Or.TALMAGE SERMON Every mam HIS OWN FIRE BALLS FROM THE CLOUDS These Electric Phenomena Are Rare, Bat Brilliant. The storms that have raged over England displayed some extraordinary freaks of lightning. A fire ball fell into D-ddop reservoir, near Halifax, about 3 o'clock p.

and was seen by the caretaker's daughter. The ball of fire illuniin-nated the countryside. There was a loud, hissing sound. A gigantic fountain was thrown into the air and half the surface of the reservoir was ruf fled for fully five minutes. An appalling thunderclap followed.

The smell of sulphur was so strong that the caretaker and his family could scarcely breathe. The fire ball which wrecked the village of Stoke Doyle, near Aundle. is described as. having presented a vivid spectacle. It is not possible to ascertain its true character, for there are various sorts of electrical phenomena which come under the term "fire ball." According to the best authorities, a fire ball is a mysterious phenomenon of spherical form which falls from a thunder cloud and frequently rebounds after striking the earth.

It usually burns with a bright flash and a loud explosion and occasionally discharges flashes of lightning. By some scientists the fire ball is termed "globe lightning," but the keenest enthusiast has never stopped sufficiently long to examine it closely on arrival. Sometimes an ordinary bolt of lightning is described as a fire ball. The real fire ball is a very rare phenomenon, so much so that at one time it was supposed by scientific men to exist only in the popular imagination. The French electrician.

Plante, when experimenting with his rheostat a kind of condenser-several times observed balls of fire travel along the wires of the machine and then burst with a loud detonation. This phenomenon, which has never been satisfactorily explained, presents all the characteristics of the true fire ball, which travels slowly enougu for Its movements to be plainly visible and then explodes. London Mail. Better Than the Policeman. A man was wondering along Park Row the other day looking for the office of the Bureau of Municipal Statistics.

He asked one or two pedestrians where the office was, but they did not know. Then he asked a policeman, but the officer did not know either. A small newsboy heard him asking the policeman and volunteered the Information: "Ninteenth floor Syndicate Building. Taper, sir?" "Oh, yes. I remember, it is in the Syndicate Building." the officer interrupted.

Then he chased the small boy away before he could sell his paper. York Commercial Advertiser. By J. Hamilton Ayers, A. jy This is a most Valuable B.

He who fills up his life with thoughts of death is far from being the highest style of Christian. I knew a man who used often to say at night. "I wish I might die before morning! He is now an innaei. But there are times when we ean and nmrht tr aive ourselves to.

the contempla tion of that solemn moment when to the soul time ends and eternity begins. We must go through that one pass. There is no roundabout way, no bypath, no circuitous route. Die we must, and it will be to vis a shameful occurrence or a time of admir able behavior. Our friends may stretch out their hands to keep us back, but no imploration On their part can binder ns.

Thev might otter large retainers, um death would not take the fee. The breath will fail, and the eyes will close, and the heart will stop. You may hang the couch with gorgeous tapestry, but what does death care for bed curtains? You may hang the room with the finest works of art, but what does death care for pictures: You may fill the house with the wailings of widowhood and orphanage. Does death mind weeping? Listen to Paul's battle shout with misfortune, hark to mounting Latimer's fire song; look at the glory that hath reft the dungeon f.nd filled the earth and heavens with the crash of the falling manacles of despotism and then look at those who have tried to cure themselves by human prescriptions, attempting to heal gangrene with patch of court plaster and to stop the plague of dying empires with the quackery of earthly wisdom. Nothing can sneak peace to the soul, nothing can un strap our crushing burdens, nothing can overcome our spiritual foes, nothing can open our eyes to see the surrounding horses and chariots of salvation that fill all the mountains but the voice and command of Him who stopped one night at Emmaus.

You ought to be willing to exchange your body that has headaches and side-aches and weaknesses innumerable, that limps with the stone bruise or festers with the thorn or flames on the funeral pyre of fevers, for an incorruptible body and an eye that blinks not before the jasper gates and the great white throne. But between that and this there is an hour about which no man should be reckless or foolhardy. I doubt not your courage, but I tell you that you will want something better than a strong arm, a good aim and a trusty sword when you come to your last battle. You will need a better robe than any you have in your wardrobe to keep you warm in that place. Circumstances do not make so much difference.

It may be bright day when you off from the planet, or it may be dark night and while the owl is hooting from the forest. It may be spring, and your soul may go out among the blossoms, apple orchards swinging their censers in the way. It may be winter and the earth in a snow shroud. It may be autumn and the forests set on lire by the retreating year dead nature laid out in state. It may be with your wife's hand in your hand, or you may be in a strange hotel, with a servant faithful to the last.

It may be in the rail train, shot off the switch and tumbling in long reverberation down the crah, crash! I know not the time, I know not the mode, but the days of our life are being subtracted away, and we shall come down to the time when we have but ten days left, then nine days, then eight days, then seven days, six days, five days, four days, three days, two days, one day. Then hours, three hours, two hours, one hour. Then only minutes left five minutes, four minutes, three minutes, two minutes, "one minute. Then only seconds left four seconds, three seconds, two seconds, one second. Gone! The chapter of life ended! The book closed! The pulses at rest! The feet through with the journey! The hands closed from all work! No word on 'the lips! No breath in the nostrils! Hair combed back to lie undisheveled by any-human hands.

The muscles still. The nerves still. The luags still. The tongue still. All still.

You might put the stethoscope to breast and hear no sound. You might put a speaking trumpet to the ear, but you could not wake the deafness. No motion. No throb. No lite.

itill! Still! On earth with many of you the evening is the happiest part of the twenty-four hours. You gather about the stand. You talk and laugii anl sing. You recount the day. You plan for the morrow.

You have games and repartees. Amid all the toil ot the day that is the goal for which you nin, and as you take out your watch ior look at the descending sun you thrill iwith the thought that it is toward evening. So death cornes to the disciple. What if the sun of life is abou to set? Jesus is the dayspring from on high, the perpetual morning of every ransomed spirit. What if the darkness conies? Jesus is the light of the world and of heaven.

What though this earthly house does crumble? Jesus has prepared a house of many mansions. Jesus the anchor that always holds. Jesus is the fountain that is never exhausted. Jesus is the evening star hung up amid the gloom or ithe gathering night. You are almost through, with the abuse and backbiting of enemies.

They will call you no more by evil names. Your good deeds will not longer be misinterpreted or your honor filched. The troubles ot earth will end in the felicities of heaven. Toward evening! The bereavements of earth will soon be lifted. You will not much longer stand pouring your grief in the tomb like Rachel weeping for her children or David mourning for Absalom.

Broken hearts bound up. Wounds healed. Tears wiped away. Sorrows terminated. No more sounding of the dead march.

Toward evening. Death will come sweet as slumber to the eyelids of the babe, as full rations to a starving soldier, as evening hour to the exhausted workman. The sky will take on" its sunset glow, every cloud a tire psalm, every 'ike a glossy mirror, the forests transfigtired, delicate mists climbing the air. Your friends wiil announce it, your pulses will heat it, your joys will ring it, your lips will whisper it, "Toward evening." After many Intricate experiments, scientists have discovered methods for obtaining all the natural diges-tants. These have been combined In the proportion found in.

T. Abernethy. PROTECTED BY REPUBLICAN CON. CRESS AND ADMINISTRATION. An ArtlclA Which Shows How Silly Is Hanoa't Assertion That "There I Not Trast la the Entire Unltel States" A "Iieftnition" For Depew.

Senator Ilanna says "there are no trusts. Senator Depew calls for "a definition." The name was originally given to a number of independent corporations combined to create a monopoly and vesting their power of action in a single trustee. It was decided by the Supreme Court that corporations touKl Qot lawfully combine In this way, and so they adopted the device of merging their existence and identity in one great corporation. The name changed. The thing con-tinued.

Instead of a trustee acting for separate corporations there is a president and board of directors represent ing the several corporations welded into one. In either case the aim and the result are the same the creation of a private monopoly. If anything, the cohesion is now more perfect the power is greater. The Anti-Trust law of 1S90 declare that "Every contract, combination in form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy In restraint of trade i hereby declared illegal." Judge Barrett, In his decision in the famous sugar case In New York State, thus defined a monopoly: "A combination, the tendency of which is to prevent competition In its broad and general sense, and to control and thus at will enhance prices, to the detriment of the public, is a legal monopoly. Nor need it be permanent or complete.

It is enough that it may be even temporarily and partially successful." There are hundreds of such monopolies in the country to-day, and neither the Republican Congress nor Administration has done anything to prevent or to punish them, but both have done much to promote and protect them. The history of the window-glass industry for twenty years has been a history of a succession of pools, lockouts, agreements fixing prices and rates of wages on the one side, and on the other of strikes and their accompaniments. On account of our natural facilities we ought to be making the best glass in the world, but we make poor glass for which the consumer pays double price. The American Glass Company was formed in 1895. It was a selling agent for eighty-five per cent, of the factories.

It was succeeded in OetoIer. 1S99, by the American Window-Glass Company. The capital of this corpor ation is The value of the property represented by this capital is about G.X(J.0)0. Since 1S05 the prbf of window-glass have been about doubled. It is stated in a glass manufacturers periodical that tue pool made $700,000 in lSOts $1,750,000 in 1S07 and in 1S08.

The glassmakers take the full bentfit of their enormous protection, and as foreign glass costs more in the interior than on the seaboard by reason of the cost of transportation, consumers of American glass In the interior pay more for the domestic article than do consumers on the coast. A box of glass, for example, costs at Fittsburg fourteen cents more than the Boston price. v--, The duty on glass is between eighty and 100 per cent. Besides this great trust we hare the following trusts in the glass industry: The Pittsburg Plate-Glass Company, with a capital of It has about doubled prices in the last two years. It pays very low wages from $1.35 to $1.80 per day.

The National Manufacturers' Association has advanced its prices ten to fifteen per cent. The National Glass Company is new. It is a combination of makers of tableware and has $4,000,000 capital. The Macbeth-Evans Glass Company owns about half the producing capacity of lamp-chimney plants. -New" York World.

Freedom of Discnwloii. The suspension of freedom of discussion is one of the strongest signs of the imperialism which seeks to make itself permanent. Republicans make objections to. a discussion of the Philippine question pending the suppression of an alleged rebellion. They object to Mr.

Bryan's criticism of the Philippine policy because he supported the ratification of the treaty which removed Spanish sovereignty. If the treaty had not been ratified, then a state of war would have existed, pending which criticism would still have been denounced as "stabbing the army in the back." Take it what way we may, discussion seems to be out of order. Will the organs kindly inform us when liberty of speech will be in order again? Atlanta Constitution. An Exposure. Some months ago the Republicans were boasting of the thoroughness with which they had established the gold standard.

Now even Secretary Gage is ambitious to prove that the Republican enactment is so flimsy that it could be easily destroyed by a Democratic Secretary of the Treasury. Very Inconsistent.

A special policeman was instantly killed, another was wounded in the head, a striker was probably fatally ehot and tea non-union men mere more or lesa seriously wounded at the Oneida colliery, of Coie Brothers, in a clash between the officers and 503 strikers Wednesday. The victims are: Killed, Palph Mills, aged S3 years, cf. Beavef Meadow, cne of the offers conveyed in a special train early this morning from that place to Oneida.

He vaa shot through the 'back. Wounded, George Keiner, aged 33, of Beaver Meadow, aLso a special officer, shot wounds in the head, but will recover; Jos. Lesko, aged 38, of Sheppton, a striker, shot in the groin, and will probably die. The non-union men were stoned, but only two of them were seriously injured. They were: John VanBla-gin and James Tosn, of Sheppton.

The former sustained scaip wounds and the latter had fcur ribs broken. The Oneida colliery, having bvra in operation since the inauguration ot the strike, the union men at Oneiia and Sheppton, where many of the employes of the Oneida and Derringer collieries of Ccxe Brothers and Company live, decided to close down tfca mine. They gathered in groups on the streets as early as 3 elock. As tha non-union men went to work they were asked by the strikers to remain at home. Some turned back; others did not.

Those who went to the colliery were stoned. Van Elargin, one of the non-union employes, attempted to pull a revolver, but the weapon waa taken from him and in the beating he received had several ribs broken.

He assured them that their husbands would gtt an increase in wages and that their other grievances would be prcperly adjusted. The women refused to listen and stoned the superintendent, who was wounded in the head.

Talmaire discourses upon the invitation (riven to Christ to stay overnight in the Oriental village, anil makes some consolatory suffarestion. The text is Luke xxiv. C9. "Abide with us, for it is towarit evening." Two villagers, having conducted their errand in Jerusalem, have started out at the city gate and are on their way to Emmaus, the place of their residence. Thpy go with a sad heart.

Jesus, who had been their admiration and their joy. had been baselv massacred and entombed. As, with sad face and broken heart, they pass on their war a stranTer accost them. Thev tell Him anxieties and bitterness of soul. He in turn talks to them, mightily expounding the Scriptures.

He throwa over them the fascination of intelhgent conversation. They forget the time notice not the objects they and before thev are aware have come in front of their house. They pause before the entrance and attempt to persuade the stranger to tarry with them. Ihv press upon Him their hospitalities. Xi-ht is coming on, and He mat meet a prowling wild beast, or be obliged to be unsheltered from the dew.

He cannot go mvtrh farther now. Why not stop there and continue their pleasant conversation? They take Him by the arm, and thev insist upon His coming in. addressing Him in the words. "Abide with us. for it is toward The lamps are lighted, the table is spread, pleasant socialtiesareenkindled.

They re-ioice in the presence of this stranarer guest. He asks a blessing upon the bread they eat. and He hands a piece of it to each. Suddenly and with overwhelming power the thoueht flashes upon the pstonnded peopleit is the Lord! And as they sit in breathless wonder, looking upon the resurrected body of Jesus. He vanished.

The interview ended. He was gone. With many of us it is a bright sunshiny day of prosperity. There is not a cloud in the skv, not a leaf rustling in the forest, no chill in the air. But we cannot expect all this to last.

He is not an intelligent man who expects perpetual daylight of toy. The sun will after pwhile near the horizon: the shadows will lengthen. While I speak manv of tis stand in the very hour described in the text. ''For it is toward evening." The renuest of the text is appropriate for some in everv commu nity, for with them it is toward the even ing of old ae. They have rased the me ridian of lii'e.

Thev are sometimes star tled to i.iin'c how old thev are. Thev do not, however, like others to remark uno" it. ir others sueest their approximation toward venerable appearance, they say, ''Whv. I am not, so old. after all." Thev do.

indeed, notice that thev cannot lift as much as once; they cannot walk quite so fast; thev cannot read quite sa well without spectacles; they cannot so easily recover from a cough or anv occa sional ailment; tbey have lost their taste for merriment: thev are surprised at the quick passage of the year: they sav that it on-y senis but a little wnile ago tnat they were boys; they are eoing a little down liill: there is somethins in their health. something in their vision, something in their waik. something in their ehaneins associations, something above, (oniething beneath, something within to remind them that it is toward evening. Thi ereat want of all such is to have Jesus abide with them. It is a dismal thing to 03 getting old 'without the rejuvenating influence of religion.

When we stop on the down grade of life and see 1 lat it dips to the vere? of the cold river. we want to behold some one near who will help us across it. When the sight loses its rower to glance and gather up. we need the faith that can illumine. Whn we feel the failure of the ear.

we r.eed the clear tones of that voice which in olden tin.es broke up the silence of the deaf with cadences of mercy. When the ax-men of death hew clown whole forests of strength and beauty around us and we are left in solitude, we need the dove of divine mercy to sing in our branrhes. hen the shadows beain to fall ar.d we feel that the day is far spent, we need most of all to supplicate the beneficent Jesus in the prayer of the villager. -a hide with us. lor it is toward evening.

The reouest of the text is an appropriate exclamation for all those who are ap proaching th" gloomy dour of temptation. There is nothing than to be eood natured when everything pleases, or to be humble when there is nothing to puff us un, or forgiving when we have not been assailed, or honest when we have no inducement to fraud. But vou have felt the grapple of some temptation. Your nature at some time ouaked and (rroaned under the infernal power. Yoa feel that the devil was after you; you saw your Christian graces retreating; you feu ed tiiat you would fail in the awful wrestle with "sin and be thrown into the dust.

The g'oom thickened. The first indications of the night were seen. In all the trembling of your soul, in all the infernal susgestions of Satan, in all the surging up of tumultuous passions and excitements, you wi'h awful emphasis that it was toward cven- ng. In the tempted hour von nct Tesus to alide with vou. Von can brat back the monster that would devour you; you can unhorse the sin that would ride you down; you can sharpen the battleax with which you split the head of helmeted abomination.

Who helped Paul shake the brazen gated heart of Felix? Who acted like a good sailor when all the crew howled in the Mediterranean shipwreck? Who Helped the martyrs to be firm when one word o.f recantation would have unfastened the withes of the stake and put out the kindling fire? When the night of the soul came on and all the denizens of darkness came rid ing upon the winds of perdition, who gave strength to the soul? Who gave calmness to the heart? Who broke the spell of infernal enchantment? He who heard the request of the villagers, "Abide with us, for it is toward evening." One of the forts of France was attacked, and ihe outworks were taken before niht. The besieging army lay down, thinking that there was but little to do in the morning, and that ths soldiery in the fort could be easily made to surrender. But during the night, through a back stairs, they escaped into the country. Jn the morning the besieging army sprang upon the battlements, but found that their prey was gone. Ho when we are assaulted by temptation there is always some secret gtair by which we might get off.

God will not allow us to be tempted above what we. are able, but with every temptation will bring a way of escape that we inay be able to bear it. The prayer of the test is appropriate for all who are anticipating sorrow. The greatest folly that ever grew on this planet is the tendency to borrow trouble, but there are times when approaching sorrow is so evident that we need to be making especial preparations for its coming. One of your children has lately become a favorite.

The cry of that child strikes deeper into the heart than the cry of all the others. You think more about it; you give it more attention, not because it is any more of a treasure than the others, but because it is becoming frail. There is something in the cheek, in the eye and in the walk that makes you quite sure that the leaves of the flower are going to be scattered. The utmost nursing and medical attendance are ineffectual. The puTse becomes feeble, the complexion lighter, the ster weaker, the laugh fainter.

You have lor rejoiced in the cire of a mother; you have done everything to make her last davs haopy: you have rr.n with feet to wait upon her everv want. Her presence has been a perpetual blessing in the household. But the fruit gathered are looking wistfully at tat tree. Her soul is ripe for heaven. The gates are ready to flash open for her entrance.

But your soul sinks at the tho'iht of separation. You cannot bear to think that soon yvwi ill be called to take the last look at that face, which from th first hour has looked upon you with affection vn changeable. But you ee that life is ebbing, and the grave will soon hide her from your sight. You sit ouiet: you feel beavv' hearted. The light is fading from the sky; the air is chill.

It is toavard evening. Th words of the text are pertinent to all from the fact that we are neanng the evening of death. I have heard it said that we ought to live as though each foment were to be our last. I do not believe that theory. As far as preparation is concerned we ought always to be ready, but we cannot always be thinking of death, for we have duties in life that demand our attention.
