most interesting AND practical sermon
on the text. And the Lord said unto the
servant, Go out into the highways and
hedges and constrain them 10 come in
that NV house may be filed. After a
few explanatory words regarding this
text the speaker said:
The problems of the church attend

related this pstrTbfc.
But We think IL contains practical sug-
gestions and an underlying philosophy
that are strikingly pertinent 10 the great
problem OF how to iii our churches.
when We speak of filing our churches
We do not mean a spasmodic or tempor-
airy work.
Sensational metiiods or messages" /" de-
clared Mr.. Miller, may draw a crowd for
a time, but the rsal problem is how to
iii our churches with people who want
to come and stay and become regular
church attendants
The basal work Is 10 arouse and sus-
tain genuine interest IN religion that
flows from the heart ana pervades the
whole life"
In discussing the problem. How Shall
We FIJI our Churches?" the speaker sug-
sested two great practical methods, list

Mr. Miller then enlarged upon these two |
points raised I'm connection with the text.
Among the essentials which the speaker |
emphasized as necessary if the churches |

\ DARING H0LDUP
OLD MAN ROBBED ALMOST IN
HEART OF TOWN.
AND IN BROAD DAYLIGHT
Three Robbers Seize Him by His
Throat, Throw Him Out of Buggy
and Make off With Booty-Two of
Gang captured-one Escapes With
the Money.

Newcastle, Pa, June 4.-One of the
most daring holdups perpetrated in this
part of the state took place at Elwood
City, this state. Three unmasked men
met Cotton Burns, an aged and
wealthy resident of that place, who
started yesterday to his quarries with
$4,000 to pay his hands. Just in the
rear of the Elwood seamless tube
works and almost in the heart of town
he met three strangers in a rig.
They accosted him and he entered in
to a conversation with them. Sudden
ly one of the trio, large man wearing
goggles, stepped into Burns buggy
and seized him by the throat One of
the others sized the satchel containing
the cash intended for the Quarrymen
and jumped into his own rig. The man
with the goggles followed and the
three lashed the horse to a run and
disappeared before Burns could re-
cover from the attack. A posse was
hastily formed and came upon the
highwaymen two miles from the scene
of the robbery. An exchange of shots
took place. One Of the robbers was
crippled by a shot and was an easy
victim while the leader, the man with
the goggles, was captured after his
ammunition was expended. The third
man escaped and is yet at large with
s1,700 of the stolen money. The pris-
oners are strangers here and absolute
ly refuse to talk.

FREE DELIVERY,
A Rapidly Increasing Branch of Postal
Service,

A Rapidly Increasing Branch of Postal |
Service.
Washington, June Eve will
have S5,00o,000 year invested in rural
free delivery before the end of the
next fiscal year, unless | greatly mis-
take the sentiments of the people as
reflected through their representatives
in congress-" said an official of the post
Office department. "Just reflect for a
moment upon the fact that we have
barely passed the experimental stage
in this system of free delivery of mails
each day in the rural districts, and yet
we are not expending more than three
and half millions annually in the bus
mess"
1t is the opinion of the department
experts who have had years of expert
ence in watching the growth of the
free delivery system in cities that the
rural mail delivery is certain to be the
most popular and rapidly increasing
branch of the postal service.
Even if it creates an increased def
icit," said the official, ''the people will
have it. Expedition of mail delivery
and collection is in the interests of adj
vancing civilization and the promotion
of the best interests of our people.
They pay for it, so why should not the
people have the best conveniences in
mail service which modern methods
can devise? l base my notion that the
annual appropriations for rural free
delivery will soon exceed $4,000, 900 up
on the fact that at one jump congress
boosted up the appropriation from
S1,5OO000 to 100000, and we were
yet experimenting with it. Now the
demand for additional routes is great
ly increasing, and wherever route is
established we never hear of desire
that it be discontinued. The system
has come to stay, and it will be the
greatest influence for the advance
ment of interests and the promotion of
civilization in our remote districts that
has ever been introduced in this re-
public"

would order the horses the night be-
fore, pay all the bills and give out all
the tips. Some who used to ride with
her were the Misses Dominick, Miss
Shrady, Miss Montgomery, Miss Pauld-

girls.
On Thursday Miss Gould took her
last ride at the academy. Then she
ordered her horses sent up in car to
Irvington, where she expects to ride
daily all through the cammer. But
before she left the building Miss Gould
summoned all the men who had helped
her with her riding and with her
horses through the season.
To each she gave tip commensur'
ate with his services. In all she gave

shared in the final generous purse.

MINISTERS PLEASED
AT cHlNA'S UNCONDITIONAL Ac-
cEPTANcE OF TERMS.
MAY DELAY EVACUATION
And Problem of How the Indemnity
Squeezed" From China Can Be
CoIlected-Count Won Waldersee to
Start on Return Trip June A.
May Come to United States.

Pek.n, June 1.-China'S uncOnditlo1-
81 acceptance of 450,OO0,OOO taels as in
demnity to be paid the powers has
caused great satisfaction among the
foreign ministers as it leaves practi-
cally but few minor details to CON-
plete negotiations. The phrase in the
Joint note, ito the satisfaction of the
powers" may cause some delay in the
evacuation of Chinese territory as the
ministers fail to see how China can
guarantee payment and as all minis
tiers believe it would be a mistake to
have large body of foreign officials
collecting revenue. j..
Were the revenue thus collected,
over 100000 officials would be re-
quired and the aggregate salaries Of
these men would be very large and
amount to more than the ordinary
Chinese squeeze" The majority Of
the ministers now favor raising the
customs to 10 per cent. taking 5,000,-
900 taels yearly from the likin tax.
This would give after payment Of in
terest on foreign debts now existing
about 100000 taels year. The
ministers would agree to this system
if China will discontinue the collec-
ton Of all likin duties on foreign
goods.
Washington, June 1-Whether
Count Won Waldersee will return from
China by way of the United States or
fn1xr 10
known to the authorities here. 1t is
expected that he will decide upon his
route after reaching Yokohama and
comforting with the Countess Won Wal
dersee, who awaits him there. The
departure of the commander-in-chief
from China will not be later than June
IA. Information received here is that
his departure will be accompanied by
a reduction of the German force, even
greater than has been indicated in the
press dispatches, the intention being
to leave only legation guard at Pekin
and an auxiliary force capable of
keeping open communication between
Pekin and the coast, so as to avoid a
repetition Of the disturbances. The
various foreign representatives do not
expect there will be any need 10
choose a successor to Count Won Wal
dersee, but it is said there will be no
occasion for Joint command over the
comparatively small force constituting
the legation guards. The understand
ing is that the withdrawal of troops
will be speedily followed by the return
of the imperial family to Pekin, al
though before this can be done some
of the quarters burned during the for
eign occupation must be restored and
there must be much overhauling of the
palaces, which of late have served as
barracks for soldiers.

responsibility to the people and to the
work for the up-building of the polit-
ical and material interests of the

''Your suggestion that it is not

cussion of all public questions and the
education of people along all political
lines is in accord with your patriotic
course in reference to the resigna-
tons. The people are entitled to hear
both sides of these questions and to
form their judgment. Personalities

abide by their decision upon them.
'In conserving to hold on to my

AFRAID FOR WINDSOR.
Pierpont Morgan and Other Million
aires Call on King.

Windsor, England, June 2.-Twenty-
two American gentlemen. dressed III
the deep black of British court mourn
ing and representing many millions of
money and vast commercial interests,
were the guests of King Edward yes
terday at Windsor. They were dele
gates of the New York chamber of
commerce, the president of which,
LORD Brassey, accompanied the Amer
lean party. The visitors were greatly
impressed and pleased by their audi
ence with the kind who was just as in
terested at meeting them. The king
had expressed considerable curiosity
to see what manner of men these null
timillionaires might be. From the
king down all the officials concentrat-
ed their attention On j. P. Morgan
Their curiosity was not unmixed with
awe. One Of the high officials of the
household humorously confessed that
an inspection of the list Of visitors
made them tremble lest Morgan or
some other millionaire should take
fancy to Windsor and buy it.
