CarefuIness of Cleveland.

The Washington Capital tells the
following story of President Cleve-
lands carefulness in one instance: /
heard a good story illustrating the
care that President Cleveland exercises
before approving bills which are sen.
to him by congress. The late Senator
Miller OF California had been much in.
terested in the passage OF a bill for the
relief of certain informers, whose
claims accrued while he was collector
of the port of San Francisco. Afte,'
his death the fact that he had been III
terested in the bill was quite infiuea-
tial in securing it's passage in beth
houses. When it reached the PEST.
dent he looked into it with his usual
care and discovered that some
$500 which the bill appro-
priated, had already been paid to the
parties. When Representative FELTON,
went to urge the President to approve
the bill he was informed of that fact
and told that it would be necessary
to have the money refunded, and that
if it was not refunded he would becom-
PEELED to veto the bill. Mr. FELTON,
went away and returned on the ninth
day after the bill reached the Presi-
dent, and again spoke about the mat
ter. Mr. Cleveland then told HIM that
he would insist on the payment OF the
money, and that If Mr.. FELTON, chose
To give his check to that amount,
which was Ss03.96, he would approve
the bill, but otherwise he would GER
tainly veto it. Mr.. FELTON, thereupon
gave his cheek for the amount, which
was turned into the treasury, and the
president signed the bill.

The Modern Evangelist,

Burdette in the Brooklyn Eagle.
My son, / observe that you are
pleased to be little bit sarcastic on
thesubiect ofthe modern evangelist"
You sneer at him, because, unlike
Philip the evangelist, he carefully
avoids the way (which is DESERT" and
refuses to preach, save in the great
cities, in the busy centers of religious
activity, where there are great multi
tudes and much applause, and,
as you hold, some gain. All this
is undoubtedly true. The evange.
list of to-day loves crowd.
He knows the value of a huge
audience and rafting fusilades OF APP
plause. He will not go into the des.
ert on the chance o. converting a sin
gle sinner from far away Ethiopia,
but don't you see, he can fire his Cos
pei battery into a whole regiment OF
sinners by going to town? As he does
not have the power that certain old.
fashioned preachers had some 1000
years ago, of drawing a multitude af-
ter him into the wilderness, he wisely
goes after the multitude. But then,
my boy, so do the eloquent preachers
of no religion. So do these learned
and unselfish men who teach suffering
humanity that the evangelist Is fraud
and all religion a sham. They like
wise seek the city and the multitude,
and, not having the faith in the finan-
cial liberality of their audiences that
the evangelist has in his, these re-
formers fear to lean upon the much
despised collection and so charge so
cents at the door, No ticket, no lib
eral theology It is only the gospel
that is free from all, my son. Now,
do let the evangelist have his way, as
well as that ''reformer." Let him go
where the crowd is. He won't hurt
the crowd. He doesn't teach the
multitude to do anything wrong.
Herr Most didn't get into jail for lis
tening to Sam Jones. The Chicago
anarchists were not the outgrowtl of

elder, no Methodist class leader, no
Baptist deacon has been indicted for
throwing bombs at the police. There
may have been an infidel or two,

haps, mixed up in that crowd ofanar.
chists; | do not positively know, but
there may have been; you can easily
ascertain. But / do know that the
deacon and the elder weren't there.
None of Sam Jones converts were
there. The evangelist may HAYES some
Odd, rough, funny ways of teaching,
out he doesn't teach evil. He doesn't
persuade men TO do wrong. He does
not lift up his voice and cry aloud for
ree whisky and no Sunday. 1t is true
that he gets paid for his preaching.
out it seems to me, my son, that
some kinds of preaching are worth
paying for as well as others.

Americas Catholic orator.

Baltimore Letter to Pittsburg Dispatch
Archbishop Ryan, OF Philadelphia,
who is universally conceded to be the
most eloquent speaker in the Ameri-
can Catholic church, is known as tthe
golden tongued orator." and the
"Bossuet of the Missouri" He is fully
six feet, six inches in height, stout in
proportion, has large head, covered
with very red, coarse hair, and
broad, rosy face, whose every Inca
ment is that of son OF the Emerald
Isle. Any one who has heard Arch,
bishop Ryan speak will understand
why he is called ''the golden tongued
orator" As he enters the pulpit
his commanding figure centers at
tention at once. He reads the text in
a voice low, sweet and mellow. Then
he folds his arms and looks earnestly
at the congregation for fully half a
minute. The exordium of his sermon
is delivered in calm conversational
tone, and if a listener departed at this
juneture he would wonder how the
Archbishop got a reputation for elo-
quence. just wait, however, until the
prelate passes into the argument and
the appeal to the feelings and the pc
roration, and you will hear such elo-
quence as seldom proceeds from the
pulpit. The voice is somewhat wond-
erful. 1t is perfect in information all the
way. up from the mellow telling of the
text to the passionate ring of the pc
roration. Forgetting all about the sub
stance OF his sermons-and that is the
point on which hangs his "Bossuet"
reputation-any one who loves sweet
sounds would gladly spend an occa-
sional hour merely listening to his
voice. This may sound like the Ian
guage of exaggeration, but all Phila-
delphians and st. Louslans will testi-
fly to its accuracy. The Archbishop
gained a great reputation for elo-
quence even while he was studying at
the seminary. On several occasions
Archbishop Kenrick called him to the
pulpit in st. Louis Cathedral while
young Ryan was only in deacon's or
ders-a very unusual honor, indeed.
After ordination the reputation of the
young priest spread, and he was soon
made coadjutor. He has been for
twenty years the regular orator at all
great church events.
