He Embodied Curious CoIuO!HAtion "
Pomposity, Ignorance and Cowardice.
Among Mr.. Lester Wallack's "Memo-
ries" are some relating to 1.-The most
nervous creature" he ever saw, Signor
de Begnis, a singer, who came over to
the United States in the same ship with
Mr.. Wallack and his father in 1888. he
was about feet in height, portly and
pompous, and wore huge velvet cloak
and black velvet cap. His grand ap-
pearance made his childish ignorance
and cowardice all the more amusing.
Everything he saw filed him with Won
der, which he expressed without reserve.
Two nights after the ship sailed. the
captain, thinking it was coming on to
blow, sent aloft to shorten sail. De Beg
mis- was excited.
"Oh, ah, mon capitaine, de man!
What he go up dere for? Why he go up
the poleY'
He is going up to reef the topsail.
replied the captain.
s'To do WHAT"
'sTo reef the topsail."
''To reefa de top of de sail? In de
dark? Mon Dieu! Now he go higher.
and without candle"
He was never seasick, but was so tim
id that he was happy only in dead
calm.
When the rest Of the passengers were
scolding about the delay, he would say:
s.Ah. it is beautiful; it is callum to-
day. am not alright. When it blow
I am alright. Today it is callum, and
go to play veest.'
Mr.. Wallack, who was then hardly
more than a boy, used to climb to the
mizzentop with a book in his pocket and
sit there with his arm around rope and
read by the hour. The first time that De
Begnis saw him going up the shrouds he
shouted:
s.Ha! look at deyoung Wallack! Don't
go up dere, you fools Suppose de strings

One night twas blowing hard, and
the ship was '.taken aback." Mr.. Wal
lacks father, being an old sailor, knew
what it meant and sung out to the. stew
ard:
'eShut in the deadights!"
The next morning the sea had gone
down, and De Begnis, who had been
dreadfully scared, said:

was the old Wallack, he was alright.
hear him call to de steward to give him

On the first day out, when the ship
was son The wind" lying pretty well
over, De Begnis, only half dressed, stuck
his head into the main cabin and said:

Standing one day beside the wheel, he
said:
"What that man he do, he turn the

swered.

not responsible for the dramatic ele-
ment in his soul. but for the perversion
Of it.
n vacant seats are 80 plenty in the
church, whose fault is it? The human
mind is the same in the pew as in the
theater. The wcrld suffers more from
too little dramatic power in the chu1ch
than from too much outside OF it. a
preacher asked Garrick, the tragedian,
why is it you are able to produce so
much more effect with the recital of
your fctions than we do by the delivery
Of the most important truthss' My
lord, - said Garrick, -you speak truths
as If they were fictions; we speak fc-
tions as If they were truths. y And
wherever today, all Chrsstendom
through, there is a man with graceful
gestures, modu1ated voice, elegant ex-
preston, appropriate emotion and
graceful action; wherever you find q
man as natural and impressive, as au-
dible and as interesting as the actor,
you will find a full church. Let the
preachers work at the people with the
same power, intelligence and will as
the actor is obliged to work at the pub
lie, depend upon it their achievements
will be in proportion. The actor does not
grumble because the people won't come
to the theater. He says, II am to
blame. - People don't come to church
because they are not interested. Let us
learn from the actor how to read and
how to infuse life into our service.
Other things besides religion are
good. Dickens works are eternal argu-
ments against injustice, and in writing
novels he was as well employed as in
preaching the gospel. Mendelssohn, by
his sublime compositions, did better
serve the world than going out as
missionary to China, and Shakespeare
served the world and his Maker better
asa dramatist than as bishoppreaching
sermons that nobody wanted to hear.
The arts and sciences must go hand in
hand with religion and morality.
The Church and tho World.
The church Of the past stood aloof
from the world. The church Of the fu-
ture will ass;milate withit. The church
has spent much time peering into
smusemeuts to sec what evil they con-
tanned, and has kept digging sway at
this instead Of putting divine grace Into
them and letting that elevate and reeu-
late them. We have been absorbed in
ferreting out and declaiming against
the evil and forgotten that we have
corresponding duty to develop the good.
The church has failed to regulate popu-
lar amusements, it has Withdrawn It.

SLAUGHTER!
Deadly Results Of an Explosion
Of 4 Hotchkiss Gun
at Chicago.
-Four soldnsrs Are Killed and Elght More
Are Injared while Troops Are
Being Moved.

CHICAGO, July 17.--A caisson attached
to . Hotchlxiss gun in charge of Battery
F. ID artillery. exploded at lao o'clock
today at the corner Of Grand and Oak
wood boulevards.
The dead and injured we're taken 10
charge by the soidies and access to the
scene Of the accident was cut Oh while
surgeons were attending the injured.
The troop and bettsry we're in charge
of Capt. Dood. Of the 7th cavalry, and
we're proceeding from the lake front to
new quarters at Hyde Park. At Oak
wood and Grand boulevards the Hotch-
kiss gun with its caisson was in the rear
of the command. when suddenly the
ground shook with fearful explosion
and burst Of fame and smoke shot
from the caisson. A storm Of bullets
few in every direction. Windows were
shattered for blocks around. and people
walking on the sidwalks we're thrown
down. When the smoke cleared eight
heavy artillery horses were lying dead
on the ground. their carcasses nearly
torn to pieces. All around lay dead and
wounded men. The brown stone home
Of Mrs D~vlin. ut Oskwood and Grand
boulevards was perforated by several
bullets. which passed through the walls.
Glass was shattered and walls and orna-
uenfs were torn and broken.
The causs Of the explosion - not posi-
lively known. 1t is supposed that fuse
worked ionse from one Of the cartridges
and the powder ground between the
bssss shells in the caisson ignited and
sxploded the nasss.
