He will preach tonight in thu Taber nacle church and tomorrow at noon in the auditorium." I no services will continue at these places for suvei.il days. Mr. McWhorter. in his sermon to day, showed that man longs for some thing not obtainable by position and money. Religion of one sort or 1111 other domliiMies the acts of human ity. If It is not the religion of Ood, it is some oilier religion, for some fort of religion is always evolved. In support of this statement one need lint to glance at history. The soul of man is ever seeking for that which It cannot obtain .in this world- Man walks this earth a pilgrim and a stranger, with a de sire for something: he is never sat isfied and, unlike animals, he never finds rest: he always seeks. Ho can not depend on environment and asso ciation for comfort this must -onic from God and this is why man, un der everv condition, seeks a god. 1 he soiil ever searches, ever longs for something. Mr McWhorter concluded with an appeal to the congregation to devote their lives to the true God, to.. labor for Him. to serve Him. Rev. Mr. Massee. who had Mr. Mc Whorter to preach In the absence ol Dr. Dixon, added a few words to what the speaker had said.

CLEARY Claimed By Dublin Constabu lary to Have Poisoned Her (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, April 29. The un usual sight of an ocean steam ship being held up in the lower bay while a trio of detectives searched and located an alleged murderess was witnessed today by Beveral hun dred passengers on the incoming Campania as she lay at anchor off quarantine. The object of the offi cials'' search was Mrs. Margaret Cleary, of Clalremorris, county Mayo, Ireland, who was held prisoner as the result of the receipt of a cablegram from the Royal Irish constabulary at Dublin. It Is alleged that, prior to leaving her home, she secretly ad ministered poison to her wealthy hus band and then fled the country at night, making her way to Liverpool, where she took passage under the name of Miss Margaret McCormlck. Mrs. Cleary was accompanied hy Miss Kathlyn Bowns, her cousin, also pretty, who was registered under the name of Katherine McCormlck. Captain Cheerfully Cooperates. The vessel was met at quarantine by Detectives Leeson, Ailmer and Moody, who went down the bay in a United States revenue cutter. They had been furnished an excellent de scription of the woman and, after telling the captain of the Campania of their quest, he ordered the vessel held until the trio could search every part of the ship. After going through the first and second cabins, they went to the steerage, where the two women were located. Everyone else had left the compartment and stood on the decks. Mrs. Cleary was asked to step to the smoking-room of the sec ond cabin, Where she was questioned at length. She said she had come to America for the purpose of visiting a brother in Brooklyn who was identi fied with one of the traction com panies, v. The examination of the woman startled her cousin, for she had not the remotest idea she har been ac cused of anything wrong. Mrs. Cleary maintained for fully half an hour that her trip was solely for pleasure, when suddenly one of the detectives raid: ': "Your husband died the day after you left Ireland, and we have re ceived a cablegram to arrest you and hold you for extradition." Jloth Women Collapse. Both women collapsed. Mrs. Cleary remained silent fully 15 minutes and the detectives again began to ques tion her. At length she became In dignant. She declared she had a right to land in New York and said she would fight a way. She returned to the steerage, followed by Miss Bowns, and remained there until the vessel was ordered to proceed. She again came on deck, but the detect ives kept guard over her. The Im migration authorities demanded she be sent to Ellis Island and, after tele phoning Inspector McCafterty, the de tectives accompanied her to EUls Is land on the immigration ferry. The local police did not learn the details of the alleged murder further than that Cleary was an exceedingly wealthy young man and that as soon as he died and his wife had disap peared, suspicion pointed to her.
