STEADFAST CHARACTER.
Joseph of Biblical Renown an Ex-
ample to Be Followed.

Rev. Henry Van Dyke, the noted Prince
ton professor, author and poet, in a ser
mon delivered at the Church of the Cove
nant yesterday morning, in which he used
Joseph as his theme, pointed out that the
world of today would be better off If more
men had the steadfast qualities Of charac-
ter displayed by Joseph. These traits are
needed In the lives of men, he said. DR..
Van Dyke spoke to an assemblage that
filled the handsome big church and his
sermon was impressive and intensely in
teresting
To remain true to principles was pointed
out by DR.. Van Dyke as one of the first
traits to insure true character and strong
manhood. Joseph, he said. remained true
throughout his life-from the day he was
sold in Egypt by his envious brethren to
the days when he had risen to prime min
lister. DR.. Van Dyke said that during all
this time Joseph had kept fast in his
heart the simple belief that steadfastness
to good principle is necessary and will be
rewarded.
We will find sooner or later" DR.. Van
Dyke said that life is a drama, the plot
of which has been arranged long before
we came upon this earth. The stage set
tings have been made and the acts de-
fined. But no one of us has been assigned
to any certain part in this drama. 1t is in
this selection Of the part which we are to
play that the character of each individual
comes into play"
DIR. Van Dyke then dwelt upon the
character of Joseph and spoke of how he
managed to remain steadfast throughout
his trials, saying he was not only a man
who adhered to principle, but a mag
unanimous man. a man of "big SOUL" He
did not consider Joseph perfect, saying he
had qualities that do not always go with
a perfect man. He said Joseph was an
idealist. a dreamer, a person possessed of
imagination.
He did not let his mind concern ITSELF"
Dr. Van Dyke said, merely with the cur
rent affairs OF every day and take life as
something thrown at him which had to be
disposed of, but he rose superior to this
feeling through his mind. Other later
day dreamers and idealists- have risen to
prominence also.''
DR.. Van Dyke will occupy the pulpit at
the Church of the Covenant during the re-
mainder of the month.

ADDRESS BEFORE Y. M. c. A.
Visitor Discusses "Commercialism,
Our National Peril"

W. NJ. Chandler, an attorney of New
York city, in an address at the Young
Mems Christian Association yesterday
afternoon on "Commercialism, Our Ma
tional/ Peril" pointed out that the greed
for wealth is now threatening the citizen
ship and the political system of this coun
try, and remarked that the people should
profit by the disclosures and criticisms
that are being made. He traced the his
tory Of the country from the colonial pc
riod through the trying times Of the revo-
tionary war and the early days of the re-
public to the present time. emphasizing
the wisdom and the spirit OF the fore
fathers In founding government OF, for
and by the people.
Mr.. Chandler contrasted the present
with the past and directed attention to
impending dangers threatening progress,
due to efforts to accumulate wealth at the
expense of the finer things of life.
The speaker insisted that we should not
be angered or hurt by honest criticism.
but should profit by it. He declared that
the commercial and financial institutions
of the country must take warning.
The plain American citizen, the true
and honest citizen. who loves Oberty and
is becoming aroused he
added. These traits were assured in he
Constitution of this country. The great
est danger that threatens our political
system today is the corporate or collect
i've as opposed to the natural or individ-

Man Reported Missing.

Inspector Boardman received message
from the Baltimore police today telling
Of the death Of Henry A. w. Hartnagle,
the former liquor dealer at Charlottesville
and Orange, Va, who was reported to
have disappeared from Orange about a

Hartnagle had committed suicide at the
Hotel Rennert. where he registered under

had been found dead there being no men
ton Of his having committed suicide.
Hartnagle is the man who had to aban-
don the liquor business at Charlottesville
when the town went dry worried over
the situation and took to drinking. Then
he went away without telling his friends
or relatives where he was going. When
Mrs. Hartnagle called at police head
quarters Saturday night she was told by

LOST HIS NERVE.
Cclored Man Thought He Was Being
Chased by Two Bulls.

Had President Roosevelt been at the
White House shortly before daybreak
yesterday morning he might have enjoyed
more exciting sport than he will find in
the canebrake down in Louisiana. There
were two bulls in the grounds just south
of the White House. and their presence
there was the cause of considerable ex-
element. A colored man became thor
oughly convinced that the two animals
were pursuing him, and he started on a
dead run in the direction of the house of
detention. He was the only pedestrian
who was passing through the park at that
time, and the police think this fact ac-
counted for his lack of courage.
While the colored man was making his
top speed in his sprint for assistance, it
is declared. the two animals were leaving
the park In another direction. They had
escaped from George Harris, who was
driving them from one of the steamboat
wharves to 18th and B streets. and 1t was
not until about daybreak that they were
located by the police. Policeman Marks
of the second precinct found them sam
ping the shrubbery In Iowa Circle. He
summoned a colored man and drove them
to the police station. The animals were
turned over to their owner this morning.

RETURNS FROM ABROAD.
DR.. Richard D. Harlan Pleased With
Trip to Paris.

DR.. Richard D. Harlan, special repre-
sentative of George Washington Unver-
sity movement, returned to this city yes
terday from q visit to the Paris Ecolt
des Sciences Politques and the Londor
School Of Economics and Finance. where
he went to obtain ideas for the develop
ment of the College of Political Science:
of George Washington University.
DR.. Harlan was very much pleased will
his trip, declaring 1t a success. He ha:
an elaborate and detailed report in course
Of preparation, which he will give tt
President Needham and the official board
of the university. He talked of the uni
vers.ty, the new and comprehensive par
for the greater George Washington, anC
of the College Of Political Sciences.
In this connection, DR.. Harlan said thai
the American consular service fully lived
up to its reputat ton for inefficiency.
Il have interviewed hundreds of bust
ness men, both American and foreign
and talked to diplomats and other officials
on my tour through England and France
have roasted the United States consular
service to a brown crisp.
"One, of the biggest contractors-ar
American-born man, who does work in
every city Of consequence in Europe-de-
clared that for patriotic reasons he would
rather deal with the American consulate
but that this was impossible, as it inva-
riably proved unsatisfactory, and when
he was in need of the services of a con-
sui he was forced to apply to the repre-
sentative of Great Britain.
Il do not mean that there are not eff
cient men in the consular service at all,
for there are. What l do mean is that
they have never. until the passage of the
recent law, had any tenure of office or
felt the necessity of preparation for the
duties Of their office.
Placing of the consular service under
civil service regulations, and making the
appointments permanent, under the regu-
lation Of Secretary Root will undoubtedly
change all this, and in this connection
the new College of Political Sciences of
George Washington will enter the field.
I'VE expect to develop a college for the
special training Of consular and CONNER
cial officers Of a most comprehensive
character Some plan will undoubtedly
be worked out by which the State De
partment will cooperate in a practical
way in preparing men who wish to apply
for appointment
