When one reads tin record of recent dividends declared by this or. -at concern it is not difficult lo understand whj the market .ii m of the stock ha increased so rapidly.

In 1891, 1999, 1999, 1994 and 1895, the Standard Oil company paid dividend- a itins for each year to 111 on each si re of stock, in 1999 the dividends amounted to $:1 per -hare; in 1907 they w io 39 per share; in the mouth of .January.

Plow that t he Hanna ship subsidy : hill has npnin been laid aside by a dcine senate Note of 41 to with a prospt-et of incmased oppo-ition to I its pas-are during the life of the pre--ent oongress, it ma, safely be aaaert ed that no popular regret will ariaa. There is. as a matter of course, a deep chagrin on the part of Mark! Hanna and the monopoly syndicate behind this subsidy e;r;il. This is a.s natural as has been 1 1 anna's repeated loss of temper during the debate on the measure. The administration is pledged to the pa--age of the shi Subsidy bill, and it enrages Hanna that he ir prevented from paying the adaninlst ration's campaign debts. The American people, howcter, are not in favor of this payment. Th money would nec--aril come out of In ir pockets some 910.noo.no in alf it would a-tly itirieh the subsidy) ayndicate, but it would do the people no good whatever. They cannot sec whv thev should be thus coloaaallv tnxed because certain multimillionaires put up the money which reelect ed Mr. McKinley to the presidency.
iewed from the standpoint of the taxpayers of the United States, the present situation of the ship subsidy bill is gratifying. It will be materially Improved if the present eongraa now in session shall adjourn sine die With the bill still awaiting action. It

He w,:s the high priest, according to the Jewi.ili law gad nsafW, Then there was the form of a trial before Caiaphas and the Banhedrim. Calaphaa was the sondndan of Annas, and had bean appointed to the position at hkyh priest by the Roman authorities. It wa during the progress of this trial that Peter denied his Ixnl thr. e times. The scripture section to he studied is contained In the following passages; Matt ttJMl Mark I. uke H ;.1-C J ihr. tf :18-I7. Jesus Before the Sanhedrim While
ieana ras before Annas the Banne drim. the highest Jewish council, wns hastily summoned In extraordinary session. The object of the hasty meetlrc was to condemn Jesus and have Him crucified before His friends could rally to His support. The means taken to seeUre the verdict wished for were extraordinary. False Witnesses were secured, but it is hard for liars to be consistent, and no two of them presented the same testimony. There must le two witnesses ; sub-tantiate any eharge. Finally two came, and their testimony sei med to agree. Hut this testimony was false. Jesus did not sey: ! am able to daotroy the temp:.- of God, and to build it in three days." Jesus said (John 2:19): "Destroy this temple, and in thre- dayi I will raise it up." The Sanhedrim rrmld hai inm.
moned many and many a true witSOga, who knew Jesus and His work- nnd teaehtng. Lame men who had been made to walk, blind who had Ixcn trivrn sttrht. lejiers and other iek who had been restored to health ami Strength. These would have formed nn
imposing array all in favor of the claims of .Te-ns. Bat the Sanhedrim ! was not after truth, but after s eon- 1 viction. Prof, Oreenleaf, in h's ' "Trial of Jesus. " snvs: "Thrnuirhont the whole course of the trial the rnlrs ' nf the Jewish law of procedure were I fVOasly violated, and the accused vvtis deprived of rights belonging even to j the meanest citizen. He was arrested I In the nig-ht, bound as a malefactor, beaten before Hi- arraignment and 1
struck in open COBli during- the trial. He wai tried on a feast day and before sunrise. FJg man compelled to criminate Himself, nnd this under nn oath of Solemn judicial adjuration: and He was tenteneed on the same day of the conviction." Mark (14:.',s) Ivcs g different version of the testimony finally admitted Bgalnat Jesus. From this it seems that finally the Sanhedrim had to admit testimony of two witnesses, which did not fatly accord. To remove any doubt. Caiapbas finally turned to T. mis and on Bis declaration that Tie was the Christ, the Son of Qod, I used. the charge of blasphemy, and accordingly the sentence of death vva voted. Then occurred a -cene more remark nbl than .ni that went hefore. if that be possible, The dip-nifled councilors who had just pone through the form of a trial blindfolded Jesu, and In mockery Of the claim He had jn-t made -truck Him and after each blow Raked Him to tell who pave it "Prophecy unto us," they snid, "thou ("hrNt. who is He that smote the.

WONDERFUL CURE OF PSORIASIS. AS sufferer for thirty years from the worst form of Psoriasis, finally cured by Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, I wish to tell you my experience, that others may benefit by it. I was so grievously afflicted that the matter that exuded from my pores after the scales had peeled off, would cause my underclothing to actually gum to my body. After remaining; in one position, sitting- or lying down, for an hour or two, the flesh on my elbows and knees would split, so thick and hard would the crusty scales become. The humiliation I experienced, to say nothing- of physical agony, was something frightful. The detached scales would fairly rain from my coat sleeves. I have read none of your testimonials that appear to represent a case so bad as mine. But ats to the cure. I commenced bathing- in hot Cuticura Soap suds night and morning, applied the Cuticura Ointment, and then wrapped myself in a sheet. In two weeks my skin was almost blooo red in color, but smooth and without scales. Patches of natural colored skin began to appear, and in less than a month I was cured. I am now passed forty years of atre and have skin as soft and smooth as a baby's. Hoping that others may benefit by my experience, and regretting that sensitiveness forbids me from disclosing my name, I am yours gratefully, J.H.R1, Boston, Masiu, Sept. 30, 1900.
