ARGUMENTS HEARD.
In the Criminal Court. Yesterday, in the
Case oF fsttvv uarrald

In the Criminal Court. Yesterday, in the
Case of city v. Harold
In the Criminal Court, before Judge
Hugus, yesterday, arguments were
heard in the appeal case from Police
Court in the cause of city VS.. Newton
Harold. who was fined for peddling
without a license. The appeal was
taken by representative hucksters on
the ground that the city has no right
to impose tax where person ped
dies or hawks his own product, and the
test case resulting means good deal
for the city in the matter OF revenue
from this source.
At yesterdays proceedings defendant
was represented by Messrs. Campbell,
OF Bridgeport. and Dryden, of this city.
while City Solicitor Nesbitt looked after
the interests of the city. Extended ar
guments were made to the Court upon
the demurrer to the original warrant,
defense holding generally that the tax
sought to be imposed was an unlawful
and unjust one, while Mr.. Nesbits con-
tended that it was perfsety>va 49,
power of the city to impose and collect
such license.
The matter was taken under advise

BIG SALES.
A Record Without Parallel Being
Made in Disposing Of the Milligan,
Wilkin & Go. Stock.

1t is no exaggeration to say the
music business in this city has never
been stirred up as at the present time,
caused by the closing out sale of pianos
and organs of the Milligan, Wilkin &
Co. stock. For the past two days the
store has been SO crowded that it has
been necessary to call in some of the
statesmen who were out of town. The
room must be vacated shortly, and all
the goods, from the most artistic
piano to a cheap secondhand piano,
will be offered at prices regardless of
cost.
1t would be a good investment for
any one, even though they don't need a
piano, to avail themselves OF this rare
opportunity, because such a chance
might not present itself again.
The firm of Milligan, Wilkin &c Co.
was noted for handling high grade
goods of a character and reputation
that speaks for itself.
The public is cordially invited to
come and inspect the stock. Mr.. Mil
ligan will take great pleasure in show
ing the instruments and give any and
all information desired.

SHAVE HANDS IN THE EN- PLOY OF THE ST LOUIS
 SHAVE co. STRIKE.
WANTED WEEKLYP PAY DAY
But the Company Said the Monthly System and the
 "Walk-out" Resulted.

SeYentE.fiye experienced negro stave-makers in the employ of the St. Louis Slave & Lumber Company in the Western part of the city, dropped their implements this morn ing and quit work
 The trouble seems to have been broughtabont by theeompaDy post ing a notice to the effect that they would i'll future pay their hands on the 10th day of each month, chang ing the pay day from a weekly to q monthly occurrence. The Company officials informed 6 Graphic reporter this morning that it was necessary to do this on account of the hun reds of small accounts that are made by the employees and which are of great trouble to tue book-keepers and officials in general.
 When it was learned that the strike was about to occur MT. Cham bers the manager, went to those who advocated the strike and told them they could go. This they did and Mr. Chambers hustled out and got men to fill their places.
 A large body of the strikers assem- bled at a down town livery stable this morning and talked the matter over. They say they cannot do without money the whole month, that they have to purchase food for their fam flies. and cannot get it on credit. They are very much excited over the affair and say they are con- fident they will be recalled to their former jobs as they claim the ne- groes who succeeded them cannot fil the positions. When the strike occurred four little negro boys in the employ of the company were the on- ly ones left working in the plant. They are still holding down their jobs and it is very likely that the sensible four' will receive promo tions before the week is out.

 I sat in the great theatre at the national capitol. It was thronged with youth aud beauty; old age and wisdom. saw man. theIimage of his God, stand upon the stage and l heard him speak.
 His gestures was the perfection of grace, his voice was music and his language was more beautiful than any hadl ever heard from mortal lips.
 He painted picture after picture of the pleasures aud joys and sym pathies of home. c He enthroned love and preached the gospel of hu- manity like an angel. Then l saw him dip deep his brush ia the ink of mortal blackness aad blot out the beautiful pictures be had painted. l saw him stab love dead at his feet. saw him blot the stars and the sun and leave humanity and the uni verse in eternal darkness and eter- nal death.
 saw him like the serpent of old, worm himself into the paradise of human hearts and by his seductive eloquenee aud subtle devices of so- phistry, inject his fatal venom, un- der whose blight it's flowers faded it's music was hushed, it's sunshine was darkened and the soul vas left a desert waste with only the new made graves of faith and hope,
 saw him a lawless, cratic me teor without an orbit, sweep across the intellectual sky, brilliant only in it's self consuming fire, generated by friction with the indestructible and eternal truths of God,
 That man was the archangeI of modern infdelity, and 1 said, how true is the holy Writ which declares "The fool has said in his heart there is TO God"
 Tell me not, oh, in6del, there is no God, no heaven, no hell! Tell me not, oh lnfdel, there is no risen Christ.
 What intelligence less than God could fashion the human body? What motive power is it, if not God, that the drIves throbbing en- zine of the human heart with cease less, tireless stroke, sending the crimson streams of life bounding and circulating through Ievery vein and artery.
 Whence and what, If not of God, is this mystery we call mind? What is 1t that thinks and feels and knows and acts? Oh, who can deny the Divinity that stirs within us?
 God is everywhere and in every bud and blossom and leaf and tree; in every rock and Till and vale and mountain, in every spring and river.
 The rustic of his wings in every zephyr, hts might is in every temp est. He dwells in the dark payiIions of every storm cloud. The light ming is his messenger and the thun- der is his voice. His awful tread is in every earthquake and on every angry ocean. The heavens above us teem with his myriads of shining witnesses. The universe of solar systems whose wheeling orbs course the crystal path of space, proclaim through She dread halls of eternity the glory aud power and domlna- tion of the ailwise, omnipotent and eternal God.
