PRIEST AND PULPIT.

THE BAPTIST CHURCH-The even- ing sermon at the Baptist church was on the text found in Galations 6:17: "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus" We quote a few suggestive sentences: Every mans soul bears some brand. There are scars hon. orable and scars shameful. Nations have their scars of shame, like slavery. the opium trade, the Armenian hor- TOT, the Cuban war. Cities have their scars Sabbath breaking, licentious- ness, gambling Souls have their scars. You can visit our city jail all most any day and see these scared wrecks of humanity. There are g,ori- ous scars. Euch were worn by Paul, Judson, Savonarola. They followed in the path of the great captain whose 'visage was so marred more than any man. There are those who bear the mark of the cross, and those who bear the mark of the beast. Better death with Paul than life with Nero Better bleeding hands, pierced heart, no home, than power purchased by dis honor with Pilate. Better the cross and the crown of thorns, than the marble palace of modern Croesus or the crown of corrupt empire. Each man can choose his master, can bear the brand of Cain or the brand of Christ; can be his brothers murderer or his brothers keeper"
 THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH-The Rev. Calvin Ogburn occupied the pull pit morning and evening and preached to good audiences. The theme of the morning discourse was "The Loss of Potential Energy" and the case of Samson and Delilah was read as the scripture lesson. Potential energy was defined as being our reserve force, our capital or stock in trade, our abil- ity. The speaker divided the subject into two classes physical energy and moral energy-and spoke forcibly of the waste and loss of the first by de- bauchery and intemperance, and also of moral energy by evil associations He compared the effect of wicked en- vironment on ones character and life, to the encroachment and undermining of the river bank by the waters of the river. As our physical bodies become weak with disease, so our moral na- lures become dull and blunt from neg ligence. A machine will wear out sooner if left standing out in the rain and sun than if used constantly and properly cared for. So a man who spends busy life in doing good will live longer than one who sits down and rusts out. He advised young peo- pie to take long view of life, and to the young ladies said it was one thing to get married and quite another to live whole life with a dissolute, wicked husband. The subject of the evening sermon was Prepare to Meet Thy God. Why?" In answering this important question he presented many practical thoughts and illustrations.

HE LIFTS A HORSE.
A Daily Exhibition of Strength by 9
 Phoenix Man.

Sandow is thought to be the strong est man in the world Charmion is pictured as the strongest woman
 Every circus coming to town claims to have with it regular Samsons and Samsonesses. For years and years boys have stood before the bill boards and gazed in wonder and astonish- ment at the pictures of strong men lifting horses. In the ring this act is performed, the vast multitudes under the canvas loudly applauding the he o who gives this splendid exhibition of strength. Note the fact, right here, that in order to do this great lifting act the man or the woman is on a raised platform, always provided with lot of strange harness especially in vented so as to assist the weaker parts of the litter and to bring about lev craze without which it would be inn possible to swing the animal clear of the ground. It is also to be noted that the horse is never very large. Of course it will be admitted that not withstanding all the assisting bands and easily swinging platforms, the feat Is a great one. But few persons have

ever developed sufficient muscle to ac- complish it. Fully doth it appear that prophet is not appreciated in his own country. If not a prophet, neither shall strong man be appreciated in his own town. So it seems, for twice a day, morning and evening a man right here in the city of Phoenix, not only lifts horse, but actually carries him quite a distance before setting him down on his feet again. This horse is fully seventeen and half or eighteen hands high. While this man is exercising in this manner daily. with the same horse in front of one of Phoenix's business houses, citizens pass along and pay no attention to the performance. The strong man is Billy Kirkland at Thayer's hardware store. He developed his muscular power, it is said, by playing foot ball and solo

THE BIRD SHOO'l
A Close Contest Between Work, Scho-
 field and Holmes.

The live bird race at the park yes terday afternoon between Messrs. Schofeld. Holmes and Work was a very evenly contested race from start to finish. The original race was to be at fifty birds. but unfortunately sufficient birds were not secured so it was, however, decided to shoot it out at thirty-five. Schofield was first at the score and let his first bird get away. He made up for it by killing his next seventeen straight, then missed his eighteenth, twenty-fifth ard twenty-sixth, finishing with thirty-one Holmes started out and set a hot pace by killing his first twelve. His miss of the thirteenth seemed to rattle him some, as he missed his fourteenth, sixteenth, twenty-fourth and twenty sixth, finishing with thirty.
 Work, like Schofield, missed his first bird, but did not make as long straight run, as he dropped his sixteenth, then the twenty-ninth. finishing with thirty- one and making tie between him ar d Schofie1d. On account of the short age of birds the tie Was not shot off but the purse was divided In birds, Work drew the hardest lot, the score showing as follows: Right quarter, 15; left quarter, 8; straightaway. A.; incomers, 5; twisters, 3. Holmes drew right quarter, 5; left quarter, 13; straightaway, 3; incomers, g; twist CTS, 2. Schofield drew right quarter g.; left quarter, 5; straightaway, 3; in corners, IT; twisters, 1. While there is no doubt that Holmes and Schofeld are excellent shots, yet the concensus of opinion seems to be that they are outclassed by Work owing to his long experience at the trap.

MONSTER LOCOMOTIVE.
Largest Passenger Engine in the West Running Out of Denver.

Denver, Feb. 27.-The largest pas senger locomotive in operation west of the Missouri river pulled out of Denver at 1:3O o'clock this afternoon on the southbound Santa Fe. This locomotive made its first trip on the vestibuled eight-coach train known as the forty -mile-an-hour Chicago limited. The monster machine, which weighs no tons, towers above the largest engines in the depot yards by fully half height. It is thirty tons heavier than the engines now in use, and can maintain a speed of seventy miles an hour up a 4 per cent grade without extra effort. The locomotive which was built for the Santa Fe for grade climbing, will be used only for hauling rapid trains between Denver and Palmer lake, where the divide is reached.

 Parf Workmen-

Dayton, O., Feb. 27-Indignation was shown toward the Spaniards here yesterday. The National Cash Regis ter company is holding a convention of agents from all over the world, and, among other countries, Spain is repre- sented.

Objection was made to the Spanish flag by the workmen, and twelve Spanish flags displayed about the works were pulled down and torn into shreds. President John H.

200 TONS COVERED.
Provisions Lost in an Alaskan Ava
 lanche.

Tacoma, Wash, Feb. 27.-Two weeks ago an avalanche came laundering down the mountain slopes and at the south end of Lake Bennett an inn mense mass of snow and ice was de- posted on the trail and 200 tons of supplies were buried many feet. Their owners had stacked them up together in what seemed to be sheltered spot, while they were whip-sawing lumber for boat building. Now they have only the whip-saws, and are trying to dig out their outfits. So far as can be learned no one was injured by the avalanche, though people in tents not far away had a morrow escape.
 This news was brought down by John Ohlegschlager of Puyallup, Wash, who has just arrived here f om Alaska.

THE MONEY IN WALL STREET.
New York Could Furnish $1O0, ,000, ,0O0
 on Forty-Eight Hours Notice.

New York, Feb. 27.-The matter of raising government funds has been considered in a very guarded manner by some of the heaviest financial in terests, centering in Wall street. The government has been assured in an swer to inquiries that it may depend upon securing $100,000,000 within forty-eight hours after making a de- mand. It is not likely that it will be able to secure the rates shown by the last popular loan subscription, and it is estimated that a thirty-year 4 per cent bond at about 104 will be the loan figure. The banks are somewhat ner- vous over the situation, inasmuch as the country bankers have begun to call home their reserves from this city, and are thus reducing their available loaning property. Many of the banks are also disposing of stocks in order to have funds available for bond sub scription purposes.
