BEiN 'II TIE nil ES DR. TALMAGh P4EACHES ON MENAC OF CHIMtNALCLAS EE. Plea For Better Prisons-Ana R' cian: ia 1 of Vicieus Dynamtte Thist Thire t Destroy Society-31enace of the I iie Vprootlrg Olabss. In this sermon Dr. Talma:e in a -tart.. way speaks of the dancrs threatet great towns and cities ai ow '+ slut.bering tires tty he put ou - is Psalmlxsx. Ia . "Th r t wood doth waste it. and the w i - fi Id doth devour it'" By tnis hoauiybu David sets forth the ha i nr e:es olden time broke in upon t heti: e a with swine's foot train.: and;L t it swine's snout uprvotm.;t the 'i.et trds oc prosperity. Watt i;*t- rue tii . is Itrue now There have reuen righteousness paated t) u'wer-h das e whole earth had it not cee f r t: . who hewed the, down. T,:e te '. would long ago have bee e i not been for the icono walls and battere. dowa tae :.... l whole earth would isce e ripened clusters na.i boar has wasted it and the wil a:, fie.d devoured it." I p opose to point out to : on thcse w I consider to be the des rue'ive e ,s society. First, the putic e"; "ii . ought'not to be surprise tat. the-e e make up a large pr-portiaon ,.:i c,:.. munities In 1 '.' of the + ( pe('t',L a w were incarcerated ia the pri'ons ,, t.e e: try 3'2000 were of foreigu irtn. N1. : them were the very desperadoes o' - t oozing into the slums of uur ci ie,. w iiu foran opertunity to riot and ste.a a" e bauch, joining the large cau of Amer'ein thugs and cutthroats. aere are :a our cities people whose entire b'iness in life is t commit crime. That is as nmuch thir i ness as ,irispradene er me-icine or ter. chandise is your business. T- it they bring all their energio of body, mind au. soul, and they look upon :he interregnums which they spend in prison a.; so much it f.rtuiuate 1 loss of time, just as you look utpon an at tat a of influenza or rheumatism which 'astens you in the house for a few days. It is their lifetime business to pick pockets, and blow up safes, and shoplift, and p:y the panel game, and they have as much pride or skill in their business as you have in yours when yoa upset the argument of an op.osing cotta. gel, or cure a gunshot fracture which o:her surgeons have given up, or foresee a turn in the market so you buy goods just before they go up 20 per cent. It is their business to commit crime, and I do not suppose that once in a year the thought of the immorali ty strikes them Added to those professional criminals, American and foreign, there is a large class of men who are more or less in dustrious in crime. Drunkenness is re sponsible for much of the theft, since it con. fases a man's ideas of property. and he gets his hands on things that do not .beiong to him. Rum is responsible for much of the assault and battery inspiring men to sudden bravery, which they must demonstrate. though it be on the face of iie next gentle man. You help to pay the board of every crimi nal, from the sneak thief wht snatches a spool of cotton up to some man who enacts a 'Black Friday." More than that it touches your heart in the moral depression of the community. You might as well think to stand in a closely confined room where there are 50 people and yet not breathe the vitiated air as to stand in a community where there are so many of the depraved without some what being contaminated What is the fire that burns your store down compared with the conflagration which consumes your mor ala? What is the theft of the gold and sil ver from your money safe compared with t he theft of your children's virtue2 We are all ready to arraign criminals. We shout at the top of our voice, "Stop tnief'." and when the police get on the track are come out ha-less and in our slippers and assist in the arrest. We come round the bawling ruffian and hus tlehim off to justice, and when he gets in prison what do we do for him? With great gusto we put on the handcuffs and the hop ples, but what preparation are we making for the day when~ the handcuffs and hopples come off? Society seems to say to these criminals "Villain, go in there and rot:" when it ought to say: "You are an offender against the law, but we mean to give you an opportunity to repent; we mean to he'p you. Here are Biblea and tracts and Christian in' fluences. Christ died for you. Look and lite." Vast improvements have been made by introducing industry into the prison, bat we want something more than hammers and shoe lasts to reclaim these people. Aye. we want more than sermons on the Sabbath day. Society must impress these men with the fact that it does not enjoy their sufferir.g and that it is attempting to reform and ele v'ate them. The majority of criminals sup pose that sooiety has a grudge against theta. and they in turn have a grudge against socie ty. They ar" harder in heart and more in furiate when they come out of' jail than when they went'in Many of the people who go to prison go again and again and again. Some years ago, of I,500) prisoners who during toe year had been in sing Sing 4'ui had been there before. In a house of correction in the country where during a certain reach of time there had been ~> (000 people, more than 8,000 had been there be:ore. So, in one case the prison and in the other caec the house of correction left them just as bad as they were before. The secretary of one of the benevolent societies of New Y'ork saw a lad 15 years of age who had spent three years of his life in prison, and he said to the lad, "What have they done for you t o make you better?" Well," replied the ltd. 'the first time I was brought up before the judge he said. 'You ought to be ashamed of yourself.' And then I committed a crime again, and I was brouaht up before the same judge, and he said, 'You rascal: And after awhile I committee some other crime I was brought before the same judge, and he s aid, 'You ought to be hanged.'""That is all they had done for him in the way of reformation and salvation. '"Oh," you say, -'these peo-. ple are incorrigible." I suppose there are hundreds of persons this day lying in the prison bunks who would leap up at the pros pect of reformation if society would only al low them a way into decency and respecta bility. "Oh," you say, "I have no patience with these rogues." I ask you in reply, How much better would you have been un der the same cicumstances? Supipose your mother had been a blasphemer and your father a sot and you had started life with a body stunned with evil proclivities, and you had spent much of your time in a cellar amid obscenities and cursing, and if at lv years ci age you had been compelled to go out and steal, battered and banged at nightiyo came in without any spoils, and suppose your early manhood and womanhood had. been covered with rags and filth and decent -soce ty had turned its back upon you andi le you to consort with vagabornds and whar- ra how much better would you have been have no sympathy with that execzutive ece:: ency which would let crime run luose ,er which would sit in the gallery of a courtrou:n wheeping because some hard hearted wretch is brought to justice. but I do sty that the safety and life o! the community demnand more potential influences in behalf of these offenders.I I stepped into one of the prisons of one of our great cities, tne air was like that of the Black Hole of Calcutta. As the air swept through the wicket it atuost hnocked ine down. No sunlight. Young men who hadi committed their first crime crewdied in among old offenders. I saw there one wo man, with a child almost bhli, who 'a0 been arrested for the crime of tpovetwo was waiting until the slow law coud :~ her to the almshouse, where she rgtil belonged. but she was thrust itn there with esof the town. Many of the i..ler-in that prison sleeping on the dloor,wihnt ing but a vermin covered blanket overten 'Nose people, crowded, and wan, a"nd wa+ ed, and half suffocated, and infurk' e, said to the menr' "How 'A vou -''ndi here?" '-God kno'ws," :one one :nan. "We have to stand it." &ih, they w'l a you :-hen they get out: Where they burned down one house, they will burn three. They will strike deeper the assasstn' knife. They are this minute plotting worse burgaries. Many of the jails are the best piaae I know - t manuf.-actreinotads, vsabonds and Y: ir . well ,i.i, it C~ e c) d t e c i : t e Ce tto t!, n: w l'. cr::.. :t: er ,.:,y w ve beca I:. :. .. c::ius:ian. emnet tea.:n thse:..

These little matters were atixed no.' while the interests of society were -ixed down."' You know as well as I that a criminal who escapes only ovens the door of other criminalities. It is no comnphment to publis authority when we have in all the cities of the country, walking abroad, men and women notorious for the crimi:ality un whipped of justice. They are pointed out to you in the street day by doy. There you find what are called the sfences," the men who stand between the thief and the honest man, sheltering the thief, and at great price handing over the goods to the owner to whon they belong. There you will rd those who are alled wal skinners," the en who nover around Walh street and Stattreet and Third street with great slight of hand in boads and stos. There you find the funeral thieves, the people who o and sit down and Mourn with families and pick their pockets. And there you ind the "con dence men," who borrow money of you because they have a dead child in the house and want t> bury it, when they never had a house nor a family, or they want to go to England and get a large property there, and they want to pay their way, and they will send the money back by the very next mail. There are the --harbor thieves," the h"soplifters," the "rpickpockets," fanous al over the cities. Hundreds of them wit their faces ia the lrogues palerry," yet doing noThing for the last ve or ten year but defraud society and escape justice. When these people go unarrestul and un ounished it is putting a high premium upon vice and sat iti; to the young criminals of this country, --What a safe thing it is to be a great crimin-ul" Let the law s woop upon them. Let it be known in this coutry that crie will have no quarter: tha the detec tives are after it; that the police ctub is be ing brandished: that the iron door of the orison is being opened; that the judge is ready to call the case. Too great leniency to criminals is too great severity to society. Among the uprooting and devonring class es in our midst are the idle. Of course 1, do not refer to the people who are getting old or to the sifck or to those who cannot get work, but I tell you to look out for those athletic men and women who will not work. W~hen the French nobleman was asked why he kept so busy when he had so large a property. he said, '' keep on engravinig so I may not hang rayself." I do not care who the na is. he carnti a:Tord to be idie It is fron tae idie classrs that the criinal classes are made upi. Character, like wate. gets putrid if it stands still too long. WXho cia wonder that this world, where there is so muon to do andI all the hot':s of earth and heaven and hell are plurnging into the othet andI an;:es are tiying and Giod is at work, tand the universe is a qu-ike with the marching and countermnarching, i ou lets Ilt itaiga.:tion fall upon a mian who cho ses idenn& 1 have wa:ched the-e do nothings who spend their timue -strokiti: their ueard ar-d retouching their toilet and criticiing iniu::trious people and pas their days and nights is b-.rromns andI cluibhous'e. oungig and smoking and chewinig and3 card playing. They are not only ut'ele s, but taey are dan.:erous.

Fur the :most part, these 290 000 lodgting are furrnish' e toablehoied men and women-peole as abetowrkasyon and I are. When they tire received no I ager at one plite station. ecaue they are --repeaters," they go t-o soue other station, and so they kept mtovmng around. They get their food at house doors, stealing what th'ey can lay their hands on in he fccnt basement while the servant is send-ing thte bread :n the back hasement a wlu nut work Time s~nd again, in t he country distriets, they have wanted hundreds an-d thos ands of laborers.

The silver passion in Virginia, representing the south, and in Iowa and Nebraska, representing the west, showed no signs of weaken ing, whatever partisans may say. It must be remembered by those who would figure coidly in these matters that Nebraska, an old R.publican state, gave silver about as large a ma j rity this year as .last, while in Iowa the Democrats, after a campaign on the silver issue, polled within 30.000 as many votes as in the presidential year, or a total which was the largest in their history in stitteeleotions, with one t xception.

A largely attended good roads con vention, composed of delegates from all parts of the Sia-e was held in Co lumnia last week. After a great deal of discussicn and reports of experiences from the various counties, the con vention resolved itself into the "South Carolina Good Roads" association. Each county delegation was request ed to report within ten days a name for its c unty vice-president of the association, and a commmittee of ten was appointed to within thirty days, draw up a constitution and bylaws and 2 eport with a permanent organiza tion. The committee is as follows: M. L. Donaldson, of Greenville; W. P. Saelgrove, of Anderson; W. S. King, of Darlington; W.P. Cantwell, of Caarieston; J. B. Kilgore, of Spar tanburg; F. H. Hyatt, of Richland; A. H. Waite, of York; 9. B. McSfveeny. of Hampton: T. M. Littlf j hn, of Cherckee; and J. F. Breeden, of Mail boro. Among the resolutions adopted were the following: R-solved, That the legislature be requested to so alter the law as to give the su pervisors of the several counties the exsilus:.v power of appointig and deaohargir g the oversee: and guard of the c aunty cbhingang. R solved, That a committee of five be appointed by this convention to drlft an act for the cr ation of a road commission for this state b' the legis sture. and reuort at the first meeting of the organiz tion. For B.cycl Riders Ay c.cie rider in the lest inquisi tive about the nutmber of miler per hour he is making, says tee New York Jouriai, can asc-rtain in a very sim ple manner by noting the number of revolui :ns the pedai cranks make in a giv'eanumberof s- conds. The gear of the bic icle must be t aken into Con-1 sideration For ex imple, a rider on ai wtel of 60' gear goes as maay milesj in an hour as his u-tal cranks makes revolu.ious in 11.78 s- c inds. A ta ble of s:.conds and gears for computing speed is as folo~vs: Gear 54 9 64 sec onds; 60). 10 72 s-c.>uds; 66, 11 7d see or.ds; 72. 12 84 seconds; 78. 113.92 secoads; S4, 15.U00 secfcs; 90, 16t08 secotnds; 96, 17.14 s- conds.

For Eli. though he had lived all his life within easy driving distance of the ocean. had never seen it. and ever since his boyhood he had cherished one darling plan-some day he would go to the shore and calmp out there for a week. TIhis. in his starved inagina tion. va:; like a dream of the Acropolis to an artist stricken blind, or as moun tam outlines to the dweller in a lone ly plain. But the years had flitted past, and the dream never seemed nearer completion. There was always planting, haying and harvesting to be considered: and though he was fairly prosnerous excursions were foreign to his simple habit of life. But at last hisw ife had stepped into the van and oranized an expedition with all the valor of a Francis Drake. "Now. don't say one word, father," she had said. "We're goin' down to the beach. Sereuo. an' Hattie. an' you al me, an' we're goin' to camp out."

Next morning, however, when they all rose and took their early re'akfast. preparatory to starting at ive, he showed no sign of indecision, ad even went about his outdoor tasks with an alaerity calculated. as his wife aprovingl'yt remtarked, to "for'ard the 'y'ge." lie hal at last begun to see his way clear, and he looked well sat istied wehen is dlaughter Hattie and Sereno, her husband, drove into the yard in a wvagon cheerfully suggestive of a, wanderiig life.

T he iiired man stood lean ing on tihe pump, chewing a bit of straw, and the eats rubbed against his. les. with tails like banners. "WVell. good-by. Luke."

Hattie sliped her arm through her father's ani led him away. "Come, pa," she said, in a whisper; "le's you and me elimb over on them rocks." Eli went; and when they had picked their way over sand and pools to a hea dland where the water thundered below, and- salt spray dashed up in mist to their feet, he turned and looked at the sea. le faced it as a soul might face Almighty Greatness, only to be stricken blind thereafter: for his e yes tilled painfully with slow, hot tears. ilattie did not look at him, but after awhile she shouted in his ear, above the outcry of the surf: "Here, pa, take my handkerchief. I don't know how it is about you, but this spray gets in my eyes." Eli took it obediently, but he did not speak; he only looked at the sea. The two sat there. chilled and quite content, until six o'clock, when Mrs. Pike came calling to them from the beach, with dramatic shouts, e-mphasized by the waving of her ample apron. "'Supper's ready: Sereno's built a burn-fire, an' I've made some tea:" 'T'hen they slowly made their way back to the tents, and sat down to the evening meal. Sereno seemed content, and .3rs. Pike was bustling and tri umphant. "Well, father, what think?" she asked, smiling exuberantly, as she passed him his mug of tea. "Does it come up to what you expected?" Eli turned upon her his mild, dazed eves. "I guess it does," he said, gently. That night, they sat upon the shore while the moon rose and laid in the water her majestic pathway of light. Eli was the last to leave the rocks, and he lay down on his hard couch in the tent without speaking. "I wouldn't say much to father," whispered Uattie to her mother, as they parted for the night. "He feels it more'n we do." "Well, I s'pose he is some tired," said Mrs. Pike, acquiescing, after a. brief look of surprise. "It's a good. deal of a jaunt, but I dunno but I feeL~ paid a'ready. Should you take out. Sour hairpins, IHattie?" She slept soundly and vocally, but, her husband did not close his eyes. He looked, though he could see nothing,. through the opening in the tent, in the. direction where lay the sea, solemnly clamorous, eternally responsive to. some infinite whisper from without. his world. The tension of the hour' was almost more than he could bear;: he longed for morming, in sharp sus pense, with the faint hope that the lght might bring relief. Just as the' stars faded, and one luminous line pen ciled the east, lhe rose, smoothed his. hair, and stepped softly out upon ther beach. IHere he saw two shadowy fig ures, Sereno and H attie. She hnrriedi forward to meet him. "You goin' to see the sun rise, took father?" she asked. "I made Sereno conme. IHe's awful mad at bein' waked u)." Eli grasped her arm. "Hlattie," he said, in a whisper, "dow' youtl. I just comegout to see hw'twas her'e before I go. I'm goin' home-I'm goin now" "Why. father:" said Ihattie; but she peered more closely into his face and her tone changed. "All right," she :dded. "Sereno '11 go and harness up." "No; I'm goin' to walk." "I don't mean to break up your stay in' here. nor your mother's. Tell her ow 'tw-as.
