DEATH IN A SCUTTLE.
Boy "Cranks s" Play Ball With
a eau of Dynamite.

"Too low. Give me a higher ball next
time, Dick, or I'll think you are losing your
grip on the game"
well, here you are!" and small coal
seuttle went flying through the air, luckily
bottom downward, so the catcher had
chance TO reach the handle.
All this was happening on Seventeenth
street yesterday afternoon, and jolly fun it
was as the half dozen begrimed, perspiring
faces of so many boys showed.
The coai-scutte was old and SO rusted that
no one would be apt to lay claim to it on
that score. and the boys tossed it to and fro
unmindful of their near approach to the
Seventeenth-street Police Station. Bat Ser
geant Heany vas on the lookout and was
watching their every movement, expecting
to hear a crash Of glass and scampering feet
as the boys would make off after landing
the seuttle through some TOO convenient
window.
"What have you got there boys9" asked
the Sergeant, and he ran his hand down
into the sand it contained. His hand struck
something he felt about 1t and drew 1t
out. Horrors. The can was marked by
namite.' Did he drop it and run? Not
much; the Sergeant is reasoning man. and
the care with which he laid it down
wouldn't have awakened sick child. So
tender was he.
The can is now in the charge of the police
station, and, though the man ION the
books" was disposed to deny it, it is stated
that the Sergeant has not been seen since
The boys found the seuttle buried in the
sands about 200 yards from the Haght-
street backgrounds, where, presumably, it
had been serreied TO be used on some near
date on possible recalcitrant umpire. Had
the scuttle dropped in its many aerial
flights, had it only touched a stone to cause
a jar, the boys would have been scattered
to the winds and the neighborhood sent up

PULPIT POLITICS.


DIR. Leech breaches on the National Dan
gers of the Hour.
The Rev S. Y. Leech, ID, pastor of the
Howard-street NJ. Z. Church, touk as his
text last evening Deuteronomy xxvi:9, 'He
hath brought Us into this place and hath
given Us This land, even a land flowing with
milk and honey"
After speaking of the beauties and nat
ural advantages of the land Of Canaan, DR..
Leech said that these were excelled by those
of our own country. But how in peril was
this republic ? There was the danger OF
the perpetu. ton Of sectionalism founded on
dead issues; the danger Of the corruption
of the ballot in large cities; the danger
arising from the immigration OF criminals
and paupeTS. In New Orleans murderers-
fugitiyes from Italian JuStice-brpught our
Government into a quarrel with a foreign
Government.
Another danger was the alarming increase
of Sunday Dissertation. In Toronto, where
no newspaper Office was open until mid
night OF the Sabbath. no newsboys cried
papers in the streets, and no milk-wagOn5
made their rounds on Sunday, the Lords
day was observed more strictly than else
where Oh the American continent. In san
Francisco and New Orleans it was observed
the worst.
After dwelling on the various ways in
which Sunday, as a day of rest, was dISre-
gaTded Dr. Leech asserted that, despite the
strength Of the opposition, there is enough
inherent force in the various churches. if
they would take united action, to get the
best Eastern Sunday law from the State
Legislature.
Having deprecated strikes and boycott
ing, DR.. Leech gave statistics to show the
extent of the liquor traffic, which, NJ said,
constituted the chief peril of the country.
There was need of more recognition of God

MESSENGER BOYS.
They Have Broken Up the Oppo-
sitiOn Crowd.
Some Points on Which Wholesome COMPETE
ton Might Be Desired-Ths Ideal
and the Real Messenger.

The recent discovery that a number OF
telegraph and district messenger boys had
gone into business in this city ION their own
hook" awakened considerable interest in
the minds of the many patrons of the regu-
lar messenger service, vino discovered in
the opposition possibilities of improvement
in the service.
There seems to be prevailing impression
among business men who have urgent letters
and messages for immediate delivery that
there is an intimate connection between
surreptitious games OF chance, jack-stones,
street baseball and lottery drawings and
the numerous irregularities in the delivery
of letters and kilograms.
In general way the service is reasonably
fair and expeditions, but humorists are apt
to assert that the sight of a messenger on a
dead run is as rare as the spectacle of a
dead donkey or the traditional tortoise-shell
tomeat
1t is not alone the humorist who pauses at
the unw0nted spectacle of messenger boy
travelling at 40 gait. The average citizen
who espies such a phenomenon is very apt
to associate the event with burning desire
in the boys mind to find whether he has
drawn anything in the lottery or whether
Kilrain or Godfrey won the fight.
The friends of the messenger-boy are
tearfully forced to admit that he is far
better authority on pugilism than on the

IN OPEN REVOLT.

DR.. Wiley Summons the Police to Pre-
serve Order in His Union.
Two officers from the Southern Police
Station were summoned by DR.. Wiley,
founder and Chief of the Pacific Laborers'
Union, TO preserve order and eject some re-
bellious members at Yesterdays meeting of
that organization. Four members OF the
Executive Committee and the Secretary
of tine union were elected. When they
reached the calm Sabbath sunshine outside
tine hall they spoke bitterly, yet very re-
specially, of Wiley. They alluded to him
rs a ear and monarch and a naughty des-
pot, and said he had sent them TO Siberia.
They also said that the meeting of the
union was Illegal. 1t was called without
due notice having been given, ami instead
OF the constitutional quorum of 80 mem bers,
there we're not Il present. They said Wiley
had summoned his tools to be present in
order that they might so amend tue c0nsti-
tuition that the friends should be in control
of 4 majority of the Executive Committee,
instead of being in control OF twG-thirds OF
the committee as at present. The commit
lee IS composed of nine members, OF whom
Wiley is one, and there are four of them
who follow wherever he leads SO the ex-
lies claimed that under the proposed rule
Wiley would have the handling of the cash.
They vigorously opposed The amendment,
and Wiley, Tor the sake of harmony or
dered them to leave the meeting. He told
them that his order was the imperative
mandate" of the union. Whereupon they
Knocked him and made use of the term ''im-

not been slow TO perceive that their inter-

doing business for themselves are diametrl-
cally in opposition, and the former have or
gauized themselves into an amateur detect

When a messenger IS faithful and capa-
bic he is in year or two promoted to an
office position, or more renlunerative em-
ployment is found for him in telegraph,
railroad or business offices. MIR. Phillips
says that during his experience of twenty
years in messenger work he has known
forty boys who have become operators.
and great many others who have attained
responsible positions in railway, profess
sional and insurance Offices, and in whole

reliant. and is very effectual in eliminating

PILGRIMS PROGRESS.
illustrated Explanation of Bunyan's Gel
ebratnd Story,


The evening service Of the last few Sum-
days at the Third Congregational Church,
on Fifteenth street, near Valencia, have
been Of rather an unusual character, the
pa stor. lev. f. 3. Pullau, being engaged in
delivering a series Of four lectures on the
'Pilgrim's Progress" illustrated by stereop-
ticOn views.
The attendance has been increasingly
large at each succeeding lecture and at that
of last night, the third Of the course, there
was not vacant seat in the church, al
though the auditorium had been increased
by throwing open the doors Of the prayer
meeting room, thus doubling the seating
capacity of the sanctuary.
The congregation included many who are
not numbered among Mr.. Pullan's regular
parshionerS, all of whom attentively fol-
lowed the reverend lecturers delineation of
the trials and triulnphs Of the Christian
Pilgrim
Mr.. Pullan last evening took up the
thread of John BuDyan'S narrative at the
point representing Christian at the cross,
where he loses his burden, continuing his
able and eloquent exposition of the story
until the termination of his victorious con-
flict with Apoliyun. Next Sunday evening,
when the concluding lecture will be given,
the reverend gentleman viii finish the
career of Christian with his entrance
through the gates OF the celestial city.
After the opening devotional exercises
last night the lights were eXtinguished and
two hymns, which were sung by the congre-
CATION at intervals during the delivery Of
the lecture. were portrayed in legible char
acters on the large canvas which occupied
the south side of the chancel. Mis-. Pullan
also sang very swcetly the beautiful hymn

ethics. and that he is far better able to
name the pitcher of a visiting baseball nine
than to remember the authorship of the
" Pilgrim's Progress"
The humorist agrees with carpfng spirits
generally in insisting that men have grown
old and gray waiting for answers to mes
sages that called for an immediate reply by
bearer, and that the answers when received
have found the eXpectant ones lettering to
their graves from the prolonged fever Of I'M
fulfilled desires. That the messenger boys
should occasionally deliver strictly private
and personal messages to iTate papas and
jealous spOuses after the fair expecting
ones have worn themselves out with watch
ing, and the hour of meeting is past, is an
other charge leveled against the independent
little wearers of red stripes and epaulettes,
who seem never so happy as when conscious
that some one is intensely annoyed at their
normal aspect of leisurely lucGbration.

bera Of the Coast Seamen's Union have Wis
igeG her.
Trey went to see her Yesterday, not to
admire. but to implore. They thought that
she could be induced to return some OF the
money which they believed she had OBJ
tanned from 4 rk, aud for that purpose they
appeared before her door.
Could they see Miss Woodward? Why,
certainly they could. and they aid.
They made known the object of their
visit. and it need hardly be said that Mollie
was never more surprised in her life. The

The union will repay these men as soon as
