DANGERS OF MONEY Sermon Delivered in New York on Abuse of Wealth FREEDOM AND TOLERATION JtremiaH Barber of the Metropolian Fore Receives a Meetage That Hi Uncle Had Died at Oakland Leaving Him All of Hit Large Eetate. New York. March li. In an address here before a large audtenec In tlui Broadway tabernacle, Dr. Arthur T Hadley, president of Yale, has pointed out the dangers of "Money Worship" and a laxity In public conscience. "It Is only within the last 50 years," he said, "that we have really begun to feel the consequences of the appeal to private judgment as a standard o( right and of the toleration of Indivi dual liberty in thought as well as in action. "Freedom iska good thing, toleration is a good thing: but when freedom and toleration are carried so far" that a man withdraws within himself with the worn out excuse "Am I my brother's keeper r his own efforts at personal salvation, however well meant, are brought to naught. "Amid the daily contact of men. habits of thought, standards of value subtle influences in the estimate of right and wrong pass from man to man quietly and unconsciously. By this subtle contact a sort of public conscience is created. The difficulty of keeping our standards of business and of politics pure today is, I think greater than it has been in any pre vious generation. The task of con vincing people In a democracy that lib erty brings duties as well as rights is hard than the corresponding task under an aristocracy. "Our Industrial machinery and oar political machinery are both excellent In their way, but no industrial or pol itical machinery however good, car. take the place of public spirit and self devotion. "Here Is the great vital need for the church: Not to make the American people lawahidlng and Intelligent; that it Is already; not even to make it kindly and courteous and Industrious, these virtues we have. If not In Ideal measure, at any rate sufficiently for the practical purpose of life; but tc fight with all Its heart and with all Its soul that that dangerous spirit of fish isolation which encourages a man to take whatever the law allows and most approves the man who has taken most. "There must be a sense that power l a trust and not a privilege that life is to be valued not for what it enables us to get out of people, but for what It enables us to give to people in the way of service." TELEPHONE HABITS. ldereneea of Buaineaa Cnntoma la Various Couiiuonltie. In the offices of the great telephone eompanies statistics are kept from which charts are plotted showing how the telephone is used in the different exchanges at different hours of the day. The convenient talking instru ment Is very little employed In early morning or late in the evening, but during the working day the rise and fall of the curves that represent the fluctuations in the number of calls makes an entertaining study. Among many other facts these plot ted curves reveal the great differences that exist In the business customs of American cities. A comparison, for example, of the charts of the Broad street' exchange, New York, and the main exchange, Chicago, on almost any given date will prove, what is gen erally known, perhaps, that Chicago ans put in a longer if not more strenu ous day than New Yorkers. The "traf fic curve" in the western metropolis begins to rise about 8 o'clock and reaches its forenoon maximum of calls about 9. The "load," as It is designat ed by the telephone engineers, stays heavy through the morning hours, dropping at about 1 to the noon mini mum, which is universal, and then mounting well up again through the afternoon until 5, after which it falls rather gradually till 8 o'clock. A characteristic curve of the great downtown New York exchange, which Includes about all the offices of the Wall street district, reveals that busi ness men in Gotham go to their of fices a full hour later than in Chicago. The highest peak is reached at 10 o'clock. The noon hour apparently be gins a little earlier than In Chicago, though the lowest point of the noon depression is reached at exactly the same time. Evidently more New Yorkers go home shortly after lunch eon, for the afternoon load is relative ly not so high in New York as in Chi cago. The curve also drops more rap Idly through the afternoon, and at 7 o'clock less business is being done by belated officials than must be the case In the neighborhood oX the Chicago main exchange. Such differences as exist between New York and Chicago appear in the curves of other cities. In general it may be said that the tendency in the l eastern cities Is toward shorter hour than prevail in the west. Boston ami Washington very closely follow New York In their telephone habit, while the average day's curve of Cleveland or IVnver Is not far different from that of Chicago. Wbea the Kjra Tire.

LUCKY POLICEMAN New York Policeman Falls Heir to $100,000 UNCLE DIES IN CALIFORNIA Difficulty of Keeping the Standards of Business and Politics Eliminated While Industrial and Political Ma chinery Are Good. New York, March 13. Jeremiah Barber, a policeman who has served the city four years, has, it is reported, fallen heir to two fortunes aggregat ing nearly $300,000. The first notice of his good fortun came from Oakland, Cal., where the policeman's uncle, James Elger, dM recently. Barber was on strike duty and had not been home In four days when his wife hurried to the station with a letter announcing that her hus band had been willed the bulk of his uncle's estate. When the husband and wife had em braced each other over the sudden good fortune the force gathered about and congratulated him. Barber went on post and his wife went home. At mid night she came back in a cab with a cablegram announcing the legal dis position of estate of another uncle o! Ramsgate, England, which had been ir. litigation a coupel of years. The po. liceman according to the cablegram was entitled under the decision to about $100,000. BRIDGE COLLAPSES. Two Men Drowned at Lot Angeles Five Injured. Los Angel., March 13. By the col lapse of the Seventh street bridge ovel the Los Angeles river, weakened b the rush of high water, the result of the terrific rains, two men are sup posed to be drowned and five otherp injured. Quite a crowd had gathered on the bridge to watch the movements of the high water, when the bridge gave away perclpitatlng about 15 persons into the river. All were rescued except twi. men whom witnesses say were swept down the river. President Lee Resign. Albany, Ore., March 13. President W. H.

TESTING THE FLOUR PROCESSES THROUGH WHICH IT IS PUT IN THE MILL The Care With Whlrfc Ike Mamfof (rr Anlre Ilia Prod act Before It la IMared lpu the Market The Expert Ilread faaere. The mysteries of bread manufacture belong to the douialu of the housewife. The rise or fall of the biscuit, while it affects the digestion of the mule frac tion ( the household, strikes a deeper, it hot more responsive, chord of the feminine nature, for, after all, every woiuau must regard herself, potentially at least, as a good cook. Just as mascu line character piques Itself on the pow er to elucidate a railroad time table. Of course In cooking, as In card play ing, the quality of the material Is Im- portaut. What the player ascribes to bad cards the cook equally certainly lavs to poor Hour. Ilcuce the tnnnufac- j hirer of flour In self defense have fallen back upon scientific methods for determining the quality of their flour. When Mrs. Brown, Indignant at the failure of her biscuits on thre succes sive mornings, exhausts her temper in an Indignant epistle to the manufac turer whose name appears on the head of the flour barrel, she is, after all, un consciously rendering him a valuable service, for the manufacturer Is seek ing to provide what Mrs. Brown is in sistent on receiving namely, good and pure flour. The process of accomplish ing this Is exhaustive, and it would doubtless surprise Mrs. Brown to leurn that when she sifted her flour she was putting it through the one hundred and tlfty-tirst repetition of this process. When Mrs. Brown sends her complaint, with her own little theory of the cause, her letter, if properly written, will In dicate the number of her package, and. with this as a clew, the manufacturer will Investigate. To he able to tlx upon the exact lo cation! of the dltllctilty in a mill turu- Inn out thousands and thousands of j barrels of flour each year requires a system which can cope with the mag nitude of the problem, which Is greatly complicated by the fact that the wheat Is gathered from half a dozen states. To do this the great mills all employ a regular staff of chemists. Kvery hour there comes to these chemists samples of the Hour that is being man ufactured. This they test and label and file away In little bottles properly Indexed. When Mrs. Brown's com plaint comes in the chemist goes buck in his index to the sample taken the hour Mrs. Brown's flour was ground and Is able to tell at ouce just what kind of flour the Irate woman received, where it came from aud what Its qual ity was. He keeps these samples a year; then they give way to new ones. , But this is merely the reference phase. Ta determine the purity of their product before It goes on the market the manufacturers have an elaborate and comprehensive system, which would doubtless convince Mrs. Brown of their good faith could she visit one of the great mills. The process begins when the wheat conn In. Samples of every lot arc sent through a tluy mill which Is an exact model of the great mill, a sort of sci entific toy us well as a valuable uud practical machine. Here the samples are ground. Then comes the first test, which Is denominated the gluten test. The Hour Is made into d'ugh balls, which resemble the biscuits with which Mrs. Brown hud such an unhap py experience. These are weighed and then washed 'with pure water until the raising qualities are eliminated. This takes the starch out of the dough, a somewhat complicated result. The gluten that remains thus Indicates the amount of this property In the wheat. Then there Is a "doughing test," which consists In making little dough pot ties, such as children delight In. These are placed on glass plates, and the ex pert determines the quality of the wheat by the color of the various pat ties, while twice a day the wheut Is critically analyzed by the regular chem ists. But the most Interesting of all the tests is the bread baking. This process would be at once the admiration and despair of any good housekeeper. Doubtless even the masculine mind would find charm In the resulting bread. From samples of flour the loaves are made and then consigned to raising ovens, where the temperature Is kept even. Before they are put In these ov ens the loaves are measured. Next they go to other ovens, heated by electricity, and are baked. Once baked to an even brown, they are ruthlessly cut in half and turned over to the expert tasting committee, which decides upon their relative merit, labels tbem and indi cates the mill from which the flour in them tame and the wheat growing dis trict which produced them. Not infre quently the tasting committee decides that two brands of flour must be blend ed to produce a harmonious loaf, and this is done and the baking experiment repeated. Out of all this tasting and blending, weighing and testing, Mrs. Brown's flour Is finally evolved, cata logued and placed on the shelves of the reference library of flour to be once more tested by the librarian chemist when Mrs. Brown's complaint, induced by a steady drop in her biscuits, comes Meet but Rarely Now.
