AN iNVJTAHU'I'Q T ALL
DR. TALMAGE CHCOSE T.
WORD "COME" FOR.A TEXT.
It is Found Six Hunidred :aind r'veno
Eight Times in the Biile-It I.,ne' of
the Most Wonderful Word' in lie L.:%i
guage.
BROOKLYN, Jan. 16.-Dr. Talmaie
preached the following sermon tiis
morning to an overtlowing conregation
in the Academy of Music. tis city. A
night. when The Christian lierald ser
vice was held in the New York Acade
my of Music, fully six thousanu vtr
sons were massed in the lar'e buii
ing. A marked solemnity pervaded
the assembly, and at its close man
persons in various parts of th noust
rose at the invitation of the preacher to
ask for prayers for their salvation. Dr.
Dr. Talmage chose the fol ewing exts
fer his sermon: "Come"e (. vi. lN:
"Come" (Rev. xii, 17)
Imperial, tender and all pe suav
is this word "Come." S x iunred nd
seventy-eight times is it found In the
Scriptures. Itstans at tie front gat:e
of the Bible as in my first text, inuvnin
antediluvians into Noah's ark. and it
stands at the other gate of the uible as
in my second text, invitint the postdi
luvians into the ark of a Saviour's me.
cy. "Come" is only a word of four
letters, but It. is the queen of words. anud
nearly the entire nation of Eughsh
vocabulary bows to its scepter. It is
an ocean into which empty ten thous
and rivers of meaning. Other words
drive, but this beckons.
All moods of feeling bath that word
"Come." Sometimes it weeps and
sometimes it laughs. Sonietimes it
prays, sometimes it tempts and some
times it destroys. It sounds from the
door of church and from the seraglios of
sin, from the gates of heaven and the
gates of hell. It is coutluent and aceres
cent of all power. It is the helress ot
most of the past and the almoner of
most of the future. "Come!" You may
pronounce it so that all the heavens will
be heard in its cadences, or pronounce
it so that all the woes of time and eter
nity sh'all reverberate in its one sylla
ble. It is on the lip of. saint and pro
fligate. It is the mightiest of all soli
tants either for good or bad.
"COMES" SOMETIMES WAR.
'You must remember that in many
cases our "Come" has a mightier
"Come" to conquer before it has any
effect at all. Just give me the accurate
census, the statistics, of how many are
down in fraud, in drunkennEss, in gai
bling, in impurity, or in vice of any sort.
and I will give you the accurate census
or statistics of how many have been
slain by the word "Come." "Come
and click wine glasses with me at this
ivory bar." "Come and see what we
can win at this greing table." "Come.
enter with me this doubtful speculation."
"Come with me and read those infidel
tracts on Christianity." "Come with
me to a place of bad amusement."
"Come with me in a gay bout throuuh
underground New York." If in ths
city there are twenty thousand who are
down in moral character, then twenty
thousand fell under the power of the
word "Come."
I was reading of a wife whose husband
had been overthrown by strong dri..k,
and she went to the saloon were lie was
ruined, and she said. "Give me back my
husband." And the bartender, point
ing to a maudlin and ban e:ed man
drowsing in the corner of tihe barroom,
said: "There he is. 'Jim. wake up.
here's your wife come for yon.'" And
the woman said: "Do you call that my
husband ? Whbat have you becn doing
with him? Is that the mnlyn~ brow?
Is that the clear eve? Is that the
noble heart that I married? Whbat vileI
drug have you given him that has turned
him into a fiend? Take your tigzer claws
off' of him. Uncoil those serpent fbids
of evil habit that are crushing him.
Give me back my hus band, the one with
whomn I stood at tile altar ten years ago.
Give him back to me." Vieutm w'as
he, as millions of others have bcen, 0I
the word "Come!"
LET US HARNESS TIIIS WCoRI) FOR
GtooD.
Now we want all the world over to
harness this word for good as others
have harnessed it for evil, and it will
draw the five continents and the seas be
tween them, yea, it will draw the whole
earth back to the God from which it has
wandered. It is that wooing and per
puasive work that will lead men to give
up their sins. Was skepticisnm ever
brought into love of the truth by an ebul
lition of hot words against infidelity
Was ever the blasphenmer stopped in his
oaths by denunciation of blasphemv?
Was ever a drurkard weaned from his
cups by the tc-n >erance lecturer's minm
icry of staggering step and hiiceough? No.
It was: "Come with me to church to
day and hear our singing." "Come and
let me introduce you to a Caristain man
whom you will be sure to admire."
"Come with me into associations that
are cheerful and good and inspiring;
"Come with me into joy such as you
never bef'o.e experienced."
With that word which has done so
much for others I approach you to-day.
Are you all right with God? "No," you
say,- "I think not; I am sometimes
alarmed when I think of him; I fear I
will not be ready to meet him in the
last day; my heart is Rot right with
God." Come then and have it made
right. Through the Christ who died to
save you, come! What is the use in
waiting? The longer you wait the furth
er off' you are, and the deeper you are
down. Strike out for heaven! You re
member that a few years ago a steamer
called the Princess Alice with a crowd
of excursionists aboard, sank in the
Thames, and there was an awf'ul
sacrifice of life. A boatman from the
shore put out for the rescue, and he had
a big boat and lie got it so full it would
not hold another person, and as lie laid
hold of the oars to pull for the shore,
leaving hundreds helphless and drown
ing, he cried out. "Oh, that I had a big
ger beat!" Thank God. I am not thus
limited, and that I can promise room for
all in this gospel boat. Get in; get i!
And yet there is room. Room in thle
heart of a pardonmng God. Room in
heaven. L
THERE IS No ESCAP.E ERtoMLN
- RUGGLE.
I also apply the wordh of my' text to
those who would like practical comniort.
If any ever escape the struggle of life,. I
have not found them. They are not cer
tainly among the prosperous class. 1In
most cases it was a struggie all thle wayv
up till they reached thle prosperity, ad
since they have reached these heights
there have been perplexities, anxieties
and crises which were ahnuon enou h
to shatter tile nerves and tur'n the brain.
It would be hard to tell whieh have th'e
biggest fight in the world-the pros
perities or the adversities, theC
conspicuities or the obscurities. .Just
as soon as you have enough su
ces to attract the attention of other
the enyies and jealousies are let ioos
from their kennel. The greatest crime
that you can commit in the estimation
of others is to get on better than they
do. They think your addition is their
subtraction. Five hundred persons start
for a certain goal ol success; one reaches
it and the other four hundred and ninety
ine are mad. It would take volumies
to hold the story of the wrongs. outrages
and defamations that have comec upon
you as a result of your success. The
warm sun of prosperity brings into life a
smp full of annoying inects.

But the word -Come" applied to
thoze who need solace will amount to
nothiug unless it ie uttered by some
one who has experienced that solace.
That spreads the responsibily of giving
this gospel call among a great many.
Those who have lost prpperty and been
cousoled by religion in that trial are the
ones to invite those who have failed in
usiness. Those who have lost their
health and been consoled by religion are
the ones to invite those who are in poor
health. Those who have had bereave
ments and been consoled in those be
reavements a. e the ones to sympathize
with those who have lost father or mother
or comvanion or child or friend. What
iultitudes ofius ate alive today, and in
ood health. and buoyant in this life,
who would have been broken down or
lead long a-o but for the sustaining and
cheerin- help of our holy religion! So
we say -Come!" The well is not dry.
The buckets are not empty. The sup
ly is not exhausted. There is just as
much mercy aud condolence and sooth
mug power in God as before the first
grave was dug, or the first tear started,
or the irt heart broken, or the first ac
ident happened, or the lirst fortune
vaiishedl. Those of us who have felt
the consolatory power of religion have
right to speak out of our own experi
enes. and say "Come!"
"But." says some one. "von Chris
Iatia people keep telling us to 'Come,'
et vonu do net teil us how to come."
iit chtarge :;all not be true on this
icasin. Come believing! Come re
ipntn2! Come praying! After all that
ud has been doing for six thousand
eas, sometimes throtighi patriarchs and
ometmes througth prophiets. and at last
hrough the culmination of all tragedies
on G1olotha, can any one think that
God will not welcome your coming?
Will a father at vast outlay construct a
ruanson for his son, and lay out parks
white with statues, and green with
foliage, and all a-spa.rkle with fountains,
ma 'thea not ailow his son to live in
the house or walk in the parks ? Has
od built this house ot Gospel mercy,
nd will lie then refuse entrance to his
children? WI a go enent at great

YOU NEED BUT LBELIEVE TWO TIIGS.
"But," you say. "there are so many
things I hav: to believe, and so many
things in tne shape of a creed that I
have to adopt, that I am kept back."
o. no! Tou need believe but two
things-namfely, that Jesus Christ came
into the world to save sinners, and that
you are one of them. "But," you say,
I do believe both of these things!"
)o von really believe them with all
our~ heart? -Yes." Why then you

One day a messenger in great excite

And the sick soldier turned on his hos

the messenger responded. Thie czar

A CHATTANOOGA TRAGEDY.
A Drunken Lawyer Skoets his Daughter
and Murders his Son-in-law.
CHATTANOOGA, January 18.-A hor
rible tragedy occurred here to-day. S. M.
Fugett, casier of the South Chatta
n:>oga !avngs Bank, was shot and kill
ed by lils father-in-law, Judge J. A.
Warder, who is city attorney of Chatta
nooga. Judge Warder is shot in two
places-one ball having penetrated his
breast at the right nipple and the other
having taken off the index flinger of the
left hand.
Mrs. Fugett is the only child of Judze
Warder and she is shot in the right thigh.
a very dangerous wound.
From tho evidence at the coroner's in
quest it appears thatJudge Warder went
home at 1 o'clock in a very drunken con
dition and ihnmediately went to Mr. and
Mrs. Fugett's room, where the shooting
took place as soon as he entered.
Mr. and Mrs. Fugett lived with Judge
and Mrs. Warder in College street.
There were seven shots fired by Judge
Warder and two by. Fugett. It is said
that Mrs. Fugett was the first person
shot and that Fugett then fell dead, shot
through the heart. He was found with a
newspaper in one hand and a pistol,
with two chambers enpty in the other.
Mrs. Fugett was lying over him, with
her arms entwining him, piteously cry
ing for some one to save him. Judge
Warder staggered to a nighbor's house
and is now there in a precarious condi
tion.
Mrs. Fugett is also unable to speak
and what took place in the room aside
from the shooting is not known. From
the evidence before the coroner's jury it
appears that Judge Warder would fre
quently go home drunk and abuse his
wife and daughter. and the women would
appeal for protection to to Mr. Fugett.
Such trouble occurred late Saturday night
and Fugett quieted his father-in-law.
Mr. and Mrs. Fugett had been married
but two years, have been living happily
together, and had a five montks-old
baby.
Mr. Fugett was a young man, about
30 years of age. popular, successful
busiess man. Mrs. Fugett is a very
handsome woman.
Judge Warder is one of the best known
lawyers in this State. For six years
he was United States district attorney
for the middle district of Tennessee,
having been apptinted by President
Iayes. He was a brave and gallant
Union soldier, and is one of the most
prominent Republican politicians in the
State. lie owns considerable property
and has a large and lucrative practice in
this city. He is a man of the highest
culture, and most polished and affable
manners. is domestic affairs have
alway been supposed to be the happiest.
The affair created a great sensation
here and the opinion seem to be general
that it was the result of a craz-y drunk.
They Tried it Again.
Miss Elizabeth was a very 'peculiar
woman. She had a great deal of sense.
Not that she was different from other
women in this respect, but she had so
much of it that it surprised many young
men.
One day young Robinson went to call
on her. Young Robinson was also very
sensible. He and Miss Elizabeth were
well matched. They could talk together
on any number of subjects, and they
knew just when and where to stop, just
what to say and what not to say. On
this particular day there was a long
story in the afternoou papers about a
person known as Jack the Kisser, who
bothered man-y young women and girls
in the streets by catching them and kiss
ig them.
Miss Elizabeth said that she did not
think that a girl could be kissed by any
man unless she wanted him to kiss her.
Robinson said that any man could kiss
any woman by brute force. MLiss Eliza
beth said that that was all nonsence.
"I'll tell you what we'll do," said
Robinson. "You are certain that a man
can not kiss a woman unless she is a
party to the kissing. I am certain that
a man can. We, you and I, will try it."
Miss Elizabeth said that she didn't
see any harm in that, so Bobinson began
to try and kiss her. After several min
utes and trials he succeeded, and she,
seeing it was useless to combat with him
further, gave in and let him kiss her all
ie wanted to.
When it was all oyer Miss Elizabeth
had an inspiration.
"I'll tell you what we'll do," said
Miss Elizabeth. "My ioot slipped that
time. We'll try it over agan."
Agreed to Swap Wivee.
COLUMBUS, Ind., Jan. 19.-A queer
story comes from Williamsburg relative
to Frank IHelms, of that lhace, and Dan
ie Smith of Carlos City, agreein" to
svap wives. It is said that the Ihelms
were diconsolate because they had no
children and the Smiths because they
were bein:: favored with too many. By
the swap Smith's wife, four children and
a small farm were to go to Ihelms andl
Helm's wife and a small town property
to Smith. But Justice Rush of Carlos
Cty, on whom they depended to satisfy
thelaw while they were satisfying them
selves, could not ~find any authority for
divorce and remaraia',e under such cir
cumstaces, and hence the swap hangs
fire.v
The latest is that the contracting
parties have agreed that eachi shall ap
py for a divorce at the coming term of
court on the ground of cruel and inhuman
treatment and then remarry according
to the origial agreement.
Killed by an Earthquake.
CITY OF Mixico, Jan. 15.-Three
earthquakes occurred to-day at Parral.
ii the State of Chihuahara. The gallery
at the convent of the Sacred Iheart gave

ALG IERS, Jan. l1).-Reports from var

The shocks were very severe at (Sourasa,
near Cherchell. Parts of the bunilding~s
of the village were demolished and
p~ersons buried in the ruins.

W~ILINGTON, January 29.-Iln the
Ilouse to-day. iu pursuance of the poi
cy adopted by the Demovrats, Mr.
Bland, of Misouri demiandIed the
readinz of th .Journal of -%esterday's
prMceedings ' in e'so. The clerk
having concludi the reming. Mr.
Uland mnlade the point tiiat the .Jour
nal had not been r':'-d in fiull and de
ianded that the ete rintion of the va
rious executive comonunicafions, reso
lutions, bills and petitions. which are
referred under lim riil vnd not in
onen Io.se, read.
The 'weaker directed te clerk to
read this portin 'f the .iournal, which
is ordlianly omitl
This was lv fia the largest portion
o0 the Jornal and ts readiing was not
complet- till I1 o'ck Then ensued
one of the wi .s ens of confusion
that the 1o10 s ' during the
present Congress.
The Speaker having stated the ties
tion to be on approval of the Journal
and having counted and stated an af
irniative vote, Mr. Mills, rising to a
parliamentary question, asked whether
the proper question was not on order
ing the previous questi;>n.
This qUery was based upon the fact
that when the clerk had linislied read
ing the ilrst part of the Journal, the
portion usually read Mr. McKinley had
demanded the previous question.
The Speaker, in response to the ques
tion, stated this fact, but said that the
demand had not been renewed after
the reading of the completed Journal.
Mr. McKinley corororborated the
statement of the Speaker.
Mr. Mills then expressed his wish to
debate the question of approving the
Journal. but the Speaker declined to
recognize him on the ground that the
House was dividing.
T1HEN TiIE sTORM-CLOUD BURST.
With excited gestures Mr. Mills
strode down the aisle and,: shaking his
tist at the Speaker poured out a vol
uie of denunciation, accusing him of
practicing fraud on the House.
-You are perpetrating a fraud on the
House," lie th undered,*"and ou know,"
and his party colleagues burst into a
round of applause and cheers, and
gathered around their champion.
But the Speaker was immovable and
amid the excitement requested those
opposed to approving the Journal to
rise. Phlegnatically lie counted "one.
two, three" and announced the motion
carried-97 to 3.
The yeas and nays were demanded
by the Democrats and ordered, and as
the clerk proceeded to call the roll Mr.
Mills poured out his denunciations.
Again he accused the Sneaker of per
petrating fraud on the House, and re
ferring to Mr. McKinley said: "We
did not expect the gentleman from
Ohio to lend himself to such a pro
ceeding. We relied on the gentleman
from Onio, for we believed him an
honorable gentleman, and we knew he,
indicatigg the Speaker, was not."
AN EXC~ \NGE OF COMPLIMENT6.
Mr. Pc-rkins. of Kansas, sarcastically:
-'And he (indicating Mills) is a gentle
man."
Mr. Allen, of Mississippi: "That is
more than can be said of some persons
on the other side."
Then as the clerk went on monoton
ously calling the roll, Mr. Mills, ignor
ing him, proceeded substantially as
follows:
"'You do not dare to go before the
country with such a revoltitionary
measure as you are proposing to pass.
We have the right under the rules to
debate the question of approving the
Journal and you (addressing the Speak
er) are denying that right." [Demo
cratic cheers.]
Mr. Kerr, of Iowa: "Such proceed
ings as these are treasonable, and they
are headed by a man who helped trea
son before."
Mr. Mills: "You are a traitor your
self to the Constitution and the laws.
You arc trying to surround the ballot
box with bayonets, and to deprive the
people of their right of representa
tion."
Then follo wed enthusiastic Demo
ratic applause, while the Republicans
crowded to the bar of the Ihouse and
announced their disapproval by lusty
hisses.
The Ihouse was a regular babel of
voices, excited, loud, but unintelligi
Mr. Cutcheon, of Michigan. stood in
the centre aisle, and as Mr. Mills went
on repeated with indignation and em
phasis one word. "Bosh."
Mr. Mills's reply to this exclamation
was, "Bring another resolution of cn
sure."
A CALL FOiR TiHE 5ERGE ANT AT ARMS.
By this time affairs had approached
o near to personal collision between
gentlemen on the opposiing sides that
the Speaker was oblige:1 to call on the
iergeantI-at-arms for assistance, and
that ofli: er, bearing the mace in front
f him, induced Mr. Mills to take his
seat, and the storm passed away for a
dime.
The Journal was approved-yeas 144,
nays 1(3-but the mutterings of the
torm were still heard.
TIIE DISTRICT BILL.
Mr. McComuas moved that the House
;o in committee on the District of Co
umbia appropriation bill. i ol
M. M ills inquired whether i ol
3e in order to move that there be one
0ur's debate on the bill.
The Speaker replied that it would
iot, the time fixed for general debate

In the course of the debate which at
.ended the reading of the paragraphs
:he elections bill w-as brought to the
Lore, Mr. Ilemphill dleclaring against
what he denominated the '"arrant
iypocri:y" of the Republican party in

The negro question was brought up
v Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, who
oted many newspaper extracts as to
ie treatmient o1 negroes m Northern
The allegation that negroes were
:uil't tr'ted in those States was vig
rouely contested by Messrs. Illender
on of lliiinis, and Morse, of Massa
auetts. the latter calling attention to
he act th~at the present Admuinistra
'on had appointed six hundred and
even coloredc mn. to c'iceial position.
N r. Spinola, ot Niew Y ork, samd that
.n New York- the negrro was given
very right and priv elege that white
ien enjoyed. ie despised the con
:emptible and dirty politician who
:ried to use the negro for his own pur
poses. New Y ork guatranteed every
right to its colored citiens. Blut whenj
Republicans come for ward with a fore
dill, saying its purpose was to protect
he negro, it was not true.
Trhen a d1iscussin arose on a propo
sition to close the debate on an impor
tant pa. 2graph.
Mr. McComas having made a motion
to that effect, Mr. Mc'Creary, of Ken
Lucky, miovedl to amend it by limiting
the debate to one hour. The point of
order wa~s raissd against the amiendl
ment o thle ground that a motion to
close the debate was not amendable by1
a moti;:n to liuit the de~bate.

BLOWN UP BY NATURAL GAS.
T-o Gil. Kild, T.o l.-iwos Fatally
Injured and a Nml.er H urt.
PmtTsn:Una(. danuary 18.-A special
ti-om Findlay. Oho. avs: The first
.rcat udisae er fidi:ay has ever exper"en
ced fi-om the u-e o' natural gas occurred
shourtll befor 2 'cLc k this afternoon
while the get oi the Hotel Marvin
were wain to lie summnoned to "inner.
This morili t was Iiscovered that
gas was ezcaldng Ifl m a pipe somehliere
into the dnin room. and Mr Miarvin.
the owner of the buiIding, with three
plumbers, spent the entire forenoon try
ing to locate the leak. About 1 o'clock
they entered a chamber underneath the
dining room and found such an accumu
lation of gas that they could not breathe
and it was suggested that a hole be
sawed through the iloor into the dining
room in order to obtain fresh air. This
was done and just as the hole was made
one of the dining room girls. who was
sweeping the iloor, stepped upon a
match, and in an instant an explosion
occurred which not only wrecked the
building, but killed two girls and maimed
and injured a dozen other employees.
The force of the explosion was so great
that it blew out the Ilame of the ignited
gas and no fire followed the awful ruin
which the shock caused.
The whole building was rocked as it in
an earthquake by the concussion, and all
the windows on the square were demol
ished. while the wreck of the hotel build
ing was all but complete, the only rooms
in the house escaping destruction being
the parlors and office.
Had the explosioa occurred ten min
utes later the loss of life would have been
frightful, as nearly a hundred people
were waitng in their rooms to be called
to dinner, and one of the clerks was on
his way to make this announcement
when the explosion occurred, and he was
caught in the fialling debris, lie being one
of the painfully injured.
When the work of removing the dead
and rescuing the injured began, it was
found that Katie Walters, a waitress,
was killed outright; Ella Johnson, a
dining room girl, was alive under the
mass of brick and mortar, and died short
lv after being carried to a piece of safety;
Kate Rooney. another dining room girl,
was also fatally injured, but is still alive;
Frank Poundstone, day clerk at the he
tel, was painfully bruised and cut about
the neck and fiace. Ile will recover.
Anson Marvin. owner of the building,
who was with the plumbers under the
dning room floor when the explosion
ccurred. is probably fa tally injured, as a
great deal of the lame from the gas was
inhaled. Five others were injured, but
will recover.
Riotous Railroad! Strikers.
1FORT L1UDsoN, Jan. 15.-The strik
ers, who so far have been as a rule ac
ting~ in an orderly manner. are beginning
to display riotous felings. Crowds of
strikers to-day made desperate attacks
uou the several railroad stations in
this city and immediate vicinity. They
pelted the stations with stones until
hardly a whole pane of glass could be
seen in the windows of these buildings.
They also attacked and completely
wrckedl a large single station. The
police at the first sign of the rioting con
eentratedl at convenient points and did
their utmost to save the railroad com
panies' property. The bitterness of feel
ing on the part of the strikers is increas
ing daily and there are signs possibly of
serious riotingf.____________
