BLUE LAWS OF THE
CHURCH ARE DISCUSSED

NEW YORK. April 2s-Deep interest
has been aroused among the Methodist
ministers Of this city by the recent meet
ing of ministers in Chicago. when it was
urged that the church laws prohibiting
dancing and kindred amusements ought
to be modified to meet modern ideas OF
the people at large.
That large number of Methodist min
listers of this city believe that the church
laws against dancing, the theatres, card
playing and so on, do more harm than
good. is apparent. There is large num-
Der of the conservative element among the
ministers. however, who think that re-
Taxation in church discipline would WORK
to the detriment of morals.
Rev. L. Goodell, of the Hanson Place
Methodist church in Brooklyn, said
Il think that the sentiment is such at
present that a general conference might
amend the chapter on amusements in the
church law so as TO eliminate the pronibi-
ton against such diversions as dancing
and card playing, which can of themselves
be conducted in the most innocent man
ner.'
Several other ministers voiced similar
expressions.

CONVICTED OF TREASON
MUST SERVE SO YEARS

ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 2S.-Ernest Wilde
a British subject. occupies a cell in the
guard house at Jefferson barracks. await
ing transportation to the Federal prison
on Alcatroz island. California bay, to
serve a 80 year sentence for treason to
the United States. If he had not falsely
sworn that he was a citizen of the United
States he could not have found his way
into his present predicament. for he
would not have been accepted as recruit
for the United States army in st. Louis
December 5, 1899, and shipped to the Phil
ippines.
wilde had been in active service on Luz
ION island only about one month when he
disappeared from the camp of company b.
of the Twelfth infantry, at Panequie, 90
miles from Manila. For 20 days he re-
NAMED absent. Then he turned up in Tar
lac and surrendered. He said he had been
captured by the insurgents and with
much difficulty had escaped. With him
was a soldier named kenney from the
Fourth cavalry. who told the same story.
Instead of taking Wilde's word and per-
hitting him to rejoin his command, the
commanding officer at Tarlac ordered
him before general courtmartial, charg-
ing him with desertion and specifying
that he had quit camp TO join and fight
with the Filipino insurgents. On TINS
charge and specification Wilde was con-
victed.

COURIER DUTY ON THE
KENNEsAW LINE.


Sherman and Johnston confronted each
other at this place. Over two weeks the
troops OF each army engaged in heavy
skirmish firing, artillery drills and oc-
casionally the enemy would try to take
the position by assault, which 1 will not
try to describe. One on Kennesaw, how
ever was a grand scene, as in the early
evening twilight one could see the red
pillows of flame roll down the side OF the
mountain from the cannons' steady dis
charges; my duty as courier kept me
busy with reports, acquisitions, applica-
lions and papers passing from headquar-
tiers to brigade, division, corps, etc, and
sometimes to the skirmish line.
The troops IN the rife pits would pass
letters and papers to each other BY
means of a short stick, split so as to hold
the letter as II was passed along the line
from one to another; by this means they
could learn who Of their comrades were
killed or wounded. The position OF the
10th and 30th Tennessee regiment was en-
fiIaded by the enemy's cannon; the line
was held by making right angle rife pits
TO the main line. The close call to my
self and Adjutant Seymour of the 10th
Tennessee came at this place. had Just
arrived with orders as the aLjutant was
starting for water with several canteens-
He said to me, Get in the pit. ! viii re-
turn in a moment" A spherical case
shot exploded just above us. We were
slightly stunned but not hurt The circle
of dust around US made by the missiles
was about 10 feet. The adjutant replied:
Il will go bacH now" The adjutant was
a soldier indeed. He had the medal Of
Balaklava as one of the survivors Of the
600. After General Johnston's battle or
der at Cass Station he was expecting the
great battle and would not go to the
hospital although sick. / will close with
the request if any one has the battle or
der about, please have it published.
