FAIREST OF THE FAIR.
DR. TALM4GE DRAWS Word PFC:
TUKES OF CHRIST
Some Artists Have Painted Him as u Bru-
nette and Others Blond with Va
Nous Expressions.

More Love to TIhee, . Christ, was never
more effectively rendered than this morn
ing, by the thousands of voices in the
Brooklyn tabernacle, led by organ and
cornet, while by new vocabulary and fresh
imagery, DR.. ralmage presented the gos-
pei. The subject of the sermon was: Fa1r-
est of the Fair the text chosen being:
Solomon's Song 5l6: HE is altogether
lovely"
The human race has during centuries been
improving. For awhile it detected and de-
generated and from all L can read, for ages
the whole tendency was towards barbar-
ism. But under the ever widening ana
deepening influence of Christianity the ten
dency is now in the upward direction. The
physical appearance of the human race is
% per cent more attractive than in the six
teenth, seventeenth or eighteenth centuries
From the pictures canvas and the faces
and forms in sculpture of those who We're
considered the grand looking men ana the
attractive women of two hundred years
ago, L conclude the superiority of the men
and women of our time. Such looking peo-
pie of the past centuries painting and
sculpture have presented fine specimens
OF beauty and dignity, would be in our time
considered deformity and responsiveness com
plcte. The fact that many men and Wo-
men in antediuvian times were eight and
ten feet high tended to make the human
race obnoxious rather than winning. Such
port&bie mountains of human flesh did not
add to the charms of the world.

TRYING TO AGREE.
House and Senate Conferrees
on the Tariff.
BUT LITTLB PROGRESS so FAR.


Proves To BE Wide-Peffer Enumerates
Whole Lot of Things That Ought To

Increase of the Standing Army.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE first day of
the conference of the Democratic conferrees
of the two houses on the tariff bill was
without practical results or visible pro-
gress, so far as can be learned. The con-
ference continued for six hours and was
uninterrupted even for meals, bat when
an adjournment was taken after g. no
item in the bill had been finally passed
upon an agreed to.
There had been hope that the commit
tee would make its first report to the
house not later than next Friday, and
possibly by Wednesday, on verbal
changes to which all could agree.
Differences Too Wide.
But the conference brou ght out that the
differences were too wide to hope for this
preliminary report. On the contrary, it
was practically determined to keep to
work until all was finished, and there IS
little indication that it could be accom-
plished this week. 1t was also practically
concluded not to have a full meeting Of
tie committee at which the Republican
members would be present until the en-
tire bill was finished. There is, however.
difference of opinion on this point and
this policy may be changed.
