He had told her of his love for her, of

DR.. Ta1maEe's First Attempt to
Preach Without Notes. and What
Happened.
Several gentlemen were talking Over
the recent lecture of DIR. Talmage on
Russia and the Car in the Riggs
house last night. when Boniface De
Witt told an interesting story of the
famous preachers first experience in
trying to deliver a sermon without
notes.
1T vas years ago. of course" said
Mr.. De Witt. land occurred in my old

was preaching there. and N week he
made up his mind to 20 into the pull
pit the next SUNDAY without notes or
memoranda of what he vas going to
say. He memOrized his sermon. and
believed he had ii completely at his
tongues end. so Sunday night he went
to the church pretty well fortified with
confidence.
In those DAYS in that section Of
Jersey churches and hotels and many
private residences were equipped with
private gas machines. and the church
where TalmaEe was to hold forth had
one, too. When he got into the pulpit
after conducting the preliminary serv-
ice all right he gave out his text. Then
he was Mortified Il find that he could

ed the text a second time. and yet his
ideas failed to come. He was in agony.
AMI began slowly and impressively to
announce his text a third tine. As
he reached the last word and the per-
SEPARATION of dread and shame was be-
ginning to start. the gas went out and
plunged the place into utter darkness.
There was no other means of lighting
the edifice. and when il was announced
that the gas machine had broken down

Made High Buildings Possible.

The elevator is the great equalizer OF
u civilization. which brings the four
teenth story down to the second. and.
by excessively rapid express service"
makes the twentieth floor scarcely
more difficult of access than the third.
In studying the growth of the high
building it is not needful, perhaps, to
emphasize the relative importance OF
each factor that adds to its merits, but
the place of the elevator is unda-
mental: without it its chief merit would
be gone: without it its upper stories
would be as inaccessible as Il mountain
top. The development of the high
building has fastened the development
of the elevator, until today the "eX-
press" elevator leaves nothing to be de
sired in swiftness of service.

Principles that should Govern Modern
Business Architecture.

A Greek temple can never be any
thing but a Greek temple, a gothic ca
thedral must always be a Gothic cathe-
dral, a modern office building must
always be an office building. The glory
of each is its individuality and the
directness with which it expresses its
object The Greek temple was a de-
velopment of the Greek ideal in archi-
lecture; the Gothic cathedral was the
development of the medieval idea: the
modern office building, if it is to have
the rank in architecture to which its
Importance entities it, must be the de-
velopment of modern needs, ideas, ne
cesities. The question is not one of
styles, nor of suitabilities of styles: it
is the natural treatment of complicated
and difficult conditions in a natural
manner.

POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING

PARIS, Aug. 1.-The police Of Franc
are Investigating what is probably on
of the most remarkable robberies OF
record, and it is believed that the police
authorities of the United States will b
asked, if they have not already been s.
requested, to take hand in the investi
cation. f&"
In some unaccountable manner casl
of gold from New York valued at $50,
600, has been stolen while in transi,
from Havre to Paris. s
The French line steamship La Tour
ra;ne, Captain Santelli, left New York
OIL July 21, for Havre, with 40 casks OF
American gold on board, valued at
2,GOO, GOO and consigned to various con.
Germs. She arrived here July 80. The
40 casks of gold are believed to have
been safely landed at Havre, and they
are also said to have been placed COM
plete on board the train running be-
tween Havre and this city, but when
the precious casks were counted upon
arriving here there were only 50 Of
them, one cask containing $4,000 in
American gold had by some means dis
appeared.
TIE Disappearance of the Caslk
of gold has given rise to a number of
police theories, the strongest being that
the goll was followed from New York
by expert thieves who patiently awaited
their chance to abstract one of the
casks.
The police, pending the termination
Of their investigation, will not give any
particulars concerning the robbery, but
it is believed that several persons were
concerned in the theft. for the cask of
gold must have weighed nearly 200
pounds, and even a very strong man
could not have carried such load alone
for any great distance. +
In any case a most remarkable rob-
berry has been committed, and the police
of France are busily engaged in an at
tempt to solve the mystery Of the dis
appearance of the $4,000 cas!s Of gold.

DENVER, Aug. 1.-One result of the
late warlike strike at Cripple Creek is
the organization Of band of robbers
who have terrorized the country in the
immediate neighborhood, and thea out
break of trouble more bloody than the
recent strike is among the possibilities.
When it became known that Sheriff
Bowers was to be permitted to serve
warrants and make arrests those leaders
who felt that their actions would
be punished with heavy penal
ties, fled the camp. A party of
them, numbering 10 or l5, organized
themselves into band, and ever since
surrounding ranchmen. They are
mounted on stolen horses and make
raids, seizing cattle, poultry and horses,
anything that will serve their purpose.
Last Sunday they rode into the little
town of Victor, demanded what they
in Victor could stop them. DR.. J. Wiley
Collens was the only man who had the
courage to defy them. Having no fire.
arms, he attempted to borrow gun,
but fear prevented any one from COM
plying with his request and he was
obliged to digest his indignation. =
So serious have the raids become that
a vigilance committee is being organ
lied to drive the robbers away or exter-
inmate them. 1t is also said that Sher-
if Bowers is organizing a posse to pro-
coed against them. Warrants for
every member of the gang have been

Great indignation is felt among the
sculptors and art dealers of Warsaw

in obedience to orders from St. Peters
burg, visited all the stores and studios
and destroyed all the busts of the
Polish heroes, Thaddaeus Kosciusko

could find. The sculptors in tho city
were obliged to send a written COM
