AN EvANeELIsr's ATTACK.
Ing Works of the Devil-The Church To-
Day n Circuit of the Theater.


Detroit, Mich, Sept. 2S-The ma
tional convention of the Disciples OF
the Lord" opened here yesterday after
noon. The day was devoted to re-
ligious services and the principal
speaker was Evangelist John Smith, OF
Cleveland, who claims he is called to
preach the gospel of Christ by God
Himself. He made a bitter attack on
all forms of worldly amusement, which
he characterized as being the works OF
the devil. In his opinion it is for
worldly amusement only that the ma
iority of people attend church. The
church of to-day is nothing more than
circuit of the theater, he declared.
while the choirs who sing the beautiful
and sacred hymns in many cases are
going straight to perdition. They are
paid large salaries to stand up and
prostitute the music of God. Preach
ing with most of the h-priced min
listers, he continued, is only business
proposition, as they are hired for the
amusement they can give their con-
gregations. Real Christianity has
gone glimmering, he said, and the form
of worship in many of the churches
Is but hollow mockery.

The Imitation of the Great Fire Not q Suc-
cess Owing to q Storm-SpecialS ery-
ices In Churches.

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-The centennial
celebration of the founding of this
city was formally opened Saturday
night, when several tons Of red fire
powder was burned on the street COR
ners in the attempt to give an imita,
ton of the great Chicago fire. The
"conf1agration" was not the success
hoped for, because of heavy storm
which prevailed throughout the time
set for the burning of the red fire. The
rain fell in torrents, the wind blew
half a gale and nearly everybody, save
the man whose business it was to feed
the red fire, sought shelter indoors.
The exercises yesterday consisted of
special services in 700 churches in the
morning and a reunion in the after
noon of the six tribes of Indians en-
camped in Lincoln park. A crowd va,
riously estimated at from 100000 to
100000 persons visited the encamp-
ment to witness the Indians dance and
play their native games.

Missouri Recoups Live Stock Drain.

Columbia, Mo-, Sept. 2S.-Recent re
ports received by the Missouri board
of agriculture indicate the remarkable
fact that the total number of live stock
in this state is greater than in 1901.
The wonderful vitality of Missouri hus-
bandry was never more strikingly dem
onstrated. In but little more than two
years after the great drought and the
Boer war, which, taken together,
caused the greatest drain on Missouri's
live stock ever known, the state has
not only recovered from the shortage
but has to-day greater number OF
cattle, horses and mules than in 1901.

RICH MAN IN FEAR.
William Rockefeller Hurried Away
from Home in the Adirondacks. =,
Natives Had Begun to Show Hostility Be-
cause the Millionaire Had Forced Them
Out of q Village and Usurped
Their Property.

Malone, N. Y, Sept 29-William
Rockefeller, his family and their
guests have fed from their magnifi-
cent summer home at Bay Pond, in the
Adirondacks, fearing assassination at
the hands of the natives. That they
considered the danger imminent is
shown by the fact that they did not
wait for the regular train to-day, but
arranged for special train to carry
them out last night over the New
York & Ottawa railroad to New York
city Formerly the family remained
in the north woods until we'll into Oc-
tober, but the peril lurking about the
house was so great that it was deemed
best not to take chances.
The feeling against Mr. Rockefeller
was strongly shown in the village OF
Brandon, which is on his property,
about 3ha miles north of Bay Pond.
There were more than 100 houses in
Brandon about four years ago, all oc-
eupied. and the community was pros
porous. Now there are about 50
houses and only IA families remain.
Some of the buildings were removed
and others were burned to get them
out of the way. There could be moth
Ing more desolate than the village as
1t stands to-day, with almost all of the
houses closed, their doors and windows
barred.
All along the railroad are posted no
tfces signed by William G. Rockefeller,
announcing that the property is pri-
vate park and that there must be no
trespassing. These signs cover the
approaches to the village and are post
ed at the ends Of the streets. Just be-
yond the house is fringe Of woods
scared by fire. The streets were busy
: four years ago, when from 300 to 500
men worked in the woods round about
and l50, 900 feet of lumber were turned
out each day in the sawmill Now
one may walk through the village
with the probability of seeing nobody
except one of the two guards kept there
by Mr.. Rockefeller
These guards are the objects of, gen.
eral detestation by the IA families
who remain. They are brothers,
named Grant They go about with
guns on their shoulders, and it is in
sisted that their special mission is to
follow the men of Brandon whenever
they stray from their homes and enter
Mr.. Rockefeller's property.
