SUNDAY RUNAWAY.
Plate Glass Window in Kautz Brothers
 Saloon Broken, as the Result.

A rattling runaway occurred yester- day afternoon on Elm street in which John Memo and sorrel horse hitched to a trap figured rather conspicuously. About o'clock the rig which is the property of George H. Bishop, was be- ing driven down Elm street by Memo. and when near the corner of High street the horse frightened at a pass ing street car. The frightened animal started to run down Elm street, and the driver by his efforts to stop its progress broke the right rein and was thrown from the buggy. He fell on his right shoulder and side and was badly bruised, but had no bones broken.
 The horse continued its made course down the street, barely missing several rigs. It did not attempt to turn the corner of state street, but ran directly across the street and into the front window of Kautz Brothers saloon. The large plate glass was completely demol- ished, as was also the casing support ing it. The trap was dragged up onto the sidewalk and the horse fell pros trate.
 pr. J. H. Kelly, thd we'll known vet erinary surgeon, assisted by several others, succeeded in getting the horse up again. One of the pieces of glass had penetrated into the side of the ani- mal just back of the left foreleg and severed a small artery. The beast was punctured by another small piece. Reynnd these small irillrieS and A. few bruises the horse was uninjured The right shaft of the trap was broken square off. The loss occasioned by the breaking of the window will be about S2OO.

THE RAILROAD '. M. c. A.
ADDRESSED BY DR. LINES OF ST.
 PAUL'S CHURCH.

"HOw to Make the Most of Life"-The
 Power to Shape Our Lives-The Wealth
 Not the Chief End of Living-Wealth
 and Power Pass Away.
 The meeting of the Railroad Y. M. c. A. yesterday afternoon was well at tended and interesting, The choir of St. Paul's church attended in a body and the several pieces rendered by it were much appreciated.
 Rev. Dr. Lines of St. Paul's church spoke, taking as his subject "How to Make the Most of Life" He said, in part, that the question of how to make the most of life was one which appeal ed to every one, and one which each must think out and determine. We rec ognize the fact that our lives are to a great extent determined by circum- stances, by heredity and by environ ment, but after we have taken all these into account we still see that there is something unaccounted for, that we have a free will and power to make our own lives.
 "The other day heard O. young per son say that he wanted to have all the pleasure he could in his life so that when he was dying he would have something pleasant to look back upon. The remark was probably made thoughtless. People when they are dy- ing do not think of the pleasant times they have had in the lives they are about to leave.
 "In my duties as a minister l nave been present at the last hour with many people. In the eighteen years l have been in the ministry the parish records show that there have been nearly a thousand deaths, and of all that num- Der I do not remember one whose thought at the time of death was of the pleasant times of the life he had | lived.
 Then there are others who try to se- cure all the wealth they can, as if this was the chief aim of life. It is natural ! inquiry for all of us when we hear of the death of any one to ask how much | they were worth. What is really meant by these inquiries is how much proper ty in land they have left. We often ] see men whose chief end in life seems | to be to get wealth. They are constant | ly reckoning the amount they have in bonds and other assurances of wealth. | But wealth and power are but tenn porary. And now I come to the point that every preacher seeks to inculcate in his sermon-religion. I will not call it that; will call it goodness and char acter, although I believe that religion is necessary to the attainment of these. Character and goodness are the only things in life that can endure and sat isfy us. These we can contemplate with joy and satisfaction as the close of life.
 II do not think one's life should be devoid of joy and pleasure, like some of the prophets and good men of old, who suffered and were deprived of all the joys of life for the benefit of hu- manity and for us."

MIR. MUTCH's SERIES OF SERMONS
At the Howard Avenue Congregational
 Church-The Boys Club.

At the Howard Avenue Congregational
 Church-The Boys Club.
 Rev. W. J. Mutch of the Howard ave- nue Congregational church has just finished the last of a series of five dis courses on the conditions, favorable and unfavorable, for receiving the word of God as illustrated by the different kinds of soil in the parable of the sow- CT.
 The purport of the series was to show that favorable conditions can only be produced by careful and continuous nurture, especially that Christian growth and training which belong to childhood and youth. The good soil stands for the highest life of the world, and even there, there is no limit to the improvement which can be made ac- cording to the law of spiritual increase, ITO him that hath shall be given and he shall have abundance"
 The communion of the Lords supper was celebrated, and the rite of baptism was administered to two children.
 The subject of the evening sermon was Jesus the Witness The text was John 1887, ITO this end was I born and for this cause came into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice"
 The Boys club of this church is car rying on valuable work in mailing secondhand periodicals to families at the south who are unable to get read ing matter for themselves. Each boy has family to whom he sends pack age once in two weeks The papers are greatly appreciated, as the letters received show, and the boys enjoy the work
 The singing of the choir under the directionof H. K. Beach was one of the features at both services the solos by Miss Sadie Thompson and Edward Minor; also the duet by Miss Thompson and A. B. Treat were among the inter esting parts of the services.
 An art exhibit is being prepared by some members of the Ladies society for Wednesday evening, November 10, in the church parlors. It is a new thing and entirely different from anything of the kind offered in this church or city before. A very fine collection of copies of the latest copyright paintings and drawings of modern artists has been secured. They include the work of such artists as E. A. Abby, S. Bigg, A. B, Frost B. w. Clinedinst, c. D. Gibson, Kate Greenway, w. H. Low and Howard Pyle.

TIE PROPOSED TEA DUTY.

The proposed duty of 10 cents per
pected opposition on the ground that it
would work n hardship to the consum-
ers of that beverage. 1t is urged that
increasing the price of tea to the extent
of the tax would be Il serious matter to
Il great many people and would GER
tainly cause widespread complaint. If
the proposed duty should be adopted
doubtless it would be made use of by n
class of politicians to create sentiment
against the party responsible for its
adoption. but such an effort might not
be very largely successful when the peo-
pie thoroughly understood the matter.
1t is undoubtedly true that some peo-
pie would regard the duty as a hard
ship, but in view of the fact that the
annual consumption of tea in the
United States amounts to only about
one and one-half pounds per capita
1t is obvious that n very large
majority of the people would not
feel TO any appreciate extent The
advance in the price of tea which would
result from the duty. Another point to
be considered is thai consumers would
probably get n better article If ten We're
made dutiable. This Is the contention
Of most of those engaged In the tea
trade. New York importers express the
opinion that the duty of 10 cents Il
pound on tea win keep out the inferior
grades that are imported into the
United States. some of which are unfit
for consumption even in China. 1t is
stated that the quality of teas that have
been imported into this country in re-
cent years has been so low that the
average price is now l3H cents per
pound. Some teas, however, sell at
wholesale prices Mt from 40 to 80 cents.
As II very small proportion sells ut these
rates the balance must be ut "A very low
price 10 bring the average down to 1872
cents per pound. The duty of 10 cents
per pound will add about 1O0 per cent
ard more to the lower grades. The duty
being specific, the same amount will be
paid for the highest rs well as The low
est grades. The proportion of advance
ment In Accent teas will consequently
be but % per cent. The consumers will
naturally get better value ON high-priced
e han on those of n lower price and
the advance will be Insignificant In com
