The local billiard tournament commenced
exceilentiy last evening In the Grand Cen
trai Rink. A good game was played, and
Plttshurg came gioriously out ahead. The
attendance was large and fashionable, but
the atmosphere was somewhat cold, and
this not only affected the comfort of the
audience, but the skill OF the players. This
evening. however, there will be plenty of large
stoves in the building. and as far as warmth is
concerned comfort Will be first class. The seat
inc arrangements are excellent, and no expense
has been spared TO make everything as pleasant
as possible
Last evenings contest was between Harry
BnSchert, Of this city, and John II. Cline, OF
Philadelphia. 1t was thought by the talent
that on account of lack of practice the Pitts
burger would be defeated by the fastener. but
this was nc: the case, as Boschert almost at the
beginning took the lead. lie held it to the
end, winning by 20 points. The winner played
a good game considering the cold. At times
he was unsteady, but when he got nicely
warmed up he played remarkably well. Some
of his draw shots merited rounds of applause.
Cline did not appear to be at all in form. and on
several occasions what may be called luck was
dead against him.
Scoring was slow for two-thirds of tine game
but during the last hundred both players were
warmed up a little and the century was made
in mucn quicker timc than either OF the previ-
ous hundreds In The thud inning BosChert
made tine run of Is and tals inspired his SUP
porters greatly. From that point on he stead
ily gained uuu he was 100 when Cline reached
his first hundred. When the local representa-
tive had reached his second hundred Cline was
stIll 90 in the rear. During the last third of
the game Cline played in better form and re-
duccd the lead considerably but his opponent
with breaks OF 8 is and H. soon got far ahead
again, winning easily
The contest was exceedingly interesting.

Let me whisper word in your ear"
The reporter inclined his head and
listened.
When man begins to make money, one
of three ideas enters his head. He would
like to cut a figure in society, therefore he
must live iE fine house in the fashionable
part of town. He must dress up his wife
like circus queen, and mis- children like so
many little butterfly midgets in all the
colGrs of the rainbow. Second ideal that
he must join every organiZatio in sight and
pose for admiration at the clubs. Third
idea is a garden outside all other gardens in
the vicinity. Napoleon at st. Helena took
to gardening in this spirit. For my part [
would rather see the successful man gar
dener than social leader. He does less
harm. 1t is better to he a Claude MelnOtte
and a man of the people, than a Vanderbilt
who incontinently damns them because
they are poor and he is rich"

vancy this tale might bear, but the old

MRS. COOPER,S CLASS.
The Greeks Taught the Law OF sacrific
is the Law of Life.

The Greeks Taught the Law of Sacrifice
is the Law of Life.
The lesso of the day was the account of
the inquiring Greeks who came TO the tenn
pie and said: I'VE would see Jesus" 1t is
a significant fact, said Mrs. Cooper, tina;
wise men Of the East sought the cradle of
Jesus, and W Use men of the West sought
his cross. l am sure these Greek prose
lyteS were advanced thinkers. Christ
treated them as such. They stand cut in
Bible history as magnificent explorers after
essential truth. They were honest inquircrs,
who were not afraid TO ask questions The
world is greatly indebted to such men,
They are heralGs of the dawn. Christ al
ways rewards such with the fullest revela-
lions of himself. The spirit of God takes
of the things of Christ and shows them
unto all such searchers after truth. Seekers
after truth are seekers after realities.
While truth never varies there is an adapta-
ton OF truth to the age in which we live
not of Gods truth in doctrine, but of that
truth in vital expression. When these Greeks
wished to know Jesus he showed them the
regnant purpose of his life, the supreme
object of his mission. We never know a
person truly unless we know the underlying
and controlling principles of his life. Jesus
showed them that MS work was to glorify
his Father and II be glorified tn rough sac
rifce. Except corn of wheat fall into
the ground and die 1t abideth alone" Every
life Is a seed its highest possibilities
are to be attained only through what
seems to be its destruction. The seed that
is content TO be a seed can never be gl0rified
in harvest The end Of every seed is bios
som and fruit. Suppose the seeds which we
plant in the earth were to refuse to be
worked into will and to do OF natures
good pleasure. Suppose they were to say:
We will not impart into ourselves the
nutriment of soil, air, water and sun"
Gods laws in nature find free course, and
are glorified; but the human heart and the
human will are not thus open to infinite
love and truth. What Christ told those
Greeks, he tells Us to-day. If we are not
seif-sacri6cing, we are without moral power.
Sacrifice has always power to draw and
to WIN. We are made that way We ad-
mre self-rcnuuciation. He who gives most
is highest; he who gives least is lowest.
He who would be chief must be the servant
of all; he who would 60 up must go down.
And this was the character of him who
hath borne our gTiefs and carried our sOr-
rows. The supreme question is: How
much Of this self-renouncing spirit do we
find in ourselves? Except we have the
spirit Of Christ we are none of his,

"time" during the last few weeks on the
Barbary Coast, applied at 3 O'clock yester-

about. About 10 o'clock in the morning the
odor OF escaping gas was found coming from
his room, and on forcing the door Allen was
found unconscious, having been RSphyx-
lated. He was removed to the Receiving
Hospital. The Police Surgeon worked on
Allen about three hours and managed to
bring him round ali right In a few days
