VOL. XIV. NO. 10. WHOLE NUMBER, 1887

WASHINGTON. March BIN this dis
course DIR. Talmage calls for a warm
friendship between those who preach the
gospel and those who make newspapers,
the spoken word and the printed word to
go side by side; text, Luke xvi, s, '"The
children Of this world are in their genera
ton wiser than the children of light"
Sacred stupidity and solemn incompe
tency and sanctified laziness are here
rebuked by Christ. lie says wOrldlings
are wider awake for opportunities than
are Christians. Men of the world grab
occasions, while Christian people let the
most valuable occasions drift by unim-
proved. That is the meaning of our Lord
when he says, "The children of this
world are in their generation wiser than
the children Of light"
A marked illustration Of the truth Of
that maxim is in the slowness Of the
Christian religion to take possession of
the secular printing press. The opportu-
nifty is open and has been for some time
open, but the ecclesiastical courts, and
the churches, and the ministers of reli-
gion are for the most part allowing the
golden opportunity to pass unimproyed.

The most remarkable draw ever
saw made at poker was in a Chicago
club one night" said a Chicago man.
There were FIVE of us in a little social
game. with a limit of S25 and all Jack
pots. A friend of mine whom | will
call Jones was dealing. l was first IN
der the guns and passed. as did also
the two men sitting next. The fifth
man-we will say his name was Brown
opened the pot for So. Jones didn't
have the shadow of a thing in his
hands, but he raised Brown $40, in
tending to stand pat and bluff it out.
Brown had three aces, and he came
back at Jones with $40 better.
Now, instead Of laying down. as a
wise man should in a case like that,
Jones determined to see It through. He
knew. OF course, that it would be use
less to try to bluff. so he drew three
cards to a king and queen of spades.
/ Brown had drawn two cards to his
aces and had got a small pair AS a
bait he led Off the betting with S.
Jones hadn't looked at his hand until
Brown bet. and when he picked up his
cards he almost fell dead. He had
drawn an ace, jack and ten Of spades
making a royal flush. They raised eacl
other back and forth until one or the
other had all his money in. and wheI
the hands were shown the game brOk,
up right there. "-Washington Post.

Meet OF American wheeImen.

At the annual meeting of the Nation
al Assembly of the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen held recently in Phiia-
delphia the invitation of Mayor Diehl
to hold the annual summer meet of the
League in Buffalo was accepted unani-
mously.
This action on the part of the gov
erning body Of the l.. A. w. meets
with the hearty approval of the entire
membership OF that organization.
For this reason the biggest meet In
the history of the League will be that
held in Buffalo during the week COM
mencing Aug. II.
Aside from the attractions of the L..
A w. meet there are many induce
ments which will cause cyclists to visit
Buffalo at that time, among others the
central location OF the city, within easy
touring distance Of all the principal
cities OF the Eastern and Middle
States and Canada, the cheap railroad
fares. the desire on the part of all
wheelmen to visit the PanAmerican
Exposition and Niagara Falls and the
fact that week of International cycle
racing is to be given on the specially
constructed quarter mile track in the
magnificent Stadium on the Exposition
grounds.
II is believed that there will be not
less than 10000 visiting wheelmen in
Buffalo during the week Of the meet.

THE BEAUTIFUL ORIENT.
II Is One of the Midwny's Interesting
Attractions.

II Is One of the Midwny's Interesting
Attractions.
Nearly 100000 will be required to
! construct and equip the wonderful
Midway at the Pan-American EXPOSE
ton. The greatest care has been taken
to prevent any approach toward the
fake show, and the visitor may rest
assured that he will not be submitted
to fraud or eXtortlon so long as he re-
mains upon the Exposition grounds. 1t
IS difficult to single out any attraction
In this section as more prominent or
worthy than another, for all have their
special merit and novelty.
The Beautiful Orient will represent
life as it existed in the East before
the advent of the modern tourist.
CASTOR Akoun, director Of this conces-
sion, is arranging to have native repre-
sentative characters to convey proper
impressions OF oriental customs and
manners Of living. He will have plenty
OF room in which to display the differ
ent salient features that would appeal
I'm the strongest terms to people ac-
customed to our western civilization.
A holy Mecca will be the meeting place
OF tired and worn pilgrims who will
constantly arrive, make their offer
ings in the various mosques or reli-
gious temples and dispense. Eight
streets will diverge from this objective
point, each representing a distinctive
local section OF the orient. A street
in Constantinople will be thoroughly
Turkish, even to the vagabond dogs.
Morocco will be represented by
street which will illustrate the life and
habits OF the Moors. Algerian life will
receive attention. and a street viii be
borrowed from Algiers for the pur-
pose. Typical illustrations in a like
manner will be taken from Egypt,
Tunis, Persia, Tripoll and Turkey in
Asia. While looking through these
sections visitors could easily imagine
themselves in the midst OF the ancient
city the counterpart OF which they are
visiting.
A Bedouin Arab encampment will
lend variety, and Sahara Desert no.
MAIDS will live in their interesting char
acteristic way. Natives from all coun-
tries will live on the grounds with their
camels and different domestic oriental
animals. cabins, tents and huts. Res
taurants, tea houses, shops and fruit
stands for the sale OF oriental goods OF
great variety will be provided. The
Beautiful Orient is under the same
management as the Streets OF Cairo.
which was so popular at the Worlds
Fair. though It will be three times as
large. About 300 orientals win be en-
pIoyed in different ways with this at
traction. a conglomerate eastern city
with distinct local features-a history
