For months the little town Of

were indignant and the pot began

Then they applied to Judge Dick

HOME MISSION SOCIETY
a Clever Story 10 illustrate The Duty
Of Giving.

The second Vice-President of
each Home Mission Society is
chairman of the Department of
Titheing. Her duty is to try to
induce all Christians to give syste-
maticaly viz: one tenth Of their
increase as God has commanded.
Could the conscience of the people
be aroused on this subject the
Lord work would receive a great
impetus, and would not be ham
pered as it now is by lack of money.
The following article illustrates the
proportion most of us give to the
Lord as compared with other
things:
Yesterday he wore a rose on
the lapel of his coat, and when the
plate was passed he gave a nickle
to the Lord. He had several bills

little nickel, he laid it in the plate
to aid the church militant. in its

Clowdus appeared before Judge
Dickerson yesterday to answer 70
the charge Of contempt of court

was no doubt IN the courts mind
that Clowdus had understood the

them. His fine was fixed al $50

LONDON, Feb. 11.-Succeeding the
American commercial invasion of Eng

art invasion, comes an American reli-
gious. invasion on big scale, and with
a more daring object in view than any
thing of the sort ever attempted before
nothing less than the conversion of
the rich and fashionable London smart
set from the error of it's frivolous and
often scandalous ways.
The campaign already has caused
great excitement in Mayfair. The sig
nificance of the undertaking is most
strikingly shown by the number and
distinction of the recruits already OBJ
tanned from the aristocracy itself, and
it begins to look as if the great out
break of religious fervor already begun
in England and Wales might bring
about results that will make history.

are beyond redemption. Piccadilly and
Park Lane are as accessible to the
voices of religion as Whitechapel and

Thus spoke Charles Alexander, the
singing American evangelist, who, with
his preaching coadjutor from the Unit
ed States, DIR. Reuben Archer Torrey,
has come TO London to start this extra
ordinary campaign. For two years
they have been touring the English
provinces, filling the biggest halls they
could find, with the result that at their
meetings $4,000 people have publicly
professed a change of heart.

is not that in which the great satirist

o'clock this morning and before the

about two hours later, a loss of $685.
900 had been entailed. On account of
the great quantity of water that was
poured into the hold the vessel is now
badly listed and the steamer would
turn completely over but for hawsers
attached to the Broadway wharf.
The blaze started among 500 wooden
cross arms for telegraph poles and a
alarm was given by a night watchman
and the fireboats Governor Markham
and three fire engines responded.
The State of California was sched-
uled to sail tomorrow for Southern
California ports, and had taken on
about 100 tons of freight. Most of the
freight and the coal in the steamer
were on the port side, causing the
steamer to gradually list as the water
was poured on the fire. AS soon as
the flames were extinguished the ves-
sells pumps were placed in operation to
clear the hold.
In addition to the damage to the
freight a number of the iron plates of
the steamer were so badly warped
that they will have to be replaced.
1t was not until 3 o'clock this morn
ing that 1t was discovered that five
sailors were asleep in the stern hold.
1t was believed that all of the mem
bers Of the crew had been awakened.
The damaged steamer is owned by
the Pacific Coast Steamship company
and was built in Philadelphia in 1873
The vessel is 3O6 fet in length and is
of 1866 tons register.

LONDON, June 7.-Under improved
weather conditions King Alfonso of
Spain paid an official visit to the city
today, and was entertained at lunch
con at the Guild hall by the lord mayor
and corporation Of London. The pro-
cessions, both going to and coming
from the city, were of the most i'm
posing character and afforded the peo-
pie an opportunity Of giving a hearty
welcome to the young monarch.
Later in the afternoon King Alfonso
and King Edward went on a motor car
to Ranelagh, where a polo match had
been arranged.
Lord Lansdowne, secretary of state
for foreign affairs, tonight entertained
some sixty gentlemen in honor of King
Alfonso. The party included the Arch

the American ambassador, and num-
ber of other ambassadors and ministers,
Premier Balfour, several members of
the cabinet and Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman,
After the dinner the Spanish ruler wss

day occurred in Bond street early this
morning. The Spanish king and three
other persons were the occupants of a
motor car and had passed through the
shopping district without attracting un-
usual attention when the car was dis
covered to be on fire. The king alighted
and returned to buckingham palace in
another motor car provided by de-
tectives from Scotland Yard, who were
in attendance.
