The United State 3Iay lie Drawn Into a Long War The Iter. W. S. Jenckes's Sermon Rev. J. Cumming Smith, pastor of Tab- ernacle Church, preached to a large con- gregation yesterday morning on the theme of "The Inwoiklng and Outworking God." He said in part: "Paul like all luminous seers Is great, not alone for what he utters, but for what he cannot utter because it is unutterable. And in this entire chapter his inspired genius burrows down to subterranean depths of thought only, however, to be tempted to I lerce down still deeper. Just as the noble hunting hound burrows down until almost lost in the hole of the hiding game, but by its eager bark shows the game Is still farther underground. It is the unfail- ing tribute to the mightiness of the world's fiuggestlve life and. therefore, of the God who dwells in the background that all our irofoundest thought only opens to view tome more abysmal realms of possible knowledge. No book equals the Bible in bold pioneering quality and in the power of suggesting for vistas and perspectives. "In this chapter Paul aTgues a little lika a rabbi, but his thought Is clear as crystal. It is God working in the soul and this means the triumph of the upper sphere of a man over the under part. Man is as it were bivalve, two-shelle- d, two-tiere- d, and when a man grows In righteousness and love and holiness of reason and other divine Qualities he is walking in companionship with God. This is the conception of Paul, although the course of argument smacks of Jerusalem rather than modern phras-olog- y. "One urtId suppose such a chapter too lofty and supernal for the coarse notes of controversy. Where we climb to high crags we expect to sec the eyries of eagles and not the kennels of ugly-jawe- d bull dogs. But this chapter is scarred and smoky with credal wars. The Bible, although the voice of eternal quietude, has been provocative of interminable discussions and even so tar has been helpful as discussion rescues us from stagnacy. Still we affirm that prog- ress comes not nearly so much from the f.wordplay and thunder of contentions as from the men of deep serenity of soul who see the deep truth, who catch the re- mote visiion, who hear the exquisite anr melodic rhythms of life and are too full of divine dream for the vulgarity of an en- counter. The men who carry warpaint and haunt the prize ring in theology are in nine cases out of ten dwarfs strutting around as giants. The unostentatious be- lievers who relish their faith and force it into all the phases of life are the leaven and leverage of our progress. THE BLACK CROWS. "The black crows caw on the outer fringes of the wood, but the better birds are at their work in the heart of the wood mating and building nests and watching broods. The stream makes much noise rush- ing along over the stones and teems to court our notice. 'See how I can leap and dane along. But the silent waters.of the dam, with every bird in its flight and every cloud mirrored In its tranquil depths, fur- nishes the power that propels the mill wheels. "The apostle affirms that ultimate victory celongs to the divine element in the world. If God b for us who can be against us? There can be no truce. The forces that crag down allow no armistice. It is war to the death. But after centuries oi tumult an bitterness the outcome is the uncon- tested supremacy of good and the primacy of God. This, in the- - last analysis, is the philoso- phy of history. In the long run it Is not a struggle for existence so much as a strug- gle for character. Moral Issues have al- ways lain at the heart of violent collisions among classes or races. Take Waterloo. To the schoolboy it is a fight between Na- poleon and Wellington. To the statistician it is but a muster of so many troops and the display of so much military maneuvers. But to a philosophical historian it is the rupture between two civilizations. Napo- leon represents dash and dazzle and hol- low treachery and atheism poisoning all the sources of life. That was and Is too much the leprous condition of France. Wel- lington symbolizes strength and firmness and faith in God and austerity of govern- ment and the pricelessness of liberty that spurns the chains. And Wellington won because the inflexible civilization he repre- sented must inevitably win. God was with him in this great sense. There was no miracle, but the necessary evolution of di- vine principles of rectitude and freedom The British war with the Boers was some- thing more than a local disturbance: it was planetary; it was the meeting of a stagnant form of Christianity and a virile form of Christianity, and. despite all the injustices on both sides, there could only be one conclusion to it. Bancroft has only revoiced every great historian when he said that every war involves stinging in- iquities and shameful excesses, but that notwithstanding, the forces of education and character and progress were success- ful. The war with China la the inevitable Hash between Anglo-Saxo- n development and Asiatic, conservatism. It affects the entire planet. No man doubts the outcome. or my own part I believe that the world is plunging into an enormous conflict that may last a century. My reason for this statement is that it has taken a dozen cen- turies for the Anglo-Saxo- n race to rise from the slow, slimy levels of barbarism and slaughter and brute force in every galling form to the high modern plane; and if it has taken such a length of time for Saxon to rise' even thus far in the scale, must we not allow considerable time to 400,000,000 of crabbed, brainy human nature to reach the same altitude? I am no prophet or pessimist. PROLONGED STRIFE. T am an optimist. But I face the facts of history, and I argue from these that a prolonged programme of strife awaits us in China. - The present broil may be quelled by patching a brief truce, but the aggressiveness of trade will penetrate that empire and inflame fresh animosities, and oceans of blood must flow yet. Empire converting is an enterprise requiring cen- turies, and it is madness to go Hon hunting I. Jungles under the placid Impression that ie are going squirrel shooting. The Boxers, half patriots and half Anarchist, are Just doing to-da- y what our loud-vaunt- ed fore- fathers did some aes ago. and with a halo of .glory, too! Race lifting is a toll-som- e task. Iron-ribbe- d prejudice must be conquered, long-settle- d superstitions must be uprooted. But God marches on, and the mission of elevated races is to elevate, or they lose their own elevation. And so there can be but one conclusion to the present crisis. Asia must learn to wheel into line with God's march through the world; and Asia will. Some argue from the outrageous duplicity of Chinese officials and the butch-erou- s frenzy of Chinese soldiery to stop missions: Why try to convert such brutes? We argue the very opposite. The sooner China rises to our faith and liberty and culture the less blood will it cost us in the long run. At all events, if the other logic is worth a twist, it would have been the duty of cultured Rome to have left severe- ly alone our naked, sensuous, brutish an- cestors prowling in British swamps and of- fering quivering human beings upon their altars as sacrifices to cruel gods! Yes, but many ieople can argue correctly about the past who cannot, even if you applied the thumbscrews, argue correctly about the lurid future on the same lines. Such is one of the incongruities of human nature. But all bigotries must go down. God I in league with the races at the front, and nothing can block His path, even though it may require a hundred years to pry up Asia and sheathe the dripping sword." REV. XV. S. JEXCKES'S SERMOX. He In In I.lne with the Country's Philippine Poller. Rev. W. S. Jenckes, former pastor of St. Paul's Church, but now engaged in es- tablishing a college for girls in Santa Cruise de Yajoa, Spanish Honduras, preached In Meridian-stre- et Methodist Church yesterduy morning. He took for his subject the ninth verse of the fourth chapter of Genesis, using the sentence, "Am I my brother's keeper?" He said: "This verse teaches a lesson hat I of much pur- port this morning. It teaches us that we are our brother' at keeper. The lesson taught can be applied to all mankind; it teaches THE IMHAINAFOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 1900. us that we should assist the hungry, the unelothed, the destitute. It illustrates the affection and brotherly love that should exist between man and man, coming down to the present time as an appeal to our personality and impersonating a lesson that we are responsible for each other's keep- ing. Not only is it applicable to individuals, but also to larger bodies, to corporations, societies and nations. A nation no more than an individual should refuse to assume the responsibility as a protector to its weaker brother, and should Impart its hap- piness, education and enlightenment and prosperity to the weaker one." Continuing, the speaker said there had been no special demonstration of this duty by the United States since the country freed itself from England and Washing- ton declared a policy in conformity with the text that later became known as the Mon- roe doctrine, until recently. He said it was properly applied by President Cleve- land when England tried to take a part of the Venezuelan republic, and again in the freeing of Cuba from Spanish rule. In re- iterating the outrages of the Spanish gov- ernment in the island of Cuba and the continually increasing tyranny exercised under the despotic rule, he said: "Then it was our duty to interfere, and a sense of justice rose up in this country which re- sulted in this government taking up arms and throwing off from the island of Cuba the atrocious Spanish rule. It was right that we should, and with the freeing of that Island we acquired the Philippines, which we held, which we now hold and I think by all means we ought to hold in the future, beyond any doubt." The minister then referred to the coun- try where he now lives, and said it is time for the United States to turn its attention there, with its institutions of learning and enlightenment. He said the helping hand should go farther into South America and defined the importance of building an isth- mian railroad and constructing a Nlcarag-ua- n canal by saying that the pending prob- lem in China will be solved in a manner that will make the Atlantic the back en- trance to the United States and the Pacific the front. Realizing the importance of educating the people of this southern country, he said he started about a year ago to teach a class of girls a course in English litera- ture. Then he was selected to organize a college, and he is now in this country to purchase supplies for the institution, which opens Sept. 13, with an enrollment of fifty young women. He said the education of these people is essential from a religious as well as moral and commercial stand- point, as their manner of worship deviates but little from the idolatrous method of their ancestors. He said the Roman Catho- lics had missions, but their mode of wor- ship had become so contaminated with the pa Kan religion that prayers ascend to false gods, instead of to the truly Supreme Be- ing. TRAVEL ON A HOT DAY PUOl'Li: CAHRJED 11V OVTfJOlXC AXD IXC03IIXG EXCURSIONS. The Strect-Ilalltra- y Company Hud One of the nig; I)aa of Its History-Comf- ort Hnrd to Locate. Incoming excursion trains brought thou- sands of visitors to Indianapolis yesterday, but the outgoing trains carried more thou- sands away to other cities. The passenger traffic, as a whole, however, was not as heavy as usual. There were four out- bound excursions and only three that came to Indianapolis. The heaviest outgoing train was the ex- cursion over the Big Four to Cincinnati, which carried twelve coaches, all of which were pretty well filled. The excursion to Louisville over the Panhandle was also well paronlzed, the train consisting of ten well-fille- d coaches. The excursions over the Rig Four to Union City and over the L. E. & W. to Michigan City were but fairly well patronized. In addition to the above outgoing ex- cursion trains were the regular Sunday trains to Acton and Bethany, all of which Carried away hundreds of Indianapolltans from their native city. But tho crowd that came in on the C, H. & D. excursion from Cincinnati was equally as large as the one that left for that city by way of the Big Four. Twelve coaches were crowded to their utmost capacity, and when the pas- sengers alighted at the Union Depot it looked like a small army had arrived in Indianapolis. The Pennsylvania brought in an excursion from Xenia. O., Richmond and way points, the coaches being fairly well tilled. The excursion over the Big Four from Terre Haute also brought a number of visitors to the city. HEAVY, STREET CAR TRAFFIC. The Indianapolis-stree- t Railway had one of the heaviest traffic days of the year. Every car owned by the company , was pressed into service, and each car carried til the passengers it would hold and one moje. Most of the crowd was bound for Falrvlew Park, but many went to River- side, Brooksldc and Garfield Parks. Those who felt inclined to disport themselves in and on tho water went to Broad Ripple and the cars to that resort were crowded to their utmost capacity. Owing to the in- tense heat those who went to the park in the morning did not return until late in the afternoon and evening and for that rea-bo- n there was a time in the middle of the afternoon when the street car traffic was comparatively light. The service of the company was excellent, and great crowds which would Bather at the corners along Illinois and Washington streets in he morning would melt away as though they were being transported by some in- visible carry-al- l. The crowd for the most part was a good humored one and smiles end perspiration were the order of the day. There were no serious accidents re- ported, and the hottest day in the year passed as any other. - IIEUT. ARMSTRONG HERE. He Says General Mlles's Old Regiment Is Preparing to Move. Lieut. George R. . Armstrong, of the United States army, was at the Bates yes- terday. He came here to meet his brother, who came up from Louisville. Lieutenant Armstrong is with the Fifth Infantry at Fort Sheridan. The Fifth is General Mlles's old regiment of Indian fightera. Lieutenant Armstrong says the regiment is preparing to move and the men feel that their destination is China. He says they are anxious to move and are hoping that they will get to go to China instead of the Philippines. The regiment wants to tight und it is felt that there will be more op- portunity for action in China than in the Philippines. Collided with n Pole. J. S. Daugherty, of Sl'l Wright street, while riding on a Central-avenu- e car col- lided with a pole early last evening and was painfully injured. He was taken to a Crug store at Central avenue and Twenty-secon- d street and tMe city dispensary am- bulance with Dr. McGaughey in charge moved him to his home. Time of Holding: Examination. The annual examinations for positions in the postofflce service will be held in this city Nov. 17, and all persons who desire to enter the service should aplpy to the secre- tary of the local civil service board for ap- plications, which should be filed prior to o'clock p. m.. Oct. Zi. to entitle them to take this examination. Ttto Alleged Pickpockets. Two young men, giving the names of AK bert Fisher, Chicago, 111., and Walter Bax- ter, Columbus, O., were arrested yesterday morning at the Union Station b.? Detec- tives Splan and Fort. The men were charged with loitering and are supposed to be "good" men of the pickpocket variety. Xot Language Reform. fit. Louis Republic.

People Enjoyed Themselves, Despite the Interne Ilent Character of Services at Both Places. Yesterday was a banner day at Bethany Park and all day there was a constant in-pour- of visitors, who came on trains, bi- cycles and drove to the park. The grounds were crowded with old folks and young people wearing gowns of every, hue and color, but universal in seeming to enjoy themselves in spite of the extremely warm weather. Almost every cottager on tha grounds entertained guests all day, and the great Bethany " family spent a Sunday which will live in their minds as a pleasant memory. The day was purely a social for every one and there were only two ser- mons during the day, one In the morning and another in the evening. The Bible school in the morning was con- ducted by John Q. Thomas, of Rushville, and the morning sermon was preached by J. A. Lord, editor of the Christian Stand- ard, of Cincinnati. He spoke on "Life's Relationships" from the text, "No man lives unto himself." Mr. Lord said we are largely creatures of our time and inherit- ance, and that nothing was isolated in the universe, but everything is related and the knowledge of the relationship of things is scientific education. The relationship of persons is the realm of religion. Each mind Is related to other minds as certainly as cne atom to all other atoms in the uni- verse. The tendency of the present age is to recognize the unity of relationship of things and persons. The old civilizations built castles and the new build bridges. The old cities' had walls to protect them from the outside enemies. The new cities by railroads and telegraphs and other means of communication are Inviting the outside worlds to come and dwell within their borders. The enemies of the new city are all within. The church is conditioned on human soelety, and while usually bet- ter than its society is at the name time af- fected by It. It is impossible to have a perfect church In an imperfect society, so the preachers and church must be inter- ested in all the forces that go to purify and elevate the society in which they live. In the afternoon a number of cottagers and visitors attended the communion serv- ice, and in the evening an address was de- livered by W. J. Russell, of Rushville. His subject was "Christ, the Divine Magnet, the Center of Attraction," from the text "And I, if 1 be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself." He said In part: "These words are no empty boast. They have stood the test of time for more than 1.800 years, and have never stood so promi- nent and dominant aa at the present time. He is making His bold claims goods. From the beginning great tides of thought and stirring . inquiry and mighty revolutions have been radiating from that system of which Christ is the center, so that Christi- anity is recognized to-da- y as the greatest force in the world. Follow the bright and shining rays of the sun of righteousn?ss along the pathway of human development. Other agencies have been at work, but Christianity Is the dominant force in the world's history. And the world can never cease to be distinctly Christian as long as there is a gradual approximation to the Christian Founder. For the accomplish- ment of His world-wid- e mission He or- dained the preaching of the gospel. For the regeneration of mankind, for the set- tlement of tho unholy fires between labor fnd capital, there is no substitute for Christ and His blessed truth. What is needed to-da- y is to see the uplifted Christ. Hold Him up in. the classroom, in the home, on the streets, everywhere, and as men shall see Him they will be changed from glory' to glory from character to character."

It In Estimated That Six Thonsand People "Were nt Acton. The first Sunday of holiness camp meet- ing attracted thousands of people to Acton I'ark yesterday. Old cottagers on the grounds said the crowd yesterday was the largest in many years. Every train un- loaded all its passengers at the camp grounds and at the gate it is estimated that there were at least five thousand tick- ets taken in. The manager of the hotel, who has compunctions about selling gro- ceries on Sunday, did a rushing ice cream and soda business all day and the dining loom at the hotel was crowded at every meal. The rousing meetings at the pavil- ion attracted most of the visitors, conse- quently it was crowded both inside and around the sides. People stood at the win- dows and in the aisles, notwithstanding the Intense heat. Rev. C. W. Ruth conducted the morning services. An amusing incident occurred during the service. Mr. Ruth, aft- er an impressive sermon, took up a col- lection and before he was quite finished someone in the audience began the hymn. "He Touched Me," ' all unconsciously of the low ripple of laughter that swept through the audience. Many of the cottagers who go to Acton for quiet were provoked yesterday morn- ing at the ringing of the pavilion bell, which began at 5:30 for the early prayer meeting. The cottagers on the square suf- fered most and were unable to secure any rest through the day on account of the many services. Last night the services were conducted by Rev. Mr. McLauglln. Dr. Fowler will have charge of the services to-da- y. The late arrivals at the hotel are Mr. and Mrs. James W. Tyner, of Morrlstown; Mrs. Henry C. Wiese and daughter, of Cumber- land; Mr. and Mrs. John M. Buchanan, of Cumberland; Leslie Clancy, Will Lower, of Indianapolis: Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Rog- ers, of Greensburg: Mrs. J. W. Dashiell, of Madison. Exercises nt Pine Lake. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. LAPORTE, Ind., Aug. 4. Friday was a most delightful day at Pine lake. The Bible School Institute met at 9 o'clock with Rev. Dr. Stucker, of Chicago, as instructor. Tha theme was "Evangelization in the Bible School." The speaker was a man of rar power and forcefulness and impressed his hearers with the necessity of a definite pur- pose In Bible-schoo- l work. At 10 o'clock 1 rof. Robertson. D. D., conducted the study hour. He lectured on the nighttime In the life of Jesus, neaking In most part of the passion week in the life of the Lord. Rev. Daniel Shepardson. Ph. D.. closed the morning session with an inspiring and htlpful address on "Brothers and Sisters lr. Christ." devoting himself to the great theme connected with the fatherhood of God. The Bible School Institute was in chance of Rev. D. R. Iindis, of Lafayette, for the afternoon hour. Four o'clock brought a relief from the routine of assembly programme. A baseball game was? played by the Cold Wave Club and the. Ljaporte team, resulting in a vic- tory for the former. The tennis courts were ulso occupied the most of the day. At 8 p. m. the annual concert was given with ProL C. R. Parker as director. The assembly has an abundance of fine musi- - cians this year and the concert proved a rare treat. Great credit is due the director lor its success. - : Dr. W. C. Taylor. Rev. A. D. Berry, of Indianapolis, Rev. D. R. Landis, of Lafay- ette, returned to their homes on Friday. Mr. Leon Miles, of Franklin, was among the arrivals. . ALLEGED SWINDLER. He Is Accnsed of Having Reaped JPllO.OOO from His Gold Brick Farm. MALONE. Ky., Aug. 5. A man who is ac- cused of being a gold-bric- k swindler and of operating under the names of Smith, Og-de- n. Pratt and Flower, is under arrest here. It Is charged that about a month ago he swindled a Massachusetts farmer out of $4,QC") by means of the old game. When the crime was first learned Spring- field detectives followed Smith to Montreal. He was arrested there and allowed ball in the sum of $6,000, which sum he deposited and disappeared from Montreal with a con- federate. American detectives, however, followed him to Ottawa, thence to Corn- wall, where he hired an Indian to row him across the St. Lawrence to St. Regis, on the New York side of the river. The men then came to Hogansburg. The confeder- ate, who called himself Sanders, made his escape, but Smith was captured and brought to Malone to-da- y. The chief of police of Springfield, detectives from Mont- real and New York are here. Smith is said to be an old offender. It is said that his operations were condveted in conjunction with two others, o v that these three, within the last ten years, have swindled farmers in various places out of at least StlO.000. It Is stated hat Smith will resist extradition to Massachusetts. WILL MAKE ALL LAWS JUDGE TAKT'S COMMISSION' TO LEG- ISLATE FOR FILIPINOS. On Sept. 1 It Will Pass on All Meas- ures Reinting to the Islands and Estnhllsh Courts. MANILA. Aug. 5. On Sept. 1, the com- mission headed by Judge Taft, will become the legislative body of the Philippines, with power to take and appropriate insular moneys, to establish judiclaP and educa- tional systems and to make and pass all laws. No money will be permitted to be drawn from the insular funds except by authorization of the commission. Judge Taft and his colleagues will also exercise certain executive functions. For Instance, they will appoint judges, officials in the educational department and officers of municipalities, which the commission es- tablish pending elections. General MacArthur will be the executive head to enforce the laws of the commission and he will conduct the government in ac- cordance with the same until the commis- sion recommends to President McKinley the appointment of a civil governor. The only three banks in Manila have formed a ring to reduce arbitrarily and without justification the rate of exchange for American gold. This has cajsed wide- spread indignation and many difficulties for commerce and minor business. The banks, however, are obdurate. There has been an Increase of insurgent activity during the last three weeks, espe- cially in the way of ambushes and attacks on small parties. First Lieutenant Alstat- ter, of the engineer corps, with an escort of fifteen men. was taken In ambush in the province; of Neuva Ecija, Luzon, by a large force. The Americans fought until their ammunition was gone, and. as they were surrounded, there was nothing to do but to surrender. One man was killed and three were wounded. General Lacuna, who was in command of the insurgents, re- turned the wounded, with a letter promis- ing to treat the prisoners well. Lieut. Boc-to- n Hulesberg was ambushed and killed near Santa Cruz, province of Laguna. Five men of the Twenty-fourt- h Infantry were captured in Neuva Ecija, but Ser- geant Schmidt, of the Twelfth Infantry, with seven men, trailed the captors and killed five.

C. S. Tittman. United States commissioner in the matter of international boundary between Alaska and Canada, has arrived from the north. He and F. W. King, the British commis- sioner, have been setting monuments In accordance with the agreement reached in the modus vivendi. Tittman states that Glacier, Boulder Rock and other creeks which the miners claim constituted a por- tion of the Porcupine district are now in British territory. He said: "Porcupine river and all of its affluents are defined by modus vivendi. Glacier and Boulder Rock creeks are on the Canadian side, and will be so long as the modus vivendi line is rec- ognized. "It is difficult to tell what constitutes the Porcupine district. The miners think it Includes a great many creeks and rivers not tributary to the Porcupine. I under- stand they claim Glacier, Boulder Rock and other streams are Included in the so-call- ed Porcupine section. If that is a fact then much of the Porcupine camp lies on the British side. Certainly Glacier and Boulder Rock do. Glacier runs north and south and practically parallel with Porcupine, No matter where the line runs, all claims staked in the disputed Porcupine territory prior to the time the modus vivendi took effect, Oct. 20 1S99, will Intact in accordance with the terms of the modus vivendi.

Srcial to the Indianapolis Journal. HUSHVILLE. Ind.. Aug. James E. Watson announces that, after consultation with Republican man- agers in Indiana, he has concluded to give up his proposed visit to Maine and will de- vote his time during the campaign to this State. The Democrats, It is said, expect to make Indiana the battleground of the cam- paign, an1 for this reason Mr. .Watson be- lieves it is tho duty of Indiana Republicans to get on their fighting harness and meet the rpemy with a solid front. If Hie Re- publicans of Indiana manage the campaign with their customary push and energy, Mr. Watson believes the State can be carried by a majority fully as large as that given two and four years ago. Mr. Watson will not confine his efforts solely to the Sixth district, which he feels certain will give a greater majority than two jears ago, but he expects to speak In Hemcnway's, Cro- mer's, Landls's and Brick's districts and in five counties of the old Fourth district that were in that district when represented in Congress by Mr. Watson. The Bryan and Stevenson notification meeting at In- dianapolis next Wednesday and the Demo- cratic clubs meeting in September, he says, show the importance given Indiana by the Democrats. Mr. Watson says Indiana Jas come Into the Republican column for good, and all that Is required to secure a sweep- ing Republican victory is hard work. TO IMPROVE THE SERVICE.

The Catholic societies of the city, especially those composed of young men, made the celebration of Father Fred Burgett's first mass this morning an occasion for a parade and for a display of interest in the young priest who was born here and spent his boyhood in the city.

Before going to Louraine he was at St. Melnrad's lor five years.

Fashionable People, He Says, Have X Excnse for GolAug on thlloly Day or Gambling at Other Times. NEWPORT. R. I.. Aug. 5.-Su- nday golf and bridge whist for stakes, a favorite di- version among the summer colony, were discussed, and the fashionable folk who play them were severely arraigned by Rev. Dr. Braddin Hamilton, of New York, in his sermon at All Saints Chapel this morn- ing. The congregation represented the most" exclusive social circle of the coun- try. In part Dr. Hamilton said, after tell- ing how the whole country looks upon its society people as the leaders: "Show the people of this country' that the boastful, vulgar, brainless spendthrift is not the Ideal citizen of this country. There are a good many people who might be excused If they spend Sunday in recrea- tion and amusements, but the people of Newport have no such excuse, and the young men or young women who will de- sert church on Sunday morning and go and play golf, have very little respect for themselves and far less for the com- munity which they are leading In th wrong. Another example, the last and probably the moat important. U the intro- duction of petty gambling. We have rea- son to believe, with great regret, that such a custom has been practiced and is being practiced in many of the cottages at New- port this season. It Is safe to say if ram- bling is established here as an amuse- ment in respectable homes, that inline of a year this country will have ten million more gamblers than it has to-d- ay and the majority of them will start in their humblt fiats, surrounded by bare walls. Just at Innocently as you started here on youi piazzas, eurrounded by plants and flow- ers" , QUAKER CITY MYSTERY MEItCH AXT AXD WIFE FOL'XD DEAD IN Til EI It GARDEN. Each Had a Bullet Hole In the Ilea Three Theories as to Hot tha Tragedy Occurred. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5 Robert W. Sinclair, aged fifty-on- e year a fruit com- mission merchant In this city, and his wife, Annie E.. aged thirty-tw- o years, were both found dead last night with a bullet hole In each of their heads la the garden in front of their summer home at Green Tree Station, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, near this city. Whether it was a case of mutual suicide or murder and suicide will probably never be known. The couple had frequently quarreled ani some time ngo separated. Last week thi wife returned to her husband's house, Sin- clair and his . wife each carried a pistol. For what reason no one could ever find out. Last night as the husband reached home and was entering the gate, neighbor! heard him exclaim: "Don't shoot!" and a few seconds later two shots in quick succession were heard. Several of th neighbors rushed into the jrarden and in tha darkness found Mrs. Sinclair lying dead. Close by her head was her husband's revolver. The busband was lying a few feet away, and died in a few minutes with- out regaining consciousness. The wife pistol, a smail weaion was found about three feet from his body. The police authorities of Chester county made every effort to-d- ay to unravel the mystery. There are three theories as to how the tragedy occurred. One, that they agreed on mutual suicide: recond. that both fired at the other in i duel, and third, tl at the wife killed the husband with her pistol, threw it n-a- r his todv and then took her own life with his revolver. The police are Uicllned to the belief that the last theory is the correct one. DEAD MAN IN A BOAT. I)Urofrr- - of Sailor. Who Thoucjit They Were Talking to a Live Mag. NEW YORK. Aug. 5.

LONG STRIFE IN CHINA

The United State 3Iay lie Drawn Intoa Long War The Iter. W. S.

Jenckes's Sermon

Rev. J. Cumming Smith, pastor of Tab-

ernacle Church, preached to a large con-

gregation yesterday morning on the themeof "The Inwoiklng and Outworking God."He said in part:

"Paul like all luminous seers Is great, notalone for what he utters, but for what hecannot utter because it is unutterable. Andin this entire chapter his inspired geniusburrows down to subterranean depths ofthought only, however, to be tempted toI lerce down still deeper. Just as the noblehunting hound burrows down until almostlost in the hole of the hiding game,but by its eager bark shows the game Isstill farther underground. It is the unfail-ing tribute to the mightiness of the world'sfiuggestlve life and. therefore, of the Godwho dwells in the background that all ourirofoundest thought only opens to viewtome more abysmal realms of possibleknowledge. No book equals the Bible inbold pioneering quality and in the powerof suggesting for vistas and perspectives.

"In this chapter Paul aTgues a little likaa rabbi, but his thought Is clear as crystal.It is God working in the soul and thismeans the triumph of the upper sphere of aman over the under part. Man is as it werebivalve, two-shelle- d, two-tiere- d, and whena man grows In righteousness and loveand holiness of reason and other divineQualities he is walking in companionshipwith God. This is the conception of Paul,although the course of argument smacksof Jerusalem rather than modern phras-olog- y.

"One urtId suppose such a chapter toolofty and supernal for the coarse notes ofcontroversy. Where we climb to high cragswe expect to sec the eyries of eagles andnot the kennels of ugly-jawe- d bull dogs.But this chapter is scarred and smoky withcredal wars. The Bible, although the voiceof eternal quietude, has been provocativeof interminable discussions and even sotar has been helpful as discussion rescues usfrom stagnacy. Still we affirm that prog-ress comes not nearly so much from thef.wordplay and thunder of contentions asfrom the men of deep serenity of soulwho see the deep truth, who catch the re-mote visiion, who hear the exquisite anrmelodic rhythms of life and are too fullof divine dream for the vulgarity of an en-counter. The men who carry warpaint andhaunt the prize ring in theology are innine cases out of ten dwarfs struttingaround as giants. The unostentatious be-lievers who relish their faith and force itinto all the phases of life are the leavenand leverage of our progress.

THE BLACK CROWS."The black crows caw on the outer

fringes of the wood, but the better birdsare at their work in the heart of the woodmating and building nests and watchingbroods. The stream makes much noise rush-ing along over the stones and teems tocourt our notice. 'See how I can leap anddane along. But the silent waters.of thedam, with every bird in its flight and everycloud mirrored In its tranquil depths, fur-nishes the power that propels the millwheels.

"The apostle affirms that ultimate victorycelongs to the divine element in the world.If God b for us who can be against us?There can be no truce. The forces thatcrag down allow no armistice. It is warto the death. But after centuries oi tumultan bitterness the outcome is the uncon-tested supremacy of good and the primacyof God.

This, in the-- last analysis, is the philoso-phy of history. In the long run it Is not astruggle for existence so much as a strug-gle for character. Moral Issues have al-ways lain at the heart of violent collisionsamong classes or races. Take Waterloo.To the schoolboy it is a fight between Na-poleon and Wellington. To the statisticianit is but a muster of so many troops andthe display of so much military maneuvers.But to a philosophical historian it is therupture between two civilizations. Napo-leon represents dash and dazzle and hol-low treachery and atheism poisoning allthe sources of life. That was and Is toomuch the leprous condition of France. Wel-lington symbolizes strength and firmnessand faith in God and austerity of govern-ment and the pricelessness of liberty thatspurns the chains. And Wellington wonbecause the inflexible civilization he repre-sented must inevitably win. God was withhim in this great sense. There was nomiracle, but the necessary evolution of di-vine principles of rectitude and freedomThe British war with the Boers was some-thing more than a local disturbance: itwas planetary; it was the meeting of astagnant form of Christianity and a virileform of Christianity, and. despite all theinjustices on both sides, there could onlybe one conclusion to it. Bancroft has onlyrevoiced every great historian when hesaid that every war involves stinging in-iquities and shameful excesses, but thatnotwithstanding, the forces of educationand character and progress were success-ful. The war with China la the inevitableHash between Anglo-Saxo- n developmentand Asiatic, conservatism. It affects theentire planet. No man doubts the outcome.or my own part I believe that the worldis plunging into an enormous conflict thatmay last a century. My reason for thisstatement is that it has taken a dozen cen-turies for the Anglo-Saxo- n race to risefrom the slow, slimy levels of barbarismand slaughter and brute force in everygalling form to the high modern plane; andif it has taken such a length of time forSaxon to rise' even thus far in the scale,must we not allow considerable time to400,000,000 of crabbed, brainy human natureto reach the same altitude? I am noprophet or pessimist.

PROLONGED STRIFE.T am an optimist. But I face the facts

of history, and I argue from these that aprolonged programme of strife awaits usin China. - The present broil may bequelled by patching a brief truce, but theaggressiveness of trade will penetrate thatempire and inflame fresh animosities, andoceans of blood must flow yet. Empireconverting is an enterprise requiring cen-turies, and it is madness to go Hon huntingI. Jungles under the placid Impression thatie are going squirrel shooting. The Boxers,half patriots and half Anarchist, are Justdoing to-da- y what our loud-vaunt- ed fore-fathers did some aes ago. and with ahalo of .glory, too! Race lifting is a toll-som- e

task. Iron-ribbe- d prejudice must beconquered, long-settle- d superstitions mustbe uprooted. But God marches on, and themission of elevated races is to elevate, orthey lose their own elevation. And so therecan be but one conclusion to the presentcrisis. Asia must learn to wheel into linewith God's march through the world; andAsia will. Some argue from the outrageousduplicity of Chinese officials and the butch-erou- sfrenzy of Chinese soldiery to stopmissions: Why try to convert such brutes?We argue the very opposite. The soonerChina rises to our faith and liberty andculture the less blood will it cost us in thelong run. At all events, if the other logicis worth a twist, it would have been theduty of cultured Rome to have left severe-ly alone our naked, sensuous, brutish an-cestors prowling in British swamps and of-fering quivering human beings upon theiraltars as sacrifices to cruel gods! Yes, butmany ieople can argue correctly about thepast who cannot, even if you applied thethumbscrews, argue correctly about thelurid future on the same lines. Such isone of the incongruities of human nature.But all bigotries must go down. God I inleague with the races at the front, andnothing can block His path, even thoughit may require a hundred years to pry upAsia and sheathe the dripping sword."

REV. XV. S. JEXCKES'S SERMOX.

He In In I.lne with the Country'sPhilippine Poller.

Rev. W. S. Jenckes, former pastor ofSt. Paul's Church, but now engaged in es-tablishing a college for girls in SantaCruise de Yajoa, Spanish Honduras,preached In Meridian-stre- et MethodistChurch yesterduy morning. He took forhis subject the ninth verse of the fourthchapter of Genesis, using the sentence, "AmI my brother's keeper?" He said: "Thisverse teaches a lesson hat I of much pur-port this morning. It teaches us that weare our brother' at keeper. The lesson taughtcan be applied to all mankind; it teaches

us that we should assist the hungry, theunelothed, the destitute. It illustrates theaffection and brotherly love that shouldexist between man and man, coming downto the present time as an appeal to ourpersonality and impersonating a lesson thatwe are responsible for each other's keep-ing. Not only is it applicable to individuals,but also to larger bodies, to corporations,societies and nations. A nation no morethan an individual should refuse to assumethe responsibility as a protector to itsweaker brother, and should Impart its hap-piness, education and enlightenment andprosperity to the weaker one."

Continuing, the speaker said there hadbeen no special demonstration of this dutyby the United States since the countryfreed itself from England and Washing-ton declared a policy in conformity with thetext that later became known as the Mon-roe doctrine, until recently. He said itwas properly applied by President Cleve-land when England tried to take a part ofthe Venezuelan republic, and again in thefreeing of Cuba from Spanish rule. In re-iterating the outrages of the Spanish gov-ernment in the island of Cuba and thecontinually increasing tyranny exercisedunder the despotic rule, he said: "Then itwas our duty to interfere, and a sense ofjustice rose up in this country which re-sulted in this government taking up armsand throwing off from the island of Cubathe atrocious Spanish rule. It was rightthat we should, and with the freeing ofthat Island we acquired the Philippines,which we held, which we now hold and Ithink by all means we ought to hold inthe future, beyond any doubt."

The minister then referred to the coun-try where he now lives, and said it is timefor the United States to turn its attentionthere, with its institutions of learning andenlightenment. He said the helping handshould go farther into South America anddefined the importance of building an isth-mian railroad and constructing a Nlcarag-ua- n

canal by saying that the pending prob-lem in China will be solved in a mannerthat will make the Atlantic the back en-trance to the United States and the Pacificthe front.

Realizing the importance of educatingthe people of this southern country, hesaid he started about a year ago to teacha class of girls a course in English litera-ture. Then he was selected to organizea college, and he is now in this country topurchase supplies for the institution, whichopens Sept. 13, with an enrollment of fiftyyoung women. He said the education ofthese people is essential from a religiousas well as moral and commercial stand-point, as their manner of worship deviatesbut little from the idolatrous method oftheir ancestors. He said the Roman Catho-lics had missions, but their mode of wor-ship had become so contaminated with thepa Kan religion that prayers ascend to falsegods, instead of to the truly Supreme Be-ing.

TRAVEL ON A HOT DAY

PUOl'Li: CAHRJED 11V OVTfJOlXC AXDIXC03IIXG EXCURSIONS.

The Strect-Ilalltra- y Company Hud Oneof the nig; I)aa of Its History-Comf- ort

Hnrd to Locate.

Incoming excursion trains brought thou-sands of visitors to Indianapolis yesterday,but the outgoing trains carried more thou-sands away to other cities. The passengertraffic, as a whole, however, was not asheavy as usual. There were four out-bound excursions and only three that cameto Indianapolis.

The heaviest outgoing train was the ex-

cursion over the Big Four to Cincinnati,which carried twelve coaches, all of whichwere pretty well filled. The excursion toLouisville over the Panhandle was also wellparonlzed, the train consisting of ten well-fille- d

coaches. The excursions over theRig Four to Union City and over the L.E. & W. to Michigan City were but fairlywell patronized.

In addition to the above outgoing ex-

cursion trains were the regular Sundaytrains to Acton and Bethany, all of whichCarried away hundreds of Indianapolltansfrom their native city. But tho crowd thatcame in on the C, H. & D. excursion fromCincinnati was equally as large as the onethat left for that city by way of the BigFour. Twelve coaches were crowded totheir utmost capacity, and when the pas-sengers alighted at the Union Depot itlooked like a small army had arrived inIndianapolis. The Pennsylvania brought inan excursion from Xenia. O., Richmondand way points, the coaches being fairlywell tilled. The excursion over the BigFour from Terre Haute also brought anumber of visitors to the city.

HEAVY, STREET CAR TRAFFIC.The Indianapolis-stree- t Railway had one

of the heaviest traffic days of the year.Every car owned by the company , waspressed into service, and each car carriedtil the passengers it would hold and onemoje. Most of the crowd was bound forFalrvlew Park, but many went to River-side, Brooksldc and Garfield Parks. Thosewho felt inclined to disport themselves inand on tho water went to Broad Ripple andthe cars to that resort were crowded totheir utmost capacity. Owing to the in-tense heat those who went to the parkin the morning did not return until late inthe afternoon and evening and for that rea-bo- n

there was a time in the middle of theafternoon when the street car traffic wascomparatively light. The service of thecompany was excellent, and greatcrowds which would Bather at the cornersalong Illinois and Washington streets inhe morning would melt away as though

they were being transported by some in-visible carry-al- l. The crowd for the mostpart was a good humored one and smilesend perspiration were the order of theday. There were no serious accidents re-ported, and the hottest day in the yearpassed as any other.

I.MMEXSC CROWDS SHELTERED ATBETH AX Y AM) ACTOX.

People Enjoyed Themselves, Despitethe Interne Ilent Character of

Services at Both Places.

Yesterday was a banner day at BethanyPark and all day there was a constant in-pour-

of visitors, who came on trains, bi-

cycles and drove to the park. The groundswere crowded with old folks and youngpeople wearing gowns of every, hue andcolor, but universal in seeming to enjoythemselves in spite of the extremely warmweather. Almost every cottager on thagrounds entertained guests all day, and thegreat Bethany " family spent a Sundaywhich will live in their minds as a pleasantmemory. The day was purely a social forevery one and there were only two ser-

mons during the day, one In the morningand another in the evening.

The Bible school in the morning was con-

ducted by John Q. Thomas, of Rushville,and the morning sermon was preached byJ. A. Lord, editor of the Christian Stand-ard, of Cincinnati. He spoke on "Life'sRelationships" from the text, "No manlives unto himself." Mr. Lord said we arelargely creatures of our time and inherit-ance, and that nothing was isolated in theuniverse, but everything is related and theknowledge of the relationship of things isscientific education. The relationship ofpersons is the realm of religion. Each mindIs related to other minds as certainly ascne atom to all other atoms in the uni-verse. The tendency of the present age isto recognize the unity of relationship ofthings and persons. The old civilizationsbuilt castles and the new build bridges.The old cities' had walls to protect themfrom the outside enemies. The new citiesby railroads and telegraphs and othermeans of communication are Inviting theoutside worlds to come and dwell withintheir borders. The enemies of the new cityare all within. The church is conditionedon human soelety, and while usually bet-ter than its society is at the name time af-fected by It. It is impossible to have aperfect church In an imperfect society, sothe preachers and church must be inter-ested in all the forces that go to purifyand elevate the society in which they live.

In the afternoon a number of cottagersand visitors attended the communion serv-ice, and in the evening an address was de-livered by W. J. Russell, of Rushville. Hissubject was "Christ, the Divine Magnet,the Center of Attraction," from the text"And I, if 1 be lifted up from the earth,will draw all men unto myself." He saidIn part:

"These words are no empty boast. Theyhave stood the test of time for more than1.800 years, and have never stood so promi-nent and dominant aa at the present time.He is making His bold claims goods. Fromthe beginning great tides of thought andstirring . inquiry and mighty revolutionshave been radiating from that system ofwhich Christ is the center, so that Christi-anity is recognized to-da- y as the greatestforce in the world. Follow the bright andshining rays of the sun of righteousn?ssalong the pathway of human development.Other agencies have been at work, butChristianity Is the dominant force in theworld's history. And the world can nevercease to be distinctly Christian as long asthere is a gradual approximation to theChristian Founder. For the accomplish-ment of His world-wid- e mission He or-dained the preaching of the gospel. Forthe regeneration of mankind, for the set-tlement of tho unholy fires between laborfnd capital, there is no substitute forChrist and His blessed truth. What isneeded to-da- y is to see the uplifted Christ.Hold Him up in. the classroom, in thehome, on the streets, everywhere, and asmen shall see Him they will be changedfrom glory' to glory from character tocharacter."

IHCaCaKST CROWD FOR YEARS.

It In Estimated That Six ThonsandPeople "Were nt Acton.

The first Sunday of holiness camp meet-ing attracted thousands of people to ActonI'ark yesterday. Old cottagers on thegrounds said the crowd yesterday was thelargest in many years. Every train un-

loaded all its passengers at the campgrounds and at the gate it is estimatedthat there were at least five thousand tick-ets taken in. The manager of the hotel,who has compunctions about selling gro-ceries on Sunday, did a rushing ice creamand soda business all day and the diningloom at the hotel was crowded at everymeal. The rousing meetings at the pavil-ion attracted most of the visitors, conse-quently it was crowded both inside andaround the sides. People stood at the win-dows and in the aisles, notwithstanding theIntense heat. Rev. C. W. Ruth conductedthe morning services. An amusing incidentoccurred during the service. Mr. Ruth, aft-er an impressive sermon, took up a col-lection and before he was quite finishedsomeone in the audience began the hymn."He Touched Me," ' all unconsciously ofthe low ripple of laughter that sweptthrough the audience.

Many of the cottagers who go to Actonfor quiet were provoked yesterday morn-ing at the ringing of the pavilion bell,which began at 5:30 for the early prayermeeting. The cottagers on the square suf-fered most and were unable to secure anyrest through the day on account of themany services.

Last night the services were conducted byRev. Mr. McLauglln. Dr. Fowler will havecharge of the services to-da- y.

The late arrivals at the hotel are Mr. andMrs. James W. Tyner, of Morrlstown; Mrs.Henry C. Wiese and daughter, of Cumber-land; Mr. and Mrs. John M. Buchanan, ofCumberland; Leslie Clancy, Will Lower,of Indianapolis: Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Rog-ers, of Greensburg: Mrs. J. W. Dashiell, ofMadison.

The only three banks in Manila haveformed a ring to reduce arbitrarily andwithout justification the rate of exchangefor American gold. This has cajsed wide-spread indignation and many difficulties forcommerce and minor business. The banks,however, are obdurate.

There has been an Increase of insurgentactivity during the last three weeks, espe-cially in the way of ambushes and attackson small parties. First Lieutenant Alstat-ter, of the engineer corps, with an escortof fifteen men. was taken In ambush in theprovince; of Neuva Ecija, Luzon, by a largeforce. The Americans fought until theirammunition was gone, and. as they weresurrounded, there was nothing to do butto surrender. One man was killed andthree were wounded. General Lacuna, whowas in command of the insurgents, re-turned the wounded, with a letter promis-ing to treat the prisoners well. Lieut. Boc-to- n

Hulesberg was ambushed and killednear Santa Cruz, province of Laguna.

Five men of the Twenty-fourt- h Infantrywere captured in Neuva Ecija, but Ser-geant Schmidt, of the Twelfth Infantry,with seven men, trailed the captors andkilled five.

King, the British commis-sioner, have been setting monuments Inaccordance with the agreement reached inthe modus vivendi. Tittman states thatGlacier, Boulder Rock and other creekswhich the miners claim constituted a por-

tion of the Porcupine district are now inBritish territory. He said: "Porcupineriver and all of its affluents are defined bymodus vivendi. Glacier and Boulder Rockcreeks are on the Canadian side, and willbe so long as the modus vivendi line is rec-ognized.

"It is difficult to tell what constitutes thePorcupine district. The miners think itIncludes a great many creeks and riversnot tributary to the Porcupine. I under-stand they claim Glacier, Boulder Rock andother streams are Included in the so-call- ed

Porcupine section. If that is a fact thenmuch of the Porcupine camp lies on theBritish side. Certainly Glacier and BoulderRock do.

NEWPORT. R. I.. Aug. 5.-Su- nday golfand bridge whist for stakes, a favorite di-

version among the summer colony, werediscussed, and the fashionable folk whoplay them were severely arraigned by Rev.Dr. Braddin Hamilton, of New York, inhis sermon at All Saints Chapel this morn-ing. The congregation represented themost" exclusive social circle of the coun-

try. In part Dr. Hamilton said, after tell-ing how the whole country looks upon itssociety people as the leaders:

"Show the people of this country' thatthe boastful, vulgar, brainless spendthriftis not the Ideal citizen of this country.There are a good many people who mightbe excused If they spend Sunday in recrea-

tion and amusements, but the people ofNewport have no such excuse, and theyoung men or young women who will de-

sert church on Sunday morning and goand play golf, have very little respectfor themselves and far less for the com-munity which they are leading In thwrong. Another example, the last andprobably the moat important. U the intro-duction of petty gambling. We have rea-son to believe, with great regret, that sucha custom has been practiced and is beingpracticed in many of the cottages at New-port this season. It Is safe to say if ram-bling is established here as an amuse-ment in respectable homes, that inline ofa year this country will have ten millionmore gamblers than it has to-d- ay and themajority of them will start in their humbltfiats, surrounded by bare walls. Just atInnocently as you started here on youipiazzas, eurrounded by plants and flow-

ers" ,
