preached from the text, And who know
eth whether the outcome to the kingdom
for such n time as this Esther iv., II.
The time was one of great trouble to the
Jews, who were scattered all over the l27
provinces of the realm of King Ahasuerus.
The decree had gone forth in answer TO the
request of n favorite courtier that all the
Jews should be killed on n certain day,
and they knew that according TO the law
of the Medes and Persians no decree once
issued by the reigning king conld be
changed or annulled.
At this time of mourning Esther. the
Jewish maiden who had been chosen
queen because the king loved her, without
regard TO her nationality, was told by
Mordicai, her uncle, of the danger which
menaced her people and importuned TO go
in and plead with the king To give the
Jews n chance TO defend themselves be-
cause the law could not be changed, and
IL was then that Mordicai spoke the words
Of the text, And who knoweth whether
thou hast come into the kingdom for such
n time as this"
There have been many parallel cases the
world over and i'm all ages; Gerge Wash
ington and Gen. Grant are examples in
our own country, and they lived in eX-
actly the right age. Now the louisiana
lottery company is menacing the State
where il Is established that gigantic fraud
which draws millions OF dollars every
month from all over the country wants to
renew its charter, and there is considera-
BILE opposition to it; but they want also To
have il incorporated into q constitutional
amendment. and IL they can do
this they can cle { n governor who will
be favorable TO the lottery; then
they will extend their power and perhaps
elect president also. In order TO prevent
this there must be organized opposition,
and who knows whe her some one Of us
has come into the Kingdom for such n
time as this. Then again, we must join
hands and by the help of God accomplish
ANYTHING which we attempt. Instances
OF this are the American Revolution and
the Netherlands. throwing of the yoke OF
King Philip of Spain, who was at that
time the most powerful monarch on the
earth. But God always raises up n leader
for his cause whatever IL may be, and
when he does this no power on earth can
withstand him.

first year. He was selected as a member
of the committee on corporations, which,
together with the judiciary committee, is
confessedly the most confning committee
in the General Assembly. The work is
exacting, and in many cases technical, al
ways requiring not only care, but at times
extended study. Mr.. Smith was as inces-
SAINT In his zeal then as now, and won not
only the respect of all of his fellow men,
bers, but also made reputation as a
leader and an aggressive fighter.
The Department Of Public Buildings
of the city shows great activity both in
the number and quality of the buildings
under construction, more work being in
progress than ever before at any one time.
And what is better, the work has been
done within the appropriation. This shows
careful supervision and contracts intelli-
gently made.

the Telegram carefully conceals perhaps

g., ,9S3, 600, together with what the debt on
the water works has been this year in

produce an income sufficient to pay the in

works, besides the cost of maintenance and
surplus last year of over So, 900, and this
year the surplus will be greater, and in

The municipal corporation has en-
tered upon big and important public
works. The immediate effect is to give
employment to large number of honest
laboring men who depend upon oppor-
tunities for work to support themselves
and their families and to send their chill
dren to school. Money is put into circu-
lation and the tradesman feels the quick

Asbury Memorial M. E. Church.

At the Asbury Memorial NJ. T. Church,
the pastor, Rev. Edwin II. Jones, deliv-
cred an interesting address last evening.
The speaker chose for his subject, ST.
Luke, xvii, 81: "And they answered
and said unto them, Where, Lord And
he said unto them, Wheresoever the body
is, thither will the eagles be gathered
.Sin." said the speaker, "has voice
that is heard in heaven. 1t may be com
mitted secretly, but the punishment is
sure TO come and desceuds on the sinner in
n terrible manner. In the case of the Jews,
their punishment was for their disbelief.
The Roman armies, whose ensign was an
eagle, was an instrument in the hands OF
God, sent by him To punish the disbeliev-
ing nation. The whole earth trembled at
the appearance of the armies, whom God
used as n scourge To many nations.
Before the Jews were punished by these
warlike people they were ripe for destruc-
ton. Titus was great general, wise and
humane, but his army were like wild
beasts, and their ravages caused thrill
of horror 10 precede them.
Sin will always find the perpetrator,
and unless you are washed in the blood of
Christ you cannot be saved. You may be
enjoying apparent freedom, but in the
hour of your greatest peace you Will be
overtaken by your punishment and
weighed in the balance. As the eagle
finds his prey and feasts on IL, so your
acts Of violence will return and cause ten
fold suffering.
The Power of Young Men.
The Rev. Francis A. Horton, ID. D.,
preached yesterday morning at the Union
Congregational Church ON The Power
of Young Men for Good or Evil"
"The power of young man is in his
strength" he said. Jeroboam was n
young man. He was brave and brawny
and a mighty man of valor. King Solo
mon loved such men and he gave Jero-
boam n high position. But Jeroboam
was ambitious and wanted 20 rise higher.
Ambition Is not wrong. 10 is noble II
under the restraint OF pure manhood.
Jeroboam was given control over the
ten tribes and he had great power either
for good or for evil.
Saul of Tsrsus was n mighty young
man by birth and by culture. lie had q
power for good or evil. In the pcrsecu.
lion against the Christians saul gave his
aid. Here il seen his power for evil. But

does something you can see. Charles
Sydney Smith is the man.

The city has to bear the expense of ad-
mitting as many candidates on the ballot
as may choose to come toward. It's lots
of fun being a candidate under such
circumstances, but it's hardly economy
for the city when too many men are
ambitious to have their names printed on
an official ballot. See to it that the privi-
lege the law gives is not costly one for
the city. Vote for Charles Sydney Smith
and decide the election tomorrow.

shot. Fahey and his sister were

Charles Bliss said that he was with
the group on the log. Miss MCGOWAN
knelt in the grass before Weitzel, and
asked him to play piece for her on
the guitar. Fahey pulled up the
gun and said, "Look out, Pm
going to shoot" and then snapped
the trigger. Some one cautioned him
not to fool with the gun. Shortly az
terward Bliss heard the report, and saw
Miss MCGOWAN fall and Weitzel roll over
and catch his face. When he next saw
Fahey he had the gun half way down
to his hips. Fahey said he was going
to shoot, in a joking way. Bliss was
not positive whether the party heard
Fahey say ''look out" or not.
A MIsDEsIEANOR.
While the jurors were making up
their verdict, Andy Hite was called in
by the Squire, who read the 10th Sec
ton of Chapter 149 of the Code, which
is as follows: ANY person found hunt
ing, shooting or carrying firearms on
the Sabbath day shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor and fined not less than
FIVE dollars" The Squire said that as
this was the first time the statute had
been enforced he would be lenient on
Hite, and accordingly fined him five
dollars and costs.
The jury found that the deceased
''came to her death from gun shot
wound in the hands OF Joseph Fahey,
accidentally discharged while he was
indiscreetly handling it under the i'm
preston that it was not loaded" The
Squire took the case under advisement
and released Fahey at once. The latter,
however, did not leave the jail until
about II o'clock-over an hour after his
discharge.
Fahey is sick through excitement on
account of the unfortunate affair.
The funeral of Miss McGowan will
