Sad Death OF the Little Child of a Victim
of Drink.

Sad Death of the Little Child of a Victim
of Drink.
All through the past week Sue had
been oddly happy. Her little boy had
not had touch of that hateful Group
Tor long time, now; and Luke Gait,
her husband, had got work at last He
had not drank a drop for three whole
months, but the hard times, added to
his known vice, had kept him from Sc
curing work.
Tonight was Saturday night, and by
ten minutes past six o'clock Sue began
to grow nervous Always that horror
was over her. Each tick of the big
Kitchen clock gave her deeper stab
willy, expecting his father, had been
placed in his high-chair at the supper
table, near Luke's empty seat. He
was a pale, haxen-haired child, look
ing younger than his real age, which
was barely five years. Sue worshipped
hlm' and was always dreading that the
1nsldlous Group, from which he had
already suffered several fierce attacks,
would one day snatch him from her
Jealous arms.
She and Luke had only bedroom
and kitchen in this downtown tene-
ment-house whittier want had drifted

the street. Both were full of grimv
Italians, with sprinkling of Germans
almost equally coarse. Luke's recent
good fortune had thrilled her with
passionate hope that they might soon

weeks wages that night ten blessed,
hopeful dollars. One dollar he had
borrowed from fellow-workmen last
Tuesday, and given it to his wife. Sue
had not cent left.
On a sudden she heard a sound, that
made her start and turn, She had not

Sue darted back to where he sat. His
mead had fallen sidewise; his face had
got challly tinge; from his throat
came the mutied, stertorous rattle that
he knew so well.
She caught him in her arms and flew
back with him to the bedroom. She
laid him on the bed, and then applied
what immediate remedies she remem-
bered. But these were not enough.
The prescription! She hurried to a
bureau drawer and found the bottle
which had contained it when last made
up. Not drop was leftl But the pa
per-she knew where to find that.
With slight trouble she did find it.
The only apothecary for many streets
away was Zundorf, German, notori.
ously gruff and unkind. No, he
wouldn't make up any prescription
without pay. This would cost dol
lar, and he must see the dollar before
he began on it. Dying child? Oh, yes
Too bad. But he had his living to
make. 1t wasn't any good coaxing.
He couldn't trade on promises; he'd
been fooled so many times before that
he'd shut down on all that kind of bus
mess now and forever.
Sue saw there was no use. She
caught the prescription from off the
counter, thrust it into the bosom of
her dress, and sped back again to her
rooms.

What an Archbishop Says Concerning
Crime In Ireland.

In an interview with Archbishop
Croke, of Ireland, published in the Re.
view of Reviews, that prelate is asked
number of questions relating to the
moral and spiritual of the Irish
people, and, among others, this:
What about drunkenness?" To this
the archbishop replies: "If it were
not for drunkenness there would be
no crime in Ireland at all. As it is
there is no crime which does not arise
out of that evil. There is indeed a
great deal too much drinking in the
country. We are contending against
it in every way we can. l will never
confirm any boy or girl before they
have taken pledge never to touch
any alcoholic drink before twenty-one
years of age" The archbishop pro-
ceeds to say that he thinks the situa-
tion has greatly improved in respect
to intemperance during the past fifty

Deathbed jokes are generally not
authentic. The celebrated one attrib-
uted to Tom Hood, for instance-that
he protested against blaming the under
taker who had blundered into coming
before the great wit was dead, and said
that the man had ''only come to urn a
lively Hoods known to be decidedly
apocryphal. Nevertheless. remark
somewhat of the same sort, which is at
tributed to Lord Chesterfield in his last
illness, is undoubtedly authentic. Ches-
terfield was very ill and his death was
only matter of few weeks; but his
physician advised that he be taken for
an easy drive in his carriage, and he
went out. AS the equipage was pro-
eeeding slowly along it was met by a
lady, who remarked, pleasantly, to the
great invalid: "Ah, my lord, l am glad
to see you able to drive out" II am not
driving out, madam" answered Ches-
terfield; Il am simply rehearsing my
funeral."-Youth's Companion.

1t Must Be OF the Lively, Active Kind 10

THE religion ofthe times" was the sub
ject of the address by the Rev. Samuel l..
Beiler, Phi. D., vice chancellor of the Ameri-
can University, at the mems gospel meeting
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tioD yesterday afternoon.
"a more appropriate title of this ad-
dress said DR. Beiler, would have been
the religion for the times. The ChEs
tian would pretty thoroughly understand
what the religion Of the times is. But they
don't understand what it should BE-. What
we need in these days is a live religion; one
that never sleeps, one that is constantly and
forever on the lookout 10 step in and lend

the wayside. Christians do not appreciate
the necessity for this active, live work

fair city OF Washington you viii, no doubt
see copies of that greatest of all paintings,
Raphael's Madonna You admire it and
appreciate its great strength and beauty
but those who have seen the original, which
is hung in the National Gallery at London,
will see that something is lacking. And
what is this something They study and
study, when ofa sudden it bursts upon them
that the divine touch of the great MASTER

And so it is with some men. They want

God. but they don I wantto exert themselves
too much; they lack life, live religion. But
like the blind girl who suddenly regained her
sight, these men wake up some day and be-
come the active workers that are needed in
the Christian world. And not only these
passive Christians gain the life which helps
them onward in the struggle for God, but
the sinner who has never, except possibly
in momentsof great need. given one thought
to his maker, suddenly sees the light and
consecrates himself to God.
Let me say right here, the chancesare that
this same sinner becomes a much more
active, live worker than the cOnteuted
selfsatisfied Christian who as considered
that he has done his duty when he goes to
church twice on Sunday and give freely TO

and this is the cause OF the trouble
At the beginning OF the present admins

law that no former incumbents of Office
should be appointed. In following out in
strnctions Mr.. Bissell made many enemies

Every now and then the President would vio-
late his own rule and appoint former Office

Bissell is weary OF having his recommends

formed the President that if Mr. Bailey is
appointed he will resign. Every one famiiior

DR.. SkelIenger Says Their Union Is of

Rev. DR.. d. W. Skellenger, pastor of the
Sixth Presbyterian Church, at the corner
of Sixth and streets southwest, preached
a special sermon last evening on the gem
eral theme of patriotism. the discourse hay-
ing been invited by the members of Jasper
Council, No. %, of the Junior Order of
American Mechanics.
The reverend speaker was surrounded
by patriotic influences, the national col
ors bedecking the pulpit, the side columns,
and the rear wall, while in the front panel
of the pulpit there was placed portrait
of the Father of His Country" which was
likewise decorated with red, white, and
blue bunting.
Members of the several District coun-
els, each wearing badge which is a part
of the insignia of the order, occupied seats
reserved for them in the front pews on the
left of the center aisle.
DR.. Skeliengef paid fervent tribute to
the character of Washington, to honor
whom, he said, was one of the objects ofthe
service, referring to the abuse heaped upon
him in his lifetime "by the mean and mer-
cenary public men, of that day, contrasted
with the honors now paid TO his memory,
and said we need now men of his stamp in
the legislative halls and in other stations
in public life to carry out the principles he
advocated, the first of which was to put
none but Americans on guard"
His theme was deducted from the words
of the faithful captain of the six hundred
uttered to King David after he eabdicated
the throne through fear of Absalom.
There are many TO be found, he said,

IT POINTS A MORAL.

Another week and the Fifty-third Con-
gress viii have passed into history. With
the possible exception of three measures its
record is anything but good. and but few
members will look upon their connection
with it as worthy Of congratulati9n. The
repeal of the Sherman Law, the Federal election
law, and the new tariff law, which en-
bodies the income tax, were commcndable
measures, but aside from them the entire
Congress has been a series of wrangling,
lobbying, do-nothing discussion. Even the
revision Of the tariff, honestly begun, ended
in disgraceful surrender to the sugar trust.
The present Congress has demonstrated
conclusively that the Senate is composed of
the wrong kind OF men to represent the com
mon people. No measure looking to the re-
lief Of the masses can pass that body, and all
propositions conferring greater power On
corporate organizations seem 10 be in high
favor. 1t is a House of untitled lords, whose
sympathies and interests are entirely with
ths wealthier classes, and an investigation Of
the personal history of each Senator will
chow that a majority have earned their
wealth through speculation-some before
and some since their career in the Senate.
The House. as well as the Senate. fails 10
properly represent the people, although
elected by popular vote and for shorter
terms. But its failure is due to other causes
than sympathy with wealth. Il is impossible
for any legislator handicapped by an over
powering desire to be returned &c Office and
loaded down with pettifogging bills, TO prop
erly represent a constituency. His mouth
will be closed on ali measures that come in
conflict with his ambition, and his vote in
huenced by the necessity of passing pettifog-
ging bills to insure reelection. The lobby
element also plays an important part in the
House In shaping legislation, but it cannot
work so great an influence as il does in the
Senate
The moral Of this Congress should be
needed. The great public. needs protectors,
friends. sympathizers rs representatives in
its law-making body. Instead it has, as
Rrule, lobbying politicians controlled by per-
sonal interests. The proof of this statement
lies in the work of Congress, and cannot be
disputed. The failure of Congress to act
promptly and intelligently has not been the
fault of party policy. No political principles
have been adhered 10 and no acknowledged
policy followed. The entire work of Con-

A WIND GAS CORPORATION.

In another column Will be found com
munication from Mr.. T. P; B. Sands. attorney
for the new gas company, reiteratiDg the
assurance that his company is sincere in its
pledges TO give Washington cheaper gas. On
receipt Of the communication THE TIMES
made a request of Mr.. Sands to publish the
names Of the real hackers Of his company,
90 as to refute the assertion that there was
no financial strength in its proposition. Mr..
Sands refused to grant this request, and in
doing 50 destroys what little faith this paper
had in his sincerity. .--s-
The TIMES speaks Of Mr.. Sands sincerity
because he is the only interested person
known in the proposition TO establish new
gas plant. The persons whose names are
affixed TO the articles of incorporation dis
claim any financial interest in the company.
They say their names were loaned for con-
yenience and that they know nothing fur
ther And as Mr.. Sands objects TO publishing
the names of these alleged capitalists it must
be taken for granted that his scheme is moth
ing but wind work.
Washington needs and must have cheaper
gas. The Washington Gasllght Company
has monopoly, and so controls the present
Congress that no bill fixing a lower rate can
be enacted. The remedy rests with gas con-
sumers. 1t is useless to depend upon such
organizations as the one represented by Mr.
Sands, and united effort should be made to
induce the next Congress TO establish lower
price. Dollar gas would save the public at
least half million dollars each year, and
tor the present that rate would be satisfactory.

yesterday morning, duty is the highest
word"
DR.. Hamlin addressed great audience,
the pews from altar to entrance being oc-
cupied and the ushers were obliged to
bring in dozens of extra seats
He compared the transmission OF moral
good to that of earthly wealth, and said
while we have reietced the law OF entail it
nevertheless holds in moral wealth. All
humanity grows richer with each generation.
Spiritual life to-day owes much To Abraham,
to David, 10 Shakespeare. What riCh
moral kingdom shall Christ tcome to when the
angel reapers shall put in their sickles for
the harvest.
In the kingdom of God on earth there is
an endless succession. 1t often seems there
is so much evil that the force OF our hands is
powerless- In politics the good man meets
a hydra-headed evil and has no courage to
buffet it. In the church empty formalitieS
and doctrines chill his soul and he stands
aghast. In dismay he asks, Where shall I
begin? Ny day isso short Icanfurnish moth
ing.
Let him remember that he is but one in the
succession. He is as the coral insect that
builds where his predecessor left off and
leaves basis on which his successor builds.
All working in succession they form the
beauties that adorn the sea. 1t is as when
the ouck ket is passed along the line at village
fire.

deems my life from insignificance. Re
member this and you will do your little with
as much Joy and faithfulneSs as if you were
giving the finishing stroke to the worlds
redemption.
The workers in the fields of God make up
one communion. One soweth and another
reapeth. Good wears as many outward
forms as evil. The spirit OF God invigorates
all nature, and all forms of nature have in
them possibilities of good. Cleanliness,
conscience, freedom, honesty are only differ
ent forms of expression of the Divine spirit.
Once the way to serve God was to die for
Him; now the way is to live for Him
So with the good work of those next in
plain view to duty. Keep on doing duty, no
matter whether you see the result or not;
the moral soil will he enriched. Shall we have
no confidence in the mutability of
moral law; no faith in Gods future? Duty
is the daughter OF God. To SOW is greater
than to reap, if there be any difference.
Let who will garner the harvest; let it be
yours TO know that the seed has been sown.
