DIR. WHARTON'S PRAYER.

Twenty thousand persons In the
Baltimore convention hall yesterday
applauded Rev. DR.. Henry NJ. Whar-
ton, pastor of Brantly Baptist church,
of the Monumental City.
There have been occasions during
the sessions of this historical gath
cring when applause has run riot, but
it was the first time that there was
any demonstration over a prayer
Even as his stalwart frame COM
manded attention upon his introdue-
ton, so the piercing words OF the Bal
timore minister found a lodging place
in the hearts of his hearers.
The invocation was as follows:
ooh God our Father, we stand here
great company of people, our hearts
turned to Thee in gratitude and sup
plication. Thou hast blessed us with
great country and guided US unto
this hour. We have reached the time
in the history of this Convention when
of all others Thy wisdom is most need
ed.
"The affairs of our government
seem about to pass to other hands
and will it please Thee that they may
accept the tremendous responsibility
and discharge the trust that shall be
given unto their hands with sincerity
and with conscientious performance OF
duty
"Wc pray Thee that Thou wilt guide
the councils Of this hour in the selec'
ton of candidate for the presidency
of our great country and that Thou
wilt give to us man who fears COD
who is guided by his word and whose
heart turns in sympathy to the grea'
multitudes who daily toll for their Nv
ing and for those who are dear II
their hearts.
"Wilt Thou give us a man who Wi
guide our ship of state out from TIT
icebcrgs of greed and selfishness int

TOPICS FOR SERMONS.

Church sermons should be practi
cal and to the point and doctrinal dis
/ courses from the pulpit to the congre
cation should be omitted.
This was the prevailing sense OF the
speeches of number of promlnen
laymen, including members of Con
gress and prominent business men Of
Washington, made at luncheon Civ
en- by B. Fl. Warner at the New Ebbltt
yesterday afternoon in honor OF Rev
DR.. Charles Wood, pastor OF the
Church of the Covenant, previous tt
his departure for his summer vaca'
ton at jamestown, R. l.
B. H. Warner said that business
men want direct preaching and do not
want lectures. "a man that wants
literature" ne said, "can get 1t al
the library. Business men want SER
mons that carry the gospel IN most
effective and successful manner. We
want to feel that the preacher IS anx-
ious to make US better people" MI
Warner said that millions OF dollars
are expended for all sorts OF amuse-
ment enterprises to draw men away
from the church and something should
he done to counterfeit his influence.
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon
who called himself a "proxy" Presby-
terrain because he accompanied ms
wife to church soemtimes spoke IN
favor of practical sermons and sug-
crested that doctrinal sermons be omit
ted. The speaker advocated that MN
isters preach politics and matters per-
tanning to public affairs from the
pulpit and should call attention TO
existing evils in the community.
Representative Padgett, of Iennes-
see said that those churches had emp
tv pews whose ministers preached
about something neither they tAam'
celves nor their congregation Kne"
anything about.
Col. Charles Lyman said that the
sermon, like everything else, had eX-
nerienced an evolution for the BETTER
and Levi Cooke was Of the opinion
that the ministers should preac hser-
mons of the kind that ale needed by
their respective congregations ana
not the kind that are wanted by them.

FORMER CONVENTIONS.

The Baltimore Convention is not
without precedent.
The Democratic Convention at
Charleston, S. c., in 1860, was unable
to choose nominee after 81 ballots.
On this occasion Benjamin F. Butler
voted on every ballot for Jefferson
Davis for President. A year later
they found themselves in different
camps.
The Democratic Convention at New
York in 1868 was compelled to take
twenty-five ballots before reaching q
nomination.
At the Republican convention IN
Chicago in 1880 thirty-six ballots were
taken.

and entered into a law partnership.
He played a leading part in recon

1877 on the Democratic ticket for

st. Patrick Hall on Jan. s, 1878.
He declined to run again in 1879,
when the constitutional convention
was called, and this resulted in the
election of Louis F. Wilt by the
Democratic party of the State.
After retiring from the Governor
ship, he took up the practice OF law
in New Orleans, but again embarked
in politics when the anti-lottery cru

To the older generations in Louisi-
ana, the life and deeds Of Francis T.
Nichols are craven deep upon the
heart. But that the younger genera
tons may know, and not forget, let
these facts following be recounted:
Francis T. Nichols was born Aug
20, 1884, at DonaldsonVille, La. He
was the son of Thomas c. Nichols
and Louisa Hanna Drake, sister o.
the famous poet, Joseph Rodma1
Drake. He was married on Apri
&C. 1860, at Thibodaux, La, to Mis-
Caroline z. Guion, a member Of tn
prominent family of that name.

Brilliant War Record.

Early in his youth, Gov. Nichols
entered West Point, and was gradu-
ated with high honors He was sta
toned as a breyet lieutenant in Flor

the campaign against the Seminoles
He afterwards was stationed at Fort
Yuma, Ariz. After leaving the army
he took up his residence in Napo
leOnville, La, and engaged in the

Battling Hurley Draws with
Phil Cross; Cobb Knocked out

Boxing fans who crowded the st.
Nicholas Rink. New York, last night
met a double disappointment. Patsy
Kline, the crack local featherweight,
was to have met Johnny Dundee IN
the star bout of ten rounds, but he
was unable to appear because of an
infected boil in his arm.
The management substituted Young
Ty Cobb, of Philadelphia. The lads
had only beer boxing a little over a
minute when the Quaker youth fell
to the floor apparently in great ag-
ony. He failed to rise and upon be-
ing carried to his corner a physician
was called. An examination showed
that the boxer had a dislocated left
ankle. Up to the time of the mis-
hap the bout had gone evenly. A
commotion followed the announce
ment that Dundee was willing to meet
anyone.
Offers galore were hurled from the
gallery, but finally the MANAGEMENT
secured a suitable opponent.
Action fierce and furious marked
the bout between Battling Hurley,
the Passaic whirlwind, and Phil
Cross, of New York. The former COW
cred UP more than usual last night,
to the surprise of several admirers,
but. anyway, gave Phil just as much
as he received. The Jerseyite shot
lefts and rights to Phils jaw that
had the east side lightweight o
ried. Hurley forced the mill most of
the way. Phil was tired smashing
the Battler's arms, however, as Hur-
lev kept his face covered through
out the entire ten sessions. He would
come in close with both hands over
his face and then make wild swings
at Phils Jaw. If they landed, but ifi
they didn't, it didn't make much diff
ference. 1t was said Hurley was o
feeling well at the start. This proba-
blv was the cause of him nc show
ing up to his great name as a AZ
tier. In the fourth round Hurley cut
his opponents right y and from
that time to the end the optic
gave Phil trouble. Both We're fight
ing fast at the end. 1t was a good
draw.
Tommy O'Keefe, of Philadelphia,
fought Leach Cross ten hard rounds
to a draw. 1t was one of the most
lightweight battles staged 10
York for some time. The Phila-
.efphian lived up to all the stories
Of his ring prowess which have pre-
coded him, and although he had to
take some hard punches from the
asst side dentist he handed back far
more than Cross is in the habit of
receiving. Leach will carry the marks
bf last nights bout for some time.
O'Keefe had never fought in Man
haitian before, and it was expected
when the boys shook hands thai Cross
would be recorded the winner with
exertion. O'Weefe is a shifty
with a good defense, a
