C0HF0ET1XG THOUGHTS OP DEATH. tsrzciAt. tkuqbax to thx sisrATcn.l 3eookxtn. July 20. Dr. Talmage's ser toon to-day is on "The "Wide Open Door," and nil text Bev. iv:4 "And, .behold, a door was opened in he aven." Following is his sermon: John had been the pastor of a church in Eph esus. He had been driven from bis position in that city by an indignant populace. The preaching of a pure and earnest gospel had made an excitement dangerous to every form of iniquity. This will often be the result of pointed preaching, lien Trill flinch under the sworn strokes of truth. You ought not to be surprised that the blind man makes an outcry W pain -when the surgeon remores the cataract from bis eye. It Is a gooa sign when you see men uneasy in the church pew and ex hibiting impatience at some plain utter ance of truth which smites a pet sin tbat tbey are bugging to their hearts. After the patient has been so low that for weeks be said nothing and noticed nothing. It is thought to be a good sign when he begins to be a little cross. And so I notice tbat spiritual invalids are in a fair way for recovery when they be come somewbat irascible and cboleric under the treatment of the truth. But John had so mightily Inculpated public iniquity that he had be -a banished from his church and sent to F.Unos, a desolate island, only a mile in breadth, against vihose rocky coasts the sea rose and mingled its voice with the prayers and hymnlngs of the heroic exile. You cannot but contrast the condition of thiB banished apostle with that of another fa mous exile. Look at the apostle on Patrons and the great Frenchman on St. Helena. Both were suffering among desolation and barren ness because of offenses committed. Both had Eassed through lives eventful and thrilling, othhad been honored and despised. Both were imperial natures. Both had been turned off to die. WIDELY DIFFERENT. Yet mark the infinite difference: one had I otght for the perishable crown of worldly au thority, the other for one eternally lustrous. The one had marked his path with the bleached skulls of his followers, the other had intro duced peace and goodwill among men. The one had lived cbie&y for Belf-aggrahdixement and the other tor the glory of Christ. The suc cesses of the one were achieved amid the breaking of thousands of hearts and the acute, heaven-rending cry, of orphanage and widow hood, while the triumphs of the other made Joy in heaven among the angels of God. The heart of one exile was filled with re morse and despair, while the other was lighted up with thanksgiving and Inextinguishable hope. Over St. Helena gathered the black ness of darkness, clouds lighted up by no sun nsinc, but rent and fnnired and heaving with tbe lightnings of a wrathful God, and the spray flung over the rocks seemed to hiss with the condemnation: "Tbe way of the ungodly shall perish." Bnt over Patmos the heavens were opened, and tbe stormy sea beneath was forgotten in the roll and gleam of waters from under the throne like crystal, and the barren cess of tbe ground under tbe apostle was for gotten as above him be saw tbe trees of life all bending under the rich glow of heavenly fruit age, vthile tbe hoarse blast of contending ele ments around his suffering body was drowned in the trumpeting of trumpets and the harp ing of harps, tbe victorious cry of multitudes like the voice of many waters and the hosanna of hosts in number like the stars. What a dull spot upon which to stand and have such a glorious vision! Had Patmos been some tropical island, arboredwith the luxuri ance of perpetual summer and drowsy with breath of cinnamon and cassia, and tesielated with long aisles of geranium and cactus, we would not have been surprised at tbe splendor of the vision. But tbe last place you would go to it you wanted to find beautiful visions would be tbe island of Patmos. Yet it is around such gloomy spots that God makes THE MOST WO-DEBFDX EEVEtATIOiT. It was looking through tbe awful shadows of a prison that John Banyan saw the gate of tbe celestial city. God th4re divided the light from tbe darkness. In that gloomy abode, on scraps of old paper picked up about his room, the great Dream was written. It was while John Calvin was a refugee from bloody perse cution and was bid in a bouse atAngouleme, that he conceived the idea of writing his im mortal "Institute." Jacob bad many a time seen the sua breaking through the mists and kindling them into shafts and pillars ot fiery splendor that might well have been a ladder for tbe angels to tread on, bnt tbe famous lad der which be saw soarea through a gloomy night over tbe wilderness. The night of trial and desolation is tbe scene of tbe grandest heavenly revelations. From the barren, surf beaten rock of Patmos, John looked up and saw tbat a door was opened in heaven. Again: The announcement of such an opened entrance suggests the truth tbat God Is looking down upon tbe earth and observant of all occurrences. If we would gain a wide ?rospect, we climb np into a tower or mountain, he higher up we are the broader the land scape we behold. Yet our most comprehensive view is limited to only a few leagues here a river and there a lake and yonder a mountain Sealc But what must be the glory of the earth i tbe eye of Him who, from the door of heaven, beholds at one glance all mountains and lakes and prairies and oceans? As we take our stand upon some high point single objects dwindle into such insignificance that we cease to see them in the minutiae, and we behold only the grand points of the scenery. But not so with God. Although standing far up in the very tower of heaven, nothing by rea son of its sraallness escapes His vision. Every lily of the field.every violet under the grass.the tiniest heliotrope, aster and gentian are as plainly seen by Him as the proudest magnolia, and not one vein of color in their leaf deepens or fades without His notice. From this door in heaven God sees all human conduct and tbe world's moral changes. Not one tear of sorrow falls In hospital or workshop or dnngeon but He sees it, and in high heaven makes record of Its fall. THE WOBLD'S INIQUITIES in all their ghastliness glower under His vision. Wars and tumults and the desolations of famine and earthquake, whirlwind and ship wreck, spread out before Him. If there were no being in all tbe universe bnt Goo, He could be bappy with such an outlook as the door of heaven. But there He stands, no more dis turbed by tbe fall of a kingdom than the drop ping of a leaf, no more excited by tbe rising of a throne -n tbe bursting of a bud, the falling of a deluge than the trickling of a raindrop. Earthly royalty clutches nervously Its sceptre and waits in suspense tbe will of inflamed sub jects and the crown is tossed from onelamily to another. But above all earthly vicissitude and tbe assault of human passions, in unshaken security stands the King of Kings, watching all the affairs of His empire from the intro duction of an era to the counting of the hairs of vourhead. Again: I learn from tbe fact that a door in heaven is opened, that there is a way of en trance for our prayers and of egress for di vine blessings. It does not seem that our weak voice has strength enough to climb up to God's ear. Shall not our prayer be lost in the clouds? Have words wings? The truth is plain. Heav en's door Is wide open to receive every prayer. Must it cot be loudf Ought it not to ring up with the strength of stout lungs? Must it not bealondcalLsnchasdronning'men utter or like tbe shont of some chieftain in the battle? No; a whisper is as good as a shout, and the mere wish of the soul id profound silence is as good as a whisper. It rises just as high and accomplishes just as much. But oucbt not prayer to be made up of golden words if it is to enter such a splendid door and live beside seraphim and archangel? Ougbt not every phrase be rounded into perfection, ought not the languace be musical and classic, and poetic and rhetorical? KoYthe most illit erate outcry, the unjointed petition, the clumsy phrase, the sentence brealrinr-intn (---.mm. m- 1 IV?.dtV!i,L unwoled groan, is just as effect ual if it be the utterance of tbe soul's want.

What in tercessions! What beseechlncs ! "And behold. door was opened in heaven." fAgaia: The door of heaven la opened to allow us the Opportunity of looking In. Christ when He came from heaven to Bethlehem, left it open, and no one since has dared to shut it. Matthew threw It still wider open when be came to write, and Paul pusbedbe door f urther back when be spoke! the glory to be revealed, and John in RevelatiVh actually points ns to the harps antfnhe wJters, and tbe crowns, and the thrones. There are profound mysteries about that blessed place that we capnot solve. But look through this wide open door of heaven and see what yon can see. God means us , to look and catch up now something or tne rapture, and attune our hearts to its worship. It is wide open enough to see Christ. Behold Him, the chief among ten thousand, all the bannered pomp of heaven at His feet. With your enkindled faith look up along these ranks of glory. Watch how their palms wave and hear how their voices ring. Floods clapping their hands, streets gleaming with goia, un counted multitudes ever accumulating in num ber and ever rising up Into gladder bosannas. If you cannot stand to look upon that Joy for at least one hour, how could you endure to dwell among it forever? You would wish yourself out of it in three days and choose the earth ,agaln or any other place where it was not al ways Sunday. LOOKING HEAYEN'WABD. My hearer In worldly prosperity, affluent, honored, healthy and bappy. look in upon that bright company of the redeemed, and seo how tbe poor soul in heaven is better off than you are, brighter in apparel, richer In estate, higher in power. Hearers, afflicted and tried, look in through tbat open door that you may see to what gladness and glory you are coming, to what life, to what riches, to whst royalty. Hearers pleased to fascination with this world, gather up your souls for one appreciative look upon riches tbat never fly away; upon health that never sickens, upon scepters tbat never break, upon expectations that are never disap pointed. Look in ud see if there are not enough crowns to pay us for all our battles, enough rest to relieve all our fatigues, enough living fountains to .quench all our thirst, enough glory to dash out forever ana ever all earth's sighing and restlessness and darkness. Battles ended, tears wiped away, thorns plucked from tbe bosoms, stabs healed, the tomb riven what a scene to look upon. Again: Tbe door of heaven stands open for the Christian's final entrance. Death to the righteous is not climbing high walls or fording deep rivers, but it is entering an open door. If you ever visit tbe old homestead where you were born and while father and mother are yet alive, as you go up the lane in front of the farmhouse and you put your hand on the door and lift the latch, do you shudder with fear? No, you are glad to enter. So your last sick ness will be only the lane in front of your Father's honse from which yon bear tbe voice of singing before you reach the door. And death, tbat is the lifting of the latcb before you enter the greetings and embraces of tbe in numerable family of the righteous. Nay there is no latch, for John savs the door Is already open, what a company oi spirits nave aireaay entered those portals, bright and shining. Sonls released Yrom the earthly prison bouse, bow they shouted as tbey went thronghl Spirits that sped up from tbe flames of martyrdom making heaven richer as they went in, pouring their notes into the celestial harmony. THE DOOR OF MEBCY. The step beyond this life seems so mysterious you dread the taking of it. Why, who taught you this lesson of horrors? Heaven's door is wide open,'and you step out -of your sick room into those portals. Not as long as a minute will elapse between your departure and your arrival there not half so long as the twinkling of an eye, not the millionth part of an instant. There is no stumbling Into darkness. There is no plunging down Into mysterious depths. Tho door is open. This instant you are here, the next yon are there. When a vessel struck the rocks of tbe French coast, while tbe crew were clamberice up tbe beach, a cage of birds in the ship's cabin awakened, began to sing most sweetly, and when the last man left the vessel tbey were singing yet. Even so in the last hour of our dissolution, when driven on the coast of tbe other world, may our disembarka tion from this rongh. tossing life be amid tbe eternal singing of a thousand promises of de 'llverance and victory! For all repenting and believing souls the door of heaven is now wide open, the door of mercy, the door of comfort for the poorest as well as tbe wealthiest, for the outlaw as well as for the moralist, for Chinese coolie as well as his Emperor. iortheBusslan boor as well as the Czar, for the Turk as well as the Sultan. Richer than all wealth, more refreshing thau all fountains, deeper than all depths, higher than all heights, and broader than all breadths is the salvation of Jesus Christ which I press upon your consideration. Come all ye travelers of the desert under these palm trees. Oh, if I could gather before you tbat tremendous future upon which you are Invited to enter dominions and principalities, day without night, martyrs under tbe throne and the fonr and twenty elders falling be fore It. stretching off in great distances tbe hundred and forty and forty-fonrthousand, and thousands of thousands, host beside host, rank beyond rank, In infinite distance, nations of the saved beyond nations of tbe saved, until angelic visions cease to catch anything more than the faint outline of whole empires yet out stretching beyond the capacity of any vision save the eye of God Almighty. Then, after 1 bad finished the sketch, I would like to ask you if that place is not grand enough, and high enough, and if anything could be added, any purity to tbe whiteness ot the robes, any power to the acclaiming thunders of its worship. And all tbat may be yours. SIPPED IK THE BUD. Two Boy Iadlan Klllen Thwarted In Their Purpose nt Chicago. Chicago, July 20. The magnificent futures of two young disciples of "Arizona Pete," the Single-Handed Redskin Destroy er," were ruthlessly spoiled this morning by a policeman. The boys are Harry Smith and Walter Hayes. The officer found them on the Lake Front sorting out a lot of keys and arrested them. At tbe Armory 250 keys, an enormous bowie knife, a pair of new patent leather shoes and a bottfa ot chloroform were found upon the persons ot the boys. Young Smith lives in Indianapolis. Hayes is a Chicago lad. The boys were about to start out West on an Indian kill ing and stage robbing tour when they were arrested. Smith was fined $10 for carrying a bowie knife and orderly conduct. the same amount for dis- Hayes was assessed $20. CLAIMS TO HAVE SIEUCK 05E.

Youngstown, O., July 20 Intense ex citement prevails at Mineral Ridge, in the western part of tbe county, owing to the discovery of what promises to be a good field of mecca oil and natural gas. The Mineral Bidge Prospecting Company, while working on the farm of Jacob White, struck natural gas, and pushing the drill deeper were rewarded by finding mecca oil. The drillers are experienced men and assert the indications point to a big vein of oil. The result of the strike is that efforts are being made to lease all the territory in the neighborhood. t .

JTHB- " - CEEESES'AbTANCING: Markets Strong and Steadily Drifting to a Higher Level. FRUITS OP ALL KINDS VERY FIRM. The Hot Weather and Heavy Supplies De moralize Cheese. LEATHEE AND HIDES ABE ACTIVE Office of Ptttsbubo dispatch, ( Saturday. July 19, 189a The features of the grain and hay markets for the past week have been the strong and advancing prices, especially of oats and corn. The rise in oats since the week opened has been equivalent to 6c per bushel, and dealers are predicting still further adrances before many days. Corn has ad vanced nearly as much as oats during the week. Cereal markets have taken on new strength all along the line', and demand is good for everything offered in spite of the extremely hot weather. Though wheat, and flour have not yet joined in the general upward movement of cereals markets are very firm in both lines and an advance may be ex pected any day from present indications. I.n produce lines the week past has been one of great activity. There is no longer tbediffl- culty procuring stuff there was last week and demand is good for all that 'comes in good shape. Potatoes are not so high as at the be ginning of the week when i 50 was received for choice stock. The outside price to-day was H 00 per barrel. Apples of decent quality are very scarce and high and are Jlkely to continue so all tbe season. Tropical fruits are moving out freely and prices of lemons and oranges have advanced sharply since last Saturday. Tbe Cheese Market. Contrary to common expectations in the early part of the week, cheese shows weaken ing tendencies. This is due partly to the very hot weather, and partly to heavy receipts. Re ceipts in New York on a single" day this week reached 21.1S3 boxes, and markets there were somewbat demoralized. The price of Ohio cheese in New York at latest advices ranged from Eo to 6o in job lots. With such prices there must have been a slaughtering of the in nocents. It is bard to figure out anything bnt loss to the Ohio cheese maker whose product only yields 6c, after freight and other ex penses are paid. There has been an unusual scarcity of fresh eggs in this market for several days past, and prices .have advanced from 16c to 20c per dozen for choice stock within a week. By comparison with prices both East and West, it is developed tbat Pittsburg has been about the highest market for eggs in the country. Even Boston quotations are below ours of late. In tact, it is doubtful if there has been any better market for all lines of country prod uce than this has been the past week. All commission men report trade as satisfac tory, and.lt is seldom that stuff is as well cleaned up at the commission houses as it is this Saturday. Iienther nnd Hides. The Allegheny tanners report an unusually brisk summer's trade in all lines. Tbe better grades of hemlock sole leather are scarce and firm at an advance of lo per pound over prices tbat ruled a month ago. Harness leather is moving out about as fast as it is ready for market. There is no accumu lation of stock in any department of the leather trade, and the outlook for a brisk fall business is extra bright. With such activity in midsummer there is little doubt tbat higher prices will rule before many day. Tbe consumer will find no better time to lay in stock this year than right now. Tbe producer has no need and no inclination to pnsh trade, as he feels that better prices are aneaa. Hides 'and calfskins are active at a shade stronger prices than ruled a few weeks ago. Following are prices as furnished by James Caliery A Co.: ho. 1 green salted steers. 60 pounds -nl over No. 1 creen salted cows, all weights 1H 6t b 1 5 4 7 H 4 4S 6 S 3 40 IS No. 1 green salted hides, 40 to 60 pounds.. o. ljrreen salted hides, 25 to 40 pounds no. l green fimitea oau.. ...... ...... ....

There was scarcely any trading in local stocks Saturday, but the board was well covered with figures to keep up quotations. Ten shares of Electric brought 3S, a fractional advance, and 146 subscription rights in the same stock realized 15 cents a share. The last previous sales were at 25 and 60. Switch and Signal was bid up to 15 on the report of Increased earnings of the company. Tbe rest of the list showed no material change, but steadiness was the feature. Brokers are still hopeful of improvement. The hot season will soon be over and fall trade set In. Additional circulation provided for in tbe silver bill has inspired confidence and will develop greater activity in all branches of trade, and it is reasonable to suppose tbat the speculative Interests will feel the stimulus. The outlook is favorable to better times for local securities, whether they shall be realized or not. AN0THEE GOOD BKfOBT. Bank Clearings Over Three Millions Better Than Lust Year. There was a fairly active ,money market dur ing the week, with a tendency toward greater ease in consequence of accumulations, due to heavy depositing, but there was no cut In rates, which were steady at 67 per cent on call and time loans. The Clearing House statement was up to the high mark of the season. Tbe week's ex changes were over $3,000,000 in excess of those fur the same week last year.

Wheat Rather Tnme and Unsettled Bull ish Advices Cause an Early Advance Wbloh Was Lost Onts Higher Pork Wenk. CHICAGO Wheat Only a fair business was transacted to-day, and tbe feeling was somewhat unsettled. The opening was K?f higher, ruled firm and advanced lc more, then eased off, declining c and closed about 1c higher than yesterday. Tbe early advance was attributed largely to tbe buying of a promi nent local trader, though helped tome by tbe tenor of European advices and export news There were some foreign buying orders, and op erations were ratber bullish. Corn There was a fair trade within narrow limits, and the feeling prevailing was compara tively firm. The market opened KKo under the closing prices of yesterday, was easy for a time, then Bold up c, reacted a little, ruled steady then closed a shade lower than yester day. Oats Tbe market was active and at times rather excited, and prices averaged higher. The opening, however, was ratber easy on re ports of rains in Nebraska, aud fair selling and prices receded slightly. There was good gen eral buying, and the weakness was ot short duration. Prices were bid up c for tbe more deferred futures. July opened 10 higher, receded c, rallied to opening figures, but re ceded Kc. August declined lc, being sup ported by a prominent local operator. Mess Pork A quiet and weak feeling pre vailed. Bales were chiefly of small lots, and a good portion of the business in transfer. Lard Rather more pressure existed to sell.

SATUBDAY SLOWNESS. Sugar Trust Stock Monopolizes ibe Market aid But Little Else Was Sold Large Shipment of Specie far tbe Week. New TfoBK, July 19. The stock market of to-day was a fitting tender for that of yester day, as only 21,220 shares marked the dealings in listed stocks, and 21.099 of unlisted stocks, of which Sugar Refineries furnished 20,793. A market In which Reading furnishes oqly 100 shares. Northwestern nothing, Lackawanna only 300. and when the largest sales In any one stock is only 3,030 shares, and tbat a specialty, the trading calls for little comment The Interest of the day was centered in the dealings In Sugar Refineries, Silver Certificates and Citizens' Gas, of Brooklyn. Sugar contin ued its rise of yesterday upon the favorable de cision of the general term and scored a fnrther advance of 1 per cent to 77, but at that figure plenty ot stock came out, and it retired quickly to 75. and after some fluctuations of small fractions finally elb ed at its lowest point. Silver Certificates advanced again, but only reached 109. The general list presented a firm front, but failed to move except slight fractions. Rock Island and Louisville and Nashville were rather strong, but their move ments were devoid of Interest. The market finally closed Intensely dull, which even tbe bank statement, with Its comparatively small loss in surplus reserve, failed to move, at about the opening prices. Tbe final changes are in no case for more than a fraction, Sugar being down . Railroad bonds were dull and steady, as stocks and the business reached very few is sues in which there was nothing orinterest whatever. The dealings reached only 8362,000. Government bonds have been dnll and heavy. State bonds have been entirely neglected. Exports of speciev from the port of New York last week amounted to 82.470.181. of Which 82,328,181 was m gold and (142,000 silver. The imports of specie for the week amounted to 8140,838, of which 593,057 was in gold and S42.781 silver. Tbe Pott says: The railroad earnings as now shown for May are the most favorable for several years, and for 124 roads show a general increase of tbe net earning of nearly 16 per cent over the same month last year. These features of the situation, and the prospect tbat tbe West ern railroad managers will come to some kind ot an agreement to advance rates, have sus tained tbe market against the depressing effect of the exports of gold and the more de pressing apprehensions of financial troubles in London In consequence of the possible decline in South American and other foreign securi ties. Tbe struggle to maintain the credit of these, and the tear that the Bank of England would advance its rate of discount, has created a ratber strained position of affairs there, not fully represented by the market rates formocey. Its most visible manifestation was pretty general cessation of speculation and a waiting attitude to see what would be tbe result. London has not sold many American stocks, bat there has been no buying from tbat quarter and tbe fact that prices have been so well maintained under such circumstances shows the stocks are in very strong hands, ine following tahie snows tne prices or active stocks on tue Mew York Stock Exchange yester day.

Dak., July 20. Judge Honey, of this district, has sustained his temporary injunction closing the orig inal package bouses in this city. The grounds given for the decision are that the enabling act admitting South Dakota to' Statehood authorized tbe enactment of tbe prohibition clause in tbe State Constitntion. Such enabling act having been passed by Congress subsequent to the passage of the inter-State commerce law, therefore the prohibition law has received the sanction of Congress and tbe Supreme Court decision does not therefore apply to South Dakota. This brings up a new question, which will be carried up, and which, if sustained, will be of great importance to all of the new States which have adopted prohibition.
