A SERMON FOR .ASCENSION DAY. His Miracles so Many Powerful Lessons Teaching God's Truth. 2AITH STILL THE GREAT COMFORTER israelii, txuokax to rns Disr.iTcn.1 Brooklyn, May 1L After reading ap propriate passages of Scripture, and the usual prayers and musical exercises, Dr. Talmage preached the following sermon, in the Academy of Music, this morning, from the words, "Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in." Psalms xxiv, 7. In olden times when a great conqueror re turned from victorious war. the people in wild transport would take hold of the Rates of the city and lift them from their binges, as much as to say "This city needs no more gates to defend it since this conqueror has got home. Off from the binceswith the gatesr' David, who was the poet of poets, foretells in his own way the triumphal entrance of Christ into heaven,af ter His victory over sin and death and hell. It was as if the celestial inhabitants bad said: "Here He comes! Make way for Him! Push back the bolts of diamond! Take hold ot the pates of pearl and hoist them from their binges of gold! Lift up your heads, O j e gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; ana the King ot Glorv shall come in." Among the mountains of Palestine no one is more uplifting than Mount Olivet. It was the peroration of our Lord's ministry. On the roof of a house in Jerusalem I asked "Which is OlivetT" and the first glance transfixed me. Hut how shall I de-enbe my emotions when, near the close of a journey, in which we bad for to nights encamped amid the shattered ma sonry of old Jericho, and tasted of the acrid waters of the Dead Sea, that crystal sarcopha gus of the buried cities of the plain, and waded down into the deep and swift Jordan to baptize a man, and visited tbe ruins of tbe house ol Alary and Martha and Lazarus, we found our selves In stirrups and on horse, lathered with the long and difficult way, ASCENDING MOUNT OLIVET. Oh, that solemn and suggestive ridge! Jt is a limestone bill, a mile in length, and 300 feet high, and 2,700 feet above the level of the sea. Over it King David fled with a broken heart. Over it Ponipey led his devastating hosts. Here the famous Tenth Legion built their batteries in besiegement. The Garden of Ucth semane weeps at the foot of it. Along the base of this bill flashed tbe lanterns and torches of those who came to arrest Jesus. From the trees on this bill the boughs were torn off and thrown into the path of Christ's triumphal procession. Up and down that road Jesus had walked twice a day fiom Bethany to Jerusalem, and from Jerusalem to Bethany. There again and again. He had taught His disciples. Half way up this mount lie uttered His lamentation. "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem!" From its heights Jesus took flight homeward when He had finished His earthly mission. There is nothing more for Him to do. A sacrifice was needed to make peace between the recreant earth and the outraged heaven, and He had oflered it. Death needed to be conquered, and H e had put His resurrection foot upon it. The 33 years of voluntary exile had ended. The grandest, tenderest, mightiest goodby ever beard was now to be uttered. On Mount Olivet Jesus stands In a group of Galilee fishermen. They had been together In many scenes of sadness and persecution and bad been tl.e more endeared by that brother hood of suffering. They had expected Him to stay until the day ol coronation When He would take tbe earthly throne and wave a scepter mightier, and rule a dominion wider than any Pharaoh, than any David, than any Cscsar. But now all these anticipations col lapse. Christ has given His last advice. He has offered His last sympathy. He has spoken His last word. His hands are spread apart as one is apt to do when he pronounces a benediction, when suddenly the strongest and most stupendous law of all worlds is shattered. It is tbe law which, since the worlds were created, holds them together. That law ot gravitation must now give way to Him who made the law. It may hold the other stars, but it cannot longer hold tbe Morning Star of tbe Redemption. Itmayhold the noonday sun, but it cannot bold the Sun of Righteousness. Tbe fingers of that law are about to open to let go the most illustrious Being tbe world had ever seen, and whom it had worst maltreated. The strongest law of nature which philosophers ever weighed or measured must at last givo way. It will break between the rock of Olivet - and tbe heel of Christ's foot Watch it, all je disciples! Watch it, all tbe earth! THE LORD'S ASCENSION. Leaning back, and with palid cheek and up lifted eyes, the disciples see their Lordrlsing from the solid earth. Then, rushing forward tbey would grasp His feet to hold Him fast, but they are out of reach, and It is too late to detain Him. Higher than the tops of tbe fig trees from which they had plucked the fruit Higher than tbe olive trees that shaded the mount Higher, uutil He is within sight of the Bethlehem where He was born, and the Jordan where He was baptized, and the Gol gntha where He was slain. Higher, until on stairs oi neecy cloud He steps. Higher, until, intoa sky bloerthantbelake that could notsink Him,He disappears into a sea of glory whose bil lowing splendors hide Him. The fishermen watch and v.atch. wondering if tbe law of nature will not reassert itself, and He shall in a few moments come back again and tbey shall see Him descending; first his scarred feet com ing in sight then the scarred brow, and tbey may take again His scarred band. But the moments pass by, and tbe hours, and no ap pearance. Gone out of sight of earth, but come within sight of heaven. And rising still, not welcomed by one angelic choir like those who one Christmas night escorted Him down, but all heaven turns out to greet Him home, and the temples have especial anthem, and the palaces especial banquet and the streets especial throngs; and all along the line to tbe foot of tbe throne, for years vacated but now again to be taken, there are arches lifted, ana banners waved, and trumpets sounded, and doxoiogies chanted and coronets cast down. The angels throng'd Ills chariot wheels. And bore Him to His throne Then swept their golden harps and sung, The glorious work It done." It was the greatest day in heaven! As He goes up the steps of the famed throne that 33 j ears before He abdicated for our advantage there rises from all the hosts of heaven a shout. siiatly.:chernblc, seraphic, archangelic. Hallelujab! Amen!" O Rarden or olives, thou dear honored spot The fame of thy glory shall ne'er be forgot No wonder that for at least 1,400 years the churches have, 40 davs after Easter, kept As cension Day; for tbe lessons are most Inspiring and glorious. It takes mueh of the uncer" tainty out of the iaea of beaven, when from Olivet we see human nature ascending. The same body that rose from Joseph's tomb as cended from Mount Olivet Our human nature JfIl ,?eaTeV'da!:,Just as they had seen L . for v i15!-He ascended, beaa. face, shoulders, hands feet, and tbe entire human organism. Humanity ascended! Ah how closely that keeps Christ in s mpathy with those who are still in the struggle! Ascended scars, face scars, hand scars, feet scars, shoul der scars! a bat will keep Him in accord with all the suffering, with all the weary w Mall the imposed-upon. '' Kn " HE LEADS US UPWAED. Mo more is He a spirit now than a body; no more of heaven than earth. Those of the celes tial Inhabitants who never saw our world, now walk around Him and learn from His physical contour something of what our race w li be when, in the resurrection, heaven will have un counted bodies as well as uncounted spirits. On Ascen- oa Day he lifted Himself through the atmosphere of Palestine until, amid the immensities. He disappeared. He was the only being the world ever saw who could lift Him self. Surely, if He could lift Himself, He can do tbe lesser deed of lifting us. o star goes down hot climbs another sky. No sun sets here exccpvto rise on high. Christ leads us all tbe war; through tbe birth hour, for He was born in Bethlehem; through boyhood, for He passed it in Nazareth; through Injustices, for He endured tbe outrages of Pilate's court room: through death, for He suffered it on Calvary: through the sepulchre, for He lay three days within its darkened walls; through resurrection, for the solid luatonry gave way on the first Eastef morulng; through ascension, for Mount Olivet watched Him as He climbed the skies: thromrh the shining gates, for He entered them amid mag nifirent acclaim. And here is a gratifjing con sideration that you never thought of: We will see onr Lord just as He looked on earth, as He rose irom the tomb He ascended from Mount Olivet We shall see Him as He looked on the rad to Emmaus, as He appeared in the unpcr room in Jerusalem, as He was that day .f valedictory on the ridge from which He swung intn the skies. How much we will want to see Him! I was reading of a roan born blind. He was roamed to one who took care of him all those Cays of darkness. A surgeon said to him: "I can remove that blindness." and m hMrf -n t. fight given him, a rose was handed to the man who never before had seen a rose and be was in admiration of it and his family, whom be had never seen before, now appeared to blra. and he was In tears of rapture, when be sud denly cried out: "I ought first to have asked to see the one who cured me: show me the doctor." When trom our eyes the scales of earth shall fall, and we have OUE FIEST VISION OF HEAVEN,, our first cry'ought not to be, "Where are my loved onesT" Our first cry ought to he, "Where is Christ, who made all this possible? Show me tbe Doctor!" Glory be to God for ascended bumanltyl Could we realize It, and that it is all in sympathy for us, we would have as cool a courage In the conflict of this life as had Charles the Twelfth when he was dictating dis patches to his secretary, and a bombshell fell into the room, and tbe secretary dropped his Sen and attempted flight. Charles said to im: "Go on with your writing! what has the bombshell to d with the letter I am dictat ing?" If the ascended Christ be on our side, nothing should disturb us. Our fellow-sufferer et retains A fellow-feeling In our natns. And still remembers in the skies. His tears. His agonies, and cries. I am so glad that Christ broke the natural law of gravitation when He shook off from His feet the Hutch of Mount Olivet People talk as though cold. iron, unsympathetic, natural law controlled everything. The reign of law is a majestic thing, hut the God who made it has iicubioDreaE it ana again ana again iias broken it, and again and again will break it A law is only God's way of doing things, and if He chooses to do them some other way. He has a right to do so. A law is not strong enough to shackle the Almighty. Christ broke botanical law when, one Monday morning in March, on the wav trom Bethany to Jerusa lem, by a f -w words He turned a full-leaved fig tree into a lifeless stick. He broke ichthyological law when, witbont any natural inducement, He swung a great school of fish intoa part of Lake Tiberias, where the fishermen had cast their nets for eight or ten hours without the capture of a minnow; and by making the fish help pay the tax by yielding from its mouth a Roman sta ter. Christ broke the law of storms by com pelling, with a word, the angered sea to hush its frenzy and the winds to quit their bellowing. He broke zoological law when He made the devils possess the swine ot Gadara. He broke tbe law of economics when He made enough bread for 5,000 people out of five biscuits that w-ould not ordinarily have been enough for ten of tbe hungry. He broke intellectual law when, by a word. He silenced a maniac Into placidity. HIS MIRACULOUS DEEDS. He broke physiological law when, by a touch, He straightened a woman who. for 18 years bad been bent almost double, and when He pot- spring into the feet of inhumated Lazarus, and when, without medicine. He gave the dying girl back in health to tbe Syro-Phoenlcian mother, and when He made the palatial home of tbe nobleman resound again with the laughter of his restored boy, and when, with out knife or battery. He set cataracted eyes to seeing again, and tbe drum of deaf ears to vibrating again, and tbe nerves of paralyzed arms to thrilling again, and then when in leav ing the earth He defied all atmospheric law and physiological law, and that law which has in it withes and cables and girders enough to hold the universe, the law of gravitation. The Christ who proved Himself on so many occasions, ana especially the last superior to law, still lives; and every day, in answer to prayer for the good of the world. He is over ride t the law. Blessed be God that we are not the subjects of blind fatality, but of a sympa thizing divinity. Have you never seen a typhoid fever break, or a storm suddenly quiet, or a ship a-beam's-end right Itself, or a fog lift, or a parched sky break in showers, or a per plexity disentaneled, or tbe inconsolable take solace, or the wayward reform at the call of prayerf I have seen it; multitudes have seen it You have, if you have been willing to see it Deride not the faith cure. Because im postors attemnt it is nothingagainst good men whom God hath honored with marvelous restorations. Pronounce nothing impossible to prayer and trust. Because you and I cannot effect it is no reason whv .others mav nnt By the same argument I could prove that Raphael never painted a Madonna, and that Mendelssohn never wrote an oratio, and that Phidias never chiseled a statue. Because we cannot accomplish it ourselves, we are not to conclude that others may not There are in im mensity great ranges of mists which have proved, under closer telescopic scrutiny, to be tbe storehouse of worlds, and I do not know but from that passace in James, which, to soma of us is yet misty and dim, there may roll out a new heaven and a new earth. "The prayer of faith shall save the sick." The faith-cunsts may, IN THIS 'WAB AGAINST DISEASE, be only skirmishing before a general engage ment In which all the maladies of earth shall be routed. Surely, allopathy and homeopathy and hydropathy and electrlcism need reinforce ment from somewhere. Why not from the faith and prayer of the consecrated? The mightiest school of medicine' may yet be the school of Chrisr. J do not know hut that dis eases, now by all schools pronounced Incurable, may give way under goxpel bombardment I do not know but that the day may come when faith and praj er shall raise the dead. Strauss and Woolston and Spinoza and Hume and Schleiermacber rejected tbe miracles of the far past I do not propose to be like them, and reject the miracles or the far future. This I know, the Christ of Ascension Day is mightier than any natural laws, for on the day of which I speak He trampled down the strongest of them all. Law is mighty, but He who made it is mightier. Drive out fatalism from your theology, and give grace the throne. Standing to-day on the Ascension peak of Mount unvet I am also gladdened at the clos ing gesture, tbe last gesture Christ ever made. "He lifted up His hands and blessed them," says the inspired account of our Lord's de parture. I am so glad He lifted up His bands. Gestures are often mora significant than words, attitudes than arguments. Christ had made a gesture pf contempt when with His finger He w rote on the ground: gesture of repulsion when He said. "Get thee behind me, Satan:" gesture of condemnation when He said. "Woe unto you, Pharisees and hypocrites." But His last gesture. His Olivetic gesture, is a gesture of benediction. He lifted up His hands and blessed them. His arms are extended, and the Ealms of His hands turned downward, and so le dropped benediction upon Olivet, bene diction upon Palestine, benediction upon all tbe earth. Tbe cruel world took Him in at the start on a cradle of straw, and at last thrust Him out with tbe point of the spear; but benediction! Ascending until beneath. He saw on one side tbe Bethlehem where they put Him among the cattle, and Calvary on the other side, where they put him among the thieves. As far as tho excited and intended vision of tbe group on Olivet could see Him, and after He was so far up they could no longer hear His words, they saw the gesture of the outspread hands, the And that is DOMESTIC MARKETS.

L III 60812 00 Wheat Nervous and Irregnlnr July and May Higher Operators Afraid of the Crop Report Pork Dnll and Strndy. CHICAGO Wheat Tradintr was onlte actire again, but the volume of business was not so large as during the preceding three or four days. The feeling developed was very nervous and operators anxiously awaited tbe Govern ment report Prices were very irregular and covered a very wide range It was difficult to do any business ih May and trading in June was also rather Unsatifactory. Trading cen tered principally in July, with increasing busi ness in the more deferred futures. The open ing for July was IXQlJic higher than yester day's closing, but quickly weakened and prices declined with numerous small fluctuations 2Xc from top prices, ruled very irregular with in the established range, and closed c higher than yesterday. May wheat closed about XQic higher and June about tho same as yesterday, There was nothing really in outside news to have caused the unsettled feeling which ex isted, but the uncertainty of the Government report made operators undecided which course to pursue, though the declining prices induced many operators to sell. There was heavy real izing during the session. Rain was reported in tbe Northwest Tbe condition of wheat in California, it was claimed, was 65 against 71 last month. St Louis also sent in some bullish news, claiming that the crop of Missouri was reported 25 per cent short of an average. Corn was fairly" active and unsettled, the market ruling firm early and weak later. Offer ings were heavy from all Quarters, the countrv Belling freely, as well as local warehousemen and room traders. The demand was confined mainly to short!. Receipts were light, and this and wet weather tended to bold up values, though the firm opening was due to tbe ad vance in wheat at that time The trade cen tered in July, and there was heavy trading in this month around 35. Tbe market opened Xc better than the closing prices of yester day, but soon became weaker, and declined, with slight reactions, Xc. rallied a little, ruled steady and closed &c better than yesterday Oats were fairly active but unsettled, but the volume of trade failed to reach the magnitude 01 yesteraay. ine opening was nrmer ana x Vyic higher on the leading futures, owing to cold, wet weather, and higher prices for wheat and corn. The highest prices were recorded at tbe opening, but were not maintained long, as the demand was not large enough, and the offerings became free. May declined lc, June Xc and July Xc, and closed at nearly in side figures. Pork Very little was doing. Prices ruled steady. Trading was confined almost exclu sively to July aelivery. Lard Trading was limited, and only slight changes were reported. Short nb sides Only,a moderate trade was reported.

Netv York. May ia-The stock market to day, during its session, maintained the large volume of business. The .market, how ever, had a tired look, and prices sagged away during the greater portion of tho session, al though the general feeling Is still very bullish and tbe undertone remains strong. Texas Pa cific, on the favorable comments from Mr. Gould, was active at advancing figures, while the rest of the list, as a rule, were sagging away. The active leatures were Atcnison, Missouri Pacific Texas Pacific, Richmond, and West Point St Paul, and the Trusts. The only really strong features of the day however was Cleveland. Cincinnati, Chicago and St Louis, which made a sharp spurt in the last few minutes' trading and rose per cent while Pacific Mail was tbe weak point in tbe list dropping away upon certain election rumors. The uncertainty as to the complexion ofthebabk statement made the traders in clined to follow tbe lead of the bears and the demand was not quite sufficient to meet the pressure, but after the bank statement was issued there was a dispostion to tako in tbe short lines nut out earlier, and a smart rally occurred in the last few minutes' trading although the losses were not made up. The close was active, and strong generally at small fractions below last night's figures. Pacific Mail declined IK percent but this with the rise in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St Louis, were the only important changes for the day. Kallroad bonds continued to exhibit the marked activity of the past few days, and the sales for the two hours were 51,895,000, ont of which the Texas Pacific seconds furnished 417,000, tbe Iron Mountain was S20o,C00, the Wabash seconds S179.000 and the St Louis.

May 10, 189a ( The harness leather trade has been very active tbe past week and prices bare been advanced two cents per pound all along tbe line. A representative of one of our leading Allegheny harness leather tanneries said to day: "The active trade for which we have been longing is now here. Orders are com ing in so fast that we have been compelled to refuse outside of our regular customers. The advance on harness leather agreed to a day or two ago by all the tanneries of Alle gheny is the first we have had these two yeaisormore. During all that tlme.markets have been weak and the tendency hasheen in the main toward lower prices. Now the tide has evidently turned toward stronger market "Last summer stock accumulated in the hands of tanners. There is no likelihood of any such accumulation this season. Orders now in and others in sight insure the absorption of all our products at the advance. What is true of our markets is true all over the country. From all harness leather manufacturing centers comes the information that stock is cleaned up more closely than it has been foryears. All light leathers are also active in the East" There has, as yet been no advance in sole leather, but with the advance in hides the up ward movement all along the line of leather on harness leather, as furnished by James Callcry t Co.: Ho. 1 extra trace selection, weights 20 to 27 lbs.. 34 No. B extra trace selectlon,welghts20to271bs..31 No. 1 medium selection, weights 17 to 22 lbs 31 No. B medium selection, weights 17 to 22 lbs 29 No. 2, all weights ,. -Jl Black line leather, made lrom Vag heads and bellies, split to an even substance 27 floe harness backs 55 Fine finished rein leather, russet and stained 84perdox Fine finished bridle leather, rnsset and stained 43c per lb Hides -nnd Calfskins. Along with tbe great activity in harness and light leather comes an advance in hides, which goes into effect on Monday, May 12. From that time on there will be an advance of c per pound on all hides, and lc advance on calf skins. There has been all this season abetter demand for calfskins than for a year or two. The foot wear of the fathers which has been displaced to a great extent by split leather, ap pears, to be coming again into vogue, as evi denced by a growing demand for calfskins. Tbe activity has brought an advance, and the end of the upward movement is not yet. The upward movement of hides started with the recent advance in cattle. One of our leading hide dealers, who was in Ohio last week and came into competition with Cleveland buyers, learned that dealers of that city had already caught on to the advance. Tbe trade here has now swung into line with the stronger prices, and no such low rates are likely to prevail for tbe next year or two as those prevailing tor a year or two past Fricea on Tanners Stock. ' Following are the rates to go into effect Mon day, as furnished by John H.

The organization of a consumers' league by the Working 'Woman's Association of New York City, whose object will be the amelioration of the lot of the shop girl, and will be gained through systematized boycot ting of employers who are not kind to their employes, does not affect the equilibrium of Pittsburg merchants in the least. .Mr. Morris Baer, representing Kauf raanns', said yesterday to a reporter forTHE Dispatch, after readinga report of the pro- ceeamgs lnjew York: "Well.tt the girls are treated there as this report states, compelled to work over hours, and fined if a moment late, etc, etc, I think it is high time an action of that Kind was taken, but there is no comparison between the clerks in Pittsburg and the elerks in the metropo lis. There the demand is not as great as the supply, and consequently the waes are low and the duties numerous. In our store, of course I cannot speak for any other) we pay good wages, the lowest received by any lady in our employ being $8 a week and from that up to $18." "We con sider them just as good as men, and we do not expect as much of them in the way of work. They do not commence work until 8 o'clock and every night but Saturday .they leave at 6, and at 10 o'clock on Saturday night every lady is ready to leave the stores. Without doubt if such an action is taken in New York City it will be very effective in bringing the employers to their senses. Self-preservation will demand it." Mr. Baer further stated that no system of fines was used in their store. Mr. Durbin Home said he did not think sucha movement would ever be necessary in Pittsburg, as is proposed in New York, because the clerks here were treated better in every way. The hours in the famous Penn avenue store are from 7:30 to 6 except in July and August when the store closes at 5 o'clock. Mr. Home said an effort was made two years ago to close the store at 1 o'clock on Saturdays during July and August, but so many complaints came in from customers that the project had to be abandoned. The sales people com mence at a very low salary with them, but auickly workup, some getting as high as $25 a week and a percentage of sales be sides. Mr. Hanziger was urbane and "said: "I should be glad to see such a move ment in Pittsburg. I think girls that are deserving should be helped in every way possible." He refused to tell what salaries he paid, but said, however, that if a girl was not worth a good salary he.did not keep her be hind tbe counter. He'expressed himself as very proud of his lady employes, and still further speaking of the New York move ment, said he did not think it would be suc cessful, nothing attempted by ladies ever was, as they all wished to be generals.

Dridgewater was a trifle' weaker, and Chartiers decidedly so. The most pronounced advance of the day was made by Switch and Signal, which was bid up to 17 and offered at IS.

Things were quiet in local hanking circles Saturday, but for all that business was in a very satisfactory shape. Existing influences which are detrimental to the expansion of busi ness, and which are so well understood as not to need repetition here, aro on all sides re garded as temporary, and with their subsi dence there will come a revival of activity. There is no lack of moneynergy and skill in the country to make trade hum. The demand for discounts was only fair, and checking and depositing were of moderate proportions. Funds were abundant for the regular trade, and rales were steady and unchanged. There is no lack of 6 per cent money for gilt-edged paper. The Clearing House report was not quite so optimistic as usual; still, it was largely on tbe right side of the account, showing a gain In bank clearings for the week over those for the corresponding week in 18S9, of $2,700,000 in round numbers. This, without the aid of speculation, is cheering and encouraging. The reDort follows: Saturday's exchanges Baturday's balances Week's exchanges Previous week's exchanges,...

How n Prominent Prohibitionist Was Thrown 00 His Guard and His Feet A Drop Into it Cellar and a Drop Too Dlucb. The old gentleman was rotund of form and eminently respectable in outward ap pearance. His facade was adorned with a stupendous gold watch chain, and his gaudy dritb gaiters and silk hat were good for sore eyes to gaze upon. Furthermore, be was a well-known upholder of the Prohibition cause. Dow this strong citizen happened to be traversing Penu avenue, where the new saloons are gradually fixing up bars and getting in stock with the money that comes rippling through their, as yet unpaiuted, portals. The cellar doors of these installment-plan institutions remain open most of the day, and beer wagons are forever stopping before them to deliver kegs. As the rookery owner came along one of these cellar entrances yawned before him; and, doubtless from Prohibition prejudices, he turned his head away and looked in another direction". It was unlucky for him that he did so. There were two gay bartenders down in the cellar, having a quiet game of baseball, with an empty whisky jar for a ball. Quite unexpectedly, just as the plump Prohibi tionist was passing, there was a "heap big" hit. The liquor jar flew through the open cellar-door and collided with that highly respectaoie suk nat nereioiore aiiuaed to. Down went the silk hat, and right muddy was the fall thereof. Then this old gentleman swore like a trooper! Picking his battered and be-spattered head gear from the mire, he hastened into the saloon and demanded speedy reparation from the proprietor, who was sampling beer behind the bar. The proprietor replied that he could give no monetary compensation, because the bill for the last load ol beer had cleaned out his coffers. He offered instead a flask of suspicious looking whisky. The old gentleman would not accept payment in kind, and the officer on the beat was hastily summoned to utile the dispute. Now the officer thought the spirituous cousolatiqu oflered ought to satisfy any" reasonable being. Finally the old gentle man was inveigled into tasting "just a thimbleful" of the flask's contents. The sequel is too painful to dwell upon. Suffice it that Dispatch reporter subse quently met the aged ex-Prohibitionist on one of the Citizens' traction cars in a wild state of hilarity, which contrasted strangely with his usual staid demeanor. Abmoub & Co., of this city, report the following sales of dressed beef for the week ending May 10, 1890: 239 carcasses, aver age weight 666 fts., average price 6.71c. MEDICAL.
