TALN1AGE ONTHE GREED.

DR.. Talmage preached last Sabbath at
the Brooklyn Academy of Music on the
revision of the creed. He took as his text
the words, Loose him and let him go"
and among other things, said:
Ny Bible at the point from which my
text is taken is written all over with lead
pencil marks made last December in
Bethany on the ruins of the house of
Mary. Martha, and Lazarus.
Its the object of my sermon this morn
ing to free the body and free the mind
and free the soul OF every man who is in
any way bound.
In the first place. good many people
are bound hand and foot by religious
creeds. Let no one misrepreSent me as
being antagOnistic to creeds. | have
eight or ten of them. \ creed is what
man believes on any subject, whether
written or unwritten. y man who has
no creed is simply an imbecile.
There has been a great deal of agita-
ton in the Presbyterian Church about
the creed, some very good men preferring
to keep it as it is, because it was founded
on the opinion of John Calvin, a good and
great man. Others want a revision of
the creed-an improvement in the creed.
| suppose substitution. John Calvin
has been dead 1926 years, and since that
time have been the best centuries for
Bible study. You might as will go back
to Robert FultOn'S idea of a steamboat
and reject all modern Improvements in
navigation, or go back to the time of
John Gutenberg, the inventor of the art
of printing. and stick to his Old-fashioned
printing presses and reject the modern
newspaper presses. Words have entirely
changed their meaning, or they mean less
or they mean more.
Now. | refuse to believe that J ohm Cal
vim ever believed in the damnation of in
fants or in such possibility. Some peo
pie say he did believe in such an idea.
think that a man who believes such
doctrine as that deserves to lose heaven.
Let us make the way into the kingdom of
God simpler and simpler; but the way
matters are now the creed is positive
hindrance. The sooner another creed is
substituted the better. Something radi
cal must be done, and very soon, if you
would have our gloriOnS Church @ forth
on its mission of righteousness and all
the earth take off the grave clothes. tear
away the old cerements of the ecclesiaS-
tical vocabulary, loose her and let her go.

An Explanation of the Changed Demeanor
of the Prince of Wales

An Explanation of the Changed Demeanor
of the Prince of Wales.
LONDON, March A singular story is
told concerning the changed demeanor
which has marked the Prince of Wales
of late. A short time ago he was pres
ent at a seance of DR.. Orriproff. the
mind-reader, and, impressed by the ex-
hibition of the doctors powers, requested
a private conference with him.
At its close the prince was much agi-
tated and depressed, despite his efforts
to conceal the fact, and his unusual
gravity of manner and the interest he
has manifested in political affairs, have
attracted the attention, not only of his
intimates, but the nation at large. The
result has been that DIR. Orriproff is in
great demand by those who have hith-
erto ridiculed such exhibitions.

THE beIligerent editor of the Gazette

THE belligerent editor of the Gazette
INDUCES in some speculations concern }
ing the Wickham i-gerrymander bill
and figures on the result were it TO be
come law. He counsels the Legisla-
ture to proceed with the Ohio gerry
mander, and regard Congress no more
than if it were located in the Sandwich
Islands. He then calculates on the
Democrats electing representatives from
the new districts, and the Republicans
from the old, and presages the conflict
which would ensue. Concerning the re-
suit he says:
But let us look further and see what
might be done if the Republicans should
persist in their revolutionary methods to
retain power. There are AZ States in the
Union, % of which have Democratic
Governors and 20 Republican Governors.
The % States having Democratic Gov
ernors send 1856 representatives to Con-
gress-l66 is a majority of the House, so
that the members elected from the Dem
ocratic States would have 62 members
IllOFt ludu dIt ocLJ llOul IlCpuDllCoih
States and 30 more than a majority of
the whole BODY. Now if it becomes
necessaryin order to thwart the purpose of
the Republicans in their arbitrary reten
ton of power these Democratic Govern
ors could certify to the election of 1876
members of the next Congress. In case
that was not sufficient to meet revolution
in its still worse forms, of the 1O6,OOO
troops enrolled in the Union, $1,000 are
subject to the call of these % Democrat
ic Governors. 1t is hoped, however, that
the Wickham bill will not be pushed
further, but if our Republican friends
expect to cross the confines of all cOnsti
tutional right with impunity and retain
power at all hazards, they will find the
Democratic party neither dead nor sleep
ing.
From this then, we conclude that Da-
vid, like his illustrious progenitOr of old,
favors war. He proposes to rebel and
cut wide swath in hostile evolutions.
David, Jr., has been in the prophet bust
ness for some little time, and no doubt
his experience enables him well to fore
tell future events. The life and acts of
pdblOn od1lbY JOll OoNAo3 oAOAN BhD
ulum for his Imagination, and in him
self he sees the stern martial mind to
lead the columns of Democracy to their
second eternal castigation. Yes, David
was moulded for war. His Democratic
ancestral line were fighters their
mouths. His wing of the party has al
ways been swift to act and, when the
command was given, to fall in and save
the Nation, they rushed forward with
alacrity-across the Canadian border.
The Democrats in those days were men
of war, but they knew not as leader
the David of these latter days who has
come to slay and fay Republicanism. The
defeated rank and file of cause which
failed in what he has been raised to
champion, will mourn because they
knew him not. Sampson-like, he has
hairy strength, and globules of fire burst
from his nostrils. The one foretold has
come, and the Wickham bill has met its
fate The leader is here, and awaits the
day of his coronation. Great is David
of modern fame Will wonders never
cease?

Dressed Like Farmer He Does the Bank
for S4, 900.
VALLEY FALLS, KAN, March ia
masked man entered Hicks & Gephart's
bank about o'clock Saturday afternoon,
held up the cashier with two revolvers
and robbed the bank of $4,000. He was
dressed like a farmer and had his face
bound up in flannel. Before the cashier
had handed him his money, he had asked
permission to go behind the railing,
where there was a stove, as he had a
severe toothache and thought the heat
might mitigate it. The cashier granted
the request and the stranger passed be-
hind the railing. Once there, he took
from his pocket revolver and, covering
the cashier with it, directed him to leave
the building. The cashier left. The rob-
Der then locked the door, secured the
booty and escaped, though closely pur-
sued by citizens, to whom the cashier
had given the alarm.

History of the Rat.

No, not the slang phrase, but the
bothersome little rodent Rats are ma
tives of Asia and their raids westward
belong to comparatively modern times
The little animal was unknown in an
cient Europe. The black rat first came
to Europe from Asia in the Sixteenth
century, and about the beginning of the
Seventeenth or the ending of the Six
teenth century he arrived in America
This black rat was the common house
rat until the brown or gray rat made his
appearance in 1775. The gray rat came
to Europe from India by way of Russia,
and is now known as the Norway rat
from a mistaken tradition that it came
from Norway to England, and from the
latter country to America.-St. Louis
Republic.

the Cleveland boom is sinking into a

Decision That an Employe Must Impart
Secrets Discovered by Him.
PROVIDENCE, R. l.. March 3.-The su-
preme court has given decision which
establishes precedent as to the rights
which an employer has to the knowledge
of his employed. The Scheir Spring
Dyeing and Bleaching company, of
which Ex-Governor Henry Leppitt is one
of the principal owners, had in its en-
ploy an expert chemist, James c. Wool
worth, who contracted for certain
term of years and at certain salary,
with the proviso that whatever diScov-
cries he should make in the laboratory
of the company in making dyes, ETC.,
should be the property of the company.
Woolworth later made important dis
coveries of much value in the company's
business, but declined to make known
his formulas. The company brought
suit, and, after long consideration, a
majority of the full bench has decided
that it is entitled to the full benefit of
all the discoveries, and that Woolworth
must impart his knowledge to his en-
ployers.

YARD BRAKENEN'S STRIKE
PITTS5U2G AND LAKE ERIE YARD
SE1.VCE TIED UP.

PITTsBURG, March 4.-The fifty yard
brakemen employed bv the Fittsburg
and Lake Erie Railroad company struck
yesterday morning. The men are ron
union men and have no organization
whatever among tn ms Ives. Their
striking, however, at this time practi-
cally ties up the service in tie PittSburg
yards. The members of the Switch
mems union. the BrakCmen and Con-
ductOrs' BrotherhoodS and the engineers
have nothing what ,ver to do with the
strike, are not in sympathy with the
strikers, and have all assured Master OF
Transportation J. B. Yohe that they will
stand by the road and do all in their
power to help them out of the difficulty.
Object of rhe strike.
The object of the strike is to secure an
advance in wages. The men have been
receiving S1.S0 day, the highest rate
that has been paid to yard brakemen in
years, but they insist on having S2 %
a day. Some time ago they presented a
petition to Superintendent Holbrook, but
the latter has been out of town sick. He
directed Master of transportation Yohe,
however, to say TO the men that during

crease in wages.
They Expect the Increase.
The men striking, however, expect
that they will have the increase paid
them. They have kept severely away
from the depot, none of them having
been seen around. They have sent no
committee to confer with the company's s
officials, and the latter are quite in the
