Its Story To-Day Of the Fright

the Cause.
THiRTYMEN AT ONCE DISMISSED.
Raids on the Sources Of the Con-
taminatIon Of the Water
Supply Not Unlikely.

When City Works Commissioner whits.
Of Brooklyn. read the startling story
printed on the sixth page Of 1.-THE Even-
Ing World" to-day about the pollution Of
the Brooklyn watershed he Immediately
ordered the dismissal OF thirty em-
ployeees Of the Department.
1t was the duty of these thirty men 70
look after the puriacation of}the water
shed.
The evidence produced by s'The Even-
ing World'' was SO conclusive that The
Commissioner determined I'd take tm-
mediate action. - ,.--.,..., Z. lsst =
He had been quietly investigating the
condition Of affairs and found that there
had been the srossest neglect in the De-
partment, and that the health OF the
one million Inhabitants of Brooklyn was
being endangered owing to the careless
ness of the men employed to guard the
city's water supply.
The discharged men are, W. Buttlery,
S. p. Allen. ID. Talhurst. p. Cusick. T.
Flemming. William Bedell, j. Hard

1t is not unlikely that the Commits
sioner will order more men discharged.
He Is determined to do everything with
in his power to guard the watershed.
and raids on the sources Of pollution are
not improba BILE.

Especial to The Evening World)
LONDON. March 3.-To-day's Speaker,
the Liberal weekly organ. strikes the
KEYNOTE Of the situation in saying that 1t
is legacy of effort and stubborn con-
flict which Gladstone leaves to those who
are to come after him. and that Thurs
days speech in the House of Commons
will be notable on the pages Of history
as marking not only the close Of a
matchless career, but the opening of a
new era in the National story.
The fact of this coming battle is the
real secret of Gladstone's resignation.
The habit of his life and thought has
been against conflict either with the
hereditary legislator or the hereditary
throne; and. although he bowed to the
will OF his party and the inexorable logic
of events in making his last speech call
to that great battle, he preferred to COM
init the leadership to a more willing as
well as younger spirit.
ROsebery's Preferment.
This is, again, the secret of not only
his own choice OF Lord Rosebery as his
successor, but of the practically unani-
nous declaration of the Radical press
and leaders that he is the one and only
man for this great juncture. 1t Is i'm
possible that John Burns, Herbert AS
quith, the London Chronicle ard the
Manchester Guardian, the Scottish lead
err should not have had sufficient as
surances from the new Premier upon
this vast question of the future before
giving him their enthusiastic support.
l say vast question, because 1t is the
sangulne belief Of its thoughtful leaders
that its Ultimate result will be the Demo.
cratic Federation of all Anglo-Saxon
peoples,
Their choice of Roseberrv is b,sed
primarily upon his personal qualities
hut incidentally upon the fact that he Is
of the very cla.s whose hereditary nriv
ileges are to be overthrown. The sam.
son 20 null down this temple will have

FIERCE FOREST FIRES.
Valuable buildings In South Jersey swept
by the Flames.


by the Flames.
EGG HARBoR CITY, N. j., July 16.-For-
est fires that have been raging in this sec
ton for several days past have swept over
an area of more THAI 5000 acres. Last
night the condition of affairs looked seri-
Gus, and the residents for several miles
around were called out to fight the flames.
Although with some success iA changing
the course Of the fire there is still danger
that many buildings will yet be destroyed
Among tho buildings already burned were
those on the farm of Congressman J. j..
Gardner, including his fine country resi-
dence near Bridgeport. The dwelling of
Captain Gus Williams was also destroyed.
fierce fire is now sweeping through
the dense woods in the lower part of Gal.
loway township and is headed directly to-
ward Hewittown. 1t is impossible to form
any estimate of the loss at present. The
principal losers, however, will be the own
ers of the timber land, several large sec
tions of which have been swept by the
flames.
Hinckley, MINI, n small town ON the
Duluth road. and in the heart of the
northern Minnesota mining district, is
surrounded by forest fires, and unless rain
falls Immediately everything thereabouts
will be in ashes.
A special from Big Rapids Mich, says
that probably three hundred men, women
and children, inhabitants of ten mile
section of the southern part of Isabella
county, are homeless on account of forest
fires. A lumber camp of the Gale Lumber
company was totally destroyed with many
acres of green timber

II is easy enough to be pleasant

But the man worth while 10 the one who
will smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And IL always comes with tho years.
And the smile that ia worth the praises OF

Is the smile that shines through tears.
1t is easy enough TO be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray,
When without or within no voice OF ain
Is lur'ng your soul away.
But 1t 10 only a negative virtue
Until Il is tried by fire,
And the life that Is worth the honor OF

Is tho one that resists desire.
BY the cyuic. the sad. the fallen.
Who hath no strength for the strife.
Tie worlds highway is numbered to-day ;
They make up the items OF life.
But the virtue that oonquers passion.
And the sorrow that hides IN a smile.
II is these that are worth the homage OF

Notwithstanding the hot weather
and the fact that q large portion OF
the membership are out OF the city,
the attendance yesterday morning
was unusually large Tor this season OF
the year. The pastor, Rev. J. II. How
ward, u. D., preached from the S5th
verse OF the Tth chapter OF st. Luke.
But wisdom Is justified by all her
children The doctor stated that all
argument In favor of the Christian
religion has met with opposite argu.
ment by the antagonists OF Chrlstiani-
ty. That John the Baptist came
neither eating or drinking. yet he was
said to have devil. And Christ him
self was called a glutton and wine
ltibher. The best argument In favor
lof our. religion was Offset by the OPP.
Iponents of Christianity.
The miracles were not sufficient
ground to stand upon, MS tho Magi
and Astyologers OF Egydt and Greece
performed feats which seemed super
natural. The successful propagation
Iof Chr lstianity Is not sufficient proof
Error has taken root and spread in al.
most like manner as proved In some
of the heather religions. While some
became martyrs for the truths, the
same may truthfully be said OF error
There are millions who have as much
faith in Mohammet as we have Ii
Christ and are becoming martys to his
cause. There are those who believe II
the Koran as much as We believe in thu
word OF God. Error has Its influence
;, as well as truth.
So the best evidence Of the infaili
Ibility of christianity is not founded OF
the evidence mentioned but IL proven
by the text viz. But that wisdom /.
justified by all her children.
The world does not receive It's con
,ception OF Christianity from the Bible
but from the lives Of protesting Chris
tiens. On this subject the doctor be
came very practical, as well as clio
quent; referring to what loss o
truth suffers through inconsistent ad
lvocatef. The discourse was pro
. inounoed by many OF the congregation
as heln9 mastery.
