Prohibitionists Out In Force.
Every scat in the Opera house was filled
last evening , and considerable space utilized
as standing room at the grand temperance
mass meeting In which nearly all of the
churches In the city united. Muslo was fur
nished by the combined city choirs. The ad
dresses of the evening were all earnest tem
perance pleas , and were directed against the
open saloons of the city. There was no minc
ing of mrttcra , and existing evils and
their causes were freely dlsqusscd.
The present policy of the city government
In allowing saloons to run openly In defiance
of thn prohibitory law was severely con
demned. Mr. Jacob Sims was especially out-
epoken , and declared that the chief executive
of the city was In league with the saloon
keepers , and opposed to enforcing the law.
At the close of the meeting the following
resolution was Introduced :
Resolved , That it is the sense of this meet
ing that Mayor Rohrer bo urgently requested
to enforce the prohibitory la-w and wo pledge
him our earnest support.
The resolution passed almost unanimously.
A collection was taken to defray the expenses
of the meeting , aua it was announced that
the surplus , if any remained , would bo de
voted to the enforcement of the luw.

Situation of the Motor Iilnc.
The delay In getting the motor line in
readiness for operation does not seem to bo
caused entirely by the railroad companies ,
und It Is thought that If the city council
would take certain steps within its power ,
the obstructions might bo cleared nway and
the line would soon bo in active operation.
A Urn reporter yesterday Interviewed Mr.
Reed , the present owner of the motor line
franchise and learned some facts regarding
It that may bo of Interest to the public.
When nskcd ns to the exact state of affairs
now existing , Mr. Reed said !
' 'In order that you may understand just
what I had to contend against , and why the
line Is not already completed , Ivlll begin at
the beginning of my connection with the en
terprise and give you its whole history up to
the present time. When 1 purchased Mr. J.
K. Graves' franchise I was given to under
stand by an Interested party that there
would bo no delay caused In crossing the
tracks of the railroad companies and that the
way was entirely clear for the immediate
completion of the motor line from the dummy
depot on Broadway to Lake Maimwa. After
completing the purchase I was proceeding to
have these crossings condemned according
to law , when the attorney of the
railroads got out an Injunction
to prevent the condemnation proceedings.
My attorney then advised me to try to compromise -
promise the matter , instead of taking it Into
the courts. Winter came on about that time ,
and as nothing could bo done toward com
pleting the line at that season , even if the
way was clear , the matter rested until spring
opened the way for further work. The com
promise plan was faithfully tried , but con
tract after contract that was sent to railroad
headquarters was sent bade unsigned , and
sometimes without even a reasonable excuse
for doing so. If possible I wanted to get the
\vork done without Incurring any hard feel
ings , but have thus far been unsuccessful. .
A rlpht of way was' granted tor a motor line ,
but the railroads have only to ask the court
for an Injunction to stop it , and it is granted.
The railroad attorney seeks in several ways
to prevent the crossing , and in a number of
instances I can trace hindrances put.forth ,
directly to his ingenuity. Now It is not to be
supposed that one railroad Is nt all willing to
have its tracks crossed by any other line , but
there is no doubt in my mind but what there
Is a far different motive in all the
talk about tlic objection of these companies.
A petition asking the council to interfere was
circulated and over four hundred signatures
were secured , but it was never presented to
the council. It was smothered somewhere.
The board of trade has now taken the matter
in hand , and thelrcommitteoreports to-night.
I understand that the report is favorable. I
hope Urn * the result will bo moro successful
than the petition , and that this determined
resistance will bo overcome. Now , if it was
not for this , Tcould have the line running by
the 1st of May. With the exception of these
crossings tho'track is nil laid. The Wabash
crossing has already been put in , and thojury
that was appointed to condemn the 'stock
track' of the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy
will probably finish ltd work to-night. "

The Partnership of God nnd Man.
The extremely unpleasant weather of yes
terday kept , many persons from venturing be
yond their homes and the attendance at the
various churches suffered in consequence.
Broadway Methodist was well filled. The
sermon was an effective one and was deliv
ered by the pastor , the Rev. W. H. W. Roes.
It was his first regular discourse since the
revival services were begun several weeks
ago.
ago.Ho chose for his text 1 Cor. 111:0 : , "Wo nro
laborers together with God , etc. " 'This , "
said the speaker , "is a most wonderful passage -
sago of scripture. It has In It the epitome of
the divine economy. In it you can almost see
the Incarnation of Christ ; the suffering in the
garden of Getbsemano ; the cross with Its
dying Lord ; the baptism of the Holy Spirit ;
the beginning and ending of the plan pi re
demption. In it you can almost hear the di
vine commands. In it you have- the largest
possible outlook into divmo things ;
into the plans and purposes by which
man Is to bo saved from hltnseU and
made a king and priest unto God. This part
nership of the human and the divine is a well
established and thoroughly established fact.
It is everywhere spoken of In the scrip
tures. " The speaker hero referred to nu
merous passages to sustain this statement.
"I want to show you that this contains and
expresses a law which everywhere holds
good , and also that either element left to
itself falls. The necessity of personal salva.
tlon is presupposed. This , man cannot ac
complish alone. It Is the union of two efforts ,
the harmony of two wills God's and man's
that perfects the work. The choicest things ,
those in which wo most delight , are of the
past. The greatest people , the profoundest
philosophy , the most beautiful language , are
among' the things of the past. The dead
languages are the richest. The Greek is the
most flexible ; the Hebrew the most express
ive. The valorous deeds , beautiful imagery
and profound jwstulatlons of the low , sensual
peoples have been perpetuated in the his-
tones of those languages. They depended
not upon God. They failed to save them
selves. There are nations which have existed
for thousands of years. They have gone
Independent of the gospel.nnd are yet un
saved. Herein lies the necessity for mission
ary effort. Religions that are purely human
itarian are short-lived. They may be pleas
ing , but they fall to satisfy the divine side
of man.
The divine principle , operating alone , fails.
How does the divine lift the human J By the
interposition , not of the divine , but of the
human. The bible is the voice of God In the
language of man. God speaks , but man must
preach the word of life that the race may
hear and know what arc Gd's wishes con
cerning them. All the elements that nro
necessary for the development of a crop of
wheat are given. Soil , germ , sunshine and
rain , all are bestowed bounteously , The
germ Is cast Into the earth ; sunshine and
rain fall upon it ; it springs up , dovelopes the
blade , then the stalk , and then the glorious ,
golden harvest stands before you. Now you
may say "It Is God's purpose that I shall bo
fed. " So it is , but it is n part of the
plan of feeding you that you put
out your hand , gather the grain ,
convert It into bread and eat It. Thus you
live. In this are combined the efforts of the
divine and the human to do the purpose of
the divine. God can furnish the means for
your sustenance , but you must use the means.
The same is true of character. God de
signed that we should all be good , but Ho
could not and can not make our characters
for us. God furnishes pure influences , und
in them are shown -His purposes , , but. mun
must appropriate these Influences- God fur-
ulshes His word , which is His power to salva
tion. Ho furnishes the free exposition , o'f
this word , which , elves . the influences
which are to draw wen fr.omthe
world nnd worldly lusts Into Himself
and heavenly things , but He leavei It for
you to act In conjunction with these tnflu-
cnccd and plans. You have the preacher and
the preached ivord , but some mon net as
though the preacher ought to bo taken up to
heaven on Sunday night ; filled with noly
thoughts during the week ; let down again
the next Sunday nnd bo taken back into
heaven again after the Sunday night service.
I judge this from the looks of the contribu
tion bosket ns it returns from some of my
congregations.
There Is a law which operates In all things
on earth. The wheels all turn ono way and
it Is for man to discover this law : to see these
wheels and put over them the belts of man's
inventive genius. God has given us bodies ,
soil , sunlight and germs , but AVO must use
them all to sustain life. You may work In
harmony with this law and accomplish the
purposes of God , or you may act contrary to
these purposes and thwart them nil. There
is ere in tno mountain nnd lead In the mine ,
but God cannot tnko these out nnd make n
printing press. You muot dig them , com
bine them by the genius Ho has given you ,
and then the world Is filled with the grand
prlncloles of God and the purest thoughts of
man.
man.Tho ( act of destitution also sustains this
proposition. In the administration of earthly
affairs we can't get along without God nnd
Ho cannot get along without us. Most men
will admit the first statement , but most mm
nro slow to admit the latter. Hero Is n land
where people are suffering- from famine.
Thcro Is no substance. In the land and the
people must die. There. Is another land
which has abundant sustenance for itself and
those who nro starving , but God cannot take
the corn and wheat from the ono and bear It
to the other. Human hands must be the me
dium through which God's
purposes nro no-
, compliance ! and thu destitute nro supplied.
The great south land is suffering bccauso
years ago some ono did not do his duty.
To-day , ignorance , llho a poll , covers the
land. Those people possess capacities as
great as ours. They ought to bo as highly
intelligent nnd cultured as wo are. This is
the purpose of God and it is our duty to see
that It is accomplished.
The bible Itself Is n human product. It
was written by men , butj there la In it the di
vine element. Tnko the divine clement out
of It and It is no moro than any other book.
Put the alvlno element Into it nnd it is the
beacon light of the world ; the guide to the
pathway of the Just.
It Is n glorious , an overpowering thought
to me , that I am the temple of God.
I am n building aroilnd deity.
God is In mo. He is the tenement of my
body. You nro the temples In which God
dwells. Think of It , and let , the thought spur
you to n moro perfect life nnd hearty
obedience to God's commands. You nro the
husbandry of God , His field , in which Ho
sows the seed of the kingdom nnd from which
Ho will expect to reap the harvest of His
purposes accomplished in the lives of us nil.
If these propositions nro true , then the
least hesitancy on the part of the weakest
saint prevents the conquest of the world.
How necessary it Is that wo shall nil do our
work freely , gladly , nnd to the glory of God
Ho with the ono talent should make up his
mind to do his part , that there Blmll lie no
failure through his neglect. God will accom
plish His purposes , but it may take ages. You
may help or you may hinder this work. God
Waited for 0,000 years until Ono could soy ,
"Thy will bo Oono , " and then the Christ
child was born. He waited twelve centuries
nnd Luther appeared. Fourteen centuries
and Wesley lived and aroused the world with
his grand nnd true interpretations of the
word of God. God is waiting for you nnd for
mo. Shall wo keep him wniting longer , or
spring to the task that is at our hand nnd
which ho expects us to perform. This Is our
mission. No ono can do It for us and God
will hold us accountable for its accomplish
ment.

SHAM SICKNESS DETECTED.
An Amusing Incident in Which Cas
tor Oil Played a Part.
Mobile Register : Colonel Bevior , qf-
th. confederate army , relates that his
surgeon came to him ono day , saying
that ho had 176 men on the sick list.
Mnny _ of them were believed to bo play
ing sick , nnd the colonel and the sur
geon agreed upon a course of treatment.
The result showed that , whatever pro
gress may have been made in t.ho sci
ence of medicine , nothing is moro ef
fective in many cases than a ccrtilvj
very simple and old-fashioned remedy.
Next morning nt roll call I had the
sorgoantrmajor form the sick in double
file and march them to the doctor's
quarters , where ho stood ready with a
bucket of castor oil in ono hand , a table
spoon in the other and his sleeves rolled
up. Ono hundred and eighty-two
sturdy invalids in 'open ranks were be
fore him , and -the solemn preparations
had attracted so much attention that
half the brigade were present to see the
fun.
fun.Tho
The doctor gravely approached the
head of the lino.
"Well , Brown , what ails you this
morning11"
"Oh , doctor , I have such a nervous
headache. "
"I think a dose of castor oil will help
you , " and with a wry face , amid the
shouts of his comrades , Brown took it.
"Mullins , are you sickV"
"Yes , doctor , I have the plumbago. "
"Castor oil is the very thing for
that , " said the doctor , with an audible
smile and Mullins1 " "
, "plumbago" was
greased with a heavy dose.
"Hallo. Melton. What's the matter
with you ? "
"Colic , " said Melton , feebly.
"Bad ? " said the doctor.
"Not very. I don't need any oil. "
"You must take this , " said the doc
tor , "unless you are well enough to go
back to duty. "
"I'll go back then , " murmured Mel
ton , looking round apprehensively.
"Adjusant , " I said , "put him on
double guard for shamming. "
Thus the isiuo was clearly defined ,
castor oil or double duty , and quite a
number of them accepted the latter.
The fun ninonfc the outsiders was up
roarious ; bad Jokes flow thick and fast.
The curatives properties of castor oil
bordered upon the marvelous , for next
morning not over fifty men were re
ported on the sick list.

HOLMAN's ROMANCE.
The Great Objector Has a Story Why
lie Cease I to Object to Pensions.
Philadelphia Times : Representative
Helm an is not a man that babies would
cry for nor children follow in the street.
Ho has not a winning smile , nnd I do
not believe ho was over guilty of n. ca
ress , Ho is grizzled and dried up , not
so very old only sixty-six but dry and
juicoless. His hair and scant whiskers
are colorless , like stubbles in the hay-
flold , and his face looks so much like
parchment that I always expect to hear
u crackling in his chocks when ho opens
his mouth to say anything.
Mr. Hqliimn has made n reputation in
congress by his lack of amiability ; by
preventing other mon from getting
what they want ; by objecting to every
thing that docs not please him , and by
advocating und practicing parsimony
till it has become a proverb. People
ple who are going around with sub *
scription papers always pass Holman by ,
and no ono who is searching for n ro
mance would bo likely to look for it in
his record ; but J heard a story the other
day of his early youth'that seemed al- '
mpsfc incredible , yet it is pfton.truo that
fact is stranger than fiction. ' ' ' .
HIS JSAKLY LOVE.
Mr. Holman spent his early' Hfo just
.as Lincoln did , in a log liouso down in
Southern Indiana , and gothl schooling
from itinerant padjigogucs who had n
scant knowledge of reading , writing nml
nrithmotic , tiuiclUjto the boys nnu girls
in the winter , "boarded around , " mid in
the summers wolfed for the farmers in
the neighborhood' , lor labor was so scnrco
tlmt no ono thought of going to school
while the frost vfns out of the ground.
Then , ambitidua. 'to know something
moro than the cotlntry teachers could
toll him he got n ! Verm or two nt the
academy ana bccnmo a teacher himself.
Ono of his pupils" was a daughter of the
richest man in the neighborhood nnd
the prettiest girl for miles around. Hol-
mnn fell in lovoTwith her , asked her to
marry him , but "got the mitten. " She
was too ambitious to marry a poor follow
like him , who wore homespun , and took
up with the son of a Louisville mer
chant. It was a long time before the
discarded lover recovered from the dis
appointment , particularly tuf the boys
and girls tensed him unmercifully about
it , and their taunts at last drove him
away from the lowh in which ho lived.
Ho finally studied law nnd wns admitted
to the bar , wont to the legislature , nnd
then to congress , attaining prominence ,
as everybody knows. But ho never
quite forgot his early lovo.
THIS HOMJIMll'S WIDOW.
Soon after Garlleld was elected presi
dent , Mr. Holman visited Louisville ,
nnd n , gentleman called at his hotel to
solicit nis aid in obtaining a pension for
tha widow of a union soldier , who , ho
said , was very much in need of the
money. The claim had boon rejected
by the pension olllco on some techni
cality , although the facts were clear.
Mr. ilohrmn wanted to oblige his friend
and inquired into the particulars of the
caso. Very soon it wns disclosed that
the claimant was the very same woman
who had rejected him when ho wns u
young man , and , although ho declined1
to see her , ho came to Washington
with the papers in his pocket and made
a strong effort to got a bill through the
house of representatives. But ho had
objected to so many bills tlmt other
members were interested in that there
were plenty of mon to object to this , and
for three sessions ho tried in vain to
get the pension granted. Finally ho
wont to the members who xvoro most
persistent in their objections and prom
ised not to intcrfcro with them again if
they would let him get his bill through.
Of course they were glad to make such
a contract with "tho great objector , "
and according to the understanding ono
morning ho called up his pension bill ,
got it passed unanimously , and then fol
lowed it ov"or to the senate , where he
had no difficulty. When the measure
became a law liolman wrote the lady a
long letter , in which ho made some
tender allusions to old times and offered
to do anything ho could to promote Her
happiness.
This explains why the gentleman
from Indiana no longer objects to the
consideration of-pension bills.
