GOSPEL OF ST. MAMMoN.
A Sermon Preached by Rev. Robert
Burdette.

A Sermon Preached by Rev. Robert
| Burdette.
(Appointed to be read in a loud tone
Of voice in the Church of the Holy
Sinners the first Sunday in the calendar
of Saint Dives, and fifty-one Sundays
after that, three times day, before,
after and during service, and at other
times when convenient and there is q
big crowd present. To be read in all
the churches that expect or hope to
collar the shekels of the ungodly or
rake in the scads of the good in the
year of grace 1890.)
Now there was certain rich man;
which was clothed in purple and fine
linen and Jared sumptuously every
day.
Blessed forever be his memory, for
he hath This day given S95, 900 to the
church societies, and hath 81 900, ,00G
left for himself.
Shout his name nightly, and let it
appear in four-line plea at the head of
the column.
Blessed is the man who can give his
check for three figures; his seed shall
be mighty upon the earth!
But more blessed is he who can
make it four; his name shall be
written in the records and printed in
the minutes of the association and
craven with the pen of cunning
scribe upon the chronicles of the con-
ference. Yes, they shall call him
Mister in the synod and Doctor him in
the convention;
But thrice blessed Is he who can
make it ten and five noughts; his
horn shall be exalted with honor; ne
shall be known in the Congregation
and on change, where he sitteth
among the elders of the land. Yes,
when he goeth forth, a horn shall be
blown before him, and when he giveth
dollar gong shall be beaten in the
Sanctuary.
Lazarus shall behold him from afar
off and make ready to vacate the
premises in Abraham's bosom.
Abraham shall hear of it and shall
81 eatly enlarge his bosom and have it
newly furnished and re-upholstered
throughout. Selah.
The praise of our lips shall set him
on high; if it be SO that he cannot read,
then will we call our colleges after
him; and if it be that he signeth his
name with "mark," then shall we
endow chairs of Egyptology and San
scrit literature in his name.
FROM AN OBSOLETE GOSPEL.
Extract from strange manuscript
found in an obscure country church,
said to have been written by a man
named Mark, but believed by our rich
est scholars, on account of the general
air of improbability and the absurdly
imprscticable and preposterous teach
ing enunciated therein, to be the cum
ring invention of satirist.)
''And Jesus sat over against the
treasury, and behold how the people
cast money into the treasury; and
many that were rich cast in much.
And there came certain poor widow,
and she threw in two mites, which
make farthing. And he called unto
him his disciples, and saith unto them:
Verify l say unto you, that this poor
widow hath cast more in than all they
which have cast into the treasury. For
all they did cast in was of their abund-
a5ce; but she of her want did cast in
all that she had, even all her living."

Policeman Smith Should Go Home When
OFF Duty.
The Board of Police Commissioners met
last night, and the first business considered
was the case of Officer James Smith for
visiting gambling place at 146 Fourth
street.
The case has been exciting considerable
attention among police officers for the last
six weeks, both for the reason that Smith is
a popular member of the force, showing a
very good record for ten years service, and
also frUm the peculiar circumstances of the
case.
The gambling place mentioned was raided
some tipls ago by Sergeant Spillane and
posse, and Officer Smith was in the place
at the time, but off duty. The persons ar
rested were tried in the Police Court but
the Police Judge held that the game was
not gambling game, and the prisoners
were discharged.
Sergeant Spilane and Captain Short tes-
saloon mentioned on April 10Th, 18th and
18th, and contended that he had gone there
for the purpose of gambling.
Officers Linsky and Reynolds deposed
that they were hunting for man named
Sloane, who was wanted on charge OF lei
ony, and had asked Smith to look out tor
him, which Smith had promised to do.
Smith testified in his own behalf that he
had visited the saloon for the purpose of
looking for Sloane. He admitted that after
he was off duty he sometimes visited
saloons in order to play game of crib or
whist, but on this occasion had not been in
the place one minute when it was raided.
Counselor Clarke defended Smith, and
delivered a long address in his behalf, in
which he claimed that Smith had gone into
the saloon in order to be posted On what
was tTanspiring on his beat.
IAN officer" he said, "cannot learn
about pirates, burglars, murderers, bandits,
assassins and arsonists by visiting
churches" Furthermore he argued that
if the citizens were not guilty
of visiting a gambling game, the officer was
not, unless the Commissioners desired to
place the morals of the force above those of
the citizens. The learned counselor ad-
mtted that it would have "been wiser and
more luxurious for the officer to have gone
home after his duties were over than to
have endeavored to advance his interests
for the position of sergeant, by looking up
criminals, when he was supposed TO be in
bed"
The Commissioners went into executive
session, and before adjourning called Officer
Smith for the purpose of administering to
him reprimand. They also fined him in
the sum of 500.

escaped with good ducking and bad
fright.
AT the meeting of the City Trustees last
evening, John Hagan and L. j. Talon re-
quested that the city electric light plant be
leased to them, the city to pay them S400
per month; also, that franchise be granted
to them to operate an incandescent electric
light plant in conjunction with the arc
plant. Trustees Mastick and Neal spoke
against any such proposition. John A.
Breton, Secretary Of the Oakland Gaslight
and Heat Company, made similar prop0-
stion, and spoke at length upon the bene-
hts which the city would derive if his COM
pany operated the plant. The matter was
ostponed for future consideration. An
amended liquor license ordinance was
adopted giving the Trustees the power to
revoke the license Of auy saloon which be-
comes a disorderly place. A protest was
received against the proposed grading Of
Clement street, and was filed. 1t was re-
ported to the Trustees that no census had
been taken of Bay Farm Island, portion
of the city, owing to the mistake of Census
Supervisor Anderson in including it in
Brooklyn Township. The City Attorney
was instructed to correspond with the
proper authorities in relation to the omis-
sion.
