A storv ofTalmage.

Several gentlemen were talking over the
recent lecture of DIR. Talmage on Russia and
the Gar in the Riggs house last night,
when Boniface De Witt told an interesting
story OF the preachers first experience in
trying TO deliver a sermon without notes.
1T was years ago, of course, - said Mr.. De
Witt, and occurred inmy old home Belle
VILE N. j. Dr. Talmage was preaching there
and one week he made up his mind to go into
the pulpit the next Sunday without notes or
memoranda Of what he was going to say. He
memorized his sermon and believed he had it
completely at his ton CUES end, so SUNDAY
night he went TO the church pretty well forti.
fed with confidence.
In those days IN that section of Jersey,
churches and hotels in many private resi-.
dences were equipped with private gas ma
chimes, and the church where Talmage was
to hold forth had one, too. When he got into
the pulpit after conducting the preliminary
services all right he gave out his text. Then
he was Mortified to find that he couldn't think
of a thing TO say. He repeated the text a sec
ond time and yet his ideas failed to come.
He was in agony and began slowly and i'm
pressively to announce his text third time.
AS he reached the last Hord and the perspira-
tion OF dread and shame was beginning to
start the gas went out and plunged the place
into utter darkness. There was no other
means for lighting the edihce. and when II
was announced that the gas machine had

Prosneots Co. tha Wilson ain.

It will be surprising if the changes
made in the Wilson bill within the last
/ few days do not have the effect of materi-
ally modifying the plans Of the ways
| and means committee for raising revenue.
The cutting of of the sugar bounty and
| the putting Of sugar on the free list, to-
gether with the caucus decision attach
ing the internal revenue bill, which
! provides for an income tax, to the Wilson
bill, looks very much as if the outcome
would be tax on sugar and the aband-
onment Of the income tax.
1t is beyond doubt that sugar cannot be
produced in this country without boun-
ty or tax on imported sugar. The Viii
son bill, as it now stands, means the total
destruction of the sugar industry, not
only of Louisiana, but also of the beet
sugar industry of California, Kansas and
Nebraska. Many millions Of dollars are
invested in sugar lands, machinery
and improvements in Louisiana. Indeed,
sugar production is the chief source of
agricultural wealth in the richest part of
that state. il is hardly probable that
congress intends to practically destroy
the vast amount of wealth invested in
sugar planting. What, then, does the
wiping out Of the bounty mean, if not the
levying of tax on sugar.
Such a tax is not against democratic
principles. On the contrary, it is in
is a revenue tax. If sugar should
be taxed there would be
no need for an income tax, because if
tax is placed upon sugar it will be suf-
ficient to enable the sugar planters to
cultivate sugar, and a tax of that amount
would make up the deficiency in the
revenues obtained from other sources.
The House may pass the Wilson bill,
with the internal revenue attachment,
in its present shape, after hard fight.
but the Senate will not do So and il is
doubtful if the House expects it TO do so.
The bill the Senate will pass will be the
Wilson bill very much changed, and the
bill that will go to the President will be
largely the product of a conference com
mittee of the two Houses.
The outlook for a speedy passage Of the
tariff bill is not nearly so good as it was
week or two ago. The bill will be de-
layed several days in the House and the
recent changes made in it will provoke a
long debate in the Senate. The Louis
lana senators will make most vigorous
fight for sugar tax that will permit the
sugar industry to live, and the democratic
opponents of an income tax will assist
them with the hope of avoiding that tax.
The situation of the proposed tariff and
revenue measures are more interesting
than they have been at any time since
the tariff discussion began.

A company has been formed in Phila-
delphia for the purpose of manufacturing
paper out of the sedge grass that covers
the South Jersey meadows. The COM
pany's factory is to be established at Sea
Isle City, N. j. 1t is claimed that pro
cess has been perfected by which the
coarse marsh sedge can be transformed
into fair quality of wrapping paper.
Should the claim prove correct, it might
be worth while to make Investigations
looking to the planting of such a factory
here. An immense amount of wrapping
paper is used in this city and its tributary
territory, and there are hundreds of thou
sands of acres of sedge between Savan-
nah and the sea.

Borrowed the Stockings for a Purp,

OU1IOWSu IHb oIUOAIuBs lot a Furpose.
The story is told by the Providence Journal
that citizen of East Greenwich who is well
provided with the wherewithalfor purchasing
this worlds goods. went into dry goods
store the other day and asked TO see some
mems stockings. Selecting pair, he placed
them in his overcoat pocket and walked out
with never a syllable to the proprietor about
payment AS he was we'll known to the
dealer the latter said nothing. feeling sure
that the temporary absent mindedness OF his
customer would soon vanish and he would
have good laugh on him when he received
the money. About half an hour later the
customer walked in, took the stockings from
his pocket, laid them on the counter and again
walked of without leaving behind so much as
fragment of an explanation. An investiga-
tton brought to light the fact that the man
wanted to buy new pair OF shoes. and as his
own stockings were little shabby he took
this method Of borrowing pair to wear while
he went to the shoe store for the article.

A Very Busy Woman.
From the Hudson Gazette.


She pronounced in sounding platitude
Her universal gratitude
For men of every latitude
From the tropics to the poles;
She felt consanguinity,
A sisterly affinity,
a kind of kith and kinity
For all these foreign souls.
For Caledonian Highlanders.
For brutal South Sea islanders.
For wet and moist and dry landcrs,
For GENTLE. Greek and Jew;
For Fins and for Sioerians,
For Arabs and Algeriaus,
For a-del-FuegianS
She was in constant stew
Oh, it worried Miss Sophronia
Lest the men of Patagonia
Should die with the pneumonia,
With the phthiSis or the ehills;
Yes indeed, she worried daily
Lest the Group or cold should waylay
Some poor Soudauese or Malay,
Dying for the lack Of pills.
And she toiled on without measure.
And with most unstinted pleasure,
For the good of Central Asia ~
And the pagan people there;
But meanwhile her little sister
Died of neglected blister,
But Sophronia hardly missed her,
For she had no t me to spare.

Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, in a speech
the other night before a meeting of the
students of the New York Trade School,
said that there is great demand in this
country for skilled labor. In proof, he
asserted that more than 10000 skilled
laborers from England and Scotland come
to America every year, and return home
again as soon as they have earned a suf-
hcient sum Of money. If this be true,
and there is no good reason for doubling
that it is, the country needs more techno-
logical and trade schools, and the trades
unions need to be liberal in the matter
Of admitting and training apprentices.
There is no reason why we should con
tlnue to import skilled workingmen.

who was elected as a democrat and who

extra session of congress, would resign
his seat and seek reelection as an en-
dorsement of his views. AS told in our
dispatches yesterday, he has resigned. It
remains to be seen whether he will seek a
vote of confidence after the English
fashion, or whether his intention when
he resigned was TO get out for good.

The pottery manufacturers of Tren-
ton, n. j., have instituted what
practically amounts TO a lock-
out against their employees, alleging the
Wilson bill as the cause. They have or
dered wages cut 10 per cent. and an
nounced that they will, in addition, with
hold 20 per cent. of the mems wages
pending the disposition of the tariff bill;
if it is passed with the pottery schedule
unchanged, the 20 per cent. will be per-
maDently withheld and still further re-
duction of wages made. The workmen
know that the claims of the manufac-
turers are preposterous and their position
outrageous, and strike will probably be
ordered.

ladies' were, of course, emissaries Of the

DR.. Edison, of the New York Board of
Health, is making some interesting ex-
periments to test the effect of colored
lights upon small pox He will fit up
room in the Riverside hospital so that all
the light admitted will be through red
glass or red curtains In a smallpox
hospital in Norway the red light has
been found to have the effect of drying
up the eruptions on the skin, preventing
the dreaded pitting Of the skin and assist
ing in the rapid curing of the disease.
DR. Edison thinks similar results will fol-
low his experiments. 1t may be re-
marked, parenthetically that he has
plenty Of patients TO experiment upon.
There were thirty cases reported in the
Riverside hospital day before yesterday,
and the disease has made its appearance
in the insane asylum, on Wards Island,
where 1000 lunatics are confined.
