America's Vice, Swearing.

The Rev. F. M. Goodchild, pastor
Of the Central Baptist Church, preached
the fourth of his series Of sermons on
popular frivolities and vices last night.
Swearing was the vice denounced last
night.
His text was from Matthew v, 80:
"But I say unto you swear not at
ALL" ss'Ihere is no vice." said he,
"more prevalent than that Of profane
swearing. It is especially marked in
this country. Americans. are said to
be the profanest people in the world.
An American travelling in Russia
once, who was not heard to swear, was
mistaken for a minister.
"The men swear, the women swear,
and children with the lisp hardly out
of their speech swear. / suppose the
name of Christ is not spoken so often
in prayer as in blasphemy.
II have a word or two to say about
judicial oaths here. Some of our
brethren believe that such oaths are
included in Christ's prohibition. It
may at least be said that such oaths
are administered far too often and far
TOO lightly. Enough lies are told in
any custom house to sink the place.
What strange verdicts juries render |!
Yet they r under oath. What sin
gular charges Judges sometimes make,
although they are under oath How
hurriedly vicious railroad enterprises
are put through boards of aldermen
and Legislatures, and yet all Of our
legislators are under oath! Why, it is
very common, this kind Of swearing.
"The oath has lost ~its:meaning, and
might better be entirely dispensed
with. I thank God I live in q land
where my affirmation is accepted as
the equivalent of an oath.
"God in the Ten Commandments
forbade only taking His name in vain.
But Christ condemns all oaths, whether
by the heavens above or the earth be-
meath. That includes all common
oaths, such as My heavens Great
Scott: and the like, to say nothing of
the towards oaths, such as darn It,
when one means damn it, and gosh,
when one means God
Swearing is the most useless Of
sins. Lying, stealing and adultry
bring some temporary advantage OF
pleasure, but swearing gives nothing.
It is a vulgar sin. Lord Chesterfield
said that a gentleman never swears.'
--New York Times, May 24.

Just o Common Liar.

cold B." says some years ago in a
Carolina town a crazy man was brought
before an examining board to settle
the question as to whether or not he
should be sent to the asylum in Co.
lumbia. After the doctor got through
with his examination, n of the COM
mittee, an old farmer, said:
"My friend, did you ever borrow any
bags or jugs?"
Eyes, lots of them"
"Did you aver borrow your neigh
boris lewspaperP
eyes, manga time
"Well, now, what became of the
jugs, bags and neRspapers?'
"Why, I carried them all back"
The old farmer gave a blow almost
as loud as '"Nancy Harris" whistle,
and said:
Gentlemen, he's no lunatic! just
simply a common liar, and all the asy-
lums in the world won't cure him of

The first witness called in the case by
the State was William c. Chester, who
lives opposite to the Dolan's, on Irving
avenue. The witness saw men go to the
house at night, at all hours; men of all
ages, from mature age to the beardless
youth. As high as six carriages have
been seen before the Dolan house at one
time. The occupants of the carriage
were both men and women, and always
went in the house and remained there un-
til all hours of the night. At the break
ing up of the orgies at night the Lam
guage indulged in by the men and
women is not fit for publication.
Several witnesses were produced by
the State, and according to the evidence.
the Dolan house must certainly be a bad
one.
The jury in the Clark illegal sale of
liquor case rendered verdict of guilty.
The balance of the forenoon was taken
up with the Dolan case.

LOSS OF THE VESSEL,
Details OF the Wreck of the s4TilIie Van
derherchen,"

Details OF the Wreck of the s4Tillie YAM
derherchen."
Details of the loss of the Philadelphia
owned schooner Tillie Vanderherchen
were received Friday by c. T. Mcgee
u Co., lis Walnut street. the agents and
part owners, in a letter from Captsin S.
p. Wilson, who is virtual prisoner at
the quarantine station at Tybee, Ga. The
first intimation that the vessel was lost
was received on Sunday in brief dis
patch from Savannah, stating that she
had been wrecked and abandoned at sea
and that Captain Wilson and crew had
been picked up by the Italian brig Labor
amas and taken to Tybee.
Every day since then both the family
of Captain Wilson, who live in this city,
as well as Messrs Mcgee & Co., have been
crew of the ILL., fated vessel. That they
have not reached this city is fully ex-
planned in Captain Wilson'S letter.
The Tillie Eanderherchen. three
masted schooner, owned by Henry Mat
hews and others in Philadelphia, sailed
from there November last with a cargo of
coal for jacksonville, Fla. After dis
charging the coal and taking on a cargo
of heart pine lumber she sailed for
Guadaloupe. On the morning of Dec
ember IA violent storm broke over the
vessel and swaying to and fro were seen
two gigantic waterspouts directly in the
wake of the ship and bearing down on
her. Either was of sufficient size to have
destroyed the vessel. Some of the crew
fell upon their knees and prayed, while
| others seemed frozen with fear Light
ming struck the mainmast and the water
spouts burst directly over her. The
water came down in such torrents that
| the scruppers and ports We're wholly
inadequate to carry it away and the crew
were fioated off their feet. The crew was
| afterward picked up by an italian brig.
The Tillie Nanderherchen was built at
Mauricetown, n. J., in 1875, and was last
surveyed at Philaladelphia in August,
| 1896. at which time she was classed No. l
for four years. She was valued at about
$4,000 and was only partially insured.
