We have heard Of men falling asleep on
the railroad track, of sentries sleeping at
their posts and Of soldiers browsing in the
face Of terrific fire from the enemy; but
here's a case which beats them all;
A Wilmington bridegroom, on the way
to his own wedding and cognizant of the
fact that dear friends and relatives, includ-
ing, of course, the aftianced bride herself,
are anxiously awaiting his arrival, care
lessly falls asleep in railway station, misses
his train and upsets all the happy arrange

four hours later, all the guests had departed,
the clergyman had gone home and the sup
per had gone cold, But. fortunately, the
lady's heart was still warm and the cere-
mony was performed with as little further
delay as possible.
II the responsibilities Of married life
do not suffice to cure this Wilmingtonian

Wesley and the Eighteenth Century
Revival.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: You
say that John Wesley started a revival in
she English Church when the spirit of religion
was at low ebD." Allow me very respect
fully to say that this was not the fact. The
revival was not started and did not prevail
in the English Church. John Wesley did not
START it and was not the leader or chief factor
in it.
George Whitefeld was the first and chief
factor in the revival. He became a strict
Calvinst in theology and Presbyterian in
church government. Nearly if not quite
all Of his associates in the revival. like Au-
eustus Toplady, were Calvinists. Whiteneld
began the work at Bristol and Kingswood
The Wesleys. John and Charles. were then
in the Church Of England and were rigid
High Churchmen. John Wesley was sacra-
mentarian. He demanded that Disscntere.
should be rebaptized before being received

ley refused. saying he could not think of
preaching outside of consecrated chureh.

resorSs that ssh hs ysad He should have
thought the saving Of souls almost sin. If
it had not been done in a church"
fore Whitehead finally persuaded Wesley to
engage in it; John and Charles wesley
unlike the calyinstc preachers rested their
sortilege and cast lots to decide the case.
The term Methodist" applied to the re-
ligous movement did not mean then what it
does now. II was not an ecclesiastical term.
for there was then no Methodist Church;
1t was the designation of the methods"
adopted y the revival, .Whiteheld was
called the "Calvinistc establisher Of Method
ism" lie was regarded as the representa-
tive of the movement throughout the Chris
tian world. Walpole. in his Letters" men
lions Wesley only once In connection with
the Methodist Revival" while he frequently
mentions Whiteheld. Mant. in the hampton
Lectures for 1912. speaks Of II as entirely a
"Calvinistic AFFAIR" WedswoOd. in his Life
of John Wesley" page 1877, says: Neither
the force nor mechanism which gave rise to

language of the time Calvinism and Method
ism were synonymous terms The then

The great modern Methodist Church was

Calvinism, not Armininnism, originated 1t
and mainly conducted II, until Wesley intro
dnced the controversial element by his mis-
representation and dcnunciatlon Of Calvin
ism A result of the controversy was the
initiation of the present Methodist Church;

RpsH TO THE PUBEIC BArHS.


A visit to the public baths yesterday
showed that there were plenty Of persons
who did not go to the seashore or spend
the day In the country, There are dozen
public baths open in Manhattan and they
were crowded all day. Most of them have
been open since July /, and couple moro
will be opened in few days.
The rush began early in the morning and
kept up all day, At nearly all the baths
there was always waiting line. The
attendants were kept busy, although thew
seldom have any trouble in handling the
bathers, who are 80 pleased at getting into
the cool water that they pay no attention
to anybody BIZ. themselves
At some of the baths il wss estimated
that there were 1000 bathers an hour.
There are two baths at the foot of East
Third street and they couldn't accommo-
date the crowd.
The baths that we're open yesterday arc
as follows: On the West SiGe-Little West
Twelfth street, Thirty-fifth street. Eighty
second street, Ninety-seventh street and
l30th street. On the East Side-Third
street, Twenty-fourth street and Ninety
first street. At some Of these places there
are two baths.
The baths are open for women on Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays. and for
men on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
During certain hours each day the Board
Of Education has instructors at the baths
to teach the children how to swim.

does he not express the Christian senti-
ment which is manifested In the run
OF the theological seminaries and, Incl
dentally and indirectly, at least, in Chris
tian pulpits most distinguished by their
intellectually?
What really do the Jews believe Of the
Biblep asks DR.. ELIAS. In view of the
revelations Of destructive criticism from
Christian pulpits and theological semi
naries, may we not also ask, What do in
tellectual Christians believe Of the Bible?
Is it the belief Of generation ago, or is
it view of the Bible in which belief has
been succeeded by examination and
criticism of the Bible as purely human
document?
Is it not probable that more than any
where else interested readers and con-
WINGED disciples Of DELITzscH are in
Christian pulpits and in the chairs OF
theological faculties?

The Handsomest Man in Iowa

The Hon. ALBERT B. CUNIMINs was re-
nominated for Governor by the Iowa
Republicans on a platform the tariff and
trust parts of which, written by that
cautious old stager, the Hon. WILLIAM
B. ALLISON, make no mention of Mr.
CUMMINS's fixed idea or hallucnation
about shelter to trusts" Mr.. CUMMINs
tried to do justice to himself in his speech
o. acceptance:
For myself have during the last two years
frequently given utterance to my views upon the
various phases Of the tariff and reciprocity These
views have not been hastily formed nor carcessly
expressed, and I shall maintain them In the future.
as have in the past simply because believe then
IN he true. | have the profoundest faith in the
policy Of protection. and And In the platform you
have lust adopted one OF the mos, complete and
emphatic tributes to It's wisdom and efficiency ever
penned by the hand Of man"
Mr.. CUMMINs is thoroughly satisfied
with himself and with the platform,
which, however, can scarcely be re-
garded by those who study it without
prepossession as being a particularly
complete tribute to the wisdom and
efficiency of Mr.. CUMMINs. Still, he is
contented with it, or says he is. The
Republicans who differ with him are
contented with it. So everybody is, or
ought to be, happy
We shall not enter into the amicably
settled controversy in which both dis
putants believe that they have carried
of the victory. 1t is more satisfactory
to refer to glory of Mr. CUMMINs's
which not more than one jealous hand
will seek to wrench from him. Mr. WILL
LIAM L. CURTIS, veteran observer who
went to the Iowa convention. affirms
that Governor CUMMTNs ~ a hand
some man. | heard one Of his admirers
say that he was the handsomest man in
Iowa." This is distinction enough for
Mr.. CUMMINs, even If the Iowa Republi-
cans refused to invade the shelter Of
monopoly,
But the Hon. JONATHAN PRENTIss DOL
LIVER of Fort Dodge will be put out by
this award of the apple Of beauty.

A Canadian Day Of Retrospect.

On July Canada celebrated her Do
minion Day in recognition Of the thirty
sixth anniversary of the union OF the
provinces and the establishment of the
present form of government. The day
was observed by a general suspension OF
business, by the substitution Of the dis
comforts Of pcnics for the labors of
store and shop, and by generous attend
ance upon athletic games and sports,
where partisans waxed enthusiastic and
shouted themselves hoarse in their exu-
berant energy. The people did much
as we do on the Fourth Of July, without
making so many noises.
Such incidents always present an OPP
portunity for retrospect. In all de-
partments except that Of population
Canada's development within this period
has been remarkable While there has
been a notable increase in the number
OF her people, from about 35oO,ooO to
about 5,5OO,OOO, the total is still very
small for her vast area and her abundant
resources. Canada's total increase in
thirty-six years has been only about one
half of the total immigration into the
United States during the last ten years.
The notable feature appears in the
achievements of these people. In 1887
Canada had only little more than 1000
miles of railway, with about 500 loco
motives and 5000 cars of all kinds,
transporting some 2,750,0oO passengers
and some 2,250, 900 tons of freight. She
, now has about 10000 miles of railway,
with $500 locomotives and $4,000 cars,
which transport q 900, 900 passengers and
AZ, SOC, 90 tons of freight.
In 1867 her total foreign commerce
was about 100000 In 1902 her ex-
port and import business amounted to
s4l4, 4S1, ISL At that time her revenues
were some $4,000, 600. They are now
about sec, 100000 In 1857 her total of bank
assets was a little less than $50, 200, 900
Now it is about $500, 900, 900 Her paid-up
bank capital was then S30,000,O 900, with
deposits of $50, 100000. Those items now
approximate s7O,OoO00o Of capital and
$500, 100000 Of deposits.
Statistics Of this kind might be piled
up indefinitely, but these are sufficiently
indicative Of the splendid progress made
by our northern neighbor within single
generation 1t is assuredly substan-
tial showing, and is an ample warrant for
the conviction which exists in the Do
minion that Canada has great future
before her. future with doors that are
now being opened to her Her people live
in abundant comfort, if not in luxury.
Schools and churches abound, and peace,
law and order prevail Her admirable
banking system averts serious CONNER
cial and financial panics
Canada has much in her past to which
abe reverts with pride, and she looks
forward to future filed with abundant
promise Of peace and plenty.

She has been known to do it in five min
utes less. The distance, according to
the trustworthy charts of the Coast Sur
vey, is I'M nautical, or 20 land, miles.
The Monmouth's speed on a run Of one
hour and five minutes is 1878 knots an
hour The gunboat Castine, one Of the
little ones, on her trial trip developed
a speed Of 1912 knots. Hence, she could
at that rate do the distance in $50 min
utes and beat the Monmouth one minute
and six seconds. A twenty-knot cruiser
could beat tho steamboat seven and one
half minutes, or nearly two miles.
None of the steam-y yacht men would
think it a grand achievement to beat
the little gunboat Castine. In fact,
most of them would feel rather ashamed
of going out to try such an easy one.
Why, then, should they fall tooth and
nail upon this unfortunate Asbury Park?
When Mr.. FLINr's swift Arrow did the
distance from the Southwest Spit to the
Battery in fifty-one minutes, she was
ust three minutes behind the old record
of NORMAN MUNRo's Now Then, which
went from Pier 8 to the point of Sandy
Hook in forty-seven minutes. The dis
lance from the Southwest Spit to the
Battery is 1919 miles, and the Arrows
speed, when she ran away from the poor
Asbury Park and waited fourteen min
utes for her to come up was 1891 knots
an hour.
Again, the little Castine at trial trip
speed would have made shows Of all of
them.

what DO They Believe OF the Bibleq

On Tuesday, DR.. KoHLER, the new
president of the Hebrew Union College
at Cincinnati, read paper on Assyr-
ology and the Bible 'at the Central Con-
ference Of American Rabbits in session
ut Detroit. It consisted of an elaborate
and severe criticism of the Babel and
Bible lectures of Prof. DELITzSCH.
The discussion Of this paper which
followed it's reading was really of more
significance than the paper itself, for il
brought out from Dr. BARNET A. ELIAS
of Charleston a very striking assertion.
The American-Jewish literature of the
last twenty years. said Or. ELIAS, gives
the reader the impression that, what
ever may now be said in opposition to
the chief results Of the Biblical criticism
of which DELITzsCH is the expounder,
actually they are admitted by the lead
ing men in the Jewish pulpit, DR.. KoH-
LER, he said. had found fault with them,
but he had not stated what the Jews
do believe Of the Bible
Even if Or. ELIAS does not correctly
express leading Jewish sentiment,

Beating the Asbury Park.

Beating the steamboat Monmo nth used
to be the favorite diversion of every
steam yacht having the slightest pre-
tension TO speed. When it was an
nounced that the New Jersey Central
Railroad Company would this season
place on its Atlantic Highlands route
anew and speedy vessel, capable OF beat
ing the Monmouth ten minutes on the run,
the steam-yacht men made ready to take
the pride out of the stranger. On Thurs
day last two Of the fast yachts lay in
wait for the new steamer and showed
her their heels in a most contemptuous
manner. The air was filed with stories
OF speed, and knots were reeled off in
talk at a rate that would have puzzled
the chief engineer Of the Deutschland.
Unfortunately, cruelty frank CORE
spondent of this paper on the very follow
ing morning disclosed the fact that the
Asbury Park was not so fast as the Mon
mouth, and that therefore all this hust-
ling of steam yachts was wasted, Ac-
cording to this gentleman, the new boat
took an hour and nineteen minutes to
make her run on Wednesday morning,
whereas the Monmouth's usual time is
nine minutes less than that, According
to the account of the Arrows defeat
of the Asbury Park on Thursday the
Yacht sped from the Southwest Spit to the
Battery in tifty-one minutes and then
waited fourteen minutes for the Asbury
Park to loom up through the mist.
All of this makes it possible to throw
a little light on much obscured SUBJ
iect. Beating the Monmouth, which
used to be so popular pastlme among
steam-yacht men, was never a wonder
full achievement, and beating the Asbury
Park js quite unnecessary. The con-
fusion of ideas about this matter arises
from a general and not unnatural ignor-
ance, in which some steamboat captains
share, as to the actual speed OF vessels.
The steamboat captains reckon the speed
of their vessels in land miles; the shippers
Of sea-going craft count in nautical
miles. Now, the latter is mile Of $3.50
feet, while the former is $3.50 In other
words, it takes about one land mile and
a seventh to make a nautical mile. The
speed of the great ocean flyers and OF
men-of-war is reckoned in nautical miles,
or at so many" knots per hour. River
steamers and bay craft never reel off
knots; they just make plain land miles.
1t used to be asserted with fine con-
fidenee that the Monmouth could do %
never has been known to do it. She
makes the run from her Highlands pier
to Pier in an hour and ten minutes.

The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1903-10-09
Miss Georgia Harper in Camille.

The wonderful story of Camille,
Alexander Dumas, Jr.'s conception OF
the most remarkable character ever
created in fiction, is best interpreted
by the Georgia Harper company. Miss
Georgia Harper has we'll been term
ed a born actress, and in Camille she
best verifies the truth of this state
ment. A woman of the world stricken
with pure love sacrifices everything
for Armand Duval, the object of her
affection, and then for his sake, at
the request of his father, she even
sacrifices her life for him. No great
er demonstration was ever given OF
the power OF. love, and no greater
sacrifice was ever made than that of
Camille. Miss Harper is Camille from
the rising of the curtain to the death
scene as the curtain goes down on
the last act. Her work is SO realistic
that it is long after the play is over
until one can convince ones self that
it is only a play and not real life
presented. 1t is safe to say that Miss
Harper has not a superior as Camille
on the American or any other stage.
In this great play, especially staged
and costumed for her, she is sup
ported by one of the strongest COM
panies that could be organized. Mr..
DERRICK as Armand Duval ranks next
to Miss Harper as an actor, and Mr..
J. G. Harper as the elder Duval is
especially strong in the support.
Miss Harper will appear in Camille
at the opera house Tuesday evening,
Oct. Ii.
