Alexander leaving Char- iotte, will not be iileasant news in ChaiiottP, but it is not only a possi bility but a probability. Since the death of Mrs. Alexander’s mother. Mrs. A.

Mrs. Alexander will have , -'11- g of the time with I liini so i*^ is more than probable that •otton'Seed Oil. • 'the’family will live there during Mr. Crude f ottoti seed ' Brown s lifetime. “In the Lnthorau Church days are observed for the cake of the W'ord of God given to thorn, not as if one day were iniiseU* more holy than another.'’ According to this principle the Luth eran Church obJ?erves the season of Lent. Not by any commandment or necessity. Some Lutheran churches do not have services during this sea son, because it is not convenient; they are not condemned for this. But when a Lutheran church has services during this season its mem bers regard such services as sacred as the Sunday services, because, as Chri-iians they do not “despise God’s Word and the preaching of the Gos- l.el." They v.ould not have a social gaihering or entertainment while those services are being held, not because of respect for a particular portion of time as sacred, but be cause to do so, Avould be desinsing Gods Word. The Lutheran Church has no rules as to food or drink or amusements during Lent, but would have Christians abstain then, as at other times, from everything that would injure the spiritual life or manifest direspect for the Word of God. And when Lutherans attend Lenten services or deny themselves, it is for “the Word's sake,” and for the sake of the spiritual life, and not with exj)ectation of meriting the favor of God. The following is the program of services during l>ent in St. Mark's church, and to them the public is cordially invited. On Friday evenings special program of seven Liturgical services for the Passion season, en titled: “.lesus, Holy Passion,” based upon n translation of Schoeberleins Die Heilige Passion,” by the Rev. A. T.. Yottnt, D. D., will be used. Wednesdays and Fridays in Lent. At S p. m.—Sermons by the pastor. “Studies in the Passion History.” Wedncsda.'-, March 1.—“.Jesus, the Scapegoat," Caiaphas’ Phophecy.

April 3, 4, r>, and 6, at 8 p. m.— Sermons by the Rev. Charles P. Mc Laughlin, of Concord. Firday, April 7.—“The Way to Cal vary.” Services every evening during Holy Week, except Saturday. Program to be announced later. The reugular Sunday services will be held as usual during Lent with sermons appropriate.

Washington, Feb. 2S.—A notable principle was laid dow-n today by the interstate commerce commission in a decision of the case of the railroad commissioners of Iowa against the Illinois Central Railroad and other carriers, lu brief the commission holds: "The net revenues of a carrier often have an undoubted and important bearing upon the question of the reas onableness of its rates, but the fact that they are greater than the returns on ordinary business enterprise is not sufficient in itself to justify a finding that the rates are excessive; the val ue of the service and other factors that enter into the construction of the rates also must be taken into consider- tion.” In the case the complaintant urged that a thirty-cent passenger fare over a bridge betv/een East Dubuque, III., and Dubuque, Iowa, was excessive and discriminatory.
