BEARING FALSE WITNESS.
The Ninth of Mr. Merrelrs Com
mandmeBt Series.
The Discourse Mt the First NJ. r..
Church Last Even ing-TaIk
by q. IL. CreeI.

A congregation that packed the audi
'orium of the First Methodist church and
overlooked into the Sunday school rooms,
gathered last evening to listen to the
Ninth Commandment as presented by the
pastor, Rev. F. W. Merrel.
After a preliminary song service in
which the large audience participated
heartily. beautiful descriptive song was
rendered by o. II. Creel who had Just re-
turned from an evsngelis lie engagement
with Mr.. Bliss who lsbored in this city
last winter. At the close of the SER
vice Mr.. Creel gave brief description of
the revival in Ashland, Wis, in which it
was estimated that some eco persons were
converted. These remarks were prefaced
and followed by some of Mr. Creeps beam
tiful solos.
The pastor spoke from Exodus 2O:16:
Thou shalt not bear false witness against tbv
neighbor.'' my
The Ninth Commandment is directed
against two sins. l. Sin against a neigh
Dor. ?. Sin against the truth.
The value of a good reputation is en.
pressed by Solomon in these words, "a
good name is better than precious ONT
ment. 1t is 10 be preferred to all the
wealth and honor of this world, 1t is a
sacred possession. With most profess
sinnsl men, it is worth more than long
bank account. To a minister of the
gospel it is the prime essential, it gives
character and force to his words. 1t is
to be guarded with the most sedulous
| care. The man who would iniure the
good name of a neighbor should be classed
lower than the thief. Shakespeare puts
it thus:
Who steals my purse, steals trash; It's some
thing, nothing.
Twas mine, tits his, and has been slave tn
thousands,
But he that tilches from me my good name robs
me of that which not enr ches him,
And makes me poor indeed
Or as George Elliott puts it, there are
robberies that leave a man or woman
forever beggared Of peace and ;oy."
In speaking of the good name of a
neighbor, it is possible To commit crimes
darker than any estslogued in our statute
books. Ben Johnson speaks of "cutting
mems threats with whisperings. Pol
lock says, Twas Islander filled her mouth
with lying words; Stand +, the foulest
whelp of sln." And Swift tersely spe axis

Much righteous Indignation is being ex-
pressed by residents in the vicinity of
Fifth avenue and Thirty eighth street over
the condition of the avenue at that point
There is no walk on either side of the
street between Thirty-fiftb and Thirty
eighth streets, and on the side where peo-
pie usually walk. brick has been piled up
and left so that when the frost began to
come out of the ground the brick teppled
over and it is now necessary for the pes
destrian to 60 out into the street car
tracks and wade ankle deep in mud in
order to get by. A lady with little child
got into the mud Saturday and was una
BILE to get out without the assistance of
some men who were passing. A little at
tention would put it in passable condi-
ton until spring comes at least. In the
same connection it might be well to in
quire whether or not it is the intention of
the city to have the c.. r. I. s. P. rail-
way company lay walk on their side of
the street.

Haunted Houses,

Every real-estate agent in New York
has had more or less experience with
what are known as unrentable build
ings. They are apparently just as de-
sirable as other buildings, but are occu-
pied only for short periods. The own
ers are usually more than liberal to
tenants. but the latter do not remain.
Such buildings soon have unenviable
regulations and not unfrequently are
associated with i'll luck. Sometimes they
are believed to be haunted. A building
at the upper end Of Second avenue is an
example. 1t apparently has many adj
vantages over the adjoining buildings.
1t is on the corner of very wide cross
street and is cheerful and bright within
1t is solidly built Of brick, is always
kept well painted and in good condition.
For six months it has been vacant, and
prior to that tenants moved out almost
as fast as they moved in. The rent is
low, but the other buildings, that look
old and battered beside it, are occupied
all the time

Mary Queen of Scots had favorite

present at the execution of its poor
mistress in Fotheringay castle. After
the royal lady had been beheaded this
faithful creature refused to leave her

dogs were the pets of men as we'll as

TENNYsoN's APPEARANCE
He Has Beautiful Face and q NObl
Commanding Aspect.

He Has a Beautiful Face and q Noble.
Commanding Aspect.
Everybody knows by photograph the
manner of man Lord Tennyson is-sure-
~ beautiful face, if ever the adiec-
tive could be applied to masculine
features, and never more beautiful in
any stage of life than now, when age
has fixed all the finer features, and lent
them new dignity aud majesty, saws
Sir Edwin Arnold IN the Forum.
Everybody is familiar with the broad
forehead, the clear, deep eyes, the
strongly cut nose and finely chiseled lips,
the long hair fringing those temples
shrlnes of high thought-and the genial,
massive and commanding aspect of the
poet.
Albeit past his eighty-second birth
day, Lord Tennyson's figure is only
weakened, not broken, by age. His
hair preserves much of its old, dark
color, and, excepting in places, is hard
ly more than ''sable-silvered" His
spirit is as alert, his glance is as keen
and aight as ever. Though he does
not rise upon our entrance, making no
ceremony with friends, he leads at once
an animated conversation. 1t is q sum
mer day, or rather, early autumn; but
the weather has been chilly and the
winds are blowing from that dismal
quarter, the east, SO that the poet is
wearing loose wrapper, and around
his neck white silk handkerchief
loosely knotted.
BY the way, on the left side of his
neck there lodges q small brown birth
mark, very characteristic, as if drop
of dark wine had dropped there and
had stained the skin. His hands are
manly and powerful in outline, but del
icate and finely formed, as those of
poet should be. On his head, as an ad-
ditional protection from the caprices
of the English weather, he wears
small black velvet cap. These precau-
tions are the more necessary, because not
long ago he was suffering sadly from
rheumatism and bronchitis, which at
one time, indeed, filled all his friends
with anxiety, and became for weeks to-
gether a national concern.

GARZA'S REBELLION
PlOtters Against Diaz Gaining
in Numbers.
THE MOVEMENT SPREADING.
American Troops Making Active Search
for Revolutionists.

CARA Said to be in Mexico, and Not
Thought to be in Hiding--He is Waiting
to Strike Heavy Blow at the Forces of
President Diaz--The Mexican .AuthOri-
ties, Although Decrying the Uprising.
Secretly Alarmed.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 22.-Private
advices received here yesterday from the
lower part of the Rio Grande border are
to the effect that the excitement there
over the CARA revolu tionary movement
instead of decreasing is spreading among
the people and that the plotters against
the administration of President Diaz are
gaining in numbers rapidly. At Roma
and Rio Grande city there are many
prominent Mexican and American resi-
dents who do not hesitate to boldly de-
clare their sympathy for the cause of the
revolutionists.
Captain Francis II. Hardie, with his
troop, started out again yesterday for the
purpose of making a search of several
suspicious ranches located north of the
Texan and Mexican National railway.
He is also heading for the reported rem
devious of large band of the revolu-
tionists, numbering it is claimed, three

Captain George A. Chase, in command
of Troop D, Third cavalry, has left Palito
Blanco rancho, the home of the father-in-
law of Cara, and is also moving toward
the Nuces.
An order was issued by Gen. David
Stanley yesterday that Troop D work
under orders from Fort Mcintosh instead
of Fort Ringgold, as it has been doing
heretofore.
1t is confidently believed that CARA
has not been idle during the long search
that has been made for him. 1t is be-
lieved, also, that he has not been in hid
ing.
1t is the prevailing opinion that he is
Mexico, and that he will show up in the
course of few weeks with an armed
following that will cause President Diaz
great anxiety and alarm.
Those who are acquainted with the
personal characteristics of CARA assert
that he is not the man to give up early,
especially since there never was brighter
prospect of success than at present. The
spark of revolutionary spirit has been
kindled, and CARA will not permit it to
die out as long as he can influence the
excitable and restless Mexicans with per-
sonal appeals and imfiammatory litera-
ture censuring President Diaz and his
policy of government.
In the meantime the United States
troops and Federal authorities will con-
tinue to exercise their utmost vigilance,
while the Mexican government is anx-
iously awaiting the expected revolt to he
started on q formidable basis.

The Work Of the Creator as
Seen In Our Solar System.

Almost every day it is our privilege to
stand in the presence OF death; We believe
that the horrid idea we have of death
exists only in the imagination. There is
ALWAYS ioy ut every birth-even in the
midst of poverty there is secret joy. Why
ia it not reaso able to think and hope that
in the phenomena of death there is IA new
BIRTH And if so, why not Joy in the new
life! While inventory is gOinS on in the
mercantile world, and while we are re-
joicing over our own little achievements,
it enlarges the mind to look at the work of
the Great Architect as seen i'll our solar
system. The sun stands in the center,
around which are six other worlds. The
nearest is Mercury, which is $4,000, 900
miles from the sun; the next is Venus,
which is 81, 900, 900 miles; the next is our
Earth, which is %, 600, 600 miles; the next
Mars, whichis 1874, 900, 900 miles from the
sun; the fifth is Jupiter, which is 557, 000,-
900 mile4; the sixth is Saturn, which is
49,, O0O, 900 miles from the sun. We
wonder if they are taking inventory up
there! II they will throw us line Edison
will communicate with them. The won

The marvellous success of the Waterbury

in this dire ton. All our neighbors live
and flourish. This is because we have
done as near right as we knew, and our
neighbors have followed our example

NATIONAL LEGISLATORS.


Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-At no time
during the day were there more than 80
Senators present, except, perhaps, for
brief period during Mr.. Stanford q
speech in favor of his land loan scheme,
and the Senate went into executive ses-
sion and adjourned with scarcely six
Senators in attendance.
The La Abra case still holds the floor,
and bids fair to continue to do so through
the coming week.
The proceedings in the House were en-
livened by two or three passages-at-arms
one between the Speaker pro TEN. and
Mr.. Reed, and another between Mr..
Simpson, of Kansas, and Mr.. Picker, OF
North Dakota.
A laugh was raised in both of these
cases, Mr.. Simpson being especially sue
cessful in scoring point at the expense
of Mr.. Picker and the Republican party E.
A bill was passed appropriating $4,000
to complete the allotment in severalty of
land to the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe In
dams in Oklahoma, so that the remain
ing lands would be ready for occupation.
The proposed code of rules for the
52d Congress was presented by Mr.
Gatherings and will be taken up for con-
sideration Monday. The portraits of ex-
J. Randall, painted for the State of
Pennsylvania, were presented to the
House by Representative G. w. Stone
Speeches were made by Representatives
Wright, McAleer and Brosius, of Penn
sylvania, Holman, of Indiana, and Hen
derson, of Iowa, after which the portraits
were formally accepted.
During part of the proceedings ex-
Speaker Grow occupied seat with the
Speaker pro tenn. Adjourned until Non

Invitations for Graves Execution.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 22.-The bailiff of
the Supreme Court received a large let
ter yesterday from Canon City. When
asked what it contained he smiled
knowingly and said he was not permit
ted to answer. From those in position
to know the information was obtained
that the letter contained invitations to
the Graves execution. The time for the
death watch to be established is drawing
so near that the warden could delay the
matter no longer. The bailiff is forbid
den by law to tell who the witnesses
will be. The information has caused a
sensation in Denver.

ANOTHER FALsITY NAILED.
Minister Mont Denies the Latest Story
Concerning MT. Egan.

Concerning MT. Egan.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The adjourn
ment of the Senate and House until
Monday next settles definitely the ques-
ton whether the CHILEAN correspondence
and the accompanying message of the
President would go to Congress this
week. Unless there are some new de-
velopments in the situation before Mon
day the correspondence will in all proba-
bility be sent in on that day.
1t has all been prepared for transmits
sion to Congress ard can be sent at the
Presidents pleasure. There have been
no new developments this morning.
Messrs. Blaine, Tracy and Montt have no
news for publication.
A rumor that gained some credence
last night was that Minister Montt had
received a dispatch from his government
instructing him to request the United
States to recall Mr.. Egan, compliance
with the request to be followed by a
promise on the part of Chill of apology
for the Baltimore affair. Senior Montt
when asked about the rumor greeted
the question with laugh and said he
hae received no such dispatch.

believed to Have Been N1urdered,

PoRT JERvIs, N. Y, Jan. 22.-Midst
surroundings which suggest battle for
life and murder, the body of George
Markart of Calicoon was found in Cali
coon creek. This belief is strengthened
by the knife-wounds which the body
bears, and by facts ascertained about his
relationship with his brother-in-law,
Adam Heidi. who is suspected of the
crime. Heidi, who is slightly deranged,
frequently threatened to take Markarts
life because he believed Markart to exer-
else potent spell over his cattle causing
their death. A coroner's jury is now in
vestigating the case.

THE REFUGEE MATTER.
A Cablegram to Grace & Co. Throws New
Light on the Subject.

Light on the Subject.
New YORK, Jan. CIV. R. Grace g.
Co. yesterday received a cablegram from
their house in Valparaiso, Chill, stating
that the CHILEAN government were not
officially notified of the transfer of the
refugees until after they were on board
the Yorktown, and that upon receiving
from Commander Evans the official mott
fication of his intention to transfer the
refugees to merchant steamers, the Com
mander of the Marine District merely
answered officially that they would have
to take whatever risks in the matter
which might apply to them as refugees
from justice.
1t would seem that the Captain of the
Yorktown did not understand the whole
position and that the CHILEAN government
is DESTROYS of complying in every con-
sistent way with the rights and desires
of the United States.
