until late in the evening there was a
steady run of callers willing and anx-

The directors really intended that the
opportunity was offered more particu-

unable to pay for the vaccination OF
the children, and while none We're
turned away on that score, they new

Farewell Sermon

The Drummer Evangelist" Rev. w.
II. Williams, preached his farewell SER
mon last night in the Methodist
church, taking for his text Phil. l.
27. He said conversion is that by which
we convey information to another. 1t
Is not what we say that speaks the
loudest, but what we do. Many of us
speak too many languages. one in
church and several when outside OF
the church. Let US as Christians try
and speak only one language and that
the language of Canaan. We touch
some one for good or bad every dav.
We can not go to heaven or he'll alone.
We are taking others with us.
The temptation will come for us to
step aside just once from the narrow
way mapped out by the Masters fnt
gers. Dare I take one drink of whist
key? No. One drink would snap the
communication between my soul and
God, for red liquor and the grace OF
God do not stay in the same hide at
the same time. Whiskey goes in, grace
goes out. Dare you attend one whist
party, one dance, tell one lie, defraud
your neighbor just once? When we
step aside just once we strike our
names from the role in the Lamb $
book of life.
Dare you go to sleep with the lights
of heaven intrusted to your hands, or
go into the fight with no arms or even
one piece laid aside?

CLEVELAND AND WHITNEY.
From Ainslce's Magazine.

From Ainslce's Magazine.
The remarkable thing about William
G.. Whitney is that his business career
began only after he left Washington
and when he was torty"five years oe
age. He has now done with politics,
apparently. In truth, he has never
been out of politics for a month OF
his life since he came to New York.
His influence with Richard Croker is
said to be as great as any that the
Prophet of Tammany Hall inclines TO:
and If, for any reason, it should hap
per that Whitney and Tammany Hall
came to daggers' points, the stock of
the Metropolitan Street railway would
be dropped like a hot potato, When
Whitney was appointed secretary OF
the navy, Tammany had no bitterer
foe than Grover Cleveland. Towards
the close of this administration 1t used
to ne said that the government was
under the control of Tdmmany Hall.
Cleveland is reported 20 have uttered
these words to Charles S. Fairchild:
Il am on to Whitney and his tricks
and ] don't want any more of him."
The methods of the men are dame
tricaly opposed. Cleveland hews his
way through opposition by main force,
topping over all that bars progress.
Whitney, on the contrary, builds "a
bridge over obstacles, or, more fre-
uuently, digs a tunnel under them and
suddenly reappears to view on the ad-
vantageous side. II is only natural
that Whitney should he subject 10
criticism. We have nothing but sus-
picion for strategy not our owp,
