Sunday at St. Peters Church.

In the absence of Rector Dame, who
is away on his August vacation, the
doors of st. Peters church were open
ed on Sunday morning to hear a SER
mon by Rev. Peregrine Wroth, of Balti-
more, who is also on a vacation, visiting
relations in this town. The congrega-
tiOn remembered the earnest and spir-
itual discourse delivered a year ago in
the chapel, and were out in force. The
choir supplemented the services with
excellent music.
Rev. Mr.. Wroth had for his text,
being-The Touch of Christ and the
Touch of Faith. The principal point
urged was that the mission of the min
lister of to-day was the same as that of
Christ-that the world to-day was
longing for q touch of the sympathy
that was manifested in Christ, not in
the guided structure and imposing
ceremony, but the sympathy that He
exhibited in the daily contact with the
people. The discourse bristled with
earnest thought and spiritual fire that
warmed and held the close attention of
his. audience as he held before them
the "Touch of Christ" and the ''touch
of faith" they must have if they would
possess the beneficial effect of coming
within His touch and presence.
The fervor in the congregational
singing was noticeable. This was es-
pecially so in the hymns, 'Nearer My
God to Thee" and 'fI Need the Every
Hour" A number of Presbyterians
and Methodists were in the congrega-
tion, and one of the attendants of ST.
Peters remarked that he had never be-
fore heard the congregation enter SO
heartily and soulfully in the singing.

TIE war is over. Peace now reigns
where less than week ago there was
strife and bloodshed. This was
brought about, as there had been inti-
nations for a week or two would be
the case, by signing of the Protocol
by Secretary of State, VIM. r. Day,
and Jules Cambon, French Ambassa-
dor, representing Spain at 4.23 o'clock
on Friday, at the White House.
AS soon as the agreement had re-
ceived the official signatures orders
were sent, the American military and
naval commanders directing a suspen-
sion of hostilities. The President also
issued proclamation giving notice Of
the protocol.
The terms of the protocol are prac-
tically the same as those proposed by
the United States soon after the ne
gotiations began. Porto Rico, the
other Spsnish islands in the West In
dies, except Cuba, and an island in
the Ladrones to be selected by the
United States are to be ceded to this
country. Spain viii relinquish all SOY

The Work Of Thieves.

The residence of Mrs. s. E. Cum
ningham on the corner of South and
Pearl streets was entered last Wednes-
day night by thieves and the house thor
Oughly ransacked. There was no one
in the house at the time. Mrs. Cum
ningham and her daughter, Miss
Annie Cunningham had left that
morning for weeks soiourn
at Atlantic City. They left the key
in charge of Policeman Joseph
Garner. 1t is supposed that the rob-
bers knew of the whereabouts of the
residents and had outlined their plans
accordingly. At any event they broke
in that night and started their plum
der. Entrance was gained by break
ing in the front window, and tearing
off the folding blinds. From the dis
order and confusion, it appears that
they plundered every room in the
house. Everything was turned upside
down, closets were searched, clothes
were strewn upon the floor, bureau
drawers were pillaged and their con-
tents dumped on the floor, and in fact
most everything they could find. It
Is quite evident that the burglars were
after money.
IL PdooAhB ny early LuuhSuhJ AhOl "A
ing, Policeman Garner noticed that
the kitchen door was thrown wide
open, and suspicioning something he
made an investigation, only to find
in the order as above mentioned. The
officer then went to the home Of Miss
Anna Cats, sister of Mrs. Cunning
ham, to notify her of the robbery.
The latter made thorough inspection
OF the work done by the thieves, but
saw nothing missing to her knowledge.
The extent of the robbery will not be
known until Mrs. Cunningham and
her daughter arrive Policeman Gar
ner Is on the search for the parties as
it is very evident that the work was
done by local thieves, probably the
same who entered the residences of f.
=. Postles andJ. Ed. Hoffecker, during
their absence from town only short
time ago.

Perhaps one of the hppiest men in

of Peace was President Mckinley. He
gets universal praises from our public
men and papers for the part he played
in the conduct of the variable, dis
interested, patriotic-but though the
war is virtually closed, it is not sealed,
and will not be until the Treaty of
Peace is signed by the commissioners
Of Spain and the United States, some
time in October. The army and navy
must virtually remain intact until this
event. He has had no rest neither day
nor night, and the war to him he says
has been going on since the fourth
day of March 1897, for he saw a con-
fict was coming.
President Mckinley is not making
any preparations for a vacation. He
will conclude the summer in Washing.

capital until the commissioners have
been appointed TO arrange for Spanish

and until the peace commissioner

was lost went to show the valOr of our
troops in the late war with Spain, but
the following from one of the few sur
viving Spanish officers of the battle at
Ell Caney, near Santiago, shows
stronger than anything we can say,
the real bravery displayed by the
Americans:
'I have never seen anything to equal
the courage and dash of those Ameri-
cans, who, stripped to the waist, offer
ing their naked breasts to our murder
GUS fire, literally threw themselves on
our trenches, on the very muzzles OF
our guns.

position and moved them down by the
hundreds, but they never retreated OF

shot through the heart, another would

like lions and fell like men courting Q
wholesale massacre which could we'll

read with sorrow of the death of Mr..

gentle and most hospitable citizen of
your town. He was a friend of

he so we'll represented. His beautiful
home was identified with q genial and
generous hospitality. He was devo-
ted father, a constant friend and man
full of public spirit and in every way
identified with the prosperity of his
town and State. His death will be
greatly lamented by a large circle of
friends and has left void in the hearts
and home of his children which God
only can fill by the consolation of His
holy spirit.

Indies are to be Immediately eyacu-
ted, and commissioners are to meet at
Havana and San Juan to arrange the
details of the evacuation.
A semi-official note was issued in
Madrid stating that the Spanish army
has not been conquered and will re-
turn home with all it's arms and war
munitions. As to the Cuban debt, the
United States, says the note, refuses
to assume it, and Spain will try to ar
range with the Cuban treasury to pay
it when the island is able. The Span
ish government, it is set forth, wishes
to retain all of the Philippines.
Efforts are being made to allay the
excitement in Spain caused by the be-
lief that the surrender has been too
humiliating.
Thomas Estrada Palma, head of the
iunta in New York, says he believes
the Cuban insurgents will undoubt-
edly cease fighting when they hear
that Spain has agreed to evacuate the
island.
No reopening of hostilities after the
execution of the terms of this protocol
is to be apprehended, even remotely.
The signing of the protocol marks the
ending of the war. The United States
is victor. It is equally true in peace
making. The terms of the protocol
are those dictated by the President in
his answer a fortnight ago to Spain's
first tentative approaches. Efforts
have been made to secure some modi-
fcation of them. The Spanish Gov
ernment has used every means of per-
suasion and the French Ambassador
has doubtless presented the Spanish
side of the case with all possible felic-
ity and force. All such attemps have,
however, been in vain. Upon the es-
sential points involved the President
has been, and has rightly been, i'm
movable. The terms offered were moi
hard. They were, on the contrary
generous and magnanimous in a higl
degree. For Spain to have refused
them would have been madness, il
view of the certainty that the mex
offer would be much less favorable tC
her. In accepting them with only
formal demur she has shown greater
wisdom than before in this whole con
troversy.
The great fleet which the United
States has assembled in Cuban water
will be scattered and the finest ship
will be sent to the navy yards, wher
they will be dOcked and Overhaule,
and put in first-class condition. The,
will then be assigned to the variou
foreign stations which the governmen
maintains. The permanent Asiatic an,
Pacific squadrons will probably b
strengthened, on account of the ne7
conditions following the war wit
Spain.

AS LONG a time as the war lasted
says the Ledger, must elapse before
the regular meeting of Congress. In
the meantime many new complications
will be added to our foreign policy.
The Peace Commission will meet and
probably finish its labors; Porto Rico
will be occupied, and a definite atti-
tude will be taken up in Cuba. On all
these matters Congress will have to
legislate, and more questions for which
no precedent can be found will come it
than have troubled any previous Con-
gress since the first. There will be
need of great wisdom in both houses.

Services at the Methodist Church.

In the absence of Pastor Hill, who
is taking q vacation, and the inability
of Rev. T. H. Haynes, who was expec-
ted to have charge of the morning SER
vice at the Methodist church Sunday,
but was prevented by a defect of
voice, Rev. E. H. Hynson filled the
pulpit effectively. His discourse was
from the passage in Matthew, "For
they are dead which sought the young
child's life''-being a clearly defined
and we'll sustained course of thought
on the mission and ultimate triumph
of Christ. Herod had thought to de-
stroy Christ in his infancy, but the King
soon died, the Savior living on to fulfill
his mission to men. The Jews had the
same mission in view, but the spirit of
Christ has lived, the civilizing and
evangelizing power of the world, so
Julian the Apostate, Nero, and others
in the early centuries thought to stamp
out the infant church, but soon they
died and the church kept on growing
and increasing in power.
While the works of many of those
who wrote to defeat the church died in
influence with them, their writings are
valuable now as history, in showing
WldI Iu6 CHURCH met anu bt1ulupu6u
over from time to time. So it was in
later years with Strauss, Paine, Hume
&c, in every case there being some one
raised up to meet and answer their
charges, which were for a time dam
aging. Who reads or cares for these
men now, who sought the young
child's life, while on the contrary the
teachings of the latter are proving the
healing of the Nations?
At the Twilight services the hymns
selected by Mr. L. M. Price were in
reference to one subject-Heaven
were sung with spirit, including the
reading between the hymns, by several
members of the choir, of a pas
of sage Scripture bearing on the sub
iect. An enjoyable feature of the sing
ing was a duet by L. NJ. Price and E
p. Taylor Rev. Mr.. Hynson cOnclud

mon.

will be present and fill his pulpit OF
