Noiseless baseball, as distinguished
from the game played largely with the

seemB to many despondent lovers of
a sportsmanlike game. A graduate
publication, representing a well-known
college, declares that the adoption of a
noiseless game would do more good
to that institution than winning the
championship. The campaign motto
of a baseball nine ought to be. “Give
an opponent every opportunity to do
his best—and then beat him!” A row
dy may resort to barbaric yells as a
means of defeating an antagonist, but
a gentleman is bound to refrain from
debasing methods of gaining a tri
umph.

well. Nothing ought to disguise its
real significance. Only the patriotic
sense of duty will make men engage in
war when it shall have been stripped
of its romance, and when its deadly
purpose shall be written in every fea

no bills to pay, war would be a popu

ARRAIGNS THE PRESENT ERA
OF PROFIT SEEK I NO.
Contemns lbs Method, of Speculation
That Has a Temieucy to Make Man
kind Overlook tbe beat Purposes of
Oar Lives.
(Copyright, 1901, by Louis Klopsch, N. Y.)
Washington, June 9.—In this dis
course Dr. Talmage arraigns the spirit
of wild speculation and gives some ac
count of the financial ruin of other
days: Proverbs xxiii, 5, "Riches cer
tainly make themselves wings; they fly
away as an eagle toward heaven.”
Money is a golden breasted bird with
silver beak. It alights on the office
desk or on the parlor center table. Men
and women stand and admire It. They
do not notice that it has wings larger
than a raven’s, larger than a flamin
go’s, larger than an eagle’s. One wave
of the hand of misfortune and it
spreads its beautiful plumage and is
gone—"as an eagle toward heaven,”
my text says,though sometimes I think
it goes in the other direction.
Wall Street Condemned.
What a veiification we have had of
the flying capacity of riches in Wall
street! And Wall street is ope of the
longest streets In the world. It does
not begin at the foot of Trinity
church, New York, and end at the East
river, as many suppose. It reaches
through all our American cities and
across the sea. Encouraged by the
revival of trade and by the fact that
Wall street disasters of other years
were so far bac k as to be forgotten,
speculators run up the stocks from
point to point until innocent people on
the outside suppose that the stocks
would always continue to ascend. They
gather in from all parts of the coun
try. Large sums of money are taken
Into Wall street and small sums of
money. The crash comes, thank God,
in time to warn off a great many who
who were on their way thither, for the
sadness of the thing is that a great
many of the young men of our cities
who save a little money for the pur
pose of starting themselves in business
and who have $500 or $1,000 or $2,000
or $10,000 go into Wall street and
lose all. And if there ever w-as a time
for the pulpit to speak out in regard to
certain kinds of nefarious enterprises
now is the time.
Stocks rose and fell, and now they |
begin to rise again, and they will fall J
again until thousands of young men |
will be ruined unless the printing press
and the pulpit give emphatic utterance.
My counsel is to countrymen, so far
as they may hear of this discourse,
if they have surplus to invest it in first
mortgages and in moneyed institutions
which, though paying comparatively
small interest, are sound and safe be
yond dispute, and to stand clear of the
Wall street vortex, where so many
have been swamped and swallowed.
What a compliment it is to the healthy
condition of our country that these re
cent disasters have in no way depress
ed trade! I thank God that Wall
street's capacity to blast this country
has gone forever.
A Street with a History.
Across the island of New York in
1685 a wall made of stone and earth
and cannon mounted was built to keep
off the savages. Along by that wall a
street was laid out. and as the street
followed the line of the wall it was ap
propriately called Wall street. It is
narrow, it is unarchitecturaJ, and yet
its history is unique. Excepting Lom
bard street, London, it is the mightiest
street on this planet. There the gov
ernment of the United States was born.
There Washington held his levees.
There Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Caldwell
and Mrs. Knox and other brilliant wo
men of the Revolution displayed their
charms. There Witherspoon and Jona
than Edwards and George Whitefleld
sometimes preached. There Dr. Mason
chided Alexander Hamilton for writing
the constitution of the United States
without any God in it. There negroes
were sold in the slave mart. There
criminals were harnessed to wheelbar
rows and, like beasts of burden, com
pelled to draw or were lashed through
the street behind carts to which they
were fastened. Their fortunes have
come to coronation or burial since the
day when reckless speculators In pow
dered hair and silver shoe buckles
dodged Dugan, the governor general of
his majesty, clear down to yesterday
at 3 o'clock. The history of Wall street
is to a certain extent the financial,
commercial, agricultural, mining, lit
erary, artistic, moral and religious his
tory of this country. They are the best
men In this country and there are the
worst. Everything from unswerving
integrity to tip-top scoundrellsm—
everything from heaven born charity
to bloodless ShyloeRism. I want to put
the plow in at the curbstone of Trinity
and drive it clear through to Wall
street ferry. And so it shall go if the
horses are strong enough to draw the
plow. • • • d
•Tunttflable Speculation.
Again, I have to remark that Wall
6treet Is a type throughout the country
of legitimate speculation on the one
hand and of ruinous gambling on the
other. Almost every mi rchant is to
some extent a speculator. He depends
not only upon the difference between
the wholesale price at which he gets
the goods and the retail at which he
disposes of them, but also upon the
fluctuation of the markets. If the mar
kets greatly rise, he greatly gains. If
the markets greatly sink, he greatly
loses. It is as honest to deal in stocks
as to deal in iron or coal or hardware
or dry goods. He who condemns all
stock, dealings as though they were in
iquitous simply shows his own ignor
ance. Stop all legitimate speculation
in this country and you stop all banks,
you stop all factories, you stop all
storehouses, you stop all the great
I inancial prosperities of this country.
A stock dealer is on'y a commission
merchant under another name. He
gets his commission on one style of
goods. You, the grocer, get your com
mission on another style of goods. The
dollar that he makes is just as bright
and fair and honest a dollar as the dol
lar earned by the day laborer. But
here we must draw the line between
legitimate speculation and ruinous
gambling. You, a stock operator with
out any property behind you. financial
ly irresponsible, sell $100 of nothing
and get paid for it. You sell 100 shares
at $10,000 at 30 days. If at the end of
30 clays you can get the scrip for $9,000,
you have made a thousand. If at the
end of 30 days you have to pay $11,000,
then you have lost a thousand. Now
that is trafficking in fiction; that is
betting on chances; that involves the
spirit of gambling as much as anything
that ever goes on in the lowest gambl
ing hell.
Historical Gambling Pclicmc.
But France must have its gambling
expedition, and that was in 1716. John
Law's Mississippi scheme, it was call
ed. The French had heard that this
American continent was built out of
solid gold, and the project was
to take it across the ocean and
drop it in France. Excitement be
yond anything that had yet been j
seen in the world. Three hundred
thousand applicants for shares. Ex- !
citement so great that sometimes the
mounted military had to disperse the
crowds that had come to buy the stock.
Five hundred temporary tents built to
accommodate the people until they
could have opportunity of interviewing
John Law, A lady of great fashion
had her coachman upset her near the
place where John Law was passing in
order that she might have an interview
with that benevolent and sympathetic
gentleman. Stocks went up to 2,050
per cent, until one day suspicion got
into the market, and down it all went
—John Law's Mississippi scheme—
burying its projector and some of the
greatest financiers in all France, and
was almost as bad as a French revolu
tion.
Sedate England took its chance in
1720. That was the South Sea bubble.
They proposed to transfer all the gold
of Peru and Mexico and the islands of
the sea to England. Five millions'
worth of shares were put on the mar
ket at £300 a share. The books open,
in a few days it was all taken and
twice the amount subscribed.
Excitement followed excitement un
til all kinds of gambling projects came
forth under the wing of this South Sea
enterprise. There was a large com
pany formed with great capital for pro
viding funerals for all parts of the
land. Another company with large
capital—£5,000,000 of capital—to de- |
velop a wheel in perpetual motion. An- j
other company with a capital of £4,
000,000 to insure people against loss by j
servants. Another company with £2,- j
500,000 capital to transplant walnut ;
trees from Virginia to England. Then, \
to cap the climax, a company was !
formed for "a great undertaking, no
body to know what it is.” And. lo,
£600,000 in shares were offered at
£100 a share. Books were opened at
9 o’clock in the morning and closed at !
3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the first :
day it was all subscribed. ‘‘A great j
undertaking, nobody to know what
it is.”
Th* I.urgest Swindle*.
But it was left for our own country
to surpass all, about thirty-seven years
ago. We have the highest mountains
and the greatest cataracts and the j
longest rivers, and, of course, we had
to have the largest swindle. One |
would have thought that the nation
had seen enough in that direction dur
ing the morus multicaulis excitement,
when almost every man had a bunch of
crawling silkworms in his house, out |
of which he expected to make a for- I
tune. But all this excitement was as
nothing compared with what took
place in 1864 when a man near Titus
ville, Pa., digging for a well, strurk oil.
Twelve hundred oil companies call for
a billion of stock. Prominent mem
bers of churches, as soon as a certain
amount of stock was assigned them,
saw it was their privilege to become
presidents or secretaries or members
of the board of direction. Some of
these companies never had a foot of
ground, never expected to have. Their
entire equipment was a map of a re
gion where oil might be and two vials
of grease, crude and clarified. People
rushed down from all parts of the
country by the first train and put their
hard earnings in the gulf. A young
man came down from the oil regions of
Pennsylvania utterly demented, having
sold his farm at a fabulous price be
cause it was supposed there might be
oil there—coming to a hotel in Phila
delphia at the time I was living there,
throwing down a $5,000 check to pay
for his noonday meal and saying he
did not care anything about the
change! Then he stepped back to the
gas burner to light his cigar with a
$1,000 note. Utterly Insane.
Prayer for Snccet*.
O men of Wall street and of all
streets, stand back from the nefarious
enterprises, join that great company
of Christian men who are maintaining
their integrity, notwithstanding all the
pressure of temptation. In the morn
ing, when you open business in the
broker’s office or in the banking house,
ask God's blessing, and when you close
it pronounce a benediction upon it. A
kind of business that men cannot en
gage in without prayer is no business
for you. I wish that the words of
George Peabody, uttered in the hearing
of the people of his native town—Dan
vt rs. Mass.—I wish that those words
could be uttered in the hearing of all
young men throughout the land. He
I said: "Though Providence has grant
| ed me unvaried and universal success
I in the pursuit of fortune in other lands
j 1 am still in heart the humble boy who
Irrt yonder unpretending dwelling.
There is not a youth within the sound
of my voice whose early opportunities
and advantages are not very much
greater than were ray own, and I have
since achieved nothing that is impossi
ble to the most humble boy among
you.” George Peabody's success in
business was not more remarkable
than his integrity and his great heart
ed benevolence. 1 pray upon you God's
protecting and prospering blessing. I
hope you may all make fortunes for
time and fortunes tor eternity.
The Day of Accounting;.
Some day when you come out of your
place of business and you go to the
clearing house or the place of custom
or the bank or your own home—as you
come out of your place of business just
look up at the clock in the tower and
see by the movement of the hands how
your life is rapidly going away and be
reminded of the fact that before God's
throne of inexorable judgment you
must yet give account for what you
have done since the day you sold the
first yard of cloth or the first pound
of sugar. I pray for you all prosperity.
Stand close by Christ, and Christ will
stand close by you. The greater the
temptation the more magnificent the
reward. Hut. alas, for the stock gam
bler—what will he do in the judg
ment? That day will settle every
thing. That to the stock gambler will
be a “break” at the “first call.” No
smuggling into heaven. No “collater
als” on which to trade your way in.
Go in through Christ the Lord or you
will forever stay out. God forbid that
after you have done your last day's
work on earth and the hushed assem
bly stands around with bowed heads at
your obsequies—God forbid that the
most appropriate text for your funeral
oration should be, “As a partridge sit
teth on eggs and hatcheth them not, so
he that getteth riches, and not by right,
shall leave them in the midst of his
days, and at the end he shall be a
fool,” or that the most appropriate fu
neral psalm should he the w'ords of the
poet:
Price of many a crime untold—
Gold, gold, gold, gold.
IN THE FREE "KID CARDEN.”
Incident* That Show It Pays to Cara
for the VonnR.
The children who attend the free
kindergartens in New York city often
come in the morning cold and hungry,
their mothers not having time to give
them any breakfast before starting off
to work. Each newcomer is told to
ask for anything he wants, by which
is meant a drink of warm milk and a
piece of bread, if he is hungry. But
one baby boy thought any wish could
be gratified in the wonderful school,
so he confided to his teacher: “ I wis’
I had one kitty; Pus nussin’ to play
wis at my house but wats (rats). An
other small boy at the "kid garden,"
as the slum children call it. was os
tracized by his fellows. "What has
Tommy done? Why don’t you play
with him?” asked his teacher. The
small Pharisees drew themselves up
with dignity and one small girl, point
ing a finger of scorn at poor Tommy,
now dissolved in tears, said, "He
swored.” Thus it is that the chief of
police announced that "only one ar
rest was made in 11 years out of 9,000
children trained in the free kindergar
ten." "But before the days of kinder
garten," says a writer, apropos of Mrs.
Phoebe Heart's work in this field,
"these children, as soon as they could
the sidewalks. From the ages of 2 to
6 years they pursued the education
of the street. It used to be a common
thing to find blase villains of 6, who
would steal anything on which they
could get their hands." One day three
boys, who had served terms in the in
dustrial school for stealing, brought
their little sister, Lizzie, to the schools
by main force, and said: "Please take
her in; we don't want her to be like
us.” The child was dirty and had been
ashamed to come in, as all are taught
neatness and order in the schools.
THE ROOSTER IS MUTE NOW.
ftiut It Cvoes to All tlie Trouble That
Accompanies Crowing.
Now that warm weather la at hand
and windows are open in the early
morning, many complaints are being
received by the police about the crow
ing and cackling of chickens kept by
persons in the residence portion of the
city, says the Washington correspond
ent of the Baltimore Sun.The polica
regulations prohibit the keeping of
such fowls when they are an annoy
ance, and a fine on the owner may be
imposed. Inquiry at police headquar
ters to-day elicited the information
that such complaints should be sup
ported by the testimony of two wit
nesses from different houses to show
that the noise is a nuisance. In this
connection a story was told of a man
in the northwestern section who had a
rooster whose crowing qualities were
of the best and whose voice could be
heard all over the neighborhood. Fi
nally his neighbors could endure the
noise no longer and they hauled the
owner of the rooster into court. Here
he promised the bird should trouble
them no more, and on that promise
was released. The next morning the
neighbors saw the rooster in the yard
and held an indignation meeting.
Calling on the owner, they wanted to
know why he had not kept his prom
ise. He asked them if the bird was
annoying any one. It had not yet, but
they thought it might. He thereupon
pointed to the rooster, which was nap
ping its wings and going through all
the motions accompanying crowing,
but without a sound issuing from his
throat, and informed them that he had
taken it to a veterinarian, who had re
moved its vocal chords. It is said tho
antics of the dumb rooster while at
tempting to crow are most amusing.

2. And I saw the holy city, new Jeru

3. And l heard a great voice out of
heaven saying. Behold, the tabernacle of
God Is with men, and he will dwell with
them, and they shall be his people, and
God himself shall be with them, and be
their God.
4. And God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes: and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain; for
the former things are passed away.
5. And he that sat upon the throne
said, Behold, I made all things new. And
he said unto me. Write; fur these words
are true ami faithful.
6. And he said unto me. I am Alpha and

for tlie glory of God did lighten it. and
the Lamb is the light thereof.
24. And the nations of them which are
saved shall walk in 'he light of it; and
the kings of the earth do bring their
glory and honor Into It.
25. And the gates of It shall not be shut

27. And there shall In no wise enter Into
It any thing that defileth, neither what
soever worketh abomination or maketh a
lie; but only they which are written In
the Lamb's hook of life.
Christ the Light of the World —1. lie is
the light of hope for sinners. He is the
Sun of Righteousness, with healing in his
wings for them. 2. He is the light for all
dark lives. Christianity has let the sun
light into the black dungeon of the pris
oner. It has destroyed slavery. It has
founded innumerable hospitals for the
sick, and asylums for the poor. 3. He is
the light of knowledge. Science flourishes
alone in Christian lands. Public schools
are an outgrowth of Christianity. If It
were not for Christ, the world would still
be in the dark ages. 4. He is the light of
political freedom, for tree governments
exist only in Christian lands. ,7. He is
the torch of civilization, the herald of
commerce, binding the world together
with a brotherly exchange of products.
6. He is the light of missions, penetrating
all dark-continents, and bringing them
freely all the blessings of the most fav
ored countries.
24. "And the nations fof them which arc
saved, omitted from the K V.i shall
walk in the light of it." John did not
see merely one great city, hut a wide,
beautiful world, with the new Jerusalem
for its capital. "And the kings of the
earth do bring their glory ami honor into
It." We arc all "kings and priests unto
God”: this promise Is for us as well as
for those that wear a crown. For human
ity has a glory, it seems, in heaven as
well as on earth. No one, indeed, was
ever a righteous ruler of himself or of
others without gaining some glory to
contribute to heaven. What an incentive,
lo think that our true living can help to
illuminate the Celestial City!
25. “And the gates of it shall not he
shut at all by day." The gates of an
ancient city were shut to keep out what
was harmful, robbers and enemies in war,
but heaven has no such need. "Thieves
do nc,t break through and steal" there,
and war will lie ended. "For there shall
be no night there." Remember. John Is
speaking in the language of symbols. We
are not to understand that heaven will be
without the beauty of the night, the
splendor of stars, the soft curtain of
darkness, the loveliness of the moonlight,
or what will answer to these charms.
Hut there will be none of the terrors of
our nights, the fears of unseen dangers,
the increased sickness and death. And
in heaven, too, there win noi ne me worm
night of all. the night of the soul. "The
tombstone of a sweet girl, blind from her
hirth. bears this inscription. ‘There is no
night there.’ liibliean Museum.
2G. “And they shall bring the glory and
honor of the nations into it.' 1 here is,
then, an early glory that is recognized in
heaven, but it will be very different from
the glory commonly recognized on earth.
The glory of Napoleon could not enter
there, except so far as it sprung from
wise government ami a cultivation of the
arts. What a touchstone Is the thought
of heaven! Try upon it the gold of all
your ambitions, and see how many will
pass the celestial assay.
27. "And there shall in no wise enter
into It anything that deflleth, neither
whatsoever worketh abomination, or mak
eth a lie.” The lie seems to be the cli
max of defilement anil abominations, and,
Indeed, it is. I’ntil we are honest with
ourselves and others and God, we cannot
hope for a good conscience, a ft.m char
acter, or salvation.
The Temperance I-esson.—Of course,
since whatever defiles and works abomi
nation is shut out from heaven, no drunk
ard can enter there (I. Cor. G: 10). This
will not seem unreasonable even to a
drunkard; he knows nimseif, even on
Mirth, to be in a self-made hell, and
without a transformation of character
heaven Itself would have no attractions
for him.
For an Italian Halnd Dressing.
The difference between the Italian
and French salad dressing is one of
preparation only, except in the case
of a single ingredient, pepper, which
is tabooed by the Italian cook. To
make an Italian dressing sprinkle the
salad with salt, and add oil until hav
ing tossed the leaves about they seem
well coated. Enough vinegar is then
sprinkled through to give just a little
tang, a good proportion being a table
spoonful to six of oil. The salad bowl
Is rubbed with garlic before the dress
ing begins.—New York Evening Post.
