First Baptist Church Peace Service.


 pr. E. A Woods presided at a peace ser vice in the First Baptist Church last night Captain Schliemann of the Twen-. tieth Kansas Regiment delivered the first address of the evening. Af ter giving thanks for the peace which had come over the land he referred to the brilliant achievement of Admiral Dewey. God has given this great victory to these glorious United States he said, and it Is for us to make the best use of it. Chivalry, that most beautiful precept which actuates the heart of man, has been well exemplified In the American na- tion, although I note with sorrow it's de- cadence in Spain. We have seen a coun- pie and say. We do not want your terri tory nor your money, but this inhumanity must cease Spain had never learned the lesson of humanity until we taught 1t to her, and I say there must be peace in Cuba if we have to whip her again to get It. This example of the United States will make forever impossible the atrocities which have been cornftted by Spain in her empire. Whatever new lands we may ac- Quire we must see to 1t that the Prince of Peace shall dwell there, for there can be no true peace until righteousness is es- tablished on this earth. Our mission must be to do away with oppression on those islands and to give them self government The natives shall not only be free physic- ally but spiritually"
 Chaplain Leland of the Tennessee regi- ment and Private J. B. Creighton of the New York Volunteers also addressed the congregation in similar vein.

The Fender Saved Her Life.

Freda Hahnn, a tiny maiden, years of age. narrowly escaped being ground to death beneath the wheels of an electric car of the Sutro line yesterday afternoon. The car left it's terminus shortly after 5 o'clock. and was on it's way toward the transfer point at Sutter street, and had reached Fourth avenue when the accident occurred. The child ran onto the car track at that point, and apparently the changing of the car gong bewildered her. She turned first one way and then the other in her endeavor to escape, and then ii was too late. H. W. Williams. the mo- tor-man, saw that his car would surely strike the chic and he rapidly reversed the current and dropped the fender. The car stopped within a distance of about fifteen feet. but the little girl had dis appeared beneath It. The motorman. con- ductor and score of frightened passen- gers sprang ofr expecting that 1t would he their misfortune to have to drag a little lifeless form from beneath the wheels: but all were mistaken. The fen der had done its work we'll. and the child was lyipe- across 1t. badly bruised but far from fatally injured. She was picked up and carried to the offices of pr. Cleary, where her injuries were dressed. She was then taken to the home of her parents. No one was to blame for the unfortunate ac- CideQt.

home, and he laughed and said, Oh, next month, 1 guess. But she didn't come, and month after month went by with the same statement from MT. Cunning. Whatever the difficulty was between hus- band and wife, 1t was evidently patched Mrs. Dunning, dated July 15 of this year, in which she speaks happily of her hus- bands expected return from Porto Rico, ing with him in New York. She stated that he had been offered good position on New Yorw paper and would accept it.
 Please say for me that do not believe a word of the story that Cunning was at- ttentivee to Mrs. Corbaley. as might have been inferred from a recent publication of the Examiner. I have known Mrs. Corbaley for years and the idea is pre- posterous. Mrs. Corbaley never attended the races. She never went out with Dun Cummings for a long time. which ac- counts for the fact that when her young est son, J. C. Corbaley, was seriously in- jured in an explosion in San Francisco three years ago he asked to have MT. Cunning notified. As Mrs. Corbaley was out of town Cunning had the boy taken 10 ms own house. saying to MT; Good cumstances. When Mrs. Corbaley ar rived the next day she, of course, came to minister to the son. The latter was sick for three months at the Cunning home: Some evil-minded busy-bodies may have made remarks, but there was nothing in Mrs. Dunning'S conversation to indicate that she was displeased. My theory of the case is that the person who sent the poisoned candy to Mrs. Dun ming knew of the friendship existing be- through statements made by Cunning himself, and that the poisoner took ad- vantage of this knowledge when mark, ing the candy From Mrs. C." to lead Mrs. Cunning to suppose that Mrs. Cor bailey sent it. I know nearly all of the former friends of Mrs. Cunning and many of those of her husband, but none mystery"

A GREAT RUN.
Olympic Cyclers Enjoy Their Annual
 Outing at Uncle Toms Cabin.


 The Olympic Cyclers reyeled In a days outing yesterday and the hundred partici- pants were unanimous in pronouncing 1t the most enjoyable run In the history of the club Starting at g o'clock under the leadership of Captain Shay, the riders left the club building at fast clip. which was sustained until they reached the scene of jollity Uncle Toms Cabin. Those who did not accompany the bikers went down on the train to San Bruno and were driven over to the Cabin in teams.
 Once at the resort the fun began. Bicy- cle races of an impromptu order, baseball games and general athletics engaged the attention of all until noon, when an elab- crate lunch was spread on the verandas of the club house. In the afternoon an entertainment was furnished by the. com edians of the club. Bob Mitchell did his portion of the work and Ed Holland was a close second An orchestra producing every variety of musical composition and a quartet of exceptional vocal ability were the features of the afternoons entertain ment, which ended in time for the cyclers to return to the city at a seasonable hour. Another social run will be held by the cy- clers in the near future, with the resting place somewhere in the far end of Marin County.

4 Revolver Duel on Streets Of Waco.

DALLAS, Ten. April Ia special
to the Noes from Waco, Texas, says:
In the midst of busy preparations for
city election meetings, W. G.. Brann.
editor OF the LcomoriaSt. and Capt.
M. L. Davis met and fought a revolver
duel. The combatants met or South
Fourth street, in front of the Cotton
Belt ticket office, and, after exchang.
ing a few words, began cmptying their
revolvcrs into each others BODY.
When the battle was over Brann was
found to be perforated in the left lung,
the left leg and the right foot. Davis
was shot through the right lung and
through both of his arms. The sur
gcons say both men are likely 20 die.
The difficulty between the two men
grew out Of the Brann-Bayior fcud Of
last year.
Capt. Davis daughters arc pupils of
Baylor university and the references
made in the IoMociu~i to Baylor,
which were generally construed to
mean reflections on the moral charac-
ter of the pupils and faculty brought
forth from Capt. Davis Il Recommendations
Of Brann.
Capt. Davis is the chairman Of one
OF the city campaign committees.
Brann was an advocate Of the candi-
date Capt. Davis was. seeking to de-
feat, and that state Of affairs contribu-
ted i'll no small extent to the meeting.
This afternoon Brann and his bust
ness manager. W. II. Ward. passed
Capt. Davis Office. The captain was
standing at the door. The words that
passed between them were terms of re
proach and they lost no time in get
ting out their weapons. About 10
seconds were occupied in the shooting.
Ward was also shot through the right
hand. A wild bullet hit motorman
Kennedy in the knee. Another wild
bullet hit Eugene Kcplcr in the foot.
Kcplcr and his partner, Prince, are
touring the world on a wager and had
just reached Waco.
Both men are bleeding internally
and arc faint. al late hour thcy

Bryan Says the Time Has Come.

LINCOLN, NEn., March 3l.-Thc
Hon. W. j. Bryan tonight made the
following statement for the Associated
Press in answer to the question whcth..
or in his Judgment the time had arriv-
ed fer The Tilted States 10 intervene
in behalf Of Cuba and bring the war to
an end:
eyes. the time for intervention has
arrived. Humanity demands that we
shall act. Cuba lies almost within
sight Of our shores and the suffcrings
of her people cannot be ignored, un-
less VIC as a nation have become SO
engrossed in moncy-making as to be
Indifferent to distress.
"lntervcntion may be accompanied
by danger and expense. but existence
cannot be separated from responsible
ty and some times leads a nation as
we'll as an individual into danger. A
%ncighbOr must sometimes incur danger
for a ncighbor, and Il friend for a
friend.
War is a terrible thing and cannot
be defended except as a means to ar
end, and yet it is sometimes the only
mean by which a necessary end can
be secured. The State Furnishes its
W. citizens by Imprisonment or even
death when counsel and persuasion
fail. Wa is the final arbitrator be-
tween nations when reason and diplo-
macy arc of no avail.
Spain might not resist intcrven-
ton; it is to be hoped that she will
recognize the right of the United
States to act and Immediately with
draw from Cuba, but whether she re-
scnts intervention or not, the United
States must perform a plain duty.
Spain has only herself to blame
for the condition of affairs i'll Cuba.
If she denied to her former subjects
the rights Of war and calls the Cuban
army Il mob, let her remember the
words of Victor Hugo: The mob is
the human race III misery No ma
tion can afford to make it's people mis-
cradle.
IF the Cubans prefer death to
Spanish rule it must be because Span
ish rule has robbed life of JOY and
hope. Ii nation sows the wind it
must reap the whirlwind.'

Chinese diplomats sent to- Washington
considered themselves exiles in a land
of barbarians. The way in which hood
lums in various parts of the country
have treated unonending Chinese.
moreover, gave our Oriental guests
some excuse for thinking us barbarians.
Nowadays this attitude is gradually
changing. Mr.. Wu seems to think that
some American ideas are worth study
ing and carrying home TO his country
men, He has never seen fit to discard
his national dress; but when the COM
parative comforts of Chinese and Amer
lean garments are considered, there
really seems very small reason for his
doing so. On the other hand, the Chi
nese character, religion, and govern
ment are receiving intelligent attention
and study from many Americans. In
fact. tie nations of the earth seem TO
be passing from state of mutual hos
tility and contempt to one of mutual
respect
This condition of things has been
brought about by two or three different
causes. Perhaps the Chicago Fair of
1898. with its parliament of religions
did as much as anything to crystalline
and define the idea of tolerance. The
influences of commerce. of cheap trans
portation, and easy communication. of
broadening social and religious thought
in the West, had all been at work
for years. The great Chicago Fair
expressed and defined the thought
which seems 10 have been given to
the world in the nineteenth CEN
tury to be worked out in the TWEEN
tieth-that each race, each nation, each
civilization. has something in it which
is worth our study something which is
or has been of use to the world. Grad
ually the great men of all nations are
voicing this thought, and with II the
companion thought that all nations
must join in the forwarding of the ideal
civilization-the civilization of justice,
of intelligence, of democracy, of hu-
manity.
