PRESIDENT AT CHURCH.
Heard a Sermon by Rev. DIR. Dorchester.
He and Mrs. Mckinley and 9th
ers Take Drive.

PITTsBURG, Aug. 2S.-President Nc
Kinley attended Christ Methodist Epis-
copal church yesterday morning.
An immense throng had congregated
on the sward and around the doors Of
the big church nearly two hours before
the president was due to arrive.
By 10 o'clock the terraces about the
building were covered with humanity
and the streets were packed. 1t was
more like crowd waiting for the en-
trance Of a theater to open, though
withal there were lots of women in it.,
and all of them we'll dressed, well bred
people. All looked anxiously in the
direction from whence the presidents
conveyance was to come.
A dozen polickmen kept an aisle open
through which the pewholders were
passed up to the side entrance on Re-
becca street. They were admitted in
vance of the public. The pewholders
more than half filed the church, and
about 10:30 the main entrance doorway,
facing the three avenues, was thrown
=, Zen for the public.
Ahop.t ten minutes after the doors
were opened the presidential party
whisked briskly up the street. The
crowd had thinned out bit, but was
still large. 1t made way for the car
riage. President Mckinley was greeted
in silence. Smiling faces bowed to hi.;IiIi,
hands and handkerchiefs were waved,
but there was no noisy demonstration.
He entered the church from the side
to the right of the main entrance, pass
ing in front of the chancel, and down
the middle aisle. He occupied the pew
of the late Alexander Bradley, located
lust about in the center of the church.
AS he stepped down the aisle there was
a rustic of silk garments, and half the
audience was on its feet to see the
president.
The services were simple, yet ex'
tremely Impressive. The sermon was a
splendid one. The president appeared
intensely interested. He listened with
rapt attention. He was attached to the
logic of the pastor, Rev. DR.. Daniel Dor.
chester, who was at his best. The presi
dent could not have congratulated the
minister more warmly with words thar
| did he by his facial expression during
the discourse. The congregation joined

FINE BREAKFAST SERVED.
New Brighton People Displayed Bounte-
Gus Hospitaltiy-Boys Received
Their Arms There.

NEW BRIGHTON, Pa, Aug. 2S.-The
troop trains reached New Brighton
about 10 o'clock this morning. About
two hours were spent here for breakfast.
The regiment was marched to the
factory of the National Wall Paper
company, where an immense dining
room and kitchen had been fitted up.
The breakfast cost the Beaver valley
people about $4,000.
All the business houses were deco
rated and many private residences as
well. The chief feature of the street
display was q handsome arch, which
had been erected on Third avenue.
1t was illuminated with colored in
candescent lights, end covered with
bunting. On the top are two lifelike
bronze figures of soldiers, in heavy
marching order, standing at "parade
rest" at either corner. A huge eagle
rests just midway between them.
A pretty feature of the Tenth's march
from the train to its breakfast room,
was the novel use of an immense silk
flag which had been made by the ladies.
1t was placed directly over the triumphal
arch on Third avenue, suspended on a
wire which ran to the "Alum Rocks. I"

suddenly opened and thousands of
smaller emblems fiuttered down on the
khaki ranks below.
Hundreds of people were here from
other company towns of the Tenth to
witness their march to breakfast, and
likewise have a word of welcome for
their own boys. The discharged men,
bers of the regiment joined their re-
spective companies at the train. The
regiment alighted at Kenwood station,
where stands OF. arms were handed out
by local committee. These arms had
been under guard in Company BIS
armory, Then the march to the dining
hall began. When ready for the last
stretch of the journey cars were taken
right at the factory. The troop trains
were backed down on the sidings and
loaded at the door.

DUK IN rnern that seemed to hold me
spellbound.
IN. de Mertens is my partner 7
said, haughtily, to the man who had
warned me; and / am surprised that
you should dare to bring such an ac-
cusation against a gentleman whose
reputation is so well known
"The Individual who had called OUT
had never been to the club before and
did not know M. de Mertens at all.
We had all been standing round the
table close to each other. and on see
ing another player put his hand into
my hat. it was very natural that the
man should have thoughtSit his duty
to warn me. On hearing my explana-
tion he apologized most humbly to M
de Mertens, and several of the acquain-
tances of the latter gathered round
and expressed their regret that SUCH
an insult should have been offered
him.
I'VE then continued our play, and
NJ, de Mertens soon left, the club.
Three days passed and heard nothing
more Of the young man. In shielding
him as had done. my first thought
had been of his father. and I had de-.
termined to save from disgrace the
name of the brave soldier Of Magenta.
zone evening, however, Just as 7
was going out to pay some visits my
orderly informed me that lady wish
ed to see me- went into the drawing
room and there / found woman OF
about forty-five years Of age. She was
very dignif1ed looking and there was
an open, honest exrre~ sion about her
face which fascinated me.
"T am Madame de Mertens,' she
said simply. My son told me every
thing about the affair at the club, and
l have come to thank you with all my
heart for having preserved for us in
tact the honor of our name
Madame - began, but she
interrupted me in her emotion and
nervousness.
"'My son had got entangled in var
ious ways, and in desperation had TAX
en- to play. It appears he had lost
every penny he possessed that night
You know the rest, alas!'
IT felt very much embarrassed, for
the poor mothers grief was terrible
to witness. She was standing there in
front of me, her face was deadly pale,
and the tears we're trembling on her
long dark eyelashes.
"'He is young, madame; you must
not take it to heart So stammered.
IT was just moments weakness. I
will see your Son, and
Ono, Captain she said, shaking
her head sadly, he is no longer here.
He has enlisted, and is already on his
way with the regiment /"
We had all been listening attentiveiy !,
to Captain Joubert's story, and when
he stopped speaking there was silence
for few minutes.
"And what happened to M. de Mer-
tens, Captain" asked one of the group.
did you ever hear?"
"He is dead. Six months ago re-
ceived a letter from Kelung-a pitt

pale ink, on sheet of paper that was
all crumpled and yellow with age.
There were only few lines for me to
read. know them by heart. They
were as follows:

Coudert has just brought me the cross; |
but - am dying. am sending
it to you, my poor cross you
saved me, and I should like you to

THE CAPTAINS STORY.

II was Just after the scandal at our
Hub and little group Of us were talk
Ing in a very animated way of the af-
fair. Captain Joubert did not join in
and did not even seem to be listening
to us.
"What will you take for your
thoughts?" I said to him at last.
"Oh, they're not worth much. ! was
thinking just then of an incident
which occurred once at a club In a
small provincial town where ! happen
ed to be staying"
'Tell us about it," exclaimed one OF
the other men, and the captain lighted
cigarette and, putting his elbow on
the mantel shelf against which he had
been leaning, he began his story:
well, it was when I was in garri-
son at NJ, one of the dullest and
most stupid of provincial towns.
when was of duty / gradually
got into the habit of turning in to the
Union club, which, by the bye, was
the only one the town possessed.
There was very little play at this
club, except at the time of the three
annual fairs, each of which lasted a
week. One autumn afternoon, just at
the opening of one of these fairs, I
happened to go to the club rather
early.
"'They are playing high to-day
said one of the habitues of the club to
me. / turned round towards the table
to watch the game, and was so surpris-
ed at the sight of one of the players

1T was young man OF some LWen-
ty-two or twenty-three years of age,
whom knew by sight. / was very
much interested in him. for his father
had fought courageously at Magenta,
and had been killed on the field of
battle. leaving his widow and son by
no means well provided for. The young
man came very rarely to the club, and
I had never seen him touch a card be-
fore. was supplied, therefore, to see
him holding the bank, and good bank
it was. too, for there were plenty OF
notes and gold coins heaped up in
front of him.
How much?' called out one of the
players.
"'Oh.' laughed a wealthy farmer.
M. de Mertens is in luck's way; he
can safely keep his bank OPEN
II noticed that the young mans face
was deadly pale, and that there was an
excited look in his eyes,
Open bank!' he said, and it seemed
as though the very words had changed
the luck.
Ten times running Mertens lost.
and in a quarter of an hour his bank
was cleared out. Another man took
his place, and the play went on. 1t
got so exciting that I, too, was fasci-
mated and Joined in. There was no
room to sit down at the table,, so I
continued standing, holding my hat in
my hand, and throwing my winnings
into it. had run of luck. and went
on playing in the most excited way,
until I was startled by some one calling
out:
"'You are being robbed, Captain!'
IT started, and instinctively seized
hand which had knocked against
mine through my sudden movement.
It was NJ de Mertens' hand, and he
held the forty pound note which he
had just taken out of my hat. The
wretched mans face was convulsed
with emotion. Our eyes met; his were
dilated with terror, and there was a
