MOODY AND SANKEY
The Influence of Their Work Upon the
Religions English People.

From the London Telegraph. t-.s1
The persons who form the bulk of the Moody
and Sankey congregation are perhaps. of all the
people on this EARTH those who lead the most
absolutely dark and dreary lives as fer as out
ward appeals to their senses are concerned.
They are Protestants of the middler or humber
classes. honest, God fearing quiet sober men
and women. II church folk, they are as rule
evangelical, and their preachers seldom shine
as orators. If Dissenters, their Little Bethels
are plain, without ritual variety. without a good
organ or trained choir, sweet singing, or at
tractive service. Their turn of thought forbids
the music hall or the theater; they rarely read
novels; our climate and manners exclude pro-
cessons; our architecture is gray; our streets
grimy and the skies above them often dull To
people from whose lives, homes, and haunts
olor music. movement, romance. brightness
are thus excluded there are suddenly presented
opportunities OF hearing a really stirring ora
tiOn and hymns we'll led and powerfully sup
ported. Thus the success of Messrs. Moody and
Sankey is easily accounted for on the surface
alone. But there are other and deeper reasons.
To many Englishmen Of these classes theology
is their only literature. and religious aspiration
the poetry of their lives. They live in the past
pictured by the Bible or in the future which it
promises and the old English of its history and
modern prose Of their daily life. 1t is curious
enough that, while the ordinary Evangelcals
find formidable rivals in the preaching, prayer
and song of the new missionaries, they should
see another section assailing them from the
opposite quarter. The kitualists will not leave
them alone. The eloquence of Mr.. Moody. the
melody of MIR. Sankey shine by contrast with
their too often dry preaching and dull services,
while the advanced Anglicans bring all the re-
sources OF art to bear against them on the other
side. Images, symbols, emblems. pictures
color, incense music. intonation and song
varied vestments and elaborate ceremonies make
church where the service is very High as
attractive as a theater and picture gallery in
one. Between the two extremes, the old Evan
gelicals, content to dwell In decencies forever"
are certainly losing ground. The droning duet
between parsOn and clerk, and the dull ugliness
to disappear. New lite is poured in at both ends
to stir up the whole length and breadth of the
national organization of religion.

A MOB IN CONNECTICUT.
StOning the House Of n Man Who Wa

who owns nice place near the James ID. Fish
homestead. Two years ago he married Miss
Rassata Fish, of the Wequetequoc district. It
Is said that he has used her shamefully since.
and lately turned his property into cash. locked
his wife up in roOm and told her to be ready
to leave at O'Clock that night for a cheaper
home in POnckateag. He would live with her
no longer. This was on Saturday night. She
pleaded with him on her knees, but he was in
exorable Then she fed from the house. In
the meantime Miner had made division of the
property to suit himself and loaded what he
called his wife's share on truck.
Before he could have the goods moved, the cit
liens held an INDIGNATION meeting and marched
down on his premises. They took the chattels
of the truck and stored them in barn. After
this there was quiet; but it was only truce, for
about 10 p. m. between six and seven hundred
persons, many wearing masks appeared before
the Miner mansion with tar, feathers and white
wash brushes They called on him TO show HIM
self. but the old man knew too much for that,
and then the mob satisfied themselves with
painting the door with tar breaking every pane

they could lay hands on through the windows.
Among the missiles with which the beleagured
miser was assaied was sDsetting hen, and the
miscreants followed thi96p with fusilade of

crowd retired and hung him in efigy. After
they were gone Miner crawled out of the Chin

The BedOuin Vanderbilt.
From the Chic 90 Tribune
~

from the CHIC 60 Tribune.
"Ah There's beauty"
group of French. officers were gathered
around a horse whose chestnut coat, gstening
in the bright sunshine that beat down fiercely
upon an Algerian plain, seemed made of bur
nished gold. At his head stood O Bedouin, tall
in stature, stout of limb and with a proud
naughty bearing that plainly showed his noble
ancestry. The man patted the nose of the
beautiful animal with slow, caressing motion,
and ever and anon placed his swarthy face be-
side the tapering muzzle Of his pet and pride,
whispering to the intelligent beast words which
none of those who surrounded the pair could I'M
derstand. For moment the group of officers
stood there in silence
"YOu wish to sell your horse?" one of them
asked at last.
Yes" replied the Bedouin ~"Allah is great
and my family suffer from hunger. There is
nothing left whichwil bring us money and food
except this hOrse-the swiftest in our tribe
love him better than my life; but to give my life
would not bring the food for which my children
are crying, and Ahgaz must be sold"
''HOw these heather adore their horses" said
an officer. 1T is breaking his heart to lose the
beast"
81 will give you 10000 sequins for him." said
one OF the group.
A tremor shook the Bedouin's frame. The
sum mentioned was to him princely fortune
1t would not only save his starving family but
keep them in luxury all their lives
II will take your gOld,' he said.
The officer advanced and gave him the money
but hardly had it touched his hand when the
Bedouin flung the shining coins on the ground,
ran to his horse, which stood looking at him.
and flung his arms about the Intelligent crea-
lures neck. "NO" he cried, "they shall not
have you. my idol! Better death than separa-
tion!" And leaping on the back of Ahgaz was
In an instant galloping away with the swiftness
of the wind.
Hold" cried one of the officers "Your affec-
tlOn for your horse has won our sympathy and
respect. Tell us your name, that we may ever
remember it."
Turning on his horse the Bedouin shouted
back in clarion tones:

A Scrap Of Paper ArOuses a Town.

From the Lewiston CIe) Journal Nays
They had all sorts of rumors going on the
street in relation to an attempt at burglary of a
bank In one of the two cities Wednesday even
ing. crowd was around the door and the
lights were turned up while the people peered
In at the windows. The cause Of the trouble was
the springing OF burglar alarm in the bank
The alarm rang shortly after o'clock in the tel
ephone office and the police station. 1t rang its
full length Of time with brief Interruptions 1t
reused all the vigilance of the law and the tele-
phone. The ringing was plainly heard out doors.
The result was the opening of the bank, the
activity of the police, the crowd around the bank
doors, and the final discovery of the Joke of the
burglar alarm. The continuance Is so arranged
that the connection is made by means of a clock
arrangement shortly after 9 o'clock. The shut
ting OF the door presses button and completes
a circuit. piece of paper became shut in the
lamb of the door. preventing the complete shut
ting OF the door and the pressing of the button.
When the hour came for the making of the con-
nection, the piece of paper had the same result
as if the door had been open, and the alarm
went off. Lots of people had seen suspicious
characters enough to crack all the banks In
town. and none of them laid it to the most sus-
picious thing of all, piece Of thin paper.

What Theodore Thomas DisIikes.

washington Correspondence New York Tribune.
Theodore Thomas has come and gone. His
concerts in Baltimore and the one here were
great successes, financially and artstcally.
Especially is this true OF the Wagner concert
given here. The house was sold out half an
hour after the tickets were put on sale. and
there would have been no difficulty in selling
double the number of seats if the size of the hall
would have permitted it. Thomas had not been
here for several years. with the exception of a
concert given last Christmas eve understand
that he has prejudice against the city, because
there are people here-as there arc everywhere.
but here more than anywhere else, he thinks
who cannot, or will not, come to a concert at
the proper time and who insist upon entering
the room while piece is being performed
When he was here last he stopped the orchestra
three times on this account SO-caed leaders
of society are said to have offended in this re-
spect more than ordinary people. The gossps
point to the wife OF an ex-Secretary of the NAVY
as one who brought down upon herself the in
dignafion OF all true lovers Of music and others
who still think it decent to be in time at q house
to which you have been invited or at public
place where your late entrance can only create
disappointment and annoyance. The lady in
question is said to have given rise to much COM
ment again by entering into dispute with
dOOrkeeper at one of the Baltimore concerts. in
whom, however, she found her match, as he
neither allowed her to enter nor leave before
the number then being performed had been

Evolution and Religion.

The naturalist of these days, when so much
light has been thrown upon the laws of varia-
ton and hered;ty BY men of heaven-born genius,
may be thankful that he was born In the days of
evOlutiOnal philosophy, which has thrown. and
is still to throw food of light upon what were
before the dark ways of nature. And here let
it be said that, so far from leading to agnostic-
ism and materialism there are now sufficient
facts on record in biology and pal@ontology,
which, If handled by modern Paley or Butler
would vindicate, by the strongest cumulative
proof, the fact of the existence of nower out
side Of nature, who has not only appointed the
orbits of the planets but laid out the develop
mental paths leading from monad to man.

1t was expected that the stockholders Of the
Metropolitan, who had good music at Abbey's
expense, would be first to come forward and pay
large sums for the use Of their own boxes at his
benefit. The tickets for each box were sent to
the box owner with the request that he should
pay whatever he thought proper Vanderbilt,
as has been recorded. sent 81, 600 at once, al
though he did not attend the opera half dozen
times and does not know one tune from an
other. After Vanderbilt's check, curiosity
among the Abbey people was intense as to what
the Astors and Goulds would send. Both fam
lilies had boxes, both were rich, and both were
constant attendants at the opera. They were
expected to do at least as much as Vanderbilt
At last, one morning two days before the bene-
fit, the two envelopes arrived. Mr.. Tillotson,
Abbeys right-hand man, surrounded by an eX-
pectant group. opened the Astor note and gazed
blankly at $50 check. the regular subscription
price Of a box. The check was passed around as
a curiosity. and it was resolved to keep the mat
ter from Abbey. who was sick in bed. Then
GOuld's envelope was opened. 1t was heavy

no more than check for $50 Mr. Gould sent
back his tickets with a note saying that he
