forces, and that is the human will.
If man sins he knows it, and knows
that he is responsible for it. Pharaoh

heart and continued to resist God s
warnings, and God, who had given
him full power to resist the evil and
choose the good, suffered him to per-

And so, after four hundred years in

prepare to go again to their own land.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
International Sunday School Lesson
for December 8, 1901.
BY REV. FRANKLIN B. DWIGHT.
EXODUS XII: ITO.
Moses and Phaeaoh.

It was either at the burning bush, or
perhaps soon after, that the Lord gave
Moses two signs in order to prove his
authority. His rod was turned into
serpent, and his hand, made leprous,
was at once restored. Moses must do
two things. He must overcome the
faithless timidity of the Israelltes,
and, what was far more difficult, he
must break the stolid opposition OF
Pharaoh. He was to win Israel by q
fuller revelation of Gods name, (vl:
1-5) that is, by clearer setting forth
of the nature of the Covenant God,
who remembered his people. He was
to conquer Pharaoh by q series OF
miraculous judgments intended to
subdue his proud heart and to show
forth for all time the terror OF
Gods judgments against persistent
sin.
The ten plaques had basis in the
natural objects with which the people
were familiar, the water, the insects,
the hail storm and other familiar
things. The people were to learn that
all these things were under the con
troll of God, and that, as they fulfilled
his word in these great catastrophles,
SO they were always the servants OF
Him who ssmaketh His angels spirits,
| His ministers flame of fire. " Notice
also, that they increased in severity,
the river made blood, frogs, lioe-all
plaques that were extremely distress
| ing, then still worse, flies, murrain
and boils, plaques giving bodily pain,
and then three plaques which by their
connection with. great natural forces
must have called forth a feeling of
the deepest awe added to awful suffer
ing. These were hail and fire, locusts,
which" eat every herb of the land and
all the fruit Of the trees" tx :15),
and then gross darkness. These lead
up to the most terrible Judgment,
the Staying of the first born, which IS
predicted in our lesson.
One word ON the general subject
of miracles in the natural world,
which may be said to come prominent
ly into human history for the first
time with the events of which we
have been speaking. Miracles are a
suspension of those laws to which
we are accustomed, and the calling
into operation of other laws which
are to us unknown, by the power OF
Him who alone is Creator and Law
giver of the Universe By whatever
agency they are worked, their ultl-
mate cause is the will of God and as
finger posts in the dim morning
twilight of revelation they point for
ward to Him whose coming is the
miracle fact of all time and whose
resurrection is the miracle pledge OF
all eternity. They are not like the
senseless works of magic related in
legendary and apocryphal books.

Former Washington Magnate Admits
Making Big Money In This City.
While the National League meeting was
in progress in New York last December, it
will be recalled that J. Earl Wagner met
James Manning and talked over the WASH
ingtOn situation.
Jimmy, you're good fellow said ].
Earl, "but you are up on loser in Wash
ington. That town won't support winner,
and l am the man who is aware of the
fact. Keep away from Washington and
save money"
This interview was sent out by a reliable
New York newspaper man, and when Mr..
Manning returned to Washington from the
league meeting he confirmed the story to
the sporting editor of The Evening Star.
This mornings Philadelphia Press prints
an interview with j. Earl Wagner which is
interesting chiefly, for its contradiction of
the words quoted above Mr. Wagner said:
Il am now out of base ball, and whether
go into it again or not can't say. / haven't
talked 1t over with my brother. but 1
wouldn't mind breaking into base ball again.
L like the game and for several years met
with success In the business, but they
couldn't drag me Into it unless 1t was with
a league that was operating under organ
lied base ball
with organized base ball there is a
chance to make money, while If there is a
fight there is no telling how much will be
lost. l was against the National League in
my brother and myself sunk a pile of
money Then l was with them for eight
years under organized base ball and we
made money. The same would hold true
now. ~
I'm 1880. during the brptherhood year we
lost $9S,OO0 by running a club in Philadel-
phia. In 81 we were with the American
Association and helped to fight the National
League. Again the National won out and
we only recovered some of our loss by SELL
ing out to the league for $5S.CS). With part
of that money we purchased the Washing
ton club, for low figure, as Mr.. Hewitt
had lost big sum Of money. Then we
were with the National League for eight
years. before selling out last spring for
$4,000 and In that time. instead of losing
money. we cleared up sci. 600.
nd take a chance in the game again nm
DER the right kind of conditions, but never
again with fight on hand It's too costly
an undertaking and, besides, unless YOU ar,
on the side of organised base ball, you are
certain to be a loser ~

order of the lower court, which had grant

THE GREATEST FIGHTER.
Mccoy Says FitzsimmOns Wins His
Battles With Brain.

nattlcs w TN
Kid Mccoy. who is having his own trou-
bles In his efforts to induce some of the
heavy weights to fight him, Is out with a
declaration that he will be present at the
ring side in Cincinnati on the night that
Jeffries and Rubin battle for the world s
championship, and will Issue a challenge to
fight the winner for 5000 side. In max
Ing this announcement Mccoy incidentally
throws few bouquets at Bob F1tzsimm ons
by declaring that Lanky Bob is the greatest
fighter in the world. In speaking of Fitz
Mccoy said:
Il believe that Bob Fitzsimmons without
a doubt. Is the greatest fighter that ever
stepped into ring. He does not rely on his
strength to do it, but when he engages in
battle he does a lot Of thinking. He is
naturally bright, and never loses his head
Take men like Jeffries, Rubin and Shar-
key. They secure a match and then begin
a long siege of training. Their sole aim Is
to harden their muscles for long, brusing
battle. In other words. they just train SO
as to get in condition to take the hard
knocks that they may be subjected to. These
fellows do very little thinking during
fight; in fact, they forget all about it when
they enter the ring.
MY mind Is always active when l am IN
a fight. l always try to deceive my cppo-

BOWLING LEAGUE.
CAROLS Defeat SaenEerbund In Well
PLAYED Game.

Played Game.
Twice last night the Carroll Institute
bowling team beat the strong-armed rollers
from the Saengerbund. The institute alleys
We're filed with spectators to see the games
and the teams fully realized the eXpecta-
tions of those present who had come to see
fine bowling by making an excellent series
of games The CAROLS each time rolled
above 500 and the Saengers were way up
in two of their games, though they almost
went to pieces in the closing game. The
games were of special interest. both teams
being champions Of other years and each
being a bidder for the trophy this season.
The result brings the two to tie follow
ing the Fat Men and Y. M. C. A., who are
tied for the lead This feature is a remind
er of last seasons games, when the various
teams stood at ties at almost every day.
The playing of the home team was decid-
edly creditable and every man the side
took part in the accomplishment of the
victories, though Livingston did not aver
age nearly so well as the others. Brosnan
again bowled in fine form and had the only
200 game In the match. There were some
good individual scores on the Saengers'
slate, but the games were rather IN and
out. none of the men playing continue
Ously good score.
The first game was one of the excellent
contests of the season. both teams playing
splendid score and but few breaks mar
ring the symmetry of the score slate. The
Carroll alleys have been the scene Of nu-
merous big scores of late and the Institute
came near passing 800 in this game. With
slightly better work in the second frame
this would easily have been accomplished.
The home team were virtually winners at
every point, though the rush of strikes by
Spiess in the latter half Of the game pulled
the Saengers closer up into the running.
The score follows:

PLANS A BIG FIGHT.
Dan Stuart to Match Jeffries and Fitz-
simmons at Carson City.


Dan Stuart arrived in Carson City, New,
Tuesday night, and announced that he
would match Jeffries and Fitzsimmons for
a championship fight to a finish. to take
place In that city in May or June.
He is present now to watch the state
legislature, but there is very little likeli-
hood of the law allowing finish fights being
repealed.
Stuart's announcement that he will match
the men he named Is made in the face of
the fact that Fitzsimmons has said he
would never fight again. The promoter
evidently has little faith in the declarations
of the old fighter, as he remembers that
Jeffries brought him from his retirement
once before and that chance at the cham
picnship may bring him into the ring again.
Stuart holds out an inducement that can
be offered by no one else, by which he ex-
poets to bring them together. His will be
a finish fight. Twenty rounds at Cincinnati
or anywhere else would not suit Fitzsim-
mons so long as there was a chance to go
to finish, and Stuart Is In Nevada to see
that the law permitting finish fights is not
repealed this year.
He appears to be confident Of his ability
To make the match and bring the tight of.
