PAUL, A PERFECT MAN.
Such Was the Portrait Elouuent
Drawn by 1lr. Wendline Last NIGHT

Such Was the Portrait ElOquently
Drawn by Mr.. vending Last Night.
The lecture by George r. Vending at
the Methodist Protestant church last even
ing upon '.Saul of Tarsus," was very
eulogistic analysis of the character of
paul." the preacher, poet, philosopher,
logician. orator, prisoner and martyr,
rather than any elaboration of the quail
ties of "Saul," the prosecutor. Mr.. Wend-
ling is truly master of the art of elocu-
ton, his recognized qualities of
good voice, perfect meditation,
clear enunciation, ingenious adaptation
of tone and gesture, and remarkable ease
and fluency of diction capturing his
hearers for style, expression and beauty.
To say that his audience was an attentive,
appreciative one is merely to state matter
of fact. but for reasons perhaps best ex-
planned in the fact of its being Saturday
night, and the time of preparation for the
day of rest, it was not a large one. Today,
however, will doubtless more than make
up what last evening lacked, since a good
time has been chosen for Mr. Weddings
third lecture, namely, at 3 p. m. this after
noon, at the same place, when a mass
meeting is to be held under the same
auspices-the Young Mems Christian As
sociation. The subject of his lecture to be
then given is All inquiry of universal in
terest, to-wit: "Is Death the End ?''
Mr.. Vending viewed the intellectual
qualities of Paul in way that brought
out very clearly the great mental charac-
teristics of the man who was accused OF
having been made mad by "much learn
ing" But if Paul was indeed intellectually
great, he was grand as a hero in the face
of every trial and persecution, and his
fidelity was truly wonderful So the ora
tor of last night pictured the orator of
Jerusalem, Ephesus, Athens, Corinth and
Rome. As poet and philosopher,
Mr.. Vending concurred with others
that he was the Shakespeare of
religion" Yet his logic was re-
lentless though his fiery eloquence was
born of great and mighty earnestness
and his soul was imprisoned with a
sublime theme. His epistles are epitomes
of perfect philosophy, and have governed
the religious thought of eighteen centur-
les. His physical courage was astonishing
in the face of every test; his perfect
soundness of character was truly un-
equalled.
In referring TO Paul's early learning of a
trade, Mr.. Vending took incidental
occasion 10 advocate the introduction of
manual training into American schools. of
which he made strong point. The
lecturer reached a most dramatic climax
Of euiogy at his close when. in eloquent
terms, he adored the holy hero and man
acled martyr of protiigaie, pagan Rome.

Of hosting coal, the top Of the slope being
}, 100 feet from the mouth Of the mine.
The generator which supplies electricity to
the motor attached to the hoist has .
capacity Of 10 horsepower, and IL located
at the mouth Of the mine, while the motor
is capable Of exerting eighty horsepower
when needed. Yesterday on test L, 900
pounds Of coal were hoistcd at one trip up
the slope in one and one-hal minutes.
The plant was manufactured and in
stalled by the Electrical Engineering COM

Walked Into Jail.

Jack Thompson, veteran member of
the chain-gang, was arrested yesterday
and locked up on charge of stealing
hat from II. E. Pam. The hat was
stolen from Piam week ago, while he
was in Beede's cafe. Thompson was ar
rested on suspicion OF petty larceny at
the time, but the owner of the hat
could not be found, and Thomp-
son was liberated, leaving the hat
at police headquarters with good many
other trinkets that had been found on his
person. Meanwhile the owner of the hat
was found, but Thompson had left town
and could not be recaptured. Yesterday
afternoon he went to police headquarters
to demand his effects when he was seized
by Captain ]. J.. Barck and sent below.
Thompson very naturally objected to go
ing to Jail, saying:
II get arrested enough without coming
up here to get locked up!" He was sent
to Jail Just the same. however.

lroLAssEs. NOT OPIUM.

The Old, Old Swindle Catches vigilant
Customs Oficers.
Inspector Holden ran on to box Of
what he supposed to be opium, near the
Front street cable power house early yes
terday morning and carried it to the GUS
toms Office. The box contained forty
three cans Of the size and shape of opium
cans, but instead of being filled with
opium, as the inspector had supposed, they
contained dark substance, which Wa
Chong, on examining, pronounced to be
molasses.
just what was meant by the person who
had packed the stuff and left it where the
inspector found it, can only be surmised.
Evidently there was some object aside
from the practical joke it worked on the
officer. One theory of the case is that it
was left there by smugglers to throw the
inspector off the track while they made
away with the genuine article. Another
explanation is that it was prepared for the
purpose of defrauding some Chinese by
selling it to them for opium. The box
was within two or three cans of being full,
and those few cans, it may be, the
swindlers had filled with the genuine arti-
Gle to use as sample in carrying out
their scheme.

A GIRL IN MANS CLOTHES.
She IL Arrested While "Out for .
Lark" and Sent Home.

A girl about is years of age was arrested
in Whitechapel last night by Detective
Brown. The girl was attired in boys
clothing and, when first seen, was walking
boldly about with soft felt hat
drawn down over her eyes and was putting
away at cigarette, the lighted end of
which was at such an angle that it almost
touched the rim of her hat. The girl was
very pretty. She was attired in neat,
dark coat and vest, with white shirt and
standing collar, and wore pair of light
checked trousers, while her feet were en-
cased in patent leather pumps. She was
a veritable swell, and when Detective
Brown stopped her with
"You can't fool me, you young Teller.
you're glrl," the girl smiled and ad-
mitted her sex. She said she was out for a
clark" to see the 'boys" and the Sums"
At police headquarters she would not
tell her name, but said she lived on Pike
street, and promised to go right home if
she was set at liberty.
The chief was convinced that though the
girl was foolish and light-headed, she had
not assumed mans attire with an evil in
tention. and he allowed her to go.
