LET YOUNG MEN LEAD.
The Lesson Drawn From the
History of Gideos.
HOW TO APPLY IT IN SEATTLE.
Mr. Baldwfa u t«**| -Mr, *«•-
tier m Effftt of Natore's Beaa
tfee-- Or. George's
At the First Baptist church last night
Rev. Thomas Baldwin, wbo i* tempo
rarily tilling tbe pal pit pending tbe arrival
of tbe new pastor, prrvhed on* of hia
plain, common-sense sermons to young
men, one of the several be baa delivered
within the part two month*. Hie •ab
ject vii "Gideon as a Model Young Man,"
tbe Bioie passage describing Gideons in
dtwtrjr, per*evera«ce, ate,. bt;nj taken aa
a test.
Mr. Baldwin first dsaeribed Gideon.
After the Medianites had harrassed Israel
for seven years, be said, and all the p«o
--pse were poor and distressed, this young
man, Gtdeon, is found hidden in a wine
press threablng oat grain for bis fsmily's
food. "Setting aside tb« fact that he was
btisiljr employed in a usefni occupation,"
said tbe preacher, "the very fact that
Gideon bad a family, aitho ig 1 * only a
poor young man. goes far to prove him a
model for young men. Any young man
in this or any other age who aUows him
self to grow np and live on pa«t bis ma
jority to the age of 30 years without
having a wife and childrra ts almost sure
to be far from a model man. Only a very
great eirueo indeed can be acre pled lor
*a<*h a young man.
"But to continue, the fact that Gideon
was providing for bis family is a great
point In bis favor. This hiebe*t duty God
can impose upon man Gideon was faith
fully performing, and before doing so he
made carefu: inquiry of the Lord a* to the
manner in which he could best perform it.
He was not discouraged; he waited until
he got an answer, until he knew his ap
pointment. Help and assistance be got in
that war, a way which is still open for
young men. <* »d will hear toeir troubles
and give them advice an 1 consolation now
as then. Was it any wonder, t»en, when
the Lord wanted such a man and Gideon
applied for an appointment, that he got
one which tested his ability. The Lord
knew upon whom he was depending. He
commissioned him to strike against tbe
Baal worship then sanping tbe land; to
strike against Baa!, as the Lord said. And
Gideon obeyed. He cut down the groves
and threw down the altars, and iti their
place he set up the religion of the true
God.
• This proves another thing noticeable
in all ths Lord's groat work, namely, that
He uaod the help of young men alwar*.
Not merelv good young men. such as are
plenty enough, but yoang men of brain
and atnew. of action, mode) young men.
There comes a day when the old men
ahouid take ths rear rank and step aside
to let the young blood to the front. Tnis
ia so in all worldly aflairs, even in
churches. The young man should have
his place in them. Let the seniors do as
did Elijah when he took the mantle from
hts shoulders and east it over these of
Elisba—gracefully step aside. Ths Appli
cation to be made of this ia that right here
In Seattle, under our eery noses, the
young men are not doing work in which
thsy should be engagsd, merely because
they are barred by their youth. There
should be a place made for them. us
call upon thstu aa the Lord called upon
Gideon."
THE LESSON FROM BABEL.
Or. Oonrgo Discourses on How Ood Dis
poses of Man's I'ruposal*.
Rev. W. P. George, I). IK, preached yes
terday morning in the First Presbyterian
church on the subject. "Man Proposes,
but Ood Disposes," his text being the
story of the tower of Babel in the eleventh
chapter of Genesis. I>r. George said the
history concerned itself wuh the progress
and early settlement of the Hamttic race,
the descendants of the second son of Noah.
The blessing* given by Nor.h to his three
sons were singularly fulfilled in their de
scendants. "God shall enlarge Japhet
and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem,"
is a blessing fulfilled today in the restless
but successful colonizing tendencies of the
Japhetic race, whose dominion is enlarged
to fill the whole earth.
The iiamitic race was remarkable for its
architectural triumphs, and the winded
bulls and itons and colossal figures dis
entombed in our own day by Henry Aus
ten Layard and others from Nineveh give
evidence of their work and skill. The
pyramids of F.gypt and the Mexican tro
phies a so bear testimony to the same tacts.
Whether or no. as generally taught,
Mesopotamia was the cradle of the race
and the Garden of Kden, or whether it is
Atinntis.ss s lirrea'.ed by Ignatius Donnelly,
or the North Pole, as taught by Dr. War
ren, of Poeton. in which esse the early
tribes would dujwrae along the lines of the
*-eat mountain ranges, vaileys and oceans
instead of laterallr across them, it is cer
tain from the sacred record, as well as
from the simtlar monuments left in their
wakes, that Pat el was the work of the
Hamites. Their sin was disohe lienre to
the divine command
God had toid them to be fruitful and
'multiply, to replenish the earth and sutw
dne it. Instead of this, when they came
!•> the plains of Shinar, the determined to
centralise themselves m a citv and to hu d
a tower to pierce the clouds. The object
of this tower w .a undoubtedly that of the
idolatrous worship of the sun and
heavenly bodies, and a rallying point
#<>r the inhabitants of the level plain.
These men possessed Important elements
of diata-ter. They had a purpose and a
programme in life. Without a pur
p"*- a man is like a ship without a
rttdder or cotnpase. They also had ambi
tion. 1 hey desired tc improve their con
dition in life, Thev had self-reliance,
and that is good. They had skill, as is
shown by the way they made tUeir bricks
and baked them. They a:so did their
work so thorough y that th>*se samehri ks
with inscriptions on them remain and are
deciphered in our museum* todav i

NATt'KE'S ISSPIRINO BEACTIES.
Mr. !i*ttl«( Toll* »f «h» Egaets oa Mao
and Hi* Hark*.
On the subject of "Maa's Work." Re*.
Wallace Nutting la*t evening preached at
tbe£Piymoath Congregational church a
sermon from the text, "The deep calieth
onto deep." Psalm in which he
gare the people of Seattle hia reason a for
thinking that they ousht to ba great and
good on account of tbe s-enery surround
ing their city if for no other and higher
reason. Tbe aermon abounded tn descrip
tions of the heantie* of nature. In course
of hia sermon Mr. Nutting said:
"Where we live God has evidentlv
planned for a crsdle of giant minds. All
great poems bare been written near tiie
mountains or tbe sea. From Homer's
lo'id-soundmg sra to Longfellow's deep
voi< ed neighboring ocean it has seemed to
require the great works of God to inspire
U> great works of man. Take out of liter
ature tbe skv and ocean, tbe forest#, des
erts, rivers. storms artd mountain* and it
is hopeieasiy crippled and belittied. If
there was a mointa'it w:thin His reach
Jc* is always went up into it to pray.
•*Tber» i* a refinement about the true
son of natura tbat can never be learned in
drawing rooms; there is a deep culture in
ruminating on the wonders ot the uni
▼rrse. These high things are the gates of
glory; if we bid them lift up their heads
their king wjtl appear; and woe to that
hind spirit that sees in them only specu
lative menase of value, for he ia like the
anr<ent merchant soiling the moat beauti
ful creations of God into slavery.
"The offlce of ah God's works and God's
men is to stand at the tombs of our
souls and say, 'Come forth.*
"The advantage ol large views is cbietiy
that they show us the falsity of partial
judgments. A very small section of a
mountain soems to us a* we are wrestling
in one ol its gorges strange, unraaaonabie,
unnecessary. It is only when we stand
apart and look on it, or, better still, when
we look down from its summit, that we
perceive how it possesses a unity and com
pleteness that is perfectly aatiaiactory.
These depths in our naturea therefore
ou?ht to be stirred ; superficial judgment
is wrong, and when we pray humbly we
always find ourselves taking wide views
of the providence of God.
"We read that in tbe time of the deluge
the foundati its of the great deep were
broken up. The ordinary man has covered
Irs better nanire with a giace of jollity, a
saeet frosting of conventionality, and
neither t*e nor God get at the man. He
needs breaki'jr up, or breaking down, if
y<»u choos". When men say, in the phrase
of the day,'l'm alt broken up,*" then is
your time to get after them. The deeps in
their natures are then accessible. It is
then that you must echo to them the voice
ot the nnending song. They who have
l>een deaf lor years rnn now hear the faint
est invitation of liod's angels. How much
ol the prayer for your soul have you heard
tonight? Has the real presence of the
riAviof of sinners beeu made audible to
you bv His knocking just outside? If not,
the crust is not brotien in us; deep does
not call onto deep.
"Now, a man's true station is attained
by answering the calls ot the deep im
mensities around him. Much of life is
like 'sweet bells janrling out of tune. 5
Who plays on your life? Who is allotted
to touch its holv chords and strike its
hidden keys? I>o you wear your heart
upon your sleeve for every impudent jay
bird to peck at and eat out? Tiie careless
ness of the irreverent who cheapen them
selves and suppose themselves shallow—
men who are cheap only because they
waste themselves on swine—all this is
throwing open the holy of holies in your
self to be the home of vampires. I had a
bill from the city tbe other day which was
addressed I like the name rev
erent better than reverend, but I had
never supposed th*s city snvornment re
garded me ;is reverent—towards them at
least. Now every man ought to be rever
ent towards his own manhood. He does
not know what there is in it. because it is
the deepest mystery etcept God. When
nian thoroughly understands his own
spirit he will also know God, the knowl
edge of both will he teachea at the same
time. It is a man's best work therefore to
discover what Ood can do with him by
locking deeply into olher men where he
can see himseif.
"Nature, of which we were speaking,
cannot drop the plummet into the pro
fundities of human hearts. After all, it
can on! v reach the length of itself, and it
falls short of what is in man. Only God
can reveal us to ourselves. Only a cross is
deep enough to touch bottom in the
any sac* of spirit, and as it falls if dis
covers a.I that is there. As the sounding
ball brings up the sample of what soil is
at the ?>ottom of ti>e sea, so does God im
mersed in a human spirit make its
good and bail qualities apparent. You
rail this conversion, but that is only a
beginning of upheavals, discoveries, cast
ing up ot pearls and mud -casting out
one and setting the other in permanent
and useful glory."

Mr>'amtra Charged With Being aw Alleo
aad Importing MrNamarat Wholesale.
The fight in the city hail between Street
Commissioner Tim Ryan and James Mc-
Namara. foreman ot tbe sewer tunnel, and
it* causes were the subject of discussion in
the sporting and political fraternity yes
terday, ail agreeing that it was a pleasant
diversion from Kruggery. The cause
seems to be a charge which has been frce.y
made that McNamara, although holding a
responsible position for tbe city, is dis
qualified through not being naturalized.
Tins statement has been repeatedly
brought to the attention of the city offi
cials, but not only has it received uoatten
tion but it is alleged that McNamara has
been allowed to violate the imported con
tract labor law by bringing thirteen other
members of his family from Canada to
help hint to dig the tunnel. Matt Brane
gan openly makes these charges, and
claims that the licking McNsmara gave
Ryan was really intended for himself. He
made the following statement to the POST-
IxTELU<>r?« ek yesterday:
"McNamara wanted to lick me. not
Ryan, because I said be was not a citizen.
He said he wonld lick Ryan. Brannegan
or Lynch. Lynch is a bricklayer whom
Ryan wanted McNamara to give a job in
the sewer tunnel, but McNamara refused
because, he said. Lynch was not a brick
layer. 1 say he is no judge of a bricklayer,
for the only buiidmg he ever put up in
Seattle was the Brodek-Schlessinger
Dailding, which fell down. McNamara is
not a citizen; he declared bis intention on
February 15, ISftJ. and voted in the Second
ward for Ronald iast spring and again
last fail, though he cannot legally vote.
There are fourteen McNamaras in Seat
tie now, ail relatives of the superintend
ent, who came from Canada to work in
the sewer tunnels, and the only man be
sides them who has worsed in the tunnels
is Charles Hawkey, an American. R. H.
Thompson, the city engineer, and J. W.
Van Brocklin, who claim to be Republi
cans, hired this man McNamara, though
they knew he was not a citizen, and there
fore could not legally be employed under
the charter. They said he was the only
man fit for the position, but neither of
them knew whether he was ht for it.
Thompson has no practical knowledge of
the work, and Van Brocklin knows still
less. Matt Brakxigax.

Denny School .fanltor's Encounter With
a Cigarette Fiend-
J. L. Melvin, janitor of the Denny school
in North Seattle, was knocked insensible
last night about 8 o'clock by a young
tough* who, with three girls, had taken
possession of one of the porches, contrary
to an established rule.
During the afternoon Mr. Melvin had a
sharp argument with the young man about
smoking cigarettes on the steps and on the
porches of the school building. The jani
tor says the young fellow replied in an in
sulting manner but eventually went away
with his companions.
In the evening, Frank Melvin, the jani
tor's son, was going to visit a playmate.
Joseph Burk, when he saw three girls and
a young man in one of the porches on the
north side of the building. He immedi
ately told his lather, who went out to
drive them away. Instead of complying
with the order, the young man,
whom he l*eheves to 1* the
one he saw in the afternoon, walked
up to Mr. Melvin, and after a few rough
remarks, knocked him down and. accord
ing to an eye witness, kicked him. The
young fellow and the girls ran away,
leav.ng Mr. Melvin insensible on the
ground. He recovered slightly, however.
In » short time and was assisted to his
rooms in the building by his wife, son
and Joseph Burk. For more than
an honr he remained in a dazed
condition, and to make things worse was
attacked by a severe chill. His injuries
consist of two bruises on the head, one on
each shoulder and the right arm. He
complained of pains in his jaw, which
would indicate that his assailant scored a
knockout and the bruises were dne to the
fall.
Mr. Melvin believes he would be able to
identify the man, and describes him as
short, thick set and well dressed in dark
clothes. The girls called him "Fred."
One of the girls is named Lizzie. None
of the parties attend school.

Hateher Knife Meals Pocket Knife in a
Orunken Affray.
A stabbing affray occurred at Port
Hlakeley Saturday morning between two
Japanese laborers. As is customary with
the Japanese, they kept the particulars of
the affray to themselves, and did not
trouble the officers of the law. Whisky
was the cause, and in true Oriental style
they started in to carve each other. One
had a pocket knite and the other a butcher
knife. The latter came out victorious,
having stabbed his adversary in the
stomach, let: side and face, besides cutting
off a finger.
A doctor was called in to sew up the
wounds. The condition of the wounded
Japanese is said to be serious.

Gee Lee k Co. to Build at W ash-
ingrton and Fifth.
PROGRESS ON OTHER BUILDINGS
Chaptn's Department Stores Being
Bashed—Several Permits f»r Reet
deaces— The Cascade Schooltaouse.
A new building is about to be erected by
tbe Chinese firm of free Lee <t Co. at the
corner of South Fifth and Waahington
streets. This firm now occupies a build
ing in the Whitechapel block which must
be vacated to make way for tbe buiiding
of the Great Northern depot, and the new
buiiding will be constructed with especial
reference to their accommodation. It will
be of brick and stone, and four stories in
height. It will be feet with three
stores on the ground floor and the upper
portion arranged for storage and living
rooms. Ptaus are not yet drawn but will
be prepared so that work can be begun
very soon. Contractor Dow will have the
matter in charge.
Tne top story is now being put on the
Chapin department store building on Sec
ond street. The walls of the upper story
are well advanced and the pillars and sur
mounting timbers are up over about half
of the buiiding. Considerable progress
has been made during the week in putting
up the iron front.
The tilth ana last story of the Collins
block. Second and J times streets, is now
being put on. and it will not be iong until
the structure is under roof.
The roof of the new Cascade school
house has been completed, and for the
past week plasterers have been at work
within ths buiiding.
The new schoolhouse in West Seattle is
very nearly completed.
The residence of R. A. Brown, on Rose
street, north of Madison, has been com
pleted and is now occupied by the owner
and his family.
Daring the last week Superintendent
Helms has issued thirty-two building per
mits, the principal ones being as follows:
E. A. Brown, two-story frame house on
Willard street, between Hitch and Villard
streets, to cost 11,000; Wmship Bros., re
pairs on four-story brick on Yesler avenue,
between Commercial and West. $1.(4)0; E.

frame building on Silver street, between
Choate aud Cooper, $3,000; the M:sses
Hyde, two-story frame building on Chest
nut street, between Madison and Adams,
$2,200. The balance of the permits were
for small repairs. Tins mak»s a total of
ninety-three permits for this month to
date.
AMOKO THE LABOR I'.MO.NS.
No Delegate to Attend American Fed
eration of l.ahor Convention.
There is no longer any prospect that a
delegate will be sent trom this state by
labor organizations to represent them in
the convention of the American Federa
tion of Lanor, to be held in Chicago in De
cember. The expense of sending a dele
gate is too great for any one of the central
organisations to bear, and greater, it
leems. than ail three are now willing to
contribute. The Western Central Labor
Union proposed to the central bodies of
Tacoma and Spokane that the three join
and send a delegate. Tacoma responded
favorably, but left the initiatory steps to
be taken here. Spokane has not responded
at all, and at the last meeting of the West
ern Central the question was laid on the
table indefinitely. The continued dull
ness of trade among the labor unions has
caused them to wifely husband their re
sources and the money that would be
spent in sending a delegate to Chicago will
be of service during the coming winter,
which is generally looked forward to by
trades unions as a hard one.
The Fishermen's Union, which organ
ized and attempted to contro 1 the price ot
fish, has had no meeting in several weeks.
They were unable to maintain the union
scale of prices and the union is practically
broken up for this season.
The Typographical Union held a short
special meeting Saturday afternoon. The
regular monthly meeting will occur next
Sunday.

•'Oar Kegiinont" Tonight.
"Our Regiment," a four-act farce-comedy
adapted from the German, will be the at
traction at Cordray's this week, commenc
ing with this evening, and as the patrons
of Cordray's are noted for their fondness
for plays that aft'ori plenty of amusement
it is sate to say that "Our Reiriment" will
prove lully as attractive as "Hands Across
the Seas," which was given its last rep
resentation last night to a crowded house.
"Our Regiment" is a succession ol humor
ous situations, with the characters con
tinually at cross purposes, *o that the play
affords a constant laugh almost from be
ginning to end. The great success achieved
by the new com pan v last week is hoped to
be repeated, as there appears to be consid
erable comedy talent among the leading
people.
The auditorium will have for its attrac
tions Sebastian Miller, the stroog man, in
feats of streneth; Charles Clarke, the ec
centric comedian; John Gilrov, the con
tortionist, and Smith and Edu, song and
dance artists.
"Klllarnev" Coming.
Katie Emmett and her splendid com
pany will be the attraction at the new
Seattle theater next Frulav and Saturday,
when she will present her popular Irish
drama, "Killarney." The New York Re
corder sava that the play, with which Mies
Kuimett opened the season at the Star
theater, scored a positive hit The play
possesses far more originality than the
average of new dramas. The action is
brisk, the dialogue almost always interest
ing, and the advantage* for scenic display
fully util xed. Miss Emmett does not at
tempt to monopolize the stage, and several
other characters share the honors with
her. The company supporting her was
distinctly excellent, and consisted of a
class of players not usually found in Irish
dramas, headed by the silver-voiced tenor,
Andrew Mack.
The "Ben-Hut-" Keeltal.
It is too late to go to th« World's fair at
Chicago, hut it is not too late to go to see
"Ben-Hur" Tuesday evening, October ii 4.
at Plymouth Congregational church. It
is to be the amusement event of the week
and the costume recital of the season. It
is rapidly nearing completion, and there
is no doubt that the treat promised by
those having the entertainment in charge
will surpass all their promises. Xo mat
ter whether or not you went to Chicago
and were taken in by the Arabs dressed as
Turks, here is an opportunity to see and
hear oi the genuine Oriental of long ago.
How to see the World'* fair.
