The Bishop returns in excellent health. Dr. M. Spitz will deliver on Friday evening, the29th. the firstof the seriesof lectures which are to be given at B'nai El Temple this season, the subject being "The Confidence in the Rabbi Should be Equal to the Confidence in God." Sunday week the new Fourth Christian Church, Penrose street and Blair avenue, will be dedicated.

The service will take place at 3 p. m. The pastor, Rev. B. W.

Johnson, will be assisted by Rey. J. II. Garrison. Besides, there will be the regular morning and evening services.

Rev. J. II. Garrison's two-year sojourn In Boston has given him a wonderfully exalted opinion of St. Louis people; for in his paper, the Christian Evangelist, this week appears a notice regarding the dedication of the F'onrth church, in which an invitation is extended to "all saints to be present." Archbishop Kenrick will leave Monday for Baltfinore to attend the conference of archbishops on the secret society question.

Catholic dignitaries here express the opinion that the Knights of Labor will not be condemned, if for nothing more, because of the conservative influence of St. Louis' Archbishop. Commencing this evening the Friday evening services of the Temple Israel, the new Jewish temple, will begin at 5:30 o'clock during the season, and Sabbath services at 10 a. m. The Sabbath-school will be organized next Sunday at 9:30 a.

in. at Pickwick Hall, and will be known as Hillel Sabbath-schools. The Presbyterian Union of St. Eouis meets Monday at 8 p. at the Lafavette Para: Church for the first time since the spring adjournment.

It is expected that city missions will be a leading theme of discussion as the pastors are waking up to the fact that the Baptists and Congregationalists are getting ahead of them. The first lecture under the auspices of the Bene B'rith will be delivered Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, by Rabbi D. Philipson of Baltimore, the subject being: "Ideals." It is understood that Rabbi Philipson is here somewhat on trial and that if he Dlease Shaare Emeth he will be secured as the" successor of Rev. Dr. Sonneschein.

The reports regarding the coming State Convention of tho Y. M. C. which is to be held at Independence from the 28tn to the 31st, are coming in fast and Secretary Coxhead states that an attendance of fully 200 delegates is expected. The opening session will be held Thursday evening, the 28th, Rev.

Dr. M. Rhodes of St. Mark's Church, this city, making the address. As already announced in the Post-Dispatch the Congregational headquarters are at Evans' bookstore, which has Just been reopened attractively on Eleventh, near Olive streets.

It is expected that the Unitarians and Episcopalians will also gather there. How he can keep peace in such a mixed family as that will be, Mr. Evans can't well tell, but he is banking a good deal on the Christian unity now so widely prevailing. Dr. Matthews, the new pastor at Centenary Church, is noted for bluntness, a blunt-ness which, however, dirferen; from Sam Jones', would not offend the most sensitive Christian.

He thus told his congregation the other day how he treated a religious crank In Kansas City: "I told him he had to quit his nonsense or I would make him. If he didn't I would put him out; I would kick him out. And he didn't bother us any more." The Gary Mission at Eleventh and Locust streets, desDite the absence of C. R. Garrison, who is temporarily preaching elsewhere, and notwithstanding that Dr.

Matthews at Centenary Church draws away some of the Sunday night congregations, still continues on a promising way. Last Sunday evening nearly every seat was taken and many rose lor prayers. The brave workers of the mission have taken advantage of the good weather to hold many out-door meetings in the district bounded by Twelfth street and the river and Market and Washington avenue. The Central Baptlgt has Inaugurated a crusade against "pulpit irreverence and wants to see the preachers pray and sing as much as other peoplo during public worship. Those who attended liev.

Thos. Harrison's evangelistic meetingsS.wo years ago will remember how he used to be on his knees behind the pulpit selecting the next hymn while somebody in front was praying. But this is no uncommon sight even in regular Sunday services, and the sight of the pastor busily engaged at something else while his colleague Is praying is a very usual thing. The interesting opening of the Baptist Church at Kirk wood will oceur Sunday. The neat little edifice has been extensively repaired and now is quite an attractive worshipping place.

Sunday there will be a mass-meeting at 3 p. to be conducted by the city pastors. The members wish their city friends and brethren to come out in force to their church and to their homes, which will be thrown open to them. The success that has come to this little church is in a great measure due to the efforts the temporary pastor. Rev.

Dr. W. H. Williams, editor of the Central Baptist. Little has been said about the affairs of Glasgow Avenue Presbyterian Church for nearly a month, but Its friends don't want the idea to get out that the quietness is a sin of lethargy or despair.

On the contrary things wear a hopeful look for them. They have made application to the Board of Home Missions for aid to the extent of $800, the amount to be advanced on th understanding that after the first year the chnrch will be self-sustaining if Rev. E. N. Barrett accept the pending call.

His decision awaits the action of the Board, which does not meet till early next month. Until then matters will remain In statu quo. What the church will do when once on its feet is shown by the activity of the Sunday-school, which in three months has doubled its membership and aroused a great feeling of spiritual interest.

The new edifice has been erected at a cost of and will be used as a chapel of a larger church to be erected in the future. The seating capacity is about 400. A CHANGE OF HEART. The Jewish Free Press, formerly the bitterest opponent of Dr. Sonneschein, says this week: "Dr.

S. H. Sonneschein spoke on the seventh Succoth day as he perhaps never spoke before in St. Louis. And he did speak Judaism.

And because of this he was more than brilliant he was inspired, and his audience was enraptured. We are no friend of his, but are ready to give him credit when credit is due him. Had he for the seventeen years that he has been ministering in St. Louis spoken in the manner he spoke on. Thursday; had he chosen his texts so carefully and digested his subjects so well far different would have been the results of his preaching and lecturing; a different Judaism would have arisen in St.

Louis than the Judaism of -today. We sincerely hope he will thus continue." DR. SONNESCHEIN AND SUNDAY. Dr. Sonneschein, in last Sunday's sermon said that as long as one drop of Jewish blood flowed in his veins he would not cease to oppose the desecration of the Sabbath by means of Sunday services.

But he also announced that for the edification of those who cannot attend Sabbath (Saturday) services a lecture will be given every Sunday morninsr at Pickwick Hall, beginning Sunday, October 31. The Jewish Free Press, commenting on this distinction between Sunday lectures and services, declares that a few years ago Dr. Sonneschein prophesied the result of the Sunday services would be the death of the Sabbath of the decalogue. It closes its comment with the significant quotation, "Verbum sap." EPISCOPAL NOTES. A letter was received by the vestry of St.

Peter's Episcopal Church to-day from Rev. Frank K. Brooke, accepting the recently tendered call, first mentioned in the I'ost-Dispatch. He Is now In Chicago, but will be in the city a week from to-morrow, and wili officiate at St. Peter's Sunday, the 31st.

Sunday next the morning services at St. Peter's will be conducted by Rev. T. O'Connell of Illinois. When the Post-Dispatch announced some days ago that Rev.

W. HerbertAssheton would soon return and accept the pastorate of the new Episcopal parish, the statement was received with incredulity by a great many, but now it is given out that Mr. Assheton will preach at Vandeventer Hall for the new parish next Sunday. Notes. Dr.

Ihe Whit Stockings Outplayed With Their Crack Team on the Field Nln Thousand Dollars Now in th Fool Spalding Advise Earlier Games Gossip With the- Chicago Sporting Notes. Score another error. This time It mast go down on Capt.

Anson's side of the card and it is aa error of judgment. 16 shows that the beat manager in the world" is apt to make a mistake now and then, and make it just in the very time when he should be most careful. The defeat which the Chicago team suffered yesterday at Sportsman's Park was almost Identical in cause with that which the Browns Buffered at Chicago the day before. Xet they ware beaten as badly and had less to say. In the evening after the game Capt.

Anson and his aggregation stood around the Lindell Hotel, smoked cigar3 and talked in whispers which died out into nothingness, when a stranger approached, and were replaced by a loud and careless conversation on different topics. Th scarries which the Chi ca. os won, according to Ansoa were won because the Chicagos were the greatest ball club the world ever saw. The first game tiicy lost well, how could they win it when the man who Fitcnea for them was a confirmed invalid, sick with rheumatism, which hud swollen his ankles and made his shoulders sorer than a horse with ring-bone or spavin? Dut yesterday's game? What had the savages to say about that? What in the world was the matter with von" Anson was asked- "How did you come to lose thut giiine?" "Didn't you see it yourself?" the big man aked his interrogator. "Wasn't you there? "es." "Well.

then, von know as much as I do about it," said he, frowning a storm- cloud. "Was Clarkson broken down, drunk, or did have a sudden attack of the rheumatism? l'grhaps he had nervous prostration." "That's all right about Clarkson; we were beaten and I'm not sayia' a word, and I won't." Then the "baby" lapsed Into a silence that r.o double-action pvrrnp could draw out, and lie spokfi no more. He was crushed. I'iniself was in a more pleasant humor, and ianghed good-naturedly when the defeat and victory were mentioned to him. "Yes, they got away with me to-day," said he, "without the shadow of a doubt.

I can't g.iv anything, but that they beat us all around. 1 never once during the whole game paid the Icist attention to the Association rules governing the pitcher, and I stepped out of the Lo at least forty times. I saw that the members of the St. Louis Club paid no more attention to me doing it than I did to the rules, and so I pitched as I pleased and didn't care. They just hit me and ht me hard." "Yes sir, they beat us to-day on the level, remarked Williamson with a he leaned over to talk to John Kelly, the umpire.

The defeat had no effect at all on the irrepressible Kelly, who told funny incidents of the naino to a group of admiring friends, ana Pieffer. Burns and the rest of the team didn't eeem to be more than ordinarily gloomy over fact that their grip on the prospective pile of glitter had been considerably loosened during the afternoon. The only one in the whole- crowd who was visibly affected was Anson and he was positively disheartened, probably because he was as much to blame or more than any or all of the club put together. THE RECEIPTS. The audience yesterday was variously estimated to have been between lO.OoO and 13,000, but although the park was packed the actual count did not show many more than 8,000 spectators.

The receipts taken in at the gates proved this to be the case when the money was counted up and a trifle oyer S2.400 was deposited In the Northwestern Savings Bank as the day's earnings. Thi3 will aggregate for the four games now played very nearly 59,000. This will average $2,250 to the game, and at this rate the total receipts for six fames as it will no be necessary to play at least that number will foot up $13,500, making the total for seven, should the score be still tied on the sixth day, J15.750 or over. Half of this sum would amount to and this divided between say a dozen men would give each man over SG50. Tne crowd yesterday exceeded by 3,000 the number of the best audience in Chicago, although it brought in less money.

Secretary Brown of the Chicfruros remarked last evening that the games would undoubtedly draw better in St. Louis than in liis own town and at Chicago's tariff would prove a Ounanza for the winning team. He said that both the club and Mr. Spalding vuuiu ijioicr luai iae quesaoa De settled this week once and forever by one of the clubs winning two straight games from the other. This result was preferred for the reason that.

it would do away with the universal cry of 1, T. I. -x. 1 V. vvunju was Douna to increase should the six games iu a.

no ana just so much damage to the purity of the emiae would be avoided. "Spalding, Von der Ahe, myself and the players all know that these games are as square as thev can be, and it really is so absurd to even thiak of anything else that it makes us sick to hoar this bosh about the series being fixed. It is thousands of dollars for the players and I assure you that our bovs will win the next two games if thev can, audi feel pretty certain that the St. Louis Club have made up their minds to do the same PRESIDENT VON PER AHE FEKLS PKOUu! "I don't see but what the Chicago people can make a mistake now and then as well as others." said the Browns' president at the park to-day. "Itwas certainly wrong to put in Caruthers at Chicago that last game, but they ve got tne worst of it all around in that particular.

My club is getting down into piav-lng trim now and there is no reason why we pliouldn't go in and win now, althouah I'm forced to confess that those Chicago "fellows Lave a habit of dyins hard. CLARKSON EXPLAINS. Considerable commotion was caused yesterday when Clarkson let in a few runs bv iniu-uieiousiy allowing O'Neill his base on balls on two occasions during the game. Ordinarily the tactics would be pronounced as good head-work, but when he once saw that Gleason was a dangerous man to play with, that once jliould have satisfied him that good hard pitching was preferable to such powerful risks us those Involved in deliberately placing three men on bases with a follower to the last like that which Gleason proved to be. In speakinsr the matter later on Clarkson said-Don't think that I was quite so careless as i probably seemed to be.

The first time I gave O'Neill the base! did it intentionally aseverv body could easily see. But the second time 1- V. 1 1 I v.i nruu imu WaiUUKUIUC JllCIltlie 81118 tnrough could tell I did my best to prevent linn from hitting the second time.

Hambley has filed a petition In the Circuit Court seeking a decree of divorce from Emily Hambley. They were married at Covington, Ky. July 13, 16S4. On the 1st of June last year Mr. Hambley alleges that his wife ordered him to leave the house and refused to live with him any longer.

She told him, he alleges, that if he did not leave her she would at once take steps to poison him. Believing that she would do him some bodily harm he did leave her and has not seen anything of her since. He addressed several letters to her subsequently begging her to allow him to return to her, bnt he received no reply. He had been informed, however that bis wife had said If he ever showed his face again she would kill him; that she was keeping a boarding-house and was well pleased with another man, and that she never wished to set eyes upon her husband again. Under these circumstances Mr.

Hambley thinks that he is entitled to a divorce Mrs. Gercke's Grievance. Judge Dillon to-day granted an order for payment of alimony pendente lite in the divorce case of Auguste Gercke against Henry Gercke. Mrs. Gercke is to receiye $35 per month and $75 for counsel fees.

Mrs. Gercke complained that her husband quarreled with her, cursed and abused her and beat, whipped and kicked her on divers occasions without any cause or provocation whatever. Mrs. Gercke further alleged that her husband transferred his affections to another woman with whom he is now living.

In support of her claim for alimony, Mrs. Gercke stated that her husband possessed considerable means, fully $15,000, and that the bulk of it was obtained through her industry and frugality, but that he kept it all to his own use. A Young Wife's Shame. A default was granted to-day in Judge Lubke's Court in the divorce case ot James H. Clarke against Jennie E.

Clarke. They were married on the 22d of February last year. Three months later Mr. Clarke alleges that his wife without any cause or provocation left the home that he had provided for her and brought shame and disgrace upon him by deliberately entering a house of ill repute, where she assumed the name of Mamie and received the attentions of dissolute men. The Beck Marshall Stock.

Waco, October 16. This beautiful city is, as in the past, still pushing to the front rank among Texas cities. There has been a great deal of talk about "Suffering Texas," but the facts do not bear out one-half the fuss and flutter that has caused the North to suppose that Texans were all about starved to death. There are some four or five counties In Western Texas that have had a good deal of suffering owing to the protracted drouth, but one wants to remember that Texas is an empire of its own, and what- affects one part of the State may be almost unknown in another portion. Prosperity has smiled upon Central Texas, and while some towns are complaining of hard times and poor crops, Waco still goes ahead on the even tenor of ber way, and her merchants' roll up to the city's credit a larger trade, in the aggregate, than that of 1885.

And while business has been on the increase, the town has also brought several hundred new comers to its midst, and they in turn have brought wives and children, swelling the population from 17,500 to nearly 19,000. The schools of Waco have no doubt been one of the most potent factors in bringing so many here during the past summer. It is conceded In all parts of the State, that Waco Is the educational center for the entire Southwest. The public schools of the city have been brought to a very high grade of proficiency, and lull credit for this is due to the untiring efforts of Prof. Gallagher the superintendent (and a skilled eorps of teachers).

Five years ago the Professor came here from Boonville, and took hold of what then looked like a Herculean task, that of combating the alleged Southern prejudice against the free school system. At that time there were only about tiuo school children in the town, and one-third of these were colored. Hut nothing daunted the friends of "Free Public Schools" went to work, and now behold the result: From the three districts of 18S1 have grown five additional ones, and to-day there are five handsome school bu'ldings for the whites, and three for the colored children. A force of twenty-eight competent teachers control the Caucasian part of the enrollment, and eight colored teachers manaee the colored schools, and strive to raise them up to a useful plane of manhood and womanhood. Xot atisfled with all this the Hoard of Education are engaged at present iu erecting a High school building havins sixteen larce school rooms, together with ollices for Superintendent and Principal, library, music, drawing and painting rooms.

When completed it will be one of the finest high schools in Texas, and will have bad an outlay on build-ins alone of over $60,000. There are at present 2,462 children enrolled as members of the eight school districts. About eight hundred of these are colored. The work that has been accomplished here during the past five years is most certainly a grand one, and the good people of Waco will find that it will bring its own reward in drawing the best class of immigration from ail over the country. It is not to be wondered at, though, that Waco has made such rapid strides in advancing the cause of education, for her people are retined, cultivated, hospitable and progressive, and are always ready to do all in their power to add to the glory or good reputation of their city, and added to the excellent public schools are three prosperous colleges the Baylor University, uuder the control of the Baptist Church of Texas, having an enrollment of between 300 and 400 students; Waco Female College, with a membership of 125, and Hill's Business College, with an annual attendance of some 500.

The last named school is without an equal anywhere in the South, and is doing a great work in giving a practical knowledge to the young man of to-day of what tends to make a successful business career. Prof. Hill understands his business thoroughly, and is to-day one of the best known business educators of our country. With these advantages is combined that of having somo of the best ministerial talent in the South. Waco, in a business sense, can be said to be taking rapid strides forward.

With one of the best populated counties in the State as a feeder and also as being the only city of any size within a radius of nearly loo miles, it would be rather remarkable were It In any way otherwise. Waco's growth has been very substantial and the town and county surrounding hava grown right along together. The business men, while thoroughly progressive, have yet moved cautiously, and as a consequence the credit of the merchants of Waco in Northern cities Is gilt-c-dged. This speaks well for the business Integrity of the commercial classes, for it is a notorious fact that if a man wants to be a rascal and defraud his creditors out of honest dues he can do it easier in Texas than in any other State in the Union. The "homestead law" of Texas is certainly one that needs changing sadly, and the sooner it is done the better off will the State be financially and morally.

Waco Is rapidly getting to be the place of Sunday resort for the traveling men. The Pacific Hotel is a regular home for tbem, and Mr. lleatherly, the proprietor, knows )ut what to do to make life enloymble for the boys. There is not a bUr kept hotel in the State, and as a consequence. It is crowded all the time.

Waco is fortunate in having a gem of a hotel, a first-class set of business men, good schools and churches, the finest flouring mill in the state, the most complete woolen mills in the Southwest and various other manufacturing Interests. With all these it is not to be wondered at that the city Is having a rapid growth. The Texas St. Ixnm Railroad Company have decided to locate their shops and will commence work on their buildings In the near future. This alone will add tiehrly two thousand laboring inhabitants to what the city already has.

Waco's future certainly promises to be a thing of substance and not mere talk. M. "Oh!

Schwatka Chats About His Exploring Expedition in Alaska. Chicago, October 23. Lieut. Frederick Schwatka was in the city yesterday. He was just returning from Alaska.

He said he was quite amused at the controversy of two New York newspapers over his discovery of the Jones River in Alaska. "One paper says there is no such river," went on the Lieutenant, "and if there is one it is an old one with a new name. I am just eroins to trv and catch thj train else I would show you the truth of mv discovery, but vou can say that the Jones River is a new discovery, that I followed it for thirty miles, that it isiot down on any record or map, but that it will oe on every omeial man of this country and be recognized the world over." Lieut. Schwatka started out at the head of a private expedition sent out last spring for Alaska. The mission was of an exploring character, purely to make an ascent of Mount St.

Llias, which is 19,600 feet high. He had a party of about twelve men with him, including Indians and all. Mr. Schwatka said that the expedition was entirely miccfssfnl in its object, or reasonably so; tbatthey climbed the mountain to the height of 17,200 feet, and were prevented irom coins hieher on account of the clouds. The snow line is at the base of the mountain, and several miles of glacier bad to be traversed before ths Ti.iitv reached the base prior to the ascent.

They were four days in malcin the ascent. Mr. Schwatka said that the expedition will not be renewed. Comparatively little is known of Alaska ex cept that of the coast line. The Lieutenant said that its resources were great, but that some interests like that of mining, as in other sections, were uncertain.

Other interests or products are, he said, thoroughly assured, but need development. The fisheries he mem-tionea, among other things, as very promising, but needed a population along the Pacific coast to develop the enterprise. The fur seal interests are leading at present. Lieut, achwatka left last evening for New York.
