writer and speaker, spoke on 1.-The Cour-
age of Man" at a meeting for men only
at the Young Mems Christian association
yesterday afternoon lie said no man
can rise in the world without moral
courage. If Aaron Burr had had moral
courage his name would not be a disgrace
TO himself and to the country today" he
said. III a man las moral courage and
Is true to God he is bound TO rise Chris
uanity never asks a man to become de-
graded. but says arise and progress"
He cited Lincoln's action IN freeing the
slaves as an example OF great moral
courage. and OF his being true 20 a
heavenly vision.
God. through His divine power made
II known to Lincoln that he was 10 free
the slaves. II took great moral courage
10 do that But this shows that when
any person Is true to his heavenly vision
he ts bound 10 rise.
The greatest battles OF the world and
those that destroy OF make nations are
fought IN the soul. The fight starts IN
the soul and II IL there the battle RACES
the hardest No man will ever DO apie
70 live the life God wants him TO unless
ne secs his heavenly vision and has
moral courase-the courage OF man"

One of Greatest Sins.

At ST. Cecllia's church Sunday morning
Bishop Scannell took occasion TO express
his views relative to those who are
abundantly supplied with the goods OF
this world, and who spend their time In
idleness and during the course OF his ser
mon he paid his respects to the question
able shows presented at some OF the the
Aters.
The sermon had to do with Judgment"
Il being designated as a balancing Of jus.
ttce, Justice being one OF the laws OF
God, tempered with mercy. The justice
OF God was described as never being bad
1t was argued that man may for time
interrupt and interfere with the moral
laws, but in the end he must make resu-
tuition and account for all OF the viola
tions. for a sin against Justice cannot be
repented unless there is restitution.
No sin, contended the bishop is harder
to repent than the sin against justice, as
justice requires a restitution, while there
are many other sins that but require re-
pentance.
Restitution in many instances. e is con-
tended, said the bishop. may injure bust

High School Athletics" have been sent
out to the principals of forty of the lead
ing high schools in the middle west by

Restores Patient
With Cigarettes

Cigarettes. substituted for medicinal
remedies, are being given Dan Grady,
who sustained a fracture OF the skull
stairs of the Globe hotel, 1lO1 Douglas
street.
The man had been in precarious con-
dition at st. Joseph's hospital until four
days ago, when he was allowed the un-
usual privilege Of smoking cigarettes.
Since that time he has shown gradua'
Improvement and the surgeons, who have
had him i'm their care believe that II will
only be a short time before he IL able
TO return 10 his home at California juno
ton. Ia. where he was employed as tele-
graph operator at the time of his mishap.
Grady was unconscious for more than
week after the accident. AS soon as
he gained semi-consciousness he began to
show his desire to smoke cigarettes.
When a newspaper was thrown on his
bed the man picked it up, rolled II as a
cigarette is rolled, and placed It in his
mouth. When he began convalescing,
every piece of paper was treated the
same way and pencils could not be kept
from his mouth.
Noticing this, the nurses reported to Dr.
T. T. Harris and were astonlshed to hear
the physician prescribe three cigarettes

His illness now" Or. Harris says, lis

Princeton y. j.. March s.-An X-ray ex-
animation was made OF Pendleton's leg to-
day, and il showed that the injury is not
as serious as was at FIRST supposed. In
stead OF the large bone OF the leg being
broken. to-day's examination showed that
only a small bone in the ankle had been
fractured. Pendleton was injured during
baseball practice last Saturday afternoon,
and has been in the college infrmary since
then
Although the injury is not so bad as was
reported IL will keep him on crutches for
some time. and II is not likely that he will
be able TO play on tho baseball team in

eight from the Far West worked his
way TO a popular verdict over Connie
Schmidt. Of Hoboken, in a ten-round bout
at the Olympic Athletic Club OF Harlem
last night.
Sullivan was too big and too rangy for
Schmidt and had a little the better Of every
exchange. At the end Of the bout schmidt
was in bad condition from the clean. heavy
blows OF the man from the prairies. and
was willing to hold on and gain his breath.
Schmidt did his best work in the
cinches. and in this particular branch Of
the work he had all the better Of the
milling. He ripped in short hooks 10 the
body and kidneys. which Redeemed the
Western mans back and Jared and hurt
him. Jack. however. was entirely too dis
Greet To remain al close quarters with a
wildcat, and he always covered in the
clinches until the referee broke the men
Sullivan started out at leisurely pace,
and was evidently content 70 loaf along.
and some Of the more impatient members
branded him as an impostor As Schmidt
carried the war into the foothills Sullivan
hraced 10 the work. and Schmidt was
willing 10 accept the latters terms and say
little. Jack stood off in the opening round
and merely felt his man ont with short
