TALUAGFS -SERMON.

THE STRIKE EPIDEMIC LAST SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. 'The Eye Cannot Say Unto the Hand: I Have St Nfrd f Thee" From the First Itoult of Corinthians, Chapter 12: Verse 21. Fifty thousand workmen in Chicago ceasing work in one day; Brooklyn stunned by the attempt to halt its railroad tars; Cleveland in the throes of a labor agitation, and restlessness among toilers all over the land have caused an epidemic of strikes, and somewhat to better things, I apply the Pauline thought of my text. You have seen an elaborate piece of machinery, with a thousand wheels and a thousand bands and a thousand pulley all controlled by one great , water wheel, the machinery so adjusted that when you jar one part of it you jar all parts of it. Well, human society is a great piece of mechanism controlled by one great and ever-revolving force the wheel of God's providence. You harm one part of the machinery cf society and you harm all parts. All professions interdependent. All trades interdependent. All classes of people interdependent. Xo such thing as independence. Dives cannot kick Lazarus without hurting his own foot. They who threw Shadrach into the furnace got their own bodies scorched. Or to come back to the figure of the text, what a strange thing it would be if the eye should say, I oversee the entire physical mechanism. I despise the other members of the body, if there is anything I am disgusted with, it is with those miserable, low-lived hands. Or, what if the hand should say, I am th? boss workman of the whole physical economy; I have no respect for the other members of the body. If there is anything I despise, it is the eye seated under the dome of the forehead doing nothing but look. I come in and I wave the flag of truce between these two contestants, and I say: "The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I have no need of thee.' " That brings me to the first suggestion, and that is, that Labor and Capital are to he brought to a better understanding by a complete canvass of the whole subject. They will be brought to peace when they find that they are identical in their interests. When one goes down, they both go down. When one rises, they both rise. There will be an equilibrium after awhile. There never was an exception to tho rule. That which is good for one class of society eventually will be good for all classes of society, and that which is bad for one cl.'.ss of society will eventuallv and in time be bad for all. n.'-.'ry speech that Labor makes against Capital po.-trones the day of permanent adjustment. Every speech that Capital makes against Labor postpones the day of permanent adjustment. When Capital maligns Labor, it is the eye cursing the hand. When Labor maligns Capital it is the hand cursing the eye. As far as I have observed, the vast majority of capitalists are sueees.-ful laborers. If the capitalists would draw their gloves, you would tee the broken finger nail, the scar of an obi blister, th stiffened fii ger joint. The great publishers of the country for the most part vcre bookbinders, or typesetters, on small pay. The great carriage manufacturers for the most part sandpapered wagon bodies in wheelwright shops. Whiic, on the other hand, in all our large manufacturing establishments you will find men on wages who once employed a hundred or five hundred hands. The distance between Capital and Labor is not a great gulf over which is swung a Niagara suspension bridge; it is only a step, and the capitalists are crossing over to become laborers, and the laborers are crossing over to become capitalists. Would God they might shake hands while they cross. On the other hand, laborers are the highest style of capitalists. Where are their investments? In banks, No! In the railroads, No! Their nerve, their muscle, their bone, their mechanical skill, their physical health are magnificent capital. He who has two eyes, two ears, two feet, two hands, ten fingers, has machinery that puts into nothingness carpet and screw and cotton factory, and all the other implements on the planet. The capitalists were laborers, the laborers were capitalists. The sooner we understand that the better. Again: There is to come relief to the laboring classes of this country through co-operative associations. I am not at this moment speaking of trades unions, but of that plan by which laborc put their surplus together and become their own capitalists. Instead of being dependent upon the beck of this capitalist or that capitalist, thoy manage their own affairs. In England and Wiles there are 813 co-operative associations. They have 310.000 members; they have a capital of $18,000,000, or what corresponds to our dollars, and they do a business annually of $,000,000. Thomas lirassey, one of the foremost mm in the British parliament on the subject says: "Cooperation is the one and the only relief for the laboring populations. This is the path." he says, "by which they are to come up from the hand-to-the-mouth style of living, to reap the rewards and the honors of our advanced civilization." Lord Deroy. and John Stuart Mill, who gave half their lives to the study of the labor question, believed in co-operative institutions. The co-operative institution formed in Troy. N. Y., stood long enough to illustrate the fact that great good might come cf such an institution, if it were rigntly carried on and mightily developed. "Hut," says seme one, "haven't these institutions sometimes been a failure?" Yes. Every great movement has been a failure at some time. Application of the steam power a failure, electro-telegraphy a failure, railroading a failure, but now the chief successes of the world. "But," says some one, "why talk of surplus being put by laborers into cooperative associations, when the vast multitude of toilers of this country are struggling for their daily bread, and have no surplus?" I reply: Put into my hand the money spent by the hboring classes of America for rum and tobacco, and I will establish cooperative associations in all parts of

this land, some of them mightier than any financial institutions of the country. We spend in this country over $100,GC0.000 every year for tobacco. We spend over $1,500,000,000, directly or indirectly, for rum. The laboring classes spend their share of this money. Now, suppose the laboring man who has been expending his money in those directions, should just add up how much he has expended during these past few years, and then suppose that that money was put into a co-operative association, and then suppose he should have all his friends in toil, who had made the same kind of expenditure, do the same thing, and that should be added up and put into a co-operative association. And then take all that money expended for overdress and over-style and over-living on the part of toiling people in order that they may appear as well as persons who have more income gather

that all up and you could have co-op-erative associations all over this land I am not saying anything now about trades unions. You want to know what I think of trades unions. I think they are most beneficial in some directions, and they have a specific object, and in this day. when there are vast monopolies a thousand monopolies concentring the wealth cf the peple into the possession of a few men. unless the laboring men of this country and all countries band together they will go under. There is a lawful use of a trade union, but then there is an unlawful use of a trade union. If it means sympathy in time of sickness, if it means finding work for people when they are out of work, if it means the improvement of the financial, the moral or the religious condition of the laboring classes, that is all right. Do not singers band together in Handel and Haydn societies? Do not newspaper men band together in press clubs?, Do not ministers of religion band together in conferences and associations? There is not in all the land a city where clergymen do not come together, many of them once a week, to talk over affairs. For these reasons you should not blame labor guilds. When they are doing their legitimate work they are most admirable, but when they come around with drum and fife and flag, and drive people off from their toil, from their scaffoldings, from their factories, then they are nihilistic, then they are communistic, then they are barbaric, then they are a curse. If a man wants to stop work let him stop work, but he cannot stop me from work. But now suppose that all the laboring classes banded together for beneficent purposes in co-operative association, under whatever name they put their means together. Suppose they take the money that they waste in rum and tobacco, and use it for the elevation of their children, for their moral. intellectual and religious improvement, what a different state of things we would have in this country, and they would have in Great Britain! Do you not realize the fact that men work better without stimulant? You say, "Will you deny the laboring men this holj) which they get from strong drink, borne down as they are with many anxieties and exhausting work?" I would deny them nothing that is good for them. I would deny them strong drink, i!' I had the power, be cause it is damaging to them. My father said, "I became a temperance man in early life because I found that in the harvest field, while I was naturally weaker than the other men. I could hold out longer than any of them; they took stimulant and I took none." Everybody knows they cannot endure great fatigue men who indulge in stimulants. All our young men understand that. When they are preparing for the regatta, or the ball club, or the athletic wrestling, they abstain from strong drink. Now. suppose all this money that is wasted were gathered together and put into co-operative institutions Oh! we would have a very different state of things from what we have now. Let me say a word to all capitalists. Be your own executors. Make investments for eternity. Do not be like some of those capitalists I know who walk around among their employes with a supercilious air, or drive up to the factory in a manner which seems to indicate they are the autocrat of the universe, with the sun and moon in their vest pockets, chiefly anxious when they go among laboring men not to be touched by the greasy or smirched hand and have their broadcloth injured. Be a Christian employer. Remember those who are under your charge are bone of your bone and flesh of your flesh; that Jesus Christ died for them and that they are immortal. Divide up your rotates, or portions of them, for the relief of the world, hefore you leave it. Do not go out of the world like that man who died in New York, leaving in his will $40,000.000. yet giving how much for the church of God? how much for the alleviation of human suffering? He gave some money a little while before he died. That was well; but in all this will of $10,000,000 how much? One million? No. Five hundred thousand? No. One hundred dollars? No. Two cents? No. One cent? No. These great cities groaning in anguish, nations crying out for the bread of everlasting life. A man in a will giving forty millions of dollars and not one cent to God. It is a disgrace to our civilization. Or. as illustrated in a letter which I have concerning a man who departed this life, leaving between five and eight millions of dollars. Not one dollar was left, this writer says, to comfort the aged workmen and workwomen, not one dollar to elevate and instruct the hundreds of pale children who otille 1 their childish growth in the heat and clamor of his factory. Is it strange w.iat the curse of the children cf toil follow such ingratitude? How well could one of his many millions have been disbursed for the present and the future benefit of those whose hands had woven literally the fabric of the dead manV? princely fortune. O! capitalists of the United States, be your own executors. Be a George Peabody, if need be, on a small scale. God has made you a steward discharge your responsibility. My word is to all laboring men in this country: I congratulate you at your brightening prospects. I congratulate you on the fact that you are getting your representatives, at Aluany, at Harrisburg, and at Washington. I

have only to mention such a man of the past as Henry Wilson, the shoemaker; as Andrew Johnson, the tailor; as Abraham Lincoln, the boatman. The living illustrations easily occur to you. This will go on until you will have representatives at all the headquarters, and you will have full justice. Mark that. I congratulate you also at the opportunities for your children. I congratulate you that you have :o work and that when you are dead yo lr children have to work. I congratulate you also on your opportunities of information. Plato paid one thousand three hundred dollars for two books. Jerome ruined himself financially by buying one volume of Origen. What vast opportunities for intelligence for you and your children. A working man goes along by the show window of some great publishing house and he sees a book that costs five dollars. He says, "I wish I could have that information; I wish I could raise five dollars for that costly and beautiful book." A few months pass on and he gets the value of that book for twentyfive cents in a pamphlet. There never was such a day for the workingmen of America as this day and the day that is coming. I also congratulate you 'because your work is only prefatory and introductory. You want the grace of Jesus Christ, the Carpenter of Nazareth. He toiled himself, and he knows how to sympathize with all who toil. Get his grace in your heart and you can sing on the scaffolding amid the storm, in the shop shoving the plane, in the mine plunging the crowbar, rn shipboard climbing the ratlines. He will make the drops of sweat on your brow glittering pearls for the eternal coronet. Are you tired, he will rest you. Are you sick, he will give you help. Are you cold, he will wrap you in the mantle of his love. Who are they before the throne? "Ah!" you say, "their hands were never calloused with toil." Yes they were; but Christ raised them to that high eminence. Who are these? "These are they that came out of great tribulation and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb." That for every Christian working man and for every Christian workingwoman will be the beginning of eternal holiday.

DRINKING IN HOT WEATHER. By "drinking" in hot weather we do not mean the taking of beer, wine or stronger liquors, for there is nothing to discuss in such a question. There is no one competent to speak on this subject, even though lie may indulge moderately himself, who does not admit that the human system is better without alcoholic drinks in hot weather. But "intemperance" does not consist alone in indulgence in intoxicating beverages; many a man has died of "intemperance" in eating and in drinking who never allowed so much as a glass of cider to pass his lips. The most dangerous of all drinks in hot weather is ice water; for being without cost and without taste, it is often taken in enormous quantities, whereas if it cost money, seldom more than a single glass would be taken at a time. Like many other things, ice water is in itself a blessing, and only as an abused gift becomes a curse. When one is overheated, ice water taken sipwise is refreshing and cooling, but when swallowed in great draughts it is a deadly thing. Every summer we read in the papers of men dying suddenly from this very cause and then forget the warning as soon as we are hot and thirsty. If the temptation to take a "long drink" cannot be resisted, the water must not be cold; even cool spring water is dangerous so indulged in. The proper way is to rinse the mouth and gargle the throat first with cold water and then take a couple of swallows not gulps and so on, alternately gargling and drinking. The first time this plan is tried one will be astonished to find how little cold water is needed to quench the thirst and refresh the heated body. One glassful used in this way will do more good than three or four taken like a horse. It must not be understood, however, from anything said above, that the drinking of water in hot weather is injurious. On the contrary large quantities should be taken, two quarts or more a day, but it should be taken a little at a time, and not too cold. The body is constantly throwing off water in the form of perspiration, and water must be supplied to replace the loss. We have spoken only of water because this is the basis of all cooling drinks, and beeause we cannot drink quarts of lemonade or any other sweetened and flavored beverage without causing the stomach to rebel, but when taken in moderation, soda water, ginger ale, and the like, are harmless. A I'-tiiioiil Lover in Love. A collector of gems in Boston possessed three perfectly matched solitaires, of blue, rose and yellow, and would show them to his friends as the loveliest combination of colors be knew anything about. The true lover of gems prefers stones unset, so he can stir them about with the point of a jeweler's nippers or a pencil and enjoy their unalloyed sparkle and purity in every phase of light. These three perfectly colored diamonds, which were carried In the man's waistcoat pocket, wrapped in cotton, were valued at several thousand dollars, but one day Cupid appeared, and then one of the precious stones went into a blazing engagement ring, and the remaining two eventually found themselves turned into "jew elry." Such is tho power of love. Boston Herald. CJift to a French Library. The British museum has presented 30,000 documents relating to the French revolution, of which it had duplicates, to the French National li brary of Paris,

GRUBB IS IN TROUBLE

NOTED WARRIOR IN THE BANKRUPT COURTS. Hrlleved That He Cannot Regain His Shattered Fortune The l'uhlie May Aid Him His Career as a Soldier, Citizen a u.I I'olit Iclaii. Great surprise was expressed in New York city the other day by the announcement that the sheriff had been ordered to sell the handsome residence of Gen. E. Burd Grubb of Edgewater Fark, near Trenton. N. J., to satisfy a mortgage for $23,000. It had been generally supposed the former minister to Spain was in good circumstances, and none of his friends had even an intimation that he was on the verge of losing his home. The greatest sym pathy has been expressed for Gen. Grubb. and it is more than likely that some kind of a plan will be set afoot for the purpose of trying to save him from the mortification and pain that mucst necessarily follow the action threatened. Gen. Grubb has been a prominent figure in New Jersey politics for many years. His fight at the Republican convention in September, 1SS9, for nomination for governor is memorable in the annals of New Jer sey politics. Backed by the entire Grand Army of the Republic element of the state he went before the convention. On the first ballot he lacked only a few votes of the nomination. On the second ballot he swept the convention and was nominated by acclama tion. In the bitter campaign which followed Gen. Grubb was defeated and Leon Abbott was elected. Gen. Grubb has been considered wealthy and his entertainments at his residence at Edgewater Park have been on a grand scale. He has given dinners at one time or another to nearly all the foreign representatives sent to this coun try, and his home has always been open for the entertainment of soldiers. While he was minister to Spain, to which post he was appointed by President Harrison, he. entertained on a magnificent scale. He vas born in Burlington, N. J., in 1841, and has always claimed Burlington county as his home. He enlisted in the Third New Jersey regiment at the outbreak of the civil war and served with distinction. He was brevetted brigadier general for bravery on the field. He was for many years the commander of the famous City Troop of Philadelphia. When the war with Spain was declared Gen. Grubb recruited a regiment in New Jersey. THEY KISSED VICTORIA. Last One of the Once Many School Girls 1 Dead. Mrs. Eleanor Jeffreys. English, from Raleigh, Essex, died in this city yesterday, aged 9G, says a Paris correspondent. With her disappeared the Society of the Kiss Royal, of which she was the only surviving member. The society was composed originally of forty-five young women who had kissed Queen Victoria at the cost of a shilling each. That happened when her gracious majesty was an infant in the cradle. One day her nurse nad taken her out in a pony cart for an airing in Richmond park. The tiny princess was recognized by the students of one of the most aristocratic girls' schools in London. They surrounded the little carriage and one of the girls offered to give the nurse a shilling if she would let her kiss the pretty baby. The nurse accepted. Then all the other ßtudents, amid great laughter and endearments to the child, in turn paid the toll and kissed the princess, and the servant made quite a little sum. When Victoria had succeeded to the throne of England the girls vho had kissed the queen formed a friendly association, the Society of the Kiss Royal, which Victoria honored shortly afterward with a very gracious, good-humored autograph letter, that finally passed into the possession of Mrs. Jeffreys, the last member. WOMEN'S SHAKESPEARE CLUB. IIa Celebrated Its 5!5tli Hirt Inlay Intelligent lVrevfruT, Woman lovers of Shakespeare will be interested in the Shakespeare club of Manchester, N. H.t which celebrated Its twenty-fifth birthday recently, says Harper's Bazar. Its founding dates from 1873, when a class of six Manchester women was formed for the study of the works of this immortal poet. Their work, under the leadership of Mrs. Irene Hughes, was thorough and helpful, and when a few years later another circle of six women of kindred aims met to form the Manchester Shakespeare club, the organization became at once an Influence that was entirely disproportionate to its small lht of members. The membership has Increased slowly; it stands

GENfETTGIiUnB.

today at only twenty-fire. Of thn original six members five are still connected with the club, one having died in 18S7. The club is perhaps unusual in these days of varied and conglomerate club motives in its resolute adherence to its cause of being. It organized for the study of Shakespeare and this has been pursued with discriminating industry and intelligent perseverance for a generation. The year book of the club for the coming season of 1S99-1900 shows the same rigid adherence to the subject. The club meets weekly and through November "King John" will be studied, divided into four meetings, the topics of which are as follows: 1, acts 1 and 2; 2, acts 3, 4 and 5; 3, analysis of the play; 4, magna charta. December is devoted to the same careful analysis of "As You Like It;" January, "Richard III," with a supplementary lecture. In February, March and April, "Othello," 'Twelfth Night" and "Julius Caesar" are taken up respectively.

ALI BEY IN TROUBLE. Ali Ferrough Bey, who represents the sultan of Turkey at Washington, is the central figure in a scandal which may lead to his recall by the sublime porte. It has been known for some time that several young attaches of several legations were in the habit of going to the house of the Turkish minister nightly and playing baccarat. For two evenings of the week the stakes were quite unlimited. A dinner was always served, including Turkish dishes, finest tobacco and the rarest of Greek and other heavy wines. One of the young men belonging to a famous diplomatic corps lost all the money he had saved to accomplish his marriage a few months later, and in consequence he lest one of the finest buds of the Washington exclusive set. Another lost so much money that he was compelled to resign and sail for Europe, and then the chiefs of the several ministries and consulates put their heads together and came to the conclusion that something must be done. How it was accomplished was never known, but the grand dinner parties ending with a plunge at baccarat at the Turkish minister's palace were suddenly suspended. Ali Ferrough Bey has been the most eccentric figure in the diplomatic history of Washington. He is probably the least popular of all the foreign representatives, and his going would not cause any public demonstration of regret. The minister is a handsome man, polished by education, if ßcmewhat over candid by nature. He adopted a remarkable familiarity with the ladies at balls and dinners a manner which at first was regarded as piquant and original, but which afterwards grew to be boresome and indeed ALI BEY. impertinent even in such a high official. This continued for some months, his friends estranging one by one until came the gambling episode. Another incident which made its way into the papers and was largely commented upon was the bestowal of a royal sultanic order upon an American lady a decoration which he led her to believe was conferred by the sultan himself, and for which the minister was called upon by the minister of foreign affairs in Turkey for explanations. Where People Never Starry. One of the questions confronting Lord Curzon, the viceroy of India, is how he is going to introduce marriage. As things are female education is out of the question and the honorable, happy state of wifehood and motherhood is impossible. The home has no existence, while the tie of mutual love and honor which unites parents and children is unknown. The custom is known as "marumakata-yam."

I A Great Cucumber Crop. Goshen, Ind. The cucumber crop in, the vicinity of Walkerton is the largest in many years, and though the farmers of that locality get from $-"0.000 to $75.000 each year from the Walkerton branch of an Eastern pickle factory, the outlook promises a better crop than ever before. Though the wheat crop was poor in places in northern Indiana, the quality is the fin est in a decade, and the abundant corn crop will mean that many mortgages will be lifted and general good times will grace the county. In the past three months there have been more mortgages paid off in Elkhart county than in any like period for fifteen years. I'acaped a Had Accident. Bedford. Ind. The north-bound night passenger train on the Monon railway, while running rapidly at a point two miles north of this city, narrowly escaped a disastrous accident. The trucks of the tender jumped the track, followed by the front trucks of the combination mail and baggage car, and the train ran across a large fill in this condition before it could be stopped. The embankment at that point is at least forty feet in height, and had the train started downward, the consequences might have been disastrous. No one was injured. The train was delayed for several hours before it could proceed. Acetylene the Coming Gas. Wabash, Ind. James Murdock and St. Murdock, officers of the Logansport and Wabash Valley Gas Company, yesterday made a thorough examination of the ruins of the acetylene gas plant, belonging to the company, and destroyed by the explosion last Monday night. They ordered it rebuilt on the original plans. Both say that acetylene is safe as coal gas, and that it is destined to supplant the other; also that the company will install acetylene generators in all the cities which it is supplying with coal gas. State lirrvitic. Miss Minnie Reamer, brutally assaulted by "Big Bill" Hilker of Ft. Wayne, and whose condition continues alarming, has brought suit against him, demanding $0.000 damages. Hilker was remanded several days ago in default of .$5.000 bonds to await definite results in her case. Joseph Lynch of Evansvil'e, who was stabbed by a crazy negro while attending a performance by the Wallace circus combination, died after removal to the city hospital. The negro, registering as Thomas Pinchan, was arrested. Lynch's home was Milan, Tenn. The Jeffersonian is the name of the new weekly paper at Shelbyville, established by Messrs. Bardrick & Stewart. It is free silver to the core, but reserves the right to criticise the Democracy when, in its judgment, such criticism is deserved. While a group of colored men were seining in Blue river, near Shelbyville, a carp attempted to escape from the net and was captured by Stokes Motley. It weighed twenty-five and onehalf pounds. A. E. Ross, the school teacher arrested at Cincinnati for the theft of valuable books from the Noblesville library, was also known as E. A. douse, W. P. Dean and W. T. Swain. A special election will soon be held in Noble township, Wabash county, on the proposition to vote a subsidy of $35,000 in aid of the proposed Kokomo, Wabash & Northern electric line. Daniel Dunn of Michigan City, who injured himself in a bowling contest some months ago, and failed to recover, committed suicide by throwing himself into Lake Michigan. Thirty churches are represented in the meeting of the Northwestern Indiana conference of the Christian church at the Pipe Creek church, in Miami county. The convention of colored Baptists of eastern Indiana, in session at Muncie, elected M. C. Elza moderator and Rotert E. C. Gregory secretary. Joseph Buchart, an inmate of tha Vanderburg county infirmary, fell from a second-floor window, or else threw himself out, dying soon after. A new paper, called the Sun, has been established at Hope by O. A. Millar, succeeding the Record, recently destroyed by fire. Boone Miller, a farmer near New Carlisle, fell into a deep sleep several days ago. All efforts to arouse him have failed. Terre Haute representatives are moving to secure the meeting in 1900 of the Junior Order of American Mechanics. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Englehart of Brazil were thrown out in a runaway accident and both were alarmingly injured. The beetle plague which annoyed Indianapolis ar.d other cities throughout the state is in full bloom at Peru. Fifty men h?.ve left Kokomo for the North Dakota wheat fields, where labor is scarce. The directors of the Hagerstown fair have concluded to discontinue exhibitions. The Hagerstown Natural Gas, Company will drill additional wells. A plague of cricketo is reported at Portland.
