The cruiser JNeff York, for Instance, is
rated in a.l 01i1ci.1I publications as a 21
knot ship, rrnin August. lfcOO, to October.
1B03, the best run she made was at the
rate oi fifteen knots per hour, which was
from Kiel to Gravesend, a distance of
Gb5 knots, at the oitse oi the canal cele

Gravesend to .New York she made fourteen
knots, burning 8S2 tows olf coal for3,0d0
knots, but her average speed Tor the year
was about ten knots.
OUK OWN COIAJiHIIA.
The Columbia, ralrd officially at 22.S
knots, irora New York to Southampton,
made las knots, anJ burnt 1,320 loas 01
coal for 3.315 knots, while returning iiuiltr
orders to make a record. She accomplished

In the opinion of naval experts she was

hlcal Serslco Hendered by the Choir.
It Is now fairly evident that there will
for suiuu. time to coine be a great crush at
the evening sermons of Dr. Talmage. Tho
secoud of thu sermons of that distinguished
preacher as co-iiastur of the First Presby
terian Church was delivered in that build
lug last night when the scenes and inci
dents were similar to those of his ieaugnral
sermon. K-u.
'iueru was a great crowd lu the street
waiting tne opeunig of the doors, the same
ceiaciiiiicul ot police lo keep back the en
thusiastic throng who oeslred merely to
g.ua auiuiitanev, aad the uuie jtaiient en
Uarauce with tho hope of success-
Tne crowd witluu tbe churcU was in no
degree less than that of bunrtay night a
week ago. The vesUbule was, however,
clear ulcer the opeumg of the sermon, as
U was uemsary lo keep tne tuner uoors
closed for tne comfort of the crowd Inside.
Tue ucuvLcsi aua iiewsneUI each more Uiau
tneir iiuota, the u Isles were filled for some
cusiauefrom the doors toward the rostrum
and the space between the rear benches
aud tae esi wall of the church was com
pletely filled. Of course, there were Ie-twec-a
cju aud 300 who stood up tlurlog
the euUre services.
The evening service began under these
circumstances at 7:30 o'clock. Tbe hymns
ror the evening for the whole congregation
were "Joy to the Wond, Uie Lord Is
Come," and at (be close, "Lord, Dismiss Us
with Thy Blessing." Tbe solo and concerted
music was by members of the very efficient
choir or Ihe church.

greater lorce and persuaMveneas thau on
the lormer occasion here. The utmost si
lence reigned throughout tbe vast congre
gation as the speaker developed the Inter
esting theme.
WOKDB FOKTJIE DISABLED.
Dr. Talmage's subje-ct was "Itcmarkx
for the disabled," the text se4ected being:
I. SamuHs. -s-TT-fi, -.s tin, part is that
goeth ilown to the battle, so shall his part
be that tarrietH by the stuff."
He began with that effective abruptness
which Is one of his characteristics, and
plaoged into a vivid description of the
ilrtiarture or David and bis army In pur
suit or the Amalekiles to recapture their
families.
borne men had to watch the baggage
and for this duty were detailed the .soldier
wounded in previous battles, too weak to
fight, bat strong enough for guards. Then
he described the victory of David over
the foe, drunk and disorganized, gloat
ing over their spods.
-"What a tune," he exclaimed, "it is
now for David and his men to swoop on
them. So the English lost the liattie of
Bannockburn, because the night liefore
they were In wassail and bibulous celebra
tion, while the Scotch were in prayer. So
tbe Syrians were overthrown in their
carousal by the Israelites. So Chcdor
laomer and his army were overthmwa in
their carousal by Abraham and his men.
So, in our civil war, more than once the
battle was lost because one of the gener
als was drunk.
11ETURN TO CAMP.
"Now Is the time Tor David and his men
to swoop npon these carousing Amalekltrs.
Some ff the Amalckites are hacked to
nieces on tbe spot, some or thtra are Jnst
able to ko staggering and Inccoughhig oft
the fjehl, home of them crawl oa earners
and speed otr In the distant- David and his
men gather together the w.trdrobes. the
jewels, "and put them upon the backs or
camels, and Into wagons, and they gather
together the sheep and cattle that had ,
oeeu stolen, ana siari oacc towaru tne
garrison. Yonder they come, yonder they
come. The limping nun or the garnson
come out and greet them with vi'.it huzza.
The Bible says David saluted tbein. That
is. he asked them how tliey all were.'How
Is vour broken arm?" "How Is jour frac
tured Jaw? "Has the stiffened limb been A
nnllmbcred? "Have ysm had another
chill?' "Are you getting better"' He
saluted tbem.-
"But now came a very difficult thing,
the distribution of the srol!s of victory.
Drive up those laden camels now. Who
shall have the spoils? Well, some elflsh
soul suggests that thee treasures ocght
all to belong to these who had been out in
acUve service. "We did all the fighting
whde these men stayed at home in tho
garrion, and we ought to have all the
treasures.' But David looked" Into the
wcrniaccs of these veterans who liadstayefl
in tbe garrison, and be looked around and
raw how cleanly every Uung had berii kept,
and he saw ibat the baggage was ull sarc.
and he knew that these wounded and
cnooled men would gladly enough havo
lieen at the Iront If the had been able, and
tbe little general looks up from under his
helmet and says: No. no, let us have fair
Dlay;' and he rushes up to cno of these
men and sajs: "Hold your hands tcgetlier.'
and the hands are held together, and no
fius them with silver.
DIVIDING THE BOOTY.
"And he rushes up to another man who
was sitting away back and bad no idea of
getting any of the spoils, and throws a
Babylonish garment over him and nils his
hnnii wilh e-olil. And he ruyhcs un to an-
r other man who had lost all liia pn perty in J
serving tiod and his coiuiir ycur- iieiore,
and be drives up some of thecattleand some
of the sheep tha t tliey had brought liack f mm
the Amalckites. and he gives two or three
of ihe cntUe and three or four of tbefheep
to this poor man so that he shall always
be fed and clothed.
Hcstsrs a man so. maci.itedand worn out
and sick lie needs stimulants, and he gives
him a little of Ihe wine that he brought
from the Amalekites. Yonder Is a man
who lias no appetite for the rough rations
or the army, and he gives him a rare morsel
from the Araalekitlsh banquet, and tho
two hundred cripple and maimed and aged
soldiers who tarried on garrison duty get
Just as much or the spoils of battle as any
of the two hundred men that went to the
front. "As his part Is that goeth down to
the battle, so shall bis part be that tarneth
by the Muff.
"The impression Is abroad that theChris

is as important and as remunerative as
serelce at Ihe front. 'As his part Is that

LESSON OF THE TEXT.
"These 200 men of Hie text who fainted
by the Brook Besor, did their whole duty;
they watched the baggage, they took care
of the stuff, and they got as much ot the
spoils of victory as the men who went to
the front. "As his part Is that goeth down
to the battle, so shall his part lie that tarrieth
by the stuff.'
"There is high encouragement In this for
all who have great responsibility and little
credit for what they do. You know the

then the cry will go round the circle. 'Come

you away down there, old and sick and
decrepit and discouraged because you could
not go to the front, bat 'As his part Is that

"There is high consolation, also, in this
for aged ministers. I see some of them
here to-day. They sit in pews in our
hardies. They used to stand in pulpits.
Their hair is white with the blossoms of
the tne of life. Their names marked on
the roll of the General Assembly, or of the

hear a text announced which bnugs to mind
