About one hundred newSboys and boot
blacks. with scrupulOusly clean faces and
hands, occupied the front seats in Plymouth
church last night and listened attentively to
Col. Alexander Hogeland. the newSbOys'
friend. who addressed the congregation that
filed the nave of the church to overlooking,
for upwards of two hours on the subject,

his lecture with sketches taken from life

Row at Baptism Assumes
Alarming Proportions, and a Lady
is Seriously Injured.
There was a christening yesterday after
noon in the saloon and boarding house of
John Crotch, 491 Wabash street. About
twenty-five friends. mostly male, took ad-
vantage of the occasion to indulge in great
Publication. They jollifed until late in
the evening, when about a score of them
became deeply absorbed in a general melee.
Then it was that one man seized an armful
of beer glasses and showered them upon
the belligerents. One of the tumblers
took a wild flight and struck the
head of lady lin Mr.. Gretch's kitchen.
who was very seriously hurt. Officer
Gruber arrested one Olrich Busheger. q
butcher, on suspicion Of assaulting the
lady. As it had been stated that butcher
named Frank had done the deed, the officer
went back to the saloon to investigate
further. While he was talking to the pro-
prietor, John GrOne became exceedingly
impudent The officer advised him to say
nothing. But the man gave way to saucy
abuse. and Officer Gruber seized him, and
after standing OF about score Of the mans
friends at the muZzle of a revolver, sue
ceeded in arreSting him also. Officer
Gruber says he will prosecute Mr.. Crotch

Then she read portion of Christ's Sermon
on the Mount The speaker made the
point that in this sermon, God blessed the
very people whom the world cursed. She
carefully showed how the absence or GODS
grace in the heart is the cause of all trouble.
Men ought not to be afraid of the truth OF
God. The teachings of God in the Scriptures
as to morality cannot be improved upon by
man, and when any minister fears to pro-
claim the truth as laid down by Jesus Christ
in the fifth chapter of Matthew. it would
appear that such one would say. 81 am
greater and holier than my Master" We
must not be afraid of the truth, but live by
it and in the truth. Here the speaker al
luded to the movement in England for the
promotion of social purity. She showed
how mothers in England are now striving
to bring up their boys to have more respect
for all classes and grades of women. The
speaker told of some very revolving circum-
stances INDUCED in by persons in high
life. The manner in which young
girls from all walks of society
are being tratficked in was told.
At this juncture the pledge of the White
Gross league was read by the speaker and
passed around through the audience for
signatures.
While the pledge was being distributed,
the speaker kept right on with her lecture.
The dress of women; their usual manner
of conversation and behavior came in for
their share of rebukes. Here pledge was
read which has been adopted for women.
the principles of which, it is hoped, when
fully carried out. will give US back the good
old New England mothers we once had in
this country. The speaker now returned
to the pledge of the league for men, and
showed how the keeping and living out
such pledge would be one of the grandeSt
heritages any man could leave his family.
The speaker read many passages from
the Scriptures to prove how scriptural this
pledge is. Then she urged her audience to
so live that in the eyes of God each might
be considered a deputy king in his moral
and rel giOus life and hoped that each man
before her would consider who and what
he is, and what are his responsibilities, not
only to those around them but to himself.
There were some forty or fifty signatures
procured for the pledge.
A special song service was held at 8 D.
M, which was largely attended. Mrs. W.
\. Petty and MeSsrS Springer and Swift
sung several hymns with touching effect.
Rev. Robert Smith addressed the Gospel
meeting in the evening taking as his sub
ject, 1T Is Finished" An all day meet
ing for prayer and conference will be held
tomorrow. commencing at 10 a. M. There
will be a new leader for each hour. and
waiting Upon God, ;" Its Character and
Consequences Entire Conservation"
Working for God" Requirements and
Power for Service" will be some of the
topics considered.
