Brooklyn- April 2G. Her. T. De "Witt
Talmage preached in the new Brooklyn
Tabernacle on Clinton avenue this evecimr,
the building having been dedicated in the
morning at 10:30. A great union meeting,
in which clergymen of al! denominations of
Christian: participated, was held in the
ftfternoon. Six thousand persons were pres
ent at each of the cervices, and many thou
lands were turned away. Text: "What
mean ye by these stones?" Jokhua iv., 6.
The Jordan, like the Mississippi, his bluffs
on the one side and flats on the other. Here
and there a sjcamore shadows It. Hero and
there a willow dips into it. It was onlya little
over waist-deep in December as I waded
through it, bat in the months of April and liar
the&nows on Mount Lebsno thaw and now
down into the vallej.and then the Jordan ovir
rlows its banks. Then it is wide, deep, raging
and impetuous. At tins season of tliajear I
near the tramp of 40,000 armed men coming
down to cross the river. You say, why do they
not go up nearer the rise of the river at the old
camel funi? Aht my friends, it is because it is
not safe to go around when the Lord tells us to
go ahead. The Israelites bad been going
around 40 years, and they had enough of it. I
do not know hun it Is with on. mv brethren.
but I have alwas got into trouble when I went
around, tint alw'ajs got into safety when I went
ahead.
There snreads out the Jordan, a raging tor,
rent, much of it snow water, just come down
from the mountain top, and I see some of the
Israelites shiverinc at the idea of plunging in
aind one soldier says to his comrade, ''Joseph,
can you aminT" And another says: "If we
get across this stream we will get therewith
wet clothes and with damaged armor, and the
Canaanites will slash us to pieces with their
rwords before wo cet ud the other bank." But
It is no time to halt. The great host marches
on. The priests carrying the ark go ahead, the
people follow. I hear the tramp of the great
multitude. The priests have now come within
a stone's throw of the water. Yet still tbere is
no abatement of the flood Now they Lae
came within four or five feer of the stream;
but there is no abatement of the flood. Bad
prospect! It seems as if these Israelites that
crossed the desert are now going to be drowned
in sight of Canaan. But "Forward!" is tho crv.
The command lings all along the line of the
host "Forward!" Now the priests have come
within one step of the river This time tbey
lift their feet from the solid ground, and put
them down into the raginc stream. No sooner
are their feet there than Jordan Hie-. On the
right hand Uod piles up a great mountain of
floods; on the lelt the water flows ofT toward
the sea.
Their tVanderlngc Have Ceased.
Haw are they to celebrate this passage? Shall
It be with music? 1 suppose the trumpet and
cjmbals were all worn out beforo this. Shall
it be with banners waving? Oh no: they are
all faded and torn. Joshua cries out: "I will
tell you how lo celebrate this: ISuild a monu
ment here to commemorate the event;" and
eveiv unest nuts a heavy stone on hi shoulder
and marches cut and arnps that toue in the
divinely-appointed place. I see the pile grow
ing in height, m breadth, in significance; and.
matter jeais. men went by that spot and saw
this luounment, mr cried out one to another,
in fulfilment of the prophecr of the text:
'Yha mean ve by these stonesT"
Blessed be God, he did not leave our church
in the wilderness! AVe "have been wandoring
about for a ear and ahalf worshiping in the
AcaaemrO' Music. Erookljn. and Academy of

lud cleared away from the sky after our Taber
liacl had been consumed, people stood ou the
Tery site of the place and said: "This chrrch
vitlneter again be built." We came down to
the bank ot Joidsu; we looked on upon the
watero. Some of the smpatby that was ex
pressed turned out to be suow-water melted
liom the top of Lebanon. Some said: "iou

I go all around about tins grea: house, erected
by your prayers ana sympathies and sacrifices,
ami cry out in : lie words or my test "What
mean je b these sto ies?' It is an outrage to
build a house like this, so vast and so magnifi
cent, unless there be some trementlon. reasons
for doing it; aud so. luy friends, I pursue you
to-night with the question of my text, aud 1 de
mand of these tru-tees and of these elders, and
of alt who have contributed in the building of
this structure, ""What mean ye by these
stones?"
Meaning; of the Memorial Wall.
But before I get your answer to my question
you point to the memorin wall at the side of
this pulpit, and say to me. "Explain that uu.
usual zioup of memorials hai mean you by
those stones?"' By pernmsmn of the people of
ny beloved charg,i 1 recently visited the Holy
Lands, and limine m mind by da) and night
uunng my absence this rising house of prayer,
1 bethought myself, "What can I do to make
that place sici-incant and glorious " On the
morning of Decembers we were at the foot of
the root sacred mountain of all the earth,
Muunt Calvary. There is no more doubt of tho
locality than of Mount Washington or Mont
.Bianc. un ine Uluu ol tins mountain, which is
the exact shape of the human skull,
and so called in the Bible "tho place
of a skull." there is room for three
crosses. Theie I saw a stone so sujrgestive I
rolled it down the hill, and transported it. It
Is at the top of this wall, a white stone, with
crimson eins running thiough it, the white,
typical of ponty. the crimson suggestive oT the
blood that paid the price of our redemption.
We place it at the top of the memorial wall,
fur above all in this churcn for all tune. In ser
mon, and song aud praier shall be the Sacrifice
of .Mount Calvary. Look at it. That stone
Was one ol the rocks rent at the Crucifixion.
That heard the cry, -It is finished." Was an v
church on eart'i honored with such a memorial?
Beneath it are two tables of stone which I
had brought from Muunt Sinai, where the law
was chen. Three camels were three weeks
crosslfsthe desert lo fetch them. When at
Cairo. Egpt, I proposed to the Chntian Arab
that he bring on stone from Mount Sinn. Ho
said: "We can easier bring two stones than
one. for we must balance them on the back of
the camel;" ami I did not think until the day of
iiicirzmiiuijon uiucn more suggestive would
be tho two, becaus- tho law was written on
two tables of stone. Those stones marked
with the wolds "Mount hinai" felt the earth
quake that shook the mountains when the law
rasgien. Ihe lower stone or the wall is from
Mars 11 il, the place where Paul stood when he
pieached that l.imous sermon on the brother
hood of liio human race, declaring, "Gd
liatii made of one blood all nations."
Since Loid Elciu took tho famous
statuary from the Acropolis, the hill
adjoining Mars Hill, the Greek Government
makes it impossible to transport to other lands
any lgyptiau antiquities, and armed soldierv
guard not only the Acropolis but Mars HilL
That stone I obtained by special permission
Jrom the Queen of Greece, a most gracious and
brilliant womai , w ho received us as though we
had been out acquaintances, and through Mr.
Tncoupis. tl.c l'riino Minister of Greece, and
Jtr. Snow den, our American Minister Plenipo
tentiary, ami Dr. Manatt, our American Con
bul, that suggestive tablet was sawed fiom the
pnlpitof reckon which Paul preached. Now
jou understand why we have marked it "The
Gospel." Long after my lips shall utter in this
chmcb their la-a message, these lips of stone
will tell of the law, and the sacrince and the
gospel. This dav I present them to this church
and to all who shall gaze upon tbeni. Thus
3 ou have my answer to tne question, "What
mean jou by theso stones?"
Karthly Keslriouce for Christ,
But you must not divert me from the ques
tion of the text as 1 first put it. I have inter
preted these four memorials on my rieht hand,
but there are hundieds of stones in theso sur
rounding nans and underneath us in the
foundations, aud rising above us in the towers.
The quarries t this and transatlantic coun
tries at the call of crowbar aud chisel have
contributed toward this structure. 'What
mean j e by the;e stonesr"
You msan among other things that they shall
be an earthly residence for Christ. Christ did
not hare much of a home when He was here
Who and where is that cnild cryinir? It is Je
sus, born in an outhouse. Where is that bird
breathing? It is Jesus, aIeep on a rock. Who
Js that in tho back part of the fishing-smack,
withasailor's rough ovcrcott thrown over Him?
Itis Jesus, the worn-out Voyager. O Jesus! Is
It not time that Thou hadst a bouse? We give
Thee this. Thou didst srivo it to us flrst, but we
give it back to Taee. It is too good for us, but
cot half irood enough forThoe. Obi come in
and tasa the best Miat here. Walk np and
down all thso aIlo. Speak thiough these
organ pipes. Throw Thlno arm over us in these
arches. In the finning of these brackets. of
fire speak to us sajlng: "I am the light of the
warld." O King! mate this Thine audiencn
ciiaraber. Heio proclaim righteousness and
inako treaties. We clap oar hands, we un-
I ...... ..,
cover our ueaus, we hie our ensigns, we cry
with multitudinous acclamation until the placo
rings ana the heavens listen: "O King! live for
ever!" Do you know that thero is not a single de
nomination trf Christians in Brooklyn that has
not contributed something toward the building
of this house? And if ever, standing in this
place, there shall be a man who shall try bv
anything ho sajs, to stir up bitterness between
different denominations or Christians, may his
tonguo falter and his check blancb. and his
heart stopl My friendf, if there is any church
on earth where there is a mingling ot all de
nominations, it is our church. I just wish that
John Calvin and Arininius, if they were not too
busy, would come out on the battlements and
see us.
The Millennial Church.
I beard a BapUst minister once say that he
thought in the millennium it would be all one
great Baptist Church; and I heard a Methodist
minister cay that he thought in the great
millennial day it would be all one great Meth
odist Church; and I have known a Presbyterian
minister who thought that in the millennial
day it would be all one great Presbyterian
Church. Now.I think theyare all mistaken. I
thiuk the millennial church will be a composite
church; and just as you may take the best parts
of five or six tunes, and under the skillful
hands of a Handel, Mozart or Beethoven, en
twine them into one crand and overpowering
symphony, so, I suppose, in the latter days of
the world, God will take the best parts of all
denominations of Christians, and weave them
into one great ecclesiastical harmony, broad as
the earth, and high as the heavens, and that
will be the cburcn of the luture.
Still further you mean bv these stones the
salvation of the people. We did not build
this church for mere worldly reforms, or for an
educational institution, or as a platform on
which to read esays aud philosophical disqui
sitions; bnt a place for the tremendous work of
soul-saving. All churches are in two classes,
all communities in two classes, all the race in
two classes believers and unbelievers. To
augment the number of the one and subtract
from the number of the other, we built this
church; and toward that supreme and eternal
idea we dedicate all our sermons, all our songs,
all our prayers, all our Sabbath hand-shaklntrs.
We want to threw defection into the enemj'a
ranks. We want to make them surrender un
conditionally to Christ, or else fly in rout, scat
tering the way with canteens, blankets and
knapsacks. We want to popularize Christ.
We really believe in this place Christ will
enact the same scenes that were enacted by
mm when he landed in the Orient; and tnere
will be such an opening of blind eyes, and un
stopping of deaf ears, and casting out of un
clean spirits such silencing bestormed Gcnne
sarets as shall make this bonse memorable 500
yearn after vou and I are dead and f orcotten.
Oh, my friends, we want but one revival in this
church, that beginning now and running on to
the day when the chisel of time, that brings
down even St. Paul's and the Pyramids, shall
brief this house into the dust.
His Concluding Words.
Well, the Brooklyn Tabernacle is erected
again. We came here to-night not to dedicate
it. That was done this morning. To-night we
dedicate ourselves. In the Episcopal and
Methodist Churches they have a railing around
the altar, and the people come and tneel down
at that railing and get the sacramental bless
ing. Well, my friends, it would take more than
anight to gather you in circles around this
altar. Then, just bow where you are for the
blessing. Aged men, this is the last church
that you will ever dedicate. May the God
who comforted Jacob the Patriarch, and
Paul the aged, mako this bouse to
you the gate of heaven; aud when, in
your old days, you put on your spectacles to
read the hj mu or the Scripture lesson, may you
get preparation for that land where you shall
no more see through a glass darkly. May the
warm sunshine of heaven tbaw the snow off
your foreheads! Men in mid-life, do you know
that this is the place where you are going to
get your fatigues rested, and your sorrows ap
peased, and your souls saved? Do you kuor
teat at this altar your sons and daughters will
take upon themselves the vows ot the Chris
tian, aud from this place you will carry out,
some of you, your precious dead? Between
this baptismal font aud this communion table.
you will have some of the tenderest of life's
experiences.
God bless you, old, and young, and middle
aged. The money you have given to t nls church
to-day will be, I hope, the best financial invest
ment you have ever made. Yonr worldly in
vestments may depend upon the whims of the
money market, or the honesty of business asso
ciates"; but the money you have given to the
house of the Lord shall yield vou large per
centage, and declare eternal dividends long
after the noon-day sun shall have gone out like
a spa k from a smitten anvil, and all the stars
are dead.
THE P. P. ASSOCIATION
HAV2 A BCHEME Off TOOT WHICH THEY
ABB KEEPING QUIET.
Several Theories as to What These Oil Men
Propose to Do Production In tho Mo
Curdy Field Is Declining; While There Is
Loss of Intel est at Falrview.
An officer of the P. P. A. passed through
the city Saturday morning and was inter
viewed for The DisPAicn. He said he
was averse to newspaper notoriety and ab
solutely refused to give the reporter any
pointers asto what the independents were
doing. However, he promised that in the
course of a week or so be would be in a posi
tion to give The Dispatch some important
news concerning the movements of the organi
zation. He also said they were constantly ad
ding new members to their ranks and that the
aggregate membership at present was between
2.500 and S.000.
There is but little question that the officers'
mission to the lower county wa in the interest
of the P. P. .A. It is susinised by some of the
knowing ones that it is the intention of the in
dependents to build local lines and small refin
eries, while others think they are making
preparations to utilize the Ohio rlverronte to
the seaboard. It is also said there is a paper
being circulated among the members of the
organization to raise funds to carry out their
scheme, hut with what success, of course, has
not been learnen. in this citv, on fourth ave
nue, in the third story of a brick block, the

Interest In the Falrview Field.
FAinviEW. W. Va. There is no abatement
of interest In the Fairview district. The out
look for a large volume of work this season is
unquestionably good. McLeod & Davis' well
on the Burns tarm has declined to 75 barrels a
day. The Fisher Oil Company have at last got
the cave shut off in theirNo. 1 Toothman farm
and with reasonable luck will get in the last
string of casing the latter part of this week.
On the Q.K. Amos farm the South Penn people
have their No. 1 shut down waiting ou a liner
for the cave. Their well on the O. J. Sutton
property has a production or U80 barrels a day

Down in Alabama.
LAWBEKCB COUNTY, ALA. A Special tO
The Dispatch from Lawrence county.North
ern Alabama, states in substance that the
Goyer Oil Company have completed their first'
well in the Northern Valley, and found a fair
yield of green oil at 1.059 feet in what is called
the Trenton limestone. This company are
now drilling their No. 2 well, while other com
panies are getting ready to drill several test
welK Another party who is going it on his
own hook has a well in this same locality down
over 400 feet.
Southwest Wildwood.
Wild-wood The southwest line of this
famous field seems to be nearing the end.
The Heldelberger well, located west of a 45
line coming in practically a duster, and the
Campbell venture, east of a 15 line is 15 feet
in the sand and showing light, does not make
things in that quarter look very rosy. The
Koblbar well is through the sand and is rated
at only 125 barrels a day.
Drilling at Mt. Morris.
Mt. Morris-A special to TnE Dispatch
from Mt. Morris last night says that the liner
has been placed in the Mellon well on Meracal
Run, above Blacksville, and that drilling has
been resumed. Should no further bad
luck occur the drill will find the interesting
spot the last of the present week.
Sale of Valuable Property.
Derrick City, Pa. Of a recent date ono
of the largest sales of oil property was con
summated here that has taken place in this
section of oildom for some time. Th'e Watson
Oil Company, H. H. and R. W. Argue sold
their producing interests to J. R. Kanip, of
Jamestown, N. Y. Consideration, 8150,000.
Seven-Barrel Well at I'etrolla.
Peteolia Snyder Wiles & Co., on the G. S.

Saturday. K. Workman has a rig up on the
David Sbakely farm.
A Payer at Thorn It an.
Thorn Ren The forest Oil company were
fortunate in finding another good well in the
Thorn Bun pool. Saturday afternoon they

Saturday's OH Indications.
Tnere were no transactions in oil Saturday.
The only market fo- May was GSo bid. Cash
was ignored. The market was unsatisfactory
all week. The crowd continue to hope for
improvement, but as to how or when no one
ventures a prediction.
The Inches: point touched during the week
was 70c, and the lowest 68c. The difference
between the opening on Monday and tho close
yesterday shows a loss of ltc This is not cal
culated to enthuse the producers or to in
crease their respect for the Standard.
Refmed'closed down a fraction at Antwerp,
but was steady at other points. There was a
considerable increase in average dally ruus,
shlpmeuts and charters.
New York, April 2i Petroleum was nee
lected, no transactions being recorded, and not
even a bid or offer being made for Lima or
Pennsylvania oil.

WHAT ISJHE GRIP?
This Mysterious and Terrible Disease Care
fully Analyzed and Described What to
Do When It Comes.
Nearly every physician, every scientist ana
every sufferer has boon asking this great
question: What .is the grip? Some have as
serted that it is a dangerous microbe which
comes into the system, breeds several millions
every second, and soon overruns the body with
disease. Others have said that we are passing
through a region of star-dust, and that the
minute particles are drawn into the body with
every breath. Whatever it may be, it is certain
that it is- something within the body which is
righting with the body to undermino the life.
What would common sense dictate in such
an emergency? Counteract the enemy. Drive
it from the system. Do not trifle with it. Act
promptly and wisely at the flrst approach
which you can readily detect. Take something
which can counteract their deadly influence.
Spirits ot some kina are the best thing to take,
and whiskey is preferable to any other kind of
smrit; but it should be borne very carefully in
mind that only pure whiskey will have the
effect, 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 have verified it, and
millions of people have proven it beyond a
doubt. There are many unscrupulous 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,
mediciual and the only valuable whiskey upon
tho market. k
The finest and most palatable Rye Whiskey
in the market at SI 25 per full quart; guaran
teed absolutely pure. Send for complete cata
logue and price list of all kinds of liquors to

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
Scintillations From the Tailor Shop.
The quotation that "The apparel oft pro
Claims the Iran" may be more or less hackneyed,
but notwithstanding its cbesnutty flavor its
like the old-time alphabet; must bo taught and
re-taught so that the rising generation may
know that dress plays as important and con
spicuous a part in their every day cares as the
intellectual side of tbelr make-up.
A quarter century of experience, the best
mechanical skill that capital can secure in con
junction with the largest and most complete
stock of Woolens has in a measure brought its
just renown, so that now the well-dressed men
in town are ontwardly the virtual products of
our craft and handiwork.

have, though they're right
up in quality and style to
other houses' finest, for
which from 4 50 to $5 is
asked. We've always tried
our best to show a grand
assortment of dress pants
at 3, but our present line
eclipses them all.

none of these! They're as good, as
fine, as desirable and as fashionable
Spring Hats as are sold in this city
every day for J?i 50, $1 75, $2,2 25
and $2 50. The reason why we

because they have been consigned
to us by a manufacturer who is
anxious to convert them into cash
