THE PRESIDENT AT CHURCH.
4 Large Congregation Hears Rev
DR.. BristoI's Sermon.


DR.. BristoI's Sermon.
President Mckinley attended service
yesterday morning at the Metropolitan
Methodist Episcopal Church. Just as he
was taking his departure an incident oc-
CURED which attracted the attention Of the
large crowd of people who were waiting
at the north door of the church TO see
him as he left the building. 1t so hap
pened that several members Of the congre-
CATION paused on the east side of the steps
which lead from the vestibule Of the
church TO the pavement. there being no
one on the west side Of the steps except
Master John Eldridge, a lad of about eight
years, and a companion still younger AS
the President started down the steps there
was general raising of hats by the male
portion of the spectators. These saluta-
tions were gracefully acknowledged by Mr
Mckinley, and having replaced his silk hat
upon his head. he was about 10 proceed to
his carriage, which was in waiting in front
of the church. He turned toward Master
Eldridge and his little companion. Imme-
diately these little fellows raised their
hats. and with a smile of recognition of
attention, the President again raised his
hat and passed on TO his carriage.
The sermon was by the Rev. Frank NJ.
Bristol. pastor of the church, and was
heard by an unusually large congregation.
In his prayer before his discourse DIR.
Bristol implored the Almighty TO turn the
hearts and minds OF the people to peace
in the hope that the time viii come when
swords shall be wrought into plowshares
and spears into pruning hooks.
The general subject of the discourse was
the necessity for men TO ask God for more
of His Spirit, and was based upon the
text taken from II Kings iX:2: Il pray thee
let a double portion OF thy spirit be upon
me" In developing his text Or. Bristol
told the story OF the journey of Elijah and
Elisha to Jehrico. on which occasion Elijah
was lifted up into heaven. When lhey
had stopped at the Jordan more than once
Elisha was warned that his master was
about TO be taken from him and he was
asked 10 desert him. This he refused 10
do. and when on these occasions he was
appealed TO by Elijah he answered: AS
the Lord liyeth and thy soul liyeth | will
not leave thee" 1t was then, upon Elijah
asking Elisha what he could do for him
before he left him that he replied in The
words Of the text.

IN DIR. TALMAGE's PULPIT.
Rev. John u. stucheIi spcnks on the
Unrest of the World.

Unusual interest was manifested in the
sermon of Rev John B. Stuchell in the
First Presbyterian Church yesterday morn
ing. in view of the fact that he has been
mentioned as the probable successor Of Dr..
r De Witt Talmage the pastor Of the
church Rev. Mr.. Stuchell is a young man
and has been the assistant pastor OF the
church for several months. He has
preached almost continuously since his
first connection with the church, owing TO
the frequent absence of DR.. Talmage, and
has made quite a favorable Impression
upon the congregation. In his prayer be
fore the sermon he spoke of the retirement
OF the pastor and asked for divine blessing
on Dr. Talmage in his new work.
Rev. Mr. Stuchell took his text from the
tenth chapter of the gospel OF ST. John
He spoke OF the unrest OF the world, de-
spite the advantages which science has
brought 10 bear upon the problems Of life
With the telegraph. the railroad, and all
the attainments of active mind. there was
STILL he thought a feeling of depression
among the people.
The great newspapers of the country"
he said. Illustrate the unrest of the world
better than anything else. The account OF
a suicide is placed in the same column with
the story of the festivities AT a christening.
Such is the mode Of life in this the most
enlightened age OF the earth S history. Are
the princely faculties given man to be
thrown back at our Maker in contempt
when man wakes up and finds himself a
failure? Is there no cure for the unrest
but the grave OF suicide? Wealth is no
antidote for misery. There is not even a
remedy in education. The results Of re-
cent scientific Investigations have left man
no star upon which to fix his hopes Too
much attention is paid to these so-called
scientific Investigations and the man Of
the earth today is a doubling creature in
deed However. there is star to fix upon
as the light of life. Jesus Christ the Star
of Bethlehem. Is the star of life, the guide
TO the haven of hope where all is peace
and love. Christ enters the guest cham
ber OF the soul and diffuses light and
geniality throughout the structure"
Rev. Mr.. Stuchell then endeayored 10
show that 10 believe in Christ was the only
way to become true men and women and
he closed his remarks by asking anyone
who knew of n better and more complete
method OF attaining happiness than
through Christ TO present their case and he
| would show them their mistake
meeting of the board of trustees of the
| church will be held this evening in the
| lecture hall of the church and a meeting
| of the congregation to consider the resig-
| nation of DIR. Talmage will be held on
Thursday evening next. The selection of
his successor will be taken up at another
| time-perhaps in April.

Their appointments than they used 10 be- but
with all their glitter they lack some Of the

THINGS THEATRICAL.

A fairly large audience, though one in
no way up TO the standard of the entertain
ment given, gathered yestereyening
at the Grand for the purpose of hearing the
much advertised Sunday concert. The per-
formance proved to be one of distinct
merit. even while it was also entirely ap-
propriate to the day. Each of the num-
bers given was much appreciated and
encores were of more than frequent &C.
currence.
First on the programme We're two Sc
lections well rendered by Ackley's band.
l.. A. Naecker's "Speedwell March and
the overture Creme de la Creme were
played and heartily applauded. Following
these Alice Maylyn, soprano with a
sweet. clear voice. contributed Gounod's
ave Marie" and two airs from Der
Freischutz' while T. J. Farron was heard
in Irish ballads and Prof. Ackley's men
cast aside their brass instruments Tor
stringed ones in offering The Wizard OF
the Nile" Next Florence Henri King. a
local yioliniste of established merit, exc
cuted Schubert's "Serenade, "A Gypsy
Dance" and the intermeZZo from Cay
alleria Rusticana," receiving hearty
round of applause after each. Maude
Courtney sang few OF the "old songs
and Ackley's Band gave descriptive as an
exit march.
The entertainment throughout was most
enjoyable Nothing occurred TO which the
most sensitiYely religious could have OBJ
jected. and the prospects are that the
Grand's concerts will soon become popu-
lar.

a special bill was provided for last
nights concert at the Bijou and drew enc
of the big audiences that have come 10
he quite the usual thing at Manager
Grieves' little place of amusement While
all the people who appeared have been
seen here before, many OF them were en-
gagged for the one performance alone.
Chief among these were the members OF

Carus female baritone whose voice has
made her great local favorite; Mae Ray

Put crowd of American youths in

Waiting for something to fire at.
Tie American forces have in their
possession good stretch of 120 miles
OF railroad between Manila and Dagu-
pan, and the natives stand in wide-eyed
wonder to see the reckless Yankees
open wide the throttles of the engines
and let them tear madly over bridges
aud around curves. That is not the
SpaEish-way of doing things.
About Caloocan, the machine shops
and roundhouses swarm with members
of the engineer corps who tinker
around, fixing this engine or building
shelter with that piece of tin.
The small dummy railroad which
runs parallel to the Manila g. Dagupan
railroad has been adopted by the Twen-

Light Horse artillery, and has been
christened "the Kansas e. Utah Short
Line"
The boys use it constantly to go to

great wonder that some serious acci-
dent has not occurred during their
reckless rides, but luck seems to be
with them in more ways than one, and
no one worries about such trifies as
smash-ups and explosions.

A MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.
How Man Was Saved from Instan-
tanGOus Death When the En-
Etne Blew Up.

"One of the stl angest accidents in
my experience" said boiler expert to
a New Orleans Times-Democrat man,
occurred n few years ago at small
sawmiil town over in Texas. They had
narrow-guage road on which logs
were hauled by pony locomotive
One day the two forward wheels OF the
little machine jumped the track and
the crew Of seven men went out to lack
1T into place. AS the engine stood. it
had cant forward, which threw all
the water in the boiler to the front end
and, as there was lively fire in the
box, 1T soon got the other end red
hot. This trifling circumstance was
overlooked by the crew, WHO proceeded
calmly with the jacking, six of them
working at the sides and one lying fiat
on his stomach under the rear trucks.
"As the engine slowly assumed
horizontal position the water ran back
to the red-hot portion, and, bang! the
whole thing disappeared in space. The
six men also disappeared. They were
distributed in small sections over at
least ten acres, and there wasn't enou~h
left of either engine or crew to make
respectable souvenir. While this dis
integration was in progress the man
who had been lying fiat cn his stomach
was experiencing the surprise Ct his
life. He had heard hideous clap Of
thunder, and when he looked up, 10 and
behold! he was all by his lonely. His
comrades and the pony locomotive,
which was but just then standing over
his back, had vanished like n dream.
All that was left was the landscape. He
was wholly unhurt."
