The Worthington advance., 1900-03-30

The opening of the main auditorium
OF the new Presbyterian church and
the formal dedication of the whole
building, and beautiful pipe organ,
which occasion has been long looked
for occurred Sunday. By invitation the
M. +. church participated in the
morning service and the Baptist,
Methodist and Congregational
chuI ches in the evening service.
At the morning service the audi
torium was overflowed, necessitating
the using of the Sunday school room.
In the evening both rooms we're
crowded to nearly their full capacity.
Z Conservative estimates places theat.
tendance at 800 in the evening. In
any event it was the largest audience
that ever assembled in one body in
the city of Worthington. :.
In the morning service Rev. Beattie's
discourse was from the text; "Thy
Kingdom Come" In the evening;
"Wherefore, Oh King Agrippa, 1 was
not Disobedient to the Heavenly
Vision" Both sermens were elo.
quent and highly appreciated by
both of the entire audiences, many
made the expression that they never
heard, or enjoyed sermon more than
they did these. r.
After the morning sermon Geo. D.
Dayton, chairman, of the building
committee made a statement as to
the cost, ,ofsthe church and it's finan-
cial condition. The church cost
$16,5s7. and the organ $1,1l8 making
Z a y total Of 81, as. ll,of thisamonat
had been paid except $500. he
also stated that the rumor that a
legacy had been loft the church was
without foundation, but every cent
paid had been pledged by only the
members OF the church or some men,
Der OF a family that had a member
in the church.
Rev. Beattie then explained the
various spiritual and temporal ad-
vantages of such a magnificent edifice
to the village and stated that it was
desired 10 raise the amount unpledged
before the church was dedicated and
set about tie work of securing the
amount. and hsppily was successful.
AS will be seen by the list below, the
contributions were liberal and from
the manner indicated they were
given freely. The responee was SO
prompt that Mr.. Beattie was highly
pleased, and to say the trustees and
members were pleased ie a mild
statement, but their remarks of ap-
probation uttered came from the
heart and will always furnish happy
thoughts in memory of the occasion.
Below is list of those contribut-
ing at the morning service and the
amount:

Mr.. MASON ANGERED
British Consul at New Orleans
Criticised American Officers,
THE FACT is PED IN The SENATE
Foreign Relations Committee Roasted.
TiIImAn MAaes Speech On Phil
lpplne Policy.

After some routine business in the
senate, Monday, Mr.. Mason, of Hi.
nois, rising to question of personal
privilege, had read an interview pur-
porting to have been held with the
British consul at New Orleans, in
which the Illinois senator was criti-
cised for his speech in sympathy with
the Beers. Mr.. Mason severely criti-
cised the British government, not the
people, saying that not one-tenth of
the English people favored the pres
ent war in South Africa aud that 95
per cent of the people of this country
| sympathized with the Beers.
He said that it was not the first
time British diplomats had interfered
in American politics, and he desired to
have attention called to this matter
now before it could injure the present
administration as it had injured Mr..
Cleveland.
Mr.. Lodge said he did not think tho
diplomatic or consular officer of any
government had the right to criticise
senator or a representative or any Of
1cer of the government. Mr.. Lodge
said the gallant fight the Beers were
making stirred the heart of every man.
Mr.. Mason criticised the foreign re-
latiOns committee for taking no action
upon the resolution of sympathy.
Mr.. Mason then resumed his criti-
cism of England. He said England
had made the war for the purpose of
getting the rich mines of South Africa.
Mr.. Plat, of Connecticut, said at
the close of Mr.. Mason's speech that
he wished to enter his protest against
''the abuse of free speech on the floor
of the senate"
Mr.. Pettigrew, speaking on q reso-
luton relating to contraband of war,
said that the doctrine that beligerent
might seize foodstuffs even if it paid
for them, would mean that in case of
war between our two best customers,
our trade with both would be des-
troyed.
AT As p. m. Mr.. Tillman, of South
Carolina, took the floor and made a
speech on the Philippine question. 1t
was a vigorous denunciation of the
administrations Philippine policy.
He denied that the blood of the SOL
dlers in the Philippines was upon
those who favored Imperialism. The
president of the United States, by ne
gotiating tho treaty of peace and
buying the Filipinos. and those
senators who assisted in ratification of
the trea'y were responsible for the
present war Mr. Tillman said that
the United STAB cannot govern any
territory that Dnot belong to the
United States, and where our flag
floats the constitution and the princi-
pies Of the declaration of independence
must be in force.

Brothers Made No Defense.

The circuit court at Jacksonville
was crowded when the highly
sensational trial of the three
Hewitt brothers, Moss, Lum and
Dick, was commenced. The men
were indicted by the grand jury for
the murder of their brother-in-law, j.
T. johnson, whose body was found In
Scott creek, on New River, few miles
from Lake Butler, tied up in a croker
sack with heavy weight attached to
the body, with bo1car coupler tied
to a rope. The huge piece OF iron was
produced in conrt, and pieces OF the
gun supposed to have been broken
over the head of the murdered man.
Two of the three hewitt brothers
seemed unconscious of the fact that
they were on trial for their lives, and
chewed gum, laughed when the sttor-
neys tilted and enjoyed the session as
though it were q huge joke. Dick
Hewitt was the only one who seemed
to take the matter seriously, aud he
watched the case md the effect OF the
evidence upon the jury very closely.
Had bombshell fallen in the court
room on the second day of the trial,
the surprise could hardly have been
greater than when Attorney John 4.
Hartridge, for the defense. announced:
'The defense will introduce no wit
nesses." The announcement was
quickly followed by Judge Call direct
ing the sheriff to take the three pris-
oners into custody. They were at
once taken in charge and placed in the
Duvai county Jail.
