preacher to repeat the commonplace Of
his people in snowy form 80 that the
man in the street goes home congrat
ulating himself because he has heard
his paltry ideas tricked out in snowy
dress. 1t is the function of the prophet
to lead his flock onward, even though
the march be sometimes through the
wilderness, and they ought to follow
close behind him and tell him that they
are there, and that they will not cease
to follow till he has brought them into
the fullness of the Land of Promise.
Under those conditions man will feel
bound to read the best books and to
think out every subject to its very
heart; he will grudge no labor of brain,
no emotion of soul to meet the expec-
tation of thoughtful, broad minded
people, and If he come at last to be q
leader of thought whose words fly far
and wide, then to this congregation
will the credit be due who believed in
him, and demanded great things of
him, and made of him more than he,
in his most ambitious moment, could
have imagined"

HARRISON SNUBS ALTGELD.

ChicnGo's Mayor Refuses to Represent
an "Obscure'' Committee.
Chicago. July 18-Mayor Carter H.
Harrison yesterday sent letter to the
committee in charge of arrangements
for the Democratic meeting at the
Auditorium July 20, in which he de-
clines to deliver an address of well
come. He says: "In ordinary cir
cumstances ! should be only too glad.
both as mayor of Chicago and as
Democrat, to welcome the national
committee or any number OF proml-
nent Democrats TO Chicago, but 1t
would be an ahsurdity TO welcomethese
distinguished men under the auspices
of a self constituted committee whose
personnel is too obscure to be known
even in its home city. Had this meet
ing been organized under the direction
| of Democrats of regular type and
known party standing 1t would have
afforded me great pleasure to be pres
ent."
When a copy Of Mayor Harrison's
letter was shown Ex-Governor Altgeld
the latter said: 81 am sorry the mayor
looks at it that way He has made a
grave mistake. He has lost a golden
opportunity. Should he come to the
meeting and make a rousing Demo
cratic speech he would place himself
at the head of the Democratic party IN
the state. But he lost the chance now
When Mr.. w. F, Cooling, secretary
of the committee, read the mayors

, young man In the city hall the op
, portunity of his life, which he ha
T. failed TO appreciate. The son of Car
ter Harrison has now ceased to be

T. A. B. SOCIETY.
An Interesting Session Mt Mt. Carmel and
Large Gathering.

Large Gathering.
Mt Carmel. July 1s.-The twelfth quart
orly convention Of the Father Matthew Cath
olic Total Abstinence Union Of the Middle
Anthracite Coal Region was held here and
was largely attended. The reports read
were very interesting and showed that the
Union was making rapid headway.
President r. j. Brennan, Of Centralia.
called the meeting TO order. The sessions
were held in the T. A. b Hall. Rev. Father
Meuwese, pastor Of the Church Of our Lady,
made the address Of welcome and gave an
interesting talk on temperance. He gave
the members of the union much good advice
and plainly pointed out the evils Of intem-
perance in a manner that could not but inn
press those who listened to him. He wss
followed by Attorney Flynn. Of Centrslia
who gave an interesting talk. Mr.. Flynn is
an able speaker and his words were listened
TO with interest.
Ten societies were represented at the con-
vention and fully one hundred strangers were
present. The Mt Carmel cadets and the
ladies Of Lost Creek were not represented,
they being the only two societies not in at
tendance. Recently the Shamokin society
and the Pioneers of Girrdville dropped from
the Union and it was decided at this meeting
to make an effort to have them return. 1t is
likely that they will be represented at the
next convention.
The next convention will be held at
Centralia on Tuesday. the 10th day Of Octo-
ber, which is the birthday of Father
Matthew, the promulgator of temperance
and after whom the societies assembled here
took their name. 1t will also be the 5Oth
anniversary of the organization Of the T. A.
B. Society in the United States. 1t is ex-
pected that hundreds will visit Centralia on
that day.
The hall was handsomely decorated by the
members of the local organizations for the
| convention and presented beautiful sp-
pearance. Immediately after adjournment
at six o'clock the guests were escorted to the
first floor, where the ladies Of the Union had
prepared an excellent supper. After partak.
ing Of the good things all went to the Church
of Our Lady, where they attended the VespeI
service.
The reports read showed that 500 members
were enrolled in the union and that S465 70
had been paid out for sick benefits during the
last quarter. There was not death in the
union since the last meeting All the
societies are in coed financial standing anC
report that the work is being pushed for
ward with all possible energy and that good
results are crowning their efforts. ]. T.

GEN. MILES
JUDGMENT.
Sustained in a Statement Issued
From Army Headquarters.
RB1NFORoEMENTs FOR MANILA.

whom Admiral Dewey Believed That
Five Thousand Men Could Capture
and Hold tho Philippines Gen. Miles
Urged That FirteenThousand BE sent
Washington, July 1S.-A statement
was prepared at army headquarters
yesterday and given out for publication
containing the correspondence between
General Miles and the war department
regarding the sending Of troops to
Manila. The statement says:
There has been some discussion In
the press recently relating to an al
legged difference of opinion regarding
the number of troops to be sent to
the Philippine islands in the first in
stance.
Immediately upon receiving the
news, through press dispatches, of
Dewey's victory at Manila, General
Miles recommended the dispatch of
military force to the Philippine islands.
In his letter he recommended that Cen
eral Anderson be sent with 5000 men,
including volunteers from California,
Oregon and Washington. This recon-
mendation was endorsed by the presi-
dent, "if approved by the secretary OF
war" on May 4.
Up to this time no communication
had been received from Admiral Dew
| ey, his first dispatch, dated May 1, not
reaching Washington until the 7th.
| In this dispatch Admiral Dewey gave
| his opinion that 5000 men would be
sufficient to capture and control the
Philippine islands. He estimated the
| Spanish force at 10000 men and the
rebel force at 10000.
On May 16, 1898. after seeing the
above dispatch from Admiral Dewey,
General Miles recommended that, "in
order to make the United States force
as strong and effective as possible with
a view to it's maintaining our possess
sion and our flag in the Philippine
islands, and at the same time relieve
our navy as speedily as possible" cer-
tain regiments, aggregating 15,425 men,
be forwarded at once to Manila.
1t was General Miles opinion that,
in view of the admiral's statement that
the Spanish force was estimated at
10000 men, it would be advisable for
us to have a preponderating force.
In the meantime General Merritt
had been selected to command the ex-
pedition for the Philippines, and In a
letter to the president dated May 10,
1898, he submitted an estimate of
troops necessary to constitute such an
expedition comprising 4,400 men, OF
's-1~i~-l -~i.~- q nlo -s-.-t-,- ~
small ordnance detachment.
General Miles had not seen General
Merritt's estimate when he wrote the
letter of May 16.
It thus appears that there was no
controversy regarding the number OF
troops to be sent, General Miles, In
fact, having designated more than
General Merritt called for, but only a
difference of opinion as to the COM
: position of the force, General Merritt
desiring to have more regulars than
: were designated by General Miles.
: Certain newspapers have attempted
: to show that General Miles did moi
want more than 5000 troops to be SEN
to the Philippines under General Mer
+ ritt, but the official correspondence
shows this not to be the fact.
