Sermon Last Night.
The Rev. s. NJ. Hartsock, pastor OF R yland
n. L. Church, preached an interesting ser
mon on Tongue government" last evening
to quite a large congregation in spite nf
the intense heat. The services were held
in the basement or the church, corner of D
and Tenth streets southwest. anu d feature
OF the services was the singing.
Rev. Mr. HartsOck took Ior his text the
thirteenth verse of the thirt v eig hth
Psalm-"Keep thy tongue from evil and
thy lips from speaking guile The prin-
cipal thought which the gentleman spoke
Oh was the watching OF Tie tongue.
This little member of our physical or
gaDization,' said the speaker, was de-
signed by our creator only for useful pur-
poses, but is oitentimes the source Of great
mischief. 1t needs to be guarded by the
bride OF prudence, the bit of discretion the
curb of charity and the martingale OF
wisdom or it will run at random like a
wild colt.
I'VE have a variety of tongues which
are permitted 10 run at large by their
owners many OF them bankrupt and who
Sre unable TO render any remuneration for
trespass committed. They are Nuisance
to society and stamp their owners with
disgrace. The tattI;ng tongue. the wiis-
pering tongue, the gossiping tongue and the
lying tongue are trespasseTs on society and
do more damage than q good many other
things that are regarded as considerable
more dangerous.
1.-THE malicious tongue. that can swallow
perjury like water and digest forgery
as easily as graham bread and can convert
white into black, truth into falsehood and
Innocence into crime, should be closely
watched and steps taken 10 guard oneself
from its terrible results.
1.-THE political tongue has begun TO wag
and will not cease until next November. !"

Representative L. D. Apsley, who has
represented the Fourth Congressional dis
trict of Massachusetts in the House during
the Fifty-third and the first session of
the Fifty-fourth Congresses, has notified
the managers OF his district that he will
not. under any circumstances, accept a
denomination.
y. Mr.. Apsley was vice chairman Of the
Republican, Congressional committee in the
last campaign, and was unanimously re-
elected by his associates to act in the
same capacity during the present cam
paign, and while he will not stand for re-
election to Congress, he will remain with
Chairman Babcock at the head of the Con
gressioual committee in Washington until
the close OF the election In November.
Although he has been assured of prac-
tically unanimous denomination, and
friends have brought much pressure to
bear upon him to again become candidate,
Mr.. Apsley feels that he owes it to his
business interests to withdraw from active
politics after the close of his present term
IN Congress.
He has represented one OF the mes,

STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
CoIored Man Was Walking on the
Track and Is Dead Now.

Benjamin Brown, cuiored, about twerty-
seven years old, was struck by an incoming
express at GerInautown, Nd, about
O'Clock yesterday morning and received
Injuries, which resulted in his death at
Freednan's Hospital in this city. As the
man was unconscious from the TIME the
train struck him until his death, Ii is not
known exactly where he lived, although
it is supposed to be near where he net
with the fatll accident.
From all accounts it appears that the
mau was walking along the track coming
toward Washington, and did not hear the
approach of the express. continuous
blowing Of the whistle failed to attract
his attention and before the train could be
checked the engine struck him, hurting him
into IL ravinc some feet away. His left
forearm was severed from the rest of the
ar.l and numerous ribs were broken,
while other parts Of the body were severely
bruised and laceratcd. The train was
stopped and the injured man brought to
this city, arriving here about noon. He
was taken to FreedInan's Hospital, where
every effort was made to save his life. TIE
case. however, was hopeless one. and
in few hours Brown expired. The coroner
was notified, and an inquest Will proha-
bly, be held ut the hospital to-day.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
Rev. II. r. Acree of Knoxville Preached
an Interesting Sermon

An Interesting Sermon.
Rev. r. R. Acree, of the First Baptist
| Church, Knoxville, Tenn, occupied the
pulpit at the First Baptist Church last
! evening.
He took his text from the Psalms xviii: 9,
II will say of the Lord He is my rock. 81
| Before discussing his text Dr. Acree, re-
| ferring to the oppressiveness OF the weather
| said, he was sorry for his hearers and felt
| and appreciated their coming out to hear
| him, stranger
Then returning to his subject. he said
| there were two separate and distinct re-
velations OF God, one through the Bible
and the other through nature. 1t was from
the latter that he drew his argument of
the great power and beauty of God in all
his relations to man.
No one, he said, who would give
serious thought to all that was revealed
by nature, could fail to be impressed with
the truth of the fact that the moving spirit
of all was God.
He then drew a beautiful picture compar-
ing God to a great rock which would with
| stand the storms of centuries. He Is seen
in all natu re. an for this tits that from the
time of Moses to the present day Col has
been well and aptly compared to rock.
embematic of justice. He then pictures
great rock balancing itself in a storm
swervng neither to the right nor left, with
standing the storms and sunshine of ages
but which. when the spring time comes. is
clothed in beauty by God.
when we can see these things" he
said, I'VE need no preacher to tell US OF
the omDiscience, the righteousness OF God;
no one to tell US We want justice from cur
creator, for 1t ia evident that what we must
ask is mercy. Tbereare, however many in
equalities In this life; great wrongs done
for which the perpetrators go uD whipped OF
justice; but when we remember that the
mountain of justice still endures we must
feel and know that sooner or later justice
will be meted out to all. Often our actions
are misjudged and we are made to suffer
by the misconstruction Of the intent of
what we have done, but we all find CON-
fort in the knowledge and belief that we
will not be misjudged by God.'
In conclusion he spoke of the sa fety to
lie found in a rock. To illustrate the force
of this he told the story of a man who
during the civil war found a safe hiding
place in the mountains. He was one OF
those, DR.. Acree said. who would rather
live than die for his country, and, telling
OF his hiding afterwards, he said that to
find him they would have had to burn
the rocks and sift the ashes.

ONE ON INGALLS,.

Here is one on the vitriolic statesman
out-of-a-job ingalls,. He had been doing
syndicate newspaper work in St. Louis
during the convention and had received
a reporters license and badge, but lost
them and when he presented himself ut
the convention hall the officer refused to
admit him. He left that officer and went
all the time explaining who he was and
the nature of his business, but none of
them had ever heard Of him or had ever
seen his picture. Finally he met one of
the national committeeman who knew
him and he was admitted. Ingalls, must
just then have felt that all this thing we
call life is an iridiscsnt dream.

that when men got mad they would
say and do outrageous things; that to
expect that men would never fight was
to hope that, whenever they lost their
