WORDS IN SERMON

EVANGELIST'S WORDS WERE TOO MUCH FOR THEM GREAT

AUDIENCE HEARD THE. BITTER ARRAIGNMENT. Dublin, Ind., July 13. (Spl.) True to predictions, the sermon tonight by tho Rev. J. Fenwick Reed, at the camp meeting, on the subject of "Dancing,1 Was a severe denouncement of danc ing and dancers in general. Mr Heed showed mercy at no quarter, and during the bitter arraignment of the practice, many persons in tho audi ence who took exceptions to his re marks, got up and left the tent. The fact that the minister would speak on this subject was generally known in the three surrounding counties and tho largest crowd of the revival was In attendance, it being estimated that thero were at least twelve hundred people in the tent, many also being turned away owing to lack of. room .within. Took a Strong Text. Rev. Reed took for his text, "Ho that soweth to tho flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, Gal. 6-7." He opened his remarks by saying, "I am unflinchingly and wlthoutfear.against und denounce the dance. Be it clearly understood at the outset I speak of tho dance and not the dancers." Rev. Reed then gave some statements on which ho based Ids theory that dancing was wrong. Ho said.. "I denounce the dance because It is injurious to health. It is practiced after tho day's toil is over and often after the day's work is rushed in order that tho dancor may attend. It is often curried on till midnight and sometimes tjll morning. In one waltz, if I remember "correctly, it is necessary to coer a distance in stping, equal to nearly 2 miles, and that at a rapid Kalt. The Bhameful way In whicil the ladles dress is decidedly injurious to their health. It Is unnatural and unbecoming. Thackeray says A man who dances is an ass. I do not say It. I have too much sympathy for the donkey." Showed the Immoral Side. Mr. Reed showed tho immoral side Of tho dance. Ho said: "I charge the dance with being tho hotbed of Immorality, a feeder of the sensual passion, and in that, worso than the saloon. The majority ot inmatees in houses of ill repute attribute their downfall to tho dance. Yet even farther than that, some women will go to a dance and dance with men dressed up in all manner of dlsguisa, not knowing who they are." Ho also said that thero was more harm In a "sitting still waltz" than a "hopping around waltz" referring to people sitting out dances. At the clos of his sermon he gave a warning to parents to keep their children away from dances and shield them along this line.

IF PORTLY SECRETARY GOES IT MEANS THAT HE WILL NOT BECOME CHIEF JUSTICE BUT MAY SEEK PRESIDENCY.

Publishers' Pres2 Washington, .July .13. secretary Taft is considering a trip to the Philippines next spring. He would like to be present when the first legislative body of the islands meets. He contributed greatly toward the establishment of a popular legislative body. The question of making this journey has not been definitely decided. The final conclusion of Mr. Taft is of unusual interest. If he goes to the Philippines it will mean that he has refused a position on the supreme bench and will be an active candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. If he does not go it means that he will accept the place made vacant by the retirement of Justice Brown and forever relinquish all presidential ambitions. Secretary Taft would not hesitate about accepting the chief justiceship but does not care so much for the subordinate position. He will await developments before reaching a final conclusion as to his course.

SHERA & STARR

T Will Furnish Coal for the Municipal Light Plant for the Coming Year. THEIR BID WAS THE BEST KIND OF COAL TO BE USED HAS NOT BEEN DECIDED ON EXPERIMENTS NOW BEING MADE ON DIFFERENT GRADES, At the meeting of the board of Works yesterday the contract for furnishing coal to the Municipal Light Plant for the coming year was awarded to Shera and Starr, that firm being the only one which bid on all the kinds of coal used at the plant. The bid of Shera and Starr on nut and slack coal, the most used at the plant, was $2.15 per ton. Mather Bros, bid the same amount on this grade of coal. In awarding the contract the board felt that the Shera and Starr bid was the better one as it included all kinds of coal that the plant would likely use during the coming year. The grade of coal to be used has not been decided on by the board. Experiments are now being made at the light plant to ascertain whether ornot, expensive coal pays better in the long run than a cheap grade of coal. The board will defer action on the kind of coal to be used until these experiments are completed. Shera and Starr furnished coal for the city last year and gave the best of satisfaction. Several times last year when other firms in the city were handicapped by lack of coal, and local dealers could hardly supply their demans, Shera and Starr kept an agent on the road hunting up coal cars, and almost bribing railroad employes to hurry their shipments. The bid of Shera and Starr, and in fact, all the companies, was higher this year than last, which fact is accounted for by there being a greater demand for slack and nut coal now than ever before, which has raised the price. The general use of stokers is causing an tmprecedented call for slack and nut coal. This grade of coal is but the off falling of lump coal, and the latter being less in demand, causes a smaller supply of the slack and hence an increased price.

A REAL CIRCUS COMING WILL BE HERE AUGUST 7 Cole Bros. Circus Yesterday Made Arrangements to Show in This City Is Not Well Known Yet Said to be a Good Show. After all it seems as though Richmond will get to see a circus. The advance agent of Cole Bros. Circus was in the city yesterday and took out a $25.00 license to show- here on Aug. 7. The circus has recently come from Australia playing en route at various points in Canada. It will come here from Hamilton, O. There are many who may recall the last time that this circus showed in the city about fifteen years ago. on South 9th street when persons say they never saw such a rain as poured down 'on the tent. Advance Agent W. Murphy was in the city yesterday , and let the contract for feed to Howard Ridge and Son of North 9th street. They ordered seven tons of hay, one hundred and fifty bushels of oats and seven tons of straw. This compares very favorably with Hagenbeck's and other circuses that have visited the citv. It will show at the grounds on the corner of South Sth ariH H streets, the grounds at 19th street being unavailable. As Richmond is circus hungry the show will no doubt carry much money out of the city.

AMATEUR RAFFLES IITSJCIOND Rents Room of Mrs. Mendenhall on North 14 St., and Carries Away Valuables. REMAINED BUT AN HOUR TRIED HIS GAME AT ANOTHER HOUSE NEARBY, BUT GOT NOTHING LEFT OLD HOSE AND TOOK WOMAN'S SILK PAIR Raffles, in the form of a young man about six feet tall, clothed in light grey and a natty derby on head, ab sconded with several articles of jew elry and some money from the boarding house of Mrs. Mendenhall, at 424 North 14 street, yesterday afternoon. No neater robbery has been scored on the local police records for a long time than that which Raffles turned off between 3:30 and 4:30 o'clock yes terday afternoon. Knocking at the door, and being answered by Mrs Mendenhall, he stated that he would like to take a room. He was shown one and told the woman that he would take It. "I should like to He down and rest for about an hour," said he. Mrs. Mendenhall left the room. For the next hour Raffles opened all the trunks on the floor, taking money, watches, watch-chains and wearing ap parel. Then he went down and said to the landlady: "I am going down to the station to see if my trunk has come." That was the last of RafTles. When the boarders arrived in the evening it was found that Martin Wheelbarger was minus $4.50; Charles Bard, $1.00; Harry Walters $3.00; William Short a gold watch, with the inscription in the back, "Will to Eva"; and Harvey Brown a gold watch chain. Raffles' socks must have been on for some time, for he took them off and selected a dainty pair of full length hose from one of the women's trunks and put them on, leaving his "woolens" as a clue. Raffles took a room at 13 and D streets, going through that house in the same manner as the one above mentioned. He failed to find anything that suited him, as nothing was discovered missing. Son Vs.

JOHN O'LEARY, LABOR LEADER. THINKS IT IS ONE OF THE MOST I MFORTANT DECISIONS IN YEARS.

IPubllshcrs' Press Milwaukee, Wis.. July 13. Laboi unions scored an important victorj when Judge J. V. Quarles. after lis tening to an all day argument In the United States District Court, handed down a decision dissolving an injunction obtained by the Allis-Chalmer! Company on June 16. restraining striking members of the Iron Molders Union from interfering by picketins or otherwise with the company's business. Judge Quarels defined the rights of laboring men and traced the history of labor unions and strikes from their early beginning in France and England to the present day. The injunction was dissolved without prejudice to the Allis Chalmers Company of renewing the application upon a showing that the strikers Had resorted to unlawful means to accomplish their ends. Among others who listened ta Judge Quarles was John R. O'Leary, of Boston, third vice president of the Iron Molders Union. When It became apparent that Judge Quarles would decide In favor of the strikers broad smiles appeared on the faces of the auditors and some of the younger men sliowed a decision to applaud. When they saw that for the first time in years a labor injunction was about to be dissolved by a' federal judge, their joy almost got the better of their awe of the pompous court attendants. Mr. O'Leary and other officers of the union said fater court adjourned that Judge Quarles' decision was the most important labor decision that' has been handed down in yearr, "This is a great day for the cause of labor," said Mr. O'Leary, "This is the first decision of its kind handed down In many years. It will go far to insure a peaceful settlement of labor difficulties. We have always maintained that labor injunctions have had a great deal to do with disorder and violence in times of strikes acd disputes. You may be sure the Iron Molders Union will do nothing to justify the foundrymen in taking advantage of Judge Quarles' permission to renew their application for an injunction on proof of unlawful practices." THE MONEY ORDER BUSINESS IS BEG Postoffice Sends Out and Red ceives Much Money in This . Manner Annually.

ANY AMOUNT CAN BE SENT THE SMALLEST ORDER EVER MADE OUT HERE WAS FOR TWO S'. CENTS, WHICH WENT TO EATON INCREASE LAST YEAR.
