HE WHODRIVES STREET CARS, A Minister of the Gospel Bases a Sermon on Him. IMPROVED UPON AND MISUSED. The Class of People Who Try the Poor Jehu's Patience and Makes His Life One of Misery. Rev. Savidge's Observations. “The Street Car Driver and His Patro; was the sbbject of Rev. Charles Savidge's sermon, preached last night at the Seward Street M. E. church, The pastor took his text from James, 5-2: ““Yehave heard of the potience of Job.” The class of men I preach 1o this evening, sald Mr. Savidge, need new hearts, first of all. Then they nced patience a8 the prime christian grace. 1f it were pos- sible for you to buy patience by the yard I would advise you to lay in a large supply, ‘but the fact is, God must give you the start and then you can by divine help grow this beautiful plant. One of the oldest employes on thered line told me the other day that he believed if the devil had made Job a stfeet car driver instead of afflicting him boils, his history might have been different. I will first point out to you some of the drivers’ hardships and trials, and as we go on you will see my purpose in this. He has long hours and must keep at his work through all kinds of weather. You, in slip- pers and gown, sit by your warm fire in your cozy sitting room, and you congratulate your- self that you do not have to face the fearful storm without. You hear the pussing car, ‘but perhaps you do not think of the man who must drive two or three hours after you are asleep. How lightly we bear the ills of others! Christ had a fellow feeling for the toilers and sufferers about him. Thedriver's patience is also put to the test by the kicking bronchios he must drive. A broncho is a wild unbroken horse from the west. In our city we work, very largely, the Oregon horse, but the skill of the driver is taxed to the uttermost before he is broken. However, some of these horses in the street car service have taught me many a lesson. God meant this world to be our school room. There is one horse on the Red line that I ad- mire very much. - I hope the men slip him an extra ear of corn occasionally. He 18 black and white, somewhat in color like the regu- lation show horse, and on this account he is called *‘Barnum.” He is so true and strong and steady that the company keep him for the purpose of breaking bronchos. When a wild horse won't go *Old Barnum” just puils Mr, Broncho, car and the whole business right along. You can hitch that horse to anything and he will work any place. He will pull a straight dead pull forty times if you give him the word. hat is the sort of Christians God wants to- day — Christians 8o true and faithful that they will pull a wild reckless soul right long to heaven with them. Iam afraid the roncho breakers” 1n the church are scarce. ‘There was also a horse on St. Mary’s av- enue hill that I learned_a -good lesson from. He needed no driver. He would go down the hill and turn around to be hitched to the heavily londed car. He worked there till he l:ulll!d his legs out of shape and his knees nocked together. That horse was worth more to the world than some of the men he pulled up that hill. I believe in the immor- tality of such horses. Again, the car driver has to deal with many unreasonable people, 1 should say many' cranky people. Some adies” (7) stand in their door and shout vicar.) The driver stops. The “lady” goes ‘back to take another look in the glass or to et something © has forgotten' The river moves on. 'Phe lady dashes out with the car two blocks away, 8o she reports the driver at the oftice. Some of these street car cranks belong to our churches und profess to have religion. In my opinion when they thought they got religion they got something else, One of the most sensible men in the ser- vice told me this instance: A man stood on the sidewalk but he made no sign tothe driver. The driver said, *‘Do you want the car?” The answer was given in the affirma- tive. When the man entered he said to the rumngcrs: “That fool driver asked me if wanted the car and I had been standing in tho hot sun for half an hour.” The driver opened the door and said, “How should I know you wanted a car, you gave me no sign.” *The angry passenger replied, *Shut that door and shut your mouth. Though it was against the rules, the di said, "1 would advise you to take Ben Fi lin’s advice—'Keep your mouth shut men won't know you are a fool.’” Isn'tit ‘wonderful that some people cannot geton a street car and drop a nickle in the box with- out getting into a fight! That shows how much the majority of people need religion— they need it bad. ‘Take another case of pure cussedness. A man comes out of a store where there is plenty of change. It is very cold. He pulls off his glove and hands the driver a dime. 1f the change is not returned in three seconds he kicks the door and shouts: ‘“Hurry up there, don’t you know I'm freczing?” 1f the driver does not say it aloud, h in his heart: ‘I have been here for fourteen hours this bitter day, with my glove off much of the time, dealng with just such old bears as you are.” " Another man passes his money to the driver and shouts to him to attend to his business, but does not see that the driver is turning his brake to save that earriage yonder driven by a lady. Others wrong him by passing him the counterfeit dollar in the dark. Isaw one in the handsof one of the drivers the other day. This must come out of the poor boy's pay. Shame on a man who will cheat a hard working street car driver. When the car is crowded the lot thickens. There are a great many peo- le who can't behave themselves in a crowd. ere is a man on_the back platform who will not pay. He is neatly dressed, but he is ‘‘immense,” " isn't he! He cheats the company out of a nickle. ‘When questioned by the driver he says ho has paid. He is both a thief and a liar. Then there is the everlasting man who must smoke on the car. He knows it is against the rules but he has only smoked twelve cigars since morning and time is precious. I should think the wife and children of such an old tobacco tub would go half way down to meet him. 1t is a standing wonder to me that they don’t burst with pride over such an “angel.” I will not speak of the “‘small boy' and his pranks on the driver. I can't ‘do that subject justic 1 repeat the text (Jm{lv ! “Ye have heard of the patience of ob. Now we ask, how can the driver be helped? The patrons of the street car could make the driver's position a vory pleasant one. Let me give you a point or two. Those who make trouble with the drivers are people Wwho consider themselves very smart, or es- g\x'lnll{ fortunate. As a rule they are ‘‘cod- sh aristocracy.” People who suddenly find themselves rich, or the recipients of public honors, are often very dificult to manage on 8 street car. The prodigal son was a sample of this sort of people. If he had ridden on a strect car going out from home he would have knocked the driver down several times, or have been knocked down himself. But he would have made no trouble on the trip back. He had the conceit all taken oat of him, If you treat people right they wiil treat you right. Help the driver keep tl rules. Don't insist his breaking the Get enough religion to take the deviltry and selfishness out of you, and then you can ride any kind of arigon God's earth and be happy, but if the devil is in you, you will fight your own grandmother. ~Suffer wrong rather than do wrong. Never think of throw- ® man out of work because of some slight offered you. The company could help him. Ten o'clock at night is late enough for any man to work. 1 have no doubt that when Jesus comes to dwell in person on this earth that all the cars will be in the burn at ten o'clock and the drivers will be having prayers in their fam- ilies. Aund on the Sabbath not & wheel will turn, but the streets will be full of pwg;g walking to church, and among them will he street car driver with his wife and chil- rn on the way to the. house of the Lord. May God hasten that day! But the driver's greatest help must come from God. .God will help you turn @way from your sins, and He will forgive the past and Ho will bless and strengthen you. Some of these days you will make the iast trip on earth, Where will "+ you spend eternity . An old stage driver in the west was dyln‘.i He had driven on the mountain roads. e said: "I am on the down grade and I can’t reach the brake.” I counsel you to be ready for the great journe; into eternity.

As an evidence of the demand for stores in this city, the experience of a building owner on Farnam street near Fifteenth may be sited. The store in question is the only va- cant one on the thoroughfare, and it has been vacant, strange to say, simply becaus eagerness of half a dozen people to o The store was abandoned some time a; the owner, who retired from busine: rented it to a firm month, This firm ness of its own the second store as a side speculation. rented it to a third party, who in turn rented it to a fourth party for a term of five yoars, This firm needed a larger place, and a fifth firm desiring to get the place offered the fourth party a bonus of 1,700 to move to an- other and larger store, which they did with a great deal of satisfaction. As yet, however, the mogle who paid the bonus “have not s cured the possession of the place and the les- sees from the owners say they shall not until the rentowing them by the third lessee, if such he may be called, is paid. The latter swears Dy all the deities'in Olympus that they will get possession, because it is by that means he expects to pay his rent, There is another is- sue, and that is a side one. The firm which ook the bonus had spent only a short time in the store, though their lease was intended for five years, Lessee No. 2 doesn't know whom to hold responsiblo for Lessee No, 4's unexpired term. Lawyers have already been sccured by nearly all the parties, while half a dozen other merchants who want the store also are compelled to stand by and see the Kilkenny fight perpetuated in the courts. gt i g CAPTURED A BURGLAR. Fred Smith Arrested for Robbing Husse's Hardware Store. Officer Burr, oneof the new policemen, made a good record yesterday in the appre- hension and arrest of Fred Smith, the thief who burglarized John Husse's hardware store, 2409 Cuming street, last Wednesday night. Burr's suspicions was first aroused by Smith's disposing of some new cutlery and revolvers at a Tenth street pawnshop. Burr made an_investigation of the matter and became satisfied the goods were stolen from Husse. Smith was arrested and made a full confession of the deed to Captain Green. An entrance had been effected into the store by removing a window in the rear, Nearly $100 worth of goods were taken, mainly razors, knives and revolvers. Pete Hawkins, another of the thieves con- nected with the burglary of John Husse's Hardware store on Cuming street, was ar- rested last evening. He was found in the Academy Exchange saloon by Officers Cor- mack and Mostyn, and was greatly agitated over his arrest. On being searched some of the stolen goods were found on his person. Seidenberg’s Figaro is the only long Havana filled 10¢ cigar for 5con sale everywhere. Jack McGuire's Case. Jack McGuire, who was arrested a weck ago on the charge of stealing a gold watch from Fred Jones while in E. H. Grefe's sa- loon, is still in custody, but will have a hear- ing this morning. McGuire has never been been arrested for such an offense before, and, according to his story, has been guilty of no criminal act. He says that Herm Smith took the watch from Jones' pocket and gave it to him. McGuire was drunk at the time and, not realizing what he was about, put the watch in his pocket. Next morning on dress- ing he discovered the watch in his pocketand took it to Grefe's saloon and asked the pro- prietor to return it to the proper owner when he came in. He explained to Grefe how the watch had come into his possession and asked him to try and smooth matters with the owner of the watch. Grefe took charge of the article, but, McGuire claims, because the saloon keeper had an old grudge against him, he took this opportunity as a means of re- venge and caused McGuire's arrest and in- carceration. McGuire tells a straightfor- ward story and it is thought he will be cleared, the only thing ever before brought against him being his inveterate love of fil s cups, e —— ven Wire Springs 08c.

SOME TERRIBLE EXPERIENCES. How Men and Horses Are Devoured by Feroclous Russian Brutes— House on Wheels and the Russian Government. New York Sun: How many people are killed by wolves in Russia each year?”I once asked of a Russiun official at St. Petersburg, “Twenty thousand, perhaps, but what of it?” he replied. If the Russian government was not concerned about the number, he could not see why outsiders should be. And if the government was concerned, it is doubtful if it could take any steps to greatly lessen the number of wolves or victims. From east to west and north to south, Russia is a wolf country. |The distance between towns, and the thinly settled agricultural districts give wild beasts opportunity to increase in num- bers, and it is said of the Russian wolf that he is always hungry. I statistics were preserved and pub- lished, as in India, the publication of the number of victims killed und devoured by wolves would be startling. Between the villages of Tobosky and Urkovsky--thirty miles apart—there was, in 1868, only one house. That was a half-way hotel. The rest of the road was given up to plain and forest, and for five years previous to 1868 this had been one of the most dangerous places in all Russin. Travellers waited at either village until a band of from ten to twenty had collected, and in midwinter soldiers had to accompany all travelers, A member of the French legation told me that, in making this journey once, the sledges were followed and sur- rounded by a drove of woves estimated to number two thousand. No attack was made, there being a large escort of soldiers. The first time I passed over the road was in summer, and not a wolf appeared in sight. At one point, where the road traversed a plain for eight miles, I saw, without leaving the beaten track, the bones of ut least fifty horses and of sev- enty-five persons. In some cases only a handful of bones were left to represent a person,but [ was assured by the driver that a victim had been pulled down wherever those bones lay. The smaller bones are eaten up or carried off, but the larger ones are left to bleach in the summer sun or lie hidden under the drifts of winter. Even the hotel at the half-way point was not safe from attack, but had to be surrounded by a wall of stone ten feet high., When asked why a general raid was not made on the wolves of this district, and the pests exterminated or driven out, no one had an answer. Iive hundred armed peas- ants, directed and assisted by fifty sol- diers, could have made clean work of it in a day, but the idea of such a raid had never occurred to anyone. While I was lying at Urkovsky that summer the Russian government of- fered a bounty of fourteen cents for the scalp of, every wolf killed in that distvict. There was ang- ther American and an Englishman in the village, and when the proclamation came out we determined on a wolf hunt. We called in a carpenter, and gave him lans of a house on runners. It was as arge as one of the photograph cars drawn from town to town in the United States, and provided with three bunks, a stove, and other conviences. There were portholes in the sides and floor, before three or four sliding doors, and when the hous was done we found plenty of room for three men and coal and provision for a fortnight. There was great curiosity in the town as to what sort of a move we had in view, and the house had been scarcely finished when a government official made us a call and demanded the fullest informa- tion. When we told him that we Frw posed to draw the car out anu the plain and use itasa cover and protection while we shot wolves his gravity in- crensed and _he officially notified us not to move it a fcot until he had communi- cated with his surperiors. The govern- ment, had. offered a bounty for the de- struction of wolves, but we must get permission to destroy them! However, we had lots of time ahead, and while waiting the appearance of the official the car was finished and stocked. It was as roomy as the ordi- nary fright car,and we put in plenty of fuel, provisions and amnaunition. Ve took only shotguns and revolvers with us, It was about the 1st of December when the official made us a second call. He was still very dignified and very grave. He had corresponded with the police inspector of the district, and that official had corresponded with a greater nd perhaps the case went to St. burg. It had, however, been decided that we could move our car, providing we held ourselves responsible for all damages to the czar’s subjects. ‘We did not move until the first week in January. It was a very severe winter with wolves more numerous than for years past, and we had trouble to get teams to draw our house 5 the plain, All through December the road filled up as often as opened, but early in Jan- uary we got away, having four horses to draw the house.” We were to be left on the center of the plain for a week, when the horses were to come back for a new move. As we got out of town early one morn- ing we reached the spot selected long before noon. The car was hauled off to the side of the road at a favorable place, and the men with the horses waited no longer than tounhitch them before start- ing on the return journey. While we had not.seen a wolf on the trip out, several sledges had been pur- sued the week before in broad daylight, and the two men and fou horses were certainly a temptation fo the brutes to gath In making ready we had had the advice of two or three old wolf hunters, and had adopted some of their suggestions. We had brought along some raw meat for bait, and also a gallon of beef’s blood. As soon as we settled down we thawed this blood, and then went out in three different direc tions and sprinkled it on the hard, white crust. On our way back to the car we left a trail, and flung out a piece of meat at intervals. We had not yet reached the car when we heard the howl of a wolf, and five minutes later we could see a dozen of them scamper- ing ahout. It was an hour, however, before one came within reach of our guns, Then the sun, which had been brightly shining all the forenoon, was hidden by clouds, and a snow squall came up to still further darken the heavens. The howling of wolves could now be heard in every direction, and pretty soon they followed the trails of blood in until we all got a shot, and each tum- bled a wolf over. From the instant they fell to the time their bones were clean picked by their compauions was not marvellous to watch the proceedaing. The mouthful apiece whi their ap- petites and stimulated their ferocity, and the whole pack mnde @ rush at the car. The beasts no doabt fook it for a traveler’s sledge, and she attack waa surprising in its flerceness. The num- ber of wolves wasnot less shan 500, and for the first five minutes we were seri- ously alarmed. They were over, under, and around us, howling, barking, snarl- ing, growling and fighting in a way to give us chills, and,hadour car not been securely fastened to the broad, heavy runners, they would have upset it in their rushes. The exterior had been sheathed with sheet iron. We had ob- jected to this expense, but had finall, accepted the advice of one of the wolf hunters. We now realized the wisdom of this precaution.” But for the sheath- ing the wolves would have eaten their way into the car in a dozen places. Such a flerce and unexpected attack rattled us for a few minutes, but after a bit we began firing buckshot into the pack as fast as we could load and pull trigger. Then it was pandemonium let loose. The howls, yells, yelps, growls, and cries redoubled, because every vic- tim of our guns was being devoured by his companions. We fired thirty-four charges of buskshot into the mass, kill- inq at least double that number of wolves, and then the pack began to scatter, and ten minutes later not a liv- ing wolf was in sight. It was a horrible looking sight around us. Every wolf but one had been devoured. ’.\‘):xll.s of fur and bloody bones were scattered over the snow for a hundred feet in every direction, and there was not a foot of snow without its blood stains, There was a wounded wolf who had escaped the fangs of the pack, prob- ably because their appetites were satis- fied for the time being. He had been shot through the hips, and could no longer use his hindlegs. He wasa very large fellow, and we soon had reason to believe that he was still dangeroes. The beast was about fifty steps away when we descended from the car, and the minute he caught sight of us a great transformation took place. All the fur along his spine stood up, his eyes blazed like fire, and he uttered such fierce growls that the three of us raised our guns. The brute could drag himself over the snow crust with his fore legs, and as we stood looking at him he began hitching himself forward to attack us. We Ict’flim come within five or six feet of us before knocking him over. From his actions there was no doubt he would have boldly attacked the three of us had he been less desperately wounded. His scalp was the only one we saved out of the sixty or seventy shot. Not another wolf was seen until night came down. Then they gathered around us seemingly by the thousands. Looking out from one of the small slid- ing doors one was reminded of a great drove of sheep entering over rough ground. Not one of them was still for a minute. and a free fight was always in order. Our house stood six or seven feet high, but they leaped over it back and forth as easily as they could have cleared a log. At one time several of them engaged in a fight over our heads, and we had serious tears of the roof breaking under their weight. When we finally opened five I honestly believe there were 2,000 wolves within pistol shot. Our house was the centre of a circle of leaping, howling, fighting, growing, yelping beusts, each one of which seemed bent on gotting nearer. It was a bright moonlight night, aud we did not waste a shot. One could have shut his cyes and been sure of killing or wounding at every discharge. We limited our shots to twenty- five each and fired slowly ro as not to heat our guns. I believe we killed a hundred wolves with the seven- ty-five shots f one was wounded enough to chase a flow of blood he was a goner. The unwounded would tear him to pieces with even move ferocity than they displayed toward the dead. Soon after we had ceased firing the great bulk of the wolves retired, to be en or heard no move during the night. A few who had probably failed to secure a shave of the horrible feast remamed in the vicinity to growl over the bloody qones and utter an occasional howl and after midnight we slept soundly. We were afterwards told by peasants living eight or ten miles away that packs of wolves passed their farms at dusk on the way to the general rendez- vous. Some of those surrounding our house probably came twelve or fifteen miles. The keeper of the hotel saw fifty or more pass his place, and they were in such a hurry and so occupied with the project on foot that they passed within twenty feet of a stray colt with- out’halting to attack it. On the secand day of our stay we were witnesses of a dreadful tragedy. It was a cloudy day, with occasional snow squalls, but no wolves came near us. At about 2 o’clock, while my companions were lf'ing down, I opened a slide to take a look over the highway toward Toblosky. For four miles the highway was over a plain, and one could see every moving object. Then the road was lost in apine forest, whichstretched along for a couple of miles. I had scarcely pulled back the slide when an object came in view on the road at the edge of the forest, and in half a minute I had out horses. A sledge was coming our way, the first which had passed since we took up our station: We had a pair of field glasses in the car,and I had no sooner adjusted the focus than 1 uttered @ shout which brought my companions to their feet. There were three horses abreast, and they were coming at a dead run, while on both sides of the sledge. I could make out fierce wolves Jumping up. Tho team.was o powerful one, and coming very fast, and in a min- ute more I made out that the sledge was surrounded by a great pack of wolves. The driver was lashing the horses in a frenzied way,while the smoke and flame and faint reports droved that the oceu- pants of the sledge were using firearms to defend themsclves. We had two or three minutes in which to act. Each of us had the idea that the sledge would halt at our car for protection, or that the people in it would certainly leap out at that point. We opened one of the doors, got down our guns, and all were ready to leap out when:a dreadful sound reached our ears. It was the shriek of a horse. I say shriek, for it was noth- ing more nor less—a shriek of terror and despair, The cause wae plain as we looked out. One of the horses had fallen when the sledge was hardly twenty rods away, and the other two had been dragged down with him. We could not see them, however, for the wolves, We just caught sight of two or three Luman res in furs, heard the reports of pis- and shouts of human voices, and the terrible din: made by the es drowned all other sounas. We should have sprung out and gone the assistance of the uravelers, we could move a foot our car was surrounded by wolves, and a mon- ster got his head ‘and shoulders into the doorway and hung there for a few se onds despite the kicks from our heavy boms. We opened the sides and looked out, but all was over then. The car- casses of the horses had been picked to the pone, the harnesses eaten and the robes from the sledge were being torn apart as the wolves raced around. We saw pieces of bloody clothing scattered about, and we knew that the travelers had met a horrible fate. We learned afterward that there were four men .in the sledge. A over forty seconds, It wes something | The pack of wolves, which seémed 0 be lnrfier than any which ha:xet gath- ered, hung about until we had knocked over at least fifty of them, and then drew off to return at midnight. We kept our position for nine days before the men would come with the horses, and, although we preserved the scalps of only three wolves, we estimated the numberof killed as over eight hundred. We intended to put in a week at an- other place, but with the horses came that same government official, who ravely informed us that he had been nstructed by his superior officer to in- form us that our wolrchun'. must end. ‘We were rendering the highways dan- gerous to travelers by aurnctfnz the wolves! ——— Talks to Men at Trinity.
