CONCISE MANNER. •?':• :<, : * . • Michigan's Stat* Troop* Spend a Week In Camp Pingree at Inland I^ake— The Governor a »1« Attraction— Incidents of Camp Life. Michigan Soldier Doyt la Vamp* Camp Pingree was the name given the encampment of the Michigan National Guard at Island lake thin year. The number of men in camp averaged well with any other previous year and the plan of having the tents pitched before the main body of the troops arrived gave general satisfaction. The Fourth regiment was given a taste of camping out, however before they reached Camp Pingree. They left their train at Green Oak, four miles away, and marched In heavy marching order over the rough fields and sandy roads to within a mile of the camp and then pitched shelter tents, cooked their own supper and spent the night there, with Co. C. 19th U. 8. Infantry from Fort Wayne, Detroit, for company. When they reached next day they looked like old campaigners. As fast as the companies arrived at Camp Pingree they were mustered in by the colonels of the governor's staff And inspected by Inspector-Gen. Case. The First was the first to have a full regiment In camp. The arrival of Gov, Pingree, commander- in-chief of the M. N. G., was an event which was somewhat interfered with by rain which began just before the train arrived and continued until the governor had reached his tent. Nevertheless there was a big crowd of both civilians and soldiers to greet him. The absence of the elaborate gold lace trimmed uniforms of the escort was noticable, but this was on the governor's order as he had all of his staff instructed to appear in camp with only their fatigue uniforms. Gov. Pingree was attired very simply, but a s h e mounted a skittish black horse and rode along it was evident that he would be the principal attraction dur- .Ing the rest 6f the camp. Just before the parade began to move the Naval Reserves fired the governor's salute. Every time a gun boomed the governor's horse jumped into the air, but that did not seem to disturb its rider. The Third regiment was given the honor of escorting the governor and his staff into camp. Camp Not**. The U. 8. regulars' camp was named Gamp Gardener. Mrs. Gov. Pingree, Miss Hazel and H. 8. Pingree, Jr., were guests at the governor's quarters. Second Lieut W. E. Grayson. Co. E, Third infantry, was arrested charged with abusing a guard. Gov. Pingree expressed mueh satis-' faction at the appearance of Jthe camp and the troops and was greatfy pleased with the showing of the Fourth regiment in their "roughing inexperience. Tramps inflicted their presence on the camp by the score, but were bounced when they entered the camp limits. They stole everything found loose in and about camp. The largest company in camp was Co. A, Second infantry, from Cold water, with 80 men and three officers. Trouble la Second Befftmeat, H. N. O. Adjt Goni Irish gave—ordnrq. just previous to the encampment of the atate troops, instructing the commanding officer of Co. G, Second regiment, a t Ionia, not to report fOvwsamp duty, pending the investigation of the court of inquiry. Maji John.H. Mitchell, who was formerly captain of Co. G, and who was commissioned major of the Second infantry May 27, 1897, has also been relieved' from duty pending the convening of the court of inquiry. The charges against Maj. Mitchell are that he was inefficient in properly taking care of the state property while he was captain and that he failed to make the proper returns, also that he secured the election of 8ergt Barley to the captaincy, over two lieutenants, by undue influence. A*g-uet Crop Report. The Michigan crop report for August says that the average yield of wheat per acre is estimated at 13.81 bn for the state. The crop has generally been secured in fine condition-and is of good quality. The heavy rains in the central part o> the state just at the close of harvest did some damage bat ft is not extensive. The average condition of corn in the state is 87. Potatoes promise about seven-tenths, and beans mine-tenths, of an average crap. The yield per acre of clover and timothy hay is slightly more than in average y e a n . Meadows and pastures are now in fine condition. Apples promise -about one-third of an average crop. CoMly AKU lire at Sooth Hurtftud. The largest' and moat disastrous 11 iv ever witnessed at South Hartford completely destroyed the large double sawmill of the Crane Lumber Co. and the millions of feet of lumber in the yard. In 80 minutes after the lire broke out the mill was burned to the ground. South Frankfort has no fire protection and dispatches were sent to Traverse- City, Manistee and Copcraish for fire engines, which arrived in time to save the town. The loss is a serious one to South Hartford, as the company employed a great many men and was the only mill in the town. The loss on the mill is 820,000; on the lumber, $50,000; fully insured. Brick Blouk Tumble* Into a Cellar. A two-story brick block owned by Mrs. Haight, at Kalamazoo, collapsed sideways completely filling the cellar that had been dug for a foUr-story block. The loss on the building is about 84,()00, and on F. S. Perslng's hardware stock S3,500. Mr. Persing had left the store only a minute before. Mrs. Ella Coats was sleeping upstairs and was called by a passer-by who saw the wall swaying, and she escaped barefooted, clad only in a wrapper. The south wall remained standing and on this Mrs, Coat's bird-cage still hung with the bird singing merrily. It was rescued.

About 500 union miners met at Ishpeming and were strongly urged by President William Mudge and Secretary Matthew Wasley to throw down their tools Aug. S3 unless the nonunion men came into She union or were compelled to leave the mines. Many prominent miners, who have heretofore been active in the union, will work hard against the movement It is also quite certain the mine bosses will not accede to the wishes of the union. It is generally admitted that the organisation is in a bad way nnancially. Many of the members have not dues for a year p a s t Ex-Vice-President Cameron Milller, of the United Mine Workers, has entered suit at Pittsburg for 95,000 damages against T. B. Oe Armit, of the N e w York & Cleveland Gas Coal Co., for malicious prosecution. DeArmit had him arrested on charges of riotand «nlawful assemblage. These were not substantiated, and the was dismissed. Striking Miners oalatng Ground. The wives of the miners who continue at work in the Plum Creek and Turtle Creek mines in the Pittsburg distrlot are becoming a strong factor in bringing about the Buocess of the coal miners' strike in that section. A big mass meeting held by the camping strikers near Plum Creek mine was attended on Sunday by 1,()00 miners who had persisted in working the previous week and nearly every one was accompanied by his wife as a result of missionary work among the women by the strikers. The meeting was inaugurated by religious services conducted by Rev. Lincoln Lash, assisted by a choir of 20 colored jubilee singers, after which Mrs. Mary Jones, the Chicago agitator, spoke for about an hour, putting the case very plainly to her women auditous. She placed the responsibility for the success or failure of the strike on the wives. The result of the meeting was the assurance from nearly a thousand men that they would join the strikers and it la now thought that it will only be question of a very short time until the De Armit mines are tied up completely. Miners' strike News. The strikers about the De Atmit mines are continuing orderly and are gaining accessions to their ranks constantly. The 150 men employed at the Horner & Roberts coal mine at Elizabeth refused to go to work; about 75 miners at th* Equitable mine in the same locality also struck. The Bunola men who were persuaded to come out all remained away from the pit and no coal was mined. The mine company leased the ground where the strikers were camped and ousted them, but another field has been secured by the strikers whiclytlre owner refused to lease to the company, and a permanent camp established. A special from West Newton, Pa., says: "The sympathy of this entire community is with the striking coal miners. The use of a large building has been given free for a commissary, and the townspeople and farmers have contributed provisions liberally. Several hundred dollars have also been contributed." The output of the De Armit mines was still further reduced by n o coal being taken from the Oakhlll mine. The three men at Sandy Creek mine mined one gondola car in three days. Counsel for the New York A Cleveland Gas Coal Co. (De Armlt's mines) has prepared a bill to be presented to Judge M. W. Acheson, of the U: S. circuit court at Pittsburg, on behalf of the non-resident stockholders of the coal company, asking for an injunction to restrain the striking miners from congregating near the mines at Turtle Creek, Sandy Creek and Plum Creek and from interfering with the workmen of the company. This new move is being made for the purpose of getting the aid of the U. S. marshals as well as the sheriff of Allegheny county, to break up the strikers1 camps. Scientists Gather at Detroit. In entertaining the general meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Detroit brought within her borders about 200 men of all departments of science, among whom were many of the leaders of thought and investigation.

(Translated from the French of Maurice- Montegut.) H E cemeteries of cities are like great hotels where the •close proximity of people in different classes of life Is not always happy. The walls of partition IIIMI seem to leak a sev i l l l l ' w ^ V ^ l V ^ cret horror of unrest; there is something of constraint, o f promiscuoslty, of cold dignity in the obligatory relations of body to body. Here the dead are not at home. In the graveyards of the country, a m o n g the thick flowing underbrush and the quiet of the wide fields, is a better repose for us after our stormy struggles. A cemetery thus situated, the center of far reaching horizons. Inspires one with a desire to die. To lie down here and sleep seems good. But most peaceful of all are the realms of the dead in marine village*, at the edge of the sea, within sound of the lulling of the running waves which s i n g a n eternal song on the eternal sleep, amid the wall of the wind over the ancient tombs. One day about fifteen years ago I entered one of these places of supreme rest beside the wares on the Breton xcfcstrwttbrrts crosses pointing toward heaven in a w a y which m a k e s one think of eternity. Beside a little old church, beneath the shadow of a -stone bell turret, slept the forefathers, ivho, whether they had died In youth or in age, were all made an equal part by accomplished time. And there w a s no sadness in thTs evidence of fatal death, but rather a happy relief in the thought that the burden of suffering will not always weigh down our poor shonlderB and that sorrow nad its prescribed limit. And pleasant, too.was slow spelling out of the Inscriptions on the tombs in the warmth of the sunlight which the fluttering Intoxicated birds greeted with a sweet deTirlum of song. Three centuries of time separated the old stones from the new, and a peace was made over a n feuds here under the high crosses with outstretched arms, clearcut against the green sea, standing in their eternal attitude of forgiveness. One tomb in the form of a chalice arrested my attention and I read this singular, epitaph: "Here Lies an Unknown. Dee. 6, 1871. Taclta Translit." (She has passed silently.) I wished to learn all that was known of her, and In the evening I inquired in the village, and this is what I learned: In November of the year 1860, on a night of lowering sky and raging sea, as the inhabitants slept In their huts, which were shaken up by the squall, the dull boom of a cannon announced the distress of a ship out on the waters, across the promontory. At the time the little port did not possess a single lifeboat, and to attempt to start in such a gale In the barks of the fishermen would be simply folly. Each one who heard the sound could o n l y pray, "God help t h e m ! " But doubtless the noises of the angry sea drowned out the hu- T H E BOOT O F A WOMAN, m a n voices a a d God heard nothing, for n e x t morning the «ea eteetehed wide under the blue sky, swept clear. Not a speck on the horizon, n o t h i n g but t h e ripples of foam on the waves. So It had disappeared, fenmdeved, the boat that had cried for help wtfth a call of iron daring that night o f terror. The s a d n e s s of the disaster caused a silence Among the fishermen, urfcea\. suddenly, d o w n o n the strand, a cry arose. At this m o m e n t the Marquis <de Pontus, {matter of the chateau, c a m e o p t o the g r o u p of people to learn the end of the night's drama. H e hurried down to t h e strand, followed by t h * fishermen. : T h e cry had come from a peasant who ftad discovered the body of a woman, clothed In a long white robe, thrown between t w o enormous rocks. She w a s undoubtedly dead and must have •rolled from her bed o n t h e ship into the sea, I "Her heart still beats." cried the p e a s a n t T h e marquis commanded : pCarry her t o m y house quickly and w r a p this cloak about her." 1 H e w a s obeyed. In fact, the woman still lived, and after hours of ingenious labor opened her eyes. "Ask her nothing," said Pontus, "she is still t o o w e a k and m u s t sleep." In t h e meanwhile the searchers continued from strand to strand, but nothing more w a s found. It was impossible to tell what this vessel w a s which had. gone down in the s e a r waters. French? English? All a mystery! It had Icarrled its flag to the depths of the v "The w o m a n will tell us." said Pontus. And the next day he went to her bedside. She looked at him with eyes large, beautiful and clear, but empty of comprehension. She was young and very pretty, with hands delicately and finely shaped. He asked her where she came from, where she was going, who she was, in phrases gentle and courteous, for he was already moved by her tragic beauty. She listened without making a sign and did not answer. He repeated his question, saying he troubled her only for her o w n good. She remained silent, and It w a s evident his words conveyed nothing to her. "Perhaps she doesn't understand French." said a friend. "She understands nothing at all," said Pontus, sadly. "I fear she has lost her mind in the horror of the catastrophe. But it does not matter; she h a s fallen from heaven and she is at home here, mad or sane. God sent her to me, and I will guard her." And he kept his word. Days, months, years passed. The unknown lived silently, without words and apparently without thoughts. She loved to be out of doors and mixed with other people, seeming by all exterior appearances to be like them. At the table of the marquis, in this family of n refined ancient race, she carried herself with the grace and dignity of one accustomed to a similar world, and Pontus often said, "This child is a great lady." In spite of the most thorough invest4gations not a ray of light, even the faintest, pierced the mystery. It could not even be conjectured what the boat, lost at the coast, had been, nor who this woman w a s who accepted placidly the care of strangers, showed neither sadness nor Joy, had n o desires and lived, unconsciously, t h e life of a beautiful white bird in a cage of gold. Little by little the marquis grew attached to her. His house was large and he refused to have her confined in a hospital, repeating that she w a s his charge and sacred to him above everything. And sometimes w h e n he watched her walking in the park of the chateau, Pontus would grow very sad and murmur, "If this beautiful girl had a soul how I would love her." And Pontus, who was then in his 36th year, refused obstinately to marry—on account of the unknown. And s o he grew older, and with the \rears came a deeper melancholy. However, in his voluntary seclusion there was some sweetness. T h e woman £e*med to like to be near him, though her manner was like that of a petted animal. She ran to him w h e n she saw aim and looked s t him with her clear 'yes, in which shone a fugitive light of eeognition and devotion. But the next moment she would run away again, ften into the woods, where she wanlered about all day, returning always ^t dusk, for she had a great dread of the darkness. One stormy night in November she huddered at the sound of the wind from the sea and moaned softly, with her hands clasped to her breast in an attitude of deep sadness. A little laer she uttered a hoarse cry and fell ro the floor unconscious. It was just welve years since she had come to ife in the chateau. Pontus, very much alarmed, hurried to the village for help. A doctor was summoned, and returned with him in great Baste. The patient was examined and the case diagnosed A H A R D B L O W . Sweeping Injunetlea Again** Striking Coal Miners.

Old age and disease, however, is worki n g great inroads into the lists, for there were 31,960 deaths during the year. Other sources of loss were 1,074 from remarriage of widows; 1,845 orphans attained majority; 8,683 failures to claim pensions, and 3,560 losses from unrecorded causes.

Next to the Dutch reformed church, it is the oldest church organization in the city. It embraces 103 churches of which Trinity and S t Paul poeseas the most historical interest Trinity stands in Broadway at the end of Wall street on the side of the West India Cos- farm which- was confiscated by the English after their conquest of - Manhattan Island and was granted to the church by the English government in 1697 being the 5th year of the reign of William and Mary. Subsequently other lands were granted to the church and its present possession i f figured out in building lot priott would have a value of many millions. Tke revenue derived from this nfUmnns property goei to mainsmaller churches in poorer parts of the city. The first church was completed in 1697, rebuilt forty years later and destroyed by fire in 1776. It was rebuilt twelve years later and in 1839 it was pronounced unsafe and taken down to make way for the present one which was finished in 1846. The church is surrounded on three sides by a burial ground, mem- 01 able as the last resting ptace of many persoo8 dist'oguished as soldieis, statesmen or p ivate citizens du^ng the ea-ly period of American history. In many instances the marble is so worn by time aud a t o m that the inscriptions a e not legible. A fine monument erected in memory of the Re^olutionai y prisoners, who died on board the old prison ship in the provost prison and at other points in New York, occupies a prominent position in the,yard. A mausoleum erected to the memory of Captain Lawrence and Lieutenant Ludlow of the frigate, -Chesapeake is-atee-4e- be Near by is the grave of Robert Fulton; of Albeit Gallatin, one of the earliest and greatest secretaries of the U. S. treasury; the tomb of Lord Stei ling of the English army, and that of the lovely and unfoituuate Cua lotte Temple. A monument on the west side of the church marks the resting place of Alexander Hamilton and it is interesting to note in this connection that the house occupied by Axon Bun* at the time of the shooting and in which he passed the day after the duel, is still standing only a few blocks from his victim's grave. William Bradford, the publisher of the first newspaper in New Yoik, is also buried h e i a Many quaint inscriptions, some of them bordering on the ludicrous, attract the visitois eye, not a few of which are something over two hundred years old. The following will give an idea of the many to be seen: Babe 10 mo. old, died 1714 -'Received but yesterday the gift of breath, Ordered tomorrow to retain to death." J. D. died 1716, aged 14 years. "My parent* dear, who mourn and weep, Behold tb€ grave where I now sleep; Prepare for death for yon muet die, A ad be entomed aa veil as I." Mary, wife of James G. died 1794, aged 47 years. "Mary tby love to James wae known, The want of thee he does bemoan, But while he grieves the loss of thee, %ft(jM—Thr happiaoeo ho tsUi to see, And wheu the Lord see* fit to end my time, With thy beloreu dust I'll mingle mine. Infant 1694. ''Beneath this btone an infant lies From future danger tree.'1 R. C. died 1711 aged 62. "Call imd Bee as you pass by, Ae you are now eo once wae I. Ae I now am so you must be, Prepare for death and follow me." Sidney Bieese d«ed June 9, 1797. (MADE BY HIMSELF.) "Ha! Ha! Sidney, B'dney.

"Boreae blasts and Neptune* wave Ha* toe*e<! him to and fro, But by the sacred-will of God, •He le anchored safe below.1' The following is considered by the medical fraternity as slightly bordering on the sarcastic: J. R. died 1716, aged 49. "He fled from aeaenee and aortal life, A iter partaking of the same he left hia body Bleeping here." The following as if in apology to the above, appears on a stone near by: Dr. J no. Hnggerford died 1765. "Hera 1 lea interred the sawed dnst, Of peace and piety, truth and trust" Mary D. died 1692, aged 42. 'Stay reader and abed a tear, And thimk on as* who aow Ilea here, Andaayoa read the it*** of me, Think on the glass UMI vans far thee.1' Capt Henry Ford, Captain of British ship, Densmore on Lake Erie, died Nov. tf, 1793, and Capt Michael Cresap died 1700., Capt of the first American rifle bataU* km axe also boned here. All of English and most of the very old inscriptions are BO w e n that they are not legible, bat in a few instances the year 1614 was visible, showiag that these bodies must have been brought here after the church was oifjanized in 1697. Many of the stones have the skull and cross bones as an emblem and one has a skull and ctoss bones, skeleton, coffin and hoar glass caived oot in bold re1\gf and these show plainly wh:)e the lettering is entirely oblile-ated.

Several prominent people were talk- { lnf together recently In a billiard room of the principal hotel in a large provin* clal town in the i;orth when a wellknown conjuror and mesmerist came in to see if the billposter had left any ol his programmed, says the Scottish Nights. Two or three gentlemen began to poke fun at the prefessor anil intimated that there was some trickery in his performance. Finally the mesmeric professor stood upon his dignity, and offered to give a free exhibition of his Bkill th&e and then. He said that he would so place one of the party when under his influence that when ifie had caused the subject to grasp his/owu nose he could not leave the room without taking his fingers from his nose. The wager was accepted and one of the party, an alderman, gave himself up to the influence of the mesmerist, who placed him by the side ol an iron column at the end of the room, told him to close his eyes, and made a few passes over his face. He then took the alderman's arm, brought it around the column, and put bis nose between his fingers. After a few more passes the professor said: "Now, sir, you cannot leave the room without taking your finger from your nose." The victim opened his eyes and at once saw the point of the joke. O H O S T S A N D F U N . A few evenings ago a south side society girl carried out a novel entertainment, says Chicago News. Invitations were issued for a "ghost party," and each person was warned ittt he would be expected to tell, a ghost story. When the evening arrived the house presented none of the usual signs of festivity. Instead, the guests arc lying found not one solitary gleam of light, and stumbling up the steps received their first shock. Before they had time to ring the door swung open without sound, and stepping into the hall they confronted, looming ghostly In the darkness, a tall, white hooded figure, which, without words, solemnly pointed to the stairway. Passing up this, with nerves beginning to assert themselves, shock No. 2 communicated himself through an open doorway which had to be passed. Through it, from some unseen source, throbbed and pulsated a pale blue light and lying on the floor, in the middle of the room, in full view from the door, was a white figure, which moved in a peace destroying fashion to a ghostly symphony of clanking chains. On the landing above was stationed another tall, white figure, to serve as usher to the dressing room, and, in order that the ladies might be distinguished from the gentlemen, some slight infraction of the rule of absolute darkness was necessary. Accordingly, in front of the white figure stood a smoldering brazier and when stumbling steps or nervous giggles announced the arrival of more guests, the figure threw a pinch of some powder upon the brazier, producing a momentary fiare of blue flame, -by" the light of which the ladies were solemnly and wordlessly waved into one room and the gentlemen into another. Here, at the hands of two hooded attendants, and by the light of dim, blue burning braziers, the guests 1 STONE WATER TANK. A wonderful Inrentloh and a jrreat boon to farmers.

Then the story telling began, each speaker being apprised of his turn by a- solemn pointing gesture of the cen^ tral spook, and it is possible that such an eerie collection of ghost stories has never been retailed in one place before. One tale produced a hair raising sensation, describing as it did the feelings of a watcher in a haunted house, who, having sprinkled the floor with Hour to detect and trace footsteps, and sitting, waiting, revolver in hand, heard all the doors fly open at the stroke of 12 and saw footsteps printing themselves off in the flour directly toward him, no-othersign of the ghostly printer being visible. One of the best stories was told to the accompaniment of soft, weird music and each speaker, keyed up to concert pitch by the surround lags, did his or her best to produce that creepiness of the flesh which was so much desired by the fat boy In *Pickwkk," while all nerves were kept •n a high strung condition by a chorus U wild laughter, shrieks and chain bankings, which broke In upon the itories at appropriate points.

' w rDath~morning, I shall—wash the last sleep from my eyes in the cool river of heaven. I take up this book of divine photographs, and I look at Luke's sketch, at Mark's sketch, at John's sketch, and at Paul's sketch, and I say, with Isaiah, "Wonderful!" I think that you are all interested in the story of Christ. You feel that he is the only one who can help you. You have unbounded admiration for the commander who helped his passengers ashore while he himself perished, but have you no admiration for him who rescued our souls, himself falling back into the waters from which he had saved us? Christ was wonderful in the magnetism of his person. After the battle of Antietam, when a general rode along the Ilnes.althoagh the soldiers were lying down exhausted, they rose with great enthusiasm and huzzaed. As Napoleon returned from his captivity, his first step on the wharf shook all the kingdoms, and two hundred and fifty thousand men joined his standard. It took three thousand troops to watch him In his exile. So there have been men of wonderful magnetism of person. But hear me while I tell you of a poor young man who came up from Nazareth to produce a thrill such as has never been excited by any other. Napoleon had around him the memories of Austerlit* ani Jena, and Badajos; but here was a man who had fought no battles; who wore no epaulettes; who brandished no sword. He is no titled man of the schools, for he never went to school. He had probably never seen a prince, or shaken hands with a nobleman. The only extraordinary person we know of as being in his company was his own mother, and she was so poor that in the most delicate and solemn hour that ever comes to a woman's soul she was obliged tb lie down amid camel drivers grooming the beasts of burden.

On the earns date the bank had private deposits of 410,800,000 pesetas), and had advanced 116,700,000 pesetas on mortgages and 132,400,000 pesetas on commercial paper. The Spanish treasury's account with the bank was then over drawn 1,100,000 y^sWwsass* M - iA Texas paper says that Texas Is still third In hogs, of all the states In the Union. In a few years she will be first. Iowa now comes flirt wttfa 3,737,970, Missouri next wjjth 3,074,329, and Texas third with ijmfiK. Texe*W«BMW mote bogs tbjfta Ohio, 694,664 more than Ulinols, 1,284,348 more than Kansas and 1,680,- 114 more than Nebraska.

Nebraska a decrease of 26,796 and Texas a decrease of 91,064, which shows that this good state is still in the business of raising hogs, and with this year's feed crop this will be amply demonstrated. A heathen sculptor, who had -esrveda colossal statue, continued as long at work upon the crown of the giant's head that bis admirers grew impatient "You are wasting your labor," they said. "What need Is there that yon should chisel every hair? No one will ever look so high, and the pains you are taking win never be appredatssV The sculptor only answered: "It most be perfect; the gods can see." No setter argument than the notice of Omnlsdenoe could be given for obscure perfection. Flowers come to finished bloom and beauty in wildernesses where no eye of man ever looked. In the conduct of life small perfections show character, for they spring from a higher fidelity than human eye-service. "He that is faithful in little is faithful also in much." s One of the greatest storekeepers In the world has established what he terms a store cadet school for boys in his employ. All the boys between certain ages are required to attend, or to •how that they are pursuing studies The school is held on two in the week, and on school evenings supper is furnished free to the boys. The studies are similar to those pursued in business collegcs,with Instruction also in physical exercises. A little more than a year has passed since Mr. Wsnamaker began the experiment In his Philadelphia store, and the results are encouraging. In addition to tb* -direct results, there should be a turthsT outcome—an increase in the number of those wfco, though they have to work for a string, refuse to listen to the thoughtless cry that rich men universally do not sympathize with, or sacrifice for the welfare of, the HE prophet lived in a dark time. Por some three thousand years the world had been getting worse. Kingdoms had arisen and perished. As the captain of a vessel in distress sees relief coming across the water, so the prophet, amid the stormy times in which he lived, put the telescope of prophecy to his eye, and saw, seven hundred and fifty years ahead, one Jesus advancing to the rescue. I want to show that when Isaiah called Christ the Wonderful, he' spoke wisely. In most houseB there is a picture of Christ. Sometimes it represents him with face effeminate; sometimes with a face despotic. I have seen West's grand sketch of the rejection of Christ; I have seen the face of Christ as cut on an emerald, said to be by command of Tiberius Caesar; and yet I am convinced that I shall never know how scended*from high lineage is standing beside him, and says, "My father was a merchant prince; he had a castle on the beach at Galilee. Who was your fatherr Christ answers, "Joseph, the carpenter." A man from Athens is standing there unrolling his parchment of graduation, and says to Christ, "Where did you go to school?" Christ answers, "I never graduated." Aha! the idea of such an unheralded young man attempting to command the attention of the world! As well some little fishing village on Long Island shore attempt to arraign New York, Tet no sooner does he set his foot in the towns or cities of Judea than everything is in commotion. The,people go out on a picnic, taking only food enough for the day, yet are so fascinated with Christ that, at the risk of starving, they follow him out into the wilderness. A nobleman falls down flat before him, and says, "My daughter is dead." A beggar tries to rub the dimness from his eyes and says, "Lord, that my eyes may be opened." A poor, sick, panting woman pressing through the crowd, says, "I must touch the hem of bis garment" Children, who' love their mother better than any one else, struggle to get into his arms, and to kiss his cheek, and to run their fingers through his hair, and for all time putting Jesus so in love with the little ones fhat there is hardly a nursery in Christendom from which he does'not take »ne, saying, "I must have them; I will fill heaven with these; for every cedar that I plant in heaven I will have fifty white lilies. In the hour when I was a poor man in Judea they were not ashamed of me. and now that I have come to a throne I do not despise them. Hold it not back, oh, weeping mother; lay it on my warm heart. Of such is the kingdom of heaven." What la this coming down the road* A triumphal procession. He is seated, not in a chariot, but on an ass; and yet the people take off their coats and throw them in the way. Oh, what a time Jesus made among the children, among the beggars, among the fishermen, among the philosophers! You may boast of self-control, but if you had seen him you would have put your arms around his neck and said, "Thou art altogether lovely." Jesus was wonderful in the opposltes and seeming antagonisms of his nature. You want things logical and consistent, and you say, "How could Christ be God and man at the same time?" John says Christ was the Creator: "All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made." Matthew says that he was omnipresent: "Where two or three are met together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Christ declares his own eternity: "I am Alpha and Omega." How can he be a Hon, under his foot crushing kingdoms, and yet a lamb licking the hand that slays him? At what point do the throne and the manger touch? If Christ was God, why flee into Egypt? Why not stand his ground? Why, instead of bearing a cross, not lift up his right hand and crush his assassins? Why stand and be spat upon? Why sleep on the mountain, when be owned the palaces of eternity? Why catch fish for his breakfast on the beach in the chin mqrnin^when all the pomegranates are his, and all the vineyards his, and all the cattle his, and all the partridges his? Why walk when weary, and his feet stone bruised, when he might have taken the splendors of the sunset for his equipage, and moved with horses and chariots of fire? Why beg a drink from the wayside, when out of the crystal chalices of eternity he poured the Euphrates, the Mississippi, and the Amazon, and dipping his hand in the fountains of heaven, and shaking that hand over the world, from the tips of his fingers dripping the great lakes and the oceans? Why let the Roman regiment put him to death, when be might have ridden down the sky followed by all the cavalry of heaven, mounted on white horses of eternal victory? You can not understand. Who can? You try to confound me. I am. confounded before you speak. Paul said it was unsearchable. He went climbing up from argument to argument, and from antithesis to antithesis, and from glory to glory, and then sank down in exhaustion as he saw far above him other heights of divinity unsealed, and exclaimed, "that in all things he might have the pre-eminence." - Again: Christ was wonderful in his teaching. The people had been used to formalities and technicalities; Christ upset all their notions as to how preaching ought to be done. There was this peculiarity about his preaching, the people knew what he meant. His illustrations were taken from the hen calling her chickens together; from salt, from candles, from fishing tackle, from the hard creditor collaring a debtor. How few pulpits of this day would have allowed him entrance? He would have been called undignified and familiar in his style of preaching. And yet the people went to hear him. Those old Jewish rabbis might have preached on the sides of Olivet fifty years and never got an audience. The philosophers sheered at his m initiations andsaid, "This will never do!" The lawyers caricatured, but the common people heard him gladly. Suppose you that there were any sleepy people in his audiences? Suppose you that any woman who ever mixed bread was ignorant of what he meant when he compared the kingdom of heaven with leaven or yeast? Suppose you that the sunburned fishermen, with the fishscales upon their hands, were listless when he spoke of the kingdom of heaven as a net? We spend three years in college studying ancient mythology, and three years in the theological seminary learning how to make a sermon, and then we go out to save the world; and it we can not do it according to Claude's "Sermonizing," or Blair's "Rhetoric," or Karnes' "Criticism," we will let the world go to perdition. If we save nothing else, we will save Claude and Blair. We see a wreck in sight. We must go out and save the crew and passengers. We wait until we get on our fine cap and coat, and find our shining oars, and then we push out methodically and scientifically, while some plain shoresman, in rough fishing smack, and with broken oar lock, goes out and gets the crew and passengers, and brings them ashore in safety. We throw flown our delicate oars and say, "What a ridiculous thing to save men in that way! You ought to have done it scientifically and beautifully." "Ah!" says the shoresman, "if these sufferers had waited until you got out your fine boat, they would have gone to the bottom.*' The work of a religious teacher n to save grammar should be snapped in the undertaking, and there be nothing but awkwardness and blundering in the mode, all hall to the man who saves a soul. Christ, in his preaching, was plain,, earnest and wonderfully sympathetic We cannot dragoon men into heaven. We cannot drive them in with the buttend of a catechism. We waste our time in trying to catch files with acids instead of the sweet honeycomb of the Gospel. We try to make crab-apples do the work of pomegranates. Again: Jesus was wonderful in his sorrows. The sun smote him, and the cold chilled him, the rain pelted him, thirst parched him, and hunger exhausted him. Shall I compare his sorrow to the sea? No; for that Is sometimes hushed into a calm. Shall I cornpar it with the night? No; for that sometimes gleams with Orion, or kindles with Aurora. If one thorn should be thrust through your temple you would faint. But here Is a whole crown made from the Rhamnus of Spina Chri&tl—small, sharp, stinging thorns. The mob makes a cross. They put down the long beam and on it they fasten a shorter beam. Got him at last. Those hands.that have been doing kindnesses and wiping away tears—hear the hammer driving the spikes through them. Those feet, that have been going about on ministrations of mercybattered against the cross. Then they lift it up. -Look! lookl look! Who will help him now? Come, men of Jerusalem— ye whose dead he brought to life; ye whose Bick he healed; who will help him? Who will seize the weapons of the soldiers? None to help! Having carried such a cfosrfoT us, shall we re fuse to take our cross for him? Shall Jesus bear the cross alone, And all the world go free? •_, No; there's a cross for everyone, And there's a cross for me. You know the process of Ingrafting. You'bore a hole in a tree, and put In the branch of another tree. This tree of the cross was hard and rough, but into the holes where the nails went there have been grafted branches of the Tree of Life that now bear fruit for all nations. The original tree was bitter, but the branches ingrafted were sweet, and now all the nations pluck the fruit and live for ever. Again: Christ was wonderful In his victories. First—over the forces of nature. The sea is a crystal sepulchre. It swallowed the Central America, the President, and the Spanish Armada as easily as any fly that ever floated on it. The inland lakes are fully as terrible in their wrath. Galilee, when aroused In a storm is overwhelming, and yet that sea crouched in his presence and licked his feet. He knew all the waves and winds. When he beckoned they came. When he frowned, they fled. The heel of his foot made no indentation on the solidified water. Medical science has wrought great changes In rheumatic limbs and diseased blood, but when the muscles are entirely withered no human power can restore them, and when a limb is once dead, it is dead. But here is a paralytic—his hand lifeless. Christ says to him, "Stretch forth thy hand!" and he stretches it forth. In the Bye Infirmary, how many diseases of that delicate organ have been cured! But Jesus says to one horn blind, "Be open!" and the light of heaven rushes through gates that have never before been opened. The frost or an axe may kill a tree, but Jesus smites one dead with a word. Chemistry can do many wonderful *h*T)B«, b " t ^ E * »h»nr»iff», fr» « wfrHiHny, when the refreshments gave out, could change a pail of water into a cask of wine? What human voice could command a school of fish? Yet here is a voice that marshals the scaly tribes, until in the place where they had let down the net and pulled it up with no fish In it, they let it down again, and the disciples lay hold and begin to pull, when, by reason of the multitude of fish, the net brake. Nature is his servant. The flowershe twisted them into his sermons; the winds—they were his lullaby when he slept in the boat; the rain—it hung glittering on the thick foliage of the parables; the -star of Bethlehem—it sang a Christmas carol over his birth; the rocks—they beat a dirge at his death. Behold his victory over the grave! The hinges of the family vault become very rusty because they are never opened except to take another in. There is a knob on the outside of the sepulchre, but none on the inside. Here comes the Conqueror of Death. He enters that realm and says, "Daughter of Jairus, sit up;" and she sat up. To Lazarus, **Come forth;" and he came forth. To the widow's son he said, "Get up from that bier," and he goes home with his mother. Then Jesus snatched up the keys of death, and hung them to his girdle, and cried until all the grave-yards of the earth heard him, "0 Death! I will be thy plague! O Grave! I will be thy destruction!" > Think of God not as one before whop we shall stand, but as one beami Isujuglirjnrj"ia~w ul 1 fore whom we dn stand fl»T and CANOVAb A joAvd N.'.TBD.

Senor Cawovas del Castillo, prime , minister of SpaiSi was aasAasJm^d by an anarchist, a* 8401a, Ajrueds^ wfc.ere he was taking a course Ao? .baths) The muwWyer fired three shoto, twq, of which sU-uck the premier in the h#ad, « aud. another in the chest. The wounded wan fell dying at the feet of his wife, lingering in agony for two hours, and then passing away wiCh the cry of "Lonff live Spain!" The ashivsain was immediately arrested. He is u Neapolitan and gives the name of Binaldi, but it la believed that this is an assumed name and that his real name is Michele Angino GollL He declared that ho killed Senor Ca.novas 4Mn accomplishment of a just vengeance," and that the deed is the outcome of a vast anarchistic conspiracy. The queen regent, on hearing the sad news dispute 11 id her own physician, Dr. Bustos, by a special tram from San Sebastian. Later, on learning that Cauovas \vu$ dead, she wired her condolences to the widow. Her majesty has intrusted the presidency of „ V the council to Gen. Azcarraga, minister of war, and the cortes will be sum* moned to reassemble. Later— Uolli has confessed that he killed Senor Canovas to avenge the Barcelona anarchists, and the insurgent leader, Don Jose Risal, who was executed at Manila, Philippine islands, on Dec. 30 last, as the instigator of the Philippine rebellion. The opinions as to the result of Canovas' murder upon the political situation in Spain are various. Spanish •qtq.frfr't'npn nf t,hg_ government side say that it will make no change, butuirlists and those working to overthrow the monarchy think their dreams are about to be realized. Secretary of State Sherman is quoted as saying that Spain was a bankrupt country at the end of its resources, and that it was bound to become a republic and that Italy and other European nations would soon follow in the same direction. Senator Morgan* of Alabama, a leading me tuber of the foreign affairs committee of the senate and the champion of Cuba in that body, predicts that the assassination may be the forerunner of a complete change of government, a republic replacing the monarchy. On receipt of news of the assassination at Havana the city was thrown into a fever of excitement It was generally felt that the event would have-great influence upon Cuban affairs. The Cuban junta in New York expressed the reeling that Canovas was more responsible for the outrages in Cuba than was Weyler, and his killing seemed to be an act of retribution. At the same time the Cuban party had nothing whatever to do with the death of Qanovas and had had no knowledge that such an act was even contemplated by anarchists or any one else. MISCELLANEOUS.

Cauasldlere, lingering as if in no haste to go„<still talked pleasantly and glanced Impatiently about him. Presently they passed the half open door of a kind of boudoir. Caussidlere, who had looked keenly in, paused suddenly. "Surely," he said, "I know that face!" The old man went forward and pushed open the door, and the Frenchman, following closely behind him, entered the room and stood thoughtfully regarding the object which had arreste d h^g attention. It was a p i c t u r e ^ good sized painting, which hung above the mantelpiece. " 'Tia Marjorle Annan," explained the old man, "foster daughter to the minister. 'Twas painted by Johnnie Sutherland. The mistress bought it because she likes the lassie, and because It has a favor o' hersel'." The Frenchman stared. ' "Like Miss Hetherlngton?" "Ay, like hersel'," returned the old man. "You'd be no denying itself if you saw the picture in that press. "Its Miss Hetherlngton at seventeen or eighteen years of age." "I should like to see the picture." "Aweel, aweej, you should see it; but -the press is locked and Mysie has the key." "You could not get it, I suppose?" "Ay, I could get it," returned Bandle, still under the influence of the Frenchman's gold. "Bide awhile and you .shall see." He shuffled off, leaving the Frenchman alone. The moment he was gone Causaldlere's face and manner underwent a complete change. He sprang from the room, as it were, with cat-like fury, turned over papers, opened drawers, ransacking everything completely. At last he came upon a drawer which would not open; it was in a writing cabinet, the counterpart of one he had at home; he pressed a hidden spring; in a moment the drawer flew open, end Caussidlere was rapidly going over the papers which It contained. Suddenly he started, drew forth a paper, opened, and read I t A gleam of light passed over his face. He folded the paper, thrust it into the inner pocket of his coat and closed the drawer. When the old man returned with his key he found Caussidlere, with his jiandB behind him, regarding the picture of Marjorle Annan. CHAPTER XIV. HILE the persever lng Caussidlere inspecting the interior of Annandale Castle, Miss HetheringW was busily making inquiries about him at Dumfries. To her own disappointment she leaned nothing to the Frenchman's discredit, hut, detersoinedf to break up all relations between fcsm *nd Marjorle, she visited the manse the next day and secured Mr. Lorraine's consent that Marjorle should discontinue her French lessons for the present This done, she ordered the coachman to drive to Dumfries. When they reached the town they drove straight to Causaidiere's lodging, and with a very determined face the lady of the Castle descended and walked up the doorsteps. 3he knocked sharply at the door, which was immediately opened by a girt. the gentleman that ench teacher," she •aid. stepping without oeremony Into the lobby. Cataaetdiere, who was within, put his head out of the door of hit room, and recognised his visitor at onoj with a beaming smile. "Pray step this way. Miss Hetherington." he cried, "I am delighted to see you!" She followed him into his little «ittingroom, and stood leaning upon her ctah* and looking at him with nor black •yea, while he drew forward a chair and begged her to ho seated. She nodded grimly and glanced round the apart- P f l C M A S S O C I A T I O N . ment at the table littered with correspondence, at the books scattered here and there, at the roses and creepers which peeped In at the open window. Then she walked to the chair he had prepared for her, and sitting down, looked at him fixedly again. Not in the least daunted, he stood smiling at her, and waiting for her to explain Jaer business. At last she spoke in her native tongue. "First and foremost, how muckle is Marjorle Annan owing to ye for her French lessons?" As she asked the question, Miss Hetherlngton drew out an old fashioned silk purse and began examining Its contents. Finding that the Frenchman did not reply, she looked up and repeated it. "How muckle is Marjorle Annan owing ye? Tell me that, if you please." "Nothing, Miss Hetherlngton," he replied. "Naethlng? Then Marjorle has paid ye already, maybe." —"Yes, she has paid me," returned Caussidlere, quietly. Naturally enough his manner had changed, and his courteous smile had given way to a cold expression of hauteur, tempered with gentle indignation. "How muckle has she paid ye?" demanded the lady of the castle. "She has paid me," answered the Frenchman, "with her sympathy, with her sweet society. I have not taken money from her. I shall never take it. My labor, Miss Hetherlngton, has been a labor of love." The lady's eyes flashed, and putting up her purse, she uttered an impatient exclamation. "Nae doubt," she cried. "But from this day forward' your labor's done. I have come here to pay you your hire, and to tell you with my aln mouth that Marjorle Annan's French lessons are ended, and that if she needs mair she'll get them from another teacher." Caussidlere flushed angrily, but still preserved his composure. "May I ask a question, Miss Hetherlngton?" "If you please." "I should like to know what authority you have to act on behalf of my dear pupil? X don't ask out of mere curiosity; but? you would oblige me by Informing me if the young lady herself has requested you to some here on so peculiar an errand?" "The young lady?—a bairn who kens naethlng of the world." "But, pardon me, had you her authority to dismiss me, or that of her guardian?" "The bairn's a bairn, and the minister's old and foolish. I've ta'en the business Into mr own hands." "Indeed!" exclaimed Caussidlere, still sarcastically »W»<M^ "Ay, indeed!" repeated the lady, with growing Irritation. "And I warn you, once for a', to cease meddling with the lassie. Ay, ye may smile! But you'll smile, maybe, on the wrong side of good reasons for approving of my union with Miss Annan." "How daur ye think of it?" cried Miss Hetherlngton. "Marry that bairn! I forbid ye eVen to come near her, to speak wi' her again." Caussidlere shrugged his shoulders. "Let us return,If you please, to where we began. You have not yet informed me by what right you attempt to interfere with the happiness of my dear pupil." "By what right?" "Precisely. What may be the nature of your relationship with the young lady?" $ As he spoke he fixed his eyes keenly upon her, to her obvious embarrassment. Her pale face grew paler than ever. "I am Marjorle Annan's friend," ahe answered, after a pause, "Of that I am aware, Miss Hetherlngton. I am aware also that you have been very kind to her; that you have assisted her from childhood with large sums out of your own pocket. May Z ask, without offense, have you done all this out of pure philanthropy, because you have such a charitable heart?" He still watched her with the same half sarcastic penetrating look. Her embarrassment increased, and she did not reply; but her lips became dry, and she moistened them nervously with the tip of her tongue. Suddenly his manner changed and he rose smiling from his seat "You are fatigued," he said, politely. "Let me offer you a glass of wine." She declined his offer with an angry gesture, and moved toward the door. "I hae warned you," she said in a low j Try Grala-O. i Ask your grocer today to show you j a ptfekage of GKAIN-O, the new food drink that takes the place of coffee.'

Sold by all grocers. Tastes like coffee. Looks like coffee. your face, my friend, if ye dinna tak' the warning I bring ye, and cease molesting Marjorle Annan." It was clear that Caussidlere was amused. Instead of smiling now, he laughed outright, still most politely, but with a self satisfaction wnlch was very irritating to his opponent Subduing his amusement with an efftort, he quietly took a chair, and sat down opposite Misa Hetherlngton. "Weel," she cried, striking with her staff upon the floor, "what's your answer to my message?" "You must give me a little time, you have so taken me by surprise. In the first place. Why do you object to my friendship for the young lady? My Interest In her Is great; I respect and admire her beyond measure. Why can we not be friends? Why can I not continue to be her teacher?" "A bonny teacher! A braw friend! Do you think I'm blind?" -I think,- said Caassidiere, with a mocking bow, "that your eyes are very wide open, Miss Hetherlngton. You perceive quite clearly that I love Miss The lady started angrily. "Wbatr she cried., '1 love nor, and hope some day, with your persaisskm, to snake her my wife." Trembling from head to foot, Mjss Hetherlngton started to her feet Tour wife!" she echoed, as if thun- "Why not?" asked Caussidlere, calmly. "I am not rich, but X am a gentleman, and my connections are honorable, I assure you. Why, thorn, should you distrust mo so? If you will permit me. I think I can give wn_gaqL ^volce; "I hae~warned you and forbidden you. If ye didn't heed my warning I'll maybe find some other means to bring you to your senses." She would have left the houosv but quietly approaching the door, he £*£ his back against it and blocked the wiy. "Pray do not go yet," he said. "Pardon me, but you must not. You have given me your message, my dear Miss Hetherlngton; now let me ask yoi*. to hear mine." "What's your will with me?" she cried, impatiently. "Will you sit and listen a 'ittle while?" "I'll stand where I am. Weel?" "First let me thank you for the kindness of your servant in showing me over the beautiful castle where you live. I am interested in all old houses, and yours is charming." She stared at him in blank amazement. "The Castle? when were you there?" "Just before I returned to Dumfries. I regretted that you were not at home, in order that I might aak your kind permission; but in your absence I took the liberty of making a reconnaissance. I came away delighted with the place. The home of your ancestors, I presume?" The words were Innocent enough, but the speaker's manner was far from assuring, and his eyes, keenly fixed on hers, still preserved that penetrating light—almost a threat "Deil tak' the man. Why do you glower at me like that? You entered my house like a thief, then, when I was awa'?" "Ah, do not say that; it is ungenerous. I went merely as an amatevr to see the ruins, and I found—what fhall I say?—so much more than I expected." He paused,while she stood trembling; then he continued: "The Castle is so picturesque,the ruin so interesting, and the pictures—tbt pictures are so romantic and so strange. Ah, it is a privilege, indeed, to have such a heritage and such an ancestry; to belong to a family so great, so Cull of honor; to have a 'scutcheon without one blot since the day when the first founder wore it on his shield." It was clear that he was playing with her, laughing at her. As he proceeded, his manner became almost aggressive in its studied insolence, its polite sarcasm. Unable any longer to restrain her anger, Miss Hetherlngton, with outstretched hand, moved toward the door. "Stand awa', and let me pass." He obeyed her in a moment, and with a profound bow drew-aside; but as she passed him, and put her trembling hand upon the door handle, he said in a low voice dose to her ear: "It would be a pity, perhaps, after all, to quarrel with one who knows so much." She turned furiously, and fixed her eyes upon him. "What'a that?" she cried. "Who knows so much, let us say, about the morals of your bonny Sootland as compared with those of la belle France. "What do you mean? Speak out! What do ye mean?" He smiled, and bending again close to her ear, he whispered something which drove the last tint of blood Crush her cheek, and made her stagger and gasp as If about to fall. Then, before she could recover herself, or utter a single word, he said aloud, with the utmost politeness: "And now, my dear lady, will yon stay a little while longer, and talk wHh about Marjorle Annan?" *»** »m / w a n n v w w \ Rice is the most important of all Japanese 9rops; the cultivation takes up more than half of the country's total surface of arable land.

Situated as it in the river of Detroit, about midway between Michigan and Canada and near the entrance of Lake Huron, it is not only a sightly place but one where the cool breezes are ever blowing and one gets renewed vigor by a few hours spent among its shady bowers, forests, and among the sweet scented flowers that grow pro* fusely, helping to make the spot almost an eden. When the ground was deeded to the city and work began upon it to make it a park, many thought it was an elephant en the hands of the city and not worth while to fix it up, but today sentiment is changed for it is known all over the world that Detroit is one uf_themo.it beautiful and cleanest of cities and has one of the finest parks in the world.

On Thursday of last week, Aug. 19, the day of the annual picnic of St. Mary's parish of this place, was all that could be desired for a holiday, clear and bright ana just cool enough to be comfortable. The picnio had been well advertised by bills and through the local paper and it seemed as though everyone for roilos around had mado an offort K. ^L. SIG-LER, Cor. Hail and Howell Sis., DBALBB ZXT DRUGS, MEDICINES, CHEMICALS, FINE TOILET SOAPS. FINE HAIR AND TOOTHBRUS HES, PURE WINES AND LIQUORS f OR MEDICINAL PURPOSES, to get here. Early in the morning people began to arrive by twos, threes and wagon-loads and by noon "the woods were full of 'em." It^is useless to say anything about the dinner as everyone knows that they never do anything by halves and the tables fairly groaned under the loads of good things set before the hungry people. Immediately after dinner the crowd gathered around the platform and listened to some good music both vocal and instrumental and plenty of good speeches. We wish we could tell some of the good things said but we could not get close enough to the platform to report any of the speeches. The following took part in program: Prosecuting attorney, L. E. Howlett of Howell; Eev. K. fl. Crane, Pinekney; Senator G. W. Teeple, Pinckney; Eev. C. S. Jones, Pinckney; Dennis Shields, Howell; and Eev. M. H. Mcliahon, Pinckney. There was music by Lum bards' orchestra and vocal solos by Miss Estelle Wood of Caro, and Frank Lnmbard of Whit mo re Lake. Of course Mr. Lumbard pleased the people with some comic songs. Each speaker was introduced by Eev. Fr. Commerford in his usual pleasing and witty manner which served to make each one feel at home. Each speech bristled with good points and all received well merited applause. At the close of the program all who desired went to the ball game at the race course. In the evening ice cream was served at the opera house and a ball was given in the Tuomey house to which many young people went and tripped the light fantastic until after midnight. Altogether the society has scored another success as a picnic and financially, the receipts being about $225. May success attend both pastor and people in their efforts to make the world better. PI9CKKET DEFEATED. The Scare of 11 to 5 and favor Br if a to a. F. I JaekuL The ball game, Pinckney vs Brighton at the diamond here on Thursday last was a good one. For a time it looked as if Pinckney was going to win the day as the Srightons could not get a score, but as usual there came an inning when Pinckney fell to pieoes and could not "play -ball" consequently the visiting team ran in eight scores which won the game. It looked, to outsiders, at if the home team were playing against more than the regular team, bat them of coarse it is hard to always make correct decisions and the umpire was BO exception. The game was well played and the best of feeling existed from •tart to finish. The score is as IbUowrs: 1 2 3 4 « t ? S S • 0 0 J • • 1 • * - l l i u d Btote; Brtghna.

SIGLER, PINCKNEY, MICH. WHEN the leaves turn brown and the cold winds of autumn blow about you, then all thoughts of harvest are past and you prepare for COLD WEATHER by laying in a stock of coal, wood, etc,, and see to it that the stoves are in order. While the weather in Michigan is not as cold as it is in Alaska, the prudent man COMES to our store and selects a stove that would keep him warm^f he were sitting on the North Pole. We have stoves of all descriptions and also handle all kinds of coal at prices that defy competition. CALL ON F f r Bespectfully Yours, TEEPLE P CADWELL. NOTES OF THE DAT. The Brighton boys can "play ball" and they (?) beat the Pinckney team. The umpire (?) said it was a FOUL! Everyone wondered whether he meant the ball or the decision. While the speeches were all excellent, it would have been much better had some of the speakers spoken louder. Many words of praise were heard from strangers in regard to the excellent condition of the diamond at this place. Andy Roche made the only home run in the game. He worked hard and won fairly bnt it is a wonder that, it was not called a FOUL. Nearly |90 were taken in at the ball grounds Thursday. This will put the club in good soape as the games heretofore have been at a loss. One trouble with the home team is that they do not "play hair hard enough. They ought to work for aH there is in it, and when they are playhat hall they afcooJd "FLAT BALL" Jet every thing else alone. Roy and Allie Hoff are visiting relatives and freinds at Three Rivera.

Weyler will have a hard task. The splendid force of of 2^0,000 men Spain placed in Gen. Wsyler's hands is, if the truth be told, only a tattered remnant. With the exception of the fortunate ones stationed in and about Havana, the Spanish soldiers are in a bad way. They have not received their pay for months, they are weak from illness and poor feeding, they are badly clothed and many have no shoes. In short, the Spanish army in Cuba is not inclined and not in position to take the offensive.

Probably the largest convention of the American Bankers' association was that just held at Detroit. The fact that it was held in Detroit had a great deal to do with the large attendance and the numerous bankers who came to see a pretty city were not disappointed President R. J. Lowry presided at the meetings and Secretary J. R. Branch made the minutes. The words of welcome by Mayor Maybury, who preceded Gov. Pingree, the address by the governor and his reference to corporations and his advocacy of bimetallism by international agreement and of a tax on gold used in the arts, with the cordial words of welcome from George H. Russel, and his reply to Gov. Pingree's remarks, gave a zest to the proceedings that were greatly relished. The prosperous condition of the association was shown in all of the reports, and the report of the protective committee, with regard to the prosecution of bank robbers and swindlers, was of a most gratifying character to the bankers, and the reference to the likelihood of burglars adopting electricity as a means of looting banks was an eye-opener to many a banker present The roll of the American Bankers' association now embraces 2,807 members, including 1,453 national banks, 756 state banks, 247 savings banks, 132 trust companies, and 225 private bankers, a total of 2,813 institutions with combined capital and surplus of $994.- 607,758 and deposits of $3,178,832,140, amounting in total to $4,173,439,898. deposits of the 225 private bankers who make no report.

Before the decision had been given by the court Judge Collier said in open court that the strike would go down in history as one of the wonders of the century and remarkable on account of the utter lack of disorder for which the strikers are commended and have the sympathy of the court Mine Owners Will Use Force. The operators of the Pennsylvania coal mines held a conference in Cleveland, and determined that mines in the Pittsburg district should be started and operated without futher delay, on the grounds that the miner* b4ve taken a high-handed position; that nothing but an unreasonable price for raining will satisfy their demand. It was determined that all coal sold at the 54-cent basis of mining this year must be mined at that price. At least three-fourths of the tonnage of the Pittsburg district -was—represeniedJit the conference, and all are unanimous and agree to, if necessary, forcibly resume operations, with the exception of M.

Martial law has to all intents and and purposes been declared In Plum, French and Italian Princes Fight a Dnel The count of Turin (prince of Naples) and Prince Henri of Orleans fOught a duel with swords at Pans. The fighting was most determined and lasted 26 minutes. There were sfive engagements, of which two were at close quarters. Prince Henri received two serious wounds in the right shoulder and the right side of the abdomen. The count of Turin was wounded In the right hand. Prince Henri will recover unless complications set in. The duel grew out of certain criticisms made by Prince Henri of Orleans upon the conduct of Italian officers and soldiers while prisoners of Emperor Menelik, in Abyssinia. Congressman Ashley B.

Judge Jackson, of Wheeling, W. Va., has given a new construction to his injunction against the strikers in the Fairmont region and In the Loup Creek valley which makes It mandatory upon the strikers to discontinue all marches, the marching being considered a form of intimidation. In Wheeling there is a serious coal famine, 500 families being without fuel. Factories are closed and 10,000 men are thrown out of employment Strike Notes. Two deputies, Robert Kerr and Frank Anderson, employed as guards for the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal Co., fought at the Sandy Creek mine and as a result Kerr was fatally shot in the abdomen. Over 2,500 miners of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre collieries in the the Honeybrook district, near Hazleton, Pa., went on a strike. This is the first defection among the miners of eastern Pennsylvania. Some Bellaire, 0., miners wanted to return to work, but a vote was taken and it was decided to shut down every mine in the district It is said this will cause a number of large manufacturing plants to close down at Bellaire and probably the city electric and waterworks plants as well.

There is not one portion of our organism that is so overworked as the kidneys; on them is placed the important function of filtering the blood of the impurities which naturally form in the regular action of life and digestion. The kidneys are consequently termed the sewerage of the system; clog up this sewer, and the blood becomes tainted with poisonous uric acid, which brings on disease in many forms. The back is the first to show this stoppage. From there comes the warning note; it should be heeded, and the kidneys receive prompt attention. Doan's Kidney Pills will right the action of the kidneys quickly, relieve the back of pains and aches, and cure all troubles of kidneys and bladder. Read the following: Mr, Win.

Mr. Hixon, a tall, pale, close-shaven youug clergyman, sat In his Gothic study, with a vase of rosebuds before bis sheets of sermon paper, and a stack of new pent all placed ready for use. Ma J. Clark, short and stout, with a fringe of white whiskers around his rubicund countenance, was smoking a cigar on the doorstep. Mr. Hixon disliked the odor of Havanas, and Maj. Clark despised the rosebuds. B u t they were both mildly tolerant of the other's weakness. Maj. Clark had an idea that it looked respectable t o be on social terms with your clergyman, and Mr. Hixon, w h o had only recently accepted a call to Snagtown, depended a good deal on Maj. Clark's thorough acquaintance with the people and the place. And, to speak truth, t h e beautiful, rose-garlanded parsonage was not altogether without its thorns. Mr. Hixon knew nothing about housekeeping, and the old woman, w h o had always managed the domestic helm for his predecessor, had just retired tmm hn*\nam* on a legacy. And the topic which Maj. Clark and he were discussing at that especial moment was how to re-^ Place Betsey A n n Snedecor. -So. Mr. Hixon took the major's advice and Inserted an advertisement in the Snagtown Weekly Trumpet. The major gave it to the editor w i t h the dollar which was t o guarantee its prompt insertion. And the Snagtown Weekly Trumpet had not decorated the breakfast table of the citizens for half an hour on the Wednesday morning of its issue when Mr. Hixon, studying out the "fifthly" of his next week's sermon, was startled by a tap at the door, and in walked a lady. A young lady. And rather a pretty lady, with a flush on her cheeks a s red as the Rev. Mr. Hixon's own rosebuds, pretty brown hair and dark bint eyes veiled with long lashes. "Ah!" stammered Mr. Hixon, rising rather awkwardly, "how do y o u do, Miss Lennox? A fine morning after the rain. Pray be seated—pray favor me by occupying this chair!" For he had seen Barbara Lennox several times, called once at her father's snug little farmhouse, and put down her name in his list of people to be visited frequently.

"Oh!" said Mr. H l x o n , reddening up to the roots of his hair, as he remembered the advertisement. "Ah, yes! H a v e you any trustworthy person w h o m you can recommend?" "Myself," said Barbara.

"Yes," said Barbara; " w h y n o t ? I am such a mere useless doll in the world now.

"Do you think, by dear Miss Lennox, that y o u are strong enough?" dubiously asked the clergyman. She laughed a merry bobolink sort of laugh. "I," cried she, "strong enough? I could do anything.

"No, but there must be a first beginning to everything," said Barbara, cheerfully.

"My work is light," added the clergyman, "and of course you would have a great deal of time to yourself." "Oh, but I w a n t to be kept busy," pleaded Barbara. "I—I am afraid you are too young," said Mr. Hixon In desperation. "Too young!" cried Barbara. "What difference does that make?"

"But," cried Barbara, w i t h very wide-open eyes, "who is talking about a maid-servant?" "You," said Mr. Hixon. "Aren't you?" "Indeed I'm not," said Barbara. "Didn't y o u allude to my advertisement for a servant-maid, which appeared in this morning's S n a g t o w n Weekly Trumpet?" asked Mr. Hixon, feeling as if the world were all turning upside down, and he were losing his hold o n creation In general. "No," said Barbara Lennox. "I alluded to an editorial in the s a m e paper which called t h e attention of the public to t h e lack of workers in t h e field of domestic missions."

Adams. n Smoking too ma(/y cheap cigars has resulted unfortunately for John Decker of Bloomingdale. His tongue has swoolen up so badly, that it is too large for his mouth, and he cannot shut the latter. N o young man was ever complimented for being a .loafer and no one -war ever critised for being a gentleman. This is a truth that all men can take to heart and a consideration of it will do them no harm. ''Say" said qne little urchin to another the other day as they sat on^the^sidewalk midway between the barber shop and the printing office, "which would you rather be, a barber er a priutin offis?" «'Oh, I'd ruther be a barber. They get lots of money. Fellers go the printin offis when he's mad." An Owosso girl recently accepted a Durand young man's invitation to go riding. During the course of the drive the subject of fortune-telling was broached and he asked her if she believed iu palmistry. "I believe" she said "that if I saw the lineB in one of your hands, I could fortell that we would have a very delightful drive." He immediately caught on, grasped the lines with one hand and the situation with the other.—Ex. A publisher is like the owner of a building, he has space to rent. He would rather lease it to the home merchant than to a stranger and it is only the empty building that becomes the abode of the owl and the bat. Again he is like the miller. He has a plant and must have a grist or the stones will run dry and the mill take fire. He must not shut down or the hands will be idle and the insurance invalid. Keep the hopper full of live ads and grind out the dollars while the pack peddler with his sack of cheat goes on to the next "town. If men were like watches. If they were as clean inside and outside. If they kept such good hours; were so well behaved. If they could be trusted as well in the dark. If they could do their work as faithfully, and without grumbling. If the^were as content and satisfied with their environment. If they did as much for others and did it as freely. If they were in all. things as true and reliable as a good watch, the Paradise Lost in the old Eden would be transformed into the heaven of which the little children sing. > Over the line in Hillsdale county lives a young man who does not care much about seeing his name in the paper, but he has solved the pot ato bug problem, at least so far as his own patch is concerned. He has taken a regular orchard spray pump and it is mounted on a barrel and placed it op a frame of a two horse cultivator. Then with one hand to work. the pomp handle, the other to hold the nozzle and his foot to guide the cultivator he cultivates a row of potatoes as fast *s the horses can walk and dispenses liquid death among the bags with no extra trouble save the cost of a bof to drive the team. A noticeable effect of the Dingley tariff bill is t)*e increase in the price of cigarettes. Users of the so called i "coffiiw. nails" are now compelled to put down eight instead of five cents for a package. Additional Local. Pinckney will soon have another meat-market.

Her name is not Nightingale, but Shore, her father being a .Nottingham banker who inherited the estates of Peter Nightingale on condition that he assume the name. Von Moltke was an early riser and loved early risers. Once, while roaming around his Silesian estate at daybreak, he found a peasant woman bearing on her back a sack of potatoes which she had just dug, making a load heavy enough for a mule. "Here's a thaler for you," said' the great field marshal; "you see, the early bird catches t h e worm." Afterward he found out that she was a .night thief who had ravaged his fields persistently, bHt whem his steward had never got up early enough to catch. The first factory for making pins was established in New York in 1812, and in the same year the first rolling mill was put into operation in Pittsburg.

Macaulay's memory was so retentive that after reading a book once, he could give all the «»H?nt points nf ft, and recite many long passages of it verbatim.

Many a born leader has died disappointed because he couldn't find anybody who wanted to be led. The man who never knows when he is licked can generally be identified by his battered countenance. Folks who buy things just because they are cheap are always complaining of the scarcity of ready money. The girl who entertains her beau on the front porch while her mother washes the dishes may be good company, but she is likely to prove expensive.

From British Columbia come accounts of. a "Chinese cheap labor" scare. Caucasian workers in the mines are alarmed over the prospect of the Chinese crowding them o u t On this side of the border the cheap labor cry has lost much of its power to raise alarm.

Clark was something more tban an artisan of wonderful skill; he was a man of high scientific attainment*. But it was as am artisan that he was pre-eminent and performed his highest service for human enlightenment This man. who had done more than all others to assist the eye to penetrate the mysteries of space, often In his later y e a n expressed the wish that he might live long enough to see what would be revealed by the lens that was his last and greatest work, This wish was not realized. But no living man knows what wonders are revealed to those who have passed "beyond the stars.*' Hot traveler can Question the comfort or the convenience of the soon-to-becompleted trojley line which will cross the Nile and connect Cairo with the Pyramids; but, alas! for the traditions of the past, and the associations * Itch the thought o* J&gypt brings to mind! The ancient days, will be 'oat in the modem improvement, and when one can step from an electric car and visitthat magnificent museum being built near the site of the Boulak Museum and see the mummies of the great and venerated Egyptian kings and rulers in their "appropriate" alcoves, will there remain any romance or veneration of the past, any wonder Of the desert, a n r mastery of the flphynx? Owing to the rapid development duri n g the last few years of new wheatproducing areas in other parts of the world and the increasing competition the United'States is tftftss compelled to meet in tho mark£ts o&JBorope, tbe future disposal of our sarplns wheat is becoming a problem of no little importance. As a solution of this difficulty it has been suggested that the changes now taking mane in the civilizations of Japan a n * China, may result in the opening there of markets for our wheat that w » to some extant compensate us for possible losses to be Incurred through the growing competition of other countries in the Buro- :pean markets we were formerly able to control There are certainly some very encouraging indications as to the plausibility of this suggestion. Chief , among these indications is the remarkable manner in which our exnortatlons of wheat to Eastern Asia have increased during the decade just *»i^p«»»f Most of this wheat is shipped In the form of flour, the exports of grain being comparatively small. The total shipments of wheat flour from the United States to Japan and China (including Hongkong) during the. ten years ended Jttne 30, 1894, according to the official trade returns published by the Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury Department, amounted to fully 6,000,- 000 barrels, and by far the larger part o! this quantity was exported i n the Utter hatf of th* decade. SLAUGHTER OP MEN, LAST S U N D A Y ' S SUBJECT. ."W Rjrom the FoUowluf T « t , F £ Chapter VII, Vene SSi "A* Proverbs, • a OS to th» SUughUr"—K««p Clear of the Loan Shark*. HERE is nothing in the voice or manner of the butcher to Indicate to the ox that there is death ahead. The ox thinks he is going to a rich pasture field of clover where all day long he will revel in the herbaceous luxuriance; , but after awhile* the men and the boys close in upon him with sticks and stones and shouting, and drive him through bars and lntq a doorway, where he is fastened, and with wellaimed stroke the axe fells him; and so the anticipation of the redolent pasture field is completely disappointed. So many a young man has been driven on by temptation to what he thought would be paradisiacal enjoyment; but after awhile influences with darker hue and swarthier arm close In upon him and he finds that instead of making an excursion into a garden, he has been driven "as an ox to the slaughter." We are apt to blame young men for being destroyed when we ought to blame the influences that destroy them. Society slaughters a great many young men by the behest, "You must keep up appearances; whatever be your salary, you must dress as well as others, you must give wine and brandy to as many friends, you must smoke as costly cigars, you must give as expensive entertainments, and you must live in as fashionable a boarding house. If you haven't the money, borrow. If you can't borrow, make a false entry, or subtract here and there a bill from a bundle of bank bills; you will only have to make the deception a little while; in a few months or in a year or two you can make it all right. Nobody will be hurt by It, nobody will be the wiser. Tou yourself will not be damaged." By that awful process a hundred thousand men have been slaughtered for time and slaughtered for eternity. Suppose you borrow. There is nothing wrong about borrowing money. There is hardly a man who has not sometimes borrowed money. Vast estates have been built on a borrowed dollar. But there are two kinds of borrowed money: Money borrowed for the purpose of starting or keeping up legitimate enterprise and expense, and money borrowed to get that which you can do without. The first is right, the other is wrong. If you have money enough of your own to buy a coat, however plain, and then you borrow money for a dandy's outfit, you have taken the first revolution of the wheel down grade. Borrow for the necessities; that may be well. Borrow for the luxuries; that tips your prospects over in the wrong direction. The Bible distinctly says the borrower is servant of the lender. It is a bad state of things when you have to go down some other street to escape meeting some one whom you owe. If young men knew what is the despotism of being in debt, more of them would keep out of it. What did debt do for Lord Bacon, With a mtud lowering above the centuries? It induced him to take bribes and convict himself as a criminal before all ages. What did debt do for Walter Scott? Broken-hearted at Abbotsford. Kept him writing until his hand gave out in paralysis to keep the sheriff away from his pictures and statuary. Better for him if he had minded the maxim which he had chiseled over the fireplace at Abbotsford, "Waste not, want not." The trouble is, my friends, that peo- •ple do not understand the ethics of going in debt, and that 1f you purchase goods with no expectation of paying for them, or go into debts which you cannot meet, you steal just so much money. If I go into a grocer's store and I buy sugars and coffees and meats with no capacity to pay for them, and no intention of paying for them, I am more dishonest than If I go into the store, and when the grocer's face Is turned the other way I fill my pockets with the articles of merchandise and carry off a ham! In one case I take the merchant's time and I take the time of his messenger to transfer the goods to my house, while in the other case I take none of the time of the merchant, and I wait upon myself, and I transfer the goods without any trouble to him! In other words, a sneak thief is not so bad as a man who contracts debts he never expects to pay. * • « When a young man wilfully and of choice, having the comforts of life, goes into the contraction of unpayable debts, he knows not into what he goes. The cred1toasg*t after the debtor, the pack of hounds in fall cry, and alas! for the reindeer. T h e r jing/e his doorbell before he gets up in the morning, they jingle his doorbell after he has gone to bed at night. They meet him as he comes of? hio front steps. They send him a postal card, or a letter, in curtest style, tellng him to pay up. They attach his goods. They want cash, or a note at thirty days, or a note on demand. They call him a knave. They say he lies. They want him disciplined in the church. They want him turned out of the bank. They come at him from this side, and from that side, and from before, and from behind, and from above, and from beneath, and be is insulted, and gibbeted, and sued, and dunned, and sworn at, until he gets the nervous dyspepsia, gets neuralgia, gets liver complaint, gets heart disease, gets convulsive disorder, gets consumption. Now he is dead, and you say, "Of course they will let him alone." Oh.no! Now they are watchful to see whether there are any unnecessary expenses at the obsequies, to see whether there is any useless handle on the casket, to see whether there Is any surplus plait on the shroud, to see whether the hearse is costly or cheap, to see whether the flowers sent to the casket have been bought by the family or donated, to see in whose name the deed to the grave is made out. Then they ransack the bereft household, the books,. the pictures, the carpets, the chairs, the sofa, the piano, the mattresses, the pillow on which he died. Cursed be debt! For the Bake of your own happiness, for the sake of your good morals, for the sake of your immortal soul, for Ood's sake, young man, as far as possible, keep out of it. But I think more young men are slaughtered through irreligion. Take away a young man's religion and you make him the prey of evil. We all know that the Bible is the only perfect system of morals. Now, if you want to destroy the young man's moralB, take his Bible away. How will you do that? Well, you will caricature his reverence for the Scriptures, you will take all those incidents of the Bible which can be made mirth of—Jonah's whale, Samson's foxes, Adam's rib—then you will caricature eccentric Christians, or inconsistent Christians, then you will pass off as your own all those hackneyed arguments against Christianity which are as old as Tom Paine, as old as Voltaire, as old as sin. Now, you have captured his Bible, and you have taken his strongest fortress; the way is comparatively clear, and all the gates of his soul are set open in invitation to the sins of earth and the sorrows of death, that they may come in and drive the stake for their encampment. A steamer fifteen hundred miles from shore with broken rudder and lost compass, and hulk leaking fifty gallons the hour, is better off than a young man when you have robbed him of his Bible. Have you ever noticed how despicably mean It is to take away the world's Bible without proposing a substitute? It 1B meaner than to come to a sick man and steal his medicine, meaner than t.> come to a cripple and steal his ciutch, meaner than to came to a pauper and steal his crust, meaner than to come to a poor man and burn his hcusc down. It is the worst of,all larcenies to steal, the Bible which has been crutch and medicine and food and eternal home to so many. What a generous and magnanimous business Infidelity has gone into! This splitting up of life-boats, and taking away of fire-escapes, and extinguishing of light-houses. I come out and I say to such people, "What are you doing all thiE for?" "Oh!" they say, "just for fun." It is such fun to see Christians try to hold on to their Bibles! Many of them have lost loved ones, and have been told that there in a resurrection, and it is such fun to tell them there win be no resurrection! Many of them have believed that Christ came to cafry the burdens and to heal the wounds of the world, and it is such fun to tell them they will have to be their own saviour! Think of the meanest thing you ever heard of; then go down a thousand feet underneath it, and you will find yourself at the top of a stairs a hundred miles long; go to the bottom of the stairs, and you will find a ladder a thousand miles long; then go to the foot of the ladder and look off a precipice half as far as from here to China, and you will find the headquarters of the meanness that would rob this world of Its only comfort in life, ltd only peace in death, and its only hope for immortality. Slaughter a young man's faith in God, and there is not much more left to slaughter. Now, what has become of the slaughtered? Well, some of them are in their father's or mother's house, broken down in health, waiting to die; others ar3 in the hospital, others are in the cemetery, or, rather, their bodies are, for their souls have gone on to retribution. Not much prospect for a young man who started life with good health, and good education, and a Christian example set him, and opportunity of usefulness, who gathered all his treasures and put them ,in one box, and then dropped it into the sea. Now, how is ,this wholesale slaughter to be stopped? There is not a person- who is not interested in that question. The object of my sermon is to pu» a weapon in each of your hands for your own defense. Wait not for Young Men's Christian Associations to protect ycu, or dn.c'ies to protect you. Aji:o:i!::"r t^ Co? for help, take care of jov,:: •.'.*. First, have a room somewhere that you can call your own.

Only have that One. room jrov^ ^fa explosions; attempted oreocomfortress. Let not the dlisipater or unclean L step aver . the threshold. If they come up the long flight of stairs and knock at the door, meet them face to face and kindly yet firmly refuse them admittance. Have a lew family portraits on the wall, if you brought them with you from your country home. Have a Bible on the stand. If you can afford it and can play on one, have an Instrument of music—harp, or flute, or cornet, or melodeon, or violin, or piano. Every morning before you leave that room pray. Every night after you come home in that room pray. Make that room your Gibraltar, your Sebastopol, your Mount Zlon. Let no bad book or newspaper come into that room any more than you would allow a cobra to coil on your table. Take care of yourself. Nobody else will take care of you. Your help will not come up two, or three, or four flights of stairs; your help will come through the roof, down from heaven, from that God who in the six thousand years of the world's history never betrayed a young man who tried to be good and a Christian. Let me say in regard to your adverse worldly circumstances, in passing that you are on a level now with those who are finally to succeed. Mark my words, young man, and think of it thirty years from now. You will find that those who thirty years from now are the millionaires of this country, who are the orators of the country, who are the poets of the country, who are the strong merchants of the country, who are the great philanthropists of the c o u n t r y - mightiest in church and state—are this morning on \ level with you, not an inch above, and^ou in straightened circumstances now. \_ Herschel earned h i s i i v l n g by playing a violin at parties, and in the interstices of the play he would go out and look up at the midnight heavens, the fields of his Immortal conquests.

No outfit, ho capital to start with! young man, go down to the library and get some books and read of what wonderful mechanism God gave you in your hand, in your foot, in your, eye, in your ear, and then ask some doctor to take you Into the dissecting room and illustrate to you what you have read about, and never again commit the blasphemy of saying you have no capital to start with. Equipped! Why, the poorest young man is equipped as only the God of the whole universe could afford to equip him. Then his body—a very poor affair compared with hiT wonderful soul—Oh, that is what makes me so solicitous. I am not so much anxious about you, young man, because you have so Uttle to do with, as I am anxious about you because you have so much to risk and lose or gain. There is no class of persons that so stirs my sympathies as young men in great cities. Not quite enough salary to live on, and all the temptations that come from that deficit.

Another bomb was exploded in a private road between the vieierate {offices of the grand vizier) ^and tbe state council house. One man was. killed and several others were severity Jnjured. It is rumored that a similar'outrage wai attempted within the" palace* limits. The most abject terror prevails in the precincts of tbe palace.

Every trade center reports Increase of trade,-and nearly all bright crop prospects, Tbe great improvement In business Is emphasised by tbe presence of a multitude of buyers from all parts of tbe coantry, by tbeir statements of tbe situation at tbeir homes, and more forcibly yet by the heavy purchases they are making; Butthe customary signs of prosperity are not lacking. The urgency of French buying of wheat, reports that Russia will stop exports In order to keep supplies for itself and continued shipments from the Pacific to countries usually having a surplus, make even the largest estimates of probable supplies not too great for the possible demand. In all of the great industries a large demand for products appears with strong speculation In materials and intermediate products. •>Jt 'v< 'j • . > INTERNATIONAL. M C S S ASSOCIATION. CHAPTER XV. HKN Miaa Hetherington left the Frenchman's rooms that afternoon, she tottered like one enfeebled by the sudden oncoming of age. M o n s i e u r Causstdjere was beside her; it was his hand which placed her in her carriage, his head which bowed politely as the carriage moved away. But the lady teemed neither to see nor hear. Her face was deathly pale and her eyes were*fixed; she entered the carriage mechanically, and mechanically lay tack among the moth-eaten cushions; but she never came to herself until the carriage stopped before the door of Annandale Castle. The approaching carriage wheels had been heard by the inmates of the Castle, so that when the vehicle stopped there stood Sahdle Sloane ready to assist hl« mistress to alight. With her usual erect carriage and firm tread, Miss Hetherington stepped from the vehicle, and walked up the stone steps to the Cattle door, saying, as she patted the old serving man: "dandle Sloane, come ben wl' me!" She walked on, Sandie following. They walked into the great diningroom, and the door closed upon the two. What passed at that interview no one knew; but half an hour later Sandie came forth, returned to the kitchen, and sat there crying like a heart broken child. "Mysie," said he to the housekeeper, "Mysie, woman, I'm turned awa'—oot on the world. God help me! The mistress has shown me the door of Annandale Castle." It was not till two daft later that Mr. Lorraine, happening to call at the -Castle, heard that Mitt Hetherington icould not sea him, for she had taken to .her bed and was seriously 111. He heard also from Mysie, who seemed scared and wild, that her mistress had never been herself tinea that night when Sandie Sloane had been driven from his situation. The clergyman, more shocked and mystified, asked to be allowed to see the lady, but My tie refuted to permit him to place hit foot inside the door. After a little persuasion, however, the consented to allow him to remain on the threshold while she went and informed her mistress of hit call. In a short time the woman returned, and Mr. Lorraine was at once admitted to the bedside of the mistress of the bouse. Mr. Lorraine began forthwith to express his regrets at the lady's illness, but he was at once stopped. "'Tweena' o' myself I wanted to apeak," she said in her hard, cold tones; " 'twas o' something that concerns you far more—where it Marjorie?" —"Varjorla 1s ai, the mtntfi," retnrnml the clergyman, dreading what the next •Question might be. "At the manse! and wherefore is the no at school? She should have gone back ere this." "Tee; she should have gone, but the lassie was not herself, to I kept hsr • with me. She is troubled fa hsr mind at what you said shoot the French lessons. Mist Hetherington, and the is afraid the has annoyed you." "And she would be sorry r* "How could the fail to be? You hae been her best friend." '" There was a great pause, which was broken by Hits Hetherington. "Mr. Lorraine/' said she, "I've aye tried to give you good advice about Marjorie. I kenned weel that twa silly man like yersel' and that fool Solomon Mucklebacklt wanted a woman's sharp wits and keen eyes to help them m.'r train the lassie. I'rs watched her dose and I see what maybe ye dlnna see. Therefore I advise you again—tend her awn* to Edinburgh for awhile—'twill be for her and*/* *«To Bsinbargh!" "Ay; do you tear she'll no obey?" «Not at all; when I tell hsr you wish i t the will go." Miss sTtftsssiigtiia eat holt upright, swd stared round the room like a stag at bay. "Iwls»ttr*s»exxdatme<L -I dinna wish tt-mind that. Mr. Lorraine, anybody dasss any I wish it. ye'll tell them tit a lee. Ton wish it; you'll send her awa'; 'tis fer the bairn'* good!" / Mr. Lorraine began to be of opinion I > that Mitt Hstastiaftoa't brain was affected; he ©ouid not account for her ecosntrtcity in any other way. Nevertheless her whims had to be attended to; and as in this ease they would cause no great inconvenience, he promised implicit obedience to her will. "Yes, you are right, Miss Hetherington; 'twill do the child good, and she shall go," he said, as he rose to take his leave. But the lady called him back. "Mr. Lorrane," she said, "send Marjorie up to me to say good-bye;" and having again promised to obey her, Mr. Lorraine, retired. When he reached home he was rather relieved to find that his foster child was out; when she returned, he was busily engaged with Solomon, and it was not indeed until after evening prayers that the two found themselves alone. Then Mr. Lorraine informed Marjorie that she was to go to her sister's house In Edinburgh for a time. The young girl was reluctant to leave her home, but did not dream of disobeying any wish of her foster-father. By early the next afternoon all was done, and as Marjorie was to start early on the morrow, she, in obedience to Mr. Lorraine's wish, put on her bonnet and went up to the Castle to wish: Mist Hetherington good-bye. She had heard from Mr. Lorraine that the lady was indisposed, but he had not spoken of the malady as serious, and she was therefore utterly unprepared for what she saw. She was admitted by Mysie, conducted along the dreary passage, and led at once toward Miss Hetherlngton's bedroom, "She's walttn' on ye," said Mysie; "she's been waitin' on ye all day." Marjorie stepped into the room, looked around, and theen shrank fearfully back toward the door. Could this be Miss Hetherington—this little shriveled old woman, with the dim oyss and thin silvery hair? She glanced keenly at Marjorie; then, seeing the girl shrink away, she held forth her hand and said; "Come awa' ben, Marjorie, my bairnle; come ben." "You—you are not well, Miss Hetherington," said Marjorie. "I am so sorry." She came forward and stretched forth her hand. Miss Hetherington took it, held it, and gazed up into the girl's face. "I'm no just mysel', Marjorie," she said, "but whiles the best of us come to this pass. Did ye think I was immortal, Marjorie Annan, and that the palsied anger o' death couldn't be pointed at me at weel as at another?" "Of death?" said Marjorie, instinctively withdrawing her hand from the old lady's tremulous grasp. "Oh, Mist Hetherington, you surely will not die!" "Wha can tell? Surely I shall die when my time comes, and wha will there be to shed a tear?" For a time there was silence; then Miss Hetherington spoke: "What more have you got to say to me, Marjorie Annan?" The girl started aa if from a dream, and roae hurriedly from her seat. Nothing more," she said. "Mr. Lorraine thought I had better come and with you good-bye. I am going away." "Mr. Lorraine!—you dldna wish it yersel'?" "Yes, I—I wished it " "Aweel, good-bye!" She held forth her trembling hands again, and Marjorie placed her warm fingers between them. "Good-bye, Miss Hetherington." She withdrew her hand and turned away, feeling that the good-bye had been spoken, and that her presence was no longer desired by the proud mistress of Annandale. She had got half way to the door when her steps were arrested— a voice called her back. "Marjorie! Marjorie Annan!" She turned, started, then running back, fell on her knees beside Miss Hetherlngton's chair. For the first time in her life Marjorie saw her crying. "Dear Miss Hetherington, what is it?" the said. " 'Tis the old tale, the old tale," repiled the lady, drying her eyes. "Won't you kits me, Marjorie. and say only onee that you're sorry to leave me sickening here?" "I/am Tory sorry," said Marjorie; then she timidly bent forward and touched the lady's cheek with her Klipt. Curiously enough, after having solicited the embrace, Mist Hetherington shrank away. "Cold and loveless,v she murmured. "But, Marjorie, my bairn, I'm no blaming ye for the sins of your forefathers. .Good-bye, lassie, good-bye." This time Marjorie did leave the room and the Castle, feeling thoroughly mystified as to .what it could all mean. -- CHAFTKR XVI. N the outaki/ta oi the town of Loith, aad on the direct road of communication between Lelth and Edinburgh, stood the plain abode of the Rev. Mungo Menteith, minister of the Free Kirk of Scotland. The Reverend Mr. Mentelth had at' pouted late In life the only sitter ol Mr. Lorraine, a little, timid, clinging woman, with fair hair and light blu« eyes, who was as wax in the bony hands of her pious husband, At the house of the pair one morning in early summer arrived Marjorie Annan, escorted thither In a hired fly from Edinburgh by the minister. It was by no means her first visit, and the wet come she received, if a little melancholy, was not altogether devoid of sym* patby. Her aunt was an affectionati creature, though weak and superstitious; and Mr. Mentieth, like many ol his class, was by no means as hard ai the doctrines he upheld. They, had no children of their own, and the coming of one so pretty and so close of kin was like a gleam of sunshine. A week patted away, with one supernatural dreary Sabbath, spent in what may be called, figuratively, walling and gnashing of teeth. At last there came a day of terrific dissipation, when what it known by profane Scotchmen as a "tea and cookie shine" was given by one of the eldersof the kirk. Early in the evening Mr. Menteith was called away, and when the meeting broke up about nine o'clock MarjorU and her aunt had to walk home alone. It was a fine moonlight night, and as they left the elder's house and lingered on the doorstep Marjorie saw standing in the street a figure which she seemed to know. She started and looked again, and the figure returned her look. In a moment to her utter amazement, she recognized Caussldiere. Startled and afraid, not knowing what to say or do, she descended the steps to her aunt's side. As she did so the figure disappeared. She walked up the street, trembling and wondering, while Mrs. Mentelth talked with feeble rapture of the feast they had left and its accompanying "edification." Marjorie made some wandering reply, for she heard footsteps behind her. Glancing over her shoulder, she saw the figure she had previously noticed following at a few yards' distance. She would have paused and waited, but she dreaded the observation of hez companion. So the simply walked faster, hurrying her aunt along. They passed from the street, and still she heard the feet following behind her. At last they reached the gate of the minister's bouse. Here Marjorie lingered, and watching down the road saw the figure pause and wait. Mrs. Menteith pushed open the gate, hastened across the garden, and knocked at the door. In a moment the figure came up rapidly. "Hush, mademoiselle!" said a familiar voice in French and simultaneously she felt a piece of paper pressed into her band. She grasped It Involuntarily and before she could utter a word the figure flitted away. / —Meantime the house door had/openedr "Marjorie!" cried Mrs. Menteith from the threshold. Marjorie hastened in. "What kept ye at the gate, and who was yon that passed f "A man—a gentleman." "Did he speak to your' Without reply, Marjorie passed in. -.As soon as possible she hastened up to her own room, locked the doer, and there with trembling fingers unfolded the paper and read as follows: "I have something Important to say to you. Meet me tomorrow at noon on the Edinburgh road., Pray tell no one that you have received this, tor that 1 am here. "Leon Causaidiere." Majorie sat down trembling with the paper in her lap. Her first impulse was to inform her aunt of what had taken place. A little reflection, however, convinced her that this would be undesirable. After alL she thought, the had no right to assume that Canssidiers's message had &ot a perfectly innocent significance. Perhaps he bad brought her news from home. It was not an easy task for Marjorie to *eep her appointment on the following day; indeed, everything teamed to conspire to keep her at horns. To begin with, the family were mock later than usual; then it teemed to Marjorie that the prayers were unusually long; then Mr. Menteith had various ttttsf things for her to do J so that the hands of the clock wandered toward twelve before she was able to gait tfco house. At last the was free, and with palpitating heart and trembling hands was speeding along the road to mast the Frenchman. (TO tSOOlTT BO.) Pertinent Questions, Why Will a Woman Throw Away Her Get€ Looks and Comfort? Why will a woman drag out a sickly, half-hearted existence and miss three-quarters oi the joy of living, when she has health almost within her grasp f If she does not value her good look*, does she not value her comfort ? Why, my sitter, will you tuf* fer that dull pain in the smalXoi your back, those bearing-down, dragging sensations in the loins, that terrible fullness in the lower bowel, caused by constipation, proceeding from the womb lying over and pressing on the rectum ? Do you know that these are signs of displacement, and that you will never be well while that lasts? What a woman needs who Is thus affected is to strengthen the ligaments to they will keep her organs in place. There is nothing better for this purpose than Lydia £. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. The great volunjf of testimony which is constantly rolling in, proves that the Compound is constantly curing thousands oi just such cases. The following letter from Mrs. Marlow is only one of many thousands which Mra. Pinkham has received this year from those she has relieved—surely such testimony it convincing: "My trouble commenced after the birth of my last ehHd. J did not know what was the matter with me. My husband went to our family physician and described my symptoms* and he said I had displacement and falling of the womb. He sent me some medicine, but it did little good. I let it go on about two years, and every time I did any bard work my womb would come down. Finally a lady friend advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound, which I did. The first bottle helped me so much, I continued to take it right along My back was almost the same as no back. X could not lift scareely any weight. My life was just a drag to me. To-day Z am well of my womb trouble, and have a good, strong back, thanks to Mrs. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound."—Mas. L.

PINOCHET PUBLIC SCHOOLS Will Begin Tuesday, Sept. 7. On Tuesday of next week, September 7, the public schools of this place will again resume business after a vacation of ten weeks, and it is perfectly safe to say that the corps of teachers engaged are perfectly capable to keep the school at its present high grade if not better, which we hope may be the case if such a thing be possible. The teachers for the coming year are as follows: High school, Prof. Stephen Dor fee; Grammar depti Charles L. Grimes; Intermediatedept, Miss Nina Jones; Primary dept, Miss Jessie Green. The school board will not issue a catalogue this year, so teachers and pupils will be governed by the one issued in 1995-6, with the exception that something may be added. It is - to be hoped that the pupils will attend, as far as possible, the first week so as to take up the work with toe rest and this will save the trouble of "making up." Pinckney schools have always had an excellent record and it is hoped that all concerned will try and make this year no exception. Parents, you have a good deal to do towards assisting the teachers in their work. See to it thaTfeur children are punctual in their attendance and it will help matters * great deal if you will set apart sjt least nue hajf day once hi twoweeki<ifn*toftaer)fera visit to the school, especially the department where your children attend.

TiHatar ^1 Struble, cashier of the Farmers' bank, at Shepherd, Mich., was found in the bank with three bullet wounds in his body, one near his heart. He was unconscious when found by EL A. Wisdom, proprietor of a.-. hand ware store in the came building in- which the bank was located, , and was lying on the flour in the office. He was carried to his home, and rallied enough to make a sworn statement as to who fired the shots, and died about an hour later. Robbers completely looted the bank, leaving but flu, which was found under the counter. The People's Savings bank at Mt Pleasant failed and J. F. Ryan, proprietor of the Farmers' bank, telephoned the cashier, asking him if he anticipated any danger of a run on the bank as a result of the fail* ure at Mt Pleasant, and requested the cashier of the Farmers' bank to bring him the deposit ledger at an early hour in the morning. Mi*. Struble said he thought no trouble would follow, and volunteered to bring the books wanted before banking hours in the morning. At 4 o'clock in the morning he went to the bank to get the books. The parties who fired the fatal shots were either in the building at the time when he entered or followed. Four shots were fired, three of which took effect, one passing through the body and piercing the left lung, one in the shoulder and one in the wrist The finding of the bullets was proof conclusive that the shots were fired at the cashier while he was in the vault It cannot be learned how much was stolen, as the individual deposit, the certificate of deposit, the general and draft ledgers, were stolen. Not a cent was left in the bank, and no other books were disturbed. J. F. Ryan says that all losses will be made good to a c e n t Discrepancies have been discovered in Struble's statement, as two of the parties he named are many miles away. The officers are doing ail in their power to ferret out the perpetrators, and detectives are now at work on the case. Legal advice is carefully taken that a wrong move may be avoided. U. P. Miasm Refase to Strike. The attempt of the officers of the iron miners' union in Ishpeming, Negaunee and other upper peninsula mining towns to induce the union men to strike unless all non-union men were discharged resulted in a big failure. The workmen have all been told that the non-unionists shall be kept at work and protected, if necessary; in the event of a walk-out of the unionists. The merchants and people of the iron country are jubilant that the strike did not materialize. They remember the hardships of the previous one. The strikers would have very little sympathy, for all know that the mines are not making much money at the present prices for ore. One peculiarity of this strike agitation is that the non-union miners have a good organization, and this perhaps dampens the ardor of the union leaders. Work of lioads. A farm house owned and occupied by Samuel Carson and situated three miles north of Galesburg was, by a second attempt, wrecked by dynamite. Mr. Carson is a farmer and capitalist owning a residence in the village, where his family resides. He is TO years of age and is wealthy. Besides himself, a woman and her son residing in the family, were in the building a t the time of the explosion, which is described as having been terriac. The destruction was complete. Strange to say, aside from slight injuries, none of the occupants were h u r t There are various reasons alleged for these attempts upon Mr. Carson's life and property. Investigation shows the damage to have been caused by placing dynamite about two feet from the foundation of the house and attaching a fuse some 45 feet in length. The Crop BeHetta.

The last rail of the new Milwaukee, Benton Harbor 4c Columbus railroad, from Benton Harbor to Buchanan, has been laid. The people of Berrien Springs celebrated the event, which is expected to result in a big boom for the village, so long without communication with the outside world, save by the wagon roads. While thrashing was in progress on the farm of Lewis Lefevere, near Galeaburg, a bundle of wheat containing some explosive, presumably dynamite, was fed into the cylinder. The whole interior of the b a m was instantly in flames and the season's crops, together with an entirely hew ator, the latter the property of J< Simmons, were destroyed. The who was feeding was blown opt of the door and seriously burned. Fire broke out in Ed Croarkin'a clothing store in the Masonic block at Dexter and threatened to destroy the building and spread to other structures. Ann Arbor was appealed to for help, but the home bucket brigade did such excellent work the fire was gotten under control before the engine arrived. The building is a three-story brick and was J imaged $1,000. Ed Croarkm's loss on stock is $8,000, while E. Jedele's meat market was damaged STOij. Genfereaee a Failure. The effort to arrange a plan for ending the big coal strike has proved a failure, and the strike goes on. At a conference between a committee of coal operators and miners, national and district officials at Pittsburg, they were unable to agree, and the conference adjourned without date. The miners' representatives did not recede from their original proposition to settle the stritce by arbitration and start the mines at the GO-cent rate. The operators offered to divide the difference between the 54 and 69-cent rates, making the price at which the mines should start 01½ cents per ton, but this was rejected. Then additional propositions were made. One was to start the mines without fixing any price for So-days and then pay the rate agreed upon by the board of arbitration. This was also refused by the miners, and they said they had been fooled top often to trust the operators again, They declined to work for a month, giving the operators the output for that length of time without knowing what wages would be paid. President Ratchford gave out the following statement: "We have disagreed. Our proposition remained unchanged. Besides our proposition to arbitrate, we made them a second one along the lines of bringing about a general conference of miners and operators of all mining states. They refused to lend their efforts in that direction, and the strike will be continued. We have no other plans for the future." The outlook after the adjournment of the conference seemed to be encouraging for the miners as some of the operators favor a complete surrender. Striking Miner* Steal a Train. Over 700 striking miners at We lis ton, 0., headed by three brass bands, flagged a C, H. <fc D. train, which they then took possession of with the intention of going to Oak Hill where there was a mine'in operation. The trainmen refused to proceed and backed their train to the depot, where they were ordered by officials of the road to go ahead. Arriving at Oak Hill, the strikers marched to the mine and demanded that the men come o u t This the men did upon being assured that no harm was intended if they conducted themselves r i g h t The men then held a meeting and informed the strikers thst they would not work until the strike is settled. They were then compelled to march with the strikers through the principal street of Oak Hill. When the strikers were ready to return to Wellston then captured a B. &. O. 8. W. train and when the conductor refused to move his train they informed him that they would remain on board until it did go. The conductor gave in. This is the second time that the strikers have taken men out of Oak Hill mine, and they threaten to make trouble If a third visit becomes necessary. 4 ^ , O 0 0 , . V * T 9 M^JfCH.

The firs^t day's program consisted of a reception to Commander- in-chief Clarksont the opening of Camp J e w e t t a city of tents on the bluff shores of Lake Erie at the mouth of Niagara river. Thousands of veterans and other visitors made the first day an opportunity to see Niagara falls and other points of interest. On the second day. the visit of the nation's chief executive, President Mc- Klnley, and his, party, which Included Secretary of War Alger, was an attraction drew the thousand* back into the city. From the moment that the special train that bore the President arrived until he retired, there was one glorious and spontaneous demonstration. Even when with Mrs. McKiniey and Gov. Black the President had entered hi.i hotel aud vanished from sight, tuere followed after him the cheers of the people until he was obliged to come to the balcony where, after order had been restored, he made a brief «peech of thanks for the generous welcome given him. Later in day Columbia Post, of Chicago, arrived at the hotel and acted as escort to the Presideut to the Ellicott building, where the post entertained the President at a banquet As the President passed from the hotel to the banquet hall the police had to literally drive a way through for the carriages, and at the Ellicott club the corridors were so densely packed that the President had to be lifted through by stalwart policemen. In the reception room of the club he met prominent citizens of Buffalo and then lie entered the banquet hall as the guest ot honor of Columbia post, with 500 other distinguished guests and soldiers. When an elaborate menu hud been discussed to the satisfaction of the guests the toastmaster called for (n»v. Frank S. Black, of New York, who extended a welcome for Columbia post to President Mc- Kiniey. When President McKiniey was introduced for fully five minutes it seemed as though the roof would have to raise with the roarsof applause and greeting. He was finally able to be heard and he replied in a pleasant, simple speech which caught his hearers' fancy and the applause was repeated when he had finished. Secretary of War Alger. Commander-in-Chief Clark son, and Archbishop Ireland were among the other speakers. There were fully 200,000 people on the streets of Buffalo when the 45,000 veterans of 1861-65 marched before the applauding multitude to the strains of martial music which brought back to them with great vividness many scenes which had grown dim in the intervening years. It was a grand,a noble an, inspiring patriotic sight to see these 45,000 men a s they marched the streets, which were made glorious, in decorations of flags and bunting, receiving the ovations of The vast throngs of people. The President of the Union they fought to save, himself their comrade, was at their head. The procession moved for six hours. Along the route 1,000 girls' dressed in the colors of the flag scattered flowers in the path of the soldiers. President MeKinley rode in a carriage at the head of the procession and waved his hat at the cheering crowd. At the reviewing stand he took his position with Commander-in- Chief Clarkson and Gov. Black, and the headquarters staff passed in review. Of all the throng viewing the proces- PreeMoat of Uraajaajr. President Idiarte Borda was shot and killed as he was leaving the cathedral at Montevideo, Uruguay, where the Te Deum had just been sung in honor of the national fetes. The murderer, a youth masned Arredoado, was arrested. Borda was elected three years ago by a small majority, and he has always been very unpopular. White the assassination is universally denounced the removal of President Borda front the control of her affairs is a good thing for Uruguay. Wttl Keep star Wheat Word has been received that the Russian government is meditating the promulgation of a decree prohibiting the export of wheatowing to the small crops id southern Russia, and this report is causing some uneasiness to those Intor^stod. tic or more affected by the sight than President McKiniey. With his hand on his hat, continually uncovering to the national colors or the salutes of the veterans, the President watched the array of old heroes march by. After the parade a luncheon was given to the President and his party, after which he was driven back to his hotel. The closing events of the day were a public reception to the President at Music hall and a reception by the Loyal Legion at the Buffalo club. The business sessions of the encampu e n t were full ot "go>" and after speeches of welcome by Gov. Black and Mayor Jewett Commander-in-Chief Clarkson gave the annual address. The report of Adjt-Gen, Burmester showed that the total membership of the order in good standing June 30, 1806, was 7,302 posts with 340,610 members; on Dec 31, 1896, 7,276 posts with 327,412 saantbers; on June 30, 1897. 7,106 posts, with 319,456 members.

It was half an hour pas', the appointed time when the neared the trystim place, and she was beginning to wonder whether or not Monsieur Causaldlere had grown weary and had gone away, when, to her relief, he emerged from some nook where he had been hiding and stood before her. Yei, it wai he, looking anxious and restless, but brightening up considerably at sight of her face. "Marjorie, my Marjorie!" he murmured. "Monsieur—Monsieur Caussidiere!" V* * She cried. The Frenchman looked at her strangely; he took her hand, and held it lovingly in both of bis. "Marjorie," he said, "my little friend! U seems now that I have you by me, that I am born again. I have traveled all the way from Dumfries to see you; and you do not know why?—because, my child, you have taught me to love you." Marjorie paused in her walk; she felt her heart trembling painfully and her cheeks burning like fire. She loosed up at him in helpless amazement, but she did not speak. *'Whernroudeparted,-Marjorie/' ^on= tinued Caussidiere, affectionately clasping the little hand which still lay passively in his, "I felt as if all the light and sunshine had been withdrawn from ' the world, and I knew then that the f face of my little friend had left such an image on my heart that I could not shake it away. I tried to fight against the feeling, but I could not. Tou have made me love you, my darling, and now I have come to ask if you will be my wife?" "Your wife, monsieur!" She looked so helplessly perplexed that the Frenchman smiled. "Well, Marjorie," he said, "of what are you thinking, ma petite?" "I was wondering, monsieur, why you had spoken to me as you have done." For a moment the man's face clouded; then the shadow passed and he smiled again. "Because I adore you, Marjorie," he said. Again the girl was silent, and the Frenchman palled his mustache with trembling fingers. Presently he stole a glance at her, and he saw that her face was irradiated with a look of dreamy pleasure. He paused before her and regained possession of her trembling hands. "Marjorie," he said, and as he spoke his voice grew very tender and vibrated through every nerve in the girl's i frame, "my little Marjorie, if you had been left to me, I don't think I should ever have spoken, but when you went away I felt as if the last chance of happiness had been taken from me* So 1 said, 'I will go to my little girl, I will tell her of my loneliness, I will say to her 1 have given her my love, and I will ask for hers in return-* Marjorie, • will yon give it to me, my dear?" She raised her eyes to his and answered softly: "I like yon very moon, monsieur." ""IA—ndI djounu' t wkinlto wm strhfya t"m e, Marjorie»" "Marjorier "I mean, monsieur, I will tell Mr. Lorraine." "You will not!—you must not!" "Monsieur!" "Marjorie, do you not see what I mean? They are all against me, every one of them, and if they knew they would take my little girl away. Marjorie, listen to me. You say yon lore ae—and you do love me—I am sure of that; therefore I wish yon to promise to marry me and say nothing to any soul" "To marry you in secret? Oh, I could not do that, monsieur." "Then you do not love me, Marjorier' "Indeed, it is not true. And Mr. Lorraine is like my father, and he loves me so much.* I would not do anything- to vex or hurt him, monsieur." For a moment the Frenchman's face was clouded, and he cast a moat ominous look upon the girl; then all in a moment again the sunshine burst forth. "Yon have a kind heart, Marjorie," he amid. "It is like my nttle girl to talk so; but she is sensible, and will' listen to me. Marjorie, don't think I want to harm yon, ar lead yon to do wrong. I love yon, far «00 well, little one, and my only thought is how I can keep and cherish you all my life." He walked with her to within a Quarter of a mile of the clergyman's gate, then he left her. During the rest of that day Marjorie went about in a sort of dream, and it was not until she had gone to bed at night that she was able to think dispassionately of the interview. The next day she went to meet the Frenchman again. The moment he saw her face he knew that in leaving her to reason out the problem he had done well, She came forward with all the confidence of a child, and said: "Monsieur Caussidiere, since I love you, I will trust you with all my heart" Oh! the days which followed; the hours of blissful, dreamy joy! Marjorie went every day to meet her lover —each day found her happier than she had been before. He was good and kind, and her love for him increased, his reasoning seemed logical as well as pleasant, and it was beginning to take a firm hold of her accordingly. What he might have persuaded her to do it is difficult to imagine, but an event happened which for the time being saved her from precipitation. She had left her lover one day, promising to think over his proposition for an immediate secret marriage, and give him her decision on the following morning. She walked along the road with her head filled with the old and still per- | plexing problem, but the moment she reached home all such thoughts were rudely driven from her head. She found Mrs. Menteith in the parlor crying bitterly. Mr. Mentith, pale and .speechless, stood by her side, with an open telegram in his hand. "What is the matter?" asked Marjorie. Taking the telegram from the mittinter's unresisting grasp, she read as follows: "Send Marjorie home at once. Mr. Lorraine is dangerously ill." The girl sank with a low cry upon the ground, then with an effort she rose and cried: "Let me go to him; let me go home!" Not once that night did Marjorie remember Caussidiere or her appointment with him on the following day. , CHAPTER XVIL T was a raw, wet, windy night when Marjorie arrived at the railway station of D u m f r i e s . Scarcely had the train reached the platform when the figure of a young man leaped upon the footboard and looked in at the carriage window, while a familiar voice addressed her by name. She looked round, as she stood reachlag: down some parcels and a small handbag from the net above her seat, and recognised John Sutherland. "They have sent me to meet you," he said, stretching out his hand. "I have a dog cart waiting outside the station to drive yon down." She took the outstretched hand eagerly, Quite forgetful of the angry words with which they had last parted, and cried in a broken voice: "Oh, Johnnie, is he better?" • The young man's face looked grave, indeed, as he replied: "He is about the same. He is very weak* and has been asking' for you. But come, let me look after your luggage, and then we'll hurry down." There were few passengers and little luggage by the train, and they found Marjorie's small leather trunk standing almost by itself on the platform. A porter shouldered it and following him they passed out of the station and tonne n solitary dog cart waiting with a ragged urchin at the horse's head. • few minutes later Marjorie and Sutherland was driving rapidly side by side through the dark and rain washed streets of the town. At last they drew up before the gate of the manse. With an eager cry, half a sob, Marjorie leaped down. "Ill put up the horse and come back," cried Sutherland. Marjorie scarcely heard, but, opening the gate, ran in across the garden, and knocked, softly at the manse door,which was opened almost instantly by Mysie, the old serving woman. The moment she saw Marjorie she put her finger to her lips. Marjorie stepped in, and the door was softly closed. Mysie led the way into the study, where a lamp was dimly burning. "Oh, Mysie, how is he now?" The old woman's hard, world-worn face was sad beyond expression, and her eyes were red with weeping. "Wheesht, Miss Marjorie," she answered, "speak low. A wee while syne he sank into a bit sleep. He's awfu' changed! I'm thinkln' he'll no last men? hours langer." "Oh, Mysie!" sobbed the girl, convulsively. "Wheeent, or he may hear ye! Bide here a minute, and I'll creep ban and see If he has weakened." She stole from the room. In a few moments she returned to the door and beckoned. Choking down her emotion Marjorie followed her without a word. They crossed the lobby and entered the rudely furnished bedroom where Mr. Lorraine had slept so many years, and there, in the very bed where the little foundling bad been placed that wintry night long ago, lay the minister—haggard, worn and ghastly, with all the look of a man who was sinking fast His white hair was strewn upon >he pillow, his cheeks were sunken and ashen pale, and his dim blue eyes looked at vacancy, while his thin hand fingered at the counterpane, Marjorie crept closer, with bursting heart, and looked upon him. As she did so she became conscious of a movement at the foot of the bed. There, kneeling in silence, was old Solomon. He looked up with a face almost as gray and stony as that of his master, but gave no other sign of recognition. The minister rocked his head from side to side and continued to pick the coverlet, muttering to himself. "Marjorie, Marjorie, my doo! Ay, put the bairn in my arms—she has your own eyes, Marjorie, your own eyes o' heaven's blue. Solomon, my surplice! To-day's the christening. We'll call her Marjorie, after her mother. A bonny name! A bonny bairn! Bring the light, Solomon! She's wet and weary. We'll lay her down in the bed!" At the mention of his name Solomon rose like a gaunt specter, and stood gazing desolately at bis master. His eyes were wild and tearless, and he shook like a reed. Suddenly there was a low cry from Solomon. Marjorie started up, and at the same moment Mr. Lorraine half raised himself on his elbow and looked wildly arround him. "Who's there?" he moaned—"Marjorie!" And for the first time Us eyes seemed fixed on hers in actual recognition. "Yes, Mr. Lorraine. Oh, speak to me!" He did not answer, but still gazed upon her with a beautiful smile. His hand was still in hers, and she felt it fluttering like a leaf. Suddenly the smile faded Into a look of startled wonder and divine awe. He looked at Marjorie, but through her, as it were, at something beyond. "Marjorie!" he moaned, "I'm coming." Alas! it was to another Marjorie, some shining presence unbeheld of other eyes, that he addressed that last joyful cry. Scarcely had it left his lips than his jaws dropped convulsively,and he fell back upon his pillow, dead. * • * Let me draw a veil over the sorrow of that night, which was spent by poor Marjorie in uncontrollable grief. Sutherland, returning a little while after the minister's breath had gone, tried in vain to comfort her, but remained in or about the house to the break of day. Early next morning Miss Hetherington. driving up to the manse door in her faded carriage, heard the sad news. She entered in, looking grim and worn beyond measure, and looked at the dead man,.Then she asked for Marjorie,andj. learned that she had retired to her room. As the lady returned to nor carriage she saw young Sutherland standing at the gate. "It's all over at last, then," she said.

A late German invention enables a person to present a new and spotless shirt front every day by merely tearing off a leaf. The front is a paper imitation of linen with a fine polish, and is made in a series of layers. As each layer is torn off it reveals another white glistening front. The bosoms fits any,shirt, and is buttoned on at the collar button and fastened at each upper or shoulder corner by a couple of clips. Retails at ten cents and will probably have a large sale when it reaches this country.—New Ideas. Ttsit Wonderland. Wonderland, Detroit, was reopened Monday, August 20, after being closed for two weeks repairs, re-decoration and general improvements. J. H. Moore, the genial proprietor, has spared neither pains nor money to make this place of amusement one of the finest in the state or United States. The new Edea Musee is now the finest west •£ Sew ^Tork city. Manager Moore has inaugurated the novelty of illustrating babyhood stories and "Little Bed Riding Hood" and "Cinderella" are the most prominent of the artistic representations. There is one comical wax picture. It is that of a darkey who loaded down with a watermelon under each arm sees a rooster strut proudly out of a hen house near by. It is a question of watermelon or rooster with him and his eyes roll with gluttonous uncertainty as to which he will have. It would be hard to tell of the thousands of diffateut aoenes that are here found besides a theatre where good artists are engaged to pass away a pleasant hour for tbe patrons. Nowhere can at m^ph be seen for ten cents as at Wonderland and ten cento adnuts to all. JBrighton is talking electric lights and may vote on the question. Many a newspaper reader who is quickest to take offence is slowest in paying his subscription. A fifteen cent ticket to a church supper or sociable is poor |>ay for a dollars worth of advertising space.—The Copy Hook. That is all we ask, but, alas, how seldom we ever get even that. A Massachusetts deacon is advertising a pill of his own invention, which is highly recommended by his fellow worshipers. From this it appears that the good man has been literally a "piller" of the church. Experiments are being made in Berlin and Hamburg with Indiarubber for paving streets. It is meeting with great favor, being perfectly noiseless, impervious to either heat or cold, more durable than asphalt, and not as slippery. The physicians have at last found a way to get back at the patent medicine houses who by good advertising have made inroads on the doctors' practice. The coroner's physician here lately viewed a corpse, and his conclusions were that the man had died from heart failure and the taking of too much patent .medicine.—Press and Printer. Last Tuesday evening, Fred H. Crippen, son of H. L. Crippeu of Brighton unceremoniously left home. His parents attended the camp meeting at Hicks Grove and expected him to follow on his wheel but on reaching home they found that he had skipped with'124 of his brother's money. Herbert ,Wright, who has been working for H. A. Nichols, left the same night and it is thought they went together. A deep and long canal is to be built by Russia to connect the Baltic with the Black sea. This stupendous project indicates the giant aims of the Great Empire. The canal, as projected, is to connect Riga, on the Baltic, with Cherson, on the Dneiper near the Black Sea, is to be 1,000 miles long, 213.23 feet wide at the surface and 115 at the base, with a depth of 27.9 fwL—It is lu canv easily the biggest battle ships in the world. The modesty of a couple of elderly spinisters at Ann Arbor was shocked the other ^iay at the sight of some boys who were disporting themselves in the Huron. The officer to whom they complained asked if they wore no trunks. "No" said one of the ladies' "they were as naked as when they were born." "How far were you from them?" "Perhaps a quarter of a mile." "How could yon know, so far away, that the boys were naked?' "I looked through my field glass!" No arrests.— Ypsilanti Sentinel. According to the testimony of competent military men the improved Hotchkiibs machine gun is far superior to the Maxim. The barrel has beneath it a second closed barrel, the two being connected by a small hole near the morale, through which, when the ballet passes, a part of the charge passes, driving back a piston in the lower barrel, which throws oat the empty cartridges, inserts new ones and fires the gun at the rate of five hundred shots per minute. It is made of three patterns— for field, naval or moan* tain use, and weighs about thirtyj three pounds.—Maw Idea*. The steward of the M. E. church at Mt Morris is said to have had the Klondike fever so bad that he skipped out with the church money. Of coarse when he reaches the land of gold he will shake a pan of dirt and send the money back.—Republican. May be be is going to try and get chilled in that climate and prepare for—well, you know what The Vital Statistics Report of Michigan for the year 1895 has been issued by the Secretary of State. Since the beginning of State registration in 1867, nearly 2,000,000 vital records have been made, inoluding about 420,000 marriages, 1,100,000 births and 460,000 deaths. All these are preserved at the State Department, at Lansing, ready for instant reference, and are frequently consulted to settle various legal and personal questions. There has been a considerable deficiency in the number of deaths annually reported, which will be remedied by a law passed by the last legislature, requiring certificates of death in all cases. This law took effect on August 29, township, village and city clerks or city health officers acting as registrars. A copy of the report will be sent by the Secretary of State on request It SaveR the Croupy Children. Seaview, Va.—We have a splendid sale on Chamberlains Cough Remedy and our cusiomers coming from far and near, speak of it in higest terms.

According to the Homer Vidette the following is said to be a bona fide copy of a letter received by a Tecohsha grocer not long ago: "Dere sir please send me 4 pounds of cofe and some te. My wife had a boy last night also 10 pounds of cheese and a rat trap, he weighed 7J pounds and a hatchet and nails." The baptismal water used in Presbyterian church Sunday morning came from the river Jordan. It was the happy thought of a missionary friend of Mrs. F. W. Kelsey, who sent it to her to use in this baptism of their coildren,— Ann Arbor Times. Churches will fall into the line of "fads" if they do not look out. Individual communion cups, water from the Jordan and what next? According to the present rule of the redemption division of the United States Treasury nothing less than fragments representing two-fifths of a bank note or greenback will be redeemed by Uncle Sam. "If that much of a note is presented the United States" writes Clifford Howard on "Destroying a Millian Dollars a Day" in the September Ladies Home Journal "will allow the holder one-half the face value of it, while three-fifths of a note will be redeemed for full value. Of course, there are occasional exceptions to this rule. Some time since a man from New England forwarded a bunch of discolored paper money that he had found buried in the field.

Unfortunately for the man who found the money he could not prove his ownership nor could he make affidavit as to what had become of the missing portions of the notes. Consequently the United Ssates was the gainer in this case. Accidents of this nature are by no means rare, as is attested by the number of boxes of charred remnants of money which are kept among the curious records of the redemption division."

And when you read the letter you know Mr. Miller saw it through a dictionary. A remarkable discovery has been made in Connecticut By an error In the statutes It is almost Impossible to punish a man for bigamy. It is not a crime for a man to be married to more than one woman so long as he does not live with his wives. Who knows but the members of the legislature intended to have the law read Just as it does? Of course, the women will see that it is repealed. At the unveiling of the monument to his grandfather at Cologne, the Bmperor William referred to the symbolical figure thereon as "Neptune and his trident" As a matter of fact, the sculptor had struggled to represent ".Father Rhine" and garlanded vines— and this was his reward. Our republican eyes make odd mistakes with some of our statues, and the Imperial eye may fairly be pardoned their artistic astigmatism. There are many ways of keeping the great dead in perpetual remembrance. A magnificent tomb, a monument, a statue was the ancient way. 'To erect memorials that will bless mankind, while, recalling a name that deserves tli* hoadr of posterity, 1a a modern Idea. One of the pleasantest and most merited tributes of this sort is the setting apart of Elmwood, the homestead of James Russell Lowell, In Cambridge, as a public park. The project bids fair to succeed; and until a degenerate age ahall dispose of the land for money,,the public pleasure ground will be a perpetual reminder of America's poet, statesman and scholar.

In view of the probable borrowing upon a large scale by the Chinese government in the near future investor* would do well to bear in mind how unsettled the position of the empire Is, and How serious Is its financial outlook. , ¾ a letter dated April 30, the Pekin correspondent of the London Times potets out the financial necessities of the country are every day becoming keener, and now when China has need of all her resources, when revenues formerly distributed for internal needs are being collected to pay foreign indebtedness, when terminal charges and others wrongfully Imposed to nullify the value of transit passes are being abolished in obedience to the will of treaty powers* with consequent shrinkage of revenue, a famine has broken out in two of the richest provinces, Ssochuan and Hu-pel,'and a great decrease In the land tax and opium likin must further weaken the treasury. Cannibalism is reported in the famine districts. TW ttcret societies are at. work and the officials are in dread. Surely China has dark days before her. All is tending to unrest. The uprising in Tun-nan, ahe raids in Kwang-si, the murder of £*ere Maaei and the foreboding of a rebellion in Yun-nan in sympathy with a Mohamedan insurrection in Kan-su are all of evil portent.

OB had it hard. What with bolls, and bereavements, and bankruptcy, and a fool of a wife, he wished he was dead; and I do not blame him., His flesh was gone and his bones were dry. His teeth wasted away until nothing but the enamel seemed left He cried out, "I am escaped with, the •kin of my teeth." There has been some difference of opinion about this passage. St Jerome and Bchultene, and Doctors Good and Poole and Barnes have all tried their forceps on Job's teeth. You deny my interpretation, and say, "What did Job know about the enamel of the teeth?" He knew everything about it. Dental surgery Is almost as old as the earth. The mummies of Egypt, thousands of years old, are found to-day with gold filling in their teeth. Ovid, and Horace, and Solomon, and Moses wrote about these important factors of the body. To other provoking complaints, Job, I think, has added an exasperating toothache, and putting his hand against the inflamed face, he says, "I am escaped with the skin of my teeth." A very narrow escape, you say, for Job's body and soul; but there are thousands of men who make just as narrow escape for their soul. There was a time when the partition between them and ruin was no thicker than a tooth's enamel; but, as Job finally escaped, so have they. Thank God! thank God! Paul expresses the same Idea by a different figure when he says that some people are "saved as by fire." A vessel at sea is in flames. You go to the stern of the vessel. The boats have shoved off. The flames advance; you can endure the heat no longer on your face. You slide down on the aide of the vessel, and hold on with your fingers, until the forked tongue of the fire begins to lick the back of your hand, and you feel that you must fall, when one of the life-boats comes back, and the passengers say they think they have room for one more. The boat swings under you—you drop into it—you are saved. So some men are pursued by temptation until they are partially consumed, but after all get off—"saved as by fire." But L4ike the figure of Job a ltttle better than that of Pvai, because the pulpit hax a^i worn it out; and I want to j»how you if God will help, that some men make narrow escape for their souls, and are saved as "with the skin of their teeth*"— It is as easy for some people to look to the Cress as for you to look to this pulpit. Mild, gentle, tractable, loving, you .expect them to become Christians. You go over to the store and say, "Grandon joined the church yesterde- 7" Your business comrades sar. "That is just what might have been expected; he always was of that turn of mind." In youth, this person whom I describe was always good. He never broke things. He never laughed when it was improper to laugh. At seven, he could ait an hour in church, perfectly quiet, looking neither to the right hand nor the left but straight into the eyes of the minister, as though he understood the whole discussion about the eternal decrees. He never upset things nor lost them. He floated into the kingdom of God so gradually that it is uncertain just when the matter was decided. Here is another one, who started in life with an uncontrollable spirit He kept the nursery In an uproar. His mother found him walking on the edge of the house-roof to see if he could balance himself. There was no horse that he dared not ride—no tree he could not climb. His boyhood was a long series of predicaments; his manhood was reckless; his mid-life very wayward. But now he is converted, and you go over to the store and say, "Arkwright joined the church yesterday." Your friends say, "It la not possible! You must be joki*«." You say, "No, I tell you the truth. He joined the church." Then they reply, •There is hope for any of us R old Arkwright has become a Christian r In other words, we will admit that it is more difficult for some men to accept the Gospel than for others. I may be preaching to some who have cut loose from churches, uoA Bibles, and Sundays, (and who have no Intention of becomlng__Christians themselves, and yet you in*y_ tod yourself escaping, before you ieave this house, as "with the skin of your teeth." I do not expect to waste this hour. I have seen boats go aC frosn Cape May or Long Branch, and drop their T \, and after awhile come ashore, pulling in the nets without having caught a single fish. It was not a good day, or they had not the right kind of a net. But we expect no •uch excursion to-day. The water Is full of fish, the wind is In the right direction, the Gospel net Is strong. O thou who didst help Simon and Andrew to fish, show us how to oast the net on the right side of the ship. Some of you, In coming to God, will have to run against skeptical notions. It is useless for people to say sharp and cutting things to those who reject the Christian religion. I cannot say such things. By what process of temptation, or trial, or betrayal, you have come to your present state, I know not There are two gates to your nature; the gate of the head, and the gate of the heart, The gate of your head Is locked with bolts and bars that an archangel could not break, but the gate of your heart swings easily on Its hinges; If I assaulted your body with weapons you would meet me with weapons, and it would be sword-stroke for sword-stroke, and wound for wound, and blood for blood; but If I come and knock at the door of. your house, you open It, and give me the best seat in your parlor. If I should come at you now with an argument, you would answer me with an argument; If with sarcasm, you would answer me with sarcasm; blow for blow, stroke for stroke; but when I come and knock at the door of your heart, you open It and say, "Come In, my brother, and tell me all you know about Christ and heaven." Let me also ask whether your trouble has not been that you confounded Christianity with the inconsistent character of some who profess it? You are a lawyer. In your profession there are mean and dishonest men. Is that anything against the law? You are a doctor. There are unskilled and contemptible men in your profession. Is that anything against medicine? You are a merchant. There are thieves and defrauders In your business. Is that anything against merchandise? Behold, then, the unfairness of 'charging upon Christianity the wickedness of its disciples. We admit some of the charges against those who profess religion. Some of the most gigantic swindles of the present day have been carried on by members of the church. There are men standing in the front rank In the churches who would not be trusted for five dollars without good collateral security. They leave their business dishonesties in the vestibule of the church as they go in and" sit at the communion. Having concluded the sacrament, they get up, wipe the wine from their lips, go out, and take up their sins where they left off. To serve the devil is their regular work; to serve God a sort of playspell. With a Sunday sponge they expect to wipe off from their business slate all the past week's inconsistencies. You have no more right to take such a man's life as a specimen of religion than you have to take the twisted Irons and split timbers that He on the beach at Coney Island as a specimen of an, American ship. It is time that we draw a line between religion and the >frailties of those who profess it. Do you not feel t h a t the Bible, take It all in all, is about the best book that the world has ever seen? Do you know any hook that has as much in it? Do you not think, upon the whole, that its influence has been beneficent? I come to you with both hands extended towards you. In one hand I have the 'Bible, and in the other hand I have nothing. This Bible in one hand I will surrender forever just as soon as in my other hand you can put a book that is better. I invite you back into the good oldfashioned religion of your fathers—to the God whom they worshipped, to the Bible they read, to the promises on which they leaned, to the cross on which they hung; their eternal expectations. You have not been happy a day since you swung off; you will not be happy a minute until you swing/ back. e e e e e e o e If, with all the influences favorable for a right life, men make so many mistakes, how much harder is it when, for .instance, some appetite thrusts its iron grapple into the roots of the tongue, and pulls a man down with hands of destruction? If, under such circumstances, he break away, there will be no sport in the undertaking, no holiday enjoyment, but a struggle in which the wrestlers move from side to side, and bend, and twist, and watch for an opportunity to get in a heavier stroke until with one final effort, in which the muscles are distended, and the veins stand out, and the blood starts, the swarthy habit falls under the knee of the victor—escaped at last a« "with the skin of his teeth." The ship Emma, bouad from Gottenburg to Harwich, was sailing on, when the man on the look-out saw something that he pronounced a vessel bottom up. There was something on it that looked like a sea-gull, bat was afterward found to ha a waving: handkerchief, In the small boat the crow puahed out to the J wreck, and fouud that it was A cap* elsed vessel, and that three man had been digging their way out through the bottom of the ship. When the vessel capslsed they had no means of escape. The captain took his penknife and dug away through the planks until hit knife broke. Then an old nail was found, with which they attempted to scrape their way up out of the darkness, each one working until his hand was well-nigh paralysed, and he sank back faint and sick. .After long and tedious work, the light broke through, the bottom of the ship. A handkerchief was hoisted. Help came. They were taken pn board the vessel and saved. Did ever men come so near a watery grave without dropping Into It? How narrowly they -escaped—escaped only "with the skin of their teeth." There are men who have been capslsed of evil passions, and capslsed midocean, and they are a thousand miles i away from any shore of help. They | have for years been trying to dig their I way out. They have been digging away, and digging away, but they can never be delivered unless now they will hoist some signal of distress. However weak and feeble it may be, Christ will see it, and bear down upon the helpless craft, and take them on board; and It will be known on earth and in heaven how narrowly they escaped, "escaped as with the skin of their teeth/' There are others who in attempting to come to God, must run between a great many business perplexities. If a man go over to business at ten o'clock in the morning, and come away at three o'clock In the afternoon, he has some time for religion; but how shall you find time for religious contemplation when you are driven from sunrise to sunset, and have been for five years going behind in business, and are frequently dunned by creditors whom you cannot pay, and when from Monday morning until Saturday night, you are dodging bills that you cannot meet? You walk day by day in uncertainties that have kept your brain on fire for the past three years. Some with leas business troubles than you have gone crazy. The clerk has heard a noise in the back counting-room, and gone in, and found the chief man of the firm a raving manaic; or the wife has heard the bang of a pistol In the back parlor, and gone In, stumbling over the dead body of her husband—a suicide. There are men pursued, harrassed, trodden down, and scalped of business perplexities, and which way to turn next they do not know. Now God will not be hard on you. He knows what obstacles are in the way of your being a Christian, and your first effort In the right direction he will crown with success. Do not let Satan, with cotton bales, and kegs, and hogsheads, and counters, and stocks of unsalable goods, block up your way to heaven. Gather up all your energies. Tighten- the girdle about your loins. Take an agonising look into the^faee of God, and then say, "Hera goes one grand effort for life eternal," and then bound away for heaven, escaping "as with the skin of your teeth." This world is a poor portion for your soul, oh, business man! An Eastern king had graven on his tomb two fingers, represented as sounding on each other with a snap, and under them the motto, "All is not worth that" AplciU8 CoelluB hanged himself because his steward informed him that he had only eighty thousand pounds sterling left. All of this world's riches make but a small inheritance for a soul. Robespierre attempted to win the applause of the world; but when he was dying, a woman came rusningr through" the crowd, crying to him, "Murderer of my kindred, descend to hell, covered with the curses of every mother in France!" Many who have expected the plaudits of the world have died under Its Anathema Maranatha. Oh, find your peace in God. Make one strong pull for heaven. No halfway work will do it There sometimes comes a time on shipboard when everything must be sacrificed to save the passengers. The cargo Is nothing, the rigging nothing. The captain puts the trumpet to his lip and shouts, "Cut away the mast." Some of you have been tossed and driven, and you have, in your efforts to keep the world well night lost your soul. Until you have decided this matter, let everything else go. Overboard with all those other anxieties and burdens. You will have to drop the sails of your pride, and cut away the mast, with one earnest cry for help, put your cause into the hand of him who helped Paul out of the breakers'of Melita, and who, above the shrill blast of the wrathieat tempest that ever blackened the sky or shook the ocean, can hear the faintest imploration for mercy. I shall close this sermon feeling that some of you, who have considered your case as hopeless, will take heart again, and that with a blood-red earnestness, such as you have never experienced before, you will start for the good land of the Gospel—at last to look back, saying, "What a great risk I ran! Almost lost, but saved! Just got through, and no more! Escaped by the skin of my teeth." .Mud Who Khot Uourh. It win ue rytatJiuutrcu au**, tiosion. Oorbett. the man who Killed- Jr WUke* Booth, lived for many years In Cloud county, Kansas. About ten years ago be was elected- doork4ep*n of the Kantat ncaae of representatives and while holding1 that position' went crasy and was sent to the asylum. Later ke was released from custody and wept off to> Texas, where It is presumed he died.. The discussion now going on in the periodicals over the death and burial of Booth recalls to the editor of the Concordia Empire that, something like a dozen years ago, the ladles of the Presbyterian church in that town seized upon the idea of having Corbett give a lecture upon the killing of Booth, and a committee was appointed to wait upon him. . One of the committeemen was the editor of the Empire, and he thus describes what followed: "We found him at home m his dugout, a kind of hole In the side of a steep hill with a brownstone front and a roof of brush, clay and clapboards. There was but one room and the furniture was an old stove, a table, a chair, a home-made bed, a, trunk, a box or two, a well-worn Bible, and a variety of firearms. Mr. Corbett had received a pension of several hundred dollarB a short time before and Invested what he had not given away to others that,he thought might be needing money in a flock of sheep. A herd of antelopes would have served him just as well—he had no practical knowledge of the use of sheep. He was very hospitable, told us much of his history and readily consented to deliver a lecture on the capture of Booth and his experiences in Anderson vi lie. "A packed house greeted him on the night set. By way of introduction the choir sang a song. Some sentiment of the song set him off on a regular sermon (he was in the habit of preaching occasionally) and for nearly an hour he talked, but failed to either capture Booth or get to Andersonvllle. At last the pastor reminded him that he was to talk of Andersonvllle and Booth. He apologized for his forgetfulness, and in about a dozen words told that he was captured and landed safe InBlde the walls of Andersonvllle prison. The first man he met was an old acquaintance, who told him that over in a certain portion of the prison they were holding a prayer meeting. He went directly to it Then he talked for half an hour about the prayer meeting, Which, as far as his description went, might have been held in Cloud county or the backwoods of Arkansas. "Being reminded again that he was forgetting all about the capture of Booth, he apologized, and said in substance: 'We surrounded the barn in which we found he had taken refuge. We demanded that he surrender, but he refused. „We then set fire to the barn. By the light he saw one of our men and raised bis revolver to shoot him. I was peeping through a crack, saw him raise his' arm, and to keep him from killing one of our men I fired and killed him. The bullet went into his head in pearly the same course as his bullet had entered Lincoln's head.' This Is as full a history as he saw fit to give of an incident that''had called forth many long articles' during the last thirty years, and about which none knew more than .did our neighbor, Boston Cortfett"—Kansaa City Journal. The constant duty of every man to his fellows Js to ascertain his own powers and special gifts, and to strengthen them for the help of others. Growth of the G M M A Navy. The growth of the German navy since 1*72 has been extraordinary. Ac cording to figures quoted in the relehstag, the rncnsaae la nival expenditures since that date has been 527 per cent says the Fortnightly Review. The outlay of the North German confederation in 1870 was only £1,201,000; in *$8S5 that of the German empire stood at £2,m,000; while at the date of the Bmperor William II.'s accession M was £2,700,000, which by last year had risen to £4,315,000. The proposals of the German admiralty for the present year involved an expenditure of £6,460,000; of which more than £6,- 000,000 has been voted by the reichstag. During the present reign—in a period, that is to aay, of nine yearsno less than eighty-six new units have been added to the fleet. But yet neither Kaiser William nor Admiral Hollmann is satisfied. Like Oliver Twist, they are asking for more, and are making it very obvious that they intend to get more. The program of ships to be commenced during the next four years was not, indeed, a particularly large one. It involved the construction of four battleships, six large cruisers, six smaller cruisers and thirty-six torpedo craft. What probably alarmed the relchstag was tne hint that war was coming at no very distant date, and the scarcely veiled pretensions to dispute with K»<rU"' the command of the sea. The demands, too, were suddenly put forwar.1 and public opinion had not been tutty prepared for them.

He belonged to a club—the poor .man—to the 'Bachelors' club/ and had seriously sworn to remain faithful to his principles. But you, too, you will come to it." "But, then, in my father's day, young girls were brought up more simply; they aspired no higher than to play the piano prettily, write correctly, and ttake a graceful courtesy. Then, on leaving school young girls came into their families with enough instruction to understand the verses of a romance •and follow a conversation, not enough to humiliate their parents and often their husbands. They were then reall y 'home angels.'" "You exhaust my patience and I can't •bear such prejudices. 'Home angels/ -indeed, As if one must be a fool or a nonentity to be domestic.

I knew she and her old friend, Mme. Desjardlns, had together plotted against my hachelor- "hood and a girl with the degree of bachelor was enough to frighten me into it more securely than ever. When w e arrived at Mme. Desjardlns she greeted me as "little James." This exclamation rather upset me. I expected her to ask me if I had brought my marbles along, but instead •of that presented me to her daughters. The twin sisters resembled each other only in their dress. Ifdle. Martha was a very beautiful brunette—a Greek goddess witlj pure, straight features. Mdlle. Rose was less imposing, a sweet, pretty blonde. I was sure that In spite of her 19 years she still played with, dolls. She certainly was not t "'learned young woman" my mother -proposed I should court It must be> the other one. There was dancing, and 1 offered my arm to Mdlle. Rose. After | make a •tfean breast of it, mother dear! < I love Rose, and you. must help me to gain her." "Oh, James, is not this somewhat sudden? .And those convictions you have cherished—-" "Nonsense, mother; listen, this is serious. You will admit that so sweet and unpretending a girl Is seldom found now. No more words, please, but do like the good mother you are, go and ask Mme. Desjardlns for the hand of her daughter." "My dear child, I will teaoh you how to be consistent; I can not go back on my word. I will have nothing to do with the arrangements of a marriage for you." She said all this with such an amused smile that I could not think her serious. I determined, hewever, to put an end to this suspense and soon found an opportunity. There was a concert and ball at the Desjardlns' beautiful country homo. Whim bending over her mother's band I sew but one thing and heaven entered my soul as I caught the light of her eyes. It seemed but an Instant before we were outside, wandering about the grounds. The words were on my lips to speak, when some one called to us, "Come, La Marian! is going to sing!" What care I for the Marian!? But Rose hastened her steps and I followed, hoping she would at least stay outside. As we neared the house she led the way to a corner of the veranda and there the words and voice of the wonderful singer reached oar ears and entered our hearts. "My soul Is full of dream, My soul is full of love." "Those words are mine, Rose, do you understand? Don't you see how I tove jvu? You are the woman I have dreamed of since I have known how to dream. You are the companion I have longed for! Rose, could you not love me?" In a low, 8ad voice she murmured: "My friend, I am not the companion you have dreamed of. Too often have you described her to me, your Ideal woman. You love me because you think me simple as young girls should be—and you think because you have some time seen me attending household duties that I would make a good domestic wife, but you will love me nc more when you are undeceived. When you know " Her voice had been firm until now and though her words puzzled and pained me I became aware of the sorrow in her voice, a sorrow which meant more than sympathy. "Rose, in the name of heaven, what is it?" She mastered herself in a moment.

Aa Enthusiastic Recaption of the French by the BuiUiu. President Faure, of France, reached Cronstadt, Russia, on the French warship Pothuau after a disagreeable journey from Havre. The weather was fine, however, when the czar steamed alongside the Pothuau in the imperial yacht Alexandria. The reception of the French president and the exchange of greetings were the signals for great enthusiasm on the part of the many thousands of Russians assembled on land and water. Upon landing from the Alexandria President Fanre was greeted by the grand dukes of Russia and other dignitaries of the empire of Russia and the republic of France. A presentation to the court of the czar at the Peterhof palace was followed by a visit to the czarina at Alexandria palace. The royal yacht carried the czar and president and a large party to S t Petersburg where the cathedral of 88. Peter and Paul was visited and a wreath placed on the tomb of the late Czar Alexander IIL President Faure drove across the Neva and laid the cornerstone of the new French hospital and also took part in of lajring the tesseex/peamft. «4 visit of the president am He was greeted with enthusiastic popular demonstration wherever he appeared in the public thoroughfares. Adraaee Oreeee Cask. The marquis of Salisbury remains firm in his determination to insist upon Turkey's evacuation of Thessaly, whether the indemnity is paid at once Or not, but in order to make the solution of the question easier, he has suggested that the powers co-operate in a scheme-to enable Greece, to guarantee the interest of a lueu to pay off the Turkish indemnity by international control, if necessary, of a portion of the Hellenic revenues. The powers are considering this proposal. Wheeler Adams, aged 18, of Dresden, O., who mysteriously disappeared from his home several weeks ago, was found wandering around the railroad yards.

Natural Ugbtala«>Bo<U. The tall Lombardy poplar has a reputation in some parts of Europe as a kind of natural lightning-rod. Investigations recently made by Doctor Hess in Switzerland appear to confirm this reputation of the tree. It* wood la an unusually good conductor of electricity as compared with others, while its great height and lack of spreading branches enable it to conduct a lightning stroke straight downward. In order, however, that a poplar-tree stay serve to protect a building, according to Doctor Hess, its foliage should he allowed to grow as near the ground as possible; it should be removed not less than six or seven feet from the nearest wall. No metallic objects on the building should be near the tree, and Its roots should penetrate a moist soil. inTdihcea tseudc ciens sn oo fs mmaa lle dduecgarteioen bayl itnhset itnuutmiobne ir»s wAh coo nitslvuelt i*ti itohne iorf pt»hter ornecao«red tbroomok sy eoafr t htoe y eNaer.e rEenvgelaalnsd aC sotnusderevnatt omrye mofb Mersuhsiicp.

The conference meeting was productive of several sensational speeches and many resolutions, yet no decisive action was taken. Mr,_ Pomeroy, of the International Typo-' graphical union, chairman of the conference, was instructed to request President McKinley in the name of the convention to call a special session of congress for the purpose of "defining the authority of judges in the matter of injunctions, ' but this was practically nullified by the adoption of the report of the resolutions committee which provided that a monster labor convention he called at Chicago, S e p t 27, unless the miners strike shall have been ended by Sept 30. It is regarded ascertain that some more important action will be taken at that time. The resolutions emphatically protested against government by injunction, which plays havoc with even such political liberty as worklngmen have saved from the steady encroachment of capitalism; and declared that no nation in which the people are totally disarmed can long remain a free nation, and, therefore, urged upon all liberty-loving citizens to remember and obey article 2 of the constitution of the United States, which reads as follows: "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

The Orakzais have risen and cut telegraphic cpmmuniciitioa with all of the garrisons and posts of Kurram valley. The wildest excitement prevails among the Hindoo traders at Banu, on Kurram river. It Is rumored that 7,000 Waziris intend to swoop down there, sack the town and massacre the inhabitants. The mullah and his emissaries, especially those from the Afghan government of Khost are actively stirring up the Waziris, who are also affected by the disloyal attitude of the Kurram tribes. Later—A strong force of Afridis, it is just announced, has closed the Kohat" pass and therefore the proposed advance of a column of British troops from Peshawur through that pass has been countermanded. With Khyber and Kohat passes in possession of the enemy the gravity of the situation is increased. The Shinwari and Kahri police posts on the Samana range, were attacked, evacuated by their garrisons and burned by the enemy. In addition the Orakzais looted the Nariab, Samana, bazaar* and burned the school. There is considerable excitement among the tribes along the Bolan route to Quetta, and the wires have again been cut.

In Paris it is said that a distinct under- . standing really exists between France and Russia and that this understanding is apparently in the nature of an ailiaoeefor preservation -of- the neace_ of Europe, though some of the French papers are inclined to believe that the "alliance" means Russia's support of France in the event of the latter attempting to reconquer Alsace and Lorraine from Germany.

The principal streets and buildings were elaborately decorated with flags and buntings, preparations were made for beautiful illuminations, with scores of balls, fetes, e t c The remarkable feature of it was that all was done spontaneously by the citizens, with no attempt at official organization.

T h e y w e r e s o completely absorbed In each other that they seldom % took the trouble to become acquainted with strangers, not feeling the need of companionship. But, as good luck would have it, they did allow me to come to see them, and when I had known them long enough to dare to speak on personal matters, I remarked upon the perfect harmony that existed between them. Then Margaret told me their story; and this is the romance as she gave it to me: "I will tell you my side of the etory and then Paul can ten you his. "As you may have discovered, I have dabbled somewhat in occult matters. I have always been a natural musician and I play without difficulty any piece of music which I may pick up, altbough I have never taken a lesson or •practiced' one hour during my lifetime. When I was a child I had only one playmate—be was a little older than myself—and I was satisfied if 1 could hide away somewhere and wait for him to come. The peculiar part of the matter was that no one else was able to see him, and as for myself, I never knew where he came from, nor did I ever see him until I looked up suddenly and found him beside me. Another peculiar fact was that he always carried an odd instrument, similar to a harp, and we would sit side by side for hours, he playing, I listening entranced, until suddenly the music would cease and I- would look up to find the player gone. Then I would go Into the house and play the music over again on the 'piano. This went on for years and people considered me 'queer/ if not quite craay. "I never could talk with my playmate because he used a language which I could not understand. As I grew older I drifted away from him. Other affairs filled my mind and it was but seldom I would have a vision in which the same form always appeared, but _seeming to^grow older even as-1 was. "I began to study occult sciences when I was about 18 years old. I attended spiritual lets' seances and finally took up the study of theosophy. Never, however, had I received a socalled 'test/ and any deductions I made were of necessity founded upon the experiences of other people. "One night, after I had attended a meeting, I sat down by the table at home and, idly picking up a pencil, started to draw a portrait—I who had never in my life been able to draw a straight line. The picture resulting represented a young man with dark eyes and hair combed straight back from a wide, high forhead. The features were delicately molded and the mouth was partially covered by a mustache." (Here she looked admirrhgly at her husband and then resumed tbe thread of her narrative). "He seemed 23 or 24 years old, and was decidedly handsome. Underneath the portrait I was impressed to write: 'This Is Paul . You will soon see his face/ I was told soon afterward that woman at whose house I Wis staying, knocked at my door and ssksd ma to come into the parlor. I hesitated, hut west and was introduced to *Faul Fischer*—the man of my drams • the man of the portrait I recotnisad the face, the voice, the way in which the hair was arranged, In fact, every detail corresponded with my preconceived ideas of how he would look. But my head was in a whirl. My Paul Fischer was supposed to be a spirit, but this Paul Fischer was decidedly materia!. "It was just one week before the problem was solved. I do not intend to solve it for you—Paul will do that. To make mattters short, however, I will say that I found that he was my Paul Fischer. It was just one month from the time I met him until we were married. On our wedding day Paul brought out a portfolio and asked me to look through it and tell him what I thought of his drawings. The first sheet I picked up showed a portrait of myself. I was represented sitting at a table sketching a man's head, and the date was the same on which I had done my first and only drawing six years before. But Paul must tell you the rest." "When I was a little boy, in the old country (I was born in Alsace-Lorraine), people> regarded me as being 'very peculiar/ I would wander off by myself for hours where no one could find me, carrying my harp along, snd when I returned I would have a picture in my mind of a little, browneyed, brown-haired girl, who listened to my music and reproduced everything which I played upon an instrument different from any I had ever seen. I know now it was a piano, but then I had no knowledge concerning it. Sometimes I would have long fainting spells, and while I was unconscious would babble away about the little maid who could not understand what I said, because she talked a different language from my own. Finally it began to be whispered about that I was possessed of a devil and my father was forced to send me away in order to protect me. "I came to America when I was 18 years old, and, going to the far west, I amassed quite a fortune. I did not see the friend of my childhood so frequently as I grew older, because increasing wealth brought increasing cares and I had no time to make the cuftomarxJrlsits. Still, once Jn awhile the old 'fainting spells' would come over me and when I returned to consciousness I would bring with me the memory of a Bmiling face and gentle, brown eyes—a face that seemed to grow older with my increasing years. "One night I sat in my room late. As I supposed I fell asleep, but when I awakened I found before me the portrait of a young woman who was sitting beside a table sketching, and the portrait she had finished was of myself. I put the picture carefully away, taking it out at long Intervals In order to familiarize myself with the features, for I felt that some time, somewhere. I should meet her. /*Qne night about six months ago I LTiy Qrain-CM iMItMlMtlMMMMMMwl WAS INTRODUCED. Paul Fischer was a spirit and was the same little boy with whom I had been acquainted in my childhood. I was Sold also uiat he was born in Alsace- Lorraine and had never been outside of his own country. I treasured the portrait I had obtained, it had a great fascination for me, but ao much occupied my thoughts that I had no time, as a rule, to think much of the original. Btx years passed by and I found it necessary to go to a strange city. I reached the town early la the morning and, hunting up a boardinghouse at once, I settled down for a flood rest before commencing the business which had brought me to the place. *As I was going to dinner that night AS» I came face to face, in the hall, with Paul X started and so did he. Then with. 'I beg your pardon madssi/ ha stood aside to allow me to pass. I was «B«Tss«ea disturbed to be able to eat jraefc. and I felt his eyes were watching s»e aU the time, so I soon left tbe table. _ "In the evening Mrs. Porter, the was late in leaving the office and upon reaching my home I hurried down to the dining room. In the hall I came face to face with Margaret, the friend of my childhood, the sweetheart of my dreams. I could not eat—I was too excited—and I begged Mrs. Porter to call the newcomer into the parlor to introduce us. The longer I talked With her the more convinced I hacame that she was the one woman in all the world whom I could love. I was curious to find out whether she had any conception of the peculiar circumstances which drew me to her and I questioned her adroitly in regard to the matter. "Then, she, who had puzzled her dear little head in vain over the matter, told me all her experience and when we compared notes we decided that, as heaven had meant us for each other from the beginning, there was no reason why we should wait for our happiness. 'So we were married and lived nappily ever after/ as they say in the fairy stories. "Now, I myself do not pretend to give an explanation of this, but Margaret, who has studied these matters closely, says that my astral body must have detached itself from the material form and sped across the sea to join her, drawn by some inexplicable, invisible attraction. That may be the case. If Margaret says so I am willing to accept It as truth. Bat this I do know^3he is a dear, sweet little woman, t « sweetheart of my waking and sleeping hours, my alter'ago, the center of my universe."

As the resnTtr~c>f~trre—develops ment of onr public school system and the cheapening of books, there has grown up a large class of men and women who seek broader education, or desire to extend their knowledge along special lines. Their duties in life or lack of means, exclude them from universities. The Cosmopolitan Magazine has undertaken the task of bringing liberal education, in its broadest sense, within the reach of those who have the aspiration, but are deprived of the opportunity. Dr. Andrews, late of Brown Univertity, has undertaken the presidency of the Cosmopolitan's educational movement The work, thus begun, is not intended to take the place of the regular university work, but to supply a gap in existing educational facilities. Those who are really in search of knowledge will find direction and aid. I t can do nothing for those who have not the desire to study. An intending student sends to the Cosmopolitan his name, occupation, previous courses of study, studies desired to pursue, objects and purpose for which course is designed, and the number of hours, daily or weekly, study which can be given.

A STORM AT 8BA J.AST SUND A Y ' 8 8UBJBQT. • i » i ' . 'And Tatte Were Abo wUh Bias Other Little Ship*, aad There ATOM a Great Storm of Wlad"—From Murk IT. Vtn« 80. Satisfying curiosity is ofttimes hazardous. Francis Warlop was a wellpaid cook in a club house at Grand Rapids, Mich. The other day the wife of a prominent member brought in a basket of what she thought were mushroom* and wanted them cooked for a dinner to a few of her friends. Warlop pronounoed them toadstools, and dangerous, and the lady left them with -him. Then the cook began wondering what toadstools tasted like. To satisfy his curiosity he cooked a few and ate them. An hour later the doctors were called, and very soon afterward poor Warlop was a cold corpse. But he didn't die wondering. Petty revenge never built an apter monument to its own folly than "spite house," the residence of a millionaire who died not long since In this country* This man owned a strip of land five feet wide in one of our largest cities, of such apparent uselessnesa to bim that *.ue adjoining land-owner offered a fair sum for it, and confident of its acceptance, proceeded to build a dwelling on his own property. The millionaire, however, demanded five times the amount named, and unable to obtain it, he himself erected a house four stories high on the five feet of land, shutting out all side light from his neighbor. Finding it impossible to rent the house to any one, the revengeful owner took up his own abode therein. , The extreme narrowness of the house necessitated not only ^he maklng^pf special furniture for it, but the inhabitants passing sideways through the doors. To live in it waa both physical discomfort and mental repression. One fancies that children born there would.have been dwarfed in body and soul; their features sharp, their minds pinched, their whole natures turned edgewise to society. The laws of heredity and environment endorse sucli conclusions, condemnation of such petty spite and Ignoble revenge cannot be too strong. A new and terrible explosive shell is in the hands of the government. A report from Washington says: The naval ordnance officers still have faith in the shell for high explosives invented by Louis Gathmann of Chicago, which blew up a $40,000 gun at Indian Head proving grounds a few weeks ago.. The tests of this terrible shell have been renewed, with encouraging results. Ten of the shells are now being made, and after being loaded with 800 pound* «f f n escss* will be flred. If no accident happena the tests will be •topped and, the shell wtU be officially declared a success by t i e government. An interesting special teat of a Gathmann shell haa just been made to determine the shock ceased fay the explosion of 900 pounds of gun rotton. A piece of armor seventeen inches thick was erected, with a backing; of posts sad plank two feet thick. Behind this a chicken was tied. Another chicken was placed in an air-tight cofferdam fifteen test away at the side of the target, another was tied in the open sir thirty-five feet away, and a fourth waspiaced la another cofferdam thirtynine feet away.- Then ate pounds of gun cotton wa* fired againet the target ' The chicken behind it was found alive, but erased so that It walked in circles and exhibited tfOber aabecoming eocetttridtles. The •©••> Is' the first cofferdam was dead* be* wave s o marks. The one In the open sir sharty-fi ve feet away was dead/Its head aad ail its feathers harts* bteafiMaaai away. The chicken in the cojtordasa thirty-nine feet away was erased, and after moping a, while died. Three emtefcens that were7 confined wens killed by shock. •ler^SSSSBBBBHr fJMHS S O T them, because the sir thfht IBERIAfi, Galilee. Gennesaret —three names for the aame lake. No other gem ever had so beautiful a setting. It lay in a scene of great luxuriance: the surrounding hills high, terraced, sloped, groved, so many hanging gardens of beauty; the waters rumbling down between rocks of gray and red limestone, flashing from the hills, and bounding into the sea. On the shore were castles, armed towers, Roman baths, everything attractive and beautiful; all styles of vegetation in shorter space than in almost any other space in all the world, from the palm tree of the forest to the trees of a rigorous climate. ! It seemed as if the Lord had launched one waver of beauty on all the scene, and it hung and swung from rock and hill and oleander. Roman gentlemen in pleasure boats sailing the lake, and countrymen in Ash-smacks coming down to drop their nets, pass each other with nod and shout and laughter, or swinging idly at their moorings. Oh, what a wonderful, what a beautiful lake! ; It seems as if we shall have a quiet night Not a leaf winked in the air; not a ripple disturbed the face of Gennesaret; but there seems to be a little excitement up the beach, and we hasten to see what it is, and we find it an embarkation. From the western shore a flotilla pushing out; not a squadron, or deadly armament, nor clipper with valuable merchandise, nor piratic vessels ready to destroy everything they could seize; but a flotilla, bearing messengers of life, and light, and peace. Christ Is in the front of the boat His disciples are in a smaller boat Jesus, weary with much speaking to large multitudes, is put into somnolence by the recking of the waves. If there was any motion at all, the ship was easily righted; if the wind passed from one side, from the starboard to the larboard, or from the larboard to the starboard, the boat would rock, and by the gentleness of the motion putting the Master asleep. And they extemporized a pillow made out of a fisherman's coat I think no sooner Is Christ prostrate, and his head touching the pillow, than he is sound asleep. The breeses of the lake run their fingers through the locks of the worn sleeper, and the boat rises and falls like a sleeping child on the- bosom of a sleeping mother. ; The subject in the first place impresses me with the fact that it is very important to have Christ in the ship; for all those boats would have gone to the bottom of Gennesaret if Christ had not been present Oh, what a lesson for you and for me to learn! Whatever voyage we undertake, into whatever enterprise we start, let us always have Christ in the ship. Many of you in these days of revived commerce are starting out in new financial enterprises: I bid you good cheer. Do all you can do. Do it on as high a plane as possible. You have no right to be a stoker in the ship if you can be an admiral ef the navy. Tou have no right to be a colonel of a regiment if you can command a brigade; you have no right to be engineer of a boat on river-banks, or near the coast, if you can take the ccean steamer from New York to Liverpool. All you can do with utmost tension of body, mind and soul, you are bound to do; but oh! have Christ in every enterprise. Christ in every voyage, Christ in -every ship. ; There are men who ask God to help them at the start of great enterprises. He has been with them in the past; no trouble can overthrow them; the storms might come down from the top of Mt Hermon, and lash Gennesaret into foam and into agony, but it couM not hart them, But here Is another man who starts out in worldly enterprise, and he depends upon the uncertainties of this life. He has no God to J help him. After awhile the storm.] comes, sad tosses off the masts of Che ship; he puts out his life boat; the sheriff and the auctioneer try to help him off; they can't help him off; he must go down; no Christ1 in the ship. Here are young men just' starting-oat la life. Your lias will be Jaade up of sunshine and shadow. There may be In it arctic Masts or tropical * tornadoes; 1 know not what Is before jrou, but I know If you have Christ with #ou all shall be well. ' Yon may seem to sat along without (he religion of Christ while everything^ pm smoothly, 4mt * f ^ M ^ ^ j e h e m i sorrow hovers over the soul, when the 1 waves of trial dash dear over the bar lioaas deck, and the bowsprit is skivered, end the halliards are swept toto the sea, and the gangway is crowded with piratical disasters—oh, what would you than do without Christ in ths ship? Young man. take God for your portion, God for your guide, God for your, help;, then all is well; all is well for time, an shall be well forever. Blessed is that man who puts in the Lord his trust He shall never be confounded. But my subject also impresses ms with the fact that when people start to follow Christ they must not expect smooth sailing. These disciples got into the small boats, and I have no doubt they said, "What a beautiful day this is! What a smooth seal What a bright sky this is! How delightful is sailing In this boat; and as for ths waves under the keel of the boat, why, they only make the motion of our little boat the more delightful." But when the windB swept down, and the sea was tossed into wrath, then they found that following Christ was not smooth sailing. So you have found it; so I have found it.* Did you ever notice the end of the life of the apostles of Jesus Christ? You would say that if ever men ought to have had a smooth life, a smooth departure, then those men, the disciples of Jesus Christ, ought to have had such a departure and such a life. '' St James lost his head. St Philip was hung to death on a pillar. S t Matthew had his life dashed out with a halbert St. Mark was dragged to death through the streets. St James the Less was beaten to death with a fuller's club. St Thomas was struck through with a spear. They did not find following Christ smooth sailing. Oh, how they were all tossed in the tempest! John Huss in the fire; Hugh McKail in the hour of martyrdom; the Albigenses, the Waldenses, the Scotch Covenanters—did they find it smooth sailing? My subject also impresses me with the fact that good people sometimes get very much frightened. In the tones of these disciples as they rushed into the back part of the boat I find they are frightened almost to death. They say: "Master, carest thou not that' we perish?" They had no reason to be frightened, for Christ was in the boat I suppose if we had been there we would have been just as much affrighted. Perhaps more. in all ages very good people get very" much affrighted. It is often so in our day, and men say, "Why, look at the bad lectures; look at the Spritualistfc societies; look at the various errors going over the Church of God; we are going to founder; the Church Is going to perish; she is going down." Oh, how many good people are affrighted by triumphant iniquity in our day, and think the church of Jesus Christ and the cause of righteousness are going to be overthrown, and are Just as much affrighted as the disciples of my text were affrighted. Don't worry, don't fret, as though iniquity were going to triumph over righteousness. _ A lion goes into a cavern to sleep. He lies down, with his shaggy mane covering the paws. Meanwhile the spiders spin a web across the mouth of the cavern, and say, "We have captured him." Gossamer thread after gossamer thread is spun until the whole front of the cavern is covered with the spiders' web, and the spiders say, "The Hon is done; the lion is fast^ After awhile" the Hon has got through sleeping; he rouses himself, he shakes his mane, he walks out into the sunlight; he does not even know the spiders' web is spun, and with his voice he shakes the mountain. So men come, spinning their sophistries and scepticism about Jesus Christ; he seems to be sleeping. They say, "We have captured the Lord; he will never come forth again upon the nation; Christ is captured, and captured forever. His religion will never make any conquest among men." But after awhile the Lion of the tribe of Judah will rouse himself and come forth to shake mightily the nations. What is a spider's web to the, aroused lion? Give truth and error a fair grapple, and truth will come off victor. But there are a great many good people who get affrighted in other respects; they are affrighted in our day about revivals. They say, "Oh! this is s strong; religious gale; we are afraid the Church of God is going to upset, and there are going to be a great many people brought into the Church that are going to be of no use to It;" and they are affrighted whenever they see a revival taking hold of the churches. As though a ship captain with five thousand bushels of wheat for a cargo should say, some day, jcomlng upon deck, 'Throw overboard all the cargo;" and the sailors should say, "Why, captain, what do you mean? Throw over all ths cargor "Oh," says the captain, "we have a peck of chaff that has got into this five thousand bushels wheat, and the only way to get rid of the chaff is to throw all the wheat overboard." Now, that Is a great deal wiser than the talk of a great many Christiana who want '«• threw overboard all the thsusaaas aad tens o*»j thousands of souls who have been brought is through great awakenlags. Throw all overboard because there is a peck of chaff, a quart, of chaff,, a pint of. chaff! Z say, let them stay until ths last day; the Lord will divide the chaff from the wheat Oh, thai these galea from heaven might sweep through all our churches! Oh, for sues days as Richard Baxter saw in Sngland and Robert McCheyne saw in Dundee I Qb, for such day* as Jonathan Edwards SAW in Northampton! I have often heard my father tell of the fact that la the early part of this century a revival broke*out In Somer- Tille, N. J., and some people were very much agitated about it. They said, "Ob, you are going to bring too many people into the church at once;" and they sent down to New Brunswick to get John Livingston to stop the revival. Well, there was no better soul in all the world than John Livingston. He went up; he looked at the revival; they wanted him to stop it. He stood in the pulpit on the Sabbath, and looked over the solemn' auditory, and he said: "This, brethren, is In reality the work of God; beware how you try to stop i t " And he was an old man, leaning heavily on his staff—-a very old man. And he lifted the staff, and took hold of the small end of the staff, and began to let it fall very slowly through, between the finger and the thumb, and he said: "Oh, thou impenitent, thou art falling now—falling away from life, falling away from peace and heaven, falling as certainly as that cane is falling through my hand—falling certainly, though perhaps falling very slowly." And the cane kept on falling through John Livingston's hand. The religious emotion in the audience was overpowering, and men saw a type of their doom as the cane kept falling and falling until the knob of the cane struck Mr. Livingston's hand, and he clasped It stoutly and said, "But the grace of God can stop you, as I stopped that cane;" and then there was gladness all through the house at the fact of pardon and peace and salvation. "Well," said the people after the service, "I guess you had better send Livingston home; he is making the revival worse." Oh, for the gales from heaven, and Christ on board the ship. The danger of the Church of God is not in revivals. I learn once more from this subject that Christ can hush a tempest It did seem as if everything must go to ruin. The disciples had given up the idea of managing the shlpj, the _crew were entirely demoralized; yet Christ rises, and he puts his foot on the storm, and it crouches at his feet. Oh, yes! Christ can hush the tempest. You have had trouble. Perhaps it was the little child taken away from you—the sweetest child of the household, the one who asked the most curious questions, and stood around you with the greatest fondness, snd the spade cut down through your bleeding heart Perhaps it was an only son, and your heart has ever since been like a desolated castle, the owls of the night hooting among the falling rafters and the crumbling stairways. Perhaps it was an aged mother.

Mrs. C|ara HaseUon, of.Web&errille, Michigan, related to a representative of the Industrial News the story of her cure from sosema and othes ills, welch has few if any equals in this part of the country, aad pusaled the most learned physicians. She said; / 4 My husband's name is John G. Haselten. He is a farmer, and we live In Leroy, our post-office address being WebberviUe, Mich. I am 80 years of age, and for over ten years I have •afferedironvohroaie eosema, female ' weakness and a combination of kidney end bladder troubles. "I employed the BUMS skilled physicians we could get, bat my esse went from bad to worse, until s few years ago womb trouble and painful menses added to my misery. I became so weak and helpless that it became entirely impoesible for me to perform my home duties. I tried again different physicians, but did not receive the slight- . est relief, and I finally gave up all hope of ever getting batter. "Last June I read in the Jackson Industrial News of the case of a lady who was cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and although she had only part of the difficulties with which I was afflicted, and they had been of less duration, I concluded to give Dr. William*' Pink Pills a trial in the hope that they might relieve me to some extent. On the twentieth of June I bought the first box and commenced taking them according to directions. After using three boxes I began to feel improved, and I have now taken in all nine boxes and am able to perform all my household duties. I am, however, somewhat weak, but am without pain or suffering. I am now taking the tenth box, and shall continue to use the pills a short time longer and shall never be without them again if any signs of my former trouble* should make their appearance. I can heartily recommend these wonderful little healers to all women suffering with any of the troubles with which I have been afflicted, and will cheerfully answer any inquiries regarding my wonderful cure." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood ana restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis. St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, (they are never sold in bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady.

"Yes," said the literary man, with a sigh, "style is*a fine thing for a writer to have, but when bis wife's got it, too, it takes all the profit way." always wentTo her with your troubles; She was in your home to welcome your children Into life, and when they died she was there to-pity you; that old hand will do you no more kindness; that white lock of hair you put away in the casket, or in the locket, did not look as well as it usually did when she brushed it away from her wrinkled brow inrthe home circle or In the country church. Or your property gone, you said, **I have so much bank stock, I have so many government securities, I have so many houses, I have so many farms"—all gone, all gone. Why, all the storms that ever trampled with their thunders, all the shipwrecks, have not been worse than this to you. Yet you have not been completely overthrown. Why? Christ hushed the tempest. Your little one was taken away. Christ says, "I have that little one; I can take care of him as well as you can, better than you can, O bereaved-mother!" Hushing the tempest When your property went away, God said, "There are treasures in heaven, in banks that never break." There is one storm intor which we will all have to run, the moment when we let go of this life, and try to take hold of the next, when we will want all the grace we can have—we will j want It alt Yonder I see a Christian soul rocking on the surges of death; all the powers of darkness seem let out against that soul—the swirling wave, the thunder of the sky, the screaming wind, all seem to unite together; hot that soul Is net troubled; there is no i^gM^gj there are no tears; plenty of tears la the room at the departure, bat he weeps no tears, calm, satisfied, peaceful; all is well Jesus hushing the tempest By the flash of the storm you see the harbor just ahead, aad you are making for that harbor. Strike eight beils. All is well. Into the harbor of heaven now we glide; We're home at last, home at last Softly we drift on its bright, sllv'ry t*de; We're home at last, home at last Glory «o God, all oar dangers are o'er. We stand secure on the gtorlled shave: Glory t*. God, we will shout evermorer We're home at last home at last. IT Ton Have, Here's the Way to Rid Yourself of the Weariness aad Pain Attending I t Some people suffer with headaches, many people are worn out and weary-all ' the time, many more people have hunc back and backache. Few people understand the. real cause of their aches, and fewer yet know how easily they can find a cure. Just a word of explanation before ' we prove that what we say is true. The back is the key-note of the kidneys. It aches; that's u sign that the kidneys are not working properly; it is lame; another 8ign^_the kidneys are out of order. The kidueys, you know, are the filters of the blood, but niters sometimes get clogged up. This means in their case that the blood courses through the entire system impregnated with poisonous uric acid, bringing on many a disorder which, if neglected, means disease perhaps incurable. • And now about the cure :•—Dont take our word for it; read what others say : - Mr. David C. Oaks is proprietor of the well known hardware and paint shop at— 220 East Main Street, Kalamazoo. Mr. Oaks has suffered a great deal from kidney ailments; he described his condition and cure as follows: "Ihad a bad, lame back, which I suppose was caused by my kidneys ; was confined to my bed during bad attacks. I might say, from time to time, I have been in that condition for years. The urinary organism was affected,' urine being.scanty, highly colored, and difficult in passage. I was in a bad shape when I got a box pf Doan's Kidney Pills, about which I had heard. I have used now two boxes of them, and the pills have removed all the pain and trouble There was a marked improvement right from the first, snd it has continued light along.

To go to Edinburgh, would take her -too far from her balo/red dead, while tbs thought of living with Miss Hetharinajton a t Anaandals Castla positively appalled hat. She said "No/* The lady of tha Castle received the teruia! kindly, saying, that although Marjorie could not take up her residence at the Castle, she must not altogether avoid i t "Come when you wlah, my halm," concluded the old lady. "You'll aye he welcome. We are both lonely women now, and must comfort one another." During the first few days, however, Marjorte did not go. She sat at home during the day, and in the dusk of tha evening, when she believed no one would see her, she went forth to visit tha churchyard and cry beside her foster- father's grave. At length, however, she remembered the old lady's kindly words, and putting an her bon- Jlet and a thick veil, she one morning set out on a visit to Annandalo Castle. Marjorie had not seen Miss Hetherlngton since that day she came down to the funeral; when, therefore, she was shown into the lady's presence, she almost uttered a frightened cry. There sat the grim mistress of the Cattle in state, but looking as worn and faded as her faded surroundings. Her face was pinched and worn, as if with heart eating grief or mortal disease!. She received the girl fondly, yet with something of her old imperious manner, and during the interview she renewed the offer of protection. But Marjorie, after looking at the dreary room and its strange mistress, gave a most decided negative. She remained with Miss Hotherington only a short l i m e , and when she left the Castle, her? mind was so full of solicitude that she walked along utterly oblivious to everything about her. Suddenly she started and uttered a glad cry of surprise. A maa had touched her on the shoulder, and, lifting her eyes, she beheid her-lover. . The Frenchman was dressed as she had last seen him, in plain black; his face was pale and troubled. Marjorie, feeling that new sense of desolation upon her, drew near to his side. "Ah, monsieur," she said, "you have come—at last*" Caussidiere did not embrace her, but held her hands and patted them fondly, * while Marjorie, feeling comforted by his very presence, allowed her tears to flow unrestrainedly. He let her cry for a time, then he placed her hand upon his arm and walked with her slowly in the direction of the manse, "My Marjorie," he said, "my own dear love! this has been a sore trial to you, but you" have borne it bravely. I have seen you suffer, and I have suffered, too." "You have seen, monsieur?" "Yes, liarjorie. Did you think because I was silent I had forgotten? Ah, no, tty love. T havA watched over YOU always. I have seen you go forth at night and cry as if your little heart would break. But I have said nothing, because I thought 'Such grief is sacred. I must watch and wait/ and I have waited." "Yes, monsieur." "But today, Marjorie, when I saw you come from the Castle with your face all troubled—ah, so troubled, my Marjorie!— I thought, 'I can wait no longer; my little one needs me; she will tell me her grief, and now in her hour of need I will help her/ So I have come, Marjorie, and my little one will confide all her sorrows to me." Then the child In her helplessness clung to him; for he loved her and sympathised with her; and she told him the fall extent of her own desolation. Tha Frenchman listened attentively while she spoke. When she ceaned he clasped her hands more fervently than before, and said: "Marjorie, come to my hoxne!" She started and drew her hands away. She knew what more he would say, and H seemed to her sacrilege, when the clergyman had been so recently laid to his grave. The Frenchman, gathering from her face the* state of her sated. •ooaatavad archaically **1 know it ta not a time to talk of love. Majorie; bot it is a time to talk of marriagpe! When you were in Edinburgh. 70« gave me your promise, and yon aaM 70a tovti me. I ask you nose, fuUUl yomr pf^mise; let us be- -Too west j o u mow, friendlove you, and I wish you to be my wife!" "You are very good." "Marjorie?" "Yes." "fell me, when will you make me the happiest man alive?" Marjorie looked at her black dress, and her eyes filled with tears. "I do not know—I can not tell," nhe said. "Not y e t " "En blen!—but it must not be long delayed, The decrees of destiny hurry us onward. You will soon be thrust from the manse, as you say, while I must return to France." "You are going away!" "Most assuredly I must soon go. My future is brightening before me, and I am glad—thank heaven!—there are few dark clouds looming ahead to sadden our existence, my child. The tyrant who desecrates France will one day fall; meantime his adyisers Juave persuaded him to pardon many political offenders, myself amongst them. So I shall see France again! Ood is good! When He restore* me to my country he will give me also my wife. Put your little hand in mine and say, 'Leon, I trust you with all my heart/ Say it, my child, and, believe me, your faith shall not be misplaced." He held forth his hand to her, and Marjorie, tremblingly raising her 3yea to his face, said in broken accents, "I do trust you." So a second time the troth was plighted, and whether for good or ill, Marjorie's fate was sealed. •C"H*rTER XVIII. HE day following her final promise to Caussidiere, Marjorie received intimation that the new minister was coming without delay to take possession of the living. Her informant was Solomon Muckleback- It, whose funereal despair was tempered with a certain lofty scorn. On the following Saturday arrived the new minister, prepared to officiate for the first time in the parish. He was a youngish man, with red hair and beard, and very pink complexion; but his manners were unassuming and good natured. His wife and family, he explained, were about to follow him in about ten days; and in the meantime his furniture and other chattels were coming en by train. Shown over the manse by Solomon, he expressed no little astoiishment at findlug only two or three rooms furnished, and those very barely. "Mr. Lorraine never married?" he inquired, as they passed from room to room. "The meenister was a wise man," replied Solomon, ambiguously. "He lived and he dee'd in single sanctity, according to the holy commandments of tfae-ApuHlle Paul." "Just so," said Mr. Freeland, with a smile. "Well, I shall find the manse small enough for my belongings. Mistress Freeland has been used to a large house, and we shall need every room. The chamber facing the river, up stairs, will make an excellent nursery." "My aln bedroom!" muttered Solomon. " WeeU weel, I'm better out of the house." At the service on the following day there was a large attendance to welcome the new minister. Solomon occupied his usual place as precentor, and his face, as Mr. Freeland officiated above him. was a study in its expression of mingled scorn, humiliation and despair. But the minister had a resonant voice, and a manner of thumping the cushion which carried conviction to the hearts of all unprejudiced observers. The general verdict upon him, when the service was over, was that he was the right man in the right place, and "a grand preacher." The congregation slowly cleared away, while Majorie, lingering behind, walked sadly to the grave of her old foster-father, and stood looking upon it through fastly-falling tears. So rapt was she in her own sorrow that she did not hear a tooUUv behind her, and, not till Caussidiere had come up and taken her by the haad was she aware of his presence. "So the chance has come at last, my Marjorie," be sajdj "was I not right! This place is no longer a home Jar yon." "Monsieur!" "Call me Leon. Snail we not be man and w i f e r But Marjorie only sobbed. "He was so good. He was my my only friend!" "Peace he with him,- n*»r**i the Frenchman, tenderly. "He loved you dearly, mignonne, and I knew h i i only wish would be to see youhappy, fjook what I hold la my band. A charm—a talisman—parbleu, It is like the wonderful lamp of Aladdin, which will carry us, as soon aa you will, hundreds of miles away." • Aa he spoke he drew forth a folded paper and smilingly held it before her. "What is it, monsieur?" she asked, perplexed. "No; you must call me Leon—then I will tell you/* "What Is it—Leon?" "The special lfcanse, Marjorle^which permits us to marry when andwfeero we will/* Marjorie started and trembled, then she looked wildly at the grave. "Not yet," she murmured. "Do not ask me yet." He glanced round—no one was near— so with a quick movement he drew her to him, and kissed her fondly on the lips. "You have no home now," he cried; "strangers come to displace you, to trrn you out into the cold world. But y u have one who loves you a thouat td times better for your sorrow and yc ir poverty—ah, yes, I know you are po rl—and who will be ypur loving protector till the end." PTie looked at him In wonder. Ah, ho*'' good and kind he was! Knowing hex miserable birth, seeing her friendless and almost cast away, he would still >e beside her, to comfort and cherish 1 >r with his deep affection. If s h e had iver doubted his sincerity, could shOid-ubt it now? * * * • ~ * * Hali an hour later Caussidiere was walking rapidly in the direction of Annan(*\le Castle He looked supremely self-r-Ulafled and happy, and hummed a ligv t French air as he went. Arriving at the door, he knocked, and the serving-woman appeared in answer to the summons. "Miss Hetherington, if you please." "You canna see her," was the sharp reply. "What's your business?" "Give her this card, if yon please, and tell her I must see her without delay." After some hesitation the woman carried the card, away, first shutting the door unceremoniously in the visitor's face. Presently the door opened again, and the woman beckoned him in. He followed her along the gloomy lobbies, and up stairs, till they reached the desolate boudoir which he had en* tered on a former occasion. The woman knocked. "Come in," said the voice dfc her mistress. Caussidiere entered the chamber, and found Miss Hetheringtatr, wrapped in an old-fashioned morning gown, seated in an arm-chair at her escritoire. Parchmonts, loose papers and packets of old letters lay scattered before her. She wheeled her chair sharply round as he entered, and fixed her eyes upon the Frenchman's face. She looked inexpressibly wild and ghastly, but her features wore an expression of indomitable resolution. Caussidiere bowed politely, then, turning softly,"he closed" the door: "What brings you here?" demanded the lady of the Castle. "I wish to see you, my lady," he returned. "First, let me trust that you are better, and apologize for having disturbed you on such a day." Miss Hetherington knitted her brows and pointed with trembling forefinger to a c h a i r . - "Sit down" she said. Caussidiere obeyed her, and sat down, hat in hand. There was a pause, broken at last by the lady's querulous voice. "Weel, speak! Have you lost your tongue, man? What's your will with me?" Caussidiere replied with extreme suavity: "I am anxious, my lady, that all misunderstanding should cease between us. To prove my sincerity, I will give you a piece of news. I have asked Miss Annan to marry me, and with your consent she is quite willing." "What!" cried Miss Hetherington, half rising from her chair, and then sinking back with a gasp and a moan. "Have ye dared r* Caussidiere gently inclined his head. "And Marjorie—she has dared to accept ye, without warning me?" "Pardon me, she is not aware that you have any right to be consulted. I, however, who acknowledge your right, have come in her name to solicit your kind approbation." "And what do you threaten, man, If I say 'no no—a hundred ttnten n o r " Caussidiere shrugged his shoulders. "Parbleu, I threaten nothing; I am a gentleman, as I have toM you. But should you put obstacles i n my. way. it may be unpleasant for all concerned." Miss Hetherington rose to her feet, livid with rage, and shoos: her extended hands i n her tormentor'a face, "It's weel for you Tm no a man! if I were a man, ye would never pass that door again living!

Boys are reciting that moet admirable and patriotic poem of Oliver Wendell Holmes', "Old Ironsides," in school to this day, as they ought to; and Curtis Guild, journalist and man o* letters, reminds the world in his reowrt book, "A Chat About Celebrities," that he was given a perfect mark for reciting it to. declamation hours during his boyhood, a performance repeated many years later by his son. This is interesting, but much more so is Mr. Guild's accounts of a dinner given at the Fifth Avenue hotel Just after the close ot the crvlTwar: ENTIRE LINE c OF * 50 CENT HATS for ii CENTS. SIUTIHI INS. !,* Not more tJssVn half a dozen guests were present, among them a wellknown Englishman, Cassius M. Clay, lately our minister at St. Petersburg, and that gallant sailor, Commodore (afterward admiral) Boggs, who destroyed six Confederate gunboats, and had his own, the Varuna, sunk under him in Farragut's attack on the Mississippi forts in April, 1861, but not until he had driven his l«&l opponent ashore and afire. Some conversation was had regarding war poems, and the Englishman declared himself in favor of Tennyson's "Charge of the Six Hundred." An enthusiastic admirer of the laureate at all times did not hesitate to set this at the very head of ajl verse of its kind. This fervent praise brought some amused dissent from the others, one of them remarking that the rhythm reminded him of rolling pumpkins over a bafti floor and laughing at the attempt to rhyme the words "blundered" and "hundred." An attempt was made to retort by defying the Americans present to name anything written by a fellow countryman which had half HA spirit, to which Mr. Guild responded quickly by giving the title of "Old Ironsides." Thereupon the question was asked if he knew the verses, and on being assured that such was the fact the challenge was issued, the Englishman to recite from Tennyson, the American from Holmes, and tho verdict of the company to decide.

Vernley dashed for Bascombe, and for several minutes pandemonium reigned. Finally the "spirit*1 escaped. Mr. Bascombe maintains that the "spirit" was Mrs. Vernley, but both the Vernleys deny this, and the town is divided.

There were several hundred cases at Ocean Springs with frequent deaths and the boards of health of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana took precautions to prevent its spread, but Raoul Gelpl, who had been spending the summer at Ocean Springs, was, taken to his home at New Orleans and died the next morning. Dr. Wahnsley, acting president of the board of health there, after an autopsy, announced that Gelpl had died4 of yellow fever. The death of young Gelpi naturally caused inuchioaieitement in the city. All of the principal cities of the south are now quarantining against, Ocean Springs, Biloxi and other gulf, points and should there be the least sign of a spread of the disease in New Orleans quarantine will be declared against that city.

As soon as the drillers saw the flames several climbed into the derrick to shut off the gas, but they had hardly gotten there when there Was a second terrific explosion. The burning gas had started the remaining glycerine Tn the empty cans standing in a wagon near the derrick. In another wagon near by was another 120 quarts of the stuff and this was exploded.

Of him I will say here that he was yet young,' about twenty-six or seven, a good looking, manly fellow, with a handsome income. Now let him speak for himself. l^lng upon a. wide lounge, Just under the window of which I made mention, was a little figure hidden by an Afghan,, but above this could be seen a face of delicate beauty, with child like, blue eyes, wistful and pathetic in expression and loose curls of pure gplden tint. Over this face was a perplexed shadow, and more than once the pretty lips murmured: "Oh, how mean, how wicked it is to listen. But I must hear! I must hear!" The, friends had discussed current topics until, as I have said,they became confidential, when Roy said, rather abruptly: ,., i. "I heard some gossip about you as I passed through New York." ''Yes? I did: not know I was of sufficient importance to be a subject for gossip. What, if it is not a secret, did you bear?" "Tell me, first, If you are engaged to be married?" "No." "Short and not particularly sweet. I heard then that, ypn were engaged to a hunchback, a little monster." The face on the other side of the window grew white am snow, but Robert Blake gathered his brow in a heavy frown. "Don't be angry, old' fellow!" his friend pleaded. "X was foolish to repeat it. ' I might' have' known, it was false, being well aware of your fastidious loVe of beauty." "False, yet! ' Bfct I would give all I suffering I had caused. But tt wtA. t«x years before I aaw May again. I went abroad when they came home, but cirenmstances prevented a farewell visit to Owl's Nest, and I remained, as you know, in Italy, on account of my father's health. Do yon wonder, Roy, that I was a reserved, morose boy at college?" "Reserved, yes, but often very sad," replied his friend, "but never morose. Many times I longed to ask for your confidence, but there was something that told me it was too deep a sorrow you were biding for any intrusion." "I could not talk of it in those days. When my father died and I planned to return to my home, I renewed my 5ilf-exacted vows to devote my life to ay, but—do not despise me, Roy—it as with ap* added misery and pain. Remember, I bad not once seen her since the day when I carried her home, after my hard hrul ruined her young life, but I knew that she was deformed. I was a young man. In the full vigor of health, aid, while my conscience told me qery plainly that I owed my life to May Talbot, my heart shrank from the only way In which I- could offer i t Common sense spoke very plainly. Only as my wife could I give to May the tender care, the love, that might throw some gladness Into her life. And I, like a coward, thought of the long,misery of my own life.tied to a deformed woman that I did not love. So I came home, a slave In my own idea to my duty, and resolved to wear my chains bravely. It was summer weather again when I went to Owl's Nest, and, to my surprise, the house was full of guests, most of them young people. I think that May must have gathered something of my Intention from my letters, for she was no longer a child, and suffering had made her womanly .even beyond her years. 1'only,guessed, this from her manner. I had expected to meet a frank, cousinly welcome, for our correspondence had been like that of an affectionate brother and sister, but May was dignified and even, chilling in her greeting. It was soon evident to me that she was trying to thrust other ladles who were her guests upon my care, and to avoid me as far as possible." "But Was she repulsive, Bob?" "Repulsive! She was far from that, my proof darling. Peeling her deformity, as such sensitive rtatures do feel any personal defect, she had a morbid ides that she was hideous, and yet a craving to be loved, if she could not be admired. Governed by this wish, she had cultivated a naturally fine in- 'tsllect by eoristatrt**study, poring over books when other gtrls of her age would have bees seeking pleasure fn flirtations or amusements.

She was the sweetest little fairy at ten years old that you ever saw, but J was a great hulking boy of sixteen, and 'did' net wsderstand how delicate she really was. I actually believe I was In love With her then, but I was at the most awkward age for inch 'sentiment, and r covered my actual adoration by teasing tier. We were on the hill behind sty ancle's house,where there was a steep-declivity, and I was, as usual, halt romping with her, taxing her temper by my hateful manner, wheri somehow, heaven knows how unintontioaalir, I pushed her over the edgeietf t h e n i l t and- she fell down to the foot When I reached her she was white and senseless, and I thought dead. Oh. the ton* agony of that walk when I took her In my arms to the house, staggering into the room where her mother was and putting her into her arms, only to rash away for a doctor. I was a murderer In my own eyes, and for days while she lay between life and death my misery could not be described- It was some comfort that she ljved, but when I was told that the Injury'to her spine would be a life-long deformity, then, boy as I was, I made a solemn vow to devote my life to her."" The little figure on the lounge quivered convulsively, the tiny hands pressed each other closely, and only by a great effort did the listener smother a cry of pain. Presently the deep, manly voice resumed the story. "I was sent back to boating school • before May (did I tell yo* her name was May Talbot?) was able to see me, and from school I went to col lege, while any uncle and aunt were in Germany, trying the* baths for their darting. Every letter was a torture for me. yet I longed for them, watched for them, and shed bitter tears over the record of the THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD. ficient, and her singing was a pore delight to her friends, gut for me she never sang; she never played; never chatted as she did with her other friends, and avoided me so persistently that at last a horrible fear took possession of me. In spite of her natural sweetness of disposition, her affectionate letters, I feared she had never really forgiven me, but was too*' generoUs* to letime know the truth." ' " ' *W»f Not an unnatural fear. But, my dear fellow, when you found your'* self so persistently snubbed, why did you not leave her? You had done ail your conscience required." "But not' all my heart desired! One day, when she was more gracious than usual, I made her a downright offer of marriage. She was furious! She said I insulted her! Nothing could convince her that I was not trying to make amends for the past, at the price of my own happiness. From hot Indignation she became pathetic, asking me how I could so wound her, finally leaving me In tears. To say that I felt like a brute gives but a faint Idea of my sensations. I left Owl's Nest the same day, trying to comfort myself by my own virtuous intentions. But, Roy, I love her. I love her with all the strength of my heart. Her deformity to me Is "out a touching reminiscence of the tenderness I owe her. and Which I long, unutterably1, to pour out\upon her. To me she is the one woman in the world, and I cannot imagine a deeper, purer happiness than mine would be could I call her my wife. How to convince her of this, how to overcome her morbid horror that l a m unwillingly devoting myself to her service, I do not yet anow. But I anr try. Surely such deep, sincere love at mine must at last win its way and Iswee her to believe In its truth.'* "Yon have my best wishes. Oosme, shall we ride?" So they strolled <*way to order their horses, and May Talbot threw off the Afghan, » stand before her mirror, and ono more compare her Stele crooked figure with the thought of wtaV er women's symmetry. But into the blue eyes had come a tadiance that made her whole face )oy» ous. Over the sweet, sensitive lips how ered a smile born of love and auch hap* plneas as her life had never known before. For she loved her knight well, this fair maiden who would not accept his Pity. To have been his wife.doubt- Ing his motive in seeking her, to have thought every tender word a duty wrung from his remorse, would have been torture. To be his wife because he loved her, had wpn her love, was such happiness that the truth made her dizzy, and she sank into a deep arm chair, sobbing for pure joy. "My dear," said a matronly lady, presently entering the room, "who do you think 1B here? Robert Blake! I met him as we drove up to the porch steps. Tell me, darling, will it be painful for you to see him? We can go away if It is." "No, mamma. I want to see him." But she made no explanation. She met him in the evening promenade, when, leaning upon her stepfather's arm, she slowly walked on the beach. Her smile, her soft words of welcome, Invited him to remain beside her. and soon he was alone with her, the older gentleman pleading fatigue. They were alone, though hundreds passed and repassed In the public promenade. Her voice was low, yet he heard it above the roar of the breakers, when she said: "Robert, I am afraid I was very unkind to you, last month." "Very unkind, my darling!" he said, all his love in his eyes, as he looked Into her face. . "Will you forgive me?" „ " ' , "On one condition only; that you are kind now, and will promise to be my wife." "I wllll" she said, gently, "your true, loving wife, Robert, for I love you with all my heart." "As I love you!" he answered.

Kbbert Wilson Will Soon Join His Father In Itnnesota, Whom He Has Never Seen A Trip Through Phelps Brace £ Co'8. New Coffee Plant. Through the courtesy of F. H. Hubbard, traveling salesman for Phelps, Brace & Co., of Detroit, wholesale grocers, on Saturday of last week we inspected their new coffee roasting and spice plant on Larnec> street. Their coffee plant has already been fitted up under the supervision of R. S. Gehlert, who has a thorough knowledge of the coffee business and is a most genial gentleman. He claims that it is the most complete roasting and milling plant west of New York. On the first floor of the factory is found the offices, shipping room and storage of preen coffees, the second for manufacturing specialties, the third contains the coffee storage bins, and the fourth the roasters and grading and milling machines. The coffee is received in the green, raw state, and passes through every process till it comes out as the finished product, and that without being once handled by hand. The mode of roasting is an entirely new one. The P. P. C. roaster is the one used and this company have the sole right for this territory. Gas is used for fuel and the coffee beans are dropped through the flame instead of being slowly roasted, which latter process results in the loss of the essential oils. By the old method it took from 35 to 40 minutes to roast 200 pounds, whereas it is now done in from 9 to 14 minutes, according to grade. While we were there they put in 200 pounds and in just 13 minutes the batch was roa'sted, dumped, and another 200~pounds were fct*rte<LThe revolving cylinder, which picks up ihe berries and drops them through the flame, also drops out several berries at every revo- JtORE INTERESTING NEWS. lution and picks them up~again7 having exposed them long enough -for tl)g mqn-ftt thp machine to_see^ how it is doing, and he can stop the heat the instant the coffee is done, when it is subjected to a series of cold blasts which cool it very rapidly. It is claimed that two pounds of gas-roasted coffee are equivalent to three pounds roasted by the old process. The visit was one of much interest to us and we found the company a set of genial men to do business with. Robert Wilson, a printer in the employ of the North Lansing Record, has just received a letter from his father, whom he never had any recollection of seeing and whose whereabouts he never knew. Young Wilson's mother died when he was eight days old, and his father disappeared before the boy came to the age of understanding. He lived in Stratford, Ont, with his grandparents, and went to school until he was a young man, when he came to Michigan and learned the printer's trade, and and about a year ago he came to Lansing. Recently he made some inquiries through the Port Huron Times, and an item which appeared in that paper fell under the eye of his long-lost parent, who is the proprietor of a wholesale and retail bakery in St. Paul, Minn. Today young Wilson received a letter from his father, who makes his identification complete. The latter says that should young Wilson prove to be his son, as he undoubtedly is, the writer will be the happiest man on earth. He has made several efforts to find his son, but his letters never reached their destination. Young Wilson was overjoyed upon receiving the letter and will soon go to see his father.—Tribune, Sept 11, Young Wilson was foreman of the Pinckney DISPATCH for one year and often spoke to us of his father, whom he was trying to locate at that time. He has many friends who will be glad t o learn of his success. G r a n d O p e n i n g off tlie G r a n d T r n o k R a i l w a y S y s t e m ' s N e w Arch Steel B r i d g e .

It may seem strange but it is nevertheless a fact that cattle are being shipped from east to the west A train load was received at Omaha a few days ago which were bought at Buffalo for $4.15 per hundred and sold in Nebraska for $2.15. In view of the increasing scarcity of cattle, Michigan farmers will probably find it more advantageous to feed their corn than to sell it. It is easier to market corn on the hoof than on the cob, and when corn is cheap and cattle are high it is much more profitable. Gossip has made many a home a hell upon earth.

It is 7 inches wide and stands 12 inches high to the top of the whistle. It weighs 46} pounds without fuel or water. There are more than 2,500 pieces to the engine, without counting the rivets in the tank or boiler. This perfect little bit of mechanism was bnilt on a scale of three-fourths of an inch to the foo£ by Gustave Schier, a machinist in the Western Sue;ar Refinery in San Francisco. It took him eight years to build it, working two nr three hours a day, and he places its value in time and materials at 92,000. He says he wouldn't do it again. His friends wanted him to exhibit at the world's fair, but he wouldn't consent to let the public see it in an unfinished state. The engine generates its own steam and can carry 150 pounds. It has every equipment that can be found on the most complete engine of the day. Schier is a* German by birth and has lived in this country 12 years. He has made two stationary engines six and a half inches high, which are,, good for two horse power each, and several clever inventions. J. B.

It can be figured up that the wagon is over 65 years old and has been in active work all that time, and is a pretty good wagon yet—Bow- \* wille Review.

Three ot the most valuable products of the mine have been found in Alaska— gold, petroleum and coal. All of these minerals are found there in abundance.

If a firm gives its men and their families a summer outlng.the act seems pyrty»niTly grai»1nm arid generous. The^ liberality is widely emphasised if the excursion plan involve the hiring of apodal train and provsJon for amusements on a large scale. But what shall be said of an outing which gives delight to ten thousand people associated as employes and families with a single firm; of the'sixteen special trains; of a chartering of all the best hotels and restaurants in a town; of a wholesale securing of pleasure steamers, bathing machines, bands and the like? That Is the storx^ in brief of a recent outing in England, planned aaeV paid for by a single firm. Who would be unwise enough to say the^jr^nywte a poor investment? A return' in "better work* more cheerful feelings, lively gratitude, is always the seauei ot such HE greatest waj the world has ever seen is between capital and labor. The strife is not like that which in history' is called the Thirty Years' War, for it 1» a war of centuries, it is a war of the five continents, it is a war hemispheric, The middle classes in this country, upon whom the nation has depended for holding the balance of power and for acting as mediators between the two extremes, are diminishing; and if things go on at the same ratio as they-are now going, it will not he very long before there will be no middle class in this country, but all will be very rich or very poor, princes or paupers, and the country will be given up to palaces and hovels. The antagonistic forces are closing in upon eachk other, The Pennsylvania miners' strikes, the telegraph operators' strikes, the railroad employes' strikes, the movements of the boycotters and the dynamiters are only skirmishes before a general engagement, or, if you prefer It, escapes through the safety-valves of an imprisoned force which promises the explosion of society. You may poohpooh it; you may say that this trouble, like an angry child, will cry itself to sleep; you may belittle it by calling it Fourlerlsm, or Socialism, or St. Slntonlsm, or Nihilism, or Communism; but that will not hinder the fact that it is the mightiest, the darkest, the most terrific threat of this century. All attempts at pacification have been dead failures, and monopoly Is more arrogant, and the trades unions more hitter. "Give us more wages," cry the employes. "You shall have less," say the capitalists. "Compel us to do few- *r hours of toil in a day." "You shall toll more hours," say the others. "Then, under certain condition, we will #ot work at all," say these. "Then you shall starve," say those, and the. workmen gradually using up that whleh they accumulate in better times, unless there be some radical change, we shall have soon in this -country/four million hungry men and women. Now, four millions hungry peojM%oas*iot be kept quiet All the enactments of legislatures and all the constabularies of the cities, and all the army and navy of the United States cannot keep four million hungry people quiet. What then? Will this war between capital and labor be settled by human wis-, 4*m? Never. * v < I shall first show you how this qua**- raj between monopoly and hard .work cannot be stopped,-ind then I will show you how thla controversy will be settled, /utile remedies. In the first place there will come no pacification to this trouble through an outcry against rich men me/ely because they are rich. ^-.-,: There- K>tfreKfc never *he same in W S o B e r n states that it is in the eastern, the difference ranging from four to. eight per Gent Between East Canada and 4 West , C a n * U ^ e rate varies only one or two per cent. The American Agriculturist suggests that this may be due to the flexibility of our neighbors* banking system, whlsfc, like that of. Scotland, makes generous provision for "branch banks." For instance, in 1895, the thirty-eight banks of Canada reported more than five hundred blanches, located In two hundred and eighty-seven cities and t o w n s - some of them pretty small towns. By such branches the surplus saving east and the expanding, energetic west is ore the farmor who - J 7 - * « I « . T I M wants a loan Is spared a gooTdeal of 'f l e M * m y ^ ^ delay, *ed tape and expense. Doubtless the Canadian method has its shortcomings, like others, but it Is easy to agree with the Agriculturist's chief conclusion, that since American cities are already well supplied with banks of discount, "the needs of the country districts iflay be mainly considered in this connection." on earth that would not be rich if he could be. Sometimes through a fortunate invention,-^ through some accident of prosperity, a man woo had nothing oomee to a large estate, and we see him arrogant and supercilious, and taking people by the throat just as other people took him by the throat. There is something, very mean about human nature when it comes to the top. Bpt it Is no more a sin to he rich than It is a sin to be poor. There art those who hs+ve^ gathered a great estate through i n f o , and then there are milttonaKes who have gathered their fortunes' through foresight in regard tp changes in the markets, and through brilliant business faculty, and every dollar of their estate is as "honest as the dollar which the plumber gets for saencttng * pipe, o r the mason gets lor fceiMlhg a wall.'* there are those who keep in poverty because of.their own* fault. They might hare been :wsU-enV hut they, gave themselves to strong; drink, or fney smoked or chewed up their earnings, or they Uved beyond their means, while others pjtthe same, wages .and on the same salaries went on^to competency. I know a man who la all the time complaining of his poverty and crying out against rich men,, while he hiself keeps two-dags* and chews and smokes, and Is ftjpod to the chin with whisky and bear) : r Micawher said to David Ceoperfield: "Copperneld, my hoy, one found la* uome, twenty shillings and sixpence expenses: result misery. INI, Copper- Thls bombardment of commercial success will never stop this quarrel between capital and labor. Neither win the contest be settled by cynieal and unsympathetic treatment of the laboring classes. There are those who speak of them as though they wese only battle or draught horse*,. Their nerves are nothing,' their' domestic comfort ti nothing, their happiness is nothing. They have' no more sympathy for them than «T hound has for a hare, or a hawk for a hen, or a tiger for a calf. When Jean Valjean, the greatest hero of Victor Hugo's writings, after a life of suffering and brave endurance, goes into incarceration and death, they clap the book shut and say, "Good for him!" They stamp their feet with indignation and say just the opposite of "Save the working-classes." They have all their sympathies with Shylock, and not with Antonio and Portia. They are plutocrats, and their feelings are in* fernal. They are filled with irritation and Irascibility on this subject. To stop this awful imbroglio between capital and labor they will lift not so much as the tip end of the little finger. Neither will there be any pacification of this angry controversy through violence. Ood never blessed murder. Well :if this controversy between capital and labor cannot be settled by human wisdom, if today capital and labor stand with their thumbs on each other's throat—as they do—it is time for us to look somewhere else for relief and it points from my text roseate and jubilant and puts one hand on the broadcloth shoulder of capital, and puts the other on the home-spuncovered shoulder of toll, and says, with a voice that will grandly and gloriously settle this, and settle everything, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them." That is, the lady of the household will any: "I must treat the maid in the kitchen just as I would like to be treated if I were downstairs, and it were my work to wash, and cook, and sweep, and It were the duty of the maid in the kitchen to preside in this parlor." The maid in the -kitchen must say: "If my employer seems to be more prosperous than I, that Is no fault of hers; I shall not treat her as an enemy. I will have the same industry and fidelity down-stairs as I would expect from my subordinates, if I happened to he the wife of a silk importer," . The owner of an iron mill, having taken a dose of my text before leaving home in the morning, will go into his foundry, and, passing Into what is called the puddllng-room, he will see a man there stripped to the waist, and besweated and exhausted with the labor and the toil and he will say to him; "Why it seems to be very hot in here. ^You look very much exhausted. I hear your child is sick with scarlet fever. If you want your wages a little earlier this week so as to pay the nurse and get the medicines, just come Into my office any time." After awhile, crash goes (he money, market, and there is no mpre demand for the articles .manufactured in that iron mill, and the\ owner does not *now what to do. He 'says, "Shall I stop the mill; or shalll run K on half time,, or shall I cut down the men's wages?" He walks the .floor of his counting-room all day, hardly knowing' what to do. Towards evening he calls trades-unioiL all the laborers together. They stand penses nineteen shillings and sixpence; result, happiness." And there are vast multitudes oj people who are kept poor because -they are the victims of their own improvidence. It i s no sin to be rich, and it is no sin to be poor. I protest agpahMt this outcry which I hear against those who, through economy and. self-denial and assiduity, have oome to large fortune. all around, some with arms akimbo, some with folded arms, wondering wfaat^the hoaa la rnlng to do now Thp' manufacturer says: "Men, times are very hard; I don't make twenty dollars where I used to make one hundred. Somehow, there is no demand now for what we manufacture, or but very little demand. You see I am at vast expense, and I have called you together this afternoon tp see what you would advise. I don't want to shut up jthe mill, because that would force you out of work, and you have always been very faithful, and I like you, and you seem to like me, and the bairns must be looked after, and your wife will after awhile want a new dress. I don't know what to do." ' r There is a dead halt for a minute or two, and then one of the workmen steps out from the ranks of his fellows, and says: "Boss, you have been very good to us, and when you prospered we prospered, and now, you are in a tight place and I am' sorry, and we have got to sympathize with you. I o'on't know how the others feel, but I propose that we take off twenty per cent from our wages, and that when the times get good you will remember us and raise them again." The workman looks around to his comrades, and says: "Boys, what do you say to this? All in favor of my proposition will say ay." "Ay! ay! ay!" shout two hundred voices. But the mMl-owner, getting in some new machinery, exposes himself very much, and takes cold, and it settles into pneumonia, and he dies. In the procession to'the tonfb are all the workmen, tears rolling down their cheeks, and off upon the ground; but an hour before the procession gets to the cemetery the wives and the children of those workmen are at the grave waiting for the arrival of the funeral pageant The minister or religion may have delivered an eloquent euloglum before they started from th« house, but the most impressive things are said that day by the workingclasses standing around the tomb.

No. I cut out of a pamper this: "One of the pleasantest Incidents recorded in a long time Is re->< ported from Sheffield, England. The wages of the men in the iron works at Sheffield are regulated by a board of arbitration, by whose decision both masters and men are bound. For some time pasvthe iron and. steel trade has been etxremely unprofitable, and the employers cannot, without much loss, pay the wages fixed by the board, which neither employers nor employed have the power to change. To avoid this difflcuHj, the workmen in -one of the largest steel works in Sheffield hit upon a device as rare as it was-generous. They offered to work for- their employers one week without any pay whatever." But you go with me and I will show you—not so far off as Sheffield, England— factories, banking houses, store houses, and costly enterprises where this Christ-like injunction of my text is fully kept, and you could no more get the employer to practice an injustice upon his men, or the men to conspire against the employer, than you could get your right hand and your left hand, your right eye and your left eye, your right ear and your left ear, into physiological antagonism. Now, where Is this to begin? In our homes, in our stores, on our farms—not waiting for other people to do their duty. Is there a divergence now between the parlor and the kitchen? Then there is something wrong, either in the parlor or the kitchen, perhaps m both. Are the clerks In yonr store irate against the firm? Then there is something wrong, either behind the counter, or in the private office, ot perhaps in both. The great want of the world today is the fulfillment of this Christ-UKe injunction, that which he promulgated in his sermon Olivette. Alt the political economists under the archivault of the heavens in convention for a thou-' sand yeans cannot settle this controversy between monopoly and hard work, between capital and labor. During the Revolutionary war there was a heavy plfcceeC timber to be lifted, ner*- haps for seme fortress, and a corporal was .overseeing the work, and he was giving commands to some soldiers as theyv lifted? "Hewve away, there! yo hee-vel" Weil, the timber was -too heavy; they «ould not getit'njp'.' The're was a gentleman riding byon'a horse, and he stopped and-safd to'tfiis corporal, "Why don't you help them lift? That timber Is too heavy for' tnem to lift." "No," he said, "Fwon't?I aft a corporal.** The genBemah^gctt' off his horse and came up to the placed "Now," he said to Che soldiers, "all together— yo^heaveP?—and the—timber went to its place gentleman to the corporal, "when you THRJEB eNQTNBS BLEW UP.

"I am not a rich man, madameV' »*• ewered Caussidiere, smiling. "If I give you a hundred pound* will you leave this place, and never let me •ee your face again?" ^ Caussidisx* mused.. "One hundred pounds; It Is not much.** "Two hundred!" exclaimed the lady, eagerly. "Two hundred is better, but still not much. With two hundred pounds—and fifty—I might even deny myself the pleasure of your charming acquaintance." Miss Hetherington turned toward her desk, and reached her trembling hand toward hen check-book, which lay there ready. "If I give ye two hundred and fifty pounds will you do as' I bid ye? Leave this place forever, and speak no word of what has passed to Marjorie Annan?" "Yes," said Causafdlere, "I think I can promise that" Quickly and nervously MUs Hether- 'jrlngton filled up a cheek. "Please do not cross it," suggested Caussidiere. "I will draw the .money at your banker's in Dumfries." The lady tore ,o£ ^he $heck» but still hesitated. ' "Can I trust ye?" she muttered. "I knew it was siller ye sought, and not the lassie, but " "You may Jrely upon my promise that I shall return forthwith to France, where a great political career lies open before me."

" ' ' "In the cofcrse of th* next"fiw days, I have somir little arrahxententa, a few bills to settle, and then—en route to France." He bowed again, and gracefully retired. Passing downstairs, and out at "Two hundred and fifty pounds!" he •aid, laughing "How good of her, how liberal, to pay our traveling expenses F Meantime, Miss Hetherington sat in her gloomy boudoir, looking, the picture of misery and despair. Her eyes worked wildly, her lips trembled convulsively. "Oh, Hugh, my brother Hugh," she cried, wringing her hands; "if ye were living, to take this scoundrel by the throat! Will he keep his word? Maybe I am mad to trust him! I must wait and wait till he's awa'. Ill sand down for ihe bairn this day! She's safer here with me!" CHAPTER XIX. IMMEDIATELY after his interview with Miss Hetherington, Caussidiere disappeared from t h e neighborhood for some days; a fact which caused Marjorie little or no concern, as she ««~d her own suspicion aa to the cause of bis absence. Her heart was greatly troubled, for she eo*ld not shake off the sense of the deception she was practicing on those moat interested in her welfare. While she was watting and debating, she received a viatt from the lady of the Castle, who drove down, post-hsste, ead stalked Into the dent extermination. Marjorie was sent cor at once, and coning down-etairs, sjeoftd Miss Hetherinctoa and Mr. sfsntettn waiting for her in the study. "It's all settled, Marjorie,** said the taapuk4ve lady. "You're to come horns with me to the Castle this very day." Marjorie started in astonishment, bat Ibefore Ihe could make any reply, Mr. iMenteith interposed. ! {'You cannot do better, my child, than accept Miss Hetherington's most generous lnvitajtion. The day after tomorrow, as you are aware, the sale will take place, and this will be no longer your home. Miss Hetherington is good snough to offer you a shelter until such/time as we can decide'about your future mode of life." ."Just so," said the lady, decisively. "Pack your things, and come awa' wl' ma in the carriage." "I know you are very kind," returned Marjorie, "and maybe you'll be thinking I'm ungrateful. Mr. Lorraine always said you were my best friend. But I cannot come with you to-day." "When, will you come?" demanded the lady. "Give me time, please," pleaded Marjorie; "In a day or two, maybeafter the sale. I should like to stay till I can stay no more." So it was settled, to Marjorie's great relief; and Mr. Mentelth led the great lady back to her carriage. At sunset that day, as Marjorie left the manse and crossed over td the old churchyard, she was accosted by John Sutherland, who had been waiting at the gate some time in expectation of her appearance. She gave him her hand sadly, and they stood together talking in the road. "They tell me you are going to stop at the Castle. Is that so, Marjorie?" "I'm not sure; maybe." "If you go, may I come to Bee you there? I shan't be long in Annandals. In a few weeks I am going back to London." He paused, as if expecting her to make some remark; but she did not speak, and her thoughts seemed far away. "Marjorie/* he continued, "I wish I could say something to comfort you in your trouble, for, though my heart is full, I can hardly find my tongue. It ! • ing up under our feet and carrying us far asunder. For the sake of old times we shall be friends still, shall we not?" "Yes, Johnnie, of course," was the reply, "You've aye been very good to me." "Because I loved you, Marjorie. Ah, don't be angry—don't turn away—for I'm not going to presume again upon 1 our old ;acquaintance. But now that \ not be written in black and white. Papers may fall into' strange hands, as you are aware, and the result might be unfortunate—for you." She shuddered and groaned as be spoke, and forthwith handed him the check. He glanced at it, folded it up, and put It In his waistcoat pocket. Then he rose to go. "As I informed you before," he said, ^you have nothing to.fsay-jfrnfffswf Mi*- only wish l a to see*re.v»u s>sod ee-J *•*** has come, our way, and all the future seems clouding, I want to say just this—that come what may, I shall never change. I'm not asking you to care for me—I'm not begging you this time to *ive me what you've maybe given to another man; but I want you to be sure, whatever happens, that you've one faithful friend at least in the world, who would die to serve you, fh> fr™rt d"nr, H* frg**ft M^mmjuf f ^ l for the aske of what you were to him lang syne." The words were so gentle, the tone so so full of melancholy sympathy and respect that Marjorie was deeply touched. "Oh, Johnnie," she said, "you know 11 have always loved you—always trusted you, as if you were my brother." "As your brother, then, let it be," answered Sutherland sadly. "I don't care what title it is, so long as it gives me the right to watch over you." To this Marjorie said nothing. She continued to walk quietly onward, and Sutherland kept by her side. Thus they passed together through ihe churchyard and came to the spot where Mr. Lorraine was at rest. Here she fell upon her knees and quietly kissed the grave. Had Sutherland been less moved by his own grief, he might have noticed something strange in the girl's manner, for she kissed the ground almost passionately, and murmured between her sobs, "Oood-by, good-b£" She was recalled to herself by Sutherland's voice. "Don't cry, Marjorie," he said. -Ah. I can't help it," she sobbed. "You are all so good to me—far better than I deserve." They left the churchyard together, and wandered back to the manse gate. When they paused again, Sutherland took her hand and kissed i t "Oood-by, Johnnie." "No, not good-by. I may come and see you again, Marjorie, mayn't I, befall of evFT^we-t*o a w a y r "Yea," she returned, "If—if you like." "And, Marjorie, maybe the next time there'll be folk by, so that we cannot speak. I want you to promise me one thing before we part this night." "What do you wish?" said Marjorie, •Jhrlnking b<Uf fearfully away. "Only thf 4, that aa youtve given me a sister's 4o*», you'll gjjejns alsa a sister's trust; I want t c think when I'nv away in tb > great city that if-you ware in trouble vou'd send right A way to Just think always. Marjorie, that Tm' your brother, aad be sure there l a s t a thing in this world I wouldn't do for you." He paused, but Marjorie did not answer; she felt she could not speak. The unselfish devotion of the young man touched her more than any of his ardent love-making had done. "Marjorie, will you promise me- " "Promise what?" "To send to me if y oof re in troubleto let me be your brott«r Indeed." She hesitated for a moment; then Bhe gave him her hand. . "Yes, Johnnie, I promise," she said. "Good-by." "No; goodnight, Marjorie." "Good-night," she repeated, as she left his side and entered the manse. About ten o'clock that night, when all the Inmates of the manse had retired to rest, and Marjorie was in her room about to prepare for bed, she was startled by hearing a sharp.shrill whistle1 frat beneath her window. She started',, trembling, sat on the side of her] bed and listened. In a few minutes the sound was repented. This time she ran to the window, opened it and put out herhead. "Who is It?" she asked softly. "Is any one there?" "Yes, Marjorie. It is I, Leon; come down!" Trembling more and more, Marjorie hurriedly closed the window, wrapped a shawl about her head and shoulders, and noiselessly descended the stairs. The next minute she was in the Frenchman's arms. He clasped her fervently to him. He kissed her again and again as he said: "To-morrow night, Marjorie, you will come to me." The girl half shrank away as she said: "So soon—ah, no!" "It iB not too soon for me, little one," returned the Frenchman, gallantly, "for I love you—ah! so much, Marjorie, and every hour seems to me a day. Listen; then: You will retire to bed to-morrow night in the usual way. When all the house is quiet and everyone asleep you will wrap yourself up in your traveling cloak and come down. You will find me waiting for you'here. Do you understand me, Marjorie?" "Yes, monsieur, I understand, but—" "But what, my love?" "I was thinking of my things. How shall I get them away?" "Parbleu!—there must be no luggage. You must leave it all behind, and bring nothing hut your own sweet self." "But," continued Marjorie, "I must have some clothes to change." "Most certainly; you shall have just as mnny as you wish, my little love. But we will leave the old attire, aa we leave the old life, behind us, I am not a poor man, Marjorie, and when you are my wife, all mine will be all yours also. You shall have as much money as you please to buy what you will. Only bring me your own sweet self, Marjorie—that will be enough." With such nstttery as this the Frenchman daszled her senses until long past midnight; then, after she had made many efforts to get away, he allowed hw-to return to the house. ' During that night Marjorie slept very little; the next day she waa pale distraught sne wandered about the house in melancholy fashion; she went up to the churchyard several times and sat for hours beside her foster- father's grave. She even cast regretful looks towards Annandals Castle, and her eyes were constantly filled with tears. At length it was all over. The day was spent; the whole household had retired, and Marjorie sat in her room alone Her head was ringing, her eyes tmrning, and her whole body trembling with mingled fear and grief—grief for the loss of those whom she must leave behind—fear for that unknown future into which she was about to plunge. She sat for a minute or so on the bed trying to collect her thoughts; then she wrote a few hurried lines, which she sealed and left on her dressing-table. After that waa done, she looked over her things, and collected together one or two trifles—little mementos of the past, which had been given to her by those she held most dear, and which were doubly precious to her. now that she was going away. She lingered m long and so lovingly over those treasures that she forgot to note how rapidly the time waa flying on. Suddenly she heard a shrill whistle, and she knew that she was lingerins; over-long. Hurriedly concealing her one or two souvenirs, she wrapped herself in her cloak, put on her hat sad a Tery thick veil, descended the stairs, and* found the Frenchman, who was waiting impatiently outside the gate. Whither they went Marjorie scarcely knew, for in the excitement of the acene.her senses almost left her. She waa conscious only of being hurried along the dark road; then of bedac seated in a carriage by the man's side. (to aa ooxTixuBD.) Sheke ^ako Xoar.

For beauty of scenery and healthfulness of locality, the "Bluft" on Portage Lake, is unsurpassed in any part of the state. The air is clear and braoing and the shade is perfect. A beautiful sheet of water made up largely of springs, is spread out before you and large enough to afford facilities for all kinds of pleasure both in and upon its waters. Several cottages have already been built upon the hillsicfe and tbe lower land adjacent to it. Tbe finest of these has been recently built by our genial triend, J. A. Cad well, where he and his estimable wife and family hope to enjoy many a pleasant cuting as the seasons go by. Saturday last, was a most enjoyable occasion. A number of their friends by invitation went out with them to enjoy the day, and such a day! It was itself an inspiration, a day long to be remembered for its associations, its pleasures and joys. Remembered too for its dinner, for seldom does one sit down to such a feast of good things, this would tempt the palate of an Epicure. All the delicacies ot the season were spread out before you and in a most inviting manner. The wants of all were here more than amply provided for, and the capacities of all were filled,—some too full for utterance, but such could dance with the assistance of the mouth-organ, or run races while our more abstemious friends could look on and laugh heartily at our waywardness, or have a general good time in many other ways (which they did.) Thus the afternoon sped away and gave place to evening's quiet shade when again we gathered around the festal board which, for variety and abundance of good things, fully equaled the noonday meal. All united in pronouncing this a most delightful occasion. With hearts full of gratitude to our kind host and hostess and with best wishes for them in all their future, we bade them adieu and left "Happy Thought Cottage" feeling that truly it was good to be there.

JONES ORDAINED TUESDAY, SEPT. 81,1897, AND IS NOW A REVEREND, The Service at the Congregational Church, Piacknej, an Impressive one. Ordination, in the life of a young pastor, is the milestone, so to speak, that he has been striving to reach, It is for this that be has burned the midnight oil; it is for it that he has labored industrously through college; and for it he has given all the energy that be possessed, that, aftei having passed successfully, he may write Rev. before his name and be known as one of "Christ's laborers." The Council which assembled at the Pinckney Ccng'l church, Tuesday afternoon and evening to ordain its popular and growing young pastor, had representatives from eight Congregational churches of the state. Rev. J, W. Bradshaw of Ann Arbor, was chosen moderator, and Rev. John W. Staley scribe. _The following delegates answered to roll call: Rev. John W. Staley and Mrs. Staley, Dexter; Rev. J. S. Edmonds and Dr. Thos. Holmes, Chelsea; Rev. B. F. Aldnch /1 and 0, B. Bradley. Ypsilanti; Rev. J. W. Bradshaw and Rev. W. E. Col well, Ann Arbor; Rev. W. C. Allen, Pontiac; Rev. N*. W. Pierce and G. L. Hull, Hamburg; Rev. E. B. Allen, Mrs. N. B. Jones and Arthur D. Baker, Lansing; Rev. J. M. Barnes, Union City. After prayer by the Moderator and the reading of the call by the scribe. Mr. Jones gave a clear statement of his religions experience, belief and call to the nKaietry. His paper was very interesting indeed, and the testimony in regard to the influence of praying parents and the memory of the learning "Now I lay me" were very touching and brought tears to many eyes. His experience was given from infancy to childhood, to school, to college and to the ministery and was very clear and definite. So thoroughly had be covered the ground and so satisfactory were bis statements that the council were not long in secret session before they declared themselves satisfied and unamiously in favor of proceeding with the In niakTu^youFFall and winter selections, placegreat stress | ordtnatiea- and—the -alt©jLn^o_n_s^8sion_ F.

F. e. MSOD took a recess until 7:30. EVENING SESSION A large audienoe was present at the evening service and the program was a very solemn and impressive one— the songs sung, the prayer, sermon and charges to the pastor and people were each calculated to make a lasting impression, not only upon the young pastor but upon the people. After a brief opening service, Rev. J. W. Bradshaw of Ann Arbor preached a very excellent sermon, full of thoughts and suggestions taking as his text: 1st Cor., 4; 1. "Let a man so account of ue, as of tb« ministars of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.'' and 1st Thess., 2, 4. "But aa we were allowed of God to be put in traBt with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth oar beam." Paul was given as a model preacher bat all eould not he like Paul, though all preachers must have the same motive power, namely, God's power. Ministers must be experimentally qualified—they MUST KNOW whereof they speak—must know the.power of the gospel in his own soul—tnust give up self to God, to be moulded as he would mould him—must nourish himself on. the Word before ha can feed others. Perhaps the most impgeeaure the evening's ceremony was the ordaining prayer by Rev. J, W.

Brutal Murder of an Ionia County Voteran for 111« Money—Newly Married Michigan Couple Attempts Sojelda at Milwaukee—The Husband Dead, An Old Vetera* Murdered for Money. An old soldier, named Ludwlg Herman, who lived alone 7 miles north of Ionia, in Orleans township, went to Ionia and drewihis pension money, $24, Or three months' pay. He spent it freely, and exhibited bills at several Of the Ionia saloons. He was last seen i t 11:30 p. m. in an intoxicated condition trying to get into the American hotel. He was not admitted, however, and it is supposed that he started down the D , G. K. & W. tracks for his home. At 7 o'clock the next morning Isaac Waite, a neighbor,ecalled at Herman's home and finding the back door open walked in, but was suddenly stopped by a horrible sight Herman lay on the floor beside the bed cold in death, dressed only iu his undershirt and drawers. He had hung up his clothes and was apparently about to get into bed. His skull was crashed the width of three fingers in the back of the bead and just above the neck back of the right ear was a gunshot wound, the hole being the size of the muzzle of the gun. The weapon which inflicted the first wound was an iron bar 18 Inches long which Herman used in his workshop in making cane chairs. Herman kept his gun standing at the head of his bed. This the murderer had evidently grabbed and fired one cartridge at so close range that the flesh was burned. The shot went clear through Herman's head and lodged under the skin over his eyes. Whether Herman had more than the pension money is not known. All his papers were searched and strewn about tbe house. His watch and 13 cents in money were found in his room. Herman was 69 years of age and had separated from * his • wife, whd, with three daughters and one son, live at Zee land. GOT. Flagree's Appointment*. Gov.

Three houses were broken into early in the evening in the outskirts of Hudson, and then David Way discovered the burglar leaving his house.

Five men—-Lyle Levi, Bert Andrews, Clifford Gordon, William Jenkins and Miner Shuler—who have long been a terror to the citizens of Ripley county, Ind., met their death at the hands of an enraged populace, and at an early morning hour the citizens of Versailles, discovered the bodies of the men dangling from the limbs of an elm tree in the center of the pub.Ho- square. Stoat ropes, not over six feet in length, had served to send each to his eternity, and their feet were "but a few inches from the ground, while their hands and feet had been securely pinioned with strong ropes ^x These five men were captured by the sheriff and deputies while burglarising the store of Woolley Bros., at Correct, Ind., and were lodged in jaiL For four or five years, and even longer, the farmers of the county have been the victims of a lawless gang, who, apparently lacking in fear, have plied their vocation to the terror of the people. Men have been knocked senseless on the highway and robbed, aged couples have been horribly tortured in order to make them reveal the hiding place of their money and minor depredations have been of frequent occurrence, but the perpetrators were seldom captured. So when these men, who had no visible means of support, were caught red-handed the farmers of the country quietly organized and 400 strong marched upon the -{ail at Versailles and with little resistance meted out a punishment greater than the law provides. They say they want four or five more to take the same dose. None of the citizens of the town seem to deplore the action of the mob. Qflr. Mount Was Horrified. Gov. Mount has sent the following to the sheriff of Ripley county: "Wire me at once the particulars of lynching that has occurred in your county. I further direct that you proceed immediately with all the power you can command to bring to justice all parties guilty of participation in the murder of the five men lynched. Such lawlessness is intolerable aad all the power of the state, if necessary, will be vigorouslv employed for the arreBt and punishment of all parties implicated." MINERS' STRIKE SETTLED. Interstate Convention Aeeepls ea-Ceat Bate Proposed by Operator*. A four days' session of the interstate convention of soft coal miners, held-at- - Columbus, 0., agreed to accept the proposition of the operators of the Pitteburg district Thus the great miners' strike which was declared on July 4 was practically brought to an end, so far, at least, as western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia are concerned. The delegates from Illinois, who had 250 votes, were unanimously against a settlement Indiana aiid-AVest^Vij^inia^volfid_6olidly to accept the operators' proposition. The resolution adopted is as follows: "Resolved, That we, the miners of Pennsylvania. West Virginia, Ohio. Ih~ diana and Illinois in convention assembled, do hereby agree to accept the proposition recommended by our national executive committee, viz., 65 cents in Pittsburg district, all places in above named states where a relative price can be obtained to resume work and contribute liberally to the miners. who do not receive the advance, where the fight must be continued to the bitter finish." The Illinois miners denounce the action of the convention, claiming that their interests were not given due consideration. They will, therefore, hold a state convention at Springfield, Sept 19, to determine what shall be done in their state. Yellow Favor Epidemic Grows. The official dispatches to the U. S. surgeon-general show the yellow fever situation in the south to be more serious. Dr. Guiteras, the government expert, reported a case of yellow fever at the city hospital at Mobile, Ala., also four other cases, and added that he apprehended a serious outbreak. Surgeon Carter telegraphed from Ocean Springs that four cases of yellow fever existed at 'Berkley, that there had been eight cases known to be yellow fever at Ocean Springs and that two exposed physicians were at Vaneleave and Scranton, practically under guard. The ninth case has been reported s t New Orleans, but the prompt action of the authorities to prevent a n epidemio by thorough sanitary measures taken without regard to expense relieves the public mind a great deal. But the principal cities of the south are not so essily satisfied and rigid quarantine is being maintained against N e w Orleans. Jackson, Miss, Is all excitement over tbe presence of 30 cases of dengue fever at Edwards, 25 miles away, and people are fleeing from the district in all directions.

Reports run from 15 to 30 odd killed and 40 or more wouuded. The strikers left Haaelton at 3:30 p. m. announcing their l n i e n i i o n ^ ' g o to Latimer to ball out the miner* there. As aoon as this became known, 70 deputies were loaded on a trolley car and went whirling across the mountain to the scene, where they formed into three companies across the rosd by which the miners were marching to Latimer. Sheriff Martin was & entire command and stood in the front of the line until the strikers approached. They wera eeen, coming ,Mros% the ridge and Ipartin w e s t to meet them. The men drew up sullenly and listened in silence. tintil he had 'reaoTlhs riot s e t This1-fluishea, a low mattering arose among the foreigners and there was a slight " movement forward. Perceiving thU,Jfee sheriff stepped toward them, and in a determined tone forbade their ad« vancing farther. Someotfe struck the sheriff and the next moment he gave a command to the deputies to fire. the guns of the deputies instantly belched forth a terrible volley. The report seemed to shake the very mountains. The strikers were taken, entirely by surprise, and as the men toppled and fell over each other, those who remained unhurt stampeded. The men went down, before the a^orm of bullets like tenpins and the groans of the dying and wounded filled the the air. The excitement that followed was simply indescribable. The deputies seemed to be terror-stricken at the deadly execution of their guns. The people.of Latfmer rushed pell-mell t o the scene and as soon as possible cared for the wounded .who had nQt been carried off by their friends. Later.—A careful count ah own1 that 11 strikers were instantly killed by the deputies, 10 died -within . a short time from their wounds and five more lingered at the point of death with no hope for necpyery. There, are nearly 50 others wounded who will recover, but some will be maimed for life. There were 150 strikers in the marching column, ;not one ,of -whom was armed with more than a penknife, and these peaceable, defenseless men 102 deputies, armed to the teeth, shot down like dogs at a very slight provo^ cation. In .fact -examination of the dead and wounded strikers reveals the fact that.many of them were were shot in the back, which show's thai the deputies must have poured volley after volley.in to the ranks of the men when they were fleeing down the road. Yet even in their death thej>oor fellows ac^' complished the purpose for which they marched from Hazleton to Latimer, for the 1,500 miners at Latimer have laid down their tools and sworn to dtf no more w«#k. up^l all the demands of the men at all the mines in the district have been conceded. Martial JLaw at Hasleton. Immediately after the awful tragedy Sheriff Martin called -npon Gov. Hastings for troops and before 24 hours had elapsed 2,500 soldiers of the Pennsylvania National Guard were at the scene under command of Gen. Gobin. The general at once issuedr^orders prohibiting marching or assembling of large Of bodies of men along the roads and practically placed Hazleton and vicinity under martial law. Sheriff Martin had, in the meantime, fled to Wilkesbarre for safety, but returned after the troops had taken charge of affairs and he and his deputies sought refuge within the military lines to avoid arrest upon charges' .of murder, assault and battery, and threatening to kill, which were preferred by friends of the dead strikers. The strikers deckled to preserve absolute quiet until after -the burial of their friends and they kept their Word. A serious conflict ia feared now, however. It is expected that 7,000 miners will now join the striker* and feeling against Sheriff Martin and his deputies grows e ve ry hou r. Ohio Gold Democrats.

I also have 30 head of horses, 35 head of thoroughbred Hereford cattle and 100 head of thorougbbred^Poland- China hogs, some 8 or 10 of them costing me $110 each. I also have city property to the amount of over $3,000, and some $3,000 or more of personal property, besides several thousand bushels of corn and gram. I have made It a point to feed all I raise. I do not believe I have sold over a thousands buehelB of corn since I have lived in the state. While we have had a few short crops, we have never had a total failure.

Of course, the Vernon was a fine ship, like all the rest of that line, but rhe was never meant to be a flyer, so that the owners and the builders and some other folks were a good deal surprised al '-he run she made. As a matter of fact, the Vernon ran a race that time, an) the prise was a woman. Thore is a song, or something of the sort, which says: "What fools these mortals be." That is a petrified fact. Jim Fairbairji was the skipper of the Mount Version and I was chief engineer\ jw*e were chums — had been chums for years—but our ehumminess wasn't a patch on the friendship between Jim and Tom Orchardson. I often wondered how two such opposite characters could get along together. Orchardson bad immense confidence In himself, and was a bit of a bounder, in my opinion; he prided himself on being a practical man. Falrbalrn was a good deal of a dreamer, and he wrote poetry sometimes. Somehow, they nearly always managed to Bail in the same ship, but about two years before the race I am coming to Orchardson had got a ohance of a skipper's berth in the Barl line, and he jumped at the chance. He got on well, and was appointed to the command of a brand new steamer, the Earl Lennox, just at the same time Fairbairn got the Mount Vernon. Both vessels were loaded at Liverpool for Melbourne, but the Earls all go by the Suez canal, while we—the Mounts, I mean—usually go by the cape, Well„ the blue peter was flying when Jim Fairbairn worked off his grievance on me, and a powerful funk he was in. It seems that he and Orchardson had fallen head over ears in love with the same girl, a Miss Mary Henderson, who lived in Govan, a great place for ship-building, as- most folks know. Now, our two jolly skippers had skipped off to Scotland and interviewed the girl, and she, being unable to make up her mind as to which she preferred, had thrown out the hint that they should settle the matter by a race to Melbourne. Just picture to yourself the audacity of the proposal! A chit of a girl calmly suggests that two big steamships, 4,000-tonners, should be driven like Old Harry to the Antipodes for her sweet sake! Shows you what women are, and it shows you what men in love are when I tell you that both skippers took up the challenge as readily as a healthy boy takes to mischief. I smelted a ratjwhen Fairbairn reeled off this yarn. I pointed out to him that on the outward run you might gain as1 many as four days by taking the canal route, so the result of the race was a foregone conclusion. He assured me, Fairbairn, because I wag too much taken up with my englneC I noticed, hcjrerer, that he was a deal moodier then usual. About the twenty-fifth day out the fine spell of weather ended, w d , of course, the strata OB the engines became something worth shivering at. I dldnt like It, hut it teemed to me that w# would just have to he content with a draw—if even that could he g o t My mates, I know, thought the skipper and I a pair of blessed madmen on account of the pace. I went and put the case to Fairbairn; I said the engines would go to pieces If we didn't ease the strain a bit, and I asked if the woman was worth the risk. He asked me who on earth eared what happened to the engines or the ship, either; he was going to be in Melbourne or a hotter place before the 10th of the month, he was. I sheered off. Next day the skipper was laid up—> doctor said he was feverish and terribly excited about something or other, and dosed him with cooling powders and things. This was. the twenty-seventh day out. On the twenty-ninth day out—that Is to say, the 8th of the month—I was sent to the captain's room. "Bob," says he, "I've been thinking. You asked me, 'Was the woman worth the rlskr She's worth any risk I could run myself—she's worth more than a risk; she's worth a sacrifice. I know she loves Tom better than me, and I was mad to try to steal her from him. Slow* down whenever you like. I'm not in it now, I'm " He fainted thereabout, and I left him in charge of the doctor. I must confess I felt like swearing at the idea ot such an end to all our worries, but I didn't slow down. We couldn't have gone any slower in the face of the gale in our teeth. It was midnight of the twentyninth day out when we passed the Heads inward, and it was fully thirtysix hours later that the Earl Lennox did ditto. Taking our time allowance into account, as we were quite entitled torwe had won the race by ihree_and a half days. & ^ SHE'S WORTH ANY RISK I COUIJ> RUN MYSELF. By this time Fairbairn was Quite off his chump with some sort of brain fever, and he had a three weeks' spell in hospital. He pulled around all right, however, and was aboard bossing things long before we were ready to start home. All this time he kept quiet about Miss Henderson, and I hated to mention the race at all; but the afternoon before we quitted Melbourne I got enlightened. I was dining along with the two captains and Orchardson had juBt drunk my health and said a great many nice things about how I had worked my engines up to the knocker, when Jim proposed another toast—to the "memory of Mary" It was; "She ia,not dead," he said, winking to me quite cheerfully; "she is not dead, but she has gone before. As old Solpmon has remarked, the battle is not to the strong^ neither is the race always to the swift—at least, the prise is not. Three days after we left port our late beloved was quietly married to a little draper chap who could drink the lot of us blind. Here's to him!" I said I was a tee-tee-totally somethinged. It was all I could say.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat yet in some places a large proportion- "*"1 of all children born die of that dis ease. That it results from causes which are preventable are shown by several facts: (1) Among the higher classes of people the mortality is very much leas than among the less intelligent and less provident (2) Infants who are nourished only by mother's, milk are almost wholly exempt from cholera infantum.

If we were at Melbourne even two days after the "Earl Lennox" we should be held to have won, I argued with the man. I pointed oat to him—what he knew already— that the Mount Vernon was never meant to be an ocean greyhound, and that it would just be courting a bad break down to rush her engines on the first trio. It was no good. He begged and prayed me to stand by him, and I was on the point of giving him a grudging half-promise to do MO when Orchardson himself made aae just wild to be at him. Orchardson came aboard to bid Fairbairn "au revoir," anyi he was so dead sure of his own victory that he invited me to the wedding. As I have said, I didn't like him much, and made up my mind to put a spoke in his wheel if at all possible. Next day both steamers started with the same tide. Nothing particular happened for over three weeks. The Vernon had settled down into a beautiful swing, the weather was good, and I was confident we •mould get there in good time.

The great cause of infant mortality is largely due to ignorance and carelessness on the part of those who have the care of children.

Winslow, P. 0., Ontario, Sept. 16, '97. F U I E N D ANDREWS: I n compliance with your request to write you in regard to what I might notice during my trip through Ontario, 1 have noted a little about the laud and products that may be of use to you. The route we followed was southeast from The village of Ancaster stands ou the top of the mountain overlooking Hamilton and from the village to the city there is seven miles of "stone road" winding down the mountain side, there being places where the road-bed has been cut on one side fully 35 feet into solid limestone. On the opposite side from the rock wall will be an abrupt descent for a couple hundred feet. All along the road are stone quarries and it seems as though the entire mountain must be nothing but solid rock. Beyond the city of Hamilton to ^the south and on the side of the mountain itself is a great fruit belt. Peach trees, breaking under their load, were a common sight and the fruit was given to all who chose to come and take it. Twelve miles of the road was lined on both sides in this way while off to the north in a distance lay the city of Hamilton and beyond that the blue waters of the lake stretched out of sight. Then we left the fine scenery (and what was far harder to part WHEAT BEANS § A to Dress "Windsor, along the shore of Lake Erie, then northeast, through! with—the peaches) and bumped Eidgetown, London and Brant- j along"over rough clay roads, seeing the people just leaving the Smithvillc fair, and at last bringing up here at Winslow for a few days before going on to the falls. B I K E R . With the chilly days of autumn, come the thoughts that the colder days of winter are fast approaching, and a heavy suit or overcoat will be needed. We can supply you with one or both perfectly made to your measure for the very low price of ford to Hamilton, on the shore of Lake Ontario. The crops along the road, according to theNstatements of the farmers,, were better thaj^^u^ual. Commencing at Windsor and going southeast, the soil is rather heavy, and corn, judging from a Michigan standard, was poor, but there was not much of it to see, for the most common crops seemed to be cloverseed and beans. This may seem a strange combination, as many have claimed it impossible to raise clover on ground that has been1 used for beans. Further to the northeast, the acreage of corn diminished still more and peas seemed to take its place, being used, T Was told, for hog feed instead of corn. The ploughing is all done in nanow "lauds" from 12 to 20 feet across, leaving fh~e" dead furrow open to drain off surplus water. Everywhere, in light and heavy soils, I saw disc harrows used, in fact during the entire ride I did not see It Saies the Croupy Children. Seaview, Ya.—We have a splendid sale on Chamberlains Cough Remedy and our cusiomers coming from far and near, speak of it in higest terms.

Oh the way we were shown what the implement dealer called a "cheap carriage'1 the price of it being $70. The good . grade of carriages sold at from $100 to $120. At different places along the road, nails and staples were selling at 3¾ to 6c abound. Poor, in fact very poor kerosine oil sold a t from 13 to 20c per gallon, while * many other common things sold • a t about the same ratio. I did . a%ot wonder when I heard the farmers grumbling at the hard times. These prices I have given for the benefit of several who asked me to examine into the actual cost of necessaries and I have obtained them all from the purchaser or the merchant himself, < while I had the article in-sight. The roads through the country are splendid. For 80 miles out of Windsor there is not-a hill or an obstruction that would make it necessary for one to dismount from a wheel while fully 20 miles of that road runs within sight of Lake Erie, and through a splendid farming country making as pleasant a ride as one could wish.

One of the benefits conferi1 ed by the- new tariff law is to make these frauds Impossible, and consequently to do away with an expression that never should have been used. There is no genteel thieving, cmrglary or law-breaking of any sort, and there never was any "genteel smuggling." The importation of sugar in July was only about one-third that for June, the last full month before the enactment of the new tariff law. The total Imports in July amounted to 178,004,- 060. pounds of raw sugar, valued at $4,- 162,24$. In June there were 708,552,- 496 pounds of raw sugar Imported, valued at $13,889,860.

According to a letter frosjt Changsha, ft, is reported that, apparently acknowledging the value of the telegraphs and that they will not be allowed to interfere with the people's graves and the private property of the gentry and literaO, the construction of the line has been going on rapidly, without the allgb/fitt hindrance on the part of the inhabitants of the province.

F we leave to the evolutionists to guess where wo came from and to the theologians to prophesy where we are going to, we still have left for consideration the Important fact that we are here. There may be some doubt •bout where the river rises, and some doubt about where the river empties, but there can be no doubt about the fact that we are sailing on it So I am not surprised that everybody asks the question, "Is life worth living?" Solomon in his unhappy moments, says it U not "Vanity," "vexation of spirit," "no good," are his estimate. The fact is that Solomon was at one time a polygamist, and that soured his disposition. One wife makes a man happy; more than one makes him WTetched. But Solomon was converted from polygamy to monogamy, and the last words he ever wrote, as far as we can read them, were the words "mountains of spices." But Jeremiah says life is worth living. In a book supposed to be doleful, and lugubrious, and sepulchral, and entitled "Lamentations," he plainly intimates that the blessing of merely living is so great and grand a blessing that though a man have piled on him all misfortunes and disasters he has no right to complain. The ancient prophet cries out In startling intonation to all lands and to all centuries, "Wherefore doth a livingman complain?" A diversity of opinion In our time as well as in olden time. Here is a young man of light hair and blue eyes and sound digestion, and generous salary, and happily affianced, and on the way to become a partner in a commercial Arm of which he is an important clerk. Ask him whether life is worth living. He will laugh in your face and say, "Yes, yes, yes!" Here is a man who has come to the forties. He Is at the tip-top of the hill of life. Every step has been a stumble and a braise. The people he trusted have turned out deserters, and money ho has honestly made he has been cheated out of. His nerves are out of tune*v.He has poor appetite, and the 4ood he does eat does not assimilate. Forty miles climbing up the hill of life have been to him like climbing the Hatterhorn, and there are forty mlles^ yet to go down, and descent Is always more dangerous than aecenU Ask him whether life is worth living* and he will drawl out to shivering and lugubrious and appalling negative, ^k>, no, How are we to decide the matter righteously and intelligently t Tou will find the same man vacillating^ oscillating in his opinion from dejection to exuberance, and if he be very mercurial in his temperament it will depend very much on which way the wind blows. (If the wind blows from the northwest and you ask him, he Into thtlr heart, into their lungs, into their spleen, into their liver, into their bones. Chemists > have sometimes analysed the human body, and they say It is so much magnesia, so snuch lime, so much chlorate of potassium. If some Chetstlan chemist would analyse one of these^ financial behemoths he would find he was made up of copper, and gold, and silver, and sine and lead, and coal, and iron. That is not a life worth living. There are too many earthquakes in K, too many agonies in it, too many perditions in it. Tb*7 build their castles, and they open their picture galleries, and they summon prima donnas, and they offer every inducement for happiness to come and live there, hut happiness will not come. They send footmanned and postlllioned equipage to bring her; she will not ride to their door. They send princely escort; she will not take their arm. They make their gateways triumphal arches; she will not ride under them. They set a golden throne before a golden plate; she turns away from the banquet They call to her from upholstered balcony; she will not listen. Mark you, this Is the failure of those who have had, large accumulation. And then you must take into consideration that the vast majority of those who make the dominant idea of life money getting, fall far short of affluence. It Is estimated that only about two out of a hundred business men have anything worthy the name of success. A man who spends his life with the one dominant Idea of financial accumulation spends a life not worth living. So the idea of wordly approval. If that be dominant in a man's life he Is miserable^Every four years the two most unfortunate men in this country are the two men nominated for the presidency. The reservoirs of abuse, and diatribe, and malediction gradually fill up, gallon above gallon, hogshead above hogshead, and about midsummer these two reservoirs will be brimming full, and a hose will be at- Xached7~to each one, and It will play away on these nominees, and they will have to stand it, and take the abuse,and the falsehood, and the caricature, and the anathema, and the caterwauling, and the filth, and they will be rolled in it and rolled over and over in it until they are choked and submerged, and strangulated, and at every sign of returning consciousness they will be barked at by the hounds of political parties from ocean to ocean. And yet there are a hundred men today struggling for that privilege, and there are thousands of men who are helping them in the struggle. Now, that is not a life worth living. You can get slandered and abused cheaper than that! Take it on a smaller scale. Do not be so ambitious to have a whole reservoir rolled over on you. But what you see in the matter of high political preferment you see in every community in the struggle for what is called social position. Tens of thousands of people trying to get into that realm, and they are under terrific tension. What is social position? It is a difficult thing to define, but we all know what it is. Good morals and intelligence are not necessary, but wealth, or a show of wealth, Is absolutely indispensable. There are men today as notorious for their libertinism a* tlte-night is famous for its-darkness four boys and two grrla. Small farm Very rough, hard work to coax a livlng out of it. Mighty tug to make two ends of the year meet The boys go tv school in winter and work the fang ta, summer. Mother is the chief presi< spirit. With her hands the knits the stockings for the Uttle feet; an she is the mantuamaker for tfee boys, and she ie the milliner for the girls. There U only one tausjosjl instrument In the house~>tht spinning-wheel. The food la very plain, but it is always well provided. The winters are very cold, but are kejft out.by th* blankets she quilted. On Sunday, when she appears in the village church, her children around her, the minister looks down, and is reminded of the Bible description of a good housewife—"Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he pralaeth her." Some years go by, and the two oldest boys want a collegiate education, and the household economies are severer, and the calculations are closer, and until those two1 boys get their education there is a hard battle for bread. One of these boys enters the university, stands In a pulpit widely influential, and preaches righteousness, judgment, and temperance, and thousands during his ministry are blessed. The othor lad who got the collegiate education, goes Into the law, and thence into legislative halls, and after a while be commands listening Senates as he makes a plea for the downtrodden and the outcast. One of the younger boys becomes a merchant, starting at the foot of the ladder but climbing on up until his success and his philanthropies are recognized all over the land. The other eon stays at home because he prefers farming life, and then he thinks he will be able to take care of father and mother when they get old. Of the two daughters: when the war broke out one went through the hospitals of Pittsburg Landing and Fortress Monroe, cheering up the dying and the homesick, and taking the last message to kindred far away, so that j-aver^—time-ghrist thought of her, he will say, "Yea?' and if it blow from^e" [city blocks. You ought to see them fin the same business. Do you not see northeast and you ask him he will say, "No." How are we then to get the question righteously answered? Suppose we call all nations together in a great convention on eastern or western hemisphere, and let all those who are in the affirmative say "Aye/1 and all those who are in the negative say "No." While there would be hundreds of thousands who would answer In the affirmative, there would be nxajft minions who would answer in the nsjsjsUin, and because of ihe greater number who' have sorrow, and misfortune, and trouble, the "Noes"would have it. Jhe answer I shall give will be different from either, and yet it will commend itself to all who hear me this day as <he'Tight answer. - If you ask me, "Is life worth living?" I answer, It all depends upon the kind of life you live. , In the first place, I remark that a life fj of mere money getting is always a failure, because you will never get as much as you want. The poorest people in this country are the millionaires. There Is not a scissors grinder on the streets of New York or Brooklyn who is so anxious to make money as these men who have piled up fortunes year after year in storehouses, in government securities, in tenement houses, in whole who move in what is called high social position. There are hundreds of out | and-out rakes la—American- society, | whose names are mentioned among the distinguished guests at the great levees. They have annexed all the known vices and are longing for other worlds of diabolism to conquer. Good morals are not necessary in many of the exalted circles of society. Neither is intelligence necessary. You find in that realm men who would not know an adverb from an adjective if they met it a hundred times in a day, and who could not write a letter of acceptance or regrets without the aid of a secretary. They buy their libraries by the square yard, only anxjump when they hear the fira bell ring. You ought to see them in tneir excitement when a bank explodes. You ought to eee their agitation when there is proposed a reformation in the tariff. Their nerves tremble like harp strings, but no music in—the vibration. They read the reports from Wall street in the morning wiC a concernment that threatens pafalysia or apoplexy, or, more probably, they have a telegraph or a telephone In their own house, so they catch every breath of change-in iftie money market The disease of aclunPtlation has eaten into them eaten ignorance is positively sublime, making English grammar almost disreputable. And yet the finest parlors open before them. Good morals and intelligence are not necessary, but wealth or a show of wealth, is positively Indispensable. It does not make any difference how you got your wealth, if you only got it. The best way for you to get into social position is for you to buy a large amount on credit, then put your property in JTOUT wife's name, have a few preferred creditors, and then make an assignment. Then disappear from the community until the breeze is over, and come back and start and mother." The other daughter has a bright home of her own, and in the afternoon—the forenoon, having been devoted to her household—she goes forth to hunt up the sick and to encourage the discouraged, leaving smiles and benediction all along the way. But one day there start five telegrams from the village for these five absent ones, saying: "Come, mother is dangerously ill." But before they can be ready to start, they receive another telegram, saying: "Come, mother is dead." The old neighbors gather in the old farmhouse to do the last offices of respect. But as that farming son, and the clergyman, and. the senator, and the merchant, and the two daughters stand by the casket of the dead mother taking the last look, or lifting their. Uttle. children to see once more. the face of dear.old grandma, I want to ask that group around the casket one question: "Dp you really think her life was worth living?" A life for God, a life for others, a life of unselfishness, a useful Mfe, a Christian life is always worth living. I would not find it hard to persuade you that the poor lad, Peter Cooper, making glue for a living, and then amassing a great fortune until he could build a philanthropy which has had its echo in ten thousand philanthropies all over the country—I would not find it hard to persuade you jbat hjs life was worth living. Neither would I find it hard to persuade you that the life of Susannah Wesley was worth living. She sent out one son to organize Methodism and the other son to ring his anthems all through the ages. I would not find it hard work to persuade you that the life of Frances Leere was worth living, as she. established in England a school for the scientific nursing of the sick, and then when the war broke out between France and Germany went to the front, and with her own hands scraped the mud off the bodies of the soldiers dying in the NEWSY COMPENSATIONS.

Misses Harriett and Matilda Sheldon, aged 82 and 86 respectively, were cooking with a kerosene stove, at New Haren, Conn., when it tipped over and the oil ran out and ignited and communicated to Matilda's clothes.

The oarrmge left the highway, and rambled an the causeway of the etreeia. About a au*rter~of an horn* later it drew up in front at the railway station; All waa-very suiet and gloomy. The only human being visible was a solitary railway porter. Qanaaidiere leaped out "At what hour passes the express for the eetoth?" he demanded. -At half-paat twelve, air.

On reaching the platferm, Marjorie caat a frightened look around, dreading to behold some familiar face; bat, beyond a couple of half-tipsjr commercial for the south, no one was risible. A little later the two were seated alone In a ftrat-claas carriage and rapidly whirling southward. The train ran right through to Carlisle, where they alighted. Halting a fly, they were driven to an inn, already familiar to Causskttere, in an obscure part of the town. They were evidently expected, and the hostess had prepared separate room*. After a light ampper, of which Marjorie scarcely partook, but which the Fiemehman made festive with a bottle of very bad champagne, they parted for the night **eod-oi«ht, my darling," said Oauaaidlere, fondly.

At early morning her absence had been discovered, and to make assurance doubly sure, the following note Had been found lying open on her dressing- table: "Dear Mr. Menteith—When you receive thm, I shall be far away. I have gone with one who love* me very much, and to a tew hours we shall b r marriad.

In the limits of a small Scotch village news of any kind soon spreads, and before mid-day Marjorle's elopement was being discussed everywhere. Presently John Sutherland appeared at the manse, looking pale a* death. On questioning Mr.'Menteith, he soon learned the whole state of affairs. Mr. Menteith handed him Marjorie's letter. He read i t and his eyes filled with tears. 'Hay Ood deal with him as he deals with her!" he groaned. "Does Miss Hejheripgtou know what ha* happened?" , "Not yet" replied Mr. Menteith. "I will go to her at once," cried Sutherland. "It 1* right that she should know. Perhaps she can advise us what 4» do." Breathless and wild, he arrived at the Oaetle door. Directly he had summoned the serving-woman, he discovered that, the news had arrived before him. "She's like a wild creature," said the servant. "I'm in dread to face her, and she's ordered oot the carriage, and will drive awa' at once. If ye must see her, gang In yersel'; I dsurna announce your eomingl" Sutherland stepped into the hall. •"Whoeshtr' whispered the woman. "I hear her coming doon the stair."

"Is It true?" she cried, gripping Sutherland's arm. "Yes, Mies Hetherington." "Merjorte Annan has left the manse ?*? 'Tes, last night." "And in that scoundrel** company?" ~l believe so; but in her letter she mentions no name." •Her letter? What letter?" Sutherland thereupon told her of the Hues Marjorie had left for Mr. Menteith. She listened trcmvttng; then seising the young man's arm again, she drew him into the drawing-room and closed the door. -£ "Let me think, let me think!" she cried, sinking into a chair, "and covering her face with her hand. When she looked up. her eyes were full of tears. "She's a lost lassie! And I might have saved her had I known! Oh, Marjorie, Marjorie! My brother's curse has come home to us both at last!"

How long she remained there she did not know; a hand laid gently upon her shoulder recalled her to herself, and looking up she saw her lover. "Come, Marjorie," he said; "some, my love." She rose from her knees; he put has arms about her and led her away. What followed seemed like a dream. She was only dimly conscious of walking up the broad aisle and taking her place before the altar rails. She saw a* in a mist the clergyman in his white robe, and a man and a woman who were complete strangers. She was conscious of the service being read, of giving her response*, of her hands being el«*ped, and of a ring being put upon her finger. Then she was led away again; she was in a strange^room, nh* signed her name, and a* she laid down the pen, Cauesldiere clasped her in hi* arms and kissed her. "My wifer he said.

On Friday evening last at about 6 o'clock many of the citizens of this place heard a terrible crash in the northern part of town and it being just train time, it did not take tbem long to make up their mind that there must have been trouble on the lailroad, as such it proved to be. It took but a few moments for the news to spread and in short time everyone who could went over and viewed the wreck, as it was the first that has occured here. Just who is to blame is not settled yet, if there is any blame attached anywhere. The mail, going east had taken on passengers and started to pull out and back in onto the switch, but before they could get there tne freight came in, running at a good speed. The engineer on the mail saw that there was evidently going to be a -eolUMonr-aner-irererse^nrs engine so that the force was partly broken, and the damage was not so great as it would have been. As it was, both engines were badly smashed and the trucks of the freight engine were thrown from the track. It was a lively scene there for a oouple of hours but everything was cleared up, the engines repaired as Well as could be aod each engineer pulled bis train to the end of the line with the less of only about three hours. The matter of blame will be investigated. J. H. McCorab our machinist at this place assisted in repairing the engines and the trainmen were very satisfied with his work. A FABWELL SURPRISE.

Interesting New* About the Cuban War The Paris Temps publishes a dispatch from San Sebastian, Spain, to the effect that in an interview with the duke of Tetuan, the Spanish minister of foreign affairs, the U. S. minister to Spain, Geu, Stewart L. Woodford, made a statement of the great injuries commerce and industry had suffered in the United St;iU-s through the prolongation of the Cuban war, and added that Secretary of State Sherman had desired him to declare to the Spauish government that it was evidently impossible for Spain to end the rebellion in a reasonable time and, farther, that if the war was continued, Cuba would be devastated and of no utility to Spain or to the Cubans. In conclusion the U. S. minister is said to have insisted courteously, but firmly upon the necessity of ending the war, declaring that if it was uot terminated by the end of October the United Stivtes would feel justified in taking measures to secure the independence of Cuba The duke of Tetuan protested against the alleged American "pretensions," and said he would reply officially to the United States minister when the Spanish court returns to Madrid. Madrid: In official circles here the ^tlgcr** greatest secreey is maintained regarding the United States' ultimatum, which is looked upon as bound to cause a great sensation in Europe and to have the greatest consequences for Spain. Washington: The state department says that Gen. Woodford has not delivered to Spain an ultimatum from the United States regarding Cuba, and setting-a tinae-lorJtheiilQse-OOhe war, but simply marie a statement of our deep interest in a settlement of the Cuban war as a reasonable explanation for intervening in any manner at this time. Bis Filibuster Expedition* Reach Cuba. Information has been received of the safe landing in different parts of Cuba of three big expeditions—the most important that had been dispatched since last winter. The three ships carried a large quantity of dynamite and other munitions of war, together with an immense supply of medicines for the army of the patriots. In all, there were over 40 men on board, going either to join the Cuban army for the first time or returning to the ranks. There were two doctors and two dentists. ttrltUh Defeated With Heavy Simla, India: The Socoud brigade of the Mohmand puntttve force, eoromsnded by Gen. Jeffreys, reached the foot of the Ravvat pass and during the night the British troops were attacked by the enemy, who kept up a heavy fire for six hours. Lleuts. Tomkins and Bailey were killed; Lieut, llarriugton was dangerously wounded, two privates were killed and five wounded, and 85 horses and mules were killed. The next day the brigade moved out to attack the Mohmands and punish them. They were found entrenched on the hills and were gallantly attacked^ Heavy fightiug followed aud the British forces were finally compelled to retire to Camp Anayat with a loss of 140 killed ana wounded, including Lieuts. Iluges and Crawford among the dead. M O R S Y - L L O < V F.EV.SR. -Trouble a* British Drive ftfohmands Back. The day following the defeat of the British near Camp Anayat by the tribesmen Gen. Jeffrey's brigade again moved to a^taolt them in their en- —trenchraents and after a desperate resistance drove the in back into the hilla The British demolished their towers and captured 400 mule-loads of supplies. As soon as the troops began to retire from the village the enemy reappeared in force. The retirement, however was effected with great precision, the native troops behaving splendidly. It was learned that during the previous fight the Mohmands' loss was very heavy. The lower Mohmauds, south of Peshawur, have submitted aud have agreed to pay a heavy tine and to surrender their arms. Con.-Gen. Lee on the Cuban situation. Consul-GeneralK Lee, who is at his home in Virginia on a brief leave of absence, held a long conference with President MeKinley and Secretary Alger in which he gave an extensive report of the situation in Cuba. Gen. Lee declined to state what the nature of his recommendations were or what were the feelings expressed by the President on the subject. It is evident, however, that the President is deeply impressed with the character of the situation in Cuba as described by Gen. Lee, as it is understood that at the conference he strongly urged Consul- Gen. Lee to retain his office, at least for the present, and to return to Hana- a^hts-etrrihrstiJonifeHteTree:—Tirisis construed to mean that he thinks it unadvisable to make a change at his juncture. In speaking to a friend Gen. Lee is reported as saying that at present there is no opening for the active interference of the United States, as the Spanish have released nearly all the American prisoners, while congress has relieved the wants of the suffering concentrados in the towns. American interests have already been destroyed, so that there is really no commercial S^M9J^9L\^^]^J^]^^^.J^^^!^_ says that the insurgents are now on top and will certainly achieve their own salvation without assistance. He believes Spain has lost the island beyond recovery, and that the United States can now afford to stand aside and witness the independence of the island through the unaided efforts of the insurgents. He predicts that before the winter ia well along, Weyler and his staff will be besieged in Havana by a triumphant army of insurgents and then the United States can take a abort cut and acknowledge the independence of Cuba. Scheme to Relieve Klondykers. Secretary of War Alger has a scheme by which he expects to send relief to the American miners in the Klondyke region who are said to have only enough supplies to carry them half through the long Alaskan winter. The idea i8 to employ locomotive sleds, which are used on the frozen rivers in the logging regions of northern Michigan and Wisconsin, and with these convey the Jorge quantities of stores now stalled at St. Michaels by^ the freezing of the Yukon river. Messrs. P. B. Weare and Michael Cudahy, representatives of the North American Trading & Transportation Co., were in consultation with Secretary Alger and they declared their belief that the scheme was feasible. Canadians Come Back at Uncle Sam. The timber regulations of Ontario have been amended by the addition of a clause against alien labor, which provides that no timber license or holder of a permit engaged in lumbering on crown lands shall employe, engage or permit to be employed, in any capacity in such lumbering operations, including towing in Canadian waters, any person not a resident of or domiciled in Canada. This is supposed to be in retaliation for the $2 duty placed on Canadian lumber by the last U. S. congress. T E L E G R A P H I C T I C K I N G S . Chaplain Geo. H. Hickox, of Jackson prison, who has held that position since Oct 1, 1872—25 years—has resigned. During that time he has conducted 6,500 services in the prison chapel. Dr. Frederick A.

Three men wess blown to fragments and the mill demolished by a boiler explosion at Jos. Hay ward's sawmill near Macon, Mo. The injunctiohTissoedagainstEugene V. Debs by Judge Jackson, in the U. S. court for the district of West Virginia, has been made perpetual, the judge says, in the interest of "good law and morals." Chas. Newcomb, of Conklin, 0., was eating in a railroad restaurant at Scranton, Pa., when his train started. In trying to get aboard he fell under the wheels and was beheaded. Charles May, of Ann Arbor was drowned in McHugh's lake, near Whitmore Lake. He was fishing in company witn^Ta^ Hetnt2mairw1ien-the boat suddenly commenced leaking and sank. Heiutzman reached the shore. The tobacco shed and corn crib on the farm of Mrs. Lew Augspurger, two miles south of Middletown, was detroyed by fire. The shed con tained this year's crop of tobacco, and the crib over 500 bushels of corn. The loss is $1,500. Lieut Peary's Arctic expedition has reached Sydney, C. B. I., on the return from northern Greenland, on the steamer Hope. They brought back the Cape York meteorite, the largest in the world, which Peary discovered on a previous trip to the north. Andrew Smith and wife, colored, locked their six children, aged from 18 months to 7 years, in their house while they went for a visit, near Donalds, S. C. The children overturned a lamp, setting the house on fire. The building was burned to ashes, and the children perished in the flames. Americans residing in Antwerp held a meeting and decided to oppose the new Belgian law which requires all foreigners residing in that, country to be enrolled for military service in case of war. Americans and other foreigners in Brussels and other parts of the country will probably take like action. Mobile lu a State of Fanic- Jacksou, Mian. K The yellow fever has begun to spread quite rapidly at -Mobile- Ala., 11 new oases.being announced in one day. A quarantine line has teas drawn from Chioasabogue creek, Ibjowi of Mobile, some five miles northwesterly to the Mississippi line so as to present un absolute embargo against Mobilians penetrating by land into the interior of Alabama. This trocha is guarded continuously and when some 2,000 people started out luto couutry intendlpgrto take refuge with the farmers, they encountered the guards at the trocha and were stopped there and remained in the open air fearing to return to the city. The people of Mobile are i n s great panic and all are leaving who can, although experienced physicians and the older citizens try to quiet the alarm by showiug that the fever is nol progressing with anything like old time rapidity. Governor Barred the State Capital* When the rigid quarantine was established at Jackson, which is the capital of Mississippi, Gov. McLauriu was at his home at Brandon. Now he wishes to enter the capital, but the board of health is no respecter of per sons and refused to admit him. The scare at Jackson is growing and th( people are determined not to allow the disease to get a foothold there. They have torn up the tracks of th< Alabama & Vicksburg railroad, a shori distance west of the city, and als< burned the trestle on the same roac because the company refused to rui trains through the city at the rate o 20 miles an hour. Indignation is a fever heat and the people say that, i: necessary to compel observance o; their quarantine regulations, they wil burn every bridge between there anc Vicksburg. Gov. McLaurin has or dered out the Capital Light Guards, ic order to protect the property of the railroads. The Situation at Hazleton. The backbone of the strike has been Broken by the return to work of ly&6€— miners in the Honey Brook collieries of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Co., and 300 at Pardee's mines at Lattiraer, while the Cranberry, Crystal Ridge and Hnrwood mines of the Pardee Co., and the Coxe collieries in the Drifton districts are working full force. The employes of the Hazel mines of the Lehigh Valley Co, have also decided to return to work. A crowd of women attempted to prevent the men from working at Lattimer, but the soldiers pushed them back with fixed bayonets. Later—The warrants for the arrest of Sheriff Martiuand his deputies were issued by Judges Lvnch and Bennett at Wilkesbarre. They were served promptly and no resistance was made. The writs contain 78 names, including the sheriff's, and the latter has agreed to deliver all the deputies 'for a hearing. A company of the Ninth regiment will escort them to Wilkesbarre.' Gen. Gobin permitted the service of the writs because he thinks the civil authorities are now able to handle the situation. The preliminary treaty of peace between Turkey and Greece, which was prepared by the powers, has been signed by the sultan, but Greece very strongly objects to the supervision of her finances by the powers, and may reject the treaty.

The end of the bituminous coal strike and the return of many thousand men to work at advanced wages adds to the purchasing power of the people. The starting of many mines and works, enormous exports of wheat and corn, the favorable news as to those crop* and cotton, the fall In «t*rting e x - change, and the report showing that gold imports began in August, exceeding exports by 82,39.),6877 while merchandise exports exceeded imports by 8*0,958,758, have aU contributed to forward the improvement in business. The replenishment of stocks cannot be half finished, though some who could see no sign of improvement a few weeks ago are now finding it so vast and rapid that they fear reaction. The wheat market declined over be the past week on account of better crop reports, and corn and cotton are both a little lower for like reasons. . / . - • " • • • » . • • • ' • ' - : • ' .

' H E N did I flrtt become deeply Interested in Mrs. Tibbitts? W a s it when Frank Tibbitts, my y o u s s friend and godson, came to me to help htm out ot the "scrape with Jones" that coat h i m the tidy sum of 13.000 before it was adjusted to Jones' satisfaction? Or waa it when Frank began to get "into difficulties" and I had to compromise with his various creditors? Or was It when the sheriff h u n g a red flag from hla windows and I flew to the resoue of his Lares and Penates? He was a good fellow, honest, frank, cheerful and industrious, with no more of the get^along ability than a sixmonths' baby. More times than I can count did he start in some small business to sink all h i s capital and fail in his enterprise. H e had a hopeless faculty for muddling his accounts, letting his bills run up and his stock run down, that I never saw surpassed by a man whose whole Intention was honest. W h e n he married Laura Hcywood I held up, my hands i n amazed horror. Laura Hey wood, of all women, to take the place of active partner to one of the great army of incapables! She was the tiniest woman I ever saw—pretty, winsome and gentle, with waving brown hair, large, blue eyes, shy and timid, always veiled by snowy lids and long, brown eyelashes, hands and feet that might have been stolen from Queen Mab, and a voice that was low, sweet a c 4 slightly plaintive. When I would call upon Frank to try to adjust his m a n y and varied business complications and he would sit rumpling his curly brown hair, and gazing helplessly at me, I always found Laura with her pretty hands clasped over Frank'B, her soft, blue eyes looking- app"ealTngTy into Mine, ancT her tender voice cooing consolation, as if her husband was a baby to be soothed and petted. .Well, well, so he was—a grown-up Jetlld! They were a pair of babies, and should have gone to housekeeping in a b!g nursery, with a doll's tea set and candy and cake enough for a perpetual feast. Sunshine was their native element, and t h e y cowered under a storm. •They lived Upon hope and a touching faith in good t i m e s to come. To see them when Frank had Just started in some new business that was to make his fortune, and t h e y invested In some utterly useless, finery, was a sight to make the,prudent.shudder, she had no more Idea of economy than a butterfly, and her housekeeping was only to be compared to that of Dora Copperfield. Bpt if she fluttered in the sunshine, the wee, blue-eyed wife, she never complained for herself in the storms. For "poor Frank" many tears were shed, many moans made. She sold all her small finery w i t h cheerful willingness to give Frank a good supper or help to pacify a n enraged butcher. Being an old bachelor and a wealthy one, I came to regard these two as adopted children, a n d to make it my "mission" to set Frank on his feet as often as he knocked himself down. Laura^who^ was half afraid nt^^^-g^- flrst, with a vague apprehension of the dreadful things I m i g h t do to annihilate Frank if he displeased me, soon became confiding, and would nod her pretty head to enforce my prudent advise In a manner bewildering to see. She learned that m y most severe lecture was followed by some removal of the last difficulty, and would nestle her tiny white h a n d s in mine and whisper, "How good you are to us!" with all the loving confidence of a child for an old uncle or grandfather. But one dreary, dreary day s h e sent for me by a boy, who said: "There's s o m e t h i n g awful the matter at 28 B street, sir, and the lady says please come as soon a s you can. She's all white and shivering, sir, and couldn't hardly speak. I'd hurry up if I was you, sir!" Shivering! I looked at the street, scorched and dusty i n the blazing August aun, and seized my hat. Something awful! It m u s t be worse than usual or Laura would have written one of her dainty little notes. : Hurry as I would, I was too late. Upon the sofa where we had settled so much momentous business was stretched the unconscious form of my dear godson, h i s face rigid and white, his kindly eyes closed, his merry smile gone forever. . T w o physicians were gravely watching h i m , and Laura hung over him, tearless, mute, utterly horror- stricken. "Sunstroke!" one of the doctors whispered to me. "Not dead?" I said. "Yes! Can you c o a x the wife away? She does not understand y e t " It was no t i m e for the Indulgence of my own grief. I gently touched Laura's trembling hand. "My dear," I said, softly. N o word answered me, though my touch had broken the spell holding her. One look into my face, one long, shivering moan, and s h e dropped at cay feet in a dead f a i n t There w a s no relative to call in, n o woman near and dear to the stricken widow, only the sobbing servant g i r l I was like a father In the house, so I stayed while the doctor gave me directions and offered service in other than professional capacity. It la useless to dwell upon the sad days that followed. Too many such scenes are familiar to all to need description. Laura was not ill. Young and strong, she bore up physically, and tried, as she pitifully said, "not to be any trouble." But the little, drooping -figure; the white, wan face; the desolata eyes^and quivering lips were In sorrowful contrast to the bright little wife Frank had worshipped. There had been no Cloud upon their love, even if life had been full of perplexity, and not one self-reproach or memory of harsh words added to the widow's grief. Less than nothing, for there were debts to pay, was the result of wind ing up the business Frank was conducting when so suddenly Strieker, down. Laura knew this, for there wero never any secrets between her and her husband. When the first shock was over she applied to me, as usual, for advice. "I was thinking of taking boarders," she said. I looked down upon the sweet, pale face, the sky-blue eyes trying to face life bravely, and I thought of the varieties of martyrdom In this plan. How insolent servants would bully her! How swindling boarders would cheat her! How faultfinding women would frighten her! "I don't think it would do," I said "Because I am not a good housekeeper? But I could learn. Frank didn't mind. If I was making a pudding and he wanted me to make out some bills, and the pudding burned up while I did it, he never scolded a b i t - only laughed." "But boarders would scold." "I wouldn't have any one to call me away," she said, her tears--falling-fast "Can you make out bills?" I asked. "Oh yes! I know all about bookkeeping. I was my father's bookkeeper until he died, At home, you know." "Well, I think I can get you some to do!" And I did. By having the work done at very low prices, I persuaded some of my business friends to Intrust this work to "a young friend of mine," and took care that the money passing through my hand was sufficiently increased for Laura's wants. It was amazing to see how bravely she met her trouble, and how much Christian submission lay In her loving heart. She could talk quietly of her brief, happy married life, recalling all her husband's love, and yet pa tiently bearing her loneliness and sor- N B A R L Y UPSETTING MB. row. She worked faithfulIy^ and many acts of charity came from her slender resources for those who were poorer than herself. I, who had felt a pitying tenderness for the child-wife was first to add to that by-gone feeling a sincere re- ¥p^B^~fdrHffie"£rulT"WmaB"^ in poverty and grief to such a noble character. Three years had passed since that August day when my godson died, w h e n there came from California a cousin of Laura's, a bronzed and bearded stock farmer, who hac won wealth In that fruitful country by honest toll and fortunate investments. He was the most startling contrast to Frank Tibbitts, a strong, selfreliant man, with a loud voice, a will of iron and a sound, clear head for business. Investing his handsome fortune in various ways, he went into the business of managing his own estate and the reareation of courting his cousin Laura. "I have loved her ever since she used to bring me her dolls to mend, and cry her blue eyes reA over pet kittens,' he told me, "but I was a sort of big brother, and when Tibbitts came alqnp. whew! I was nowhere! But I'll win bet ' now, Heaven bless her!" I gave him ray best wishes. Stay! Did I? I gave htm my best spoken wishes, and I tried to hope that a second marriage might be as happy as the first, and h a r e none of its perplexities. But I was sorry to see how this new excitement disturbed Laura's life: Wap It a sense of disloyalty to Frank thai made her eyes so often bejtf m a r k s ' of bitter weeping? Did she fear to t*u*t her cousin that she grew so restless? She grieved me to the heart by shutting m e out from all confidence in the matter. A s soon as I spoke of her cousin she would become i m m e n s e l y dignified and sew or knit in solemn silence, never lifting her eyes from he* work. If I praised him she gave a feeble assent. If I blamed him she did not defend him. If I Questioned her directly she gave me bare facta without comment. Never once did she give me an opportunity to hint at my knowledge of his hope to win her. "She knows how I loved Frank, and she Is afraid I will-blame her for mar' rying again," I thought. But I was rather staggered when the California cousin asked me to make his proposals. "You Bee she looks on you as a second father," he said, frankly, "and she will let you speak to her. By Jove, I can't get a chance." "Why, I thought you were there every day?" "Well, so I am. But if I hint at m y love she begins to talk of Tibbitts. How can a man propose to a widow when she is actually talking about the dear departed as if her heart lay in his grave?" "They were a most devoted couple." "But she Is so young to go into perpetual mourning. Why, Laura Is not twenty-six!" But, though he pleaded eloquently, I refused to be his messenger o f f l o v e . That very evening, as I went to see Laura, he dashed out of the house, nearly upsetting me in his haste, and never stopping to apologize. I found Laura crying." How was it? What did I say? What did she say? All that is my business and hers! But I found the California cousin had asked for a love already given to me, and at this moment a little blue-eyed woman is challenging my admiration for a crowing, kicking bit of humanity that will call me papa, and Mrs. Tibbitts ceased to be Mrs. Tibbitts two The California cousin has gone back to California.—New York Ledger.

S I'm an old bachelor now, h a v e no relations except those so distant that I resent their being relations at all, live at a hotel and find little comfort except in Tom's family, says a writer in the Detroit Free Press. He and I grew^ up together, roomed together in college and did business together for years. We swore eternal friendship, come what might, and many were the pranks we played on each other, going to a length that none but a fast friend will permit. Tom and I were both athletes, both given to society and both in favor with the fair sex. On a trip home for the Christmas vacation we participate^ in a railroad wreck. From a burning car I had the good fortune to rescue a beautiful y o u n g lady who would have perished but for me. She was unconscious, I w a s nearly so and in the fearful excitement we were separated without either knowing who the other was. But she was always with me in memory and, by some strange trick of mysticism, I was hopelessly in love with her. After months of detective work on my part I found her and man- _ageiLan^acqua4ntancer ^AT every meeting I wanted to tell her how, next to her, the dearest thing in my life was the fact of having saved her life, but It seemed s o much like boasting and appealing t o her gratitude that I forebore. One e v e n i n g when I called she met me with both hands extended and a radiant look of happiness. She wanted my congratulations on the fact that she was going to marry Tom. "Ever since m y horrible experience in that wreck,"" she said, "I have loved the man w h o averted such a n awful fate Only the other day I learned it WUH dear old T o m , and now we are to toe married.*' 'Dear old T o m be- -" I began in my desperation, but he waa dear old Tom with all his faults.

Sir John Lubbock's ant died recently. tt was the insect that gave up so much information when he interviewed it, and not, as some obituary writers thought, a sister of one of his parents. The Chicago Tribune gives this sensible advice to the young man who wishes to know how to fit himself for going.to the Klondike: "AcauJre habits of self-control and industry; be prepared to meet with firmness whatever discouragements may arise; scrape together two or three times as much money for the journey as the best estimates render necessary; and; don't go.' The National Association of Manufacturers is taking a practical step toward the promotion of trade between this country and the Latin-American republics In the initiative of a Bample warehouse at Caracas, Venezuela. According to Mr. Richard Dolge, a manufacturer, who has only recently returned from that city, the conditions are now ripe for the development of trade in that place.

Whatever may be the fate of Andree —which at the time of this writing is Ufknown, tnd may forever remain tin* known, or may be cleared up by the next electric current that thrills an ocean cable—it is impossible to remain ui impressed by t i t cool daring of the man. When he cut loose from land and drifted out Of sight beyond the horizon of an unknown sea, driven by a wind t h a t would-take. him_ he knew_ not whither, he performed an act that" •was a supreme test of human nerve. The lingering visitor has often worn out a welcome, but a more serious result of a long stay is reported from Cheyenne. Mrs. Nicholas visited the Stanleys in Ogden, remained more than « month, and when she went home the Stanleys sent her a bill of $54 for board. Mr. Nichols, refusing to pay, was compelled by law to settle. Then Mrs. Nichols horsewhipped Mr. Stanley. With this precedent it is likely that visits in Wyoming will be considerably shortened. Perhaps the visiting limit will be fixed at a few days or a weak. The "You must come and see me" should be better understood. "I do believe," hurriedly exclaimed the Nebraska hotelkeeper, looking out of the front door, "there's a cyclone coming." * * * A forlorn looking guest dug his way out from under the ruins of the hotel. His coat was ripped up the back, his bare knee protruded from a ghastly rent in the left leg of his trousers, one end of his shirt collar was flying loose, his necktie was under bis right ear, one eye was in mourning, and a portion of the hair of his head had been scraped off. "You were in error, landlord," he said, feebly. "That was not a cyclone. It was a tornado." The guest was a gentleman from Boston.

He speaks with voice, with eyeT" with hand,' with foot His silence often is loud as thunder, and his life is 'a dirge or a doxology. There 1« no such thing as negative Influence. We are all positive In the place we occupy, making the world better or making it worse, on the Lord's side or on the devil's, making up reasons for our blessedness or banishment; and we have already done work in peopling heaven or hell. I hear people tell of what they are going to do. A man who has burned down a city might as well talk of some evil that he expects to do, or a man who has saved an empire might as well talk of some good that he expects to do. By the force of your evil Influence you have already consumed Infinite values; or you have by the power of a right Influence, won whole kingdoms for God. It would be absurd for me, by elaborate argument, to prove that the world Is off the track. You might as well stand at the foot of an embankment, amid the wreck of a capsized rail-train, proving by elaborate argument that something is out of order. Adam torabled-over the embankment sixty centuries ago, and the whole race, in one long train, has gone on tumbling in the same direction. Crash! crash! The only question now is, by what leverage can the crushed thing be lifted? By what hammer may the fragments be reconstructed? I want to show you how we may turn many to righteousness, and what will be our future pay for so doing. First. We may turn them by the charm of a right example. A child coming from a filthy home was taught at school to wash its face. It went home so much Improved In appearance that Its mother washed her face. And when the father of the household came home and saw the improvement in domestic appearance, he washed his face. The neighbors, happening in, saw the change, and tried the eame experiment, until all that street was purified, and the next street copied iU «xample, and the whole city felt the result of one schoolboy washing his face. That is a fable, by which we set forth that the beet way to get the world washed of its sins and pollution is to have our own heart and life cleansed and purified. A man with grace in his heart and Christian cheerfulness in his face and holy consistency in his behavior is a perpetual sermon; and the sermon differs from others in that it has but one head, and the longer it runs the better. Again: We may turn many to righteousness by prayer. There~Is no "such detective as prayer, for no one can hide away from it. It puts its hand on the shoulder of a man ten thousand miles off. It alights on a ship mid- Atlantic. The little child cannot understand the law of electricity, or how the telegraph operator, by touching the instrument here, may dart a message tinder the sea to another continent; nor can we, with our small intellect, understand how the touch of a Christian's prayer shall instantly strike a soul on the other side of the earth. You take ship and go to some other country, and get there at eleven o'clock in the An investigator who likes to get down to fine points has been figuring * out the difference in the oiling of watches and locomotives. A good watch needa oiling once in a year to ft jear and a half. A locomotive oiled So, the same way would run sixty miles • a hour day and night for 648 days, or nearly forty times the circumferenee of the earth. He says that as locomotives have to be oiled every day the watchmaker must have brought his - art to a much higher degree of perfection than the man who has built the locomotive. A* a matter of fact, the eases are not parallel. The watch is •Met carefully protected from the air, dust and foreign substances. The loccaaotive run* through dirt, dust, cinder* ***d debris of all sorts, much of which, as a matter of course, worfcs into the machinery. U this man could keep a locomotive in a flats case and oil it and care for it at completely as he does his watch, ha ml*ht he able to make tome figures, bet tntdef t h e circumstances he can scaroeiy he said to stave proven anytKmg. / morning. You telegraph to America and the meetage gets here at six o'clock the same morning. In other, words it teems to arrive here fire hours before it started. Like that it prayer. God says: "Before they call, I will hear." To overtake a loved one on the road, you may spur up a lathered steed until he shall outrace the one that brought the news to Ghent; but a prayer shall catch it at one gallop. A boy running away from home may take the midnight train from the country village and reach the seaport in time to gain the ship that sails on the morrow; but a mother's prayer **U be on the deck to meet him. and 4a the hammock before he swings into k/' and at the capstan before*he winds the rope around, and on the sea, against the sky, as the vessel ploughs on toward it. There is a mightiness in prayer. George Muller prayed a' company of poor boys togepier, and then he prayed up an asylum in which they might be sheltered. /He turned hit face toward Edinburgh and there came a thousand turned his face toward Dublin and prayed, and there came a thousand pounds. The breath of Elijah's prayer blew all the clouds otf the aky, and it was -drr weather. Tho breath of Elijah's prayer blew ail the clouds together, and it was wet weather. Prayer, in Daniel's time, walked the cave at a lion-tamer. It reached up, and took the tun by its golden bit, and stopped it, and the moon by its silver bit, and stopped it. We have all yet to try the full power of prayer. The time will come when the American Church will pray with lta face toward the West and all the prairies and inland cities will surrender to God; and will pray with face toward the sea, and all the islands and ships will become Christian. Parents who have wayward sons will get down on their knees and say: "Lord, send my boy home," and the boy in Canton shall get right up from the gaming-table, and go down tb find out which ship starts first for America, Not one of us yet knows how to pray. All we have done as yet has only been pottering. A boy gets hold of his father's saw and hammer, and tries to make something, but it is a poor affair that he makes. The father comes and takes the same saw and hammer, and builds the house or the ship. In the childhood of our Christian faith, we make but poor work with these weapons of prayer, but when we come to the stature of men in Christ Jesus, then, under these implements, the temple of God will rise, and the world's redemption will be launched. God cares not for the length of our prayers; or the number of our prayers, or the beauty of our prayers, or the place of our prayers; but it is the faith in them that tells. Believing prayer soars higher than the lark ever sang; plunges deeper than diving-bell ever sank; darts quicker than lightning ever flashed. Though we have used only the back of this weapon Instead of the edge, what marvels have been wrought! If saved, we are all the captives of some earnest prayer. Would God that, in desire for the rescue of souls, we might in prayer lay hold of the resources of the Lord Omnipotent! We may turn many to righteousness by Christian admonition. Do not wait until you can make a formal speech. Address the one next to you. You will not go home alone to-day. Between this and your place of stopping you may decide the eternal destiny of an immortal spirit. Just one sentence may do the work. Just one question. Just one look. The formal talk that begins with a sigh, and ends with a canting snuffle, is not what is wanted, but the heart throb of a man in dead earnest. There is not a soul on earth that you may not bring to God if you rightly go at it. They said Gibraltar could not be taken. It is a rock, sixteen hundred feet high, and three miles long. But the English and Dutch did take it. Artillery, and sappers and miners, and fleets pouring out volleys of death, and thousands of men reckless of danger, can do anything. The stoutest heart of sin, though it be rock, and surrounded by an ocean of transgression, under Christian bombardment may hoist the flag of redemption. Again: Christian workers shall be like the stars in the fact that they have a light independent of each other. Look up at the night, and see each world show its distinot glory. It is not like the conflagration, in which you cannot tell where one flame stops and another begins." Neptune, Herschel, and Mercury are as distinct as if each one of them were the only star; so our individualism will not be lost In heaven. A great multitude—yet each one as ob- -servablei^aa- -d 1st inclly, j e c o g n i z e ^ a s ^ greatly celebrated, as if in all the space, from gate to gate, and from hill to hill, he were the only inhabitant; no mixing up—no mob—no indiscriminate rush; each Christian worker standing out illustrious—all the story of earthly achievement adhering to each one; his self-denials and pains and services and victories published. Before men went out to the last war, the orators told them that they would all be remembered by their country, and their names be commemorated in poetry and in song; but go to the graveyard in Richmond, and you will find there six thousand graves, over each of which is the inscription, "Unknown." The world does not remember its heroes; but there will be no unrecognized Christian worker in heaven. Each one known by all; grandly known; known by acclamation: all the past sjtory of work for God gleaming in cheek and brow and foot and palm. They shall shine with distinct light as the stars, forever and ever. Again: Christian workers shall shine like the stars in clusters. In looking up, you find the "worlds in family circles. Brothers and sisters—they take hold of each other's hands and dance in groups. Orion in a group. The Pleiades^ in a group. The solar system is only a company of children, with bright faces, gathered aroutfd one great fireplace. The worldB do not strangle off. They go in squadrons and fleets, sailing through immensity. So Christian workers in heaven will dwell in neighborhoods and clusters. I am sure some people I will like prayed and I i n n c a v e n a Kr e a t deal better than othpounda. He i e r e - Yonder Is a constellation of stately Christians. They lived on earth by rigid rule. They never laugh-, ed. They walked every hour anxious lest they should lose their dignity. They loved God, and yonder they shine in brilliant constellation. Yet I should / , not long to set into that pertlculai group. Yonder is a constellation of small-hearted Christians-^atterotdt ta the eternal astronomy, While gone souls go up from Christian settle, and blase like Mart thete asteroids, dart a feeble ray like Vesta. Yonder it a constellation of martyrs, of apostles, of patriarchs. Our souls, as they go up to heaven, will teek out the most congenial society. Yonder is a constellation almost merry with the play of light. On earth they were full of sympathies and songs and tears and raptures and congratulatlpns. When they prayed their words took fire; when they sang, the tune could not hold them; when they wept over a w o o l ' s woes, they sobbed as if heart-broken; when they worked for Christ, they flamed with enthusiasm,' Yonder they are—circle of light! constellation of Joy! galaxy of fire! Xtix, that you and I, by that grace which can transform the worst into the best, might at last sail In the wake of that fleet, and wheel In that glorious group, as the Btars for ever and ever! Again: Christian workers will shine like the Btars in swiftness of motion. The worlds do not stop to shine. .There are no fixed stars save as to relative position. The star apparently most fixed files thousands of miles a minute. The astronomer, using hie telescope for an alpenstock, leaps from world-crag to world-crag, and finds no star standing still. The chamois hunter has to fly to catch his prey, but not so swift is his game as that which the scientist tries to shoot through the tower of observatory. Liks petrels mid-Atlantic, that seem to come from no shore, and be bound to no landing place—flying, flying—so these great flocks of worlds rest not as they go—wing and w i n g - age after age—for ever and ever. The eagle pastes to its prey, but we . shall in speed beat the eagles. You have noticed the velocity of the swift horse under whose feet the miles 8110« like a smooth ribbon, and, as he passes,' the four hoofs strike the earth in such quick beat, your pulses take the same vibration. But all these things are not swift in comparison with the motion of which I speak. The moon moves 54,000 miles in a day. Yonder, Neptune flashes on 11,000 miles In an hour. Yonder, Mercury goes 109,000 miles in an hour. So like the stars the Christian shall shine in swiftness of motion. You hear now of father or mother or child sick 1,000 miles away, and it takes you two days to get to them. You hear of some case of suffering that demands your immediate attention, but It takes you an hour to get there. Oh, the joy when you shall,ln fulfilment of the text, take starry speed,and be equal to 100,000 miles an hour! Having on earth got used to Christian work, you will not quit when death strikes you. You will only take on more velocity. There is a dying child in London and its spirit must be taken up to God; you are there in an instant to do it. There is a young man In New York to be arrested from going into that gate of sin; you are there in an instant to arrest him. Whether with spring of foot, or stroke of wing, or by the force of some new law that shall hurl you to the spot where you would go, I know not; but my text suggests velocity. All space open before you with nothing to hinder you in mission of light and love and joy, you shall shine in swiftness of motion as the stars for ever and ever. Again: Christian workers, like the stars, shine in magnitude.

Remember the name, Door.**, and take no othev. illiterate man knows that these things in the eky, looking like gilt buttons, are great masses of matter. To weigh them, one would think that it would require scales with a pillar hundreds of thousands of miles high, and chains hundreds of thousands of miles long, and at the bottom the chains basins on either side hundreds of thousands of miles wide, and that then omnipotence alone could put the mountains into the scales and the hills into the balance. But puny man has been equal to the nndftrtAking. and has set a little balance on his geometry, and weighed world against world. Yea, he has pulled out his measuring line, and announced that Herschel is 36,000 miles in diameter, Saturn 79,000 miles in diameter, and Jupiter 89,000 miles in diameter, and that the smallest pearl on the beach of heaven is immense beyond all imagination. So all they who have toiled for Christ on earth shall rise up to a magnitude of privilege, and a nagnitude of strength, and a magnitude of holiness, and a magnitude of joy; and the weakest saint in glory become greater than all that we can Imagine of an archangel. Brethren, "It doth not yet appear what we shall be." Wisdom that shall know everything; wealth that shall possess everything; strength that shall do everything; glory that shall circumscribe evrything!

IX that man has wronged Marjorie Annan, would you be feared to face him and avenge her?" "If he has played the villian," answered Sutherland, deadly pale, but detfirmlnenV -'I JKonld -hunt iiim -down And. punish him, though I had to follow him round and round the world." . As the young man spoke, his face wore an expression which few had ev- • J > « r noticed there before; all the softness and sweetness disappeared, the lines deepened, the eyes hardened, and the entire aspect grew hard as granite, and as unrelenting "I was right," said the old lady, noticing the change. "Ye have the Hetherington temper, Johnnie Sutherland. Oh, that I were a man to gang in your place! But you shall follow them with the swiftness o' youth and the keenness o* injured love." A few minutes later, Sutherland left the Castle, fully authorized to bring Marjorie back if possible, and armed with ample means, in the shape of a large sum of money, which Miss Hetherlngton thrust upon him. Left to herself in the lonely Castle, the lady retired to her private suite of apartments, and there gave way to the wild tempest of her sorrow and de- £ ^ spair. Pride and self-reproach contended together for the mastery of her heart; but love was there, too—the intense love of maternity, which for nearly eighteen -years had- been flickering secretly like a feeble Are. Sitting in her arm-chair, her head lying back and her eyes fixed wildly on the window's glimmering square and tho dreary prospect beyond, she fell into a troubled dream of the past. Again she was a proud, passionate girl, reckless in her comings and goings, caring for nothing in the world t u t the smiles of one man, and fearing nothing but the anger of her savage brother, in whom the tigerish blood of the male Hetheringtons ran twice fiery through lust and wine. So haughty and unlovable had she seemed, so stubborn and capricious, that only one man had dared to woo her—that man her father's and her brother's enemyr the enemy of all her house. They had met In secret, and she, with characteristic stubbornness, had loved him better for the feud that might have kept them asunder. And at last, in a wild moment of impulse, sh« had placed herself at his mercy, and had loved him without God's blessing or the sanction of clergyman or priest Then, to the -terror and amaze of both, came the knowledge that she was about to become a mother. Not tUl she confessed her situation to him did she discover that the hate of her family was. justified, and that she had loved a villain; for almost simultaneously came the news that he was about to marry the daughter o f ^ n English earl. She taxed him with it, and he scarcely took the trouble to den y i t He could never, he said, unite himself with one of her house. How i t came about s h e scarcely knew; bat one night, when she met her lover and faced him with wild upbraiding* a hand like iron was laid upon her arm, and turning, she saw her brother Hugh. The two men faced each other; there were a few words, then a blow, and she saw her lover's face livid and bleeding as she swooned away. > Later that-night, -when HugirHetar^ # ' it erington sought her in that very chamber where she was now sitting, *»« had wrung the whole truth from her, and, hearing it, had struck her, too, with his clinched fist in the face. As she thought of that time, she rose feebly and looked into the glass, l e a , the mark was there yet; she would carry it to her grave. Her worn face want ghastlier yet as she remembered what had followed. Hsw her wild brother left the place and was absent tor many days; and how, Just after he returned and drove her forth, she read In a newspaper that Lord Lochmaben, of the great Lochmabena of the Border, had Just died suddenly in his 86th year, somewhere abroad. There was n o scandal; the world did not even know how Lochmaben perished, but she knew that he had fallen by the hand of Hugh Hetherlngton, 1* a duel fought with swords on foreign soli. elation of the next few months! No one but her brother knew her secret and he kept i t well, so that all the world hoard was that the brother and •later had quarreled, and that ah* had left the Castle to dwell, temporarily at least, apart. No one wondered. The Hetherlngton temper waB well known, a by-word; it was as natural that such a brother and sister should hate each other as that swords should clash, or fire and torrent disagree. Creeping In secret to a town upon the English border, she had hidden her shame among the poorest of the poor. No one knew her; no one suspected but that she was some lowly woman who had gone astray in the manner only too common among her class. Then at last her little one was born. Sitting and reviewing it all darkly, seeing memory's phantom images flashing and fading before her, like colors ever changing in a kaleidoscope, Miss Hetherlngton felt again that wild, murderous thrill which hunted creatures, animal and human, often feel, and which tempts them—despairingly, deliriously—to destroy their young. She shuddered and cowered, remembering her first impulse. But the child had lived; and one night, holding It to her heart, the mother had disappeared from the strange town as mysteriously as she had come, leaving no trace or clew. Fascinated and afraid, she had returned to Annandale, hiding herself by day, traveling in the darkness only. How dark it had been, how the wind had roared, that night when she flitted like a ghost round the manse, and •aw the gentle old pastor counting his nmvenirs within! Her intention had been to go right on to the Castle with her burden; but the sight of the good man decided her, and she acted as the reader knows—leaving the infant on the doorstep, and flitting silently away. That night the brother and sister stood face to face. What was said and done no one knew; but after a stormy scene the lady remained at the Castle. No one dreamed of connecting her with the waif just discovered at the manse door, for no one but her brother knew the secret of her fall; and as if by a special providence the corpse of a woman was washed up some days later on the Solway sands, and suspicion pointed to this woman as the mother of the little castaway. From that time forth, till the day (which eame so soon) when her brother died. Miss Hetherlngton had little or no communion with him; and when he passed away, as wildly and darkly as he had lived, she shed no tears. She had never forgiven him, would never forgive him this side the grave, for slaying the only man she had ever loved, and who, perhaps, might have made amends. She brooded over her wrongs till she grew prematurely old, and dwelt in the lonely house, of which she was now sole mistress, like a ghost in a sepulcher, from dismal day to day. * * * * * * John Sutherland lost no time in the rursuit. He hastened to Dumfries at once, and, by questioning the railway offlcials, soon discovered that the fugi- -ttrerinnt gone southward oyThe~maII the previous night Further inquiry led him to Carlisle, and the very inn they had stopped a t Here he learned from the landlady that the young couple had been married and had taken the one o'clock train for London. It was all over, then; he had lost Marjorie forever. Of what avail was it now to follow and attempt to save her? Daxed and despairing, he found his way back to the railway station. He found the telegraph office still open, and at once dispatched a telegram to Dumfries, paying for a special messenger to t a i e k on to Annandale Castle. The message was as follows: "They were married here this morning, and are gone south together. What am I to dor* w To this came the answer: "Do not come back. Follow her; hear the truth from her own lips. Spare no expense, but find her. I leave it all to you." It seemed a useless errand, but he was in no mood to argue or disobey. So he took the first train that was going southward, and before mid-day was far on his way to London. ground; he had OHAPTHR XXIII. OR days Sutherland searched London in vain for a trace of the fugitive couple; then accident revealed t o him what a search of months might never have done. He was walking along moodily, with his eyes o n t h e passed into the iK>:?hh^rhnod ot Leicester Square, ; when suddenly he started anc trembled j from head to foot, A voice, It seemed to him a familiar voice, struck upon his ear. It was speaking volubly in the . French tongue. I Hurriedly he drew aside to allow the j person to pass him by; then, looking ; up, he recognized the French teacher— Caussldlere. Yes, it certainly was he, beyond all manner of doubt! He was carrying on such an excited conversation with his companion that he not even noticed Sutherland, whose sleeve he- had almost brushed., Sutherland's first impulse was to rush forward and confront the Frenchman, his next to drop back, to remain unobserved behind and follow him. The latter course he followed. Where he went he could not tett, being unversed in the wayB and the byways of the great city, but he was taken In and out of by-streets and slums— mostly Inhabited by- French refugee*; presently the two men entered a house, from which, after a lapse of an hour, which to Sutherland seemed an eternity, the Frenchman emerged alone. He called up a hansom; Sutherland called up one 'also, and they rattled away after each other. The Frenchman's hansom stopped presently at a house in Gower street. Sutherland, after noting the number of the house in passing, pulled up his hansom at. the corner of the next street and walked quietly back again. By this time both Caussldlere and his hansom had disappeared, but Sutherland recognized the place. He walked up- and down on the opposite side of the way, examining the house, staring at yit as if he would fain penetrate those dark walls and see the fair face which he suspected to be within. Then he calmly walked over.knocked at the door and inquired for "Madame Caussldlere." The servant admitted him, and he was at once shown upstairs. In one thing Sutherland was fortunate—Caussldlere was not at home. He had entered the house only for a moment to give his hurried instructions to Marjorie. "Pack up your things at once," he had said; "prepare yourself by the hour of my return. We leave for Paris tonight." Then he had hastened down again, entered the hansom, and driven away, * * * * * * Just an hour later the hansom containing Caussidiere stopped again before the house. This time the man received his fare, and the cab drove away empty, while Caussidiere entered the house and went up to his rooms. He found Marjorie in tears, and John Sutherland by her ride. At sight of the latter he started, looking the reverse of pleased; the presence of the young painter, by no means desirable at any time, was at that moment particularly embarrassing. But Caussidiere was not easily abashed; his presence of mind only deserted him for a moment; then he eame forward with a sinister smile. "So it is you, monsieur," he said. "I am amazed, but I cannot say that I am altogether pleased, since through finding Marjorie in your presence, I aae her with a sorrowful face, and with tears in her eye*." He came forward as he spoke, and held forth his hand, but Sutherland did not take it.. He rose from his seat, and stood awkwardly looking at the two. Marjorie rushed forward and took her husband's arm. '^Ah, Leon," she said, "do not be angry because I cried a little at seeing an old friend. Though I love the past, my love for you is not less; and he lias told me such strange news." Caussidiere smiled down upon her and patted her cheek. It was wonderful how self-possessed he felt now he knew that no one could step between him and his prize. "Well, my child," he said, "and what is this great news which he has told you?" "He has told me of my mother, Leon —of my dear mother." "PositiveTy.rr "Do you understand, Leon, that Miss Hetherlngton i s my " "Assuredly I understand, little one.

"Told you! certainly n o t mon amle! It was not my province to reveal the dark spots on the fame of the proud old lady of the Castle."

Mr. Young writes from Juneau: "We arrived here this afternoon alter a very pleasant voyage. We came on the City of Topeka from Seattle with the most social and jolly crowd that I ever traveled with. The outlook here is very gloomy. We found that there are hundreds of peiip^le^^nd_Jon8_of-^8upp^lie8-eB-thebeach at Dyea, waiting to be packed over the summit, and we must wait our turn to be packed over. They compel every one to wait his turn. They put a fellow in the river yesterday for offering more than the regulation price, which $17 per 100. According to the outlook now, it witl'be at least two months before our turn will come, and I think it impossible to pack ourselves soon enough to get through this fall. Some of our party are badly discouraged, but I have quit climbing mountains before I reach them, so I am going alone to Dyea, and take my chances with the rest. One thing sure, if I can't get through this year 1 can next. I started and am going. There are fourteen in our crowd. Those whom you know are W . E. Knowles, Charles L. Walters, Charles Oaks and J. H. Hamil. People are standing around in bunches arguing the situation from every imaginable standpoint, while I am quietly writing to you." Mi. Young left for Alaska some time in July with about 11,000 worth of supplies. He has been in Alaska before. CITY MEAT MARKET.

CONCISE Almost a Double Murder by a Trump— Jealaasy Causes the Killing of Two Men at Detroit—Mysterious Blase Fatally Barn* a Mother and Habe. Terrible Crime of a Tramp. Mrs. Verne Smith, aged 30, the good looking wife of a Branch county farmer, near Cold water, left her home about 11 a, in. to call ou a neighbor, * short distance away. When she had reached the neighbor's she looked back and saw a man entering her own home. Mrs. Smith ran back and found ft strange man there who demanded the money in the house. Being very badly frightened Mrs. Smith handed over $8, but the fellow said she had more and when she denied it she ran out of the house. The tramp caught her on the veranda and struck her several terrible blows on the head with a •tone, knocking her to the ground. Mrs. Smith regained consciousness in a abort time and dragged herself to Neighbor Gillet's and soon the whole neighborhood was alarmed. Edward Robinson, a young farmer, grabbed his gun, not noticing that it was not loaded, and In crossing a Held discovered the tramp and shortly afterwards overtook him. A terrible struggle followed, and the tramp fired two shots from a revolver, one striking the brave young fellow just above the heart. The sheriff was notified of the crimes and soon a large posse was searching the country surrounding the locality of the assaults. There was strong talk of a lynching if the fellow was captured. Mrs. Smith's condition is critical but •he has better chances of recovery than Robinson, who was shot just above the heart, the ball going entirely through his body. It is believed that the villain has entered a large swamp of 200 acres and s o - c a n- easily seclude—himself. The swamp is surrounded by armed men and his capture is expected at any time. Double Marder at Detroit. After deserting his wife and nine •mall children for three months and refusing to contribute to their support, Frank Fadellin, of 1345 Medbury avenue, Detroit, returned to the house about 8 p. no. and demanded admittance. The wife refused to let him in on the advice of her brother Jos. Auer, who was in the house. The familv thought he had gone away when suddenly four pistol shots rang out and one the windows was smashed by bullets which struck Mrs. Fadellin and the oldest son Frank, aged 17. The boy sank to the floor dead and the woman, who was only slightly injured in the shoulder, ran to the front door and called for help. A moment later steps were heard on the veranda and thinking the murderer was coming to kill the rest of the family Jos. Auer and Jos. Fadellin, aged 16, each grabl>ed a shotgun from a corner and fired point blank at a man on the porch. With a cry he fell to the ground and died and it was then seen that it was not Fadellin, but Jos. Stadelmann, a contractor, who lived nearby and who had run to the rescue when he heard the calls for help. He had arrived just in time to be mistaken for the murderer. He was shot directly through the heart Fadellin had disappeared in the darkness by the time the police had arrived.

Mother and Child Borne* to Death. the fatal burning of the wife and three months-old old babe of Louis Heythaler, a sailor, at S t Clair. The screams of Mrs Hey thaler caused the discovery of the fire by neighbors and Mrs. A. D. Cope, who was the first to arrive, says she found Mrs. Heythaler near the sink beside the washtub in the kitchen, her clothes all ablaze, and she put out the flames which enveloped the woman with a wet sheet from the wash tub, but Mrs. Heythaler was already terribly burned. Mrs. Cope then went into the bedroom and found the bedding on fire and the baby in the middle of the bed burned to a crisp. Near the bed stood an oil can half full, while in one corner of the room as well as in the parlor and in the pantry the woodwork was ablaze. Neighbors extinguished the flasaes and cared for Mrs. Heythaler, bwt she died in four houra I t is the general opinion that while temporarily insane the woman stated the fires to kill keraelf and babe and burn the house. Heythaler sails on the steamer City of New York and the sad news was telegraphed to him at Sault Ste. Marie. Chas Atkins went hunting near Battle Creek and was found dead in the woods two day* lajer.

Foreign News In Brief* In reply to the reports that Great Britain had decided to withdraw from the Bering sea seal conference with the United States, Premier Salisbury announces that he has not withdrawn, but has strongly objected to the participation of Russia aud Japan. Negotiations on the subject are proceeding. Sir Julian Pauuccfotc, the British ambassador, is expected to return to Washington from his London trip about October 15, notwithstanding reports that he would not be back in time for the Bering sea conference. With his return it is believed that steps will also be taken by the British authorities to negotiate reciprocity treaties, under the new tariff law, between the United States and British American colonies. Sir Augustus Hemming, governor- general of British Guiana, has urged the authorities at London to effect reciprocity arrangements with the United States, urging that the sugar industry of the colony was dependent on the United States market, which takes 71 perceut of the entire product A reciprocity treaty would permit a reduction of duty on the sugar of Guiana of about 33 cents on 100 pounds. It is believed that if reciprocity negotiations are begun in behalf of British Guiana and other southern colonies, it will lead to similar negotiations for Canada, where the liberal ministry is favorable to reciprocity. Judging from the tenor of utterances of high officials Great Britain is preparing to ask the next parliament for a material increase in the strength of the standing army, calling for additional battalions of infantry and a NINE MINERS KILLUD.

There had long been a bitter feud among them led by Wm, Culacabbage and Jos. Cavendish, rival saloonkeepers. While the latter'B followers to the number of several hundred were celebrating pay-day in Caveudlsh's saloon the Cnloabbage gang gathered in about equal numbers and with guns, revolvers, axes and clubs marched upon their enemies. The Cavendishes discovered them In time to hastily arm themselves and a bloody battle ensued. The men fought like demons, the shooting was fast and furious, aud other weapons were used with deadly effect The battle lasted almost an hour when the Culacabbage gang was routed leaving their wounded behind. Everything in the house was smashed, the floors were strewn with wounded men aud the walls were bespattered with blood. After the routed rioters had returned to their headquarters the Cavendish gang armed themselves to the teeth and marched to their enemy's rendezvous, where a still bloodier battle ensued. The police force and the constables of the surrounding region were called to the scene, but were' unable to cope with the rioting horde, who continued hostilities until morning. The town people did not sleep a wink all night, and while they watched the progress of the tight during the night, they made no attempt to interfere. At least 9 Poles were killed, 36 are known to be desperately wounded and perhaps 5Q more are being hidden away by their friends. TELEGRAPHIC TICKINGS.

The unexpected bitterness of the press and of public opinion has painfully impressed Jiiin, but he hopj2S_this will_aooiLbe allayed, as he believes his mission favorable fo Spanish interests and cannot comprehend that Spain could reject mediation designed to end an impoverishing war. He believes the war is inilicting incalculable loss upon the United States and that it is impossible to prevent the organization of filibustering expeditions. The program of the United States has been ascertained. This does not contemplate a declaration of war if Spain rejects mediation, but according to report, an "ostentatious proclamation to the world of disapproval of the Cuban regime by suspending diplomatic relations wTfch Spain and withdrawing the United States minister."

But the old man had lived for years on what he could..find in ihe garbage boxes of the neighborhood. If any of his Swedish countrymen offered him a drink he requested to be given the coin it would cost and pocketed it with thanks. Many stories are told of "Halte Sven's" peculiarities.

Truly, an admirable speech to make to your husband in the first flush of the honeymoon. I am too fond of ^you, however, to lose you quite so soon." "Then you will not let me return?" "Most assuredly I shall not let you go; what is Miss Hetherington to you or to me? She is your mother, perhaps, as you say; but in her case, what does that sacred word 'mother' mean? Merely this: A woman so hardened that she could abandon her helpless offspring to the mercy of strangers; and afterward, when she saw. her alone and utterly friendless, had not tenderness enough to come forward and say: 'Marjorie, you are not alone in the world; come to me—your mother!' " "Ah, Leon, do not talk so!" exclaimed Marjorie; then, seeing Sutherland about to speak, she went toward- him with outstretched hands. "Do not speak," she whispered, "for my sake. Since my husband wishes it, I must remain. Good-by." She held forth her hand, and he took it in both of his, and, answering her prayer, he remained silent. He had sense enough to see that in the present instance the Frenchman had tke power entirely in his own hands, and that he Intended to use It. He had noted the sneers and cruel smiles which had flitted over Caussidiere's face, and he saw that further interference of his might ruanlt In avH for th« ffltur* of her he loved. So, instead of turning to the Frenchman, he kept Marjorie's hand, and is the name to remember when buying Sarsaparilla. It has been curing people right along for more than 50 years. That5 s "You are sure, Marjorie, that you wish to remain?" "Yes," sobbed Marjorie, "quite sure. Give my love to my dear mother, and say that very soon my husband will bring me home again." * He lifted her hand to hi* Ups and kissed it again and again; then, with out another word, he was about to leave the room, when Caussidiere stopped him. damsel of forty, there is a diningchamber up stairs, so low that a tall man standing upright can almost touch the ceiling with his head, and so badly lit by a narrow window that a light of some sort is necessary even by broad day. . f In this upper chamber, one foggy afternoon in autumn, three years after the occurrence of the events described in the last chapter, a man was seated alone and busily writing at one of the wooden tables. The man was about forty years of age, corpulent, with jet-black hair and mustache, but otherwise clean shaven. He wrote rapidly, almost furiously, now and then pausing to read, half aloud, the matter on the paper, obviously his own composition. As he did so, he smiled, well pleased, or frowned savagely. Presently he paused and stamped with his foot on the floor. In answer to his summons, a young woman of about twenty, gaudily attired, with a liberal display of cheap jewelry, came up the narrow stairs. "Ah, Adele!" cried the man, "is the boy below?" The woman answered with a curious nod. "Give him these papers—let him fly with them to the printer. Stay! Is any one below?" "No one, Monsieur Fernand." "Death of my life, Caussidiere is late," muttered the man. "Bring me 'Monsieur," he said, "you will also, that canard? Ney if you please, bear a leetle message to our much esteemed Miss Hetherington from me. Tell her that, though in the first days of our married life she has tried to separate a y wife from me, I bear her no ill will; on the contrary, I shall be glad to hear of her prosperity. Tell her, also, monsieur," added the Frenchman blandly, "that since Marjorie Annan and I are one, we share the same good or evil fortune; that she cannot now gratify her malignity by persecuting Leon Caussidiere without persecuting her own child! ** some absinthe and a packet of cigarettes." The woman disappeared with the parcel of manuscript, and returned almost immediately, bearing the things ordered. She had scarcely set them down, when a foot was heard upon the stairs, and our old acquaintance, CauBsidiere, elegantly attired, with faultless gloves and boots, entered the room. "Here you are!" cried the man. "You come a little late, mon camarade. I should have liked you to hear the article I have just dispatched to the Bon Citoyen." "It will keep till tomorrow, Huet," returned the other, dryly, "when I shall behold it in all the glory of large type." Huet, as the man was named, ripped out a round oath. "It is a firebrand, a bombshell, by !" he cried. "The dagger-thrust of Marat, with the epigram of Victor Hugo. I have signed it at full length, mon camarade—'Fernand Huet, Workman, Friend of the People.' " Caussidiere laughed and sat down. "No man can match you, my dear Huet, in the great war of—words." "Just* so, and in the war of swords, too, when the time comes. Nature has given me the soul of a poet, the heart of a lion, the strength of Hercules, the tongue of Apollo. Behold me! When heroes are wanted, I shall be there." The two men talked for some time on general_gubJejcja;,-thea--Huet, after regarding his companion with'a prolonged stare, observed with a coarse laugh: "You are a swell as usual, my Caussidiere. Par bleu, it is easily seen that you earn not your living, like a good patriot, by the sweat of your brow! Who is the victim, mon camarade! Who bleeds?" "I do not waste what I have," returned Caussidiere, "and I love clean linen, that is all." Huet snapped his fingers and laughed. 'Do you mink I am a fool to swallow CHAPTER XXIV. N one of the narr o w P a r i s i a n streets in the near neighborhood o f the Seine, close to quays and old bookstalls, f r e - quented by the elbows and the bibliomaniac, there is an obscure cabaret or bonse of entertainment, 1>earing the nam* of Mouche d'Or. Besides the seeded salon, with its marble tables t a i its buffet, presided over by a giddy have money, you have a little nest-egg at home. You have a wife, brave boy; she is English, and she is rich." "On the contrary, she is very poor," answered Caussidiere. "She has not a sou." "Dlable!" "Nevertheless, I will not disguise from you that ahe has wealthy connections, who sometimes assist us in our struggle for subsistence. But it Is not much that comes to me from that quarter, I assure you. My correspondence and my translations are our chief reliance." 'Then they pay you like a prince, mon camarade!" cried Huet "But there, that is your affair, not mine. You are with us, at any rate, heart and soul?" "Assuredly." Sinking their voices, they continued to converse for some time. AX last Caussidiere rose to go. After a rough litterateur out at ^handshake from Huet, and a grujBy murmured "A bientot," he made his way down the narrow stairs, and found himself in the sanded entresol of the cabaret. Several men in blouses sat at the table drinking, waited upon by Adele. As Caussidiere crossed the room the girl followed him to the door and touched him on the shoulder. "How is madame?" she asked, in a low voles. "I trust much better.** Caussidiere gased at the questioner with no very amiable expression. "Do you say Madame Caussidiere? How do you know that there is such a person?" The girl shrugged her shoulders. "Your wife or your mistress. It is all the same. You know whom I mean* monsieur." "She is better, then.'1 "And the little garcon?" "Quite well," answered Caussidiere, passing out into the street. Leaving Mouche d'Or behind him, and passing along the banks of the Seine, Caussidiere crossed the river and reached the neighborhood of the Palais Royal. From time to time he exchanged a nod or a greeting with some passer-by, generally a person much more shabbily attired than himself. Lingering among the arches, he purchased one or two journals from *Jie itinerant venders.and then passed slowly on till he reached a narrow back street, before one of the doors of which he paused and rang a bell. The door being opened by a man in his shirt sleees, who greeted him with a "bon soir," he passed up a dingy flight of wooden stairs till he gained the second floor, which consisted of three rooms en suite, a small salon, a bedchamber, and a smaller bedchamber adjoining. In the salon which was gaudily but shabbily furnished in red velvet, with mirrors on the walls, a young woman was seated sewing, and playing near to her was a child about a year and a half old. Both mother and-child were very pale and delicate, but both had the same soft features, gentle blue eyes and golden hair. The woman was Marjorie Annan— Marjorie with all. the lightness and happiness gone out of her face, which had grown sad and very pale. Aa Caussidiere entered, she looked up eagerly and greeted him by his Christianname. The child paused timidly in his play. "You are late, Leon," said Marjorie, in French. "I have waited In all day, expecting you to return." "I was busy and couldn't come," was the reply. "Any letters?" "No, Leon." Caussidiere uttered an angry exclamation, and threw himself into an armchair. "The old woman had better take care," he cried. "Nearly a week has now passed and she has not replied to my note—that is, to yours. And we want money infernally, as you know." Marjorie sighed, and her eyes filled with tearB. "Why are you crying?" demanded her husband, sharply. "Because you have an unnatural mother, who would rather see you starve than share her wealth with you, or with the child?" "No, no, it is not that," answered Kirjorie. "Miss Hetherington has been very good. She has given us a great deal already; but we require so much, and I am sure she is not so rich as you suppos*'* "She is a miser, I tell you," returned Caussidiere. "What she has sent you is not sufficient for an ordinary sempstress' wage. She had. better take care! If she offends me, look you, I could bring her to shame before ail the world." At this moment there was a knot 4 at the room door, and the man who had admitted Caussidiere entered with a letter. "A letter for madame." he said. Marjorie took the letter, and, while the man retired, opened it with trembling hands. Her husband watched her gloomily, but his eye glistened as he saw her draw forth a bank order. "Well?" he said. "It is from Miss Hetherington—from my—mother! Oh, is she not good! Look, Leon! An order upon the beak for thirty pounds." "Let me look at it," said Caussidiere, rising and taking it from his wife's much. Well, what does the old woman say?*' "I—I have not read the letter." "Let me read it," he said, taking It from her and suiting the action to the words. It was a longiah communication. Caussidiere read it slowly, and his face darkened, especially when he came to the following words: "If you are unhappy, come back fo me. Remember your home is always here. Oh, Marjorie! my bairn! never forget that! It is a mother's heart that yearns and waits for you! Come back, Marjorie, before it is broken altogether." Caussidiere tossed the letter on the table. "So you have been telling her that you are unhappy," bo said with a sneer. "In the future I must see sit your letters, even to the postscripts. And^ahfi-bega you -to-gO-back to Scotland! Well, who knows?—it come to that yet!"

Swarthout's "Go Some" won the 2:35 race at Stockbridge on Thursday last, easily. The track was so heavy and in such bad shape that he would not let him go in the free-forall, Friday.

On Saturday last Guy Teeple and Murray Walker went bunting and when in the woods east of the village they separated. Guy sat down on a log and began to fool with a revolver which he had and it was accidently discharged, tbe ball striking near the left knee-cap. He called to young Walker, who got a rig and brought him home, and the ball was probed for but could not be found. The revolver was a 22 calebre and the wound only a flesh one so no trouble is feared. This tallies one for the opening of tbe hunting season. E!P WORTH LEAGUE.

"MUSIC IN T H E C H U R G H E 8 " S U N D A Y ' S 8UBJECJ/ The invasion of England by American playwrights and players is in the nature of poetical retribution. We have somewhat like 10,000 ready for export. A bicycle ordinance that can scorch through the council and not be punctured in the courts is what the wheelmen are looking out for as the next model. They had a dynamite explosion across the border from Buffalo the other day, and Immediately the Buffalo papers claimed a local earthquake. That Is the clearest tuse of stealing thunder we ever heard of. From the I « t , If. Cfcrotu 5» IS at Follows: *1t Came Even to P u i the Binges* Were as One to Make Oat Sound In the Praise of the Lord." There is still great activity in the wheat market, incident to the large demand for American wheat to make up the shortage in other countries. The market has been peculiar to a farmer's market rather than a trader's; that is, it has been a market the advance in which came at a time to benefit the fanners, some of whose old wheat was still on hand, while their new wheat was Just beginning to bo harvested. The scheming speculators got left this time. Seekers aftertreasure going to Alaska have attracted so much attention that the coming from Alaska to one-of-M* to--Blio.w that he was well pleased-wlth. the Middle States of a group of persons also searching for hid treasure may have passed unnoticed. Six Indian girls have left that far country to be educated at Carlisle for missionary service. What computation could measure the value of the probable eciuisltionj of these girls and its use as compared with the gold wh!ch a few of the many Klondike pilgrims will find? HE temple was done. It was the very chorus of all magnificence and pomp. Splendor crowded against splendor. It was the diamond necklace of the earth. From the huge pillars crowned with leaves and flowers and rows of pomegranate wrought out In burnished metal, down even to the tongs and snuffers made out of pure gold, everything was as complete as the God-directed architect could make i t It seemed as if a vision from heaven had alighted on the mountains. The day for dedication came. Tradition says that there were in and around about the temple on that day two hundred thousand silver trumpets, forty thousand harps, forty thousand timbrels, and two hundred thousand singers; so that all modern demonstrations at Dusseldorf or Boston seem nothing compared with that. As this great sound surged up amid the precious stones of the temple, it must have seemed like the River of Life dashing -against the amethyst-of the wall T of heaven. The sound arose, and God,* as Because of the depredations of wheelmen, two very beautiful country places along the Hudson have recently bceu closed to bicyclists. Rare dowers had been plucked, ferns dug up bodily, boughs broken from the exo'Jc trees, peanut shells scattered over the lawns, and the very owners of the grounds warned by the Insistent bell to stand aside. No aristocracy can compare in "effeteness" with such manners as these. The arrogance of unbridled liberty is even ruder than the exclusiveness of wealth. In letters to our government Japan disclaims any designs of her own on the Hawaiian islands, but makes for- ~mal protest against their annexation by the United States on three grounds: First, that the maintenance of existing conditions is essential to the good understanding of the powers which have interests In the Pacific; second, that annexation would endanger the rights of Japanese residents in Hawaii, who number 25.000; and third, that it might lead Hawaii to postpone the settlement of the claims of Japan against her. Our government has replied, Insisting on the right of annexation, but giving Japan friendly assurances that her rights and those of her subjects will be respected. The United States and Russia have never yet had a dispute. On the contrary, the very warmest friendship has always existed between them. During the civil war a Russian fleet prevented a British fleet from blowing up New York. In 1893 the «zar offered to loan us $100,000,000 in gold to replenish the reserve. There is not much immigration from Russia, but as a rule the Russian makes a good citizen of any country. Thousands of Americans live and do business la R^aeia.—Profit these earth.^ And > . we learn that Russia is not the sort of a despotism that some British writers try to make out. The country is •Well governed and wealth Is equally distributed. The common laborer is better off than his brother In America. There are no prisons and very little crime. The alleged horrors of Siberia that we read about in English papers are not horrors at all. A man con- Ticted of crime is sent to Siberia for a term of years. He is put to work, but is not shackled. If he is married, fee may take his wife with him. He receives fair remuneration for his services and at the end of his term of service rarely quits his exile. A single year in a British prison is equivalent to a 111« sentence to Siberia. We cannot 4earn too much about Russia. Some time ago there was talk of an alliance between the United States and England. Our senate wisely refused to ratify i t We do not think that a similar proposition from Russia would be as speedily refused. Perhaps a treaty, will be concluded before the end ef the century. In the meantime there Is a perfect understanding between the two nations. Russia alone among Europeans is friendly to the Monroe doctrine. There is not the slightest doubt but that In case of would aid us to defend It the music which his children make in all ages, dropped into the midst of the temple a cloud of glory so overpowering that the officiating priests were obliged to stop in the midst of the services. There has been much discussion as to where muBlc was born. I think that at the beginning; "when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for Joy," that the earth heard the echo. The cloud on which the angel stood to celebrate the creation was the birthplace of song. The stars that glitter at night are only so many keys of celestial pearl, on which God's fingers play the^ music of the spheres. Inanimate nature is full of God's stringed and wind Instruments. Silence itself—perfect silence—is only a musical rest in God's great anthem of worship. Wind among the leaves, Insect humming in the summer air, the rush of billow upon beach, the ocean far out sounding its everlasting psalm, the bobolink on the edge of the forest, the quail whistling up from the grass, are music While visiting Blackwell's Island, I heard, coming from a window of "The" mnEttc -asylum, a very sweet song. It was sung by one who had lost her reason, and I have come to believe that even the deranged and disordered elements of nature would make music to our ear, if we only had acutenesa enough to listen. I suppose that even the sounds in nature that are discordant and repulsive make harmony in God's ear. You know that you may come so near to an orchestra that the sounds are painful Instead of pleasurable, and I think that we stand so near devastating storm and frightful whirlwind, we cannot hear that which makes poh*6r to economise in bands of music, and many of them were sent home, but the generals in the army sent word to Washington: "You are making a very great mistake. We are falling back and falling, back. We have not enough music." I have to tell you that no nation or church can afford to severely economise in music. Why should we rob the programmes of worldly gaiety when we have so many appropriate songs and tunes composed in our own day, as well as that magnificent inheritance of church psalmody which has come down fragrant with the devotions of other generations— tunes no more worn out than when our great-grandfathers climbed up on them from the church pew to glory? Dear old souls, how they used to sing! And in those days there were certain tunes married to certain hymns and they have lived in peace a great while, these two old people, and we have no right to divorce them. Born as we have been amid this great wealth of church music, augmented by the compositions of artists in our day, we ought not to be tempted out of the sphere of Christian harmony, and try to seek unconsecrated sounds. It Is absurd for a millionaire to steal. Many of you are illustrations of what a sacred song can do. Through it you were brought into the kingdom of Jesus Christ. You stood out against the warning and the argument of the pulpit, but when, in the sweet words of Charles Wesley or John Newton or Toplady, tht» love of Jesus was sung to your soul, then you surrendered, as an armed castle that could not be taken by a host, lifts its windows to listen to a harp's trill. * * * But I must how speak of some of the obstacles in the way of the advancem e n t of tbirsacred music^rad the-ftrst is that it has been "impressed into the service of Satan. I am far from believing that music ought always to be positively religious. Refined art has opened places where music has been secularized, and lawfully so. The drawing room, the concert, by the gratification of pure taste and the production: of harmless amusement and the improvement of talent, have become very forces in the advancement of our civilization. Music has as much right to laugh in Surrey Gardens as It has to pray in St. Paul's. In the kingdom of nature we have the glad fifing of the wind as well as the long-meter psalm of the thunder. But while all thia is so, every observer has noticed that this art, which God intended for the improvement of the ear, and the voice, and the head, and the heart, has often been impressed into the service of error. Tartini, the musical composer, dreamed one night that Satan snatched from his hand an instrument and played upon it something very sweet—a dream that has often been fulfilled In bur day, the voice and the Instruments that ought to have been devoted to Christ, captured from the -*«r Mdy Christian frieuja, have we a right to delegate to others the discharge of this duty which God demands of us? Suppose that four wood-thrushes propose to do all the singing some bright day, when the woods are ringing with ftrd voices. It is decided that four wood-thrushes shall do all of the singing of the forest Let all other voices keep silent. How beautifully the four warble! It is really fine muBlc. But how long will you keep the forest still? Why, Christ won't come into that forest and look up, as he looked through the olives, and he would wave his hand and say, "Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord," and, keeping time with the stroke of innumerable wings, there would be five thousand bird voices leaping into the harmony. Suppose this delegation of musical per. formers were tried in heaven; suppose that four choice spirits should try to do the singing of the upper Temple. Hush now! thrones and domlnious and principalities. David, be still, though you were the "sweet singer of Israel." Paul, keep quiet, though you have come to that crown of rejoicing. Richard Baxter, keep still, though this is the "Saints' Everlasting Rest" Four spirits now do all the singing. But how long Would heaven be quiet? How long? "Hallelujah!" would cry some glorified Methodist 'from under the altar. "Praise the Lord!" would sing the martyrs from among the thrones. "Thanks be unto God, who giveth ua the victory!" a great multitude of redeemed spirits would cry—myriads of voices coming into the harmony and the one hundred and forty and four thousand breaking forth into one acclamation. Stop that loud singing! Stop! Oh, no; they cannot Bear me. You might as well try to drown the "thunder of the skyr or beat back tireroar of the sea, for every soul in heaven has resolved to do its own singing. Alas! that we should have tried on earth that which they cannot do in heaven, and, Instead of joining1 all our voices in the praise of the Most High God, delegating perhapB to unconse- 1 CRISIS IN S P A I N . Cabinet Resigns—New Liberal Cabinet Probable—Autonomy for Cuba. Madrid: The Spanish cabinet has resigned. The queen accepted t b e ^ e s i f nations, but has asked Premier Aaecarraga to continue In office until a aolur { tion of the crisis is found. Senor Sagaata has been telegraphed for and it is believed that' the liberal leader will be asked to form a cabinet. It is believed that Senor Sagas*a is in favor of superseding Capt-V\evler and granting autonomy to Culm immediately. Senor Gainazo will probably be minister of foreign affairs in the new cabinet. Washington: The cabinet crisis in Spain creates no surprise here as it was expected sooner or later, As to what is to follow the resignation of the cabinet, officials here are com' pletely in the dark. Secretary Sherman does not believe that it will materially affect the relations of Spain either to the United States or to Cuba. On the other hand high officials in the administration expect that a liberal cabinet under the leadership of the • veteran Sagasta will be. formed. If this should be the case the future is held to be full of promise, for Cuba. But whether it be a Sagasta cabinet or another, the chouse is felt to entail important considerations 911 the Cuban policy. The choice of Sagasta would undoubtedly, it is said, lead to the recall of Gen. Weyler and-a material modification of the agfrtessrive policy in Cuba. Madrid; The solution of the crisis depends upon the policy to be adopted, towards the United States. Liberal politicians declare that they will stoutly resist America's pretensions. English Advise na to Act la Cuba. London: to God's ear and the ear of the spirits above us a music as complete as it is tremendous. I propose t o speak about sacred music, first showing y o u , i t s importance and then stating some of the obstacles to its advancement. -* I draw the first argument for the importance of sacred music from the fact that God commanded i t Through Paul he tells us to admonish one another to psalms and hymns and spiritual songs; through David he cries out: "Sing ye to God, all ye kingdoms of the -of— other passages I might name, proving that it is as much a man's duty to sing as It is his duty to pray. Indeed, I think there are more commands in the Bible to sing than there are to pray. God not only asks for the human voice, but for the instruments of music. He asks for the cymbal and the harp and the trumpet And I suppose that in the last days of the church the harp, the lute, the trumpet,, and all the instruments of music that have given their chief aid to the theater and bacchanal, will be brought by their masters and laid down at the feet of Christ and then sounded in the church's triumph on her way from suffering into glory. "Praise ye the Lord!" Praise him with your voices. Praise him with stringed instruments and with organs. I draw another argument for the importance of this exercise from the tmpressiveness of the exercise. You know something of what secular music has achieved. You know it has made itr 'mpresslon upon governments, upon laws, upon literature, upon whole generations. One inspiring national air is worth thirty thousand men as a standing -rmy. There comes a time la the battle when one bugle is .worth a thousand muskets. In the earlier part of our civil war the government procrated men and women this, most solemn and most delightful service. Music ought to rush from the audience like the water from a r o c k - clear, bright, sparkling. If all the other part of the church service is dull, do not have the music dull. With BO many thrilling things to sing about, away with all drawling and stupidity! There is nothing makes me so nervous as to sit in a pulpit and look off on an audience with their eyes three-fourths closed and their lips almost shut, mumbling the praises of God. During my recent absence I preached to a large audience, and all the music they made together did not equal one skylark. People do not sleep at a coronation. Do not let us sleep when we come to a Saviour's crowning. In order to a proper discharge of this duty, let us stand up, save as. age or weakness or fatigue excuses us. Seated in an easy pew we cannot do this duty half so well as when, upright, we throw our whole body into i t Let our song be like an acclamatlpn of victory. You have a right to sing. Do hot surrender your prerogative. / We want to rouse all our families upon this subject. We want each family of our congregation to be a singing school./ Childish petulance, obduracy and intractability would be soothed if we had more singing in the household, -he-will- forgive aay rteflrlAncy ^+ \fo U ^ ' W ^ r "1»»«» 0"«»* w™ild be Jgf^ The Spectator, "accepting as a fact the report tha\ the United States has admonished Spain, finds it difficult to think war can be averted, adding: "Apart from the fact that pride and ignorance of the consequences bid Spain defy the United States, war is probablv considered to church and applied to the purposes of sin. Another obstacle has been an inordinate fear of criticism. The vast mar jority of people singing in church never want anybody else to hear them sing. Everybody is waiting for somebody else to do his duty. If we all sang then the inaccuracies that are evident when only a few sang would be drowned o u t God asks you to do as well as you can, and then if you get the wrong pitch or keep wrong time ear and imperfection of the voices/ Angels will not laugh if you should lose your place in the musical scale or come in at the close a bar behind. There are three schools of singing, I am told—the German school, the Italian school, and the French school of singing. Now, I would like to add a fourth school, and that is the school of Christ. The ^voice of a contrite, broken heart, although it may not be able to stand human criticism, makes better music in God's ear than the most artistic performance when the heart is wanUng;~God calls on the beasts;"on the cattle, on the dragons, to praise him, and we ought not to be behind the cattle and the dragons. Another obstacle in the advancement of this art has been the erroneous notion that this part of the service could be conducted by delegation. Churches have said, "O, what an easy time we shall have. Tne minister will do the preaching, and the* choir will do the singing, and we will have nothing to do." And you know as well as I that there are a great multitude of churches all through this land where the people are not expected to sing. The whole work is done by delegation of tour or six or ten persons, and the audience are silent In such a church i» Syracuse, an old elder persisted in singing, and so the choir appointed a committee to go and ask the elder if he would not stop. Yon know that in* many churches the choir axe expected to do all the singing, and the great mass of the people are expected to be silent, and if you utter your voice you are interfering. In that church they stand, the four, with opera-glasses dangling at their side, singing "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me," with the same spirit that, the night oefore on the stage, they took their part in the Grand Duchess or Don Gtorasjsi. pared for the great congregation on Sabbath day, their voices uniting with our voices in the praises of the Lord. After a shower there are scores of streams that come down the mountain side with voices rippling and silvery, pouring into one river, and then rolling In united strength to the sea. So I would have all the families in our church send forth the voice of prayer and praise, pouring it into the great tide of public worship that rolls on and on to empty into the great wide heart of God. Never can we have our church be the best way out of the difficulties." After detailing Spain's iniquities in Cuba, the Spectator continues: "To prolong the war in Cuba would be a crime, and If, America chooses to stop these hideous cruelties all Englishmen should applaud and refuse to inqure too closely into the reason which forced her statesmen in putting pressure upon Spain." Referring to the objection of "patriotic Americans to the admission into the union of Cuba and Hawaii as states and the consequent election of senators by degraded populations," the Spectator says: "America's duty is to stop the long agony in Cuba, and if her constitution does not admit of her doing so safely the sooner she amends her constitution so that she can hold her new acquisitions on a different footing the better for her and for humanity." A Negro named Mark Ferrin criminally assaulted the 10-year-old daughter of Isham Land rum, near Canderville, La., and escaped, Rutland Mc- Enery, a nephew of U. S. Senator. Mc- Enery, in searching for the rapist demanded admission to the house of Jim Turner, colored, a friend of Ferren. Turner objected and when McEnery insisted he was fatally shot. This crime soon became known and Mc- Enery 's friends captured Turner and shot him full of holes. The rapist is still at large. . T H E M A R K E T S .

My Christian friends, if we have no taste for this service on earth, what will we do in heaven, where they all sing, and a i m forever? I would that our singing today might be like the Saturday night rehearsal for the Sabbath morning in the skies, and we might begin now, by the strength and by :he help of God, to discharge a duty which none of us has fully performed.

You have a severe fall, you strain yourself lifting or perhaps you are compelled to maintain a sitting or stooping position for long inter- ~ vaTs ata time, your back begihs~K> ache, then your head, you become listless, tiroi and weary, but do you understand the real cause? Wo think not, else you would" cot use plasters and liniment on the back, which only relieve but do not reach the \ cause. If you would rid yourself of the pain and cure the root of the trouble, at the same time save many years of suffering and perhaps life itself, you will take a kidney remedy that has been tried and - proven cthat it will cure. Mr. John Robsoin of 661 Russell Street, Detroit, saya: "As a result of exposure during the war I have suffered ever since with rheumatism and kidney trouble. Pains would start in my hip and go around to my back. Highly colored urine denoted kidney disorder. The pain in my back was often so bad I had to give up work until the severity of the attack passed away. I have used many liniments and other things, but received very little relief. Some time ago I started using Doan's Kidney Pills and they have worked a wonderful change in me. My back is all right now and Iowe it all to the almost magical influence of Doan's Kidney Pills."

HE excursion of lumbermen to the Pacific northwest has just been brought to a conclusion, and all unite in declaring it the most successful trip of the kind. They have seen the majestic scenery of Puget sound and the Columbia river, the wonderful forests of Oregon and Washington and all the processes involved in Western methods of manufacturing lumber from the time the ax is first put into the standing tree until the finished products are ready for shipment. The excursion was due to the efforts of the Washington Lumber Exchange and the Manufacturers' Association of the Northwest, organizations composed of the prominent and progressive mill men of the west. A great deal of interest was aroused among dealers, as many appreciate the fact that Oregon and Washington possess almost half the timber standing in the entire country and will be important factors in the future operations in the lumber business. The red cedar shingle of the Pacific coast has practically driven those~of white pine and cypress from the field, and at present the demand is greater than the production of all the mills. Under the direction of the Seattle committee a delightful day was spent upon the sound. Port Blakely, where the largest mill in that country is located, was one of the places visited. Four hundred thousand feet of lumber Is the average cut in ten hours, and vessels gather there to take the product all over the world; sometimes thirty are loading at the long dock at the same time. On this occasion one ship was chartered to carry timber to South Africa for the gold mines, another was bound* for China, a third for London, and others to the Sandwich Islands. A visit was made to the government dry dock at Portland, Ore., the largest in the world. It was built entirely of fir timbers, and was consequently an appropriate thing to show a party of lumbermen. From Tacoma the party made its first excursion into the forests, for which the region is noted, and spent an entire day in the timber. The St. Paul and Tacoma lumber company took them to their logging camps. The fine logs, some 80 and 100 feet long, to make timbers for foreign shipment, were greatly admired. A frequent topic of conversation was the prodigality in western manufacture, when compared with similar Work in Michigan and Wisconsin, where nothing is allowed to go to waste. Many remarked, as they saw logs rejected in the woods, or the refuse material in the mills, that enough was thrown away to make a fortune in the east. The time will undoubtedly come when everything will be utilized in this section, too, but now there is such a wealth of timber that nothing bnt the best will be accepted.

Some men who had worked in the mills for years had returned with ten-gallon kerosene cans full of nuggets, and that spread the craze more than newspaper reports. Portland and the Columbia river were not neglected In the Itinerary. One day was devoted to a trip up the river and to looking over the unique plant located at BridsJ Veil, pre. This little town is noted among lumbermen on account of the novel way in which logs and lumber are transported, and many who have read of the plant were anxious to see it. There is a rich body of timber in this vicinity, but'the mountains skirting the river are so rugged that logs cannot be put into the water, 1 •• aa~elevatlon of l.lW-feeTr where^6i§ could be brought to it, and transporting the lumber to the railroad station below by means of a V-shaped flume, carrying a stream of water, in thla way the lumber makes the two-mile trip in four minutes, big timbers shooting down the steep places at a high rate of speed. Another feature of the plant Is the unusual manner of operating the logging railroad. This carries an immense amount ot freight without the use of a truck or wheel, aside from those on the locomotive. The modus operandi, which was illustrated in Grit a few weeks ago, is to hitch a long string of logs end to end, and the locomotive takes hold of these and "snakes" them along on greased boards laid down between the track. At a distance this queer train looks like a huge snake winding down the canon.' It seems strange that the logs do not roll over the track. It is the only place in the country where logs are handled in this manner. The railroad has a heavier grade than the ordinary mountain roads, the average being six per cent, and in one place it is ten per cent. The visitors, mounted on cars, were pushed the entire length of the road. They had an opportunity to see all the operations of logging, including a camp where a long team of powerful oxen haul trains of logs to the railroad. At one camp logs are handled by a complete system of ca» A MONARCH OF THE FOREST. bles, just as street cars are propelled. A chute, down which the huge logs dash at a tremendous rate of speed, attracted attention. The greater part of two days was spent in Portland and its vicinity visiting points of scenic and trade interest. The visitors saw, while in Portland, Ore., a vessel taking on the largest cargo of lumber that ever left the Pacific coast. This Is the Florida, which will carry 3,000,000 feet of railroad ties for the road being built in Northern China; 450,000 feet.were loaded in one day. riow'n This!

A considerable number of German towns and villages have for some time subjected the bibulous inhabitants to the regulations of a modified prohibition law.

A drunkards' list, published periodically, exhibits the names and occupatidns.and copies of it are sent to local innkeepers and liquor dealers, who are liable to pay heavy fines if they sell liquor to those mentioned in the list, which ia placed on the wall of the restaurants and hotels and reads something like this: "To whom it may concern; It is not permitted to sell liquor to the following persons: Hans Sueffel, tallor; Peter Fucssxihcnjhoen^kert-g1 Spundloch, carpenter; Frauleln Klara Klatsch, seamstress; Kunz Kater, laj, borer.

Depression of Spirits so common in summer-time, iccompanied by loss of energy, lack of thought-power, means a deficient supply of nourishment. The vital force is lost. It isn't a question of muscle and sinew, but of resistance and endurance. At any age, but especially in youth, it involves the risk of lung disease. Loss of flesh and a cough are threatening signs. Sc&E Smuhion of Cod-liver Oil, with the hypophosphites, meets these cases perfectly. It tones up, fattens and strengthens.

The Patnam and Hamburg Farmer's club held a very interesting meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Kice on Saturday Sept. 25. Although the attendance was not so good, yet a pleasant time was had. Dinner was served after which the president called the club to order and they listened to a tine selection of instumental music by Miss Grace Nash and select readings bv Mrs. Coniway and Miss Nella Lake. The question of harvesting corn was then discussed. Some had seen corn threshed with wheat machines, but, while the fodder was in good shape for feeding, the corn would not keep. Several thought that a good tasking machine like the Keystone Co. manufacture, would be a good investxent for some man who already has a threshing machine. This machine husks the corn and shreds the stalks at the rate of about 800 to 1,000 bushels per day. G. W. Teeple said be believed in the old fashioned way of drawing the corn to the barn and have an old fashioned husking bee with plenty of "red'1 ean?—ask all of the young folks and have a good old fashioned time. The association question was taken up and discussed by C. G. Smith, G. W, Teeple and others, after which the question box was opened and lound to cuntain some important questions which were discussed with interest, and brought out some good thoughts. The club was then treated to some fine music by Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Kice, Mr. and Miss Smith, also a solo by Miss Olive Smith after which five new members joined the club and they adjourned to meet at the borae of S. E. Swarthout on Saturday, Oct, 30. The question at t< at time will be the free maii delivery in the rural districts. at this place on Saturday, Oct. 23. Arrangements are being made for a grand wind-up for the season, J. R.

Silas, Barton and wife celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their married life at tbeir home in this place on Thursday last, Oct. 7,1897 and a very pleasant time was spent. Silas A. Barton was born in Tyre, N. Y„ May 25,1823, and Miss Harriet P. Lee was born in Cottonsburg, N, Y., May 4, 1825. They came with their parents to Michigan and settled near Pinckney, Oct. 7, 1847. They were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony and for fifty years they have stemed the tide of family quarrels and joys and kept sweet until now at an advanced age they are among the happiest old people we know of. Together they have labored and out of a forest where wild beasts were more plenty than neighbors, they have hewn out a pleasant home where they may end their days with peace and plenty and friends without number. To them have been born five children, three of whom are living and all situated within a half hours drive of "borne." The three boys with their wives and,four children, of course were present on Thursday, with Harry Lee of Dansville, nephew, Mrs. Flora L. Grimes and daughter, Bertha, who are neice and grand-niece, also Mr. and Mrs. Marquis Nash of this place. The gathering was not large but they met with full hearts and it is needless to say that they went away with the wish for many more such meetings. The supper would beggar the English language to describe. In the center of the table was a roast pig and around about it was all the necessities and many of the luxuries that go to make up a bountiful meal. The old couple are still spry and and Uncle Silas enjoys a days sport with the gun and dogs as well as when he killed deer and wolves in the woods about the village. May tbey be blessed with continued health and strength for years to come. m i m • • Annual C. E. Convention.

Even if the party is not willing to g o as far as the extreme Cuban sympathizers in the United States wieh, it is felt t h a t there will certainly be a most liberal offering of concessions to secure peace in Cuba. Another result that is expected is the withdrawal, either by resignation or recall, of Gen. Weyler. DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. Forest and Prairie Fires Sweep Canadlaa Farms.

After taking care to pocket the draft, he tossed up the boy and kissed him. and told Marjorle he looked as If she coddled him too much. Then no prepared to leave. "Shall you be back soon, Leon?" asked Marjorle, timidly. Whenever •he addressed him now she was always fearful of the reception of her words. "I shall not return at all," answered Caussldiere; "or rather, I shall be late, as I dine with a .little party of friends. Do not sit up for me." And with another kiss blown airily to his offspring he was off. Marjorle did not cry or show any sign that this conduct distressed her. She was too used to it for that. She turned in tender despair to her only comfort—the child. They sat alone together, the little one perched on his mother's knee, listening opened mouthed as she talked to him of her old home. She told htm of Miss Hetherington, about the manse, and Mr. Lorraine, who lay quietly asleep in the little kirkyard. How strange it would be, she thought, 4o take the little one there. How Miss 'Hetherington would love him; how old Solomon would stare and call tt "uncanny" to hear him prattling so prettily in French! Ah! but would the day ever come when she could take him there indeed? Long after the child had gone to bed, Marjorle sat "by the fire thinking of those happy days; she wrote to Miss Hetherington, concealing as well as she could the >dark spots in her life, •peaking cheerfully and happily of her little boy, and still dwelling upon the hope of one day bringing him to her old home. Then she mat down.to wait for her husband. Caussldiere was late, and when be appeared Marjorle saw at a glance that all his good humor had left him. He was angry at finding her up; accused heir of wishing to time his going, and coming, and peremptorily ordered her to bed* Without a word Marjorie obeyed; she saw that he was rather the worse for fftquor, and that anything the might .say -would provdke hba. The next morning she rose early, according to her usual custom. To her amazement, jost -«e she was about to give the child his ttreavrast, Causaldlere came down. He had dressed with unusual care; he took his breakfast silently, and when it was over he went up stairs again to add a Dew more touches to his already carefully made toilet; then he reappeared, nodded to the boy and to Marjorie—he was too well dressed to touch either—and left the house. Though he had said nothing, Marjorie was certain from fate dress and mysterious manner that it was no ordinary" work that had called him away that morning, and as she thought of the strange, cold way he had left her, her <eyes filled with tears. Suddenly there was a knock At the ndoor. Hastily brushing away her tears, Marjorie cried "Entree," and the -door opened, admitting a woman, none f other than Adele of the Mouche d*Or. Of all the women of Canssidiere's acquaintance, this was the one whom Marjorle most wished to avoid. She was half afraid of Adele, since she had on one occasion heard her singing one of her songs In a cafe crowded with men. Marjorle's strict Scotch training made her shrink from communion with such a woman. When she saw* Adele's face, therefore, she felt troubled, and demanded rather coldly what she sought. "I seek Caussldiere," returned Adele. "Is he at home?" "No." returned Marjorie, quietly, "he has gone~out." She thought this answer was conelusive and expected to see. Adele disappear, but she was disappointed. She •same in. closing the door behind her, walked over to llttte Leon, and patted hisa os the head. P M S S ASSOCIATION. Leon gazed up and smiled; he had no fear of her; but Marjorle made a movement aa if to protect him from her touch. As Marjorle came forward, Adele looked up from the boy's curly head, and asked, almost roughly: "Whera is Caussldiere, did you say?" "I do not know," returned Marjorie, drawing the boy toward her; "he did not tell me. "He seems to tell you very little, about himself, madame," said Adele, fixing her eyes strangely upon her companion's face; then she added, suddenly, "Why do you draw the boy away from me?" Marjorle did not answer, so, with a short, hard laugh, the girl continued: "I suppose you think, madame, that I am not fit to touch him? Well, perhaps you are right." "I did not mean that," returned Marjorle, gently. "If I kissed the little one, would you be angry?" cried Adele, with a curious change of manner. ."Ah, madame, I am bad enough, but not .quite so bad as you think me. . I love little children. I once had a little boy like this of my own." "A little boy! Then you are married ;jou_have a husband-2—" "When my child was only a baby, before he could walk or speak," continued Adele, not heeding the question, "I—I lost htm. I do not even know if lie is alive or dead." And she lifted little Leon in her arms, and kissed him wildly. Marjorie's gentle heart was touched. "You lost your child?" she cried, full of sympathy. "He was taken from me, madame. I was too poor to keep him, and one night—one cold winter night—his father placed him In the basket at the Foundling. I have never seen him since—never!" "HOTT wicked of you; how cruei! To desert your child!" "You do not understand. In France It Is the custom when folk are poor." Marjorie shrank from the woman in horror. All her maternal heart was in revolt, and with an impulsive gesture she drew little Leon to .her and embraced him tenderly. Adele looked at the pair with a strange expression of mingled sorrow and pity. "And your husband, lnadame?" she asked, suddenly. "Is he* good to you?" "Yes. Why do rou ask?" says Marjorie, in surprise. "Never mind," returned Adele, with her old laugh. "For myself, I think that all men are canaille. It is we others, we women, who bear the burden while the men amuse themselves. Why does Caussidiere leave you so much alone? Why does he dress so well, and leave you and the little one so shabby? Ah, he is like all the rest!" "What my fiusban<r7does," criecT Marjorie, indignantly, "is no concern of yours. I will not hear you say a word against him!" Adele laughed again, "You are only a child," she said, moving to the door. "Will you give Monsieur Caussidiere a message from me?" "Yes. if you wish." "Tell him he is wanted tomorrow at our place; he will understand." She half opened the door.then turned and looked back. Do you know, madame. that in a few CHAPTER XXVL N leaving Marjot -JUX—aad_ coming into the street, Caussldiere , walked along rapid- ! ly In the direction of the boulevards. He hummed a Tight air as he went.and | held up his head > with that self-sat- i isfaction only felt ! by the man who has money in his ' pocket. Indeed, the receipt of Miss Hetherington's draft had taken a weight off his mind, as he had an appointment that evening with an individual whose tastes were expensive like his own. j His business during the day does not concern us, but when tt was evening, and the lights were lit,, the cafes ; thronged, the footpaths full of people coming and going, he reappeared in ' the center of the city. Lighting a ci-. gar, he strolled up and down; paused at a kiosk and bought a newspaper; then, approaching the front of one of the great cafes, found a vacant seat at a table, ordered some coffee, and sat down in the open air watching the busy throng. He was sitting thus when his atten tentlon was attracted to a figure Btand- ! ing cloge by him. It was that of a young man dressed carelessly In a tweed suit and wearing a wideawake hat. He was standing in.the light of one of the windows, talking to an- I other man, somewhat his senior, whom '. he had juat met.. Caussidiere caught j a portion of their conversation. j "And hoo lang hae ye been in Paris?" asked the elder man. *1 'Ail the summer," replied the oth- j er. "I came here to study and paint,*! and I have been doing very well. How i are all in Annandale?" i "Brawly, brawly. Where are you j staying?" ! Cau3s;diere did not catch the reply, ', and \he two men moved away with : the crowd; but he had recognized, at a glance, in the younger of the inter- I locutors, an old friend—John Sutherland. "Diable!" he muttered. "What has! brought him to Paris? I must lake ' care that he and Marjorie do not i meet." | He rose, paid for his refreshment, j and walked away. It was now 8 j o'clock. Hailing a fiacre, he jumped j in. and ordered the coachman to drive to the theater du Chatelet j Alighting at the door, Caussldiere i strolled mto the vestibule, and paid for 1 a seat in one of the balcony boxes. He j found the vast place thronged from | floor to ceiling to witness the per- | formance of a fairy spectacle, then in ! its 100th night, the "Sept Filles du DI- 1 able," founded on some fanciful east- j ern story. It was a tawdry piece.with ! innumerable ballets, processions, pa-j geants, varied with certain scenes of I horse-play, in which a corpulent low j comedian, a great popular favorite,was j conspicuous. Caussidiere was charmed, concentrating his admiring eyes part'. cularly on one black-eyed, thicklypainted lady, who personated a fairy prince and sang "risky" songs, with topical allusions and dancing accompaniments, in a very high shrill voice, to the great rapture of the assembled Parisians. At the end of the third act Caussidiere left his seat and strolled round to the back of the theater. H A P I f (A KIT) / l A P n t H V I « • « . looks very different from tha JyAJiJH.

"Ah, yes!", "Let them hasten! I hope they will come soon. I shall not be sorry for one, if they burn Paris to the grotmd!" "Why do you say that?" cried hfarjorie. shocked at the speaker's tones as well as the words. "Let them burn Paris, and me with the rest of the people; it will be well!** said Adele, in a low voice, very bitterly. 'The bonfire is ripe, madame! But," she added, "I should be sorry !f any harm eame to you or to the child. Borne day, perhaps—who knows?—I may be able to serve you. Will you remember that?" "What do you mean?" exclaimed Marjorie. "You are a strange woma*; you " **I am what 1 arc; sometimes I think I am a devil, not a woman at nil. Good-by."

CHAPTER XXVII. ^AfiSINQ the Cerbe rus of the stage door, by whom he seemed to be well known, Caussidiere soon found himself "behind the scenes," and pushed his way through a contused throng of supernumeraries, figurantes and stage carpenters till he reached the greenroom.. Here he found many of the performers lounging about and standing in the "Fak*** Cotton Plant. ECBNTLY t h e r e * * ^sUSiUy appeared in the N. | f t t C J§ 3¾¾¾. Y.

The man in Georgia that Is growing it would sell aeeds as low as five cents apiece. The Farmers' Review sent the clipping to the Georgia Experiment station, and received a reply in the line it expected, namely that the so-called wonderful plant was merely a very ordinary cotton plant that was probably palmed off on the present Georgia enthusiast by some local joker. Below we give the letter. Parenthetically we would caution our readers against believing any of the wonderful yarns that are conetantly appearing in the daily press about new agricultural plants of great value. The propagators are simply using the gullible city reporters to help advertise some worthless thing that they hope to make money out of by sales at fabulous prices. The letter follows: —Experiment, Ga., August 28, 1897. Editor Parmer's Review, Chicago, 111. I have yours of the 26th this a. m., enclosing clipping from a Chicago paper. In reply to your letter I beg to say that the article has simply a naked basis in fact—something to build upon. There is a gentleman named Jackson, who runs a small farm near Atlanta, and who Is engaged In booming a socalled African variety of cotton, etc., etc. After some difficulty. I succeeded in getting a few seeds of the cotton, of undoubted purity, and have now in progress an elaborate, competitive test, including 21 varieties of cotton, embracing most of our popular, prolific varieties, seeds of which are easily obtainable at from 50 cents to $1.50 per bushel. So far I note nothing peculiar in the cotton. The plants have an uplight habit of growth, and the fruit is produced on short fruit spurs, each containing from two to five bolls. Usu ally there is one or more long side branches that proceed out from the main stem near the ground. This habit, however, is not so Very remarkable. In fact It so happens that one of the varieties planted in the competitive test, and in rows adjacent to this "wonderful" cotton is very similar to the latter, but not growing so tall. At the close of the season I will make an exhaustive report of the test, which will be published in bulletin form. At present there Is no Indication that the yield will be even equal to the average yield of the other'20 varieties. A few bolls have already opened and show a staple of fair length and fineness, but not comparable to Sea Island cotton. There is now no possibility of any material improvement in the conditions and promise of any of the varieties. In other words the crop is practically sects that feed upon plant lice, the young of the Syrphus fly must be mentioned here. In nearly every colony of lice these little slug-like worms o» larvae can be seen. They move about, raising their heads high In the air, and striking here and there. Whenever an unlucky louse is touched it ia seised, held aloft until its juices have been sucked out, when its empty skin is cast aside, and the worm seeks others.

As Caussidiere appeared, the actor j greeted him by name with a loud laugh. j 'Welcome, mon enfant, welcome," he cried, shaking hands. "The Germans arc approaching, yet behold—we sifr- j vlve!" j The ladies now turned to Caussidiere, | who greeted them by their Christian names—Blanche, Rose, Ada, Adele, Sarah, and so on. He seemed to know them well, but, as he talked to them, looked round impatiently for some per- \ son who was not present. j {TO BE CONTINUED.)

Very truly, R. J. REDDING, Director. P.S.—The claim that the variety of cotton belongs to a different genus cannot, for a moment, be allowed. It is not even of a new species, but simply a variety of Gossypium herbaceum, and very probably of local (domestic) origin. Enemies of Plant Ue«» Plant lice, like most insects, have certain natural enemies that tend to keep thenr In check. Prominent amongtheae are the parasitic and predaceous insects. The former are very minute creatures, resembling wasps, which usually lay their eggs upon the lice. These eggs hatch into small maggots, which enter the bodies of the lice, iwhere they feed upon the body juices «ntil they are full grown. They then transform to pupae within the body of their host, from which they finally emerge by cutting a round hole through !the body of the louse. Close examination of a colony of most any louse will reveal several yellowish or brownish remains of individuals which have succumbed to parasitism. The predaceous insects live by actually feeding iupon the lice. The ladybirds or ladybugs are, by far. the most important '.factors in the destruction of plant lice. ;ss both the adults and young feed ravenously upon them. There is a notion prevalent in some parts of the state that ladybirds, in some way or other, prou'uoe plant lice.—Natural laws win not permit such a state of affairs. Like begets like in the insect world Just aa persistently aa it does in the higher animals. The progeny of a ladybird is always a ladybird like the pares* s»- The yosmg of tfce ladysir*. Michigan Frnit Growers Orgnalie. The fruit-growers at Pentwater, Mich., have taken the initiative step to protect their interests ia the way of handling fruits. A stock company has been organized with a capital of 15,000, the management to make contracts with strictly reliable dealers in such a way as to protect the growers, A detective service is contemplated to investigate all complaints of unfair'treatment of shippers and cause for complaints by the commission dealers against the farmers for any sharp or underhand practice on the part of the shipper. To make the work of the* company effective, farmers are being organized fnto local unions. The local unions report the names of their mem*- bers to the company and pay over a membership fee of one dollar each. The secretary of the local union ascertains the number of acres and condition of the different kinds of fruit to be shipped. All these facta will be recorded by the company's secretary, who will designate. the markets to which shipments should be made from each local union, so that none shall go to an over-stocked market. The company is determined to secure the best prices possible for union members, who are to pay one dollar each every three months to the company, in order to continue its beneficiaries. Several strong local, unions have been organized in Mason and Oceana counties^— Michigan Fruit Grower. U w and Grafting* A peculiar case came up before a judge in the county of Huron, Ont, in which the methods of a professional grafter were under examination. According to a report of the trial It appeared that Cooke of Clinton applied to Murdock, a farmer near Brucefield, to get grafting to do. Murdock asked his terms; Cooke said 5 cents a graft to Insure, or 3 cents each, cash, snd take your chance, says Michigan Farmer. Murdock said, go on; and Cooke grafted thirty-four trees, putting on, so he said, 3,400 grafts, at 3 cents each, $102. Murdock was staggered, but paid $20 on account, and then got some expert evidence, this evidence being that from $00 to 800 grafts were all that should have been put in. He therefore, when sued, paid $5 more into court, making $35 with the sum previously paid Cooke, and fought it out At the trial an armful of limbs from the orchard wast brought into court, and it was shownthat grafts had been put in decaying and broken limbs, and, in fact, everywhere a graft would stick, more for the purpose, as the judge said in dismissing the action, of running up a bill than for giving, the best results in fruit The judge said that the $25 which Murdock had paid was enough, and dismissed. the action with costs.

The 50,000 natives of the lower Congo who have been carrying these steamboats and all other freight around the cataracts are the very men who could not be Induced, eighteen years ago, to give a helping hand to Mr. Stanley. He wished to carry 1,830 man-loads, and he had only 190 Zanzibar and Loango porters for the work. Some of the natives would sell him a little of their time, but they would not carry his goods more than two or three miles beyond their homes. Stanley's faijure to secure the carriers he needed along the river delayed his work on the upper Congo for more than a year, and the labor question was the most perplexing problem with which he had to deal.

The pole was laised at two o'clock and when tbo flag was flung to the breeze the whole school*joined in singing and saluted the stars and stripes, before, adjourning to the school room tor the program. The program was opened by that glorious old song "America" and as they sang "Mv country 'tis ol tliee, sweet land of liberty" one could leel a new thrill of patriotism. Rev. Carl S, Jones then gave a short address on patroitism. He said among other things "It is a good thing when we raise the stars and stripes over the school rooxs. It was a good law requiring the beautifal stars and stripes, the emblem of liberty, to float over the schools of the land. * * * While old liberty bell, which rang in days gone bye, cannot ring now, every school bell in the land rings out liberty." He gave a good description of the flag—its colors and the meaning and w^ound up his address by giving the children and all to under* stand that toe flag stood for liberty, patriotism and purity. A class of boys sang "Yankee Doodle Dandy's Boys' 'with good effect and M iss Blanche -Graham gave a .recilation, also Prof. (J. L. Grimes. This was followed with a song, by a class of little girls and a lew appropriate remarks from Prof. Stephen Durfee, The exercises closed by a song "The Flag" by the school.

It is painful to read in the New York Evening Post (owned in England) day after day that the people of Europe look with unutterable scorn upon everything the people of this country do, themselves or through their representatives, and with effusive affection upon everything they unhappily omit; and the more so because the only possible remedy 1» the impossible one of immediately dying in the vain hope of getting themselves born again in some of the many European styles all of which are the only orthodox things. According to reliable statisticians, since 1S73 there have been cut in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota alone, 154,000,000,000 feet of lumber, board measure, besides 83,000,000,000 shingles and in the last three-fourthf* of that period about 200,000,000,000 feet, taking the whole country together. New York and Pennsylvania have, next to the three states just mentioned, large quantities of standing coniferous timber, and the amount left in the northern states is estimated at about 100,- 000,000,000 feet, or half as much as has been tut since about 1873. in the whole country, and yet there are persons who profess' to see no reason for national forest protection and forest reserves. A Russian journal that has recently come under o%r notice calls attention to the fact that for some twenty years past the Inhabitants of a malarial loisatity in the government of-Kharkov have used powdered crabs with great success in the case of fevers. The powder is prepared in the following way: Live crass are poured over with the ordinary whisky until they get asleep; then they are put on a bread pan in a hot oven, thoroughly dried and pulverised, and the powder passed through a fine sieve. One dose, a teaspoonful, is generally sufficient to cure the intermittent fever; in very obstinate cases a second dose is required. Each dose is Invariably preceded by a glass of aloe brandy as a, ptirt»tlyA_._.The powder is used in that locality in preference to quinine. So says the journal. We will not Touch for it. In an address at Ashfleld, Massachu-s setts, Prof. Charles Eliot Norton of Harvard University considered the "village hoodlum" and the means for his suppression. The "village hoodlum" makes himself more conspicuous than the "city tough." When he becomes sufficiently depraved to enjoy his bad eminence he Is a more •demoralising figure than his city cousm of the same tendencies, and he is more dangerous tp society inasmuch as the officers of the law in rural communities are generally less efficient than in cities. As a means of suppressing the "village hoodlum," Proteeor Norton suggested t i e organisation of a body of law-abidiag dttaans in eecli village or township to g4»e definite support to the constituted authorities in suppressing lawlessness in all ft* stages. By this it Is evident from other parts of the address the speaker meant particularly the suppreastoa of petty acts of lawlessness by youngsters who are the children of neglectful parents and who have In them the material of which full-fledged "village hoodlums* are ACOB had long since passed the hundred year milestone. In those times people were distinguished for longevity. In the centuries after, persons lived to great age. Galen, the most celebrated physician of his time, took so little of his own medicine, that he lived to one hundred and forty years. A man of undoubted veracity on the witness stand In England swore that he remembered an event one hundred and fifty year$ before. Lord Bacon speaks of a countess who had cut three sets of teeth, and died at one hundred and forty years'. Joseph Crele, of Pennsylvania, lived one hundred and forty years. In 1857 a book was printed containing the names of thirty-seven persons who lived 'one hundred and forty yearB, and the names of eleven persons who lived one hundred and fifty years. Among the grand old people of whom we have record was Jacob, the shepherd of the text. But he had a bad lot of boys. They were jealous and ambitious and every way unprincipled. Joseph, however, seemed to be an exception, but he had been gone many years, and the probability was that he was dead. As sometimes now in a house you will find kept at the table a vacant chair, a plate, a knife, a fork, for some deceased member of the family, so Jacob kept in his heart a place for his beloved Joseph. There sits the old man, the flock of one hundred and forty years in their flight having alighted long enough to leave the marks of their claw on forehead and cheek and temple. His long beard snows down over his chest. His eyes are somewhat dim, and he can see farther when they are closed than when they are open, for he can see clear back into the time when beautiful Rachel, hlB wife, was living, and his children shook the Oriental abode with their merriment. The centenarian is sitting dreaming over the past when he hears a wagon rumbling to the front door. He gets up and goes to the door to see who has arrived, and his long absent sons from Egypt come in and announce to him that Joseph, instead of being dead, is living in an Egyptian palace, with all the investiture of prime minister, next to the king in the mightiest empire of all the world! The news was too sudden and too glad for the old man, and his cheeks whiten, and he has a dazed look, and his staff fallB out of his hand, and he would have dropped had not the sons caught him and led him to a lounge and put cold water on his face, and fanned him a little. In that half delirium the old man mumbles something about his son Joseph. He says: "You don't mean Joseph, do you? my dear eon who has been dead so long? You don't mean Joseph, do you?" But after they had fully reaiiscitatftd hlm^_and__the news fresh to-day, in spite of the passage of a half century. Joseph was as fresh was confirmed, the tears began their winding way down the crossroads of the wrinkles, and the sunken lips of the old man quiver, and he brings his bent fingers together as he says: "Joseph is yet alive. I will go and see him before I die." - It did not take the old man a great while to get ready, I warrant you. He put on his best clothes^b&t the shepherd's wardrobe couldafford. He got Into the wagon, and though the aged are cautious and like to ride slow, the wagon did not get along fast enough for this old man; and when the wagon fr# with the old man met Joseph's chariot coming down to meet him, and Joseph got out of the chariot and got into the wagon and threw his arms around his father's neck, it was an antithesis of royalty and rusticity, of simplicity and pomp, of filial affection and paternal love, which leaves us so much in doubt whether we had better laugh or cry, that we do both. So Jacob kept the resolution of the text—"I will go and see him before I die." i What a strong and unfailing thing is paternal attachment! Was it not almost time for Jacob to forget Joseph? The hot suns of many Bummers had biased on the heath; the river Nile had overflowed and receded, overflowed and receded again and. again; the seed had been town and the harvests reaped; stars rose and set; years of plenty and years of famine had passed on; hut the love of Jacob for Joseph in my text Is overwhelmingly dramatic. Oh, that is a cord that Is not snapped, though pulled on by many decades. Though when the little child expired the parent may not have been more than twenty-five years of ace, and now they are seventy -five, yet the vision of the eradle, and the childish face, and the first utterances «C the iefanUle lips ars In Jaco^^B^«n^Qry~ar eYerrthtmgh seventeen yearn of age the boy had disappeared from the old homestead. I found in our family record the story of an infant that had died fifty years before, and I said to my parents: "What Is this record, and what does it mean?" Their chief answer was a long, deep sigh. It was yst to them a very tender sorrow. What does that all mean? Why, it means our children departed are ours yet, and that cord of attachment reaching across the years will hold us until It brings us together In the palace, as Jacob and Joseph were brought together. That ia one thing that makes old people die happy. They realise it is reunion with those from whom they have long been separated. I am often asked as pastor—and every pastor 1B asked the question— "Will my children be children in heaven and forever children?" Well, there was no doubt a great change in Joseph from the time Jacob lost him and the time when Jacob found him— between the boy of seventeen years of age and the man in mid-life, his forehead developed with the great business of state; but Jacob was glad to get back Joseph anyhow, and it did not make much difference to the old man whether the boy looked older or looked younger. And It will be enough joy for that parent if he can get back that son, that daughter, at the gate of heaven, whether the departed loved one shall come a cherub or In full-grown angelhood.

Joseph was Joseph notwithstanding the palace, and your child will be your child notwithstanding all the raining splendors of everlasting noon. What a thrilling visit was that of the old shepherd to the prime minister Joseph! I see the old countryman seated in the palace looking around at the mirrors and the fountains and the carved pillars, and oh! how he wishes that Rachel, his wife, was alive and she could have come with him to see their son in his great house. "Oh," says the old man within himself, "I do wish Rachel could be here to see all this!" I visited at the farm house of the father of Millard Fillmore when the son was president of the United States, and the octogenarian farmer entertained me until 11 o'clock at night telling me what great things he saw in his son's house at Washington, and what Daniel Webster sp.id to him, and how grandly Millard treated his father in the White House. The old man's face was Illumined with the story until almost midnight. He had just been visiting his son at the capltol. , And I suppose it was something of the same joy that thrilled the heart of the old shepherd as he stood in the palace of the prime minister. It is a great day with you when your old parents come to visit you. Your little children stand around with great wide-open eyes, wondering how anylbody could be so old.

I have officiated at obsequies of aged people where the family have been so inordinately resigned to Providence that I felt like taking my text from Proverbs, "The eye that mocketh at his father, and refuseth to obey its mother, the ravens of the vattey shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it." In other words, such an ingrate ought to have a flock of crows for pallbearers. I congratulate you if you have the honor of providing for aged parents.

An Illinois farmer came to Chicago not long ago with a shipment of sheep that looked like they had done nothing all their lives but run from dogs. After loafing around nearly a week he persuaded a buyer to take them off his hands at a price a trifle over the freight charges. "Pity they aren't blackfaced," said the buyer. "The blackfaoed breed alw a y s command, a premium; seems to dress out nicer." The farmer did some lightning calculating and then said he would come up In a week with Just what was wanted. H e kept his word and arrived here on Saturday. He&hunted up his buyer, a m a n named Edwards, and showed his forty blackfaced sheep and a lot of the ordinary run. The blackfaced brought about a quarter of a cent a pound more than the m a r k e t called for. Later in the day Edwards found a purchaser for his blackfaced stock. "I never saw a blackfased sheep with •pots of white under his eyes and streaks around the nose," said the prospective taker. Edwards had not noticed the white • p o t s before. He went into the pen, caught one of the animals, and when h e rubbed his hand over its faee the black peeled off.

Twelve years ago a woman r e s l d e i l Of North Tonawanda, N. Y., ran a needle into one of her toes. A small piece of steel broke off. It was never extracted. Some time afterward she became a semi-invalid. Her mind as well a s her body suffered and she developed melancholia. Severe pains attacked her. They were particularly extreme in her side. One day she disc o v e r e d a small red blotch on her side. It w a s opened. A half-inch of discolored puss-encrusted steel was found.

The colonel never explained how he got his title, but he always insisted on being addressed by that title. On one occasion.the colonel employed a lawyer to attend a trifling matter for him and promised a speedy settlement of the account. Time went by and the colonel failed to keep h i s word. The lawyer stirred the colonel up about it the next time he saw him in town, and the upshot of it was that the colonel agreed to send the lawyer a dozen bushels of the finest apples in Ohio. But no apples come to the lawyer. One day bo saw—the colonel in -town and immediately bore down on him for an explanation. He got it. The colonel, taking his friend by the lapel of his coat, said impressively: "Mr. Williams, I fully expected tt, send you those apples.

There is in New Orleans a negro woman, according to the chief newspaper of the Crescent City, who has deeply rooted if not very clear ideas about the Bible, among them being the conviction that while God wrote s o m e parts of the great book, men put in other portions. One t h i n g which God wrote sure enough, says the article, is the story of the Tower of Babel. "Yassir, yaseir. God writ dat," s h e s a y s ; "no d o u b t 'bout dat bein' writ by God Hisself.

On Tuesday of this week, the patrons of the Michigan Condensed Milk factory met in the court room at Howell to discuss the milk problem and the whys and wherefores of tbe reduction in price, and to get at, if possible, some means of peaceably returning to a price that would pay. There were at least two hundred farmers present and everything mov* ed off smoothly although there seems to be a great deal ot dissatisfaction in regard to the price paid by the condensed factory. Tbiy were called to order at 10:30 a. m. and formed a temporary organization, with Wm. Horton chairman, and Freeman Fishbeck secretary. The chair upon motion appointed H. W. Morton, Thos. Rice, John Bradley, Josephus Lare and Wm. V. D. Cook as committee on resolutions and Franklin Smith, Hiram Reed and John Clements committe on organization after which they adjourned until 1:30 p. m.

I am very well pleased with my relations with the milk factory hut would be glad to get back to tbe old prices. Personally, I am inclined to let things take care of themselves.

British Back Out of the Heal Conference. T h e officials of the British foreign office have communicated to U. S. Ambassador Hay the final decision t h a t the government of Great Britain must refuse to take part in any sealing conference w i t h representatives of Russia and Japan. The British government, however, assorts its willingness to confer with the United States alone. Diplomats consider that Great Britain's course w a s nut courteous to Russia and Japan. Uncle Sam HurprUed at John JJoll. Secretary Sherman has written a reply to the note of Lord Salisbury expressing Great Britain's declination to take part in the Bering sea seal conference if Russia and Japan are to participate, Mr. Sherman states that the U. S. government views w i t h astonishment this determination of Great Britain, and says that up to S e p t 23 the U. S. authorities had fully expected that the conference would proceed with Russia and Japan, as well as Great Britain, present. It is pointed out t h a t aside from the written correspondence to which Lord Salisbury had called attention, there were verbal negotiations between Ambassador Hay and his lordship, in which specific reference was made to the participation of Russia and Japan. Besides the foregoiilg reply, and in view of the differences . w h i c h have arisen, Mr. Sherman s u g g e s t s a conference between experts of the United States, Great Britain and Canada. In the meantime preparations for the conference between the United States, Russia and Japan are proceeding and it will be well under way before the close of this month. If Great Britain persistently refuses to come to any agreement on the sealing controversy, it is h i g h l y probable that the retaliatory measures against Canada wil 1 be recommended to congress, for, unless England pledges herself to assist the United States in protecting fur seals, there is no other course which will prevent the Canadian fishermen in the Bering sea from continuing their merciless slaughter. It is probable also t h a t Russia and Japan would join in retaliatory measures. N E W 8 Y C O N D E N S A T I O N S . Americans Implicated. The N e w York Journal confesses that t w o young men, commissioned to secure the liberty of Senorita Cisneros by assisting her to escape, were employed by that paper; that they rented a house adjoining the jail; that they managed to send a note, a file and a box of drugged candy to the young woman, notwithstanding she was in communicado. Miss Cisneros divided the candy among her fellow prisoners and t h e y soon fell into a stupor; she then cut one of the bars of a window which faced a window of the house adjoining the jail; she was then assisted into t h a t house and w a s shortly placed in a carriage and driven t o a w a i t i n g vessel and was soon on her w a y to the United States.

Seen closely, she was a young woman of about flve-and-twcnty, with bold, black eyes, and a petulant mouthK significant of ill-temper. Directly she saw him she tossed her head and made a grimace. "So it is you!" she cried. "I thought you were dead, and burled." "And you did not mourn me?" returned Caussidiere, softly, with his most winning smile. "Well, I have come to ask you to sup with me tonight at the Cafe des Trente Etoiles." "I shall not come! I am engaged!" "Nonsense, Seraphine! You will come." "Of course she will come," cried the low comedian, breaking in. "My children, live in amity while you can, and drink of the best, for the Germans are approaching. Papa Corbert commands you—be merry, my children, while you may. Seraphine, Caussidiere is a king tonight; you will join him and drink confusion to the enemies of France." "Why did you not come before?" demanded Seraphine, sharply. "It Is a week since I have seen you. Were you nursing the baby at home?" "Ah, Caussidiere is a model husband," exclaimedMademoisolleBlanche; "he rocks the ci^dYe and goes to bed at ten." "Ladies," said Corbert, with mock solemnity, "I conjure you not to jest.cn such a subject. I am a family man rayself, as you are aware. Respect the altar! Venerate the household! And since the Germans are approaching—" "Bother the Germans!" interrupted Seraphine. "Let them come and burn Paris to the ground. I should not care. I tell you, Caussidiere, I have an engagement." "Don't believe her!" cried Corbert. "Seraphine will sup with you. She loves Brunet's oyster pates too well to deny you. Think of it, my child!

When the meal was done and the waiter had brought in the coffee, the pair sat side by side, and Caussidiere's arm stole round the lady's waist. "Take your arm away," she cried, laughing. "What would Madame Caus sidiere say if she saw you?" Caussidiere's face darkened. "Never mind her," he returned. "Ah, but I do mind! You are a bad man, and should be at home with your wife. Tell me, Caussidiere," she continued, watching him keenly, "does she know how you pass the time?" "She neither knows nor heeds," replied Caussidiere. "Shejsj^jJiild^andstupTdTlmd does not concern herself with what she does not understand.** Seraphlne's manner changed. The smile passed from her face, and the cor. ners of her petulant mouth came down. Frowning, she lighted a cigarette, and, leaning back, watched the thin blue wreaths of smoke as they curled up toward the ceiling. "What are you thinking ofV* asked Canssidiere, tenderly.

"Seraphine!" "Is she your wife, or is she not?** "She is not, my angel.'% "Then you are free! Answer me truly; no falsehoods, if you please." "I will tell you the simple truth,** replied Caussidiere, sinking his voice and nervously glancing toward the door. "In one sense, look you, I am married; in another, I am not married at all" "What nonsense you talk! Do you think I am Insane?" "I think you are an angel.** "Pshaw! Take your arm away." "Listen to me, Seraphine. The affair is very simple, as I will show you." "Bien! Goon!" "In a moment of impulse, for reasons which I need not explain, I married her of whom you speak, according to the English law. It was a foolish match, I grant you. and I have often repented It from the. moment when I met you." "Aprea?" murmured Seraphine, with a contemptuous shrug of, her little shoulders. "Apres?s Well, the aCair j . dear enough. 1 am a Seraphine!" He looked at her smilingly, with an expression of wicked meaning. She returned the look, laughing petulant* ly. "What of that?" she asked. "Do you not perceive? So long as I remain in my mother country, where no ceremony has taken place, this person is not my wife at all. The law is very convenient, is it not? A marriage in England with an English subject is no marriage unless it has been properly ratified in France." "Oh.but you are traitreux," she cried. "It is abominable. Why do you not do what is right, and acknowledge her according to the French law." "For a very good reason. There is some one I love better, as you know."- But the actress drew herself angrily away. "You love no one. You have no love in your heart. I tell you, Leon, I am sorry for her and for her child. There is a child, too, is there not?" "Yes," replied Caussidiere; "Does she know, this poor betrayed, what you have just told me?" "Certainly not. It would only—distress her!" "It is infamous!" exclaimed Seraphine. _ "Not at all," he answered. "She is very happy in her ignorance, I assure you. When the time comes, and it may come when you please, I will tell her the truth and she will quietly go home." There was a long pause. Seraphine continued to smoke., her cigarette and to glance from time to time with no very admiring eagerness at her companion. It was clear that the frank confession of his villainy had not raised him in her esteem. Seeing her coldness, and anxious to change the subject, he rang for the waiter and ordered the bill. While that document was being prepared he opened his purse and looked into it. The act seemed to remind him_of something he had forgotten. He felt in the pocket of his coat, and drew forth a small cardboard box. - — "I have something to show you," he said, smiling. Seraphine glanced up carelessly. "What is it, pray?" "It is this," replied Caussidiere,open<- ing the box and showing a gold bracelet richly wrought. "Do you think it pretty? Stay! Let me try it on your arm!" So saying, he clasped the bracelet on Seraphine's left wrist. Holding out her arm, she looked at it with assumed carelessness.but secret pleasure, for she was~ a true daughter of the theater, and loved ornament of any kind. "I see," she said, slyly. "A little present for madame!" "Diable! No, it is for you—if you will accept it" "No, thank you. Please take it away. Lwlll not take what belongs will throw it into the to another.' "Then I street!" At this moment the waiter returned with the bill. It amounted to a considerable sum, and when Caussidiere had settled it, and liberally feed the bringer, there was very little left in the purse. "You will wear the bracelet for my sake," said Caussidiere, softly, as he assisted theactress to put on her cloak. "No, no," answered Seraphine, but without attempting to take the bracelet off. "Apropos, Leon, where do you YOU do not work mATH.

Ever since she first dame to the studio, just three days before,Ade)e had watched the young man vary curiously. His behavior interested her. Ha seldom spoke, but worked at his picture with quiet pertinacity, Presently the young fellow dropped his brush and walked silently from the room. Adele turned her eyes upon her companion. "Who is your friend, monsieur?" she asked abruptly. The artist, deeply engaged In his work, failed at first to notice her question. "Who is he?" she asked again. "Her "Yes; the young man who works always and never speaks." ''He is a friend." "Naturally, monsieur, since he shares your studio. But where does be come from?" The artist smiled. "You seem curious about him, mademoiselle," he said. "What do you wish to know concerning him?" The girl shrugged her shoulders. "Wish to know!" she exclaimed. "Ma foi! I have no wish to know, monsieur." "Then I don't mind telling you. He is a countryman of mine. He was born in a village near where I was born. I knew him when he was a boy; and -when he came "to Paris "a few menths ago, determined to work hard and compelled to live on slender means, I offered to share my studio with him, and he is here. There, you have lost your fierce look and got quite a tame one Into your eyes. You are no longer a wild creature of the Revolution. You are also stiff, I perceive. Take a few turns about the rooms, mademoiselle, then we will go on." The artist walked over to a table littered with all kinds of debris, filled a well-colored briar-root pipe, and began to smoke. He was a tall man, slight in build, rather good-looking, but very carelessly dressed; when he walked, he did so with a slight limp, though he appeared to have well-knit limbs; and when he spoke French^, ha did so with a very strong insular aofteatuation.

"I wish I were twenty times as rich, for your sake!" cried Caussidiere, evading the question. "Ah, my Seraphine, I adore you!" He drew her toward him and kissed her on the lips. The present of the bracelet had prevailed.and she suffered the salute patiently; but there was an expression in her face which showed that she rated her admirer exactly at his true worth. A few minutes later Caussidiere, with the actress hanging, on his arm, gayly quitted tbe cafe.

We do not learn that the pautictans made any protest; but In soine states such a call would indicate that the projector planned to unite all the flnanciers.orators and statesmen, and start a winning political party. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands has dismissed the princeling picked out by her mother, and affirm that she means to wait until 1899— when she will be nineteen years o l d - end then choose a husband for herself. What the Dutch statesmen think, is not reported, but all young ladies of Wilhelmlna's age are convinced that, under such a queen, Holland will be a good country to live in. There has been a meeting of the Emperor of Germany and the King of Italy at Horn burg, with the usual accompaniment of banquets, toasts and military reviews. Emperor William's speech was noticeable for the emphasis which he placed upon the Dreibund —the alliance between Germany, Austria and Italy—and his declaration that it stands "unshakable and firm." King Humbert's reply was cordial, but less emphatic. • • Another tribute to American manufacturing superiority is conveyed by the announcement that Japan is about to .abandon the English steel rail on her imperial railway, and substitute for it the heavier American rail, known as the Pennsylvania standard. Japan is a wide-awake country, with keen commercial instincts, and her preference for American manufactures, if sufficiently encouraged, may do much to chang* the existing trade relations in the far East. The late Sir Isaac Holden, who died recently la England at the age of ninety- one, had an interesting career. He was the son of a working miner, and began work himself at the age of ten, but his thirst for knowledge led him to seize every opportunity of study. He Invented the lucifer match while teaching in a school at Reading. Before he was thirty he had made Important Inventions in woolen machinery, and he soon became the head of an enormous manufacturing business which now employs four thousand workmen in its factories in England, France and Belgium. • His habits of life were simple, and his -conduct was shaped by strong religious convictions. OlNG at the rate of forty miles the hour a few days ago I caught this sermon. If you have recently been in the fields of Pennsylvania, or New Jersey,or New York, or New England, or any of the country districts, you know that corn is nearly all cut. The sharp knife struck through the stalks and left them all along the fields until a man came with a bundle of straw and twisted a few of these wisps of straw into a band, and then gathering up as 'much of the corn as he could compass Wijth his arms, he bound it with this {wisp of straw, and then stood it in the 'field in what is called a shock. I It is estimated that there are now 'several billion bushels of corn standing in the shock, waiting to be husked. Sometime during the latter part of next month, the farmers will gather, one day on one farm, another day on another farm, and they will put on their rough Quaking apron, and they will' take the husking peg, which is a piece of iron with a leather loop fastened to the hand, and with it unsheath the cor •from the husk and toss it into the golden heap. Then the wagons will come along and take it to the corn ;crib.

The/rees having for the most part shed their foliage, ;the farmers waded through the fallen leaves and came through the keen The official figures of the worktag In Germany for the year 1896 of the system of compulsory cooperative insurance have made their appearance, and they show the number of persons so insured to have been 18.SS9.000, of whom 3,409,- 000 were employes In shops or factories, 12,290,000 were agricultural laborers, and 690,000 employes were of the state. The number of accidents to the insured was 74,897, of which 6,448 terminated fataljy. The expense of the ro-opfxa morning air to the gleeful company The frosts which had/silvered everything during the night began to melt oft of the top of the corn shocks. 'While the farmers/were waiting for jothers, they stood blowing their breath through their flngers.or threshing their jafma. arounds their body to keep up (Warmth of circulation. j Roaring mirth greeted the late farmer as he crawled over the fence. Joke ,and repartee and rustic salutation abounded. All ready, now! The men take hold the shock of corn, and hurl jit prostrate, while the moles and mice .which have secreted themselves there for warmth attempt escape. The withe of straw is unwound from the corn 'shock, and the stalks, heavy with the wealth of grain, are rolled into two bundles, between which the husker sits down. Tne husking peg is thrust in until it strikes the corn, and then the fingers rip off the sheathing of the ear, and there is a crack as the root of the corn is snapped off from the husk, and the grain, disimprisoned, Is hurled up into the sunlight. The air is so tonic, the work is so very exhilarating, the company is so blithe, that some laugh, and some shout and some sing, and some banter, and some tease a neighbor for a romantic ride along the edge of the woods in an eventide, in a carriage that holds-but two, and some prophesy as to the number of bushels to the field, and others go into competition as to which shall rifle the most corn shocks before sundown. After a while, the dinner horn sounds from the farmhouse, and the table is surrounded by a group of jolly and It is moving out of a cold vestibule in- of glass mingled with fire.

It is a change ot manacles for garlands. It la the transmuting of the iron handcuffs ot earthly incarceration into the diamonded wristleteof a bridal party; or to use the suggestion of my text, it Is only husking time. It is the tearing off of the rough sheath of the body that the bright and the beautiful soul may go free. Coming in "like a shock of corn cometh in in his season." Christ broke up a funeral procession at the gate of Nain by making a resurrection day for a young man uud his mother. And I would that I could broak up your sadness, and halt the long funeral procession of the -world's grief by some cheering and cheerful view of the last transition. We all know that husking time was a time of frost. Frost on the fence, Frost on the stubbie. Frost on the ground. Frost on the bare branches Of the trees. Frost in the air. Frost on the hands of the huskers. You remember we used to hide behind the corn stacks so as to keep off the wind, but still you remember how shivering was the body and how painful was the cheek, and how benumbed were the hands. ' But after awhile the sun was high up.and ull the frosts went out of the a^r, and hilarities awakened the echoes aud joy from one corn shock weni up, "Aha, aha!" and was answered by/joy from another corn shock, 'Aha, aha!" I So we realize that the death of our [/friends is the nipping of many expectations, the freezing, the chilling, the frosting of many of our hopes. It Is far from being a south wind. It comes from the frigid north, and when they go away from us we stand benumbed in body and benumbed in mind and benumbed in soul. We stand among our dead neighbors, our dead families, and we say, "Will we ever get over it?" Yes, we will get over it amid the shoutings of heavenly reunion, and we will look back to all these distresses of bereavement only as the temporary distresses of husking time. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." "Light, and but for a moment,-' said the apostle as he clapped his hands, "light, and but for a moment." The chill of the frosts followed by the gladness that cometh in "like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season." * * * Perhaps now this may be an answer to a question which I asked one Sabbath morning, but did not answer: Why is it that so many really good people have so dreadfully'to suffer? You often find a good man with enough pains and aches and distresses, you would think, to discipline a whole colony, while you find-a man who is perfectly usejess going about with easy digestion and steady nerves and shining health, and his exit from the world is comparatively painless. How do you explain that? Well, I noticed in the husking time that the husking peg was thrust into the corn and then there must be a stout pull before the swathing was taken off of the ear, and the full, round, healthy, luxuriant corn was developed; while on the other hand there was corn that hardly seemed worth husking. We threw that into a place all by Itself and we called It "nubbins." Some of it was mildewed, and some of it was mice nibbled, and some of it was great promise and no fulfilment. All cobs and no corn. Nubbins! After the good corn had been driven up to the barn we came around with the corn basket and we picked up these nubbins- They were worth saving, but not worth much. So all around us there are people who amount to nothing. They develop into no kind of usefulness. They are nibbled on one side 0UK liUDttliT Oi FCTN. hungry men.

Whether OB account of the growth of the manufacturing industries or for some other reason, the number ot accidental deaths la a year _ larger In Germany than in any other country of Earope, and presumably, though there are no authentic Hgnres in connection with the matter, the number ot accidents -not resulting fatally is larger in Germany than in any other European country,too. Under tne German system a workingman who pays the equivalent of 40 cents a week for three years, if he begins before the age of 20, receives, on attaining the age of 66, the sum of $77. The German compulsory insurance system divides me annual premium into three equal parts, one paid by the workman, one by his employer and one by the state. In other countries in which efforts have been made to establish on the place the richest dainties come, and there is carnival and neighborhood reunion, and a scene which fills our memory, part with smiles but more with tears as we remember that the They are worth saving. I suppose many of them will get to heaven, but farm belongs now to other owners, and other hands gather in the fields, and many of those who mingled in that merry husking scene have themselves been reaped "like as a stock ot oerh cometh in in his season." There Is a difference of opinion as to whether the Orientals knew anything about the corn as it stands in our fields; but recent discoveries have found out that the Hebrew knew all about Indian maize, for there have been grains of the corn picked up out of ancient crypts and exhumed from hiding places where they were put down many centuries ago, and they have been planted in our time and have come up just such Indian maize as we raise in New York and Ohio; so I am right when I say that my text may refer to a shock of corn just as you and I bound it, just as you and I threw it, just as you and I huaked i*. There may come some practical-and co-operative accident insurance the re- . ^$^ and comforting lessons to all turns have not been so favorable as in Germany. In France, for instance, where the number of employes in factories is large, though not so large as In Germany, the total receipts from premiums from accident insurance policies last year were only about one- \ Quarter of the sum realised in Gertaanr our souls, while we think ot coming in at last "like a shock of corn coming in in his season." It Is high time that the King ot Terrors were thrown out of the Christian vocabulary. A vast multitude of people talk ot death as though it were the disaster of disasters instead ot being to a pood man the blessing jf they are not worthy to be mentioned in the same day with those who went through great tribulation into the kingdom of our God. Who would not rather have the pains of this lite, the misfortunes of this life—who would not rather be torn, and wounded, and lacerated, and wrenched, and husked and at last go in amid the very best grain ot the granary, than to be pronounced not worth husking at all? Nubbins! In other words, I want to say to you people who have distress of body, and j distress in business and distress of all sorts, the Lord has not any grudge { against you. It is not derogatory, it is complimentary. "Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth," and it is proof positive that there it something valuable in you, or the Lord would not have \ husked you. Now,in heaven all their offensivenws has. been, iiusked off. Each one is as happy as he can be. Every one he meets as happy as he can be. Heaven one great neighborhood reunion. All kings and Queens, all songsters, all millionaires, all banqueters. God, the Father, with his Children all around him. No "good by" in all the air. No grave cut in all the hills. River of crystal rolling e*er bed of pearl, under arch of chrysoprasus, Into the sea the light, out of the tearing and th« ripping and the twisting and the wrenching and the lacerating and the husking time of earth into the wide open door of the king's granary, "like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season." Yes, heaven, a great sociable, with joy like the joy of the husking time. No one there feeling so big he declines to speak to some one who is not so large. Archangel willing to listen to smallest cherub. No bolting of the door of caste at one heavenly mansion to keep out the citizen of a smaller mansion. No clique in one corner, whispering about a clique in another corner. David taking none of the airs ot a giant killer. Joshua making no one halt until he passes, because he made the sun and moon hajt. Paul making no assumptions over the most ordinary preacher of righteousness. Naaman, captain of the Syrian host, no more honored than the captive maid who told him where he should get a good doctor. O! my BOUI, what a country! The humblest man a king. The poorest woman a queen. The meanest house a palace. The shortest life time eternity. And what is more strange about it all is, we may all get there. "Not I," says some one standing back under the galleries. Yes.you. "Not I," says some one who has not been in church in fifteen years before. Yes, you. "Not I," says some one who has been for fifty years filling up his life with all kinds of wickedness. Yes, you. There are monopolies on earth, monopolistic railroads and monopolistic telegraph companies, and monopolistic grain dealers, but no monopoly in religion. All who want to be saved may be saved, "without money and without price." Salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ for all the people. Of course, use common sense in this matter. You cannot expect to get to Charleston by taking ship for Portland, and you can not expect to get to heaven by going in an opposite direction. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Through that one gate of pardon and peace all the race may go In. "But," says some one, "do you really think I would be at home in that supernal society if I should reach it?" I think you would. I know you would. I remember that in the husking time there was a great equality of feeling among the neighbors. There at one corn shock a farmer would be at work who owned two hundred acres of ground. The man whom he was talking with at the next corn shock owned but thirty acres of ground, and perhaps all covered by a mortgage. That evening, at the close, of the husking day, one man -drove home a roan span, so frisky, so full of life, they got their feet over the traces. The other man walked home. Great difference in education, great difference in worldly means; but I noticed at the husking time they all seemed to enjoy each other's society. They did not ask any man how much property he owned cr what his education had been. They all seemed to be happy together in those good times. And So it will be in heaven. Our Father will gather his children around him, and the neighbors will come in, and the past will be rehearsed. And some one will tell of victory, and we will all celebrate it. And some one will tell of great struggle, and we will all praise the grace that fetched him out of it. And some one will say, "Here is my old father, that I put away with heartbreak. Just look at him, he is as young as any of us." And some one will say, "Here is my darling child. that I buried in Greenwood, and all the after years of my life were shadowed with desolation. Just look at her! She doesn't seem as if she had been } sick a minute." Great sociality. Great neighborhood kindness.

Edward Gibbon, the great historian, sat in parliament for many years, but : achieved no success in the house. One morning, he tells us, "as he was destroying an army of barbarians," a knock came to the door, and the tempter appeared In the shape of a friend offering to secure him a seat in parliament tor. the borough of Liskeard. Gibbon represented the borough tor ten years (1774-1783) without ever openln* his mouth; and once when moved to 4 o so he lacked the confidence to carry him through. The great speakers filled him with despair, and the bad ones with terror. He grew heart tired ot "this parliamentary prattle" and of "the noise and nonsense ot the Pandemonium," as he terms parliament la his letters. Squire—"Is it a fast horse, Eras- Itus?"

Thirty years ago I had nervous prostration while in the army, where I served for I over four years. I think it was during i this service that the seeds were sown which ' have caused all my trouble. Severe bilious attacks bothered me, and at such times my kidneys were worse. It is almost impossible to describe the pain which so often lamed me. I have been so lame that to stand up after I had been sitting down required a great exertion. Walking was at times an impossibility, even at night I did not rest, being forced to get up during the night. I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and wondered if they could make an almost lame man well. I got some; and soon after taking them began to feel their good effects. I used them for some time, m y lameness all left me and I have not felt It since.

While failures the past quarter were the smallest ever known In any Quarter ainoe 1892, business payments through banks were the largest by «8,(WO.OOJ ever known In September. Business 1« stttl ^ncreaatni:, the productive force steadily enlarges the distribution of wages, affords an increasingfund for purchases, and the foundations are laid for a larger business hereafter. Crop reporters who have widely differed now agree in putting the yield of wheat at about &gj,oje,<>jO bu, which Is nearly SJO,090,OJ* bu more than will be required for home use, keeping stocks as they were July 1, the lowest For seven years, As foreign reports Indicate a larger demand, and exports ainoe July l have been nearly as heavy as la the beat past vear— with 2,*'»,784 bu from Atlantic ports the past week, against tMtJWi last year—the recoverr in price isaccounted for. Savfral months ago, t h s Japanata Taa Guild sent to this country a special commission, composed of Mr. 8. Mit- •uhaahl, president of ShUuoka Prefeetural Assembly, and Mr. J. Ohara.member of Japaneae parliament, to Investigate t h e condition of the Japaneae taa trade i n the United States and Canada, and t o co-operate with Mr. T. F u m y a and Mr. T. Mizutany, t h e American representatives of the Japaneae Tea Guild, In giving publicity t o the merits of Japanese teas and the method of preparing them for drinking wL.ch would Insure the best results. Mr. Puruya and Mr. Mizutany are planning to open t e a bazars in many of the principal cities i n the United States and Canada, where ladies can enjoy a cup of fine Japaneae t e a made by experts, and a t the same time receive instructions which will enable them t o make It equally well at home. More than half t h e t e a consumed i n the United States and Canada Is of Japanese growth, yet, the majority of Americans apparently do not understand how to prepare it so as to develop the delicious qualities which It contains. It is believed by these gentlemen that when Americans are In possession of the secret of making good tea, the consumption in this country will fully equal t h a t of Europe in proportion. T h e Japanese government has appropriated a large fund to aid the Japanese tea growers and tea merchants in prosecuting this educational work, and It is hoped that American ladies will be apt students. The main bureau of the Japanese Tea Guild has issued an official recipe for making Japanese tea, the translation of which is as follows: First—Use a small,dry and thoroughl y clean porcelain t e a p o t Second—Put in o n e teaspoonful of tea leaves for each c u p of tea desired. Third—When using Japanese teas, pour o n the required quantity of fresh boiled water, and let stand with closed lid from 2 to 3 minutes. Never boil t h e leaves. In order t o retain the natural flavor, Japanese tea leaves should be kept In tight c a n or jar, free from moisture. Note.—-To thoroughly enjoy t h e natural, delicate, and s w e e t flavor of Japaneae teas, neither sugar nor cream should be used. —CTesuli uses begins within.—ffarmaVunVT d e a n inside, he is far from Godliness.
