MIR. MOODY'S MEETINGS.
A Wave of Religion Passes Over
New York.


New York
New York, March 1.-THE eight days
revival which Dwight L. Moody is con-
ducting at the Grand Central Palace.
Lexington Avenue and Forty-third Street,
is attracting greater audiences day after
day. Yesterday. at both the afternoon
and evening meetings, the members pres
ent were larger than on any Of the pre-
ceding days, with the exception of Sun
day.
To see a large hall in New York crowd
ed almost to the doors on a weekday af-
ternoon is not by any means an ordinary
sight, and when the gathering is a relig
iOus one It becomes still more unusual
But that is what occurred yesterday af
ternoon, and several persons who could
not find seat were invited by Mr.. Moody
to the platform. The eyangelist's fire.
quentIy expressed desire that as many as
can possibly do so shall attend the morn
ing prayer meetings at 10 O'Clock has
also resulted in large numbers of people
being present at that hour.
Mr. Moody had only arranged to preach
twice daily, in the afternoon and evening,
day since the mission opened. and his
opening remarks have more than once
expanded into a sermon of considerable
length In which his manner has. IL any
thing, showed even more earnestness, and
his words have been more forcible, than
at the later meetings.

INDEMNITY WILL NOT DO.
Senator Mason Says Honor VIII
Prevent Consideration of 1t.

Senator Mason, patriot and statesman,
has issued the following signed statement
in regard to the American-Spanish situ-
alton:
Much. but not all, depends on the re-
port of the Board of Inquiry as to the
battleship Maine. 1t may possibly free
Cuba without war.
THE Maine disaster is a separate mat
ter, and if ii should be decided ii was
lost by accident and by no fault of Span
iards, we ought not to ask for money in
demnity: but if il was blown up from
the outside we cannot in honor demand
cash indemnity.
''War will follow and the Spanish flag
must be humiliated by yielding territory.
not to us, but to the Cubans, who have al
ready earned their liberty.
Leaving the Maine disaster out of the
question, we have good and sufficient
grounds for demanding the freedom Of
Cuba.
Cuba will free itself if we only grant
it belligerent rights, so that IL can trade
with us, borrow money and make her
seamen sailors instead of pirates, and
stop the interfering we have been indulg-
ing in for three years, at a cost of mill
ions.
Recognizing the independence of Cuba
will help. and think will solve the ques-

The Only Thing
Needed
To Remove Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Consumption
and Pneumonia
From the List of Dangerous Dis
eases Is the Education OF
the People.

Ever since the discovery that catarrh.
bronchitis. pneumonia and consumption
were purely local diseases. caused by the
presence of bacilli in the air passages,
the medical profession throughout the
whole world have bent all their energies
to finding some method or remedy by
which these bacilli could be reached and
destroyed. How they have succeeded is
best told by a glance at the reports pub
lished by the different boards of health
in all the large cities in this country,
which show not only a great increase in
the number of deaths yearly from these
diseases, but a startling growth in the
number of persons afflicted. This failure
to find a cure for diseases of the respi-
ratory organs must not be construed to
mean a lack of ability on the part of
the medical profession. for they have dis
covered many remedies which would kill
these germs. Yet, strange to say, not one
of them could be conveyed to the parts
affected by dry air. II can be readily
seen, then. that the discovery of "Hyo-
mei,' a germiCide of sufficient power to
kill at once the bacilli of these diseases,
and at the same time volatile enough 10
impregnate every particle of air breathed
by the patient, yet leaving it free from
moisture, was one of vital Importance to
the medical world. Doctors throughout
the whole country began to test the eff
cacy of this new remedy and now. after
two years trial in hundreds of cases un-
der their own care, over $500 physicians
claim that "Hyomei," the Australian Dry
Air Cure is the only treatment by which
all the diseased parts of the respiratory
organs can be reached and cured.
Furthermore, it is claimed that in famf-
lies who are predisposed to catarrh and
consumption, If the fathers and mothers
will but instruct their children in the use
of "Hyomei'' the rising generation will
be freed from those dread diseases. It
would seem. then. that nothing remains
to be done in order to remove these dis
eases from the list of dangerous ones
but to teach the people the value of
"Hvnmei" |"

Large audiences have been drawn dur
ing the last few days to the Academy of
Music, where Duncan b. Harrison's Pa
cific Mail" is being given. While a trifle
like Fun on the Bristol this farce is
irresistible in its mirth-provOking tend
encies, and the man who could sit through
the entire performance without continued
and continual laughter would either have
to be mute or deaf and blind. Mr.. Har-
rison has an exceptional company, con-
tanning about forty people. and their per-
formance is of the very best. Bob Gra-
ham, the original Japanese potentate in
THE Little Tycoon. is the funmaker-in-
chief, while a very good vaudeville bill,
which includes Nine. AleXra, and Maggie
Cline, is a feature of the show. St. Pat
rick's Day and Miss Cline should be close
ly associated, and today's business should
be, by all odds. the biggest yet.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A Female Counterfeiter Tries to
Hang Herself.

New York. March 17.-Airs. Mary Knapp,
of Buffalo, n. Y, who is serving four
wears at hard labor in the Essex County
Penitentiary, in Caldwell. n. J.. for coun-
terfeiting, attempted suicide by hang
ing last night.
While Keepers Cadmus and Post were
making their rounds through the peni
tentiary corridors one of them heard
sound resembling the falling or a chair.
They investigated and found the noise
proceeded from the cell occupied by Mrs.
knapp. She had fashioned rope by
twisting and plating her bed sheets.
One end she made fast to the cell grating.
the other end she tied about her neck.
after mounting the little stool with which
all cells are supplied. Then she kicked
away the stool, leaving herself hanging
by the neck.
The keepers cut her down, and. though
she was strangied into unconsciousness,
life was not extinct. DR.. Whitehorne sue
ceeded in restoring her in about half an
hour. She is now out of danger.
This attempted seif-destruction is only
another event in remarkably stormy
life Mrs. Knapp is not more than thirty
two years old. She is the daughter of
highly respected parents still living in
Buffalo where she was married about
eight years ago to George Knapp. a pro-
fessional accountant. In 1894 man call
ing himself Dr. Clark opened faith cure

Mrs. Knapp became an infatuated pa
tient of DR.. Clark They eloped in 1895.

children. The elopers were located in
Chicago, but fed to the East. In Chi
