Father McKiniry's Sermon at st. Pat
rick's Last Night.
1.-THE Eternity Of the Pains Of He'll" was
the subject of Father McKiniry's sermon
last night at st. Patrick's. The congrega-
ton was fully as large as on any Of the pre-
ceding nights, and great interest is being
manifested in the services.
Father McKiniry pictured the horrors of
damnation In glowing language. telling
how the lost souls were constantly in tor
ment and bewailing the loss of God "What
different life they would lead,n said the
preacher, ''if they were allowed one more
chance, but that chance never comes. Peo-
pie who 60 to hell have no one to blame but
themselves. They go on from day
to day committing sin, never
thinking OF their God or the
hereafter, ana devoting all their time and
attention TO worldly affairs. Death sud-
denly swoops down upon them and they
are carried off in their sins, and before they
are capable of realizing it are cast into the
flames of hell, there 20 burn forever, with
out one moments relief
Father MoKiniry appealed to his hearers
to reflect on what awaited unrepentant
sinners in the wcrld to come, and endeavo
to live such life during their short stay on
earth as would earn for them a place
in heaven and prevent their being cast into
hell, whose pains. are for eternity, and from
which there is no redemption.
Father Powers will preach his favorite
and most noted sermon tonight at s o'clock
The subject will be, as one Religion as
Good as Another? or Indifferentism." This
is a sermon to which he has given much
study, and preached on many occasions.

KANSAS CITY'S SEAPORT.
SAVANNAH HOLDS THE VANTAGE
OF ALL OTHER PORTS.

Commissioner Vaniandingcam Of the
Kansas City Bureau OF Transporta-
ton Tells the Westerners the Great
Adyantag IS Savannah Possesses as
the Southeastern Port Of Entry for
Their Products - The Commercial
Union Between the West and South.
Commissioner A. j. Vanlandingham OF
the Kansas City transportation bureau has
returned from two weeks trip through the
south In the interest Of Kansas City. He
visited Memphis, Birmingham, Atlanta and
Macon, stopping a day in each place. He
was at Savannah two days. and while here
was interviewed by the MoRNINe NEWS.
He also visited Charleston, Port ROYAL and
Brunswick. Mr.. Vanlandingham's trip was
TO visit the Atlantic seapcrts on the
southeast and report, on his return, which
one could be most advantageously developed
for Kansas City's trade.
Kansas City's preference for a south
eastern seaport lies between three points,
he said to the Kansas City EUening times.
=" Those points are Savannah, Port Royal
and Brunswick. But am of the opinion
that Savannah is the port for Kansas City
merchants from which to receive their
advantages that the dealers Of the place
have been accorded on goods received
through that port. Next to New Orleans.
Savannah can be developed into the most
important port to Kansas City in the
southeast This is chiefly due to the close
traffic arrangements with the Missouri
Pacific and the Kansas City, Fort
Scott and Memphis railroads. The Mis-
souri, Pacific connects with the Georgia
Pacific and the Richmond and Danyille sys-
tenn through Arkansas City, Ark, and the
Fort Scott by the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia road through Memphis, and at
birmingham with the Central Georgia sys-
tenn. This system has the finest terminals
at Savannah that l ever saw on any road.
While l was at Savannah the steamship
Kansas City arrived In port from New
York. after making the fastest run in its
history. The time taken for this
trip was trihe less than forty
four hours. The finest vessels of the
southeast sail from the port OF Savannah.
Kansas City has Galveston and New Or
leans on the Gulf, and now it needs the de-
velopment OF Savannah on the Southeastern
Atlantic seaboard. The merchants and
dealers at that port all expressed a desire
to have closer relationship established
between them and the commercial men
Of Kansas City, and they are anxious TO
have them assist in building up their port
by patgonizlng the steamship lines that en-
ter there. Savannah is fast becoming an
important railroad center. A new road is
being projected now from Macon to Savan-
nah, and it may possibly go TO Colleton,
which is about twenty miles from Port
Royal A road Il also being extended from
Macon to Birmingham

But five more days remain before the

All sorts OF rumors in regard to another

but nothing conhrmatory of the movement
