The sermon Of Mr.. Boocher on Sunday
was on his favorito subject, the Sabbath.
Ho argued that tho Sabbath tended TO help
workingmen. People wanted day for
religious instruction, and that was what
the Sabbath gave. There was no such
method Of instruction as the church. The
church stood ON the Sabbath as n founda-
ton. Take away tho foundation, aud the
church would go down. Toward the close
Of his sermon the Plymouth pastor spoke
Of ministers, and objected to the custom Of
dead-heading clergymen. ~ am not
sacred pauper," Mr.. Beecher declared
with emphasis; II can pay my fare as well
as anybody In new country, he con.
tinued, where the minister got $500 sal
airy aud was fed from bag 1t was differ
ent; but in organized society he did not
think ministers ought to take these gifts.
He did not claim anything for minister
that he would not claim for lawyer or any
other man. Ministers ought to be emanci-
pated. They ought to vote; they weren't
lit to be ministers IL they did not. They
ought to be taxed, and, for that matter,
churches ought to be taxed also. Mr.,
Beecher would not tax charitable institu-
tions, nor the States own institutions, like
schools; but he would tax voluntary
organization like church.

Washington Branch Baltimore 4
Ohio Railroad.

In the annual report of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, submitted to the stockhold-
ers yesterday, occurs the following with re-.
gard to the Washington Branch: "The
earnings were $353, 570.45, showing an in.
crease of $50, 1890 compared with the pre-
vious year. The expenditures charged, &C.
cording to the system explained in previous
annual reports, amount to $l60,O37.2l, be-
ing for improvements and for repairs of rail-
way, depots, water stations and bridges and
for pumping water. The partial expendi-
lures charged, being deducted from the rev.
enue stated, there remained the sum of
1888, 544,24, a decrease of net earnings, COM
pared with the preceding year, of So, 1853 81.
The expenditures upon tho Washington
branch show an increase over the preceding
year of $92, 1897. In order to make this
branch as perfect as possible important i'm
provements are being made, and particu-
larly In the substitution of stone for gravel
ballast 1t is designed to make the road
free from dust, and to perfect it in every
practicable form. Semi-annual dividends
of per cent. upon the capital stock were
paid on the LIST Of November, 1880, and on
the 10th of April, 1881"

An italian Crank.

In the Italian Chamber of Deputies yes.
torday while Premier Depretis was dis.
cussing the agricultural estimates, disorder
was suddenly observed in the strangers
gallery, and Immediately after revolver
was thrown into the hall and n voice cried
To Dcpretis" The revolver fell without
exploding or hurting anyone. The man
who had the pistol was at once arrested and
the house resumed the debate.
The name of the crank is Maccaluso.
His motives are believed to have been per-
sonal. He was born in Arragona Sicily.
He had already been imprisoned for wound
ing with intent to murder, and was still
under police supervision. 1t is stated that
Maccaluso presented himself at the police
station in Rome yesterday morning and
asked to DO watched during the day saying
that otherwise he would commit some ex.
cess. 1t appears that his intention was to
shoot Premier Depretis, but, being pre-
vented by bystanders, he flung the pistol at
the Premier

The Christian Life OF the Late Prcsf.
dent Garfield.

Baltimore Gazette, to-day.
Rev. f. d. Power, of Washington, ID. c.,
who was pastor Of the church which the
late President attended, lectured last night
at Masonic Temple on "Gen. Garfield's
Christian Life" His audience was quite
large and appreciative. His discourse was
more in tho form of q sermon than lecture
and occupied nearly two hours. He first
referred to the Presidents childhood, his
youth, and arrived finally by gradual stages
of treatment of the subject to his death.
He said he received the rite of baptism
March 4, 1851. He had never studied Latin
further than the grammar when he entered
Hiram College. where he was the first
thing given two inches Of Caesars Com
mentaries to translate. The way he entered
upon this, to him, difficult task was an CYL
dence of his character He looked upon
the completion of the task rs q matter of
life and death, and so well defined was his
spirit of perseverance that without aid he
accomplished IL. Mr.. Power said that Gen.
Garfield, although he was both teacher
and minister of the Gospel, never intended
to continue in either profession, bis am
bition being to become n lawyer and ulti.
mately politician. All tho while he was
quietly studying law. 1t could not be said
that he deserted the ministry for politics,
because he was never regularly ordained.
Gen. Garfield was not perfect man, but he
was honest, sincere generous and Chris
tian. Mr.. Power said that queer incident
about Gen. Garfield was that he was always
thinking of condolences relative to himself
He once referred to the fact that Harrison
was President in 1910, Lincoln 90 years after
in 1860, and himself, 90 years later still,

Father MeaIy 10 Resign.

Rev. Father Healy, president of George
town College, is stillin Boston at the resi-
dence of his brother Bishop Healy
whittier he went for needed rest. A pri-
vate letter received yesterday from him
gives no encouragement regarding his con-
dition, and II is now almost certain that he
will not again assume his duties of presi'
dent. In this event Rev. Father Mcguire
will succeed to the position. 1t is under
stood that Father Healy will soon seek, in
a trip to Europe the total relaxation from
care and responsibility which his condition
absolutely requires.
