Rev. Or. Moron Speaks at VsspGr SenIce
on THE Young Man, Jesus"

The speaker at the vesper service yes
terday was not Rev. f. G. jefferson, as
formerly announced. He was unable TO
preach, so the university secured the SER
vices OF Rev. Philip s. Moxon. d. D., pas
tor or the South Congregational church in
Springfield
Or. Moxon chose as his text Matthew
xvi-l6: And Simon Peter answered and
said. Thou art the Christ the Son Of the
living God" After announcing that his
subject would be the Young Man
Jesus, he spoke in part as follows:
What are the evidences OF Christian
ityf Leaving out the miracles and all
matter which may oe open 10 question by
any one we can see that the evidences will
be along two lives the historic and the
moral
The historic evidence are the specific
records Of primitive Christianity and
church history. including both Christian
and Pagan. The moral evidences are the
personality and character of Christ, the
moral character OF the early exponents Of
Christianity. the principles OF life which
Christ taught, and the great moral change
Christianity has produced In the world
The evidences from these two sources
are coordinate A man cannot carefully
study along these two lines without be-
coming convinced OF the soIdity OF Chrls-
uanity. God is not a mere memory, but
a present fact.
Now, what is this Christianity? The
teachings and life OF Christ furnish us
with the best answer 20 this question. All
the rites. rituals and creeds in the world
Will not show us Christianity. They
change, but the teachings and personality
OF Jesus remain firm.
What are some OF the chief points in
the life and character of Jesus In the
first place Jesus was OF humble parentage,
a Jew OF Palestine. the reputed son OF
carpenter, himself an artisan UP to the
time he was 30 years old. He has made
all OF these obscure plans and the hum
BILE people, with whom he associated.
famous. He also had rot the culture OF
the rabidical school So far we know
he never used a pen. His public life
was only about three years and he did not
form during that period any church or or
ganization. He opposed the old Jewish
idea OF the Messiah and he in. turn was
opposed by all the priests and scribes of
the day He brought down the wrath OF
these people upon him, was condemned
and crucified between two thieves. Such
arc some OF the facts OF his life. But dur
ing those three brief years he started in
motion forces, principles, and ideals which
have revolutionized the world.
"IIe taught doctrine OF life which is
on a higher plane than that OF any other
teacher He gave us a revelation Of God
and his attributes which has become the
worm of all our thoughts in regard TO the
divine being And above all he en-
bodied the truth that he spoke Thus he
gave an example and created an ideal

THOUSANDS LAID OFF.
Big Shops at Pullman, ILL.,, Are Shut
Down, and 1000 Men
Are Idle.

Chicago, Sept. Is The immense Pull
man car works at Pullman are shut

company 1000 employees idle. With no
idea of when work will be resumed aud
with cold weather at hand the idle work.
men are alarmed. They fear a reduc-
ton in force and cut in wages are be-
hind the closing of the plant. They were
told to take their tools with them when
they left the works, and from this infer
that a considerable period of idleness
confronts them. The closing of the big
car works at the "model city" came
when the 500 workers in the repair de-
partment were laid off. That had been
the only branch of the plant in operation
for some time, and it's closing left not
more than 100 men at work, just enough
to put the finishing touches on what lit
tie work remained on hand and to keep
the many buildings in condition. A
number of employees. believing that the
shutdown of the plant will be of long
doration, announced their intention Of
leaving Pullman and seeking work else
where.
The officers and most of the directors
of the Pullman company are out of town
at present. and little could be learned re-
garding the intention of the company.
The shutdown of the works has been
gradual during the last three weeks,
two or three departments being closed at
a time.

TRAIN HELD UP.
Five Bandits Blow Open Express Car
Safe in Iowa-Said to Have Sc
cured Large Sum.

Muscatine, Ia, Sept. 14.-Hundreds
of men, with bloodhounds, are engaged
in a search for the five daring bandits
who held up Rock Island train near
Fruitland station, six miles from here,
at 1915 o'clock Tuesday morning and
looted the express car. One of the rob-
oers is reported to have been seen on
the bottoms across the river, and the
Illinois authorities have been asked to
look out for him. The highwaymen are
known to have fled toward the marshy
land along me river, where natural
conditions would aid them in eluding
capture. The train robbed was tie
through west-bound passenger, which
left Chicago at Cos p. m. Monday. 1t
was held up in cut known as Whisky
Hollow, where two years ago the Chi
cago car barn bandits committed sim
liar crime. The robbers covered the
crew with revolvers, had the engine
and express car taken several miles
along the track, blew open the safe,
rifled it and fled. The passengers were
not molested. The railroad and ex-
press officials say nothing of value was
secured. Others estimated the amount
taken at from $1,000 to $4,000.

FLAMES ATTACK BRIDGE.
Structure Over Lake st. Croix Partly
Burned-Span Falls, Killing Two
and Injuring Five.

Saltwater, Mimi, Sept 16-The
bridge across Lake st. CroiX, which is
half mile long, extending to the Wis
consin side, caught fire late Thursday
afternoon. The fire created some COM
motion and the fire apparatus, in re-
spending to the alarm, was followed
by the usual crowd of persons The
fire had so weakened one of the spans
of the rather ancient structure that
when the fire apparatus and the crowd
attempted to cross it, it fell into the
water, about 20 feet below. About 20
persons were precipitated with the
wreckage into the water and two were
killed and five seriously injured. The
dead are: Adolph Boo, aged %, son of
the local hotel keeper, and George Nc
Grath, aged 16, son of Andrew Nc

ORDERED 70 DISMANTLE.
Russian Cruiser Which Entered Port
of San Francisco Can't Leave
Till War Ends.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Acting Secre-
tary of State Adee on Thursday gave
out the following statement regarding
the Russian ship Lena, now at San
Francisco:
'The president has issued an or
der, through the acting secretary of
state, directing that the Russian armed
transport Lena, now at San Francisco,
be taken in custody by the naval au-
thorities of the United States and dis
armed. The main features of the con-
ditions prescribed are that the Lena be
taken to the Mare island navy yard and
there disarmed by removal of small
guns. breech blocks of large guns, small
arms, ammunition and ordnance stores
and such other dismantlement as may
be prescribed by the commandant of
the navy yard; that the captain give a
written guarantee that the Lena shall
not leave San Francisco until peace
shall have been concluded"
This action has been taken upon the
written request of the commander of
the Lena, addressed to Rear Admiral
Goodrich, setting forth that as the YES
sci is incapable of putting to sea with
out needful repairs, she must disarm,
and asking that needful repairs be per-
mitted after disarmament.
The disposition of the crew will be
arranged for later, although most of
the members of it express the belief
that they will be allowed to return
home under parole.
San Francisco, Sept. 1.-THE Rus
sian auxiliary cruiser Lena is now at
the government naval station at Mare
island, having departed from San
Francisco bay Friday afternoon under
the escort Of the cruiser Marblehead
The Lena is now under the local juris-
diction of Rear Admiral McCalla OF

her safe keeping having been trans
ferred from Rear Admiral Goodrich
The entire crew of the Lena is aboard
of the Russian vessel and will doubt
less be detaind at Mare island pending
an official decision as to their DISPOSE
ton. The work of dismantling the
Lena will be commenced at an early
date, and workmen have been engaged
to place her in a seaworthy condition.
The departure of the Lena was attend
ed with little or no ceremony.

THE MAINE ELECTION.
Complete Returns Show Republican
Plurality of 27,13o for
Governor.

Portland, Me-, Sept ia republican
plurality of 27,130 is shown by complete
returns from the state election of Mon
day, the unofficial tabulation of which
from the 522 cities, towns and planta-
tions was completed Wednesday. The
total vote for governor, as tabulated,
was: Cobb (rep.), 1890: Davis (dem) J.,
$3.50. While these figures show re-
publican gain of 1890 votes over 1900,
they also indicate democratic gain of
II, 244, or a net gain for their party of
S,254. Congressional returns, though
still not complete, indicate a gain for
both parties practically the same as that
in the vote for governor. All four re-
publican congressman are returned by
pluralities ranging from 5000 to 1000.
The legislature, which will elect a
United States senator, is safely republi-
can.
