'Trutk above all, thinbs.’ Entered in the Post Office as a Newspaper FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1897 , A Correction. The very much esteemed Hartford Courant is informed that the article credited to its columns approving of the election of U. S. Senators by a pop- ular votc‘of the electors of the several states, was scissored from the \Vash- ington Post, which paper credited the paragraph at its top, to the Courant. If the GAZETTE has thus innocently misrepresented the position of the Courant on this interesting and much discussed subject, it is only too glad to make the amend honorable. ‘ r 4‘ ‘v A Prayer That Beats The Record. We notice that a certain adjutant of the Salvation army, a long-distance singing champion, beat the record by singing through a certain number of hymns in a certain number of minutes. He, however, is not in it with the Rev. David G. Bradford, chaplain of the Illi- nois House, who on Thursday opened the proceedings with a prayer that drew 'out loud applause from both Republi- cans and Democrats. Here is the prayer: “Almighty God, we seek thy presence and blessing at the beginning of an- other day’s diligent labor. Help us, we pray thee, in the discharge of this day’s duties. Help these men to remember the poor tax-burdened people of this great state. “Contractove pray thee, the capacious maw of the penal reformatory. charita- ble and educational institutic‘ms of Illi- nois. May they learn to be content with less money and may we. who re- fuse to worship a golden calf, refuse also to worship gold in any other form. Forbid that any foreigner visiting our shores shall ever again have occasion to write: ".«Ioney, money is all their cry: Money’s the total sum. Give us money or else we die; Oh, let the money come I “And we will ever give thee endless praise. Amen.” Similar incidents to this have not been uncommon in years gone by, re- marks the IVate‘rbul-y American. There. for example, was the prayer de- livered (as we recall it) by Bishop New- man at Charles Suinner’s funeral in the Senate when he forgot to mention to the Almighty the grief of the vice-pres- ident and amended his omission by sending out' “an insert” through the Associated Press so that the Almighty might be informed of his intention all night in the morning paper. There, also, was the Virginia clergyman who was noted for the picturesqueness of his prayers. His pastorate was in a little country place where newspapers were few and far between. He himself was a diligent newspaper reader, and he would begin his prayer somewhat after this fashion: "Oh, Lord, thou knowest how the staunch ship Virginia of the George \Vashington line, fan on- to the rocks off the coast of Nova Scotia in the thick fog and how 20 souls went down in her to their eternal doom, etc., etc.” This gentleman’s prayers were so graphic in the story telling interest oftheir detail that his services were always crowded, people coming from miles around to hear him pray. It could not have been in any such com- munity as that that the far western elitor lived who went to the state Cap- ital to report the Legislature and com- menced his first report with the state- ment: “The proceedings were opened with prayer, whatever that may be.” But we are ready to match all the prayers of recent history, whatever their uniqueness, profanity or sensa— tionalism, against this prayer of the Rev. David G. Bradford, chaplain of the Illinois House. The prayer gauge goes to him as a prize for introducing an innovation that. so far as we have known, has never been resorted to be- fore, that of dropping into poetry. His little version of “money :makes the mare go” as a feature of solemn prayer was a conception of his own and worthy of the source from which it proceeds. For our own part we have often won dered how the Deity must regard vul- garity and cheapness of prayer; not that which comes when the person praying is sincere and knows no better, but that which is perpetrated with malice aforethought for the purpose of exploitation. We doubt very much Whether such prayers are not counted- in the courts above as worse blasphemy than out-and-out swearing. WEEKLY EUEWAEK - cAzE'rer. FEMININE CHAT. Some of the very newest gowns have a very old—fashioned look about them. Jewelers say that the amethyst is gradually becoming one of the most popular stones for unique rings and scarf pins. People who can’t say disagreeable things often possess the faculty of writ- ing them. IVe never dream of the evil that is within us until circumstances develop it. The girl whose complexion zillows her to wear bright red becomingly feels that she is blessed indeed this summer. Just fall from your bicycle and see if it does not appear that people spring from the earth and fall from the trees. It seems as though some motormen take a fiendish delight making the car go through some unusual gyrations jus as a woman arises to go toward the door or starts for a proffered seat. Why is it the mung; dog that you wish to lose always finds his way back home, while the family pet can’t be left out on the porch for three minutes without disappearing from the face of the earth, as though an abyss had opened and swallowed him. Until one rides a wheel they have very little sympathy for the bicyclist, but when once the craze seizes you heart and soul go out to the individual on the fin de siecle steed. Until a man is absolutely master of the bicycle he had better not attempt to raise his hat to some fair acquaint- ance, or the impression he makes may not be altogether such an one as he had hoped it to be. ——————<o.o>——-——- Long Murder Suspect Held. The man who was arrested at Long Ridge by Sheriff Miller, on suspicion of connection with the murder of young Long in Greenwich on Sunday morn- ing last, was brought before the bor- ough court yesterday morning. No charge was preferred against him. and it was requested that permission be given to hold him pending further in- vestigation. Another hearing will be held Saturday morning. In court the man said his name was John Lane, and he claims to be able to prove an alibi. Sheriff Miller expresses himself as con- fident that he has the right man, and states that he will locate the mysteri- ous woman in the case to-day. TO RENT.
