that the miracle of the resurrection is
credible! to stlcntltic Rnd advanced think
er. MIhb Cecil Kllet sang two solus In
pleading manner.
"I cannot conceive of any single fact or
porting of th scriptures which In Itself
so epitoml7.es and unifies the entire Chils
tlan belief ns the resurrection of Jesus, "
said the speaker. "Our gcwpel is the gos
pel of the cross, of the tomb and of the
resurrection; the gospel of cKath In order
to live, the transformation from the durk
ness of Good Friday to the glorious light
of Easter morn. And yet 1 know there are
a great many men Inclined to scoff nt the
possibility of such a fact. While the en
tire new testament Is based upon this
fact, only a week ago so admirable a mun
as Prof. Ooldwin Smith, representing a
large and serious rlav of honest thinkers,
questions the possibility of such a miracu
lous occurrence as the resurrection of our
Lord Jesus.
"I think wo ore perfectly honest and per
fectly reasonable when we do accept the
miracles which the testament tells us were
performed. I'nless you can prove that the
men who gave us this record were dishon
est and deceivers, you must accept their
testimony iss first-handed and direct. One
man's testimony who did see is worth that
of a million Humes, John Stuart Mills,
Huxleys and others who did not see.
"If God Is the author of life, Is It more
difficult or mysterious to restore life than
It Is to give It Is It not reasonable to
suppose that God is above the laws of na
ture that He created? It Is tho law of
laws that a higher law is superior to a
lower law. In the miracles the Lord
wrought on earth we get Just a glimpse
of heaven. The Bible does not contradict
nature. The miracles of the Bible do not
disturb the laws of nature. It Is sin that
does disturb the laws of nature.
"The Bible records ten appearances of
our Lord after the resurrection, one of
them to BOO people, the greater number of
whom were alive when Paul made his pub
lic claim of the resurrection In Athena
They could have disputed It if it were not
true. There were disbelievers ox that time
you will remember, who finally saw tho
Lord arisen and believed. What would
have been the motives of the apostles to
deceive? Every man of them paid the
penalty of his life for his faith. You can
not account for the rise of Christianity on
the theory that it was false."

upon the evolution or religious laeas in

work of Jesus, in His brief ministry-, and
pointing out the modifications of thought
made by His successors In the following

"It was the first effort of Jesus to teach

Dean Beecher preached Sunday morning
at Trinity cathedral. In part he said:
"The story of the life of Jesus and the
suffering that He endured Is pitifully sad,
and His brutal death even more painful, but
these have been changed into Joy, for He
has gained for us an eternal victory over
death. Jesus lives and still proclaims, 'Be

ing something of the Intimately personul
character of His love. Perfect knowledge
of the Ufa of Jesus and complete realiza
tion of the purpose of his sacrifices can be
obtained only through the eternal growth
or wisdom through the aeons of time. It
would be impossible for the finite mind to
crosp the thought and spirit of His teach
ings as He taught from day to day.
"There Is always something In the teach
ings of Christ that Is applicable to the
wants of the Individual. Our preparation
for the blessings which Christ has prom
lsed us must be learned through the study
of the things which He left on earth. To
day we shall consider the lesson of the

and bishops, tho church fashioning more

"A problem that came up was that of
receiving Gentiles into tho church without
submission' to the Jewish rite. The more
liberal policy had been championed by
Paul, and his followers carried it. through
In his name. With the augmentation of
Gentile elements In the church and the
ever increasing tendency to organise In
the manner of the Roman state came the
application of Greek and Roman thought I
to the Jewish feundamentals of the gospel
with far-reaching effects. The doctrine of
propitiation by a bloody sacrifice, common
to all ancient peoples, afforded a basis upon
which to unite the Jew and Gentile."
DEATH OF FRANK A. GOODSELL
Had Been for Fifty-Five Years
Locomotive Engineer, Thirty
with I'nlon Pacific.
Frank A. Goodsell, one of the oldest lo
comotive engineers In active service In the
west', died early Sunday morning at the
home of his daughter, 1301 Georgia avenue,
this city. Death tame suddenly. Though
slightly Indisposed for a week past the fam
ily thought little of It, and most of them
were absent from the city when the sum
mons came.
Mr. Goodsell was born June 26, 1828, and
was hearing the close of his 77th year,
Fifty-five years of his life were spent In
ran roaa services as locomotive engineer, a
record which few railroad trainmen can
boast of. For twenty-five years he handled
the throttle on eastern roads, chiefly on the
Michigan Central. He came from the lat
ter road to the Union Pacific nearly thirty
years ago, and remained In active service
up to ten days ago. His experiences In
the cabs of ancient and modern engines
were many and varied. He was In a score
or more wrecks and yet was never seriously
injured.
The deceased leaves two daughters, Mrs,
W. II. Murray and Mrs. Thomas Kelly,
who are temporarily absent from the city,
and one son, Oscar Goodsell of Toronto
Canada. Telegrams have been sent to the
children, and they are now on their way
to Omaha. Mayor Goodsell of Luddington

his way to Omaha.
Arrangements for the funeral will be
made when the family arrives.

good effect, the acoustic properties of the
church permitting of everybody's enjoy
ment of the beautiful arrangement Dur
ing the offertory Miss Macy Stapenhorst
sang C. Henshaw Duna's "Salve Reglna"
with sweet impresstveneus, Mrs. L. F. Cro-
foot was the organist of the occasion, and
added materially to the esthetic satlsfadr
tlon of the congregation.
The new Benson church is seventy-flve
feet in length and thirty-five feet In width.
It Is a frame structure of plain archi
tecture, solidly and well put, up. In Inter
ior decoration it is more than ordinarily
handsome for so small a church. All of
the windows are of stained glass, the wall
tints ara in excellent taste, and the main
altar la a thing of beauty. Its principal
feature Is a statue of St. Bernard. There
ara two side altars which, when completed
and decorated, will add very much to the
pleasing effect. The choir loft, while not
large, Is sufficient for present needs. Over
the archway of the main altar Is the In
scription, "This is no other but the house
of God and the gate of heaven." The
church has a seating capacity of 360 peo
ple, but as the aisles are commodious 600
people can crowd into It. Until farther no
tice mass will be celebrated at St. Bernard's
at 9 o'clock every Sunday morning. The
church authorities expect to appeal to a
congregation of at least 600 souls In Benson
and Vicinity.
Father Harrington and his co-laborers,
after much consideration, started the new
church last December and the work has
never been allowed to lag. The cost, when
completed, will be In the neighborhood of
$5,000, and considerable was realized to
ward what Is still needed of this sum by
the collection of yesterday. The building
committee of the church has consisted of
B. H. Post, Joseph McQuIre and Dominlck
Hart. They have discharged . their duty
with a faithfulness and success which has
won the unstinted praise of the pastor and
the bishop.

Origin of Senator Piatt's Title.
A dispute has arisen as to the origin of
the title "Easy Boss," applied to Senator
Piatt. The phrase was originated by Sen
ator Piatt and was first published In the
New York Evening Sun In January, lSflo.
Mayor Strong had been In office a few
days and had refused to take orders from
Rev. Dar. Charles H. Parkhurst. The
doctor gave out a long statement, In which
he said that "Boss Piatt" was running
the city government. When asked by a
reporter to reply to the Parkhurst state
ment Senator Piatt chuckled and said:
"I am an easy boss if I am a boss. I
do not say to this man, 'You must come,
or to that man, "You shall go.' " The In
terview with tha senator was published
under this headline: "I'm an Easy Boss,"
Says Piatt." That originated the title
of Easy Boss.

(From a Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. April 30.-(Speclal.)-The
police court of the District of Columbia
has an Interesting case pending, growing
out of the tobacco tag fad. A local dealer
has gone to a greater limit In offering
prizes than was -ever before attempted.
If legal, it Is locally a good thing, and
If it could be operated through the malls
the late Louisiana lottery would sink Into
Insignificance. The device is the invention
of George M. Pullman, who utilises it to
advertise his brand of tobacco, which Is
sold exclusively in this city, and he owns
and operates the only machine of Its kind
ever made. The scheme, as advertised by
Mr. Pullman, is as follows:
"We will place In this cabinet from time
to tlmo a total of 33,330 checks, made pay
able to bearer, ranging In sums of from
$100 to 15 cents. We will divide the total
number of checks into live lots of 5,800
checks each, and with each lot we will
put one check for 1100, two for $50 each,
three for $25 each, five for $10 each, ten
for $5 each, lifteen for $2 each, 100 for $1
each, 2() for 50 cents, 400 for 25 cents each,
and 6,924 for 15 cents each. The checks
are then shuftled up and numbered and
then placed In the cabinet ready to be
paid out.
"To redeem the tags, one the basis as
above mentioned, it costs us an average of
81) cents per hundred, and for those who
don't want to sell their tags In lots of
thirty, wo will buy them In lots of 100 or
over at 80 cents per hundred."
All this looks very much like a lottery,
but Mr. Pullman has, up till recently, at
least, avoided police Interference by an
Ingenious plan. "Our silent tag buyer,"
he says, "is a novel device In Itself, which
holds about 2,000, bank checks, and de
livers one at a time by the unlocking of
tho drawer; the drawer is provided with
a register which records the number of
times the drawer has been opened, and the
check number must In all cases correspond
with the number as shown on tho register,
thereby enabling us to tell every one that
wo will pay for their tags."
Customer's Chance One In Ten.
It is pointed out that the customer has
but one chance In ten of obtaining more
than 24 cents for thirty of his tags, which
is the regular redemption price at the rate
of 80 cents ner 100, while he has nine
cnancca in ten of receiving less than 24
cents, yet the speculative tendency Is so
strong that 99 out of 100 customers prefer
to take the chance.
All this appears very harmless and plaus
ible, but there are certain features of this
scheme which do not favorably impress
the local authorities. It Is represented that
each lot of 6,660 checks contains certain
checks calling for $25, $50 and $100. But
do they? For thut the customer has only
Mr. Pullman's word. Again, the machine
holds only 2,000 checks at a time and what
is to prevent him from placing therein 2,000
checks each calling for only 15 cents?
Nothing. Further, what Is to prevent him
from placing tho $100 check, the $50, $25, $10
and $5 checks In succession, and when these
numbers are reached going to the ma
chine and extracting them? Or, why put
them In the machine at all? There ts not
a shadow of doubt that If the malls were
used the scheme would be squelched: Im
mediately by the postal authorities, and
District Attorney Jerome would Jump on
it with both feet if It were operated in
New York. 1
Mr. Pullman has been arrested on a
charge of permitting gaming on his prem
ises and his cose Is pending in the police
court. But an uppeal will surely be taken
no matter which way It may be decided.
Vlralnla Farms Quite a Fad.
Tho "abandoned farms" of northern Vir
ginia are becoming attractive to northern
men und each year sees additions to the
lists of congressmen and others from the
north who have invested In lands which
a few years ago were considered prac
tically valueless. Twenty years ago thou
sands of acres bordering the shores of the
Potomac were In the market at from $2 to
$4 an acre. And many of these "farms"
comprising from 300 to 1,000 acres each
were Improved with old colonial bulldihgs
which cost five or ten times the price
asked for the entire place.
Eight or ten years ago Senator Stewart
of Nevada purchased about 600 acres in
Loudoun county some twenty-five miles
up the Potomac. Shortly thereafter Inter
state Commerce Commissioner J. D. Yeo
mans. Congressman Hull of Iowa and
Wadsworth of New York, with one or two
others, formed a company and purchased
about 6,000 acres below Washington's
former home at Mt. Vernon. They stocked
the place with several hundred finely bred
Jerseys, Guernseys, Holstelns and grade
cows aud established a modern dairy plant
on a scientific basis. They supply milk and
cream not only to hotels and residences
in Washington, but to the winter hotels
in Florida as well,
Senator Stewart decided a year ago to
abandon the dairy business. He sold his
"Ashburn farm" of 60O acres to Mr. Yeo
mans. It is the most thoroughly equipped
dairy farm In the state and Mr. Yeomans,
'since his retirement from the Interstate
Commerce commission, Is devoting all his
attention to his agricultural Interests. He
purchased. In addition to the Ashburn
farm, about 1.S00 acres In another block
from the senator and it is likely that he
will dispose of the latter to other northern
men who are looking to Virginia as promis
ing great possibilities In agriculture.
Frank G. Carpenter, the traveler and
writer, is another northern man who has
Invested in the lands of the Old Dominion
and half a dozen others might be named. I
With proper methods It has been dem
onstrated, the soil of the state can again
Ue mado productive and Its cultivation
profitable. With cheap lands, an excel
lent climate, a -id capital enough to make
a test any man may expect excellent re
turns for his Investment in cattle raising'
and fruit growing In the state south of
the Potomac, which is known as "The
Mother of Presidents."
Purchasing- Agent for Canal.
There Is a strong probability that as
soon as he returns to Washington Presi
dent Roosevelt will offer the position of
purchasing agent of the Panama Canal
commission to Colonel Joseph Minetree,
now occupying a like position with the
Southern railroad. Colonel Minetree was
attached to the staff ot General William
Mahone during the civil war and when
that fiery little fighter abandoned the
demociatlc party and Joined the republi
cans "Joe" Minetree took all the chances
of social and political ostracism which
such a course meant and followed his mil
itary leader In his politics. Twenty years
ago an ex-confederate republican was
looked upon as a pariah In Virginia. But
Minetree persisted in his political course
and today there Is no more popular of
ficial of the Great Southern Railway sys
tem than the colonel. It is not only on
account of his popularity that he Is likely
to be invited to connect himself with the
l'midiui coaiiulaaiuu. It Is, in fact, far

"We all like Colonel Minetree," re
marked the agent of a railway supply
house In speak'ng of the possible change
today, "and we hope that he will be ap
pointed and will accept. The reason Is
not altogether disinterested. Colonel Mine
tree can talk the most soulless of all cor
porations Into a 5 or 10 per cent discount
on rock bottom prices, and if he gets out
of the Southern we shall have a better
chance to make a few dollars profit on our
sales to that railroad."
The president Is determined to obtain'
absolutely the best available man for the
position, which Is regarded as one of the
highest Importance. Such men as Mine
tree are scarce and If his services can
be secured It 'Will not only be a great card
for the governpient, but serve as, an ab
solute Insurance policy against "graft" In
any form.
Sprlns; Follows the Daughters.
Spring Is not looked upon as having ar
rived In Washington . until tho Daughters
of the American Revolution have come
and gone. The "Daughters" . were' here
this week and already . the. signs, of spring
are In the air.. The resident, set . of the
national capital do nothing in the way of
new clothes until after the "Daughters"
have set the pace. Their gowns and their
hats are looked upon as the proper
"mode." They come from all points of
the compass. Tho country's best milliners
and dressmakers are employed to "build"
hats and dresses for the descendants of
revolutionary sires and tho edifices they
construct are wonderful to. be hold. The
resident, and fashionable set of the na
tion's capital retire to their caves until
the "Daughters" get away und then they
blossom forth . In Imitation of their more
fortunate sisters.
A visit to ,a session of the "Daughters"
congress Is like a visit to a beauty show.
Oowna and women, women and gowns
everywhere. When the "Daughters" come
then truly Is spring in the saddle. It Is
estimated that the "Daughters" spend 25,-
000 a year on gowns and hats for their week
In Washington. Some of the leaders bring
three and four trunks. They put up at
the swell hotels and Join in the parade
through the lobbies and halls. They love
the admiration which Is showered upon
them and for seven days revel in the lime
light. Spring has come to the capital. The
"Daughters" once more have set the
pace.
