PROBABLE CAUSE.
Filipinos Resented Dewey's Interference
With Their Shipping.

Washington, February lit may be that
it was Admiral Dewey's act in Selling a
vessel loaded with arms and ammunition
intended for them that melted the Philip
pine insurgents to attack the American
soldiers Saturday night. for it is understood
that one of the bitterest of their grievances
was what they declared to be unwarranted
interference with their shipping.
1t is learned at the navy department that
about week ago the admiral caused the
seizure of the schooner Taneng with full
supply of such arms for the insurgents. The
admirars report discloses the fact that an
American and not a German owned the YES
sci thus being used to arm the insurgents
against Otis troops.

A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy is the Only
Cure.

If the people generally knew the
true cause of Rheumatism, there
would be no such thing as lini-
ments and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease. The fact is,
Rheumatism is a disordered state
of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires a real
blood remedy-something more than
a mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case.
A few years ago was taken with in
fiammatory rheumatism, which, though
mild at first, became gradually so in
tense that l was for weeks unable to
walk. l tried several prominent physi-
clans and took their treatment faith
fully, but was unable to get the slightest
relief In fact, my condition seemed to
grow worse, the pains spread over my
entire body, and from November to
March l suffered agony I tried many
patent medicines, but none relieved me.
Upon the advice of q friend decided to
try s. S. 8. Before allowing me to take
it, however, my guardian, who was a
chemist, analysed the remedy, ard pro-
nouneed it free of potash or mercury.

other shameful Things

Sensational preachers, yellow Journals
and everybody uses shameful and IN
decent language in a great degree salo
Dr. Landrum, for the fascination Oh siii
and vice.
Certain things may be spoken OF anu
certain others must be forbidden topics.
Immodesty of speech is as reprehensipie as
unchaste acts Smuttiness, indecent talk
ing. coarse jokes, salacious stories, double
entendre soil not only the lips, but the
soul.
cit is a shame to use unhealthy speech
when you may employ words that will have
a real therapeutic effect. Christian Science
should be commended in so far as 1t dis
courages us from talking of our own all
ments. A bore has been defined to be one
who talks so much about himself that he
leaves you no time to talk about yourself.
The bore par excellence is the one who en-
joys poor health and is always talking
about it.

Dyspeptic Preachers

ministers whose nervous systems are
overwrought or who are chronic dyspetics
are likely to be peevish in temper, pugilic-
tic in argument, fiercely intolerant of other
peoples views, slaves to all sorts of cranky
notions and pessimistic in the extreme
Whenever you hear a preacher who is al
ways hitting somebody, or roasting some
heresy or moaning the decay of morals and
the degeneracy of the times. you make
take it for granted he is a dyspeptic.
I'm my opinion we should not admit
hypochrondriacs and melancholiacs into
the ministry. A man who cannot pass the
examination of the surgeon of an insurance
company should rarely appear for exami-
nation before the ordainng council 1t is
a difficult thing to get healthy sermons
from unhealthy men,
The above article was shown Mr.. Ireland
and he seemed very much surprised, saying
that the statement of DR.. Landrum In re-
gard to his making a request to preach in
the First Baptist church is absolutely
false.
mo, I never made any such request"
said kid Davis and 1 do not think Dr.
Landrum a thorough Christian for making
such a remark. The great trouble in our
ministry is that we have too many re-
formed men and not enough that have
really been converted. This man is one of
the reform lot and has never been regen-
Grated. 1 am, indeed, sorry to see a man
who is so narrow-minded and partisan in
his views as to make statements that will
only hurt him and injure the cause of
Christianity. He cannot hurt me by such
talk, but will only stop the onward work
for Christ. 1t is true, 1 spoke to him,
but l only asked him for the address of
DR.. Wharton, at whose church 1 after
wards preached.

There is a row on between the preachers.
DR.. Landrum, of Atlanta, delivered very
Sensational sermon from the pulpit Of the
First Baptist church in Atlanta last sun
day. in which he severely scored Kid Davis
the ex-bandit minister, who is now in BIZ
mingham. Mr.. Ireland, alias ''I<id Davis
was seen last night and very bitterly re-
scented DIR. Landrum's statement.
The Atlanta Journal of last Monday
printed DR.. Landrum's sermon under a
double column head from which is given
the following excerpts:
.sKidv Davis Roasted
kid" Davis, the ex-safe cracker ana
train robber, who has been conducting
eyangelistic services in Atlanta, came III
for a red hot roast from Dr. Landrum our
ing the progress of the sermon REFERRING
to him DR.. Landrum said:
1.-THE perepatetic sought me and asked
permission to preach. On examining DIS
covered that he was an ex-convict, ex-
burglar. ex-gambler ex-drunkard and ex-
adulterer. who wished this platform as
stage on which to act over again his GOO
less career.
His idea seemed to be that church OF
God Is a low variety ehea'ei -,
of sins are graphically described WIN al
their disgusting details. True, he expected
to close the performance with an exhorta-
ton. But the same thing is true Oh the
variety theater. In the last scene vice Is
always declared vanquished and virtue
victorious. Tho fascination of the Drama
lies in the audacity of the scoundrei VINO
for SO long a time is the hero OF Gooiess-
ness and lawlessness and the successlui
apostle of vice and crime. The moral Is TOT
gotten; the immortality Is the mighty
mountain never lost to view. what inc
newspapers reported of that young man
was dime novel discourse which no poys
could hear with impunity. 1t is Shame
ever to speak of things which men DO IN
secret"
