THE BATTLE FOR TOE WOODEN CROSS
rSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Brooklyn, November 1G. This morn
ins in the Academy of Music iu this city,
and this evening at the service in the New
York Academy of Music, Dr. Talmage
preached the eighth of the series of sermons
he is giving on his tour in Palestine. At
both services the respective buildings were
crowded to tneir utmost capacity in five
minutes after the doors were opened, and all
who came later were unable to get in. Dr.
Talmage's subject was "Among the Be
douins, and his text, lumbers 10:31: "For
asmuch as thou kuowest how we are to en
camp in the wilderness." He said:
Night after night we have slept in tent in
Palestine. There are large villages of Bedouins
without a house, and for three thousand ears
the people of those places have lived in black
tents, made out of dj-cd skins, and when the
winds and storms wore out and tore lose those
coverings, others of the same kind took their
places. Noah lived in a tent. Abraham in a
tent. Jacob pitched his tent on the mountain.
Isaac pitched his tent in the Talley. Lot pitched
his tent toward tiodom. In a tent the woman
Jael nailed Siscra, the General, to the ground,
first having given him sour milk called "leben"
as a soporific to make him soundly sleep, that
being the effect of such nutrition, as modern
travelers can testify. The S3Tian army in a
tent. The ancient battle shout was "To your
tents, O Israel!" Paul was a tent-maker. In
deed, Isaiah, magnificently poetic, indicates
that all the human race live under a blue tent
wben he says that God "btretcheth out the
heavens as a curtain and spreadeth them out as
a tent to dwell in. 'and Hezekiah compares
death to the striking of a tent, a Inc "Jly age
is removed from me as a shepherd's tent."
AN ILLUSTRATION EXPLAINED.
Nothing surprised me S3 much ao the per
sistence or everything. A sheep or horse tails
dead and, though the sky may one minute be
fore be clear of all wings, in five minutes after
the skies are black with eagles cawing, scream
ing, plunging, fighting for room, contending tor
largest morsels of the cxlinct quadruped. Ah,
con 1 understand the force of Christ's illustra
tion when He said: "Wheresoever the carcase
is there will the eagles be gathered together."
The longevity of those eagles is wonderful.
Thej live 50 or 60 and sometimes 100 ears. Ah,
that explains w hat David meant when he says,
Thy outh is renewed like the eagle's." I saw
a shepherd with the folds of his coat far bent
outward and 1 wondered what was contained in
that amptituue of apparel and 1 said to the
dragoman. "What has that shepherd got under
his coat?" And the dragoman said: "It is a
very oung lamb he is carrying: it is too young
ani too weak and too cold to keep up with the
flock." At that monent I saw the lamb put
its head out from the shepherd's bosom and I
said, "There it is now. Isaiah's description of
the tenderness of God 'He shall gather the
lambs with His arm and carry them in His
bosom.' "
Pa-sing bv a village home, in the Holy Land,
about noon, I saw u creat crowd in and around
a private house, and said to the dragoman:
"David, what is going on there?" He said:
"Somebody has recently died there and their
neighbors go in for several days after to sit
down and weep with the bereaved." There it is.
I said, the old scriptural custom: "And many of
the Jens came to Martha and Mary, to comfort
them concerning their brother." Early in the
morning passing by a cemetery in the Holy
Land, I saw among the graes about 50 women
dressed m black, and thevwere crying: "Oh,
ray child!" "Oh. mv husband!" "Oh, my
fatherl" Oh. my mother!" Our dragoman
told us that eiery morning very early for three
mornings after a burial, the women go to the
sepulchre.and after that every week very early
foraear. As I taw this group just after day
break, I said: There it i again, tne same old
custom referred to in Luke, the evangelist.
wueie us sajs: certain women wnicn were
early at the sepulchre."
a historic sror.
But here we found ourselves at Jacob's well,
the most famous well in history, most dis
tinguished for two things, bocause it 'belonged
to the old patriarch after whom it was named,
and for the w onderf ul things which Christ said,
seated on this well curb, to the Samaritan
woman. We dismount from our horses in a
drizzling rain, and our dragoman, climbing up
to tne well over the slippery stones, stumbles
and frightens us all by neatly falling into it. I
measured the well at the top and found it six
feet from edge to edge. Some grass and weeds
and thorny growths overhang it. In one place
the roof is broken through. Larce stones em
bank the wall on all sides. Ourdragoinan took
pebbles and dropped thi-m in. and from the
lime they left his hand to the instant they
clicked on the bottom you could hear it was
deep, though noi as deep as once, for every day
travelers are applwng the same test, and
though in the time of Maundrell, the traveler,
the well was 165 feet deep, now it is only 75. So
great is the ennosit of the world to know
about that well, that uuring the dry season a
Captain Andersun descended into this well: at
one place the sides w ere so close hehadtoputhis
bands over his bead in order to get through,
and then he fainted away and lav at the bottom
of the well as though dead, until Hours after
recovery, when he came to the snrface.
It is not like other wells digged down to a
fonntatn that fills it, but a reservoir to catch
the tailing rains and to that Christ refers when
speaking to the Samaritan woman about a
spiritual supply: he said that he would, if askod,
have given ner "living water:" that Is. water
from a flowing spring in distinction from the
water of that well which was rain water. But
why did Jacob make a reservoir there when
there is plenty of water all around and abund
ance of springs and fountains and seemingly
no need of that reservoir? Why did Jacob go
to the vast expense of boring and digging a
well perhaps 200 feet deep as first completed,
when, by going a little way off he could have
water from other fountains at little or no ex
pense? Ah, Jacob was wise. He wanted his
own well. Quarrels and wars might arise with
other tribes and the supply of water might be
cut off, so the shovels mid pick-axs and boring
instruments were ordered and the well of
nearly 4,000 years ago was sunk through the
solid rock.
THE LESSOX TO BE DRAW".
"When Jacob thus wisely insisted on having
bis own well he taught us not to be unneces
sary dependent on others. Independence of
business character. Independence cf religious
character. Have your own well of grace, your
own well of courage, your own well of divine

to be dependent on others. But if God has
given you health, common sense, and two eyes,

Young man. drop cigars, and cigarettes, and

only $500 income a year!" says some one. Then
spend 100 of it in living and 10 per cent of it

J1.00U a year, spend 5800 of it iu living 10 per

Much it said about "good luck," but people I
who are industrious and self-denying almost
always have good luck. You can afford to be
laughed ,at because of your application and
economy, for when you get your well dug, and
filled, it will be your turn to laugh.
But look up from this' famous well, and see
two mountains and the plains between them
on which was gathered the largest religions
audience that ever assembled on earth, about
00.000 people. Mount Gerizim, about 800 feet
high, ou one side, and on the other Mount
Ebal, the Jormer called the Mount of Blessing
and the latter the Mount of Cursing. At Josh
ua's command six tribes stood on Mount
Gerizim and read the blessings lor koeping the
law, and six tribes stood on Mount Ebal read
ing the curses for breaking the law, while the
500,000 pcoplo on the plain cried Amen with an
emphasis that must have made the earth
tremble. "I do not believe that," says some
one, "for those mountain tops are two miles
apart, and how could a voice be heard from top
to top?" My answer is that while the tops are
tno miles apart, the bases of the mountains are
only half a mile apart, and the tribes stood on
the sides of the mountains, and the air is so
cleat, and the acoustic qualities of this great
natural amphitheater so perfect that voices can
be distinctly heard from mountain to mountain
as has been demonstrated by travelers 50 times
in the last b0 years.
SORROWING PARENTS.
On and on we ride until now, we have come
to Shilob, a dead city on a hill surrounded by
rocks, sheep, goats, olive gardens and vine
yards. Here good Eli fell backward and broke
his neck, and lay dead at the newsfrom his bad
boys Phineas and Hophni; and life is not worth
living after one's children have turned out
badly, and more fortunate was Eli, instantly
expiring under such tidings, than those parents
who, their children recreant and profligate,
live on with broken hearts to see them going
down into deeper and deeper plunge. Thero
are fathers and mothe'S here to-day to whom
death would be happy release because of their
recreant sons. And if there be recreant sous
here present, and vnnr parents be far away.
why not bow your bead in lepentance, and at
tne close oi mis service go to tne teicgrapn
office and put it on the wins of the licbtning
that you have turned from your evil ways?
lieloro anotner 24 hours nave passed take vour
feet off the sad hearts at the old homestead.
Home to thy God, O prodigal!
Many, many letters do I get in purport say
ing: My sou is in your cities, we have not heard
from him for some time; we fear something is
wrong: hunt him np and say a good word to
him; his mother is almost crazy about him; he
is a child of many prayers. But how can I hunt
him up unless he be in this audience? Where
are you, my boy? On the main floor, or on this
platform, or in these boxes, or in these great
galleries? Where are you? Lift your right
hand. I have a message from home. Your
father is anxious about yon, your mother is
praying for you. Your God is calling for you.
Or will you wait until Eli falls back lifeless,
and the heart against which you lay in infancy
ceases to beat? What a"story to tell in eternity
that you killed her? My God! Avert that catas
trophe. A WELCOME CHANGE.
But I turn from this Shiloh of Eli's sudden,
deceaso under bad news from bis boys, and find
close by what is called the "Meadow of the
Feast." While this ancient city was in the
height of its prosperity, on this "Meadow of
the Feast" there was an annual ball, where
the maidens of the city amid clapping cymbals
and a blare of trumpets danced in a glee, upon
w hich thousands of spectators gazed. But no
dance since the world stood ever broke up in
such a strange way as the one the Bible de
scribes. One nightwhile by the light of the
lamps and torches these gayeties went on, 200
Benjamites, who had been hidden behind the
rocks and among the trees, dashed upon the
scene. They came, not to injnre or destroy,
but wishing to set up households of their own,
the women of their owu land having been slain
in battle, and bv preconcerted arrangement
each one of the 200 Benjamites 86ized the one
whom be chose for the queen of his home, and
carried her away to large estato and beautiful
residence, for these 200 Benjamites had inher
ited the wealth of a nation.
As to-day near Shiloh we look at the "Meadow
of the Feast," where the maidens danced that
night and at the mountain gorge np which the
Benjamites carried their brides, we bethink
ourselves of the better land and the better
times in which we live, when such scenes are
an impossibility, and amid orderly groups and
with prayer and benediction, and breath of
orange blossoms and the roll of the wedding
march, marriage is solemnized, and with oath
recorded in heaven, two mortals start arm in
arm on a journey, to last until death do them
part. Upon every such marriage altar may
there come the blessing of Him "who setteth
the solitarv in families." Side by side on the
path of life! Side by side in their graves! Side
by side In heaven!
But we must this afternoon, our last day be
fore reaching Nazareth, pitch our tent on the
most famous battlefield of all time the plain
of Esdraelon. What must have been the feel
ings of the Prince of Peace as he crossed it on
the way from Jerusalem to Nazareth! Not a
flower blooms there but has in its veins the in
herited blood of flowers that drank the blood of
fallen armies.
AX ABSORBING SCENE.
To me the plain was the mor absorbing be
cause of the desperate battles here and in re
gions round in which the Holy Cross, the very
two pieces of wood on which Jesus was sup
posed to have been crucified, was carried as a
standard at the head of the Christian, host: and
that night, closing my eyes in my tent on the
plains of Esdraelon for there are some things
we can see better with eyes shut than open
the scenes of that ancient war come before me.
The twelfth century was closing, and Saladin
at the head of 80,000 mounted troops n as cry
ing: "Ho for Jerusalem! Ho for all Palestine!"
and before them everything went down, but
not without unparalleled resistance. In one
place ISO Christians were surrounded bv many
thousands of furious Mohammedans. For one
whole day the 130 held out against these
thousands. Tennyson's "six hundred" when
"some one had blundered" were eclipsed by
these 130 fighting for the Holv Cross. They
took bold the lances which had pierced them
with death wounds, and, pulling them out of
their own breasts and sides, hurled them back
again at the enemy.
On went the fight until all but one Christian
bad fallen and be. mounted on the last bor.e,
wielded his battle-ax right and left till his
horse fell under the plunge of the javelins and
the rider, making the sign of the cross toward
the sky, gave up his life on the point of a score
of spears. But soon after, the last battlo came.
History portravs it, poetry chants it. painting
colors it, and all ages admire that last struggle
to keep in possession the wooden cross on
which Jesus was said to have expired. It was
a battle In which mingled the fury of devils
and the grandeur of angels. Thousands of
dead Christians on this side. Thousands of
dead Mohammedans on the other side. The
battle was hottest close around the wooden
cross upheld by the Bishop of Ptolemais. him
self wounded and dying. And when the Bishop
of Ptolemais dropped dead, the Bishop of
Lydda seized the cross and again lifted it, car
rying it onward into a wilder and fiercer fight,
and with sword against javelin, and battle-ax
upon helmet, and piercing spear against splint
ering shield, horses and men tumbled into het
erogeneous death.
ONLY A SEEMING DEFEAT.
Now, the wooden cross, on which the armies
of Christians had kept their eye, begins to
waver, begins to descend. It falls! and the
wailing of the Christain host at its disappear
ance drowns the huzzah of the victorious Mos
lems. But that standard of the cross only
seemed to fall. It rides the sky to-day in tri
umph. Fire hundred million souls, the might
iest army of the ages, are following it, and
where that goes they will go, across the earth
and up the mighty steeps of the heavens. In
the twelfth century It seemed to go down, but
in tbe nineteenth century it is the mightiest
symbol of glory and triumph, and means more
than any other standard, whether inscribed
with eagle, or lion, or bear, or star, or crescent.
That which Saladin trampled on the plain of
Esdraelon. I lift to-day for yonr marshalling.
The cross! The cross! The foot of it planted
in the earth it saves, tbe top of it pointing to
tbe heavens, to which it will take you, and tbe
out-spread beam of it like outstretched arms
of invitation to all nations. Kneel at its foot.
Lift your eye to its victim. Swear eternal
allegiance to its power. And as that mighty
symbol of pain and triumph is kept before us,
"we will realize how insignificant are the little
crosses we are called to. bear, and will more
cheerfully carry them.
And then I hear the wild rush as of millions
of troops in retreat, and then tbe shout of vic
tory as lrom 1,400,000,000 throats, and then a
song as though all the armies of earth and
heaven weie joining it. clapping cymbals beat
ing the time "The kingdoms of the world are
become tbe kingdoms of our Lord and of His
Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever."

CANADA POTATOES TO THE FB0NT
office of The PrrrsBtmo Dispatch,
SATUEDAT. November 15. 1890. 1
The tanners and hide dealers of Pittsburg
and Allegheny have agreed on a new scale
of prices, to go into effect on Monday, No
vember 17. There is a drop all along the
line, with the exception of calfskins, which
are weak. Price of light hides is now within
lc of the lowest point reached a year ago,
when hides were lower than they had been
since the war. Some dealers are of the opin
ion tnat another drop may come, as mark
ets are weak at the decline, which has been in
practical operation for a week or two past.
Following Is the classification of hides and
scale of prices as agreed on by tanners and
dealers of the two cities:
Green steer hides, trimmed, 75 pounds and up,
7 cents per pound.
Green steer hides, trimmed, 60 to 76 pounds, 7JS
cents per pound.
tireen steer hides, trimmed, under 60 pounds, 5
cents per pound.
Green cow and hclfcr hides, trimmed, all
weights, 5 cents per sound.
tireen bull hides, trimmed, all welchts, 4 cents
per pound.
tireen steer hides, with one or more grubs, 1
cents per pound less.
Green cow bidet, with one or more grubs, IS
cents per pound less.
tireen bull hides, with one or more grabs, 1
cent per pmind less.
Green calfaklhs, 7 cents per pound for No. 1.
Green calfskins, 5 cents per pound for No. 2.
Harness Leather.
Trade in this line continues quiet, but there
is no more accumulation of stock in tbe bands
of tanners than is customary at this season of
tbe year. Prices of harness leather are not
changed, but a new classification has been
adopted by the Allegheny tanners, which is
given below.
- Prices of oak harness leather, taking effect No
vember 11, 18 (ten sides to the roll):
No. 1. B. No. 2.
Extra heavy harness, 200
lbs. and over 33 00 31 00 $3 00
Ilcavy harness, 160 to 100 lbs 32 00 30 00 28 00
Trace leather 30 00 34 00
Butter vs Oleo.
The butter question is one of great perplex
ity to a market editor at this date. Commis
sion men report that they can sell a good article
of country butter at 15c per pound and
less, and find it heavy stock even at these
low figures. On the other band, tbe retail gro
cer reports that he cannot get such country
rolls as his customers want under 25c to 28c,
and consumers are charged 35c per pound.
Jobbers of dairy products report that
they discourage shipments of country
butter because it is bard to sell
at any price. Said a leading jobber to-day:
"Oleo is pushing out the creamery and country
butter trade in this city. Fully four-fifths of
all that is sold here is oleo. Our trade in
creamerv butter has been steadily on the de
cline of late, and as to country butter, we can
hardlv sell it at any price. The imitations of
butter have tbe field in spite of the law. which
makes it criminal to manufacture or sell oleo
in Pennsylvania."
It is one of tbe unexplainable features of
trado that country bntter should go begging for
customers at 15c per ponnd, while fancy Elgin
creamery cannot now be laid down in Pittsburg
at less than Sic per pound. In the past week
Elgin creamery has been advanced 3c per
pound, and stilt jobbers of dairy products are
reluctant to accept shipments of country but
ter called good at less than half these figures.
Canada Potatoes.
By reference to domestic market column, it
will be seen that Canada potatoes are now com
ing to Pittsburg. A commission merchant re
ports receipts of three car-loads from that
'source, on which tbe duty was 1500, or 25 cenls
per bushel. With freight added in 40 cents
per bushel was added to lay-down cost. Cana
dian consumers aro paying less than one-half
the Pittsburg prices of potatoes this season.
This, .however, is an exception, and it is a
rare thing that this country needs to call on her
.Northern neighbor for products of garden and
farm.

An Elciting Day In the Chicago Wheat Fit
The Longs to Unload, Resulting
in a Tremendous Slaughter
of Values.
CHICAGO The wheat market exhibited all
the symptoms of a true case of panic before
trading bad been in progress over an hour to
day, but the spasms, though violent, were not of
long continuance, and during the last hour
there was a recovery of nearly 2c from the
lowest prices of the day, with the closing figures
showing a decline since yesterday of n in De
cember and fie in May. Corn and oats were
dragged down, while wheat appeared to be in
the throes of dissolution, but came up again
like corks when tbe weight of the wheat panic
lifted, and each closed with moderate gains.
Provisions were dull, and, while averaging
lower, closed with very little loss since yester
day. Pork Rather active at irregular prices.
Opening sales were made at about the closing
figures of Friday and a reduction of 5c was
quickly Submitted to. Later, prices rallied 7
f 10c, but more pressure to sell caused a weak
feeling and prices receded 1720c. Toward
the close prices rallied 7X&UUC and closed
quiet.
Lard Trading was moderately active. Puces
declined 5Q7c and closed steady at outside
figures.
Short Rib Sides A fairly active business was
transacted. Prices ruled 25c lower and
closed steady at outside figures.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

MINNEAPOLIS The demand for spot wheat
was moderate to-diir, and it was hard to sell,
owing to the unsettled state of general mar
kets. About the time the cars of fresh arriv
als came ill, tbe futures broke 3c a bushel, and
until there was a rally it was out of the ques
tion tii sell spot. A later rally brought in buy
ers that needed wheat for present use, who
bought sparingly. Receipts were large and the
slow buying made it late before much had been

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Prices are not essentially changed. Strictly
fresh eggs are very scarce, and would readily
Drlng more than outside quotations. Fancy
creamery butter is very firm. Cheese it quiet.
Markets are overstocked with poultry, and
prices show a downward tendency. Apples are
in good supply, and fancy stock Is in good de
mand at outside prices. Tropical fruits go
slow, particularly bananas aud are likely to do
so until the abundant grape crop is worked off.
The first installment of potatoes from Canada
was received by a Liberty street commission
man within a day or two. Vegetables are
quiet, with the exception of potatoes.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Baring Brothers' Troubles Have a Tre
mendous Effect on Stocks An Im
provement Toward the Close,
but Losses Aro Not
Made Good.
- New York, November 15. The stock mar
ket to-day for the two hours' session was the
liveliest we have had since the great slump of
December 15, 18S6, and for an honr or more
there existed a perfect panic amongtbe holders
of securities, especially railroad stocks, and
the declines established during that time were
greater than ever before seen in tbe same time.
The only cause of tbe excitement was the
announcement from London that tbe great
firm of Baring Brothers had been forced
to seek assistance to tide tbem
over the present financial crisis, and tbe hold
ers of stocks became panic-stricken over the
news, without reflecting that the danger had
really already passed when the Bank of En
gland and the Rothschilds came to the rescue
Reflection, however, is tbe last thing a man
thinks of when his pocketoook is in- danger,
and everyone went in to save as much out of
the wreck as possible by selling out in the
quickest time.
The early advices from London were reassur
ing, and tbe crisis was represented as over
there, and, continuing the improvement begun
yesterday, first prices were generally fraction
ally higher than yesterday's figures, with
Northern Pacific preferred up 2 per cent to
69. The announcement about tbe Barings
was thrown at the market immediately, how
ever, and the good feeling disappeared in an
instant, and from prospective buyers tbo
whole room became sellers at tbe best prices
obtainable. -The force of the decline maybe
gathered from tbe fact that in an hour Lacka
wanna had dropped away 9'i per cent to 123;
Jersey Central. 7K to 9S: Atchison, 5Ji to Et4,;
Pullman, 5 to 175; Canada Southern, b to 42;
Burlington, to 80: Rock Island. 6 to 63.
and tbe other leading stocks from 2 to 5 pet
cent.
The final losses are very material, and Lacks
wanna is off 4; Jersey Central, 1.5; Rock

Railroad bonds were active, but showed none
of the excitement or animation of stocks, and
while the sales of all issues reached 81.484,000.
tbe final changes of note were comparatively
few. The active issues comprised Atchison in
comes,' with 8191,000: Northern Pacific 6s, with
8178,000; Texas Pacific 2s. 8151,000. and tbe Kan
sas ' nd Texas 4-), with 8126.000. Prices to-night
are naturally loirer, and Atchison incomes lost
2 at 48. and Wabash 2s 2 ai 70.

Stocks Given a Number of Sensational
Twists During the Week.
The past week witnessed quite a flurry In
New York, and to some extent in Pittsburg.
Realizing assumed the 'proportions of a craze,
and cheap stuff Was to be found everywhere.
The slump was due. to tight money at tbe
speculative centers.
The storm broke on Monday, causing a de
cline all round. On Tuesdav the disturbance
was at Its height and values vanished like dis
solving views. On Wednesday thero were
symptoms of a reaction, which became quite
manifest tbe following day. The recovery was
as rapid and pronounced as tbe break, and the
opinion was very generally entertained that
everything was on its feet again. Yesterday,
however, advices from London of-the embar
rassment of the creat house of Barings, with
connections in New Yore, gave Wall street
another twist and stocks again went off. rally
ing, however, at the close. The news was re
ceived too late to affect local stocks, and the
entire list closed at about the best prices of
the week.
Local trading was quite heavy on both tbe
decline and rally. Total sales for the week
were 2,430 shares, of which Electric furnished
996: Philadelphia Gas, 590, and Pleasant Valley,
36o. Saturday's sales were 10 shares of Switch
and Signal at 15 15 Luster at 20 and 7
.Electric at 28C.

Nothing Wrong With the Money Market
Business In Good Shape.
In spite of the upheaval in Wall street and
financial troubles abroad, Pittsburg held tbe
fort last week, coming out with a splendid
record and nothing in sight to cause appre
hensions for the future. There is more than
usual significance in this. It shows clearly that
legitimate interests and values are beyond the
reach of panics.
Tbe Clearing House report is a very satisfac
tory document. It shows that bank clearings
for tbe week were nearly 83,000,000 greater than
for the corresponding time laxt year, and more
than S1.000.000 In excess of those for tbe previous
week. The gain over 1SS9 to date is 8157,760,
