ol the Salvation Aruty.
Special New York Letter.
The dedication of the now national
headquarters of the Salvation Army,
which took place this week, was a
most Interesting event to those who
are concerned in the moral and relig
ious movements of the day. The cere
monies lasted the greater part of thi
Salvstlou Army Headquarters.
day and evening. There was an after
noon parade of over one thousand
members of the army under Capt. Dun
ham. All the high officials of the or
ganization in this vicinity, Including
Commander Balllngton Booth and
wife, and various visiting dignitaries,
took part In the parade. The services
held afterward In the new memorial
building were of a peculiarly Interest
ing character. The meeting was pre
ceded by a parade of "slum rescuers"
composed almost entirely of women
who devo.'e their lives to street work
In the lowest parts of the city.
The new building was erected at a
cost of 1150,000, on ground that cost
1200.000. It Is eight stories high, has
74 feet frontage, and is 127 feet deep.
It is of the feudal style. The first two
stories are built of limestone and the
remainder of light colored brick, with
terra cotta and limestone trimmings.
In the rear of tho first story la a lec
ture room, with a seating capacity for
500 persons. Above it, extending
from the second to the fifth stories, is
the main auditorium. This place will
seat comfortably 3,000 persons.
The building is Intended as a gen
eral headquarters for the Army In the
United States. No doubt its erection
will bo a srrat stimulus to the efforts
of the Salvationists. Its main pur
pose could not have been better de
scribed thnn In the simple words of
Mrs. r.ullhigtcn Booth: "This build
ing has been erectud for the wretched
and debased," she said. "God has
umiled on our work. Let us pledge
more to the poor."
One cannot but surmise that these
simple and rather uncouth Salvation
ists much mere nearly resemmble the
early Cluiftlnns In zeal and method of
work than the fashlonablo members of
modern churches do. They literally
carry the gospel to the most wretched
and debased, offering them food and
sympathy as well as good counsel.
There is no doubt that they rescujj
many from evil ways whom society
has utterly cast out. There was a
time when the work of the Salvation
Army was generally ridiculed, and
Gen. Bootii was lnokud upon as rather
a harmless fa'natlc. This Is not tho
case to-day. The organization re
ceives much financial support from
those who would be ashamed to be
openly Identified with it. The sus
picious regarding the sincerity of Its
leaders have died out. Taay stick too
closely to the work of carrying the
gospel to the very wretched and de
based to leave any doubt as to the mov
ing impulse of the organization. Try-
Gen. Booth.
ing to aid the fallen is not pleasant
work. The sights, sounds and sniella
wurl;. The sights, sound dun d smells
of the slums are not such as' to at
tract the selfish or dainty. It takes
a real sympathy for poor humanity,
and a, genuine religious Impulse, to.
movo anybody to do the work that
theso Solvation women do for, after
all, it is to the work of slmple-mlrid-od
and iioble Christian women that
the Salvation Army owes Its success.
Very few of the men connected with
It show either the zeal or the courage
that the women do. These women
have exhibited a pluck and enterprise
that Is Quite remarkable In its way.
In fact, men could not perform the
work the Salvation lassies cheerfully
undertake. They would be kicked out
of the places where the women safely
go and sell the "War Cry," and give
verbal notices of meetings, and their
lives would not be safe where the bliie
Salvation gown is quite as good a robe
of authority as the blue coat of a
policeman. After ail, the greatest
safeguard In this world Is a large
charity, and it is to be a broad and
generous charity to all creed and
classes that the Salvation Army owm
its worthy and bard-earned success.

Yes, the number of midnight lamps

deserted husband find himself privl'
lejfod to do ns he pleases, nud free from
that call so haraxxini; when be Is In
the middle of an excited story "John,
aren't you coming to tedV" that he
buys nnd borrows quantities of "all

mid a pluto of someriilug dry, and
proceeds to take bis summer read.
The summer Is tho only season in

up as a hopeless case and resolves to
wait until she lias gone for the sum

Then after be has taken the wholo

them all back again, after he has gone
back again to the ticket olllee to see
why their sections are not nil together
and then hail to run back in order to
get the checks to his wife ln-fore tho

bear-like hugs from the boys, he rushes
out, steps from the moving train with
tho air of a man who can do that sort
Of thing extremely well, and saunters
up the street lu a careless, objectless
sort of way. As there Is nothing to
hurry home for, he Amuses himself
with the windows nnd the people on
