An Overlooking House and . Powerful
sermon At plymouth Church.

An Overlooking House and . Powerful
sermon At plymouth Church.
Every available foot of space at Ply
mouth church was occupied last night and
many were compelled to stand after all
chair room was filled.
The Introductory solo by Prof Easton
entitled "Are.You Ready" was very pa
thetic and impressive. As the great evan
gelist announced his theme, "Prepare to
Meet Thy God" the attention of the audi
ence became riveted and the spell re-
manned unbrOken till the close. Mr.. Mar
tin presented the necessity of preparation
to meet God. 1t is our sins that make us
afraid to meet God. Nothing will free
man from sin that God has not authorized
for that purpose. The mans condition
must be changed from q state of sin to
state of righteousness. First. mans
heart must be changed and purified by
faith in Christ. Secondly. the life must be
changed from wrong doing to right doing
by repentance. The heart and life must
be changed just to the extent they are
wrong. The sinner may have many good
impulses, affections and desires. These
should not be changed in conversion, but
all that is wrong must be changed.
There Is nothing wrong in . mans pray
ing for faith if he will then 90 to the
source of faith, the Word of God, and
there increase faith by a closer study of
the gospel. Repentance must be between
man and his God and 1t must include
sorrow for sin sufficient to make the man
forsake his sins. The heart being changed
by faith and the life being changed by re-
pentance, the state of the man must be
changed. He must break Off his allegi-
ance to the kingdom of Satan and swear
allegiance to the kingdom of Gods dear
Son. This changes the mans relation to
God. This change Of relation is accom-
plished in Christian baptism. the last act
of the new birth.
The evangelist then cited several scrip
lures and number Of scripture comment
ators to show that the remission of sins
IS not promised in the scriptures without
baptism. The argument was a powerful
chain. that seemed to have no weak link.
He claimed that q changed heart. a
changed life and changed state are all
necessary to prepare a man to meet God.
This must be followed by holy life of SER
vice to God.
At the conclusion of the sermon Mr..
Martin answered queries from the query
box. This is very interesting part of the
service each evening, and full of scriptural
information.
The theme tonight is "New Testament
Conversions"

The question Of building q new church
was discussed and decided last night at a
very large meeting of the congregation of
the First Presbyterian church. 1t was
determined to at once undertake the erec-
ton of church building sufficient to
accommodate the large and growing con-
gregation, and the following gentlemen
were appointed building committee /:
DIR. Samuel Ramsey. Capt. w. r. Ballard,
+. S. Osborne. 4. T. Smart, j. A. Gould. C.
II. Hagan and Charles r. Crane. The
committee will have charge of the work
and are instructed to push the erection of
the building as fast as possible. 1t is
planned to build large enough to cover the
entire lot and afford seating capacity of
1000 or 200. The interior will be finished
with the best of modern appointments.
and the Sabbath school rooms and church
parlors will be arranged to the best al.
vantage.

Coils, owned by the Pacific Improvement com

leave Puget sound and proceed to the Bay city.

bitter tug boat war which has been in vogue for
several months. The Coils and tug Mogul
were the only boats OF any size that have fought
the Puget Sound Towbost Association. The
Mogul has been laid up for some time. The
reason assigned for sending the Coils TO San

THE" LITERARY DISEASE" IN
PARIS.

The recent students outbreak in
Paris has inspired several French writ
ers to disquisitions on the qualities of
course, writes like an excellent bour-
geoiS papa; but perhaps the most inter
esting of these communications is Jules
Lemaitr'S attack on les jeuneS'' Of the
literary world. 1t is quite amusing in
its ferOcity. NJ. Lemaitre says, that
what he calls the literary disease has
OF late been making strange and
frightful progress in France owing to
two causes. One is the old age of liter
allure, which results in a sort of I'M
healthy excitement of the nerves being
one of the conditions Of artistic writ
ing" The other is the fact that litera-
ture, more lucrative in our day than it
has ever been, appears more as a pro-
feSSion to which it is advantageOuS to
devote ones self exclusively. Hence
the ever increasing number of young
writer's, a prOdigious sWarming, q
crowding, fierce, bitter, insensate." For
merly Il writer was generally an honest
man who made books and who the rest
of time lived like other men, and lived
with them. To-day the young littera-
teurs live apart, and really form Il
new variety of the human race" At
about twenty, or sooner, NJ Lemaitre
says, the disease takes hold of them,
and it never lets them go. The conceit
and the ignorance of these unhappy
young men, it appears, know no
bounds, and they are withal marose.
Then banquets, even their cOnversa-
tons over their books, are lugubriOus.
These unfOrtunates talk nothing but
literature. They tear the absent asund-
er during the first hour, and cut up
each other the rest of the time-in
phrases short, outlandish, violent, OBJ
scure. Each thinks only Of himself and
defies the others" This is an awful
picture

FISH IN ANCIENT MOaTs
Pike and Carp Live Longer Than Apv
Other Species Of Fish.

The zoology of these ancient moats
Is as deeply interesting as their botany.
Therein lounge about pike and carp
which may be a century old, the for
mer running TO twenty-five and thirty
pounds weight and the latter eight and
nine. This fact / can verify, because
nave had to take museum casts Of
1hem Tor my own purpose. In pre-
reformation times fish ponds were as
necessary to a country honse as y
kItchen garden is now, says Good
Words.
There We're the Fridays all through
the year, when nothing but fish diet
was allowed, and the forty DAYS of
Lent, IN short, the dietary menu die
tated by the church extended over one
fourth of the entire year In the east
ern counties, particularly where there
are no salmon and trout streams. If
was important to have stews and
meats, where pike, carp, perch and
still coarser fish could breed, grow fat
and be utilized for the table. The
fish was as regularly fed from the oriel
windows which overlooked the moat as
the doves behind the hall.
! Naturalists are aware that both pike
and carp can individually live per-
| haps longer than any other kinds of
! fishes. Being confined to what we call
| coarse fish, the culinary skill of the
| lady jewellers in these moated houses
was directed to making the most of
them. Hence the comparatively large
number of recipes still lingering in
our cookery books for preparing carp,
pike and perch for the table, although
few people care to try the result twice
The carp. coarse in texture through
its flesh may be, muddy in flavor, can,
nevertheless, if stewed in wine, be
! converted into a palatable Wand, as
every one who has ramped along the
French and German villages bordering
/ the larger rivers is aware.

WONIANHOOD.

All skilIful hands in other days,
The poets, priests and premiers great,
Employed their craft in divers ways

IvOry-wnite.
And jeWel-bright;
And all the world declared twas

A throne was meet for womanhood.
But queens have left their thrones

Have dotted their crowns and said

That royalty itself might bow,
And through the populace have
moved
TO serve and pray.
And go their way;
And none have numbered, though they

THE BOOKWORM.

The whole day long 1 sit and read
OF days when men were men indeed
And women knightlier far;
| fight with Joan of Arc; | fall
With Talbot; from my castle wall
I watch the guide star
But when at last the twilight falls
And hang about the bOok-lined walls,
And creepS across the page,
Then the enchantment goes and I
Close up my volume with a sigh,
To greet a narrower age.
Home through the pearly dusk I go,
And watch the London lamplight glow
Far off in wavering lines;
A pale gray world with primrose
CLEANS,
And in the west a cloud that seems
My distant Apprentices.
Oh, Life! so full of truths to teach,
Of secrets I shall never reach;
Oh, world of here and now
Forgive, forgive me, if a voice,
And more to me than thou!
A ghost, memory, be my choice.

FASHION NOTES.
What. Modish Women Are Wearing
These Days.

A new notion for the trimming of
dress skirts is a series of butterfly
bows about the hem. The effect of
this trimming is particularly good
when the material of the costume is
shot and the bows are of one Of the
cOlorS producing the shot effect.
Panama hats, trimmed with bands
of velvet on cOlored roSettes and shad-
ed wings, are much worm especially
for boating purposes.
Black MORE, which is always in
vogue i'll Paris, is used in wide ribbons
for ruches and collarettes edged with
rows of jet spangles. A single full
ruche of black MORE ribbon with
double capes below it reaching TO the
tips of the shoulders is mOdish worn
with toilets Of various cOlors.
Among the new hats and gowns for
e;>r4y Ian winch are already here in
the hands OF the wholesalers not only
is green combined with blue, violet
and amber, but blue and green are
mixed to form a peculiar shade.
Satins which can be compressed
within the smallest space without
creasing are known as liberty satins.
These durable and dainty fabrics are
not only used for waists, vests and
other accessories for cloth gowns, but
for entire costumes.
All-black organdie and grenadine
dresses are trimmed with ribbon and
lace, rs jet spoils the light, delicate
effect desired in summer gowns.
A novelty in trimming is ivory jet
upon black net in tiny disks, with a
thick fringe of black and ivory.

Adjusted THE MATTER.
Difference of Opinion Between the Fat
and the Thin Man

Chicago Tribune: ''Whewr' said the
fat man, as he mOpped the perspira-
ton from his brow and crowded the
thin man against the side of the seat
of the open car. No one suffers like
fat man in this weather"
"Indeed?' remarked the thin man
sarcastically, as he tried to get little
more room.
YES" continued the fat man, 1--WE
have more troubles than any one in
the summer time. I haven't had
comfortable moment today"
You hayen't?"
mo, [ haven't. Do you think I look
comfortable now?"
NO, I don't; but possibly you think
[ am comfortable. A fat man always
thinks he has the worst of it, but he
isn't in it with a thin man. Do you
suppose if you had got this seat first
any one would have come along and
squatted down beside you and crowded
you up against the rail? No, sir. You'd
have spread your anatomy over it, and
held the whole seat until you got off
But it's different with a thin man.
He walks three or four blocks so as
to be sure to get a good seat, and gets
hind hin and a medium-sized man into
the one in front. Then along comes
another big feIlow-one of these fat
freaks who couldn't stand up without
blocking the aisle or even the plat
form. He looks along the, car and
spies the thin man, and then he comes
ana plunks himself into the seat, and
the thin man is crushed up against
the side and heated by the great mass
of fieshb and he practically isn't in it.
He's in luck if he doesn't have some
bones broken. Wv don't you pick out a
man of your own size some timer"
Look here, sir; you're getting per-
sonal Do you mean to say that fat
man has no rights on a carp
NO, sir: He has too alfred many
for the price he pays. They ought to
have scales, on every street corner and
charge for avoirdupois. Then a thin
man would have some chance"
The fat man was breathing so hard
that every breath made the thin man
groan as, he was squeezed against the
side of the seat, but the latter was
game. FINALLY the fat man blurted out:
I'm q bigger man than you are, but
/ have half o mind to punch your
head
That's all right" retorted the thin
man.. I'm q smaller man than you
are, but I'm quicker, and you'd never
hit me but ONCE"
What would you do?'
I'D belt you in the stomach"
They glared at each other fer a mo-
ment, and then the fat man surrend-
cred.
"A thin man does have a pretty hard
time Of it, he said. It's these medi-
um-sized fellows that have it easy"
They agreed on that and, trouble
was averted.
