by Doge, owned by NJ j. Arnaud. The
animal is brown colt by Fricandeau,
out of Dogaresse.
Second place was won by Roxellane,

of York. She is owned by M. M. Call
leuilt; and the third was won by Para
sol H., b C, by Ruiel, out of Pyrale, and
owned by M. A. Abeille. An immense
crowd paid gate money to witness the
race. The weather was superb, in
tensely hot but brilliant. Many Ameri-
cans were in the throng, among them J..
r. Keene jr., and Mr.. Elliott Of New
York; j. Mairs. c. H. Boulen and Ed.
Smith of Philadelphia, Alexander Girls

The betting was 2 to against Roxel-

Flacon, 12 to 1 against Doge, 20 to 1
against Valparaiso; rs to against Quill

bunch. These positions were kept until
the rise in the track was reached, when
Roxellane and Palmiste II. forged
ahead; and as they entered the straight

Captain Stouch asserted his authority

BY this time Stanley had disappear

Stouch Immediately started for the
camp and there found the braves fully
armed and disinclined to surrender
without a fight. Finally he consented
to accompany the agent back to the
post, still refusing to give up his arms.
He was then persuaded to give up his
rifle, and when the agency was reached
he was promptly locked up. In the
meantime Sheriff Gibb returned and
presented Captain Stouch with a war
rant for his arrest for violating the
state laws in interfering with the sher-

Then the sheriff demanded the person

hoped to secure from the prisoner evil

hension of his accomplices. The sher-

Captain Stouch became convinced that
it was useless to hold the murderer
longer, and turned him over, the sheriff
sending an escort of cavalry with him
to the railroad.

SERMoN AT BATTELL CHAPEL.
Rev. DIR. Alexander of New York Preached
Yesterday Morning.


Rev. George Alexander, d. D., of
New York, preached in Battell chapel
yesterday morning, taking for his text
II Corinthians, V, 14;15: For the love
Of Christ constraineth us, etc" DR..
Alexander spoke of the life of Paul both
before and during the missionary jour-
neys and drew from the events which
occurred then valuable lessons. He
said that the true Christian life was
sublime and was the life. Paul found
at Corinth pleasure-loving people and
if after he had gathered about him
in that effete city few followers he
had told the Corinthians that these
few were living the most enjoyable life,
the Corinthians would have scoffed at
him. Paul renounced all for Christ, put
aside all thought of self and found his
greatest Joy in Christian life because
he was constrained by the love of
Christ. Dr. Alexander then spoke OF
the exultation experienced by true
Christian and closed by commencing to
the students and especially to the men,
bers of the graduating class about to
begin their life work, a Christian life.
DR.. Alexander also addressed the gen
eral religious meeting of the university
at Dwight hall last evening.
President Dwight spoke to the seniors
at their class prayer meeting last eve
ming.

DEATH IN MILL RIYER.
The Four Year Old Daughter of James

Ethel Moore, the four-year-old daugh-
ter of James Moore of Is Mechanic

Horse Gnnrds nt Church.

The members of the Horse Guards
met at their company's room at the
armory last evening at $50 and attend
ed church in a body at the Church of
the Ascension, in accordance with the
unanimous vote of the company to ac-
cept the invitation of the rector of the
church, Rev. f. H, Marshall, to attend
his church last evening. Sixty-four
members of the company were present
and occupied seats on both sides of the
center aisle.
The rector gave the military cor
dial welcome and stated that he would
be pleased to see them at his church
again either in body or as individuals
He hoped they would enjoy the ser
vices and the singing and would attend
in future. His text, from the 10th chap
ter of Exodus, 18th vehse, was: go ye
now that are men and serve the Lord.
Quotations from his excellent sermon
are substantially as follows:
Much has been said about the aliena-
ton of men from the church, but it does
not appear that there are necessarily
less men in the churches now than for
merly. The present condition of church
life is full of golden promises, and men
should attend-the church needs you
and you need the church, The church Is
in a rut and wants you to help it out.
1t needs the presence of such men as
will correct the faults of those already
in 1t. The church is a society of sinful
men and women, and too much must
not be expected of them. There are
faults in and out of the church. Reli-
gion and the church are associated
with much that is dear to us. 1t has
taught US of the future life and it
teaches US to seek God before it is too
late to correct our faults. Business life
and money-making schemes attract so
much attention of some that other mat
ters are side issues. Such persons
should not forget that they need the
church and the church needs them.
Many men do not take an absorbing
interest in the churches, although they
allow their families to attend. There
Is nothing better than the church of
God and no warfare better than that
against mans worst qualities. There
fore go ye now that are men and serve
the Lord
The singing was excellent and was
much enjoyed by the military. AT the
close of the services the rector met the
members of the company as they passed
out and shook hands with them, with
a friendly greeting for each. The ser
mon was highly complimented by sew
eral officers of the Horse Guard.
