Pant. cost nE the Flood.

tecost had big congregation in Belleville Avenue Rink yesterday morning when he delivered what he termed ''Tardy Retlec- tions on the Johusto'An Disaster" He spoke as follows: This God that people talk about, this being who Is supposed to deal so largely in human affairs, is pure and simple invention. But ho Is mighty
 useful to the rich and cruel class They use him to blame all their wrong-doing ng upon. He keeps people poor; he kills peo- pie: ho does every thing but give people employ does that. That Is tho modern gospel.' He closed by saying he will be called an atheist and a blasphemer, but he does not care. ''It Is for me-" he exclaimed, ito speak the truth as see it."

A LIFE FOR A LIFE.

Rev. MT. Pincknsy Calls for the Blood of
 Murderer McDow.
 CHARLESTON, s. C., July 22.-The McDow verdict was the subject of discourses in most of the pu!plts here yesterday.
 At Grace Episcopal Church, the fashion able church of the city, Rev. Dr. Charles Cotesworth PincnIey said:
 ''The result of the recent trial in thls city seems to fall-vory short of any csnsure of homicide Tha. human life has been taken by violence is an acknowledged fact, and the tribunals of justice have no word of censure for the decd. The slayer Is restored to his place without condemnation of any sort, without tino, Imprisonment or any legal disapproval of the wrong.
 ''The murderer pollutes tho land beyond ali other evil deeds, and leaves an indelible stain in Gods sight Nor can this blood stain be obliterated until 1t is washed out with tho blood of him that shed 1t. Mercy to the murderer is cruelty to the comnuu- ity. Every deed of violence whether mur- der, manslaughter, or mob law, becomes tte seed of future crime, unless rcpressed by the majesty of the law"

 ''Io the French Electors:
 "We have disdained to reply to the ab- surd calumnies concoctcd by Ministers who have been convicted of paculation. Our abstenti ton from this odious comedy is now Justified by the indignant repulsion of at tempts to extort from officers of the army lying denunciations of their former chief.
 ''These subornels of witnesses have not hesitated to employ the taxpayers money to obtain falso dispositions from Jail birds in thei. very cells at Mazas. These are the miserable prevaricators who accuse their former Minister of War of corruption.
 ''They appealed to tho penal code, but tho outcome of their infamous machinations was that thoy could bring absolutely nothing against us If they could have ob- tained the most trival proof they would not thus have risl1ed the Asslze Court by nego- tiating with forgers.
 Ut Is for you, dear fellow ow-countrymen. to judge between us and these theivAs We await with confidence your sentence-fronl which thcse bandits, who feel It's approach, vainly endeavor to escape.

JACK THE RIPPER,
Causes a Sensation Upon Amer

A STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT
What Shall We Do ?

Since the English papers brought this unique character before the world speculation has been running wild, the unexpected has been happening, and we only know this invisible monstrosl:y bv his actions. When we look alb put upon American soil and see what the "great trusts" are doing, what the com petitive system is developing, we have "Jack the Ripper on gigantic scale. It is cutting prices on every hand, and other things being equal those whose expenses are the least can sell the cheapest. This is an acknowledged fact. The furniture dealers of the country, as we'll as the public at large, are amazed at the growth Of the Waterbury Furniture Co, 20 Grand street, accomplishing in SIX YEARS what it takes many firms HALF A CENTURY.
 Here is the way we do it:
 I. The buildings in which we do business belong to the firm, the rent going into our pockets.
 2. Connected as we are with other large firms in Boston and New York, 1t enables us to buy in such vast quantl- ties that the manufacturers pay al freight, saving to us of at least 1e per cent.
 :. Our facilities for handling goods are such that six men can do the work of ten This IS very heavy saving II itself.
 4. Every one in this establishment l: tireless worker. In this way w' claim to be able to put our goods or the market at the very least possible price to the customer. Of course we are short of room and cannot show ou goods as we would like to. We ex pected to have our New Building III this spring, but we were compelled t( wait to make arrangements about lan< adjoining.

 Law and Fool tho Police.
 LONDON, July 22.-A Berlin despatch reports that the police prosecution Of tho two editors Hodheim and Bernstein of the well known socalistic daily the Voues- eeit,tng, and tho director Franz May, has fallen through and that the prisoners have been discharged.
 The Volkszcitung Is a newspaper with 6 circulation of 5000, but in politics 1t is bitterly opposed to Bismarck. One fine day last March the Iron Chancellor found in its columns an uncomplimentary refer ence to himself, and had the police at once suppress the paper under the act directed against tho Socialists.
 The following day the Tolkszettun0 did not appear, but paper of exactly the same size, shape and general appearance did ap- pear from the same office with the title, the HIorkersmart.
 The twelve wise police inspectors got together, carefully adjusted their specta- cles, and, after thorough exam ination of the fledgling, decided 1t was only the Vokszeitun0 with new name and ordered its suppression. With a profound veneration for the law and the police, the management of tho paper did not again publish the Workersmd,t, but the next day's paper was called the Future. This JUG pOlC0 dS pIOuplAy ouPpAOo0Ou, Out when, on the following day, the same paper appeared with bran new name the police gave up in despair, foreseeing that the edi- tors could practically set their edicts at do- fiance so long as their list ot new names held out and this promised to be inoxhaustable. The director, Herr May, and the two edi- | tors, Herrcn Holdheim and Bernstein were | thereupon arrested charged with the very serious offence of publishing newspaper 1 after it's publication had been forbidden under the law by the proper authorities. Of course the whole question for the court to decide was whether newspaper, | after its name had been changed, could or | could not properly be considered the same newspaper. The prosecuting attorney in-
 sisted that to all intents and purposes the l VoLkszeitun0 was really published after its prohibition, even though the name was
 changed, while counsel for the defence
 urged that this was a forced and tyrannical construction of the law.
 l After listening to tho arguments of l counsel on both sides the Court de- l cided that tho newspapers published under different titles could not be considered l as the same newspaper and accordingly the prisoners were discharged.
 When tho three men left the court room l thoy wore received with loud huxzahs, by
 their sympathizsrs outside, who thronged | the approaches to the Chamber, and carried tho three men on their shoulders fes several blocks. a
