gunboat Bennington. was operated on
yesterday morning at the Lane Hospital
for appendicitis. stood the operation
remarkably well. and in spite of the
fact that he suffered considerable pain
during the day was in a most favorable
condition last night. Lieutenant Blue
arrived in San Diego from Honolulu on
the Bennington July 10 last, and was
taken ashore at once suffering from an
attack of appendicitis. He was taken
Ill onfy four days out from Honolulu
and has since that time been in seri.
Gus state. He was removed from the
Bennington only few hours before the
terrible explosion on that vessel and
was in the Marine Hospital in San Di-
ego at the time it occurred. He was
taken to the hospital at Mare Island
and came to San Francisco on Saturday
last. f
Lieutenant Blue won much fame for
himself during the Spanish-American
war by one of the most daring ex-
ploits of the Cuban campaign. He was
the executive officer of the Suwanee
off the coast of Cuba, June, 1898, he
landed on the island, made a detour of
seventy miles around the bay of Santi-
ago, entered the enemy's lines and OBJ
tanned, by climbing to a hilltop over
looking the bay, the first positive in
formation that Cervera's fleet was in
there, and the first accurate knowledge
as to the number and character of the
ships of the Spanish. For this he was
highly complimented by the command
ing officers. He performed other daring
deeds during the war and has since
held many prominent appointments in
the navy.

COMDR. LUClEN YOUNG'S
DEFENSE FORESHADOWED

When the board of officers detailed
to try Commander Young on this in.
dictment gathered today in the Ad-
ministration building on Mare Island
there was none among them, fine, bluff,
hearty and courageous though they
were, who could lay claim to better
record as an officer and gentleman than
the brother-in-arms called before their
tribunal for judgment. None of them
was there of his own choice. They
were there because they are the kind
of men who do their duty as they find
it. And their duty in this instance
happened to be an examination into
the probable responsibility for the
Bennington disaster.
SIX SPECIFICATIONS.
The specifications Of the charge made
by the Secretary of the Navy against
Commander Young are six in number.
The first says that he failed to enforce
paragraph of article 1000 Of the

NOn-Attendance at Church.

There Is general compliant among
the pastors OF small atten dance upon
the different services Of the churches
Preaching, Sunday schools and PRAYER
meetings. Even when there is ONLY
one church open in town for preaching
OH Sunday, it is claimed that the at
tendance is small. One pastor remark
ed recently that all the churches put
together. are not reaching one third of
the people in town. This is putting it
strongly, but is certainly true when
the prayer meeting attendance is con-
sidered, The Wednesday night ser
vices are poorly attended. beyond all
question.
When asked, why don't you go to
church, the answer will be, if honest. .
in majority of cases, "because 1 don't
want to-" Why they "don't wan: to-
Is another question to which there are
various answers. A most universal
reason for not going to church is the
one very frequently given, "I was sick 4"

Is well and on the street Monday

truth, and is representative of the mai

the religious candition of Tazewell, for
a long time with seemingly very un-
satisfactory results. That Tazewell
people are more callous and Indifferent
than other peoples is not easy to Prove

This gentleman seems to think that
that the destruction of the church

been, they say, that there was a l;ttIe
too much freedom and liberty given
to any and every body who came
along, to occupy the pulpit, preach
what they pleased, take collections,
stir up strife, etc, etc.
However this may be, the people
are assured that the new. church to
be built will not be an Union

that tramp preachers OF whatever
theological tinge will be censored"
