TALMAGE'S INCOME.
How the Famous Brooklyn Preacher Can
Make Both Ends Meet.


Talmage's income is large. and he
has probably turned his reputation in
to larger substantial gain than any
public man of The day His salary as
pastor of the Tabernacle is twelve
thousand dollars per year. while his
lecturing receipts are fully twice that
amount. AS he is the most popular
lecturer in the country, his services
are everywhere sought and he can
afford to ask high prices. For the ex-
elusive control of his sermons, in adj
vance of the regular publication as
reported upon their delivery, he re-
ceives from New York firm a yearly
amount nearly as large as his salary.
AS editor of popular monthly
he receives five thousand dollars,
while his marriage fees runs as
high as two hundred and
fifty dollars for single ceremony.
His Friday evening lectures are also
syndicated to a large number of pa
pers, and for this he gets regular
stipend. Then he has roy atty on his
published books and receives very
large sums for doing odd literary work
whenever he has the time Offers of
this kind come to him by every mail.
Only recently he declined an offer of
one hundred and fifty dollars per week
for irregular newspaper letter on cur
rent topics. Talmage's expenses are,
of course, large. His family live and
no hos of
a daughter of marriageable age.
and must meet many of the thousand
and one demands that are made upon
public man. He carries an insur-
ance on his life of over seventy five
thousand dollars. and the premiums
on these alone is consid cradle
sum. Nevertheless, having a shrewd
and careful wife. he is enabled to lay
by several thousands of dollars each
year, and were Talmage to die to-
day, his family would be more than
comfortably fixed for the rest of their
lives He is thoroughly devoted to
his family, and it is mainly for them
and their future ease and happiness
in this world that he is working so in
dustriously.
Talmage may be full of eccen-
tricities; he NAV be misjudged by
thousands, but of the sincerity of his
motives there is no doubt in the
minds of those who are privileged to
see him in his private life. and who
thus know him as he is. He is gener-
Gus to the extreme, open-hearted and
friend. = EdaOord irving, IN albany

THURMAN SURE or IT.
Nobody is able 10 perceive contingency
likely TO throw the convention into u
struggle over the vice presidency. Gov.
Gray's friends have all along had two
grounds OF hope that they might eventual
ly win. One OF these was the attitude OF
the Ohio delegation, and II is q singular
fact that the movement to bring the Old
Roman from his retirement came near be-
ing strangled in his own State. IL is
claimed that majority OF the Ohio dele
CATION are really against Thurman, 10 this
day, anc are accepting him because the
country is fairly forcing him upon them.
ONO was brought over 10 the Thurman
standard, however, Monday night, and to.
day the delegation having perceived that
the nomination was inevitable, passed
Thurman resolution much stronger and
more satisfactory than the one on Monday
night. The Gray men also had some
hopes that by making a courageous stand
they could hold in line the friends Of all
the other candidates, thus preventing
Thurman getting two-thirds on the iirst
ballot. But the unit rule has been adopted
by the Thurman majority in six or eight of
the States, thus forcing the minority to
help swell the votes for the iavorite, and
practically destroying the last hope Of the
supporters Of Governor Gray. There have
been rumoB OF combinations 10 bring
Carlisle or Dickinson into the contest, but
the friends Of both deny that any effort is
being made in their behalf Senator Noor-
hecs says the question whether Gray's
name shall be placed in nomination is to
he decided tomorrow morning.

tween Congressman Scott and Senator Cor
man, when Il came 20 vote on the chair

throwing hfs strength 10 German for

strength Of this combination, IL lacked one
vote OF majority, and the extreme tariff

OF the committee.
