Rev. George Henry Dole, the pastor
Of the New Jerusalem. OF as perhaps

found and instructive discourse, hut
too extensive and intricate t. be fully
comprehended n such a brief pre>'n-
tauon. ihc mann pomtr Of the doctrine
touched on We're. that there IS hut one
cod. cmhodvlng the three persons tho
Father. Son and Holy Ghost; that th,
second coming Of God a. promised in
Holy Writ has already occurred, and
that lie has come.
Ills first coming was IN the word a.
revealed and written and the second n
the higher spiritual understanding of
the truths OF the word. He illustrated
with the story OF Moses bringing down
from the mountain the Commandments
written hv the Divine finger ON tablet
OF stone. which hc threw down and
broke. and that afterwards other men
who began L. realize the truths gathered
up th, fragments and st them mp in
thc law. He declared that none 81 the
Divine revelations were at iIst ac-
ccptcd. hut science has seen their per-
feet truth and relations with nycrv

ROCHE WILL CONTEST 1t
The Recent Municipal Election in
Chicago Found to be Illegal.
A Decision OF the Illinois Supreme
Court Makes This a Fact.
1t is Evident That Roche Will Take
Every Advantage OF it.

CHICAGO, April 6.-The politicians of
this city has been astonished by the an
nouncement that it is discovered that the
recent municipal election of this city
was illegal, and that it is within the power
of any ci,iz n to overthrow it. This state
of affairs grows out of the decision rend
cred by the supreme court, which was
rendered since the election was held.
Last November the suburban of Bright
on Park and Cicero were, by the vote of
their people, annexed TO Chica-
go. The village officers of
both places however contested the matter
and 1t has since been pending IN the
courts. The decision Of the court annex
ed the territory to the townships Of south
and west Chicago, but did not operate to
make il part of the city, the power TO
extend the limits OF which rests entirely
with the city council. There lies the
trouble. The law of the state provides
that whenever all of a township lies within
the limits of q city, the city election shall
be held on the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in April, and where the
township is not ali included wlthIt the
city limits the election shall be held on
the third Tuesday il April. Under the
decisions of the supreme court notifying
the annexation of Brighton Park and
Cicero to the towns of West and South
Chicago city, does not entirely cover the
townships, and, therefore, the municipal
election should have been held A prll 23rd.
Moreover, the law requires twenty days
notice of the election shall be given, and
as the time is too short between date and
the third Tuesday in April for legal
notice, it seems questionable whether
mistake can be rectitied by new election
on that dale. Wide fields of speculation are
open as to the possibility of reversing
the verdict of the people in the recent
political land slide. 1t is claimed that If
the present republican administration Is
willing to Invoke the law it can hold over
and prevent newly elected democrats
from taking their seats. It Is said that
Mayor Roche has consulted the corpora
ton counsel in regard to matters, unt it
cannot be learned that any decision was
reached.
CHICAGO, April 8.-This evening a resi-
dent OF the annexed territory, applied 10
Judge Jameson for An mi JUNCTION res
training the election commissioners from
counting or declaring the votes cast
The ground taken was that the residents
of the annexed strip, having no notice of
election, were deprived of their electoral
rights, vitiating the whole election. The
applicant was armed with a recommends
ton from master in chanUery that the
il auction be issued. Judge Jameson
set the matter for hearing at 10 a. N. to-
morrow.

Honered by a Banquet in New York City.
New YoRK, April S.-The base ball men
of this city rendered testimonial ban
qutt to night at DelmonioO's to the base
ball tourists who have just returned from
a trip around the world. They had
warm reception from the $50 guests as
sembled. The djcipg room was profuse
ly decorated. A. G. Mills, ex-President
of the league presided. When the
guests were seated, j. a. Twitchell
offered prayer. The announcement that
the nine innings of dishes were ready for
the feast was made by Mr.. Mills with
the familiar base ball word, "play."
Among the notables at the table were
Mayor Chaplin, of Brooklyn, Mayor
Cleveland, of Jersey City, Hon. Chauncey

Henry E Rowland, Erastus Winan and
Consul G. w. Griffin, of Melbourne, Aus
tralia.
When cigars had been lighted Chair
man Mills said the gathering had been
called for the pose of doing honor to
one branch of fhe manly sports, and that
was base ball. 81 spoke of the successful
world circling trip of the boys. Letters
of regret were read from governors of
New York, New Jersey aud Connecticut,
as we'll AS from Mayor Grant. The speak

E1-Secretary Endicott Wants the English OF
it, We Know.
WASHINGTON, April Sex Secretary
Eudicott in company with his successor,
Secretary Proctor, called on the president
this afternoon. He afterwards talked
quite freely with reporter. He said he
felt relieved at being once more a private
citizen, and added: 'The presi-
dent does not seem to be look
ing very we'll; he evidently
needs rest. The Americrn people put too
much strain on presidents. The work
ought to be delegated, and the time is
near at hand when it will have to be. Our
great need is more extended civil ser
vice. This is the only governm ent
where there is scramble for an Office
undignihed, unpatriotic; and until
tenure is made secure and places are
filed with good men the president will
be overburdened. Look at England.
There is free government, and there the
men who desire to enter the employ of
the government are tested thoroughly,
and if found competent are offered every
In5ucement to stay in the service.
Within the life time of the generation
now being born there will be in this
country an army of officials three hun
dred thousand strong. Then the
civil service will be a necessity, and
then the president will have TO be
relieved of his drudgery of the appoint
ments by the heads of the departments
and bureaus because no ole man will be
able to do the work. The reform would
not commence too soon if it were put
into operation at once"

BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY
The President of the United States
Calls Attention to Them
And Must Return Thanks on the
Thirtieth of April.
The River Land Settlers in Iowa
Are Full of Wrath.

WASHINGTON, April 5-The following
proclamation was issued this afternoon,
by the president of the United States of
America.
A hundred years have passed since the
government which our forefathers found.
ed was formally organized. At noon, on
the 9th day of April, seventeen hundred
and eighty nine, in the city of New York,
and in the presence of the assemblage of
heroic men, whose patriotic devotion had
led the colonies to victory ard indepen-
dence, George Washington took the oath
OF officer of the new born republic.
This impressive act was presided
at uine o'clock in the morning in all
churches of this city by prayer for GODS
blessing on the government and its first
president. The centennial of this illus
trious event in our history has been de-
clared general holiday by the act of con-
gress to the end, that the people of the
whole country may join in commemora-
ton of the exercises appropriate to the
day.
In order that the Joy of the occasion
may be associated with keep thankfulness
in the minds of the people for
all our blessings Of the past, and devout
supplication to God for their gracious
continuance in the future, representa-
lives of religious creeds, both Christian
and Hebrew, have memoralized the gov
eminent to designate an hour for prayer
and thanksgiving on that day.
Now, therefore, l, Benjamin Harrison,
president of the United States of Amer
ica, in response to this pious and reason
able request, do recommend that Tues
day, April 30th, at the hour of O'Clock
in the morning, the people of the en-
tire country repair TO their
spective places of divine wor-
ship to implore the favor of
God that the blessings of liberty,
prosperity and peace may abide with as
as people, and that His hand may lead
US in the path of righteousness and good
deeds.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set
nv name and caused the seal of the
United States of America to be affixed.
Done in the city of Washington, this 4th
day of April, in the year of our Lord,
one thousand eight hundred and eighty
nine, and independence of the United
States one hundred and thirteen.
BENJAMIN HARRISON.

JUDGEMENTS CONFIRMED
Six Important Cases Decided in Favor
of the City of Waterfowl.
The United States Court Affirms the
Decisions of the Lower.
ennsYlvania Outlaws Committing
Outrages in West Virginia.

WASHINGTON, April 8-The supreme
court Of the United States today rendered
an opinion in cases Nos. 1876 and 1877,
Henry, Amy and Gustavus L. Hopper
stedt; Nos. 1913 and 1913, Edwin E. Kao"l-
ton, ana Nos 200 and pol, executors of
William S. PiersoD, deceased, all plaintiffs
in error, vs.. the city of Watertown, in
error, to circuit court of the United States
for the western district of Wisconsin.
These are all suits brought to recover
value of bonds issued by the city of
Waterfront. The city's charter says
that all suits against the
CITY must be by service of process
on the mayor and the law of Wisconsin
declares the euit shall not be considered
to have commenced until tho process had
been served. The plaintiff in these cases
served the process on the various city of
fictrs but were unable to serve the pro-
cess on the mayor for the reason that
that officer, to eIude service, resigned his
office as soon as sworn III. In 1883 the
city voluntarily entered appearance IN the
suits brought against 1t, alleging
the actions were barred by
the statute of limitations, The plaintiffs
demurred to this plea on the grounds
that service mad been made or attempted.
That suit therefore mad been begun With
in the time prescribed by the statute Of
Limitations, aud that conspiracy to de-
fraud them existed on the part of the
citv officers. The circuit court gave
judgments for the city, however, stating
that under the Wisconsin laws the suite
could not be held TO have begun until
actual service of process, and that this
not having been done within the pre-
scribed time the sui-s were barred. This
court, in opinions by Justice Bradley,
affirms these Judgments. The
court hold it must follows
the opinions OF the state courts in this
matter and that it can grant no relief
unless the constitution of the United
States is violated, which is not alleged
The courts, it says, have no power III
such cases. The states have right to
enact laws of the character involved IN
these cases and appeals must be made to
the legislature and not to the courts. The
question OF conspiracy is disposed OF
with the statement that a charge of fraud
cannot lie against a municipal corpora
ton. Judgments affirmed.

another Letter From Stanley.

LONDON, A cil S.-Henry NJ SANKEY'S
letter to the Royal Geographical society
was read at meeting of that body this
evening. The letter consists mainly of
repetition of what has already been pub
Iished. He describes at length the varI-
Gus devices by which the natives endeav-
ored to prevent the advance of the expe-
dition. One of these was to dig shallow
pits across the path of the column and
fill them with skewers, which were gently
covered leaves. The skewers pierced
