New York, July 20—la a recent con versat ou Edmund Clare ice 8 edman re marked that tne s vial and other demand* upon his time outside of mere busineis en gagi-ment* had assumed with! i a few years such a magnitude that he could hardly say that his time was his own any longer. “During tie last half-dozen and more years,” said Mr. Stedman, “my correspond ence has grown to snch an extent that if I should a: t;mpt to do it, it wouli be simply i npossiblo for tne t) ais ver informally in p-rsoa one-quarter of the letters that I re ce.ve, note By from persons in t iis coun try, but tuo e reuidi lg abr iad.

Hernel ot tho Red F rsst church created a sensatiou last Suaday morning. His serin >n to a large congregation was en tirely unax acted, and the pastor’s impas sioned words will bo the subjact of talk for months to ome. After reading a portion of Gen. xxxviii. the pastor proceeded to ineak upon tho sin of the woman “Tamar.” lie said: “The unwomanlv act of Tamar wn* a sin then iu the sig tof G and, ands ich cond ict n w is equally asm. Chi istian people abhor all the modern Tamas. If a woman wants ti be wedd and, sue must tike no part in offering liers-lf t < any man. The man m st first no.e her virtues and her go and qualities and she will be oug t fir ii due season. But I have a different thing to speak of t -day. What shall I say of a woman, a single woman, who has been widowed for a few years, who s.-ts a trap i. . a-. . erly man aid finally ensnares hi ni You know a little of the iruih, and j’ou must now know it all. The tuna has come when tie 'ins ot two of our people must bo publicly exposed. If they have no sname wuuin them, they must be shamed by the docent people of this congregation, rhey are sitting, even now, in our mi Ist, a id I do not hesitate to expo*? their wicked ness The woman to whom I efer disguised herself and went up the hill toward town. She tarried along the road until dusk, knowing a certain man would pass that way on his ho re ward journey. He c cue, saw the woman, he coquetted, he k ew her not; they be came familiar, and together they si meJ, an J they fell like i'ama aud Judah of old. They separated, and the next morning tha man’s silver w. tch chain wa* gone. It had an nid charm contain! <g tho hair < f his dead wife. The charm "as gone. M >nths name aud went, an 1 you ail know the scandal that came from the cottaire on the hiilt p yonder. Like a thunder clap iu a clear sky it came. Who had -iutied with the woman( Tuere must boa father. Tue woman confessed, but the man lemed It says in script ire tnat Judah commanded Tamar to be intoned for lying, ad this ii.an threatened to cast her into prison for sander. Tamar produced the staff, and bracelets, and then Judah acknowledged all. Our modern Tamar pr and iced the chain and c. arra, but our modern J..d ih said he had lost ihem on the ro.d, and that the woman found them, and was now using them to blackmail him. But, my hearers, the woman toils the truth! Late last eveni,ig, she was offered SIOO lor llie c. ai.i and toe charm hy & strange nan who caiue to her dour. She refused, suAuChi-il off ms false beard, and 1 ! before her stood this m idem J dau, ami t ere were witnesses who saw it ail. This siDful woman has t Id me every word, and has allowed me to tell the truth liefore our wi,ole congregation that she alone bo not blamed, but tha: all the guihy, rich and poor a.ike, might suffer togetner.” When t.,e pa tor had co eluded he dis missed the cougi egatiou at once amid the most intense excitement. No "names wre mentioned, but all present kuew w o was inea .t. i iie old farmer, who was accused, moved sulLnly to his carriage and drove away with ut a w rd. The woman took •~e back tah up ihe hill alone. Public sympathy ie with her. There is to be a con gregational meeting eoou to take the matter iii hand, bat there is a rumor that the old man will marry the woman. If be does, it is likely the subject will be dropped, and the church will do what it can to raise ten onoe more into taror among the congrega tion. Bless Their Economical -souls. From the Washington Post A eery charming lady wno lives out in lowa was receutl • c ' sen tore;>ond to the s , “The (Tantieme t," at a tu per to be gi.eu in her city. Ou y a few days’ notice was given to her and she feared sne e ul i not do the subject justice In that time. But she ha-1 a lady friend in Washington in wrote ability she had full confidence, eo she telegraphed to her to help her out. Now, the women—blese thsir economical a uls—are, as you know, always desiroui to bring their telegrams within ten words, so thi< one wrote a id scratched and pruned ad trimmed until this is wTiat her message Anally became. "Gentlemen. Send a brief response to it by next mail.” That seemed to her to be clear enough, and so it was. But by the time it reacned Washington, however, it had undergone a cha .ge—the least speck of a change, to be sure, but a cha igs, nevertheless. It read: "Gentlemen send a brief response to it by next mail." Now it was the Washington lady’s turn. She might have sent a telegra n asking what it meant, bu>—bless he.' economics* soul, too—sh> didn’t. She just gaoup everyth! ig else and sat and read and po i dsrel and did her level best to inwardly digest. "Gentlemen send a brief response to i’ by next mail,” she read until she knew it by heart. Then she ordered a carriage that cost $2 an hour and spent the afterno n going among her frie uls a id working them into all sort of terrible suspicions ab ut it. 1' at event g she missel her dinne —forgot it while working ou‘the deep aid awful mystery of tho<e dreadful gentlemen who ’ere -'dag 1 1 se.i 1 *s i one to "it.” what ever "it” m gat be, by the next mail—for g t h*r dinner and had a hopping hea l che half tne night. When she lost herself in fitful sleep great bands of ge itleman appealed liefore her in her dreams— with w.usiers, gantleinen.without whiskers, gentlemeo with one eye each iu tne mid lie of the forehead, ge dlemeu with six legs like spiders, gentle ne wi h brief responses on their s.iouldert instead of heads, gentle men who came in by the next mail an i evaporated, gentlemen w o cnanged into cr>o idiles while she wa; look ng at them. It was adrealful night that p ior woman passed on acc >u it of those ten words of teleg aphic myst-ry. Nsxt morning sis felt as if the whole thing had been a dream. She bi: her fi iger and assured herself she was awake. Tuen >he found her poc.et—w lie i, by tae way, was a retty gocd pisce of a netuer detect ive work—a id drew out the telegram. Tuere it was just as it had been thj and ly be fore—not a syila le changed—“ Gentle neu send a brief rejponf- to it by next mail.” S e s ient 50 cents for a p istul g ltde and another 50 cent fo a railway guide. She hoped to learn when the next mail would arrive from lowa, hut of course she didn’t. Better mathe atieiaus than she n ve .aid down railway guides lth just sense enough left to lay tuem down. But why vex the s ul of the reader with ali that vexed this pjr woman's s ml? For three long, weary weeks she struggled a id guggled and ruggled over that telegra n until sue bega i 1 1 drool aud ner frie ids bega i to wonder wnother she was too in curable to fit the incuraole word. Finally a letter came from lowa. There was very little in tne letter—just a brief n te, it was—but there waj a postcript longer than t.isoue, and at the end of it was a paragraph, saying: "1 auf glad you didn’t send that response to the blast of ‘The Gentlemen,’ for we have concluded not to have the supper and l am so glad th t you didn’t trouble yourself about, it.” MKDIUAo Tates, Tho Chief BeMon for the marrellons suc cess of Hood’s Sarsaparilla is found in the fart that this medicine actually accomplishes all that Is claimed for It.
