The overwhelming defeat of Cor

election this week has opened ex-Sena-
tor Germans eyes to the fact that the
law he railroaded through the Mary
land legislature for the purpose Of dis
franchising sufficient number Of re-
publican voters to elect legislature
that would send him back to the SEN

game he intended and expected it to
be. Republicans are much pleased
with the result of the Baltimore elec-

Gates success for the campaign Of edu-
cation they have begun among the il
literate republican voters of the state.
The cOlored voters are gladly availing
themselves OF the opportunity afford
ed them to learn to read and write
well enough to comply with the new
ballot law of the state, while many
democrats who cannot read and write
are ashamed to acknowledge that fact
by seeking instruction.
General Macarthur has written
letter to Adjutant General Corbin, in
which he answers letters from the
w. G. Il. U. of Columbus, Wisconsin,
and J. w Carlisle of Media. Pa, in
regard to the liquor traffic and the
social evil in the Philippines. He
recommends that the writer's Of the
letters or their representatives be
given free transportation to Manila,
where they will be given every oppor-
tuniny to see things as tney are and to
learn how badly misled they have been
as to the facts. He further says: IL
am convinced that the city Of Manila
may to day challenge comparison as
to its morals and orderly condition
with any city of the United States.
The care Of the soldiers health is al
most the first duty Of the officers, and
far from pandering to his vices and
encouraging him in dissipation every
effort is made to maintain true stan
dard of manhood in the young soldier
and return him to his country when
his service is over citizen who will be
a credit to the hard school from which
he has graduated. Should commit
tee be sent to Manila, as recommend
ed, they should also visit other ports
on the Atlantic coast for purpose OF
comparison. Having done this, | am
certain that they will, on concluding
their work, take home to their friends
Il very different idea OF the American
army. both as an army and as a civil
izing agent, than they appear to have
obtained. nor do doubt that they will
concur with the wisdom of the tenn
porary expedients rcsorted to to meet
the conditions presented. Now, it is
up to the critics. Let them go and
find out the facts for themselves and
stop their dealing in preiudiced exag-
geratons.'

EVANGELIST PEARSON
BEGINS A GREAT MEETING
Continued from First Page.)

Here Mr.. Pearson referred to CONVEX
sions which had taken place fourteen
years ago when he was here. Taking
two cases he said that if a man who at
that time had said he was converted was
still leading an ungodly life he had lied
when he declared his conversion. while
the man whose works, whose changed
life, had impressed the people, and who
had acknowledged conversion then, was
the truly converted man.
Describing what good works were he
said if you did these because God COM
manded you then they were good works,
if not but simply to stand we'll, they
were not accounted to you for good
works.
Faith" said he. ''worketh by love,
and true faith will produce obedience.
If it does not then it is utterly worth
less. Just as a railroad engine with the
fire out is dead so a faith without
works is dead
Faith is attcsted by works." he said,
"and if it is not then something is
wrong. We cannot believe Gods prom
Uses and then tramp Gods commands
under foot. We can't belong to the
church and live just as those live who
are in the world. We are not saved by
works alone, but by faith justified by
works.
Lastly, the preacher in earnest words
traced the connection between tho two
points of the sermon and showed tut
faith acted on works and works reacted
on faith, and that there was an interde-
pendence between them. He told of how
when our faith was weak we might
strengthen it, and said that to grow in
faith We must take Gods word, study it
and learn from it what works he would
have us do. Obeying his commands,
working as he would have us work,
would he said, make us grow up and
develop into symmetrical men, and
symmetrical women in Christ Jesus"
Following the sermon there was a
prayer by Rev. Dr. Daniels, who thanked
God for the coming of Mr.. Pearson and
who prayed that men might combine faith
and works in their lives. The services
of the evening were concluded by sing
ing BLESSED Assurance" and the con-
gregation was dismissed with the Bone
diction by Mr.. Pearson.

THE RESULTS OF AN ATTACK
ON A MINE AT PROVIDENCE.
Two Men Killed and Several Wounded
The Town Guarded by Soldiers.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Madisonville, Ky, Nov. 1S-The man
who was killed in the battle at Provi
dence Sunday morning, Garrett Givens,
was a negro who lived here Bud
Couch, mortally wounded is also a ne
gro, and both were union men in the at
lacking party. Three of the wounded
were negro non union men, who were
guarding the mine There is report
today that two wounded men were taken
to Morgantown and che to Sabree and
that they are all dead, having been shot
While attacking the mines.
This report lacks verification, though
it is believed that the men who made
the attack suffered heavily from the
fight.
In the battle of yesterday at least one
thousand shots were fired, while in the
battle of week ago half that number
were fired. Early this morning a por-
tion of the Madisonville company and
some of the Hopkinsville company went
to Providence, under the command of
Captain Thomas. The town is now un-
der guard by the soldiers. A deplorable
state of affairs exists not only at Prov
idence, but All over Hopkins county and
at Empire. in, Christian county. More
troops are expected
County Judge Hall and Sheriff Sutton
are both at Providence and under their
directions part of the soldiers On duty
there are securing the county in an eff
fort to discover other members of the
union party who engaged in yes' GrdGy's
battle
1t is said the authorities havo secured
valuable information bearing on the at
tack and warrants have been issued for
alleged participants in the fighting. Addi-
tional troops will probably be sent to this
county Immediately.
One Of the mines of the Providence Coal
company is running but the large mine on
which the attack was made is idle, due
to the disorganized force and the killing
of so many mules during yesterdays
shooting.
1t is said the St. eBrnard and other
coal companies OF Hopkins county have
decided to take out foreign charters in
order to get protection in the United
States court.
The union officials here disclaim re-
sponsibility for the attack and say that
those men implicated in the affair acted
on their own responsibility. Orders were
issued by President Wood to the strik-
ers in camp here to break camp at once
and join the strikers in camp at Norton
vile. 1t is-believed the camp here will
be broke up today.

San Francisco. Nov. 1.-THE town is
still talking of the Jeffries- Rubin fight
ard those who paid 100000 into the box
office have come to the conclusion that
Rubin was outclassed.
The contest did not demonstrate much
except that Rughlin is not a high class
man. Jeffries had hardly an opportunity
to show what he could do If pushed. He
appeared in excellent condition: was
quick on his feet and never lost his
head. He apparently made no effort to
avoid Ruhlin's gentle taps, but went
steadily after his man. Apparently, he
could have ended the fight in the first
round had he been so inclined
Next month Jeffries is to meet Tom
Sharkey under the auspices of the San
Francisco Athletic Club. The exact
amount taken in from the sale of tickets
is announced as $4,000
