Latin Inscriptions on the Dwellings of Depew, Vanderbilt and Others. Chauncey M. Depew lives at No. 43 West S4th street and employs among other servants a butler, who handles a duster between meals and officiate as major domo says the New York Herald. He was early afoot yesterday morning and throwing wide the front doors he emerged upon the stoop, keen eyed for de- tails requiring the attention of his subor- dinates. He fixed his glances on the front of the house and started. There, right un- der the electric button of the door bell, covering about a foot of space, was a close- ly written placard. It was fastened as tight as paste could hold it against the brown stone of the structure. It looked sirister in the gray of early morning. ‘The card was couched in language beyond the butler’s intellectual grasp, but it car- ried a carefully executed pictorial post- script, which made its meaning terribly clear, There, under the mysterious wording which read to him like mad gibberish, ap- peared a drawing of a bomb, with a short, sputtering fuse. Close to the bomb were the letters “I. C. P.,” surmounting a cross, made heavy and forbidding by the plentiful use of black ink. Summoning servants with hot water and a sponge the butler speedily transferred the message from the house front to the li- brary table, where it was carefully inspect- Cg the members of the Depew house- The missive, unintelligible to the butler, was found to be written in Latin. It read: Fratres reminisce exemplum Vallianti gloriosum. Mors diverti. Hic est homo ad- judicatus. Omnibus mone. IMPERIO COMMUNIS POPULI. The following translation of the above indicates that the “ nk” who fixed the missive to Mr. Depew’s house is in a dan- gerous frame of mind and ought to be caged without unnecessary delay: “Brothers—Remember the glorious ex- ample of Vaillant. Death to the rich man. This is a marked man. Warn all. 2 i WILL OF THE COMMON PEO- Waile this was going on at Mr. Depew's home similar trouble was in progres around the corner in 5th avenue. Watch- man Ryan draws a liberal salary in return for his services at the Vanderbilt man- sion. This stately structure occupies the entire block between Sist and 52d streets, and it is Ryan's duty to keep both eyes on all parts of these extensive premises be- tween the hours of 9 o'clock night and 7 o'clock morning. In the dawn of yesterday morning he stood at Sth avenue and 52d street, con- | gratulating himself upon a night of con- clentious watchfulness, when something ut natural on the familiar corner arrested his attention. Something white stood out of the brown stone of the main fence post against which he had been leaning. He found there a neatly written placard iden- tical in all respects with the one plastered upon the front of Mr. Depew’s residence. It was said that the residences of Messrs, John D. Rockefeller, H. M. Flagler and C. P. Huntington were also decorated with these warnings. From the wording of the warnings they Would seem to be the work of organized cranks, but the police scout the idea.

It is a generally admitted fact that wo- men who live in the country age more rap- idly than their city sisters, and this is pre- sumably due to the fact that the lives of the former are so full of monotony and s0 limited in purpose. It should be possible, however, for women in the most retired lo- calities to know the stimulus of association with other minds. : ‘There are few places where a number of earnest women could not, by determined effort, arrange for monthly or sem!-monthly gatherings, which could be made rich in imspiration. The church sociable, the sew- ing circle, the mothers’ meeting are not the gatherings referred to in this connection. Any meeting which gives women opportu- nity for idle gossip is not stimulating in any true sense. The mind must be occu- pied with noble thought before life can be- come enriched or quickened.

It is not an unusual thing for @ man sojourning in a big city to come home to his hostelry so fatigued that he is not sure about his own name, but a guest in the Palmer House found himself in a stranger predicament than that. A well-dressed gentleman with a close- cropped beard walked up to the cashier and asked for his bill. He wanted to make a train in fifteen minutes. “What is the name?” asked the cashier. '8 face, excuse for not an- swering the clerk's question, he turned away and paced up and down for a minute or two. Then he rushed to the register and scanned its pages eagerly, but without any apparent relief. The hotel people to regard him with suspicion, but Mr. Town- send finally approached ‘him kindly and askel what was the matter. Then the guest confessed. He said he had come to the hotel the day before and had registerea under an assumed name. “There are some people,” have forgottea the name I put on your reg- ister.” The books were overhauled and the name was found in time to enable the man to reach his train. The name he naa used was M. M. Short, but he told nobody his real angnamea iMOODY AND SANKEY| They Hold Another Immense Meet- ing at Convention Hall. MR. MOODY'S TALK 10 CHRISTIANS What is Needed to Help the Word of God. THE POWER OF SONG An audience, a congregation, @ concourse of people—such a gathering as few *men have ever had un opportunity to address— this was what faced Mr. Moody last even- ing. A sea of faces upturned toward the orator, back of him a smaller sea of faces, and yet more than often gathers in a church; and what came they out for to see? A man preaching the word of God; calling sinners to repentance? Yes, some of them, thousands of them, to turn a willing ear to the message of love and peace as brought by a man who has carried the message to Perhaps more people than any other man of the present generation. Many came from idle curiosity. They had heard the word of God and had not heedod. And now here is a man said to have a wondrous power to save souls to Christ. “He is said to have made an impress upon the hearts of many. Can he reach mine? Perhaps;’I will go and see.” If the great Son of Truth himself had appeared in Convention Hall last evening He would have been reminded of that other time and that other scene when He gave to the world the parable of the sower. Some seed fell upon the wayside and some vpon stony ground, but some fell upon fertile ground and brought forth good fruit. so it Waiting in the Drizs! is with the crowds that gathered at Con- vention Hall last evening for the Moody and Sankey meeting. The seed was sown with a generous hand. Who can say what the harve: hall be? Mr. Moody's address was not a long one and the whole service was over by 9 o'clock. He took for the subject of his discourse the qualifications for successful Christian work. These he took up one by one; first faith, then courage, enthusiasm and perse- verance. None of these, he said, would avail without the others. The need of the firstghe exemplified by the statement that many a man, perhaps every one, in the army of the Israeliees believed that God gould ald him in working or battling for Him and His cause, but there was one man outside the army who belleved that God on highest form of vocal art, but there can be: Israelites they did not go into the land, no denying that it is a very moving style. Mr. Sankey, as a singer, knows his voice and what he can do with it. As on Wed- nesday night, he accompanied himself upon a small organ, the notes of which could be heard but a few feet from the platform. With his head thrown back, he poured forth a volume of sound which filled thi vast hall—a tidal wave of song that roll over the hy of his hearers, filling their ears and their hearts with the fullness of the words of love and comfort Mr. Moody's Personality. Few men have such an interesting per- sonality as has Mr. Moody, the great Preacher. He talks from a small stand that projects a few feet from the platform on which is seated the mammoth choir of fifteen hundred voices. There is no sign of @ pulpit, no reading desk, no attempt at display. Mr. Moody stands with his hands resting on the railing in front of him, and talks in a free, connected manner, earnest, but not impassioned at first. His gestures are not many, but they are well used, and graceful. Mr. Moody does not look at all “like a preacher,” as the phrase has it. As he stood last night before this vast con- course of people, had it not been for the little church organ beside him on the plat- form, he might have been a speaker ad- dressing a political meeting; he might have been a barker or a business man in any branch of life speaking on any subject whatever. His methods are of the’ simplest description. He talks right at his hearers, not over their heads. His words pour out in a steady stream, following each other so rapidly that it seemed as though they must trip over each other; but they do not. There is never a break in his line of thought. He speaks without notes; he talks to his crowd, just simply talks, doesn't preach. He is intensely practical. He knows what he wants to do with his audience,and he goes toward his goal, the hearts of his hearers, with a directness that is surpria- ing. His words are warmed by the fire of enthusiasin. From some points of view Mr. Moody bears a striking personal resemblance to ex-President Harrison. He is u larger man than Mr. Harrison, and is considerably lar- ger around the waist, but in other ways he is not at all unlike. marked. His training as a revivalist shows itself here. As he talks he becomes more animated. and his gestures take more force. He has not the slightest objection to his hearers enjoying a laugh while he talks. He often runs in a simple jest or a droll story to point a moral. He wants to keep his hearers interested, and this he succeeds in doing to a marked degree. There was not would aid him, and that man, David, went forth and slew the terrible Goliath. This was the way Mr. Moody talked and proved his points as he took them up. The Immense Congregation. From the beginning of the service to the close the vast congregation took a person- al interest In all that was said and done, an interest that was surprising in such a tremendous crowd. And it was an immense crowd. It was quite as large as the crowd that was present on the first evening of the series. The unpleasant weather had not the slightest effect on the attendance, and at 6:30 o'clock, when the doors of Convention Hall were thrown open, there were already more than 2,000 people standing outside, By 7 o'clock every seat in the big hall was filled. The gallery,.so far away from the speaker's platform that it seemed as though the people there could not possibly hear what was said, was also crowded. The platform for the singers, back of which the speaker stood, and itself as big as en ordinary church, had not a vancant seat up- on it. In the front rows were seated many of the leading ministers from almost every denomination. A number of then were cali- ed upon to take part in the preliminary services and to offer brief prayers esking a benediction upon the work that has been begun under such favorable circumstances. The Great Choir's Work. As on Wednesday evening, one of the most Interesting features of the service was the music furnished by the great choir. The hymns sung were for the most part familiar ones to the old tunes so dear to many a Person present from earliest childhood. In many of these the congregation joined with hearty enthusiasm. Mr. Percy S. Foster, who officiates as the leader of the choir, is a tall, fine-looking young man, with a deal of magnetism and the faculty of inspiring those under his baton with an enthusiasm to do their best The Sheep That Was Lost. @ person in the hall who could not under- stand the whole of Mr. Moody's address. Last evening Mr. Moody did something rather unusual for a revivalist; he talked las to a guthering of Christians, believers who, it might be, needed some awakening, but yet believers. The Meeting Open The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. E. D. Bailey of Central Union Mis- sion, and afterward the chorus sang the hymn, “My Faith Looks Up to Thee.” Dr. Corey followed with a short prayer, in which he asked that a special baptism from on high might descend upon the audience, that indifference might be banished and that from the gathering might go forth a widespread influence for good upon the national capital and the country. Then Mr. Sankey read the parable of the lost sheep to illustrate that one lost sheep which is found is more precious than the ninety and nine which were not lost. When he had finished reading the. parable, Mr. Sankey sang the solo of the hymn, “There Were Ninety and Nine,” playing his own accompaniment on the organ. Every word which he pronounced was as clear and distinct as could be, and could be heard in the furthermost corner of the “Let us all unite in silent prayer and ask the Lord to bring back the wanderers to us said Mr. Sankey when the last note of the organ died away. Then,after a moment, Dr. Wilson of New York city took up the SS Mr. Moody. work. The result was that there was such singing as is not often heard anywhere. At first their work was not up to the very best, but as hymn followed hymn, the singers warmed up with the spirit of the occasion and there poured forth a wonderful volume of sound. The singing began a half hour ahead of the regular service. When Mr. Moody and Mr. Sankey came in they stepped up onto the platform quietly, and as Mr. Moody reached the front he turned toward the choir and culled for hymn No. 318, “Am I a soldier of the cross, A_ follower of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His name? “In the name of Christ, the King, ‘Who hath purchased life for me, Thro’ grace I’ll win the promis’d crown Whate’er my cross may be.” As the notes of the hymn died away Mr. Foster ted himself at the organ, and with Miss Carrie Kidwell sang with excel- lent effect the duet, ‘Home at Last,” to the old sweet tune of “Far Away.” Then Mr. Moody called for more music, “No. 878," he said. “We'll sing that—378. We want all the congregation to join in the chorus. You all know it. ‘His mercy flows an endless stream.’ Let all join in.” At the conclusion of the song Mr. Moody was ready for another. “We will open the meeting by singing the 229th hymn, ‘My faith ks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary,’” he said. Ap Earnest and Fervid Meeting. It was an earnest, a fervid meeting, the like of which few, if any, who were present had ever seen before. It was @ vast body, but through it all pulsed the same feeling. Little Ly little the people warmed up under the influence of music and the words of the eloquent preacher as he prayed for a gen- erous and lasting revival of religious inter- est in the city of Washington. First a hymn, then a brief prayer, followed by the reading of a selection of Scripture, then another hymn, a solo by the man who bas sung the songs of Christ all over Christen- dom; such was the beginning of the meet- ing; this the method pursued by the great pair of revivalists to work their hearers up to the proper state of religious enthusiasm. Mr. Sankey sang the song of the ninety and nine, and the one that was lost and was | found. He sang with something of the dramatic manner which so often character- “tears- It may not be the | izes the singer at a revival—the i in-the-veice” manner, prayer and made a short invocation. Tne forty-second hymn was then sung by the chorus, with the cornet accompaniment. The Scriptures Read. Mr. Moody read an extract from the book of Joshua, the story of the Lord’s command to Moses to lead the children of Israel into Jordan. The promises of the Lord to be- stow benefits upon the Israelites were read at length and the injunctions which He laid upon them. At the conclusion of the reading Mr. Moody requested the choir to rise and sing the three hundred and sixty-third hymn, “I will lift up mine eyes.” “Let us again look to God for His bless- ing,” said Mr. Moody, at the close of the hymn, and Bishop Hurst pronounced the rn geet He invoked a blessing upon the la- rs of those taking part in the services and prayed that every prodigal within sound of his voice would arise and comé unto God. Mr. Moody announced that next Sunday afternoon at 3 he would preach to women and at 7 in the evening would preach to men. There is no different gospel for the sexes, he sald, but by dividing the audience twice as many people can be reached. When Mr. Moody announced that the thirty-eighth hymn, “Blessed Assurance,” would be sung, he requested the audience to rise and join the chorus. Mr. Percy 8. Fos- ter led the singing and the entire audience took part. A Talk to Christia: “I want to call your attention tonight to some of the causes that help the word of God,” began Mr. Moody. “This week I want to speak to Christians. If Christians do not have a desire to be useful they are not real Christians. If we are real Christians we must be about our Father’s work. We must have faith to be an efficient worker for God. No man can be a successful worker without faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God. If we are to have successful Hymn Books in Demand. work in Washington we must have faith. I heard a Scotchman make this remark, ‘that there was not a man in all of Saul’s but who believed that God could use them to defeat the enemy, but there was one boy who believed that God would use him, and he went out and slew Goliath.’ There is a difference between believing that God can and God will.’ Then he recited the story of the ten spies who went into the land of the song of Anak and came back and told fear- ful tales. But others came back and told another story and the dangers were laughed at. It was just the different way of looking at obstacles. That's just the way here. We must not let the obstacles in the way af- fright us. We want the power of God and the obstacles look smaller. On account of the cursed unbelief of the His beard is aboui as | gray, and trimmed in the same way. When: he begins to speak the likeness is not so | but turned back into-the desert and diej. “I don’t believe that God ever will use a man uraged and cast down. He has always used men of courage. God’s words to Joshua were to keep courage. God won't have a man that he can’t test. Joshua was man full of courage and he was a success all his life. Turn to the last pages of that book and you will see the results of his courage. It is just so now; if we meditate upon the Lord day and night these ob- stacies will take wings and fly away. Faith looks over mountains and over seas and sees no obstacles. God has decreed that every knee shall bow to Him and that Christ's reign will continue from one end of the earth to another. It’s bound to come. Thank God for the outlook! Keep up your courage and we will have success right here in Washington. Enthusiasm is Wanted. The third element of success that you want--and some of you people in Wash- ington don’t seem to like it—is enthusiasm. As soon as you begin to arouse enthusiasm old fogies begin to shake their heads and say: “Fanaticism! Wild fire!’ They say that there is too much religious excitement. Why, there is more enthusiasm in the saloons of Washington in one night than in all the churches in a year. You never see a Sunday school teacher without en- thusiasm who is worth anything at all.” Mr. Moodey then gave a humorous exhibi- tion of a weak-spirited Sunday school teacher and said that the way to succeed with a class of boys is to get in among them’ and arouse enthusiasm. How Is it that merchants and politicians succeed? Why, they co into their business with fire and enthusiasm, and that's what we want in the Word of God. Phil. Sheridan was Worth 10,000 ordinary soldiers, because he @roused the boys and stirred them up. Garibaldi was another such man. He arous-! ed the people. Let us have enthusiasm in | Washington and stir ‘em up! ‘We want good speakers, men who can arouse their hearers. I wouldn't go across the street to hear some men speak.” Mr. Moody recounted the story of the famous speech made by Dr. Duff before the Scot- tish general assembly in his plea for mis- sionaries for In “As a result of that speech men volunteered in all parts of | Scotland to go to India. And let me say to you, old men and women, if you can’t go out into the thickest of the fight you can, | at least, pray. There is virtue and en-| couragement in prayer. If you can’t do| more than cheer us, why, do that. When we.are full of fire and enthusiasm one man can chase a thousand and two can put ten thousand to flight. Perseverance Needed. “Another thing we need is perseverance. Tke men who succeed are those who work right along, month in and month out. | There are four men I am going to look out for when I go to heaven. They lived in Capernium in the time of Christ. They're the elders who came to witness Christ's work just to see what was done and the way it was done. There are just such peo- | ple here. They only came here to see what Moody is going to do. But those four men of Capernium were not of that kind. They brought the palsied man to Christ to be | healed, but the elders and the philosophers who only came to see crowded the way and would not let them in. So they took the man up to the roof and let the palsied man down through a hole. They shook dust down — the heads of those old philoso- phers. It woke them up. You have to star- tle some people to shock them. There are lots of men that you can’t reach In the reg- ular way; you have to let them through the roof or some other irregular way. “Take the case of an infidel, for instance, here in town and set four men after him. Let one man call on him early in the morn- | ing and ask him to go down to hear| Moody. The infidel refuses. Pretty soon the second man comes around after him and he refuses in, Then the third man | comes after h d he refuses, but with | less firmness. ally, when the fourth | man comes, the intidel is curious that so much interest is being taken in him and he agrees to go. Tha’ the way with some men. You have to dig them out. ight your torch and carry the gospel into every home in Washington,” said Mr. | Moody, in conclusion. When he had finish- ed he asked the congregation to rise for the benediction, which was pronounced by Rev. Dr. Butler, and the congregation was dis- missed. THE OVERFLOW MEETING. Assembly Chureh Again Filled With a Great Congregation. The overflow meeting at the Assembly Church, 5th and I streets, was very large and the edifice was filled. The meeting was conducted by Rev. C. D. Bailey of the Central Union Mission for half an hour until the arrival of Mr. San- key. Mr. Bailey spoke on the text, “The Wages of Sin is Death,” relating some of his experiences with. sin and depravity in the larger cities of the country. At the close of Mr. Bailey's talk Mr. San- key having sung for the congregation up at the big hall, came in, bringing his or- gan with him, and, with the aid of some of the ministers, it was lifted to the platform. After singing a few hymns Mr. Sankey preached a sermon on “The Word of God as a Weapon of Christ.” He spoke of the pow- er which the Bible gives to people to com- bat sin, and said that one of the most com- forting things in the whole Bible is the promise found in the 6th chapter of John, Verily, I say unto you, if ye believe in Me ye shall have eternal life.” He construed this promise to mean that everlasting life begins right here, and just as soon as mun’s heart is opened to the love of the Lord. THE FIRST AFTERNOON MEETING. Congregation: Charch Packed Listen to Mr. Moody. The afternoon meeting held in the First Congregational Church yesterday was at- tended by an audience that completely fill- ed the church. The hour was set for 3 o'clock, but at 2:30 the church was packed, and Mr. Moody commenced the service: Several hymns were sung by the congre- gation and Mr. Sankey sang a solo, and, after prayer, Mr. Moody began his talk. He exhorted the people upon the subject of prayer. There are ten essential things that we ought to bear in mind when we pray. The first is adoration. He is often shocked at himself to find himself talking so flippantly with God, as though he were on an equal- ity with Him. We must bear in mind that is pure and we are vile; that we are sinful and He is righteous. It is when we come to Him in a spirit of humility that we are received. When Abraham feil down on his face before God there was an an- swer to his prayer. And when Moses took his shoes from off his feet before the burning bush his prayer answered. Then we moust confess our sins. A sin un: fessed is like a bullet in the body. It ts a for- eign substance, and we cannot be healthy while we carry it.

The member says a portable observation stand,” viewing out-of-door processions has been | are,” continues the writer,” “ hard--oh, such hard benches, with @ sin- gle square oak rail for a back.
