The first commencement march of the
graduating cla 3 of the High school was nt
the St. Mary'H Avenue Congregational church
yesterday morning , when the seniors filed In
to Haton. to the baccalaureate address by
Nov. Dr. Duller. The best scats In the house
had been reserved for them , and , while the
organ was playing the voluntary , they were
escorted to their places us they appeared In
procession from their rendezvous In the base
ment. If the sexes are not equally repre
sented In this claua cither girls tor boys
were temporarily clothed with senlorlc
honors on this occasion , for every lass had
her male ctcort.
Appropriately enough , as the ( lector said ,
the scripture lesson was that portion of the
writings of Solomon In praise of wisdom , and
In the course of the preliminary services the
pastor extended a gracious , formal welcome
to the guests of the congregation , describing
the school children of the United States as
the bullion of American civilization , ready to
bo stamped nnd put In circulation , augmentIng -
Ing the moral forces of the land. At the con
clusion of the sermon Or. Uutlcr gave each
member of tlic class a cordial hand grasp ,
and was Imitated In this by miny members
of the congregation.
Or. Butler Is always moro poetical than
logical , dealing with pictures rather than
with propositions , n statement certainly not
lacking In commendation , slnco some one
has made the remark , generally accepted as
true , that the name of every great preacher
Is the name of a poet. And only yesterday
morning Or. Duller himself confessed a feel
ing from which no other Inference can bo
drawn than that ho Is prone to turn from
facts , especially If they be hard , cold facts ,
to the fancies which facts suggest. Rather
than bo held down to the contemplation of
mere physical phenomena , with sight going
no further because actual knowledge goes
no further , ho would prefer to have the
fancies of the child who In the forked
lightning In tlio sky "saw Jesus strike a
match. " Rather than that his astronomy
should bo a study only of angles and arcs
and his conception of the celestial array
as only a bewildering Infinity of whirling
fire mists with Its myriad of suns destined
to gradually cool down Into Arctic night
rather than consider the moon simply a
mass of cold slag , ho prefers to regard
the heavenly dome vocal with the great
language of God , Inaudible % except to the
rovcrcnt Imagination , but none the less
authentic. As a rule , therefore , Dr. Duller
gives Imagery rather than argument ; his dis
courses arc kaleidoscopic rather than con
secutive , but none the less uplifting and In
spiring , and as many would agrco perhaps
more so on this account.
The sermon yesterday was from the text :
"The Invisible things of Him are clearly
coon , being perceived through the things
that are made , even'His everlasting power
and divinity. " The discourse was In the
main an exhortation to seek to perceive the
spirit In and behind nature through material
phenomena. The visible Is much , but the
Invisible more ; matter Is much , but force
moro. It Is possible to tell to the fraction
of a pound the weight of the bodies In the
celestial system , and their magnitude Is Im
pressive , but greater still than these mighty
masses Is the power that hurls and trundles
and tosses thorn In their courses from one
part of their orbit to the opposite. The
things that arc-seen are- only tissue , veils ,
films and arc temporal. The real and the
'important truth Is the truth that is behind.
The things which are not seen are eternal.
It is the quest of the trub student to ace
through these films and veils , to reason
from effect to cause until the succession Is
traced back to "Him of nil causes the cause. "
It is the old doctrlno oC looking through nature -
turo to nature's God. Studious only of the
things that can bo seen , one will become
mentally and spiritually short sighted , losing
by dlsuso the faculty ot higher perception.
This leads to agnosticism and rationalism ,
while faith follows the flight of the Intel
lect from things themselves to the spirit
that creates thorn , maintains them nnd
moves them.
It seems possible that Dr. Duller does not
bellovo lllerally In the biblical story of the
fall of man , for ho said nature and man ,
wild Is a part of nature , hud been grossly
maligned. He said that If a child of his
should , under his prohibition , happen to
pluck a rose from his garden ho would not
on that account bo BO offended as to allow
the garden to grow up Into brambles and ho
bollovad God woUld do no such like thing.
Ho believed that man Is not born a natural
devil , but Is oven now made a little lower
than the angels In fact , that the creation
that wo know exalts God , Is the garment ot
God. the robing of the royal , Infinite , eternal
Invincible. Dr. Duller sees moro In the
clouds than watery vapors. They are to
him the chariots of God. He hears more In
the soughing breezes than a simple move
ment of the air ; this and the sounding of
the seaa and the swinging of the heav
enly orbs are to him th'o stately stepping of
a power not ourselves. They are God marchIng -
Ing on. Right hero Dr. Duller Is willing to
worship at the shrine of the "poor Indian
whoso untutored mind sees God In the cloud
and hears him In the wind. "
If students cannot part this veil and look
behind .they can never leaven life. Ho was
no student of the Columbian exposition who
Walked through' the , art stored buildings nnd
observed bnly the things that wcro made ,
who did not In his mind evolve the artisans ,
the personalities that made them.
Reverent science. Dr. Duller declared , Is
religion according to the strictest definition
ot that word derived from Its etymology It
iilmlr to God. Nature Is God's phonograph ,
Into which from day unto day , slnco crea
tion began , Ho hath uttered speech. Scien
tific research wus urged , but only as standing
In the vestibule of the unseen though vital
God , only ns beholding the vesture of God ,
simply the garment wo see Him by.
And reverent science Is the truest worship.
In the grove "In the trantiulllty that Thou
dost love Is continual worship. " Can He
Whose temple no man lias built , Whoso
fiuuo. ( ho earth cannot contain , bo pleased
only with rite and repetition nnd solemn
uniform ceremony and genuflection ? Ho can
bo satisfied wth nothing less than a worship
which Implies some recognition of Ills worth-
Bhlp. Ho who truly considers the lilies Is
a true worshiper. Ho who finds "tongues
In the trees , books In the running brooks ,
Ecrmons lu stones und good In everything"
la a true worshiper. Reverent science sup
plies a table In the wilderness , a feast
Bwcetor than honey , riches more to be de
sired than gold. Kcplar found tlio foot
prints of the Creator In red sandstone.
Calculating the power of God as teen In
the universe Newton grow dizzy. Wo ad
mire the skill ot a train dispatcher who sees
that expresses and freights shall run with
out collision or delay. Dut what about the
power of God , who guides the Innumerable
worlds In , their awlft courses ? "No talking
to the man nt the wheel. " Ho cannot suffer
Interruption ; but God has time to listen to
the praycfs ot babes and the chirps of spar-
Tows. Human power Is overcome by Inertia.
God's power Is everlasting. The universe Is
furmlng on schedule time , and one may com
pute to a second just where In the sky any
certain sun will bo centuries hence.
All this means something. Rvery house Is
bullded by some man , He who built all
things Is God. What a robing Is nature for
some unrcvealod event , Continue therefore
to learn. Final knowledge Is ns for away as
at drat. The discoverable U yet Infinite and
knowledge Is Its own reward.

on page 11 the following : "The best known
woman painter of northern Europe Is said
to be Baroness Emma. Bporre of Norway. "
This Is a mistake respecting her name and
birthplace. I am from Stockholm , Sweden ,
and personally acquainted with the lady
you mention. Her name is Sparre , not
Sporre. She was born In Stockholm ,
Sweden , not In Norway. There Is In Nor
way only one noble family , Wedel Jarls-

Norway. I beg only hereby to correct this
mistake , and I remain , M. HUMBLE.

tire of it. It Is ono of the attractions that
was born with Courtland and Manager Grlf-

Mr. Griffiths has secured an attraction for
the beach that will bo highly appreciated
by the ladles and children. He has engaged
at a high salary a lady expert swimmer ,

will bo In attendance at the beach from 2
o'clock In the afternoon until 9 o'clock In the
evening and teach all ladles and children

Property
Mr. Chnrlcs D. Thompson , residing at
2112 Douglas street , reported a very strange
story to the police a few days ago.
Mr. Thompson said that about ten days ngo
ho heard footsteps on his rear porch. This
was about 2:30 o'clock In the morning. Ho
got up , but could discover no trace of any
one. None of the windows or doors had Iti
any way been tampered with. He returned
to bed and thought no more about It the re
mainder of the night. The next night and
every night since then ghoulish sounds have
been heard and strange tappings on the
side of the house nnd on the window panes.
Mr. nnd Mrs. Thompson nro In no wise
superstitious and rather than think there
was anything supernatural In these things
they would explain It by saying they thought
It was some ono endeavoring to get In the
house for the purpose of robbery. With
the police this has little weight , ns the
sounds and knocks began at precisely the
same hour and continued for the same length
of time.
Miss Jennie Schwenck , who makes her
home with Mr. and Mrs. Thompson , related
a very strange account of the occurrences
that excited Mr. and Mrs. Thonlpson. She
said she had been living there for about two
weeks. "The third night after my arrival , "
she said , "I was on my way to my room ,
which Is up stairs. It was then about 10
o'clock , and I had a book which I thought ot
finishing before going to sleep. The stair
way leading to my room Is so arranged that
a lamp In the kitchen would throw shadow
on one ldo of the wall. This fchad seen on
several occasions , but after going to my room
I concluded to go to the kitchen and turn
out the light. On my way up I saw the
same shadow en the stairway wall. It
danced from one side to the other and would
fall on the steps. I thought It might have
been from the lamp In my room , so I went
In and turned It out. Returning , the shadow
was still there. Now , I am not a coward ;
neither am I superstitious , but this thor
oughly frightened me. I thought it very
strange , but went to bed. It was then about
11 , and the shadow remained on the stair
way wall. After sleeping , I thought three or
four hours , I was awakened by the sound of
what seemed fcotsteps In the attic overhead.
These were heard by Mr. Thompson also.
I got a lamp , peered Into the attic , but could
see nothing , nnd returned to bed. I was not
disturbed further that night , but wo made an
examination of the premises. Every door
was Intact , also the windows , but on again ex
amining the attic I found that a little
stained-glass window had been neatly taken
out and set on the floor within. There was
nothing broken , and how the window was
taken out Is mysterious. It Is directly under
the roof and could not be reached from th.e
ground without means of a ladder. I was
now thoroughly convinced something un
canny was haunting the place.
"Tho next evening I was sitting at a
window when I noticed a hand appear on
the sill. I looked out at once , but there
was not a soul In sight , yet there were
finger marks on the sill. This alarmed me
further. I was alone at the time. About
2:30 : the following morning I was awakened
by what I thought footsteps ascending the
stairs leading to my room. Mr. Thompson
also heard them , butithlnklng It was myself
moving about made n'd investigation ; I didn't
dare to. After the sound of the footsteps
dled , away I hejjrd a rapping on the side of
the house. This kept up a few moments
and then the ghost or whatever It was we
heard no more that night.
"The night following' It came again. This
tlmo the knob on the kitchen door was
shaken violently and then a thump , as of
some one throwing- his bo'dy against the
door , was heard. Mr. Thompson got cp , but
nothing could be seen. The door was unin
jured. The next night Mr. and Mrs. Thomp
son concluded to sit 'up and wait for his
ghostshlp. Sure enough about 2:30 : In the
morning the sound of some one endeavoring
to open the shutters of the rear window was
heard. Then a couple of heavy thuds on the
rear porch , then a sound ns of one trying to
break in the kitchen door. Examination
failed to show thnt anybodv had been there.
Nothing has ever been missed from the
house and these occurrences have caused Mr.
and Mrs. Thompson great uneasiness. "
The statement they give to the police as
possibly a cause of these happenings , Is In n
measure connected with the recent death
of Rev. P. Ryan. This property was owned
by him and Is very valuable. When he died
he bequeathed It to a sister , Mrs. Lamb.
There has been some difficulty as to the dls-
plsltlon of the property. Dishop Scannell ,
it Is said , got hold of the property to the
exclusion of Mrs. Lamb. The bishop rented
the house as soon as he could , but In the
meantime Mrs. Lamb employed counsel nnd
was told by her attorney to move Into the
house as soon as she could. When she was
ready to move her belongings there she
discovered the bishop had rented It to some
one else. She did not like this and has since
then , it Is said , endeavored to get posses
sion. In this she has so far failed. Mr.
Thompson stated to the police that Mrs. ,
Lamb might be able to account for the
recelit strange occurrence , but the police ,
doubt It.
Miss Scliwenfik said slio had read of ghosts ,
and really did not believe In them , but her
recent experiences have caused her to think
a trine.
CRANE TAKES HIS TURN.
Unworthy Renion * Asulcned for HIM Coin-j
plnlnt Against Mm. llovoo.
Saturday n warrant' was sworn out by.John
L. Crane , 1472 South Sixteenth street , for the
arrest of Mrs. Dovee for adultery. In the In
formation filed by Mr. Crane he alleges
that Mrs. Doveo Is now living Inopen'
adultery with ono John Rlbes. This state
of affairs has , according to.Mr. Crane , been
existing for some time , In fact slnco Mr ,
Doveo left the city. It Is also stated that
Mr. Dovee Is alive nnd well and residing In
a town In the western part of the state.
An officer yesterday went to the residence
of Mrs. Dovee , 1311 South Seventeenth street ,
but did not find her there. Instead he found
Rlbes , but the latter would give no Informa
tion regarding Mrs. Dovee , except that she
had left some days before. He said they
lived in the same house , notwithstanding
It had but two rooms , ono of which was
used as a dining room , but ho dented that
their relations wcro Improper ,
It will be remembered that Crane Is the
old man who was- arrested some
weeks ago charged with criminally
assaulting Pearl Dovee , the daughter
of Mrs. Dovee. The mother used
her endeavors to prosecute htm and now
It Is said by the police that Crane has taken
this step simply on account of the prosecu
tion by Mrs. Dovee. Crane and Mrs. Doveo
wore at ono time very good frlpnds , the
latter taking him food and other necessaries
he might be In need ot. Crane Is about C5
years of age.

MYSTiltt 7)F THE GTJM.
Wlmt the TtifU.y8t\cti \ Contnln No Mnltcr IH
AVllDng to Tell ,
Do you chcwfgutn ?
In more technical terms , do you Indulge In
that continuous - vertical , masticatory move
ment which Is xso perfectly disgusting In the
street car , but pardonably popular In the
privacy ot home ?
Nowadays everything Is distinctly fin do
slccle or tries tto be , ays the Chicago Trib
une. And to bo strictly fin do slccle means
to have "a purpose. " All the new nnd pop
ular books , for Instance , are "purpose"
pieces of fiction. And so the persistent gum
chewer , much ns he dislikes to see others
complacently smack their lips over a bit of
gum and sugar , hides behind the laudable
purpose , so-called a subterfuge , In other
words of Improving an Imperfect digestive
apparatus , of whitening the teeth , or of
sweetening .lie breath.
Said Pope : "Old politicians chow on wis
dom past. " This truism Is suggestive. Dut
the modern chewer , whatever may bo his
excuse for the Indulgence , Is addicted to
something moro tangible nnd that some
thing Is a peculiar conglomeration of stuffs.
If your favorite brand IE v.-itte ! gum your
solace Is In chewing paranihc which Is a
mixture ot various carbo hydrides that has
been dissolved at a gentle heat In olive oil
and glycerine. It Is stirred on cooling and
afterwards compressed. The glycerine Is
supposed to keep It soft nnd to make It sweet
at the same time.
If tolti occupies first place In your affec
tions you Indulge In a mixture of balsam
of tolu which Is made by dissolving orange
Hhellac and gum benzoin In rectified spirit ,
with the addition of n few drops of the oils
ot cassia and nutmeg dissolved In a little
essence of vanilla oatmeal and sugar.
There Is also spruce gum , made from
exudations of the spruce tree. This gum
from the manufactory of nature Is regarded
as both pure and beneficial.
Whether the chewer of gum gets a liberal
allowance ot the proverbial peck of dirt
which every Individual Is supposed to eat
In his allotted three score and ten In the
sugared , flavored , daintily-wrapped squares
of gum Is a controvertlble theme.
There Is , In fact , such n mysterious air
of secrecy about the manufacture of thcso
Innocent-looking masticatory sticks that the
would-bo visitor , who Is not given entree
Into the sacred precincts for love or money ,
Is quite apt to think maybe "cleanliness Is
next to godliness" Is not the motto of the
chewing gum manufacturer.
At any rate , there are innumerable stories
afloat as to the Ingredients of this decidedly
popular American product.
A chewing gum factory that claims the dis
tinction of being the third largest In the
world may be found within the gates ot Chi
cago. Though one Is not permitted even to
glance Into the great room where the clang
of machinery Indicates the sacred spot , and
though one cannot converse with the liege
lord who , locked In his private office , con
cocts mixtures to tickle the palate ot the pro
fessional gum chewer , there are many Inter
esting things to be heard and many InterestIng -
Ing things to be seen In the packing depart
ment.
Ono .of the managers laughed aloud at the
bare suggestion ot admittance being refused
on the ground ! that the ingredients arc In
jurious.
"Somo people actually think , " he said ,
"that chewing gum Is made from old rubber
boots and refuse imatter. The fact Is that
only pure materials are used , the principal
Ingredient being an exudation from a species
of rubber tree native In Mexico. "
"What is the appearance of this sub
stance ? "
"lUls a thick brown sap of the consistency
and 'color of maple syrup. , Woget It In the
original state , -with particles , of bark and
dirt , This- goes through 'a long process of
cleaning. Then of .course the process of
making Is a profound secret. There is a
man In 'oar employ , ly the way , who for
twenty-one years Jias doni } ' nothing else but
cXpeelment'on , new tbrandaloC < chewing gum.
No , ovenia"m"anagep-could not take his wife
through the factory , so rigid are the rules.
Each employe , knows only his particular part
of the. work , so the secret of making , as a
whole , Is preserved. " o
"Are the materials expensive ? "
"Yes , for the original guni costs $1.10 a
pound In ton lots , and the essential oils used
cost $4 a pint. These are the principal in
gredients. "
"How long a time Is required to convert
one lot of new material Into chewing gum ? "
"Almost a week. "
An Interesting spectacle Is to look In the
packing room. Here great trucks filled
high with strips of chewing gum a yard long
and several Inches wide , all carefully marked
with geometrical precision Into squares , are
rolled In at Intervals from the factory. The
deft fingers of the seventy-flvo wrappers
young girls break these strips Into sec
tions , wrap each In a tissue covering and
then tinfoil and pack them away In paste
board boxes in an almost incredible short
timo. One girl has thus filled 153 boxes In
ono day , there being thirty-six sticks In
each box , or 5,508 sticks all told. This is an
unusual record , however.

Threatened Ills Wife.
William Green , colored , a waiter at the
Paxton hotel , was arrested last night for
threatening to shoot his wife.
Green said ho had worked hard all day
ind upon going homo found his wife had
left. When she returned ho was greatly

so.
so.Hot words followed. Green sprang from
his chair , about to strike his wife , when ho
saw a revolver lying on the dresser. Ho
snatched It up , and with the words "I have
a notion to kill you , " pulled the trigger , but
It was a blank shell , nnd before he could
fire a second time his mother-in-law , Mrs.
Mellnda Black , entered , and calling on offi

A private dl-spatch received in this city
from Cripple Creek states that the Bull
Hill miners are already forming a vigilance'
committee to rid the camp of the men
who are not to their liking. If this thlnn

conflict. The Indignation of the people
here Is also raised over -the fact that sev

made to discover the writers , and should
they bo apprehended they will undoubtedly
be roughly treated.

"Nearly everybody U In great danger Just
nt this time. "
The xpcnkcr was ono of the leading physi
cians In New York.
"With the malaria tn the air nnd the dan
ger In the water , " he continued , "pcoplo
need to excrclxo the greatest caution and
care. The trouble with these things Is that
they come unawares and are often unsus
pected. The germs of malaria are drawn In
by every breath , the seeds of disease are
pproml by each swallow of water. "
The doctor looked thoughtful for a mo
ment , and then continued , "There ! ( but one
way to prevent these danger * and that Is
to be watchful. Instead of drlnklnit Iceil
water nnd other things all the while , nnd
In place of permitting hot nnd foul air to
spread malaria In the system , people should
be watchful nnd check these things on the
start.
There Is but one way that Hill can be
done and that Is by the nxe of some pure
stimulant constantly or when the slightest
feeling of sickness appears. The only prep
aration which has ever been known to cer
tainly counteract thcso troubles In time. Is
that prcnt , that popular whiskey , Duffy's
Pure Malt It hns been used by the public
of America for over twenty years , ami hns
proven Its Mirpiipslng merits only by what
It hns accomplished ,
If men and women would counlcract the
deadly germs In the water at this season of
the year by mixing Duffy's Pure Malt with
It , they need have little fear of low fevers
or malaria. It should be borne In mind ,
however , that It Is only Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey that will accomplish this , and that
however much druggists or grocers may say
to the contrary , It alone can be depended
upon.
