GAN DO EVERYTHING BUT PRAY
IN NEW YORK.

| rho geographic news last week told of
,b., arrest in New York of Commander
Rooth- Tucker upon the charge of keep
ing a "disorlerly house" because some If
| rho worshippers at the Salvation Army
meeting made Il noise. There has net
| been in many years more fragrant case
Of ofiicious official persecution than this
arrest OF the Jealous leader of the Saliva
ton Army forces. The warmest ind <
nation has been expressed by such reli-
gious leaders as Or Rainsford Madison
G.. Peters and others, and the case will
bc appealed. New York needs more Of
the salting Of the Salvation Army to save
it.
Yesterdays New York Journal had
cartoon taken from the War Cry" the
organ of the Salvation Army, under the
heading "Other all-night noises may be
tolerated. but when it comes to people
spending whole night in prayer, why
l." The cartoon represents every known
scene of vice by gas-ight in New York
enjoying the fullest liberty and license
while those who spend whole night in
PRAYER are arrested because they pray Ill
loud tones.
Describing the meeting held the night
after conviction of Mr.. Booth-Tucker, the
| New York Journal gives this pen-picture;
| And so their faces glowed with the ar
dor of their loyalty as they clapped their
hands and swayed their bodies to the
| sharp. staccato measure of their we'll
! loved hymns. In truth, the aspect OF
/ their leader was such as to appeal to the
| imagination. Apostolic was the ad-
jective applied to him by his COUNSEL a.
Oakley Hall, and exceedingly apostolic ne
looked last night.
/ The gray hairs are in my head,
he said, with an expression of indies
! clibabe gentleness. THE evening of
life is upon me. Eternty's daybreak
gimmers on the near horizon | do
not shrink from the cross. l realize
that from the pulpit of Blackwelfs
Island | may be able to preach a ser
mon. the echoes of which shall reach
/ the hearts of more sinners and more
! saints than the platform on which ]
| have hitherto stood. The grace of
! God is sufficient for mer'
These are no words of mere bravado
They are the heartfelt expressions of
God-fearing man, ready if need be, to ''be
offered up" Though not of the broad
mould of Luther or Bunyan, he is of the
same heroic type. The arrest of such
man in this country justifies the charge
that this is not a Christian country.

THE DANGER is OVER.
Alarm Over the Threatened Race
War at Key West, Fla, Has
subsidized.

Washington, D. c., June 26-The
alarm at Key West, Fla, over the
threatened race war which it was feared
would be precipitated if the purpose of a
mob of whites to lynch a negro charged
with assault was carried out apparently
has subsidized. Delayed information received
by the secretary of war from the officer
in command of the United States troops
stationed at Key West is to the effect
that there were threats Of lynching, but
nc attempts to carry it out. The negro
IS stated to be protected by the sheriff
and he is safe in confinement. There
was some pistol-fring by drunken men
Thursday night. and one white man was
shot. The local authorities. it is stated,
took no steps to preserve order. The Off
Gals here are of the opinion that the dan
ger, if any existed has passed over and
no further trouble is anticipated.
The President has received a message
from Gov. Bloxham Of Florida stating
that the sheriff of Key West wires this
morning that the contemplated trouble
did not ma terialize and that every thing
there is quiet and orderly.

SPORTING NEWS.

Milwaukee, Wis, June 26.-[Special. ]
The leaders had nearly everything
their own way in the Western league
yesterday and as a result there was little
change in the standing, except to send
the rear end clubs deeper into the mire
While the Brewers were taking a fall
out of the Millers the Kansas City team
was taking q crack at the St Paul men
and COmiskey fell several points. De-
trOit had an easy time defeating Grand
Rapids and Columbus SmOthered the
HOosiers. During the past week the
Brewers have braced up and are playing
a fast game once more. The pitchers
are not in the best of condition and it
has been hard work to meet the other
clubs on an equal footing. Terry is
pitching, but he is by no means in proper
shape. He has been suffering from a
sprained side, but for all that he has
pitched winning ball. Taylor and Reidy
are the only men who are in anything
like condition. Barnes is just recovering
from an attack of tonsilitis and will not
be able to pitch for a week yet. Bert
Jones has had sore wrist and will
probably not pitch before the end of
next week. This leaves only three
pitchers, but they Will no doubt be able
to pull through until the others get in
shape. The results yesterday were:

Detroit, 10; Grand Rapids, 8.

said he was not feeling badly.
DR.. Baine, who was summoned to at

there was no immediate danger, though

ture of q slight stroke of apoplexy, caus-
ing facial paralysis.
The incident caused quite a sensation
in the Senate and led to an unusually
early adjournment.

Cunningham, who forged Judge E. T..
Hamilton's name to check for $4,000,

medical world in that expert physicians
held that owing to a depression in Gun
ningham's skull, which pressed upon the
brain. he was virtually insane and ire
sponsible for his actions He underwent
an operation to remove the pressure and
claimed that it cleared his reason. The
court held, however, that there was no
evidence that the depression affected Cum

Ripley has discovered that it is crime
for a white man to shoot craps This
game, the chief says, is purely a negro

other important discovery by Ripley is
that it is "A crime for negro to play stud
poker. White men can play this enticing
game all they want to, but the negro
must confine his gambling to craps.
The detectives who regulate gambling
passed the word along the line last night
that craps would not be allowed north of
Van Buren, street, and then only in houses
conducted by coored men. Stud poker
was to be barred hereafter in colored
houses, the detectives said, and failure to
obey the order would result in the closing
of the offending house.

Recollecting the value Of an experiment
of the Iowa Agricultural college some
years ago, Secretary Wilson IS going to
attempt something in the same direction.
He has decided to send Prof. Hampton
of South Dakota to Western Asia to-
make Il collection Of plants and grains
which flourish there with a view to their
introduction in this country, where like
climatic and soil conditions prevail The
Iowa college did this, sending Prof Budd
to Russia and Siberia. The fruits and
grains and vegetables which be brought
were tried in parts of Iowa. and added
much to the productiveness Of the state.
This proved particularly true Of the cher
ries which were introduced in Iowa in
that way. Those cherries are even finer
than in the Russian climate, from which.
they We're brought. Secretary Wilson be
lieves that Prof Hampton viii find some
things, the introduction of which will be
especially valuable IL some Of the more

An Unsatisfactory Verdict.

being out forty-one hours, the jury in the
Normand murder case returned a verdict
of guilty, fixing the penalty at impris-
onment for life Public sentiment here
is almost solid for the death penalty, and
there is much feeling against the action
of the jury. Normand will be tried again
on Il second charge of murder ON July
- for killing the youngest of the boys.
Normand killed two and seriously
wounded two others of the Hillstead chill
dren in order to brighten their mother
and then criminally assaulted her.
