SUMNER LEAVES
FOR FAR TAHITI

John X. Sumner went away yester-
day with the remnant of his fortune.
| Accompanied by Wally Davis and the
latter's wife he left on the Alameda
for the coast intending to go from
there to Tahiti. Out of the $4,000
paid him by the Oahu railroad, he car
ried off something less than $50, GOO.
Upon this comfortable sum Wally Da-
Wis viii keep his eye. Almost the last
| familiar sight the old man saw was
! a company of lawyers in a tug keep
ing pace with the Alameda. Happily
the lawyers, for once, were not after,
tee parting hurrah.
One OF those who We're left on the
dock disconsoiate was Admiral ]. f.
James. The Admiral was Sumner'sl
factotum for four months and has HIS.
commission in writing. 1t is the onlyl
commission he got. Sumner promised
him all sorts of money but it was nev-'
er in sight. James says that at onei
time the old man wanted to send him
to Tahiti to bring back a niece of thes
Princess. his late wife. whom he wish
ed to marry. Most of the Tahiti prop
erty which he inherited from his wifeS
stands in her name. But for some reason
or other Admiral James thought it
wisest to stay here. The value of the
Tahiti property on which Sumner couldf
realize without marriage is only $1,000.
SO he told James, and there may be a
hundred head Of cattle on it,
The Ellises, who lately asked the
Supreme Court to declare Sumner i'm
sane and appoint a guardian for his
property are also out of it, But theirs
nests were pretty we'll feathered before4s
the row came so they have small reason
to complain. "a
Sumner was in high glee when heN
left yesterday but he had a sharp eye
out for lawyers.

The Steamship NJ. +. Plants Rough
Experience on the Florida CORst.
The steamship NJ. f. Plant arrived
here yesterday with her boilers Leak
ing after a rough experience off the
Florida coast on her voyage from Tam
pa to Philadelphia The Plant came
up to the city at 2 o'clock under her
own steam, and docked at the Gordon
wharf, where she will remain until
coed to-day.
The ship encountered tempestuous
weather, though she was not damage
in the storm, nor was her cargo Shift
ed. The seas We're high and the wind
blew with hurricane velocity. The
little steamer was in this weather fif-
~ hours ana while she labored heav-
lily kept in sound condition.
When a newspaper man reached her
last night the surroundings were in
darkness and all the officers had re-
tired. 4 seaman on watch called the
captain, who returned word that he
had nothing to say. A few questions
fired al random at seamen about deck
brought Capt. Birdsall from his cabin.
THE more you ask that fellow the
more you'll be puzzled" he interpos-
ed.
I'VE came through all right in the
old way by keeping her head to the
sea-" said the captain The reports
that we have had rough time of 1t
are true, but we came out without
loss of anything or damage to the YES
sci. Our mascot, the ships dog, was
the only thing to come near going over
board. Repairs will be made to the
boiler at once, and we expect to be
delayed only a few hours
Exaggerated reports had reached the
Bay about Capt. Birdsalls experience
which provoked amusement from MIN
when asked about them. .
"Some said your cargo shifted dldn
it," he was asked -. ;,
WHAT'S that? Nothing of the sort, "
shouted the captain, for the frst time
becoming communicative. I'VE had no

COST OF DENYING CHRIST.
Rev. C. A. JncksOn's Subject at
Grace Church.

I1CNs - a. OHclAHOH SNDS~-
Grace Church.
At the Grace NJ. e. Church last
night Rev. c. A. Jackson preached on
the theme, THE Cost of Denying
Christ"
His text was found in the twenty
third chapter of ST. Matthew, where
is graphically described the destruc-
ton of Jerusalem and the preacher
dwelt very forcibly on the words of
the text, Your home is left to you
desolate, your city is left unto you de-
stroyed."
Among other things he said, These
are among the most eloquent touch
ing utterances of our Lord. Nowhere in
the Bible is the ruin of people so
graphically depicted. Only once did
Christ speak with more touching
words; when he was suffering on the
cross and in agony cried, My Father
why have Thou deserted me- The
last appeal was made to heaven and
was the appeal of love, The other was
reproach to the people of this
earth. Christ loved his father with
a love greater than men can con-
ceive. He also loved men. His love
for man was so gerat that, despite
the demonstrance of all others, He
came to this earth to die that mans
sins might be forgiven. And yet he
had no welcome here. Men were ever
distant and afar off from him and
even his disciples could not draw night
to Him as they should.
How far are you away from
Christ to-day?' asked Rev. Mr.. Jack
son. What kind of a welcome have
you given him into your souls and into
your daily life? What barriers have
you allowed to be constructed about
you and what care of life have you al
lowed to press in upon you and crush
out Christ? Oh, how many of our
homes are well nigh Goddess? Even
how many of our churches are so?
Have you ever stopped to consider
what this will bring you? Do you
know that all institutions and all lives
that are not of Christ are doomed
even as the CITY of Jerusalem was
doomed? You have all the advantages
that YOU could ask for. You live in
the magnificent influences of a Chris
tan civilization. You have been en-
downed with brilliant mental faculties,
with all the pleasures and delights i'm
aginable. Yet still you cast Christ out
of YOUR hearts and admit sensual,
worldly pleasures instead. Many of
your churches are to Christ as sound
ing brass and tinkling cymbals, be-
cause the love of Christ is not there.
All of these are doomed. The young
man, wonderfully endowed mentally
and physically will loose his powers
and become a wreck in old age. The
church will amount to nothing; whole
cities and nations will be destroyed;
all will be doomed unless they have
Christ in their hearts. But it is not
too late now. You have this invita-
ton of His to come Seek we first the
kingdom of God What will it profit
you if We cain the whole world and
loose your SOUL"

STEAMER is ASHORE
STEAMSHIP NEW ORLEANS DIS
ABLED OFF HUNTING ISLAND.
TUGS SENT TO HER RESCUE.
BELIEVED SHE Is AGROUND IN IN
SIDE PASSAGE.

Telegram from Beaufort to Mer-
chant and Miners Savannah Agent
Reported the steamer Disabled
and Asked That Assistance Be
Sent at Once-Capt. Avery Left
Last Night With Two Tugs-Win
Reach Hunting Island This Morn
inE-NOt Believed the New Orleans
Is In Any Danger-May BE Delayed
Day.
The steamship New Orleans of the
Merchants and Miners Transportation
Line is reported disabled off Hunting
Island, South Carolina. A message to
the Savannah agent of the Merchants
and Miners Company was received last
night from Beaufort asking that as
sistance be sent. Capt. Van B. Avery,
manager of the Propeller Towboat
Company, left at once with two tugs
and will reach Hunting Island this
morning.
The New Orleans left Baltimore
Thursday and passed out of Cape
Henry at l o'clock Friday afternoon.
She was due here this morning. Ow-
ing to the rough weather Capt. Pc
tiers put into st. Helena sound, taking
the inside passage to Port Royal. 1t
is supposed that the vessel is ashore
on the west side of the island.
Information MeaRer.
Agent Smith of the Merchants and
Miners line is out of the city. Chief
Clerk Loyal could give very little in
formation. He doubted that the New
Orleans was in any trouble. If any
vessel was disabled he believed it was
either the State of Texas or the d. H.
Miller, both of which left here Satur-
day night, the Texas for Baltimore and
the Miller for Philadelphia. There is
little doubt, however, that the disabled
vessel is the New Orleans.
Varying statements were made as to
the number of passengers on board. One
statement was that there were fifteen
passengers, and another that there was
but one passenger.
RumOrs of the Vessels Loss.
There were all sorts of rumors On
the street as to the vessel the one
most current being that she had gone
ashore on Hunting Island. where the
Ocean Steamship City of Savannah
was lost in 1893. A lack of informa-
ton, except that tugs had gone to her
assistance, added to the exaggeration
of the rumors.
The Beaufort telegraph office, the
nearest telegraph station to Hunting
Island closed soon after the message
calling for assistance was sent, and
no further information could be OBJ
tanned.
At the Merchants and Miners office
there is no apprehension concerning
the New Orleans safety, and it is ex-
pected that she will arrive here some
time tomorrow.

The bulk of the resort crowd, how
ever, remained in the house and tele-
phoned the Morning News for informa-
ton about the storm. The concerts
were given at the Casino, and consid-
ering the weather conditions, were en-
loved by a fair sized crowd.

will be largely attended and greatly

Supt. A. A Artley of the

found factor for much good. Interest

this way when they would possibly be
in no other. Moreover, the progress of
the work is better shown, and those
engaged in it aroused to stronger eff
forts for better results
Rev. A. r. Miller, pastor of the

Sunday-school, and will contribute
much in the preparations for Rally
