The success of the capture of Miss
Stone is a notice to all the world that
stolen missionaries are exchangeable
for gold , and so has lessened the safety
of every worker in that cause ; and , fur
ther , the success of Miss Stone on the
fctuge would be evidence that being
stolen is an Incident that can later be
made to return dividends. Where do
the sympathetic public and the mi-
stolen missionary come in ?
Youug .lolm D. Rockefeller' has been
talking to his Bible class again. This
time he assures his fellow workers in
the Lord's vineyard that "riches do not
"bar one from salvation. " Citing the
Incident of the rich young man who
sisked the Savior what he should do
to inherit eternal life , young Mr. Rocke
feller said It was an exceptional case
and that Jesus had not intended his
answer to apply to all wealthy men.
Elaborating his explanation of what
Christ meant John D. . Jr. , declared :
"Salvation depends upon whether the
man possesses the gold or the gold pos-
* ! i s < p5 the man. The i > ossession of
wealth will not bar one from heaven.
It is the improper use of it , and it is
not wealth alone of our possessions
which we should use righteously ami
not unrighteously. " It is apparent that
the elder Rockefeller has said nothing
In the presence of the family circle to
indicate that he shares Mr. Carnegie's
opinion that a man who dies rich dies
disgraced. Also It is evident that the
yountr man has no present intention of
refusing to accept the money which he
experts to inherit or of making haste
to distribute it among the masses when
It comes into his possession.
"Wo guard onr noses ; why not guard
onr eyes ? The bill-board is an ocular
slouch. " Those words of a Chicago
writer mteht well be uttered after en

Hanked by painted assertions that this
stove is tho best on earth , and that
. modif-ino an unfailing cure-all. Yet
there is a more moderate view that
outdoor advertising is a necessary evil
upon which certain restrictions should
lo laid. It is an evil which from the
Tery competition it incites spread rap-
Idly. Even the landscapes of our new
jM > s essioiis are said to be breaking out
with familiar'symptoms of American
enterprise. In many of onr cities , oast
and west there is a healthy movement
toward bringin ? the rights of advertis
ers arid of the public into a just rela
tion. Actual and proposed legislation
In various places fixes the size and
height of billboards , forbids their erec
tion bosjdo parkways , and provides for
tho written consent of three-fourths of
tho residents of certain districts before
' advertising signs may bo erected. This
movement and tho examples set by En
glish and Continental lovers of beauty
point in the right direction. In London ,
sin organized society has accomplished
niiii-h. In Berlin It Is now forbidden

lic omnibuses for advertising purposes

Under the head "Educational Valm
of Play , " Dr. John E. Bradley sings ii
the Review of Reviews the praises o :
play not only in the child's free life , bu

CUTTING HIMSELF OFF.
Clergyman Had Strong Sentiment * ai
to Right and Wrong.
The Rev. Edward Cannon , a chap
lain to King George IV. , was a dogged
ly independent man. On one oct-asioi
he refused to compliment hls roya
master on his singing , and for a tini (
fell into disfavor. His manner was
high-handed and not always too court
eous , but his actions were always or
the side of right and justice. Tin
biography of his friend Burham , tin
author of the "Ingoldsby Legeuds , *
contains , among other anecdotes ol
Cannon , the story of how he disin
herited himself.
A silly old lady summoned him t (
her house , and pretended to be declin
ing in health. She told him she had
made her wall , by which the whole ol
a considerable fortune was to be left
to him.
"I don't believe it. " said Cannon ,
after a pause , in which he eyed bet
doubtfully. The lady assured him that
the document was lying in a desk in
the room.
" 1 won't believe it" persisted Can
non. "nn loss I see it. "
Smiling at his incredulity , she placed
the will iu his hands. Cannon read it.
"Well. " he said , deliberately , "if I
had not soon it in your own hands. I
L-onld not have believed yon were such
ui unnatural brute. "
Thrusting the paper between the bars

B Returned Free Men.
Manila , Friendly natives in Ma
nila say a report is current among
their countrymen that the five sold
iers of the Fifth cavalry who were
captured by the insurgeuts May 30
have been boloed to death near Tere
sa in Morong province , Luzon. This
report has not been confirmed by the
American authorities of that district.
Twenty-five members of a baud of
insurgents who were captured while
fighting with General Lukban in Sa-
mar took the oath of allegiance to
the United States and were subsqe-
uently released. Four members of
the band were killed in the engage
ment which resulted in the capture
of their companions. The twenty-
five who have sworn allegiance have
seen General Chaffee and have Dem
ised to give him all the assistance in
their power in the work of main
taining the present peace con
ditions in Sainar
A commission has been sent to Sa-
raar to appoint Senor Llorentes gov-
enor of the island and to establish
civil government there
It is expected that a general amn
esty will be declared July 1 ; this
amnesty will result in the release of
the Filipino prisoners now on the
island of Guam.
The prospects in the island of Le-
yte for a speedy termination of the
armed resistance there are bright.
Since the reports of the island were
closed surrenders of insurgents to the
native constabulary have occurec
daily.
Capture Counterfeiting Gang.
Baltimore , Md , United States se
cret service men , aided by local po
lice , Sunday captured eight Italians
supposed to be members of a gang o
counterfeiters who have operated in
several parts of the country during
the past few months. The prisoners
were Dominic de Marco , Frank de
Marco , Tony de Marco , and Martlq
Marco , father and sons , and Cato Bo-
cesse , Louis Zimimi aud two women
named Martial.
Several days ago the Martil women
were detected passing bogus hall dol
lars and quarters. Today the houses
of all those placed under arrest were
raided. At each of the houses a
quantity of metal and some counter
feiting paraphernala were found. The
prisoners formerly lived in New York.
All reached Baltiimore three months
ago , and their advent marked the
presence of a lot of queer coins thai
had been made in the metropolis. It
is said that the prisoners are only q
part of a crowd of suspects and a
number of other arrests will follow
in nearby cities.
The De Marcos claim to be barbers
and the other men say they are la
borers.

of steel workers who were with Gilles *
pie at the time of the shooting ,
While officers were hastening to tha
scene the steel workers were preparing
to lynch the negro , and the officers ar
rived just , in time to save him. The
prisoner was taken to jail in a street
car , followed by scores of people in
buggies .and on bicycles Threats ol
lypcbing the negro tonight are made
by the steel workers. The bullet
pierced Gillespie's brain and the phy
sicians entertain no hope of recovery.

from his home in Newark , on May

More than 5,000 persons that
thronged the streets leading to the

the child in his arms , headed a great
procession which marched to the1
Lowenstein home.
Abe disappeared while viewing a
circus parade in company with his
brother. The latter said a young
woman dressed in black had taken
Abe in her arms and held him above

of persons were shot and two at least

The police did their work well , but
they were so few in number that

bullets by thestriking silk dyers'

diction thit ; the riota.tlie result
of -.nanged plans to in\olve tin
wvulu-be peaceful element in the

Aimng the leaders of the trouble
was a man named McQueen and
another named Galleano , the former
an Englishman the latter an Italian.
O hors , agents of anarchist circles ,

second day of thr strike , was on
hand and presided. He spoke and
B > did McQueen and Galleano and
the latter worked his countrymen
into a frenzy.
Then McQueen leaped into contrd
of the meeting. He called for a
vote on the question of calling for a
general strike of all branches of the
silk trade. All vnteMn/avor , and
a committee was appointed to con
sider means of bringing the silk
workers out. Galleano was one of
this committee. It gathered amid a
babel of tongues and a scene of con
fusion. Five minutes latei Galleano
emerged from the group shouting
something in Italian. Instantly a
mob formed about him. Into it
rushed tbe Italians and the other
foreigners and a moment later the
mob. led bv Galleano , swept down
Beliiiont avenue.
The Columbia mill , a silk ribbon
factory , was Ihst attacked. The
doors were forced open and the win
dows were riddled with stones.
Twenty young women on the first
floor stood at bay and threatened to
fight and the weave's on the second
floor ran to their aid. The opera
tives were forced to leave the build
ing , however , and the mob swept
down Belmont avenue.
Several members of the "group of
existenceBresci's old comrades ,
with Galleano at their head , were in
the lead. The Cedar Cliff mill and
the Byenwater mill were compelled
to close clown. The ne.xt place visit
ed was n cotton braid factory. It
seemed to make no difference to the
mob whether it was in nnv way con
