LOSS OF THE YEENDAM. Set on Tire and Abandoned Sinking Condition. in a - Dm! Collided With Some Wreck**®—Op> pert one Arrival on the Scene of the American Liner St. Louis — The Ynaeen*erm and Crew Saved.

New York, Feb. 13.—The American Une steamer St. Louis, Capt. Randle, Which arrived from Southampton, reports the loss at sea of the HollandAmerican line steamer Veendam. Capt. Stenger, from Rotterdam for New York. The passengers and crew of the Veendam were saved by the St. Louis. At quarantine Capt. Stenger„of the Veenham reported as follows: “The Veendam left Rotterdam February 3 with a general cargo, nine cabin, 118 steerage passengers and 85 crew, bound for New York. Had strong northwest gales, and high west and westnorthwest seas. February 6, at about 5:17 p. m., ship's time, being in latitude 49:35 north, longitude 20:01 west, the steamer struck a submerged wreck or wreckage, which probably tore a hole in the ship's bottom and broke her propeller shaft. We found that our ship was making considerable water. We immediately set all pumps to work, but notwithstanding this, the water gained on us. In the meantime, all our boats were made ready in order, if necessary, to leave th^ship at a moment's notice, because she was novi sinking rapidly by the stern. At 1:30 a. m. we observed the masthead flights of a large steamei bearing about east by south from us. We made signals of distress, on which the vessel bore down on us. We theD decided, for the safety of the passengers and crew, to abandon the ship. The vessel proved to be the St. Louis, of the American line.bound from South- j ampton for New York. We hailed hei and reported that our ship was sinking and that we wished to be taken oft At 1:43 a. m. we commenced to tyansfei our passengers and crew, using thre« { boats of the St. Louis and one of ours. Our men were kept at the pumps. At 4:53 Monday morning everybody bad beeu transferred to the St. Louis j When the last boat left the Veendan; 1 was laboring very heavily and sinking rapidly by the stern. The transfer o: the passengers and crew took, not with standing the great difficulties and high seas running, three hours and ten minutes, and was accomplished without th« slightest accident. “As the wreck was a dangerous obstruction to navigation, we decided t< act her ou tire, which was done. Th« position of the. wreck was then latitudi 49:19 north, longitude 19:47 west. “On board the St. Louis we wen warmly received, and the captain ane his officers did everything possible foi our comfort. We take this opportunity to er:press our utmost gratitude, also, in the name of the passengers of th< Veendam.” ' The Veendam was formerly th< White Star steamer Baltic. She wai built at Belfast. Ireland, by Harland A Wolff, in 1871. She was a four-masted barkentine rigged screw steamer. Sinregistered 4.038 gross anil 2.767 net'tons and was 4is feet long, 41 feet beam ant 31.9 feet deep.

Supt. (I ay lor, his son and another Pinkerton man have been here looking for Sanguilly, they believing he was somewhere near. It is alleged that the Cubans have sent San-; guilly away on this trip to get rid ol him in the United States. The detectives arc totally ignorant of the departure of this expedition. It is understood that 5.000 rifles, 6.0(X pounds of dynamite, 300,000 rounds ol cartridges and a large lot of supplie* made up the cargo.

OPERA HOUSE BURNED. lotiw! Thrilling Ktrap^ by Koprn and Laddm. Mouse. III., Feb. 14.—The Auditorium opera house, with contents, was destroyed by tire last evening. Adjoining store buildings also suffered *■ from fire and water. The total loss u . estimated at $$0,000. The dames cu off egress from the Auditorium, and there were several thrilling reseues by ropes and ladders. The lojpr is covered by insurance. THE FIRST OF ITS KIND. A Christian Selene* Church Dedicated la . Detroit, Michigan. Detroit. Mich., Feb. 14.—The First Christian Science church in Detroit, was dedicated yesterday. The building which had' been purchased, repaired and redecorated without leaving any debt remaining. was formerly the Emmanuel Epis.-opai church, and the treasury of the new organization ■till contains $1,000. Many v. Christian Scientists from various cities were present. The new church lias a >numberahip of pearly 300.

LET HIM DOWN EASY. tfc* P»>l«wat De Los* Incident Bf Cmrded ns Closed—The Acecptaiice of Hie Resignation Token by Oar Govern' ment ns n Sufficient Settlemeat-Hngmn. Imous Action thnt Is Uketj to be Misunderstood nt the Spanish Capital. Washington, Feb. 12.—The personal incident, growing out of the publication of Senor Dupuy De Lome's letter to Senor Canalejas. may be regarded aa closed. This has been brought about by the short cablegram sent by Minister Woodford from Madrid, in which ho states the minister had resigned and his resignation had been accepted before he (Mr. Woodford) presented the request of the United States that he be recalled.

xne omciais Here feel an interest in learning the details of the happenings in Madrid Thursday, and are whiting for Mr. Woodford's promised full report. But unless this should contain some statement that is not now expected, there is no disposition on the part of the government to protract the closing of this unpleasant incident, and it is not expected that anything in the nature of a demand for an apology will be made. If a graceful disclaimer Should come, that will be taken in the spirit in which it is made; otherwise the matter will be dropped and the relations between tho state department and the Spanish legation will run smoothly once more through the medium of Senor Don Juan Dubose, the first secretary and now charge d'affaires. - It can be said for the president that he shows little personal concern in the matter as it stands, and is not disposed to pursue Mr. De Lome in any personal spirit, and with this spirit in the head of the administration the end of the affair may be said to have been reached. Charge d- Affaires Senor Don Joan Dubose. Washington. Feb. 12.—As the representative of Spain Senor Don Juan Dubose called at noon yesterday af the state department and presented in writing the notification of the Spanish government that the resignation of Senor Enrique Dupuy De Lome had been accepted and that Senor Dubose was authorized to represent his government as charge d'affaires ad interim. The notification was purely formal, giving the facts of transfer, without mention of the incideut leading up to it. Having assumed his duties, Mr. Dubose paid a call of respect to the state department, He was not accompanied by Senor De Lome. The incident is regarded as closed, so far as Spain is concerned. How the United States will regard it, the legation does not know, of course. Senor Dubose, the new representative of Spain, was seen at the legation. He looks more like an Englishman than a Spaniard, being tall and of heavy build with no Spanish in his accent. His mother was an English woman and he was trained at Oxford. For the present he asked to be excused from, discussing Spanish affairs. COSTLY FLAMES.

Seven-Story Office ItuildtnR. the Pro pert} of Lfjl 1*. Mortonc L>»I roved-Lint of the New York. Feb. 12.—Levi P. Morton's seven-story office building, with frontage on Nassau and Ann streets, and known as the Nassau chambers building, was completely destroyed by tire last night. The firemen had a hard battle, and for three hours there was every prospect of a great conflagration. The Derby Desk Co., occupied both the Nassau and Ann street stores and the basement of the building, where the fire originated,was occupied by the Herald Cycle Co. From the Nassau chambers the fire spread to the four-story building adjoining. and the clothing store of Maduro brothers on the ground floor was qnick.ly in iiames. The loss here, also, will Ik* practically complete. Several firemen were badly cut by flying glass ifnd debris, but none seriously injured. The Murray stationery store occupied a small frontage adjoining the Derby Desk Co..on Nassau street, and the concern has very little, if nnything. left. The upper part of the Nassau chambers was occupied by lawyers as offices, and a number of manufacturing concerns also had offices there. . All of them suffered severely from the fire. The ltennett building, at the southwest corner Of Nassau and Ann streets, caught fire several times, but was extinguished. & The loss is estimated at present at half a million, the larger share of which will Ik* born, by the Morton in-* teresls. although' it was stated they are well insurod. The Derby Desk Co., and the Maduro Brothers are mentioned as the next heavy losers.

Pa., Feb. 13.—When court opened yesterday for the trial of Sheriff Martin and his deputies who are charged with the killing of the strikers at Lattimer, the defense introduced a new feature in the cross-exam-ination by endeavoring to show that the evidence of the witnesses was influenced by the hope of securing damages from the government in the event of a conviction. AN AGREEABLE SURPRISE. Secretary Alger Attends the Cabinet Keating—Off for Fort Monroe. WAsiHXGTok, Feb. 12,—The president *nd the members of the cabinet were agreeably surprised at the appearance of Secretary Alger at the regular meeting of the cabinet yesterday. This is the first time in eight weeks that he has been able to attend. The secretary looked worn from his long illness and did not remain long at the meeting. but the great progress he has made towards complete recovery was noticeably

NOBfcE MEN AND WOMEN. Dr. T aim age Talks on the Religion of Ordinary People. Enroon^eurat for the Unrecognised and Unrewarded—The Advantage of Inconsplcnoosness—Great Men From Humble Homes.

In the following discourse Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage calls the roll of faithful men and women who have gone unheralded and unrecorded to their reward. The text is: Salute Asyneritus, Phi >son, Hennas. Patrobas, Hermes, Philologus and Julia.—Romans rvi, 14-1&. Matthew Henry,Albert Barnes, Adam Clark, Thomas Scott, and all the commentators pass by these verses without any especial remark. The other 20 people mentioned in the chapter were distinguished for something, and were therefore discussed by the illustrious expositors; but nothin*, is said about Asyneritus, PhlegoA. Hermas, 1‘atrobas, Hermes, Philologus and Julia. Where were they born? No one knows. When did they die? There is no record of their decease. For what | were they distinguished? AbJblutely nothing, or the trait of character would have been brought out by the apostle. If they had been very intrepid. or opulent, or hirsute, or musical of cadence, or crass of style, or in any wise anomalouss that feature would have been caught by the apostolic ! camera. But they were good people, because Paul sends to them his high | Christian regards. They were ordinary people moving in ordinary sphere, ; attending to ordinary duty and meetj ing ordinary resposibilities. What the world wants is a religion | for ordinary people. If there be in the United- States 70,000,000 people, there are certainly not more than 1.000. 000 extraordinary; and there are 69.000. 000 ordinary, and we do well to turn our backs for a little while upon the distinguished and conspicuous people of the Bible and consider in our text the seven ordinary. We spend too much of our time, twisting garlands ; for remark ables. and building thrones I for magnates, and sculpturing warriors and apotheosizing philanthropists. The rank and file of the Lord's sol- • diery need especial help. The vast majority of people will never lead an army, will never write a state j constitution, will never electrify a senate, will never make an important in- j vention. will never introduce a new philosophy, will never decide the fate j of a nation. You do not expect to: you ; do not1 want to. You will not 'be a Moses to lead a nation out of bondage, j I You will not be a Joshua to prolong | the daylight until you can shut five j kings in a cavern. You will not be a St. John to unroll an Apocalypse. You will not be a Paul to preside over an j apostolic college. You will not be a Mary to mother a Christ. You will ] more probably be Asyneritus, or Phle- j gon. or Hermas. or Patrobas, or Her- j mes. or Philologus, or Julia. Many of you are women at the head j ' of households. Every morning you ! plan for the day. The culinary depart- : ment of the household is your domin-; ion. You decide all questions of diet. All the sanitary regulations of your ; house are under your supervision. To j regulate the food, and the apparel and the habits, and decide the thous- i and questions of home life is a tax upon j brain and nerve and general health ab- i solutely appalling, if there be no Di-1 vine alleviation. j It does not help you much to be told ; that Elizabeth Fry did wonderful j things amid the criminals at Newgate. It does not help you much to be told ; that Mrs. Jnllson was very brave among the Bornesian, cannibals. It does not help you very much to be told that j Florence Nightingale was very kind to j the wounded in the Crimea. It would be better for me to tell you that the Divine friend of Mary and Martha is j i your friend, and that He sees-all the ' annoyances and disappointments and abrasions and exasperations of an or- j dinary housekeeper from morn till j night, and from the first day of the year until the last day of the year, and at your call He is ready with help and j re-enforcement. j 1 They who provide the food of the world decide thehealth of the world. You have only to go on some errand amid the taverns and the hotels of the United States and Great Britain to appreciate the fact that a vast multitude of the human race are slaughtered by j incompetent cookery. Though a young woman may have taken lessons in music and may have taken lessons in painting, and lessons in astronomy, she is not well educated unless she has taken lessons in dough’. They who decide the apparel of the world and the food of the world decide the endurance of the worli.'

t An ununnKing man mav consider 11 a matter of little importance—the cares of the household and the economics of ; domestic life—but I tell you the earth is strewn with the martyrs of kitchen and nursery. The health-shattered ! womanhood of America cries out for a God who can help ordinary women in I the ordinary, duties of housekeeping. I The wearing, grinding, unappreciated work goes on. but the same Christ who stood on the bank of Galilee in the early morning and kindled the fire and had the fish already cleaned and broil-1 ing when the sportsmen stepped ashore,'; chilled and hungry, will help every j other woman to prepare breakfast, whether by her own hand or the hand of *ser hired help. The God who made indestructible eulogy of Hannah, who made a coat for, Samuel. her son. and carried it to the temple every year, will help every woman in preparing the family wardrobe. The God who opens toe Bible with the story of Abraham's entertainment by the three angels on the plains of Mamre will help every woman to hospitality, however rare and embar- • rassing. It is high time that some of ' the attention we have been giving to j the remarkable women of the Bible— 1 remarkable for their virtue, or their j want of it, or remarkable for their!

deeds—Deborah and Jezebel, and Heredias and Athalia, and Dorcas and the Marys, excellent and abandoned—it is high time some of the attention we have been giving to these conspicuous women of the Bible be given to Julia, an ordinary woman, amid ordinary circumstances, attending to duties, and meeting ordinary responsibilities. Then there are all the ordinary business men. They need Divine and Christian help. When we begin to talk aoout business life we shoot right off and talk about men who did business on a large scale, and who sold millions of dollars of goods a year; and the vast majority of business men do not sell a million dollars of goods, nor

nalt a mi llion, nor quarter of a million, nor the eighth part of a million. Put all the business men of our cities, towns, villages, and neighborhoods side by side, and you wifi find that they sell less than a hundred thousand dollars’ worth of goods. All those men in ordinary business life want Divine help. You see how the wrinkles are printing on the countenance the story of worriment and care. You can not tell how old a business man is by looking at him. Gray hairs at 30. A man at 45 with the-stoop of a nonogenarian. No time to attend to improved dentistry, the grinders cease because they are few. Actually dying of old age at 40 or-50. when they ought to be at the meridian. Many of these business men have bodies like a neglected clock, to which you come, and when you wind it up it begins to buzz and roar, and then the hands start around very rapidly, and then the clock strikes five, or ten, or 40, and strikes without amf sense, and then suddenly stops. So is the body of that worn-out business-man. It is a neglected clock, and though by some summer recreation it may be wound up. still the machinery is all out of gear. The hands turn around with a velocity that excites the astonishment of the world. Men can not understand the wonderful activity, and there is a roar, a buzz, and a rattle about these disordered lives, and they strike 12 when they ought to strike six, and they strike 40 when they ought to strike nothing, and suddenly they stop. Post-mortem examination reveals the faet that all the springs, and pivots, and weights, and balancewheels of health are completely deranged. The human clock is simply run down. And at the time when the steady hand ought to be pointing to the industrious hours on a clear and sunlit dial, the whole meehinerv of body, mind and earthly capacity stops forever. Oak Hill and Greenwood have thousands of business men who died of old age at 30. 35. 40. 45. Now. what is wanted is grace—divine grace for ordinary business men, •men who are harnessed from morn till night and all the days of their life— harnessed in business. Not grace to lose 8100,000, but grace to lose 810. Not grace to supervise 250 employes in a factory, but grace to supervise the bookkeeper, and two salesmen, and the small boy that sweeps out the storg. Grace to invest not the 8S0.000 of net ptofit. but the 82,500 of clear gain. Grace not to endure the loss of a whole ship load of spices from the Indies, but grace to endure the loss of a paper of collars from the leakage of a displaced shingle on a paper roof. Grace not to endure the tardiness of the American congress in passing a necessary law, but grace to endure the tardiness of an errand boy stopping to play marbles when he ought to deliver the goods. Such a grace as thousands of business men have to-day—keeping thym tranquil, whether goods sell or do not sell, whether customers pay or do not pay, whether tariff is up or tariff is down, whether the crops are luxuriant or a dead failure—calm in all circumstances and amid all vicissitudes. That is the kind of grace we want.

Millions or men want it. and they may have it for the asking. Some hero or heroine eomes to town, and as the procession passes through the street the business men come out. stand on tiptoe on their store step and look at some one who. in arctic clime, or in ocean storm, or in day of battle, or in hospital agonies, did the brave thing, not realizing that they, the enthusiastic spectators, have gone through trials in business life that are just as great before God. There are men who have gone through freezing arctics and burning torrents, and awful Marengoes of experiences without moving five miles from their own doorstep. Now, what ordinary business men need is to realize that they have the friendship of that Christ who looked } after the religious interests of Matthew, the custom-house clerk, and helped Lydia, of Thyatira, to sell the dry goods, and who opened a bakery and fishmarket in the wilderness of Asia Minor to feed the 5,000 who had come out on a religious picnic, and who counts the hairs of your head with as much particularity as though they j were the plumes of a coronation, and who took the trouble to stoop down with His finger writing on the ground, although the first shuttle of feet obliterated the divine caligraphy, and who knows just how many locusts there were in the Egyptian plague, and knew just how many ravens were necessary to supply Elijah's pantry by the brook Cherith, and who. as floral commander, leads forth all the regiments of primroses. foxgloves, daffodils, hyacinths and lilies which pitch their tents of beauty and kindle their camp-fires of color around the hemisphere—that that Christ and that God know the most minute affairs of your business life and however inconsiderable, understanding all the affairs of that woman who keeps a thread-and-needle store as well as all the affairs of a Rothschild and a Raring. Then there are all the ordinary farmers. We talk about agricultural life, and we immediately shoot off to talk about Cincinnatus, the patrician, who went from the plow to a high position, and after he got through the dictatorship, in 21 days went back again to the plow. What encouragement is that to ordinary farmers? The vast maior

ity of them—none of them win be patricians. Perhaps none of them will be senators. If any of them have dictatorships it will be over 40, 50 or 100 acres of the old homestead. What these men want is grace to keep their patience while plowing with balky oxen,and to keep eheeful amid the drought that destroys the corn crop, and that enables them to restore the garden the day after the neighbor's cattle have broken in and trampled out the strawberry bed and gone through the Limabcan patch, and eaten up the sweet' corn in such large quantities that they must be kept from the water less they swell up and die.

errace m eatcmng weatner mat enables them, without imprecation, to spread out the hay the third time, although again, and again, and again,1 it has been almost ready for the mow. A grace to doctor the cow with a hollow horn, and the sheep with the foot rot, and the horse with the distemper, and to compel the unwilling acres to yield a livelihood for the family, and schooling for the children and little extras to help the older boy in business, and something for the daughter's wedding outfit, and a little surplus for the time when the ankles will get stiff with age, and the breath will be ^ a little short* and the swinging of the cradle through the hot harvest field will bring on the old man's vertigo. Better close up about Cincinnatus. I know 500 farmers just as noble as he was. What #they want is to know that they have the friendship of that Christ who often drew His similes from the farmer's life, as when He said: “A sower went forth to sow.” as when He built His best parable out of the scene of a farmer boy coming back from his wanderings. and the old farmhouse shook that night with the rural jubilee: and who compareoHimself to a lamb in the pasture field, and who said that the eternal Hod is a farmer, declaring: ‘*My Father is the husbandman."’ Those stone masons do not want to hear about Christopher Wren^the architect, who built St. Paul’s Cathedral. It would be better to tell them how to carry the hod of brick up the ladder without, slipping, and how on a cold morning with the trowel to smooth off the mortar and keep cheerful, and how to be thankful to God for the plain food taken from the pail by the roadside. Carpenters standing amid the4 adze, and the bit, and the plane, and the broad ax, need to be told that Christ was a carpenter, with His own hand wielding saw and hammer. Gh, this is a tired world, and it is ah overworked world, and it is an underfed world, and it is a wrung-out world, and men and women need to know tbjat there is rest and recuperation in \l6d, and in that religion which was not sc much intended for extraordinary people as for ordinary people, because they are more of them. The healing profession has had its Abercrombies, and its 5\bernethys. and its Valentine Motts, and its WillsSrd Parkers; but the ordinary physicians do the most of the world's medieiniifg. and they need to understand that while taking diagnosis or prognosis, or writing prescriptions, or compounding medicament, or holding the delicate pulse of the dying child, they may have the presence and the dictation ol the Almighty Doctor who took the case of the madman, and. after He had torn off his garments in foaming dementia, clothed him again, body and mind, and who lifted up the woman who for 16 years had been bent almost double with the rheumatism into graceful stature, and who turned the scabs of leprosy into rubicund complexion, and who rubbed the numbness out of paralysis, and who swung wide open the closed windows of hereditary or accidental blindness, until the morning light came streaming through the fleshly casements, and who knows all the diseases, and all the remedies, and all the herbs, and all the catholiconsi and is m march of pharmacy and therapeutics, and who has sent out 10.000 doctors of whom the world makes no record: but to prove that they are Angels of mercy, I invoke the thousands of men whose ailments they have assuaged and the thousands of women to whom in cries of pain they have been next to God in benefaction. Come, now, let us have a religion for ordinary people in professions, in occupations, in agriculture, in the housiehold, in merchandise, in everything. 1 salute across the centuries Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hernias, Patrobas, Hermes. Philologus and Julia.
