THE DAY
OBSERVED.
Three Thousand C0IOred
Visitors at Big
Quarterly.

Colored folks from Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware joined in the observ-
ance Of big Quarterly" in this city yes
terdey French street was the scene OF
| the gathering but the thousands of visit
ors did not resemble those of years gcne
by. The old time colored folks are nearly
all extinct and their places have been tax
en- by more enlightened set Of people.
The pronenader and curiosity seeker
could be seen Mt every step while those
who came for devotional interests in the
day were In the minority.
At the African Union Church an old
fashioned love feast was held in the MORN
ing. in charge of the Rev. j. B. Peterson
of Merchantvile, N ] , and at the service
following, the sermon was delivered by
the Rev. John E. Sergeant, of this city,
president of tie middle district of this
conference. The Rev George Brown, the
pastor, of1iciated In the afternoon, and in
the evening the Rev. Andrew Woodward,
of st. Matthew's Church, Philadelphia,
occupied the pulpit. Overflow meetings
were held in tent In the rear of the
church, in charge of the Rev. J. A. Mattee
of St. James A. U. NJ. P. Church South
Wilmington. At the church services,
there was conspicuous absence Of the old
and wierd plantation hymns, an elaborate
programme Of sacred selections being Civ
en- by the consoidaed cLoirs of the A. U
M p. churches.
Immense congregations filled the, other
churches and listened to eloquent SER
mons. The impromptu street religious
meetings were missed and may of thoss
present talked of the good old days OF their
fathers when they would join in with the
exhorter and sing II heard a voice to me
SO DEAR
The police had but little trouble with
the visitors. A few of tho local celebrities
went SO far as to have the genuine stuff
on tap for sale. The police raided
these places and The City Court report will
contain the deposition Of tho cases. The
exodus of the visitors began at about
o'clock and by 7 o'clock in the evening
the majority OF the visitors had left for
home. The crowd seemed greater around
the French Street Station than at any
other point
The New Castle cars carried the excur-
sionists from Salem and other points. The
Wilmington boats and the Darby trolley
cars carried tho colored people from Ches-
ter and Philadelphia By 10 o'clock last
night fow refreshment stands were the
only signs uf the big day that remained.

ed by DR.. PettingIll.

particularly interesting. Rev. W. L.
Pettngill was the speaker anl upon tie

asked for prayers. The meeting was
opened with songs OF praise, aftor which
Bibles were distributed and Mr. Pettin-
gill read from Acts II. Selecting a num-
ber of texts In reference to sin, which
were read by those in the audience, the
speaker gave short and impressive talk
on each text rs 1t was read.
Mr.. Pettingill said God commanded all
sinners to repent. Paul did not 60 about
asking people to become ministers of
church. Too much ccaxing. the speaker
said, is done in these days, in reference
to which statement he recalled the express
sion Of Rev. DR.. Erdrnan. during the
Bible conference held in West Presby tor
ian Church, that tho Bible is written In
the imperative mood. The necessity OF
confession of sin was emphasized and the
power of Christ to cleanse from it was i'm
pressed upon the congregation,
Speaking OF the forgiveness OF Christ,
Mr.. Pettingill illustrated his remarks by
telling the story of one Of Martin Luther's
reputed conferences with tho devil. On
the wall of Luther's study there is large
blot of ink which Is said to have been made
when Luther threw an ink well at the
devil. The devil appeared before Luther
with long list Of black pages Of the mis-
deeds of his life, each one unfolded being
blacker than the previous one and asked
If Luther believed Christ had forgiven him.
Luther said he was forgiven, as Christ
said by His blood he cleansed from all sin.
The speaker did not explain just at what
point Luther throw the ink we'll.

GAINESVILLE, O., Aug. 2S.--Some of the
workers for candidates arrived here
yesterday for the Democratic state
convention, which meets here tomor-
row and Wednesday. Although the
Mclean men still claim majority of
rs votes on the first ballot. with all
the candidates still in the field the Kill
bourne men are working hard. Efforts
to have Colonel James Kilbourra ac-
cept second place on the ticket have
again failed. The Mclean men will
make no concessions to the freiends of
Mayor Jones, of Toledo, and will de-
clare against municipal ownership of
street railways, gas works and even
against the initiative and referendum.

MAY ARREST MERCIER
Rumor That France Will Prosecute
Ex-War Minister.
WOULD NOT FLEE FROM ARREST.

The Eclair, the Newspaper That Pub
lished the "Canaille dc D." Docu-
ment, VIII Be Brought to TASK With
View to Discovering the Author.
Rennes, Aug. 28.-The government
has decided to prosecute The Eclair
for the publication of the "Canaille dc
D." document. one of the four doc
uments secretly communicated to the
Dreyfus court martial of 1894 and which
has been shown not to refer to Cap
tain Dreyfus at all. The object of the
government is to discover who conn
municated 1t to The Eclair. The as
sumption is that the communication
was made by Colonel Du Patty de Clam,
or possibly by General Gonse. The
publication occurred three years ago,
but under the law prosecution can be
maintained at any time during the fol-
lowing five years. The persons Sc
lected for prosecution are contrib
utor to The Eclair and M. Hassard,
director of The Patrie. The former
will be charged with having printed
a perversion of the "Canaille de D."
uUCuiueuI DIS ludl DcdSl VI bICy-
fus is really becoming too exacting."
1t is rumored that the government
has also decided to arrest General
Mercier, but the rumor is not con-
firmed. Saturday evening report was
in circulation that General Mercier had
fed to the Island Of Jersey, but this
stofy proved to be without foundation.
Yesterday the gendarmes were still
posted outside the residence of General
st. Germain, military commander of
this district. with whom General Mer-'
cier has been staying during the trial.
Their presence indicated that he was
still there, and in reply to questions
they declared that they had not seen
him leave the grounds. No one who
has studied his character and methods
believes that General Mercier would
flee at the prospect of arrest. He has
altogether too much grit in his COM
position.

quent recommendations to Governot
General Brooke of the eucalyptus tre4
as an anti-malarial agent, some inves.
LEGATIONS into the subject, have been
carried on under his orders In places
formerly malarial, planted with eu-
calpytIs, the outcome is the steady
disappearance of marshy spots. The
tree, which absorbs the moisture,
grows very rapidly, often ten feet in
a year. The wood is valuable and
honey bees seek the flowers. The
honey, it is said. contains important
medicinal properties.

everything is ripe for a strike that
