THE ILLNESS OF THE czARlNA
Confirmed and Reported to be OF Very
Serious Nature.

COuHrhOu anu hepOFIc0 To DC Ot u very
Serious Nature.
LONDON, Jan. 1S.-The Sunday Times
confirms the report of the illness Of
the czarina. 1t says that her condi-
tion, which is very serious. has ended
for the present the hopes of the birth
of an heir.
As cabled by the United Associated
Presses yesterday the czarina was
threatened with miscarriage which,
however, was averted. She has since
been seriously ill, and to this fact was
due the abandonment of the usual re-
ceptions during the Russian New
Year week. Her physicians say that
it is necessary for her to take a long
rest at Livadia, one of the czar's
estates in southern Russia, where the
czar Alexander LII. died in 1894. Hero
she can have perfect quiet, which is a
prerequisite to her recovery.

FIRST METHODIST SERMON
Preached by John Wesley Over a Cen
tury and Half Ago.

ION the seventh of March, 1886, John Wes-
ley preached the first Metholigt sermon ever
preached on this continent" writes tho Rev.
W. j. Scott, ID. d., in an interesting review of
When John Wesley Preached in Georgia, in
the June Ladies' Home. journal. 1T was de-
llvered not far from the site of the present
Christ church, Savannah. of which he subse-
quently was the third rector, and was ad.
dressed 10 mixed assemblage. His congre-
cation hardly exceeded four hundred persons,
including children and adults, re-enforced,
however, by one hundred or more of the
neighborng Indians. Wesley discussed in n
most eloquent manner the principles of
Christian charity as argued by Saint Paul in
the thirteenth chapter Of First Corinthians
He made powerful appeal, and many of his
audience were in tears. While he was not so
impetuous in his delivery as in after years.
his abilities at that time bespoke the great
preacher and roformer.
IF he was more scholastic in style than i'm
after years, the fervor aGd force of his APP
peals were none tho less felt by his hearers
Esp scially was this stikingly true when in
the course of his discourse he adverted to tho
death of his father, who for forty years or
more had been the incumbent of the Epworth
rectory. This venerable man was ~ ed not
long before his death; Are the consultations
Of God small with you?' No, no, nor he ex-
claimed, with uplifted hands, and then, con.
tinued Wesley, calling all that were near
him by their names, the dying patriarch said
Think of heaven, talk If heaven; all time Is
lost when we are not thinking Of heavenl'
This was spoken by Wesley in tremulous
voice, and his new parishioners at Savannah
were for the instant almost swept off their
feet by tidal wave of religious enthusiasm.
Tradition has 1t that several Indians who
were present became so greatly excited, not
only by Mr.. Wesley's impassionei oratory-
though they did not understand word he
ssid-but by his gestures, that one old war
rior nervously clutched his tomahawk fear

The salaries for the officers of the proposed

GLOOM AT BROWN.
II is Caused by the Fact That Capt.
Fultz is Lame.
He APP ared in the Classroom This Morn
Ing n Clutches.

Gloom reigps among tho members OF
the Brown University baseball team TO
day. Capt David Fultz Is lame. he
male his appearance at his classes this
morning with two ugly crutohes under
his arms and his right foot all bound up.
His ankle is badly sprained.
He hurt his foot at the game with the
University of Pennsylvania in Philadel-
phia Thursday, May 90 Since then his
foot has been growing worse. Fultz Is
not "a man who gives In easily. He played
in the game with Lehigh at Providence,
Saturday, May -, and yesterday with
Holy Cross on Lincoln Field. Yesterday
he strained his ankle again and as a
result is on crutches this morning. The
fact that he made AN error in the game
was probably caused by his foot.
Saturday Brown will play her second
game of tho season with Yale. Before
the first game Brown had her first great
misfortune i'm the loss of two pitchers
for the game. Now it seems as II the
fates are against them. If Fultz does not
play Saturday Perkins will probably take
his place. But it will not do TO say Fultz
will not play. Dave Fultz has been
known to play when he ought to be in
the hospital. He has more grit and sand
than any other man in college. Last fall
in the football game with the Carlisle IN
dians he played "a splendid game, although
he was hardly able TO walk before they
commenced. He may do the same thing
again tomorrow.

ARE STIRRED UP.
The Theosophists Greatly Excited by
Recent Newspaper stories.

Onset Bay, Mass, May 2S. The New
York News dispatches which stated that
Henry Is. Foulkes announcement OF q
precipitated message from Mime. Blavat-
sky was not taken seriously and which
contain a quotation OF an apparently IRON
ical statement made by DIR. Franz Hart
mann, the head OF the Iheosophists in
Germany to the effect that by "a strange
coincidence he had been appointed sue
cessor to Shakespeare us Mr.. Foulke had
beon To Nine. Blavatsky. have had the
effect of increasing an agitation among
Theosophists here that was previously
at high pitch.
Mr.. Foulke himself declares that Or.
Hartmann has been grossly misrepre-
sented aud to prove this he shows "a letter
dated February 20, 1872, in which DIR.
Hartmann made the assertion concerning
the Shakespearian succession. The letter,
which was written in Germany and which
bears DIR. Hartmann's signature, says:
"Now that you have become the successor
all we have TO do Is TO prove our right To
succession by our work. At all events it
will be difficult for anybody TO prove
that we have not been nominated success
ors ana 10 will be sufficient II we believe
it ourselves. OF course, l fully believe in
the honesty of your opinion, and there Is
no telling what pranks the eleinentals
that belong to Blavatsky will play"
Mr.. Foulke referring 20 the letter says
The need for successor TO Mime. Blavatsky
was obvious even TO the most persistent
adversary whether layman or theosophist.
and IL was not only appointed her successor
but by her Mahatmic gurus under and
by virtue of whose powers 1 have per-
sistently acted since the initial controver-
sy. The letter therefore OF DIR. Hart
mains has not the slightest bearing on
the case, and purposeiy misquoted by
Mrs. Tingley's secretary as the letter
actually advises me TO do all that i have
done Moreover have other letters Of DR..
Hartmann's which have diI sct beari &
upon the imposture of William q. judge
and his colleagues and which confirm all
that has been written of the spiritual
hypothesis concerning the now famous
Messianic proclamation.
