Text : " Wif1r,n is bet'er than rubies."
rrovt-rb viii., 11.
You have all seein the precious ston com
monly called the ruby. It ia of deep re-1
color. The Bible makes much of iU It
flowed in the first row of tho high JifieEtvs
(.renst plate. Under another toamo it Ptood
in the wall of heaten, Jereratah compares
the ruddy cheek of the Ntu-ifites to the ruby.
Ezekid points it out ia the roSes of the kinp
of Tyre. Four times does Kolomon use it as
a symliol by which to extol wisdom or relig
ion, nlways setting its value as better than
rubif-F.
The world tioes not agree a to how the
precious atones were formed. The ancients
thought that amber w.is rnado of drops of
pcrspirioa he go.l.hsss G. Th thun
derstonn was siif .osed to have draped from
a stormcloud. The emerald wan said to
have been made of the fin: fly. The lapis
lazuli was thought to have been born of the
ry of an Indian giant. And modern min
eralogists say that the precious stones were
made of gases and liquids. To me the ruby
seems like a spark from the auvil of the set
ting mid.
The homo of the genuine ru'iy is IJurmah,
and sixty miles from its capital, where lives
and reigns the ruler, called "Lord of the
Rubies." Under a careful Governmental
guard are these valuable mines of ruby kept.
Rarely has any foreigaer visite I them. When
a ruby-of larK'e value was diseovered, it was
brought forth with elaborate ceremony, a
profession was formed, and. with all ban
nered pomp, military guard aud princely at
tendants, the gem was brought to tho king's
palace.
Of great value is tho ruby, muh more so
than diamond, as lapidaries and jewelers
will tell you. An expert on thisi subject
writes, "A ruby of perfect color weighing
five carats Is worth at tftn present day ten
times as much as a diamond of equal weight."
It was a disaster when Charles tho Hold lost
tho ruby ho was wearing at tho battle ot
Grandson. It was a great affluence when
liudolph II of Austria inherited a ruby from
his sister, the queen dowager. It was thought
to have had much to do with the victory of
Henry V. as ho woro i. into tho battle of
Aincoiirt.
It is the pride of tho Russian court to own
the largest ruby of the world, presented by
Gustavus III to the Russian Empress. Won
drous ruby: It has electric characteristics,
and there are lightnings compressed in its
double six sided prisms. What shall I call
it? It is frozen fire! It is petrified blood!
In all the world thoro is only one thing more
valuable, and mytext makes the coaip.irisou,
'Wisdom is better than rubies."
Rut it is impossible to compare two things
together unless there are some points of sim
ilarity as well as of difference. I am glad
there is nothing lacking here. Tho ruby is
more beautiful in the night and under the
lamplight than by day. It ia preferred for
evening adornment. IIow the rubies glow
and burn and flash as the lights lift the dark
ness ! Catherine of Aragou had oa her finger
a ruby that fairly lauterned the night.
Sir John Mandeville, the celebrated trav
eler if 100 years ago. s iid that tho Emperor
of China had :i ruby that made the night as
bright as day, The probability is that Solo
mon, under somoof the lamps that illumined
his cedar palac by night, noticed tho pecu
liar glow of the ruby ns it looked in the hilt
of a sword, or hung in porno fold of the up
holstery, or beautified tise lip of somcchalice.
whilo ho was thinking at the same time of
the excelleuey of our holy religion as chiefly
seen in tho night of trouble, and he criesout,
''Wisdom is better than rubies."
Oh. yets, it is a good th-ng to have religion
whilo the sun of prosperity rides high and
everything is brilliant in iortune, in health,
in worldly favor. Yet you can at such time
hardly tell how much of it is natural exuber
ance and how much of it is thegr.ico of God.
Rut let the sun sot. and the shadows ava
lanche the plain, and tho thick darkness of
sickness or poverty or persecutiou or mental
exhaustion till tho soul and till the house
and fill the world ; then you sit down by tho
lamp of God's word, and under its light tho
consolations of tho gospel come out ; tha
peace of God which passcth all understand
ing appears. You never fully appreciate I
their power until in the deep night of trouble
the Divine Lamp revealed their exquisite
ness. l'earls and amethysts for tho day, but
rubies for tho night.
All of tho books of tho Bible attempt in
some way tho assuagement of misfortune.
Of tho 150 psalms of Itavid at least ninety
allude to trouble. There are sighings in
every wind, and tears in every brook, and
pangs in every heart. It was originally pro
pos.Ml to call tho President's residence at
Washington "The Palace ' or i-tho Execu
tive Mansion," but after it was destroyed in
the war of lHlland rebuilt in was painted
white to cover up tho marks of tho smoke
and lire that had blackened the stonewalls.
Hence it was called '"The White House."
Most of things now white with attractiveness
were once black with disaster.
What the world most needs is tho consola
tory, and here it comes, our holy religion,
with both hands full of anodynes and seda
tives and balsams, as in Daniel's time to stop
mouths leonine; as in Shadrach's timo to
cool blast furnaces ; as in Ezekiel's time to
console captivity; as in St. John's timo to
unroll an apocalypse over rocky desolations.
Hear its soothing voice as it declares:
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy
cometh in tho morning." "Tho montains
shall deoart and the hills be removed, but
My lovins: kindness shall not depart from
you." "Whom the Lord loveth Ho chas
teneth." "They shall hunger no more,
neither thirst any more, neither shall the
sun light on them, nor any heat, for tho
Lamb which is in the midst of the throuo
shall load them to living fountains of water,
and God shall wipe away all tears from their
C3-es."
The most wholesome, thing on earth is
trouble, if met in Christian spirit. To make
Paul what he was it took ship wreck, and
whipping onthe bare back, and penitentiary,
and pursuit of wild mobs, and tho sword of
decapitation. To make David what he was
it took all that Ahithophel and Saul and Ab
salom and Goliath and all tho Philistine
hosts could do against him. It took Robert
Chambers's malformation of feet to make
him the literary conqueror.
It was bereavement that brought William
Ha worth, of Wesley's time, from wickedness
to an evangelism that won many thousands
for heaven. Tho world would never have
known what heroic stuff Ridley was made of
had not the fires been kindied around his
feet, and not liking this slow work he cried
"I cannot burn. Let the tire come to mo. I
cannot burn." Thank God that there are
gems that unfold their best glories under tho
lamplight ! Thank God for the ruby.
Moreover, I am sure Solomon was right in
saying that religion or wisdom is better thau
rubies, from tho fact that a thing is worth
what it will fetch. Religion will fetch solid
happiness, and the ruby will not. In a' I
your observation did you ever find a person,
thoroughly felicitated by an iuerustment of
jewels? As'you know more of yourself than
any ono else, are you happier now with
worldly adornments and successes than be
fore you won them? Does the picture that
cos! you hundreds or thousands of dollars on
your wall bring you as much satisfaction as
the engraving that at tha expense of $5 was
hung upon the wall when you first began to
keep house?
Do all the cutlery and rare plate that glit
ter on your extension diuintr table, surround
od by flattering guests, contain more of rea
bliss than the plain ware of your first table,
at which sat only two? Does a wardrobe
crowded with costly attire give you more
satisfaction thau your first clothes closet
with its four or five pegs? Did not the plaiii
ring set on the third linger of the left hand
on the dav ot your betrothal give more glad
ness than tho ruby that is now enthroned oii
the third tluger of your right hand?
It in tnis journey ot life we have learned
nnything, we have learned that this world,
neither with its emoluments nor gains, can
satisfy the sonl. Why, here come as many
witnesses as I wish to call to the stand to
testify that before high heaven and the
world, In companionship with Jesus Christ
and a good hope of heaven, they feel a joy
that all the resources of their vocabn la ry fail
to express. Sometimes it evidences itself Jn
ejaculations ot hosanna ; sometimes in doxol
ogy ; sometimes in tears. A converted na
tive of India in a letter said : "How I lone
lor my oea, not tn r,t t may sleep I lie awake
often and long but to hold sweet eemmu
nlon with my God.'1
tt so mighty i- worldly joy that Julius IL
hearing hi9 ofmles were triumphant, ex
pired and if Talva, hearing that the Roman
senate had decreed him an honor, expired,
auoir iuonysbis and "SoDhoeiea.
joy, expired, and if a shipwrecked pur
ser waiting on the coast of Guinea in want
and starvation at the sight of a vessel
r anging relief, fell dead from shock of de
light, is it any surprise to you that the joys
of pardon and heaven rolling over the soul
should sometimes be. almost too much for
the Christian to endure and live? An aged
r;flfai'V, ?e" Witt, three times I
hae fainted dead away under too creat
Christian joy. It was in all three cases at
tho holy communion."
An eminent Christian man while in prayer
said : "Stop, Lord ; I cannot bear any moro
of this gladness. It is too much for mortal
Withhold t withhold !" We have heard of
poor workmen or workwomen getting a let
ter suddenly telling them that a fortune had
been left them, and how they were almost
besido themselves with glee, takintr the first
snip to claim the estate, L ji, oh, what it ii
to wake up oat r,f the stupor of a sinful llfo,
and through pardoning grace find that all
our earthly existence will bo divinelv man
aged for our beit welfare, and that then all
heaven will roll in upon the soul !
Compared with that a spring morning is
stupid, and an August sunset is Inane, and
aurora has no pillared splendor, and a dia
mond has no flash, and a pearl no light, and
a bery no aquamarine, and a ruby no ruddi
ness. My gracious Lord! My glorious
God ! My precious Christ ! Roll over on us
a few billows ofthit rapture. And now
I ask you, as fair minded men and women,
accustomed to make comparisons, is not
such a joy as that worth more than anything
ono can have in a jeweled casket ? Was not
Solomon right when he said, "Wisdom is bet
ter thaa rubies?"
There is also something ia the deep car
mine of the ruby that suggests tho sacrifice
on which our whole system of religion de
pends. While tho emerald suggests tho
meadows, and the sapphire the skies, and
the opal the sea, the ruby suggests the blood
of sacrifice. The most emphatic and start
ling of all colors has the ruby. Solomon, the
author of mytext, knew all about the sacri
fice of lamb and dove on the altars of the
temple, and he knew the meaning of sacri
fleia! blood, and what otbr precious stone
could ho so well use to symbolize it as the
ruby? Red, intensely red. red as tho blood
of the greatest martyr of all time Jesus of
the centuries ! Drive the story of the cruci
fixion cut of the Bible and the doctrine of
the atonement out of our religion, and there
would be nothing of Christianity left for our
worship or our admiration.
Why should it be hard to adopt the Bible
theory that our redemption was purchased
by blood? What great bridge ever sprung it?
arches, what temple ever reared its towers,
what Nation ever achieved its independence,
what mighty good was ever done without
sacrifice of life? Tho great wonder of tho
world, tho bridge that unites these two cities,
cost the life of the first architect. A?k the
shipyards of Glasgow and New York how
many carpenters went down under accidents
before the steamer was launched ; ask the
three great transcontinental railroads how
many in their construction were buried un
der crumbling embankments or crushed un
der timbers or destroyed by the powder blast.
Tabulate thestatisticsof how many mothers
have been martyrs to the cradle of sick chil
dren. Tell us how many men s icrificed nervo
and muscle andj brain and life in the effort
to support their households. Tell us how
many men in England, in France, in Ger
many, in Italy, in tho United States, have
died lor their country. Vicarious suffering
is as old as the world, but the most thrilling,
tho most startling, the most stupendous
sacrifice of all time and eternity was on a
bluff back of Jerusalem when one Being took
upon Himself the sins, the agonies, the per
dition of a great multitude that no man can
number between 12 o'clock of u darkened
noon and 3 o'clock in the afternoon, purchas
ing the ransom of a ruined world.
Dive in all the seas, explore all the mines,
crowbar all tho mountains, view all tho
crowned jewels of all tho emperors, and And
mo any gem that can so overwhelmingly
symbolize that martyrdom as the ruby.
Mark you, there are many gems that aro
somewhat liko the ruby. So is the cornelian,
so is tho garnet, so is the spinel, so is the
balas. so tho gems brought from among the
gravels of Ceylon and Now South Wales, but
thcro is only ono genuino ruby, and that
comes from tho mino of Rurmab. Andthere
is only ono Christ, and Ho comes from,
heaven. Ono Redeemer, ono Ransom, one
Son of God, only "one name given under
heaven among men by which wo can bo
6aved."
Ten thousand times 10,000 beautiful imita
tions of that ruby, but only one ruby. Christ
had no descendant. Christ had no counter
part. In the lifted up grandeur and glory
and love and sympathy of His character Ho
is tho Incomparable, the Infinite One! "The
only wise God, our Saviour." Let all hearts,
all homes, all times, all eternities, bow low
before Him 2 Let His banner be lifted in all
our souls !
In olden times Scotland was disturbed by
freebooters and pirates. To rid the seas
and ports of these desperadoes the hero
William Wallace fitted out a merchant ves
sels, but filled it with armed men and put
out to sea. The pirates, with their flag in
scribed of a death's head, thinking they
would get an easy prize, bore down upon
the Scottish merchantman, when tho armed
men of Wallace boarded the craft of the
pirates and put them in chains and then
sailed for port under tho Scotch flag flying.
And to our souls, assailed of sin and death
and hell, through Christ are rescued, and
the black flag of sin is torn down, and the
striped flag of the cross is hoisted. Blessed
be God for any sign, for any signal, for any
precious stone that brings to mind the price
paid for such a rescue.
I like the coral, for it seems tho solidified
foam of breakers, and I liko tho jasper, for
it gathers seventeen colors into its
bosom, and I like the jet, for it compresses
tne snaaows ot many mtamgnts, and 1 like
the chrysoprase because its purple is illu
mired with a small heaven of stars, anil
like tho chrysolite for its waves of color
which seem on fire. But this morning noth
ing so impresses me as the ruby, for it de
picts, it typifies, it suggests "Tho blood of
Jesus Christ that cleanseth from all sin."
Without the shedding of Moo i there is no
remission." Yea, Solomon was right when
in my text he said, "Wisdom ia better thau
rubies."
To bring out a contrast that will illustrate
mytext, I put before you two last earthly
scenes. The one is in a room with rubies,
but no religion, and the other in a room
with religion, but no rubies. You enter tho
lirst room, where an affluent and worldly
man is about to quit this life. There is a
ruby on tho mantel, possibly among the
vases. There is a ruby in the headdress of
the queenly wife.
On tho finger of the dying man there is a
ruby. The presence of these rubies implies
opulence of ad kinds. The pictures on tho
walls aro heirlooms or the trophies of Eu
ropean travel. The curtains aw from foreign
looms. Tho rugs are from Damascus or
Cairo. The sofas are stuffed with easi and
quietude. The rocking chairs roll back
ward and forward on lullabies. The pillows
are exquisitely embroidered. All the ap
pointments of tho room aro a peroration to a
successful commercial or profession il life.
But th", man has no religion, never has ha i
and ne. sr professed to have. Ther-y is not
a Bible cr one religious book in the roo u.
Th? dep-.rting man feels that his earthlv
career is enaec. ana notning opens beyond.
Where he will land stepping off from this life
is a mystery, or whether he will land at all,
for it may be annihilation. He has no
prayer to offer, and he does not know how to
praj. - No hop of meeting again in another
state of existence. Hals through with this
life and is sure of no other. The ruby on
the mantel and the ruby on. the wasted fin
ger of the departing one say nothing of the
ransoming blood which they so mightily
typify. So far as giving solace or illumina
tion to a departing spirit, they are a dead
failure. Midnight of utter hopelessness
drops on all the scene.
Another room of mortal exit. Religion
and no rubies. She never had money enough
to buy one of these exquisites. Sometimes
she stopped at a jeweler's show window and
saw a row of them Incarnadining the velvet.
She had keen taste to appreciate those gems,
but she never owned one of them. She was
not jealous or nnhappy because others had
rubies while she had none. But she had a
richer treasurer, and that was the grace ot
God that had comforted her aloiig the way
amid bereavements and temptations and per
sscntions and sickness and privations and
trials of all sorts. Now she is going out of
life.
The reom is bright, not with pictures or
statues, not with upholstery not with any of
the gems of mountain or of sea, but thera is
a strange and vivid glow in the room. Not
the light of the chandelier or star or noon
day sun. but something that outshines aH of
them. It must be the presence of Miier
naturals. from her illumined face I think
she must hear sweet voices. Yea, she does
hear sweet voices voices of departed kin
oren, voices apostolic and prophetic and
evangelic, but all of them overpowered bv
the voiceof Christ, saying, "Come, yeb!essd
of My Father, inherit the kingdom."
From her illumined face, I think she must
hear rapturous music. Yea, she does hear
rapturous music, now soft as solo3, now
thunderous as orchestras; now a saintly
voice alone, now the hundred and forty and
four thousand in concert. From her illu
mined face, I think she must breathe redol
ence. Yea, she does inhale aroma from off
the gardens Whoso flowers never wither and
from the blossoms of orchards, every tr-e of
which bears twelve manner of fruit. From
her illumined face, I think sho must see a
u o'rious sight. Yea, she sees the wall thit
has jiisper at the base and amethyst at flic
top and blood red rubies between. Goo Ibv,
sweet soul ! Why should you longer stav?
Your work all done, your burdens ail carried,
your tears all wept I Forward into tho
light Up into the joy' Out into the
grandeurs! And after you havo srxluted
Christ and your kindred, search out him of
the palaces of Lebanon cedar and tell him
that you have found to be gloriously true
What thousands of years ago he asserte 1 in
this morning's text, "Wisdom is better than
rubies."
Iu those burnished palaces of our Go 1 may
we all meet. For I confess to you ttmt my
chief desire for heaven is not the r.idiauce,
or. to take the suggestion of the text, not tho
rubescence of the soene. My one idea of
heaven is the place to meet old friends. Go ).
our best friend, and our earthly friends a'
realy transported. Aye, to meet tho millions
whom I have never seen, but to whom I
have administered in tho gospel week by
week by journalism on both sid"3 of the suj.
and throughout Christendom, and through
many lands yet semibarbaric.
For the last twenty-threo years every blast
of injustice against me has multiplied my
readers all the world over, and the present
malignancy printed and uttered becauo our
church is in financial struggle after h iviu
two great structures destroyed by fire an I
we compelled to build three large churches
I say the present outrageous injustice in
some quarters will multiply my audience in
all lands if I can keep in good hum r and
not fight back.
A gentleman tapped me on tho shoulder
summer before last on a street of Edinburgh,
Scotland, and said, "I live in the Shetland
Islands, North Scotland, and I read your scr
nons every "Sabbath to an audience of ueig'i
ors. and my brother lives in Cap Town,
South Africa, and he reads them every Sab
atii to an audience of his neighbors." An 1
hear and now say to the forty millions of
the earth to whose eyes these words will
.o me, that one of my dearest anticipations
is to meet them in heaven. Ah, that will be
better than rubies.
Coming up from different continents, irom
different hemispheres, from opposite sides
of tho earth, to greet each other in holy love
iuthe presence of the glorious Christ who
made it possible for us to get ther.. Our
sins all pardoned, our sorrows all
banished, never to weep. never to
p:rr, never to die! I tell you
t hat will be better than rubies. Others may
have the crowns, and the thrones, an I tho
scepters ; give us our old friends back agiiu,
Christ, "the friend who sticketh closer than
a brother," and all the kindred who have got
up from our bereft households, and all our
friends whom we have never yet seen . and
you may have all tho rubies, for that will bo
"better than rubies."
Instead of the dying kiss when they looke 1
so pale and wan and sick.it would b? the
kiss of welcome on lips jubilant with song,
while standing on floors paved with what ex
quisitenes3, under ceilings hung wiCi wirit
glory, bounded by walls facing us with what
splendor, amid gladness rolling over us with
what doxology far better, infinitely better,
everlastingly better than rubies !

THE KBARSARQB MIST.
THE OLD WARSHIP FOUNDERS
OFF R0N0AD0R REEF.
She Was on Her Way From Port-au-Prince
to Nicaragua to Protect
American Interests There All of
th Officers and Crew Saved Her
Famous Hat tie With the Alabama
The most famous ship of the United States
n:tvil service the old corvette Kearsargc
has gone to the bottom. Tho Btory of her
loss was told to Secretary Herbert in a brief
cable message which he received from Lieu
'.enant Frederick Brainard, officer ot tho
vessel, dated at Colon. Lieutenant Brain
ard reached Colon and immediately sent
the message to the Secretary, in substance as
follows :
"Kearsarge sailed from Port-au-Prince,
Hayti. January 30. for Bluellelds. Nicaragua.
Was wrecked on Ronca lor Reef February 2.
Officers and crew safe."
Immediately on receipt of the cablegram
Secretary Herbert sent a message to Lieu
tenant B.-ainard direv-tiug him to charter
a vessel at Colon and proceed at once
to .the assistance of the shipwrecked
men. An answer came quickly from
Lieutenant Brainard that the mail 6teamer
City of Para was available, and it is sup
posed at the Navy Department that the
vessel already on her way to the relief of
the shipwrecked meu. Lieutenant Brainard
was directed to engage themail steamer to
stop at the reef and take 'the men off, or
to secure any available vessel witl out de
lay. Ronoador Reef is abou 250 miles
from Colon, a .lay's journey for the City of
Para. It is expected that tho steamer nll
have Admiral Stanton and his men in some
port within two or three days. There is no
anxiety at the Naval Department over the
safety of the shipwrecked people. There
is plenty of provisions iu the wreck of
the Kearsarge, which is probably high
and dry on the reef. Old Providence
Island is seventy-five miles only from
Roncador, and could be reached
easily in small boats ; or, if it wero missed,
the Kearsarge' men could get to the Mos
quito coast, a belt of tho Nicaraugua coast
line. It was on Roncador Reef that tha
steamer Aguan was wrecked while the Hon.
Warner Miller and other Nicarauguan Canal
capitalists were on board.
Tho Kearsarge has been continuously In
the naval service for thirty-two years. She
was built in Kittery, Me., in 1861, and was
commissioned tho next year.
The Kearsarge was the flagship of the
North American staf ion, to the command ot
which Acting Roar Admiral Stanton. who was
detached from the command of the South At
tantie station for saluting Admiral Mello in
Rio harbor, was assigned.
Tho Kearsarge was one of the historical
vessels of tho American Navy. Sho it was
which, on Sunday, June 19, 1864, fought and
suak tho Confederate privateer Alabama oft
Cherbourg, France.
The Alabama, which was commanded by
Captain Semmes, had captured or destroyed
a large number ot Union merchantmen.
Finally tho pursuit of her became
so hot ou the American coast that
she sailed for the Capo of Good Hope
and cruised in the Eastern seas. Subsequently
s;.ie returned, arriving in the English Chan
nel in June, 1S64. and ou tho 11th of that
month she entered the French port of Cher
bourg to refit and supply herslf with stores.
Within a few days the Kearsarge arrived.
She was commanded by Captain Winslow, a
former shipmate of Captain S nnraes.
The Kearsarge made a demonstration off
the port which the commander of the Ala
bama took to be a challenge. Ho sent notice
to the United States Consul that he would
sail out and fight tho Kearsarge. The two
ships in appearance wero not unequally
matched, but the Kearsarge had a larger crew
and was better armo 1 than tho Alabama.
She was besides protected amidships by
armor. The fight took place on Sunday,
June 19, off Cherbourg, all inhabitants of
that place watching it from tho neighboring
heights.
The result of tho battle is well known. Be
fore the contest had lasted an hour Captain
Sonimes found the ship sinking and gave or
ders to haul down the flag. The boats wera
got out and tho wounded placed iu thorn,
but before the Kcirsarge could come to tho
rescue tho Alabama went to tho bottom.
The boats of the Kearsarge saved many of
the Alabama's crew. Others, including Cap
tain Semmes, were picked up by the English
yacht Dcerhound, which had been allowed
by tho Captain of the Kearsarge to help in
rescuing the Alabama's crow-
ANARCHIST OUTRAGE.
A Bomb Kxploded With Fatal Effect
in Paris.
Leon Breton, a young Frenchman, fired
by a desire to avenge Vaillant, exploded a
bomb in a cafe under the Hotel Terminus,
opposite the railway station at St. Lazare,
Taris.
Fifteen persons were seriously wounded
and half a dozen who were passing on the
sidewalk wero hit and slightly injured by
flying fragments.
The cafe was filled with people and a band
was playing. Suddenly a man at one of tho
tables on tho outside arose and threw some
thing into the middle of the room. It landed
upon a table at which a merry party was sit
ting, and a loud explosion followed.
When the smoke cleared away many ot the
people in the cafe lay on the floor, several
of them bleeding ami moaning.
Breton had been sitting on the outside ol
the cafe, partaking of refreshment. No par
ticular notice was taken of him. as his actions
were not such as to attract attention. As ho
was leaving he threw the bomb, aiming at the
electric light chandelier. The explosion
shivered the plate-glass front of the place,
destroyed one marble-top table, overturned
others, and smashed glassware and plates,
their fragments flying in all directions.
As soon as he threw the bomb Breton
rushed toward the Rtte do Rome. An omni
bus was passing the cafe and a policeman
sitting on top of it jumped to the ground and
ran Breton to earth a few yards up tha Rue
de Rome.
Breton turned on the policeman, revolver
in hand, and flred. The policeman grabbed
him ami both fell. While on the ground
Breton fired another shot and struck a woman
passing. The woman fell to the ground,
mortally wounded.
In the meantime a crowd had collected, at
tracted by the shots. The policeman who
had grabbed Breton had been badly wounded
by Breton's first shot and was unable to hold
on to his prisoner, and the latter, still
brandishing his revolver, regained his feet
and was likely to do further mischief.
The people, a large part of whom bad fol
lowed Breton from the cafe, were furious
and seemed inclined to lay hands upon htm.
They believed the explosion was the work
of an Anarchist, and they clamored for his
lynching. The sight of the revolver re
strained them at first, but finally, headed by
another policeman, they rushed forward to
secure him.
Breton again attempted to use his revolver,
but the policeman cut him over the face with
his sabre, staggering him. He was then ar
rested. The mob again demanded that he be
lynched, and probably would have carried
out their intention had not a strong force of
police arrived.
The bomb was in the form of a sardine box,
and contained a chlorate powder and pieces
of lead of the size of cherries.

IT RAGED FROM NEW YORK
TO OMAHA.

wardSnow, Sleet and Ills' Old
Winds.
A blizzard nearly flvo times great r in Its
area than tho historic storm of M ir -h, 1SW,
swept up from th Southw-'st and rae-1 with
great severity throughout the Northern,
Eastern and Western States. Its front wru
a thousand mile wide. From Virginia
southward the country was wet, from Vir
ginia northward it was white.
New York escaped anything like the sever
ity of IKK, but tn snowfall was easily t lie
greatest of the season, and the enow and
moderate wind of early afternoon heeanm
hail and wind of cyclonic force at midnight.
The storm area was a va-sf, Irregular p-r,
Its southern edge resting upon Florid.-i.it
northern boundary at F. istport. Me , reach
ing Davenport. Iowa. t th westward and
falling far off tho Long I-lau I coast to tho
eastward. The tenia storm passed olT t. tho
eastward of tho Delaware Capes and centred
beyond them.
A new storm centre was then formed in the
rear of the first disturbance, its centre bom
between Cleveland, )hio, and Detroit, Mich.,
with an unusual snowfall in all tho country
theroaliouts.
In New York City it Hogged tip the sir-t
railways, and it was with much difficulty
that the cars could b. dragged over the hid
den rails. The surface cars went by in tow
of four horses, and the cable lines were
taxed to their utmost capacity. The section
of tho Third avenue cable r. ad from Sixf h
street to tho Post office was where
the effects of the storm were
most felt. Th wagons all the way down
the avenue delayed the cars at intervals, and
many of the passengers, becoming disgusted
With the long wails at eve -y few blocks, got
nut and walked. From G -and street to the
City Hall the elevated railroad tracks formed
a sort of dark tuiiuel, an 1 to prevent acci
dents guards with red lanterns were sta
tioned along tho truck to warn the gripiliell
when anything was in the wnv.
Traffic of all kinds was impeded and the
inconv mieuce to pedestrians was so groat
that noun but those who were compelled to
ventured on the streets. Kailroad traffic was
demoralized. All the trains wore behind
time and the mails from tho South and
West, where the storm got in its
fine work, were greatly delayed.
Great difficulty w.-is experienced in
getting iu telegraph message from th
South and West. Tho storm played havoc
with tho trolley cars iu Brooklyn. Jersey
City, Newark and the suburbs. Those in
Long Island City were almost completely
stopped. Those who returned to Long
Island City after the theaters let out b id to
walk home. The snow plows in us- made
little headway against the storm.
fin the Long Island and Now Jersey shores
the storm had a free sweep. The sea cre
ated by the wind dashed high upon the
beaches and did considerable .la mag".
All along the shore of Lake Erie tho storm
raged with groat fury, and. tho heavy off
shore wind, in driving tho w iter with tre
mendous force up the lake, caused the cut
ting off of the eutiro water supply from the
city of Dunkirk, N. Y. One could walk out
dry shod to the nearest crib, which is six
hundred feet from shore to shore, and at the
outer crib, fifteen hun ire 1 feet from shore,
tho usual depth of nine feet of water was
reduced to throe) feet, leaving the in-tako
pipe above water.
Reports from along the Hudson River near
Kingston say that large forces of men wero
put to work storing tho ice crop, but that
owing to the severity of the storm work had
to be suspended.
Tho blizzard was tho worst whidi ever
struck Chicago. III., so far asthe Weather
Bureau records show for twenty-three
years. Street traffic was greatly impeded,
and walking was accompanied with groat
danger to life and limb. Many persons were
injured by being blown to tho ground. against
walls and street posts by the wind. The
velocity was eighty miles an hour. At
the corners where "sky scrapers" are
built, especially the Monaduook and Annex
block, dozens of women were lifted off their
feet ami blown to the ground, or else pushed
across the street until they came in violent
contact with walls, posts and other obstruc
tions. The driving snow made signals on
railroad tracks practically useless and caused
a collision between two freight trains on tho
Lake Shor. tracKS near Seventy-ninth street
and Stony Island avenue about noon.
The worst snow storm in years raged all
over Kansas and Missouri, and not a single
train in the two States was on time. The
snow averaged from a foot to tw toot on
tho level. High winds accompanied it and
at some points in cuts it is twenty or thirty
feet deep. At many places tho s-hools were
closed. In towns with strot.-t railways the
service was paralyzed. This was particularly
true of Kansas City. Leavenworth, Topeka
and Fort S-ott. The snow was dry and tho
telegraph service was not injured.
Nebraska wa- snowbound in the strictest
sense of the word. For twenty-four hours a
terriffi.; blizzard prevailed throughout the
State, piling tho snow in enormous drifts.
With few exceptions Omaha traffic of every
description was suspend" I. Trains in every
direction were abandon"'!. Reports from the
interior show sto'-k in good condition, ud
farmers are pleased with tho Immense snow
fall, ns it assures a lino winter wheat crop.
Advices from the interior of Wisconsin are
to the effect that tho storm raged every where
and that railway travel was considerably im
peded. A high wind-storm p.issl through Central
and Southwestern Kentucky. Reports of
damage aro received from many interior
points.
The storm raged violently all over Ohio.
In a blinding snowstorm, which raged
all the morning, freight train N. 10, west
bound, and eat bound light freight No. 25
on tho Wheeling and Lake Erio Railroad
came into collision two mibfi went of Blle
vue. Ohio. Both engines and several freight
cars were smashed and pilee up in confusion.
Both engineers, a fireman and a biakcnau
were killed.
