Coneressman Acts Hsghwayman.

Representative Rousseau o. Crump of
West Bay City, Mich. has acquired the
unique distinction here OF being the most
expert catcher OF umbrella thieves in Con-
gress, says the Washington correspond
ence of the Chicago Journal. His fame Is
based largely on an episode which occur
red last week while the heavy rains were
in progress. Mr.. Crump had just re-
turned with his daughter from the capitol,
and on going into the house he left his
umbrella In the vestibule. A few mo
ments later It occurred to him that this
might not be a safe place, and he went
out to gather in his property. But the
umbrella was not there, and the only clew
to it was a rough-iooking man walking
hastily around the next corner with a
couple of umbrellas under his arm. Mr..
Crump showed himself a man of deter
nination and promptness. Without wait
ing for his hat he dashed out into the rain
and quickly covered the distance between
himself and the disappearing umbrella
thief
Hi you!" he exclaimed, laying a heavy
hand on the mans collar 'I'n teach you
to steal my umbrellas! Hand over mighty
quick or I'll have you in the lookup in
about half a jiffy!'
The tramp covered, but protested his
innocence.
None Of thatr' yelled the indignant
congressman. "Tll teach you!" And, in
order to show that he was in earnest he
hustled the thief into the gutter, whrled
him around six times, and then cleaned
section of the pavement with the tramp's
clothes.
This seemed to notify the lawmaker
and with parting kick to help the law
breaker on his way, he picked up the two
umbrellas which had fallen on the side
walk and returned to his fireside.
But, papa" said the daughter who was
examining the umbrellas while the father
related his valiant deeds. Neither Of
these umbrellas belongs to us
And now Mr.. Crumo is famous as a
thief catcher, but is bit nervous lest he
be arrested for highway robbery.

CLAMonIsG FOR WAR

The Rev. DR.. George H. Hepweth OF
the New York Herald. WHO it will be re-
membered, went to Turkey and Armenia
! to investigate the Armenian outrages of
several years ago, has been inquitng In
| New York and Washington into the anti
| Turkish agitation which has sprung up
recently because of the SuFtan's failure
to pay a claim presented by this govern
ment on behalf OF certain missionaries.
DR.. Hepburn reaches the conclusion that
| there are two classes of citizens who are
| trying to force the admins traton at
Washington to the extremity of demand
| ing payment of this debt at the muzzle Of
| the guns of a fleet of war ships. In the
first class, he says. are politicians, in
search for campaign material and having
their own axes to grind. In the second
class he places the clergy, many of whom.
he says are "recklessly militant" The
| administration, continues DR.. Hep
worth, lis submerged in letters from min
| listers in all parts of the country implor-
| ing IL to send a feet to Smyrna, and to
| collect that little debt by force" The
good doctor is astounded 10 find the men
attitude. \
1t is easy enough to understand that
the sympathies of the clergymen are with
the missionaries, who have suffered in
dignlties and pecunlary losses in the SIl-
| ten's country, and that they desire the
| iidemnifcahon of the sufferers. In their
| demands for justice, however. those who
are advocating extreme measures throw
| prudence aside. Even justice, for which
they are calling, would suffer if their coun-
sci were accepted. Would IL vindicate
| justice and satisfy the missionaries to
whom the debt is due if American war
| ships were to shell Smyrna or some other
| Turkish seaport, and destroy the lives
and property. probably, of innocent resi-
dents of the Sultan's dominion?
AS the matter stands there seems to be
| little more involved than the payment
and collection of a debt. Would 1t not be
| folly, therefore, to accept the advice of
| the militant ministers and send warships
| at cost of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, to collect $4,000, when the same end
may be achieved through diplomacy? The
means of bringing the Sultan to terms by
| ulploHatlc hegoualon nave not been ex-
hausted, and the probabilities are that
long before they shall have been the
Turk will pay up. Should he fail to rem
der satisfaction after all peaceful means
had been tried, then would be time
enough to talk of using force. In urging
an immediate show of force, are not the
ministers evincing a spirit of intolerance
and Impotence which Ill COMFORTS with
their high calling?

CHRIsTI.N sOLDIERs.

The deep religious feeling which per-
vades the Boer armies in the South Afri-
can war has had a wonderful effect in in
creasing sympathy for the Beers in all
Christian countries It is a feature of the
war that has made deep impression in
many lands. and has been very generally
commented on. The accounts of the prayer
meetings and other religious services OF
the Beers when on the eve of battle, and
of their firm belief that Providence is on
their side and will finally give them the
victory have aroused respect and sympa-
thy for them the world over.
The prominence given the religious OBJ
seEvances of the Beers by the war CORE
spondents7 recalls that during the War
of Secession there was string religious
sentiment in the armies of the Confeder-
acy, and that Gen. Robert E. Lee was
Christian solder of the highest type.
In the current number of the Chautau
guam thTe is an article on The Inner Life
Of Robert Edward Lee" by Chaplain j.
william Jones, from which the following
extract was taken:
When the armies of Gen, Lee and Gen.
Meade were confronting each other at
Mine Run, Va, in November 1868, Gen.
Lee with his staff, was ri1ing along his
bat le-line, insp citing his own troops and
accommodating the opposing lines. In the
rear Of A. p. HILL 5 corps he suddenly
came upon large number of men en-
gagged in one of those prayer-meetings
which we frequently had on the eve of
battle. The General at once halted, dis
mountod and Joined IN the simple service
and when those humble private soldiers
arose from Their knees thoy found that
they had been l5adng the devotions of
their honored and beloved chief.
He closed his order for the observance
of the Fast Day" appointed by President
Davis for Aug. q, 1868, with these ringing
words:
Soldiers! We have s:nned against AL
mighty God We have forgotten His sig
nal mercies, and have cultivated a re-
vengeful, naughty, and boastful spirit. We
have not remembered that the defenders
of just cause should be pure in His eyes
that our times arc in His hands'-and
we have relied 100 much On cur own arms
for the achi eVeme nt of our Independence.
God is our only refuge and our strength.
Let us humble ourselves bcfore H m. Let
US confess our many sins and beseech
Him to give US a higher courage, a purer
patriotism, a more determined will-tha
He will convert the hearts of our enc
m'e--that He will hasten the line when
war, with it's sorr-ws ard suHerings, shall
cease--and that He will give US a name
and place among the naticns of the earth.
r. f.. Lee, General"
can never forget the effect produced
by the T. aiding of this order at the SOL
emn services of this memorable fast day.
A revival was already in progress in many
| CT the commands-the day was almost uni
versally observed--the attendance upon
| preaching and other services was very
| large. The solemn attention and starting
tear atiested the deep in crest felt, and

THE AMENITIES OF WAR.

If 1t still remains true that war is
hell" then the presiding genius of the
modern Internal state of war must wear
kid gloves and be accomplished in all of
the manners of the polished gentleman.
He must be Of a sympathetic nature too,
quick to send coincidence, howbelt he never
stops killing when opportunities for
slaughter are present.
Events that have trauspired and are
almost daily Transporting in the course of
the war between the British and the
Beers may be cited in illustration. When
the gallant Gen. Jan Kock fell in battle,
leading brilliant fight, the British COM
mander sent a message of sympathy and
coincidence to his family; when the death
of Joubert became known in the British
camps the Communicative chief, Lord Rob
erts, expressed by message his regrets at
the demise of so brave and honorable a
gentleman, and when Cronje had been
cornered and captured the same command
er received him with marked courtesy and
ordered that he be shown every kindness.
And on the other hand the Beers have
been quite as courteous and sympathetic,
losing no opportunity to show themselves
as well versed in the niceties of polite de-
pertinent and the fine punctilios of up-to-
date war.
Meantime, while the British have been
sending sympathy for the fallen Beers,
they have been sending also monster
shells filled with the horrible lyddite, the
poisonous fumes OF which are so deadly
that they stihe and kill even trees and
other vegetation while the human beings
whose nostrfis are assailed by them are
asphyxiated. If by good luck the Beers
escape death from the lyddite gases, their
flesh is turned green and they suffer for
days. And while the British are throw
ing lyddite, the Beers are returning about
as good as is sent with their Creusot
guns and by hiding behind rocks and
"sniping" the unlucky Britons who chance
to come within range of their powerful
rifles
The purpose of each party is to KILL
to kill in as great numbers as may be
possible. But by observing the amenities
of war. the men who are engaged in the
fighting are showing that there is no per-
sonal animus in the matter They are
lighting for principle, and for the honor
of their respective flags. There is moth
ing of the feroclty and fanaticism of the
war between savage races or the unchris-
tanned races of the Old World. In South
Africa the contest is between civilized,
Christianized white men. That is why 1t
is being so stubbornly fought, and why
the amenities are so closely observed on
both sides. AS far as possible il is being
made a "genteel' war. Nevertheless it
is horrible, as bloodshed and death by VIC
lenoe must ever be.

DEWEY IN THE WEST.

The reception which Admiral Dewey Is
receiving in the West is all he could de-
sire 1t must be very gratifying to him
20 find that outside of Washington he is
about as popular as he was when he land
ed in New York on his return from Mo-
Mia.
1t is hardly probable that he is making
the mistake of thinking that he would
be just as enthusiastically received If he
were travelling as a candidate for the nom
ination for President. People of all shad IS
of political opinion are now contendinS
with each other to do him honor. If he
were appearing before che public as a
partisan seeking an office, many Of those
who are now showing him honor would
hold aloof from him. He would notice
very great falling off in the crowds which
greet him at the railroad stations, and in
the streets of the large cities.
The people have never taken his an
nouucement that he is candidate for the
presidency seriously. They have seen
that there was no opening for him, and
they assume that he must soon see the
same thing if he has not already seen 1t.
If the Admiral has studied the political
situation closely on his trip, and taken
the trouble to find out the drift of politi-
cal sentiment, he viii return to Washing
ton satisfied that he Will not be in the
contest for the presidency.
One of the Chicago papers stated on
Thursday that Mr. Nathan Straus of New
York, was along with the Dewey party to
observe the feeling manifested by the peo-
pie towards the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS it was
such as indicated a desire to have him
for a presidential candidate. The under
standing was that Mr.. Straus was acting
for some influential New York Demo-
Gratis. The report that he will carry back
to his friends. it is pretty safe to say,
will not be such as to inspire them with
the belief that the Admiral stands a
chance of getting the nomination at KAN
sas City. The fact is. it will be only a
question of very short time before two
thirds of the delegates to the Kansas City
Convention will be instructed for Mr..
Bryan.

A CITIZEN or FLORIDA.

1t is not often in these days of multi
millionaires and grasping trusts that
there is kindly feeling for a very rich
man, even when he deserves 1t, but 1t is
safe to say that no enc has an unkind
word for Mr.. Fl. NJ. lTlagler, one of the
Standard Oil MILL naires, who, as stated
in our dispatches a day or two ago, has
become a citizen Of Florida. We are sure
that Flori6ians extend to him a hearty
wecome. He has a great number of
friends in their ate. In fact. he has
friends in pretty nearly all parts of the
South.
He has spent a great deal OF time in
Florida in recent years. and he has in
vested a very large amount of money
there. He has changed the far away and
sandy east coast Of the state into a gar
den by building railroad, four hundred
miles long, through Il. and he has made
fairy land of the ancient city OF st. Au-
CUISINE. which, before his appearance
there. was but little better than a fishing
village
There have been very few men favored
by Providence with great wealth who
have made better use of their wealth than
has Mr.. Flagler. He does not believe in
boarding IT, nor does he care to invest 1t
so that it will bring the largest return in
money. He believes in using 1t 50 that It
will bring benefits to others. His proper
ties IN Florida are not big-paying invest
menfs. but they yield a support to very
large number OF porle. and he is salts
fed. Besides being a clear headed business
man Mr.. Flagler is a charitable, courteous
