WOMAN AS AIN
ELEMENT in
PUBLIC MORALS,
The Topic of an Interesting Sermon
Last Night by Rev. J. L. sooy,
5T Who Pronounces
.lNfAVOR OFWOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Gods Greatest Type of Woman is the
Plain Woman Who Shines in
the Home Life.

Last night large audience, consid-
ering the unpropitous weather. enjoy
ed "a. very able discourse. by DR.. J. l..
Sooy,Sat the Fourth Street NJ. E.
church, on the topic of Woman as an
Element in Public Morals. In the
course Of his remarks he said:
What share has woman in this
world. but the love of what is good and
right? When God set woman into the
world he male her a loving creature to
carry the balance of: power, 10 be ad-
mired and Loved. Women surpass men
as companions: they have in many In
stances been the making of men,"
He paid glowing tribute to Harriet
Martineau as a woman In philosophy.
saying she was mot Gods type of wo-
man. ..
Gods type Of woman is the plain
woman, who is the perfection of love,
devotion and tenderness. one who ad-
ministers over your fathers household.
always at the side Of your father, ever
ready to correct your errors. always
willing to offer kind advice. taking care
OF you during your illness, looking after
you and praying for you until called to
the silent majority of the many. These
are the women who have been instru-
mental In making many men famous.
He referred to the work of the wo-
man missionaries, in China and other
countries. and urged that they be en-
couraged and have the right to conse-
crate by baptism. He argued that wo-
man Is n powerful Influence In further
ing the gospel.
He paid q glowing tribute to the
American woman, In relating story of
an. American girl at the reception of
John Bright, who. upon inquiring of
three men rs to the workings Of q po-
litical convention IN America, was sur
prsed to find them ignorant on the
subject, but the American girl respond
ed and enlightened him very satsfac-
torily John Bright said: with such
advancement in education the Amerl-
can nation is secure: the future race
will be a race of patriots
Every American woman should have
all rights. He believed in woman suf-
frage, and they should have the right
to vote. The father does not govern
his home. the wife must do It. The
woman should have the right to vote on
school questions; sho should have the
q right to select the teacher who in
structs her children. She should have
the privilege of voting on the license
question. TO say whether or not rum
shop or gambling house should be per-
mitted near her home. whereby the
morals OF the young man may be
tempted. Some have urged II the wo-
man votes the home would be broken
UP and they would become less lovablc.
The speaker referred to England.
Where is there n more lovab!e or better
woman than the good English mother?
Woman would not become unsexed.
DR.. Sooy closed his remarks with mr.
appeal to study these important CUES
tons. He announced that he would
leave the city on his vacation this
week and would not FIJI the pulpit
agaln until the first Sunday in Septcm-
Der.

Can You See the POintH

Mr.. Wayland, in his Appeal to Rea-
son, put the Chinese trade situation in
the following light:
Let's have an open door to China.
Let's force the Chinese to trade with us.
1t will protect American labor; being
the poorest paid people on earth they
will furnish an excellent market from
the goods produced by high-priced Ia
Dor in the United States! Think of we'll
paid labor being furnished market
where people get one and two cents a
day! Let's put in machinery in China
SO that they can produce goods and sell
in our markets. That is what the CAPT.
talists are doing. The Chinese, once
introduced to the knowledge of ma
chinery, will produce with it at two
cents a day as much as American labor,
man. Then will the American voting
king get the benefit of what he furnish
ed the blood and money to do-force
open the door on China Americans
Will nave TO Work at as low wages as
Cinnamon or the capitalists will make
goods in China with cheap labor and
ship them here. The same will be done
tariff free from the Philippines Some
people do not see the intention of those
who direct them. If they did there
would not be a crowned head on earth.
There is a funny animal on earth and
it's name is workingman.

THE PROFESSION OF SPY.

Hazardous, IL Lucrative.

Necessary to Warfare, and, Although
Hazardous, IL Lucrative.
The word spy has an ugly sound. owing
to it's many unpleasant associations, yet in
war times spies afford an army aid which is
as valuable as 1T il highly remunerated- One
OF the maxims for commanding officers, in
book for their guidance written by Lord
Wolseley, Is that successful spy must be
petted and made much Of: The management
of spies is very difficult. Out of every 10 en-
ployed by the officer commanding war dis
trict he is fortunate II one gives him truth
full information. It ia a most important
thing that spies should not be known to each
other. Great care is generally taken by
officers that each spy shall imagine that he
is the only one who Is employed.
It is very necessary that all bona f1de
spies should have about their persons some
means OF proving themselves really to be
what they represent themselves. For this
purpose coin Of certain date, a Bible Of
a certain edition, q Testament with the
seventh Of fifteenth leaf torn out are gen.
orally employed.
BY their means a spy who was employed
by an officer in neutral state, making his
way to headquarters of the army in the field.
could thus at once make himself known to
the intelligence department there. In some
instances it is considered that password or
sign should be employed, as 1t is less COM
promising The putting up Of the right hand
to the ear and then to the left ear, or some
such gesture, is sometimes employed
The more extensive the ramiflcations of
the system the better are the chances OF es-
Gaping detection. 1t Is very necessary that
officers Of the intelligence department should
be provided with specially prepared paper.
upon which letters can be written in ink

been subjected to some chemical process. It

Overlook the Runaway Horse, Which

overlook the Runaway Horse, Which
Meekly Submitted to Defeat.
It was automobile against horse in des-
perate race along Michigan avenue and
mechanical energy triumphed. The start
Of the race was at Michigan avenue and
Forty third street. A saddle horse, whose
owner carelessly had left him united at
the curb, got the notion into his brain
that he needed more exercise and started of
at canter. He passed the horseless car
rage at the corner. 1t seemed as if the
vehicle of secret power had been left at
the post in the parlance Of the track.
The motorman, perched high in the air(
gave a jerk to the power switch, doubling
the speed Of the conveyance in half doz-
en- lengths. He said few hasty words
to the occupants. apparently receiving their
approval. and with another movement Of
his hand further increased the speed Of
the vehicle The horses lead was half a
block at Forty-fifth street. In the next
100 yards his advantage had decreased. It
was plain to the spectators of the interest
ing contest that he was destined to be de-
feated.
Muddy cross streets, in which the automo-
bile ordinarily would not have been as fast
as a wheelbarrow. were passed but the
horse did not turn. He seemed to be over
confident.
When Forty-seventh street was passed the
dashboard of the automobile was at the
horses TANKS. Steadily the vehicle drew
I'D alongside the fleeing animal. Thr horse
made a last desperate rally. but his squirt
was short lived. Midway between Forty
seventh street and Forty eighth the motor
and a man reached forward from the front
and grasped the dangling reins. The horse,
badly beaten. meekly submitted to capture.

CHARACTERISTICS OF LONGEVITY.

Certain Conditions That Tend to
Possession Of Long Life.
Health Cultural careful examination
will show that certain physical character
istics are usually associated with longevity
Perhaps the most noticeable Of these is
carriage. Ninety nine out Of 100 people
have curvature Of the spine. The octogen-
arian is the hundredth man. His spine Is
straight line his head erect, his chest
broad and deep. This means that the vital
organs are properly supported by the at
tachments provided by nature and that they
do not rest upon and crowd each other.
The heart. lungs, stomach. liver and kid
neyS are thus enabled to do their work un-
impeded. and their activity in providing food
for the tissues and In removing waste mat
ter (Which is the prime cause of disease). Is
potent factor in longevity. large trunk.
with legs short in proportion, a straight
spine and an erect carriage are among the
most obvious characteristics of those who
attain great age.
Another characteristic of those who
achieve longevity. less evident to the un-
trained observer, but equally important, is
the habit Of slow, deep respiration. The
oxygen is the only real food for only the
matter oxidized in the system becomes
tissue. Deep, full breathing means an i'm
mensely increased amount of oxygen in
gested. and an equally augmented quantity
of poisonous matter eliminated by the lungs.
Mental quietude Is essential to proper
breathing. The excited mantle emotional
individual-who suffocates with Joy, palpi-
tates with enthusiasm, chokes from rage,
gasps with establishment, signs from the in
tensity Of his attachments-the emotional
individual by every inequality in his respir-
alton abbreviates his life
Another physical characteristic of long
evity, most important of all and seldom or
never noticed is ease and reporse of move
ment. The old person-the hale. vigorous.
healthy old man-moves easily, lightly,
silently. He always moves that way That's
the reason he is now here, instead OF with
the others who, with their gasps and signs,
the clinched blows and twirling thumbs,
their intense emotions and little complaints,
are gone and forgotten. Ease of movement
and grace depends upon muscular relaxa-
ton. Muscular relaxation is impossible ex-
cept when the mind is tranquil.
A fourth popularity of those who live long
Is that they are invariably small eaters.
Commands die young. The octogenarian
is always frugal. The enormous physiological
task of digesting and excreting daily pounds
Of food not needed by the organism is not
performed by the frugal eater, SO that he
has the more vitality to expend In thought,
in working and In living out this century.
We live not SO much because Of what we
eat. as because Of what we do not eat. Much
has been written on the subject of LONGEVITY,
but little that today possesses any beyond
a merely literary interest. The influence
Of occupation, of climate, OF stimulants of
location. or race and breeding upon long
evtty open interesting fields for discussion
but affect the matter only Indirectly.

SHE WAS HER OWN UNION.

Walking Delegate Didn't Wait t.
Pursue Inquiry.
That Is an amusing story OF the thrifty
Long Island woman who painted her own
house. She had sought in vain for a painter
whose terms were reasonable She was
a business woman and she considered the
prices quite too high. even for the busy
season. So she bought quantity OF paint
and secured long ladder, and set to work
covering the walls. While she was intent
upon the task the gate opened and a man
came into the yard. He hailed the lady Of
the brush and demanded to know to what
union she belonged. When she finally COM
pretended the meaning of the query she
asked him to linger a moment while she
came down to deliver the answer.
But the questioner did not wait. He saw
the glitter in her eye and the big brush In
her hand. and he found he had immediate
business elsewhere. Then she reclimbed the
ladder and resumed her work undisturbed.
Some time ago prominent leader said
that organized labor would quickly win vic
tories in many more OF Its struggles II tho
women could be persuaded to combine to-
gether as the men do. But 1t Is very doubt
full If they can be brought to realize the
benefits that might accrue from giving UP
their personal independence. This Long

A Frightened Steward.


Not long ago Sir William Vernon
Harcourt dined on an English man-Of-
war, and storm coming up the captain
who was a very small man, persuaded
him to occupy his stateroom for the
night. The steward was not notified OF
the arrangement, and the following
morning at 6 o'clock he brough cup
OF coffee to the captains door.
Knocking twice without receiving a
reply was most unusual, SO the steward
hastily pushed open the door and in
quired:
Don't you wish your coffee this
morning, sir?"
Sir William gave snore, and the
steward was amazed to see huge figure
under the bedclothes. Smash went the
cup and saucer, and the frightened sail
or tore off to the surgeons Office.
For heavens sake, sir" he gasped
"come to the captain! He's speeches.
and swollen to ten times his natural
size!"
