Thb bm OcxA of Jan. 25, quoting from the volumes of the tenth census from corn merited in ed. itorial on (be remarkable growth of the Lutherans in the United State. Among other things it states, that one of the most perplexing quest io i the Lutherans have had to deal with in this coun' ry has been that of language also that it was a significant and encouraging fact, that all the corrrsponde nee of the Census Office dr.

The article concluded by predicting a glorious future for this powerful church. Jk' 1 iSilMIi WICKER PARK LUTHERAN CHCRCII. And Chicago is par excellence the Lutheran city of the western hemisphere, and as the younger generation grows up it will be a great religious power in this city if the faith of their ancestors is adhered to.

The Scandinavians and Germans in the i ghborhood of Wicker Park, finding it to be impossible to make young America prefor the cherished speech of their ancestors to he leas romantic Eng mm lish, concluded that phot. b. w. religion was not a question of language. As much as they love their fatherland they love their faith more.

And realizing what they owe to their adopted country and to tbeir chil dren they determined to perpetuate the sound principles of Martin Lather in the Anglo-Saxon. In this they but imi'ated the many thousand churches of the Eastern States, where Pennsylvania alone numbers now 219,069 Lutheran communicants. Although mcst of the Lutheran churches of Chicago and of the Western cities conduct their service" and religious instruction exclusively in the foreign language, ytt the near future will produce the same inevitalle result that the Eastern churches have experienced. In gentlemen who some years ago were instrumental in the organization of the W'icker Park Church, on the corner of North Hoyne and Lemoyne avenues, where the services are always conducted in English, are the Hon. John Bushier.

since then, however, the church baa continued to increase its membership. and tM Sunday school enrolls now 600 chi'-dren, with aa avenge attendance of 43a This hurch is part of the Pittsburg Synod, that rge Lutheran communion which, on ac count of its aggressive church work and its nerosity almsgiving and sacrifices, is sometimes called the "Missionary Synod." The Iter. W. A. Passavant, D.

editor of Workman, of Piiisburg, was tlie founder 1 this yncd, aud is known throughout the United States for his indefatigable labors in the cause of charity and education. The Emergency Ho-pi'al on Bast Superior street, hospital in MJaaukee, and one in Jacksonville, the orphans ges of Rochester. Zclirnap'e, sad Mount Vernon, New York, are the result of a life devoted lo the alleviation of the condition of the a.ck. the (orphans and the needy. On a journey through Europe nearly half a century ago he became interested in tie noble ork of the- deaconesses in the Lutheran be unities and he determined to introduce I ITS i mm them here.

These faithful women end fine Samaritans are working unostentatiously large cities among the poor and in hos pitals and in asylums. Jensson's Iuthefan Biographies describes Dr. PassaTant as a mabJ who believes in faith that works and who hates a shamming religion. Although now past the age of three score and ten. be is still hale and hearty.

and wherever he is called he still displays the same fervent activity in his Master a cause. The same book, speaking of the Rev. H. W. Roth, D.

the present pastor of the Wicker Park Church, remarks: "In any assembly of the church where Henry Warren Both aits, he is sure to be a conspicuous figure, both for the large head crowned with a profusion of hair and for the graceful remarks accom panied with the flashing of the lustrous eye and the vigorous action of the whole body." He has been in the ministry for nearly thirty years, while he has devoted much of his life to the cause of education. He was the first professor of Thiel College, Greenville where he labored for seventeen years. His tetirement.in 1887, when he accepted bis present position, was the signal for a great outburst of -popular affection, by the entire population of the town. An elegant gold wa'ch. which he carries near his heart, i presented to Mm by the citizens.

He devotes part of his rime to the institu tions founded by Dr. Passavant, and is also Professor of Practical Theology and Church History in the new English Lutheran Semi nary in Lake view. He speaks of it as a priv ilege and blessing of his spititual life to be associated With Dr. Passavant in the fields of Chris'iao labor. The present flourishing condition of the Wicker Park Church must be ascribed to his earnest efforts and his patience and faith, few weeks ego the congregation paid off hen tv mortgage which had incumbered the church for many years.

Stoecker. for the last thir- teen ears. The music rendered yes'erday for Palm Sunday was excellent, especially the solos of Miss Annie Olson and Miss Mamie Belz. Yesterday was confirmation day. Thirteen young ladies and thirteen young gentlemen were admitted to membership in the church.

The crowded audience was a testimony to the great in'erest that the parents of the neighborhood take in the spiritual we' fare of the children. The pastor's sermon suited the festive occasion. He took his text from St. Matthew 15, selecting the short phrase, "Hosanna to the Sou of David." He said "Tliis joyful sound came from a group of children in the temp'e. of 'Jerusalem after Christ's entrance into the Holy City, immediately before His death.

''But this exclamation did not originate -with the chilJien. This Hosanna was shouted by the Jewish people on special occasions and great festivals only so' that when these children gave vent to their overjoyed hearts on seeing the son of David, not arrayed in the royal robe of His august ancestor, but in the lowly condi' km in which He cht.se to present Himself, some extraordinary things roust have caused these outbursts or homage and joy. These children had heard the hosannas of the mull rude U.ey had sen their parents spread palm branches and their garments on the way as Christ entered the city riding the colt of an sss.

PROMINENT AND RESPECTED His Ancestors i secutlon Fled from In France. Per- Amazed at Chicago, He Promises to Boom the World's Fair In Fax-off Africa. A NOTABLE MAN.

"A grand project, grandly conceived, grandly carried out and destined to be a grand success." In this brief sentence the Hon. David Pieter de Villiers Graaff, while standing at the foot of one of the main trasses of the Liberal Arts and Manufactures Building one day last week! summed up his opinion of the exposition. Mr. Graaff is a notability not alone in the dominions under the flag of Great Britain, but that which is rarer, be is a prophet having honor in his own country. Although only 82 years of age, h9 is filling for the time the Mayoralty chair of the municipality of Cape Town, Cafie Colony, South Africa- Mr.

Graaff was born in Villiersdorp, South Africa, in 18G0. i He is a descendant of the Grasffs of Graaff-Reinet. The history of his family is quite a romance. Long before the massacre of St. Bartholomew, in France, the de Villiers family was one of the old st of La Hoc he lie.

Tbey wera Protestants, and seeing troublous days coming the old people bade their, four sons fly from the country so that any event the1 whole family should not be exterminated. The young men star ed, but at that point on their roud from which the last glimpse of the old home could bi had the youngest refused to go further, and returned to his parents. The next day these were massacred and the home reduced pits of smoking ruins. The three young men found their way to Holland, and theie set out, under tha- auspices of the Dutch Com pany, for Sou Africa. From one of these brothers is descended Sir Henry de Villiers.

the present Chiet Justice of Ca pe Colony, and from another Mr. Gran ft. 8X WAS BBOVJOBT I on his father's farm at Villiersdorp, receiv ing bis education at the co lege at Cape Town. His father had large herds of cattle and young Graaff was frequently in charge of the great drives. In this way he traveled ex tensively through the colony and became intimately familiar not alone with the coun ry and its resources, but also with the people.

Nearly 80 per cent of the population of the colony are of Dutch descent, and speak that language. They are the gieat farming and agricultural element, and for many years were practically deprived of ell voice in the management of affairs. To correct this state of things the Afrikaner Bond was formed about 1876. The object of the bond was the securing to these Dutch citizens due and proper representation. Previous to its-formation English was the only language in which peeches or debates could be made in the Colonial Legislature, and this one fact alone prevented many able citizen farmers, from holding office.

The bond reformed all this. To-day members may address the House either in Dutch or in English, the agricult urist is fully represented, and his voice and wishes are RXABXKSKD TO AVD BXaPSCTSD. Young Graaff rapjdly becime a very prom inent member of the bond while retaining a very high posi'ion among tha Engiisb. Shortly after attaining his majority he wn elected a Counci lor of the Municipality and a member of the Legislature. The Miyor elected annually by the councillors, and be fore be was 30 years old, by unanimous voice, this honor was conferred upon him.

Since that time be has been re-elected and kept in office. At the last election he stated his intention of makmg a protracted tour around tie world, and declined re-election on that ground. He was, nevetthelrss, again placed in the Mayor's chair end given leave of absence for six months. Before his departure a sp.enaia oanquet, the greatest in the history of the colony, was tendered him, at which Chief 4 UBtice Sir Henry de Villiers rweaiaed Mr. Graaff had been much interested in the news concerning the great exposition to be held in 1893, and made Chicago one of the mam objective points ot his voyage.

The reasons for his great popularity are to be found in his intensely active and progres sive spirit. He projected a vast scheme of improvement for Cape Town and succeeded in raising a loan of $300,000 to carry it into enecc THAWS IKPBOVKlCBjrrS OOMPBISS the general improvement of the alreadv mm nifieent hartjor of Cape Town, the utilisation of the 6.000.030 gallons of water that dailv fail-f rom Table Mountain for oewer to liuht ine whote city Dy electricity, the per fection of the drainage system, and the 4 cons' rue! ion of great storage ervoirs water. The importance of this last may be deduced from the fact that the amounts realized by the sale of water to vessels is sufficient to pay 6 per cent interest the total debt of the municip.ili'-y. He has also set on foot the building ot new mar kets, tha construction of a great seashore boulevard and pronvnade pier, toe reoaving toe Bcr-eers sou mo ouiwuug 01 a new own Hall and other public buildings. The old Town Hall, a go -a specimen of early Dutch architecture, built 140 years ago, will be used a museum.

He obtained from the colonial government the gift of the world-renowned botanic gardens to be a free park for the citizens of Cape Town forever. These are but some of the many improvements he hen carried into effect or has now in hand. 1 Sams laes of the importance of the late f- ests confided to this young man but he gathered frm the following The exports and imporis st Cape Town last year amounted to ever $100,000,000.

He spent nearly week in, Chicago, much of which time was devoted te careful s'udy of the exposition. Before JeavinB Chicago for London and the Cane be Una expressed himself: on the antisjent, no where indeed in all my ionri travel, nave seen anything so supremely uoportast to my country as the exposition to be held here in 1893.

I came here, not exactly indifferent but not more than i interested. Uoiay I am absolutely convinced that thecxposition is of incalculable value to us. We an we must and ws will show the world i how rest and rich and splendid a country are; Tms exposition is oua obsat orruiDMir. "We have never been apathetic.

And be sure of one thing, were a Chicagoen born I could not be more earn est or eloquent in setting forth the vastness, grandeur, and world-value or the exposition. Nowhere will it have a more zealous advocate than in me.

Some of the Prominent People from All Over the World Who Are In tha City. IN THE ROTUNDAS. To-day another Chicago hotel spreads wide its doors, sad wi a brand-new register commences to accommodate the great traveling public. It is the Victoria, located on the site once occupied by the Beeurivage apartment house at the northwest corner of Michigan avenue and Van Buren street. It is seven-story structure, facing east and south, and i's facade is relieved on both fronts by rows of bay win.

does, handsome entrances and ornamental pillars. In point of location i is considered perfect, and under its management will be one of the moat popular hotels in the West, Mr. J. M. Lee, its proprietor, is a man of pleasant address, who commenced his hotel career about twenty years ago in AUrnt- gomery, Ala.

He has since conduct! with success various hotels in Florida, including the famous Indian Biver at Hoc ledge, which he disposed of a year ago for $100,003. For the past eight months he has been managing partner in the Fountain Spring House at Waukesha, which partnership he still re tains. The asociate manager of the Victoria is E. A. Whipple, formerly of the Grand Facifio and Auditorium Hotels, one of the most popu lar men in Chicago.

The room clerks are Will Shafer and Walter Barnes, both very II known and very popular. J. W. Wbeaton and A. H.

Hilpert are cashiers, and John Kelly is night clerk. Mrs. A. F. Kirk is house-keeper.

dward Zola is bead waiter, George F. Segur is chef, and A. A. Vogel makes the pastry. All these people are well known rn hotel circles and their previous reputation insures the Victoria a good start-off, with every prospect of marvelous success.

Of course, everything in the Victoria ia new and handsome and unique. One idea which has been carried out is a good one, and that is in the furnishing and decorating of the rooms. Ho two are alike in tbeir wallpaper and carpets and this fact alone shows that the taste displayed in the fitting-out of the hotel is not of the ordinary, but original to a startling degree. The old custom of having everything alike has been departed from and the result is pleasing. The toam ont.

ance is from the center of the boulevard front, and opens into a corridor ten feat wide and lined with scagiiols, to a height of ten' feet. The mural decoration of this corridor is in colonial style. It leads direct to the rotunda, from the far side of which the clerks desk command the entrance, and a'so ladies' entrance from the boulevard thirty feet to the south of the main entrance. The rotunda is 40x80 feet in size, and is lined with scgliola, a material resembling iBasrMe. buteapabie ot a much higher polish.

In the ceiling is a dome-shaped skylight, 24 feet square at the base, from the center Of which depends a huge cluster of in.andeseent lights. xue meses cei ings are largely cov ered with gold leaf, contrasting with old ivory. Around about the rotunda are grouped the public rooms, with partitions only Vietveen the rooms all open to the rotunda.

To the left of the rotunda i-4 a spaeieus rading-ro im, decorated in the colonial style and having one window extending its entire length song the boulevard. Around this room is a d-ep wainscoting of the beautiful French marble known as St. Baume. The furniture of this room is all leather upbo'sfrred, as is also all the furniture in the public rooms surrounding the rotunda. To the left of this reading-room is the ladies' entrance from the boulevard, a beautiful corridor lined with Vic'oria red and black scaglioia.

There is also ladies' entrance on Van Buren street. This leads diroctly to the passenger elevators, as dors that from the boulevard. Directly inside the Van Bu en street entrance are a toilet room for ladies at the left and a ladies' to tLe right. This la ter room is said to be the prettiest in the houe. It is decorat in the colonial style.

The walls are in shades of lemon and yellow, and the furniture, in colonial patterns, is of mahogany and covered with striped gooia to mate i the walls. The corridor leading to the dining-room and rotunda has a paneled wainscoting of birch six feet high. The matu dining-room is 50x90 feet in re and charmingly decora'ed in the colonial style the walls, ceiling and riesos em bell- jishd with a tracery in pi srio relief and colored in sage grten and white.

The chairs are of handsome patterns and very costly.

All of them are upholstered in the famous hair-cloth just in troduced into the country, and used for the first time in a hotel in the New Holland House in New York. The ordinary is enst of the dining-room, and fronts on Van Buren a reei. It is forty feet square and is ap pointed and decorated in a manner similar to that of the diuing hall. The officers' dining nan is located east ox tne main dining-room. The bar-room and smoking-room are dec orated in Teunesseo marble, with oak wood work, and all the eppoimmenU throughout are pretty and novel.

All the latest improve ments are used in the View ria, and the 208 guest-rooms are fitted exquisitely and with all ran vonienct a. ine oasmenc is uevoiea to the working department, and the whole makes up an establishment that is perfect in aetsu, handsome in its lurnisbings, and complete and comfortable. Is Mr. William Cunningham here?" asked gent eman yesterday, as he stepped up to the Palmer register and gazed serosa it into the deep soulful eyes of Clerk Cunningham, sur-named "the urbane." With gentle smile, "the urbane" exam-ined the scbeluled list of guests, and with a ow bow and a suave manner, begged leave to most profoundly remark that no such person was msrked up. i The swed inquirer then produced a letter, addressed to the gentleman he had asked for, and like a flash, a smell, as of mice, was wafted to the rigbt place in Cunningham's The letter was for him and was from his old friend General Robert "Lee Grant, now of tne Grand Hotel, Cincinnati.

I'AGltS 9 TO 12. MAN THE THINKER. Professor Swing Speaks of the Infinity of Thought, -i MEASURED BY MORALITY. Man's Mind Improves with Pass', ingf Time. r' This Ago Is Waahlng White Many of the Old Accumulated Ideas.

HILUONt OF THOUOHTs. Professor Swing presched yesterday at Central Music Hall, his subject being "Mill. ions of He chose as his text -Wbataoever things are troa. Pkilippiami lr.fi, I hate vain thoughts. Ptalm exix-, 113.

He said: "It ia told of John Stuart Mill that he feared (he near approach of a time when the eight notes could assume no new relations snd new tun would be impossible -It was sadly affirmed by Jean de La Bruyere in the seventeenth century that no new. liters, ture of any value could ever come, all great and beautiful thoughts having been already uttered by the Greeks and Romans. Tue present can not but smile at the feais of these two arrest men, for now our distress comes) from the feeling that we can not live to hear all the new music that will yet be written, snd that we must die before ws have said all we desire to say to the world, and before we can hear all which the grt world would say to us in coming times. No doubt our times are more buoyant thin was the past. ACTIOS CMSATSS BfToyASCT.

It makes youth run far onward into life. To tbose who have sat ill for a long time the world irself beoomzs still. Hill and Bruyere weie not idle men but they were sad men, aud perhaps made their opinions out of their seriousueas, but ia agre oi little scuvity all hearts beat to dull time. "While astronomy has revealed the vastness of the physical world the mental world has been not step behind in making known i immensity. In the period since Galileo and Newton nebulae have turned Into stars snd the once little dug -star has been found to be a flamiug ball equal to twenty-five hundred suns such as tLe one we enjoy, but in the meanwhile the world of thought has grown more infinite.

Such men as Goethe, Schiller, Tyndall have come along by the troop until the roll of English literary authors alone of. fers more than seventy-five thousand. IHonj) OK ADD TO THBBB the truth-speakers of France, Germany, Spain, and Italy, one would begin to realize that it is not in the s'ar-depths alone we must look for our emblem of infinity. When the saint said 'Whatsoever things are be alluded to something which was to grow greater and greater in all future times, and wa to become amazing beyond all words by the time the niaet eath century-had come. The sues have pead up into the Hi, as and the thoughts ha- are true into billions and billions.

But the suns bave this advantage: They are enduring; tbey do not fade like a dewdrop. but of the millions and, millions of true and good thoughts many fade never to come back to the mind which sent them out. We tnight as well eipect the lisiag "simrks to come back to our Chris mas Are. Henry Ward Beecher often arose in the njzht to put down with a pencil some thought, some argument which be fee. red.

nofure nio'urng came, would have been a million miles away from his brain. BUr THOSX WHICH OO are not of tbs greatest value never being a principle, a law. a result but only some gem, lime ornament, some allusion, some memory of whtch Homer or Virgil bad-said. When a great truth comes to a roan he neel not get mo in the night to write it down. When it oc cur red to Galileo that the earth turned over once a day, ithr he nor the Pope bad to rise in tne dark, co mgnt to make a note of the idee.

The difflcul with both thinkers all centered in he question how to forget the troublesome thing. "What ia this strange action called thought or thinking It would seem to be the effort ef the human mind to master the infinite; the effort to catch up with the God who is running on in advance. Qears ago, millions or billions, the Deity moved across apace laying the mighty foundations of worlds and their contents. Thought is the effort of man 'to find where tbe Creator went and what He did. Man is 1 trying to think out infinity, and up to this date be has simply entered the field.

John Stuart Mill need not fear that humanity will soon find an end of these notes. The effort to see every flower, to learn into how many new roses the wild rose can be made to pass, how many kinds and co'ors of pigeons may come from the one wild dove, to mark bow many forms and figures the piss' ic sets may express, to note sll tbe forms snd co'ors of the sky and sea at mom and noon and eve, to study the principles of social life, tbe state and religion to exhaust that ideal realm in which dwell oil the Homers and Dantes nre ska J. which will lead man through infinity and make him fully need an endless life. UBtmsTAST MAOBT might for many years have been seen In -common ship taking here and there deep soundings in the earth's big ocean. This: month his ship was a speck in the South Sear long after, it waa a moving speck on the Pa- cific He waa attempting to find the truths ot the great deep.

That ship illustrates tbe movements of the intellectual human race. That race ia ass? rub led in a floating vessel and is to take soundings ia the infinite expanse. All science, all philoso phy, all public and private thought, are only the report of this large party of exploration. "Much of human thought is informal and destitute of eslims'es as to value. What may be called a valuable thought, broomee the truth of wisdom or beauty or pleasure.

Man's -tninking tends in one vast volui je toward wisdom or hsppinrss or beauty. Issuing from many fountainheads. these stresms sll flow toward a final unity. However may races there-may have been, they will all agree at in admiring tee spring blossoms and the tnrs of music, in ap, roving of honesty and brotherly love. I', is not to be expected that the search truth begin inharmooy and harmonious proce.

but it is to be ex- petred that the streams once separate will flow together somewuera as rills coming down' from thousand ravines in the mountains mingle in one Danubj or Amazon XV TUB PUTT AST PXA1X. How can one race or one century harm anise millions upon millions of thoughts, each thought hsving many- sides? The tern thinker implies that there is an enormous quantity of things un thought- Man, the 1 ork-r. implies that there is a oreat unfin ished task for if the works were all done man would not be a worker. The word sculptor means that there is marble not yet hewn and f. ideals not yet carved.

The name oomee from the existence of marble in the block. and from forms not yet expressed. Thus the word thinker means that there ia a rve yet -unexplored. All literature, that of the state, that of isligion, that of happiness, like wit ana numor. tost oi simple beauty, make up only a forward movement of the human race a ong an infinite path.

In some small details the inscriptions of o'd Egypt differ from the later writings of Greece, and thus by smalt departures the Latin thought differs from that of Athens, but ample note has been mads of all ths point i of difference, all the literatures of the whole world are united snd msks up tbs one utterance of ons people, aa utterance forever swelling i IB VOX-CMS ABD TBunyrjLjrBss.
