Whether the story is true or false
is Il matter of no great concern. Any
way il is not the first time that Amer
leans have eaten dog. There have
been occasions, indeed, both in this
country and in. other parts of the
world. when they have been very glad
to get even "a morsel of the canine
meat, and so far as known no bad re-
suits have followed in single in
stance. Our early explorers and in
provided themselves with dogs which
i'm emergencies could be eaten and
which in emergencies have been eaten.
and with great satisfaction.
However, it is highly reprehensible
for the people of our mid-Pacific pcs
sessions" to palm roast dog for roast
pig upon visiting statesmen who are
there for the express purpose of
ameliorating their condition. If dog
is to be served to them, they should
be so informed. that they. may have
the privilege of accepting or declining
it, as they think best. One does not
like to eat dog thinking it is pig. and
one does not like to be .ioked about it
afterward. The restauranteurS of
Hawaii and other provinces and
other countries who serve dog should
keep their secrets to themselves.

An Eloquent Sermon

The Rev. Edward N. Ware of
Bedford. Iowa, in the First Presby-
terian church last evening preached
on the subject "Evil."
His text, taken from Genesis so:
20 was "But as for you, ye thought
evil against me; bnt God meant it
unto good, to bring to pass, as 1t 10
this day, to save much people alive. "
In beginning his sermon Mr.. Ware
said every community was troubled
with the question as 10 why evil had
come into the world. He said he
would not attempt to answer this
question, but would dendeavor to show
how good had come from evil. The
battle between good and evil, he sad
far surpassed the battles on the
pages of HISTORY, and he Illustrated
this by referring to Joseph and his
brothers.
EVIL Is to the mind what pain is
to the body" lie said, and he point
ed out how pain is essential, acting
as it does as a sentinel to warn OF
impending danger Pain, he said,
has caused men to pry deeper into
the mysteries OF nature, and through
the agency Of suffering man has
learned many things to make him
stronger.
The resistance against temptation
is an occurrence which comes to
every man, said Mr. Ware. and he
spoke Of such as being merely test
or the will, adding that great
strength of character came to those
who resisted the powerful influence
OF evil. lie next referred to tho per-
.ecutions of the early church, and in
speaking of the wide spread OF the
Christian religion, showed how the
prosecutions had not been without
their good, referring to the recent
disturbances in China in this light.
Without the persecution. he said,
churches at present might be con.
fined to one section Of the county,
but with the representatives OF
Christ driven hither and thithcr by
unbelievers 10 .he early days Of
Christianity good came from the
evil, and the story OF Christ is being
told iI all parts Of the world.
In conclusion, Mr.. Ware said the
privileges of a school of sorrow was
we'll worth the COST refining as it
does tie character and giving
strength and breadth to the mind.

BOTH GAMES
EXCITING.

Lovers of base ball were treated
to two fine exhibitions of ball play
ing on Saturday afternoon. At both
grounds the games were unusually
close and interesting, which gave
the fans something to talk about all

At South Side Park the game was
considered one Of the best seen in
Wilmington for a long time. The
A. A. team lost to the New Cumber-
land team by the score of 2to1.
The home team made hard eff
fort to win out in the ninth but
sharp fielding by the visitors blank
ed them. With two men on bases
and two out Deal made a long drive
to right field which on the Union
Street grounds would have cleared
the fence by Is yards, but after a
hard run the right fielder caught
the ball which ended the game.
Breckenridge pitched q great
ball game excepting in the seventh
when two singles and a double as
