A Reasonable Observance of the Sab
bath is What is Commanded.
JOY, HOT SADHESS, EHCOUKAGED.
Questions to be Answered ly Ministers at
the Ministerial Association.
ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM CHURCHES
At the meeting of the Evangelical Al
liance on Monday morning, the Bev. Georce
Hodgea read a paper on the observance of
the Sabbath. The principal point empha
sized was that it is appointed as a day of
rest. The sentiments expressed were indorsed
by all but one or two -who spoke, showing
that a long stride forward has been taken in
the advocacy of a rational observance of
that day. He said:
However, the point which I desire yon to
notice is that the emphasis was upon rest.
God gave a commandment that men should
not work forever, but that they should have
a little leisure in their lives. God says: "My
children, I would not have you work too
hard; taVe a day off once every week, and get a
good rest, alt ot you." This word of fatherly
solicitude is very touching. Ana what a dread
ful thing men made out of it, marking out its
meaning with such narrow measures that the
great, line, fatherly intention was lost sight of
altogether.
And hat a tragic failure men make to-day
in the keeping of it. "Six days Shalt thou
labor," and six hours a day" 1 wish bad been
put into the commandment, "but the seventh
is the Sabbath of the Lord tby God. In it thou
sbalt not do any work." Why there are thou
sands of men and women in this Christian
-world to-day who do not know what rest is;
they are slaves in a bondage compared with
blcli old Egypt was a blessed paradise. They
arc ground between the upper and the nether
null. tones, over hours on one side and under
pay on the other. One day in seven! No; hot
on day in seven hundred.
There were certain rabbis who held that
when a man waked up on the morning of the
Sabbath, he should continue in the attitude in
which he found himself- aud stir neither band
nor foot till tho sun went down. To call this
rest is like making a wilderness and calling it
peace. To: the best rest is often found in
work, in change of work. If we are to make
no manner of w ork" a literal thing, we shall
fi-id ourselves all Sabbatb breakers.
Once every week there comes into every well
ordered Christian lire a day which deserves to
bear that name. The hurry, the rush, the
noise of the week are all shnt out. It is a quiet
day. The books, the magazines, the papers
w hich are read every other day are read spar
ingly on this day. Ilia emphasis is put npon
the higher side of life, upon religion.
In tho morning and in the evening the church
bells ring, and that means worship in the house
of God. That means the necessity of a choice
between the refreshing of a body and the re
freshing of the soul, between the lower and
the higher. There is one kind of Sunday which
a horso can keep as well as a man. Bnt "I was
in the spirit on the Lord's day" sala St. John,
setting as an example that lifts us abovo the
animals.
The afternoon is sacred to the family. I do
not know what Christ would say to some of our
Sunday visiting- I am sure He would have dis
approved of a cood deal of it. Nevertheless He
has set His seal to the social meaning of the
day. Especially in the family. the
Lord's day ought to be the weekly
festival of household happiness.
"Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Let every
one have a happy face on this day. Let the
public flower gardens be open in the summer
time. Let the railroads take people out into
the country under God's clear sky. Let us get
all the cenulne pleasure we can into this day
tor everybody.
Snch a Sunday, such a restful and religious
day, ought to be kept in every household, but
it is not so kept. The ambitions, the hurries,
the frivolities, the bargains of the week crowd
in upon it, the transitory is suffered to obscure
the eternal. A generation is growing up
whicn is not being taught at borne the happi
ness and below hich this day holds. And the
wise shake their beads over tho fact and see
in it a menace both to soul and body, both to
church and State. And it does not need any
unusual wisdom to see bow Christian civiliza
tion and the Christian Sunday are bound up
together.
We, at least, can do our own part. "We. at
least, can keep the Lord's day in the Lord's
way.
If we sit down at set of sun.
And connt the things that we have done,
And. counting, find
One sell-denying act, one word
That eased the heart of him who beard.
One glance most kind.
That lell HLe sunshine where it went,
Then we may count that day well spent.
But, If through all the livelong day,
W e' ve eased no heart by yea or nay;
If through It all
We've done no thine that we can trace
That brought the sunshlue to a face,
' 2s o act most 6mall,
That helped some 6oul, and nothing cost
Then count that day as worse than lost.

In an interview with Rev. Dr. Talmage, Mr.
Gladstone said: "Talk about questions of the
day, there is but one question and that is the
gospel, It can and will correct everything
needing correction. All the men at the bead
of great movements are Christian men. Dur
ing tbe many years I was in the Cabinet I was
brought into association with 60 master minds,
and all but five of them were Christians. My
only hope for the world is in bringing the
human mind into contact with divine revela
tion." Enthusiasm should be tempered with
truth, if not always with discretion. Rev. A.
T. Pierson. D.D..of Philadelphia, recently said
in England that "a remarkable movement has
broken out among the young men in Kansas,
Nebraska and tbe Dakotas, which can only be
compared in Its intensity to a prairie fire, that
there are 4.000 students in the colleges of tbe
United States preparing for tbe mission field."
Is it not'strange that tbe press, either religious
or secular, has not beard of this mighty blaze
that is to sweep the lands for Christ? Good Dr.
Pierson, where are these 4,0007 Magnum est
Veritas, et prevelabit?
On Monday morning the Presbyterian min

To be answered by Rev. Dr. Shrom. Second
Should tbe doctrine of tne endless punishment
ot the finally impenitent be made prominent
in tbe preaching of the word? Rev. Dr. Suth
erland. Third Was the sacrifice of Christ in
any sense a satisfaction of law, or was it only a
necessary surrender of divine lovo in recon
ciling the sinner to GodT Rev. J. F.
Patterson. Fourth Is tbe envelope sys
tem attended with better results in pro
viding for the snpport of the gospel than
the pew rent system? Rev. O. N. Verner.
Fifth Cannot men not professing the true re
ligion De saved, be they never so ailigent to
frame their lives according to tbe light of

fess? Rev. Dr. Purves. Sixth Should a ses
sion in any case receive into the communion of

byterian in theory and satisfactory in practice?

PAID IN ITS 0WX COIN.
South Carolina Repudiate! Bonds Refused
as Payment for Taxes.
rErXCIAI. TXLXQILUt TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Charleston, S. C, January 31. Re
ceiver Chamberlain, of the South Carolina
Bail way, to-day tendered to the County Treas
urer, in payment of taxesof the road, bonds
and coupons of the State known as "green
bonds," which were repudiated. The County
Treasurer refused to receive them, and the
case will be carried to the United States
Court,
It is said that a large amount of the South
Carolina Railroad bonds are owned by three
large insurance companies in New York,
who are also holders ot the repudiated State
bonds, and that a test case will be made to
compel the State to acknowledge the validity
of these bonds.
AN EXPEDITION CHECKED.
The Homo Refuses to Allow Troops to Go to
Fight the Red Men.
Two young men named Parker and
tKriger, about 13 years of age, were stopped
by the Union station officers just as they,
the young men, were about to board a train
yesterday morning about 3 o'clock, on their
war to fight Indians, The officers thought
the expedition might be unauthorized, and
the adventurers only filibusters and put
them under guard temporarily.
Subsequently the government was tele
phoned, and two ladies appeared from San
dusky street and interdicted the expedition,
compelling the troops to disband and go
home. An assortment of Gatling gun,
Winchester rifles, swords, bowie knives and
other military stores will be sold at a
sacrifice.
A HAT0RE LAW STUDENT.
He Paralyzed the TipstnfT by Insisting on
Students' Privileges.
Mr. U. P. Sawyer wanted to pass a tip
stafl in the Court House the other day and
go in among the lawyers, but the guard ob
jected, when Mr. Sawyer informed him that
as a law student he possessed the privilege.
The tipstaff couldn't believe that the portly
man demanding admission was a law stu
dent, but he referred the doubter to Major
Negley, and an investigation showed that
E. P. Jones, Esq., had entered Mr. Sawyer
as a student in 1859. After 31 years he is
still indifferent as to the matter of admission
as a fledged lawyer.
TWO MOKE PLANTS.
The Wrstingbouse Company Will Now Light
Snnnr California.
The "Westinghouse Machine Company
yesterday received contracts for two new
electrie light plants. One of them is for
the town of Hampton, Va., and the other
the city of Sacramento, Cal. The former is
for 2,000 and the latter 3,000 laums. The
plant in California will be operated by the
Central Electric Company.
During the past month the company has
sold 37,500 incandescent and 1,000 arc
lamps. This shows that Pittsburg is mak
ing a name for itself all over the world.
Over the New Railroad.
A party of railroad officials will leave this
moraine for a tourof inspection over the Mc
Keesport and Bellevernon road. The Lake
Erie company will place a special car at the
disposal of the party. The latter will be in
charge of General Superintendent Holbrook,
of the Lake Erie lines.
Don't Know Where Be Ii Now.
A mad dog made a trip through Carson
street yesterday morning frothing at the
mouth, barking and snapping at the people.
The usual excitement prevailed customary
on such occasions, but no more serious re
sults followed than a rent in a pair of over
alls and a torn overcoat.

THERE IS HO SYNDICATE.
An English Hop Broker Throws Light on
tbe Brewery Deals Stock Brokers la
London are Back ot Them How Tbey
Work the Scbemo In England.
Mr. George McCracken, a wealthy hop
broker of Liverpool, England, is a guest of bis
brother in law, Mr. M. J. Lunn, of Castle
Shannon. Mr. McCracken is on one of his
periodical trms to this conctrv to bnvhons.
He visits the vast hop fields of New Xork State
three times each year, and after making his
nurcbases shins the product to England and
Ireland. Among bis heaviest customers is tbe
firm of Bass fc Co., of Burton-on-Trent. Tbey
turn out 1.000,000 barrels of ale per year, and
every hop they use is grown in New York.
As Mr. McCracken travels extensively
throughout this country and tbe United Kina
dom. it would be sunDossed that bo would
know something of the operations of tbe sup
posed English brewery syndicate. He says
there are no such organizations as brewery syn
dicates, as tbe people of this country suppose
them to be. Every brewery that was supposed
to have been purchased was changed into a
stock company. The stock was placed on the
London Exchange, and anybody who wanted to
could purchase it. In regard to tbe matter Mr.
McCracken said:
Tbe idea of speculating with American brew
eries originated with some London stock and
share brokers who carried out a practice In
vogue in England. When a concern of any
kind assumed such proportions that it was
hard to manage, for the protection of each In
dividual partner, it was changed into a Btock
company. The brokers went farther than this
in their operations In this country. Tbey
would take a half dozen small concerns, lump
them together and make a proposition to the
principal owners. The proposition was to form
one company and place the capital stock about
equal to what they were worth. After selling
a certain amount of stock to the chief proprie
tors they would advertise the remainder in the
London newspapers. The stock would then
be offered for sale on tho London
exchange. They would place the financial part
of tho business with a reputable banking house
and this would givo it the appearance of a good
stock to buy. After floating the concerns as
one company the brokers would be paid a com
mission, and, on account of the large amount ot
money involved, would make a handsome thing
out of it.
Guinness & Co., of Dublin, was changed into
one of these concerns. It has paid as high as 16
per cent since the concern was turned Into a
stock company. Tbe company was floated for
6,000,000, and Mr. Guinness received one-half
of this amount. Fart of tbe remaining stock
was divided among tbe employes, who hold all
tbe way from 1 to 1,000 shares.
The largest single concern floated in tbis
country was the Frank Jones Brewing Com
pany, of Portsmouth, N. H. The capital stock
was fixed at 6,000,000.- Mr. Jones got $3,000,000
ot this for himself. Tbe subscriptions for tbe
work came from John O'Goat's House to tbe
Land's End and from the Giant's Causeway to
Cape Clear In Ireland.
ALLEGED 1EBEGDLARITIES.
Fifteenth Word Democrats Dissatisfied With
Tbslr Prlinnrles.
There is considerable dissatisfaction among
the Democrats of the Fifteenth ward over tbe
