He was but a speck in the distance. and
the crowds settling upon him as The

A war play was presented at one Of
the outlying theateTs all last week In
front OF the theater stood a Calling
gun. supposed TO be a proper advertise
ment for a military play of the herO-c
kind
This mounted gun. with its shiny me-
tallic parts and pepper-box barrel had
a crowd around it most Of the time.
One afternoon as some twenty men
and boys formed a circle around
the gun, looking at it with silent awe, a
man with his hat on the back of his
head broke through the circle, and
slapping the sun, shouted: Down with
Shpain? Amt that right ?'
That's right" replied young man.
You bet it's right. Down with

body here ready to enlist and go 70 the

There was no immediate response. so
he brought forth a small memorandum
book and pencil and shouted. Come
on. now. All that are ready to start
right out and fight Shpain step Up and
give me your names Come on, if you
have any nerve"
a man stepped out of the circle and
whispered his name 10 the enIisting Of

man stepped up TO enlist.
In the meantime the crowd was be-
coming larger. attracted by the shouts
of the patriot who was putting the

REV. DIR. HAML1N ON UNBELIEE
The Most Stnlvart Christian Has His
Mental Reservations

Mental Reservations.
DR.. Teunis S. Hamlin preached an in
teresting sermon at the Church of the
Covenant yesterday morning His sub
iect was "Unbelief." and he took his text
from Hebrews iii:12-13. He said in part:
What thoughts are in your mind when
you hear that word? Do you ask yourself
if you are an unbeliever? Does the ques-
ton startle you? If the answer is in the
affirmative does it alarm you? Deplora-
bic ii may be, but not reprehensible: sad,
but not wrong. Whether unbelief is wick
ed or unfortunate, and the temperament
of the hour is toward the latter or, rath-
er, Indifference we remember time
when it was crime.
'In New England century ago and in
New York less than half a century ago
the unbeliever was a marked man, one to
be stunned by the better element of the
community. In some portions of the
country there are still certain sects who
hold this view, but the sentiment is not
universal. This state of things has its
advantages. 1t means tolerance; it pro-
notes Christian charity, and records the
DISTANCE From the lnQulS1UOn. For all
this we are thankful. but does not this
Indifference also record a weakening of
the sense of sin? And do we take our
selves to task for it? 1t is a fact that we
are little concerned in this matter. No
one wants to bring the unbeliever pain or
torture; that is the way to confirm his
unbelief. Nor do we wish to resort to So
cial ostracism. Christians should find a
way TO show him that unbeief is a sin;
that it is an immortality. We cannot help
If we do not sympathize. No man is a
total unbeliever. The most staIwart
Christian has his mental reservations
Freedom is essential to evil and freedom
TO believe means ability to believe.
I'VE pride ourselves on our inability tc
be deceived-to be swindled. How cha
grined we are If a sharp imposter gets
the better of us; not for the loss Of the
| money, but it hurts our pride to find we
are not the keen judges of character we
thought we were. And again, how fine
ii is to be told we are discerning: how
| impossible it is to deceive us; yet sir
/ deceives us all. We are hardened by the
| deceitfulness of sin and our conscience
/ is scared. If we condemn the nissan
/ thrope for shutting himself off from his
/ fellow-men, what of the man who denies
! his God?'

DIR. JoHNsToN's FAREWELL
Many Moist Eyes at The Conclusion
of His Sermon.


Dr. Hugh Johnston. for five years pas
tor of the Metropolitan NJ E. Church, in
this city, preached his farewell sermon
to large congregation yesterday morn
ing. DR.. Johnston spoke of the friend
ships he had formed during his pasto-
rate here. There were many moist eyes
when he finished his sermon. Almost the
entire congregation went forward to
shake hands with the preacher at the con-
clusion Of the services President Nc
KinIey did not attend church yesterday.
The text selected by DR. Johnston was
III Corinthians xiii:14-"The grace of the
Lord Jesus Christ and The love and the
communion of the Holy Ghost be with
you ALL" He said that the early apOs,
ties Of Christ knew some of the trials
and hardships of the ministry. having to
preach for a little while in one place and
then continuing on over the country,
leaving their old friends for the new.
But though the scene changed contin-
ually." said he, they were not forgot
ten, nor did they forget the ties which
bound them TO their Lord and their
friends.
There can be no true Christ unless we
believe in a Divine Creator and Redeem
er and are willing to do His bidding. But
let us follow the text and we find, first,
the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. The
word grace has q world of meaning and
can be applied to blessings and saliva
ton. What a display Of grace in His per
sOnality, and every blessing thus shown
belongs TO US and was created for us by
Him He is our life and we live for Him.
That grace can be likened 10 the sun,
which shines on all and lights up the Elk
ecutive Mansion as well as the humblest
cottage. 1t is an emblem of the grace Of
our Lord Jesus Christ"
DR.. Johnston said that we are saved
by grace, but the completion of that sal
walton is like the situation in Cuba-the
Cubans cannot take the seapOrts and the
/ Spanish cannot conquer the island. IT is
thus the battle proceeds between the flesh
and the spirit The blood of Christ can
cleanse all things, and He was called
Christ, for He was to save all Christians.
In conclusion. DIR. Johnston said;
And now it becomes my duty to bid
/ you farewell. During the five years !
( have served as pastor Of your church
over four hundred names have been add
/ ed to the church register in conversions
/ and by letter. Some of you are yet I'M
/ saved, but If ii is through any fault of
mine / humbly apologize, and ask that
! you accept the teachings of Christ at the
/ present time / have been with you in
! sickness and in death. / have met around
the family altar with members of the
/ congregation until I have almost become
! a part OF the family / have been With
you in joy and in sorrow, and when
/ death has stalIed down these aisles and
carried away dearly beloved ones l have
! tried to comfort you. / will now seek a
new field Of labor. but wherever | go may
/ His memory ever be cherished and His
/ Word upheld, and we shall meet In that

erlasting altar Amen

THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
THE NEW MEDICAL DISCOVER
TESTED.
Results of the Test in Various
Forms of Dyspepsia.

Chronic Indigestion or dyspepsia, while
a very common trouble, has for some
time been looked upon by able physi-
clans as a serious thing, and that no
time should be lost in treating it properly
at the start, because recent researches
have shown that the most serious, fatal
and incurable diseases have their origin
in simple dyspepsia or indigestion.
Diabetes is simply one form of indi-
gestion, the sugar and starchy food not
being assimilated by the digestive or
gans In Brights disease the albumen
is not properly assimilated.
While consumption and dyspepsia are
twin diseases, and it is beyond question
! that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for
the seeds Of consumption.
But the trouble has been to find a
remedy that could be depended upon to
cure dyspepsia, as ii Is nOtOrously obsti-
! nate and difficult to cure.
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike,
until the question was solved three years
ago by the appearance of a new dyspep-
STA cure in the medical world known as
| Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets, which it was
| claimed was a certain. reliable cure
for every form OF stomach trouble.
Physicians, however, would not accept
such statements without first giving the
new remedy many tests and carefully OBJ
| serving results.
| For three years the remedy has been
thoroughly tested in every section of the
country and with surprising and salts
| factory results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be hon
estly claimed to be a specific, a radical
| lasting cure for indigestion in the var
/ ious forms of acid dyspepsia or sour
stomach. gas or wind on stomach, toe
much bile, undue fullness or pressure
after eating, and similar symptoms re,
sulting from disordered digestion
| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were not
placed before the public until this three
year, trial left no doubt as to THEN
value, and they have recently been plac
ed in the trade and can be found OF
sale at all druggists at the nominal price
| of 80 cents per package
No extravaganza claims are made fol
the remedy. 1t will not cure rheuma
| tism, pneumonia typhoid fever, nor any
| thing but just what it is claimed to cure
and that is every form of stomach trou
| bis.
No dieting is necessary; good, whole
some food, and plenty of it, and you ma!
rest assured that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest ii.
| Druggists claim for it that it is pleas
ure TO recommend it to dyspeptics. be
cause it gives such universal satisfac
ton.

Sugar Beets.

The interest in the question of estab. fishing factories for making sugar from beets is increasing. I believe we now have seven such factories in this coun- try, only one of which is in the East. The establishment of such factory is a big undertaking. Two things must be known; namely, the ability of farmers to produce beets of the requisite purity and their willingness to produce ttem is sufficient amount. When these con- ditions are met, capital is ready for in vestment. It takes about il alf million dollars to build and equip good factory and to run it year. The providing of this capital and the making of the sugar are work for the capitallst-the less the average farmer has to do with such a company the better for him. If there is anything for the farmer in the sugar business, it is in the growing of the beets. He can become a producer of beets with some safety, but the manu- facture of sugar is outside ofhis natural line of work.

 ''Not that know of. There is one case of a young man enlisted, with the consent of his parents, who is only r years of age, but he weighs over POO pounds.

The Loud Bill.

Now that the Loud bill has received it's quietus. it is worth while inquirlng why what seemed an honest attempt at a needed reform failed so signally. The topic has been agitated for years, the abuses are notorious, everybody worth considering agrees that something ought to be done. Why then, did not this bIll pass the House?
 Because 1t attempted too much.
 There were other factors at work. PaItisanship entered into the contest. Foes of the railroad saw chance to score on them by declaring the postal deficit due to excessive railroad charges. Candidates for reelection learned that their organs would be more costly If issues containing campaign material could not be scattered at pound rates. In some cases the pressure brought to bear by interested publishers doubtless changed votes.
 Yet 1t IS altogether probable that if the measure had been less sweeping and had been more just, it would nave be- come law.
