Hence that large 'congre- gation and the need for enlarging the lecture room. Very many of the leading Presbyterian families are in Chicago for the winter. The sermon by Pastor Pfenstiehl was clear and logical. discussing “Opportunity,” from Gal. 6:10. His chief points were: People find 0p- portunities; and make just that of them for which their previous training has prepared them for; poo. pleéoolnqgto makethe moat of large, opportunities who have shown fidel-‘ ity ‘nnd skill in making the most of small opportunities in obmure places, and finally an opportunity gone is lost forever. Each of these points was clearly stated, briefly and perti- nently developed, amply illustrated and tenderly enforced. The aim of the discourse was clear, to win Christians to a higher and more use ful life and sinners to accept Christ at once In our tour of the churches we spent last Sunday morning with the Presbyterians. There was a large congregation: indeed the house was full, every slip occupied, so far as we could see, and most of them .well filled. There was an air of sincer- ity, of devoutness. of people waiting on God in all the services. The singing was abundant, good ,old hymns, and one or two solos by Miss Evans, with a strong, clear voice of great compass and power, every syl- lable distinctly enunciated: Mr. Schaumer is not only an expert muâ€" sician. but an organizer of Success.

THE RED MEN'S BALL. mGI-ILAND PARK. ILL DEEEMBERJO, I897. They are gone, still they come. This is true of what we must face. Is there a way of relief from the her- rassing and often serious invasions of our homes by tramps? Many of them are unfortunate victims 'of oirl, cumstances. _ Some are honest, but most of them rogues. 'I“o permit It is a well known fact, which is never disputed by anyone knowing what'a condenser is, that a condens. er is a paying investmem wherever injection water'can be had. Nature has provxded the pl‘nt git!) it, so it seems a sin not to take advantage of this fact. STIAH. Editor of (he Nzwszâ€"T There are certain expenses to be charg;d against the condenser. It requires a sine“ amount of steam to operate it, find an additional amount of packing; etc., will be required. An estimate of 15 to 20 per cent. saving in fhel is a very conservative one. Sin? thousand gallons of oil costs 81080, '20 per cent. of which is$240, or at 15 per cent saves‘MG‘z. This seems to be pretty good returns on an investment of 8550 in one year. This estimate of 8550 includes the putting in of an auxiliary heater to heat the boiler feed, the steam from the small pumps being used in it. Thus, the heat remaining in the exhaust from the small pumps is practically returned to the boiler, as it will raise the temperature of feed water to a proportionate amount. From the above it is very clear that the steam required to run the pumping engine is about 30 percent less, minus certain small , losses. In other words, 50 pounds steam prcg- . sure would do whsgr 38 takes 70 pounds to do now. fine cubic inch of water converted ihto steam at 50 pounds pressure occupies a space of 405 cubic inches, while at 70 pounds it occupies a space of 314 cubic inches. This demonstrates that 29 per cent less water will have to be evaporatcii to fill the cylinder at each stroke running condensing than is necessary running non-condensing; 29 per centi.L less water having to be evaporated it follows that 29 per cent. less oil will have to be burned to do the same work. i Wouldseondenser he a good in- vestment? I think if A private oom- psny had the rcity’s plant, they would have had one in before .now, even if they had to borrow money to do it. This being the case there must ‘be' something in it. A . denser is an ordinary steam pump, with an en- larged chamber, intdwhich the steam from the pumpingeugin'e flows and meets a jet of cold wetsflsnd there by condensing; or. the steam from the pumps'contracts to about 1-1700 of its volume as steam? This pro- duces a vacuum, and the pump elm: bly removes the injection; water, water‘ of condensation end my airthst may be in there. This vacuum receives the exhaust side otthe piston} about 10 pounds per square inch of air resistance, which is of‘ uourse equiv- slenttoadding. 10 pounds per square inch additional steam, pressure on the other side ‘of the piston. The area oilthe‘low pressui‘e piston lie- ing 314 square inches the total work done by the condenser would be 3140 pounds. The tote! average load of the pump is 10,170 pounds, so the condenser does 30 per cent. oi the work. ‘ ‘ Mmmmca. ‘ The Condo-mm”. Emmi of the ‘NEWS'k‘ \ What About Tramps? ELECTED NEW OFFICERS.

Rev. Thor en in his sermon last Sunday evening touched a popular inquiry when he spoke quite freely as tothe attitud. people were forced to take toward all tramps. Our own poor in town are cared for by generous and good people, but the tramp is an “outsider” and at best a snapicious character to all of us. Could some way be adopted iby which at one certain place a. tramp could work for his meal and lodging; thereby giving a wholesome, exercise to the body as well as a good lesson for life. “He that will not toil. neitherjshall he eat.” “The way of the transgressor is hard" says the good book, yet by our general meth- ods we encourage transgressors and Editor of the NEWS :â€" A Nuisance.

A HOLD-UP IN GLENCOE. .While on his way home, late one night last week, John Diedrich of Glenooe Was held up by three high- iivaymen, who at the point of three revolvers demanded his money or his life. It ié needless to say he yielded up the former, which consisted of 65 cents} and a‘ pocket knife. After un- loading Mr. Diedrich of his wealth they marched him down to the rail- road traick, pointed his face to the south and after cautioning him, to keep quiet lest he disturb the police ‘from their slumbete, ordened him to march double quick time, which Mr. .Diedrileh lost no tune in doing. As no comp laint was Inade to the author- ities until two day 3 after the hold up occurred. the thugs 'had plenty of time to get away. Owing to the delay of the Chicago Telephone company in removing their line poles which are erected in the right of way of the street railway company, work on the mad had to be stopped Tuesday and will proba- bly not be resumed until after the holidays, when it is expected the last obstruction will have been removed. Tuesday Mr. King, superintendent of construction, paid and laid off all the men at work On the line, telling them there would not be anything more for them to do until the time above mentioned. Mr. King will in the meantime, be at Crystal Lake. Wis., where the Loss construction company have 30 miles of track to lay for the Northwestern road, and superintend that work} He will be joined next week by his assistant, Mr. Jones, who will help him.
