Brigadier-General Ruger late this after
noon, in regard to the lynching Of a
murderer at Walla Walla, Washington,
by party of soldiers last Friday night,
and subsequently sent the following tel
gram to the secretary OF war at Wash
SThe affair at Walla walla is very dis
creditable to army discipline. If there
is reason, as appears, to believe that the
mob was composed Of soldiers, you will
order court of inquiry and see that the
responsibility for the disgrace is fixed,
and that the guilty are brought to
prompt trial. BENZ. HARRISON.
wANAMAKER ADDRESSES SUNDAY SCHOOL.
This afternoon Postmaster-G General
Wanamaker addressed the children at
the Calvary Sunday school. He said,
on being introduced to the children: !:
"When Pm introduced to children,
like to speak to them and have them
speak to me. like to shake hands with
them. Now you have all got pro-
grammes, haven't you? Suppose you
all hold them up in the right hand like
this. Now move Them"
Soon there was rustling moving of
white above the heads of the children as
of many wings. Thus 1000 Sunday
school children shook hands with the
superintendent of the largest Sunday
school in America.
Now we're acquainted, and Pm 80
glad to be able to come here and see you
and hear your sweet songs. They are
all the same old songs we sing all over
the land: How sweet it is to think of
that, and the same old, old Bible open in
every church in the land! have been
going to Sunday school ever since was
little youngster like you, and find
that as / grow, my Sunday school
jacket grows too, and that's the
best of it. 1t is true that 1
teach Bible class in Bethany
Sunday school in Philadelphia, where
700 scholars often attend. Who will
say that there is anything better for
full grown man to do on Sunday, than
to open his Bible and study Gods way
for US to live? In all the 1000 miles I
have travelled, I've not seen so many
sweet faces, nor heard. such rare music,
as have today. You have a scriptural
land here, overfowing with milk and
honey, and full of Gods wonderful love
to the people he cares for, whether they
care Tor him or not.
Mr.. Wanamaker devoted the rest of
his talk to parable about an old mill,
Sunday sanctuary, the scriptures and
the Savior. His youthful audience was
all attention, and when it was all over,
the children looked as though they
would like to cheer.
