That increased interest is being taken in the
monthly French services in the chapel of the
First Presbyterian Church, Wood street. was
attested in the large congregation present yes

Glee Club LED in several hymns, to the accom-

Rev. J. Launitz, as usual conducted the SER

ing an aueCdote of George Herbert, who, when
travelling along a highway one occasion
met man with an overturned load. The man
was in pe-pleNIty; he was unable of himself to
release his horse and proceed on his Journey
Herbert went TO ms assistance, raised his horse
to his feet, and then gave him money addi-
uonal assistance. Wheu he presented himself
al the society whittier lie was bound, the CON-
panions twitted him for his sOiled clothes and

was: y was only doing my duty by helping

OTHER PULPIT TOPICS OF YESTERDAY

Rev. j. G. Townsend, d. D., yesterday
addressed an interested congregation at the
Unitarian Church. He took for his topic
American Mechanics and WOrkingmen,
which he introduced by saying: TT is said
that some member of the Order OF Amerl-
can Mechanics object to being called
'vorkincmen. This seems TO me to be a
spirit unworthy of Americans. 1 fully
recognize the right one has to rise in his
avocatiou or profession. Promotion, when
honorablv earned, is justly matter of
pride" DR.. Townsend continued:
Rut why should We be ashamed to work with
nur hands al any useful service. be it carrying
bricks or sweeping floors? If IL is honorable to
work for 81 a day, is II not Just as honorable to

FORCES MUST BE EQUAL.
A Sermon for Young Men by DR.. Kennedy il
Carnegie Hall

A Sermon for Young Men by DR.. Kennedy in
Carnegie Hall,
Carnegie Hall has become the home of the
First Presbyterian Church, of Allegheny, y,while
the new edifice is being erected on Arch street.
At both services yesterday the hall was packed
to hear the Rev. DIR. David S. Kennedy. In
the evening his sermon was to young men, his
subject being THE Glory of Young Men Is
Their Strength
The munster said this glory did not come
from wealth or position, nor from any particu-
lar quality. He did not believe it was from
physical, mental or emotional development.
but from an equalization of all. There is not
much glory in the mere development Of brute
strength. or in being book-worIn or an enthusi-
asst. The man will suffer who crucifies the mind
in caring for the body, or kills the body in giving
the mind entirely up to books. The true glory
of man comes from a strength gained by
holding every faculty and power in control,
and having each up to proper standard.

THE PROPER STUDY OF MANKIND.

Sermon by Rev. Charles e. Locke at the
Smithfield Street Church.
At the Smithfield Street Methodist Episcopal
Church last evening large congregation,
which filled the church to overfowing, gathered
TO hear the pastor, Rev. Charles Edward Locke
preach upon the subject The Kind of a Man
That Can Serve His Day and Generation"
The text was taken from Leviticus xvi. Il
'By the hand of 4 fit man." "Our century is
the students paradise" said the pastor. The
sky with its planets the earth with its rocks. the
sea with its treasures, the air with its forces
give man ample opportunity for investigation
Men lay their hands on the consultations, and.
leaplng into empyreal heights, sit upon the
rim of the universe and with irreyerent gaze
scrutinize the very throne of God. There is
one text book which is likely 20 be overlooked;
it is man. After all the only proper study OF
mankind is man. Let men cease debating to
the Almighty and study manliness."
Mr.. Locke said the theme of the text was
thrust upon thoughtful men because OF the
many who were falling upon every side. Death
claims all seasons for its own. How to live
that might render valuable service to the
world was all the more practical because often
considered.

Church, Allegheny yesterday morning. Rev.

Imagine Paul bound to a Roman soldier,
walking to and fro over the magnificent streets
OF the far-famed capital, Rome, and as he
went. ever and anon trying to adjust the chain
which had worn its rough way into his flesh, in
the hope Of moments relief from the sicken-
Ing pam. Imagine him as passing the
palace OF the Caesars, haIting and saying,
II am bound the word of God is not" Con-
slGer the task men would have to perform who
should undertake to bind the word OF God
They would have to invade the SKY and strike
down the planets, for The heavens declare
the glory OF GOd,". etc. They wouid
have TO make a crusade, worldwide,
against the flowers and the birds. for they
speak Of Guu. They would then have to oblit-
crate design from nature, for there are
wings for air and arr for wings

sign everywhere. And consider further that
the spirit, suggestions, Illustrations and color

AMENDING THE SALARY BILL
Representative Cotton Thinks That tb

Representative Cotton Thinks That the
Allegheny Jail Physician Is Underpaid.
Representative Emmett Cotton left last
night for Harrisburg. During the week he
will offer an amendment: to Representative
Nesbitt's county salary bill. in order to include
the Jail physician. The salary of this official
was fixed at 5000 by an act of 1867, and the
physician is expected to furnish the necessary
medical and surgical supplies. At that time
the average number of prisoners in the Jail was
l5, while now it is 30 An effort was made at
the January meeting of the Board of Prison
Inspectors to increase the physician's salary
under an act of 1887, but failed because Judge
Ewing decided such action unconstitutional
Mir. Cotton wrote to Dr.. Butcher, Jail phys-
clan of Philadelphia county, asking for infor-
nation as to the salary paid there DR.. Butcher
replied that he received 81. 200 year. and had
two assistants. one male and one female, at
$500 year each. while the county furnished all
the supplies. The average number of prison
ers IN the Philadelphia Jail is $50, or 20 less
than in the Allegheny jail.

THANKS TO WHOM DUE.
Rev. f. Il. Donehoo Discourses on Some of

the Worlds Ways.
Rev. E r. Donehoo, of the Eighth Presby-
terIan Church, yesterday morning took for his
text: Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my helpers
IN Christ Jesus. who. for my own life laid down
their own necks: unto whom not only give
thanks but also all the churches of the Gen
tiles. Romans xvi:34 During his sermon MIR.
DonehoO said:
The portion of our race who ever attain to
lasting distinction is infinitesimaly small.

they make record are wont to concentrate,
thus securing Tor them a celebrity which
