FuTILITY OF FAME
D. II. Clare. of Colgate University. Lee.
lures Before the Y. NJ. c. a.

D. II. Clare, Of Colgate University, lee
tured at the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation yesterday afternoon, and in soft
words and persuasive ways convinced
throng OF auditors of the futility of fame and
treasure. He founded his argument on the
words of Christ: For mans life con-
sisteth not in the abundance OF the things
whichhepossesses."
He prefaced his discourse with graceful
reference to the solemnity of the obligation
imposed upon him by the honor OF addressing
a body OF the young men of Washington
Hethen proceeded toargue thatno otherman
ever spoke so truly as did Jesus, and that yet,
great as were the pearls which fell from his
lips, SO far asmany of our kind are concerned,
it were as well had those pearls fallen to
swine.
Plenty was not palliative for sin; not
a cure for error. Abundance could not cure
sorrow; it often caused it. Gods views of
life was very often different from that view
which man took of it. That which wasex-
alted by man wassometimes an abomiuation
in the eve of God.

DESTINY OF man DISCUSSED
DR.. Stafford's Sermon on Does God
Want Us?"
he Stated That the Christian Philosophy
Maintains That the Creator
Is Person.

DR.. Stafford having discussed various
phases of 1.-THE destiny of man" and con-
tended that the cry of the human soul is
for God, preached a sermon last night at
st. Patrick's Church on the theme, Does
God want us?''
On the answer to this, he said, depends
the whole value of the truth of the phil
osophies he had heretofore considered
He did not think it necessary to establish
that there is a power behind natural phe-
nomena. That God is, is truth self
evident, like an axiom that cannot be
proved. The fool says in his heart
there is no God, but he does not say it
i'll his mind, distinction drawn by the
scriptural statement of that fact. God
said TO Moses, IT am, who am
Any attempt at verifying the statement
would only make it obscure. Descartes
said: Il am, therefore God is" II makes
indifference how wearrive eattheconclusion
whether by intuition, orthe doctrine Ultimate
ideas the result, the fact is the same God is.
Even the agnostic school admits that there
must be something behind nature, but assert
that we cango nofurtherthau hauthatadmission
To this the Christian philosophy replies
that it is God and that God is person.
Modern science has sought in vain for man
without the idea OF God. They have failed
TO find the link between the brute and the
man with conceptionofGod,a and thechasm
between their philosophy and the rational
view of creation ard creator, is as broad
and deep aE the chasm between heaven and
he'll. Even il we admit with Heckel the
evolution OF matter into its present phases,
il is necessary To conceive OF even greater
Intelligence than that by which God created
the world.
Heckel's problem would be more difficult
than that Of Genesis. But the manner of
creation is a secondary matter, as long as
we believe that God is, and that He is a
personality. Not long ago it was held that
one who believed in Darwinism and also
in God, was fool The first attitude
of the materialists was to disp pise the church,
the second was to patronize ii as mere
form OF human religion. But God is
coming back into science; for the scient-
lists cannot evade the conclusion that if
their domain, nature, is ineligible,
it must have an intelligent purpose.
God, then, is our Creator and must love
the work OF His hand. Man does not turn
q deaf ear or a hard heart to the brute
creation when it cries out in agony Mans
Creator, the source OF all love, must hear his
cry. But we do not stop here. David
cried out BE thou not silent, o God"
and Plato said: "Ohl that he would come
do wD."
God did hear the universal cry of manand
did come down, and Christ concluded the
revelation. He taught not only that God
is, that He is a personal God, and that He
is our creator, but that He is our Father
This last Christ taught in His answer to
those who asked Him to teach them how
to pray.
"Wheiher human reason could have at
tained to this knowledge L do not know,
but do know uiatit contains consolation
of which nothing can ever deprive human
ity."

Tomorrow evening will witness the close
of the series of lectures at Georgetown Col

mortal Hall at the college. Justice NJ F.
Morris, LII D., is professor of constitu-
tional law at Georgetown University, and
on account of thedeep research he has prose-
cuted in history for many years, is eminently
fitted to deliver discourse at once powerful
and instructive on ''The rise and fall of Mo-

NoBLEsTPART oF LIFE.

''The noblest part of life is not in human
spiendor, but in human sacrifice. And He
set before them the example of His own
crucifixion, showing that humanity has
life by the death of it's Savior The blood
of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin,
and in His own death He teaches that
he that loseth his life shah gain it,
Looking upon the discomfort and suf-
fering that breed antagonisms and riot,
we sometimes think that the closing days
of the nineteenth century, like those of the
eighteenth may be clouded with blood
shed and crime of social disorders. The
remedy for this is TO be sought by taking
for our Guidance the command of Him who
was the first knight oflabor.
"No organization, no federation, can
give final relief We must look to the
socialism of Jesus for the redemption of
society. We must take the teachings of
the whole Bible, that righteousness of
life and the spirit of the brotherhood OF
man form the foundation upon which So
ciety is TO be built and our country may
have abiding prosperity and peace.
For these teachings, for this Jesus, men
look to Christian men, and the church fails
of its mission if they do not find what they
seek in the daily life of Christ's followers" ="
DIR. Radcliffe is rather stoutly built, has
q broad, strong face, dark hair, touched
with gray, and small! side whiskers. His
eye is clear and engages attention; his
voice resonant and effective. While his
delivery is not marked by much action,
and is wholly free from attitudinizing,
his manner shows intense earnestness and
energy, and he holds his audience by an
excellence of oratory that equals his grace
of diction and originality of thought.

AFTER PULLMAN's CHARTER.
JUDGE BAKER AT CHICAGO NOW HEARING
 THE QUO WARRANTo PLEApINds

JUDGE BAKER AT CHICAGO NOW HEARING
 THE QUO wARRANTo HEADINGS.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-The hearing of the quo warranto suit of the attorney- general against the Pullman Palace Car company for forfeiture of it's charter was begun be. fore Judge Baker this morning. The trial of the suit upon its merits was not reached during the morning session, the time being taken up with the rendng of the, informa- tion and the reply of the company. The information charges the company with violation of the laws Of the state and the usurpation of powers which the state did not grant to 1t when the company's charter was issued, and asking that the charter be taken away from it. The pleas of the company deny but few of the sllega- tions of the infor nation, but attempt to justify the conduct of the defendant in the management of it's business.
 The argument on the attorney general's demurrer to the pleas began at the after noon session. Attorney. General b1aloney spoke at great length, and was followed by John s. Runnells for the Pullman com pany. The arguments occupied all the afternoon and will probably be continued tomorrow.

Samoan Ira SedY.

Reports of a shocking tragedy at
Atua have been received, says the
Samoan Herald of May Is. A
quarrel had arisen between two
families, or two sections of one
family, which ended in fight be-
tween the two sections. Three were
engaged on one side and seven on
the other, and the weapons used
were rifles and knives Of the three
two were killed, and one on the
other side. Several were wounded
somewhat seriously. One of those
killed had his head taken off and
another was literally cut in halves.
The whole affair was a purely do
nestle or tribal quarrel, and has no
political significance.

waiting. For every throb of agony
that sWelled the heart of the nation as
each bloody battle multiplied the ter
rible roll of the dead, an answering
wave of sympathy was waited Dack
from the shores of Hawaii; while from
her limited resources men and money
were freely and literally contributed
to the army, the navy and the SAM
tary commission in support Of the
great issues upon which hung the
common fate of the Western world.
And so it has been ever since. 1 some
times think that mans patriotism
increases as the square of the distance
that he is from home. Certain 1t is
that nowhere, not even in FaneulI
Hall itself is there to be found more
intense Americanism, more devotion
to the principles that America typl-
fies and represents than are TO-DAY
found in the Republic of Hawaii.
We know not what the future may
bring forth; but this we do know,
that, regardless of whatever else hap
pens. Hawaii and America, their
rulers and their people, in the years
that are to come as in the years that
are past, will each year unite IN cor
dial sympathy with the Grand Army
that is living to do honor to the sacred
memory of the Grand Army that is
dead-dead but not forgotten.
During Mr.. Thurston's address
Company B proceeded to the Carter
lot and placed a beautiful floral pill
low of marguerites with large
B in carnations In the center.
Company F went to the graves of
members who were killed in the
Kalalau expedition, where flowers
were strewn and a salute fired. A
SQUAD from the Philadelphia bat
talon went to the last resting
place of the sailors, where the beau
tiful floral emblems of the bier
prepared by the boys of the ship
were placed upon the graves. The
graves of members of the Post out
side the central lot had been decor
ated by committee from the Post
during the forenoon.

dress Adjutant w. L. Eaton read
the following roll-call of the dead:
