THE NORTHWESTERN, ■ENHCHOTICR * GIBSON, Ed* and P»bt LOUP CITY, • - NEB. Enteric fever is calculated to fyave killed ten Britishers in South Africa for each one who has fallen a victim to Boer bullets. The heaviest precious stone Is the zircon, which is four and one-half times heavier than an equal amount of water; the lightest is the opal, only twice as heavy as water. The 38th anniversary of the estab lishment of a territorial government for Arizona was marked by the dedi cation of the new capital at Phoenix. Governor Murphy presided. Pope Leo XIII. has Just reorganized his historic bodyguard. These gentle men always accompany the pope In his walks and attend him at all public functions. Leo XIII. has increased the corps from eighty to 310 in number, and has placed them at the head of the Vatican troops. The numerous islands of the Pata gonia archipelago are covered with evergreen forests capable of supplying immense quantities of valuable timber, while the mountain ranges, being of the same geological formation as those of Chill and Peru, are probably rich In mineral resources. A passenger train on the Minne apolis, St. Paul and Sanlt Ste. Marie Railroad was recently delayed an hour by heaps of Russian thistles which had been blown upon the track by heavy winds. The thistles were caught on the wire fences along the right of way, where they collected in bunches in much the same manner in which snow drifts into railroad cuts. The king of Italy has Just asqulrel the island of Monte Crlsto. the scene of Dumas’ thrilling romance, as a hunt ing ground. It is about six milei In extent, and abounds in fur and feather. There are to be found the wild boar, the wild goat, the moufflon, hare and pheasant. When he was Prince of Na ples the king used to often go hunting on the island, which then belonged to the Marquis de Ginori-Lesci, Colonel James G. Milner, once assist ant secretary of the confederate navy, when he died at Milford, O., on Tues day, had In his trunk a million dollars in confederate bonds and money. Had he sold these to collectors he would not have been so poor that his wife's buvial and his own need be at the charge of friends, as was the case. Colonel Milner’s wife, 80 years old, /lied three weeks before him; a neigh bor then took him to her home, where the desolate man died at the age of 82. The board of health of the city of Galveston Is arranging for a large sup ply of oil from the Beaumont wells to be used in fighting mosquitos. The oil will be distributed in all the stagnant pools in the city, sprinkled on the sur face of water in the gutters, and dis tributed free to owners? of open cis terns for use In destroying mosquitos and the fever-breeding germs which collect in the ponds. Experiment* made by the board of health have dem onstrated the virtue of crude oil as a sanitary measure if properly used and petroleum water as healthful and nourishing for drinking purposes. Agents of the German government are scouring Arizona for horses for use in the army. Several days ago they closed a deal with ranchers In the northern and central part3 of the ter ritory for several hundred head, and will buy as many more. The Arizona range horse is peculiarly adapted to hard campaigning. The stock conies of excellent blood. Indeed of such quality Is the Arzona horse that United States army buyers prefer hi*m vheu he can be secured, to the product of any other region. The heavy demand, however, of the past three years has drawn heavily on the Arizona hors - ranges, and prices have risen. .Army buyers are paying from $25 to $55 and getting horses from three to five years old. Pennsylvania is the latest state that is trying to encourage and regulate marriage by new methods. Represen tative Roth of Eehigh, introduced a bill in the state legislature lately whloh provides that a male citizen of Penn sylvania over forty years old, making application for a marriage license shall pay to the clerk of courts a license of $100. This Is to be turned Into the state treasury for the purpose of main taining homes for women over forty years old, who have not had a suitable opportunity or offer of marriage and have not means sufficient to keep themselves in clothes and spending money. Any bachelor over forty year.* old who shall go outside of the state for a wife Bhall pay $100 Into the state treasury. The act is irrevocab e and can never be repealed without the consent of the majority of the oW wo men who have been regularly admitted to the homes established for them. The negro population of the United States Is not diminishing, as many suppose, but is on the gain. The per centage of increase since 1890, accord ing to the census of 1900, 13 13.78, ■which is a greater percentage of in crease than that of the previous dec ade. The actual figures, according to the latest census are as follows: Col ored population, 8,500,000; increase, 1.029,960. That is the largest increase shown by any census since 1790, ex cepting that of 1880, when the gain waa 1,700,784. TALHAGE’S SERMON. “BE YE ANGRY AND SIN NOT” — EPH. IV: 26. The Sin of Alcoholism—The Spirit of (■ambling—Aid for the I'obrUsser— Indignation Over Fraud— Mercj for the Erring One. (Copyright, 1901, by L.ouis Klopsch, N. Y.) Washington, June 30.—A delicate and difficult duty is by Dr. Talmage In this discourse urged upon all. and es pecially upon those given to quick temper; text. Ephesians iv, 26, “Be ye angry and sin not.” Equipose of temper, kindness, pa tience, forbearance, are extolled by most of the radiant pens of inspiration, but my text contains that which at first sight is startling. A certain kind of anger is approved—aye. we are com manded to indulge in it. The most of us have no need to cultivate high tem per. and how often we say things and do things under affronted impu’se which we are sorry for when perhaps it is too late to make effective apology! Why, then, should the apostle Paul dip his pen in the ink horn and trace upon parchment, afterward to be printed upon paper for all ages, the injunction, "Be ye angry and sin not?” My text commends a wholesome in dignation. It discriminates between the offense and the offender, the sin and the sinner, the crime and the criminal. To illustrate: Alcoholism has ruined more fortunes, blasted more homes, de- ! Btroyed more souls, than any evil that I I think of. It pours a river of poison and j fire through the nations. Millions have ! died because of it. and mililons are dy- : ing now, and others will die. Intern- j perance is an old sin. The great Cyrus, 1 writing to the Lacedcmoniaus of him- ! self, boasted of many of his qualities, j among others, that he could drink and j hear more wine than his distinguished j brother. Louis X and Alexander the Great, died drunk. The parliament of Edinburgh in 1661 is called in history ‘‘the drunken parliament.” Hugh Mil ler, the first stone mason and after ward a world renowned geologist, writes of the drinking habit3 of his day, saying: "When the foundation | was laid, they drank. When the walls j were leveled for laying the joists, th^y drank. When the buildings were fin- j ished, they drank. When an apprentice j joined, they drank.” In the eighteenth century the giver of an entertainment boasted that none of the guests went away sober. Noah, the first ship cap tain, was wrecked—not in the ark, for that was safely landed—but he was wrecked with strong drink. Every man or woman rightly constructed will blush with indignation at the national and international and hemispheric and planetary curse. It is good to be aroused against it. You come out of that condition a better man or a better woman. Be ye angry at that abomina tion, and the more anger the more ex altation to character. But that aroused feeling becomes sinful whpn it extends to the victim of this great evil. Drunk enness you are to hate with a vivid hatred; but the drunkard you are to pity, to help to extricate. I’rimtrated by Alcolio'bm. Just take into consideration that there are- men and women who once : were as upright as yourself who have j been prostrated by alcoholism. Per haps it came of a physician's prescrip tion for the relief of pain, a recurrence of the pain calling for a continuance ; of the remedy; perhaps the grandfath er was an inebriate and the tempta tion to inebriety, leaping over a gen eration, has swooped on this unfortu nate; perhaps it was under an at tempt to drown trouble that the be numbing and narcotic liquid was sought after; perhaps it was a gradual chaining of the man with the bever age which was thought to be a ser vant, when one day it announced it self master. Be humble now, and admit that there is a strong probability that under the same circumstances you yourself might have been captured. The two appropriate emotions for you to allow are indignation at the intoxi cant which enthralled and sympathy for tht victim. Try to get the sufferer out of nls present environment; rec ommend any hygienic relief that you know of and, above all, implore the di vine rescue for the struggle in which so many of the noblest and grandest have been worsted. Do not give your self up to too many philippics about what the man ought to have been and ought to have done. While your cheek flushes with wrath at the foe that has brought ruin, let your eye be moisten ed with tears of pity for the sufferer. In that way you will have fulfilled the injunction of the text, "Be ye angry and sin not.” The Spirit or (ininbtlnj. In Spain a don lost in 24 hours what equals $12,000,000. Twenty years ago it was estimated that the average gam bling exchange of money throughout Christendom exceeded $123,100,000,000 a year. But statistics 20 years ago would be tame compared with the pres ent statistics if we could find any one able enough at figures to tabulate them. It is all the same spirit of gam bling, whether the instruments aye cards or the clicking chips or the turn ing wheel or the bids of the Stock Ex change, where people sell what they never owned and fall because they cannot get paid for it. A prominent banker tells me that he thinks 50,000 people financially prostrated by the recent insanities in Wall street. Here and there a case is reported, but the vast majority suffer in silence. The children are brought home from school the wardrobe be denied replenishment, the table will have scant supply, wild generosity will be turned into grim want. Forty years from now will be ! felt the disaster of last month's black Thursday. Can you hear the story of the unprin cipled manipulators of stocks and of the devices of the gambling saloon to entrap the verdant and unsuspicious without having your pulses tingle, and your heart thump, and your entire na ture shocked with the villainy? If so, you are not much of a man or much of a woman. You ought to be angry, for there Is no sin in such vehement dis like. You ought to be so angry that you could not repress your feelings in the presence of young men who are just forming their life theories. In every possible way you ought to denounce such stupendous robbery. I-et it be known that the only successful game In which a man plays for money is the one which a man loses all and stops. Incllcnmtto'i Over Fran«1. There is another sin that we are of tentimes called to be angry with, and that is fraud. We all like honesty, and when it is sacrificed we are vehement in denunciation. We hope that the de tectives will soon come upon the track of the absconding bank official, of the burglar who blew up the safe, of the clerk who skillfully changed the figures in the account bcok, of the falsifier who secured the loan on valueless property, of the agent who because of his per centage wrongfully admits a man to the benefit of a life insurance policy when his heart is ready to stop and who comes from an ancestry char acteristically short lived. One act of fraud told of in big head lines in the morning papers rightfully arouses the nation's wrath. It is the interest of every good man and good woman who reads of the crime to have it exposed and punished. Let it go unscathed, and you put a premium on fraud, you depress public morals, you induce those who are on the fence be tween right and wrong to get down on the wrong side, and you put the busi ness of the world on a down grade. The constabulary and penitentiary must do their work. But while the merciless and the godless cry; “Good for him! I am glad he is within prison doors!”! be it your work to find out if the man ' is woith saving and what were the ; causes of his moral overthrow. Per haps he started in business life under j a tricky firm, who gave him wrong no- j tions of business integrity; perhaps j there was a combination of circum- ; stances almost unparalleled for temp tation; perhaps there were allevia tions; perhaps he was born wrong and ! never got over it; perhaps he did not realize what lie was doing, and if you | are a merciful man you will think of i other perhaps which, though they may not excuse, will extenuate. Per haps he has already repented and is washed in the blood of the Lamb and is as sure of heaven as you are. What an opportunity you have now for obey ing my text. You were angry at the misdemeanor, but you are hopeful for j the recovery of the recalcitrant. | Blessed all prison reformers! Blessed are those governors and presidents who are glad when they have a chance to pardon! Blessed the forgiving father who welcomes home the prodigal. Blessed the dying thief whom the Lord took with him to glory, saying. "This day shalt thou be with me in para dise!” Help for the I'nlit llrrer. Have a lightning in your eye and a flush in your cheek and a frown on your brow for a dastardy that would blot out the sun and moon and stars of Christianity and leave all things in an arctic night, the cold equal to the darkness. You do well to be angry, but how about those who have been flung of scepticism, and that is more mil lions than you will ever know of until the judgment day reveals everything. Ah. here comes your opportunity for gentleness, kindness, and sympathy. The probability is that if you had been plied with tha same in fluence as this unbeliever there I would not be a Bible in all your house from cellar to attic. Per all your house from cellar to attic. Per haps he was in some important trans action swindled by a member of the church whose taking of the sacrament was a sacrilege. Perhaps he read agnos- J tic books and heard agnostic lectures and mingled in agnostic circles until j he has been befogged and needs your Christian help more than any one that you kno • of. Do not get into any labor ed argument about the truth of Chris tianity. He may beat you at that. He has a whole artillery of weapons ready to open fire. Remember that no one was ever re formed for this life or saved for the life to come by an argument, but in hum blest and gentlest way, your voice sub dued. ask him a few questions. Ask him if he had a Christian parentage, and if he says yes ask him whether the old folks died happy. Ask him if he has ever heard of any one going out of this life in raptures of infidelity and agnosticism. Ask him if It is not a somewhat remarkable fact that the j Bible, after so many yeais, sticks to gether and that there are more copies of it in existence than ever before. Ask him if he j knows of any hotter civilization i than <§ ristian civilization and whether : he thinks the teachings of Confucius I or Christ are preferable. Ask him if he | tninks it would be a fair thing in the ! Creator of all things to put in this | world the human rate and give them j no direct communication for their ! guidance and, if they did wrong, tell them of no way of recovery, I think if a famous infidel of our time, instead of being taken away instantaneously, had died in his bed after weeks and months of illness he would have revoked his teachings and left for his beloved fam j i!y consolations which irzy could not ! find in obsequies at which not one word of Holy Scripture was read, or at Fresh Pond crematory, where no Chris tian benediction was pronounced. I ! do not positively say that In a pro longed illness there would have been a retraction, but 1 think there would. The Work of an Instant. A man thoroughly mad can say enough lu two minutes to damage him for 20 years. It took only five minutes for the earthcpiake to destroy Caracas. One unfortunate sentence uttered in affront in a speech in the United States senate shut forever the door of the White House against one of the most brilliant men of the last century. You can never trust a horse that has once run away, and you do not feel like trusting a man who has just once lost his equilibrium. You need to drive your temper as a man drives a frac tious span amid the explosions of a Fourth of July morning or the pyro technics of the Fourth of July night, with curbed bit, taut rein, commanding voice—mastering yourself and master ing what you drive. If you are natur ally high tempered, do not unnecessar ily go among irritations and provoca tions. Do not build a blast furnace next to a gunpowder mill. Then, also, such demonstrations of ungovernabil ity belittle one. Men take out their lead pencils and in estimating such a one take 50 per cent off. About the most hideous spectacle on earth is an angry man or woman burning not with anger commanded in my text, but with the sin represented. After such a dis play of gall, irrascibility, virulence, his Influence with many is forever gone. The world is full of politicians, doctors, lawyers, merchants, mechanics, min isters, housewives, wrho have by such explosions been blown to pieces. I say to all young men hoping to achieve financial, moral or religious success—control your tempers. Do not let criticism or defeat rebuff you. Verdi, the great musician, applied to become a student in the Conservatory of Music at Milan and he was rejected by the di rector, who said that he could make nothing of the newcomer, as he showed no disposition for music. But the crit icism did not exasperate or defeat him. The most of those who have largely succeeded in all departments were characterised by self control. In battle they would calmly look at the bomb thrown at their feet,wondering whether it would explode. In commercial life, when panics smote the city, these men were placid, while others were yelling themselves hoarse at the Stock Ex change. While others nearly swooned because a certain stock had gone 100 points clown they calmly waited until it would get 100 points up. While the opposing attorney in the courtroom frothed at the mouth with rage because of something said on the other side, he of the equipoise put a glass of water to his lips in refreshment and proceeded with the remark, "As I was saying when the gentleman interrupted me." Self rontrol! What a glorious thing! We want it in the doctor feeling the pulse of one desperately ill, we want it in the engineer when the head light of another train comes round the curve on the same track. We want it in Christian men and women in times when so much in church and state seem going to demolition—self control! What are you going to be good for^ 0 man or woman in a world like this, ever and anon your dander up, and so often in the sulks? We admit tnat you have many things to stir your blood and fill you with wholesome indigna tion, but going to such extremes you offend my text, which says you must discriminate and not lose your self control, "Be ye angry and sin not." Mi*r«y for thr winner. Surpassing ail other characters in the world’s biography stands Jesus Christ, wrathful against sin, merciful to the sinner. Witness his behavior to ward the robed ruffians who demanded capital punishment for an offending woman—denunciation for their sinful hypocrisy, pardon for her sweet peni tence. He did not speak of Herod as "his majesty’ or "his royal highness," but dared to compare him to a cunning fox, saying "Go ye and tell that fox," But, alert to the cry of suf fering, he finds ten lepers, and to how many of the ten awful invalids did ho give convalescence and health? Ten. Rebuking Pharisiaism in the most compressed sentence In all the vocab ulary of anathema—"Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?”—yet looking upon Peter with such tenderness that no word was spoken and not a word was needed, for the look spoke louder than words. "And the I^ord looked up on Peter, and Peter went out and wept bitterly." Oh, what a look it must have been to break down the swarthy fish erman apostle! It was such a hurt look, such a beseeching look, such a loving look, such a forgiving look! Was there in any other being since time began such a combination of wrath against wrong and compassion for the wrong doer? "Lion of Judah’s tribe!” Hear that! "Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world!” Hear that! Former Ladf of White Home. Miss Letitia Semple, daughter of President Tyler, and so a former mis tress of the white house, is living in Washington and was present at the reception given to Mrs. Daniel Mann ing and the Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution. She was spoken of as “the little lady in black, with a quuker bonnet,” for few knew her. She has for years been an inmate of the Iconise home, established by Banker Corcoran In memory of his wife and daughter and endowed for the benefit of gentlewomen of southern birth who are in reduced circumstances. Many old houses in Holland have a special door which is never opened save on two occasions, when there is a marriage or a death in the family. The bride and groom enter by this door; it is then nailed or barred up until death occurs, when it is opened and the body is removed by this exit. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. LESSON II.. JULY 14.

Almost every na tion has tarly traditions of a golden age, Edenic blessedness and Innocence, of tile sirpent. the tree, and degeneracy.

T'Vo opposite errors are frequently held In regard to the Hible account of tho firs’ man.

The savage is tho dt generate of sinful man. The other, that "lie was the most splendid specimen of the race the world ever saw, fair as an angel, holy as a seraph"; that "an Aristotle was but the rubbish of an Adam, and Athens hut the ruiliments of para dise."

It was not there to make thorn fall into sin, but to train them in virtue by resisting temptation. It was necessary that there should be something forbidden that seemed desir able. There was no other way of open ing the door to man's highest possibili ties. bis fullest development. II. The Battle with Temptation—Vs. 1-5. Satan used the most fitting instru ment for his purpose,—the erafty, sub tile. cunning, beautiful, fascinating, graceful serpent with fangs of deadly poison. It was a real serpent, used as a tool by "that old serpent called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world” (Rev. 12: 9). because it was the most fitting instrument for his purpose. This Is plain from the fact that the New Testament continually implies it. "The temptation of Jesus makes it quite cer tain that the serpent and Satan are In some way Identical" iJohn 8: 41; 2 Cor. 11: H [comp. 141: Rom. lti: 20; Rev. 12: 9; 20: 2). -Delltzsch. And from the fact that the literal serpent has none of the in tellect and moral perverseness which Is shown in the narrative. III. The Great Defeat and Its Conse quences. Vs b-15. Observe the threefold nature of this temptation. 6. "Saw that the trie was good." So It appeared. So Satan had said. He had thrown an au reole of glory around the promised de lights. The temptation shone In a bor rowed light. So ever Satan presents the attractions of evil. "Good for food." Ttmptlng the senses,—"the lust of the fU-Mi.” "Pleasant (a delight) to the eyes." Appealing to the higher sense of beauty, —"the lust of the eye." "To be desired to make one wise." Some unknown glor h us good that would life ht r into a liigh ir position like that of God,—"the pride id lift" tl John 2: 16). "The confluence of all these streams made such a current as swept the feeble will clean away; and blind, dazed, deafened by the rush of the stream. Eve was carried over the falls as a man might be over Niagara. — Maelaren "Sin took of the fruit there of." She yielded to the temptation and fell. “And gave also unto her husband . . . and he did eat.” He believed Satan all the more easily because the threatened di ath did not seem to fall upon Eve. According to Paul, Adam was not deceived tl Tim. 2: Mi. He disobeyed God with open eyes. According to Mil ton's fanciful theory, he partook of the ft ult from love to Eve, and desire to per ish with her.—Paradise Lost. Book IX. IV. Hope, Victory, after a Long Con flict. Paradise to Be Regained.—V. 15. "It slut)I bruise thy head," etc. The word may mean bruise, or lie in wait for, for the sake of destroying With the first definition "the metaphor is drawn from a man crushing a serpent with his foot, and a serpent fastening his teeth in a man's heel. The other rendering intro duces the Idea of a carefully planned am bush.” The Vulgate combines the alter native renderings, "It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for his heel." There shall he a conflict. The serpent shall injure man, but man will destroy the serpent. The Hnal victory will be with man. "Thy seed." A general word for her descendants, but among those descendants was to be the Mes siah. Man as a race, by means of Its Messiah, shall gain the victory. There shall rome a new Adam In a new para dise from which should be no fall. Though man’s heel should he w'ounded, the race sufTer many losses, It would not he destruction, but Anally the good should triumph over evil. The fall was not "a fall upward,” but when man fell. God started him again In an upward cc urse. I*ro»perlly In Ire'ftnrf. The Irish bank returns show increas ing prosperity of the island. In De cember, 1900, the deposits and cash balances in the Irish joint stock banks amounted to £43,280,000 (exclusive of £1,900,000 government and other pub lic balances in the Bank of Ireland), or £2,508,000 more than at the corre sponding date, being in fact the high est yet recorded, while the deposits in the savings banks amounted to £10, 308,000, or £333,000 more than in Up cember, 1899. Row Metal* "ftel." Can metals feel? Recently at the Royal Institution, Professor Jagadls Chunder Hose proved that they can, in much the same way as animate be ings. He struck a piece of copper, pinched a piece of zinc, gave it poison and administered an antidote, and threw light upon an artificial retina. In each case the electrical emotion, as registered by the galvanometer, was painful to witness. As the Ixindon Mail suggests in telling the story, there is an opening for a society for the prevention of cruelty to metals. Honor* for Sullivan.
