Tho first services of its congregation ince the iüamantlinff of the First Presbyterian Church began were held In th-j assembly hall of the Ilitfh School building yesterday morning. The sermon preached by the Itev. M. L- Haines was also his first sdnce he returned from his vacation. Althoush the hall was not so commodious and convenient as tho church, there wa- a good attendance both at Sunday .chool and the morning service. The Rev. Mr. Haines ued for his subject "The Church of Today." taking his text from Kpheslans v, 23: "Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it." He said. In part: "The faces are familiar, but the surroundings of our worship this Sabbath day are strange. We ail knew week before last that we had lost our church home, but I venture to pay the realization of that loss has come to many of us this morning almost a. a shock, 't Is not without some pang of sincere regret, me h'-artache, thit w? pass out from the building that for more than a third of a century has been so closely associated with our worship. I confess that when yesterday I went down the streM and loolird upon tho stately old building and founü it already diverted of Its furnishings, thJ pulpit and pews and organ removed and the process of dismantling besrun I eould nt permit myself to linger Ions, but moved on, carrying within a pain of heart over the separation from the familiar sanctuary. We fdull not longer dwv water from the old wells. "How oCt.n It is that we do not clearly realUe w:iat our relationships In life to places, as weil as to persons, are to us until we lose them. What one says of a house that through years of varied experiences has bee jme a home is true of a church edifice. You may build more splendid habitations, fill your rooms with paintings and with sculptures you cannot buy with gold th obi associations. 1 pray (Jod that we may carry with us into our new home 11 enmbling and inspiring In our memories of the experiences of the years that are gone. As we bid farewell to the old church home and turn our faces away It seems as though a thousand recollections, tender and sacred, follow us. The past years rise before our minds In vision. There como back to us tho faces of friends we honored and the dear ones we loved, with whom we worshiped in that earthly sanctuary before (kd called them ono by one to the worship of a church triumphant. All these, memories and visIons somehow throng upon us now, remind us vividly how God causes the lines to fall to us as a people In pleasant places and gave to us Indeed a goodly heritage. A BUNDLE OF RELATIONSHIPS. "Hut while we have lost our church building, we have not lost our church. The real church, as we all know. Is not the edifice, but In the company of believing men and women Joined together In the sacred bonds of the gospel. Life is a bundle of relationships. The church is but one of those Institutional relationships which go to make up our life. We are as Americans In relation with the Nation, and we say that we do well from tim to time to remind ourselves of the privileges and responsibilities which ot:r national citizenship Involves. We are citizens in relation with a fair city, where the conditions of life as a whole-, in a material, and Intellectual, and social, and spiritual way, are equaled by but few cities in the land. We are. members of different organizations and societies In the realm of business, ami education, and philanthropy, and art, and social refreshment. Rut our associates in the institution of the church are in certain ways closer and richer than any of those I hae mentioned government, or city, or the literary and social organizations. Next to the divine institution of the family, the divine Institution of the church of God furnishes an association that ha. in it the largest and richest and most precious possibilities for our personal well being. That this is true will. I am confident, be made more char to us If we look at certain things which the church of to-dav, even in it imperfect form. Is iltted to do for us and docs do to a .decree for all, rich or poor educated or iKnorant, who make a right u-h of its privileges. We may doubt whether on this continent or In any land of the world a more impressive manifestation was ever made of the real hold th Christian churches have upon the hearts of men than was given last Thursday, when the wheels of trade, all throughout this Nation, stopped, when sanctuaries of all denominations were lilled with uncounted thousands of genuine worshipers, bowed in mingled reverence and sorrow before the God and Father of our land, and yet seeking in every sorrow to rise up Into the spirit of the martyred President and to say. as he said, with resignation 'His will, not ours, be done.' It is such times of crises that the value of religion and the institutions of religion come perhaps more clearly to revealment. "We have special ieason to value the church aj because. In a way superior to 11 other" Institutions of earth, it is constituted to bring us into fraternal fellowship with all our fellow-men the world around. Through Its worship the church is constituted to bring us into fellowship with God ubove. us. Through the truth it mfihaslzes most it is constituted to bring us nto relations of brotherhood with our fellow-Immortal", for the church teaches that all men are the children of the one ii the I'ather, and that all have sinne.) .uid that all who will receive It are included in the redemption provided by the world's Redeemer."

ROLE OF A DETECTIVE

aki: it v atthm:v ;i:m:hal in ki:itii mihdi'.ii c am:. Mr. Tnjlor Ciivlnu Tvro Dnjs to Mudy of Locality In Which Xurn Kifer Wan Killed. STATE'S STORY AND THEORY C ' 1 1 1 C I M S T A N T I A L niiSCKIPTION OF A MYSTKIUOl S CHIMi:. How Joeph Keith Im Suppose! to IIa tp Hid Himself of n Troublenome C.Irl. Attorney General Taylor went to Evansville yesterday morning to spend two days studying the locality Involved in the famous Keith murder case, which is pending In the Supreme Court. The practice of attorney in lower courts going over the ground in dispute in a case about to be tried Is common enough. For the attorney general of a, State, however, to traverse the territory concerned in a murder Is uncommon. As a rule, when a case Is appealed to the higher court, the record is presumed to furnish sufficient basis for any argument that may be made to or brief that may be filed In the court. The attorney general regards the Keith case as one of exceptional importance, however, and does not mean to leave any stone unturned that might lead to the adequate punishment of the man who committed what Is regarded as one of the most brutal crimes in the annals of Indiana criminology. Another feature that adds importance to the Keith case is that before It no capital case had been appealed to the Supreme CoiAt of Indiana for at least a decade. The brief of the State has been prepared by Mr. Taylor, assisted by his deputy, Cassius C. lladley, and It is now in the hands of the printer. It will be tiled In the office of the clerk of the Supreme Court this week. It Is an exceedingly voluminous document, containing about Ijo printed pages. The brief sets forth an abstract of tho evidence, a statement of the points to be argued and the argument of the case. Two parts of this document that are of special interest are those which furnish the story of the tragedy and the State's theory of the case. The story of the tragedy, as written by Mr. Iladley, Is as follows: "In the afternoon of April 3, 1j, about 4 o'clock. Nora Kifer (the victim) arrayed herself in her best finery. She clothed herself in a pink silk shirtwaist, a black satin dress skirt and slippers with two Instep straps; told her mother she was going to F.lberteld to a spelling match, and started jut the lane leading to the towpath and the Elberfeld road. She stopped at a neighbor's on her way to the canal and stayed about an hour. She went on and down the towpath. She was observed by three persons on the towpath a short distance from the bridge. She was seen to enter upon the bridge Just at dusk, stop there a while, and then step off the west end of the bridge and disappear. This was the last time she was seen alive. "On the morning of the 23d of May. 1900. some farmers passing over Stevens's bridge observed a human body In the water. A boat was procured and the body drawn ashore. The body showed signs of decomposition, and clearly Indicated that it had been submerged in water a great while. All the hair had gone from the body and th skull was crushed to fragments. The coroner was notified. Zachariah Kifer heard of the finding of the body, and he, with some of his neighbors and kinsmen, went to Evansville and positively identified the remains as those of his daughter. Nora Kifer. On the 2Tth day of May. 1900. appellant (Joseph D. Keith) was arrested for the crime." THE STATE'S THEORY. It would not have been necessary for the State to formulate a theory of the case had the evidence been direct Instead of circumstantial. Rut the murderer took care to kill Nora Kifer at a time and place when he felt certain no human eye would witness the crime. Hence the State, In order to convict Keith, must show that all the known circumstances of the case indicate beyond a reasonable doubt that he killed the young woman. The State's theory of the Keith case as set torth in the printed brief is as follows: "The theory of the State was that a criminal liaison had existed between deceased and appellant since some time in the fall of 1SW; that deceased had extorted money from him from time to time. She was not discreet, and talked of her Intimacy among her friends In tne neighborhood. It became current gossip. It reached the ears of appellant's wife and caused trouble In tho family. As the spring of ltWO approached her demands became more Importunate, she threatened him with suit for seduction or bastardy, and his fears of exposure correspondingly increased. He was torn and distressed by the conflicting emotions of fear of exposure and his determination not to accede to her demands for more money. She returned to her home from Evansville on March .11, after a somewhat sensational refusal to marry a Mr. Clark in Evansville. Keith thought this a culmination of his troubles, and he determined to In some way put an end to It all. He wrote a note and sent It to her by his son Jesse, in which he asked her to meet him at the bridge at dark. "She went to the bridge, and he met her there, prepared to commit his hellish deed. He decoyed her Into the thick woods along the canal leank near the old well. There he beat her head Into a pulp with an old clawhammer, tied a rope to her neck, which was fastened to a thirteen-pound stone, took off her dress-skirt, her hat and her slippers and cast her body Into the old well, together with the hammer. He. took the clothing he had taken from her and started toward his clearing, where he had log heaps burning. On his way he unconsciously dropped the slippers. The remainder of the apparel he burned in one of his log heaps. The body remained In the old well completely submerged until the night of May 22, when the talk of the neighborhood became so'persistent and the determination of the father to search the surrounding country so strong that Keith became alarmed and determined to remove the body to a place remote from the neighborhood and where, if found, its presence could be more readily accounted for without connecting him with it. "Pigeon creek was a deep. sluggish stream. Stevens's bridge over it was in a secluded spot and near Evansville, where she frequented. So, on the evening of the 22d. he drove his buRgy down the Elberfeld road, across the canal bridge to the old wagon trail, down this trail to near the canal ami also near the old well. With a pair of grappling hooks of his own make he tished out the body, placed It with the stone in his buggy, threw the grappling hooks Into the weil and made a wild drive over the Elberfeld road, through Gabtown. through TVIcCutcheonsvllle, over the Oakhill road, to Stevens's bridge. There he threw the body from the bridge into the water below. In the darkness he could not tdl whether the body was completely submerged, so lie determined to drive on into Evansville. remain over night and return there early the next morning and satisfy himself as to this fact. Returning early the next morning, he discovered that the body was not completely covered by the water, but he could not remedy this mischance, i.nd came on home and proceeded to remove all traces of the night's exploit. He washed the carpet and painted his hiitfgy. and felt that he was secure from th- avalanche." THE GROI'ND COVERED. When Mr. Taylor returns to Indianapolis to-nii?ht he will have visited the homes of Joseph I). Keith and Zachariah Kifer in Warriek county; traversed the oid wago'i load In the woods until he reached the obi vtll near the bridge that span the YVuhash & Erb' canal alnrut two and one-half miks east of Klberfleld; tlen proceeded along the wagon road northwest to the Elberfeld road; west and southwest to the Petersburg road; thence, he reached thStevens bridge, about u mile ana a hal from Evansville. This bridge Is the out

over which the bodv of Nora Kifer Is believed to have been cast by Keith Into Pigeon creek, where it was afterwards fx unci. Deputy Attorney General Iladley traversed about two weeks ago tne same route over which his chief Is' now going. The result will be that on Oct. 2. when the Keith case is argued orally before t tie judges of the Supreme Court, the attormy general and his deputy will be thoroughly lamlliar with the location of every place mentioned by the attorneys for Keith. Concerning the advantage of this knowledge in a case like the Keith case Mr. Iladley said: "The iKst way to get a thorough understanding of a murder case founded on circumstantial evidence Is to acquaint one s self with the geography of the case. In such a case circumstances do not mean much if you do not know the localities, if you do not have them fixed accurately in 'your mind. Eor Instance, if n person testifies that a certain thing happened at a certain place at a certain time, if you do not know the location of the place, the testimony would not have much effect on you And you cannot get the geography of the locality in mind except bv looking at it with your own eyes." Interest in the Keith case is revived by the fact that the date of his excution is drawing close. Cnhss the Supreme Court Reverses the Judgment of death, the murderer will pay the penalty in the State Prison on the 17th of November. little more than a month after the oral argument.

BISHOP TALKS OF CHINA REV. F. II. CRAVES. OF SHANGHAI, IGCHIIli:s IIIS WOItiv. Chine SttidentM Intenur Thirst for Knowledge Open the AVny for Chrlfttiiiii Tendier. The services In Grace Cathedral yesterday morning were of more than ordinary interest on account of the presence of Rishop F. R. Graves, of the Episcopal missionary diocese of Shanghai and the lower valley of the Yang-tse river in China. After the usual musical and ritualistic service Bishop Graves delivered an entertaining, instructive talk upon missionary work in his diocese, to which he will return in December. The bishop Is yet far from middle age, In physical appearance at least, Is possessed of a powerful frame and speaks in the manner that so readily gains a close hearing. He said at the outset of his talk that stories about China as a rule resemble the tales related in "Alice In Wonderland" they are hard to believe. lie granted that It is not surprising that even converted Christian people should feel a lack of interest in missionary werk if it seems to them far off and unreal. "Rut in these latter days," said the bishop, "people can get a great deal better information than they once could. If they would only go to the secretaries of church mission boards and ask for literature on the subject they would be better Informed." The bishop said that the diocese over which he presides includes the most populous part of China, which is along the banks of the great Yang-tse river, a stream that compares with the Mississippi in this country. The diocese extends through two and parts of three other provinces, and one of the principal stations is In Shanghai. The speaker said the diocese contains a population of 75,O00.OiX more than that of the United States and this mass of people occupy an area of territory equal In size to the States of Pennsylvania, North Dakota and North Carolina. The bishop said that it might strike his hearers as strange that there are only Con) Christian natives in this great population, and that only 1.10J of these are communicants, but he impressed upon them the fact that only those converts who take communion at least once a year are counted. CHINESE: UNTIRING STUDENTS. The speaker said that missionaries do not follow usual methods in trying to convert tho Chinese. They simply pursue the plan that is pursued in gaining any class of people to one's way of thinking, that Is, they endeavor to win the confidence of the people. This is accomplished by three great agencies the educational, medical and religious. The Chinese, said the bishop, are indefatigable seekers after knowledge, therefore they welcome the efforts of the missionaries to gratify their longing. The great difficulty the teachers In St. John's College experience is in persuading the native students to extinguish their lights at night and retire to rest. They are up almost at sunrise, ready for the day's work. Tho bishop had much to say about the value of the medical feature of mission work in China. lie said that over there persons alilicted with unpleasant diseases and hideous deformities are to be seen In the public thoroughfares. Instead of being comfortably housed in well-directed hospitals and Sanatoriums as in this country. Medical skill is sadly lacking in the Chinese empire, said the speaker, and people often go blind from trivial causes for the reason that the physicians do not understand the first principles of optical surgery. The students In missionary colleges are by no means all charity students, declared the bishop. Many of them pay $10 a month for tuition, which will be seen to be a considerable amount when It is stated that a Chinese laborer frequently supports himself and family on $3 a month. The bishop said that the missionaries do r.ot attack the native religious belief or customs. They never baptize a young Chinaman until he has obtained his father's consent, since filial piety Is one of the most sacred traditions in the country. The speaker said that only about one-third of the students of St. John's College are sons of Christians and two-thirds of them are heathens, as a rule, but most of these become Christians before they complete the course of Instruction. "These bovs are all filling good places and doing good werk." said the bishop. "They are the only patriotic Chinese, the onlv Chinese that seem to care whether their country is going to be preserved or destroved." FAITHFUL TO THE CHURCH. The speaker said that church services are better attended in China than in this country, and this remark caused a slight feeling of discomfort to pass over the rather slender congregation before him as they glanced about at the scores of empty seats. "We have several churches in our diocese," he said, "that hold a great many moro than the average church here. I suppose our Bangkok church would seat eiht hundred p ople, and often we have It filled. The church at St. John's will hold something over three hundred, and on Sundays there is not a vacant seat, and you would find, if you went there to-day, that they carry on worship in the true manner. The prayers, the hymns and the sermons are in Chinese, but the worship is In the same spirit as It is carried on here." Bishop Graves concluded his address as follows: "Christianity is a power that is transforming the lives of the Chinese. The marvel of it. the mystery of it. is that the laith of Jesus Christ takes these people out of their poverty, out of their Ignorance and out of their degradation and makes humble, reverent, believing Christians out of them, men who try to live a higher life, men who succeed in a large measure In leading a higher life. That is the wonder ot it; that is the great evidence for you here of Christianity. If you say you do not believe in foreign missions you simpiy sty you do not believe in Christianity, at all. for the evidence of Christianity is not written down in books. The only evidence that is worth anything to you. to me, today is the evidence that Christianity can live and propagate itself and spread beyond a country like this into countries that are utterly different In their ways of living, manners and customs, and take hold of people of that sort and remake and transform and elevate them." Bishop Graves continued hl interesting talk about missionary work in the pulpit of St. Paul's Church last night. Illg Fonr Swltehmaster Hart. W. R. Ray. switchmaster in th?

RUSSIAN CONSUL HERE

I1AIIOX SCIULPPE.MIACII. AVIIO IS STATIONED AT CHICAGO. Left City Lnst Mclit After TrnnsnctiiiK HtislnesM "Of No Public Interest. HIS COUNTRY AND ANARCHY PLOTTING AGAINST G0VGRN3II:NT RESULTS IX DEPORTATION. Xntioim 3Iut Iliuul Together to Sup. press Criminal Doctrine Hu. hIhii Socliilisin. Baron Schlippenbach, consul of Russia at Chicago, has been in the city the last two days transacting business relating to the consulate. His jurisdiction is over twenty-two States. Ills mission here, he said, was of minor importance and of no public Interest. While in the city he has been stopping at the Columbia Club, and last night he was entertained by John I... Griffiths at the University Club. lie left at midnight for Chicago. The baron has been in the United States seven years and has taken much interest ia the affairs of this country. He spoke feelingly of the recent assassination of President McKinley and deplored the anarchistic movement against this government. In Russia, he said, the government does all in Its power to suppress anarchy. The propaganda of the doctrine Is not allowed by speech or literature and meetings for such purposes are prohibited. "How is this movement suppressed?" he was asked. "The movement is closely watched," he said, "and the offense of speaking or plotting against the government is punishable by tleportation to some distant part of Russia. When a crime is committed as a result of any anarchistic movement the punishment is the same as any other and according to law. If murder results it is punishable by death." "What measures are used to cesor the press?" "The editor of a newspaper is the censor and he assumes the responsibility for everything that Is printed In his paper. If he commits an offense against the government by publication he is warned. For the second offense he Is allowed to sell his papers only by subscription. For the third offense his paper Is suppressed and It can never be published again." "Is socialism a factor In Russian politics?" "No. The socialist movement In Russia Is different from that in Germany and this country. There is very little distinction between the Socialists of Russia and Anarchists, and the Socialists are not lawabiding citizens as they are elsewhere. The word has an entirely different meaning in Russia. The Socialists and Anarchists of Russia want no law, they are against the government. In fact, they do not know what they want and ere nothing but little bands of criminals that must be held in check." PROBLEM OF SUPPRESSION. "How do you think anarchism can be suppressed?" "It can only be dono by all nations Joining hand in hand and working together and by the enactment of extradition laws. The Anarchists when they escape from Russia come to the United States, or go to England or Switzerland, where they have free speech and breed the doctrine. We can do nothing to stop this. They go to other countries and hatch out their plots and schemes and carry them out in European countries. In fact, the United States. Kngland and Switzerland have been refuges for Anarchists and they have tlocked to these countries to voice their discontent and doctrine. You will find that the assassinations of nearly all of the European rulers were planned in other cöuntrles and the assassination of King Humbert was planned here In the United States. The assassination of your President is certainly a result of this breeding of anarchy. "One of the greatest barriers to the Russian government in suppressing this element is that there is no law for the extradition of political prisoners. A man may commit a crime in Russia and escape to another country, say that he Is a political prisoner and is wanted at home for political oifene, and he cannot be removed. Recently, we had a case of this kind in Canada. A man, who was a forger, escaped to Canada, and when arrested there told the judge that he was a political prisoner and he could not be extradited. I think there should bo a law of extradition so that these escaped criminals and prisoners might be returned to their native government for a trial. They would be given a trial before a court with an attorney to defend them the same as in this country, and I believe they would be treated as Justly." "Do you regard the recent uprising of the students in Russia as menacing the government?" "Those were merely local troubles and nothing more. The young men may become dissatisfied because of some rigid rule or something of that sort and enlarge on jjl minor grievance until it assumes big proportions. Those uprisings mean nothing and are soon forgotten. They have been periodical and when the students become mature In years they see the foolishness of their way snd become good citizens. I was a student myself and know how these things are apt to start and magnify and grow In proportion over nothing." The baron said the Anarchist movement In Russia is not of a serious character and that the government does not fear any general spread of the doctrine, although it employs all possible means to suppress It. He said he thought that since the assassination of President McKinley the countries that have allowed the propaganda of anarchism to go on will now adopt laws tending to suppress It. TRAMP DOG'S GRATITUDE. It Protected ft YVoinnn from n 3Ian That Tried tf Stop Her. "I did not formerly believe that dogs possess an instinct by which they can read character in human beings remarked an Indianapolis woman, "but now I am positive it is true. I had an experience last night that was equivalent to a demonstration. "A few days ago a long. lank, yellow dog, about three feet high, of decidedly unprepossessing appearance except for its benevolent face, came to our house, and, finding me standing in the kitchen door, began to wag his tail earnestly and to look Into my face with a gaze that contained an unmistakable appeal for something to eat. Of course. 1 could not resist the plea of a dumb brute that was hungry. What woman an? When the creature had eaten to its heart's, or rather it's stomach's, content it walked out of the door just as a gentle manly tramp might have done. Later in the same day the dog came back for a drink. Then I did not see it any mere until last night, when I had occasion to go up town at a rather late hour. I had hardly gone a few 1W t from my house tiefore i heard th delieite patter of animal lect back of me. looking around, I saw my four-footed pensioner of a few days before, still w.iftping his tail, but this time looking at me with only gratitude and kindly feeling in his face. I was not pirticularly writ pleased at btlng followed through the public streets by such a sorrylooking creiturc. but when I told the dog to go back he gentlv refused to obey. "Wien I had accomplished the purpose, of my errand and turned to retrace my steps homeward the dog was there to aceompany im. Just as we were turning off the Circle into one of the principal streets a man stepped rudely into my pathway and grinned at me. Quick as a flash the dog sprang in front of me, and. curling tds lips, began to growl in a moft terrifying wav. saying. In a manner a intelligible

as if he had employed human utterance, 'I guers you had tetter clear out of here at once.' "The man lost little time In retreating to the dark corner trom which he hid come, anil the rest of the way home, you may be very sure. I paid a great deal of attention to my humble protector. Yes. 1 am quite sure dogs know wtun a man is r.ot the right sort, or at least they comprehend the meaning of a threatening gesture or attitude. That dog is always certain of a square meal whenever he sees fit to present himself at the door of our home."

BLACKLEG IN LIVE STOCK. An Infectious anil Fittal Disease Vaccination Recommended. Prof. R. A. Craig, of the agricultural experiment station at Purdue University and assistant State veterinarian, says that "while blackleg is a disease that has been known for a long time and vaccination for its prevention has been practiced for several years, this means is not generally known here. The disease was formerly of much more frequent occurrence than at the present time, but there still remain centers of infection that cause the loss of many dollars' worth of stock each year. The disease is infectious, but not contagious; that is, the germs live on the plants on which the animals feed or In the water they tlrink and thus gain entrance into the body, but they are not conveyed from one animal to another by merely coming close together. The germs are usually found on the grasses growing upon low, rich land. The spore or seed ef the germ is very hardy and may be dried in the making of hay and produce the trouble when it Is fed in the winter. Most cases occur in summer and fall. "The symptoms are sudden onset with high fever, difficult breathing, stiffness, lameness, colicky pains, loss of appetite and great depression. Swellings occur upon the body, about the thighs, chest, neck or shoulder, and these have a peculiar crackle when pressed upon by the finger. They are filled with gas. The course of the disease is very rapid, only lasting from a few hours to a few das. Young, well-kept cattle from four months to two years' old are the favorite subjects, although older cattle may be attacked. Very few recover and treatment is useless in the majority of cases. Every animal dying of the disease should be burned. "On farms where cases occasionally occur It is advisable to vaccinate. The vaccine may be obtained from several reliable firms and its use has passed beyond all experimental stages so that it may be relied upon to greatly diminish the loss. It is easily applied." ASHAMED OF HIS DOGS SI LTAX OF TURKEY HID THEM FR03I GER3IAX i:3IPEHOIt. 3Iis Flora Fcnslinm Describe in ntantinople and American College for Girls. Miss Flora Fensham, dean of the American College for Girls In Constantinople, and a missionary for twenty years, lectured at Mayflower Congregational Church yesterday afternoon on "The Advantages of the American School in Constantinople." In part she said: "Constantinople is the Queen City of the world on account of its beautiful approaches and its geographical position. The favorite way of reaching the city Is by the sea and according to the law of Turkey no ship is allowed to enter the harbor after sundown. The ships anchor outside the harbor, and early the next morning they steam toward the city enveloped in a veil of mist that is impenetrable to the eye. After the sun rises the mist passes away and ahead lies beautiful Constantinople. "After landing In the city one Is Impressed with the large number of dogs in the streets. The canines possess a peculiar character and are the scavangers of the city, the Turks depending on them to keep the streets clean. They sleep during the day and bark at night. The Sultan is not proud of the dogs and when the German Emperor paid a visit to Constantinople the Sultan had the dogs all gathered from the streets and taken to a park until the Emperor left. "In the Turkish part of the city is the mosque, now under the control of the Turks, and formerly controlled by Christians. The Turks are very proud of the mosque because of its grand architecture, but in many places can be seen Christian crosses. There are many legends concerning the mosque and the Turks claim the doors are from Noah's ark. In the mosque is a marble pillar that many people with afflicted eyes visit as there Is the superstltlonv that to touch the pillar will cure. There is a hole worn in the pillar by the thousands of persons who have touched their fingers to It. "Our college Is located In Constantinople and when Inside Its walls you would be as much at home as in America, for English Is spoken altogether. This college has a faculty of seven American professors and twenty-five instructors. There are 170 students representing fifteen nationalities. They all learn English readily as the Eastern people are natural linguists. After the girls have been In college two months they are told to speak nothing but English during the forenoon and In a few months more they are told to speak English or keep still during the entire day. By the end of the first year they become quite proficient in English. The students also study French and German besides their own language ancient and modern. The girls are given a thorough education and also a Christian education. Careful attention is paid to their athletic training. The girls are devoted to their study and nearly all of them become members of the Bible class, which Is voluntary. "There is a benevolent society in the college that meets once a week and there is also a missionary deparement. In the latter they raise about $120 a year and not long ago the students became greatly Interested in the slums in New York and sent half of their funds to New York for missionary work and the other half to the interior of Turkey. The graduates of the school do great work and most of them become Christians. The Sultan outwardly loves u but inwardly is trying to destroy us. as he realizes that Christian faith will eventually destroy Mohammedanism. Some of our text-books have been condemned bv the Sultan because they have made alleged scurrilous re larks about the Turks." SAVED BY A DREAM. IntereMInK Incident In the I-ate IHshon Whipple's Life. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 21. Hector Baxter, of St. Mark's Episcopal Church, contributes an anecdote of Bishop Whipple, which the latter related not long before his death. Cornelia Whipple, the bishop's first wife, believed in dreams. She was a woman who seldom dreamed, but when she did, the dream invariably came true. On a Sunday morning in October, at Faribault, many years ago, she aroused the bishop and told him that her son. who was living in New Mexico, was dying. She had seen him in a dream and there could be no mistake about It. She described him as he lay on a hard bed in a miserable adobe hut and declared that his serious condition was due to inattention. She urged the bishop to proceed without delay to New Mexico and rescue the boy. A few hours later Bishop Whipple, obedient to his wife's wishes, was flying southward as fast as steam could take him. When he reached St. Louis he found a telegram awaiting him from his wife, it read: "Proceed without delay to New Mexico. Don't waste any time; every moment is precious." He followed directions to the? letter and reached his stepson's side just in time. The scene was Just as Mrs. Whipple had described it. The bov was sick unto death on a pallet of straw In an adobe hut. What medical attention he had received was doing him more harm than good. It was apparent that he could scarcely survive another day in such surroundings. Birhop Whipple had Wt in such a hurry that he had neglected to bring any more money than he needed for his tare and traveling expenses. In his dilemma he went to the bank and told his story to the cashier a manly young Mexican. He needed money to Ret his son out of the country; would the bank honor a draft? The cashier was impr essed with the bishop's recital. "Any one could tell by looking at your face." said he. "that you were a bishop of the church of God. and that you speak the truth. I will be glad to" accommodate you. How much money do ou want?" The bishop drew on the bank for JioO, and he and tne sick man were soon on the way north. The mother's dream saved the boy's life, and the loan was re-

To those who never spoke or thought evil of him, their omission of malevolence and their superiority to wrongful measurement constitute a great comfort In these awful hours. To those who unintentionally misinterpreted him the disclosure which death has made of his worth and work and the revelation of heroic gentleness, signalized by his conduct In the exchange of worlds, afford opportunity to-day for a ratification of estimates which carries the justice of the mind and the reparation of the heart well-nigh to tho nublime. Those who maligned him can be forgotten or forgiven. He forgave them, and he remembered them only in the prayers on which his serene soul ascended into the waiting and welcoming heavens. Calls Them Soft Namen. Kansas City Journal. Many soft names have been applied to young women since there were young women. But a Braymer minister has hit upon about the nicest term which could be applied to them. He has been having a great deal of trouble with them on account of their propensity to disturb his religious meetings. Instead of reproving them as a layman might do and applying stern measures, he calls them down. 91.2. Cincinnati and Ileturn $1.2.". Via C, II. fc D., Sunday. Sept. 20.
