New York Tribuno.l
Some days ago a Tribune re.
porter visited Messrs. Moody and
Sankey, and called their attention
to o published statement that they
were constantly receiving from ep-
thusiastic converts and admirers
sums Of money which in the aggre-
gate were sufficient to make them
both wealthy, the article implying
lthat they were making use of re-
yiyals as means to accumulate
riches. Mr.. Moody's earnest face
betrayed no feeling, other than a
slight shade of contempt, as he
road the article for the first time,
fand Mf. Sankey playfully tapped
him on the shoulder, and asked;
"When am / to get my share of
the spoils?" to which Mr.. Moody
Instantly replied, g Not in this
world" At that time Mr.. Moody
said he would make a statement ito
the public as soon as he had the
leisure, explaining the manner in
which he lived and the way in
which support had been rendered
to him; but yesterday he expressed
his determination not to take any
notice of such attacks, on account
of the false construction which
might be placed on a public state
ment, H.

A Perfect MarrlnEa.

A perfect and complete marriage
is perhaps as rare as perfect per-
sonal beauty, Men and womenare
married fractionally, now a small
fraction, then a larger fraction.
Very few are married totally and
they are only after some forty Or
fifty years ofgradual approach and
experiment.. Such q long and
sweet fruit is a complete marriage
that it needs a very long summer
to ripen in and a long winter to
mellow and season in. But, a real
happy marriage of love and judg'
ment, between a noble man anC
woman, is one Of the things sovery
handsome that if the sun were al

Christ to all whom he can reach, as
freely as the waters of life are given
-"without money and without
price" But he has not sufficient
means to bear the expense Of travel
or to support his family and himself
while giving his whole time to
preaching. For this reason he has
been compelled to accept the free
offerings Of such friends as choose
to give him pecuniary assistance,
and desire and expect nothing in
return but that he should continue
in his work. Many of Mr.. Moody's
converts have thus sent him small
sums of money as friendly gifts,
desiring him to use them to obtain
the comforts Of life while going.
forward in the ministry. A great
part of these gifts comes to him in
closed in anonymous letters, thus
compelling acceptance. During
his stay in this city all his letters,
except those from his own family,
have been opened by the persons
who entertained him as their guest.
Mr.. Moody states that during his
stay in this city he has received
about $500 in this way, and that all
he has ever received from friends
has only placed him in barely COM
Portable circumstances. Said he to
the reporter: 81 have all the
money ] want, if it isn't very much.
/ have just bought a little place to
make a home for my wife and chill
dren; it cost $4,000, and / have been
putting in some repairs which will
cost about as much more; and l
don't think | am ashamed to look
any man in the face and tell him
about it," When it was suggested
that a statement ofsuch facts would
do much to stop all adverse criti-
cism on his mode of working, he
replied that it might have the effect
also to make the people send him
more money than he wanted, and
then some enemies would say he
was bidding for money, Such
charges would not only place him
in most unfortunate light, but
they would also bring discredit on
the religion which he preached.

SWINDLERs ON THE CARS.
An Extraordinary story OF Robbers
In Canada on the Grand Trunk
Railroad.

~
in Canada on ihe Grand Trunk
Railroad.
The Montreal Witness says: One
of the most daring and villainous
cases of robbery that has lately
taken place occurred Tuesday night
on the Grand Trunk night train
from Toronto to Montreal. Mr.. J.
G. Hurst, of Stratford, relates the
story thus:
"Last night as was coming to
Montreal on the night train, when
a little above Kingston, man came
into the smoking-car dressed like a
Texan granger, with a gray palm
leaf hat and an overcoat buttoned
up close. He had a simple air, and
asked me the distance to Toronto,
and the time of day, l took out
my watch, a gold one, and told him
the hour; asked him if he had
come far; he replied from Chicago.
He said he had been selling cattle,
and had been led into a little spec
ulation there with some of those
sharpers known as three-eard
men, and lost some money by them.
Out Of curiosity, however, he had
purchased three of these cards to
show to his father. Asking me if
| had ever seen the cards, | said,
no, l knew nothing about the
cards. Upon that he took them
out, saying, 4 will show you some
thing Of the way tits done. You
just toss up the cards, and if you
catch a particular card you win the
money; if not, you lose. He said
he had lost in the game, and he was
anxious to show me how he had
done it, but / declined to play. just
then two other men drew nigh.
having the appearance of interested
spectators, and wanted to play q
game. They put down a five dol
lar bill, and he put down a five dol
lar gold piece, but said he did mol
want to gamble, and whoever won
was to return the money. The first
man lost his gold piece and it was
handed back to him. He ther
turned to me and said, What time
is it?' Naturally | pulled out my
watch and told him the time. Al
that instant he made spring ant
grabbed my watch. He pulled thu
guard through the button-hole
tearing the vest, and made off fol

but the other two men pouncet

The Result Of an Advertisement,

New York Times
Superintendent Walling received
a telegram yesterday, which read as
follows: 81 want protection; amob
about my place; send me help. P,
Lowenthal." The signer was well
known as a former policeman, who
was known to the force as "Glass-
putin, I" owing to his alledged bus
mess before he was made a patrol
man, and who now keeps a lamp
store at No. 243 West Twenty.
ninth street. Mr.. Walling at once
telegraphed to the Twentieth pre-
cinct to know what the matter was,
and meantime rumors got abroad
that a great riot was in progress up
town. But in a short time it was
found that the trouble was all over
and that it had been due to an ad.
yertisement in a morning paper,
stating that Mr.. LoWenthal wanted
twenty-five men to go to Philadel,
phia during the Centennial at S1.75
per day; also, a number of women
to work on sewing-machines; and,
also, that he had a frame house I'd
sell. The respondents to these de.
mands who cOngregated before his
house early in the morning made d
small army, and in his dismay he
sent the telegram to Superintendent
Walling, instead of sending it to
the station-house, for protection.
The gathering soon attracted the
attention of the local police, and
before the superintendent had time
to do anything it had been dispers.
ed. 1t is not known who inserted
the bogus advertisement nor tC
what motive it was due, although
it is supposed that it had its origin
either in malice or in a desire tx
perpetrate a practical joke.
