THE Carson appeal, in comment

THE Carson appeal, in comment
ing upon the TINES article in re-
gard to the worthlessness of the
new law that licenses stations, in
Inmates that it was the intention to
fix the law in just such a manner,
so that it would be imperative.
The Tribune says it was only an
error of the engrossing clerk. 1t
must have been one or the other,
and we are inclined to believe that
it was the former. In any event
it was carelessness if nothing worse.
We suppose that stallion owners
generally were opposed to the bill
and are doubtful if the law would
be good one if it was operative,
but it should have been given the
course that all other bills take to
become law. This juggling with
is poor way to do bnsi-
ness.

r. #. BARNUM.

P. T. Barnum, the greatest show
man on earth, is dead. He was
born at Bethel, Conn, July 5, 1910,
and was therefore 81 years of age.
Barnum was at one time the owner
and editor of a newspaper, and after
he had withdrawn from that bust
ness he moved to New York and
purchased Joice Heath, nurse of
Gen. Washington, for $1,000, and
exhibited her to considerable profit.
He was a great advertiser and had
a worldwide reputation as the most
successful show man that was ever
known. He it was who exhibited
the first Japanese mermaid, made
of fish and a monkey, a white
Negress, a woody horse, and finally
the celebrated Tom Thumb, who
he took to Europe. IN 1847 he
gave Jenny Lind $1,000 for $50
nights, and made 100000, the tick
cts being sold at auction, one ticket
bringing $3.50. Barnum engaged
in a number of speculations but
all of them, except the show bust
ness turned out badly. He made
several fortunes and three times had
all his possessions destroyed by
fire. At the age of 19 Barnum
married. His wife died some years
after, and a few years ago he mar
ried an English lady. His second
wife survives him, and is left a
large fortune.

WHENEVER anything is said now
about the misstatements made some
months ago by the Democratic pa
pers in regard to the effect that the
Mckinley bill would have on the
tin industry in this country we are
referred to the nearest hardware
store to be informed that case of
tin costs about 50 so more now
than it did under the old law. This
may be fact. Months ago how
ever, the opposers of the Mckinley
bill told us that there was not tin
enough produced in the United
States to make a regiment of toy
soldiers. Since the new law has
been in operation it has turned out
that there are quite number of
large tin deposits in this country,
and the protection to the article
has given capitalists the courage to
60 ahead and develope the mines,
and there are now no less than ten
large new factories being built at
different points in the United States
for the manufacture of tin ware.
The building of these factories will
put thousands of men to work and
the operating of the mines and fac
tories will continue to give thous-
ands of men employment. You
can buy tin cup, plate, teapot,
wash-boiler, canteen, oven, or any,
thing in the tin line here in Dayton
as cheep as you could a year ago.
An Italian tinsmith who comes here
occasionally to mend old tins, tells
us that he pays the same for sheet
tin that he did before the new law
was in operation. But, should the
price of tin ware be q trife higher
now than before, the amount of BEN
eft that will be derived from the
new conditions will SO far oyershad-
Ow the trifle loss to buyers of tin
ware that the latter would not be
worth mentioning. The industry
of mining and manufacturing tin
will become great one in the U. S.
under the protection of the Nc
Kinley Act.

THE thorn in the Democratic side
is the large amount of money a
grateful country pays in the shape
of pensions to the men who saved
it, and they would like nothing so
we'll as to see the revenues of the
Government SO reduced that it
could not pay the veterans. They
are not likely to see such thing
though, for majority of the people
believe in taking care of the ex-
Union soldiers.

GRAFTON IN ITALY.

The agents of the steamship lines
cover italy as the locusts covered
Egypt. They paint the charms of
big wages in the United States; they
often induce the poor peasant to sell
his COW and move on the United
States. In this business the COM
mission money of clouds of emf
grant agents is the chief inspiration.
The ship would starve without a
Storage list; there is large profit
in handling large numbers, and
thousands of drummers for emf
grants swarm over Italy, and their
fruit is in the 5000 Italians, who,
in one week of the recent spring,
cut loose from the life Of the Italian
peasantry to try chances in the
United States. Many more applied
in the spring of 1890 than the ships
could carry.
There is factor in Italian emf
grafton which is larger and more inn
portant than perhaps any other
European factor of it's class. l al
Jude to the devotion of nationality.
The Irishman loves Ireland, the
Englishman loves England, and the
German loves Germany, but more
intense than any of these loyalties
is the devotion of the Italian to his
ancient and now United State. This
sentiment is as profound among the
peasantry as among any class, and
nothing but the most pressing pov-
erty would drive the Italian people
in such numbers from their native
land. Hence, when they have made
a few dollars in the United States
beyond the present wants, they
hasten to their old homes. They
love to spend their savings in Italy;
it seems to them almost a sacrilege
to spend them elsewhere. AS a
Chinaman's bones can never rest
OR his spirit be free until his mortal
remains are celestially inferred, so
an Italian PEASANTS dollars seem to
bring him real peace only when they
are spent in the place where he was
born. The returning legions amaze
the home people of Italy with their
financial resources; for men who
never had dollar look on SIS as
rich reserve, and 500 is wealth.
These returned emigrants flourish
about their native Italian towns and
set their neighborhood afame with
desire to see the land where even
the shovel and the pick are trans
formed into gold.-Consul Dingley's
report from the Naples Consulate.

In winding up his reply to Rudi-
nj, Secretary Blaine says: eff it
should appear that among those
killed by the mob at New Orleans
there were some Italian subjects
who were resident or domiciled in
that city, agreeably to our treaty
with Italy and not in violation of
our immigration laws, and who
were abiding in the peace of the
United States and obeying the laws
thereof, and of the State of Louisi-
ana, and that the public officers
charged with the duty of protect
ing the life and property of that
city, connived at the work of the
mob, or upon proper notice or in
formation of the threatened danger
failed to take any steps for the pres
ervation of the public peace, and
afterwards to bring the guilty to
trial, the President would under
such circumstances feel that case
was established and that it should
be submitted to the consideration
of Cnngress, with view to the re-
lief of the families of the Italian
subjects who had lost their lives by
lawless violence" Maybe Rudini
and the Italian government will
get a little consolation out of this
letter, but it is very evident that
that is about all they will get.

A GREAT DAY FOR CHILDREN.
Rev. C. e. Locke Used Water From the Jor-
dan in Baptism.

Rev. C. e. Locke Used Water From the Jor-
dan in a Baptism.
The children had their annual exercises
yesterday afternoon in Rev. Mr.. Locke's
church, corner Seventh avenue and Smith
field street. 1t was great day for the little
ones in the Methodist denomination all
over the land, and on such occasions the
charms of beautiful flowers and singing
birds are always added to make it attractive
for young and old. The altar in the Brim-
stone Church was prettily decorated with
plants and flowers, which were distributed
among the hospitals after the day was over.
One interesting feature of the programme
was the baptism of 20 children by Rev. Mr..
Locke with water from the River Jordan.
When the preacher visited the Holy Land
he brought back lot of the water for this
purpose This is the second time he has
used it, and parents are particularly anx-
ious that their children be baptised with it.
Miss Clara Barr and Miss Murdock gave
pleasing recitations, and Miss Youngson
sang very acceptably. They were quite
young members of the Sunday school Prot.
Leyden sang several solos. During the
year the children contributed S640 to the
Foreign Missionary Society, which entitled
them to 80 life memberships. AS many
scholars were selected by the teachers to
receive the honors, and their bestowal by
Mr.. Locke was watched with interest.

AFFLICTI0Es TRUE BLESSINGS.
Sermon BY Rev. j. A. Burnett, the Sus
pended r, p, Preacher,

Sermon BY Rev. j. A. Burnett, the Sus-
pended II. p. Preacher.
At Lohr Hall, Williamsburg, Rev. John A.
Burnett, one of the Reformed Presbyterian
ministers, preached yesterday morning a
very interesting sermon founded on Jer.,
xiii 3. Subject, "Affiictions True Blessings"
He said: Every trial to which an individ-
ual is subjected so works upon his life that
he is prepared to meet graver and more try
ing circumstances. The prophet had been
sorely treated by his brethren, who had not
only dealt treacherously with him, but had
aroused the people against him, and in his
need he turns TO God, whom he declares to
be righteous. God teaches him a lesson
which every believer must learn, the lesson
emphasized by the Apostle. Beloved, think
which is to try you as though some strange
thing happened unto you.
"The text directs along the line of soul
growth so far as affiiction has part in the
Hfe's development. 1t seems strange to
man of the world to say that affiiction is
blessing, but this is one of those spiritual
things which is spiritually discovered. The
trials of life to which we are subjected de-
velop within US the graces of the spirit.
These so work upon our inner life that the
spiritual powers implanted there by God
shine forth in all their radiance and beauty
like the bright gem in the hands of the
Iapidary. This truth has another aspect as
is seen in the preparation for service which
grows out of these trials and difficulties
The troubled soul finds its solace in activity.
"Affiiction brings us into closer fellowship
with Christ Jesus. We know He can and will
sympathize with us, and in the hour of our
distress we seek His presence as a hiding
place from the storm. This grows out of the
humanity of the Divine Redeemer, and if in
His strength we. meet with Christian forti-
tude the dispensations of His providence,
they shall work out for us a far more exceed
ing, even an eternal, weight of glory, and be-
cause of this worlds griefs we shall be able
the more fully to appreciate the glories and
blessings of heaven"

How ST. Mary Magdalen's Congregation In
tends to Enjoy the Fourth.
The congregation of st. Mary Magdalen's
Church, of Homestead, will celebrate the
glorious Fourth in truly patriotic style by
holding grand jubilee in grove on the
Hays estate, just outside the borough
limits.
1t originated with the pastor, Rev. j. j.
Bullion, who is a thorough, patriotic Amer
ican. 1t was he who refused to preach in
German some time ago, saying that English
was good enough for him; it was the Ian
guage of the country and the one he would
instruct all his parishioners in for the
future.
The celebration will commence with the
singing of America" by the entire as
semblage, accompanied by the Excelsior
Brass Band; reading of the Declaration of
Independence; singing of "Hail Columbia"
by children, accompanied by the band;
oration and singing of the "Star
Spangled Banner" will end the first part
Sports and amusements of all kinds have
been arranged to suit all eyes. There Will
be sack races, wheelbarrow races, three
legged races, climbing the creased pole,

A great feature, and a most original one,
will be the ascent of Mr.. Punch, with his
wife Judy, in a miniature balloon. The
world-famous Mr.. Punch will arrange all
the details for the ascent himself, and, ac-
companied by his equally celebrated spouse,
they will climb from the stage into the car
of the balloon; then Mr.. Punch will say
"Let her go, Gallagher" when the rope
will be cut and they will sail out into space.

AUTHORSHIP OF THE BIBLE.
Interesting Sermon Delivered by DR.. w. A.
Stanton Last Evening

Stanton Last Evening.
DR.. W. A Stanton, of the Shady Avenue
Baptist Church, last evening took for his
text Psalm cxix., $50. His subject was the
authorship and leadership of the Bible. He
said: "To the questions why and by whom
were the particular doctrines now consti-
tuted of the Bible canons selected and pre-
served; was it according to the Will of one
man, or of some definite body of men:
when Ezra was at his work did he arbitrarily
select the books of the Lord; has the church
fixed this canon? No; she simply recognized
the canon as already fixed. The Church and
Bible grew together. No single historical
event can be pointed out as fixing the canon
of the scripture. 1t does not seem to be the
creation of any human act. No result ofany
recorded miracle seems to exist as a result
of general consent. 1t apparently collected
itself. Such statement may seem absurd,
and yet to such a statement are we driven
unless we acknowledge Gods hand in
the compilation of the books of
The Bible, as a whole, is a book of many au-
thors, but of one mind. 1t has a beginning
and an ending; it has definite object, its
plan Is gradually but perfectly developed.
The twilight of the patriarch in the Old Tes-
lament melts into the full-orbed brilliancy
OF the Christ in the New Testament.
General literature usually reflects public
opinion. The Bible must mold public
opinion To do this it must have a
moral leadership. The ideas of
aud civilizing powers of the world,
whatever we may think of the ideas that
have been developed by much so-called the
ology. The Bible itself was not made in a
day, nor has its leadership been gained in a
day. 1t is not like many reformers who ex-
pect to clear away all sin with one great
sweep. The world does not want such a
leader: instantaneous revolution is a dream
OF the imagination. The world needs liv-
ing and governing principle of oppo-
sitfon to sin that will manifest itself
day by day, and that will enter
the hearts of men and develop itself in their
lives; that will conquer through love and
light rather than through threats and force.
The Bible, rightly understood, supplies this
need. Its claims dictatorship rest upon its
influence in making history what it is. Its
teachings have met the exigencies of every
historical epoch and prepared the next
epoch The present history is simply the
working out of past revelation. There is
just enough light in the Bible for faith to be
possible, and enough gloom to give founda-
tion for doubt Here we find in the book
the genuine test of character, yet these very
limitations of revolution are adapted to the
conditions of our moral growth. They re-
qu1re, but they repay toll. To him that
overcometh is the reward promised, but
unless he overcometh there is no reward"

WEAKENED BY MANY DIVISIONS.
Rev. MIR. Milligan Wants Social Lines Ex
cluded From the Churches.

cluded From the Churches.
A large congregation again gathered yes
terday at Cyclorama Hall, Allegheny, to
hear Rev. J. r. J. Milligan, the seeding
Covenanter preacher. His subject was
MASSES and Classes" His text was: "And
the common people heard him gladly" He
said that in the days when these words
were uttered the Pharisees, Sadducees
and lawyers represented the classes and the
common people the masses. "To-day," he
said, ''the masses and the classes still exist
and even in religion The church is not for
the poor man as it should be, but for the
men who can pay big pew rents. This fact,
together with the worldly ties, are fast
estranging the laboring man from the
church. There is too much high class and
low class, and too much East End and West
End. The great churches are being put
where the wealthy families live.''
Mr.. Mil1igan then referred to the strike
and said that Christianity was the carpen-
ters' best friend. He declared the strike pro-
duced idleness and crime and it was the duty
of the church to bring both employer and
employe together in fellowship in the church
and prevent all complication between capt.
tai and labor. He closed by saying that the
church should be refuge for the poor and
the criminals as well as the wealthy.

of Christian life and told story of two finely
educated young men who wanted to become
lawyers, but who had been induced to study
the beauties ofthe nationalreformm movement
and who had so become imbued with the
the ministry of the Covenan ter church. He
said God was just and must have punishment
for sin, but He sent His Son into the world to
bring men away fl ON sin and into the glories
of Gods life. He spoke of the beauties Of
heaven and said 1t was necessary to have
season of preparation before he could endure
thebrightneSs of Gods kingdom. He then
made a plea for his people to come to realiZa-
tion of Christs love and said it was the min
ister's duty to place this before his people.

PREPARATION Is NEEDED.

Rev. J. A. Thompson Does Not Believe Man
Could Go to Heaven Without It.
Yesterday afternoon the portion of Rev. j.
r. j. Milligan's congregation that remained
in the Covenanter fold listened, at the Alle-
gheny Il. P. Church, to a sermon by Rev. j.
A. Thompson. They were 81 in number, IN
cluding children. The text the speaker
chose was "a friend of publicans and sin
ncrs'' He said though this was said in
mockery by Christ's enemies it was the
greatest truth ever spoken of Him. The
factor il religion, he argued, was that one
Christ as a friend. From that he gave his
tory of ChriSt's life, showing how everyone
with whom He came in contact was bet
tered.
From this he brarchedoff into the beauties
