GAS STOVE EXPLOSION.
A ROOM IN TURNVEREIN HALL
SHATTERED.
They Forgot to Turn or tho Gas

Came to
Grief.

The interior OF the room in Turnverein
hall whore the cooking is done for ban
quets and the like doesn't present quite
such good appearance as it did before
IL O'Clock yesterday.
At that hour the gas stove in this
room exploded, or rather a large guam
tity OF gas which happened to be in the
stove exploded.
After the banquet given by the city to
the Veteran Firemen on Saturday night
the kitchen employees slaughtered
things out q little turned out the gas
stove and went home. They forgot to
turn off the gas in the burner under.
meath the oven. The door of the room
was left open, however, and yesterday
morning when one OF the employees went
back toe6nish the clearing up he failed
to observe that the gas was turned on
during the night and turning ON an
other burner he touched lighted
match to it and left the room.
1t was not long before an explosion
took place which fairly shook the large
stone building to it's foundations and
which could be heard blocks away.
The room was rendered pretty com.
plete wreck. The stove was blown to
atoms. the furniture scattered around
pretty promiscuously and the plastering
on tho ceiling and walls cracked and
battered.
And that was not all. The large water
boilers connected with the etove were
torn open and large quantity of water
went through the floor and saturated
the plastcring of the rooms below. ruin
ing considerable amount of the ceiling.
The damage altogether must be several
hundred dollars.

AN IMPETUoUs YOUTH.

He Struck tho Man Whom Hs Did Not
Like.
F. L. Potter and another youn man
were driven rapidly to the police station
about 10 o'clock last night. They wore
gathered in ON Wilmington atrees.
MT. Potter looks like ne might be from
Texas, while the other-his name was
lost in the shuttle at the station-was a
meek enough appearing youngster.
They had had fight down on Will.
mington street. There is girl in the
case. They both love the girl. Mr..
Potter of Texas, jr.. did all the heavy
smuggling, while the other young man
carried goose egg on the right eye and
looked pretty wilted. Potter, it seems,
went into retirement beneath the
shsde of spreading pepper tree on
Wilmington street and took off his coat,
vest and collar. Then he waited for ths
other young man. When the latter ap-
pesred he smote him on the eye as
related above. He spent the night in
the city Jail and today he will tel the
judge in the police court why he acted
that way.

Reichenbach, rendered an excellent
song service. DR.. Mclean chose for his
text Rom. IA, continuing the subject
of last Sunday evening Righteousness
is positive, active power. We call
some people good who are practically
good for nothing, There is nothing
in it strikes with force. There can be
nothing in practical righteousness but
that which makes it's power felt. You
know as well as l do that there are
Christian characters whose touch brings
you nearer to God aud you feel your
life has been made better because you
have met them. II our creed does not
belle our living then no one will attack
our creed. We cannot believe God
loves orthodox theology just because
it is orthodox, but because it is positive
and practical, active and doing some
thing. The type OF the Jewish religion
in ritual and aacriice was good enough
in their time, but they only pointed to
the great salvation and religion intro
duced by Christ. for He is the end OF the
law to every one that believeth.
So outside of Jesus Christ there is no
hope for us to live righteous life.
Safety ia found in the crosa OF Jesus
Christ, for whosoeyer believeth on him
shall be saved. Gould there be any
plan devised that would be easier to
gain salvation than by exercising saving
faith in the Lord jesus Christ? There is
no one but that can be saved if he
wills to be. There is nothing that
saves from wrong and evil like right

SOMETHING ABOUT GAMBLING.


Why tho Chinese Law Violators Ara
Seldom Arrested.
The police detectives are ever on the
alert to capture violators OF the gam
bling law, but during the last six
months only two or three successful
raids have been made. The violstors
in these instances were colored "crap-
shooters" one gang of which was ar
rested. Saturday night. One American
gambler, a faro dealer, was the only
white man captured for gambling during
those months.
Percentage gambling is one OF the in
fractions of the law that is hardest to
necure conviction against. In nearly
every instance the players "stend in"
with the conductor of the game, and
unless victim ''equeals'' or the gam
blers are taken unawares by the detec-
tives, but few ever know of the games.
Every once in while news ia given
out that some young 'blood" was vic
timized of all his worldly possessions,
and in many case1 it is true. He is the
fellow who usually "hqueals," but ere
he has put the detectives on--if it ia a
steady game--his mouth ia silsnced by G

At the Fir.s BAPTIST church.


At the First Baptist church yesterday
morning Rev. Daniel Reed took for his
text: ''Brt my God shall supply all
your needs according to His riches in
glory by Christ Jesus" Phil, 4 10.
The divine life flows into US through
human life. The message of heaven
brought to US by feet that are weary and
torn by the rough ways of the earth, and
the consultation OF the Gospel are never
80 sweet az when they are spoken from
lips that have jus. ceased from pleading
with God for their own comfort. When
Paul wrote the epistle just quoted he
was prisoner in Rome.
Although in great need OF sustensnce
end often hungry, he said: II can do all
things through Christ, who strength
sned me-" So it appeared that God
had supplied all Pauls needs, both in
spiritual and temporal things. and 80,
knowing az he did from personal expe-
rienee that all riches of grace and bless
ing were in Christ. he could confidently
assure his dear Christian Philippe that
his God would supply all their needs.
Our God can likewise supply all the
needs OF the people OF the great metrop-
oils if they will but turn to Him.
A need OF our church for its greater
efficiency is singleness of aim and con-
centration of effort. 1t is
great mistake for Christians to
scatter their efforts, time and
money upon other organizations to the
neglect of the church. Christ knew
how to make His life most useful and he
did not attempt to become leader in
politics and reform governments. He
did not establish q new philosophy and
revelutionizs science; He did not es-
tablish secret societies, in fact He did
mot spread Himself all over the 1000
things that sought recognition at His
hands. With one aim lie devoted Him
self to His work. The minister referred
to the habit which many business men
had of falling from grace. in their daily
intercourse with the world. They were
apt to fall into the error Of being dishon-
est. He spoke at much length about
other evils which beset the people and
the way for reform.

SUNDAY AT THE CHURCHES.
Rev. Will Knighten on Politi-
cal Evils.
The Duty of the People Toward a
Good Government.
An Alternating Sermon at the First Il ap-
fist Ohutch-A Talk at the Y.
M. @. A. HaiI-Geh-
erai Notss.

At Grace N. E. church, on East First
street. last evening Rev. Will A. Knight
en- preached a sermon which was very
much Of departure from the usual or
thodox addresses.
He took the ground that ell citizens of
America should be good citizens and at
all times and under all circumstances do
their duty to American institutions
which they, az part Of the government,
were to greater or lessor degree re-
sponsible for.
He had very large audience and his
uttsrances were extremely well received.
The following is his text and the sub
iect which he dilated upon:
Is 1t lawful for us to give tribute unto
Caesar or no? And he said unto them,
"Rendef then you unto Cesar things
which be Caesars and unto God the
things which be Gods Luke, 20-22-
rs.
Christ was loyal to the government; If
he said mo-" it was treason. Tribute
was poll tax by Romans. Cesar was
a common name OF emperors. The pres
emit emperor was Tiberius. The rule
was, "He is sovereign who stamps the
coin value. The image was Tiberius
Caesars. You are Caesars subjects"
A citizen must sustain his government.
He must submit to its laws. He must
be interested in its life. The duty of
the citizen is to the land. 1t is natural to
love our own country. As an illustra-
tion, look at Germans, English and
Americans abroad, and in the words of
Scott:
''Breathes there man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land; - .
If such there be, go, mark him we'll"
We let in too many undesirable people.
No other nation would stand it. We
to restrict imported cheap labor, and
restrict paupers and Chinese.
The great internal foe which confronts
us ia corrupt politics-in the value of
votes and ignorant voters.
1t also includes trusts in sugar, iron,
whisky and extends to monopolies,
bosses, rings and the great scramble for
Office.
He was particularly bitter toward the
corrupt method pursued by politicians
to corrupt certain ends. One great rea-
son why this corruption WAS so easily
Spracticed was because of large alien
class who came here, not to make good
citizens. but in order to stop the life
giving fluid from the vitals of our gov.
ernmeat. They are ignorant in most
instances of all that should be held
sacred and lall an easy prey to those
who wish to use them. Their further
inroads should BIO checked. He also
paid his respects to the great octupus,
the hydra headed giant known IS trustE,
which included hold upon the great
industries of the land. They were an
existing evil now confronting the people
and all good citizens should rise up in
arms against them. These questions
were all treated in logical manner as
