REV DR. TALMAGE.
THE UKOOLI.V.N DIVINE'S SIN DAY
SEIIXON.
Terr: The sun shall be turned into darl>
mess. —Acts ii., 1$).
Folar eclipse is here prophesied to take
place about the time of the ilestruction of
ancieut Jerusalem. Josephus, the historian.
Bays that the prophecy was literally fnlfiiled,
ami that atiout that tune there were strange
appearances in the heavens, Tlio sun was
not destroyed, but fora little while hidden.
Cluistiauity is the rising sun of our time,
and men have tried with the va-
Ei»rs of skepticism and the smoke of tlieir
laspheiny to turn the sun into darkness.
Suppose tr e archangels of malic'** ana horror
should be let 100-e a little while and lw al
lowed to extinguish and destroy the sun in
the natural heavens. They would take the
oceans from other worlds and pour them on
this luminary of the planetary system, and
the waters go hi -sing down amid the ravines
and the caverns, and there is explosion after
explosion until there are only a few peaks of
fire left in the sun. and these are cooling
dow n and go:ng out until the vast« ontineote
of flame are reduce d to a small acreage of
fire, and that whitens and »ools otr uutil
there arc only a few coals left, and these are
whitening and going out until there is not a
spark left in all the mountains of ashes and
the valleys of ashes and the chasms of ashes.
An extinguished sun. A dead sun. A buried
sun. I>*t all worlds wail at the stupendous
obsequies.
Cl course this withdrawal of the solar heat
and light throw sour earth into a universal
chill, and the tropics become the temjjerale
and the tempeiato becomes the Arctic, and
there are fro. en rivers and frozen lakes and
froze n oceans. From Arctic* and Antarctic
regions the inhabitants gather iu toward the
center and find the equator as the poles. The
slam forests are piled up into a great bonfire,
and around them gather the shivering vil
lages and cities. The wealth of the coal iniiies
is hastily poured into the furnaces and
stirred into rage of combustion, but som the
bonfires begin to lower and the furna**es tie
gin to go out and the nations begin to die.
Cotopaxi, Vesuvius, Etna, Siiommdi, Cali
fornian geysers cease to sinuke. and the ice
of hail storms remains uiiuieltad in their
craters. A»1 the flowers have breathed tlieir
last livath. Shin* with sailors frozen
at the ma>t an 1 helm-men frozen at the
wheel, and passengers frozen in the cab-in;
ail nations living, first at the north and then
at the south' Chid I routed and dead in the
cradle. Octogenarian frosted and dead at
the hearth. Workmen with frozen hand on
the hammer and frozen foot on the shuttle.
Winter from sea to sea. All congealing win
ter. Perpetual winter. Glote of frigidity.
Hemisphere sha< k!el to hem.sphere by
chains of ice. Universal Nova /end la.
The earth an ice t’oe grinding against other
ice floes. The archange's of malice and hor
ror have done their work, and now they may
take their thrones of glacier and look down
upon the ruin they have wrought.
What the destru tion of the sun in the
natural lieaveus would be to our physi
cal earth, the destruction of Christianity
would be to the moral World. The sun
turned into darkness, infidelity in our time
is considered a ere it joke. There are people
who re o:ce to hear Christianity caricatured,
and to hear Christ assailci with nuibble and
quirk and misrepresentation and buJinage
and harle piin-ide.
i propose this morning to take infidelity
and atheism out ot the realm of jo -ularity
into one of tragedy.and show you what they
propose, and what, if they aiv successful,
they will accomplish. There are these in all
our rormnnmties who would like to -ee the
Christian religion overthrow n, and who say
the w orld would l»e ! cl ‘or without it. 1 want
to show you what is the end of this road,
and what is the terminus of this crusade,
and what this world will lie when atheism
and infidelity have triumphed over it. if they
• an. lsay. it they can. 1 reiterate it, if
they can. '
In the first place, it will be the complete
and unutterable degradation of womanhood.
1 will prove it by facts and arguments which
no hon<st man will dis|»ute. In all com
munities and cities an I states an I nations
where the Christian religion has been domi
nant. woman’s condition lias lie-n ameli
orated and improved, ai.-l she is deferral to
and honored fn a thousand things, ami every
gentleman takes off his hat before her. If
your as>ociatious have been good, you know
that the name of wife, mother, daughter,
suggest gracious surroundings. You know
there are no better schools an I s *tiiinaries in
Brooklvn or in any city of this country than
the schools and seminaries for young ladi<-&
You know that while sNiian may suffer in
justice in England and tie* United States,
she has more of her rig%ts in Christendom
than she has anywhere else.
New, compare this with woman’s condi
tion in lan Is where Christianity has made
little or no advame—in China, in Jiarbnry,
in Fomeo, in Tartary, in Egypt, in Hindu
stan The Burmese sell their wives and
daughters as so many sheep. Th» II ndoo
Bible niak< > 3 it disgracetul and an outrage
for a woman to listen to musk* or look out of
the window in the absence of her husband,
and gives as a lawful ground for divorce a
woman s beginning to eat tafore her husband
has finished his meal. What mean those
white bundles on the ponds and rivers
in China in the morning : Infant;* ide bil
lowing infanticide. Female * liildren de
stroyed simply because they are female.
W oman kanicswd to a plow as an ox. Wo
man veiled nnd barricaded, and in all styles
of cruel seclusion. Her birth a misfortune.
Her life a torture. Her death a horror.
The missionary of the cross to-«lay in
heathen lands preaches generally to two
groups a group of m**n who do as
they please and sit where they please;
tlie oilier group—women hidden and care
fully seclud'd uia side apartment, where they
may hear the voice or the preacher but
may not be seen. No refinement. No lib
erty. No hope for this iife. No hope for the
life to com-. Hinged n««*. Cranifted foot.
Disfigured face. Kmbruted soul. Now com
pare those two«onditious. How far toward
this latter condite-u that f speak of would
woman go if Chriaian uiflu-*n res were with
drawn nod Christinintv were destroyed f It
is only a question of dynamics if an obje t
be lif teal to a c ertain point and not fasten d
there, nnd tlie lifting power b * with Imwrn,
how long ledorethat object will fall down to
the point from which it started.' It wII
fail do«n, and it will go still further than
the point from * hich it stnrte I. Christian
ity has lifted <iom<tn up from th*» very depths
of degradation almod to the skim. If that
lifting power withdrawn sh>* falls dear
back to the de| th fiwn which she was r«**ur
revrtefl. n t going any lower be air— there i«
no lower «lept‘i. And yet, notwithstanding
the fact that the «»nlv salvation of woman
from degradation and woe i** the i hi-.bt Hii
religion, and the only influeno; that ha-ever
lifted her in the so-ial scale is « Thrforianit v -
I have reml that there are women who reject
CbriHtinnitv'. I make no remark in regard
to those person*. I make no remark in re
gard to them. In the Hibwo of your own
soul make your <Jre*rvations.
If infidel it v triumph ant Christianity he
overthrown, it means the demoralizat on of
society. The one i<lea in the Bible th it athe
ists nnd infidel* most hate is the idea of ret
ribution 'lake away the idea of retribu
tfor. and punishment from society, and it
wilt b.*gtn very soon to disintegrate; and
take away from the min is of men the tear
of hell, ntid there are a great, many of tlieni
who would very v*on turn this world into a
hell. The rr ,*i oritv of Utose who are indig
nant against the Bible Im-buw of tlie i*l«*a of
punishment are nren whose lives are bad «*r
wh'**e heirts are impure, and who hate the
Bible hecau'-c of the idea of future pun sli
ment for the «un<* reawin that «vimirmlw hato
the penitentiary, t th, I have IwnH this brave
talk atenit people fearing nothing of the
cons#*|U‘*nreH of sin in tlie next world, and I
have made tin mv mind it is merely a
coward’s whittling to keep bis courage up. I
have seen m«*n flaunt their immorality in
the face of the commiinlty. and 1 have heard
them defy the judgment day and wo(7 at tlie
Idoh of snj future consequence of their «i<t;
hut when thev came to die they shrieked
until you could hear them for nearly two
and in the summer night the neigh
liors got up to put the windows down because
thev could not endure the horror.
1 would not want to see a rail train with
five hundred Christian people on board go
down through a drawbridgq into a watery
grave. I would not want to see five hundred
* hristian people go into such disaster, but I
tell yon plainly that I could more easily see
tliat than I could for any protracted time
stand and see an infidel die, though his pillow
were of eider down nnd under a canopy of
vermilion. I have never been able to brace
up mv nerves for such a spectacle. There is
something at such a t ime so indescribable in
the (‘ountenance. I just looked in unon it for
a minute or two, but the clutch of his fist
was so diabolic, and the strength of voice
was so unnatural, I could not endure ft
“There is no hell, there is no hell, there is no
hell!” the man had said for sixty years; but
that night when I looked in the dying room
of my infidel neighbor, there was something
on his countenance which seemed to say:
“There is. there is. there is, there is.”
The mightiest restraints to-day against
theft, against immorality, against libertin
ism. against crime of all sorts—the mightiest
restraints are the retributions of eternity.
Men know that they can escape the law, but
down in the offender’s soul there is the reali
zation of the fact that thev cannot escape
Clod. He stands at the end of the road of
profliga- w and he will not clear the guilty.
Take all idea of retribution and punishment
out of the hearts and minds of men. and it
would not be long before Brooklvn and New
York nnd Boston and Charleston and Chi
cago became Sodoms. The only restraints
against the evil passions of the world to day
arc Bible restraints*.
Suppose now those generals of atheism
anil infidelity got the victory, and suppose
thev marshaled a groat army made up of the
majority of th rt world. They are in com
panies, in regiments, in brigades—the whole
army. Forward, inarch! ye hosts of infidels
and atheists, banners flying before, banners
flying behind, banners inscribed with the
words: “No Cod! No Christ! No punish
ment! No restraints! Down with the Bible!
Do as you please!” The sun turned into
darkness.
Forward, march! ye great army of infidels
and atheists! And first of all you will attack
tlie churches. Away with thoss houses of
worship! They have t***n standing there so
long and deluding the people with consola
tion in their bereavements and sorrows. All
those churches ought to be extirpated; they
have done so much to relieve the lost and
bring home the wandering, and they have so
long held up the idea of eternal rest after the
paroxysm of this life is over. Turn the Bt
Peters and St. Pauls and the temples ana
tabernacles into club houses. Away with
those churches!
Koward. march! ye great army of in
fidels an I atheist*, an 1 next of all they scat
ter the Sabbath-schools —tlie Sabbath schools
filled with bright eyed, bright cheeked little
ones, who are singing songs on Sunday after
noon. and getting instruction when they
ought to te on the street corners playing
marbles or swearing on the common. Away
with them! Forward, march! ye great army
of infidels and atheists, ami next of all they
will attack Christian asylums—the institu
tions of mercy supported by Christian phi
lanthropies. Never inind the blind eyes and
the deaf ears and the crippled limbs and the
weakened intellects. Let paralyzed old age
pi *k up its own food, and orphans fight their
own way, and the half reformed go back to
tneir evil hibiU. Forward, inarch! ye great
army of infidels and atheists, and with your
battle axes hew down tlio cross and split up
the manger of Bethlehem.
( in. ye great army of infidels and atheists,
and now they come to the graveyard* an 1
the cemeteries of the earth. Pull down the
sculpture above Greenwood’s gate, for it
means the resurrection. Tear away at the
entrance of Laurel Hill the figure of Old
Mortality and the chisel. On, ye great army
of infidels and atheists, into the graveyards
amt the cemeteries; nnd where you see
“Asleep if Jesus,” cut it away, and where
you find a marble story or heaven, blast it,
ami where you find over a little child’s grave:
“Suffer little children to come unto me,”
sub-titute the words •’delusion” and “sham,”
n;:d where you find an angel in marble.strike
oT the wings,and when you come to a family
vault, chisel on the door: “Dead once, dead
forever.”
But on, ye great army of infidels and
atheists, on! '1 hey will attempt to scale
heaven. There are heights to be takeu. Pile
lull -ui hill an l Pelion upon Ossa, and then
t wy hoist the ladders against the walls of
heaven. On and on until they blow up the
foundations of jasper an I the gates of pearl.
They charge up the steep. Now they aim
for "the throne of him who liveth forever
anl ever. They would takedown from their
high place the Father, the Son, the Holy
Ghost. “Down with them!” they say.
“Down with them from the throne!” they
say. “Down forever! Down oat of sight!
He is not God He has no right to sit there.
Down with him! Down with Christ!”
A workl without a head, a universe with
out a king. Orphan constellations. Father
!• s galaxies. Anarchy supreme. A de
throned Jehovah. An assassinated God.
Parricide, regicide, deicide. That is what
they mean That is what they will have, if
they can, if they can. if they can. Civilisa
tion hurled back into semi-liarbarism, and
semi-barbarism driven back into Hottentot
savagery. The wheel of progress turned the
other way, and turned tow anl the dark ages.
The clock of the centuries put back 2000
years. Go back, you Sandwich Islands,from
your schools and from your colleges, and
from your reformed condition, to what you
were'in 1820, when the missionaries first
came. Call home the 500 missionaries from
India anl overthrow their 54U00 schools
when* they are trying to educate the
heathen, and scatter the 140,0 W lit
tle children that they have gathered
out of barbarism into civilization. Ob
literate all the work of Dr. Duff in India,
of David Abeel in China, of I)r. King in
Greece, of Judsou in Burmah, of David
Brainard amid the American aborigines, and
send home the three thousand missionaries
o! the cross who arc toiling in foreign lands,
toiling for Christ's sik», toiling themselves
into the grave. Tell the*e three thousand
in *n of GoJ that they are of no use. Bead
bom? the medical inias onaries who are doc
toring tlie l»o lies a* well as the souls of the
nations Go home, London missionary so
ciety. Go home, American b>ard of foreign
missions. Go home, ye Moravians, and re
liii |ui-h back into darkness and squalor and
tilth mi l death the nations whom ye havei
begun to lift.
( Hi. mv friends, there has never been such
a nefarious plot on enrth as that which infi
delity and atheism have idinned. We were
sho kel a few years ago because of the at
tempt to blow up the parliament houses in
London; but if infidelity and atheism suc
ceed m their attempt tb**v wdll dynamite a
world. let them have tlieir full way and
this world w ill be a habitation of three rooms
—a habitation with just three rooms; the
one a madhouse, another a lazaretto, the
other a pandemonium. These infidel bands
of music have only just begun their concert
-yea, they have only been stringing tlieir
instruments. Ito day put before you their
whole programme from tieginning unto close.
In tli<* theatre Hie tragedy comes first and
the farce afterward; but in this infidel
drama of death tlie farce comes first and the
tragedy afterward. And in the former atbe
i*ls and iufi Ids laugh and mock, but in the
latter God hirm-df w II laugh and mock. He
savseo: “I will laugh nt their calamity and
mok when their sens Cometh.”
From su*-h a ' has n of individual, national,
w*»rUl-wide ruin, stand back. Oh. young
ni'*n, stand I wick from that chasm I You see
Hi** practical drift of my sermon. 1 want
you to know whore that road leads. Stand
iwick from tliat chasm of ruin. The time is
going income tyou and I may not live to see
it. but it will come. Jmt as certainly as there
ih a God. it will come* when the infidels and
the ntli'-ists who o|*ldy and out and out
an I above board preach and practice in
fidelity and ntheisin will be considered as
criminals against society, as they are
now criminals against God. Society
will pu*h out tlie leper, and the wretch with
soul gangrened tod ichorous and vermin
covered and rott n {apart with bis heestiality,
will l« left to die in the ditch and be denied
decani hurial, and men will come with
spod'« and covar up th# carcass, wbers it
falls, that it poison not the air, and the only
text in all the Bible appropriate for the fu
neral sermon will be Jeremiah xxii., 19: “He
shall be buried with the burial of an an.”
A thousand voices come up to me this
morning, saying: “Do you really think in
fidelity will succeed! Has Christianity re
ceived its death blow? and will the Bible
become obwoletef’ Yes. when the smoke of
the city chimney arrests and destroys the
noonday sun. Josephus says about the time
of the destruction of Jerusalem the sun was
turned into darkness; but only the clouds
rolled between the sun and the earth. The
sun went right on. It is the same sun, the
same luminary as when at the beginning it
shot out like an electric spark from God’s
finger, and to-day it is warming the nations,
and to-day it is gilding the sea, and to day
it is filling the earth with light. The same
old sun, not at all worn out, though its light
step* one hundred and ninety million miles a
second, though its pulsations are four hun
dred and fifty trillion undulations in a sec
ond. Same sum, with beautiful white light
made up of the violet and the indigo and the
blue ana the green and the ***& and the yel
low and the orange—the seven beautiful
colors now iust as wnen the solar spectrum
first divided them.
At the beginning God said: “Let there be
light,” and light was, and light is, and light
shall be. So Christianity i* rolling on. and
it is going to warm all nations, and all na
tions are to bask in its light Men may shut
the window blinds so they cannot see
it, or they may smoko the pipe of specu
lation until they are shadowed under their
own vaporing; but the Lord God is a sun!
This white light of the Gospel mode up of
all the beautiful colors of earth and heaven,
violet plucked from amid the spring
grass, and the indigo of the southern
Jungles and the blue of the skies, and
the green of the and the yellow of
the autumnal wood*, and the orange of the
southern groves, and the red of the sunsets.
All the beauties of onrth and heaven brought
out by this spiritual spectrum. Great Brit
ain is going to take all Europe for God. The
United Btates are going to take all America
for God. Both of them together will take all
Asia lor God. All three of them will take
Africa for God. “Who art thou, oh great
mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shall be
come a plain.” The mouth of the Lord hath
spoken it. Hallelujah, amen!
The Working Girin* Friends
41 What class of persons are your best
customers?” asked a reporter for the
Mail and Express of a New York bird
fancier recently.
‘•Shop girls, seamstresses, milliners
and other working women.” was his un
expected reply. “Hich folks buy the
parrots, educated canaries, the rare for
eign birds and the expensive aquaria,
but the pretty working girls are the best
and steadiest buyers of the common
varieties, and without their custom we
should fare badly. We are one with the
florists in that respect.”
“How do you mean?”
“Well, you just ask the florists—l
menu the cheap sidewalk florists of the
market and street corners—who are their
best customers, and you will get the
same answer that I have given you. I
can’t understand it, either.”
“These pets and flowers,” said a mod
est working girl to the rcporler a half
hour later, “they cheer us and w’u should
feel lost without them. Why, we can
almost always tell when one of our com
panions is going wrong, that is, coming
home late, becoming bold any gay and
entertaining longings for dress and orna
ments, by her giving away her pets and
.plants or neglectiug them.”
The canary is by long odds the favor
ite pet with working girls. The little
sky-blue nonpareil birds, as they ate
called, love birds, .lava sparrows and
othcis are well represented. Guinea
pigs and white mice also occasionally
receive their share of fostering attention
in these humble homes. As to flowers,
the hardier, cheaper and prettier of pot
plants ate the most popular. The geran
nium is the mo-t common; then comes
the heliotrope, then the fuschia, and
they also cultivate the wall flower, daisy,
the gilly flower, the primrose, se*c:ial
varieties of the pink, the oxalis or wood
sorrel and whatever w.ll thrive in cir
cumscribed quarters with limited care.
The working girls are often put to their
ingenuity to have their pets and flowers
attended to .luring their absence from
home in the pursuit of their vocation,
especially in cold weather, when the
more delicate specimens arc apt to suffer
severly in the lofty, unwarmed tene
ments if not cared for. Sometimes one
who is too ill to seek her daily work,
but able to be about within doors, will
minister to the wants of a do/cn or more
of such possessions on behalf of com
panions lodging iu the same house.
Sometimes a kind-hearted landlady will
volunteer similar offices for a trifling re
ciprocation in the way of stitching,
mending, or of some cheap but pretty
worsted or cardboard ot n&mcnts for her
vacant walls.
Flowers in China.
The Chinese have a passion for flower*
Tou may see on the hundreds of canals
that cut up the country around Shanghai
boats ivhose dingy and miserable ap
pearance betokens the poveity, even the
beggary, of their occupants, and yet,
near the stern, on top of the saw bang,
or cooking canopy—the “galley”—you
will see from two to a dozen pots of flow
ers. Little Chinese girls nearly always
place a sprig of some bright flower in
their glossy tresses of raven black, and
thev sometimes show a good deal of taste
in the arrangement of their nose gays.
Just about the first of February, or
near the Chinese New Year, one nmy see
men and boys selling branches of a small
bush that bears a yellow flower, some
what resembliug the spicebush flowers of
Virginia. The flower has, to a Chinese,
associations bright and pleasant as those
that clung around the far famed haw
thorn that bloomed in old England ol
“Old C hristmas day.” You can buy in
the market fora few chien or cash a lit
tle flower pot with a few bulbs of daffo
dil iu it. and by keeping it iu the
window of your room soon have a few
bright looking flowers Tlie Chinese do
; not plant in their parks such elaborate
flower beds as the Americans and Euro
peans, but they are very fond of po?
flowers.— Vick's Magazine

Olid Names.
There are many English names re
markable for their oddity. Many of them
it would be hard to classify, or to form
any idea of their origin. Many years ago
the following list was taken from a news
paper giving an account of a political
meeting in a suburb of Philadelphia.
Most of them would seem like fictitious
names made up for some humorous story:
Adam Dialogue, Jacob Juvenal, Jacob
Hollowbush, I)avid Barndollar, John
Hoggerbetz, Anthony Able, George
Limeburner, Peter Fetters, John Perken
pine, Peter Linensheets, John Dicken
sbeets, Barzellai Flick, Frederick Ever
back, Nelson Swallow, Bolomon Sell,
George Crock, Jacob Lightcap, John
Winpenny, John Hodenpillar, Samuel V.
Hex, Jacob Sauserman,-Hichard Slaugh
ter. Samuel Haycock.
Tlie following is a miscellaneous selec
tion : Preserved Fish, Christian Grumb
ling, Sylvanus Shuffiebottom, William
Sheepshanks. It is told of the two gentle
men wearing the last two names, happen
ing to meet in a common friend’s house,
who introduced them to each other say
ing: “Mr. Sheepshanks, Mr. Shuffle
bottom—Mr. Shuffiebottom, Mr. Sheep
shanks,” each seemed to notice the oddity
of the other’s name, and thought that
their friend was jesting, and one of them
curtly asked: “Do you intend to insult
U 8 ?”
Iu Philadelphia, fifty years ago, there
were two distinguished physicians, with
the characteristic names 1 hysic and
Ilartshornc, and later, a dentist by the
name Toothaker. Among the California
teachers there was one by the name
Hattau, a name not as properly appreci
ated now as it would have been fifty or
sixty years ago, when the rattan was
the schoolmaster's sceptre, and the boys
got a lattauing for mischief or negli
gence.
Not many years ago there were in
Boston, New York and Philadelphia
four eminent Unitarian clergymen, by
ihe names Bellows, Furness, Sparks and
Burmap. These fiery and suggestive
names, were, in this case, very inappro
priate, as none of them were believers
in Gehenna, amd all of them with char
acters the opposite of their names.
Not long ago there was a sign in St.
Louis hearing the inscription: “Swindler,
Dealer iti Heal Estate,” a name which
might have deterred a superstitious
person from investing his money with
one whose character might accord with
his name. Chicano Current.
Where It Got Its Name.
Many persons have wondered how do
ing a lively galop got to be called
“dancing the racquet.” Mrs. Simmons,
a well known young lady of Washington,
composed a few years ago a galop and
was at a loss to give it a name. One day
being disturbed by childred in the room
she called out: “Don’t make such a
racket,” which was taught up and re-
} tested by the children as they wentout.
t occurred to her that it was a good
name for her piece, and so with s touch
of French she called itthc Kacquet Galop,
and over 200,000 copies of it have been
•oik. —Philadclpkia Times.

-0 decry the ir.eKtmmble value of iodine in motl
trn medicine may deceive and iniHleatl Ihe igno
rant, but is truly ridiciilouH to physicians and
otlier btndeutsof mctlical science. It is a base
characteristic of quackery to promulgate such
falsity, ami with financial gain an only object, w
indeed tliHit putable. In the cure of the worst
form of 1 flood Poison, lodide of I’otnsh is indis
pensable—a fact acknowledged by all intelligent
physicians—-combined (as in the ease of li.
li. li.) with certain vegetable ingredients every
fault of the drug is removed, and it does not dis
order the stomach or clog the kidneys.

Two gentlemen were conversing in the
United Btates Circuit Court room, says
the New York Telegram, when one,
pointing to Lawyer Gifford, who is coun
sel iu a patent suit involving $4,000,000
or $ ».000,000, said:
“How man rooms do you suppose there
arc in that man’s house?”
The other gentleman would be blessed
if he knew, and then asked how many.
“One hundred and eleven,” was the
reply. Man No. “ sin led, sa d that was
one on him, and asked if the house wa*
a hotel.
“No, no!” excla’med man No. 1.
“There’s no hotel about it. He lives in
hisown private dwelling on Jersey City
Heights. I don’t know what they do
with so many rooms; suppose they en
teitaiu a great deal. This is the way
they came about:
“Mr. Gifford’s father, Livingston Gif
ford, the eminent patent lawyer, had s
hobby for building a new room. Every
time he won a case he built a new room.
Thus the dwelling gradually grew, from
extensions to wings, until it reached its
present hotel dimensions. Now the
house is as big as a New England village,
and the stranger needs a pocket compass
and calcium light to find his room.”
