New York, Sept. 15.-Despite the
objections Of her ambitious mother,
Miss Katherine Force, sister of Mrs.
Madeline Force Astor, is busily pre-
pairing for her wedding late this
month to Henri Harnickel, poor but
honest clerk in the office of a New
York broker
The mother objects to the marriage
of her daughter TO Mr.. Harnickel be-
cause the latter has no wealth. But
Katherine seems determined to marry
the man, simply because she loves
him. In this determination she is
seconded by her sister, the widow of
the late Colonel Aston.
Money can buy pearls and dia-
monds, grand houses and yachts, but
it cannot buy love" recently declared

subject of the resurrection is some

BEYOND CRAVE is
ALECTURE THEME
Pastor Sexton of London In
terests an Audience at the
Empire Theatre.

Many turned out yesterday TO hear
Pastor E. D. Sexton OF London, Eng,
discuss what lies Beyond the Grave"
The lecture was given in the morning
at the Empire theatre. Interest ran
high throughout his entire discourse.
which lasted for over an hour. The
lecture covered much of the scrip
lures from Genesis to Revelation, and
few sermons have been preached in
which the bible was so freely quoted.
The pastor was strong in his conten-
ton that there is an opportunity for
pUl cation from SIN beyond the grave.
Nor was he without support from the
book of books. In fact he said that
the scriptures as a whole supported
this thought. Every knee shall bow
and every tongue confess that He is
God" Since this has never yet taken
place with the great majority of man
kind. its fulflllment must be future;
beyond the grave many knees will bow
which have never bowed before The
Lord Is that true light, which light
eth every man that cometh into the
world" the billions not enlightened on
this side of the grave must be enlight-
ened on the other side, else Gods
word is false Il, if | be lifted up,
will draw all men unto me" Surely
the Lord has not drawn all men unto
Him on this side Of the grave; it
must be beyond the grave where these
words will he fulfilled.
Some might object, quoting the text:
Nov is the day Of salvation, now is
the acceptable time" etc. But this
verse reads a little differently in the
language in which it was first written.
Instead of reading, Now is the day
as does the English, the Hebrew
reads: Now is the day OF salvation,
now Is an acceptable time implying
that there is another day of salvation,
and another acceptable time These
blunders in translation, made several
hundred years ago, have caused many
otherwise well thinking people to sup
pose that God is accepting few now
who chance to hear of Christ in this

will consign all the rest, the vast
majority of His creatures, to a hell
of fire and birthstone to be tortured
forever. Recently. however, all Chris
tian people are awakening more and
rore TO the real teachings of the bible
and to a deeper appreciation OF the
fact that God is Love"
Pastor Sexton also pointed out two
Judgment days, corresponding TO the
two days Of salvation, arguing that il
there are two distinct periods of sal
walton. there must of necessity be two
separate days of judgment He showed
from the scriptures that if the saints
shall judge the world" Il Cor. 6:2)
then It is evident that the judgment
day Of the saints must precede the
day Of judgment of the world Con
tinuing he showed that while the
judgment Of the saints. those who are
really Christians, is now in progress
and has been for over $500 years. the
judgment Of the world must wait til
the church's Judgment is completed
The worlds judgment day, as the
Apostle Peter shows, is to be LOO

Confederate in Speech Gives
Credit of War to Yankees.
PICKETT'S SURVIVORS UNITE
Veterans of Famous Charge Retread
Ground Where Once They Marched
in Step With Death-Heat
Causes TWO Fatalities.

Gettysburg, Pa, July 3-While the
sun poured down a terrific blast of
heat. the armies of the north and
south began the formal exercises OF
the semi-centennial Of Gettysburg
Tuesday.
Veterans to the number Of $4,000
fled into the big tent set apart for
the exercises, sat in the haze of heat
for two hours and shook the camp
with their cheers when the speakers
made reference to a reunited nation.
Every seat under the canvas was
taken long before Secretary of War
Garrison and Governor Tener, the ora
tors of the day, arrived. Although the
men in gray were far outnumbered by
those In blue, there were possibly a
thousand southerners through the am
phitheater, and what they lacked in
numbers they made up in lung power.
When Governor Tener finished his
speech Gen. Bennett H. Young, com
mander-in-chief of the United Confed-
crate Veterans, rose slowly and bowed
to him
Il can give you something that no
one else can give YOU" he said. 1--WE

Nine famous Confederate generals

back in the camp toward Gettysburg.

Chief Beers, giving him three lusty
cheers and a tiger"
He took as his keynote the convic-
ton Of each side in the great struggle
that it fought for a principle, which
it believed was the truth. One of his
opening statements was that the north
ern soldiers deserved more credit than
the southerners for the PRONUNCIATION
and successful realization of the pres
ent great reunion, which he character
lied as the greatest movement of its
kind in the world
His speech captured the audience,
and he was overwhelmed by hand
shakes.
Before the morning exercises began
and after the veterans CHARTERED in
the big tent made their slim toilets,
the reunions of regiments and COM
panies and sQuadrons began. Confed-
crates who were in Pickett's charge
took keen delight in marching with
fife and drum to ,Spangler's woods,
where the columns Of Pickett formed
on July 3. 1868. to begin the charge
that marked the high tide of the lost

The fifth death reported in camp
was that of Christopher Yates. aged

who died as a result of heat prostra-
tion.
