This opinion is fast crystalling in this
country that the reason so many fools
jump from the Brooklyn bridge is not
because it is the best jumping place, but
because there are more fools there than
elsewhere.
The theory that John i,. Sullivan
should be made president of a famous
belting company, is evidently founded
on some misapprehension of the word
"belting,” in the name of the well known
corporation.
The first crank who jumps from the
top of Liberty Enlightening the World
will have a star engagement in all the
dime museums. Brooklyn bridge jumpers
and Niagra Palls barrel idiots have be
come too common.
The Atlanta Constitution says : “Edi
tor Watterson met with the longest, star
eyed goddess in Prance.” After the ex
tended stid-hunt thal Henri has been
conducting in this country, the meeting
in France must have verged on disor
derly in its hilarity.
Now let the business of giving Bedloe's
island a new name be proceeded with.
The duty belongs to the government., for
the title to the island is vested in the
1'nited Slates. “Liberty island” is com
monplace, but, perhaps, best for that
reason. It describes the use of the
island admirably.
Eleven Louisville preachers are said
to be writing books. Now, if Chevalier
Watterson can induce the preachers to
follow his example and keep the books
out of print we may be able to forgive
the chaste Kentuckian for many ot his
vagaries. Henry, old chappie, here’s a
chance to embrace the star-eyed goddess
whom you have been so long hustling
after.
Mr. Mai* kick Bernhardt, son of Surah
Bernnardt, has successfully defended his
mother’s reputation, according to the
code, by fighting a duel with M. Langlois,
who exhibited a painting ridiculing her.
Maurice has a big contract on hand. He
has no father to speak of, and his thin
mother makes money by being talked
about. Her reputation is what she. has
made it and desired it should be through
eccentric action.
U. II. II.VYEK IN ATLANTA.
When the National Prison Association
met in Atlanta on Saturday its president,
Butherford B. Haves, made a speech.
It must make Mr. Hayes feel rattier
queer to lie the lawful president of any
thing, as lie certainly is of the prison as
sociation. A man who posed four years
as a president, when lie was no president
ut all, cannot he much at home in a
chair to which lie is really entitled.
And it must make a man feel squeamish
at times to preside overall association for
the amelioration of the condition of
prisoners when he remembers that above
all other men in the country he himself
deserves to be behind the bars. But,
then, there is one crumb of comfort that
Mr. Hayes can take to himself. The as
sociation is meeting in a state whose
electoral vote he did not steal, because
he did not have a chance. Still, he didn’t
steal it.
We bespeak for Mr. Hayes a kind con
sideration from the people of Atlanta.
Ho is a criminal, it is true, but perhaps
he is one who lias repented and is trying
to do better. At least, he is keeping re
spectable company now—a thing he lias
not always done.
But whatever Mr. Hayes may do or in
tend to do, his children owe it to them
selves and to their children to have their
n&mes changed in order to escape the
Itll. TALKAHE'N KNK1T.
While the National Convention of
American Locomotive Engineers was
holding its rccentnnnual mooting in New
York city, a special sermon was preached
to them at, too Brooklyn Tabernacle by
the Rev. Dr. Talmage. The sermon, as
reported, was practical, pathetic and
beautiful, and it contained n it a thought
except those calculated to make men hot
ter. Railway engineers are said to lie
wicked men ns a rule, and the dangerous
life they lead certainly tends to make
them nervy and reckless. And yet that
vast audience, composed almost
entirely of engineers, wept
like children under the sound of the gos
pel as it fell from the great preacher's
lips. The press has always been the
friend of Dr. Talmage. He made his
fume and the press spread it abroad. He
produces his sermons week after week
and the daily and weekly papers waft
them, like snow flakes, over continent
and island and kingdom and country,
until to-duy he preaches directly and in
directly, that is by voice and by print,
to more people than any man that ever
lived in any age or country. Dr.
Talmage is a wonderful man.
Among the many pulpit prod
igies that have been born to protest-
Aintism in a century there hath not arisen
a greater than T. DeWitt Talmage. He
has the energy of an engine, the purity
of a John, and the goddess of persuasion
has her home upon his lips. Men who
stand near a great cathedral or a colossal
monument cannot conceive gr grasp its
grandeur and immense proportions. We
stand too near Talmage. He is of us and
among us; but the historians of the
next century will write him down
among the great pulpit orators of
the ages. At any rate, America
has scarcely seen his like since
the days of the awful and anomalous
orator Whitfield, whose lute-like voice
wooed sinners into listening, while his
reasoning of righteousness, temperance,
and judgment to come, frightened them
into repentance.
As the scriptures tell us that when the
sons of men are gathered together satan
is in their midst, so on that beautiful
Sabbath morning in Brooklyn, while u
thousand knights of the engine's throttle
gathered reverently in the great sanctu
ary to hear the gospel preached,
there was one — a reporter — who
came to scolf. This man
represented the New Yoik Commercial
Advertiser, but in the face of that fact
we venture the assertion that the Police
Nows would not print his description of
Talmage’s sermon as an advertisement.
This man and this paper can do Talmage
no harm. His character is established.
God has blessed him with the enmity of
vile men during his whole career, and he
has thrived in it like the fabled salaman
der in the fire. If the Commercial Ad
vertiser wants something to caricature
and ridicule, heaven knows New York is
chocked with subjects and monstrosi
ties and moral freaks, chi of among which
may he mentioned the Commercial Ad
vertiser i'self, a paper whose sense of
propriety is so obtuse, and whose igno
rance of decency is so intense that it seeks
out the sanctuary of the living God asa
subject and an object of ridicule. Of a
truth, fools rush in where ungels fear to
tread. The editor of a paper who can
smut his columns with such blasphemy,
and lay open his pages for such a desecra
tion of holy tilings may bo bright and
deep and learned, lmt his heart is u euge
of unclean birds, and his moral nature is
a howling wilderness, leafless, sapless,
tiro-fretted and dry.
Theroarc already chronicled the golden
age, the iron age, and the dark ages; hut
ours, with.all its vaunted progress, bids
fair to be known in coining times us the
“irreverent age.” Whether this is at
tributable to positive, infidelity, unset
tled belief, fast living or what else, it is
not our province now to discuss. But
whatever the cause be, the effect and the
fact remains that there are an alarming
number of men in all the professions who
are modern counterparts of the ur-
just judge in Scripture who neith
er “feared God nor regarded man.”
One man now living in New York bus
literally grown rich and made a national
reputation besides in traversing the
country and telling people ut a dollar
a head what frauds God and the Chris
tian religion are. If this creature has
any mission on earth it is to exemplify
the long-suffering nature of his Creator
whose own breath lie is using to abuse
Him.
While they are far too numerous, still
such men as Ingersoll and the editor of
the Commercial Advertiser,arc us rare
on the face of the earth us mountains.
The great musses, and most of the great
minds of this generatiou have chosen
Mary’s better part and still sit at the feet
of the Nazarene to learn the lessons of
life. Newspapers which hope to thrive
by pondering to that depravity whicli
calls for contumely upon the Christian
religion, would do well to remember that
Tom Paine’s printing press, which he
used in publishing his attack upon t'liris-
.tianity, and which he declared would
drive the Bible from oit' the face of the
earth, was, by a strange sarcasm of fate,
literally worn out in printing Bibles.
Surely, “the wrath of man shall praise
Him and the remainder ofwrath will He
restrain.”
There was a time when it was popular
to ridicule ministers and religion. But
that was before science had demonstrated
murcial-Advertiser chooses to call Mr.
Talmage a“mountebank”and u“spectacu-
lar performer” signifies nothing now,
unless it signifies that the editor of that
paper desires to pose as another Ingersoll,
and to present to the country, aR Inger
soll does, the spectacle of an intellectual
man wallowing in his own mire,
like an unclean cub of the wilder
ness. The Commercial-Advertiser
has seen fit to class itself among the
great New York dailies. But its attack
on Mr. Talmage would never have been
I noticed in these columns bad we not
: deemed it one of those occasions in
, which the insignificance of the licenser is
| lost in the magnitude of the accusation.
j Town Topics is authority for the report
that Madame Nilsson Inis broken her
marriage engagement to Count Miranda
on account of his gambling proclivities.
She will doubtless leconsidi r the mutter
when she realizes the fact that it is neces
sary for a prinm donna to have a worth
less husband. Sjic bus already had one,
and Patti has two of them.
Spuhuros, in a recent prayer, said: “0
Lord, shut the mouths of the blasphem
ous, especially those pretending to be
preachers of the gospel, and who are yet
blasphemers. Turn their hearts that
they may know Thy rruth and be able
to preach in favor of it.” This is inter
preted as an allusion to Mr.'Beechcr,
whose views concerning the doctrine of
eternal punishment are not relished by
the conservative orthodox. Spurgeon
might as well have prayed for the shut
ting of the ears of hearers who run after
sush preachers. There are always two
sides to questions of that character.

CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR RAKING POWDER,
now being introduced in this locality, has been before the
public fifteen years, and wherever introduced during that time
has, on account of its purity and great merit, superseded very
largely all other similar preparations for producing delicious,
light and healthful bread material. Hence the great anxiety
and fear evidenced by manufacturers of other baking powders
when they learn that CLEVELAND’S BAKING- POWDER
is working its way into a new locality.
The manufacturers of CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR
BAKING POWDER, recognizing the fact that the public
have a right to know what they are UBing as food, have fo>
many years published their formula, which has been confirmed
by analyses made by the Government chemists, State chemists
and leading scientists of various States, showing that their
Baking Powder contains only purest grape cream of tartar,
bicarbonate of soda and a little wheat flour, the latter to
preserve the strength of the powder, and that it does not
contain ammonia, alum, lime, or any adulteration whatever.
The public thus has not only the assurance that
CLEVELAND'S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER is
“ absolutely pure,” but also a knowledge of all the ingredients
that enter into its manufacture. This latter information is too
often withheld by other baking powder companies.
The scurrilous advertisements of rival manufacturers will
not deter the citizens of thiB city from giving an article
so flatteringly recommended as CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR
BAKING POWDER the trial which its merits so justly
deserve. CLEVELAND BROTHERS,
