DUNCAN DENIES REPORT.

w. Il. Duncan yesterday said there was
no truth in the report that the Bristol
designer was preparing TO build a centre
board cup defender for the syndicate
headed by Vice Commodore August Bel

Mr.. Duncan said he did not think the
designer could build another yacht OF the
size OF a cup defender this winter as
they have so much work on hand.
The material for the defender has been
this year assembled at Bristol very
quickly instead OF in small portions as in
former years. lie thought that there be-

Rev. e. Payson Hammond. the famous
evangelist, who has had such truly re-
markable success in his chosen work. I'm
both this country and in England, is
paying Providence a visit and tonight at

the Calvary Baptist church He will also
preach at this church on Sunday at t:30

Hammond will conduct the services at

Concerning DIR. Hammonds work In
England. the following article In the Lon

author and preacher. Rev. y. B. Meyer.
truly illustrates the wonderful hold Dr.
Hammond has on the people:

duced on me. 1t was the first breath of

conform themselves TO His sweet life.
None but those who have worked among
children could credit the readiness with
which they receive the Gospel. When they

Tossing, and so eager to win others to
Him whom they find so dear.
There is everything in our Saviour to
charm and attract children. and His dear
Gospel does not present difficulties to
their simple faith. The Lord told us TO
become as little children that we might
enter His kingdom. Surely, then, little

ed where the secret lay. His stories are
capital. but others could tell them. His
hymns are sweet, but others could sing
them. His methods are good, but others
could employ them. And yet when all
is put together, marvellous effect II
produced, i think his principal Sower
consists In the clear presentations of the
sufferings of Christ for sinful men. given
in direct dependence on the Holy Spirit.
IL is impossible TO judge OF the effect of
an address during tho meeting Some
times IL would seem as IL no impression
had been made, yet seat after seat Is full
OF children anxious TO know how to give
their hearts to Jesus.
One little boy. when hidden TO go home
by worker, who thought him too young
TO understand, burst into tears and said
he was waiting for some one to speak to
him about Jesus Christ. Others who went
away under deep conviction came again
and again, until some evening their faces
would beam with new found JOY. And
there were many cases In which they
brought their little friends TO get the
blessing which they had themselves re-
ceived.
After a week OF blessed services In Mel
bourne hall. Mr.. Hammond passed on to
other churches. where similar results oc-

At the close of one OF the services, a
teacher was found at the head of a pew
bathed in tears, because she feared that
her class OF young ladies were going
away Insaved. Surely such tears are
dear to Him who wept over those whom
He would fain have gathered under the
wings of His love. Nor were they with
out effect, for they awakened deep con-
cern in her scholars hearts. who finally
yielded to the love of Christ.
1 should like him to go up and down
through England and America gathering
large multitudes of children and people
for the Savior. Surely the results OF such
a campaign could never be estimated. Its
benefits would be found in thousands OF
homes and churches for the next gener-
alton, and might furnish hosts OF minis
ters. evangelists and missionaries for the
Church OF Christ.
IL seems to me that no work would
bring wider or quicker returns, for II is
possible in the same time to win about
ten children for every individual adult.

bands Unexpected Return.
Wife Gone to Parents.

New York. Jan. 17.-After finding man
in his wife's apartments at an early hour
in the morning, following him down fire
escape and being forced 10 give up the
chase of the scantily clad figure that
carried its 2zlongings away in bundle,
Giles Radway. an attorney, of 100 Broad
way, has applied TO the Supreme court
for annulment OF his marriage.
The papers I'm the action were served
today. ON AIrs. EsteIle V. Radway. who is
now living at the home OF her parents In
White Plains.
Radway states that the little incident
OF discovering the man in his apartments
at the corner of Eighty-second street and
Central Park West, occurred on Thurs
day morning OF last week, when he re-
turned suddenly from a trip To Boston
When he went away he expected 10 re-
turn on Friday. anu so informed his wife.
He completed his business earlier than
he had expected. and took train for
home late Wednesday afternoon, intend
ing TO surprise his family. He did.
When he got 10 the apartment he called
home the door was barred against him.
Notwithstanding. the fact that he had a
key. This aroused his suspicious.
Then he says he heard his wife anxious
ly inquire who was there, and also heard
the whispered voice OF a man.
Without paying any attention to the
inquiry OF Mrs. Radway the lawyer
threw his weight against the door. and
when IL gave way he entered.
He found his wife on the floor In a
swoon. and says he saw the figure of a
man. clad only in underclothing, going
down the fire escape.
The man made his escape through an
alley leading out OF a court.
When Radway returned TO his rooms
he says he found his wife seated In a
chair. and ordered her TO dress and leave
the house at once.
She did so and went TO White Plains
the day after TO which place he sent all
of her belongings.
Radway Is now 81 years old. He was
married seven years ago to the woman
from whom he is now seeking a divorce.
She was then Miss Estelle Hopkins. the
daughter Of Jonas s. Hopkins, or White
Plains.
Mrs. Radway is a particularly hand

DESIRES TO USE NAVY DRY DOCK

Il. Il. Crowninshield, designer OF the
Lawson boat for the international yacht
race. has held an interview with Com
mander John r. Pillsbury, L. S. n. chief
of the equipment department. OF the navy
yard, with view OF having the bolt rope
for the cup defender manufactured I'm
the yard ropewalk. and it is understood
that Capt. Pillsbury looked upon the pro-
position very favorably.
IL seems that representatives of tho
builders have obtained permission from
the secretary Of the navy to buy rope
from the government and TO use the yard
sail lor and dry dock. The reason for
asking for yard rope is that the Boston
Navy Yard factory turns- out the best
product i'm the world.
Capt. Pillsbury said yesterday that ar
rangements for the transaction would be
made through the paymaster general at
Washington and the general storekeeper
of the yard.
The proposition calls for the sale Of
government property to private parties.
and, II custom is to be followed, the rope
manufactured for the Lawson yacht will
be advertised for public sale to the high
est bidder-either in the newspapers or
by posters set up In public places.
The whole transaction being above
board and well known 70 the public the
Lawson people will make the only bid.
which will be satisfactory to the govern
ment-according TO previous arrange
ment. And so the conditions Of depart
mental red tape will be fulfilled.
This sail rope matter will be a COM
paratively small job. The privilege OF
using the sail loft and dry dock may
count for much more. However, there is
a precedent in the dry dock case. The
cup defender Pilgrim was doclxed at the
navy yard Before the race in lS93
