Remember the new location—

THIRD FLOOR \

Actually we have never been fair with our customers who desired linens, obligingthem to look at beautiful things in the crowded aisles in scant sitting or standing space. \u25a0

It is all over now. We have enlarged our linen business by taking itinto the Thirdfloor, fronting on Broadway, with a space large enough to give the people a chance'

to see what the old A. T.Stewart store is capable of.The light is beautiful, and the satisfaction to investigators of having liberally

spread before them so many different linen things, that could not in the past be prop-;erly put upon the short counters down stairs, willbe most pleasing.

This removal of the linens to the Third floor, is a revival of the old-time A. T.Stewart "linen business." The new spot is quite close to five elevators on the Ninthstreet side, and not far from five more elevators that run to the third floor. We shallnow be able to show many fine and very fine goods, in Table-cloths, Napkins. Towels,Doilies, and other fancy linen? that some people have supposed we didnot have on sale.

Now that we have enlarged the linen section, it willbe easily seen thit but fewexclusive linen stores keep such large stocks as willconstantly be found here.

Linens here are linen and nothing else !An inspection politely requested.

The Old-TimeA. T.. Stewart LinensIn those old days when Alexander T. Stewart personally superintended the

greatest retail store then in the world, his two pet businesses were—

the Laces andLinens. He had a marvelous taste for laces and a wonderful instinct for linens.

Many who knew Mr.Stewart used to think his favorite stock was the linens. Per-haps it was because his favorite buyer, Mr. Walker, wm the head of the linen section.

We have always thought that if Mr. Stewart were living,he would be ashamedof our linen counters. Xot that we did not hare the right goods, but that we had sncJpoor arrangements to show them. It seemed as if, with the Shoes on the one side,'

the Dress Goods on the other, and an important counting-room at the end, of the sec-tion, the Linens were smothered and belittled, though all the time we had cases andcases of linens exactly like those that Mr.Stewart's old consignors used to send out to

him in great quantities—

all beautiful goods, that we kept packed away for want ofroom to show them.

The baby had been playing with several com-panions and ran underneath the horses. The driverMatthew Lennon of No. 58S Grand-st.. applied thebrake and (".id ail he could to prevent the wheelsfrom passing over the child's body, but the mo-mentum of the car was too great. A crowd gath-ered around th* car. but there was no demonstra-tion against the driver. He was locked up on atechnical charge of homiclda.

He Had Been Out of Work and Drank Car-bolic Acid.

Lynbrook. Long Island. July IP.—The body of aman, believed to have been Charles Lorsch. of No.861 Eighteenth-st.. Brooklyn, was found in thewoods near this place to-day. Abottle which con-tained «ome whisky and a vial which had containedcarbolic acid were found beside the body. Thesuicide Is supposed to have been out of work andfailing to obtain employment, went on a spreewhich lasted about twenty-four hours and endedin self-destruction.

The following resolutions were adopted at to-nigth's meeting of the league.

The young Methodism of North America, as rep-resented in this convention of more than 20.000 dele-Kates, reflects the spirit and voices the sentimentof 2,000,000 Epworthiars.

Our deliberations have known no differences.Our Intercourse Is a delight. Distance and na-tional boundaries are incidental. We wish to loveour country, our rulers and our flag; yet we are somade one in Christ that all several interests mergeInto His kingdom and all souls blend in commonkinship.

V.'c rejice in the continued growth and increasingusefulness of the young peoples' societies of theChurches. V'e are grateful 0 Almighty God forthe marvellous successes which have come to theEpworth League since the last International con-vention at San Francisco. The experience cf theyears gives increasing evidence of the adaptati >nof the plans of the Epworth League to the spiritand polity of Methodism.

As In the past, we stand for the broadest Chris-tian fraternity. We hail with special satisfactionevery opportunity for practical co-operation withour young people's societies In Christian ministryand service.

The Epworth League is not merely a young peo-ple's movement, neither is it to be looked upon asa separate department of the Church. It aims tobo an embodiment of all the activities of ourChurch, a complete manifestation of the spirit ofour common Methodism.

First in importance among questions claimingour attention we place the systematic and devoutstudy of the Scriptures, both for our own spiritualgrowth and to srlve fitness for soul winning. Weconsider ourselves called to the work of personalevangelism, and we enjoin all our members to enterthe fields now white for harvest. We stand for apresent, an abundant and a conscious salvation, asessential to that power of witnessing which winsmen. We thus send out to the young hosts of ourunittd Methodism this appeal for prayer— a holywaiting at the morning watch, a pleading of thepromises of the open book for a revival, whichmay mean to the twentieth century what the re-vival of Wesley was to the eighteenth century andto the world.Epworth Leaguers, let us to our knees that wemay wield the Spirit's blade.

To us, as to the young people of no other ageccmes the trumpet call. "Go ye all into all theworld." and go we must, for. lifting up our eyes,we behold In many lands Gospel opportunities rap-idly becoming Gospel emergencies.

To remain ignorant or indifferent to the causoof missions is to sin against light and to ignorethe will of God. We, a part of Christ's great army,place at His instant disposal our means, our ser-vice and ourselves, that the world may he evan-gelized in our generation.

The gigantic iniquity of the Anglo-Saxon race isa fostering of the monstrous traffic in intoxicantsWe believe the complete disenfranchisement of thebusiness will abolish dangers that threaten us andclear up problems that perplex us.

This whole evil organization Is a fountain of in-iquity whose streams poison wherever they flowIthas no redeeming feature. Itis an environmentof perdition; hence we set our faces against thisenemy of God, and will give It no quarter In sociallife. In politics—in fact, nowhere, until it is rele-gated to its own place.

We regard the Christian Sabbath as the bulwarkof defence for our Christian institutions To dese-crate the Sabbath endangers everything of impor-tance to the Church of God.

We recognize ourselves as stewards of God's es-tate: we urge upon all our members such an ad-ministration of that estate as those who expect togive an account The calls of the kingdom aremandatory and definite. Hence, we acknowledgeourselves bound by the law of systematic and pro-portionate giving

We are citizens and patriots, as well as Chris-tians. Hence, we record ourselves as upholders oflaw and order always and everywhere, as againstall lawlessness and unlawful violence.

Twenty-five Hundred Go on Strike forHigher Pay.

A general strike of knee breeches makers, orderedby the Knee Breeches Makers' Union, for the re-newal of the agreement of last year with the con-tractors, went Into effect yesterday. Sunday is thebeginning of the working week on the East Side,but not a machine was moving in any of {he con-tractors' shops, so far as the making of kneebreeches was concerned.

Inall, about twenty-five hundred knee breechesmakers quit work. They were employed by eightycontractors in Manhattan, twenty-five in Brooklynand sixteen in Brownsville. The strikers madetheir headquarters in a hall at No. 73 L.udlow-st.,where 1... Wiesefeld, the strike leader, and othersmade speeches in Yiddish, the gist of which wasthat the strikers were the worst paid and mostmiserable people in the city. The strikers, wholooked cheerful, applauded vigorously.

The demands of the strikers are expected to begranted.

East Seventy-sixth-Bt., yesterday. It was thethird day of the annual novena at the shrine ofgt. Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary, and the

feast day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. so It

was hoped that the relic enshrined In the base-

ment of the church would perform miracles.None were reported, although Father Roy, from

8 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock in theevening, presented the relic, in Its metal case, to

thousands of lipsand applied it to different parts

of the afflicted supplicants who crowded at the

Guardsmen Much Pleased tilth Tripto Plum Island.

Tanned a deep brown by their week of camplife at Fort Terry. Plum Island, the nine hundredor.d odd men of the 13th Regiment. Heavy Artillery.N. G. N. V.. marched back to their armory atJefferson and Sumner ayes.'. Brooklyn, yesterday

afternoon at 5 i 'dock, and were royally greetedby more than two thousand of their friends, par-ents, wives and sweethearts. The men were en-thusiastic over their experience at the army post,and stamp it as the • pleaaantest and mostprofitable camp tour the regiment ever had.

The regiment struck camp on Plum Island at10:30 a. m. and marched to the south pier, whereth" steamer Greenport was waiting for the menar.d their baggage! The boat was loaded in lessthan an hour, and at 12:30 o'clock reached Gr«..-port. Long Island. There two special trains of theLong [aland Railroad were waiting, and the menray they broke the record In loading each train l.ifrom five to seven minutes. After an uneventfultrip the trains reached the Bedford-aye. station. inBrooklyn, at 4:30 o'clock. From there the regimentmarched to the armory. Colonel David E. Austenand all of his officers returned with the regiment.Every man was in good health, and there waslittle sickness i: ••\u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 ma of the entire week.It bad been intended to establish a permanent

camp on Plum Island, where such officer* and menwtl * desired could remain or to which they couldreturn later In the summer. This idea was given

tip. however, on account of the poor facilities forgoing to and from the island.

Captain Stewart, of Battery A, speaking of theweek of camp lif«at the army reservation, paid:

"Vlall enjoyed It first rate. You couldn't finda healthier place. The air is good and the water

under the direction of Major Hamilton, command-tint of Port T-rry. and the other army officers, wassuccessful and beneficial. The regulars said they.were surprised md pleased with the improve-ment we made during the week. We fired twice as\u25a0way «hou as we did two ye^rs ago at Fort Wright,ar.d we did it in three-quarters of the time."

Boroo of the privates were complaining that they

didn't gat enough to eat in camp. Not many ofthem, however, would admit It, although they allraid they were ravenously hungry and intendedto hurry' home to get a "good square meaL"

Colored Minister Declares Negroes Turn to

Crime Because They Cannot Get Work.

The Rev. Horace Miller,a colored Methodist mln-ffter, preached a sermon in the Mount Tabor Meth-

odist Episcopal Church Mission, at No. 67 -WestOne-hundred-and-thirty-fourth-st., last night, In

which he put all the blame for the criminality anddegraded condition of the colored race on the whitepeople. The title of the sermon was. "CriticalPhases of Colored Life."

"From the time the colored race received theirliberty." paid the clergymen, "the white people

\u25a0tailed to defame the name of the colored man andwoman. As soon as the negro became free thewhites began to fasten on him a reputation not

bis own and called him a bestial criminal. Ihavedevoted years of study to the question, and Ifindthat the negro is not a whit more a rapist than thewhite man. Not 10 per cent of the crimes chargedup against the colored man are due to him alone,

"No race needs a higher education than the negro.

so that he may become an independent man andthink for himself. The negro has all rights to aneducation, but these rights are being called intoquestion by the whites. The negro is becoming

more criminal than ever because he cannot get any

work. Ifhe does get work the pay Is such that iti« not sufficient for him to live. If the South hadSjven the negro an honest dollar for an honestday"* work, or even an honest half dollar, thenegroes would not flock to New-York to becomecriminal. Ifthe Southern farmer had not paid thenegro helper in molasses and brown sugar thenegro would have been contented to remain, andl\u25a0\u25a0 to day would gladly go hack to the South IfholouM pet paid an honest day's wages.

\u25a0 The quickest way to solve the negro problem isto employ the negro. Ninety-five per cent of thecriminals .ninnp them would then disappear. Iknow a colored man—a good penman and a finebookkeeper— who answered a number of applica-tions for help. He got a number of answers ask-ing him to call He did so, but In nearly everyta.se, as soon as he was seen to be a negro, he wasturned away, and often with curses. Many, manynegroes seek work, cannot get it and turn crimi-nals from self-preservation. They?.. are criminalsbecause they cannot fret work. The*Whites are re-pponslble because they hold the positions the ne-groes ould nil, and they willnot give them up."
