Troops Under Arms.
Buenos Ayres, Feb. 15.—Owing to
rumors of a fresh revolutionary plot, the
government has placed all troops under
arms. The streets are patrolled by cavalry.
FOSTER UNDER FIBB.
Foraker’e Friends Deny Hla Fitness ter
the Secretaryship.
Washington, Feb. 10.—The thirty days
prescribed by congress within which the
President must select Secretary Windoru’s
successor will not expire until a week from
next Saturday, but congress adjourns on
the Wednesday following,and ti o President
desires his new Secretary of the T reasury to
be confirmed before he begins his services.
He is expected-to send in his nomination not
later tbau Wednesday of next week. It is
not expected before Wednesday of this week,
bat it is now generally understood that the
President could send it in to-morrow if ha
would and that he is delaying simply be
cause he always likes to leave his appoint
in.nts “in soak’ 1 awhile before announcing
them.
FOSTER’S ORDEAL.
Ex-Gov. Foster, who is generally sup
posed to be the coming (Secretary of the
Treasury, has passed through an extraor
inary ordeal since the time his name waa
first mentioned in this connection. Men of
his own party, including, if not ex-Gov.
Foraker himself, many of Foraker’s friends,
have poured into the white house all kinds
of charges affecting ex Gov. Foster’s career,
both in business and in politics, ot which
the chief were, first, that he was a Stan
dard Oil man; second, that he was a rail
way wrecker and then that he was a politi
cal trickster.
HARRISON INVESTIGATES THEM.
The President, it is stated, has patiently
investigated every one of the charges, call
ing m the asiistance of men in congress and
elsewhere who ought to know, and has sat
isfied himself that the charges are all un
founded, and that if they should be made
public they can be proved to be unfounded.
Ex-Gov. Foster is expected daily to see the
President.
FRBE COINAGE CHANCES.
The Democrats of the Committee
Favor Reporting- the Bill.
Washington, Feb. 15.—The Senate free
coinage bill will be reported to the House
this week, probable by Wednesday next, if
that result depends upon the votes of the
anti-free coinage democrats on the com
mittee. The demoorate will take this
course, believing that it is right to permit
the House to consider the bill and
wrong to smother it in committee when
they believe that a majority of the House
favors tbe bilL They will reserve to them
selves the right, however, to oppose the bill
on the flo tof the House, and give their
reasons why they think free coin
age is questionable, if not dangerous
to the business interests of tbe
country. Under these circumstances the
only way to prevent the consideration of
the bill will be for Speaker Reed to inter
fere in some ways. This is what he is plan
ning to do, but the time now Is so short
that the bill has practically no chance of
getting to the President.
R3SADY FOB THE FRAY.
The Plana of the Democratic Campaign
Committee.
Washington, Feb. 15.—“ The congres
sional democratic committee will oontinue
its organization until anew one shall be
elected,” said Chairman Roswell P: Flower
to-day, “and I hope to be ready to an
nounce the details before long. There has
been a great deal of interest manifested
in the subject of tbe organization
throughout the country since the question
was agitated and we are promised the
cordial support of the state and local com
mittees. We shall have headquarters in
Washington and co-operate with the state
committees to the extent of our ability.
Whatever help we can properly give in
state elections this year will be given.”
COVINGTON TO THB SEABOARD.
The Prompt Completion of the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic Counted On.
Covington, Ga., Feb. 15. Col. Mike
Brown, president; W. C. Clark of Coving
ton, and E. C. Machen, directors of the Sea
board company, met here for the purpose of
adjusting all olaims against the Georgia
Improvement and Manufacturing Com
pany, with the ulterior purpose of the
prompt completion of tbe building
of the Middle Georgia and Atlantic
railroad from Savannah to Atlanta.
All claims were represented, and upon a
full hearing of each a satisfactory adjust
ment was reached. The people of Coving
ton were greatly interested in the oonfer
enoe. Its happy conclusion Insures the
early completion of the road. The company
formed for its construction is a sound
oue financially, and will be managed and
controlled by somo of the best and most suc
cessful business msn of Savannah, Coving
ton and Barnwell, S. C. Cov
ington has long needed another
road. This not only gives competition, but
puts the town m direot communication
with the seaboard, affording splendid facil
ities for shipping cotton direct to the port.
It will also place the town in direct com
munication with the lumber section of
Georgia. ________________
FIRS IN A HOSPITAL.
All the Inmates Escape and Most of
the Furniture Saved.
Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 15.—At 11:20
o’clock to-night the night watchman at St.
Mary’s hospital discovered that the eastern
wing of the hospital was on fire. A general
alarm was sent in and tbe fire
men responded promptly. There were
250 patients, nineteen iuiis and a large
number of employes in the buiilding, but so
far as is known all wore taken out un
harmed. There is a fair prospect of saving
the greater part of the furniture. The east
wing was totally destroyed, and the entire
building practically ruined before the fire
men gained oontrol of the flames.
Elizabeth’s Zouaves et Charleston.
Charleston, S. C., Feb. 15.—The Vet
eran Zouaves of Elizabeth, N. J., arrived
here this afternoon at 4 o’clock. They were
met at tbe station by tbe field and staff of
the Fourth brigade of state troops and by
the German Fusiliers, Capt. H. Bchachte
of the First regiment of state troops, one of
the oldest military companies in the United
States, having served in the revolutionary
war. A thousand civilians were at the
station and thronged the sidewalk. The
city Is gaily decorated with buntings. The
Zouaves will to-morrow fire on the ram
parts of Fort Sumter.
A Jewish Alliance.
Philadelphia, Feb. 15.—1n a spirit of
charity, fellowship and brotherly love, the
Jewish Alliance of America, with its ob
ject alleviation of existing distress among
the Hebrews, especially those now suffering
under the ban of the Czar of Russia, by tbe
formation and maintenance of Jewish farm
colonies in the west, was organized.
Spain's Senatorial Election.
Madrid, Feb. 15.—The returns so far

IVHAT STEEL RAILS COST.
TBE SHOWING FOB THIS COUNTRY
AND EUROPE.
Dixie Abie to Turn tbe Cre Out
Cheaper Than the North—England
Only a Trifle Below the South in
Cost-Steel Rails Produced Cheaper
Abroad.
Washington, Feb. 15.—The President
has transmitted to congress the repart of
Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor,
on the cost of the production of steel and
steal rails. The inquiry was directed by
the aot establishing the department, with a
view to ascertaining the cost of producing
articles dutiable in the United States in the
leading countries where such articles are
produced, by units of production, in order
to show the differences in the cost of pro
duction between this country and Europe
and the possible bearing of these differences
on tariff ru es.
The report oovers three features: First,
relating to the cost of production of the
articles selected; second, relating to the
rates, wagos, time, earnings and efficiency
of the labor employed; and third, relating
to tbe oose of living and total earnings and
expenditures of tbe men employed.
Col. Wright was able to obtain facts from
018 establishments manufacturing various
kinds of iron and steel or its more finished
products.
the south versus the north.
For the purposes of tbis report, Col.
Wright has divded the United States into
two districts, “northern" and “southern.”
A comparison of the cost of the materials
used In the northern and southern districts
of the United States shows that the differ
ence in favor of the south in tbe cost of ore
and of coal is vary great, although; the dif
ference, so far as this is ooncerned, is par
tially offset by the comparatively higher
price of iron in tbe northern district.
The ore used in the nor .hern district costs
per ton an a\erage of 14.4J1; cinder, scrap,
eta, <2.631; limestone, 70.8 cents: coke, *.804
and coal, $2,605.
The cost in tbe southern district for ore is
$1,513; cinder, scrap, etc., $1,031; lime
stone, 70.01 cents; coke, $8,084; and ooal,
$1,566.
COST OP PIG IRON.
Tho report shows tho total cost of one
ton of pig iron, from the mining of the ma
terial to the finished point in thirteen estab
lishments in the northern district, five in
the southern and one in Great Britain.
In the northern district the direct
cost of the labor in tbe production
of Bessemer iron range from
$3 70 to $9 44: for officials and clerks, from
17% cents to 51 cents; supplies, repairs and
taxes, from $1 69 to $5 32; transportation
to the point where used, from (1 69 toss 32;
difference between tho foregoing actual
costs and the oost* as oharged to toe blast
furnaces, from $1 10 to $5 06. The totals
therefore range from sl3 97 per ton to
sl6 sff
In the southern district the oosts p°r ton
of the run of the furnace range as fellows;
Direct labor, $4 32 to $7 59; officials and
clerks, 18 cents to 45 cents; supplies,
repairs and taxes, 66 cents to $1 29; trans
portation to points where used, 36 cents to
$1 55; difference between the foregoing
and the oosts as charged bv tho blast fur
nace, 21 oeuts tos3 07. The totals there
fore ranged from $9 16 per ton to $lO 61.
In one establsibment in Great Britain the
total oost of these elements per ton is $lO 21.
COST OP STEEL RAILS.
The table shows the results of inquiries as
to the cost of producing steel rails in thir
teen establishments, two of them being in
tbe United States, eight on the continent
of Europe and three in Great Britain. In
the United States the net cost of the ma
terials was s2l 10 at one establishment, and
$25 11 at the other. The cost of labor was
$1 54 and $3 33. Thus tbe total cost at
one was $24 79, nnd $27 68 at the other.
On the continent, the net cost of the ma
terials varied sl7 60 to sl9 88; the cost of
labor from $1 02 to $4 64 per ton.
In three establishments in Great Britain
the net cost of the materials varied from
sl6 39 to $lB 05, and the coat of labor from
$1 30 to $2 54, The totals, therefore, varied
from *lB 58 to s2l 90.
WHY WE SHOULD BEAT THEM.
Col. Wright states that the labor cost in
a ton of steel rails, speaking of tbe labor
c'St after all the materials have been assem
bled and are ready to be subjected to the
proper manipulations for tbe production of
rails, should be less per ton, rela
tively, in this country than in Great Britain
or on the ooatinent of Europe, beo mse tbe
American producers of rails dispense with
at least one expensive procase still
adhered to by many foreign pro
ducers, and the materials in the
United States are purer than
those used iu most other countries. Hence
the quantity of ore required for the produc
tion of a ton of rails is less in tbis country
than in many places aDroad, and the labor
required to handle the materials in
tho raw to produoe a ton is less.
This is shown by tbe quanMies of
ore used in the different establiroments.
In one establishment given in the northern
district of the United States 4,137 pounds of
iron ore were necessary for the production
of one ton of standard rails, while in an
establishment in Great Britain 5,127 pounds
of iron ore were necassary for the produc
tion of one ton of practically the
same kind of rails; while on
the continent of Europe 5,701
pounds of ore were necessary for
the production of one ton of rails. T hese;
Col. Wright says, are far more indicative
of the true conditions surrounding the pro
duction of rails in tbe respective countries
than any of tbe others given. The entire
direct labor cost of production in these
three establishments was $1159 for tbe
United States. $7 81 for Great Britain, and
$8 10 for the continent of Europe, showing
a difference as against the United States of
$3 78 in favor of Great Britain and $3 49 in
favor of the continent of Europe.
COST OF TRANSPORTATION.
”In speaking of the transportation of steel
rails, the colonel says that In some cases the
heavy freight charged for transporting iron
and steel rails benefits American manufact
urers; m others it places them at a serious
disadvantage at ports where there Is water
competition with Eure peon manufacturers.
As an illustration of the practical workings
of the freight rates with reference to steel
rails, the report quotes the statement of the
manager of one of the largest
steel companies in the United States.
He said ~ the difference in the cst
of the production of steel rails
in Chicago, for instance, and in England
would not exceed $3 50 or $4 per ton, and
that the freight rate ($5 per ton) from Chi
cago to New York offered large protection
to his company.
average daily earnings.
As to the time the w orkmen are employed,
the report gives examples of daily averages
in this country and in Europe in pig iron
works. Tin average daily earnings of the
workmen in the northern district of the
United States varies from $1 47 to $2 03; in
the southern section from $1 22 to $1 34;
On the Continent of Europe from 64 cents
to 70 cents, and iu Groat Britain from 62
to 67 cents. In Great Britain and cn the
ontire it of Europe, however, the workmi n
are employed only about three months in
ths year.
efficiency or the labor.
As to the efficiency of the labor, CoL
Wright says that tycomparbon of tbe fig
ures shows that in pig iron in the northern
district of the United States forty-three of
the forty-five establishments have an
efficiency of .08 of a ton or more, one rang
ing as high as . 16 and under . 17, thirty-four
being concentrated in four groups that begin
with.oß, and end under .12; while in the
southern district of the United States 14 of
ths 21 have efficiency under .08 aud 7 above
this figure, five are under .10. In the
northern district for those of .08 and above,
the average earnings per man per hoar
range from .141-10 to 18 110, increasing
quite generally with tho increase of
efficiency, while those below .08 hevo
earnings from .11 1-10 to ,12 8-10. In Great
Britain 3 establishments are given, 2 of
which have a high efficiency, both being
between .12 and .14 ton aud "accompanied
by earnings of .09 and .10,while the remain
ing one, with an efficiency between.o7 aud
.08 ton, has earnings of but .05 8-10. The
five establishments for the continent of Eu
rope have an efficiency rather lower than
the northern distriot of the United States,
agreeing more nearly with the southern.
No connection between efficiency
and earnings is traceable in
them. The average earnings
per hour for workmen range in the north
ern district from 9 cents to 18 cents, in the
southern district from 11 cents to 13 cents,
in Europe from 4 cents to 5 cents and in
Great Britain from 5 cents to 10 cents per
hour.
LARCENY AFT HR TRUST.
Joe Hill Lodged In Jail at Retdsvllle on
a Serious Charge.
Reideville, Ga., Feb. 15.—Joe Hill, a
young man 25 or 30 yesrs of ago, was
brought to Reidsville on Feb. 13 by Messrs.
Easterling and Kennedy, having been ar
rested on a charge of “laroeny after trust
delegated.” The prisoner waived a prelimi
nary trial, and Is now In jail at this place,
and" will have to remain there until the next
sea-ion of the superior court convenes in
April. The following are Hill’s victims:
J. J. Easterling of Reidsville S2O, J. B.
Kennedy of Cobb Town, this county, S9O,
Mr. Kelley, a conductor on the Savannah
and Western railroad, 20; making a total
of $l2O Hill lifted from these three gen
tlemen.
The particulars are about as follows:
Not long sinoe Mr. Kennedy gave Hill $9 >
with request to register the tam- J
bat. it turned oat that Hill
rover registered any amount, but
applied it to his own use. But his next
score was with Mr. Easterling, presenting
to him a check, and not being ready to cash
the same Mr. Easterling loaned Hill S2O,
thinking of course that when tbe check was
cashed he would get his money,
but never saw HJll any more
till srrested. Cannot say how Hill man
aged the oonductor, but, suppose a similar
method to that practiced on Mr. Easterling.
Hill was arrested by W. V. Ewing on the
train at Collins’Station, Thursday night,
where he had secreted lii(ngJf iu the bag
gage car, having on iiis p*rw*u at the time
of arrest only $6 05. It stains that Hill
acted very foolishly, as he had ample time
to have mad 9 good his escape.

He Predicts Parnell's Defeat at the
General Election.
Dublin, Feb. 15.—Michael Davitt ad
dressed a meeting at Mountr.ath, Queens
county, to-day. Speaking on the
resolution expressing confidence in
Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Davitt denounced
the land purchase bill, declaring
that only au Irish parliament could ade
quately deal with the quostion. Neither
Mr. Parnell nor any of his followers, ho
said, would he returned at the general elec
tion, and the longer the controversy lasted
the more determined the Irish pe -
pie would become in their opposition lo
Mr. Parnell. Mr. Parnell’s followers,
he added, would regret the day they took
Mr. Parnell’s advice. The mention of Mr.
Parnell’s name waa received with cheers,
which caused so much disorder that the
police had to intervene and the crowd dis
persed in confusion.

witli hor husband, the late Thomas Jones,
she was one of the original settlers of

miserable shanties. She lived for over
fifty years at “Greenwood," a beautiful
home i,ear this city. There was reared a
largo family of children and in tho “good
old days before the war” Green wood was the
center of life and cayety. In the early
history of Thomasville travelers never stop
ped in the village, hut passed through and
spent the night at Tom Jones’. They were
always welcome, aud those were the days
which made for the southland its fame for
hospitality.
John W. Masury, the millionaire paint

a palatial winter home near tn is city. He
also owns the Masury house and has in

New York, Feb. 15. —Sarah Bernhardt’s
big Danish bound Myrtba made its first ap
pearance on any stage last night at the
Garden theater, to the great astonishment
of the audience, wbo were watching the
first act of “La Tosca," It seems that the
actress keeps the dog in her dressing-room
when she is at the theater. He walked on
the stage from the prompt stett and licked
hb mistress' hand. The play came to a
standstill instantly. The actress took him
by the collar and led him off. Then she
came back and finished the act.
THIB WEEK IN CONOREBS,
Status of the Appropriation Bills.
Washington, Feb. 15.—The energy dis
played by congress during the past week in
aotion upon tbs general appropriation bills
has had the result of placing these measures
tn a stats of forwardness that o.impares fa
vorably with the record of the procoding
congress in the short se sions. Although
none of them have beeotue laws, two (the
army and fortification bills) have been
agreed upon in conference and will doubt
less reach the President In a day
or two. Four appropriation bills
(tha Distriot of Columbia, military
aoademy, pension and naval) have
passed both Houses and will go to the final
conference stage hs soon as the necessary
ordor can be made by the House of Repre
sentatives. The diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill has been reported to the
Senate, and tho legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill aud the sundry
civil bill are awaiting the action of the Sen
ate oommittee on appropriations. The In
dian appropriation bill it under considera
tion by tho House, and two appropriation
bills, the postoffice and agricultural, are on
the calendar, thus leaving only one of tho
thirteen regular appropriation bills (the
general deficiency) to be prepared by the
committee and reported to the House.
In the Senate.
The copyright bill is the unfinished buvl
nesH before the Senate. Whether its con
sideration will be resumed to-morrow, how
ever, depends upon the majority’s estimate
of the amount of time that will be required
to reach tho point of final action.
Senator Hale has stated hs intention to
cell up the diplomatic appropriations bill
to-morrow. The oopyrigbt bill is in suob
shape that it oannot consume much more
time. It will probably be brought to a
final vote before the diplomatic bill ia taken
up.
The sundry civil end legislative appro
priation bills are to be reported some time
during the week and will be pressed at once
upon the Senate's consideration.
The oonference reports on the other and
further advanced appropriation bills will
also be submitted for aotion.
THE CAUCUS PROGRAMME.
The republican caucus list of measures
selected for consideration in the intervals
betwesn discussion of the appropriation
bills It as follows; Indian depredations bill,
Nicaragua canal bill, pure food and Conger
lard bills, army reorganisation bill, inter
state commerce bill, land court bill, bank
ruptcy bill, revenue marine bill and Pacific
railroad bill. How for In this programme
the Senate may proceed will depend on the
amount of time oocupiod by tbs appropria
tion bills, but it ia the determination of the
caucus that none of the measures
named on the Hat shall be permitted to
remain under consideration for an unreason
able length of time and, ai a matter of
justioe to the succeeding feat ares of the
order, any bill will be laid aside that pro
vokes very much debate.
Tn the House.
sln the House it is confidently expected by
the party leaders Must by;the end of this
week the general deficiency bill will be the
only one of the regular annual appropria
tion bills unacted on. It is the intention to
finish consideration of the Indian bill early
to-morrow, and it has beon arranged
that the postofllca and agricultural appro
priation bill shall follow the Indian bill
in tiie order named. The shipping bill,
wbioh has for about two weeks remained
pending in the House as unfinished business,
will then be again brought up, and its
friends purpose to secure recognition on it
before the end of the week. The committee
which reported ths bill Is prepared, if
necessary, to take the Henate bill un
amended as the measure to become a law,
but greatly prefers that there shall be incor
porated in the Senate bill tho mail and the
naval service clauses of the House meas
ure. |
judge boarman’s impeachment.
Mr. Thompson of Ohio says that be in
tends to call up, during tho week, the
recommendation of the impeachment de
cided upon by the judiciary committee in
the ca-a of Judge Boar man of Louitiana,
but will not press this matter If it lie likely
to seriously delay the appropriation bills or
shipping bill.
The silver question still remains the most
absorbing topic of discussion among the
members of the House, and there is a con
stant Gar on the part of conservative mem
bers that it may at some unexpected time
be sprung on tho House in unlookod for
shape. The belief has, however, now be
come quite general and strong that
no silver bill can be taken
up iu advance of a report
from the coinage committee. This com
mittee has lately shown a disposition to
cease further hearings and vote on the bill
before It. The silver men are ooufldsnt
that the bill will be reported to the House
before the end of the weak, and the repub
lican caucus, which bos been called for to
morrow, might have some Influence on the
course to be pursued in regard to this
measure by the majority.

WHAT THE WORLD WANTS IN THB
WAY OF RELIGION.
The Man Who Lives for Himself
Contrasted With the One Who Lives
for Others A New Departure in
Religion a N ecesslty—A Pretty Story
of the Acquirement of Riches.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Feb. 15.— Great
audiences again immbliil at the service by
Dr. Talmas* in tbs Brooklyn Acadny of
Music] this morning, and also at the
Chrietian Herald service in tbe New York
Academy of Music in the evening. Tbe
remarkable interest in the latter continues
without evideuoe of abatement. At the
servios in New York last Sunday evening
there were many emotional episodes among
the vast audience, and to-night these were
repeated, hundreds pledging themselves
anew to Christian lives henceforth. Dr.
Talmaje took for his text at the Brooklyn
academy: "Faith without works is dead,"
James 11., 20.
The Roman Catholio church has been
charged with putting too much stress upon
good works and not enough upon faith. I
charge proton antism with putting not
enough stress upon good works as con
nected with salvation. Good works will
never aava a man, but if a man have not
good work, he has no real faith and no
Senulne religion There are th< *> who
upend upon the faot that they are all right
Inside, while their conduct is wroug out
side. Their religion, for the most part, is
made up of talk—vigorous talk, fluent
talk, boastful talk, perpetual talk.
They will entertain you by the
hour In tolling you how good they
are. They come up to such a higher
life that they have no patiouce with ordi
nary chriatlan* in the pluin discharge of
their duty. As near as 1 can toll this o jean
craft is mostly sail and very little tonnage.
Foretopmast stay-sail,foretopmast studding
sail, main topa:iil, mizzen topsail—every*
thing from flying jib to mizzeu spanker,
but making no useful voyage. Now, the
world bos got tired of this, and it wants a
religion that will work into all tha circum
stances of life. We do uot want anew re
ligion, but tbe old religion applied in all
possible directions.
Yonder is a river with steep and rocky
banks, and it roars like s young Niagara as
it rolls on over its rough bed. It does noth
ing but talk about itself all the way from
its source in the mountain to the plaoe
where it empties into tbe sea. Tbe banka
are so steep the oattlo oaunot come down to
drink. It does uot run one fertilizing rill
into the adjoining field. It has not one grist
mill or factory on either side. It sulks la
wet weather with ohiUlug fogs. No ons
cores when that river is born among tha
rocks, aad no one cares when It dies
Into the sea. But yonder is another river,
and it mosses its banks with the warm,
tides, aud it rocis with floral lullaby tbe
water lilies asleep on its bosom. It turtles
herds of cattle and flocks of sheep and
ooveys of birds to come there aud drink. It
has three grist mills oil one side and six cot
ton factories on the other. It is the wealth
of 200 miles of luxuriant farms. Tbe birds
of heaven chanted whun it was born in the
mountains, aud the ocean shipping will
Sressin from tbe sea to hail it os it comes
own to the Atlantic coast. The one river
is a man who lives for himself. The other
is a man who lives for others.
Do you know how the site of tbe ancient
oity of Jerusalem was chosen) There were
two brothers who had adjoining farms.
Tbe one brother had a large family, the
other hail no family. Tbe brother with a
large family said: “There is my brother
with no fatnllv; be must be lonely, and I
will try uud cheer him up, and I will take
some of the sheaves from my field in the
night-time and set them over on his farm,
aud say nothing about it.” The other
brother raid: "Sly brother has a large
family, aud it it very difficult for him to
support thorn, and I will help him along,
and I will take some of the sheaves fro n
my farm in tha night-tiiue and set them
over o i his farm, and say nothing about
it." Bo the work of transference went on
night after night, and night after night;
but every morning thing-, seemed to be just
as they were, for though sheaves had bee r
subtracted from each farm, sheaves had
also been added, and the brothers wore per
plexed aud could not understood. But one
night the brothers happen,-d to meet while
making this generous transference, and t i#
spot where they met was so sacral that it
was chosen ns tbe site of the city of
Jerusalem. If that tradition should prove
unfounded. It will nevertheless it and as a
beautiful allegory setting forth the Idea that
wherever a kindly and generous and loving
act is performed, that I* tb > spot ift for
some temple of commemoration.
I have often spoken to you about faith,
but now I speak to you about works, for
"faith without works is dead.” I
think you will agree with me m tbe state
ment that tbe great waut of this world is
more practical religion. Wo want practi
cal religion to go into all merchandise. It
will supervise the labeling of goods. It
will uot allow a man to say that a thing
was made in one factory when It was made
in another. It will not allow a
merchant to sa" that watch
was manufactured in Geneva, Switzerland,
when it was manufactured in Massachu
setts. It will not allow tbe merchant to
say that wine came from Madeira when it
came from California. Practical religion
will walk along by tbe store shelves, and
tear all the tags that make misrepresenta
tion. It will not allow the merchant to say
that is pure coffee when dandelion root aud
chicory and other ingredients go into It. It
will not allow him to say that is pure sugar
wbeu there are in it sand and ground glass.
When practical religion goto its full swing
in the world, it will go down the streets,
and it will come to that shoe store and rip
off the fictitious soles of many a fine-look
ing pair of shoes, and show that it is paste
board sandwiched between the sound
leather. And this practical religion will
go right into a grocery store, aud It will
pull out the plug of all the adulterated
syrups, and it will dump into the ashharrel,
in front of the store, the cassia bark that is
sold for cinnamon, and the brickdust that
is sold for cayenne pepper; and it will shake
oat the Frnssian blues from the tea leaves,
and it will sift from the flour plaster of
paris and boned ust aud soapstone, and it
will by chemical analysis s parate tbe ons
quart of Ridgewood water from tbe few
honest drops of cow’s milk, and it will
throw out the live animalcules from the
brown sugar.
There has been so much aluitaration of
articles of food that it is an amazement to
me that there is a healthy man cr woma-i
In America. Heaven only knows what they
put into the spices and into the sugars and
into the butter and into the apothecary
drug. But chemioal analysis and tbe micro
scope have made wonderful revelations.
The beard of health in Massachusetts
analyzed a great amount of what was call 4
pure' coffee, and found in it not one parties
of coffee. In England there is a law that
forbids tbe putting of alum in
bread. The public authorities exam
ined flfty-one paclcag-s of bread and
found them all guilty. The honest
physician, writing a prescription, does not
know but that it may bring death instead
of health to bis patient, because there may
