RESCUE OF VETTEH'S PARTY.
i Thrilling Description as Related by
Major Ingraham Himself.
Attorney George M. Watson received
a letter on Saturday from Druggist
Holmes of Seattle which contained a
clipping from a Seattle paper, describ
ing Major lngrnliiinrs rescue, of 1'. J.
VottiM' and party. The excerpt fol
lows: "Authentic Information of the trip
made to rescue the unfortunate Klk pur
t), who worn dying of scurvy on the
Hcluwlck rler. In tho Kotzebue cotintr),
reached Seattle yesterday In u letter
written by Major ('. S. Inginham, the
leader of the relief party, to his wife
here. The letter was written May 2S,
on board the Elk. In the Selawlck river.
Ho s,'i)s he had Just returned from Cape
Nome, and on May 1 two men. Whit
ney ami Shaw, arrived at the Kotzebiin
mission, bringing news of the awful con
dition of the mis party.
"lie sn)s the Klk party was at a point
on the Selawlck livor about 17.1 miles
from the mission, and wete nil in n ileail
or d)lng condition from the terrible ef
fects of penny. The opinion given by
Whitney and Shaw was that unless re
lief wore sent to the survivors of the
party none could be saved at all. So
Major Ingraham went to work to get up
a relief party.
"The story of the success of the expe
dition Is told In the majur's own words
as follows:
"The 175 mile Journey up to the Klk
was not a thing to be lightly thought of,
because It was the middle of May. a time
when tho rivers break tip and the lee on
the lakes Is covered with water. It was
humanity's call, so I detet mined to start
and lead the party. A meeting of the
miners at the mission was held to con
sider the plan. They were all willing to
give supplies, but no one cared to under
take the terrible tllp. Ralph Shenfio. n
Seattle boy. was the llrst te. volunteer
his services, but no one followed suit
until F. H. Sumnis, the missionary here,
said he would go. Xo nue else followed,
so I had -to have Whitney and Shaw
abandon tlulr trip to Nome, and take
them and their dogs with me. They re
sponded cheerfully.
"We secured a native with three more
dogs to come along, and on Sunday, Ma)
1, started with twelve dogs, two sleds
and the men. Kveryone we met befote
we started told us wo would never get
there: but human life was at stake and
wo felt that we must succeed at all haz
ards. The only thing In our favor was
that we would have twenty-four hours
of daylight and could travel as long as
our strength lasted. I will not go Into
the details of the terrible Journey, ex
ei pt to say that from In ginning to end
we wiuliil In from four Inches to two feet
of ice-cold water all the time, liy the
time we got to the foot of Selawlck
lake, three dogs had given out and tho
native could hardly walk. We leached tho
head of the lake anil hired two more na
tives, nnd from the lake started across
the country. We struck several small
lakes, but the Ice was too weal; to be
crossed safel), and wo had to go mound
them.
"Afler our arrival at Selawlck river
we had pood ice to travel on for three
days, but when It started breaking up
we had to make for shore. The next day
we learned that two more of the Klk
party. ,1. ,1. Ithliiehart nnd Captain
Charles Smith, had died about Stay 9.
"Four days later we arrived in sight
of the M'iir y-sti liken schooner, after a
hard trip thiotigh water and tangled un
derbrush, now wading waist deep In the
iee-eold river, now cutting our path up
the liver.
"The scene which met our eyes wlen
we boarded the schooner beggars descrip
tion. The men were In the cabin, wait
ing for death, beiau-e they never hoped
to see tho outside world again. Wo
erected a tent on deck and took them up
from the cabin and applied the best
remedies we knew to ease their suffer
ings. The men we found wore: Or. I. J.
Vetter, of Seranton, I'.i.; J. c. JInrrlson,
of Diiluth. Minn.: A. J. llutton, of liav
City, Mich., and Kathi l'liimmer, of Port
Towns-end.
On May 2rt wo started down the river
with them, and on .lune f. arrived at the
bead of Selawlck lake. The sick men
are nil doing well, except l'liimmer, and
I am doubtful whether he can possibly
recover.
"Major Ingrnham's prediction In regard
to l'luinnier turns out to be wrong, as
lMumniei' arrived In Seattle the Alli
ance mi Wednesday and Is much Im
proved." DISMISSALS AT AN END.
Lackawanna's New Regime Con
cludes Its House Cleaninp;.
A high railroad olllclal of very ex
tensive experience in railroad affairs
In this country has made the state
ment to the Newark Advertiser that
there will be no more wholesale dis
missals of men by the new manage
ment of the Lackawanna mail.
lie pays a high tribute to the ability
and energy already displayed by the
new olllclals. He says that the stock
holders of the company, when they de
cided upon tho change In the manage
ment of the road, would have selected
eastern men if they were obtainable.
They wore not, however, and the west
had to be called upon to supply capable
men to undertake the vast work of iv
oranlzatlon. As this olllclal stated to the Newark
Advertiser, It Is predicted that In a
short time there will be an Immense
Increase In business In the freight and
passenger departments.
There will be rigid economies In the
matter of cutting down expenses In the
handling or worthless freight business,
which will necessarily mean cutting
down of the number of cars for each
freight train, but Instead of throwing
men permanently out of employment.
this win in the end tend toward the
great Increase of legitimate business,
as large shippers of freight will recog
nize the efforts to better handle their
business by sending more business, nnd
this is certain to mean a great number
of employes,
Another thing, It Is well for the em
ployes to know that the rank and tile
of the road need have no fenr or dis
missal. They are not responsible for
the antediluvian methods which have
prevailed. On no railroad In the coun
try could better engineers, conductors,
brakomen and other railroad bands be
found than are today in charge of tho
rolling stock of the Lackawanna sys
tem. The nianagi'inent. being practical
men who could run a train themselves
if compelled to know this, and will
never make removals among tho rank
and file.
Only In tho general olllces, whero
Noah's ark methods have been In as
cendency since tho war, will there bo
any dismissals, and these are almost
completed. Ask any of the patrons of
the road who were ever compelled to
go to the general olllces to make com
plaints In the past how they were
treated and ask them how It Is today.
The scheme of reorganization Is cer
tain to be of Incalculable benefit to all
the cities and towns along the Iickn
watina road, It Is claimed. It means
more business for Its business men.
and more work for Its railroad men and
money for the Lai luiwannn road.
Cleneral Superintendent Russell, of
the Lackawanna, announces that the
company contemplates the erection of
a new and handsome depot and office
building on tho slto of tho present
Lackawanna avenue structure.
He does not know, at present, when
the work will be undertaken .hut suys
tho new station will be a reality In the
J course of two or three years.
NEGRO MUST HAVE
INDIVIDUAL IDEAL
REV. H. A. GRANT SPEAKS AGAIN
ON THE EMANCIPATION.
Each Race in tho Pursuit of Perfec
tion Becomes More Nearly Perfect
as Its Ideal Is Constantly Refined
Into a Higher PmccUon In the
Case of tho Negro There Must Be
a Careful Re-reading nnd Re
Interpretatlon of American His
tory. Rev. H. A. Orant. II. P.. at the How
ard Place A. M. IS. church yesterday
morning delivered the second address
upon the emancipation of the negro
ton large audience. In part he said:
"Men i ml nations follow the lead !
thin Ideals as surely as effect follows
itnise because no man or race of me l.
can attain a higher degree of perfec
tion than Is represented In their con
ceptlon of perfection as possible for
them.
"This Ideal, this shadowy something
that beckons them on nnd en iianln
them Into an enthusiastic pur-uilt, u '
dor normal conditions, always 'ir..
sumes the race type of the individual,
or Individuals, under Its spell an
anthromorphlc meeting of the spnit
ual with the physical for the regenera
tion, or (If abnormal) the degeneration
of the Individual or race of Indlvld
ua,. "Herein is found Its well-nigh mir
aculous transforming power. To the
Hebrew, It becomes a Hebrew: to the
Japanese, It becomes a Japanese, to
the Anglo-Saxon , an Anglo-Savon:
and (why not?) to the negro, a negro?
"In other words, each race In Its pur
suit of perfection as represented by Its
race type, not only becomes more
nearly perfect as its ideal Is constant
ly refined Into a higher perfection bv
Ihe touch of civilization, but It also
becomes more compact In Its interest.:
because, that that attracts Is Itself
transfigured. Hence, the Hebrew at
tains a nobler Hebrew manhood; the
Japanese, a nobler Japanese manhood;
the Anglo-Saxon, a nobler Anglo-S'i-on
manhood; and (why not?) the no
gro a nobler negro manhood?
MUST TDKALTZK ITSKLF.
"History abundantly confirms this
fact. Without exception every race
that has made any contribution to civ
ilization has Idealized itself Indeej,
has idolized Itself and has embodied
In Its race type all the attributes of
perfection.
"Waiving any further consideration
of this phase of the subject, the inure
important (tuestton, 'How shall the
Mow that Is to sever the chain of a
false ideal, be directed so as to be
most effective in hastening his third
and final emancipation?'
"The answer is not far to seek. The
school of slnvery welded this chain up
on his limbs; the school of freedom
must break it. First, there must be
a careful le-readlng and re-lnterpreta-tlon
of the world's history, and espe
cially of American history, by those
who are charged with the high calling
of educating the negro youth from the
pulpit, from the editor's chair, on the
platform, and In tho class room, that
a clearer vision may be theirs as to
the steps marking the progress of civ
ilization; that they may see the zigzag
paths along which all civilized races
have gradually matched into a grand
er life.
"Thus will they be encouraged to
take up anew, the peaceable fight for
their own race's aggrandizement,
strong in the knowledge that thoir's Is
no more difficult a conflict than that
through which others have success
fully fought.
A (HJKAT MKNACK.
"Themselves having been made free
by a dispassionate study of the facts
ot History, they will then be able to
Inaugurate campaigns looking toward
the freedom of their less fortunate
fellows; second, by teaching patriot
ism love of country, but another
expression for love of race. A
man without patriotism Is a man
without a country, without country
menan anarchist. The negro lead
er (?) who would not sing his national
anthems, who would not honor tho
flag, because this is not an 'ideal re
public' whose only rule is the golden
rule. Is it greater menace than his
race's most rabid enemy.
"This country is Indeed 'the land of
the frop and the home of the brave'
for all that can accept and follow Its
political (not Its race) ideal. Herein
Is found its unsurpassed advantage'
that makes It in fact a cynosure of the
eyes of the oppressed of all races; for
within its larger freedom there Is am
ple room for the cherishing of the re
spective race Ideal of Its citizens
without any conflict with Its conception
of government 'for the people, by the
people.'
"Now, then, the negro's supreme
need Is a mount of race transfigura
tion, where he may behold a vision of
perfect manhood under the guise of
Ills race type. Then will he, a free
man, see his liberator an Intra-racial
Ideal. Slav his leaders have the wis
dom and the courage straightway to
load him up thither.
PLEASURES OF CHRISTIAN LIFE,
Topic of a Sermon Preached by Rev.
James Hughes, D.D., Last Night.
The itev. James Hughes said, while
preaching last night In the Presby
terian chapel, Adams avenue, that a
tritely Christian life was a happy life.
The pleasures of religion, he averre.l,
are rich and abundant. They are the
most refined nnd ethereal that can be
experienced by any human being.
They are both satisfying and ennobling
In their effect on the heart and life of
any mortal man whose conscience Is
enlightened by the Holy Spirit and
whose soul is tho recipient of sanctify
ing grace. Whether wo test the ciues
tlon by reasoning a priori, or by adopt
ing the Inductive process of reasoning,
wo arrive at tho same conclusion,
namely, that the Christian religion af
fords pleasure to those whose lives ate
subject to Its authority und animated
by Its spirit.
Whether we move on the linen of the
writer of fiction, w ho wiuiis outward
from certain given principles In quest
of the facts, or whether we follow the
course of tho faithful historian, who
works Inward from given facts to find
tho principles of which the facts aru
tho outcome, wo arrive at the same
conclusions, viz., that religion of the
Hlble will give pleasure to the mun
whose thoughts aro penetrated with Its
spirit, and whoso being is saturated
with Its Influences.
Kxperlence and philosophy teach that
"Her ways are ways of pleasantness
and all hor paths tire peace,"

A NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT.
Story, Art Gallery and Concert Com
bined in One by Dr. Crnfts.
Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, of Washing
ton. D. C. superintendent of the Re
form Htlieau, pleached twice yester
day nt tlie Kim Park church. He Is
returning from Clifton Springs, Ro
chester and Saratoga, in all of which
he has made a successful tilal of a
new device that attract pub"" atten
tion even In summer and on week das
to religion and reform.
Dr. Crafts, aided by his niece, of fif
teen years, who played the violin very
acceptably yesterday at Klin Park, and
by the Murray Lecture ltureau, stcr
eotlcnn specialists will repeat his ser
ies of entertainments here this week,
In Oucrnsey hull, beginning at 4:S0
o'clock tonight.
Dr. Crafts tells a story which is fre
quently Illustrated by gems from or
atorios and cantatas and popular
songs and both story and songs are Il
lustrated by stereootlcon pictures,
hundreds of thorn copies of the great
paintings and many made especially
for this lecture story.
He Is if be assisted by leading
Scianton musicians during the week,
Including Mrs. Worden, well known as
formerly soprano in Kim Park choir,
Miss Susie Hlack, holding same posi
tion in Second Presbyterian choir, Mrs.
F. I'. Hi lee, assistant organist at Klin
Park, Mr. Alfred Wooler and others
to be announced later. Children un
der sixteen will not be admitted the
first night, because the hall Is not large
and the story is not for children.
Admittance tonight Is free to others,
but a collection will be taken for the
Reform Bureau which bears the heavy
expense of this unique combination as
a new Invention for promoting Inter
est In the great problems of personal
and social life.
The leading paper of western Xew
York, the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle, gave the following natter
ing verdict of success after the trial
trip in that city was completed.
"This featuring a love story, an art
gallery and a concert all in one and
at the same time Is something new and
Is said to be the idea of Dr. Crafts.
The Illustrated songs that have taken
so well with the American public of
late have been improved on In this
novel scheme of Dr. Crafts, and al
though the Idea is yet in its Infancy,
It will doubtless advance to a front
page as an entertaining feature."
SIGNED WITH KANSAS CITY.
Third Baseman Coughlin Joins the
Western League.
William Coughlin. of this city, who
played third base for Wilkes-Harro la
the Atlantic League, and whose re
lease was purchased by Washington,
was t cleaned last wet k by Manager
Irwin, together with Homier, Atherton
and Duncan.
"Hilly" Immediately signed with
Kansas City for the balance of the
season, and Atherton joined Connie
Mack's Milwaukee team. Seven of the
old Wllkes-Haire players are now with
Kansas City.
Coughlln's failure with the Senators
was not due to lack of ability, but too
much was expected of him there In
illllng n position on tho Washington
team, which has been neglected for
several years.
A new beginner In the big league Is
subject to much ciltlclsm, and play
ing with a tail end team like Irwin's
misfits is not very encouraging.
Coughlin will bo In the National
league next season, with either Brook
lyn, New York or Cincinnati, and will
then demonstrate his ability to shine
in fast company.

The Famous Reformer Treats of the
Study of tho Scriptures In nn In
teresting Manner We Cannot Be

Wo Don't Understand So We Must
Come to the Tablo With a Keen
Spiritual Perception.
Dr. Wilbur V. Crafts, of Washing
ton. D. C, the famous reformer nnd
representative of the Social Reform
league, occupied the pulpit of Kim
Park church yesterday.
He has Just returned from a three
weeks' experimental Journey, demon
strating it solution of the problem of
securing attendance at religious meet
ings during the summer season and on
weekday nights.
It consists of a combined story, art
gallery and a concert, In what Is termed
by the critics "An unqualified success
and a new Invention."
The stereoptlcon part of the enter
tainment reproduces the noblest pic
tures of Christ In art and the musl"
rendered Is from tho "Messiah." th-
"Creation" and other oratories, and th"
cantatas of "Ruth" and "Jolrus
Daughter."
The songs, as well as the story, are
pictured on the canvas. These enter
tainments will begin tonight at Guern
sey hall, opening sit 7.4." o'clock. Kach
night this week a different programme
will be presented. Prominent singers
and representatives ot various choirs
of tho city will sing.
lir. Crafts' niece. Miss Blanche
Crafts, will furnish violin music. Miss
Crnfts rendered the offertory last night
In a beautiful, soft, flowing tone, well
adapted to sacred music. Mr. Wooler's
solo was a pleasing feature of the ser
vice RK LI S iTFCd flfl 1J 1 Jk'st UDy7"""
Dr. Craft's subject was: "Relish for
Bible Study." First, he said to get
more relish we must have more re
ligion. We may be fdneoro Christians
but we come to the scriptures not as
to a feast, but as one conies to a
dreaded medicine.
"We cannot become enthusiastic over
a thing wo don't understand. It was
written by Inspiration and unless we
can come to it with spiritual percep
tion which is as keen as musical per
ception, it means little to us. As the
musical ear Is a defect with some of us,
so tlie spiritual perception is often the
same."
"Interest in the author gives Interest
In the book. The scenes must become
real. The Imagination must no trained
to a vi.vid degree. We do not always
get the Bible characters as real flesh
mid blood,"
Tlie speaker Illustrated his meaning
In word pictures of the scenes sur

fishes, and of Paul going up to Jerus

VARIKTY TENDS TO RKVKRKNCK.
"Variety tends to reverence in Bible
reading," said Dr. Crafts. "Daniel
Webster lead the scriptures through
every year and yet lie said that there
Is more of Bible tiuths yet to be
gleaned from what has escaped the
notice of the commentators than from
all other books combined."
While the speaker had great respect
for the people who read the Bible
from Genesis to Revelation, but as It Is
better to see Switzerland by various
routes we get different views, so it is
better to read the Bible according to
other jilons.
Tho method of reading in chronolog
ical order was recommended. The
Psalms may lie placed just where they
belong In David's history. For in
stance, in the supreme hour of David's
agony of heart and mind he wrote
that night: "Now I lay me down to
sleep," for the children of all genera
tions. Beading blographlcally Is another
interesting method, while reading the
Bible with application to present
times, events and scenes, thus train
ing the mind to associate Scripture
with every day life, Is still another
Interesting study.
