or is fiction, as is also true of the Book
of Job, but it makes little difference
with regard to the truths taught by
either book. He said he is inclined to
think that it is part fiction and part
historical.
In commenting on the story of Wash
tbs disfavor in the eyes Of King
AhaSuerus, DR.. Mcfarland spoke at
length on the divorce question. He said
there is an alarming laxity in the pop
ular mind concerning the sacredness
and the binding character Of the mar
rtage contract. This IS evidenced by
the rapid increase in the number of di-
vOrces granted by the divorce courts.
The inconsiderateness and recklessness
with which many men abandon their
wives whom they are pledged to sup
port is appalling Homes are wrecked
because one or the other of the parties
desire to remarry. mo man or woman
who is divorced on other than scriptur-
al ground" said DR.. Mcfarland, ''and
who then remarries, ought to be re-
ceived into polite society. Petitions are
signed ana sent to congress protesting
against the seating a pOlygamist in
that body, and yet society countenances
men who are guilty of conservative
polygamy' right along. While they do
not have more than one wife at the
same time, in the eyes of the law, they
have one wife after another. putting
them away for little or no cause what
ever. Such people should not be recog-
nized as respectable, or received into
should ever knowingly unite in mar
riage people who had been divorced in
such a manner.
mo fee said DR.. Mcfarland, would
ever be great enough to tempt me to
touch the hand of a man, who had
been divorced on other than Scriptural
ground in uniting him in marriage With
another woman"
DR.. Mcfarland leaves this afternoon
to spend the next ten days in attending
Epworth League conferences. He will
go first to Lincoln, Neb., where the
Leaguers of Nebraska are holding a
state conference. From there he will
go to Lincoln park, near Downs Kan,
where the Northwest Kansas Epworth

go from Downs to Bonner Springs and

THE SUNS NEW MEN
sidetracked by Strikers and Refuse to

New York, Aug. "A new phase was
injected into the controversy between
the printers and the management of the
Sun this morning by the arrival here of

phia with 104 non-uniOn men in charge
of Charles William Edwards, the Sun s
superintendent of printing. Only nine
Of this number of the arrivals went to
work, and working for less than one
hour five of these Joined the ranks of
the strikers.
On board the Endeavor was a printer
who had gone from this city as an en-
Tnissary of the strikers. He spent the
time on the trip to this city in explain
ing the situation to the non-unton men,
the majority of whom decided not to
fulfill their contract with Mr.. Edwards.
North river, the nom union men were
landed and as they started up Broad
way to the Sun office they were Joined
by a committee of strikers. Before the
office of the Sun was reached ninety
five of the nOn-union men dropped out
of the line, and they were escorted to
the rooms of the Press Wheel club,
President Delaney, of Topographic
Union No. 6. They were afterwards
escorted to the headquarters of the un-
ion, where they were cordially greeted.
According to the strikers figures
there were twenty composftors at work

GOT THE WRONG CHURCH.
Pastor Waits Until the President
Arrives.

PIattsburg, N. Y. Aug president
Mckinley, accompanied by Secretary
Cortelyou, attended church yesterday
morning driving up from the Hotel
Champlain. Although the man who
drove had lived in Plattsburg all his
life, he drove the party to the Presby-
terian church instead of the Methodist
church, making the president about
fifteen minutes late. The pastor of the
church, however, delayed services un-
til the arrival of the president. When
he entered the church, the entire con-
gregation arose and remained standing
until he had been seated. Bishop Good
sell, of Tennessee, preached the ser
mon, taking his text from st. John
tx SO.
DR.. Joel w. Eaton, presiding elder of
the Champlain district of the Troy con-
ference, in his prayer asked that the
blessing of God might rest upon the
president of the United States, and
through us the uncivilized lands might
be lifted up

gregation remained standing until the
president had reached the street

which was a door leading to the room
in which Dreyfus was awaiting the
summons Almost everybody but the
most prominent officers stood on thelr
feet, some mounted benches to obtain
a better view. There were subdued
cries of ''sit down" amid which the
door opened and Captain Alfred Drey-
fus, preceded and followed by a gen.
darme, emerged into the court room
His features were deathly pale and his
teeth We're set with a. determined but
not defiant bearing. He walked quickly
with almost an elastic step and as
cended the three steps leading to the
platform in front of the judges. There
he drew himself up erect, brought his
right hand sharply to the peak of his
KEPT, or military cap, giving the military
salute, showing that years Of incarcera-
ton on Devils Island and the terrible
anguish of body and mind had not i'm
paired his soldierly instinct and bearing.
The prisoner then removed his kept and
took the seat presented for him, facing
his judges, just in front of his counsel's
table and with his back to the audience.
Behind him sat a gendarme holding
sheathed sabre in his hand.
Dreyfus in a new uniform of captain
of artillery, dark blue with red facings
fiXedly regarded the judges with i'm
movable features and without stirring
hand or foot, scarcely even moving his
head during the whole proceedings, ex-
cept when he entered and left the room.
After the formal proceedings which oc-
cupied a couple of hours, Colonel Jou-
aust began the examination ofsDreyfus,
respecting the famous bordereau, and
what Dreyfus did with, or could have
known of its contents
EXAMINATION BEGINS.
When Dreyfus, wearing eye glasses,
rose from his seat for examination he
stood erect, holding his keys liz his hand
before him. He looked Colonel Jouaust
in the face during the whole interroga-
tory.
Colonel Jouaust began by saying:

MRS. THORPE'S WARMING.
Boys end Men Entice Nice Girls to
Rooms.

The following letter from Police Ma
tron E. L. Thorpe was read this morning
at the meeting of the Ministerial union:
ITO the Ministerial Union:
"A certain matter is troubling me and
I ask your help. I am where all the
blackness and enormity of evil presents
itself every day, and 1 cannot do much
''The matter is this: There is a 1aw-
lessness and degeneration of all the prin-
cfples of integrity, and actual morality
among the children both boys and girls,
that is simply alarming. 1t is growing
at a fearful rate. Young boys and young
men are forming clubs and renting rooms
They ask young girls to go to walk in the
evening and take them to these rooms
for cards ana beer parties and worse.
Il am plain because the, matter is too:
serious for platitudes. These boys. too.
young and ignorant to have discretion, are
insolently familiar with nice young girls
who are too young and too ignorant to
know the sin and Improperly: | can To-
cate at least two of these clubs. >.
Mrs. Thorpe said today: I have had
no less than 25 cases reported to Ine in
the past month 1t is not matter that
the police can well regulate, 1t lies with
the parents. Fathers and mothers rely
too much upon their children inheriting
morals In the school rooms and Other
places many of these cases start"

The city council is considering the
question of creating a new officer to be
called inspector of excavations It
will be his duty to inspect all cuts in

street by plumbers and see that they
are properly repaired.
Councilman NetteIs said: "Some of

The city engineer hasn't the time to
look after them and 1 think it would
be economy to have some one to look
after them
The ordinance will be introduced this
evening 1t provides that the pay Of
the new official shall be $50 a month 1t
provides that the plumbers shall pay
fee of rs cents for each permit issued
to them and this will pay the salary Of
the INSPECTOR
