Investi- gation slowed that the shot was fired by one of their comrades, John H. Logue, who had attempted to take his own life. The weapon he used was found on the floor beside him. He had shot himself m the mouth. How he man- aged to accomplish this with a Springfield rifle, the weapon he had used, was a mystery until the gun was examined by one of the marines, who found a string tied to the and the other end attached to his foot. ough 80 badly wounded, the sufferer was not ;uncon- scious.

Dr. aes on Subject of Current and Eternal Interest. To the Editor of Te EVENING Star: Those who were present in the parlors of the Y. M.C. A. building yesterday afternoon en- joyed a rare privilege in listening to athought- ful and practical address by President Welling, of the Columbian University. He chose for his theme correct _ discernment of religious truth, and showed ‘by many quotations from the Bible how slow the ancients were in discerning the great truths of the scriptures, and how inclined they were to lace a literal interpretation upon’ the Bes of the Bible. He maintained that the leading object of the Saviour in using parables ‘was not to impress facts upon his hearers, but to test their power of discerning the great truths that form the foundation of faith. Among the dangers that now beset a discern- ment of truth in religion, the speaker said, are carnal feelings, too literal interpretation, sluggishmese in searching for truth, and acarp- ing, hypercritical spirit in listening to the ex- yanding of the scriptures, and in the endeavor TS question the principles therein contained. the large number of young men present lis- tened most attentively to Dr. Welling’s address and carried away thoughts which will doubt- less prove of the greatest benefit to them in the moral and religious life. The Y. M. C. A. organization is doing an amount of good to the young men and boys of Washington which few appreciate. The men who manage this noble association are earnest, | faithful, practical ‘istians, and their organi- zation deserves not only our sincere admira- tion, but also our warm and constant support.
