The people of the larger cities and towns
of the country have become SO accustomed
to seeing attachments of the Salvation Army
going their way about the streets that the
sight has lost the interest of novelty and
attracts little attention from those who
complacently classify themselves as belong
ing to the better classes. But with this loss
of curiosity has gone also the prejudice that
was at first felt toward these grotesque
evangelists, or rather toward their methods.
The fact has been recognized that they
reach an element that the church does not
influence, and that is in very great need of
regeneration moral and physical The fact
is realized that the emotional appeals of the
sometimes illiterate speakers, the prayers
spoken in such familiar colloquialisms as to
seem almost blasphemous, the rude hymns
sung to dance-hall tunes--that all these
primitive utterances express genuine and
earnest piety which cannot have other than
a good effect. The purpose of the founders
was the uplifting Of the churchless. the
homeless. the voorhees, and the so-called
worthless members of society, and this aim
the organization has kept steadily in view.

figures. The work in this country, 1t seems,
stands second only to Great Britain in point
of numbers. During the twelve months end

EMILE lola COMING.
The French Novelist VIII Make q
Flying Trip After 100000.

NEW YORK, March 3O.-Emile lola. the
French novelist, recently tried and con-
victed of libel of his government in his de-
Tense of Captain Dreyfus, has notified Id
mund Gerson, of 1867 Broadway that he
will accept the latters offer to deli. er a
series of lectures, probably fifteen in num-
Der, in the United States. One, and perhaps
more, Of the series will be heard in New
York Although lola has not yet said so,
the theme of all his lectures probably will
be the anti-Semitic feeling in Europe, par
ticularly in France, and the bitterness and
unfairness charged in the Dreyfus trial and
later exemplif1ed in his own case.
The famous French writer long strug
gler for the highest academic honors his
country can pay son, a seat among the
forty immortals, will receive something like
$50, 600 for his flying trip to America. 1t is
more than foreigner ever before received
for q like experience, probably more than
Ysaye and IIofmann combined will receive
for their performances in America. A Eu-
rOpean operate star would have to work
shockingly hard for an entire season to re-
ceive as much. Just when lola will come to
last Friday by the French government to-
allow him the formality Of appeal from
the decision of the court sentencing him to
one years Imprisonment. It was almost i'm
mediatey after this was made known that
Zola cabled his acceptance of Mr.. Gerson's
offer for a lecture tour, but he did not say
whether he would come to the United States
in the interim pending the result Of his APP
peal or not. This matter is to be de-
cided by cable. Mr.. Gerson, who has had
business dealings with the novelist for
twenty years, made his offer 10 the latter
six weeks ago. Zola'S trial was then I'm
progress and he cabled that he could not
give. a decisive answer until it had been
finished.

the tens of thousands of colored voters are
reduced to the few thousand who have
learned to read and write in a State which
has so few schools that illiteracy has in
creased in the two last decades. On the
ether hand, nearly every illiterate white
can vote under one of the several provisions
made for his benefit If the amendment to
the Constitution of Louisiana should be
submitted to the people for ratification, as
are all amendments in Indiana, it would be
rejected. As in other States in which the
colored vote is large, the constitutional
convention adopts the amendment, and that
is the end of it.
