Efficacy of Prayer.
| BROOKLYN, Sept. 17.-In his sermon at
the Brooklyn Tabernacle this forenoon
Rev. DR.. De Witt Talmage preached to a
vast audience on the subject Of "Re-en-
forcement," the text being Luke xvii, s.,
Lord, increase our faith"
"What pity he is going there, - said my
friend, most distinguished general of the
army, when he was told that the reason
for my not being present on q celebrated
day in Brooklyn was that on that day had
sailed for the Holy Land. "Why do you
say thatW inquired some one. NY mill
tary friend replied, "Oh, he will be disillu-
stoned when he gets amid the squalor and
commonplace scenes of Palestine, and his
faith win be shaken in Christianity. for
that is often the result" The great gen
eral misjudged the case.
went to the Holy Land for the one pur-
pose Of having my faith strengthened, and
that was the result which came Of it. In
all our journeying, in all our reading, in
all our associations, in all our plans, aug
faith, should be our chief desire. It is easy
enough to have our faith destroyed. I can
gige you q recipe for its 0bliteratinn. Read
iniidel books, hsye long and frequent con
versations with skeptics, attend the lee
lures Of those antagonistic to religion, give
full swing to some bad habit, and YOUR
faith will be so completely gone that you
will laugh at the idea that you ever had
any. If you want to ruin your faith, you
eau do it more easily than you can do any
ching else.
After believing the Bible all my life I /
can see a plain way by which in six weeks /
/ could enlist my voice and pen and heart /
and head and entire nature in the bonn /
bardment otthe Scriptures, and the church, /
and all now hold sacred. That it IS easy
10 Danish soon and forever all respect for
lhe Bible prove by the fact that so many
nave done it. They were not particularly
1rainy nor had especial force of will, but
hey so thoroughly accomplished the over
hrow of their faith that they have no more
dea that the Bible is true or that Chris
ianity amounts to anything than they
lave in the truth of the Arabian Nights
Entertainments" or the existence of Don
luixots's ''windmills.n They have de-
troyed their faith so thoroughly chat they
ever will have a return Of it.
Fifty reYiyals of religion may sweep over
he city, the town, the neighborhood, where
hey live, and they win feel nothing but a
lent or expressed disgust. There are per
ons in this house today who 20 years AGO
ave up their faith, and they will never re-
Ime it. The black and deep toned bell of ,
oom hangs over their head, and take the
ammer of that bell, and strike it three
mes with all my might, and it sounds,
Woel woel woe" But my wish, and the
ish OF most of You, is the prayer expressed

nTetnI Ties Fnr Rnndheds-

Numerous metal ties have been invent
ed and many railroads have tried them,
but all have proved unsatisfactory. The
principal objections to them are based
on their cost and their nonelasticity. A
track laid on metal ties wears out roll

DELAWARE, o. April 21.-The outrageous
hazinR performance of the students OF
the Ohio Wesleyan university is assuming
proportions far greater than was antici-
pa,ed. Some of the young students at
Monet hall, belonging to the university,
caught the haziug specials and fell
upon some of their sister school
mates. About twenty young women,
the same evening the boys suffered,
got strong solution OF nitrate of silver
and proceeded to brand six or seven of
their school friends on their Decks, breasts,
arms and hands for the purpose, it is
claimed, of so dis figuring them that they
would be unable to wear evening dress at
the senior reception last evening. They lay
in wait for them until after midnight,
when the girs were returning from their
society meeting in theiS hall.
This occurrence. coupled with
the outrage of the male students
has added fuel to the excitement. Some
Of the students last evening set one of the
frame buildings on the college campus on
fire and il was entirely consumed. Tho
fact has developed that the students who
LAID the branding to the boys were not
sophomores, but an aggregation OF slug
gers elected from the lower classes. One
of the mum Der. Mickey Harold. is not a
student at all, having graduated last year.
The others are Holly Farrer of Lon
don, O.. Waite Phelas OF fredericksburg.

tho Rev. i. A. Belt; Will Innis of Column

are members OF the ID. y. A. which is not

men who were bound with ropes, burned
with red hot shovels on their backs and
branded on each cheek, chin and FORE
head, with the letters ID. .. A.

flesh with a sharp pointed stick are Joe

rested this morning and taken before the

April % and they were released under
bond of $500 each. \ civil suit was COM
menced this afternoon by the victims of
the branding for 100000. The faculty OF
the Ohio Wesleyan university will hold a
session TO investigate the outrage.

MRS. HANCOCK DEAD.
Demise OF the Wife of Maj. Gen. w. s.
Hancock.

NEW YoRK. April 2O.-After a lingering
illness OF many months Mrs. Almina Han
cock, widow of Maj. Gen. Winfield S. Han
cock. died this afternoon at the residence
of the generals niece, Mrs. Eugene
Griffin, l Gramercy park. Mrs. Han
cocks strength had been slowly wasting
away under the subtle influence OF a sue
cession of sorrows that had subdued her
naturally cheerful disposition and with
drawn her from society during the
latter years of her lie. Her only
daughter, Ada Elizabeth, a remark
ably beautiful and accomplished girl,
died in this city on the 18th OF March,
1875, a. the age of eighteen. Her mother.
Mrs. Adeline Russell, died at the generals
official residence on Governors leland on
the 9th of April 1883. Her only son
Russell, died in Mississippi on the Both OF
December, 1884. These bereavements
were followed by the death of her hus-
band at Governors island on the 9th of
February. 1886 Thus one otter another
the immediate members of her family
passed away like dissolying views from
her ideal home.
In the summer OF 1891 Mrs. Hancock
went to Europe where change of air and
scene soon wrought marked improve.
ment in her health. During this divert
ing sojourn in foreign lands, something of
the vivacious charm OF her joyous youth
came back to her now and then, but only
for time. Overexertion in Europe and
particularly her preparations for return
had developed serious form OF nervous
prostration which was aggravated by the
winter voyage home. After her arrival
IN 81 Loot NA~a,ohap hn I'D a
relapse from which she never rallied.
She continued TO grow weaker until death
resulted from complete exhaustion of the
vital forces. Mrs. Hancock's qualities of
mind and heart commanded the admira-
ton and affection OF her friends and rela-
tives. She had charming personality. a
sunny disposition and grace OF manner
that fascinated everyone who came within
her influence Among the conspicuous
attributes OF her character we're her for
titude, keen intelligence. unseltish regard
for others and that exquisite refinement
OF nature which revealed high degree Of
spirituality.
Three grandchildren, two girls and a
boy, the children OF Russell Hancock, her
only brother, Oliver Russell and her two
cousins. Mrs. Emma Bcuvier of this city,
and Mrs. Ward. wife of Capt. @. S. L.
Ward OF the army, are the nearest sur
yiving relatives. Mrs. Hancock was de-
scended on her mothers side from two Of
the oldest Huguenot families of New
York. Her maternal grandfather. Oliver
DuboYs. removed from New York to
Ohio, and then to St. Louis, which latter
plscea became his home for many years,
and sfterward the home of Mrs Han
cocks parents.
Mrs. Hancock was born in st. Louis,
and the remains will be taken there for
burial
