The members of Camps 17S and 1893,
Patriotic order of True Americans, as
sembled in their headquarters last
evening at $50 o'clock and marched to
the Simpson Methodist Episcopal
church, where they listened to their
anniversary sermon. The body num-
bered about two hundred members and
each one was attired in the regalia of
the order. The seats in the two centre
aisles, from the front halfway down
the church, were reserved for the camp,
and every seat in the large edifice was
taken, it being necessary to use the
drop seats in the aisles for the accom-
modation of the hundreds Of people
who gathered within the. church. The
service was begun promptly at o'clock
by the singing of the familiar hymn,
"Oh, for a Thousand Tongues"
The pulpit decorations We're prettily
arranged. on the right of the pedestal
was crayon portrait of George Wash
ingtOn, and on the left an excellent
likeness in crayon of Abraham Lin
coin. In the centre, resting on draped
chair, was the shield of the order, up
on which were the words, the motto
Of the organization, God, Our Coun-
try, and Our Order" The pulpit pedes-
tai was tastily draped with a beautiful
silk American flag, and surrounding the
enclosure streamers blended in har-
mony with the other decorations.
Following the singing of the hymn,
the pastor. Rev. j. b. Sweet, offered
prayer. and the choir afterwards sang
an anthem. The speaker chose for the
text the fourth chapter in the Book of
Deuteronomy, verses 5-10 inclusive,
Behold, have taught you statutes of
judgment" etc. After the reading of
the chapter, the choir sang another
anthem.
In his opening remarks, the speaker
welcomed the members of the order on
behalf of the church and extended to
them the hospitality of the church at
all times. In commenting on the prin-
ciples of the order. he said the organ
ization holds, permanently firstly, that
God is supreme; secondly, their love of
| their country, and thirdly, brotherly
relation. He felt quite at home to stand
as an American citizen and preach to
a representative body of Americans,
| but said he had no doubt but that
those of alien birth are just as good
| citizens.
I'VE are the representatives Of the
nation and of national life," he said.
! I'VE are all ready to stand for the
principles you represent, for we are all
| brethren. Heavens rules governs di-
| rect, for blessed is the people whose
! God is the Lord. 1t is especially fitting
that we should gather on this occasion.
| There never has been a time in history
when God could not put his hand on
| the right men needed along the lines
! of leadership"
The male quartette sang "Tenting
| Tonight on the Old Camp Ground" and
| the congregation Joined in the singing
| Of My County, 'Tis of Thee" The
! congregation remained seated while
| the members Of the order made their
! exit.

HOUSTON w AS STIRRED
THE EXPLOSION THE ONLY THING
THAT WAS DISCUSSED.
General Sentiment Was that II Good
sized Regiment Could Be Raised
Here III Necessary.

The talk of Houston yesterday was the
battloship Maine disaster in the port Of
Havana and The Post, which contained
the most complete account of the blow-up
published in Texas. was in demand. There
was no suppression of sentiment with ref
cronce to the explosion, and there seemed
to be but ono opinion extant-that the at
fair should be thoroughly investigated and,
IL Necessary wipe the Spanish navy and
army off the face of the earth.
Less impetuous persons construed the at
titude of the American government TO
mean that war would be avoided as long
as possible. one OF them expressing him
self thusly: "1he merchants and business
men of the United states do not want war
with Spain" to which Texan replied
rather hastily: 1.-The merchants, happly,
are not the only people TO be considered
The incident terminated without flash.
hut the sentiment was noe just Tie same.
City news, or happenings OF State
importance were relegated for the day Al
classes discussed nothing but the explosion
Every story was listened to with the same
eagerness that characterized the people or
the North and OF the South when the con-
fliei between the States was imminent.
Bulletins posted at several places on the
business streets uttracsel crowds, that
either passed tnem with a comment that
the chief executive would attend to such
matters, or, perchance, volunteered Their
opinion of what action should be taken in
the premises.
News from Washington was what the
people wanted. The Posts telephones were
kept busy all day yesterday and all last
night asking for late information and con-
firmation or denial of some of the numer-
Gus rumors that were afloat.
Those old enough to have vivid recol-
lection of the time when the South was
called to arms. expressed themselves as
being ready to go again, and. indeed. it
looked as If President Mckinley could
raise an army numbering in the thousands
IN Texas alone. and upon an hours notice
