T. De Witt Talmage
Recives a Rebuke,
Capt W. G. Chaffee of Aiken
Criticises the Divine.
Aiken, S. C., Dec ll, 1899.
To the Editor of The State : I
beg that you wi!1? give me space for
the enclosed.article, which explains
itself I offered it to the New York
World gratis bat they refused to
allow me to criticise one of their
contributors through their columns.
Yours very truly,
W. G Chaffee.
Angosta, Ga., Oct lTth, 1899.
Editor New York World: In
your issue of Sunday, Oct 15, on
page 20, under the general head of
Editorial Forum,-' there appears an
article entitled as follows : "My
Full Blooded Cow, by T. De Witt
Talmage, the most popular orator io
America," io which ?hat world
renowned divine has contributed a
humorous account of the ludicrous
actions of a cow purchased by him
at a public sale. Of the several
million readers of your popular Sun
day edition, doubtless there were few
who did oot read this article before
any other on the page. There were
probably few who did not share with
my amazement that, after dismissing
with a paragraph the heart-rending
circumstances under which he be
came possessed of the cow, that the
eminent doctor of divinity could
have had the heart to weave a funny
story concerning a few erratic move
men ts of the animal. I beg, there?
fore, in behalf of the admirers of
this great man, aod for the informa?
tion of your readers in every nook
and corner of this great country, a
little space in your columns for a few
questions, for Dr Talmage, and some
abservatioos concerning his article
Do you know. Doctor, that ser?
mons and lectures are read in every
hamlet, as well as great city, in
America ; that, in the remotest and
quaintest rural districts, many an
honest old farmer, when his day's
work is done, pots OD his iron rim
mid "specs*' aod reads to bis faithful
old wife, from his little county news?
paper, oae of your sermons, filled
with lofty appeals to charity, bright
pictures of the love of God and good
will to meo ?
If so, I beg you to say to the
several millions who have read your
article, if you really were, as you
write, a spectator of the scene you
describe as follows :
"The mau had not been able to pay
his debts The mortgage on the
farm had been foreclosed The day
of sale had come. The sheriff stood (
ou a box reading the terms of ven
due. All payments to be made in ?
six months. The auctioneer took his
place The oid man and bis wife aid j
children all cried, and the piano and
the chairs, and the pictures, and the ,
carpels, and the bedsteads went at
half their worth When the piano
went it seemed to the old people aa j
if the sheriff were seihng all the
fingers that bad ever played on it, ,
and whet: the carpets were struck off
I think the father and mother thought
of the tittie feet that had tramped
it
"But to 03 the auction reached its
climax of interest when we (himself ,
and wife) went to the barn. We
were spending our summers in the
country and must have a cow
There were IO or 15 to be sold
We rnaiked for our own a cow that
was said to be full blooded, whether
Aidemay or Durham, or Galloway or
Ayrshire 1 will not teli, lest some
cattle fancier feel inputted by what I
say, and if there is any grace that
I pride myself on it is prudence and
a determination to say smooth
things
" How tnuoc ia bid for rh:s magotfi

ao^ti^neer. 'Seventy five cellars,1

Taicatge bas it.' " eic.
Dri reahz?. docker, that your pride j
'to say ?-mooth tbingb" has for ones, at
Jea?t, led yo*a astray, and that, instead
of produoiog a hucoo-ous story, you
hav2 iodoiged io a piece of heartless
faceriousoess, which is a stab direst at
the faith you teach ; that it bas caused
some to doubt the siocerity of the
clergy, many more to doubt your ?
iodividoai siocerity ?
Do you really believe ia the great
truths you so ably expoaod, or are you
but dispensing spiritual pap in exchange
for a large salary and beautiful home ?
Is it possible that you have stood in the
sanotuary preaching love to all mankind
and did not weep with that poor mao,
his wife aod children, whom the hard
hao? of tbe mooey lender had strickeo
with ruin ?
Io tbe came of Holy charity, ti
when you saw toa piano, tba chai,
bi? other rtnalt household posse
going at haif their worth, why dil
cor. out of your abundance, oo
thc rescue of that uofortuuate I
man like the good Samaritan, inst?
standicg aloof like tbe L?vite ao<
even reaching your "climax of
est" until the time came for the sa
the wretched man's cow, for whicJ
glibly gave your note at six mcntt
one hundred and fifty dollars ?
If yon did nor feel able persona
aid old age in misery, why did yoi
give your note for ail toe ca
demanded and tell toa good worn?
your congregation what you had
aod enlist tba tender charity of wi
to bring to one broken family "th
of joy for weeping ?"
Did you for one moment eon
that the pitiful "Lares and Pent
of these old people, whose frail I
of life were fast sailing down ioti
regions of the setting sun, wer
dear to them as any of the
"articles of vertu'* in your own ?
rious home ; that their tears welled
from broken hearts at the saoriSc
the scanty accumulations of a Iii
toil ; that those cheap, tawdry pion
through long years, had grown
their hearts ; that those ohairs
dining table, though of too com
stuff to enter your kitchen, wei
portion of their lives ; that perchi
ooe of those chairs was daily placed
that humble board to plead for men
of some dear one who bad passed *
waves of this troublesome world'* ;
tba diogy piano was a loving gift f
the busband to that old wife io be
days, and with it was going the sc
of apple blossoms, the song of b
and hum of bees, the sunshine of d
distant daya, wheo fortune sm
serene without one disturbing press
of that dark day when, old and frie
less, with the white frosts of age fal
thick on bair and beard, they eho
see that dear old piano pass from th
like the hopes of youth, while
foremost minister of God io Amer
would look on unmoved, intent only
possessing theircow ?
I once read in one of your serm<
such a soul-stirring denodciation
Abaz because, in his eovetoas heart,
sought to become possessed of the vi
yard of the bumble Naboth, that
bave always thought less of Abaz tb
ever before. Did not feeble recollecti
of that story return to you wheo, w
the ruins of a man's little fortu
crushing bis very soul, you went to 1
barn and ptoked out which one of I
oows yon desired to become your owt
Do you know, my dear dootor, tb
mud-bedraggled enlisted men io t
trenches around Santiago emptied tb<
haversacks into the laps of star vii
women from the city, and tbsmselv
went hungry until more supplies cou
be brought to the front ?
I wonder if it occurred to you tba
wbila your "so called"* funny story w
on the eve of publication, two mc
-Patrick Coffeefaod Samoel Joynes
offioers on a burning steamer in Loo
IsUnd SOU'JQ, bravely yielded up the
lives ia their endeavor to save the liv?
of passengers who were strangers I
them ?
Do you think if these two rough
probably profane-steamboat men ha
been on baod with your menus an
influence, they would have seen a
aged couple turned into the high'.vs
by an auctioneer ? Yon know the
would not.
Do you believe that even old Rus

must soon felicitate with Dives on tb
amoust that worthy has saved in ces
bills io the past two thousand years o
more, would have acted as you did
a million or more cf your admirer
have given one year longer and doublei
tbe rate of interest ? Do you imagio
that yoa have served to more deepl"
implant the grace of God in thc heart
of that family ?
Is it probable that they will rais;
hosannas each time they soe one of you
sermons ia print ?
Doubtless, my dear doctor, you wil
deem it the height of impertinence ii
my venturing to ask you questions. ]
am emboldened by the fact that I enct
read one of your eermons in whioh yon
exhorted your hearers to "despise ool
the day of email things," elcqseotij
portraying the serious consequence*

FILIPINO DICTATORSHIP TO
WAGE GUERRILLA WAR
London, Dec 12 -Reuter's Tele?
gram compauy received the following
dispatch from Kong Kong :
'.The insurgent government so
called, of the Philippines, will be
changed to a dictatorship, to con
tinue hostilities against the Ameri?
cans exclusively by the methods of
guerrilla warfare. The Filipino army
is being split up into small bands,
the troops taking an oath before
separation that they will fight until
their country's rights are recognized
"A force of United States marines
who landed at Vigan, South Hocos
province, from the battleship Oregon,
was defeated by the Filipinos under
Gen Fiuio (Tino ?) on Dec 4. The
Manila newspapers, despite the cen?
sorship, admit that Gen Lawton is
missing "
