"V expected some one here from the building department, but no one eame," said Charles E. Shearman, an usher. 1 Mr. Smith in bis sermon declared he wa heart and soul with Dr. Hopkins and told of a little round he made In ' 'fashionable downtown restaurant hut wiMik", file Raid th c.dierlcnie elu'- r vlncfd him Dr. Hopkins was right. "I did not drop In at Vogelsang's, the other places at -which Dr. Hopkln b-arned his mot startling facts," said the minister, "but at oil the restaurant I vUlted I saw women drinking beer, lilghlmlls and cocktail all around m. "I noticed that apparently three eln-ues of women drank those who drank with their husband, thoe who drunk for the effect of the liquor and girls who drank evidently because they thought drinking the flm step in high life. "The Influence of public drinking by women Is all bad, defiling and degrad- in the crowd. "Following a dinner Sance a few year given by) a woman -wboso nfim in frequently mentioned as tin- future lender of society, the Florodora sextet was engaged to ing and dance. After wards one of the show girl said to met nls! That affair w the fiercest any of us had ever seen Most of tho women were all in by the time we arrived. They -were lolling around on the couche and chair with their clothes more off than on all the time shrieking at the top of their voice or talking in hoarse, thick whiKrs, Once in a while tljpy would rouse up to tell a shady story, throw something at each other, or play some fool gome, although bo one there could stand on her feet. "Last fall at an exclusive musical a woman of national social reputation who wan in the receiving line was so badly intoxicated and made such maudlin re marks that h had to be quietly led awny upstairs. "Dr. Hopkins speak of a club wom an -who wanted to pay her dues three times at t he mime meeting I was pre sent on this oicin and will add that this woman has almost national fame, movement of the day, and I have more than once- seen her in a bad form as any old whisk oak." Mudh of Dr. Hopkins talk was in th nature of a defense against his critics, He also retold the story of hi ex pcditlon through the downtown saloons "The discussion on women drinking,' he said, "ha gone so far that every one can see the dang. It baa become the question of the hour and the auc cess I have mad Is due to the kind I owe no thank at all, except in a few the discussion from ocean to ocean but treatment of the press, which ha spread instances, to the Christian churches and temperance societies. "I am Just a well born, bred, and welt eil iica ted a any of my critic have been in the ministry for thirty year -never did anything else am per haps older than any of my critic, just a cultured, spiritually minded and a devoted to my congregation as they are to their." Dr. Hopkins will continue his cru sude. He announced that for next Sun day evening he had selected the topic: "The. Habit of Women Drinking with fen, and What Ought to He Done with a Man Who Invite a Woman to Drink." Meanwhile, it i asserted the remnant of a $2500 debt incurred two year ago through making repairs to the church is Irfilng cleared away rapidly. Dr. fieorge F. Hall, preaching in Bush temple in the morning, indorsed Dr. Hop kins' crusade and attacked hi critics, saying: "I wish to refer particularly to the Hev, J. St Stone and the Rev. Johnston Myers. If 'what they are alleged to have said is correctly reported they t-hould he heartily ashamed of themselves. "I want no woman in my congrega tion -who degrades her womanhood, soils her purity, and by her exemple becomes a stumbling block by drinking beer, champagne, cocktail, or whisky straight." The Rev. W. A. Iiartlett, pastor of the First Congregational church, also sharply criticized the Rev. Johnston Myers for his objection to Hopkins' tactic. ; The Rev. Melbourne P. Boynton, pas- .

Y., who has been presiding at the Free Methodist conference for nothern Indiana, which closed with religious service today, greatly excited the member of the local Free Methodist Church here by a ser mon predicting the end o' the world within a few months. He did not mean, he said, that the planet was to be de stroyed, but that all the work of man were to be swept away and Christ wa to come a second time to rebuild it and make it a fit place for the dwelling of th Holy Spirit. The bishop minced no words in de scribing the certainty of destruction by If flames to those who do not repent. He I X gave four reasons for hi belief that th end of the world Is near. First The conditions are now similar to those that prevailed when Christ was bora men have set up false gods Second The strain upon matter has reached the breaking point. Third The savant of the world who study the Bible have gained an Insight into the future, and, while they may not publicly acknowledge that the end Sa near, they are themselves making ready for it. y Fourth The time is at hand when the word of Cod will soon have pene trated to the remotest race and the prophecy fulfilled that the gospel will be preached to every human sould on IX earth.

TITLED SOCIALIST TO RECANT. LOXDOX. Oct. 8. It is said here on apparently good authority that the countess of Tarwick, who reached New York yeterday on the Caronia as "Mrs, Creville," has gone to America solely for the purpose of discussing with a promi nent solialist and a man much interested in the municipal ownership question, at present in Baltimore, a phase of the so cialist doctrine which has for some time been worrying Lady Warwick greatly, The question at issue is not known, but it is said that on the result of the eon fcrence will hinge the future of Lady Warwick from a socialistic point of view, as she has arrived at a point in her study of socialism which has almost come to a parting of the ways with her. The conference, it is understood, has been fixed foi Tuesday next. TO ANSWER FOR GIRL'S DEATH. Representative Ward of Michigan to Face TriaL DtTROIT, Oct. 8. Representative Charles E.
