THE REVIVAL.

Last night at the Baptist church Rev.
Hurlbut preached very earnest and i'm
pressive discourse. After the following
announcements without further introduce
lion the evangelist proceeded with his
sermon. Prayer meeting every morning
at $50 a. M; inquiry meeting at $50 p. m.
The subject of tonights discourse Future
Punishment Fact" and Thursday night
Who is Responsible for future punish
ment:n
The subject for last nights discourse
was "What Think Ye OF Christi" The
speaker said that this was of the most i'm
portant questions that could be posi-
bly, asked. and one which individual
before him must answer before the bene
diction should be pronounced. He said
that he intended to make it a personal
question to every one in the congregation.
What think We of Christi Every one
thinks something of Christ. No one VINO
thinks as highly of Christ as he ought to
think will be found in the bar room, nor
with euchre deck in his hand, nor the
billiard cue, nor will he be found in the
dancing hall. If you thought as much of
the Lord Jesus Christ as you Dug hit to
think, | should not have to urge you to
come out to the morning prayer meeting.
How can Christians.sit still and allow the
blessed name of Christ to be defameds
Do you think as much of Christ as you
ought to when you are at a modern
dance? Do you think as much Of Christ
as you ought to when you are at ''digres-
sive" euchre party God help you to come
to the cross of Christ and acknowledge
Him, ''the chief among ten thousand and
the one altogether lovely" What do you
think of Christ? This is the most impor-
tant question. 1t makes no difference
what Others may think of Christ. 1t is
personal matter with each one you. You
say, ooh. don't be in hurry. Give us
time to answer this question" am Gods
messenger | cannot give you lease oh
life In Gods name answer now. You
must answer. Will you wait until tomor-
row? VIII you wait until the eye grows
dim? Until the death sweat gathers
on the brow? Until the brain
reels in the hour of death? until the spirit
is ready to take it's fight? The evangelist
grew more and more eloquent and i'm
pressive as he proceeded, until the close of
his discourse.
After singing "Just as I am, Without
one Plea" eighty persons testified to what
they thought of Christ in the space of fif-
teen minutes, often two or three persons
rose to speak at the same time. Several
went forward for prayers and ten rose in
the congregation.

GARFIELD POST.

Garfield post had very pleasant meet
ing last night. During the routine work,
Judge Campbell made some very sensible
remarks, indeed, on the ever-present,
always-recurring pension question. After
the post closed, the Woman's Relief corps
came in, and a very pleasant social time
resulted. Comrades Eggleston, Owen and
Durand We're appointed committee to
escort the ladies from the court house,
where they had met, these gentlemen be-
ing the best looking men in the house.
Mrs. Simson officiated at the piano, and
vocal music was furnished by Mesdames
Downing, Dillon, Dutton, Durand, Wallace
and Rochelle. A number of gentlemen
made speeches on the work of the Woman's
Relief corps, and the evening proved
very pleasant one for all present.

TEWELRY THIEVES.

Yesterday, shortly after noon, Mrs
Slough. wife of one of the proprietors of
the Hotel Carey, had stolen from her room
three diamond rings and gold watch,
worth in all about $500. Mrs. Slough had
gone from her room, leaving it in charge
of the chambermaid, Anna johnson, and
when she returned to the room the jewelry
was gone. There was no one within ex-
cept this girl and a colored waiter, George
Conway.
Mr.. Slough Immediately sent for the
sheriff and handed the two suspected par
ties over TO the authorities. Conway was
brought to the sheriffs office and from
there to the county Jail, where he awaits a
hearing. He refuses to tex much of any
thing about the affair. He acknowledges
that he entered the room to see the cham
bermaid, who, he says, is his wife, but will
not acknowledge that he had anything
whatsoever to do with the disappearance
of the jewelry.

TOUGHS.

The police are complaining considerably
of the great number of vagabonds, beggars
and toughs upon the street. They say,
that even if we do arrest them there is
nothing to be done but to lock the scamps
up in the city prison and feed them az the
city's expense Some of them are not by
any means averse to this and will even
make an effort to fall into the hands of the
police in order to get the cooler for bed
and meal. What we need is something
for these fellows to do. in order to make
them earn their living. Then we can and
will make more arrests. There are now
i'll the lookup thirteen of these men. All
have to be fed at the expense of the city"
The officer who thus gave vent to his
feeling had just returned from the lock up
to the police court room after putting III
five of as tough looking specimens of
humanity as can be found anywhere In
the gang was found about 60 cents
all in five and ten cent pieces which they
had made during the evening by begging.
All were more or less intoxicated and all
were, according to their own story, as in
nocent and harmless beings as ever lived:
in fact, it seemed almost a pity to put such
unfeeling gang in the cooler.
A baker employed on East Douglas ave
nue. was going home after his days work,
and when at the corner of Fourth and
Douglas he was approached by man who
asked him for money. He refused to give
it, and as soon as he had gotten within the
shade of the building he was struck and
knocked down. He was not. however,
knocked senseless, and commenced crying
for the police. This spoiled the little
game of the foot pads and just as the police
were on the ground they saw the assail
ants running away. 1t is not definitely
known who are the assailahts, but it is
thought that some of the gang captured
had something to do with the affair
Almost at the same place man named
Hines, employed at the Manhattan, was
held up and some money taken from him.
The man who did it has been arrested and
gives the name of George Hennnessy. 1t
is thought that he was implic ated in the
robbery of the old Irishman, John Tehan,
last Sunday

HE TALKS OF THE THIRD WARD.

'How about this Third ward politics?'
said one yesterday with glasses for taking
observations on the political situation
No one seems to want the office of coun-
Gilman there and / reckon it will go by de-
fault and Brown will hold over | wonder
If that's the law in the case. | guess it
must be that way. The old councilmen
however, seem to be getting it in the neck.
But suppose this does not apply to the
Third.
"You bet your life there is scheme work
ing. The man who imagine is going to
run is now registering his friends and will
not announce until after registra-
ton closes. You see he don't
want any excitement. BY registering
friends he may be able to get there no
matter if only one-tenth people want him
see" About this time a gentleman
came up and addressing the fellow look
ing over the situation asked if he YVES not
a Third warder. He was given the affirma-
tive answer and he pulled from his pocket
q petition asking Mr. j. c. Rutan to be
candidate for council. The petition had
been in circulation but a few hours and
showed number of names. Mr.. Rutan
it seems IS not candidate but it is not
known what effect the petition will have
on him.

ADJUSTMENTS
THE MUSEUM.

Last night this popular family resort
was crowded to witness the comic panto-
mime of ''Humpty Dumpty" and Lotta's
sensational drama, ''The Little Detective"
The little favorite, Miss May Smith, won
fresh laurels as 'The Little Detective
and her songs and dances were encored to
the echo. Mr.. Charles Ellis rendered the
character of Barry Mallinson" in his
usual creditable manner. Mr. Ellis is an
actor of considerable merit and is pains
taking it every character he portrays. Mr..
Dave McCord was in his usual happy vein
and as 'Ludovic'' contributed greatly to
the merriment of the evening. "Humpty
Dumpty' keeps the audience intensely
amused all through his rambles. This
weeks bill is pronounced an extremely
good one and will be rewarded with in
creased patronage. Manager Robbins is
preparing to put in a number of freaks
new to the city and in other ways improve
his entertainments

PLOW FACTORY.

The Gilbert pillow factory will soon be
ready for business. The engine was start
ed yesterday and everything moved along
smoothly. Nearly all the machinery has
been put IN place and patterns are being
made The delay has in the main been the
result of slow freight and above all it has
been the care to have all machinery
adjusted properly.
Mr.. Gilbert says he will be out with his
plows in time to catch some of the spring
trade The work has took him much
longer than he expected, but he says he
will try and make up for lost time.
