hear of Lione- Lukenl He was the inventor
of the insubmergible life boat. All honor
is due to his memory by searfaring men, as
well as by landsmen. How many lives he
saved by his inventionl In after days that
invention was improved, and one day there
was a perfect life boat, the Northumber-'
land, ready at Ramsgate.. The life boat
being ready, to test it the crew came out
and leaped on the gunwale on one side to
seeif the boat would upset: it was impos-.
sible to upset it. Then, amid the huzsas Of
excited thousands, that boat was launched,
and it has gone and come, picking up
great many Of the shipwrecked. But
have to tell you now Of . grander launching,
and from the dry-docks Of Heaven Word

rocks. In the presence Of the potentates Of
Heaven the life boat Of the worlds redemp-

HastlngA England, The air was Allied with
sounds-the hoarse sea trumpet, the crash
Of the axes, and the believing Of the tor
nado. A boat from the shore came under
the stern Of the disabled vessel. There
were women and children on board that YES
sci. Some Of the sailors jumped into tho
small boat and said: SNOW give us the
children" A father who stood on
deck took his first born and threw
him to tho boat. The sailors caught
him safely, and the next, and the
next, to the last. Still the sea rocking, the
storm how ling. "Now," said the sailors,
''now the mother" and she leaped, and was
saved The boat went to the shore, but be-
fore it got to the shore the landsmen were
80 impatient to help the suffering people that
they wsded clear down into the surf with
blankets and clothing, and promises OF sue
cor. So there are families here who are go
ing to be saved, and saved altogether Give
US that child for Christ, and that other child,
that other Give US the mother, give US the
father, the whole family. They must all
come in. All heaven wades in to help you. l
claim this whole audience for God. ! pick
not out one man here nor one man there; l
claim you all. There are some OF you who,
thirty years ago, were consecrated to Christ
by your parents in baptism. Certainly am
not stepping over the right bound when l
claim you for Jesus. Then there are many
here who have been seeking God for q good
while, and am I not right in claiming you
for Jesus? Then there are some here who
have been further away, and you drink,
and you swear, and you bring up your
families without any God to take care OF
them when you are dead. And claim you,
my brother; claim all Of you. You will
have to pray some time; why not begin now,
while all the white and purple cluster OF
divine promise bend over into your cup
| rather than postpone your prayer until
your chance is past, and the night drops
and the sea washes you out, and the appal
ling fact shall be announced that notwith
standing all your magnificent opportunities
you have become castaway.

Rational Attention to Dress.

Appearances should not be wholly beneath
the consideration of any man. Nature does
not disdain them. Nothing is omitted that
can enhance its beauty, Every thing is
grouped and arranged with the most consum-
mate skin and with the direct and manifest
object Of pleasing exterior vision. The man.
therefore, who plays the philosopher on the
strength Of neglecting his attire, and who
hopes that the world will rate the superior
ity of his intellect in direct ratio with the
inferiority Of his hat is no philosopher at
all, because the true wise man thinks from
nature, through himself--N. Y. Ledger.

There Is nothing-no, nothing innocent
or good, that dies and is forgotten; let US

redeeming actions Of the world, though its
body be burned to ashes or drowned in the

TRAIN ROBBERS.
Nail and Express Robbed ON the
Fort Worth and Denver.

FORT WORTH, Tex, August 5.-Six
masked men stopped the Fort Worth and
Denver mail and express train south
bound, between Cheyenne water tank
and Tascosa, early yesterday morning.
Three men got on the locomotive and
compelled the engineer to pull away from
the passenger coaches, which had been
detached by the robbers and left under
guard of the other three. After going
half mile they compelled the engineer
to leave the locomotive and bring pick
to force open the door of the express car.
Express Messenger March, seeing what
was up, barricadedsthe door and secreted
all the express packages but three,
after which he let the robbers in
under threat of being shot. They
took the three packages, and then
compelled the mail agent to open the
door of the car. He had hidden all his
registered matter but one letter, under a
sack. The robbers got the one package,
and then opened and scattered the con-
tents of the mail pouches on the floor.
After deing their work they ordered the
engineer to pull out. When they were
gone the authorities in several neigh bor-
ing counties were notified, and are in
pursuit.
1t is said that the total amount stolen
is less than $4,000. The robbers fred
twenty or twenty-five shots into the mail
and express cars. The passengere were
greatly frightened, but none of them
were moleeted in any way.
WAS IT BLACK BART.
ST. LOUIS, August Sit is given out
on the authority of postofice Inspector,
whose headquarters are in this city, that
the famous bandit and train ropber,
Black Bart. was in St. Louis for ten DAYS
prior to last Friday, and it is suspected
that he had something to do with, if he
did not direct in person, the train rob.
bing at Kansas City last night. Bart
took his meals at tne Hotel Brunswick
restaurant while in the city, and accord
ing to the statements of the clerk
of the hotel he had cords
of money, which he displayed
ostentatiously and lost no opportunity to
surround himself with mystery. He did
not give his name, however, nor say
what business ne was engaged in, but
attempted to convey the idea that he was
far-w west farmer. He ordered large
lunch at the restaurant Friday evening

THE DOOMED CITY.
Spokane Falls Before and After the
Etre-List of Losses.

HELENA, MoNT., August 5.-Muct
comment has been excited here by the
extraordinary series of fires which has
been formed by confagrations in Wash.
ington. First came the fearful disaster
at Seattle, the chief city of the new State
From Seattle, in the west, it seemed as il
the fire had travelled directly east, for
Ellensburg, the fourishing inland city,
was nearly destroyed within the next
fortnight. Now in the extreme east
Spokane, which next to Seattle, is the
principal city of the State, suffers by a
far worse calamity.
SPOKANE FALLS AS SHE WAS.
Spokane was one of the most promi-
nent of the many new cities in the
infant State of Washington. Its situa-
tion is on the line of the Northern Pacific
railroad, close to the Cour d'Alene min
ing region. The city has been the site
for many large industrial establishments,
such as smelters and kindred enterprises
Expensive kindred edifces had also been
recently erected, and the population was
easily supporting two prosperous daily
papers.
THE BURNED DISTRICT.
The business district of Spokane was q
strip between the Northern Pacific rail-
road tracks and Spokane river. This
strip was five squares across and ex-
tended about seven squares in length. 1t
was solidly built up with brick and stone
structures, the cost of which varied from
$25, 900 to $l25, 900. Ten banking houses,
five hotels, opera house and many whole
sale establishments doing a business
estimated at half a million dollars each,
were situated within the district des-
cribed.
SUPPOSEDLY GOOD WATER WORKS.
The population of Spokane Falls is
10000. The city is possessed of sup.
posedly excellent water works, modelled
after the Holly system, with capacity
of 8 1000, 900 gallons daily.
There were no fire engines, but it was
believed that by the system in use five or
six good-sized streams of water could be
concentrated upon any block in case of a
fire. The fire department was volunteer
one.
THE PRINCIPAL LOSERS,
AS nearly as can be learned from the
reports that have reached Helena, were
the following: Holley, Mason, Marks &
Co., wholesale hardware, $125 900; "The
Great Eastern" wholesale and retail dry
goods, 500 600; Benham & Grifiths,
wholesale groceries, $4,000; Mason,
Smith & Co., $4,000; Pacific Hotel,
$4,000; Grand Hotel, $40 600; Windsor
Hotel, $25 900; Hyde block, $4,000 ;
Washington block, 5000; Cannon
block, $4,000; Crescent block, 10000 ;
Moore block, $4,000; First National
Bank block, $4,000; Wolverton block,
$25, 900; Frankfort block, $125, 900; Tull
block, $75 900.
The Northern Pacific railways loss is
variously estimated. The loss, including
freight in the warehouse, is estimated at
about 81 900, 900.
LIGHT INSURANCE.
As to insurance, the best information
here is that no large amounts were car.
