The most sensible remark at the Board of Meeting last night was when Dr. Shipman replied to a "kicker" against city improvements. He said, "there are people living in this city who came here twenty -five or thirty years ago and they hate to see a change, they want the city to appear now the same as it was when they came here. W. G. and L. C. Mercer received two telegrams today from Salem, 111., stating that their mother had died last night, at that place, from paralysis.

It is a ttrangc peculiarity of man, who, if he is made after God's image, is not of God's teachings. He is full of adulation, Mattery and fawning fiyeoplianj', which is practiced by, at ltat, one half the people of this universe. If a man has wealth, no matter how he acquired it, if it was by running a baw--dy-hoini;. saloon, or gambling hall, soci ety winks at thu past and admits him in to their circle. We have seen m.:u and wouu-n as gross and coarse in their man ners at table, or in public place, us pigs in a car going to market. Their speecli would be illiterate and their actious vul gar in the extreme. Innumerable dia mond rings would deck their bloated fiugevs. Tho men wear enormous, heavy watch cliivus and diamond studs as thick as they can place them down their shirt bosoms, while the women besides finger- rings, have omamcnt3 of precious stones in their hair, ears, and around their pudgy necks, while often they carry two gold watches inlaid with precious stones and attached to heavy gold chains, which they place conspicuously on what resemble a butcher's meat-block covered with parchment and powdered over. They remind one of a jewelers show-case arranged with very bad taste. But they have money, and that puts the brand ot gentility on their bar of soap. . come are born to .greatness, some achieve greatness, others have greatness thrust upon them." Intellect or merit very often fails to achieve greatness in thi3 world, while the dealer in animal phosphates has greatness thrust upon him There is always a lot of unmentorious trash running at the heels of such per sons, scekinjr some favor, if it is only a smile of recognition the " Uriah Heep " :s lost in a blazs of buss, but let mis fortune overtake his benefactor, and then ha don't know hiia from a crow. As he sinks lower in tho sea of adversity, he does his best from pure essence of in herited "cussedness," to push him fur ther down, and add3 insult to injury, by using every injurious phrase his shallow pate is capable of conceiving to injure his reputation among his fellow-man. Poveity is a sin, but salvation is cheap that's the poor man's birthright, which no "trust'' can control, although there are plenty of persons a3 m?au as the man who employed his brother t: work for him. They both attended their father's 1'iiucral and when they returned from the graveyard, the employer stopped his brother's pay for the time he had lost. Such persons would try and make God's promise of salvation an article of commerce and sell it so much per ounce. It is the same with health: ' If health were a thing that money could buy, the rich would live and the poor would die." Poveity has the consolation of know ing that after all their earthly cares are over, the proud, h mghty snob or syco phant is compelled to grant them Gx2J feet of real estate to rest their weary bones until tho trumpet calls them to place where there is no distinction made between peer or peasant. Evangelistic Meetings- About a hundred of the workmen in the shops enjoyed the sinking and ad dresses of the evangelists for 25 minutes aftsr dinner. In the afternoon some three hundred of the school children enjoyed a like privi lege. In the evening a large congregation joined in soul-stirring hymns led by Mr. Bilhorn. Rev. Mr. Clagttt.considered some of the excuses given for not accepting the invitation to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. One of these excuses was because tlu-te are hypocrites in the church. If horror of hypocrites is genuine, it will lead to choosing to enter the way to heaven for there are no hypocrites there. Another excuse is I have no time to attend to religion. The Sabbath was given to prepare for heaven. If you are fourteen years old you have had two years of Sabbaths. If you nic fiftyyears old you have had seven jears of Sali batli3. What have you done with all thi time? How long does it require to make up your mind that you will accept the gift of eternal life and belitve on Jesna Christ. You spend from three to ten years in learning a trade or profession that you may care for your body, yet cannot spare five minutes to prepare for h?aven. Many other common excuses were shown to be equally worthless. After the sermon some twenty rose for prayers. "Its an idle wind that don't blow somebody some good." In speaking with a viitcr to this city today he remarked that Ii2 had been greatly benefited by the strike, because on that account he had had about 400 cars of grain delayed at several points along ths B. & M. which he was enabled to deliver the other day, when prices had advanced so much, that he netted about $12,000 abovo what he would have done had his grain been promptly delivered. Don't fail to. visit Robbins' Art Studio and see the finest display ever in the city. " THE PEARL OF SAVOY," Meets with Approval and Approbation-It has never been th lot of our citi zens to witness as competent a combina tion of good actors and actresses, at the low prices charged for admission, as will adorn the stage of Waterman Opera House for the remainder of this week. Last night a full house appreciated the performance, the audience quickly re cognized the ability of the performers of whom they speak highly today. It would take too long an article to speak of each individual uctor and as all dispbtyed marked talent, they are equally deserving of prais, but for the sake of courtesy, we can not omit mention of the ladies who were cast in characters that require natural ability and years of stage experience for their proper rendi tion. Miss Mate Stevens as "Chonchon" played her part with a vim and vivacity that was truly charming, and we should judge from that lady's "chic" that she would make an excellent comcdy-sou-brette. Miss Maud Durantl who "doubled" Margaret" (th mother of Mark) and the "Marchioness, " is an actress of great emotional power and dignified deport ment. Miss Eunice Goodrich's ability has to be 6cen, when praise is cheerfully ac corded and her histronic powers admired The spelling of the words contained in a letter proved that she has a wvnderful conception of facial expression as shown in her looks of fear, distrust, ea .erness for sympathy, artless innocence, and un requited love. Her beautiful modulated tones of voice when expressing surprise or cheerful acquiescence to a request were great aids in gaining the good will of the audience. The mad scene was a fine, subtle piece of acting. " Wild flowers," which ends with the line "Bring I, these sweet, sweetest flowers," was very sweetly sang. When the line, "and you and you and you- and you," is sung, between every pause, the actress throws roses among the audienco. That part, was a happy thought, and was the cause of a great deal of pleasure among those who were fortunato to catch the flowers as they fell. Oue fine scene was where the daughter " Mrits " (Miss Goodrich), i3 about to leave home for Paris and the mother "Margaret " Miss Maud Durand), gives her daughter her blessing in the follow ing words: Let virtue and in.lus.iy gtiMu tlise, To lieaveu turn til n- ee ; Tlii l'rt of thy mother's ble sn. Vliii-li !! a.'.cecils on l.ili. Gcd is fver ji'sf ; To i;im f ' fare e tnuf, Virttns wiih tliee ever ilwi-ll. Farewell ! far will ! Tonight they play " D-ul's Boy." Go aud sec them. Joy will taka Mia place of regret, and broad minded ideas that of coufiued cupidity and egotism. "i'yo Kothing to Live for Now." "I'm lonely in the house since my wife died." These sad words were uttered on the street the other day by an old farmer while he was conversing with a stranger. From a conversation we elicited the fact that the old gentleman owned a farm near the city, where he had lived for a number of years, and where he had mar ried his beloved wife and raised his child ren. For a few years laughter and merry footsteps echoed through that dwelling. On Sundays the wagon would be got ready and they would all attend church to offer thanks to the Creator for His blessings during the past week. The partner of life joys and sorrows died. He and the children would still attend church and "he'd see his children sitting there, he hears his daughter's voice; he reeds must think of her no more, though in the grave he lies, and with his hard and horny palm wipes a tear from out his eyes." Two of the children died, but before their death, one of them, wh'Ie in good health, says "Papa, when you are old an I gray and 1 gro v to bo a man, if we should die and go to Heaven, will mamma know 3 then." The other two children got married, and the old man is left alone on the farm. He sa'd, "you don,t know how lonely I feel now, I ain't able to read a book, to work, or to do anything. I wander up and down the stairs and through the rooms and sometimes fancy I hear the footsteps of my clear children or the voice of my dear wife. I seem so certain, some times, that they are near me, that I stop and look around, but now they are all gone. Often, I will go through the trunks and bureau drawers, and every article I see will bring fond recollections of my departed wife and children. There is baby's shoes and dregs and Tommy's whips and toys, my wife's bible and her clothes hanging on the wall, just as they were the day when she died. Some of the flowers that strewed her coffin are laying withered in a vase on 'the table, everything I see makes me feel sad at heart. I will have to sell my farm and come and live in town, perhaps the ex citement will help me forget my troub les. Young man, it may scein 6trange to you, but you don't know wh.nt an old man suffers vrho has lost all he loved on earth, and tho old man wept, as he sobb ed, "rvenothing to hve for now.''
