SEVENTH DAY ADvENTIsTS.
Ten Days Conference in Session at
Port Norfolk.

Norfolk, Aug. 16.-Pastor W. D.
Stone, of Richmond, president OF the
VIRGINIA Conference, Seventh Day
Adventlsts, was the principal speaker
Thursday night before the conference
and camp meeting being held at Fort
Norfolk. His address marked the
beginning of ten days conference
which viii be attended by delegates
from all sections Of the State.
In his opening sermon Pastor W. D..
Stone stated that meetings similar to
that which is being held here are I'M
derway in every state in the Union as
well as the principal foreign coun-
tries, giving the same message that
Jesus Christ is coming again In TINS
generation and calling all to obedl-
ence to the true God the creator OF
heaven and earth.
Said the speaker: "This contro-
versy between Christ and Satan has
been going on for nearly six thous-
and years but it is to have speedy
end"
MIR. Stone began his sermon with
the first chapter CT the Bible and
ended with The hast book. He briefly
reviewed creation, the fall Of man, his
shameful wanderings in sin and the
great plan of redemption.
He laid great emphasis to the fact
that Gods plan of salvation has al
ways had special features connected
with it applicable to each succeeding
generation, the time and conditions
making necessary the giving of spe-
cial messages. Such was the condi-
tion of the world at the time of the
food that Co., sent by Noah a warn
ing message SELLING all of the coming
deluge. Unbelief in that special mes
sage left them to their fate.
The same was true in the days of
Lot, when Sodom and Gomorrah We're
destroyed. Both these instances are
set forth by the Master as examples
of tihe condition of the world before
His second coming. "Today," declared
'Mr. Stone. eve are living just before
Ohnist,s return, therefore a message
is due telling the world of this great
est of all events. 1t may be found in
the last book of the Bible, Retela ion,
chapter A." declared the speaker.
He said: "This special message
which is given in three parts is to. go
to earth's remotest bounds. The first
angel bears the solemn message that
the hour of Gods Judgment is come
1the second says Babylon is fallen, and
THE third and Last sounds solemn
warming against false worship and
calling all to the keeping of the Com
mandants of God and the faith of
Jesus"
"Tlhis, said the speaker, ais why we
call ourselves Seventh Day Adventists
Me believe the Lords advent to be
near and that obedience to the entire
ten Commandments is incumbent
upon an Christians.

PEOPLES FIGHT
HAS BEEN WON"
wII SON.
Tariff Bill Passes Senate; Vote
Is "A TO 81
WILSON.

President Wilson issued this state
ment after the senate had passed the
tariff bill:
"A fight for the people and for free
business which lasted a long genera
tion through has at last been won,
handsomely and completely. A leader
ship and a steadfastness in council
has been shown in both houses of
which the Democratic party has rea-
son to be very proud. There has been
no weakness or confusion or drawing
back, but a statesmanlike directness
and command of the circumstances.
81 am happy to have been connected
with the government of the nation at
time when such things could happen
and to have worked with men who
could do them. There is every reason
to believe that currency reform will
be carried through with equal energy,
directness and loyalty to the general
interest. When that is done this first
session of the siXty-third congress will
have passed into history with an un-
rivaled distinction.
81 want to express my special ad-
miration for the devoted, intelligent
and untiring work of Mr.. Underwood
and Mr.. Simmons and the committee
associated with them"
The tariff bill passed the senate by
vote of A to 81. 1t went through
carrying all the features for which
President Wilson has contended-
free wool, free sugar, free meats and
greatly reduced duties on all all Of
the necessaries of life. The result
was a great personal victory for Wood
row Wilson and he is being showered
with messages of congratulation.
The bill now goes to conference be-
tween the two houses and ten days,
it is expected, will see final action on
the important measure which already
has dragged along for five months.
The vote in the senate was big with
political possibilities. Two Republi-
cans, La Toilette of Wisconsin and
Poindexter of Washington, voted for
the Democratic bill. Only two Demo
Gratis, Thornton and Ransdell Of Louis
lana, failed to stand by the caucus
pledge. They voted with most of the
Republicans against the measure.

Liverpoors Unprecedented Tribute.

Liverpools Unprecedented Tribute.
The body of Mayor Gaynor lay in
state on Friday night in the town hall
in Liverpool, England, under a guard
of police. 1t remained there until it
was taken aboard the Cunard liner
Lusitania to begin its last journey to
the United States.
1t was a remarkable and unprec-
edented tribute that Liverpool
showed to Americas illustrious dead.
Hours before the Baltic arrived the
Princess landing stage was filled
with thousands who were anxious to
pay silent homage to the late mayor.
AS soon as the Baltic had been
moored Mr.. Washington, American
consul general; Dock Commissioner
Dow, officials of the White Star line
and representatives of civic bodies
went aboard and offered their con-
dolences to Rufus Gaynor, the mayor s
son.
1t was not long after the vessel had
been moored before a plain wooden
box, partly hidden by draping of the
Stars and Stripes, was taken to a
waiting hearse on the landing stage.
The little procession, escorted by
five mounted police, moved slowly
through streets lined with multitudes,
who raised their hats as 1t passed, to
The historic town hall while the Bal
tics whistle sounded a one-minute
dirge.
In the history of Liverpool no citi-
zen, not to mention a person OF for
eign birth, has lain in state in the
town hall, but last night the remains
of New York's mayor covered with the
Stars and Stripes, rested there on a
catafalque which was brought from
Westminster Abbey. 1t was one on
Ehich the bodies of many of England's S
great dead, the last being Field
Marshal Wolsley, reposed. Half a
dozen great candelabra that never
burned in honor of foreign civilians
stood around, casting a tlickering light
on the tall forms of six uniformed con-
stables.
At the head of the catafalque was
a magnificent wreath, inscribed: with
the deepest sympathy from the Lord
Mayor and Citizens of Liverpool" "
There vas another from the American
consul general and his wife.
When the night vigil ended the re.
mains were escorted, as on their ar.
rival, to the landing stage where a
White Star line tender took them to
the Lusitania.
1t was the one bright spot O.. this
occasion of sorrow to see the spon
taneous and united efforts of every
body in Liv rpool to show unbounded
respect to one of Americas eminent
men.

LONG JOURNEY
TO MATTEAWAN
ThaW'S Lawyers Expect to Keep
Him Away For h9nthS
GROSSMAN OUTLINES PLANS
Head Counsel For Prisoner In New
Hampshire Believes Complications
A-PIenty Can Be Introduced in Case.

At Colebrook, N. H., Harry X.
Thaw's attorneys vertured the opinion
today that he will not be back in Mat
teawan in less than six months If ever.
Meantime w. T. Jerome was sanguine
he will have Thaw hack in New York
in two or three days.
Moses |. Grossman of New York,
who is now Thaws chief of counsel,
says he has received assurances that
Governor Felker will not issue an ex.
ecutive warrant for the extradition OF
Thaw without first granting hearing"
Reports are so varied as to what
Governor Felker is going to do
that it is impossible to guess what
will happen to Thaw. While Gross
man is convinced that Governor
Felker will grant a hearing before a
warrant for Thaw's extradition is is-
sued, Jerome says he will not.
SHERIFF Hornbrook of Duchess coun'
ty," said Jerome, "is on his way to
Concord to see Governor Felker. We
have been assured by the governor
that he has already studied the case
and is prepared to issue the necessary
warrant for Thaws removal to New
York without delay"
Thaws counsel has a plan Of cam
paign mapped out by which they hope
to keep their client away from New
York for six months and possibly
year. Mr.. Grossman outlined the pos
sibilities of the case in this way:
I'VE ara told that Governor Felker
will grant hearing to us before he
signs the executive warrant for
Thaw's extradtion. We hope the gov
ernor will decide that Thaw should be
given his liberty in this state. Should
he not decide so, however, we have
been assured by him that before he
issues the executive warrant he will
give us time to sue out a writ of
habeas corpus and thus throw the mat
ter into the courts of New Hampshire.
"If the first court of this state does
not sustain our writ we shall appeal
to the supreme court and thus keep
Thaw out of Matteawan for at least
six months"
There was pretty strong denial on
the part of Thaw's forces that any in
tention had been harbored by them to
spirit Thaw out of New Hampshire by
strong arm methods or otherwise. On
the other hand Thaw's chief counsel
did not hesitate to accuse Jerome OF
having planned to kidnap Thaw if he
had the chance.
"And in that connection" said Gross
man, I'D like to say that If Jerome
tries to take Thaw back to New York
by force he will meet with a riot. We
are perfectly prepared to resist any
such move" Coaticook citizens, about
fifty, are camping at Colebrook.
In statement Thaw admitted that
he had been offered the opportunity to
escape if he would take it. but don't
want to escape" said Thaw. 81 intend
to fight this matter out and have my
self sent to Pennsylvania or be given
my liberty"
