Joshua Thomas of the police schooner Baughman captured two sloops Friday night in Anna- messex river, on the charge of illegal dredg- ing. Aaron T. Bradshaw, who has been guarding the beds in the Annamessex, sent word to Capt. Thomas in the Manokin that three boats had been giving him trouble,and that he was unable to cope with them, Capt. Thomas saw two sloops and a bro- gan sail to Jackson’s bar and dredge from 11 until 2 o’clock, He then sét out in’a bat- teau to, make the arrest, sailing to -the north and coming down upon the dredgers with a free wind. The dredgers, when they discovered the police, wound their dredges on board and tried to escape, but as they had lashed their helms, every flaw brought their vessels into the wind, and Capt. Thomas gained rapidly. They then tried to frighten the officer away with bullets, but the Latteaux was armed with three rifles, and as these were firing about one hundred times per minute, it was unsafe for the dredgers to show themselves. At first Capt. Thomas tried to cut the halyards of the fleeing boats, but as the dredgers were putting a great deal of ginger into their shooting, Capt. Thomas fired into their cabins. One bullet went be- tween Capt. Thomas and John Handy and passed near others of the four occupants of the batteau. Another buliet went through Bradshaw's coat. When Capt. Thomas got to the sloop Ethel Commander Cox came to the sail and said: “I surrender, and here is what I received in the fight, but you didn’t do it. It was one of my own men.” The speaker held up his hand, from which the fingers had been shot away. Another of the crew of the Ethel received a shot in the neck. Capt. Thomas took cnarge of the Ethel and captured the Nettie, commanded by William Parker. Ie might also have cap- tured the brogan, but the tiller of the broke, as it had been cu: by the rifle balls. This rendered the 1 unmanageable. Capt. Thomas brougi’ prizes into Cris- field yesterday, and Dr. Atkinson attended to the injuries of Capt. Cox. Cox is about nineteen years of age. On account of his weak condition, he wes unable to appear before Justice Horsey. Capt. Wm. Parker of the Nettie was ‘ried before Justice }tur- sey and sent to the House of Correction for nine months. John Fuller, a member of the crew of the Ethel, who, it is claimed, did the shooting, was committed to jail to await the action of the grand jury. cee IT PUZZLED THE COURT. The Application of William Lee, a Chinaman, for Naturalization Papers. Judge Clifford encountered a peculiar legal difficulty in Chicago last week, when William Lee presented himself to the court for his naturatization papers to be passed upon. Lee said he was born of Chinese snd English parents, under the British ag, in the city of Auckland, N. Z., in 1873. He came to the United States at the age of fifteen, landing in San Francisco. His father, he said, was born in China 1835, and went to New Zealand at twenty-three years of age, and became a British citizen in 1878. Lee said his mother was born of English parents at Wellington, N. Z. She is forty-two years of age. Both paren's are living in New Zealand at the present time. Mr. Lee resides in Kensington, and has preached to the Chinese in Chicago for some time. The court said he would look up the law for a while, and told Lee to return in a few days, when he would give a decision. ——--_ +06 A Congressional Bill Opposed by Pub- lishers. The American Newspaper Publishers’ Association at New York last week passed a resolution condemning House bill No. 4732, now before Congress, which provides for a censorship for the press, inasmuch as it would give a commission the right determine what adverti: ents of a character should be rejected by ne and what should not. The intent of the bill is to restrain news- papers from publishing certain advertise- ments, among them the advertisements of some of the patent medicine companies. The proposed censorship, it was argued, was unjust, for if an advertisement was not fit for publication no self-respecting paper would print it. The fact that the bill was already before Congress had, it is said, caused a number of large advertisers to put off the drawing up of contracts until sume- thing definite is done with the bill. —— see Low Rates to Baltimore vin B. and 0.

DANIEL UP TO DATE The Evangelist Tells a Great Bible Story. THE LESSON OF THE PROPHETS LIFE Meetings Held Yesterday During the Storm. A GATHERING OF WOMEN Notwithstanding the blinding snowstorm of yesterday afternoon, a crowd of nearly 4,000 people found their way to the Moody meeting and heard one of the most elo- Quent addresses yet made. As usual, the singing was a pleasant feature of the cc- casion, end a surprisingly large proportion of the choir had braved the storm to take Part in the exercises. There were solos by Mr. Sankey and by Miss Alice Kimball,who sang with marked effect the hymn, “*Tis a true and truthful saying, Jesus died for sinful men.” There was an eloquent prayer by Rev. Dr. Hamlin of the Church of the Covanant, who asked for a benediction upon all those who were in the darkness, that would light them with the conviction of His mercy and love. Mr. Moody took for his text the seventh verse from the second chapter of Luke: “And laid Him in a manger, because there ‘as no room for them in the inn.” His talk was largely confined to an expo- sition of the simplicity and the total lack of ostentation that had marked the coming of Christ upon earth. Withal there has been always a marked tendency on the part of the world to refuse a welcome to the Savior. Like the inn of Bethlehem, there is no room for Christ in the hearts of many peo- ple. Princes of earth come and go end their ways are marked by feasting and ju- bilation, but the Prince of Peace, who came to seek and to save, to bless and not to curse, when He came to earth, .nade His appearance in a manger of a lowly stable. it was an earnest and impassioned cd- dress and was filled with many striking expressions of truth. At the conclusion cf the address the meeting was turned into a Christian conversation, and for half an hour exhorters went through the congreg: tion to hold out a hand to those who were in darkness in an effort to lead them into light. Last Night’s Service. Mr. Moody and the Storm King wrestled last night, and the evangelist won. Travel was dangerous, yet thousands of Washing- tontans refused to acknowledge the snow blockade, and faced the discomfort of a bad night, and the danger of a worse cold, to seek the warmth and shelter of consolation at the shrine of Christian counsel. They found it. The electric lamps never burned more brightly; and songs of praise never sounded sweeter, and the eloquent truths of Mr. Moody never fell with a more humaniz- ing influence on the hearts of his auditors. The glow of Christian fellowship inside was heightened by contrast with the dreariness and the bleakness of the outside world. The elements were unheeded, and a throng at- tended. When the services began great Convention Hall was just about half full, but before they closed over two-thirds of the seats were filled. The service was in- tended especially for men. The number of ladies was small, but the sex was repre- sented. Several old ladies were there with little girls, A number of young lassies were well up in front, and they did not seem disturbed at the preponderance of the lords of creation, Under one-half the sin- gers were present, and a goodly majority of these were ladies. Mr. Moody talked of Daniel. He told of the strength and hon- esty of his convictions; of his temptations, his trials, and his triumphs. He drew a parallel between the Godly man and the man of the period, to the disadvantage of the latter. He adjured us to follow the ex- ample of Daniel; to resist temptations; to shun all that is evil; to bow down only to the Great God of Gods, and to stick to the narrow path of honesty and right. Opening With Song. It was a little after 7 when Director Fos- ter ascended his stand. A moment more and an ocean of melodious sound waves rolled through the hall. It was William G. Bradbury’s hymn No. 201 which was being sung. “Holy, Holy, is the Lord” was the title, and its theme had been suggested by the text from Psalms 67:5: “Let all the people praise Thee, oh, God.” “Holy, holy, is the Lord; sing out, ye peo- ple; gladly adore Him; let the mountains tremble at His word; let the hills be joyful by His might, wisdom and boundless mer- cy; great is Jehovah, King over all.” The audience was at this juncture seemingly unsympathetic. But they were yielding to the influence of song. A little rest, and the stirring strains of “In the Shadow of His Wings” pealed forth from the choir, 1t was in the book as hymn No. 40, was com- posed by Rev. J. B. Atchinson and E. 0. Excell, and had in it the inspiration of the text: “Hide me under the shadow of His wings;” Psalms 17:8. Out and along the hall it swelled, putting the listeners more and more in touch with the time as its hopeful words fell on the ear: “In the shadow of His wings there is rest, sweet rest; there is rest from care and labor, there is rest for friend and neighbor, in the shadow of His wings.” “Number 67,” shout- ed the leader; “ ‘Il Looked to Jesus;’ number 67." There was a rapid fluttering’ of pages and a twirl of the baton, and it rai iooked to Jesus in sin, my woe and nt confessing; undone and lost, I came to Him, and sought and found a blessing.” It was written by Ed. Nathan and James Mc- Granahan, and had been built around the words of C. H. Spurgeon: “I looked to Jesus, He looked to me, and we were one forever.” “Number 64. ‘Wait and Murmur Not.’ All together, please.” “O troubled hearts, there is a home, beyond the reach of toil and care; a home where changes never come; who would not fain be resting?” This beautiful hymn was given to the world by W. H. Bellamy and William J. Kirkpatrick, and at i head are these words from Samuel 3:26. is good that a man hope and quietly wait. After this the following hymns were ren- dered in quick succession, and any chilliness which the people had at the beginning was being thawed out at every line: Hymn No. 423, Charles Wesley and Lewis Edson, “Arise, my soul, arise, shake off thy guilty fears; ‘The bleeding sacrifice in my behalf appears. Before the throne, my Surety stands, My name is written on His hand: hymn 386, “As Pants the Hear “Christ, the Fountain, “The Wondrous Cros During all this time Mr. Sankey had been moving around among the people on the platform exchanging greetings with scores of the acquaintances which he has made during this trip to Washington. Mr. Moody Arrives. Mr. Moody had arrived while the choir was singing the above mentioned hymn, and taking a seat on the rostrum, calmly awaited its conclusion. He looked his audi- ence in the eye and seemed the perfection of self-possession. He sat well back in his ample arm chair, and every now and then scratched his beard and finished it off with sort of a smoothing down stroke. As the last word of the hymn faded away, he arose from his seat with a youthful spring, and said with great rapidity, and as though he had said the same thing many times be- fore, “Some friends have requested that we sing 265: Number 265, ‘Throw Out the Life Line,’ number 26%; and the choir will please to sing the chorus."" Mr. Sankey took his seat at the little melodion, adjusted his glasses, played a little prelude and then No. 335, and hymn No. 815, sang the now familiar song, “Throw Out the Life Line.” Mr. Sankey retired, and Mr. Moody said in loud tones and a high key, “Let us sing 49, number 49; Mr. Sankey has to go to another meeting and I'll ask him to sing number 49, and I want you to come in on the chorus.” “The Window Opened Toward Jerusalem” was the next hymn, and after the first verse had been finished, Mr. Moody shouted at the choir, with intense enthusiasm, “Sing the next verse! Sing it ten times louder!” And the words, “Do you see the captive kneeling, morning, noon and night, to pray?” were peculiarly appropriate to the Preaching which was soon now to follow. Mr. Moody said, with a reverent and strong voice: “Let us all unite in prayer.” Rev. Dr. Kelly advanced, and with bowed head offered a prayer, in which he expressed thanks that they could come here in the name of Jesus and life up the prayers which He gladly heard. He asked that the win- dows of heaven might be opened and stated that their souls were crying out for deliver- ance. He asked that God would exert His power and His might and come down in their behalf. He asked that the great truths about to be spoken would find an echo in the hearts of the unsaved people and that they might turn away from evil ways and sinful thoughts to the Lord Jesus Christ. Mr. Moody—‘Let the choir sing 135, num- ber 135, ‘Halleluja for the Cross.’ After this was sung, he said: “Let us again look to God for His blessin; Rev. Dr. George O. Little said that we were thankful for that old, old story of the cross. “Let us come in out of the storm of life and come into uur ‘Home, Sweet Hcme.’” He prayed that souls might be saved and religious principles bé quickened; that those in the audience who came with indecision in their hearts might see the truth. Mr. Moody was growing enthusiastic and his feet marked time to the music. He next said: “I am going to ask Mr. to sing 423, No. 423, and I want every man of you to join in the chorus.” No. 423 was “Dare to Be a Daniel.” “Now we come in on the last verse,” said Mr. Moody. “Sing it out and if you can’t sing say it; it will do you good.” As the choir and congregation would shout forth the words “Dare to Be a Dantel’’ Mr. Moody would clap his hands and sway his body as__ though he were helping the thing along. | “Now, let’s sing it without the choir.” Done. “Now, let’s see if the choir can sing it as well as the congregation.” And the choir did. “Now all together without the orgun.” And the audience obeyed. “Now, everybody all together, the reporters, too.” Mr. Moody next made the announcement for the future meetings and the subjects on which he would dwell in them. He said some little pleasantries that made the audience laugh. He congratulated the people on having braved the storm. He liked stormy weather. If people came out in a storm it showed that they meant business. This audience meant business. “You wouldn’t have come if you didn’t have a purpose in it. I've heard a great deal of the sunny south. I like it. I have | seen it.” (Laughter.) “Now let us get closer together. Let the choir move down here nearer and the people in the back of the hall can move up. There's plenty of seats up this way.” Then there was @ general shuffling and changing of pos!- tion. Mr. Moody held consultation with Mr. Foster and sai ‘Let us sing one more rousing piece.” No. 100 followed— “Onward, ye Christian Soldiers.” Mr. Moody was by this time thoroughly in sympathy with his work and the audience was burning with religious fervor. Talki About Daniel. “I am going to talk about the Prophet Daniel,” said Mr. Moody. “He is one of the very few men in history who have shone all the way through his long life and in whose life there is not to be found a failure. If all the Bible characters were like this one it would be very discouraging to poor mortals like us.” Mr. Moody then told the story of Daniel's removal to Babylon as a captive by NebuchadnéZzar. He was in slavery and he was thrown among idolators, but he took his stand for the right; he refused to yield to tempta- tion. Nine-tenths of the ues of life are won if you start right. le nad many temptations, but he was made of the right metal. It may have been that he was a pupil of the Prophet Jeremiah, for about the time of the captivity of the Jews Jere- miah was teaching the young in Jerusalem. He had the spirit of God in his neart. Once when the king ordered the best and brightest of the young captives to be put to the school of the Chaldeans and to be fed on the same wine and meat as sup- | plied his table Daniel refused this diet and asked the captain of the guard for bread and water. The captain thought that Daniel was making a big mistake in thus disdaining the bounty of his king and ex- | plained that disobedience to this order might not only cost Daniel his head, but | might imperil that of the captain also, for if he should refuse to eat the fine diet provided for the other students at the end of a month he would appear so thin and weak that an explanaticn would be de- manded and the punishment for disobe- dience to the king's order would follow. But Daniel refused to eat of the meat and to drink of the wine of the king and at the time when all appeared before his ma- jesty Daniel and his three companions were as fair and strong and as fat as any of them. If he had beca like the compro- mising Christian of tuday he would have followed the dictates of policy and would have done as the Chaldeans would have him. He woukd have reasoned: ‘Weil, here I am, a thousand miles from home, and if I don’t subm:t my views to those of the ruler off will go my head, and if 1 am to hope for preferment and favors T must be accommodating, and how can I be more accommodating than by doing as those in the highest authority would have me to do” He would have consulted the emergencies of the case. It was then that he fought the greatest battle of his life and won it. He had a purpose in his heart. That is the place to have a purpose. Many men have purposes in the head, put that isn’t the place. Purposes in the head don’t amount to any-hiny. Daniel denied the king’s meat and wine and hy his studiousness had excelled many of the Chaldean scholars If you beat the first temptation you are well on toward vic- tory. If you fall to ‘the temptation of working on the sabbath you are a fallen man. Two years from that time Nebuchad- nezzar had a dream. When he tried to re- call his dream he could not do it. He could not think what it bad all been about. He called up all his wise men. but they could not tell what the king had dreamed ‘and could not divine what the dream m eanantel Interprets the Dream. ‘The king was about to put his wise men to death for failing to satisfy him, when Daniel asked to be given a chance at de- ciphering that dream. He was up in the books of Moses and sought for help from them, but it didn’t come. Then he prayed for a revelation of the meaning of the King’s dream, and laid him down to sleep. His prayer was answered, and the next day he appeared before the king. Said Daniel, “You dreamed of an image with a head of reast of silver.” “That Then Daniel went into the details to the great surprise of all. Then Daniel told the Significance of the dream. Mr.Moody talked for some time on how the subsequent events had proved the correctness of Daniel's interpretation. “Then Daniel was put into office. He didn't forget his friends. He was given all the honors that the king could bestow. Then Nebuchadnezzar erected a great image plated with gold on the plain of Dura. Big preparations were made, as we would say, for the unveiling of the statue. When the band struck up all the people assembled were to bow down before the statue. Daniel and his fellow Hebrews did not. If all the people had been honest and had had their faces to the ground, they could not have seen that Daniel refused to bow down. But some of those people were peeping, just as many Christians do when they are at prayers just like this," and here Mr. Moody placed his hand over his face so that one eye was exposed. ‘These peepers reported that the Jews had not bowed down,but that they had stood stiff as candles, and that if they had fallen in any direction they would have fallen back- ward, This was communicated to the king. who was enraged, but he was determined to give them one more chance, and that if they refused to bow down this time they would be cast into the fiery furnace, Daniel and his friends were stiff kneed and refused to yield. Their religion was of the kind that would stand transportation. Christianity and Office Hold| There are lots of people in Washington who in Virginia or in Ohio are good working Christians,but they are not Christians here, because they don’t know whether the re- publican party or the democratic party will stay in four years longer. I met an old man the other day and asked him if he had allied himself with any church in Wash- ington. He said that he had not, because he didn’t know whether he was going to stay here. “How long have you been here?” I asked. “Twenty years,” said be. (Laughter.) “Oh, yes you laugh, but how many men here are there who bow down before gold? How many men here who say in all their actions, take my honor, so you give me gold; take my name, so you give me gold; take away my principles, so you give me gold; take away everything I have which honor would bid me cherish, just so you give me gold. Don’t bow down before the golden image. Those ancient Hebrews He ordered that the furnace be made seven times hotter than it usually was, and the Jews were to be thrown in. They were bound hand and foot, and the place was so hot that it burned up every man who ap- proached it. Daniel and his friends were thrown in. The king looked down, but lo! and behold, they were unbound and were walking around. Only their fetters had been burned. Not a hair of their head had been scorched, and when they were hauled up, there was not even the smell of fire about them. The Great Shepherd had seen these men and had protected them. They had carried their point. Young men, stand your ground! “If God wants you to take this route, take It. Do as God wants, That's what makes character and principle and all that is noble in man. Men when they are invited to drink, or to gamble, do it often because they have not the moral courage to say no. Say No at the Right Time. “You should say no at the right time. We are all a pack of cowards. After seeing this great miracle. Nebuchadnezzar order- ed everybody to be hewn to pieces who | Should deny the God that Shadrach bowed before. Then the king had another dream, and this time he remembered it. He had dreamed of a tree that reached all the way to heaven. He called in his wise to in- terpret it, and he sent for Daniel. Daniel halted somewhat, he did not like to teil {the king what it meant. about how to do what's right. But a voice the king, ‘Thy kingdom is departing.’ He jeft Babylon and remained away for seven years.” Mr. Moody believed that the light of time had shown that that gentile king and Daniel were walking the crystal streets arm in arm. Daniel had stood up to him and had won him. Mr. Moody read some passages from Daniel. Belshazzar thought that with his walls and with his army the city of Babylon was safe. But at that very time when Cyrus was diverting the course of the Euphrates he was at the banquet praising gods of silver and of gold, when the handwriting on the wall an- nounced the doom of the reigning monarch. The wise men could not read it. Beishaz- zar’s wife recommended that Daniel be sent for. He recognized the writing at once, for it was the handwriting of his |father. .“Mene. Tekel, Upharsin,” were the words, and they were perfectly clear to Daniel. That night Cyrus was bringing his army through by the river's bed, beat- ing back the imperial guard, and soon Bel- thazzar’s blood was flowing. Daniel Fights the Rings. Under the Medes and Persians Daniel was again put into office. As is always the case, a ring was formet. “I don’t know,” said Mr. Moody, “whether they called it Tammany or not. Daniel's honesty and shrewdness was the stumbling block to these ringsters. They could not get any other money than their salaries while the praying old Hebrew was at the king's side. They could not make anything out of the government by paving the streets of Baby- jon, and letting contracts or any of those things by whieh they,might be able to build @ summer residence down the Euphrates and have a winter home in Babylon. They must get rid of the old Jew. They flattered the king and got him to sign a paper mak- ing it a death penalty to bow down before any other god than him for a period of thirty days. This they said to the king would deify him as he deserved, as they had come to the conclusion that he was the | best and wisest monarch that had ever ruled in Babylon. Dariag signed jt. Dan- liel would not refuse to say his prayers three times a day, and thus he violated the law, and was cast into the lion’s den. The news that this was going to happen had spread like wild fire through the city. If | they had had any reporters there, it would have been known in half an hour, and the Associated Press would have wired it all over the world. I can see the young dis- sipated man, the young man who drinks, ; the young man who gambles, smirk in the face of the old statesman as he passed | qjong the streets on the way, it was sup- posed, to his death.” ¢ Lion's Den. “Daniel was undisturbed. He was a pray- jing man. Men nowadays say that they |haven’t time to pray. ‘his old premier , had time, he took time, that’s one of the |reasons he succeeded. Spend a little more | time with God. What this nation wants is jeome more praying men. Daniel was es |calm as a summer evening when he was |put into that den. That night all the ‘gamblers and rum-sellers and harlots in the } town made merry over the death of the old praying Jew. If he had the points of the compass, he turned his face toward Jerusa- lem and said his prayers in that den. He used a lion for a pillow. They did not harm him. He had God in his heart, and God ‘protected him. That night Darius became | toubled at his rash deed. The next mucrn- jing he was up at daylight and with his | chariot was dashing toward the den where |Dantel was confined. Arriving ihere he shouted, ‘Oh, Daniel, is thy God able to |deliver thee from the mouth of a lion? |'That morning Daniel breakfasted with the king, and short work was made of the 120 | princes who had entered into the conspir- jacy which had resulted in the casting of | Daniel into the den. He has been gone 2,500 years and yet he shines brighter ow than ever, Oh, how he shines; and if the !church of God endures, 2,500 ‘years from | mow he'll shine still more brightly. If you jare tempted to take a drink, hurl the cup from your lips. Put a purpose in your heart that you won't drink, that you won't curse, that you won't lie, that you won't be a dishonest man. “Let us have ‘Dare to be a Daniel’ by the choir once more. All please rise.” Mr. Moody stepped down and Mr. Foster came to the front. “Just be seated a moment while Mr. Movre leads _ us in prayer,” said the great evangelist. Mr. Moore made an effective prayer that the lesson taught by the speaker would take a firm hold on all those who had heard it. Then followed several hymns and a little prayer. Mr. Moody moved around shaking hands with the audience and saying good and pleasant things. Mr. Moody on Sabbath Work. After the close of the services, The Star man gathered up his copy and tramped down town, After stopping at a lunch house for a few minutes he moved on again. The snow was ankle deep on the car track, and that was the only part of the street where walking was at all possible. The wind was blowing and it was altogether the most uncomfortable night of the winter. A rotund man was trudging along. He had an overcoat, of rather thin material, buttoned closely around his chunky figure: a little hat pulled down over his ears, a white handkerchief tied around his neck,and thick soled, square-toed boots without rub- bers. He was crossing 7th street and fol- lowing the car track along G. It was Mr. Moody. The reporter at once hailed him and the two walked along to the coraer of lith and F. Mr. Moody explained that he was not in a cab, or a carriage or a street car, because he would not patronize any- thing which compelled men to labor on the Sabbath. He would not read a Sunday Paper, even though it was made up on Saturday. He talked very fluently of things in general, and said pleasant things about his treatment in Washington, the choir, and other things close to the Washington heart. From Washington he goes to Norfolk for a stay of ten days, and from there to Rich- mond. When the reporter told him that he was on his way to the office to write up the story of the meeting so that it would be in the hands of the printer early in the morning, Mr. Moody gave him a sound Were men of pluck, and the king was mad. | came to him from heaven, and it said to! j lecture on the disastrous results flowing: | from the desecration of the Sabbath.
