When DIR. Lyman Beechcr published
his usix Sermons on Intemperance,
he thought they might do a little
good work in Connecticut: but the
umrmons' have wrought great deeds
among all English.speaking people.
A copy OF the Sermons found i
way into the house of drunken
Scotch cobbler, james Stirling, OF
Milngvie. One Saturday night, on
returning home from the publichouse,
where he had been carousing, he over
heard his wife reading, as her custom
was, chapter Of the New Testament
to the children. The chapter was the
twenty.hfth OF Matthew, in which is
tho parable Of our Lord concerning
the separating OF the sheep from the
goats. :.

into his mothers face.
The poor woman was bewildered

s85 538 It will be noticed that, as for some
months past IL is the roads that run porth and
south which are showing increased earnings,
but probably the east-and-west lines will show
better results this month.
The most significant improvement in loco
motives the last few years has been indicated
in their weight. A passenger engine with IL
inch cylinder, 63inch wheels, and weighing
96, 900 pounds would few years ago have been
considered enormously heavy. and dangerous to
run over bridges at any speed. But now Is per
cent of the new passenger engines built weigh
90, 600 to 81, 900 pounds and the Pennsylvania is
running some divisions of its system
locomotives which weigh 104 900 pounds empty.
The increased weight makes the engines safer,
as boilers and every part are made in q more
substantial manner, and the engines are less
liable to sudden failure than were the light en-
eines run IN years past No claims that
the engines now run can make faster time with
a light train than the old-time engines on the
Madison & Indianapolis road, tho ''Gazelle" and
the Chief or on the Decline the wisconsin"
and "Massachusetts;- but attach the same en-
gnss to the heavy trains to-day and they would
make poor Roadway.

Trustee Gapen Objects to q Bill Contracted
by Trustee Harrison.
There was time when Trustee Gapen, of the
Insane Hospital, would not have been so tena-
cious over a matter of law as he was yesterday
in protesting against an item of sSS15l for
Brussels carpets lace curtains and other lux
uries for Superintendent Galbraiths Office.
Gapen says Trustee Harrison bought these
goods without consulting his fellow-mem oers,
or even advertising for bids, as the law directs,
but Eastman, Scbleicher e. Lee, from whom
they were purchased, claim that they were con-
tracted for after the usual forms had been oh
served The relations between Harrison and
Galbraith on one side and Gapen on the other
are badly strained. The item not being counted
in the audited account. the hospital was yester-
day allowed $50, 7S5. 06 for maintenance during
the month of August.
