PATTERSON, N. j., April 23.-"Billy"
sunday has two new ideas this morning,
o,e sartorial and the other pictorial One
hasn't a thing to do with evangelism; the
other has, one is somebody elses idea.
The other is "Bllly's" own conception.
The sartoria idea, which originated in
the Chamber of Commerce of this city
md whiah "Rllly" has adopted, Is that
men all over the United states should
wear shimmery silk suits in the summer
time. Billy" is going to do It and set
the fashion, thus out Bryaning" William
Jennings b. and his well-known alpaca.
Since BILLY" is going in for silk suits,
Paterson has decided TO supply his ward
robe for the remaining summers of his
life IL is suggested that the wardrobe
shall include a black silk cutaway,
black silk evening coat, a black silk
prince Albert, a half-dozen black and
bue and brown and mauve silk sack
suits, and blue silk pajamas. He will
appear in one of the silk suits a a silk
suit luncheon" to be given here in May
by the Chamber of Commerce. That is, II
ma" will let him. MA" says that
"Billy" has two faults-temper and
clothes. Billy" always is togged UP to
the minute.
THE PICTORIAL IDEA.
"why. Mr.. Sunday" says trainer. ex-
pusilist and assistant evangelist Jack
Cardiff. Mr. Sunday, he won't put on
trousers that aren't creased sharp enough
TO cut you, he won't"
"Billy's" pictorial idea opens UP new
fields in evangelism. He wants to see
salvation flared forth by electric lights
on Broadway or Chestnut street
I'D like" said he, between mouthfus
Of sliced oranges, ito see salvation put
on AS successful a basis as modern busi-
ness and politics. There is no reason
why the man riding from New York to
Philadelphia shouldn't see big sign Be
sure your sins will find you out and a
little further on another sign If we con-
fess our sins, Christ will forgive our
transgresslons.' Although despite pow
erty in the convert line, BILLY" was
pleased last night when he learned that
only 81, 1853 was needed in the tin pan col
lection before the $4,000 expenses of the
campaign will be met His temper got
the better of him when the meeting was
interrupted by fainting woman.
He stopped short in the very middle of
a vehement sentence, grabbed his Bible
and flung himself into his chair.
Good heavens" he exclaimed, 'if
you'd get as excited about people going
to the devil as you do about a sick wo-
man you might be OF some use in bring
ing souls to the Kingdom of God" A
number of ministers appeared to be
shocked. When 1t came to the call for
converts BILLY" got after them with a
whats the mater with you preachers? +?
Get down off the platform and help some
body to Christ. If you don't, I'll have to
declare your seats vacant" He looked
as though he meant 1t.
PHILADELPHIA GIRLS TO ATTEND.
Everything Is in readiness for Mothers
Day. tomorrow The 100 young women
coming to Paterson from Philadelphia
will play big part in It,
The Philadelphia girls will attend ser
vices conducted by Miss Miller tomor-
row at the Church of the Redeemer
They will go to the tabernacle on Sunday
afternoon. They will hear Miss Miller
again at the 5th Regiment Armory. On
Sunday night they will be in Miss Gam
Inns audience at the Regent Theatre.
BILLY" will preach on Devils Boom
erangs, or Hot Cakes Off the Griddle,"
to men on Sunday. He has been invited
TO address the prisoners at the county
Jail and he is thinking about addressing
the convcts at Sing Sing.
In all probability Billy will not visit
Philadelphia during his Paterson revival.
He is too tired, he said to do 1t. We're
through with Philadelphia" said MA"
land I don't think 1t would be right for
Mr.. Sunday to preach in one church
there when so many churches were in
terested in the campaign"
The church in which BILLY" was asked
to speak in Philadelphia was one in which
John Wanamaker is interested.
Billy is a Rotarian, and will address
the Rotary Club, of this city, today.
Opponents of the campaign are laugh
ing today over the arrest of one of the
young women who was Sentenced" by
Recorder Carroll to "one tabernacle serv-
i've" The woman is under arrest again.
When she was taken in by an officer, she
had, according to local papers, "a frank
furter in one hand and hymn book in
the other, and in the hymn book was
written, Sadie Cunningham, saved April
