HIS FINAL SERMON.
Society Women Neglect Chris
tian Education For Whist.

The Rev. Charles NJ Sheldon return
ed at noon today from his vacation"
in Chicago. where for a month he has
been preaching in the South COngrega-
tional church to enormous crowds.
Mr.. Sheldon states that he has en-
joyed his Chicago experiences. and has
attained the object for which he visited
the big city. He was there principally
for the purpose OF studying life in the
metropolis of the west preparatory to
writing a story about it for his con-
gregations the coming winter.
Mr. Sheldon's success as a. preacher
in Chicago was phenomenal The Chi
cago papers always printed lengthy &C
counts of his sermons, and told Of his
work with the various societies Of the
church. On Sundays, the great church
where he preached was always filed to
the utmost limits of its capacity. Mr..
Sheldon was the ministerial lion" of
Chicago while he stayed there.
Mr. Sheldon's latest sermon in CHS
cago was preached Sunday on the sub
ject of commercial greed in great cit
les.
No nation can live unless the people
are righteous" declared the preacher
and the United States will decay I'M
less a reform shall be made in the ex-
isting condition In speaking of the
moral decadence of nations DR. Shell
don held England up as an example of
a country that is about to lose its DOW
er on account of the degeneraoy of a
large proportion of its population.
Is it not true that the great cities
of this republic are all under the
charge of commercial greed standing
in the way of the fear of God and the
acknowledgment of his ownership?'' he
asked Il have been told by some of
the most thoughtful men in this CITY
Taen who would be the last to malign
or misinterpret the moral character of
the place where they live, that evils
exist here that could not for one mo-
ment be endured if the men of Chicago
loved and feared God more than they
love money and feared its loss
Suggestions for improvements in the
social condition We're made by Dr.
Sheldon In the increase in the number
of Christian homes and of Sunday
schools he saw hope for the people of
this country. While speaking of Chris
tan homes he took care to criticise the
society women. He declared that they
We're neglecting the Christian educa-
ton Of their children in order that they
might engage in progressive whist par
ties and other forms of amusement
Playing cards for prizes, he said was
akin to rambling
In the evening DR.. Sheldon conducted
the services at the young peoples meet
ing and afterward read pages of a
story dealing with the evils of the
liquor traffic.

New York, July 30.-The bull interests
are holding the market in check and there
is no promise of any revival of activity
until after the steel strike is definitely
settled and the full extent of the crop
damage is known. The bears have ceased
to be aggressive and appreciate the
change in conditions and the profits are
to be made by buying stocks on any de-
clines. The soaking rains in the west
assures a crop of forage and the inn
provement to corn will reduce damage es-
Inmates. Several deals will be taken in
hand after the steel strike is out of the
way, and indications point to a revival
of bullish sentiment after the middle of
August In the meantime profits should
be taken on quick rallies and stocks
bought on recessfons. The grangers
should do better and develop in connec-
ton with Peoples Gas and Anal gamated
Copper should do better. Pick up Union
Pacific on any recession. Hold the trac-
lions. The coal stocks should be bought
on any decline for profits next month.
Wheat has been unduly depressed and is
cheap, but corn is a sale on all rallies.

DEFENDERS DISAPPOINTED.
They Expected Governor Stanley to
Remit Mrs Nations Fine.
DIR. Eva Harding said today:

DR.. Eva Harding said today:
Mrs. Goodwin and myself were left
under the impression after our visit to
Governor Stanley that he would remit
Mrs. Nations fine, if the county COM
nissioners would remit the costs,
amounting to $48.30. He afterward de-
MED saying that he would do so,and that
the agreement of the county commits
siOners to let her pay the fine and costs,
$148.30, was good enough, and the jail
sentence was all he ever intended to
RENTS We know positively that he told
us he would do as much for. Mrs. Ma
ton as he did for the other women con-
cerned, but he says not. He shortened
that was sufficient lenience for one
time.
1.-THE governor consumed the greater
part of all our interviews in Mrs. Ma
TONS behalf. asking where the host of
supporters of Mrs Nation were and
why they didn't pay her fine by popular
subscription if they wanted her out SO
bad
Now if he didn't intend to remit her
fine, why was he so anxious to know
what the costs were. and tell US to call
again after ascertaining the direct
amount? IF he only intended to remit
the jail sentence, why shOult- the costs
bother hirn2 We would have never gone
to him to remit the jail sentence only.
Mrs. Nation can better afford to stay
in jail 20 days than to pay $14S in
money!

Des Moines, "a. July sO.-The Iowa

official report on the condition of the
corn crop in the state of Iowa this

ports of three hundred and six CORES
pondents. With reference to corn the
report states:
The extent of damage to the corn
crop can not be determined until the
effects OF moisture and moderate tenn
perature are made apparent. The re-
ports were generally maintained on the
27th, before the drouth was broken, and
the estimates as to the amount of dam

New York, July Soft today's confer
ences between the labor leaders in the
Amalgamated association and represen-
tatives of the Steel company results in
the calling off of the strike, an important
element of disturbance and loss will be
removed from the business situation.
The progress that has apparently been
made in the direction of the settlement
indicates that much of the bitterness
which often attends the ending of a la
Dor contest will not exist in this in
stance. At the same time it is clear
that the companies Will not sacrifice any
principle necessary to safely conduct
their business and to maintain the con
fidence on the part of consumers and
stockholders, the latter with respect to
the protection of the stockholders inter
ested by the officials who are elected to
serve them
OF course both the company. and the
men have lost some millions of dollars by
this unnecessary contest. but it is the ex-
perience of the steel and iron industry
that there is generally more or less loss
in business and wages attendant upon the
annual signing of the scale of wages.
There is some offset to this in the fact
that the men have reserved necessary va
cation in the hottest part Of the hot spell
and that certain repairs and cleaning up
have been done by the mills which it
would have been impossible to do with
the plants fully at work.
