O. Smith. The funeral of Francis Owen Smith, son of Robert and Mary Smith, who reside at Twenty- eighth and Alabama streets, took place at 10 oclock yesterday morning from St Peter's Church. ~The sermon was preached by Rev, Father James Mcbonald, who, with Roy. Father M. J. Connolly, also said the prayers over the grave in Holy Cross Cemetery. Do. ceased was captain of Company 1, League of the Cross Cadets, and was well known in his parish.

He enumer- | ated the advantages which come from | combination in production; he declared | that it lowered prices, afforded a better statistical experience, justitied the em- | ployment of an expert in each depart- | ment and brought about economy of labor through greater division of labor. 1In ad- | dition to these he enumerated asadvan- | tages in disiribution the lowering of trans- | portation and the better adavtation of the means of production to-the needs of a | given field. Continuing, he said: NATION, therefore, has its advan- , and o de it blindly and in- iminately is worse than folly. best cond on is not 10 by but to crease the pr | ts in the concentration of | s of a few and often in con- | s oppressior nosever, from combination | arm us, for we can afford to waii and study the subjéc number of rem have been proposed—public owners monop vhich in some depar proved ck s the nrobable so- | Tution s of proved natur- al monopoli blic commissions to inquire into the of monopolies; uuiform cor | poration making public the mesus by | | which movopolies has been ac- | | cumulated, and responsibility | which will prey | behind a corporation.

Oliver C. Miller, pastor of the | Church of the Holy Spirit, by special in- | vitation preached in Simpson Memorial M. E. Church yesterday morning. His | theme was “Confession of sin and recep. | | tion of the Holy Spirit,” and his text | “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and | renew a right spirit within me; cast me | not away from thy presence, and taka not | thy Holy Epirit from me."” | The speaker said in part: HE cnurch of to-day can have a real al | confess and forsake her sin and receive the Holy Pentecos.al re if she will S;irit.

The reception of | the Holy Ghost is not & matter of presence, but of fulfiliment of the condit on of his reception. Let us notice more closely the result of the withdrawal of the spirit from the temple of our bodies. We are left withont the seal of his redemption upon us, axd without acquaini- ance with Christ, for it is he who takes of the | things of our redeemer and shows them unto { us. We have no one to reprove usof sin, and there is n> possibility of prevailing prayer | without him wno helpeth our infirmities. Neither do we have an understanding of the Blble, which, though it was produced by many writers, has but one autuor, the Holy | Ghost; and he only.can revea! what he has | written. Without the indwelling of the Holy | 8pirit we are left comfortless, and withouta i guide 1o lead us in the way of all iruth. Neither haye we joy; but are leit to the mercy ol our environments. Letusone and all open our hearts to the Holy Ghost. 2 g Ingersoll’s Book Sharply Criticized. “Ingersoll on the Holy Bible” was the subject of a lecture by Rev. J. 8. David in Red Men’s building last night. He said in substance: B BOUT three years ago Ingersoll's pub- lisher gave to the world a litile book en- titled, “About the Holy Bible.” This book says that Jenovah crdersthe sacri- fice of babes, prohibits art, and sanciions polygamy, slavery and oiner evils. These | churges are errongous. The first born in each { family was (0 be given to the Lord, but not | sacrificed on an aitar. This was never done or | allowed in Isreel. Art was not prohibited. The “graven image” which was prohibited was always an idol. The tabernacle, with its curtains, veils and furniture, revealed consid- ernble nrt. Polyzrmy was not sauctioned, but was tem- porarily permitted on accouut of the hardness of men’s hearts as & protection nguinst a worse evil. Blavery existed in a mild form. The siave, socalled, reccived wages and on the same day they were earned; he enjoyed the righis of citizensiip, and his master was not allowed to deal severely with him. Caste was not allowed, and the monopolization of land from generalior to generation was prohibited, It is true that many crimes were pumshed with death that are not now, but we must con- sider the darkness of those ugessand the difli- culty of maintaining government except by iron rule. Civilization must come by evoiu- tion and not by force. But the Bible was not written merely for the sake of giving us a history. Its real valne lies in the internal seuse. The record of the | Iying with cruelly braised bodies in the :SL laws and struggles and vicissitudes of a na- tion were sublirnted and transiormed into a series of allegories portrayinz the laws aud struggles and vicissitudes of the human soul in itsspiritual evoiution. The internal sense of the Werd, which when unfolded shines by its own light, is the one supreme evidence of its inspiration. The denial of the internal sense and the misinterpretation of the letter of Scripture have ma’ more skeptics than In- gersoll. The Philosophy of Faith, By Dr. Hughes. The pulpit of Simpson M. E. Church was filled last night by Rev. Matt S. Hughes, D. D., pastor of the Wesley M. E. Church at Minneapolis. He took for his text Corinthlans ii:5-7—"For we walk by faith, not by sight.” The theme of his discourse was the philosophy of faith and be said in substance: E of the distirguishing characteristics of Christian religion is that it has to do so0 largely with the unseen. We live ‘in bodies supplied with organs called senses. by which we are brought in close rela- tions with the tangible world. But when we selves how we put ourselves in relation with the intangible the answer is, “We walk ¢ faith, not by sight.” Religion is fashioned according to man's nature and constitution. It is natural, while everything opposed to religion is unnatural. The Bible speaks to us in rather fam.iar he question is asked, “‘Does the Bible speaking of faith speak of something we donot know?” Faith 1s a firm persuasion of something which We cannot grasp with our We are also full of faith as to the truth of past_ events recorded in history. The child learning its letters has iaith. Not a step in acouiring an education can be taken without taith. We have to believe what1s toid us, Oaly by fnith can we escape the 'imits of time | and space which bound our little lives. We use falth i1 secular affairs, and must use it 1n the religious. Faith has been aptly termed the sixth sense. It is the gateway to knowiedge. We must learn to walk by iaith with the same assurance | we do by sight. Most Momentous Of All Questions. | Dr. John Hemphill of the Calvary Pres- byterian Church preached last night from the text, Acts xvi:36-31—"What must I do to be saved?” He told the story of Paul and Silas being delivered from jail by the angels, and described the two men silence of the cells. Continuing, he said : JDDENLY that silence Was broken by a voice singing songs of joy and triumph and praise. Then there was another sound—n rushing, jarring, awful sound, 1d the foundatious were shaken and the fet: fell from the limbs of the prisoners. The irightened jriler ssid to the delivered men, Sirs, what must 1do to be saved 2 This is the most momentous of all questions. The answer *Believe on the Lorua Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” As the result of tic recent Christian Endeavor convention an unusual number are now asking this question. 1 find people more susceptible to gospel truth than I'have found them in years. St Th: Story of Jonah And the Whale. Dr. W. W. Case defended the authen- ticity of the biblical story of Jonah and the whale in his evening sermon at How- | ard Methodist Church yesterday. This | view of the storv is directly opposite to that taken by Rev. Wiliam Rader of the | Third Congregational Church, who re- gards the scriptural account asallegorical. Dr. Case adduced historical evidence tending to establish the literal truth of the much-debated story. He said: BELIEVE thet evidence has proved tne a I sount to be historicelly true, and not alle- ne gorical. Tue critics have even affirmed that there er was any such place as the Ninevah de- scribed in the Bible, but the researches of hi torians and archmologists within the past sixty years have demonstrated almost conclusively the factof its existence. in view of this fact the burden of proof is shifted upon the shoulders of the critics to disprove the historical basis of the Jonah story. MILITARXY CYCLING 4 SUCCESS, Surprising Eesults of the Army Bioyocle Corps’ Experiment. ST. LOUIS, Mo, July 25.—The Twenty- fitth United States Infantry Bicycle Corps, which reached this city last night, completing their 1900-mile ride from Fort Missoula, Mont., in forty days, thirty-five of which were actually spent on the road, is encamped at Forest Park p: The distance coverad on the trip was 1900 miles, the daily average being’ 5234 After leaving the Nebraska sandh: average was over sixty miles a day. tenant Moss said to-day: “The trip proved my contention that the bicycle has a place in modern war- fare. In every kind of weather and over all sorts of roads we averaged hfty miles a day, ani at the end of the journey we are all n good physical condition, “Seventeen tires and halfa dozen frames is the sum of our damage. The practical resuit of the trip shows that an army bicvcle corps can travel twice as fast as cavalry or infantry under any conditions and at one-third the cost and effort.” perie QUi S0 Captain Cook” @ Failure.

Reverential and Glowing Tribute to the “Apostle of Spain.” Impressive Music and Eloquence Mark the Ceremonies at St. James’ Church. The feast of St. James was celebrated yesterday at St. James Church, corner of Guerrero and Twenty-third streets. The clergy and laity of the parish observed the ceremonies commemorative of their patron with special splendor and solem- nity The half-past 6 and half-past 7 o'clock masses were attended by the members of the various sodalities of the parish, who recetved communion in a budy. The sodalities which attended were the Young Men’s, the Young Ladies’, the Children of Mary, the Immaculate Conception and the Sacred Heart sodalities. The Young Men’s Sodality, which was ypartially organized yesterday, already numbers over forty members, young men 14 years of age and over. Representatives of the societies of St. Vincent de Paul from all the parishes of the City attended the 7:30 mass in a body. Solemn high mass was celebrated by Rev. P. R. Lynch, celebrant: Rev. P. A. Foley, Flood, sub- deacon. John Byrne acted as master of cere- monies, James McMurray as thu{)fer. and Thomas Vauzhsn and Alfred Kelly as acolytes. The church had been beautifully deco- rated, and a special musical programme had been prepared in honor of the occa- sion. Miss Purcell, the orzanist, was as- sisted by an augmented choir of thirty voices and the St. James Choral. Music was also rendered by the following solo- ists: Miss Auna Rooney, Miss Etta Welsh, J. Fiood and i. C. O’ Donnell. At the first gospel, at balf-past 10, Rev. Father Foley preached the panegyric ot the saint. He gave a brief outline of the history of the life of St. James, one of the three favorite disciples of the Lord. *'St. James,”’ he said, ‘‘nas well been cailed the *Apostle of Spain.’ As such he succeeded in " establishing the faith so solidly in Spain that it siill remains there, firm and steadfast. “To him, first of the i elve, =me the honor ot martyrdom whe:. be re arned to Jerusalem after his missivi. _pain. In the ninth century his body was taken back to Spain and placed in the cathedral at Compostella, whither thousands of de- vout Uatholics yearly make pilgrimages to his shrine.”” Father Foley concluded with an ex- hortation to his hearers to follow St James in the practice of the virtues that signalized his life, He also congraculated the parishioners on having for their pat- ron one so influential with his Divine Master. The quarterly meeting of the St. Vincent de Paui societies of the various parishes was beld at the church hall in the aiter- noon. Solemn vespers were sung at 7:30 in the evening, and the devotions of the day concluded with the benediction of the blessed sacrament at 8 o’clock. DEBS AND 1HE CUAL STRIKE. Has Hopes for a Reaization of His Doc- trine That A/l Lcbor Must Stand or Fall Togeiher, WHEELING, W. Va., July 25.—Opera- tors and labor leaders in the Monongahela field agree that & crisis in the strike in West Virginia is approaching, and to- morrow will determine whether the dig- gers of Central West Virginia will give the aid for which President Ratchford and Debs have worked so long. The operators say that if the men can be induced to re- turn to work on Mouday all is saved. In the southern portion of the State the strike has not materielly affected any district except the Noriolk and Western, which is almost tied up. Debs, accompanied by President Mahon of the street raillway organization, will to- morrow address a mass-meeting of miners here. An effort will be made to induce him to remain for the mee.ing of labor leaders Tuesday. The general under- standing is that Debs is about to attempt a concerted movement of all orgarized labor in behalt of the miners. With a handful of Pullman strikers he effected a partial paralysis of trade and traffic, and it is argued tuat in the strike of 100,000 he hopes for a realization of his doctrine that all labor must stand or fail together. Presiuent Racchford’s recent statement that activa support from all organizations will be sought at Tuesday’s conference 1s taken as confirmation of the alleged plans of the leader of “‘Social D:mocracy.” INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., July 25.—The commissioners appointed by the Governor to investigate the condition of the strik- ing miners returned from the mining dis- tricts last might and will submit a report to-morrow. They will point out specific cases where aid should be given. It is de- clared that a continuance ot the strike for anotuer ten days will result iu great des titution among miners at Hymeria, Coat HAVE HELPED THE POOR Quarterly Reports of the Local Societies of St. Vincent de Paul. Many Ministrations Among the Needy Ones of the Various Parishes. The quarterly meeting of the societies of 8t. Vincent de Paul of the various Catholic parishes of the City was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock at St James Hall, Guerrero street, near Twenty- third. Archbishop Riordan presided and led in prayer. Fathers Lynch and Con- nolly were also vresent. Ten of the parishes of the City were rep- resented. The Archbishop called the meeting to order and introduced Father Lynch, who we'comed the ~epresenta- tives in a short speech. He compli- mented the members of the society for having turned out in great numbers in the morning at the celebration of the feast of St. James. I hope,” he declared, “‘that the sight of so many men attending the services in a body will serve asan edification and encouragement to the people of my congrezation.” The Alms<house committee, which has consisted for the past quarter of the presi- dent, vice-president and secretary of the Society of St. Paul’s Parish, reported that they had yisited the Almshouse every two weeks and had found everything in a per- fectly satisfactory conditlion under Super- intendent Reddy’s management. Richard Curiis, C. D. Douglass and R. Brown of St. Peter's were appointed on the Alms- house committee for the coming quarter, to serve until the next meeting, at St. Peier’s Church on D cember 12. The meeting yesterdav was 10 have been held at 8.

In these places the commissioners found many families dependent entirely upon the meager charity of immediate neighbors. There is not enough provisions on hand at any miner’s home to last a week. Itis expected the Governor will issue an ap- peal to the people for contributions. TERRE HAUTE, Isp, July 25.—J. Smith Talley, president ot the State Coal Operators’ Association, says he thinks the strike wil! be long drawn out, but in the end the miners will win. The fact that Soutuern Illinois miners are coming out leads him 10 velieve exceptional con- ditions will result in success for the orzan- izers, who are trying to get West Virginia out. Southern Illinois has not Leretofore engaged in general strikes, but Talley s:ys he will not surprised if the dizgers were brouzht out as far son'h as Cairo. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 25.—Practically the whole Pittsburg coal district, w th the exception of De Armitt's miaes, is shut down, and from the talk of the miners’ of- ficials to-day they are hopeful there will be no breaks in the strikers’ ranks this week. Strikers in camp at McGovern, near the Allison mines, are living high, having received plentiful contributions. It was reported to-day to the New York and Cleveland Gas-coal Company that 2000 strikers had tormed & marching body and decided to make a descent upon the mines to intercept miners as they go to work to-morrow. Overator de ~Armitt sent eighty deputy sheriffs to the mines tc-night to resist the strikers. Eh e LIGHTNING AND A BULLET. Strange Circumstances Connected With the Tragic Death of Alice Barrett. BOSTON, Mass., July 25.—The startling discovery was made to-day that Alice Barret!l, the bookkeeper for Codman & Codman, who was supposed to have been killed by a bolt of lightning yesterday afternoon while at her dutiss av the real estate office, 40 Kilby street, was really killea by a bullet, which passed through her heart. It was the strangest suicide on record, the fatal shot and the lightning coming so near together as to deceive the police. Medical Examiner Stedman made the discovery when he made the autopsy. Although it is appar ntly a suicide, there are circumstances which lend a very mys- terious aspect to the case, and it may yet prove a murder. A loaaed pistol and a box of cartridges were found on the floor near the body. The peculiar, burnt, bloodless wound was at first supposed to have been in- flicted by the lightning bolt which set fire to the building. The fire was ex- tinguished. The woman'’s body was found lying face down in the open doorway of the big safe. Near the body was Miss Barrett’s bank- book, showing that lasc fall $800 had been witbdrawn from her savings oi $1060. A note was also found, which reads as fol- lows: “Itismy keenest regret that the $800 drawn from the savings bank is gone beyond redemption. It was invested at a dead loss, 2nd the person who has it is out of the United States, The only thing re- ceived from it was $40 interest deposited July 24. It is impossible to receive any- thing. An attempt would only involve greater loss. The party who now holds the money is known only to myself. Itis my prayer that in the event of myv death within six months my family do not at- tempt even to find my debtor. It is use- less.” Sl TRAMP-INFESTED NEBRASKA. Federal Deputies Clearing the Tracks of Train-Wreckers and Filling the Omaha Jails. OMAHA, Nesr.,, July 25.—The Federal authoriiies are making a determined effort to stop the holding up of trains along the Omaha road, with the prospect that the local jails will not be able to accommo- date the prisoners this week. At mid- night ten more hoboes were brought in Ly the officers. Yesterday deputies started on a special up Omana road to gather in tramps, A young fellow captured in the big raid of Friday had beeen won over to the side of the Government and he accompanied the special. Whenever a gang of tramps was seen the train was stopped and the pris- oner was sent into the bunch to pick out those with whom he had been associated in bolding up trains during the past week. In this manner ten were arresied. The train proceeded in this way fifty milts north and the same programme was carried out until many desperate charac- ters were secured. The party has been using great vigilance to prevent trains be- ing wrecked and has received notice that several passenger trains will be wrecked in revenge. Armed guards patrol the track for many miles and trains are run on slow time along threatened places. Obstacles have been placed on the rails in several instances. B e For a Currency Commission.
