GOLF AT ATLANTIC CITY.

Final Round of Championship Post
 poned a Week on Account of the
 Presidents Death
 Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 14.-Owing to the death of President Mckinley, the final match of the golf champion- ship between Walter J. Travis and w. E. Egan was not played Saturday. Samuel Y. Heebner, representing the executive committee of the United States Golf association, announced this morning that the contest would be put off until next Saturday. A longer post ponement was deemed inadvisable, ow- ing to the fact that Egan, who enters Harvard this fall would be unable to appear after the beginning of his col- lege term The match will take place over the same course as the previous matches of the tournament, and will be at thirty-six holes. The general opin- ion of golfers here is that Travis will have little difficulty in winning.
 If this prediction is fulfilled, Travis will take the championship title for the second successive year, his previous victory being won at Garden City in July, 1900, when he defeated Findlay s. Douglas by up. The match will carry with it gold medal for the winner and the $1,OOO trophy cup to the club from which he enters.

AT HOPE BAPTIST.

At Hope Baptist church. where union service of this church with the First Baptist was held the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Sage, delivered an address in eu logy of Mckinley. He spoke of the na- tion's intense sorrow at his death, as we'll as it's horror at the assassination. The sermon was largely devoted to the general topic of meeting face to face with friends in Heaven as promised in the Scriptures. He, said that there, in that other and brighter world we shall see Christ and there behold again the face of our loved president and of our dear friends who have gone before. This was one of the brightest thoughts to illumine our pathway in this vale of tears. The choir sang appropriate mu sic and especially fine was the bass solo by MT. Crabb, "Thy Will Be Done" selected with reference to Me- Kinley's dying words.

AT ST. JAMES CHURCH, WEST
 WILLIE

At St. James Episcopal church
 Westville, the rector, Rev. Mir. Sexton, preached from the text, Be angry and sin not" and also from the words ''Thy will be done" He said that 1t was ev- cry mans duty to be indignant at wrong doing, not to be vindictve nor revengeful. We should be firm for the right and firm in attack of wrong. We may have sudden anger and we may have settled anger and against all wrong we should have a settled anger. It is not a sin to have a settled anger against injustice and against all evil. Our Saviour did not expect men to be always mild and yielding because there were evil agencies to be uprooted and injustice to be wiped out. It Is in this sense that the Saviour said I came not to bring peace but a word. Rev. MT. Sexton said that his emotion was so great over the assassination of the president that he did not wish to utter all his feelings on the subject The presidents and governors proclama- tions were referred to appropriately.

Memorial services were held in the First Methodist Episcopal church on Elm street yesterday morning.

Rev. Or. Gard ner s. E!dridge delivered an impress sive address on the Christian character of President Mckinley, his courage in battle, his patriotism and large mind edness, his statesmanlike grasp of the national issues before the country, his devotion to his wife and his family and laid particular stress that Mckinley was a good man. He spoke concerning the anarchistic element in the country as an element which must be more re- strained than it has been for the vel fare of the nation. The music was ap- propriate to the occasion.
 The pastor announced that a special memorial service would be held on Thursday

political advantage. When the man
 dies who has suffered from it something
 of shame comes to the right-minded. We abuse our public men with little thought when we disagree with them, and we can hardly recognize any good in leaders upon the other side. This practice injures the tone of public life and works great injustice. Only the
 thoughtless believe what is said for po- litical effect in times of political ex- citement. The sense of the wrong of
 lying is lost. All is counted fair in po- litical controversy. Our public men ought to have such respect that when they die our congregations may be re- minded of their services from the pull pit national feeling dominating party feeling."

church an interesting discourse on les sons drawn from the life of the late president was preached yesterday morning by the pastor Rev. George Foster Prentiss. The sermon was a nigh tribute to the president, who was struck down by the assassin's bullet It referred cursorily to the salient points of his life and spoke of his deep- ly religious nature. It also referred to his unfailing devotion to his wife through years of suffering and ill health.
 There was appropriate music and the church was decorated with crepe. A picture of the martyred president oc- cupied a conspicuous place. The two hymns, Lead, Kindly Light" and Nearer, My Good, to Thee, favorites of Mckinley, were sung. The congre- gation chanted the litany. The services were profoundly impressive.

AT EPwoRTH M. E. CHURCH.

| Considering the inclement weather, an audience of good size gathered at Ep- 1 worth M. E. church last evening to | listen to the sermon delivered by the | pastor, Rev Fred Winslow Adams, on | the assassination of President McKin- | ley. An American flag draped with crape was unfurled on the platform.
 For the offertory solo Mrs. Fred Win
 slow Adams sweetly rendered the hymn
 Come Ye," after which the quartette sang Lead Kindly Light" At the
 close of the sermon they sang Nearer My God to Thee"
 Next Sunday evening the subject of
 the pastors sermon will be Fear Not"
 MT. Adams text last evening was
 Mark the perfect man and behold the
 upright for the end of that man is peace" Hero worship, MT. Adams said,
 is not product of the nineteenth cen-
 tury. King David was hero wor-
 shipper, or he had not said, Mark the
 perfect man; behold the upright" We apply his phrases to William McKin- ley, becaues he represents what is best
 in American character. Simple and direct in manner, kindly in heart, courageous in spirit, keen and pro- gressive in mental force, steadfast in faith and at all times inspiringly man. ly we may well say, %Mark the per feet man; behold the upright" For a few moments tonight I propose to heed this injunction of the King Poet David.
 When William Mckinley, as presi- dent, issued his calls for 100000 volun- teers to defend our nations honor, our young men sprang to the ranks, and hundred thousand more stood waiting the chance to show their patriotism. At his last public appearance he is- sued another call for men-and women too-a call that ought to thrill young blood especially. And what was this? In the excitement of the moment, how many of us realize that the president has thus appealed to us? You will find it in that remarkable address at Buff falo, Thursday, September ,. These are the words-almost at the close: "We hope that all who are represented here may be moved to higher and nobler effort for their own and the worlds good" Are not these words an appeal to all that is best? May we not take them to our hearts, and answer the presidents last appeal in devoting our lives to righteousness and truth.

HERBERT E ROsTWICK.

Who plays the leading heavy role in David Belasco's Heart of Maryland" has had the unusual experience of hav- ing played every part in that great play In the original production he was cast for Corporal Bludsor minor part, and selected as understudy for the leading role Capt.

And yet our president has left 2
 stronger appeal to men than this mes
 sage in words. His martyrdom itself is
 that appeal. His splendid bearing
 from the moment he was shot to his latest breath. and the sublime faith
 and Christian fortitude he manifested
 both In enduring pain and in saying good bye to all the world, holds dear, | constitute sermon, more eloquent than that ever heard in pulpit. an i'm passioned message to a larger audience l than sermon was ever preached to be- 1 fore.
 Rev. MT. Adams then beautifully il- l lustrated McKinley's kindness of heart l from various examples in Mckinley s | life-in his public life, his love of chil- | dren and his devoted home life. In this connection he paid a fine tribute 1 to Mrs. Mckinley. The preacher then spoke of McKinley's integrity as shown | in many ways in his career as lawyer | and president. The speaker said Me | Kinley would rank with Washington, | Lincoln and Garfield. He then dwelt l upon McKinley's faith in God. If Washington was the father of the country and Lincoln the saviour of the Union, then McKinley's was distinc- | lively the man who wooed again to peace and prosperity the sectional ele- ments so long embittered by strife. And his last speech fittingly closed his great career. It breathes peace and concord. It will live monument to his fame, and one sentence will be carved In marble, Our interest is in concord nor conflict; our real eminence rests in the victories of peace, not those of war;
 Shot down by an assassin his first thought was not of himself, but of the assassin, Let no one hurt him." And then of his wife--"Do not let a dis torted account of this get to Ida"-and then of the exposition, he regretted to have been the innocent occasion of thus disturbing the great fair In a few minutes he was on the operating table, saying gently, as the anaesthetic was to be administered. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done" And so it was to the last. He was ready to go. He had served the country faithfully, he had outlined future policy of reel procity and friendliness among all na- tions, he was ready for eternal peace the only tie binding him to earth being that of his precious wife. And with her hand in his, he bade her good bye and adding Ut is Gods way; His will be done"
 And his lips feebly chanted
 Nearer my God to thee,
 Angels to beckon me
 Nearer to Thee.
 And the convoy of angels received him. Mark the perfect man and be- hold the upright; for the end of that man is peace"
 The Christian hero has gone to his reward, but who will carry on to frui- tion the work he has left? It can only be done as we rally about the standard of his Master and and the Master of Men-our blessed Lord Jesus

REV, DIR. PHILLIPS AT CHURCH
 OF THE REDEEMER.

Tn his sermon at the Church of the
 Redeemer yesterday morning Rev. Dr
 Watson l.. Phillips paid an eloquent
 and glowing tribute to President Mc-
 Kinley. His text was taken from IT
 Samuel, 119, "Thy glory, o Israel, is slain upon thy high places. He in part 1 said:
 This is a day of personal sorrow and bereavement to all right-minded Amer
 jeans. East joins hands with the west The south lifts her tear-stained face to the north. We are all Americans real izing our kinship in uffering-weeping l together. Indeed there are no race or national boundaries. This stroke has made the world akin. Seldom has there been such universal manifestation of profound sympathy. Who was the man whose untimeiy passing has so troubled | the world? What do we mourn? We mourn citizen who, springing from the ranks of the common people by in domtable energy and the best use of his endowments and opportunities, forged steadily ahead until he reached the front; who showed us how to do duty as a good citizen should and make the most of the American heritage. We mourn a soldier quick to realize, ready to respond to his country's need. He belonged to that immortal concourse of youth who in '61, in the schoolroom, in the shop, on the farm, heard the call to arms and counted not their lives dear unto them that they might save what the fathers had planted; whose com missions bore the name of the great Lincoln. We mourn statesman, broad, studious, adroit, incorruptible, ready to sacrifice all personal interests to his country's good. We mourn man, mo- ble and tender and true, revealing in both public and private relations a manly strength, combined with wo- manly fineness of nature which endear- ed him to all classes.
 Here the preacher dwelt on the an- cestry and the public and private life of the dead president. He compared the assassin with the president, and showed that there was but one differ ence between the two me1-a moral difference of diametrically opposite choices.
 While the assassin was inflamed by reckltss utterances he lad heard and read he was a free moral agent and chos4, his course and his deed. The as- sassin is warning, the other an in spiration to all young men. Dr. Phillips also spoke of the trying circumstances under which President Roosevelt as- sumes the responsibilities of the office of president and asked for him patient testing, sympathy and loyalty.
 In closing he said. But, my friends, in spite of all the consolations we may gather, all the lessons we may learn, here are our consternation, our grief, our sense of loss. These will not down at our bidding From our point of view we could i'll afford to lose such man. So much of virtue, of patriotism, of seems gone out of the world that to each of us life is narrower and

REV. MIR. STOKES AT ST. PAuL's.

REV. MIR. STOKES AT ST. PAUL'S. Rev. MT. Stokes preached in the eve
 ming at St. Pauls from verse in the Psalter for the day (Psalms 7S:70, He | fed his people with a faithful and true heart, and ruled them prudently with all his power." This summary of the | life of David was taken by the preacher as a text for a sermon on the life and
 character of the late president. He
 showed that the heart of MT. Mckinley was faithful an true in so far as the three fundamental relations of every citizen are concerned. He was devoted to his own family, he was devoted to
 his country, he was devoted to his God.
 Under the first of these points MT.
 Stokes spoke particularly of the beau-
 tiful spirit which the president had al
 ways shown to his invalid wife. Under
 the second he referred particularly to
 his admirable record as soldier and president, while in regard to the third his devotion to God-he cited the sim pie beauty of the presidents faith as borne witness to by the few words which he uttered on his deathbed.
 Tn closing MT Stokes said that he had always been convinced that the presi- dent had surrounded himself by con- scientious and high-minded advisors, and was always conscientious in the discharge of his duties. In private character and public life he had in the words of the Psalmist, fed the people with a faithful and true heart, and ruled them prudently with all his pow err

record to contain editorials against Com

other admiral or in favor Of him which
was never seen by Admiral Schley at all.
That article was not sent in any letter to
Captain Lemly-It is really part of the
correspondence and referred to. We do
not contend for one moment that any
allegations that may be made In that edi-

from me now that Admiral Schley says he

Judge Advooate-You have made that
statement.
Raynor-I do not think this record ought
to be stained with these calumnies against
Admiral Schley.
The court then retired for consultation
and after a few minutes returned, maxi

Admiral Dewey:
1.-The court decides that any clippings

Americans Will Teach
Samar Natives Bitter
Lesson.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The latest ad-
vices from the Philippines indicate that
the military authorities intend to take
prompt and vigorous measures for the
suppression Of the insurrection in the
island of Samar and that attention will
be directed first to the summary punish
ment of the treacherous natives who took
part in the massacre of Company G,
Ninth Infantry, at Balangiga.
There is, therefore, every prospect that
the island of Samar will be the theater
of active hostilities for some time to
come, as it is the purpose of General
Chaffee to teach the rebellious inhabit-
ants a lesson and force them to respect
the power and sovereignty of the United
States.
BY direction of Adjutant General Cor
bin report has been prepared at the
War Department briefly describing the
island and It's inhabitants, the. military
operations that already have taken place
there for the pacif1cation of the people
and the establishment of good order and
government. This report is Of timely in
terest in view Of the aggressive military
policy to be observed toward such of the
natives as are disposed still to resist the
authority of the United States.
