ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN
MOUNTS ADDRESS AT
WOODRUFF PLACE BAPTIST.
Intemperance and the Cigarette Hab-
it Pointed Out ms Drawbacks to
Business Career.

Governor Mount last night addressed a
large audience at the Woodruff Place Bap-
fist Church, his topic being Civic Right
eousness Among Young Men," His re-
marks were attentively heard by a large
number of young men and boys. Governor
Mount took the position that the young
men are the hope of the country and
pointed out the undeniable fact that in
these days men of temperate habits are
required i'm the different lines of business.
In the railroad office and in the bank men
who are free from dissipation are the kind
that are wanted. Responsible positions de-
mand strong young men-men of clean
character.
Governor Mount said it was the duty Of
young men to be interested in politics.
They should attend conventions and see
that men of high character are nominated
and elected. The Governor spoke of the
bookkeeper, who looted the Newport. KY,
bank, as an instance of the fast young
man who cannot make money enough
legitimately to supply the expenses of his
dissipated and Incorporate life. Governor
Mount also talked to the youths in the
audience of the evils of the cigarette habit.
giving some pointed illustrations that have
come under his observation. He spoke of
talented young men who have been wrecked
in their early teens by the use of cigarettes.
He said the army surgeons who examined
soldiers for the Spanish-American war
claimed more young men were rejected
because Of tobacco heart" than for any
other cause.
Governor Mount urged boys and young
men to be students of Gods word and to
walk in the light of His unerring council
He said he had found in his varied ex-
arfr IT, 80 e-DlI fr1er
man and in official position, that Gods law
was his safest guide. He urged the young
men who heard him to take that law las 4
lamp to their feet and light to their path

with a few exceptions the parts are well
sustained. The scene of the play Is laid
in an Ohio town, and the story is that OF a
prodigal son who is falsely accused OF
murder and is afterward tried before his
father, who is the trial judge of the baili-
wick, found guilty and sentenced TO be
electrocuted. The father OF the accused is
in the meantime elected Governor, and the
attorney for the son applies for a pardon,
which Is denied. Shortly before the pris-
oner Is 10 be electrocuted the real muir
derer confesses the falsely accused son OF
the Governor is liberated and marries the
girl who has brought about his saliva
ton.
The third and last acts are particularly
strong in dramatic situations. The third
act is the courtroom scene in which the
son Is tried before the father, and the i'm
personation of the judge by John Phillips,
afterwards Governor of Ohio, IS more than
credtable. His portrayal of strife be-
tween love and duty Is much the best piece
does not lose any of its force in the last
act when he IL called upon to deny his
sons application for pardon. Others ia
the cast worthy OF mention are Wallace
Hopper in the part of Daniel Webster
Wills, farmer and lawyer; Billy Pickerel,
the blind fiddler; Joseph Graham as Sher-
If Higgins, of Greene county, Ohio, and
Charlotte Eveleth, in the part of Charity
Smith, a waif from the poor farm in love
with Jack Phillips, the falsely accused son
of the Judge. The talent displayed by the
others Is mediocre.

AT THE MOURNERS' BENCH
YOUNG MAN AND HIS FIANCEE KNELT
THERE TOGETHER.
They Were Congratulated by Evang-
elist Harrison-Large Attend
ance mt the Meeting.

The revival services at Roberts Park
NJ E. Church were better attended last
night than usual, there being scarcely
vacant seat in the church. The meeting
was characterized by it's religious fervor,
which seemed to be prevalent throughout
the entire congregation. After a forcible
exhortation Mr.. Harrison descended from
the pulpit and made a personal plea to
many of those present to forsake the ways
of sin and give themselves to a Christian
life. He was eminently successful, for
between fifteen and twenty people knelt
at the mourners' bench and there were two
or three professed conversions.
Among the latter were a young man
and his fiancee, who have been attending
the meetings ever since Mr.. Harrison has
been at the church. When the two young
people arose from the mourners' bench
their faces were wreathed in smiles, and
Mr.. Harrison peremptorily stopped the
song which was being sung at
the time and warmly congratu-
lated them on their new-found happiness
According to his custom Mr.. Harrison told
the congregation of many experiences
which had befallen him during his long
service as an evangelist, and among others
related the following:
'In a New England city where 1 was
holding a great revival meeting there
was. on the part of several of the regular
attendants. at the meetings, a disposition
to doubt not only the sincerity of the con-
versions but the numbers that were said
to come to the mOurnerS' bench in the
search of salvation. Among them was
one man who said he intended to set his
doubts at rest on the subject by cutting
a notch in a stick for every person who
came forward to the mourner's bench.
True to his word he brought his stick with
him, but before the meeting was out so
many had come forward that he turned
to one of his companions, and throwing
his stick away, exclaimed, BY gosh.
everybody in the church is going, and I
am going with Them" That man, Mr..
Harrison said, was none other than man

DIR. VAN DYKE HEARD.


The first meeting of the Irvington Athe-
naeum, the new literary club. was held last
night at its hall at Butler College, with
DR.. Henry Van Dyke, of Princeton, as
guest of honor. DR.. Van Dyke arrived
yesterday morning, making this his only
stop in the State. On his Western trip DR..
Van Dyke will lecture only at a few cities
Yesterday afternoon from 8 to o'clock
he was given a reception at the college
residence by Professor and Mrs. Forrest
and the young ladies of the residence.
Quite number Of students availed them
selves of the opportunity to meet DR.. Van
Dyke. In the evening President and Mrs.
Scot Butler entertained DIR. Van Dyke at
dinner. Among those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles w. Moores, Mr.. and Mrs. J..
ID. Forrest, Mr.. Will Howe, Miss Carrie
Howe and Miss Ethel Cleland.
DR.. Van Dyke was formerly pastor of
the Brick Church, Brooklyn. At present
he is professor of bellies letters in Princeton
University. Last night he was introduced
to the club members by President Butler
with a few well chosen words. The SUBJ
ject of the address, 'Tennyson, with par
ticular reference to his message to the
nineteenth century,, was comprehensively
treated, and the speakers recollection of
his personal intercourse with the great
poet, having spent several days with him
at Aldworth just before the poets death,
gave added interest to the theme. The
speaker dwelt on the characteristics of the
great poet, his love OF beauty in form, his
keen appreciation of and his fidelity to ma
ture. He showed how fine and how true
were all his instincts, how noble his regard
for woman, how fine his sense of right,
how Just his patriotism, how large his love
of humanity. DIR. Van Dyke speaks from
thorough acquaintance with his subject
and from personal knowledge of the poet.
Last night he illustrated his discourse
throughout with copious quotations. so
aptly chosen and so feelingly pronounced
as to reveal beauties and even
deeper meanings in passages that had
long been familiar TO Tennysons admirers.
DR.. Van Dyke held his audience not only
by the brilliancy and deep feeling Of his
words, but also by his charming personality
and excellent delivery.

Dr. Lieber the Centrist leader, expressed
approval of the statements of the chancel-

eminent, including the Anglo-German
agreement and the maintenance of friend

disregard which the government had shown
for the constitutional rights of the Reichs-
