DUTY ILLUMINATED
BY SIGNS Of TIMES.
Real and Imaginary Ideals OF Life
Set Forth in an Eloquent Sermon
by Rev. ASbury E. KrOm.

The services at tho Benehcent Conere-
gationaI church yesterday morning and
evening we're conducted by the pastor
Rev. Mr. Krom. who has recovered from
slight attack OF illness. There was q
very large and devoutly interested con-

The music was in hitting keeping with the
occasion.
Ills theme was "Duty Illuminated" and
his text. Matt: l0:aS. "lle that taketh not
his cross and followeth after me Is not

The second. the bearing Of the burden IN

A Rich Nation.


The United States is the wealthiest
country in the world. It has in its
treasury the greatest accumulation of
money in the history of the nations
of the earth. There was never before
such an aggregate of savings in the
banks of the country. The people
were never more hopeful and happy.
This disp1;y of uncxampled national
wealth is accompanied by unexampled
prosperity. An interesting feature OF
the report of the treasury officials is
that the amount of gold and silver
is not far from equal. there being
$534, 100000 in gold and s493, 100000 in
silver. It is estimated that the excess
Of receipts over expenditures for the
fs1al year will be $4,000, 0o0,. or nearly
100000 for eyery day of TIE year.-De-

ANOTHER PARK-ATE. HORROR.

The fire which laid the list Regiment Armory
in ruins early yesterday morning. reached our
toward the surrounding buildings and left trail
of death in its wake was the third Park-ave.
disaster this year. The collision in the tunnel
followed quickly by the dynamite disaster
in the subway. and now with earlier horrors
still fresh in the memory of the people an
other grewsome chapter is added to the history
and another danger to public safety Is disclosed
The destruction of the massive armOry was GER
tainly hastened by the explosion OF gunpowder
which was stored on one OF its lower floors.
Whether the sparks 10y which the Park-ave
hotel across the way became involved were
carried by the northeast gale or sent on their
mission of destruction by the explosion may
never be known, but the people living in the
neighborhood of the other armOries in New
York are to-day deeply interested in the mat
ter, and fully justified in their anxiety to
know how much gunpowder is stored near their
homes and what means exist for guarding
against it's explosion.
remarkable feature Of the disaster Is the
fact that, although the fire did not break out
in the hotel until nearly an hour after the first
alarm had been sent in. leaving the guests
ample time TO escape from the building nearly
a score of lives were lost. If guests were al
lowed to sleep at such time if the hotel en-
plOyeS on duty did not use every facility at their
command to arouse and warn them of the dan
ger. gross wrong committed. From the
first reports 1t appears that when the alarm
was finally sent through the house ii was too
late. and guests who could have reached
the street thirty minutes before were cut off
and doomed TO a horrible death 1t would seem
that an alarm. either by electric bells or by
messenger. would have warned the guests and
might have prevented the loss of life.
Nothing definite can be said at this time
10 the hotel fire apparatus. but if il is true
has been reported that the fire chiefs men
could find no hose on the fourth and fifth floors
OF the hotel. ii would demonstrate carelessness
on the part Of the hotel people. and on the part
OF the Fire Department neglect of duty in not
enforcing the law which compels hotels TO be
equipped with fire eXtinguiShing apparatus.

TIE Ice STORM.

The winters in this part of the country have
been mild for several years past that the oc-
currencc in close succession of two heavy
storms like those OF last week is highly ex-
ccptiOnal. Indeed. the first of them came near
proving record breaker Yet scarcely had the
blockade caused by it been partly raised before
another followed sweeping, did the preced-
ing one, the whole Atlantic seaboard from
Georgia to Maine.
The earlier nstament of precipitation came
in the form Of snow exclusively. and. since the
weather was growing slightly colder a. the time.
it remained unmelted. The chief consequence
was obstruction to travel. not simply in city
streets and country highways but also on the
steam railroads. When the second storm began
the temperatIIr was close to Mondays mean,
and the ensuing flUctua tiOns were hardly per-
ceptible But there was slight upward ten
dency, and rain followed the snow. The latter
thus converted into slush, and thick coat
ing of ice formed on buildings, trees and
eectri" wires. Exceedingly beautiful pictures
We're presented. but the effect upon the wires
was disastrous Had yesterday been bust

Two other classes Of wires which suffered
from overlooking with ice were those serving
the trolley companies and those which operated
electric lights The former were more exposed
than the current conductors of the Metropolitan
system, which are in conduits and hence proved
less trustworthy in an emergency like yester-
days. The brPakage of wires operating arc lamps
is always q source of danger. well as an in

The moral Is, bury your wires as completely as

A MESSAGE FROM FR4NCF

The present visit TO this country of Baron
dEStournelles de Constant is an international
incident OF considerable interest TO the United
States and significance TO France where he
nolds al important station and enjoys a high
repute as politician. dIplomatist and man OF
letters. His mission here is another illustra-
ton OF the zeal with which Europe has recently
entered upon a close study of our industrial
methods and no one Is better qualified to make
an impressive report of mis- observations For
several years he has been the leader of a
movement TO revive the industries of France
by imparting 10 his countrymen a realizing
sense OF the fact that they are losing ground a
fuller comprehension Of the natural resources
which are but partially utilized and a new
spirit of enterprise and emulation. For that
purpose he has organized a league or com
"mittee for the defence of the national inter
'ests." in which great number OF influential
Frenchmen are enrolled, and which for a year
or more has been arousing public opinion by
means of conferences covering a large part of
the country. Such undertaking would in
evitably fail il ii did not command the services
OF leader with n rare faculty for communi-
eating enthusiasm. inasmuch its programme
frankly prOclaims the need Of moral revival
as a condition essential to industrial rehabili-
tatiOn. But there are many gratifying indica-
uons that the work has taken strong hold
