The Pastor of a Fashionable New York
Church the Culprit. '
TWO SERMONS JUST ALIKE.
Dr. Morgan Admits the Plagiarism and
Tells “’11)! Re Did It——Another Min-
ister’s Strong Language to the
Self Confessed Offender.
NEW YORK, April 9. -—Rcv. Dr. D. Par-
ker Morgan, rector of the fashionable
Church of the Heavenly Best, in Fifth av‘
enue, near Fortysflfth street, delivered a
touching sermon last Sunday. Members
of his congregation vied with one another
in expressing their appreciation of it and
declared that it was one of the best he had
ever delivered.
011 Monday a verbatim report of almost
the entire sermon was published in several
newspapers from copy that be furnished.
It was read with great interest by many
’ theologians, among them Rev. T. J. Lee,
pastor of the First Reformed church of
Newark.
Mr. Lee had read only a few paragraphs
of the sermon as reported when he became
aware of the fact that the sentences and
thoughts expressed in it appeared familiar
to him.
Taking from a shelf in his library a
book published eight years ago and en-
titled, “Sormons Preached In the Church
of the First Religious Society In Roxbury,
by George Putnam, Minister of tho Soci~
ety,” he turned the pages until he reached
the eighth sermon in the book.
He placed Dr. Morgan’s sermon beside
the sermon in the book and found them
similar in language and thought from be-
ginning to end. Mr. Lee has long been
interested in the way famous ministers
prepare their sermons, and he prepared the
deadly parallel between the sermon as
written eight years ago and as it was de-
livered four days ago.
Not only were the sermons alike, but
the coincidence was also strengthened by
the fact that Dr. Morgan’s text was the
same as was Dr. Putnam’s.
Startling Similarity.
The similarity of the two sermons can
readily be seen in the opening paragraphs
of the two sermons here appended:
D11. MORGAN. rm. PUTNAM.

What need of such
haste?
Throughout the entire two sermons the
similarity of ideas is so great as to be strik-
ing, and it is continued from the first son-
tence to the last, which read-s:
My dear friends, let Let us take home the
us take back to our lesson. It is 11 very

about the cup of cold
water.
In another part of the sermon Dr. Mor-
gan quotes from Dr. Putnam’s sermon
and refers to the author of the passage as
“quaint old writer.” This aroused the
ire of the Newark clergyman, and the lat.
ter enters upon a tirade against the min-
ister Of an 11p to date congregation in n
metropolis who preaches one of the ser-
mons of “the quaint old writer” on the
most important Sunday of the year.
Dr. Lee’s Plain Remarks.
Mr. Lee advises Dr. Morgan in language
as direct as this: “If you haven‘t brains
enough to write a good sermon yourself,
go out. of the business. Better be an hon-
est tcaket-tle tinker than a dishonest ser-
mon tinker. However great may be the
temptation to pilfer, resist the devil—not;
the printer’s devil, but the other one—
when he calls out ‘more copy.’ ”
Dr. Morgan is about 50 years old and
has been connected with the New York
diocese and prominent. in its councils for
many years. He isa doctor of divinity
and several years ago was one of a com-
mittee appointed to determine whether
certain pulpit utterances of Rev. Dr.
Heber Newton of All Souls’ church were
heterodoxical and whether he should be
brought to trial for them.
Rev. T. J. Lee, who me as the charges
against Dr Morgan. is one of the leading
ministers in Newark and become promi-
nent some time ago when he called atten-
tion to the fact that. several pages of a
book of sermons on the Proverbs, pub-
lished by an eminent bishop, had been
plagiarized from a lecture delivered by a
plain clergy man.
When a repo1ter called at Rev. Dr. Mor-
gan’ 3 home at 3 East Forty- fifth street to-
day, a servant stated that he c5111] not be
seen by newspaper men. Dr. Morgan's
secretary made a statement for him in
which he acknowledged that he had made
use of Dr. Putnam’s sermon
"Dr. Morgan,” he said, “was so worn
out bythe hard labor attendant upon holy
week that he did not have time to prepare
an original Easter sermon, as has been his
custom. It was the first; time since he
entered the ministry that he made use of
another person’s production.
“The doctor read the sermon in Dr.
Putnam’s book very closelv and 1.1.9.. [11...

nished copies of it to ti: e newspaper-31$
was 11nd ~13: rod that oniv r1 summaw and
not- the 1- m-lrx 511: men sliould be printed. "
It. was state. that; Dr. Morgan was al-
most. overcome by the publicity given to
the affair, and ii. is believed that; he will
make a public apology to his congregation
next Sunday.
D1. Morgan's Pastorate.
Rev. Dr. Morgz‘ .n was born in Wales
and graluatcd at Oxford. He was assist-
ant. minister to Rev. Dr. Robert S. How-
land in this city until that noted divine’s
death. when Dr. Morgan succeeded him as
pastor of the Church of the Heavenly
Rest.
He is considered a conservative high
ohurchmsn, and under his rectorship the
services in the church have been very or-
nate. -
He has held many mission services un.
der the auspices of the Parochial Missions
Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church
and was recently chosen to deliver a lecture
to the divinity students of Colgate college
on May 21.
No church in the country perhaps, ex-
cepting Trinity, has as great wealth in
its congregation as the Heavenly Rest.
Among the members are F. W. Vanderbilt,
Cornelius Van‘dorbilt, H Walter Webb,
Anson Phelps Stokes, Dr. Seward Webb,
C. P. Huntington, Commodore Elbridge
'1‘. Gerry and Mrs. W. F. Cochrane.
Three years ago Dr. Morgan was suc-
cessful in clearing the church of a. debt of
$37,000, which had long been hanging
over the congregation.
The church of which he is pastor is sit-
uated at. 551 Fifth avenue, and is notable
among the churches of the city on account
of the many fashionable weddings which
take place in it. The interior of the
church contains some of the finest paint-
ings and carving in the country. Pol~
ished marble pillars support the roof, and
the richly frescoed walls are adorned with
the works of the finest artists, which con-
tribute to make it one of the handsomest
churches in the city.
Three years ago the health board of the
city voted to prosecute Dr. Morgan for
failing to record a marriage ceremony at
which he officiated, but the matter was
not pressed by the health officials after he
formally filed the certificate, insisting
that it was purely an oversight on his
part.
The Iowa. Cigarette Law.
DES MOINES, April 9. —In response to a
request from Governor Drake, Attorney
General Bernley has given an opinion on
the bill passed by the legislature forbid-
ding the sule or gift of cigarettes or ciga-
rette wrappers. The attorney general holds
that the passage of the bill was an exer-
cise of the police power of the state, and
that therefore the bill is constitutional.
He acknowledges, however, that it is a
debatable question Whether the act could
be made operative as against cigarettes
imported and sold in the original package.
Heavy Italian Losses.
MASSAUA, April 9. — Later advices
from the front show that the losses of the
Italians in the fighting which followed
the attack made upon the Italian native
battalion at Mount Mocran, near Kassala,
on April 2, were much more severe than
at first reported. It is now stated that the
Italians lost ten officers and 300 men. The
heaviest loss of the Italians was incurred
in the reconnoissance of Tuoruf, made by
Color r-l Stefani, during which he cap-
tured some of the forts.
Methodists In Conference.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, April 9.—The cen-
tennial session of the New England Meth-
odist conference opened at 2 o’clock this
afternoon in Asbury Methodist church
with a communion service, which lasted
about an hour. Nearly 200 clergyman
were present when Bishop Foss stepped in
front of the altar rail and opened the ses-
sion with prayer. He was assisted in ad-
ministering tho communion by Presiding
Elders Thorndyke, Knowles, Mansfield
and Eaton.
Government Not In It.
PITTSBURG, April 9.—-C0ncerning the
story published in New York that the gov-
ernment had formed a silent partnership
with the big steel trust, President Leish-
1mm of the Carnegie Steel company said:
“The statement is ridiculous, and shows.
ignorance of the steel business. Soft steel
does not enter into the composition of
armor plate, and the price of steel billets
could in no wise affect. the price of ar-
mor.”
Demonstration Against Us.
MADRID, April 9.—The students and
members of the national party here, as
well as the Republicangroups, are re-
ported to be organizing a demonstration

NEW YORK, April 9.——-Thero has been
another change in the plans of Richard
Mansfield, the actor. He had almost come
to terms with Daniel Frohman to manage
him when he suggested certain changes
in the plan. Mr. Frohman declined to
make these changes, and suggested that
the whole plan be given up. Mr. Mans-
field has accepted this suggestion.
lroker Midgely Acquitted.
NEW YORK, April 9.—— William E.
Midgely, former president of the Ameri-
can Casualty Insurance and Security com
pany, has been acquitted of the charge of
appropriating u check for $21,000 belong-

dence presented by the prosecution.

The Dervishcs Are Making Ready For
Stubborn Resistance. '
FORWARDING THE rabbis.
Great Anxiety Felt at Cairo For the Safety
of the Advance Guard—\Vhere the
First Serious Fighting Is Ex-
pected to Take Place.
CAIRO, April 9.—Each additional budg-
et of news from the front increases the
anxiety here in unofficial circles as to the
fate of the vanguard of the English Egyp-
tian forces operating up the Nile. The
news of the movement of the troops south-
ward has spread with the wonderful rapid-
ity heretofore noticed as one of the fea tures
of campaigning: ’n the Sudan. While the
British intelligence department experi-
ences the greatest difficulty in obtaining
information regarding the movements of
the dervishes, the latter succeed in trans-
mitting important news with rapidity
from any part of the country to the other.
The departure of pilgrims for Mecca has
been suspended, indicating that the holy
war is to be pushed with all the energy of
the dervisb leaders.
The caliph has decreed that the tribes
immediately collect and forward to Om-
durman a heavy war-tax; that the pick of ’
the warriors be hurried to that camp, and -’
that all preparations be made for a long
campaign. He expects, according to cur-
rent reports, to muster an army of 50,000
men, composed of the best fighting men of
the Sudan, at Omdurman by September,
'when the English Egyptian advancewill
be met by the caliph in person.’ He has
recalled the dervish armies from Fashoda
and Darfur and even the dervishes before
Kassala, it is expected, may be utilized
later at Khartum and Dongola.
The caliph, writing to the sheik of As.
suan, under date of last. December, said
that he was always ready to submit to the
authority of the khedive of Egypt, as the
representative of the sultan, but that he
would “resist to the death any.expedition
coming from Egypt, so long as the British
occupy the country.” In concluding his
letter he said, “I am aware that the Brit-
ish desire to have me assassinated, but 1
have taken precautions that. none of the
European prisoners shall survive my
murder.”
The Base of Operations. -
Though Wady-Halfn is really the base of
the Anglo-Egyptian operations, it is at
Akasheh. a. place of little importance,
about 90 miles south of Wady-Halfa, that '
the light railroad is being pushed forward
for the conveyance of men, supplies, etc.,
and there the first fighting will probably
occur. for telegraph communication with
the vanguard occupying Akasheh has
been twice out off by small, straggling
parties of dervishcs, and the latter me
believed to be gathering in force at the
vicinity of that place. Akasheh was on-
cupied by a. small column of troops, under
Major Collinson, without opposition, on
March 20, and from that time on re-en-
forcements and stores have been pushed
forward by rail where possible and by
river boats when the railroad could not be
used. It is now being strongly fortified,
and a large camp is being marked out
and arranged for the occupation of the
troops moving southward.
The sirdar of the Anglo-Egyptian army,
Sir Herbert Kitchener, now in command
of the operations, is young and thorough-
ly familiar with the methods Of the Sn-
danese and has the full confidence of those
serving under him. It is expected that
the British war office, howover, will re-
place him in command of the troops by an
older officer. one more experienced in the
handling of large bodies of troops, before
the real advance on Dongola begins.
The British troops which will take part
in the advance on Dongola will, it is ex-
pected, number about 5,000 men, together
with about 15,000 Egyptian trained troops
led by British officers. The purely Brit-
ish force will probably consist of the Sec-
ond Connauaht rangers, the First Glouces-
tershire, the First North Staffordshire,
a detachment of the Royal engineers, two
or three batteries of the Royal artillery,
:1. camel corps of British cavalrymen and
the Second Dragoon guards. Colonel
Hunter is in command at Wady-Haifa,
General Knowles and Major General Hen-
derson command at Alexandria, and other
British officers of rank are' now on their
way there to assume commands.
Egyptian Tro‘ops Arriving.
Two battalions of the North Stafiord‘
shire regiment are already at Wady-Halfa,
where there are about 8,000 Egyptian
troops and more arriving every day. The
work of dispatching troops to the front is
carried on in an admirable manner. with-
out a hitch of any kind.‘ Just after the
movement southward was ordered 5,000
men, thoroughly equipped in every respect
for a long campaign, were sent out from
this city in about seven days. They were
previously reviewed by the khedive. The
work of Gordon Bey, who in charge of the
citadel had the furnishing, equipping and
transporting of these troops, has been
greatly commended. The employees of the
citadel have been working night and day
since military operations were decided
upon and have turned out so far more
than 7,000 pack saddles for camels.
Some idea of the activity with which
troops and supplies are being sent south-
ward can be gathered from the statement
that the Messrs. Cook, who have contract-
ed to do this work, recently conveyed 2,500
men, fully armed and equipped, by steam-
ers and barges from Balliana to Assuan, a
distance of 300 miles, between 4 o’clock
on Saturday afternoon and 6 o’clock the
next Monday morning.
Major H. A. Macdonald will soon re-
lieve Colonel Hunter of the command at
Akasheh in order that. the latter may re-
turn to Wady-Halfa for a short time.
A strong volunteer camel corps is being
formed among recruits picked up among
the tribes of friendly sheiks, and it will
prove a very valuable body for scouting
purposes. The camel corps at- Wady- Haifa
is now over 1, 000 strong and there is a
strong force of cavalry and artillery at the
same place. Scouting is being carried on
night and day about Akasheh and other
threatened places and the intelligence de-
partment is kept busy sending out spies
and receiving the incoming reports. The
distance up the Nile via Sarras and Gin-
nis to Bannock, near the third cataract, is
about 180 miles and from Hanneck past
Old and New Dongola to Debbeh (Dongo-
la) is about 120 miles more, say 300 miles
in all. Berber, by the desert route, is
about 200 miles from Debbeh and from
Berber to Khartum, near Omdurman, is
