At this writing the meetings are being
held in all principal provincial cities, and
the cable brings word that the same con-
dftions found to exist in London obtain in
the provincial cities. England refuses to
be set on fire relisiously. Excitement does
not exist. People not in the habit Of go
ing to church are not drawn in now. The
only exception is found to be where meet
ings are held in public halls. but so mark
ed is this exception that a movement
seems moro than likely to grow out OF
the present effort to have churches in pro-
vincial cities unite in providing halls in
which to hold evangelical services each
season. In the matter OF preachers the
mission is proving that there are among
the regular pastors a large number Of men
possessing qualities usually. demanded IN
the professional evangelists. Qunrrels be-
tween the Free Churches have developed
in n few instances, but in no more than
were to have been expected. Plans nave
been put into operation for bringing the
converts into the churches The next Sc
ries of meetings is to be in the small vi
lagos Of England, but it 1T declared to
be too late to expect that the non-church-
Going element will be touched in any con-
siderable numbers.
The new church propaganda method IS
within the churches, but is not in the

Y. M. c.. a. CAMP, Lake Geneva, Wis,
June 29.-The student conference of the
Western Y. NJ. G. A. will close tomorrow
night. and most of the 500 delegates and
instructors will leave for their homes on
Monday morning. The conference has been
the most successful ever held. both in
point OF attendance and interest. In my
letter a few days ago / told of the object
of the conference and described the re-
ligious exercises. Now, a few words as to
how the delegates amused themselves.
The various meetings ave been held in
the forenoon and at night. having the
whole OF the afternoon for recreation.
Rowing and steamboat riding. of course,
have been the favorite forms of amuse-
ment, partly because the lake is very pref
ty. but mainly for the reason there is no
waste CT energy in sitting in a chair on
a steamer and watching the scenery. Many
of the delegates. however, spent much time
on the athletic field and at the tennis
courts.
Indiana secured a little advertisement
from the sports, when her ball team de-
feated Michigan by a score Of 10 to 3.

DEATH DUE TO HEAT.
Edward J.. Walsh, Sr., Prominent st.
Louis Business Man.

NATION. Ill, june S0.-Edward J..
Walsh. ST.. president OF the Mississippi
Glass Company, and the st. Louis Terminal
Company, and prominently identified with
leading st. Louis enterprises, died at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon from heat prostra-
ton on board the Knickerbocker express, of
the Big Four road between Gays and this
city. Death was totally unexpected. Mr..
Walsh was en- route to Hot Springs. Va,
to recuperate from a severe siege of the
grip. with which he was seized in the early
spring. When Litchfield was reached Mr..
Walsh began to complain OF the heat and
despite every attention grew very i'll. His
pulse mounted to 107, and after Gays was
passed he fell over in a state of collapse.
Ten minutes later this city was reached and
he was conveyed to the Essex Hotel. DR..
Charles b. Fry was summoned and pro-
nounced him past recall. Death had come
a few minutes before the train arrived here
Arrangements were at once made for in
slant removal to st. Louis. and the funeral
party left here at $3.50 p. m.

FROM FORT ETHAN ALLEN.
Another Batch of Evidence About the
Effects of Canteen Closing.
Barre (vt.) Telegram.

Barre (Nt.) Telegram.
According TO the statement OF the Es-
sex papers. whose source OF Information
most certainly cannot be said 10 be Sec
ond-handed. the condition OF affairs at
Fort Ethan Allen since the anti-canteen
law went into effect has been rapidly
growing alarming and disgusting. De-
s%ertions are OF much more frequent oc-
currcnce than heretofore. and DRINKS are
common now where n short time ago they
were rare. Not long since the editor OF
this paper rode from Burlington TO Es-
sex on the electric car. and together with
other citizen occupants OF the car he wit
messed a spectacle that would convince
army cantecn, IL IL was intended TO have
a good result. had miserably failed I'm it's
worthy purpose. Soldiers coming from
Burlington and Winoosh back home TO
the fort in an intoxicated conditioo are
seen by the travelling public every day
now. while during the time when they
could so to the canteen they were. in
general, a sober and orderly set of men.
Few OF them will go 10 Burlington and
Winooski for one drink only. When they
get there the chances are that they will
stay. and that usually means a hard time
getting home again. Uncle Sans regular
army is supposed to be composed of men
such as the Nation may well be proud
OF. and IL Is horribly distasteful 10 see
any OF them In a condition which dlssipates
the public scntient Of respectful regard
which they should be surrounded with.
