LIFE OF WILLIAM
M'KINLEY HIS THEME
Rev. F. w. Moot breaches Eloquent
Sermon at st. Paul's Lutheran
Church.

Rev. F. W. Moot, pastor of ST. Paul s
Lutheran Church, took the iife of Presi-
dent Mckinley as the subject of his
morning sermon. In the course of his
remarks. Mr. Moot said:
I'm ancient times mothers were ac-
customed to lead their children to pub
lie squares where stood the statues of
great leaders and heroes. The deeds of
these men were held up before the
youthful eyes that they might learn no.
bility of purpose.
History affords no better character
today than the citizen, statesman, gov
ernor, President-William Mckinley. He
was of that type of character which is
the pride of all Americans-a self-made
man. His character in public or private
was unimpeachable.
He possessed a broad intellect and a
prophetic vision. He was modest, dig
nified, unselfish. faithful to his friends.
unwavering in matters of principle. and
had sublime trust in God. He had
noble ideals and ;iHselfsh aims. He
won the hearts of his countrymen in all
sections of the nation, and was in closer
touch and sympathy with the great
mass OF the American people than any
man has ever been, unless II was Abra
ham Lincoln. In his life he taught the
world how man should live, and in his
death he showed how Christian can
die"

DR.. W. P. CARR NARROWLY
ESCAPES SERIOUS INJURY
Attempts to Run Hospital Elevator and
Goes Down With Car-The
Machinery Damaged.

DR.. W. P. Carr. former Coroner of The
District, had a narrow escape from Sc.
rious injury at the Emergency Hospita
shortly sitter noon yesterday. He hat
been there during the forenoon to per.
form an operation and, after completing
this task, decided that he would pay 8
visit TO another patient who was on one
of the upper floors of the hospital.
Although the regulations OF the insti-
tuition forbid everyone, even employees
with the exception of the ianitor and
the night man. from running the eleva-
tor, DR.. Carr entered the car and pulled
the rope. He went up, but as it requires
rather peculiar handling of the rope
10 stop the elevator, instead of coming
to stop, it started downward again.
There was smashing Of ropes and the
two big cogwheels in the rear of the
elevator shaft were thrown out of place.
The elevator struck the first floor heay-
lily, and il was feared the physician was
injured. He escaped, however. with a
shaking-up. He decided to postpone his
visit to his patient until later day.
The elevator service at the hospital
= suspended for the present.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
DlSPLEASED BY SERMON
CONTINUED from First rage.)

CONTINUED from First Pagc-)
communion, the Dutch Reiormeu' IL
Oyster Bay.
The Rev DR.. Washburn, VINO was once
a locomotive engineer. was an araeh'
admirer of William J. Bryan, ana during
the last Presidential campaign created
not little uneasiness and friction IN
his congregation by his political ac-
tivity.
When a year ago the country was
plunged in grief, the Rev. lir. WASH
burn preached sermon to which many
of his congregation say his sermon OF
today should be attached as a compan-
ion piece. In it he charged the assassl-
nation of President Mckinley upon the
trusts and the growth of luxury In the
nation. The President, who was IN
Washington at the time, had never heard
of that sermon.
The Rev. DR.. Washburn came out of
church in the happiest frame OF mind.
He felt and told some of his friends that
he felt that he had preached sermon
worthy of the occasion. 1t was nearly
two hours after the service was over
while he was arranging for the dis
tribution of copies of the sermon for
publication. when he learned of the
Presidents displeasure.
The Rector Puzzled.
DR.. Washburn was greatly puzzled.
He was at less to understand he said,
why he should be criticised for the ser
mon.
Nobody could imagine he said,
that President Roosevelt was respon-
sible in any way for-what l said. l have
not spoken with him for many weeks.
and never upon the subject discussed
today He had nothing to do with it
not by any means
1t is not considered likely that the
President will continue TO attend serv
ices at Christ Church while the Rev.
Dr. Washburn remains as it's rector.
Since Thursday the streets of the viii
lage have been gay with flags and other
decorations put on in anticipation of the
great holiday tomorrow, when Nassau
county is to storm Sycamore Hill. The
of the reception from Sep
tember s on account of the Presidents
Southern trip, seemed only to increase
the enthusiasm of his neighbors to make
the day of the reception a remarkable
festival.
The flags and other decorations were
all up today, but many left the flags that

FAREWELL SERMON OF
REV. JOHN VAN Ness
Pastor of Takoma Church
Gives UP HIS Charge.
Called to Suburb of Philadelphia-No
Clergyman Yet Chosen to
Take His Place.

The Rev. John Van Ness. pastor OF
Park, preached his farewell sermon yes
terday preparatory to giving up the
church for a new charge in Philadei-
phia.
The edifice was lavishly decorated
with autumn flowers, which filed al
most the entire chancel, covering rhe
organ, reading desk and chairs. Special
music was rendered by the choir, aug
mented by several well-known choir
members from this city.
The congregation composed almost the
entire town of Takoma, as Mr.. Van Ness
mas been much liked both in the pulpit
and socially during the seven years that
ne has been the pastor at Takoma. and
there was much regret over his leav-
ing.
The announcement was made in The
Times more than two months ago that
Mr.. Van Ness had received call from
the Philadelphia church, and that he
would probably accept it after his re-
turn from his summer vacation. A short
time ago he notified the officers of the
church that he had decided to give up
his charge and go to the new field.
Change Promotion.
The change is in the nature of pro-
motion for Mr.. Van Ness, as the Phila-
delphia church is larger and more pros
porous financially than that at Ia
koma
Mr.. Van Ness is young man, and .he
Takoma charge was the first of his min
istry. He was ordained there and has
been there ever since.
MIR. Van Ness chose for his text the
verse from Paul's epistle to the Cor
Finally, brethren, farewell,
He dwelt feelingly on his ministry at
Takoma, telling the story of how the
church has grown from beginning with
him and recitingeits present prosperity.
AS he wished the congregation Godspeed
with break in his voice, the emotion
of those present was audibly mani
tested.
The Takoma congregation has not yet
chosen its new pastor. Several clergy
men will preach during the coming
month. and it is probable that one of
these will be called.

That was strikingly true of the mar

was Rearing Washington upside down he
was universally criticised. Today he is
universally honored.
1T is too soon for history to place
fairly the name of William Mckinley
And although the lapse of year is not
long enough to enable US to venture to
judge with feeble sense the Providence
of God in that good mans death, yet
some of its lessons have been empha-
sized much within the year. And, while
it is not until long 'afterward' that the
fruit of Affections appears either TO in
dlyiduals or to nations, yet We may dwell

LAST OF THE SUMMER
RECESS VACATIONS

The last of the vacation terms OF
the summer recess of the Supreme Court
of the District will begin today. Justice
Job Barnard will succeed Justice Ander-
son on the bench, and will take up for
consideration all business demanding
immediate attention.
The summer recess extends over pe-
riod of three months, and at the COM
mencement-July lit was believed that
the President would without delay fill
the vacancy on the bench caused by the
death of Justice Bradley. In case that
had been done each of the six mem
bers of the bench would have only two
weeks vacation" duty to do. The ap-
pointment was not made, however, and
the term of duty of each of the five JUS
tices was increased so as to equalize the
time served.
Justice Barnard will preside in all
branches of the curt until the opening

the various departments.
Apparently the public appreciates the
advantages here held out to 1t for the
nrst time, and it is about to take ad-
vantage of one of the finest collections

without fear of contradiction that the

GREAT WESTERN EXTENSION.

The Great Westerns track laying
machine will be operating in Carroll
before we hardly have time to realize
what is going on. 1t is reported that
they are now laying steel this side of
Lohrvile, and at the rate of two miles
{, day. which it is claimed the machine
will do, the steel will be laid thru Car
roll in less than three weeks. Indica-
tions this week point toward the
the completion of the Omaha extension
on contract time and Great Western
trains will be entering the city by Jan.
l. great amount of interest has been
centered on the viaduct across the Des
Moines river near Fort Dodge, one OF
the most important features on the new
line. The first span was erected last
week. The huge steel laying machine.
known as the Traveller was operated
with success. The machine propels it
self. at the same time placing the steel
spans. A nine-foot track. on which the
traveller will operate, is now being laid
on the first span, after which additional
steel will be put in place. While only
1000 tons of the $500 tons required to
complete the structure is on the ground,
the remainder is either on the way or
will be sent from the mills in the near
future
