The lullilel Orator Meet lib Match In Beautiful Khetorlc An Opponent Who L'aes His Uwn Wetous. Philadelphia. Hecord. No one who has ever heaid Robert In gersoll lecture will deny that ho is a rare orator. His word-painting is wonderful, his eloquence entrancing. Thus far in bis crusade against Christianity th s skeptic has appeared in tho eyes of his followers a giant against pigmies. He has on countered an adversary, however, seem ingly in every way his equal, even iu his own pcculiaiities of ihetorie, to judge from tho following extract from a sermon deliveietl on last Sunday, on tho occasion of tho dedication of the Church of the Annunciation at Kansas City, Mo., by Rev. Father David S. Phelau, of St Louis, well known as the editor of the Western Watchman. Having asserted that " the idea of the f-oul and the faith in its immortality must have come down from above, as eaith could not have taught it, nor could death have icspiicd it," thoicveieud father said : 'If there is no heteafter, then life is om long debauch, a:id tho highest education is to know how to iiud and how best to enjoy pleasure. If there is no hereafter, virtue is a deceit, and luioiiin is a lie. See that young man bleeding from a hundied wounds. He died in defense of a sister's honor If there is no hereafter, that noblct. of deeds will go forever unre warded See that jouug sister in the hospital bending over a victim of tho plague ; to morrow she will succumb, and a rapid ride and a hasty sepultute will re ward her devotion. If there is no here after, her charitv met a sorry lcquital. See that man holding an affrighted child at the window of a burning building. He holds it long enough for a sturdy Com panion to jna it from below, and ho then falls back into his fiery tomb. If thcio is no hereafter, such sacrifice is heartless and ui meaning ciuelty, Seo that troop of soldicis marching by to tho beating of thedium. Their couutiy has called, and thev go to defend her honor ou tho battle field. They follow that flag into the thick of tho fight, and when tho bugle sounds the retreat few return from tho carnage. Those biave soldiers died with their faco to tho foe, and a smile was stamped on their featuics iu death. If there is no hereafter, their heroism was suioido and their coinage a mockery of fate. Eaithly life is closed in 'death ; tho gravo terminates all cousoit and association with things of time, but, waftcJ above- tho bier, the wieck, tho lomb, floats the sweet voice, of God, saying : 'I am tho life.' " Contrast tho above with the following from one of Colonel Iu;er.soil's lectures, aud, beautiful aud tender as in tho lan guage of the infidel orator, that of Father Phelau loses nothing by the comparison : "Next to cteinn! joy ; next to being foicvcr with those wo love and those who havo loved us ; next to that is to be wrap ped in tho dieamliko drapery of otcrual death. Upon tho shadowy shoro of death the sea of tumble casts no wave. Eyes that have been cuitaiued by tho everlast ing daik will never know again tho touch of tears. Lips tint have bien touched by tho eternal silcnej will never nlUr an other woul of giitf. ilesilsof dust do not bicak. Tho de.nl do not weep. The Kansas City Journal publishing the seimon, sajs that its subject matter was only equaled by the grace and charm of its tlcliveiy. It is haidly likely that Mi". Mr. Iugcrool! will attempt to ihliculo this Catholic p;iest, as he has so inauy as. sumed defenders of the Christian faith. F.itlici Phelau is apparently a different adveisaiy fiora some of the pulpit moun tebanks Mr. I'jgeisoll ha3 encountered, whoso Uiivtling bcntiincut and limping logic do more to injuro the cause of lelig ion than even Mr. Ingei soil's insidious art aud eloquent periods. Father Phelau is master of the weapons Mr. Iugcisoll uses, aud the iufilcl orator must cat p)nidgo from his own dish in au encounter with this KnigLt of the Cross. ASIfsSNUCK KOS'S FOKTUKR. OutHlttlUK the M;indnrl Oil Voinpany ami JlalUiij;!40,000. Cincinnati Inquirer. The Standard Oil company, tho iinly concern in tho world that is powerful enough to compel the combined trunk iino railroads to do its bidding, demanding aud receiving fiom them rates which made opposition impossible and crushed out every rival, has lately been beaten by a messenger boy. Iu tho history of tho Staudaid this is the only timo it has ever beeu outwitted. Tom Scott, when alive and president of tho Pennsylvania rail road, was outgeneraled by the Standard. Vanderbilt aud his allies wero not a match for Rockefeller, and thoy were compelled to allow him rebates which enabled him to build up the greatest monopoly tho world h.is ever known. When ho got ready ho laid a pipe Hue of his own from the oil legions to Cleveland in one direc tion, and lioni tho oil regions to the tea boaid iu another diiection, aud then to d tho trunk line managers who had enriched him that they could go to that place wLcie the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched. But this man with his millions has been outwitted by Mike Keating, 1G yeais ol'J, a messenger boy of the Western Union telegiaph company at Oil City. Mike has been iu the employ of tho telegraph com pany since ho was old enough to carry dispatches, and nearly all of this tima Le has been in the oil exchange at Oil City, carrying messages to aud from tho brokers. Tho large operators in petroleum send their dispatches in cipher. Tho boy had carried so many messages sent by the Stan daid from its headquarters at Cleveland that he had unraveled the mystic characters and could read them like a printed page. Just prior to the recent extraordinary ad vance in the petroleum market, wheu tho price jumped in a few days fiom fifty cents to $l.o5, Keating carried a number of telegrams to tha Staudard's biokers, ot deiiug them to buy largo blocks of oil. Tho monopoly had laid its plaus to boom the mat ket and its Oil City brokers were ordered to buy cveiy thing. " liny half a million banels," bay a million barrels," buy two million barrels," were tho way these orders came in. They were riddles to all but tho brokeiR who received them and Miko Keating, tho messenger boy, who delivered them. Keating, although a niero boy, knjw something extraordinary was soon to happen. The market, which had becu like a stagnant pool lor ayear, was already creeping up tho scale. Orders for immense blocks of oil were still coming from the Standard's headquarters. There was no timo to lose. But what could a boy do without a dollar in his pocket? Keating went to ono of the largest operators on the floor cf the exchange, outside of the Standard's agent?, and told him ho had a " pointer " Th j broker laughed at him. Tho boy's earnestness finally comaanded attention and tho broker agrcol to his proposition, which was that tho broker should i'uu.i-h money lor a "deal," if ho was L-atiMicd with the information, and di vide the profits equally. Then tho men- serger told the broker what ho had and of the telegrams ho had been carrying fiom tho Standard's Cleveland office. The next message that fell Into tha boy's hands was carried secretly to tho broker and translated. It was an order to bay every thing that was offered. The broker prob ably swallowed to keep his heart down ; anyway, be went back to the exchange and began to buy. fie saw the Standard's agents baying right and left and was sat isGcd a big deal was in progress. He took everything ho could get until he had a lound million barrels. Tho market was already jumping fast and his million bar rels had been secured at an average pi ice of 72 cent.-'. Ho was loaded to the guard?. Orders to buy and orders to sell were pour ing id from every quarter and tho excite ment was becoming intense. The market was still bounding upward, with the usual fluctuations. Every time the price advanced a cent or declined a cent the broker saw a profit or a loss of 10,009. llokcpt his head, however, and when tho market scored above 80 cents he began to ualotd. The Standard men weie on baud to take everything, aud he got lid of all his oil at an average price ol SO cents a barrel. He had bought at 72 and his protits were therefore eight cents a barrel or 880.000 in all. lie divided equally with Mike Ivcatins, tho messenger boy who had un ravelled the Standard's cypher, accord ing to agreement. It n writ enough to remember that oil touched $1 'St (lining tho ten days' spurt, aud if thu broker had held on until tho top was reached the pro- fits of the two would have luon $030,000. ItKOcswith0utsa5iugth.it the Stand aid Oil compauy has a new cypher and ouc inesenircr boy is out ol a job. In tlie AVroi'C Drce. A large crowd was drawn together on South Second sheet. Piiil.uJe'phi:!, Sunday evening by the strange antics of a diunken German who, with a Lice-fringed petti ooat tied ab.mthis wiist and an old Mr.iwl thiown iu graceful ucgligco about his shoulders, a hi Jell Dtvis, was wandering aimlessly about. Ho was arrest id at Second aud German streets and taken to the second distiict station house, where he gave the name of Ficdciiok Wagener, aged twenty, and living at Ninth aud Green streets. F;cdeiick, who could speak very littlj English, was unable to explain how ho came to bo thus strangely apparelled; aud wept, bitterly over his an est. It is supposed that ho had been enticed into some of the numerous dens of tho neighborhood, and that tho inmates taking his coat as an equivalent, had put the other ai tides upon him and sent him forth for their own amusement. Tl.e police romoved the petticoat and Wakens r spent the uight iu a ceil. I'nldcinlc lGeltiiucuti'.

Everything that ladies or dressmakers have occasion for in matching; deco rating, combining. What we are remarkable for, more than for anything else in silks, is va riety ; or, at least, we are re puted so. You hear it said "by everybody: "If you want to match anything, or find a rare silk, even an unexpectable one, go to Wanamaker's." The odicr peculiarity that everybody expects to find here is less pleasant to speak of; lower prices. We put it second, because diere are people who don't credit us with lower prices. Still, we imagine that if one should assert i!u: con trary, almost everybody in Phil adelphia would believe it. Oftener we speak ot other aspects of our trade ; aspects less obvious or less recognized. It is well occasionally to give old news. Ncrt outer circle, south cnirancr lo main building.

The warm skirts are satin, satin-and-cloth, satin -and-felt, satin-and-Italian -cloth, and Italian, all quilted; cloth, flannel and felt prettily trimmed, not quilted, warm enough without. The leggings are all sorts ; one very useful and fairly pretty sort, woven, at two-thirds value, 25 to 65 cents. West of south entrance to main buiMin. Furs have to be thought of.
