Players' Team Will he With

SKILLFUL PLATERS TO KETURN.
Ha Advises the Local League Team to Sign

Want Too High a Salarj.

Hasn't Been Fairly Treated.
It has often been said that Captain Anson
is the greatest ball player and captain in the
country. It has also been a matter of rec
ord that this great man was a bluff man to
talk to; that he could not be approached by
common mortals without a go-between.
However true this may have been hereto
fore, this Tear he has been greatly thawed
out, and it is not a difficult task to get him
to talk on the all-absorbing question the
Brotherhood movement. Every time he
stops in the city he has something new to
tell, and it requires no especial effort to get
him to give it to the public Last evening
the big man sat in the corridor of the Hotel
'Anderson with bis crowd of players around
him, very much reminding one of a hen
with her brood of chicks, keeping an eye out
that none go astray. Asked about the ru
mor that Ewing would return to the New
1"ork National League team next season,
Mr. Anson said:
EWIKO -WILL KETUBN.
"Of course he will, and the whole team
will be with him; that is, as many of them
as Mr. Day can find room for. All the
good men of the Brotherhood will he taken
back, but the poor ones will be left out. I
don't believe the story that a certain Pitts
burg player has asked to be taken into the
League team again, for if be did they'd
take him in a minute. I know if one of
my old players wanted to come back I'd
take him if I conld find room for him in my
team. All it requires is for one break and
others will folio. Plenty of them would
like to come back bnt don't like to start the
jump. I'd like to see just one jump to test
the validitv of their contracts. I doD't
think they'd hold, and if this were proven
there's plenty of the boys that would take
advantage of it to leave the Brotherhood.
"WOULD SIGK MOELIS.
"If I were in the place of the Pittsburg
(N. L.) team I'd sign Morris; that is, if he
is pitching good ball and can be had at a
reasonable figure. Of course, I wouldn't
put on any fancy price at this stage of
the game."
"Do you think the Brotherhood will live
through the season?" was asked.
"1 think thev will. At least they'll try
to, and spend the winter trying to effect
a compromise. The players themselves
. needn't worry, as there's no ooubt but that
the skillful ones can find room in the
League, but the moneyed men will be the
ones who would like to compromise in order
to get their money out of it. "We had
thought of refusing to accept every man
who deserted us, but have at last decided
that they were misguided and now they can
return whenever they like. Of course, we
won't take all of them, but only such as
w,Ul be an improvement on our present
.material."
GAIVTK IS SORE.
"Have you seen Jimmy Gaivin?" was the
next question.
"5Tes; I saw him last night. He's pretty
sore. Says tbey haven't been using biin
right. He savs he has been getting his sal
ary regular, but in other ways his treatment
has been unfair. The fact is, I believe that
every player in the country is getting his
money, or they'd commence to jump back
where they would be sure of it. I don't
think the players will lose so much as the
stockholders. But I don't believe the sal
aries will be as hizh. I know the Chicago
club will be a little careful about how much
they pay next season.
"Now, let us suppose that the Players'
League attempts to go on next season. Sal
aries will certainly not be as high in the
National League. For instance, the Pitts
burg club would go to their players and say
that unless the salaries were reduced they
would be unable to compete with the Broth
hood. The players would certainly consent
to a reduction, wouldn't they? Can the
Brotherhoodoutlive this?"

house a few miles from this city between Joe
Hogan. of Pittsburg, and Jim Dougherty, of
Chicago, lightweights. In the first round
Dougherty showed signs of weakening and tell
easily. He arose in response to the howls of
his backers, only to be aialn knocked off bis
feet. His nose bled profusely.
In the second ronnd he dodged Hogan's
blows, struck out wildly and without effect,
and was soon forced to the ropes. He then
grappled with his antagonist in a blind attempt
to avoid punishment. Hogan threw him to the
floor on his face. Dougherty blubbered like a
child and made a weak attempt to stand, bnt
was again knocked down. He was unable to
rise, and the referee called the fight and
awarded It to Hogan.

Fbavklin, August 10. Last evening a
young man employed by A. G. Harper, in
exploding torpedoes in oil wells, met with
an experience that he is not likely to soon
forget He had torpedoed a well in the Gallo
way district, and, as is usual, took the can
that had contained the glycerine, into the
woods back of the Galena Oil "Works, for
the purpose of exploding the small amount
of fluid that had been left in it. He built
a Are, and placed the can on it, and in a
few minutes tbe can exploded with terrific
force. Hardly had tbe sound of the explo
sion died away before the young man was
alarmed by a hissing sound coming from tho
fire, or rather, where the fire had been. He
went to Investigate, and found that he had
wakened up a den of rattlesnakes, fully a
hundred in number, and of all sizes. The first
thing he knew he was surrounded by the
reptiles.
The snakes, which aro all blind at this sea
son, as tbey are shedding their skins, flew
abont like lightning, hissing furiously, and
shaking their rattles and sinking their tangs
into tbe shrubbery and each other, and in fact
into anything they ran against. A large num
ber ot them had been killed by the explosion,
one of them having ten rattles. The man
hastily fled, and afterward returned with a
number of citizens, out only a few of the
snakes were found, and these were promptly
killed. The stench arising from the dead was
something awful, and could not bo endured by
any one for any length of time. There is no
donbt of the truth of the story, as the young
man is very reliable and temperate, and besides
they brought a number of snakes to show about
the town.

escape from being lynched, and is now back in
West Virginia. After killing Irons, Bairsden
fled to West Virginia, where he found another

IfirECIAL TELEOnAM TO TUB DISPATCH.
Chicago, August 10. Ed Corrigan's
sensational attempt to close the downtown
pool rooms and thereby confine that species
of gambling to his Wests'ide race track,
may have some permanent results after all.
His persistent raids on the downtown gam
blers has called pnblic attention in the most
forcible manner to the fact that public gam
bling exists, notwithstanding official state
ments to the contrary, aud his audacious
charge that the Mayor of the second city on
the continent was sharing in the profits of
the houses as a price of protecting them, has
had the effect of fastening the responsibility
on the Mayor, as it has never been fastened
on any Mayor before. Hi&Honor evidently
leeisvery unoomiortaDie.
Asa means of escape from tbe trying sit
uation in which he found himself placed,
Mayor Cregier called a sort of council of
war of leading citizens, including several

day, and laying tbe whole case before them,
and protesting his honesty of purpose and
his desire to execute the laws, asked for
their opinion as to what ought to be done.
He said that he had selected for Chief of
Police an officer of the regular army in the
hope of securing perfect, discipline and the
highest efficiency, and that he had given to
him positive orders to enforce tbe law
against gambling. Reports had been made
to him from time to time that gambling had
been suppressed, and yet there were indica
tions on every hand that it was not sup
pressed and that it was in existence and as
virulent as ever.
The Chief of Police, too, was there. In
reply to questions Captain Marsh said that
he had issued orders to his subordinates to
close all public gambling resorts, and he
nau Deen informed that those orders had
been carried out, but in some cases he had
found that he bad been deceived. A few
of those cases, he said, he had investigated,
but when asked what punishment he had
given the offenders, he was silent That
seemed to fasten the ugly responsibility on
the shoulders of the Chief, and it was his
turn to feel uncomfortable under the bur
den. To-day Captain Marsh unbosomed
himself and made a frank statement of the
rock bottom facts to a newspaper man. He
declared that the Chief of Police of Chicago
is a chief only in name. Politics has got
into it, and it is run by tbe man with a
"pull" to such an extent that it
is really controlled by irresponsible out
side parties with local political influence.
The Chief declared that he could do little
to improve it, as long as the present system
is in operation. His entire time during
office hours, he says, is taken up with dele
cations calling upon him for the appoint
ment of this man, or the reinstatement of
that, and the only time he could devote to
his duties proper is during the hours when
he should be sleeping. As long as tbe force
was in politics he should not be held re
sponsible for it. "But," he said, "take
politics out ot the force and I can make it
efficient. As it is now politics kills discip
line and efficiency, and causes the demoral
ization which we all know exists. The
remedy for all this lies in the appointment
of men not because of political influence,
but because of competency. There should
be an examining board to examine appli
cants, and recommend appointments and
reinstatements at tbe discretion of the Chief.
Police appointments are not what they
should be, and they never will be any better
until we remove politics from the force.
"I have had orders," continued the
Chief, "and still have orders to suppress
public gambling. I believe that has not
been done as thoroughly as it might have
been. I shall see to it now that such orders
are carried out to the bitter end and if I am
interfered with in the performance of my
duty hereafter I am through with the office
of Chief of Police."
"What will be your first move?"
"We shall pull every gambling house we
find open.
Mayor Cregier, having been informed by
his law department that the use of private
detective agencies by private individuals
for making arrests is illegal, proposes to
put a stop to that method of warfare be
tween opposing factions of the gambling
fraternity. It is also current rumor that be
is about to revoke Ed Corrigan's saloon
license at the race track, and, under the ad
vice of his offical attorneys, to break up
pool selling there, too. If this programme
is fully carried out during tbe coming week,
the enterprising Mr. Corngan mayrealize
that he has bitten off more than he can chew
in trying to work up a corner on the pool
selling market.

The above was last night handed to Mr.
Allis, who is President of the First National
Bank and President of the street railway
company, by w. A. Perry, a well-known
attorney of Memphis. Several days since,
a local newspaper published considerable
correspondence of a decidedly personal
nature, which had its origin in a local
paper. Allis accused Colonel Jones of
being a trickster. Jones came back
at him with a batch of letters on the
subject aud one from Captain Coffee
corroborating his (Jones) side of the story.
Mr. Allis tben distributed a dodger through
out the city, replying to Judge Jones in
which this language was used: "So far as
Colonel Coffee is concerned, I admit that it
is in keeping with his condnct throughout
They (Jones and Coffee) belong together
by nature."
This roused Captain Coffee's ire, which
found its outlet in his letter to Allis, which
the latter read in the presence of Perry and
stated that he declined to answer it. Thus
the matter stands.

AN IMPORTANT LINE
In the Chain of Railroads Uniting
Pittsburg and Chicago'
TO BESOLD AT AUCTION T0-M0RR0
Local Capitalists Said to be After tbe Chi-
cago and Atlantic
TO ADD IT TO TAB P. & W. LINE
tSPECIAL TELEOI1AM TO TUB DISPATCH. 1
Chicago, August 10. If the Pittsburg
ers who are understood to be after the Chi
cago and Atlantic Bailroad at the receiver's
sale on Tuesday succeed in getting it, tbe
Pittsburg and Western may suddenly blos
som out as a through line from Pittsburg to
this city aud wage the liveliest kind of a
war with the Pittsburg and Lake Erie and
the Pennsylvania Company's lines for the
vast freight traffic which originates at Pitts
burg and is destined for Western points. "
But little can be ascertained as to who
constitutes the "Pittsburg syndicate," as it
is called, but Andrew Carnegie is said to
be at tbe head of it, and with him are said
to be associated men who are not greatly
his inferior in point flf wealth and enter
prise. The character and history of the
Chicago and Atlantic are well known in
the West, but perhaps not in Pittsburg and
vicinity, because the road has compara
tively little to do with that point.
The Chicago and Atlantic extends from
Marion, O., Abont 73 miles south and a
little east of Toledo, to Hammond, Ind.,
which is jnst 20 miles distant from the
business center of Chicago. It is 268.5 miles
long, and, at Hammond, it connects with
tbe Chicago and Western Indiana Bailroad,
over whose track its cars reach this city, at
a cost to the Chicago and Atlantic, on rent
paid to the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, of
514,216 67 per month.
MADE VI? OF SMALIi ROADS.
The Chicago and Atlantic has always
been regarded as a ne'er-do-well in railroad
circles. It had its origin in an amalgama
tion about 19 years ago of a number of
small railroads with high-sounding names,
but not much else the Chicago, Continental
and Baltimore, the Chicago and Atlantic
Extension, the Baltimore, Pittsburg and
Continental were some of them. Its track
laying was not completed until 1882, and
since that time its existence has been a pro
longed groaning and gasping for breath. It
was built originally to enable the Sew
York, Lake Erie and Western to gain an
entry into Chicago, and to the Erie it has
always turned for relief. In 1883 the "Erie"
advanced money to keep it going, and in
return took part of an issue $5,000,000 of 40
year gold bonds.but in the following year the
Chicago and Atlantic made defaault in tbe
interest payment, and in 1886 foreclosure
proceedings were begun.
Since that time various schemes have
been suggested to lift it out of the rut, but
none has been more than temporarily suc
cessful, and on Tuesday, August 12, at In
dianapolis, it is to be knocked down to the
highest bidder. Notwithstanding its bad
financial record in the past there is no lack of
people who would like to get it, and the indi
cations are that many of the bids will exceed
its actual value. The bond holders bave
appointed a purchasing committee, and au
thorized it to bid $13,000,000, but not a cent
more for the property at least such is the
talk. They propose to buy it and lease it
for a long term of years to the New York,
Lake Erie and Western.
"WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE.
The Norfolk and Western, operating a
line 408 miles long from Norfolk, Va., to
Bristol, Tenn., would like to get it, and by
means of the Scioto Valley road, in which
it has an interest, and a short piece of new
road to be built, establish a through line
from Chicago to the seaboard through the
New South, and open up a Western market
for Virginia coke. Then there is said to be
a syndicate, headed by Calvin S. Brice,
which would like to obtain possession of the
road for the purpose of compelling some
other road to buy them ont. ADd last, but not
least, the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Bailroad is in the field. This great and
prosperous corporation owns a line of rail
road running from New York to Buffalo,
and there connecting with Chicago by a line
of boats, but the boats cannot run in winter,
and the traffic arrangements which the
Lackawanna people have been able to make
with Chicago lines have not always been
satisfactory. It it should purchase the Chi
cago and Atlantic it could cover the dis
tance between Buffalo and Marion, O., tbe
eastern terminus of that line, by building
300 miles of new road, and then it would
have a through line of its own, and a vastly
greater field of operations. The Delaware and
Lackawanna people could easily put in the
requisite money, but if they should buy the
ro.td and take it away from the bondholders
who nropose to operate it in the interest of
the New York, Lake Erie and Western, it'
is oelieved tbey would at once nave a hght
on their hands with the Erie which could
not but result injuriously to Eastern rail
road interests, so that after all the Pitts
burgers stand about as good a show of get
ting tbe road as anybody, their only serious
competitor being tbe bondholders' com
mittee. A KEWSPAPEB FAIRY ST0EY.
Rumors of a Syndicate Delng Formed to
Boom Grover Cleveland.
tSPECIAITELKOBAM TO THE DISPATCn.l
Ch icago. August 10. The unexpected
return of Melville E. Stone from Europe
the other day is directly responsible for a
well-founded rumor that he has
placed himself at the head of a syndi
cate, which has in view the publica
tion of a penny morning newspaper in
seven of the largest cities of the United
States. Mr. Stone was the founder of a
successful penny paper in Chicago, and until
he retired, about a year ago, was its active
editor. Mr. Stone is an ardent admirer
of Grover Cleveland. While he was at the
head of a Chicago newspaper he was one of
Cleveland's stanchest supporters. He still
believes in Cleveland. s
The story is that he has found some men
to share his views, and that these men have
practically banded themselves together and'
lormea 3 uieveiana party. They have re
solved to organize a Cleveland newspaper
syndicate. It is claimed that tbe promoters
of the enterprise have agreed to subscribe
52,000,000 toward making it a success.

LINCOLN'S SCHOOL DAYS.
A Closo Student In School Hours and a
'Hard Worker In tho Evonlns.
Harper's Yonng People.l
Little Abe was first sent to school when he
was about 7 years of age. His father had
never received any "book learnin'," as edu
cation was termed among such people, and
it was with difficulty that he could write his
own name. One day, about fourweeks after
Abe had been sent to school, his father asked
the teacher: "How's Abe getting along?"
The teacher replied that he was doing well,
he wouldn't ask to have a better boy. He
had only one book.au old spelling-book.
During the school hours he was attentive to
his task, and at night he would study over
the lesson he had been engaged upon during
the day; tbe highest ambition of his life at
this time was to learn to read. He believed
that if he could only read as well as his
mother, who read the Bible aloud to the
family every day, tbe whole world of knowl
edge would be opened to him, and in this
conjecture he was about right. As the old
Baptist minister told him one day: "When
you can read, you've got something that
nobody can get away from you."
In the Kentucky home there were but
three books in the family the Bible, a cat
echism, and the spelling book which Abe
Lincoln studied. He had not been long in
Indiana before he had read the "Pilgrim's
Arrogress, bis father borrowing it from a
friend who lived 20 miles away. He was
very fond ot reading "iEsop's Fables," a
copy of which came in his way. A young
man taught him to write. As writing paper
of any kind was very scarce and expensive,
Abe used to practice his writing exercises
with bi(s of chalk or a burut stick ou slabs
and trunks of trees. Sometimes he would
trace out his name with a sharp stick on the
bare ground. When, finally, he was able
to write letters, he was called to do the cor
respondence of many of his neighbors, for
very few grown persons in that region could
write even a simple letter.
As Abe Lincoln grew older he became a
great reader, and read all the books he
conld borrow. Once he borrowed of his
school teacher a "Life of "Washington."
His mother happened to put it on a certain
shelf, and, the rain coming through the
rOOf. the book Was harllv ilannir Aha
took it back to the schoolmaster, and ar-
ranged to purchase it of him, paying lor it
by three days' hard work in the cornfield;
and he was entirely satisfied with the bar
gain at that At the age of 18 his library
consisted of the "Life of Franklin," "Plu
tarch's Lives," tbe Bible, the spelling book,
"Isop's Fables," "Pilgrim's Progress."
and the lives ot Washington and Henry
Clay. A boy might have a much larger
private library than this, but he could
scarcely find an equal number of books bet
ter calculated to impart wholesome lessons
as to correct living and right thinking.
CHASED BY AN ALLIGAT0B.
A Contest That Was bufflclent to Last One
Sinn n Lifetime.
St. Louis Ulobe-Democrat.l
"To hunt a 'gator or be hnnted by one" is
quite a difference, as John Highland and
Will Jones say. They were out fishing
with a cast net in a boat one day recently at
the mouth of Fish creek, which flows into
Tampa Bay, just below Eocky Point, Fla.
Noting a big hole near the bank, they cast
their net in, thinking to capture a school of
millet, but, to their surprise, a big 'gator
came inr thrashing and whaling around in
the liveliest manner possible. Then fol
lowed a fight that was a circus. The 'gator
soon had the net in tatters, but the men,
getting mad at this, procured a rope, cast a
bight aronnd his head and had him secure.
This rendered the saurian furious, and he
began the battle right well. He plunged at
the boat and tried every way to get over the
gunwale. The men had onlv small paddles
and a pole to fight him with, but these they
plied lively, beating him about the eyes and
mouth whenever he tried w crawl into the
boat. The 'gator would iumo half his
length ont of the water and then rush at the
boat with wide-open mouth
The men would push the pole into bis
gaping mouth and beat bira with the pad
dles, and then the brute would backoff with
a loud bellow of rage and anger. Finally
by a tremendous sweep ot his tail the 'gator
tore ofl half the end of the boat, and it began
to sink. Jones jumped for land, and catch
ing a big cypress tree, managed to crawl ont
safely. Highland was not so fortunate.
Holding one end of the rope in his hand, he
sprang overboard and tried to gain the land,
but the 'gator pulled away abruptly, and
Highland was flung back into the' water
right in front of the enraged and hungry
monster. Seeing hjm thus, the 'gator, with
a loud roar, plunged toward him with open
jaws. Jonessawhisfriend'speriland jumped
to his rescue, seizing a big light wood
knot (which is as hard as iron and
sharp-pointed) in his hand as he did so.
For naif an hour this contest continued,
and 'gator and men alike were getting
pretty well tired out. The men kent shout
ing for help, and after a long interval Jones'
boy came along from his home half a mile
off. The lad was sent off on the double
quick for a rifle, and the time he was ab
sent seemed hours to tbe tired men. When
he returned nis father took the weapon, and,
aiming carefully at the 'gator, fired; the
saurian plunged furiously forward as he
felt the bullet, and the rope parted with a
snap. As the saurian started toward them
the rifle spoke again, and the big brute
turned over twice and then lay quiet. The
alligator measured 11 feet 1 inch in length,
ana weignea over ouu pounds.
THE LIFE AT SEASIDE BES0BTS.
People Seek tho Coast Line no as to Breathe
a Purer, Fresher Air.
Harper's Weekly.
Like unto the dead cities of Holland, can
there be decayed watering places? Comes
there that ebb-tide of fashion which, after a
time receding, leaves a resort once thronged
hizh. dry, stranded, and deserted? The dis
cover? of the seaside by the meanest gentle
man fn Europe for the Prince Regent cre
ated Brighton may be put down as one of
the few creditable things George IV. ever
did. It took France years before she fully
appreciated what were the advantages of a
sea coast and salt water bathing as health
restoratives. Exigencies ot climate made
us, long before the Revolution, seek the
coastline so as to breathe, a purer, fresher
air. More than a centnrjrago Long Branch
attracted the Philadelphian, and that was
when Philadelphia was the great city of the
country.
We are too young yet to have any of our
seaside resorts taking on signs ot decadence.
Some ol them may change in character, but
that is all. It is the question of transporta
tion which settles the important question as
to whether the seaside resort shall be sought
by tbe million or not No year passes that
railroad companies do not make tbe coast
line their objective point; and by their en
terprise people with little means can take
their health-giving buffets with the break
ers.

SIffCEEITY AS A TRUE SAFEGUARD
Dr. Council's Eloquent iddress to a Large
Congregation
AT THE CHAUTAUQUA AMPHITHEATER
ISFICtAL TBLEOKAM TO TBI DISPATCH.!
Lake Chautauqua, August 10. Fully
15,000 people spent Sunday on the grounds
and the attio of every boarning house was
filled with people who were bound to come
to Chautauqua, even if tbey had to sleep on
a cot and eat at the third table. Every ac
commodation is taken. Tbe season has
well nigh reached its height. One might
easily judge from the appearance of the
Amphitheater this morning that all Chautau
qua wished to participate in tbe devotional
exercises, but as the great edifice will hold
only a limited number those who came late
were obliged to forego the pleasure of hear
ing the eloquent sermon of Eev. Eussell
Connell, of Philadelphia, after the respon
sive service was read by Eev. B. T.Vincent
"I sh3ll not tell you my text," said Dr.
Connell, "but I am going to speak just a3
God directs. I wish to tell you of the high
est type of a church member, as taught bv
Jesus Christ There is a trend that tells us
that the time is coming when all the de-
nominations of the Protestant church will"
be united under one common head. As a
Baptist I am anxious that it should b a
Baptist Church; my Methodist brothers are
undoubtedly desirous it should be the
Church, and all other denominations have
hopes for their churches.
A. MAN OP- COMMOK SENSE.
"The man of whom I am to speat was born
in the mountains. There is no better place
to be born than in the mountains. He was
a man of mixed race. It is glorious to be
of a mixed race, and the great nation of
the future will consist of mixed races,
where all of the virtues of tbem shall be
intermingled. Thus it was fitting that
Christ should have chosen a man of a mixed
race to become the highest example of the
church member in the world, brought up
under various influences and trained in
Grecian schools. He was well educated.
"The man whom Jesus Chrirt selected
was a man of common sense, such as all
good church members should ne, and such
as in the future, when the church shall float
its victorious banners over every land, will
constitute the membership. The locai and
national circumstances will have their in
fluence, and it will be a church of progress,
which adapts itself to the wants of every
Christian. Was the first church like any
church of ours? I do not know what kind
of a church it was, but it was a church of
the people. So, in the time to come, man
can worship by the older or the new form,
but he must be sincere.
WHAT CAUSES CHUECH TROUBLES.
"Churches are in quarrels and factions all
of the time, because tbey do not use tbeir
common sense in making harmony and
peace. The minister of the future will need
a business education, as well as a theologi
cal one. Denominations often insist on
their own lines so closely that local neces
sities are buried. I often wonder whv
Jesus Christ did not point to a minister and
say he was the best church member. But I
am glad that he did not point to the minis
ter who has to act right outwardly. We
know by his record that this man was a
church-going man and a sectarian, but it
does not say that he prayed, though I think
hedid, and at any rate Jesus did not point
to it. He pointed to him as a man of com
ra."eDse. ana me enurenman 01 tne luture
will be a sensible, thorough going business
mon sense, and the churchman of tbe future
The Bible says, "Be not deceived." We
should be sharp and not be deceived. My
good friend in Boston, who lelt his overcoat
in the hallway and it was stolen by a thiet,
who got drunk, set fire to a building and
burned several people with the money he
received from it, did wrong. He had' no
business to be deceived. In all tbe places
of the Church of God, place careful business
men. Godly, not worldly, men should be
installed.
KEEP TOITB CREDIT GOOD.
"A man came to my house and told a
typical story of sorrow, and said he wanted
money. I gave it to him, and in two hours
met him in the street dead drnnk. t was
deceived. I did wrong with that money.
Young men and young women, when you
go out into the world keep good credit. "Be
always so you can get money from your
friends. To bave good credit is to be pow
erful and influential.
"This man of whom I spoke was of the
seceding church. There is nothing so bad
as the members of two quarreling churches.
The spiteful spirit, the bickering and the
slapping in the dark are disgraceful. The
church of the future will be one that is most
tolerating and least attempts to assassinate
and slanders. This man stejdily attended
one church. I do not like the man who
wanders all over, attends every church and
has no home at all. He was non-sectarian
in the eyes ot Christ. More than this, he
was a hero. We wish to go to war and be
come heroes. There is no need of conflict
to be heroes. You can find them in every
day life, right here on these Chantaunua
grounds. When I was in college I was an
infidel. Oh, what contemptible fools these
college students sometimes' make of them
selves! "When in the war I held the same
opinions. A little boy.-the son of an offi
cer in a Boston Cnstom House, came into my
tent one evening and began to read the New
Testament.
A boy's bbaveby.
"I told him that it was nonsense, and to
lay that stuff aside, but he persisted, and by

rushed into the fire of a blazing bridge for
my sword and died for the injuries re

that resolve to read the Testament
before me as braver than the sacrifice of his
life, for it converted me and made me a
Christian. Be like the Good Samaritan.
Regardless of sect or church stop over the
