FRAG RANI BERMUDAS PUT MULE AND' MEN TO SLEEP A wagon piled high with w'dl-filled Jute sacks and drawn by an an cient mule turned Into Broad street Thursday afternoon and started through the wholesale district. Its com ing was heralded by an odor pungent and iterating, but not unpleasant. The mule started across the street car track with no more regard for an approaching trolley than If he had been in a prairie. The policeman on the beat noticed It Just In time to Jump forward and save the Indifferent ani mal from a horrible death. "Hey, what you doin’ there?

Maier & Berkele you're drlvin'?" suggested the police man to the negro on the driver's seat. No answer was returned, hut a long- drawn nut choking noise, with a little whistle at the conclusion. This was followed by an Imitation of a circular saw cutting throgh a pine log and striking frequent knots. The driver was as sound asleep as though in a Pullman. His head rested on a filled sack anil he' heeded neither the sun thnt bent down fiercely In his face nor the flies that left the mule to attack a more tender prey. The officer walked around the wagon. In the back, curled up on the sacks, was another negro who slept as sound ly as the driver. The crash and rattle of the busy street swept by them, their ears were assailed with every variety of noise which comes from granite blocks and Iron tires, but they slept on. and neither the remarks of the crowd which formed nround the wagon nor the ham mer of the officer's club on their soles Dy Private Leased Wire. New York, Aug. 24.—Timothy M. Ileaty, member of parliament from Ireland, who Itaa Just arrived here, speaking of an era ot hope and pros perity for Ireland, laid: “The old mud cabin of yore la grad ually being done away with and the sanitary condltoln throughout the Is land he, enormously Improved.” Continuing, he said: ”Slnce the old grand Juries, the so-called old quarter sessions bench has been done away with and county councils established In their Head. These popularly elected bodies have started buildings for labor ers, giving them a good water supply, suppressing bad fever conditions, look ing after tht roads and In other re spects adding greatly to the Improve ment of the people's condlton. "Of course local taxes have tncreaa- ed, but In view of the betterment of the lot ot the people thle I* not demurred to as much as might be expected. "Officialism, too, has been checked to a great extent and the people have gotten a larger measure of power Into their own hands. They are now In clined more to look on the bright side of things. 'The Oealle League has revived old Irish dances, songs, music and sports and the priests, too, have largely thrown themselves Into this side of life. "Some have taken greet advantage of the new agricultural department founded by the Tory party under Sir Horace Plunkett.” The Incident In this lesson occurred near the close of Christ’s ministry on earth, while on His way to Jerusalem. He had been preaching In a house, and and while there mothers had brought tlfelr children that He might bless them. As He went forth Into the way, a young man came running to Him, and falling at His feet, asked Him, "What shall I do thatU may Inherit eternal life?" Till* young man was In earnest, as was Indicated In the manner of his coming running; he was reverent, as was manifested by his addressing fflrn as "Good Master," and his supllant posture: he wns a moral young man, having kept all the commandments that relate to our duties to our fellow-men; he was courageous, for he was rich and n ruler, and not many ot his class and position became the followers of the lowly Nazarene. He did not come like Nlcodemua. under the cover of the night, but In the day time, and on the public highway. We have every reason to believe that he was sincere, by the Important query on his lips. He was amiable, possessed of such • disposition and character that as the Savior looked on him He loved him. Lacked One Thing. And yet. with all these gnnd traits, the Lord tells him there was one thing he lacked—thnt. he must sell all he had and give to the poor; come unto Him and‘be His follower. Was not that a severe teat ? Put your self In the young man’s place. How would you feel to be called on to give away all the earnings of s lifetime, or part wfth an ancestral estate, leave a plcasiui' home, the society of dear friends reputation, rank and riches, and follow the fortunes of a man who was osi ntclzed by the recocnlsed best society, and so poor that CREDITORS SEARCH FOR MRS.

Aug. 24.—Fearing that the 11,000 ball, In which she was held on charges of swindling prospective hus bands, will not be Inducement enough to bring Mrs. Rina Verrault, of the now famous "marriage syndicate” back to New York by September 18, the date set for her hearing before United States Commissioner Shields, creditors are trying to find her. Consternation spread among the creditors when they learned that Mrs. Verrault had left the city, leaving Mrs. I. W. Brown to face the rest of the storm. hire.

"Is this a sleeping beauty Joint we've run Into? Put roe wise, some of you; put me wise!” Why, that’s .easy," said tho produce man who had Jfist arrived on the scene. That wagon's loaded with Bermuda onions and the smell will put anybody to sleep In five mlnutee. Why, I have to go down cellar and wake up every nigger down there once every half hour. I heard once of a schooner sail ing Into New Orleans loaded with on ions, and every man on her from cap- the back of this youth? What, but his real good? It was not to break his back, but his pride; not to repel, but attract him: not to quench the flaming flax, but to fan It Into a flame; to convince him he was not what he seemed to others or himself: but as far as genuine faith and piety were concerned, there was one thing he lacked. The lari; of one thing may spoil everything else. A watch without a mainspring I# worthless as a chronom eter. A eun-dlal without Its gnomen, as It Is called. Time's Iron finger that throws Its shadow on the circling houre Is of as much use In the darkest night as In the brightest sunshine. A ship may he built of the strongest oak, with masts of the stoutest pine, manned by the beet officers and crew, amply sup plied with lifeboats, but you would not risk your life on her to cross the ocean, If she lacked one thing—the mariner’s compass. Ho " faith. _ _ . works, tht costllezt sacrifices, and the most moral life, are. of no value In the eight of God. It may be the lowest piety, but one degree above zero: It may be the love of smoking flax; the hope of a brul*ed reed: :he faith of a mustard seed; but If Inwrought by the spirit of God It chongea the chnracter of man, and his prospect for eternity. It Is the digit that prefixed to the ciphers give them their value end without which they represent nothing. It Is the signature to tin check or note, without which they are worthless. We May Be Amiable Without Being Religious. Saving grace may be found where there Is sad want of natural graces. As aomi one has said, "Grace can live where we could not.” But in the other hand, these natural grii'. rs, as they are railed, have adorned many who were strangers to the grace of God. We often mistake one for the other. We may be possessed of much that Is admirable and beautiful wlth- ou. nnythinr holy. « Turning his back on’Chrlst, refusing His personal Invitation to become His follower, going away sorrowful, ..this nung man warns us that the sweetest. young man warns us inn me sweeimi, kindest, gentlest, may lack the one thing needful. However lovely and loving and loved you may be. and de serve to be, except you are born Bgaln you can not see the kingdom of God. A Man May Live a Moral Life With out Religion. A man can not be a Christian without living a life of morel correctness, but he may be a moral man without being u (.'hr Ini Ian. This young man, a child of fortune, reared perhaps with pious care, an honorable station to sustain, kind pa rents to win his affections. It Is easy to account for his observance of the law. RUh, what temptation had he to steal? Blessed with an amiable tem per which he may have Inherited, ho had none of those quick and fiery* pas. sloas which explode Into acts of vio lence. Tlure was no flint In his com position, no dynnmlte In his nature. Having the .honor of a holy office to sustain, no wonder he was not addicted to tho grosser sins. For what he was he may have had no reason to bonst. His parentage, hie education, his tr.i'"lng, his surround ings. may have ir • .e him what he was. He did not know (He spiritual nature of Ood's law, how there may be adultery In a look, theft In a desire and murder In the heart. . He had nothing of godliness, but a form of religion, an empty shell. With affections so amiable and life so fair as ever won the esteem of mankind, yet he lacked the one thing needful. A goodly exterior may. be but the garleh paint, and an odorous wrapping of a mummy esse containing only dust and death. Unless the heart Is right with God, •II else la wrong. A Man May Be Interested in Salvation and Not Bo Ssvod. In some way this man had been awakened, had been made to feel that with all his possessions there* was. one thing he lacked; with all he had done, there was something for him It? do to secure eternal life; he repairs to the fountain head, seeking It In Christ, yet a stranger to the grace of God. The curtain falls on him with his face turned to tho world and his back on Christ. He gave more apparent evi dence of being -saved than many who repair to the Lord's table, and bear an excellent character In the church. Look at his earnestness. He did not wait for a more convenient season, he came running to Christ. Look at his humili ty. A noble by birth, a ruler by office, a man of his position and great wealth, he kneels at the feet of One who was born In a stable, and never had un earthly home, and who was burled In a borrowed sepulcher. Thnigti possessed with everything the world could afford, more than enough to supply all his wahts, he felt a void within that the world could never fill. No wonder that the disciples, when they saw such a man turn his back on Christ, and heard our Lord say It was easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye than n rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, were astonished and asked: "Who then can-be saved?" Not a Universal Test. We must not undcratqpd that all who come to Christ and would be Ills fol lowers must sell all their goods and give to the poor. Christ looked Inti, this young man's heart andSiaw what was the great obstacle In his way, the one thing that was holding him back. His words were a warning not against acquiring riches, but trusting In riches. Money Is not the root of all evil, but the love of money. There le nothing wrong In making money, If made hon- eetly and legitimately. It le n good thing If kept In Re place. lie place should ^e In our open hnnde and not our hearte. It Is a good servant, but a bad master. Some of the best Christian men are rich, men who realize their rotation to God is stewards, and also their oblige, lion to their fellow-man, but It Is hard for a man whose sole aim In life la to acquire riches to live a Christian life. The heart Is weaned away from things spiritual and wedded to material things. Then there ore all the tempts, tlona that are concomitant with wealth. There le no warning In the Bible that neede to be held up and heeded more In thle age of commercialism than the one In this lesson. This I* a busy, bustling, hurrying, lading age In which we live. The world seems a vast arena, filled with runners In the race for riches. They are so Intent In finding gold In the sordid soil of earth they can not look up to see tho crown sparkling with gems of redemption. How men work and worry under the spur and whip of this monster passion, turning a deaf ear to every holy and humane apneal for help, practicing all the tricks of trade, often denying them selves the comforts of life, that they may pile up riches they do not enjoy while living, and must part with them when they die. Hoarding Is a species of Insanity. I can see the wisdom In the bee gather ing honey when the flowers are In bloom, and storing It away in hex agonal cells, providing for the lime when the fields nre bleak and bare, and In the squirrel, that In gathered nuts provides Its winter supply of food. But for a man to spend his life In the acquisition of that whfrh Impover ishes rather than enriches him, If not madness. Is the height of folly. A sailor once etood on the deck of a sinking ship that was returning from the Pacific coast. Bags of gold lay on the floor which the returning miners had discarded when they put on their life preservera. The sailor loaded him self with these till he fould scarcely bear their weight, and when remon strated with and told they would sink him In the sen, he replied that “he had always wanted to be rf was his last opportunity.” We condemn his folly, but many do a similar thing. This lesson Is not only a lesson to the rich, but to, those who would be rich, who trust In uncertain riches. If we would be Christ's disciples and followers, we must be willing to give up anything thnt holds us back. Our prayer should be: "Give me neither poverty nor riches." Not many use that petit they did they would puli oni they prayed the other. Christ wants an entire consecration. We are not our own.

Puree Baptized. A man was once about to be Im mersed, when eome one offered to hold his purse, and he replied: “No, I want that baptised, too." He believed In a pure-snd-ull consecration. Peter, not by the way of boasting, but to find out If they had stood the test and compiled with the conditions, says: “We have left all nnd followed Thee." Then Jesus tells them that they who have left all for Him shall he rewarded a hundred fold In this life, and the life to come. "Jesus, I my cross have taken. All to leave and follow Thea; Naked, poor, despised, forsaken. Thou from hence my all shall be." orb s¥e7oTeno$ SHOES TO PORTO RICO served to break their slumber.
