 There has been a good deal of com plaint about the swindling of English Investors by American sharpers, and there has undoubtedly been ground for such complaint. But the English can ''do" each other when they set out. A case in point is that of the Otis Steel company of Cleveland, which has been forced into liquidation on the applica- tion of the English stockholders. Some years ago the stock of this company, amounting to $1,200,O00, was sold to an English syndicate at 16S, that Is, a sum total of $2,O16,OOO. The promoters then issued upon this plant preferred stock of $1,5OO,00o and $1,5Oo,O0O of com mon stock, and besides, bonded the works for $1,50O,00 so that the English investors actually put in a capital of s4,500,000 in addition to the purchase value of $1,200,000. The concern was managed by board of directors in London, and the Americans who re- mained in the company practically had no voice in it's management. The di- rectors all had salaries, and many of them never saw Cleveland or the works they were supposed to manage. Conse- quently the concern fell into the dumps and could not pay dividends on the highly watered stock, and now 1t is to be wound up. American sharpers couldn't teach these English sharpers ro11oh

The celebration of Bunker Hill day on the 17th of June at Charlestown, Massachusetts, will this year have an interest that does not commonly at- tach to the event. The centennial an- niversary of the building of the first Bunker Hill monument and the f1ftieth anniversary of the dedication of the Warren monument model, which occu- pies a place within the present obelisk, will be observed with appropriate cere- monies. Governor Greenhalge will de- liver the principal oration in the af- ternoon, and a banquet will be held in Faneuil Hall in the evening.

DIR. HEMPHILL AT CALVARY.
He Claims That the Rich and Powerful
Are the Great Sim
nerS

The Rev. DIR. John Hemphill preached
at the Presbyterian Calvary Church last
night. The subject of his sermon was
Sabbath-keeping and Church-going." DIR.
Hemphill took his text from Leviticus,
l9 80.
Eye shall keep my Sabbath aid rever-
ence my sanctuary. l am the Lord"
The present condition of the Sabbath
was pictured and compared with the
manner of its keeping when he was boy.
He denounced the rich and powerful OF
the City as being the greatest sinners and
Sabbath-breakers. Among other things,
DR.. Hemphill said:
~ remember when | was boy that Sun
day was terrible day for me. 1t was not
worship, but unholy toiling.
1.-THE masses of this City are not the
great sinners. The chief sinners and Sab
bath-breakers are to be found among the
rich and the powerful. They are the prin-
cipal Decorators of Gods holy day.
There is not enough seating capacity in
the churches of this City to hold half the
people who profess Christianity, but, at
present, there is not church that is half
filled on Sunday.
"Another thing l desire to speak of is the
expenditures of this church. twas easier
to meet the expenditures of this church
twenty years ago than it is to-day. and the
church expenses then were heavier than
now.
81 am now trying to place myself in the
light of an impecunious parson pleading
for his salary. received $4,000 more from
the last church than you are paying me
and l have lately been offered $4,000 more
than my present salary. There should be
a more generous contribution among the
members of this church."
The pastor stated that though there are
various excuses given why people do not
attend church on Sunday, the flimsiest of
all was that excuse. 81 need rest"
DR.. Hemphill was seen after the service
and asked if the church was in debt. He
stated that contributions were not as large
as they ought to be. The choir had been
changed from a voluntary to paid one.
The reason that he had spoken about his
salary was that his congregation should
understand that his request for money did
not come from a self-motive, but for the
best interest of the church.

shooting was the two rapid-fire scores made
by f. G. Muller. With an army rifle at
the Union Musket Club range he fired ten
shots in three minutes, making A points
out of a possible 30. He then went to the
range of Company D. Fifth Infantry, and
in the same time made 43 out OF a possible
so. When it is remembered that the target
had to be changed after each shot, the
loss of time in loading and sighting, and
the excellence of the shooting, the record
is a remarka bic one.
Philo Jacoby carried off the honors in
the Turner's shoot with score of 66 rings
out of possible IS. No member was al
lowed more than three shots during the
day, and in consequence many of them

The members of the San Francisco Turn
Verein had a most enjoyable outing at
Schuetzen Park yesterday. They went
over early and took their wives and fam

everybody enjoyed themselves. He is a
great favorite with all the Turner's and
was so much in demand yesterday that it
was with difficulty he found time to shoot
his score for the annual prizes.
Captain Attinger Joined the shooting
section of the Turner's eight years ago, and
during 1884 was first lieutenant under
Captain Oft. In January last when the
latter retired Attinger was unanimously
selected to fill the vacancy.

The word treacle has undergone an odd
modification. At first it was applied to
such decoctions of roots or other sub
stances as were deemed beneficial in medi-
cal practice; then, as these were frequent
ly sweetened, it came to mean any sweet
ened connection or CONNECTION; and lastly,
as molasses was the sweetest of ALL this
name was exclusively applied to syrup.
