Afflicted With All Manner of

From Every Side to Be

"Five dollars."
"Eather steep, ehT"
"Xot any steeper than the hill."
And the hack driver smiled at his feeble
Joke as ho helped his two passengers to
alight and assisted them to the door of a
boarding house under tho shadow of
Father Molllnger's church on Troy Hill.
There were a couple of rheumatic men
of middle ago who had arrived from the
West last evening to benefit by the treat
raedt of tho enerable gentleman, whose
fame-for restoring health in chromo cases of
almost all kinds has extended far through
the country. But these two patients were
only a few of several hundreds who have ar
rived within the last few weeks, ana in all
about 15 persons of all ages and descriptions
reached the hill yesterday to undergo treat
ment. There are three boarding houes in close
proximity to the church which make abns'i
nes of caring for Father Molllnger's visit
ors, but so great has been the number of ar
rivals of late that many private houes have
found it necessary to afford accommodation
for the travelers.
Krery Bouse on the Hill Crowded.
When a Dispatch reporter paid a visit to
the hill, last evening, the boarding house
proprietors were preparing shako-downs in
parlors and halls, and every house was more
than filled to Its capacity.
"This is the time of year," said one land
lady, "when the visitors begin to grow
numerous, but this year more have arrivod
thineer beiore. I am sure I don't know
where they are all to find accommodation,
and I expect a good many will have to re
main down in Allegheny."
Persons suffering from ailments of any
kind could not find more comfortable
quarters with more charming surroundings
than exist on Troy Kill. There is much of a
purely suburban air about the cozy houses,
(.haded by heavily foliagcd trees and shrubs,
and the character of the hospitality ac
corded the guests is spoken of in nigh terms
bv tho visitors. From the end of Clark
street a view of the underlying valley, w ith
its buv cities, broad stream and verdant
hillsides, affords the visitors from afar oppor
tunitj for reflection, and a chance forslzing
up the extent and importance of the twin
cities Despite their ailments, and often
keen suffering, Father Molllnger's visitors
spend a very pleasant time, and get more
good out of lile while recening treatment
at his hands than they do at other times
Much has been written about Father
Mollmger and his treatment of epilepsy,
rheumitism, neuralgia, lameness, blind
ness and chrome diseases in general
that has cast more or less of doubt on the
honestv of the reverend gentleman's cures.
It may be stated at the outset that there is
nothing at all of the miraculous about his
treatment. He diagnoses each case with as
much care as any ph sician, and his pre
scriptions are as intelligently written as
those of the profession.
"ot All Catholic Patient.
Full as many Protestants as Catholics are -I
attracted to him by his reputation, and,
while he treats both medicinally without
any distinction, ho does make a differ
ence in the religious exercises
which he enjoins upon his patients. Tho
time which each person must remain 11
three days, and this Interval is only exceed
ed in some cases of a very severe character.
For example, In one house there Is a young
lad who went there nine days ago, suffering
from absolute blindness brought on by
fever. He conformed to all the regulations,
and Father Mollinger deemed it necessary
he should remain longer. The usual course
Is to continue the medical treatment at
home, but this case Father Mollinger wished
to see to the end. Yesterday the bid could
see as perfectly, he declared, "as you can,"
and the gentleman addressed sees perfectly
well.
The routino course is as follows- Mass is
celebrated at 6.30 o'clock and 8.30 o'clock
the church is not large enough to accom
modate all the patients at one celebration
after which there is benediction, followed by
Instructions from Father Mollinger as to the
religious exercises to be performed during
the course of treatment. These, as
stated, are distinctive for Catholics and
Protestants, but they possess for,
both tho necessary element of
firm belief and a strong conviction in the
efficacy of the treatment. Immediately
afterward, Father Mollinger begins to see
each patient, prescribing for each according
to his necessities. These prescriptions are
filled bj a regular apothecary in Allegheny,
who sends a wagon every evening with the
orders.
Yesterday Father Mollinger had a very
weary day. Ho saw people all day up to 5
o'clock, and when the druggist's wagon ar
rived on the hill lastnlghtitcontainedmedi
clne for nearly 100 patients The average for
the past few w ecks has been about 70 a day.
The umber of Patients Treated.
It was found impossible to get at an accu
rate estima to of the number of patients at
present under treatment. Some people said
last night that there must have been 500 per
sons in the church yesterday morning. This
may haA e been because the patients are gen
erallj accompanied by friends to take caro
of them, but the number of people under
treatment probably docs not exceed 150.
They :ome irom all sections of the country,
from Kentuckv and Iowa to Xew York and
Maryland and Maine, and frequently parties
of from five to ten are formed in a locality
to make the pilgrimage together. So case
has been know n w here tho treatment has
failed to afford, at least, very great re
lief, and many surprising cases of cure are
recorded. The reporter spoke with a man
last night who had been suffering from kid
ie disease for manj years. He had tried
three first-class physicians without effect,
and at last made up his mind to see Father
Mollinger. He asuredTms : Dispatch re
porter that he was already beginning to find
benefit, though the treatment had but Just
commenced.
In one house there is a man who w as par
alyzed in his lower limbs, but was walking
about yesterday with facility. In another is
an old lad whose sight was restored to her.
Father Mollinger enjoms strict attention
to his instructions, and steadfastly refuses
to again see anyone who is guilty of a breach
of the observances. A case was related last
night of a Protestant woman whom the
reverend gentleman had cured of an nil
ment. Ko desired her to perform certain re
ligious exercises for a certain period. Sho
returned after an inter al to bo again
treated, but when she admitted liming
omitted the performance of the dutv im
posed upon her, Father Mollinger would not
see her.
The healing priest was seen last night for
a few moments He felt very fatigued after
his day's work, and did not care to converse
much about his cure. He objected strongly
to statements w hlch have been printed pur
porting to be reports of ceremonies nnd
alleged cases of cures, in which the reverend
gentleman claimed ho was placed in a very
false light before the public He also dep
recated tho statements made regarding
his health, and to tho effect that he was far
from well. Certainly, Father Mollinger now
looks as if he had still a firm hold on life,
and likely to retain it.
A SAVIOB OF F0BTY-TW0 LIVES.
Captain Hlnnan Applies to the Department
of Charities for Aid.
A man who has saved 42 lives at Coney

is simply to kick them in tho stomach and

- MUST MAKE FAST TIME.
low Fares on a Cable Road Attracting
Many Passengers The Electric Road to
Get Even by Means of Speed How It
Will Be Done.
The managers of tho Duquesne road are
apparently alive to the fact that If they want
to obtain a share of the patronage which tho
Pittsburg Traction Company has taken from
them by reducing the fares to 3 cents, they
w ill have to get np and hustle for It. There is
nolongerany doubt of tho successof thePltts
burg" Traction Company's scheme for embar
rassing its rival, as the most casual observer
might have seen yesterday. The Fifth ave
nue cars were running w ith full loads, while
the Duquesne vehloles were comparatively
"Carrying as many people as when you
first started?" was asked a conductor on the
Duauesne road, vesterdav.
" ot one-half as many to-day as then," was
replied; "many people traveled because it
was a novelty, and many who would be reg
ular customers on this line are attracted to
tho Fifth avenue line by the cheap fare."
A conductor on the Fifth avenue lino re
marked that he had taken $10 more in fares
yesterday than he had ever before. Tho
money-takers were experiencing no difficulty
in making change. The slips of five tickets
for 15 cents were bought up readily, and a
feature in this connection will be that tho
conductors can collect the fares in less time,
because they have less change to make. Tho
afternoon and early evening cars on this
road were Jammed to excess.
How the Duquesne people propose to get
even with their rivals can be little more
than oonjectured. It is said, though, that It
will be in the matter of speed, and that a
power house will be built on Soho Hill with
tmsoDiect. in this relation General Man
ager Itlce was seen yesterday. He was
averse to saying anything at nU on tho sub
ject, although claiming that the Duquesne
was very ousy, Dut replied to a iew
queries. Regarding the question or the
Thomson-Houston motor, Mr. Rico said
tho company was not contemplating making
any competitive test to ascertain which
motor was the best. Mr. Rico further said
that he could not say what might not be
done in this matter, after the test now being
made with the Thomson-Ilouston motor was
finished. Ho said the company was not tied
to this motor. He denied that any prepara
tions for a test between two cars of the same
height, furnished with a Thomson-Houston
and IVestinghouse motor, were being made.
In electrical circles tno opinion prevails
that tho Duquesne road has a big white ele
phant on its hands in its new motors. They
nre of the "doublo reduction" pattern, and
this type has been discarded in constructing
new lines In favor of tho "single reduction"
motor, which has one gear, one pinion less
than the other, and no intermediate shaft.
This type is now being made by the other
companies, and no double reduction ma
chines are longerthoughtof. The Duquesne
is understood to liavo in ested $250,000 in the
motors, and the next effort will be to make
them as serviceable as possible.
AGAINST THE WIDENING.
Repeal of the Diamond Street Improvement
Ordinance Recommended.
The Committee on PuBlic "Works held a
five-minute session yesterday afternoon and
affirmatively recommended a number or or

M0HE GUARDS AX TEE JAIL.
The Prison Board to Act on the Question
of Having Three Turns.
The monthly meeting of the Prison Board
will be held next Saturday. Among the im
portant matters to be acted upon will be a
resolution providing for the appointment of
an additional set of guards for duty in the
county Jail. At present there are only two
turns of 12 hours each for tho guards on
duty, and they are not allowed a day off each
week as In other institutions, but must work
seven days a weeki This .is equivalent to
six months' confinement in each year.
Since the Governor has signed Senator
Xeeb's bill providing for three turns of eight
hours each for State penal institution env
ployes, w ho have been allowed one day off in
each week, friends of the Jail employes have
started a movement to secure at least tho
eight-hour regulation for the Jail.
A number of members of the Prison Board
have alreadv nledeed themselves to smroort
tho resolution, and its supporters will mako
an effort to enlist support irom all tho mem

Major HoUiday Says Blaine Is Very Popular
"With "Western People.
Major S. V. Holllday, of Erie, Commissioner
of Customs, was at the Union depot last
evening returning to Washington. The
Major said there would be enough revenues
this year to conduct the Government, though
they might run a little short next j car, but
it wouldn't embarrass anybody. The Mc
Kinley bill knocked off$fi0,000,000, or $200,000
daily of a tax on sugar, and this will'leave a
big hole in tho re enues.
He stated also that if Blaine were a candi
date for the Presidency, be would receive a
great many votes in the South, but hardly
enough to guarantee him the delegations.
He can have Pennsylvania any time, and ho
could easily secure Minnesota, Wisconsin
and any other Western State. His recipro
city scheme has greatly pleased the "Western
farmers.

POLICE BUSINESS OP THE TWO CITIES
Mrs. Nancy Hogan, colored, 63 years old,
died at her home. No. 9 Townsend street, late
yesterday afternoon. Her death was of a
suspicious nature and the case was reported
to Coroner McDowell, who at onco went to
tho house, impaneled a Jury and began the
Inquest. As a result of the inquiry, Lucy
Hogan, daughter in-law of the dead woman,
was locked up in Central station last night.
The deceased was the wife of Clay Hogan,
a well-known colored man. They had three
daughters and three sons. One of the latter
is Clay Hogan, Jr., who was recently mar
ried ana occupiea. xne lower nooroi me
house. Last Friday afternoon Clay and his
wife, Lucy, got to fighting. The old lady,
hearing tho disturbance, went down stairs
and tried to stop the fuss. She was attacked
by both and cried for help to her other two
sons and married daughter, Mrs. Susan
Love, who were up stairs. The latter came
down first. As sho entered the room she
saw her mother fall and heard her say;
"You have kicked me in tho stomach."
The three led the old lady up stairs. On
the way up she said:
-LiUcy KicKea mo tureo times.-
Then she fainted away. Fhyslcians were
called, but could do little to relieve her
sufferings. She grew steadily worse until

WHY HE PREFERRED DEATH.
James Sim Shoots Himself Because His
Sweetheart Refused to Elope "With Him
Fired Two Shots Into His Body and
"WIU Probably Die.
James "W. Sims shot himself yes&rdny be
cause his sweetheart declined to elope with
him. The latter is Katie McDermott, who
works at John Dunlap & Co.'s tin and
Japanned ware store on Second avenue. She
is just 17 years old, and lives with her mother
at No. 74 Locust street. Sims, who is five
years her senior, has beenpaying attentions
to her for some time, and had several times
asked her to marry him. But the parents
on both sides objected to any such thing, as
Sims was a Protestant and member of John
Gray Council, Jr. 0. U.A. M., while the girl
was a Catholic
Last Saturday Sims resigned a position
with the Sowickley Dairy Company with no
apparent reason. He then went to his home,
No. IS Pride, and told his mother he was
going to leave, but would answer no further
questions. Early yesterday morning he had
packed bis trunk, and, saying he would send
a wagon for it, left the house with a valise in
his hand. He made his way down to where
Miss McDermott works and called her out.
The young lady came down the stairs and
talked with him on the pavement. Sims
wanted her to elope with him to Cumberland
and be married. She laughingly declined,
thinking he was Joking. Sho then started
up stairs to go work again, when he called
her back and urged her once more to marry
him, saying he would kill himself if she did
not. She told him she would answer him
after she was through work and started
away again.
The girl had scarcely gotten away when
Sims pulled a revolver from his pocket and
fired a ball into his breast. He fell to the
pavement and then sent another ball into
his body. Several people ran up J ust In time
to prevent him firing a third shot. The
patrol wagon was called, nnd Sims was taken
to the Homeopathic Hospital. Last night be
was removed, to his home, but the physicians
have little hope of his recovery.
The young man is a son of James Sims,
who killed a man on Federal street, Alle
gheny, and after serving a term in the peni
tentiary, was shot in the riots of 1877. His
grandfather was a Councilman from the
Third ward 20 years ago.
TWO TOO WISE DETECTIVES.
A "Wealthy Nail Man From Cleveland
Taken for a Counterfeiter.
S. IL Chlsholm, a wealthy wire nail manu
facturer of Cleveland, had the laugh on two
detectives from the Gilkinson agency last
evening. Mr. Chlsholm was stopping at the
Duquesne and gave Clerk Douglas
two new $5 bills to get tickets
on the Lake Erie to Cleveland. A boy from
the Holmes messenger sen ice was called,
and he came back alter awhile unable to buy
the tickets until 8 30 In the evening. Ho was
told to keep the money and get them at that
time. In a short time afterward two detect
ives matched into the hotel, and
said the bills were counterfeit. Their
card was sent to Mr. Chlsholm, and he sent
back word that he w as tired, and would see
them In a few hours. This made them angry,
and they insisted upon Mr. Chlsholm going to
the Central station.
The nail man w cnt and laid down about
$500 of tho new notes. The detectives had
never seen so much money before, it was de
clared genuine, and then Mr. Chlsholm
called them down for their freshness.
Sold a Borrowed Horse.
John Golden, a 15-year-old boy, was ar

SINGING ATTHEPABK.
Prospects of Having the May Festival
Chorus at the Fourth of July Celebra
tionOver Twenty-Three Hundred Dol
lars Now in the Fund.
The latest feature suggested for the big
Fourth of July celebration Is to have the
May Fostlval chorus present to intersperse
the speeches with national airs. Prof. Carl
Better, the leader, has stated his willingness
to have the chorus out at Schenley Park, but
thinks $200 or $300 would be necessary to
cover the expenses. The Mayor thinks the
feature an excellent one, but doubts whether
enough money could be spared to pay for it.
He will have a conference with Mr. Better
this morning about the matter.
"The Idea is a decidedly good one," said
Mayor Gourleyyesterday. ''Nothing would
be more of a drawing power than a trained
chorus of several hundred voices to sing be
tween the speeches. People object to stand
ing about listening to one long address after
another without any break. By having
plenty of good singing we could do with loss
speaKers, ana ugreni uiuiiy more people
would attend. If we can come to an agree
ment with Prof. Better I will be heartily In
favor of havlmr the chorus. I think we
might spare $100 to cover their expenses, but
more than that would be doubtful, unless
the subscriptions take a wonderful boom.
"If we succeed In making the arrangement
about the chorus Chief Bigelow will en largo
his plans for the speaking platform in order
to accommodate the slngors. Wo expect to
have most of the children from the public,
parochial and private schools present, and
children are all fond of music."
The Fourth of July fund received quite a
boom in-tho way of subscriptions yesterday,
as follows: Eckhard Relneman $25; Chronicle
Telegraph, $50; Pittsburg leader, $25; Volks

BUILDING STRIKE GROWING WARMER
The Amalgamated Association began its
Sixteenth annual session In Turner Hall
yesterday morning. Tho day was spent in
disposing of routine matters, and after the
permanent organization is formed this
morning the convention will get down to
business. The most noticeable feature
about the convention this year is the large
Increase in delegates and the remarkable
change in its make-up. .Two years ago
there were not more than 200 members; last
year 2G0, and when tho roll Is called this
morning 325 delegates will answer to their
names. There never was such a sprink
ling of young men in the convention, which
is said to indicate that it has become neces
sary to get "young blood" into the national
lodge. The delegates are an intelligent lot
of men, and the membership at large will
look for good work from this year's conven
tion. Among the most prominent delegates
aro Vice Presidents "William A. Carneyf
John P. Sheehan, Harry Hocking. Bees "W.
Prosser, J. D. Hickey, William Whiteman,
P. H. McEvoy, Thomas Cunningham, John
Gallagher, Jeremiah Doherty, John Miller,
E.C. Corbly, John L. Price, J. J. Gallagher,
"Welsh Sproul and Charles Johns, first dis
trict; George D. Evans, Thomas Brettel and
Edward Lewis, second district; George
Roberts, M. D.Cook and John Richards, third
district; John Bissett, J. J. McCaffrey and
John Thomas, fourth district; J.J. Haggerty,
George H. Owen and Cornelius Meagher,
fifth district; J. F. "Ward, E."W. Roderick and
George Powell, Sr., sixth district; Jonah
Hoskins, James Jackson and "William H.
Lodge, Seventh district, and Samuel Rox
berry, John Graham and Anthony Beilly,
eighth district.
Prominent Among the Absentees.
Probably the most notable absentee is
James H.Nutt, who was one of the trustees
last year. He has been elected to a munici
pal office at Youngstown, and has retired
from the association entirely. He will be
missed in the organization, as he has been
prominently connected with it hi an official
capacity for quite a number of years. There
is some quiet talk indulged in among the
delegates that an offer will be made to Mr.
Nutt with a view to brinrrinr him back into
the association. It is understood
that President "Welhe 'is thinking of
retiring, but a prospective increase
in his salary will probably retain him. Mem
bers of the association seem to recognize
that there Is a demand in other fields for
their good men, md as a consequence they
must take stop3.J hold them. A proposi
tion was to have been made to regain the
services of William Martin, but the salary in
his new position is such as to preclude any
such move now. The representation from
the Pittsburg mills as compared with that
from other places will be reduced this year.
Formerly Pittsburg furnished nearly half
the delegates, but this year it will scarcely
be able to supply more than one-third.
The following are the numbers each mill
h&fi sent: Jones & Lauhlins. 15: Renublic.
5. Chess, Cook & Co , 2; Oliver Bros. & Phil
lips (three mills), 8: A. M. Byers & Co , 2;
Phillips, Nimick & Co , 2: the Clinton Mill, 1;
J. Painter's Sons, 6; J. W. Friend & Co., 1;
Pittsburg Forge and Iron Company, 4; Lind
say & McCutcheon, 3; Brown & Co., 3; Zug &
Co , 3; Shoenberger A Co , 4; Brown Co.'s
steel mill, 1; Carnegie, Phlpps & Co., S.Spang,
Chalfant A Co , 1; Vesuvius Iron Works, 1;
Kensington Mill, 1; the Soho mill, 3; Key
stone, 8, Elba Iron "Works, 2; Linden Steel
Company, 2; Vulcan Forgo and Iron "Works,
2; McKeesportMills, 9; the Bessemer plant,
Homestead, 16: Mlllvale, 3, Out of tho total
of over 300, this makes 112. Of this latter
number there about 52 puddlers and 0 fin
ishers. Complaints of the Puddlers.
Heretofore, the puddlers assert, they have
not received as much attention as their
work demands, and they propose to make
some effort this year to have their wages ar
ranged more equally. During the past year
the puddlers In nearly every local mill have
complained about the hard iron they have
been compelled, to work. Several strikes
have been the result, but In "nearly every
cose a compromise ha3 been effected with-,
out benefiting the puddlers to any consider
able extent. The protection they wlU
ask for Is not in the shape of an increase in
puddling, as the boiling scale will remain as
ft has been, but it will be against hard iron.
It is a matter of doubt, however, as to what
they will accomplish. Their greatest
strength is in Pittsburg. AH the delegates
from Horn estead aie finishers, and 10 ot the
15 from the American Iron Works are also
finishers.
The meeting yesterdaywas not called to
order until 11 o'clock. The Committee on
Credentials and Contested Seats were im
mediately appointed. The former commit
tee is made up as follows:
Harry Hoving, No. 8, "West Virginia;
Thomas Cunningham, No. 1, Alabama; Bees
W. Prosser, No. 1, Indiana; Joseph Stevens,
No. 5, Ohio; John Gallagher, No. 85, Pennsyl
vania; Emanuel Schlllo, No. 6, Pennsylvania;
Jeremiah Dougherty, No. 27, FennsyH ania;
Thomas N. Williamson and Thomas Hanley,
No 4, Illinois.
The special Committee on Rules consists
of Dennl3 O'Leary, No. 26, Ohio; J. P.
Sheehan, No. 11, Pennsylvania; John Thomas,
No. 10. Illinois: J. D. Ilickey and R. S. Jones.
alio aiternoon was also oi snort duration.
The Committee on Contested Seats, of which
there are four, reported that they could not
completo their work until this morning.
The Committee on Rules reported fixing the
hours at from 9.30 A. M. to 12 Ji. and from 2 to
5 p. M. Cushlng's Manual was selected by
which to determine all questions of order.
President "Weihe'g Address This Morning.
The annual address of President "Weiho
will be the first thing on the programme this
morning after tho permanent organization
lias been formed. In this the chief execu
tive of the organization will Teview the
work of the official year now closing. The
record made by the association is one of
progress, and one which sustains the good
name of tho organization. Under President
"Weihe's management, particularly, with tne
aid of his vice presidents and deputies, the
affairs of the organization have progressed
steadily and upward. Peace and good feel
ing have prevailed generally. Seventy-seven
sub-lodges were added during the year,
which gives an Increase in membership of
from 8,000 to 10,000. The financial condition,
according to the statement recently sentout,
shows a decided increase in the treasury.
An important matter to be considered this
gear is u proposition to meet triennially.
nb-lodges very truthfully urge that they
will save money by this plan. Over 200 of
tho 325 delegates are here from a distance
and pay on an average of $2 a day for hotel
expenses alone. The sessions usually last
about 25 days. On this basis the actual hotel
expenses of the delegates foots up a total of
$10,000, which must be met by the sub-lodges.
To this is added railroad fare and other ex
penses. Tho matter of Introducing the roll turners'
scale will also be considered this year.
THE AITinXAL mSPECTION.
Directors of the National Tube Works WU1
Go Over the Plant To-Day.
E. W. Converse, D. W. Hitchcock, W. T.
Eaton, James B. Forsytho and J. H. Flagler,

but they were not complaining.
He said people were frightened because so
much gold was going out of the country, but
It would comeback later, as theEuiopean

A Suggestion.
If you are troubled with rheumatism or a
lame back, allow us to suggest that you try
the following simple remedy: Take apiece
of flannel the size of the two hands, saturate
it with Chamberlain's Fain Balm and bind
it on over the seat of pain. It will produce
a pleasant warmth and relieve you of all
pain. Many severe cases have been cured
in this way. The "Pain Balm can be ob
tained from your druggist. "WS

Work at Bethesda Home.
OVER FIFTY INMATES RECLAIMED.
Bad Environments and Low Wages the Al
leged Causes of EviL
DB. DEC0STA DEMANDS SOCIAL EEF0EM
Rev. B. F. DeCosta, D. D., of New York,
who is the head of the White Cross Society,
last night honored with his presence tho
first anniversary of the founding of Bethesda
Home. The celebration was held at the
Smithfleld Street M.E. Church and though
the attendance "was small Doctor De
Costa's address on the purification of the
social atmosphere kept up an intense in
terest. The report showed that 73 women have
been In the Home daring the year.
Twenty-flve of them were placed in situa
tions, 21 returned to their families, 12 were
sent to other institutions, 9 left of their own
accord and 6 are still inmates of the Home.
Only five of the cases were considered hope
less. During the year $6,967 were received
and $0,919 wero expended- Of this amount
$6,234 was for property, buft there Is still a
mortgage on the Rome for $1,350.
Rev. J. IL Prugh, President of the Bethes
da Homo, Introduced Dr. DeCosta. He
spoke of the work which he claimed was
the outcome of a social wave headed by the
White Cross League. He congratulated the
management on being more successful even
than the directors of the New York Mid
night Mission, in that the Bethesda had a
showing of 53 rescued women out of 73. In
Now York only 18 were reclaimed out of 115.
Then the minister continued:
"There is something wrong In society. I
say society is a fraud, conspiracy of the
strong against the weak. Evolution claims
that man as he is to-day is a survival of the
fittest. Society to-day, being tne conspiracy;
that It Is, is a survival of the fittest, I
mean a sacrifice of the weak for the strong.
Go into a diamond polisher's place and
see the diamond being polished by a white
powder made of poorer weaker diamonds
being placed on a wheel. Like a diamond
one portion of society is being ground up
that the other may be more resplendent. It
is a case of diamond cut diamond and the
diamond that is cut up and ground to polish
the other is just as good and resplendent as
the other. One of the results of this society
conspiracy is that we have an overwhelm
ingly large class of girls between whom and
a wrecked life there Is frequently no choice.
The work in hand Is to deal with society at
large. The question is, shall present evils
continue with your consent?"
A woman's voice here cried out, "Reform
the politician."
The Doctor replied, "We'll do that," and
then proceeded to show how poverty drives
J'oung girls from paths of rectitude. He be
ieved the two great sources of evil were
bad environments and low wages. Men and
women he believed should bo held equally
accountable for their actions. He then made
a plea for Christian marriages, and said
"marriage did not tend any more to morality
than a gin mill does to temperance." lie
then closed with a tribute to the Bethesda
Home, and said It was doing more good than
all the churches.
Rev. J. T. McCrory then spoke on the need
of money to clear off the mortgage,and asked
for subscriptions to a fund of $1,500 to run
the Home for the coming year.
