DIR. +. s. Todd then took the platform
Ee said that these are terrible truths which
Mr.. Moody has told us. There If one truth
which we should all cling TO. and that Is
that Jesus loves us. Black as We are. and
unworthy. He still loves us. The love OF
Jesus is not dependent upon what we are,
but what He is. You have seen a woman
who had BLACKBOARD husband, and You
have wondered what she saw In that hus-
band 10 love. 1t was not anything in him,
II was the love in her. You have seen q
woman with an ugly cur dog. There was
nothing In the dog to love, but she had
so much love in her heart that Il went
out to the dog. That is just the way with
Jesus; He loves us because He is love IT
self; He will receive you II you come TO
Him tonight lie is ready for You. Come
tonight to Him. A mother accepts her
sens wife for her sons sake. She is re-
ceived for his sake. We are received not
for our worthiness, but for His sake. II
you VIII come tonight He will receive you
and make you one of His family"
Then while the choir sang Hymn 1s9. Mr..
Moody asked the Christian people all over
ing God, and to try to help them.
Let us make IL a conversational meeting"
he said; Il wish 1 could talk TO every one
of you myself"

hall the people moved about seeking TO
ind some one TO comfort.
Il know there are people here who would
like to be talked TO. but We don't know

some church rise"
About IS per cent Of the audience arose.
leaving the rest seated.
Now, then" said Mr.. Moody. go for
those who are seated. You know who they
are"
This little plan was successful, and the
work of conversion went on with enthu-
siasm. Then while the choir sang a couple
OF hymns, Mr. Moody asked the people who
want to become Christians TO write their
names on card and send them up by the
ushers.
the congregation was dismissed with the
benediction.
Overflow Meeting.
The overflow meeting at Assembly
Church last evening was well attended.
1t was under the direction OF Rev. Dr.

Christians Good Night" He then made q
short but fervent address upon the value
Of the Bible and the help which comes to
one from a thorough knowledge OF its con-
tents

MEN DISCOURAGED
Why the Party in Control is Not
More Active.
OF MRS. LEAS E
pec;al Correspondence Of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
TOPEKA, Kan. February IL, 1894.
The story of the little busy bee. as 1t i'm
proves each shining hour" could be ap-
piled just now with telling force to the Joint
keeper who operates in Kansas or the
wholesale liquor dealer who supplies him
with an assortment of liquors While the
people of this state have been wrought up
over the new brand of politics the populist
party has introduced, the joint and dive
keepers have been attending to business.
So, while the balance of the people have
been quarreling over "the circulation per
capitar," the government control Of rail-
roads, the subtreasury plan and the late
legislative war, the liquor dealers and brew
ers, through their accredited agents in the
towns and cities of Kansas have been forti-
flying themselves with intrenchments until
they have about captured the once strong
citadel of prohibition.
The republicans who used to be for pro-
hibition for political purposes have been
kept busy fighting the populists. The demo-
Gratis who have always been opposed TO the
law are willing that it's violation shall con-
tinue. while the populists, the parry in
power, make no pretenSe at enforcement.
This leaves the whole burden and response
bility on the shoulders of Ex-Governor st.
John and little band of 5000 third party
prOhibitiOniStS, but they can 90 mourning.
Recently Rev. DR.. Miner. president of the
Kansas State Temperance Union. gave up
the fight, resigned his office and accepted a
call to Armours mission, in Chicago, where
he hopes to find rest and comfort in his de-
Ginning years.
BOldness of the Liquor Men.
The holiness of saloon keepers and joint
lists in the towns and cities of Kansas dur
ing the past six months is noticeable by
everybody. In several cities open se.loons
have taken the place Of dives. and in COM
munities where the joint was hunted down
two and three years ago, 1t now fiourishes.
and there is no official to modest the white
aproned gentry who run the machine. By
degrees the liquor business has been getting
a foothold in former prohibition communi-
ties while in most Of the larger cities the
Joint keeper and boot logger have blossomed
out with a bar and all the appurtenaaces
of a first-class saloon on the ground floor.
There are republicans who essay to ex-
plain this condition of things, but as yet
they have not produced any proof Of their
assertions. They allege that the present
populist administration is in league with

AGAINST FAST DAY.
Massachusetts House Votes DO Abolash
This Relic Of the Purftans.

The Massachusetts house yesterday voted
to abolish fast day and substitute as q
holiday the 18th Of April The debate was
very bitter. and outside Of the common
wealth would have been astonishing. There
was a good deal Of religious feeling shown
in the pleas for keeping up the venerable
Institution The point was made on the
other side that this was the last vestige In
America Of the union of the church and
state, and that IL was not consistent with
republican ideas of liberty of conscience.
One gentleman objected TO the bill sar-
castically, on the ground that IL would
postpone the opening Of the base ball sea-
son two weeks. Nobody observes fast day
row as religious Institution for humiliation
and prayer. Another advocate of the bill
suggested law be passed providing for
compulsory tithes, state support of church,
es. the hanging OF heretics. etc. The final
vote stood 100 for and IS against the bill

portant question, and one which is
destined to play no seconda airy part in
our future financial aft airs. The inter
view is with a gentleman who is we'll
known here as being an attorney for
several outside building and loan asso-
Citations, and it was in response to
call from the officials OF several of
these organizations that thu recent trip
to New York was made, that the move.
ment being put in operation against
them in this city could be discussed
As President Cleveland remarked in
one OF his important messages to Con.
gress: 1--WE are confronted with con.
dillon, not a theory" and this condi-
zion is one involving momentous qucs-
tons Without passing upon the merits
of the points At issue, TEE TIMES
shall endeavor to obtain the arru-
ments on either side with the hopes
OF accom- plishing results or suggesting
ton which it seems essential should
be taken a. once The issue is one of
interest to every citizen and while the
Anti Building and Loan Association
movement has been conduct tod in semi
secrecy, we trust that the promoters
will have no hesitancy in coming into
the open and explain the position upon
which they stand We believe the move.

THE MAYORS SALARY.

While there was inclination yester-
day TO descry the action OF Council at
the meeting on Friday night, at which
mayors salary was reduced to merely
nominal sum, upon the whole 1t was
deemed best not to give way to general
condemnation of the movement.
While it is seemingly late hour for
the consideration of this matter, mas
much as the present Council has known
that the fixing of salaries was depend
emit upon them the moment the present
city charter was approved, and that the
candidacy of the aspirants for the posi-.
ton of mayor might have been depend
emit upon the salary attached, it can even
now go the incoming Council in man
ner which places the responsibility upon
them.
The city charter provides that
The mayor shall receive such airy as shall be
fixed by the said Council, and he shall receive no
other compensation emoluments whatever,
and his salary shall lot be diminished during his
term OF Office.
AS fixed by the ordinance as passed
on Friday night the mayors salary
shall be $500. 1t lies within the power
OF the incoming Council to raise it, but
not diminish it during his term Of office.
In view OF this fact the placing of the
salary at figure below the ordinary
demands of reason need not be
looked upon as so unwise an act after
ali. The incoming Council can be de-
depended upon to fix it at such a sum as
the finances OF the city will justify.

gone TO the train TO meet her.
The servant reminded him that Mrs.
Baype was not due to arrive till p. IN
He then quieted down, but the servant
becoming uneasy spoke of it to tho
other servants when she went down
stairs About 1915 she heard shot,
and when the attendant reached Bayne's

A MILD FISH STORY TELLER.
And the Alderman Was So Startled That
He Had Nothing to Say.

And the Alderman Was So Startled That
He Had Nothing to Say.
Let's see" unused the drummer at Do
troit hotel the other evening, but isn't
there place around here somewhere called
Lake ST. Clair flats?"
Yes, sir" replied the alderman in the
group.
Great place for fishing?"
1.-The best in the world"
Always sure of getting fish at the
fiatss"
Always, If in season."
1--WE read and heard n great deal of the
place, and know several Cincinnati people
who have been up there. One of 'em told
me he caught four perch up there between
sunrise and sunset"
Only four!' gasped the alderman.
"Why, my dear sir. what could your friend
have been doing all that dayP"
Fishing for perch. He didn't even stop
for dinner. Another one told me that he
caught three black bass during the week he
made business ofiishing, but of course"-
Only three black bass in Is week! I'd
like to know what sort of fisherman your
friend calls HIMSELF"
He is rated an Al man, but am sorry
to say nobody has any confidence in his
word. His story wasn't quite as bad as
that of his brother, though SAVE There
was a man who stood right up at the bar of
the Burnet House and gave us his solemn
word that he caught n pike up there which
weighed two full pounds He wouldn't
take off a fraction of an ounce They OK
PEELED him from club for lying, but have
often wondered if he didn't really believe
what he was telling"
''He didn't claim but two pounds for his
pike?" demanded the alderman us he turned
pale
only two pounds. There was Coving-
ton man in the party, and when he got
back home he went around telling every
body that he hooked fish SO large that it
broke his line. They were going to run
him for mayor of the town, but that killed
him dead. People argued that if he would
lie about one thing he would about an
other, and that it wasn't safe thing to put
a liar in public Office"
WAS that all he claimed--that a fish
broke his line?"
That's all, but it settled his hash pretty
quick. So there is good fishing at the
flats, ehs Pm glad to meet man who
knows all about it. Now, alderman, wish
you'd give me few particulars"
NO sir! No, sirl" exclaimed the alder
man as he jumped up and mopped the per-
SEPARATION from his brow.
Won't you tell me how many perch you
have caught In a month up thereP"
"No, STRIP
Nor the weight of your largest fish,"
NO, STRIP
But you see alderman"--
Il see nothing! l won't tell you one
burned word about fishing. 1 was given to
understand that you were an honorable,
straightforward man, but have discovered
to the contrary. No, sir-not Il statement
not word a man who'll choke another
man off as you have me can 20 and fish in
