ETERNAL PARDON.
Theme of Bishop Keane's Fourth
Sermon.

The mission conducted by Bishop Keane at
ST. Mary's Cathedral continues TO draw enor-
nous attendance. Last nights sermon again
followed logically the thoughts of Tuesday
night and prepared the way for further elabor-
alton Of the theme tonight. "Christ, the LIv-
ing Sacrifice" was the subject of discourse.
From him who is the life. to him VINO is the
bread of life. TO him who as the bread OF life is
the eternal sacrifice, the symbol OF the pardon
and atOnement OF The fall of man, the evidence
of the Tehabiliment and giorfcaIion of the
Children uf God, heir perpetaation unto all
eternity, was the course OF thought up TO the
close OF last nights sermon.
Sacrifice" said Bishop Keane, sis the su-
preme act OF homag TO Almighty God. 1t is
tho oblation TO the Creator of our whole being.
When man was endowed with intelligence be
recognized that as God was his beginning so
must God b. his end; that as nature was not
endowed with intelligence he must take unto
himself for nature the recognition OF God, and
lay at the fet OF God It's homage as we'll as his
own. Then man also recognizes that he Is
uni ed with fellow-men. tnat God Is the au hor
OF his social being, and for this, too, lie offers
homage; thus being moved, before God, TO the
very depths OF his nature.
"But alasl how often human nature falls
short of what IL should present TO God. 1t is
covered over with pail OF sin and darkness
Temptation Offers TO give more glory for his
service than GOD can, and for this man has
gone astray. But tod Is not willing that the
powers of evil should draw his children from
him. To save hem he devised mighty scheme
OF redemption by which The first boz and be ad
OF the race, even the Sou OF Man, was 10 be- the
atonement. the prOpitatioD. the sacrifice for
all the evil OF the hearts OF men. The plan wac
made ages ago, even at the time OF The fall, aud
through all the history of the time before
Christ the crucnxion was presymboliZed In the
sacrifices Oh til affairs.
"The actual immolation of Jesus was the
contamination OF the pardon God did not
wish merely TO say 10 Adam. Thou art for
given; lie wished TO effect pobler pardon
Jesus. as the chief of man, must take upon
himself, 10 bis own person, all the transgrrss-
ions OF Adam and men down 10 his time, and
endure all the agony of sin, go that when it
should bring death upon him he should have
Dorne all the penalties and have become COM
plete saerhce.
Then when he had done this, In that men
were still TO live and In that evil would still be-
set hlm, lie was 10 devise again some symDol 10
commemorate his deed. This symbol Is Inc
euch artist. 1t sets forth that God has par
doned men for their sins. L is the real oody
and blood OF Jesus. OF which so often as one
partakes one receives again absoiut on from an
evil. The eucharist Is The perpetual opiasiou
OF mans whole being 10 God"

SHOWS THE SKY.
The Camera Surpasses the Great
Telescope,

iCICoSOpCs
An audience which crowded METROPOLITAN
Temple In every part last night attested gen.
eral interest in astronomy and the popularity
of Professor E. E. Barnard as lecturer. The
noted observer from Lick Observatory spoke
under the auspices of the Mechanics Institute
and was pleased TO call his talk Photographic
Revelations in Astronomy"
PrefacDg the comprehensive yet simply ex-
pressed explanations OF views thrown by a
stereOpticOn upon screen, Professor Barnard
said the camera revealed no more than had
been shown by the smallest t. escopes except
In nebular and cometary phenomena. Slin
photography has reV0lutioniZed many branches
and has aid d and advanced IL branches Of
astronomy. He referred briefly to Professor
Burnham's discovery OF double or twin suns
which were revealed by the receding and ap-
preaching spectIa, and CAV clear statement
OF how two great bodies rey0iyed around each
other at the rate OF $50 miles second, com.
pletiOg their circuits in four days.
Among the hrst phOtog aphic views shown
were tile sun, the moon ana the fixed stars and
their mysteries explained. Professor Barnard
then exhibited photograph of the twelve
inch telescope at Mount Hamilton showing the
cockwork which regulated its movement so
as closely to follow the motion of the stars. At
tached 10 the telescope was the camera, whose
ing al the rate of 500 feet a second was caught
as plainly as if 1t we're still. The work was
strictly instantaneous. A bullet fired from a
lessor Barnard then gave prac-
Iical illustration of the space In the
armament which the largest telescope could
cover. This appeared TO be no iaTger han
a mans hand. In viewing the great nebula Of
AndTomeda The telescope passed over il inch
by incb," and 1t /, utterly impossible 10 obtain
"a view except little bit at time. The appear
ance of the Andromedan Debu!a as drawn
by Sir William Hersche shown in
contrast with drawing by celebrated Har-
ward astronomer. There was no Iesemblace.
Then photogr apbic view was thrown on the
screen. presenting the real appearance which
without the camera could never have been OBJ
tanned.
The greatest scientific value of the camera is
that 1t enables the observer to distinguish be-
tween clusters Of stars and Debulosiy and to
note the rapid changes IN the form of comets
when they come III contact with obstruc ions.
These things We're shown and clearly explained.
Professor Barnard's style Is simple, yet
so entertaining, that interest did no flag for
an instant. He was frequently interrupted by
applause, and the close of the lecture was
greeted by quite Demonstration of approval.

Reillyan had fight with Suffice on the
night he was shot, before his trouble with
McQulken, and while IN the hospital

Suffice that he intended killing him.
He was discharged from the hospital
few days since and last night came 10
town. and going to the. saloon where SUI
fee is employed drew a shotgun and COM
meneed shooting.
Suffice returned the fire with the result
stated. When the news reached Whipple
of Riellyan's death it was only by great
precautions taken by Colonel de Russey
and other officers that his comrades were
prevented from taking their guns ana
avenging his death.
Two officers with drawn swords and side
arms stood guard over the gun racks of
the company to prevent the troops from
obtaining possession of their guns. The
saloon in which the killing occurred is the
same one in which Reillyan was shot be-
fore, ard is in a disrepntable portion of
the town. Further trouble is feared.

pugiiist, "Jim'' Corbett. Ii he bad been as
strong and active mentally as the champion Is
physically there can be no doubt Of his ultimate
victory, but he succumbed.
young Corbett entered the ring to give NOR
prime battle. That was few weeks ago. and
II the contest could be measured by rounds he

ne was oVerpowered again, aud on these occa-
sions would plead pteously for time. II Sc
nappened That there were no rop around
CoIpetS afena-only ten-foot board fence,
and Corbett jumped over it to escape. He is
now hopelessly defeated fellow of 26 years
Win the prospect OF wrecked life before
Because he became addicted to the morphine
habit Ills family rejected him. Between the
baneful seductions OF the drug and Dappy
home Corbett chose the former, and bis own
people know him no longer. So for quite a
long time he has not been under the parental
roof on Hayes street.
Last mouth he applied at the City and County
HOSPITAL for TT, atmeDt for his falling.
DOCTOR" said he to The superintendent, ~
am suffering from the morphine habit. 1t has
got the best OF me and now l want TO give iJ
up for good. Can't you treat me IN the hos
pital?'
To all appearances Corbett was In trim for a
pIiZefighi, being stout ana muscular, without
any !ndlcation Of the drugs powerful effects,
This caused the physician 10 demur.
You look healthy enough TO fight 1t out
yOurSeI Without medical treatment" replied
The doctor. "What Is your name?"
"Coi bett. Pm a brother of The champion"
Then your family ought TO take care of you.
They can afford 10 DO So"
Ion, they won't have anything TO do with me
because L use morphine" COrbett said IN a
vOc- suggesting remOrse.
Tie doctor told Corbett he could not receive
him, but a note from Mayor Ebert would meet
all requir ments for Ambulance. So Cor bett
went the Mayors Office and told touching
story. As he appeared anxious 10 reform a
place was made for him, aud the victim of
morphine agreed 10 work for his board. The
hospital superintendent took him in, and soon
found employment TO suit his tastes. AS Cor
bett was accustOm' TO horses and stables he
was appointed assistant TO the hospital hostIer.
All went we'll so long as he had morpbinr; the
stables and horses were carefully attended 10
and Corbett showed brave trout. But il was
Il arful task he had undertaken and as the
dose became less he would often reel like a
drunken man. On one occasion the supply was
shut of as beginning i'll lengi henng the time
between doses. He forced bis way into Or.
Mays office and begged In tears for the drug
HIS cries were piteous, and the doctor saw
what wreck young COrbett had become. Sill
the dos Was refused. COrbett went out into

he Is back in his old haunts and ways.

HE HAS NO QUORUM NOW,
But That Is Only a Matter of
Days.
TRACEY GIVES up THE FIGHT
1t Is Quite Clear That He Counted
Upon a Veto From the
President.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-All efforts to
agree upon the time for closing debate up
on the Bland bill have so far failed. and
the debate is still proceeding without
limit. Bland will probably permit this to
go on until tomorrow night. The oppo-
Dents of the measure have decided that
they will insist upon a quorum of advo-
Gates of the measure being present al
every stage of the parliamentary proceed
ure. and as many membe are absent il
Will probably require two days at least to
secure the attendance necessary to bring
the bill to vote. Tomorrow it is BANDS
Intention to make motion to close debate.
and as this motion will probably develop
the lack of quorum, he will then offer q
resolution to bring in the absentees. Pos
sibly still another day may be required to
produce the requisite quorum.
Rayner and some of the other Demo
Gratis still insist that the bill can be beaten,
but Tracey frankly c0nfesses that he be-
lieves it will pass if it reaches a vote; as to
whether the bill will be vetoed, he gives
no opinion. The debate to-day was with
out startling incident Of any kind.
The resignation of Brawley Of South
been appointed United States District
Judge, was read and placed on file.
Hunter of Illinois, as a personal prvi-
lege. explained his vote on agricultural
implements And diamonds while the tariff
bill was in committee of the whole.
Quigg and Strauss. the new members
from New York. were then sworn in.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on BANDS seig niorage bill, and
Stone of Kentucky took the floor and i'd
dressed the House on the question.
Toward the close of bis remarks Stone
became involved in a controversy with
Reed and Bowers of California over party
responsibility for the present condition Of
affairs. He declared that this Democratic
Congress would afford the people relief,
ana REINFORCED and approved the Demo
cratic majority elected to the Fifty-tourth
Congress would testify next fall to the
work of this Congress.
1--WE will rest the case on that predic-
tion," said Reed. "If you have an in
creased Democratic majority next fall you
will be indicated"
During the speech by Walker (R.) of
Massachusetts, in opposition to the bill,
Reed and Bland got into an angry alterca-
ton over the limitations of debate. 1t was
carried on while batch. in the chair, was
vigorously pounding for order, and the
sergeant-at-arms was at last called upon
to see the gentlemen seated. Sweet (R.) of
Idaho, Bowers (R) of California and Raw
Inns OF Utah spoke In support of the bill,
and Brosius Of Pennsylvania opposed il.
The House adjourned al 80.
