The dispatch in yesterday's Statesman from Washington the effect that of the four maneuvers be held at Austin caused no end of favorable comment in the city yesterday. This means that there will be in Austin during the months July, August and September brigade of regular troops, and for at least days of this time the entire militia Texas. Louisiana, New Mexico and Arizona. This matter has been hanging fire for some time and very little has been said about it.

Colonel John L. Peeler this city spent several weeks in Washington several months ago and the final decision on the of the war departpart ment to locate camp here is due largely to the intu hich Colonel Peeler brought to bear Ul the war de- partment.

He Was En Route to New York. Nathan Peritz, a prominent business man of Guatemala, Central America, a off who was taken the northbound International train in this city at midnight Saturday night in an unconscious condition, died yesterday morning at about 9 o'clock at the Seton infirmary without ever regaining consciousness. Dr. H. B.

Granberry, who attended Peritz, stated that his death was due to meningitis. The body was turned over to Rosengren's undertaking establishment and S. L. Peritz, father of the dead man, who is also a resident of Guatemala, was notified. While Peritz was a perfect stranger in this city and died without telling anything of himself or relatives, he was evidently a man of means.

He was a handsome man, of Spanish descent, and was about 38 or 40 years of age. He was well dressed, wore several diamonds and had about $400 in cash in his possession, besides two exchanges on New York and San Francisco for much larger sums. His professional card bore the firm name of S. L. Peritz Son and his private card and letters were addressed Nathan Peritz.

Peritz was traveling alone from Guatemala to New York, but had met up with a party from Mexico who were en route to New York preparatory to leaving for Europe. Dr. Granberry was notified by the conductor of the train from a station between San Antonio and Austin to meet the train, as there was a very ill man on it. Dr. Granberry was at the train when it arrived.

Peritz was unconscious at this time and Dr. Granberry ordered an ambulance and had him taken from the train to the Seton infirmary. The party Peritz had met on the train gave Dr. Granberry all the information they had as to who the man was and where he came from, as they had been told by him. According to their statement, Peritz had been detained in the regular quar.

antine in Mexico the required number of days and he was first taken ill upon reaching Laredo, From Laredo he came oll to San Antonio and stopped over there a short time for medical treatment. However, after leaving San Antonio he was taken seriously ill and it was then that Dr. Granberry was notified to meet the train upon its arrival, in this city. Dr. Granberry yesterday at noon cabled the father of the dead man for instructions as to the disposition of the body.

The remains are at present in the morgue at Rosengren's, V. O. Weed, funeral director and embalmer; Geo. A. Brewer, embalmer: Miss Lena Bishop, assistant.

SERVICES AT CHURCHES AS USUAL IMPRESSIVE Cold Weather in a Measure Caused the Attendance to Be Cut Somewhat Short Yesterday. The cold weather yesterday interfered with the attendance morning, churches. In all churches, however, the services were carried out as usual. Dr. Brigg's Sermon.

Regular services were held at the First Congregational church at 11 a. m. The cold, cloudy, threatening weather kept many away. It was the monthly communion service. The choir sang a very pretty anthem as an introductory, The hymns were hymns of consolation and of hope, and were entered into with spirit by the people.

Ag an offertory Dr. L. White sang a beautiful solo, "Abide With Me." His voice, pure and bell-like, filled the large auditorium, and the people listened 1 as those who know what great singing is and appreciate to the last degree. Dr. Briggs announced the social meeting of the Ladies' Aid society to take place at the home of Mrs.

"I know not where thine islands lift, Their fronded palms in air; I only know I can not drift, Beyond thy love and care." First Baptist Church. The First Baptist church had a good congregation yesterday morning. The music was up to its reputation and Mrs. George Brush, as usual, sang with much acceptance. Rev.

Dr. French's text was this: "Godly sorrow worketh repentance, a repentance which bringeth no regret; but the sorrow of the world which worketh death, II Corinthians, vii, 10. (Revised version.) After stating the circumstances under which the text was written, the minister said his object would be to differentiate the two kinds of sorrow referred to by the Apostle Paul. Consider some characteristic of godly sorrow which worketh repentance unto salvation. Godly sorrow is that which is approved by God.

It is such sorrow as will appropriately arise from viewing sin as God views it. As he is of purer eyes than to look upon sin, so we shall feel that we ought also to be when we view it as the cause of man's disobedience to God, which "brought death into the world and all our woe." It is further that which is exercised towards God. When sin is looked upon as committed against a kind, benignant and merciful Father, we are likely to undergo godly sorrow. It is such as his truth is fitted to produce, leading us to repent and regret and return to him. The apostle rejoiced, not that the Corinthians sorrowed, but that they sorrowed unto repentance.

which led to amendment of life and the forsaking of sin. But while we can not be saved without repentance It is also true that repentance does not save us. Faith is the saving exercise by which we are brought into union with Christ. By grace are ye saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Repentance prepares the heart for the exercise of faith.

Israel could not be saved in Canaan, the blessed, until she came Egypt, the accursed. So neither can the sinner be saved by Christ, the Holy One, until he comes es out of self, the sinful one. David, Simon, Peter and the all illustrate the thought with prodigal which we are dealing, and exercised godly sorrow which worketh repentance unto salvation--a repentance which bringetn no regret. Consider some characteristics of the sorrow of the world which, worketh death. It is that arises from the loss of properly, or friends, or life's trials.

Men see no possible hidden blessing in these things. They stoically philosophize about them, but never go beyond 1 to kiss the rod that smites them, Or repent for sing committed. It is sorrow also that relates to sin where it overwhelms the mind. In this day there numberless illustrations of this truth from the expoariarg sures of wrongdoing. It is also sorrow that arises from the worldly consequences that follow exposure.

In this case men think chiefly of their loss of caste of their blighted Anibitions, of their loss of position. It is the loss of what they valued as related to this world that they feel. There is no repentance toward God. Their sorrow begins in this world and terminates here. Pharoah, Balaam, Achan and Judas all illu3 this declaration.

All such sorrow works death--temporal death- -eternal death. There is looking to God. 110 repentance towards him. It bids to no haven beyond the skies, The future is lark, black, awful, and eternal night awaits those who show but the sorrow of the world. At the conclusion two new members were received, and at night several persons were baptized into the churea.

Second Street Baptist Church. Rev. Otis E. Carter returned Saturday from San Antonio, where he addressed the Baptist Young People's union and Sunday school convention of Southwest Texas, and filled his pulpit at the Second Street Baptist church both morning and evening yesterday: also at Hyde Park yesterday afternoon, He reported a splendid session of the young people's convention at San Antonio and left an invitation for that body to meet next year in Austin. Mr.

Carter's sermon yesterday mornIng was on "Personal Consecration" and his text, I Chron. xxix, 5: "Who is willing to consecrate his services this day unto the Lord." Following is an almost complete report of the sermon: The supreme need of our churches and individual life today is personal consecration. What we need more than anything else on earth is genuine, unalloyed consecration to God. How many are there whom you know who have completely and unreservedly themselves at the feet of Jesus? Look about among your friends and neighbors and fellow -how many have been sacrificed on the altar of God? Is it not a deeply lamentable fact that very few, far too few, have given themselves implicitly into the Lord's hands! Compare our secular interests with our spiritual affairs. See constantly devoted to cerns of the world and how they little devote themselves to God's work.

They push their business interests, to utter neglect of the spiritual, until latter is almost lost sight of. This is a terrible state of affairs. I would not discount diligence in business. Far from it. But compare men's attention to commercial interests with their spiritual consecration.

I who profess to love and serve Christ above all other things. Is dreadful thing? The political office seeker will compass heaven and earth to get votes the ballot box. He will push his claims into the rural places. Into the swamps, among all classes. 1,1 his zeal to win ballots.

Why doesn't he press the claims of Christ in a fashion Others will make rifice for their lodge or club. There are men in Austin who never fail attend their lodge meeting or club meeting, but on Sunday morning or Sunday night or Wednesday night the are attacked suddenly and with a distorted condition of their backs, or heads, or hearts; else are too tired or have an irresistible impulse to go to the country or attend to some minor duties. You men who hear and you men who read, is this not an awful thing? Is there not something radically and vitally wrong somewhere? Do vou love Christ? Don't say for you give it the lie by your demeanor. Here is our supreme need, my friends, Not greater numbers; some of our churches are loaded down with rotten material, good for nothing except fill a church pew on Sunday morning. Not better organization; we have thorough organization good choirs, sufficient Sunday school teachers and officers, efficient finance committees and things like these.

Neither do we need brilliancy and education. There is plenty of this, but it takes more than these things to make 2 Christian church. Ah, what we need is deeper and profounder than all these things and beside which these things are but as a tinkling cymbal 01 sounding brass. We want singleness of devotion to the word and work of the Lord. We need personal consecration.

Do you ask why? Why is consecration necessary? Why Is it so transcendently important? Let the Bible answer. It says: "Ye are the light of the world;" "let your light 80 shine that others, seeing your good works, may be constrained to glorify God." It belongs to the Christian the to light up unutterable darkness of the earth. If this old lost world is ever saved it must be saved by God's consolated children. "Ye are the salt of the earth and if the salt have lost its savor wherewith shall it be salted?" the Bible tells us that Again, we are living epistles by which Christ makes his love and blessings known. Men on the outside of the church and the kingdom read the fifth gospel.

The theme. "Life's Samarias, or Some Roads We All Travel, tunities and the OpporThey Bring." was in itself fruitful with the truths deduced from the text. The following is a synopsis of the sermon: The text is a cal necessity. Palestine statement of geographtis shut in by river and sea. From Galilee, the traveler must either Tudea pass to Samaria or cross the Jordan and go through the desert on the other side.

Jesus chose to pass through Sau maria, because it was the nearer route, and no doubt, for the opportunity it was to bring. The text likewise presents an illustration of great religious truths, which fit into every life. First--Every life must pass through certain places, periods or experiences, in order to peach its destination or power. Power comes through exporience and training. We are not with born training and experience, but with the capacity for them.

"First the blade. then the then the ear, full corn in the ear." Real sympathy is developed through personal trial and sorrow. lives, some rain must fall." "Into all Every soil has its deserts, its fallow ground, its fruitful places. If you reach the heavenly Jerusalem, you must pass through some Samaria. You will be weary, tempted, misunderstood and pessimistic.

But Jerusalem lies that way. Maybe this depressing experience came to you in college, in business, or in your first years absent from in a busy city. It is your home maria, and it may be the way of the cross. The same is true of nations and institutions. Japan and Russia have passed through Samaria.

Each is no doubt the better for it. Ireland has long been there. Egypt seems just emerging from its depths. Turkey has yet entered. The history of Amer.

ica has decades of trial and of opportunity. Likewise are these epochs found in institutions. The church of God sometimes seems shut in and fruitless. There are more martyrs than successes. "Institutions Inust have graves for their foundations." Second--There great experiences of life which lie in Samaria.

Fix your thought on the open doors, rather than the trying ordeals. (1) Jacob's well was in Samaria. No Jew could pass that way without historto memories. Here is Sychar, the well of Israel, a flashlight of Israel's history. Some see no significance in history.

Rev. L. L. Campbell. There is no eulogy that I could give that would add one whit to the 1 merit and worth of this great man.

But if I were only allowed 10 utter one sentence in which would be encouched the traits of character. the substrata of nobleness as is seen in the life of our subject. that sentence would be that Dr. Campbell is every inch man. A self sacrificing Christian man, who stands alone in the fear of God.

Not winding about at the suggestion of this policy or that policy neither quoting public sentiment, floating with the masses, nor listening to a seductive voice of corruption. But a man, a courageous man. that stands face to face with opposing error, grappling like a giant with the naked truth of things, whose highest aim and greatest efforts is to be a virtuous, honest and faithful man; true to himself, true to his fellowman and true to his God. The cause and race stands in dreadful need of a grand army of this class of men and fewer men whose immortal lives and debased characters prove a terror to the happiness of our homes and a millstone about our necks to pull us down when we would try to rise.
