doubled during the past year. 1t was
found, the delegates said, that the most
progress has been made in the South, and

THE EPwORTH LEAGUE.
Rev. Mr. Thomas Lectures on the
Recent Convention.

The Rev ]. L. Thomas, ID. D., pastor
of the Asbury NJ. E. Church, delivered
a lecture yesterday morning upon the
"Influence of the International Epw orth
League"
He said in part: "The Epworth League
has been in existence about a decade
and has already had wonderful effect
in fastening the evangelization of the
world. The term Epworth was taken
because it was the name of the English
town where John Wesley was born, and
League was the name of the CLUB which
John Wesley and other religiously in
clined students formed at Oxford Univer-
sity. The purpose was to keep the life
and work of Wesley before the youth
of the land. Other objects in the forma-
ton of the Epworth League were to give
the young people a thorough knowledge
of the doctrines Of the church and to
impress them with the universality of
Methodism.'
The preacher told of the recent con-
ycntlon at Toronto, to which he was %
delegate. He commented on the fact that
in the Canadian city Christianity has a
grip on the weekday lives of the people
In Toronto there are but about 600 COZ
ored residents, and the Epworth League
colorcd delegates who were ministers, oc-
cupicd the puIpts of white churches dur

JAPANESE FRINGE RETURNS.
Arisugawa A En- Route Home From
Queen victoria's Jubilee.

he attended as the representative Of his

the prince was received yesterday with
marked Difference by the Japanese resi-
dents of this city and several distinguished
officials of the Japanese government. They
formed a little group on the Cunard dock
an hour before the arrival OF the Umoria.
There was T. Hoshi, the japanese minis
ter at Washington a short, stout man with
round face reflecting good humor, and with
him Were S Vchida, the japanese consulat
New York; X Matsui, secretary of the lega

vice consul in this city. The others Were

silk hats and frock coats.
The prince was leaning over the rail
amidships as the Unbria drew to the
dock He lifted his hat once in recogni-
ton of salute from the little group and
went to the cabin, where he was met by
d committee headed by the japanese min
lister.
The prince came down the gangplank
with the japanese minister, and stopped
for moment with uplifted hat before n
lire of Japanese. The crowd surGed about
on both sides to catch a glimpse and the
prince, TO avoid further demonstration,
hastened on. He is barely over five feet
in height; his form is thin, and from all
points of measurement he is smaller than
the average Japanese. He stands straight
as a sapiing, and there was Just a sug-
gestion OF smile about the straight, firm
lines of his mouth. He has small, black
mustache and short, struggling black
beard. He Wore a cutaway suit of gray,
an alpine hat and carried u goldheaded
cane and light brown gloves. Several jew
elea rings flashed on the fingers of both
hands.
The japanese residents bowed almost to
the ground. and the prince responded by
lifting his hat and bowing. He was fol-
lowed by his suite, which included: T.
Saitow, master of the princes household

one to five mortgages on property, 1t

money in trying to carry depreciating real

SUICIDE A MORTAL SIN.
DIR. Elliott Discourses on the False
Philosophy of Seif-Murder.

Suicide" was the subject of most in
teresting discourse delivered yesterday
morning at the Church of the Ascen sion
by the rector, Rev. John H. Elliott. The
sermon was based on the story of Paul's
imprisonment and his opportGnityt to escape.
aud his appeal to his jailer when about
to kill himself, do thyself NO harm.''
The Rev. DR.. Elliott spoke of the prev
alence of suicide in early days, and dis
cussed the motives, or ra ther causes, which
led TO it and the reasons of popular iusti-
fication.
1t was, he said, justified by the assump-
tion that man had complete right and
title to his own life. and therefore could
dispose of it as he saw fit. This false
philosophy and unChri stian-like spirit
was not in accold with the teachings of
the Gospel or the law of even the early
times. For besides the command of
Panl to his iailer. '.Do thyself no HARM"
the Gospel taught that no man should
leave his post in life without the order OF
the Great Commander.
Even in the ancient time, while suicide
was, in q measure. approved by popular
opinion, still it was legislated against
Plato insisted that those who destroyed
themselves should be inferred in some lonely
spot and would not allow monument or
other memorial to be eerected to them. Again,
in Rome, the suicide was prevented hon.
orablc burial on the ground that the dead
had deprived the state OF his services,
which belonged to it.
The church, DR.. Elliot said, always de-
nounccd suicide aud reckoned it as o
mortal sin, and warned US that We are
responsible in the future for the acts COM
mittrd in this life. When men accept the
doctrine of suicides, that life belongs TO
| themselves, they deny the existence OF
our Father and the hope of salvation.
| And when anyone accepts such teachings
| it is no wonder, DIR Elliot said. thai

Results.

The passage OF the tariff bill is not a
sensaticn, because it has been anticipated
b. the country; but none the less the
esuntry must regard it as an impudent and
fnghtful crime.
Looking back over the history of the
extra session of the Congress, it woulI be
pleasant if we could see anything that the
nominal opposition TO the Hanna Have
meyer scheme has done TO prevent it's ac-
oomplishment We are glad TO say that
there have been Senators who have stood
out nobly iii antagonism to infamy; but
they are very few and could be counted
on the fingers of one or two hands
We are mortified and sorry to think
that there are others who, while posing
as champions of the people, have allowed
themselves to become the active and vigi-
liant friends OF mea sure designed to rob
all the masses of the Union We do not pre-
tend To assert that these distinguished
men personally have been bought. weonly
mean 10 state that their absolute departure
from the faith of their party organiza-
tion and their assistance in the perpetra-
ton Of the greatest public crime in the
history OF American legislation leaves
them open TO such a suspicion.
In taking leave of the Congress we desire
70 say to the Republican members who
have dominated it that they have made
a record of peTfidy that the annals Of the
nation never befOre recorded. They have
supported a man in the trea sonaiIe act Of
ignoring and defying the Constitution OF
the United States and in his violent sup
precision of the peoples House of Repre-
sentatives. They have supported confer
ence committee of the Congress in another
violation of the Constitution. Right here
We ask the Hanna administra ton: If the
Constitution and the laws of the country
can be oontcmned and ignored by the peo-
pie sworn TO maintain and protect chem,
what is 10 be expected from the common
people leoftnecountryunder conditions worse
than Oriental slavery?
But we are forgetting the Democratic
Representatives who have submitted TO
these things. Let US proclaim, without
the chance or successful denial, that this
whole scheme of national plumber would
have been impossible without Democratic
assistance and indivIdua treachery This
is not the time to mention names They are
blazonedin the columns of the Congressional
Record, and win be advertised to the
world whenever the guilty parties once
more come before their constituencies.
We are not afraid to place this PROPOSE
ton before the people of the United States:
The tariff infamy conceived, constructed
and compiled under the direct and per-
sonal supervision of the trusts and mo.
nopoies has become law only because
certain Democratic statesmen have been
''induced' to support it

The Naming of Our Streets.

Long before the spoils system disap-
peared from politics or the four-horse equip
age from official stables the streets of
Washington felt the effects of the civil
service idea. The thoroughfares OF the
Capital City were all named strictly after
letters OF the alphabet or numbered in
regular order. There was no chance for
strife and recTimination because one states
man had been compiimented by naming
fashionable street for him while another
had only small alley to his name The
letters of the alphabet were not likely TO
be Jealous.
But now that the founders Of the nation
are all dead and nobody's feelings can be
hurt, it really seems rather infantile for
us 10 go on calling our streets on the A-B-C
plan. Not long ago an address was deliv-
cred by Hon. Alexander B. Hagner before
the Columbian Historical Society on this
subject, and in it are submitted lists of
names which could he substituted for those
OF the letters of the alphabet with great
euphony and convenience.
