At the rirst Congregational church ycstor-
dny , the pastor , Itcv. G. U * . Croft' ' , RHVO a
sermon to nnd about ' Young men , " cliooslnij
as hi ? text : "Lot no inim ilospUo thy
but bo tliou nn cxiiuijilo of tlio believers , In '
word , In couvcMiitlon , in charity , In spirit , in
faith , In purity , " thcso words being these
uucil to Tlmotby , himself a young man.
In those days when no was so much re
spected , Timothy' * use \vns to hli Ulsadvuu-
tngo as a public teacher , and It was very
ncccssni'y that lie ulioulil so deport himself as
to overcome prejudice and command respect.
In tlili day ago Li not aufllclcnlty respected.
It Is such an u e of boasted progress that ono
Is apt to think the aged have not kept pace
with the onward m.irch ot events. Anif 'K
the ancient Jews a limn of thirty was still u
boy. Now n man Is said to pass the dead line
at forty or fifty. It Is not , however , a fact.
Xo inun passe i the ilcad line so loup as ho ro-
talns his powers , no matter how old his years.
The greatest luminaries In church itiul state
today are aged men.
Still youth Is not to bo despised. The
young man's character should bo so forcible
as to obscure all otliur considerations. Character -
actor has no limitations. Ho should even bean
an example for other * to follow. Many think
It Is enough to live above reproach. That Is
good , but the other Is better. It Is one thing
to bo u rock on which the vessel may wreck ;
another tiling to be a lighthouse to guldo tlio
vessel to safety. It Is ono thing not to do
barm ; a far dUlorent thing to do good. Tim
othy was exhorted to bo an example , not only
to the world , but even to believers.
Among tun characteristics ho was urged to
display were to bo an cxainplo In word in
speech anil conversation , In deportment , in
manner of life. A llfo that dally illustrates
the principles of the gospel Is better than any
sermon better than the bible Itself , that is
the bible In print. Hotter giro the bible to
the world In the living example than In the
printed page. In the ono case the bible Is
silent. It Is Hko a well thut must bo drawn
from. In the other it speaks. It is llko a
fountain pouring forth refreshing streams.
In ono ca c mnn learns what ought to bo
done , in the other what can bo dono.
Ho was to bo un example in charity. Truth
is not always agreeable to men If It points out
their evils. It must bo spoken In love to bo
accepted. Sugar coat the bitter pill. The
deeds of love live. How they llvo ! Mary
with her box of ointment 1 The goop Samar
itan 1 bovo Is life. In the old fablo'tho wind ,
at Its llorccst , could not tear the cloak away
from the traveler. The sun quickly Induced
him to 'ay ' II aside. So tbo Kim of Klght-
cousaoss with Its warmth of love leads men
to throw off the cloak of sin and sclllshncss.
As Dr. Hamilton says "Tho religion that
fancies it loves Hod when It never evinces
love to Its brothers is not piety , but a poor ,
mildewed theology. "
Timothy was to bo an example in spirit.
Ho was to hnvo the mind that was in Christ.
Ho was to bo an example in faith. With
out fuitu it is Impossible to please God.
Lastly ho was to bo the example of ploty.
The purer ono Is the brighter will shine forth
the helpful light of his life.
Such sire the wanted
younumcn every
where today. The Young Men's Christian
association ulono numbers ' . ' 00,000. It is not
. a standing army but an active ono , over mov
ing against the foi's of man. God put it into
the heart of Gcorgo Williams. In 1844 ,
to bring totrcthcr a few young men
connected with thn business where ho was
engaged , for tin hour of prayer. And from
that smnll beginning Uod ordained that this
grand institution should grow until every
Christian land in tuo world would share Its
blessing.
- Si with the Young1 People's Society of
Christian Endeavor. Uod Is in the move
ment. Ilo lias raised up these hands of
young men and women to do a mighty work
for Him. In then ) lira thousands of grand
characters formed after the pattern Paul
gave to Timothy , after the likeness of
Christ.

Fuel Gas at Four Cents.
"Thero is no occasion for anybody to lose
any sleep by worrying over the probable
failure of the now gas company to meet all
the conditions of its charter and mnko good
the promises Its representatives have made
to the people of Council Bluffs , " said a noted
gat expert of Omaha yesterday. "I have
had the pleasure of making some investiga
tion of their discoveries and their methods of
mailing water gas , and I am satisfied that
they have como pretty near finding the ideal
solution of the caloric problem. I know of
no way of generating heat more cheaply than
these men are nblo to do It unless It bo the
vague possibility of realizing the electrician's
dream and establish molecular motion In Iron
plates by the application of a current of
, electricity. If this could bo done it might bo
the means of affording a cheaper method of
; heating our homes and generating power in
our furnaces than by the use of water gas , but
: I doubt it. It bos been thy dream of gasmak-
ors for ages to discover some rapid and
ccoaomio means 'of ' disintegrating water and
separating the two gases of which It is com
y posed. The water is the vast natural reser
voir of all the hydrogen gas In the universe.
IP ] Two-tblrds of its bulk Is pure hydrogen
IPo with the exception of the small
amount of mineral held in solution.
Tlicro has never been and there never will bo
n single cubic Inch of hydrogen gas obtained
from any other source than from water. It
is the small amount of water In the coal that
produces the gas when the coal is shoveled
st in the retort li ? the gas works , and the la
stW tense heat Is what disintegrates it and
ro seporatcs it. The oxygen remains behind ,
or escapes or Is destroyed mid the hydrogen
to rises from the retort and is carried 'into the
fa gas holder. If you can scperato the two
nt gases by the combustion of less fuel
n you cheapen the cost of the gas just
nUi that much. If you can make a ton of coal
id liberate 100,000 feet of gas from water instead
of ubout tun thousand , which is about the
' best result to bo obtained by the old methods ,
, you have decreased the cost of the gas just
ten times. That's what the new gas men
propose to do for you , and it is what they
have showo they can do oven under disad
& vantages. They can mnko a good quahtyof
fuel gas. that will bo about equal to the vapor
of gusolluo , and furnish It to the nrlvato con
If sumer through nn extensive and expensive
ar sjstein of mains and supply pipes , at .5 cents
byte nor 1,000 cublo feet and make money. From
the Investigations I have made I am satlsilcd
that they can maku the gas by their process
to and deliver It In the mains for less thnn.4
set cents per thousand feet. This will leave
'B- them n not protit of 21 cents per thousand ,
which will nmko a very fair percentage on
their Investment , especially when there Is u
probability that there , will bo consumed several -
oral millions of feet each year. So you BOO
the citizens of Council illuffs need feel no
uneasiness about the new company buluc
nblo to 1111 its part of tbo big contract it has
entered into with tlio city. "
The propositions of the new company con
tinue to attract greater interest the moro
lei they are considered , and the people realize
what is mount by these promises. It Is stated
the company will fllo Its acceptance of the
charter granted by tUo council this week ,
nnd by next week tlio work of erecting the
now plant will bo commenced.
One section of the charter calls for the par
tial completion of the new works , to nn ex-
tcjitsufllcicnt to enable the company to fur
nish as from Its own mains ton limited num
ber of prlvnto consumers , by January 1.
There Is a savin ? clause In this section ,
however , which may lei tliem out
without n forfeiture of their
chnrtcr [ f they full toRotto making gas
within two months. The elmiso reads : " 1'ro-
vldcd , that full allowance .shall bo made for
oil delays thnt umy occur In construction of
vorks by order or Injunction from any court ,
mllclous Interference , unavoidable nrcl-
i-nts , delays , strikes or stress of weather. "
njunctlons tire easily obtained , necldcnts
vill happen In the best regulated latulllcs ,
trlkcs can bo provoked , nnd there Is ( mini-
cut probability of several "stresses of
rcatbor" between tbo present tlmo nnd Jan-
ai.v 1.
However , the company Will receive every
osslblo ciirourageinont , and there will bo no
rent disappointment If a few people are do-
jled the pleasure of burning > cunt gas this

The "Mnlasn Grape" Crop.
"Tho grapes that are sold In Now York nnd
other markets ns Malaga grapes , " said a fruit
dealer to a reporter for the Now York Sun ,
"aro really not Malaga grapes at all , but uro a
grape that grows in the ahrost inaccessible
mountain regions of Spain , in the district of
Almcrla. The true Malaga grapa Is so tender
and delicate a fruit that It will not stand ship
ment well , and even when it arrives here in
good condition it In so perishable that unless
quick sales are made the Importer will have
his labor for his pains. Nearly all of the
Malaga grape crop is made into raisins , The
white and pInkish-whUo grapes sold bore as
Malagas are a hardy fruit. The region In
which they are grown Is wild and primitive ,
and tbo grapes are all transported from tlio
vineyards to Almcriaon donkeys , a distance
of Jitty miles , there being no roads to the bills.
"Tho country between Almerla and the
vineyards is Infested by wild hcuUs nnd out
laws , and tourists have not yet ventured to
, include thut part of Spain in their wander *
I ings. As the average grape crop of the dls-
trlct is 400,000 barrels of forty pounds each ,
| the task of carrying It all that distance on
donkeys may bo imagined. The vineyards
nro all small holdings , nnd yield about llvo
r tons to tlio aero. The usual prlco for the
grapes on tno wharf at Almcrla Is 9 cents.
The packing in barrels is all done at the
vineyards , tlio flno corkdust in which the
fruit Is packed being backed In on tiio don
keys tlio sumo as the grapes nro brought out. .
I The harvesting of this unique grain crop is
I done during August. The vessels in which
| the grapes nro shipped from A Imeria cannot
como Into the wharfs , hut lie at anchor some
distance out. The grapes are taken to the
vessels in rowboata of antique pattern and
small capacity. The grapes begin to reach
New York about October 1 ,

wand might show them to bo. They are
gods and goddesses feasting , and in hap
pier moments wo feign ourselves possi
ble Ixlonti to bo admitted to the celestial
banquet. In the streets of the Summer
city their palaces lire closed , their bril
liant equipages arij gone : they do not
sputklo and murmer in their opera
boxes , nor roll stately in slow lines along
the trimmed avenues of the park. But
btill the celestial lifo proceeds , n little
out of sight , its lovely leisure brimmed
with deeds becoming these who have
no cure but to do good and to transfigure
their own good fortune into a blessing
for thp world. "Wo " read the gross details -
tails of dress and dinner. But they re
mind ts only moro keenly of the nmnlo
resource , the boundless opportunity
which our favorites of fortune enjoy.

Supposed to 1)3 a Mimlercr.
Twenty young men of Williams and
vicinity went to the mountains recently
for a few weeks' recreation , says tno Or-
lundColusacounty ( , WashingtonNews. )
They pitched their camp on the east
side of Snow mountain , wlioro Paradise
crook plunges down the preon-walleil
mountain side , while they lured the shy
trout , innocent deer nud fierce bear from
their haunts in the unbroken mountain
fastness. The boys enjoyed the allure
ments of the wilderness and the wild
game furnished their table with an
abundance of the most delicate viands.
During the evening , when till were
about the camp lire , they at various
times paused in the telling of mirthful
talcs , thinking they had hoard nu in
truding footstep near the camp. At
last , however , in the middle of the
night , when all wus still about the place
and wrapped in slumber , ouo of the
young mon was awakened by nn
umibual noise , and upon opening his
eyes his vision rested for a ininuto
on the fnco o ! a strange man , whoso
board and hair were unkempt , Imtloss
nnd in tattered clothing. As soon ns the
btrango being found thut ho was
observed , ho disappeared into the fast
ness of the jungle.
There was no moro sloop for the young
man , although ho remained in his bed.
In about two hours the strange figure
returned , his long hair floating in the
midnight breeze , his chin almost resting
upon his sunken chest , his bony fingers
bent Hko a cat's paw when about to
spring , nnd from his eyes shown an
unnatural light. Breathless did the
'young mnn , who hud the day before
bravely faced an enraged boar , watch the
approaching figure , whoso countenance
looked ghost-like in the light of the
moon. j < i
The strange mtm approached the im-
provided table of the camp , whore moat
and bread from the. last meal remained ,
and nto ravenously , moro llko a wild
beast thnn a huinaii being. Presently
the young mnn saluted him with a friend
ly greeting. Had an oloctrio shock
passed through hlB-systom ho could not
have acted morq nui < Mj'In an instant
the wild man.for such he really appeared ,
sprang up the almost impassable
mountain side as Hoot ns a
door. Excited/ and linrdly knowing
what ho did , the young donl/un of the
plains , who had conquered many n fair
heart and brokbfi scores of fractious
mules , sent A riiloliall in tlio direction
of the departing nlim. Hardly had the
smoke of the gu'n ' , ' cleared away when
great bowlders came rolling down the
precipitous side of the mountain , evi
dently loosened by the wild being which
had passed up.
The boys from that on lost their ap
petite for juicy venison nnd delicate
trout. They only remained a day or to
nftor , but during that time the strange
figure was often seen skulking near the
camp like a wild nnlnml , but invariably
upon being discovered ho would swiftly
disappear into the almost impenetrable
jungle.
The description of this "wild man of
the hills" tnllios exactly with that of
Sim Welling , who murdered Satford
near Willows throe years ago. It is
presumed thnt It is the murderer who
escaped and went into thu mountains ,
and thut his crime ever eating ut his
mind , together with the loneliness nnd
hardships of such a life , drove hfm in-

CHINA T1II3 CO.HINO NATION.
front AVolioley Thinks that tlio MOM-
Ko'.l inn Will Overrun the World.
Lord Wolsoloy fully shares In General
Gordon's bollof in the latent possibilities
of the Chinese. "The Chinese , " ho snyn ,
"nro the coming nation. Tlio Chinese
will , I think , overrun the world , siiya
Wflllnm Stead In the Koviow of liio
RovlewH. The batllo of Armageddon
will take place between the Chinee nnd
KngHsh-f > peiihlng wees. There will bo ,
I assilmc , another war between Franco
nnd Gennnuy , and and it will bo about
the bloodiest war , or sorlcs of wars ,
which wo hnvo soon in Europe. But ,
some day , n great general , or Inw-glvor ,
will arise In China , nnd the Chinese ,
who have been motionless for throe
centuries , will begin to progress. They
will take to the profession of
ni'iiiH , and then they will hurl
themselves upon the Russian
empire. Before the Chinese armies ns
they possess every military virtue , nro
stolidly indifferent to death and capable
of inexhaustible endurance the Uus-
alnns will go down. Then the Ohlnoso
armies will march westward , They will
overrun India , swooping us Into the ton.
Asia will belong to them , ami Ihon , at
last , English , Americans. Australians ,
will have to rally for a last desperate
conflict.
"So certain do I regard this that I
think ono ilxed point of our policy
should bo to strain every nerve and
make every sucritlco to keep on good
terms with China. China is the coming
power. Thodo people intelligent , ac
tive , Ingenious ; so industrious that at 12
o'clock nt night you can hear the hummer -
mor of the smith at the forgo have , for
the last 800 years , boon ruled by the
simple met Uod of having all the moro
tictlvo , capable and progressive bonds
shorn oil' by their Tartar rulers : that
is a simple , literal fact. The gov- ,
eminent of China has boon carried on by
the method of cutting olT every head of
moro than average intelligence , activity
: uid energy. You have no idea of the
massacres thnt were carried on as part
of the regular government of the coun
try. When Commissioner Loh was asked
whether it was true that ho had , in three
years , beheaded 00,000 men , ho replied :
"Oh , surely ninny more than thntl'5 ' So
long ns this system pro wills. Chino. > o
progress is impossible. But these undo
Tartars will not always bo able to con
trol the nation. Another Moses might
change it , or a Mohammed , or a Nape
leon. The whole system very nearly
wont under thirty years ago , when Gor
don saved the empire.
"From the point of view of humanity ,
Gordon did right , but the ease \\as by no
means so clear as some people imagine.
The TaopiugB very nearly overthrow the
Tartar dynasty. Their chief not only
declared that ho was a Christian , but al
ways btyles himself in his proclamation
ns the uterine brother of Jesus Christ ,
and was a progressive ruler , lie abolished
ished opitmi smoking , and showed him
self in many respects in advance of the
government. But there were no con
structive capacities in the Taipmgc.
They destroyed every place over which
they passed'liko u crowd of locusts. I
was sent to Nankin , and from there to
Hankow , UOO miles up the Yang-tso-
Khing , to obtain information concerning
the rebellion , so that tlio British govern
ment might bo hotter able to decide
which side to support. "

STEADFAST TO .XUIOIU FAITH.
\ Cousin of the Duke of Norfolk Re
duced to AVuiit.
About throe months ago a young
couple arrived hero from London , Eng
land , and engaged board in a modest
locality , says a Montreal correspondent
to the Chicago Tribune. The gentle
man's nnino was Fitzmnurico and the
lady was n second cousin of the duke of
Norfolk , the head of "one of tlio oldest
and wealthiest ducal families in Great
Britain and the foremost Roman Catho
lic layman in. the kingdom. Her face
was patrician , her nose nquilino , her
carriage stately and her manners were
rollned. She had a magnificent wardrobe -
robe nnd costly jewelry. She told the
Tribune correspondent that , the duke of
Norfolk being a Roman Catholic and
her mother a Protestant , the latter was
offered by the duke 10,000 a year for
herself and sisters if she would bring
thorn up in the Catholic faith.
Her mother refused , and the duke
dlso\vncd them , cutting thorn
off without a penny. Her fellow-board
ers believed her story when she showed
several letters which the duke had writ
ten to her mother.
The .husband . was a handsome young
follow who thought work nil right for
"clodhoppers , " but too degrading for a
gentleman. Ho had a little money and
with this ho made friends among the
"bloods" of the city. Ho had a particu
lar weakness for the "milingtary , ' ' nnd
was soon hand and plovo with several
volunteer olllcors. Ho gave wine sup
pers at the Windsor , played poker , nnd
was dubbed n "jolly good fellow. " But
his money gave out , Jio began toborrow
from his friends- und then wanted to
pawn his wife's jowols. The latter pro
tested against his reckless dissipation ,
and there were distressing scones be
tween thorn nt the boarding liouso.
Fitzmau rice's friends deserted him
and then ho borrowed heavily
from the boarders. Ho consented to
become a "drummer , " wont to Quo-
hoc , spent all his money in a spree , and
was brought homo In the delirious stage
of alcoholism. The landlady threatened
them with eviction for non-payment of
their board bill. Mrs. Fitzmauribo had
written to England for help , but none
camo.
A dramatic scone occurred a few days
ngo. A cab was brought to the door and
Fitv.maurlco carried down stairs and
placed In it. Then the landlady closed
tlio door , placed her back against It , nnd
confronted Mrs. Pitxinaurico. Tlio
cousin of the Duke of Norfolk nnd the
patrician Howards was in tears because
the landlady wanted the pound of ilosh.
"I wish I were dead ! " exclaimed the un
fortunate woman as she emptied her
purse into the woman's itching palm.
They took qunrtord in a low part of the
city , whore a child was born , and this
week the trio embarked for England.
