about the situation in New York. lie
was told frankly that IN Mr.. kelioggs
opinion, New FORK MAS lost beyond

Cleveland a majority Of 80 900 or

Mr.. Taylor was surprised at the
words OF the SOutherner and attempt

taken; but Mr.. kellogg, as much as
he regretted having IL know That the
indications are against hes party, WAS
firm in his statement that the Re

for the Republicans in the South, but
MIR. kellogg thought that he knew
something about the politics of the
south, and he sac the Republican,
of the North might as " ell face the
truth and know, il they do not know
already, that the Republicans will mo-
carry New York or the S"utherI

SENSATIONAL SERMON.

Death So Vividly Portrayed AS to Cause
an Exodus from the Church.
New YORK, Nov. 1.-The Rev. DR..
Charles Fowler, bishop of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, preached a ser
mon Sunday morning in the aristocratic
st. James church, at Madison avenue
and One Hundred and Twenty-six street,
which stirred up a breeze of indignation
among his hearers His subject was
Death" Men and women, many of
them in deep mourning, arose from their
places in the congregation and deliber-
ately passed with bowed heads from the
church Several of these moved slowly
down the long center aisle as through
determined to emphasize their protest
against the bishops remarks. Probably
such another scene has never before
been witnessed in New York church.
After elOquently telling the story of
the resurrection of Christ, Bishop Fow-
Ter threw all the powers of gesture and
rhetoric into CHASTITY picture of Death.
Standing at the pulpit's edge, and lean
ing toward his hearers, he said: when
the mother leans over the cradle of her
sleeping child. the monster that We call
Death-oae that we fear so much-bends
forward on the other side" Then he
paused, anu StrltlhS 10 tIe aitdr, We.
through weird pantOmine viii
seemed to illutrate the removal Of a
child's dead body from the cradle. 1t
proved too much for the unstrung
nerves of one lady, who rose and hur-
RED from the church.
Death, in a form as dread as fervid
rhetoric could make it, was the next pic
ture presented. 1t was in the midst of
this imagery that the exodus of hurt and
indignant people took place. The bish-
ops sermon will long be remembered in
Harlem.
All were not offended, however. Rev.
Jas. Price. the pastor, was eloquent Ill lis
praise He said, Il never heard or saw
anything like it. His picture of Death
was really terrible"

A Berlin bricklayer writes: A brick
layer or carpenter earns per year, less
the frosty and rainy days $253. His
family of seven persons needs yearly for
food articles, S200.4S; for rent, $50. 06;
taxes and contribution, S11.80; clothing,
ETC., S24.09; total, $301.45. The def
cheney must be made up from VIVA. the
wife can earn by sewing, etc.
A bric.llayer i'll Erlanger writes L
keep an exact account of wages earned
and cost of living. My family consists
of myself, my wife and five children of
three. five, seven, fifteen and eighteen
years of age. In 1891 l earned as first
workman in stone quarry, $232.53 Tor
binary workmen earn from SlSO.72 to
$187.95) My cost of living for the year
was as follows: For food articles,
1888. 81; clothing, $56.87; fires, Sll.SO;
shoes, S99. 80; beer, $27.95 rent, $2S. 92;
total, $39325. The deficiency of $l6O.62
had to be made up by the amount earned
by my wife and children.
In the eastern and western parts of
Germany, as well as in the northern and
southern parts the workman alone can
not earn sufficient to support his family.
1t can be reckoned as requiring, on an
average, for family of four persons,
1887 for food articles per week, and
from So. 81 to 1885 for rent for tOlera-
. bly, good house per month. This makes
for food articles and for house rent a
minimum of $216.86, and the earnings
can be taken at maximum of Sl62. 80.
In Essen a machine worker writes: a
family of four persons earn yearly
$270.6 and expends for house rent $39. 70;
for food articles, $192.77; clothing, etc,
$4S. 10; for taxes, $3.50: for insurance
contri button, $19.S9. This shows a def
cheney of 5000.

WAYS neld that horse trained on q
half mile track will make a better
race on a mile, oval, or kite track,
than one trained on The kite or oval.
The eame question as to running
horses has come up, as between the
old track at Monmouth ana the new
one there. Sixty -four races have
been won by horses trained at the
old track. as against twenty-One by
those trained on the new track.
Sixty horses trained on the old track
secured second place, and tiity-seven
third place, IA against twenty-One
seconds and twenty-eight thirds Tor

theory is that the great distance from

CHOLERA MOI FATAL.
DR.. Elmer Tells About the Popular Mis-

Or. Elmer Tells About the Popular MIS-
conception of the Disease.
NEW YORK, Nov. lin an interview
Dr.. Elmer, of Chicago, who arrived III
this city on Friday from Hamburg and
is now a guest at the Hotel Savoy, says!
Cholera is not fatal disease. Those
who regard the lesson Of sanitary living
are not in danger of contracting the dis
ease. The horror of this disease IS en-
tertained by the people is largely pro-
duced by a mistaken conception of the
nature and progress of cholera and by
the knowledge that, until recently, the
treatment has not been satisfactory.
Could the lesson be generally taught and
understood that cholera Is a filth diSea G
and localized in the first few days to
the bowels, and further, could they
be made to see that If the bowels were
cleansed of the filth ut the beginning of
the attack. would it not 60 far 10 relieve
the black and hOr-id impression uf caT
tain death now universally existing u
the public mind. both in Europe and
America? When worrying and weary
ing torture. produced by an impending
danger. is lifted, it viii BE- easier 20 sub
due and manage the epidemic. Many
extreme and. indeed, unscientitic meas
ures frequently are demanded to satisfy
the fear-strickcn, even JnouSh they be
remotely separated from the ground OF
the epidemic"
In order to be able TO teach the lesson
that cholera is not a fatal disease, the
experiments were made aS soon IS the
doctor could reach St. Petersburg, with
results that were satisfactory.
