TALKS OF BROWN
Declares Minister'S Usefulness in the
Pulpit is Over.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Rev- Frank De Witt
Talmage, D. D., at prayer meeting in JEFF
ferson Park Presbyterian church last
evening, spoke on Rev. c. o. Brown, who
recently confessed he had been indiscreet
in his pastoral conduct. In part Dr. Tai
mage said:
thousands upon hundreds of thousands
with disgust have read the accounts of
Rev DR.. c. o. Brown, who has just con-
fessed that for months he has been wear
ing about his shoulders the dirty rag of
immortality and of perjury and of hypoc-
risy, and by his confession has just thrown
himself upon the mercy of his judges and
accusers without one excuse or one plea.
DO you know today why my own moral
character has never been in the least be-
smirched? 1t is simply due to this one
fact: If 1 should be called to visit a house
about which 1 ain in doubt or a sick wo-
man about whose character I am not sure,
1 always take my wife or else go and ask
an aged lady, some elders wife, to go
with me. I never under any conditions go
alone. Had DR.. Brown always had his
wife alongside of him he would not today
be standing amid the wreck of his home
and of his church and amid the demolition
of his whole lfe's work. and so I warn
you Christian workers, beware.
Though by the law of the gospel I can
see no other way than to welcome him
back into the church and to the pulpit, yet
from this time on all the preaching DR..
c. o. Brown can ever do, from now until
doomsday, Will never amount to one atom
of good Robert G. Ingerson's ratings
will have more religious results with the
people than even his prayers. For no
matter what he may say how he may
say it. he can never blot out the past

MENDs THE CHURCH CLOCK
Ceased to Run IA Years Ago-A
Tramp Fixes 1t.


Cincinnati, Feb 5.-For fourteen years
the clock on the steeple of st. Philomena's
church has resembled grandfather's Clock
that stopped short, never to go again,
and, although all sorts of remedies were
applied to induce the clock to quit loaf
ing and go to work. the efforts were in
vain for after a few days of grumbling
compliance with the wishes of the public,
the old clock relapsed into its habits Of
laziness. Clock experts and machinists
exhausted their skill, the hands We're
taken off and lighter ones substituted. it
had been oiled, cleaned and tinkered with,
and hundreds of dollars were expended to
no avail.
About two weeks ago a tramp landed
in the Miami freight yards, and making
his way uptown was disguised that the
clock was stopped, and he was incOnven-
fenced thereby very much
He stopped in to see Father Kennedy
to remark that the clock was stopped. and
Father Kennedy told that was its normal
state.
Mr.. Hobo at once volunteered his serv-
ices to fix it up, and in forlorn hope
Father Kennedy told him to go ahead.
The stranger went to work, borrowed
monkey wrench, a pair of pincers and
a bunch of rags, and for two days toiled
I'D in the steeple. When he had finished
the clock was started and has gone on its
way ever since, telling the hours for the
neighborhood to their great relief and
comfort.
The wandering magician has disappear
ed, swallowed up in mystery. He receiv-
ed a reward for repairing the refractory
timekeeper, and that was the last seen
of him.
