“Structure IVas the Word.
With the frequent April showers last
month came a shower of guesses m .re
sponse to The Constitutions missing word
contest for April. . .
At the close of the month in looking ox.r
the record, it is found that there were
mo™ successful guessers for the I'’ l . 1 ™

Os the number who guessed, quite a
large percentage of our subscribers not
having guessed at all, there were 4.,S who
supplied, the missing kvord, which was
“structure.” ,
There having been 1.208 guesses accord
ing to the terms of the contest, one-fourth
of $1,208 is the aggregate amount to be
divided among the successful guessers.
which is S3O-’.
Os those who guessed there were 438
who supplied the missing word. An un
usually large number having guessed cor
rectly, the pro rata of the successful com
petitors is not as large as it would ordinari
ly be.
With a fund of $:1O2 to be divided among
438 persons it is found that each is en
titled to GO cents, and a check for that
amount will accordingly be sent to every
one of the following addresses.
It is true tLi 1 amount is not large, hut
they get in addition the bests weekly news
paper published in the world.
We announce also in this issue the next,
missing word contest, which will not con
clude until the Ist’of September.
Between now and that time several thou
sand subscribers should take advantage of
this splendid opportunity to secure a por
tion of the fund to be divided o n the Ist
of September.
Suppose, for instance, that on the Ist
f>f September it is found that 5.000 sub
scribers are found to have s«nt ballots for
the missing word contest. This would al
low a division _>f $1,250 among those who
supply properly the missing word.
Here is a chance for every one. and our
readers should take prompt advantage of
it.
The Successful Guessers.
Here are the successful guessers in the
April contest. It will b e noticed that
seven I .] oi inem ;ire credited with a mini
her of successful ballots. It should be.re
membered that every agent or subscriber
is entitled to a guess with every subscrip
tion sent, and every correct guess counts

NO HOPE FOR CARLYLE HARRIS.
Governor Flower Refuses to Interfere—ln
fonniug the Doomed Man.
Albany, N. Y., May 4. —Governor Elower
has denied the application for clemency for
Carlyle IV. Harris and Harris will be elec
trocuted during the week iiegiiining next
Monday. The governor, after refusing the
elenn ney, reviews points of evidence and
concludes as follows;
This inquiry into the cause by the examina
tion of '.vitne#es and otherwise, le.iies no
have endeavored to give to the application
mauds ami win-1, the popular interest in
tliis ease calls for. But so far as the court
mid jury could determine. Harris was guilty
of a heinous crime, revolting in its concep
tion and in (lie depravity of its perpetrator,
ami no satisfactory considerations have been
presented to the executive to justify ids in
tervention in the execution of'the ’sentence.
’The application for clemency is therefore de
nied.
H-rri* Informed of Hit Fate.
Sing Sing, May 4.-At 1 o'clock this after
noon message was received at the prison
by Charles i- . Durstou, agent ami warden,
of Sing Sing prison, saying that, the gov
ernor, will not interfere in the Carlyle W.
Harris case.
Deputy Warden Durston immediately
went to the prison to notify Harris. As
the warden approached his cell, Harris
arose from his iron cot and Dressed forward
to the grating. In low solemn tones yet
wiih a kindly intonation the now warden,
whom he had never before seen, told the
young wife poinsoner of iho governor’s re
fusal to interfere in his behalf.
Have I tlie privilege of seeing my moth
er again. Ik> asked in faltering tones,
‘b«dore —before —. ”
Then camo a moment of silence that rhe
com passionate warden hesitated to break
in upon.
•‘Certainly,” replied the warden,
who had informed the once
promising youth of the doom that could
not bo verted.
“Then, please tell her to come to see
mo as soon as possible.” he whispered, and
tinned away despairingly. The warden
said, on his return to the office:
”1 have seen a great many nien in des
perate positions, but never before have I
seen a man so cool under like circum
stances..
He Bld, Farewell to His Parents.
Sing Sing May 7.-Car)yle Harris has
said tarewell to his parents and friends and
nil that is dear to him on earth, and ho now
awaits the messenger of death. The last
act in tlie strange drama nf his life an
proa eh ps, and while ho shows nervous agi
tation and full appreciation of the terrible
thing that is to come to him on the mor
row, no signs of breaking down are visible,
lie adheres to his oft-repeated declaration
of innocence, and he has spent the best
part,of his last ,day on earth, not in com
munion with spiritual advisors, preparing
for the great hereafter, but with pen. ink
and paper, reviewing the past and seeking
Io place himself right with the world he
leaves.
Bills Ills Mother Farewell.
Mrs. Harris remained at her boarding
house today. She took her last farewell of
her boy last afternoon. The scene was one
of tlie saddest that has ever been witnessed
within the grim walls, where all is sadness.
I»is l ather Visits Him.
This afternoon, shortly after 4 o’clock,
Charles J’’. Harris, the father, accompanied
by young Allan, went to the prison. Al
though the rules do not permit visitors to
enter on Sunday, an exception was made,
and the father and son met for the first t’:m»
in years.
Mr. and Mrs. Harris have lived apart
for some time. The sons remained with the
mother. When the final decision of the
governor came, Mr. Harris determined to
see bis son once more before all was over.
He arrived yesterday and went at once to
the house where Mrs. Harris is stopping.
Father and mother met again on the eve of
the death of their first born.
Mr. Harris remained with his wife until
this evening when he visited Carlyle and
talked with hint less than a half an hour.
Then the father took the train back to his
home in Syracuse, leaving Mrs. Harris and
Allan to await the end. that they can carry
awav the mortal remains of their beloved.
Will Take Place About Noon.
All the preparations have been made for
tomorrow. The electrocution will take
place about noon. State Electrician Davis
has tested the dynamo and the apparatus,
and found that everything is in order. The
apparatus is the same which he has used
at the Last two electrocutions here.

‘‘A fountain of gardens, a well of, living
waters, and streams from Lebanon.
Some of the finest gardens of the olden
times were to be found at the foot of Mount
.Lebanon. Snow descended, and winter
whitened the top of the mountain then,
when the warm spring weather came, the
snows melted and poured down the side of
the mountain, and gave great luxuriance
to the gardens at the foot; and you see now
the allusion of my text, when it speaks of
the fountain of gardens, and streams fiom
Lebanon.
Again and again the church is represented
as a garden, all up and down the word of
God, and it is a figure specially suggestive
at. this season of the year, when the parks
and the orchards are about to put tort a
their blossoms, aud the air is tilled with
bird voices. . ....
A mother wished to impress her child
with the love of God; and so in the
springtime, after the ground had been
prepared in the garden, she took a handful
of Hewer seed, and scattered these seei.s
in the shape Ot letters all across the bed
of the garden. Weeks passed by, and the
rain and the sunshine had done their woik,
and one day the child came in and said.
"Mother, come quick to the garden—come
now.” The mother followed the child to
the garden, and the little child said,
here, mother: see, it is spelt all over the
ground in flowers, ’God is Love.

wave, lessons in stars on the sky, lessons
in Howers all over the earth.
Well, niv friends, you know very will,

r-u 'on Ami vet 1 have to tell you now of
a garden of'vaster expense--the garden
spoken of in my text—a fountain « f Mi
dens with the streams from Lebai.o. .
Walter Scott had the great ambition of
his life to build Abbotsford and lay out ex
tonsive gardens round about it. It biok<
his earl that not complete the
work as ho desired it. At his last piijm.’ht
of 100,0(10 pounds, alter laying out those
■•amens, a n.i imil.iing that palm e”1 Abbots-
T'.C'U al inat time his heart broke, his
healih saned, and ue died almost an im
'■’Tfew- years ago. when I walked through
those gardens, and 1 thought al what vast
, xp'.mse thev had been laid out. a the ex
panse of ihi'it man’s life, it seemed 1 could
see in the crimson Howers the bloo.i of
the old man’s broken heart. but 1 have
to tell vou now of a garden laid out at
vaster expense—who can calculate that
vast expense? Tell me. ye women who
watched him hang: te’l me, ye executioners
who lifted and let him down; tell me,
thou son that didst hide, and ye rocks that
did fall, what rhe laying out of this gar
den cost. This morning, amid the aroma
and brightness of the” .springtime, it is ap
propriate that I show you how the church
of Christ is a garden.
I remark first, it is a garden because ot
the rare plants in it. That would he a
strange garden in which there were no
flowers. If you cannot find them any
where else you will find them along the
paths, and you will find them al the gate
way.
If there be no especial taste and no es
pecial means, you w ill vm! tit 're ihe holly
hock, and the daffodil, and the dahlia. If
there be no especial taste and no especial
means, vou will find the Mexican ei’ctus,
and the blue hell, and the arbutus, ..nd the
clusters of oleanders.
Flowers there must bo in every garden,
and 1 have to tell you thar in the garden
of the church are the rarest plants. Some
times you will find the violet, inconspicu
ous. but sweet as heaven -Christian souls,
with no pretense, but of vast usefulness,
eomparativclj- unknown or, earth, hut to
be glorious in celestial spheres. Violets
and violets all the time. You cannot tell
where these Christians have boon, save bv
rhe brightening face of tlie invalid, or the
steaming tureen on the stand near the
sick pillow, or the new curtain that keeps
our. the glare of the sun from the poor
man's cot. Such characters are perli.aps
better typified bj- the ranunculus which
goes creeping between the thorns anil the
briars of this life, giving a kiss for a sting;
and nirin.v a man has thought that life be
fore him was a black rock of trouble, and
found it covered all over with delightsome
jasmine of Christian sympathy.
In this garden of the Lord I find the
Mexican cactus, loveliness within, thorns
without, men with great, sharpness and
behavior .and manner, but within them the
peace of God. the love of Gad, the grace
of God. Thej- .are hard men to handle,
uglj- men to touch, very apt to strike back
when you strike them, yet within them
all loveliness and attraction, while outside
so compTetcl.v unfortunate. Mexican cactus
all the tune.
Said a placid elder to a Christian minis
ter: “Doctor, you would do better to
control your temper." "Ah:” said the
minister to the placid elder, "1 control more
temper in five minutes than you do in five
years.” These people, gifted men, who
have great exasperation of manner, and
seem to be verj- different from what thejj
should be. really have in their souls tha I
which commends them to the Lord. Met I
can cactus all the time. So a man said 1 :
me years ago. “Do yon think I ought 0
become a member of tlie church—l h rp
such a violent temper.
“Yesterday I vvns crossing Jersey 'By
ferry. It was ver.v early in the nio'ing
nnd I saw .a milkman putting a large u:)!i
--titypf wafer into his can. and. I said ‘thaf
is enough, sir,' and ho got off the cat und
me. and I knocked him down.
Well,” said ho, “do you think I eo‘d evet’
become a Christian?" That mar bad in
his soul the grace of the Lord jsus. but
outside ho was full of thorns, ail full °f
brambles, and full of exaspera °” s : but
he could not hear the. story of- Savior's
tnere.v told without having the tears roll
down his cheek. There was loveliness
within, but roughness outside. Mexican
cactus ell the time.
But I remember in boyhood hat. wo had
in our father's garden what ve called the
giant of battle a peculiar rose.ver.v red and
verj- fiery. Suggestive it wits
called the giant of battle. And so in the
garden of the Lord we find that kind of
flower —the Pauls and Martin Luthers, tlie
AVvcliffes, the John Knoxes— giants of
battle, MTiat in other men is a spark, in
them is a conflagration; when thej- pray,
their prayers take fire. When thej- suffer
tlicx- sweat great drops of blood; when thej'
pro'ffich it is a pente cost when they fight it is
a Thermopylae: when they die it is martyr
dom-giants of battle. “Yon say. AVlij’
have we not more of them in the Church of
Christ at this time?” I answer your ques
tion by asking another: "Whj' have ""
not more Cromwells and Humboldts in the
world?” God wants only a few giants or
battle; they do their work and they do it
well. , .
But. I find also in the church of God a
plant that I shall call the snowdrop, verj'
beautiful but cold: it is verj - pure, pure as
the snowdrop, beautiful as the snowdrop,
and as cold as the snoW'drop. No special
sympathy. That kind of a man never loses his
patience; he never weeps, he never flashes
with auger, he never utters a rash word.
Always cold, always precise, always pas
sive, beautiful snowdrop, but 1 don t like
him: I would rather have one giant, of bat
tle than S,<XM) snowdrops.
Give ine a man who may make some mis
takes in his ardor for the Lord’s service,
rather than that kind of nature which
snends it whole life doing one thing, and
that is keeping equilibrium. There are
snowdrops in all Iho churches —men without
anj- sympathy. Ver.v good: they are in the
garden of the Lord, therefore I know they
ought to be (here; but always snowdrops.
You have seen in some places perhaps
a centurj' plant. Ido not suppose there is
a person in this house xvho has ever seen
more than one centurj' plant in full bloom,
and when you see the centurj' plant your
emotions are stirred. Y'oti look at it and
say, “This flower has been gathering up its
beauty for a whole century, and it will not
bloom again for another hundred years.
Well, I have to tell you that in this garden
of the church, spoken of in my text, there
is a centurv plant.
It has gathered up its bloom from all
the ages of eternity, and nineteen centuries
ago it put forth its glory. It is not only
a centurj' plant but a. passion-flower
the passion-flower of Christ; a crimson
flower, blood at the root and blood on the
leaves, the passion-flower of Jesus, tl’.e cen
tury plant of eternity. Come, () winds
from the north, and winds from the siuth,
and winds from theeast. and winds from the
west, and scatter the perfume of this flower
through all nations.
Substantial comfort will not grow
In nature's barren soil.
All we can boast till Christ we know
Is vanity and toil.
Thou, the Christ of all the ages, hast
garments smelling of myrrh and aloes aud
cassia out of the ivory palaces.
1 go further, and say the church of Christ
is appropriately compared to a earden be
cause of its thorough irrigation. There can
be no luxurient garden without plent.v of
water. 1 saw a garden in the midst of the
desert amid the Rocky mountains. I said,
how is it possible you have so manj* flowers,
so much rich fruit and a desert for miles
around? I suppose some of you have seen
those gardens. Well, thej' told me they
had aqueducts and pipes reaching up to
the hills and the snows melted on the Si
erra Nevada and the Rockj' nfountains and
then poured down in water to those e juiducts
and it kept the fields in great luxuriance.
And 1 thought to myself—how like the gar
den of Christ! All around it. the barrenness
of sin and the barrenness of the xvorkL
but our eyes are unto the hills from whence
cometh cur help. There is a river the
streams whereof shall make glad the city
of our God, the fountain of gardens and
streams from Leanon. Water to .‘■lake the
thirst, water to refresh the fa it ting, water
to wash the unclean, water to toss up in foun
tains under the sun of righteousness until
you can see the rainbow around the throne.
I wandered in a garden of Brazilian cash
ew-nut and I saw the luxuriance of those j
gordens was helped bj’ the alum- j
dant suppl.v of water. I came to it on a <iaj- ;
when strangers were not admitted, but, by !
a strange coincidence, at the moment 1 got j
in the king's chariot pass ed and the gardener j
went up on the hill and turned on the water i
and it came flashing down the broad stairs
of stone until sunlight and wave in glee
some wrestle tumbled at mj’ feet. And so
it is with tiiis garden of Christ. Everything
comes from above — pardon from above,
peace from above, comfort from above, sanct
ification from above. Streams from Leba
non, oh: the consolation from this th might.
Would God that tin- gardeners
tinned on the fountain of salvation until
tlie place where we sit and stand might be
come Elim with twelve wells of waler and
threescore and ten palm trees. But 1 hear
jiis sound at the garden gate. I hoar the
lilting of tlie latch of the gale. Who v omes
there? It is the gardener who passes in
through the garden gate. He comes through
this path of the garden ami he comes to
the aged man ami lie says, "O, titan, 1 come
to help thee, 1 come to strengthen thee.
Down to hoarj' hairs I will shelter thee.
1 will give thee strength at the time of old
age. I will not leave. I will never forsake
thee. Peace, broken-hearted old man, 1
will be thy consolation forever.”
And then Christ, the gardener, comes
up another path of the garden and he sees
a soul in great trouble and he says, "Hush,
trouble spirit, the sun shall not smite thee
bj- day, nor the moon by night, the
shall preserve thee from all evil, the Lon|.,
shall preserve thy soul.” And then the gaf-ji
dener comes up another path of tin' garde—
and he comes where there are some beautif’CJ
buds, and I say. "Stop, O Gardener, do u | £
break them off.” But he breaks ill
off, the beautiful buds, and I see a gr
flutter among the leaves, and I xvor ,
what he is doing, and he says, "I d.
come to destroy these Howers; I
going to plant them in a higher te v ,’,
and in the garden around my palace. ' ;
come into my garden to gather
must take back a whole cluster of
I’eace, troubled soul; all shall nl( >.

and forbid them not. for of such of
