A. GUTTMAC1IER. "At tbe present time." said Rev. Dr. A.

Guttmacber in his sermon ou "The Science or Right Living." at the Madison Avenue Temple, "the relation between conduct and religion is an Intimate one. Pulpits of all denominations teach not only tenet and doctrine peculiar to their faith, but tbey lay infinite stress upon conduct, upon the ethical side of lif6. In the very early times, in the childhood of the race, If we may judge from existing savaeo life and from the earliest records of civilized life, religion and conduct occupied quite separate spheres. Tbe god was approached and propitiated by methods known to the priest, by magic formulas which had no more to do with conduct than tbe word by wbioh Aladdin controlled tbe slaves of tbe lamp. "Tho ancient Hebrew, however, could point to the pages ot the Bible for a moat complete system of ethics, which outlined and defined bis duties and obligations applicable to all conditions and circumstances of life.

There were the Ten Commandments, with their strict injunctions. But if we may judge by the terrible denunciations of tbe prophets, these moral precepts bad but a loose bold upon tbe life of the people. Instead of looking upward they groveled in tbe dust. Human nature seems to be almost the same In every age and generation. It will be a long time.

I fear, before tbe ideal of holiness Is reached, which ought to be the one rule bf life. The thunders of Sinai were first heard thousands ot years ago, but tbeir echoes are still unspent. Duty bas to cry with as loud a voice as of yore, for tbe world is still slumbering. It beeds not the deliberate testimony of the so-called who. seemingly possessed of everything that oould make life happy, bave yet declared that tbey have hardly known one happy day.

It heeds not tbe hungry, dissatisfied looks in the faces of those who give themselves wholly to self-indulgence. Nay, it Is to tbe solemn message tbat Is spoken by the very brevity of life. Every day tbe folly, tbe insanity of attempting to live by bread alone Is demonstrated before the eyes of men, yel every day hundreds and thousands set forth with light hearts upon the same mad Quest. "What we need in our lives is more spirituality. And here let me say the keydtone upon which tbe whole arch rests, the secret of life, lies in feeling, in the heart, not the head.

Tbe enlargement of life does not depend upon opportunity, but upon sympathy. The man without faith may do good on impulse, but the man with faith will do good on prinoiple. Fair.h in what and in whom? Well, faith that God is our Father, not by way of dreamy fantasy, but that He bears our prayers and will help our endeavors: faith tbat we are in this world for a definite and easily understood purpose every oue else Is here for tho same purpose. Religious faith is indispensable to the attainment of the great ends of life. A man cannot suffer and be patient, he cannot struggle and conquer, he cannot improve and be happy, without conscience, without hope, without God in the world.

The total rejection of the moral and religious belief strikes out a principle from human nature as essential to it as instinct is to animal life, as the circulation of the blood to the human body. Man, through ingenuity and energy, performs the most astonishing. things. In tbe mad rush aftor progress there seems almost no limit to man's ingenuity and ability. Yet there are moments in the lives of the A HEATY RAINFALL.

It-was Accompanied by Thunder sad Lightning and Also by Hail. The thunder-storm of yesterday afternoon, was local to Baltimore and its vicinity. With a temperature which began with 80 degrees at 8 o'clock in tbe morning and rose steadily until it was 87 at 2 o'clock, and with a humidity which grew oppressive as the day advanced, it seemed as if sweltering humanity could stand no more on a bright September day. Clouds began to gather and grow thicker, and about 3 o'clock a summer-storm was ushered in with accompanying lightning and The rain began to fall at 3.10 and soon it was coming down in sheets. But this did not last long.

At 3.50 it oeased, the skies became blue and the sun came out again. Then the skies became dark again and at 4.35 a vivid flash of lightning and a sharp crash of thunder presaged the return of tho storm. For another hour the rain fell, though in a less wholesale manner, and at 5.30 it ended for good. The storm in several points in tho suburbs was accompanied with considerable wind. At Fairy Grove, on Back river, it blew over the chairs on the porches aud in tho pavilions and carried them out into the grove.

At Hall's resort, in the same vicinity, a tent, which was used Tor a side show, was blown down. The storm was also severe along the Frederick road. Hail fell in some places. Lightning set Are to a telegraptt pole on Light street, below Lombard. The pole was consumed its entiro length, and a metal pole which stood alongside, was twisted by the heat of the flames.

Lightning also oaused an alarm of lire to be sounded from tho automatic alarm-box at Bartlett Hayward's foundry, on Mo Henry and Scott streets. The Late James c. Mills. The remains of Mr. James C.

Discussed In Sermons In the Hebrew Synagogues. ROSHHASHAXAH, OR NEW TEAR Observed -with Impressive Services and Beautiful Music Rabbi Rosenau Talks About "Slcna ot the Times" at Oheb Shalom Temple-Sermons by Kabbl Guttmaoher, at tbe Madison Avenue Temple.

The observance of Rosh Hashanah, or the Hebrew New Year, ended yesterday with services in the morning: in the temples of the reformed and progressive Jews. Among the orthodox believers the reliarlous ceremonies of the New Year will extend over today. The eervloes of yesterday morning were larjrely attended in all the syuairofrues and temples. Tbe music followed the outline of the programmes given in The Sun and was impressive and interesting.

As the congregations dispersed many of the members paused for a moment or so to congratulate the singrersof tbe choir for the excellence with which both traditional melodies and modern sacred compositions had been rendered. Many strangers were also attracted to the different synagogues by the music. Tbe sermons preached at tbe various synagogues comprised tbe following subjects: Obeb Shalom Temple, Eutaw Place and Lanvalo street. Rabbi William Eoseaau, "Signs of the Times." Baltimore Hebrew Congregation, Madison avenue and Robert street. Rabbi Adblph Guttmaoher, "The Solence of Right Living." Har Sinai Temple.

ROSENAU. Eev. William Rosenau mentioned the P. A. and tbe Cathollo Church, the Pullman strike and other current topics as illustrations in his sermon on "Tbe Signs of tbe Times" at Oheb Shalom Temple.

"There are undoubtedly many," be said, "who hold that tbe signs of tbe times indicate a speedy advent of those happy conditions for which man has a fond yearning at all times and for which be now fervently prays. To tbem it may seem that the signs could never be better. 'Let they say, 'view tbe social signs. Was society ever a more harmonious body than today? Isn't equality the watchword of the hour? The same advantages are open to the rich and the poor, tbe high and the lowly. Oppression and its thousand and one.

'And is no: the moral sign most say these people, Aro not man's conceptions Of the right and the wrong, the good and tbe bad, clearer, purer, better than ever? There is none but admires virtue and ebuddors at tbe thought of vice. Our age Is not marked by the violation of chastity and tbe sacrifice of human life, bo characteristic of former centuries. The heart of almost every man is an inexhaustible fountain of sympathy. When be can allay suffering he does It willingly and generously.

Our charitable institutions testify la accents loud to this. Toward animals, too, man shows himself humane and no longer finds sport and amusement in matching animals against one another. 'And how satisfactory also is the religious slgnl How much of that bigotry which once marred religious splendor has gone forever. Religion Is no longer supposed to have been brought to life like Minerva, perfect in all respeots. None today disputes tbat it took centuries to develop tbe truths which form the strenerth of every faith.

And with the geueral indorsement of evolution as the main factor in tho creation of religion, bib -liolatry has received its death-blow. The Bible is believed' by none to have spoken the final word on every problem which in tbe course of history might suggest itself. The distinction between religion and science has become recognized. Peace has even been established between the representatives of different creeds, and instead of the old warfare men of different beliefs accord one another the hospitality of their "Were we to go by these descriptions of the elans of the times we would be led to suppose that we are already at our Journey's end. at 'the city of the eternall' Would that conditions obtaining today justified such generous exaltation of our airel But tbey do not.

They who would sro into ecstasy over our century merely grasp a part, but not the whole of the situation. The great superiority of our age over Its predecessors bas dazzled them so that tbey have drown blind to the. Imperfections of ourtimej. "What Is tbe real social status? Already a much better one than in tbe past, but with still further room for betterment. The roiirn of peace and good-will, when swords shall be beaten into plowshares and spears into pruning knives.

Is not only not yet established, but is yet far, very far. from establishment. 'Equality' in the broad sense given to tbat term is still an idea aud no reality. Lines ot distinction between man and man are today vet being sharply drawn. Look only at the frequent wrangles between labor and capital, at tbe repeated wars between nation and nation, and at tbe ever-recurring persecution of creed by creed.

You can behold them not only in barbarous or semi-civ ilized lands, but also in countries which claJm to be the first In everything that appertains to civilization. "Here in our own America our eyes may be witness to spectacles unbecoming its eu-vlablo character. How often do we not leuru of riots instituted by the working olasses against autocratic bosses? The Pullman strike Is still fresb iu our memory. How often do we not bear of 'Our country sending armed men to assert its rights?

Unquestionably a loftier one than obtained in the past, but there is still soope for advancement. Tbo one God Idea has not yet found its way into every creed known to man. Many a man's convictions are still tbe work manshlp of credulity and not of thought. Tbe most ridiculous religious superstitions still hold amoug thousands of people. Creeds which claim to bring to man tbe message ot real salvation refuse to admit the light of reasonjlnto their teachings.

Tbe faiths are few which will concede that they do not unfold tbe whole truth to him wbo seeks it. Time and again we are treated to tbe interesting details of the heresy trial ot some individual by bis church. "These are tbe signs of tbe times. None can question thoir conformity to existing facts. The peculiar characteristics here lndloated bavo come within tbo range of every one who is a careful observer.

I would say that the 'City of Ideality' was yet a great distance from us.

Visitor. Mr. A. Morton Bell, of the motive power department of tbe Great Eastern Railway of England, was in Baltimore yesterday. He came to inspect the electrical equipment of the Belt Railroad and took a trip through the tunnel on tbe electric locomotive.

Mr. Bell expressed surprise at the permanent nature of the equipment and tbe success attained in its operation. The Great Eastern Railway, he said, enters London through a long tunnel, and about 800 trains a day pass through it. Much discomfort, be said, resulted from the smoke of tho locomotives and to abate the trouble experiments are now being mado with oil-burning engines, with some success. He thought that electricity had many opportunities in England for service similar to that of tbe Belt Line.

One Accident Near Havana, the Other in the English Channel.

The Spanish Cruiser Barcastegnl Ran Down by a Merchant Steamer and the Admiral Drowned Remarkable Rescue of the Passengers and Crew of the Netherlands Liner Edam After Colliding with the Tarklstan. Havana, Sept. 19. The cruiser Bar-castegui was wrecked at midnight by coming in collision with the merchant steamer Mortera in the canal at tbe entrance of tbe port of Havana. Admiral Delgado Parejo and three other officers and forty-two of the crew were drowned.

General Parejo's body has been recovered. Captain Ybanez's body was also recovered, but In a badly mutilated condition, indicating that ho had been crushed in tbe collision. The cruiser Bar-castegui had been employed on gover nment business between different parts of tbe Island of Cuba. Gen. Delgado Parejo was commander of the Spanish naval forces in Cuba.

He arrived on the island June 17 from Spain. The Barcastegui was a third-class cruiser, carrying five, heavy and two rapid-fire guns. She was of 1,000 tons displacement. She was built in 1876. The cruiser left at midnight with Gen.

Delgado Parejo on board. On reaching the mouth of the harbor, close to Moro Fort, the Barcastegui came in collision with the Mortera. a steamer engaged in the coastwise trade. The Mortera 3truck the cruiser on the starboard side and she sank at once. The greater part of the crew was saved by- the boats of the Mortera- General Parejo, Captain Ybanez.

First Lieutenant Lopez Aldazajo, Second Lieutenants unco. Soto and Canajo, Dr. Martin, Purser Pueyo, Machinist Zarzuela and thirty-six of tbe crew were drowned. Aide-de-Camp Gaston was saved. Victor Troja, another of the officers, had bis leg broken, but was picked up by a boat from the Mortera.

Captain Vinal, of the steamer Mortera, in tbe course of an interview today, said tbat at 11.15 o'clock last night, when he was within two chiles of the entrance of the harbor and going at a moderate rate of speed, he saw ahead on his starboard side a green light, which he presumed was tbat of a steamer leaving port. "I ordered the engineer to slow down," said Captain Vinal, "and proceeded on our course, hearing two whistles from the cruiser, to which we replied. Turning into tbe harbor and keeping in sight on our starboard the green light of the cruiser, we whistled twice again, thus indicating that we were turning Into the harbor, when suddenly all the lights of the cruiser were put out. I Immediately ordered tbe engineer to steam backward, but it was of no avail, for the steamers collided. I ordered boats to be lowered and life-preservers t( be thrown overboard.

After tbe collision we were entangled with the Barcastegui for a timp, but tbis situation endangered the as well as the cruiser, and I ordered the engines to go ahead, my intention being to try to run the Barcastegui asbore. I toon found, however, that this could not be done with safety to the Mortera. Backing off from the cruiser, the Barcastegui sank almost instantly." Admiral Delgado Parejo was the last man to leave tbe cruiser, being taken off in a row-boat, which was about to start for shore, when the suction occasioned by the sinking of tbe Barcastegui carried the boat down and ail on board were drowned. The cause of the extinguishment of the lights on board the cruiser, which undoubtedly was the cause of tbe collision, was occasioned by tbe stopping of tbe engines to save the life of a sailor whose arm had been caugbt in the dynamo. COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.

The Steamship Edam Sunk, but Alloa Board Plymouth, Eso- Sept. 19. The steamship Edam, of the Nertherland-American Line, from New York lor Amsterdam, was sunk by collision early tbis morning in the English channel, about fifty miles southeast of Start Point. Tbe passengers and crew of the Edam took to the boats at once, and were soon afrer picked up by a trawler and brought into tbis port. The disaster occurred during a dense fog.

and the vessel with which tbe Edam collided, the Turkistan, was able to proceed on her way toward Cardiff, apparently not seriously injured. The trawler Vulture was on the fishing grounds, 15 miles from the Eddystone lighthouse, last night. Tbe night had been clear. Just before 1 o'clock a thick fog came up. Those on board the Vulture heard a great blowing of whistles and then a terrific crash.

Tbe Vulture proceeded Immediately to tbe spot from which tbe sounds issued and went alongside tbo steamship Edam, which, was rapidly filling. Captain Brunsma requested tbat tbe Vulture stand by. The ship's boats were then quickly lowered and the passengers were helped into them without accident. The passengers were greatly alarmed, but tbere was no panic among tbem. The majority went on deck without hiving taken time to dress.

The women and children were first embarked in the ship's boats. The sea at tbe time of the collision was perfectly-smooth. The steamer Turkistan, which did not appear to bave sustained serious injury by the collision, stood by until danger was passed, and then proceeded in the direction of Cardiff. She was in ballast from Loudon. The Edam was struck amidships on the port side.

Captain Brunsma was on the bridge at tbe time. He had beard tbe Turkis-tau whistle, and had replied several times. When at last the vessel loomed out of tbe fog it was too late to avoid a collision, but the captain immediately signaled to reverse engines and ordered everybody on deck. He directed that the passenger, officers and crew be divided into four parties one for each of the steamship's boats. Tbe boats were lowered without any panic.

In the meantime boats from tbe Turkistan had arrived, and Captain Drew, of the Vulture, brought his trawler alongside the fast-sinking Edam. The officers of the Edam refuse to give any details of the disaster, but from other sources it was learned that the Edam settled down stem first and sank about forty minutes after the vessels struck, by which time all the boats had gotten clear of the doomed ship. Captain Brunsma tried to board her again before she sank, but the danger was too great. Tbe passengers were all emigrants of tbe poorest class, and none of them could speak English, being mostly Austrians and Dutch. When they reached Plymouth they presented a pitiable spectacle, the most fortunate of them being only half clad.

They were, boweter, soon provided with clothes. English yachtsmen contributed money for the alleviation of tbeir distress and local tradesmen gave generously for tbe same purpose. All the male passengers have been comfortably boused in the Sailors' Home here, and the women and children bave been placed elsewhere, pending arrangements for carrying tbem to their destination. New York, Sept. 19.

The Edam, Captain Brunsma. sailed from this port September 5, bound for Amsterdam. On this trip she carried no cabin passengers, but there were about 50 persons in tbe steerage. The men numbered 43. The Edam was built at Rotterdam in 1S83.

She was 330 feet long, 30 feet beam and 20 feet deep. She registered 3.130 tons gross and 2,26" tons net. She hailed from Rotterdam and was owned by the Netherlands-American Steam Navigation Company. FRANCE AND RUSSIA. Significant Visitors Witness the Maneuvers of the French Army.

Enormous crowds witnessed tbe great review today of the French army, which has been maneuvering during the week in the department of the Vosges. Tbe Russian general, Dragomiroff, has been with the' troops throughout- the maneuvers. Today Prince Lobanoff, the Russian minister of foreign affairs, joined General Dragomiroff. The presence of these two repre-sntatives of Russia with the French army Is regarded as having exceptional signill-cance, and is taken as evidence of the Czar's desire to emphasize the existence of an alliance between Russia and France on military grounds. Prince Lobanoff is tbo closest confidant of Czar Nicholas.

The Chica-amauga National Park extending, with its approaches, from Sherman Heights, in Tennessee, six miles north of Chattanooga, to Glass Mill, in Georgia, a distance of twenty-two miles, was dedicated today. The territory embraces or overlooks the fields of the five days' general battle between tbe great armies and three days of minor engaero-ments, namely. Chickamausra, Orchard Knob. Lookout Mountain aud Missionary Ridge, Brown's Ferry aud Wauhatchie. Ia tho strife of thirty-two years ago these beautiful ravines and mountain sides were strewn with nearly thirty thousand dead and wounded men.

The dedication today was conducted by tbe 'same men who at that time sought each other's lives, but today they met at brothers and patriots under a common flag. Tbo ceremonies were witnessed by 50,000 people of the North and South. Of President Cleveland's cabinet, Attorney-General Harmon, Secretary of the Navy Herbert, Secretary of the Interior Smith and Postmaster-General Wilson were present, and there were a baker's dozen of Governors and many acknowledged officers of both armies. The ceremonies took place at Snodgrass Hill, whose tip aud side for a mile or mora were so thickly covered with dead this day thirty-two years ago that, as the survivors say, one could walk all over it from crest to base stepping from one prostrate body tu another. Hours before the exercises began the bat-tle-fie'd was alive with people who had coma to attend the dedication.

The first event of the day was a display of arms by battery F. fourth United States artillery. Then there was a battalion regimental drill, sbowiug the new tactics and field movements, under command of Colonel Holland.Tbese exercises at arms were of great interest to the veterans, to the "rebs" and "yanks," though the old fellows expressed tbe belief that such tactics would have fallen as timothy before a mower if placed against those adopted during tbe battle of Chickamauga. Vice-President Stevenson presided over the dedicatory exercises. He was introduced by Gen.

John S. Fulierton. chairman of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park. When tbe Vice-President came forward be was greeted with loud applause. Ha made a brief but eloquent speech.

Tbere was a national salute of 41 guns by the artillery, followed by tbe "Star-Spangled played by one of the United States infantry bands. It was cheered to the echo by veterans of tbe blue and of the gray. Prayer was offered by Bishop Gainor, of tho Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee. "America," the beautiful national anthem, was then sung by tbe audience, accompanied by the band, and every one of the fifty and odd thousand of people assembled, blue and gray, sang it. Gen.

John M. Palmer, the venerable Senator from Illinois, who participated the battle, made the first dedicatory address. He became grandly eloquent as he advanced ia his address, and be was applauded witht vigor. Another patriotic tune followed, and then the hnrt.l-SfrtrrA.1 vprirn of r.hf. fVinffWl- eracy.

"Let us make a more resolute effort to enlarge our lives, to bring into tbem more spirituality. It is within the power of every one of us. Tbe materials of right living abound about us. lining our worldly path, furnished by our daily work. Nothing is asked of us but what we can do.

We are not asked to be tbe best; we are asked to be better. We are not asked to bo tbe most pure, but to be purer. We nesd not be saints, but we can all be men and women with a noble conception of a manhood and womanhood. To do our daily work better, to be more honorable in our dealings, to be more chaste in word and deed, to purify our pleasures, to rob self of more and more of its empire over our hearts this is within the power of us all." REV. TOBIAS SCHANFARBER.

"Hoping for Better Things" was the subject upon which Rabbi Tobias Schanfarber preached at Har Sinai Totnple. "Man's de-Sires are never wholly met," he said. Today create a world in which all his ideals have been attained, and tomorrow these ideals will no longer satisfy. New ideals troop in to take tbeir place. "A quiescent world, In which there was naught to hope for, nauzht to wish for.

would soon grow monotonous. Man wants to be something' more than a mere autom aton. Our life, to mean something, must be stirred fty ambition and fired by aspiration. Eastern passivity would make the srrave preferable to life. It Is the stern realities of life tbat loud it zest and charm.

It is just because we know tbat all our ideals have not yet been met tbat tbese create a desire for tbeir realization. "A might suit tor a time, but a world in which all our energies were relaxed would soon relax our spirit and wo would not want to iro on. Utopia creates Utopia, and there is no 1M JJorado but what there is another still richer in its productiveness. Tbe millennial age is simply a relative term. Attained, new millennia, spurring on to higher perfection, become tbe ideals.

"In a world where new prospects ara con stantly suggesting new aspects things may seem more disheartening anl discouraging. and yet it is in just such a world that we can live. We want a world in which we can think, in which we can feel, in which wo can labor and run a race. We want a world which there is a possibility of intellectual. moral and spiritual growth; in which by our own efforts, and not through the intervention of some power extra human, we can bring to fruition tbe new hopes and aspirations which are constantly pressing themselves to the fore and clamoring for realisa tion.

"Such is the meaning of life. Change is its constant refrain. This, too, is the message of the new year's hour. Upon the unwritten scroll of tbe new year it is inscribed in letters which nevor have been grouped into words but what they havo bad their impress upon those wbo bave road tbem. 'Hope for better things' spells and sounds the meaning of Its ominous rhythm.

Indeed, we are safe to assert that no matter what wo have achieved, no matter what we have ac complished during tbe past year for all of us, it Is full of tbe unbroken fragments of tbe unachieved. A thousand things we hoped for which we did not accomplish, a thousand things we dreamed of tbat we did not fully grasp. And then what do we do? have no fault to find with it. Aye, it is a blessing. We simply objectify ourselves into the future; we simply idealize.

"This year tbe flower that withered will blossom; the seed that died will sprout forth. Tbis year tbe things tbat we are not able to do in tbe past year will find fulfillment. This year there will be fewer 'might-have- beens' to stand up and charge us leot and indifferenoe. This year we will quicken our mental life, we will bestir our moral life, we wilt feed our spiritual lite. This year we will minimize sin and wrong and make 'Excelsior' our standard's call.

This year we will subordinate all our physical appetites to our spiritual cravings. Thus whatever has betided us In the past year, whether fortune or misf ortuue, whether Joy or sorrow, our booe runs high for better and glorious results." RET. CLIFTON H. LEVY. "Where am was tbe title of Rev.
