1t was the 'fushest" kind of a flush"
time. The years 1852 and 1853, especially
the latter, were years of rapid growth as
well as unexampled prosperity. Every
thing iourished. Fortunes were made in
G day. Some idea of the ease with which
money was gained and the prodigality
with which 1t WAS spent may be derived
from the following entries in an old ledger
of a general store of that period: ''One
candle, So; l dozen French sardines, S35;
2 white shirts, $40; 200 pounds of white
-four, $3.50; l fine tooth comb, SO: / tin
pan, 50; / barrel of mess pork, S210."
Whisky was 90 cents a drink, and butch
ers' knives, with which miners picked
gold from the crevices of the rocks, sold
for $50 eR " Adventures. villains and

The Value of Advertising.


IF you will tramp the city over and take
notice of the business places you will find
that where the show windows are finest, the
stock of goods the freshest and the statesmen
the quickest to make sales" The speaker
was a joker and we checked him TO ask what
kind of a patent medicine 'ad' he was going
to spring on us. We were fooled, for in all
seriousness he continued: ''There You will
find an advertiser" We all agreed, and an
mother friend said he had another way Of
telling. IF you will rio from Ashland
avenue to State street and count the mercan-
tile houses having electrical lights l will
venture that you can find the ads of nine
out of ten by searching the morning and
evening papers"
We were standing in a cigar store and
the proprietor said he could go us one better.

A novel bet was won and lost in q Vine
street resort the other evening. q party
of gentlemen were INDUCING in a social
glass, and finally the conversation turned
upon the quality of liquors and the ability
of certain persons to judge them by the
sense of smell and taste. One man in the
party claimed that the best judges could
be fooled by the compounders, and, after
the argument became quite warm, made
the astounding assertion that a large per-
centage of bar patrons did not know what
they were drinking.
The debate grew hotter and hotter, and
finally the man who had advanced such
outrageous ideas offered to bet a basket
of wine that he could confound any one of
the party so that he could not tell water
from whisky. John Hummel, the circus
man, who has had a varied experience in
the drinking fine, accepted the wager, and
the preliminaries began. John was first
heavily blindfolded, and then a number of
glasses, containing water, milk, whisky,
sherry, %claret, Rhine wine and gin were
set out on the bar. They were handed to
the blindfolded man one at o time, and he
was told to name the liquor after tasting
it. He got through the list bravely until
he came to the gin, which he called port
wine. Then the man started him back,
but it was soon very evident hat Hum
mel's palate had lost its power. BE called
milk water, and finally was forced to ad-
nit that all the liquors tasted alike. and
that he had lost his bet. 1t was some
time before'he was able to enjoy the wine
he had lost.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cost of Getting the News.

Mr.. Eugene NJ. Camp, who has collected
the statistics for America On this point, says,
through The American, that the entire cost
of all news used in the papers in this country
is $40, 655, 900 per year. This is curiously di-
vided. The special bureaus, which are prin-
cipally located in New York, with the right
to look over the proofs every night of some
of the morning journals, cost S345, 900. This
is divided among 100 of the leading provin-
cial papers. The business of the Associated
Press now oun to 81, 25O, 900 yearly, and
that of the United Press foots up to $3.50, 900.
These two sums, with the special outlay for
telegraph tolls outside of the organizations,
place the total to all the papers of 81, 800, 900
for this department. In addition to this
there are to be reckoned the special services
of professional correspondents in adjacent
towns and important %centers, whose salaries
aggregate 81, 100000 beside. This makes the
total cost of all the service about $3.50, 600
per annum.
In the larger cities of the Union it costs
all the way from $500 to $4,000 a week for
the working up of local districts. Mr.. Camp
reckons this yearly expense at about $15,-
100000. This is a correct analysis of the ex-
pense in collecting news and the proportion
in which one branch of the service is related
to the other. There are three lines on which
this work proceeds-the gathering of news
by the local reporter, the use of the telegraph
and the special correspondent. Each method
is closely related to tho other. The state
ment shows that there has been a great devel-
opment of journalism in the matter of news.
Every effort is made to get the news and one
combination only paves the way for another
in order to keep the lead in this department
of a newspaper. The greater the combina-
ton, the greater the result, and the paper
that has the news Is the one that tha puhlic 10

near the trout entrance shows it to be

''Rev. VIM. d. Roberts, pastor.'' Mr.
Roberts is the gentleman who was
mixed up in the recent assault made by
the Misses Ferguson on j. Nj. Haw-
thorne, and when he entered the pulpit
yesterday morning he was faced by a
much larger audience than the custom
ary Sunday morning gathering. There
was no particular explanation as to why
there should be more people there than
usual, although the suppositton was
that strangers were drawn thither by
desire to see the principals in the
LATE SENSATIONAL EPISODE.
But they were generally disappointed,
as neither the Misses Ferguson nor Mr.
hawthorne were present, and Rev. Mr..
Roberts conducted the service and de-
livered the sermon in his customary
manner. He directed his flock with all
his talented Vigor. and his flock seemed
to listen to his words with all rever-
ence. A reporter for the GLOBE
met one of the elders of the church
after the service, and a lengthy
conversation with him about the "late
unpleaSantneSS." No one regrets the
action of those girls more than do"
said he, land l am one who will go and
apologize to Mr.. Hawthorne for its oc-

head she will carry it out if possible.

TWO CANDIDATES PRESENTED
Between Whom Christians Must
Make q Choice

MANI d SHolCc.
Father Stanley preached the sermon
at the cathedral yesterday, taking for
his text: mo man can serve two mas
tiers, for he will hate the one and de-
spiSe the other, or hold to the one and
reject the other. You cannot serve God
and Mammon." The existence of moral
evil in this world was for a long time
the subject of dispute among learned
ancients, who formed for themselves
such an idea of God as the limited
capacity of their intellects would allow.
Many of the old pagan philosophers and
philosophers of Christian times, as well
in order to solve this riddle, declared
that there were two Creators, one all
good things. and the other all wicked
things. Divine revelation solved this
problem which veXed the minds of these
philosophers: teaching us that there is
but one Creator and Supreme Master.
The existence of moral evil in this
world is due to the creature himself:
not to the Creator. Man has been en-
dowed with free will and is therefore
capable of accepting or rejecting good.
They cannot serve God and at
the same time their own corrupt
natureS-their inordinate and un-
ruly desires. There is in our
hOdlto al oppOSlliOu SlIOllS anu UeC-
rlble against the laws which God has
has placed upon us, the result of the sin
committed by our first parents in the
garden of Eden. This inclination to do
wrong Is found in every human being.
The whole world rises up in opposition
to the law OF Almighty Cog. so in reality
there are two masters claiming our
obedience: one, the master who drew
us out of nothing; the other,
the ruler of darkness, Satan the
tempter. Two candidates are presented
for our obedience, God and the Devil.
What are their respective merits?
What has the Devil done for us? In the
garden Of paradise he tempted and
destroyed our first parents and from
state of perfect happiness which would
have been ours, he dragged them down
to state of unspeakable misery. The
Devil Is the inSidiouS, crafty spirit who,
III order to destroy Gods work in his
own creatures, raises up turmoil and
strife in nations, cause dissentionS in
the family circle and Sunders the
dearest ties of friendship. He is the
ruler of he'll and is ever seeking to
people his kingdom with souls.
Who is God? He is our father, our
preseryer, our redeemer, our daily and
hourly benefactor. He has given us
immortal souls that will live forever.
Every breath drawn is special privi-
lege of the author of our being. He is
the all-merciful father who, after his
children had disobeyed him, sent his
only begotton son to redeem us. Which
of these will you serve, God OF the
devil? We ought to serve God, but do
we? We know his commandments, but
are they kept? The commandments of
God are written in holy writ; the com
mandments of the devil are written in
the hearts of many christians.

The Number OF Niles the Hearts
Blood Travels in a Long Lifetime
Interesting Facts.
The mathematical fiend has recently
been at work upon the human heart.
His calculation is a curious one and
gives the work of the heart in
miles and beats. 1t is based upon
the presumption that the pulsations of
the cardiac organs are SiXty-nine each
minute, and the assumption that the
force of each pulsatiOn is nine feet.
Computed thus according to his figures,
the mileage of the blood through
the body might be taken as 207 yards
per minute, seven miles per hour, 1863
miles per day, 61,32O miles per year, OF
1922, 400 in a lifetime of three-score
years and ten. The number of beats of
the heart in the same long life would
reach the grand total OF 2,53S. .S4S, 900.

matter reaches that stage, will. doubt
less, be an interesting one, as the prin-
