Such news dispatches that come 'through this morning added little to - 4et?'oight's official advices and 1 stories f eye witnesses. So. far as official reports .show the situation in Dublin is gradually be ing brought under control. The most important recent news that the reb els have been driven out of Stephen Green with bombs, sustaining heavy losses in killed and wounded, and prisoners, has not yet been confirmed officially. There seems to be' -no doubt, however, that the rebels still control various parts : of, Dublin and that street fighting with a lengthen ing list of casualties already will ex . eeedlOO.

"This quart law and that primary act has d d nigh mint our conven tion," one of tbe most earnest Dem ocrats who dislikes - both said last night. He was a partisan who wanted to see somebdy nominated and some balloting done. He did not pretend to be humorous. In his middle age he was witnessing the death of a noble institution, two noble ones, the convention drink and the heeler's power. All over the state appeared to be an understanding that in, soma way tha convention would be able to be tray its sympathy in the various fights, tbe Biekett or- Douglitridge predominance, the Hartness or Grimes ascendancy, and the Lacy and Mann standing.

"And I will be a If other unto you. and ye shall be my sons ami daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." There is a line running around this world, said Mr,' Aberhethy in begin ning his discourse, which divides the saved from the unsaved. Every hu man being is on one side or the other. The act that transform!) a person from one side to the other is regeneration. It is a change of mind, of heart and of life. The soul 's freedom from sin, the supreme' desire in God's church. All other Christian elements cluster around it., 'No one enters the king- om except hy the spirit. Mr. Abernethy eloquently present ed the regenerative processes by which a man, comes into a new life, spiritual life by which his soul re ceives a new affinity by which life made larsrer. more radiant, more useful, more, powerful. Continuing, Mr. Abernetliv declar ed there was no substitute for con secration. We may give money, we may give t:me but God cannot use us unless we are consecrated. We may sing, we may. lead meetings and we may de great things in the visible chujf h hut Gild cannot' use us unless i i : . j i II'. I ,iivee aru uuuuruiep w t only -wants snrrenderea Banners) but he wants surrendered saints. When is a man consecrated f Some are consecrated at the time they cross the line. They not only surrender sin and believe but surrender themselves. Others go weeks, and years and tin- lly surrender themselves, saying, thou has been my Saviour, now thou art not only my Savour but my Lord. Many take this step in a meet- rfg like this. Therefore we must pray. We must pray as a hungry child prays for bread. We must pray as a girl in a burning building prays for nelp. We must pray as a boy overboard crys for a life line. We must pray ns a mother pravs for a lost child. We must pray- as a man seeks a lost for- une. And we must wait. Ave must wait as an offectionate wife waits for the return of her husband from abroad. We must wait as a mother aits for her son at midnight. Wte must wait as a merchant waits for his richly laden ship. We must wait as Wellington waited for victory at Waterloo. We must wait as a mon arch waits for news of , battle upon which his empire hangs.- We must wait as Columbus waited for the sight of land. And we must remember that no one ever crosses the line until he surrenders himself and believes. I have said, continued Mr. Aber nethy, what I have said in order that might sav what follows. Look at the line. Here it is around the world. ' The human family is divided up. Here on th;s side of the line are saved.. Over there the nnsaved. And a great, remarkable thing is tbat, a great majority on both sides are just as near the line as they ean be. There is nothing more striking, more sig nificant than the fact that millions of the nnsaved are.yfsfc-as near the line as they cat be.' There are very few really bad men. In fact there are only 127,000 murderers, yeggmen and other, classes of criminals in the prisons of the United -States, while there are about 100,000,000 against whom the government Jias no charge. There are only a few, very few, God less, helpless wretches. On the other hand look beyond the line and see the men and women who nave oecucaiea xneir lives io wa. I nere is not a great crowa oi mem. Then, look on the other side of, the Une, near the line in fact, v There is a great crowd. ! -'.'They are respectable and .you. feel safe , with them.

OF COLORED CHILDREN. To Ba Eats Wished ia Concord at aa Early Date An effort is being made to estab lish in Concord an association of the Naiarene National Institute, for the home training of colored children and for the advancement of that race. The following are tbe officers of the asso ciation here: Rev. A. T. Draper, President. Rev. H. R. Walden, Worthy Chief. Kev. Geo. H. Spaulding, Secretary. Rev. E. T. McKeever, treasurer. A house will be secured somewhere in tbe Happv Hill neighborhood, and it is hoped that funds will be secur ed to erect a building later. In the prospectus the organizers say: 'It is the intention of the National Institute to reach not only the chil dren of the lower class but also the children of the better class of our colored population, in cases where the father and mother are employed and are unable to keep a personal watch over their children. It is the earnest desire of the institution to provide suitable opportunity for instruction and employment for the children of. aneh people. Some of these already feel the need of such opportunity for their children, while other feel that by providing comfortable homes they are discharging their duty toward their children. It is not enough to furnish a place to eat and sleep, the moral, domestic, intellectual and in dustrial life of these voung people should be guarded during the b,ours or the day when the lather and moth er are absent from them. This iR what we are doing daily." THE WHEAT MARKET. Snow and Rain in Northwest Lowered Price of Wheat Today. (Br The Auoelatea Preaa) Chicago, April 29.

Yet that's the kind of man Satan wants. Indeed 'he wants the well dressed man who can walk down the receiving line where carpets spring, diamonds glisten and rubies burn. 1 es, Satan wants the man who can lead the silk hat brigade. Referring to the man who is just across the line, Mr. Abernethy declar ed that such a man was not growing in life, was not growing in spirit but was just in a state of protracted in fancy. But this is where the large majority stand or sit. If you want some one in that crowd to go out and talk about God and about the church they can 't go. They are not prepared to talk about God. There are moth ers in that crowd who never talk to their children about spiritual life There are fathers in that crowd who never pray for their, children 's salva tion. What is the result. They will go back across that unsaved line as sure as there is a God if they won't go out into a large life of liberty and a life of power. What do you sav to get such a man back to the front of the line on the unsaved line. Do you just go over and tell him to come. No. He is the hardest man at all to get back. He says 1 am tmtnini, l nave morai stamania, I have honor, I have integ rity, why men across the line and hish in the church do things I would not do.

I. deefuted Catawba College in a two game series yesterday afternon by a score of 10 to 0. Brit ton Wilson oc cupied the mound for the home team, and was master of the game. He was in fine worm and the visitors failed to connect with his wonderful delivery, being exceptionally tight in pinches. Lewis Host, the local catcher, waa the sensation of the day with the stick, making five clean hits in as many times at the plate. His catching was first class, this being his first year behind the bat. He promises to be come a good catcher when he gets a little more experience. The visitors gave their pitchers poor support, mak ing eight errors. The whole team seemed to have a bad day, probably on account of overwork, and failed to measure rtp to the standard. After the locals knocked Wilson from the box he was relieved by Yount, who was then relieved by Wliitener, who held the locals score less for the "remainder of the game. The pitching of Wliitener was the best specimen of baseball the visitors showed. Another game today at 3.30. The batteries will probably be for the visitors.
