At WAR WITH SATIN
Booth Outlines the
Plans of His Army.
FIGHTING FOR PEACEFUL vICToRI
General Booths New Plan to be Tried in the
United States-The Growth
of the Army.

New YORK, Dec. 2, 1890. Special cor
respondence of THE HERALD. General
Booths great social scheme propounded in
the volume "In Darkest England and the
Way OUT will unquestionably place the
army before the world in new light. The
National headquarters in New York has in
structed the divisional officers in several
of our largest cities to obtain facts and sta
tistics respecting those cities, for the pur-
pose of discovering how far the plan pro
posed for Great Britain can be adopted in
the United States. 1t is expected, how
ever, that several weeks will elapse before
anything definite will be decided upon in
this direction.
The Salvation Army is fact in the
United States, and there is little room fol
doubt that it is destined 10 exercise an i'm,
portant influence for good or evil upon 6
large part of our population.
1t is nine years since the first officers
landed here, and the work that we see to
day has been achieved principally during
the last six years, and in the teeth of many
and great difficulties. Still the United
States wing of tbs army holds the fort IN
AS corps and outposts, and LIPS officers
are laboring exclusively to promote the OBJ
iects that the leaders have in view. There
are four corps in New York city, six il
Brooklyn, one in Jersey City, two in Phil
adelphia, one in Cincinnati, four in Detroit
two in Buffalo, ten in Chicago, four in Kan
sas City, four in Minneapolis, two in st
Paul, two in Nashville, and four in Sar

salvation for themselves, they are urged to
become witnesses for God, and to put forth
every possible effort for the deliverance OF
others from such misery as they themselves
have Just been raised from.
Of scarcely less Importance is the in
fluenne of the army on the denominations
of the Christian church. BY precept and
example-especially the latter-are all who
profess 10 be the children of God melted to
leave their comfort and ease, and devote
their energies to the conversion Of sinners.
1t remains to be seen to what extent Gen
eral Booths great social scheme, set forth
in his book = In Darkest England and the
Way Out" can be and will be applied in
this country, but the army can safely count
upon the sympathy and support of all right
thinking citizens-irrespecti of creed-in
all efforts put forth for the mental, physi-
cal or spiritual alterations of the miseries
of suffering humanity,

Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Salt

Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Salt
Lake city, Helena, Montana, Denver, st.
Louis, Des MONIES, Topeka and Austin.
Texas, are among the more prominent
cities in which the army is established.
If it be inquired in what the fork done
by the army consists, the reply is the
spread of the salvation of God among the
masses of the people. The army claims
that the cause of all the ills that afflict man
kind is sin, 1t says that God is both. able
and willing to deliyer every human being
from its power as well as it's guilt; also
that this salvation can be realized here on
earth. 1t proclaims to all VINO are willing
to forsale sin complete rescue from it, and.
of course, salvation from the cause involves
salvation from the effect. When drund-
ard gets converted, therefore, his poverty
and temporal Indebtedness are speedily
things of the past, and the man who was re-
Gently not only miserable in his life himself
but a burden to his fellow citizens, becomes
sober and contented member of the COM
munitv, a tax payer, and. usually, in add
ton to these, an earnest and seif-denying
laborar fer the good Of others.
Cases Of this Kind can be found at almost
any corps to which an inquirer may choose
to make his way. Wives and children bear
joyful testimony to the change in their lives

an amount of this kind OF treatment that Is
not initiated so much further east The
Improvement we note is probably due
partly TO the publicity given TO the army's
social and industrial schemes, as also to
better acquaintance with tue army itself
on the part of the general public. OF course
the liquor interest cannot be expected to
look upon our progress with a friendly eye,
and where we do experience rough treat
ment, we generally attribute it to the open
or secret agency of the saloon, often sup
plemented by the resources of others who
get gain from the sins and vices of the peo-
pie.
The direction in which the power Of the
army is chiefly felt is, undoubtedly, in the
reclamation of those who are often thought
TO be past hope. Many OF these regard the
question of their own improvement with
the same despair that is felt by many who
have tried to benefit them. The army
comes along with its joyful, lively songs,
and testimonies of hope and deliyerance.
In the first place the people are attracted,
in the next they are inspired with hope;
then they are prevailed upon to repent and
abandon their evil courses. Then when
they have proved the power of God unto

would give up sin and accept the gospel. 1t
is not difficult for ignorant persons to rld1-
cule the uniform worn by Salvationists, to
find fault with their musical efforts, and to
sheer at them because, like the early apOS-
ties, they may be unlearned ana ignorant
men so far as the wisdom and knowledge
of this world go. But the army can afford
to regard this treatment with indifference
while the visible and tangible results are
to be found in such abundance in all parts
CT the world.
No outcast is so low, no human beng so
degraded, as to be beyond the sympathy
and effort of the Salvation Army. Yet are
they not fools in dealing with those who
seek their aid. A person who thought he
could, by working on their feelings, obtain
a living out of them, would find out that
very important article Of the army's relig
ious belief is. that if man will not work
he has no right to eat.
The ways in which the army places its
message before those with whom it has to
deal are endless. but they are all of them
eminently successful The proof of this is
to be found in the army's success in every
country it occupies. Its ranks are re-
cruited from French atheists and German
free thinkers; Belgium anarchists and
Bombay parsees, are enlisted under the
same colors as Australians, Zulus, Scandi-
navians and Canadians. All ranks and con-
ditions of men and women are enrolled as
its officers, from those who have had uni
versity advantages and high social position
to those who have been, in army parlance,
picked up out of the gutter" Further
more, ali these people do all their work
without earthly reward. There is not one
who has any salary guaranteed, nor is
! there one who receives sufficient remuner-
| alton to enable him or her to make any pro
vision for the future. Yet the number of
these officers daily increase at an astonish-
ing rate.
The latest official figures give the number
of corps and outposts for the whole world
as 3,795; differed by 9.475 persons wholly
engaged in the work. In different parts of
the world there are thirty three Rescue

The building is two-story BRICK struc-
ture, erected at cost of thirty thousand
dollars, with seating capacity of nine
hundred. 1t is well ventilated, lighted
throughout by incandescent light and gas,
has three fire exits, and, In fact, all the
modern improvements necessary for a
place OF amusement. The plans were drawn
by E. NJ. Ulmer, and executed by Con-
tractor &. l.. Crane, and the scenery was
painted by G. A. Holland, the celebrated
artist OF Boston. Ii is the intention of the

homes for fallen women, thirty three SUM
posts, and ten prison gate brigades. The
army publishes, in fifteen languages,
twenty-seven weekly and fifteen monthly
journals, having circulation per anuum of
80, 400, GOO copies.
The number of countries and colonies oc-
cupied is thirty-four and the number of
languages spoken by the officers is twenty
nine. The number of weekday religious
meetings per week is a, 500.
In the United States the army has 445
corps and out-posts, and already |, l25 COM
manding officers. There are Rescue homes
at Grand Rapids and San Francisco; Train
ing garrisons in New York, Brooklyn. Bos
ton, Cleveland, Englewood, Des Moines,
Omaha, San Francisco and Oakland. The
circuiatioRs of the New YORK and San
Francisco IVdr-Crys amount to over 400, 0
copies weekly.
Chicago is the city where the army has
the greatest number OF corps, although
Brooklyn and Boston are probably good
seconds The paucity of large buildings,
the high rentals, the lack of open air privi-
leges and other circumstances beyond the
army's control, have proved great obstacles
in some large centres But the army be
lieves in no retreat, and continues ploddlng
on its characteristic way and in the near
future will, doubtless, much improve its
position in the cities.
The National headquarters is Ill Reade
street, New York city. Here the Vdr-Cry
is edited and printed, and the secretaries
in charge of the finance, trade, field, candi-
date and auxiliary property, statistical de-
partments, have their Offices. From TINS
building the direction of toe whole work in
tue United States is directed by Commis
siorer Ballington Booth, who is ably as
sisted by Mrs. Balhugton Booth, and by
Colonel Evans, and capable staff OF men
and women.
There is also store for the sale of army
literature. articles of uniform, musical IN
struments. etc. Behind this Is hail large
enough to seat about two hundred people,
sometimes used for meeting purposes The
printing presses occupy the basement.

For the last forty two years l have

OFF the cold, but act as a tonic.
We are frequently affected with rheu

Forty Minutes

Traffic on the Rapid Transit line running
south to Forest Dale mas increased TO such
rate that Superintendent Upham has put
on forty minute service between here and
Forest Dale instead of a sixty minute
service. In addition TO this, the Rapid
Transit company has inaugurated an after
theatre car, which will wait till the dis
missal Of the theatre every night and run
TO Forest Dale. This puts people in that
locality on the same footing with those
residing close in, and will no doubt re-
dound TO the benefit Of the enterprising

instrumental in securing the new service
