HARMONY IN THE CnURCA
Pastor Hathaway's Troubles
Finally Laid to Rest
Trustees at Peace.

Harmony" is the song that is now be-
ing sung in the Westminster Presbyte
rian Church. 1t goes to the tune set b
the trustees and deacons at a recent
meeting, and it sounds very beautiful In
the ears of those worthy gentlemen after
the discordant notes which have been
grating upon their nerves during the pas
three months. There is no discord in tn
great harmony chorus which is now be-
ing sung-they have taken care of that
by carefully testing the voices. of the
singers. Those who sing the song of
Hathaway have no place in the chorus.
TT is surprising" said Trustee Robert
Rensell last night, "how beautifully
things are harmonizing. 1t was notice
able in the Christian Endeayor meeting
this evening. There was nothing but har-
mony, no disseson, no clashing among
the members, no mention of the recent
unpleasant controversy We have set
tied down to hard work again and are
rapidly harmonizing the conflicting ele-
ments. We had the best meeting we
have had in years. We elected three new
members and receivd three applications
to be acted upon at the next meeting. We
are so busy with our work that we have
no time to DISCUSS trifling disagreements
among the church members"
1t was supposed that Mr.. Kendall
would have a statement prepared last
night for the press-in fact, an appoint

o'clock and receive it. The reporter call
ed, but there was no statement covering
the entire trouble between Pastor Hath
away and his people, and was to have
been signed by all the officers Of the
church. Instead, Mr.. Kendall entertained
him with a charming discourse on har-
mony. When he had finished it he said :
You expected to get a statement to-
night. I have none for you. Time will
efface everything. We find that a num-
Der of the people we supposed had been
making statements to the papers have
come back and we have decided to let
the matter rest

PROBABLY IDENTIFIED.

The Mutilated Body Found in New York
 May Be that of One Weinkrantz.
 Baltimore June 29.-A statement made tonight to the representative of the As- sociated Press may help to identify the mutflated body found on the East River, New York, Saturday night. young Hebrew, called s. Weinkrantz and re- siding at 909 East Baltimore street, says that from information he has received he believes the headless trunk to be that of his uncle, also called s. Weinkrantz Weinkrantz says that since the finding of the remains he has made numerous at tempts to communicate by telegraph with his uncle who resides at 119 Park Row, New York, but has received no response. The supposed victim visited Baltimore about six weeks ago and in conversation with his nephew acquainted the young man with the facts relating to his domes- tic and commercial reverses, saying that he had many enemies and was reason- ably afraid that they would resort to violence. Young Weinkrantz says that his uncle was 32 years of age and book binder by trade. He was recently di- vorced and his wife's relatives are said to feel bitter towards him. According to the nephew Weinkrantz was a man of exemplary habits and handsome in ap- pearance, standing about six feet and weighing about 1Se or 190 pounds.
 Weinkrant also says he has a brother in law, ". Jacobson, at Emporia, Va. This lends additional interest to the fact of the valse being found near the spot in wrapping paper marked "Emporia, Virginia" e

been along lines that 1t wers best left entirely to the eolered men.
 The negro is undoubtedly the cheapest unskilled labor in America. and 1t Is this very circumstance that gives the south ern states such pre-eminenee over the north and west as the place for the edu- eated and skilled German emigrant. While the north and west use him as a common laborer in the field the south would at once place him in position of prominence as a director of the cheap colored labor.
 The German farmer with his infinite patience thrift, industry and economy. is best fitted of almost any emigrant this country receives to make colored labor remunerative. In the south, too with it's cheap lands and vast unoceupied areas the German farmer will find that he will have no difficulty in becoming land owner and planter instead Of a mere day lahorer
 We cannot but believe that the inspira- tion of this slur upon the south comes not so much from the German paper as from the agents who fear that the class of emigration may be diverted to the fair and fruitful fields of the south.
 It behooves the large German element in our midst, who know the true condi- ton, to see to it that effective measures are taken to set this matter right and. see that justice is done the southern states. We want our quota of this class of emi- grants-in fact all we can get
 This shows the necessity of the state taking hold of the emigration business in earnest.

THROUGH TRAINS
Were Put on the East Lake Line to Ac- commodate the Many People Who
 Attend the Show.

The immense crowd at East Lake last night was but a repetition of that of the previous nights. Over 1900 people en- fun and every one passed criticism in the one word, "exc;llent."
 All of the members of the company infused life into their linss and they went with vim. The encores were numerous, but all were deserved. To particularize the individual work would be repetition of what has already been said. Every number was a hit, especially the singing of MT. A. c. Lawrence and the great work Of that inimitable team, MT. Phil Peters and Miss Nettie Peters.
 The management of the East Lake Iire always on the lookout for the com fort of it's patrons, through Superinten- dent and General Manager J. B. MoClary, put on two through trains last night to ac- commodate the large crowd. These trains left the lake immediately after the performance and brought the 500 passen- gers on board to the city in twenty-five minutes. It was a fast run and will be a permanent feature of the future. The passengers greatly appreciated the ino- vation.
 The show will present an entire change of programme tomorrow night, includ- irg new songs and specialties. The "Rubberneck' song of MT. James F. Green last night was immense and went we'll Some boys and young men ought to bei kept at home if they cannot behave themselves. Last night quite a number who were onto the "selp' in the song trfed to ruin the part by a premature cry of "rrubberneck." Keep quiet, boys, and try to be gentlemen, whether you are or not.

GERMAN IMMIGRANTS.

The Kreuz Zeitung warns German far mers against the invitations of .emigrant agents to settle in the southern states of America, and calls upon the government to issue strict prohfbitive decree against such emigration. "Sfnce German farmers are too good to compete with black la bor in the cotton and rice fields" No doubt a demand on the part of paper of the circulation and influence of the Kreuz Zeitung will receive due consider ation at the hands of the proper officials and it may be the government will inter dict such emigration. It will be a great misfortune for the south to be debarred from competing for so desirable class of emigrants as those we receive from Ger many.
 The competition which the Kreuz Zei- tung fears will degrade the German la borer is like the bear stories we tell the children to keep them quiet and good at night-alr in itssimagination. While the south has. large number of colored artisans and mechanics itahas never de- tered our own white people from pur- suing like occupations. On the contrary, the superior skill and ability of the white mechanic have only stood out in bold relief by reason of the supposed dark antagonist. The competition has only
