a fine house recently built by William
Waldorf Astor on Fifth avenue, between
Fifty-sixth and Fifty-seventh streets. It
is the most aristocratic site on the ave-

Pulpit and Prayer Meeting the Chief Edu-

President Eliot of Harvard university,
in an address before the International
Congregational council at Boston, holds
that the Congregational churches have
made a direct and positive contribution to
the gradual development of civil liberty
and free institutions. There has been
growing up in the public mind an igno-
rance of the fact that the various churches
of America in the past were proud of their
contributions to civil liberty, proud of the
services rendered by their ministers to the
republic, proud of the fact that their min-
isters furnished notable examples of loyal
and devoted citizenship.
In these latter days there has been a
drawing away from public matters, not
only of church ministers, but of church
members, and this separation has worked
a double injury, lessening the influence of
the church for good in all directions and
lowering politics to the level of the igno-
rant and the immoral.
That doctrine which separates its be-
lievers from their civil duties may not
work evil in monarchical countries, but in
a government of the people it lowers the
standard of public life and debases our
politics.
The laws are just what the people make
them, and they are enforced rigidly or not
at all, as the people determine. It Is the
belief of a certain portion of this com-
munity that there is no harm in gambling,
none in lotteries, none in pool selling.-
The laws the people have enacted put all
these things under t'he ban, but unless the
people who insisted on the enactment of
the law will be equally insistent on its en-
forcement, gambling will flourish, the po-
lice will be blind to pool selling, and crimr
Inal lawyers can safely advise lottery deal-
ers how to violate the law with impunity.
Again, our church going people believe
that the ballot should be protected and
that false registration and fraudulent vot-
ing should be punished. *
In speaking of the influence of the
church on public life in America, the New
York,Sun says:
“The chief educating forces in our Amer-
ican society, it is not too much to say,
have been exerted by the pulpit and the
prayer me.eting. They were the first great
training school of the people in large sub-
jects of thought. The village church was

the center of social life, its pulpit fur-
nished tho intellectual stimulus. - Apart
from its purely spiritual and religious
functions, the prayer meeting went far to
develop confidence, coherence and facility
in public speaking. Men who afterward
acquired fame as public speakers there
first learned to express their thoughts on
profound subjects. Go over this list for
one hundred years, including many men
now living, and you will find that it is
long. The controlling, dominant influences
affecting the American character have
been religious, and undoubtedly the form
of denominational polity so highly ex-
tolled by President Eliot has been potent.”
These influences have been religious, be-
cause its preachers and teachers feared
not to speak the truth from the pulpit,
even when that truth offended party lead-
ers and condemned party policies.
Is the influence in the future that >s to
shape American character to be religious,
or is religion and votaries of religion to be
excluded from all participation5 in elec-
tions, in political campaigns and in legis-
lation?
That is for the leaders of the church
themselves to determine. Milton said long
ago: “I can not praise a fugitive and
cloistered virtue, unexercised and un-
breathed, that never sallies, out and sees
her adversary, but slinks out of the race
when that immortal garland is to be run
for, not without dust and heat.”
It is this ^cloistered virtue” which dares
not meet her adversary in political con-
ventions, in public debate, in campaigns
which touch the vital forces of the nation,
that is useless in a republic. Good men
as well as bad men must be men of ac-
tion, and wherever there is a wrong done
there should they stand to denounce it.
The world has today more need than ever
in the past of men who will do things, and
if they can not be found in the church,
where shall we seek them?
It is a terrible arraignment of the men
that never put their thoughts or emotions
into deeds, which Kipling has written in
Tomlinson:
“Stand up, stand up, now, Tomlinson, and
• answer high
The good that you did for the sake of
men, or ever you came to die.”

It Bleaks Out Again in an Attempt to
Oust Chairman Campbell.
New York, N. Y„ Oct. 11.—The Demo-
cratic state central committee will meet
at the Hollman house to night. There is
said to be a movement on foot to oust
Frank Campbell, ex-Senator David B.
Hill’s close friend, not only from the
chairmanship of the state committee, but
from his position as national committee-
man from New York. Both these places
are held at the pleasure of the state com-
mittee. The national committeeman,
however, can not take his seat until he
has been approved by the national com-
mittee.
D. B. Hill will attend the meeting with
many proxies from up the state. It is al-
leged that ex-Senator Murphy and Rich-
ard Croker are making the fight on Camp-
bell. Friends of Mr. Hill intimate that

Plan to Furnish a 12-Story Building With
Rooms at Reasonable Prices.
New York, N. Y„ Oct. 11.—It is thought
that the construction of the proposed
hotel for women in this city will be begun
in January. The amount of the capital
stock is to be $400,000, and it will be neces-
sary to have three-fourths of it subscribed
before the company may be incorporated.
The total subscription to date amounts to
something over $150,000.
The enterprise involves the construction
of a 12-story building with all modern im-
provements, capable of accommodating
about 500 women. Patronage will be
sought among professional women, such
as artists, teachers, physicians, journal-
ists, stenographers, trained nurses and
others, and the hotel will be run strictly
on business principles. The present plan
provides for the rent of 364 single rooms
at $3 to $6 each a week, and 71 rooms with
two alcoves at $8 each. The restaurant
will also be run on low rates.
The exact location of the new hotel has
not yet been determined upon, but it has
been learned that it will be built at some
point between Union square and Thirty-
fourth street and not far from Broadway.
The total cost, including the land, will be
$800,000, half of which will be covered by a
$400,000 mortgage.
Some of the important persons who have
taken stock in the company are John D.
Rockefeller, .-William C. Schermerhorn,
Elliott F. Shepherd, Mrs. John Cliffin’
Mrs. Levi P. Morton and Mrs. James
Speyer.

yin Advancing the Interest on the Four and
Five Per Cent Bonds Generally Approved
by New York Financiers—Will Ease the
Money Market.
New York, N. Y., Oct. 11.—News of the
decision of the treasury department to an-
ticipate the interest on the war loan" of
last year, the ISIH 5 per cents and the 1925 4
per cents, and, subject to a rebate, to pay
the interest in advance which matures be-
tween Nov. 1 next and July 1, 1900, was
well received in Wall street.
The payment of the November interest
was expected and the additional relief is
regarded as a bonus, but fully warranted
by the condition of the treasury and the
growing stringent money conditions. Com-
ment favorable to Assistant Secretary
Vanderlip, who closely studied the money
situation during his recent visits to New
York, was general. While the effect of
the measure of relief will be gradual, re-
sults of it will appear within a week. As
a banker put it, -“There is no sentiment
about money; what is needed is money,
and nothing but money can work a
ch-ange. The action of the government
may be regarded as a promise to help. It
will have, and has had, a sentimental ef-
fect on rates, but until the interest flows
into general circulation the money mar-
ket conditions will continue to be ruled by
the amount of money available and the de-
mand for it.”
The call loan rate yesterday was from 8
to 10 per cent, closing at 4 per cent on the
slackening of the demand.
While no banker caviled at the action
of the treasury department, many de-
clined to be identified with the views they
expressed because they apprehended crit-
icism of a financial policy which permitted
or resulted in a treasury glut and a mar-
ket stringency.
But some prominent authorities
their opinions openly.
James Stillman, president of the Na-
tional City bank, said that in anticipating
the payment of interest the treasury de-
partment had given an earnest of its de-
sire to aid the commercial interest of the
country by co-operating with the banks. *
Ex-Gov. Levi P. Morton said: "‘I cer-
tainly think the action will have a very
good effect and should result in a consid-
erable easing in the money market.”
The action of the treasury department
Was fully indorsed by A. A. Housman,
James Seligman, A. Barton Hepburn and
other bankers.

a Hotel Proprietor.
New York, N. Y., -Oct. 11.—Charles
Rauohoffier, for the past12^ years chef at
Delmonico’s, is dead, agfed 63 years. He
came to America when 20 years old, hav-
ing already won fame in France as a
cook.
He returned to France In 1860, where he
spent a winter at the Tuilleries, being in
charge of the arrangements for the grand
balls at the court of Napoleon III. Two
years later he returned t6 New York and
was employed .at Delmbhico’s until 1876,
when he again returned to France.
For three years he 'owned the Hotel
American at Engen-Lefe-Baines, near
Paris, but returned in 1879'ftb Delmonico’s,
where he has remained ev^P'since.
