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.

EE CALLS IT SILLY TALK.
Her. E. It. Donchoo Argaes Against the
Eight-Hour Movement.
Rev. E. R. 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 WOBD FOB THE STAGE.
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

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.' "

Work on tbe Panama Canal
WILL BE RESUMED IN TWO MOKTHS.
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

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-

MADE THEM ALL LAUGH.
An Odd Fist Fight That Amused a Large
Sunday Crowd.
Two Poies,Nlck Pmce and Stephen Applezie,
were arrested at 9 o'clock last night and sent to
the Seventeenth ward police station, charged
by (juicer Adair with disorderly conduct.
Pince is a" small but very compact and muscu
lar man; Applezie measures over six feet, but
is exceedingly tbin. From a cause that could
uot be learned thoy engaged in a personal en
counter on Forty-seventh street. The contrast
in their respective sizes was so marked that a
large crowd was Soon attracted, and, while
many applauded the pluck of tbe little man,
the larger one won tbe admiration of an almost
equal number by tbe manner in which be held
the irate, muscular little man at arm's reach
and punisbed him.
The noisy demonstration of the crowd gave
the warning to the police, and Officer Adair ar
rested both combatants.
