Argument, Dr Talmage Says, Will Not Save the World. N Y Journal. "Now if this world is ever brought to God it will not be by argument, but by testimony," said the Rev Dr Talmage in his sermon Sunday morn ing. His text was, "We are Wit nesses." He said: "Cover the whole eaith withapolo gies for Christianity and learned treatise s on religion and they would not covert one soul. "Put a real keen unbeliever in con troversy with a genuine Christian man, and I should not wonder if, in the argument, the unbeliever was victorious. Our weapon in this con test is faith, not logic; faith, not metaphysics; faith, not profundity; faith, not scholastic exploration." Dr Talmage said that conversion was not an imaginary thing. They are witnesses and knew better. "There are hundreds of people here today," he continued, "who were no more what they once were than a dove is like a vulture. Now, if I should ask all in this assemblage who had felt the converting power of the grage ot God to arise, they would not be ashamed, they would spring to their feet." "Testimony: 1 give it myself. I join you in this testimony. For eighteen years I wandered on the road toward darkness and toward death. "I floundered around in the dark ness, but after a while there came the dawn of peace in my soul.and though I have lived an unworthy life, I have felt the peace which passeth all un derstanding. I a a a witness, and you are a witness. We are witneses." Big Hailstones in Baltimore. Baltimore, April 27. This city was visited this afternoon by hail of a size and destructive power never before seen in this city. It was plain hard ice, frozen through and through, clear as crystal and solid as a rock. It went through thick panes of glass as if they were tissue paper, and the amount of damage done by it can only be figured up when all the broken panes are counted and the glass setters' bills are paid. The loss will run up into the thousands. The hailstones were like rocks, some of them ragged and sharp on the edges as a steel blade. Hen's eggs were nothing to them in size Many of them were as large as a mail's fist; as they came down they sounded like eo many cannon balls falling on the helpless eari h. The storm came from the West, was local in its char acter, and swept to the East with a rattle like heavy musketry, frighten ing people out of their wits, making some of the superstitious think that the day of judgment had come, and hitting those who were on the streets many hard knocks and driving them into places of shelter. All over the city the damage was heavy,; particularly in the way of broken glass. No glass that met the full force of the hail was strong enough to stand the force of the cob ble stone like blocks that came out of the sky! Charles 1 Btreet windows looked as if they had been in the cen ter of a battlefield, and in the houses on Mount Vernon place the damage was very considerable. In the annex the rain, wind and hail did even more severe damage than in the city Walls were swept down, houses un roofed, and the amount of glass smashed and other damage done was almost incalculable. THE TERRORS OF SIBERIA. Mr Kennan Gives the Fourth of Ills Series of Lectures. Gtorge Kennan, the celebrated Russian investigator at:d author, gave an illustrated lecture last even ing in the Academy of Music on "Life on the Great Sibertm Road." This was the fourth of a series of six lect ures which Mr Kenran is giving in this city. He ocened his address by speaking of the polical exiles in Tomsk and the pretty offenses for which men and women were sentenced to imprison ment and exile. He related a pathetic story of the exiled Russian author, Volkhofeki, who was sentenced to the Siberian mines for writing a book an tagonistic to the ideas of the Russian officials. Mr Kennan then described in detail the journey of two thousand miles from Tomsk to Irkutsk of a party of four hundred exiles of both sexes and all ages. How the sick and disabled were carried in tarantas, which are two wheeled vehicles without springs, haviug a body resembling a hogshead cut longitudinally in half and having the concave side upward. How the unfortunate victims of pneumonia, typhoid fever and other malignat diseases were carried in these rough vehicles over rougher roads until the patient died from sheer exhaustion. Mr Kennan concluded his lecture by saying that the most of the misery of the Siberian exiles was due to the callousness and indifference of the Russian officers who conduct them to the mines of Siberia. "I would rather," he said, take the chancss before the judgment seat of the meanest criminal in auy party of Siberian exiles than to have to an swer for the cruelty and inhumanity of the men who have charge of the wretched exil 8 in their journey to the cold and gloom of the Siberian dungeons.'' Water Makes Hiin Drunk. Richmond State. Isaiah Turner, an old darkey, was before court this morning charged with being drunk. Sergeant Matthews testified that Turner was brought to the station house last Saturday night by Police- man Otey, who found him lying in the street drunk. The prisoner, addressing Justice Crutchfield, said: Boss, will you jess let me toll you something. I don't drink whiskey or no kind of liquor. V or de las' few weeks I is been bad off. If I te h a drop of water it flies to dis here head of mine, an' it makes me so weak dat I falls right down in my track. 'Twas nothing but water, you here me, Judge; 'twas nothing but water dat I drank and it made me sick. Justice John: Well, old man, if water affects you in that manner it is just as bad as whiskey, and I will fine you $2 for drinking water. Turner: Now, did anybody ever see de like of dat fine a poor old man for dinking water. Turner was put back in the pen. Speed and Power of Birds. The vulture is said to fly at times at the rate of above 100 miles an hour. The wild goose and the swallow, in their migrations, make 90 miles an hour. The power exerted by the eagle in full flight is but a fraction of one horse power. The common crow ordinarily lounges across country at the rate of 25 miles an hour, the speed of a railway train. The carrier pigeon has flown long distances at any rate of speed ranging from 60 up to 80 miles an hour, and for many hours together. The power exerted by a pigeon fly ing is 2.2C0 feet per minute, 25 miles an hour nearly, at 1,200 of a horse power per pound, or 9J horse power for a flying machine of equally good form, weighing one ton, at 25 miles an hour, or about 50 horse power per ton weight at 50 miles: ; Groceries, &c. j. r. mm & co, FRESH AND RELIABLE Groceries: 233 1 ayetleville Street.
