MARVELLOUS MEETING.
10000 Fight In Vain To Hear o
Chicago Evangelist.

Ten thousand weary and disappointed
people we're turned away from the
doors of the auditorium yesterday, un-
able to gain entrance to one of the most
remarkable religious meetings held in
Chicago since the days of Moody and
Sankey. Frantic efforts to get inside
the structure were made by the late
corners, some of them succeeding in
breaking down the stage door, only to
be driven back by Milward Adams,
manager of the house.
The fame of Gypsy" Smith, the
noted evangelist, and the religious in
terest which is sweeping the city as
the results Of the spectacular religious
campaign of the Rev. X. A. Torrey,
drew a crowd at the doors Of the thea
ter that has never been equaled in its
history.
The service was scheduled to begin
at 3 o'clock. Hours before that time
hundreds of men, women and children
were standing patiently before the
doors. AS the hour drew near for SER
vice the hundreds increased to thous-
ands, massed against the doors, and
extending across Congress street to
the opposite side, and TO either end Of
( the block.
The doors we're thrown open at 2:3O.
II took exactly seven minutes to fiji the
building and at 2:37 the doors were
closed again with 1000 seated inside
the great theater and a larger crowd
outside than had been able TO gain en-
trance.
Meanwhile each street car and eleva-
ted train was bringing more people.
The crowd stayed for a while IN the
hope that Gypsy" Smith would decide
to hold short meeting. dismiss the
audience, let in the overflow and hold q
second service. 1t was not till the ser
vice was nearly half over that crowt
outside finally dispersed.
Gypsy" Smith had not spoken long
when all over the house men an'
women could be seen in tears, an
when with a dramatic appeal he beg
o ged those who wished TO find Christ ;

and women responded. II was an old

WHEN THE WISE MAN FELL

He never bucl1ed the tiger and he never
bet a cent
That he could find the cup which held
pea,
He never at a circus tried to crawl be-
meath the tent,
Nor tried TO pet a fretful humble bee
He never bought a gold brick and he
never rocked a boat,
He never teased bulldog in his life;
He never rushed in madly to lay hold
upon the throat
OF a bully who was. pummeling his
wife.
He never pulled the trigger OF an an
Client, rusty gun,
Just to see If IL contained a load or
not;
He never. when the gas leaked, started
in upon the run
With a lighted lamp to find the leaky
spot
He never signed q paper till he'd read
Il through and through,
He never skated where the ice was
tkn;
But they coaxed him into Wall Street
when the sky was soft and blue.
And they casually stripped him to the
skin.

The Lusitania is in port and

The South and Its Say.

To those well-meaning but upper
ceiving papers which call so per-
sistentiy for the nomination of
'some good Southern man" on the
Democratic ticket, the following
from the Charleston Is. c. News
and Courier" is earnestly commend
ed:
The South has itself to blame for the
sitautiOn described by our Virginia con-
temporary. and speaking with perfect
franknesS the Southern Democracy is
certainly not now in a position to lead
the party. It has Deen a very active
factor in determining the principles and
policies of the party IN the last twelve
years, at least, and there has not been
hCresy or Tad during this period to
which II has not given its allegiance.
That is what it has been doing
all these years, and with what result
the country Is we'll informed. The
South must bear its full share Of blame
for the failure of the party to score
in national politics. Certainly the South
can not hope 10 make much Of an i'm
preston upon the sober sense of the
country by ClingtnS to the false gods
which IL has followed in the past.

MUCH COAL WANTED

Estimates that have just been com

that approximately 100000 worth Of
coal viii be required for use Ct the
Atlantic fleet in transit from Hampton
Roads 10 San Francisco next winter.
In order to anticipate attempts Of the
alleged coal combine-against which It
is understood the Government is about

Department has decided 10 solicit pro-
posals for the contract in the markets
OF the world. Better quality and lower
prices Will thus be obtained, IL IS held
The possibility that the coal contract
may go abroad is expected to arouse a
protest from the coal interests Of this
country, but the Navy Department has
decided 10 take a firm stand IN the
ma tier.

reeu Of Equipment. and today pro-
posaIs for supplying this enormous

SWEET PEAS UNDOING
OF YOUNG AUTO THIEF

DIES MONIES. Iowa. Sept. 13.-Taking
the chances OF a long term in prison in
preference to discovery by his sweet
heart that he was not really a young
millionaire, Robert Stevens, nineteen
years cid. has been stealing automobiles
nightly TO take the young woman for
fast drives into the country. Stevens
was arrested just as he was starting out
with a machine owned by Fl. NJ. TrIsler.
Stevens was in the habit Of taking the
first automobile he could had without
an owner, then taking the forty OF fifty
mile ride with the girl After his even
ing drive Stevens would abandon the
machine.
The thefts continued with regularity,
and apparently the police we're helpless
until they discovered a bunch Of sweet
peas in the empty machine. In the
bunch was one Of a peculiar shade,
which it was found was grown only in
one garden in the city. Stevens was

The Farce Will Go On.

Already the prospective retire
ment from Washington of the pres
ent Turkish minister is noted as
''the ending of a farce" Not the
farce-oEiy one scene. The great
comedy of a powerful nation con-
tent to be the butt of Turkeys
horse-play viii long continue on
the international stage.
Chehb Bey was appointed Turk
fish minister to Washington in Octo-
Der. 1900. The following June he
arrived here with credentials duly
made out to William Mckinley, as
President Of the United States. But
the latter was then out Of the city,
and before opportunity offered to
exchange the diplomatic Stub"
which giyevs a minister official
standing, the tragedy at Buff
falo had occurred. Since which time
Chekib Bey has waited in vain for
the corrected credentials, which
should name Theodore Roosevelt
instead of William Mckinley. The
story now is that the edited certifi-
cate has arrived. together with the
letter of recall of Chekib Bey's
predecessor in office, and tele-
graphic news that at last Turkey
has responded to advances from
this nation, and tardlly raised its
Washington station to an embassy,
with some one other than the pres
ent minister the first to hold the
title.
What is ended thereby is only an
anomaly diplomatic. The major
farce will still go on. The United
States will continue TO present
claims against the SuItan's govern
ment, attested by the American
seal. The Sublime Porte" viii con-
tinue to receive them graciously,
make polite answer, and treat the
United States-as to results-less
attentively than this nation treats
Samoa. Even our polite attentions
are disregarded at the viii of an
autocrat responsive to no standard
of national honor or personal cour-
tesy. We extend to him and his
tissue of bureaus a diplomatic rec
ignition not less than that we have
extended to Great Britain. The
Sultan, for his part, totally ignores
us for eighteen months.
Turkeys present immunity arises
from two sources-our Yankee slow
ness to anger, and the Sultan's
utter responsibility. Some day we
shall overcome the first and forget
the second, when the curtain win
ring down on this farce, TO the
great blessing of all humanity and
the particular relief Of a scared and
supine Europe.

Recruits for Secret

Something entirely new came under
the observation of Chief Wilkie. Of the

going by the name OF Captain Mar

chltect Of prominence, was recently ar
rested by Agent Flynn while recruiting

Some time ago the captain adver-
tised for attractive young women, ply

About 100 comely young women replied
in person. They were told to call az 8

Upon their arrival they were slightly
shocked 20 learn that Captain Mar
shall would have to take their meas
service. A number declined their pros
pective positions hurTiedly. but some
fifty remained. They were taken into
another room and ordered 70 diSrOOe.
Captain Marshall" did the measuring.
The bogus Secret Service man was

women. The letter asking permission
10 call was intercepted by Agent Flynn,
who went 10 the young woman and
gave her a series OF questions which
she was 10 PROFOUND When the cap

captain, the young lady tried the last

that much more could nave been ac-
