DELAYED By a GALE.
First Sea Trip of the Battle-Ship IndtGn'
POsfDOned.

First Sea Trip of the Battle-Ship Indiana
Postponed.
DELAWARE BREAKWATER, DEL,
Oct. 13.-The battle-ship Indiana did not
go to sea this afternoon as was expected,
but at 10 o'clock tonight was still anchored
at The Brown, few miles above here.
Since early yesterday morning a north
east gale had been blowing along the coast.
This wind kicks up an ugly sea along the
north Atlantic seaboard, and as the
Indiana, like all battle-ships, is likely to
prove wet seaboat in heavy weather, it is
probable the comfort of those aboard was
consulted and it was decided to remain
within the capes until the gale broke.
AS the Indiana did not start for Boston
this afternoon, as was planned, she cannot
reach there now if she starts out to-nighG
or early tomorrow before late Tuesday
afternoon instead of early Tuesday morn
ing as expected.

Smith, one of the picturesque characters OF
frontier days, has passed away at South

armed with six-shooters and bowie knives,
he presided over house announced on a
battered sign-board to be Saloon, Hotel,
City Marshal's Office, Justice of the Peace,
Groceries, etc." Smith followed his varie-
gated vocation with success, and died a
wealthy man.

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, Oct. 13.-'rhere
was loss of life and great damage to prop
erty last night in the Winnipeg district by
prairie fires. The fires started about 8
o'clock in the afternoon and spread with
cyclonic rapidity, destroying haystacks
and dwellings.
AT Elm Creek station Thomas Hannah
and Ed Lubyan were burned to death
while fighting the flames AT st. Vital
Arthur st. German, aged II. was burned
to crisp, and his brother was fatally in
jured while endeavoring to save haystacks
on their fathers farm. At Headingly D.
TAFT, young farmer, was caught BY the
flames while driving home and badly
burned.
Other fatalities will doubtless be reported
tomorrow, as telegraphic communication

Rest.
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, Oct. 13-Corbett
spent all of to-day training. He began
work at o'clock and quit at o'clock this
evening. Several hundred people visited
his quarters to see him train, but only a
few friends were admitted to witness the
exercises.
Corbett received a telegram tonight from
Manager Brady, who is at Hot Springs,
telling him to leave for the latter place to-
morrow. The telegram further stated that
training quarters had been secured and
that protection was guaranteed. Corbett
was seen by the United Press correspond
ent soon after receiving the telegram and
asked if ne intended following Bra dy's in
strustions to leave for Hot Springs.
Yes" said Corbett, 81 and my party
will leave here tomorrow night. The
announcement in the telegram that
protection is guaranteed is pleas
ant surprise to me. don't
know, however, whether 1t means
that protection is guaranteed me while
training or that there will be no interfer-
ence at the fight. l certainly hope that
the fight can be pulled off and that we will
not meet with the same trouble in Arkan-
sas that we have in Texas"
1t is apparent that Corbett still doubts
the ability of the Florida, Athletic Club to
bring off the fight at Hot Springs, not
withstanding to-night's telegram from
Brady.
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS, Oct. 13.-
F1tzslmmon's training-quarters presented
lively appearance this afternoon.
Business men and clerks turned out to
see him. He took a five-mile run this
morning from Alta Vista Hotel to his

work Fitzsimmons seemed as fresh as
when he started.

ADDRESSED BY MOODY.
intellectual Treats for the Syracuse Con

Intellectual Treats for the Syracuse Con :
rentiOn Delegates.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct. 13.-The distin-
guished delegates to the Congregational
Council now in session in this CITY fur
| nished Syracuse church-goers with many
| rare intellectual treats to-day. Every pull
pit in the city, with the exception of those
| in Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches,
was filled by some eloquent Congregational
| divine. The churches were thronged both
morning and evening.
The principal attraction was the speech
of Rev. Dwight L. Moody, the famous
evangelist. In the morning he preached
mastery sermon to the delegates only in
Plymouth Church.
The sermon was followed by the sacra-
ment of the Lords supper, which was un-
usually imposing on account of the large
number of ciergymen who participated
and the manner IN which it was conducted
by Mr.. Moody and other noted clergymen.
In the afternoon Mr.. Moody addressed a
| meeting for men only at the First Presbv-
terian Church.
The Alhambra, recently the scene of the
Democratic State Convention, never before
held such crowd as thronged it to hear
the evangelist in the evening. Fully 20
600 people were present and listened to the
eloquent sermon in Moody's characteristic
style on the text, "Unless man be born
again he cannot enter into the kingdom of
heaven
Among the speakers at the city churches
were Rev. ]. w. Mclean of California,
Rev. D. Barnes Griffith of Kansas, Rev.
F. D. Sergeant of Missouri. Rev. A, l..
Frisbie of Iowa and G.. A. Gates of Iowa.

evening. He sent word to the United

ALCOHOL NOT A STIMULANT.

DR.. James Edmunds says: al
cohol is not a stimulaut at all when
We come to examine it. 1t never
acts like anything but a paralyzer.
What are the reasons for which it
has been argued that alcohol in small
doses is a stimulant, instead OF
narcotic, as it is in full doses?
These that while in the one the brain
is paralyzed, in the other the man
will talk faster; that while In the one
the mans heart is paralyzed and his
vessels distended, In the other the
mans heart acts more vigorously,
and his pulse beats more strongly.
And it is inferred, that because his
heart beats more strongly, and the
blood vessels seem to be more active,
the circulation must go on more
actively, and that in case of faintlng
and in case of accident, the clrcula-
ton will be kept up when otherwise
it would fail Let me ask If there IS
not a more probable explanation of
the force with which the heart acts
under the influence of a small dose
of alcohol, than that of supposing
that the influence is in the one case,
that of a narcotic, in the other that
of a stimulant. We have an analogy
IN the act of breathing. When we
see a man breathing quietly, we
know that he is comfortable, but
when we see a man with asthma, we
know that the air cannot get into his
chest, nor it's circulation go on right
in his lungs We see him breathing
with most wonderful vigor, let us
call it. Is that any better for the
man? Is that any Indication that he
has got more air? No Psychologist
would for a moment suggest that 1T
was. He would say that the terrible
breathing we see when an asthmatic
petient leans out Of the window and
strains all his breathing muscles to
gasp for air, was an indication he
could not get air into him. instead of
an indication he got more air. Yet,
this is precisely analogous illustre-
ton, and the parallel will be held If
we analyze it by every scientific and
physiological test"-Y. w. @. L. y l..

Dedicate Their First Temple of Worship
in America.
SAN Francisco, June 2-An event
that will De noted throughout the
civilized world was the dedication in
San Francisco yesterday of the first
Methodist Japanese church editice in
the United States. Several church
organizations exist and some very
effective evangelical work has been
done by the Presbyterians, Advent
lists and Methodists in this country,
vet no temple of worship was erected
for the Japanese until the Method
lists took hold of the work with their
usual vigor and spirit. The result IS
q beautiful house of worship on the
south side of Pine street, between
Hyde and Larkin.
The ground, building and equip
ment of the church cost, according
to the report of the treasurer, S2O,-
900. To pay off the entire debt out
standing the sum of $1,000 must be
raised, and DR.. III. G. Harris, presld-
ing elder, announced that he intend
ed to take a Bible in one hand, and
subscription paper in the other and
90 to every American citizen OF his
acquaintance and extend the prlVll-
eye of subscribing something to
iquidate the debt.
Rev. DIR. Hirst asked him which
hand he intended to carry the sub
scription in, and the elder replied,
The right hand"
The auditorium of the temple Is
on the second floor. 1t will accom-
modate 400 people. Light is sup
piled by six chandeliers and alter

college. He came to this State and
was admitted to the California NJ b;
Conference, being now an ordained
minister. In the promotion OF the
mission work among the Japanese IN

cessful leaders. All the visiting
clergymen yesterday gave testimony
to his zeal aud perseverance IN the
work.

WHAT A FROGS cRoAk DID.
A Peculiar Incident That Led to the i

e
A Peculiar Incident That Led to the In
vention Of the Telephone.
1t is not common knowledge, except
to those familiar with electrical and
telephone history, that the (rst telephone
was constructed in Racine, Wis, and
that the inventor, DR.. S. d. Cushman,
isnow a resident of Chicago. His offices
are in the Stock Exchange building
Here the venerable inventor, who built
the first telegraph lines in this part Of
the "far west, J" ipursues his business
with more alertness in affairs than the
average young man.
In q corner of the room is large,
worn piece Of muslin, on which is
painted in thin color representation Of
a telegraph line stretching away in the
distance, connected with crude instru-
ment set on two logs. near which frog
is sitting by stream. This old relic
represents the telegraph line Of 'sgood
cedar posts" which DR.. Cushman con-
structed west from Racine for the Erie
and Michigan Telegraph company in
1851, and the experimental lightning
o11OooOI WAAOA lou w AlIo uIoCON6Iy.
1t is reminder of the days when DR..
Cushman was associated with Professor
Morse in the pioneer days of telegraphy.
On his desk is the first telephone trans
mitter, constructed in 1851, % years be-
fore the Bell patents were taken out. It
is small, square box, with a speaking
orifice and containing mechanism on
the same principle as that Of the modern
transmitter.
In 1851 DR.. Cushman undertook the
construction of lightning arrester, his
object being to take the lightning that
struck the wire and run it into the
ground, the instrument being so con-
structed that it would not interfere with
the light current used in telegraphing.
This instrument was placed out on the
prairie on two logs, and in order to
know when it had operated a triple
magnet, with a sheet Of thin iron at
the poles, similar in construction to a
modern receiver, was placed in the
corner of the box. In case the lightning
passed through the instrument the cleo
tro magnet would pull this strip of iron
down into the range Of permanent
magnet, which would retain it until the
instrument was inspected.
A similar device was placed in the
basement Of the building at Racine and
connected with the other end of the line.
One day while thunderstorm was COM
ing up and DR.. Cushman was watching
the instrument the croaking Of frogs
was heard Is miles away. This is the
explanation Of how the old painting
with the crude instrument and the
croaking frog is identified with the dis
covery Of the telephone.

fire alarm system in use in Chicago His
