DIR. PURVES DEAD.

One Of the ablest divines Of the
city of New York died the latter
part of September in the person of
Rev. George T. Purves. Mr.. Purves
might have been considered only in
the prime of life at the time of his
death, but he had reached the point
where he was considered one of the
most profound pulpit orators in the
country. He rapidly passed from
one degree of importance to another
until at the time Of his death he had
but few equals and still fewer supe-
riors. He was as able a writer as he
was preacher, and the Presbyterian
assembly has lost much in his death.

BIBLE NOON CLASS.

In the railroad shops of Cleveland,
o., and other points IN the East the
Young Mems Christian Association
has been quite successful in estab-
fishing Bible classes among the en-
ployees for the noon hour. 1t was
considered almost impossible when
it was first talked Of, but nothing
venture nothing made, and the
young men made the effort, and, as
said above, have been quite success
full in it. From ten to twenty min
utes are spent by the men reading
and discussing the Bible, and this is
done without regard to creed OF de-
nomination, and, on the whole con-
Quoted as are the Young Mems
Christian Associations.

CUBA's RELIGIOUS PROBLEM.

There is no doubt but Cuba has a
serious religious problem confronting
her at this writing If the policy of
the United States is pursued in Cuba
the complete separation Of church
and state-the Catholic church will
have a claim of $35, 100000 against
the property interests of Cuba, but
how to get this is the much-mooted
question. The attempt to have the
Catholic church chosen as the ma
tional faith having been overwhelm-
ingly defeated in the constitutional
convention, it is very apparent that
it will be a difficult matter for the
representatives Of the Catholic
church to collect, not only the sum
that they claim, but any part of it.
Catholicism is strongly rooted
among large majority Of the citi-
zens Of Cuba, and the church prop
erty question is going to be trou-
blesome one in the affairs Of Cuba
for many years to come

BIBLE TEACHING.

BIBLE TEACHING.
The city council of Cleveland has
adopted a new feature in school work
for that city. Recently the council
unanimously voted to add the Lords
prayer, the Ten Commandments and
the Twenty-third Psalm to the regu-
lar school cirriculum for study and
consideration. This may perhaps
place those teachers Of an a2nostic
turn Of mind in awkward positions,
for persons who do not believe in
God nor the teachings Of the Ten
Commandments, nor anything per-
tanning to the Bible would not make
very much out at teaching it. The
question whether the Bible should
be admitted to the public schools is
one that has agitated the public
mind for the past quarter of a CEN
tury or more and it is still unsettled.
Not even strict religiouists take
kindly to having the Bible taught in
the public schools lest some one drift
into teaching denominationalism at
the same time, which is a thought
quite worthy of consideration.

In the domain of Uncle Sam there
are 1898 millionaires, or one for
every 10000 citizens. Now, if all
that the millionaire owns was dis
tributed among the whole, how long
would it be before some one of them
would again have the whole? Let
the echoes answer.

CATHOLIC NONSENSE.

Speaking about the Catholic
church reminds the writer of an
edict that has recently been issued
by distinguished Catholic rector to
the effect that all Catholic parents
sending their children of 10 years
and younger to public school absolu-
ton would be refused. The same
edict went further and said that all
Catholics who were married by Prot
tants would be communicated, and
likewise all Catholics who were mar
ried by justice of the peace or a
notary public, absolution would be
refused. While this is direct from
the fountain head Of the Catholic
church, it is being bitterly opposed
by many latter-day Catholics, who
still cling to the fundamental teach
ing Of Catholicism yet do not be-
lieve in any such intolerance as this,
and if it is enforced, it will be the
means of causing a great many de-
vout wOrshippers of the Catholic
faith leaving the same, and though
they may not connect themselves
with any other church, they will not
pay homage to the Catholic church.

JEWS CAUSE TROUBLE.

Free Masonry in Germany is split
asunder, and the grand lodge seems
unable to settle the difficulty. The
cause of the whole trouble arises
from the fact that the Prussian
grand lodges plant themselves upon
a Christian basis. They refuse any
one as a member that has not been
baptised and that does not believe in
some Christian denomination. The
Hamburg grand lodge is opposed to
this and proclaims it religious intol-
erance. 1t might be added in the
way of explanation, that the Ham
burg lodges are made up largely of
Jews, who take no stock in Chris
tian religion, and they will be forced
to withdraw from the Masonic fra
ternity if the Prussian grand lodges
win out in this fight. The fight is
being watched with acute interest by

first and second and not single low
hit escaped outside the diamond. j.
G. Pentland batted one long fly out
into center where Mckee was looking
after a pretty biz piece OF real estate
and the latter stopped to make out q
transfer before fielding the, ball in.
This was about the only occasion on
which things seemed to rosy up for
the married men.
Some of the losers have been tell
ing around town that if it hadn't
been for Salzmann, the high school
catcher who caught for their oppo-
nents, things would have ended differ
entity. This is rather thin. Salz-
mann played the same quality of ball
that all the others on mis- side did,
and the loss of one or two men on
either side would have made no differ
ence. The married men were beaten
10 to 8. and no amount of explana-
ton will rub the fact out
The pitching of Dickman for the
winners and the battery work of Pent
land, Huntoon and LaVelle for the
losers are deserving of speci l men
ton. In 5-inning game total of
about 40 men were famed out at
bat. 1t was pitchers game.
Notes on the Contest.
Pentland has never been known, at
least by member of the class, to hit
the bottle; but all are forced to admit
that it wasn't his fault he failed
to do it yesterday afternoon
Darby is credited with the neat
est piece of head work displayed
during the game. He was running
to first on a scratch, but when
the ball was thrown to the first base.
man, with characteristic quickness
of thought he interposed his Uranium
in front of the baseman's glove and
the sphere bounced far enough to
enable him to get clear home. He
also made a home run hit, but the
ball unfortunately reached the plate
before he did.
Considerable money changed hands
after the game. If those who had
been given it to hold hadn't been hon.
est they would have kept it.
Rev. McNary played nice game,
but he absolutely refused to steal Sec
ond.
Some of those who did their run
ming yesterday are scarcely able to do
their own walking today.
Negotiations are pending for a
game between the business mems
class and the Woodmen.

MILITIA MAY BE MADE
REGULAR ARMY ADJUNCT.

Assistant Secretary Sanger is en-
gagged on a scheme, which will be pre-
sented to congress. for employing the
militia in conjunction with the regu-
lar military forces, says Washing
ton correspondent. Several PROPOSE
tons are under consideration. 1t
will be necessary, of course, to obtain
the consent of the state authorities to
any legislation which would place
them on footing to make them use
full in connection with the regular
army.
1t some arrangement can be effected
it is probable that provision will be
made to equip the state troops with
army guns and munitions of war, and
give them annually a course of drill
and instruction at army posts, the
artillery, of course, going to artillery
posts along the coast.
The great difficulty in previous years
has been to get national guardsmen
to agree TO any system which would
admit of uniformity in organization
and equipment.

LIKE PROFESSIONALS.

Was the Way the Business Mems Glass
Played Bau Yesterday.
In truth, the married men were
somewhat handicapped, for they had
to play against all the other members
of the business mems class, including
those who would like to be married,
those who can't get married, high
school professors and others. But
for all that, it was fairly good con-
test at the national pastime the bust
ness men of the Y. M. G.. A. put up at
the Twelfth street park yesterday af-
ternoon.
The benedicts weren't really in it
st any time. They just couldn't be.
though they made brave show of
playing ball. The trouble was they
had Is men and luck was ag linst
them. There was too much division of
responsibility. Their opponents on
the other hand had IA men and they
played lovely ball. Blyman played
third base and when n batter came up
he laid down to second and all tue
rest of the infeld formed between

Is an old adage we often hear, and all
roads do not lead to good health, but
great many do. When an invalid
reads over the advertisements in the
papers he is at loss which ''road to
health" to start on. A subject of so
great Importance should be carefully
considered. No system of treating
diseases will cure all cases, but it is
wise to select the one that makes the
greatest per cent of cures in the short
est length of time. Some systems of
treating are painful and embsrrass-
ing. If the same results may be OBJ
tanned by a painless system, that
would surely be preferable. The op-
Grating table should be considered
only as a last resort, but if your tu-

JUST FEW FACTS

Concerning Up-to-DAte Work at Down-tO-
Date Prices.
An institution that takes front rank
in it's line, and one that has quietly
grown until it outstrips all competi-
tors, is what is known as the Ameri-
can laundry, located at Twelfth street
and Fifth avenue. In a large, we'll
ventilated and perfectly sanitary
building, designed for public hall,
this modern plant is located and the
scope of work done there is worth a
visit to see. The proprietor has in
vested several thousand dollars in the
latest aud most up-to-date machinery
for laundry work. By this is meant
the largest capacity with the least
wear and tear on clothes. By these
methods laundry work is no harder on
the clothes than is handwriting.
With an immense washing ma
chine and a big steam mangle-
the only one in Rock Island, and
which has a capacity of 5000 to
10. 900 pieces per day, this institution
is in a position to do family washing
in the quickest time and with the
greatest degree of perfection. Every
attention is given to the sanitation,
and the clothes are returned to you
as sweet and pure as new. None but
the highest grades of supplies are
used, and nothing that can harm the
fibre of the goods. Drop a postal, or
phone and a man will call and ex-
plain in detail. Be up to date in this
as you are in other things and blue
Monday will be a thing of the past in
vour home

NOR, abcess or cancer can be cured
with out the knife, that system is
worth investigating. If your lungs
are seriously affected and all the sys-
TENS of treating you have tested have
pot cured you, you are advised to
change climate"-the "sure road to
health in lung trouble" they say.
But If you have read of system of
treating that claims to cure lung
trouble without you leaving your
home and business, it is wise to in
vestigate these statements; find ii
they are true or false. If you have
been accustomed for years to taking
a nightly dose of medicine for consti-
patton, and you have read of a system
Of treating that cures constipation
permanently an d without medicines,
you should lose no time finding out if
that's true. Ii you have paralysis
and believe your case hopeless by all
the systems of treating that you have
tried, and you have read that it is
durable, painlessly and permanently.
go today and find out if there is any
truth in this statement. If your kid
neys are weak and painful, or if you
are afflicted with diabetes, here is
system that claims to cure 1t. II you
have neuralgia, rheumatism, goitre
or any disease that has not reached
the incurable stage, 1 ask you to in
vestigate Natural Healing. 1t is ma
ture's own remedy 1t will cure
when all other systems fail. 1t will
cure in less time. 1t will cure per-
manently. 1t will cure painlessly.
Natural healing is the cheapest
quickest, safest, best, surest road to
health.
