Chicago. Aug. 25.-For the purpose Of
ascertaining what proportion of the pop
ulation of Chicago attends church on
Sunday the Record Herald yesterday
made a count Of the men and women at
the larger places of worship within the
city. The general results follow:
Men at church, 80 S44; women at
church. 123723. Total, 204, ,567.
Men in Chicago, 562,15S; women In Chi
cago, 1862. Total 1,2S9,S15.
Percentage-Men at church, 14.4;
women at church, 40. Men and women
at church, 1873.
The total number of churches in Chi
Cago is 666. Manifestly 1t would be i'm
possible to count the attendance at all
of these churches except by elaborate
preparation. One hundred and twenty
five leading churches were therefore Sc
lected, and a careful count was made Of
the people present with the following re-
suits: Men, 26,94S; women, 41,241; total,
6S, 1Ss.
1t was decided after a study Of statistics
that a conservative estimate of the to-
tai number in attendance at the churches
Of the city yesterday would be three
times the numbers counted. To deter
mine the percentages that these numbers
bore to the total adult popuat Of Chi
cago the United States census Of 1900 was
used as a basis. AS the population in
creased at the rate of 5.44 per cent an
nually between 1900 and 1902, 1t was con-
sidered that the population for 1902 could
reasonably and conservativ be consid-
cred 10 per cent greater than 1t was in
1900 and the percentage computations
were made on this basis.

NO POWER IN THE GOSPEL
PessImIst!c Utterances Of the Rev. e. v
ShayIer

New York Sun Special News Service.
Chicago, Aug. 25.-Rev. E. V. Shayler
preached yesterday morning at the Grace
church, Oak Park, on THE Moral Obliga-
tion Of the Citizens to the State" He
said:
"The honest man is the highest work
of God The reason there are so few men
and women to-day that are without guile
IS because there Is no power in the gospel
as 1t IS preached to-day. The gospel has
lost its power Twenty centuries ago
twelve apostles went out from Jerusalem
and preached the gospel of Christ and
men we're moved to follow in the steps
OF Jesus because these mer prea ched
fearlessly. To-day with million preach
ers a thoroughly honest man is hard to
find. The preacher Of the present day
breaches to please his congregation.
In the county in which we live there
are frauds perpetrated through political
machinery that ought to set every honest
man to thinking. The state, the guar
dian of the people, is coming before us
with scenes Of corruption that would have
made Rome blush with shame. What is
religion doing to stop this?
Until the Christian is as honest at his
daily employment as he is In the house
OF God the gospel will continue on its
downward course

''Mr. Macauley has asked to sit at our
table," Mrs. Sherwood said to Helen.
May beg you to come at once? Your
father is holding places for u.s. -.<
Certainly" she answered. II will fol-
low you with Mr.. Harkless."-
II think Mr.. Harkless will excuse
you," said the elder lady. "He has an
engagement. Mr.. Meredith has been
looking everywhere for him to take Miss
Hinsdale out to supper
Goodnight, Miss Sherwood" said
John in cheerful voice. II thank you

her hand. I'm so sorry sha'nt see
you again; am only in Rouen for this
evening, or I should ask you to come to
see me. am leaving tomorrow morn
Ing. od-night.-Yes, mamma
The three figures went toward the
bright lights OF the club house. She was
leaning on Macauley's arm and chatting
gaily; smiling up at him brightly. John
watched her till she was lost in the
throng on the veranda There, in the
lights, where walters were arranging
little tables, every one was talking and
moving about, noisiy odhumored and
happy. There was a flourish of violins,
and then the orchestra swung into a
rampant march that pra,;ced like un-

old men with militant bugle calls and
blast of horns; it might have heralded
the chariot Of a famboyant- war god,
rlotlng out Of sunrise, plumed with
youth. Some quite young men on the
Veranda made as If they were restive
horses champtng at the bit and heading
a procession, and, from group near by,
loud laughter pealed.
John Harkless lifted to his face the
hand that had held hers; there was the
faint perfume of her glove. He kissed
his own hand Then he put that hand
and the other to his forehead, and sank
into her chair. 49,,
Let me get hack" he said. Let me
get back to Plattville, where I belong"
Tom Meredith came. calling him.

and put his hand on the others shoulder.

The next day he could not leave his
bed; his wounds were feverish and his
weakness had returned. Meredith was
shaken with renIorse because he had let
him wander around in the damp night
air with no one to look after him.

COAST Is SAFE
The Blue Squadron Captures Pills
bury's Ships.

Brockport, Mass, Aug. 25.-The naval
search problem off the New England
coast was terminated at $50 Sunday
morning by the signal "Surrender; de-
mand and unconditional from Rear Ad-
miral Higginson's flagship, and the reply
Accept surrender" from the fore truck
of the Prairie. Commander Pillsbury's 9
flagship
The battle between the blue or de-
Tending squadron and the white, or at
tacking squadron. was thus quickly
ended eight miles south Of Thatcher $
island. The enemy had most signally
failed to make harbor, having for its
objective Salem. A preponderance of
fighting strength, relatively "a points,
represented by the battleships Kear-
sarge, Alabama and Massachusetts,
whelmed the 45 points represented by the
auxiliary cruisers Prairie, Panther and
Supply. To speak from a theoretic stand
point, the white squadron was entirely
destroyed by the guns Of the defending
battleships. Thus on the fourth night
the game of naval strategy was brought
to an end, 1t having covered a period OF
unceasing toll sleepless nights. Of anx-
1ous and wearing vigil and OF grave un-
certainty to its participants.
At $50 o'clock Saturday night three
battleships Of the blue squadron got un-
der way in hurry and sailed to the
eastward. The intention was to move
on to Portland, but Admiral Higginson
DETECTED his course back to Gloucester
after a swing seaward in response to q
report that the enemy had not been
sighted, wher 1t was believed he had
been. In the last hours of the night
Pillsbury sailed toward Cape Ann from
the outside, and, as 1t proved, right un-
der the very guns of the defendine
squadron. Commander Pillsbury, wher
still out to sea, after maneuverins
headed straight for Salem harbor But
the desired vantage point was not
reached. When the boats had arrived
off Magnolia they were sighted by the
signal station on Bakers Island. A mes.
sage was sent to the station at Rookpor,
here, and the torpedo boat Barney wa.
sent out to notify the blue squadron.

Persistency of Representative Gaines

One OF the most persistent members OF
the House is Representative John Wesley
Gaines, Of the Nashville, Tenn. district:
When he starts after anything he never
lets up until he has accomplished his
purpose. This trait in his character was
well illustrated the other day when he
secured the passage Of the bill appro-
priating 81, 500 to construct a road to the
National Cemetery at Dover. Tenn.
This was the first bill introduced in the
House by Representative Gaines after he
had been sworn in as member of the
Fifty-ffth Congress, and he had intro
duced the bill in each succeeding Con-
gress to which he was elected. He al
ways managed to have the bill favorabiy
reported from the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, to which 1t was referred,
but. like the great majority of bills re-
ported to the House, 1t would die on the
calendar, the opportunity never being
presented to call 1t up for consideration.
The one thing connected with the pas
sage Of the bill that caused a little COM
ment was the fact that Mr.. Gaines asked
for and obtained unanimous consent for
its consideration

Cripple Creek No Longer Lawless.

In small buckskin bag Mr.. Philip
schuch. of Colorado. who Is registered at
the Arlington, carries evidence that Grip
pie Creek is still the rich mining region,
the tales OF which led many not long
ago to leave their happy homes in the
East to pursue a golden fortune. The
bag is heavy with the weight of choice
samples of rich ore which assay from
slO0 to 5000 per ton. The specimens OF
the latter grade glisten almost like dia-
monds, so thickly is the fake Of yellow
scattered through the baser material.
The opinions expressed by Mr.. Schuch,
who is himself mine owner and the
proprietor of ore mills, are evidence that
Cripple Creek has lost the lawless spirit
it once possessed and is fast becoming a
well-ordered municipality.
THE camp-we still call 1t by that
name-of Cripple Creek has a population
of about 10000 people" said Mr.. Schuch.
THE city of Cripple Creek has a popula-
tion of 5000. 1t is we'll governed and

ters are fast disappearing. Many Of

An Early Breakfast at Chevy Chase.

Representative sibley is probably the
best whip in Congress. He has great
fondness for horses; in fact, for animals
of all kinds. and possesses one of the
largest stock farms in the Keystone State.
He is an expert horseman, and no stage
coachman of the old days can excel him
in handling the rcins.
One day last week Mr.. Sibley arose
early, had four fine eQuines from his
stable harnessed to a big tally-ho, then
went around and aroused dozen of his
colleagues and drove them out to Chevy
Chase for breakfast. The trip was some
what exciting one. as the Pennsylvania
Representative never takes the dust of
any team on the road.
When the guests arrived at Chevy
Chase every man had good appetite. and
ate with probably more relish and en-
joyment than before for a month When
1t was over some one suggested that they
might be late in getting to the Capitol.
Don't worry" said Mr.. Sibley, "I'll
see that you arrive there on time and
he did, although II there had been any
bicycle policemen able to keep pace with
the tally-ho, there might have been a
delay.

UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME.
The Passing of "Jack Tar"

Representative Foss. the chairman of
the Committee on Naval Affairs, has a
great admiration for the old Jack Tar"
but believes that his day is passed.
During his remarks upon the naval ap-
preparation bill the other day Mr. Foss
said that the needs and necessities of the
navy today could not be measured by the
yardstick of forty years ago.
The evolution of the modern battle
ship" said Mr.. Foss, brought about a
wonderful change. The Jack Tar who
was the inspiration of Coopers tales has
become tradition. Old Jack. with his
rough exterior. with language largely of
profanity, sitting and smoking his pipe
perchance squirting tobacco Juice with
greater accuracy than the trained gunner
Of today can hit his mark with shot OF
shelI-hss become tradition. Jack went
OF the ship when sails went off, and when
masts went off. He went off in the evoIu-
tion of the modern battleship.
And in his place has come the trained
machinist, the trained gunner, the trained
seaman; and it requires education to train
these men to man the ship and to per-
form the different duties In connection
with the careful manning and oficering
OF the ship. In view of the great COM
ple1ity OF machinery and mechanism
which obtains in our battleships. And so
this In some measure is a reason why IL
