"THE CHRISTIAN OF TODAY"
Cev. pr. Washington Glaaden's Ser.
 mon at Colum bus, o.


 COLUMBUS. O., April 3.-The Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden., moderator of the general council of Congregation el churches. preaching at the First Congregational church yesterday upon "The Christian of Today" said:
 "The Christian of today is beginning to get a new idea of what it means to carry his religion into his business. He has found out that it signifies an earnest effort to make his business not only means of gain. but an instru- mentality of help and service to all his fellow men.
 Andrew Carnegie said some years ago. for instance. that man may be as selfish as he pleases in the accumu- lation of a fortune if be will only be benevolent in the distribution of ths fortune after it is made
 That is not the best theory of the business mans responsibility. His greatest opportunities of benevolence are those which come to him in his business. It is while he is making his fortune. not after it is made. that he must prove himself a Christian.
 "Gifts. no matter how muniicent, which have been heaped up by extor- tion and trickery are not Christian ! benefactiOns
 Some of the most gigantic robbers , that the world has ever known. men l who have accumulated hundreds of mill lions by wicked methods. are by some persons praised and fattered for their | liberal gifts 10 churches and colleges and missions. Such an estimate does not represent the Christianity of today.
 The Christian of today distinctly sees that the Cbristianizafion of tho great realm of industry and traflic is the most urgent problem now before them It is tremendous undertaking. but not too arducu< for ;ii sn conquer. ing grace of him who has banisAed in- fanticide. abolished slavery and Iifted woman to an equality with man."

COLLEGE SATURDAY GAMES.

New Haven, April 3.--The first victory of the season for the Yale varsity baseball team came Satur- day at the Yale field, when Tufts nine was defeated, 17 to 6. The victory was due to two things. First, Yale spent the past week working with her batting department, and secondly it was the first game of the season for the Tufts team.
 The work of the Yale team, how ever, was much improved over that of one week ago and the stick work was particularly pleasing. The fact that out of the thirteen men who played for Yale. but four failed to find the ball, is a most encouraging sign and gives great promise. The score: RH.E.

ANOTHER PRIVATE FLIGHT.

ANOTHER PRIVATE FIGHT.
 Jack Durane, New York feather weight, battered Eddie Ryan, an as- pirant for pugilistic honors, to a pulp in a resort in Myrtle avenue, Brook lyn, yesterday afternoon.
 After making chopping block of Ryan for thirteen rounds. Durane put him to sleep with swing on the Jaw in the fourteenth round. It wasn't much of punch, but Ryan was so weak from punishment and loss of blood that he went down like log and had to be carried from the ring
 Two hundred spectators witnessed what was admittedly one of the bloodiest private bouts fought in New York in years. Admission was by card only. and the tip had been cir culated so cleverly that Captain Gal lagher and the police of the Forty ninth precinct had no inkling of what assigned an exact time for arrival and, though the New York contingent travelled across the bridge in cabs and autos, they were careful to leave them at point some distance from the rendezvous.
 The men met in d 16-foot ring. A we'll known manager of puglists was the referee and both boys had profes. sional handlers in their corners.
 Ryan showed from the outset that he was a novice at the boxing game. Durane hammered him at will. Blood was flowing from Ryan's nose and lips after the second round. He hung on gamely, even after his eyes were almost closed, and Durane whipped his blows over until Ryan's face and chest were cut to ribbons.
 The spectators lost interest in the struggle, but they were told they could not leave until the bout was finished. The go was scheduled for fifteen rounds, but Durane ended il in the fourteenth, when Ryan went down and out before blow that would hardly put child to sleep. Durane got the big end of the purse, but he didn't gain any glory by his victory, as a lad of any cleverness or punching power would have fin. ished Ryan before the fifth round.
