FLOWERS IN OUR CHURCHES.

/ am DESTROYS that those who have
been brought under my ministry
should see great deal more around
about them than other people are ac-
customed to see. In looking at the
clouds l want them to have some
thoughts higher than those of secular
things. In listening to the winds [
want them to hear something more
than the sounds of mechanical forces.
I want the shaking of the leaves Of
the trees to be as the clapplng of
hands to them. I want the seasons to
be to them preachers. And l want
the influence of all these things to be
on the side of sweetness, faith, hope
and inspiration. Therefore, as [
preach a sweet religion, and not a sour
one, as preach the beauty Of holiness,
and not simply the terrors of the law,
as l preach the bright and glowing
character of the Lord Jesus Christ, [
enjoy having these testimonials of the
garden and the field brought in here.
Especially do I esteem them because
they educate men to go out into the
garden and the field and have flowers
associated with their own imagination.
This cannot be otherwise SO long as
they love flowers in connection with
the worship of God. I do not believe
a child, brought up under my ministry
in this church, will ever see flowers
till he dies without having some
thought Of religion, of the sanctuary,
and of the inspiration of flowers. So,
flowers at our service have meaning.
They are not in any special way a
symbolization; they simply bring
things common into higher relations
on principle of association; and
having them on the platform, besides
affording pleasure, to a certain extent
tent interprets a part of my idea
of the Christian ministry. = From
hitherto unpublished material by
Henry Ward Beecher in the April

The late Jay Gould had double,
gentleman of very scientific turn of
mind He had the same little wizened
features as the arch millionaire, the
same black and ragged blocking beard,
and the same nervous habit of twitch
ing with his fingers and thumbs while
thinking. The resemblance was
heightened by both men having the
same Indifferent taste in dress, par
ticularly as regards a suit Of sober
brown, which the millionaire and the
doctor adopted as their familiar attire,
each unconscious Of the preference of
the other. 1t is said that they only
met on one occasion, and that was at
a winter resort on the coast of New
Jersey. The two men were taking an
early walk on the beach, and they
came toward each other. Both stared
at each other. Both had on similar
suits of brown check. "Mr. Gould, [
believer" said the doctor. 'I am not
quite sure if am,'' was the testy re-
y
clothes like me.'' ssI won't if you
will shave your beard" snapped back
the doctor; and then both men glared
at each other, and passed on. The
doctor was in the habit Of complain
ing to his friends that people frequent
ly stopped him in New York, and
asked his advice in regard to certain
stocks, and at times were very rude
when he attempted to explain that he
knew nothing about Wall Street or
the ways thereof. zone day in par
ticular," he relates, "Iwas slapped on
the back and dug in the ribs by sew
eral perfect strangers, who cried,
How about that cradle?' went home
very much annoyed, and read in an
evening paper that Mr.. Gould had
presented Mrs. George Gould's first
baby with a silver cradle.''

It is a fact which no one disputes,
that nothing worth having is got in
this world without hard work and
waiting. Yet when we set ourselves
seriously to the task of gaining great
good, become astonished and com
plain loudly at the discovery that we
have to work hard and wait long to
get it. This is about as reasonable as
if man should acknowledge that two
and two make four, and should grum
BILE because in his private cash account
he could not make two dollars and
two dollars add up to five dollars.
Nothing we find out in life is more
utterly confoupding than this: that
truth is not only truth in the abstract,
but that it is true for us. It is not
only a copybook axiom, but a vital
fact in life, that If we do good, good is
bound to come out of it; and if we do
evil, we must expect evil. 1t seems
to take a long time before Nature con
vinces each Of us that we live under
her law as individuals in common
with all mankind. We concede that
her law is immutable, but we have
secret conviction that an exception is
to be made in our particular case.

Experience is the best, and often
the most expensive, teacher. There
are two ways of obtaining experience
one by getting it yourself and pay
ing for it, and the other by observing
the experiences of others and profit
cheaper.
In this connection it is interesting
to observe that nearly twelve thous-
and failurers occurred in the United
States and Canada in 1892. Most of
these failurers were attributed to Gin
sufficient capital, "but close analysis
of the reasons given would, we be-
lieve, show that lack of experience
was the foundation of vast MAORI
ty of these misadventures in business
Other causes, of course, are mentioned
OF the II, 600 failures, over one thous-
and were attributed to fraud, nearly
two thousand to incompetence, the
same number to disaster, and over
three thousand three hundred to
''lack of means"
The significant fact is mentioned
that out of all the failures of last year
only one was announced of concern
with a capital Of 100000 or over.
Capital is a very necessary thing in
business, but man with much CAPT
tai and little experience is more like
ly to fail, as rule, than man with a
great deal of experience and little
capital

A nobler man than Admiral Farra-
gut never trod the quarterback. He
entered the navy with a midshipman's
warrant at nine and half years of
age. He was nearly twelve years old
when the Essex was surrendered off
Valparaiso, after fighting two hours
and a half against an immense pre-
prepOnderance of force represented
by the British ships Phoebe and
Cherub. During the action he was
constantly under the captains eye
and conducted himself so gallantly as
to call forth particular mention to the
dispatches. After the capture an
amusing incident occurred on board
the Phoebe. The boy Farragut was
aroused from state of profound de-
lection by seeing pet pig belonging
to the Essex in the custody Of one of
the Phpbe's midshipmen. He at once
set up a claim to the porker as being
private property, and, the claim be-
ing resisted, demanded that the mat
ter should be decided by fisticuffs. A
ring being formed around the two
midshipmen, Farragut, after short
contest, thrashed his opponent and
regained the pig, and with deal of
satisfaction that one Brion had felt
the pangS of defeat.

Preparing for War-Their Recent Silence
Was Merely Temporary Truce.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S0.-The criti
cisms upon President Cleveland for in
reference with or encroachments upon
affairs of the Legislative branch of the
government, have stirred the presi-
dents admirers to prepare themselves
for defensive war. The policy of silence
on the part of democratic senators,
announced by Senator Voorhees,, was
agreed upon only as a temporary trnce,
and to enable the repeal senators to
avoid the embarrassment that would
have been caused by immediate resent.
ment of the allegations against Presi
dent Cleveland. But, as previously
stated, members of both houses are
prming for vigorous defense of Mr.
Cleveland, for aggressive war upon al
who have attacked the president and
his methods.

MlERTz's BIG INSURANCE



Leads to an Investigation Of Els suAdea
Death.
CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 80.-Coronel
Bell Friday began an investigation OF
the death Of August Miertz, who died
last Monday night at his home,s %
Clinton street. A short time before his
death he had his life insured in three
companies for nearly 100000, and the
companies are pushing the investiga-
tion. Mrs. Miertz was on the stand
Friday and said that she procured
divorce in the old country and
married Miertz about nine months
ago, after having lived with him for
several months previous to that time.
Miertz had been i'll about three weeks
when he died A physician made post
mortem examination, and testified chat
he had found arsenic in the brain OF
the dead man. A chemist is now maxi
ing an examination, but has not re-
ported. The woman was taken into
custody and held under So. 900 as a wit
ness. She couldn't furnish the bail,
and was locked in Jail There was a
"star" boarder at the house, John Ko-
bolski He was placed on the witness
stand in the afternoon, and will prob
| ably also be held as witness under
heavy bond.

EXPRESS TRAIN

by Bandits at Gulfport, Miss.
MOBILE, Ala, Sept. 9.-Wednesday
night No through train north-bound
on the Louisville & Nashville, consist
ing of mail, baggage, express, two
coaches and two sleepers, which left
New Orleans at 1850 p. m, was wrecked
by bandits, at Gulfport, Miss.
The train was running 40 miles an
hour when it reached Gulfport, and it
struck an obstruction which hurled the
entire train down an embanlsment.
The killed are: Three Negroes,
names unknown, who were killed out
right
The injured are Frank Coffin, engi-
neer, Mobile, seriously injured in head;
George Morgan, fireman, New Orleans,
leg and head crushed, will die; John
Carpo, mail agent, New Orleans, head
crushed: Joseph Hughes, mail agent,
Mobile, hurt internally.
AS soon as the accident occurred spe-
cial trains with physicians were sent
out from Mobile and New Orleans, and
everything done for the relief of the
| sufferers, who arrived in the city at II
a. m.
This is the second attempt at the
above point to wreck train on the
Louisville e Nashville the first being
unsuccessful.
There is no doubt of an attempt at
robbery, as the mail sack, which was left
on the track, the train not stopping at
Gulfport, was found half mile in the
woods, gutted and its contents scat
tered.
A posse is securing the woods for the
wreckers, and if captured they will
doubtless be lynched.

He is picturing most woeful disaster to

He predicted that in increasing the tar
iff duties on wool he would enhance the
price of the farmers clip. Wool
declined, instead OF advancing.
He declared that the increased
duties on woolen, cotton, iron
glass and other manufactured articles
would increase the wages Of the en-
ployes thereof. What was the result?
Wages declined, cuts We're made,
strikes followed and lock-outs took
place. AS a prophet Mr.. Mckinley is a
miserable failure. No credence should
be put in anything he may say. He is
unable to trace the line between
cause and effect, and is ignorant OF
the relations of supply and demand.

AN ALLIANCE
Of Pennsylvania Manufacturers With
Silver Senators.
They Have Indorscd An Open Letter to the
Senate of the United states Proposing
Basis For the settlement OF
the Great silver Question.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept ga large
number OF Philadelphia manufacturers
have determined to make an effort to
protect their own interests by making
an alliance with the friends OF silver.
To that end they have indorsed an
open letter to the senate of the United
States, written by Wharton Barker,
which proposes basis for the settle-
ment of the silver question by which
silver may be continued as a money
metal.
The manufacturers who have inau-
gurated this movement do not attri-
butte the present hard times to the
Sherman law. They assert that it is
due to the fear that the protective fea-
| ture of the tariff is to be undermined.
| They hold that if assurance were given
that the existing tariff laws would not
| be disturbed for the next two years,
business would take an immediate
boom, mills would start in all parts of
the country, and employment would
be given to thousands Of the working
men.
| While holding these views they also
believe that it would be mistake to
| UemOneUlIe silver. lneSc luulluluC-
turers believe that in many respects
their interests are allied with the mine
owners of the silver states. 1T was
that belief which prompted the move
ment among the Philadelphia manu-
facturers to give encouragement to the
silver senators in their fight to continue
the white metal as Il part of the cur.
rency of the United States.
While the Manufacturers club, as an
organization, has not committed itself
to the movement, many of its leading
members are interested in it. James
Dobson is one of the prime movers, and
his name is at the top of the list oi
signers of Mr.. BarlSer's letter. He ha:
also sent letter over his own name tt
nearly all the manufacturers in the city
asking them to read Mr. Barker's letter
which he inclosed, and if they approvet
of it to sign a blank slip and send thei
names to Mr.. Barker.

THE people of Ohio require not only
state affairs, but ability and economy.
A chief executive may be honest, but if
he is lacking in comprehensive grasp of
the duties which the governship i'm
poses he is unfit for the office. A
governor may be honest, but if he is
unable to control his party, or lacks
courage to remind the legislative
branch of the government of it's un-
pardonable wastefulness and eXtravn-
gance, he is unfit for the office. 1t is
not our purpose to discuss the question
of the personal honesty of Gov. Nc
Kinley, but we have the clear right to
challenge his ability and his courage
in the administration of the states az
fairs. We do not think we do him
wrong when we say that he is the
weakest man that has filed the office
of governor of Ohio within the memory
of eny living man. We are not alone
in this opinion, thousands of republic
ans daily give utterance to the same
vein, and pointedly refer to the failure
of his administration as an affection on
the republican party The truth is
that Gov. Mckinley is so entirely alb
sorbed in himself and his future politi-
cal fortunes, that he has no time to
give to the important duties INSOFAR
able from the governorship. Things
run at skies and sevens, while waste
and extravaganza alone distinguish his
administration, with here and there an
unsavory scandal to add to the disgust
of the people. The personal honesty of
Gov. Mckinley is not sufficient apology
for his failure to bring the rogues,
caught in the act of stealing, to de-
served punishment Nor is his high
personal integrity Of such weight as to
blind the people to the frequent and
shameless ventures which have scan
dalized several of the public institu.
tions Mr.. Mckinley must be respon-
sible to the people. He must answer
at the bar of public opinion for a state
administration void of single act
which elevates it above the commonest
level, while it is burdened with schemes
and weighted with felonious transac-
tions Instead of contining his public
utteranccs, as he did at Akron, to
national questions, he should employ
/ his invention towards purifying the
political atmosphere which surrounds
him and which has been tainted with
smells from the day OF his inaugura-
| ton.
