bZtt v 12 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. SATURDAY; "MAY 10, 1890. Tk r t r i t I THEOLOGY DEFICIENT A Minister Should Know Also Age in Winch He Lites. the A LEADER IN CBEISTIAK WORK. Religions Training of the Tonnir.One of the First Essentials. & 5KW8 OP INTEREST FKOH CHUKCRES The Bev. Dr. Charles H. Bicbards, of Aladison, Wis., Trho recently accepted a call to the pastorate of the Central Congrega tional Church, Philadelphia, at his installa tion, read a paper on "Christian Thought and Service iii Our Day," which is more than usually replete with Taluable sugges tions to ministers who are anxious that they may be successful in their calling. Among other things he said: "A minister sbould not merely know the ology, be should know the world ot Us day, that be may be prepared to meet its peculiar needs. He should not merely be a student of God's revel ation in the Bible, he should be equally a student of God's providence in human life, that he may adapt his efforts to the particular perils and opportunities of the time. He should bring his methods down to date, and not think be is fighting a real battle when he is only rehearsing again eome finished combat of two renturies ago. If the enemy has chanced his noint ot attack lie sbould know bow to change front to meet him, without changing bis base. "I do not by any means bold that tbe main tenor of a minister's preaching should be apologetic, that he should be always defending the faith or attacking the various forms of error that are disputing its progress. I hold that truth is Its own best defense; that the best way to dispel darKness Is just to let the light thine, and the most effective method of meet ing tbe flaunting falsehoods of unbelief is by the clear, strong and earnest presentation of creat truths. The main staple of preaching Should be tho:e great fundamental facts and spiritual verities which have alread been re ferred to as the common possession of the Christian world. Tbe great prob'ems which disturb faith should be fairly met by religious teachers. "It isthedntyof ministers to frankly face and thoroughly understand these urgent doubts and fully equip himself to meet them. He sbould be a student of science, not as a cap tious critic, but as one who means to be famil iar with modern knowledge. Oar knowledge is partial, one-sided and misleading if it does not Include the facts and laws of the spiritual realm as well a tbe physical. Tbe way to un dermine materialism is to give men a vivid and distinct perception of the higher realm of real ity which we call the spiritual realm. It is the inestimable privilege of tbe religious teach er to widen ihethoucbt of men, so that these paralyzing doubts bhall be dissolved, and tbese critical questions of the age find a just solu tion. "But in adapting himself to the needs of tbe times a Christian learlr must not consider sim ply tbe intellectual and speculative questions that confront him, bnt must also prepare him self to deal with tbe great practical questions of Christian service. Ours is pre-eminently an age of marvelous gospel opportunity. The changes that have transformed the world in tbe last half century hat e oDened the way for sew advances of tbe gospel, such as have been poss.ble in no other period of Christian history. Old methods ot church work have had to give way to new ones better suited to the urgent needs of the new period. 'The minister of to-day must set himself to the task of securing results such as will glorify God and advance His kingdom, not by senile copjinc of the past, but by the bold and ener getic use of modern methods. He must win men to Christ and seek to build them up into robust and symmetrical Christian character. letting mo gospel ligbt sblne through them as intensely as possible over the community, the btate. the nation and the world. "It is while minds and characters are still plastic and easily molded that they sbould be brought under tbe power of the best Christian influences and be taught the great fundamental truths of life. They are the hope of the future, and will be tbe power in tbe Church in the next generation. They must be recruited into its ranks and enlisted in its active service as early as possible. The fannday school should not morel be for the young- it should be a crcafc JilUle BChooI lor the whole congregation a puce where fathers and mothers and children should come together to study the word of life and learn about that law of God which is of equal authority over all members of the family. We must secure the interested attendance of children and youth in tbe church at its regu lar services, more than has been in many places the custom. The service must be made helpful and attractive for them. The line of distinc tion has been run too sharply between young people and old people in our churches, and they need to be brought together into the stronger unity of one .great household of faith."

Chicago, May 9. The concluding ses sion of the "Western Unitarian Conference was held this afternoon. An address by Henry D. Lloyd, of Chicago, attracted much attention. Mr. Lloyd referred to the great change wrought in the condition of the Lou don dock laborers by the agitation led a few months ago by the Socialist, John Burns. He said that before the successful strike so ntelligently conducted by Burns, the dock laborers had been treated more like cattle than human beings. Such a thing as any consideration or their rights as individuals was never heard of. Burns' aeitation showed to the English people and the civil ized world their condition. It aroused public sympathy, and the church iu the per son of Cardinal Manning took hold of the mtater and made the dock laborer a man. It was within the power and clearly within the province of the church to bring about the amelioration to the condition of tbe laboring men throughout the world. Church sbould move in the matter with the same intelli gence shown by the Cardinal. Humanitarian interests should and would be the religion of the future. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Judge D. L. Shorey, Chi cago, President; Bev. Mary A. Safford, Sioux City, "Vice President; Bev.

Judge "White yesterday heard the argu ments in the case of the Pittsburg Traction Company, the Ellsworth Street Passenger Bailway Company, Central, Transit Com pany and the Larimer Street Bailway Com pany against the Duquesne Traction Com pany to restrain the latter from laying its railway on certain streets. The case opened by City Attorney More land reading on behalf of tbe city the reasons that operated on Councils iu grant ing the privileges that hare been given to the Duquesne Traction Company. Charles McKee, Eq., followed, by reading an affi davit made by C. L. Magee, President of the Duquesne Traction Company. Tne paper reviewed the growth of Pittsburg in industry and population. It stated that the records of the Building Inspector show the estimated cost of buildings erected as fol lows: In 18S5. 403 buildings were erected, cost 872, 493; in 1SS6, -HI buildings, cost $011,617; in 18S7, 609 buildings, cost (1,414.698; in 1888, 920 build ings, cost 1,91,475; in 1SS9, LIS buildings, cost $2,673,131. The Citv Assessor's office shows that in 18SS the taxable value of property was S33.012.S09; and in 1SS9, 549,972,0S1. INCREASE OP BUSINESS. As to the business done by tbe Pittsburg and Citizens' Traction Companies, Mr. Macee con tinued that in 1SS6 the railway on Fifth avenue carried 1,690,447 passengers, and in 18S9 over 6,000,000 passengers. Its earnings in lfs86 were about $300 per day, and recently it was as high as 51,400 a day. Tbe Citizens' road in ISM car ried 5,490,372 passengers, and in 1SS9, over 9.000. 000 nassencers. Its earnings in 1886 were about $700 a day, and it now runs as high as $2,000 a day. It was stated that the rapid growth of values and property iu the East i.nd was entirely due to tbe rapid transit street railways, and the fa cilities furnished by the two cable roads are now inadequate to accommodate tbe wants of tbe traveliug public. Especially is this true of tho Pittsburg Traction Company. The object of the construction of the Duquesne Traction Company was to meet the present and prospec tive wants of the people, and it will cover 22 miles of railway, while the other two cable lines have but seven miles within the same territori al limits. Mr. Magee added that be believed the object of the suit to be to secure a monopoly to the jrinsourg xracuon company oi tne travel to tbe East End. Following the reading of the paper, George Bhlras, Jr.. opened tbe case for the P ittsburg Traotion Company. He said that they have rights given them by the Legislature, which they had not forfeited nor given to the defend ants. Thee rights were charters to use certain streets in Pittsbnrgfor street railway purposes. Tbe defendants now proposo to occupy these streets, a thing expressly forbidden by law. The defendants, he said, must show a legis lative grant or charter, and a proper and legal consent of tbe city Councils. These proposi tions, he contended, the defendants had not met. TERMS THEM TRESPASSERS. He said he listened with pleasure to Mr. Magee's labored apology, in his affidavit, for taking from tbem rights and valuable fran chises, individual property by act of Assembly, and more, claiming certain grants by Councils to bis company, which the plaintiffs have been unable to get. He contended that the defend ants were trespassers, and should be enjoined from snch interference, D. T. Watson, Esq , came next, arguing in favor of the Duquesne Traction Company. He said the plaintiffs must show a property right tbat is liable to irreparable injury to entitle them to a hearing in a court of equity. If the plaintiffs cannot now get the consent of City Councils to lay its tracks upon these streets tu6dtfsastsHssct asms them as? injury when the j Ect tho consent aud co on with tho buildiue of their road. As to tbe Central Transit Company he said that the right given to the old company by the city authorities can not now be urged as being given to this new company, with its enlarged powers. The citv has refused to sanction this richt. and thev can not lay a rail or move a stone till tbis right has bocn given. The Central Transit Company had such aright under the act of 1879, but never under the act of 1889, which gave it in creased powers. The complainants, Mr. "Watson said, claim that tbe city must pass a general ordinance bv which all railway companies may have the right to lay tracks on any streets. Under the ninth section, article 7. of tbe Contitution, no street railway can enter on streets without the consent of tbe city authorities. The com plainants have no such authority. The six teenth section of the street act of lb89 says no street, etc., shall be occupied in any manner without the consent of Councils, expressed by general ordinance. This is unconstitutional, as being in conflict with section 9, article 7, of tbe Constitution, AS TO DISCRIMINATION. On tho subject of unjust discrimination Mr. Watson remarked that the Pittsburg Traction Company never had an ordinance from the city of Pittsburg, and did the city discriminate against them! Mr. John G. Johnston, of Philadelphia, closed tbe argument for the plaintiffs. He said that the object of tbe defendants asnot to give the city rapid transit, but to steal certain streets. He argued that tbe law requires a general ordinance to determine if a certain street shall be occupied by a street railway, with tbe requisite safeguards and regulations. The City Councils are not to determine who shall occupy tbe streets. The franchise of tbe corporation to occupy tbe streets must come .from the State. If the officials at Harrisburg acted properly in granting tbe second franchise in tbese cases, it meant that 20 corporations could be chartered to oc cupy tbe same streets, and they come to Citv Conncils,and bid and barter for tbe right to enter the streets. He maintained that tbe municipality's powers come from the Common wealth itself, and when a corporation has been chartered it alone has the power to construct a railroad over the street in question, and tbe power of the municipality Is only to say if such streets shall or shall not be occupied. Tbe statement that a franchise is worthless until the corporation gets tbe consent of Councils is correct, but that doesn't say that the plaintiffs hare not the rights given them by their fran chise. AS BE SEES IT. It is, said Mr. Johnston, a case of corpora tions abrogating to themselves the right to in terfere with the rights and franchises of in dividuals and other corporations. It is an in vasion ot a franchise to put a railway on a street for which another company has a fran chise, and because tbe consent of Councils has i not been obtained by tbe one does not make it the less an invasion: and because tracks hava not been put down for ten years does not alter tho case. A franchise is not a hop, skip and a jump affair now you see it and the next moment jou don't see it. Its rights are per petual, and a moment's cessation would be as fatal as the cessation of the beating of his heart to a man. Mr. Johnston concluded his argument with tbe claim tbat a prior charter gave first claim to possession of a street, notwithstanding tbat the officials at Harrisburg saw fit to grant a cbarter to a second company. Judge White took the papers and reserved his decision, "WENT EIQHT BACK 0D" THEM. A Weeping Wlcneaa in the Postofltce Bob bery Given Bis Pais Dead Away. The trial of William Casterline and Ernest lltman, charged with robbing the postoffice at Nicholson, was continued in the United States Court yesterday. Jerome Lord, the postmaster, related tbe circumstances of the robbery. Dr. E. Wheeler deposed to seeing a light in the postoffice and to giving an alarm. C. A. Wil mot testified that he saw a man jump from tho postoffice window and gave chase to btm bnt tbe man fired at witness. He said the moon was shining brightly and the shooter was a tall man. Henry Talmage's testimony was the same as Wilmot's. T.J.Twigley related the circumstances of the capture of Morris on the train. Defend ant's counsel admitted that tbe jewelry found on Morris had been taken from the postoffice building tbe night ot tbe robbery. George Sprague, proprietor of the jewelry store, stated that what was found on Morris was not all that bad been stolen. Jesse Thomas, one of the gang who pleaded guilty, testified that he went to Nicholson on February 6, ot tbis year, and met tbe accused and Morris. Witness was stationed outside, and tbe other three went into the Sostofflce. A few moments later Sprague anded J-.ira a satchel and he skipped, followed by the nn Morris and witness subsequently met at the railway and witness saw Casterline with a letter. Witness heard Titman say be fired the shot. .After Morris was ar rested Titman said "Spragn8 will give it away aud we might be arrested. We are all in lor It." On cross-examination Thomas told of tbo loss of the satchel and said he was ignorant of its contents. He said tbat at the preliminary bearing in 8cranton he had told his cousin. Squires, that he was innocent. Ho said the statement was not true. Jesse at in tervals shed tears by way of variation. Edward Briggs, of Soranton, testified that bo knew the defendants and met them at LUley'a tavern tbe day before tbo robbery and "smiled" with them at the bar. He overheard Caster line say: "I know where we can make a haul " and thev went out. Witness also beard Caster line say something about the Nicholson post- WUJlrC John LUley, proprietor of the tavern, testified that defendants were in his house tbe night of tbe robbery. Miss JosU Lord, daughter of the postmaster, deposed that on the night of the robbery as she came home from a party she saw the defend ants near the postoffice. She was acquainted with tbem. George Warner, a boy, told how he found the satchel in a bole in the bank of the creek near Nicholson. Tbe testimony of W. S. Decker and Sidney Pratt was not of general interest, and Court adjourned after it was heard. Hf THE BARDS OF THE COTJBT. Law Points as to Diamond Street Widening to be Settled. Appeals from tho decision of the Board of "Viewers on the widening of Diamond street, were filed yesterday, by E.D. Wilt, lessee of the Grand Opera House, and Thomas Hose & Son, dealers in shoes at No. 19 Diamond street, E. D. Wilt, in his petition, stated that he has a lease of tbe Opera House, running from July 1, 1887, to June 30, 1S94. His agreement with the owners was to pay $10,000 per year for tho first two years, 511,000 a year for tbe second two years, $12,000 a year for the third two years, and $13,000 for the last year. He was also bound by his agreement to make certain im provements, and reiurnish the bouse, and did so at a cost of $33,000. For the unex pired four years of his lease he will have to pay $48,000. The building will be destroyed as a theater by tbe proposed widen ing, and Mr. Wilt's business will be destroyed, ana he says tne unexpireu poruua of bis lease is worth $75,000. The house has been used as a theater lor 19 years. He ap peals becau&e the viewers allowed him no damaces. He alleges that the street act of May 16, 1889, is unconstitutional, and that the widening Is therefore invalid and illegal. Also, tbat it is not a local but a public im provement. The same allegations are made in tbe appeal of Thomas Eose A Son. who likewise received no damages in tbo award. The court ordered the City Clerk to remit to court all records and proceeding iu the widening matter. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. i iffyrifA..

Please remember that these patients were not those who had some simple catarrh of tho head which, with a few local treatments and snuff medicines at the bands of the doctor seem to bo cured but were patients suffering; from catarrh In its most aggravated, chronio form, and which, in soma cases, had developed Into consumption. Notwithstanding the fact that numerous traveling doctors and so-called specialists have located in Pittsburg, the patronage of this medical institution has steadily Increased. The testimonials published, and which always contain tbe name as signed by the patient, together with the crowds of people who daily call on these specialists, prove their success in the treatment of catarrh. Also please remember that tbis is tbe only institution in Pittsburg where only catarrh, dyspepsia and diseases of women are received for treatment, preferring to treat these diseases successfully rather than attempt to cure all diseases.

IlliSlP Mr. Fred Bahn, Another well-known resident of Sharpsburs has been a victim of catarrh and dyspepsia. His stomach gave bim an endless amount of trouble. He had belching of gas from his stomach after eatinc. sonr taste, and often felt like vomiting his food. His appetite was poor, and as bis liver was much enlarged it gave him great pain. In fact, be would of ten be taken with snch sharp cramps and pain across his stomach and bowels it seemed as if be conld not live. He bad palpitation of tbe heart, dizziness, weakness and pain across the small of his back, and a numb, lifeless feeling in his limbs. He conld get but little sleep, and as every change of weather gave him a cold, be took on a lingering cough. His breath became abort tnd he felt pain and soreness in his lungs and under his shoulder blades. Night sweats weakened him very fast, and he gradually grew worse until he lost SO pounds of flesh. Having a wife and twp small children whom be dearly loved, depending on him for a living, and hav ing spent all his money in doctoring to no avail, not being able to work, be became discouraged and disheartened, and often became so melan choly that he would feel tempted to jnmp into tbe river and thus end his suffer ing. One day he noticed in the paper an account of a patient who had been cured by tbe catarrh specialists at 323 Penn avenue of conditions that seemed similar to his own. He resolved to call on these special ists. He did so, and was told he could yet be cured. Although he bad but little faith, he re solved to try onco more, and after taking a course of treatment became cured. He says: "Tbe above history of mv disease and cure is true in every respect. I had received treat ment from 20 physicians, yet gradually grew worse, and for one year before beginning treat ment with these physicians I was scarcely able to do any work. I have now worked hard for the past two crontbs, feel well and strong, and words do not express the joy I feel that my life has been spared and health restored. I hereby sign my name. FRED HAHN."
