FAREWELL SERMON.
Delivered by Rev. G. X. Berry ss the
Christian Church.

Delivered by Rev. @. X. Berry as tne
Christian Church.
The Rev. g. K. Berry, who has been the
pastor of the Christian church for some
years past, preached his farewell sermon
last night previous to his departure for the
coast. After the closing exercises OF the
evening services he WAS surrounded BY ny
parishioners, who bade him farewell and
Goasree1.
He took as his text Cor. 2:2, "Ohrist and
Him crucified." Among other things he
said:
Paul planted the church at Corinth, a.
we learn, by reading the Acts, Gig hteenth
chapter, and affirmed that while in the
midst of the disciples in that city he deter
mined to know nothing save Jesus Christ
and Him crucifed. BY following this great
apostle from the time he began to preach
until his death, we learn that his preaching
in the text.
We can preach Christ and him crucifed
by appealing to the Old Testament prophe-
cies and showing that Christ fulfilled them.
We can preach Christ BY proclaiming Ai ;s
great principles which He taught in M His lis
Christ by rebuking sin in harmony with
what He taught personally and what He
taught through His inspired apostles. We
can preach Christ by telling the different
steps necessary for sinners to take in order
to enter the church and be saved from past
sins, and for the Christian to take in order
to enter heaven, or the everlasting king
dom. We can preach Christ by opposing
everything which is error and showing the
people how to discriminate between what Is
revealed in Gods word and what is Of hu-
man origin. The great question of Chris
tian unity, which is much discussed, can
only be solved by laying aside all human
tradition and teaching of men and adopt
ing the motto of Paul and be determined
to know and preach nothing as religious
test save Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

The Wyoming Team to Play tho
Home Nine This After
noon.
There viii be q Series Of Three
Games Commencing
To-Day.
Base Ball Yesterday Afternoon-The Tale
of the Turnstile Of the League and
Players.

The opening game Of the series between
Ehe Cheyennes and the Athletics COM
mences this afternoon at the Athletic park
at the usual hour. and promises to be holly
contested, as will be the other games.
Manager Muth has arranged with the man
hger of the visitors for three games to be
played to-day, Tuesday and Wednesday.
He may, however, be able to induce the
Cheyennes to play probably two more
games in addition to those already ar
ranged for. The Wyoming team were de-
kained by a railroad accident Oh the Union
Pacific and it was impossible for them to
reach Helena in time to play game yester-
day. They arrived last night, and after q
good nights rest to freshen them up from
The long trip, will be in good eonuition for
The game to-day. They are all ball play
ers, and have a record for good team work.
Their pitcher, Mann, is twirler who has
proved puzzler to q good many batsmen.
The Athletics will be obliged to have 'good
syes'' to find Mann's curves.
Crotty and Keas will be the battery for
The home team to-day and Blanford and
Mann for the visitors. The new pitcher of
The Athletics, Barker, and Lewis, the new
hatcher, will probably be the battery for to-
morrow. Ca0nI, VINO was IeCentAy Akneu
BY Manager Nuth, will play short for the
Athletics.
The positions and batting order in to-
hays game will be as follows:

IN A DEN OF WHITE OWLS.

Terrible Torture from Thirst of Tourists in
California.
''I'u never forget an adventure l had
some years ago while in California, -
said gentleman to Cincinnati Times
Star reporter. He had rambled all over
the country and been engaged at various
things, but is now settled down to pro-
fessfonaI business in this city.
81 was at Los Angeles and with five
boon and adventuresome companions de-
termined to go to place called 'Portu-
guese Bend, situated on promOntory
about twenty-five miles away. 1t doomed
up at least 500 feet above a little whaling
station on the Pacific coast.
1--WE started out on FRIDAY morning in
September to reach the Bend. All
were jolly, and never dreamed of the
privations in store for us. The first ten
miles were all right. Then came the tug,
which was simply awful. Friday night
found us penned in by towering hills.
Saturday all day long we climbed and
fought the rugged cliffs, and when night
came we had made less than two miles.
Not a drop of water had we seen since
our start All men suffered greatly, as
did the horses. Saturday night was
passed in sleepless misery.
The next morning we were as lank.
lean and parched as skeletons, and yet
no opportunity to Stake our terrible
thirst. All forenoon Sunday we searched
in vain. l struck off into the mountains
and wendell my way up a deep canyon,
whose towering walls seemed to pierce
the very skies. Finally l got way up
the deep crack, as it were, IN the noun
tains, where 1 plunged into a den of
white owls. There seemed TO be millions
of the things, with their ghostly, flutter-
ing wings 1 was frightened almost into
fit before I got out of the terrible
place.
81 was gone nearly all forenoon, but
searched high and low for me. When L
got back 1 was exhaused and compelled
10 lie down. 1 had considerable money
with me, some of it being $50 gold pieces.
I would willingly have gwen 500 for
drink of water. But no, not drop
could I get with all the gold might
command. 1t seemed that l suffered the
most. My companions carried me the
remainder of the afternoon, and along
toward evening when the great sinking
sun was shooting its lurid rays across
the Pacific we came TO Portuguese Bend
and found water. Oh, what bliss. l
never was so happy in all my life before.
No man knows what thirst is unless he
has experienced it. Hunger is nowhere
IN comparison.

An interesting episode occurred at the
jail o-night. Bob Sedbury, a rusted
colored man, was deputized by Sheriff
Ford to arrest one Horace Wilsford,
negro charged with gaming, but the
sheriff refused to let Sedbury have
pistol for the occasion. About clock
tonight Sedbury arrived at the jail pre-
coded by Wilsford and followed by ten
or a dozen negroes who threatened dire
vengeance against Sedbury, but Bob
stood them off with huge tomahawk, a
cherished relic which he menaoingly
swung about his head and marched his
prisoner to the jail door and turned him
over to the jailer.

Special to the Gazette.
LAREDO, TEX. March 25.-Some days
ago mention was made in these dispatch
es of the recovery at points in Mississippi
of numerous horses stolen from ranch
men in the counties Of EucinaI, Dimmit,
LaSalle and Wells by Capt. J.
S. McNeal, state ranger. The
captain returned to Enclnal, some thirty
miles north of this city, on
Sunday last, bringing much of the stock
with him. Since his return he has ar
rested James P. Wright and brother, one
Burris, and another party whose name
could not be learned, as ringleaders of
the gang who have been making that sec
ton their headquarters and who have
managed the stealing of horses. Several
other parties are wanted, and will be ar
rested as soon as appTehended. If the
evidence is as strong as it is thought to
be, the parties under arrest will probably
never steal any more horses, as'there are
many cases against them.

UNCLE SANS GIRLS.
Both Sexes Work Together in the Treasury
Department.

Both Sexes Work Together in the Treasury
Department.
Cleveland Leader.
Do both sexes work together in the
treasury department?
OF course they do. American girls can
take care of themselves in any place,
and these maidens are by no means spring
chickens. Not many of them are on the
marry, though every now aud then we
hear of one dropping off the pay-rolls
with good husband. The late Attor-
ney-General Brewster got wife in the
treasury department. She was the
daughter of an eX-secretary of the treas
ury, and she was one of the prettiest
women that Washington has ever known.
Stephen A. Douglas married depart
ment clerk, and many of the ladies of
the departments go into the best of
Washington society. 1t is an unwritten
law in some of the departments that a
husband and his wife shall not be on the
pay-rolls at the same time, and when
two department clerks marry one is ex-
pected to leave. Postmaster-G General
Villas, however, objected to this theory,
and q number of cabinet officers now al
low their clerks to marry if they choose.
One of the prettiest girls in the pension
office was married the other day to a very
accomplished young clerk who worked
beside her. Their field of work, how
ever, was changed in order that no re-
mark might be caused by the marriage,
and they now have good positions In New
York. Not few clerks are married Sc
cretly, and their names appear on the
payroll of the department as single after
they have been married.
There is, of course, occasional flirting
among the clerks. If you put one woman
with three men anywhere in the world
she must be an extraordinary female if
she does not throw coquettish chances at
atleast one of the three, and the men are
not human if they do not look at her. 1
