FOR FKEEDMKK'S AID. "Wide Field of Labor Open for the Southern Educational Society. TWO SEW CflUUCHES DEDICATED. EeT. Dr. Townsend Has a Good Word to Sar for the Theater and Drama. OTHER PULPIT TOPICS OP IESTEEDAT Kev. E. L. Prentiss, D. D., of Knoxville, TeDn., preached last evening at the West End M. E. Church. Kev. Prentiss is here iu connection with the celebration of the twenty-fifth annivtrsary of the Freedman's Aid and Southern Educational Society, and his remarks were on the work of the organi zation, which is an adjunct of the church. He said: "The white people of the South argne that this is a white man's Government, and they do not propose to have negroes in official positions. Tho Constitution of the United States says nothing about either white or black, but that all men are equal. When the black man has his legal rights, all anxiety over the race problem may be at an end. The negro does not ask for the social equality which some whites so much object to. They love their own race more than anything else. This is made evident by the fact that all through the South mulattoes are crowing less in number, white pure blacks are steadily increasing, so that before many years those of mixed blood will be compara tively few. No Room for Colonization Agents. "People talk of sendinc the negroes out of the country and colonizing them somewhere else. But let me tell yon that the fate of John Brown is awaltinc the man who goes into the South and announces himself a colonization agent. The Southern whites are just as much opposed to colonization as they were to emanci pation. The neuro is the bone and smew of the South, and to take him away would kill every industry there. "The negro has clearly proven that he can bo educated, and that he desirqs it. We have hundreds of them in our Institutions who are livinc on 90 cents a week to be able to get an education. The black man can make and save money as well as be faithful to a trust. Of course the South has plonty o bad. worthless negroes, but the race is steadily growing better. I have noticed numerous instances where the very blacaest of them were much more lntelli cent than the mulattoes, which is ,a significant fact."' Rev. Mr. Prentiss closed by telling about the procress of the Educational Society, stating that last year 0,000 was expended in the cause, and for the cominc ear they could put 1500,000 to cood use. A collection was raised for the beneht of the cause. Some Oilier Similar Exereises. At the Buena Vista Street Church yesterday morning Kev. D. L. Aultman, D.

Douehoo preached yesterday In the Eighth Presbyterian Church on the text: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou cat bread till thon return unto the ground." He said: Work is often regarded as a pnnlshment tor man's first transgression. Our penal laws make labor a penalty for crimes committed. It is a mistake to so look unon work. Adam and Eve worked from morn to night in the days of their innocency and never accounted it punishment. It was the ground that God cursed so that man's labors were, attended with natural difficulties which often would make labor a drudgery. This world of ours is not a convict camp, nor are the men and women who work for their living to be looked upon withpitv or contempt. The law o" work is a universal law, applicable to eveiy man and woman. Our work is to be a life work. "Man goeth forth unto his work, and to bis labor until the evening." Some work awaits us eacb day, and God expects of rach of us a full day's work and no shirking. A great deal or silly talk Is indulged in about the number of honrs which should constitute a dav's work, as though circumstances had noth ing to do with determining tun matter. If un scrupulous employers had their way of It they would make 18 hours a day's work, while those laboring men who regard labor as a curse and the only redeeming quality about it tbe wages, would cartail tbo hours until tney would be about what a first-class teacher of gymnastics would regard as proper to be devoted to health ful exercise. The attempt to establish a rigid rule on this subject is absurd and mischievous in the extreme. Some kinds of labor are so exhaustive that the hours should necessarily be short, while others require longer hours in order that the employer may carry out his cuntracts without labsolutc loss. Each case should be decided upon its own merits. For a man to force his employer to pav lu hours wages for eight hours work is unjust, lttle for an employer to refuse to allow their men to work but eight hours, as is tbe case is the coke regious at this time, when tho men are satisfied with a correspond ing reduction in their wages, is tyrannical. The precipitation of a strike upon the whole cottn try at this particular time cannot but result disastrously to all concerned. A HEW HEBREW CHUBCH. Dedication Services by the Sbaro Torah Congregation, Yesterday, The dedication and consecration services of the Sharo Torah Congregation and its new church were held yesterday afternoon at the church. No. 35 Townsend street. The services were conducted entirely in Hebrew. Rabbi Ziwitz preached tbe dedication sermon and ad dresses, were made by Rev. W. T. Crnn, Rev. S. F. Salenger, Sir Arnold and Sir Kornblum. Rabbi Ziwitz at the conclusion of bit sermon turned over the key of the cnurch to the Board of Trustees. The music was of a very high order and was under the direction of M. Sllbcrman, who had a trained choir of boys to assist him. Tbe congregation of Sharo Torah is a new one, having been organized about a mouth. It numbers about 75 members and has for its pastor Rabbi Ziwitz. They secured the ulil Welsh church that stands at No. S3 Townsend street. paing for it about $11,100. The church was thoroughly renovated and by yesterday was ready for dedication.

Townsend Say Some Sermons Are Dr. "Worse Than Some Plays. Rev. J. G. Townsend. D. D., of the Unitarian Church, yesterday took occasion to reply to Rev. David McAllister's recent attacks on the morality of the drama and stage of to-day. Daring the course of his remarks be said: Rev. Mr. McAllister, or this city, in recent sermons violently denounced the stage. He desires not the purification of the stage, but its destruction. He declares that every play is Immoral, and that no one can attend the tbeater and keep hu moral or Christain purity. This is a very grave charge. It is true ihere are im moral plavs: but, then, there are immoral ser mons; sermons that are trickey. sycophantic and cowardlv. There are Immoral actors, but then there-are immoral lawyers, physicians and ministers. If ministers are more moral than actors, is it not because tbey bava less temptation,, more social restraint, tbe environment of hume, and a churehly poll ce fences put up all around tbemf But then, alast too often even these fences are not strong enough. Then, as to immodesty In dress, are not costumes worn in the social salon even more Immodest, though tbe ladles who wear them are in good membership in our most pop ular churches? But while admitting the abuses of tbe stage, 1 maintain that largely its influ ence is educational and ethical. A great actor like Edwin Booth is almost always a great ethical teacher. A great actor awakes not only the affections, the mind, but the -conscience. Take away tho stage from our city and you would take away one of the strongest moral safeeunrds. Mr. McAllister asks if one would feel like reading the Bible after listening to a play. Coming, a year or two aco, from Booth's rendition of lago in 'Othello," I was just TU that mental and moral exaltation when the great passages of the Bible chimed and swelled like the immortal Fifth Symphony of Beethoven. "Mr. McAllister savs that every play has immoral suggestions in it. But mav not the suggestions come from tho hearer? To the impure all things are im pure. Vice sees itself even in virtne. I have several times, since coming to Pittsburg, taken my family to the theatre, and 1 saw nothing that the most innocent might not have seen, though I shall have to confess that I have heard plays as dull ana juice less as some of Brother McAllister's sermons or my own. It is true many plays merely amuse. But to give pleasure is no slight thing. Pleasure is moral, not immoral. A smile Is as divine as a sigh. If Brother McAllister would go and listen to some of the best plays. Interpreted by onr great actors, he would not so rashly criti cise the stage as a whole. That tho ttage needs to be purified I do not doubt- May tbe time soon come when tbe stage shall need no de fense. BIGHTS FOB THE BED HAH. Kev. W. F. KIcliardson Preached Before the Women's Indian Association. Last evening Rev. W.' F. Richardson preached before the Women's Indian Associa tion of Western Pennsylvania at the First Christian Church, Montgomery avenuo and Arch street, Allegheny. The church was crowded to the doors. The minister took up the Indian question aud gave a complete history of it. Ho advocated better laws, better agents and more education as a solution of the nresent difficulties. His Pulpit FlUed by Another. Rev. S. W. McCorkle, of tbe First Congrega tional Church, Allegheny, was assisted In yes terday morning's services by Rev. A. Roda baugh, whose theme was: "The Sufficiency of Christ." Mr. McCorkle announced that on next Sunday morning he would preach on "Chris tianity and the Labor Problem-" DIFFICULTY THBEATEHED. The Homestead Sub-Lodges of the Amal gamated Support Batio Lodge The joint meeting of the seven sub-lodges of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers was held in tbe new Opera House at Homestead, at 10 o'clock A. K. yesterday. Tho hall was crowded to suffoca tion, and the best of order and harmony pre vailed. Tbe object of the meeting was to dis cuss the grievance of "Basic" lodge. As was stated in Saturday's issue of The Dispatch, the above named lodge promulgated a scale and presented it to tbe firm for its signature. After much haggling aud a delaylof weeks the firm finally refused to consider the men's scale, and substituted "a little scale of Its own.-' as tbey expressed It. Tbey declared the men w ould have to accept it before tbey would start the mill. Both scales were compared at the meeting yesterday, and the men, by unanimous vote, indorsed the seal: and the-action of the confer ence committee, and resolved to" stand bv the men in their demand. Speeches were made by the brightest and most-intelligent as well as the most conservative workmen, some of them in the employ of the Carnegies for years. The following resolutions weie then passed by the meeting: "Whereas. The importation of Plnkerton de tcctives upon scenes of labor troublei has caused the shedding of innocent blood in many sections of our lair State, "Resolved, That wc denounce the same and call upon our representatives in the Legislature aud the Senate to use all honorable means for the passage of the following named bills: First, prohibiting the importation of Pinkcrton de tectives; second, the repeal or modification of the conspiracy laws, and also the passage of the bill known as the Employers' Liability Bin.' " INDORSING EIGHT H0TJBS. Typographical Union IXeolutes In Support of the Carpenters Demand. At a meeting of Typographical Union No, 7 yesterday the following resolutions were adopted: "Whereas, The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of Allegheny county, affiliated with tbe American Federation of Labor, have resolved to demaud a working day of eight hours on May 1; and "Whereas, Such action on theirpart has been opposed by tbo Builders' Exchange, of this city, who declared that they will never grant the just demands of the carpenters; therefore, be it "Resolved, That Typographical Union No. 7 heartily indorses the movement or the carpen ter in behalf of the eight-bour work day, and extend to them its undivided support." TWO M0BEMEK DBOPPED. Officers Itahl aud Smith. Suspended From the Allegheny Force. Two more officers fell from grace In the Allegheny police department last night. They were William Smith and William Rabl. Yester day morning about 2 o'clock tbey arrested two young men who were out driving. Some one told tnem to arrest them and they did so with out finding out the reason or the man's name. Of course tbey bad nothing to bring against the men at the bearing. The men were re leased and so were the officers until tbey find tbe man who is to make the charge. Superin tendent Math says he does not want officers who act like school boys. Struck by a Train and Killed. The Coroner received a telegram yesterday stating that Louis Fink had been run over by a train at Scott Haven on Saturday, and received injuries from which he died yeiterday. Justice ot the Peace McPhersfJn was authorized to hold an inquest. Stole a Good Snnday'DInner.

A TIsitor Talks Interestingly on South American Matters. TUB INTERNATIONAL EAILK0AD A GO The opportunity of a gentleman being in the city who is intimately acquainted with, and has traveled extensively through, Soutli America, was taken to obtain some in formation regarding the condition of affairs there, and the prospect of extended business relations between that country aud tbe United States. Mr. G. Muellierro was at the Duquesne last night, and though at first reluctant to be quoted for what he might say, he finally acquiesced, and spoke very interestingly regarding various matters in relation to the Southern Kepublics. Mr. Muellierro has information to the effect that work on the Panama canal will be resumed within a few months, He has reason to be lieve that within a short time tbe Interna tional Kailroad Commission will bring forward a statement which will show that project to be nearer materialization than is generally supposed. He speaks very pertinently tonching tlje backwardness of American manufacturers'' in .ascertaining the, requirements of.the South American people, add in seeking to sell them goods that they don't want rather than mer chandise that they do. Possibilities' in the Railroad Way. Mr. Muellierro recently met members of the International Kailroad Commission in Philadelphia. They had had an interview with an official of one of the trupc lines, and were able to, express tbe belief that the railroad project would be nut on a material basis in a short time. The construction of a road between the City of Mexico and Buenos Ayres, a distance of between 4,000 and 4.500 miles, will provide tbe means of communica tion necessary to an interchange of trade be tween tbe two countries, a drawback, which will, no doubt, be remedied in time. Is the bad management which obtains in Mexi can domestic affairs. A very much larger trade than is carried on now would exist be tween Mexico and the States it the Customs department were managed on business princi ples. Goods from this country can be entered only with a great deal of trouble and delay.and on payment of duties and fines for unimportant and unintentional infringement ot a rule. Mr. Muellierro is in receipt of information, indirectly, from Franco which leads him to be lieve that the Panama project will be revived. He was Informed, when in New York, that Mr. Slaven, of tbe Slaven Dredging Company, bad been instructed to have his two dredges pre pared for work, and to remove them lrom Grcytown to Colon, as work on the canal would bo resumed within a few months. This company constructed the first 18 miles of the canal, and is credited with having made 13.500,000 out of tbe contract. The cost ot the two dredges was 500.000 each. Mr. Slaven held stock of tbe Panama Railroad Company as security for the payment of a bal ance of $450,000 due to bim by the projectors, and ibis amount, less 23,000 wbich he had thrown off, bad since been paid to him. A Railroad That Pays Handsomely. Mr. Muellierro says that the Panama Rail road is one of the best-paying railways in the world, bet A is not surprising when it is stated that the fare from Aspinwall to Panama, a dis tance of 45 miles, used to .be $25; it has since been reduced. "I was at Panama," continued Mr. Muellierro. "when operations on the canal were in progress. The mortality was some thing uuusual, and death came to be regarded as a thlpg which scarcely deserved a thought. There were 4,500 graves in the cemetery, of engineers, clerks and officials who had been sent ont from France in connection with the project, and tbo mortality among tbe workmen averaged 200 deaths a day. The bodies uf these men wore treated rather unceremoniously. 'If money sufficient to buy a coffin were not found on a body, tbe corpse was thrown into tbe ditch and buried untfer the earth discharged from tbe nrst gravel tram which came along. Thou sands of bodies were buried in this man ner, and when tbe earth bad settled some of Ibem would reappear. and, under tbe influence of the sun, eon tribute added unwbolesomeness to tbe already deadly nature of the climate. The Jamaican negroes wore found to stand the climate better than any other people, and tbey were brought there in shiploads, but even these men suffered terribly from fever, and died in large numbers. The projectors wanted to import 10,000 coolies from China to carry on this work, as they have tbe reputation of being very hardy, but the Colombian Gov ernment would not allow It. From what I un derstand the French people have by no means given up the project, and I expect to hear of a resumption of work on the canal within two or three months. One Look Aroand Is Enough. J'The place has been given such a bad repute for its climate that it may be difficult to lnduco French officials to live there. When I was there it was common for one-half of a shipload of men who had been sent out to return, satis fied with a mere glance at the place, and every returning vessel carried back many of those -who had been there but a short time.'' Mr. Muellierro says that the Nicaragua canal project is proceeding very slowly, and be hears that there is quite a lack of financial backing to tne undertaking. The Argentmo Republic, In the estimation of Mr. Muellierro, is tho most advanced of the Southern Republics in the matter of commer cial progress. Business is suffering now some what, owing to the Baring failure, which has caused a stringency in tbe money market and shortened credits, but the people are dally be coming more alive to the advantages of trad ing facilities, and are prepared to extend their commerce at every opportunity. Buenos A) res has increased in population to a wonderful de gree in a few years, and the number of inhabi tants now exceeds SUO.000, The houses of tbe wealthier people are luxuriously furnished, aud the residences are generally very costly. Tbe people spend money freely, but the bulk of it, instead of coming to this country, goes to France and Italy and England. "The American manufacturer," remarked Mr. Muellierro, in this connection, "is alto gether too independent. He wants to force on our people in the Southern countries what he thinks they onght to buy. rather than what they want to buy. Instead of consulting their tastes, ascertaining their habits, and informing himself regarding tho needs of the dcodIc, and then manufacturing his goods to suit his trade, be consults the customs that prevail here, and sends into those markets goods of a character that the people don't want, and, of course, won't buy. Caterers to the People's Tastes. "It Is different with the French and Ger mans. They send over agents periodically whoso business it is to see what the people want, and when they return they are In a posi tion to trade with these countries to the best advantage. Iu this way they secure nearly the whole. of the trade. If Americans were to adopt tbe same plan tbey would get a large amount of custom that now goes to Europe. It would pay American manufacturers iu a par ticular line of busine-s to club together and seudanageut into these countries tor the sole purpose of acquiring experience regarding the conditions or life, and tbe requirements and character of the people. The American 'drum mer! has no equal in the world, but he labors under great disadvantages In trying to do busi ness on American principles among people who are widely different In character, temperament and customs from bis na inn." Mr. Muellierro thinks Venezuela will become more prosperous when tho political influences which now affect her commercial progress are abated or changed for tbe better "It Is a pity," he said, "that tho President should not have a longer tenure of office than two years. It is notorious that the past incum bents of the office have nsed the position more for their own aggrandizement and emolument than in the interests of the people. Guzman Blanco, who was President up to five years ago, and served for several terms, used- his opportunities to some advantage. He accumu lated an Immense fortune, and by virtue of his wealth aud power, practically did what he pleased. He is now HviDg in Paris on a for tune of $22,000,000, which he acquired in such a manner that he dare not return to'Veuezuela. A Great Future for Venezuela. "The country has a future before It, and there are signs that it will shake off the apathy which has characterized its administration. and encourage better business relations with 1 other countries. The election of The bar' to the President;!-would be a step In the Hue of progress, as he is a man who would administer affairs very differently from bU, predecessors. Venezuela has tbe French system ot coinage, andTier monetary system Is tho most perfect of any of the Southern Republic." Mr. Muellierro thinks that Chicago, bv virtne of her geographical position, is destined to be come one of tbe greatest cities the world ever i saw. He says that wben the canal connecting I 'her with the Mississippi Is constructed she will -PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, have direct communication with South Amer ica, and that she should secure the bulk of tbe trade. TEN CENTS A BITE About the Price of Spring Chickens at Pres ent Incabators as an Aid to Early Deli cacies Hens Relieved of Maternal Du ties. Notwithstanding that winter has lingered long in spring's lap and the snow water is still .coming from the mountains, tbe regu lar crop of spring chicked is on hand, aud at 10 cents a bite the cnlture of this delicacy suggests large profits to some persons, and people who run incubators admit that tbe busi ness pays if tbe Strictest possible attention be given It, but a man cannot loaf around tbe village grocery and profitably run an Incubator at tbe same time. There is a suspicion that most of tbe dressed springers are late fall chicks that have been kept in cold storage all winter, but the number ot coeps with chirpers on wbich tbo down has scarce changed to feathers prove that the in cubator is getting its work in numerously through tbe country, and that it pays. McOabe Brothers, of Coraopolls, who are chicken baby farmers, state that unwearied at tention to an incubator pays, but that slipshod management does not. They say they raise 90 per cent of the number tbey hatch, wbich is rather above what the average natural mother accomplishes. Some people who have experience say that bringing up poultry "by hand," as Mrs. Joe Gargery would Ijare phrased it, is all right for market, but if breeding for points or fpr stylo and strength, tbe natural mother, accomplishes, tbe best result. It is said tho temperature of an Incubator snouiu oe anout 1U2" or lira- cnicten r anreiv heit. Kgcs should be moistened 'during incu bation. During the first week one moisture fian is placed in the incubator, and during the ast four or five days f our moisture pans aro put in. Explicit directions, however, accom pany each incubator that leaves a factory, so tbat where any person wants to benefit hu manity by making two chicks or 00 grow where but one grew before, he can easily post himself. To relievo the mother of maternal duty may seem at first thought to some people a kindness, but it is not. As soon as a hen has discarded youthful Canities, motherhood becomes a great solace to ber, unless she belongs to tbe Leghorn species, and though she may lay a thousand eggs in tbe course of a well-spent yillgrimage, yet she finally goes into the pot with a very pronounced impression that ber life has been a failure. Of course, ber owner is prone to look at tbe unsentimental side of poultry economy. But if a Pytbagorean, bo could not conscien tiously manufacture poultry by steaml J- UAMED THE PKIZE WHTNEBS.
