In this day, when vast BTjm3 ot money
nrebttint: given for the redemption of In
dia. I hopo to increase tho interest in that
great country and at the same time draw
for all clash's of our people practical les
8Dn?, nnd so I present this fifth sermon in
thu round the world series. We step into
the ancient cap'tal ot India, the mere pro
nunciation of its name sending ft thrill
through the l.ody, mind and soul of all
those who have ever read its etortea of
splendor and disaster and prowess Delhi.
Before the lirst historian impressed his
first word in clay, or cut hi3 first word on
marble, or wrote his first word on papyrus,
Delhi stoo 1 in India, a contemporary ot
15 thylou and Nineveh. We know that Delhi
existed lontrer before Christ's time than we
liv j after His time. Delhi is built on the
ruins of sevn cities, which ruins cover forty
mile?", with wrecked temples, broken
fortresses, split tonnbs, tumble down palaces
and the debris of centuries. An archeo!osrist
could profitably speu I hU lite here talking;
with tho past tbrouirii its lips of venerable
masonry.
There are a hundred things here you
ouiit to see in this city of Delhi, but three
thiols vou munt see. The first thing I want
e 1 to see was the Cashmere gate, for that
was the point at which the most wonderful
deed of daring which the world has ever
B en was rtone. That was the turning point
of the mutiny of 1857. A lady at Delhi put
into my hand an oil painting of about eight
een inches square, a picture well executed,
but chiefly valuable for what it repre
feented. It was a scene from the time of
I mutinv : two horses at full run, har.
nebseil to a carriage in which were four
persons. She s?aid : "Thoso persons on
the lront side are my father and mother.
The young lady on the back seat hold
ing in her nrins a baby of a year wa3
my older sister, and tho baby was my
sel". My mother, who is down with a
fever in tne next room, painted 'bat
years ng. The horses are in full run
because we are fleeing for our Hve3. My
mot Her is driviug, for the reason that father,
standing up in the front of his carriage, had
t.- defend us with his gun, as you there see.
He fought our way out and on for many a
mile, shooting down the sepoys as we went.
We had somewhat suspected troubla and
had become suspicious of our servants. A
prince bad requested a private interview
with my father, who was editor of the
Delhi Gazette. The prince proposed to
come veiled, so that no one might recog
ni;w him, but my mother insisted on being
present, and tho interview did not take
ninei. A l.-rcre iish had been sent to our
family and four other families, the pi -i
an offering of thanks for the King's recovery
from a recent sickness. But wo suspeoted
poiiou and did not eat tho fish.
"One day all our servants came up a&d said
they must go and see what was the matter.
We saw what was intended and knew that if
the servants returned they would murder all
of us. Things grew worse and worse until
this scene of flight shown you in the picture
took place. You see, the horses were wild
with fright. This was not only because ot
the discharge of guns, but the horses were
struck and pounded by sepoys, and ropea
, ;.wi nn.Aca tb wji-e anil the savage
V Cl tv 1 W.I.I -' ....j, -
halloo and the shout of revenge made all the
way of our flight a horror."
The books have fully recorded the hero
ism displayed at Delhi and approximate
regions, but made no mention of this fam
ily of Wagentreibers whose flight I am men
tioning. But the Madras Atheneum printed
this : m
"And now ! Are not the deeds of the Wag
entreibers, though he wore a round hat and
She a crinoline, as worthy ot imperishable
verse as those ot the heroic pair whose nup
tials graced the court of Charlemagne? A
more touching picture than that of the
bravo man contending with well nerved
arm against the black an 3 threatening fate
impending over hi3 wife and child we
have never seen. Here was no strife for the
glory of physical prowess or the spoil ot
. . . . . . Vw. human
smning arms, dui a couqucai ui
mind, an assertion of the powers of intellect
over the most appalling array of circum
stances that could assail a human being.
Men have become gray in front ot sudden and
unexpected peril, and in ancient day3 so
much was courage a matter of heroic
and mere instinct that we read in im
mortal verse of heroes struck with panic
and fleeing before the enemy. But the sav
age sepoys, with their hoarse warcry and
swarming like wasps around the Wagen
triebers, struck no terror into the brave
man's heart. His heroism was not the mere
ebullition of despair, but, like that of his
wire, calm and wise standing upright that
be might use his arms better."
As an incident will sometimes more im
press one than a generality of statement, I
present the flight of this one family from
Delhi merely to illustrate the desperation of
tho times. The fact was that the sepoys bad
taken possession of the city of Delhi, and
they were, with all their artillery, fighting
back the Europeans who were on the out
side and murdering all the Europeans who
were inside. The city of Delhi has a
n .-.r. ttirpn sides. A wall
five and a half miles long.an 1 the fourth side o J
the city is defended by tho River Jumna, in
addition to these two defenses of wall and
water there were 40,000 sepoys. 11 armed.
Twelve hundred British soldiers were to
take that city. Nicholson, the immortal
General, commanded them, and you must
visit his grave before you leave Delhi. He
fell leaning 1)13 troops, uo
them even after being mortally wounded.
You will read this inscription on his tombi
"ohn Nicholson, who led the assault of
Delhi, but fell in the hour of victory,
mortally wounded, and died 23d September,
1857. aged thirty-five years."
With what guns and men General Nichol
son could muster he had laid siege to this
walled city filled with devils. What fearrul
o Ids ' Twelve hundred British troops un
covered by any military works, to take a
city surrounded by firm and high masonry,
on the top of which were 114 guns and de
fended by 40,000 foaming sepoys. A larger
percentage of troops fell here than in
any great oaiue i iiupyru i -Crimean
percentage of the fallen was 17.48 ,
but the percentage of Delhi was 37.9. Yet
that city must be taken, and it can only be
taken by such courage as had never been re
corded in all the annals of bloodshed. Every
charge of the British regiments against the
wslls nnd pate3 had been beaten back, ihe
hyenas of Hindooism and Mohammedanism
howled over the walls, and the English

the whole earth for Go 1. Indeed, the mis

the first sermonic lesson.
Another thing vou must see if you go to
Delhi, thoush you leava many things un
seen, is the palace of t ho moguls. It is an
inclosure 1000 yar is by 500. You enter through
a vaulted hall nearly 400 leet Ion?. Floors
of Florentine mosaic and walls once em
eralded and sapphired and carbunoied and
diamonded. I said to tho guide, "Show us
where once stood the peacock throne."
"Here it was," ho responded. All the
thrones of the earth put together would
not equal that for costliness and brilliance.
It had steps of silver, and the seat and nrms
were of solid gold. It cost about 8150,000,
000. It stooa between two peacocks, the
feathers and plumes of which were fashioned
out of colored stones. Above the throne
was a life size parrot cut out of one em
rald. Above all was a canopy resting on
iwelve columns of gold, tho canopy fringed
with pearls. Seated here, the emperor
n public occasions wore a crown con
fining, among other things, the Eohinoor
iiamond, and the entire blaze of coronet
lost $10,350,000. This sunrb and once al
nost supernaturally beautiful room has im
bedded iu the white marble wall letters of
5lack marble, which were translated to me
"U l'ersian into iingiisn as meaning ;
If on the earth there be an E len of bliss,
That place is this, is this, i3 this, is this.
But the peacocks that stood beside the
throne have flown away, taking all the dis
olay with them, and tho3e white marble
aoors were reddened with slaughter, and
:hoso bathrooms ran with blood, and that
Eden of which the Persian couplet on the
tvalls spake has had its flowers wither and
Its fruits decay, and I thought while look
ing at the brilliant desolation and standing
imid the vanished glories of that throne
room that some one had better change a
little that Tersian couplet on tho wall and
make it read :
If there be a place where much you miss,
That place is this, is this, is this, is this.
As I came out of the palace into the street

The third thing you must see, or never admit
that you have been in India, is the mosque
called Iumma Musiid. It is the grandest
mosnue I ever saw except Sr. Sophia at Oon
stantlnople. but it surpasses that in some
rr.orvea for fit. Soohia was originally a
nh riat inn church and changed into a mosaue.
while this of Dolhi was originally built for
the Moslems.
As I entered 1000 or more juonammeaans
were prostrated in worship. There are
times when 5000 may be seen here in the
game attitude. Each stone of the floor is
three feet long by one and a half wide, an t
each worshiper has ono of these slabs for
himself while kneeling. The erection ot
this building required 6000 laborers for six
years. What a built up immensity ot white
marble and red sandstone ! We descended
the forty marble steps by which we ascended
and took another look at this wonder of the
world.
As I thought what a brain the architect
must have had who first built that mosque
in his own imagination, and as I thought
what an opulent ruler that must have been
who gave the order for such vastness and
symmetry, I was reminded of that which
perfectly explained all. The architect who
planned this was the same man who
planned the Taj namely, Austin de Bor-
doau and the king who ordered the mosque
constructed was the king who ordered
the Taj namely, Shah Jehan. As this
grand mogul ordered built the most
i n.t noiona for the dead when he
k;,iu thnTni at Ao-rii. he here ordered ouilt
the most splendid palace ot worship for the
living at Delhi. See here what sculpture
and architecture can accomplish. They link
together the centuries. They successfully
defy time. Two hundred and eighty years
ago Austin de Bordeau and Shah Jehan quit
this life, but their work lives and bids fair
to stand until the continents crack open, and
hemispheres go down, and this planet show
ers other worlds with its ashes.
I rejoice in all these big buildings.whether
dedicated to Mohammed or Brahma or Bud
dha or Confucius or Zoroaster, because as
Bt Sophia at Constantinople was a Christian
church changed into a mosque and will yet
be changed back again, so all the mosques
and temples of superstition and sin will yet
be turned into churches. When India
and Ceylon nnd China and Japan are
ransomed, as we all believe they will be,
their religious structures will all be con
verted into Christian asylums, and Christian
schools, and Christian libraries, and Chris
tian churches. Built at the expense of su
perstition and sln.thHy will yet be dedicated
in tho Lord Almighty. Here end 3th the

tcvn, a depopulated city, the city of Amber,
Indn.
The strange faTt is that a ruler aban lone i
his palaces at Amber and moved to Jaipur,
and all the inliabitants of the city followed.
Except here and there a house in Amber
occupied by a hermit, the city is as silent
a population as Pomp-Mi of Hereuianeum,
but those cities were emptied by voicanio
disaster, while this city of Amber was va
cated because Prince Joy Singh w told by
a Hindoo priest that no city should be In
habited more than 1000 years, and so the
ruler 170 years ago moved out himself,
and all his people moved with him.

FAILURES OF THE YEAR.
The Total Number of Suspension!
Reported is 12,721.
"Bradstreet's," in its review of financial
and commercial conditions, gives valuable
information as to the failures of this and
other years. It says :
"The total number of business failures in
the United States in 1894 is seen, by refer
ence to accompanying exhibits, to be 12,721,
as compared with 15.560 in the panic year
1893, which was, of course, the heaviest total
over recorded. These report", it will be
understood, include only those business em
barrassments in which totals of actuulTas-
sets are smaller than liabilities. 1 uere wru

CLEVELAND AND HILL.
THE SENATOR DINES YITF
THE PRESIDENT.
Mr. lUll's First Visit to the White
Houe In Two Ye;ir- tirceted
Cordially by Doth Mr. and Mrs.
Cleveland He Kilters the Man
sionDecorations and Dresses.
President OlevMan ls naiiinl .lnu r to bi-i
Cabinet will long bo remembered as the
most famous of the state dinners ho has
given.
Senator Hill was include. I among the
guests, and as a result, says a Washington
special to the New York Herild, Washing
ton is agog. What does it all m.vn? is the
qui-stion sociel y people and politician"" km
asking on all "sides. When llv Plesld-ut
shook hands with Senator Hill In the K t
Kooru on his arrival it was the tir-t tim
these two distinguishe 1 men ha 1 met since
that memorable interview on March 8, lsit.
The President gave Senator Hid a hearty
greeting, and there wa nothing iu the m in
ner of either to indicate t hat they had ever
been enemies. Airs. Cleveland also re
ceived the Senator very graciously, an 1
eh,tte,I with him rile-'snntlv while waiting
I e ...... 1.. ..iliuIu tiiimkiiiit.ll
lor some oi m1" no ii jm'-1-1.
after greeting the S- nator the President gave
orders' to have the Marine B ind play "Love's
Oid, Sweet Song."
After ail of the gm-sts ha I arrived the
gMitlemeu were assigned to tho ladies they
were to esc in to t he dining room. Mrs.
Cleveland requested Senator Hill to escort
Mrs. Hearst, widow ot m ainoriua .si-im-tor."
Tne dinner was a particularly happy'
one. As usual with state dinners, tln.e
were no toast, and the conversation was of
a general character.
The President seemed in the best of f-pir-its.
The band playe I a well c'los-n pro
gramme, nnd nt times conversation ceased ia
order that an especially line pi-cn of music
might be beard. Senator Hill had Mis.
Hear.dat his right and Mrs. William I'arlis'.o
at hid left.
Ar the close or the meal tho gentlemen re
tired to tho smoking room, and afterward
joined the indies In the East Itoom. Senator
Hill and Secretary Lament had a friendly
chat in the Red Corridor prior tothe break
ing up of tho party. The band played
'Dixie" as a special "mark of respect to the
Secretary of State, whoso favorite it ball
pens to be.
While the other guests at the dinner went
to the White House in carriages, Senator
inn woii.-a.l over from the Normandie, nnd
after tho dinner walked buck to his hotel
again. The correspondent met him in urn
hotel lobby, nnd his face was wreathed with
pmiles, as if his recollections ot the liiuii'-r
were of the most pleasant character. U"
was in the best of spirits, but would not dis
cuss the dinner lurtner inan to reui.u . m-i
ho had had a very enjoyable evening, lo
questions as to what led up to tho dinner,
nnd as to its political significance, hereplie, j
that as the affair was purely social it would
not bo proper for him to discuss it.
Representative Traeey. of Albauy, was ono
of the guests at the Cabinet dinner. H" sat
at the end of the table, to tho President's
leit. Senator Hill sat not far away, opposite
tho President. General Traeey does not
think that any political impc rtance is to bo
attached to the presence of Senator Mill at
the dinner. It is true it is the first time
since March 8, 1893, that he has been iu the
White House, and it is also true that.thongli
invited to a White House dinner nisi year,
be did not attend, but it was really a formal
dinner to which tho Presl ient invited the
senior Senator from Nw York. It w is not
an invitation from Mr. Cleveland to Mr.
Hill. From this fact General Traeey does
not see why any one should attach political
significance to Senator Hill's presence. It
does not, he thinks, affect either tho person
al or political relations between tho two
men.
There were forty-six covers laid upon the
T-shnped tallies in the stnto dining-room.
The decorations were oT tho slipper orchid,
arranged In an oblong plat, with terns down
the entire length of tho main part ot the
board, while each of tho traverse sections
contained one largo and two small c reular
plats of the same flower. Th candles, iu
gold candelabra, oilmen uiin-i ,...."
shades, and on the mantles yellow honey
suckles fringed the banks of white camellas
and hyacinths.
The walls of tho room were almost hidden
with tall palms, rubber plants and oleanders
brightened by the scarlet poinsotta blossom.
At each lady's place a bunch of the slipper
orchid was tied with narrow yellow ribbon,
and the men wore a single blossom. As is
usual on state oeca-ious. tho circle of
glasses was missing from Mrs. Cleveland's
place, the single water glass being in m;trit?d
contrast, to the other places.
Mrs. Clevelund appeared in ono ot her la-t
year's gowns, which is most becoming. It
is made of yellow satin, th sarface of which
is brocaded with gay flowers with their
leaves, the draped skirt tailing at one side
over a knee-flounce of rare old lace, ihe
sleeves were huge affairs of yellow velvet .
A necklace Of solitaire diamonds, and a
spreading diamond ornament was woru on
the white brow.
The President escorted Mrs. tin-sham,
f blue Butin. brocadtH
with flowers, and half hlidon by folds of
chiffon. Mrs. Hearst was in a handsome
gown of black and white satin. Mrs. Car
lisle wore lavender woeauo. .urt. mwi
