There are millions and millions of idle dollars in the vaults of the San Francisco banks looking for a place where six seven eight or ten per cent can be earned But the owners of the dollars are not that's why Million-a-Minute MacConnell is compelled to search the adjacent states for purchasers of his millions of 'Watered Stock' These seem to he unkind remarks and whether they are deserved or not we are not in a position to state It evident however that the Inside Inn will not be constructed for the express purpose of "preventing the exposition guest from being robbed by as the inn is out of the it to A uditorium TWO NIGHTS Wednesday and Thursday ITB 11 and 12- VV Martin presents The Sensation of the Century THE more or less reverened Brother Aked has stirred up tire dry bones by declaring that while for 20 years an occupant of orthodox pulpits and the cheerful acceptor of the dignities and benefits thereunto attached he has not personally believed the dogma of the miraculous birth of Jesus There is wrathful protest and the more-or-less reverend brother has been asked to step down and out from certain dignities bestowed In respect of his presumed orthodoxy An amusing element in the situation is that probably no one of the clerical gentlemen who have demanded his resignation accept the above named dogma any more that Dr Aked In his heart every brother of them all re gards the story as a pious fake invented by priests and cherished by tradition to the end of sustaining churchly discipline Of course this fact does not justify Mr Aked who in his relations to the church affiliations to which he has been connected stands very much in the same case as Governor Johnson who accepted the governorship at the hands of the republican party only to betray that party Mr Aked undoubtedly has the right to believe what he chooses but he ought not to have waited twenty years to declare the limitations of his faith But what eve opinion we may have about Mr Aked's honesty we must pay to him a tribute of admiration for bis exceptional powers as an advertiser He has an instinct for publicity which would have made him an even more valuable aid in the publishing department of the Heart newspaper trust than he has proven to ire as an edftorial contributor Mr Aked's gifts have indeed served him as a pulpiteer but they might have wrought sn ever greater success if he had applied them to the circus business WH AT BID HE MEAN I Does that California minister who says that more men sin at forty than at twenty mean to imply that a lot of chaps when they reach that age have convinced themselves that they ought to get some fun out of life?
