St. Marv,s-on.tbe-Hirblands.

The foundation of the sermon by Rec tor O. P. Fitzsimons was laid on the parable of the talents, and he drew sev- eral valuable lessons therefrom. These talents were given to the different ser wants in several degrees, and the master left them to their own devices. The world was made by God for a grand pur- pose, and He will work out that pur- pose through human agencies. The day of miracles has passed. This is the day when natural laws are at work in the spiritual world Every man should im- prove the talent given him. The spirit of socialism is abroad, and it demands an equal distribution of talents, but we all know that if such distribution should take place that one man would soon excel another and again things would be un- equal. Act well thy part, there all the honor lies" In "Marcella" this socialis- tic principle was tested. The hero, All dous Raeburn, was lifted up to higher sphere and had his wages doubled, but he soon relapsed into his former state.
 The rector said further that he be- lleved the Episcopal church had a great mission to perform in the redemption of the world. The church must go to the world. Bishop Potter in New York has gone down and lived among the slums and set good example. The ritual of the Episcopal church will one day be uni versally adopted Now that St. Mary's church was out of debt 1t was free to ex- tend it's sphere of usefulness.
 The services closed with a solo by Mrss T. o. Smith. It is in a. solo that her rich. velvety voice is heard to best advantage It needs not the friendly offices of for mai introduction, but knocks at the door of the heart and is admitted as gladly as a sweet stranger who bears her letter of credit on her face.

 Prof. Arnold of the University of New York: 1T consider that each and every ingredient of oleomargarine but ter or butterine is perfectly pure and wholesome, that the oleomargarine butter differs in no essential manner from the butter made from cream. It is great discovery, a blessing for the poor, in every way perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article.
 Silver Churn Butterine is prepared especially for fine table use. Every de- tail of it's manufacture is perfect.

Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

The pastor, Rev. R. D. Wear. at the morning service took for his text I Cor i, 31 That, according as it is written he that glorieth let him glory in the Lord"
 His subject was Heroes and Hero Worship" He said everybody in the world had hero either living dead or ideal. Our admiration and love of cer- tain attributes of certain individuals form the basis of our hero worship. Some have a military hero some have for their hero some great poet, others a preacher, inventor, musician, or states man. Ii is the effort of all men to model their lives after their heroes.
 This hero worship, he said finds it's exercises in the church, also in the great and good men, and particularly in a great preacher Christ has in Him all those elements of character and attrib- utes that have ever existed in any man. Christ was the hero of all the apostles and especially of Paul. and He should be the hero of all Christians and their model and example.
 He conquered death and is full of sympathy. He had great love. He was moral and sublime and saved the world on the cross. He was perfect in upright ness. He said the prea cher should di- rect men to Christ as his hero and not of his own personal charms try to at tract the people to himself. He said 1t Is better to be loved of Christ than of mon

BOWERS-BIRD.
The Leaking of Marriage With Very Sensa- tional Anteeedents-A Buebeard
 Story of Today.

Chicago, July 14.-A special from San Francisco says:
 pr. J. Milton Bowers, the head of the most sensational poisoning case in Cali fornia criminal annals, was secretly mar ried to his fourth wife. a woman who befriended him when he lay in the shad- ow of the gallows for months.
 Bowers married Miss Mary Bird. a San Jose teacher. May 27 last at Denver, but the fact has just leaked out here. Bow CTS, whose specially in medicine is wom- ems diseases, has had a remarkable ca- reer On November l. 1885, his third wife. Cecelia Bowers. died under suspicious circumstances. Her brother Henry Ben hayon, on the following day complained to the police that Bowers had poisoned his sister, as he wanted to Marry Miss Bird of whom he was enamored. Bow CTS was arrested and it was shown that there were traces of phosphorus in the dead woman's stomach. He was tried and convicted and sentenced to be hanged, but secured a new trial and again was convicted. It was while wait ing the result of a second appeal in lssf that Henry Benhayon committed sul- eide leaving a written confession that he poisoned his sister and his plan n- cluded the poisoning of Bowers also Bowers was released, though many be- lieved he had really poisoned Benhayon and had the confession forged. He re- stunned the practice of his profession and has lived here since. The woman he married last May carried him delicacies while he was in jail and believed in him.
 On October 21, 1873, Bowers house on S63 North Clark street, Chicago, was burned and the police had strong sus- picions that he had set the place on fire to get the insurance.
 On March IS, 1874, Mrs. Bowers, second wife of the doctor died at 354 North ave nue, Chicago. He had abused his wife but the police made no examination ot her body. Soon after he married Teresa Shirek of San Francisco, who died in about year under similar circumstances to the second wife, but her parents re- fused to permit an autopsy on the body Bowers, though over 60 years old, is well preserved

ANOTHER ARID SUNDAY.
The Dry New Yorker Growled and Spat
 "Cotton."

New York, July 4.-Ths city passed through another arid Sunday today, and from the low, deep growls emitted by the enforced drys, it is a mistaken idea to suppose that the people who want their Sunday drinks are getting use to the prohibitive state of affairs. However, it is certain that today was the counterpart of it's predecessor since the Roosevelt fiat went forth and there is every indication that it's successor will be the same. Since the decision of Judge McAdam, which was rendered a few days ago, in which it was held that the sale of soda water on Sunday was illegal, there has been much speculation as to the course the police would pursue In regard to that kind of traffic. The druggists and soda water dispensaries, however, were not interfered with today, and the soda fizzed as merrily as ever.

A Ball Fails to Stop an Enraged Negro Who
 Had an Ax-Broke His Arm.

Meridian, Miss. July n-(special)- In difficulty growing out of the chas- tisement of negro woman on account of offensive language towards his moth- er Mack Cameron shot a negro man named John Tinsley last night, the ball taking effect in his shoulder.

Jericho Dives was condemned because he would not share of his abundance with poor Lazarus. A moment will ar rive and that sooner than we expect, when all shall be called to give an ac- count of our stewardship, and in propor- tion to our generosity to the poor will God measure out mercy to us-judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy.
 "He that stoppeth his ear against the cry of the poor shall also cry himself and shall not be heard" When we are charitable to the poor the givers are the greatest gathers. By paying a debt they secure for themselves a treasure that will stand their friend when no earthly treasure can be of any avail. It's credit will be placed to our account i'll the store house where moths cannot de- stroy and which thieves are not able to steal away.
 The conversion of many was brought by aims giving. Others received the true faith. We cannot invest a small capital to bring us such high interest, such great and lasting profit as the pittance we give the poor.
 All our wealth which we possess will be left behind us at our death, but what we give in alms in works of charity, in the cause of God, will go before us to plead for mercy at the tribunal Of di- vine justice.
 Blessed is the man who considers the necessities of the poor and relieves them. The Lord will treat them mildly and sweetly in the evil day.
 South Highlands Presbyterian Church.
 Rev John Barbour selected as his text Matthew vi, 5-24. and spoke concern-- ing Gods fatherhood in all the affairs OF life The passage read is one of the most beautiful of our Savior'S utterances, and commends one of the most simple Of Christian graces. So extended line or reasoning cannot be recalled in any dis course of our Lords. He labored to im- press us with the unreasonableness Of care about material things. It is dis proportionate to bestow care upon the lesser and not the greater things of life. Life is more than meat, and the body than raiment. We should not forget that God who feeds the birds will care for us. Care is the impeachment of Gods provi- dence over us. He has made provision for the sparrow and will for us. Our anxiety is wasteful. If we cannot add one inch to our stature or one moment to our life, why should we worry about to- morrow? Henry de Thorean said: q have never got over my surprise that should have been born into the most es- timable place in all the world and in the very nick of time.'
 The adornment of life is also to be trusted to Him. He paints the lillies and beautifies the birds. He surely is able to give us of the cheer and beauty of life. He cannot begrudge to His chill dren what He gives to the birds. Every flower, ephemeral as 1t is, is a record and epitome of divine providence.
 MT Barbour closed with the following beautiful thought from Lowell:
 feel as weak as a violet,
 Alone meath the awful sky;
 As weak, yet as trustful also,
 For the whole year long, l see
 All the wonders of faithful nature
 Still worked for the love of me Winds wander and dews drip earthward
 Rains fall, suns rise and set,
 Earth whirls, and all but to prosper
 A poor little violet.
