A liraen of Resolution in the ParaWe Uttered oj the Eatior. TALXIGX'S LATEST BDKDAT SERMON Lovdon, Aug. 2L The latest sermon preached by EeT. Dr. Talmage was from Lnke xr., 18: "I -will arise and co to my father." There Is nothing like hunger to tako the energy out ot a roan. A hungry man can toll neither vrlth pen nor hand nor foot. There has been maqy nil army defeated not so much for lack of ammuuition ait lor lack of tread. It -was that fact that took the fire out of this young roan of the text. Storm and exposure will wear out any man's life in time, but hunger makes quick work. Tlio most awful cry ever heard on cartn is the cry for bread. A traveler tells us that in Asia Minor thero aro trees which bear fruit looking very much liko the long bean of our time. It Is styled the carab. Once in a while the people, reduced to destitution, would eat these carafes, but generally the carabs, the beans spoken of here in the text, were thrown only to the swine, and they crunched them with great nvlclity. But this youns man of my text could not pet eTen them without stealing them. So one day among the swine troughs he begins to tollloqnizo. lie says: "These are no clothes for a rich man's son to wear; this is no kind of business for a Hebrew to be en gaged In feodlng swine I'll go home: I will arise and go to my father." o olory in Committing Sin. I know there are a great many people who try to throw a fascination, a romance, a halo about sin: bnt notwithstanding all that Lord iiyron and Georze Sand havo said in legard to it, it is a moan, low, contemptible business, and putting food and fodder into the tronzhsofa herd of iniquities that root and wallow in the sonl of man is very poor business for men and womon Intended to bo pons and daughter of the Lord Almighty. And when this young man resolved to go home, it was a very wise thing for hlra to do. and the only question is whether we will follow him. Satan promises larze wages if we will servo him: but he clothes his victims with ngs, and he Dinches them with hunger, and when they start out to do better lie sots after them all the bloodhounds of hell. The resolution of this text was formed In disgust at his present circumstances. If this young man had been by his employer set to cultimng Sowers, or training vines over an arbor, or keeping account of the ork market, or overseeing other laborers, ho would not have thought or going home. If he had had his pocket' fnll of money, if lie bad been aDle to say: "I have Jl,000now of my own: what's the use of my going back to tny father's houseT Do you think I am pnlng back to apologize to the old man? Why, he would put me on the limits; he would not have going on around the old place suon conduct as i nave ueen engaged in I should co home: I have plentr of money. iilohty of pleasant surroundings,why should go home?" Ah! it was his pauperism. He hud to go home. Some man comes and says to me: "Why do you talk about the ruined state of the human soul? Why don't yon SDeak about the progress of the nineteenth century, and and talk of something more exhilarating?" Realization of Ruin Slut Come First. It is for the reason a man never wants the Gospel until he realizes he is in a famine ptrnck state. Suppose I should come to you in your home and you are in good, robust health, and I should begin to talk about medicines, and abont how much better this medicine is than that, and some other medi cine than some other medicine, and talk about this physician and that physician. --After a while vou would get tired, and you vo'ld say: "I don't want to hear about licinrs. 'Why do you talk to me of physi cians? I never have a doctor." Suppose I come into vnur house and I find ? on se erely sick, and 1 know tho medicines tl'at will cure you, and I know the physician ulio is skillful enough to meet vour case. You say: "Bring on all that medicine, bring on that phvsiclan. I am terribly sick and I want help." If I came to you and you feci" you are all right in body and all right in mind, and all right in soul, you have need of nothing: but suppose I have petsnafled you that the lenrosy of sin is uDon vou. the t nun n jv aiuiUE tuois u uu .? vta n t-tj worst of nil sicknes, Oh! then you say: "Bring me that balm of the Gospel, bring mp that divine medicament, bring me Jesus Christ." But says some one in the audience, "How do you prove that we are in a ruined condi tion by sin?" Well, I can prove it in two ways, and yon can have your choice. I can prove it either by the statements of men, or hv the statement of God. Which shall it be? Ton all say, "Let us have the statement of God." Well, He Bays in one place: "The heart is deceitful above all things and des perately wicked." He says in another place: 'What is man that he should be clean? and be which is born of a woman, that he should lwi righteous?" Ho says in another place: "There is none that doeth good, no, not one." He Bays in another place: "As by- one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." Stionir, Drfl-ilto Resolutions Needed. "Well," you say, "I am willing to acknowl edge that, but why should I take the partic ular rescue that you propose?" This is the reason: "Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." This is the reason. "There is one name given un der heaven among men whereby they may be saved." Then there are a thousand voices nere rcaay to say: "Well, I am readv to accept thl help of the Gospel; I .would like to have this divine cure; how shall I go to work!" Let me sav that a mere whim n undefined longing amounts to nothing. You must have a stout, tremendous resolution like this yonng man of the text when he said: "I will arise and go to my father." "Oh!" says some man, "how do I know my father wants me? how do 1 know, if I gb back, I would be received!" "Oh!" says some roan, "you don't know where I have been: you don't know bow far I have wan dered: yo'i wouldn't talk that way to me if you knew all the iniquities I have commit ted." What is that flutter among the angels of God? It is news, it is news! Christ lias found the lost. Again. I notice that this resolution of the young man or the text was founded in sor row at his misbehavior. It was not mere physical plight. It was grief that he had so maltreated his lather. It Is a sad thine after a lather has done everything for a child to have that child be ungrateful. How sharper than a serpent's tooth, it is. lo hare a tliaukiess child. That is Shakespeare. "A foolih son is the heaviness of his mother." Thatls the Bible. Well, my friends. iia e not i-ome of m liin cruel prodigals? Havo we not maltreated oar Father? And such a Father! So loving, ,.0 kind. If He had been a stranger, if He rnd ioraken us, ii He had flagellated us, ir Ho had pounded ns and turned us out of loorson the commons, it would not have bern ko wonderful our treatment of Him; nut Ho is a Father so loving, so kind, and yet how many or in for our wanderings have never apologized. Ilom-slcknen Slakes Him Resolute. I reniaik still further, that this resolution of the textwas founded in afeeling of home plckncss. I do not know how long this young man, how many months, how many j ears, he had been away Irom his father's house; Out theie is something about the reading of my text that makes me think he Wk homesick. We read nothing in this story this para ble lounded on everyday life we read noth ing about the mother. Itsavs nothing ilinnt rotng home to her. I think she was dead. I think she had died of a broken heart at his wandering", or perhaps ho had gone Into illpatlnn I mm t'le fact he could not re member a loving and sympathetic mother. A man tieer gets over having lost his Mother. Xuthingsaid about her hcie. But lie is homesick for his father's house. But t remark the characteristic ot this re solution wa. it was immediately put into execution. The conte-xt na) , "he arose and came to ills ?atbor." The trouble in nine hundred and ninety-nine times out of a thousand is that our resolutions amount to nothing because we make them for some distant time. If I resolve a become a Christian next year, that amounts to noth ing at all. If I resolve to become a Christian to-morrow, that amounts to nothing at all. It I roolvo at the service to-day to become ii Cnristlan, that amounts to nothing at all. If I ro-olve after I go home to-day to yield rnyhoArtto God; that amounts to nothing lit all. The only kind of resolution thnt Atnonnts to anything is the resolution that is immediately put into execution. OhI but you say: "I agree with you on all that, but I must put it off .a little longer." J Do you Kiow thero were many who came justasnear as you are to the kingdom of God and never entered it? ' Th Story of Two Protllgils. I will tell you of two prodigals, the one that got back and the other that did not get back. In Richmond, Va., there is a very prosperous and beautiful home in many res pects. A young man wan dered off from that homo. He wandered very far Into sin. They heard of him often but he was always on the wrong track. He would not go home. At the door of that beautiful home one night there was a great outcry, i The young man of the honse ran down and opened tho door to see what was the matter. It, was midnight. The rest or the family were asleep. Thero were the wife and chil dren of this prodigal young man. The fact was ho had come home and driven them out. 'He said: "Out or this honse. Away with these children, I will dash their brains out, Out into the storm!" The mother gathered them up and fled. The next morning the Brother, a young man who had stayed at home, went out to find this prodigal brother and son, ana he came where he was, an a saw theyoung man wandering ud and down In front of the place where he had been staying, and tho young man who had kept his Integrity said to the older brother: "Here, what does this mean? what is the matter with you? Why do you act m this way?" The prodigal lookedat him and said: "Who am 1? Whom do you take me to be?" He said: "You are my brother." "No, I am not. I am a brute. Have you seen anything of my wife and children? Are they dead? I drove them nut last night In the storm. I am a brute. John, do you think there is any help for me? Do you think I will ever get over this life of dissipation?" He raid: "John, there is Just one thing that will stop this." The prodigal ran his flneer across his throat and said: "That will stop it, and I'll stop itberore niffht. Oh! my brain: I can stand It no longer!" That prodigal never got home. But I will tell you of a prodigal that did get home. One Man Who Got Back Home. In this country two young men started from their father's house and went down to Portsmouth. The father conld not pursue his children; for some reason he could not leave home, and so he wrote a letter down to Mr. Gnffln, saying; "ilr. Griffin, I wish you would go and see my two sons. They have arrived at Portsmouth and they aro going to take ship, and going away from home. I wish you would persuade them back." Mr. Griffin went and he tried to per suade them back. He persuaded one to go. He went with vory easy persuasion be cause he was very homesick already. The other young man said, "1 will not go. I have had enough of home. I'll never go home." "Well." said Mr. Griffin, "then if you won't go home, I'll got you a resecta ble position on a respectable ship." "No you won't," said the prodigal; "no, you won't. I am going as a common sailor; that will plague my father most, and what will do most to tantalize and worry him will please me best." Years passed on and Mr. Griffin was seatod in his study One day when a message came to him saying there was a young man in irons on a ship at tho dock a young man onnitatnnaH m rttl whn wtalinri tn HAM t.lifa clergyman. Mr. Griffin went down to tho UUUJl U1IU ROIIV Ull UIJJUUUIU. JL1IO JUUIl man said to him: "Yon don't know me, do' you?" "So," he said, "I don't know you." "Why, don't you remomber that young man you tried to persnade to go home and he wouldn't go? ' "O! yes," said Mr. Griffin, "are you that man?" "Yes. I am that man," said the other. "I would like to have you fray for me. I have committed murderand must die: bnt I don't want to go out of this world until someone prays for me. Yon are my father's friend and I would like to have you pray for me." Tho Iteturn and the Forgiveness. Mr. Griffin went from judicial authority to judicial authority to get that young man's pardon. He slept not night nor day. He went from influential person to Influential person until in some way he got that young man's pardon. He came down on the dock, and as he arrived on the dock with the par don, the father came. He had heard that his son under a disguised namo had been committing crime and was going to be put to death. So Mr. Griffin nnd the father went on ship's deck, and at the very moment Mr. Griffin offered the pardon to the young man, the old father threw his arms around the son's neck and the son said: "Father, I have done very wrong and I am very sorry. I wish I had never broken your heart. I am very sorry." "Oh!" said the father, "don't mention it. It doesn't make any dilference now. It is all over. I forgive ou, my son," and he kissed him and kissed him and kissed him. THE TESEOE NEXT IB LINE. Her Armor Plate to Be Tested at Indian Head Grounds. "WASHnrGTOir, Aug. 2L The next of the double-turreted monitors to be com pleted will be the Terror, now under way at the Brooklvn Navy Tard. She is al ready to receive her armor, and the work of placing the plates In position will proba bly soon be begun. The Bethlehem Iron Works, which has the contract for the Terror's armor, has shipned the first test plate to the Washing ton Navy Yard to be fired at on the Indian Head proving ground. If this plate comes up to the requirements, the first shipment of armor to New York will be made at once. The Bethlehem Company now has its forcing plant in first-class running order, and it is expected deliveries of armor will hereafter be more frequent The armor experts of the company are still co-operating with the Bureau of Ord nance in the Navy Department in experi ments looking to the further improvement of armor, and another development trial will probably take place at the Indian Head proving Grounds within the next few months. A single plate of nickel-steel treated by the Harvey process will be fired at The plate will be of the same dimensions as those tested in the former trials, but even better results than have heretofore been ob tained are looked for. THE PHILADELPHIA. STEIKE. Hughes Patterson Claim Complete Vic tory, but Strikers Still Hold Oat. Philadelphia, Aug. 2L The strike at Hughes & Patterson's iron mill, began July 1, because the firm refused to sign the Amal gamated scale, is thought to be at an end, although the locked-ont men still entertain hopes that they will come out successful. The firm refuses to deal with them, and each day is securing new men to take their places. The non-union men now in thel mill are obliged to have police protection each day. Horning, noon and night a squad of officers accompany them to their homes and back to the mill to prevent strikers committing any harm, but with the exception of one case where a drunken striker assaulted a non-union worker, there have been no attempts to molest the workers. Thus far the firm has only been operating their Delaware mill, but on Mdhdav their Bobinton mill will be started. The firm announces that sufficient men have been secured to run the mill, and that new hands are being employed each day to take the places of strikers." nOKSFOUD'S ACID PHOSPHATE Makra Delicious Lemonade.

Beblihv Aug. 2L For some time past a report has been in circnlation in Catholic circles in this ctyy that Herr Cahensly had received a letter from Archbishop Cirrigan, of Kew Xork, encouraging the former's efforts to secure the selection in America fort Catholic emigrants of bishopB of the same nationality as the people over which fhey were appointed to preside. It was urther said that the German Catholics were exploiting the letter as showing that Arch bishop Corrigan did not approve of the views of Cardinal Uibbonr and ArcnDisnop Ireland on this question. The agent of the Associated Press has succeeded in obtaining a copy of the Archbishop's letter. It is as follows: My Dkah Sih I have the pleasure of ao knowleding your kind favor of the 18th ult, and I hasten to assure you of ray veneration lor your zeal and faith in devoting yourself to works of Christian charity, especially to improving the spiritual welfare of Catholic emigrants, i nave great piauuio ui kwmij- inn that the rood seed sown by you during vour visit to this country, in founding a home for German Catholic emigrants, has taken root and nroduced already a Gratify ing harvest. The "Leo Haus" is almost en tirely free from debt, and the Keverend Father and good sisters who are installed there are of incalculable benefit to the poor pilgrims landing on a foreign shore. As to the general question of the election of Bishops for the United States, you have, no doubt, already seen the letter of Caidlnal Ledochowsky on this subject. "Now that the problem is solved authoritatively, we all join hands in working for tho advancement of our holy faith. Believe me to remain, my dear sir, very faithfully, your friend and servant in Christ. . M. A. ConniQAX.

Afraid of Her Breath. A bad breath spoils the beauty of a Venus. There is a way to cure this afflic tion. It anses from a disordered stomach. Read what the celebrated Doctor Hofmeister said before the Medical Society of London: "The unnatural motions of the stomach, causing pressure and belch ings, the irritation of the intestines, resulting in catarrh of the bowels, and the inflamed mucous membranes, are the most fruitful of all known causes of disease. "I have found that the unnatural motions of the stomach cease, the in testinal troubles become soothed, and health results from the use of Carls bad Waters or Sprudel Salts. The diuretic effect of these remedies, its quiet action upon the lining of the stomach and its healing power upon the inflamed intestines are beyond all praise."

Unlike many other sales now advertised in the newspa pers, this building and extension sale is no blow or bluf? no sham or splurge, but a genuine, downright fact not , even a matter of choice but of dire compulsion. It's a case of necessity knowing no law, and, as a natural consequence, the prices in every department have been cut and slashed to pieces. In the first place the remodeling of our present building to conform with our Mammoth New Addition (80 feet frontage on Fifth avenue and extending through to Diamond street 230 feet) is crowding us for room; then we are determined to open the enlarged new building with a brand new stock only; again, the season is almost over, and, as you know, we never carry any goods over, if re duced prices will sell them. Now, then, if you're shrewd, you'll take advantage of this state of affairs, and make your purchases at once. Whatever you may need in the line of clothing, Wraps, Cloaks, .Dresses, Hats, Millinery, Furnishing Goods, Crockery, Glassware, Kitchen Utensils, etc, can be supplied at this sale for about half regular prices. IN 3 IN You will find some of the best bargains offered at this Building and Extension Sale. Take our $6.66 suits, for instance. They really are $10, $11, $12 and $13 Suits, while the suits we offer at $13.50 have been marked down from $18, $20, $22 and $25. Now, sir, you may not need a suit just at present; but, being able to save about 50 per cent by buying now, common sense will tell you to take advantage of this golden opportunity. It's the same in Men's Pants. Thus, for instance, we now offer about 50 different lots of former $4, $4.50, $5, $5.50 and $6 Pants at the uniformly low price of only $3. Over in the Boys' Clothing Department the same conditions confront you. Regular $3 and $4 Suits are now $2, while those which, under ordinary circumstances would be considered cheap at $5 and $6, can now be had at $3.
