Webster Davis, former assistant secretary
OF the interior, the crowd manifested its
enthusiasm by cheering for two minutes.
The former republican leader assembled the
platform and stood facing the thousands of
spectators. -
The speech of Mr.. Davis was arranged
in order to enable him to announce his al
legiance to the democratic party and the
platform. and to the ticket of the conven-
ton. .aC
In dramatic style and with all the force
and magnetism of,a fine orator, Mr.. Davis
began his address. He denounced as a
malicious lie" the statement that he had
been forced to leave his office in the pres
ent national administration. He pictured
In brilliant and flaming sentences the
-cruelties' and aggressions practiced by
Great Britain upon the. Beers of South
Africa. He expressed his intense salts
faction that the democratic party had in
corporated in the platform plank so cor
daily and enthusiastically indorsing the
cause of the Beers, which was the cause
o. liberty and justice. AS he felt, he said
that this great republic should not chain
Itself to the chariot wheels of the empire
that was crushing liberty to death in
South Africa, he believed 1t to be his duty
to ally himself with the democratic party.
His account with the republican party
he regarded as fully balanced. He owed it
no further obligations. These sentiments
met with much applause
In conclusion, in announcing his inten-
ton of supporting the. democratic party
and its ticket, Mr. Davis said with great
emphasis: Il stand upon this platform and
shall support w. ]. Brennings" 1t was a
curious and laughable confusion of the syl-
tables of Bryan's name. But the crowd
knew what he meant and cheered him
wildly.
AS Mr.. Davis concluded the bard struck
up Hail to the Chief"

There WAS a good representative
audience in attendance at the meet

The male quartet composed Of
Messrs. Oliver, Wintermantel, Oliver,

The text was John 3:3: @Verily,

be born again, he cannot sec the king.

ton Of the text, answering objections
raised by many classes.
For instance the objection raised
by some, @Being born again is not in
harmony with nature" MIR. divers
physical exposition nc well as politi-
cal was concise and to the point.
The strong point in the sermon
was the three trains at the great de-
! pot.
Mother on the Gospel train, the
young man walking about to view
the trains. His mother pleads that
he get on the gospel train with her.
Leaving time finds him near the NOR.
al train. He springs on board and is
fascinated by the company at last
they reach Decision Junction where
the moral train is coupled to the
train for the City OF Destruction. He
fails to change and board the gospel
train. After passing on he is aston
ish to see the grossest OF evils in the
once moral train. He asks the con
ductor about it and finds that Decis-
ion junction was the place for him to
board the gospel train, but he has
passed that station to return no more.
He shrieke, and for an instant he
looks and the Gospel train has reach
ed the city of Peace. Mother and
friends are there. The young man
cries, "My God, what have 1 done?'
The conductor tells him to DO calm
and take his defeat like n man. but
there is no consolation in that.

Reform In Dancing Suggested.

Young and frivolous persons OF the
dancing world will be under obliga.
tons to Rev. MIR. Scudder OF jersey
City, who has prepared an interest
ing, il not convincing, argument i'll
favor of the agreeable diversions OF
the ballroom. The reverend gentle
man goes to Scripture for the basis OF
his plea, citing Miriam and other He
brew s%altatorial artists ill support OF
his position, referring to the dancing
at the feast In honor OF the return OF
tho prodigal son, and reminding us
that ut the marriage in Cana OF Cali
lee "our Lord looked upon the dane
ing Of the young people with a favor
ing SMILE We recall the fact That
the Lord saw to 1t that there WIS nm
abundance OF wine at the marriage in

any references to dancing or to tie

Herewith. However, we do not pro.
pose to discuss the matter with a gem
tlemRn who may have other sources
OF information than the Gospel ac-
cording to St. John. 1t seems to US
that tho dancing as performed by
Miriam differed materially from tho
modern waltz or two.step, but this is
another phase Of the question We are
willing to dodge.

She Didn't Call on Miss Grace Dodge

She Didn't Call on Miss Grace Dodge
Again.
A woman newspaper reporter, who is
now a well-known author, once called
upon Miss Grace Dodge, the million
aire organizer and head of the New
York Working Girls Clubs, who is also
the author of ga Bundle of Letters to
Busy Girls" says the Philadelphia
Post. The servant looked sympathet-
ically at the reporter, invited her into
the house, took away her wet rubbers
and shoes and brought dry ones, an
act which filled the visitors heart with
Joy. Then she brought cup of tea and
some biscuit After long wait Miss
Dodge came in. Are you reporter"
she asked the newsgatherer. Yes?
1 am very sorry you should have come
up here this rainy day to see me. You
know I never talk about my plans for
publication, but we can have just as
nice a time talking about books and
pictures Won't you have another cup
of tea? Must you be going? l am
very sorry. Wait a minute and have
the coachman drive you to your office
or your home. Come up some day when
we can have more time, and I'll tell
you all about the Working Girls Clubs
but of course you won't print any OF
it." The reporter rode home, but she
didn't call again-at least, not on BUSH
ness.
