THE FINANCIAL STORM.
A General Panic is Feared in Ber-
lin.
PARIS AND LONDON UNEASY,
The Two Sommerfelds are Dead I'm Hos
pitaI and the Police are I'm Possession
ofTheir Ofice--The Failures Have De-
stroyed all Confidence.

BERLIN, Nov. 9.-About 1000 depositors
with Sigmund Sommerfeld and his son
Felix, who committed suicide on Saturday,
have lost their all. The 100000 marks,
nominal assets of the firm, are mostly
worthless paper. The panic created by
the collapse, after the other failures OF
Hirschfeld & Wolff and Herr Leipziger,
bankers have requested their clients to
Withdraw their deposits, as they are un-
able to guarantee security in these trouDl-
ous times II is learned that the wealthy
banker, Pincus, Felix Sommerfeld's father
in-law, recently gave 30OOJO marks to
bolster up the shaky concern, and prom
ised 100000 more, but withdrew his oi1er
when he discovered that 100000 woul Id be
necessary to save the Sommerfelds from
criminal procedure.
The police have taken charge OF the
Office of Friedlander & Sommerfeld. Re
ally sound concerns are in danger of col
lapsing, owing to the panicky spirit which
prevails and the rush To withdraw money
from any banking house concerning which
the merest rumor is aiioat. The Berlin
banks did their best to avert disaster by
opening yesterday for Withdrawals.
The banker LeipZiger has been arrested.
His safes were found almost empty. The
proprietors of Jacobs sugar factory at
Potsdam. one of the oldest in Prussia,
have applied for moratorium.
A stock broker named Wolff, who has
Just committed suicide with poison, is
supposed to be involved in the failure.
IL is said that the Emperor has dis
cussed the situation with DR.. Miguel, and
has given special instructions to the au-
thorities TO vigorously prosecute all cases
of financial dishonesty without regard To
the standing of the parties.

into the world TO see that they grow up

also TO bring mp children in their home.
Faults as well as virtues are transferable
TO children and no one can say that any
faults which they may haye, harm them
selves alone, for each and every one has
some influence. even If they have no
children. There are. no donbt, many
parents who are morally incapable OF

A very large audience gathered at st.
Pauls NJ. Il. Church last evening 10
hear the Rev. j. w. Webb's sermon on
1.-The Fast Young Man" The text was
taken from III. Samuel, xviii, 30: lis
the young man Absalom safe" Absa-
lom was prince, the son of King Da-
vid, and he was beautiful youth. For
this young man there was a great future.
He either would do a tremendous good
or terrible wrong. Under the pre-
tense of being the defender of his sisters
virtue he arose and murdered his half
brother and then fled 20 distant coun-
try King David mourned for his son,
and so the people sent for Absalom and
he was forgiven. But Absalom still
continued in his unlawful way. He de-
sired TO gain the throne and so pretended
to love the people, and he did as much as
n modern politician who wanted votes.
He was hypocrite and stole the peoples
hearts. He led rebellion against his
father, and in the battle before the city
of Jerusalem he was killed by Joab. "A
runner then went To give the tidings to
David who, upon the mans appearance,
csied out, "Is the young man Absalom
safe" and upon hearing the news fell
into mourning.
"Let us study the fast young man, for
such was Absalom. First TO be noticed
is his self-conceit. He went his own
way without taking the advice of his
elders. All honor will be TO the young
man who heeds the counsel of his father
and mother. Absalom was extravagant.
The young man who drives out on Sun
day and makes a great display on the
street may well be looked out for by his
employers. He may occasion some such
ruin as the Maverick bank Absalom
had lack of moral ambition. True
ambition is noble, but false ambition
tramples on the rights of others. Speak
TO young man about seeking religion
and he will say he is too busy in seeking
his own pleasure. Absalom's religious
life was neglected. In every family
there is young Absalom growing up on
account of the lack of his religious
training. Absalom was given too much
parental indulgence. This should
not be but loving attention and
fidelity should be paid young man.
What man sows he reaps and after the
ruin has been consummated il is too late
TO weep. Absolom was flattered youth
He was highly praised on account of his
personal beauty. 1t is an injustice to
flatter one whether he is handsome or
not. God has made us and we are all
right. The fast young man knows too
mach of the theatre, ball and gaming
table and does not know religion. To-
night | ask that you be reconciled 10
your Heavenly Father and that God
may help you is my prayer.

LYNCHING THREATENED.
An Attack Proposed on the Balti-
more County Jail.

BALTIMORE, Nov 9.-At midnight groups
of angry men, mostly farmers, gathered
on the outskirts of the town and threated
TO attack the Baltimore County Jail and
TO lynch Calvert Allen, the negro who a
week ago assaulted and nearly killed little
Kitty Meeney, aged II.
The Sheriff had increased the guard in
anticipation of such a move, but grave
fears were felt that they would be unable
TO resist the determined mob. One of the
men, who appeared to be the leader, said
that they were going TO hang the negro if
they could get together crowd big
enough 10 storm the Jail. Some desper-
ate action is looked for.

The Annual Friend.

Commissioner Merrill makes this state
ment about the Annual Friend: Nhen
the constitution and laws OF the order
were originally framed they contained no
provision for allowing a representation
from certificate holders. The incorpora-
tors were notified that such n method OF
forming close corporation could not be
permitted. An amended set of laws was
then framed allowing a representation
in the supreme lodge of one from each
subordinate lodge of 100 members.
No sooner, however, had the charter
been Sranted than the supreme body, thus
far only the original incorporators,
changed their constitution and laws by
striking out subordinate lodge and insert
ing grand lodge" and by striking out
'one hundred members" and inserting
ten thousand members"

We ought to answer every man The
power of articulate speech SAID the
preacher, possesses highly organized
characteristics peculiar TO man. Many
other characteristics are also gwen TO
man. but ALL with the exception OF
speech. are shared with the lower class
OF animals. Natural sounds come from
the birds and var---s animals, and re-
cent developments snow that the monkey
has "a form of speech, some scientific
men, in fact, going so far as to clam TO
he able TO distinguish the meaning OF
the animal by the sound. But with all
this, the possession of highly organ
lied verbal language is peculiar char-
acteristic of man, and stamps him at
once as n superior being.
Language is spiritual expression
which seems almost TO be IN emanatlOn
of the spirit. With it we are enabled to
convey an idea from our mind TO that OF
our neighbors and by this form of inter
course derive more enjoyment out oil
life than is possible elseways.
And il is our duty to God TO make our
speech clear and wholesome, free from
impurities and abounding in all tending
to the improvement of mankind.
