The entertainment is to be given for tho benefit of Companies 2 and 5. U. R., K. of 1., and tho English Zouaves. XXX The popularity of Sousa's band, even before it gained prestige abroad, was excellently demonstrated by tho fact that the engagement of that high-class musical organization two years ago practically saved the State Fair Association from a. deficit caused by extremely bad weather during the greater port of fair week.

In the Thackeray play, Mrs. Fiske Illustrates the highest type of comedy with episodical touches of gravity that hardly more than suggest her serious ability. In "Tess," however, her notional and tragic j powers are given play, and the contrast between the dramas is startling in this respect. Mrs. Fiske's engagement in this city will have to be played at the Park Theater and the date has been fixed for April 12 and iJ, with a matinee on the 13th. Benefit for Madame Jn tin tischek. NEW YORK, March 3.

Madame Janauschek Is now at Saratoga under medical care and seeking recovery from a paralytic stroke which be fell her some months ago In her residence in Brooklyn. On receiving that stroke she was taken by friends to private quarters in ono of the principal hospitals of Brook lyn and there receiveel careful treatment, which was followed by partial recovery. Tho Madame was then conveyed to Sara toga, where she now is, and there her con ditlon, though one of weakness. Is marked by the activity of her mental powers and bv her unabated Interest In her profession Her condition is one which appeals to the aid of the dramatic profession, of which she was so long a leading representative A benefit in her interest is being arranged in New York under the auspices of the Twelfth Night Club. That is an organlza tlon of the younger "members of the dramatic profession, and a committee of the younger members of their number has been appointed to tender to Madame Janauschek as a veteran and distinguished actress the benefit proposed.

LYNCH LAW DISCUSSED

lNniAN.vi'oMs MiMsrr.ns iti:rj:ii to ltEtE.Vr LAWLESS A CT. I VIctt Taken liy Ilev. J. CunuiiliiK Sinitb-Rev. It. S. Osgood' SermonOther Service. "A false view of God. I fear, gives birth to nine-tenths of crime," declared Rev. J. Cumrnlng Smith In his sermon at Taber nacle Presbyterian Church yesterday morn ing. Mr. Smith took as his text the introductory words of the Lord's prayer, "Our Father In heaven" and preached an in teresting discourse upon "The Right View of God." in accordance with his custom to touch upon some topic of current Interest each Sunday, Mr. Smith referred to mob violence yesterday morning. He said in substance: "It makes a vast difference whether you view Christianity as a watershed, a great divide from which all streams run away, or a river basin toward which all streams flow; as an autumn woodland, from which all fowls fly away, or a summer woods toward which the eager Hoc"ks converge in their flight. The one view belongs to pessimism or skepticism. Tho other view springs from a live faith that watches tho under movements of the world. Still even the optimistic faith must not bo blind to some tendencies to eiveruse and overstretch great truths to the hurt of men. This Is our modern peril. THE ARTESIAN WELL. "America is the artesian well, ever gushing with religious theories, and every sect has at least a grain of truth, and It is our part to sheathe the sword of savage attack and try to find out the best in each other's cree'ds so as to keep one another toward the final and complete truth. Tho controlling factor of modern high thought is tho fatherhood of God. We Americans are enamored of It. We are betrothed to It and have placed tho engagement ring on its finger, and wc are wie to be affianced to that doctrine. It is the first quest and the last goal of thought. But no man sees the real rainbow who sees but one color In tho arch. No one sees a mountain who sees but one canyon or summit on it, and no one has discovered tho all-sided fatherhood of God who is infatuated with some easy, one-sided phase of that divine philosophy. Hero lies our mildern, besetting sin. We forget that the Infinite love dies away like a new flashing star into ashy nothingness when it loses the element of rectitude. God never causes crime, but 1 fear a false view of God gives birth to nine-tenths of crime. If the theorist looks abroad upon the moaning world, he falls back on the divine paternity as a weary sitter on tho soft sofa back. If tho truant from good has a moment of remorse, he silences the verdict of his soul with tho doctrine of an overruling love. In a word, we pillow ourselves in every theory on eiod's tenderness and muffle His wrath and forget that we extinguish His love when we overcloud His righteousness. "The Lord's prayer is a perfect, orbal prayer. The opening sentence throws open every door and window of these silent heavens and reveals benevolence above us. ''Our Father,' and then every clause lays stress on the prime law of duty and purity and obedience as springing out of that infinite love toward us. I sometimes wish wo could shut our Bibles and close our speech and look for an hour into the calm heart of things, where God dwells. Is not our world in slow agony of travail to conceive righteousness? Isn't the essential struggle of things towards equalizing themselves? And can a mother love a child and smile at a child's deep, ineradicable taint? Or can a statesman love his country's laws who will wink at a mob rioting in the streets and burning a poor fiend without law? Or, for that matter, wink at law If its tardiness seems to shield crime? Does not love wrap up law as part of its own very self? THE WORD OF GOD. "And now open tho Word of God with IBs revelation from the world's great life and see how everywhere In that book, too, the God who loves men Is tho same who hates their sins; tho God who opens every door of heaven Is tho same God who shuts every door of heaven against every pollution as sternly as a city's authorities guard our resenolrs from every stream of sewage. We must rescue our religion from a taw dry, mawkish sentimentalism, especially in these days when men are apt to take the law in their own hands and politely lay God on the shelf; or, what is the same, men hold such falsely placid ideas of God that a man feels no check in a course of crime. So closely is heaven intertwined with our world's life that if you lower God you iower man Just as the state of the higher air can starve trie quails by locking up their food under Ic-. Tho cloun and quails are connected just as CkoUus and larks are. "The question whether tho far-reaching fatherhood of God does not involve the final extinction of all suffering everywhere is a question of useless speculation. The one certainty is a fatherhood of God that cannot tolerate sin anywhere and our duty Is to leave our sin behind us. Immediate cbedience i3 our present business; no matter what may transpire in remote cycle 3 of time. Let us be sure that there will bo lain so long as there is sin. and there will be sin just so long as the will of man does not yield to the loving will of God. Heaven In its last analysis Is joyous obedience. A BOYCOTT OF GOD. "Hell everywhere means a boycott of God, and we know this as we see both heaven and hell rooted deep in our actual world's life. Atheism, or even agnosticism. Is impossible on this ghastly fact. It any man doubts this, I can take him on one day's round among ncn and he will excialm, If I saw too much of this dark side of life I would reel in my mind.' "Either God is colorless because we are color blind in our moral distinctions In which event we would cashier Him off and set up a real God we could worship or He is the Infinite fatherhood, loving good and hating evil and finding It Impossible to rest till evil is cast out and good alone exists. "I am not overanxious about the distant issues in eternity. These are too far away when wo are struggling in the wreck's around us. It would be like a man crawling cut of a railroad wreck in Illinois stopping to speculate whether hundreds of miles further on the track a train is ditched in Nebraska or flung from dizzy verges m the Rocky mountains. Let us not speculate too audaciously; only God knows the time from terminal to terminal. Let us grapple with plain facts and hard sins now near Us and soothe hearts now dumb with woe." IlIIlLi: READING STATISTICS. Ilev. J. I). Pierson, Sccrctnry of the American Society. In llenrd. Rev. J. D. Pierson, of Cincinnati, field agent of the American Bible Society, gave an interesting talk to the mtmbeiw of the Central-avenue Methodist Church yesterday morning. He teok as his text the eighty-ninth verse of the ll'Jth Psalm, "Forever, O Lord, Thy word is settled in heaven." From this text Mr. Piersem proceeeled to show that the word of the Lord as expressed in the holy Bible has not perished from the earth, but Is on the increase in the extent of its circulation. "Men of the olden times." he said, "tried to do away with the word of God by burning the Bible and elest Toying it where ver found, and some men a-e at it still. In spite of this fact the word of God has Increased throughout the world, and is a permanent Institution among me n! while those who have maligned It have" parsed away ami are forgotten. The Bihlo has sustained mankind throughout tho centuries, and there is no doubt that it w;ll continue to do so throughout all time jo come. Somewhat over a century ago a man in France predicted that at the end of a hundred years the Biblo would ceaseto be read. Just think of it. During that time over 4' 0. . copies have been printd. a greater number than all the book contained in all of the libraries, public und privat-, in the whole United States. It has been estimated that there are at the present time in the libraries of the country nbout 1CUmA books, less than one-third the total number of Bibles In the world during the last century." Mr. Pierson then gave facts to show that most of these are printed by the

American and the IJritlsh Bible Societies. The American Bible Society has its headquarters In New York city, where about one and a half millions of Ribles are printed yearly. These- are sob' at cost, and range in quality from the k.'nd which sell at 17, e.-nts to those costing J. Burin,-,' the elghty-Mx years of the society's existence ixtv-ix million volumes have been printed, in one:hundred different languages, and distributed throughout all countries of the world. Thirty years ago there was hardly a copy of the Bible in all Italy; since that time th country has been floodtd with them by tho American and British societies. The Pope has accordlnaly U-en compelled to take up the work, and has offered a premium on the reading of the book in that country. The American society furnishes free copies to all public institutions, such as asylums, ttc, and also to soldiers and sailors. Every immigrant who lands on our soil is met by

an agent or the society and presented with a copy printed In his native language. The society has carried on a great work In China. During the last quarter century there have been more Bibles distributed In China than there were in existence at the beginning of the nineteenth century. There Is much evidence that the work in that country has had great influence. In a like manner the work has been carried forward In Mexico, tho South American countries. In Cuba, Porto Rico and tho Philippines, and its influence is always helpful for better things. The society undertaking this vast e-nterprise Is almost wholly dependent on voluntary subscriptions, and it was for the purpose of arousing interest and in securing an increased subscription list that Mr. Pierson talked. HEV. 11. C. MGSHIlVirS SERMON. He Dock .ot Relieve Thin I nn Age of Doubt. Yesterday morning, at Plymouth Church, the pastor. Rev. H. C. Meserve, preached on the subject "Is this an Age of Doubt?" He said: "You will not expect a categorical answer to my question, yet before 1 have concluded I hop to give one. with my reasons therefor. Tho eloubter lias never be'n. accorded his rightful place among men. He has b"en misundersUiod ami maligned. Ho has been regarded as a stumbling block in the march of human progress, and has been trcate-d accordingly. Yet the man with the Inmost eloubt has contributed not a little to right thinking, and therefore to right living. If men were to accept blindly and unquestioningly what men have believed, what a mass of errer would have been our inheritance in this age. Y'et because men in every age have questioneel and required the assent of reason to the propesitiens under consideration, much error that would have found a place in ur life has been shut out. That this position is correct we have to cemsider, first: That revelation Is not closeel. Jn the Incident of Thomas, the typical doubter, much maligned and commonly misunderstood, we recall that ho illd not deny, ho only waited for further proof. As any consistent man would have done, he wanted to believe, for did not the decision affect his whole life? "If Jesu! had not been able to accomplish all that He had promised, then all his service to the Master was in vain. So ho wanted tho proof .which was not long de nied him, ami when he hael put lorth his linger to the print of the nail and his hand to tho wounded side, he cried gladly 'My Lord and my God.' And the wonl of Jesus is not the rebuke it has so often seemed, for while He commends the soul who can accept without further proof. He eloes not elesplse the man who waits till reason gives her assent to tho purpose ef the he-art. So men should hold opinions not ferevr closed and filed away in the archives of the soul, but forever open to re ceive the further light that may and often does come. "Again: assent need not be along tho line of u formal declaration. The Newmans, John Henry, afterwards the cartlinal, and his brother. Francis William, began life together. But the one looking eut on the world and feeling the great problems too high for him, deposited his doubts in the bosom of the mother church, while his no less talented brother passed through all the religious phases to agnosticism. Whll I do not In the least iuestlon the honesty of the one, my sympathies are with the other who could pass em and on. ever unsatisfied, yet ever seeking tho light, which I can but think has elawned for him now. Each in his own way doubted, but kept, faith with himself. "It has been common enough to say that tho eloubter is the iconoclast. If he pull down one pillar from the temple of hope which the race has "reared, he Is rightly to be banned. But the lumest eloubter docs not lo this. For every pillar ho revmoves he places another more substantial, more beautiful, to bear witness what he has lived and wreiught. He does not destroy, he fulfills. Bringing to men the result of his ewn experience he contributes to the better living of humanity. "Is this an age of doubt? No. For. while we are called upon, by certain religious papers, to bemoan the departure of old faiths, would it not be more of the truth to call attention to t he rise of a larger faith than tho world has ever known? Shall we not, like Tennyson's friend, " 'lVrpJexed in faith, but pure in deeds, At last he beat his music out,' and so come to realize that " 'There lives more faith in honest eloubt. Believe me, than in half the creeds.' " Tim F.PISCOPAL CilL'UC'II. Rev. Lewi I! row ii Discusses Some Objection it. Rev. Lewis Brown delivered his first sermon of a series on the subject, "Popular Objections to tho Episcopal Church," at St. Paul's Episcopal Church last night, the subject for the evening being "Like the Catholics." Rev. Brown cited numerous cases whero the Episcopal Church Is unlike the Catholic belief. In part he said: "Upon the side of historic Christianity can bo named all churches believing la Christ, Including the Episcopal and Catholic churches. Reformation Christianity does nejt care for history. The Reformation Church wanted a new name and It chose one. One great phase of historic Christianity is the church to which we belong. People say they elo not like us because we are like the Catholics. The word Catholic represents a universal church. Many people think we are like the Catholics because they see outward appearances, such as the garments we wear, and for this reason believe we are like Catholics. The garments came down to us from the Jewish Church. Others think we are like Catholics because we use a l(turgy, and the third reason why wo are sometimes coupled with Catholics is because we believe in bishops, priests anel vestrymen. "Sometimes they think we are like Catholics because we have confirmation services, but the confirmation is found in the Biblo. Whet is it in Romanism this church stands against? We believe in both Testamentsbelieve In the Old Testament as Christ himself did, and believe in the New Testament a? the apostles preached it, and so this church, translating both revised versions of the Bible, says emphatically if wo stand upon the Bible we shall have. We believe in the Lord's supper and belle ve Christ is present during sacrament. This church does net believe in materialism or mechanisms. The church says that whenever we commune here we commune with Christ, and the articles used at the sacrament are not to be taken home and worshiped. "We differ with the Catholics in believing that Christ alone Is supreme, and we believe there Is no mediator who can take awav sins. Only Jesus Christ can liberate us from tho consequences of sin. This chureh believes absolutely in Jesus Christ, and it is God that forgives and not man. We must believe emphatically that tho Lord is supreme, and we stand against any conception that Christ can to other than the head of all. Again this church differs from the Roman Catholics in not worshiping saints. We do not believe in saint worship, although we observe stints' days. Wo keep worship for Jesus alone." AT .MERIIJIAV-STRHRT fill RCII. HtimlredN of Permm I nnhle to Henr the Rev. W. A. Qunyle. Meridian-street M. E. Church was last night creiwdeel to the exte-nt of its seating capacity and several hundred persons were turned away because of lack of seats. The pastor. Rev. William A. Quaylo. preached, and allhetugh his sermon, taken from the leve -nth chapter of St. John, the thirtyfifth verse. "Jesus wept." was unlike In many ways recent efforts, those composing the congregation showed great interest. The sermon was throughout an exposition or certain phases of human nature suggested by tho t xt and a study of the life cf Je'sus and an appeal to allow human nature to follow Its course so long as it does not run In evil directions. Beginning the Rev. Mr. Quaylo said: "Among my early recollections I will class ling taught that the scriptural passage I have read was the shortest verso, in the Bible. I think It is a grmt misfortune when a thing of no consequence usurps

,A fin

1 The soda the place of a thing of great consequence. A great deal of gold can be done up in a small ingett. Great fundamental truths arcin the Scripture's done up in a single word. This, one of the most tender, heart-rending passages, has been robbed of Its exquisite beauty because we were taught it was 'the shortest verse In the Bible.' " Tho story of the death of Lazarus and tho love of Jesus for him r.nd for Martha and Mary was then told at length in explanation of the statement that "Jesus wept." He continued: "Jesus did the natural thing. The glory of Jesus Christ was that He was of natural manhood. Christ sets us a pattern in this that He did the natural and proper thing and at the right time. Wo would have done as Jesus lid, let the heart speak. When it was time for weeping He wept. The old Romans did not weep. They were by training stolid and Indifferent. Anything that suppresses weeping is bad. What 1 appeal for here to-night Is that you have such conception of virtue as Jesus showed, and when the time for tears cemcs lct us not thrust them away. Do you know when to cry? 1 have known people that never knew when to quit crying always blubbering. When they feel gooel they cry; when they feel bad they cry, and then they cry simply to rest them up. 1 thank God that Jesus Christ came here long ago and that He set the world's fashion of weeping at tho right xtlme and laughing at the right time. 1 do not like stolid indifference4. I do not like anything that keeps men's lives or women's lives from the sweetest expression of the sweetest virtues. It is not recorded that Jesus Finlled. but I want you to know that He did. He laughed in His heart. He could not help it. He was normal. God will not forget us. He did not forget Lazarus. He loved him anel everything concerning him. He loves you. He has a heart tender for you. He knows you, each one of you. Jesus wept at Lazarus's grave. He remembereel Lazarus and all about him. He will not forget you. He will remember you; He will stand by your grave; He will stand by j-our trials, by your heartache, by you In your struggles and reach out His hand, so full of help, and bring you eleliverance. You never have to Invite Christ more than once to come. He always has time." CHRISTIAN SCICXCE. It Is Scvcrelj Criticised liy the Rev. 11. X. Hunter. At the Seventh Presbyterian Church, last night, Rev. R. V. Hunter gave a talk on "Christian Science," which is one of a series on kindred topics that he Is giving, the first being that of last Sunday night on "Spiritualism."- "Christian Science," Mr. Hunter asserted, "has many points of advantage over Spiritualism. There is more dignity and character among those who profess Christian Science than exists among the adherents of Spiritualism. The followers of this doctrine include some very estimable and worthy persons, and the whole plane of their conduct is superior, as a general thing, to that of the Spiritualists. But while their standard is undoubtedly higher it is also undoubtedly true that the revelations which they present are as equally unsound when viewed in the light of calm, dispassionate and scientific Investigation." At this point Mr. Hunter enumerated the authorities on Christian Science, and referred briefly to its origin and the growth which It has attained among the religious Institutions of the country. He then analyzed the most Important claims made in behalf of the doctrine by its chief exponents, and attempted to prove how utterly false they are in principle and reasoning. He also mentioned the fact that Mrs. Eddy, the woman In whose mind this novel science originated, has made a great deal of money by the publication of her books on the subject, and by giving lessons to students of the science. Mr. Hunter said that he questioneel the disinterested sincerity of a person who used such an idea to make money. While he asserted that he did not question the sincerity of many believers in the theory, he did not believe that the doctrine was in accord with the teachings of Christ, as told in t,he Bible or that it was cemducive to a higher moral life toward which men should strive. SALOOX SMASHING AM) LYNCHING. Itev. 11. S. 0;oh1 Relieve in Honent Law Enforcement. Rev. R. S. Osgood, pastor of the Mayflower Congregational Church, delivered a sermon, yesterday morning, on "Tho Curse of Carelessness." In the course of his talk he touched upon the saloon crusade in Kansas, and upon the lynching which occurred in this State last week. He said: "We can but admire the forms of Roman government in the time of Christ, before there was anything like mob violence. In those times they would think twice before they would act. It was then that no such thing as lynch law prevailed, and it almost makes us wish, as one of our representatives said, when he heard of the awful scenes which had occurred In this State last week, that wo lived under a military government.. When Christ was crucified, it was by the order of Pontius Pilate, and not by a mob of enraged people." In regard to the saloon crusade Mr. Osgood said: "It is by no means a Justitlcation of tho pitiable and alarming lawlessness of the saloon-smashing crusade in Kansas to say that it has all come about by the indifference of the Kansas officials. Those who are sworn to execute the laws of i State where saloons are outlawed are not the least disturbed to see the law violated openly. And 1 want to say that In our ewn State the way things hive existed the past week shows that something should be done to clean up th state of affairs. I do not criticise the State officials, but I do say there are a great muny Gallios In our community and that a treat many

4 NATIONAL BISCUIT ". . people are Indifferent to all spiritual feeling." ) RELIGION IN PHILIPPINES. a Rev. lt. II. Moire liefern to Them nn the "Noble Filipinos.' Rev. R. H. Moore, pastor of Madisonavenue Methodist Church, spoko last night on the "Philippine Question from a Missionary's Standpoint." He said this grave question, which the people- had been cc V slelering now for some time, had been gone over from every point of view except tho religious, which hael only been treated In a formal way. And yet in tho end this Would be the method In which the xiroblcra would be solveel. Mr. Moore said in part: "If these possessions have come to us without the planning of any political or military leaders, then it Is by God's will that we have them. The next question that confronts us is tho question, 'What are we to do with those people?' We must give them the best that we have, which we have not so far elone, for we have- given them over ono thousand saloons in the city of Manila. Neither Our laws nor our customs nor even our Constitution, which we all love, are the best things we can testow upon them. The greatest and best thing which we can give them is their religious freedom. The great est curse that has been upon these people is the religious intolerance with which they have been weighed elown. The revolt which these noble people have been carrying on was not against Spain, but against the friars and monks. The reason the United States has not conquered the Filipinos is that they think we will put this same restrain upon them. It now remains for all thoso who are Interested in the Christian religion to conie together and decide this question, which cannot bo solved by the politicians." WILLIAM DEHNE'S DEATH.
