GOODBYE TO CITY
Church Crowded for His Fare
Well-NeW York Divine
May Succeed Him.

The Central Methodist Episcopal
Church was filled to its capacity last
night when the Rev. Dr. William H.
Morgan preached his farewell ser
mon there. He took for his text, Il
seek not yours, but YOU" the same
text he used when he took the pulpit
OF the church sixteen years ago.
DR.. Morgan declared that the first
duty of clergyman was to admin
lister TO the character of his parish
toner's. No young man should enter
the ministry unless it was under di-
vine compulsion, he said. The
preacher then referred to the pleas
ant relations between himself and the
members of his congregation during
the long term he had served.
The choir rendered special pro-
gram of music, composed and dedi-
Gated to DIR. Morgan by Clarence
Williams, the choir leader.

Lodge, F. and A. NJ, of which DR..
Morgan is past master, attended the

FIREFIGHTERS CALLED
TO QUENCH DREAM BLAZE
IFrOm 8 stan Correspondence

TRENTON. ~ j., March 3D.
Slumber's sweet dream suddenly
turned into vision of fire reaching
forth its hand of destruction. ended
in the arrest of Arthur Pierpont, 81,
of Mulberry street. yesterday, when
he awoke. startled by his dream, and.
smelling smoke, caused by a small
lamp at his bedside, rushed to the
nearest tire-alarm and stood, clothed
in his garments of night, until the
arrival of the fire-fighters, who
quickly learned that their peaceful
repose had been disturbed by the
imaginative powers of the sleeper.
An early-morning walker unbur-
dened the secret of who pulled the
alarm TO Chief Bennett, who notified
the police, and within an hour Pier
pont felt the firm grip of the law and
was escorted to the police station,
where he expressed the greatest re-
greet for his unintentional disturbance
of the fire and police departments
and explained that he had tried. but
unsuccessfully. to Danish dreams of
fire from his sleep.

BY ]. CAMPBELL CORY

Special Cartoonist for the BSeDing Star.
OF William Jennings Bryan who
can phrase a sentence that has not
been already written? His name has
become a household byword, synony-
nous of defeat and victory--of fidi-
Guile and plaudit. The lneaments OF
his kindly face are almost as Wen
known to the average America
schoolboy as is the design oil the
stars and Stripes. He is the only
man in American history who has
been thrice defeated for the presi-
dency, and he has turned that very
fact into pecuniary and political
profit.
Like James G. Blaine and other
statesmen of an earlier day, Bryan
accepts the premier post in the cabi-
net after tremendous effort to secure
the higher honor of presidency Many
of his closest friends believe that, IN
accepting the state portfolio, he Is
lessening his dignity and reducing his
chances for another whirl at the big
thing" but Bryan naively explains
that, having personally formulated
and long fought for the policies upon
which Wilson has been elected, 1t is
his duty, as a patriot and states
man, TO do all in his power to help
guide the ship of state through the
channels which he has charted.
When he' became famous as great
orator in the Chicago convention, Mr..
Bryan was a poor and comparatively
obscure editor of a Western news
paper. Since then, though denied the
realization of his presidential ambi
ton, he has accumulated handsome

With the sale of effects from his
residence at 300 DeGraw avenue, For
est Hill tomorrow, DR.. Grenville M.
Weeks, soldier, painter and hero of
the famous Monitor, when it was
wrecked off Cape Hatteras in Decem-
Der, 1862, will go into retirement. The
old veteran, once complimented by
Lincoln for his bravery, will enter
a home for old soldiers, probably at
the end of this week.
The doctor has lived in the Forest
Hill section for the better part of his
life. Right after the war he bought
a thirty-eight-a tract from Peter
Cooper, founder of Cooper Institute
in New York, and on 1t built the
house he will leave tomorrow. He
went to Forest Hill from Bloomfield,
where he had aided in founding the
Bloomfield Christian Union, a nom
sectarian union, which he says was
the first of it's kind. He later be-
came president of the union.
Or. Weeks performed one of the
most heroic acts of the Civil War
The rescue of the crew of the sinking
Monitor was effected by lifeboats
from the Rhode Island. which had
the Monitor in tow and was bound
for Beaufort, NJ c. AS the last boat
load left the Monitor it went down in
the trough Of the waves, and on the
crest appeared another boat coming
from the steamer A crash was i'm
minent.
A clouded moon was shining and
Surgeon Weeks, of the rescued band,
realized that If the two boats met
head-on, all would be lost. SO he de-
cided to use his body as a fender,
and caught at the bow of the on
rushing boat to push 1t off. His right
arm was caught between the boats
and torn from the socket. He was
dragged forward, half over the side
of the boat, but his feet being gripped
tight under a seat, he managed to
jerk himself back into the boat.
Arriving alongside of the Rhode
Island, the men in the boat, on &C
count of the danger of approaching
nearer in the high seas running, had
TO climb up ropes depending from a
boom swung out over the side Of the
side wheeler.

HOW Taa ooNvIors eET DOPE.
Accidentally Discovered Concealed in
Embossed Picture Post Cards.

Ossining, N. Y, Jan. 21.--The ac-
cidental dropping of weight has
cleared up a, mystery which has been
puz2ling the wardens OF Sing Sing
prison from. the time of Warden Sage
down to John s. Kennedy, the incum-
bent.
The weight in question showed how
drugs like opium, morphine, cocaine,
in powder form, and other things get
to the convicts. The discovery will
be of benefit TO the wardens Of every
other prison of the State and to keep
ers OF city prisons like the Tombs in
New York. 1t has been shipped In
picture post cards. Further than
that, from Investigations already ad-
opted by Warden Kennedy, it appears
that as far as the New York supply
Is concerned one woman has been
the principal manufacturer, having a
large stock of drugged postals on
hand, which fact was known to the
friends Of men In prison who must
have drugs.
No one thought anything of it when
the postal card craze manifested it
self in the prison five or six years
ago, because the convicts keep pretty
well abreast of the times.
Some of the cards were movable,
the embossing being prominent and
large. The mail that arrived one
morning week or more ago contain
ed several score OF these cards and
all were taken to the proper official
to be examined, as Is the rule. The
man sat at his desk, the cards before
him. In some way or other, either
a weight or book dropped on one
Of the largest post cards in such a
manner that the edge of it struck on
the edge Of the embossing, cutting a
hole. To the surprise OF the man
at the desk, tiny speck OF white
dropped before him. He picked it
up. 1t looked like the segment OF a
small morphine pill. He took it to
the prison physician and such. it
proved to be.
The embossing was ripped loose
and the hollow space Of it was found
to be filled with more morphine pills,
goodly number of them half grain
in strength and concentrated.
An examination of every other
embossed postal card in the batch
showed that two-thirds of them had
some kind of drug in them, enough
to last fiend until the next postal
card was received.
