orator. He spoke like a man to men. He had a way of impressing you with his personality. There was man be- hind the spoken word. It was in this that his power lay. Saving common sense marked his handling of every topic in the pulpit. Tie never charmed his hearers like Bishop Brooks. He was not learned and subtle like Chalmers, but there was pothing commonplace or ordinary about him, and he remained until the last one of the big men of his church and generation.
 In addition to his pastoral duties, pr. Hall was at one time chancellor of the University of the City of New York. He published a number of religious books. including Family Prayers For Four Weeks" 1888; Papers For Home Reading" 1871: Questions of the Day" 1873; Gods Word Through Preaching" 1875: Foundation Stones For Young Builders" 1879. and. in conjuhction with G.

DIR. JOHN HALL DEAD.
CELEBRATED NEW YORK CLERGYMAN
 PASSES AWAY IN IRELAND.
He Was the Pastor of the Famous Fifth Avenue Church In New York. . Preacher of Great Force and & Writer of Many Religious Works.

Dr. John Hall. pastor of the Fifth Av- enue Presbyterian church in New York, died on Saturday at Bangor, near Bell fast, where he was passing his summer vacation.
 He was born in the county of Armagh. Ireland. on July 31. 1929. He was edu- cated at Belfast college, which he en- tered when he was 13 years old. After completing his studies there he receiv- ed his license to preach in 1S49. going as a missionary to the west of Ireland. He became pastor of a Presbyterian church in Armagh In 1852. and in 1858 became pastor of St. Mary's abbey in Dublin. The Presbyterian church of Ireland sent him as a delegate to the Presbyterian churches of the United States in 1887. and shortly after his re- turn to Ireland he received call to the pastorate of the Fifth Avenue Presby- terian church in New York. He was in- stalled as pastor there in November. 1867.
 Dr. Hall was for many years the most notable divine of his denomination in this country. He was often referred to as the Presbyterian bishop of New York, and his position in the com munity. not only as a clergyman, but as social parsonage, gave point to the saying. He was conservative in his att titude on theological questions and new CT lost his friends even when the war between the sections in the church was at It's highest. This was characteristic of the man. for he was a strenuous be- liever in charity to all. In presbytery and general assembly he always favor ed a policy of conciliation.
 Dr. Hall was powerful preacher. al- though he had few of the graces of the

Soldier. For Garrison Duty In Cub.

 Within two weeks orders will be is- sued for the movement to Cuba of the first 10000 of the permanent garrison. and it is the expectation now that they will sail from the United States about Oct 10. These troops will be followed quickly by others until the entire force of 10000 has been established on the island.

NyiH Welcome the Cuban Leader to
 the City of Santiago.

Santiago, Sept. 21.-Calixto Garcia ar
 rived at Jiguani yesterday on his way
 to Santiago. He will probably go from
 here to the United States, where his
 daughter is i'll. He is expected here to- morrow.
 General Lawton intends to receive
 General Garcia as an honored guest. As he now holds no official position in
 the Cuban army he will be treated by the American commander as a dlstin- guished private citizen and a great sol dier.
 General Wood will go to the outside limits of the town to welcome the Cu- l ban leader, and a guard of honor will
 meet him and escort him through the town to the palace, where he will be re-
 ceived by General Lawton. A levee will be held, at which the various American officials will be presented to Garcia. General Lawton said yesterday after ! noon:
 "Our reception to General Garcia will , be in his private capacity and not as an officer of the Cuban army. The inten- tion is to show a mark of honor to his j character as a man and a soldier, not as | a general in the Cuban army" The Cubans in the town, who are also q | contrasting General Lawtons actions | with General Shafter's.

Of course there will be, a little trouble. but we will deal stern handed with offenses against public order. and time, I be- lieve. will solve all matters.
