Older Than the Chinese

Older even than China, the oldest
existing nation, are the cliff dwellings,
of southwestern United States, homes
of a race whose very name has per-
ished from the earth. Explorers, puz-
zling through the Mancos and Casa
Verde canyons of Arizona and New
Mexico, found the houses of this
strange people in the widest and most
inaccessible of the mountain sides.
Did the cliff dwellers antedate the
pyramids of Egypt? Were they of
blood relation to early Inhabitants of
the land where the Nile is god? Some
students are prepared to answer both
questions affirmatively and to give
what is to them abundant proof. The
pottery from their long wrecked homes
suggests Egypt, and the few inscrip-
tions found have similar suggestions.
Mummies, bodies wrapped In cloth,
feathers from the breast of turkey
have been dug from burial places
among the cliffs, and in bone and hair
much unlike the Indian of today there
is hint of resemblance to a more
oriental type. If the cliff dwellers left
any descendants, however remote, they
are doubtless the Mold and Zuni In
dams, who, resembling them in habits
and appearance, are their closest kins-
men-Chicago Chronicle.

oLD-TlM e SERMONS
Consisted of overgenerous Measures
of Oratory

From the New York Sun.
There is no doubt that a good many
sermons are dreadfully dull, writes
Bishop Weldon in the Nineteenth
Century. But it is an element in the
difficulty of preaching that c1ergymen,
in preparing and delivering their
sermons are practically debarred from
adopting some accepted oratorical
means. Thus, the use of humor in a
sermon is almost unknown within the
Church of England. Nonconformist
preachers, like the late Mr.. Spurgeon,
have sometimes employed humor in
their sermons with striking effect.
When he preached-if the story is
true-upon the Martyrs Memorial at
oxford, and asked where it was pos
sible to find martyrs at the present
day, and suggested that IL the bish-
ops and clergy of the Church of Eng
land were martyrs they would be sure
to burn we'll, they were so dry, he re-
sorted to a device which might or
might not be allowed and approved by
his own congregation, but would GER
tainly CRATE upon the critical taste Of
churchmen.
Time was when sermons, like
speeches, were subject to interruption,
as Chrysostoms were, for example,
at Constantinople; and the interrupt
ton, II 1t were disturbing, was en-
livening. There is, indeed, story
that Chrysostom once preached SER
mon against the practice of applaud
ing preachers by clapping OF hands
and stamping of feet, and that his
congregation received even that SER
mon with applause. But piety, or per-
haps decorum, has long since forbid
den the expression of approval or dis
sent in churches.
TT would he thought a strange thing
that anyone listening to a sermon
should cry, Hear! Heart" or mo!
mol" Such CALCULATIONS are wholly
undesirable they are fatal to rever-
ence. But the absence of them en-
hances the difficulty of preaching.
For when an audience gives no visi-
BILE or audible sign of of emotion how
can a speaker tell what the effect of
his words is, or whether they have
any effect at all? The secular speaker
knows more or less if he is in touch
with his hearers, but a preacher never
knows.
Thomas Boston, minister of the gos-
pei at Ettrick, in sermon on Fear
and Hope, Objects of the Divine Com
placency," after an Introduction in
four sections, deduced six doctrines,
each subdivided into from three to
eight heads; but the last doctrine re-
quired another sermon, which con-
tanned a practical Improvement of
the whole" arranged under eighty
six heads. A sermon on Matthew, XII
2S was sub divided into seventy
eight heads; on this text, indeed, Mr..
Boston preached four sermons.
A Scotch preacher not in the pres
ent degenerate age, has been known
to preach from five to six hours at
a stretch.

CREDIT MEN HOLD
THIRD ANNUAL BANQUET
Protection of Members From Fraudu-

Committee

The annual banquet of the Credit
Mems association of Los Angeles,
which has membership of sixty-one,
was given last evening at Levy's. 1t
was the third gathering of similar
character since the formation of the
association, and it proved to be fully as
enjoyable as those numbered with the
past.
President Frank Simpson, Treasurer
w. C. Patterson and Secretary w. o.
Mushet presented their reports, which
were discussed in turn. Reports were
also heard from the committee on
fraudulent creditors; the committee on
mercantile agency service and the COM
mittee on business literature. The cleo
ton of officers will be held at the reg
ular meeting to be held in February.

TOM sAWYER,s CAVE
A Guide Is Necessary to Enable Ono
to Find IL

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Few people know what big affair
Mark Twain's cave is that he mentions
in his books as the meeting place OF
Tom Sawyer's band of Juvenile rob-
bers," said c. H. Chadwick of Hanni-
bal, Mo. 1T is a real cave, and big
one, too. 1t is situated about two miles
down the river from Hannibal, Mr..
Clemens boyhood home. The house he
lived in in his youthful days is still
standing, by the way, and is visited by
all strangers who come to the town.
but the cave! That is one of the
curiosities of Missouri. Excursions are
run every summer from up and down
the river by steamers, and from the
country towns of Missouri, Iowa and
Illinois to the grove surrounding the
cave. Last summer a society of young
people held religious services in the
large room of the cave. This is called
the assembly hall and is nearly quar-
ter of a mile from the entrance at the
base of the hill 1t is large enough to
hold hundred persons, and you can
imagine how grewsome an effect
might be made upon some persons by
a religious service in the bowels of the
earth, with nothing in the way of a
light by a flickering candle or two, es-
pecially If the terrors of purgatory
should be dwelt on.
There are innumerable passageways
in its depths, and from the farthest
point one may return to the entrance
in a dozen different routes without
going into any of the others. There
are many queer formations and they
bear the names given in Tom Sawyer
There is a pool of crystal clear, ice
cold water, crocodile, an elephants
trunk and other formations. The pas
sages lead up and down, in and out
and across each other in a most bewil
dering way. Sometimes the way in is
so narrow that an ordinary sized per-
son can with difficulty squeeze through.
So many parties have been lost that
the entrance has been closed and no
one is allowed to go in without a
guide"

Dutch ouaIntness

Some of the quaintest things have
come from the land of Queen VIII
helmina.
There are ornamental Jugs uittle

rum was once smuggled from Holland
These are delights. as interesting now
as they are thrilling from the histor-

Old Dutch milk cans are also among
the clever things. These peculiarly

having been treated 10 feet, they serve
for jardinieres most effectively, While

From Ionrman's Magazine.
At the east corner Of Bolton street

still young, club devoted to dandy

Walters It's presiding genius or
perpetual president" WAS Beau Brum-
nell, famous for his cravats, his quar-
rel with the prince regent and his
phenomenal good luck at the then
fashionable game of macao. one
evening he found the gaming table so
full that there was no room for him,
but seated there was friend Of his
whom he knew to be too poor to play
for the extravagant stakes affected by
the habtues, and who probably would
not have been there at all but for the
rosy influence of a good dinner with
plenty Of good wine. After a word or
two the friends changed places. and
before long Brummell rose the richer
by ei500. This sum he faithfully
shared with his friend, saying, There,
Tom, 60 home and give your wife and
brats q supper, and play no more"
The action was kindly and the advice
good, and, though the words lacked
gilded. Tom was the handsome,
witty, spoiled son of Richard Brinsley
Sheridan. OF Tom it has been said
that he was endowed with all the wit
of his father, all the charm Of his
mother and the good looks of both.
Few men seem to have been more uni
versally liked, and when George Col
man wrote, "I love and esteem Tom
Sheridan heartily, and wish success
to any scheme in which he is inter-
ested," he only expressed a general
sentiment.
A few specimens of Toms wit have
been preserved none are better than
a reply to his foollshiy lnduigent
father when demonstrating with him
for some imprudence. The father
ended by saying: why, Tom, my
father would never have permitted me
to do such thing" Whereupon Tom
replied. in a tone of assumed indigna-
ton, "Sir, would you dream of COM
pairing your father to miner"

Loyal womensof Dixie
Land

Robert ~. Lee chapter, Daugh-
ters Of the Confederacy, celebrated the
birthday Of the hero Of the confederacy
last night at the Woman5s club house
with an entertainment composed Of
patriotic music and speeches, followed
by dance.
The president Of the ,chapter, Mrs.
p. f. Church. welcomed the guests and
set forth the object cd the gathering,
saying that It was in cummemoration
of the great leader Of the south.
Selections were given by an orches-
ira, followed by a uesding by Miss
Henrietta Dobinson, duet by Master
jamie overton and Miss Elizabeth
Bowers, vocal solo, ]. Leister Adams,
and mandolin solo, Miss Pipers.
A one-act play was given by the
students of the DobirSson School of
Dramatic Art, vocal solos were given
by Miss sellick, Miss Nellie McParin
Jamie Overton and John Cooke.
A piano solo was rendered by Miss
Olive Smith.
John w. MitchAll was introduced by
the president as the speaker Of the
evening and he gave an, account of the
life of Robert e. Lee.
In beginning his address the speaker
pointed to the picture of the hero
which had been placed on the platform
surrounded with a wreath of flowers
with background of red, white and
blue, in which the flag of the confed-
eracy was draped with. the stars and
stripes of the union.
ut has become an honored custom
to observe each year in some fitting
manner the day that marks the birth
Of the great and good men who in life
so lived that when the. summons came
they left behind them.a a record worthy
to be emulated. So tonight we are
here to do our part to preserve in holy
memory the great patriot and soldier,
Robert E. Lee.
"Since the Anglo-Saxon race has
been a factor in the worlds history
and it's warriors and captains have
fought, bled and died, the long ances-
trail line of the Lees has furnished
heroes for Times ineffaceable role of
honor. With William the Conqueror
came Launcelot Lee, and with him at
the battle of Hastings was begun the
military record of this famous family.
In the ranks of the crusaders fought
Lionel Lee in behalf of that holy
cause: and I remember being thrilled
with pride when I stood in the Tower
of London and viewed the armor worn
by this Lee when he followed Richard
the Lion-Hearted to Palestine. In
pendence the friend of Washington and
his trusted lieutenant was that gall
liant soldier, Lighthouse Harry Lee,
but it was in the unparalleled combat
of the ages, between the north and the
south, when in the forefront of the
heroic figures of that strife. stood al
most alone Robert e. Lee, who was
the elimination of the greatest of this
soldier family and no soldier in the
worlds history was ever moved by
purer motives. With his sword he
made his mark near the top of the
scroll that bears fame's record of the
worlds great commanders"
After the close of the program dane
ing and refreshments were enjoyed
while an orchestra played the old
southern airs.
