open the door. He ordered some one
who was on the stoop to leave, saying
he did not propose to be disturbed at
such an hour in the morning. The King
woman said that the answer from the
man on the stoop was a shot.
Pratt screamed and staggered back
into the house and the negro who
fired the shot escaped under cover of
darkness. Pratt told the woman that
he had been wounded by a colored
man.
The King woman told straight
story and was not placed under arrest.
She said that during the night there
had been two negro men in the house.
One of them left for some purpose,
and it is believed that he was the man
who returned and did the shooting.
While the police do not know it they
think 1t very likely that the negro had
been drinking and became suddeny in
censed when spoken to roughly by
Pratt. An inquest will probably be
held by Coroner Keller.

FAIR ENDORSED
FROM THE PULPIT.
Rev. j. d. Jordan Declares IL n Clean
InstifutiOn.

Institution
! ut has been said that the gamblers
! put up the money to run the fair ana
that the preachers are running 1t,
declared Rev. J. D. Jordan, pastor OF
the First Baptist Church, in his SER
mon last night. THE preachers are
not running the fair" he continued,
but l have been very much gratified
that when we as a body presented our
case to the management of the fair
protesting against gambling and gam
bling devices under the grand stand,
the managers Immediately assured us
that no further gambling would be
allowed. They have kept their word.
and, although some few fakirs, by
Misrepresentation, have worked their
way into the grounds, when discovered
they have been ousted.
While the fair is not all that Chris
tian people might desire, it is the
cleanest institution of its kind that
have ever seen. And everybody else
is saying the same thing"
Rev. Dr. Jordan had announced that
he would have something to say from
the pulpit concerning the fair, the
announcement attracted an unusually
large crowd. The above was the only
reference he made to it.
Rev. Df. Jordans sermon was a
continuation of his sermon of last sun
day night on "A duel and royal duels"
the lesson taught in the temptation
of Christ by the devil being followed
up and more fully discussed His text
was chosen from the fourth chapter
of St. Matthew, eighth to eleventh
verses.
"Imagine Christ sitting on a throne
set up by the devil, nheriting what
! the devil could give him had he for
a moment entertained the DEVILS prop
! osition to cast himself down." said the
minister. I'VE would never have as
ISOLATED the name of Jesus with love
and mercy; we would never have heard
of his greatness and his glory But
Jesus knew that although it was easier
to cast himself down. that he must
follow the path pointed out to him.
long and tedious. and that he must in
the end die on the cross that the world
might be redeemed.
Satan makes us some fattering
propositions sometimes" continued the
minister. He shows us where We can
make money very easily if we will
adopt his methods, but we should
eschew absolutely any partnership
with the devil even to make money
as some churches do by the rafting
of articles. The cattle on a thousand
hills belong to God, and we should
rather die clarifying him than to live
dishonoring his name"

IN LUTHER'S HONOR
SERVICES WERE HELD
Rally Day Services Held by Sunday
school, Church of Ascension.

Rally Day Services Held by sunday
school, Church of Ascension.
The four hundred and twentieth an
niversary of the birth of Martin Luther
was celebrated in the Lutheran
churches yesterday with special serv-
ices. In the st. Paul's Church these
services took the form of sermons APP
propriate to the day while in the
Church of the Ascension only the
night service was devoted to the cele-
bration, the morning service being
devoted by Rev. DR.. w. c. Schaeffer
to the anniversary of his eleventh
year in the pastorate of the church.
AS is customary on this occasion
the Sunday school of the Church Oh
the Ascension held it's rally day SerV-
ices in connection with the Luther
celebration. The reports of the Of
ficers of the school were read, must
cal programme given, and an address
on Luther made. This address was
given by Mr.. J. r. Saussy.
The report of Mr.. Chas. E. Stanton,
secretary and treasurer of the Sun
day school, showed that organization to
be in excellent condition, being COM
posed of a membership of $40, ten
officers, twenty-eight teachers and
482 pupils. 1t was shown that there
has been an increase over the previous
year both in membership and in at
tendance and that there is a good cash
balance in the treasury.
At the conclusion of his report Mr..
Stanton, after stating his connection
with the Sunday-school as assistant
librarian and in his present position
for nearly thirty years, asked to be
relieved from further duty, saying that
he desires to vacate the place to some
younger man.
Mr.. Saussy's address was a most in
teresting one, dealing with the life and
work of Martin Luther. The speaker
said that since the time of the Apostle
st. Paul, Luther was the greatest man
that had ever lived. Mr.. Saussy was
introduced by Rev. DR.. Schaeffer
Both services in st. Pauls Church,
which were conducted by Rev. M. J..
Epting, pastor of the church, were
we'll attended, as were those in the
Church of the Ascension.

Suspected Negro Not Believed to
Have Been in HOId-Up.
There were no developments yester-
day in the hold-up of a Montgomery
street trolley car at Forty-first street
Saturday night, an account of which
was given in the Morning News.
James Wilson. the suspect who was
arrested by Mounted Patrolman Best.
is not now believed to have been on
the car. or to know anything about
the hold-up. He will probably be re-
leased to-day.
The conductor and motorman were
unable to identify him and Wilson
strenuously denies that he was in
the neighborhood at the time. He
says that he ran because his three
companions ran when they saw the
patrolman approaching. He told who
his companions were and the police
say that the men who were suspected
are not the ones. The motornfan and
conductor of the car are certain that
the negroes who attacked them were
injured during the fight.
