DIR. Pitzer's Estimate of spurgeon.

large congregation was present at the Gen.
trail Church yesterday, where DR.. Pitzer, by
request, repeated his sermon on Sturgeon, the
great London preacher. Comparing Spurgeon
with others, the speaker said: ''Nr Spurgeon
did not have the versatile brilliancy of Beecher
nor the stately rhetoric OF Storrs, nor the i'm
petuous originality of Talmage nor the feryid
eloquence Of Palmer, nor tine striking force of
Parker. Yet taken in his totality he was greater
than any one Of them. In the amount Of truth
proclaimed and the number reached it is safe
to say no greater preacher Of the gospel has
over lived"

Probably the oldest known specimens
of recorded language in the world to-
day are the inscriptions on the door
sockets and brick stamps fund at
Niffer by the Babylonian exploration
expedition of the University of Penn
sylvania, which has recently returned.
The brick stamps, which are of yellow
clay, about four by five inches and an
inch in thickness, bear the name and
titles of King Sargon and his son,
Narim-Sin, who lived about $500 b. c.,
and they were taken from the mound
which covers the site of ancient Nip
pura, with its famous temple of Baal.
The expedition also found many other
objects of interest, such as clay tablets
containing contracts, lists of goods;
temple incomes, art fragments and inn
ages sold by the temple fakirs. These
throw much light on the history of the
people as opposed to that of the kings
and the work of the expedition carried
Babylonian records back one thousand
years to a time of which practically
nothing has hitherto been known. The
antiquities found are now in the uni
versity museum. Chicago News

MARRIAGE FOR MONEY.
The Caprice of Two Girl Friends and 1t
Outcome.

The Caprice of Two Girl Friends and It's
Outcome.
Those who are inclined to envy the
girl who has money will do well to
pause little before permitting them
selves to become enthusiastic on the
subject of her supposed advantages
over her poorer sisters Miss Annie
Lewis, noted actress, has tried how it
seems to be an heiress. At the sugges-
ton of one of her intimate girl friends,
who is worth half million in her own
right, Miss Lewis impersonated her re-
Gently, and, richly attired in her friend
best gowns and wearing her almost
priceless jewelry, appeared at a fash
ionable watering-place. the rich heiress
aaing as her companion and poor de-
pendent.
Miss Lewis was at once besieged by
fortune hunters, who, "to gain her
favor, would tell disparaging stories of
each other and point out the weak
nesses and faults of the other fellow"
Each of these men wound up, after
carefully sounding the actress as to the
extent of her fortune, by proposing. In
about week the young lady was so
disguised with humanity that she will
ingly resigned her position in society as
a wealthy heiress and with a feeling Of
unfeigned relief once again resumed her
true position.
The happiest feature of the expert
ment was that the rich girl, while mas
querading in the part of the poor COM
panion, met man who loved her for
her own sake and the pair are now
married. In her real character the rich
heiress, forever tormented by doubts
as to the genuinness of the love which
was proffered her, found it impossible
to make up her mind and choose from
among the lengthy list of her suitors
one in whom she could place conf
dence
This romance in real life carries with
it its own moral. The very rich can
seldom if ever be very happy, and it is
better to b. poor and loved for oneself
than to be rolling in dollars and sought
for ones fortune. Home World

That the old woodman's social pro-
