TOPICS OF THE TIMES.
Discourse by DR.. East0n at Calya.
~ Church.

Rev. t. Chalmers Easton, ID. d., pastor of
Calvary Presbyterian Church, is delivering
a series of Sunday-evening sermons on
" Topics of the Times" Last evening the
subject OF his discourse was 1.-THE Law of
Hereditary Transmission-The lniquities
of the Father Visited Upon the Children
Unto the Third and Fourth Generations"
Choosing for his text Exodus, Goth chap,
verse v: For /, the Lord, thy God, am
jealous God" ETC., the doctor said that he
intended to consider that part of the Second
Commandment, given on Mount Sinai to
Moses, which teaches the doctrine of hered-
itary evils being transmitted from the faith
er to The children and descending to the
third and fourth generations. The young
men before him, lie said, would in a few
years be- the citizens and parents of our re-
pubic, and must transmit to future genera
tions the blessings of sound physical struct-
ures or the inheritance of weak and fragile
bodies and puny ntellects wholly incap-
ablo OF confronting the great struggle of lie.
When the fathers have eaten sour grapes
the chlldren's teeth are set on edge. A
study of the laws of heredity is OF vast
and solemn importance. The vices, wrongs,
diseases, follies and evils of one generation
may, and do finally, affect coming gene ra-
tiOns.
VISITED UPON THE CHILDREN
The children of those who have sinne1
not only bear the shame and the poverty
which follow from their fathers vices, but
they 90 not get the credit and the benefit of
the virtues which they themselves may exer-
else. 1t Is more difficult for them to make
their headway in the world than if they had
been born with sound physical and mental
constitutions. THE children of the evil
doers." says the prophet, shall never be
renowned" The reverend gentleman then
dweit on three phases of hereditary trans
missions-lntemperanc crime and inter-
marriage of relations.
Regarding the first phase of intemper-
ance, he said: zone of the worst features
of rum-poison is that it not only enslaves
and debases the drinker but 1t entails its
curses upon posterity." He then quoted
from reports of men of science and doctors
in charge of inebriate and lunatic asylums
bearing out his statement. 1t has been
estimated by competent statsticians." he
said, that rnm-drinking produces in this
land annually 10000 idiots. Is it to be won-
dered at that society is coming to have u
tremendous interest In the questions of sa-
looms and rum traffic? And yet the saloon

Distorted His Eace.

Captain Morse, of the Alameda, has
sailed the seas for many long year, and in
the course of his somewhat varied career
has seen some strange happenings, as all cid
seamen have.
Sitting last night in the lobby of the
Palace he ran back over his past life, and
said: "One of the most peculiar things i
ever met up with was years ago when was
mate in an old clipper, trading up the
Mediterranean We had among the fore
mast hands an Englishman dubbed 'Nosey
Bill good sailor, but an odd character and
little given tn sociability with his ship-mates.
1t was in the summer, l remember, and
quite warm, and Bill took it into his head
one night to sleep on deck. The moon was
shining qHite brightly, and Bill lay down on
the forecaStle-head, where he was expoSed
to Its rays. When his watch was called he
went 10 the wheel, and when l went aft to
look at the compass l glanced at Bill. / was
completely staggered for moment for, as
true as live, his " hole face was drawn out
of shape. His mouth was twisted over
toward his ear, and his nose drawn in the
same direction. This side of his face had
been exposed to tho RAYS of the moon. 1t
remained SO TO the end of the voyage, but l
have never seen him since.
This may seem unreasonable, but /
pledge you my word it is absolutely true"

DIED IN AGONY.
Probable Suicide of Pretty
Swedish Girl.

Charlotte Larsen, a nineteen year. old
girl at service in the family of James Nc
Lane, 627 Mason street, died there last even
ing under circumstances which lead to the
belief that she took her own life by poison.
The girl was native of Sweden and had
been in America about year.
Five months ago Mrs. McLane employed
her as housemad. She was bright and in
dustriOus until about three months ago,
when she became morose and appeared to
lose interest in things about the house. 1t
was observed that daily she became more
taciturn, but would give no satisfactory an
swers TO questions on the subject
On Saturday evening she grew suddenly
i'll and about o'clock DR.. Albert Wheeler
was called in. He found her in cOmatose
condition, and after working on her Tor
hours discovered that he could not restore
her to consciousness. He called DR.. Worth
to his aid without avail. Only once did she
become able to speak and then the physicians
found that she was about to bpcome
mother. No evidence OF any criminal OPP
GRAFTON was discovered.
The doctors believe that in a fit of de-
spondency she took morphine, or some other
poison, with suicidal intent. 1t Will require
an autopsy to show tie cause of death. The
remains were taken possession of by the
Coroner and removed TO the MOrgue.
Mrs. McLane stated that the girl had
threatened 10 take her life before.

A Political General.

The death of General Sherman removes
the last of the men who have held the rank of
General in the United States Army, but a
move has been on foot for some time to re-
Yive the title with the ostensble purpose of
conferring it upon General Schofeld, who is
now the ranking Major-Genersl.
| am convinced" said an army officer at
the Occidental, that Senator Sherman had
Miles in his mind when he fathered the bill.
Mrs. Miles, you know, Is his niece, and her
husbands promotion has been largely due to
that influence. Now the bill provides that
the distinction shall be conferred only on
those who have performed meritorious sery-
ices Oh the field, and in army circles 1t was
believed that an effort would be made to re-
ward Miles for his Indian campaign and by
this means shove him, If possible, ahead OF
Howard and SchOfeld. That Schofield fore
saw the danger is evidenced by the fact that
he took decided stand in favor of Colonel
Forsyth, whom Miles relieved of his COM
mand, but who was reinstated by Secretary

keeper, brazen-faced, asks us TO give him
full legal authority to continue this work OF
sending men premaiurely to the grave, of
entaiing upon coming generations the
worst diseases known, OF blighting with
ldiocy and insanity the children down to the
third and fourth generation of them that
hate God. If we would not perpetuate these
awful evils let us stand up like men. fight
the saloons, and never surrender until the
nation is redeemed from the power of rum"
CRIME HEREDITARY.
The speaker next considered the question
of crime and hereditary transmission, and
re ferred to Margaret, the mother Of crmi-
mails, and other equally well-known law
breakers, whose offspring for several gen.
erations had nearly all turned out to be
criminals and had cost the States in which
they resided thousands and thousands of
dollars. Liquor, he said, is the cause of
many crimes. and asked: rs it not high
time that every pulpit in the land ring out
In trumpet tones against the great crime
producing factor, the saloon?" and con-
tinued, "1e men and women of America,
sons and daughters of the Golden West, is it
not, high time that all good people. no matter
OF what creed or party, should combine and
use their utmost influence to make leglsa-
tors and magistrates of such men as have at
least three qualities-ability, heart and con-
science, to deal with these all-deyouring
bells of drunkenness in our city, out of
whose prolific jaws are pouring streams of
prostitution, pauperism and crime"
INTERMARRIAGE.
In speaking Oh the third division of his
discourse, Intermarriage of Relations"
the speaker said that against the marriage Of
blood relations God has placed the seal of
reproba;ion, and the irtermarriage of rela-
tons ought to be prohibited in every State in
The Union, as marriage of kin is always
fraught with great danger. The best evil
dence of the evil effects of intermarrlage by
kin is to be seen by glance at the royal
families of Europe; sicklv and imbecile
princes have for centuries borne witness to
the danger that lies in the union of first
cousins.
In his peroration- the speaker abjured the
young people present to preserve purity, to
be fully cousecrated, body. soul and spirit to
Jesus Christ, to hold their physical organ
ism as the redeemed property of God, 10 be
his habitation and divine temple, and to
never degrade it by sensuality. lust and in
temperance.
