At the jackson street Baptist church
last evening. the pastor. Rev. Thomas
de Gruchy, y. D., gave very force
ful and timely sermon on "The Past.
Present and Future" His text was
taken from Philippians iii, 13: "Breth-
rem, I count not myself to have appre.
hended, hut this one thing l do. for
getting those things which are behind.
and reaching forth unto those things
which are before" During the course
of his remarks the speaker said:
II would have you leave the past
behind. II is good only az the ex-
periences received will give YOU n new
impetus. and wiser and reader
grasp tn the opportunities which will
be afforded by the nev year There
Is no greater loss to any soul than a
lost opportunity. Therefore. let MS b.
wise and redeem the time. Turn
from the past with confidence in the
future. We are in danger of ever
living in the past. To some 1t Is Il
chronic disease The PAST was more
glorious. more sunny. hut II is only
SO to the man who fails to seize right
hold on present opportunity.
THE man who makes failure in
back in past dates for his inspiration.
We are not TO live in the past but
rather upon it. We may. by dreaming
of the things that might hav" been,
make tho divine gift Of memory n
reproach rather than an inspiration.
Our life Is an evolution toward ripe
ness: the blossoms are only the germs
Of future development producing
something better than themselves ac.
cording to the character of the tree.
There are good many things In
the past 1t Is hest to forget. Forget
your blundcrs and mistakes: forget
your successes. for you cannot rest
on your laurels there arc greater vic
tories to be won. AS for your failures
you cannot help Their, now: improve
the present opportunity and pass on

night approached they grew more rest less. The thought of separation was unbearable.
 The husband of the woman will ar rive in the city this morning. It is said that he has relented since he put the law in motion and his wife is hope ful that he will withdraw his complaint or do something to get her out of the trouble When the arrest was made and she learned that he had furnished the information leading to it, she pro- posed to counter on him by causing him to be arrested on a charge of non- support.
 A gentleman who has known Mrs. Binford since she was a very small Miss McComas and has known much of her since, says that she was a good little girl. a good young woman, though inclined to be giddy. and would no doubt have made a good wife w,th proper encoura cement.

GOING HOME TO VOTE.
An Exodus of Government Officials and
 Clerks.

Washington, Nov. 3.-If the voters throughout the country take as much interest in the election next Tuesday as do the government officials and de- partment clerks here there will be an unusually large vote cast. Indications are that the railroads running out of Washington will within the next forty eight hours carry more voters to their homes in the different states than has been the case for a decade past.
 Apathy is unknown in Washington, the interest in the result being so great Lhat all government employees who have the voting privilege in their home states and who can possibly be spared will join the exodus which began to- day. The railroads have generally made a comparatively low rate for voters, and the state associations. after four years of inactivity, have worked en- ergetically this week preparing for the departure of the ballot casters. It is estimated that fully 5000 residents of the national capital are going home to vote. which is nearly twice as many as took part in the election of 1898.

NEW YORK DEMONSTRATION
Slightly Marred by Unfriendly Demo,
 cratic Weather.

New York, Nov. S.-The morning of the big republican parade undar the auspices Of the Business Mems asso- citation and Sound Money as5ociation opened w1-h a cold rain falling and the streets in bad condition for the narchers. Nevertheless at 9:S5 Roose- welt entered an open baroucha at the head of the procession and the great parade began to mOVs. The streets M5re beautifully decorated with an enormous num1r of American flags bearing the names of Mckinley and Roosevelt.
 Along the entire line of march, how ever, were tall poles erected by the democrats on which were pictures of Bryan and Stevenson and such in scriptions as The trusts can make you march, but cannot make you vote against Bryan"
 The parade was a great success not withstanding the adverse weather but at 10:3O the big reviewing stand at Madison Square Garden was less than one-third full owing to the soaking rain and lack of preparation for foul weather. Later the sand filled up comfortably, and as the marchers passed with bare heads on which the rain was descending in torrents, they greeted Roosevelt with tremendous enthusiasm, to which the latter re- sponded with vigor.

GERMAN COTTON.

New York, Nov. 3.-The first practi- cal step in the plans of the German government to produce cotton in the German colonies for the purpose Of competition with the American product was taken today when a small party of negro graduates of the Tuskegee in dustrial school sailed from this city en route to Togo, the German colony on the west coast of Africa. The mission of the negroes is to teach the natives how to raise cotton and prepare it for the market. The party is equipped with cotton blows, wagons and tools neces- sary for the constructions of gins, houses. etc. The party is in the pay of the German government.

Chicago. Nov. 3.-Chairman Jones of the democratic national committee fur nished the Associated Press tonight the following statement covering tte outlook from his standpo!nt:
 ''The fight is won. Bryan and Stev' enson will be elected. The democratic majority in the electoral college will b. ample. The democrats will hold all tho states they carried in 1896, with the pos sibe exception of Wyoming. We wit also carry New York, New Jersey Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois The chairman of the state committee of California has just wired me that we p,ill carry that state by 10000 majority In general way I should say tha' there will be some what of a falling off in Bryan's strength, compared With 1896. west of the Mississippi and that east of the Mississippi he will make overW heIming gains"

ALL BUT THE SHOUTING
Hottest Political Campaign on
 Record Practically Ended.
Committeeman and Orators from Now On Will Only Do Enough to Keep Themselves in Condition for Next Tuesday.

Chicago. Nov 3.-Today practically marks the close of the campaign, so far as the national headquarters in Chica- go are concerned and it is safe to assert that the managers of neither party regret the fact. Since the last of July the clerical forces under the direction of Senators Hanna and Jones, chair men of the national republican and democratic committees respectively, have been working at a feverish pace within stones throw of one another, the democratic headquarters being To- cated in the Auditorium, while the re- publicans have directed affairs from quarters in the Annex, on the opposite side of Congress street. During the heated term of July and August and through the pleasanter month of Sep tember and up to the present time, day after day has been spent by the party managers and their assistants in keeping close watch on the trend of the campaign throughout the land.
 No rumor has been regarded as too absurd to run to earth, nor any state,
 
 unimportant when it came to looking after the party interests. The monthly reports of the Chicago pOstoffice dur ing the past three months bear witness to the fact that all records have gone by the board this campaign in regard to the quantities of campaign literature sent out broadcast over the country. At intervals of a few hours big two-hOrse mail wagons have backed up to the Au- ditorium hotel and the Annex each day to be heaped high with mail matter and hurried down Michigan avenue to the postoffice. The quantities of pam phlets, newspapers, circulars. litho- graphs and other form of printed mat ter that have been distributed from nl- tional headquarters can only bc con- js-tured, but those in charge of this branch of the campaign work do not deny that the quantity this year is far in excess of the amount of literature sent out in 1896. But this has not been the hardest nor the most important part of the political campaign man. agers' work.
 The distribution ,of literature has been more or less of a routine task, but that portion of the managers work having to do with the assignment of speakers requires executive ability of high order and unlimited patience Here the itineraries have been mapped out for the western tours of Roosevelt Bryan. Senators Frye. Fairbanks, Bev- eridge, Tillman, Wellington and other speakers whose oratOry has livenad UT the campaign in the central and west ern states. Both parties have aimed to train their heavy artillery on the doubtful states and though more prom inent speakers have been heard on ths stump than ever before the supply has not been found equal to the demand At both headquarters the claim is made today that it is all over but the shouting. Following the great clos ing rallies held throughout the coun- try tonight those who have worked night and day for the past four months in the interest of the success of their party will, like the pugilist on the eve of battle. do only enough work to keeT in condition for the contest.

A CAUTION FROM B0Bs
Hopes a Grateful Nation Won't Get
 His Soldiers Drunk.

London, Nov. 3.-In a dispatch from Pretoria Roberts pays a tribute to the soldiers of the British Empire, saying they behaved like heroes on. the battle field and like gentlemen always. He concludes with an appeal to his coun- trymen not to turn the welcome of the soldiers homecoming into drunken orgies expressing a sincere hope that the welcome will not take the form of treating to stimulants at all which may Head to excesses that will tend to de- grade those whom the nation delights to honor and to lower the soldiers of the queensin the eyes of the world.'

Chicago. Nov. 3.-Henry c. Payne, chairman of the executive committee of the national republican committee, furnished t.ls Associated Press, to- night the following statement, giving the outlook for Tuesday from a re- publican standpoint: Our latest ad- vices from New York are conclusive that the stale will give a large majcr. ity for Mckinley. Local conditions in Greater New York will increase MT. Bryan's vote in that metropolis but we believe that a majority of 100000 for Mckinley fin the state is d most con servative estimate.
 'Lately there has been some Qu:s- ton as to the result Tn Maryland. MT. Bryan's visit to that state proved in furious to his cause and there has been In the last three weeks a great re- Vival of feeling among the sound monay democrats.
 As to Ohio while there will be some losses in Cuyahoga county and in Cleveland and perhaps one or two of the large cities. this will be made up in the rural districts of the state. We predict with the greatest confidence d larger majority in the state than WAS given in 1896.
 Undoubtedly Indiana has been the great battle-ground in the states of the middle west. Every vote has been thoroughly contested. The republi- cans will suffer losses in a few of the larger cfti>s burt there will be gains among the farmers and firs- voters among the young men.
 Tn the Rocky mountain states those on m l- idly for free silver. there has been q revolution in public sentiment and it will not be surprising if all CT nearly all of them reverse their positions of four years ago. It is as certain as any thing can be that Kansas. Wyoming, South Dakota and Washington will be carried by the republicans by de- cisive majority. and the states of Ne braska. Utah and Nevada are more likely to give their votes to -.fcKinley than to Bryan.
 "Tne results of the campaign indi- cate clearly that the administration of President Mckinley will be sus- tained by the people and that he will secure a larger vote than in 1S96 both of the popular vote and in the electoral college" MT. Payne furnishes the

OREGON APATHETIC.

Portland, Ore. Nov. 3.-The campaign in Oregon, which closed tonight, has probably been attended by less en- thusiasm than any national political contest in the history of the state. Political managers of both the demo- cratic ard republican party account for this apathy by the fact that there is no state ticket 70 be elected and the general orinion is that the state will give a plurality for the national re- publican ticket.
