has caused a feeling OF depression here,
since 1t indicates further prolongation of
The war in South Africa, With a probable

that they had promises OF support before

NEW ALDERMANIc MATERIAL.
Politicians Canvassing for Suc-
cessor to Mr. williams

The politicians are specializing upon a
successor TO fill the vacancy in the alder
manic board caused by the acceptance of
the resignation of Alderman Williams,
which will doubtless be acted upon at the
ing about for some one who will be valu-
able in the coming campaign but the
members of the board will see to 1t that
the new member is a desirable acquisi-
zion.
Various names are being suggested. If
the new member is to come from the Bay
Col. Beirne Gordon is looked upon as very
desirable material for aldermanc honors.
Col. Gordon is already member of the
sanitary board. 1t is pointed out, however
that the Bay is already we'll represented
on the present board, while Broughton
street, which gave very hearty support
to the present administration, is without
single representative. This being the
case 1t is not unlikely chat some of the
live business men on that street will be
favored. Messrs. P. T. Foye, ]. w. Jack
son and w. e. Wimpy are among the
number who are regarded as highly eli
gible, all three being active and success
full business men. Mr.. B. H. Levy would
be an easy winner, if he wished the posi-
ton, but Mr. Levy has declared himself
proof against all political honors.
Among others who may be favora bly,
considered are Maj. Edward Karow, who
was associated with Mayor Myers in his
former administration as chairman of the
Police Commission and Maj. w. L. Gray
son, who was similarly associated as
chairman of the Fire Commission Mr.
A. B. Palmer is a popular young business
man, who would not be out of place on the
board. In fact. there is such a supply
of good material that the board will have
no excuse in not filling Mr.. williams
shoes acoeptably.

THE CHOOSING OF a HUSBAND.
Rev. DIR. Graves Matrimonial Advice
to Young women.

An unusually large congregation was at
the First Presbyterian Church yesterday
morning to hear Rev. Or. A. p. Graves
deliver his lecture on The Young Woman
in Her Home, or Choosing a Husband"
DR.. Graves prefaced his lecture with a
short sketch of his present work which
is the medication of Christ in the home as
an active, and kindly friend. who should
be consulted before any of the important
steps of life are taken, not only the i'm
portant steps, but even the most trivial
things.
The young woman in her home. DR.,
Graves said. should know Christ in his
power, in his words. in his fellowship, in
marriage, in council, and in heirship.
hach OF these relationships he took up
separately and defined terrifying his po-
sltlon with quotations from the scriptures
ana Illustrating his meaning by citations
OF instances that had come under his per-
sonal observation during a long and
varied pastoral service. The power of
woman in the home he said, is unques-
TONED, and she should use that power
ana influence by striving to make better
ana happier the home. and, thereby the
world Marriage. he continued, is a dl-
Vlney institution. though many jump into
Il "tilout thinking or It's sacred cnarGc-
ter 1T is a subject for prayer" he said
and ! should as soon think of advising
a young woman to commit suicide as to
marry young man that she has never
seen in prayer
DR.. Graves spoke forci5ly in the con-
domination of the life of gayety led by
numbers of young women, and strongly
advised them TO pay more attention to the
more serious questions of life.
A character founded on Christian prn,
clples may not bring to the possessor the
attentions of the worldly minded, the
ater-going and gayety loving men, but
such as are attracted will be of the kind
that are worth serious consideration.
During the afternoon DR.. Graves adj
dressed meeting on Parental CONVEX
sion. and also spoke before the V N.
Z. A. At night he preached again at tho
First Presbyterian Church on "The Young
Man in His Home
Tonight he will lecture on Hell. Whera
II Is, What 1t Is, and What to Believe
About 1t in the Home"
