Y'ouni: Seligman Wounded by a
Pistol in ilia Own Hands.
Jacksonville, Fla., March 20.—Re
ports gained currency here to-day that
young Washington Seligman, son of the
rich New York banker, had attempted to
commit suicide at the San Marco Hotel,
at St. Augustine, last night. A dispatch
to-night from bt. Augustine says the alfair
was entirely accidental. Young Seiig
man was handling a pistol in his room at
the hotel, when it was discharged, the
ball striking him in the left temple and
glancing back across tbe bead, cutting an
ugly scalp wound, but one not at all dan
gerous.
Senator Sherman ami the Senatorial
party arrived hero this morning on their
return from Havana. They report a
stormy passage over, encountering heavy
seas, delaying the steamer Ma3cot,re
tvveuty hours. Senator eliermau left this
alternoou for Atlanta and Nashville,
where he speaks on March 24. The rest
of the party Jeftfor Washington to-u!ght.
EXPULSION OF THE CUBANS.
The Action Not a Move Against tlie
Eabor Organizations.
Tampa, Fla., March 20.—Having seen
a copy of the proceedings of the Central
Labor Union of New York as published
in the World and Herald of March 14, in
which the position is taken that the no
tion of the citizens’ committee in request
ing Ramon Rubirta and other Cubans to
leave Tampa was because of their con
nection with labor organizations, we de
sire as official representatives of tbe
Knights of Labor to positively deny
such assertion, and to emphatically
stale tbnt the action of the committee had
no bearing, either directly or indirectly,
toward any labor organization or any
laboring man in our community.

REPORXORIAL RIGHTS.
The Texas Legislature Lodges a
Delimit Reporter in Jail,
Austin, Tkx., Alarob 20. — About two
weeks ago the lower house of the Legis
lature, by a vote expelled from the floor
H. S. Canfield, assistant editor and re
porter for tue San Antonio Daily Express,
because of continued caustic criticism of
the proceedings ot the House. Yesterday
Canfield caused the arrest of speaker
Pendleton, alleging that he unlawfully
prevented him from entering the lobby of
the House. The Speaker was taken be
fore -Justice Fritz Fegner to answer the
charge. When the House learned that
the Speaker had been arrested great in
dignation and excitement prevailed.
BOTH ARRKSTED.
A Speaker pro tern, was immediately
elected, and a resolution was adopted di
recting tho Sergeant-at-Arms forthwith to
ormg Canfield and Justice Kogner before
the barot the House to answer for con
tempt in forcibly detaining its presiding
officer. The Sergeant-at-Arms with a
corps of assistants visited the Justice’s
Court in haste, interrupted the proceed
ings. and brought Justice F’egner and
Canfield before tbe bar. The House held
a night session to discuss resolutions for
the punishment of L antield and the Jus
tice. Exciting scenes ensued.
CANFIELD DEFIANT.
Catifieid was permitted to make a state
ment. He declared that he believed he
bad right of access to the press lobby, aud
right to institute proceedings to test his
constitutional right. He defied the House
by closing with tbe statement tnat lie
had nothing to regret, whereupon, by a
vote of 59 to 21, the House adopted a
resolution committing Canfield to the
county jail for forty-eight hours.
Justice Ft-gner wasdisobarged afterapoio
gizing. The Sergeant-at-Arms took Can
field to the jail, but returned at 10 o’clock
at night and reported to tho House that
tlie Sheriff refused to receive tbe prisoner
without a warrant properly issued by the
Speaker. Tbe House thereupon author
ized the Speaker to issue a warrant, and
Canfield spent the night in jail.

BISHOP KEANE’S SERMON.
Rome, March 20.—Bishop Keane, of
Richmond, preached a magnificent ser
mon this morning in the Irish Francis
can oburcb of St. Isidore on the subject
ol St. Patrick and the lrlsu nation, com
paring the early gioile-. of Christian ira
latd to tho traasttguration of Christ 011
the Mount and his after persecution and
suffering on thejouruey to Calvary. He
drew a powerful picture ol Ireland’s con
dition as the light and teacher of the na
tions of Europe, her children reaching
even to the gates ol Roma itself.
He described the destruction of Ireland’s
church, the closing of her schools, and the
oppression of her people. From this
treading of the wiue press uncounted
blessings were to How to the world. Once
the instructress of nations Ireland was
now held up to scorn and mockery as
foolish and ignorant. As Christ was des
pised and the most abject of men, a man
of sorrows and acquainted with infirmity,
so was Ireland. God permitted the
mightiest empire iu the world, the
Roman, to cruelty His Son, and so was
Ireland cruoitk-d by the mightiest, empire
that has existed since the days of Augus
tus. From her crueitication her love baa
gone to tho ends of the earth
to plant the cross ol Christ, and has built
up his church everywhere. Jesus lay
three days In the tomb, which was sealed
with the seal of Cresar and the synagogue.
Woen Easter came he arose in 111s glory.
Ireland’s Eastar is at hand, alter three
centuries of entombment. Tue first
brightness was the Catholic importation,
and it has since been slowly
but steadily expanding. Life has
been returning to that mangled
form swathed in grave clothes. Aireadv
the trumpet ol the Lord is proclaiming:
"ft is Easter morn.” Voices deny it,
declaring ‘*Thsre is no resurrection.”
"She has not risen.” “There is no lile in
her.” “They have seolen her from the
tomb while we slept.” But although the
same mystery ol the cross prevails. He
who has led ner to labor and the tomb
will just as surely lead her to the new
light. God is just to the
nations. The hour of retribution must
come. Erin’sorown of reward will be one
of joy. God forbid she should ever have
tbe ambition to be anything but what God
has destined her to be. We ask for her
liberty, not the lalse liberty which mis
taken ones of other nations ask, where
they complain of the law, seeking anar
chy and license, hut freedom for impar
tial justice, for the growth lor vvhioo God
has fitted her, lor the peaci that
she has sought; not the grim peace 0!
blood with whica nations delude them
selves, but the peace of the Lord, like
that majestic forgiveness that was
granted even to the perfidious Jerusalem.
VVeass prosperity, not the mock pros
perity of hard-hearted wealth hovering
over festering want, but lire, clotaing
against nakedness, comiort instead of the
hard-grinding, debasing suffering and
the persecution of past centuries.”
Tue whole sermon was a grand trium
phal panegyric. The church was crowded
with Irish and Americau residents and
visitors, including many Protestaits.
All were deeply impressed.

(led—Heaven, Karth ami Hell Three
Combatants Who Aro Fighting for
Every Soul.
Kansas City, Mo., March 20. —The
Rov. T. DeWitt Talmage, 1). I)., preached
in the Second Presbyterian church of this
place this morning. He arrived here yes
terday from Bt. Louis, and is stopping
over Sunday on his way to Topeka, Kan.
After expounding an appropriate chapter
he gave out the hymn beginning:
‘•.Teen, lover ot my soul.
I.et me to thy bosom fly.”
His subject was “Cheer for the Dis
heartened,” and his text, Psalm exlii., 4:
“No man cured for my soul.” Dr. Tal
mage said:
Huvld, the rubicund lad, bad become the
battle-worn warrior. Three thousand armed
men In pursuit of min, he had hidden In the
cave of JSugedi, near the coast qf the Dead
■sea. Utterly lagged oat with the pursuit, ns
you have often been worn out with tho triu's
of life, lie sal down aud cried out: ‘‘No man
cared for my Son!
If you should fail through a hatchway, or
slip from a scutfoiding, or drop through a
skylight, there would he hundreds of people
who would come around am! pick up your
body aud carry it to the home or to the hos
pital. 1 saw a great crowd of people in the
street, and I asked: “What is the matter?”
and I found out that a poor laboring man had
fallen under sunstroke, and all our eyes wore
tilled with tears at the thought of his dis
tracted wife itud bis desolated home. We are
all sympathetic with physical disaster, hut
how little sympathy for spiritual woes!
There are men in this house who
have corns to mid-life who have never vet
been once per-onally accosted about their
eternal welfare. A great sermon dropped
into an audience of hundreds of thousand*
will do its work; but if this world is ever to
he brought to God it will be through little
sermons preached to private Christians, to an
audience of one. The sister’s letter post
marked at the village—the word uttered in
your hearing, half of smiles and half of tear
—the religious postscript to a business letter
—the card left at tbe door when you had some
kind of trouble —the anxious look of someone
acruss a church aisle while an earnest sermon
was being preached, swung you into the
kingdom of God. But there are hundreds of
people in this house who will take the word
that David med iu the past tense, aDd em
ploy it 111 the present tense, aud cry out: “No
man cares for my soul.” You leel as you go
out day by uay in the tug tnd jostle of life
that it is every man for himself. You can en
dure the pressure of commercial affairs,
ami would consider it almost impertinent for
any one to ask srou5 r ou whether you are making
or losing money. But there havo been times
when you would have drawn your check lor
1 housantls of dollars if someone would only
help your soul out of its perpiexitias. There
are questions about yourirgher destiny thal
ache, and distract, aud agonize yOn at times.
Get no ous suppose that because you are busy
all day with hardware, or ary goods, or gro
ceries. or grain, that your thoughts are no
longer than your yard-stick, and stop at the
brass-headed nails of the store counter.
When you speak once about religious things
you think five thousand times. They call you
a Yvorldling. You are not a world
ling. Of course you are industriou.-
an l keep busy, but you bare had your eyes
openod to the realities of the next world.
You are not a fool. You know better than
any one can tell you that a
few sears at most will wind tip your
earthly engagements, and that you will tako
residence iu a distant sphere where a 1 your
business adroitness would be a superfluity.
You somotimes think till your head aches
about great roligious subjects. You go down
tho street with your eyes fixed on the pave
ment, oblivious of thu passing multitudes,
vour thought* gone on eternal expedition.
You wonder if the Bible is true; how much of
it is literal and how much is figurative; if
Christ be God; if there is anything like reirl
butlon; If you are immortal; if a resurrection
will ever take place; what the occupation ol
your departed kindred is; what you will
he ten thousand years from now. With
a cultured placidity of countenance
you are on lire with agitations of
soul. Oh, this solitary anxiety of your whole
lifetime! You have sold goods to or bought
them from Christian people for ten years and
they havenever whi- nered one worn of spirit
ual counsel. You ha\*c passed up ami down
the aisles of ehurcheß with men Yvho knew
that you had no hope of heaven, and talked
about the weather, and about your physical
health, and about everything but that con
cerning which you most wanted to bear them
speak, namely, your everlasting spirit.
Times without number you havo felt in your
heart if you have not uttered it with your
iips: “No man cares for ntv soul.”
There have been time* when you were espe
cial iy tillable on the great subject of religion.
It was so. for Instance, alter you had lost
your property. You bad a great many letters
blowing you up for bemg unfortunate. You
showed that there bad been a concatenation
of circumstances, and that your insolvency
was no fanltof yours. Yourcreditors talked
to you as though they would have a hundri 4
cents on a dollar or your Rfe. Protest after
protest tumbled in ou your desk. Men who
used to take your hand with both ot theirs
and shake it violently, now pass you ou the
ftreet wilh an almost imperceptible nod.
After six or eight hours of scalding business
anxiety you go home, anil you shut tbe floor,
an t throw yourself on the 6ofa. and you feel
in a state of despair. You wish that some
one would come in and break up the gloom.
Everything scent* to be against you. Tile
bank" against you. Your creditors again-t
you. Your friend*, suddenly become critical,
against you. All tho past against yon. All
the future aga 11st you. You make reproach
ful outcry: "No man cares for my soul.”
There was another occasion when all the
doors of your heart swung open for sacred In
fluences. A bright light went oflt in your
househo <l. Within three or four <l"vs there
were eomeressed hickncs*, death, obsequies.
You wore so lonely that a hundred people
coming into the house did not break up th
solitariness. You were almost killed with
the domestic calamity. A few formal, per
functory words of consolation were uttered
ontbestair before you went to the grave;
but vou wanted someone to come and talk
over tho w hoie matter, ami recite the allevia
tions, and decipher tho lessons of the dark
bereavement. No one came. Many a time
you could not sleep until 2 or 3 o’clock In the
morning, ami then yourtluep was a troubled
,1 ream In which was re-enacted all the scene
of sickness, and purling, aud dissolution. Oh,
what day* and night* ihcywere! No man
seemed to ' are for yotirsoul.
To ere was another occasion when yor
heart wa- very susceptible. There was a
great awakening. There were hundreds of
people who pressed into the kingdom of God;
a me of them acquaintance, some business
associates, jes, perhaps somo members of
your own family wore baptized by Rpriukllng
or immersion. < hristlen people thought of
you an l they called at vour store, but you
were out on business. They stopped at your
house; you had gone around to spend the
evening. They sent a kindly message to you;
somehow bv accident you did not get It. The
life-boat of’the Gospel swept through the surf
Had every body seemed to get in but vou.
Everything teemed to escape you. One touch
of personal si mouthy would have pushed you
Into the kingdom of God. When ou commu
nion dny your friends went in aud your sous
and daughters wont Into the church you hur
led your face In your Handkerchief aud
sobbed; “Why am I left out? Kvorylody
seems to get saved but me. No man cares
. . it
for my soul.”
Ui Mikiin lo a revelation 1 havetomaiio. It
is a stnrtl'nx Hlalcmont. It will o surprise
you licit I must prove It ai I go u. Instead
of ll>'. total Iniltfferencs all about you, in re
gard to vour soul, 1 have to tell ym that
heriVen, earth, and h3ll are after vour im
morlal spirit. Earth to cheat It. Ilell to de
stroy It. Heaven 10 redeem it. Allhough you
may be a stranxer to tlie Christian* In this
bouse, their fanes would glow and tbotr
heart*, would bound if they taw >Oll make use
step heavenward. 80 Intricate and tar
reaching Is this wsbuf sympathy thal 1 could
by one word rouse a great many prayers in
your behalf. No one cares for your soul 1 Why,
one signal of distress on your part would
thrill this audience with holy excitement. If
a boat in any harbor should got in distress,
from the men of war, and from the sloop, and
from the steamers, the flyiug paddles would
pull to the rescue. And It now, you would lift
one signal of distress, all these voyagers of
eternity would bear down towar I you and
bring you relief. But no. >ou arc like a
ship on fire at sea. They keep the hatches
down, and the captain is frenzied, and ho
gives orders that no one bail tho passing
ships. lie says: “1 shall either land this
vessel iu Hamburg or on iho bottom of the
ocean, and 1 don't care which.” Yonder is a
ship of the White Star Hue passing. Youdor
one of the National line. Yonder one of the
Ctinitrd line. Yonder one of tho Inman line.
But they know not there is any calamity bap
peningon that one vessel. Oh, if the captain
would only put Ills trumpet to his lip aud cry
out: “Lower your boats! Bear down this
way! We are burning up! Fire! Fire!”
No; no. No signal is given. If that vessel
perishes, having hailed no one, whose fault
will it be? Will it be the fault of tho ship
that hid Its calamity, or will it be the fault of
the vessels that, passing on the high seas,
would have been glad to furnish relief if it
had been on’y asked? In other words, tny
brother, if you miss heaven it will he your
own fault,’
No one care for your so.il 1 Why in all the
ages there have been men whose entire busi
ness was soul-saving. In this work, Munson
went down under ttio knives of tho cannibals
whom he had come to save, nnd Robert Mc-
Cbeyno preached him-eif to death by thirty
years ot age, and John Banyan was thrown
into dungeon tu Bedfordshire, and Jchuiii
Ash matt endured all the malarias of the
African jungle; and there are hundreds and
thousands of Christian men and women now
who arc praying, tolling, preaching, living,
dying to save souls.
Nooneoare for your soul! Have you heard
how Christ feeis about it? I know it was only
live or six miles from Bethlehem to Calvary
—the birthplace and the death-place of
Che’*!—but who can tell how many miles it
was from the throne to the manger? How
many miles down, how many miles bait,
again? The place of His departure was the
focus of all splendor and pomp. All tho
thrones l'aciug His throne. Ilis mime
the chorus in every song and the inscription
on every banner. His landing-place u.
cattle pen. malodorous with unwashed
brutes, and dogs growling in and out. of the
stable. Born of a weary mother who lmd
journeyed eighty miles in severe un
health that she might find the right place for
tho Lord’s nativity—born, not as other
princes, under the flash of a chandelier, but
under a lantern swung by a rope to Lite roof
of the barn. In that place Christ started to
save you. Your name, vour face, your line,
your eternity, in Christ’s mind. Sometimes
traveling on mule’s hack to escape old Her
od’* massacre, sometimes attempting uer
vous sleep on the chilly hillside, sometimes
earning his breakfast by tbe carpentry of a
plow. In Quarantania the stones of the
held, by the.r shape and color, looking like
the loaves of bread, tantalizing bis hunger.
Yet all the time keeping on after you. With
drenched coat treading the surf of Genessa
ret. Howled after by a bloodthirsty mob.
Denounced as a drunkard. Mourn
ing over a doomed city, while others
shouted at the sight of the shimmering
towers. All the time coming on and coming
on to save you. Indicted a* being a traitor
against the government, perjured witnesses
Bwearing their souls away to losure Ids
butchery. Flogged, spit on, slapped In the
lace amt then hoisted on rough lumber, in the
sight of earth, and heaven and hell to pur
chase your eternal emancipation. I rom the
llrst infant step to tho lust step of manhood
on the last sharp ot Calvary, ajourn v for
you. Oh, how he cared lor your soul! By
dolorous arithmetic add up tile stable, the
wintry tempest, the midnight dampness, the
abstinence of forty day* from food, the bruiai
Sanhedrim, the heights of Golgotha, across
which a!i tbe hatreds of earth, and all the
furies of hell charged witti their bayonet*,
and then dare to say again that uo one cares
for your soul.
A young man might as well
go off from home and give his
lather and mother no intimation as to
where he has gone, and, crossing tlie seas,
sitting down in some foreign country, cold.
si< k, and huugry, snd lonely, saying: “Sly
father and mother don’t caro anything about
me.” Do not care anything about him!
Why. that father’s hair has turned gray since
his son went off. Ho has written to all the
Consuls 111 the loreign ports, asking about
that son. Does not the mother *are anything
about him ? He has broken ber heart She
haR never smiled since he weut away. All
day long, ana almost all night, she kcepsask
ing: “ Where Is be ? Where can he he ?” lie
is the first thought in her prayer and the lust
thought in her prayer—tne first thought in
the morning and the last at night. Rbe says:
“Oh God, bring back tny boy 1 I must see
him again before I die. Where is ne? I
must see him again before I die.” Oh, do
not his father and mother earn for him ? You
go away from your heavenly father, and you
think he does uot care for you because ,ou
will not even read tbe letters by which
he invites you to come hack, while all
heaven is waiting, and waiting and waiting
for you to return. A young man said to hm
father: “I am going off; I will write to you
at the end of seven vetus und toll you where I
am.” Many years have passed aiong since
that con went away, aud for years the father
lias been going to the depot 111 the Tillage, on
the arrival of every tram, aud when he hears
the whistle tn the distance lie is thrilled with
excitement, and he waits until ail thupassen
gers have come out, and theu he wai-s until
the traiu has gone clear our. of sight again,
and then he goes home, hastening hack to the
next train; aud he will lie at every train un
til ilia l son comes hack, unless tne son watts
until the father he dead. But on the crosier
patience ot God. Hebasbee. wailing for you
not seven years, noi nine years,but forsome *d
'fou twenty years,thirty > cars, forty year-, lift y
years waiting, calling waiting, calling,
until nothing Put omnipotent patience could
have endured it. Oh. my brother! do not
take tile sentiment of tny text as your senti
ment. We do care for your soul One Sab
bath night years ago. in my church in Brook
lyn, a young man appeared al tne end of ihe
platform, and he said to me: “f have Jur.t
dome off the sea.” I said: “When did you
arrive?” said he: “I cuma into port tins
afternoon. Iwa 111 a great ‘blow’ off Cape
Hatteras this laat week and I thought that I
might as woli go to heaven as to hell. I
thought the ship would sink, but. sir, 1 never

Christ is able and willing to save "Oh,
yes,” he replied, "I do ” "H eli,” 1 said, “now
aro vou willing to come and be saved by
Him?” “Jam,” he saul, “Well, win you
now. In the prayer we are about to offer, give
yourseil'to God lor time and eternity?” “I
will,’ he said. Then we knelt in prayer and
after wo got through praying, he told me
that, the great transformation had takeu

sea now. tdo not know what other port he
may gain or lose, but 1 think he will g*iu the
harbor of Heaven.
“Starof peace, beam o’er tho billow,
Bless tlie soul ihat icgiis for Time ;
Bless the sailor’s lonely pillow,
Fur, far at sea.”
It wss sudden conversion wilh lum that

Ged’e Hpirlt is infinite in speed. lie culms

here and now, Instantaneously and for ever,
to save ymr soul. I believe mat a multitude

Tour famine* and your frionds with you.
They have hoard In heaven already of tho

who will reject this Gospel Ho will stay out

A young man, at the close of a religious
service was asked to decide the matter of
In* soul’s salvation. He said: “I will not do
It 10-nlght." Well, tlie Christian man kept
talking with him, snd he said: “1 Insist
that to-night yon elthar t*ke God or reject

Eloquent. Tributes to tlie Sleeping
Leader ol'ilie American Pulpit.
New York, March 20.—Among other
utterances by Rev. Robert (Jotlyer in tho
course o!' his sermon to-day upon Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, at the church of
the Messiah, were these: “Since tuo
death of Luther, 210 years ago, the death
ot uo man iu sacred cilice tias so touched
the hearts of nations. Though ho was 73
years of age, no one looked noon biui
as old. He was tbe groat
leader of tho American pulpit,
and no 0110 in this age, savo
the grand old man 111 Euglaod, had
so muon enthusiasm, courage aud ability
for the work be had to do. His theology
was as broad as the world Itsctf. it was
not theology bound with iron band ribs
as they would bind at. Brtnoeton and
Andover—that te all well enough for those
who love such bondage—because
Beecher was not, bound with bonds made
by man, and because of ms noble work
for humanity all these years. 1 thank
God that ho was not a systematic theolo
gian, hut just the groat free
reasoncr, we knew bun to
be. He needed the whole republic first
for his growth, and then the whole planet
lor his ripening. He was not ot flower
pot growth. He was a plant, in the great
woods. As well might they seek to con
fine Niagara in a flower pot. Ho was not
the slavo of system, but God’s tree man.
Greenwood is now as sacred as Ml. Ver

NEW “FaDa” oF FASHION.
A Fachet Powder Worn Around
tlie Wuisf, of 1 lie Dress.
New York, March 19.—A decided In
novation Is to Lave, between the dress
waist and tbe lining, sachet powder; in
tact, the whole waist oi tbe dress serves
as one large sachet. While this may
malic tbe dress a little heavier, and con
sequently add to its warmth, it Is just
what is needed for winter weather. Even
ing dresses aro also treated in this way.
Violet seems to be the favorite odor. The
other day i attended a performance of
opera a< the Metropolitan Opera House.
! noticed several young ladies took tiny
silver boxes irom their pockets occa
sionally tuul bent over them. Wbaldid
they moat'? 1 thought they looked some,
what like a diminutive snuffbox. Can it
he possible that tbe habit of taking snuff
is to be revived J And by our prottiest
girls too; but tney were not taking snuff
as they bent over tbeir pretty sllvev
boxes. They were bontionnlers, and held
either candy, sugared flag root or lovage.
Girls ull like cunilios. snd a pretty re
ceptacle for this luxury Is duly appreoi
uted by tne dear girls that never enjoy
any thine oTau entertainment where they
can’t crunch candy. But these little
bonbonulers ore very useful at times.
Even belles occasionally eat onions or
some other artiole of food with an excep
tional odor, and caobous, or in case of a
cold, troches, may be carried In these tiny
silver receptacles. They also sorve as a
novel and. uot too expensive gift to one
another.
Young ladles are wearing genuine
scotch caps on tbeir beads, and they are
notouly warm and attractive, but are
proof against the high winds, which are
tbe worst things for high bats. No one
looks graoe>uT scurrying through tho
street, after a hat that has been rudely
torn from her bead. Tbe possibility of
this Is u greater argument against high
hr..* than all tbe raiiiog against their ob
structing tbe view at tne theatres.
