Mcmbars of Funston’s Staff Made the Capture. Ranks Nex! After Agninaldo. Gen. Pantelon Garcia, the highest in- surgent officer, except Aguinaldo, ‘was inday by Lieut. E. V. Smith, .

Ninety-thrce and a Half Millions of People Perishing in india—Native States Dotted With Heaps of Dead. The report that cholera is strength- ening its deadly hold on famine-stricken India brings the pitiful condition of that country more than ever to public view. About 03.500,000 persons, for this is the population of the districts affected, are sweltering their squalid existences away amid pestilence and misery that show no signs of abating. Hundreds of thousands of pounds in good British gold, good German marks and Ameri- can corn have been thrown into the country, but, judging from the latest ad- vices, all this charity is merely a drop in the ocean The famine and its attendant compli- cations appear to exceed in virulence any two previous visitations. The viceroy, Lord Curzon, of Kedleston, and the government are making cease- less exertions to meet the terrible emer- gency, but the stupendous difficulties confronting them prevent the present supplying of reliefo more than 5,000,- 000. In the meantime the native states are dotted with heaps of dead and dying and the roads are crowded with ghastly bands seeking to escape from the stricken territories, but who, for lack of food and water, mostly succumb in the attempt. One of the most hopeless fea- tures of the whole affair is contained the statement of a correspondent at ila, who writes: “Ten times the total relief could be laid out in a single district without fully relieving its distress. All we can hope for is a succession of good years to put the people on their legs again.’ "SWEPT BY WIND. Ceniral Kansas Visited by Destructive Torna- does— Many Counties Devastated. No less than a dozen tornadoes of more or less severity are reported to have occurred Sunday afternoon in Saline, Ellsworth and Barton counties in Central Kansas, which join each oth- er. At Ellinwood, Barton county, three persons are reported killed. Other storms are reported near Ellsworth and Kanopolis, in Ellsworth county, an near Brookville, in Saline county. ear Kanopolis eight distinct funnel- shaped clouds developed within a radius of 20 miles, four of them large ones and two of which are known to have trav- eled over the earth for a space of 25 minutes. One of the storms tore down all of the outbuildings, granaries and windmills on the Waite farm, three miles north of Kanopolis, and another tore down the house and barn of a farmer north of Ellsworth. Brookville reports six tornadoes traversed the country in as many different directions from that town without touching it. In no instance were details reported. The destruction wrought has probably been off the railroads, at inaccessible points. MANY JAPANESE COMING. Emigration to British Columbia and United States Expected to be Enormous. Oificers of the steamship Tacoma, which arrived at Tacoma, Wash., Sat- urday from Yokohama, speaking of the great number of Japanese flocking to the United States and British Columbia, say it is current talk in Yokohama that 30,000 Japanese will leave their native country this summer for British Colum- bia, and it is believed that the number coming to the United States will be enormous. The steamer Tosu Maru is now due on the sound with 1,600 Japanese on board, and the Dalnyvostock, one of the Tacoma liners, will be there in a few days with goo more. Boy Killed for Three Dollars. John Garrabrandt, a _ 19-year-old youth, Saturday murdered Henry Mass, a 16-year-old boy, in the cellar of a tenement at Jersey City. Garrabrandt arrested and confessed to the mur- der. The boys had been chums. Gar- rabrandt, who was out of work, says he killed Mass to get his week's wages, amounting to $3. so that he might take it home to his family. Garrabrandt led the 16-year-old boy to the cellar, and, distracting his atten- tion, struck him over the head with a piece of lead to which was attached a leather strap. He struck him two or three times, and when the boy had lost consciousness, he threw a noose around his neck and strangled him. Dangerous Counterfeit. Chief Wilkie, of the United States Secret Service, has received irom the Penn National bank, of Philadelphia, one of the most dangerous counterfeit $20 notes that has appeared in a long time, and second only to the ceebrated $100 Monroe head siver certificates, the character of which the treasury experts were for some time unable to definitely determine. The note is of the series 1880, check letter A, plate number 7, Tillman Regis- ter, Morgan treasurer. It is a trifle shorter than the genuine, but the most notable defects are in the portrait of Hamilton. Desperate Fight in Panay. A dispatch received Thursday from Tloilo reports that a desperate fight took place at Leamabnao, in the center of the island of Pans: It appears that a re- connoitering party of the Twenty-sixth infantry was surrounded, and that four of the Americans were killed and that 16 others severely wounded were leit on the field. The remainder of the sol- diers had a narrow escape. The dispatch adds that were sent from Iloilo as soon news of the affair was received, whereupon the Filipinos retreated to their mountain stronghold. reinforce- 1S Texas Town Partially Razed. One-third of the houses in Garza, a town in Denton county, Tex., were de- stroyed late Sunday afternoon by a tornado. No one was hurt, for, warn- ed by a big black cloud, the people sought refuge in stormhouses before the tornado reached them. Reports from other sections of Den- ton county show that several houses at Little Elm were demolished and several people injured. Wites to the north are down. fT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Frank Bergen, of Elizabeth, N. J has declined an appointment as chief justice of Puerto Rico. The comptroller has authorized the First National bank of Ockdale, Pa., to commence business on $50,000 capital. President McKinley has indicated his intention of attending, if possible, the reunion of the Army of the Potomac, at Fredericksburg, on May 23. Capt. Chadwick has delivered to Sec- retary Long a formal statement concern- ing the publications attributing to him remarks derogatory to Admiral Schley. The industrial commission has be- gan consideration of its report on transportation. On May 7 the report on general labor conditions will be dis- cussed. Representative Sibley called upon the President and Secretary Gage Thurs- day and urged the appointment of E. C. Jones, of Bradford, to be collector of customs at Honolulu. The bill restricting traffic in prison made goods was discussed by the House committee on labor and an informal agreement was reached to make such goods subject to the laws of the States into which they were shipped. Has Not Been Heard From for Four Months. With a Few Soldiers he Fled to the Wilderness. : The belief is growing that Agu was killed by the Ygorrotes. There is no proof that he has been alive since Major Peyton C. March, of the Thirty- third regiment, abandoned the chase after the Filipino leader in the Benquet mountains, and an insurgent officer who recently surrendered to Gen. Young says that the insurgent general, Tinio, thinks Aguinaldo is dead. Tinio held regular communication with Aguinaldo until Dec. 28, since when he has heard noth- ing from him, and Tinio thinks Agui- naldo would find means to communicate with him if alive. Maj. March's information was that there were only half a dozen soldiers with Aguinaldo when he fled beyond the Bontoc wilderness, where the sav- ages are hostile to all strangers. Friends of Aguinaldo’s wife asserts that she ha$ heard nothing from him since they parted. She is in a delicate con- dition and nearly prostrated with worry. Therefore, she has not been informed of the death of her child and thinks it is with friends at Bacoor. Gen. Funston has discovered a rebel warehouse near Cabanutuan, province of New Egija, containing all the arch- ives of the Malolos government, Agui- naldo's correspondence up to the time of his flight and much valuable histori- cal matter. OQUARREL ENDS. Miners’ Wage Scale Settled for Piltsburg—Men Are Satisfiac. Remaining differences regarding the Pittsburg district coal mining wage scale were settled Thursday at a com- mittee meeting of representatives of the United Mine Workers and the big coal combines. The result is that from the beginning of the new scale year, April 1. most of the outside day men, in fact, all that are strictly outside day men, get the advance of 20 per cent. demand- ed by the miners’ leaders. The ad- vance goes to dumpers, trimmers, checkmen, slack haulers, greasers, coup- lers, car cleaners, who clear cars’ bot- toms for fresh loading, and car droppers- out and car droppers-in. Blacksmiths, carpenters, engineers, firemen and men of the class usually paid on a monthly scale will be advanced according to their ability and to bring them up to the standard of such craftsmen employed elsewhere by the Pittsburg Coal Com- pany, while the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company has already given these men, along with the regular outside day men, an advance of 25 cents a day. . The coal companies are bringing large numbers of new miners in to man their plants, so as to get a record pro- duction of coal, called for by tremen- dous orders that have never before been placed for Pittsburg coal. Two hundred foreigners were sent to the vicinity of Webster within the past few days and this started a report that the men were being brought in in anticipation of a strike. Miners from other districts are coming here, attracted by the higher Pittsburg district wage. Bank Robbers Busy. The First National bank of East Brady, Pa., was looted by burglars ear- ly Saturday morning, the safe being dynamited. The loss is estimated at $15,000. All day Saturday the country was scoured for the robbers and word was received Sunday that three men, Thomas. Carter, Michael Hagan and Patrick Hennesey had been captured at New Bethlehem, 21 miles away. They will be taken to East Brady for identi- fication. The bank was entered between 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock, Saturday morn- ing. The safe was used as a deposit vault by many business men. Their papers, all of the bank documents and the money, even to the pennies, were carried off. The robbers got more sil- ver than two men could carry. Nafional Finances. The monthly statement of the public debt shows that at the close of business April 30, 1900, the debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to $1,124,802,085, which is an increase of $12,545,727. This increase is due to the decrease in the cash on hand made necessary by the worth of bonds now being extended at 2 per cent. interest. The monthly comparative statement of the government receipts and expendi- tures show that during April the re- ceipts aggregated $45,039,326 and the ex- penditures $40,003,927, leaving a surplus for the month of $4,136,000. The receipts during the month show an increase of $3,500,000 as compared with April, 1809, and the expenditures a decrease of $25,000,000. Chio Bank Robbery. At noon Sunday the finding of a lot of pennies in an alley led to the dis- covery that the bank of the Stebbins Banking Company at Creston, Wayne county, Ohio, had been robbed. En- trance was gained by forcing an iron door at the rear windows. The door to the vault was blown from its fastenings, but the strong box which, it is said, holds $14,000, withstood the efforts of powder and drills. About $100 in cash, a lot of jewelry and valuable papers were taken from the safety deposit boxes. . Senatorial Candidate Killed. Oliver IL. Stewart, the Huntingdon county Republican candidate for State senator in the Huntingdon and Frank- lin district. and secretary of the Laird Malleable Iron Works, of Huntingdon, Pa., was instantly killed in the com- pany’s works Thursday afternoon by the bursting of an emery wheel, a piece of which penetrated his heart. He was the Huntingdon county Republican choice for State senator, the conference for the selection of which candidates is to meet at Harrisburg on the 28th instant. A Great Oil Combine. One of the largest oil combines in the West filed articles of incorporation at Cheyenne, Wyo., Tuesday, under the name of the Superior Oil Company, capital stock $10,500,000. It is a con- solidation of several companies operat- ing in Central Wyoming, in the vicin- ity of Douglas and Casper. The stock- holders and trustees are oil men and fi- nanciers from Pittsburg, Philadelphia and Birmingham, N. Y. Sympathy for America. The London Daily Telegraph, after alluding editorially to the generous sympathy and aid of Americans in con- nection with the Ottawa fire and com- menting at length upon the Scofield disaster, concludes as follows: “There will be deeper sympathy with America in this awful catastrophe than has been evoked by any event on the other side of the Atlantic since the loss of the Maine.” Indlan Vengeanc?. During a row at a dance near the Ponca Indian agency, Nebraska, Peter Birdhead, an Indian, was shot and kill- ed by a hali-bred named Laurier. The murderer gave himself up. The relatives of the murdered man held a consulta- tion and decided to kill Laurier. The report is that his body was horribly mutilated with an ax. Birdhead’s rela- tives have fled. Kansas Corn for India. The Kansas India relief committee has instructed Secretary Anderson to order the purchase of 20,000 bushels of corn in New York, to be loaded in a relief ship which sails next weeek for Bom- bay. Treasurer Coburn’s receipts to date are $10,272. heavy payments on account of present, FILIPINOS SURRENDER. Gen. Otis Says They Lost 1,721 During April, Besides Artillery, Rifles, Ammunition and Steres—American Losses Small. Gen. Otis Friday cabled from Manila as follows: April captures from enemy 30 pieces artillery, 1,209 rifles, considerable ammu- nition and large stores property. Dur- ing early portion of the month the ene- my was active in extreme northern and southern Luzon and some Viscayan isl- ands. Our reported loss for the month are 13 enlisted men killed, three officers and 24 enlisted men wounded. Rumored recent loss in Samar of 19 killed and number wounded not yet re- ported. This is due to small detach- ments scouting in mountains in the in- terior of the island. The enemy losses officially reported were 1,721 killed, wounded and captured. Leading Fili- pinos express confidence in the early pacification of the islands. They say the war has terminated. Leading insurgents are surrendering. Maj. Gen. Otis sailed Saturday for San Francisco on the transport Meade. Mazi Gen. MacArthur will succeed him in command of the Philippines, and Gen. Wheaton will succeed MacArthur as commander of the department of Soutfern Luzon. The insurgent archives discovered by Gen. Funston include papers implicating prominent foreign firms at. Manila in unlawful dealings. It is reported that evidence has been obtained that some of them furnished munitions of war to the rebels, and that the American authori- ties are in possession of a plan for at- tacking the American forces, written by Aguinaldo, in the Tagalog language, January 9, 1899, and translated into Spanish by Buencamino. No corre- spondence from the so-called anti-im- perialist party of the United States was found. GOOD FINANCIAL SHOWING. The Government Has Saved $6,664,456 By Refunding Bonds—National Bank Cir- culation Increasing. Representative Brosius. of Pennsyl- vania, chairman of the House committee on banking and currency made a state- ment that the refunding provisions of the new financial law are working out an achievement unparalleled in the his- tory of the world. He showed the fol- lowing figures of refunding from March 14, when the law went into operation, to May 1: Amount refunded, $260,020,750; saving in interest, $32,600,225: premium paid, $26,034,771; net saving, $6,604,454. The operation of legal tender redemp- fion exhibits a highly satisfactory con- dition of public confidence in our gov- ernment paper, and is a happy omen for the success of that branch of our mone- tary system in the future. The amount of United States notes redeemed in gold out of the reserve fund since the new law went into operation is $5,133,- 2 Applications have been approved for 244 new National banks, with a capital of $8,380,000. The total of applications on file for authority to organize National banks is 508 and the total of applications for the conversion of old banks into Na- tional banks 82. Mr. Brosius estimates $121,788858 as the amount of currency the National banks may issue in the near future. USED NITRO-GLYCERINE. A St. Louis Street Car Blown from the Tracks. Passengers Terrified. A car on the St. Louis and Suburban railway was blown from the track anc twisted sideways by an explosion of nitro-glycerine late Saturday night. Seven of the passengers were slightly injured by the flying glass, and broken timbers, which came up from below. Four were taken back to the city for treatment. There is a explosive was The which strike on the road. nitro-glycerine, distance. The car was filled with per- sons returning from the Dewey celebra- tion. It was raining hard at the time, and lightning flashed continuously across the car. Many women were among the passen- gers, and they screamed wildly. Every person was hurled from the seats, and fell pell-mell into the aisle. At first it was thought that a bolt of lightning had struck, but when the motorman and conductor, after an examination, an- nounced that the car had been blown up by strikers, there was more confu- sion, and the men prepared for an at- tack. This was the signal for more screams, and many of the passengers got off the car and braved the terrible downpour. No attack was made. Turkey in no Haste to Pay. A dispatch from Constantinople, Tur- key, says: The porte has not replied to the American note regarding the in- demnity claims. The ambassadors met yesterday and decided to reply to the porte’s note of April 29 regarding the increase of duties, as follows: “The embassies note the porte’s decla- ration that it does not intend to intro- duce any unilateral measures and will hasten to inform their governments of this. The ambassadors have decided to make their consent to an increase, con- ditional on the removal of the abuses in the matter of chemical analysis, the suppression of warehouse duties and the abolition of the stipulation whereby articles not specified in the tariffs may be interdicted, confiscated or destroyed. The ambassadors have decided to make the payment of indemnities to foreign- ers a separate question, and to deal therewith at a later date.” ihe Rs, Army at a Stands'ill. General A. W. Greely, chief of the signal service of the army, spoke of the United States army as a military or- ganization at the annual banquet of the Worcester, Mass... board of trade Wednesday He declared that the army was a political organization, and that it had not advanced during a period of 50 year i the system, which is now im- perfect, is to be improved in future vears it would be at the cost of tens of thousands of lives and millions in treas- ure.

[Copyright 1900.1 WasuiNcTox, D. In this discourse Dr. Talmage pleads for a hearty reception to all those who have done wrong and want to get back, while the unsympathetic and self-righteous are excoriated; text, Luke xv., 28, “And he was angry and would not go in.” Many times nave I been asked to preach a sermon about the elder brother of the parable. I received a letter from Canada saying, “Is the elder son of the parable so unsympathetic and so eold that he is not worthy of recognition?” The fact is that we ministers rursue the younger son. You ean hear the flappings of his rags in many a sermonic breeze and the cranching of the pods for which he was an unsuccess- ful contestant. I confess that it has been difficult for me to train the camera ob- seura upon the elder son of the parable. I could not get a negative for a photograph. There was not enough light in the gallery, or the chemicals were poor, or the sitter moved in the picture. But now I think I have him; not a side faca or a three-quar- ters or the mere bust, buat a full length portrait as he appears to me, The father in the parable of the prodigal had nothing to brag of in his two sons. The one was a rake and the other a churl. I find nothing admirable in the dissoluteness of the one, and I find nothing attractive in the acrid sobriety of the other. The one goes down over the larboard side, and the other goes down over the starboard side, but they both go down. From all the windows of tne old home- stead bursts the minstrelsy. The floor quakes with the feet of the rustics, whose dance is always vigorous and resounding. The neighbors have heard of the return of the younger son from his wanderings, and they have gathered together. The housgq is full of congratulators. I suppose the tables are loaded with luxuries; not only the one kind of meat mentioned, but its concomitants. “Clap!” go the cymbals, “Thram!’” go the harps. “Click!” go the chalices, up and down go the feet inside, while outside is a most sorry spectacle. The senior son stands at the corner of the house, a frigid phlegmatic. He had just come in from the fields in very substantial apparel. Seeing some wild exhilarations around the old mansion, he asks of a ser- vant passing by with a goatskin of wine on | his shoulder what all the fuss is about. One would have thought that, on hearing that his younger brother had got back, he | would have gone into the house and re- joiced and, if he were not conscientiously opposed to dancing, that he would have joined in the oriental sehottish. No. There he stands. His brow lowers; his face dark- ens; his lip curls with contempt; he stamps | the ground with indignation; he sees noth- ing at all to attriet. The odors of the feast coming out on the air do not sharpen his appetite; the lively music does not put any | spring into his step. He is a terrible pout; he criticises the expense, the injustice and | the morals of the entertainment. The father rushes out bareheaded and coaxes him to come in. He will not go in; he scolds the father; he goes into a pasquinade against the younger brother, and he make the most nncomely scene; he says, “Father, yon put ©» premium on vagaboondism. I staid at hom» and worked on the farm. You never made a party for me; you didn’t so mueh as kill a kid. That wouldn’t have cost half as much as a calf. Butthis scape- grace went off in fine clothes, and he comes back not fit to be seen, and whatea time you make over him! He breaks your heart, and you pay him for it. That calf, to which we have been giving extra feed during all these weeks, wouldn’t be so fat and sleek if I had known to what use you were going to put it! That vagabond deserves to be cowhided instead of banqueted. Veal is too good for him!” That evening, while the younger son sat telling his tather about his adventures and asking about what had occurred on the place since his departure, the senior brother goes to bed disgusted and slams the door after him. That senior brother still lives. You can see him any day of the week. At a meeting of minis- ters in Germany some one asked the ques- tion. “Who is that elder son?” and Krum- macher answered: “I know him; I saw him yesterdny.” And when they insisted upon knowing whom he meant he said: “Myself, | When I saw the account of the conversion of a most obnoxious man, I was irritated.” First, tbls senior brother of the text stands for the self congratulatory, self sat- istied, self worshipful man. With the same breath in which he vituperates against his younger brother he utters a panegyrie for | himself. The self righteous man of my text, like every other self righteous man, was full of faults, which he had all those years. He was dis- obedient, for when the father told him to | come in be staid out. He was a liar, for he said that the recreant son had devoured his father’s living when the father, so far from being reduced to penury, had a home- stead left, and instruments of musie, had | jewels,had a mansion and instead of being a pauper was a prince. This senior brother, with so many faults of his own, was merciless in his criticism of the younger brother. ‘he only perfect people that I have ever known were utterly obnoxious. I was never so badly cheated in my life as by a perfect man. He got so far up in his devotions that he was clear up above ail the rules of common honesty. Thess men that go about prowling among prayer | meetings and in places of business, telling how good they are—Iicok out for them; keep your hand on your pocketbook! 1 have noticed that just in proportion as a man gets good he gets humble. The deep Missiseippi does not make as much noise as the brawling mountain rivulet. There has been many a store that had more goods in the show window than inside on the shelves. This self-righteous man of the text stood at the corner of the house hugging himselt in admiration. We hear a great dealin our day about the higher life, Now, there are two kinds of higher-life men. The one fs admirable, and the other is repulsive. The one kind of higher-life man is very lenient in his criticism of others, does not bore prayer meetings to death with long harangues, does not talk a great deal about himself, but mueh about Christ and heaven, gets kindlier and more gentle and more useful until one day his soul spreads a-wing, and he flies away to eternal rest, and everybody mourns his departure. The other higher-life man goes around with a Bible conspicuously under his arm, goes from church to church, a sort of general evangelist, is a nuisance to bis own pastor when he is at home and a nuisance to other pastors when he is away from home, runs up to some man who is counting out a roll of bank bills or running up a difficult line of figures and asks him how his soul is, makes religion a dose of ipecacuanha; standing in a religious meeting making an address, he has patronizing way, as though ordinary Christians were clear away down below him, so he had to talk at the top of his voice in order to make them hear, but at the same time encouraging them to hope on that by climbing many | years they may after a while come up with- in sight of the place where he now stands. Itell you plainly that a roaring, roister- ing, bouncing sinner is not so repulsive to | me as that higher life malformation, The former may repent; the latter never gets over his pharisaism. The younger brother of the parable came back, but the senior prother stands outside entirely oblivious to his own delinquencies and defleits, pro- nouncing his own sulogium. I, how much easier it is to blame others than to blame ourselves. Adam blamed Eve, Eve plamed the serpent, the senior brother blamed the younger brother, and none of them blamed themselves. Again, the senior prother of my text stands for all those who are faithless about the reformation of the dissipated and the dissolute. In the very tones of his voice you can hear the fact that he has no faith that the reformation of the younger son is genuine. His entize manner seems to say: “That boy has come hack for more money. He got a third of the property. Now he has come back for another third. He will never be contented to stay on the farm. He will fall away. I would go In, too, and rejoice with the othersif I thought this thing was genuine, but it is a sham. That boy is a conflrmed inebriate and de- bauchee.,” Alas, my friends, for the in- credulity in the church of Christ in regard to the reclamation of the recreant! You say a man has been a strong drinker. T say, “Yes, but he has reformed,” On,” you say, with a lagubrious faza, “I hope you are not mistaken; I hope you are not mistaken.” Youn say, “Don’t re- joice too mueh over his conversion, for soon he will ba unconverted, I fear. Don’t make too big a party for that re- turned prodigal or strike the timbrel too loud, and if you kill a calf kill the one that Is on the commons and not the one that has been luxuriating in the paddock.” That is the reason why mors prodigals do not come home to their father’s house, It Is the rank infidelity in the church of God on this subject. There is not a house on the streets ot heaven that has not in it a prodigai that returned and staid home, There could be unrolled hefors you a scroll of 100,000 names—the names of prodizals who came back forever reformed.

And yet some of you | have not enough faith in their return! | You do not know how to shake hands | with a prodigal; you do not know how to | ray for him; you do not know how to | greet him. Hs waats to sail into the warm | gulf stream of Christian sympathy. You are the iceberz against which he strikes | and shivers, You say he has been a prod- | igal. I know it, but you are the sour, ua- | responsive, censorious, aatarnine, cranky | elder brother, and it you are going to heaven ome would think some pecpla would be tempted to go to perdition to get | away from you. Plenty of room for elegant sinners, for | sinners in velvet or satin aud lace, for sin- ners high salaried, for kid gloved and pat- | ent jeatherad sinners, for sinners fixed up by hairdresser, pomatumed and lavenderad and cologned and frizzled and crimped and “panged’’ sinners—plenty of room! Such we meet elegantly at the door ot our churches, and we invite them into the best seats with Chesterfleldian gallantries; weusher them into the house of God an put soft ottomans under their feet and put a gild edged prayer book in their hands and pass the contribution box before them with an air of apology, while they, the generous souls,take out the equisite porte- | monnaie and open it and with diamonded | Anger push down beyond the $10 gold- | pleces and delicately pick out as an ex- | pression of gratitude their offering to the | Lord—of one cent! For such sinners plenty | of room, plenty ot room! Again I remark that the senior brother of | my text stands for the spirit of envy and The senior brother thought that did to the returned brother was a wronz to him. He said, “1 have staid at home, and I ought to have had the ring, and I ought to have had the banquet, and I ought to have had the gar- lands.” | | jenlousy. 1 | Alas, for this spirit of envy and jealousy | | all the honor they coming down through the ages!

Religious jealousies. The Mohammedans praying for rain dur a drought; no rain coming. Tiren the Christians begin to pray for rain, and the rain comes. 'I'hen the | Mohammedans met together to account for this, and they resolved that God was so well pleased with their prayers he kept the drought on so as to keep them praying,but | that the Christians began to pray and the Lord was so disgusted with their prayers that He sent rain right away so He would | not hear any more of their supplications. Oh, this accursed spirit of envy and jeal- ousy! Let us stamp it out from all our hearts. A wrestler was so envious of Theozanes, the prince of wrestlers, that he could not | be consoled in any way, and after Tiiwog- enes died and a statue was lifted to him in a public place his envious antagonist went out every night and wrestled with the | statue until one night he threw it, and it fell on him and erushed him to death. Sc jealousy is not only absurd, but it is kiiling to the body, and itis killing to the soul. | How seldom it is you find one merchant | speaking well of a merchant in the same line of business. How seldom itis you hear a physician speaking well of a physician on | the same block. Oh, my friends, the wor.d is large enough for all of us! Let us rejoice at the success of others. The next best thing to owning a garden ourselves is to look over the fence | and admire the flowers. The next best thing to riding in fine equipage is to stand on the streets and ad- mire the prancing span. The next best thing to having a banquet given to our- selves is having a bauquet given to our prodigal brother that has come home to his father’s house. Ab, the face of this pouting elder son is put before us in order that we might better see the radiant and forgiving face of the Father. Contrasts nre mighty. The artist in sketching the fleld of Waterloo years after the battle put a dove in the mouth of the cannon. Raphael in oneot his cartoons beside the face of a wretch put the face of a happy and innocent child. And so the sour face of this irascible and disgusted elder brother is brought out in order that in the contrast we might better understand the forgiving and radiant face of God. That is the meaning of it—tkat God is ready to take back anybody that is sorry, to take him clear back, to take him back forever and forever and forever, to take him back with a loving hug, to put a kiss on his parched lip, a ring on his bloated hand, an easy shoe on his chafed foot, a garland on his bleeding temples and heaven in his soul. Oh, I fall flat on that mercy! Come, my brother, and let us get down into the dust, resolved never to rise until the Father’s forgiving hand shall lift us. Oh, what 8 God we have! doxologies. 8 -. Bring your Come, earth and heaven, and join in the worship. Cry aloud. Lift the palm branches, Do you not feel the Father’s arm around your neck?

Itismeetthat we should make merry and be glad, for this, thy brother, was dead aud is alive again. He was lost and is found. The Crusade in Brief. Health isthe workingman’s eapital.

The Armstrong Cork Company, of Pittsburg has booked an order for 480,~ cod pounds of cork to be furnished to the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company, oi St. Louis... It is said to be the largest order of the ad ever placed. The cork is to be cut and prepared for use in bottling pint and quart packages. The order is worth about $4%,0c0 at the Pittsburg factory, and delivery will cov= er a period of two years. This tremen- dous bulk of cork 11 cut upwards of 100,000,c00 bottle stoppers.
