 idently this Is an attempt to substitute

That was a hard game for Lem Bailey to lose yesterday and the unlucky throw of Dalrymples snatched a victory out of the reliable old southpaw's hands, only one clean hit and couple of scratches having been made of him. The fact that Dalrymple was playing left in Fender 8 place while the latter was at short in Aliens place may have been the cause of 1t. The game today Is the last of the Selma games in Chattanooga and Dolan will be in the box for the Whistler gang. He is the pitcher who let Selma down with three hits last Wednesday in Selma and 1t is horse and horse today. Baker and Fort McAfee are in reserve and Crib- bens may go in again, though he won his game Monday.
 Tomorrow the Fourth of July games will be played, Selma being in Nashville. Memphis in Birmingham, New Orleans at Chattanooga and Shreveport at Little Rock.

Mr.. RowIison Says the Idea often Is
Perverted.

The Rev. c. c. Rowlison, of the Third
the text Man Must Live" He said the
statement is considered in too wide sense.
He said IL too often is a refuge for men
in doing things in business when they know
they are wrong. The excuse of self-preser-
walton, he said, is always ready when bust
ness transactions are such that injustice
is done to a fellow-man. The phrase is
carried into politics. Politicians may be
honest. straightforward men in all other
matters, he asserted. but when it comes
TO dealing in politics they stoop TO do things
that they would not entertain under other
circumstances, with the same excuse that
man must live or that the party must
live. and that the other party does the same
thing. He said the church is not exempt
from the same practice, and the argument
is advanced that If the pews are not filled
by the weather. class the minister cannot
be paid his salary or expenses cannot be
met. Questionable methods are also some
times employed In raising money for the
churches under the same subterfuge that
the church must live, he said and that the
desire seems to be TO fill the pews with
good payers"
Referring TO men who do not consider
self and sacrifice their beliefs and cOnvic-
tions for their personal preservation he paid
a tribute TO President Roosevelt for assert
ing his views in the face of all opposition
and standing for right. He said the present
time is full OF opportunities for men OF this
in demanding justice TO ALL The aggrega-
ton of wealth in the hands of a few is a
menace, he said, and such system that
deprives the laboring men and producers Of
men of courage to bring about reform and
let men live.

LIFE OF A MORAL MAN
1T Is CONSIDERED IN A SERMON on
THE CONFLICT OF LIFE"
Rev. Joshua stansfield Says Right Liv-
ing Has Its Reward-At second
Presbyterian-Other Services.

The Rev. Joshua Stansfeld, of Meridian
street Methodist Church. yesterday morn
ing began a series of sermons on the book
of Job. His subject yesterday morning
was THE Conflict of Life" The essence
Of his sermon was that a man may be a
moral man and be right with God He said:
If man will be true to the highest and
best that he knows heaven will be with
him" He said the book of Job reveals the
perplexing problems of life and moral gov
eminent. and in Job man was found who
did right under conviction that it was right
and for no other reason. The mans char
acter. he said. was of the highest type.
and his integrity was untarnished. He said
a personal disinterested goodness was the
surest indications of what relation God
bears TO us. When a person comes to the
consciousness of that holy righteousness
then he is true TO himself; ne is true
man in the sight of God. He said Job was
a who felt this sense OF high morality
more than anything else, and he renounced
evil out of a deep sense of moral right.
He said there are some lives that know
greater temptations than others. Some
know more temptations and do not yield,
while others know few and fall 1t is not
greatest temptations. he said, and the man
who has the power and stamina to meet
all of these temptations. battle with them
and conquer, without the fight solely within
himself, is the bravest and truest type of
manhood. There is in this world an in
fiuence upon moral character" ne said IAN
influence that is personal Every influence
emanates from a personal source" He
said that so long as We succeed in life
there is not much TO concern US, but when
adversely comes then 1T is necessary to turn
back to the old book to learn of tie pres
ence of an evil one, marvelously powerful
over individuals.
The minister spoke of Jobs family life,
how he devoted himself to his wife and
children, and said mans attitude toward
his family reflected his true inward self
A man who loves his family, he said, is a
man who commands the confidence of all
about him.

THE LIFE OF MOSES.
From Ii Rev. III. w. Kellogg Draws
Some Practical Lessons.

At the Central-avenue NJ. f. Church last
night the Rev. Hiram w Kellogg took the
life Of Moses as the theme for a vigorous
sermon dealing with the ordinary sins Of
human life, commonly called small, but
having in their effect upon character a
more destructive influence than many
larger offenses. DR.. kellogg reviewed the
life of the Israelite leader from his days
as a boy at the court of Pharaoh until the
elimination of his life's work al the bound
aries of the promised land.
Great as Moses was. DR.. Kellogg said, his
usefulness was materially impaired by his
failure to hold absolute command over him.
self He lacked in self-control and, far
reaching and enduring as was the work he
wrought. the life of Moses was, in a certain
sense failure. He was never able TO con-
tain his anger. IL burst from him like a
sheet of flame On one occasion, in the
burning heat of his passion. he slew an
Egyptian For that sin God sent him into
mastered himself, and when. he returned
TO do Gods work he was another Moses.
For his anger God punished him, and
bitterly. God would not permit that even
the feet OF Moses should touch the prom
ised land. DR.. Kellogg remarked that the
Of such corrOding tendencies that 1t de-
serves severe punishment. IL is the most
fatal weakness which can inject itself into
the life of a young man. Anger is mex
cusable. he said and God will not pass il
by. Dr. kellogg remarked in this connec-
ton that there is an idea nowadays that
the fear of the retributiOn need hang no
longer over the head OF the human race.
like the suspended sword of DamOcles.
That idea is a sad mistake, he said. Ii is
not the doctrine which has gone out of eX-
istence; IL is the old, harsh form OF express
ing IL. Preachers don't preach now like
they did in the days of the early church,
but they still endeavor 10 express the spirit
OF retributiOn for evil deeds
IL Is sometimes difficult TO draw the line
between what constitutes a sin a mere
fault. IL is sometimes a question of tenn
permanent and imagination. There are some
people who go through the world building
gilded dream castles. They live in their
ina gina tions. and from thinking so much
of banks. bonds. gold and the like. come TO
believe eventually that they are rich. They
will go into a Store and order a big bill of
goods I'm the exuberance Of their fancy

no intention OF being dishonest. and yet

stands little chance of getting his money.

Bill in the Spanish Deputies Making
Duties Payable i'm Gold.

MADRID, Dec. 1.-The Official Gazette
publishes the text of a bill introduced in
the Chamber of Deputies Saturday by the
minister of finance, which requires the pay
ment in gold, or in notes or checks equiva-
lent to gold, Of the customs dues on i'm
ports of grain. coal oils, petroleum and
their products, gasoline, benzine. Goldfish,
dried fish, cocoa, coffee tea, spices, etc.
The bill further provides that reduction
of from 10 TO 80 per cent. be made the
duties payable according to the rate of ex-
change, provided the rate of exchange is
below 10 per cent
The newspapers and many members of
the Chamber of Dputies denounce this
measure as a coup d'etat, declaring that ii
has been submitted TO nobody except Sig
nor Sagasta, the premier. They declare
that il will burden the working classes
and that it exempts luxuries from customs
duties. Very strong opposition will be
raised to this bill in the chamber.
The gold payment bill applies to both
imports and exports. A royal decree orders
that, pending the approval of the bill by
the Cortes, the law shall be enforced i'm
mediately.

now proposed by Prince Ching to impose
a head tax on all Chinese, whether resid-

foreign countries Prince Ching's plan, as
submitted to the court, is to send commits
sioners to all foreign countries to collect
the tax from Chinese residents. claiming
that as they do not become citizens of
other countries they should assist in paying
the indemnity. Prince Ching's plan has
created considerable dissatisfaction in the
southern provinces OF the Chinese empire
and is liable to result in serious disturb

northern provinces were alone responsible
