| IdE REV DIX JOHNSTONS
| LECTURES
| The last of the series of lectures nv
| the Rev. DR.. Howard Johnston at the
Forman College Hall was delivered on
Saturday evening, again TO a numerous
audience. Colonel W. III. Campbell nre-
sided and said few words in recog-
milton of the great value of the pre-
vious addresses.
DR.. Johnston, whose subject on this
occasion was THE Making of Man
hood" based his discourse on the Apos-
| tie PauPs allusion Gin one of the
| epistles to the Christians at Corinth)
| to the transformation of man into the
| image of Christ. The lecturer spoke of
| the relative value of material, mental
| and moral attainments as compared
with those of the soul and declared
| that If man fell short of his chief end
spiritual manhood-he was as much
failure as a knife that would not cut
or an umbrella that would not keep off
rain or sun. From the Christian stand
point it was effected by the reflection
of Christ and by contempla tion-liter-
ally the building of temples. 1t reauir-
ed time. In astronomical photography
it was like a distant star which needed
comparatively close moon which could
be taken in a few seconds. BY another
metaphor, it was an oak, not a mush-
room. The Divine factor was essen
tial. Man could no more rise to it of
himself than the mineral could rise to
the vegetable or the vegetable to the
animal; but could be divinely drawn to
it as the vegetable was drawn and
transformed into the blood, bone and
muscle of the animal. This was strict
ly scientific. So far from Christians
being unscientific, he should like to
speak for an hour on the contributions
of missionaries alone to science. It
was to missionary, to John Gulick, |
(now living in Honolu1u), that the
brilliant George Romanes went to en-
quire how he was able to believe the |
Christian revelation, and he went to !
him because he trusted his great scien-
tific intellect and his indubitable hon |
esty and sincerity. Gulick at once
pointed out Romanes's defect, which |
was that in the matter of evidences he |
relied on his intellect alone. A mothers
love could not be proved by logic. The
affections, the conscience, the will must |
also be accepted as organs of evidence.
From that day Romanes was believ-
er. DIR. Johnston closed with a mag
nificent period on the possibilities of
manhood in Christ. The hours Grafton
held the audience in breathless atten-
ton, which only broke in applause at |
the end.
Colonel Campbell thanked the lectur-
er for the help he had given them in
their highest and truest interests.
Yesterday Sunday DR.. Johnston,
Mems Christian Association, gave an II
inspiring address-on the service of II
the Y. M. C. A. Institutes,
In thanking him for it
the President, the Honorable Mr.. jus
tice Robertson, paid a tribute to the
splendid work of Americans in the mis-
sion field in India.
In the evening DR.. Johnston preached
a quiet sermon in ST. Andrews Kirk on
the five visions of st. Paul. The con-
gregation was large.

General. Frederick Funston is not
ambitious of being immortalized by

THREE GREAT TWIRLERS.
Bloomington Claims Honor of Pro-
ducInE Them.

Bloomington, H., Aug g.-This city
has the distinction of producing three of
the greatest pitchers in the history Of
baseball, Charles Radbourne, Clark
Griffith. and Jack Powell No trio can
be claimed by any other place which can
approach them in brilliancy Radbourne
has been dead for a decade, but the
others are still prominent in the games
and at the height Of their fame,
Griffith was a pupil of RadbOurne. but
Powell was self-instructed. and owes his
success to his own skill ard resources.
Powell first attracted attention at Fort
Wayne, then went to Cleveland, and then
to St Louis. He learned the trade Of
boilermaker before adopting the national
game as a profession
Griffith also had a meteoric advance,
graduating from the minors to the Amer
lean Association, and then 10 the majors.
Bloomington is proud of both stars. but
retains a tender memory for old Hoss'
Radbourne. His passing terminated a
remarkable career.
Rad" was indiSputably the greatest
baseball pitcher the world has known.
No man contributed more to the develop
ment of the game or brought it more
prominently before the public than he
Radbourne pitched for several years with
Boston after he left Providence. and his
last grear year was in 1880. when he
pitched for she Boston Brotherhood team.
He went to Cincinnati In 1891, but did not
complete his season. He asked for his
release and came home, living In retire
ment here until his death. in the fall of
1886.
His last year showed great deteriora-
ton. and he knew that fifteen years on
the diamond was about the limit Too
proud to go 10 a minor league he decided
to retire from the major He had saved
a comfortable fortune from his salary,
and was independent. Although he has
been dead ten years. his memory IS yet
green among followers Of the national
game,

GIANTS VS.. HIGHLANDERS.
New York Fans Want Series Be-
tween the Rival Teams.

sid Mercer. IN the New York Mail
There is an increasing desire among
New York fans to see the Giants and
Yankees come together in a fan series.
New Workers certainly deserve this treat
for the splendid manner in which they
have lent their patronage 10 both local
clubs. even after both teams were plainly
outclassed
The players Of both teams are willing.
and the series would be q big money
maker for all concerned. 1t would settle
lot of disputes, too. In Boston, the
rival teams have agreed to play, and a
series will be pulled of in ST Louis.
Philadelphia has a spring series between
the Athletics and the Phllies. and the
Cubs and Sox played each other in Chi
cagO before they were champions In their
respective leagues.
None Of the teams that have been
beaten in these games ever lost prestige
on account Of such defeats. The national
commission regulates all such games and
prevents faTces. Players are subject 10
certain eligibility rules. league umpires
rule, and everything is conducted in a
businesslike manner
New York wants the fail series between
the Yankees and Giants because II will
settle an old argument, because they de-
serve some good baseball after a summer
of disappointing exhibitions. and because
1t will profit the players who undoubtedly
have tried to bring pennants here. II is up
to Mr. Farrell and Mr. Brush.

Jersey City Player Uses Bat on Ar
bitter Sullivan.

Rochester. Aug. 21.-An exciting battle

Pitcher Foxen, Of the Jersey City club,
and Umpire Sullivan marked the close Of
an Eastern League game here.
In the second inning Sullivan sent
Pitcher Foxen from the grounds for OBJ
jecting to the decisions on balls and
strikes. Foxen remained outside of the

Then he hurried TO the visitors bench
and picked up a club He followed Sui
livan into his coop and locked both doors.
Sullivan and he wrestled for ten minutes
before the police were able to break down
the doors and get inside. When they did
they found Foxen getting punished by
Sullivan.
The police escorted Foxen from the
grounds. but released him when Sullivan
announced that he would not prefer any
charges against the player Sullivan said
he was hit twice on the arm by the club
before he was able to conquer the en-

busting off his trousers to look toward

aisle and out of the stand.
St Louis won that afternoon, but the
fact brought little joy to the King" he
hurried home and asked his wife:

i would like immensely TO manage
either Indianapolis or Minneapolis. They
are both good clubs, and I believe both
will be in the race from the start next

bad Any team that can keep as close to
the 500 mark as the Browns is pretty
good
Anyhow, I Ike the towns and would
