Old Orchard, July 16 The Interde-
nominational convention has to contend
against the cold, and last evening against
tho rain, but the attendance is fair and
the preaching much above the average
Rev. DR.. Bates, presides at all the meet
ings and distinguished clergymen take
part.
At the morning session Rev. DIR.
Hamlen, who has long been engaged in
mission work in the South, preached, and
this afternoon Rev. O. G. Chambers of
Toronto, led the service.
Mrs. Walter Russell, who has for some
time been engaged in evangelical work
with great success, preached at the eve
ming session from Luke XVI, 10, reading
| the well known story of the rich man and
the beggar at his gate. She said the story
presented three pictures, life, death and
eternity, and then gave a very vivid and
Interesting series Of word paintings of the
events described, adopting modern terms,
and applying modern ideas. She described
the great wheat fields through which she
passed on her way to Old Orchard from
her distant field of labor, and then spoke
OF the spiritual field for the eternal
harvest.
She made an eloquent appeal to the
Christians present to do more, better and
immediate work for Christ Memory is
and mustsbe. Immortal, and it will be
with the keenest regret that in eternity
Christians will think 81 failed to speak
to that man when 1 might have led him
to Christ, and now he Is lost. -
The stream of life is but narrow at
f1rst and it is an easy thing to cross from
one side to the other, from the left bank
to the right, but as we grow older it
grows wider and wider until there is all
the difference between its banks that
there is between eternal life and eternal
death, between time and eternity. We
try to throw bridges across this river, but
the OILY safe bridge that we can trust is
that laid down by Christ himself. Other
bridges may seem to reach the other side,
but it will prove to be an optical de-
lusion.
1t is best to be sure. Trusting that two
watches must be right she missed a
train, and with it an appointment, be
cause they were five minutes SLOW There
was another train in the afternoon and
that in some measure made it right, "but

the firsJ meet of the season 1t was chilly
enough for October, while the clouds
hung heavily all day, threatening rain at
any moment The conditions undoubted-
ly affected the attendance in a great de-
gree, but did not prevent those present
from enjoying some good sport.
Mr. James Culbertson of Chicago made
his debut as a starter in New England
and was highly successful. His work
was warmly commended on every hand.
He had three fields to handle, each one
of which contained some rather gamey
animals but he got them all off with

tie for the money. Sappho, the winner,
is black mare by Wilmar, has all the
ear marks of q good game racer and
should be a good money winner
for her owner.
Second on the card came the 2. 81 pace,
looked on as cinch for Bumps, with his
record of 212 IA, made at Old Orchard
last week, and it turned out to be SO,
though Violet L. forced him to new
mark of 2. II "a in the first heat and kept
him to his clip in both the others.
Bumps, Violet L. and Annie Shedd found
a class by themselves in this race, hay
ing monopoly on the first three posit-
ions. They finished one, two, three in
all three heats. Somebody got an idea
that Quinn was OF trying to win with
Violet L. in the second heat, the result
being that Col. Calvin was put in by the
judges for the third trip. Bumps, how
ever, could outspeed the black gelding
with the effeminate name at any stage of
the game, so the change made no altera-
tion in the positions to the finish. Pussy
Cats two fours in the summary gave her
chance to save her entrance money.
Eleven starters Epulled out for the 2. 20
trot Dennis, the four-year-old gelding,
winner of two heats in the 2.19 class at
Old Orchard, was in the hands of his new
owner, A. J. Feek, who has been known
for years as one Of the surest and most
honorable men ever connected with the
trotting turf and one of the best drivers
that ever sat in a sulky. 1t was Mr..
Feek's first race Of the year ssand he
showed that he had lost none of his old
time cunning with the ribbons by clever

John BURNS SPEAKS.

CHICAGO. Dec. 21.-John Burns
made an address to trades unionists
at Turner hall last night. Among 9TH
er things he said
1--WE have all ssen how an imitation
of trade is followed by period of de-
preston. We see poverty following on
the heels of prosperity, and at shorter
intervals than it once did. Thomas
Carlysle has said that the greatest evil
with which modern society was con-
fronted was industrial anarchy and the
resulting political disintegration. 1t
matters not whether country be new
or old industrial anarchy and the re-
sulting evils of social vice and disorder
prevail. Whether a government is
mOnarchial or democratic makes but
little difference as far as the condition
of the working classes is concerned.
Here in this country you do not have
the military aristocracy that we have
in England but you have the aristocra-
cy of the speculator and the monopo-
list and as far as the two evils are CON
cerned it is choice between the devil
and the deep sea-"
The speaker read the celebrated
prophecy of Abraham Lincoln in which
he outlined the struggle between CAPT
tai and labor, which, in his vision, was
the greatest menace to the prosperity
of his country, and he added that he
/ uuduId rathar bava ipooIn on tho eide
of John Burns than dozen million
aires. The prophecy ofLincoln had come
TO pass. The happiness of whole com
munities was dominated by the Jay
Goulds, and the Astors left this coun.
try after having sucked its wealth to
seek favor Of the aristocracy of the con.
tinent.
To save the republic from these con
ditions the speaker urged his hearers
not to tear up the railroads and wreak
destruction by dynamite, but to nun
iclpaliZe monopoly after monopoly un
til they were all in the hands of the
people. Organized labor must take &
stand in behalf of the people and de
mand political and social equality
through the municipalization of the
monopolies. In this work of SAVING
the country from the hands of few
men who were trying to throttle it
they would have the sympathy of every
labor leader and trades union IN thu
old country. They must hang together
or they would hang separately.

Moral Sense.
General Dow is as strongly opposed to
the use of tobacco as he is to liquor drink
ing, and has carried on lifelong crusade
against it. He always has claimed that
tobacco dulls the moral sense.

roads, man travelling in stage-coach with
Dow one day lighted cigar.

Who was it that went around before

decent lying? We think it was the re-
