BISHOP MoRRIsons SERMON.
he breaches an Eloquent Sermon to Large
Congregation.

Bishop Morrison is surely North
Carolinian. In personal appearance,
he is aoeomposite of Zeb Vance, Judge
Avery and Dan Hugh Mclean. Ands
in preaching ability he is at the top.
He is fine looking man, a deep thinker
and fine orator.
Bishop H. c. Morrison preached yester
day to a large congregation at Edenton
Street church
The Bishops sermon will rank among
the best that have ever been preached
in this State. 1t had the simplicity that
that marks a great productions child
could understand it.
The Bishop dealt with the reasons for
thanksgiving. He told of the especial
blessings that have been showered upon
this nation and people, He spoke of the
glorious prospect that is opening up.
Bue he is not unmindful of the dangers
that confront us. and the quicksands
upon which our nations life may be
wrecked.
Bishop Morrison said that the four great
questions that were full of danger to
Americans are the question of monopo-
lies, the rum question. the race problem
and the destruction of the Sabbath.
These questions, said he, "call for the
highest wisdom of our statesmen. and
the most absolute purity of life of the
church"
Again referring to monopoly he said:
1T is sad day when the wealth of
country drifts into the hands of a few
men, This is true in all the past, and
is exemplified in the histories of Rome
and Greece and other nations that have
passed into Oblivion. 1t is prelude to
their destruction
The Bishops text was composed of two
passages of scripture: I'VE love Him be-
cause He first loved u.s. and I'm every
thing give thanks.
Let us thank God today. said the
Bishop. for His love toward US. A fee
BILE nature is not capable of strong affec-
ton. strong nature of no other kind,
and if God loves us at all, He cannot love
us with less than an everlasting love.
We might judge this love was a waste

Bishop Morrison Formally Opened the Meth
odist 0rphanage For the Reception Of

Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving.

Raleigh took Thanksgiving yester-
day.
1t was day of devout Thanksgiving
by all and a holiday to all except the
newspaper men. They had to do two
days work.
Services were held in five of the
churches of the city, and all met with
good congregations.
The football game in the evening
witnessed by a fair crowd, who rooted
for the home boys.
The reception held at the Baptist
Female University was crowded with
students from Trinity and Wake For
est Colleges, who lost their hearts to
the fair Baptists-and who can blame
them?
In the afternoon an orphanage was
formally opened, and is now ready
to receive homeless children.
And just outside of the city the
bang of the hunters guns was heard
all day long.
Last night there was an intellectual
set-to between two of the foremost
educational institutions of the State.
And that's how Raleigh observed
Thanksgiving hunting, playing, pray
ing, opening an orphanage. contribute
ing to charities, relieving the necessi-
ties of the poor and in various other
ways.
The exercises Of the day are given in
detail below.

CHINESE JUSTICE.
The Prisoner Must First Confess Be- Gore He Can Be Punished
 by Law.

"June 27, at ten o'clock" says the late Admiral John w. Philip in the interesting passages from his diary published in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, q went down with 90 men to attend a meeting of the Chinese court. The business to-day consisted in com pairing the English and Chinese records of the case and making them agree. They reexamined the two leaders, who are the Chung brothers, and occupied nearly the whole day in trying by diff ferent tortures to make these fellows confess to their guilt. One proceeding rather amused me, although it was barbarous. The leading mandarin had asked one of these brothers several questions, to which he would not an- swer to the satisfaction of the court, so the mandarin wrote out the evidence as he thought the criminal ought to speak it, and then told him to acknowl- edge that it was correct; and when the poor fellow refused to comply with the courts request, he was tortured until he tainted in the courtroom and had to be removed. By the Chinese laws they cannot punish a person until he con- fesses to everything. If the court thinks the prisoner is telling lies they torture him for the truth; or, If he does not speak as they wish him to and will not confess his guilt, they torture him in the most cruel manner until he does as they wish. As soon as he con- fesses, he is beheaded, frequently in one hour. was told in court that very often a criminal would die under his Ap L guilty. These, I suppose, are rare cases, where the man is really inno- cent of the crime charged. have seen enough of Chinese jurisprudence to disgust me with it for the future"

vailed and nothing serious resulted. In the third heat of the 2:21 pacing class smash-up occurred that involved three drivers, horses and sulkeys, and it was nothing short of a miracle that all lives were saved.
 At the turn near the eighth pole Maude A. broke, and Warren B. at tempted to snatch the pole. He crushed the pole horse, Maud A., to the ground. and Lady Pierson and I\ittie Wilkes piled up, in order named.
 F. l.. Chickering, driver of Rittie Wilkes, was lying under his kicking mare. Mart Fulton, driver of Lady Pierson, saw him ill that perilous place. and, although stunned and hurt himself, he limped over and dragged the unconscious man out of danger.
 W. w.. Fox, Maud As driver, for tunately escaped with only a shake-up. Again, in the first beat of the 2:29 pace coming down the homestretch, Frank W. stumbled, throwing his driver over his head. Both horse and driver es- caped without injury.
 The 2:2O trot, left over from Thurs day, was completed with c. E. J. win ming two straight heats. Five heats were run before the 2:21 pace was de- cided. Fittie Wilkes was the winner. after going a dead heat with Warren B.
 Shortly after the accident Walter Cox succeeded Chickering. the injured man. and manaGed to win first money for Kittie Wilkes. The 2:29 trot was not interesting. it being taken easily in straight heats by Creosote with lit tie oposition.
 Two heats of the 2:29 pace were pulled off, they being won by Charlie c. This race will be finished to-day.
