MURPHY's CONTINUAL SUCCESS
Lesson Suggested by the Day Of Pentecost
Taught by the Temperance Evangelist.

Francis Murphy's series of meetings at
Edwin Ray M. Z. Church closed last night
with an immense audience. Not only was
the church filled. but many were unable to
obtain entrance. Rev. c. w. Lee made q
fervent prayer and short speeches were
given by James Fleming. James Martin and
others. Mr.. Murphy read as the Scripture
lesson of the evening from the second chap
ter of the Acts of the Apostles:
And when the day of pentecost was fully come,
they were all with one accord in one place.
Every man." said Mr.. Murphy in his con-
cluding exhortation. has his pentecostal
day. 1t is brought about by travail and
pain. As it was in the history of the
apostles. it is through trial and tribulation
that men find ont that the day of pente-
cost Is fully come There was new de-
parture on this day of pentecost; conse-
Grafton to new purpose. to the carrying
forward of the personal conviction that
men have all sense of right. and of what
Is just. and true. and merciful. The pente-
cost was great banquet of love. 1t was
the Inauguration of the preaching of the
gospel of Jesus Christ, the beginning
of the New Testament, the ringing
of the bell of liberty. 1t was in Christian
ity what the Fourth of July was to this
Nation; it was the proclamation to all the
world in the persecution of sworn enemies
that Jesus Christ was the beginning and
the end in the salvation of men. Tonight
ls pentecostal night with some men in
this house. This day has fully come, and
they are fully persuaded. from the expert
for a new departure in conduct This is
your opportunity. The daylight of the
new year has just dawned. Will you
allow the mistakes of the past year
to increase in strength and power upon
you, or will you forsake them and embrace
this holy gospel of total abstinence. take
this VOW Of virtuOus sobriety upon you and
get the baptism of power by the grace of
God to keep your vow"
This appeal was followed by eighty-tbree
signing the pledge. At $50 o'clock yester-
day afternoon Mr.. Murphy spoke to q
deeply interested audience of workingmen
at Tucker & Dorsey's factory. and tonight

WHY HE SHOT HIMSELF.
Bad Shape of the Affairs of Supposed.to-Be
Wealthy Resident of kansas City.

KANSAS CITY. No., Jan. 3.-Guardian
Hugh Lynch. appointed to take charge of
Bernard Donrelly and his estate upon Mr..
Donnelly being declared insane. is being
overrun by claims against the estate for
sums both large and small, the aggregate
already reaching $4,000. From present in
dications MIR. Lynch is of the opinion that
the estate Will pay only o very small per
cent. of what is due from it. and many per-
sons will be great losers who can ill afford
the loss, being mostly personal friends of
Mr.. Donnelly who intrusted their money
to him for investment So far Mr.. Lynch
has not found that these funds have ever
been accounted for.
The profits of the Troost estate. of which
Mr.. Donnelly. was trustee. including the
Gillis Opera house, passed into the hands
of Mr.. Doupelly, and as yet Mr.. Lynch has
not been able to find what has become of
them. He is inclined to believe that
nothing can be found. What has become
of the money which has passed into Mr..
Donnelly's hands is a question Mr.. Lynch
is not prepared to answer. Donnelly has
some property. but all of it is incumbered
to the fullest extent.

A Hitch in the minnesota Alliance.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 3.--The refusal OF President
Donnelly at the closing session of the Minnesota
Farmers Alliance 70 provide, in his new consti-
tution, for the election of delegates TO the
tional meeting, to be held in Omaha, in q few
weeks, is regarded by many OF the delegates as
a well contrived plan to swing the Minnesota
Alliance into adopting the methods OF the South
ern wing of the organization. National Lecturer
Ashby, of Des Moines, Ia, who has taken
active part in the three days session or the Min
nesota Alliance, says: "As the constitution was
not legally adopted, and the Minnesota Alliance
has not legal organization, in my opinion the
State will be reorganized, as the true Alliance

HERE is A QUEER ROMANCE
A Successful Old Gold-Digger Searches
Twenty Years for His Only Daughter.
He Finds Her at Last. Apparently to His Great
Joy, and Then Mysteriously Disappears
as Completely as Before.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-About q year ago
William Bennett came to New York from
California to look for his daughter Sarah.
Bennett had gone out to California during
the gold craze of 1S49, and had left his wife
and baby daughter in this city until he
had laid the foundation of his fortune and
was in position to bring them out there.
He wrote to his wife constantly for year
or two, and she was equally prompt in re-
plying, but after that there came a time
when neither heard from the other. Ben
nett thought that the wife was untrue to
him. 1t was not until ten years later that
he learned that she was dead.
He wrote repeatedly to the Brooklyn DO
lice, but could never discover what had be-
come OF the little girl Then he advertised
suits. At last. when his fortune was made,
he came on here TO conduct the search him.
self. He was getting old, and he wanted to
have one at least of his own kin to be with
him to share in the fortune ne had earned.
Year followed year but he could find no
trace of the daughter. and yet he would
not give up hope.
At last, about a month ago, he heard
purely by accident that when bis wife had
died the little girl. Sarah. had been
next-doOr neighbor. Bennett found that
Newcombe was now living at S94 Gates av-
enue. He called there and learned from
Mr.. Newcombe that his daughter was etill
alive and well. She had lived with the
Newcombes until she had grown up. Then
she had married happily, and now she was
q middle aged woman with several chill
dren. Newcombe took Bennett to her house
In Brooklyn and clearly established her
identity. Old Bennett was almost beside
himself with delight and stayed to dinner
and throughout the evening. Then he
put his coat on, and after kissing his
daughter good night. told her that he was
going to pack his things up and in the
morning he was coming back to her again
and they should never he separated any
more. She kissed him and watched him GO
down the street, but from that time to this
she has never seen him.
The Brooklyn papers have published the
following advertisements: IF William
Bennett, who was looking for his daughter
Sarah for twenty years and found her, will
call on j. H. Newcombe, of No. S94 Gates
avenue. he will hear of something to his
advantage" AS yet no answer has been re-
celved to 1t. however, and Mr.. Newcombe
does not know what to think Of the mys-
terious affair.

designate those taking part in them by some
thing more than their surnames. Mr.. Smith and
Mr. Brown, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Johnson may be
well enough known among their co-workers in
science politics, philanthropy or religion. These
appellations. however, are somewhat vague and
unsatisfactory when put into type for perusal by
less prominent people on the earth. The harrow
