A Divinity Student Routed.

"One day we were travelling across the plains In the caboose of freight train," writes Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady of his experiences as "A Mis- sionary In the Great Vest in The La dies Home Journal. "A young divinity student was with us. He was one of the ambitious kind of divinity students who wreck a parish or two when they begin and finally drift upon the eccle- siastical bargain counter. He was ready to argue about anything with anybody. .a.
 "A greasy, dllapidated looking tramp came into the caboose at one of the stations at the end of division and presently engaged In a heated discus sion with the young theologue on the disadvantages of education. He main tained the affirmatiye-that the less a man knew and the less education he had the happier he was-with so much skill and adroitness and showed such mastery of logic and literature that he routed the poor boy-horse. foot and dragoons-so effectively that the young man rose and went out on the platform to hide his chagrin. leaving the sup posed tramp chuckling over his pipe in huge enjoyment at his easy victory.
 "The bishop had listened without say ing a word, and when the student left he turned to the man and inquired sharply. What college do you come from, sirY Yale? answered the man without thinking. The unlucky admis- sion destroyed the mans argument. for he was living example of the fallacy of his own proposition"

EurOne,n City of Crime

The Italian city of Artena. situated about 40 miles from Rome, is known as the City of Crime. Ever since the six teenth century every criminal who has escaped from prison or done his time has emigrated to Artena. and today practically every inhabitant Is criml. nal or the child of criminals. Every family takes the law into its own hands, and it is reported not day passes without many murders being committed in the streets. The Italian authorities have now come to look up- on Artena as hopeless and remark that 1t Is far better that criminals should kill criminals than that innocent per sons should be their victims. It Is said that on one occasion when g murders had been committed In that city in one day the fact was reported In one of the Italian papers in the following terms Since our last issue (24 hours before) there have been g sudden deaths in Artena," and no further notice of the murders was taken or expected.

Many of you have tried the garden of this worlds delight. You have found 1t has been chagrin. So 1t was with Theodore Hook. He made all the world laugh. He makes us laugh now when we read his poems, but he could not make his own heart laugh. While In the midst of his fes- tivities he confronted looking glass, and he saw himself and said: There, that Is true. look just as I am, done up in body, mind and purse." So it was of Shenstone, of whose garden l told you at the beginning of my ser mon. He sat down amid those bowers and said: "I have lost my road to hap piness. I am angry and envious and frantic and despise everything around me just as 1t becomes a madman to do."
 Christ the Only Rest.
 O ye weary souls, come into Christ's garden today and pluck q little hearts easel Christ is the only rest and the only pardon for perturbed spirit. Do you not think your chance has almost come? You men and women who have been waiting year after year for some good opportunity in which to accept Christ. but have postponed 1t, 5, 10, 20, 30 years-do you not feel as If now your hour of salvation had come? O man, what grudge hast thou against thy poor soul that thouswilt not let 1t be saved?
 Some years ago vessel struck on the rocks. They had only one lifeboat In that lifeboat the passengers and crew were getting ashore. The vessel had foundered and was sinking deeper and deeper, and that one boat could not take the passengers very swiftly. A little girl stood on the deck waiting for her turn to get into the beat. The boat came and went, came and went, but her turn did not seem to come. After awhile she could wait no longer, and she leaped on the taffrail and then sprang into the sea, crying to the boat man: Save me next. Save me nextr Oh how many have gone ashore into Gods mercy, and yet you are clinging to the wreck of sin. Others have ac- cepted the pardon of Christ, but you are in peril. Why not this moment make a rush for your immortal rescue, crying until Jesus shall hear you and | heaven and earth ring with the cry: Save me next! Save me next" Now is the day of salvation! Now!

 have not told you of the better tree in this garden and of the better fruit. 1t was planted just outside Jerusalem il good while ago. When that tree was planted, it was so split and bruised and Darked men said nothing would ever grow upon it, but no sooner had that tree been planted than it budded and blossomed and fruited, and the sol diers' spears were only the clubs that struck down that fruit, and it fell into the lap of the nations, and men began to pick it up and eat it, and they found ia it an antidote to all thirst, to all poison, to all sin, to all death, the smallest cluster larger than the famous one of Eshcol, which two men carried on staff between them. If the one apple in Eden killed the race, this one cluster of mercy shall restore.
 Again, the church in my text is ap- propriately called garden because it is thoroughly irrigated. No garden could prosper long without plenty of water. I have seen garden, in the midst of desert, yet blooming and luxuriant. All around was dearth and barrenness, but there were pipes, aque- ducts, reaching from this garden up to the mountains and through those aoue-

 Ask for "Moon Spots" "Not Left, Henry Dutch " and the "Peter Schuyler.

Smith, Lincoln park commits sioner and republican candidate for member of the board of sanitary trus- tees, who was formally charged with dishonorable and dishonest commercial conduct, is being heard in criminal court here today. Both city and state politicians of note are much interested in the outcome, and many of them are in attendance at the hearing. The of fense consists of permitting grain to be shipped out of elevators under his con- trol as manager of the Chicago Eleva- tor company, without canceling the warehouse receipts involved. This is the technical term for charging the theft of hundreds of thousands of bush els of grain.

A MAGNIFIED VICTORY
Surrendered Boers Reduced From 5000 to 1,0G0.- -Baden-Powell In a Tight Corner.-Methuen Con- ducting an Uneventful Fight General Butler at the Head of Three Inactive Divisions.

London, Aug 14.-Lord Roberts later official report with regard to the sur render of Prinsloo takes much of the gilt off the gingerbread, Instead of 5000 men only 9S6 have laid down their arms up to the present. Some of the other commandos decline to come in and sur render, while one or two have made good their escape for the time being. Thus the success. though an important one, Is far less than the first message gave us to understand.
 Certain passages in a Reuter- mes sage suggest that the surrendered Boers are to be allowed to go to their homes with one horse each. In view of the great need of seasoned horses in our army, we can only hope that this impression is incorrect. It Is distinctly at variance with the message of ou> Pretoria correspondent.
 The situation in the western Trans vaal is still very doubtful. Lord Me thuen has had fighting without gaining any definite success. General Baden Powell appears to be in tight corner near Rustenburg. if he is not actually besieged in that place. In the east Gen. eral Butler has three whole divisions inactive along the Natal railway.

In 1860 in connections with Messrs. Hopkins, Stanford and Crockcr, he ma tured the scheme of a transcontinental railroad. The Central Pacific company was organized. After congress had agreed to aid the enterprise by an issue of bonds MT. Huntington and his asso- ciates carried on the construction out of their private means until the bonds became available by the completion of a stipulated mileage. In addition to this undertaking, Mir. Huntington planned and perfected the whole Cali fornia railroad system which extends over 10000 miles of steel track, built an Atlantic system, which by the Southern Pacific and the Chesapeake 6 Ohio railway extended from the ex- treme northwest coast to Newport News and developed 16,900 miles of steamship lines, including the route to China and Japan. Upon the death of President Stanford, MT. Huetington succeeded to the presidency of the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific, and at his death held a controlling in terest in both. MT. Huntington leaves no immediate family. An adopted daughter Miss Clara Huntington, mar ried Prince Hatzfeldt. The prince and princess, in company with MT. Hunt ington, visited Phoenix about six years ago. Early in the summer MT. Hunt ing passed through the territory and replying to a telegram from the board vbf trade, expressed his regret that ur- gent business in the east prevented him from again visiting the city.

THE AUNTIEs ASSEMBLED
There Is No Talking of Nominating a
 National Ticket.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 14.-The ad- vance workers of the national conven- tion of the American anti-imperialist league, which meets here tomorrow, have arrived in the city. The officers of the league have had headquarters here for several days and today they were joined by a number of delegates. They claim that they represent a large majority of those opposed to the eX- pansion policy of the national admins tration. Talks with those already on the field indicate that there is no prob ability of the convention nominating a national ticket.
 Tt is well recognized by all people, ' said one of the league officers today, whether. they be republicans or demo- crats, that this convention will repre- sent the real anti-imperialistic move ment. It is equally well known that the so-called national party, recently launched in New York city, is but a willy scheme to divide the anti-imperi- aIist vote. This accounts for the unan- imity with which the anti-imperialists everywhere have paid little or no att tention to the New York movement and indoIsed the Indianapolis convention. We are confident of an attendance fully as great as the capacity of Tomlinson hall. in which the sessions of the con vention are to be held"
 Many speakers of prominence are scheduled to address the convention, but so far the number of arrivals is not up to the expectations of those in terested in the movement. The officers of the league, however, declare that there will be a good attendance of dele gates when the convention is called to order tomorrow.
 The leading features of the platform which will probably be adopted are as follows:
 The republican party is conducting an indirect attack upon the institutions of our country. At home, it corrupts the public morals by selling public of fees and special privileges to the high est contributors to party assets; abroad it wages d wicked war of conquest in violation of the principles ef the decid- ration of independence.
 ''The democratic party is conducting a direct attack upon the institutions of our country. It advocates dishonest money and threatens the integrity of the judiciary.
 No man serves well his country who joins in either of these attacks. Party to neither, therefore, but opponents of both, we pledge our honest efforts to the following ends:
 ''First-Independence and protection to the inhabitants of Cuba, the Philip pine Islands. Porto Rico and Hawaii.
 ''Second-A single gold standard and a sound banking system.
 ''Third-The abolition of all special privileges.
 "Fourth-A public service based on merit only.
 This platform was practically decided upon when the call for the convention was issued. The republicans and demo- crats both claim that the nomination of d third ticket will aid materially in the election of their respective candidates. The convention is a sort of mass meet ing of all persons dissatisfied with the two old parties.

TAMMANY AFTER TREASURY.

New York, Aug. 14.-The hearing of the injunction case of the Manhattan Elevated railway against the park commission, which was postponed un- til today. is causing a fierce fight. It is argued that the park commission. at the instance of the politicians who want to be ''seen," has ordered the ele vated structure from Battery park, where all the ferries land. The railway has occupied this park for about twenty years without interference. It will greatly influence the public if it is removed. Great interest centers in the outcome.
