The situation at Port Arthur is the
more interesting to the world because
1t is clouded by mystery. The gar
rison is cut on from communication
with Russian headquarters. and nc
news can come from that side
The rumors Of the Japanese army

even IL based on facts, of little sig.
nificsnce. A general in command OF
an army $4,000 or 100000 strong must
look first to the feeding and lodging
or his men. He will not put great
camp under the fire OF an enemy, but
while keeping a strong force in the
trenches or on the firing line, will
hold his main army some miles to the
rear. where the men may be easily
supplied with water and food, and
where they may be properly quar-
tered.
On the Russian side Notifications

well as forts for the men to be kept
under fire, but changes will be in the
nature of one brigade relieving an.

merely men who must be fed and

Never in the history of this state have
there been better, nobler, and purer
men nominated to fill the various

a flag of truce because soma few re-
publican leaders guard the doors
against our protest.

In the presence of the largest and most

fl st honors on the Mount Pleasant grounds
this morning in one OF the best all-round

in the eighth inning. by the score Of 6 to =
Until the fifth inning neither team was
able to cross the plate. Cunningham and
Hutchinson Were the opposing slab artists
and they managed to keep the few hits well
scattered. in which they were both assisted
by excellent fielding. as on several occa-

batsman OF a seemingly clean drive

that he was made of the right material.
The Gunton team had ten men left on

at effective stages. and to this act only
can they attribute their loss of the game.

FAREWELL DISCOURSE.
Rev. Arthur Thompson Bids Good Bye
to Congregation.

Rev. Arthur II. Thompson preached his
farewell sermon last evening at the Wilson
Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, on
11th street near q southeast. In a few
days he will leave this city to spend a little
time at Atlantic City, whence he will go
about the 18th of July to assume charge of
the NJ. E. Church at Frostburg, Md Both
pastor and congregation felt keenly the ap-
preaching departure of the former and their
farewells were tender. The fact of the pas
tors i'll health added pathos to the parting.
Mr.. Thompson said in part: Il once ask
ed elder if a minister who spent years in
building up church would be likely to re-
main to bear the fruits. He replied that he
believed he would not be permitted. So
after four years spent in building up this
congregation we find that We must part.
Some time ago l would not have had the
heart to leave you. Now / fear that "A
crash might come, and those of you who
have suffered from weakened nerves know
of what l speak. l have known what il is
to be on the verge of insanity. Sleepless
nights have been mine. L have tried to
find sleep after swimming, rowing, walking
but in vain. / thank God that l am going
away without any faction among us. The
time has been when if l had left there
might have been unpleasant things said. |
don't believe there is anybody who hates
me. If there Is please let me know that l
may right 1t. / thank God there is no one
meet and frankly and lovingly look straight
in the face.
God bless everybody We go up into
the mountains yonder. This Is not to be a
separation. There is no separation IN
Jesus Christ We shall simply fight His
battles in different fields.

ing Let him find out things for himself.
II there are those whom you think are not
doing as they should he will find out that
they are falling from grace; maybe you are
mistaken.
The outlook for the church Is good l
would advise you to look after the young
people. There are some churches in this
city that would not like to be the pastor
OF. AS you look over the congregation
there is nothing but gray hairs. The young
may die but the old must. Youth Is not
only the hope of the future. it is the future.
God pity the church that has no youth in
it. This church Is located In a community
swarming with children All you have TO
do Is to bring them in from the streets. l
would advise you to look after the athletic
demands of the youth. 1t 10 important and
