The money simply poured in and pen

worthy cause.
A sum in the aggregate OF $500
was received and the collections
Throughout the day brought the sum
to near the three thousand dollars
which will be adequate to pay local
expenses incurred during the and pre-.
vious to the campaign
Preceding the taking Of the sub
scriptlons Mr.. ]. NJ. Black, the chair
man Of the finance committee, read a
statement of the local expenses,
showing that they had amounted in
the aggregate to $500, the collection
which had been taking during the
meeting having been some $1,000 d.
minishing this amount to something
like $2.5OO. The collections through
out the day brought the grand total OF
yesterdays contributions to $4,000.
DR.. Lyon kept his audience in u
good humor during the entire morning
with his humorous stories and had no
trouble to keep them interested and
to got the results.
DIR. Lyon gave his audience a new
way of spelling personal conservation
during the taking OF the collection
Sunday morning. Instead Of the usual
spelling OF the word Personal he gave
the new spelling as Purse.and-all.
The hour neared twelve before the
subscriptions had been finished and
DR.. Lyon announced that he would
postpone his sermon "The Dlety Of
Christ" which he was to have preach
ed until next Sunday morning. The
majority OF the congregation were dis.
appointed at this announcement and
many preferred to stay another hour
to listen to the words OF the great
evangelist as they pour from his elo.
Quent tongue.

DESPITE the heavy rains which Wis
tied this section all Saturday night

was full for the Sunday morning SER
vice and there was no lack OF enthll'
slasm among THOSE attending. Dr..
Lyon stated that this was a splendid
omen that Fairmont meant business
and for the success of the great re-
vival.
The roof OF the tabernacle had leak
ed considerably and portions OF thu
building were rendered damp and unI
comfortable, hoewver, everything pos
sible was done for the comfort Of the
congregation and none stayed away
on account of the dlscomforts occd'
stoned by the rains.
The morning service opened with
an inspiring song service lead by Prof.
Mitchell, which did much to dispel the
gloom which might have been oCca'
stoned BY the heavy downpour OF rain.
Prof. Mitchell had everybody singing
as only he can, and caused the con-
gregatlon to forget that the sun vas

MENT.
(By ASSOCIATED PREsSl

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2S.-A
rush Of speech making on the final
Gay Of general debate on the tariff bill
made lively proceedings in the House
Most Of the members had held back
with n view OF getting the larger audi
ences expected with the closing OF the
debate. Chairman Underwood has moi
changed his view that the bill should
be disposed of in the House one week
from today and that the sugar tarttt
is not likely to cause much real trou'
hle. He hopes that unless the fight
q! the anti.free wool advocates spread
the bill will emerge from the Senate
substantially in the form in which It
stands. Mr.. Underwood contends the
United states is entirely within ita
rights In the provisions Of the bill!
against which foreign nations have
protested. The clause which would
grant a five per cent. tariff preference
on goods imported in American veS'
sells, Mr.. Underwood said, was to en-
courage the building Of American ships
and violated no treaty.
The French protest is again the pro.
vision that foreign manufacturers and
agents shall submit their books to the
United states when demanded. THIS
clause does not mean that the United
states Is going TO try to learn the Sc
cret of foreign manufacturers but to

DR.. Lyon did not mince matters in

the retailers and statesmen and tho
imbibers in great. shape and showed
up in its true light the curse of drink
and Its bilghting effect upon mankind.
DR.. Lyon is thoroughly conversant
with the various phases of the liquor
curse and has facts ana figures to
prove each statement he makes, He
attacked the subject in all its phases,
pro and con, and left no props what
ever for the manufacturer, Wholesaler,
retailer or purchaser to stand upon.
His talk was based upon the facts
of the financial folly OF drinking, Its
legal aspect, its social aspect and the
degradation which follows excessive
drinking on the morals OF the man,
This was generally regarded as
among the most profound sermons
ever delivered on the booze question
in this city and had a most visible ef-
