THE MEETING OF TWO STATES
MEN.
How 1t Strikes DIR. Collier.

The Rev. DR.. Robert Collier in the
church of the Messiah, New York, Sun
day, Dec. 10. selected for his text a
passage from that portion of the book
of Kings where Jehu in bidding ia
honadab good-by said, ais thine heart
right If it be, give me thy hand"
In introducing his sermon DR.. COllyer
said that the forefathers called hand
shake "handfast," as the shake of the
hand was the outward expression of
an honest heart. He continued "The
thought came to me quite naturally, as
it may have come to you when you
read the story some days ago touching
the men of great eminence in the ma
ton who have been good friends, as
friendship stands among those who
want to stand highest among us by
bling on the shoulders of their fell
lows, how they met in company and
one held out his hand, cOmrade fash
ion, but the other, saying no word,
simply refused the grip, because he
had good reason to know that there
was no truth of the heart in it or loyal
ty. And the question has been limited
at our firesides and in the marts of
business as well as by the journals that
help to do our thinking for us, while
we have drawn our own conclusions
very much as we found ourselves on
this or that mans side of the question,
that has far wider reach, and, as we
think Il deeper one. 1t may be no Sc
cret, also, that my own heart has not
been drawn latterly to the man who
stood there quietly and held back his
hand for the reason we have heard Of.
/ 70 Ia In nt
and remains with him so far for what
he did that day. 1t was a brave thing
to do, and true, and holds the lesson
we may all lay to our hearts, that of
loyalty of man to man. | said that we
imagine other questions touching such
men so far wider and deeper; wider
they may go, deeper they cannot go,
if your American citizen of eminence
or lowliness is to be also gentleman
of real honesty without fear and with
out reprOach.
move no previous question, but
take up the question just as it stands.
He might be right in the thing he had
done, who held out his hand for hand
fast, and he may have been in the
wrong before this one who stood still
and would give neither grip or word
VI Dun vi ClldU anu
what was done the man was false to
his mankind if what he had written
could be proven, and his longtime
friend was there and then who was his
friend no more. 1t was no more a
question of good manners but of truth
in the inward parts and sincerity and
loyalty to word and deed. And so 1
said the truth stands as good for one
time as for any and all time. Here is
the truth to be made good again, as it
seems, by much reiteratiOn, that
must also bestow good heed how l
give my hand when l cannot give
something from my heart with it.
When my fellow man has good reason
to know when this is the truth about
hand-fast, he must not accept it, but
must refuse the sign and pledge. And
apart from all questions that go be-
fore or come after, the gentleman who
drew back the other day did the true
thing then and there"

Senator Evarts as a Swell.

Senator Evarts is growing younger
in his personal appearance. He dis
carded his SLOUGH hat and blOssomed
out in a new silk tile about year ago,
since which time other changes have
been noticeable, until now the New
York senator is one of the greatest
swells in point of dress in the senate
rial body. A group of Mr.. Evarts's
colleagues were chatting in the cloak
room when some allusiOn was made to
the new hat which Mr.. Evarts had re-
Gently purchased.
"That reminds me-" said one of the
number, "of a clever remark Mr.. Ev-
arts once made to Gen. Garfield. 1t
was the day following the Inauguration
of that gentleman. All of Mr.. Hayes's
retiring cabinet had called to pay their
respects to the new president. When
Mr.. Evarts started TO leave the room
his hat could not be found. Gen. Gar
field kindly assisted him in the search.
Never mind. Mr.. President said Mr.
Evarts sOlemnly, sit isn't of much use
to me now
"'Why notT exclaimed Gen. Gar
field.
Because was the reply, 'Pve just
lost my head"

Garfield and Arthur are dead. COnk-

nObody's way and is very polite, LO-
gan, Sherman and Harrison are con-
tent to leave each others state uncul-

the people are wishing it back, now
why not have "peace meet" and in
dulge friendly smoke, "burn this
letter." bring in the mugwumps, who
are becoming distrustful of Cleveland,
put the party on high moral and pro-
gressive grounds, in other words bid
for republican votes and not for I'M
certainties, and thus reunite all the
unselfish, patriotic, enlightened and
trustworthy forces of society, so that
our party will indeed be the "grand
old party" and our battles will be
against the enemy and for victoryq

Committee on Sewers.

A meeting of the Committee on Sewers was held last evening at which parties inter ested in the following sewers appeared and were heard:
 Sewer in Gregory street from Dixwen ave- nue to Canal street. The principal petition CTS for this sewer were the Board of Educa- tion represented by Secretary Day. They asked that the sewer be built to accommo- date the new school building on that street Andrew McManus also favored it, while R. F. Baldwin opposed it. In executive session the committee voted to recommend that the sewer be built.
 Sewer in Forster street from Lawrence to Edwards street. No one appeared in opposi- ton and it was voted to recommend that the sewer be built.
 Sewer in Wooster street from Union to Olive streets. Voted to recommend that the petitioners have leave to withdraw.
 Extension of boulevard sewer from Co1um- bus avenue northward. Councilman Felix Chillingworth appeared in favor of the peti- tion. He stated that the sewer was very much needed. Property in that section of the city had depreciated and the health of the people was endangered by the emptying of the almshouse sewer into an open cesspool or bayou on the bank of the river He urged that if the buleyard sewer could rot be extended this year for lack of funds that the committee recommend that the Board of Finance include the cost of the ex- tension in their estimate for next year.
 Eugene Hill said the boulevard sewer would not probably be extended beyond Kimberly avenue this year. Before it was extended as proposed in the petition it would be nec- essary to straighten West river from the point where it is now contracted for, to the Derby railroad.
 The matter was tabled for two weeks.

A Physician's wife Cured by Dr. Hem
 ion of IOQ Orange Street.

Mrs. Dr. O. H. Stevens, of Bradford, Yer mont, was great sufferer from retroversion and neuralgia of the womb, nervous dyspep- sia and spinal irritation. During the fifteen months previous to consulting Dr. Henion she was under the treatment of three physi- cians without benefit and despaired of ever being permanently helped. For several months before calling on Dr. Henion she was unable to walk and suffered continuously. She was conveyed to Dr. Henion's office and carried into the hotel. As soon as the doctor saw her he told her that she could be rad ically and permanently cured. Within forty eight hours Mrs. Stevens began to improve and continued to gain from day to day. In a shert time she walked for more than an hour, to the surprise and qualification of her rela- tives and friends. In less than a week she returned home well woman and has con tinued to enjoy perfect health since. This is only one of the hundreds of severe cases cured by Dr. Henion at 109 Orange street. Diseases of every name and nature yield at once to his marvellous and uuerring skill
