"THE YOUNG MEN"
The Third in the Present Series of Dis
 courses by Rev. Dr Mutoh.


 Last evening at the Howard avenue Congregational church the pastor, Rev. Dr. Mutch, delivered the third in the very interesting series of discourses which he is preaching on Sunday even- ings. The subject last night was 'The Young Man at His Recreation" In his address he said:
 '"The horse gets his natural. recrea- tion in eating and sleeping, but even the horse needs a chance to see his lit tie world at least once a week without looking through collar and bridle. If he is to be a noble animal there must be some opportunity for the better ele- ments of his nature to make headWay.
 "In so far as the higher self-conscious life of man is more than the higher life of a horse, in so far is his recreation a matter of more than merely physical concern. Recreation Is not for the stomach or brain or muscular system alone. but for the whole man-body, mind and soul
 "In a condition of society such as ours economy requires an ever closer figuring of cost, of time and of re- sources Recreation is becoming an ever more important factor of life, and it Is important that it should be regu- lated in the same economical way that other important considerations are reg ulated, so that the greatest net result may be gotten from it for life. Es- cape from regulations is not recreation; it is dissipation, which is the very op- posite of recreation. The very first principle of recreation for the right minded young man is that 1t must con- form to the same laws which govern life as a whole for hinl-such elemen- tary laws as justice and mercy, virtue and economy, good sense and good taste. There is strange tendency among some, whose labor is fairly we'll regulated, to revert to barbarism in their recreation. This is what fills the city court room after a holiday, but the remedy is not in abolishing the holiday, but rather in civilizing recrea- ton.
 This cannot be done by a war of ex- termination; it must begin in the heart of the individual, and be regulated by the best there is in him. The proper rest for man is a change of occupa- tion.' Hobbies are good for recreation A man who gives his odd moments systematically to one thing not only finds in it all the recreation he needs but he soon finds himself master of something worth having, and some thing which is not possessed by every man he meets. An art or accomplish ment, or a favorite field of science, lit erature or industry, can be won by al ! most any man in this way, and it will make another man of him. Something like this Is necessary in applying the simplest principles of economy in the regulation of life"
 The subject for next Sunday evening is "The Young Man in Society,"

SERMON TO FOOT GU4RDs.
Preached at Dwight Place Church Last
 Evening by Rev. Dr. Twitchel.

Preached at Dwight Place Church Last
 Evening by Rev. Dr. Twitchell.
 Tho Second company of Governor S Foot Guards attended services in a body at Dwight Place church last even- ing They wore fatigue uniforms and caps, and occupied the front seats in the church. The pastor, Rev. Dr, Twitchell, preached to them special sermon, his topic being "The Christian Soldier"
 Dr. Twitchell mentioned some of the essentials of a good soldier, among the essentials mentioned being faithfulness, obedience, a supreme passion for the thing at issue, comradeship and faith in the cause for which they were fight ing.
 In speaking of comradeship, Dr. Twitchell said: "Comradeship is a beautiful name. The highest officers and the privates are comrades. In what? In leaving home in the enlist ment, in the confidence of the leader in deprivation and suffering, and in death. Comradeship was never more forecful and impressive than in the late war. As comradeship is essential to the sol dier in war so is it essential to the Christian soldier. There must be con- munion of interest, kindling of joy of the heart, because of like experiences. Nothing should keep us aloof from those who, like ourselves, are fighting against evil.
 "To make 8 good soldier faith Is nec- essary. Men don't fight with heroism for what they believe is a lost cause. The thing that has kept up the spirit of the Cubans hemmed in by Spanish soldiers is the belief that if they hold out long enough they will win. For a true Christian soldier there must be faith in victory, first in victory for him. self. You know what it is for a man to fight battles with himself; how we seem to be two men and fight with the in- visible man within, throwing spiritual weapons for the mastery. Man must have confidence in the principles of faith and righteousness"
 Dr. Twitchell closed his discourse by referring to the honorable name borne by the Second company of Foot Guards and drew valuable lessons from essen- tials of a soldier, of which he had pre- viously spoken. The service closed with the singing of Onward Christian Soldier by the congregation. The congregation remained seated while the company marched out.
 At the close of the sermon Major Brown stepped up to the platform and shaking hands with Dr. TwitchelI. he thanked him for the address.

PANIC IN 4 CHURCH.
Altar Decorations Took Fire-A Stampede
 of People and Number Crushed.

Bridgeport, May 16.-A panic was created during the services in the Sla' vonlan church this morning owing to the statue of St. John, near the altar taking fire. Somebody shouted ire in the confusion and there was gen. eral rush for the doors by the several hundred people in the congregation.
 In the stampede, however, there were no serious injuries, though a number were serevely crushed and in the ex- citement several women tainted. Two men in the congregation tore off the burning decorations before the flames had chance to spread, and were burn ed severely about the hands. The fire was caused by portion of the decora- tions being blown against lighted candle. St. Johns day was being cele- brated and the statue was elaborately decorated for the occasion.

BLUE GRASS STATE SENSATIOy.
A Prominent Leader of Society Shot Under
 Mys erious Circuinstances


 Louisville, Ky, May 16-Preston Thornton. member of one of the most prominent families in the state and the south lies at the home of Milton H. Smith, president of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, on Fourth avenue, this city, suffering from a seif-infiicted and possibly mortal bullet wound in the chest. That he made an attempt upon his life this afternoon in the parlor of the Smith mansion is about all the in- formation obtainable as to the circum- stances surrounding the affair, because of the extreme reticence of all in any way connected with young Thornton or the Smith family. Soon after the shooting a. special train was hurriedIy sent to Lexington to bring the family of the wounded man to his bedside His father is Colonel R. H. Thornton of Lexington. His grandfather was the late General William Preston of this state, and the wife of William Draper of Massachusetts, United States ambassador to Italy.
 He is about twenty-one years of age. He is said to have paid assiduous at tention for some time to Miss Hettie Belle Smith. the young daughter of NH. Smith, the young daughter of M. H. Smith. That to-day's happening re- suited from the depressed mind of an unsuccessful suitor is generally believ- ed. His condition is said to be critical. A consultation of physicians was held at the Smith residence this afternoon. but the doors are tightly closed to all but the closest friends of the family. and the details of the occurrence are closely guarded.

THE PORTE MAKES ANSWER
SULTAN'S REPLY TO THE CoLLE EOT-
 IYE NOTE OF THE POWERS.

Will Declare an Armistice Only on Prom ise That Greece Shall Cede Thessaly, Pay
 a War Indemnity of $44, 100000 and
 Abandon Capitulations-How the Reply
 is Received.
 Constantinople, May 16,-The porte has replied officially to the note of the powers and declines to agree to an ar mistice until the following conditions are accepted:
 The annexation of Thessaly, an in- demnity of 10,0OO0OO pounds (Turkish) and the abolition of the capitulations The porte proposes that plenipotentia- Yies of the powers should meet at Phar- salos to discuss the terms of peace, and declares that If these conditions are de- clined the Turkish army will continue to advance.
 The demand for the annexation of Thessaly is based upon the fact that the province was originally ceded to Greece on the advice of the powers, with the object of ending brigandage and incursions into Ottoman territory, the porte believing at the time that the cession would attain these objects; but the recent incursions of Greek bands and the events immediately preceding the war have proved to the contrary. This is the substance of the reply.
 The ambassadors met to-day to con- sider the porte's answer, which is re- garded as raising an extremely grave issue. It is said that propositions will be made to the sultan personally to in duce a modification of these terms; but it is foreseen that this will be very diffi- cult owing to the attitude of the pow erful war party. If the porte should prove obdurate European conference is not improbable, although at present Russia is opposed to such step.
 It is regarded as quite certain that the powers will not consent to a retro cession of Thessaly. Even Germany is believed to be resolute on this point, because it would involve violation of the Berlin treaty and imperil the peace of the Balkans.
 Altogether the reply of the porte has caused the greatest surprise. It ap- pears that during the discussion of the note from the powers by the council of the sultan's ministers news reached the council that three thousand Greeks had landed at Palermo and were marching to Janina with the intention of cooperating with other forces from Arta. This created a bad impression among the ministers.
 London May 16.-A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Constantinople says that the portes reply demands in it's concluding paragraph an extradition treaty with Greece, and that the ports of VoIo be kept open for vessels carry ing war supplies to the Turkish troops,
