THE REVIVAL
Mr.. Hoffman Addressed the Audience
Last Night

Rev. Mr.. Hoffman, ex-psstor of the
M. E. church, preached last night, tax
ing for his text, Would We also be
come his disciples?' Jno. 9:27.
Mr.. Hoffman spoke in part as follows
Jesus possessed peculiar powers. HI
said, "And I. if I be lifted up, will
draw all men unto me What was Il
drew men to Christ Men impress you
by their appearance, their speech ant
their spirit. There was evidently
something in Christ's appearance thai
drew men to him when he was or
earth.
When Thorwaldsen had prepared q
statue of Christ for the royal academy
at Copenhagen, he did not call for the
critics to test it, but he called on q
hum Die Christian woman, and request
ed her to see the statue, and when she
cried out, my Lord and my God,' he
knew that his work was a success.
Christ also drew men to him by his
speech. There is a great deal in a
mans speech. Sam Jones says that
the difference between a So preacher
and So 900 preacher Is in the way ne
wags his tongue. Christ impressed
his enemies thus. The very men who
sought to arrest him had to say,
never man spoke as this man"
Christ likewise drew men by the
spirit he manifested towards them, and
towards his work. He was unseldsh,
he forgot his own trials when he be-
held the SORROWS of others. Oh! the
world Is hungering for sympathy, and
the man or woman whose spirit is deep
and loveable must have a drawing
power, and get the heart of man and
God. Jesus said. ITO him who loveth
much, much is forgiven"
Capt. Pitt,of the Salvation Army de.
cided Monday that the army could prob
ably do more good by going back to
the barracks and holding its ser.
vice as usual. 1t was reported last
night, however, that he is now doubt
full about that, aud may again unite
with the cooperative forces. Cap.
Pitt is a member of the ministers
conference and received q warm recep
ton in the cooperative effort and
should he decide to return the recep
tions would be just as warm. The
con ference left and leaves the whole
matter of cooperation in his hands.
The subject tonight will be 1.-THE
Secret of Happiness"

AN ENGINEERS PROPHECY
In Regard To the Austin Dam And
Its Possibility OF Giving Away

"The breaking of the dam at Aus
tin has opened the eyes of the people
of the world to the criminal and gigan-
| tic frauds they are continually sub
jected to-" said j. B. Keyes, of New
York, who was in the Texas capital
HERALD representative when inter.
viewed.
1T was terrible disaster and one
that will always be blot on the fair
name of the state. Subsequent de-
velopments seem to verify the rumors
that the cause of the loss was nothing
else but GRIMM al fraud or negligence
on the part of those in charge. Many
lives may be charged up to those who
allowed the work to be performed in
that slip shod manner and the sight OF
that inundated country with It's path of
ruin should be a black spot in their
conscience not easily overcome
Mr.. keyes was very enthusiastic over
the portions of the southwest he has
visited and did not hesitate to declare
this q most promising section In every
way.
His remarks on the dam question
bring to mind the word of an old en-
gineer OF national reputation. 1t was
but week before the great flood &C.
cured that William Harrison, of Parral,
while visiting in this city said to
ii ERALD reporter: Il have had
much experience 10 the construction
of public works. In fact | have follow
ed the occupation of civil engineer for
many years. / was asked to estimate
on that dam at Austin and presented a
bid for the work at as low figure as
1 thought possible and follow the spe.
cifcations. 1t was refused, some one
getting in lower and the work was
given out.
Several years later was visiting at
the capital and was asked to drive out
to the dam with a number of the Off
Gals. AS | stood there and viewed th at
which was considered great piece of
engineering L predicted it's destruction
at the hands OF the water before much
time had elapsed. They we're amused
at my statement and remarked that
vas perhaps bit dIsgruntled on not
receiving the contract myself Well,
L was not, but did not like the looks
Of the work or think we'll of the low
figure and still think it will some day
be the cause of many human souls be-
ing swept into eternity"
Mr.. Harrison returned to Parral and
no more attention was given his re-
marks until the awful tidiugs was re-
ceived of that appalling disaster. Was
1t criminal negligence that Was re-
spousible for such an occurrence
Evidence seems to favor the view.

BEAUTY OF ROMAN WOMEN.
A Peculiar Type Unlike ThatWhich Is
Distinctive of the North.

Northern beauty, however fine may
be the line of its contour, is never,
Tor good or evil, mere beauty of the
body, thing beginning with itself
and ending with itself; it contains all
ways a suggestion; it is haunted by a
soul; it leaves for its complexion some
thing to the imagination. But in the
beauty of Roman women there is no
trace of spiritual beauty. none of the
softness of charm: it is the calm, as
sured, unquestionable beauty of the
flesh. There are faces which should
be seen always in pure outline, for
they are without melting curves, deli
cate and variable shades or ANYTHING
but their own definite qualities, as
they are III themselves. The faces OF
Roman women of the upper classes are
cold, hard, finished and imDenetrabIe
as canoes. In a face which is at ali
beautiful you will not find a line which
is not perfect, and this elegance and
sureness Of line goes with that com
pIeXlon which is the finest of all COM
pleXions-pure iyory-and which car
rles with it the promise of a tempera-
ment in which there is all the subtlety
OF lire. The distinction between the
properly aristocratic and the strictly
P1CO1dH lace Is. L tnlnks less marked
in Rome than in any city. Almost all
Roman women have regular faces, the
profile clearly cut and in a straight
line; black hair, often with deep tones
of blue in it and sometimes curling
crisply; dark eyes, often of fine uni
form brown, large, steady, profound
with that unmeaning profundity
which means race. and which one sees
in the Jewess. the gypsy. They have
truly Roman dignity. and beneath
that the true fire without which digni
ty is but the comely shroud of :;
corpse, and though there is not a
trace in them of the soft. smiling, cat
ike air of the women of Venice, anC
not much of the vivid. hardy. unearinc

Sugar goes up six cents the
highest price In nine years. The
independent companies have fol-
lowed the price of the trust. This
proves plainly that competition
IS not possible while combination
is possible. Postage stamps remain
at the same figure as last year. and
the system pays better wages than
the sugar trust. Mckinley and
Bryan are not afraid of having
public employment Why should
working people? The government
could produce cane and make sugar
at less price and pay better wages,
