Short AddrrM by "Father" Clnrlt Old Offlccrs lie-Elected. DETROIT. Mich.. July 5. The trustees cf the United Society of Christian Endeavor held their eighteenth annual meeting at the Hotel Cadillac this afternoon. It was the largest In attendance of any similar meeting during the existence of the society, seventy trustees being present. Invitations for the DDI convention were received frcm Denver and Cincinnati, but In accordance with a resolution adopted last year it was determined to defer action on this matter until tfter the London convention of 1000. Rev. Dr. II. J. Tressider. of London, the official representative of the British societies, was cordially welcomed by the board. Dr. Tressider Is here to study Detroit's methods of entertainment and collect Information which will be useful to the British societies In 1900. A delegation of three representing the Ministerial Union, of Toledo, appeared before the trustees asking the Christian Endeavcrers to do all In their power to develop sentiment against the opening of the gates cf the Ohio Centfnnlal on Sunday. The matter was referred to a special committee. Rev. Dr. Francis E. Clark, president. John Willis Baer. secretary, and William Shaw, treasurer, arrived at 10:30 o'clock thLs morning. At 11 o'clock Dr. Clark called to order the annual meeting of the United Society In the Hotel Cadillac. Dr. Clark addressed the members of the legal organization In part as follows: 'The past year of Christian Endeavor work has been a year of remarkable prosperity, a year signally marked by the favor of God. Christian Endeavor has now so largely occupied the field that the phenomenal growth recorded in the early years of the movement cannot be expected. Nevertheless the growth has been very considerable, and the accession of a hundred thousands to our ranks within the last twelve months is no small addition. "I recently made a Journey to the "West Indies which was full of encouragement and hope. I found In the Island of Jamaica very deep and intelligent interest In the movement. In Cuba. too. I found the beginnings of a Christian Endeavor and a very hopeful spirit and outlook for the future. In other lands Christian Endeavor seems to be ob taining constantly a firmer foothold. Our British felow-endeavorers are looking forward with great anticipation to next vear's exodus tA London. In Germany and France and Scandinavia the work has made very considerable advance. In Spain. In spite of the distraction of the war and the natural antipathy to t hirers American, the societies have all held their own and have even Increased In number. Russia, which a year ago was the only country without Christian Endeavor, has now been invaded by the movement and we hear of our society almost within the Czar's household. "Our efforts In behalf of universal peace and International arbitration have been a success, and it has received the approval of many of the greatest men of Europe and America, and has called forth on two or three occasions letters of approbation and gratitude from the American peace com missioners at The naugue. "The spirit of brotherhood, of national and interdenominational fellowship, of seek:ng aner iioa ana not the thlnrs that ner tain to office and station will. I believe. characterize this eighteenth annual convention, and I pray God that His spirit may I't-rtaue every xuiure garnering oi tnri5iian Endeavorers ami the whole movement In all its phases and forms of work the world over.

The Sad Sequel to Her Romantic Marriage with a, Scoundrel. Paris Dispatch. One day about two months ago a French officer and a correspondent stood Just outside the Palais de Justice, in which Colonel Picquart was having a hearing before the Court of Cassation. A rather tall lady dressed in black came up the great flight of stairs towards them. "Here she is again, p"bor woman," said the officer. "Who is the lady?" "Mme. la Comtesse Walsin-Esterhazy." The two men bowed low as the wife of the celebrated outlaw reached the landing. She cast a sorrowful glance at the uniform of the officer. It was the same uniform as her husband's, but here untarnished and clothing a man who had a right to stand erect among gentlemen. Ah. that look! All the despair or a human being to whom life can hereafter bring nothing but more bitterness was in the long glance with which the wife of the scoundrel enveloped the officer that had lived well. To her he was the vision of what might have been and was not. She passed on, and from his companion, who had once been In the same regiment with Esterhazy and had known the countess for years, the correspondent learned her story. "When Esterhazy returned from his service in the papal guards," paid the officer, "he was the ideal soldier of fortune bold to recklessness. Just brusque enough to be military, with a very winning, worldly ease of manner and speech. He was very dark, had - a conquerer's twist to his mustache and wore the uniform eplendldly. "His tine appearance, as well as his flippant, snappy cynicism, wrought havoc among young women and girls. Why, the rogue could have married any one of twenty. "He was a cool, scheming cuss, though; he chose a young woman whom, as he confessed and proved soon after, he loved less than another, but who brought him the money he craved for. "You saw her a while ago a shadow of what she was; still, you couldn't fall to see how beautiful she must have been. "I remember the Countess Esterhazy In the first period of her married life. She was a high strung creature, whose evident romantic nature had been caught by the dashing lieutenant's ways. When she found that she had been cheated she kept her sorrow from the world. "The first Insight she had Into the real character of the fellow must have come to her when, within three months of the wedding, if I remember well, he went from the countess to compromise hopelessly the foolish clrl whom he had boasted attracted hlta

more than h!s wife. This girl belonged to a good family, but. after her adventure with Esterhazy. she went from bad to worse and has now quite disappeared, the Lord knows where. . ' "Soon after this first flagrant breach of faith It became commonly known that most of the young countesses money was being dissipated by Esterhazy In desperate gambling and low orgies. "The young woman was suffering terribly. We could all see the change in her. The beautiful Illy we had known was drooping. Some of the officers of the same regiment even made boll to speak to Esterhazy about It sod in the number some chaps spoke their mind mighty plainly to him. But he laughed his devil?sh laugh and inquired whether wo were so Infatuated with his wife that we thought we had rights to protect her from her husband. "What the whole civilized world only found out a few months ago. namely, that Esterhazy was a spy. traitor, forger, liar, blackmailer, thief and general reprobate, his wife must have known ail along. "She knew, for Instance, after what violent, degrading scenes she had been made to sign away the last of her fortune, which she struggled to retain for the education of her children. "She must have known, too. how her husband had. embezzled the funds intrusted to him bv his cousin, Ferdinand Esterhazy. "Think of what this woman.' who gave herself to thl3 scamp with such beautiful illusions, must have suffered. "Her herb, the dashing lieutenant, to whom she had Intrusted her life, she surely despised as soon as she learned to know him. And yet she is now working day and night to save him. I Imagine that she is the sort'of woman who gives herself but once and never recalls the gift. Perhaps she loves him in spite of all his crimes. Perhaps she is sustained by the last illusion that she may win him back, save him. make of him a presentable father for those boys of theirs who are growing." This conversation took place two or three months ago. During the few-weeks that elapsed tho poor countess has suffered more than ever before, for in that time Esterhazy has confessed to enough crimes to reVolt all human conception of wickedness. Poor, poor woman! as the officer said that day. The divorce which has Just been granted hr shows that even her last dream of bringing back p. father to her children has been abandoned. The boys must ever after be ashamed of their name, for the history of France will register it with execration. SENSATIONAL CHARGES.

Hovr the K. C, P. & G. R. R. Is Alleged to Have Deen Robbed. KANSAS CITY, Mo.. July 5. Sensational charges against the former management of the Kansas City. Pittsburg & Gulf Railroad were made in the Federal Court here today. Soon after the railroad went Into the hands of receivers the Kansas City Suburban Belt Railway Compariy filed a claim for $122,000, claiming this amount for the use of its terminals by the Gulf road. The .Missouri, Kansas & Texas Trust Company also filed a claim for $22.5' for money claimed to have been advanced to the Gulf road. In answer filed to-day Receivers Fordyce and Withers not only ask that payment of these claims be refused, but charge that the corporations presenting them are only two of several that have been feeding on the Pittsburg & Gulf. The receivers state that the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Trust Company organized the Kansas City & Northern connecting railroad, the Omaha & St. Louis Railroad Company, the Omaha, Kansas City & Eastern Railway Company, the Central Improvement Company, the Belt Line Company and other companies, all of which were so officered that a-majority of the directors in one company was a majority of the directors of the others. These lines north of Kansas City, the receivers allege, were organized for the real purpose of enabling the trust company to float securities at a large profit to Itself. The directors who controlled these various companies controlled the Pittsburg & Gulf sufficient to pay all debts and salaries, but they charge that the officers of the trust company, being In control of the road, "caused its income to be diverted from time to time so as to use It for the benefit of the trust company and other allied companies." The receivers say: "The trust company does not come into court with clean hands and should not be permitted to recover on the accounts presented." PINGREE'S'TAX BOARD.

TORNADO IN NEBRASKA

HOUSES, BARN'S AND BRIDGES TORN INTO KINDLING W OOD. One Woman Crushed to Death Other reople Saved by TlmeVy Fllebt An Appeal for Aid. AINSWORTH. Neb. July 5.-A destructive tornado passed two miles to the north cf this city this afternoon, killing one woman and tearing houses, barns, fences and bridges Into kindling wood. The tornado seemed to form about fifteen miles northwest of AInsworth. The motion of the. funnel-shaped cloud was most distinct, and was witnessed by the entire population. It was first noticed about 4 o'clock and was headed In a direct line for this town, finally passing just north and breaking about three miles east. Its first destructive work was done on the farm of John Strohm, four miles northwest of AInsworth, demollsh5nsr everything In sight. Luckily, the family took to a cave and no one was injured. It struck the house of William Lockmlller, "a mile to the east. Mrs. Lockmlller had sought refuge In the cellar with three small children. Her oldest son not coming, and fearing he might be killed In the barn, where he was working, Mrs. Lockmlller started to call him just as the tornado reached them. As she arrived at the door tho house was moved from its foundation and she was crushed into a lifeless mass, her body being nearly severed In twain at the waist. The children, however, were un hurt, the tornado doing no further damage than moving the house a few feet, tearing off a portion of tho roof and hurling the portions a distance away. The farm of Rev. T. W. Delong, about two miles north of town, was next visited. Here the tornado remained almost station ary for a few moments, while Its tall swung around to the east of the house, striking the stable, corncribs and sheds and whirlng them In a confused mass over tbe prai rie to the north, leaving the house Intact. A moment later, however, It enveloped the house in a cloud, and when it cleared away not even the foundation was left standing. Rey. Delong and family, consisting of his wife and three children, had taken refuge n the cellar and were unhurt. A little later the storm reached a farm house belonging to George Brown, tenanted by Charles Trotter. Here It made so com plete a wreck of the house that not a ves tige of it remained. Fortunately Mr. Trotter and family left home for AInsworth a short time previous. James Strohm. a farmer living a few hundred yards away, seeing the storm approaching, with his family took refuge in Mr. Trotter s cave, and, tnougn within a few feet of the demolished house, were uninjured. The last place visited was an untenanted house belonging to W. H. Hurring. of AInsworth. a mile further on. The wreck was complete here. At this point the tornado dissolved into a black cioua: Crops were destroyed and much stock killed In the path ot the storrq. STANDARD OIL TRUST TRICKS. How the Great .Monopoly Throttles Any Competitive Company. New York Journal. This is regarded as the most Important statement made by M. L. Lockwood before the Industrial commission, it preceded nis remarks about Judge Haight: "What is the process by which the Standard Oil Company people destroy competing pipe lines?" To which Mr. Lockwood replied: "For the last fifteen years they have adopted a system of paying a permium on the oil that is accessible to the competitive pipe lines. That is. when a new pine line starts the Standard Oil people at once discover that the oil in that district is especially valuable, and they offer a premium for that oil, say of 20 or 25 cents a barrel. When they have destroyed this competitive pipe line this oil ceases to be valuable, and they take the premium off. "Let me give you an Illustration. In 1SS7 the Craig. Elkins & Kimble outfit built the Western and Atlantic pipe line. They made their first shipment of oil on Oct. 11, 1SS7. At that time the Standard Oil Company people were paying for crude oil at the wells 69 cents a barrel. "The Western and Atlantic pipe line did not get fairly going until the spring of 1SSS. By that time the exchange market for crude oil under this growing competition was 88 cents per barrel, and the white sand oil of Butler. Allegheny and Washington counties. Into which counties the Craig pipe line had been built, had become so good that the Standard was paying for that oil 20 and 25 cents per barrel premium, which, added to the 88 cents, gave the producers of those counties $1.08 and $1.13 a barrel for their oil at the wells. Refined oil was selling In August of that year for 7 cents a gallon, including the barrels, in New York city. In November, 18S, the Standard Oil Company was paying us for oil at the wells In this county $1.30 a barrel, and refined oil was selling in New York city, including barrels, for 714 cents a gallon. Competition was put ting crude oil up to the producers, and com petition was putting renned oil down to the consumers. "I have a very vivid remembrance of this time. I was opening up some territory on the Little Conoquenessing creek In the western part or Butler county, Pennsylvania, in what was known as the Hundred Foot Rock. I had leased the Cable farm, the Charley Young, Ed Young, Eyeholtz and Hayes farms. 1 was getting some mag nificent wells. One on the Eyeholtz farm started on at lZo barrels an hour. I had one well on the Charley Young farm that aver aged 1.000 barrels a day for a long time. Competition was giving me all this oil was worth, from $1.10 to $1.30 a barrel, and I was getting rich. About this time it became evident that there was a hundred-foot oil belt extending from the western part of Butler county down into the eastern part of Beaver county. Pennsylvania. "I worked night and day; never stopped for anything until I became interested in about three miles of this oil belt. Starting on the southwest, I got the Fogle farm, the Kaneff, the Shrumm, the Ttautman, the Allen, the Passavant, the Koker, the Fankpr thA Mrrlirdv thA F?VAhnlt tho Hitmgn the Elchenower and the Mover farms, i was Interested in two and a half miles of this oil belt had it all. I thought I would make a million. I cot some grand wells: one on the Trautman farm started off 1,200 barrels a day. "About this time the Standard Oil Company gave the Elkins and Kimble crowd their price and bought their pipe lines and refineries, and the very next day the premium came off from that oil. It was not any better than any other oil. As soon as there was no competing olDe line its sunerinr qualities were gone, and from that day competition was gone. The price of oil came down, down, down to $1.05. down to $1, down to 95 cents, down to SO cents, down to 85 cents, down to SO cents, down to 75 cents, aown to 4u cents, down to 65 cents, down to 60 cents, down to 55 cents, down to w cents, ana tney Kept tne market down be low CO cents for one whole long year. i aia not sen a Darrei or on all one year above 60 cents a barrel. The next year I was obliged to sell all my oil below 70 cents a barrel. They held the market down to the fifties and sixties for two long years, below the cost of production, and nractical. ly confiscated all of that magnificent prop erty, ana msieaa oi navmg a million I absolutely had to mortgage my property to pay my debts, and at the end of two years these wells had got down until thev wer little strippers, producing three or four or five barrels apiece. All of the value of thai great property naa gone into tne comers of the Standard Oil Company. "This is the history of the oil business under Standard manipulation, over and over and over again. When the producers are lucky enough to open up a new field the Standard will put the price down and confiscate what they get. "Of course, the Standard Oil Company's newspapers will be full of cock and bull stories aDout increase or production, in crease of stocks, but the facts are that dur ing these years which I have decrlhed. when the price of crude oil was pulled down from $1.3) a barrel to 53 cents a barrel the entire Increase of the stocks of oil dur ing tnat period would not supply the consumptive demand of the world for two and one-half months. "All of this talk about production and stocks is a mere subterfuge to take from me proaucers tne weaiin tney create and transfer it to the coffers of the Standard Mr. Rich Must Go to Mexico. EL PASO.

For nearly 150 years art lovers and artists from all parts of the earth have journeyed to Dresden to see the Sistlne Madonna. It has come to be recogrlied as the most celebrated painting in existence. Before It learned and unlearned, lay and professional, ?tand silent with bared heads and worship. This painting was brought to Dresden In 1753 by King August the Strong of Saxony, who found it In a cloister chapel at Placcnza. It did not occur to King August to doubt that he was purchasing the original altar picture painted by Raphael for the nephew of Pope Slxtus IV. This doubt Is raised by an art historian at Dresden, who does not scruple to rob the world of one of Its most prized treasures. Dr. Ludwlg Jellnek has just published a brochure in which he declares not only that the Sistlne Madonna Is a counterfeit, but says it is a poor and probably unfinished copv by an unknown bungler. What have the critics done with their eyes, he asks, that they have failed to observe that the Dresden Madonna squints with the left eye, that oneof the angels lacked a wing until a kind-hearted restorer supplied the deficiency a few years ago. and that the draperies of the saints are as stiff as lead? , But the painting was found at the altar, where it had always hung. Dr. Jeniiek answers that the original altar did not exist in 1753. There Is to-day a supposed copy of the picture In the same church which is In some rerpects different from the Dresden Madonna, and another copy Is In Rome. Which is the original, or are all copies of the no longer existing original? The Piacenza Madonna has a lunette above the figures in which two angels are shown holding a crown. Dr. Jeniiek thinks it less likely that a copyist would add to rather than omit a portion of a master's work. That is for him and the critics to decide. But supposing the original painting did have the additional features of the "copy" now in the Italian church, what did It represent? The Dresden picture always has been accepted o tho onnthpnsle nf maternal love, the deifi

cation of the purest and holiest feeling known to humanity. Not at all, says Dr. Jelinek. The picture was painted to order. Cardinal Riaro. the grandnephew of Pope Slxtus, furnishing the theme. It was decrrfA tn frlnHfv th establishment bv Pope Sixtus of the theological dogma of the Im maculate conception, it tne cnuo is nsi enma n-fii h inclined tn relolce that the copyist rerponsible for the Dresden Madonna managed to discover a human motive. But might not the matter nave a ainerent explanation? TVia artleta an1 hlctnrlar. will haVft tO answer it. It would not be the first celebrated "old master" at Dresden that has proved to be a mere copy. The Holbein Madonna has been shown in recent years to be a rather late copy of the original at Darmstadt. HOUSEKEEPING ON STEA3ISIIIP.

Antomoblle Companies Organised with 9200,000,000 Capital. Minneapolis Tribune. A dispatch from Buffalo says that the exnerlment of using an automobile for collArHn' mall was made in that city a few days ago. Mail from forty boxes In a territory six miles in length was collected In half the time required to cover the same ground with a horse and wagon, it is said that the experiment will be continued, and if it proves to be a success a number of automobiles will be placed in commission in the service of the postoffice in that and other cities. The official adoption of the automobile by the Postomce Department would De a great trlumnh for the horseless vehicle. Buffalo. as we understand, has a large mileage of asphalt pavement, which, of course, facilitates the use of the "auto." Washington has even a larger proportion of ' asphalt paved streets. Minneapolis is getting to be an asphalt-streeted city, and our unpaved boulevards, streets ana roaas leaamg to tne country are usually in excellent condition for traversing by the big rubber-tired wheels. The autos could be used here with as much advantage as In Buffalo. The hold which the horseless carriage idea has taken on the public mind is shown by the organization of companies to manufacture the vehicles.
