when Officer Henderson. happening
along, made an effort to take him to the

Henderson ventured to put hands upon
him he put up good fight. Finally he
was removed to the station in rather

KELLEY IN
THE Army
Soldiers in the Regu-
lar Army Take the
Kelley Cure
What Gen. Forsyth Says
of the Result

BY an arrangement made
with the Kelley Institute
Company some months ago
for the administration of the
Kelley Treatment for the
liquor and opium diseases at
Fort Leavenworth, soldiers in
the regular army now enjoy
the benefit of DR.. Keeley's
noted cure. While negotia-
tions were in progress Cen
era1 James w. Forsyth, COM
mander of Fort Riley, wrote
the war department, urging
that arrangements be made
by which the treatment could
be secured for soldiers at the
regular army posts. His let
ter, written as it was after a
thorough practical test of the
cure among men in his COM
mand, is an Endorsement of
remarkable weight. He has
this to say of the history Of
the Kelley work among the
Fort Riley r1en:
eve started just one year
ago, sending men to the
Kelley Institute on furlough,
and si1ce that time eighty
six men of this garrison have
been treated.
II am not speaking from
theory when I refer to the eff
fects Of the treatment. I speak
from an ample experience
from the closest observation
statements made about the
treatment being deleterious
to health are bosh. 1t is just
exactly the contrary. I have
seen these nervous, haggard,
distressed looking drunkards
go away from here, and when
reporting to me upon their
return l did not need latter
observing the complete phys
ical metamorphosis which had
taken place in one monthly, to
hear them say they never felt
better in their lives, to be-
heve the treatment had been
a physical as we'll as a moral
benefit to them.
"The effect upon discipline
here is simply marvellous. I
don't want, if l can possibly
prevent it in any way, to be
deprived of the possibility of
getting this treatment until
every man needing it in my
command has had the oppor-
tunity to procure it at a price
within his means. I
say without the slightest hes
itation that as a means of
efficiency and discipline no
measure adopted by the War
Department could possibly do
SO much good as an arrange
ment by which soldiers could
procure this treatment. y
Kansas City, Mo-, Star.

do so much for the old boys

as General Forsyth says it is,
it ought to be pretty good

jackson City Covenant With Death and
an Agreement With He'll.
Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, pastor of the
Second Baptist Church. and editor of the
Baptist Magazine, preached an eloquent
sermon on "Gambling-its effects upon
society yesterday morning to a large
congregation. The doctor paid a high
tribute to The Times for its efforts to
call attention TO the wickedness of Jackson
City, and characterized it as 1.-The cham
pion of the masses and not the peculiar
possession of the claSSes.'
He said society is civilized humanity
in the aggregate and is the result OF mutual
intercourse ard intelligent cooperation.
Its basic principles are religion and mo-
rality. Man is an element in social life
Whatever of intelligence OF character he
brings 10 a community is his contribution
TO the well being of the whole people.
Dr. Johnson asserted that il is the duty
Of every member OF society 10 guard with
sleeplcss vigilance, against every evil
that threatens to disturb the order and
moral health of the community.
Jackson City is a cesspool of vice and
immortality; a dispenser Of poison more

PEACE EANDoRDER THREATENED.

Gamblers and Other Criminals Must Be
Driven From Their Stronghold.
A large congregation greeted the Rev.
Hez Sven at the First Baptist Church, cor
ner Fourth street and Virginia avenue,
yesterday morning. During the course OF
his remarks, Mr.. Sven said:
THE movement inaugurated by The
Washington Times to drive the gamblers
and other criminals out of this fair city is
one with Which | am in the most hearty
accord. 1t is thing that every Christian
should aid in trying to blot off the face Of
the earth.
"a vice that is so far-TeaChing in ITS evil
consequences threatens the peace and order
of any community and should be stamped
out by the vigorous cooperation of every
right-minded citizen
THE fair fame of Virginia is blasted by
this pest hole in her boundaries and the
overflow has reached us and defiles the
very seat of the nation 1t is not only men
who are fostering the evil practices that
exist, but women also have plunged into
this sea OF vice. am sorry TO say, and
are lending their aid to keep it up.
Homes are threatened by the vile con-
tamination which spreads out and over
society, eating its noxious way into the
very midst OF moral influence. and it is the
duty of all Christians To exert counter
effect by example, and force If need be, and
TO stop this onward flow of vice before
il has gone too far to control"
Mr.. SVEN spoke in the same vein at the
evening service Yesterday impressing
upon his hearers the vital necessity of join
ing in the crusade against vice.

Rev. L. o. Tongue Calls Upon Citizens Il
Suppress Gambling

Rev. Il. o. Tongue Calls Upon Citizens to
Suppress Gambling
The Rev. Thomas O. Tongue, pastor OF
Grace Episcopal Church, in South Wash
ington, delivered a sermon on Gambling"
to the congregation last evening.
"society's security depends on our max
ing the proper laws and keeping them, -
said Mr.. Tongue 'Thelaws should be Just,
for they should be based upon the laws
of God Every community has two classes
of people, those who act from principle and
those who are selfish and care nothing for
the law. One is protector and the other
is not
1.-THE law of the country it is the duty
OF every Christian citizen TO maintain. If
men will gamble, in every case il viii
bring them TO harm. The reason gamblingis
wrong is that il brings no return and every
honest transaction Will bring a return.
1--WE all expect return when money
passes from one hand to another. The
return may not be money or presents, but
affection or love, and every Eonest trans
action is bound TO bring this return
Mr.. Tongue said that the city was full Of
evils. and that Christian people should be
protected The time is coming when every
one should know their duty and do IL.
No police force could b. large enough TO
protect homes and families and If things
continue as they at present are weshall need
protection He said that il was time for
people TO begin To think OF these things.
We must have a city Of which Christian
people viii b. proud, and the duty OF every
citizen is 10 rise up in Indignation and
down this evil.

TINE FOR a NEW CRUSADE.

Rev. DIR. Browns Strong Charge Concern
ing the Race Track and Jackson City.
a large and interested congregation at
tended the Foundry Church last night to
hear Rev DR., Browns sermon, The new
crusade" which he devoted to a review
of the criminal condition of Jackson City
and the outlaw race track, which is stu
ated near it.
He faithfully portrayed the blot which
this place is upon our fair city, and called
upon the citizens of washington TO rise
in body and suppress it. In this church,
at least, the matter will not be allowed to
grow cold.
Il have been invited by one Of the daily
journals in our city 10 join other ministers
in calling the attention OF the people To the
nest of infamy which lies a little more
than a rivers breadth from our beautiful
city / am and l think all Christians
should be profoundly interested in all cues
tions OF public moment whether social,
political, moral, or religious.
What we need most of all to-day is the
personal interest of more good people in
all great reforms The tree Christian will
be on the side of everything which looks
toward the betteTment OF society and will
be distinctly and pronouncedly against
everything which hinderS the we'll being
of every fellow-citiZen.
IF ever there was q time for a new
crusade it is now. And the young and the
old in the church Of God should be banded
together in a holy union to redeem our
beautiful city from everything that would
stain its name and fame"
Dr.. Brown then went on to say that
be was not thoroughly familiar with the
laws of Virginia relating to gambling, but
If all of the influence which could be
brought to bear was exerted, he was
confident that Jackson City with it's dens
of vice and outlawed race track could be
wiped from the face Of the earth.

lessness and dishonesty of every kind
and knowing also that Eorse-racing every

give not only whole columns but whole

DO You need to be told? Is il true that
the papers that come into our homes must
thrive upon the gamblers winnings and
take part with them in Corrupting pu bile
morality, and by diffusing Information
acting almost as pool-room centers TO pro-
vide inducements to their readers to gamble

Another species of robbery is gambling

IL is both a scandal and shame. This cor

''No gambleris an honest man. Whenever

The desperation TO bettirg and gambling

be made TO repress this natural passion.
The curse has assumed gigantic proper

Rev E. o. Eldridge, pastor of Waugh
NJ. E. Church, at the corner of Third and A
streets northwest, preached last night to
avery large ecougregationfromt the teXtfound
in the Acts of the Apostle, second chapter
and fourth verse. His theme was Our
Generation"
THE human body he said in the course
of his remarks, lis so constituted that it
needs three meals day, as much as d lamp
needs oil. To meet these wants God has
girdled the earth with orchards OF apples
and peaches, and fields of grain, and
filled tie waters with fish and the ptairieS
with cattle. understanding this,
majority are suffering from lack of food or
improper food. Man. OF the & reateSt
estates OF to-day have been built out OF the
blood aud bones OF unreGuited toll.
The body needs clothing. God knows
how many are suffering from want of ap-
parel There is the evidence about us OF
reckless waste and dire want. This is
genera tion worth saving. There are
most magnificent men and women in it,.
Improvements are manifest in machinery of
all kinds, but all these are insignificant
when compared with improvements in the
race.
IF not saved ourselves, we will never
save anybody else. How are We to save
ourselves and our fellows? By accepting
the offer of Christ and doing what He
commands.
Referring incidentally to the evils of the
day, as in part responsible for the desti-
tuition that prevails, he included the gam
bling devices in vogue at Jackson City, and
commended The Times for its exposition
OF them.

Rev. Van ArsdeIe Says the Church Ought

Rev. W. W. Van Arsdale, pastor OF the
Fifteenth Street NJ. E. Church, as a pre-
lude TO his regular morning discourse
made special reference TO the work of The
Times in exposing the evils of the Alexan-
der Island race course, and said its effort
TO eXpel so great a nuisance should have
the hearty support of the church.
He referred to a sermon of his upon 8
previous occasion, when he discussed
Gambling" as a vice, ard said he could
add nothing upon the present occasion ex-
cept TO emphasize the views then expressed.
He commended the position of The Times
in strong terms, and added that if the

stand together, as they now seemed to be
doing. there was no doubt of the successful
outcome of the movement against the helm

that obtain among sporting men. Its prac-
tices, as exposed by The Times, are SO
notoriouSly and infamously bad that other
sporting organizations, such as the American
Jockey Club and the Western Turf Congress,
have refused to give it fellowship.
1T appears from The Times that there is
ample ground for procedure against TINS
company as maintaining nuisance, and it
is the duty OF both Alexandria and WASH
ington TO see that some effective action is
speedily taken to put an end to this dis
graceful and demoralizing business.
after speaking of the prevalence of the
gambling spirit and how several States
have driven out the race track gamblers
he continued:
Alexander Island seems to be pre-
eminent in this respect. So far as absence
OF law is concerned ii seems to be the very
paradise for the sporting fraternity. at
all events they have come here in full
force and come with the intent to stay.
1t is claimed that crooks of national re-
pute, crooks known to the police OF almost
every city, are here in large numbers and
that they are allowed to ply their misera-
BILE trade within the precincts Of this dis
puted territory and under the very eyes of
the police without a shadow of molesta-
ton. Is there nothing the decent people
of Washington and Alexandria can do
to free themselves from the invasion of
these Goths and Vandals of modern civil
"a ton?
"If it is legally possible for a neigh
boring State to permit an institution which
menaceS the peace, order, and safety OF
our city to plant itself right across our
borders and carry on business every where
indlcJablc at common law then II would
seem to be within the power of that State
TO utterly ruin the properly oi Unls city and
to nj AXE it positively unnhabitabie by meas
ures against which we have no legal pro-
lection.
Suppose the State of Virginia chooses,
for a consideration, 10 permit the estab-
liShment OF a plant such as the garbage
repository at Alexander Island, which
shall load the air we breathe with noXlods
ami offensive odors 10 an extent destruc-
tive of all health aud comfort, would the
mere fact that it was on Virginia's sacred
soil prevent us from having any redress
under the law? II it would, it is high
time that our doctrine of State or local
rights found still further modification.
If ii would not, then / hold that there
must be some legal way OF ubliglng Nir-
ginia TO enforce the law in this ease A
moral stencil may be quite as damaging
TO the best interests of u community as
one that affects only the outward sense OF
smell
Don't let us imag gine then that we are
going to effect any permanent reform in
gambling except we create sound ethical
public sentiment by which we shall cover
the whole sphere Of business and social re-
lations. Every man CANDLES who is intent
on getting and careless OF earning: whose
risks are for self and not for others. The
dominance of this spirit is the essence Of
hell; the rule of its opposite is the Kingdom
of Heaven ~
