The 1'aited Brethren church was
crowded at all services Sunday. At 11
o'clock the Masons arrived there in a
body, having marched from their hall in
the WhittaWer building. The sermon
was to properly observe St. John's day
and Rev. Adams chose as his text:
Mathew 3: I, 2 and his subject wis "Lite
and Character of St. Johu, the Baptist."
He spjke particularly of SI. John's
character as a man and as a preacher, also
the character of preaching and his
temptation, death and burial, Kev.
Adams is well known us a fine preacher
but Sunday his manner of delivering the
sermon could not have been better and
the sermon was one of the best ever
given in thi9 city. He held the closest
attention of the large audience through-
out the discourse.
In the evening Kev. Adams took as his
subject, "The Kind of People the
Preacher Wants." He put them in" five
classes, the spiritual, loyal, liberal, social
and active and showed that it was an
easy matter to belong to all of these
tlasses and that this was not only the
kind of people the preacher wanted but
the kind the world needs.
CUBAN DIARRHOEA.
u. S. soldiers who served in Cuba dur-
ing the Spanish war know what this dis-
ease is, and that ordinary remedies have
little more effect than so much water.
Cuban diarrheea is almost as severe and
dangerous as a mild attack of cholera.
There is one remedy, however, that can
always be depended upon as will be seen
by the following certificate from Mrs.
Minnie Jacobs of Houston, Texas: "I
hereby certify that Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured
my husband of a severe attack of Cuban
diarrhoea, which he brought home from
Cuba. We had several doctors but they
did him no good. One bottle of this rem
edy cured him. as our neighbors will tes-
tify. I thank) God for so valuable a
medicine." For sale by Owl drug store.

James Dalrymple, manager of the
municipal tramway system in Glas-
gow, Scotland, wlio will advise Mayor
Dunne of ChlciiKO on the municipal
ownership of street railroads, was In;
terviewed liy William T. Stead for the
New York American Just before he
saiici^ for the I nited Stales. When
asked to say 11 word or two about his
Chicago visit Mr. Dalryuiple replied:
"About ChicagoV What word can I
say V I know nothing about the city.
I have never even seen It. I have nev-
er crossed the Atlantic. This will b*
my tlrst visit lo America. But about
the Glasgow tramways I can say any-
thing you like."
"What is tJlmgow's opinion now of
the municipally operated trams after
ten years' experience?" asked Mr.
Stead. "H%s It been entirely satisfac
lory or has this practical test brought
many defects lo liglitV"
"You will find 110 two opinions about
Glasgow." he declared. "Our expe-
riences have conclusively proved toe
superiority of municipal trams over
those worked by the old company. We
have lowered fares, extended the dis-
tances for the fares charged, have Im-
proved the condition of the employees
and electrified the whole system and
still earn a handsome profit, which is
devoted to making the system more
efficient and of greater service to the
public."
"Does Glasgow's example throw any
light on how other cities can obtain
possession of their tram lines?"
"Glasgow In that respect was more
favorably placed than many other
cities," said Mr. Dalrymple. "The
tramways always have been the city's
property. Tbey were built with the
city's money, but In 1871 were leased
to a private company for twenty-three
years, with a clause, under an act of
parliament, which empowered the city
to work Its y tem if It failed to come
to terms with the company. Well, the
company, like all private Institutions,
waa more concerned as ta dividends
than as to the service given to the pub-
lic. Consequently there was much dls
satisfaction, ending In a popular move-
ment in favor of municipal ownership.
"The company's lease expired in Ju-
ly, 1894, and In 1802, after an election
fought os this issue, the city council
decided not to renew the grant, but to
provide Its own plant and equipment
and run Its own trams, not paying a
penny of compensation to the company.
This involved the city In an immense
\indertaklng. In one year It was oblig
ed to constmct the entire plant of thlr
ty-one miles of double track, including
depots, the stabling of 4.000 horses and
building of store and granary build-
ings.
"By the 1st of July everything was
completed and the cars were running
without k hitch. The result was that
much better cars were put on and the
fares were reduced 23 per cent, though
the old fares had been low. A one cent
fare was introduced and the distances
were greatly Increased. For a cent one
can now ride half a mile and for 2
cents almost two and a half miles. For
2 cents any inhabitant can reach the
suburbs, and for 3 he is able to reach
the country In nil directions."
"Have the tramways become more
popular?" '
"Indeed, yes. During the last year
of the company's operation it carried
54.000,000 persons. We now carry 200,-
000.000 passengers yearly, over 60 per
I cent of them for two cent fares. Con-
sequently the storekeepers and the
middle classes of |>eople can afford to
I live on the outskirts of the city, and
this is greatly benefiting the whole
city's heallh. We soon must extend
the city's boundaries to embrace the
overflow population."
"Has the reduction of fares affected
the revenue of the lines?"
"Yes." said Mr. Dalrymple, "it has
increased. Our experiences have been
that whenever we lowered fares the
receipts went up. The one cent fare
and the long distances covered by the
two cent fare together made the trains
Immensely popular. It Increased the
number of passengers, which has more
than compensated for lowered fares.'
"What alxnit the employees?" Mr.
Stead suggested. "Has their condition
Improved ?"
"We have been able to Increase
wages and In many ways to better
their lot. For instance, we present to
each man his uniform. This alone
costs the city £3,000 or £8,000 yearly.
"The electric system was substituted
for horsepower four years ago. We
adopted the overhead trolley system
with very satisfactory results. I think
I may say we have not had a single
person injured by wires breaking We
have the most efficient system of in
spectlon. Every night the whole sys
tem Is carefully examined, and all de
fects are immediately repaired."
"Have au.v profits I tee 11 devoted to
rate relief or to a system of Improve-
ment V'
"It Is the city's policy to spend all
the profits of the lines lii rendering the
service Itself better aud of greater
benefit anil convenience to the public.
This, I think. Is the right policy. We
could relieve t!:e city of part of Its
burden of taxes. hut I liel:eve the prof-
Its can best be used in improving the
entire system."
