President Mckinley at Atlanta, where

AN OPTIMISTIC SERMON.
DIR. Kent breaches ON the Comm;
Race.

DIR. Kent breaches the Coming
Race.
Conspicuous in the congregation yester-
day morning at the Peoples Church were
several congressman and other prominent
men, attracted there to hear the pastor,
the Rev. DIR. Alexander Kent, deliver
sermon on the topic of 1.-THE Coming
Race" DIR. Kent chose his subject from
the title of a book recently published hy
a Unitarian minister in Massachusetts.
The speaker said that, while the present
trend is not such as to promise an
immediate recopstruction OF the affairs
of the world. there is an under
current, moving with resistless force
toward the elimination of the reign
of people whose principles shall be
founded upon the law of kindness, gentle
ness and friendliness and that this state
of altruism was that which was prophe-
sled by Jesus the Christ. when he said
Meek shall inherit the earth"
The minister explained that the word
meek has fallen into disrepute since the
days when the Divine Teacher made His
prediction. and that men and women are
not willing to have the term applied to
them in the sense the word now implies
but that they are willing to be called
kind, gentle and friendly.
Among the favorable signs that tend
toward the better civilization. DIR. Kent
spoke feelingly of the cordial relations ex-

For some time past complaints have
been received at the Fourth precinct sta

being conducted in that precinct, and
Sergt. ]. C. Daley finally decided to employ
drastic measures to put stop to the un-
full proceedings. Early yesterday morning
he gathered about him Policemen Bode,
O'Dea, Wheeler. Bennett, Lightfoot, Will
lingham and Siebert and inaugurated
series of raids.
The raiding party first visited the bar
ber shop of Thomas Fitzgerald, in
Seventh Street, between n and Streets
and there found, as expected, a poker
game in full blast. The police proceeded
quietly and took the players by surprise.
capturing Fitzgerald and several others.
The latter were taken into custody as wit
nesses, while Fitzgerald was arrested on
charge of conducting gaming house.
Later. Sergt. Daley, with his squad,
swooped down on a house at No. 4sl
Franklin Street northwest. Here they
found a full-fiedged crap game, with
large number of colored men in attend
anee as players. The door of the house,
though locked, was quickly broken in and
general scrimmage ensued.
Albert Coleman and Walter Pickett who
were conducting the game, sought safety
III hiShtt anu Jumped from windows on
the second floor to the ground Pickett
landed on fence, and sustained severe
laceration of the scalp. which was treated
at the Homeopathic Hospital. Later he
was locked up.
Coleman succeeded in landing safely
and made his escape, but was afterwards
captured at the home of his mother. at
No. 1913 Fourth Street northwest He was
found hiding under the bed and would
have. in all probability, escaped the notice
of the police, had he been able to conce al
his feet These stuck out from the end
of the bed and revealed him lying in a
heap in a vain endeavor to eyade his
pursuers. He was taken to the station
house and. together with Pickett, charged
with permitting gaming on his premises
The last raid of the morning was made
on the home of Charles Ridgely, colored.
at the corner of Pierce and First Streets,
Here the officers were as fortunate as in
the proprietor and several players as wit
nesses against him.
Entrance to the place was gained after
strong barricade of oak sticks had been
destroyed in an effort to exclude the po-
lice. The game in progress was crap, and
the players were taken by surprise
When they heard the assault on the
front doors they rushed to a rear window
and In attempting to escape ran into the
arms OF policemen stationed there.
Ridsely will appear In court this morn
ing and answer to the same charge as the
other unfortunate victims Of Sergt.
