Dr. Guusaulus delivered bis Mrmoa. He said "With the echo of two words of that hymn His own ringing in your ears, I want to talk to 'you to-night on Paul's epistl4o the Romans. Paul, the sIsts of the Lord Jesus Christ! "When 1 was in London last summer I bunted no the places where men bare worked for independence. I saw Sir Walter Baleigh's cell.

High in the tower was the crown-room where the Jewels of the British rulers are kept There was a msssive crown of gold beaTily incrusted with Jewels, the weight of which would crush a man's skull; near the crown was a wreath of diamond flowers and the scepter of the king. That room awakened no such feeling as had been lighted when I vis ited the room where Raleigh wrote his 'His tory of the James bad imprisoned Raleigh at the wish of Spain and James wished to sere the crown jewels. "I caw the place where Bunyan wrote the 'Pilgrim's and where Sidney laughed at royalty. Suppose I hfiu seen the place where this letter was written. It would hsT been 1,800 years sgo and there I should hare seen a withered arm, heavily shackled, writing the letter from Paul, the slave of the Lord Jeeqs Christ.

The writer was the most independent man alive; he was a man of liberty and had all the independence that be. longed to the throne of the Lord Jesus. picture! It was the Borne of Kero. "Give my love to elL' said another epistle, 'especially to the bouse of Csssar. What was meant by the house of Caesar? It meant the slaves; those who worked in the kitchen and stables.

What folly to send this love, you exclaim How ridiculous that the Kingdom of Jesus Christ should be made up of kitchen servants snd stablemen, the slaves of Kero. Psul knows that Borne is crumbling. He knows that a new power has come into the world to rule it, and that the empires are tottering; it is the birth of Christianity. Those who are not saved need Jesus Christ. Paul knew that those who were saved were bondsmen, slaves hence Paul, the slave of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends his love to the sisvee of Nero's house.

Last night a child was born in Chicago a lave to sin snd to its animal passions. Will that child ever belong to the same master as does Paul? One of the clearest remarks ever made on slavery is 'those chains which are bepviest are those we like the Society places most of our chains upon us. It takes courage to face sneer, a brute can sea a sword. It takes more courage to face smiles than to face an army of swords. Where is the pride snd courage to found to faea these? Ton think Paul was not proud? I never read such proud letters in my life as those of Psul, the sieve.

His pride wss the kingdom of God. He was proud that he was a Pharisee, proud that be was a Roman, proud to be a Jew, proud of his intellect and power over men proud to be Paul, the slave of the Lord Jesus Christ. Psul used the word sieve with all that irony which characterises his letters; he changed its mresing by bis irony. "There is no success in life without slsvery. fdnon is a slave to the laws of electricity, and so it is with every successful person, they are sisvee to the laws which govern their un-' dertskings.

"Panl writes a declaration of mderjendenee. A s'sts of Borne? Not of other neoole? Kol Of Phsriseeiam? Nol slsve of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ is ready to-night to give you each a declaration of independence signed with His blood. Do come and take it before it is too late 1 Be free be independent be mood: take that declaration of independence, and be like Psul. tbe slave ot ue Jesus canst.

Do this, and the most delightful, glorious slavery in tbe world is yours, because you are the slave of tbe Lord Jesus." DR. CAM FIELD 8 SERMON. The Rev. Dr. A.

J. Can lie id preached on The' Science of Human Nature," yesterday morning at St. Paul's Universalis Church, taking the following text Know re that they which ran in a race ran all, bat oae reeeiveth the prisef Bo ran that ye mar obtain. And every man that striveth for mastery Is temperate in all thisss. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible or perishable crown: bat we are an incorruptible.

Corinthian; 24-23. He said, in substance: This was. called a i acientiflo age, an age of cisnces.and science means accurate, classified knowledge. ao it was the boast of the time that in every department of human investigation facts bad been accumulated and arranged and system atised in such a way that they had come to be the seed thoughts and stepping-stones to further indefinite knowledge. There was a possibility of one science that bad not yet received much attention, that was what might be called the science of human nature.

Man knew less about himself than almost anything else. The science of medicine had progressed but slowly, because it dealt with the vital things of life, and it was difficult to experiment. So the movements of tbe mind and the methods of thought were lees under- stood by thinkers. Some approach bad been made to tbe science of human nature. Buckle, la his History of Civilisation," undertook to show that, if one consulted the history of the world, one could, under given conditions, predict what people would do in any age of tbe world, and that reading the events ot men that occurred sges ago, where facts failed, be could easily supply thsm by bis knowledge of human nature.

The curious array of facts common life presented in his famous works snow that human nature has very iitue liberty about it. Herbert Spencer, later on, took these facts and formulated a remarkable synthesis, show-' ins that human nature can be held under i microscope and studied ss insects are, or behind a telescope ss are tbe planets, and that there is no more liberty in tbe life of man I than in that of any other snimaL Tbe speaker then referred to the wonderful change in this country in the pest 100 years, in that area bounded by the Great Lakes snd the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, a change due to a new experiment in human society. It shows the wonderful phenomenon of the building of a new race of people, of a commingling of all races, the formation and evo- lotion of a new character in the world's history most startling emigration, the most long continued and numerous, that man has ver experienced since his origin on earth. There have been many speculations as to what the final American character would ootue to be in all its departments and relations to other races snd the ancient history of man. There has been a New England character, a Southern character, and almost a New York character, but the character will probably be called the Western American character.

On these great prairies, in these vast spaces man is working out his experiment of civil liberty -snd the development of alibis faculties, snd laying the foundations of an empire that will be known all over the world as the greatest of nations. The- characteristics -of this dominant Western- or Chicago character are thoss of the conservative old nglisb, Scotch, or north of Ireland gentleman who, having lived for forty years amid the functions of Western life, still carries London, or Belfast in every step of bis obstinate toot. There is also the a) sties I German philosopher, the decayed French aristocrat, the unreconstructed Southern fire-eater, the slow, old-fashioned Pennsylvania farmer and his wife, the tidy New England housekeeper, and the minister from the East who ends every sermon by picturing Boston society as a type of the kingdom of heaven a homogeneous mass, -j -t The advanced as a positive state ment that the great colonising races or peoples of our times-of modern Cfe are the Germanic, the British and their American descendants on the AUsntie sea-board. This race is far the broadest snd most versa tils of any now existing, and they are so tar con servative that they can bold good empires in the old world and send out offshoots to make a new one.

Several hundred peoplsvprinei- pally members of the church, assembled to beer General LiK.

Styles. Judge B. 8. TuthilL States' Attorney Longenecker sdd Dr. Wallace speak on tbe subject.

i The proceedings were opened by Dr. Wal lace leading the parable of tbe Good Samari tan and the singing of a hymn, "i lit. Wallace said tbe press and the periodi cals were constantly suggesting means for the relief and plana for tbe rescue of wrong doer. The most reasonable way seemed to be to prevent as much as possible the making of criminals as well ss to aid and rescue those who are already started on the downward path. It is the aim of the Waifs' Mission to stop this moral destruction of the poor and fnendli children, and to save them from vice and sin.

General N. SUtes was then introduced. and he began by saying that the search after knowledge was year by year becoming one of humanity. His subject was set down to be Education and Its value as a Reforming Influence. History has demonstrated and been corroborated by human experience that by impressing on the children tbe truth of the old adsge that "honesty is the best policy," tbe future generations would be better snd nobler.

There were laws to be enforced, but thev were not. The ti ppling houses were keot omn on Sunday in defiance of tbe law, and no effort was made to close them. Yet there are some people who were anxious just now to see the World's Fair closed on ovenoosing ion open saioon ana asjiy violation of law. It is a duty imposed on those who have the means to contribute to aid and encourage such a charity e-t this Wsifs' said General Stiles. "There are, I am told.

Is there not a lack of judgment in such giving, wben we bear of 30,000 children needing education?" The speaker went on to say that it might come to toe time wben the government would regulate the accumulation of millions of money by one men, wben it would fix the number of millions of dollars a single individual should own, and there stop. He otoeed by an appeal for earnest work in aid of the waits of tbe Biase Attorney SDoke- on mission work, lie called attention to the dif- ferenci in the elassej of the world.

For the amount of good tbe Mission is doing it re ceives less ski from good people than any charitable enterprise in the city. Judge B. S.

Tuthill said that tbe subject of the Waifs' Mission was very dear to his heart. Tbe city was filled with hungry and homeless wails, ana hundreds or them rsn sbout the streets growing up to vice and wickedness. Tbe aim of the mission was to gather theee in and feed tbem and clothe them and train them. Tbe speaker said that be doubted whether there was any Sunday school in the city that was doing such effective work as the airs' Jdis-on in tjMng toe young tbe right wsy of life. "What the mission needs is a borne, and I hope the day is not far distant wben some Chicago Rockefeller will give a few thousands of his wealth to get a home for these waifs." Tbe speaker then told how the mis sion bad grown, and its needs.

i Superintendent Daniels closed the meeting with a few statistics on the work of tbe mis sion during the last three years, and called for subscriptions to the fund for tbe erection of a building to be devoted exclusively te the wsifs. There was a liberal response to- the appeal. A WBlSH SERVICE.

Tbe sermon was prefaced by the speaker by a short address in Welsh, in which he urged that Christianity was fos tered in the valleys of the Kryn while the Saxon invader was still bowing to his gods ol stone, and bere bb Augustine lelt tbe eternal city on bis missionary A liberal offering was made, which will be used in erecting a memorial in the new church to be built during the coming summer by the congregation of the Church of the Good bbepherd, to commemorate tbe uxe work of Dr. Goronwy Owen, a Welsh divine and professor in William and Mary College, who" lived during the eighteenth century.

But ere bis lips were sealed be told his secret mining location to Dr.

THE: WORST OF ALL Sunday Scenes at the Milwaukee Avenue Carrousel.

-1 IMMORALITY RUNS RAMPANT. Police Officers Do Not Try Prevent Disorder. I i I to This- Resort Even Wore than Wost Madison Street Merry- ii '1 'r. th I i CHANCB FOR MORE REFORM. i The two carrousels on West Madison street were closed by the police a few weeks ago, it will be remembered, because 'they attracted an undesirable class of people to that part of the city, because they were a nuisance to the communities in which they were situated.

and because in tbem lurked a danger to the boys and girls who frequented them, i 1 Theee places were not openly immoral indeed, it was but infrequently that acts were committed thst would warrant police interference. The general tenor of the places was bad, and it was what they led to that stamped them as vicious planes that should not be tolerated by tbe city, i So they were closed. ta in the city to-day another carrousel which is worse in every wsy than either of the Madison street dens ever was. tit is the carrousel located at the corner of Mil waukee avenue and Will street that is re ferred to. i KErnoK OF THIS CARBOCSSX i and of how things are run there has been made in these columns before this, and yet the descriptions of the indecent scenes wit.

nesscd there on previous occasions would be inadequate to describe the shameless carry ings-on st the place last night. "Why don't you investigate the Milwaukee avenue carrousel, as it is tbe worst place of its kind in the city This question was asked time and again when the accounts of the Madison street places were being published. Everybody ssked the question, especially the police officers. If last night was a fair sample of tbe man ner in which the management conducts the merry-go-round, then these people are right in their assertion that "it is the worst place of its kind in tbe city." This plsos Is run by the American Carrousel Company, snd is open Ssturdsy and Sunday evenings. Anybody can get in that is, any body who has a nickel to pay tbe admission fee, and wben once inside they can do nun much as test ruin.

The boys cna. hug and kiss the girls, and the girls can hug and kiss the boys; the two sexes can mingle at their own esweet will. hich they do to their hearts content the boys can swear loudly and 'literally flood the floor with tobacco juice, and the girls can use jun as bad languags as they care to and disport themselves most immodestly; And this they do, or rather they did last mgbt. There is a large sign posted up on tbe right wall inside the place, which says that tbe management desires to grsnt the patrons of tbe place all tbe freedom desirable, snd that it does not think it is asking too much of them to request tbem to obey tbe rules of tbe house, also tbe ordinary rules of etiquette. Just what that means is not quite clear.

especially tbe last part about etiquette. If any of the persons there last night knew sught of etiquette, it must have been tbe etiquette of the alums. Tbe rules of tbe bouse are these Ho jump ing on or off tbe wheel while in motion no smoking allowed no admittance to tbe en gine-room. Tbe last is the only one of the rules that is observed, snd the police officers stationed st the plsos do not try to enforce the others. True, smoking seems not to be indulged in, except that now and then some youth puffs on a cigarette and blows the smoke in the feces of those around him.

is ths riser race, this carrousel is a poorly ventilated affair, and when several hundred boys and girls pecked in there, ss they were last night, the foul atmosphere is very offensive. But the moral atmosphere was even worse than that. Tfce girls who thronged tbe place were mostly from 15 to 18 years of age, and there were many who were mere children, apparently not yet in their 'teens. They were as bold ss tbe rest, Tbe young men to be seen were mostly youths of 20, although there were many older" than' that, and not a few boys, who added to dm by their blasphemous shouts and other noisy action. There is no rule st this carrousel requiring tbe girls to ait apart from the boys, or if there is it counts for nothing; for they sll go together, and the place was literally packed with them twos snd threes and noisy groups; It was a rule at the West Madison street places that ths boys should not sit with the girls unless they came with hm.

At the Milwaukee avenue resort, however, the boys snd girls not only sit together, but they are together sll over tbe place. In fact, they could not all sit together, as there is not one-tenth enough chairs to seat the crowd the filled the place last night. TRET DID EOT SO TO Eton on the bobby-horses st least, the greet ma jority of them did not. The Wheel was nearly always full, however, end from the time tbe place opened until tbe time it closed several hours later, the loud orchestrion kept up a racket that waa styled music "Where did you get that hat?" seemed to be its stock in trade, and tbe wsy that tune was ground out time alter time would put to shame the most persistent son or xtaiy wno ever totea a bandrorgan. -1 Tbe persons, on tbe wheel seemed to be having good time, if loud laughter, vulgar remarks, and ungainly attitudes signify anything.

The young man seemed to' think that every girl be -came across was his property for the- fame being, and the way be treated ner ana taisea xo ner would mi a pure- minded girl with horror. Several young men amused themselves by jumping on tbe wheel, embracing aa I hey did so some girl who was riding. -If the girl did not object tbe em brace was kept up on tbe wheel. If she did object the young men would jump off, then jump on snd try it over again. ney usuauy won over tne girls, who gen erally did not object unless ber embraoer happened to be some one she disliked.

In that case she would expostulate in xabocaox ov nm most ixdicdt mm. But it was on the floor that the immorality of tbe place was most noticeable. Tbe girls seemed to nave two favorite occupations. One was to get in one corner and surround themselves with several young men. Tbe other waa to continually parade round and round the place, pushing their, way through tbe crowds of young men, who did ail in their power to retard their promenade.

i Tbe young men found much diversion in snatching tbe girls' handkerchiefs, in potting their arms around them and kissing them, snd otherwise, fondling tbem." All this tbe girls seemed to enjoy. At times, when the young: men's careesee would grow lees, the girls would take a band, in making the ad vances, -1 It Tbe language to' be heard everywhere was shocking. Coarse jokes, oaths, and ribald talk of the most obscene character were to be beard everywhere. In this talk the girls joined with a i J.

The estimate which these Eastern Democrats upon the abilities snd experience of their Republican associates im undoubtedly a just one; but the Republicans in the House are not permitted to vote according to the of their abilities and experience.

He is opposed to free coinage, snd is the only Democrat who was so loyal to bis convictions upon ths subject of honest "money that be did not vote for a free coinage man for speaker. Yet be utters such rubbish this: "If tbe motion to postpone tbe free coinsge bill until next session does not pre veil tbe Bepublicsns here in the House will be wholly responsible. We have mads a careful and most conservative canvass of the Demo cratic forces in svor of postponement, snd no matter whet the' silver men rosy say or how bard they may bluff there are sufficient Democrats, if the anti-silver Republicans are present and vote with them, to postpone further consideration of the Blend bill. A large number of Western and Southern Dem ocrats favor po-tponement.

Nothing could better the desperation of tbe handful of Democrats from the' Eastern ates who came to Washington and en deavored to convince tbe people of their tions that they could dominate the Democratic party. It was predicted at the time when they were making such earnest appeals for the- confidence of the people that they would simply be flies upon the wheel. is what they have become, and because the groat Democratic party wheel is going around and the party leaders pay no more attention to tbe suggestions of these New Englsnd Demo, crata than the wheel does to the flies which are upon it ihia little! handful of audacious, egotistical, and arrogant men seek to make it appear that -the party in tho House, must in some wsy be held responsible for the financial heresies of the body which dominates the House of Represents tires, con trols its organisations, and has a two-thirds majority. It ia ths present purpose of the three men, C'i r' caisp, cATcanros, aso v'snxxrjr, the ex-Confederate Democrats who constitute the majority of tbe Committee on Bules, to bring in a rule on Tuesday to make the Bland free coinage biff a special order lor March 22. Their pun is to give the bill four days for consideration in the House.

Within that time the bill is to be debated and accord- ing to present expectations brought to a vote. Tbe fact, however, that the order is to make tbe silver bill a matter of special privilege for only a limited period would mske it possible for the anu-euver Democrats to prevent a vote by resorting to filibustering tactics. To counteract this it is possible that the Committee on Rules may bring in a rule which will bring tbe matter- to a vote, tbe members, of the Committee on Rules think that a filibustering combination can not be brought in to defeat the resolution which, they will submit to the House. But it is said te be tbe present pur-poseof Representatives Cochran, of New York; Andrew, Neill, and Williams, of Massachusetts, and of the few other Eastern Demo- crati who constitute tbe anti-silver men in tbe Democratic party to fight ths special order of ths Committee on Bules from the begin ning, and to seek to defeat it. ia a speech on rules in which be desired to have a rule adopted similar to ths Reed rule by which the majority should govern, indi cated that if the contrary policy should be pursued which has been the fact he should exercise tbe power of filibustering, which the ruies gave him, to seek to defeat any measure to Which he WSS onnoaed.

TT will, it nn derstood. take advantage of the first serious Opportunity which presents itself to do this, and will endeavor to organise a filibustering opposition to the renort frdm this committee to sirs the KUiwi free coinage bill a day in court. Mr. Cochran is not skilled in parliamentary tectios, but be is a man of force and vigor and will ver likely be looked upon as a leader in this contest. Tbe Demoe ratio clique of, filibusterers expect that the Bepublicsns will come to their aid in Una extremity, 'and they would doubtedly at once show their political and personal gratitude to.

It Is clesr be is in harmony with those ho advocate the repressive plan, and that he would prevent the discussion of ths free coinage bill until after the Presidential election. He admits that nothing can be accomplished by the agitation of tbe silver question now except to engender divisions in the Democratic party, and be says that it is better policy to I avoid this subject. On this subject bel stalest Ia my opinion the continued agitation of the silver question in this Congress is not only useless but very unwise. Everybody appears to ad mit that no free coinage bill can become a law, because' if passed by both bouses it would be vetoed by tbe President, and there tbe matter would end.

Practically, therefore, there is nothing to be accomplished by the agitation, except to engender divisions and dissensions smoog those who sre substan tially united upon all other economic and political questions, Our true, policy, it seems to me, is to secure ss far ss possible economy in public expenditures, mske a clear end emplatie record in favor of the re duction of taxation upon, sll tbe necessaries of life, urge the repeal of all subsidies and bounties to favored interests, and adjourn at tbe earliest possible day. Amos I. crjauexsas. one of tbe veteran Congressmen, from New York, snd a most determined Democrat, ex- isses an opinion aa to the fate of tbe silver bill in the House which is of more value than the opinion of any Mugwump can be. Mr.

Cummings says the Committee on Bules un doubtedly sympathises with Chairman Bland. To secure consideration of his bill it will be necessary to report a special order. They will doubtless make the report. Under special order there can be no filibustering and the trill is aUnost certain, to be sent to the Senate.

The House Committee en Accounts has dis covered soma curious items in the bills pre sented xor tbe funeral of ex-Congress men Hduk, ot Tennessee.

The item is disputed bees use the most expensive caskets ordinsrily used in Washington can be purchased for $33 There is in addition an item of S31 for photographs, winch never before appeared in sny Congressional funeral bill, and the charge of $18 for stenographers.

It ie possible that this bill may be the basis of movement which is so greatly needed to insugurats a reform in Congres sional funeral expenses.

Tbe report that Chief Justice Fuller eon- templates resigning because of tbe inadequate salary is denied by him with amusement. To those who are acquainted with the financial condition of Justice Fuller's family tbe: denial was as unnecessary ss the published report wss 1 ridiculous.

Fuller would be likely at present to even consider tbe resignation. That contingency would be hie' nomination for tbe Presidency by tbe Democsstio party.

Mr. Griffith stated that bs piade a careful investigation into the affairs of tbe eompsny snd discovered that tbe eoncera now has a number of bonds and mortgages belonging -to individuals in its possession i that they do not belong to tbe company and have act been psid, snd that their owners are demanding their return, some having engaged lawyers to take legal action to enforce tbe return of the papers. Continuing, Mr.

Griffith said In some cases interest coupon, bonds. snd mortgages which were sent to the com- pony for collection have been paid to the company, but have not; been- delivered, and the foinrr paid has sot skss aasuTTso to the owners. Ths money is not oa head and did not come into the poesssiion of the receiver. Parties to whom it belongs are do- mending their money or the return of their pspers. i "In some esses where payments have been made and tbe securities1 taken up and mortgagor is demanding the) release of his property.

Parties who have remitted money to the company to pay their interest of principal, snd which has not been paid, sre clamor, ing for the return of the money or the application of ths same as None of the money in question, Mr. Griffiths states, came into bis pnsssssiua aa re-, ceiver. After explaining these strangely complicated accounts, Mr. Griffith proceeds tostite: "Some securities of this company are in tho hands of At. V.

B. Bull, of Albany, N. YM who is President of the Western Farm Mortgage Trust Company of Lawrence, Kaa-, and Vice President of the Denver company. Some of -these securities bs has sold snd appropriated tbe proceeds thereof in payment of debts due himself and others since the appointment of tbe receiver, of which be bad notice. "There are," continued1 Mr.

Griffith, "some $3,000,000 represented by mortgages, which have been guaranteed by tbe (company, and which have been sold throughout tbe Eastern States." Mr. Griffith says that the assess of tbe com pany sre largely scattered and in great DAsoaa or aauo SAcsiricao. The receiver is not yet able to state definitely ia regard to this matter, but upon informa tion obtained believes in the accuracy of the following fsctst i i The Third National Bank of New York City now holds $90,000 worth of securities of the company oa loan of $30,000 sad threat ens foreclosure. Tbe Commercial National Bank of Denver has a claim of $35,000 against the company secured by $7,000 collateral. The Nat oaal Bank of Commerce of it City holds an obligation of he company amounting to $88,000 snd secured by $145,000 worth of securities.

I 'I "Quite recently," says Mr. Griffith, $,000 worth of securities were sold la) Kansas City ia payment of a loan of These securities can probably be recovered. a loan ox siumw was recently mad, and $40,000 worth of tax certificates belonging to the company were put up ss collateral. The cimpany recently transmitted to Lawrence, Kam, $3,000 or $1100 worth of interest coupons upon which it had advanced money, and which belonged to the oompany, and assigned -tbem to Lw H. Perkins for the purpose of se curing payment of certais obligations of the company, amounting to over $100,000.

Mr. Griffith adds that tbe company ia owing sbout $50,000 upon some property la Mon- tana which it purchased and mortgaged, but failed to pay off tbe first ben, which existed st the time of the purchase and foreclosure, and the 1 i loss or ran raueasi is TaiaaATairan.

Griffith saysi appears' to be due to mortgagors considerable; sums. Ia some cases beads snd mortgages have been delivered by borrowers and not paid for.
