OUR WORK IN PORTO RICO
AND OUR DUTY TO OUR NEW
 POSSESSIONS.
Suggestive Thoughts on the Subject by
 Rev. Jamec H. Van Burnen at St. x Pnul's Church, Yesterday--.The Needs
 ofThese Islands What is Being Done.

At St. PauPs church, yesterday
 morning, Rev. James H. Van Burer { preached sermon on the above topic
 taking as his text the words from
 Psalm 42, "One deep calleth unto an other He said in part: We have en-
 tered upon pathway whose end nc
 man can foresee. Stranger things
 have happened during the last few
 years than any sane man would have
 dared to predict.
 In view of the changed conditions
 under which we are living and the strange events which have come tc x pass, it is best to refrain from rash
 predictions. And yet no one can fail tc < ask whither we are tending. Will ex- X pansiOn end in imperialism? Will in- creased possession be attended with the Manger which has overtaken the an cient nations? Is there any logical or natural barrier between Alaska and the southern extremity of South America
 We may have been opposed to expan- sion; we may have been 10th to enter Into war; we may have criticized the Administration; but one thing Is clear; and that is that new possessions mean new duty. Whether we wanted the Philippines or not, we have them and must care for them; whether we want aed Porto Rico or not, there 1t is and we are bound to make good American citizens of its people.
 Porto Rico Is an island washed by AEthe Atlantic ocean and the Caribbean sea, an island three quarters the size a of Connecticut and containing 953, COG people. The population is more dense than that of nearly every other country In the world. Eighty per cent. of the < #anhabitants can neither read nor write.
 We find there the meeting of the waves of three mighty forces. First, ssthe waters of American civilization there encounter the civilization of Spain. And Spain has been mighty power in days gone by.
 sg If a man had nothing to do but be an on-looker in Porto Rico, it would be most fascinating to watch this meeting ltUf the waters, where lone deep calleth unto another and to see how Spanish customs are yielding and giving way to those of our own land.
 @ The second power Is that of language. Spanish is everywhere the language of Porto Rico. But little by little the children are learning the English Tongue. Think what is in store for Them when they come to read Dickens,
 Thackeray, Scott, Shakespeare! Bles- sed are the school teachers who have a part in bringing about such result. And the third great power Is that of @religion Our American Christianity is flowing in there; and with it we are hoping to bring about a better life and aa higher conception of character and duty than have been seen there before. To this end we must have churches Sfind schools; we must work among the SNchildren. We must go to that work with the strength of the church and not with the weakness of the individu- d.. Sa ,.s.s

The practice of chemistry will be inn

The practice of chemistry will be inn mensely benefited, says M. Pictet. The cost of innumerable chemical pro- ducts will be greatly reduced One of the chief instances of this will be water gas, so much used in chemical indus i tries, which will be obtainable at a cost of a tenth of q penny pore cubic yard. The result of this for lighting purposes will be tremendous. It is only question of time, says the inventor, before every public building i will be supplied with oxygen pipes, and 'stuffiness' in theaters, schools and ether buildings will be unknown
 For hospitals, and especially in the opera ting room oxygen, which on ac- count of it's prohibitive price could not be put into general use will be en- ployed more freely. Every town will have it's oxygen manufactory in few years, M Pictet adds, and coal will be superseded by oxygen.
 A large oxygen manufactory is being built at Manchester under the superin- tendence of the Messrs. Calloway.-The London Mall.

 "The Girl From Maxim's," one of the funniest and most popular farces that ever came from Paris, will be presented at the Hyperion on Saturday, Septem- Der 2S matinee and night. It comes with the great prestige of long and successful runs in New York, Boston Philadelphia and Chicago, and 1t was so well thought of by Parisians, who are the best judges of farce in the world, that they kept the Nouvantes theater, Paris, where it played, crowded to the doors for three years. The farce is by George Feydeau, and the original piquant flavor and lively character of his work has been preserved In the English version of the piece. Seats on sale Thursday Prices $1.50, $1, 75 and soc.
 Princess Mary Tudor, whom Julia Marlowe will introduce to the playgoers of New Haven at the Hyperion was the grandmother of that ill-fated Lady Jane Gray who was nine days Queen of England Mary's daughter Frances,
  They had two children, one of whom was Jane Gray. History has always marveled at the eagerness Of Mary to contract an alliance with the Common er-Duke of Suffolk after she had sat upon the throne of France but it re- quires no deep insight Into Mary's time to understand that she chose the hap pier course in following the dictates of her heart than did her brilliant and beautiful grandchild whose ambitions brought her to the block.
 Eben Holden in stage form will be presented by Charles Frohman at the Hyperion Tuesday and Wednesday nights. October and ?. It is dramatic ed by Edward k. Rose from Irving Bachellers successful novel. The pret- ty love story, not without stres of emo- tion. that sometimes approaches the tragic Is promptly attractive pictures of lively fun set in the always attrac- tive pictures of rural felicity. E. M. Holland heads the cast.

meodrama will be produced with a magnificent scenic equipment, and a cast off the very best players.
 The Worcester Evening Post com menting upon the play, says: Sunset ] Mines at Lothrop's made big hit at its opening performance last night It 1 is a new melodrama and full of the shivery spine effects that characterize that variety of play. It has the kind
 of thrills that please Lothrop's patrons 1 in every scene. The story of the play Is 1 told in five acts and many scenes, each with climax in the proper spot The plot is woven about the adventures or
 successful william who killed his pest friend. a mine owner and uSurps ms property. The deceased victims daugh- ter, her best young man and the rest of the cast chase him through all the avenues of terrified raScality and bring him up with a quick jerk at the end"
 The Worcester Spy has the following to say about the performance: "Lothrop's Opera House never held a more enthusiastic audience than that which witnessed the first performance in Worcester of Sunset Mines comedy drama of more than ordinary merit. Seldom outside of a vaudeville house is such a variety of meritorious acts seen as are introduced in the last scene"
 Sunset Mines" is the newest melo- drama on the boards this season, and all indications point it out as one or the greatest plays of it's kind. The en- gagemnt at the Grand Opera House IS for three nights and Wednesday matt

of much disorder. e5st h99
The highest wind velocity Is officially

tides, injuring water front property to a
great extent. The tracks of the steam

submerged and render traffic impossible.
The bridge spanning bayou 300 yards
wide is reported as having Slightly ca

Several small vessels weathered the
storm and BEYOND having everything NOV

The schooner Tortugas, from Mobile to
Apalachicola was towed to the city to-
night having on board two men badly

THE ABBOTT BEATEN

Cresceus Proves Himself the
Fastest Irotter Living.
In a Race Of Three Heats He Defeats lie
Abbott Winning a Purse Of
$4,000.
(Ey the Associated Press.)

New York Aug. 15.-The trotting In, :
terests of the Empire City have not re .
ceiv ed such n boom in anarter of a
century, as was developed today at
the Brighton Beach track. when under
!! the auspices of the New York Trottins
Association, the champion stallion and
champion gelding Cresceus and The
Abbott came together for purse OF
s12, OCO. The Abbott with his record of
1908 "A of last season and Chesceus with
his mark of 2:02 IA made at Columbus.
were to decide the question of which
was the one to go down in history as the
the fastest trotting horse now living.
1t was estimated that fully Is. 0c0 peo-
pie were present when about $3.50 O'Clock
the drivers, Ketcham and Geers, APP
peared before the grand stand and OBJ
tanned their positions for a start by the
flip Of a coin, the driver of Cresceus
securing the possible advantages. When
little later, the horses came from the
paddock they We're wildly cheered and
they looked fit for the work before
them.
Each was driven up and down the.
stretch for warming up and when they
reached the starter, Cresceus was
slightly in the lead and they were CALI
ed back. The next time down, how
ever they were nose and nose. Then
Cresceus rushed to the front and had a
lead of a length which he held to the
quarter making that mark in :30A. This
lead The Abbott had slightly reduced at
the half which was reached in 1:01 IA,
and he was very close second at the
three quarter pole in 1882 IA.
Z Gaming down tho stretch II a
battle royal, with The Abbott close up,
but Cresceus with his bulldog grip, kept
on with nostrils distended and just man
aged to beat the opponent by half a
length in 203 IA, the worlds trottinG
record in a race.
A little over half an hour had expired
when the two grand horses came out
for their second trial. They were sent
away beautifully, but The Abbott bad
not travelled a hundred yards before
he made a disastrous break and before
he could recover MS gait Cresceus was
in front. The Abbott once settled, made
"a grand effort to overtake his opponent
hut the son of Robert McGregor was out
for victory and kept on, passing the
quarter in :31a; the half in 1:0212; the
three quarters in 1:35 and came rush
ing home, the last quarter in 81 Ia sec
onds, doing the mile in 2:06 IA with The
Abbott back of 1.-THE flag.
AS the race was best three in five,
Ketcham consented that Cresceus go
another heat. This he did shortly be-
fore five O'Clock, accompanied by a run
ner for the first half, where he was
joined by another runner and he did
the mile in 2:05, the quarter in sou:
the half in l:01,s; and the three quar-
ters in 1:34. The betting before the
race was 500 to $50 on Cresceus, and
it was lively, there being many follow
els Of The Abbott and his driver. Geers,
who were willing to take the short end.
