MXSTERY OF THE BEL.
Dr. Talmage Talks Learnedly Upon,
the Topics of the Weather.
IS THERE A FATHER FOR RAIN?
llinisters Forget That God Ordains Moist
ure, Also Salvation.
.A6TROX05IICAL VIEW OP THE SUBJECT
Brooklyn, X. T., July 5. Dr. Tal
Snage's sermon to-day ison a kind of Gos
pel in wjiich few people believe. The
weather is a common object of complaint
nnd fault-finding, but Dr. Talmage finds a
Gospel in it, which to-day he proclaims
from the text. "Hath the rain a father?"
Job xxxviii., 2fl:
This Book of Job has been the subject of
unbounded theological wrangle. Jleu have
made it the ring in which to display their
ecclesiastical pugilism. Some say that the
Book of Job is a true history; others, that
it is an allegory; others, that it is an epic
poem; others, that it is a drama. Some say
that Job lived eighteen hundred years be
fore Christ, others say that he never lived
at alL Some say- that the author of this
book was Job; others, David; others.
Solomon. The discussion has landed some
in blank in fidelity. Xow, I have no trouble
with the Book of Job or Kevelation the
two most mysterious books in the Bible
because of a rule I adopted pome years
ago. J. waae aown into a oenpture
passage as long as I can touch bot
tom, and when I cannot, then I
wade out. I used to wade in until it was
over my head, and then I got drowned. I
study a passage of scripture so long as it is
a comfort and help to my soul; but w hen it
becomes a perplexity and a spiritual up
turning, I quit. In other words, we ought
to wade in up to our heart, but never wade
in until it is over oujr head. Xo man should
ever expect to swim across this great ocean
of divine truth. I go down into that ocean
as I go down into the Atlantic Ocean at
East Hampton, L. L, just far enough to
bathe- then I come out". I never had anv
idea that with my weak hand and foot 1
could strike my way clear over to Liver
pool. I suppose you understand your family
genealogy. You know something about
your parents, your grandparents,your great
grandparents. Perhaps you know where
they were born, or where" they died. Have
you ever studied the parentage of the
thouer: "Hath the rain a father?" This
question is not asked by a poetaster or a
scientist, but by the head of the universe.
Conundrums Proposed to Job.
To humble and to save lob. God asks
liin 14 questions; about the world's archi
tecture, about the refraction of the sun's
ravs, about the tides, about the snow crys
tal, about the lightnings, and then he ar
raigns him w itlfthc interrogation of the
text: "Hath the rain a father?" With the
scientific wonders of the rain I have noth
ing to do. A minister gets through with
that kind of sermons within the first three
years, and if he has piety enough he gets
through with it in the first three months.
A sermon has come to me to mean one word
of four letters: "help!" You all know
that the rain is not an orphan. You "know
it is not cast out of the gates of heaven a
foundling. You would answer the question
of my text in the affirmative. Safelv housed
during the storm, you hear the rain
beating against the window pane,
and you find it searching all the
crevices of the window sill. It first comes
down in solitary drops, pattering the
dust, and then it deluges the fields and
angers the mountain torrents, and makes
the traveler implore shelter. You know
that the rain is not an accident of tlie
world's economy. Yon know it was born of
the cloud. You know it was rocked in the
cradle of the wind. You know it was sting
to sleep by the storm. You know it is the
flying evangel from heaven to earth. You
know it is the Gospel of the weather. You
know that God is its father.
If this be true, then how wicked is our
mourning after climatic changes. The first
11 Sabbaths after I entered the ministry it
Etormed. Thiough the week it was e'ear
weather, but on the Sabbath the old country
meeting house looked like Noah's ark be
fore it landed. A lew drenched people sat
before a drenched pastor; but most of the
fanners stayed at home and thanked God
that what was bad for the church was good
for the crops. I committed a good deal of
Bin in those days in denouncing the weather.
Ministers Fret About Stormy Sabbaths.
Ministers of the Gospel sometimes fret
about stormy Sabbaths, or hot Sabbaths, or
inclement Sabbaths. They forget the fact
that the same God who ordained the Sab
bath and sent forth His ministers to an
nounce salvation, also ordained the weather.
"Hath the rain a father?"
Merchants, also, with their stores filled
with new goods, and their clerks hanging
idly around the counters, commit the same
transgression. There have been seasons
when the whole spring and fall trade has
been ruined by protracted wet w eather. The
merchants then examined the "weather
probabilities" with more interest than they
read their Bibles. They watched for a patch
of blue sky. They went complaining to the
store, and came complaining home again. In
all that season of wet feet, and dripping
garment", and impassable streets, they
never once asked the question: 'Hath the
rain a father?"
So agriculturalists commit this sin. There
is nothing more annoying than to have
planted corn rot in the ground because of
too much moisture, or hay all ready for the
mow dashed of a shower, or wheat almost
ready for the sickle spoiled with the rust.
Howhard it is to bear the agricultural dis
appointments. God has infinite resources,
but I do not think he has capacity to make
. weather to please all the farmers. Some
times itis too hot, or is too cold; it is too
wet, or is too dry; it is too carlv, or it is too
late. They forget tliat the God who prom
ised seed time and harvest, summer and
winter, cold and heat, also ordained all the
climatic chances. There is one question
xiuii uuii io nc written on every Darn, on
every fence, on eery haystack, on every
farmhouse. "Hath the rim a father."
A Big Undertaking to Frovide Weather.
If we only knew what a vast enterprise
It is to provide appropriate weather for this
world, we would not be so critical of the
l,ord. Isaac Watts, at 10 years ot age, com
plained that he did not like the hvmns that
were Ming in the English Chapel. " "Well,"
said his father, "Isaac, instead of your coin
plaining about the hymns, go and make
hymns that are better."" And he did go
and make hymns that were better. Xow, I
say to you, if you do not like the weather
company, and have a. president, and a secre
tnn, and a treasurer, and a board of direct
or", ami 510,000,000 of stock, then pro
vide weather tnat will suit all of u
There is a man who has a weak head, and
he cannot stand the glare of the sun. You
incst have a cloud always hovering o er
him. I like the sunshine; 1 cannot live
without plenty of sunlight, so you must al
ways liave enough light for me. Two ships
uicci iu uim-Auanuc. ine one is going to
Southampton, and the other is coming to
2sew York. Provide weather that, while it
is abaft for one ship, it is not a head wind
for the other. There is a farm that is dried
up for the lack of rain, and here is a pleas
ure part) going out for a field excursion.
Provide weather that will suit the dry larni
and the pleasure excursion. No, "sirs, I
will not take Si of stock in your weather
company. There is only one "Being in the
universe who knows enough to provide the
right kind of weather for this world. "Hath
the rain a father""
My text also suggests God's minute sa
pervisaL You see the Divine Sonship in
every drop of rain. The jewels of the
shower are not flung away by a spendthrift
who knows not how many he throws or
where they fall. They are all shining
princes of heaven. They all have an eter
nal lineage. They arc all the children of a
king. "Hath the rain a father?" Well,
then, I say if God takes notice of every
minute raindrop, He will take notice of the
"most insignificant affair of my life.
The Astronomical View of the Thine.
It is the astronomical view of things that
"bothers me, We look up into the night
heavens, and we say: "Worlds! worlds!"
and how insignificant we feel! We stand
at the foot of Mount Washington or Mount
Blanc, and we feel that we are only insects,
and then we say to ourselves "Though
the world is so large, the sun is 1,400,000
timeslarger." "O!" we say. "it is no use,
if God wheels that great machinery through
immensity, he will not take the trouble to
look down at me." Infidel conclusion.
SatiJrn, Mercury and Jupiter are no more
rounded, and weighted, and swung by the
hand of God than are the globules ofa'lilac
bush the morning after a shower. God is
no more in magnitude than he is in min
utiae If he has scales to weigh the moun
tains, he has balances delicate enough to
weigh the infinitesimal. You can no more
see Him through the telescope that you can
see Him through the microscope; no more
n hen you look up than when you look
down.
Are not the hairs of your head all num
bered? and if Himalaya has a God, "hath
not the rain a father?" I take tins doctrine
of a particular Providence, and I thrust it
into the very midst of your cvery-day life.
If God fathers a raindrop, is there anything
so insignificant in your affairs that God will
not father that? When Druyse, the gun
smith, invented the needle-gun, which de
cided the battle of Sadowa, was it a mere
accident? When a farmer's boy showed
Blucher a short cut by which he could bring
his army up soon enough to decide Waterloo
for England, was it a mere accident? When
Lord Brron took a piece of money and
tossed it up to decide whether or not he
should be ofhanced to Miss Millbank, was it
a mere accident which side of the money
was up and which was down? When the
Christian army were besieged at Bcziers,
and a drunken drummer came in at mid
night and rang the alarm bell,not knowing
what he was doing, but waking up the host
in time to fight their enemies that moment
arriving, was it an accident? When, in one
of the Irish wars, a starving mother, flying
with her starving child, sank down and
fainted on the rocks in the night and her
hand fell on a warm bottle of milk, did that
just happen so?
God Is in the Affairs of 3Ien.
God is either in the affairs of men, or our
religion is worth nothing at all, and you
had better take it away from us, and "in
stead of this Bib, which teaches the doc
trine, give us a secular book, and let us, as
the famous Mr. Pox, the member of Parlia
ment, in his last hour, cry out: "Bead me
the eighth book of Virgil. O! my friends,
let us rouse up to an appreciation of the
fact that all the affairs of our life are under
a King's command, and under a- Father's
watch. Alexander's war horse, Bucepha
lus, would allow anybody to mount liim
when he was unharnessed; but as soon as
thev put on that war horse, Bucephalus, the
saddle, and the trappings of the conqueror,
Jie would allow no one but Alexander to
touch him. And if a soulless horse could
have so much pride in his owner, shall not
we immortals exult in the fact that w e are
owned by a King? "Hath the rain a
father?"
Again, my subject teaches me that God's
dealings with us are inexplicable. That was
the original force of my text The rain was
a great mystery to the ancients. Thry
could not understand how the water should
get into the cloud, and getting there, how it
should be suspended, or falling, why it
should come down in drops. Modern science
comes alone; and says there are two portions
of air of different temperature, and they are
charged with moisture, and the one portion
of air decreases in temperature so the water
may no longer be held in vapor, and it falls.
And they tell us that some of the clouds
that look to be only as large as a man's
hand, and to be almost quiet in the heavens,
are great mountains of mist 4,000 feet from
base to top, and that they rush miles a min
ute. But after all the brilliant experiments
of Dr. James Hutton, and Saussure, and
other scientists, there is an infinite mvsterv
about the rain.
Tlie Unfathomable in the Raindrop.
There is an ocean of the unfathomable in
every raindrop, and God says to-day as he
said in the time of Job: "If you cannot un
derstand one drop of rain, do not be sur
prised if my dealings with you are inexpli
cable." Why does that aged man, decrepit,
beggared, vicious, sick of the world, and
the world sick of him, live on, while here is
a man in mid-life, consecrated to God, hard
working, usclul in every respect, who dies?
Why does that old gossip, gadding along
the street about everybody's business but
her own, have such j;ood health, while the
Christian mother, with a flock of little
ones about her whom she is preparing for
usefulness and for heaven the mother who
you would think could not be spared an
hour from that household why does she lie
down and die with a cancer? W hy does that
man, selfish to the core, go on adding for
tune to fortuue, consuming everyt'iing on
himself, continue to prosper, while that
man, who has been giving 10 per cent of his
income to God and the church, goes into
bankruptcy? Before we make stark fools of
ourselves, let us stop pressing this everlast
ing "why." Let us worship where we can
not understand. Let a man take that one
question "Why?" and follow it far enough,
and push it, and he will land in wretched
edness and perdition. We want in our
theology fewer interrogation marks and
more exclamation points. Heaven is the
place for explanation. Earth is the place
lor trust If you cannot understand so
minute a thing as a raindrop, how can you
expect to understand God's dealings? "Hath
the rain a father?"
Tears Are or Divine Origin.
Again, my text makes me think that the
rain of tears is of divine origin. Great
clouds of trouble sometimes hover over us.
They are black, and they are gorged and
they are thunderous. They are more por
tentous than Salvator or Claude eer
painted clouds of poverty or persecution
or bereavement. They hover over us, and
they get darker and blacker, and after
awhile a tear starts, and we think by an ex
tra pressure of the eyelid to stop it Others
follow, andafter awhile there is a shower of
tearful emotion: Y'ea, there is a rain of
tears. "Hath that rain a father?"
"O," you say, "a tear is nothing but a
drop of limpid fluid secreted by the lach
rymal gland it is only a sign of weak
eyes." Great mistake. It is one of the
Lord s richest benedictions to the world.
"When that tear starts it thrills all heaven.
An angel cannot keep his eye off it, and the
Church of God assembles around, aud there
is a commingling of tears, and God is the
Father of that rain, the Lord, long suffer
ing, merciful and gracious. "Long live the
King!" My friends, you have driven the
Lord Jesus Christ, the King of the Church
away from your heart; you have been mall
treating Him all of these years; but He
comes back to-day. He stands in front of
the gates of your soul. If you will only
pray or His pardon, He will'meet you with
His gracious spirit and He will say: "Thy
sins and thine iniquities I will remember no
more. Open wide the gate; I will take the
throne. My peace I give unto you." And
then, all through this audience, from the
young and from the old, there will be a rain
of tears, and God will be the Father of that
rain!

Seems to Be What the New Treasury
Statement Aims At.

Unmixed With Good.

THE NEW FINANCIAL POLICY'S EFFECT
sfeciai. rttrWnAM to TUErisrATcn.
New York, July C Matthew Marshall
reviews the financial and speculative situa
tion for the Su of to-morrow asfollows:
The Secretary of the Treasury has con
tributed two important items to the finan
cial news of the week. He has changed the
form of the monthly Treasury statement so
as to make it show a large surplus instead of
the deficit which it otherwise might nave
presented, and, with the advice and consent of
his colleagues of the Cabinet and of the
President, he has decided not to pay off the
4 per cent Government bonds maturing
September 1, but to extend them at 2 per
cent pf the new form of Treasury state
ment I have to say only that the adoption
of it seems to me to be an unnecessary and
useless complication of public accounts.
The purpose of the statement is to enable
the public to judge of the Nation's relative
financial condition from month to month.
If the same form is followed every month
this judgment is easy, while so far as it de
parts from uniformity it confuses its
readers.
I know that for political purposes it is
necessary sometimes to conceal, if not to
distort, lacts, but obscuration is not con
cealment, and a result which can be reached
bv a little figuring is not thereby kept out
of sight. Perhaps from my bookkeeping
experience I am a little quicker than most
people in analyzing a balance sheet, and I
certainly shall" be surprised if anyone is
induced to believe that there is a dollar
more or a dollar less in the Treasury be
cause the V figures are arranged one way
rather than another.
Futility of a Phantom Surplus.
A phantom surplus will not pay real
debts. I am not one of those who think it
correet to say that the Treasury is
bankrupt because it has not cash"
enough in hand to pay at once all its
debts due on demand if payment of them
should be demanded. Were this so, then
there never was a time since the green
backs were first issued when the
Treasury was solvent. The 346,000,
000 of greenbacks now outstanding
are file remainder an amount once
much larger. Until 1879 no provision at
all existed for their redemption, and since
1879 there never has been more than 100,
000,000 in coin available for the purpose.
Yet the greenbacks by their terms, beine
payable on demand, are a demand debt, and
it is only because no holder of them wants
them paid that they are not presented for
payment
The same is true of many other elements
of the public debt They consist of claims
which nobody desires to enforce, and which
may, therefore, for practical purposes, be
treated as not enforceable. Such, for ex
ample, is the undertaking to redeem the
surrendered national bank circulation,
against which the Government has received
the necessary money from the banks, and
which, by statute, is no longer reckoned as
a liability.
The Amount Under Nominal Demand.
Of this surrendered currency there is 40,
000,000 outstanding, and on an average only
t-'jOOOjOOU ot it comes in eacn montn. xne
5 per cent redemption fund deposited by
the national banks for their live circulation
is a similar debt, only nominally due on de
mand. Except upon the rare occasions
when the mutilation or the defacement of
the notes require it, no call is made upon
this fund. Deposits in national banks, of
course, may, with propriety, be counted as
available cash. On all these points it is
mere finical criticism to find fault with the
Secretary's views.
A Washington dispatch, accompanying
the new statement, hints that hercatter the
Secretary will not regard outstanding checks
and drafts as demand liabilities. I hope
that this is not true. I remember very well
that when I first opened my private account
with the Bank of New York years ago Mr.
Cornelius Heyer, the President, said to me:
"Now, young man, I want to warn you that
I will not allow any overdrawing. When
you give out a check deduct it from your
deposits, and whenyou have drawn all the
checks that your deposits are good for, don't
draw any more. If you do and I find it
out you and I will quarrel."
Checks on Imaginary Balances.
I have never forgotten his injunction
from that time to this, and when I hear it
suggested that the Secretary of the United
States Treasury has the right to draw checks
against an imaginary balance I do not like
it When a man gives out a .check it seems
to me the money it calls for belongs to the
holder of the check and not to the drawer of
it, and I think that the United States Gov
ernment should take the same view of it.
One thing must be remembered: The sol
vency or insolvency of the nation is not to
be decided by the amount of cash it has in
its vaults. The poet Addison when re
proached with his taciturnity in society, an
swered," alluding to his readiness with his
Een: "I have not a sixpence in my pocket,
ut I can draw for 1,000." So, our Gov
ernment, even if it should be temporarily
in siraignis ior reauy money, couia always
raise what it needs by borrowing
or by taxation. Our misfortune is, that
owing to the want of control over Congress
by the Executive, an adjustment of national
receipts to national expenditures, such as
obtains in most European States, is not the
rule here. We take our financial precau
tions, as an Irishman would say, after they
are found to be necessary, instead of before
it, so that while we are taking them w e are
liable to get into trouble:
Tlie Gold Reserve In Danger.
Of the decision to offer the holders of the
maturing li per cent bonds the privilege
of extending them at 2 per cent, I think
there can be only an approving opinion.
As I showed four weeks ago, and as the
facts plainly demonstrate now, the Treasury
will be put to its trumps to meet the de
mands upon it during July and August,
without impairing its 100,000,000 gold re
serve, anu if, in addition, it undertook to
pay the whole of tlie ?51,000,000 of 4U per
ccntson September 1, it could not avoid the
Impairment
I have none of the superstitious rever
ence for this golden 5100,000,000 which
many have, but I do not see why a part of
it might not be used temporarily and then
replaced later on. But human nature and
its whims must be respected by the states
men. A cutting into the ?100,000,000 gold
fund would alarm so inauy people that if it
can be avoided by the simple expedient of
paying 2 per cent interest for a year or so
on"?31,000,000, it ought to be. It is a ques
tion in my mind whether the measure will
succeed, but as 60 days more will settle it, 1
will not discuss the pros and cons of it now.
Fignres Show Its Fallacy.
As to the idea that, by furnishing a basis
for additional bank circulation, it will con
siderably increase that circulation, a mere
inspection of the figures will show its'
fallacy. There is less than $23,000,000 of
thebonds available for the purpose alto
gether. To buy them the banks mustiay
par for them in cash, and when they de
posit them in the Treasury they will get
notes for only 90 per cent of their face
value, besides payine in another 5 per cent
to the redemption fund.
This will leave only 83 per cent of the in
vestment to be used for loans, upon which
the tax of 1 per cent per annum on circula
tion reduces the profit to less than 7 per
cent on the 15 per cent of capital locked up.
I doubt very much whether many banks
will be anxious to go into the operation,
and even if enough of them should do it to
utilize the whole ?25,000,000 of bonds, the
additional currencv furnished would
only 22,500,000..
The Extravagance of Congress.
People are very properly dissatisfied with
the extravagance of the last Concress, and
with the embarrassment into which it has
brought the Treasury, but the evil is not
entirely unmixed, as I remarked three years
ago of the piling up of the surplus, then
equally complained of. The. surplus, it is
true, was drawn from the circulation, and in
that respect was a disturbing element
Still its accumulation compelled economy
on the part of the people as taxpayers, and
much or it went to pay off and cancel the
national debt The rest of it has now been
returned to the public, and it has supplied
.most, if not all, of the gold which Europe
has taken from us during the last four
months, thereby relieving her without dis
tressing us.
Besides this, unless I am misinformed,
the West and Southwest has been so well
supplied with currency, as the result of the
recent liberal Treasury disbursements, that
the usual drain upon this center for money
to move the crops will not be so severe as it
otherwise would be. This resource, to be
sure, will not avail a second time. The
surplus is gone and it will be a long time
before we shall have another, but for the
present it has averted a great calamity.
Hoarded Gold Saved the Market
Had it not been for the hoarded gold
rwhich the Treasury opportunely poured out
our money marKet would nave to auuer jui
the benefit of that on the other side of the
.Atlantic. Now both are in a comfortable
condition.
As to the effect upon the stock market
and upon business generally of the Govern
ment's new financial measures, I know that
my readers would like to be informed, and
I would like to inform them if I could do it
with anything like absolute confidence in
the correctness of my judgement The near
est I can come to it is to repeat that the
probabilities are all in favor of higher
E rices and of greater activity. We have
ad eight months of inaction and expecta
tion, and it is not in human natufe to keep
quiet much longer. Let our crops only
meet the expectation entertained of them;
let the currency .question be settled one
way or another no matter which so long as
it is settled and the machine will begin to
move.
Whatever any kind of property or secur
ity is really worth at this moment, it will,
in my judgment, be worth more next
spring. Only be sure that it is really
worth what you are going to pay for it be
fore you buy it

Three Murderers Almost Leave Ohio's Pen
itentiary by John Morgan's Route.
CSFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE PISPATCH.
Columbus, July 5. Warden Dyer, of
the Ohio Penitentiary, made a timely dis
covery at an early hour this morning, which
prevented the escape of three condemned
men from the Annex, where they are to be
executed. Edward Blair, an escaped pris
oner, who murdered a railway agent in Put
nam, while out, did the work. AVhile the
other prisoners were being given exercise,
he would insist on being left in the Annex
for quiet rest, and in the absence of the
guard, reaching over a mouth's time, cut
thiough the stone floor of a vacant cell, a
hole 18 inches square, which led to an air
flue extending into the yard. A steel case
knife had been made into a saw for the
purpose.
The prisoners had arranged to go out last
night, but the guard suspected something
wrong and an investigation was
instituted. The stone sawed out
was two inches thick. The hole was
cut into the same air flue through
which John Morgan, the famous leader of
the Morgan raiders, escaped during the war.
The cell occupied by Blair is the one occu
pied by Morgan when in prison. Blair will
be executed August 21.
BATXWAY ABITHMETIC.
It Is Very Peculiar, According to the Kan.
sas Board of Railroad Assessors.
rSPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. .
Topeka, Kan., July 5. The popular
outcry all over the State against the State
Board of Bailroad Assessors for reducing
the assessments against the railroad com
panies 10,000,000 has resulted in the pub
lication of a detailed statement, giving the
reasons of the board for its action. Its
statement shows that the assessed valuation
of railroad property has increased yearly
for the past four years, while other assess
ments nave decreased until last year it
amounted to 17 per cent of the total assessed
valuation of State property.
The. board defends itself against the
charges of the people, but holds the rail
road companies responsible for it all, be
cause of "their peculiar railway arithme
tic." It complains because the companies
insist upon adding the yearly expenditures
in improvements to the original cost of the
road to make its total cost, and adds that
there would be as much sense in a farmer
including his mortgage bonds and the in
terest he had paid to show the total cost of
his ranch.

supper of the Lamb," on which he spoke
feelingly. The church is four miles from
the President's cottage, but its historical
importance caused him to visit it again,
Tie and Mrs. Harrison having visited it once
last summer.
The President's presence in the church
did not attract so much attention, because
he was not expected, and there were but
about 80 in the congregation. Mr. Wana
inaker attended services at Beadle Memorial
Chapel, Cape May Point, this morning.
HO PLACE IKE PnTSBTOG,
Where a Fourth of July Celebration Is riot
a Picnic for Crooks.
Chief Brown is highly pleased with the
work done by his officers at the Schenley
Park celebration. The Chief was not there
himself, but the fact that not a case of
pocket picking, not a fight, nor any other
disorder was reported from the grounds,
where such an immense .crowd of people
were assembled, satisfied him that the
officers w ere there and attended to their
business well.
Assistant Superintendent O'Mara and
Captain Dan Silvis both said yesterday that
there was not another city in the country
where such a crowd could be handled with
out pickpockets reaping a harvest. The
opportunity for that sort of work at various
points in the park would have been excel
lent were it not for the extra vigilance of
the police. .
The Shark Towed Them.
Panama Star and Herald.
The singular sight was witnessed in the
harbor yesterday morning of a man in a
small boat making a cruise with a shark for
motive power. Boat after boat went to his
assistance, until a string of seven, manned
by 12 hands, was in the procession, but the
shark's movements increased with the in
creased weight, and after leading bis cap
tors a merry dance for a long while he suc
ceeded in throwing out the harpoon and ef
fecting his escape.

ANOTHER GOOD WELL AT M'DONALD
A Big Lot of Wells to Get the Sand This
Week at Moon and JlcCnrdy.
THE OPERATIONS H BUTLER COUNTY
There are few more patriotic men than
those engaged-in the oil business. They are
all Americans and they love to celebrate in
the most potent sense of the word. Conse
quently there were few walking beams in
the Southwest district which were moving
Saturday and all of the drillers and tool
dressers who could possibly do so flocked to
Pittsburg, which has long been the Mecca
of the trade in general. 'They fdrgot for
the time being all about the temper screws,
bits, jars, stems, ropes, casing wrenches,
sands.salt water and oil and spent the day
in various moods and places. There were a
few wells which, owing to the limited time
allowed in the leases for their completfon,
were kept going.
Oil on the Fourth.
One of these was the well of Ireland &
Hughes, the oil well tool manufacturers, on
the Comer farm, at Wildwood. It reached
the sand Satuiday, and after drilling sev
eral bits in the sand a fair pressure of gas
and a good showing of oil were struck. It
was then shut down, but not before several
good flows placed it among the 100-barrel
class at least. The well is located about
half a mile west of the 45 line that runs
through the Wildwood pool; is directly
north of the Kolbar farm, and joins the
Bunga farm on the northwest It will
probably open a distinct spur of
oil producing rock running north
west from the Bunga and Kretzer farm
pools, which has not before been suspected.
Joining the Comer on the west is the
Brecht, and west of that is the Anderson
property. One report from it late Satur
day gave it as doing 80 barrels an hour, but
this could not be confirmed.
On the County Line.
McDonald Mosier & Co.'s well on the
Valantour lot got the fifth sand Saturday
morning, and will make a good well. It is
about 400 feet east of the Boyal Gas Com
pany's No. 2, on the Ed McDonald farm.
The latter well will be small, probably from
30 to 40 barrels a day. The Wheeling Gas
Company got a good gas well Friday
at its wildcat, on the Rankin farm, three
and one-half miles southwest of McDonald
and on a line with the well beine drilled on
the McCarty farm, near Primrose, by Mel-
ion k w nson. xnese two wells test about
four miles of territory. The Bankin farm
well is west of the dry holes on the Bussell,
McBride and McCamant farms. The latter
is the nearest and is about half a mile cast.
Clark & Bannister's well on the Butler lot
was doing 40 barrels an hour Saturday.
William Kuan has made a location on the
DeBoy lot, and unknown parties have lo
cated on the Sloan lot Both of these are on
the south side of the railroad. An innova
tion in the field is the location of a rig on the
Smith lot bv the McKee Bros. It is in the
center of the residence portion of the town,
and is just opposite the home of Miss
Maggie McDonald, and near the parsonage
of the TJ. P. Church. There are half a dozen
wells due to get the fifth sand this week.
Among the first will be the Boyal Gas Com
pany's 2io. 3,Sauters and Ho. 3 Ed McDon
ald. More Weils Coming.
McCukdy Patterson & Jones' No. 7
well on the McCurdy farm is doing about 40
barrels an hour yet. W. L. Mellon's Jane
Kiddle No. 1 and his Scott No. 3 are both
due to get the pay this week. Huot &
Richards' No.-l on the Cowan farm is on
top of the sand, and K. G. Gillespie & Co. 'a.
Jane Kiddle No. (i is getting near the sand."
Black & Guflev, who have been fishing at
their well on the I. nk farm for a couple of
months, expect to be on top of the sand to
morrow. In the Moon District
Moon The Kanawha Oil Company's No.
4 on the Meeks farm was on top of the sand
Saturday night and will be drilled in to
day. W. L. Mellon's Nos. 4 and 5 on the
Meeks are due to get the sand early this
week.
Small Hundred Foot Weil.
Calleky The McCalmont Oil Com
pany's No. 1 on the Robert Walters farm
had penetrated the 100-foot sand to a depth
of 75 feet At 68 feet they got a second
Say streak that slightly improved the pro
uction, but a small well will be the hnal
result after the salt water has been ex
hausted. Some eight more locations have
been made in the same vicinity,, but all to
the northeast.
Collins & Heasley are 80 feet in the and
with their No'. 1 on the Charles Walters
farm. They developed a strong flow of gas
but found no oil. This well is located at
the mouth of Wolf Run and one-half
mile north of the Bodgers & Hoffman well
on the Staples farm. The same company's
No. 3 on the J. M. Miller farm is 85 leet in
the Hundred-foot and still drilling. They
have a fair show for an average Hundred
footer. Wahl & Bishop's No. 4 on the
George Harburger is holding up at 50 bar
rels a day. The well drilled by R. W. Mil
ler on the John Balfour farm something
more than a year ago, and when in
the sand stuck the tools, has
at last recovered them and the well will be
drilled in and shot. It will make a 25-bar-rel
well. Redd & Co. have started to pump
their well on the Hcspenhide farm, but as
yet it has produced nothing but salt water.
The Forest Oil Company is 40 feet in the
sand on the Barr farm, and it has a strong
gas pressure. The same company has tim
bers on the ground for No. 3 Wholbert
farm. This well is located 300 feet south
east of their Longhurst farm. Osborne
Bros. & Co.'s Cookson well is not making a
very good showing. They have a strong
flow pf salt water to overcome.
Price & Co.have completed No.2 rig on the
Douthett farm, 500 feet east of their No. 2.
B. Forst has completed No 4 rig on the
Anderson farm. Tne Ballard & Cumming
well, on the Kennedy, is making 50 barrels
a day.
Finished on the Fourth.
Lockwood Bowley & Co. have com
pleted No. 2 on the English heirs', and it
will make a 25-barrel pumper.
Alexander No. 2 on the Ripper farm, was
shot and is showing for a 25-barrel pro
ducer. Phillips Gets a Duster.
Great Belt T. W. Phillips has drilled
his No. 2 on theBennewitz through the sand
and got a duster. His No. 1 on the Kirby
is making 75 barrels a day.
Hunting An Extension.

ASLEEP FOE SIXTEEN TEABS.
Herman Harms, the Minnesota Sleeper, Has
at Last Awakened.
St. Paul, July 5. Herman Harms, the
Minnesota sleeper, i3 now awake. His
case is probably the most peculiar known to
the physicians, whose skill it has baffled for
the last dozen years. He had slept almost
incessantly for the past 16 years. A few
days ago he awoke, and has taken only an
ordinary amount of sleep since. His recov
ery, however, is doubtful. Mr. Harms is
now living on a farm, about midway between
St. Charles and Quincy, Minn.
Some 16 years ago he was attacked by a
severe fever and had intense pains shooting
tnrougn nis neaa. ne was men in Illinois.
His physician advised him to move to a
colder climate. He accordingly came to this
State. During his stay in Illinois he did
not sleep all of the time, but since he came
to this State he has never been awake, ex
cept for an interval of a year and a half,
since 1881 and two months of 1889 and 1890.
When he is sleeping he can only be awak
ened by his wife touching him on the head.
Calling has no effect on him. He takes no
nourishment at all to speak of, and then
only when aroused from his comatose condi
tion. Harms was born in Germany in 1838.
He was married to Miss Buzman in 1863.
His faithful wife has zealously guarded him
through all these vears.
FIVE INDIANS TO TWO CHINAMEN.
A Race War That Has Been Raging on the
Pacific Coast.
San Francisco, July 5. It has been
learned that the butchery of a Chinaman at
Bridgeport,after his acquittal on the charge I
ot muruermg an nuiau, was ine last inci
dent in a race feud between the Mongolians
and Indians which has been waxed in
Nevada for five years. The Indians of this
coast have always hated the Chinese and
this feeling has been returned with interest.
Five years ago a Chinese miner was shot
by an Indian in a quarrel. His country
men tried vainly to have the murderer pun
ished. Then they vowed vengeance. They
waited till the next Fourth of July, when
the Indians all came to Wadsworth to cele
brate. The Chinese decoyed four Piutes into a
laundry and filled them with gin. When
the Indians were helplessly drunk the
Chinese poured kerosene over their bodies
and over the floor of the shanty and set the
place on fire- Only one Indian escaped.
He told his story and again there was a
prosecfUon. The Chinese followed this up
by the torture and murder of a solitary In
diartat Candelaria. This last crime, fol
lowed by the murder of the Celestial at
Bridgeport, brought things to a crisis. The
Piutes have been holding pow-wows lately,
and it is thought they are planning to bal
ance the account by three more Chinese
victims. As it now 'stands there are five
dead Indians to two Chinamen.

All Farm and Garden Prodncfs Are
in Plentiful Snpply.
THE DRIFT TOWARD LOWER PRICES
Prospects of Aoundant Crops Adverse to
Bull Movements.
GREET HIDES AND CALFSKINS DULL
Office op Pittsbuho Dispatch, )
Satvudat, July 4.
Farm and garden products have been in
plentiful supply the past week, antPgeneral
tendency of prices has been toward a lower
level. The first home-grown potatoes of the
season aro to the front within a few days.
Tennessee potatoes are in aoundant snpply,
but are lacking in keeping qualities. Asa
result of inferior quality, prices are weak
and lou er. Two weeks ago Southern pota
toes were active at $5 C06 01 perbarr4.
Now they are slow at $3 00350 per barrel.
With the exception of choice creamery bnt
ter.everythlng In the line ofdairy products Is
as it has been for a week or two past, slow
and weak. Ohio cheese is in supply far
above demand, and Pittsburg markets nre
pronounced by representatives of the factor
ies, a number of whom were heie lately to
spy out the land, as relatively lower than
any other trade center of the land. New
York cheese is fairly steady. All the week
there has been a short supply of strictly
fresh eggs, and markets are fully 2c per
dozen higher than at tho beginning of tho
week. Dealers reported sales at 20c per
dozen a few days ago.
In fruit lines, we note the wane of straw
berries and heavy receipts of raspberries.
The yield of the latter is reported by gar
deners unusually large, and the week to
come our markets will no doubt be Hooded
with this fruit. Supply of bananas has been
light, and prices are advanced. With light
receipts came the heavy Fourth of July de
mand, so that for the first time this season
there were hardly enough bananas to go
round. Other tropical Iruits remain un
changed. Exceptionally cool weather for a
few days past has served to put a check to
the upward movement of lemons.
As to Cereals.
For a month or two past it has been a dole
ful time to bull operators in cereal lines.
After long waiting and very expensive ex
perience an upwnrd movement was
inaugurated a day or two before the nation's
great holiday, and an advance was main
tained above the lowest point of 5c per
bushel on wheat, as much on corn and 3c on
oats.
The upward movement was Inaugurated
on the eve of the adjournment of the Chicago
Grain Exchange for the Fourth of July.
There was no meeting of the exchange
on Friday or Saturday, so that it is
impossible to tell whether or not this up
ward move will continue. Against any per
manent upward movement in cereal lines
stands the bright prospect for largo incom
ing crops. Ot a certainty the outlook is
favorable forbears, especially as regards the
incoming wheat crop. In this section the
wheat crop is leported the largest for years.
Western Pennsylvania farmers have been
busy wheat harvesting tlie past few days,
and that the yield will be immense is an
assured fact.
Hides and Leather.
The situation as to tlje hide market is
practically the same as it was a week ago.
The depression then noted in this column
remains in full force. At Chicago, which is
the head center of the green hide trade, an
attempt was made by dealers to stiffen
prices, but the attempt proved abortive.
Tanners could not be brought to pay any nd
vanco, as dealers aio carrying large stock.
After a short' effort to advance prices, they
were forced to an unconditional surrender
and old, prices were established. Calf
skins are particularly slow in this market.
Tallow is dull and w enk, as it is hard to
handlo at this season of the year. The loss
in weight through leakage uniformly weak
