M. BoERTA, the Belgian secretary
of Tippoo Tib, has arrived in Brussels.
He reports that before he left Tippoo
Tib he sent large caravan with sup
plies to Stanley. He says he heard at
Stanley Falls that Stanley had fought
a battle at Lake Albert Nyanza, and
the letters describing the fight should
reach England soon. Boerta repre-
sents that Tippoo Tip was himself
searching for the murderer of Major
Bartellot. 1t this is rue, the bringer
of news must have eft Stanley Falls
before the arrest, trial and execution
of the murderer, which was reported
some time ago. A dense mystery sur
rounds the movements of Stanley and
the advices brought by M. Boerta only
serve to increase it.

UNFAIR TO THE BLACKS,

So Says Rev. e. E. Locke, of the o. s.. In Ad-
dressing Veterans Sons.
Memorial Day was observed in advance
by Andrew Carnegie Camp No. 1852, Sons
OF Veterans, last evening. They attended
services at Smithfeld Street M. E. Church.
The church was beautifully decorated with
banners and tropical plants. When Rev.
Charles E. Locke commenced his address,
the house was filled to overfowing. He
took his text from /. Timothy, vi, II,
Eight the good fight" and chose as his
theme, "Battles of Peace" The address
was strong ope and eloquent. The follow
ing is brief outline:
If were to take my stand at the national
cemeteries at Gettysburg, Arlington Heights
or Chalmette, and with magic power were able
to bring forth from their resting places the
soldier boys who sacrificed their lives for their
country. and were to make the inquiry, Nv nat
message shall carry to the Sons of Veterans and
friends on this EVENING" there would come
back one surging. simultaneous reply, "Tell
them to be true to the principles for which we
The speaker then divided the subject into
three heads the first being "They Fought Tor
Freedom" Under this he discussed the negro
question. He thought that the Government
was not doing right by the blacks, and that ap-
preparations should be made to educate them
He said that '6,000000 of black faces are
asking to-day, What are you going to do for
the principles for which your fathers diedp"
Under the head of ''They Fought for Home"
the speaker told of hardships of the soldiers
and their pIivations, that the hreside in the
home might be free from the ravages OF war,
and the Union be saved from harm. He then
went on to show the foes of the home to-day
in the way of Sunday desecration, social evils,
intemperance, etc.
The third head was 'sThey Fought for God. F"
The points in this were fully brought out, and
the address and the services closed with an
eloquent appeal to those present to stand by
the principles of their fathers.

GRAPE FOR SALOONS.
That is the Suggestion of Ed. Murpby-He
Addresses 2,5OO People In a Grove

That ts the Suggestion OF Ed. murpby-He
Addresses 2,5OO People in a Grove
Formation and Reformation.
Probably the largest temperance meeting
held during the amendment campaign was
that in Silver Lake Grove yesterday after
noon. It was estimated that $500 people
were on the platform and in the grove. The
audience was composed very largely of men,
among whom were some of the most promi-
nent residents of the East End.
7. Edward Murphy, the speaker of the oc-
casion, was introduced by JOS r. Hunter as
''The Napoleon of the temperance cause,
and, after the tumult of applause had SUBJ
sided, young Mr.. Murphy said:
There was time in the history of this land
when reformation, not formation was badly
needed. And 1t did not come peacefully, but
through the force Of more potent measures
But to-day the supremacy of right prevails and
the Americans boast of free, glorious coun-
try All the reforms to which reference has
been made have been advocated for many years
by the minority of the people; and people
should not set temperance reform down as
wrong, because possibly, minority OF the peo-
men are moved by the popular side OF thing
If they think the amendment is going to carry,
they get on and ride through with it; but if It
fails they will stand on the street corner wink
at their friends, and say: 81 told you So"
1 have heard SO many people say they could
take drink and let it alone: but do not know
why none of them ever began to let it alone
The thought. the loyalty and patriotism have
been thoroughly aroused in Pennsylvania and
if the amendment is defeated on June I& its
supporters will have the consolation of know
ing they were in the right; and right will event.
ually triumph.
Moderate drinking is the direct cause of in
temperance, and when man gets SO far as to be
under the complete control of liquor, he loses
his physical, civil and religious liberties
He referred to the condemnation heaped
upon the movement by reason of its con-
nection with W. c. T.. o. work. He said
he took no stock in denuncistion, and he
was particularly opposed to criticising the
women's work. 1t strikes directly at the
virtue and sacredness of the home. When
a big, healthy, broad-shouldered man steps
on platform and denounces women, he
possesses decided lack of chivalry, and,is
not representative type of Pittsburg man
hood.
In behalf of the labor market Mr.
whisky, 40 cents returned to the labor mar
ket, while statistics show that, out of S.
paid for clothing, 81 % go back into this
market. In support of this statement he re-
ferred to a distillery not far from Pittsburg,
in which $3.50, 900 is invested, and where, he
said, less than 20 men are given employ
ment. Mr.. Murphy closed his address as
follows:
Let us rise up in the dignity of our manhood
on June Is and say to this curse, THUS far
shalt thou 90, and no further. Here shall thy
black cloud be stayed" Let us hang Grape on
the door of every saloon and distillery in this
and let us bury it SO deep that it can never have
a resurrection.

LIBERTY, MOLLY AND THE BABT.
What Was Talked About ut the Opera House
Prohibition Meeting,

In opening the Opera House Prohibition
meeting last night John W. Moreland said
he was surprised Saturday night to hear so
much from the German "antis" of the
Southside on personal liberty. Many of
those exponents, he said, had fed from Ger
many to escape compulsory servitude in the
German army. Personal liberty, as estab-
lished by Americans, was good enough for
him.
S. A. Haines, a business man of New
York, was the principal speaker. The col
ored quartet had sung a song about "Molly
and the Baby" and Mr.. Haines took this
for his text. He said the question was no
longer in the hands of the professional pol
iticians, in the hands of the religious bod
les, in the hands of the churches, or in the
hands of the societies. 1t is being consid-
cred and will be decided by those people
who have "Molly and the baby" the men
who realize that there is something else to
live for beside the pleasures OF the moment.
Mr.. Haines quoted from the New York
Tribune, which declared that the liquor
traffic debased manhood, degraded woman
hood, deirauded childhood, and put a mort
gage on every cradle in the land. He de-
cried high license.

Dedication of Prosperous, Headless
Church-The Minister Was Jealous and
Quit-A Singular Circumstance.

Dedication of Prosperous, Headless
Church-The Minister Was Jealous and
QuiI-A Singular Circumstance.
St. Peters Lutheran Church, on the cor
ner of Station street and Collins avenue,
East End, was dedicated yesterday with ap-
propriate ceremonies. The new church,
which is of brick with stone trimmings, was
filled even to an uncomfortable degree. The
interior was handsomely decorated with
potted plants and evergreens.
The dedicatory services took place in the
morning. Rev. w. Passavant, of the En-
glish Evangelical Lutheran Church, pre-
sided. The dedicatory sermon was in Ger
man, and was preached by Rev. o. W.
Schettler, of Massillon, O.; the ceremony of
blessing the new edifce was performed by
Rev. w. Schaffer, of Allegheny. Other
services are reported as follows:
In the afternoon Rev. Mr.. Passavant
preached sermon in English, commencing
the church to God. The speaker told of the
growth of Christianity in this country, and
said that to-day Christianity is a mighty power
in this land giving yearly $40 900 to the sup
port of the gospel. Rev. Mr.. Hellenkamp, of
Sharpsburg, preached sermon in German
In the evening services were again held and
Rev. Mr.. Schaffer, of Allegheny, preached the
sermon.
The absence of the regular pastor was a
matter of some comment, and the reason is
that Rev. H. Schmidt, who was the pastor.
has suddenly given up charge of the church
and gone to Illinois. His sudden seyeriug
of his connection and departure was caused
by dispute between the gentleman and the
members of his congregation. Rev. Mr..
Schmidt, it seems, was bitterly opposed to
secret societies, and often denounced them
from the pulpit oi the old church. Some of
the members of the congregation who were
also members of secret organizations. took
exception to this, and, for time, there was
a lively row.
Peace, however, was patched up and
everything moved along smoothly until the
arrangements for the dedication of the new
church came up. The question of an assist
ant minister at the services caused the
trouble. The congregation wanted an Eng
lish speaking minister to assist in the ser
vices, as there would be many present who
could not understand German. Rev. Mr..
Schmidt, however, insisted that the minis
ter be selected from the Synod of which he
was a member. The trustees refused to do
this and the result was that when the an
nouncement of the assistant was made
known Rev. Mr.. Schmidt packed up and
departed for Illinois. A new pastor for the
church has not yet been selected.
The new edl6ce was erected at a cost of
SIS, 900 and rs nearly paid for. The new
organ cost s., 200.

An Illinois Clergyman Believes philadelphia
Will Go for Prohibition.
Rev. DR.. Spencer, of Illinois, who will
lecture in this State until after June IS,
gave an address at an amendment meeting
in North Avenue M. E. Church yesterday
afternoon. The speaker said that when he
was in Philadelphia, some two weeks
ago, the temperance people were feel
ing rather down-hearted, but that
the tide had turned decidedly in the inter
vening time, and they are now confident Of
carrying Philadelphia for the amendment
bv large majority. He said that, if as
much progress was made in the next 20 days
as in the last ten, the amendment would be
carried, sure.
The rest of the address was taken up in
comparing the Pennsylvania Railroad sys-
tenn to the Railway of Rum and Ruin"
(the liquor trafic), and picturing the good
done by each, the benefits, expenses, etc.
