Opening of the Temperance Campaign

Well Attended Meetings Yesterday.

The meeting in the Seventh street Presbyterian church at four o'clock was not very largely attended, but it was very enthusiastic, and gave evidence that Mr. Dunn was the right man in the right place. Rev. McCollough opened the meeting with prayer and Mr. Dunn, spoke about an hour to th great atisfaction of his audience.

The meeting in the evening was largely attended. Mr. Dunn read a scripture lesson, "It a man is overtaken in a fault, restore such a one in the spirit of love," was the key note of the evening.

Rev. Mr. Parry lead in prayer Miss, Fannie Empt presided at the organ. Mr. Dunn gave a short talk, in. which he said now was the time for temperenc people to give their influence. The times of inspiration, whenbut little words was necessary to induce people to sign the pledge, had gone by, and now was the time for solid work. Success would crown our efforts if we are faithful. We arc going to extend a helping hand to the cast down, to men of big souls in them. The work should be Christ-like. Leave the saloon keeper out of the question, politics also.

If we chosed saloons-keepers we drive them from our influence. 1 hey have large souls. We will take no collections of money in our meeting but trust to Prov. idence for pay. This is a place of work and not of amusements, not to tell vulgar anecdotes.

The speaker said he had but little fedueation, but what he had, had been pounded into bim by experience, lie then call ed for from three to live minutes speeches.

Mr. Samuel Rossman said he had worked in the cause three years, and expected to work the balance of his life was glad Mr. Dunn was with us.

Kev. McCollough had had exper ience in drink, in the process Mr. Dunn spoke of. A firm personal stand in the cause of temperance he thought was what we needed, lie gave an interesting account of olden times in the use of whiskey in the harvest field and how his father had cut his wheat without whiskey These remarks were received with much favor by the large audience. Dr. Richardson made a tew impressive remarks. lie was tor temperance all the time.

Mr. Louis Guerineau said he was ready for the work in earnest. Rev. Mr. Parry was -glad we had started with the cardinal idea, "Love for the human family love for the unfortunate and sinning. We should hate the sins and love the sinner. Truth, gospel truth, was the great power, it is noble. We are all sinners at heart—the grace of God makes the difference. The image of God is in the lowest drunkard. Take him by the hand.

Dr. Mitchell said it was not. necessary for him to tell the people that he was in favor of temperance. He was in for, the work at all times and all ways. He prophesied success.

Averse or so was sung between the speeches. Mr. Dunn in the closing ex-, ercise, said he was highly pleased with the feeling and talks of the brethren. It is not reason the people want. It is leadership and devotion to the work, sym pathy for the victim of drink, in his trouble and grief. They .want to reform and they want help.

A call was made for persons who would work to come forward and sign the roll. Sixty-eight came forward, and ten persons signed the pledge.

Mr. Dunn will speak this evening at the same place, and every day this week. All are cordially invited to attend. The meetings are free

No Competition With Christ Intended by the Experiment. ,,

A Remarkable Case of Forced Fasting on the Frontier.

THE Docrro'8 CORRESPONDENCE. From the New York Sun. In the course of the day Dr. Tanner received a letter from J. B. Wallace, known in western Texas as "Big Foot Wallacethe Indian scout," in which a remarkable story is told, as follows: "In the year of 1862 I was in the northwstern portion of Texas, a private in Company K. Duff's Regiment, C. S. A., and stationed at Fort Davis. While on a scourt two companions and myself became.detached from our company, and camped on Providence Creek, a few miles northwest of the Fort. We were attacked at night by tne Indians, my two companions killed,-and our horses stampjried. I escaped in the darkness, with fty the clothe on my back and my revolver and bowie knife. The next morning while attempting t5 reach a pool of water in a rocky ravine, I fell and fractured my left leg about midway between ancle and knee, both bones being broken At the edge of the watcrpool was a disposit of tough, tenacious wet clay. I bound my broken limb with my shirt torn in strips, and then plastered it over thickly with the clay, keeping the limb as quiet as possible, and frequently renewing the poultice. After the second day I experienced no pain from the fracture. During the first three or four days I suffered much from hunger. I used water sparingly, and kept my belt comfortably tight about my waist, which appar-ently-afforded me relief from the griping pains that occasionlly annoyed me. For one day only, I think it was the 'Jth or 10th I becamc flighty at intervals, but not sufficiently so to banish from my mind that, absolute rest of the injured limb was nec, essary. The twenty-first day after the accident I removed the bandage, and found to my great joy, the broken bones Avere united. After a few efforts I raised myself erect, and stood on my feet, holding on to a little tree until I became satisfied I could trust the injured limb. I then cautiously and slowly, with the assistance ofka forked stick that answered as a crutch, worked my way for several hundred yards, when I became exhausted and sought the shelter of a shelving rock where I soon fell into a fitful sleep that I was aroused from by the howling of a coyote wolf, which was but a few yards" from me. I took as deliberate aim at him with my revolver as my nervous and exhausted condition permitted and blazed away, providentially killing him then I cut his throat and sucked his blood until 1 had swallowed a pint or more, when I was compelled to stop by violent cramps in my stomach. After suffering^ untold agonies for an hour or more the pain gradually subsided, and I fell into a sound and refreshing slumber. This was the first food that nad gone into my stomach for twenty-one days. When I awoke it was late in the night. An almost insatiable desire to fill my stomach with the raw flesh of the wolf. I knew, however, it would be1 death to do so, and partially relieved my hungry cravings by chewing the flesh and anly swallowing the juice. As soon as daylight appeared I collected brush and wood, made arousing fire, and soon roasted the hams of the wolf, on which I subsisted for the next two days, swallowing very little of the flesh, but all the juice I could extract by constant chewing. During the two days I walked eight miles and reached the fort, where! was received as one from the dead. I was put in hospital, and under the kind care and skillful dietary management of Dr. Arthur Stephens, Surgeon, C. S. A., I slowly recovered my health and strength. My ordinary weight prior to my starvation was about 205 pounds. The second day after my return to the fort I weighed 129% pounds. My height is 6 feet 1% inches."

The following postal card was plumped down on Dr. Tanner's table, in the middle of Clarendon Hall, yesterday:

BOSTON, July 15, 1880.—Dr. Tanner: You are challenged by me to perform the tjyk of not "drinking." I claim that I can live longer than you without partaking of any "drink." I wager $300 that I will beat you. Yours truly

JUGGY DICKSON.

Dr. David Robinson wrote from Paterson to say that fevers of almost all kinds "consist of few ounces of dead matter the blood, which can always be expelled in a a few hours by the glands of the skin." He urged him to explore the boundaries of fasting, but to heed his ysicians when danger threatens. P.

Copeland, of Brooklyn, whose own sustenance "consists of cake, principally, with cold ice-water instead of poisonous tea," sent his congratulations. A clairvoyant wrote that she could see that he woi^ld succeed, and that_ there was in store for him a great triumph- Dr. P. A. Moelling, of Weehawken, N. J., wrote yesterdav that he had .been a Roman Catholic, and had read the life of Peter of Alcantara, who lived on the sacramental .elements of the daily mass until his body had the appearance of the root of a grapevine. He hopes that neither delirium nor convulsions will escort Dr. Tanner to th6 sumptuous tables of Paradise. The experiments of Redi, Dr. Moelling. writes, showed that animals lite ttQTcfe aalong when they have access towater asWben they have to do without both food and water. Three cases of abstinence are added in the letter, that of Viterbi, who fasted twenty-one days that of G. Graaet, who fluted fiflj-eignt dajs

and who, though he drank what water he chose, died of convulsions and that of El. Canning, who lived on a "quartern loaf and a gallon of water" for twentyeighty days. ... '4 THE DOCTOR'S RELIGION 3AND POLITICS

From the New York Herald. At half past 9 A. M. Dr. Tanner Was sleeping after his morning ride, and awoke at 10. An enthusiastic scribbler wrote him ten pages to prove that Tanner ought to put his faith in Jesus Christ The faster rose from his cot and said: "Faith in Christ! Why, I have perfect faith in Christ and believe in practical Christianity, and not churcliianity. No sectarianism for me, but the full exemplification of the golden rule—'Do unto others as you would have them do to you.' I believe that Christ gave us an example of long suffering and sacrifice for the benefit of his fellow man, that true belief in him demands emulation Orthodox religion and orthodox medicine are bound too closely by rules of the past that the present progress of science and intellectual knowledge have outgrown, hence they can not accept the obvious simplicity of Christ's life and teachings, ana would rather trample out utterly the most valuable testimony, than abate any one point of their written law. I remember a touchieg incident which will illustrate this that happened under my own observation in Cincinati sevoral years ago. A woman of loose character who had just arrived from New Orleans, was shot by a man during a quarrel immediately after her arrival, and she would have been buried in Potter's Eield had not other women of her class to the number of 500 subscribed $1 each to give her Christian burial. When all was ready, however, none of the orthodox churches would take part in the services. Said they, "No such vile thing in our church." At last they struck a Universalist,church whose minister "wa only too liap^y to oblige them," and on the morning of the funeral the poor fallen creatures nearly filled the building. The minister went into the pulpit with a carefully prepared manuscript from which to preach to them. But a power above himself took him back into the aisle, and from beside the coflln he talked directly to the hearts of those poor women. He preached Christ to them, and in ten minutes the flood gates were opened and not a diy eye remained in the church. I tell you, if the Christian community of Cincinnati had done their duty as Christians and extended the helping hand, nearly every one of those poor sinful souls would have been saved but, alas! no one made the necessary self-sacrifice, and they went back into the path that led to eternal destruction. It is easy to go through the Pharisaical form of prayer, but difficult indeed to live the life of a true Christian.1!

Visitors pouring in at this time (10:80 A. M.), the current of his thought was changed by the congratulations of a friend on his improved appearance, and he, with a laugh, rejoined: "I feel first rate, and when I turn the corner on Sunday and come in on the last half of my task I shall reach the homestretch on time, blooming." Dr. Porter, of Bridgeport, then said: "Dr. Tanner, did you lose desire for food in two or three days?" "Oh, it was longer than that but I can say now I have it under control." "But how about the drinking, Doctor "That appetite," said he, with a knowing smile, 'I am qualifying now, and with what results the scales are showing.!' "But," persisted the Doctor from the nutmeg State, "during the time you abstained did you not long for it." "My dear sir, I conquered all that by my will power. I could drink at any time, but desired to experiment with myself by doing without it, and when I thought I wanted it I took it."

At 10:46 he walked down into the main hall, and when he stepped on the scales he turned the balance, with his frock coat, at 139 pounds. Aa this is not the coat he is generaly weighed in, he sent lor his light coat and in that he weighed 186)f pounds, showing a clear gain of four-and a half pounds since he commenced to use water. After the weighing three ladies were introduced to him they asked him what he had learned so far from his fasting that could be^ of use to their sex. He replied: "Ladies, eat only enough to supply the waste of the body. If you could subsist on two meals a day, which I think ample, you could save one-third of your time, which can be devoted to intellectual tuid social culture." NOT COMPETING WITH THE REDEEMER.

He then went and reclined on his cot, where he was interviewed by Rev. G. H. Humphreys, of the Welsh Presbyterian Church in East Thirteenth street. The gentleman had taken umbrage at a remark made by an irreverent acquaintance who claimed that by "making his fast forty days Tanner intended to discount Jesus Christ." Accordingly, as soon as they were introduced, the reverend gentle man asked "Why choose forty days as the period of your fast?" Did you have reference to the fast in the wilderness?" Dr. Tanner, without hesitation, said, "Yes. The question came up during my last fast, which was started without reference to time, but whil^ it was going on, the question came up between somejfriends of mine, one of whom doubted the Savior's fast in the wilderness, and I said, in the heat of the argument: 'He did it,

and I will prove its"possibility bv fasting forty d^ys myself,' and I fasted forty-two. "Do you acknowledge any supernatural aid in your task "I cannot say that I do. I exercise all le" will power I possess, but beyond that cannot tell what supports me." "Is the character of your dreams any different from those in your ordinary life?" "They are, if they can be called dreams. The most charming pictures are occasionally presented to me, but I generally control my thoughts, even in my sleep, sO that slumber is a complete state of quietude" "You are a Christian man?" "I am, and there is no presumption on my part whatever. I do not strive for ootoriety or anything daein this nt«

except to demonstrate the scientific principles which I know this fast involves. My mind is as vigorous as it ever Was, and I deem myself a Christian in the full acceptation of the term."

A young lady friend of one of the watchers has promised to furnish the water-melon on which the Doctor is to break his fast on August 7th. She says that it shall be the biggest' and best that can be found in the city, and the faster has warned her to have it on hand punc tually, for he will go for the nearest melon the moment his fast expires.

At a late hour to-night he was sleeping quietly. His pulse registered 84 respiration normal.

HIS CONDITION TO-DAY.

NEW YORK, July 20.—At noon Dr. Tanner was in good condition with no marked variation in the pulse or temperature. He took his customary drive. During the morning he drank freely, of spring water and answered six letters

The average condition of the crop for the whole corntry is the highest for many years and is one hundred, being seven per cent more than last year at the same time. There are some complaints of drought in the South Atlantic states while in the Valley of the Mississippi and those states north of the Ohio river there is complaint of too much rain. The Pacific States report a very high condition. Wheat—The general average of winter wheat, July 1st was 95 against 91 a year ago. It improved, lightly during June.

The McKeen Cadets are as independent as they are magnificently drilled. They liave decided that they would rather drill in nine dollar uniforms of their own than to appear in fifty dollar outfits which had been begged. They don't do this haughtily, but in a spirit of manly independence. They are very •gaateful, indeed, for Ihe generosity of Mayor Havens and various other liberal citizens who have voluntarily proffered their assistance. They are aware, however, that the subscription papers are. almost always first presented to fifteen or twenty gentlemen who are almost compelled, by usage, to subscribe, and the boys prefer not to have this done Capt. Friend's letter to Mayor Havens, thanking him, is appended:

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., 12.

Mayor B. F. Ilavem and Members of Vte Citizens Committee: GENTLEMEN:—It is a very delicate matter for us to refuse to accept the very generous offer made by yourselfm the matter of starting the subscription to purchase for us a uniform. This generosity on your part alone proves you to be our best friend. We rely upon this to sustain us in saying what we do in this letter. When our company was first organized certain very generous citizens offered us money with which to purchase a fine uniform. This offer we refused on the grounds that we would rather buy our own uniform, and so the gentlemen were notified. Coming as ycur generous proposition does, right when we need a fine uniform above all things else, it seems strange that we should return the money you have given us. We take the liberty, hpwever, of retaining five dollars as the amount necessary for one year's honorary membership. We wish to thank you for your good feeling towards the company and to extend an urgent invitation to visit us at our armory and park. We shall never forget the high compliment you have paid us and shall remain always yours with the most exalted esteem. ^{EDWARD FIEDLER,

THE OBELISK.

The Trrc Across the Ocean—Disabled and Delayed.

Description of the Huge Reiio pf Ancient Egypt.

An Interview With Commander Gorringe.

NEW YORK, July 20.—A World ropor ter boarded the" Dewouk'at two o'clock this morning and interviewed Commander Gorringe at to the obelisk and his trip. The Commander said that they left Alexandria June 12tli and Gibralter on 'the 25th. The weather continued tine and nothing particular occurred until the 6th of July .at eight o'clock in the morning. We were going along eight-and-a-half knots with smooth sea, when all at once the engine stopped and we found tho after crank shaft broken short off. Of course we made sail and began to .dismantle the shaft and take the engine to pieces. We worked night and day until the 12th. On tho evening ot the 12th we were/eady to start again, having put in anew shaft. There is a story connected with this shaft: When I bought the vessel in Alexandria purchased her with everything on board and belonging to her, and afterward I found that this spare shaft lielonged to her and was in, the stores, and I had the greatest fight you ever heard of for two months before I could them 10 give me the shaft but I got it at 1 ast and it saved us from a very long pas.ia^e. On the day after I broke the shaft, we were spoken by the Austrian bark Mel tune,- of Tersagno, and I requested the captain to deliver for me at any port the following telegram: To the Hohora ble Secretary of the Nary:

Steamer Dessouk, with the obelisk, broke her crane shaft July 6th latitude, 87 lpngitude, 47. The spare shaft is being fitted probable detention ten days, until repairs are completed. Will try to keep between parallels. 37 ami 37:80.

LIEUT. GORRINGE.

The Austin bark was bound to Constan ^inople but promised to stop at Gibralwrto send this dispatch. By the skill and energy, of Commander Gorring he has been enabled to reach New York 'before the bark has reached Gibralter and he will accordingly telegraph 'at once to Ms- Sprague, our consul at Gibraltar, not to forward the dispatch This broken shaft, Lieutenant Commander Sorring. has delayed us for about eight days. Here is one thing you can say, that the obelisk has arrived broken of it. received it. It is 70 feet long, eight feet square at the base and five feet three inches at the top. It weighs 200 tons The pedestal weighes forty-three fons the steps, or foundation without the pedistal, weighes 74 tons the machinery for lowering it weighs 60 tons. While I was at Gibraltar Lord Napier, of Magdala, the Governor General of Gibraltar, came on board with all of his staff and a large party of ladies and went down in the hold and examined critically the obelisk and the manner, of its stowage. They expressed themselves much pleased With all they saw. Lord Ripon, on his way to India, came' on board at Alexandria and inspected the obelisk.. There were also many engineers who i, came from a great distance to see it and to observe the manner of the shimpent. Two

and that there is not a square inch I shall deliver it just as I

Austrian enginers came all the way from Trieste. I shall take it out just exactly as I put it in that is, put the vessel in the dry dock first.

ANCHORED IN NORTH RIVER.

*NEW YORK, July 20.—This morning the steamer Dessouk having the Egyptian obelisk in her hold steamed up North river and anchored in off Twenty-third street where she will probably be for the next few days.

TEMPERENCE.

ICR. DUNN'S SECOND MEETING. The Temperance meeting at Seventh street church last evening was not so well attended as on Sunday. The order of Che meeting was the same as the pievoius night. First an address by Mr. Dunn, in which he besought all christains, and friendsof temperance, to unite their forces each feeling a personal responsibility. He futher safd he had seen more drunkenness in Terre Hautesince Saturday then he had seen in all places he had visited in the last eight months. A very poor excuse to offer is, that we are not suffering' from the immediate effect of intemperence in our family. That does not excuse us from helping those who are suffering from this great curse.. There is not an intemperate soul that is not worth the saving. All bear the image of the divine father, though it may be denied and hidden by slum and filth of to temperence.

Short speeches from George Hill, George Russell, Rev. Parry, Rev. McCullough and Mr. Caleb Ball, the book agent, followed these remarks,. with signing. A call for a large choir, and an effort for a large atteudence was given, after which the signing of the pledge was in order.

After the meeting Kev. McCollough was elected chairman, Lewis Guerineau secretary, and Dr. Mitchell George Wells and Sawyer Eggleson were oppointed committee on finance, so there might be method in their work.' Meeting to night All come.
