A Maker of Glass Eyes.

Visitors to the Worlds Fair will re
member the quaint little workman who
sat in one corner of great building and
made eyes from morning until night,
part of them for dolls, part of them for
human beings and occasionally one for
horse or some other pet animal. The
workman, whose name was Muller, had
come over from Germany to show how
his people worked, and when the fair
was over he set up little shop in Chi
cago and tried for awhile to make his
industry flourish on American soil. But
after time he found that the wholesale
dealers persisted in sending across the
water for their supplies, and he grew so
homesick that he finally returned to the
fatherland, and he is now doubtless
working in some one Of the quaint little
Thuringian villages.
1t will be remembered that he was
marvelously def in his work. First he
blew bulb from molten glass. Then
when it was cold, be carefully broke off
one side so as to leave shell, the edges
of which were blunted by melting. He
secured the proper size of eye by having
the person for whom it was made stand
before him as he worked. Having the
shell complete, he bent down over a
Bunsen burner, and just touching it's
upper surface to the fame he worked
the eye design on the glass with little
sticks Of vari-colored glass. the points Of
which were melted in the flame.
The work required a wonderfully
steady hand and true eye in order to
make the iris and the retina of the prop
or color and shape. The workman is so
skilled that he can copy direct from the
person who stands before him. Chicago

professed to be the Messiah the Jews of
his day were expecting. He claimed in
stead to be the representative OF Man;
that his mission was to establish heaven
ly society in the earth which would at last
make the earth morally like heaven. The
popular Jewish conception of Messiah
who would achieve outward deliverance
and military glory, he had always abjured.
But that he was the Son of Man and the
Son of God he had as steadfastly main
tanned.
When the high priest therefore in the
Sanhedrim judgment hall stood up in the

denial.
But when the high priest, in his desper-
alton at the threatened failure of the pros
ecution, asked him, Arf thou tie Son of
the Blessed? silence would have been at
the best an expediency.
If Jesns had now maintained his peace
the prosecution, so far as we can see, would
have failed. The Sanhedrim would have
had only the evidence of their mutually
destructive witnesses to make out case

3. Jesus Answers,-vs. 6a-64.
Luke tells us that the answer of Jesus
was prefaced by the declaration IT r tell
.you .ye aOiX not 6elieve, and I'll ask you
.ye aOiH not ans7Oey. He knew that his
case had been blindly and heartlessly pre-
judged. 1t seems. that there was at this
point clamorous repetition of the high
priests question. He was solemnly adj
jured: IT thou art tie Christ tell rs.
What can he now say?
With full knowledge of all that it meant,
according to Mark, this is what he said:
/ AM.
Jesus has now, beyond recall, chosen the
cross.
The assumed horror of the high priest
and the rending of his clothes, and the
unanimous vote of the council that Jesus
is worthy of death, are matters which fol-
low as matter of course.
During the hour or more which must be
passed before Jesus could be taken before
the Roman tribunal, the Prisoner was sub
jected to indignities it is hard for us to re-
call. Before, in the informal trial in the
high priests house, he had been made the
cruel sport of mepials and rough soldiers;
now he is made the subject of taunts and
mockery by priests, rabbis and elders.

THE LESSON STORY.

1t is credible tradition that Jesus was
led in the procession by cord around his
neck to the palace of the high priest.
The high priests palace, situated on the
northern slope of Zion, in the upper city,
was presumably built after the ancient
style of such edifces in the East. 1t bore
but slight architectural resemblance to the
palaces of the later ages. Itwas composed
of several connected buildings or mansions,
standing around and enclosing spacious,
marble-paved, roofess court. Next to the
street was stone tower; in the tower was
an arched entrance into the court On
occasions of danger gate could be let
down to close the entrance !. on peaceful
ordinary occasions lattice, with door
tended by FORTRESS, suficed to guard the
court from intruders.
Opening into this court, and elevated
some feet above it, were the high priests
official rooms.
Annas and Caiaphas, his son-inlaw, were
at our lesson-date, both occupants of the
high priests palace. Annas, after having
reigned seven years, had been removed by
the Roman authorities for assuming power
to execute the death penalty. He was now
seventy years of age. He was neverthe-
less held by the Jews, who regarded his
removal by the Romans as unlawful, to be
the real high priest; and he continued to
largely exercise the authority of the Office.
Jesus was first taken to Annas. Biblical
scholars are at variance in their opinions
as to the point when the trial ceased before
Annas, and began before Caiaphas.
The difficulty can be explained by
natural hypothesis. Annas and Caiaphas,
it is conceded, were living together in diff
ferent mansions of the same palace. The
entire priestly party had been in informal
session from early evening, awaiting the
arrival of their expected Prisoner. When
Jesus was led into the court, is it not prob
able that both Annas and Caiaphas were
present to behold him? The Victim was
first taken to the room of Annas, and Gaia
phas must have been there present. An
mas, who had the fear of Rome in his
heart, sent him to Caiaphas for trial. But
that Annas followed the Prisoner across
the subsequent examination took his &C
customed part, is qui.e in accordance with
the circumstances. Instead of there being
a sharp distinction between the trials by
the two high priests, there was but one
trial in different stages before the dual
high priest
L. The False Witnesses Nullify
Each Other,-vs, $3.50
When Jesus was led by the cord before
the high priest there were already present
a company of witnesses eager to testify
against him. Whether these witnesses, as
some believe, had been suborned, and were
expected for a price to perjure themselves,
or whether they were voluntary opponents
of the priestly and rabbinical hatred of
Jesus, each believing that he had fatal
story to tell against the New Teacher, is
matter of conjecture. 1t seems to us to
accord with the circumstances to believe
that these witnesses were voluntary; that
they coveted the privilege of entrance into

The martyrdOm, the sacrifice, of
Christ begins. -" VicariOus sacri-
fice," says F. w. Robertson, "is the law
of being. All Gods universe is built on
this law; it penetrates and pervades all
nature, so that if it were to cease to exist,
nature would cease to exist. Upon the
life of the vegetable world the myriad forms
of higher life sustain themselves; it is the
sacrifice of life to give life. Have we
never pondered over that mystery of ma
ture, the dove struck down by the hawk,
the deer trembling beneath the stroke of
the lion, the winged fish falling into the
jaws of the dolphin 1t is the solemn law
of vicarious sacrifice again. And as often
as man sees his table covered with the
flesh of animals slain, does he behold,
whether he thinks of it or not, the deep
mystery and law of being. They have
surrendered their innocent lives that he
may live. 1t is as impossible for man to
live as it is for man to be redeemed, except
through vicarious suffering. His very be-
ing has its roots in the law of sacrifice;
and from his birth EDWARDS instinctively
this becomes the law which rules his exist
ence. There is no blessing which was
ever enjoyed by man which did not come
through this law. There was never
country cleared for civilization and puri-
fed of the swamps and forests, but the
first settlers paid the penalty of that which
their successors enjoy. There was never
a victory won, but the conquerors who
took possession Of the conquered passed
over the bodies of the noblest slain, who
died that they might win. - The high
est man recognized that law, and joyfully
adopted it as the law of his existence. 1t
was the consciousness of his surrender to
that law as Gods will, and the voluntari-
ness of the act, which made it sacrifice.
Hear him: No man kakeH my life from
me. 7 haze boaOer to lay 1t aoavn, and T
haze bowey to take it nb again. This
commandment haze reeeived from my
Father. 1t was the foresight Of all the re-
suit of his opposition to the worlds sin,
and his steady, incorporating battle
against it notwithstanding in every one of
its forms, knowing that he must be its vic
tim at the last, which prevented his death
being merely the death of lamb slain UNI
consciously on Jewish affairs, and elevates
it to the dignity of true and proper sacri
fce.-Let no man say that he bore
the wrath of God. Let no man say that
God was angry with his Son. Do not add
to the Bible what is not in the Bible. He
suffered no wrath of God. Christ came
into collision with the worlds evil and he
bore the penalty of that daring. He ap-
preached the whirling wheel, and was torn
in pieces. He laid his hands upon the
cockatrice's den, and its fangs pierced
him. 1t is the law which governs the con-
Aict with evil. 1t can only be crushed by
suffering from itself, The Son of Man
who puts his naked foot on the serpent's
head, brushes it; but the fang goes into his
heel"

Expensive to Keep the Americas
Cup.
THOUGHT NOT Less THAN $40o,0O|
Those Who Sail Yachts Must Have
Big Bank Accounts.
WHAT GEORGE GOULD SPENT

The Americas cup is worth intrinsically
about $780, but such Is the sentiment with
which it is filled that 1t .osts directly not
less than 100000 to keep 1t in this country,
and Indirectly much more than that, says
the New York Herald.
There are probably a great many per-
sons who would be willing to have the
cup go to England, because they think
that would increase the interest In yacht
ing and incite the Americans to go over
there after the trophy. They do not con-
slider how much money is employed about
New York On account Of the international
races. And that does not mean New York
alone, but every seaboard port from Balti-
more to Portland. So many boats are
chartered to carry people ont to the race
course that New York alone, large as she
is, cannot give the required transporta-
ton. When 1t is considered that hundreds
of large steamers are engaged in this bust
ness and that every passenger on board
pays not less than 81 trip for each race,
it will be seen at once that the amount
of money paid to steamboat companies is
very great indeed.
Cost to Ynchtsmen.
But that Is not the cost to yachtsmen.
Somebody must defend the cup. 1t is a pa
trlotlc impulse. The credit which they de-
serve is probably not given to the rich men
of Boston or New York for science and sail
ing skill People look at 1t as simply a
sailing race. and they do not think of the
amount Of money that is back of 1t.
Here are some figures that will be rather
surprising. In the first place, Mr.. George
Gould purchased the Visilant because, 1t
may be supposed, that she was the fastest
yacht af1oat. She had defeated certainly
the fastest English yacht af1oat He went
to the expense of taking her over to Eng
land-which Is not small expense-and
sailing her against the best English yachts.
That was rather a plucky thing to do, be-
cause it gave him, an American yachtsman,
an idea Of not only what English yachts
could do, but what they could do under
their own conditions-in their own winds,
weather and tides.
Cost of Defender.
Now, tho very first contract for the De-
fender was not less than $4,000. Suisse
quently the sails alone cost SO, 600, it being
necessary to employ three first-class expert
sailmakers. A crew of forty men was en-
gagged away back in May, and the salaries
of these men would average about $45 a
month each. OF course, the Defender was
rot launched in May, and. therefore, in
order to drill the men in the management of
an American yacht 1t was necessary to

AMNESTY TO OUTLAWS.
Action Taken by the Jockey Club ut
n Special Meeting.

-
Special Meeting.
| At a special meeting of The stewards of
the Jockey Club held at New York last
evening, the following resolutions were
adopted:
whereas the stewards Of the Jockey
Club have received many applications for
reinstatement from trainers, owners and
jockeys, who, owing to the uncertain con-
dtion of racing In this state prior to the
enactment of the present racing law, raced,
trained and rode on courses not sanctioned
by the Jockey Club; and
Whereas the stewards recognize that,
under the extraordinary circumstances
then existing, the temptation to derive a
risk of disqualification. induced many own
ers to do what, under other circumstances,
| they would not have done:
Resolved, That an opportunity be given
all owners, trainers and jockeys against
whom no charge Of fraud has been estab-
| lished and whose only offense has been
! racing or riding at an unrecognized course
| to be restored TO good standing On fling an
application with the stewards Of the Jockey
Club prior to September l6, 1895:
"'Notice is further given that on and
after September 10. 1895, any owner, train
| er, jockey or horse concerned directly or in
directly in q race run at an unrecognized
course shall be denied the privilege OF this
general amnesty.
That after the tst day of October, 1895,
any horse trained or stabbed at an un-
| recognized course, or any trainer training
the same. or any jockey riding the same,
| whether during a race meeting or other
wise, will be thereby disqualified"
This action of the eastern turf organIza-
| ton has been long expected. 1t being pre-
| dicted in The Star last spring that when
! the fields on the Jockey Clubs tracks be-
| came reduced general amnesty would be
extended to horsemsn racing on outlaw
| tracks that the fields on the alleged I'M
| maculate tracks could be so increased as
to render betting better and the attend

| OF course few of them will desert those

| the action yesterday Of the Jockey Club
was a purely selfish one and taken only to

no other tracks were open to them. II Is

A JEALOUS GOVERNMENT CLERK.
4 Warrant Issued for Him mt the In
stance of n Young Lady.

A warrant was issued from the Police
Court this morning for the arrest of a gov
eminent clerk who is employed in the Sec
ond auditors office, in the Winder building.
If the case comes to trial it will probably
make some interesting reading, even II IL
does not cause a breach in a now happy
family.
The complainant in the case is a young
and rather pretty woman. According to
her story, she was walking along the ave-
nue. with gentleman friend when the
government clerk came up and took her
by the arm, in an effort to take her away
from her escort In order to avoid any
trouble or notoriety, so she says. she and
her friend left the avenue and walked down
to Missouri avenue. This was after dark
last Saturday evening. When they were
in front of 461 Missouri avenue-though 1t
was quite dark, she is certain that the
number was 461-she says she was Us
sauited again. According to her story the
government clerk, who, by the way, is q
married man, is jealous Of the attentions
which she has received at the hands of the
man with whom she was walking Satur-

sidered necessary at all. nor was it regard
ed as an essential thing to have a steam
tender. The crews were not so large nor
so well paid in those days, and they were
not engaged for SO long a time.
The expense has been accumulative in re-
cent years. The Volunteer cost about $751;
IVY. the Pilgrim about $4,000, the Jubilee
S4 W0-that was the direct expense.
While the expense in the defense Of the
cup Is SO great 1t Is well to consider that
the ambition of the English yachtsmen de-
string to capture 1t costs them no less, and,
in fact, rather more, because they have to
come over here with a large crew Of men,
and must ship their spars by the fast liners
and go to other incidental expenses which
americans know not of. The expense from
1851 down to 1871 was approximately $780,
700, but the Genesta's trip must have cost
70 000. the Gaiatea's $4,000. the Thistle's
$5O.OOo and the trip of the last Valkyrie
not a bit less than $4,000
