in mum Landing of the Tenth Pennsylvania at San Francisco and March to the Presidio. _ ; j IKY’RE 1 STURDY LOT OF IEALTIY HER Amid All the Glad Aeclnliaa Along , the Line of March Theire w« • I Spirit of Sndneea, Becaime Their j Beloved Coloael Lay Enshrouded j la Hla Coffin. »i San Francisco, Aug. 4.—At 9 a. m. the Pennsylvania troops disembarked, marched to the Presidio reservation, where the soldiers went into camp, preparatory to mustering out. A Warn Reception. # The reception accorded the soldiers from the Keystone state was similar to that given the Oregon, Nebraska and Utah boys, who had preceded them home. Thousands upon thousands of people lined the streets through which the boys were to pass. The usual medley of steam whistles, cannon and fireworks accompanied them all through the business section of the city. Packed Thoroughfare*.

Lower Market street was packed -with people, and as the parade swung Into that thoroughfare, a mighty ■cheer went up and was carried all the up the street and repeated. Flags -waved constantly as the soldiers marched between the lines of spectators, and it seemed as if every piece of tainting and every flag in the city had taen brought into service. From h§tel windows and business houses streamers of buuting were thrown to the breeze, and in some places strings -of cowbells had been suspended from windows to add to the din. The Etcorllng Troops. Three heavy batteries, one light battery and the regimental band of the "Third artillery canyr* first in the pasrade, followed by the Nebraska regiment, and then came the Pennsylvanians, led by Lieut.-Col. Barnett. Col. Barnett’s sword, draped in crepe out of respect to the memory of Col. Hawldns, commander of the regiment, who died at sea en route home, caused a Lush to fall on the multitudes. A Sturdy Lot of Men. The Pennsylvanians were a sturdy Hot, and presented even a better ap•pearance, from a health standpoint, -than did the Nebraska boys and those -from Utah, but they ascribe this to the tonic effects of the sea air on the voyage and to the fact that they were off the fighting line for some time before •departure from the islands. They were -attired in blue uniforms, and carried their blankets and rifles, and their apick and span appearance commanded great attention. The soldiers"accepted the attentions ■showered upon them modestly, plodding along with even step and only occasionally looking to the right or left. The expressions of gratification which their sunburned faces bore and an occasional cheer, were the only sighs -they permitted themselves to show -that they appreciated the demonstrations of a grateful people. The plaudits of an admiring- people could not dissipate the discipline of a year’s service in Uncle Sam’s army, and the loss of their commander hung heavily upon them. The War 'Warn Battle Flag, The,battle flag of the Pennsylvanians, torn, shot-riddled and almost xf -a wreck of its former beauty, excited more admriation that did anything •Ise. As soon as the color bearer come Into sight, carrying the dingy 'and •frayed piece of silk, a cheer, mightier, if possible, than any which has been 4given the boys, rang out and reverberated along the throngs who had gathered to welcome the soldiers. The ambulances of the Pennsylvanians brought up the rear of the regiment,"bearing the sick apd woundad. * Following the Pennsylvanians came Battery C, of the Third artillery, from the Presidio. 1

Reviewed l*y Gen. Shatter. The parade was review on Van Ness over.uc- by Gen. Shatter, and in the reviewing stand with him was the commit tet of Pennsylvanians who had ■come all the way from the Keystone -«tate to extend a welcome to their returned heroes. As the troops passed the reviewing stand they could not ■t suppress a cheer, and it was returned l>y those in the stand, bowing, waving handkerchiefs and flags. In Caiuii at the Presidio. On arrival at the Presidio the work -of going into camp was taken up with •0 vim, and early in the afternoon the boys were comfortably quartered. Here they will remain for several weeks until they are mustered out, '■when they will be taken to iheir Pennsylvania homes in a body. Transportation East. Arrangements for their transportation east are nearing completion, and ~b\ the time the soldiers are mustered -out everything will be in readiness to t*lwve them rushed across the continent as fast as the iron horses of the rialvroads can carry them. Salliug or the Shamrock. Glasgow, Aug. 4.—The cup chal'leisger Shamrock sailed from Fairlie this morning, accomjianied by Sir 'Thomas Lipton's steam yacht Erin, Tgnily decorated with itag.%. As the two yachts proceeded down the river, whose banks were thronged with spectators, they were greeted with enthusiastic cheers intermingled with singing “Kule Britannia.” The craft in the vicinity of Fairlie -displayed flags in honor of the departing challenger. The sound of the whistles and sirens blowing in hoyof -of Shamrock was deafening.

THE DREYFUS TRIitL BEGUN. Will Devote Two Soya Bekla4 Closed Doom to Cooulderotloa •f the Secret Douter. Rennes, Aug. T.—The town la extremely animated, but everywhere perfect tranquility prevails. Public interest is concentrated upon the arrival from Paris of various personages likely to figure in the trial of Capt. Dreyfus. Among these are Generals De Boisdeffre, Gone and Roget, all iu mufti. M. Godfrey Cavaignac, former mi nisi er of war, and M. Casimir-Perier, former president of France. A large crowd which had gathered iround the railway station, ygreen-d the generals on alighting from the train with cries of “Vive I/Armee." The revisionist spectators responded with “Vive la Republique,” but there was no disturbance of order. M. Casimir-Perier, who was much fatigued by the long railway journey, decided to walk to the hotel, hoping that he would hot be recognized, but his identity soon became known and a large crowd followed him, as, attired In a light suit; he walked slowly along, chatting with the prefect of police uhd the chief of the secret police, M. Viguer, who met him at the railway station, and accompanied him to the hotel. The crowd made n<* demonstration. The authorities, however, deem it wisa to maintain the most stringent precautions for the safel y of the forme* president, and six gendarmes now patrol the front of the hotel where he has apartments, while a number of detectives watch the entrance hall ilosely and scan all srrivals.

The trial will commence this morn* Ing. After the indictment has been read, it is thought probable the president of the court-martial, Col. Juast, will order the doors closed for the consideration of the secret dossier which will be presented by Gen. Chamein. The consideration of the dossier, it is expected, will occupy two days, so that the next public session will prol> ably be on Thursday, although perhaps n«t until Friday. The general impression is that the whole proceedings will occupy at least three weeks. BOUGHT BY THE PRESIDENT. The Famous “McKinley Cottane” Once More ia the Hands ot Those Who Lore It. Canton, O., Aug. 7.—President McKinley has purchased the famous “McKinley cottage”- at the corner of North Market street and Louis avenue. The deal was closet! Saturday. The ! consideration was $14,500. The papers have passed. He will secure posses* sion of the contract and deed Octobei next. The property was not in the market It was endeared to president and Mrs. McKinley ns their first home, where they began housekeeping and by tend* er memories of sorrows there. The lot is 100, feet front on Market street, by 244 on Louis avenue. The front veranda shows the most wear from the historic campaign of 1896, when the noted home was the political Mecca for nearly a milliox people. ; Before leaving Canton for the inau guration President McKinley tried to buy the home made doubly dear to him. It is not believed that Mrs. Hartes would have sold the place to anyone else. i It is believed to be the president’s intention to spend a part of each summer in Canton, The interior of the house has always been roomy and cool and comfortable. It is thought possible that the president may renovate j the house and make improvements.

i THE UPRISING OF THE YAQUIS. Tke Iadinai Never Better Prepare# am# a Prolonged and Bloody M’ar ISxpeeted. Austin, Texas, Aug-. 7.—-A special re* | eeived here yesterday from Terraras, j state of Chihuahua, Mexico, which is ; located near the seene of the Yaqoi [ uprising, is to the effect that the In- ; dians are arranging for a prolonged | war. The special says: “It is going to take the Mexican government a long time with a big | force of troops to quell the rebellion. The Yaquis are better prepared now than ever before for a long and a bloody campaign. They are well fixed financially, nearly all of them having saved the $200per head which the Mex* lean government paid them when they : signed the treaty of peace two years ago. They have been making money since then, too. and it is known to be a fact that they have been laying in | big supplies of arms and ammunition : for some time past. * . • “It has been common talk among the American prospectors in the YjMpii j valley that the Indians are preparing j for another outbreak, but as the ! braves had always shown a friendly | spirit towards the Americans it was j thought they would not molest them j when they did go on the war path. , They are determined to recover all their lost country, however, and will i kill everybody they find within the | limits of their old possessions.” The special also reported that a ' number of miners and ranchmen in j and neap Socori had been slain and j their property laid waste. TWO ILLICIT DISTILLERIES. Wr Furnished Drink to Soldier* a Year Ago, but Came to Grief at Laat, Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. v 7.—Revenue officers Saturday night raided two illicit distilleries operated within three miles of Chickamauga park. Both the establishment did a land office business last year supplying whisky to soldiers at Chi ;kamauga .park and had defied arreht, he soldiers aiding the moonshiners in keeping the officers off the track.

CHRIST’S TEACHINGS. Dr. Talmage Depicts Triumphs of the Gospel Victories mt tke ChrlilUi Rellvtoa -Oruktrit Are Rrelal«r4 aai Thieve* Made RlSkteoaa. (Copyright. 1899, by Louis KlopschJ Washington, Aug. ft. ' The antagonists of the Christian religion are in this sermon of Dr. Talmage met in a very unusual way, and the triumphs of the Gospel are depicted. The text is Eeekiel 21:21: “He made his arrows bright, he consulted, with images, he looked in the liver.” Two modes of divination by which the king of Babylon proposed to find out the will of God. He took a bundle of arrows, put them together, mixed them up, then pulled forth one, and by the inscription on it decided what city he should first assault. Then an animal was 6lain, and by the lighter or ^darker color of the liver the brighter or darker prospect of success was inferred. That is the meaning of the text: “He made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.** Stupid delusion! And yet

all the ages have been filled with delusions. It seems as if the world lores to be hoodwinked, the delusion of the text only a specimen of a vast number of deceits practiced upon the human race. In the latter part of the last century Johanna Southcote came forth pretending to have Divine power, made prophecies, had chapels built in her honor, and 100,000 disciples came forward to follow her. About five years before the birth of Christ Apollonius was born, and he eame forth, and after five years being speechless, according to the tradition, he healed the sick, and raised the dead, and preached virtue, and, according to the myth, having deceased, was brought to resurrection. The Delphic oracle deceived vast multitudes of people; the Pythoness seated in the temple of Apollo uttering a crazy jargon from which the people guessed their individual or national fortunes or misfortunes. The utterances were of such a nature that you could read them any way you wanted to read them.

So the ancient auguries deceived the people. The priests of those auguries by the flight of birds or by the intonation of slain animals told the fortunes or misfortunes of individuals and of nations. The sibyls deceived the people. The sibyls were supposed to be inspired women who lived in caves and who wrote the sibylline books afterward purchased by Tarquin the Proud. So late as the year 1S29 a man arose in New York, pretending to be a Divine being, and played his part so well that wealthy merchants became his disciples and threw their fortunes into his keeping. And so in all ages there have been necromancies, incantations, witchcrafts, sorceries, magical arts, enchantments, divinations and delusions. The one of the text was only a specimen of that which has been occurring in all ages of the world. None of these delusions accomplished any good. They deceived, they pauperized the people, they were as cruel as they were absurd. They opened no hospitals, they healed no wounds, they wiped away no tears, they emancipated no serfdoms But there are those who say that all these delusions combined are as nothing compared wi\h the delusion now abroad in the world—the delusion of the Christian religion. That delusion has to-day 460,000,000 dupes. It proposes to entircle the earth with its girdle. That which has been called a delusion has already overshadowed the Appalachian range on this side of the sea, and it has overshadowed the Balkan and Caucasian ranges on the other side of the sea. It has conquered England and the United States. This champion delusion, this hoax, this swindle of the ages, as it has been called, has gone forth $o conquer the islands of the Pacific, ahd Melanesia and Micronesia and Malayan Polynesia have already surrendered to the delusion. Yea, It has conquered the Indian archipelago, and Borneo and Sumatra and Cel-, ebes and Java have fallen under its wiles. Jn the Fiji islands, where there are 120,000 people, 102,000 have already become the dupes of this Christian religion, arrd if things go on as they are now going on and if the influence of this great hallucination of the ages cannot be stopped it will swallow the globe. Supposing, then, that Christianity is the delusion of the centuries, as some have pronounced it, 1 propose to show you what has been accomplished by this chimera, this fallacy, this hoax, this swindle of the

ages. And, in the first place, I remark that this delusion of the Christian religion has made wonderful transformations of human character. I will go down the aisle of any church in Christendom, and 1 will find on either side ^hat aisle those who were once profligate, profane, unclean of speech and unclean of action, drunken and lost. But by the power of this delusion of the Christian religion they hare been completely transformed, and now they are kind and amiable and loving and useful. Everybody sees the change. Under the power of this great hallucination they have quit their former associates, ^ad, whereas they once found their chief delight among those who gambled and swore and raced horses, now they find their chief joy among those who go to prayer meetings and churches, so complete is this delusion. Yea, their own families have noticed it—the wife has noticed it, the children have noticed it. The money that went for rum now goes for books and for clothes and for education. Be is a new man. All who know him say there has been a wonderful change. What is the cause of this change? This great hallucination of the Christian religion. Thera is as

much difference between what be ; Is now and what he once waaas between a rose and a nettle, as between a dove and a vulture, as between day and night. Tremendous delusion! Admiral Farragut, one of the most admired men of the American'havy, early became a victim of this Christian delusion, and, seated not long before his death at Long Branch, he was giving some friends an account of bis early life. He aaid: “My father went down in behalf of the United States government to put an end to Aaron Burr's rebellion. 1 was a cabin boy and went along with him. 1 could swear like an old salt. 1 could gamble In every ; style of gambling. I knew all the wickedness there was at that time abroad. One day my father cleared everybody I outoftheeabinexceptmyselfand locked the door. He said: 'David, what arc you going to do? What arc you going to I be?’ ‘Well,’ I said, ‘father, 1 am going to follow the sea.* ‘Follow the sea andi be a poor, miserable, drunken sailor, kicKed and cuffed about the world, and ; die of a fever In a foreign hospital?" *Oh, no!’ 1 said, ‘Father, 1 will not be that; 1 will tread the quarter deck and | command, as you do.’ ‘No, David,’ my father said; *no, David, a person that has your principles and your bad habits will never tread the quarter deck or command.’ My father went out and shut the <!oor after him, and 1 said

then: ‘1 will change. 1 will never swear again, 1 will never drink again, 1 vyill never gamble again/ and, gentlemen, by the help of God I have kept those three vows to this time. 1 soon after that became a Christian, and that decided my fate for time and for etjer- [ nity.” Another captive of this great Christian deiusion. There goes §au! of Tarsus on horseback at full gallop. Where is he going? To destroy Christians. He wants no better play spell than to stand and watch the hats and coats of the murderers who are massacring God’s children. There goes the same man. This time he is afcjot. Where is he going now? Going on the road to Ostia to die for Christ, They tried to whip it out of him, they tried to scare it out of him, they thought they would give him enough Of it by putting him on small diet, and denying him a cloak, and condemning him as a criminal, and howling at him throiigh the streets; but they could not freeze it out of him, and they could not sweat

it out of him, and they could not pound it out of him, so they tried the surgery of the sword, and one summer day in 66 he was decapitated. Perhaps the mightiest intellect of the 6,000 years of the world’s existence hoodwink ed, cheated, cajoled, duped by the Christian religion. . ' j • ’ Ah, that is the remarkable thing about this delusion of Christianity ! It overpowers the strongest intellects. Gather the critics, secular and religious, of this century together and jput a vote to them as to which is the greatest book ever written, and by a large majprity they will say “Paradise Lost.” Who wrote “Paradise Lost?” One of the fools who believed in this Bible, John Milton. Benjamin Franklin surrendered to this delusion, if you' may judge from the letter that he wrote to Thomas Paine, begging him to destroy “The Age of Benson” in manuscript and ifever let it go into type, and wrriting afterward, in hist old days: “Of this Jesus of Nazareth 1 have to say of the system of morals He left and the religion He has given us are the best things the world has ever seen or is likely to see.” Patrick Henry, the electric champion of liberty, enslaved by this delusion, so that he says: “The book worth all other books pujt together isS^ke Bible.” Benjamin Blush, the leading physiologist and anatomist of his day, the great medical scientist —what did he say ? “The only true! and perfect religion is Christianity.” Isaac Newton, the leading philosopher of his time—what did he say? That fcnan surrendering to this delusion of the Christian religion, crying out: “The sublimest philosophy on earth is the philosophy of the Gospel.” David Brewster, at the pronunciation of whose name every scientist the world over uncovers his head, David Brewster sayiBg: “Oh, this religion has been a great light to me, a very great light all my dajys!” President Thiers, the great French statesman, acknowledging that he prayed when he said: “I invoke the Lord God, in whom 1 am glad to believe.” David Livingstone, able to; conquer the lion, able to conquer the panther, able to conquer the savage, yet conquered by this delusion, this hallucination, this gfeat swindle of the ages, so when they find him dead they find him on his knees. William E. Gladstone, the strongest intellect in England, unable to resist this chimera, this fallacy, this delusion of the Christian

religion, went to the house of Hod every Sabbath, and often, at the invitation of the rector, read the prayers to the people. If those mighty intellects i are overborne by this delusion, what | chance is there for you and me? , Besides that, I have noticed that first rate infidels cannot be depended on for steadfastness in the proclamation of their sentiments. Goethe, a leading skeptic, was so wrought! upon by this Christianity that in a weak moment he cried out: “My belief in the Bible has saved me in my literacy and moral life.” Bosseau, one of the most eloquent champions of infidelity, spending his whole lifs waning against Christianity, cries out: “The majesty of the Scriptures amazes me.u Alternant, the notorious infidel, one would think he would have been safe against this delusion of the Christian religion. Oh, no! After talking against Christianity all his days, in his last hours he cried out: “Oh, Thou blasphemed but most indulgent Lord God, hell itself is a refuge if it hide me from Thy frown!” Voltaire, the most talented infidel the world ever saw, writing 350 publications, and the most of them spiteful against Christianity, himself the most notorious libertine of the cen~

" " . "" ■ ‘ "" W" tury—one would hare though 1 he could haTe been depended upon Jt<r steadfastness in the advocacy of infidelity, and in the war against thfc» terrible chimera, this •ielndoa of tbs Gospel. But no; in his last hour he isks for Christian burial and asks that they give him the sacrament of the Lord Jesus Christ. Why, you cai not depend upon these first rate infidels; you cannot depend upon their porrer to resist this great delusion of Chr stianitv. Thomas Paine, «he god of modern skeptics, his birthday celebrated in Mew York and Boeton with great enthusiasm—Thomas Paine, the paragon of Bible haters—Thomas Paine, about whom his brother infidel, WilUans Carver, wrote in a letter whi«-h I have at my house, saying that he drank a quart of rum it day and was oo mean and too dishonest to pay for ti —Thomas Paine, the adored of modern infidelity—Thomas Paine, who stole another man's wife in England and brought her to this country—Thomas Paine, who was so squalid and so loathsome and so drunken anil so profligate and so beastly in his haKts, sometimes picked out of he ditch, sometimes too filthy to be picked out— Thomas Paine, one would have thought that he could have been depended on for steadfastness against this great de

lusion. But no. In his dying hour he begs the Lord Jesus Christ for mei'cy. Powerful delusion,, all conquering delusior, earthquaking delusion of the Christian religion. Yea, it goes on. It is so impertinent, and it is so overbearing, this chimera of the Gospel, that, haring conquered the great picture galleries of the world, the old masters and the young masters, it is not satiated until it has conquered the must a of the world. Look over the prog"*axnme of any magnificent musical festival and see what are the great performances and learn that the greatest of all the subjects are religious subjects. Yes, this chimera of the Gospel is not satisfied,until it goes on and builds itself into the most permanent architecture, so it seems as if the wcrld is nevi er to get rid of it. What are some of the finest buildings in the world? St. Paul’s, St. Peter’s and thf churches and cathedrals of all Ch ristendom. Yes, this imj>ertinence of the Gospel, this vast delusion, is not sat sfied until it projects itself, and in one rear gives, contributes, $6,250,000 to fcreign missions, the work of which is to make dunces and fools on the ot ier side of the world—people we have lever seen. Deluded doctors—220 physicians meeting week by week in London in the Union Medical prayer circle to worship God.

Deluded doctors—Lord Cairns, tho highest legal authority in England, the ex-adviser of the throne, spending his vacation in preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the poor people of Scotland. Frederick y. Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, once secretary of state, an old fashioned Evangelical Christian, an elder in the Reformed church. John Bright, a deluded Quake* Henry Wilson, the vice president of the United States, dying a deluded Methodist or Congregationalism Earl of Kintore dying a deluded Presbyterian. The cannibals in South sea, the bushmen of Tierra del Fue ?o, the wild men of Australia, putting down the knives of their cruelty and clothing themselves in decent apparel—all under the power of this delus on. Judson and Doty and Abeel and Ccmpbell and Williams and the 3,000 missionaries of the cross turning their backs on home and civilization and comfort and going out amid squalor of heathenism to relieve it, to save it, to help it, toiling until they dropped into their graves, dying with no earthly comfort about them, nnd going into graves with no appropriate, epitaph, when they might have lived in this country and lived for themselves and tiled luxuriously and been at last put into brilliant sepulchers. What a delusion! Yes, this delusion of the Christian religion shows itself in the fact that it goes to those who are in trouble.. Now, it is bad enough to cheat e, man when he is well and when he is prosperous, but this religion comes to i man when he is sick and says: “Yon will do well again after awhile. You are going into a land where there are no coughs, and no pleurisies, and no consumptions, and no languishing. Take courage and bear up.” Yea, this awful chimera of the Gospeji comes to the poor, a id it say^s to them: “You are on your way to vast estates and to dividends always declarable.” This delusion of Christianity comes to the bereft, and it talks of reunion before the throne and of the cessation of all sorrow. And then, to show that this delusion will stop at absolutely nothing, it goes to the dying bed and fills the man with anticipations. How much better it would be

to have him die without any more hope than swine and rats and sm kes! Shovel him under! That is all. Nothing more left of him. He will neve c know anything again. Shovel him mder! The soul is only a superior par : of the body, and when the body disintegrates the soul disintegrates. Annihilation, vacancy, everlasting blank obliteration. \V,hy not present all that beautiful doctrine to the dying instead of coming with this hoax, this swindle of the Christian religion, and filf i ig the dying man with anticipations of another life until some in the last hour have clapped their hands, and some have shouted, and some have sung,.and some have been so overwrought with joy that they could only look ecstatic? Palace gates opening, they thought—diamond coronets flashing, hands beckoning, orchestras sounding. Little children dying actually believing they saw their departed parents, so that although the little children had been so weak and feeble and sick for weeks they could not turn on their dying Allow at the last, in a paroxysm of rupture uncontrollable they sprang to their feet and shouted: “Mother, catch me; I ao< coming.*
