A SUPERB POLICE FLAG OF HONOR,

Immediately after the July riot OF last year some
gentlemen who had not forgotten The faithfulness
OF the police in that and the RIOT OF 1868 conceived
the idea OF presenting the police force with flag
Of honor, which they could carry on each annual
parade. Among the gentlemen who took an active
part in this movement Is Colonel II. 8. Alcott,
under whose direction one OF the finest nags
ever made In this country has been produced.
Already $G25 has been collected and Is In the
hands OF III. A. Oakley President Of the National
Board OF Fire Underwriters, where the nag 10 now

He turned away from earthly pleasures. He stood

him. God seeks TO bring oil men into companion

whether 1t Is possible to know whether man
pleases God. II was late IN the day to ask such
question. We live In the brightest days OF the
wori1s history. Enoch before his translation, had
the testimony that he pleased God. This question
was answered thousands OF years ago Enoch
walked with God three hundred years. This i'm

ST. STEPHENS CHURCH.

Among the many Inconvenience caused by the
hot weather the religious people, no doubt, class
dissgreeable condition for prayer az one of the
greatest. With the thermometer near the nineties
and breath Of air out Of the question: the rapture
supposed to enaue from o contemplation Of
heavenly things must be considerably affected, IT,
indeed, the heat does not altogether prevent its
existence to any extent. The thin audiences
In the churches since the heated term set
In proves that people recognize the drawbacks to
devotion which are to be found in broiling bodies
and minds wholly occupied In trying to keep cool.
Owing to this cause doubtless the pastors Of nearly
oil the Catholic churches In the city, which in cool
weather are crowded to their utmost capacity,
relieve their congregatiGns from rom s.,v too
on Sundays, and thus dispense with the
usual sermons In this very hot weather The people
miss very much the customary exhortatOns on
Sundays; but attending at high mass In such
weather as this ought TO ease the conscences OF
the most scrupulOus OF church-gOers, and be suf1-
ceht in itself to notify the EVIL One that for the
week to come spiritual aid has been sought and
gained for victory over every temptation. In st.
Stephens church, Twenty eighth street, where the
services are carried out fully, and consequently
take longer time to be got through, there no
sermon yesterday for the reasons above stated.
but the music OF the mass is Of the usual length
aud me service was therefore even too long. The
absence OF the sermon, which Is always sure to be
eloquent and instructive at this church, was much
regretted by many, especially by strangers. who
are always here from all parts OF the CITY, and who
come for the pull pose OF hearing the discourse Of
the gifted pastor OF the church or some Of his eO-
Quent assistants.

The services at st. Patrick's Cathedral yesterday
forenoon owing to the hot weather were made as
short as possible. The Rev. Father Kearney took
for his text the Gospel according to st. Luke, which

CHURCH OF THE REDEMproR1sT FATHERS
Sermon on thc Second and Third Conn
mIndmcpts.

Sermon ON thc Second and Third Conn
mnndmcnts.
The Very Reverend Director Of the Redemptorist
Fathers, in their church, on Thompson street, de-
hvered an interesting discourse on the second and
third commandments In the course ofhls remarks he
said tnat God not only wishes to believe in Him,
to hope In Him and love Him, but He also wishes us
to revere His holy name, and hence 1t was that He
has given us the second commandment "Thou
shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God In
vain." The reason He had given this command
ment was because Of His being ever jealous Of His
honor and glory. The Almighty wishes us to make
use OF Bis holy name during time OF prayer and
religious exercises, but then only. Never must we
speak His name unless with reverence, for other
wise We shall dishonor God and call down His just
anger. The very reverend gentleman here dwelt
at length and In an eloquent manner on
the fearful consequences of taking Gods
name In vain. lie then went on TO say that we
must not alone believe, hope, love God and rever-
worship, express our reverence towards HIM.
Nature dictates to us that we must worship Cod
s'Remember thou keep holy the sabbath dayn nv
this commandment God expressly desires external
worship. he says "Remember";-that Is to say
never lose sight OF IL; always bear IL in mind never
forget 1t. The Sabbath Is special day set apart
for the service Of God. The very word Sabbath
means cessation from work. No work must be
done except what is absolutely necessary. There
was difference between the third commandment
and the preceding ones. The third commandment
and the others agree, inasmuch as all are founded
on the natural law but they dner In thls--namely,
that by the third commandment particular day
is set apart for divine worship. The natural law
commands US to worship God In general way, but
the third commandment points out one special
day for the purpose. The reverend gentleman then
went into the various reasons why Christians
observed the Sabbath on the first, not
the last, day Of the week. Among
other reasons assigned was because. Christ
came down on the apostles upon Sunday. He
Also kave a. reason because II was upon q Sun
day our Redeemer rose from the dead and, besides,
It should he borne in mind that as God rested after
six days SO it was becoming that His creatures
should Initiate the Creator In this. To the observ
ance OF the third commandment God attached all
kinds OF blessings, and He threatens with all man.
ner Of punshments those who do not keep the
Sabbath holy. Why, they would ask, is God strict
on this pointY The answer IL because He is the
author Of our existence. He preserves US ami has
everlasting enJoyments prepared for those who
love him. Therefore, the least men could do would
be to devote one day TO God after devotIng the
other SIX to the world The reverend father then
went into the various motives that should induce
persons to observe the third commandment, and
concluded by promising his congregation to 20
more in detail Into this subject next Sunday.

CHASTITY SCENE AT A oAI.Loyys.

On Thursday III ,rning. June 4,h,
within the precincts of The Jail, the
last dread sentence of the law was
carried out upon the persun of John
Conn, who wns at the last assize
convicted and condemned to dea'h
for the murder of an elderly woman
named Aveline Little, ntar Wyn-
deyer. in March last.
Precisely at nine o'clock, the
" ched criminal. attended by the
Rev. Mr.. McAucliffe was led forth
from Lis cell, aud quietly submitted
himself to the han S of the two
execuiioners, who at once proceeded
to pinion him. The prisoner Mas
taken to the foot of the gallows, and
ascended the stairs without exhibit
ing any agitation. He raised his
hands twice as if i'll supplication; and
upon the cap being thrown over his
head and tired the bolt was drawn.
A scene now occurred that will never
be forgotten by those who Witnessed
it. When the body passed through
the drop the spectators of course
expected to see 1t swing underneath
when the extent of the rope was
reached; but what was their horror
to see the trunk completely severed
from the head, fall into the pit below
whil4 the head was left dangling in
the noose--t terrible and CHASTITY sight.
Death, of course, was instantaneous.
1t is impossible to describe the SEN
sation which this shocking spectacle
produced. Every one present stood
as if he were rooted to the spot, and
it was some time before most of the
onlookers could realize what had
actually occurred. Tue blood ran
in barrow stream from the head
suspended above and, upon ap-
proaching the edge of the pit, the
upper portion OF the body was seen
to partially raise itself in convulsive
| shudderings two or three times be-
fore it ceased to move, the blood
pouring in streams FROM the neck.
The effect of the scene was sickenihg
| in the extreme. but as soon as possible
the trunk and head were put in a
colin and removed. The cause OF
the terrible catastrophe was the want
of a y allowance on the part of the
executioners for the age and at
tenuated frame of the convict. Far
too great II fall was given, and
though it might be merciful as a
rapid and painless mode of taking
life, the result was certainly mos,
revolving Batharst Times.

ANoyEL DUEL.

Among the rennnisce ces told OF

count of u curious duel between two
subordinate officers in the French

''Yes, Coione., words have passed
