at the dance pavilion. aud though an extra

GEN. BATCHELDER RETIRES.
Famous War officer Reaches the Age
Limit Today.

Famous War Officer Reaches the Age
Limit Today.
Having reached the age limit today, Gen.
Richard n. Batchelder, Quartermaster
general OF the regular Army, will go on the
retired list. His Army record is an envia BILE
one and few men can count more houors
than have been shOwered upon him for
bravery in the field and diligent duty to his
post i'll after war days. He has been
awarded medals ofhonor by acts OF Congress.
Among his hrevets is one given for most
distinguished gallantry in action" This
gallantry was yed in October OF s63
against band of Mosby's guerrillas in
Virginia.
Gen. Batclieider was twcnty-nine years
of age when the war broke out. He was
then at his birthplace, Meredith, n. H.,
and was one of the tirst to enlist, joining
the First New Hampshire Regiment of
which he was wassoonappointedq quartermaster.
With astonishing rapidity he fully equipped
his regiment for action.
His superiors reco gnized his ability and he
was constantly promoted. In 1851 he was
chief quartermaster OF the Observation
Corps; the year 1862 found him chief
quartermaster second division of the Sec
ond Corps of the Army OF the Potomac. In
January, 1868, he was again promoted,
this time being made eIieutenant-colonel and
chief quartermaster, Second Corps, Army
of the Potomac. Two promotions came to
him in 1s64-in June, acting chief quarter
master OF the Army OF the Potomac, and
twomonths later the duties OF chief quarter
master were trusted to him. In this
position he showed his marked ability as an
organizer and director OF large amounts
of supplies and numerous baggage trains.
All his superiors were lavish in praising him.
Gen. Grant is quoted as saying OF Gen.
Batchelder:
Tits with officers with such qualifica tions
that 1t is desirable we should fill up the
standing Army"
Who will succeed the retiring quarter
master is still in the dark. Among the
men most prominent for the position are
Col. G. H. Weeks OF this city; Col. James NJ.
Moore, stationed at New York city; Col.
Charles G. SawtelIe. stationed at Governors
Island, N Y and Col. Marshall T Ludington,
stationed at Chicago.

NOTED OUT-OF- -TOWNORATOR
DR.. Dickey Preached at the New
York Avenue Church.
Urged His Hearers to Tell to All
the Reason of the Hope
Within Them.

In the absence of Rev. Wallace Radcliffe,
pastor Of the New York Avenue Presby-
terrain Church, the pulpit was occupied at
both services yesterday by Rev. Charles
A. Dickey, u. d. of Bethany Presbyterian
Church. OF Philadelphia. Dr. Dickey is
noted pulpit orator and quite a large
congregation gathered on both ocoa sions
to hear hint. For his evening sermon
he took as his text: .And be ready always
to give an answer to every man that
askcth reason OF the hope that is in you
with meekness and fear" I. Peter, Hills
He said in part:
You will notice that the text reads
not the hope that is In You but :he reason
of the hope. This is what we are told
to give always to every man that asketh.
II we but followed out the instructions
here given, If there were in the church
as many workers as believers, 10 not
believe that it would be long befn-. we
would hear the rumbling of the wheels
of Gods coming and chariot. yon ray
that this Is all very well to preach hut
the people are Indifferent and repuise
any attempts made to enlighten thsn on
religious matters. From my own ex-
perienec / know that this is false. ray
unto you that have never yet apprna :hed
man or woman in a straightforward
manly manner TO tell the old. old story
and IN CT with repulse Go out and tell the
reason of the hope that is in you. In
street car, on corner, in crowd, in public
and private, tell the reason. We should
tell HISTORY because of our sense OF loyalty
to Jesus Christ and because W. may be
helpful to others.
"There Is common charity which we
recognize out of our religious life. There is
a fraterHal feeling which bids us share
gifts with our fellow-men. The telling of
this reason to our brethren is an oblig ton
which is very easy. I might exhort you to
great sacrifices and still not 60 outside of
the things entoined upon you by the
Scriptures. The telling is so easy. but
yet most Of us are dumb Christians. We
are silent while the dying world is all about
us. What are the reasons for our hope?
The Bible is one and the other is our ex-
perence. All your efforts to save others
will be fruitiess until you yourself know
full well that you have sanctified in your
heart the love OF God.
"witb meekness and fear we are told
TO tell the reason. Not boastfully, not
with ostenta ton, but with an humble, con-
trite heart. 1 am afraid that at the present
da IS there is too much pride in spirituality.
This is the most dangerous kind of pride.
Another danger comes from getting expert
testimony too soon. Men Just out Of the
mire are sometimes sent through the
street proclaiming their saliva ton and tell
ing OF the reason of their hope. This is a
matter Of growth and requires time for its
consumma ton. More and more let US
give testimony. nearer and nearer let us
draw TO our fellow-men. telling the reason
OF the hope that is in us with meekness and
fear"

preacher quoted to his lsners the famous
words OF Nelson at Trafalgar, England
expects every man to do his duty and the
terse sentence of Gen. Grant at the end of
the war, Let us have peace
There are two kinds of fitly-spoken words,
he said, those of warning and those Of
comfort. In the remainder of the sermon
