The storm yesterday Interfered grc
with the attendance at the city churches ,
the result was that the pastors prcachei
nmallor congregations than usual. T :
was a fair attendance , however , at the
end Presbyterian Church , where thepai
1lov. Alexander LltherUnd , preached
Peter's declaration , "Thou art the Christ ,
< 3on of the living GoJ. " By way of Intro
tlon the preacher called attention to the
ference between confessions and prcfcssl
saying that with the early church
lormer was emphasized , .while now too n
attention Is directed to the profession ot
individual.
Confrsslon tends rte humility' , profes
way lead to egotism. Profession calls
ten tlon to one's self , but confession calls
ten tlon to a superior person or to a supt
law. John the Baptist had no time for
thing but to confess the Lamb ot Qod. T
'Christians ' are worthy to stand the cri
ccrutlny of an exacting age let them sta
the bckground and by a full confeeslo
the Christ present ono with whom no i
can be found.
i la these words of Peter wo have both
human hope and the divinepromise. . T
Is a remarkable correspondence between
want of man and the supply ot God. A
with human need there grows an expect :
of relief , and human need Is Itself a s
prayer for divine relief. So the cry for
has ever been answered with the as.iur
of relief. During the ages preceding

man'fl corsclouo need of a deliverer anil

As the silent bat ever-growing syrap

The outlook for the battle today Is vei
bright for the entire republican ticket ,
has been a campaign of education , pure a :
simple. The dally publication ot facts ar
figures taken from the auditor's books fi
the last ten years has educated the peep
of the city to the point of convincing the
that It will not bp wise to abandon the sa
and progressive course that has been pu
sued la the financial management of the cl
for the last six jears , and permit the sail
men to Inaugurate again the same dangero1
policy , or lack ot policy , that piled up a cl
debt of nearly $1,000,000. Personalities ha
entered Into the campaign to 'but ' very lilt
extent. It has been a discussion ot reror
and responsibility for past mistakes. The
Is a possibility that some democrats will
elected. In the First ward Alderman Casp
and his friends have become so certain of r.
re-election that they have ceased to ma
any especial fight. The democrats ha
made an especially hard fight also upon t
republican candidate for city solicitor ai
announce with equal confidence that th
will today elect their candidate , S. B. Wad
v.orth. Mr. Wadsworth has made a dlgnlfl
campaign ard has earned the respect
friends and enemies. He will poll a stro
vote , whether he Is elected or not. There
scarcely any question concerning any of tether

handsome majorities.

.HAVA'NA . , March 27. ( New York World
ablegram Spcclail Telegram. ) If the story
t Cuba as told In detail by American consuls
icro ever reaches In full "the plain people"
f Abraham Llocoln and of the United
Slates Spain's dominion In America will be
indent history In four weeks. Our consuls
n Cuba are better representatives than I
ia\o seen In the other nations. They are
ntelllgcnt men , they are Americans aad they
lave told the noncombatant horrors of the
Cuban 'war H a graphic way. They ha\e
Iso learned It so truly 'that ' Spain's present
nlnlstcr of colonies , and Eagasta's real
irulns , has said In open Cortes :
"Tho reports of these gentlcmw ( American
onsuls In Cuba ) are the utterances In cold
ilood of coruenatlvo men used to tell the
ruth to their government. "
If President McKlnlcy submits their unexpurgated -
purgated letters of misnamed war in Cuba to
'the plam people" of the United States they
wtll rise In their might and say : "Let there
icno inoro of HI"
For months and months these men have
lived In chambers of horror. Consul McGarr
of Clcnfuegce admits that there uro 25,000
starving , helplccs , hopeless , Innocent , un
armed men , women and children In his com
paratively rich Jurisdiction. A month ago he
said there was no trouble then ; that the only
onto who died did so from surfeit upon the
luxuriant , plentiful provision generously
given them by the truly paternal Spanish
government and too much sugar cane. Complete -
pleto and muttered , the consular rcporta
from Cub > are awful , almost unbelievable ,
tales of horror. They make the acts of alleged
sensational corresponding turn sickly pale
In comparison ; that Is , they do If printed In
full and without "stars. "
At the consulate at Eagua bravo Walter
Barker resigned ; Cio could not countenance
the annihilation of a race by hunger , per
mitted by his government and by his people ,
and bo a man. Ho saw the worst In a email ,
Intensely Spanish town , where Spaniards of
wealth brought them by Cuban wives would
only grudgingly give $1.26 to help E-IVG from
death 4,000 people. Yesterday I received a
letter from Consul Brlco at Matanzas , the
same man who said : "I am a blue-stocking
IVeabytcrlan , but the scenes I am dally
forced to witness mivke me nwcar at times. "
Ho a > s , after stating the obstacles placed In
his way by even the liberal Spanish gov
ernor : "I would rattier face the enemy en
the Lattleilold than fice the starving
wretches here of the last three day ? . "
Brlcc attempted to Introduce American ro
le f , but the Spanish government would not
illon * prompt distribution. Ho ntao F O * .
iftcr describing how thp dying Cuban
vretchrs clamor > for food end life : "I hope
lever to vvltiuva such a sight again. I m
ifrald t rhall be haunted the balance ot my
Ifo by tir o scene * . " And this intti Is an
ild pnldlcr , brave , calm and religious ,
I have pointed out that even a Spanish
influenced consul admits the awful state ot
iffalts. Xmv that American corn , meat ,
lacon and milk are feeding the pitiful rem-
innt of survivors , the liberal reformed gov *
: rnmcnt of Cuba puts Its every obstacle In
the way of saving these Cuban subjects ,
while at the same tlmo It refuses to permit
the hungry to till the soil and feed them
selves. First MUs Hnrton and then Mr.
Klopsch , both authorized from Washington ,
liavo asked the small rUht to put seeds ami
tooi ! Into the rccancentrados' hands and
let Cilia's rich soil feed Cuba's per
nrctclu-a. Blanco rcfusos this Imperative ,
humane request and necessity puts him even
below We > lcr , for Wcyler at least laid out
fcrttlo lands for rcconccntrados' food , which
Blanco refused to allow them to use.

United States will Induce the Cubans to Je-

WASHINGTON , March 27. Mrs. McKlnlcy
will entertain the alumni of Brookhall semi
nary , of which eho Is a graduate , at luncheon
di April 1C. A special train of two cars has
been arranged for by way of the Ililtlmoro
& Ohio , and It Is expected the party will
number 100.
Give her time ,
and almost every soap-using woman will come
around to the use of Pearline. The soap-
using habit is strong , to be sure. After
'
all these years some women can't put
it aside without doubting and trembling.
But when a woman once wakes up
to the fact that she needs and de
serves the very best household
help , then the arguments in favor
of Pearline prove stronger than any
soap habit. 3
There's ease , economy , quickness , healtl '
and safety in Pearline washing and cleaning.
