Speak Once a Day.

The Republican State Committee, in
arranging the canvass of the State to be
made by the Republican candidate for
Governor, Edward G. Stokes, has, in
Difference to Mr.. Stokes's wishes, decided
that for the present +, at least, he shall
speak only in the evenings. 1t is the
intention to have him address at least one
big massmeeting in each county, while
in some of the larger ones, in which
there are two or more large cities or
towns, he will speak more than once.
Later in the campaign it is thought that
the candidate may be able to see his way
clear to speaking more than once
day. At the present time Mr.. Stokes
does not deem it wise for him to take up
on himself the burdens of a 'whirlwind
campaign y and has expressed the pre-
ference for speaking only in the evening.

Tho report of the return to this
country of one George Stephanko,
who escaped sometime ago from a
Hungarian prison, as told in yester
days News, the man being believed
to be the same who murdered Steve
Nagyi In the fall of 1896, and who
committed several other crimes, re-
calls the fight which Ohief of Police
Burke had with George StephaDko
His latest escapade, since returning
from Hungary. was the theft of $500
somewhere in New Jersey.
After the murder in 1895 Stephanko
left this city. He was traced to a
small town in Pennsylvania and
there Chief Burke cornered him in
shantc. The two men had desper-
ate battle Chief Burke was getting a
little the better of the argument when
Joseph E. Stricken, then newspaper
correspondent, who accompanied Chief
Burke on his trip as interpreter,

Stephanko was subdued.
The fellow was sent to the county
Jail at New Brunswick. A few
months wards, in May, 1896. to
be oxact, Stephanko escaped through
the roof of the Jail, along with six OF
seven other notorious prisoners,
among them several men convicted OF
arson, crime prevalent in this vic
unity about that time. Stephanko
continued his career of crime, and
the next heard of him was tina. he had
been sentence to solitary confinement
for life in q prison in the old country.
If the George Stephpnko who hai
escaped from prison there and re-
turned to this country ia found to be
the same man, will confirm the sus

with the facts in connection with
Stephanko's career. It would not con
firm Chief Burke's opinion, however,
as he discredits the man g ability tC

where he would be closely guarded.
Further facts are awaited with inter

NO SENSATION
NEED BE EXPECTED.
Rev. o. B. Chester Said He win
Preach Only Gospel Sermons.

Rev. o. Is. Chester Said He viii
Preach Only Gospel Sermons.
Rev. o. B. Chester, pastor of the
Wesley Monumental Church, preached
last night on the subject Has Savan-
nah Rejected Christ" The subject was
one that led many persons to believe
the sermon would have purely a local
application. This, however was not
the case, and the speaker took pains
to explain in his Introduction that he
never preached sensational sermons.
The text of the address was taken
from Matthew viii, 1874: Enter We in
at the strait gate: for wide is the gate
and broad is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be that
go in thereat; because strait is the
gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that
find it,"
1T is as hard for some men to give
up their pet SINS" Mr.. Chester said,
"as it is for them to have their eye
teeth pulled. There are sins that men
actually love, and l think some of the
great preachers make a mistake when
they say there is no pleasure in sin:
there are sins that sparkle and charm,
and that enthran men so that they
love them.
Men want to go to heaven when
they know they must leave the earth,
but Christ didn't say Blessed are they
that hunger and thirst after heaven;
he said, Blessed are they that hunger
and thirst after righteousness The
problem is not how to make a man a
Christian, but how to make man
want to be a Christian"
