Iran iiRnun I } * Career of I f 1 ,|r Seven Day (I f ciflxlon of (| Run a Ne lv/.'.v.v.v.w Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, whose attempt to run a Topeka newspaper as uhrlst would, has attracted widespread attention and is a most interesting personality. He might be preaching to ?reat audiences in a rich church, he might be making an immense fortune 3imply by collecting royalties on books whose editions ruu into the millions of :opies, or he might be on the lecture platform receiving the plaudits of the people of great cities, but he is content to remain pastor of a modest church In Topeka and do his work as be did it before his name became known in many lands. Here is the story of his career: He was born In Wellsville, N. Y., in 1857. SVhile he was still a very small boy tils parents removed to Dakota. His father was a minister who farmed weekdays and preached in a little ;hurch on Sunday. The Sheldon farm was just outside of Yankton, and there the man who was to write "Robert Hardy's Seven Days," "In His Steps" ind "The Crucifixion of Philip Strong" spent most of his boyhood. It was farm work which built up the broad shoulders and developed the muscular limbs of the man who has become the foremost of religious authors. As a boy Mr. Sheldon went to school In Yankton. Even at that time he had THE REV. CHARI begun to write stories. They were printed in the local paper, some of them. "And they were just as good," says his father, "as those he writes now." As his father was anxious for him to become a minister, the young man went east and entered Phillips academy, Andover, Mass., where thousands of theological students are trained. Later he took a course at Brown university and then returned to the Andover Theological seminary. After a summer in Europe he entered the ministry and began preaching in Waterbury. Vt. But the spirit of the west was in him, so when he received a call to become the pastor of the uewlv established Central Congregational church, in Topeka. in 1SSS, he gladly accepted it as the opening he had been waiting for. Most men would not have thought the outlook an Inviting oue. The little congregation of GO had no church building. but held services in a dingy little hall over a grocery store. But he went to work with a will. As a result of his energetic methods the little hall was soon abandoned and a substantial stone church erected. The congregation was increased to GOO. It was not a rich or fashionable congregation, nor is it today, but it Is very much alive. Early in his pastorate Mr. Sheldon began to employ strikingly original methods. He was not satisfied with the kind of work usually done by ministers. He wanted to know what Ideas the masses of the people had on the subject of Christianity, and he wanted to find out about their daily lives and occupations. With this desire in his heart he asked his congregation to excuse him from pastoral work for three months, and his congregation saw little of him except during church services. He was at home scarcely any of the time, but very few people knew what he was do v.v.'.v.v.v.y*?

It was characteristic of the man. , He was "getting acquainted." Topeka is the headquarters of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. Hundreds of men are employed in the railroad shops, and hundreds of ' trainmen make their headquarters j there. It was among these that Mr. Sheldon spent much of his time. He obtained an employee's pass from J the railroad -company, and, dressed as ' an employee, he made trips up and ! down the road in company with the ' trainmen, learning their ways and ] drawing out their ideas on every conceivable subject, especially on religion. [ After that he spent a week or two ' with the physicians of Topeka, studying them. He read their books and 1 visited their patients with them. An- ' other week was spent with the law- ( yers in their offices and In court. In the hard times of 1S93 Mr. Shel- ' don received many applications for aid from persons who were out of employ- J ment. He determined to find out for himself whether or not employment ( could be secured by a common laborer, and, putting on a suit of clothes, he s started out in search of it. Every one ' who ever employed labor received a ' call from him. but he was invariably 1 turned away with the information that ( no laborers were needed. On the fol- I lowing Sunday he related hi9 experi- ' ences, and the people of Topeka awoke i i: ( ,ES M. SHELDON. ] to the fact that an unusual sort of | preacher was among them. Then he wrote his stories?those y which preceded "In His Steps"?and t read them from the pulpit, one Install- ^ meut at a time, instead of delivering ^ 6ermons. He interested his congregatlon in his plan to regenerate "Tennes- ( seetown." one of the squalid suburbs j of Topeka. s Such is the outline of the career which has brought him fame. He is a j hard worker and lives modestly. He fi has a wife and one child, a boy of 2 years. His father also lives near him in ^ Topeka and helps him with his work. Although Mr. Sheldon has written a dozen books, he is known best as the j author of "In His Steps." The work was not copyrighted in England, and P 20 publishing houses there are still is- . suing editions. It has been translated , into French, German. Russian. Italian. !j Armenian. Swedish. Norwegian, Span- ' lsli and dialects of western Africa. Mr. Sheldon is by nature a retiring man ' and almost dreads notoriety. When ' told that the people who read his books would like to know about the author, " he said: "That is mere idle curiosity. J I do not wish to be talked about or to have my church work talked about. ^ The message I have for these people ' among whom I live I give in my ser- a mons. The message I have for the s world at large I give in my books. I ^ have nothing more to say." f Although he avoids notoriety, he is c willing to speak when an opportunity e presents itself to further the cause of ) religion or humanity. He believes In 1 municipal ownership of public utilities ^ and has studied the subject at home 0 and abroad. He affiliates with no po- a lltical party, but in local campaigns I' has made speeches in favor of public t ownership. He believes that water, h heat and light plants, together with street car lines, should be operated by 3 cities. t ijitiscrilancous grading. ;j; ? uii IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. tr: Pt Summary of the News That lis Being Pub- Kb lUhed by Exchanges. *'Q CLEVELAND?The Shelby Aurora, H1 May 9: The Negro prisoner iu Lhe a.u jounty jail who was sent to the deten:iou house as a smallpox subject, has ro seen examined hy County Physician v*' Palmer, who pronounces the case not smallpox.

ARMOR PLATE WORTHLESS. vnl Officer Invents a Shell That Will Penetrate the Best of It. Some facts almost startling iu their portance were laid before the senate tesday iu executive session, says a asbiugtou dispatch. They related, is understood, to the invention of a ell by a promiueut officer of the lited States navy?a shell superior every essential quality to any now use by this or any other government, ie quality of penetratiou possessed the shell is said to be so great that armor now manufactured in the tiled States or abroad has sufficient listance to withstand it. The facts, which were in possession ouly a few senators, were deemed so portant that the senate decided to jsider them in secret. Today, after the naval bill bad been d aside for the day, Mr. Tillman ced for a secret session in order that might explain to the senate why he sired the armor plate matter to be icussed in secret. VVbeu the doors were closed he exlined that several days ago he had ered a resolution calling upon the iretary of the uavy to send to the late for its information, the details of its made by the department's offi Is of armor plate at Indian Head. ? answer to that inquiry has been reved, and in all human probability ue will ever be received. [t seems that Mr. Tillman called at i navy department aud was iuformed it it was unwise at this time to make blic the details of the tests he had ced for, as it would place in the nds, not only of the seuate, but of jresentati ves of foreign governments, at properly belonged exclusively to i United States. He was informed it Admiral O'Neil, chief of the burn of ordnance, had been conduct; for several months a series of 1 nor tests at Indian Head, the results which were very remarkable. A jminent official of the uavy departnt said, it is understood, that the , t of all kinds of armor, including \ > Krupp armor, had been made with , iew to ascertaining their effective;s against a new shell that had bean Invented by un officer of the navy, No of armor Hubrailted to the t?* ?!., it Im understood, was able to wlthataiid the teat. The shell, fired from high power guns, penetrated the armor almost hm bullets from a KragJorgermen rifle would penetrate green wood, the dill'erence being the armor platen split from point of impact. It in mm id that thin whh true of theKrupp armor as well aa of other armor tested. The ahell which waa ho effective was not described ; indeed, the navy department ia guarding jealously all details concerning its construction. The argument of Mr. Tillman is that with such a projectile in the possession of the government, that sooner or later will become known to other irnvcrnm?nlfi. it would not he the nart of wisdom for the congress to enter into contracts to purchase the high priced armor, unless it could be so improved so as to resist projectiles of the kiud used at Indian Head. Feeling that more or less of the matter concerning the tests recently made by the government would be used in the debate upon the armor question, Mr. Tillman suggested that it would bo desirable to consider the subject in ? secret. The senate agreed with bim, and the armor plate matter was discussed behind closed doors. TAKE COUGH EASE, 25 CENTS A BOTTLE. YORK DRUG STORE. CAROLINA & NORTH-VESTEER RAILWAY COMPANY.
