REV. E. L MILLER'S SERMON.
Dolivsr il an Interesting- Discourse
to
Bla Cocgregatlon Last Evening.
Itsv. E. L. Miller, pastor of Uolv
Trinity Lutheran church, corner Adams
avenue and Mulberry street, preached to
his congregation last evening from tho
text, "What profit shall this birth
right do met''
It is Indisputably true, ho said that
those things which nre In themselves
most valuable. are sometimes
considered of the leait worth.
This Is often true of worldly things,
and especially true of spirilml things.
Men do not value the latter at they
onght. When invited to a epirltual
fenst, men make all manner of invalid
and unreasonable exanses
Eiau failed to value the privileges
luvuiveu in uis ngai 01 primogeniture.
A3 the eldest sen he had the right to
the inberitaneo of an earthly king.
Both spiritual and earthly tretsures
were involved iu this right of nrlino-
genittire, yet be sold it lor a mess ot
pottage.
But there camo a time when Eeau
perceivod what a bad bargain ho had
made. Then he sought his father, and
with many tears begged that the bar
gain be reversed, but it could not bo
done. It was too late.
So with those who in the same way
barter away for trifles their privilege
to an heavenly inheritance. There
co nits a day when nil such shall see
their bad bargain. Tuev will repent it
when they hear the words "Depart
tri.m mo; l know ye not; but it will be
too late, too late for ropontancn then.
This heavenly birthright Is ours
Uod gives it to us as His cnildren. It
is a great possession and entitles us to
every good thing, for it is written "All
tblngi are yours. "Seek vo tho king
dom of Clod cud nil these things shall
oe audoa to you. Anion.

SABBATH LAW BREAKERS.
Alderman Post Allowed the Defence
of Prior Conviction in Several
Cnses-AII Open Yesterday.
The continued cases for last woek
against the violators of the Sunday ob
servance law were finally disposed of
Saturday afternoon in Aldormun Post 'a
court.
The uction against Druggist Laewen
borg was the first hoard. Attorney
uonn m. uarris represented the do
reiMiint and offered the transcript of
iuuerinan I'liztimnions as proving
prior conviction. colonel i'.Li Hitchcock
dissected the document aud drew
Alderman Post's attention, to a technical
iap3e in the form of the transcript.
Although Attornoy Harris etreuuously
objected to tho docision, Aidarmati
Post ruled that the pap r was imper
fectly drawn and would not bo ad
mitted as evidence.
A motion was then made by Attor
ney Harris to allow a writ of certiorari,
aud the transcript wus then submitted
us part of the reeord. Tho case against
F. G. Waldner was t'uo next one. and
Attorney Fred R. Stark, for tho de
fendant, offered tho transeript of Al
derman FitzMmmons.
Colonel Uitchoock objected to the
admission of this trunscript; but Alder
man Post allowed it, aud that vir
tually settled the case.
Constable P. F. Ryan was put upon
the stand and swore that he bought
scda water in Waldner's place of busi
ness and accordingly wont tho next
morning and bad a warrant sworn out
Aldermnn Fitzsimmons. Wald
thereupon dismissed.
The information against Druggist D
S. Ryan was then sworn to, and At
torneys Ross and Hoban sot up the
same defense ns iu the foregoing ctsss.
Alderman Post examined the tran
script, found it was legally complete
and dismissed tho defendant.
A TMBUNB reporter yesterday visited
tho business places of the dealers who
aro arrested weekly for infraction of
the Sabbath law. All of the stores,
except the Lackawanna avenue stand
of Cigar Dealer Moses were otien 1 the
Wyoming avenue store of Mr. Moses
was, however, doing business as usual.
McGarrah & Thomas accommodated
all who desired to invest in soda water,
Druggist Loewenburg did tho satno.
In D. S. Ryan's window beneath the
advertisement, "Dony's salve," was the
printed placard, "Knocked Out." His
soda fouutain was well patronized and
kept fizzling during tho day and even
ing. At Phelps' drnrr store the sains re
sult was fouud. On the front window
on tho Spruce stroot sido was a card
entitled, "Wo are bore to accommodate
the public every day in the year." Ia a
window in front of the store was an
othor card labeled thus: "Soda and
mineral water promote temperanoe."
Tho reporter interviewed Mr. Phelps
and was told that no change will be
nude ob far as he is concerned. His
store will be kept open every day in the
week and soda water dispensed as loug
ns he is the proprietor of it.
On the other hand, Rev. Mr. Dony is
uctivo and intends to prosecute the of
fenders with the sumo vim he has dis
played in the past

Tho second attempt to waylay and

Colonel Ripple, who is always mak

By Colonel Ripple's generous gift all

after each paper will be safoly stored in

a valuable pieco of property. Were

COMIC OP. RA AT SUMMER PRICES.
McKar-Knney Company at the Froth-
inehain This Evening.
The summer Mason, will bo inaugur
ated nt tho Frothingh.im tonight, by
tbo MncKay-Kenney Opera company,
aud there is every reason to believe
that with the excellent company , the
perfect vontllating system of the
theatre and the low prices, it will bo 11
great success. Comic opera is de
cidedly a summer style of entertain
ment. It is liht and frothy, contains
no great amount of dialogue or heavy
dramatic uctions, The pieasant strains
of music soothe tho ear, while pretty
combinations of color delight and
pleuBe the eye.
A elisor review of the artists who
compose the Muckay-lCenny Opera
company, reveals the fact that this or
ganiz ttion is one of considerable talent
und merit.
A popular prima donna is always a
great fuctor in the snccets of summor
opora. That Mie6 Fannij Myers will
become a grtut favorite, la already as
sured from the excellent encomiums
that have preceded Iter. Miss Myers is
an actress ns well as a singer. Her
voice is a pure soprano, strong, flexible
and sympathetic, und her remarkable
veisatility is said to fit her for tho por
trayal of a wido range of opratic roles.
In tho souond roles, Miss Lizzie Gon
zalez will doubtless make a big hit for
public favor. She possesses a mezzo
soprano voice of raro sweetness and
purity, Is a studious urtiet, and her im
personations exhibit careful study and
consideration.
Miss Eva Beith, who will asiuraa the
contralto role, has been connected with
many of the leading operatic companies
nnd comes highly recommended,
An operatic tenor is a porsonago of
considerable conjecture, especially for
the feminine theater-goer who dot
on tho tonor with a sweet voice.
Charles Holmes poss9sso9 a well culti
vated voice, wonderful in range and
swojt in tons. Ho is a good actor,
something extraordinary ia the general
run ot tenors, and hi dramatic ability
is said to euhanco his value as an ar
tist.
Dan Young, comedian, is nn artist in
the full, broad sense of the term: not u
caricature, but an artist of the highest
graao. 110 is amy ussistd by Tom
Whyto, and a funnier duo it would be
hard to find, nnd as laugh producers
they cannot be equaled.
A word of praise is due tho excellent
chorus. It is large, selected with groat
care, and contains a number of pretty,
renlly pretty girls with cultivated
yoiceB. Tho costumes will be appro
priate and correct,
"Girofle, Girofla," the opening opera,
is one ot Lccoq's brightest and best
works. It is tne latest and greatest
success of tho Lillian Russell Opera
company. Matinees will he givon for
ladies and children Wednesday nnd.
Saturday during tho season, nnd special
summer prices will prevail daring tho
operatic soaaon, .evening prices, 15,
25, 35 and 00 cents, and 10, 15 and 25
cents at the matiaees.
