DR. UIRRELL IX THE PLLPIT.

Former Minneapolis Divine Talksat the First Baptist Church.

Rev. David J. Burrell, formerly of"Westminster church, this city, nowpastor of the Dutch Reformed church,of New York city, preached yesterday,morning and evening, at the First Bap-tist church to a congregation made upof members of Westminster and FirstBaptist churches. The evening ser-mon was on "Blessed is the manwhose sin is forgiven, whose transgres-sions are covered." The Christian re-ligion is the only philosophy whichoffers anything except to suffer forwrongs done. "As ye sow, so shall yealso reap," is the common doctrine.But Christianity teaches that faith inChrist will save us from our sins. Ifthere is any forgiveness it must be inChrist. The Greek philosopher wishedthat a window might be opened into thethoughts of men, that each might beable to see just what was passing with-in. None of us would care to have ourfellows know even our deeds, muchless our thoughts. We are all sinners.We all need the saving blood of Christto cleanse us from our sins.

In the opening prayer, Dr. Burrellasked the Lord to direct the minds ofthe American people from politicalheresies and from national dishonor.

Dismal Prospect which Mr. W. H.Dnnwoody Found In the

East.

W. H. Dunwoody, vice president ofthe Minneapolis Trust company, ac-companied by Mrs. Dunwoody, return-ed yesterday from a two months' tripin Europe, during which England,

!Scotland and France were visited.|Mr. Dunwoody reports a delightfulItime, most of which was spent InEng-:land and Scotland where the weather

was of a less degree of torridity than|in Minneapolis. Mr. Dunwoody was

asked how the English people regard-ed the financial situation in thiscountry. He replied that the Englishwere taking advantage of the unset-tled condition of finances in the country,especially in the purchase of breadstuffs. He says they have on hand to-day the lightest stock of bread stuffsper capita that has ever been known.That there is no more than a twoweeks' supply all told In the hands ofreceivers, jobbers and consumers.Many dealers are making larger salesfor future delivery without makingcorresponding purchases. The reasonof this is that the dealers believe thatwheat Is not to rise in price, and ifanything that It will be still lower.Mr. Dunwoody says: "I feel confidentthat wheat would be at least ten centsper bushel higher now ifit were not forour unsettled financial condition. Thepeople of England as a whole manifestgreat interest in our financial discus-sion. Many are selling American se-curities, and Investing the money ob-tained in South Africa, where the con-ditions are safer. Others are still hold-ing on, hoping that the situation willgrow more favorable later. The Eng-lish generally regard Mr. Bryan as ananarchist, and do not really believethat we will elect such a man as pres-ident of the United States. PersonallyIdo not believe there will be foundpeople enough to vote for Bryan to electhim. Ithink it will result in greatfinancial disaster ifit should happen."On the way home, Mr. Dunwoodystopped a couple of days In New Yorkcity, and one in Chicago. He was in-terested in getting money to be usedIn moving the large wheat crop that issoon to be threshed In Minnesota andthe Dakotas, but says that the Easternbankers are "afraid to let out theretheir money for this purpose, which isgoing to make the question of movingthe crops a difficult one to meet. Muchof this money heretofore has comefrom Canadian banks, but now thesebanks will not loan money without agold note, and "Western money menwill not dare take the risk of givinggold notes under the present conditions.Mr. Dunwoody thinks that previous toelection, only wheat enough will behandled to supply the daily demandfor food. He regards the finances ofthe government as a most important

auestion.

A CASE OF ABSTRACTION.

Prof. Rlnnton the Victim of a Min-neapolis Burglar.

Prof. Blanton, who has been deliver-ing lectures throughout the state, atthe invitation of the directors of thesummer schools, was the victim of aburglar yesterday morning. While inMinneapolis he has been visiting va-rious friends and during the latter partof last week was the guest of Dr. F. D.Barker, residing at 2021 Third avenuesouth. He retired rather late Saturdayevening and Sunday morning awoke tofind his watch, charm and all of hisready money gone. Investigationbrought the fact to light that duringthe night, the house had been burglar-ized. The uninvited visitor had en-tered the house through a kitchenwindow, and In going up the backstairs, had found Prof. Banton's roomfirst. He went no further, evidentlyhaving been frightened away.

The losses suffered were a goldwatch with Prof. Blanton' s monogramupon the back, chain and charm, and$35 in money. The watch and moneywere of no value to Mr. Blanton, be-yond their intrinsic worth, but thecharm was something which he valuedvery highly. It was given to him byfriends at Kirksville, Mo., where Prof.Blanton was formerly president of thestate normal school. It was a KnightTemplar's charm* and bore the inscrip-tion: "Presented to Prof. J. P. Blan-ton with the affection and admirationof his Kirksville friends. June 10,1892."

LYNCHED THREE ITALIANS.

Chances for Another InternationalComplication.

HAHNVILLE,La., Aug. 9.—Therewas a triple lynching in this town justbefore 12 o'clock last night and thismorning the bodies of three Italianmurderers were found swinging fromthe rafters of a shed near the courthouse. One of the men is Lorenzo Sa-ladlno, who so foully assassinatedJules Gueymard, at Freetown, lastTuesday night, and the other two wereDecino Sorcoro and Angelo Marcuso,who murdered an old Spaniard on theAshton plantation near Boutte stationsome time ago.

Ever since the murder of Gueymardthis parish has been in a fever heatof excitement over the affair and evenon the first night after the murder itwas with great difficulty that SheriffOry prevented the lynching of Saladl-no. He spirited him away in the woodsand kept him there over night andthen the next day took him to the newjail in Hahnville. In the meantimethe evidence grew against Saladino and

feeling correspondingly grew In inten-sity. About 11:30 o'clock last night themob which had concentrated on theoutskirts of the town began to moveon the jail. They captured the old ne-gro guard and by the vigorous use ofaxes, with which they were well sup-plied, soon demolished the jailand celldoors and took the prisoners out andexecuted them.

Lorenzo Saladino was charged withthe murder of Jules Gueymard, one ofthe prominent planters and merchantsof that section. The murder occurredon Tuesday night at Freetown, in St.Charles parish, just a short distancefrom the river bank.

The- crime for which the other twoItalians, besides Saladino, were hung,was the wanton and cowardly murderof an old Spaniard on the Ashton plan-tation near Boutte station. The incen-tive to the crime in this case was thatthe old Spaniard was their rival in thebusiness of gathering moss. They hadfrequently threatened his life.

A SMOKE ON INSTALLMENTS.

Unique Method of Enjoying theWeed

—The Appearance of theVoted Oriental.

LONDON, Aug. 9.—By special ap-pointment, a representative of the As-sociated Press was this morning ac-corded an interview with Li HungChang, England's guest of honor thismonth. The hour set for the interviewwas 3:30 in the morning, Indicatingthat the Chinese statesman is not givento late hours. Early as the hour wasthere were nevertheless several personsin waiting to see the emperor ofChina's envoy. The attendants were,however, instructed as to the prior ap-pointment and the reporter was se-lected from a great number of appli-cants on all possible errands andshown Into Li Hung Chang's privateparlor, which is the ground floor morn-ing room in Lord Lonsdale's mansionin Carlton House Terrace. A group ofservants stood before the door throughwhich the news man was conducted by

Viscount Li, the statesman's son, andwho acts as his Interpreter.

LiHung Chang rose and bowed withformal courtesy as his visitor enteredand then shook hands, after which hemotioned to a seat opposite his own.He was habi*ed in an undress cos-tume consisting of a plum-colored stuffskirt, a dark blue silk Jacket, and ablack satin cap with a crimson silkbutton in the center of the crown todesignate his status as a mandarin.In the front of the cap band was fixeda large pearl stud set with diamonds.A diamond ring also glittered on thelittle finger of his right hand. Hisshoes were of black satin trimmed withtwo lines of green silk and havingthick white felt soles.

As the distinguished foreigner tookhis seat following his guest's action,his attitude strikingly resembled thenumerous published portraits fromphotographs, so that he would havebeen readily recognized without infor-mation as to his identity.

During the course of the interview LImost of the time looked his interlocutorstraight in the face, his

PIERCING BROWN EYESsuggesting the penetrative power ofthe Roentgen rays. The complexion ofhis face is a dark bronze, relieved by athin, straggling mustache and Im-perial. While talking his face becomesanimated with an occasional smile fullof perception, accompanied by agesture.

He then relapsed into the impassive-ness of a bronze idol. His voice is lowin pitch, but of sonorous quality, andhe speaks with the strong inflections socharacteristic of the Chinese tongue.LiHung Chang has submitted to in-

terviews a number of times before hisarrival in England, and has seized thatrather formidable institution of West-ern civilization with a firm grasp todirect it rather than to be controlledby It. The method employed by theastute Oriental diplomat in his inter-views with newspaper men is to askand not to answer questions. The in-terviewer found himself besought forinformation as to the arrangements forthe coming transit of Li through theUnited States, before opportunity wasgiven to put a query.Li was very eager regarding the pro-

gramme for his tour of the UnitedStates, and the American arrange-ments. He asked if Philadelphia wasmuch out of the way of the railroadroute from New York to Washington.

At this point the Chinese dignitaryclapped his hands to call a servantin the Oriental fashion. The servant,clad in his native garb, entered andbowed low and retired and then re-turned with tea in a covered cup ofexquisitely frail and1

delicate porcelain.While this was partaken of by hiscaller, LiHung Chang asked about thespecial train on the Pennsylvania rail-road which is to be provided for himand whether it would carry him directto Vancouver without change. He wasInformed that probably it would.Li explained that Hon. John Rus-

sell Young had written to him askinghim to luncheon in Philadelphia, atwhich he promised that all ofLIHungChang's old friends should be present.LIfirst met Mr. Young when the latteraccompanied Gen. Grant on his tourarcund the world and afterwards whenhe became United States minister toChina under President Arthur. Liasked if Mr. Young held such a posi-tion among Americans as to lead themto follow his arrangements. Beingassured as to this, he asked cordiallyafter the health of Mr. Young and ofGen. James H. Wilson and Mr.Wharton Darker, whom he had seenin China,

The interviewer said that the great-est regret was felt among Americansthat LiHung Chang would be unableto see enough of the United States toobtain a knowledge of the countryeoually intimate wtth that obtained ofthe countries he has already seen.

Li Hung Chang in reply assertedthat he deeply regretted that it wasimperative that he should sail fromVancouver on Sept. 14, for which datepassage has been engaged for him onthe steamer Empress of China.

He was asked ifhe would like to eatsome of the American delicacies, suchas terrapin and canvasback duck,which were likely to be offered to himat American dinners.

The fame of the terrapin and can-vasback are believed to have pene-trated China through the extravagantfondness for those dishes of a formerChinese envoy at "Washington. Li re-plied to this query with an amusedsmile, saying:"Ishould be pleased to taste all such

dainties, but Icannqt promise to do soas my teeth are no longer good. Forthis reason Iprefer 1to confine my dietto Chinese meat."

Here Li Hung Chang called outsomething to the servant in the adjoin-ing room. The latter entered and tookfrom a sideboard a long silver pipe, thebowl of which resembled a spirit lamp.He blew through the stem, put a pinchof tobacco in it, lighted it witha taperand handed the stem to the Chinesepotentate's lips. Li fulled thrice withmuch apparent gratification, whichserved to exhaust the charge and theservant blew out **_«,ashes, refilled thebowl, re-llt Itand offered the stem tohis superior. This was repeated threetimes before LI had enough of thefumes to satisfy his taste.

Following his smoke, he asked as tothe facilities and the cost of shippingheavy baggage from New Tork to Van-couver.

Having' satisfied himself upon thispoint, the correspondent inquiredwhether Li desired to see the leadingsilverites and gold standard advocates,regarding the question of money dur-ing his visit to the United States.

Viscount L.I replied to this that hisfather was anxious to learn all that*vag possible about America, but thathis time was so short and that he had

bo much to do while he wai lo Wash-ing-ton that he hoped that those per-sons wishing to have lnrterviewß withhim would arrange for them with theChinese minister at Washington.

Here another caller was shown intothe private parlor and LiHung Changarose with bows and a handshake In-dicating- that the interview was at anend.

of Blacks.MONROE, La., Aug. 9.—Letters received in

this city tell harrowing tales of suffering ex-perienced by a colony of Louisiana negroes inGuatemala, who were induced to go there lastMay to work on railroads. The letters saythat four of their- number have been killedand that those still alive are in a cori'tionworse than slavery, and they are anxious toreturn to their Louisiana homes. Last Maya number of young negro men in this vicin-ity and at Jacksonville, contracted withagents to go to Central America to work onrailroads. Flattering inducements were heldout to them. They were promised high wages,easy work and splendid treatment. The let-ters some of them have written home indicatethat they were badly deceived. Henry Wind,of Jacksonville, received a letter from.hisbrother yesterday, dated at Panzos, July 27,containing information that James Shaw,Willie Bradley, a boy named Sam, and an-other, whose name the writer did not know,had been killed near Panzos while attempt-ing to escape.

ALL KISSING GOES BY FAVOR.

Judge Says to Kiss Another Man'sWife Is Not Illegal.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—

James Smith, ofUnion Hill, N. J., returned home one after-noon earner than was his wont and discov-ered William Walker kissing Mrs. Smithmost uproariously. He started to alter thecountenance of the defendant, Walker, but,being the smaller of the two, he changedhis mind and had the defendant, Walker, ar-rested on the charge of improper conduct.The warrant was issued by Justice Hamilton,of Union Hill, and the papers in the case weresent to Judge Hudßpeth, In the Hudson countycourt of general sessions.Itls not unlawful, it is reported the judgesaid, In substance, for a man to kiss an-

other man's wife, provided sh<fis sufficientlycomely and does not object thereto. If,how-ever, she should interpose any serious de-murrer thereto and should, with anger, boxhim in the ears, It would be well for thatman that he had never been born. Kissingis not disorderly, and occasionally is highlycommendable.

Here the judge stopped for a moment to In-quire if the lady had interposed any ob-jection.

"No," said the fair Roxanna, "but we'resorry that Smith came home se soon."Whereupon the magistrate discharged theprisoner.

Itis expected at the offices of the American TinPlate company here that the mills willbe op-erated with new men within a week or two.

Doer Saves Its Master.Chicago Record.

The quickness of his dog prevented Dan-iel Fritz, a truck farmer, from being killedby an enraged bull which charged him whilehe was crossing the lot in which it waspastured. Fritz was caught on the sharphorns of the animal and thrown twenty feet,breaking his arm and bruising him seriously.Before he could regain his feet the bullcharged again, but his dog interfered, andby barking and snapping at its heels drewthe bull's wrath upon It, and was gored andtorn out of all shape. The time occupied bythe killingof the dog enabled Fritz to crawlthrough a fence and escape to his home,where medical aid wa» summoned.

Patch Boxes.Art Amateur.

Boxes for patches or "mouehes" came intogeneral use late in the seventeenth century,after the patches themselves had long beenworn. Many of these boxes are as pretty asthe bonbonnleres. They were often given aswedding presents, and were of a great varietyof shapes, some of them taking the form of alittle roll of louis dor. Among the gifts sentfrom the French king to the queen of Spainin 1714 were three patch boxes, worth $208.Two of the lacqusr, belonging to the dau-phlne, were valued at *4,700. Mme. de Pom-padour's was in the form of a swan, In whiteenamel, and cost her, or the king, |118. Boxesfor the toilet have long been made of preciousmaterials and in artistic forma.

REACTION SETS lflINVESTORS SHOW LESS DISTRUST

OF AMERICAN STOCKS ANDSECURITIES.

THE CESSATION OF ALARM

AFFECTS NOT ONLY THE WALL,

STREET OPERATORS BUT LON-DON CAPITALISTS.

HENRY CLEWS' WEEKLY REVIEW.

Stagnation in Wall Street the Le-gitimate Result of the Outing

Season.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10,-In his week-ly review of the financial conditionsin Wall street Henry Clews says:

The condition of affairs in Wall stren re-mains more or less stagnant. Public Im-provements have reached a stage of develop-ment which scarcely admits of anything tuta large abstention from operations. The (in-vention phase of the political excitement haspassed its culmination. The „*<_«_ are madeup and the candidates are choaea. The firstshock of the Chicago convention and Popu-listic platforms and nominees has had

[ its more acute effects, in which thosefactors have been discounted at their

I worst. The time for surprises isj therefore about past, and attention is:now fixed upon the developments of theIante-election canvass and the probabilities cfthe November vote. This .'s not exactly cstage for alarms, but for obser/a'.ion and de-liberation; and most people a-.? disposed io

Ipostpone operations for the present at least.So far as respects Investments, holders

have already submitted to li'iivy losses "un-der the recent decline in pri-jes. tt is gu.telikely that they may rag-trd the presentshrinkage as commensurate with any ad-verse circumstances that have happened orare reasonably likely to happen; r.r.d for th-ttreason, In the absence of row threateningfactors, there seems to be a f.ilr probabilitythat, as a rule, investors will hold on Iotheir stocks with some tenacity from nowuntil November, when important _:.xtttrsnow in suspense will become accomplishedcertainties. In the meantime. Wall street isdisposed to a reaction from i's mood of con-tinuous excitement. The growing stagnancy:affords an opportunity for operators to takeirecreation; and the arena of financial and

political discussion is transferred fvera thestock exchange to the corridors of the ruralhostelrles. All this is conducive to quiet.A few timid holders of securities are Etlllselling in moderate amounts, which easilyaffects prices unfavorably; but tne cessationof alarms Is likely to bring forward otherswho see in such realizings a f^voraole el.f.ncefor buying back stock which ihey h.)d soldat considerably hig-her prices.

As to the influences outside of politics, theyhave passed into a distinctly more favorablecondition. The London market for our se-curities has been much steadier under thefrights that have affected our market thanmight have been expected— showing that for-eign investors find reasons for confidencewhich have been less appreciated at home.The transfers of gold to the treasury by the

ibanks, and the wise arrangements of theforeign bankers for warding off exports ofgold have placed the treasury In a positionof safety against drains of gold, for sometime to come; and although these amelio-rations are to some extent temporary, yetthey ward off causes of disturbance for aperiod, long enough to admit of a return ofcalm and of making arrangements that willprotect the future. The suspension of goldexports thus effected, will also have the re-sult of checking the tendency towardsstringency in time loans, and will enable thebanks the more freely to accommodate thedemand for currency Incident to the fallcrop

j movement. Another wholesome factor is thehalt in the Southern railroad war, with theprobability that the intervention of the courtmay result Ina satisfactory settlement of thedestructive hostilities between the companiesconcerned.

POOR WEEK IN STOCKS.

London Market Was DecidedlyBearish All Around.

LONDON, Aug. 9.—The Chicago failure ofMoore Bros, and the troubles in EasternEurope combined to make the past week onthe stock exchange one of the most depressedin a long period. With the exception ofcolonial and corporation stocks not likely tobe affected by political disturbances, almostevery description of stocks was lower. Mineswere depressed. Foreign securities were flaton apprehension of a new policy by Russiatowards Turkey. Spaniards were exception-ally weak, owing to the difficulties connectedwith the finding of money for tha Cubancampaign. The disappointment over thedividend not being larger caused a fall offorty points in Guinness Stout. Canadianswere flat in sympathy with Americana. Thewholesale selling of American securities, bothbonda and shares, caused the week's declinesto range from three to seven points. Chi-cago Milwaukee & St. Paul fell 7""., Louis-ville & Nashville 6, Illinois Central 5V_. Den-ver & Rio Grande preferred 4%, Lake Shore4, Erie Mortgage and Reading firsts 3, Atchi-son, Topeka & Santa Fe, New York Central,Northern Pacific and Wabash 2.

Not One of His.Forum.

Once Yon Moltke undertook an officialjourney to the court of one of the smallerGerman states. His reception there was mosthearty and cordial, and it was in high thatthe general took leave of his princely enter-tainers after dinner. As he went down thestaircase he suddenly paused and said to oneof his aides-de-oamp, "Really, how very for-getful Iam! Iought to have worn thaprince's order today," to which the officeraddressed replied: "Ishould have taken thaliberty of drawing your excellency's atten-tion to the fact, but Ithas not yet been con.ferred on you, and so you are not entitledto wear it." Thereupon Moltke looked alhim gratefully, and said, highly pleased,"Really, really! Iam glad to hear you saybo. Iwas afraid Ihad been guilty of ah im-politeness."

"Oo kees oor typewritalre? Eetees strange,ze Amerlque. Ze sentlmong ees so grant!Even ze Francaise nevaire! He kees ees vio-leen for ze moosaic, and ze harp, and zechello, but nevaire ees typewrltaire. for zemachine eet has no heart, no zoul, but onlyze diable!"

He was lately landed from Paree, and wasgetting a smattering of the language. Heheard that a friend kissed his typewriter, and,like a Frenchman, supposed that the oscula-tion was between him and his machine. Wehad a hard job convincing him that the type-writer was a pretty girl.

Therefore, why not typewriter and type-writist to avoid similar blunders?
