WOMEN LEAD THE MOBS.
A DEPLORABLE FEATURE OF THE
SAAB STRIKE.
Not Over 6,000 Men Would Now Be
Out Were It Not for the Influence
of the Women—The Anarchists Mak
ing Use of the Females to Keep Up
the Agitation-
Saarbruck. Jan. B.—During the last
week the eyes of all have been direoted
toward the basin of the Saar, where the
striking coal miners have shown a persist
ence and aggressiveness entirely dispropor
tionate to their numbers and hopes of suc
cess. A unique and deplorable feature of
the strike Is the enthusiasm of the miners’
wires in support of it. As the keenest
sufferers from the movement, the women
were exoected to exercise a deterrent influ
ence. German women of ail classes have
usually resisted the special efforts
of the socialistic and anarchistic
agitators to enlist their sympathies
with the revolutionary cause. In the last
few days, however, the women iu the Saar
district have not only declared for the strike
bnt have addressed meetings and led mobs.
In faot, were it not for their efforts hardly
5,000 men would be out to-day iu the whole
basin of the Saar. The Berlin dailies say
that but for the women orators the strike
would have been praotioally settled Wednes
day. These women, however, have been
brought forward by tbs anarchists at all
the large gatherings of the strikers. With
the furious eloquence of the Paris viragoes
they have exhorted the men to tight to the
last ditch against the government
and looal authorities, aud to punish
summarily all blacklegs. They even have
followed the anarchistic doctrine ■ t con
scientiously that they have taught their
children to do aots of violence, such as
stoning men who refuse to come out and
helping their fathers place powder cart,
ridges at the doors of tdaoklege.
The supineness of the local authorities
during the last week is criticised generally.
There has been no determined effort to re
press the excesses of the strikers or to pro
tect the miners who continue at work.
FRENCH PRELA I Es RESTLEB9.
The Pope’s Policy Not at All to Their
x iking.
London, Jan. B.—The Rome correspond
ent of the limes says: “Events in France
have greatly increased the clerical discon
tent with the pope’s policy and the com
plaints are hardly confined to respectful
limits. Among the superior hierarchy only
Cardinals Rarnpolla and Fr-rrato are faith
ful to the pope. Letters from France repre
sent the utter failure of the attempt to in
duce the royalists to accept the republic,
and now .ueooss is impossible in view of the
better monarchist prospects.”
The Vienna eo respondent of the Daily
Aries pays that Prince Victor Napoleon has
failed in his efforts to win the pope’s ap
proval of his pretentions to the French
throne.
EUROPE'S GRAVE CRISIS.

Russia are more Intimate than ever. The

the Polish hierarchy uot to encourage
oy opp'jeition to Russia. The pope is
convinced that the new year brings
a decisive crisis on the cont nent. His ad
dress to the cardinals rrfleo s his keen pre
occupation with the political situation, and
he Sudds himself ready to mnke an appeal
to the nations, when the day of complica
tions shall come. He is finishing at this
moment an encyclicii on the perils of the
Mtimtioo in Europe, but its publication will
depend upon eventualities.

WAR ON L & BOH UNIONS.
The Pennsylvania Road to Employ
Only Non-Union Men.
Cincinnati, Jan. B.—The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has deolared open war
against all organized labor. At Indian
apolis yesterday morning, Oran Perry, oity
freight agent, summoned the freight hand
lers before him, saluting them with the
remark: “All of you who desire to remain
with the company instead of the union will
walk to this side of tbe room." Fifteen did
so and five refused to do so. “I do not
want to be misunderstood,” continued Mr.
Perry. “This company will not furnish
bread ani butler to men who ore likely to
prove unfaithful to it. You oaonot be loyal
to tbe company aud to your union,and if you
prefer tbe union to the oompauy that pays
you your wages, well and good. It is un
necessary to mince matters You five men
are discharged and you will got your pay
at once. Theotheisoan return to work,
but they cannot continue to work and be
long to the union. This shall nos be a union
freight house while I am in charge of It.
The company reserves the right to
conduct its own business and
while I am doing this of my
own accord, I aui satisfied my superior of
ficers will find no fault with it.” Altogether
there were twenty-three union men. Ten
were discharged and the i emainder with
drew from the union. It leaks out in con
nection with tbs Pennsylvania Central af
fairs here, that whore there were nine mem
bers of the Order of Kail way Telegraphers
on tbe lodiauapoiis division three w.eksago,
but three are left aud these expeot dismissal
within twenty-four hours. Thus it is
plainly evident that the ediet is far-reach
ing and will Include the engineers, firemen,
brakemen, conductors, switchmen and even
freight handlers. In other words, every
department of labor on the road banding
themselves in a body for mutual benefit
will be asked to quit their jobs or their
secret orders.
THE VANDALIA FOLLOWS SUIT.
Indianapolis, Jan. B.— The management
of tbe Vandaiia railroad has determined to
follow the example of the Pennsylvania anti
diecuarga all freight handlers who refuse
to leave their union.
SILVER MINES SHUT DOWN.
Tbe Low Fries of Silver and High
Wages tbe Cause.
Denver, Col., Jan. B.—Tbe closing down
of the Rioo-Aspen consolidated group of
mines at Rico has caused a sensation in
mining aud financial circles. Prominent
mining men all agree that tbe step is the re
sult of the depreciation of silver and the
high wages paid to the iniuers. It is under
stood that (he principal operators have
practically agreed 6 > close their mines until
silver advances. In case this action is taken
thousands of moil will be deprived of a
chance to earn a living and Colorado will
enter her first serious state of financial de
pression.

BLAINE AGAIN VERY LOW
HIB DEATH APT TO OCCUR AT ANY
MOMENT.
A Physician in Constant Attendance
Yesterday Two Physicians and a
Burgeon With 1 im Part, of the Time.
The Action of Hla Heart Restored by
a Resort to Nitroglycerine.
Washington, Jau. 8. —Ex-Secretary
Blaine had a bad turn last night and a seri
ous sinking spell early this morning, like
that of Sunday three weeks ego, which took
him once more down to the gate of death.
He was revived by heroio remedies, but all
through this bleak Sunday he was just
alive and that was ali.
The physicians, true to their custom and
also to their pledges to Mrs. Blaine, tried
last night and even this morning to cover
up the faot, but by noon it was evident to
them that the time had oome to speak more
frankly, and they practically admitted all
that they had been endeavoring to ocnoeal.
AN OLD NEWSPAPER TRAIT.
The news that Mr. Blaine was onoe more
in such imminent danger of death spread
through the oity early. It confirmed the
ourious expectation held by eo many people
here that Mr. Blaine would die on a Bun
day because he had, as an old newspaper
man, always giveu out important news
when possiole on Sunday, so ax to have the
advantage of a publication in Monday's
comparatively newsies* papers. Only last
winter he gave out first his letter to Chair
man Clarkson on Sunday, and later on Sun
day again gave out his letter on his eon’s
marriage.
a throng of callers.
The news brought tbe throng of callers
once more to the red house. Ail day they
were asking for tbe latest information anti
getting the old stereotyped response from
the man at the door, “Mr. Blaine is a little
better,” i hough it was given now in rather
trembling and doubtful tones. Everybody
understood by evening, however, that Mr.
Blame was weak, emaciated, ooi gusted, bad
just been kept alive uy the use of the most
powerful stimulants known to medicine,
and that the physicians did not expeot him
to survive much longer. The limits of
even Ms marvelous vitality and will power
seemed to have bee., reached. Even his wife,
his daughters and his sou who bad watched
by his bedside most of tbe night and the
day now admitted that tbe end of hope
seemed in sight. Their sadness touched all
Washington to sympathy, regardless of
former differences. From President Har
rison down no oue had anything hut sorrow
for them.
nitroglycerine used.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, Jan. B.—Ex-Secretary
Blaine has been eteadily sinking since yes
terday, with but occasional momentary
rallies. Physicians have been constantly at
his bedside since 1 o’olock this morning,
Drs. Johnston and Hyatt relieving eaoh
other for purposes of rest, and this evening
both of these physicians and a third, a
surgeon, are at tbe house. The family has
given up hope that Mr. Blaine’s life can be
prolonged beyond a few hours. Nitroglyo
enue was administered late this afternoon to
stimulate the action of the heart and Mr.
Blaine at 8 o’clock to-night was reported to
be sleeping.
HIS CASE HOPELESS.
At noon the physicians authorized this
statement: “Yesterday Mr. Blaine lost
strength, but last night his weakneee be
came more decided for a few hours and he
teemed in danger of a speedy termination.
Since morning, however, he it somewhat
stronger and at tha present moment shows
mure decided evidences of rallying. But
no great hope can be felt unless the im
provement shall become more marked than
at present and be continued t or some hours.
His present symptoms are oonnected with
irregular and feeble action of the heart.”
To tbe above may be added that danger
ous symptoms of heart failure first appeared
three weeks ago to-day, and tbe time since
then has been an anxious one for Mr.
Blame’s physicians and family. They
looked for his death early this morning, aud
his rally was but feeble. His family has
telegraphed to ai aent frier ds that they have
giveu up hope of further prolongation of his
life. One of Mr. Blaine’s intimate friends
malts* the statement that Mr. Blaine baa
not hid connected thought for thirty day*.
A MIDNIGHT BULLETIN.
At midnight Mr. Blaine’e physicians is
sued the folio wing bulletin: “Mr. Blaine’s
condition has been m re favorable this
afternoon. He is now, at midnight, sleep
ing quietly and shows a fair degree of
strength. The probabilities ara that no
change for tbu worse will take place to
night, although no positive assurance can
tie given on this point. As compared with
last night aud this morning he is better."
BLAINE’S RELIGIOUS VIEWS.
In view of conflicting statements which
have been mode ooncerniug Mr. Blaine's
religious views, the statement that Rev.
Dr, T. 8. Hamlin, pastor of tbe Presbyte
rian Church of the Covenant, was called to
the bedside of the dying man has more than
usual Interest. At 6 o’olook this morning,
when tbe family feared that Mr. Blaine wat
dying, a messenger was sent to the Rev. Dr.
Hamlin,;who went to the house almost
immediately, arriving there at 7 o’clock.
He entered the sick room and prayed oy
the bedside of Mr. Blaine. Mr. Blaine
rented a pew at tbe Church of tbe Covenant
and it was tbe only church he had attended
since bis return to Washington this autuin.i.
He visited it on one oooatiou only. Dr.
Hamlin visited the house agato later in the
day.
BURGLARS CRAJK A SAFE.
Washington's Will in It, But the
Cracksmen Leave It Undisturbed.
Washington, Jan. B.—Last night
burglars entered the comity clerk’s office at
Fairfax Courthouse, Va., and blew open
the safe, leaving its contents, consisting of
the ruoordt, strewn ali over the floor and
pariiaily burned. The will of George
Washington, the father of his country, wna
deposited in tbe safe, but the depredators
evidently were not aware of the fact, for
the document was fouud undisturbed when
the oierk came to the office.

THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
The Fate of the tl-opttons Bill Btlll I
la übt.
Washington, Jan. B. Interest in tbe
proceedings of congress this week centers
In tbe prospective treatment of the anti
option hill in the Senate. The bill is now
in a critical position and it is the judgment
of a large number of senators that it must
be passed within a tew days or mutt give
way to other matters, as the patience of
the Senate is well nigh exhausted. Some of
the strongest opponents of tbe bill have
seized upon the opportunity afforded
by the pendency of tbe quarantine
bill to further delay tba enactment of the
great moral measure in tbe hope of defer
ring action upon it until tbe time arrives
when the Senate must turn Its attention to
the annual appropriation bills. As part of
this plan final action on the quarantine bill
was prevented Saturday and that bill
comes up again to morrow as a special
order. Unless an adjournment is caused by
unforeseen events it may easily occupy two
or more days of this weex without justity
ing the parliamentry charge that it is being
used as an obstruction. So it may be that
the anti-option bill will not again be taken
up before Wednesday at the
earliest, but the indications are that when
it is taken up there will be a vigorous con
test brought on by tbe efforts of the friends
of the bill to force it to a vote, involving,
as Mr. Washburn has said, protracted set
sions and muoh tiresome talk.
The McGarrahan bill will fill the morn
ing hour Tuesday, and perhaps during the
remainder of the week, although it appears
that it is really approaching a final vote.
Mr. McPherson's postponed speech on
his proposition to suspend the silver bullion
purchases is set now for to-morrow. The
programme of tbe House for the week hus
not yet been mapped ont and will not be
until to-morrow, when a number of special
orders will be arranged by the committee
on rule# if congress is in session. The Raum
report, tbe bill for the election of senators
by direct vote of the people, and the com
merce committee, witn Its omnibus light
house bill, will eaoh be given a day.
A STREET CAR INCIDENT.
Kansas to the Front Again With an
Interesting Episode.
Topeka, Kas., Jan. B.—A child was
born on a trolley car here yesterday after
noon. When the car left the transfer
station for Washburns College it had on
board two women, aged 85 and 40 years
respectively, aud a man, the husband of
the younger woman, all very weil dressed,
who had ocme to tbe city on an early Rock
Island traiu. Two men were tbe only other
occupants. Soon the younger wnmau
motioned to tbe conductor to stop the car,
which he did. The two ladies then held a
l urried oonsultatiou and the oonduotor was
told by one of them to start tbe oar. saying
that she had made a mistake in the street.
Two blocks further the younger woman
made a vigorous Jump for the
bell ropo, and the car stopped. The
eider woman asked tbe male passengers and
crew to leave the car, saying that her sister
was ill. W ith quick instinct tbe men dis
cerned why tbeir presence was ocit wanted
there, and they got off together with the
conductor and motor.uaa. The man
who l ad accompanied the ladies ran to a
neighboring bouse for assistance. A few
words sufficed to acquaint tbe occupants of
the house with w' tr. was going on. A lady
volunteed her help, and basteued to the car.
A few minutes liter one of the women
came to tne car door and beckoned the
oonduotor and his motorman to return.
They were informed by the husband that
he was now the papa of a baby boy. A
few minutes later the mother and obild
were taken into tbe bouse where they were
cared for. The parties declined to give
tbeir names, but were from St. Joseph, Mo.
DEAD MAN’S EARS REMAIN PINK.
CUty Hopper's Parents Are Holding
His Body for Developments.
Toledo, 0., Jan. B.—Last Friday Clay
Hopper, a youth of 18 years, was pro
nounced dead by Dr. Frank Sickles, who
said dissolution was caused by dropsy of the
pericardium. Undertaker Bennett was
called and th* body wa* prepared for burial.
Funeral services were held on Bunday,
when tbe parents finally gave way to doubts
they had all aioug maintained as to whether
tbe youDg man was dead. They took the
body home instead of to Woodlawu ceme
tery and summoned tho doctor rgain. The
right ear of the corpse was found to be as
pink as in life. The linger nails wars their
normal color and the eyes were bright and
life-like. They have remained so ever since,
aud the best physicians in the city are per
plexed. The lather says he wiil keep the
body for two or three weeks at least, or
until something definite is learned about
his son’s existence.
INFANTS IN "HONOR’S” FIELD.
Two Mexican Lads Fight to the Death
With Knives,
Gaudalajaba, Mexico, Jan. B.—Ad
vices have been received here from Colima
of a desperate dual between two boys, named
Angel Iranibou, tb* ton of a wealthy mer
chant , and Pinto Lopez, the son of a coffee
planter. Tbe boys were 9 and 11 years old
respectively, and quarreled over some triv
ial thing. The younger by challenged tbe
older one to a duel with knives, and each
chose two young men for seconds. The
affair came off a few miles outside of tbe
city of Colima, both principals being carved
in a most terrible manner from head to
foot. Finally a stab in the breast of Lopez
was made by bis ycuDger antagonist, and
tbe battle came to an end. Bo b boys were
carried from tbe field in an unconscious con
dition. Lopez will probably die. The sec
onds have been arretted.

Retraction or Condemnation of the
Doctrines of the Anti-Poverty So
ciety or United Labor Party Not a
Precsdent to Hla Restoration.
New York, Jan. B.—Cooper Union was
crowded to-night with people anxious to
hear Dr. MoGlynu’s Sunday address. Be
fore beginning bit regular discourse he de
fined tils own position with regard to the
union labor party and the auti-poverty
society. "On last Sunday evening," he
said, “to meet a reasouatde expectation, I
road a statement of the doctrines of the
united labor parly platform and of the anti
poverty society, my teaching of which
doctrines had led to a series of events so hap
pily terminated by the removal from me of
tbe ecclesiastical censure. It is well that I
should now add that the doctrinal statement
was full and unreserved, and that it nowise
minimizes, explains away or departs from
the doctrine as I have been teaching it for
years. The making of that doctrinal state
ment under the oiroumstanoes, migtit well
be sufficient proof of the faot. which 1 now
positively affirm, that the retraction or con
demnation of tbe doctrines was not a con
dition precedent to the removal of tbe
ecclesiastical censure.”
A PERSONAL STATEMENT.
Dr. McGlynn then added a personal state
ment, embodying the announcements of
Mgr. Satolli and Bishop Keane that be had
been restored to priestly functions, and euu
cludsd as follows: "I am content aud pre
fer for the present to remain as I
am, saying“msß every morning and
fulfilling my literary and lecture engage
ments. As to my future, I repose with
chiid-like confidence upon the urovidence of
Ucd which, as a few think, and 1 with them,
has, as if in answer to earnest prayers,
marvelously brought about reoent events.
It was a kindly and gracious aot of Arch
bishop Batolii to robuke the rakiug
up of the old controversy on
the day of peace and good will. lam very
much touched by his charity aud am thank
ful for it, but justice require* that I should
state that tome of the things attributed to
me in the publication referred to by Arch
bishop Satolli were never said by me. For
instance, I never called tbe pope ‘an old
woman’ or an ‘old lady.’ nor did I ever call
him ‘a poor old hag of bones.’ I swear it.”
WILCOX SUPERIOR COURT.

and sell by advice of several good
lawyers. E. H. Cutts, Hal law
son and Thomas lay lor made
a splendid sffort for the defence, but the
judge was oieariy of the opluion that there
was no ground for defence aud oharged the
Jury accordingly. After many hours de
liberation the judge sent for the jury, and,
seeing no possibility of a verdict, charged
the jury a second time and in stronger
terms than before. Finally his boner sent
for them again and informed them that he
would hold them till next week unless they
arrived at a verdiot. This seemed to have
the desired effect and a verdict was ren
dered in favor of the prosecution. The case
will be carried to the supreme court.
As an evidence of the sentiment of the
people of this town and county on the
liquor question, a reference to the large
number of "blind tigers” that flourished
hern before the opening of licenced saloons is
only ueoessary. Ana in addition to the
large quantity of intoxicants dispensed
through this channel the books of the ex
press company will show that a sum ap
proximating $30,000 was paid at the Abbe
ville office alone, on whisky, during the
years 1890 and 1891. The probability is
that whisky will be relegated to the care of
blind tigers again, till the House passes tbe
btil already passed by the Henate repealing
the unconstitutional liquor la* of Wilcox
county.

HAWTHOBNS’3 ATTACK ON GOULD.
Mrs. Falton Takes Up the- Fight
Against tbe Preacher.
Atlanta, Ha., Jan. a--Rev. Dr. J. B.
Hawthorne, who is generally regarded as
bordering closely on the sensational by
reason of his exaggerated style and impet
uosity, has again drawn public attention
to himself in a not altogether desirable way.
Following closely on the death of Jay
Gould Dr. Hawthorne preached a sermon iu
wbiob be consigned the soul of the departed
millionaire to “hades.” This sermon drew
forth not a little criticism, and in an indi
rect way the revereut doctor was made the
object of attack by several anonymous
liowxpaiier card writers. Tnis caused him
to take up Jay Gould again
in bis sermon of the follow
ing Sunday and In a measure
retract the harsh things he hail said of tbe
dead wizard, explaining that he had not
consigned hissoul to “hell,” or the prevalent
construction of “hades.”
it seems that instead of qtielliug the mur
murs against his rather arbitrary Judgment
of Mr. Gould his second discourse had the
opposite effect and this morning Mrs. W.
H. Felton of Cartorsvlllo published a column
attack on the reverend doctor, in which
she intimated that he was in the ministry
himself tor the money he could got out of
it, referring to Dr. Hawthorne's interest In
various enterprises, calculated to be bene
fited by the use of his name.
DR. CANDLER ALSO RAKKO OVER.
Dr. Candler of Emory college, who had
also been severe on Mr. Gould, was also
handled by Mrs. Felton, who was of the
opluion that if he had donated some of his
loose change to the college til which both
Dr. Candler and Dr. Hawthorne were iuter
o-rted he would not have been committed to
the pit by them, but as far as they were
concerned permitted to proceed on his
heavenly journey unmolested. This card
created muoh comment this morning and
woo a ieu iing topic among church goers.
Dr. Hawthorne’s congregation were espo
pecially wrought up, expecting some reply
by their pastor, and iu this they were
not disappointed, for in the outsat the
doctor took up Mrs. Felton and her card,
though not referring to her by name. He
was very sarcastic In hla references to her,
however. After repeating his former ex
planation of what he meant when be said
Jay Gould's soul was lu “hades,” he stated
that instead of making money out of tbe
oollegee in which he was interested he had
lost, and lost heavily, which was a sufficient
answer to the mercenary motives ascribed
to his work in that field. The controversy
ts probably rot at au end yet.

He Confessed Embezzlement tn Order
to Get a Free Ride.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. B.—A few
days ago Starke wax in a fever of excite
ment. A suspicious character came in
town and was arrested by Sheriff Johns.
After Examining papers of rewards, tbe
sheriff felt cortaiu that tho prisoner was
William H. I’ope, who absconded three
years ago from Louisville with S7U,UOU of
tho funds of the Louisville City National
Bank. The sheriff wired the bank that be
bad the man. The bank people wired J. A.
Bteltencauip, formerly of Louisville, now
Florida agent of tbe Louisville and Nash
ville, to go down and identify the prisoner.
Stelti ncanip did so. After a critical exam
ination he telegraphed tbe officials that ha
was the right man. lu fact, Hteiteocamp
found every pbysloal defect of Rope on the
prisoner.
THE PRISONER CONFESSES.
A day or two later thepris ,ner confessed.
I,ust night at 18:80 o’olock James A. Leach,
vice president of the bank, and E A. Daly,
ohief of doteotlves, arrived from Louisville,
secured a special engine and hastened to
(Starke. Ho certain were all that they bad
the right man that they brought the pris
oner as far os Baldwin, but the prisoner's
ta:k and other characteristics led them to
believe that they had the wrong party.
They carried the man back to (Starke and
went on to Louisville. They say that this
is tbe third time they have thought they
had Pope and didn’t. Tho alleged Pope
says he confessed to get a free ride to Louis
ville.

A NIGHT WITH THE DEAD.
A Woman Fall* Asleep in a Vault and
Onuses excitement.
Cleveland, Jan. B.—Mrs. Mary Blaoh,
living on Gallup street, has had a remark
able experience. Bt.e attended a neighbor’s
funeral Thursday and during the final cere
mony which took place in a vault in Wood
land oemetery, she dropped asleep. She
was sitting on a camp ohair In an obsoure
corner of tho vault and when at 4:30
o’clock tho mourners departed, she did not
awake. The door clanged and the lock
slipped into place but still she slept.
At 3 o’clock the next morning she awoke
ehivermg. Mar cries aroused the guard,
who, instead of opening the vault door at
once, telephoned to Raus Bros., under
takers, begging them to oomequiok because
tbeir lout “subjeot” had oome to life and
wanted to get out of her coffin. Two oufilus
had been deposited in tbe vault, to the
guard telephoned another undertaker. Two
policemen weio also summoned In hot haste.
During all this delay Mrs. Blaoh had been
rending the air with her cries for assistance,
but the guard waited for tbe undertakers.
Finally undertakers, policemen aud guard
cautiously uulocked tho door and the
woman tumbled out, nearly exhausted from
fright arid exertion. Tbe woman was sent
home in an undertaker's wagon, and Is
quit* ill from the effect* of her exposure.

GOD AMONG THE BIRDS.
TALVAGR PREACHE3 ON THE OR
NITHOLOGY OF THE BIBLE.
Tbe Organ Lofts in tbe Temple of
Nature—Meaning of the Divine Com
mand “Behold tbeFowla of tbe Air."
Christian Geology Helps to Show
Wbat We Owe the Bird Creation.
Brooklyn, Jan. B—Dr. Talmage this
morning continued the course of ser
mon* begun a few Sabbaths ago. Having
preached about “The Astronomy of the
Bible; or, God Among the Stars,” and the
"Chronology of tbe Bible; or, God Among
the Centuries,” this morning he discoursed
on the “Ornithology of the Bible; or, God
Among the Birds.” The text was Matthew
vt. 26: "Behold the fowls of the air.”
There is silence now in all our January
forests, except as tbu winds whistle through
the bare branches. Our northern woods
are deserted concert bails. The organ lofts
in the temp'.e of nature are hymaless.
Trees which were full of carol and ohirp
and chant are now waiting for the com
ing back of rich plumes and warb*
ling voices, solos, duets, quartets, can
tatas, and te duiiis. But the Bible
is full of birds at ail seasons, and prophets
and patriarchs and apostles and evaogehsts
and Christ liimself employ them for moral
and religious purposes. My text Is an ex
tract from the Sermon on the Mount, and
perhaps it was at a m uient when a flock of
birds flew past, that Christ waved his haud
toward them, and said: “Behold tbe fowl*
of the air.” And so, in this course of ser
mons on God every where, 1 preaoh to yon
tbit third sermon concerning the [oruith*
ology of the Bible, or God among tha
birds.
Most of the other sciences you may study
or not study as you please. Use your own
judgment, exercise your own taste. But
about this science of ornithology we bava
no option. The divine oommand is posltiva
when it says in uiy text, “Behold the fowls
of the air!” That is, study their habits.
Examine their color*. Notice their speed.
See tbe baud of God in their construction.
It is easy for me to obev the oommand of tba
text for I was brought up among this race of
wings and from boynood hoard their matins
at sum he and their vespers at sunset.
Tbeir neets have beeu to me a fascination,
and my satisfaction is that I never robbed
oca of them, any more than I would steal a
child from a cradie, for a bird is a child of
tbe sky, and its nest a cradie. They ara
almost human, for they have thir|lovesand
bates, allinitios and antipathies, under
stand joy aud grief, have conjugal aud
maternal instinct, wage wars aud cuter taut
jealousies, have a language of their own
ami powers of association. Thank God for
birds and skim full of them. It is useless to
expect to underetaud the Bible unless wa
study natural history. Five hundred and
ninet.y-threo times does the Bible allude to
tbe facts of natural history, and I do non
wonder that it makes so mauy allusions
ornithological. The skies and the caverns
of Falastine ara friendly to the winged
creatures, and so many fly and roos#
and nest and hatch iu that region that
Inspired writers do not have far to go to
get ornithological illustration of dlvioa
truth, 'there are over forty species of
birds recognized in th* scriptures. Oh,
what a variety of wings iu i'alustiue] Tba

or pluujing bird, hurling itself from sky to

ruthless, hovering head to windward,

aud m the Bible denounced as inedible,
though it hus extraordinary headdress, the
stork, the ossifrugo, that always had a
habit of dropping on a stone the turtle in
had lifted and so killing it for food, and oil
one occasion mistook the bald bead of
zKsohylus, tbe Greek poet, for a white
stone and dropped a turtle upon it, killing
the famous Greek; the cuckoo, with
crusted head and crimson throat and wings
snow-tipped, but too lazy to build its own
nest aud so having the habit of
depositing its eggs in nesta belonging
to other birds, the blue jay, tna
grouea, the plover, the magpie,
the kingfisher, tbe peiican, which Is tha
caricature of all the feathered creation, tha
owl, the gold- finch, the bittero, the harrier,
the bulbul, tbe osprey, the vulture, that
king of scavengers, with neok covered with
repulsive down Instead of attractive feath*
ers, the quarrelsome starling, the shallow
flying a mile a minute, and sometimes tea
hours in succession, tbe heron, the quail, tbs
peacock, the ostrich, the lark, the crow, tba
kite, tbu bat, the blackbird and many
others, with all colors, ali souuds, all styles
of flight, all habits, all architecture of neets,
leaving nothing wanting in suggestivems-..
They were at the creation placed all around
on tbe rooks and in tbe trees aud on tbs
ground to serenade Adam’s arrival. They
took their places on briday, as the first man
was made on rtsturday. W batever else ha
had or did not have, he should ha vs music.
Tbe first sound that struck tbe humau ear
was a bird’s voice.
Yea, Christian geology (for you know
there is a Christian geology os well as a in
fidel geology), Christian geology comes ia
and helps the Bib.e show what we owe to
the bird creation. Before tbe human rsca
came into this world the world was occu
pied by reptiles, and by all styles of de
structive monsters, millions of creatures
loathsome and hideous. God sent huge
bl ds to clear tbe earth of these oreatures
before Adam and Eve were created. Tha
remains of these birds have been found im
bedded in the mck*. The skeleton of ona
eagle lias been found twenty feet iu hi :ht,
and fifty feet from tip of wtmr to tip of
wing. Many armies of beaks and daws
were necessary to clear the earth of creat
ures that would have destroyed the human
race with one clip. I like to find this har
mony of revelation and science, and to have
demonstrated that the God who made tha
world otade the Bihle.
Moses, tbe greatest lawyer of all time,
and a great tuau for facts, bad enough senti
ment and poetry and musical taste to wel

divinely drilled into the first chapter of
Genesis. How should Noah, the first old
ship carpenter, six hundred years of age,
findout when the world was fit attain for hu

bird will tell aud nothing else can. No man
ran oome dowu from tb- mountain to invite
Noah aud his family one to terra flrma, for
the mountains were submerged. Asa bird
