The long statement elsned by John D, Rockefeller's attorney, 8, ©, T. Dodd, affectionately called = "Alphabetical Dodd," and printed in the morning papers was a plece of lubricated litera- ture which recetyed its proper mental mastication by every employee in the building, trom the dark men who guard the executive oMfces to the heads of departments, As the word of the mas- ter it was law. In answer to tho charges of the clergymen that tainted money should not do the work of God Mr. Dod, speaking for his chief, says in abstract: 1. If he who brings tis gift to the altar must come with clean hands, atill more should he who ministers at the altar and recelyes the gift be free from stain, There 18 lees excuse for those who tn the name of religion falsely accuse their fellow-men, ‘The accusation upon which was founded the objection to the ao- geptance of Mr. Rockefeller’s money for missionary purposes was that he mado his money dishonestly, Dr, Glad- den has no proof of this and has made no attempt specification other than that rebates are given to the Standard How to Play the Game of “‘Observation.”’ In your childhood daya dia you ever atiend an "Obsz-vation" party?

The engagement js announced of Mise Idlllan Kessell, of No, 159 Grand street, Williamsburg, to Mr. James Oolling- wood, a rising young lawyer from up- State. Miss Keasell {a an expert among tennis and euchre players and has a host of friends among them in Witl+ famsburg, and that ft controle two-thirds of the railroads in this country. Owns No Rallroad Stock, 2, That assertion ts not true. The Standard Ol! does not own a share of stock of any rajlroad company nor does {t control any railroad company. The question of railway rebates was in- veatigated by the United States Indus- tria] Commission in 1900, It was shown that prior to the enactment of the In- teratate Commerce Law tie rebate sys- tem was universal, Like all other ship- pers the Standard Ol] made the best terms with the railroads possible, Fur- thermore the public obtained the ad- vantage of the low rates received. 8. The Standard Ol! has obeyed the Interstate Commerce law concerning re- ‘wates in every particular. The evidence produced shows this. All allegations to the contrary were founded on sur- miee, Any candid man who gives an eye and an ear to truth knows thie, The contentions of the Standard O11 were oorrdborated by the certificates of man- agers and freight agenta, Should Be Charitable, 4, Howard Page, the freight agent of the Standard Oll, testified: That over the lines of railroad heavily patronized by Standard Oll no lower rates were alowed the company than by other rafl- roada to rivals at corresponding ship- ping ‘pointe; the BStendand O11 Com- pany'’e business stands on merits and none of these who may or may not have interests in these railroads has ever made @ rate of ar rangemente for Standard Ol! Company business, and that shipments of the Gtandard O!] Company have never boen influenced toward certain lines because the officers of the Standard Olt were re- puted to be large owner of the.etook of those lines, The business of the com- pany would suffer if this were the case and that must never be, 6. The religous publc should be more charitable in {te allegations when it ts thus proved that the Standard Of did nothing vicious or wrong.
