A CrsTOMuOUsE BROKER LOSES A FINE FUR
COAT. BECAUSE 1T DID NOT FIT THE
MAN WHO sMUGCLED IT.
There is one man In New-York who Is earnestly
hop,ng that the city will not be visited by cold
wave, at least for few days, or uhti ne can
make his peace with the customs officials
The man is a member of one Of the oldest and
most prominent customs brokerage firms in the
port and yesterday morning saw his new $500
fur overcoa; carried away by an inspector. The
coat had Just arrived from Europe in the bottom
of a trunk belonging to a man about twenty years
old VINO said his name was j. j. iowartson' ana
that he lived in New-York CITY. This young man
was a passenger on the White star steamer Ma
iestc which arrived in port yesterday morning
from Liverpool. Inspector Costello examined his
baggage.
That's a mighty fine coat you've got here"
said Mr.. Costello. when he ran across the Persian
lamb coat does it 6eong to y1n' answer "1vs
had it long time"
Worn it any?
Inspector Costello dismissed the matter from his
none more about eSt until ha an hour later when
saw either the same coat or us twin nfother coming
belong to you?'
The man with the coat stopped. turned red ana
finally stammered that it did not, and explained
that it belonged to a young friend, and that he
Inspector Informed him that ne would have TO
inquire into the matter. the man said he ana not
want to cause any trouble to his friend. and he
would take the coat back again and give IT 70 him
That won't help matters any said Mr.. Cos
telo: III have to take You to the office. There
the and coat were taken. and Mr.. HowartsOn
brought in later The latter corroborated his
friends story, and insisted that the coat belonged
TO him.
Colonel Storey the chief inspector.
Put it on the young nam had to. and It was then
discovered that IL about six sizes too big Tor

"Well. if had my heavy underwear II would

THE TRUE CIVILIZATION.
AsERMON BY RABBI EDWARD N. cALIscH

IRON evils understanding.--Job xx viii
We often speak of civilization and of the
progress of the human race, but were we asked
to define civilization, it is quite possible that
there would be variety of answers. We de-
clare that some nations are civilized, some
seml-civilized, and Others barbarous and sava-
ge. Yet again We would differ vastly in our
replies, were we called upon to define the
marks and limitations, by which we discrimi-
mated between one nation or one people and
another. Emersons says that civilization
should be defined negatively, "a nation that
has no iron, no clothing, no alphabet, no
marriage, no arts Of peace, no abstract thought.
we call barbarous. To render that affirma-
lively would be to say that a nation that has
clothing, has iron, has alphabet and arts of
peace, is civilized. This is the general thought
Of civilization, material progress, invention
and discovery. We say to-day, look at the
fruits of mans marvellous genius and skill.
See the iron horse eating his way over mea-
dows and plains, through valleys and noun
tains, by day and by night, with tireless and
unceasing strength. See the gigantic grey
hounds Of the ocean ply the trackless main.
and defy distance, danger, time and wind. See
the miles of territory lighted and bereft Of
light by the pressure Of button. See how
man yokes the lightning to his carriage Of
pleasure, and to his wagon Of labor how he
bends it to the aid of his ear, and his eye and
his speech. Note how the sun draws his pict-
ures for him, how the moon gives motive
power to his mills how man unlocks from
natures grasp her most reluctant secrets and
penetrates the innermost recesses of her be-
ing. His range is through all the realms of
space, and the starry worlds are numbered in
the tale of his knowledge. The ocean depths
are uncovered and the monsters thereof weld
of their possessions to answer his needs and !
the demand of his luxuries. The bowels of the
earth disgorge their treasures, and the reins of
the mountains give up their riches, while con-
quering man builds high the palaces of pleas.
ure, comforts, Commerce, art instruction and
amusement.
Consider all these and you have the distin.
gushing marks of civilization, and by which
it is known and recognized. But are these the
true and final fruits of human progress? Do
material advancement and mechanical achieve
ment alone mark the end and ultimate fruit
age of mans thousands Of years Of existence
These are only the outward and apparent
evidences, the shell that encompasses the
kernel, they are only the media of his truer
progress
What man has accomplished in the material
world is only of value, as it becomes useful in
developing and aiding his spiritual life AS
he benefit of travel lies not in the distance
Taversed, nor in the cities passed through or {
he sights seen, but in the mental stimulus ,
in the new knowledge given, and I

P.NJoo0, ~ .no threatening, uoepenlng ana
frightening of our spiritual realm, in the
developement and culture of the individual
and the sense Of LIES responsibilities
We have met and overcome the stoutest OBJ
stacles the material world has had to offer, but
we have not as well nor as fully answered the
call of moral obligation, nor assumed and
borne the burden of life's broadcast duty.
One of the boasts of our progress lies in the
facilities of transportation. We have the most
magnificent and beautiful of vestibuled trains.
Palaces, whose opulence was not dreamed of
BY oriental despot, whose conveniences and
luxuries are not found in the homes of most of
those who use them, are placed upon wheels
and made to spin over the earth at the rate of
sixty miles an hour. Every device, that in
genuity can invent and skill can execute, is
made use of to make perfect this consumma-
ton of our civilization. But often - too
often-the fearful, fatal crash is heard. There
is wreck, and scores of human lives are lost :;
human bodies mangled and crushed in fright
full manner. What has caused it? Nine
times out of ten, it is the remote result of cor
poration greed, that made one track do where
two should be placed, that worked employees
till exhausted nature asserted herself, that
took no proper precautions to secure the lives
Of its passengers, that held human life cheaper
than rails or rolling stock.
We have magnificent hotels that again are
the acme of material progress. They are up
holstered and carpeted as royal palace, they
have mirrored elevators, that take one as
softly to the eighth floor as the drifting of a
sigh, there are electric bells, and electric
annunoiators, and beds of furniture of artistic
workmanship.
But a fire breaks out, and scores of human
lives are lost, and human bodies charred ia
indistinguishable cinders, because there were
no saving appliances no fre-escapes, no con-
venient means of egress, because human life
was held cheaper than mirrors and carpets and
elevators.
We call our government triumph of civil
cation. We boast of our ballot and suffrage.
Of citizenship and of the will of the people be-
ing the law of the land. But we would own
4 we confessed the truth, that jobbery, and
theft and venality form, not the exception, but
he characteristic Of most of our municipal
governments, and even those of state. Nav.
i has smirched the very capitol at Washington.
We must in shame confess that with every
building of any size that is built for municipal
county, state or federal government, there are
ieals and jobs and populations, that private
profit more than public good is zealously
pursued. The ermine of Justice is not free
rom stains, and the very ballot of which we
,oast, is often made the vehicle to thwart.
ather than to express, the will of the sovereign
eople.
We have public institutions for penal.
correctional and medical pur-

lums but we know that violence and pollu-
ton and theft and dishonor are housed within
their walls, that superintendent and over
seers and officers are caring for naught save
their own interests, that in them human life
is held cheaper than gold and profit.
Shall we say then that our material achieve
ments are the measure of our civilization, and
shall we accept them as the standard of our
progress to say, Behold these things we have
wrought" By no means. ,
The true civilization shall not build cities
but men, the true test of civilization is, not
the census, nor the size of cities, nor the crops
no, but the kind of men the country turns
out" Emerson, Society and Solitude, p. 34).
When Moses brought the people to the borders
of the promised land, they were found to be
unfit and unready to enter it, and were COM
PEELED to wander forty years in the desert, un-
till they should become prepared to meet the
conditions and requirements of independent,
selfgovernment. Shall it be said that we, ON
the borderland of the twentieth century, and
of untold and mechanical and artistic possib Ii
ties, shall it be said that we are not ready to
meet them? Has our civilization been only
veneer of beauty, applied externally, and that
within we are no nobler, no truer, no better
than our primordial parents? Shall it be that
the wisdom and the understanding, which we
have acquired, shall be that only which gives
q fair front to falsehood, calls dishonor by
sweeter name, hides roguery under suavity of
manner, enphemizes lewdness and cloaks the
doings of the devil with the livery of heaven?
Let the advances and triumphs of the mater
ial world be but the means of the advance and
triumph of the moral man. Let them all be
but the chariot wherein shall ride the true
the civilization that makes for
honor, for integrity, for tolerance, for peace,
for the recognition of the sacredness of human
life, for wisdom in things spiritual, for UNDER
standing in the highest and the hottest.
We shall build railroads and steamships.
We shall speed DER earth and ocean and ami
hilate distance between nation and nation, but
it shall be that we may thereby better know
our distant fellow-man, that we may clasp him
by the hand, and look into the eye, and learn
that he has hopes, ideals, aspirations and ambi
lions, that though expressed in different
tongue are still the same as ours that distance,
language, and cline forgotten, all human be-
ngs are human, and of one common brother
hood.
We shall range the ornamental realms
we shall call and count the starry worlds, fol-
ow the planets in their orbits and listen to
5he music Of the spheres, we shall delve into
5he earth, and penetrate natures yelled arcana,
put it shall be to see and recognize the un-
'peakable wisdom that devised them and the
infinite power that called them into being.
Mans triumphant march in the material
world is but the prelude to his advance in

An artist whose bachelor apart
ments are dream OF beauty, 10
which, In view Of his supersensitive
taste, his friends tremble 10 add
aught, confded to friend that the
gift which delighted him most came
from his washerwoman. He found
nothing save q positive offense from
man who had been Graded in lovo-
liness, surrounded by all that refines,
and with an income Of $3.50, 900 year
upon which to draw. Yet his pres
ent to the small, delicate featured
painter-who could no more wear a
silk hat than could baby--was q
yellow leather hatbox lined with
vivid red.
The washerwoman, who was Eng
lish, had had the good fortune to live
near the Dickens family in Tavistock
square, and the good wit to attend
an auction Of their family effects
prior to a moving. Thus she secured
a little china ring stand that had
stood on the novelist's desk and held
his multifarious rings while he wrote.
OF course the artistic home had no
greater treasure than this inexpen-
sive offering. Chicago Times.

The Referendum In Ireland.

There is phrase that conveys vague
but painful impression of alarm to the
minds of large number of excellent
Englishmen-"Ameri politics" t"
The general idea is of lot of common
people having the right to do things
which cannot be foreseen and inter
rupting comfortable and therefore safe
and respectable conditions. But the new
Gladstone administration has gone step
further in this direction than we Ameri-
cans had thought Of going. 1t has pro-
posed to introduce in Ireland what is
known as the referendum, adapted from
the practice of the Swiss confederation.
The home rule bill provides that in the
case of disagreement between the up
per and lower houses of the Irish legis-
lature which cannot be settled by con-
ference the question shall be referred to
the popular vote. This Is of course a
logical development of the English sys-
tenn under which a ministry, defeated
on an important vote, appeals to the
country, but the new process is much
more simple and direct and may be much
more sweeping.-Harper's Weekly.
