The moonlight excursion given by
Winona Council, Jr. o. y. <. NJ, Ia
Washington Park Wednesday was an
enjoyable affair. The park is one Of
the best amusement resorts on the
river and those who attended the ex-
cursion had delightful time. There
was nothing to mar the pleasure Of
the cScursiouists save the fog which
interfered with the return Of the boat
and caused some delay. The attend
ance was large and there was not the
slightest semblance of disorder. The
committee having the affair in charge
are deserving of communication. They
were congratulated that night by many
passengers for having selected such a
nice place and such an excellent boat
rs the Twilight on which to make the
trip. The treasury Of the council will
be benefited considerably.

The members of the Board of Park
Commissioners Wednesday night held a
meeting on the drive. A portion of
the route was gone over, and com
promise between the two routes was
suggested. The matter of fixing the
course finally was left to President
Candy, Superintendent Lessen and City
Engineer Wilson. The only material
change suggested was one that will not
interfere with the clump of rocks near
Van Buren, street. After the drive was
discussed the members held a confer
ence with the members Of City Coun-
ell, who were looking at the new lands
which are desirable for park purposes
The matter Of purchasing the lots is
now IN the hands of the finance com
mittee Of City Council, with power to
act.

1T is one thing to profess faith ana qulte

Falls Church, who, yesterday morning III
the absence of the pastor, Rev. george
n Luccock filled the pulpit at the Met
ropolitan Presbyterian Church, corner ID
and Fourth streets southeast
Rev. Mr Nourse took his text from st.
Matthew 8, % why are ye fearful, .,
We Of little faith?" and his subject was:
The UnbelIef of believers"
This was the interrogatory answer OF
Christ To his disciples when they became
alarmed that they would be shipwrecked on
the Sea of Galilee, and goes TO show, MT.
Nourse said, that while they proie ssed

Hemeans we can move apparent iinpos slpiil-

universe is run on faith, and nothing more

DURANT'S TRIAL AT HAND.

(By Associated Press0
san Francisco. July 21-The trial or
william Henry Theodore Durant for the
murder of Blanche Lamont in the Emanuel
Baptist Church begins in the Superior
Court tomorrow.
Seventy-five citizens have been summoned
to report at that hour, but such strong
public sentiment existed against the ac-
cused at the time OF his arrest that II IS
believed twelve men viii not be obtained
from this number In order to overcome
any possibility of a jury not being secured
seventy-tive additional jurors have been
summoned to appear on Wednesday
From the hour of the opening of court
until the case is ended there VIII be d
bitter legal battle. The police are pos
itive of securing a CONVICTION and the de-
fense is just as positive OF acquittal.
The evidence on the part of the pros
ecution VIII be entirely circum stantial.
4 complete chain, which cannot be broken,
has teen woven, say the police, but the de
fense has intimated that an alibi VIII be
presented which Will break every link.
Durant expressed great confidence IN
the outcome. He maintains his innocence
and has hinted that some startling ev-
idence viii be given in his favor, but VIII
not say what the nature of IL is.
II is thought the trial VIII last at least
two weeks Should a verdict OF acqulttal
be rendered he must still answer for the
murder of Minnie Williams. The strong

WOODWARD WILL REPORT
He Completes His Investigation Of
Garbage-Desroying Systems.
VIII Tell the Commissioners the Out
come of His Tray els Early This
Week.

Dr. VIM. G. Woodward returned TO the
city at 1 O'Clock Saturday night from New
York and Camdep, where he Went to in
spect the garbage destroying systems oper-
ated at the two places. He had been gone
since Tuesday, and this VIII doubtless be
his last trip on similar business.
II VIII summarize the results of my
Investigations, said Dr. Woodward, land
make a report to the Commissioners OF
what l have learned l will also make
what recommendations / think proper TO
them and VIII make suggestions where l
believe improvements can be made in any
one system.
'Of course 1 cannot state prior to my
report what system l shall recommend,
ard in fact do not clearly know until have
furthered my comparison of the plans be-
fore me. Neither do ! think it proper TO
describe the workings of the plants 1 have
already seen. | can only refer TO the names
OF the systems inspected.
81 saw the Engle crematory in operation
at Couey Island and the New York Hospital.
There is also a similar plant at the New
York Hospital for Contagious Diseases.
At New Burton, Staten Island, l saw the
BrowDlee crematory which was until re-
Gently in operation. All of these are similar
in their construction and workings TO the
Dixon"
Down at Camden, N j., saw the Dixon
crematory in operation burning pure gar
bage. All of these plants intended for the
complete destruction Of garbage serve
reasonably well the purposes for which
they are intended. AS rule about sixty
pounds Of ashes is left TO each ton of garbage
consumed This ashes is OF some value
when used as q fertilizer.
There is another system in operation at
! Blissyille, l. 1T is called the improved
Mertz's rendering establishment In this
the aim is not TO completely destroy the
! garbage, but to extract its valuable in
! gradients. When the garbage Is rendered
/ on an average sixty pounds OF grease is
/ extracted from a ton OF refuse matter
This is marketable at about three cents
/ per pound
THE residue is dried and ground and the
result il about 40Oor 500 pounds OF tarkage
/ out OF the ton This is worth from 81
to IS a ton The tin cans that are in
the garbage and must be removed before IT
can be rendered VIII bring 81 load fol
the pewter in them
DR. woodward absolutely declined 70
make any comparison between the systems
or 10 enter into a further description oI
any of them.

Faith In the Eternal the Theme of DR..
Cases Discourse

Cases Discourse
Looking at things not seen" was the
theme OF Rev Watson Cases discourse at
the Grace NJ E. Church yesterday morning
He spoke from the text: While we look
not at the things which are seen but at
the things which are not seen" as found
in III Cor, Alb. Among other things he
said
Reading these words the question at
once arises, how can we look upon things
not seen? The eye was created TO behold
objects that are visible How can it see
things that are not visible; that are be-
yond the range of its power? 1t obviously
cannot, for IT is q material organ Never
theless, some things are realized without
the aid OF the eye.
THE spiritual eve independent OF bodily
organs brings the mind and heart iii COM
munication with invisible and spiritual
realities, for the things which are seen
are temporal. but the things which are not
seen are eternal Some OF these temporal
things are life, infancy, youth, maturity
old age works of man, sciences, art, riches
and fame. They Will soon pass away, OF
sooner we shall pass away from them
Death Will close the bodily eyes,
Brooding over our troubles adds misery
to sorrow but IL We viii look away from
the seen to the unseen we viii find there
Is no necessity for anxiety. The suTferlngs
of this world are not worthy 10 be compared
with the glory which shall be revealed IN
US For our Light afflicton, which IS Tor
a moment woTketn for US far more
exceeding and eternal weight OF glory
Looking at spiritual realities makes tenn
poral things and severe afflictions appear
as though they continued for only short
while, and in Paul's estimation only d
moment. Paul says its worketh fcr US q
far more exceeding and eternal weight, but
when does II 90 this? Why, when we look
not at the things which are seen.
From this standpoint, what a great
value there is IN trials for Christian.
Fastening our faith vision upon things IN
visible and eternal will strengthen anC
ripen the Christian chaTactermore than any
thing else, for faith is the principle tha'
unites US with things not seen, that unltes
us 10 God and Christ, to the Holy spIrlt
to the saints and angels and 70 the ever
/ lasting Kingdom OF the everlasting God.
