Washington, Sept. 20.—So much that
• is depressing is said about the wicked-
eess of cities that it will cheer us to read
what Dr. Talmage says in this sermon
about their coming redemption. The
text is Zechariah viii., 5: "And the
streets of the city shall be full of boys
and girls playing in the streets -thereof."
Gliinpses a our cities redeemed! Now,
boys and girls who play in the streets
run such risks that multitudes of them
end in ruin. But in the coming thee
spolten of our cities will be so moral that
lads and lasses shall be as safe in the
publics thoroughfares as in the nursery.
Pulpit and printing press for the Inost
part in oar day are busy in discussing
the condition of the cities at this thee,
but would not it be healthfully encourag-
ing to all Christian workers, and to all
who are toiling to make the world bet-
ter, if we should for a little while look
forward to the time when our cities
shall be revolutionized by the gospel of
the Son of God, and all the darkness of
ein and trouble and crime and suffering
shall be gone arona the world?
Every man has a pride in the city of
his nativity or residence. if it be a city
distinguished for any dignity or prolvess.
'Caesar boasted of his native Rome, Vir-
gil of Mantua, Lyourgus of Sparta,
Demosthenes of Athens, Archimedes of
Syracuse and. Paul of Tarsus. I, should
.have suspicion of base -heartedness in a
men who had no espeolal interest in the
city of Ms birth or residence—no exbilar-
ntion at the evidence of its prosperity _nr
I its artistio embellishments, or its Intel-
lectual advaneement.
I have noticed that a man never likes
a city where he has not behaved well.
' People who bey° had a free ride in the
prison van never Mete tbe oity that fur-
nished the vehiole. Ween I find .Argos
and Modes and Smyrna trying to prove
• theinselves the birthplace of Homer, I
coeolude at once that Homer behaved
well. He liked. them and they liked him.
We must not war on lendable city pride,
or, with the idea of building ourselves
up at any time, try to pull others down.
Boston must continue to point to its
• Fanueil hall aud to its Common and to
its superior editcational advantages,
Philadelphia must continue to point to
its Indepdendence hall anti its mint and
its Girard (+allege. Washington must con-
tinue to point to its wondrous caiptoline
buildings. If I should 11nd a man coining
from any city, having no pride in thet
• city, that city havine*been the place of
his nativity or now being the place of
his residence, I would feel like asking:
"What mean thing have you done there?
What outrageous thing have you been
gtalty of that you do not like the place?"
I think we ought—and I take it for
, granted you are interested in this great
woek of evangelizing the cities and
saving the world—we ought to toil
' with the sunlight in our faces. We are
• not fighting in a miserable Bull Run of
• . defeat. We are on the way to final
• Victory. We aro not following the rider
on the black horse, leading us down to
death and darkness and doom, but the
rider on the whit home, with the moon
nnder hie feet and the stars of heaven
for his tiara. Hail, Conqueror, hall!
• I know there are sorrows, and there
are sins, and there are sufferings all
, around about us, but as in some bitter,
cold winter day, when we are thrashing
. our arms around us to keep our thumbs
' from freezing, we think of the warm
spring day that will after awhile come,
or in the dark winter night WO look up
and see the northern lights, the win-
dows of beaven illuminated by some
great victory, just 50 we look up from
the night of suffering and sorrow and
wretchedness in our cities, and we see
a light streaming through from the other
side, and we know we are on the way to
morning—more than that, on the way to
"a morning withont clouds."
I want you to understand, all you who
are tailing for Christ, that the castles of
sin are all going to be captured. The
victory for Christ in them great towns
is going to be so complete that not a
man on earth or an angel in heaven or a
devil in hell will dispute it. How do I
• know? I know just as certainly as God
lives and that this is holy truth. The old
Bible is full of it. If the nation is to be
saved, of course all the cities are to be
saved. It makes a great difference with
• you and with me whether we are toiling
• on toward defeat or toiling on toward a
victory.
Now, in this munieipal elevation of
which 1 epeak, I bar) to renuirk there
•will be greater financial prosperity than
• our cities have ever seen. Some people
1 seem to have a morbid idea of the mil-
lennium, and they think when the better
• thee comes to our cities and the world
people will give their time up to psalm
singing and the relating of their religi-
ous experience, and as all sooial life will
be purified there will be no hilarity, and
as all business will be purified there
will be no enterprise. There is no ground
for such an absurd anticipation. In the
time of which I speak vshere now one
fortune is made there will be a hundred
fortanes made. We all know business
prosperity depends upon confidence be-
tween man and man. Now, when that
4 time comes of which I speak, and when
e• all double dealing, all clisbonesta and
all fraud are gone out of commensial cir-
• cles, thorough confidence wile be estab-
lished, and there will bp better business
• done, and larger fortunes gathered, and
mightier suoesses achieved.
The great businesp disasters of this
country have come from the work of
godless speculators and infatnous stock
• gamblers. The groat foe to business is
crime, When the right shall have hurled
back the wrong, and shall have purl -
fled theniornmerolal code, and shall have
thundered down frauclulenb establish-
ments,. and shall have put into the hands
• of honest men the keys • of business,
• blessed time for the bargain makees! I
. am not talking an abstraclion. I am not
making a guess. I am telling you God's
•, eternal truth.
• In that day of which I speak taxes
will be a mere nothing. Now our busi-
ness men are taxed for everything. City
taxes, bounty taxes, state balms, United
States taxes, stain') taxes, license taxes,
manufacturing taxes—taxes,Mees, taxes!
Our business men have to make a small
fortune every year to pay their taxes.
,What fastens on out great industries
,this awful load? Crime, individual and
official. We have to pay the board of the
,villains who are incaecerated in our
prisons We We have to take 'care of the
orphans of those who plunged into their
graves through sensual Indulgences. We
have to support the municipal govern-
ments, which are vast and expensive
• just in proportion as the criminal pro-
elivities are vast and tremendous. Who
support the almshouses and pollee sta-
aed all the meethinery of 311111310i -
pal governineut? The taxpayers.
But in the glorious time of which I
speak grievous taxation will all have
ceased. There will be no need of sup
porting criminals. -Virtue will hay
tiaten tbe plaoe of vice. There will • b
no orphan asylums, for parents will b
able to leave a competency to their chil
dram There Will be no voting of larg
sums of money for municipal Improve
meat, which money, before it gets t
the improvements, drops into the poet:
ets of those wbo voted it. No oyer all
terminer kept up at vast expense to th
people, No ernpeaeling of juries to ts
theft and arson and murder and slande
and blackmail. Better factories. Grande
architecture. • Finer equipage. Larger for
tunes. Richer opulence. Better churches
In that better time, also coming t
those cities, Christ's • °hurdles will b
more numerous, and they will be large
and they will be more devoted to th
gospel of Jesus Christ, and they will ao
eomplish greater • influences for good
Now, it is often the case that ithurche
are envious of each other, and even min
isters of Christ sometimes forget th
bond of brotherhood. But in the time o
which I speak, while there will be jus
as many differences of opinion as ther
are now, there will be no acerbity, n
hypercritioism, rio exclusiveness. '
In our great °ides the churches are no
to -day large enough to hold more than
fourth of the population. The chnrolie
• that are •built—comparatively few o
them are fully nommieci. The average at
tendance in the chanties of the Unite
States to -day is not 400. Now, in th
glorious time of which I speak there ar
• going to be vast ceurches, and they ar
going to be all thronged with worship
ers. Oh, what rousing • songs they wit
• sing! Oh, what earnest sermoes the
will Preach! Oh, what fervent prayer
they will offer! Now, in your time, wha
is called a fashionable church is a pliec
wbere a few people baying attende
very carefullyeto their toilet, come an
sit down—they do not want to b
• crowded they like a whole seat to them
selves—and then, if they have any tins
left from thinking of their etore, and
front examining the style of the hat in
front of them, they sit and listen to a
sermon warranted to hit no man's sins,
and listen to mush+ whioh is rendered by
a choir warranted to sing tunes that no-
body knows. And then after an hour
and a half of indolent yawnIng they go
home refreshed. Every man feels better
after he has had a sleep.
In many of the churehes of Christ in
our day the Innate 18 simply a mockery.
I bave not a cultivated ear, nor a culti-
vated voice, yet no rnan can do my
singing for me. I have nothing to say
against artistic IntISIO. `The V or $5 I
pay to hear nay of the great queens of
song is a good investment. But when
the people assemble he religious convoca-
tion, and the hymn is read, nod the
angels of God step from their throne to
catch the innsic on their wings, do not
let us drive them away by our indiffer-
ence I have preached ie churches where
vast stuns of money wore employed to
keep up the nausio, and it was.as exqui-
site as any beard on earth, but I theught
at the sante time that for all matters
practical I would prefer the hearty, out -
breaking song of a backwoods Methodist
camp ineeting.
Let one of these starveling fancy songs
sung in church get up before the throne
of God—how would it seem standing amid
the great doxologies of the redeemed?
Let the finest operatic air that ever went
up from the church of Christ get intala
hours the start; it will be caught and
Passed by the Hosanna of the Sabbath
school cbildren. I know a church where
the choir did all the singing, save one
Christiun man, who, through "persever-
ance of the saints," went right on. and
afterward a committee was appointed to
wait on him and ask him if he would
not please stop singing, as he bothered
the choir.
and. salvation. This is to emparadise the
nations. .Archimedes destroyed a fleet of
ships corning up the harbor, You know
bow he did it. He lifted a great sunglaele,
history tells us, .and when the fleet of
ships came up the harbor of Syracuse he
brought to bear tale surgless, aria iie
focused the sun's rays upon those ships.
Now the sails are wings of fire., the
masts fall, the vessels sink. Oh, my
friends, by the suegless of the gospel
converging the rays of the sun of rigbt-
e eonsness upon the sins, theevickedness of
8 the world we will make them blaze and
e expire!
In that day of which I speak, do you
o believe there will be any midnight car-
- ousel? Will there be any kioking off
° from the marble steps of shivering
a mendicants? Will them be any un-
" washed, unfed, uncombed children? Will
e there be any blasphemers in the streets?
Y Will there be any inebriates staggering

curse, stoned by the boys thatfollovr her,
Will be the reformers and pbilanthropists,
•
and the Christian men and the honest
S merchants of our cities.
Then what municipal governments,
too, we shall bave in all the cities.
• Some cities are worse teen others, but
t in many of our cities you just evalk
e down by the city halls and look in at
some of the rooms occupied by politicians
and see to what a sensual, loathsome,
t ignorant, besotted crew city politics is
a often abandoned. Or they stand around
a the city hall picking their teeth, waiting
for some emoluments of crumbs to fall
a to their feet, waiting all day long and
u waiting all nightlong.
e Who are those wretched evomen taken
• up for drunkenness and carried up to the
e courts and put in prison of course?
What will you do with the grogshops
• that make them drink? Nothing. Who
• are those prisoners in jail? One of them
stole a pair of shoes. That boy stole a
dollar. This girl snatched a purse. All
• of them crimes damaging society less $3
• than $"20 or 0. But what will you do
with the gerabler who last night robbed
the young men of $1,000? Nothing.'
What shell be done wtili that one who
e breaks through and destroys the purity
of a Christian botne, arid, with an adroit-
ness and perfidy that beat the strategy
of hell, flings a shrinking, shrieking soul
iuto ruin? Nothing. What will you do
with those who Sleeved that young man,
getting him m
to purloin largo sus of
money from his employer—the young
man who came to an officer of ray church
and told the story and frantically asked
what he sbould do? Nothing.
Ah, we do well to punish small
crimes, but I have sonatimes thought it
would be better in some of our cities
if the officials would only turn out from
the jails the petty criminals, the little
offenders, $10 desperadoes, and put in
their place:e some of the monsters of in-
iquity who drive their roan span through
the streets so swiftly that honest men
have to leap to get out of the way of be-
ing run over. Oh, the damnable schemes
that professed Christian men will some-
timee engage in until God puts the fin-
ger of his retribution into the collar of
their robe of hypocrisy and rips it clear
to the bottom! Brit all these wrongs will
be righted. I expect to live to see the
day. I think I hear in thedistance the
rumblings of the King's chariot. Not
always in the minority is the Churoh of
God going to be or are goon men going
to be. The streets are going to belilled
with regenerated populations. Three
hundred and sixty hells rang in Moscow
when ono prince was married, but when
righteousness and notice kiss each other
In all the earth, ten thousand times ten
thousand bells shall strike the jubilee.
Poverty enriched. Hunger fed. Crime
banished. Ignorance enlightened. All the
cities saved. Is not this a cause worth
working in?
Oh, yen think sometimes it does not
amount to much! You toil on in your
different spheres, sometimes with great
discouragement. People have no faith
and say: "It doee not arnount to any.
thing. You might as well quit that."
Why, when Moses stretched his hand
over the Red sea it did not seem to
mean anything especially. People came
out, I suppose, and said, "Aha!" Seine
of them found out what he wanted to
do. He wanted, the sea parted. It did
not anaount to anything, this stretching
out of his hand over the sea. But after
awhile the wind blew all night frone the
east, and the waters were gathered into
a glittering palisade on either side and
the billows reared as God pulled baek
their crystal bits. Wheel into line, 0
Israel! March! March! Pearls crashed
under feet. Flying spray gathers into
rainbow archtof victory for the oonquerors
to march under. Shouts of hosts on the
beach answering the shout of hosts amid
sea. And when the last line of Israelites
reach the beach the cymbals clap, and
the shields clang, and the waters rush
over the pursuers, and the swift fingered
winds on the white keys of the foam
play the grand march of Israel delivered
and the awful dirge of Egyptian over•
throw.
So you and I go forth, and all the peo-
ple of God go forth, and they stretch
forth their hand over the sea, the boil-
ing sea of crime and sin and wretched-
ness. "It doesn't amount to anything,"
people say. Doesn't it? Gbd's winds of
help will after awhile begin to blow. A
path will be cleared for the army of
Christian philanthropists. The path will
be lined with the treasures of Christian
beneficence, and we shall be greeted to
the other beach by the clapping of all
heaven's cYmbals, while those who pur-
sued us and derided us and tried to de-
stroy us will go down under the sea, and
all that will be left of them will be oast
high and dry upon the beach, the splint-
ered wheel of a chariot, or thrust out
from the foam. the breathless nostril of
a riderless oharger.
Let those refuse to sing
Who never knew our God,
But children of the heavenly Ring
Should speak their joys abroad.
"Praise ye the Lord. Let everything
with breath praise the Lord." in the
glorious time coming in our cities and
in the world hosanna will meet hosanna
and halleluiah,
In that tine also of which I speak all
the haunts of iniquity and crime and
squalor will be cleansed and will be illu-
minated. How is it to be done? You say
perhaps by one influence. Perhaps I say
by another. I will tell you what is my
idea, and I know I am right in it. The
gospel of the Son of God is tbe only
agenoy that will ever accomplish this.
A gentleman in England had a theory
that if the natural forces of wind and
tide and sunshine and wave were right-
ly applied and rightly developed it would
make this whole earuh a paradise, In a
hook ot great genius and which rushed
front edition to edition, he said: "Fellow
men, I promise to show the means of cre-
ating a paradise within ten years where
eyetything desirable for human life may
be had by every man in superabundance
without labor and without 'pay; where
the whole face of nature shall be changed
into the most beautiful farms and num
amy live in the meet magnificent pal-
aces, in all imaginable refinements of
luxury and in the most tielightfill gar-
dens; where he may accomplish withont
labor in one year snore than bitherto
eueld be dens in thousands of years.
e rein the houses to be built will be
afforded the mnst oulturect views that
can be fancied. Front the galleries, from
elm roofs and from the turrets may he
teen gardens as far as the eye can see
tall of fruits and flowers, arranged in
the most beautiful orate with walks,
cello/amities, aqueducts, canals, ponds,
plains, amphitheaters, terraces, foun-
mins, sonlptuted works, pavilions, gon-
dolas, places of popular amusement to
hire the eye and fancy, all this can be
done by urging the water, the wind and
the sunshine to their full development."
He goes on and gives plates at the
machinery by which this work is to be
done, and he says he only needs at the
start a company in which the sheres
shall he $20 each, and $100,000 or $200,-
000 shall be raised just to make a speci-
men community, and then, this being
fornaed, the world will see its practice-
bility, and very soon $2,000,000 or 0,-
000,000 can be obtained, and in ten years
the whole earth will be emparadised,
The plan is not so preposterous as some
I bave heard of. But I will take no
stook in that company. I do not believe
that lb will ever be (bine .in that way,
by any mechanical force or bt'earte ma -
(thine* that the human mind can put
into play. It is to be (tone by the gospel
°tattle Son of God—the omnipotent ma-
chinery of love and grace and pardon
The Power of the Gospel.
The power of the Gospel is writ plain
in all great moral eeterprises. Its virtues
have been tried In every department of
badiviclual and social life. We know what
it is capable of doing because we know
what it has clime. We know what It has
done for the upliftbag of the masses
ieto a true liberty and brotherhood. We
know what it has done for the elevation
of woman, taking her from bondage and
from the seraglio and, through her,
teaching the whole world the true ideals
of womenhood and wifehood and mother -
hoed. We know how it affects social, in:
dust -alai and civil life, In all these direc-
tions its power has been tried; and we
army profit now by experience and ob-
servation of the past.

EIGHTH PARLIAMENT
DEBATE ON THE FAST ATLANTIC
SERVICE.
The Delay Explained—Tenders Are Not
specifie—Argrunents ,ttor and Against
the $7eo,o00 subsidy.
TH (IRS DA • Y.
Upon the motion to go into Commit-
tee of Simply, Sir Charles Tupper called
• attention to the statement made by Mr.
,Doleell last night hostile to a twenty -knot
Atlanta+ steamship service and in favor
of an eighteen -knot serviee. The Minis-
ter of Trade and Commerce, Sir Charles
said, lind told the House that this ques-
tion was receiving the careful considera-
tion of the Government, and it had also
been stated by Sir Richard Cartwright
that none sae the tenders received were
exactly formal. He thought that Parlia-
ment was entitled to have the earliest in-
formation of tho decision of the Govern-
ment upon this question. Sir Charles
related the circumstances under which
the Imperial Government bad been in-
duced to add to the subsidy offered by
the Dominion of Canada. Inoideiatally
Sir Charles mentioned what he had done
to produce the (Mange in public opinion
In the mother country. When Sir John
Colornb had taken an attitude of hos-
tility to the project, Mr. Dobell had
answered lam and had defended the
scbonae favored by the Government. The
fast Athletic+ service conneeting with the
Canadian Paola° would make the,route
throngh Canada the highway of nations.
Mr. Leerier said the whole question of
a 40 Atlatitio service is under consider-
ation, and it has to be considered very
carefully. Sir Charles Tupper recalls to
the attention of the House that last
session, in the position I then occupied,
I thought it to be my duty to offer to
the Government then every faellity for
Passing the bill which enabled the Gov-
ernment to ask for tenders for this serv-
ice. I had an interest in that matter not
only as a Canadian, but an especial in-
terest in that I represent the city of
Quebec, tvhich has a direct interest in
that service. The present arrangements
which exist in regard to the trade of the
St. Lawrence are setisfactory to nobody.
When WO came to open the tenders
which were received by the late Goveria-
ment in response to notices published
in the newspapers, we found ,that the
late Government had provided for a
passenger service hut net far a freight
service, Tbe specifications contained a
special provision that the boats to be
subsidized provide the best and latest
provision for cold storage, but in all the
tenders received not a word is to be
found as to cold storage. The people ex-
pect when we ask parliament to vote
the money that WO shall provide for a
service that will develop not only passen-
ger trade but freight tradeas well;
that is the reason .why uhe Government
thought it advisable to go slowly in this
matter.
Mr, Foeter said that it was impossible
to get both large freight capacity along
with fast passenger service. A choice had
to be inade between the two. It was
right for the Prime Minister to investi-
gate and see whether he could increase
the freight tonnage. But Mr. Foster
expressed the belief that he would find
that to increase the freight capacity was
to largely increase the tonnage of the
ships, their cost and the cost of running
them. Besides, fast freight steamers fol-
low naturally a fast passenger line, and
It would be peculiarly fortueate in this
respect if the Aliens should get the con-
tract for the passenger line because they
have large freight traffic interests.
Mr. Charlton said that the policy fore-
shadowed by Mr. Dobell wee the policy
that ought to be adopted. He declared
thnt he would not dare to advocate a
$750,000subvention to a fast Atlantic
service or to edvocate a hire*s grant to-
wards a Pacific cable and faee his con-
stituents again. There was not a mem-
ber from Ontario who could favor the
steamship or cable subvention and receive
the approval of his eonstituents. He
warned the Government agaiust being
guilty of that act of folly which they
tvotild be guilty of if they granted these
s(1 liven ti ens.
:Sir. Rogers (Patron) declared his op-
position to the expenditure of $750,000
a year for a fast lane. The Patron Order
and the farmers of Canada were opposed
to the scheme, and be only spokebecause
he believed the farmers did not want to
have any additional obligations incurred
by the country. For the next few years
they wanted the exenditures kept down.
Later Canada might latineth out into
some such scheme.
elcielialen said he was walling
to shpport a scheme which could be ob-
tained at a reasonable cost, but he would
not support, and he did not believe the
people of Canada would support, a twen-
ty -knot service at a cost of $750,000 a
year. But he had full confidence lit the
prudence and sagacity of the Government.
Mr. McMullen, as a farmer well ac-
quainted with the feeling ie the Prov-
ince et Ontario, declared against the
project to establish a fast Atlantic serv-
ice. What the farmers wanted was a
service that would give them cheap
freights across the Atlantic.
FRIDAY.
'Upon the Intercolonial vote of $211,-
500, Mr. McMullen called attention to
the fact that, according, to a reply given
by the Minister ot Railways to a ques-
tion int by lam, men were employed to
the number of 334 per mile. This would
mean about laiat men to every ten miles,
There was not a road in Canada that
was so overmanned. His hoped that, re-
clections similar to those which had
taken plaoe in the Works Department
would be made upon the Intercolonial
Railway.
Ain Blair stated, in response to ques
tions by the Opposition, that three labov-
ing men had been dismissed antl that
their places had been filled, Mr. Blair,
in stating the course that he would pur-
sue, said that he proposed to draw a dis-
tinction between permanent officials awl
those who were simply employed as day -
laborers, He weld not do otherwise. It
would be utterly 'impassible foe hina to
administer bis department with its 5,000
employes and adopt any other comae.
He luta come to the conclusion that if
any member of the Haase whose advice
the Government °mad 'safely anoept, or
any gentleman who was a candidate in
the onentry and was defeated, informed
lain that men employed in a temporary
ompacita had taken an active part in an
election, he worild receive the statement
thus ntade and he world permit his °fac-
ials to allow changes to be made.
Sir Charles Tupper and Sir Hibbert
Tepper and Mr. Quinn characterized it
as au outrageous principle to lay down
that, while the highly -salaried ofticial
will be treated with fairnees, the poor the poet Burns' enthusiasts by revealing

of Conservative control, bad become a

ard Cartwright continued the discussion.

The Times says that there is no doubt
that the extradition treaty with France
would be retroepective, and could be
made to cover the Phamix Park mar -
dors, for whieh there is a fair chance that
• extradition wonicl be granted, but the
Times expresses doubt whether the
treaty would cover the leaso of a culprit
in a fresh dynamite conspiracy.
Tho Chroeiole quotes aa well-in-
formed Irish corresponaent," who de-
clares that Tynan Is not the genuine
"No. 1," but only a braggart who posed
euch. "He has been in London," de -
clam the Chronicle, "within a year.
Why' was lie not arrested then? It is
quite unlikely that the Foreign Office
will press very hard for his extradition
as the prosecution he wnuld have might
lead to very embarrassing disclosures."
FOUGHT FOR FRA.NC.E,
The Ceroniele'e Paris correspondeni
says: "The fact that Tynan fought
against Germany in 1870 is likely to
weigh in bis favor with the French au-
thorities,"
The Graphic says it has learned that
the real earns of Edward Bell, the Amer-
ican arrested at Gla-gow for complicity
in the dynamite conspiracy, is ivory.
The police regard hina as a dupe of Ty-
nan and others.
The Standard's Paris correspondent
claims to be able to state that the Freneh
teoverument has received no application
from England for the extradition of
Tynan. The correspondent also reports
that Le Temps claims to know that the
plots are Fenian, and were in no way
aimed against the Czar.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
News says Tynan was allowed to pose
before the prosecutor as a high -smiled
patriot, innocent of the Phcenix Park
• murders. There was an evident desire to
make him out a mistaken patriot. As
Poland, however, is in the same case to
French eyes as Ireland, it may not do to
harp too innoli upon the patriotic chord
on the eve of the Czar's visit.
DRAMA,TIC, TERRIBLE.
The Daily Telegraph says: England
learns to -day hoev appalling has been the
&Inger from which elle has been rescued.
That there should have been a great dy-
namite conspiracy plotted in secret and
silence by men who are enemies of the
human race, that just at the moment
when their plans were ripe the police
should have surprised and erreeted the
ringlenders, and that one of the Men,
the chief of the band, should be a (vim-
inal wanted for the lasb fourteen years,
all these facts are elements in a story at
once vivid, dramatic and terrible. There
IS ne longer any doubt, apparently, that
the conspirators intended to blow up
Balmoral Palace when the Queen, Czar
and other royal personages were there.
RIDICULES THE STORY.
Paris, Sept. 19.—The Frenob public
press systematically ridicule the 'whole
story of the existence of a dynamite con-
spiracy, which, they declare, is an Eng-
lish political islet: intended to interfere
with the proposed visit to France of the
Czar.
Le Soir announces that none will be
allowed to see Tynan or communicate
with him without having first secured
the consent of the GoVernment. It is
learned upon creditable authority that
the French Cabinet gives so little cred.
ence to tbe English police officials' story
of a dynamite conspiracy that it will
probably refuse to grant the request for
Tynan's extradition.

Little Things That Add Much to the Gene.
ral Appearance,
A lady never appears In soiled gar
-
mantra and pays the strictest sort of at-
tention to the small adjuects of her toil-
ette, manaely, her shoes, gloves, neck
lingerie and headgear. Her gown may
be of extreme plainness, but it vvill be of
good material, it will be well ont, and
perfectly suited to her in every detail.
.Fler shoes will be of tbe trimmest build,
fitting her to a Tt not cramping, her in
the least, nor so loom as to be sloven'''.
They will always be the glossiest of the
glossy, and the blackest of the bletek,
unless they happen to be russet, and if
they are you can see your face in them.
Her gloves are a perfect marvel of neat-
ness, and fit as easily as does ber boot;
there is never the vestige of soil on them,
every button is in place, and all the fin-
gers well drawn on, so there are no
provoking ends at the tips, staring at
one, telling of a hurried toilette.
The neck rigging follows the latest fad
in that line, is always made up of the
best material, well roade, and daintily
worn. It rnay be no retire than a billowy
ruch of black chiffon or tulle, but it is
so full and fluffy that one would prefer
it to a more expensive arena°.
Her hats are the refinement of' good
style and are always becoming, Just at
present small toques obtain largely, as
they always do in the "off" season.
Sometimes they are made up of bright
yellow straw heavy with black plumes
and big jet ornaments; sometim es they
are all black, a soft mass of billowy tulle,
In which are tuoked clusters of purple
violets.
The day far roses has passed, and
surely everyone is glad, tor the majority
of hats have became such a tawdry mass
of faded roses tliat one wishes the flower
would never be produced in cheap ma-
terials again.
The plain skirt is certainly on the
wane, although most women are loth to
see it go; one can be sure of never look-
ing the dowdy in a plain skirt, but the
same cannot be said of the decorated
affair, for not all modistes know wilere
to stop when trimming a sairt—most of
the trimming takes the forne of panels
either plain or lace covered.
The term panel suggests straiglit lines,
and rather uncouth cutting up of the
skirt to admit of the insertion of these
straight bands; but there are panels and
panels. The most popular form is in the
shape of small fans of accordion pleated
material set in at regular intervals along
the foot of a skirt, reaching to the knees.
These give the skirt an unusual waltla
and flare, so that it is out ranch nar-
rower than if it is to be untrimmed.
This bouffant foot -decoration evill not
admit of being worn by a short figure;
here the long, straight side panels obtain
strongly and are far more lamming.
When actual panels are not set in, they
are simulated by bands of braid, velvet,
or any sort of narrow edgings laid on in
rows. Sometimes a broad rever is laid,
back on the skirt and trimmed. with but-
tons; in this case they spread widely at
the foot and graduate to a poinu at the
waist.
A fancy for decorating the skirt seams
shows itself occasionally, and bag the
effect of creatine,e a dressy skirt from a
plain one. Pipings of velvet or satin are
mostly employed in this rammer, the
same idea being carried out in the bodice
and sleeves.
The Housewife.
The good wife is the most invaluable
person to be found on earth. Of what-
ever station she may be, there is ea
woman's work she cannot, do. As a
houseleeeper she is always active, but
without bustle or fuss. She holds her
domestic team in hand and drives thena
steadily along the highway of life.
Her eyes are everywhere, and nothing
escapes them. The spiders ill thecorners.
the dust on the ledges, the dull surface
of the glass, the powdery look of the
carpet—she sees it all, and her servants
soon begin to understand that trying to
hoodwink her is labor in vain, and that
they had better do their work with thor-
oughness if they want peace in their lives
or length of dive in the lady's service.
She is an admirable cook and can train
her youeig servants as well as any in-
stitution of them all. She is great in
invalid cookery, and when her beioved
ars ill trusts their food to no one else.
She prepares all with her own bande;
and then she knows what she is abOut,
and how both material and cooking are
as perfect as human honesty and skill
can make Ocala.
