the stone from the wells mouth; then
we water the sheep"
IF a herd of swine come to a well
they angrily iostle each other for the
precedence; if a drove of cattle come
to well, they hook each other back
from the water; but when the flock of
sheep come, though hundred of them
shall be disappointed, they only ex-
press it by sad bleating, they come to-
gether peacefully. We want a great
multitude to come around the Gospel
well. I know there are those who do
not like a crowd-they think a crowd
is vulgar If they are oppressed for
room in church it makes them posi-
lively impatient and beIligerent. Not
so did these oriental shepherds. They
waited until all the fiocks were gath
cred, and the more fiocks that came
the better they liked it.
And so we ought to be anxious that
all the people should come Go out
into the highways and the hedges and
compel them to come in. Go to the
rich and tell them they are INDECENT
without the Gospel of Jesus Go to
the poor and tell them the affiuence
there is in Christ. Go to the blind and
tell them of the touch that gives eter-
nal illumination. Go to the lame and
tell them of the joy that will make the
lame man leap like hart Gather all
the sheep off of all the mountains.
None so torn of the dogs, none SO sick,
none so worried. none so dying as to

When the fall elections come the
whole land is secured for -xz,ters, and if
a man is too weak or sick to walk to
the polls a carriage is sent for him; but
when the question is whether Christ or
the devil shall rule this world, how few
there are to come out and seek the sick,
and the lost, and the suffering, and the
bereft. and the lame and induce their
suffrages for the Lord Jesus. Why not
gather a great flock? All America in a
flock; all the world in a flock This

The lady did not look over 90. though

Almost the midnight hour was chosen
for retiring, because it allowed them
evenings at the theatre and an hour OF

His Marriage Aided Him.

Abram s. Hewitt affords an example
of the value of profitable marriages.
Naturally man of great force of char
acter and a jealous student with worthy
ambitions, he would have succeeded
anywhere and in almost any line of
activity, but his marriage to the daugh-
ter of Peter Cooper placed him at once
on a plane which he, unaided by the
fortunate alliance, might never have
succeeded in attaining.
He was but teacher when he first
loved his respected wife, but once the
son-in-law of the great benefactor and
philanthropist he assumed prominence
in the public eye that gave him prestige.
AS plain Abram s. Hewitt, the teacher,
he would have been no less man; but
as Abram S. Hewitt, the son-in-law of
Peter Cooper, the public was predisposed
to hear him.
The marriage 1eveled for him barriers
that long years of self, unaided labor
might never have overcome. He profted
by the circumstances and became an al
most natural figure. That he improved
his opportunities is to his credit, but that
the opportunities were available was the
result of a happy, fortunate marriage

Advice for Speakers.

One of the common mistakes made by
the tyro in public speaking is that of ex-
hausting his subject and his audience at
the same time. By too great discursive-
ness the pith of the subject is lost, and
what might have been victory is turned
into signal defeat To save such dis
aster one should think carefully upon
any subject before attempting to talk
upon it, and in the thinking keep strict
ly to the salient points and the simplest
possible form of giving them express
sion,
Only the born orator, the genius, may
safely venture into the flower garden OF
speech and indulge in glowing and
highly colored perorations- To the or
binary speaker close attention to facts
and simple statement in well chosen and
convincing language are the safest and
surest means of winning golden opinions
for self and success for ones cause al

SPENDING HER HONEYMOON ALONE.

Economy Prevents a Bridegroom from
Accompanying His Bride.
Wedding tours are expensive affairs.
1t sounds like treason, but the honey
moon usually costs a good deal more than
it is worth. A young Pittsburger who
fell into matrimony the other day hit
upon novel plan to reduce the expenses
of the wedding trip. His bride to be
and he, before the wedding day came
around, talked as most young lovers do
of all the places they would visit during
the honeymoon. The drew up new
itinerary every evening and altered it
the next night-as others in the same
delightful state of imbecility have DONE
But as the fateful day drew near the
young man fell to counting his pile and
estimating how much it would cost to
go to Niagara Falls and to New York
city and the rest of the places that had
figured in loves young dream. Then he
footed up the cost of furnishing a little
home, and no matter how he tried to
keep the figures down, pairing off dol
lar or two from a table here and a car
pet there, and economizing on plates
and other prosaic things-which lovers
very seldom think of at all till the col
lector rings the bell and will not go
away without that little amount-no
matter how he clipped and Topped and
pinched, the total expenditure for hon
eymoon and the home at the end of it
covered all the assets, and Tapped over
into the bargain.
This would never do, he thought-and
then he went on thinking. The boldest
fact of all that stared him in the face
was the cruel indifference of the rail
road companies and hotel proprietors to
the needs of the newly married. Though
minister or a magistrate declare two
people to be one, the railroads and the
hotels insist upon charging for two.
Contemplation of this cruel condition
led the bridegroom-to-be solution of
the problem.
When next he visited his beloved he
spread the minutes of his self COM
munion before her and boldly suggested
that she should take the tour they had
planned alone, while he remained be-
hind to prepare the home. She de
INJURED at first warmly, but he persisted
that she needed the change of air and
scene-she was a hard working girl
that he did not. She had set her heart
upon the trip and she should have it. At
last she gave in. They were married,
and she went to Niagara and the other
places alone.
They belonged to sphere where Mrs.
Grundy is not power, and very few OF
their friends to this day know the unique
character of their honeymoon. It ac-
tually occurred as has been told-in
Pittsburg, too, and not a great while
ago, either.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Proof of C,aIlantrv.

Those yinegary persons who think po-
liteness is a lost science because they
sometimes see ladies standing in the
cars while tired men are seated can see
the refinement of gallantry any and
every day in the General postoffice.
There is never an hour while the long
line of men tails away from the retail
stamp window that some woman does
not insist upon taking her place at the
head of the line instead of the foot, to
buy stamp or get package weighed.
Time is precious to most of the men in
the line, but no one has ever been known
to object to the peculiarly feminine ir-
regularity, whereas if a man tries to do
the same thing oaths and violence are
sometimes used to right the injustice -

Limestone for ovsters.

The oyster planters of Long Island
sound are taking limestone from the
Hudson river with which to make oyster
beds on which the spawn can attach
itself. These planters first used all the
oyster shells they could get from towns
along the sound and from New York.
Then they brought them by the ship
load from Maryland. The oyster shells,
however, broke up rapidly and were
washed away, and it was found neces-
sary to resort to limestone, which is
found to make a permanent bed.-Chi-

Further Testimony Concerning the Es-
tee Boomerang.
SACRAMENTO, March 20.-The commit
tee investigating the alleged attempts at
bribery in connection with the senator
ial contest, this morning examined w.
H. Mckenzie, cashier of the Fresno
Loan and Savings bank. He identified
the torn checks found in the waste bas-
ket of the state librarian's g Office as those
OF the bank, and said the figures and
marks upon-them ypere in the handwrit-
ing of one of his clerks. The cash book
showed that he had on Saturday re-
mitted to the Crocker-Woolworth bank
5000 currency. He did not remember
that any currency had been paid out of
the bank since the last renittances to
their correspondents in San Francisco.
J.D. Barling, paying teller of the
Fresno bank, was then called and iden-
titled the torn checks and handwriting
of the clerk. He added that the money
was sent by express to San Francisco,
and the checks were the same ones
wrapped about the money sent. He
had never known MANILA wrappers,
such as found among the scraps in the
waste basket, to have been used by his
bank. The currency was usually
wrapped up in blank checks, which
were about the right length. The date
on the wrappers was evidently put there
by the parties receiving the package.
The committee then adjourned until
8 O'Clock this evening.
AT the evening session, Edward Cush-
ing, of San Francisco, agent for Wells,

PERRIEN's CAPTIVITY.
The Detroit Miller's Experience wit
His AbductOrs.


His Abductors.
DETROIT, March 20.-Joseph Perrien,
the wealthy miller who was kidnapped
in so mysterious manner last night,
returned home about $50 this evening,
safe and sound, but somewhat unnerved
by his experience. He says upon enter
ing the coupe last night, his suspicious
were not aroused until he noticed the
vehicle turned the opposite direction to
his friends house. He then threw open
the door and attempted to jump
out, but was met by two
masked men who held revolvers to
his head and forced him back into the
cab, they following. They then bound,
gagged and blind-folded him, the cab
keeping on, and Perrien was unable to
keep any idea of the locality in his
mind. Finally he was removed to a
room where his captors released him
from his bonds, and covering him with
revolvers, forced him to write the check,
promissory note and letters which were
dictated from typewriter copies
in the hands of his captors,
who remained masked and dis
guised. Perrien was not further
disturbed until late this afternoon, when
his captors informed him that "their
game was up" but that "they would
get him next time" He was then re-
bound, gagged and blindfolded and
conducted from the room. Their course
seemed to lay over ploughed field, af
ter which they entered cab and an
other long, roundabout drive was COM
menced. At last Perrien was unloosed
and thrust from the cab in
dazed condition, and before he
had recovered himself, the cab had
disappeared. He finally located him
self as being at the corner of Myrtle and
Thirteenth streets. He boarded a
Myrtle-street car, and was shortly
home. The valuables he had with him
were not touched. He was furnished
with good food and treated with consid
Grafton during his captivity. His story
is accepted as reliable, and the police
are making every effort to locate the
perpetrators of the outrage.
