LIFE OF CARTWRIGHT.
Rev. Dr. Mccornick's Address on the
 Methodist Reyivallst.

Rev. Dr. McCormick's Address on the Methodist Revivalist.
 Peter Cartwright, the Pioneer Meth odist Worker in the Middle West" was the subject of a lecture by the Rev. Dr. Charles W. Mccormick in the rooms of the Windsor Avenue Congregations church Thursday evening. An interest ing account of the life of the revivalist was given, his native place being Vdr- ginia, where he was born in lIS5, his father being soldier in the Reyolu- tionary war. His mother was a Chris tian, but his father was not, and at the age of fourteen the boy was given race horse and a pack of cards, becom- ing later an expert gambler, according to his own statement.
 An account of his conversion two years later was given by the speaker. He was licensed to preach at seventeen, began to preach at nineteen and was sent to a rough and wild circuit, where he had to encounter Indians and varl- ous hardships. His service was notable for many things. For fifty years he was a presiding elder. His death oc- cured in 1872, so that his life included within one year the whole of Metho- dist history He received 12,000 people into the church and it is said that 100 ministers were led by him to enter that avocation. He preached as often as ne could, frequently as often as four times day, and delivered 1S,000 sermons. His field was in the middle west, from Wisconsin to the northern half of Ten nessee. When he went there about 2,- 800 Methodists were there. Forty years later there were between lO0,O00 and 120,000. a.:-. -. ....s
 An account of the rough life and methods of Cartwright were here giv- en, the speaker telling how he some times met rowdyism with sheer force and in most cases the disturbers were converted.
 There was in Cartwright, the speaker said, sort of rugged honesty that took with the people. It was in this same age that Lincoln worked The two were rival candidates for congress at one election and Lincoln won.
 Cartwright received $40 a year. That was about all any one got in his posi- ton. After three years of work his horse was worn out, his saddle and his clothes, too and he had to beg his way home for fresh outfit for another start. After twenty eight years of work he asked for rest and the conference voted him a years relief, but he at once took up a new district where no one else could be induced to go.
 Tn closing pr. Mccormick paid a tri- bute to the men who settled the mid- de west, and he said that their memo ries were to be held in reverence. Hartford Post.

the Mission days-the best the poor
Indian ever knew.
Not long ago the few remaining
Indians in the neighborhood had a
two-day "feast or festival" in this
"deserted village" A small party
of white people were invited over
in the evening. Eating, and, son
the sly" drinking seemed to be the
order of the day-rather evening.
Under a brush shelter gambling
game was going on. We watched
it tor sometime. A very interested,
but very quiet, group of men and
boys surrounded the table, betting
their nickles and dimes in a game of
dice-throwing, with all the serious
ness and silence characteristic of the
race. Neither loss nor gain seemed
to stir them enough to cause a
change of countenance. But finally
one joined them who had drank too
much. He soon became little
noisy and imperious, carelessly bet
ting quarters and even a half dollar.
Drink makes an Indian crazy. This
mans countenance was indescribably
pitiful, so sad and discouraged, but
in his eyes glittered the light of
demon. An Indian policeman kept
an eye on him and pretty soon
whispered to the man running the
game, who quietly put things away.
TO all appearances the game was
stopped, butoit was resumed as soon
as the poor, crazed, drunken man
had been quietly taken to another
part of the village and tied up Soon
there was another call for the
policeman, another man had refresh
ed too much son the sly" ard was
wildly threatening to shoot friend
because of supposed injury. He
was bound, hands and feet, and car
ried to brush pile off on the bleak
hillside, securely tied there, and left
alone to come to his right mind at
his leisure. We expected there
would be some Indian dances or
something of a festival order, but
there was such silence and melan-
choly in the air that it was really
oppressive. Poor Indian! There
is even no joy in his feasts!
All the evening child had been
crying in group sitting about
dim light up on the opening among
the sage brush. His head he'd been
hurt in one of the afternoon races.
By-and-by the word was quietly
passed around that the priest had
been sent for. A crowd gathered
about the group. An old man sit
ting on the ground, weaving back
and forth began uttering most heart

rending groans. Some Others were
moaning piteously. The child was
now unconscious, only at intervals
sound of agony escaped it. No
medical help near to ease its dying
throes. The old grandfather and
the parents were heart broken. "A
sadder scene could hardly be CON
ceived.
Thus, unsheltered, in the gloom
and chill of night, on the wild
wastes, helpless, friendless and alone,
in utter despair, is rapidly passing
the Indian race.

WOMEN

Than Men
Much More Apt to Learn, tn 9
Professors Say-AthIstics
Distract Boys.

Chicago. June s.--According TO the
presidents Of colleges devoted to co-edu-
cation women are outstripping men in
scholarship. Here are the expressions
from the presidents on the relative
standing OF men and women students.
Acting President Birge. OF the univer-
sity OF Wisconsin-Those who have paid
special attention TO this question say
that the women students exceed the
men In scholarship by about 10 per cent
on the average
President Northrup of the university
OF Minnesota-There is a general i'm
preston that women attain higher schol-
arship I'm science literature and art, but
IL may often be due to conscientious and
faithful work dather than ability.
President King OF Oberlin--So far as
class records are concerned the expert
ence Of seventy years Of Oberlin seems
TO show that the average grade of women
in scholarship is probably little higher
than the average grade OF men.
President Warren OF Boston university
Young men do not give TO their college
work the close application that young
women give. There are moro things 10
distract them, such as athletics. general
reading. etc. while the girls are applying
themselves closely 10 the requirement OF
exact information.
President Blanchard OF Wheaton Col
lege-In recent years we have come 10
recognize that women are able 70 prose-
cute the most advanced and difficult work
OF a university course and compete on
even terms with men.
At Boston university Is out OF the 10
senior students just elected TO member
ship In the Phi Beta Kappa society. the
sole test being scholarship are women.
a recent report compiled at the Univer-
sity OF Chicago shows that in the first ten
years OF the life OF that great institution
women have captured more prizes and
honrs than men, and have secured
much greater representation In Phi Beta
Kappa than men.
1t Is emphasized that the great devo-
tion TO athletics by men students handi-
caps such students against young women
in studies. 1t Is pointed cut also that
women's greatest aptitude is shown in
the study OF languages and the less exact
sciences. But reports agree striklngly
that so far as the ability TO learn is con-
cerned, women are In no sense iferior to
man, and in some senses are superior.

Prevented It.

down the bay after the race had been
cslled of yesterday. there was much re-
gres that the weather did not clear
earlier in the day for after the feet OF
spectator yachts had left the fog disap-
peared and with a fine breeze from the
southeast there was grand chance for
a race. All this was explained TO the
first OF the enthusiasts when they made
their appearance this morning and II was
hoped that the fog would hft today be-
fore the time came for the yachts 10
leave for the start
With the wind from the southeast It
looked as though the regatta committee
would send the yachts over fifteen
mile wdndward and leeward course from
Sandy Hook lfghtship. giving the boats
a beat right out to sea and a run back
before the wind.
At $50 the wind was blowing about
-four knots and the fog showed no
signs whatever OF lifting. In fact II
was generally believed at that time that
IL had settled down for all day and that
another postponement was Inevitable.
After a long wait the sun began to
burn away the fog and about / o'clock
the yachts started out for the line in tow
At 2:32 p. m. the race was declared of
for today. There will be a race tomor-
row IL conditions permit.
