Rev. DR.. Neil.

Rev. DR.. Neil, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church, preached last Sabbath
on 1.-The Parable Of the Rich Man and
Lazarus" The sermon was most appro-
pirate in these days OF Mammon worship
and effort to serve God and Mammon.
The contrasts between the two charac-
tiers, and between the first and second
acts OF the drama, were vivid and i'm
pressiye. The rich man. in the first act,
withholGs the crumbs which fall from his
table; In the second act, the beggar, In
Abraham's bosom, refuses the petition
OF the rich man to dip his finger In
water to cool the parched tongue of the
once scornful nabob for a few days on
earth. The over-estimate OF rIches-in
fact, the utter vanity of wealth In the
last extremity could but seize the mind
Of hearer, while poverty, though
excluding the faithful from the
sympathy or recognition of even
pretended Christians Of affluence,
1t WAS seen, is no barrier to the favor
Of God or TO the tender care of the
bright angel band.
DR.. Neil IS of distinct and clear
enunclatiOn, grave and earnest. His
purpose is to come to the point without
decentralization or Uuch ceremony.
SententiOus breyity at times marks his
conversation In private. But he Is ever
intent on his work as a minister Of the
Gospel.

A New Motor.

What surprises there are in modern
chemistry! tits now claimed that harm
less looking substance soda can be so
manipulated that 1t may be converted
into powerful motor. A car is run
from State street, Chicago, the motive
power OF which Is soda. 1t does not re-
quire any fire, is noiseless, emits no
offensive smells, has no exhaust stack or
steal whistle to brighten horses, and
makes fully as good time as the old
fashioned steam dummy. 1t takes only
IL minutes to charge il, and it will run
continuously for six hours after it is
loaded. The Boston and Albany Rail-
road Company Is also building forty

through Boston; similar machine is in
successful use upon road in England,
and company in Minneapolis is about
to close contract that will supply all

The Ambulance

This ia a modern invention of French
origin. In ancient times the wounded
were left to die on the battlefield, but
war now has the ameliorating influence
Of surgery. There are two kinds In use,
The heavy ambulance Is left with the
baggage. while the light one moves the
battlefield in order to convey the
wounded 10 the rear. Each ambulance Is
attended by seven surgeons, and the
largest are drawn by four horses. A
surgeon on horseback guides the others
to some place where field hospital is
displayed, which protects the spot from
the fire ofthe enemy. Baron Larrey who
reached distinction In surgery during
Napoleon's war, organized the smbul-
ance system with great perfection, and
Ii Is now in use all over the civilized
world.-Rochester Chronicle.

A DEGRADED HUSBAND.
Making a Prostitute of His Wife
to Lead an Easy Life.


About six weeks ago young able
bodied man, we'll dressed and rather
good looking. named James W. Coffey,
came to Los Angeles. accompanied by
his youthful and pretty wife. Instead
of seeking employment he preferred
placing her in a house of shame and tax.
ing away her earnings of sin as quick as
she made them. Coffey did nothing
more than what such debased fellows
generally do--that is, live on the fat of
the land. He made his wife change her
residence twice, but her room was every
time in house of prostitution. Among
Coffey's minor vices was that of smokir 6
opium, and it brought him to grief.
Yesterday evening, accompanied by his
w fe, he went to corral on San Pedro
street, in which there is an opium JOINT.
He forthwith proceeded to hit the pipe,
but was caught by Officer Bosqui. who
had been shadowing him. The officer,
besides the prisoner. brought the smok-
ing outfit to the police station. Being
unable to deposit 500 cash for his APP
pearance, Coffey was locked up. This
degraded fellow, who is only "a years OF
age and native of Missouri, married
his wife, whose first name is Cora, In
