THE SUPPER OF OUR LORD
ITS OBLIGATIONS and SIGNIFI-
CANOE EXPLAINED
BY Rev. j. IL. Thomas-An Ordinance
be Set Aside or Improved by His Ser

The Rev. DIR. j. B. Thomas Of New
ton Theological institute occupied the
pulpit at the Calvary Baptist church
yesterday morning. The topic on which
he spoke was 1.-THE Lords Supper; It's
Obligations and Significance. His SER
mon was most interesting, delivered in
a the mastery way Of one who under
stands thoroughly of what he is speak
ing and was listened to attentively by
a large congregation.
He selected as his text the Cornth-
ians, chapter II, verse "a. This do in
remembrance Of Me-" 1.-THE Lords
supper was an ordinance" the speaker
said, "a thing to be done by divine COM
mand. This do. The gospel was to
be propagated by the written word, by
the lips and testimony of believers,
but also by visible rights. The essence
Of obedience in such a case is exact con-
formity. 1t is not for the servant to
set aside or to attempt to improve an
explicit command Of the Master. The
ordinance cannot be evaporated as the
Friends or Quakers incline to do nor
discontinued on the ground that we
have outgrown 1t, for it Is expressly

substituted the two simple ordinances,
baptism and the Lords supper, for the
complex and endless ritual of Judaism.
Their reduction to such simplicity is
strange reason for ignoring or chang
ing them. Since every command pre-
sumptively was with the purpose,
known to the legislature, he who ven-
lures to modify it must needs assume
to be wiser than Him. He that reprov-
eth God, let him answer it, 1t Is sin
gular that while some of Christ's de-
ciples seek very punctiliously to pre-
serve the Lords supper intact, they
are absolutely indifferent as to its par
allel ordinance. They will not consent,
for instance, to the use of unfermented
wine in the one case, although the
scripture scdulously avoids emphasizing

least intimation that at some points the
Americans were not as successful as at
others. II is inferred here that this
might mean the development Of weak
on the American lines which might cas-
lily be explained by the fact that the
attack was made at night perhaps in
places where the insurgents could creep
close up to the shelter of the tropical
jungle that grows nearly into the town
OF Manila. Every confidence, however,
is felt that General Otis is master Of the
situation. This confidence is based not
only on this mornings cablegram, but
from repeated assurances to that effect,
conveyed by General Otis to Washing

few months.

Honesty in Base Ball.

Philadelphia Press.
Honesty in base ball was called in ques
ton a few days ago by an article in the
Chicago Times. Herald'' commenting or
some games recently played iii that city
1t was inferentially claimed that tie Local
club WAS allowed to win over the Brooklyn
C'nb in the Friday and Saturday games il
order to draw urge crowd to the gams
on Sunday in hope of seeing another vic
tory for Chicago. But the crowd having
been drawn the Sunday game wss allowed
to 90 by default This, it was asserted
was chase bail for gate money"
This statement has called out a good
deal Of comment, favorable and unfavora-
ble. Among others President Hart of the
Chicago Base Ball Club, in en- interview
priaed in the ''Times- Herald" says: "If
you stop to think q moment, taking for
granted that anyone desired 10 "fX' a
game, you can see how utterly impossible
it would be to carry out any such plan.
In The fret place, there would have to be
q perfect understanding between the man.
agement and the players. All the players
would have to be in the deal, and from
the nature of the transaction it would
have to be treated as confidential. The
public, l think, knows something about
how released players especially, as a gen.
eral rule, keep silent. Why, such a crook
ed transaction couldn't be kept secret for
twenty-four hours, and when it was out
the reputation of every man would be
blasted for life"
President Hurts statement does not
fully cover the ground. All the players
would not need to be in the deal" One
player alone could "throw" game, and
knowing that his reputation was at stake
would be inclined to keep silent. Mr..
Hart practically admits this when he says
that There may be case Of individual
crookedness here and there" His
statement is strengthened, however,
when he points out the certainty of de-
tecting any combination to throw"
games. He says: ga case in point is
that of the players in 1877. The play
ers in question, who were Devlin, Hall,
Crane and Nichols, of the Louisville
Club, tried TO influence the outcome of
game Of games by crooked work.
They we're detected, blaclzlisted by the
league in which they were playing, and
after that they were never able to find en-
ployment at their profession. They were
ehunned by players and managers alike,
and from that day to this have never been
permitted to play with or against league
player, Notwithstanding that they have
pleaded almost on Bonded knees for
forgiveness"
The fact that in over twenty-one years
no instance of cheating in base ball has
been discovered is strong proof of the hon.
esty of the game. The public would be
shocked to know that there was dishon-
esty among the players. No game has
taken hold of the American public as base
ball. In spite of poor playing and many
unaccountable defeats it still retains much
of its popularity. But it could not keep
this for day if it were believed that it is
dishonesty con Iucted. Taking all things
into consideration it cannot be claimed
that there is any tangible proof of dishon-

A STRANGE AFFECTION:
II Crops Out Amongst Society Ladies'
Who Have the Five O'Clock

There is a nervous disease-the re-
suit of the FIVE o'clock tea habit-which
afilicts many women, says the New
York Herlad. Said one bright woman,
lately:

trouble with my cups of tea. lput them
down half emptied to greet some new
arrival, to find them whisked away, and
each one repeats the history of its pre-
decessor.

trail of unfinished phrases and IN
drunk cups of tea behind me. l go

of mind, with a tendency to leave Off

of five-o'clock-tea paralysis. Just lis
ten at any of these receptions and you
will agree with me. The women talk In
spasmodic, staccato gasps. You never
get the point of a story or the telling
point of biography. Everyone has her
eve on the door for the new arrival, who
may prove more interesting or desira-
BILE than the one she is talking to.
"'Pardon me- seems to be the excuse
for every form of conversational rude
ness. I believe this form of nervous
ness is one of the many symptoms Of
the national unrest, or lack of poise,
of which foreigners so bitterly COM

that county

We have submitted this ballot to sew
eral intelligent Democrats and they were
not only shocked by it. but declared that
they would he unable to mark it go as to
vote inteIligently. a very similar ballot
was used in Washington county at the re-
cent election for county officers. These
ballots were printed under the supervi-
sion of the Democratic electoral boards of
Scott and Washington counties. Their
purpose is too evident to make it nects-
sary to point out the reason. These out
rigorous ballots are thelegitimate outcome
of the training of the Rhea machine.
One was used in Rhea's own county,
the other in the county that is under
the supervision of Cox, the man
who gained much notoriety last year by a
letter he addressed to the election officers
of his county.
The question is how long will the peo'
pie stand the outrages of these fellows?
And we may inquire how long will honest
Democrats continue TO deny that frauds
are practiced in the Ninth District

Bryan in Tammany Hall.
Philadelphia Pres"

Boss Croker is not well served by his
lieutenanls in Tammany Hall or meeting
called to launch Judge Van Wyck's Pres
idential boom would never have been
stampeded into wild hurrah for Bryan
and free silver. The speeches had been
revised and some of them severely edited
in the Van Wyck interest, but it proved
useless precauiion, since the guard was
not maintained at every point. One
scheduled speaker failed and a substitute
appeared in the person Of Ex-Governor
Hogg, of Texas. No one edited the Tex
ans speech. That duty was neglected By
the particular sachem charged with this
business, and so the Ex-Governor was free
to 20 the whole Hogg. lie made no NEIL
ton of Van WICK, but evoked the widest
enthusiasm of pit and gallery by declaring
for William j. Bryan and free silver coin
age at 10 to l.
Next year in national convention, ac-
cording to Ex-Governor Iogg, Of Texas,
the Democratic party will declare
For the unlimited free coinage of silver
and gold on an equality at the Govern
ment mints at the ratio Of l6 to /.
We will declare against the English gold
standard, which American iiunkyism Las
fastened upon this Government,
In this great contest we want the aid Of
united Tanmany-the greatest local polii-
ical organization on earth. We want you
to close up ranks, to settle your local DIFF
ferences, if they exist, and TO 20 arm in
arm with the stalwart breadmakers of the
South and West to victory next year under
the leadership of the chivalrous, the
dauntless, the matchless great American
William Jennings 3ryan.
This declaration was followed by an ex-
ploson of applause such as has not been
heard in Tammany Hall for years. Men
and women leaped to their feet and then
mounting chairs shook the building with
their shouts for Bryan. The Tammany
leaders turned pale and the Van Wyck
boom received shock that it will never
recover from. It. is an entirely artificial
boom, with nothing behind it but the will
and power of Croker. Bryan and free
silver still hold the heart of the Demo
cratic masses. Other issues may be labo-
riously interjected into the canvass, but
the name of Bryan is irresistible in Tam
many Hall and omnipotent in all Demo
cratic councils elsewhere.
1t is manifest that the main issue of
1896 will be brought up for reargument
and reconsideration next year. The Dem
ocratic masses will not he satisfied until
the judgment rendered by the people
three years ago has been reafiirmed.

Lexington, Ky, Dispatch Chicago "Time'
Herald"
If America had never done anything
worthy of remembrance except present.
ing Dewey TO mankind her reason for be-
ing would be indicated. He is the very
Aower of American chivalry i'll the closing
days of the nineteenth century. If he
blossomed and matured under the cold
light Of the North. Star, he has no more
ardent admirers than those who dwell be-
meath the Southern cross. He belongs to
the whole country, as he wrought and
conquered for the whole country.
OF the good things done by the Fifty
fifth Congress perhaps the best thing was
making Dewey an admiral, to be retired
only on his own request. The feryent
hope Of all Americans is that he may live
forever and be ranking Admiral all the
time. In far-reaching consequences his
victory at Manila ranks with the skirmish
at Concord, and Lexington, with the Dec
laration of Independence, the adoption OF
the Constitution and Washington's inaug-
uration. As the mighty friedrich said of
his i!lustrious father, the great elector, SO
it may be said of Dewey with equal truth :
This man did great things"
If had my way about it every calen-
dar and almanac printed in this country
henceforth and forever, March s, 1898,
would appear in blood-red characters as
date worthy Of our most greatful remem-
berance. That was the day when our
great Civil War really closed and when the
Spanish war, one of the most righteous Of
modern times, began. That day the House
of Observation-Disclosures, Republi-
cans, Populists, without man missing
performed the most gigantic piece of con-
fdence seen among men since the world
began by placing in the hands OF President
Mckinley, without condition and without
reserve, $50, 100000
As Democrat of Democrats, am hap
Ply in the belief that President Mckinley
did not abuse that confidence SO freely be-
slowed. As an American l am proud to
think that no man ever did or ever will
hold that high position who would betray
such sacred trust.
If it did no other good, the Spanish war
made us once mere united people unit
Ell in fact as well as in name. This alone
was worth all the cost of blood and tears
and treasure. But it did more. 1t taught
foreign nations n potent fact, which we
knew before, that while we have fought
each other viciously and ferociously on
economic questions and will continue to
do so, when we are engaged with for
eign foe our contentious cease at low water
mark. Beyond that We are Americans and
Americans only, ready with united and
uuquailing hearts to confront world in
arms.
Is there between the Atlantic and Pacific
a Republican with soul so small as to
withhold his full measure of glory from
Hobson because he is an Alabama Demo
crat? Ifso he is unworthy of American
citizenship. Within the broad confines of

crat so base as to wish to deprive Cononel

lor because he is New York Republican?
If so dlsclaim him as my countryman.
