(Copyright, WW, by kout? Klopsen, N. T.) Washington, Jan. IS. In a very* novol wi y Dr. Taluaago in thin discourse desoribe? what may bo expooUd in the next world bj those who here bond all their enorgies in ?ht right dlreotiou; text, II Peter I, tl: "For so en entrance shall bo ministered unto you abundantly." Different styles of welooine at tho ?ate ot Heaven aro har? suggested. We all hops to enter that supernal capital through tho grace that . ia ready to savo even tho chief of sin ner?. But not now. No man healthy of body and mind want? to go now. The man who hurl? himself out of this life io either an agnostio or io demented or find? lit? insufferable .nd doo? not caro where ho lands. ThU io tho best world wo over got fot into, and wo want to stay here ee long a? God will'let us ?tay. But when tho last pago of tho volume of ?ur earthly lite ia ended we want en rollment in Heavenly citizenship. Wo want to get in easily. "We do not want to. he challenged nt tho gate and asked to ?how our paosports. We do not want the gatekeeper in doubt ns to whether wo ought to go in nt all. Wo do not want to bo kept in tho portico of tho templo until consulta tion ia mado as to where we came from and who wo aro and whethor lt ls safo to admit UH, lest wo bo a discord in tho ctornal harmonies cr lower tho spirit of Heavenly worship. When tho apostle Peter in tho text addressee tho people: "Por so an en trance shall bo administered unto you ahundantly," ho implies that some will find admission into Hoaven easy, rapturous and aoolamatory, while others will have to squeeae through the gate o' Heaven, if they {ret in at all. They will arrive anx oue and excited and approhenaive and wondering whether it will bo "Cornel" er "Gol" Tho Bible speaks of suoh persons OB "scarcoiy saved," and in another plaoo as "'saved us by Aro," and in another plaoe as esoaped "by the ?kin of tho teeth." Currying out tho suggestion of my text, I propose to show you what elasses of Christians will get into Heaven with r hard push ?.nd those who wili hound in amid salutations infinite. In the first class I put that man who get? into tho kingdom of Qed at tho close of a lifo all given to worldliness and sin. YCQVB ago ho mado tho resolution that ho would serve himsolf and serve the world un til body, mind and soul were exhaust ed and then, just before going out of this lifo, would ?eek God and pre pare to enter Heaven, ne carries out his resolution. Ho genuinely repents the last day or tho last hour or tho last minute of his life. He takes the last soot in the last car of the last 1 train bound Heavenward. His re loaned end immortal upi rit ascends. Not ono wing- bears down toward him , with a welcome. No sign of glndnosT at his arrival. None there obligated . to him for kindness done or alms dis tributed or spiritual help adminis tered. He will find some place to stay, but I do not envy that man his Heaven. Ho got in, but it was not an. abundan t entrance. Sometimes in our pulpits wo give a wrong turn to the story of the dying thief to whom Christ snid: '"liai? day shalt thou be with me in Paradiso.", We ought to admire tho mercy of Christ that pardoned him in tho last hour, but do not let u? ad mire tho dying thief. When ho was arrested, I think his pockets were full of stolen coin, and the ooat he had on hi? baok was not his own. Ho stole right on until he was arrested for his crime?. He repented, and through great meroy arose to Para dise, but he was no example to fol low. What a gigantlo meanness to devote tho wondrous equipment of brain and norvo and muscle and bon? with whloh we are endowed, these miracle? of sight and hearing and epeeoh, to purpose? unworthy or pro fane, and then, through hasty repent ance at tht last, enter Heaven I Cheating God all one's lifetime and then taking advantago of a bankrupt law and mado free of all ^abilities. I should think that some men would be ashamed to enter Heaven or would prefer some medium place in tho wide universe where tho palaces are not so effulgent and the troes bear not mort than six Instead of twelve man ner of fruits and the social lifo is not so exalted. Again, tho bigot will not have what my text call? an abundant ontrance. He has his bedwarfed opinion as to what all must believe and do in order to gain oelestial residence. He has his creed in one pocket and his catechism . In another pocket, and it may be a ?-ood oreed and a good catechism, but he uses them os sharp swords against those who will not accept his theories. You must .bo baptized in his way or come to him through apostolic succes sion or.be foreordaineu of eternity, or you aro in an awful way. He shrivels np and. shrivels up and becomes more .plonetlo until the time of his depar ture is at hand. He has enough of the aalt of grace to save him, but his entrance into Heaven will be some thing worth-watching. What do they want with him in Heaven, where they have all gone into eternal catholicity, one grand commingling of Methodist* .nd Baptists and Episcopalians and Lutherans and Congregationalists and Presbyterian? and a score of other de nominations just a? good as any I Lavo mentioned? They all join in the His Stomach Romovod. A romarkablo aurgioal operation wa? porformod noveral day? ago on Albort Hand ador f, a gorman, living on Ohorvy Btroot.

As bo comes up to tho shining- gate he sees standing in6ido of it some whom ho used to moot ?very Sunday morning on the street going to tomi othcc ohuroh of tomo other denomination, and ho crien out: "Aro you there?" 1 never ?xpeoted to see you In such a glorious place. You wero all wrong in your religious theories on earth uvtd in your form of church government. How did you get in?" "Saved by grace," is the Heavenly reply. "Saved by grace I" Tho bigot is embarrassed and feels for his creed and bia cate chism, and, lo, they vere left on tho banks of tho River Jordan aa ho passed through, and he cries out: 'I think 1 will have to enter on tho Kamo terms. Saved by grace I Saved by grace!" Again, tho penurious Christian will not have an abundant entrance. Per haps ho was not converted until all his hab'ts of tight-flstodness were Axed beyond recovery. The people who are generous were taught to be generous in childhood. You can tell from the way the boy divides the apple what his oharaoterlsticB for generosity or mean ness will be for the next 80 years, If he lives so long. If ho eat it all himself while others look wistfully on, he will be a Shylook; if he give half of it to some ono who has no apple, he will be an ordinarily generous man; if he give three-fourths of it to another he will bo a Baron Jilrsoh or a George Poa body. For 30 years this man has been prac* ticing an economy which prided itself on never passing a pin without picking it up, and if ho responded at all in church would pu i on thc collcotion plate BO insignificant a coin that bc held, his hand over it so that no one oould disaover tho smallness of the denomination. Somewhere in tho fif ties or sixties of liiB life, during a re vival of religion, ho beoamo a Chris tian. He is very muoh ohnnged in most respects, but his all-absorbing ac quisitiveness still iniluenoes bim. To exiraoi from him a gift for aa orphan age or a ohuroh or a poor woman who has just been burned out is an aohievo ment. You and I know very good men, their Christian character beyond dis pute, and yet they are pronounced bj all as panurious, and thoy know lt themselves and pray against it. We all hnvo our bad habit?, and yet expect to get to Heaven, and this skinflint has his mighty temptation. Tho passion of ovarloe woll illustrated its strength when in one of th? houses of exhumod Pompeii was found the skeleton of a man who wa? trying to oscapo with 60 ooins and a silver saucepan. For those voluablen he dared th? ashes and scoria of Vesuvius which overwhelmed him, and many a good man has been held' mightily by avarice. But that brings me to the other thought of ray text, that there aro those who will, when they leave this life, bound into Heaven amid saluta tions infinite. "For so an entrance shall be administered unto you abun dantly." Such exultant admission will await thoso who enter Heaven after on earth living a life for other? ond without reference to conspicuity. On the banks of the Ohio or the Tuscaloosa or the Audroscoggin is a large family, all of whom have been carefully and religiously reared. In the earlier stages of that family there were many privations. Tho mother of the house hold never had any amusements. Per haps once in a year a poor theatrical' play was enacted in the neighboring schoolhouse or a squaw Iring concert in tho town hall, and that was all thc di version afforded for the winter season. I asked the manager of an insane asy lum in Kentucky: "From what class of persqns do you get most of your pa tients?" and ho said: "Prom farmers' wivos." I asked tho same question of thc manager of an insano asylum in Pennsylvania, and the same quostlou of tho manager of an Insano asylum in Massachusetts, and got the same reply: "We have on otir roll? for treatment moro farmers' wives than persons coming from any other class." That answer will be a surprise to some; lt waa no surprise to mc. The simple rea son Is, farmers' wives as a general thing have no diversion. It is break fast, dinner and supper, sewing, scour ing, aorubbing, knitting, mending, year In and year out. That mother ls tho milliner, the mantua maker, the nurse, tho dootor, tho accountant of tho whole family. She plans the ward robe of spring, of summer, of autumn, of winter, cutting, Atting, oomplotlng garments, out of wbloh tho children soon grow and mast have something else. The newspaper does not come, or, if coming, there is no time to read lt. No selection of good books. Thc neigh bors calling in ar? full of the same grinding routine. No wonder so many of them go into dementia! Now, the mother of whom I speak as living on the banks of that river in Ohio or Alabama or Main? has gone through all the drudgery mentioned, and her children have turned out well, good and useful men and women, orna ments of society, pillars in the house of Qod, and that wholo family, after the years have passed by and their work is done, will meet in the Heaven ly country. From such a family some will certainly have preceded her, and the time of hor expeoted arrival will be announced to all the members of that family already glorified and to the old earthly neighbors who put down their toils a little sooner than she did, and she will have the warmest kind of home coming, . There is another kind of spirit who will have radiant admission to the i upper dominion. There ls a faot which ought to have most emphatio pronouncement. All over the world to-day there oro mon and women of j A Hot Fight. Ooiditions are ri po in IC a inn H for ono of tho hotted, political fights that has boon imllml off thcro in many a day. A hill baa boon introduoed in tho legislature to ropcal tho women't rmf frago law. Tho baokors of tho bill say that tho woman voto in Kansas City, Kan., is one of tho most corrupt in fluonoos in that city's polities, as tho womon insist on hoing haulod to the polls in oarriagos. Thia exponfo, it is do ol o red, in getting to bo burdoDsomo. Tho "now" womon of tho aUto aro at onoe up in arms, and propoio going to Topoka and making things hot for those prcaurntuoui mon, I I Gan't Fight Hore. Tho govornor Thursday afternoon ro* ooived tho following from Oinoinnati, 0., in regard to a prize fight in whioh a groat many are interested: "Pteaso wire us whether you will allow Joffrits and Hhulin to fight A Hmitod number of round? in your stat? in oaso th* fight prevented hors." Governor MoSwconoy promptly answered as follow*: "Under no oiroumsiauoofl would Jeff rios and Uhulin bo allowed to fight in this state. . ?

Heavens. Tho oheok book in th? offleo drawer of that man h a o" on it? stubs a story of be^ nefloence olear up into the, sublimo. In all tho round of tho world's suf fering and iguoranoe.aud woo you cannot mention one worthy object to which that prosperous and good man has not made contribution, lie i? not Irritated, as many are, by so licitations for alms. In some poor woman in thin shawl, holding in her arms a^chlld with rheum in ita eyes, this good man sccs thc Christ who said: "Inasmuch aa ye havo done it unto on? of tho least.of these, yo haye don? it unto me." Well, th!? man of consecrated afflu ence Is about io go out of .this world. He feels in brain and nerve tho sprain of tho early struggles by whh\ ho won his fortune, and at 63 or 70 years collapse? under tho exhaustions of the twenties and thirties of his life time. When the morning papers an nounce that he is gone, iheve la ex citement not onlj' on tho avenues where the mansions stand, but all through the hospitals and asylum's and tho homes of those who will henceforth hare no helper. But tho excitement of sadness on earth la a very tame affair compared with tho excitement of glndness in Heaven. Tho guardian angel of that good man's Ufo swept by his dying pillow the night beforo, and on swift wing upward announced that in a few hours he would arrive, and thcro is n mighty stir in Heaven "Ho r.omcBl" orics Rcrnph to seraph. Tho King's heralds ar? at tho gate to any: "Come, ye blessed," and souls who woro saved through the ohurobes that good man supported and hundreds who went up after being by him helpod in their earthly struggle will conn; down oft their thrones and out of their palaces and through tho streets to hall him into the laud which they roached come time before through his Christian philanthropy. "Why. that is tho man who, when I wes a-hungercd, gav? mo bread!" "Why, that ie the man," says another, "who enoouroged mc when I was in the hard struggle sf business life!" "Why, that ia the wan," says another, "who paid my rent when I had noth ing witt? which to pay I" "Why, that is tho man through whoso mission1 ary spirit I hoard th?* Gospel oall in Bombay!" "Why, that is tho man," says another, "who helped send the Oespel of Chrl&t to tue aborigines of Amerioa and caused me to exohango the war whoop of the savage for tho song of Christian deliverance!" "Stand back," commands thc gate lMoper of Heaven, "nil ye throngs re deemed through this man's instru mentalities! Make way for him to the feet of thc King, where ho will cast his orowii, and then make way for him to tho throno, where hs shall reign forever and ever!" Now, that is what I call au abundant entrance. You sec, it is not necessary to bo a failure on earth in orri*r to bo a suc cess in Heaven. But I promise that all those who have lived for others and been truly Christian, whether on a large or a small scale, will have illustrious in troduction into the imported gateway. Here and there in some large family you see an attractive daughter who declines marriage tliat she may take care of father and mother in old days. This is not an abstraction. 1 have known such. You have probably known such. There are in this world womanly souls as big as that. They cheerfully enduro the whimsicalities and querulousness which sometimes oharacterixe the aged, and watch nights when pneumonia ls threatened, and aro eyes to th? blind, and sit in close rooms lest the septugenarian be chilled and count out the right number of drops nt the right time. The mother of a little child has her hands full, but the daughter who 6tays home to take oar? of au aged father or mother has ber hands just as full. Whiilo I thus disoourso 1 am aware that some have not taken tho first step toward Heavon, and they feel like Jacob Sfcrawn, who took some minintera of tho gospel on tho top of his house to ?how his farms, reaching in every di reotion as far as eye could see. He was asked how many acres he owned aud ho replied 40,000. "How much ia it worth per acre?" was asked, and he re plied: "Fifty dollars nt least." "Then," said the minister, "you aro worth $55, 000,000." "Yes," said Strawn, "and I made it all myself." Then the minister said: "You have shown mo these vast earthly possessions, and now will you U?ok up yonder (pointing, to the heav en?)-howmuch do you own up there?" And Strawn answered with tears in his eyes: "Oh, I am afraid I am poor up thore." Alas, how many thero are who have acquired all earthly prosperities and advantages, but have no treasures in Heavenl They are poor vip there. But I am to-day ohiefly addressing those who are started for Heaven and would have them know that while we ar? apt to speak of a Lanphler, the founder of Fulton street prayer meet ings, as having an abundant entrance; and Alfred Cookman, the flaming evan gelist, as having an abundant en trance; and Thoma? Welch and Fletch er, tho glorious preachers of the Gos pel, as having an abundant entrance, and John Bogers and Latlmer and Ridley ascending, like Elijah, in a ohm-lot of Are, a? having au abundant entrance, you also, if you love and eerve the Lord and fulfill your mission, whether it be applauded or unknown, will have, when your work on earth is en died and you are coiled to come up higher, an easy, a blissful, an enrap turing, an abundant entrance.

His figures aro aoourato and his dodUotious oonsorvativo. His roviow of tho hst soason and prospoots for 1900 1901 sot forth that tho last orop (1899 1900) was 9,428,022 halon, and hi? catirasto of tho current orop (1900 1901) is 9.900,000 halos, Ho commenta upon this as follows: A t the oloso of tho Europoau ootton season on Soptombor 30, tho stooks of ootton of all growths in Europoau mar? keta v, oro only 280,000 bales, boing tho smallest rooordod in 58 yoar?, with the exooption of 1863, v/hon, lu oonoequotico of our civil war, tho European s to oka waro roduood to 250,000 halos. Con sumption howcror, was on a muoh amallor soalo thou, and tho stooks, on Soptombor 30, 1863, roprcsontod six wooka' oonsumption of tho mills; whereas tho stooks last Soptombor woro not enough ior two weeks' consumption of Europoan spinners. ThooonBUwp tion of Amorioan ootton last season by Amorioan and feroigo mils was about 11,000,000 bales. My friond, Mr. ThomaB Kllison of Liverpool, oalls it 10,900,000, boing 666,000 moro than tho cBtimato pnblishcd by him at tho boginning of tho soason. In his oirou lar of Ootobor 20 he ostimatod a reduc tion this seasou io Anmrioan and J?p anoRO oiinsumption of 378,000 baloo (of 500 pounds not) and an iooroaao in Eu ropean oonsumption of 90,000 hales (of 600 pounds not), and, with thc ox pcotation of largor supplios than last soason from oountriosobhor tban Ameri oa, statod.that an Amorioan orop of 10, 382,000 balos would bo rcqilrod in or* dor to koop the steok at tho end of tho Honuon from falling below tho limited supply at its oommonooment. Oa Do oombor 18 Mr. Ellison oablod that ho thought an Amorioan orop of 10,150, 000 balos would moot the rcqutromonts of tho spiunors. This was duo to tho expootation of larger roooipts from In dia than his estimato in Ootobor of 800, 000 ?bales, or 500,000 more tban last soason. In this oonootion it is, woll to remember that wini? 217. (KIO spindles woro added to tho mills of India last soason, many of tho mills woro not con stantly at work. lb is probablo, in viow of tho bottor orops and improvod con dition of affairs that considerably moro ootton will bo spun in India than last season. Tho oommoroial orop of India last soason was 2,613,00C balos against an average of 3,20U,U00 for tho four provious soasouB, but tho aotual yield was probably not ovor 1,300,000 bales, tho balanoo boiug ootton hold ovor from provious orops. It io thought that little or no old. ootton was left in tho interior of India last soason, so that tho prosont oommoroial orop will not oxcood tho growth of this soason. The quantity available for ox port to Europo is thorcforo not likely to exocod 800, 000 balcB, and may not ho as muoh. Tho largobt shipment from ludia to 10 aro pe of recent soatous were 899,000 balos in 1896-97, bub there aro now 900, 000 in )ro spindles in India than thou. About twothirdB of tho ootton grown in India is now consumed thcrJ, and ib is only tho surplus whioh is cxportod. Tho Egyptian orop is oxpootod bo bo less than last soason b / tho equivalont of 250,000 balos of 500 pounds and tho quality .in bolow tho average.

All ot tho now india everywhere wore oiooi?d to bo oporatod to their full capacity and tho additions, to tho milln were for tho same purpoao. With tho sobtlomonb of tho (Jhiooso complications and a ronowal of trade with teat country, I oou?dontly look for buch aouvaty in cotton manufactur ing teat tue oonsumption of tho world's mills will absorb all of this soauon's orops. In that ovonb bite stooks will bo reduced bo very small propoxtins ovory whoro, and tho coming summer may witnoss ? xocodingly notivo and spooula bivo markotB ab lull priooe. It is most likely that thoro will bo a oonsidorablo inoroaso in tho oobton aoroago of this country next spring. While this faob would doubbloss doprcss, to nomo dogroo, tho pnoo of ''lut uro deliveries" fer tho noxb orop it would not roliovo tho am kot for ?pot oct ton. I fully agroo with Mr. Ellson that thoro would nob ho any plethora of ootton oven if tho orop should excood 10,750,000 halos, as bhe distribution would bo spread over suoh a wido aroa bhat thoro would bo no greai accumulation of stooks any whero. As to tho probablo prioo that tho vo ma tudor of tho ourront crop will oom mand, Mr, Shopporson makos no pre diotion and throws out no hint ?nicas ib is bo bo found in tho following son tonoo: 'It is porfootly ovidont that tho pro sont oommoroial orop cannot well oxootd tho yiold of this soason and. uni?os very high pricon prevail in tho sum mor, may bo oonsidurabiy loss than tho yiold from tho faob thab some oobton will bo hold baok, in ovory sootion, for lng nev phOuS.
