Some of the little children, | accustomed to attend the Sunday-school, | | were no less eager to show their appre. tion of the occasion and raised their | tiny voices in hymns and amens. { CHINESE APPLAUD HIM. When the general rose to speak he | was accorded a remarkable welcome and | address by admitting the pleasure he ex- perienced at being given the ‘privilege of speaking to so vast a gathering of a peo- ple whose land he longed to visit and | uron whose native sofl, he said, he hoped { befcre he died to plant the Salvation flag. | Gong ' Tyng interpreted the 'general's sentiments with surprising rapidity. He gave point to the words of the great old man by his gestures, which denoted a realization of the fervent and devout sentjments of the head of the Salvation- s No band of soldiers, sald General Booth, had interested him more than the Chinese men from that congregation who were | willing to serve the Lord; those who were | fitted to go out and lahor in the-great cause and bring souls to Christ. He re- lated how the work of the Salvation Army had spread in all lands, including Asia and Africa. In Japan, he said, they had achieved and were still achieving the Ereatest results from their labor. Throughout - the world, he pointed out, they rescued the drunkard from drunken- ness, the blasphemer from blasphemy, the unclean from the uncieanly and hearts were made pure, while still the blessed religion spread. | LIVE BEAUTIFUL LIVES. | Tt was for them, he said, to have the { salvation of Jesus Christ in their hearts {and live beautiful, useful fves. God Almighty was their creator, their gover- mor, and would be their judge. When they cheated, lied or led Tuncleanly lives i they sinned against God. Askinga bless- ing for those who were in the congrega- { tion the general said that his ddughte desired to address them. ,, Consul 'Emma Booth-Tucker then de livered a powerful and sympathetic ad dress in which she described her -vigit | and work in India, where men stood for { Christ in spite of opposition and di culties. What God could de in India, in China and San Francisco. After ‘the addresses there was a call for those who sought salvatign. Sixteen Chinamen went forward and knelt at the chairs and lounge which had been placed in front of the platform. - The band struck up Inspiring hymns iand in the Chinese language the as- ",\‘emhlage sang. Hymns were also ren- dered in English and prayers were said by the general and Colonel John Lawley | and Colonél French, and with great crie of “Hallelujah” the service terminated the general invi¢ing his Chinese congrega tion to come to his great united watec night service to be held at 10 o'clock to night at the Alhambra Theater. SEEK NEW. HOME. The news that the Salvation Army was negotiating the purchase of property for the erection of a handsome and perm- anent home in the city, announced ex- clusively in yesterday’s Call, came as a pleasant surprise to the supporters and well-wishers. of the organization. Negotiations had been in progress for the last five weeks with the trustees of the Lutheran Swedish Church, 1271 Mis- sion street, for the purchase of the sacred edifice and the land upon which it stands and on the arrival of General Booth the | plans were laid before him, After inspect- ing the property and the church’'on Mon- | day, Genéral Booth drove to the agents, | | Easton & Bidridge, and contracts were | drawn up and a deposit raid. The sum | which the Selvation Army has offered for the church and property is'$22,500, So far it has been decided to place the present church building at the rear, which will give the Sdlvation headquarters a frontage on Minna street. For the front- age on Mission street a handsome taber- racle of suitable architecture is ‘to be erected. There are to be commodious of- fices and reception rooms, reading rooms and every facility to pursue the philan- thropic methods of the Salvation Army. AWAIT DECISION. The congregation of the Lutheran Swedish Church hope by a.satisfactory sale to clear their church of all debt and | to build a new place of worship in the Mission.. Speaking last evening of the transfer of the property the Rev. C. J. E. Haterius, pastor of the Lutheran Swedish Church, said: q | ~*“While negotiations have been in prog- | ress for .the purchase of the property I do not think the congregation will be willing to, ratify the proposal to sell for only $22,500. At a meeting of the congre- gation it was determined that $24,500 would be the lowest figure which would be accepted. There is to be a meeting again on Friday night, when the matter will be considered. The Salvation Army has pald a deposit, but the negotiations up to now will be subject to the decision of the con- gregation, which will be finally reached on Friday.” New Catholic Club Holds Meeting. The Catholic .Layman’s Club, which was recently organized for the promotion | of social intercourse among the members and to encourage the growth of the Cath- olice movement in the Protestant Epis- | copal Church of America, met Jast éven- |ing at the Church of.the Advent on | Bleventh street.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—The Navy De- partment to-day made public the follow- ing extract of the letter of Rear Admiral Taylor, Admiral Dewey’s chief of staff, under date of December 19, relative to the Caribbean maneuvers: It the drills go well we probably shall have done ali that Adwiral Dewey wants to do some time in the week beginning Monday; January 5, and ending Saturday, January 10. “The tactical drills by division were much needed. . The fourth division' has made con- siderable progress. The division of Tour battle- ships, when they worked together, did mot re- quire much drilling, as they had previously had a good deal. The plan now is to begin work for the en- tire fleet, under Admiral Dewey in persom, dur- ing the week beginning Monday, December 20, and if their imorovement justifies, we will take up some battle evolutions, with the cruiser dlvl!iornz dispatched on the flanks and scout- ing. tere likewise will be a blockade problem lnn‘d then I think ity will be time for the dis- persal. One-half the task was donie when we had the vessels assemibled. A large fraction of the remainder was done when we perfected the fleet organization and taught the individual ships to.look to thelr divisional squadro: manders and for these commanders in turn to 100k to the commander in chief. This has not Dbeen easy, for we have practicaily never had a fleet organization, but have worked three ships and thirty ships under the same squadron or- ganization. e The Theory of the Gas Mantle. The high luminosity of the gas mantle and its still more remarkable dependence on a particular composition are facts call- ing for some special ex] tion. One of the simplest hypotheses is that which re- gards the mantle’s luminosity as an or- dinary high temperature effect. We may auote Mr. J. Swinburne's views from- the Journal of the Institute of Electrical En- gineers (vol. 27). in this regard. He will have nothing to do with selective emis- sivity but considers that all solid bodies at the same tempgrature give out light of the same color. 'The Bunsen flame, he argues, in which the mantle is immersed, is extremely hot, and the mantle's lumin- osity is due to its attaining, very nearly, this high temperature. A bad radiator— such as thoria—will reach the same tem- perature as the flame, but as it radiates 80 little energy it will give but little light: what light it does give will, however, be ‘of high luminous efficiency. A good radia- 1ér—such as ceria—will radiate energy so fast that it will not attain anything like the temperature of the flame. It is, there- fore, only necessary to add sufficient thcria to Increase the emissivity enough to get a good quantity of radiated energy, ut not enough to lower the temperature unduly, in order to obtain a composition giving a brilllantly luminous mantle. For an account of experiments on this matter and for a’ discussion of them the reader Is referred to Nature for November 27, 1902, —_———————— Dr. Nansen has a liking for bright col- ors.

Almost everybody’s digestion is disor- | @dered more or less, and the commonest thing they do is to take some ;of the many so called blood purifiers, which in | many cases are merely strong cathartics. | Such things are not needed. If the organs re in a clogged condition they need only a little help and they will right them- selves. Cathartics irritate the sensitive linings of the stomach and bowels, axd often do more harm than good. Purging is not what is needed. The thing to do is to put the food in condition to be readily. digested and assimilated. Stuart’s Dyspepsia *Tablets do this per- | fectly. They partly digest what s eaten !'and give the stomach just the help It | needs. They stimulate the secretion and excretion of the digestive fluids and re- Heve - the congested condition of the glands and membranes..
