Turner told the woman that they must separate, Turner is in an unconscious condition, and the doctors have no hopes of his re- covery. His mother is dying from the shock. The woman was arrested. She is twenty- six years old, a handsome brunette, and is said to have come trom San Francisco avout five years ago.

WORST OF THE KIND IN THE REGION Thirty-six Boilers Were Totally Demoli-hed. WORK TO BE STOPPED SHAMOKIN, Pa., October 11—Four men were killed, two were fatally injured and several others were painfully burned by a disastrous boiler explosion that occurred at the Henry Clay colliery early today. The entire steam-supplying plant of the mine, consisting of thirty-six boilers, was totally demolished, and in addition to the monetary loss, which will aggregate $30,000, the Henry Clay, Big Mountain, Sterling and Peerless collieries will be unable to resume opera- tions for at least a month. The explosion is the worst of its kind that has ever occurred in this region, and its cause is a mystery. The dead and injured were: Thomas Carr, foreman; leaves widow and three children; one arm and one leg blown off and body cut in two. William Boyle, fireman; leaves widow; horribly crushed and lacerattd about the body; dead when recovered. William E. Slick, aged eighteen years, neck broken and both hips fractured; died a few minutes after being found. Peier Heck, fireman, side of head crush- ed and severe internal injuries; cannot re- cover. Jacob J. Didiam, water boes of Mahanoy Valley, married, scalded and crushed about the abdomen and legs; cannot recover. John McLaughlin, fireman, both legs broken and head crushed; died two hours after the accident. John Flenkenstein, married, received very serious injuries about body; may recover. Derris Brennan, seraper boy, struck in the fave with brick; not dangerous. William Quimm, lampman, of Springfield. ESS = STS RETURNED TO WORK. Operatives Go Rack After a Se Weeks’ Strike. NEW BEDFORD, Mass., October 11.—The operatives In five corporations went back to work this morning, after being on a strike for seven and a half weeks. In the Acushnet and Hathaway mills, which are under one management, the weavers refased to go in, but many of them sought work In other mills. The mills which started up were the Potomska, Wamsutta, bristol, Grinnell and Pierce mills. ‘The weavers in the Wamsutta mill No. 7 left the mill on finding they were required to run five looms instead of four. They held a meeting and voted to strike. EEA SEES ILLNESS OF THE AMEER. From the Capital of Afghanistan, SIMLA, India, October 11.—A private let- ter received here from Cabul, the capital of Afghanistan, says that the ameer, Abdur Rahman Khan, is seriously il. Much sick- ness has been recently reported at Cabul. In view of the complications which have arisen in the far east and the fact that England has been endeavoring to prevail upon the ameer or his s visit England shortly the reported s of the ameer may be a ruse adopted in order to avoid such a visit at the present moment. Report Sent INFORMED ON WRECKEKS, They Pulled the Spikes From the Rails and Planned a Di: er. DENVER, Col., October 11.—Soon after midnight a bold attempt was made seven miles south of Denver to wreck an east- bound Santa Fe passenger train for the purpose of robbery, it is belleved. Spikes were pulled from the rails, and the engine, baggage car, coach, chair car and sleeper ran off on the ties. The damage was trifling and no one was hurt, but the track will be blocked five hours. The ground of the rob- bery theory is that a man called at South Denver early in the night and intimawd that the train was to be wrecked and : Oruecs were given for It to proceed slowly, but it was not supposed that the attempt would be made so near the city, and the train was running at a speed of eight miles an hour. There is yet no clue to the miscreants. LAWLESSNESS AT RENO. A Young Man Shot by a Footpnad— Two Ladies Attacked. RENO, Nev., October 11.—Lee Hawcroft, @ young man twenty-six years old, was shot and fatally wounded by a footpad early last evening. He was waylaid by a map with a handkerchief over his face, who demanded his money. When Hawcroft said he had no money the man pulled a »is- tol and Haweroft grappled with him. The robber shot him through the breast and escaped. The town is full of desperate characters, aud half an hour before this —" two ladies were attacked at the lepor. —— ANOTHER INDUSTRIAL ARMY. It Proposes to Lenve California for ‘This City in the Spring. OAKLAND, Cal, October 11.—It tran- spires that another industrial army is being formed in this city by Gen. Kelley, and if all goes well until next spring another army will commence a tedious march to the capi- tal. The present headquarters of the army is a big tent on 8th street, which is used as a mecting place in the daytime and a place of rest at night by the overworked mortals and brake-beam tourists that comprise the latest addition to the great body of tramps that infest California during the winter. —_— GOING TO CORFU.

The music was & feature of the service, and not the least delightful part was a solo by Miss Cuthbert Buchner, who sang for the first time in this church, although she will choir. was a member of when he had a charge there, before he came to Washington. The Bishop’s Ad The regular morning service of the Eplis- c¢pal Church, somewhat shortened, was read, ard then Bishop Paret began his ad- dress, His charge was a carefully prepared and eloquently worded effort, and was lis- tened to with the very closest attention. He referred briefly .to. the history of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, and at greater length to its aims and purposes. He char- acterized the very simplicity of its aim as one of its greatest elements of strength--to bring young men into the church. From this he west on to tell of the possibilities for greater usefulness ready for the brother- hood. The bishop sald: I must, first of all, thank you, dear brethren, as a brotherhood, and as its in- dividval members, for your kindness in g:anting my request that this convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew should be held in the dioces of Maryland, and in this city of Washington. The hearts of all church people here are warm toward you. I pray that your own work may be greatly strengthened by your deliberations and ac- ticn. And I am sure that the chureh work and life in this city and diocese will be stimulated by your earnestness and zeal. On behalf of the clerey, the parishes and Daft G. Maynard, the people of the chiteh, I give you most hearty welcome. We pray not only for your present satisfaction in thls assemblage, but for the lasting and growing success of your great work We are very near té'the year of our Lord 1900, Fifty five years from this time will bring us to the year 19%, Will this Broth- erhood of St. Androw be'still in existence then? If so, what will {t be? How changed from its present lines of organization? What will be its relation to the church? What its history? Its frufts? What will it have accomplished? WHat will be its work and purpose then? You will tell me, perhaps, that it is a long time for looking forward. For myself, brethren, P take with absolute literalness ‘and absolute faith our Lord’s clear words, when He said: “Of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the an- gels which are in heaven.” It may be that before the year J haye named there will have been the day of His appearing, the great day of the Son of Man. Or if the earth be still rolling on, peopled as now with souls still looking forward to His coming, for nost of us, at least, our part in it will have been closed. Very few of us hore pres- ent tcday will then be living. None, it is al- most certain, will be workers, The young man of twenty-five today, if then living, will be a weak old man, a tottering veteran of eighty; and the most youthful will have passed the line where we gladiy give up to younger hands and brighter ambitions the realities and responsibilities of active work and care. Why then should we trouble our- selves about that distant future? Why take thought for the morrow? Why anticipate what will then be th? duties and respoustbill- ties of others?Why not simply and trustfully go on with our own immediate tasks; do our own immediate duties; “Live in the living present” and trust the future to God and to those whom He may call to live and work and bea” the burdens in that future?” After dweliing at some length upon their responsibility for the future, the bishop con- tinued: Fature of the Brotherhood. I come back, then, to some of my more definite questions. Will those who may be living in the year of our Lord 1950 find this brotherhood still in existence? It is possi- ble, but it 1s not certain. This brotherhood tegan very quietly and simply, and with no great plans or mighty purposes. But organ- izations which began far more simply still, and with far less detinite purpose, have grown from plan to plan, from purpose to higher purpose; have made for themselves, or God has made for them, a permanent place and part in the forward movements of humanity. And ters have been organiza- John W, Wood. tiens with beginnings far Brander and aims far bolder, with far stronger apparent pow- er and much more ecaréful organization, which have been found on trial not to be needed, and have died quickly out of exist- ence and almost out of memory, There is only one organization, orte society of men, of which we may be surethat it shall last as long as the world does and that is the ehureh of which our, Lond has assured us that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it, and in which He has promised that the blessed sacrament of His body and blood shall be “until He com But the best, the purest, the strongest of the spe- cial societies or bodies which may arise within it will last only so long as God shall need them; only so long as He finds work for them to do, or wants them for warning. God may choose our seemingly least import- ant or promising efforts, for prolonged ex- istence, and He may crush with sudden termination those we think most important, most powerful, most full of promise. But speaking within the limits of human fore- sight and probability, ce things ‘seem for promise of organic in any religious organization. ‘There must be a definite and su! it pur- pose. There must be a definite and faithful devotion to that purpose, and there must be a definite and positive organiza definitely fitted to accomplish that purpose. There must be harmonious relation with the working and the authorities of the church. May I ask you to think of these points |" separately? And first as to definite and sufficient pur- out of all, for precision fectiveness, was taken this sin- aim of seeking and ine young men, and bringing them to Christ in His church tn a particular way and by a definite line of action. And the method was an Important part of the purpose. It was not the society, the brotherhood, which was to do the work; it was to be done b: the separate individual labors and efforts of its several members. So I was not quite right in saying that the aim of the society was to seek and bring young men to Christ. Its real aim and purpose as a society is to enlist, and hold t.gether, and stimulate and help the individual men who were, each in his single person, to be the seekers. I well remember how, in the birthdays of the brotherhood, I was impressed by the promise of power in this singleness of pur- pose and the simple grandness of this idea of individual action. Here, I thought, God's blessing will come; here, if only they can tenaciously hold to this absolute simplicity of directness—here will be one of the might- jest auxiliaries the church has ever found. it seemed almost an inspiration that so caught and applied the very eoul of St. Andrew's pattern. One single soul goes after one single brother, with the one single purpose of bringing that one to Christ. Here, certainly, was our first requisite—a purpose, definite and worthy. The Brotherhood and the Clergy. After considering the ideas and work of the brotherhood at the beginning, following the example of St. Andrew, of private, per- sonal, single-handed, unobtrusive Christian work, the bishop went on: “But let me ask you frankly: Is it as clear, as absolute in the life, the practice, the present actual working of the brother- hood? I am not a member of it. 1 have felt, and felt very ftrongly, that it ought to be exclusively a layman's association and work. The clergy are already bound by their special vows to the seekimg and saving of souls. 1 am very confident that the brotherhood would be today a far stronger and more efficient power if no clergyman had ever been permitted to be- come a member. But I do not think there is any one who loves it more than I do, or who Jongs more for its fullest success. So, speaking as a friend outside, and with all the love of your Father in God, I look from a standpoint different from yours, and may see some things which you do not. “If I am right in thinking that at the first the brotherhood was formed and an- nounced as a society of young men for seeking young inen, then let me ask you to consider whether you did not lose single- ness, lose directness, lose power, when, to some extent, you practically dropped that word ‘young,’ with the idea of enlarging your work. I know how plausible, how seemingly sound the argument, ‘Why shut out older men, if we can do them good? If on my way to find some young man I find an old man whom I may help, why not? Andrew, the fisherman, is my answer, with his absolute, personal singleness of aim. He had a clear and very definite purpose. He wanted Simon. He no doubt met others, passed others whom he might have helped as he was seeking him; but they did not detain him, He had one distinct duty be- fore him, and for that time, one only. “I may be mistaken, but as I watch with loving heart and loving eyes, I think I see a process of change in pury going on almost without ness, have ed of rectors, ‘What your chapter of the brotherhood doin Do its members really and fully obey the foundation rules? Are they, vida}, pe nd prayer, actually sec and bring church?” we has been, ‘Oh, here 1s not e that kind of work to occupy them. there is very little, if they manage my duct a mission; t hold services for m 4s lay readers whe my best general my right-hand men, ready for every good work.’ All yer rectors in their apparent Pp and I may be very much mistaken in my fears, But before the pro- cess of change goes 80 far as to get beyon: our control, let me ask you, members of the brotherhood, to face the question fair- ly and decide whether you are to be general church workers, or to get back to and to hold fast to the magnificent simplicity of one particular line of work, and one way of doing it. God guide you to the right mt them; they are many «es chapters have bee: uld implore them notto sac rifice nor imperil the grand possible future of the brotherhood; not to tempt it aside from its grand distinctness and singlencss of purpose. “Let them find some other way for help- | ing their parochial interests and enter- es, und leave the brotherhood men to nitrate all their energies upon their high aim. fost earnestly, therefore, dear brethren, suse I love your work and long for tt, do IT charge you as a brotherhood to hold fast, as if your very life hung upon it, to the grand purpose in which you had your birth.” The Young Men and the Church, “It was sald some few years ago that the young mea of the nation were very greatly estranged from the church and from all re- ligion; showing very great indifference; counting it more manly to be skeptical, scofting, irreverent; that the church was left for older men and for women. Is it any the less true today? It is hardly fair to put that question in this place, where a specia! enthusiasm has gathered young men for an immediate special purpose. But when, in my office as bishop, I visit and with anxious love study the separate flocks, I find sad reason to think that very much remains yet to be done. Here end there, indeed, a few have been touched. But think for your- selves, from what you know of the young men in city, or town, o> county; as yoi them in society, in business, in their pleas- ures, at the clubs; consider thelr habits of thinking ard speaking; count them in the congregations for worship; ask them how they spend their Sundays; find out what they read;~find out, if you can, hew much and what they think. And then ask of your- selves how much real fruit has been gained. Is the result commensurate with your num- bers? Are there really 13,000 young men praying every day and enthusiastically werking every week, each one to find some careless one and bring him in? Surely, sure- ly, It would be but right to expect that each cne would, with God's help, succeed three times in a year. Imagine 40,000 souls thus found. Multiply it into ten years. Multi- ply it into fifty. Would not the whole atti- tude of the young men of the land be charged? It this p2ople are to be saved from the unbelief which sometimes cloaks itself under the name of science; from the Unbelief of tndifference which boasts itself as bread and liberal; from the unbelief of that shallow pride which thinks it manly to be ungodly, then the young men, as weil as the older men and the women, must be brought where the hand and the love of the Master can touch them. But your num- bers will not make your success. If they be not all on fire with holy faith and zeal, that very confidence in numers may be disas- trous. “The Lord said unto Gideon, “The people that are with thee are too many fo- me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israe] vaunt itself against me, saying, mine own hand |. th saved me. Now, therefore, go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, whoscever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from Mt. Gilead. And there retuzned of the people twenty and two thousand, and there re- mained ten thousand. And the Lord said unto Gideon, the people are yet too many. Bring them down into the water, and 1 will try them for thee there. So he brought down the people into the water, and the Lord said unto Gideon, eVery one that lap- peth with his tongue as a dog lappeth, him Shalt thou set by himself, likewise every one that boweth down upen his knees to drink. And the number cf them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hun- a men. * * * * And the Lord said unto Gidecn, By the three hundred will I save you.’ “Brethren, the Lord has many, and often, strange ways for trying and purifying His people; for weeding out the half-hearted and the unnecessary; for singling out the souls of entire devotedness, by whom, though they seem few indeed, He will do His work. You lave a mighty mission, to win the young men of the land for Christ and His church. You are only beginning to touch it. You are but in the-shallow waters of your first efforts. Launch out into the deep, let down your nets for a draught!” At Headquarters, ‘There was a steady pouring in of delezates | 40 repre | r INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS, AMUSEMENT HALLS.

Dr. McKim's Welcome. Mr. Ross’ remarks were received with enthusiastic applause, and at their con- clusion Rey. Dr. Randolph H. McKim, rec- tor of the|Church of the Epiphany, deliv- ered an address of welcome on behalf of the clergy of the District. Dr. McKim spoke earnestly to the young men before him, laying especial stress upon the fact that St. Andrew's Brotherhood Was essentially an organization of the laity of the church. He considered it to be a powerful refutation of the theory that the spiritual work of the churen should be confined to its clergy. In this life no man can hire another to love his fellow man. In the war of Christianity no man can pay a substitute to go to the front for him to battle against the cohorts of sin. He must do such work for himself and by himself. In the church, he took it, there Was enough of the salt of righteousness to Savor the whole earth, but the trouble was that it is all barreled up. It is the prov- brothe FINANCIAL.
