Religious services were held today in

central portion of the church audito-
rum was reserved for Odd Fellows and
their ladies' several hundred of whom
arrived from headquarters by special
trolley train. Rev. Nehemiah Boyn-
ton, D. D., pastor of the church,
preached upon brotherhood" The
speaker defined the various kinds Of
brotherhood, family fellowship, second
ly of a particular class, and finally the
enlarged idea of brotherhood as exem-
plified by Jesus Christ, who brought

all men to him being brethren, ire

Jesus said the speaker, looked be-
meath mems varied defects and found
therein his brother man, for whom he
offered his very life. You can only
carry your brotherhood through the
world in proportion to the brotherhood
which exists within your own souls. 1t
is not enough to send your check. 1t
is more in the open palm behind which

DR.. Boynton declared that the assur

showed that the principle and spirit of
brotherhood is nowadays finding an in

AGREE TO ARBITRATION.

Pretoria, Sept. 1.-THE reply of the
government of the South African re-
public to the last dispatch, dated Sept
y, from the British government, after
acknowledging the receipt of the Brit
ish note, proceeds in part as follows:
THE government deeply regrets the
withdrawal as the government under
stands it, and the substitution in place
thereof of an entirely new proposal.
THE proposals now contained in the
Transvaal dispatch of Aug. 10 and Aug.
q were ELECTED from the government by
suggestions made by the British dip
lomatic agent in Pretoria (Conyngham
Greene) to the Transvaal state secre-
tary Of. W. ReitZ), suggestions which
this government acted upon in good
faith, and after specially ascertaining
whether they would be likely to prove
acceptable to the British government.
This government had by no means any
intention to raise again needlessly the
question of it's special status but act
ed with the sole object of endeavoring
by the aid of the local British agent, to
put an end to the strained condition of
affairs
This was done in the shape of a
proposal which this government deems,
both as regards its spirit and form, to
be so worded as, relying upon intima-
lions to this government, would satisfy
her majestys government. This gov
eminent saw a difficulty as to the ac-
ceptance of those proposals by the peo-
pie and Legislature of the TransVaal,
and also contemplated possible dangers
connected Herewith. but risked maxi
ing them on account of a sincere desire
to secure peace and because assured by
Mr.. Chamberlain that such proposals
would not be deemed a refusal of his
proposals, but would be settled on their
merits.
1.-THE Transvaal government cannot
understand why such commission.
which before was deemed necessary to
explain the complicated details of the
seven years law, should now be deemed
unnecessary, and why it should now.
without such inquiry, be thought to de-
clare this law inadequate
Further, there must be misappre-
hension of it, assumed that this gov
eminent was prepared to lay proposal Is
for a five years franchise and a quarter
representation Of the new population
before the volksraad in unconditional
acceptance. AS to the language this
government never made any offer such
as is referred to, considering. as it did,
such measure both unnecessary and
undesirable.
"The proposed conference, as distinct
from the Joint commission of inquiry,
this government is likewise not unwill-
ing to enter upon; but the difficulty
Is that an acceptance thereof is made
dependent upon the acceptance on the
side Of the Transvaal Of precedent con-
ditions. which this government does not
feel at liberty to submit to the volks-
raad, and, moreover, the subjects to be
discussed at the conference remain un-
defined.
This government ardenty desires
and gladly accents arbitration. as its

London, Sept. 1.-THE Morning Post
says; THE Beers mean to fight That

The Standard says: '"The Transvaal
note is unsatisfactory and, indeed, a
dangerous composition. 1t might be go
ing too far to say that the last hope of
peace has vanished or that diplomacy
has reached its final stage, but it is idle
that the rulers of the Transvaal have
brought their country very close to the
brink of disaster which the British
government has done its best to avert"
The Daily Mail says: president
Kruger's defiance has terminated a long
period of unrest and uncertainty in
South Africa; for whatever may be the
issue of the present situation, one thing
| is certain, that dualism in South Africa
will end forever"

AN EVERY-NIGHT SCENE IN FRONT
OF THE cDV OEEVCE

Strangers in Worcester proceeding up
Front street any night between : and
IL o'clock inevitably inquire of police
men or citizens if there is an election
or big celebration in the city. They
get this impression from the fact that
nightly a crowd of 1000 people on an av-
eraGe are gathered on the city hall pla-
"a, opposite The Spy building, cheering
Justify.
But as the stranger reaches Harring
ton corner he needs no explanation. for
there is spread before his eyes a full
diagram of the mystery. On roof fac
ing the crowd the Worcester Biograph
company maintains a bulletin, on which
are thrown not only the announcements
of merchants but moving pictures OF
stirring events. The life portrayal of
these scenes and the up-to-date char
acter of the Spy bulletins that are
thrown on the screen, keep the crowd
intact from the sending out of the first
picture, until there comes the final
good night"
It's the liveliest place in the city, and
there is d perceptible increase in the
size of the crowd night after night.
