For some time past the residents of a house on F street southwest between vth and 10th streets have been missing their milk every morning and have had to drink their coffee clear. They notified the police of the precinct, and yesterday morning early Officer Troeter caught a small pick- arinny walking off with two cans of milk from the front steps of the house. This morning the lad was before Judge Kim- ball charged with being a suspicious party. “Guilty, jedge, yo’ honoh,” said the boy, who gave his name as Rudolph Hollis. He was a little bit of a boy, just a regular boy, as black as night, in a ragged com- bination of garments that would have bet- ter fitted a grown man. The judge had evidently forgotten a boy’s capacity for milk, for he asked Rudolph what he was going to do with all that milk. “I was goin’ to drink it.” “What, drink three quarts of milk?” “Yas, sir.” “I don’t believe that. You were going to take it home. Have you ever been ar- rested before?” ‘ “No, sir, and I don’t intend never to get brung here no more.’ “All right then, you can have the short- est time I can give you in the workhouse. Ten days.” _— ‘The Shakespeare Club. ¢ The Shakespeare Club was entertained on Saturday evening by Mr. and Mrs. borin M. Saunders at their home on Washington Heights.

MORE MARVELOUS THAN EVER, Builders’ Exchange Hall Crowded To Witness Dr. Damon Care the ik, Humanity—The Lame W: Blin the Deat Shout See, and the and Al Hear, Praises. The lecture and clinte given by Dr. Damon last night was a complete surprise to many, for @ jore skeptical audience never gathered in that all. It was not long, however, before skepticism gave way to surprise, and that to @ full belief In this new method of healing the sick. Out of twenty patients treated not one failure was made, and we will venture to say that many of that number had tried dozens of physicians and had theu given up bope of ever being helped, but when relief did come their Joy knew no bounds. One old man, who had been deaf eleven years, was made to hear a whisper. Several cases of paralysis Were able to walk without crutch or cane in a few minutes. One lady, who bad suffered for years with lumbago, was cured in five minutes by the doctor holding bis hands om ber back. Mrs. Mary Sbeiflin was cured of a lume shoulder in about three minutes, while Mr. Henry Benson, who had lost the use of one leg from an injury to the nerve, was restored so that he walked up and down the stage perfectly. These free clinics at the ball are given for the benefit of those who are unable to pas, while those who are able and willing to pay for treatment will find Dr. Damon at his new and permanent offices, 608 12th street northwest, sec: ond door from F street. One case that attracted the closest attention was that of a woman having & large double goitre. When she presented herself for treatment the doctor called several people to the stage to examine it. He then placed his hands upon it, say five minutes, when, to the astonishment of every one present, the one on the right side had entirely disappeared, and but little of the one on the left side remained. This brought a hearty round of applause. Several other equally as wonderful cures were made during the clinic. Mr. Charles Hildreth, who was treated a year ago for epilepsy, told the writer that he was cured by Dr. Damon, and bad never had a return of the trouble. Next Sunday evening another clinic will be given. Those who want to consult Dr. Damon will find him at 60S 12th street northwest. It Pulizai; | | THE HARVEST FIELD! Of Men’s Lives and the Orop They Gather. AS THEY SOW 80 SHALL THEY REAP ‘Mr. Moody’s Earnest Talk to Men Last Evening. Seana a GEES THE “WOMEN’S MEETING A city of people laughed, wept and prayed with Moody and Sankey last night. The multitude was there to hear, and under the influence of reason, eloquence and song, thousands saw the great truth which Mr. Moody comes to preach. Hundreds cume simply to see the much-talked-of man, and to these Mr. Moody directed many of his remarks. It was a meeting especially for men, but many ladies disregarded this sex distinction and attended. Bonnets dotted the audience, and bits of feather and ribbon brightened the scene. The choir, brilliant with as many colors as Jacob's coat, made @ radiant background for the host of duil- clad males. Scores of Congressmen and Senators occupied seats on the platform and gave Mr. Moody close attention. At 7:30 Musical Director Foster twirled his baton once, twice, thrice, and the mighty choir burst forth in song. They were sirging W. H. Doane’s “Hide Me’’- “Hide Me, Oh, Savior; Hide Me in Thy Holy Place.” The grand volume of tone rolled through the hail and quickened the | pulse und, tingled the blood of the people. Quickly following this came “I Will Pass Over You,” by James McGranahan; “When God the Ways of Life Will Teach and Gather All His Own.” Sankey’s song, “Truth is the Victor," came next, and its | Stirring words, “Encamped Along the Hills of Light, Ye Christian Soldiers, Rise," swayed the multitude as only music can. Hymn No. 318, “A Soldier of the Cross,” was next sung, with its opening word: “Am I a Soldier of the Cross? a Follower oz the Lamb?” Mr. Moody Assumes Charge. A. 8. Sullivan’s hymn, “Onward, Chris- tian Soldiers,” made the people feel like marking time to its martial ring. “Be- loved Now Are We” followed, and as the last verse was being rendered, Mr. Moody tcok his seat on the platform. He made himself comfortable in a big arm chair, which he filled completely. He opened the hymnal, and his lips moved, but his voice was not audible. The choir gave McGrana- han’s “Hallelujah for the Cross.” Mr. Moody adjusted his glasses, and with the hymn book open in his hand advanced to the railing of the stand and said: “We will open the meeting by singing Hymn No. Let the whole congregation rise.” There was a roar, grind and rumble of shuffling feet as the thousands of men left their seats. ‘“‘We will sing the chorus @ number of times; just the chorus part, said Mr. Moody. After this, in a reverent tone, he said: “Let us all unite in prayer.” | Rev. Dr. Corey offered prayer. “Oh, | Father,” he said, “Thou giver of every good and perfect gift, we thank Thee for We thank Thee that Thou art plenteous in mercy and that we may come to this conse- crated place. Let Thy divine spirit descend on every soul here.” Dr. Corey asked divine protection for Mr. Moody and Mr. Sankey, and prayed that what might be said would strike into the hearts of those present with irresistible force. “May Thy kingdom come into great power in this city, and may the glory of God be promoted in our midst. May there go out from these meetings a great influence which will kindle a flame of revival on every hearth in the land. Crown this service with Thy blessing.” Mr. Moody, once more adjusting his glasses, said: “I will ask Mr. Sankey to sing No. 265, ‘Throw Out the Life Line.’ ” Mr. Sankey’s Little Story. Mr. Sankey premised his singing by vay- ing that once a ship was coursing across the Atlantic when the cry rang out, “Man overboard.” It of course created a com- motion, but no efforts at rescue were im- mediately made. Once again some one shouted, “Man overboard.” Then one of the men approached the captain of the vessel and said: “Captain, there is a man overboard.” The captain replied, “I pro- pose to rescue that man in the regular way. We have rules for rescue, and they must be obeyed.” Then a seaman rushed toward the captain and exclaimed, “It's your brother. Regular rules were discar ed and the life boat swung out, but it w: too late. “Let us hasten to the rescue, added) Mr. Sankey, “without stopping to inquire as to whose brother it is.” Then he sang to his own accompaniment on the little organ, “Throw out the life line across the dark waves, there is a brother whom some one should save.” At the last words of the touching song, ‘‘Some One is Sinking Today,” the voice of Mr. Sankey faded away into a whiaper, and an impressive stillness fell apon the au- dience. “Let us all unite in silent prayer,” said Mr. Moody, “and after that silent pray: one of the clergymen will lead us. the whole congregation bow their heads?” Rev. Dr. James D. Smith prayed that God, our Father, would listen to the peti- tions that were going up to Him. He pray- ed that the Holy Ghost would fill them with the spirit of right and.that their hearts might be opened to receive the grace divine. He asked God's blessing on the unsaved in the audience, and closed by saying, “Oh, Infinite Christ, let these pray- ers ascend, and may the blessing of salva- tion come.” More Spirited Singing. The singing by the choir of “My Savior Tells Me So” then followed. Mr. Moody announced that the meeting tonight would be for the benciit of both sexes. “If any one of you have to change your positions do it now, so that when I get to speaking everybody in this hall can hear. He made some remarks about the temperature, and asked Mr. Sankey to sing “What Shall the Harvest Be?” “Sowing the seed by the daylight fair; sowing the seed by the noonday glare.” “Let again open our hearts to God in prayer,” said Mr. Moody. Mr. Pugh, sec- retary of the Young Men’s Christian As- sociation, led in prayer, in which he re- membered the unsaved, and invoked Divine consideration for them. “Welcome, Wanderer, sung next by the choir. Mr. Moody pulled out his watch and be- gan by saying that he would read a text, and if the people in the hall didn't get anything else in the music or the prayers or the speaking and should treasure that text in their memories they would be well paid for being present. It was found, he said, in Paul's letter to the Galatians, ‘Be not deceived; God is not mock:-d. What- soever yé sow, so also shall ve reap. He that soweth to the spirit shall reap of the spirit.’ I believed this text twenty years ago,” observed Mr. Moody, “and I believe it twenty times stronger now, and if I live twenty years hence I will believe it harder than ever. It is one of those truths that has burned down in my heart. I wish that God would write it with a pen of iron in the hearts of men. Reason for Unbelief. “Many men did not believe that they would have to reap what they sowed, but men often declared that things were un- true just because they didn’t believe in them. There might be some skeptic in the hall who didn’t believe that wonderful text. If there was such a one let him throw the good book away, but in the course of time he would find out the mighty truth of that text. It was a law and not a new one. Jt had been in force for six thousand years. No matter what position man held, or how rich he might be, yet, as he sowed, so would he have reap. The most deceitful thing in the world was the heart of hu- man kind. “Haven't you swern to yourself that you wouldn’t do such ard such a thing again, and then proceeded immediately to do it? Haven't you condemned things in other people and then turned right around and done ‘those same things yourself? Some of you are looking at each other, but you needn't do that, just look at yourselves. That text is a personal one, and applies to the preacher as well as to the listener. The God of the world was a deceiver, but the God of the Bibie never deceived anybody and could not be deceived. “A man in commercial or farm life ex- Welcome,” was this gathering of men, who have come to} learn the wisdom that shall make us wise. pected to reap what he had sowed; he ex- pected to reap the same kind of seed that he had sown and he expected to reap more of it. This was the reason why he had sowed. He saw men ploughing in the coun- try yesterday and he knew that they were sowing on hopes, hopes that would reap a harvest. Ignorance as to the kind of seed sowed made no difference. As ye sow, 20 also shall ye reap. Seed id the Harv “If you sow wheat, you get wheat, and if you sow tares you get tares. If you stud- ted to be a blacksmith, you wouldn't ex- pect to practice medicine. We are all sow- ing. If you sow lies, you will reap Hes. This is as true of God’s kingdom as it is of man’s. I never saw a lying man but who was surrounded with lies. If I should have a call from a neighbor and should tell my child to say to that neighbor that I had ne away, I would be teaching that child ty lle, and’ it would be but a little time be- fore he would be lying to mie. ra: “I would reap the lie that I haa sown. A merchant once told me that he could do nothing with his clerks. They would all eal. He would get a new one and after little while he would have to discharge him and get another. I told that merchant, that ‘f he had been honest his clerks would have been so too. If a merchant teaches his clerks to impose on other people; to misrepresent goods; to sell goods as im- ported stuff when he and the clerks know that it is not imported, it is only the ques- tion of a little Pate that seve Nite, begin to impose on him. you mal ane seven days a week aud compel him to steal the Lord's day he will steal your money. When a man is always complain- ing of the dishonesty of other people, look out for him, for he is a rascal. If a man says that all the people around him are dishonest, he too is dishonest. Birds of a feather flock together. If you lie to man} he will lie to you.” Liquor Sellers’ Harvest. “You cannot sow whisky without reaping drunkards. A man could not sell whisky without reaping drunkenness, If, I sold a drink of whisky to a man, that than would sell a drink of the same to my son or one of my kinsmen, and I would surely reap what I had sown. No man who sells whisky is pure and happy. He has a skeleton in the closet somewhere. He has some rela- tive who is a drunkard. I do not say this to denounce the saloon keeper, I simply want to remonstrate with them and plead with them to quit the business, Don’t sell out. Don’t sell the stuff. Knock out the bung and let it waste. (Applause.) “No,no, I don’t like the clapping of hands. When a truth takes effect deeply men do not feel like applauding, they want to hang their heads. Don’t let any man talk to me about his Christianity while he has connec- tion with this traffic. No man had ever been in the business but who had been cursed for it in various ways. No man should rent his property, at no matter /how high a figure, for the use of a saloon. The man who did this would reap just as surely as the man who sold the whisky. I am talking facts, not poetry. I once knew a man who rented property to a rum seller, because the temptation of the rent was too much for him to withstand, and all the sons of the renter, four of them,died drunk- ards. Let us see what kind of seed we are sowing.” M->. Moody then launched into a recital of some of his experiences with the factory hands in his early home, Chicago, and of the many questions they would ply him with when he preached to them. He thought that friction of this kind would sharpen up the wits of the preache-s quite a good deal. He told the story of and Esau and of how Jacob had been le to reap what he had sown. Energy of a Lie. “The man who does wrong is lost. When | a man steals my pocketbook I lose my money, but the thief loses heaven. You start a lic and it will come back to you; and it may make a ci>cuit of twenty years, but | it comes back at last. It will hunt you down. You can’t dig a grave so deep that your sins won't be resurrected. Your sin will find you out. Men think they are cun-| ning, and that by their cunning they can avoid the consequences of their wrong do- ing, and hide their sins, but it won't work. As ye sow, so also shall ye reap. I should like to hang up a text in banking houses and big establishments of that kind, where ali the employes could see it, and that text would be, “Be sure your sin will find you out.” “A man can't get away from God. He may go into the west, he may go down into the bowels of the earth and into the mines, but God will find him out.” ; Mr. Moody then told the story of David, Uriah and Ammon. “David sowed murde-, adultery and rebellion,” he said, “and he reaped all that he had sowed. The most unkind thing under the sun is the treat- ment of woman by man aftehshe has been ruined by him. She is ostracised, and you hold your head high, and walk down the aisle of your church or the concert hall, while the woman that you nave wronged weeps and is lost. you think that the score will never be evened up? God may forgive you, but there are certain conse- quences which you will surely have to meet. Seek God if you would be saved. If you are leading a double life, may God Almighty tear the mask from. your face. Oh, hypo- crit! flee from your sins.” Mr. Moody toid @ pathetic story of how a young man in a London garret, who supposed that he was without frien and who at first refused to listen to the word of God, had at last been saved and pardoned, and died in peace with his Maker. “‘Ask for mercy and you can get it. God delights in mercy. Let us ali unite prayer.” Senator Peffer Prays. Mr. Moody offered a fervent prayer, in which he asked that “this great company of men may have their sins blotted out, and may Thy blessing rest upon the care- less and indifferent. Oh, spirit of God, show them Christ tonight. May they be- hold Him’ as the lily of the valley and the rose of Sharon. Let Thy benediction rest kere, and may God's voice be heard tonight in many a man’s soul, calling him from darkness to the light. Make this place awful and solemn.” A few moments were spent in silent prayer. sin choir then broke out with “Just as Am.” Senator Peffer arcse and offered prayer: “Our Father,” said he, “who art in heaven, whose goodness fills the hearts of all Thy trusting children, bless every good influence that has gone out tonight; may the heerts of the multitude be softened; may parent and the boys carry away with them the great truth that what they sow, so also shall they reap.” Senator Peffer prayed espec- lally that the young should be obedient to God. “Let us continue in silent prayer. Ex-Justice Strong arose and prayed for the salvation of the sinner and the trans- gressor. He knew that they would reap the flesh if Almighty God did not interpose his mercy. “Bring us to the foot of the cross, and let us be heirs to eternal life. Hear our prayers.” Mr. Moody then asked those who felt the desire to be saved to act at once. He said that the best thing which he had ever done had been done under the impulse of the moment. He illustrated this with a story of an experience which he had on the Pa- cific coast. Mr. Moody then moved around the audience and shook hands in a kindly way with hundreds of people, while the choir sang. A solo was magnificently sung by Miss Carrie Kidwell. There was a great deal of handshaking, and it was a long time after the close of the service that the hall was cleared. An Audience of Women. The meeting held for women by Moody and Sankey yesterday afternoon attracted first hymn which Mr. Moody called for pre- Mminary to his sermon was No. 61 in the Gospel series, which are used at the meet- ings, entitled, “Casting All Your Care Upon Mr. Moody then took his Bible and read in a strong voice from the fourteenth chap- ter of St. John. “Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God, believe aiso in Me,” he read. When he had concluded with the chapter he sat “I want to call your attention this after- Moon to one of Christ's promises. I will not say it is the best of His promises, but I think it is one of the best aad one of the Sweetest. .A man asked me some years ago what I considered to be the best of Christ's promises. I searched the four Gospels. 1 came to the conclusion that it was as diff_l- cult for a man to answer this question as it would be for a man with a large family of children to tell which one he loved best. I told my questioner that I could not tell, for they were all good. “1 want to say a few words about prota- ises. Some men don’t believe they will be kept, but I assure you that it would be as easy to blot the sun out of the heavens as to break one of the promises that Christ has made. There would be a perfect jubi- lee in perdition if one of them should be broken. Men have been trying in vain for 1,400 years to show that they would not be kept. There are conditions to some prom- ises, and you cannot expect to reap the benefit of such promises unless you keep the conditions.” The Longing for Rest. Mr. Moody then announced that he should Preach from a text in the closing verses of the eleventh chapter of Matthew: “Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” “The cry of the world,” continued Mr. Moody, “is for rest. This longing is the cause that tills places of amusement with Pleasure-seekers. If I wanted to find a per- son who had sought rest and obtained it I would not go among the upper ten or the bon ton or the men of bonds and stocks. These are the people who live to gratify their selfish passions and live for them- selves alone. All your millionaires could Wot buy this rest. “No, there are thousands in this hall and in this city who are more happy than they, and these are those who have found ihe peace of Jesus. They would spring to their feet today, if called, and testify to the truth, how they had found this rest and kept it for ten, twenty and thirty years. It is not a fiction; it is a fact, and if it were not true this text would not be true. But if it were false some one would have found it out in these 1,800 years. It shows that Christ was divine. It shows that this was heaven's divine proclamation. I like a text like this with a sweep, for it includes every one. It goes down the mein hall from the chorus to the gallery, and it escapes no one. It does not matter whether you be black- hearted or tender-hearted. It invites you all to come, and I can look you in the face and proclaim that it means you.” Mr. Moody here interposed an explanation of what he meant by the word come. He said that he had preached a great many sermons trying to tell men how to come, but he had given it up as fruitless. His best explanation of the meaning was in the anecdote of a Scotchman in Edinburgh whom he knew. A man had said he could not come because he was chained with his sins The Scotchman was a man who knew his Bible thoroughly. “Ah, then,” he said, “why don’t you come with your chains?’ An After Meeting. Mr. Moody's sermon was followed by singing, when those who wished to leave the hall were given permission. Their places were filled by the ladies who had re- mained outside during the whole of the ser- vice. Then there was a twenty-minute pray er meeting. Dr. Chureb led in this prayer service, and was followed by Dr. Savarant of the Philadel- phia M. E. conference. Mr. Moody said he would like to have the names and addresses of those who were earnest in seeking salvation, and cards were distributed through the audience. He said he would send to such as wished to | make a request for them copies of various | pamphlets which he had found helpful in learning to live a Christian life. The meeting was closed with what Mr. Moody termed a conversation meeting, he going among the people and taking them by the hand. Dr. B. W. Bond of Front Royal, Va., principal of the Methodist Seminary at that place, offered the closing prayer. Children’s Mee@ng. A meeting for children was held in the afternoon in Calvary Baptist Church, which was to have been directed by Miss Tyson, who has been associated with Moody and Sankey for some time. She was taken ill on Saturday night, however, and had to go to her home in Vienna, Va., near this city. There were upward of two hundred children and their elders at the church in the afternoon, however, and they were ad- dressed by Drs. Green and Hamlin. Extra Meetings for Women. Overflow meetings for women were held at the Assembly Presbyterian Church and at the Mt. Vernon M. E. Church. Rev. E. D. Balley of the Central Union Mis- sion dnd Rev. J. J. Muir of the E Street Baptist Church were assigned to the As- sembly Church meeting, while Rev. Joseph T. Kelly of the Fourth Presbyterian Church and Rev. I, W. Canter of the Mt. Vernon Church were assigned to the meeting at the last-named place. Mr. Sankey left the Convention Hall meeting and arrived at Assembly Church shortly after services had begun. As he was also t» put in an appearance at the Mount Vernon Church during the continu- ation of that meeting his portion of the program was given directly after the open- ing prayer. He sang as a solo No. 300 of the Gospel Hymns, “Satisfied.” This was followed with a short, fervent prayer, tak- ing his inspiration from the words of the song. After Mr. Sankey’s departure for the other meeting place Rev. Mr. Bailey and Rev. Mr. Muir addressed the assemblage, exhorting them all to join in the grand work of salvation which had been so au- spiciously put under way in the city of Washingtor within a few days. There were more people at the Mount Vernon Place Church than could be com- fortably seated long before Mr. Sanke; arrival there. While waiting for him Ri J. T. Keily preached to the people. Rev Mr. Canter followed with a prayer. Mr. Sankey had meanwhile put in an appear- ance, and the hush of expectancy fell over the congregation. He repeated the soio, “Satisfied,” which he had just before sung at the Assembly Church, delivered an ap- propriate prayer, and announced the dis- missal of the congregation, after singing two verses of hymn No. 396, “Revive Us Again.” Men's Overflow Meeting. In the evening the men who were un- able to obtain admittance to the hall were directed to the Assembly Church, where not only enough of the gentler sex to fill Convention Hall completely, but at least 3,000 over, who were turned away. They began to gather at the hall as early as 1 o’clock, and the doors had to be shut at 2:15, three-quarters of an hour before the services were scheduled to begin. The meet- ing opened some time before the appointed hour with the singing of Gospel hymns by the chorus. Rev. J. J. Muir, pastor of the E Street Baptist Church, offered the open- ing prayer. Mr. Sankey followed with a rendering of “‘The Ninety and Nine.” Then Mr. Moody took charge of the meet- ing, and Mr. Sankey went away to sing and exhort at the overflow gatherings.

Penp- of Columivin. there were regular services being held. Mr. Sankey came into the meeting about & o'clock and began singing the Gospel hymn, “What Shall the Harvest Be,” gation joining in the chorus. Before he sang Mr. Sankey recalled many of the as- sociations of the song with his work and some instances he had known good results it had wrought. Dr. Little followed the singing of this and Mr. Sankey said that after such a story he thought it would be appropriate for him to sing “Throw Out the Life Line.” After Mr. Sankey had sung this song he extended an invitation for all who wished to become Christians to stand up and a large number responded. The meeting was closed with the benediction by Dr. Little. _—~— The Desperndo Simmered. From the Kansas City Times. “It seems to me,” said an old cattleman recently, “that Bat Masterson has a repu- tation for bravery when possessed of a six- shooter that is not wholly deserved. One instance cf which I was an eye-witness I will relate, Mastersoh’s younger brother engaged in a fight with a cow puncher named Jack Sayers in Trinidad, Col., and beat Sayers over the head with his gun, Sayers being then unarmed. As soon as Sayers could get a six-shooter he returned and nearly beat Masterson to death with it. Then, fearing the vengeance of Bat, he jumped on his horse and left town. When Bat heard of the trouble he immediately went in search of Sayers, and not with a Pair of opera glasses, either. Not finding his man, he declared vengeance against Sayers’ friends, and was parading up and jown the street with a six-shooter in his hands. No one seemed disposed to dispute his right to the town until Bill Cook, who is now marshal of Clayton, N M., came up and surveyed the scene. Cook asked where the Trinidad police were, and was informed none of them wanted the job of arresting Bat, Some one suggested that Bill take Bat’s gun away from him. Bill said he had no authority in Trinidad, but for the sake of old times would try him a whirl. Walk- ing up to Bat, he caught him by the shoul- der, and as he whirled around jerked his gun out of his hand, at the same time tell- him he didn’t allow any ‘one’ man to run that town. Bill warned Bat to simmer down or they would mix. Bat took the ad- vice and left town on the evening train.” RSL?
