HOW TO REACH THE MASSES AND
OVIERCOME THE SALOON.
Chicago Mex lmdist Ministers are Addressed
By Miss Jane Addams, “’ho Advise.
Changed Methods for Changed Candi.
tions in Church-\Vork.
The Methodist ministers of Chicagt
lisrened to an address the other day
"by Miss Jane Addams, of Hull House
the well—known social settlement 02
that city. In their invitation to her
- they requcsred her to say plainly what
in her opinion, aré' some of the defects
in'the working machinery of th.
churches, and she did so. There on
two things, she declared, which con
tribute to the lack of success of tin
Protestant churches among ti}.-
masses. The first is that they have
not had the wistm to adapt their
methods to the special needs of the
city. With some notable .exceptions,
they retain the system that has been
successful in suburban and rural com»
munities. In the country town the
church is a sort of social center. Its
stated services and social gatherings
therefore, appeal powerfully to many.
people who do not care greatly for re
ligion in the abstract. But in tin
cities :1 different state of affairs exists.
The church must compete with then
tres, music halls, ‘bcnefit societies
fraternities and social organizations
of every kind. And it simply cannot
do so if it restricts itself to the usuu?
Sunday services and the weekly
prayr-meeting. To‘ga-in the maSses
of the people who are profoundly in
different to its spiritual message i'
must make some provisions for theii
social cravings, not only by giving
more tone and color to the regular
services, but by giving to them sucl'
social recreation as they find in tin-
theatres and dance hall.
It is a mistake, Miss Addams says
to denounce the theatres as wholly
had. She has found the cheap people's
theatres of the Ninetenth Ward
where Hull House is situated. on
moral rather than immoral. They
rely for their effects on such lll('lO
dramatic incidents as the blowing 111.
of a steamboat or a raid of paintec
Indians. It is all very lurid and im
possible, but it is not nearly so dclet
erous as a fashionable play which has
for its motive some unclean story 01
domestic life. “I would not,” she (le
cl-a'res, “make the church a theatre
but you have got to teach morals and
ethics along more attractive lines. 1
believe if Christ came to the eartl
to work again and H
steeple or the written sermon or the
music and singing needed changing
He would not hesitate to change it. ii
by so doing he could reach men. The
saloons are doubtless an evil, and I'm:
not a friend of them; yet they do sup
ply a great deal of unimpeded, unstilt-
ed good-felowship. The young mei
and women who work in our churches
so often make' their friendship un'
natural and give it a professional air
The people detect this readily and re
sent it.”
The second reason, in her opinion.
why the Churches often fail to reach
the people is that it does not sumcienit
ly try to understand the point of view
of the workingman, who feels himseli
to be the under dog in the battle 01
life. The pressing problem with mil-
lions of workingmen is not how they
shall save their souls, so that they may
play on harps in heaven, but how tc
make their present condition a little
less smarting—how to get a little morr
physical and mental comfort out 0i
life. It would be a revelation to many
optimistic preachers if they could at-
tend a few meetings of labor unions,
or some gatherings of Anarchists and
Socialists, and hear just what these
men have to say. It will not'do tc
dismiss the grievances of such men as
absurd. They are human beings, and
from the point of view of the Church
they have souls to be saved. It may
be that they ought to go to the stated
services of the church; and doubtless
if they did, they would learn much
that would help them. But they Will
not do that, and many of them look
on the Church as the tool of “cap
italism.” Under these circumstances
it behooves the Church to go to them
and in a patient and ,sympathetit
spirit shew them how truly the re
ligion of the Carpenter’s Son desire:
to improve their condition. ' ’
It is interesting to know that the
Methodist ministers received these
somewhat radical suggestions in good
part. A few criticised Miss Addams’s-
position, and made a plea for the
preaching of “the old-fashioned Gos-
pel in the old-fashioned way.” But
' the Rev. Dr. Cady appeared to carry
the majority with him when he said.
I believe all Miss Addams said oi
us is true and more. I believe the
church is not reaching the masses.
Only last week I stood watching a
crowd of men building a sewer near
my church. I- wanted to reach them,
but I couldn‘t. It seems as if a great
wall was built between myself and
' the men in the ditch. We as a church -
are not reaching the people. There is
more brotherhood in the saloon and
the theatre and the mutual . benefit
society, and I mean to try to have a
, brotherhood spirit in my church,
Mrs. Fyll'e's Rebellion.
While he was Secretary of the Navy
William E. Chandler issued on order
that officers should not permit theii
wives to reside at foreign stations to
which their husbands were attached.
The order was promptly reciuded up
on the receipt by the secretary of the
following from Commodore Fyfl‘e, in
command of the Asiatic squadron: “ll
becomes my painful duty to report
that my wife, Eliza Fyffe, has, in dis
obedience to my orders, and in the face

NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Extravagant garnitures and lovely
accessories of every description which
the beauty of my
lady’s toilette are now displayed in all
the large establishments and shops
Elaborate fichus, collets. stocks, tics.
belts and girdles are set forth in tempt-
ing array, and stony hearted indeed.
must be the woman who can pass these
dainty trifies by without a oualm of
envy, for in the end it iscertainly these
little details which makes the real
beauty of a. finished toilette.
Among the novelties are rich and
unique buckles and buttons. in costly
metals oftentimes studded with prec-
ious stones, while priceless lace and
”exquisitely jeweled embroidery is seen
on many of the handsome gowns re-
cently imported.
The variety and beauty of the neck
fixings is especially noticeable, and as
even the severe tailor made gown now
boasts a fluffy neck trimming of some.
description, these charming additions
to the toilette are much in demand.
The shoulder capes and collarettes are
especially attractive and are really in-
dispensable to every'feminine ward- .
robe in that they may be donnedat a
moment‘s notice and give an air of
style and finish to the plainest frock.
Every variety of material from the
filmiest chiffon and lace to the richest
and most expensive fur is employed in
the making of these adornments. Many
of the models just cover the shoulders
and are usually made with a tiny
square or round yoke, with an attached
{lounce often of a contrasting color and
material, a lovely model being car-
ried out in Persian lamb and silver
fox. A high Medici collar and stole
ends reaching to the waist line, gave a.
chic appearance to this particular col-
let. Stole ends, by the way, are ex-
tensively employed on these little
capes, especially those designed for
evening, and are either of the‘mate‘i‘ial
composing the cape. or of broad bands
of velvet or satin ribbon.
A novelty in stock collars is made
of tucked velvet or satin, shaped on
either side to extend in points just
beneath the ears, with a fetching bow
in front of pleated chiffon of the same
shade an: the stock. They come in all
the newest shades and brighten up an
otherwise dingy frock in a wonderful
manner, especially if a girdle to match
is worn. .
Large lace collars and scarfs falling
over the shoulders and tied in front to
form long fichu ends is a pretty fash-
ion and a decidedly popular one. These
scarfs are in many cases bordered all
round with applications of fine lave,
tied in a careless knot directly in the
front, with the long ends wider at the
bottom reaching almost to the foot‘ot
the shirt.
The boa which still retains a. promi-
nent place in the feminine fancy and
will undoubtedly remain in favor while
women continue to muffle up their
necks, are shown in great variety.
Fluffy ostrich feathers compose many
of them. while others are made of chif-
fon or tulle, ruched so thickly as to be
fully as wide as a feather boa.
Four in hands, made of heavy dou-
ble faced satin ribbon, combined with
rich lace and brought twice around the
neck. is a. popular. fancy and is often an
accompaniment of the tailor-made
frock. Fur and velvet are also com-
bined inthese ties, one recently seen
of rich violet velvet, with pointed ends
and cross piece of narrow fur, making
a pretty adornment.
Another fad is the fluffy tie of soft
black chiffon. which has superseded the
dainty white one which was so high in
favor during the warm summer
months. In gloves for dressy wear
biscuit colored suede is the most up-to-
date style, and for morning or business
wear glace gloves in all the reddish
and brown shades are in good taste.
While columns could be written on
the subject of dress accessories a few
words must be said of the lovely cos-
tumes themselves, especially of a hand-
some model exhibited by a‘fashionabie
courturiere and intended for a swell
patron.
Royal blue mottled velvet was the
material employed. with yoke and vest
of antique satin. The skirt, made with
‘a. long ov‘erskirt, slashed at the bot-
tom, was cut with a. seam down the
center and one on each side. The
overskirt was very close fitting around
the hips and back "and fastened in the
center of the back.
edover .a. foundation skirt of Royal
blue taffeta, to which was attached the
flounce of velvet. Stitched velvet
bands outlined the overskirt and
, adorned the corsage and close fitting
sleeves. A band of Persian embroid-
ery formed the garniture on the yoke. ‘
A fetching little turban of Royal blue
velvet and straw, with a bow of velvet
resting on the hair diredly in the
front, and trimmed with satin and
wings, completed this dressy toilette.
Not Satisfactory to Everyone. .
People who are in a position to pro-
phesy say that the gowns which but-
ton, hook, or lace over the tournour in
the perfectly plain way, shown on new
gowns, are not going to be Worn as
much as was thought. To wear one,
a woman requires a. perfectly fashion-
able figure, and when the women who
have not tried the plain backed gowns .
see how ugly their friends look in
them, they will not sacrifice themselves
even on the altar of fashion. Gowns
with a few plaits, though almost in-
visible to the back, are most satisfac-
tory. The Princess effect is to be
seen in many gowns, but it is fre-
quentlythe effect and not the genuine
Princess cut, the absolute severity of
which is trying. A gown having waist
and skirts separate, and a simple cord
finish at the waist line, has the plain
effect, but the lines below the waist
I can be better managed.

The Military Cloak.
New traveling wraps for lengthy
journeys are military cloaks, quite as
long as an ulster, to be Worn with or
without a cape. The fronts are” semi-
loose, and the backs fitted and some-
times belted. ,Many of these wraps
are made of army-blue cloth, andt‘ne
fronts are fastened with medium-sized
gilt buttons. The deep cape is fast‘
ened by and trimmed with stitched
straps of the cloth and is alone a suffi-
cient wrap for many occasions. Check-
ed and striped .cloths, lightly and
roughly woven, and otners of dark
color and finer grain, said to be abso-
lutely waterproof, are made in radio--
gote style, much after the fashion of
coachmen’s coats, with and without
shoulder-capes, and will be used for
traveling and morning walks.
-A PHYSICIAN’S ENIlllllSEMENT.
We are very glad to learn that some of the
- best doctors in the country are agreeing with
us as to the great efficacy of Vinol. *The fol.
lowing is an extract from a. letter written by
W. H. Currier, M. D., of Pittsfleld, Mass.
He says :— 1
“I wish you could know how highly I en-
dorse Vinol. I have had ample time since
Vino! was first brought to my attention to
notice the gratifying results that were ob-
tained by. its use. I think that all that is
necessary for you to do is to have physicians
throughout the land fully understand the com-
position of Vinol, and in my opinion there
will not be a single conscientious doctor alive
who will not prescribe it and endorse it as
highly as I have.”
’l‘h fact tha Vinol, the great modern tonlc‘
reconstructor contains all the active curative
principles 01 the cod’s liver and has a. most
delicious taste, accounts for its great popu-
arity. Your: very truly,
Special Vinol representative.
