THE SERMON.
HE WHO LOVES NO ONE BUT GOD, DOES
 NOT TRULY LOVE GOD.
-ISelected.

My text beloved is taken from the apothegus of Sophosicles 'He who loves no one but God ,does not truly love God"
 Our preacher seems to be talking in paradoxical vein, in the statement of the text. For in general, people have an idea that man who loves God IS surely all right. But let us unravel the mean ing from the text, and see what the wise man was driving at. Probably in ancient as in modern times there were some peo- pie who were pious on Sunday. They went to every service straight, were ready with loud amen at the end of every prayer, and sang through their noses with gusto that was like bugle | blast. If you were to judge them by their Sabbath performances you would consider them housetop saints.
 BUT WATCH THEM MONDAY MORNING and you would see them set the dog on the poor man who came to the back door to ask for work and bite of food. You would see them on Tuesday raising the rent on the poor old hovel that one of the workingmen lived Tn because he wanted the floor fixed to keep his little boy from catching the croup. Wednes- day would find them planning to make 10 per cent reduction in the wages of their help; and so the week would pass in deeds that showed no love for human l ity after all the professions of love to God. Doubtless also the preacher met | those who pretended to be very spiritual l ly minded. They did not want the par son to preach about such sublunary | things as rum holes and note shaw ing and foreclosing mortgages. They wanted to suspend him metaphori- cally about 2000 feet up in the air and have him talk about love and joy and the rewards of heaven but never tell them that they were making little hell here below by their meanness.
 BUT EVEN THE MINISTERS
 have to kick their toes in the dust in or der to get hold of humanity and lift them up to God. believe that old Sophosicles must have run across some of those old Pantheists who taught that part of God was in every man. And so humanity was in measure detied and God could not be loved alone because the children of men were part and parcel of the Divine. 1 read a story the other day which think has a little bearing on this {

NEW PRESTON
THE CATTLE MARKET.

The cattle market here continues live ly and we'll patronized. Snow and storm does not obstruct or hinder the business of the enterprising firm of Granniss & Hosford. Invoices of cows, steers, calves and heifers arrive two and three days each week to their barns here. Thursday of last week, F. J. Hosford thought it was good time to put on the yoke to his best pair of oxen and take lesson in twirling the OK whip, of which previously he has had but a limit ed knowledge. The snow being deep, he thought the pair could not make greater headway on the road than he could, so the yoke was put on and the oxen started towards the sled which was designed they should draw, when loaded with wood, during their exercise. A deep ditch near the sled seemed to be by Hosford entirely forgotten as he "Gee-Haw'd' them up to it. Suddenly the off side OK stepped down and almost | out of sight. The OK for some moments was so surprised he made no effort to rise. He was obliged to release him from the yoke and start the mate to- wards the stable before the submerged one showed any inclination to strive to extricate himself from the sluice Then he slowly arose through three feet of snow and with his mate and driver they all wended their way back again to the stable, the lesson and exercise with oxen for that day ended with Hosford who decided to wait till his partner hap. pened around.

LOOKING RACkMARnS

The sleighing in some places was grow ing very thin, but to-day's storm promises to patch it up again. The drifts remind the writer of hls younger days on the farm in Central New York. when the snow generally filled the woods from fence to fence as high as the tops of the posts. Many are tue day he has spent, in breaking them out, and even now, oft IS the time. when his mind wanderS back to the farm and the many days of hard work he has put in there, es specially dur ing vacation time, when having and har vest was at it's height and 100 acres of standing grass to be made into hay star ed him in the face, and night and morn- ing from p to 30 cows came home ask ing some one to milk them. It is pleas ant to look back upon those times, but though we usually do it without mur- muring, these were times when it seemed rather hard, and we suspect we were about the same as the average farm lad of to-day. In those days we heard little about the "cranks'' you read of in the newspapers, but the farmers boy al- ways found plesty of "cranks' to turn. Every morning, until we were promoted to the honor of grinding the scythes our selves, there was the grindStone crank to be wrestled with ;Jhen every other morn- ing and sometimes twice in the morning. there was the churn crank to be looked after and from nine to l5 gallons of cream to be made into butter. We were always thankful for an occasional rainy day, when the fish pole was eagerly sought and we made attempts to add to the fam fly larder mess of nondescript fish or caught bait for night lines But all this happened from 15 to p years ago. Oh. how time flies, That boy is the man now, but the same old farmers boy is there and doing much the same now as then, though he wears different name, and has the benefits of improved machin- cry and better times.

ONE KILLED, SEVEN INJURED.
Shocking Street Car Accident in
Tacoma, Wash.


Tacoma, Wash, Oct. IA shocking
street car accident occurred about mid
night, in which George C. Chandler,
general agent of the Northern Pacific
in this city, was killed and several
other passengers injured. The car was
returning from the Interstate fair
grounds, and was crowded with pas
sengers. Chandler and other gentlemen
were standing on the platform. be-
hind the motorman. AS the wheels
struck the crossing of North Second
street, the axle on the front truck
broke near the right wheel The car
left the track, plunged along at an
acute angle to the right of the rails
for a rod. and then fell on it's left side
Mr.. Chandler who was then on the
steps, fell underneath the car. The
heavy wood and iron work struck his
face, killing him instantly and crush
ing his head to a shapeless pulp. So
dreadfully was his head crushed that,
although one of the best known men in
Tacoma, his identity was in doubt
when the remains were first removed
from the wreck, and was only ascer-
tanned by examining his watch, upon
which his name was engraved. His
body was removed to the morgue.
" dlO--lSI pSsSSSllSSI,
was forced down by the struggling
mass of passengers. The iron roof of
the car fell upon his right leg, pinion-
ing him to the ground. tearing the flesh
and decorating the limb terribly.
The others were all injured either
by falling from the platform or by be-
ing thrown violently against the break
ing glass of the windows. Those in
jured in the accident are:
James F. O'Brien, deputy county
clerk, right leg mangled.
Ed r. Hare, left shoulder dislocated.
NJ Sidney. real estate agent, hurt
about the face.
Mrs. NJ. Sidney, bruised and cut in
several places.
Miss Bertha Laughton, rendered in
sensible, cut about the head.
A w. Latham, badly bruised.
Mrs. William H. Upton, Portland,
slightly bruised.

The Case Arainst Wbam.

Vancouver, Wash, Oct THE trial
of Major Wham, paymaster of the
United States army, promises to be a
protracted one. The court has adj
journed for twenty days to give the
prosecution opportunity of securing evil
dence substantiating the charge. Judge
Advocate Mcclure procured a certified
copy of the judgment upon the amend
ed complaint in the case of Holcomb
VS.. Wham, but being unable to obtain
sworn dispositions upon which said
judgment was rendered, the same flav-
ing disappeared from the files of the
New York court, the judge advocate re-
quested an adjournment for twenty
days, in which he expects to secure the
deposition of Beach, Major Wham's at
torney- in the Holcomb suit, corrobora-
ting the allegations contained in the
specification, the documentary evidence
thus far being entirely insufficient to
sustain the charge. It appearN that
both the original complaint in the case
and the dispositions upon which the
Judgment on the amended complaint
against Wham was rendered have dis
appeared from the files of the New
York court and the copy upon which
the war department was urged to pro-
coed against Wham cannot be verified
by the records, as the clerk of the New
York court both telegraphed andswrote
that they could net be found.

SENSATIONAL ESCAPE.
Prisoners Take French Leave a,
BeIlaire. MARYLAND


Bellaire, Md, Oct. George Sage,
the notorious swindler, who Travelled
under the name of Horace Baker and
a dozen aliases, made a sensational es-
cape from Jail here early this morning.
He took with him Thomas Kane, COM
mitted for robbery, and Sam Kelly,
charged with assault.
Sheriff Hughes had locked the Jail
about o'clock, and at $50 o'clock Sam
Kelly picked the lock on his cell and
then sawed the lock on the door be-
hind which stood Thomas Kane. After
releasing the latter, both went to the
George Sage. Then the trio went into
in which Manuel Turner and James
Wilmer, colored boys who work in the
Jail yard, slept. Kelly picked a hole to
the third floor through the ceiling,
while Sage and Kane covered the boys
with pistols. The hole through which
they gained entrance to the third floor
was IL by inches Having gained this
point, they went to a far window over
looking the Jail warden's Office and
sawed two bars, each an inch square.
The sheets from the beds of the
three prisoners were torn into long
strips. These were tied together, max
ing a secure rope, by means of which
the men descended in safety to the
ground. AS soon as they were gone,
about 2 o'clock, Wilmer and Turner
gave the alarm. Sage was to have
been tried at the November term of
court for swindling the Hartford
County National bank last April.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK.
Reduction in the Size of the Holding
is Recommended.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Captain H. G.
Gale, of the Fourth cavalry, acting SUI
perintendent Of the Yosemite National
park, California, has submitted his re-
port to the secretary of the interior.
He says there are many misunder-
standings, owing to the private owner
ship of land in the park. 1t would be
wise, he believes. for the government
to purchase the timber land in the
park, and he thinks it would be advis-
able for commission to be appointed
to appraise all land owned by private
parties and learn if it could be secured.
Game in the park is on the increase.
The report recommends a reduction
in the size of the park, by withdrawing
the mining and agricultural lands, and
advocates the addition of natural in
stead Of artificial boundary lines. The
reduction would throw out about TWEEN
ty townships, and leave the balance of
the park almost wholly in possession of
the government.

Fitzsimmons' Jaw Ways @
Again.

Philadelphia, Oct. 7.-Fitzsimmons
arrived here tonight and talked freely
of his controversy with Corbett, whom
he is to meet in New York on Thurs
day with reference to the proposed
fight. When asked if the date suited
him, as set by Corbett after July :, he
said:
mo, that date does not suit for sew
eral reasons. In the first place there
are others to be consider.1 besides
Mr. Corbett. What about the club?
They must have protection. Not enc

of $25, 900 except at such a time az they
see a way in which to make il back
again. The purse has alreary been Of
fered, but July would be very late
date for New Orleans, and the club
could not give such an amount, as they
would not be able to get it III at the
gate. 1t is for them to set the cate
and Corbett must make his arrange
ments accordingly. Just what he may
do in the matter, cannot say, but l
will not agree to any such indefinite

viii Not Plumber Pekin.

London, Oct. S.-A Standard dispatch
from Berlin says the negotiations of
the powers with the United States
with view to the joint protection of
their subjects in China are said to be
much advanced by the Anglo-French
agreement on the subject, and a gen.
eral entente may shortly be expected.
The dispatch further says Austria has
entrusted the protection of her SUBJ
jects in China to Germany
The Japanese government has just
instructed Field Marshal Yamaga to
inform the diplomats at Seoul that he
will not allow the Japanese army to
plumber Pekin, in case that city is TAX
en-. This assurance will probably. in
duce the diplomats to stay in Pekin,
even should the emperor leave the cap
ital. They will, at any rate. attempt
to negotiate peace by asking Japan to
be moderate in her demands
The emperor's palace in Pekin is now
guarded by Mantchu troops only.
The japanese army advancing on
Pekin is said to have many Coreans in
tits ranks. The recent statement that
American officers had entered the JAP
anese army has been rectified. 1t now
appears that General Ruggles, of the
American general staff, and several
other American officers were permitted
by the Japanese government to follow
the campaign, but solely as specta-
tors.

OLIVER WENDELL HOMES.
The Great Writer Passes Away mt
His Residence, Beverly Falls
Farm.


Beverly, Mass, Oct. 7.-Oliver Wen
dell Holmes died at his residence at
Beverly Falls Farm, this afternoon.
Oliver Wendell, Holmes was born at
Cambridge, Mass, August 29, 1903. He
graduated at Harvard college, in 1922
and began the study of law; which he
soon abandoned for that of medicine
After taking his degree of M. D., he
spent some time in the hospitals in
Paris and other European countries.
He returned to Boston in 1885, and be-
gan practicing. In 1888, he was elected
professor of anatomy and physiology
in Dartmouth college, and in 1S47 was
appointed to similar professor5hip in
the medical school of Harvard univers-
ity. from which he retired in 1882.
But it is chiefly as a writer that DR..
Holmes is known. AS early as 1881
his contributions appeared in various
periodicals, and his reputation was es-
tablished by the delivery of a metrical
essay entitled, Poetry" which was
followed by others in rapid succession.
In 1857 he began in the Atlantic Month
ly a series of articles under the title OF
'"The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table,
which were followed in 1850 by The
Professor at the Breakfast Table" in
1872, by poet at the Breakfast Table"
AS a writer of songs, lyrics and po-
ems for festive occasions he has long
occupied the first place.
In 1886 he visited England, where he
was received with great cordiality. Edi-
tons of his collective poems have ap-
peared from time to time, the first in
1885. He had contributed largely to
current medical literature, as we'll as
to literary journals and reviews, and
~ ~,
the hearts of the people as a lecturer.
A series of genial papers from his pen
entitled, lover the Teacups," appeared
in the Atlantic Monthly, during 1890
The latter years Of his life have been
spent in quiet retirement at Beverly
Falls farm, broken occasionally by a
lecture to the Harvard students.
