PUBLIC INTEREST AROUSED Assertion Was at Secret Meeting of Congregation Members Accept Pas tor's Statement Implicitly Police to Protect Church Today. LONDON. Sept. 13. From the cate gory of eccentric religious sects which exist In every country there comes pe riodically some marvelous pretension, which usually, however, is stirring only In its own environment. One of these this week furnished a striking exception. Jt has drawn the astonished scrutiny of all London and excited the keenest cu riosity in the country. It is a body calling itself Agapemonites. whose lead er last week declared to a fully be lieving congregation that he was Christ. His declaration "was only intended for the faithful, whose admission bad been tested by secret Masonic signs. Some body from the outer world succeeded li passing the portals and gave the public this revelation. . A Sect of Visionaries. It at first was regarded as the calcu lated boast of a blasphemous charlatan seeking notoriety. A history of the sect and the leader, however, placed them among those strange bodies of emotional visionaries where a certain type of mind finds relief in fantastic recoil from ma terialism. The colony of Agapemonites has been living for over a year at Clapton, a quiet Bfiburb of Northeast London. Their lead er, J. H. Pigott, resides and conducts a church there, at which the congrega tion has been worshiping privately since last January till last Sunday, when ad mls'slon was by recognition and signs. He then declared himself to be Christ. Ho has since refused to see any inter viewers or any articles in the newspa. pers, but his congregation has made the following declaration: "We have found Christ. He has come; as we know it. We saw him Sunday. Wc care not Tor the world or the public. We have known for some time of his com ing, and our hopes have been realized. The members number over 100. They are neither rich nor poor, but comfort ably off. They meet the needs of the church from their own purses, and ask nothing from the non-believer. They aress as if in mourning. Day of Grace Past Their belief, in waiting for the pas tor's sUdeveatlon, was that the 4ayJ at sraco was past, ana me aayofjnag-i ment was at hand, togelher""wIth ""(ha second coming of the Messiah. It a therefore time for praise, not for prayer, for the book of judgment had been shut, and the merits of men and women had already been neighed. Their hymn book, which Is termed "The Voice of the Bride.'' shows this belief. 'There is no marriage among them, nor If thert fa Tjaptlsmal font In the church. "With 'the Coming of the Messiah so near, they do not have time for such vanities as courtship and marriage. Those who were already married live as brother and sister. Pigott's wife is a quiet, kindly wom an, who has always absolutely believed In her husband. It Is the personality of Pigott himself which chiefly excites the outer -world. He is the son of a rjch landowner whose family resided on their ownwes'tates in the west of Eng land for many generations. He was cdu cated at Cambridge University, and be came a clergyman of the Church of England. But that life was too un eventful for his ardent spirits. Led a Wild Life. Then, according to his own admission, he led a tiild life In many parts of the world. He had bpen gold digging in California, coffee planting in Ceylon, and salmon llshlng In Northwest America. He had been a sailor before the mast, leading a very loose life, until the cheery invitation of an old sailor brought him back to the faith. He was after ward a major In the Sanation Army. which he quit to enter his present seat, and was the first to be called "Bride of Christ." Pigott is a man sixty years old, tall, dark, clean fahaven, and ascelic looking. His leadership came three years ago, on the death of Henry Prince, who preached that the second coming of Christ would be made known through him on his death-bed. He prophesied that the creed would be fulfilled in his successor. The ashes of Prince were placed in the Clap ton Church, as a talisman of faith. Warned by Clergymen. Many eminent clergymen. Knowing the antecedents of Pigott, have written warnings to Christians agaiiibt him. All who know him concur that he has a curious magnetism and charm of manner. He is generally acquitted of practicing luxurious living, for which his prcdeccs or, Mr. Prince, was notorious. It will be necessary to have elaborate nolice arrangements for tomorrow, when the public service is announced at the Abode or Loe, as the Clapton Church is described. Crowds have been hooting Pigott over his garden wall, but ho has not spoken to anybody except the faith ful since last Sunday. Sunday Concert at the Arsenal.

The French and German army maneuvers last week arc held to confirm the contention that the principles which governed the war in South Africa arc of universal applica tion. The French showed that they hac abandoned the practice of moving troops in large masses through difficult coun try and accepted the initiative of a subaltern, even of a private soldier, as a necessary factor in certain phases of war. The German infantry were spe cially instructed to use shelter trenches, every other soldier carying a'spade. Mr. Brodrick, the secretary of state for war, has approved the scheme of forming a permanent corps of automo bile volunteers in England. The pro posal is that the corps shall consist o owners of automobiles who are willln to register one or more machines for military purposes when required, and drive or provide a qualified driver fo: the machine. j A WARNINC TO ENGLAND SOUNDED BY SCIENTISTS Practical Results of Dis coveries Lost to the Nation. FLAW IN EDUCATIONAL METHODS Believed That Statements Made Before British Association for Advancement of Sciences Will Complete Awaken ing of Public Opinion. LONDON. Sept. 13. A large section of (he scientific world regards tho annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Sciences as an epit ome of the year's progress in human knowledge. The session now being held at Belfast is proving to be of the high est interest in this respect, but the dom inant feature of the proceedings has been the sharp arraignment of their country by theleadlng minds of Great Britain for falling behind the rest of the world in education, energy and enterprise. It has been pointed out in the boldest language by the prcsident.Trof. James' Dewa'r, and-several other eminent men "of science, that while Englishmen have repeatedly discovered new scientific principles and laws of great importance, it has been the Germans and Americans who""have made their practical application- until England Is hopelessly be hindthose countries in reaping the ad vantages. .Vllfagreed that It was the fundamental defktMn the English systems of educa tion which were chiefly responsible' for the distancing of Britain in the race of modern progress. The speakers were all too modest to assert that British men of science are still foremost In the pioneer lines of investigation, though such must be admitted while Lord Kelvin, . Lord Hayleigh. Prof. Dewar and Dr. Ramsay are still In the van. Their charge of inefficiency was brought against the rank and file, the practical workers In chemistry, physics, engineering, and general intention. The proof of the indictment Is notorious, and the explanation, as all the speakers in dicated, lies chiefly in the fact that no educational facilities are provided in England with which to train workers to use the keys to power that are furnished from time to time by the best scientific minds of the country. May Complete Awakening. There is good reason to expect that this stern warning from Belfast will complete tho rousing of Great Britain on the whole subject of education which is now dominant in the public mind, and although an almost hopeless con fusion of views prevails, this issue will largely control politics as well as other departments of public concern for a long time to come. There is no limit to the variety of subjects discussed at Belfast. One of the most practical was yesterday's de bate on trusts and the shipping com bine. Prof. Graham's defense of trusts as the latest new machinery of com merce and industry was of the greatest Interest. He argued that nrodtintlnn un der the trust system had largely In TAKING JUPIAN0S.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13. The American liner Philadelphia has won the trans Atlantic ,race from the German liner Fuerst Bismarck. The Philadelphia pass ed in at the Hook at 1:30 this morning and tied up to her dock at 7 a. m. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Bis marck had not even been sighted. The Philadelphia and the Fuerst Bis marck left Southampton last Saturday, the American ship a few hours in ad vance. The Philadelphia's officers openly stated that they were going to race the Bismarck with their ship. Some of the passengers of the Belgenland, which broke down at sea and put into Halifax for repairs, re turned on the Philadelphia. Their time was somewhat curtailed and they were obliged to come by this steamer. They are in the second cabin. Gen. Joseph Wheeler and his two daughters are pas sengers. General Wheeler, speaking to Captain Mills, said: "Captain. I would like to climb up to that crow's nest." "Go on; I will not stop you." said Captain Mills, and the general did climb u:. Among the other passengers who came were Capt. E. W. Dayton. Baron Von Konlc. Captain Tamblyn and Capt. E. S. Wright and M. H. DeVoung. creased on account of economies and great returns. The trusts would have the power to fix prices at their dis cretion, and "In some cases would be much tempted to raise them beyond what competitive prices would have teen. Nevertheless, the sense of self-interest, if not of pecuniary interest, would operate as a check in important cases. Moreover, self-interest would doubtless prevent the reduction of wages below former levels from the Increasingly clear perception of Intelligent man agers, that good labor was worth high wages and Inferior labor was dear een at low prices. Theories and Experiments. These general theoretic conclusions were afterward compared with the re sults of some notable experiments in trusts, as gathered from American economists, with a view to test their soundness and applicability to real cases that might arise, especially in countries under the system of protec tion which gave a much fuller scope to the flotation of a trust. Most of the records of the progress In various lines of scientific investigations announced thus far are too technical for general popular comprehension. Prof. Schafer, in the physiology sec tion, gave an interesting bit of news about the vermiform appendix, which, he said, was not tho only Item- In tho human anatomy which had hitherto been regarded as useless and superfluous. There was another, he said, called tho pituitary, a body of small glandulai formation about the size of an acorn, which is located at tho base of the brain. Prof. Sehafer has been experimenting with extracts from it and injecting them into live animals. The result has been that the kidneys have been stimulated Into activity, and his inference is that this Is a function of a gland In the head so far away from the object of op erations. The engineering section has been in terested in the model of an electric ex press train, which, paradoxically, stops at all stations. The idea is that a sin gle train composed of several corrldn carriages as It passes' each station drops off behind one carriage contain ing passengers who want to alight thero and picks up in front another from' that station-, all this being done while the JUST An Old Friend With a New Face TalesFrofflJownT The most successful quarterly magazine ever published, circulated and sold everywhere English is read, has begun its twelfth year (No. 45) greatly enlarged and in the form of regular monthly magazines.

Supply Said to Be Larger Than Any Known to Exist in the United States. LONDON, Sept 13. American Initia tive and enterprise have again led the way in England, this time by beginning the vigorous development of natural gas fields near London, which are larger than any known to exist in the United States. These fields were first tapped six years ago In Heathficld, In Sussex, when railway men were boring deep for water. When they were 312 feet down the smell of gas was powerful. They dis regarded It, and thought it was foul air. Even later, when a light was ap plied to the boring and brought a huge burst of flames, nothing practical was done beyond tho railway company il- luminating its depot adjoining with this supply But a year ago some Americans began serious investigations. They formed a company which already has one bora hole 400 feet deep, and several others are being sunk. The 'work Is proceed ing by night and day. Light and Pressure. The gas itself supplies both light and pressure required In the deepest hole. There Is a pressure of 200 feet to the square inch, which is more than the working pressure of most locomotives in this country. The pressure is found to rise steadily as the hole pierces deeper into the beds of porous sand stone that coer the gas bearing strata. The pressure Is sufficient to carry gas to any of thcr large cities of England. The output from the deepest boring is 15,000,000 cubic feet a day, or one-eighth of the total daily sale of gas in Lon don. The company, which is called the Na tural Gas Fields of England, has ac quired the sole right to lay gas mains on all lines of the London and Brighton ant" the Southeastern, which arc two ot the chief railways In the south of Eng. land. Already a number of houses In Heathfield are lit by natural gas. BABONESS VON WREDE WINS PECULIAR SUIT Hotel Man Admits Insult to Lyman Gage's Niece.

The director at first adhered to his original statements, but the evidence against his' contention was overwhelm ing, whereupon the matter was compro mised. The director agreed to declare that his nsscrtion was absolutely false and to publish an apology In Germany, France, England, America, and Italy. Money for the Poor. He also .agreed to deposit 500 marks with the American consul for distribu tion among the poor, and to pay all the costs.

NEGRO'S NARROW ESCAPE FROM INFURIATED MOB Arrested at Camden, N. J., and Shot Policeman Shreeves Trying to Get Away. CAMDEN, N. J., Sept. 13. Frank Dan iels, colored, who gives bis residence as Atlanta, Ga., and who is' suspected of being tho man who committed the as sault upon Mrs. Lydla Hudson at Mer chantsvllle last night, this morning shot and probably fatally wounded Officer Isaac Shreeves, who had him under ar rest, when Daniels attempted to es cape, the officer shot, inflicting a flesh wound In the negro's leg. Daniels returned the Are. one of the shots taking effect in the officer's stom ach. The negro then ran away, and a number ot men employed at the Penn sylvania Railway shops at Pavonia started In pursuit, recapturing the ne gro. Infuriated both by the news of the negro's fiendish act last night and the wounding of the officer, a crowd of angry citizens clamored for his delivery to them with the Intention of stringing him up to a tree. With a squad of eight policemen, the man was finally brought to Camden, but they had all they could do to protect him, as the mob endeavored to break Into the court-room. During the exchange of shots between the officer and negro, the ten-year-old son of Christian Horning, a wagon builder, was shot in the arm by a stray bullet. The negro was committed with out ball. Officer Shreeves Is In Cooper Hospital In a critical condition. The physicians located the bullet in the groin. This is the second assault made upon white women In Camden within three days.

" MEANWHILE, HE IS CONTENT Master of Moat House Declares That He Is Enjoying Life, Is Wot Writing Any Letters, and Has Not Taken Any Hand in Deveiy Fight. LONDON, Sept. 13, A reporter went to Wantage today and interviewed Rich ard Crokcr (n regard to his plans for the future, and as to the stories about his return to New York this fall. "What now Ho has been invented about me that wants denying?" was Mr. Croker's greeting to the reporter, who found him working on an ornamental clock In front ot Moat House. "I wish people would believe me when I say I am out of politics for good and ever," be added, almost wearily. Then be smiled In an appreciative manner as he looked over tho bright domains over which he is master, and continued: "I am contented to be out of the game. I am enjoying 'the racing and having lots of fun. If ever I decide to re-enter politics, which Is not at all probable, I'll notify every paper In New York. Until I do, take my word for it, I'm out. "Of course, I'll continue to hold my own views about politics, as I havo al ways done, but will not participate in the fight. I have not meddled in poll tics since I've been here. Devery sayt I'm Interfering In his district and send ing repeaters to lick him. It's a ile, and Devery knows it. Chosen Without Consultation. "As for Tammany, the three gentle men now at Its head were selected with out my advice or consultation with me. I know nothing about their choosing. Please say this: I haven't written to them, nor have they written to me. Neither directly nor indirectly have I meddled with them. They are making a great fuss about Tammany. Tammany is all right, and has got good men. Things will straighten themselves out all right. "As for my return, I shalfnot go this year. Maybe next summer I'll go to Saratoga and see the races. I'd like to see Saratoga since Its been Improved. Whitney's a wonder. He's done a lot foi sport. "But what'a the use of my denying I'm out of politics. Tomorrow or next day seme one in New York will say I wrote a letter and all you fellows nock out here and I deny all over again. It's amusing stuff that? appears In the papers about me. Not one word of truth In It. I have fun In .reading what they say. If the papers are no more truthful about other people than me, I can't say much about the reliability of the papers. No papers worry me not a bit; nice time I would have if they did," and his face lighted up with a smile." Mr. Croker continued: "Some papers AND COMPANY. Leaders Since 1867. If we aspired only to excel competi tion we could have let weH.enough alone. Saks Clothing has been the best since we began making it. But we've an honest ambition to make it the BEST POSSIBLE TO BE MADE. That's why we study to im prove it with experience as the teacher. It's logical that if the best materials -are put into the hands of the most skilled workmen the best product is the result. If you could hear the whisperings in the trade you'd know of their acknowl edgment of Saks-bestness. Its fundamentals are right. Its et ceteras are right. It's fight in the small est detail. It shows for itself and that is why we are continually asking you to make comparisons. Comparisons prove the vantage points.

One paper said I had purchased a house on Carlton House Terrace, In London, next door to William Waldorf Astor, and Intended to break Into society. Just imagine," -and Mr. Croker smiled again. The 'squire and the reporter during the progress of the talk walked abotft the grounds, and now stopped at the edge of the pond which supplies the power for the dairy. "One story," the 'squire declared, "said I got Into a tem per with a dealer over prices and threw my milk Into the pond there. Just Im agine me doing anything so foolish." "How., about national issues?" asked the reporter. The 'squire replied: "Nothing for pub lication; It wouldn't be consistent. Tho people would say Croker says he Is out of politics and here he Is discussing them." Gun for Reporters. Mr. Croker then led the way to th paddock and talked horse for nearly an hour. As they approached a bridge which led over a brook, the reporter espied a cannon and asked "What la that for?" "For reporters," said the 'squlre,,"but I don't think Its neavy enough," and the 'squire's smile was as genial as tho Tammany Tiger's own grin. "A New "York friend sent it to me," he said. "It was captured during the; Revolution, and has a crown or some thing on It. Just say that I never felt better and that I am having lots of fun in watting to see some of the papers come out with a story about Moat Houso being fortified as a result of having that gun.
