HEAVEN OR HELLa
EVANGELIST MARTIN HOLDS sER-
 VICE IN Y. M. c. A.
Preacher Talks to Men in New Build ing on the Subject of the Hereafter--<OO in Att
 tendance.

Evangelist T. T. Martin appealed to zoo men assembled in the lecture room of the new Y. Nj. c. A building yes- terday afternoon for belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and the only channel through which salvation of the soul could be secured. The evan. gelist took for his general subject. or Hell--Which."
 The mems meeting was the first held in the new edifce. and the large att tendance was gratifying. The services were Intersperssd with the singing of hymns and prayer, and collection was taken up in the interest of the Asso- citation.
 In his opening remarks Mir. Martin discussed skepticism in various phases, and in proof of eternity and saliva tion he read the third chapter of Isaiah. He then spoke of Heaven and hell. It was his belief that hell is to be different for everyone, according to what he deserves.
 q had rather be In hen a thousand times said the evangelist. than to be in Heaven with a God who has hell as has been pictured to me.
 In the discussion of his principle sub- ject, Mir Martin undertook to prove that Christ was not simply good man but that he came into this world to save his people. He was not an flle- gitimate son of Jewish adulteress, but was conceived and was born into the world without a human father. Scripture after scripture from the Old Testament he quoted in illustration of the prophecy of Christ's coming in just the way that he appeared on earth. He closed with a beautiful mental pic ture, by which he urged all men to be- iieve in Christ as the only medium of salvation. His text throughout was drawn from Matthew, xvii. 22.
 MT. Martin is conducting a series of revival services at the South Side Baptist Church.

Maude EeaIys

Maude Fealy, who was born in Mem nbis Tenn. the talented and youngest dramatic star on the American staSe' is to be seen at the Montgomery Ihe- atre tonight when she will appear in the principal role of Martha Morton latest comedy. "The Illusion Of Beat rice" which has won complete trl- umph wherever seen. AS Denttlns tne former leading woman of the late SIT Henry Irving. which position she occu- pied while still in her teens, Miss Fea- ly has been equapped by her manager John Cort, in manner worthy or the talents of the young star, both as to the strength of her supporting com pany and the completeness of her pro duction. "The Illusion of Beatrice gives to Maude Fealy every chance to display her remarkable personality and magnetic and winsome talents. In the role of the founding, brought up under the impression that she is a princess of the royal blood, Miss Fealy plays the entire gamut of the human emotions. Anon. her audiences are laughing at the pretensions of Beatrice and then silently weeping at the woes and heart aches of the heroine. In "The Illusion of Beatrice Miss Fealy has undoubtedly the greatest role she has ever created and has been accord ed unstinted praise, both from critics and the public wherever she has ap- peared in the play. The indications are that the appearance of Maud Fealy here in "The Illusion of Beatrice will appeal to society and lovers of the ar tistfc and a large and fashionable au- dience is looked for to greet the tal- ented young star.

fcucrul monuments inc sOutHs
Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,--Will you kindly ascertain for
the benefit of your readers and let us
know through your valued paper why
1t is that the State Of Virginia is made
curator for monument to Pennsylva-
MIA soldiers near Petersburg?
1t is far from my desire to raise any
sectional issue, but as d matter OF fact
and common sense ! cannot Just see
any reason for our becoming respon-
men who, touching tho subject as
lightly as possible. certainly inflicted
great injury upon the State at the
time of the Civil War. Admitting
main. and considering the question OF
the great property loss inflicted upon
Virginia BY the Union armies. 1t does
not appear to mo proper that we
sh ould take any initiative In this mat
or Pennsylvania Is concerned. Not a
single monument to Confederate OH
Ger or organization is allowed on the
Hollywood 1!e,n w iet there Il anu granite shaft
and marker which the Daughters OF
the Confederacy Of Philadelphia wish ed
to place In memory OF the Confeder-
cemeteries. but which the Philadelphia
authorities refused TO allow to be placed
In position.
I would be glad Il the south-lov-
| Tighten US as to this. 1t might say
that we were rebels" and deserved
| nothing better, but that would not
quite cover the question, because Viz,
ginia has some say In the matter.
| think it would be we'll for tho next
Legislature to take cognizance OF this
monument business. and exercise some
supervision over It. AS it stands nov
there IS nothing to prevent monu.
lnent being erected to John Brown
4 or any negro regiment in the Uniocr
army, at our very doors. I think thu
character Of the organization should
| be Investigated before permission !!
| allowed to erect the monument
| In conclusion. l think as far al
| Pennsylvania is concerned that "turr
about Is fair play" and when they al
/ low US to erect monuments to our deat
on Pennsylvania soil. thea, and no
until then, sh ould we become guardian
Of monuments to their dead.
