THE POWER or JESUS.
Cnlike Nature, He Can Forgive
Sins ami Heal Wounds.
At the Church of Christ yesterday
morning, Rev. Mr. Lahmon preached an
interesting sermon on the "Power of
Jesus. He said In substance:
•'Jesus forgiving sins, healing dis
eases and accused Of blasphemy."
Mark, ii.. H2. We must make Jesus
a welcome guest to our country, our
homes and our hearts, else he will be
grieved away. With Jesus healing was
a minor matter. Ilia foremost mission
was to preach. We hear of remarkable
healers, of men and women with strange
clairvoyant and magnetic powers by
which "they seem almost to drive out
disease. We hear of faith cures and
mind cures and science cures. If
1 am not mistaken, some of
these methods claim affinity with
Christ and the apostles' methods.
Christ seems never unnecessarily to
have invited opposition. On the con
trary, lie frequently enjoined silence.
In one mighty word he invaded the
realm of satan, asserted his divine
position and lifted himself in lofty se
renity above the carping scribes. This
1 sa\* was a step forward; and it was a
bold one. The die was east; the divine
claim was now made. He had thrown
down the gauntlet and his enemies were
not slow to pick it up. Not that he un
necessarily gave offense or that he pro
posed to defend himself by force, but
that in his judgment the time had come
to declare himself openly and to make
bold his position. Immediately they
-...I; "This man speaks blasphemies.
Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
At that moment the shadow of the cross
seemed to fall on Jesus. He read
their thoughts, lie felt their op
position like a chill on lib soul, and lie
astonished them by asking calmly why !
they reasoned so. A little more reason
ing might have convinced them that He
was a searcher of hearts, and that lie
saw their sins as plainly as those of the
sick man. The impotent palsied man
was blessed with faith; the able-bodied
scribes were cursed with hatred. Such
contrasts are continually found along
Christ's pathway and that of his church.
His opponents were silent, and He con
tinued asking them whether it was
easier to forgive sins or to heal diseases,
intimating that to the Son of .Man, to
the Son of God, to the Supreme
Man. all such works are alike easy.
bat relation docs sin bear to disease?
What relation does sin bear to healing?
We may not with our mental philoso
phy and medical science be able to an
swer these questions fully, but we
know that the Bibles puts sin at the
root of all disease, and makes them
both stern and mournful facts. Some
one has said, every scab on the brow of j
that leper is caused by sin. It is sin I
that has caused our deafness and our j
blindness and our dumbness and our
lameness. According to Genesis death
came when sin came, and disease seems
to be but the approach of the death.
When Jesus strikes at sin lie lays the
ax at the root of the disease. Possibly
ilia power to forgive is the secret of
ills erreat power to heal. Our phy
sicians resort to drugs, and
baths, and surgery and electric
shocks; they demand time and
the help of nature, and send their pa
tients to the Hot Springs, and to Flor
ida, and to California for a chance of
climate. Jesus says, I forgive you; 10,
you are well. He is the fundamental
physician, pitying the sould that is
whole to make and inhabit the body
that is whole. Possibly here is a hint
of what our life shall be in that world
where no sickness Is and where health
eoes hand in hand with the marching
thousands of years.
A word about forgiveness and I close.
Nature never forgives. Jesus says, "I
pour a healing balm into jour wounds
and there shall be no scars. Are you
dying? Nay. you shall live. lam Lord
of life, l have conquered death. In my
presence there is no fatal wound to
either soul or body. I forgive sins; I
heal diseases:! stay the hand of Death."
The presence of one who forgives is
proof of a Providence high over nature
and her coUl realism; a Providence that
f-ees and has mercy; that lives and loves
and reigns supreme.
VALUE OF MORALITY.
There, is No Antagonism Between
It and Religion.
At the Grand Opera house yesterday
morning, Rev. Marion D. Shutter
preached on "The Religious Value of
Morality." He said, in substance,- that
the distinction that has been made be
tween morality and religion, so far as it
involves antagonism between them, is
wholly arbitrary. There is no antagon
ism. Life is one and these, when rightly
understood are its two sides. They are
halves of one grand whole. Religion
without morality is impossible; moral
ity without religion is incomplete.
Morality is that side of life which is
turned towards earth and its in
terests, towards our fellow men and
our relations to them; religion is that
side of life which is turned upward.
whose aspirations and desires look to
ward the throne of the Eternal, But
life is one; it cannot be divided. No
theology can cut it in sunder. To say
that, the earthward side of life is of no
avail in the sight of God, is to cut out
that part of our text which bids us "do
justly and love mercy." The preaching
of the old prophets, of John, of Jesus,
of the apostles, laid great stress upon
what would now be called "mere mo
rality." The idea that one must believe
in the vicarious sacrifice in order to be a
Christian, is constantly taught to-day.
Let us fix once and forever the principle
that responsibility is not tranferable.
Let us get that principle firmly in mind.
No one can expiate our sons. No one
can bear the penalty of our trans
gressions. No one can turn his right
eousness over to us or make
us partners in it. Before the laws of
God, written in our souls and bodies, in
the rocks and stars, on the pages of
prophets and apostles, each one stands
for himself, according to his ability.
No man is exempt, no angel is exempt.
"Be not deceived; he that doeth right
eousness is righteous," not he to whom
righteousness Is imputed, or in some
mystic way uncarted. But what of
God? What of Christ? What of faith?
Is there room for these? Yes, for all.
Room for God. From the higher to the
lower influences descend to help the
lower up. .Streams flow down the
mountain side to the valley, and upward
along the course of the stream grasses
and flowers creep toward the top: so
from God descend the influences that
Ol help us up from the valleys to
.. the mountain-tops of life. Room
for Christ. We believe that he
was the divinest man who ever
trod this planet; that he entered into
the Blind and heart of God as no one
else has ever done and interpreted that
mind and heart for us. We believe
that He lived and conquered as a man,
and gave us an example and a hope.
Ahe same throne of grace is accessible
to us. The same sources of power are
purs. The same victory is possible,
lie of eood cheer; I have overcome
the world." That He loves our sins in
any vicarious sense we do not believe;
that the influence of His life and death
helps men out of their sins, we believe
with all our heart ! Christ is not right
eous for us, but teaches us how to be
righteous and sets us the example.
Room for faith— faith in the central
principle of goodness and progress in
the universe; faith in the immutability
of law; In the certainty that whatso
ever a man soweth that shall he also
reap; that there is no refuge for the
soul in any imaginary haven, in any
robe of another's wearing; that the
only refuge is in turning from sin to
righteousness; that here, where often
the soul that would bo happy must
cease from sin and seek tho face of
God. Personal righteousness is the
only salvation.
A MORAL HERa
True to Heart Within ami the God
Above.
Rev. George L. Morrill preached at
Calvary Baptist church yesterday morn
ing on "Moral lleros." He said: "The
growing splendor of our nation has its
roots in the graves of men who were
true to 'heart within and God over
head.' Napoleon's prophecy has been
fulfilled: 'Posterity will talk of Wash
ington with reverence as the founder of
a great empire when my name shall be
lost in the vortex of revolutions.'
America, more than any land, needed
a man on whose arm she could lean,
and one whose head and heart she could
trust. The God who called and fitted
Cyrus for his position gave us a man
whom the world united with Everett
in declaring to be 'the greatest of good
men and best of great men.' Ancient
or modern history records no name of
any comparison with the general whose
camp was pitched amid • the
deepest trust in God, and
whose heart was as large as humanity.
The mother said: "lam not surprised
at what George has done, for he was
always a good boy." Greater than the
official position he occupied or the
measures he originated or carried
through was his Christian character,
which tells us that true success in pub
lic life is not incompatible with, but
Impossible without religion. Natural
science with Darwin accent tells us that
morals and religion are distinct -that
morality is mere produce and religion
vague emotion— but conscience, who
rules both and makes them one, says:
"Let God be true and every man a liar."
A characteristic of tin religion of Jesus
Christ is its unyielding regard for moral
obligation. Pagan religions are im
moral in form and spirit.
Born of a spirit which rays "righteous
ness exalteth a nation, but sin is a re
proach to any people." Washington
declares that ""reason and experience
both forbid us to expect that national
morality can prevail in exclusion of re
ligious principle." It is high time for
party politicians and lying lawyers to
remember that religion is the only sure
basis for public law and private virtue
and nothing else will do on a soil where
patrician culture and plebean heart are
united in one. True greatness and
goodness are synonymous in the realm
of government, philosophy, science and
art. May the God of our* fathers with
hold the* impious hand of those who
would stab liberty's heart and drain it
of the purity and truth which course
the broad arteries of our national life.
"The righteous shall be in everlasting
remembrance: the name of the wicked
shall rot." May lie who never spoke or
acted like man help us learn the lesson
of life's laws in their relation to God
and man. Let us trust Him at all times
as Washington did that 'tying we may
say with our loved immortal, "'tis well.
Father of mercies take me to Thyself."
THE NEW ELECTION LAW.
The hiteman election law, under
which the next election in this state will
be held, is considered by many of our
citizens as an experiment. But
there is nothing in this law
which is experimental, for it .is
almost an exact copy of the election
law of the state of New York, where it
has been in force for years, and where
it has given general satisfaction. The
particular aim of this law is
to eliminate fraud from the
elections held in the large
cities and towns, and to give
every honest voter a chance to use his
elective franchise as he thinks best,
freely and without molestation, and to
have the same accredited to the candi
dates, for whose benefit the franchise
was exercised.
*
The section of this law which fixes
the maximum number of voters to be
contained in any one election precinct,
gives every voter a chance to deposit
his ballot without delay, which is
a right which was seldom en
joyed under the old law.
The section requiring the posting in a
conspicuous place in each election pre
cinct of the names and residences of all
persons registered and entitled to vote
in such precinct, one week be
fore election day, allows time
to ascertain whether the persons regis
tered are bona fide residents of
the precinct, and effectually does away
with fraudulent registration and re
peating. The eighth subdivision of the
section, defining the legal resi
dence of a voter, is as follows:
"The mere intention to acquire a
new residence, without the fact of re
moval, shall avail nothing; neither
shall the fact of removal without inten
tion. And no person employed tempor
arily in the construction or repair of
any railroad, canal, or other work of a
public nature,shall acquire a residence in
any election precinct into which he came
for that purpose, so as to entitle him to
vote therein. In any question that may
arise as to the right of any person in the
employment of any railroad corporation
to be registered or to vote in any elec
tion precinct, it must first satisfac
torily appear to all the judges of
said election precinct, that the said
party is an actual bona fida resident of
said election precinct, and not there for
temporary purposes merely; and the
mere affidavit of such person shall not
be received as conclusive as to any fact
necessary to entitle him to vote."
* *
#
This section, it will be seen, prevents
large gangs of men em loyed tempor
arily in grading railroads from acquir
ing a residence at the place of their
temporary employment, and outvoting
the bona tide residents, as has been the
custom too often heretofore. It also re
moves the employer from the position
he has so long held in this state, as the
arbiter of the way the men in his em
ploy shall vote.
***
Another subdivision on the same mat
ter effectually sets at rest the question
of allowing students of the state uni
versity and other colleges and schools
to vote at their temporary abode, and
which question has been the cause of
considerable controversy and conten
tion in former elections. It reads as
follows: "A person shall not be con
sidered to have gained a residence in
any county into which he conies for
temporary purposes merely, without
the intention of making such county his
home."
* *
The manner of registering is quite
different from the system under the old
law, when nothing was entered on the
register but the voter's name and resi
dence. The new law requires in addi
tion to the name and residence of the
person registering.the place of nativity,
length of residence in the state, county
and election predinct, and the place last
registered, and if the applicant is for
eign born, the fact that he is natural
ized, with the date of the naturalization
papers and the place where they were
obtained.
* *
Another good feature of the law is
that in all cities of 5,000 inhabitants and
upward, the time for closing the polls
shall be 7 o'clock, which is two hours
later than under the old law, and conse
quently men engaged at day's
work, will have a chance to
vote after quitting work. Under
the old law they were compelled to vote
at the noon hour, or else take time from
their working hours. The sec
tion in regard to tickets re
quires that the ballots shall be
divided as follows: A ticket
indorsed "electors" shall contain the
names for presidential electors voted
for; the ticket indorsed "state" the
the Saint patjl daily globe.- Monday morning, February 27, issa
names flfor state officers voted for;
the ticket indorsed "judiciary" the
names tor judges voted for; tho ticket
indorsed "congress" the name for con
gressman voted for; the ticket indorsed
"legislature" the. names for members of
the legislature voted for; the ticket in
dorsed "county," the names for county
officers voted for, and the ticket in
dorsed "city" the names for city officers
voted for. Seperate ballot boxes are
requited for each of the different
kinds of indorsed tickets. After the
polls are closed the election judges must
immediately commence the canvass of
the ballots cast during the election.
This canvass must be made in public,
and must be continued without inter
mission until completed, when the re
sult must bo publicly declared.
* *
This law also makes it a misdemeanor
for any person to vote tit a caucus or
primary election who is not a bona fide
resident of the district in which said
caucus or primary election is held, or
for any person to make any false re
turn of the ballots cast, or offering
any bribe or consideration to any dele
gate elected at said primary election,
for his vote, and fixes as a penalty for
such misdemeanor a line not ex
ceeding $3,000, or imprisonment
not exceeding three years, or
both fine and imprisonment.
Section 103 of this law reads as follows:
"The words 'primary election' used in
this act shall be construed so as to em
brace all elections held by any political
party, convention, organization or
association, or delegates therefrom, for
the purpose of choosing candidates for
office, or the election of delegates to
other conventions, or for the purpose of
election officers of any political party
organization, convention or association."
* *
What is evidently a blunder on the
part of some writer on the Pioner Press,
is the statement which appeared in
Saturday's issue, that Attorney General
Clapp had held that election
returns need not be made to the' county
auditors, as required by the White-man
election law and which was also
required by the old election
law. What the attorney gen
eral did hold was that the
returns of the election of township of
ficers to the county auditor was unnec
essary and a needless expense, and that
such was not the intention of the legis
lature.
IiOCAIj AMUSEMENT CHAT.
"There arc certain superstitions con
nected with theatrical people," said
Percy Weadon last night, while puffing
away on a Perfeeto, "that are amusing.
One quite common is the 'Jonah' super
stition, described as a fatal curse which
falls on some poor actor who makes
company or play unsuccessful,
j and who is unsuccessful himself.
I The 'Jonah' superstition is not confined
to individuals, but extends to plays. 'Di
plomacy was called a '.Jonah' on ac
count of its fatality to members of the
company first playing it. Theaters are
also Jonahs."
"How about the Hennepin Avenue
theater?'?
"Nix," said Weadon. "hold on. It
must be a Jonah. There was a fight the
first week, a fire on the stage and a boy
fell on the carpet and broke his arm. It
is now in chancery, and therefore it
must come under the category."
* *
Of the many audiences that have as
i sembled at the People's theater it is
I doubtful if any has been more satisfied
than the large one that left that popular
place of amusement last evening after
witnessing the splendid presentation of
Augustan Daly's celebrated and inter
esting drama, "Under the Gaslight."
This was the first presentation
of this famous drama in
this city in many years, and
Much enthusiasm was manifested last
night by the large crowd through all the
exciting scenes and incidents, and many
turned away with a sigh of regret as the
curtain fell on the last act. It was cer
tainly as strong and thoroughly finished
a performance as is often seen at popu
lar prices. Aside from the considera
tion that it was an elaborate revival of
a standard play, the event was made
specially interesting by the first appear
ance in this city of two new mem
bers of People's Company, J. B.
Brown and Charles ]{. * Thorpe,
who were given a flattering reception.
Mr. Brown appeared as iSnorkey, the
one-armed veteran, and acted the part
admirably, fully sustaining his Eastern
reputation as a well-trained and fin
ished artist. Mr. Thorpe, as Tratford,
gave the part the dash, vivacity and
recklessness that did him much credit
and showed him to be an actor much
above the average. Neil Scully,
as the peanut vender made new
friends, and succeeded in keeping the
audience in the best of humor. The
Laura Courtland of Miss Wellesley was
effective and strong, and Carrie Strong
as Old Judas neared perfection in this
line. The pier scene was the most in
teresting and realistic ever seen in this
city. Not oniy was the scene itself good,
but a number of clever specialties were
introduced, including a number of jigs
and clog dances by Joe dotty and some
splendid musical selections by the
"original and only" Sam Lucas and
wife. The scenery and stage settings
at this theater certainly deserve more
than a passing mention, as week after
week they are placed upon the stage
with a correctness and precision equaled
by no theater in the Twin Cities.
"Under the Gaslight" runs throughout
the week, with matinees Tuesday and
Saturday.

James Ilarrison, the portly stage man
ager of the People's, seems to be every
where. First he was seen on the stage
last evening playing a part of considera
ble importance to the best of satisfaction ;
next he would be found in the front of
the house; all of a sudden at a given
cue he would "bob up serenely" in some
exciting scene of climax.

CURRENT COMMENT.
It is understood that Mayor Ames will
veto the resolution passed by the city
council vacating a territorial road
through Phillips' addition in East
Minneapolis, and has indicated that he
does not think a territorial road can be
vacated except by an act of congress.
* *
Territorial roads are government
land, and a man In the Seventh ward
has acquired a neat piece of real estate
by locating a row or tenements upon a
territorial road, and has acquired the
right to the ground by reason of occu
pancy for live years under the home
stead law. Very likely the same sharp
game has been practiced in other por
tions of the City. '

The evident untiuthf'ulncss of the
Tribune's circulation boasts was made
peculiarly striking yesterday by the
announcement: "There were 11,000
Tribunes sold in Minneapolis to-day."
As this assertion must have, of neces
sity, been written before the publica
tion of the paper, it is conjectured that
the Tribune has employed a clairvoyant
as a circulation liar. 1: I
* ■*
The great block to be erected on tho .
Washburn corner, as mentioned in yes
terday's GLOBE, is to occupy the entire
piece— at least that is the present
calculations. The board of trade lias
asked the government to buy a strip" of
this piece to give more room toiho
growing needs of the postofflce, and it ,
was understood that Gen. Wash- '
burn would sell as much as
was desired. It now transpires
that when the board considered the
matter, the property had already been
sold to the loan company. Tho latter
does not believe the government will
buy more land just now, especially 1 as
the St. Paul appropriation was cut
down. There is now considerable un
used space on the government property
—fifty feet on Third street and about
thirty on First avenue south, but this
was reserved with the view to securing
plenty of light and good driveways.

The Fourth judicial district embraces
Hie counties of Hennepin, Wright,
Anoka and Isanti, and has four judges.
The Second district has only the county
of Ramsey, but has four judges.
Though Ramsey is smaller than Henne
pin, yet it has as many judges as the
four counties of the Fourth district.
The reason for this is found in the fact
that Republicans of the Fourth district
have kept Anoka, Wright' and
Isanti counties in the dis
trict to keep it Republican.
At the last session of the legislature an
effort was made to cut off the three out
side counties, but it was vigorously
fought in the interests of one or two of
the present occupants of tho bench.
The district is too large entirely, and
there is more business than the four
judges can properly and promptly at
tend to. The number should be in
creased or the district reduced, though
the latter is not possible, as the result
would surely be a Democratic district.

The Grand Jury Will Probably Not

and will probably dispose of such cases
as will be brought to its attention by
commitments from the municipal with

any of those searching investigations
that arc periodically aimed at saloon
keepers and the social evil. Indications
are that this farce is to bo omitted. It
is not thought that the over vigilant
county attorney has been making an
other crusade, and the offenders against

lowed to recuperate their finances so
they can stand a "hard one" next term.

FRANK IS FERTILE
Anil Selects a Concert to Please
the Million.
The most fastidious critic with a
grudge against German [music must
have smiled when he saw the pro
gramme at the Danz concert yesterday
afternoon in Harmonia hall. There
were eight selections given and each
represented the work of a composer of
a different nation. In this garland of
music were represented the flowers
culled from the poesy of English, Aus
trian, Italian, Norwegian, American
and German music, and the result was
a remarkable symposium of melody and
song, which was applauded to the echo
by the lurge and fashionable audience
present. It was the ninth concert of '
the series, and as far as attendance and
beauty of the music presented, was cer
tainly on a par with all of its successful
predecessors. The audience was slow
at the opening in giving applause, but
at the conclusion of the fourth num
ber, in which A. D. Laird gave
the "Coney Island Polka" as a cornet
solo the enthusiasm was unbounded.
"The Reverie" (for string orchestra), by
Dunkler, was also an unbounded favor
ite, and an encore was demanded and
given. Among other gems given were
the "Cujus Animam." Rossini, overture,
"Maritana," Wallace, introducing the
ever tuneful melody, "Oh, Friends That
Are Dearest." The concert closed with
a request piece, Strauss' waltz, "The
Village Swallows." The effect of this
charming piece was magical, and liter
ally brought down the house.
TO HONOR ST. PATRICK
By a Fitting: Celebration of His
Natal Day, March 17.
The Irishmen of Minneapolis are pre
paring for such an observance of St.
Patrick's day as will forever dissipate
the idea that the celebration of March
17 is falling into innocuous desuetude.
Yesterday afternoon delegates from
every local division of the A. O. 11. met
at Windom hall and were cailed to order
by John P. Fitzgerald, county delegate.
Enthusiastic little talks were made by
prominent Irishmen, and it was unani
mously decided to fittingly celebrate
the natal clay of Ireland's patron saint.
Every Irish organization in Minneap
olis is expected to participate in the
morning parade and an invitation was
ordered extended to St. Paul, Still water,
Anoka and Hastings, asking the socie
ties there to join in a rousing demon
stration at Minneapolis. James R.
Corrigan was elected marshal, with
authority to appoint his own assistants.
It was decided to conclude the clay with
a banquet at the West, to which prom
inent Celts of the state will be invited.
The feast will follow the parade and
probably continue from 3to U:oO p. in.

Kohl & Middletonwill to-day probably
undertake to throw open both the Min
neapolis and St. Paul museums to the
public. This action will have the
effect, it is apprehended, of
bringing matters to a head, and
will have the effect of compelling
the Smith-Wiggins combination to show
its hand. Kohl & Middleton are ex
tremely anxious that the question of
proprietorship and the validity of the
leases should be settled at once.

HE DIED HAPPY.
Poor Maloney's Charity on the
Verge of the Grave.
Congressman O'Neill says, in the St.
Louis lobe-Democrat, there was a well
to-do Irishman up on O'Fallon street,
near Biudle market, in St. Louis, who
found himself about to pass away. His
name was Maloney. lie sent for his old
friend O'Connor to come and make his
will. Everything was in readiness, and
the dying man said:
"Put down §300 for masses up at St.
Laurence O'Toole's for the repose of
my soul."' . ' , " • ■
The pen scratched away, and then
Mr. O'Connor said:
"What next, Mr. Maloney?"
'Tut down $500 for the Little Sisters
of the Pour. Have ye that down, Mr.
O'Connor?"
"I have, Mr. Maloney. What nixt?"
"Put down $250 for St. Louis Orphan
asylum."
"What nixt. Mr. Maloney?"
'•Put down §1,000 for me brother Pat.
He don't nade it, but it's all the same.
I can't carry it wid me."
'•What nixt, Mr. Maloney?"
So the work went on slowly and sol
emnly, the dying man bringing himself
up with an effort to the task, and Mr.
O'Connor stopping now and then to
draw his finger across his hose and sniff
sympathetically. Finally the dying
man said faintly:
"I think that's all I have to will."
O'Connor footed up the items, looked
at the balance in the little old bank
book, and said :
"No, Mr. Maloney, there's tin dollars
yit."
The dying man lay absorbed in
thought for a few moments and then he
satd :
"O'Connor, put down that tin dollars
to spind with the byes at me funeral."
O'Connor began to write; then he
stopped, looked toward the bed with a
puzzled expression, and asked softly:
"Mr. Maloney, shall I put it down to
spind going to the funeral or coming
back?"
The dying man lay very quiet for a
few moments as he studied the problem,
and then, with an effort, replied:
r "O'Connor, put down tin dollars to
spend goin' to the funeral, for then I'll
be wid ye."

Washington Critic.
. A little Chicago boy was paying a
visit of several weeks to an aunt in
Philadelphia. One day, after he had
been there long enough to get aquaint
ed, he was standing at the window
looking out on the street in a reflective
mood, and his aunt came in.
"Auntie, isn't Philadelphia a very
good city?" he asked. ./ ; r
"Yes, Tommy, I believe its reputa
tion for piety is superior to that of any
city in the land."
-"1 thought so," said Tommy, in all
seriousness, "for it's Sunday everyday

SLEEPING IN A COFFIN..
Peaceful Dreams and Quiet Rest
Secured in a Casket. ;
A man who will choose a coffin for a
Couch may justly lay claim to the badge
of eccentricity, says the Philadelphia
Record. Frankford possesses such a
man. and his coffin is kept in the loft
over the undertaking establishment of
E. H. Allen, on one of the principal
streets of that suburb. The coffin is of
extra large size, and is only one of many
similar furnishings which are stored in
the undertaker's loft. The man who
nightly sleeps in this strange bed is
familiarly known to the people of the
vicinity as Bob. Ho is a beneficiary
upon the undertaker's charity, and has
for years done odd jobs around the
place for his board. He has occupied
this coffin ever since he came to Mr.
Allen's, except when his asthma com
pelled him to sit up all night. Bob is a
quaint little man of about fifty-three
years, with piercing black eyes and
curling black hair, now fast turning
gray. Pie comes of one of Frankford's
first families. His father was once the
leading Democratic politician of the
town and an extensive builder. He
built all the original buildings at
Frankford's arsenal more than half a
century ago. He gave all his children,
Robert included, a liberal education and
brought them up in luxuiy. The un
dertaker's shop is what was once the
stable— now — of Robert's
father, and part of the very loft in
which he now makes his bed was in his
boyhood his pigeon-house. A romance
of love twines around the life of this
odd little man, with his stooped shoul
ders and peculiar ways. His lady love
died many years ago, and poor Bob
often yet repeats, half audibly, some of
the sonnets of which she was so fond.
It is thought that Bob never fully re
covered from the blow caused by her
death, and the workshop of the under
taker has numerous acrostics and poems
of Bob's composition stuck up around
its walls. The man is a mathematician
of some pretensions and a fine penman.
Mr. Allen has known Bob from boyhood
and indulges his whims.
A visitor to Mr. Allen's shop one night
found that gentleman seated in his
office. "Come with me," said he, tak
ing up a lantern and leading the way
up stairs, "and 1 will show you Bob; he
is in his bed now." Following Mr. Al
len up the steps leading to the loft the
light exposed to the visitor long rows
of coffins ranged around the room. One
of extra large size lay upon the floor,
and from within it came deep, labored
wheezing. The lid was well drawn up,
and nothing inside could be seen.
"Hello, Bob, are you in!" said the un
dertaker, and the lid began to slide
slowly downward with a creaking
sound. A head looked up and then a
man sat upright. It was Bob, He
answered "Yes; what do you want?"
and then, seeing the visitor, sank back
again and drew the lid over him. "Bob's
got it a little bad to-night," said Mr. Al
len, alluding to his asthma, and he
pulled down the trap leading to the loft
and left Bob to enjoy his sleep until
morning."
