Partici- pated in the Exercises. SOME ELOQUENT ADDRESSES The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage was for- mally and solemnly installed last night as co-pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, adding to the pastorate of that church a third member. The ceremony of installation was performed according to the discipline of the Presbyterian Church, and under the order of* the Washington presbytery. A large congregation gathered to witness the installation and the church was crowded with visitors, attracted by the fame of the great pulpit orator. It was necessary to invoke the aid of a detail of officers to handle the crowd, but under their judicious management and through the activity of the ushers, there was no confusion nor delay, and at the hour of 7:30, the time set for the ceremonies to commence, the church was filled, every cne being accommodated with a seat. The Rev. Adolos Allen, moderator of this presbytery, presided, and was assisted by Rev. Wallace Radcliffe, Rey. B. F. Bittinger, Rey. David Gregg of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Chureh, Brooklyn, Rev. W. C. Alexander, Rev. Dr. Thomas Chalmers Easton and Rey. Byron Sunderland, Installation Sermon. The Rey. Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin of the Church of the Covenant conducted the devo- tional exercises, which were supplemented by the rendition of appropriate music from the choir, consisting of Gabriel F. Johnston, baritone and director; Mrs. W. L. Wilson, soprano; H. O. Simons, tenor; Miss Emma Brock, contralto; Frank E. Ward, organist, assisted by Mrs. W. E. Parson, soprano; Mr. A. J. Marsh, tenor; Mrs. Hawkins Tay- lor, contralto; Mr. W. W. Rich, basso. The moderator introduced to the congrega- tion the Rey. Dr. David Gregg, who, as Mr. Talmage’s nearest ecclesiastical ne‘ghbor in Brooklyn, was to deliver the installation mon. He took his text from I Timoth: iv:6: “A Good Minister of Jesus Christ His theme divided itself into two parts: “The future minister; shall he be? and what shall he be?” After vindicating his right to handle this theme outside of a theological discussion, and explainit.g the necessity for ministers and the causes that bring him into exis- tence, Dr. Gregg said: “What shall the future minister be? In the first place he will be a man called of God. His call from God will conclusively appear to him in this, viz: His inability to choose any other pursuit. The ministerial life with him will not be a question of ease, or of money, or of social advancement, of personal popularity. He will preach for the reason that Jeremiah continued in the prophetic office. Time and again Jeremiah resolved upon quitting the office. He said to himself, ‘I will not speak any more in God's name.’ But what came from this resolution? Let Jeremiah himself respond: “When I spake thus, God’s word was in mine heart as a burning fire, and I was weary with my forbearing.’ “The future minister will be a man who appreciates the faithful ministry of the past, and yet he will be a man of the cen- tury in which he lives. The minister who underestimates the past of the -pulpit is laying the foundation for his own underes- timation. He inculcates and exemplifies a wrong spirit—a spirit which will spread and tell against the ministry of the future. The fact is that we are where we are to- day because the men of the past fought our battles for us. For example, they fought for us the battle connected with the doctrine of the deity of Christ. They over- came all the difliculties in the way of a firm and grounded belief in it. They es- tablished it as a glorious fact, and se- ich a wide acceptance that ‘e born we were born in an atmosphere saturated with a belief in { Christ's deity. “While the future minister will honor the janinistry of the past, he will not forget the age in which he lives. theological fossil. He will not be a He will not be afraid of progress. He will not treat the command of God, ‘Speak to the children of Israel that they go forward,’ asa dead letter. It is rot a dead letter. He will not be a par- ret. He will use all lawful criticism as a method of reaching knowledge. He will not surrender his right to think for himself, and speak for himself. His creed will not be a dead creed, but the power of a living faith. He will recognize the spirit of the age, and let it help him in formulating the old truth of God; for the truth is as old as Ged is. He will keep his ear and brain and heart and Ife open to the latest and fresh- est revelation. “He will use the things of his age, its poetry, its science, its history, its litera- ture, its art, its progress, its nineteenth century discoveries and its twentieth cen- tury hopes and ambitions. He will use trese as the Hebrews used the gold and jewels of the Egyptians in the building of their bevutiful tabernacles. He will use them in adorn'ng the truth, and in adding luster and power and freshness and inter- est to the gospel. What Dr. Talmage In. After delineating several other character- istics of the future preacher, Dr. Gregg de- clared that just such a man ts Dr. Talmage. “AlthoughDr.Talmage has been long before the public, he 1s still a man of the future, and brings to you the leading character- istics of ‘The minister of the future.’ It ems to me that no church in America 1s grandly equipped as this church. With Dr. Sunderland, whom all America loves, whose twilight eclipses the zenith of other men's noon, whose spotless character is the glory of the American ministry; and with Dr. Talmage, whom all the world wants to hear, what church in the capital, or on the continent, has before it a brighter future? Lrethren, you have taken from my city its leading Nght; bit you have given that light & more central and commanding place, and this is @rooklyn’s only consolation.’ You voice in the Ame an pulpit. There is only one Dr. Talmage. There Is more or less ‘Talmage in every minister, but he fs all Talmage. He lives among his countrymen vrique.

As I have seen Dr. Talmage from the pew, I wish to say that I consider him the sreatest word painter on any continent of earth. He paints for Jesus Christ. He thinks In pictures; and ho thinks in pi ly. paints with a large brush, and with gelors that burn and glow, and nations gathe® around his pic- -3 and feel an up-lift and a holy thrill. There is one thing which Dr. Talmage is able to use beyond any man I have ever heard speak, and that {is the rhetorical R e now got the one man of commanding | | blanket merti pause. He makes his sermons vivid and im- pressive with the flash of a golden silence. Having rounded his period and finished his point, he stops until the hush of heaven fille the house, and until his audience has felt the nearness of the God of truth, and has heard the still, small voice of His spirit.” . Charge to the Co-Pastor. At the conclusion of Dr. Gregg’s sermon the moderator asked the constitutional questions of Dr. Talmage and the congre- gation, after which he formally declared Dr. Talmage to be installed as co-pastor. ‘The charge to the co-pastor was then de- livered by Rey. Wallace Radcliffe. “We welcome you, Dr. Talmage,’, said Dr. Rad- cliffe, ‘‘to this beautiful city. We welcome you to this presbytery of faithful, loyal, genial and earnest working brethren, to whom have been committed the interests of our beloved church. We welcome you to this church, whose life is almost co- terminal with the life of the nation’s capi- tal. We welcome you to this pulpit, which so proudly boasts of a long and unbroken line of coysecrated services, and whose voice has ever been persuasive and com- manding in the interests of national right- eousness and patriotic duty, of personal faith and sacred truth. We congratulate you upon the unanimity and cordiality with which you have been summoned as co-pastor here, upon the opportunities given to crown a career of such distinction with still greater achievements of faithful serv- ice. We congratulate you upon your acces- sion to this pastorate, and your coming, makirg it a unique trinity of pastorates. There will be constant uplifting of each other's hands and a certain assurance of victasy.”” Dr. Radcliffe compared Dr. Talmage’s positicn to a vine with three branches, corresponding to, pastor, preacher and pres- byter. He said that the three pastors of the First Presbyterian Church could now be ¢ompared to Aaron and Hur upholding the hands of Moses. “But which is Moses and which is Hur and whieh is Aaron, said Dr. Radcliffe, with a bland smile. “I will not undertake to say.” He charged Dr. Talmage to preach the gospel accord- ing to Presbyterianism, “‘blue Presbyterian- He compared the churches of the land to a rainbow of God’s grace arching es earth. “In that rainbow our color is ue.” “Charge to the People. The charge to the people was delivered by the Rev. B. F. Bittinger, who prefaced ls remarks by appropriate reference to Co-pastor Allen and to Dr. Sunderland. He charged the congregation that there should be comfort, assistance, attention and spirit- ual worth manifested as the result of the three pastors’ efforts. He spoke of the pastors’ relations, and said there should be no danger or thought of anything but the utmest harmony. There could not be with such men, and all equally responsible, equally worthy of building the people up in fxith and obedience to the word of God. The congregation shovld also seek to bring others under the saving power of the Gos- pel. If all conditions were fulfilled there was a brilliant future for the church and presbytery, and a tidal wave of influence would extend to every part of the parish. Benediction by Dr. Talmage. Rev. Dr. Easton then delivered the closing prayer—an eloquent invocation. The bene- diction was pronounced by Rev. Dr. Tul- mage, and after the services the congre- gation ard visitors came forward and shook hands with the new co-pastor. Dr. Talmage will preach his first sermon next Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock. PASSED THE LIE. An Exciting Incident of the South Carolina Convention. The South Carolina constitutional conven- tlon was enlivened by a hot war of words be- tween Senator Tillman and Mr. Frank E. Gary, a delegate from Abbeville, during which the He was passed, and it was ex- pected that the two men would come to blows immediately after adjournment, which took place at midnight. Senator Tillman is a §rm advocate of forming new counties, while Mr. Gary 1s not. Senator Tillman had been taunting Mr. Gary with forming unholy alliances po- litically to defeat new counties, though he never said exactly what they were. Last night Mr. Gary said it il became B. R. Tillman to taunt any one with forming such alliances. He himself had entered into a secret combination to rush three new coun- tles through the convention, and it came with poor grace from a man like him io be throwing such things into the faces of other members. Senator Tiilman got very much excited and resented the imputation against his honor and honesty. He said he did not want to have a personal difficulty with the zentle- man or to break friendly relations, but he couldn't sit quietly by when such an un- truth was uttered. Mr. Gary replied that parliamentary usages and the respect he had for the con- vention prevented him from resenting then the words used by Senator Tillman, but he would hold hm personally responsible outside. Mr. Gary was very angry, and he is a men of great courage and meant what he said. The convention was in an intense state of excitement. Senator Tillman made no reply, but sat quietly in his seat, though it could be seen that he was much wrought up. Before ad- journment friends began to try to settle the matter and avoid a difficulty, which t succeeded in doing. After the convention both gentlemen met and mutual explina- tions were made. Mr. Gary misinterpreted some remarks Tillman made Tuesday, and that led him to call the Senator to task with the wordy war as the outcome. Mr. Gary is a cousin of Governor Evans, who was quite active tn bringing about a reconcilia- ion. ——-s00. MR. CLEVELAND'S OVATION. The President's Hand Shaken by Thousands at Atlanta. The President was greeted by an ova- tion which lasted for several minutes at the Atlanta exposition grounds yesterday. Hats were thrown into the air and bound- less enthusiasm was manifested. His speech, though short, consumed con- siderable time in delivery because of the frequent interruptions of applause. At its conclusion Mr. Cleveland held an informal reception. A line was formed along the front of the stand and a squad of police kept it open. President Cleveland took a position on one of the steps and began shaking hands with the people who pressed up to him. For five minutes he grasped the hands of the great American citizens at the rate of one hundred and three per minute. Then the number per minute gradually lowered until he was shaking hands at the rate of one every second. In fifteen min- utes the President's face was covered with perspiration, and he was evidently tiring. For thirty-three minutes he continued to shake hands with the throng and to sp2ak a pleasant word to many. He finally said that he was fatigued, «nd the line was closed. The carriages for the party were driven to the stand, and all were taken to the Piedmont Club, where a cold luncheon with champagne was served to the company of three hundred people. After luncheon the President began a tour of the grounds, visiting the government building, the main building, the negro building and inspected the exposition throughout. The series of courtesies extended to the presidential party was concluded last night with a reception at the Capital City Club, which put itself on record as the most clab- orate social function ever undertaken in the south. The chief executive reached the clu accompanied by the cabinet and the ladies of the cabinet, between 9 and 10 o'clock, and spent an hour or more receiving the fifteen hundred people present. Major Livingston Mims, president of the club, did the honors of the oceasion. After the recepti the President and his party boarded thi cial train and left for Washington. Street Railway Consolidation, A dispatch from Los Angeles states that the supreme court has affirmed the valid- ity of the $17,500,000 bond issue of the Market Street Railway Company. In Oc- tober, 1898, eleven street railway corpora- tions, operating nearly every street car line in San Francisco, were consolidated as the Market Street Railway Company. To re- fund indebtedness and get money for con- struction purp the directors made a ge on all the property of the combine for $17,:.0,000. The manner in which the bonds were issued was at- tacked, but this decision sustains the ac- tion of the company. ———__+e+ Curing the absence of Dr. Feter M.

Instruction in Military Law Should Be Given at.'the Academy. THE OBSERVATORY LANDS In his annual report to the Secretary of the Navy Judge Advocate General Lemly says that a naval board is now preparing a draft of maximum punishments that may be Imposed by court-martial in cases where the punishment fs left to their. discretion. He strongly urges that the law be amended so as to permit the use of depositions be- fcre naval courts, as is the case in the army; that the examination of officers for retirement be confined to one board, in- stead of being divided between two, as at present; that surgeons and engineers be examined for promotion, as in the case of line officers, and that courts-martial be em- powered to enforce the giving of testimony in tria!s by civilian witnesses. He also sug- gests the adoption of the British admiralty practice in a form that will permit the gov- errment to acquire the use of any device patented by a naval officer upon terms to be fixed by the Secretary of the Navy. Chilean Indemnity Fund. At the date of his last annual report the whole amount of the fund, $75,000, placed in the hands of the Secretary of the Navy by the government of Chile to be paid to sea- men of the United States ship Baltimore had been distributed, with the exception of the sums of $1,000, to be paid to Joseph Quigley, azd $300, to be paid to William H. Nichols, these amourits having been with- held by the department because the two nen named had deserted from the naval service. Joseph Quigley having surrendered himself at the navy yard, Mare Island, Cal., and having been tried and punished by im- prisonment for th2 offense of desertion, was, at the expiration of such imprison- ment, paid the sum of $1,000 due him as his proportionate share of the indemnity fund. Nothing further has been done in the case of William H. Nichols, who is still a de- eter at large, and his share of the fund, amounting to $300, is all that now remains. Instruction in Military Law. Attention is invited to the fact that the course of study prescribed at the Naval Academy docs not include instruction in military law. Immediately upon being graduated from the Naval Academy an officer may be called upon at any time to perform the duty of recorder of a sum- mary court-martial, and early in their career all officers of the navy are subject to service as members or judge advocates of general courts. Capt. Lemly says they ought not to be required to enter upon these cuties, which are important to individuals and to the service at large, without pre- liminary training. He suggests that a brief curse in military law be added to the cur- riculum at the Naval Academy, in order that young officers may-be acquainted with their duties in this respect. The judge advocate general makes the following report of ‘the failure to sell the gevernment lands near the naval observa- tory: Naval Observatory Lunds. “By the jeint resolution to establish an observatory circle as a provision for guard- ing the delicate astronomical instruments at the United States naval observatory against smoke or currents of heated air in their re ghborhood and undue vibrations ficm traffic upon the extension of public thoroughfares in the vicinity, and for other purposes, approved August 1, 1804, it was provided that no street, avenue or public thoroughfare in the neighborhood of the buidings erecied upon the United States naval ob ervatory grounds, Georgetown Heigats, D strict of Columbia, shall extend within the area of a circle described with a radius of 1,000 feet from the center of the clock room at the observatory. The resolution further authorized the Secretary of the Navy ‘to grant the right of way for the extens on of Massachusetts avenue through the limits of the observatory grounds, exterior to said circle;’ to sell certain portions of the observatory lands ly.ng without the limits of the circle, and to purchase, either directiy or by condem- nation, certain lands belonging to private 3 lying within the limits of the circle, plished by the resolution. “In pursuance of the provisions of this resolution, the department, under date of Ceiober 22, 18M, granted the right of way fer the exter.sion of Massachusetts avenue through the observatory grounds. In fur- ther compliance with the requirements of the act, a board of three appraisers, con- ssiing of Mr. John W. Ross, president of the board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia; Capt. F. V. McNair, United S atcs navy, and Mr, Thomas FE.’ Wagga- man, was appointed to determine and fix the price at which the two tracts of land belonging to the government and lying out- side the limits of the circle should be sold; and in order that full opportunity to pur- chase sa'd lands might be afforded, it was determined to subdivide the larger tract into lots of convenient size, and to offer them for sale, after public advertisement, purchasers being allowed, at their option, to bid upon any one or more of the sub- divisions, or upon the tracts in entirety. One of the tracts to be sold, containing 14.45 acres, situated north and east of the o'servatory circle, was appraised at $141,- ry or a fraction less than 2214 cents per sq are fvot. The other tract, fronting upon Mes-ahusetts avenue and abutting upon observatory circle on the west, containing 1.218 acres, was appraised at $18,569.63. Under provisions contained in the joint resolution, these lands could not be sold at less than the appraised price. Whether because the appraisement was deemed by intending purchasers to be too high, or be- cause the past year was an unfavorable one in which to effect a sale of suburban real estate in Washington, no offers to purchase the tracts in question at or above the appraised price were received. The sale was, therefore, not consummated, and inasmueh as it was provided In the joint resolution that the purchase of the land necessary to complete the government's ownership of the observatory circle was to be made from the proceeds of tlfe proposed sal, such purchase was, of course, not ef- fected. “It betng contemplated by the joint reso- Ict'on that the preliminary expenses nec- cssarily to be Incurred tn advertising, etc., should also be defrayed from the proceeds of the sale, and no other provisions having been made therefor, guch, expenses re- main unpaid, and an estimate covering the amounts will be submitted to Congress at its approaching session,” 4 A Kipling Story.

It is most fitting that, as this is a city of the country, ing the Union should havea permanent: exhibition located here, showing their sev- eral resources as to agriculture, commerce, manufacttring, transportation, mining, etc. It would also give all an opportunity of exhibiting to their sister states and the world their individual as well as national history since the discovery of America. This exposition, if held here at the na- tion’s capital, would also tend to bind the nations of the western hemisphere in a closer commercial, protective and political union. _ Added to the national government exhibit and the individual state exhibits, there should be exhibits of the nations of North, Central and South America. I have no doubt but that the nations of Europe, Asia and Africa would seize the opportunity to advance their several interests by making a creditable display. I would suggest an exposition beginning, say, June 15, 1900, and extending to about the Ist of December, 1:40, for the reason that in June, 1800, the public offices were transferred to the city of Washington, and opened there on the 15th of that month. On November 22, 1800, President John Adams, in his spvech at the opening of Congress, said: “I congratulate the people of the United States on the assembling of Congress at the permanent seat of their government, and I congratulate you, gen- tlemen, on the prospect of a residence not to be changed,” etc. He furthermore said: ‘ou will consider it as the capital of a great nation, advancing with unexampled rapidity in art, in com- merce, in wealth, and in population, and possessing within itself those resources which, if not thrown away or lamentably misdirected, will secure to it a long course of prosperity and self-government.” The House of Representatives, in their answer to the above speech, said: “The final establishment of the seat of the na- tional government, which has now taken place in the District of Columbia, is an event of no small importance in the politi- cal transactions-of the country. A consid- eration of these powers, which have been vested in Congress over the District of Co- lumbia, will not escape our attention; nor shall we forget that in exercising these powers a regard must be had to those events which will necessarily attend the capital of America.” I have no doubt but that such an exhibi- tion would redound to not only our own advantage and advancement, but to the advantage, advancement and closer union of every state and country making an ex- ibit. _ The location of the city is unsurpassed, being the terminus of four great railroad systems and several steamboat lines, as well as being within a short ride of the ocean lines. Within a radius of 200 miles we have more than 15,000,000 population. We are near the great coal, iron, of] and manufacturing centers. While the United States government has at present a large permanent exhibit, yet it would be most fitting that there be erected a permanent building for the de- posit of historical relics and records. This building would no doubt be supplied to a great extent by the several patriotic socie- tes of the country. In conclusion I would say that our rep- resentatives (the board of trade) could find no better field for the exercise of their powers before Congress. I hope that they will take it up. WILLIAM S. KNOX. _ Fined for Failing to Appear. W. E. D. Stokes was fined $100 recently in New York by Judge Barrett for failing to appear and serve as a juror on October 7. Mr. Stokes sent a letter to the court at the time stating that he unable to be on hand, as he had met with an injury. This, however, was not considered sufficient to excuse him from jury duty, as the law contemplates a personal appearance. Van Alen to Furnish Bail. A special to a New York paper from New- port says that it is understood that Mr. J. J. Van Alen will accept the writ issued for his arrest in the Colt divorce suit, and will furnish the bail required. It is understood that he has engaged for his counsel Col. Samuel P. Hovey, who as member of the democratic national committee helped to secure for him the appointment of minister to Italy, and George R. Rives of New York. “@MEDICAL> DISCOVERY. The invention of Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids” Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., has, during the past thirty years, made a record in the cnre of bronchial, throat and lung diseases_that fairly entitles it to out- rank all other advertised remedies for these affections. Especially has it manifested its potency in curing consumption of the lungs. Not every case, but we believe Fully 98 Per Cent. of all cases of consumption, in all its earlier stages, are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (includ- ing tubercular matter), great loss of fiesh and extreme emaciation and weakness. Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by ‘‘Golden Med- ical Discovery’? were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease? You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in mis- representing them, and who were often strongly rejudiced and advised against a trial of “Golden Medical Discovery,” But who faye been forced to confess fee it surpasses, in curative power over th fatal malady, all other medicines’ with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod- liver oil and its filthy ‘‘emulsions”’ and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene- fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various rations of the hypophos- phites had ‘also been faithfully tried in vain. The photographs of a large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skillfully reproduced in a book of 160 pages which will be mailed to you, on re- ceipt of address and six cents in stamps. You can then write those cured and learn their experience. Address for Book, WoRLD’s DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N. Y. a The Opal is the Birthstone for October. POLISHING SILVER.
