"FROM THE HAND OF GOD."
Repeatedly John D. Rockefeller
has said, under the mellowing Influ
ences of song and service in his home
church In Cleveland, that he consid
ers and believes that God has made
him the custodian of great wealth.
With a wealth of Illustration on
every hand of how Rockefeller accu
mulated the greatest fortune In the
world. Rockefeller's estimate of
God's responsibility toward the man
kind w hlch he created Is evident The
conception of the character of God,
It should be remembered, is not by
absolute standards, but by the stand
ards of the race or Individual.
The reader's attention is called to
the following:
Edgar Brown died August 7 at a
hospital at Sault Ste. Marie. Mich.
Kcv.-'j r.; r z:z'.:vi r tlir.t this
man died renni'es.- anj w-as burled
at the exere rf a few old friend.
This Is a common occurrence, but
widespread attention has been at
tracted P the death of Edgar Brown
because, as one correspondent says:
"While Brown had no estate, he left
behind him the memory of his kind
ness In the days of his prosperity and
the story of how John I). Rockefeller
deprived him of the fortune he found
and developed, and gained control of
the property which made the United
Sl ites Steel corporation possible."
Brown's life story is vouched for
by Dr. Jihn M. Goltra, who attended
him during his last Illness. Accord
ing to lr. Ooltra's story, as told by
the Chicago Record-Herald corres
pondent. Edgar Brown was horn In
Warren. Pa, fit years ago. Assoclat
ti.tc liim.-eif with C. C. Merrltt, the
two tramped the great northern bnr-
rens. and lorated what afterwards
proved to be the richest Iron mine in
the country. Brown was discouraged
by capitalists, but he persevered until
finally he Interested John D. Rocke-
feller and borrowed from him n..
5.o.,m, Klvng his mining claims as
-curlty. The Record-Herald corres-
pondent .-ays:

which would have made Brown and old parties, and they had no influ-
Men-lit millionaires several times
over.
"It was hero thut Brown made his
fatal mistake. He never suspected
treachery, and told of the deal to a
man who was closely associated with
Rockefeller. For what followed
Hrown always put the blame directly
on the shoulders of the oil magnate.
Ho declared, over and over, that
Rockefeller put the, screws on Hill
and his associates so that they could
not get the ready money to complete
their bargain. At any rate tho deal
fell through. Frown's notes to Rocke
feller became due, the mortgage was
foreclosed and the Immensely valua
ble ore property fell Into the hands
of the Standard Oil chief for a mere
fraction of Its value.
"Millions of dollars have been taken
out of the mines since that time, ore
worth millions more Is In sight, and
no one can compute the value that
full development will give the prop
erty in the future. For years fleets
of steamers carrying thousands of
tons nt a load have been taking the
ore away, yet the surface Is barely
scratched. The loss of the fortune
almost within his grasp proved too
j much for Merrltt. He was broken-
j hearted and within five weeks was
i carried to his crave. Brown alwavs
maintained that it was the oil king's
trickery that killed him."
NOW THEY QIARRKI. ABO IT IT.
While some republican editorial
writers are sneering at "the quantita
tive theory" here we have the editor
of Moody's Magazine and the editor
of the Wall Street Journal actually
quarreling good naturedly, of course
as to the question, which of the two
is the original "quantitative man.
The editor of Moody's Magazine
wrote:
"If there is one thing more than
another on which the editor of
Moody's Magazine may fecllitate him
self, it is the conversion of that able
and thoroughly practical J financial
publication, the Wall Street Journal
to the theory that a superfluity of
gold, Instead of making money cheap
and the prices of bonds high, as many
suppose, operates to cause higher in
tereFt rates and lower prices for
bonds."
To this the editor of the Wall
Street Journal retorts:
"For the benefit of Moody's Maga
zlne. the Wall Street Journal says: II
has always accepted the quantitative
theory of money. It has always be
lieved that the great production of
gold had a powerful Influence on
pi-Ices, tending to advance the prices
of commodities and stocks, and tend
ing to depress the prices of bonds
having fixed rates of Interest. It has
frequently, during the past few year.'
given expression to this belief and lias
therefore devoted much space to tin
gold production as one of the vitaJ
fact.- r.f the financial situation. It
discussed this subject from this point
of view long before Moody's Magazine
Has born. It is not. therefore, a
'convert.' "
Cv.n a democrat be blamed If h'j

he sees men who. In lJiMfi. sneered at
democratic doctrine, hurry to plant
themselves upon the Chicago plat

Street Journal to the blmetallsni
foundation argument! And the Jour
nal hotly retorting that it is not a
convert but has "always accepted th-j
quantitative theory of money!"
Well! Well!! Well!'! Commoner.
The real author of the quantitative
theory of money was the first man

I DEACON COM-EY OX SPIRIT
VA1.ISM. Archdeacon Colley ,of Stockton.
England, has certainly succeeded i
creating an amazing sensation at the
Church of England congress. Some
weeks ago the clerical dignitary gave
grave notice that he Intended to bring
the matter of psychic phenomena be
fore the congress and insist that
Spiritualism should be discussed as an
article of faith.
This program, however, the con
gress refused to consider, nor would
it listen to the recital of his Spirit
ualistic experiences, which the arch
deacon had prepared. The clergyman
was not daunted, however, and dcliv
eied his prohibited lecture on the out
side of a crowded audience, which in
cluded two bishops.
It certainly was one of the most
remarkable papers ever presented by
an Episcopal minister.
He was quite frank In his replies to
subsequent questions put .to him by
clergymen. One of these clergymen
asked him what was the good of all
these mysterious visitations from an
other world of which he had given us
so lengthy and hazy an account.
"Can you help us." said the cler
gyman, "to realize existence after
death?"
"Ve.7," replied the archdeacon, "I
can. for that la the beginning and end
or .spiritualism. Spiritualism Is not
for those who are believers In the
Christian faith, but for those who nit
unbelievers, ami it proves to them
that there is an after life. I consider
nil inn cieigyinen ougut to take up
Spiritualism as pan of their theolog
leal studies, ami thev should treat It In
a scientific manner. Spiritualism Is
not for scoffers, for wondei mongers,
or for those who want a 'tip' for the
Derby. It Is a religion and a part of
the great science of theology."
"1 wanted the Church Congress to
crnsn-'examlrte me on the reality of
m.v experiences." continued the arch
deacon, "for I am convinced that
Spiritualism, as the scientific set-off
against tho Sadduecism of material
ism, is the ally and not the enemy
of everything that is good and true
In all religions. It brings added fac
ulties to human nature, as any Bible
reader or student of modern oriental
life knows well.
''Spiritualism comes as a godsend to
millions who are incapable of believ
ing the Christian faith without its aid.
It teaches that death Is tho gate ot
life, hence tlu.t there It, continuous
and Immediate and conscious being
with no sleeping In the grave, for, as
our beautiful burial service says, the
souls of the faithful after they are
delivered from the burden of the flesh
are In Joy and felicity. But It is even
more hopeful to us In that it brings
us into communication with our de
parted friends."

The new submarine torpedo boat
Lake, the largest ever constructed in
this country, recently completed an
open sea voyage rrom nuwpon e.
Va., to Hr'dgeport, Conn., at an aver
age speed of over seven knots. This
performance is cpnsldered remarka
ble owing to the fact that the Lake
war unconvoyed, a feat never before
performed in this country.
After receiving her finishing
touches at the yard of her builders,
the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry
Pock company, the Lake began her
long voyage on the afternoon of Mon
day, June 25. When Cape Henry was
reached the engine were topp .
long enough to enable a communica
tion to be sent to her owners. The en
gines were then started again and
never stopped until when off Barne-
gat, It being necessary to slow down
to avoid a large school of whales, who
evidently mistook the submarine for
one of their number.
About 2 o'clock p. m. on Wednes
day, tile ?7th, the Lake arrived safely
at SaiulV Hook and anchored Inside.
Ioter on the voyage was continued up
New York harbor and through Hell
tiivte under her own power, Into Long
Island sound to Bridgeport, nt which
place she arrived without a mishap
of any description.
The submarine marvel consists of a
steel capsule or cigar-shaped form,
within which Is placed all the propc
ling machinery, air compressor-)
crews quarters, etc., and which It
surmounted by a wooden superstruc
ture and deck, which gives the boal
an appearance not unlike that of hte
original Monitor, but, on a smaller
scale. The propelling power on the
surface Is supplied by gasoline en
gines turning twin screws; while sub
merged the screws are driven by elec
tric motors from storage batteries of
great capacity. Within the boat are
comfoi table quarters for the crew of
10 persons. Including a galley in which
the meals are cooked by means of
electricity. Sufficient ulr may be stor-i
ed in the air tanks to allow the boat
to be submerged several days without
causing distress to the crew.
She is equipped with three torpedo
tubes, which can be reloaded and
fired several times without coming to
the surface, the commanding officer
In the meanwhile keeping his eye on
his prey by means of a sighting Instru
ment which projects above the sur
face of the water, and even if discov
ered, offers n target too small to be
struck except by a chance shot.
The boat Is equipped with hydro
planes, or Mde rudders, which, when
set at an angle by means of pneu
matic power, cause the boat to descend
on an even keel while going ahead

Ho, windy gossips, In your ear!

The jilted sun, with eager face,
Stole In and kissed the waking

And, while she blushed, a bobolink
That all he sees in music tells.
Rang out the tidings to the world
With tinkling chimes of elfin bells.
She rose and donned her rich attire.
The yearning bridesmaids led her
down,
And she was wedded in the church
Before the Jostling, gaping town.
But think you that the stoled priest,
With studied pomp and sacred rite.
Hath wholly bound to one of earth
This bride of the adoring light? ,
The grace of the elusive streams
Is In that form his vows would

And mellow chimes have pulsed it

That she was trothed another's
