THE SUNDAY SIGHS OF SIXTY.
Sounds of Unusual sorrow at a Central Sta
tion Hearing.

Sounds of Unusual sorrow nj a Central Sta.
tion Hearing.
Sin never seems so tough as when it finds
a man out, or locks him in, on Sunday.
Sixty was the total number of sinful sighers
in Central Station when the hearing began
yesterday morning. Magistrate Hyndman
presided.
: William O'Mara, accused Of stealing q
revolver from trunk at the Baltimore and
Ohio depot, was sentenced to the workhouse
for 80 days; Harry Thompson and Mike
Feeney had been fighting and assaulting
passersby on Old avenue, and they got the
same sentence. Abe Regman and Joseph
Beitler, arrested as suspicious characters,
smiled, for they were discharged. Patrick
Donehue, Hugh Finn, Thomas Tierney,
George Metzgar and John Boyle each got
30 days for fighting and acting disorderly
on the streets.
James Heenan got "thirty' ("thirty,"
you know. means the wind-up) for interfer-
ing with the officers engaged in making a
raid at No. 13 Old avenue. Hattie Brewer,
proprietor of the Old Avenue House, was
held over and information will be entered
against her by Inspector McAleese. Each
of the people found in her house were given
the alternative of paying fine of S. and
costs or 80 days to the workhouse. They
were Wallace Walker, H. Washington,
James Richardson, Richard Layton, John
Keys, H. Banks, R. Edmonds, F. Brown,
E. Sampson, Peter Lee, Eliza Brown, Laura
Marshall, Leila Barklow, Lizzie Lee and
John Curtis.
In addition to the above cases, 10 common
drunks, 18 disorderly characters and two va
grants were disposed of with light fines and
sentences. Still, they all sighed, and there
was no balm for them in the Sunday breeze
that toyed with their whIskers and bade
them good-morrow.

.COLORED CATHOLICS
Are Encouraged by the Blessing of
Their New Chapel.
THE OLDSHDE MANSION CHANGED
Into Place of Worship and Consecrated
ImpreSsiyely.
NO COLOR LINE IN ROME OR In HEAVEN

The new colored Catholic chapel, which is
located in the Oldshue mansion on Fulton
street, near wylie avenue, and which will
be known as St. Benedict More Chapel, was
dedicated yesterday. The services took
place at 9 o'clock in the morning, and fully
200 colored people were present. Rev.
Father Wall officiated, assisted by Very Rev.
Father Strub, Provincial of the Order of
the Holy Ghost; Fathers McDermott and
Griffin, of the Holy Ghost Order, and
Father Myer, Provincial Of Carmelite
Fathers.
"A PRACTICAL SERMON.
Mass was celebrated and the ceremony Of
blessing the building and dedicating it to
God was observed. Father Wall preached
the sermon, a practical one, in which he
advised his colored hearers to be true
Christians. He stated that there would be
no color line drawn in heaven; white and
black would be equal there, and that the
color line was not drawn in the Catholic
Church. The colored man was just as well
come as his white brother. Father Wall
also spoke of the work done in Africa by
the priests of the Holy Ghost Order.
The new chapel will be under the charge
of one who has had considerable experience
with colored people, having labored among
them as a missionary.
THE WORK CONTINUOUS.
Services will be held every Sunday morn
ing and vespers in the afternoon. There
will also be services every Wednesday and
Saturday evenings at o'clock.
The building will also be used as school
for colored children, taking the place of the
one now in the convent on Webster avenue.
The Sisters of Mercy will be the teachers.
Bishop Phelan was to have oficiated at
the dedicatorv services yesterday, but was
unable to be present owing to sickness. The
Rishon is interested in this mission work.

WHY STOCKS ARE LOW.
Fire Insurance in PitfsburR Not So Proflta.
BILE as IL Was.

Fire Insurance in Pitisburg Not So Pronta.
BILE as IL Was.
Insurance companies in this city are gen.
orally doing good business. There has
not lately been much fire loss. Still, the
stocks of even those in good shape, paying
good vidends, and with surplus, are
quoted low. F. E. Stephenson gives
a reason. He says they have, as rule,
too small capital-that there are too
many of them to do the business proftably;
the cost of running a small company being
much greater, proportionally, than large
one. Competition reduces premium and
great risk is taken for little money. Mr..
Stephenson said. the Pittsburg companies
had made money years ago; but much of it
had been made on marine risks, and that
this class of business does not amount to
much now.
Captain Johnston, of the Cash, said that
while some insurance companies have paid
well, the hazard in this section is great, and
is not growing less. Most of the companies
are likely to pay dividends this year; but a
few have been paying unearned ones, which
policy he did not look upon with favor.

WITHOUT A sURCEASE.
Why the Fire Laddies Can Have No Vaca.
tion ms n Rule-Fnll Days, Weeks and

Why the Fire Ladies' Can Have No vaca.
tion ms n Rule-Fnll Days. Weeks and
Years Demanded ut Their Hands.
The sympathetic inquiry of lady as to
whether ''the poor fremen get vacation
caused a DISPATCH reporter to look
into the matter, with good results.
The number, all told, including
the Chief Engineer, his assistants, the
Chief Clerk of the Bureau and others,
on the payroll of this branch of the civic es-
tablishment, reaches 1872, of which 1853, in
cluding the company captain, engineers,
etc., belong to the operative force. The
fireman, excepting in his brief intervals OF
relaxation, knows no respite from duty. lie
is on watch every day for "a hours. By the
rules of the department he can absent
himself, on pass, for two periods of "a nours
each and one of IL hours every month, dur
ing which his pay continues. Should ne
desire to obtain additional leave, 1t is
granted him, if the exigencies of the service
permit it; bat his pay is curtailed. In this
latter event a substitute is provided, but
in the former his share of the work Is
performed by his fellows. Long leaves
are seldom granted to the men, one or two
months being the outside, an exception
being made in favor of one man who de-
sired to visit friends in Germany and who
has pass for three months. One hour for
each meal is allowed, and, it goes without
saying, that. were it not for strict discipline
maintained throughout the service, Pitts
burg's Fire Department would not bear the
high name it carries for efficiency. or the
substitutes employed to take the place OF
men, there is no cognizance taken as class;
they belong to all trades, and come when
called upon; but good many substitutes
look to the employment they obtain under
the Fire Department for livelihood, and
wait round until wanted.
But seven deaths have occurred within
the last IL years, three of which were from
accident and four from consumption engen-
dered by colds taken at fires. If injured
man is paid S15 per week, during 26 weeks,
is provided with medical attendance and no
curtailment of mis- salary is made. In the
event of death the relatives receive 81 600.
Firemen become more attached to the SER
vice with every year they remain; few vol
UNFAIRLY resign, and only occasionally has q
man to be laid off for too great liking to
stimulants. 1t is fact worth noting, how
ever, that some of the best men are those
who were addicted to drinking previous to
their assignment on the department, but
who from that moment quit it for good.

A SWEET INSANITY.
Tint f. the Light in which a Clergyman
Answers Those Who Think Religion In
Lunacy-Mnniacs of Magnitude.

Tint Is the Light In which a Clergyman
Answers Those Who Think Religion is
Lunacy-Mnniacs of Magnitude.
"Sane or insAne-which?" That was the
subject the Rev c. V. Wilson chose for his
discourse last night at the Emory NJ. E.
Church, East End, and he took his text
from the words of the Second Epistle to the
Corinthians, verses and 13: "For whether
we be beside ourselves it is to God, or
whether we be sober, it is for your cause. 4"
Rev. Mr.. Wilson said:
at has for ages and ages been the custom
in this world TO charge a man who differs
from the opinions of the majority with mad
ness, and this has been especially the case
with the founders of new religions, or, in
fact, of any religion. 1t was even said, as
we all know, that Christ was in league with
the devil and was mad. In other things,
however, we notice the same. When Co.
lumbus travelled from one court of Europe
TO the other and asked for ships. and assist
ance to travel across the ocean, to 60 West
to find the East, we'll we know everybody
thought him crazy, too.
'When Morse put up poles from Balti-
more to Washington and said that he was
going to string wires over those poles, over
which he would talk, of course everybody
pronounced him to be daft When Fulton
proclaimed his idea of the steam en-
gIne, in fact whenever Imam discovered
something new, something the rest of the
world had not heard anything of, and which
certainly they could not understand-not
having studied and investigated the princi-
ples-it is not unreasonable to suppose that
these people were called insane.
New light causes new thoughts and
begets new action; that is all there is about
it; and it was the same with these people.
They had received light in their mind
upon something entirely new; they thought
II out and the results were inventions or
discoveries, which made these very men who
were called cranks at one time, beloved and
hOnored forever after.
Not long after the world had been
created the people were in mood that they
thought they knew all the secrets of the
universe. Nobody could teach them any
thing; in fact they knew it all and when
one OF them set up as believing that he
knew there would be change, they laughed
and sneered at him. This man saw that
great food was ahead. He had received
light in his mind, too, and he worked
TO that end, and no matter how much his
neighbors laughed and jeered and sneered,
his ark went up higher and wider every
day. We know who was right, whether it
was Noah or his wide-awake, supervise
contemporaries. And that is what we want
to do-pray for light and look ahead-and
if the world and the unbeliever think of the
Christian that he is crazy, that he is beside
himself, then 1 say let us wish that we NAV
all be thus. For, il this be insanity, it is
the sweetest dream that has come to earth"

SYMPATHY AND SHAM.
The Two Contrasted and Dwelt Upon Enter.
tninineIy by n Preacher.

Rev. J. 81. Barnett, at the Union Chapel,
Allegheny, preached last night on "Sham
Sympathy" He took his text
from Kings 1890: sand he
laid his carcass in his own
grave. Alas, my brotherI' He said the
central thought of his subject was that SYM
pathy is a law, fixed by God, in the hearts
of the human race. He further re-
marked that the great want of the
human race was sympathy. We yearned
for real true, constant sympathy.
Yet how little real sympathy there was.
''There is" said he, sympathy in the
world; but, alasl there is another force; it
is principle known as sham. Sham is
taught in every walk of life. The mistress
instructs the maid to say to one class of visi-
tors, that she is out; to another, she is in,
and the maid will follow her instruction, if
she is not green. ....
''Sham is a word taken from the Welsh
language, meaning vacuum. 1t has been
my sad lot to frequent the city of the dead.
1 have seen the coffin brought to the grave.
The features of the dead man bore
unmistakable evidence that he had
been a slave to drink. The people
would file by. Ah, yes; even the saloon
keeper and take last look at the victim
and say: tom was good fellow, alasl my
brother! Sympathy such as this is hollow,
base, and sham! There is no real sympa-
thy outside the great heart of Christ"

Favorable TO EnrIx Hearings.

A clearly defined sentiment exists among
local retail liquor dealers in favor of petit
tioning court, between now and the spring,
to change the time of hearing license appli-
cations, making it at least month or two
earlier, so that applicants, before renewing
leases of premises for a year, may know
whether they are to continue in the business.
ATTORNEYS J. Scott Ferguson and Josiah
Cohen heartily favor the change. A date
early in January could be fixed by the
Court, if it chose, Mr.. Cohen says.
