5 THE BEOOKLYK DAILY EAGLE MONDAY, MAECH 12, 1894. TWELVE PAGES. BARBARA B. WOOD. BAZAR AND ENTERTAINMENT OUTLINED BY EOSEBEEf THE SHIELD OF CHEIST A STOEM OF OPPOSITION PRAYER A FAILURE.

Rov. Cortland Myers iivc Reasons XVUy It Should Not Be. "Prayer a Failure," was tho subject of tho Bev. Cortland Myer's sermon at the Academy of Music on Sunday morning. Ho said in part: To the worm crawling in, tho dirt the root seems only na ugly thing, fit to be gnawed away.

But the gardener sees that it supports tho beautiful foliage plant whioh gives symmetry to tho whole flower bod. So mon with eyes blinded by dirt, choked with tho dust of the world aad crawling amid material things, see nothing but an ugly root in that which In tne sight of God is the main support of true Christian charactor, earnest prayer. The theory of the materialist is about as sensible as that of the darky accounting for his fenr of lightning. He said it once struck a white man and made the first black man, and since then all blaek men aro afraid of it. Webster said that men seemed to thinfc God mado the world, started it going and then stood off and didn't dare to touch It.

The man who denies the power of prayer makes a farce of history and human experience. The deepest fooling of the human heart is behind it. The first thing that prayer may not bo a failure is to see that faith' is not absent, faith to serve, to auk aad then to wait. Savages pray, but not in the name of Christ. The faith must be willing not to ask when or how.

Paul prayed to be relieved of his thorn. It was answered. Tho thorn wns not taken away, but he had tho reply: "My grace Is sufficient for you." Cargoes of trilling value may bo brought by little coasting vossols, never out of sight of land, Dut the precious lrelghts como in ships that are long on the ocean and out of sight. Tho second thing to prevent failure is to have Death off the Wife of William Mac donnld. Wood.

Barbara E. "Wood, the wife of Wfltiam Mao donald Wood, managing editor of the Brooklyn Times, died on Saturday forenoon at her home at Thomas ton, Mrs. Wood had' been in. aelioate health for nearly three yeurc. It was her custom to the winter months In the oity, but during the winter just passed, her health had so improved that she spent the season In her country home.

Early last week she contracted a cold which rapidly developed into pneumonia of the' most mnlignaut type. Her physioikn, Dr. Pierre Hoac, ot Manhassett hoped to save her life, and on tho morning of Saturday there was no indieation that death was so near. Her husband left her for business then and she was cheerful and apparently comfortable. At' 11 o'clock her attendants ne tieed a change of an alarming nature.

Mrs. Wood remained conscious tb the last and death came to her like the sudden' snuffing of a candle, unexpectedly' and painlessly. Mrs. Wood 'was Mr. Wood's second wife.

She was born in Hudson, K. thirty ATS years age, and had been maTriod nearly ten years. A.dausrhter, Mary, aged. 6 years, survives her. Mrs.

Wood was an excellent mother and a steadfast friend. She had morryi sunny disposition and rapidly endeared hersolf by her charmine; ways to all with whom she catne in eontact, soolally and in the domestio clrolo. The funeral services will be helrt in the Chureh of St Aloysius, Great Neck, L. to morrow at 10 A.M. The train will leave the Long Island railroad depot at Hunter's Point at to morrow morning.

The first annual entertainment and bazar ot the Brooklyn Women's Dumb Animal Aid association was held Saturday afternoon and evening at the Pouch gallery and wasa deelded success, the booths being artistically arranged and the display of brioa brao aa.d fancy articles unusually good. The dog show was a very attraetivo feature, a prize eollie, a prize Maltese terrier, a French poodle and an Irish setter being the most interesting of the animals exhibited The flower booth presented an especially attractive appearance with its decorations of pink crape and quantities of exquisite flowers. Miss Webbor, Miss Hart, Miss Cameron and Miss Miller wore in charge.

An entertainment was given ia the evening whieh was attended by a largo number of people aud whioh was opened by on address by Mayor Sohieren. The mayor was introduced by Mr. George F. Elliott, who explained the objeot of the association and warmly praised the efforts of tho members to aid tho buildinir fund of the Amer ican Sooiety for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The mavor said: ami fnnr.lnmnn ATv ffifti1 IT.

IHritt. has told you ho does not know what I am going to say ami ho waH richt, for he dirt not write my spoech. There is not a bonk in am lihrnrv nr nn any shelf to day that tells a hotter story than one written by a woman and called "Black Beautv." Ihere is a Gorinin sayinc which I oonsider fits une utmsion ana is, jNever tie oruel to an animal; like yourself, it feels the psin." Teaoh your child early in life to love and be kind to animals. The noundmaster who comes every day to my office secured h'S position in the following way Henry Ward Beecher, noted for the love for animalB, had vioiouB dog and won told that a certain Mr. Stratton could tame him.

He fonnd the trainer, save him his dnir. nnA in r.wri ivAAlta lift could be led anywhere by silken cord. Mr. Beecher was so pleased with his euoeess that ho aspect ex Mayor to appoint him pound rnaster, which was done, and he has remainod thero since and is in no danger of being removed by me. I have been requested by the ladiou not to make my speech toe long and.

as Mr. Elliott explained the object of the asaociation. nothing is left for ma to suggentbut that the gentlemen who have come with fnll pooketbooki diminish their contents before thoy leave and help swell tho trensury. I wish you good night and 'success. After the mayor's address the following pro gramme was rendered Quintet.

raeana an intorested crowd of women. It the day is pleasant, so much the better, but it must needs bo a severe storm to keep many from aoc'eDting the invitation. A dainty hat ia an object of pleasure from the artistic Bide as well as from tho personal. It hardly seems possible to the unini tiated that the large array, covering table upon table, will disappear almost as quickly as it was arranged. Customers who visit tho scene mean business, and though the Eagle reporter loosea over ciia variety early in tne flay many tags were marked "sold." The immense assortment affords a splendid opportunity for Brooklynites tb select a spring and summer supply.

It needs but a glance to note tho prevalence of black. Blaok is combined with yellow, pink, magenta and especially with green. IThere are a great many blaok and green models. One, a medium round hat ia rough green fancy straw, Is trimmed with blaok jetted net A large grotesque affair from Vlrot with green crown and wide brim of jetted net is trimmed with black tips and magonta roses. Many, ot ho models are in net, covered close with jet sequins.

The large hats are finished either with or without strings, but when used those are wide and often lace finished. There are striking novelties, as the round hat in roup ereen straw trimmed magenta velvet and black violets, one bunch of tne latter nanging aown tnrough the brim with the green stems stieking up through. One looks at this hat and wonders If anything oould bo more original. Then there are real serviceable small hats, modifications of the continental, trimmed with rosettes and baby tips. Hats are quaint and generally beoomlng.

Bonnets aro so small as hardly to exist at all. Open orowned toques are shown, composed ot bunches of violets and their stems with a ijjige cluster of blaok or colored aigrettes on one side of front The fanoy for Loie Fuller styles has not yet passed by, a largo, rather old fashioned looking hat having a high crown of green straw and a brim of thick fluted blaok lace. There is no fault to bo found with these large hats from an artistic point of view. Charming little gold and straw bonnets are completed with long, wide strings of delicate pink silk ribbons, mere nothings, and yet just the thing for evening wear. Loeser's openings are invariably successful.

The highest compliment any customer can pay each succeeding one is to say it has not disappointed expectations, for expectations are sure to demand much of this popular emporium, which aims at nothing short of perfection. A SHJSIOALE AND RECEPTION. Dr. and IVIrs. Blanched Entertain a Kumber of Frionds.

Tho musical reception held on Monday evening at 2 16 Hancock street, tho rosidence of Dr, nnd Mrs. Hanchett, was attended by a large audience of appreciative lovors of music.

Attlebobo, Maroh 12 A well dressed young man who rotused to give his name and who wore a blaok cloth mask arrived hero Saturday night and oreated something of a sensation. He engaged a vacant store and Ailed the windows with pictures of himself and announcements that he was Paul Pry, just starting on a trip around tho world. He stated that lie had ugroed to make the trip in ono year and was to wear the mask for that length of time. The store became filled with a noisy crowd and he was forced by tho police to discard tho mask. Ho has left town.

Deuglas Adam, the pastor eloot ol.the Beformed Ohuroh on the Heights, was in his pulpit for the first time yostorday morning. Occupying a seat beside him was tho Bev. Dr. Wesley Beid Davis, litis predecessor, who led in the responsive rending from tho Psalter. No other devotional exeroUss wero conduoted by tho pastor elect.

Mr. Adam's sermon was an eloquent and foreoful one. He has a very graceful delivery," a strong, pleasing voioe. and is most earnest in his manner. Ho announced Uis subject as "The Christian Shield." The text was chosen from Ephosians "'Above all, taking the shield of faith, whereby ye snail be able to qu'onoh all the fiery darts of tho wicked." Mr.

Adam said in part: The shield is a woapon of reaistanoe rather than of subjugation. Its purpose is more passive than aotive. It does not so much suggest conquest as protecting what has been conquered. Defense is tha first element in an aggressive military policy. Some of the great victories have been viotories of standing four square against the blast.

was more a victory of the shield than of the sword. Some nations have been brilliant in tho use of the havo been humbled in their own capitals; some nations have a brilliant foreign polioy. while thoy are humbled in tho heart of their own camp, all booausethoy have no shield. Tho prinoiple is at work in individual experience. A man gains a mors exalted intellectual conception of Christianity, but sometimes loses the rugged native fire.

A youth at college gains a broad and splendid culture, but loses the starling strength and worth of earlier conviction. A man ia sometimes brilliantly using the sword forgets the use of tho shield. Whereas, on the other hand, the man who has made no conquest with the sword in tho world oi thought, but has protected his native pieties and enthusiasm agaiast a withering oynioism and stans out fresh im. middle life with the young heart in him Is a conqueror, indeed. I After all in' our best moments we feel a vigilant use of the shield is the groat condition of valiant service for Christ.

The great regret in most men's lives is for what they have lost that was once theirs. What they have gained is as nothing. The best thing i to have the shield over that whioh we believe to be the strength of human onaraoter. Men lose the very best in taking that which is not the greatest. They have lost castles taking sandhills.

The principle has been at work in tho history of the churoh of Christ. The oon quest of Constaratihe by the sword of the spirit was brilliant; but just at that time there came a tide of corruptions in the ohuroh that had forgotten her shield. It is ot work in our mod era evangelistic polioy. Corruption are still in tho churoh of Christ. The gathering in of multitudes to the kingdom is a brilliant use ot the sword, but so often the multitudes are not protected, are not fed, get seattered and the Christ asks again and again, "Where are the nine?" ThoBe of the disciples who told tha Christ they had east out devils ia His namo were skillful in conquest; but the reply of ths Christ, ''I never knew you," was a revelation ot their inner defeat Let us consider briefly this morning faith as a moana of defense.

First as a means of defense in presenae of the mysteries of creation. In pre Christian times men looked upon this earth as the center of tho universe. This was the only sphere of God's interest The stars were merely ornaments In the terrestrial caaopy. But when the modern view of astronomy prevailed men imagined tnat Christaia hope had been ruined. Until to day a starry night causes the faith of some to stagger.

How can they believe in the particular care of God in view of his vast dominion? How can they believe in the revelation of God in Christ? They feel adrift, orphans. They look up and say with Carlyle, is a sore sight" But to others the immensity does not crush. It does not cut them oft. The starry night is a sacrament Through it they rise to their Father in heaven. It lifts them above tho little theater of human passion and strife.

The mystery with in nas leiiowsmp with the mystery outside of them, all beoause they have tho shield of fnith There Is no paaic on tho question of theological dogma in the heart of the man who has the shield of faith. The scientific by Charles Darwin regarding the origin of species has become the soientiflo question of questions, ooine poopie are in a panic lest tho ark" of God should be destroyed by a soientiflo theory. But I thank God Christian theology is calm, and trustful. It has no fear of soientiflo tneonos. une man says he accepts the theory of evolution; but man loses for him all its sa credness and he surrenders his own saared notions of the destiny of man.

Another says he must stop his ears lo3t he be caught; he must be unreasonable in order to bs safe against tho seductions of science. But the Christian with the shield of faith stands trustful arad Joyous in tho sound of the strife of tongues. Second, the shield of faith Is a defense in the presence of the mysteries of Providence. There aro mysteries at our doors as well as in the stars, as well to day as in past geologio ages. The phenomenon of blindness perplexed the disciples of Christ.

"Who did sin?" they asked. And so to day wo have the blind, the lame, tha diseased, the helpless. That deep mystery of suffering causes' soma men to revolt against tho order of things. Their hearts are steeled. They say some one has blundered there exists an injustice.

They throw themselves against a sheaf of spears. Their theory of life multilates and disfigures everything. They throw themselves over tho preeipioe. But faith saves us. Palth shields the Christian from the mysteries of providence, and faith Is la.

part able to read the mystery. It sees privation as a meaas ot speoialiBm, as Peyton has written. It sees that if Milton had not been blind he might not have boen the formative influence in modern English; that if Pope had not been deformed he might not have been the leader of English literature of the last century: that if Beethoven had had his ear open to the disaerdant notes of the world he might not have heard so clearly the harmonies ho has given us in symphony and sonata. A man, in order to aocompfiah a groat end, has to boeome a specialist; he has to shut himself off from other things. Faith sees nature doing this meroifully for us.

Faith also soon in the mystery of sufferingtho possibility for our If the world were ideally situated there would be no sphere for your pity, no discipline for selfishness. The sufferings 'are opportunities lor our spiritual development. Faith soes that these objects of suffering have compensation for their sacrifices. Faith accepts suffering, knowing God's compensation. Third, let us consider faith as a defense in presence of tho mysteries of individual experience.

Conscience doth make cowards of us all. ft sometimes does for men what chastisement dous for a child takes the spirit and ambition out of him. As tho cold takes the strength from the wings, of a bee, so conscience comes so flcrcelr upon a man as to paralyze him. But the diviuo purpose is not to pitralyze. So when conscience has done ita work in us, faith io h.

shield against the accusings of con seiohco. Wo need something to come hetwoea us and our conscience, and there is moment when God would have semething come between us nnd our conscience. Our hearts may condemn us. but God is greater than our Faith puts tlio croBs of Christ between us ajid the accusings of our conscience Tomp tatiou 3luys more than fall on tho battle field. But in the living Christ is proof against the furnace.

Like the youths of scripture we shall pass through unharmod. Faith is a shinld in tho face of the oppression of uutv. Faith will not shield us from duty, but from the shadow which duty throws upon us. Tho duty of lo morrow is casting a shadow upon your rest and worship to day. Fuith in Christ uuts God between and our oiroumstances.

In conclusion Mr. Adam apoke eloquently of the modern substitutes for the shield of faitli naming among thom eeclesi tstical authority' When John Henry Newman was tossed hither and thither in the anxloties of the tractariaa movement he found shelter in the shield of au ecclesiastical hierarchy. But it meant intellectual crucifixion. There is also tho shield of reason, the throwing out of the transcendental in life, the casting out from life all that cannot come behind that shield. And how much in life refuses.

It is the annihilation of tho highest. It cannot protect the whole of lifo. It leaves the best, the tenderest, tho most sacred in tha storm. Then there is tho shield of surrender, or the agnostic. That administers an auodyne.

It is life struck dumb la tho presence of tho mystery of life. But Christ offers tho shield of faith. He does not sham the forlorn outlook. He will tint the somber landscape of our life with tho glory of tho sun. The shield that Christ offers Dreserven mn from that withering unbelief aBd builds us up in our most holy faith.

We now together take up a warfare begun and continaed in an honored past. Lot Christ bo the captain In our campaign until He leads us up tho hill of God Into the ineffable glory. To the Pending Newtown Creek Tunnel Bill. The Measure Names Five Commissioners and Gives Them Extraordinary Powers They Jlay Millions, Issue Unlimited Quantities ot Bonds and Extend the Work Indefinitely. The Nowtown creek tunnel bill, creating ox Senator Patriok H.

"McCarren and Laster W. Boasley of Kings county and Theodore Koehler. Luoien Khapp and William A. Jones, of Queens county, commissioners with power to construct a tunnel undor Newtown oreek to connect with Manhattan avenue, Greonpoint, with Vernon avenue, Long Island City, is "causing a good deal of talk throughout Queens county. The act to lawfully establish tho project is pending in the legislature.

It was introduced ia the senate on Tuesday last by Senator John Lewis Chllda of Queens, and a hearing will probably be reached on the biil before tlin citios committee of the sonate on Thursday. Assemblyman James Bobinson of Long Island City has refused to introduce the bill in the assembly. The passage of tho bill will bo vigorously opposed by delegations from Queens county. People in Long Island City who are enthusiasts over tho bridge projeat will'oppose the passage of the present tunnel bill on the ground of the unlimited powers invested in the self named commissioners. Millions may be spent in the tunnel construction.

The act plaoes no limit on the amount ot bonds that may be issued, nor does it specify any definite time for the completion of the work. It provides, however, that tho work shall commence on or bofore June 1 next, and that the said commissioners shall receive $2,500 per annum salary. It also gives the commissions the power to fill vacancies that may ocour in their number and also upon the completion ot tho tunnel of letting franchises for its use to railroads, telegraph and gns companies. BeBide, the commission according to the aot is vested with tho exclusive power of appointing engineers, draughtsmen, bookkeepers, olerks, inspectors, messengers and other employes deemed advisable by them. It also gives the commission power to give out two thousand dollar contracts without advertising fer the lowest bidder.

It also provides that within thirty days after the awarding of contracts aad the aoqulrmg of such real property as may be necessary, the commission shall make an estimate of the total amount of money of conrse, including the incidental expenses, and shall certify soon estimate to the supervisors of Kings and Queens counties one half of the said moneys to be eharged aad raised by the oounty ot Kings and the other half by Queona oounty. Such bonds to be issued for forty years in the sura of of $500 ach and oarry interest at the rate of 4 per cent. The bill Is being denounced in many quarters of Queens oounty. Of Queens county's half, Long Island City is slated to pay one half aad the county towns the other half. The townspeople axe aroused and declare that it is unjust to assess them for the tunnel when they derive no benefit.

On the other hand there is considerable opposition among the Long Island City taxpayers who declare that the total one half of the whole cost ought te be proportionately spread over the county at large. The Queens oounty supervisors indorsed the tunnel scheme with the exception of Supervisor David L. Van Nostrand, who eited a way out of the difficulty ot the present condemned bridge by favoring the construction of a new bridge to be operated by eleotrloity. Supervisor Koehler of Long Island City, who is named as one of the tunnel commissioners, says that tho tunnel can be built within $200, 000, while Engineers Itoullier und McLaughlin estimate that the cost wilt be "THE LAW OF OPP0SITES." The Rev. Mr.

aeon's Theory of the Origin of Sin. The Bev. F. E. Mason of the FirBt Church of Christ, Bedford avenue and Madison street, dis coursed yesterday morning on "Tho Law of Op posites." Mr.

Mason undertook the task ot accounting for the origin of sin, which ho did in a rather unique manner. He said, in point of fact, there is.no sin. What is termed sin is a negation of faot Man dates his origin fromo hypotheses, spirit andmattor, which are incompatible conditions. Ho Dolieves that he is the "image and likeness of God" on the one hand, and that Adam is his progenitor on the other. God repudiated Adam with the word "Dust art and unto dust thou shalt return." Adam is the synonym of imperfection and necessarily comes under the condemnation of perfection.

Man dates his origin from Adam, the fallen man, and entails discord, disease and death upon himself as a consequence. Conscious of the sense of perfection, it is a sin to reckon from the hypothesis of imperfection. This is where sin enters the consciousness. It Is the result of a wrong estimate of man. It is no sin to declare man to be the perfect expression of a perfeot prinoiple; hence no sin is predicated from this spiritual buso.

In other words, sin enters not, but to rockon man from an opposite base is a sin and sin enters the consciousness and is perpetuated by the continuity of the conception. The one important lesson for man to learn is that when the mind is centered on anything less than perfection tho Imperloet status begins, the fall takes plaoe aad man beaomes tne Adam man, cast out of the perfect Edenlc consciousness, to run the gauntlet of human sense until his mind is again regenerated to the true level of spiritual consciousness. Adam is man seen from a fictitious standpoint Jesus represents man as he truly is, approved of God, "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased." The Adamlo conception of man must be eliminated from man's mind, that tho perfeot conception of himself may be the alpha and the omega of his mind. A TROLLEY OAR STARTED THE TEAM And Flatbueh Was Eulivened hy an Exciting II una. way.

A team or horses attached to a coach driven by L. Wardenhauer of 55 Hamburg street, Brooklyn, became frightened at a piece of paper flying on Flntbush avenue, Flatbush, yesterday afternoon, and rah away. The animals dashed toward a trolley car coming in an opposite direction. To avoid the car the driver steered tho horses into the sidewalk. Thoy ran at a lurious pace down tho uvenue! When near East Broadway the driver again steered the horsee towurds the middle of tha street.

Thoy swerved sharply and tho right front wheel of the carriage struck a trolley pole. The force of the collision threw the driver from the carriage and ho landed on tho sidewalk head first. Sergeant Gillen, who witnessed tho accident, telephoned Dr. Apple gate. When he arrived Wardenhauer was still unconscious.

Ho was soon revived and his wore dressed. John Eukham et 141 Jefferson avenue, wliowas insidw of the coach, was uninjured. Tho vehicle was smashed and one of the horses badly cut. WORK IS THE PRESEXT AGE. Kev.

The English Liberal Programme Under Gladstone's Successor. It Is Mapped Out in the Queen's Speech Upoa the Keopening of Parliament To ilay and" la an Address Bofore tho Leaders ot the Party by the New Premier. March 12 Parliament assembled to day, and It is probabla that mors interest ia, taken In this meeting of the lords and commons! than in any other previous gathering of the two bodies for some years past. The cause of this unusual interest in parliamentary proceed' ings was the fact that the retirement of Mr. Gladstone from active participation in political warfare has necessitated a reorganization of tho different political parties, and thus to day, with the queen's speeoh, a new chapter la the)' history of England was opened.

Her majesty, in her utterances to day, after referring to the satisfactory relations existing with foreign powers, says: i "Negotiations are in progress withthe United States for the purpose of executing the award of tha court of arbitration in tho question of the seal fisheries of the Bohring sea. "Two oollisions, aoeompanied by lamentable) i loss of lifo, lately oocrurred with the Frenoa colonial forces in West Africa. I await, the re sult of the inquiry in regard to the deplorable) occurrences with full conildence that they will be examined in a calm ana dignified temper, as befits two great nations upon such an occasion. Gentlemen of tho house of commons Tie sstimates tor the public service will bo laid before you. They will bo found to make.f all and adequate provision for the defense of the erne pire.

"My lords nnd gentlemen The recent ia i provomont in the state ot Ireland has boen con tinuous and marked. Agrarian crime has bees I reduced, under the administration of ordinary I law, to tho lowest point that has been reached for the last llfteon years. The condition, how ever, of a considerable body of the evicted ten ants of that country requires earlv attention. A measure will be submitted to yon with the view of a reasonable settlement ot thin question deeply affecting the woll being of(Ireland, "Bills will be submitted for the" amendment of tho registration, the abolition of plural voting, dealing with the occlesiastical establishments of Wales and Scotland, the on utilisation of rates In London, local government for Scotland on tne same basis as recently accorded to England and Wales, and the exercise of direct local control of tho liquor traffic. lou will be asked to consider measures for the promotion of conciliation In labor disputes, lor tne amendment ot tho factory and mines aot and for the referm of method of con ducting inquiries Into fatal accidents in Soot land." A large crowd of people eathered in tha vicinity of the foreign oliloo this morning, to witness the arrival of tho celebrities who were to attend tho great meeting of the liberal 1 whioh had boon convened for noon.

Lord Itoseberv, the new premier, upon his arrival wits loudly cheered, and a warm wel 1 come was also extended to the other distin guished liberal leaders so soon as they wore recognized by the oxpectant crowds. Lord Kosooery also received an ovation as he took: the chair in order to preside at the meeting. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, who was tho last member of the cabinet to arrive, was greeted with great enthusiasm. The prime minister. Lord Rosebery, in ad dressing the party, alluded with considerable feeling to the retirement of Mr.

Gladstone, say ing that tney would "greatly miss that sublime i and pathetic figure which onriohed and enobled, not morel the treasury bench, bat the houso itself." Continuing, Lord Bossbery 6aid: ''It was thought that in the high office to which I have1 been oalled thoro should bo a declaration of policy. That is not necessary, as wo stand' where we did. Cheers. 1 "There will be no change of measures aad although there has boen a disastrous ohaxtge ot meu tney are an pledgee to tne same policy. Cheers.

The same measures remain aaj and it is not intendod to recede from any one of them. "Tho honor of England und the peace oft Europo are safe in the hands of tho present government 'The Welsh church question will bo pressed! to a definite and successful conclusion Cheers. "In regard to the Irish question, wo are bound I to it by ties of honor und affection. My speech in the house of lords in 1893 seems to havo raised some doubt as to my own position in re gard to home rule. Those who have those doubts can only have read the speech in a our sory manner.

The polioy of home rale will not be less definitely pursued. If there is any doubt on the subject, one pledge which the govern ment has given in this connection is the contin uauce In his present office ot the Bt Hon. Moriey, chief socrotary for Ireland. Mr. Moriey has been offered a higher ffloo, but: he thought it Lis duty not to sover his career from the cause of Ireland.

Cheers, "Our late illustrious leader, in his last speech delivered in the houss of commons, made declaration with whieh the present government! have entirely identified themselves. Cheers." Tho conviction has leng been forcing itself upoa' mo that with tho Democratic suffrage whioh wo' now enjoy a second chamber, constitut ed like the houso of lords, is an anom i aly. This conviction has been strength onod by the unhappy chapter of aoei: dents whieh hns turned the house of lords from a body of hereditary law givers, more or loss equally divided, into one groat tory or gnnizutlon entirely at the beek and call of a single party leader.

In this groat anomaly' peril to which It is exposed cheers I will not go so far as some of my friends. 1 do not think that the peers should be treated as1 pariahs. I do not think that tho fact that man was born In a particular position should: debar him from the higher opportunities ot serving the state, and I do aot sympathize with the views of a certain deputation which re eently visited tho Right Honorablo Edward Majoribanks (Baron Tweodmouth), though JJ agree that there is groat inconvenience whea! the premier is not in tho house of oommons. l' am not one of those who think that tho peerage)' should bo considered a stigma and a bar.

Sir William Vernon Harcourt, chancellor ot the ex followed. Ho said that tho! enemy flattered ihmselves that the party was going to drop home rule. But tho language of the premier and the presence of tha Might Hon. John Moriey, as ohiof secretary lor: Ireland, wns tho best answer thuy uould givo to tho supposition.

Continuing, Sir William remarked that JlTv Gladstone's last speech in regard to the house, of lords wns an inheritance for the party and" asserted that this quostiou would prove to bo' tho greutest subject of tho future. Sir James Fitzjnmos Stephen, the eminent jurist and judge of the exchequer division ot uie court oi justice, is dead.

The 7'imi'ji farther buys that a rumor was current last night to the otlxet that tho original draft of th quet u's speech contained a paragraph dealing with home rule, but that this was stricken out at the lust moment. It is agreed in cabinet circles that tho budget will be the most important departure of thai session, boins oi a comprehensive and contentious character.

There must bo an obedient life and heart 'Whatsoever ve shall ask in my name that will I do," is a good verse, often quoted, but that one is bettor which reads, ''If yo abide in me aad my words abide in you, ye shall ask what yo will and it shall bo done unto you."

Be willing to let go your grasp of the world and then you can take hold of heaven. Daniel Drew prayed that his speculation might be sucoossfnl, then risked his fortune, and the market went against him. He said prayer was a failure. But the laws of prayer aro binding in the spiritual world, just as the laws of the material universe. Spurgeon's daily life showed the source of his strength in prayer.

Mr. Myers said amoag other things: We need a revolution in polities, bloodless but oomplete, for what the boss says to the ring that says to the caucus, the caucus says it to the voter, he to his city, tho oity to the state, the state to the oountry, and our country to the world.

The walls aro draped with the American flag In different sizes, and each and every clerk wears his white pink boutenniere.

Tho faot that this is tho second year In the new store sinks into insignificance in comparison with the other fact that this is the fiftieth anniversary of starting in business. The presence of the white haired veteran merchant, Mr. Burnham, gives additional interest to tho occasion, which has been made unusually brilliant. Tho windows testify to this, both in their artistic arrangement and oleganoe of goods displayed. Each section has charms to hold one for hours.

There aro the now dress trimmings and laoes, the fine linens and the silks. What a gorgeous array! Out of a groat variety the figured satin tissues, brocho and striped taffetas in two and three tone effects, the peau de soles and Pompadour satins may'be noted.
