SAM S MAL L A COMMUNIST,
He Explains What the word
Means in its Highest Sense.
Faneull Hall was packed a( noon
yesterday with men eager to Hear
Rev. Sam Small. Before the str
mon Rev. L. B. Bates, of East Bos
ton announced that the committee
had received a great many letters
from people who had been converted
under the preachings of the evange
liscs.
Mr. Smali’s sermon was substanti.
oily as follows: I shall speak to you
today from. Acts iv., £*2. Please take
in its full significance: “and the
multitude of them that belieued were
of one will oae sold.” I am a Com¬
munist and a Socialist. I hope I
shall offend no one in mrking that
statement. If I were to say I was a
demagogue, speaking politically, you
would take it that I meant a man of
chameleon like character, who took
the color of ni# opinions and actions
for the things dependent upon them
for the moment. You might think
I Was a shuttlecock that-might be
bandied about so long as I kept my
self in the air. The original word
demagogue meant something high
pure, grand, noble and self sacrificing
The original demagogue was a man
who bad sympathy for his people,
and had also the manhood, grit and
nerve to stand up and voice the
truth in any presence. When I say
I am a Communist and Socialist 1
don’tmean the low, groveling, unjust
beings who consider it right to di¬
vide among themselv cs every mans ***“-**'-’
property and outrage puhlio—ianrn
orde'r and decency* I am a commu¬
nist in the highest seas© of the word
and by that I mean in this sense that
Jesus Christ was a Communist. I am
a communist in the sense the apostles
were Communists. I believe in the
proper kind ox communism, the com¬
munism of heart and soul that makes
every man a brother. I believe, in
the communism that means love an il
sympathy and brotherly kindness
[Applause - ]. Laboring men are talk¬
ing about running (he government
of the country. I say if the laboring
men of this country would put into
force and effect the principles of Je
sus Christ, I pray God they may
succeed. But if you. only want to
change one class legislation for
another, I pray God yon may not
succeed. Henry George has recog¬
nized in the pres*, what it is in real¬
ity, the mighty engine of progress,
and he has started a newspaper to
propagate his doctrines, George has
had experience in journalism. He
learned progress in listening to the
throbbing of pi esses, and poverty
while eating attic salt in the sanctum
[Laughter]. I know all about it for
I have had a similar experience. But
for any kind of socialism to succeed
and be of any value to this earth it
must be founded upon the principles
of Jestts Christ. The principles of
love, kindness, virtue and brotherly
sympathy 13 the kind of communism
he taught, and that is the kind of so¬
cial elevation the people need to-day
It is a common thing to hear people
saj that The churches are for the
xich, and the poor are not wanted in
them; but instead of invading the
gilded dome on the Capitol at Wash¬
ington, yon should invade the
churches of this country. Go to the
churches take them bv storm, incul
nat* in them the teachings •£ Jesus
Christ* anil turq the hypocrites out,
[Applause], Every one ot u» that
M burden#*! with them will thunk
youioj U. [Laughter]. Talk about
y*»i when w# have got the sytiu
pathy that g#es with races. Talk r
about sympathy when we have the
sympathy of this great family that
makes the American nation. Why,
we have sympathy enough in this
nation, to make it a nation such as
Christ would have it, a nation filled
.with earthly love and communion of
spirit. We have the power and the
opportunity in this country to be¬
come not only practical workingmen
and practical Americans, but we can
also become practical Christians. I
am optimist tnongh to believe it to
be possible of accomplishment.—Pos¬
ton Herald.
RICH WITHOUT MONEY.
Many a man is rich without money
Thousands of men with nothing in their
pockets, and thousands with a good
sound constitution, a good heart and
good limbs, and a pretty good head
piece, aie rich. Good bones arc better
than gold, tough muscles better than
silycr, and nerves that flash fiie and car¬
ry energy to every function, are better
than houses and land. It is belter than
landedestate to have the right kind of
fitther and mother. Good breed and
bad breed exist among men as really
as among herds and horses. Education
may c oynucli to check evil tendencies,
or to develop good ones, but it is good to
inherit the right proportiun of facultie 8
to start with. That man is rich who
has a flavor of wit and fun in his com¬
position. The hardest tiling to get
along with in this life is a man's own
self. A cross, solfish, fellow, a desponds
ing and complaining fellow, a timid
care-burdened man—these are ail de¬
formed on the inside. Their feet may
not limp, but their thoughts do. A man
of fortune, on the brink of tLe grave
part wU ir-tircry ' donor -to
obtain a longer lease of life—House¬
hold.
PLEASURES.
The highest, the best, the most
permanent pleasures, are those which
are not sought, but which come from
tho faithful fullfilment of life’s duties
and obligations. Indeed, the search
after pleasure in any direction is al
ways'fruitless; because it implies a
condition of mind to which enduring
happiness is a stranger. Selfishness
and enjoyment may do well together
a brief season, but - the latter will
soon wither away undei the scorch¬
ing influence af the formor. It is by
recognizing and respecting fhe qual¬
ity of pleasure rather than its quan¬
tity, its kind rather than its degree,
its source rather than itself, that we
learn to appreciate the truth that (he
purest and most enduring happlnes is
but the natural effect of the wisest,
worthiest and most noble life, and is
always inseparable from it.—Coluvn
bus Enquirer.
The Washington Post has tbo follow¬
ing which is very aptly put: “iience
forth the south will be a potential unit
among the great people of the world
It wili divide production with the North
and rapid growth with the West Shef
field and Birmingham will he followed
by other hives of enterprise, and mis
cellaneous manufactures and commerce
will re-iaforce a monotenous agriculture.
Emigration has turned thither, and no
part of the world is moie full of prom¬
ise.”

ELECTRIC POWER ON TAP.
Curious Machines moved by au
Ordinary Electric Current.
The electricians seem to be eon
spiring to bring all the forces of na¬
ture into a man’s house, where
will be on tap for ns# as wanted,
They already furnish light to be
called info being with the turn of a
thumbscrew; they bring the butcher
and baker, friends and business rela¬
tions to speak into the car from a
distance, and last night the Ameri¬
can Institute of Electrical Engineers
tcok up the subject of “small mo¬
tors,” by which they propose to ia
troduce by use of electrical wires
power to run all sorts of small ma¬
chines.
Mr. Schuyler S. Wheeler of the
C A C motor company, presents a
paper on tho subject* in which he
commented on the lack #f attention
heretofore given to this wide and
practical field for electrical develop¬
ment, particularly where steam is
not obtainable or desirable. After
describing the methods for overcom¬
ing tho difficulties inherent in lbe
problem, he lllust.iated the solution
of it with some very interesting ex¬
periments.
The ordinary electric light burner
was taken from the wire, just as it
came for illuminating purposes, in
the diningroom of Cable's rest uranf
where ths meeting was hold, and
the motor attached.in place of the
light. With the power thus obtain¬
ed from the Edison incandescent
light current he set in motion, with
force sufficient in each cage fer prac
tW vewitm, 1 tm,», sowing machines
elevators, dental lafhes and various
small tools, such as one would ordi¬
narily use iu a house. Other motors
a variety of which were exhibited,
were run by small primary batter
ries and similar results obtained. It
was said that already from five to
six thousand of these motors were
in successful operation in this coun¬
try.
Enthusiastic electrician* believe
that the practical utility ot the in¬
visible wizard of the wire is only in
its infancy, and that som# day man¬
kind will dispense with horses lor
their carriages, as well as with small
boys for errands, and will say, “John
turn on the battery.” when they
want to drive in tho Park.—New

Choice of a given list of articles al¬
lowable in a given case must be deci¬
ded by the opinion of the stomach.
The stomach it right, and the theory

no appeal. A diet which would keep
a h#althy man healthy, might kill a

his tastes and if the stomach rejects
a certain article do not force it.,—

INSTEAD OF BEING HANGED.
NEW MODI' OF INFLICTING OAP1TAL
PUNISHMENT.
Some New York physicians think
that improvements in hanging are
urgently needed. They want to
make the (loath penalty easy, pleas¬
ant and delightful. Electricity has
been proposed by them for capital
punishment, and the Legislature yes¬
terday considered a bill to substitute
the electric battery ior the hang¬
man’s rope
An electrician at the Edson build¬
ing in pearl street, where electricity
is manufactured for illuui.nating
p urposes, was yesterday asked how
people might be killed with neatness
and dispatch by electricity. He said
that it was the easiest,matter in the
world. All a condemned man
would have to do at tho hour ami
moment when he was to leave the
world for orighter climes, would
be to take hold of two wires, one
connected with a positive battery
and the other with a negative Wit
teiy. Acting thus as a conductor
between the two wires the electrici¬
ty would go through him like a
stroke of lightning. He would die
in an infinitesimal fraction of a **c
ond. llis taking off would bo as
painless as it was sadden. He would
never know what had hit him.
He might stand ou two plate*,
receive the electric current through
Ins toes and die with his boots on.
He might sit in a chair with his feet
resting on the plates and die com¬
fortably.
KiLliug the conderunuid by elec¬
tricity is a humane, civilized and
scientific way of disposing of them.
A man is usually sixteen minutes in
dying at the end of a hangman’s
lope, uul be usually suffers a great
deal before death comes to relieve
him. A one-cell battery would kill
all the prisoners who will ever be
hail god in the Tombs under the pres¬
ent law. The only people opposed
to the use of electricity in capital
punishment are the hangmen, and
iliey are opposed to i.t because it
would throw them ont of work, if
the gallows arc taken down all the
iiangraenin the country will strike,

ONE SHOT SINKS A SHIP.
The new gun for the use of which
subject to the approval of tho Secro
of the Navy, Congress has appropri¬
ated the sum of 1350,000, to be ap¬
plied to the construction of a vossei
which will carry three of them, will
carry a four hundred pound projec¬
tile, is twelve and one half inch cal¬
ibre and 50 feet in length, and will
be operated by compressed air,thc ex¬
treme length of the gun being neccs
saiy to secure greater speed for the
projectile, as tho air continues to ae
celento its motion from the breech
t* the muzzie. Tliero will b# a bat¬
tery of three of these guns, trained
on the perpendicular, for the vessel
which carries them will never oxposo
her broadside to an enemy. She
will steam ou, and then if necessary
retire to load without turning, so that
she will never present much of a
mark to bs fired at, and e*eh gun tail
be loaded and worked by a single
man.
The explosive agent to be used
iu this gun is nitro-gelatine or nitro¬
glycerine gelatinized. It will be
placed in a steel projcfiilo eleven
feet in length. As a fuse could not
be used without prematurely ex¬
ploding tho projectile, and percuss
sion is hazardous, electricity is used
for exploding it, a battery being
placed in the point of the projectile,
which produces a spark by concussion
or by the notion of water on a sen
silized surface, whilo at tho other
end of the projectile is a knob which
answers the purposo of a rudder and
steer# it with tho greatest accuracy.
From the experiments which have
been made at Fort Lafayctto with one
of these guns it Is found that the
nitro-gclatiuo can be fired two miles
with precision, and with no risk to
those handling it as tho air gun gen¬
erates no beat. It will, in fact throw
a projectile of tho same relative pro¬
portions two-thirds as far as a rifled
cannon. It has great advantage, alio
of making no noiie or smoke so that
no attention would bo called to its
discharge from a vesicl or a shore
battery. Its adaptability t« field op
oration is also established as it is
found that guns arc perfectly prac¬
ticable which will throw from ton
to twenty pound of nitro-gelatine
the distance of a mile.
3 uch in snbstanca are tho general
characteristics of tho new explosive
and the gun which fires it. Its dead
ly ohects have been so well demon¬
strated that naval oxports did not
hesitate to say that ouo ot these pro¬
jectiles, striking her amjdsbip, would
destroy any vessol afloat and
ouo on board of her. This is suffici¬
ently destructive, to say the least and
it brings up tho interesting question
bow long war could last if all natious
wore supplied with it, and if the re¬
sult of tho struggle tvero simply de¬
pendent in the alertness of ono enomy
in firing his nitro-gelatine first. A
combat of this sort, where a single
shot can destroy tlie most poweHul
vossei and till on board, raze a forti¬
fication to the ground or if used in
the field blow a whole regiment to
kingdom come would not bo a very
desirable cue. fetrategctic anmeWvors
w«u'd be supplanted by wbolesa^
slaughter and it is questionable nbetb
er men could be found willing to
march to certain death. The new
