NATION OF CHAPTERS.
Chicago Minister Sees the Great
 White Light Ahead.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-The Rev John Balcom Shaw in his sermon at the Sec ond Presbyterian church last night, said in part:
 For years the American conscience seemed to be sleeping it's last sleep. Graft had fiourished until we had be- come a nation of grafters. Corpora tions had grown so lawless and merci- less as to cease to be cautious.
 But six months ago with the sud denness of meteor's flash, like bolt out of clear sky, new situation ap peared. First came the cry of tainted money, which was so loud and so wide. spread as to warn corrupt and un- scrupuIoEs men, to arm reformers with weapons they could never before car ", and to push the cause of truth and honesty miles ahead. Following this was the equitable expose which has dealt corporation trickery blow from which 1t will not soon recover.
 "What all this promises for the work of the christian church can scarcely be estimated. We are in the midst of an ethical revival, and if the church will only relate itself rightly to the move ment it may pave the way for the spiritual revival for which it has long been eagerly looking"

ANOTHER
 MYSTERY.
Like Unto the Death
 ofJ. H. Thompson.
Public Accountant Found Dead in His Bed With the Evidences of Murder Prevalent.

New York, Sept. 11-What may de- yelop into another mysterious hotel murder like that of Jacob H. Thomp- son, well known editor, was discoy- cred yesterday in an obscure hostel " at Sixth avenue and Fifty-sixth street.
 Through the odor of escaping gas, a maid in the hotel was drawn to a room occupied for the night previous by Alfred Krattinger, public ac- countant, who lived with his wife, father and brother In West Fifty-sec- ond street. The room was broken open and Krattinger found dead ill the bed. There was no signs of violence and it appeared to be common place sui eide, such as coroners handle a dozen times week. A coronor and detec- tives made systematic examination of the body and the room and began to discover things that set them thinking.
 It was observed that the transom of the room was half open while the room showed none of the usual prep arations for suicide by gas. When the coroner came to examine the body closely he noticed that the face was not blackened or discolored as ire quently happens in asphyxiation cases. Then he saw a large bruise just over the right ear, near the temple. It was such a confusion as might have been caused by hard fall or blow from a heavy stick or blunt weapon. The coroner could not determine from cur sory examination whether the skull was fractured. That will be determin- ed to-day by the coroner's physicians.
 Krattinger's brothers told the coron- CT that there should be found on the body a diamond pin, worth SLIGO, and a considerable amount of cash. The only thing found in the pockets was cheap pocket knife There was no trace of the diamond pin.
 It was subsequently learned by the coroner's jury that the hotel register had been tempered with and the time of Krattinger's arrival changed. The hotel employees professed entire ignor- ance as to who made the change. Krattingers father and brothers de clared after the examination they were positive the accountant had been murdered in his room early yesterday morning for his money and pin, and that the thief and murderer had es- capped by the Sixth avenue window arranging the body neatly and turn ing on the gas to create the impression of suicide.
