Word of Farewell.
San Francisco, May 26.- At 9:30 o’clock
on the night of May 14, 1894, I descended
the front steps of my home in Brooklyn,
N. Y. The sensation of leaving for a ,our
hey around the world is not all made up
of bright anticipation. The miles to be
traveled are so numerous, the seas to be
orossed are so treacherous, the peradven
lures are so many, that the solemnities
JUtnumber the expectations. My family

William M. Evarts a few evenings
Before at the public reception—on

■ttered in facetiousness, were consolatory.

as h tear, may open a chapter of
r v v acquaintanceship.
M' 'hat is the meaning of the three fires:
leave, people in many lands are dis-
tbe question, for telegrams from
the Atlantic, as wed as from man
||V' °f this country, show tb it the fier.v
had te a p e( i eV ery whither. Three
structures dedicated to God, and tlic
work of trying to make the world better,
gone dowu, and all this within a few
years. They were well built as to perma
nence an r durability. All the talk about
these buildings as mere fire-traps is the
usual cant, for there is as much secular
cant as religious cant. Have you heard
in the last forty years of any church, or
any hall, or any theater which, after de
struction, was not called a fire-trap?
That charge always makes a lively open
ing for any description of a fire. There
ha . e have been no better structures, sec
ular or religious, put up in the last
twenty-five years than the th ree Brooklyn
Tabernacles, and the modes of egress from
them so ample that the thousands of
worshippers assembled in any of them
could be put safely on the streets iuside
of five minutes. The fact is that there is
nothing in this world incombustible.
When the great Chicago and Boston fires
took pla e they burned up stones and
iron. The human race will go on build
ing inconsumable churches and incon
sumable banks and inconsumable store
houses and inconsumable cities, and then
all will be consumed in the world's last
fire.
Builders who had large experience and
established reputation, pronounced the
Brooklyn Tabernacles perfect structures.
But what is the meaning of the three
fires? There may be a hundred different
lessons learned by a hundred different
people, and legitimate lessons. As for
myself I ad.ourn the most of the meaning
to the next world. We learn there in two
minutes more than we can find out here
in fifty years. With that anticipation,
mysteries do not often bother me.
tine reason for theso consecutive disas
ters may be that the patience of the best
people ia the world, the members of the
Brooklyn Tabernacle, was to be perfected.
“Purified by lire.” Mighty discipline for
one of the ILord's hosts. Whether I* ever
meet them on earth or not, it will be a
theme of heavenly reminiscence. We
shall talk it all over, the story of the
three fires.
Ano her reason why the last church
went down may have been that some of
us were idolizing the building, and the
Lord will not allow idolatry. The house
was such a Midsummer Night's Dream
of beauty. Enchantment lifted in gal
leries and sprung in arches, and glorified
in the light that came through windows,
touching it with their deftest lingers.
The accoustics so rare that thousands
of ears were in easy reach of
common accentuation. An organ which
was a hallelu ah set up in pipes and
banked in keys, waiting for a musician's
manipulation, that would lead the con
gregational song as an archangel might
lead heaven. Glorious organ! When it
died down into the ashes of that fire, per
haps its soul went up where Handel and
Haydn began to play on it. The most
superb audience room that I ever gazed
on. or ever expect to see, until I enter the
Temple of the Sun. On one memorial
wall of that building, a stone which 1 had
rolled down from Alt. Calvary, where our
Lord died, and two taoles of stone that
were sawed off from Mt. Sinai, and
brought on camels across the desert by
mv arrangement, and a part of Paul’s
pulpit, which the Queen ot Greece al
lowed me. from Mars hill. Architecture
so chaste, so grand, so appropriate, so
suggestive, so stupendous. One of the
doxologies of heaven alighted. Well, per
haps wo thought too much of it. When
we think 100 much of our children, the
Lord takes them, and when we think too
much of our church, the Lord summarily
removes it.
I suppose another reason for the depart
ure of that house was that it had done its
work. Church buildings. like individu
als. accomplish what they were built for
and then go. One person lives ninety
years, another forty years, another three
years, and when God takes an individual,
whether at ninety, op forty, or three
years, his mission fS ended. This last
c hurch stood three years, and any person
who knows what multitudes have there

assembled, and what transactions for
eternity have there taken place, will
admit that it was well to build it, even if
we bad known at the start that it would
only last from lb9l to 1894.
Another reason why I think this last
church went down was to keep me hum
ble. The Lord had widened my work
through Christendom, and with two re
ceptions the week before the conflagra
tion, the one a city reception presided
over by our mayor, and the other a na
tional and international reception, pre
sided over by one of the chief men of the
nation, who had recently stepped from
the presidential cabinet, and the occasion
honored by addresses, and letters, and
cablegrams from men of world-wide fame
in church and state, and the whole scene
brilliant beyond description, and in com
pliment to myself, who was brought up a
farmer’s boy; there was danger that I
might become pu.fed up and my soul be
weakened for future work. I did not yet
feel any stirrings of that sort,
and had only felt an humble grat
itude for what had been said and done
by friends transatlantic and cisatlantic,
but I had ordered full reports of
the meeting laid aside for future perusal,
and I had engaged the fleetest steno
grapher X know of to take down every
word, from the opening doxology of the
first reception to the benediction of the
last reception, and some time, when less
busy, 1 would take all tho eloquence and
kindness and splendor of that memorable
week. What might have been the result
upon myself. I know not. I have seen
upon others the withering effect of human
praise. A cold chill of .the world's neg
lect is no more destructive than the sun
stroke from too much heat of popular ap
proval. The disaster may have been
needed, and it came so close upon the
adulation, that it actod as an everlasting
prevention. In the light of that awful
blaze of that Sabbath in May, 1894, no
self-sufficiency could stand a second.
Another reason for the fires, 1 think, is
that somehow, and in a way that I know
not, m.v opportunities are to widen. After
each of the other fires new doors were
open. I prayerfully expect that such will
be the sequence of the last conflagration.
Will the Brooklyn Tabernacle be re
built? I know not. What or when or
where shall be my work, I cannot even
guess, nor have I the least anxiety.
Nothing but an inspired utterance of the
Bible could bear such repetition as 1 have
for the last twolve days given to the
words of the Psalmist: “The Lord
reignetb, let the earth rejoice.”
I have safely arrived on the Pacific
Coast. A startling question was asked
me just before 1 reached here. 1 was iu
deep slumber in a section of a sleeping
car, when the curtain was pushed back,
and a venerable lady seized hold of me
and shrieked: “Who are you and what
are you doing here?” It was a sudden
calling of the roll of passengers, and I did
not leel like answering to my name. The
question was repeated in more earnest
ness and with louder voice. I could not
at first understand why the interrogation
as to my identity, but after gathering my
senses together, I mildly suggested that
perhaps she had mistaken my place for
her own. This was no doubt the case,
and she made a quick retreat. The fact
is that the sections and berths of a sleep
ing car are very much alike. The new
mode of hanging tbe number of the berth
in large figures on the outside of the
drapery of the sleeping place, is a great
improvement; bat midnight perambu
lation, even under tbe best of circum
stances, is more or less confusing. The
mistake that the venerabie lady made is a
mistake that thousands of people make,
for they think someone else has their
place. Most of tbe struggle in the world
is in trying to get someone else’s berlh.
Better go back contented and take the
place assigned you. In trying to get
someone else's plat e. we may lose our
own without getting his. I cannot jeer at
the old lady's mistaKe, for that night on
the Southern Pacific railroad, I bethought

A GRAND BAZAR
On Cumberland Island for a Bruns
wick Hospital.
Brunswick, June 9.—Glorious, beauti
ful, historic Cumberland, the laud of
summer shade and breezes, of sylvan re
treats and fairy dells: the bourne of the
summer tourist, tbe promised land to the
city beaux and belle, the haven of rest
and pleasure to the up-eountry planter
and his family, the loadstone which at
tracts the sportsman and fisherman!
Sea-girt Cumberland with its magnificent
23-miie stretch of beach, is tbe ideal
bathing resortof the whole Atlantic coast.
Cumberland, the home of giant gnarled
and pollard oaks around whose brunches
cling and twine tropical flower-bespangled
moss! Cumberland, the resting place of
i Light Horse Harry Lee: Cumberland,
with its Dungeness and its Queen Anne
houses, noble terraces, olive groves and
tropical fruits, at one time the home of
: Maj. Gen. Nathaniel Greene, the revolu
! tionary hero and of tho
j Nightingale family of this city. Now
; the residence of theCarnegies is within a
few miles delightful dri, e of the Cumber
land hotel, and is one of the show places
of the island.
1 On June 15 Brunswick’s swelldom will
( liie itself to devote two weeks to i harit
aole work. Brunswick’s recent epidemic
gave a sad illustration of tbe necessity
for a hospital, in which to care for the
sick, the poor and the friendless of our
city as well as the stranger withiu our
gates—seamen in particular. The ladies
of Brunswick, are now determined that
if hard work, perseverance and self-de
nial will accomplish it, they will build a
charitable institution.
To the above end tho ladies will hold a
bazaar on lovely Cumberland, to be
known as the Cumberland Grand Bazaar.
Tbe bazaar will open on June 15, and con
tinue for two weeks, during which time
the island will be seen in all the bravery
of a lavish display of bunting, fioatlug
banners and waving flags. There will be
a nightly display of fireworks, and all
evening excursion boats will he
greeted with a salute fired
lrom an old confederate cannon.
They will also be treated to the superb
spectacle ot a grand illumination by
aerial rockets as the boats approach the
pier. Parti-colored lights will be burned
ail along the wav from the pier to the
grand bazaar, illuminating the woods and
picturing one of tbe finest sights ever
witnessed.
All boats will be met by the Grand
Bazaar Band. While the grand bazaar
lasts there will be a nightly display of
fireworks.
The grand bazaar proper will be held
in a large pavilion in front of tbe hotel.
Along the sides of ttie pavilion miniature
oriental stores will be built, in which the
ladies will oisplay their wares. These
stores will be gaily devorated and illumi
nated with lights from curiously shaped
lanterns. At the Spanish, Japanese and
Turkish stores the ladies ana gentlemen
will wear full native costumes. Over one
of tbe stores will wave the stars and
stripes, and on the roof “America” will
be painted in brilliant characters. At
this store the great-granddaughter of
Maj. tun. Greene. Miss Panme Grant
Nightingale, a will represent Lady
Washington, and with her maids of honor
and courtiers will dispense candies and
cigars. Added to the grand bazaar
pavilion will be a huge tent, in which re
freshments will be served by tiny Nor
mandy maidens. River boating parties
requiring the services of guitarists will
find them at this tent. A medicine chest,
provided by woman’s thoughtfulness,
will also be kept in tbe refreshment tent,
where those suffering from headache,
weariness, or sudden sickness, will be re
lieved free of charge. As all the refresh
ments will be donated, there will be no
advance in prices.
Hundreds of tents will dot the island,
where gentlemen can sleep. These tents
will be furnished with cots, tin ' pitchers
and bowls and with attendance.and will be
rented for 50 cents a night. The ladies of
the grand bazaar are deeply indebted to
Mr. and Mrs. Shackelford, lessees of
Hotel Cumberland for kindnesses and
noble generosity.
Cumberland Grand Bazaar will be ably
officered by the following ladies: Mrs.
M. J. Egan, director; Mrs. J. K. Nightin
gale, Mrs. Mallory P, King. Mrs. D. Wat
son Winn, Mrs. C. W. Wylly, assistant
directors. The above ladies alsocompose

of Mrs. D. Watson Winn and sister. Mrs.
Lewis Mayer, assisted by a band of little
Normandy Maids, led by Miss Maud
Nightingale. Amusement at the grand
bazaar will consist of dancing, singing,
tableaux, etc.
Out-docr amusements, such as target
shooting for handsome prizes; bicycle
and horse races, also for prizes, will be
one of the chief attractions of the grand
bazaar. On theout-door amusement com
mittee are Capt. J. S. Thomas, and
Messrs. F. D. Aiken, Alvan Rowe and
George Cook. A superb array of hand
some presents have already been selected
by the direcior.
Tho ladies of the Cumberland Grand
Ba-aar recognize no such word as fail
in their charitable work. Every one is
invited to this entertainment and the
lady directors assure the public, that in
so far as it lies in their power, no one
will leave the Cumberland Grand Bazaar
with tbe shadow of regret. The ladies
have made application to the railroads
for reduced rates during the two weeks
the grand bazaar lasts, and are now
waiting on their pleasure.
“SERVICE PANS” OF NEGRO
COOKS.
A Troublesome Institution in South
ern Housekeeping.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Among the many serious problems to
be met by the southern housekeeper the
most difficult of adjustment is that of the
service pan. Your servant may not be dis
honest, tnat is as the average negro inter
prets the word. She fnay not purloin
your wearing apparel, as is common with
many housemaids and nurse girls of her
acquaintance, who, if the mistress
happens to leave the drawer or wardrobe
unlocked, are in the habit of abstracting
bits of finery to dike themselves for
church or visiting after they “get off”
from their work at night, or even gowns
and dainty rutiled white petticoats, so
dear to the southern woman's heart. But
if she is a cook she considers as her
rightful plunder the remnants of every
meal. After breakfast all the
biscuits, muffins, steak, eggs, hominy or
wah es that are not consumed by tbe
family goes into tho over-ready service
pan, and after dinner the roast fowl or

ham, with all other loft-over victuals,
joins the savings from the breakfast,
while the gleanings from the ton table
generally fill this pan, which goes home,
under the apron of the cook or geueral
servant, its contents to bo distributed
among the children and husband, or if
Dinah has no husband or children there
is always friends or admirers who are
“too strong to work,” and whom the cook
thinks it no harm to supply with the
white folks' victuals. The average cook in
a private family receives from #6 to *lO
monthly. She is “do cook,” and will re
sent bitterly the intrusion of any of the
women of the family into the kitchen
She wishes to have the room entirely to
herself, and will indignantly refuse to do
any work outside of the actual cookiug
of the food and keeping in order the
kitchen. She will cook and dish the food,
reserving whatever she sees fit in the
pots, and claiming whatever is not con
sumed on the table as her rightful por
tion. Then when She has put her kitchen
to rights, her work is done until the cook
ing of the next meal.
In poor families, where only one maid
is kept and the washing of the dishes and
general kitchen work is expected of her,
the service-pan is still a feature, and into
it goes all that can be gathered or ab
stracted from the pantry, both cooked
aud raw, yet that m not considered dis
honesty. Such dally outputs in families
where tho income is limited, is a serious
consideration, but were any housekeeper
bold enough to declare against the ser
vice pan, she would be instantly left to do
her own work, and her name spread
among the rank and file of servants as a
“white ooman dat saves col’ vittles, whar
you couldn't git ernuff to grease a ser
vice-pan wid.”
Few servants will accept a room in the
yard or house where they are employed.
They love to keep late hours and enjoy
limited nounts of company, so for a
couple of dollars per month they rent
single rooms in alleys and back yards
where the family is housed, the food
coming from the kitchen in the* pan,
which the mother carries to work as reg
ularly as she doe* her apron.
borne housekeepers old in the business
have acquired lheartof giving out enough
provision to be cooked lor each meal, so
that no great quantity will remain over,
but one cannot always count upon the ap
petite of a growing family. Yet, even
where this is done the mistress knows
that the biscuit will be made smaller, the
steak sliced again and tbe colire made
disgustingly thin, so that there may be
something for the service pan to feed the
little coons with at the eloso of the day.
The average negro servant is constitu
tionally averse to rules and regulations,
and the family who trouble themselves to
enforce such are generally wituout ser
vants. That the meals must be ready at
certain hours day after day seems a piece
of insane “foolishness” to the bapp.y-go
lucky temperament of a black servant.
She will announce breakfast at a different
hour every morning, and it questioned as
to why the meal was late would shift the
blame in a beautifully consequential
fashion. “De vittles jes wouldn't git done,
honey.”
India Ink as a Barometer.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Besides using India ink in writing and
drawing, aud as a valuable medicinal
agent, both internally and externally,
the Chinese of this city regard as the
most trustworthy of barometers. A
dish of it diluted to a certain invariable
consistency is kept for ready use on the
little desk of a laundry on Ridge avenue,
and from bis long habit of observing its
supersensitiveness to atmospheric con
ditions, the Celestial proprietor is ena
bled to predict the weather. For more
than a week past the same dishful has
remained in a liquid state, without re
mixing; while, ordinarily, it dries up in a
day or two. and duriug periods of drought
must be mixed several times a day.

HOW VICTORIA
Maximum Rate of Speed 38 Miles an
Hour by Royal Order.
Adverting to the recent opening of the
Manchester canal by Queen Victoria, the
Manchester Guardian tells the following
particulars of the care with which her
majesty's special train !s handled by the
railroad officials:
“Several European monarch#—notably
the czar and the German emperor—pos
sess trains that are sumptuous in their
ap|)olntments; but tho queen, who has,
during her long and prosperous reign,
been the recipient of many rare gifts,
and is supposed lo possess everything,
does not own a train. She really owns
only two saloons—one a bedchamber and
the other, to use a homelv phrase, a sit
ting-room. They are thickly carpeted,
upholstered in figured silk, well furn
ishod, and very comfortable. They
are twenty years old. Her majesty
has grown accustomed to them, and
though the London and Northwest
ern would bo only too pleased to
design and construct a queen’s train,
luxurious us art and constructive skill
could make it, she prefers the old
coaches, with their restful seats and fold
ing steps. The queen, when she travels,
thinks more of the security of the line
than the adornment of the couch on
which she reclines. Exceptional precau
tions are taken all along the track to
guard her from accident. The locomotive
superintendent selects the engine. Ho
places on it his most experienced driver.
A pilot engine, with a firm, cautious man,
well acquainted with the road, precedes
tho royal train. On her Journey by the
west coast route no fewer than 300 tele
giams are sent from point to point herald
ing her approach. No train is allowed to
cross the main line for half an hour before
the time fixed for the queen to pass: tbe
gates at the level crossings are locked,
shunting operations are suspended, and
an arm.v of platelayers are on duty—on
the alert to remove any obstructions from
the line. There is in the history of every
railway company many a story of hair
breadth escape that is Jealously guarded
from the gossiping world, but the Ixmdon
and Northwestern have, so far as the
queen is concerned, made traveling as safo
as is possible with human forethought and
steady, devoted work. Her majesty de
clines to permit a faster.pace than thirty
six miles an hour, but she thoroughly ap
preciates the efforts on train and line to
secure her pleasant .ourue.ving, and two
years ago presented Mr. Neele, the super
intendent, a chiming clock, “in recogni
tion of the care and attention he had
given to her comfort and safety when
traveling on the London and Northwest
ern for tbe past thirty-one years.” It
must be recorded that the queen is not
selfish in this inntter. She gives thought
to the safety of her traveling subjects;
and in 1834 sent a letter to the directors
of the various companies urging them to
consider every means of guarding against
accident, “it is not,” she wrote, “for her
own safety that the queen has wished to
provide in thus calling attention to the
late disasters. Her majesty is aware that
when she travels extraordinary precau
tions are taken. But it is on account of
Jner family, of those traveling upon her
servi< e, and of her people generally that
she expresses the hope that the same se
curity may be insured for all as is so care
fully provided for herself.”
