ADVOCATES CHURCH MOVING.

Downtown Houses of Worship Should

Rev. DR.. Ezra S. Triple Believes
Downtown Houses Of Worship Should
| Follow the People Northward
New York April 16.-Rev, DR.. Ezra s.
Triple pastor of St. James Methodist
church at Madison avenue and 10th
street, brother of Rev. B. M. Triple
lately pastor of Epworth M. e. church.
New Haven. thoroughly agrees with
Presiding Elder Pullman's recommen-
dation that the older down town
churches should move up town, where
their sphere of usefulness would be
greatly enlarged.
1T is simply a question" said Mr..
Triple to-day, "of leaving a field where
the opportunities are small for one
where the opportunities are great. I do
not see why a church should not follow
the movements of church going people
just as business houses follow the trade
to which they cater.
"Of course, sentiment is against it..
People do not like to see the church
they have attended for many years give
way to the advance Of business inter
ests, any more than they like to see
the homestead III WHICH lIey were DOM
torn down. Owing to the adverse con-
ditions prevailing down town, 1 am in
favor of consolidating some of the
churches into one society and selling
their houses of worship whose useful
ness are on the wane, and building new
ones up town. The only exceptions I
would make would be a few churches
whose historical associations are such
as to make them indispensable to the
city. All the others could very we'll be
sold minister naturally, prefers to
see large congregation before him on
Sundays. He can do better work when
he is thus encouraged. The minister of
down town church is not to blame be-
cause the encroachments of trade have
driven his congregation to fields up
town.
IT think that DR.. Eckman is right
when he advocates to a church moving
uptown the desirability of seeking a
strategical location. AS the city keeps
on growing northward the churches
should see to it that the spiritual wants
of these neighborhoods are not neglect
ed. Another thing. | believe that a
church located on some busy thorough
fare, like Seventh avenue, can draw
larger congregations and do better and
more effective work than one situated
on some less frequented side street. A
church on Madison or Lexington ave-
nue., in the same way, Is more of a pow
er for usefulness than one located on
a side street. Circumstances, of course,

MIR. wIIEELER's ADDRESS.
An Interesting Talk Given in the His

An Interesting Talk Given in the His
torical Society Hall Last Night.
James e. Wheeler gave very inter
esting and instructive lecture in the
Historical society hall last night on
1.-THE British in South Africa" A large
audience heard Mr.. Wheeler, who talked
entirely without notes, giving most
accurate account of the British doings
in South Africa since their first coming
in that country in 1906, when they land
ed 1000 strong under Sir David Baer.
Mr.. Wheeler told of the struggles OF
1.-the Dutch, their customs and govern
ment since the landing of the British,
and how they have gradually been
crowded from the southern most part
of the continent to their present posi-
ton.
He said the Beers have always been
distant people and cared little Tor the
interests of civilization, that they were
born fighters and when stirred up, as
Is being illustrated at the present time,
they never stop until utterly beaten
All the Boer reverses for half CEN
fury, the lecturer said, have been met
with most determined stand against
great odds, and they have not surren-
dered once until completely overpower-
ed
Mr. Wheeler told Of the discovery of
the Kimberley mines in 1869 and the
trouble they have made for all nations
since that time, and related other in
terestiug events.
At the conclusion of the talk Secre-
tary Henry r. Blake spoke of the clear
way in which the history of South AT
RIGA had been related by the speaker,
and said he felt sure that every one
present was greatly benefited by the
address. Mr.. Blake moved that the
thanks OF the society be extended to
Mr.. Wheeler for his very interesting
and instructive address. The motion
was passed.
Rev. e. S. Lines, who presided at
the meeting announced that at the
next meeting Colonel e. E. Sill would
read paper entitled "A Forgotten
Paragraph of Connecticut"
At the conclusion of the meeting a
reception was held in the rooms of the
society.

Stories of Chinese Crue1ties.

BERLIN, Nov. 2S.-Several papers print letters from German soldiers in China describing cruelties practiced by the Chinese upon white prisoners. It ap- pears that the limbs of the German lieu tenant Friedrichs and of two Italians were severed one by one until the tor tured victims were dead. "Thus,' says one of the letters, 'eyery white prisoner is treated by the Chinese" Meanwhile official confirmation has arrived here of the report that Count von Waldersee has taken special steps to prevent any more letters of this nature being printed here. The field marshal has issued q general order threatening to punish severely the writers of letters containing war news whose recipients allow them to be printed.

It is doubtful if any stage production has been accorded so much and such varying praise as has this. New York.

ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Secretary Root and General MiIci
 Submit Plnus.

& WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-A subcom mittee of the house military committee consisting of Chairman Hull and Repre- sentatiyes Brownwell, Capron and Mon dell. went into session yesterday with a draft of bill representing the ideas of the secretary of war and with a copy of a bill prepared by Lieutenant General Miles. Both bills provide for an army of about 100000 men. The secretary's. though, is on an elastic basis, providing for a minimum of 50,000 men.
 General Miles recommends an effective fighting force of 76,T30 men and DOGS ''noncom mbatants," to be organized into two army corps of six divisions, IS brig ades and 54 regiments. In addition the president is to have discretionary power to enlist an auxiliary force of 2O,OO0 whenever in his c.}inion such force is necessary.
 Chairman Hull at the conclusion of the conference, said that the bill to be pre- sented to congress would, in his opinion very closely follow the lines of the Hull bill as offered at the last session. The maximum, he thought would be 96,OO0 men, and taking into consideration the necessary increase in the coast artillery defense the minimum would not be less than 5S,000 men. He thought there would be some changes in the provisions for the staff, as outlined in Secretary Roots bill of last session.

Anti British Feeling In Cape Colon. Increased by False Reports of Barbarities-A Grave
 

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-The war office publishes the following dispatch from Lord Roberts, dated Johannesburg, Nov 2G:
 '.As reports of a plot against my life will probably reach you, l think yor should know the facts. It is my belief that there was a plot in existence, anG five Italians, four Greeks and a French man were arrested Nov. 16 and are now awaiting trial. Their intentions were te explode a mine under St. Mary's church during the morning service, held at Il o'clock, on Nov. 1S.''
 The Daily Mail publishes this morning the following alarmist dispatch from Cape Town:
 ''The anti-British feeling in Cape Col ony is assuming dangerous proportions owing to false stories spread of British barbarity in Orange River Colony and the Transvaal. Loyalists fear that the Dutch congress next week, will be the signal for rising, and they demand that martial law be proclaimed throughout the colony.
 '"The situation is declared to be graver than at any previous period during the war"
 Referring editorially to its Cape Town advices, The Daily Mail adopts a most serious tone, asserting that the anti-Brit- ish movement is accentuated by the with drawal of troops from Cape Colony and calling for vigorous action by the British government.
 The Paris correspondent of The Daily Mail wires that he had a conversation with AIr. Kruger yesterday and that the Boer statesman grew excited and vehe. ment when the reporter hinted that Eng land would ignore all attempts to secure arbitration and would fight any combina- tion of powers rather than give up the republics.
 MT. Kruger insisted" says the core spondent that MT. Chamberlain had signed The Hague convention and could not withdraw. He said that England had earned q just punishment and thai if there was a God she would be pun ished."
 The Vienna correspondent of The Dali ly Chronicle says he hears that President Kruger has petitioned the powers for arbitration under The Hague convention, that two powers acceded to his request, but that all the others rejected the peti- tiOn
