Rov. Dr. Gray , of Chicago , occupied
the Broadway pulpit yesterday morning
nnd evening. As n result the audiences
that assembled were regaled with two
able nnd instructive discourses. The
sermon of last evening was especially
noteworthy , as it showed American so
ciety to bo possessed of characteristics
which are torjolgn to the genius of our
civilization. Caste , the curse of the old
world , has gained so strong a foot-hold
upon American soil that it is n part and
parcel of our social life. This primal
fact , with the dangers entailed , were
ably discussed , from which valuable nnd
practical lessons were drawn by the
auditors.
The morning soryico drew a largo
nudicnco as , being the general agent of
the Frccdman's Aid society , ho is capa
ble of handling the subject intelligently
and in a manner to edify as well as in
struct. Ho announced his text as II
Timothy , 2,16. "Study to show thyself
approved unto God a workman that
ncedeth not to bo ashamed , rightly
dividing the word of truth.1 '
"No man has a right to do his work in a
manner that will make him ashamed
before God. It is ono of God's methods
to make a man ashamed when ho fails ,
and any man who will make n failure
before Him ought to bo kicked. Wo
may mnk'o a/allure before men , but in
the eyes of God make a grand success.
Human judgments by human methods
of calculation .are not reliable nor are
they always true. The relations exist
ing between success and failure are so
close that wo have to bo al.ways and
closely upon our guard to discriminate
rightly between them. This close rela
tion furnishes the ground for the dif
ference botwcon..skillcd' . unskilled
labor. If you build a house you are
anxious to secure the best results in nnd
from vour bnildin" ' . Unskilled labor
- : -l , B - - - .c.Er . - * - _ . . " " " .fr ? " '
night construct a tiling and call it a
: ioub6 because it answered the purpose
of a house , but you know it is tbo farth
est removed from what you want. The
level , the rule and the artistic o.ye of
the true mechanic reveals its defects.
In this building you have nothing but a
direct Io3s. Material , time and
patience- have boo'n wasted lo make
\ failure. The same expendi
ture would have made a success.
If you have'your horse shod you prefer
to have the work done by a man who
understands his business rather ttmu
one who will spoil the nails and the
shoes and lame the horso. It requires a
greater intelligence and higher cultura
to do skilled than unskilled labor. The
samo..fact obtains between physical and
mental labor and between mental , and
spiritual labor. Following the sumo
line up to communion with God there is
need of constant care and preparation
that this relationship between the
human and Iho divine natures may bo
maintained in its intended closeness ,
and any attempt to do this will involve
n severing of the spiritual contact and
involve the soul in failure.
From the multiplicity of conditions
under which this law applies , I will
select only two as best applicable to the
subject under consideration , viz : the
work of the state and the work of the
church. It is a most important thing
that the state , bo builded well ; that its
foundations- secure and the super
structure s > metrical and beautiful. It
is just as important that the
church bo well built. It is
impossible to build either the sciito
or the church Without intelligence.
Governments have existed for centu
ries whoso people were ignorant. Some
such there are to-day , but if such gov
ernments prosper it is through the in
telligence of the ruler. A people that
has potfer must have intelligence. This
is the source of the power of a people.
In this country the people are the rulers.
The government does not reside at
Washington , nor is it in the congress or
house of representatives. In the politi
cal campaign you are just opening you
will hoar much of the necessity of re
taining the present executive Or put
ting another in lite place , that the gov
ernment may bo secure , but the govern
ment is in your own homo and in your
own bunds. You make presidents and
senates. You , the people , are the gov
ernment and you must bo intelligent.
You cannot maintain the government
with ignorant people. In this country
you cannot maintain protcstant religion
without this primal prerequisite , intelli
gence , because of the close relation be
tween truth and error. You know the
difference between a mass and a multi
tude. You see a gront body of people
thinking as ono man , acting us ono man ,
the identity of each ono lost
in that of the whold. That
is n mass. If ono gets his
head a little higher than the rest the
director says "down" and down ho goes ,
A multitude is a body Composed of indi
viduals , each thinking and acting for
himself , independent of nil others and
yet ia harmony with them. Wo must
have multitudes , pot masses.
Did you over think what a grnntl
thing it is to bo able to rend ? It is the
greatest tiling the mind of man can ucr
complish. Upon a white shoot there
arc small , black marks and through
thcso the power of the mind reaches
backward a thousand years , and talks
with men who have lived , acted , spoken
and passed away. It is a wonderful
thing to be able to read. IV puts ouo in
the focal center of all truth , ( or all that
can be known of the future is unfolded
lo the man who cn road. Hoyhb can
not read knows but little except what ho
can touch with his finger's ends. "
The speaker then followed with a
showing of the comparative intelligence
of the American ppoplo , busing it upon
the percentage of readers * in the differ
ent states. Iowa stands at the
head of the list , having two in
every hundred who cannot read.
Illinois has 4 , Indiana C , and Massachu
setts , the boasted contorof learning , 6.
Ho said , "Such faith have I in the
power of our civilization that a roan will
land at'Oustlo Garden , but before he
reaches Council Bluffs he. is an Ameri
ca. ! ! .citizen. 'I have no foa'r of the
foreign population. My anxiety is for
the southern states. " lie then ahowcd
thocomparative illiteracy of the people
oi the south. From 22 to 48 per Cent
cannot roach nt all , and full } ' one-half
of the remainder cannot read intelli
gently. Numerous illustrations were
furnished showing the extent of this ,
ignorance- oven in pi6 pulpit. The
speaker declared that without aid from
Jtlio north the sbutl ) could riot rise
from its present condition. Ho re
viewed the past work of tlio'Froednmn's
Aid society , showing Vrhat lm $ already
been accomplished through 'its labor * .
Four million people had .boon taught 19
read , and through , this means- , had been
led to Christ. The field promised n
grand result for the future if only Iho
people of the north lent the assistance
required. In closing n collection was
taken nnd subscriptions received to the
fund of the society , and a handsome
Bum was realised.

CAREER OF "BILL" SCOTT
Once n PcnnHess 1'njje , Now One nf
Our Wrnltlilcst Men.
Washington Correspondence Globo-
Democrat : It is understood by Cleve
land's friends that Mr. Scott'is to have
charge of Cleveland presidential boom
anil for that reason ho will bo an im
portant figure in national politics for
the next Jew months. Mr. Scott has
succeeded to the place in President
Cleveland's affections once hold by Dan
Man nip jr. * and the president makes no
move wuliout firstxcbn sulting lilhi. Ho
is a constant visitor at the wnito houbo ,
iuid ho performs many and varied
missionary labors. In appear
ance ho is slender and of
medium height. His head is largo and
well poised. His eyes are gray and deep
sot. A thick mustache covers a firm
mouth. His face is strong and intel
lectual looking. Ho dresses in fashion
ably cut clothing , usually in a sack coat
and loose trousers. When in conversa
tion his face is animated. Ho Unions to
every word uttered , and replies in'short ,
sharp sentences. Ho is n mpstagreeable
correspondent , and is ono of the best in-
formpu politicians in the country.
"Anything but politics , " ' ho said tome
mo once. "I never talk politics with
any ono. I'll discuss any subject you
may suggest but that. "
Scott's career has been most remark
able. It roads like a romance. Ho is
not quito sixty years of ago , is ono of
the wealthiest men in the land , employs
10,000 workmen , might have had a seat
in the cabinet if ho so desired , yet
thirty years ago ho was i\ fish peddler
in Erie , Pa. Ho was born and reared
in poverty , and frankly says ho knows
but very little of his early life. When
ho was in his teens ho was made a page
in the house of representatives. Ho
made many friends. The member from
Erie took a deep interest in the little
follow , and when congrcss _ adjourned
for the summer , asked him what he was
going to do.
"I don't know , " Scott replied , "I
haven't any homo or any place to go
to. "
And so it came that the kind-hearted
congressman took the lad home with
him. Ho was put to work as n shipping
clerk on the wharves of his employer ,
who wttsut that time olio of the princi
pal owners of the now almost lost ship
ping of the western lakes. Ho worked
hard arid well. He did anything that
came to hand from keeping books to
peddling fish. Ho studied hard and
saved .money , and along about 18oO ho
got an opportunity to engage for him
self in. the shipping business. What
ever ho touched turned to gold. He was
soon rocogni/.ed as a bright follow , and
was given many a helping hand. Ho
fell in love with and married u wealthy
young lady. His wife was a sister of
Frank D. Tracy , of the stock board ex
change hero , and at the time of his
death president of the Chicago , Rock
Island & Pacific railroad. Tracy helped
his brother-in-law to make valuable
triends among the solid men of
Gotham. Ho became- acquainted
with Samuel J. Tildon , when that
wily old man was making his fortune in
railroads , and the friendship lasted un
til Tlldon's death. The latd Commodore
Vanderbilt also took a deep interest in
his welfare , and let him Into moro than
one big transaction on the ground fioor.
Ho becump interested in the manufac
ture of iron and the mining of coal , us
well as the construction of railroads.
Ho owns anthracite mines in Pennsyl
vania West Virginia , and as either pres
ident or director ho controls over 22,000
miles of railroad , probably the largest
numbpr of miles managed by ono man
in the world.
That is how the lad whowaaonco a
page in the house made his vast fortune.
He has served faithfully in congress ,
too. In the very place wiioro thirty-six
years ngo ho was a penniless page ho
now sits as ropresontativo. Ho is ono
of the leaders of his party , and the most
trusted adviser of the administration.
In Erie he lives in regal stylo. Ho
owns a largo , magnificent mansion , sur
rounded by all that good taste can sug
gest and'money purchase. For years
no owned end of the best racing btables
in the world ' , but of late he has given
uy racing. Ho is tend of a good
horse , ho\Vover , nnd delights in driving.
In Washington Mr..Scqtt and his family
cut a wide swath , and' when in Now
York , whore by Clio way the come very
often , the finest suite of rooms in the
Fifth Avenue hotel is placed nt their
disposal. Ho has two daughters who
nro happily married and who entertain
on a largo scale. '
Mr , Scott la a very busy man. Ho Is n
director In half a-dole n railways and
president of three banks , besides being
the Inrgpst coal operator jn Western
Pennsylvania and'tho Hocking vallop.
"Few men know how lo give a better
dinner than Bill Scott. " said ono of his
friends to mo the otherday. . "Ho can
give Bayard points on cooking terrapin ,
and ovorvbody'knows that Cleveland's
Premier Is'ono of the best terrapin cooks
in Washington. Scott's dunors | in his
own house are marvels of gastronomy ,
and "
"Well , why shouldn't they be ? " broke
in abystander. "Ho pays his chef $10,000 ,
a year.11 . , .
And yet Jio was a penniless boy thirty-
flVe yours ago , anil when lunching nlbno
seldom upends more lhon , 20' cents for
his meal. . " .

Chbap Fencing Instead of building
fpnces horse high , nip tight , and bull
strong , as heretofore , tho. farmer using
our plan builds a fence only throe inch
es high. Ho then places' upon nil his
stock spectacles of sufficient power to
make the fences appear ten foot high.
Saves million of dollars a month.
Tiger Chaser In India thousands of
interesting natives and enterprising na
tives are annually consumed by tigers.
The tiger chaser is a small airtight tin
box filled with Hmburgor cheese and
carried In the vest pocket. When a
man's hear the tiger's rustle ho falls
flat and presses a spring. The 'odor
escapes and the tiger thinks the man
has boon dead three weeks. Ho files ,
over the hills and far away , for tigcis
oat nothing not fresh killed.
D Imperishable Paving This Is what
the ntfcs have clamored for , the en
gineers sighed for. and the inventor
sought for. Like all great inventions ,
it Is simple. Take the streets on which
the most wear comes , and pave them
with railway sandwiches. Careful ex
periments , conducted by omlnftnt en
gineers , have just shown this material
to bo harder than the cheek of the
Chicago drummer , . which has hitherto ,
been considered the toughest substance
known.
Imitation Bibles The largest size
family bible costs $50. But no ono looks
into thcso largo parlor bibles. They
arc too unwieldy. They , are for orna
ment. An exact imitation can bo made
from a block of wood handsomely cov
ered With leather for $5 , and will never
bo detected. But if you have any fear ,
put the bible under a glass case. Tbo
other 845 at interest will produce $3 a
year for the poor. It is a great satis
faction to feel that you are putting on
$50 worth of stvlo for $5.
Thief'Trap A fine overcoat , Bilk um
brella and other bait is placed in a hall
and the dopr left open. The articles
liang'on a rack , behind which the ap
paratus" is concealed. Thief slips in
and grabs. A pair of lontf iron arms lly

At same time a boll rings. Attendant
appears. Also takes thieTs hat , coat
and vest to bo sold to second hand deal

polo projects in rear of-'crtr. ' It is
liinged to the car , and1 when not
in use rises like a most vertical
ly in the air , witht at'flag at the
peak to make the car look jaunty. When
in use it is lowered till horizontal
and supported by chains. The pole is
supplied with twenty pairs jbf straps and
stirrups and twenty small saddles for
twenty passengers to sit outside. Two ,
three , 'or oven four poles , side by side ,
may bo used , and of course four or live
of the saddles may bo strapped on each
horse morning and evening. It would
require an engraving to make the gen
tle peruser appreciate the picturesque
improvement as it appears when loaded.
The Chestnut and > valnut street line
has ordered forty of these attachments ,
with five side saddles and fifteen strad

OdU Ways of Some People.
"Customers have "
queer pecularities ,
said an old retail giocor to a Telegram
reporter , "and it takes a long appren
ticeship to wait on all of them satisfac
torily. "Now I know all the failings of
my old customers and I can got along
with them without any trouble. But
lot a now clerk tackle one of these , and ,
not knowing the peculiar individuals ho
has to deal with , ho will soon find him
self in hot water. So when I got n now
clerk , which rarely happono , for I do
not believe in making changes , I go
over my list of customers and post him
as well as I can how each will have to bo
treated.
"Speaking of the odd ways of people ,
they nro almost beyond belief. Now I
have ono old customer who would not
buy anything of mo if I promptly mot
him at the door and asked him what I
could soil him. If I did ho would leave
the store at once , I just let him alone ,
and ho will hang around a long time
watching me wait on customers and
looking at ono article after another , not
forgetting to nibble at the crackers and
cheese. When ho has done this to his
heart's content ho la ready to buy , and
I generally succeed In selling him a nice
bill of goods.
"Another customer is Just the oppo
site of this case , nnd the moment ho
steps Into the store ho must bo recog
nised and treated in such a manner as
to make him believe his trade is more
desirable than that of any ono else. Ho
could no moro buy n bill of goods with
out sampling each article than ho could
go to sleep without shutting his eyes.
"But it is among the women that I
find the most peculiar customers , prob
ably bocUuso they do more of the buy
ing than the men. Their eccentricities
are legion nnd life is too short to tell of
them. Tboro is the onei wio is afraid
slio will bo cheated in every purchase
Bho.makes , and will insist upon some
private murks by whlchphO can tell the
particular articles prepared , for her.
Tlipn there is the ono Who wants n
sample of this'that , and < the other thing
to take homo with her and ( ry to see if
they would suit the old man. She is al
most aa bad as the ono who wants every
thing a little under priqo , because she
docs all her trading with you nnd does
not trade with your competitor aoross
the way , and she does 'think of giving
him a part of her trade. ' " >
"Finally , there is th.o ybung husband
and. wife , who have just gone into house
keeping ; but their peculiarities are to
be kept sacred and I wilt spare them. I
was there myself once. "

finds bettor cntortninmonl elsewhere ,
generally at his own fireside.
The man who works and accumulates
property has a stake in the govern
ment. Ho liai n personal intciest in
its being well administered , and ho is
especially concerned that law nnd order
shall bo. maintained as ho has real In-
tdrcsts to be protected. Our Talth in the
Gcorgo orMcGlynn antl-poVcrty society
abolishing poverty by public meeting ,
or by supporting professional philnn-
throphists , has never been -great' , but
we have unlimited faith in the ability of
those who work and pave to abolish all
that is most oppressive and repugnant
in poverty.
The Indian Problem. .
In the recent debate on compulsory
Indian education , Senator Dawcs , of
Massachusetts , said : I can toll the sen
ate that in 1878 was the first special am
proprlatlon for forty jonrs , outside-
of treaty stipulations , for the education
of Indian children , and that was $10,000.
It was 810,000 the next year ; it was
$20,000 , the next year ; it was $30,000 the
next year ; it was $00,000 the next year ;
it was $120,000 the next year ; , it was
nine hundred nnd odd thousand dollars
I speak in round numbers throe
years ngo. Two years ago it "was
$1,200,000 , and last year it was $1,100,000 ,
in round sums.
Senatpr Teller of Colorado : For inoro
than ton years.consccutl \ ply since the
close of the great war of our rebellion ,
for ton straight years , every month of
the year , wo paid out moro for Indian
wars than wo paid in nny one year lor
Indian education , and in ono six
months , any six months during those
ton years , we paid moro mo.ioy than wo
have paid since 1880 for the education
of the Indian children.
But wo support these men , women ,
and children , giving thorn all their food
and all their clothing , and we profess to
educate them , and then wo say to the
savage : "Go to school if you see fit and
if you do not you need not. " Thus year
after year under these treaties wo main
tain school at agencies whore to-day
there will not bo found 3 per cent , and
in mno iv ol wrrtQ nnf 1 nnp ppfit of the
* "
whole population that can bo said to
have boon benefited at all by
thcso schools. You may take some
of the tribes that I could mention
where we have from fifteen to twenty
years maintained schools ; where it is
utterly impossible to find a full-blooded
native who can read or write Or bign his
name. Why ? Because wo have sent
out a teacher to- teach who had not
special interest in getting in the chil
dren. The teacher got his pay whether
the children came or whether they did
npt come. The agents had not any any
interest in it , the Indian had ndt any
interest in it and so the schools have not
been taught , but wages have boon paid
in many cases under treaty for at least
twenty years.
I am satisfied , after a great many
years of observation and some years of
experience , that there is but ono way to
settle the Indian question. Tt never
will bo settled in any other way until
you compel the Indian to blister his
hands. I repeat -what I have said hero
before and what has been repeated un
til it has become Irite in tbo senate ,
that no people ever yet emerged from
barbarism that did not emerge through
labor. No people have over been
civilised by outside efforts , and no
people over will bo. It is only when
you compel the people themselves to
support themschos that they come up ;
and you may send your teachers to the
Indians and you may keep them even
tn the schools , if you do not with this
compel labor , the agitation that will
enable them to support themselves , and
ultimately say to them , "Having thus
educated you , you must now take care
of yourselves" if we do not do that wo
shall have the Indian problem with us
for all timo.
