Had to Close the Doors.


At no o'clock, or twenty minutes before
the advertised hour for the meeting to open.
the order was given to close the L street
doors and to admit no more people. This
order found 200 people already on their way
into the building and up the stairway. and
these were turned back to meet the steadily
flowing stream of newcomers arriving from
all directions. 1t is safely estimated that
there were six or seven thousand people
turned away from the hall after rs o'clock.
By this time the pressure on the K street
doors was growing serious. and the ushers
and policemen on duty there were besieged
with all sorts and conditions of men and
women without tickets, who were endeavor-
ing on one pretense and another to get
through the jealousy watched portals. One
nervous little old lady protested: But l
must get in!'
why must your demanded the police
man.
Because 1 am the organist's mother. and
I've got to get in
She got in.

Nor must you think that because Christ

And we are looking for supernatural things
and for miracles now, today, right here in

majority of the people in front were glad
to watch the stage, which was rapidly filling
up with ministers and distinguished men
who had been invited to places on the plat
form. The members of the committees and
the pastors of the cooperative churches
were busy In consultation with two stout
ish men who sat at the front. They wore
their overcoats, the hall being just bit
chilly at first.

Two Men Interested.

One of them. the stouter of the two sat
in the center. in the slightly raised pulpit
containing a small organ. His keen eyes
twinkled over the great hall and took In the
enormous audience with pleased glances
This man. with a full beard. white in front
and brown at the sides. was the great lead
err. Moody. His short, stout figure just fitted
comfortably into arm chair that stood
by the side of the organ.
The other man took more interest in the
great choir at the back of the stage, grow
ing larger momentarily. His rather English
whiskers were gray, and his eyes, as they
ran over the pages Of hymn book in his
hands, were aided by a pair of powerful
glasses. This was the barytone evangelist
whose name has been inseparably linked
with the other for years, Sankey.
Shortly before the hour for the commence
ment of the meeting had arrived word
reached the platform of the crowds of dis
appointed people that were being turned
away. and. after a hasty consultation, 1T
was decided to hold an overflow meeting at
the Assembly Church. on the corner of 9TH
and / streets So notice was sent out 20 the
doors to this effect and within five minutes
the little edifice, which is about two blocks
away. was completely filled, and yet there
were hundreds who could not find entrance.
Mr.. Sankey attended to this meeting after
he had sung two solos at the big hall.

prayed for a few moments fervently for the
grace that should enter into the spirits of
those who had just heard him, to enable
them to take the book that he had given
them and to believe il all.

out break, after he had said amen" He
raised his hands, the entire throng rose.
and in another moment he had dismissed
the vast crowd and had instructed the choir
to sing while the people were passing out
Hymn after hymn swelled forth, and the
chorus not only sang the congregation out
of the building, but went on and did little
practicing for tonights meeting.
Great Success.
So ended the first of the Moody and San
key meetings. 1t was such success as
Washington has seldom seen. 1t was the
greatest religious gathering that has ever
been held in the city. 1t was purely unde-
nominational. Episcopalians sitting next to
P-esbyterians. and beyond them Metho-
dists. and then Baptists. and so on, through
all the varieties of sects and creeds. All
agreed that IL the success of the night is TO
be continued Washington will experience
the greatest religious awakening that It has
ever known.
The arrangements at the hall were excel
lent There was no crowding, no confusion
The ushers adopted the excellent pIan Of
shutting the doors soon as all the seats
had been taken, and so avoided a crush
that would inevitably have ensued had
those on the outside been allowed to push
into the hall and stand in the aisles As II
was there was no confusion or noise no dis
turbance, though thousands upon thousa nds
were in the vast room. Had the doors NOT
been closed at Z o'clock as they were. there
might have been crush inside the building
and possibly a serious accident In view of
the fact that the meetings are to be con-
tinued throughout the month there is no
danger that all who desire to hear the evan
geiists Will not be given a chance

CHINESE BABY ABANDONED.
The Little Founding Is a Girl,
Healthy and Four Days Old
Found in an Ash Barrel and Taken
to Police Headquarters.

The queerest little founding that ever
felt the kindly touch Of Matron Travers's
hand was taken to Police Headquarters
al o'clock this morning, and all the
policemen about the big building who
are papas went UP to the Matrons
apartments to have look at the little
girl.
There was much discussion In regard to
| 1t, but the conclusion was finally reached
| that ii was Chinese child. Although
Mrs. Travers has cared for thousands OF
| children in her day. she had never seen
the like OF this one. It's little eyes are
almond shaped and set in the head mt an
angle of 10 degrees, almost coming to-
getner above the tiny nose. It's mouth
| is small and Its ertire face is the color
| OF the reddest of red flannel. m

| But Matron Travers, while she said
she WAS willing to do everything in rea-

warm milk. which seemed to agree with
her very we'll.
The infant was found last night by
Mrs. Mary Loranto In an ash barrel al
Elizabeth and Canal streets. She took
II to her home, las Thompson street.
This morning she exhibited the child
to some friends, and they. told her tc

PROPOSED COAL INQUIRY.

officer of the Government or any member
OF Congress IL, or was, Interested In any
corporation or company engaged in min
ing coal in any of the states or Territo-
ries OF the United States, or In any rail-
road company engaged in Transporting
coal that would come into competition
with Nova Scotia or Dominion coal In any
markets Of the United States, ana
whether influences have been used to

benefit; also us to whether the removal
OF the duty IN coal would reduce it's
price to the consumer OF coal in any
parts of the United States, and II SO.
what parts OF the United States would be

The outcome of the Gray Committees
inquiry as to the Senate sugar scandal
does not furnish an encouraging prece-
dent In the line of Senatorial investiga-
d
ton OF any subject which carries any
possibility OF unpleasant consequences to
any member OF the upper chamber at
Washington. II that Committee had
done its full duty, and II, then, the reso-
luton OF Mr.. Chandler, as amended by
Mr.. Mills, were to go into effect. there
would be much to hope for from an In
qury of such extended scope. Interest
ing developments as to the operations Of
coal combines In general could not fail
to follow an earnest investigation on the
lines indicated, and the barons who have
had the consumers Of coal at their mercy
for so long a time would have real cause
for apprehension.
The Gray Committee had but failed to
improve the opportunity to show Attor-
ney- General Olney wherein the law
might touch the Sugar Trust jealous
committee inquiring into the matters
covered by the Chandler and Mills pro-
posals would undoubtedly show where
the law could touch the Coal Trust.

RIVER MUST Be KEPT CLEAN.
'Longshoreman Duffy Kicks a
Piece of Melon Overheard.
Arrested by Federal Inspector,
Locked Up and Reprimanded.

When two big policemen from the
Leonard street police station and United
States Deputy Inspector Leyden, from
he Office of the United States Supervisor
Of the Harbor of New York, placed
James Duffy, a strapplng young long
shoremun, before United states Commits
sioner Shields this morning the general
expectation was that Duffy had at least
murdered a couple OF dozen people or
attempted to put a few million counter
felt bank notes into circulation. The
United States official with the lengthy
title. however, soon put to flight these
ideas. He simply charged Duffy with
kicking a little piece of watermelon into
the North River from a plank on which
he was standing while unloading water
melons from Pennsylvania Railroad
car at pier %.
Inspector Leyden seemed to consider
the case one of the highest Importance,
To help out the ridiculous gravity OF the
situation. Assistant United states DIS,
the case laid before him. Duffy .swore
most fervently that he had kicked a
piece of watermelon about as big az his
hand of the plank to avoid slipping on
il and falling into the river.
Policeman Walter Brown. OF the Leon
ard street station, said that inspector

defiling the waterways OF the North
River and had insisted on the arrest,
showing his shield as authority.
Policeman Brown accordingly arrest
ed Duffy and locked him up all night In
the Leonard street police station. This
morning he took Dufy to the Tombs
Police Court where the sitting Justice
| thought 1t was a Federal offense, and
30 sent Duffy to Commissioner Shields
and detailed another policeman to &c
along and ascertain how the case was
disposed Of.
After examining Duffy, who was some
what ratified and who offered ito swear
| to anything. Yer Homer, never did SC
before nor will again" Mr.. Ball decided
that there was no criminal intent on
Duffys part In kicking the melon into
| the river and that the evidence was no,
| sufficient to make IA case against him.
Mr. Ball so notified Commissioner
| Shields, who, with a very serious face
after lecturing Duffy on the gravity oil
the offense II 1t had been fully proven
discharged the 'longshoreman.
Inspector Leyden said United States
| Supervisor Delehanty had instructed
him to rlgidly enforce the law abou
throwing refuse into the river. Com
missioner Shields just as gravely agar
commended the Inspector for his yea
and devotion to duty.

Citron Cosmetics.

Ever since the invention of the toilet
table lovely woman has used lemons
for her complexion. A lotion as old as
the Louvre is still used by the French,
viz: a cup of rain water and the juice
Of two lemons. For sore skin little
slycerine was added. This is put on the
face, neck and hands. and allowed to
dry. Lemon or lime juice taken inter-
naliy. when the skin is blotched, will
correct the disorder that produced the
blemish. The Juice of half lemon In a
glass Of water before breakfast Is the
usual drink; with hot coffee the remedy
may be more remedial. This cools
cleans, and thins the blood. Very
scrawny girls need less acid than their
fat sisters.
