TALKED ON NEGROES. PROMINENT SPEAKERS DISCI'SS PROMINENT SPEAKERS DISCUSS THE COLORED RACE AT THE PEOPLE'S CHURCH. Dr. Sinclair, a Colored Edneator, Lieut. Gov. Day and Dr. Smith Deliver Addresses. Dr. W. A. Sinclair, of Howard uni versity, Washington city; Lieut. Gov. Day and Rev. Samuel Smith were list ened to last night at the People's church by a numerous audience, in a discussion of the "Negro Problem." Dr. Sinclair is himself a colored man, and the. race were well represented in the body of the church. It had been intended that Senator Stevens should be heard, but owing to his unavoidable absence, his place was taken by Lieut. Gov. Day. The latter's remarks were necessarily brief and extempore. Said he: "Not a people have made greater progress In recent years— ln science, culture and education— than the ne groes of this country. As we grow in wisdom we will grant that race the fullest meed of suffrage, which they well deserve. Theirs is a great field of usefulness in this land, and they will take eventually as prominent a part in our social and political affairs as any of the other races which have come to us." Dr. Sinclair followed upon "Educa tion of the Negro." He referred espe cially to his own— the Howard univers ity. It had turned out 303 colored min isters, 336 lawyers and 87 students in medicine. There are 1,871 students in the normal department, and, including its numerous graduates, not less than 5,000 students - have been received by the university.. It has forty .professors arid officials, -"enough of them colored to give color to the college." Although fairly well provided for, the Howard is at present in need of $10,00. After speaking of the handicap of former slavery, the doctor added: "The strongest hope of the negro race in its capacity for adaptability. We are great imitators." The pastor. Dr. Smith, took up the moral side of the question. He set forth t>3 incidental benefits of slavery, and said: "The hand of Providence was displayed in the propagation of slavery. The slave ships were also mission ships. It is no secret, perhaps, that thousands of negroes in the South I lie, steal and are extremely unchaste. I It is only a wonder that they are as good as they are. I believe it is also true that there are proportionately more church members among the ne groes there than among any other race. The genius of the negro mind naturally tends to spiritual development." Gordon to Lecture. Heroic bravery of Union soldiers, the undaunted courage of Southern men, the self-sacrifice of noble Southern women, the patriotism of Northern womanhood, will be the theme of Gen. Gordon in his great lecture, "The Last Days of the Confederacy," to be deliv ered at the People's church Thursday evening next. : The sale of seats opens this morning at Howard, Farwell & Co.'s.

Morrow, em ployed on the Merriam 'Park division of the Twin City Rapid Transit com pany's lines, died yesterday from the result of injuries received in a street car collision last Friday evening. His demise occurred at his -home, 96 Dale street, where he has lain since the accident. - Z-*y_~X,. :;-._r~ '*-- The accident in which Morrow re ceived his fatal injuries occurred at the junction of the Merriam Park branch with the interurban line. On Friday evening, while preparing for the return trip to 'Merriam- Park, Morrow was obliged to go in the rear of his car to get- the trolley in posi tion. As his gaze was directed to the wire overhead, he did not notice an approaching motor, and the grip man failing to see the darkened car standing on the track ahead,' allowed his car to collide with it. Morrow was caught between the bumpers, receiving the brunt of the collision on his left leg directly below the hip. His leg was badly lacerated, the flesh, being separated from the bone, and the wound bled profusely. As speedily as possible-Morrow was REMOVED TO HIS HOME in the Rondo street patrol wagon. He suffered exceedingly, but Dr. Leavitt, who was called, pronounced his wound not dangerous. A similar opinion was expressed by Drs. Rob illard and Bradburn, the company's physicians. Morrow recuperated rapidly, and Saturday his condition had so much improved, apparently, that his physicians believed he would be able to leave his room inside a fortnight. He suffered a relapse, however, , during the night, and was delirious for hours. After that he sank rapidly. His death was prob ably hastened by chronic heart trouble, from which Morrow had long suffered. . tZi: Conductor Morrow was practically a new employe of the company, hav ing entered the service last Decem ber. He was, however, an experi enced railroad man. For several years' he was employed as yardmas ter at the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul yards at Chicago. In that city Morrow was prominently identified with Golden Rule Lodge No. 325, X. . of P. .His funeral will be conducted under the auspices of St. Paul lodges of the order. Mr. Morrow leaves a widow.

ONE OF ST. PAIL'S FIRST WHITE CHILDREN CALLED HOME. HEART DISEASE THE CAUSE Though He Hod Deen Ailing: Ever Since tbe War— Sketch of His Life. Alfred V. Guerin, who was one of the first white children born in St. Paul, died yesterday at the home of his moth er, widow of the late Vital Guerin, who resides at 353 Rice street. The immedi ate cause of death was heart disease, though Mr. Guerin has been suffering from ill health ever since he was in the army. Alfred V. Guerin was born here on Jan. 22, 1847. He srved as a scout under command of Pierce Bottineare, during the Indian trouble. He afterwards en listed in Company D, Second regiment of Minnesota, and went South with the regiment. During the forced march of the regiment through Virginia, through mud and water, he was taken sick, and was confined to the hospital for three months. He never fully re covered from tha effects of. this ill ness, but had gradually declined ever since. For the past fifteen years he has been unable to do work of any kind. \yZ. i - Mr. Guerin was a member of the Jun ior Pioneers, and was very popular with all his associates. His funeral takes place from the residence Wednes day morning, and . will be conducted under the auspices of the Junior Pio neers. Funeral services will be held in St. Louis church, corner of Wabasha and Exchange streets. Interment will be made in Calvary • came tery. :..-.->■„ ! '" .... ... „■--.. .-._w.;- CUT THE SALARIES. CUT THE SALARIES. RAMSEY COUNTY DELEGATION HOLDS A MEETING." J 0 REDUCTION IS AGREED UPON As Regards Salaries of City Of- ficers, but Could Not Agree on Those of County. . -r *-** : A meeting of the Ramsey, county A meeting of the Ramsey county delegation was held last evening at the Commercial club. Nearly all the sen ators and representatives were pres ent. The bills relating to salaries of county and city officials were dis cussed at length. It was agreed to unite in pushing the city salary bill through with speed. This fixes the salaries of city officials at the sums already mentioned "as being incorpo rated into the Howard charter and in the bill Introduced by the Ramsey county delegation. These sums are to be the maximum salaries until such time as the city council, shall, by a three-fourths vote, change or fix them. There was some opposition to the sal aries named, in individual cases, but the delegation finally got together. It was agreed that the bill should go In to effect, so as to reduce the salaries mentioned, beginning on July 1 of this year. The question was raised that the changing of salaries of city officials would be special legislation, as it was in the nature of changing special pro visions of a charter, but there was not an unanimity of sentiment in favor of such construction. -".-.; > The bill to regulate the salaries of county officials occasioned consider able discussion and diversity of opin ion. Some thought it would be unjust to officers who had spent large sums of money in the campaign, to have their salaries cut . before the end of their respective terms. . Others favored ' the reduction to take effect after one year, and a few wanted the bill to be put into operation at once. There was so much difference of opinion that the delegation found they could not unite upon the time of change, and the bill was laid over for a future conference.- It is probable that no agreement will be reached by the members on this, measure and they, will fight it out upon the floors of the senate and house. • LOAD OF GASOLINE ON FIRE. A Lamplighter's. Terror at Find- ing His Coat Ablaze. The Fourth street tunnel was the scene "of great excitement for a few minutes just before 6 o'clock last evening. It was occasioned by a fire of peculiar origin. A city lamplighter accidentally allowed his fuse to come in contact with a can of gasoline. This ignited a dozen or more cans in his cart and threatened the demoli tion of the entire outfit. Fearing an explosion, the , terror-stricken lamp lighter frantically attempted to un hitch his horse. Some railroad men came to his assistance and released the animal. •" In the meantime the burning vehicle attracted a big crowd. Some one one turned in an alarm and soon the clatter of the fire apparatus was heard. The fire was quickly extin guished by the chemical, but the lamplighter's wagon was a wreck. A slight fire broke out at 9:45 o'clock last evening at 679 Orange street. It originated from a defective flue. The loss was nominal. THE IDEAL GOSPEL Was the Subject of Rev.

IUO MISSION OF JESUS CHRIST MISSION OF JESUS CHRIST :-^v.v; :;:_ril ;. To Explain the Mysterious and Unfold the Truth to j ; Mankind. i; Rev. Addison Moore, of the Wood land Park Baptist . church, addressed a large congregation yesterday after noon on "The Ideal Gospel," taking as his text, Romans i., 16: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ." "The word gospel," said Mr. Moore, "has come to us directly from the An glo-Saxon, and was originally ' two words. In its earliest form it was writ ten 'God-spellen,' and 'spellen' is an Anglo-Saxon verb, meaning .to speak or to tell. 'God-spellen' means, there fore, God's speech, or that which God tells." ... ",'.* "As God speaks through various sources, it follows that there are many, gospels— as, for instance, the gospel of nature, as set forth by rocks and rills, by sun and stars, and laws that reign in nature. There is the gospel of.sci ence, as declared by geology and as tronomy, by botany and chemistry and all the. classified details of a the ology of nature. There is a gospel of philosophy, as formulated by the meta physicians, and a gospel of the body, as declared by the medical fraternity. Through these and many others God speaks certain truths in no uncertain tone, telling of fundamental laws that govern in their various spheres, and declaring Himself as creator and pre server of them . all. .__ut . with . these revelations, man has never been con tent. They terrify by the awfulness of their inexorable decrees, and shroud the soul of man in gloom because of the terrible power which gives them strength to reign. All creation Is groaning; waiting for the adoption whereby men shall be made sons of God, indeed, sharing His secrets and dwelling under the refuge of His love.- "Here is a beautiful bit of silk, most delicately woven and of glorious hue.

It is the ideal gospel, because it touches our lives at every' point from the cradle to the grave, and so enables us t« attain unto that life which masters death and gains' the crown of endless joy." :-.*i.. |j " EGBKRT-S SERMON. ' The: Eloquent Minister Talks on Thel Grandeur of Christianity. "The Grandeur of Christianity was the topic upon which Rev. John Paul Egbert preached yesterday, morning to a large congregation at the House of Hope church. He said. in part: * ' " ' '• Z'X-ZZ: \ . "When the apostles <5f Jesus Twejre ranged . "before the sanhedrim; ' one Gamaliel stood up and said: 'Refrain from these men and let them alone, for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to naught. ' But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest happily ye be found 'to fight even • against God." This is the statement of the writer of the book of- Acts, in the fifth chapter and thirty-eighth and thirty-ninth verses. If Gamaliel were * here he might have some illustrations Of the wisdom of his counsel at this time. The Apostle Paul was his pupil. The teacher said: "If this be of God, ye cannot overthrow it." We make no discovery that Gamaliel ever made it a personal matter beyond a wise leader's advice to his people.'' His pupil, the Apostle Paul discovered that this counsel and this work were - of God; then immediately threw the prodigious energy of his mind and body into its preaching, teaching all . the nations of the earth. His view; of it *fc-as, if it is not of God, it ought to be put to death as quickly aspbs^ sible. And he put the same forces*' of ; mind and body to work in j cte-"' stroying ; the counsel and work jo£ Jesus Christ that he terwads put, ; to work in increasing that counsel, and work in the world. It was _te same man 'looking at the subject from a different point of view after a different 'experience. . * . '.' I -<s "Now we have Christ's conception of Christianity— that it is the spirito of a new life, of a divine life for;us! "to Jive, on earth and wherever we may. live in the days to come. And we saw how that spirit of life I in-; Him went to His disciples, traps-1 formed them, sent them forth io-n' their great missions, and through their teachings began' the trans- formation of the world. And then we applied it to this country.' :'*'*^ ~: "Now, today, I wish to apply. it on a little larger scale. I want you to look at the grandeur, of Christianity's mis- sion in the world. Christ gave a com mand: 'Go ye Into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Go ye" and teach all nations whatso- ever I command ye.' Look for a mo- ment at what the conception was. The conception was that a man should no longer live for himself, live for com fort, live; for "ease, live for success," ' live for ; gain, live for influence' live for social position, live for fame. He was to live for the glory of God. Now, what does : that 1 mean ? . What ' is ' the highest : glory of a plant? That it brings * forth ' its own most beautiful flower, most luscious* fruit. What is the- highest' glory of a man? " That he brings forth the highest product of ;, every faculty, of every, power in his , nature. 'The heavens declare. the glory: of, God.' Why? .By perfectly perform ing their duty. The plant declared j the * glory of God by perfectly* fulfilling its i place : in creation. The man perfectly glorifies God when he brings forth the highest and best that his nature is capable of producing. .

No further advanced than it was five hundred years before.- Then there was a new start. Let me give you an illustration which possibly will give, you some conception of what is in progress now. In .the year . 1705 Frederick IV.. of Denmark, we are told, was sitting one day in his study pondering over a petition which was placed before him from Tranquebar, in India, where, for ninety years, the Danish East India company had been at work. This was the . petition of a widow for redress because her hus band had been killed by the savage natives. As he sat there thinking the thought came to his mind, we are told by his chaplain. 'For ninety years ray vessels * have gone there; for ninety years this company has made pro digious sums of money there, and for ninety years the entire people* of that world have been untouched by any Christian influence from us.' And when- the chaplain came in to discuss this petition he said: 'Is it possible for us to send a missionary there* "Missions were dead. There were no missionaries then. . Elliot, In this country, was doing his work among the Indians, but the story, of his life had not reached Denmark or Germany They searched months before they could find a man who would think of going. And then, down in a little vil lage near Dresden— this chaplain was a German— they found . Ziegenbalg I wish you were all perfectly familiar with his life, that I might simply name him. Although hindered in every way by the East Indies company, at last he could speak to the people, ', and he laid the foundations of missions in India. What if he could look back today -and see 700,000 communicants and 3,000,000 adherents in that same India in the Christian church ' which has followed him? '.. "Remember that is the work of a hundred years. Now what was done? You master a language, and . you have not yet mastered the thought. You* must know a language and. talk. to the people for years ore. you will, know the thought within . the r. language. And when you take the twenty-seven languages which are to be faced, one after -the other, you see what the mis sionaries have to go through. ..The Indian missionaries have experienced much opposition from, both the Eng lish government and the English East .India company, and yet in 1872 the gov ernor general of India sent word to parliament that the missionaries were worth all things else .combined in civ ilizing , the East.

In a few minutes 'the travelers were stripped of 'everything, not a stitch of cloth ing being left on their bodies, and .the robbers were sitting in circles quarreling over the - spoil. Some pity for the unfortunate men finally entered the bosoms of the Arabs. and their hats and shoes were re turned to them.

A BIT OF A HITCH. There May Be No Bowling Be- tween St. Paul and Chicago. ROW OVER FINGER BALLS. Chicagoans Want to Use Them —Mr. Foley Wants Them Barred. SULLIVAN IS MUCH BETTER. * irf» | His Physician Thinks He Will Recover—Base Ball and Other Sports. A hitch has evidently arisen in the arrangements for the proposed bowling tourney between Chicago and St. Paul teams. The following article, which appeared in yester day's. Chicago Inter Ocean, ex plains the situation: W. V. Thompson, of this city, for warded a letter yesterday to the of fice of the Brunswick-Balke-Col lender company specifying the con ditions which the Plaza club want observed to consummate the pro posed bowling match between their organization and the Foley Star club, of St. Paul. The company sent the following letter to Mr. Foley at St. Paul: CHICAGO, 111., March 23.— Thomas Foley, Esq.— Dear Sir: We are in re ceipt of a communication from W. Y. Thompson, of the Plaza Bowling alley, in which he says in reply to your condi tions for a match between teams of bowlers from St. Paul and Chicago: We have used nothing but finger balls in Chicago for years. I don't under stand why Mr. Foley is so particular to know how we deliver the ball. !/e don't care anything about their delivery. No two bowlers bowl alike. We cer tainly would not change our style of bowling in order to get a match game. We bowl according to the latest print- ed rules governing ten-pin match games. The only question with us is: Do they bowl, regulation size balls, alley sixty feet, at regulation size and weight pins, set up the proper distance apart? Wo will have balls and pins weighed and measured before the contest. If you cannot arrange the games as first proposed, I would suggest we bowl four games, the Foley Stars to bowl in St. Paul and we to bowl here, two games an evening, the club making the highest . score . for the four, games to be considered the winner, the losing club to pay all expenses. I will go to St. Paul when the club in that city bowls, and Mr. Foley can come here when we bowl. After such a contest, I think we could arrange our proposed championship contest more satisfactor ily. Will you kindly inform us what you intend to do in response to this propo sition of Mr. Thompson? Yours very truly, BRUNSWICK-BALKE-CO^LENDER company. ZzyXXfA XXX, ,r ";... ! • , Foley's proposition is that the players shall use balls with and with- out finger "holes," and this appears to be the stumbling- block upon which the two organizations are; liable to split. Bowlers are aware that there is a great deal of difference between the two styles of balls. A player who has been in the habit of rolling en- tirely with handballs would be com- pletely at sea if suddenly required to use finger holes, and vice versa. It would be a pity, however, to see the contest fall through for this rea- son. ; Foley's proposition seems rea sonable, and the Plaza club might yield a little in order to bring about the proposed meeting. Foley's idea , is to play two games in each city, one game with balls having finger holes and one without. This would place trie teams upon an equality, as they would each use balls they were not accustomed to, and also balls they were in the habit of playing with at their regular meetings. The old style of bowling v/as the hand ball. In Germany, where bowl ing is a favorite pastime, balls with finger holes are rarely, if ever, seen at any alley, and yet Germans are credited with being the best bowlers in the world. Balls with finger holes have been introduced in this country since bowling has become popular here, but there are many styles of games in vogue today in which they are never used, even among American bowlers. SULLIVAN MICH BETTER. His Physician _o**vThinl.s He Will Recover. BOSTON, Mass., March 24-John Sul livan, who caught a severe cold last week, which threatened to develop Into pneumonia, was. resting comfort ably tonight, and Dr. Ordway, his phy sician, says that if he can keep the big fellow in doors for a few days longer all danger will have passed. Sullivan has been confined to his room at the house of his sister, with whom he is at present making his home, for four days, and on Friday night his condition was considered serious. ] Good nursing and medical attendance, . he says, has put him on his feet again. '••■''* '.*' With the appearance of spring, Sul livan discarded his overcoat, and the day after the Kilrain-O'Donnell fight, at which he became greatly excited, he complained of feeling ill. Dr. Ord way was called In at the suggestion of Sullivan's sister, but he had to talk to the ex-champion three hours before he convinced him that he was sick enough to go to bed. Sullivan was able to sit up four hours today, and says that he will get out into the sun shine in a day or two. •NEW YORK, March 24.— was re ported tonight that John L. Sullivan was dying in Boston. Champion James J. Corbett was seen, and when told of the report, he said: ' - "I can hardly believe it is true, for I had a telegram this afternoon saying there was •no danger of Sullivan's death. Poor John. He was his own worst enemy. But with all that he was the best man of his time. He was the greatest fighter in his time that ever lived. He was an older man than I am, and I am content to represent my time. Let him have all the credit for his. The only trouble with Sullivan was that he did not know how to take care of himself. If he had taken care of himself he would have been as good a man today as he ever was. - * "I remember the night I knocked him out at New Orleans. I was glad to win, but when I saw Sullivan lying in the ring there I felt awfully sorry for ■him, and the thought came into my mind that some I would be in the same position myself. You can say that I was sorrier for Sullivan's con- dition than words can express." BOSTON, Mass., March 25.-1 a. m.- At this hour Sullivan is resting quietly. llrool.lyii ': Handicap Odds. Defiant New Jersey bookmakers of dubious standing in the community have selected an untimely hour for the announcement of future betting odds on the Brooklyn handicap. With the passage "" of the constitutional amendment against gambling in New York state it was thought that no bookmaker would tempt fortune by issuing odds. Now that the Percy racing bill is on the. eve of becoming a law the sports in New Jersey have become bold, and are flooding- the country with their betting lists.

Dick Burge, the champion welter- weight of -England, cabled recently that -he would box Cither Walcoit or Ryan for a purse and side Wager of not less than $5,000. The boxer that defeats Burge will win considerable money, as there are a couple of wealthy men . behind the English champion. When Corbett heard that Griffo wanted to box -him four one-minute rounds he just laughed at it. "He must' be crazy. He's a clever fellow, but he's * too fresh. Why don't he fight 'Kid' Lavigne? I'll back La- vigne for $10,000 against Griffo, and I'll bet Lavigne will beat him." > The Philadelphia friends of Owen Zeigler, the ex-amateur champion lightweight, are anxious to match their man against young Griffo. They claim they , have $5,000 which they will put. up for a twenty-round go or a finish fight. It Is reported that Mick Dunn and Joe Wolcott have been matched to box twenty rounds before the Sea- side club on April 1. The preliminary bo-it will be between Jimmy Barry and Kid Madden. Pugilist James J. Corbett is resting . in New York, his show having dis- banded. He said that he had been try- ing for many months to arrange a match with Bob Fitzsimmons, but had found that it was impossible. Jackson has accepted Slavin's chal lenge, but stipulates that the fight must be before the National Sporting club. As the National Sporting club will refuse to offer a purse, the ac- ceptance amounts to nothing. A match has been made for a limited contest between Kid McCoy, who won from Shadow Maber at Memphis, and Danny Needham, ex-champion welter- weight. The contest will take place In Chicago early in April. Billy Murphy, the Australian feath erweight, and Johhny Lavack, the Cleveland boxer, who is regarded as a coming champion; are matched to box ten rounds in Cleveland, April 29. Murphy's match with "Kid" Hogan has been declared off. Kid Lavigne has accepted the chal lenge of young Griffo to fight for the lightweight championship. He says James Corbett and W. A. Brady have agreed to back him to the extent of $10,000.- ZZzZ'yxz: A telegram from the Olympic club of .New Orleans, signed by Charles Dickson, president, and James C. Pey- ton, secretary,, offers a purse of $_>,- 000 for the Corbett-Fitzslmmons fight. Jack Mc-Aullffe says he has the as- surance, of his physician that his left arm,, which was broken in his last* fight, will shortly be in condition to allow him to enter strict training. An English theatrical manager offers Sullivan $750 a week for twelve weeks to spar in London music halls with Charlie Mitchell. John may accept. ]_ "Shadow"' Maber will now withdraw that challenge to fight any 145 or 150 - man in the country since his defeat by "Kid" McCoy. A London cablegram says Slavin, who defeated Craig in London, has challenged Peter Jackson to a fight for $2,500 a side. Tim O'Rourke has cabled Joe Wal- cott's acceptance" of Dick Burge's challenge for a mill in England for $2,500 a side. ...:. Jem Smith has issued a challenge to Ted Pritchard or any other pugilist who aspires to the championship of England. ■ Tommy O'Donnell. of Trenton, N. J., has issued a challenge to fight any* 105-pound man in America. AMONG THE THOROUGH II REDS. Some slight variations are to be noted in the quotations on the Chicago and . National derbys.

The offi cials have held a number of meetings within the past few days, but nothing of a definite nature was arranged until yesterday.

The Roby track will remain open until the Hawthorne course begins its spring season early in May. Billy Lakeland has in J. R. Keene's string 25 horses and has moved a part of them to the Sheepshead Bay track.

The other deal Is on .-an even basis— the. Phillies getting an inflelder and an outfielder ,in ex change. . Carey. Baltimore's new first base-< mart, had a batting average of .»» and a fielding average of .980 in 130 games with Milwaukee last season, tallying an average of one run per "game.
