MOODY ATTACKED.
The Rev. DR.. Brundage Declares the
Evangelist's Methods are Mis-
chiauHi1a

Albany, N. Y, Oct. ga sermon de-
livered Sunday night by the Rev. DR..
Brundage Of the First Unitarian church
in which he vigorously criticised the
methods of Dwight L. Moody, has been
the subject of much comment. The Rev
DR.. Brundage was formerly a MethO-
dist, but about year ago left a pulpit
and formed a Unitarian congregation
In his sermon he said Mr. MOody's s
methods are not only crude and irrat-
ional, but positively mischievous and
immoral
Mr.. Moody he declared, land those
of his school are the representatives of
the mediaeval school of dogmatic teach
ers who sought to make Calico recant
his teachings that the earth and not the
sun moved"
DR.. Brundage announced that he will
next Sunday speak with special refer
ence to Mr.. Moody's statement to the
effect that if the story of Jonah and the
whale is not believed, the story of the
resurrection of Jesus also must be

GET THE NEWS FROM Us.
English Papers are Indignant at the
Governments Slight.


London, Oct. 23.-The morning papers
appear today without the text of the
reply of the government to the propos-
ais of the American bimetallic special
commission. They contain only a sum-
mary OF the reply cabled from Wash
ington.
The Standard editoriaIly. takes the
government to task for this doubtless
unintentiOnal discourtesy to the Eng
liSh business community, which viii
tend to damage the miniStry'S business
reputation as well as its credit in good
manners.
What makes it still more vexatious,"
continues the Standard, lis the unsat-
isfactOry nature of the reply. Had Sir
nOunced the governments decision, the
agitation would have ended and no
memorial from the city would have been
required
It appears that the government while
polite to silver delegates, have in no
way committed themselves
The Daily News makes a similar pro-
test against the governments discour-
tesy and then appIauds the cabinet for
'dashing the hopes of the bimetallists
to the ground
Giving Sir Michael IIicks-Beach the
stand" after cOndoling with Mr.. Bal
four on his most humiliating plight in
remaining the official head of the treas
ury, which is the central stronghold of
the financial doctrines he most abhOrs,"
the Daily News proceeds to ask:
What does Lord Salisbury mean b.
stating that England is interested in
securing a stable par exchange for gold
and silver? We await the publicat ton
of all the papers with the greatest in
planned and the time for shilly-shallying
is ended. -

SUCCESSFUL CAR BRAKE.
The Device Was Invented by William
Savage of Durango.

Denver, Oct. 2S.-Wm. Henry Sauv-
age, young man who has resided in
Durango for several years engaged in
gardening, has invented a car wheel
brake which bids fair to supersede
those now in use.
One of them has been in use upon one
of the cars of the Tramway company
for six or seven weeks as a test and
sample.
1t is very simple and inexpensive. In
stead of the wheel and pulley of the
common brake in use, the power used
is a double wedge with shaft passing
through it to raise and lower it toward
and against the wheel. The motion of
the wheel furnishes the power to check
or destroy its own velocity. The great
er the motion of the wheel the more
power is impaired to the brake. The
mOtOrman upon the car to which the
brake is attached is enthusiastic over
it.
In making what is called a service
stop, that is a stop for passengers with
the cars running eight miles an hour, all
the mOtOrman did was to loosen the
brake handle and the car would stop
within less than the usual distance
without any force applied by the motor
man.
Several times he stopped the car by
applying the brake on one side of the
street and it would halt at the opposite
side. With the brake in common use
the mOtorman said if he had a big load
and was going eight to ten miles an
hour he was obliged to apply the brake
at the middle of the block before the
street at which he was to stop and use
all his strength and quickness of mo-
tiOn to accomplish it.
With the new brake in case of an
emergency when it was necessary to
stop at the quickest moment possible
the mOtOrman would turn the brake
handle about half way around and the
car would be stopped unless the wheels
slid upon the rails. By putting brakes
upon the trailer, which is not practiced,
the mOtOrman can apply the brakes to
both cars by the same motion and make
the stop without any jar.
John Scott, an old mOtOrman in the
employ of the Tramway company, ran
the car with this brake during the car
nival, constantly carrying big loads and

Much Dissatisfaction Over the En-
dorsement of Seth Low.

New York, Oct pa great number
of political mass meetings were held
throughout the metropolitan district
last night and the champions for the
different mayoralty candidates were
out in force.
Gen. Tracy was the principal speaker
at a Republican meeting held in the At
lantic Casino, this city
Cooper Union was filled to the doors
with adherents of the Independence
Hall Democracy to ratify the nominal
tion of the Tammany ticket The Inde-
pendence Hall Democrats have for their
leaders Julius Hamburger and Ernst
Tammany ticket because of the Raines
law. A Citizens union mass meeting
was held at ClermOnt rink in Brooklyn
under the auspices of the German
American reform union of New York at
which DR.. John w. Shildage presided,
and the chief speaker was Carl Schurz.
Resolutions were adopted denOuncing
the Tammany Hall candidates as 'noto-
riously nothing but tools of one man.
denOuncing the Republican candidates
as equally under the subjectfOn of one
man." Henry George as "a dreamer
and a theOriSt, who has never studied
municipal problems and whose admins
tratiOn would undoubtedly be a failure"
and pledging support to Seth Low.
Chas. S. Fairchild, ,ex-secretary of the
treasury, candidate for comptroller on
the Citizens Union ticket and Everett
p. Wheeler, civil service commissioner
spoke at the Citizens Union meeting
of the Tenth Assembly district. All
references to Seth Low were enthusiast
tically received.
Henry George made the rounds of
the east side accompanied by his wife
and two friends and in the several halls
he visited he was greeted by large and
enthusiastic audiences who accorded
him an ovation.
Col. Fred d. Grant presided over a
Republican rally at the Central Opera
House. There was an audience of p
600 in the hall. District Attorney Mott
was the principal speaker. He de-
nounced trusts and combines and said
he hoped in the second trial of the Gig
arctic trust to secure convictions.
There is rebellion in the ranks of Ger
man-American reform. The action OF
the general committee in indorsing
the Citizens Union ticket a few days
ago is the cause.
The United Democracy, at an execu-
tive meeting last night, indorsed Chas.
w. Dayton, the candidate for cOmptrOl-
Ter, the same ticket with Henry
George. An address to the people will
be issued declaring allegiance to the
Chicago platform, calling on the Dem
ocrats who voted for Bryan to support
the silver candidates for the United
