aa J Interesting T;;k to Lutherans
SPEAKS AT CHURCH DEDICATION
W RvOevelt Declares That the Luth
eran Church in the United State
s Already of Great Power and it
Centmed to be One of the Two or
Three Greatest National Churches.
Washington, Special. President
Km,, ..-volt delivered an address Sun-
-.y ;;t tho re dedication of ths Luther
!: Memorial church, which was ec-lio-isly
damaged by fire Just one year
... Sunday night while a sociable
in honor of the 78th birthday
; iiiv i-ary of the pastor, the Rev.
J' J C. Butler, was In progress. The
c ;,;: ? h has leon entirely restored, and
, occupied for the first time since
!.' fire Sunday. The President spoke
i.-i t.ait r.s follows:
' lYoin the standpoint from which I
ohliged so continually to look "at
;i. '. .s, there, is a peculiar function
f. t.lard by the groat Lutheran
ii'in l. :n Hie United Stales of Araer--"
his i a Church which had its
n ; t;, power in. and until It eml
jV.'Uh t-, this Kjde of the water, had
r.J.vav.s had its fullest development in,
! (to great races in northern and
i:.,i-f.fni middle Europe the German
:r. ! Scandinavian. The prime duty
( .: the- already in the land Is to see
tfcaJ their own progress and develop
nt are shared by newcomers from
r. n ss the sea. It is a Serious and
.iaii;: . ri'iis thing for any man to tear
'".. from the soil, in which ho and
f is fcrbcars; have taken root and to be
?r:uirdau,i info new land. He should
rxiiv.; all possible aid in that new
land; and the aid can be tendered
hi ru mo.st effectively by those who can
apprTil to him on the ground of spiri
tual Kinship. Therefore the Lutheran
iiercli ea:i do most In helping up
vards and onwards so many cf the
i!'nv;ovners to cur shores; and it seems
Ni me that it should be the duty of this
'"nurJi to : ee that the immigrants, and
-penally the emigrants cf Lutheran
liiKi from the old wcrhl, may be not
;i'.ifcred to drift off with no friendly
nand to him out of the Church com
munion. The Lutheran Church in this
country i.s of very great power now,
numerically and through the intelli
gence and thrift of its members, but it
w... grow steadily to even greater
power. It is destined to be one of two
or three greatest and most Important
Rational Churches in the United
-States; one of tbo two or three church
es most distinctively American, most
listinctively among the forces that
are to tell for making thi3 great
country even greater in the future,
i hcrefpve a peculiar load cf responsi-
-'y rests upon the members of this
''-""'ich.
"It is an important thing for the
P' opje of this nation to remember their
I'isht. but it is an even more import
i!it thing for them to remember their
i;ies. In the last analysis, the ttork
'i statesmen and soldiers, the -work of
the public man shall go for nothing
t" .t is not based upon the spirit of
Christianity working in the millions of
PuiT.es throughout this country, so
that there may be that social, that
spiritual, that moral foundation, with
out which no country can ever rise to
permanent greatness. For material
yell-being, material prosperity, success
m arts, in letters, great industrial tri
"mphs, all of them and all of the
structure raised thereon will be as
evanescent as a dream, if it does not
rf,st on the righteousness that exalteth
a ration.
"Let me congratulate you, and con
gratulate all cf us, that we live in a
land and at .a time when we accept
H as natural that there should be an
inter denominational service of thanks
giving, such a ceremony as is to take
Place this afternoon, in which the
Pastors of other churches join to con
gratulate themselves and you upon thr
re-building of this church. The forces
cf evil are strong and mighty in thii
century and in this country, as they
are in other countries, as they have
leen In all the past centuries; and
the people who sincerely wish to do
tne Lord's work will find ample op
portunity for all their labor In fight
ing the common enemy and in assum
ing toward their fellows of a different
confession an attitude of generous
rivalry in the effort to see how the
most good can be done to our people
s a whole.

n Treasurer Lacy ,li stolen by

-he claim committw, then placed on
-he alendar. Tht-re v. an argument
m the hill regulating finhinz in the
ireat sounds and connecting wafers !
ind it wa- made the special order fr
Thursday. The Senate then tenjk up
:he Kppf ial order, namely, the bill in- j
creasing the salary of Judge.; to $3.
00 and repealing the act allowing Su
perior Court judge-? ?2r() for expenses
for traveling. Mr. Williams asked
what had become r,f tne bill allowing
fl.OOu to the Governor for expenses,
saying If this . were not allowed, he
would oppose the bill. Mr. Scales said
the present bill was a unanimous
compromise. Considerable debate fol
lowed. In the House a petition was filed
from 2,500 members cf the Baptist As
sociation and 5o) voters, that, the
Watts law remain as at present, or if
changed, be made more stringent.
Bills were introduced to allow Spencer
to issue bonds for schools and electric
lights and to establish graded schools;
to amend the lav; regarding deeds of
trust; to incorporate Tuckaseegee
Railway, to amend the law so that the
executor of an estate shall not be ex
ecutor of the fir.:t testator. The House
took up the fp;cial order, namely, the
anti-jug law of 1303, the bill being to
repeal it, except as to Cleveland, Ca
barrus, Gaston and Mitchell. Mr. Mc
Ninch offered amendments incorporat
ing the State anti-jug lav into the
Watts lav,-, section 2. saying he bad
no desire and the friends of temper
ance had no desire to take advantage
cf accidental law. but 'by the passing
of-the bill with his amendment, this
accidental law would, in effect, be re
pealed, and at the same time a straight
anti-jug law be enacted. Mr. David,
of Haywood, chairman cf the commit
teemen of liquor trailie. moved that
the bill be referred to that committee.
A debate followed.
The House took up the special or
der, this being the bill to repeal the
anli-jvig law of 1903. except as to Cleve
land. Cabarrus. Mitchell and Gastcn
counties. McNinch offered an amend
ment incorporating an anti-jug law for
the State into section 2 of the Watts
law, saying he had no desire and the
friends of temperance had none to
take advantage of an accidental law,
but that by passing the bill of his
amendment, this accidental law would
in effect be repealed at the same time,
a State ai.U-jug law would be enacted.
Davis, of Haywcol. chairman of the
committee on liquor traffic,- said that
its the amendment injected entirely new
matter, which was not considered by
the committee when it made its origi
nal report, he moved that the bill be
re-referred. Murphy, of Row.an, object
ed to this re-commitment, saying he
thought members ought to meet the is
sue squarely and be willing to say
whether they desired to take advantage
of an accidental law or not. Wineborne
said he introduced a bill for repeal, ex
cept as to the counties above referred
to. which are named in the acts of
103, and that the bill was so worded
that any county desiring it could be
placed within the anti-jug law territo
ry. He added that it was a well-known
fact that the anti-jug law bill, apply
ing to a whole State was defeated in
li)03, and hence that it was nothing but
proper to repeal any law which had
been enacted by mistake. Graham, cf
Granville, favored re-commitment of
the bill, as did Stewart, of Harnett,
and Alexander, of Mecklepburg. Koonce
of Onslow, opposed postponement, say
ing it was generally understood during
the campaign, and he had so stated to
his constituents, that the law would
be repealed because it was tainted with
error, if not with fraud. He had the
authority of the distinguished chair
man of the Democratic committee for
he assurance that as a matter cf coursa
the law would be repealed. Warren, of
Jones, said the law was not made an
issue in the campaign in his section,
because it was universally considered
that as a matter of course it would be
repealed. This is the only manly course
to pursue, and then, if it is desired,
another bill giving an anti-jug law to
the entire State could be introduced
and stand on its merits. Men high in
authority in North Carolina had led the
people to believe this law will be
promptly repealed so far as it related
to territory not included in the bill. He
cvposed any postponement Murphy, of
Rowan, said he had no objections to an
anti-jug law of those counties whose
members desired it, but was not in fa
vor of postponing action in repealing
the law covering the whole State. The
people expected to see the law re
pealed promptly, and yet here it was
the 20th day of the session, and the
bill to repeal had beenheld back and
now it was proposed to still further
postpone it. Mitchell, of Bertie, favored
the. repeal without any further post
ponement, saying it was well-known
how he stood on the temperance ques
tion snd how the liquor influence tried
to defeat him in the last campaign, but
he could not rest contented a moment
without voting the repeal of the pres
ent lav,r, passed inadvertently. He be
lieved an anti-jug law could be passed
by this Legislature to cover this whole
State, but whether that was so or not,
it would be unpardonable and un
manly to allow the law as at present
construed by tie Supreme Court to re
main en the statutes. Roberson said
he would vota for an anti-jug lavr fcr
tje vhola Staie, but was unalterably
opposed to delay another moment in
voting to repeal the .pxcsent. law. He
felt that the construction placed by the
Supreme Court making the law uni
versal, was good law, yet at tha same
time it amounted to an admission of
want of care on the part of the Legis
lature, and as a former member he
could not make-amends, any too soon.
Biggs followed in the'- sanl'e strain.
Riburn said he .was glad to know all
members acquitted the'author of the lo
cal anti-jug law of any intention to in
clude the State under the pretense of a
local measure. He' said he was the

Though Order Seems Restored in St.
Petersburg and Mcsccw, Conditions
In the Polish City Arc Going From
Bad to Werse.
While ther seems to have tetn a
complete restoration of order in Si.

Warsaw continue to go from bad to
worse. Estimates of the killed and
wounded in consequence of collisions
between mobs and soldiers place the
number at ICO. Bakers are on strik?.

have caused numerous collisions with

that the official tale of the dead

of the actuality, many having perished
in' an attempt to croa3 the river on

Kuropatkin Fails.
St. Petersburg, By Cable. General
Kuropatkin's attempt to break through
the Japeaese left wing and outflank
Field Marshal Oyama's position cn the
Shakhe river, seems to have failed en
tirely. Few de tails, however, are avail
able, beyond the information contained
in the official dispatches. Field Mar
shal Oyama, as at the battle cf Sha
khe river, appears to have arrested the
Russian advance with a counter of
fensive movement; but no great dis
position was shown to carry the war
fare into the territory held by the Rus
sians. At th Wa; Cfne, there is an in
clination to lay the chief blame for
the failure of the movement to a sud
('0:1 change of the weather to intense
ccld, 20 degrees below zero, with a
high wind, which drifted the snow and
rendered it hazardous to eopxse the
troops to camping in the open plain,
and also impeded the transportation
e:f it:-.r-, supplies and the wounded. The
operation entrusted to the second army,
unrier Central Grippcnbcrg, was the
capture of Sande pas, which, in Rus
sian hands, would serve as a pivot for
a flanking movement against Field
Marshal byru.ja, but Sandepas proved
too hard a nut to crack, and the Jap
anese, taking advantage of the check
of the Russians, hurried up their re
enforcemcnts. and assumed the offen
sive on the Hun river, as well as along
the railroad and the great Mandarin
load. The Russians, however, appear
to have been completely successful on
the defensive, repulsing all the Jap
anese attacks.
Wanted to Outflank Japs.
Russian Headquarters, By Cable.
Tha object of General Kuropatkin's la
test offensive movement was to capture
the important pest of Sandepas, on the
left bank of the Hun river, and there
by outflank the Japanese from the
Shakhe river and enable the Russian
army to undertake a general advance.
At Sandepas the Japanese occupied a
strongly fortified position commanding
the triangular formed by the confiu-'
ence of the Hun and Shakhe rivers.
The Japanese had erected a fort of
most permanent type with triple
earthworks and trenches extending in
a southwesterly direction. Several vil
lages to the northeast were also for
tified strongly. The positions were
held by twelve battalions of Japanese,
partly drawn from General Nogi's ar
my and partly reserves. The Russians
carried the first line of entrenchments,
but Were unable to maintain their po
sition on the outskirts of Sandepas in
the face of fierce cannonading." The
fighting was transferred westward. The
Japanese counter attacked with a bri
gade of infantry, endeavoring to en
velope the Russians, but the cavalry
protecting the Russian flank drove back
the Japanese with heavy loss. A coun
ter attack on the village captuiel by
the Russians at the outset of the fight
was also beaten 01T, but at the cost to
the Russians of several thousand killed
or wounded, including General . Mit
senchko, who was wounded in the knee.

Secretary Richard H. Lewis, of the
State board ef health, Is much pleased
at tho prompt tabling of the bill to
allow Henderson exemption from the
requirements of analysis of its water
supply. Tho inspection of water costs
Dniy 60 a year, and Secretary Lewis
ays all such supplies ought to be
watched with grcat care and analyzed
frequently. The supply at Henderson
villo is of remarkable purity, but of
course no ono can tell when it or any
supply may become contaminated.
The ether day a sample of water from
a town in the piedmont section was
received here for analysis and was
found to be very bad. Upon Inquiry
it was found that instead of having
Lhe sample taken by a competent
physician, a negro employe had been
ient to get it and that he took It from
a horse trough, using an unwashed
bottle, and of course not cleaning his
hands. Upon this discovery another
sample was properly taken, and found
Lo be all right. Speaking of smallpox,
Secretary Lewis said it was now in
31 counties and is spreading. He
?rys that immediately upon the devel
opment of a case the- county commis
sioners and board of health ought to
f.sve compulsory viccinati&n in a ra
iius of two miles.
