Powerful Sermon-There was an
other large audience N onday night at
the NJ. E. church, and Rev. Cara
dine preached one Of his characteris-
tic sermons, taking for his subject
"Sin and Sal,ation'', from the text,
Proverbs, 28-13": "He that covereth
bis sins shall not prosper" Speaking
Of the text among other things, the
preacher saidL
"Here We find this word sin again,
this curse of the world. Sin is al
ways culse,-you can't get any good
out Of it. Sin is an unmitigated
curse. It can bring nothing but sor-
row and Gnhappiness. God says so
and He knows the character of sin.
He has likened it to the most loathe-
some things.
But two great topics of the bible,
Sin and Salvation, do not receive
the proper treatment. And We find
that there Is to be great salvation
because here has been such great
sin.
God likens sin to fire. AS a fire
burns and destroys things, so sin
purns and destroys character and
happiness.
God likens sin to rebellion. A sim
ner is nothing on earth but "Se,,
cesh.'' And so God cones up to you
tonight if you are no! converted
man, and he says, "You have got to
throw down your gun and pull down
your flag, or 60 to my penitentiary." !"
Another word l find in the text is
"cover." God says uncover sins. 1t
would pay you to take Gods view .of
things. The first thing man or wo-
man would do when they com nit anv
kind of sin, is to hide it. Adam and
Eve hid their sins from God. A man
may cover his sins by gracious man
ner and pleasant outward appear
ance, and yet he carries whole Sec
tion of hell in his heart. Trying to
make out you are better than you
are, and then striking at the Church
for its hypocrisy"

Bad Luck Followed the Dakota

Bad Luck Followed the Dakota
The unlucky career OF the steam
ship Dakota is explained fully, at
least to the sailors satisfaction, by
two incidents that happened when
the boat was first launched and first
put into trade. 1t is said that the
girl, Miss Flemington, who was un-
usually tall, in breaking the wine
bottle across the ships nose in the
launching at New London, Conn.,, in
February 1904, struck The figures l3
painted on the PROV of the vessel to
indicate the depth of water. Another
incident of even greater i'll omen
from sailors point OF view, was an
accident on the first trip out, which
compelled the ship to return to port
at Seattle and unload part of her car
60. A sailor is very superstitious
about such an occurance on the first
trip and the unhappy fate of the ship
near Toxic is not therefor to be won-
dered at, according to nautical lore.
The big ship is reported too big for
profitable commerce in the first place
on account Of the inability to get
full loads at both ends of the trip,
and the enormous expense of running
the ship in the matter of fuel, wages
Of seamen, and other items, and the
losses that would follow while wait
ing for enough freight to make
paying load. 1t is probable shat two
smaller ships representing the same
cost would have proved better invest
ments. The object Of Mr.. Hills
construction of such mammoth ships
was to divert attention to the orient
al trade, and get it started IN the in
teresG Gs of the railroads and specially
Of the north1 est, and flis object has
been accomplished even If one OF the
ships has been unlucky.

Warm at Bismarck-In the in
sestigation of Landlord Patterson's
Bismarck hotel, The Northwest, and
the alleged sale Of booze by the pro-
prietor, four charges were brought,
three for the violation Of the prohl :
bition lays and one for maintaining
a house Of i'll fame. An affidavit OF
prejudice has been filed BY the de-
fendant to remove the further con-
duct Of proceedings from the juris-
diction OF Supreme Judge Spalding
Who sat as committing magistrate in
three Of the. mplainrs, including the
last named above. A correspondent OF
the Fargo Forum says that this last
named charge is regarded IN Bis
marck, with general expressions OF
disapproval and depreciation and
adds:
ssThe Northwest has for years been
and still continues to be, the leading
hostelry in Bismarck, and is at the
present time used BY all prominent
visitors TO Bismarck as stopping
place. All the judges of the supreme
court make this hotel their head
quarters, as does also the Judge OF
the u. S. district court, which is
now in session. in this city. Many
other prominent jurists are now
guests at the Northwest, and during
the session Of the legislature just
closed a great many n embers Of both
houses, together with their wives,
made the Northwest --their home.
Mr.. Patterson's family which in
cludes his wife, his sister and his two
nieces, all of whom move in the best
society Of the city and who are uni
versally respected, also reside at the
Northwest.
"The informa tion on which the
charges are based was elicited behind
closed doors, in the presence Of but
four people. besides the person being
examined. Even the litter personal
enemies of Mr.. Patterson are regrett-
ing the methods of the prosecution.
''The women who swore to the
: complaint in which Patterson is
charged with maintaining bawdy
house, were only in service at the
hotel fox a few da is, one Of them in
August last and the other this win
ter, both Of them being discharged
for cause. /"

STOCK PRICES BETTER.

NEW YORK, March 16.-Brokers reported
q continuance of investment buying at the

traders sold for profits, and this, together
with fears OF adverse bank statement
gave the market slight setback soon after

however, and prices became generally better
than at the opening.
In banking circles 1t was said that the
drastic liquidation had strengthened the
financial situation, but the hope was ex-
pressed that the markets recovery would
not be too precipitate.
A squeeze of shorts developed in the stock
market In the last half hour OF the short
session. which resulted in wild upward
night OF prices. The buying had been On a
very large scale all day. and strong ad-

TRIAL NEARS AN END
THAW CASE PROBABLY GOES TO
THE JURY FRIDAY.

NEW YORK, March 16-'"Thank God. the
end is in sight!'
This was the fervent whisper of District
Attorney Jerome at the Thaw trial yester-
day, uttered loud enough for the reporters
to hear, following a favorable decision by
Justice Fitzgerald regarding the Hummel
affidavit. The strain on those attending the
trial has been severe. Justice Fitzgerald
has shown the effects of it, have the
lawyers for the defense and the district at
torney. When Mr.. Jerome asked for an
additional fifteen minutes yesterday at the
usual hour for adjournment, Mr. Delmas
protested. declaring that his endurance had
been stretched to the breaking point. He
would not consent to another minute OF
extra session.
Mr. Jerome did his best to get from Mr..
Delmas estimate on the length Of time
that would be required to complete the
sur-rebuttal, but Thaws lawyers declined to
give any suggestion on this line.
1t is generally believed, however, that
Monday and Tuesday will see the close OF
evidence and Wednesday and Thursday will
be used in summing up. There Is every
reason to believe that Friday will put the
fate of Harry K. Thaw In the hands Of the
jury, unless some unexpected development
occurs
Hummel Affidavit.
The sensational affidavit which Mr..
Jerome fought 50 hard to get into the evil
dence probably will be read in court Mon
day. Lawyer Hummel testified only as to
its tendency and through other witnesses
Mr.. Jerome established the fact that
Photographic and carbon copies of the AFT
fdavit were in existence. He then asked
that the affidavit be read, but Lawyer Del
mas for tine defense objected, time for
adjournment had come.
1t is not thought that Mr.. Delmas will
object to Its reading on Monday.
The affidavit gives Evelyn Nesbits story
the continent during which time. according
to the affidavit, Thaw beat her several
times in an effort to make her swear to
document charging White with having
drugged and attacked her when she was
girl of fifteen. The affidavit also declares
that Evelyn Nesbit submitted to the lash
ings. declaring that White had never
wronged her-a sworn statement in direct
contradiction to her story on the stand of
what she told Thaw in Paris.
For few minutes Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
was on the stand again yesterday. Except
for looking a trifie paler and perhaps thin
ner she. was the same young woman in
every appearance who testified to the most
remarkable story of the trial.
Henry c. McPike Of counsel for Thaw
made application at the supreme court to-
day for several additional subpenas in the
Thaw case. He declined to make known
the names of the witnesses wanted.
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw, Mrs. William Thaw
and the Countess of Yarmouth visited Har-
ry Thaw in his cell today. and remained
with him for long time. On leaving
Thaws wife said:
Harry Is looking fine. and feeling as
good he looks
1t was learned that Thaw was confident
of the result Of the trial and satisfied with
its progress.
