DKAOWOOD , S. D. , July 9. ( Special. )
F. M. Brown of this city has returned from
Plankinton , where he attended the meet
ing of the Board ot Charities and Correction
and witnessed the change of management
which placed W. H. Thompklns ot Rapid
City In charge as superintendent.
Mr. Brown told graphically of the mutiny
of the Inmates of the reform school which
occurred on Saturday when the now super
intendent took charge of the Institution.
The boys of the Institution wore out pi'ay-
Ing ball and when they were ordered to
form In line to march Into the building
they started to run from the guards.
Superintendent Thompklns called all the
guards together and the employes ot the
Hchool and sent word to the sheriff ot the
county and a general run was made after the
escaping boys. About twenty-seven made
their escape. They were overtaken In little
groups and all brought back excepting two ,
a large Norwegian and an Indian , who wcro
still at large when Mr. Brown started for
home.
The leader of the mutiny was a young
man named John WiUlams , 21 years old , who
fltated that he and some of the other boys
had been planning to break out for some
time and had decided to make It at the tlmo
the new management took charge.
Mr. Brown states that while some of the
boys were returning to the school they
shouted all manner ot slurring words against
the "pops , " saying many times that the
"pops" can't keep us.
Another thing that made It hard for the
new superintendent to get the school started
was the going out of nearly all of the
teachers In the institution. He had to put
In new Instructors and It was feared It
would be a dinVcult thing to get the school
at work again. A reception was given the
new superintendent and the new teachers
on Friday evening.

In Convention nt ficxlnftton
.VeitVeiliie < Iny.
LEXINGTON. Ky. , July 9 , The republi
can state convention which meets here next
Wednesday may bo recorded a record
breaker for quick work. The democratic
state convention at Louisville two weeks
ago broke the record otherwise , being In
session an entire week. Three candidates
for the democratic nomination for governor
Goebel , Stone and Hardln went Into the
convention , each having about one-third the
delegates.
There are also three candidates for the
republican nomination for governor Taylor ,
Stone nnd Pratt. Attorney General Taylor
claims that about two-thirds are Instructed
for him. Ills friends claim that the dele
gates for Colonel Stone and Judge Pratt
cannot affect the vote for Taylor by any
combination between themselves or even
candidates for minor places , Judge Sione
and Pratt are expected here tomorrow axd
their friends promise some surprises , but
tbo present Indications are that the Taylor
men will organize the convention and be
able to carry through what Is known as
"the Taylor elate. " Taylor Is called the
national administration man , wbl'e Governor
Bradley and other state administration men
are considered as favoring some other man.
If the results of the county conventions
are ratified the convention here next week
will be as brief as the democratic conven
tion at Louisville was protracted. Since
both Pratt and Stone were distanced In the
race before the county convention , there has
been an effort on foot to concentrate on
Hon. John W , Yerkes , or some other dark
horse , but so far these movements have col
lapsed ,
Kentucky Democrat * May Split.
BOWLING GREEN , Ky. , July . Ever
since the democratic convention at Louli-
vllle two weeks ago there has been talk of
another democratic elate ticket. The antl-
Goebel democrats of Warren county have
called a meeting here for tomorrow. In
the event of the initial event here being
taken up In other parts of the state , Hon.
John D. Carroll , Colonel W , O. Breckln-
rldge and ex-Governor J. Proctor Knott are
spoken of for the nomination for governor ,
So far , however , this movement Ii limited
to certain localities.

DETROIT , July 9. Although a large ma
jority of the army of Christian Endeavorcrs
In Detroit utilized the street cars today a
considerable portion refrained from reading
the Sunday newspapers. Few , of the pas
tors who occupied the various Protestant
pulpits went to the extreme ot Inconveni
encing themselves by walking long dis
tances , as did Hcv. Charles M. Sheldon ,
author of "In His Stops. " who walked more
than three miles to preach from the text ,
"One Is Our Master ; All We Are Brethren , "
to a congregation which entirely exceeded
the capacity of Bethany Presbyterian
church , Mr. Sheldon spoke enthusiastically
of the signs ot the times , especially the
awakening of the social conscience , better
relationship ibetwcen employers and em
ployed , federation of the church , movement
toward civic righteousness and an awaken
ing to the stewardship feature of the Chris
tian's life , as to his money , time and tal
ents.
Snhbnth Ounervnnre Hnlly.
The features of the afternoon were
crowded meetings for men and for women
exclusively , and a Sabbath observance rally.
Three thousand five hundred men filled the
floor and galleries of Light Guard armory
at the men's meeting. The men sang with
fine enthusiasm and a very largo portion of
them pledged that the occasion would be
to them a landmark from whloh would date
a better life. Secretary Baer conducted the
meeting and Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman
of New York preached from Job xvlll , , 18 :
"Ye shall be driven from light Into dark
ness and be chased out of the world , " the
theme brought out being the fate ot the
persistent sinner as compared to ( hat of the
godly.
Mrs. F. B. Olark , wife of President Clark ,
presided over the .women's meeting , which
filled the Woodward Avenue Baptist church.
Mrs. Joseph Walker of Queensland , Aus
tralia , led the devotions. The program of
addresses was as follows :
"The Women of Mexico , " Mrs. S. C. Scott
Williams , St. Luis Potosl , Mex. ; "The
Women of China , " Miss Caroline E. Chlt-
tenden , Fee Chow , China ; "The Women of
Asia , " Miss Jessie Ackerman , Chicago ;
"Woman's Work for Her Country , " Mrs.
Howard M. Ingham , Jefferson , O.
Westminster Presbyterian church could
not accommodate the audience which at
tended the Sabbath observance gathering.
An address upon "Sabbath In the Home" was
delivered by Dr. David McAllister of Alle
gheny , Pa. He held the religious develop
ment of the family to beyof ( be utmost Im
portance , the family being the foundation
ot the civil structure and the cornerstone
ot the temple of worship. Said he : "We
cannot carry on our civilization nor keep
our young people to the front unless they
ure trained in Sabbath keeping homes. "
Tlev. C. N. Howard of Rochester , N. Y. ,
related at length the story of some alleged
tutllo attempts made In that city toward
closing "the side door" on Sundays. Ho
argued Insistently that prohibition Is the
only true solution of the saloon question.
The closing speech was by Hon. John Charl-
ton , M. P. . of Lynedoch , Ont. , on "What
the Sabbath May Do for Us. " The speak
er's idea ivas that Sabbath observance had
a far more potent Influence In character
building and world development than had
commonly been conceded In later years.
Connoernflon Sorrier * in flic Hvi-iilnK.
Tonight an additional touch of solemnity
was. Imparted to the meetings of the Chris
tian EndeavoreTs. The generalities of re-
licion were In some measure neglected and
the evening worship In thirty-one Protes-
tnnt churches of Detroit and Windsor took
the form of "consecration services. "
The participant In these unostentatious
but Impressive services seemed to be striv
ing to make a direct personal application
of the tenets of their faith , and many were
the pledges of more exalted effort for the
oomlng year and more earnest Christian
service. The capacity of the churches wan
taxed and the rapt attention of the crowds
to the one subject of consecration was Im
pressive In the greatest degree.
President Francis E. Clarke conducted the
Avenue Baptist church. Among the clergy
men who directed the services or made con
secration addresses In the other churches
were Rev. Dr. Charles E. Jefferson of New
York , Rev. William Patterson of Toronto ,
Rev. James L. Hill of Salem , Masa. , Rev.
James Murrell of London , England , Rev.
Robert E. Speer of New York , Bishop B. W.
Arnott of Wllberforce , O. , Rliv. John Pol
lock of Glasgow , Scotland , Rev. Dr. John
Henry Barrows of Oberlln , Rev. John E.
Pounds of Indianapolis , Bishop Samuel Fal
lows of Chicago and Rev. Dr. Floyd W.
Tomklns of Philadelphia.
The big convention will end tomorrow
night. There will bo Junior Endeavor and
missionary rallied In each of the big tents ,
a prison work conference and great fare
well gatherings In conclusion.

DETROIT , July 9 , A Tribune special
from London , Ont. , says : The city has been
placed under martial law and additional
militiamen ordered In from the adjacent

ZOLA AND THE DREYFUS CASE
Imminent Author tft ( Slml lie Took Up

PARIS , July 0. ( Now York World Cable
gram Special Telegram. ) To the Editor ot
the World : I must decline your generous
offer. Positively I will not write of the
Dreyfus case for nny newspaper whatso
ever at least not until-the coming trial Is
over. What I had to Bay I have said. 1
consider that I am noi longer needed. 1
withdraw. 4
In tbU connection I should bo obliged It
you would deny rumoro that are In con
tradiction of whnt I have just said and
that are disagreeable to me. I learn thnt
a man In New York boasts that ho has a
contract with me to write a play about
Dreyfus. Another man iatks of me making
a lecture tour through the United States.
I learn , too , that certain newspapers re
cently have published articles signed with
ray name and arc announcing that they
will publish other articles by me. AH such
statements are absolute Impositions. I have
never authorized these statements or the
publication of these articles.
When I raised my voice for Dreyfus I
merely ilcatred to rally the defenders of
justice , then busy elsewhere ; to draw at
tention to a crime , the accomplishment ot
which was not to bo-tolerated. I am Bind
I did It , because the agitation probably
saved an Innocent man'because ; It proved
Invaluable In educating/the masses ; be
cause this revision marks the entrance ot
moral Ideas Into politico'where principle Is
too constantly sacrificed to Immediate ex
pediency and mutual toleration. Such a
sacrifice , In the long run Is ruinous to any
nation. I am glad I did , It. Should occa
sion arise 1 should enter politics again.
Now , however , my Ideas on these subjects
are in the hands'of bettor leaders of men
than I am. These loaders nre amply able
' to make the Ideas to fructify In this beloved
1 generous Franco. Having no doubt these
' < Ideas will bear fruit In America , too , I
j cannot see how any articles , lectures , espe
cially how any melodramas I could conj -
j tribute to the discussion would help the
good work. Therefore , ns despite what has
, been said , I have none but a literary ambi
tion , I now return to purely literary labor.

HIS LIFE AN INSPIRATION
Omaha Methodists Honor the Memory of
John Phillip Newman.
EULOGIZE HIM AS BISHOP AND AS A MAN
Memorial rrvlcrn Ilclil nt ( lie 11 r t
Methndlitt Church Sunday MuM
An Iniiirmilv * Tribute to
Illn Mniilr < lnnlltle .
Under the rafters ot the church that ho
helped to build , In the great auditorium
that has so often echoed his eonoro'us and
majestic eloquence , the Methodists of
Omaha met Sunday night to honor the mem
ory ot John Philip Newman and to mingle
their earnest tributes to his worth as
bishop , patriot and friend. Seldom has
the First church held a larger audience or
been the theater of ft more Impressive
scene. Every scat In the building was oc
cupied and there were few In that vnst
congregation who had. not kncwn the
bishop and felt the powerful magnetism ot
his presence. There was nothing In the
service that was perfunctory or common
place. Speakers -were thrilled to eloquence
'by ' the depth ot a sentiment that "was rooted
In their hearts , the music that swelled
from organ and choir loft throbbed with
the Inspiration of an intcnso sincerity and
the great audience was hushed In the sol
emnity of a personal bereavement. The
tributes that were uttered by voices that
were tremulous with feeling wore reflected
by the silent tears , of those who listened.
The deep feeling that pervaded the au
dience was apparent In the eloquent silence
that existed even while It won being seated.
When the Invisible choir In the belfry
burst Into the opening notes of the late
bishop's favorite hymn , "In the Cross of
Christ I Glory , " the effect was wonderfully
Impressive. Heartbeats were almost audi
ble and oven the rustle of fans was stilled
under the impulse of the majestic harmony.
As the last note expired iMr. Kelly touched
the organ keys and the solemn strains of
Chopin's funeral march crept Into the
semes of the listeners like a melody
breathed from the portals of another world.
Trllmtc from the Clttirclim.
The service began with the chant , "Refuge
in God , " by the pastor and choir , and this
was followed by an earnest prayer by Rev.
A. C. Welch of the Scward Street church.
The congregation joined In the hymn that
followed and then Rev. J. W. Jennings of
Trinity church read the following resolu
tions , which wcro prepared by a committee
that represented all the 'Mcthodlet churches
In the city :
Resolved , The Head of the church uni
versal has called from labor to rest the Rev
Bishop John Phillip Newman , D. D. , L.L. D.
therefore
Resolved , That the church universal Is
bereft of one of Its ablest leaders , wisest
counselors nnd chief exponents.
Resolved , That the Methodist Episcopal
church loses one of Its most cosmopolitan
general superintendents and keenly feels the
loss of one of Its universally revered chief
pastors nnd that the church militant sus
tains an Incalculable less In this transference
of so abFe a defender of the faith from the
forefront of the battle to ( he glories of the
church , triumphant.-
Resolved. That not only Ibe citizens of
the United States of America , but also the
citizenship of the world. Is bereft of one of
Its most far-seeing , cosmopolitan statesmen
and leaders of public thought , for there Is
no great nation or country but has felt
the thrlir of his personal presence or up
lifting power of his Influence , and the whole
civilized world recognizes him as a bright
star In that great American constellation in
the center of which shines the Immortal
General U. S. Grant.
Resolved , That the citizens of Omaha , Ir

Mendelsbohn's exquisite solo "Oh , Rest In
the Lord" was effectively sung by Miss
Frances Roedcr and this was followed by a
series of four short addresses In which were
considered the character of Bishop Newman
as "Man , " "Orator , " "Bishop" and "Pa
triot. "

From the standpoint of one who had
known him intimately for many years , Rev.
J. W. Shank spoke of the characteristics ot
the bishop as a man. He said that wo
know little of Bishop Ne'i-man's ancestry ,
but we know that ho must have come of
royal stock. Ho Inherited an Imperial1 man
hood and It characterized both his person
ality and his work. All great men have
filth In themselves nnd he was one of them.
He realized , however , that to be truly great
he must ally himself with the greatest power
In the Universe. He related the history of
his conversion and followed this with several
Incidents of his early pastorates to Illustrate
his lofty purpose , his unfailing courage and
his fast friendship.
"Bishop Newman , the Orator" waa con
sidered by Rev , M. W. Chase of the First
church In the following eloquent eulogy :
Orators are born and not made. John P.
Newman was a great orator. Nature richly
endowed him with all that goes to make ora.
torlcal power. Like Webster ho was of Im
mense stature , with head and brain of un-
unuul size , but with fine classic features
and large , lustrous eyes. Added to this he
bad the self-possession and poise of an or
ator. There was power In hla magnificent
presence. His voice was In perfect harmony
with his splendid physique. It sounded the
gamut. Always smooth und resonant , often
as gentle as that of a child , It rose to mighty
volume on occasion and with excitement be
came vehement and full of passion.
All of this was enhanced by a broad nnd
thorough culture , wide travel and remark
ably keen powers ot observation. He pos-
besEcd the Instincts of the orator. The commonplace
mon-place filtering through Ma brain be
came the extraordinary. In style he was a
marvel of versatility. Ho possessed the for
ensic power of a Demosthenes coupled with
the rhetorical finish of a Cicero. He com
bined the erudition of a Gladstone nnd the
taste and grace of a Chesterfield , He was
as argumentative and logical as was Web
ster , yet as flowery as Ingersoll , Hovau
probably the best representative of the old
English school of oratory among our bl hops -
ops from the beginning and second to none
In the nation since the Immortal Webster.
His public utterances were embellished
with the wit and brliriancy which gave the
unique charm to his manner In private con
versation , Bishop Newman possessed the
soul of an orator. Without tula all the reel
of bis endowment would have made him
capable of the highest exercise of bis other
powers.
The soul of oratory Is feeling and the
sentiment und passion which flow therefrom.
Strong as may be Its matter and beautiful
as may.be 1U form oratory Is nevertheless
a dead and uselecs thing until It Is animated
by HB living Eoul. Therefore , when John P ,
Newman responded to the call ot the Chris
tian ministry he entered the richest field
of opportunity for the employment of his ex
traordinary natural gifts. Instructive and
masterful upon the rostrum , the pufplt waa ,
after all , the throne of bin power.
Great as a lecturer , he waa greater as a
preacher. As yonder chandelier Is bright and
beautiful by day when It IB not connected
with the dynamo , but gloriously refulgent
