Sherman nourished a warm and strong ambition for this high place, and at one time 1t seemed almost certainty that he would be the candidate of his party for the coveted post. This was in 1880, when James A. Garfield, Sher- mans advocate in the convention, builded so much better than he knew that he him self secured what he sought for his chief
 Four years later too there was a strong sherman sentiment working in the national convention, and again it seemed possible that the Ohio solon would be put in the first place on the ticket but Harrison was selected. It is generally believed that this was the btterest disappointment Sherman ever experienced
 When President Mckinley entered office sherman was made his Secretary of State, and resigned from the Senate, his place in that body going to M. A. Hanna. Soon 6fter the Spanish war came on in 1898, MT sherman, who was then almost a physical wreck, resigned and retired to private life Recently he returned to Washington, where after arranging alT his private affairs, he quietly awaited the end which came today

New York. Aug. 2s.-'I hear from a well
informed source that q serious insurrec-
tion has broken out in Persia which may
in all PROBABILITY cause the Shahs visit
TO Europe to be curtailed,' says a cable

'The object of the revolt is to dethrone
the present Shah. whose fondness for
western ideas mekes him unpopular to
Persians of the old school, and TO place
his brother on the throne.
mo details have reached Paris so far
regarding the extent or success of this
revolutionary movement but telegram

nevertheless, is extremely grave in view

'fie has every confidence that the pre-
cautions I'm view OF such contingency
which the grand vizler took before his
imperial master started on his European
trip will prove sufficient TO cope with
the situation.
The insurrection. however. has been
very carefully planned. for II has taken

there was a moral there and IL should be
applied to 20 church. In fact, he said
the church should be sifted and immoral
practices checked.
Whether that was the body blow or
not. the tact remains Rev. Mr.. Holland
resigned his pastorate last Sunday night.
There were about 1000 persons in the
church and almost as many outside.
SAID HE WOULD OUT.
The pastor got up and announcei that
he was going 10 quit and he would start
a new movement .or church. or sunday
school at 935 Westminster street.
1t will be remembered that a short time
ago there was a meeting at the Epen-

was 81 to %. according TO him.

Mr. Holland also takes exception 10 the
pastors resignation Will be accepted,

"Why." said he, "I hadn't resigned, so
how could they accept my resignation?
ANOTHER GRIEVANCE.
Rev. Mr.. Holland has also another griev-
ance He claims that Edward A. Watts
Is the ring leader of the fight against
him, and that Mr.. Watts, or somebody
else on his side. not only put his fist In
his face, but came near doing him bodily
injury. and would have done so but for
timely interference.
This happened at a previous meeting,
Mr. Holland hasn't gotten over 1t yet.
although he declares he could have put
the man in Jail for IT,
Rev Mr. Holland read statement be-
fore the council called TO consider his
case short time ago and now he has re-
vised and added TO II.
In this statement he sets forth to de-
fend not only. his private character, but
his ministerial character as wells He
also states that the claim that the men,
bership OF the church has dropped from
800 to 30 or 30 is false.

than 200 members when i took hold and
now there are 266'
Besides that. Rev. Mr.. Holland says he

Mrs. Lille d. Chace-wyman of Broad
street, Central Falls, came out this morn
ing with an appeal to the women of
Providence to bring their influence to
bear upon the men OF their families so
that the publication of the Tenderloin
may be made an issue in the municipal
campaign. Mrs. wyman wrote and signed
the statement which appears at the head
of this article. and said she was glad to
make the statement OF her opinion
through The News.
Mrs. wyman is the wife OF the Hon.
John G. Wyman, and representative
Rhode Island woman. As writer and
lecturer she has won recognition far out
side New England. Her writings on So
ciological themes and magazine stories
are well known and her general repu-
tation for clear thinking and wise con-
clusions usually gives her opinions an
authority which decides many women
whose ideas have not been definitely
formed on a question. Mrs. Wyman' s
words will have especial weight I'm this
city. where she has long been prominently
identified with questions of reform or
philanthropy.
In these words. by Mrs. wyman, we
can almost discern the voice OF her
mother (Nirs. Elizabeth Buffum Chace),
who recently passed away. leaving behind
her the memory Of almost century of
beautiful years full to overflowing with
unselnsh devotion TO the interests OF
others and especially TO Rhode Island
women. .saH
Mrs. wyman's appeal r. considered TO
cut out very clearly the line which the
work of the Providence Mothers Club
and the W G. T. ". In attempting TO sup
press protected vice will take.

published In The News Il has been as

Talk about stirring up hornets nest
We'll, say, The News reporter ran into
one. today. when he attempted TO find
out why Rev. William S. Holland pastor
of the Ebenezer Baptist church, saw mt
TO resign last Sunday night.
For several weeks there has been more
or less disaffection among the members of
Mr.. Hollands congregation. and through
the agency OF somebody or other the
newspapers have been supplied with ma
terial 10 keep the agitation up.
Where there - smoke there is fire. ac-
cording To the old adsge. but who has
the most fire in this instance is not ap-
parent up 10 de- ..
Rev Mr.. Holland declares that he is
through with people who either do not
know when they are in the wrong, or.
knowing that they have done wrong. are
not willing to admit IL, and beg pardon,
even though they continue TO do wrong.
SAY PASTOR WAS wRoSG.
on the other hand certain prominent
members of Mr.. Hollands flock declare
that the pastor was in the wrong All
the time and they say that, II given rope
enough, he will hang himself
whichever way the muddle te inmates,
both pastor and congregation hope that
the church will not be disrupted.
SO far as the reporter colii make out
after interviewing several OF the interest
ed parties today, Rev. Mr. Holland has
been a little too sensational 10 suit some
OF his hearers.
For instance, he recently preached
sermon on divorce laws, citing everyday
cases in the newspapers and giving the
number OF divorce cases reported by the
courts Of the different states.
He found that there were very many
too many, In fact-amounting into the
thousands and Providence he stated
among those cities which would not stand
the test. IL Bible and our statute laws
were compared.
But the thing that hurt most, or cut
deepest, according to Rev. Mr. Holland
was a reference 10 men and women who
md out their mistake shortly after mar
riage and then seek the divorce court
here.
Special reference was also made TO the
habit certain men that Mr.. Holland knows
of getting divorces and marrying again.
Evidently Mr.. Holland spoke pretty
plainly upon the subject
ANOTHER DELICATE POINT
The reverend gentleman touched upon
another very delicate point I'm the same
connection, according 10 what he says.
He called attention 10 the many men
who are travelling today who take adj
vantage of and help TO ruin well-bred
women in order that their selfish natures
may be appeased.
Furthermore. Mr.. Holland applied this
