IN A HURRICANE.
4 Steamers Experience in a Southern
Port-An Awful Blow.

Port-An Awful Blow.
New YORK, October 2S.-Captain M.
Vanderest, of the steamer Orange Mas
sau. relates thrilling experience en-.
countered at the harbor of Port Of
Spain, Trinidad, with the tail of furi-
Gus hurricane.
The Captain said that the steamer
was at the Port of Spain to take on a
cargo OF sugar October 6. The sugar
was taken on from lighters run along
side of the steamer. A number of men
were on each lighter engaged in trans
ferring the bags of sugar to the Orange
Nassau. In the early part OF the
day the weather was somewhat
rough, but not enough to intefere with
the work of taking on the cargo. At
noon the captain noticed the sky to be
unusually cast off in the northwest He
thought that heavy storm was coming
up, but did not worry about it, as he
considered himself safe in the harbor.
The storm, with a great suddenness,
struck the steamer and swept part of
the harbor with terrific force. The
steamer rolled over under the force OF
without sustaining dn y udludSO'
A heavy pail darkened the heavens
and the hurricane whistled and shrieked
like a thousand demons on debauch.
The lighters received the full hrunt
of the hurricane. As the blow struck
them the crew were at their different
stations of work, not expecting any
danger. The lighters were struck with
great suddenness, and keeled over I'M
der the shock. A mass OF water rose
above them and dashed over the outer
deck, pouring down the hold. The
lighters righted again just as heavy
sea came rolling in. The three lighters
were picked up on this, and as 1t curled
over they staggered under the awful
force of the wind and went sliding down
the big wave. The sea burst over them
and buried them under the surface.
Parts of them were visible for time,
and then quickly disappeared from
view.
Some OF the men who were on the
lighters succeeded In scrambling into
the steamer by the chains and robes.
One man was struggling in the water
alongside the steamer and Captain Van
derest threw rope TO him and pulled
him aboard.
The Captain left the port next day,
but could not learn how many men
were drowned. He said he thought that
several lives had been lost.

THE SIGNS OF THE STARS.
Inserson and AstroIOgy Alike Scored by
Rev e. r. Donehoo.

Rev. Z. II. Donehoo.
Rev. f. r. Donehoo, of the Eighth Presby-
terian Church, West End, took for his sub
ject last evening: lessons From the Stars
The text WAS from Genesis cnapter !, xvi
verse, "Hc made the stars Also He said:
~. Ingersoll las waXed very merry over
the statement in this text. He claims en-
tireIy too little space IS given
TO tile account of the creation of
the heavenly bodies and particularly
TO this parenthetic statement which he ridi-
culcS with sharpest irony. Had he read his
lilDle more carefully he could not have
made such a criticism honestly. Not a
single commentator of the present day in
tcvprets this text to imply the creation of
the sun, moon and stars, but only the setting
apart of them for giving light to the new
made earth, as the vspors which enveloped
constituted light bearers and not
created the fourth day. What
the text really teaches is that the
starry world was just made ready for the
earth on the fourth day of creation. The
first statement tuat desire to ma Ike is that
God made the stars as He made all worlds
and systems. When we look heaVenward
We behold His handiwork in every sun and
star that lights up the vast eNpanse. Those
gems in the brow of night that filled MS with
awe aud wonder in our childhood, which in
Our more mature years appall us with
their numbers and immensity, worlds in
comparison with which this earth seems as
Il mere ~lltck, one anu all OF Ine1n are the
work oi HIS hand who made us and all
things visible and invisible.
I1eu again the attention shown to the
stars in remote ages as God made known to
mankind at the beginning His purpose in
liking those shining orbs in the blue vault
OF heaven that they should be signs for
man : guidance, people naturally often and
deNOtcd!y fixed their eyes upon them in
questionable wonder that they might learn
their lessons with no other book than that
o. nature, they came to regard those heaven
ly lumlnaIles as symbols of the deity,
and thus they gradually came to trans
fer their alterations from the Creator
to those symbols of his wisdom and so they
made the stars their study. Thus astrology,
with Its vain and heathenish ideas became
IN time the one religion for entire nations of
men. They studied their positions in the

WOMAN IN SOCIETY.

Rev. DR. sutherland Talks of Her Particu-
lar Domair-eociaI Reformers Not the
Most Agreeable People in the World
Proper Limitations.
DR.. Sutherland. of the Second Presby-
rerian Church, preached the second OF a
series of sermons to young women last
night. His special theme was: woman IN
Society or the Society Woman, which,
He said: "In discussing the theme OF the
hour l shall use the term society in Its
broadest. its most natural, and most leglti-
mate sense, as meaning the intercourse
between anv community of persons
united together by a common bond of near
ness and mutual interests. In this relation
woman, by virtue of her position and nature,
i fitted and destined to exercise a tremend-
ou> influence 1t Is an admitted fact that
society today is largely what woman has
made it. In social matters man can never be
a dictator or a leader. Man may recognize the
folk. Of certain social habits and customs
and in a mild and consciously helpless way
protest against them. but he has neither the
mower nor the tact to Affect change 1or the
better In society woman is queen whose
sovereignty is all but absolute, and it
should be exercised intelligently and wisely
and with the view of making the social
state as perfect as possible.
Bat lust here let me guard you against
DOSSinlp miSapnrehenSiOn. l do not want
the Young women mere tonight TO away
from this service with the impression that l
would have them turn social reformerS' in
the current and popular meaning oil that
DhraSe-in other words have them turn
Crauks Great social reforms can only
come as the conscience and the tastes
OF individuals are awakened and cultivated.
And even then L anprehend that the
changes will not be such as are very often
and very persistently advocated by some of
our s0-called social reformers. Nor Will they
be brought about suddenly. professional
rcformer, whether man or woman, is in my
opinion neither very useful nor agreeable
member OF society, and would be sorry to
see any of YOU set out TO assume that role.
And vet every one Of you may in the
rTuCSt and most effective sense help to re-
form sOciety-tO Danish out OF it and from it
that which is mean. sordid and debasing.
You may by YOUR character and behavior
help to lift society to a higher plane,
and thus make it serve its God
ordained purpose in this world. In
speaking to you of Woman in Society
have not in mind the person who is at this
day and by way OF distinction spoken of as
a society woman'-a term which generally |
means woman whose father or husband 1
has accumulated sufficient money to |
enable her to dress in the latest and |
most approved fashion and to give |
and attend n round of elaborate and costly |
entertainments each year, winding up by |
spending few months at some fashionable |
seaside resort, with scarcely thought, it
may be, of her Obligations to God or to those |
or her kind less tavorably circumstanced
than herself Her influence in society is the
very opposite of what it ought to be and
might be. To such a woman wealth is a
curse rather than blessing

TALKED TO IHE MYSTIC CHAIN.

Secrecy Not Necessarily an Objection to
Fraternal Organization.
Rev. William Thompson, at st. James

street ana Penn avenue, yesterday ao-
dressed a sermon to che Ancient order
knights of the Mystic Chain. Over zoo men,
bers of the order were present, including
Select Commander Richard Muse and Re-
corder j. J. Davis, of the Supreme lodge.
The sermon was prepared for the
occasion, and was of interest. The
minister upheld select organiza-
tions, especially those founded on
the principles of Christianity. The motto OF
the Mystic Chain, Friendship, Truth ana
Benevolence' commended it to all fair
minded men. The mystery surrounding
such an organization was only in harmony
with nature.
Everything in nature was shroudeo IN
mystery. As the nativity of Christ was mys-
terious so was the growth Of the ivy whlch
casts its branches around the massive OAK
andno one knows why one branch should
grow to the right and another to the le1t
Because an organization was secret IN It's
methods was no argument against its use

work for the Detterment of mankind.
