THE 03I-AHA DAILY JJJJE: MONDAY, MAY 13, 1001. grandson of n former mllllonalro ot that city, ot whose estate he Is trustee. According to the evidence In tbo proso cutlm; Attorney's hands Fitzgerald went to Taylor, Just as Loss went to Darton, -ith u story ot a profitable contract which It tool: $100,000 to secure, and Taylor ndvancid the money. This Is supposed to be the explanation ot the worthless J 100,000 cbcclc certified by Kdmund Schmidt & Co., and concerning which tbo council committee was charttablo enough to sup poso that Fitzgerald "has been Imposed on by others." That Taylor advanced $100,000 Is believed here by the prosecu tion to be susceptible ot clear proof, but that It was used to guarantee tho bid of Fitzgerald on tho contract Is not. Ilnrlun Woulil llnvc llrm tint, Tho theory on which the prosecution Is working Is that Instead of the $100,000 being Used as a deposit to guaranteo the fulfill ment of the contract If awarded, tho worth less check was sent along with tho bid and tho money placed where It would do tbo most good. That Mr. lnmann, the engineer who was out hero In the Interest of tho Fitzgerald contract, was sincere in his belief that thcro was plenty of money back of tho Fitzgerald bid Is granted on all aides, and tho theory of tho prosecution Is that Mr. Taylor Is r.lmply $100,000 out, Just as Mr. llarton would have been $.10,000 out had ho not secured tho Indictment ot Salisbury In Chicago. Tho attempt now being made by the prosecution Is to have Taylor come here and testify, It has secured a partial promise front him that ho wilt and his evi dence Is awaited with Interest. , lncMInn of .1 urlNillctlon, Another reason why tho Fitzgerald In stead of tho liarton case has been decided upon as tho chief basts of tho prosecution Is that the dealings with Darton were all outside of tbo stnto ot Michigan and there Is a question as to tho Jurisdiction of the courts of this stato In the matter. Uesldes that Barton has either got his money back or says ho has, and he cannot bo brought hero as a witness without his content. Then thcro Is no ov'dcnce at hand that If any of the Darton money did remain In Grand llaplds It got Into tho hands ot members of tbo city council. In tho Fitzgerald cno the situation Is different. Tho council, while not awarding the contract, showed every disposition to do so and In tho minds of well informed pooplo hero would have dono so had it not been for tho delay caused by the dis covery of tho character of tho certified check and thou th'o explosion following tho Indictment of Salisbury in Chicago and tho subsequent ovulations. After that nothing could have been done, ns tho com munity bad becomo too thoroughly wrought up. That Taylor did, however, give $100,000 into the hands of third parties, In the ex pectation of gottlng what would havo proven to bo a most valuablo contract, Is expected to be proven by the stato.

Men Sifted h- Cuntnct. Rev. J. M. Rose, pastor ot the United Presbyterian church, preached Sunday morning from the theme, "Moral Sitting and the Kingdom of God." His text was from Judges vll, 7: "And tho Lord said unto Gideon, By tho three hundred men that lapped will I save you and deliver tho Mldlanltes Into thine hand, und let all tho other pooplo go very roan unto his place." "Men nro sifted by coming Into contact with Jesus," said the pastor. "All these other ways center here. He Is pre eminently the touchstone of character. At His Infancy Slmeou declared that to Him tho thoughts of many hearts would bo re vealed. Simeon the aged, when bo held tbo child Jesus In his arms nt tho temple, prophesied that by coming Into contact with Hlra tho thoughts of many hearts would bo revealed, and this was one of tho most outstanding features of His subse quent life. None who enmo nenr Him could remain lndlfferont. They might hate, or thoy might love; they might admire or they might scorn Him, but In any caeo thoy wore compelled to show tho deepest Hint was In them. "Stalker says that In the Talmud there Is a fable tbnt King Solomon wore a ring engraved with the dlylne name, and every ono toward whom he turned the Inscription was forced lo speak out whatever he was thinking at the moment, So Jesus, by His moro presence among men, brought to tho surface their deepest thoughts and feelings and made them display the best and the worst that their 'hearts concealed, "What think ye of Christ?' Is the ques tion of tho ages. Their thought about Him and their treatment of Hlr.i rovealed char acter In that day, and reveals character today." Nlu unit ItlKlitenusueis t.'ompnred. Rov. T. S. Hawloy took for his text Sun day morning at Lmvo Avenue Presbyterian church Provorbs vlll, 36: "He that slnneth against Me wrongoth IiIb own soul." The minister said that what wo find In Proverbs is what ancient men found to bo the truth and they found It by cxperlencs. Whon the Proverbs tnld that the fear of God was the beginning of knowledge they knew It to be truo, because they had seen thnt ho prospereth who puts his faith in tho living God, Rev, Hawley pointed out that we need not go to tho new toitament lo find Christ.

SILVER SAYS FAREWELL Departing Hector Preaclien Npeelnl Mrrmon for Ills Lodge Brethren. Hcv. II. Percy Silver, for threo years pastor of tho Church of the Good Shepherd, preached his final sermon at that church Sunday evening, and held a special service for tho members of Union Pacific council, Boyal Arcanum and camp 120, Modern Woodmen of America, of which organiza tions he Is, a member. Tho church was filled with tho members of the fraternal societies, their wives, and many of the friends of the departing pastor. The mlnUter took for his subject, "The Fraternal Societies and tho Church," reading as his text the twenty-fifth chaptor of tho gospel according to St. Matthew, say ing In port: "We see In the scriptures that the whole course of Rod's word is to bring men to a realization of the divine principles of truth and love. The events portrayed In the bible were the steps In the working out of a great problem tho destiny of man. The Jews were a peculiar people chosen by Ood to work out the problem of the brotherhood ot man. So much was this so that the Jews found fault with Jeus for His actions, illustrating tho truth of tho statement that when people become devoted students of theory they lose sight of the tact. "The church of God exists to teach men to be merciful, to bo charitable, to bo brotherly. I havo no sympathy with those ecclesiastics who denounce fraternal soci eties. These societies promote good feel ing, good cheer. They are a protection to the home and a benefit to tho country in which they exist. I find one difference bo twoen the church an'd the fraternal so cieties to be that whllo tho latter are striv ing to get new members In them we have In the former to pat the old members on tho back to stop them from going out. Tho church of the Living God should recognlzo the use of the fraternal society and should co-operato with it In Its works ot brotherly love. Men will go to tho lodgo room who will not go to church.

At tho First Baptist church Sunday morn ing Rev. H J. Vosburg of Beavor Dam, Wis,, preached, taking as his text II Corinthians vl, 11-13, saying lu part: "Enlargement of tho heart, from a physi ological standpoint, Is a dangerous affec tion, hut from a religious standpoint is ono of tho most necessary things for a Chris tian. St. Paul, who wrote tho passage of scripture quoted, was one of tho grandest of men. Ills grandour confronts us from whatever standpoint wo may view him. Paul, while denied association with Jesus In his llfo was tho first apostle to see clearly that In Christ there Is nelthor Jew nor Gentile, man nor womau, bond or free, but all aro ono In Christ Jesus, Paul, In his writings, set problems for future ages which nil ot the philosophers nnd doctors have failed to solve at this time. The grandeur of Paul was n iver better manifest than In his dealing with petty annoyances. "It has been said that tho height of tol eration consists of being able to tolerate tho Intolerable, rnd Paul could do that, Tho heart should ne given a larger place In tho life of roan. Greatness of heart con sists not In greatness of Intellect. The mind should be subject to the heart, for 'knowledge puffeth up, but loVo edlfteth,' The schools and colleges may produce self sufficient Intellectual giants; they should produce men who would consecrate their learning to humanity. Largeness of heart Is distinct from softness of the ""heart. Emo tlnn has a place In human affairs, the same place that steam has In in engine. Tho steam Is there not to make the engine feel good, but to make It move. Largeness of heart Is not false llbtra'.lty of feeling. Nar the foundation stone of the church of God You nro needed In the lodge and tho camp and the council to assist your fellows and to protect the widow Hnd the orphan. If, ns I think, you are doing In these societies tho uork of tho Living God, you must look to Him for strength. You have done good work, but you would have done better had each of the members of the societies had been In Individual harmony with Ood. If the church will come closer In touch with the hearts and homes ot men and the so rlctlei will come closer In touch with the church, the doctrines of friendship, do votlon and love taught by both wilt over come the world." At the close of tho services Hcv. Mr. Sll vcr shook hands with the members and friends who gathered around him to wish him godspeed on his Journey and n pro3 porous life In hh new home, St. Louis, for which place he .vlll probably leao Tues day.

Tbo socialists aro nlivo and enthusiastic, whllo populism Is dead. Can the democratic party fool tbo people again? I havo always voted tho populist ticket, but I am now through with them. The democratic party has killed every re form party that over came Into existence. Will the people ever learn their treach ery? What can tho populists ever ex pect from such a party? I am surprised that they could think for one moment to again follow such a deceitful and treach erous party.

Central Points of Sunday Sermons. rowness of liberality Is sometimes more exclusive than the bigotry of orthodoxy. The evidences of a large heart arc charity and benevolence." MniuetluiFM Vice In Luxury. On tho topic, "Tho Devastation of Lux ury," Rev. Edwa.d F. Trefz yesterday morning made r serious arralgnmont of the vice of luxury. His text was Paul's admo nition for simplicity, and this was presonted In contrast to tho luxury to which men give thcmsolves today. He spoke of the few statements of tho beliefs and Ideas of Christ which aro the basis of all of tho economic and religions theories of the day. They were strong becauso of their simplic ity. "Men aro demanding simplicity today," said the preacher, "because they aro tired of tho vice called luxury. Luxury has been defined by a Frenchman as something which costs much, but Is of littlo value becauso men do not need It. "During tho last winter some of the states havo been attempting to pass laws against smoking. Some men on tho streets sneer at tho diamonds thoy see others wearing, but confess that their beer costs them 30 to 40 cents n day nnd that this might have been Invested In diamonds. A man spends $300 to $400 n year for tobacco and wonders why another man can buy n fine carriage or gather a fine library. Men wonder If the bubonic plague will strike our shores this year. What of It? We have a plague hern greater than the bubonic. This country Is fast appronchlng an expenditure of more than 11,000,000,000 for whisky That is luxury. There never war n time, except for medicinal use, when whisky ever did a man any good. "Tho athlete In training has to forego whisky, tobacco, pastry nnd all of those lux uries, The orator on tho platform has to sec to It that he has a simple diet that his brain may bo clear. The girl who wants a complexion like a peach must not havo theso luxuries or vices. "What this nation wants Is to got bark to the realm of simple living, slmplo wants and great Ideas, Luxury does not Indicate the progress of a nntlon; It merely Indi cates tho h"lght of Its fall, That nation In luxury will have only a few great men. only a few great, Idejs. H Is the mon who hav shunned luxury that havo become the lead era of tbo world," KILLS OR INJURES AL Accident to Discing Pait7 Lmes Mmbr Fr from Hnrti.
