A SALVATION SERMON,
Charles Montgomery Discourses on the
Sins of the Rich.

Charles Montgomery Discourses on the
Sins of the Rich.
Charles Montgomery, the well-known
philanthropist and patron of the Salvation
Army, spoke at l6 Mason street Tuesday
on religion. The general theme on which
he spoke might well be called 1.-THE Sins
of Millionares."
The speaker sat through his discourse
and read many passages OF Scripture to
illustrate his points. He said he had been
among many millionares lately and solic-
tied their aid for the poor and others over
taken by misfortune, but he had not been
able to get them to contribute anything,
their plea being that they were too poor.
He said there were people in the aims
houses who had found Christ and that
they were richer by far than the million
aires, who imagined they were the really
opulent. There was a large attendance
during the meeting and the interest was
very great.

of A. L. Knott.
A. l.. Knott, the eccentric medicine VEN
der, was Tuesday held by Judge Low to
answer before the Superior Court on the
charge of murder without bail.
Knott was arrested for fatally shooting
Joseph Knauer, a barber, on Stevenson
street, between Third and Fourth.
Knauer identified Knott twice before he
died as the man who shot him, and al
legged that it was owing to quarrel be-
wv cen them about a dog eighteen months
ago. At that time Krauer had Knott ar
rested, and afterward Knott swore to get
even with him.
Knott's attorneys reserved their defense
till the trial of the case in the Superior

Was Investigated.

MR.. EDITOR:-It has been openly
said that the unfortunate anchor man
of the Portuguese tug-of-war team in
tentionally caused his side to lose, hav-
ing been bought over for a considera-
BILE sum of money. Any one who saw
the condition of the man at the termi-
nation of the pull must have been sat
isfied that he was exhausted, and /,
though a heavy loser, do not believe
the exhaustion was induced by sud
den accumulation of ill-gotten wealth.
This poor fellow has been haunted
by a lot of small losers, pelted and
scoffed on the streets until he has been
Obliged to seek refuge in the Station
House Ny advice to the people who
are bounding the anchor man is, to find
out. first: If he has suddenly acquired
wealth and then ascertain how he got
it
That was the course I pursued, but
did not have to go beyond the first
point. He has no money. [ consider
him an honest man, but, physically,
too weak to have entered the contest.
1 lost a great deal of money on the
tug. and I have spent considerable in
ascertaining that the charges against
the Portuguese team, collectively or in
dividually, are unqualifiedly false and
without foundation.

NEWSPAPER MAN.
C.. M. Pepper of Washington is at
the Arlington.

G.. NJ. Pepper, mention of whom was
terday morning as representing the
New York Herald and other papers of
the United States, was seen in his
rooms at the Arlington last night and
asked regarding the work which he
comes here to do, it having been under
stood that he has made his visit to
write in favor of annexation. In reply
Mr.. Pepper said:
Il may as we'll say that l am heartily
in favor of the annexation of these
Islands to the United States, and that
the two papers, which l represent
the New York Herald and the Chica-
go Tribune-are of my same mind.
Yes, / am here to help annexation
along, but you must bear in mind that
my principal object is to give the peO-
pie of the United States general infor-
nation regarding the Islands. For in
stance, 1 shall write on the CONNER
cial side; then L shall tell the people
just what you have here and what they
may expect in the event of annexation.
ut is information that the people
over there want, and 1 am here to give
them as near the state of affairs exist
ing here as it is possible for me to do.
Probably l shall be here six weeks or
more, and during that time dozen or
10 letters will be forwarded to each Of
the papers / represent"
What is the feeling in the United
States, as near as you can judge, re-
garding annexation" was asked.
well, | may say it is pretty firm for
annexation. There is one point | would
like to emphasize, and that is the fact
that in the United States there exists a
very strong sentiment in favor of the
natives-a desire to do for them every
thing possible, and, in the event of an
nexation, to give them all the rights
possessed by American citizens. l I'M
derstand that the natives feel that an
nexation to the United States means all
kinds of discrimination against them,
but such is not the case. The sooner
they do away with that idea, the bet
