DR.. CaIisch's Sermon at Beth Ahaba.

At Beth Ahaba Synagogue yesterday
Rabbi +. n. Calisch spoke on the topic.
Religious Laggards," taking his text
from Psalm cXyi., IS lie spoke Of the
virtues Of publicly-made vows and con-
tinuing. said: "Many men are more afraid
Of their neighbors than of their God.
They do not hesitate much to do things
OF whose propriety they are not sure,
so long as their neighbOrs do not see
them. On the other hand, they will often
hesitate TO do things which they know
are acceptable TO God because they are
afraid they may appear ridiculous in the
eyes Of the irreverent. Many a man
whose tastes are temperate. whose habits
and language are moderate and clean,
will violate these rules of life when he
gets into company that does so. Men who
are relgiOusly inclined are often shame
faced in their religious exercises in public.
because while it is true they fear their
God, they fear their neighbor more"

suited in the secession OF a number Of
members, who formed themselves into a
protective labor organization, which is
now dead. The feeling arising from the
agitation. together with this secession,
reduced the membership so seriously that
for year or two the original association
barely survived. but is now becoming
stronger and bids fair to enjoy prosper

The organization. warned by past eX-

question from its deliberations. and de

technical questions OF train rules and

Bay City, Michigan, and If the con-
tents Of his pocket show anything, he
has been operating on very extens-
i've scale. There were found on him
blank checks on at least 1000 banks
in the states all the way from Texas
to Maine. He also carried a punch
such as is used in banks for punch
ing checks, and q loaded revolver.

GAS STOCK SLUMPS.

ST. Louis, Dec. LA Clede Gas stock
fell Monday to $3.50 per share, the
lowest price it has reached for several
years. For the past week the stock
has been webbing about between this
price and SOS, which was offered last
Tuesday. A slump then began. The
stock dropped to $24 on Wednesday,
to $3.50 on Friday and went to S23
on Saturday. Monday it opened at this
figure, but the bearish tendency kept
it Cd the tobOggan and brokers think
the end is not yet.
The cause of this fluctuation is
rumor that the Supreme court of the
United States has agreed upon a de-
cision adverse to the Gas company in
its mandamus suit against the city of
st. Louis. This rumor is said to have
come from an attache of the Supreme
court at Washington.
