Dr. Brown. of Foundry Church, Condemns
STYLE of Many Preachers

DR.. Brown. of Foundry Church, Condemns
StyIe OF Many Preachers.
Rev. DR.. Brown preached at the Foundry
NJ. E. Church last evening on the subject of
'Soms social and religious questions. He
chose his text from the Gospel of st. Mat
thew, xi:5.
The subject, the speaker said, would be the
Relation Q. Christ TO the poor" He pro-
ceedad to tell what the law was as given in
the word of Christ, quoted in the text. He
said all Christian and Christian churches
from that time 70 the present must prove
their claim BY the exhibition of the same
credentials furnished by Christ
Fine churches and find creeds, said the
speaker, ''and fine preaching and fine sing
ing, without this, was only sham.
The ministers of the nineteenth century
should not preach sermons with sensational
subjects. but go among the poor, and initiate
Christ's example by preaching simply the
plain Gospel truth. II such course were at
tempted and the present method or style OF
many preachers OF this time were changed,
there would be such flow OF salvation as
had rarely been seen.
"The poor could nOkunderstand these higher
critical dissertations. but they want 10 know
in plain language what the Gospel truths. as
formerly preachei'bv Christ. and as it should
be preached by men at this time"
Dr. Brown next spoke Of the wretched con-
dition Of the homes of thousands OF poor
people and said they should be declared
nuisances and swept out of existence to make
room for new. decent, and healthy homes.
DR.. Brown closed by pointing out the duty
of the church to the poor and said they should
not be neglected, but given as much oppor-
tunity to hear the Gospel preached as per-
sons in more prosperous circumstances.

CITIZENSHIP TOO CHEAP.

Congressman Morse's Views of the Igno.
rant and Disqualified Voters
The Anti-Saloon League held its first
southwest meeting yesterday afternoon at
Ryland Chapel, corner Of Tenth and D
streets.
There were probably 400 people present, in
Guiding Juvenile organization attached to
the church, known as the Loyal Temperance
Legion, which numbers about 40 members.
The programme included an opening
prayer by Rev. ID. w. Skellenger, of the Sixth
Presbyterian Church: an address Of welcome
by DR.. HartsocK, pastor Of Ryiand chapel; a
paper by Mrs. Ii. Z. GiIlenwater. secretary of
The league an address TO the Temperance
Legion. by Mr.. James L. Ewin, the presiding
officer. and n temperance Grafton by the Hon.
Z. A. Morse. NJ. c.
Mrs. Gillenwater's paper was devoted to
sketch Of the league. its work, its objects and
hopes. and gave resume OF what had been
accomplished by the organization.
Are you in the paJh of duty?'' was the in
quiry propounded by Congressman Morse.
He said he had grave doubts that this coun-
try would ever celebrate another centennial
anniversary. Ignorant and disqualified citi-
zenship is one agency that threatens destruc-
ton to our institutions, and the power of
rum is another Citizenship she says. isStoo
cheap. He believes il is safer to traverse the
streets of st. Petersburg than those of New
York, and when the same thing can be said of
other large American cities his doubts will be
in large measure confirmed.
There are hopeful signs of a reformation,
however, and he does not despair of the
future.
Speaking of the loss that would accrue to
the revenues by the closing of the saloons
Mr.. Morse said that there is as much good
sense in inoculating people with smallpox
and requiring a license of dealers in coffins
rs to insist upon licensing the rum traffic
He appealed to the young men to lead tenn
perate life.
By invitation of the presiding officer Mr.
n. C. Martin spoke of the gratitude of the
good citizens of Southwest Washington for
the retention OF Sergt. Daley on the police
force after his enemies had almost accom-
plished his removal. ''Sergt Daley is man -
said Mr.. Martin, ''who did not leave his con-
science at home when he became police
man, and he is just the man for this section. +"
The musical features were solos rendered
by E. NJ Hall and Miss At Lee. the former
rendering "Only Remember at the opening,
and the latter closing the regular programme
with ''The Lord Is My Light.
The services were concluded with prayer
by the Rev. J. II. III. Lemon, of Gorsuch NJ.

SWARMING TO WASHINGTON
Over Four Hundred Unemployed Men
Furnished Free Lodgings.
SAID TO BE A CONCERTED MOVE
Police statians, Municipal Lodging-house
and Mission Dormitory Crowded with Re-
spectacle Appearing Mechanics and La
borers-Are Willing to Be Sent to Jail.

The police authorities are trying to solve
the tramp problem, which has presented it
self again in no uncertain manner since the
reconvening of Congress. The city is
fairly overrun with unemployed men from
every section of the country. But few OF
them belong to the genuine hobo" frater-
nity. the majority being respectable appear
ing and intelligent mechanics and working
men.
The police have recognized several meR
among the visitors who were here with the
Coxey and other commonweal armies last
summer, and the report is current that the
presence of so many idle men at this time is
the result of secret and preconcerted move
ment on the Capital for the same purposes
that Gen" CoXey and his gaunt followers
came here.
TIMES reporter made tour OF the sta
tion-houges, and free lodging resorts Satur-
day night and found that over 400 strange
men had been furnished with free sleeping
places for the night. Even at No. 4 police
station, which is situated away down IN
| South Washington, twenty-seven homeless
! dodgers were accommodated before II clock
midnight. The seventy-three cots in the
| dormitory of the Central Union Mission were
| all occupied before 10 o'clock. and at the
! same hour there was only standing room in
the Municipal Lodging-house on Twelfth
| street.
| The reporter interviewed several of the
| dodgers at the Fourth precinct station. They
were intelligent fellows, and some of them
related pathetic hard-luck stories.
One young man, when asked If the pres
| ence here OF so many unemployed working
men was a preconcerted movement, or had
| anv particular significance, rather evasively
! said:
II don't know about that, but q lot of us

here to Washington and Congress would do
something for US. 1t appeared to be qqes-

meets, as anywhere else"
| An intelligent carpenter who had sawed

II was here with Frye's men last summer
! and we agreed to come back to Washington
after Congress was in session and demand

| Most of US are here"
'How many?" asked the reporter.
"Thirty- one and several more on the road.
| We are expecting a certain party on Tuesday,
| and when he comes we will organize and de-
mand work. They can't do any more than
send US to jail, as Gen. Coxey said, and then
the government will have TO feed and shelter

memorial service in honor of the three
bundredth anniversary of the birth of Gus
tavus Adolphus, the Swedish king, known as
the defender of Professionalism, was held at
the Luther Memorial Church at o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
By some misunderstanding the meeting
was in the lecture-room, with the entrance at
the rear on Vermont avenue. At 345 o'clock
persons wishing to attend began to arrive by
ones, twos. and threes.
Frequently they would try the doors on
Fourteenth street and in front hold a little
consultation, and go away thinking there
was no meeting.
About fifty persons, many being Scandina-
vians gathered in the lecture-room. Rev. J.
G. Butler opened the services with a simple
announcement of the purpose, reading from
the Bible. and prayer. He introduced Prof
Axel FryxeI, late of Stockholm, who read a
paper giving a review OF the life and services
OF Gustavus Adolphus. He said the King had
saved by righteous use of arms, with no
thought of conquest. the fruits of Luther's
reformation. He concluded the service by
singing in Swedish song of the theological
students of the University of Sweden.

Terrible mIctions OF . Mechanic Cell
for Charity.

Terrible A fnictions Of . Mechanic-Call
for Charity.
John Barto. who lives in Madison Street
addition, is the victim of peculiarly I'M
fortunate circumstances. Up to last sum-
mer he was an industrious mechanic Of
more than ordinary intelligence. Failing
to get work At his trade he accepted other
employ ment, which has proven very costly
to him.
July q, 1898, he was engaged in blasting
hard earth for the purpose of making .
cesspool out on Jackson street The fuse
Of one charge which he had placed failed
to burn. and he finally removed Ii entirely
from the work and proceeded to drill a
hole for another blast At distance from
the abandoned charge. He expected to
explode this second charge and that it in
turn would explode the abandoned one.
There was probably an opening Of some
sort In the ground which led from the
abandoned charge to the hole he was drill
ing. At all events the abandoned charge
must have been ignited by spark from
his drill. for terrible explosion took place,
and Mr.. Barto was taken 10 Providence
hospital more dead than alive. He has
been an acute sufferer ever since. One of
his eyes has been removed entirely, and
his physicians say the other can only be
saved by months OF careful nursing and a
delicste surgical operation. Since the ae-
cident Mr.. Barto has been also troubled
with his lungs and the physicians advise
his return to . climate less moist than
this.
He therefore desires to go with his wife
TO hts mother, who lives at Lincoln, Neb.
In order To do so and To havs the cara HE
case requires. a considerable sum of money
surgical operation will render the services
of professional nurse imperative for q
considerable period Of time.
The family 10 without means. Mr..
Barto's father was killed last summer 1t
Lincoln By runaway team; two of his
sisters have died during the last year. All
In al. 1t would seem that this is a case of
most bitter misfortune. and an appropriate
one for the exercise of real charity.
Mrs. Barto is q refined an sensitive lady
who has suffered much from heart dis
| ease. and who is permanently deformed.
She has had the burden Of nursing her
husband ever since the accident, and has
borne it nobly.
