A Healthy Way of Looking at Matters Drhes Off Misanthropy. TALMAGFS SUNDAY MORNING SERMON , f FrrCI . TO.EGUAMS TO TH". DISPATCH.! Brooklyn, Sept. 12. Brooklyn Taber nacle to-dav contained many strangers on their Tray home from the watering places and foreign lands. Dr. Talmage's morning sermon was on "Kindness." from the text, Acis xxviii, 2: "The barbarous people showed us no little k'nduess." Here we are on the Island of Malta, an other name fo- "Ucllta This island, -which has always been an important commercial center, belonging at different times to Phoe nicia, to Greoc, to Home, to Arabia, to Pptln, to Fran-e, now belongs to England. The isl-ind is gloriously memorable because the Knights ol Malta Tor a long time ruled thei-c, but most famous because of the apos tolic r.hipn reck Cut the island which has co rough a coat is for the most p-irt a gar den Riche-t traits ana a profusion of honey characterized it in Paul's time as -well a now. The finest oranges, figs and ohres grow there. THE HOSPITABLE BARBARIANS. When Paul and his comrades cra-n lod up on the beach, saturated -with the salt water and hunsrrv from long abstinence from food and chilled to the bono, the islanders, though called barbarians because they could :ic.t ncak Greek, opened their doors to the shipwrecked unfortunate- Everything l'ad cone to the b tt-om of the deep, and the barefooted, bareheaded npotle and ships cr i ere in a condition to appreciate hos inraliti.

It -would take a reed as long as that which the Epocaljptic angel u-ed to measure heaven to tell the lencth, the breadth, the height of that munificent word BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF KINDNESS. It is a favorite Bible word, and it is early launched in the Book of Genesis, caught ut in the Hook of Joshua, embraced in the Book of Kuth, sw orn by in the Book of Samuel, ciowned in the Book of Psalms and en throned in many places in-theNew Testa ment Kindness! A word no more gentle than ruightv. It is strong enough to throw nn archangel. But it w ill be well for us to stand around it and warm ourselves by its glow as Paul and his fellow- vovagers stood around the lire on the Island of Malta. Kindm ss All definitions of that multipo int word break dow n half w ay. You say it Is clemency, benignity, generosity: it is made up of good willies, it is an expression of beneficence, it is a contribution to the happiness of others. Some one else says: " lij , I can give von a definition of kind ness; it is sunshine of the soul. It is affec tion perennial, it is a climatic grace, it is the combination of all graces It is compassion. It is the perfection of gentle manliness and omanliness " Aieyou all through? Tou have made a dead failure in your definition. It cannot be defined. But w e all know what St Is, for we all felt its pow er. VARIETIES OF KINDNESS. There is kindnes- of disposition, kindness of w ord, kindness of act, and there Is Jesus Christ the impersonation of all of them. Kindness! You canuotaffect it, you cannot play it as a part, you cannot enact it, you cannot dramatize it. By tue grace of God you lnust have tt inside yon. an everlasting fcumincr or rather a combination of June i.nd October, the geniality of the one and the tonic of tho other. It cannot dw ell with arrogance or spite or reienge or rr.ale olonco. Kindness wishes everybody well, every man well, every woman well, every child woll, every bird well, c verv horse w ell, every dog well, every cat well. Gne this spi-.it lull swimr and tu would have no moie need of societies ior prevention of ciuelty to animals, no more need ol protective sewing -w orain's as f o lation. and it would dull every sw ord un t'l it would not cut skin deep, and un wheel every battery till it could not roll, and ioke punpowderof no more use in the w 01 Id ex cept lor rock blasting or pyrotechric cele bration. Kindne-s is a spirit divinely implanted, anil in answ er to prayer, and then to bo seduloush- cultivated until it fills .ill the nature with a pcriume richer and inoi e pun uent than mignonette. WAITING FOB OPPORTUNITIES. But arc you waiting and hoping for some on to be bankrupted or exposed, or dis comforted, or in some way overthrow n, then kindness has not taken possession of your nature. You are w recked on a Malta where there are no oi anges. You arc entertaining n guest so unlike kindness that kindness vi!l not loaiii and dwcil under the same root The most exhausting and unhealthy and ruinous fit ling on earth is a reeugeiul tpiritor rctalntin spirit, as I know bv ex perience, tor I have tried it for five of ten minutes at a time The only way you will ver triumph ocr ourenemiec is byloi iving them and wishing them all good and ro evil. As malevolence is the most unensy and profitless and dangerous feeling, kind jiess is the mot lic.il till ul and delightlul. Let us all urav for this spirit of kindness. It will settle a thousand questions. It will faange the phase of everything. It will mellow through and through our entire nature. It w ill transform a lifetime. It is not a feeling gotten up for occasions, but perennial. And this grace of kindness is not t-pasmodic, is not intermittent, is not lor a little while, but it irradiates the whole nature. THE POWER OF THE TONGUE. I mu-t -peak of kindness of word. When you meet u'ljone do you say a pleasant thing or an unpleasant! Do you tell him of agreeable things j ou have heard about him, or the dUagiceabic? When ho leaves you, does he teel hotter or docs he leel worse OU, tho power of the tongue for the produc tion of happineus or miscn! One would think from the way the tongue jo caged m we might nkc the hint that it liasadanufrouspdwer First it is chained to the back pan or 'he mouth by strong muscle. Th n it is surrounded by the teeth 1 the lower Jaw, so n.any ivorj bars; nnd then bv the tee'ii of the upper jaw, more ior ban. Then nu'looi all are the two lips with tho power of compression and nr rest. And jet notwithstanding these four imi-r'-onmerts or limitation-, hov. many uik no hint in rpg.ud to the dangerous power oi tue torgue, and the results are laceration, -acuncmon. and damration.

A llirSXRKXCE OF TEMPERAMENT, la'hnitthnt tln is easier for some temper aments than for ethers, Some are boi n pes simists, and s-oine uro born optimists, and that demonstrates Itselt all through every thing It is. i cloudy morning. You meet a pessiml-aandjou siy "What weather to day?' He answers "It's going to storm," nnd umbrella under arm and a waterproof oiorcoat show that ho honest in that utterxnie On the same block, a minute a'tcr. joumeetan optimise, and jou say: "Mi.it weather to-day?"

My heaier. if you are by nature a pes simist, make a special effort by the grace of God to extirpate the dolorous and the hjjHnrit'.cil Jrom joar disposition. Be lieve nothing against anybody until tho rong is estaolished bv at least two wit nesses, of integrity. And if guilt be proven find out the extenuating circumstances, if there are anv. And thencommit to memory so that i ou can quote for yourself and quoto for others that exquisite thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians about charity that sur fers long, and is kind, and hopeth all things, and endnreth all things. Furthermore, there is kindness of notion. That la what Joseph showed to his out rageous brothers. Do you know that a strange thing has taken place in the pulptc and all the old ministers arts helping the young ministers, and all the old doctors are helping the young doctors, and tho farmers are. assisting each other In gathering tho harvest, and for that farmer who Is sick tho neighbors have made a "bee," as they call it, and thev have all turned in to help him got hl6 crops into the garner. And they tell me that the older and more skillful re porters who have permanent positions on papers are helping the young fellows who are just beginning to try and don't know ex actly how to do it. And aftera few erasures nnd interpolations ou the reporter's pad, they say: "hor hero is a readable account of that tragody; hand it in. MAKE YOUK OWN MILLENIUM. If wc cannot yet have amlllenlum on a large scale, let us bavo it on a small scale, and under our own vestments. Kindness! If this world is evct bronght to God that is the thing that will do it. You cannot fret the world np although you may tret the world down. You cannot scold it into ex cellence or reformation or jrodlmess. Kindness to all! Surelv It ought not to bo a difficult grace to culturo when we see tow ering above the centuries such nn example that one glimpse of It ought to melt and transform all nations. Kindness brought our Lord from Heaven. Kindness to mis creants, kindness to persecutors, kindness to the crippled and the blind and the cata leptic and the leprous and the dropsical, and the demoniacal characterized him all tho w ay, and on tho cross, kindness to the bandits suffering on the side of nim, and kindness to the executioners while yet they pnshed tho spear, and hammered the spikes, and howled the blasphemies. OVER 25,000 BARRELS. THE PRODUCTION" OF THE SOUTH 1YEST POOLS INCREASING. There Are Many "tYells Duo This Week "Which Should Do Big Freight Stopped Between Gregg and McDonald Important Meeting of Producers. The coming week will witness a big in crease in the production of the McDonald field unless all lines and theories fail There are a number of wells which should reach the fifth sand in the proximity of wells which have proven bonanzas for their owners. The pipe lines were tak ing away the oil at the rate of 21,000 bar rels a day Friday, and Thursday this was up to 23.000. And still oil was beimr lost. Satur day morning a line was broken for fivo hours, ana during the time lequired to re pair the break the wells gamed rapidly, and In several Instances tanks were running over. Saturday evening the reports showed that "unusual efforts w ere being put forth by the pipe line people as they were then pumping away about L30D barrels an hour or over 31,000 barrels a day. The Xational Transit Is building five tanks in the field with a capacity of 55.CO0 barrels each. Four of them will be located at Gregg station on the Panhandle. When these are completed there will be 1,000.000 barrels of tankage at McDonald and Washington. The w ork of building these tanks, as w ell as op erations in general, are delayed by the re fusal of the Panhandle to accept any freight for at least a week which is billed for sta tions between Gregg and McDonald, Inclu sive. All of the available sidings aie now filled with cars, and it is an impossibility to ship in any more until relief is afforded by the removal of the cars already there. Nearlngtho Last Sand. McDotild Clark JtBannstei's well on the Sauters' property just broke the top of the fifth sand Saturday and Increased its flow of 1M) barrels from the Gordon to 2X barrels a day and was shut dow n. It will be drilled into the fifth to-day. It is a few hundred feet northeast of Sauters & Go's lot on the Sau ters' property. Shaffer & Co., on the Sau ters', between the two wells named, is down about 1,400 feet. The Mary Bobb well ol the Royal Gas Company in the northwestern part of the field was drilled a few minutes Saturday and increased its production from 30 to 110 barrels an hour. The Devonian Oil Company's Xo. 1 on the Elliott, Xo. 2 on Faj'all, and No. 2 on the J. H. Robb, should reach the fifth the last of this week. W. P. Black & Co.'s Xo. 1 on tho Crooks lot, and their Xo. 1 on the Springer, are due in the fifth Friday or Saturday. Roland & Co., on the McLaln lot, are almost in the last sand. The Wallace OU Company will commence spudding to-dav on tho lumber j ard lot, near tho railroad station. Davis & McClurg are down 1,300 feet ou the Young lot.

An important meeting of the P. P. A. will be held to-night Among other things they will take action on a paper which is being circulated in tho Southwest Pipe Lines. The latter asks its patrons to sign the paper w hich gives the Southwest lines the power to transfer the .oil now in its own lines to the National Transit Company The objection raised by producers is that tho National Transit Company Is the cus todian of largo quantities of Lima oil, and that the producers w ould have no guaranteo that the Xational Transit Company would delntr, at the order of the producers, the same oil which thej placed in the National Transit Company's lines.

European Shortage of Cereals Worked for More Than Was IN IT, AND PEICES ON THE DECLINE Light Hides and Calfskins Dull, and Steer Hides Higher. HARNESS LEATHER MOTES- FREELT Office of Pittsburg DisrATCH. ) Saturday, Sept. 12. J The feature of the week in trade lines has been the steady decline of cereals. Short European cereal crops were evidently worked by the bulls last mouth for more than facts justified. We are now having the reaction from the too high prices of Au gust. "Wbeat which under speculative in fluences went to 5110, is now down to SI 00. Flour has found a lower level under the in fluence of declining wheat, and prices are 25c per barrel lower than they were a week aco. As will appear by reference to market columns, receipts of grain and hay for the week have been unusually large. Hay, oats and mill feed have been steadily gravltatinc toward a lower level all the week, under the influence of heavy receipts. In produce lines we note a firm market for dairy product, at Jiighcr prices than ruled a week ago. Peaches have the lead in fruit lines. Other fruits are slow and dull. Vege tables touched their lowest point for the season this week. Gardeners lament tho dull ness of trade. Their loss, however, Is the consumer's gain. Xot for many years have farm and garden products been so low as they are at present. II ides and Calfskins. Light hides and calfskins are dull and slow, and heavy steer hides are strong at a shade higher prices. Recelpta oj common and low grade cattle have been unusually large at our local yards of late, and the ef fect is seer in the abundance of light weight hides and the scarcity of heavy weights. Heavy steer hides have well nigh ceased to be a quantity in our local markets. The few that came to the front are very active at prices quoted, which are Jc per pound higher than a week ago. On the other hand buff hides and calfskins are very dull and inside quotations rule. Following are prices paid by Allegheny tanners for stock delivered here: Xo. 1 green salted steers, 60 lbs and o er 75l" No. 1 screen salted cows, all weights 5 No. 1 jrrecn salted hides, 40 to 6u lbs 5 No. 1 gretn salted hides 25 to 40 lbs 5 No. 1 salted bulls 4f No 1 salted calfskln6 6 No. 1 green salted i eat kips 5 No. 1 green salted rnnrer kips 4 No. 1 green steers, 601bs ana over 7 No. I green rows, all weights 41!

Tanners report a very active movement in this line. Prices arc firm at the advance of lc per pound noted in this column a week ago. Allegheny tanners roport a good de mand for products as fast as ready for market. One of our principal consumers of harness leather had this to say of the situ ation: "Our trade this jear so far is a fair stand off to that of last year. First class stock has changed very little in price from what It has been all the summer. Volume of trade w 1th us has been about the same this season as last. "The cost of choice stock varies very little this season from last. The decline has been mostly iu common and low grade stock." Following are the pi ices of names; leather, as established by the Allegheny tanners- Xo. 1 trace, 35c 1ft tt; B trace. 33c 3 lb; Xo. 1 extra heavv, 100 fts and over, 36c t lb; B extra heavy, 31c W lb; Xo. 2 extra heavy, 29c ?! lb; Xo. 1 heavy, 130 to 160 lbs, 32e t tt; B heavv, SOe t tt: No. 2 heav-, 2c ft tt; black line, 29c Boat and Shoe Trade. There has been a steady improvement in demand for the past lew weeks. Sales of bankrupt stock are now nearly over, and all signs point to a good fall and winter trade. The Boston Ilerpld has this to say of the sit uation and outlook: "The boot onifshoe trade continues to im prove. The amount of orders being received is better. There is a large number of buyers hci e in person, and trade continues to pro gress toward better things. There is now little hesitation about tiadc through finan cial stress or lor a lack of confidence in financial affairs. Money is not difficult to obtain in the legitimate' boot audshoe trade, and that, too, at a reasonable rate per cent. The olume of trade is daily improving.and, though It maj- take a whole season to get entirely over the depression incident to the recent finnncial stress, yet it is certain that there is a very steady gain toward prosper ous times in boots and shoes. The condi tion of the countiy was never better, and it con tinned to impi ove. People are wearing out boots and shoes as fast as they ever were, and they are going to have the means in their possession to gratify their desires in the direction of now boots and shoes to an extent almost unheard of previously. It is explained that the passing of a few months of time is all that is required to bring about one of the highest tides of pros perity ever realized in the boot and shoe trade." HOME SECURITIES AND CASE. TRANSACTIONS OF THE PAST WEEK ON THE LOCAL EXCHANGE. Investors Still Halting Between Two Opin ions A Narrow Market and Few Changes Gains and Losses About a Se'-Off The Situation Briefly Reviewed. Last week was a dnll one in local specula tive circles, total sales on call falling under 1,000 shares. There were none yesterday. Brokers were even careless about quota tions, and the number put on tho board was away below the Saturday average. Office business was light also. There was talk of some big deals, but they did not materialize. Final prices ks compared with those of tho previous Saturday show the following changes: Wheeling Gas jrnincd J. Central Traction. 3: Pleasant Valley, ; Luster, . Philadelphia Gas lost M, Citizens' Traction, Y,: Electric, Jfc Switch and Signal, fc Air brake. IJ4. There wcie no changes In actual condi tions, and therumormill turned out nothing of Importance. The Tractions wero dis cussed to some extent without letting in any new light in lepirdtoeaminirs orpiospects. Tho natural gas stocks weie reinforced by several new wells and occupied a stronger position. The lnllowing from a recognized authority on stocks appears to fairly state the situa tion as the week left it: "The reactionists arc evidently doing their best tostematido which day after day proves its sti ength to he ovcrwhelmlnir. There is no lack of en deavor tofet tho curient m the opposite di rection ftoin that in which it naturally flows, but the constantfalluroattendantupon such efforts show s the uselessness of all attempts to resist influences whoso tendency is to airay the financial woild agaiust the feeblo work of manipulators." Local monetary conditions during the week were faorable to business. Thcie were no funds to waste 011 w lldcat schemes, but plenty to supply all legitimate wants of mei chants and manufacturers, and some thing over. Reports from other business centers were equally favorable. There is no longer serious apprehension of a stringency this year, fortheieason that the crops are moving without the least friction and gold is returning from Europe. The Clearing House business for the day and week shows these results: Saturday's exchanges t 2.071.170 5.1 Saturday's balances 377,070 16 Week's exchanges 11,311. 74U 78 Week's balances 1,773,17112 Previous week's exchanges 11,637,635 15 Exchanges week of '880 14.8S5.115 63 Balances week of 1830 2,150.286 16 The New York bank statement, although showing a small decrease in tho resei ve and legal tenders, was more favorable than ex pected, and Its publication was followed by n. rush to cover shorts in the late trading. Changes are: Reserve, decrease, $433 625; loans, increase, $935,400; specie, increase, $2,945,300; legal tenders, decrease. 3,099,700; denosits, incieasc, $1,116 900; circulation, in crease, $7,600. The amount above legal re quirement is now $8,723,275. LIVE STOCK MARKETS. Receipts, Shipments and Prices at East Lib erty and All Other Tnrds. Officii of Pitt3buro Dispatch, ? Saturday, Sept. 12.

Butter Beaches the Price Where Imi tations Are Wanted. GRAPES AND PLUMS PLENTIFUL. The Week's Cereal Receipts Large and Prices Tend Lower. ACTITE MARKET IN GROCERY LINES Office of Pittsburg DisrATCH, Saturday, Sept. 12. Country Produce (Jobbing prices) Commission men report a slow Saturday. The peach supply was light, but sufficient for demand. There were not over a half dozen carloads on sale to-day. Consumers have been making the most of their oppor tunity for a few weeks past and markets have slowed up as a result. All garden stuff is in favor of the consumer. The ad vance in creamery butter has had the effect of bringing oleo to the front once more. Re ceipts of oleo are now about one carload daily. Wholesale dealers are required to pay $1S0 license for selling oleo, aud retailers $48. Prices have Jumped oc per pound in the past week or two. Fancy stock is selling in a re tail way at 25c per lb. Tho amount palmed off on consumers as butter Is a problem which this editor will not undertake to solve. Eggs are not so firm as tney have been for a few days past, but' strictly fresh stock readily brings our quotations. Plnms nnd gmpes are in bounti ful supply, and commission men find a diffi culty in unloading goods in these lines. Putter Creamery.

A DRIVE ON RICHMOND AND WEST POINT SECURITIES Caused by Rnmors, Including; One of a Receivership The General Stock List Remains Firm and Almost Unchanged Railroad Bonds Qnlet and Heavy. New York, Sept. 12. The stock market this morninz opened with a confident feeling and with prices generally small fractions better than those of last evening, but there was an other batch of rumors touching the condi tion of Richmond nnd West Point, and the assertion that a receiver is inevitable was louder than ever. Naturally, as an accom paniment of these stories, the bears at tacked the stock and bonds with vigor right at the outset, and the common stock fell away from 13K to 10, while tho preferred dropped from 60 to 55 At the same time the Collateral Trust 63 were pounded down from 58Kto51. The effect upon tne rest of the list was not what It ought to nave been, considering the suddenness and force of the hammering, and, while Burlington yielded 1 per cent to 95, the others lost only fractional amounts. The foreign houses were buyers, as a rule, while there was some selling for Western account, nnd the local trading element were sellers almost to a man. The low prices brought in some new buying for the long account, and covering at the bottom prices was urgent, which had the effect of rallying the list rather sharply after 11 o'clock. The bank statement was more encour aging to the bulls than expected, and the demand for stocks in the last few mlnntes was speolnlly large. Prices continued to ad vanco, and not only were the early losses made up, but fractions in addition were gained in most cases. The best prices were not fully maintained, however, and the final changes are insignificant in almost all of the active stocks. The close was firm at slight concessions from the best figures. Richmond and West Point is down 1 per cnt after a material rally and the preferred 4 per cent from the last previous sale.

Accumulations of rmicns are especially well marked in the morning, after smoking during the evening hours, when the gastric walls are covered with a thiok, tenacious layer. Food entering the stomach at this time will become covered with this tenacious coating, which for a time prevents the action of the gastric ferments, and so hinders proper digestion. One or two of the JJpden Mineral Pastilles taken in the morning be fore breakfast will clear the throat and stomach of all these accumulations of mucus. These Pastilles are also ar excel lent remedy lor sore throat, colds and all. catarrhal affections.
