At THEIR OLD TRICKS.
Martin Van Buren, Bennett Talks Third
Party Prohibition at q Church Meet

Martin Van Buren, Bsnnstt Talks Third
Party Prohibition At q Church Meet
Ing.
Third-party prohibition seems prone to
thrust itself into public notice with an utter
disregard for time and place. There has
been many illustrations Of this prOneness
to evil in this city, and last night records
another.
As announced in Saturdays papers the
Society of Christian Endeavor held their
bi-monthly literary meeting at the Third
Lutheran church Sunday night. During
the evening Mr.. Charles Heckert, q student
In the theological department Of Witten-
berry college, was called upon and made .
very sensible, forcible and temperate
temperance talk. He was followed
by Mr.. Martin Van Buren Bennett
in very Incorporate third party prohibi-
tion speech, in which he took occasion to
refer TO MIR. Heckert in anything but COM
plimentary language. His utterances were
applauded by his adherents and Mr.. Heck
ert, feeling that he had been insulted,
rose TO reply and In so doing
called forth replies from the other
side and "a war OF words" followed, which
might be characterized as disgraceful when
the occasion and place are remembered.
Will these third-party people never learn
that Sunday evening church meeting is
not the place to talk politicss

The Harpers Secure a French Artist to
sketch Washineton Charactera


WASHINGTON, May Paul Renaurd, the
French artist has been making sketches at
the Capitol during the past week and will
be employed at the same work for several
weeks to come. He was brought over here
by the Harpers specially for this work. He
will contine himself 10 sketches OF Con-
gress exclusively. Catching the express
sion of the human face is his great forte.
He is sketching all the most prominent
individuals and all the most characteristic
groups of both Houses The work he has
already completed includes individual
sketches of Speaker Carlisle, Messrs. Mills,
Cox, Reed and other leading men, and q
groupsof the Ways and Means committee
at work. The subjects took rather Frenchy
and the effect is vastly different from the
wooden portraits that appear in American
newspapers. 1t happened that ON Tuesday
afternoon the artist went to the Senate to
sketch Mr.. ingalls,, but the only thing he
secured was very vivid and Interesting
picture of the exterior of one of the doors
opening into the Reserved Gallery"
The sketch shows throng of men, women
and children crushing each other, standing
on each other, climbing ON chairs benches
and all sorts of things and passing and
perspiring only to catch a glimpse of the
interior or to hear a few sylables of the
speech that was being made With such q
press upon that entrance the painted in
scription above the door Reserved Gal
lery" seems quite humorous. The rear of
that crowd at the door Of the gallery was
the nearest approach the French artist
could then make to the distinguished gem
tlemen whom he desired to sketch and to
whom so many people were listening With
such close attention.
