A SERMON CosT 81, ,OOO.-The Sermon
preached by Rev. Alfred Smith. in
Wesley NJ. E. Church, at Dover, re-
Gently, denOuncing the Kent Club
OF that town, has been much discussed.
particularly by members of Wesley
Church and citizens of Dover. A cor.
respondent of the Ecc,y Ercning of
Tuesday last writes as follows:
"The denunciation of the Kent Club
by members of Wesley Church will
cause that church to lose 81, 900, which
sum a prominent citizen of Dover had
intended to give to the church on the
occasion of its rededicatiOn, next
month. He will save the money for
some church whose members do not
derlde the Kent Club.
In his sermon DR.. Smith said "that
the Kent Club is a place where the
young men of Dover are in training
for the blackleg's table" Besides he
denounced dancing and pool playing
IN no mild no terms. DR.. Smith must
defend the church in its religious and
moral bearings, or he would be re-
creant to his duty. The church can
not lower ITS standard to the behests of
society, without religious paralysis.

The bladder was created for one pur-

The first way is from imperfect action

Beware of Cintments for Ca

Beware of Cintments for Ca
tarrh that contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physi-
clans, as the damage they will do is
ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, o., contains no mercury, and
is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. In buying Halls Ca

uine. 1t is taken internally, and made

Every day strengthens the belief of emil

Twenty-Five years ago this theory was used

by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.

Here are the latest directions: Use
one teaspOOnful of Grain-O O to two cups

LET SPAIN TRY IT.

Since the wrecking of the U. S.
battle ship, Maine, the Spanish pa
pers have been INDUCING in vision
AIRY editorials, urging the Latin
races TO unite with Spain against the
United States. 1t is claimed that
the Spanish republics are weak
through isolation, and that if united
in military and diplomatic alliance,
they would be the first power in the
world in territory, the second in
population, and that their armies
and navies would have sufficient
power to insure respect. Spanish
papers say that mutual jealousies
prevent them from taking the init
alive, and that Spain is the power
to bring them together against the
intrusion of the Anglo Saxon"
This is all idle talk. Spain would
no more think Of running up against
Uncle Sam in a movement of this
kind than she would think of put
ting her head in-the lions mouth
just across the Channel. The Latin
races over on this side of the world
look up to this country and respect
her. The fearless defense of the
| Monroe Doctrine on several occa-
sions has taught Central Americans
10 believe that in the United States
they have a friend whose strong
arm Is always ready TO protect them
from foreign aggression. Spain
does not command that love, respect
| or confidence among American re-
publics, that she can inaugurate and
carry out a scheme of uniting Latin
/ America against this Union. She
has long ceased to be power that
can strike terror to any but little
band of patriots ON a distant isle,
and even these she seems powerless
to conquer.
Does the Spanish press talk about
whipping this country? Why, there
are dozen states in this Union that
could whip Spain ont of her boots
single handed. Even should all
:. Latin America join her and hurl
} their deadllest death bolts against
us, what could they do with US
, We who taught the lion submission
both on land and sea; who gave him
taste Of American pugnacity al
Bunker Hill, Boston, Yorktown; and
later on at Chalmette, when old
Andrew Jackson stood like Stone
wall Jackson behind his cotton bales
and rained shot and she'll upon then

Hardly see the Red Coats Tor the

to Texas in her struggle for indie
, pendence, and planted the flag of thu
, Union over the historic halls of ths

with us? Why the very suggestion
of buckipg up against Uncle Sam il
