Hubbard Makes iFi.ie Impression at Takr nacie Declares His Methods are Not Ssro Jo ties Variety But Appeal to Men by Holding op Righteousness. Rev. W. D. Hubbard, of Eufaula, Alabama, upon invitation of the commit tee on pastor, occupied the pulpit both morning and evening yesterday at the Baptist Tabernacle. Mr. Hubbard Is a young man and impresses a stranger with his earnestness nnd consecration His face shows that he is a man of deep piety and a student, and this is so luiueiiT that it makes a profound im pression upon any one whom he meets, Mr. Hubbard preached a strong gos pel sermon last evening, taking as his text Acts 21 -2o, "And as he reasoned of righteousness; tenipcraneo and judg ment to come, Felix trotn'Mixl, nnd an swered, Go thy way for this time, when I have a coiivnient season I will call for ihee." Mr. Hubbard began with a descrip tion of the court hall and the scene and Ivisoml of this famous trial of Taul be fore Felix. Tiie preacher emphasized the text which the uostle select! on this occa sion and spoke .substantially thus: Paul knew the characler of Felix, he was fully informed. of his immoral snd wicked Jif, but. he did not assail his character or acts but reasoned to hi in of righteousness tempera nc and judgment to come, liacli preacher bis own peculiar way of preach ing. Sam .loiit-s may ay hard ihiinrs about people, and Ir. Brouvhton may use his own miithod. but it is not every man who can. say ueh things and erne out alive. However, each man has his own poeiiiat way. as I said; but ii siH-nis to me thai the best way to cry down the vile is to nM up the pure, hi overcome hatred is to proaelt K,ve. The nioif you stir ihe waters of .in old p. md the worst it is. Kemenils-r that men can always say as hard things to you as ymi can ay to ihem. Paul did nui tell Felix how mean he was, m what he ounht 10 be. but hi- reasoned to him of righteousness, temperance and judgment to come and thus Felix liebcld the wickedness nf his life aud he trcmtiL'd. Mr. Hubbard said that since inspira tion was silent ou the subject we could only surmise what bust have lcen liueelea's emotions as Paul spoke of temperance. Felix trembled when Paul spoke of temperance, or self control, for the message went to Felix that if he had exercised self control he would not have taken this women from her Hus band: he wonld not have become a cor rupt judge, ready to receive bribes The exercise of self control w.udd ban ish intemperance of all kinds ami do away with the necessity of the Keeley Cure. And Paul held up the judgment to come. What did the impure Dneelia think then, did her conscience reveal to her her sin, did she remember her de serted bust and, did she recall her pure infancy spent at the knee of her Jew ish mother'; Inspiration is silent and ihe great judgment to come must reveal. Kucelia may have been so steeped In sin ihat her conscience was dead. Mr. Hill hard dcscrilied Ihe great temptation of Jean Valgine at his trial .mil added, "When a man hears not his conscience, w hen he fails to be honest, then indeed is lie dead." Felix did not accept nnd gave a reason for postponement. But there can be on ly oue reason, men prefer darkness rather than llriit. The excuse that a man's business pre cludes the possibility of his being a Christian is often given. Indeed Felix thought by holding Paul he misht get a ibribc for hi release. There are mil lions of men and womm todny who c.in not lie corrupted by money, but will say totthe tempter, "Away with thee and thy money." Money ts alright. I -wish we had more, if we use it right, but what is money compared witli tiV higher things? Convfrt a saloon keeper and see if he will sell whiskey. He can't do it then. Remember Bnnyon's picture of a .mandigging down, down while a glit tering crown of diamonds encircles his brow, t In emphasizing the importance of not postponing. Mr. Htibbard referred to Ella Wheeler Wilcox's "casti-i of resolu tions" tailt out of all the kind words and deeds two iittemded but neglected. "Don't postpone." said the speaker. "Write the letter tonight. Tell your wife tonight that yon love her nnd how good and p.ir she is. Don't put off any good itysd s Fetix and millions o foJther have done." The sermon was. strong throughout and full of gospel 'trotii.' The iilnstrar tions employed were forceful and aptly put ; , XEW YORK COTTOX. Xew York. Feb. 2U. Fehrnarr R8I, March 881.

L'4. iSnoci.il i -The Senate Foreign Relations Commit- ice Jias lavorably reported the French reciprocity treaty without amendment, T'"' chief benefit of this ircatv :s in ! what it will prevent rather Ihm in what it giants. France has a tinff in throe tables maximum, minimum and inter- I mont has given warning, 111 unmistaka ble terms, that minimum rate.; will be promptly imposed should this Congress adjourn without ratification. In other words, France has been proceeding in a t manner somewhat similar to that of the i ; United States under the Harrison reci- ' j procity law. by which the Unitdl States threatened retaliation against any coun try that did not enter into reeiproeital ar- j rangemeuts with it by a certasil dale.1 The new treaty will admit ueatiy 700 American articles at minimum rates; in- eluding meats reduced 10 per cent.; lard '. reduced nt cent.; condensed milk, f() . per cent.; woid, 21); fish. tkS; oysters, 50; vegetables, 2S; starch, 18; iron and gtcel, IT) to 48, according to classes; robber gissls. 20 to 33; furiiiiture, 14 to 3S; glass, ll to 28; and soon. The French govern ment, further agrees that all agricultural products, including wheat, flour, corn. ! oats, barley, and other wereals and arti- ', cles of foihl, either in the natural state or manufactured, peas, Imjiiiis. linseed, tallow, lnrd, poultry, hides, live slock, oil cake raw col ton. flax, hemp, and nthjiT film's, jKitaliS's and other vegeta bles coal and iron, ore and other articles lielongiiig to thi'si' classnY! iniHnod from the United States, shall not tie admitted from any other nation nt lower rates , than those granted to the United States. On the other hand the Unitisl States j government admits from France at a re- i dnced duty silk goods, hosiery, and knit ! goods, ready ir.aile clothing, Russian vel vet, laces, leather and skin gloves, jew elry, 'brush s. toys, fans, nuts prunes, olive oil, medicinal preparations, earthen and glassware, watch-makers' articles, clocks, nails, spiki-s. handmade letter pa r. alliums, wood, ami wooden furni ture, mineral waters and wines. The 'meeting of iV Daughters of Revo lution in this oily h.i,s been the same turbulent asemblage so familiar to Washington people from tin- experience of previous years. In this it is a great, contrast to the meeting of the woman suffragists, so recently held here, where the strictest parliamentary order was preserved. The Daughters did nut hesi tate to interrupt the speakers and to attempt to address the meeting without being recognized. Two of he vice-prr s idents grew so excited that they fairly l Ushed over a diminutive girl page who happened to get in ihcir way. The trou ble is that the Daughters have, not learn ed what men learned long ago, that large Isslies cannot delilierate, but must work through committees nnd floor leaders. Ally other system only produces "rough houses." The Democratic National Committee met in this city Thursday, and di-oiih-d that the next National Convention should be liebl iu Kansas City on July 4, nearly j yesterday abounded an beautiful illustra two months after the Populist and two i lions and graphic descriptions, by which weeks after the Republican Omven- j be. showed himisclf a preacher of great tions. Aside from the decision on these ; oratorical power. Should he be calted two points, tbe most significant fact the committee nnyiing was the appear ance of Seieitor Gorman as conimitte! matv from Maryland, ami his speech in favor of n late convenion instead of an early one. Four years ago," he said, "it might have been w ell to hold an early convention localise our party then took a new position, which drove many Demo- rats out of the organization or into temporary retirement. The new men in control were able, hut to a large degree inexperienced, and it took some time to organize. Xow we have a good organiza tion, and are equipped to go into the campaign." His argument had its de sired effect, but in the midst of the seri ous consideration of party policy, there was laughter when he took occasion to refer to the fact that the first time The Democrats allHd themselves with the Topullsts was at the direct dictation of Grover Cleveland. This wns in the cams palgn of 18!2, when the Xobraska Dem ocrats were ordered by telegraph to with draw their electoral tickot aud vote for the Weaver candidates.
