CLASH IN PARIS THREATENED
Military Authorities to Keep Pr
quart in Prison.
DREYFUSITES DESPONDENT,
Conflict Between Civil and Military An
thor1ties Is Approaching an Acute
stage-General Zurlinden Ignores Civil
Government and Defends the Army.

PARIS Sept. 23.-The air is full OF
| rumors OF sensational developments.
among other things it was announced
that Lieutenant Colonel Picquart was
! ALREADY IN the Cherche Midi military
prison. 1t appears, however. that the
authorltles OF La Sante prison refused
70 deliver him up in the absence of the
necessary formalities, but there is no
ooubt that he will be in the Cherche
Midi prison before night.
The Dreyfusites are somewhat de-
spondent, the military authorities who
were responsible for the shelving of
the Plcquart trial having apparently
regalned the upper hand. 1t is feared
that Plcquart will be kept in prison
and his trial indefinitely postponed in
order to keep his mouth shut.
Inc conflict between the civil and
military authorities is becoming acute.

governor of Paris, in prosecuting

A Receiver Should Receive.

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 23.-Judge Will
llams of the federal court has defined
the duties of receiver as he under
stands them. A receiver of some
property in Western Kansas was in
court trying to get an order to dis
pose of some money. "Mr. Receiver, -
SAID the judge, after listening to the
story, II will not issue such an order.
1t seems to me that your object is to
pay out money for something as fast
as you take it in. A receiver should
take all the money offered him, but
should be slow to pay it out He
should receive. That's why he is

this country In the course of the next
two weeks, visiting New York, Balti-

In view of the prominent part he took
In the military operations around

brought before the federal court at
baltimore on charge of directing one
OF the leading expeditions He was
released on bonds and then left at the
head Of the expedition he had

the time he made a public
statement to the effect that the
cause OF Cuba warranted his escape
from legal prosecution, and that when
the war was over he would voluntarily
return and give himself up to the otll-
GERS of the law. 1t is understood that |
II the government intends to push the |

A MEMORIAL SERVICE.
Rev. Mr.. Smith breaches Funeral Ser
mon at Dewey Street Church.


The morning service at the Dewey
Street Baptist Church, Sunday morning,
was in the nature. of a memorial for the
late Mrs. w B. Chamberlain who, it
will be remembered, died so suddenly a
few days ago. Special music was rem
dered by the choir, and the pastor of
the church, Rev. Harlan Page Smith,
preached memorial sermon from the
text, BE We also ready''-Matthew
Xxiv;44, ,., st,rgee r, s.,
Mr.. Smith alluded to the recent dis
asters which have served to make this
opening of the year memorable, of the
many homes that have been desolated
by the recent disaster to the Maine. The
month of February has also been nota-
BILE in that one of the queens Of the
earth has passed from us (alluding to
the death of Miss Frances E. Willard)
who was able to lead and direct a noble
band of workers enrolled beneath the
banner inscribed, For God and home
and native land" In speaking of the de-
ceased, he said: Cornelia Chamberlain
was born in 1854, she was converted in
1872 in meetings held in the First Bap-
tist Church by Rev. A. B. Earle. evan
gelist, she united with the Pleasant
was teacher in the public schools for
some time. When the Dewey Street
Church was established by Mr.. Sar-
gent, she united with it as constitu-
ent member, and has since been faith
full and earnest worker in the church
and Sunday school, For 10 years she
has had charge of the primary depart
ment of the Sunday school, with great
results for good.
From the death of Mrs. Chamberlain
Mr. Smith deduced three lessons: First,
the blessedness Of being ready for a
sudden summons to the world beyond
secondly, the providential care of God
toward those who trust him; thirdly, the
necessity of loving and caring for our
dear ones while they are with us, not
leaving our tenderness to be expressed
in post mortem eulogies.
A large congregation was present.

WAR oEPLoRED.
Rev Mr. Kent Points Out that Real
Prosperity is Not Based on eIoodshed.

Prosperity is Not Based on 6Ioodshed.
The Rev. G. w. Kent of the South
Unitarian chose for his Sunday morning
subject "The mad arithmetic of war
The prophet Habakl1uk, 900 years before
the birth of Christ, discredits utterly
the i'll gotten gains and glory of war
and pilIage: "Woe," he says, F''woe to
him that buildeth a town with blood and
establisheth city by iniquity. Behold
it is not of the Lord that the people
labor for the fire. and the people
weary from vanity. For the earth shall
be filled with the knowledge of the
glory of the lord, as the waters cover
the sea- All this was written in the
days of the Chaldean conquest, when all
the eastern countries from the Tigris to
the Mediterranean and the Nile had
been devastated and was under the
dominion of the Chaldean conqueror
Nebuchadnezzar, and Babylonia, the
city OF the conqueror, was reared upon
the spoils and the slavery of the ma
tions. Men had been torn from their
families that great public works might
be completed, that the lust of the con-
ANSApA LOl SPlNlidOl tA1lSlll DG SluLlHQ.
In the long run that which is cement
ed together by blood and pressure of
violence gets to those mills of the gods,
which grind they ever so slowly, grind
exceeding fine. Within FIVE and twen-
ty years after the utterances of Habak-
kuk Nebuchadnezzars kingdom had
been among the things that were.
The thoughtful may be able to
draw a lesson from the life of Napo-
leon, or from the history of Spain.
The wars which Nebchadnezzar
waged were wars of rapine and con-
quest. You may ask: How about war
that is not sheer savage indulgence in
the lust of conquest, war for self de-
fence, or for liberty?" Such wars are
sometimes necessary, at such times they
become high and holy duty. England
left nothing else for the American colo
nies to do but to free themselves from
the yoke of oppression, but when Sum-
ter was fired upon, nothing was to be
done but to fight it out War, however,
is bad economy. 1t does not mean good
times, it creates no real plenty, and
when / hear the hope expressed that
war will come for the sake of business,
and hear church members saying this,
am thinking of the Christianity that
hopes to see brother men battering
each other to pieces and devastating
fertile countries.
While the recent civil war was in pro-
gress a few men made fortunes, but
how about the multitudes who lost life,
home, friends, everything? Was that
prosperity?
And Spain is she better off for the de-
porting of her youth and manhood to
die Of wounds and fever thousands OF
miles from home? Has she been re-
markably prosperous for the last de-
cade?
VIII any one dare in the face of our
nations present grief and horror at the
attitude of Spain to us, and the destruc-
ton of our ship in Havana harbor
when hundreds of our men were in an
instant hurried to a sudden death, dare
say that the scene was one of probable
prosperity because a new ship must bt
built to replace the one wrecked? Why
man who would promulgate such
thoughts would be fit for hanging.

MlssoURps STATUES.
Made for the Capital BY Sculptor Welt
Known in Worcester,

Alexander Doyle, well known in this
city as the sculptor of the Gen. George
H. Ward monument dedicated at Rural
cemetery, Memorial day, 1896, and the
brother-in-law of Lieut. Hannibal A.
Johnson of this city, has been gaining
fresh laurels through the remarkably
fine statues he has completed for the
capitol, at Washington, of Missouri

Col James H. Birch, one of the COM
missioners appointed by the act of the
general assembly of Missouri, in 1895

me afraid the sculptor could not bring
out in marble the great strength of
character that lay beneath that face
But when the yelling fell, 1 was trans

true to life, just as I saw him when
he was making his great 1850 speech at
the Pacific railroad meeting in St.
Louis. No one could ever draw Benton
as he was, but this is the finest statue
or painting of him I ever saw.
"And when he inquired for the artist,
introduced him as the grandson of one
of his predecessors. The highest tribute
to the statues came from the action of
the people who thronged the hall each
day. 1t was admitted by all that they
were most imposing.
"They are made from the best Carrara
marble, seven feet in height, standing
upon pedestals three and one-half feet
high, We accepted them, paid for them
and turned them over to the Missouri
delegation to present to congress, and
came away fully satisfied that we had
performed the delicate mission intrusted
to US by the. state in manner salts

his honors quietly, to go to Frederick,

statue of Francis Key, the author of the

1t was the privilege of a, member OF
the Spy staff to see the models of these
statues at the studio of Sculptor Doyle,
in New York city, in April, 1896.
