PiTTSBIIRG- DISPATCH MONDAX ' AP&IL 20, 18911 TALMAGE'S SBRMOH. Tlie Brooklyn Divine Compares Ee ligion and the Crystal. BEAUTIFUL AND TRANSPARENT. People Consider Their Crosses Too Much and Kot the Crown. ALL PERSONS CAS EASILY EE SATED 1BFECIA.L TELEGRAM TO THS DISPATCH.I Kew Yobk, April 19. The eagerness to hear Dr. TalmaRe's sermons at services on Sunday evenings in this city, continues un abated. As usual, there was this evening a dense mass of people waiting outside the Academy of Music long before the hour for commencement and every seat in the huge building was occupied in a few minutes after the doors were opened. Dr. Talmage bad preached to an immense audience in the morning in the Brooklyn Academy of Music His text was: "The crystal cannot f qual it" Job 28:7. Many or the precious stones of the Bible hare come to prompt recognition. Bat for the pres ent I take up the less valuable crystal. Job, lu my text, compares saving wisdom with a speci men of topaz Au infidel chemist or mineral ogist would pronounce the latter worth more than the former, but Job makes an Intelligent comparison, looks at religion and then looks at the crystal and pronounces the former as of far superior value to the latter, exclaiming in the words of mv text, "the crystal cannot equal it" Now, It is not a part of my cermonic design to depreciate the cnstal, nhetber it befound m Cornish mine, or llartz Mountain, or Slam moth Cave, or tinkling among the pendants of the chandeliers of a palace. The crystal is the star of the mountain, it is the queen of the cave; It is the car-drop of tho hill-; it finds its heaven in tne diamond. Among all the pages or natural history there is no page more inter esting to me than the page crjstallographic. ilut I want to show you that Job was right then, taking religion in one band and the crys tal in the other, he declared that the former is of far more value and beauty than the latter, recommending it to all the people and to all the ages, declaring- "The crystal cannot equal if Exactness in Religion. In the first place I reman: that religion is su perior to tho crys'al in exactness. That shape less mass of crystal against which you accident ally dashed your foot is laid out with more ex actness than any earthly city. There are six Etyles of crystallization, and all of them divinely ordained. Even crystal has mathematical precision. God's geometry reaches through it, and it is a square or it Is a rectangle or it is a rhomboid or in some way it bath a mathematical 3 cure. ovr religion beats that in the simple fact that spiritual accuracy i more beautiful than material accuracy. God's attributes are exact God's Uw exact God's decrees exact God's management of the world exact Never counting wrong, though He counts the grass blades and the stars and the sands and the cy cles. His providences never dealing with us per pendicu arh when those providences ought to he oBlique, nor lateral when thev ought to be vertical. Everything in pur life arranged with out an) possibility ol mistake. Each life a six Elded prism. Born at the right time; dying at the right time. There are no "happen-so's" in our theology. If I thought this was a slipshod iinirerseluouldgocrazi. God is not an An archist. Law, order, symmetry, precision, a perfect square, a perfect rectangle, a perfect rhomboid, a perfect circle. The edce of God's robe of government never frays out. There are no loose screws in the world's machinery. It d'd not just happen that Napoleon was at tacked with indigestion at Borodino so that ho became incompetent for the dav. It did not just happen that John Thomas, the missionary, tin a heathen island waiting for an outfit and orders lor another missionary tour, received that outfit and tboe orders in a box that floated ashore, while the ship and the crew that carmd the Lox were never heard of. A Transparent Religion. Again I remark that religion is superior to the crystal in tranparenc). We know not i lienor bywbnmglas was first discovered. Heads of it bave been found in the tomb of Aaxander Set ems. Vases of it are brought tip from the rums of llercnlaneum. There were female adornments made out of it 3,000 j ears ago those adornments found now at tached to the mummies of Egypt A great many commentators believe that mj text means class. What would we do without the crystal? The crystal in the window to keep out the florin ami let in the day tne crvstal over the watch defendiug its delicate machinery, yet al lowing us to -ee the hour the crystal of the telescope bv which the astronomer brings dis tant worlds so near he can inspect them. Oh. the triunipcsof the cnstals in tne celebrated windows of Rouen and Silisburt! Uuttbeie is nothing so transparent in a crys tal as id our Loly religion. It is a transparent religion. You put it toyour eyeand ousee man his sin, his soul, his destiny. Yon look at God and you see something of the grandeur of his character. It is a transparent religion. Infidels tell us it is opaque? Do you know win the tell us it is opaque? It is because they are blind. The natural man recelveth not the things of God because they are spiritually dis cerned. Tbere is no trouble witb the cry-tal; the trouble is with the eyes which try to look through it. We pray for Ti-ion, Lord, tbat our eyes might be opened. When the eyt fcalve cures our blindness then we find that religion Is transparent Surpasses Crystal In Beauty. The providence that seemed dark before be comes pellucid. Now you find God is not try ing to put you down. Now you understand why j ou lost that child and why you lost yonr property; it was to prepare you lor eternal treasures. And why sickness came; it being the precursor or immortal juenescence. And now ynu understand why they lied about you and tried to drlte you hither and thither. It was to put t ou in tbe.glorious company of such men aB Ignatius, who when he went out to be destroyed by the lions. aid: I am the wheat, ard the teeth of the wild beasts must first crlnd me before I can become pure bread for Jesus Christ;" or the company of such men as Poly carp, who when standing in tbomidnof the amnhitheater waiting for tne lions to come ont of their cave and destroy him. and the people in the galleries jeering and shouting. "The lions for Poh carp." replied: "Let them come on," and then stooping down toward the care where the wild beads were roaring to get out -Lei them come on." Ah, yes, it is persecution to put you m glorious company; and while tbere are many things that sou will have to postpone to the future world for explanation, I tell vou that it is the whole tendency of your religion to unravel and explain and interpret and illumine and irradiate. Jen was right It a glorious transparency. "The crystal can not equal it." 1 remark again that religion surpasses the crystal in its beauty The lump of crystal is put under the magnifying class of the crystal Jographerand he sees in it indescribable beauty snowdrift and splinters of hoar-frost and morals and wreaths and stars and crowns and constellations of conspicuous beauty. The fact is that crystal is so beautiful that I can think if but one thing in all tho universe that is so bnautlf ul, and tbat is tho religion of the Bible. No wonder this Bible represents Chat religion ..s the d break, as the apple blossoms, as the flitter of r king's banquet. It is the joy of the whole earth. Tho Cross and tho CroTtn. Peoplo talk too much about their cross and not cnucgh about their crown. Do vou know the Bible mentions a cross but 27 times while it mentions a crown 60 times? Ask that old man what he thinks of religion. He has been a close observer. He has been culturing an aesthetic taste. He has seen the sunnses of a half cen tnrj. He has been an early riser. He has been an admirer of cameos and corals and all kinds of beautiful tilings. Ask bim what be thinks of religion and he will tell yod, "It is the most beautifnl thing 1 ever saw." The crystal cannot equal it" Beautitnl in its symmetry. When it presents God's character it does not present Him as hav ing love like a great protuberance on one side of bis nature, but makes that lovo in harmony witb his Justice a love that will accept all those who come to him, and a justice that will by no meaus clear the guilty. Beautiful re ligion in the sentiment it Implants! Beautiful religion in the hope it kindlesl Beautiful re ligion in the fact that it proposes to garland and enthrone and eurparadise an immortal spirit Solomon says it is a lily. Paul savs it is a crown The Apocalypse saysiti-aountain kissed of the sun. Ezekiel saj s it is a f oliaged cedar. Christ says it is a bridegroom come to letch home a bride. While Job in the text takes np a whole vase of precious stones the topaz and the sapphire and the chrysoprase and he takes ont of this beautifnl vase just one crystal and holds It up until it gleams In the warm lizht of the East ern sky, and be exclaims, "The crystal cannot equal it" Ob, It Is not a stale religion, it is not a stupid religion. It is not a toothless bag as eomoseem to bave represented it; it is not a Aleg Merrilles with shriveled arm come to scare the world. It is the fairest daigbtct of God. helre-s of all lilt wealth. Her cheek the n orn In tkj : her voice the music of the south wind; her etep the dance of the sea. Come and woo her. The Spirit and the Bride say come, and whosrever will, let him come. Superior in Its Transformations. Again, religion is superior to the crystal in its transformations. The diamond is only a crys tallization of ooaL Carbonate of lime rises till it becomes calclte or aragonlte. Red oxide of copper crystallizes into cubes and octahe drons. Those crystals which adorn our persons and our homes, and our museums have only beeu resurrected from forms that were far from lustrous. Scientists for ages have been examining these wonderful transformations. But I tell yon in the Gospel of the Hon of God there is more wonderful transformation. Over souls by reason of sin black as coal and hard as Iron, God by bis comforting grace stoops and says: "They shall be mine in the day when I make up my jewels." Now, I have no liking for those people who are always enlarging in Christian meetings about their early dissipation. Do not go into the particulars, my brothers. Simply say you were sick, but makfe no display of your ulcers. The chief stock in trade of some ministers and Christian workers seems to be their early crimes and dissipations. The number of pock ets you picked and the number of chickens you stole make very poor prayer meeting rhetoric Besides that, it discourages otber Christian people who never got drunk or stole anything. Bat it is pleasant to knoV that those who were farthest down bave been brought highest up. Out of infernal serfdom into eternal liberty. Out of darkness into light From coal to the solitaire. "The crystal cannot equal It" But, my friends, the chief transforming power of the gospel will not be seen in this world and not until heaven breaks upon the souk When that light falls upon the soul then you will see the crystals. Oh, what a magnifi cent setting for these jewels of eternity 1 I sometimes hear people representing heaven in a way that is far from attractive to me. It seems almost a vulgar heaven as they repre sent it with irreat blotches of color and bands of music making a deafening racket Not the Doctrine Ton "Want. 'Oh," says someone, "it is just the doctrine I want; God is to do everything and I am to do nothing." My brother, it Is not tho doctrine you want The coal makes no resistance. It bears the resurrection voice in the mountain and it comes to crystallization, but your heart resists. The trouble with you, my brother, is the coal wants to stay coal. I do not ask you to throw open the door and let Christ in. I only ask tbat you stop bolting it and barring it Oh, mv friends, we will have tocetridof our sins. I will have to get rid of my sins and you will have to get rid of your sins. What will we do with our 6ins among tho three crys tals? The crystal atmosphere would display our pollution. The crystal river would be be fouled witb our touch. The crystal sea would whelm us with its glistening surge. Trans formation now or no transformation at all. Give tin full chance in your heart and the transformation will be downward instead of upward. Instead of a crystal It will be a cinder. In the dajs of Carthage a Christian girl was con demned to die for her faith, and a boat was bedaubed witb tar and pitch and filled with combustibles and set on fire and the Christian girl was placed ip the boat and the wind was offshore and the boat floated away with Its precious treasure. No one can donbt that boat landed at the shore ot heaven. Sin wants to put you in a fiery boat audsnovoyou off in an opposite direction off from peace, off from God, off from heaven, everlastinzly off; and the port toward which you would sail would be a port of darkness, and the guns that would greet you would be the guns of despair, and the flags that would wave at your arrival would be the black flags of death. 0, my brother, j ou must either kill sin or sin will kill you. It is no wild exaggeration when I say that aay man or woman that wants to be saved maybe saved. Tremendous choice! A thousand people are choosing this moment between salvation and destruction, between light and darkness, between heaven and hell, Detween charred ruin and glorious crystallization. SKINNED BY SHARPERS. A Dnped Toung Han Ashamed to Go Home and Face Ills Family. Ixdiakapolis, Ind, April 19. Several days ago E. V. JTarrington, Probate Judge at Preston, Minn., wrote to Superintendent Colbert for information concerning his son, Sabin. He said the young man had left borne with $1,200 to attend a horse sale at Cambridge City, and with the exception of a postal card mailed at Indianapolis nothing had been heard of him. The letter and dispatch were turned over to Chief Splanu, and to-day young Mr. Partington was brought to poliee heada darters. At the superintendent's suggestion lie wrote a letter to his father explaining that lie is well and in time will return home. The police authorities say that the young man will not go borne because he had lost the 51,200 at the hands of a lot of sharpers, and He is ashamed to face his family. SAVED BY EPUH YABH. The Thrilling Battle With the Waves of an English. Ship's Crew. Galveston, Tex, April 19. The En glish steamship Manin arrived this morning from Vera Cruz, having on board seven sailors from the crew of the English bark Entine. During a heavy gale on the 14th ot March outside of Tonala, Mexico, the bark Entine, lying at anchor, parted her cables and went ashore. She was loaded with mahogany. The sailors threw a life preserver over board with spun yarn fastened to it The life preserver was washed ashore and picked up by people on the beach. The spun yarn wnsfasteneiltoa slightly heavier line, which was hauled ashore. By this means the en tire crew was saved. Their experience was very thrilling. The captain remained at Vera Cruz, whither the crew went after safely landing. Five of the crew will be sent to England by the English Consul here. M0EFHIHE FOE QUIfflHE. The Carelessness of a Druggist Causes the Death of a Louisiana Sheriff. Baton Eouge, La,, April 19. Informa tion was received here to-day that Sheriff J. Kemp, of Grant Parish, who died at Boyce, La., last Tuesday evening, was supposed to have met his death through the carelessness of a Baton Rouge drnggist in preparing morphine instead of quinine capsules. Through investigation it was found that Sheriff Kemp had not visited this city, though he left Colfax with over $2,000 for the purpose of making his quarterly settle ment with the State Auditor. He failed to visit the Auditor's office, and the hotel reg isters here do not contain his name. When found, in an unconscious condition, at Boyce, he did not have the money on his person. It is supposed here that he was either drugged aud robbed or committed suicide. The case is certainly one for fine detective work. AHOTHEB VICTIM OF A DRUGGIST. A Northwestern Man Given alorphine as Medicine for tho Grip. Seattle, "Wash., April 19. "Wallace I. Kerr, bookkeeper and cashier for a lead ing Seattle law firm, died this evening from opium poisoning.

IN THE 0IL FIELDS. Drillers at Fairview Agreeably Sur prise at an Old Well. IT WAS ABANDONED AS A DRY HOLE Bad Roads and the Low Market Knock Oat Wildwood Business. BUTLER COONTI FIELD IS TEEI DULL F FECI At TEZ.EORAK TO TBS DISrATCH.1 Fairview, April 19. The Fairview field has again loomed into prominence by the striking of another good well, and the erratic and unaccountable conduct of an old producer and an abandoned dry hole. The South Penn Oil Company are in the sand with No. 1 Sutton, which is showing for a good prodncer. llcLeod t Davis' No. 1 Burns is in, and has the ear marks of a first-class well. The Morgan well, drilled some time ago by Mo Leod t Davis aud prononnctd dry, is now the wonder of the field. The.casing was pnlled.the rig taken down and all hope of it ever becominga producer abandoned. Last nightabout 10 o'clock some workmen discovered a stream of oil flow ing down the ravine, and quickly hunted up the ganger and told him that the pipe line bad bursted. An investigation was at once insti tuted, and not until this morning was it found that the oil was coming from the supposed dry hole. The well, of Its on n volition, had broken loose and commenced flowing. It is now turned into a COO-barrel tank. The action of this venture is a great sur prise to many, and makes some terri tory that was condemned now look good. Tne eccentricity of this duster is no less strange than the South Penn Oil Company's well No. 1, on the James Yost farm. For some time this well has been declining until its production had got down to 270 barrels a day. But-durlng the past week, without anything being done to tbewell.it commenced gaming In production, and is now making 400 barrels a day the figure at which it started off when first struck. It is reported to-night that the South Penn Oil Com pany have struck a well seven miles in advance of the Mt, Morris field, doing 20 barrels an hour, but the DISPATCH was unauio to con firm the report. No Change at Wildwood. " "VVildwood The situation at Wildwood practically lemains unchanged from Satur day's rdport The advance wells on the south west line, which are now attracting much at tention, have not yet found the pay, although drilling in the sand. The Heidleberg well Sat urday afternoon was from 8 to 10 feet in the sand, with a little show of black oil. The Kohl bar well Is about 10 feet In the sand,whlch i inferior and no show of nil. Peepbles No. 2 is drilling near the bottom of the sand and making about eight barrels an hour. No. 3 Peepbles and Marks No. 2 expect to hit the sand this week. The bits which were lost in Herr No. 5 and Whitesell No. 8, have been removed and drilling bas again been re sumed at both wells. Drilling has been com menced in Rlnghelsen No. 8. while the drill has reached a depth of 700 feet in the Linton ven ture. The Alston is making six ioches an hour. Dibert A Co., on the two-acre lot about 200 feet south ol No. 1 Kretser, Roth OU Company, which came in a gasser, are drilling in the bot tom ot the sand, witb a very small showof oil. West of Wildwood, Rolsehonse fc Co. are down 2,000 feet with their wildcat well. Tbey found a little gas In the third sand. The well will be drilled to a depth of 3,000 feet. Griffith & Co.'s Cole farm well is drilling at 1.200 feet, ind John M. Patterson's well, on the Espy farm, west of the plank road, is through the 30-foot, Tho Butler County Field. Iho Butler district is simply lifeless. The impassable roads and a low market are 'in part responsible for the. situation, but, however, tne want of the "stuff" to operato on is making itself more apporeut each day. The boom given to Butler county by tho advent of the 100-foot producing rock basspentitself. Thenumerous attempts to discover oil lu this rock in other portions ol tne county nave mtuorio proven disastrous, and from the present outlook tbat strip of country from Mars on the southwest to Little Creek on the northeast will stand nut in the oleaginous history sui generis as prodncing oil in sufficient qnantlties to make it profitable. Muddy Ceekk McFarland & Co. No. 1, on Klmgler farm, rig up and will commence drill ing shortly? This field is in an embryotio shape as yet. The drjll will thoroughly explore its rocks daring the coming summer, with what result remains to be seen. Tbere has been very little gilt about it so far. At Olade Run A. K. Klmgensmith Is drilling his well on the Ash farm to the third sand. It produced awhile from the 100-foot, bnt soon ex hausted itself. HakxonY Lockwood fc Co. well, Bhrum farm, is showing from 25 to 30 barrels per day, indicated by the quality of the sand. Not tubed yet. McBride A Kennedy have started drilling an experimental well on the Qraham farm, six miles soutbwest of Callery, in Cranberry town ship, and W. E. Griffith will start spudding in a wildcat well at Bays Mills, Middlesex town ship, Monday or Tuesday, on the Ham Hays farm. Callery This point shows the most new work, though nothing like its previous activ ity is observable. Collins & Hearly No. 1, on Sarah Kanffman farm, are through sand and it was sbot to-day. The indications are not promising, but may show better after the hole is cleaned out. Their No. 2, same farm, through sand witb prospects for a fair pumper. Wan), Bishop & Co. began drilling their No. 2 on Cashdollar farm tbis morning. jErrKRSON Center J. W. Phillips com pleted a good well ou the Swaney farm Friday which made 250 barrels the first 24 hours. It lias declined nearly one-bait from these fig ures. .Jefferson Oil Co.'s No. i, Karnmmpf farm, started off after being sbot at 50 barrels per hou. but bas settled down to 160 barrels per day. This territory is of the hzz bang order, but soon decline to ordinary pumpers. A Report From Forest County. Henrys Mills A report gained some cir culation last night tbat a big well had been struck in Forest county, south of Henrys Mills, on the Fox estate, which was doing 50 barrels au hour. The most diligent inquiry failed to confirm the rumor, aud the chances are that it is a fake. McCURDY The McCnrdy field has again been livened by Vandergrlfth & Co. finding a good well on the Adams farm. The sand was tapped Saturday forenoon and started off at the rate of 600 barrels a day, McDonald The Royal Sas Co. shot their No. 1 Ruuli Friday evening. The well made one nice flow and immediately bridged over. H. McC. Saturday's Oil Market. The market Saturday was firm at the open ing. There were sales of 3,000 barrels ot May oil at 70c On a little .buying pressure in the East, the market advanced to 70JJ c, but on. it removal tbere was a slump to 6Vc. which was too asking price at tne nmso. casn on was offered at bic, without acceptance.

This Mysterious nnd Terrible Disease Care fully Analyzed and Described What to Do When It Comes. , Nearly every physician, every scientist and every sufferer has been asking tbis great question: What is the grip? Some have as serted tbat it is a dangerous microbe which comes into the system, breeds several millions every second, and soon overruns the body with disease. Others bave said that we aro.passlng through a region of star-dust, and tbat the minute particles are drawn into the body with every breath. Whatever it may be. it Is certain tbat It is something within the body which is fighting with the body to undermine the life. What .would common sense dictate in such an emergency? Counteract the enemy. Drive it from tho system. Do not trifle with it-c Act promptly and wisely at the first approach which yon can readily detect. Take something which can counteract their deadly influence. Spirits ot some kind are the best thing to take, and whiskey is preferable to any other kind of spirit; but it should be borne very carefully in mind that only pure whiskey will have the effoct, and It should also be remembered that Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey stands at the head of all preparations and is the only medicinal whiskey upon the market. Scientists have as serted this, the doctors bave verified it, and millions ot people bave proven it beyond a donbt. There are many unscrupulons dealers who will assure you that any whiskey will answer the purpose, but they are wrong and are trying to deceive you. In case of Grip you cannot afford to take any chances, therefore take that which is, beyond question pure, medicinal and the only valuable whiskey upon the market. M We make more porous plasters than all other makers In this country combined, because the pnblio appreciate the mer it that exists in our roods. BENSON'S Is the only me dicinal plaster for house hold use, ail others being 4 weak imitations. Get the Genuine. fe2-M-89 NEW PUBLICATIONS. THE POPULAR SCIENCE, MONTHLY ar o k in a. y. DR. ANDREW D. WHITE opens the nnmberwith a paper on "Miraclti and Medicine," showing how tales of miracu lous cures 'grew and multiplied in the Mid dle'Ages, and how the art of medicine was kept down by ecclesiastical jealousy and greed.

There is an illus trated article entitled "Ice-making and Ma chine Refrigeration," by Fbederik A. Fernald.
