TO ES, Fate of a Band Which Visited a Chinese Village. Surprised and Shot While in Their Junks. THEIR HEARTS CUT OUT, Cooked and Eaten by the Eloodthlrsty Savages. Close of the Testimony ln the Panama Cases. The Advocate-General Denounces Charles tie Lester and Draws it Picture ot the Misery Caused in France by the I'anania Scandal The Vatican and the French liepublic. Sax Francisco, March 15. Tho steamship. City of Itio Do Janeiro, arrived today from Yokohama and Hong Kong. A Yokohama paper print the following account of the extermination of a band of pirates in a Chinese village last January. On the loth of January lagt two piratical crafts having ran Into one of the numerous inlets in the vicinity of the city of Shehpu, called Fan-Tu, for shelter. Some of the pirates landed ostensibly for tho purpose of making a few purchases, but most likely to see whether any "business couid be done in their particular calling." Probably the ruifunj thought that they andthoir junks were suliicient'y disguised, and so thought that by merely informing the shops at which they called that they were traders -a ho had run in for temporary shelter, they could allay suspicions concerning their real caKing. 13at, a Fan Tu had eulfere 1 repeatedly from depredations of the numerous sea pirates, and had lest soma of their number at the hands of the desperadoes, it so happened that some of the pirates who landed that iay were recognized by the inhabitants, who. however, held their tongues while ihs pirates were in tight. No eooner had he men returned to their junks than tho tlarm was silently given und tho principal men of the village ca led upon two brothers. wh were oiluers belonging to ane cf the regimer.ta garrieonng at initio. At a consu.tation he.d the brothers were asked to luad a body of their fellow villager, who had determined to wreak summary vengeance on the unwelcome visitors. Accordingly 3C0 well-armed men surprised tho pirates during the raging of the storm in the early hours of the morning. The two pirato junks were surrounded. In another minute the two junks swarmed with the 3ark figures of the villagers who, amidst '.he shouts of their comrades on the ihore, burst open the hatch and doors of the cabins and poured a stream of bullets apon the lifty or sixty pirates who were huddle 1 together for warmth on the lower deck? of the junks. Thoroughly taken by surprise hardly any resistance was made, all the pirates but two being almost hacked into mince-meat by the exasperated villagers who had sul!ered so often before from pirates. The two pirates who were not treated this way. however, were made away with in a different manner, It seemed that among the many villagers who had been killed by the pirates on different occasions there happened to be one who was a son of the patriarch of the village, and at daylight the two pirates, escorted by the whole community, were led to the grave ot the young man, and, after being secured to a couple of stakes put up for the purpose, two of the nearest relatives of the dead mau pluuged their knives into the brea-ts of the uniuckv pirate., and. ripping open their bodies, extricated their hearts, which then put smoking hot ou a plate and placed on the table, upon which were already lighted caudles and an incense burner. While all this wa3 going on the female relativi-a of the deceased dree.-ed iu mourning colors of white, were gathered by the side of the grave, crying and calling out to the spirit of the dead to receive the sacrilice that was being olfered as vengeame had been taken on his murderers. The offerings were then left at the gravo at the end of the ghastly Ceremonies and the viilagt-rs proce ede 1 to raueack the jnnke after having lirst thrown the bodies overboard into the the f-ea. The plunder from the junk. gold, silver, cash and silks, satin and rice, was then equally divided among tho families who had ever suffered at the hands of the pirates previously and as a finale of the last act of the tragedy, the junks were towed into tho stream and set on fire and burned to the water's ede The bodies of the two victims of the sacrifice were a so thrown into the sea while their hearts were afterward rmaed and eaten by the dead man's relatives. DENOUNCE DE LESSEPS. Close of the Testimony in the Panama Trial nt 1'arU. Paris, March 15. There was but a mall attendance today at the trial of Charles de Lesseps and his Mlow-defeni-ants in the assize courts. Public interest appeared to have waned with the clot-e of the testimony in tho case. M. Lezasse contended thnt tho government had shrunk from proceeding. against all the o.'Ten ders cencerned in the case and he argued vehemently that the scandal could not cease until the whole truth would be revealed. M. LoumtUs spoke in a similar tone. The advocate-general delivered an earnest address in behalf of the prosecution. He maintained that the government had done tho bet it could to bring everything to light, and he deDonnced Charles do Lesseps aa having used artifices to throw dust in the eye of the jury in a eirnhar manner to his use of artifice to obtain subscribers to the Panama. lottery bonds. The advocate-general contended that the evidence confirmed the guilt of the defendants. Continuing, the advocate-general made a somewhat extended reference to M. Freycinet. Fioquet and Cl-menceau and their allied connection with the scandal, defending the course the had cursoei

DEATH

and justifying the advice they gave Charles de Leasers to comply with the demands niade upon him rather than to beco:ne involved in a law suit with Baron de lleinach. He maintained that the charges made by Charles da I.eseps that M. Fioquet had demanded money ifrora him was untrue. The younger de Lesseps stood before the jury and before the country as a financier of evil omen who had drained the savings of thousands of French citizens. Aftor scathingly denouncing Charles de Lesseps as a man who had "besiaged with bribes and promises the consciences of public men, the ai-vocate-veneral closed his address with a graphic descriütion of the poverty, mijerv and general nrn which tho Panama directors had brought bv their dishonesty to thousands of homes throughout France. The court then adjourned. The Vatican n ! KraTiee. Home, March 10. Serious friction is threatened between the Vatican and Francein regard to the appointment ot a primate in Africa to succeed the late Cardinal Lavigerie. The pope demands that France shall provide the primate with a fixed allowance for his maintenance and to this the French government objects. The poi e, therefore, hold that if the primate is to look to the church for support the church should not eubmit to dictation or interference as to the appointment and tho pope has intimated that he may nominate an Italian for the office. In such an event a serious conflict will surely result, as Franco would decidedly object to having an Italian primate over catholics, the largo majority of whom are either French or the subjects of France. The German Army Hill. Berlin, March 15. Discussion of the probability of the dissolution of the reichetag is becoming general. The Kruczc Zritimg today expresses the opinion that in view of the government's determination to pass the bill without alterations, an appeal to the country has become inevitable and urges the conservatives to prepare their organization for a general election. Several radical journals take a similar view of the situation In some quarter- the conviction exists that a cabinet crisis is at hand. Everything points, however, to Chancellor Von Caprivi's retention of his post. MAY IMPEACH THEM

Action of the Nebraska Ifnnsa In the Penitentiary Scandal. Omaha, March 15. In the lower house at Lincoln today the report of tho investigating committee which unearthed tho frauds in connection with tho penitentiary management was ordered incorporated in the house journal. This action, was followed by the following rceolution : Whereas, ThU legislature ha appointed several committees tu examine into ths accounts, expenditures and oth-r important leatures of our several Mate institutions; and Whereas, These several committees have performed their dut:es and have submitted their reports; and Whereas, The house of representatives has accepted and adopted said report: and, Whereas, Said reports show several of our tat and ex-state oihcnals-are puiliy of gross seghtretioe aod dereliolion of duty oi such magnitude as to warrdtit prosecution under the provisions of the constitution and statutes for impeachment; therefore be it llesolved, That a committee of five be appointed by the speaker, whosa duty it shall b lo immediately prep t such resolutions ou 1 takj suo'.i other steps a may be proper for the purpose of instituting proceedines of impeachment against all tat- otn:ali and ex-stats o.'licia's shown by said report to be guilty of mslfeassne or negligence sufficient to warrant prosecuting; and be it further KetolveU.

This resolution waa laid over one day under the rules. Tonight there was great hustling among the friends o! the accused officers of the liste who are Secretary of State Allen, AttQrnty-Gen.eral Hastings and Commissioner of Public Lands Humphrey und every ellort was made to arrange to defeat the resolution when it comes up tomorrow. A hotfig.ht is promised and the result is very uncertain, although iu peachment proceedings will probably be commenced. MAY BANKRUPT INGALLS. Failure of the Ivansas Trust and Bank ing Company of Kansas City. ATcnisoN-, Kas., March 14. A een?ation was created in Atchison last eight when Freiing Tufts of Kansas City. Mo., appeared and took possession of the Kansas trust and banking company of this city as receiver. The company was organized in lfeü with a capit.il of lCO.COO. Ex-Senator John J. Ingaüs is president of the concern, K. M. Mauley is vice-president and and general manager, and E. G. Armsby cashier. The principal part of the capital invested was furnished by K. M. Manley and members of his famiiv and Mr. Ingaih". The latter had 57,500 in the company, while Armabv had $i.'0.0U0. Theao amounts are lost. The liabilities of the company are estimated at about $3(X),000 and the assets are sufficient, it iseaid. to pay the entire indebtedness, if the business of the concern is eottled up in a wie and prudent manner. The concern owns about 30,01)0 acres cf land throughout many of the principal cities of the etate. 1 Residents of Atchison had 5125,000 invested in the concern, which is secured by debenture bonds, the value of which is a matter of conjecture. E. O. Armsby recently announced his intention of withdrawing from the concern and engaging in other business, and it is said that this hastened the crash. Manley ia practically a bankrupt. John 3.

THIRTY-TWO DAYS OVERDUE.

The Naronic May Have Struck an Iceberzand Gone to the Bottom. New Yomt, March 13. Tho White Star line twin screw freighter Naronic has been out just thirty-two days from Liverpool without being seen or heard of, and the agents in this city admitted this afternoon that they have given her up as loet. "We etiil hope that she may be safe," said the local mancger of the line, ''but it does not look as if she is afloat, for almost every part of tho Atlantic hat been traversed by steamers or Failing vessels, and she would in nil probability have been eizhted if ehe had been afloat. The idea that ehe u in the ewirl of the Saragoesa soa Is rather far fetched and it is not probable, as she would be controlled in her movements entirely by the prevailing winds." The latest news from Fayal, the chief sea port of the Azores, which was reached from London by way of Lisbon yesterday, undoubtedly caused the White" Star people to give up the Naronic. Her fate will in all probability pass into maritime history as one of the unsolved mysterieB of the ocean. All that now remains to be done before the Naronic is forgotten is the settlement oi the claims for insurance against tho underwriters. It is said that tha underwriters have orered to settle with several policyholders who owned merchandise on the Naronic on the basis of a large discount, which oilers were refuaud, bo certain were the owners oi the Naronic'e careo that ehe has been loet. The time for Battlement, it was said in the White Star office, was sixty days, aud the underwriters have therefore till April 13 be foredemands can be made upon them. Tholat rate of insurance quoted by the London and Liverpool underwriters was 80 guineas per cent. If it should be possible that tho Naronic is still afloat and drifting far to the south, her crew and passengers numbering sixtyßix in all, have not suilercd from want as yet for she was well provisioned and had a enificient quantity of canned and fresh food in stores and carjr) to last for three months. Among shipping men on the maritime exchange the general opinion is, thatjthe Naronic ran into a heavy field of ice or into an iceberg, and sunk before a boat could be lowerod carrying every vestige of her down to the bottom of the ocean. SEIZED SEVEN TRUNKS. Women Ileturning from Europe Accused o'" ISmugKÜu;;. New Youk, March 15. Jvjven trunks were seized by custom house ollicers tonight which arrived on the Saale.

Tue St. Louis dressmaker referred to in the New York dUpatch anuouticing the seizure of oorno trunks by custom house ollicers is Miss M. E. Ward of Uiive st. Iltr bitter. Miss Rose Ward, was in quite an indignant frame of mind when a reporter saw her tonight. "My sister is not a smuggler, and it is outrageous that she should be accused of such a thinur," said si e. When my sister left here to go to Europe ehe too It the Big Four road and was on the train which met with the accident at a place near Alton, lib All her clothes were burned with the baggage car. She continued on her journey, however, and when she reached Paris had a new outfit made. This is the wardrobe which is in the trunk that has been seized. It was absolutely necessary that ehe should get eomo clothing made to wear, as she had none left when she reached Europa. All the goods which ehe bought for our trade and which were dutiable arrived here last Monday, the custom charges on thera being paid by her. My sister krave ooth Bangor, Me., and St. Louis as her address in tins way: She was going ditect to liangor to visit our brrthar there aud to bring to St. Louis with her our niece. St. Louis is. of conrse. our home. The statement that she refused to tell where she beiongei must be a mistake ns tl.e could have no object in concealing it." EXHIBITS AT THE FAIR.

L. B. M'WHIRTER'S MURDER

ARREST OF YOUNG HEATH AT SAN FRANCISCO FOR THE CRIME. Theory That the Man IVaa Murdered by 3IIs. take, the Assasin Intending to Kill Joseph K. Baker A TrngeOy Which Caused Great Excitement In California. San Fxiancisco, March 14. Richard Heath, son of the late Gen. Heath of this city, was arrested here last night for the murder of Louia B. McWhirter in Fresno last Auguet. Frederick W. Polley, now in jail in Fresno for vagrancy, was also charged with the same crime. McWhirter was a lawyer and took a prominent part in the politics of that city. He was violently opposed to certain men in that town and had many enemies. His lifo had : been threatened and on that account he 1 took out life insurance policies amounting to $t0,000. About 3 in the morning of Aug. 29 last, McWhirter was aroused by noises in the back yard. He went partially dressed and revolver in hand to investigate. Less than a minute from the time he left the hou-;e his wife heard a succession of pistol shots, and rushing out found her husband dead with a bullet in his heart. Near him was found a revolver and two heavy clubs, indicating that there were two assassins. McWhirtor'a friends believed he was the victim of a political plot, while others, including the insurance companies, faid he bad commuted suicide, and the insurance companies refused to pay the insurance on McWhirter'u life. The murder caused a great sensation throughout the etate, but no projress was made in discovering the murderers. Heath was arrested last evening and when an oiHcer told him he was wanted on a charge of murder he asked: "Fresno?" The officer answered "yes" and Heath 8aid: "I have been expecting this but I thought the thing had blown over." Heath then declared ho could prove an alibi and that he could prove by the clerk of the Grand Central hotel at Fresno that he went to bed at 11 o'clock on the night of Aug. 2 and that he was asleep in his room at the time McWhirter ws kiiled. Heath eays he was McWhirter' friend and ! the theory ia that McWhirter was kibed by mi-take. Among tho murdered lawyer's firm friends was Joseph E. Baker, a well known newspaper writ f. who was brought down to Fresno by McWhirter to conduct the Fresno Exvottr in the interests of his faction of tho democratic parly. Baker made many enemies by his writing, among them Heath. The latter resented pt.itcmcuta minie in his presence bv Baker conctrniue State Senator Goucher, and in alight which ensued waa badly whipped by B.iki?r. Heath swore he would kill Paker and hunted for him tho next day with a revolver, but did not find the newspaper man. Heath swore vengeance, but got no opportunity to get even. AboJt this time McWhirter went to tho mountains with his wife, and Bator occupied his , house during his absence. About a week before the murder McWhirter returned, and Baker left. Heath waa working on the Curtis ranch near Fresno and did not know McWhirter bad returned. The theory is that Heath went to McWhirter' e bouse, thinking Baker was there, intendinc to kil him. Instead, however, McWhirter rushed out, revolver in hand, aud Heath shot the man whom he called his best friend. The fact that Heath had been arrested hero was not generally known until this morning, as Heath was taken immediately over to Oakland and pat ou a train for Fresno, where he arrived last night. Heath had just come over to the city from Los Gato, wher he has been taking the Keely cure. lie is weil known in San Francisco, where he has friends and relatives of high standing. Crittenden Thornton, Mrs. McWhirter's attorney, said he was not surprised at the arrest of Heath and Polley. He eaid: "These men are but cat's paws of others more poweriui, and I expect to tee political and financial reputation in that state shattered in a very short time." flrent Excltt nient at Frt no. Fmrsxo, Cal., March 14. This city is greatly excited at the news of the arrest of McWhirter's murderers. The arrest of Heath in San Francisco was a great surprise, though he had long been suspected. The grand jury is now in session here and it is understood will return indictments acainst Heath and Polley. It ia believed Hath will plead insanity as a defense. The name of a third man to be arrested Is not known, but it is btatod he will be caught before morning. FOR MAYOR OF CHICAGO. Samuel A'.lerton Nominated, by Republican and People's Parties. Chicago, March 13. Samuel Allerton, the big packing house proprietor, waa nominated for world's fair mayor cf Chicago this morning by tho republicans. The nomination was by acclamation. Mr. Allerton had already received a nomination in mass by the people's party. The democratic nominee is ex-Mayor Carter Harrison. The threatened defection of the Germans from tho democracy in large numbers under the leadership of Washington lieaing of the Staais-Z itung adds interest to the contest, tho Germans having been prominent in the movement which gave Illinois to the democrats in the recent national election.

FATAL CHICAGO FIRE. Five Foreoue tlurled by Falling Walls Two Killed. CniCAGO, March 15. Shortly before 3 o'clock thia morning Are started in J. Ü. Carter's picture frame factor', at 124 and 12G May-at. The building" was a brick structure, 150 by 125 feet, and five 6tories in bight. It was well stocked with picture frames and material, and equipped with valuable special design machinery. The flames made such rapid progress that a dozen steamers were summoned to the scene. A short time after the fire started the top of the south wall fell in on tho roof of Stephen Carter's residence, at 120 May-st., adjoining the factory. The budding coliai sed, burying five" people. They were S. J. Chartier. uncle of Stephen Carter; Mrs. Etienno Chartier, his wife ; Kose Chartier, ten years of age; Lillie Chartier, twelve years of age. The dead bodies of S. J. Chartier and Lillie Chartier were recovered this morning. Stephen Carter will probably die. Tho four other injured victims will recover. The flames, which started in the rear of the nrst storv, gained rapid headwav be fore the first stream of water was thrown. Crowded into the large store-rooms was a vast ttcck of dry materials used in the manufacture of frames and mouldings, and this dry and combustible etulF made the access of the fire to the upper btories easy. The floors and inside wall were weakened by the burning of their frumo snpport, and the fireman who were at work on the building became alarmed lest a portiou of it might fall. A portion of the roof fell firnt. but no firemen were at work on the fifth floor, they having previously been ordered down. Crashing down, it carried with it groat sections of flooring, thus weakening the joists that supported the south wail. This began to totter and eoon the top fell. The in a is of brick fell entirely upon the roof of Mr. Carter's dwelling, which was a frame structure. This waa completely and instantly demolished, and in the ruins were the bodies of five people who had been sleeping there. Ihe hre had been burning but a short time and Mr. Carter h.'.d returned to tho home to awaken those who were there. Almost pimultaneouaiy with the collapse of the Carter residence a part of the front wall fell into the street. A number of firemen were at work at the base of the factory, and already scores cf people, attracted by the reflection of the flames, had begun to crowd dope to the burning building. When the front wad fell they were driven back and not a few narrowly escaped iu jury. Ono fireman was struck by the falling brick and was taken to his home in an ambulance. But tho firemen and police at once began to dirtct their attention to rescuing those known to hüve bütn buried nnder the Carter residence. An opening through the ruins waa soon made, leading into the basement. The cries of a man were heard, and in another moment Mr. Curter was lifted out. He was in a semi-conscious condition, for in addition to his broken leg he was bnrily bruised about the bead and body, eoon, however, he revived, and was takon to the resilience of friends. The work cf rescue was kept up, notwithstanding a portiou of the wall still standing was tot'.ering, and threatened to collanee and bury the firemen. By degrees the great mass of bricks and mortar was cleared away, and a few minutes later Pose Chartitr was taken out. Her face and head were badly cut and bruised and her left arm broken. She will recover. Later Mrs. Chartier was recovered, her life having" been miraculouslv saved by a heavy door that covered her. She. however, received several severe bruU8 and was badly cut about the face. Mrs. Chartier waa not able to tell whether or not her husband and daughter Lillie had been killed. "I had been aroused by knocks at the door," she said, "and had begun to dress when the wall fell. I do not remember anything else." The nicture-fratne iactory building was valued at $10,000 and the stork was worth $.10,000, and were totally destroyed by' the flames. The origin of the fire is unknown. The dead bodies of ?. J. Chartier and Lillie Chartier were recovered during the day. Stephen Carter will probably die. The four other injured victims will recover. Three Children Probably Fatally llurned. IIolton, Kas., March 15. The house of Benjamin Fieieher, who lives in the southwestern part of Jackson county, was totally destroyed by fire. His three children were probably fatally burned. In endeavoring to rescue them Mr. Fletcher's hands and arms were almost burned to a crisp. MURDERED HIS EMPLOYER. F W. Gallln and Mrs. Shaw Arrested for the Cowardly Crime. Portland, Ore., March 15. A. W. Shaw, a wealthy rancher of Grant county, Oregon, was recently found dead in a stall in which a stallion was tied. The man's skull waa fractured and it was supposed that he had been kicked to death by the stallion. The body was found by one F. W. Gallin, the hired man of the Shaw household. An inquest was held and upon the testimony of Gallin and Mrs. Shaw a verdict of accidental death was rendered. Facta developed yesterday, however, which implicate Gallin and Mrs. Shaw in the man's death and both were arrested on a charge of murder. Suspicion was firet aroused by Gallin immediately taking Shaw's place at his bed and board, whereupon the authorities determined to make a full investigation into the manner of Shaw's death. The blood etained floor of the barn, which had bean covered with hay, proved conclusively that Shaw had been killed in another part of the barn and carried to the stell whore the body was found. It is believed that Gadin murdered his employer at the instigation of Mrs. Shaw. Both are now in jail, being held without bonds. Agents make big money selling Tns Sentinel Almanas for 181j3.

GREAT BROOKLYN DIVINE.

OR. TALMAGE GIVES ONE OF HIS EXCELLENT TALKS. "The School of Scandal" Delivered liefere j A Cargo and Enthusiastic Audience In an Interview Ir. Talmage Declares Kuiphatically That He Has "o Intention cf IXestsuiug Ills Pastorate. The Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmago lectured at Tom.inson hall Wednesday night delivering his famous lecture "The School of Scandal." The ball was well filled with an appreciative audience and applauto was liberal. Dr. Talmago wa3 in one of hia best moods and warmed to the occasion with the growth of his subject until the closing sentences wrought the audience up to such a pitch of enthusiasm that they did cot realize that he was done and sat for some moments while he was bowing hia acknowledgments and walking backward toward his seat. In thia lecture it would seem that the attempt has been made to group a series of contrasts, for one is moved first to tears, then to laughter and again to tears without realizing what has been going on. The differences expressed and implied are such that one's very heart is moved insensibly and varying emotions sweep over one like waves on the ocean. The lecture may be said to ba aimed at the abuse ot tattling and tale-bearing, and the characterizations of the female and the male goesip were ecathing in their intensity. It seemed almost impossible to find words sufficiently strong to express the utter horror and contempt the speaker felt. He eaid that only one tattler was worse than a female tattler a male tattler. He declared that the gossip, the derogetory talk about one's neighbors, was worse than assassination. It would be better to go down the Etreet burning the houses and cutting the throats of those you meet. He ascribed nine-tenths of all the business failures to the male gossip. "A man gets into difficulties. The gossip begins to hint that he is in trouble. He borrows money at tho bank and a director tei!s everybody ho dares. He sells bis carriages to help tide him over. Some ono whispers 'I knew he'd never get over it,' and the impression gets abroad that his business affairs are in a bad condition, and eoon he pots down crash, crash, crash, crash when a little charity, a little disposition to do so, would have heipod him over his hard place. Stabbing Clinracter. "Then the whisperer stabs the character of a woman, and many a noble, pure woman has been whispered out of good society ; whispered about until her heart was broken and whispered into her grave literally killed by these infernal scandalmongers - - - ''Some people eay there is co hell. There can be no hell bad enough for this infernal gang of whisperers, who will spend all their time in the other world by running to the gates, when a newcomer arrives, and asking what the latest go.ssip is down below or up above. That will be hell enough." His description of a lie was powerful. He called it longer than any reptile that ever inhabited the earth during the saurian age, taller than any mammoth that found a home here during the mammalian age and more powerful and swift than any bird that has winged the air eince the planet was created. Once Bet on its travels it never stops destroying, never stops its infernal work of injury, but always presses forward. It is swifter than the express train, and seven league boots are unnecessary for its locomotion. No matter where you may go it will always be ahead of you, and no matter where you hide it will always find you. But it will at last come back to rest on one's own head, and one most finally euder the consequences of one's foolish and injurious utterances agaiust friend or foe. A considerable portion of the lecture was devoted to the influences of heredity in determining the lifo of a child. "Some men are good becauee they can't fcelp it. Their blood is go ;d. They have generations of mothers in Israel behind them. Their fathers have kept tho law. It is no great credit to them if they are cood. They oufcht to be and can't be any other way if they try, unless they deliberately peek a criminal life. Oa tho other hand there are those whosa very blood is tainted with criminality. They know nothing but wickedness and criminal doings from the time they can crawl on the lioor until they find themselves behind the bars of the penitentiary. If euch a man as that breaks away from his environments and becomes a good citizen, he deserves more credit for it than any ten of the others. What is bred in the bone will develop sooner or later, and if the man enn conquer his inborn propensities he enould be accorded every encouragement in doing so. Nearest the Throne. "I have been asked a good many times who will sit nearest tho throae in heaven. I can't answer that, but I think it will be he who was tempted and has withstood the temptation, he who has risen above his birthright of sin and crime and has been as good a man as bin heredity would allow biin to be. Some of them, even after they fall, do so only after they have withstood more temptation than hundreds of men together ever felt. They should be pitied and not criticised. They havedone as well as circumstances permitted and are deserving of the greatest praise." The lecture continued with tho most burning invectives against slander the language Is capable ot producing. Every word that could convey the meaning of horror and terror was dragged in and made to do duty. Every ono was arraizned for any action of that kind they might have been guilty of in the past, and. as a climax was reached, one of those sudden pauses would come which give uch a striking effect to the discourses of Br. Talmago, and one would hardly know whether to iauuli or feel ead. Story after story followed in quick succession, some pathetic, some full of courage, some illustration of tho widespread Injury resulting from lies and from scandal. As the poiats werebroughtouta wave of applause would roll over the hall aud then all would be silent again. In some of the passages tho power of the orator was shown in the stillness with which his listeners heard him. In the sudden pauses there would

be no sound save the labored breathina of some of those whose emotions had been deeply touched. A Dramatic Close. The closing was dramatic. It was a description of the battle of Waterloo as it was described to him by a guide on the field, the guide being a son ot one of tha survivors of the fight and getting bis information direct from bis father, who had described the battle minutely to the son numberless times. From the vantage ground of a knoll the dillerent positions of the armies were pointed out, and so vividly that one could almost f-ee the long lines of the French and Knglish cuds and the men lying on their arms or in the thick of the conflict 0.ie coald pee the ravine of Ohain, with the thousands of dead and dying horsemen and their Lories. He could hear the grcans, which continued for three days, or until the ditch was filled with earth to kill the stench. Then the description of the broken-hearted Napoleon, the man of destiny, whose star had set, was such as imagination has oftenest made him pale, dejected, insane by the results of the fight. The future of centuries hung in the balance that day and Napoleon was defeated. The close was a characterization of life as a Waterloo. A Waterloo in which all must fight and some mu&t be defeated. "The icsue depends wholly upon the reinforcements. If they come in time we are saved. If thev do not, defeat is certain and eure and final"

DR. TALMAGE INTERVIEWED. He Says He Has No Intention of Resigning. Dr. Talmage was seen at the Denison Wednesday by a Sentinel reporter and asked for a short interview. He is a very genial man and the interview was readily granted. He was looking his best and did not ce cm to be fatigued after his effort cf lecturing two hours. ' How did your audience please you?" "It was a good one and very genial, as all Indianapolis audiences are. I always like to come here, as I am so well received. In fact it is tho same in all the cities around here. The people of Indiana are very appreciative and pleasant and I always like to come this way. You are on The Sentinel? Does the paper still publish my sermons?" He was told that it did, esteeming them. 4 valuable feature each week. "1 think it must be at least fifteen years since they bean," aid he. "I used to know the editor-in-chiof who was in control ten years or so ago. I visited him in his oilice once and have always cherished pleasant memories of the paper since." He spoke appreciatively cf other gentlemen with whom he had become acquainted in this city during former visits and seemed much pleased to learn that soma of them were doing so well in the world. A rumor has been flying around the preps to the effect that Dr. Talmape would resign irom his pastorate if the church did not pay him a salary this year. For threo years he has had no salary, which, at 10,000 a year, means a loss of $10,000. The question was ventured as delicately as possible. The reply was very emphatic. "No, I have no such intention. I shall stay by them as long as I can. I have not the remotest intention of resigning aod the publication of the stcrv is a falsehood." Dr. Talmage glanced nervously at tha clock and sail: "I must go to my room and eat my usual dish of crackers and milk. I le&ve for Chicago at 11 o'clock and it ia fast nearingthat time. I should be pleased to talk with you longer but I really haven't time. Now, you must excuse me, eure. I never make it a practice to express any views which can possibly be construed as a criticism on what some one elre may be doing. 1 must bid you good r.uht and eay that I am glad to have met you." THE LATE LAMENTED. A Republican View, drecaibura lisTicw rep. The Indiana legislature, which adjourned without day on Monday, will go down into history as the most incompetent body that ever disgraced the state, and this" id putting it pretty strong. With a powerful majority the democrats stubbornly refu3ed to take advantage of the opportunities at hand for the betterment of the people, but on the contrary devoted themselves to enacting laws the vicious partisanship of which outranks anything in the annals or history. The people's money lias been squandered, u?ele?s doorkeepers and other employes have been paid cut of the pubdc treasury, the appropriations have been greatly increased, reckless extravagance has run riot, end the wishes of the people have been ignored. Such, in brief, ia the record of the last Iudiana democratic legislature. A Stieres! nl Farce. fvTahssh Tinin. The Timrs believes that the legislature which has juist "adjourned ha been a suc-ci'f-'sful farce, and nothing more. There is no use fepeaking in nl.unng phrases and honeyed words concerning that body's actions during the past sixty days. Not one einöle ut can be pointed out that will nid the people iu liuaucial or social wiy. The cession has been fruitless of wholesomo legislation. On the other Land it has made some laws that are a disgrace to the etate end an abBoluto detriment to the peopl of the state. Democratic legislatures have not all been as worthless as the last one. The best laws on the Indinua statutes have been placed there by democrats. Let the people pray for a deliverance from a repetition of the scenes which have taken place in the state bouse this winter. Not Worth the Cost, t'iy mouth lmocTt. "With only eufficient time to formulatl, judiciously consider and pap, fifty or eixty bills much needed, modifying existing Jaws, repealing a few and providing a few new safeguards, nearly a thousand bil s were introduced; the time waa frittered away In the unless effort of individuals to secure precedence of individual bills not of public or pressing importance, and in prolonged and profitless discussion. Kt an expense of about $120,00-3 the results of its labors need some careful scrutiny to discover that they are worth the mere money cost, to say nothing of other more valuable considerations. 3Iale No lteeord. D lpht Tiro a The Indiana legislature has adjourned and it is doubtful if it has accomplished anything which may add future strength, to the democratic party on the stump. It is vory questionable whether if more thaa two law have been enacted which can be raised as au issue two years hence. Not One. Franklin Democrat. The legislature has adjourned, and still the Democrat fails to see a single complimentary notice of its work among the democratic exchanges coming to thij office.
