who fear God and hate covetousness and
set them over US The Rev. DIR. Wyle
was speaking on The campaign that

After showing that both the political

be enthusiastic, to suffer hardship and
to be imbued with great principles. he
continued: THE work before the church
is great, difficult and often discouraging,
for our whole national life must be satu-
rated with the principles OF the Gospel"

DR.. John Millar Moore, formerly a sur
geon in the navy, was passenger by the
American liner New York, in yesterday
from Southampton and Cherbourg. He
manifested no outward signs Of insanity
and his fellow voyagers we're unaware
that he was just out Of a madhouse at
Vile Evrard, near Paris. He was in
charge Of friend, E. H. Fulenwider, and
will be taken to a private sanitarium.
He was brought aboard the steamship at
Cherbourg by attendants Of the institu-
ton at Vile Evrard, having been in the
asylum several months.
DIR. Moore is native OF Virginia and
was appointed from South Carolina,
entering the service in 1892. Two years
ago while aboard the battlsship Indiana
he got into trouble because Of his habits
and was suspended. He served aboard
the battleship Kansas later. The officers
of the New York did not know how he
finally got to Paris and into a public
madhouse.

PLAN no vOID BALLOTS.
Pastor Hears Of OfIeF eT % to Hughes
Men for the Cut Out Democratic Circle.

Men for the Cut Out Democratic CtrcIe.
The Rev. Dr. John F. Carson. pastor
Of the Central Presbyterian Church In
Brooklyn, speaking to more than 1900
persons In his church yesterday, made an
appeal for the reelection of Gov, Hughes.
He was followed by several other preach
ers Of various denominations who spoke
similarly, advising all honest men irre-
spective Of party to vote for the "cham-
pion Of the Constitution"
DR.. Carson early In his address said
that mana Republican who was even
then seated in the audience-had told
him that in certain election districts
where honesty and ignorance charac-
terized the voters plans had been
laid to deprive Hughes Of many votes.
Voters would be offered 81 for the Demo-
cratic circle and star on the ballots that
they cast
They would be instructed to make their
mark under the Republican emblem like
good Republicans and to cut out the other
circle while doing 80. On delivering
the circle to the proper persons they
would get the 50 and would still have the
satisfaction of deluding themselves into
the belief that they had voted an honest
ballot OF course the ballot would be
thrown out as mutilated. DR.. Carson
wouldn't say where this was to take place
for fear of giving his informer away.
The involving of moral issues, he said,
makes voting u religion and makes the
casting of the ballot as sacred as the
taking of the sacrament at the commun-
ion table. The action OF the school teach
ers in sending out circulars calling for
the defeat of Gov. Hughes because he
had refused to sign the equal pay bill
placed them, according TO the minister.
on a par with the meanest grafters in
political life.
The Rev. Robert Fl. Carson. pastor OF
the Grace Presbyterian Church. told the
audience that he was an 1rishman who
intended to vote the Republican ticket 4,
and wanted to know If they wouldn't
rather have Governor who would con-
slider their affairs alone than one who
would consider them in small room with
c. Francis Murphy or my fellow country
man Patrick H. McCarren."
Canon William Sheafe Chase and the
Rev. DR.. James NJ. Farrar also lauded
Hughes and advised honest men to vote
for him as the executor of the laws and
the enemy OF bossism
\ letter from the Rev. DR.. Newell
Dwight Hills was read in which the pastor
Of Plymouth Church said 1t would be a
monstrous thinS to defeat man for
executing the law, and DIR. S. Parkes
Cadman in letter spoke of Hughes as
the sanest and biggest man in politics

sstance from me- Two Of these had ex-
posures OF one hour. No continuous

may reach the important inference that
last night the comets light was very
largely intrinsic. Seven bands we're very
conspicuous as knots on the plate. am
measuring the spectra this morning but
have no doubt that they will prove to
show the ordinary hydro-carbon spec

The photographs taken last night, at
