ANOTHBK GllEAT DISASTER.
Again the telegraph brings news of
a terrible diatter at sea m which with
out a moment's warning one hundred and
fifty Human beings were uohcred into
eternity. Only six months ago the North
German Lloyd et earner Elbe foundered Jn
the North Sea and carried hundreds with
Her to the bottom, and less thuu a j ear ago
the ! or the Spanish war vessel Rcina
Regent e, tv i t h over t wo hundred of her ere w,
had to be eurouicled.
In the present instance, it was the
Italian steamer Maria P., that was run into
by another Italian vcs-el. the Ortegia,
nud 6auk in throe inmutea. The catas
trophe occurred in the Gulf of Genoa,
an uoar and a half after midnight, when
all tbe pa biv tigers and a part of the crew
-were wrapped J u blumber. In this circum
stance Ile the only connotation. To nearly
all the unfortunate people death was merci
ful, for it came twiftly and the Mecpers
were not awakened to realize their doom.
In fcjMJe of all the progress tliat has been
made in the science of navigation and
of ooubtrucUng veels. and notwithstand
ing the fact that the sailing rout eo of etsels

dewof, "which men term disasters, occur
agatuaiKl again. The comfort we may take
ti ourselves regarding thoe that go to sea
if comfort there be In it lies m the dry
staUaUcal fact that loss of life on the
water is many times less than ou land.
L.A150U LN ENGLISH POLITICS.
The Mory ol the recent English political
upheaval and its s-o.u'l at the polls, told
daily In The Times and other newspapers,
hat. a significant mural m it for Americau
worfciugtuen. "
This EngHsh campaign, like all others
that have preceded it during the present
generation, has been notable lor the promi
nence given to the labor question the
labor question pure and simple, without
any political trimmings calculated to ob
fecurc the issue.
In this it is Jn marked contrast to cam
paigns in our own country. In the platform
evea of the minor parties the rights of
iatKr are generalised with a lot of so
called economic questions that are mere
fads ol would-be statesmen who know they
have not the remotest possibility of be
coming part of the law of the land.
In England labor men are elected because
they are labor men, paid regular salaries
by the labor organizations and pledged to
look lely after labor interests.
Tbej are advised and counseled by these
lubor organizations and amenable to them
for broken pledges. Punishment for shat
tered promises is sure aud swift, and is in
variably the loss of official posit -on. ac
companied by perpetual political ostracism.
Where the labor element is not strong
enough to elect its members, it gives its vote
only to the candidate pledged to its in
terest. The result is seen in such laws as the
factory act, under which sweat shops can
not prevail.
Here we have no real labor representa
tives in legislative halls, though our work
ing people are at least 70 per cent of the
voting population.
Until they send bona fide members to
the StUjte legislatures and to Congress, our
working people will never have adequate
justice done them.
BATTLE OF THE RACE TRACKS.
The fight between the St Aaph and
Alexander Island race tracks promises
to be a very lively and interesting one
A, slated in yesterday's Times the former
has determined to wipe out tlie latter, and
for that purpose its financial aid will be
given to Capt George A. Mushbach, so
that he may be renominated aud re-elected
to tlie Virginia State Senate
Capt Mushbach is the author of si law
passed ostensibly to minimize or abolish
the evils of gambling, but at the same lime
to perpetuate tracks then in existence.
TJuder it, however, all forms of wrong
doing have flourished In Alexandria county.
For St Asaph's track it must be said that
its methods of conducting racing are as
clean as those in operation on tlie majority
of oourees It is regulated by jockey
club rules, and makes similar punishments
for their infraction.
But when It uses its profits to corrupt
politics, to buy legislators, aud to abridge
the rights of a decent community it ought
to be visited by the heavy hand of a
law that is not of its own making
The principal disgrace to Virginia is the
track at Alexander Island. It is an
outlaw track in every Fenso of the word.
It is an abode pt crookedness, a den of
rampant vice, and a standing and running
Xieuace to the welfare of communities
for many miles around.
But the St. Asaph people do not want to
r.holish Alexander Island because ot it$
euperlaUvTs wickedness, but becausR It la
barrier to their financial gain.

Alexandria county corruption and Immor
ality borne to the people of all Virginia,
much good may ensue. The good name of
their flue old State Is at stake.
THE L. A. Y AND GOOD ROADS.
Much has been said about the influence
of tlie bicycle on the making of good roads,
but the real extent of this influence can
never be fully measured or appreciated.
Koad improvement has always received
particular attention at the hands of the
League ol American Wheelmen, and It has
done more for this needed blessing to
humanity than all th9 efforts of the farm
ers put together.
T Hut the League is not content with the
work so far accomplished. It has deter
mined to make it even a more prominent
feature of its labors, and to push the cam
paign lor good roails with vigor a hundred
fold greater.
The annual meeting or the League will
ba held m February next, and all of the
first day, and probably wrtions of other .
days, will be given up to the discussion
of tin's subject alone.

LABOR RAISED TO THE TOP
Not Abused Now by District News

"Fearless and Fair Policy of The Times
Has Urougbt About a CluuiKO
Which Benefits tho Public.
(From the District Labor Advocate.)
Whatever may have been its faults, Tim
Times has at least accomplished one good
result, for which labor organizations and
workiugpeoplegcnerally should be thankful.
Until recently the newspapers of Washing
ton were openly hostile to organised labor.
Their editoiial criticisms, paragraphs and
comment sou strikesaud other labor troubles
were intensely aggravating in face of the
fact that almost invariably working people
attempting to obtain redress for wrongs
inflicted by corporate influence. And were
some of these criticisms published m com-
parisoti with the gueh now found in Uieir
papers of fleece-covered wolves attempting

they have abused workrtig people, accused
them of ignorance and denounced organized
labor as a menace to society. Instead of
boldly defending the oppressed and fear
lessly attacking the abuses that injure
working people.theyclthcropiMily advocated
the cause of employers or sueeringly alluded
to labor organizations.
But The Times has shown themsometliing
new in journalism. From the first number
It has beeti a friend to labor. In circulation
and influence it has achieved wonderful
success, aud to prevent further loss of
prestige its local contemporaries are en
deavoring to whitewash their reputations

It distinctly understood that the credit for
this change ol sentiment properly belongs
to its thousands of readers. In supporting a
newspaper that dared defend wage-earners
the have unconsciously compelled its con
temporaries to udopt the same policy. It
is a victory lor which the public .should be
grateful. Tor when the piess taken up the
cause of labor there will be less contention
between employer and employed.
Organized labor perhaps can afford to
blot out the past records or newspapers,
ir by so doing it can be guaranteed that
such sudden conversion to the cause of
labor is more than skin deep. Out it's hard
to forget the incalculable injury that has
been caused by their misleading publica
tions. To be more plain; at the time or the

APOSTLE l'AUL'S COMPANIONS.
Dr. Stakely Accords Lnko Firt Place
In Importance to Christianity.
The sixth or the series of sermons by
Rev Charles A. Stokely on the "Com
panions of the Apostle Paul" was deliv
ered last evening before a large congrega
tion at First Baptist Church.
The subject of his discourse was "Luke,
the Evangelist."
"The history of the life and work of
Luke," said Rev. Dr Stokely, "contains
more of interest than that of any other of
Paul's companions, and was of more value
and force in the dissemination of the word
of truth than the others. Although this Is
an historical fact. Luke is mentioned only
three times in the New Testament. It is
not stated in the Bible that he is the author
of the two books attributed to him. From
this source all that can be learned Is that
he was a native of Antioch and a Gentile;
the only Gentile contributing to the New
Testament, and all he wrote had special
reference to the Gentiles.
"By p"rofesion he was a physician, and
they during Ids time were generally not
Christians. His calling at thetlme was
not considered an honorable one. as it
was generally taken and followed by slaves
and persons of the lower class. When we
recall that he dedicated all his writings to
Theophilus, supposed to be a wealthy lord
or baron of Antioch. it creates the belief
that at one time 'Luke' was a slave and his
name contracted from Lucamus to Lucas
or Luke."
QUIET FAMILY WEDDLN'G.
Mr. II.. Bertistlne, of New York, Mar
ried to MthK Ruy Dux.
Th name of H. Bernstine, which has been
on "the Raleigh register for several days,
was changed last night to H. Bernstine and
wife.'
This is the clue that revealed the fact
that a pretty little home wedding had taken
place at the home or Emanuel Dux, 422 I
street northwest. Mr. Bernstine, who is a
young business man in New York, in the
coursQ ol his commercial tours to this city
was Introduced to Miss Ray Dux, who la
quite a belle in the Jewish social circles
of Washington,, and it was a case of love
at first sight.
The final scene in the love-play was
enacted with Mr. Bernstine, Miss Ray and
Rabbi Samuels as the principal actors and
the rnends or the contracting parties playing
for the time being minor tfarts.
After a wedding supper given by Mr. and
Mrs. Bernstine to their friends at the Ea
lelgh, the couple lert for a tour, which will
embrace Pittsburg, Cleveland, Niagara,
Saratoga, and New York. They will reside
in New York, whore thegroom is In business.

CHRIST NEVER IT A LOSS
First Sermon. ot President Whit

SPOKE AT FIRST BAPTIST
Saviour's Knowledge ot Man nis"Ef
forijiind Work Koveul the Positive
Sldo of Life Warnings Against
Asceticism, Materialism, and Mis
conception. Rev. Dr. B. L Whitman, president or
Columbian University, whose election to
the position is of recent date, preached yes
terday morning before a large congrega
tion at the First Baptist Church, at the
corner or Sixteenth and 0 streets northwest.
Dr Whitman wag temporarily in the
city, having arrived the day before, with
the expectation or returning last night
to Boston At the request of Dr. Stakely,
however, he remained to fill the iatter's
appointment.
He was introduced by Dr. Stakely, who
expressed his high appreciation of the priv
ilege of having' his distinguished friend to
officiate in the services.
Dr Whitman is tall and of commanding
presence, with a pleasing manner and voice
His face was smooth shaven and in fea
tures and otherwise lie bore many marks
of resemblance to ex-General Postmaster
Bissell His discourse was delivered ex
temporaneously KEY TO THE SAVIOUR'S LIFE
He announced as his text the twcnly
rifth verse of the second chapter of St
Jo.hn "And need'-d not that any man
should testily of man; Tor He knew what
wasinman " These words werecousidered
in connection with the preceding verse
Alter brief reference to the circumstances
under which he happened to be present,
Dr. Whitman said, in part
"One reads but a little way until he finds
that Jesus was never at a loss in dealing
with men. The key in this specinc case is
the key to His whole life He needed not
that any should speak of man, for He knew
what was in man
"Light is thrown upon this phase of His ,
inracter by the miracle Informed l at the
nrrrage m Caua. Make a table of Christ s
Uracils, and see how the ; C hrlst - like
ch
niarrra
miracles, and see how the Christ - like
spirit stands out There is a distinction be
tween His miracles and those or un otuer
person. Compare them with those per
fonii',d by Moses, and note the difference.
"Christ working miracles exemplified
Hims-lf, and in them we have an index of
His wliol" lire one life in which purpose
and attainment are one.
"There is a purpose in it. Indicating the
kind of life wo should lead, and the willing
ness of God to help us. Christ's life was a
dereAse of the' fattU,, and we are made to
know that 1I was not only a Savior m
Gnlliloo, but the worjd over
"The positive side or life is shown in the
divine eHort to pour Himself out for the
good of the world The positive side Is
what x want. ' ,
" P KOPEK CONCEPTION OF MAN.
"Christ knew -what was in man. He
recognied the lbv;er forms of life tlie
social side. He had regard for tiie family
relations Singularly enough, of all tbe
religions of the ' world it is just Chris
tianity that recognizes man Christianity
alone that has proper conception or man.
In It we have tho proper conception and
exaltation of the ph j Sical .
"Through this we are warned against
asceticism, which refutes itself by defeat
ing itself; against materialism and against
misconception.which confound use with
worship they must have mcaus orsacrince:
thev must have oxen and sheep aud money
changed. How natural for the benefit
or the wearv pilgrims that the tables should
be moved up lo the temple If meanwhile
money changers may turn an honest penny,
whal'matters i it? Would not God be glori-
fied anyway?
"Our Lonl drove out this crowd, not be
cause their business was bad, but be
icaue it was being transacted in the
wrong place
WHAT HE TAUGHT
"He taught thereby that there is a place
where intrusion cannot be permitted He
knew the constant struggle between the
higher and lower life, and that the higher
lias Interests in which the lower must not
intrude.
'The charge ot religious narrowness is
no doubt well founded Man has often
too narrow a conception of life and its
duties It is illustrated in the business
world.
"I have uo patience with men who,
having never seen a thousand dollars i n their
lives, and probably never earned the half
of It iu any one year, are nevertheless
coiistautlv dictating to men of large busi
ness how they shall conduct it.
"The main difficulty is not lack of
knowledge What we need is to estab
lish the pioper relation between knowledge
and will. We should be brought to do
as well as Ave know When we hear It
said of some men that they have strong
will strong impulses. It means that they
possess a good deal of the raw material of
humanity.
"v. need not be troubled over theories.
The heavenly and the earthly are but dif-'
fereut side3 of the same nre cnrisu
taught us how to build. We know how,
for we have seeu the Master Builder."
Dr Whitman closed the services with a
brief prayer, aud wan afterwards person

of the congregation
Did Not Wake Up tho "Watchman.
Editor Times- In an account published in
Saturday morning's Times, of the fire which
occurred ut tbe MacFarland residence, at
12 o'clock Friday night, i notice tnc toi
lowing "An unavailing effort was made to
nrmten fh -wntc!iniau In the Windsor build
ing on the corner of Seventeenth and F
streets who had the koy to the fire box, by
pounding ou the door; finally one of tha
young men, residing in the neighborhood,
climbed through a window and woke up
the sleeper." '
The facts are: There arc two reliefs of
two men each on night duty at the Windsor
building; one from 4 p. m. to 12, and the
other from 12 (midnight) till 8 a. m. Each
watchman has three stories of tho building
under his care, and. is required to patrol all
the corridors and ring in electric
registers ptacecLat tho ends of each, besides
others that arciplaced in tho engine-room,
carpenter shop.etct, every hour.
My relief is fr,om, midnight to 8 a. m. I
had relieved tho other guard and reporter
by telephone to the lieutenant of the watch
at tho Treasury building, aud started
promptly at 12 o'clock to make my first
round I had traversed the corridors of
the two upper Iloors and was in the far
end of the basement when I heard the
knocking ht the door. Supposing it was
the guard I had just relieved returned for
something he had forgotten, 1 concluded to
finish ringing in uc icgiaic-io uu "'
back to the door, whicn, however, did not
delay me more than one minute.
As the fire nlarm was turned in at 12:08 ,1
submit that It would require a lightning
sprinter and sleeper to patrol four corridors,
ring in eight bells, get back to tho door
and fall so fast asleep in those eight min
utes that it" would require one to break
through tho window in order to wake him
It 1b fortunate for me, as -well as the
reputation of watchmen in general, that
the fire occurred at the hour it did. If it
had been two or three hours later, and this
modern Jack Falstaff bad told the same
6tory to your reporter, perhaps Capt. Con
nelly or somo of the Treasury officials
might havo thought thatl had been recreant
to duty and had alien to sleep. As it is,
they know the kind of man he is and what
credence to give his story.

RELIGION IS NOT A DREAM
Dr. Kent Continues His Analysis of
the Lord's Prayer.
Tho Ultima! o Reality of tho TTnlvorso
Is Full of lloneflcont Purpose und
I'nthorly X.OVO.
Rev. Dr. Alexander Kent, ot the People's
Church, yesterday morulng delivered the
second or his series ot discourses on the
Lord's Prayer. His text was Jn the
prayer's second clause, ''Hallowed be
Thy Name."
"Worship is reverence, confidence is
love," began Dr. Kent. "It implies
that there is something In this universe
that Is worthy of reverence, of confidence
and of love. If there is not, all that
Is called worship Is superstition, and re
ligion is only such stuff as dreams are
made or.
"If the so-called atheist is a man of
education and culture, even he i-ecs some
thing in this universe to admire and revere,
and Miniething, in a sense, to love. This
something the religionist calls God, or
some equivalent term. To him It is not
blind and senseless and purposeless. It
Is all-seeing, all conscious, all-powerful.
It is the moving , energizing and vitalizing
reality back of all manifestations.
"To Jesus this ultimute reality of the
universe seemed so full of beneficent pur
pose, so wise in its economy, so firm and
iflt so tender in its government, that He
called it 'Our Father In the Heavens.'
There is no thought of sex in this word any
more than there is in the word man; where
th ancient writer says that God made imn
in His own image and adds 'Male and rc
male cieated He them.'
"Such was HiB thought of 'Our Father
in the Heavens. ' not ofsome father who was,
but who art; who is now and forever will
b, the same jeaterday, to-day, and for
ever. " Wll might Hesay, with such a conception
of God, 'Hallowed be Thy name.' This
petition is a blending ol adoration and
prayer, worship in the highest meaning of
tho word. It is the spontaneous outbreath
ing of a soul filled with a sense of the
infinite goodness.
