THE MOVING PARABLE
Of the Good Samaritan Explained and
Amplified in the Kegnlar
STODAT DISCOURSE OP TALMAGE.
A llescripUon of the Scene of the Savior's
Famous Story.
THE DOCTOR'S TOUK OP THE HOLT LAND
rerECIAL TELEOUAM TO THE DISPATCII.1
Brooklyn, October 19. The wide
spread and absorbing interest in Dr. TaJ
inage's course of seimons ou the Holy Land
ani adjoining countries is demonstrated by
tbe thousands who are turned away Jrom
the doors of the Brooklyn Academy of
Music on Sunday mornings and from
services in the Xew York Academy of
Music on Sunday evenings, unable to gain
even standing room in those immense au
ditoriums. To-dav the fourth sermon ot tbe
series was preached, as beiore, in this city
in tbe morning and in New York at night
Having announced as his text Luke 10:30,
"A certain man went down from Jerusalem
to Jericho," Dr. Talmage said:
It is tuc morning or ueccmoero, in jernsa
lem and we take stirrup- for the road along
which tlie wayfarer of old fell anions thieves
who left bun wounded and half dead. Job's
picture if tl horse iu the Orient as baing
neck "clothed with thunder" is not truo of
most horses now in Palestine. There is no thun
deron their neck, though i here is some light
ring in their heels. Poorly fed and unmerci
fully whacked, they sometimes retort. ,To
Americans and English, who are accustomed
to guide hors-s by tbe bridle, these nurses of
the Orient, guided only by foot and voice, make
equestrianism an uncertainty, and the poll on
the bridle that you intend for slowing up of
the pace maj be mistaken for a bint that you
want to out-gallop tne wind or wheel in swift
circle like the haw k.
liutthcj can climb steeps and descend preci
pices with skilled foot, and the one I choose
lor our journ in Pale-tine shill have the
praise of going for weeks without one stum
bling 6tcp. aim J rocky steeps where an ordi
nary burse would not fr an h ur maintain
surc-tnotedne There were IS of our party,
and 22 beasf oj burden carried our camp
equipment Wc were led by an Arab sbeik
with his bl- - Nubian servant carrying a
loaded cur in full sight, but it is the fact that
thisheik represints tl'e Turkish Government
which assures tl-c safety of tbe caravan.
THE iCESX OP A PARABLE.
With the fresh memory of some recent vio
lence in their minds, Christ tells the people of
the good bamaritau who came along that way
and took care of a poor fellow that bad been
set upo. by villainous Arabs and robbed, and
pounded and cut. We encamped fir lunch
that noon close by an old stone building, said
to be the tavern wher? the scene spoken of in
the liible culminated Tumbling in the du"l
andgbastU with wounds, the victim of this
highway robbery lay in the middle ot the road
a tact of w Inch I am certain. bcauo tho Lible
ras the people passed by on either side. There
were 12,000 priests liting at Jericho and they
had to go to Jerusalem to olhciate at the tem
ple. And one of these minister? of religion, I
suppose, was on his way to the temple
service and he is startled as he ccs this bleed
ing victim m the middle of the road. "On,"
he says, "here is a man that has been attacked
nl thief cs. "Why don't you go home?" says
the minister. The man in a comttosc state
n.al.es no aifwer or, with a half-dazed look,
pots his wounded hand to his gashed forehead
and drawls out "What?" "Well." sas the
minister, "I must hurry on to my duties at
Jerusalem. I have to kill a lamb and two
pigeons in sacrihe to-day. I cannot sneud any
mor time with this unfortunate. I guess
somebodi else will take cire ot him. But this
is one of the things that cannot be helped, any
how. Beside that, my business is with souls
and not with oodles. Good morning! When
you get well enough to sit np. I will be glad to
sec jou at the Temple."
And tbe minister curves his way out toward
the overhanging sides of the road and passes.
You hj pocritc! One of the chief unices ot re
ligion is to heal wounds. Yon might have done
here a kindness that would have been more ac
ceptable to God than all tl.e incense that will
smoke up from jour censer for the next three
weeks and uu unseed the chance. Go on your
wayl Execrated by the centuries.
TOO BUSY FOE MCKCY.
Soon afterward a Lcvito came upon tho
scene. Tho Invites looked after tho music of
the temple and waited upon the priests and
iiroided the supplies of the temple. This
Xicvite, passing alone this road where wo arc
to-day, took a look at the mass ot bruises and
laceration in tho middle of the road, "My!
nn!" uavs the Lievite, "this man is awfully hurt
and lie ought to be helped. But my business is
to sing in the choir at the temple. If I am not
there no one will carry my part. Beside that,
there may not he enough frankincense for the
censers and tbe wine or oil may have
given out, and wha a fcarlul balk
m tbe service that would make. Then
one of the priests might get his breast-plate on
crooked. But it seems too bad to leave this
man in this condition. Perhaps I had better trv
to stanch this bleeding and give him a little
stimulant. But, no! Toe ceremonj at Jeru
salem is of more importance than taking care
of the wounusof a man who will probably soon
be dead, anyhow. '1 his highway robbery ought
to be stopped. lor it hinders us Levitcs on our
way up to the temple. There, I have lost five
minutes alreadj! Go along, you beast!" he
shouts, as be strikes bis heels into the sides of
the animal carrying him. and the dust lising
from the road soon hides the beard-hearted of
ficial. But a third person is coming along this road.
You cannot expect him to do anjihing by way
of alleviation, because be and the wounded
man belong to different nations which bare
abominated caci. other for centuries. The
wounded man is an Israelite, and the stranger
now coining on this scene of suffering is a
Samaritan. They belong to nations which
hated each other with a objurgation and male
diction diabolic. They had onposition temples,
ne on Mount Genzim and the other on Mount
JUoriali. and I gues this Samaritan when he
comes up will give the fallen Israelite another
clip and say: "Good for you! I will just finish
the work these bandits began, and give yon one
more kick thatwill pat jou out of our misery.
And here is a rag of your coit that they did not
steal, and I will take'that. What! Po vou
dare to appeal to me for mercy? Hush'up!
Why. jour ancestors wor-bipped at Jeru-alem
when they ought to have worshipped at Geri
zim. Now take that! And that! And that!"
will say the Samaritan as he pounds the fallen
Israelite.
THE GOOD SAMARITAN.
No: the Samaritan rides up to tbe scene of
suffering, gets of the beast and steps down and
looks into the face of tbe woundefi man and
sajs: This poor fellow does not belong to my
nation, and our ancestors worshipped in differ,
ent places, but he is a man, and that makes us
brothers. God pity lmn, as I do!" Audbeg-ts
down on his knees and begins to examine his
wounds, and straightened out his limbs io see if
any of bis bones are broken, and savs: "Jly
dear fellon, cheer up, jou need have no more
care about yourselt. for 1 am going to take caro
ofjou. Let me fed of your pulse! Let me
listen to jou breathing! I have in these bottles
two liquids that will help you. The one is oil
and that will soothe the pain or these wounds
and the other is wine, and vour pulsi- is feeble
and jou feel faint, and that will stimulate you.
Now I must get j-ou to the nearest tavern."
"Oh. mi;" says the UMn, "I can't walk; letme
stay here and die." Nonsense!" says the
Samaritan, "You are not g ung to die, I am
going to put jou on this beast, and I will hold
you on till I get jou to a place where jou can
hae a soft niai tress and an easy pillow."
Now the Samaritan has got the wounded man
on his feet, and with much tugging and lifting
Dnts him on tbe Ie.ist. for it is a-tonlsbing tow
strong the spirit of kindness will make one, as
you hate seen a mother after three weeks of
sleepless watching of her bov down with scar
let lever lift that hair-gronn boy, heavier than
herself, from couch to lounge. And so this
sympathetic SainanUn nas, unaided, put the
wounded man in be saddle, and at slow pace
tbe extemporized ambulance is moving toward
thetHVern. "You feel belter now, 1 think,"
saj-s the Samaritan to the Hebrew. "Yes," he
savs, "I do feel Detter." "Halloo, you landlord!
help me carry this man in and mate him -nm.
fortable." Ibat nisht the Samaritan gat up
with the Jeu. giving him water whenever
he telt thirsty and turning bis pillow when it
got hot, and in the morning before the Samari
tan started on Ids journey he said, "Landlord,
now I am obliged to go. Take good care of this
man and I will be along here soon again and
pay you for all you do ror him. Meanwhile,
here is something to meet present expenses."
The "two pence" he gave the landlord sounds
small, but it was as much as 510 here, and now
considering what it would be there, and then
buy of food and lodging.
A TALK WITH GLADSTONE.
I saw in London the vast procession which
one day last January moved to St. Paul's
Cathedral at the burial of that Christian hero.
Lord Napier. The day after at Hanarden, In
conversation on various themes, I asked Mr.
Gladstone if he did not think that many who
were under the shadow of false religions
might not nevertheless be at heart really Chriv
tians. Mr. Gladstone replied: "Yes; my old
friend, Lord Napier, who was yesterday buried,
after he returned Irom ius Abyssinian cam
paign, visited us here at Hawarden and, walk
ing in this nark where we are now walking, he
told me a very beautiful incident. He said:.
'After tbe war in Arnca was over, we
were on the march and we had a soldier with a
broken leg who was not strong enoueb
to go along with ns and we did
not dare to leave him to be taken care of by
savages, bnt we found we were compelled to
leave him and we went into the bouse of a
woman w bo was said to be a very kind woman,
though of tbe race of savages, and we said:
"HereJs a sick man, and it you will take care
of him till he gets well we will pay you very
largely," and then wi- offered ber five times
that which would ordinarily be offered, hoping
by the excess of pay to secure for bim great
kindness. The woman replied: "I will not
take care of him lor the money you offer. I do
not want jour money. But leave him here, atid
I will take care of him for the sake of tbe love
of God." ' "
Mr. Gladstone turned to me and said: "Dr.
Talmage, don't you think that though she be
longed to a race of savages, that was pure re
ligion!" And I answered: "Ido:I do." May
God multiply all the world over tbe number of
good Samaritans!
But our procession of sight-seers Is again In
line, and berc wo pass through a deep ravine,
and I ciy to the dragoman: David, wnat place
do you call this?" and he replied: 'This is the
brook Uberith, where Elijah was fed by the
ravens." And In that answer he overthrew my
lile-long notions of tbe place where Elijah was
waited on by tbe black servants of the sky. A
brook to me had meant a slight depression of
ground, and a stream fordablp, and perhaps
15 leet wide. But here was a chasm that an
earthquake must have scooped out with its
biggest shovel or split witb its mightiest battle
axe. Six hundred feet deep is it. and the brook
Cbenth Is a river, which, when in full lorce, is
a silver wedge, splitting the mountains into
precipices. Tho feathered descendants at
Elijah's ravens still wiug their way across this
ravine, but are not like the crows we supposed
tbem to be. They are as large as eagles, and
one of them could carry in its beak and clinched
claw- at once enough food for a half-dozen
Elijahs.
MORE ElirHASIS OK MUSIC.
Seated by the warmth of our camp-fires that
evening of December 6, amid the bricks and
debris of Jericho, and thinking what poor
music has dune and what mightier things could
be accomplished by the blessings of God on
good music I said to myself: Ministers have
been doing a grand work, and sermons have
been blessed, but wonld It not be well for us to
put more emphasis on music? Oh, for a cam
paign of Old Hundred! Oh, for a brigade of
Mount Pigabs! Oh, for a cavalry charge of
Coronations! Oh, for an army of .Ynflochs and
bt. Martins and Anels! Oh, for enough orches
tral batons lifted, to marshal all nations! As
Jericho was surrounded by poor music
for seven days and was conquered, so
let our earth be surrounded seven days
by good gospel music, and the round planet
will all be taken for God. Not. a
wall of opposition, not a throne of tyranny, not
a palace of sin, not an enterprise of unright
eousness could stand the mighty throb of such
atmospheric pulsation. Mnsicl It sonnded at
the laying of creation's corner-stone when the
morning stars sang together.' Music! It will
be tbe last reverberation, when tbe archangel's
trumpet shall wake the dead. Music! Let its
full power be now tested to comfort ana bless
and arouse and save.
While our evening meal is being prepared in
the tents, we walk out for a moment to tbe
"fountain of Elisha," the one into which the
prophet threw the salt, because the waters were
poisonous and bitter, and lo! they became
sweet and healthy; and ever since, with gurgle
and laughter, they have rushed down the hill,
and leaped from the rocks, the only cheerful
object iu all that region being these waters.
Now on this plain of Jericho tbe sun Is set
ting, making the mountains look like bal
ustrades and battlements of amber and maroon
and gold: and tbe moon, iust above the crests.
seems to be a window of heaven through which
immortals might be looking down upon the
scene. Three Arabs as watchmen sit beside
the campfire at the door of my tent, their low
conversation in a strange languag all night
long a soothing rattier than an interruption. 1
had a dream : hat night never to be forgotten,
that dream amid the complete ruins of Jericho.
Its past grandeur returned, and I saw the city
as it was when Mark Antony gave it to Cleo
patra and Herod bought it from her. And I
beard the hoofs of its swift steeds, and the
rumbling of its chariots and the shouts of ex
cited spectators in its amphitheater.
A REALISTIC DREAM.
The region round about the city walls seemed
to me white with cotton such as Thcnius de
scribes as onco growing there, and sweet with
sugar cane, and luscious with orange and figs
and pomegranates, and redolent wit b such flora
as can only grow where a tropical sUn kisses the
earth. And tbe hour came back to me when in
the midst of all that splendor Herod died, com
manding his sister Salome immediately after
bis deatn to secure the assassination of all tho
chief Jens whom he had brought to the city,
and shut up in a circus for that purpose, and
the news came to the audience in tbe theater
as some one took tbe tage. and announced
to the excited multitude: "Herod is dead!
Herod is deadr' Then in my dream,
all the pom j of Jericho-vanished and gloom
was added to gloom, and desolation to desola
tion, and woe to woe, until, perhaps the rippling
waters of the Fountain of Elisba suggesting it
as sounds will sometimes give direction to
a dream I tbougbt that the waters of Christ's
salvation and tbe fountains "open for sin and
uncleanness," were rolling through that plain
and rolling across that continent, and rolling
round the earth, until on either side of their
banks all the thorns becime flow ers, and all the
deserts gardens, and all the hovels mansions,
and all the funerals bridal processions, and all
the blood of war was turned into dahlias, and
all tbe groans became anthems, and Dante's In
ferno became Dante's Dtvina Commedia, and
Paradise Lost was submerged by Paradise Re
gained, and tears became "crystals, and cruel
swords came out of foundries glistening
ploughshares, and. Iu my dream, at the blast of
a trumpet tbe prostrated walls of Jericho rose
again.
And some one told me that as these walls in
Joshua's time, at the sounding trumpets of
doom went down, now at the sounding trum
pet oi the gospel they come up again. And I
thought a man appeared at the door of my
tent, and I said: "Who are vou and from
whence have you come?" and "he said, "I am
the Samaritan you heard of at the tavern on
the road from Jerusalem to Jericho, as taking
care of the man who fell among thieves, and I
have jnst come from healing the last wound of
tbe last unfortunate in all tbe earth." And I
rose from my pillow in the tent to greet him,
and my dream broke, and i realized it was only
adream.bat a dream which shall become a
glorious reality as surely as God is true and
Christ's gospel is tbe world's Catholicon.
"Glory be to the Father, and to tbe Son. and to
the Holy Ghost, as it was in tho beginning, is
now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen."

FEATURES OF TRADE.
Cereals Are on the Advance and
Bides Tending Downward.
GAEDEN STUFF A MUG IN MARKET
Wet Weather and Bad Roads Adverse to
Some Lines of Trade.
POTATO SUPPLY NOT DP TO'THE DEMAND
Office or Pittsburg Dispatch. 1
Saturday. October 18, 189a S
In cereal lines it will be seen by reference
to domestic market column that receipts of
grain and hay for the week have been the
largest of the season. During the week 372
car loads were bulletined at the Grain Ex
change, making a daily average of 62 cars.
Receipts of oats alone amounted to 106 car
loads for the week. Notwithstanding heavy
receipts oats advanced about 5c since Mon
day, No. 1 selling readily at COc on Friday
and Saturday. At this price sellers could
not replace their stock.iShel) corn is very firm,
and, in fact, all cereals show up stronger than
at the beginning of the week. Hay is quiet
and wonld be more so were it not for the
wretched condition of country roads, which
prevents the bringing of it to market.
In Produce Xines.
The situation has changed very little since
last Saturday. Vegetables of all kinds con
tinue dull and weak. Killing frosts have been
withheld two weeks beyond tbe average time
of appearance and tomatoes are unhurt.
Turnips, carrots, onions cabbage and beets,
pumpkins are a drng in the market and up tbe
Allegheny Valley the numpkin crop is reported
to be the largest on record.
Potatoes have been in light supply all week,
particularly choice stock. It has been next to
impossible to get a good article of potatoes in
our market for several davs. The commission
bouses are bare of stock. Large quantities
have been condemned in the railroad yards be
cause of dry rot, and many shippers have not
ncen auie to get enoiign to pay ireignt Dins.
Full supplies from Michigan are on the way.
Our home railed potatoes are not only small in
size but few in tbe hill. The looked-for rise
in grapes did not appear and they are plenty
and cheap as ever. The first of the Catawba
crop was received within a few davs and mark
ets will be well stocked in this line
for a few weeks. At one commission house
it was learned that a carload of grapes was sold
every day of the week. The tiist of the new
Florida orange crop arrived within a day or
two. Quality is very fine and demand good at
$5 per box. in tne lines of dairy products we
notice an increasing firmness as to New York
cheese and fancy creainerv butter. Ohio cheese
is unchanged and low grade creameiy butter is
slow. There has been an improvement in de
mand for country butter since tbe beginning of
tbe week and prices are somewhat higher.
Strictly fresh eggs are in very limited supply,
and markets hare been tending upward for
some days.
Provisions and Groceries.
At last tbe provision market feels tho effect
of the heavy receipts and declining prices of
hogs, and to-day the packers of Pittsburg
agreed on lower priced hams, shoulders and
lard. The wholesale grocery trade has been
nuiet for the week pat and volnme of business
lighter than nsuaL The fact is due in a measure
to wet and bad roads. There has been no essen
tial change in prices. It is not oftcn.that sugar
continue so long without change as lias been
the case tbe past few weeks. Teas are not so
active of late, but prices continue firm.
Hides and calf skins have declined from i
to c per pound the past week. Prices of light
hides are now only 2c per pound above the
lo est point touched a year ago. Tbe declin
ing market appears when quality is at its best
for the year. Tbe lastmunth and the coming
month cattle are in good shape, and the hides
are clean and plump, and hence are most de
sirable. In spite of this tbe situation is in
favor ot the btner all along tbe line. The
greatest decline has been in buff hides and calf
skins. Heavy hides have, lion ever, joined in
the downward movement, and are p lower
than last Saturday.

Revolution In the Wheat nt More Sellers
Than Buyers The Change of Base
Duo to Weak Cables
Pork Steady.
CHICAGO Wheat Only a fair business was
transacted to-day, operators were generally
disappointed at the change in tbe market. Tbe
feeling was decidedly weaker, and, while yes
terday there was a general disposition to buy,
the reverse was tho fact to-day. Outside busi
ness was only moderate. The opening was
about the same as tbe closing yesterday, and
under freo offerings, there being a good many
selling orders on the market from the start,
prices quickly declined and then the market
hold steady for a while, prices recovering K
c, but again took fie downward course and
tnis time declined fc then followed numerous
small fluctuations, and the closing was about
yAa lower than yesterday. The weakness was
partially due to the weaker tone of cable ad
vices. The leading futures ranged as follows:

Trading of Fair Proportions, but Talues
Clipped Off a Trifle
There was a fairly active movement in local
securities during the week, but as the selling
contingent showed np in strong force values of
most of the usually active properties were cut
down fractional amounts.
Closing prices as compared with those of the
previous Saturday, show concessions in Phila
delphia Gas Central Traction, Pleasant Valley,
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal, Electric
and Switch and Signal. The only important
advance was scored by Lus'er, which recovered
nearly all tbe loss sustained by tbe raid. Pitts
burg Traction also moved up a peg.
The depression was not dne to tbe discovery
of any weak spots in the interests handled, bnt
was in sympathy with the apathy at all other
speculative centers, occasioned in part by the
employment of money in other directions and
in part by the fact that investors have abont
all the stocks they want to carry through the
rest of the year.
STTJBB0BK FACTS
In
the Shape of Figures Show Big Gains
Over Last Year.
Because Tom, Dick and Harry say that busi
ness is solid and nourishing it does not neces
sarily follow that such is tho case, but when
the manager of the Clearing Uonse gives out
figures backing up the statement there is no
longer room for doubt.
The bank clearings last week reached tbe
large total of $17,142,624 22. against $15,464,262 25
tbe previous week, and 813,886,566 35 for tbe
same week last year, snowinc a train of $3,256,
057 87 over 1880. There is no need to add any
thing to this exhibit. There is bnsincss to
show for the fignres or they would not be
given nut. The gain over last vear to date is
nearly $117,000,000.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
The Weekly Bank Statement Has bnt Little
Effect on Manipulation of Stocks
Movements in North American
the Day's Feature.
New York, October 18. The trading in the
stock market to-day clearly demonstrated the
independence of the manipulators of the street
from any and all circumstances, which ought
legitimately to have a bearing upon the real
value of securities. It has been known for
.some davs that tbe bank statement would show
a further decrease in the surplus reserve,
which for the past two or th.'ee months would
have been sufficient warrant for a raid upon
the list. But tbe temper of the street is so
completely changed that notwithstanding a
loss in the reserves of over $3,000,000 and the
complete wiping out of the surplus, tho market
to-day was strong from start to finish, closing
with "material gains in many stocks
The upward movement received also little, if
any, aid from outside sources, the foreign pur
chases being msigniticant, but the confidence
which has so lately been developed was most
noticeable, and all offerings were absorbed at
advancing figures The traders were Inclined
to discount tbe bank statement at the oDenimr.
which was made on a very qniet business at
irresular changes from last ulcht's figures
witb a majority of losses which, however, were
for slight fractions only. The strength of the
speculation became apparent in May, however,
and prices began to rise all over tbe list with
thehrst sales, and before the end of tbe first
half hour gains of per cent had been estab
lished. North American leading tbe upward
movement.
Later there was a partial reaction, but the ad
vance was soon resumed, ana tbe bank state
ment, wben issued, had no more than a passing
influence upon the course of quotations All
tbe activity was in North American. The ad
vances are very uniform in tbe active stocks,
but tbe pronounced movement was in Citizens
Gas, of Brooklyn, which, after retiring to 97,
rose to 100, closing at a 100, a gain of 2 ner
cent for tbe"Oay. The final changes with ex
ceptions noted, were fractions only, but most
invariably in the direction of higher prices

Bnt few words are needed to tell this tale. Two apparently perfect
beings are brought together for life. They are surrounded with all that
wealth can purchase. Every blessing has been showered upon them, save
one, and cheerfully would they relinquish all for that blessinar a

Sterility is often the result of carelessness, or, to put it stronger,

FHANCHISE QUESTION DISPOSED OF.
The Jackson Convention Completes an Im
portant Portion of Its Task.
Jackson, .Miss., October 18. The Fran
chise Committee, of the Constitutional Con
vention, scoied another victory to-day by
securing the adoption of their re
port and an ordinance. Among other pro
visions, the report provides that suitable
provision shall be made to correct
improper registration and to secure
franchise to those entitled to it. Persons
who cannot read any section ot the Con
stitution, bnt who are nevertheless qualified
electors, shall not be registered wit iu four
months next before any election. The term
of all officers under tbe Constitution sball
be rour years. Tbe ordinance provides that
a general election shall be held on the first
Tuesday alter the first Monday in Novem
ber, 1891, for three Kailroad Commissioners,
and for members of ttie Legislature, Dis
trict Attorney and county officers, whose
terms shall expire January "l, 1806.
This seems to be a satisfactory settlement
of a question that threatened to split the
convention in twain. One party contended
that it would be necessary to extend tbe
terms of all the last named officers for two
years; the other side opposed the scheme as
a usurpation.
