SHORT SERMONS.

Our debt to the dead is unspeakable.
Dor good or i'll, the world is largely
ruled by the dead.-Rev. B. Fay Mills.
How many people really know as to
Ae immortality Of the soul? Some ar
cue we are bound to accept 1t because
Gods word says SOW. J. Colville.
Religion is altogether matter Of
faith; a matter in which the feelings
are involved, but with which the INTEL
lect has nothing to do.-Rev. 8. w.
Refgart.
The mysteries we are called upon TO
accept in our belief in Christ are not
greater than those confronting the
naturalist in the ordinary phenomena
Of life.-Dr. G. H. Combs.
The happiness or misery of a soul
will depend upon the relation Of its
environment in the spiritual world. A
soul that loves God will be happy any
where.-Rev. DR.. E. H. Ward.
Without character culture is white
wash and gold is corruption. Charac-
ter is the only solid basis for racial
development. Races possess charac-
tors just as individuals.-Rev. H. H.
Proctor.

valuable patent therefor. A patent

detachably connected with a water
tank and water and gas conveying

DEAD MAk'S BOXES
Luggage Of Ensign Ellis, De-
ceased, Passes Through.
WAS THE ONLY MAN KILLED
In the Famous Fight With
Cervera Outside Santiago.

Yesterday there passed through the city
grim reminder of the late war-the ef-
fects of Ensign Ellis, the only American
who lost his life in the battle which en-
sued when Cervera led his feet out OF
Santiago harbor.
These were a number Of boxes, which
were in charge OF a lieutenant who is
conducting them across the country, and
will leave them with Ellis relatives in
southern California.
The lieutenant in charge of the luggage
waited in Wichita several hours and a
curious crowd collected about the bag
gage and looked at it.
The baggage consists OF several wooden
boxes painted blue, and equipped with
rope handles. They had the name Of En-
sign Ellis on the outside, lettered rather
cSudely.
The lieutenant with them was delegated
&c deliver the luggage. and this having
been done, report back for further duty.
On the morning of July last, Ensign
Ellis was a yeoman on the Brookly1 !,
when Cervera and his ships came oItNof
the harbor. Ellis with field glass and
another instrument for determining DIS
tances was studying the Spanish ships as
they came closer. AS the ships undGT
Schley closed IN, Ellis activity increased
and in the midst of the engagement a
fragment of shell struck him and killed
him.
After the battle II was found that he
was the only American who had lost his
life in the. memorable engagement.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
TONIGHT, EGYPTIAN PRINCESS

TONIGHT, EGYPTIAN PRINCESS"
Although the evening was sultry, a fasr
sized audience greeted "For Horor's
Sake" a dramatization Of "Romlnce 6f
"a Poor Young Man" The play was SUI
perbly staged, the scenery used in the
piece being now and complete and with
the brilliant rays of the calcium light
made some elegant effects. The first
scene takes place in Paris IN the lodging
house Of Madame Vonberg. The poor
young man. Manue de Champcey, was
vel portrayed by George D. Baker. The
scene in the ruined tower Elfin that takes
place between Miss Allie Spooner in the
part of Mile. Marguerite and Manuel de
Champcey, was very strong and showed
off some excellent emotional work on the
part of the above characters. The other
characters deserving special mention are
Mis- Mamie Spooner, Miss Anne Harri-
son. F. Z. SpOOner. and that splendid old
veteran actor. J. II. Lewis. The bill for
tonight Is The Egyptian Princess"
