Chicago, Special.?By a fire which
broke out in their plant at the stock
yards Saturday night, Swift & Co., suffered
a loss whoch is estimated by the
officials at $1,000,000. The fire was confined
to one building standing at the
intersection of Packers avenue and
Broadway. This structure was four stories
high, built of brick, and was 300
feet square.
The first floor was occupied by the

the general offices of the company.
The latter are said to have been the
largest single offices in the United
States, more than 800 employes working
on one of the floors in a single
room.
The cause of the fire is not known,
but it was discovered near the engine
room. It spread so rapidly through the
building that it was found Impossible
to save anything in the structure.
The burned building adjoins portions
of the plants of Armour & Co., and
Libby, McNeil & Libby, and for a time
the fire department had a desperate
flght to keep these buildings from the
flames. W. J. McGonigle, the superintendent
of the plant, said tonight that
the loss will aggregate fully one million.
The loss is fully covered by insurance.
After the Trusts.
Oyster Bay, L. I., Special.?It has
been ascertained that the President'3
speech at Pittsburg Friday in reference
to the trust question was a forerunner
of determined efforts bv him
to have Congress take up that sub- \
Ject and enact definite legislation at
its next session for the control or supervision
of the trusts. Recently the
President and Attorney General Knox
held a conference with Representative
Littlefield. of Maine, whose knowledge
of constitutional law is admitted.
at which Mr. Littlefield was invited
to prepare a bill for the regulation
and control of the trusts that
will go before Congress with the endorsement
and influence of the President
back of it. The bill will be submitted
at the beginning of the next
session, but before this is done, the
President. Attorney General Knox
and Mr. Littlefield will have frequent
conferences as to the details. In addition
to this proposed action the
President is going to talk upon the
trust question a great deal on the
several trips to be made by him in
the fall. He has announced to
mends tnai tne question is a. vuai
one, and that he proposes to push it
vigorously until there is some action
by Congress.
Duty on Cuban Vessels,
Washington, Special.?The President
has issued a proclomation of
date July 3rd removing discriminating
duties upon Cuban vessels entering
United States ports. Under Spanish
rule and also under the military occupation
such duties were not imposed
upon Cuban vessels, for It has
been formally declared to the authorities
that Spain imposed no such duties
upon United States vessels. But
when Cuba became an independent
nation the law was self-acting and the
duties began to run, until such time
as the president should receive satisfactory
assurance that there was no
discrimination against United States
vessels in Cuban ports. Now such
assurance has been received through
Mr. Squiers and the proclomation has
been issued.

an extreme maximum a:' 106 degrees
at Florence on the 4th. 'the minimum
of the week was 67 cegrces at Spartanhnre

There was very little cloudiness, and
the sky was practically cloudless except
for short periods each afternoon.
Fresh to brisk, parching winds prevailed.
that were very injurious to vegetation.
as the relative humidity was
much below normal, causing crops to
wilt and shrivel. The nights were practically
dewless.
Only six out of over two hundred
points represented by correspondents
reported any appreciable amount of
rain, with the largest amount in Oconee
and Lexington counties, making
this the driest as well as the hottest
week of the season. The drought has
become serious over the eastern half
of the State, where corn has suffered
material injury, while over the western
half, all crops have so far stood the
trying conditions remarkably well, but
are badly in need of rain.
The earliest corn was too far advanced
to be greatly hurt, but later
plantings suffered from the extreme
heat, dryness and parching winds, and
some fields were Irretrievable damaged,
over the eastern counties. Bottom land
corn, and over the western counties
generally, it has not yet been seriously
injured, but soon will be with a continuation
of the present weather conditions.
Corn is firing in Orangeburg
and Barnwell; chinch bugs are damaging
it in Chester, Lancaster and
York.
Cotton which stood the unfavorable |
weather fairly well, except that in
places it is turning yellow and shedding
its lower leaves, and has stopped
glowing. Lice are still prevailent in
a few localities. It is blooming profusely
in places, and the plants are full
of squares. The dry, parching winds
had a deteriorating effect, but in places
the crop continue to be unusually
promising.
Tobacco was hurt somewhat by the
hot sun. and curing, that is now general,
was hastened by the unfavorable
weather that threatened further injury.
In places the crop is very fine.
Wheat threshing is practically finished.
and late reports confirm previous
ones as to the progress of the crop,
and the uniform fine quality of the
grain. Rice is doing very well, but like
ail other crops, needs rain badly. Melons
are being marketed, but th'e dry

THE WAGONS COMING
DR. CHAPMAN'S SUNDAY SERMON
Lessons From the Story of Jacob-*
Its Application to the Problems of
the Present
Vkw York Citv ?The Rev. J. Wilbur
Chapman, the nopular pastor of the Fourth
Presbyterian Church, who is remarkably
successful as an evangelist, has prepared
an intc-sting sermon u?nn the subject of
"The Wagons Are Coming." It is
preached from the text. "And when he
saw the wagons which Joseph, had sent to
carry him. fhn srvirit of Jacob their father
revived." Geneiss 4r>: 27.
There is a fascination about the land of
| Egypt which cannot be described in words.
There are some particular features of th?s
ancient land which impress you. First of all
there is a peculiar haze over the country
i which is unlike anything to be seen in any
other part of fhe world. The sunsets are
indescribable, but the most striking thing
about Eevpt is the ruins; on every side of
[ you are these r"ins telling of the splendors
of past days. You pass up and down avenues
that- are lined with sphinx and with
obeb'sk. the exonisite carvings of which reveal
the fact that there were giants in
the days when these works of art were
made. In the olden times the world's
pomp and wealth seemed to have been
noured at the very feet of this capital of
Egypt, and here in all the days of its snlendor
and power stood Joseph, next to Pharaoh
in nower. There are some places vis[
ited by the traveler to-day which speak directlv
of Joseph and his times, as. for example.
the ancient obelisk at Helioapolis.
where Josenh got h:s bride, and the most

might sav trulv. "Before Abraham was I
am." The story of the early life of
Joseph ne?d not he told, for we are perfectly
familiar with it. . We listened to
the recounting of it in onr childhood's
d\vs. and it was one of the fascinating stories
told us hv our Christian mothers. The
account of bis coat of many colors, the
bowing sheaves in the harvest field, the
anger of his brother, and the grief of his
old father are facts too well known to
need telling here, except that it is weT! for
us to know that he is. to sav the least, an
almost perfect illustration of our Saviour,
or as some one has said. "Our Joseph." for
the names of Joseph and Jesus are practically
the same. Joseph was loved by his
father, hated bv his brethren, and was exalted
to the place of power in the then
known greatest kingdom in the world. Our
I Saviour was the beloved Son of His Fath|
er, was hated hv those whom He came to
save, sold for thirtv pieces of silver, cast
I into the pit, is to become the Saviour of
His brethren, and iV exalted to-day at the
| right hand of t.he Father in majestv and in
| power. All this is striking, to say the least,
and makes the text to be of added interest.
T.
The story of Jacob. We cannot appre^
eiate this text without we nave ine story 01
this remarkable OH Testament character.
He was a typical Jew. if we understand
him as we may understand Israel; a oeople
found in every country and belonging to
none. Some one has said that Abraham
was a hero, but Jacob a nlain man dwelling
in tents. Abraham is above u?. but Jacob
is one of ourselves, and the difference between
Abraham and Jacob in the Old Testament
is the difference between Paul and
Peter in the New Testament, the one towering
above us like some mighty mountain
peak.^and the other our brother and companion
in temptation and failure. There
are several points in the history of Jacob
which we would do well to have in mind.
First, Bethel. It was a ble*k. barren
place in the heart of Palestine, the traveler
sees on every side of him great rocks and
nothing but rocks, and long years ago
?1 T~ ?* >? floolnn arvnr from his
brother Esan the swift Eastern night comes
down upon him. and there was nothing for
him to do but to lie down, make a pillow
of stones for hi? head and try to sleep.
fa) The Ladder. Did this not teach in
the dava of Jacob what we have learned
since the time of Christ that earth is not
the binding star, but is bound to heaven
not simnlv by a ladder in a man's dream,
but by Him of whom the ladder is an illustration,
and who said. "No man cometh
unto the Father but hv Me."
(b> The Angels. When we see them ascending
it is an illustration of our nravers
rising to God. and when we behold them
descending it is an illustration of the answers
coming down. It is certainly a comfort
for us all to know that we are as tnilv
united to God as in the night of Jacob's
dream he felt himself to be.
fc) The Voice of God. He said to the
slefping man, "T will be with thee, I will
keep thee, I will not leave thee," and this
' dream was an inspiration for many a long
dreary day.
Second, Jabbok. Jacob 1s on his way
hack home when suddenlv he hears that
Esau is ahead of him and he is afraid. He
* * >? XI

then his children and finally his beloved
Rachel, and he himself is left alone.
Around him the stillness of the midnight
hour, beside him the murmur of the brook
over the stones, above him the depths of
heaven, and while he was left alone the
thought of his past failure comes to him
and he is depressed, when suddenly he
finds himself in the grasp of the angel, and
he struggles to free himself. Let it be
noted that he is not wrestling with the angel.
but the angel with him, and is this
not God seeking to take from Jacob's life
that which has hindered the development
of God's life in him. There are three
things to be remembered here.
(a) The change of his name. His name
was Jacob, which means "a suoplanter and
cheat." and the angel gave him the name
of T?r?p] which means "a prince," because
he had prevailed.
(b) Power with God and with men, but
'et it lie remembered that it is power with
God first. So many of us are seeking for
power to move men; if we could but learn
that we can move men by the way of the
throne of God it would be a lesson of unspeakable
value.
(c) The vision of God. Ever afterward
as Jacob remembered Jabbok he said. "I
have seen God face to face," and this was
the secret in part of the transformation of
his character.
TMrd. Bethel. It will be noticed that
Jacob is at Bethel again. He has had a
dreary experience of failtve, and in the
.15th chapter of Genesis God tells him to
co back to Bethel. In itself Bethel is not
much, it is just a long ranee of barren
hills, but to Jacob it was a memorable
snot for there he had seen God. It is an
easy thing to understand how he might
have been homesick for Bethel, for we
lonr to see the old home so filled with sarred
memories and the old land where we
were born, the old church where first we
camp to Christ, and so God said to Jacob.
"Put away your idols." and he buried,
V
them near to the oak and hurried on t*
Bethel. Is this not a lesson for some of ua
in these days, we have spiritually declined,
to have jo?t the peace that once we had,
the power that used to be ours, let us go
back to Bethel and pray as we used to
pray, read the Bible as we used to read it,
spend the Lord's day as we used to spend
it, give ourselves to God again. I doubt
not hut that blessing will be ours without
measure. There are some other events
which we ought to keep in mind in the life
of Jacob to appreciate the text. One was
the death of Rachel as lie came near to
Bethlehem. I have seen the tomb in which
it is said her body was placed, and this is
of Genesis.
the 16th to the 10tb verses. "And they
journeyed from Bethel; and there was but
a little way to come to Ephrath: and
Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.
And it came to pass as she was in hard
labor that the midwife said unto her. Fear
not, thou shalt have this son also. And it
came to pass, as her soul was in departin?,
for sne died, that she called his name
Ben ont, but his father called him' Benjamin
And Rachel died, and was buried in
the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem."
The other was his loss of Joseph. For
twenty years he had mourned him. There
are some cries that are crushed out of his
heart which enable us to see and understand
his grief, as, for example, "I shall
go down to my grave mourning." and
again, "Me ye have bereft of my children.
Joseph is not, Simion is not and now yoa
will take Benjamin from me."
n.
The meeting of Joseph and Jacob. We
are familiar with the story of Joseph's revelation
of peace to his brethren and now
at Pharaoh's suggestion the wagons were
sent for the old man and all his loved opea[
that they might come into the Jana or
Egypt and dwell there while the famine
raged in Canaan. I ean hear the wagons
rumbling outside the palace door, and Pharaoh
stands at his palace with Joseph beside
him, the ring upon his hand and
chain of authority about his neck. Wagon
after wagon passes away ladened with corn
and wheat and a change of raiment, and I
can see Jacob a9 he sits in front of hie
home thinking of his absent sons and of
Joseph, I am sure, for whether our boye
go out to the ends of the earth or heaven
they never get away from us. Suddenly
he sees a cloud of dust in the distance, and
he knows that some one is coming. His
heart begins to beat rapidlv when he imagines
it to be his sons. When they are
near enough to cry out to him they tefl
him, "Joseph is yet alive."" A; this tne old
man fainted. "But when he saw the
wagons which Joseph had sent to carry
him the spirit of Jacob their father revived."
And he said. "It is enough.
Joseoh my son is yet alive. I will go and
see him before I die." From all of this
beautiful Old Testament incident I learn
these helpful Jessons.
First, the wagons have come for us,
bringing us the best blessings of heaven,
containing a change of raiment, so that we
need be clad no longer in the garments of
our own righteousness, out in tne roDes ox
His righteousness. In this garment there
is the mark of the blood shed for oar redemption
and the reflection of the glory of
the throne of God, bringing i? food to
eat that the world cannot give, and which
if a man eat be shall live forever.
Second, bringing us good news. These
wagons shall come to us as thuy came to
Jacob. The best of the newi; was that
Joseph was yet alive. In the Old Testament
when the day of atonement came the
Eriest took off his garment of glory and
eauty and clad in linen robes maae his
way into the presence of the Ark of the
Covenant, and then the service over he
came out and put on again the garment of
glory and beauty, on the hem of the robe
of which there was a golden bell, and
pomegranate the whole length of the hem
round about, and as he moved around the
people heard the ringing of the bells and
knew that the priest was yet alive. Jacou
knew that Joseph was alive because he
saw the wagons,
Third, the wagons took Jacob up to his
lost boy, and one day the wagon will come
for us to take us up to our friends who
have gone from us. Jacob did not think
of the Nile in Egypt, which he was to see,
but of Joseph, and that is what heaven
is to us, the presence of Jesus. If He is
not there, there will be no music; if He is
not there, there will be no glory; if He is
not there, there will be no joy, bift thanks
be unto God these wagons shall take us
up to meet our loved ones to whom we
L It tu: 1.1 1

will be joy unspeakable.
in.
Home at last. The end has come for
Jacob. His has been a great life, and his
a great fight. We scarcely appreciate him
until he is going. We have looked upon
great buildings in process of construction
and said, "That is the greatest building
in the city," but never until the scaffolding
is taken down do we appreciate the
work of the architect or the skill of the
men who carried out his plans, and now
that the scaffolding is being taken down
from about Jacob we see his real manhood.
"I shall be gathered to my people," he
said to those who were about him, and
that settles for me the question as to
whether we shall know each other in the
other land.
"Bury me with my fathers," he said,
Genesis 49 : 29-31. "And he charged them,
and said unto them, I am to be gathered
unto my people; bury me with my fathers
in the cave that is in the field of Ephron,
the Hittite. In the cave that is in the
field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre,
in the land of Canaan, which Abraham
bought with the field of Ephron, the Hittite,
for a possession of a bury-place.
There they buried Abraham and Sarah,
his wife; there they buried Isaac and ReKpL-ah
his wife. ind there I buried Leah."
and that must have been a great procession
which started from Egypt to Canaan.
I can think of c.nother procession a little
like it. In 1881, not far from Luxor, a
great find was made of kings and queens
at a place called Del El Bahri. For a long
time the tourists had been picking up
pieces of jewelry and other valuables
which the scholars knew belonged to the
kings and queens of other ages, and at
last after much work it was found that
a discovery had been made of the greatest
value, and when the representatives of the
Government made their way to Dei El
Bahri they really found the mummy of the
great Pharaoh' and others who were buried
with him. These bodies were taken
out of the place of hiding, carried to the
Nile and floated off to Cairo, and it is
said as the procession moved along the celebrated
river the Egyptians lined the bank
all the way to the city, threw dust into
the air, fell upon their faces and cried
aloud, "Pharaoh the great has come again I
Pharaoh the great has come again! It
must have been like this when Jacpb was
taken back to Canaan, "Jacob, the great,
has come again," but at last they reach
the cave of Machpelah, and they place
him there to rest. Abraham is there with
Sarah and Isaac with Rebekah and Jacob
with Leah, and there they shall wait until
the tomb is opened by the coming of
Christ, and hand in hand they shall go
forth to meet Him. May God speed the
day. .
