ON THE CITY STBEETS i The Contrasts of Splendor and Woe Seen Upon Them. Or. Talmas* Says They Are Cnltlfe the Democratic Gospel of Christ— Their Shams, Pretensions an<l Temptations. {Washington, March 16. Copyright, 1899.) In this discourse Dr. Talmage, who has lived the most of his life in cities, draws practical lessens from his own observation; text. Proverbs 1:20: “Wisdom crieth without. She uttereth her voice in the streets.” We are all ready to listen to the voices of nature—the voices of the mountain, the voices of the sea,, the voices of the storm, the voices of the star. As in sopae of the cathedrals in / - Europe there is an organ at either end of the building, and the one instrument responds musically to the other, so in the great cathedral of nature day responds to day. and night to night, and flower to flower, and star to star in the great harmonies of the universe. The springtime is an evangelist in blossoms preaching of God’s love, and the winter is a prophet—white-bearded— •denouncing woe against our sins. We are all read)* to listen to the voices of nature. But how few* of us learn anything from the voices of the noisy and •dussty street. You go to your mech' ■anism, and to your work, and to your merchandise, and you come back ngain —and often with how different a heart you pass through the streets. Are Therct no things for us to learn from -these pavements over which we pass? Are there no tufts of truth growing up i>etween these cobblestones, beaten wi th the feet of toil and pain and pleasure, the slow* tread of old age and the "quick step of childhood? Aye, there are great harvests to be reaped, and now* I thrust in the sickle because the harvest i§ ripe. “Wisdom crieth without. She uttereth her voice in the streets.”

1 In the first place, the street impresses iftie with the fact that this life is a scene of toil and struggle. By ten o'clock every day the city is jarring ■with wheels and shuffling with feet and humming with voices and covered with •the breath of smokestacks and a-rush with traffickers. Once in awhile you find a man going along with folded arms and with leisurely step, as> though he had nothing to do. but. forthemost park as you find men going down these ■streets on the way to business, there is anxiety on their faces, as though they had some errand which must be executed at the first possible moment. You are jostled by those who have bargains: to make and note® to sell. Up this ladder with a hod of bricks, out of this bank with a roll of bills, on this dray with a load of goods, digging a -cellar, or shingling a roof, or shoeing a horse, or building a wall, or mending * watch, or binding a book. Industry, with her thousand arms and thousand eyes and thousand feet, goes on singing her song of work, work, work, while the mills drum -it and the steam whistles fife it. All this is not because men love to toil. Some one remarked: . “Every man is as lazy as he can afford r.*. to be.” But it is because necessity with stern brow and with uplifted whip stands over you, ready whenever you relax your toil to make your shoulders sting with the lash. Can it be that passing up and down •these streets on your way to work and business you do not learn anything of the world’s toil and anxiety and struggle? Oh, how many drooping hearts, how many eyes on the watch, how many miles traveled, how many burdens carried*, how many losses suSfere'd, how many battles fought, how many victories gained, how many exasperations endured—what losses,what hunger, what wretchedness, what pallor, what-disease,what agonj-, what despair! Sometimes I have stopped at the corner of the street as the multitudes went hither and yon, and it. has seemed to be a great pantomime, and as I looked upon it my heart broke. This great tide of human life that goes •down the street is a rapid tossed and turned aside and dashed ahead and -driven back—beautiful in its confusion .and confused in it® beauty. In the carpeted aisles of the forest, in the woods fr#tn which the eternal shadow isnever lifted, on the shore of the sea over whose iron coast tosses the tangled foam sprinkling the cracked cliffs with a baptism of whirlwind and tempest, is the best place to study God, but in the rushing, swarming, raving street is the best place to study man. Going down to your place of business ^nd coming borne again I charge you to look aboiit—see these signspf poverty, of wretchedness, of hunger, of sin, of bereavement—and a9 you go through the streets and come back through therstreets, gather up in the Arms of your prayer all the sorrow, all the,losses, all the sufferings, all the bereavements of those whom you pass And present them in prayer before an all sympathetic God. In the great day of eternity thpre will be thousands of persons with whom you in this world never exchanged one word who will rise up and call you blessed, and there will be a thousand fingers pointed at .you in Heaven, saying: “That is the man. that is the woman, who helped me when I was hungry and sick and wandering and lost and heartbroken. That i9 the man, that is the woman.” And the blessing will come down upon you as Christ 6hall say: “I was hungry, and ye fed me; I was naked, and ye clothed me; I was sack ind in prison, and ye visited me. Inasmuch as ye •did it to these poor waifs of the street, ye did it to me.” Again, the street impresses me with the fact that all classes and conditions of society must commingle. We sometimes culture a wicked exclusiveness. Intellect despises ignorance. Refine

Gloves band, and the hi; the flat head, and will have nothing t copsewood, and A itl:j to do with tcjjthe sunburned forehead demises he rim hedgerow d with the wild «<j hates Nazareth.

The chemist roust come awjjjiy from his laboratory, where he! hsf|» been studying analysis and synthlesifl and help us to understand the naturi of the soils.

If I had open the beams hops I would fir it a skeleton; there is a smael g that floated in victory from the ^mnfiihead. But that man is more of a cur >sity who has gone through 30 years if the sharpshooting of business life a d yet sails on, victor over the tempta‘Sons of the street-. Oh, how many h ve gone down under the pressure, lerjling not so much as the patch ofjpn|as to tell where they perished! JFhiey lever had any peace. Their dishonesties kept tolling in their n ax and could split f that fine house, perin the very heart of i his very best wine of poor man’s sweat. Oh. is it strung*: that when a man has devoured widow!houses ho is disturbed with indigestion? All the forces of nature are a ainst him. The floods are ready to dr wn him and the earthquake to swallcf v him and the fires to consume hirp end the lightnings to smite him.

Mighhy": were their temptations, mighty was heir deliverance, and mighty shall lg|i their triumph. Again, the street impresses me with the fact tlfut life is full of pretension and sham. V: hat subterfuge, what double deallnil. what two-facedness! Do all people ho wish you good morning really h'ojp for you-a happy day? Do all 'people who shake hands love each other? Are all those anxious about your Health who inquire concerning it ? Ijfoiair want to see you who ask you toj cjfdl?

Again, the street impresses me with that it is a great field for the »fact ness m chiefly Christiaff charity. There are hunger and sufl ring and want and wretchedthe country, but these evils ongregate in our great cities. crime prowls and ness staggers and shame nd pauperism thrusts out its hand a; king for aims. Here want is most s< ualid and hunger is most lean. A Chri tian man going along a street in Nev York saw a poor lad, and he stoope and said: “My boy, do you On eve: ? street drunke winks know tow to read and write?” The boy no de no answer. The man asked

! the question twice and thrice: “Can you read and Write?” and then the boy answered with a tear plashing on the back of his hand. Be said, in defiance: “No, sir; I can’t read nor write neither. God, sir, don’t want me to read and write. Didn’t lie take away father so long ago I never retoember to have seen him. and haven’t I had-to go along the streets to get .something to fetch home to eat for the folks, and didn’t I. as soon as I could carry a basket, have to go Out and pick up cinders and never hawe no schooling, sir? God don’t want me to read. sir. 1 can’t read nor write neither.” Oh, these poc r wanderers! They have ho chance. 1 Born in degradation, as they get up 1 from their hands and knees to walk, they take their fir^t step on the road to despair. Let us go forth in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to rescue them. Let us ministers not be afraid | of soiling our black clothes while we go down on thah mission. While we are tying an elaborate knot, in our cravat or while we are in the study ; rounding off some period rhetorically j we might be saving a soul from deathand hiding a multitude of sins. Oh. j Christian laymeij, go out on this work. | If you are not w illing to go forth yo<ur- ! self, then give of your means, and if you are too stingy to help, then get-out of the way and hide yourself in the i dens and eaves of the earth, lest when ; Christ’s chariot conies along the horses’ hoofs trample' you into the , mire. Beware lest the thousands of I the destitute of your city, In the last j great day, rise up and curse your stu- ' pidity and your neglect. Down to work! Lift them up! » ’ j

une com winter s day. ns aLthrastian man was going along the Battery in New York, he saw a little girl seated at the gate, shivering in the cold. Be said to her: “My child, what do you sit there for this cold day?” “Ok,* she rereplied, “I am waiting—I am waiting for somebody to come and take care of me.” “Way,” said the man, “what makes you think anybody will come and take care of you?” “Oh,” she said, “my mother died last week, and I was crying very much..and she said: ‘Don’t cry, dear. Though I am gone and your father is’:gone. the Lord will send somebody to takelcare of you.’ My mother never told a lie. She said some one would come and take, care of me, and I am waiting for them to come.” Oh. yes, they are waiting for you. Men who have money, men who have influence, men of churches, men of great hearts,1 gather them in, gather them in. It is not the will of your Heavenly Father that one of these little oues should perish. Lastly, the street impresses me with the fact that all the people are looking forward. I see expectancy written on almost every face I meet. Where you find a thousaud people walking straight on^you only find one man stopping and looking back. The fact is. God made us all to look ahead, because we are immortal. In this tramp of the multitude on the street I hear the tramp of a great host marching and marching for eternity. Beyond the office, the store, the shop, the street, there is a world, populous and tremendous. Through God’s grace, may you reach that blessed place. A great throng fills those boulevards, and the streets are a-rush with the chariots of conquerors. The inhabitants go up and down, but they never weepland they never toil. A river flows through the city, with rounded and luxurious banks, and the trees of life, laden with everlasting fruitage, bend their branches into the crystal. A’o plumed hearse rattles over that pavement, for they are never sick. With immortal health glowing in every vein, they know not how to die. Those towers of strength, those palaces of beauty, gleam in the light of a sun that,never sets. Oh. Heaven, beautiful Heaven! Heaven, where our friends are! j They take no census in that city, for it is inhabited by “a multitude which no man can number.” Bank above rank. Host above hosl. Gallery above gallery sweepingall around the heavens. Thousands of thousands, millions of millions. Blessed are they who enter in through the gate into that city. Oh. start for it to-day! Through the blood of the great sacrifice of the Son,of God take up your march to Heaven. “The Spirit and the bride say, Come, and whosoever Wil| let him come and take the water of life freely.” JSn^this great throng marching Heavenward. All the doors of invitation are open. “And I saw twelve gates, and the twelve gates were twelve pearls.”

HEAD OF A NUMEROUS FAMILY John Chandler Is Father, Grandfather and Great-Grahtlfathcr to ltd Persons. To be the head of a family of 162 persons is a record seldom falling’ to the lot of man. But such is the case with John Chandler, who resides in Allen county, Ky. This gentleman is the father of 29 children,; 21 of whom are now living and have families. These 21 children have an average Of five children t-o each family, thus making Mr. Chandler the grandfather of 105 persons. But this is not the full extent of his offspring, for he has 35 great-grandchildren. So it will be seen that Mr. Chandler stands paterfamilias of 162—an achievement rarely equaled. Mr. Chandler is a remarkable man in several other respects. Although 75 years of age, and residingin the hills of Allen county, he reads current literature and keeps h&hself informed on the leading topics oh the day. He is an expert rifle shot, ahd» spends a great’ deal of his time squirrel hunting. Want Mar 14 Specially Remembered.

He whs attended by his private physician. Dr. Torn*, Sarkisian, and Drs. Hicks and Paschal, local physicians, who. with his grand son, Mr. R R. McCormick, were present at the bedside at the time of him death. He was fully conscious to‘the last moment, and was composed and m- ; tional. He said to Dr. Sarkisian tea minutes before he breathed his tas*: “My last words shall be. what is the news?” He asked tt» have the m» rnir x papers read to him, aud evinced the liveliest interest in current news, fts l>eeially foreign dispatches rtluCng lo affairs in the Philippines.

His remains will lie embalmed and sent at once to Chicago. His daughters Mrs. Robert McCormick, and Mrs. Pat- | erson. who were on their way to'Sar Antonio, were informed of his death en route, and have returned to Chicago.

find l.ouic Been an Invalid. Qucago, Mhrch 1?.—Mr. MwKIl hn I been an invalid for three years. TV ? death of his daughter, Josephine, Tn Paris, and later his wife, in C:ihfornm, proved a severe shock. He had spent his winters there many years in a move congenial climate than Chicago offer*. He mrst selected southern California, but after the death of Mrs. Medill \e gave up the coast. Last winter ho went to Thomasville, Ga. In December las’he selected San Antonio, and, accompanied by his grandson, made the Texas resort his winter home. > The end came suddenly Wednesday night young McCormick telegraphed that Mr. .Medill was critically ill, but later said he had rallied. The great editor’s end was painless. His two sons-ir.-law. R. W. Patterson and R. Si McCormick. are now on the way to San Antonio. The body will be brought to Chicago and buried in Graeelanc*. Despite his 76 years Mr. Medill was in the harness to the last: He was one of the hardest workers on the Tribunehis daily output of copy and reprint averaging three columns. IPs last “copy.” with the famous mark. “Must, J. M.,” a mark that night editors can never forget, was a story of tlid “Ala • mo,” scissored, pasted and partly rewritten. Neither time nor distance could stop him from guiding and writ ing for his paper. Mr. Medill died several times a millionaire. He owned 57 per cent, of the Tribune stock, and it was said be was offered $3,000,000 for his holdings. He had large real estate and bond nves;ments. He leaves two daughters, Mr-. R. \Y. Patterson and Mrs. It. 8. McCormick. Telegrams of condolence have been received by the family from President McKinley. Senators Hanna, Cullom, Mason and many other political leaders. There is a genuine feeling of regreat among all Chicagoans. Mr. Medill was recognized as .» sturdy, independent, a hard fighter and a fast friend of the west, lie was the last of the great war editors* but kept pace with the evolution in modern journalism. Sympathy of the President. New Orleans, March 17.—Robert Patterson, manager of the Chicago Tribune, who married one of Joseph Mcdill's daughters, and who was on his way to his father-in-law’s bedside, reached New Orleans last night, to be met by the news that Mr. Medill was dead. He received the following telegram from the president, at L’homasville, Ga.: Please convey to the family of Mr. Medill the sincere sympathy of Mrs. McKinley and myself in their great bereavement. \vm. McKinley. SKETCH OF JOSEPH MElMLL. drought Lincoln Before the People as* a Presidential Possibility. Joseph Medill was born on April 6. 1S23, and but for the Ashburtoii-Webster treaty, which ceded disputed territory from Maine to New Brunswick, he would have been by birth a citizen of the United States. His parents were Scptch-Irish residents of Ireland, who emigrated to the banks of the St. Johns iTi^er in 1819. In 1S32 they removed to a farm near Massillon, O., where the boy grew to manhood. His education was received in the common schools. In 1844 he entered the law office of Hiram Griswold, and was admitted to the bar in 1846. The next year he opened an office in New Philadelphia, O., having as a partner George W. McTlvain, who afterward became chief justice of the Ohio supreme court. In 1849 he gave up his practice and established the Cosehocton Republican, which he conducted for three years as a free soil-whig paper. In 1852 he moved to Cleveland, where he founder the Daily Forest City, in which he repudiated the Baltimore platform, while supporting Gen. Wihfield Scott for the presidency. After the defeat of Scott he merged his paper with the True Democrat, and thus became the founder bf the Cleveland Leader of to-day. In 1S54 Mr. Medill sold the Cleveland Leader and w'ent to Chicago with his associate, J. C. Vaughan. Wit i Dr. C. H. Ray, of Galena, they bought the Chicago Tribune, a paper which had been established eight years before, ant which then had a circulation of 1,200 cop^s. For ten years Mr. Medill was managing editor of the paper. Through the personal and editorial influences of Mr. Med 11 the name of Abraham Lincoln was brought before the people as a presidential :>ossibility in “the dark days foreshadowi ng the ’civil war. In 1869 Mr. Medill was chosen as a member of the Illinois constitutional convention, and in the spring following the great fire Mr. Medill was elected mayor of Chicago.,1 Mr. Medill appointed Murray F. Tuley as corporation counsel, and set the present judge to framing an amended charter which went to the legislature as the "Mayor’s” bill. With a few alterations the state lawmakers passed the bill. Much of the municipal machinery of to-day was built by Mayor Medill, or was evolved largely through his efforts. In September, 1875. a few weeks before the expiration of his term, Mr. Medill resigned the mayoralty and departed upon an extended trip for rest and recreation. In 187:- h.t was appointed by President Grant to a place on the first civil sendee commission, of which the late George William Curtis *was chairman. During the last few years, because of failing health, Mr. Medill had practically allowed the management of his naper to pass into younger hands.
