It rained bard for a couple of hours while in Detroit, but the sun soon came out and made things bright and fresh, Everyone did all they could towards seeing the sights in the city but failed to see halt of the beauties of the City of The Straits.

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.

Dana Dead. Charles A. Dana, editor of the York Sun, died at his home in Cove, L. I., at the age of 78. Mr. Danu's death had been expected for several hours and his family and physicians were at his bedside when the end came. The cause of Mr. Dana's death was cirrhosis of the liver. On June 9 he was at the office apparently strong and healthy. The next day he was taken ill and he never afterward visited New York. By the death of Charles Anderson Dana America loses one of the most brilliant journalists she has ever known. He was born Aug. 8, 1819, and entered the newspaper business in the '40s as a reporter on the Boston Chronotype. In 1847 he became city editor of Horace Greeley's New York Tribune and was later European correspondent during the troublous times in France in 1848-9. Soon after the civil war begun Mr. Dana severed connections with Mr. Greeley owing to differences on questions pertaining to the conduct of the war. Mr. Dana was appointed to several positions in the state department and finally President Lincoln made him assistant secretary of war. When the war was over he wentr to Chicago, and for a year acted as editor of the Republican. Then he returned to New York and organized the company which • now publish's t'ne New York Sun. The Sun was already au old-established journal, having first appeared in 1833, but Mr. Dana's own work and the picked men he placed about him at oncis transformed it into the leading paper of the day and established a reputation and a circulation which has since been the envy of all the other metropolitan newspapers. Historic Canadian Town Destroyed. Historic Windsor, one of the most beautiful towns in Nova Scotia, was devasted by fire, which, fanned by a violent northwest gale, raged so fiercely that the local fire department was absolutely helpless to cope with it. Within six hours the town bad been eaten almost completely, the area covered by the flames being nearly a mile square, and of the 400 and more buildings occupying the section barely half a dozen scorched structures remain, and over 3,000 people were rendered homeless. Fortunately no lives were lost, although the streets were perilous with flying timbers, bricks and slates, which the fierce hurricane drove like thunderbolts from the roofs. The total loss is estimated roughly at ¢3,000,000, and the total insurance is calculated to be not more than 9500,000. Tho Monitor's Admiral Dead. Admiral John L. Worden (retired) died at Washington after a brief illness of pneumonia, at the age of 80. He commanded the Monitor during its historic engagxnent with the Merrimac in Hampton Roads during the late war. In 1886 he was retired with full rank and pay of an admiral, the only instance of the kind. He also received the thanks of congress for his gallantry in the war. For nearly two-thirds of a century John L. Worden was in the U. S. navy, having been appointed a midshipman Jan. 20,1834. As an officer he rendered valuable services throughout the war, but the crowning achievement of his career was at Hampton Beads, March 9, 1862, when he commanded the, famous Monitor in duel with and defeat of the Confederate ram Merrimac Opera B O O H Celling Dropped.

Great Britain Opposes Bimetallism. London: The Times in its financial article says it believes that the cabinet -hasdecided to decline to reopen Jthe Indian mints or to enter au international monetary conference. Other papers echo the opinions of the Times in congratulating the government upon "finally disposing of the bimetallic scare," and expressing regret that it should "ever even have seemed to receive support in high quarters." . The United States bimetallic monetary commissioners have received np official information regarding the action taken by the British cabinet, but private advices convince them that the cabinet has dealt the death blow to their mission. The commissioners believe their failure means that no further effort in behalf of bimetallism will be m;ule for many years to come. They attribute the refusal of Great Britain to participate in an international agreement to the opposition of the bankers and the London Times. Later. — Lord Salibbury has sent to Ambassador Hay the reply of the British government to the proposals of the American bimetallic special commission headed by Senator Wolcott It is a diplomatically worded note and states that he regrets the inability to accede to the proposals of the American commissioners. George M. Poilman Dead. George M. Pullman, president of the great Pullman Palace Car Co. and founder of the town of Pullman, 111., died very suddenly of heart disease, at his home at Chicago. George Mortimer Pullman, was born in Chautauqua county, N. Y., March 3, 1831. At 13 he was a clerk in a country store, but soon afterward he began to learn cabinetmaking. At 22 be was engaged in the then novel business of raising and moving brick and stone buildings in Chicago. A ride in an old* fashioned sleeping car while on a trir to New York led him to experiment in huilding_a comfortable sleeping coach, and in 1865 the Pioneer, the first Pullman car, was hitched to a train and at once became popular with travelers. From this grew the great Pullman palace car system and the immense Pullman fortune. George Young, a farmer near Blue Earth City, Minn., shot and killed his wife, two boys, aged 2 and 4 years, and himself.

"My friend!" exclaimed the girl; "ah, no, monsieur, she is not that— •he is* too good for that—and if she used to be his friend, tell him he ought to help her. She wants some one's help." "Probably," returned the Scotchman; "but It's a dangerous thing, my girl, to interfere between husband and wife, and my friend will do -well to keep out of it. There, that, will do for this morning, Adele," he added, as she leaped from the rostrum; "take my advice, and say nothing of this incident to madame your friend. It may unsettle her, and make the end 0* her married life rather more' unbearable than the beginning of it." He lit up his pipe again and strolled carelessly about the studio until Adele had left. Then his manner suddenly changed; he left the studio, rushed up a flight of stairs, and entered the little snuggery above, where his companion was sitting, and clapped him on the shoulder. "Sutherland^ my boy," he exclaimed, "good news." Sutherland, awakened suddenly from his day-dream, started from his chair. "About Marjorle?" he cried. "Yes," returned his friend with a smile, "about Marjorle. I have been talking this morning with a woman who Is oae of her intimate friends." "Where Is she?" exclaimed Sutherland. "Let me see her." "Now, look here, my good fellow," returned the other, "you "must sit down and cease to excite yourself. Moreover, you must work cautiously, or my prize may turn out a blank. Yes, I have discovered In the model Adele one who may tell you just what you want to know—wfto is often in the house with Marjorle, who knows exactly how happy or how wretched •he may be, and who, if properly handled, may be made to. tell you all. But you must be careful, as I have said, for she is a rough creature, and might turn stubborn. She is gone now, but she will return tomorrow, and you shall talk to her. Think it over, and decide for yourself the best way to act." He descended to the studio, while Sutherland sank again into his chair to think of Marjorle. He spent a singularly restless night; the next morning he looked pale and harassed. But after breakfast when he entered the studio he was. quite calm. He was working with his customary ardor when the studio door opened and Adele came in. The moment she appeared he sprang up and accosted her. "I am glad you have come," he said, 1n doubtful French. "I—I wish to speak to you about a lady whom you know well. Yes; Nairn, my friend, has told me that you know her." Adele fixed her wild eyea upon the" young man, and then, with a curious enlle, pointed to a portrait "You mean her?" she asked. "Yes, yea! Tell me all you know concerning her. I am interested In her—deeply interested. My friend tells me that you sometimes visit the house, though how or why I cannot guess. What takes you there?" "I carry a message sometimes from the cabaret/' answered Adele. "And you see her?—you speak to fcer?" "Why not?" said the girl! somewhat defiantly, for she read in the young nan's face no little astonishment that Marjorle should see such company. "Yes, I see her—and the child. She is like that picture, but changed, older. But there, perhaps you sometimes see her for yourself." "Only from a distance," answered Sutherland- "I have not spoken to her, she does not know that I am In Paris. But I hare seen enough," he added, sadly, "to suspect that she is unhappy sad neglected. Is that so?" Adele looked at him for some moments in silence, then she said, with the low, harsh laugh habitual to her: "You know little or nothing, monsieur. If you will swear not to betray me, I can tell you much more of her—and her husband. Dlable, I should love to do him an ill turn, and her a good one. Will you swear?" "Yea," anawered Sutherland, startled by the girl's strange manner. "For God's sake, tell me all you know." Upon being farther questioned, It' seemed that Adele knew really yetj little concerning Marjorle herself. She ciuld only tell Sutherland what he had already, j y o.uiet observation, das-" •overs* for faints** that Marjorie PRESS ASSOCIATION. seemed unhappy; that there was no sympathy between herself and her husband; that, indeed, she seemed to fear him. About Caussidiere himself, Adele was much more explicit—indeed, she seemed to be pretty well acquainted with his secret life, and spoke of It without reserve. Suddenly she asked: "Do you know Mademoiselle Seraphine, of the Chartelet?" "No." "Well, Caussidiere does." "What of that?" "Well," repeated Adele, "how dull ^ou are, monsieur. You ask me just now why Caussidiere neglects his wife, amd I tell you." "He has an intrigue with an actress?" "Not exactly. He simply prefers her* company. When Madame Mere sends a little check, Caussidiere changes it, gives Seraphine a little supper, and leaves his wife to mind the baby at home. Voila tout." She turned as If about to leave him, but Sutherland called her back. "Mademoiselle Adele, I—I am not a rich man, but Madame Caussidiere has friends who will not see her want. You have access to. her, I have not; you can give her some money—" Adele laughed aloud. "That is so like a man," she said. "Give her money! I give her money, who can earn but a few sous by singing at a cafe? She would think I stole it. Besides, she does not want money, monsieur." Again she turned to go, and again he detained her. "Adele, you see madame very often, do you not?" "I go when I can. I like the boy." "Women can often say a word of comfort to each other. You won't say that you ever met me, but if you c^n make her happier by a word sometimes—" He paused in some confusion, and held forth a napoleon. Adele laughed again, and roughly tossed his. hand aside. "Bah! kfndnese is not to be bought from Adele of the Mouche d'Or. I shall see her often, for, as I said, I like the child." During the few days which followed Sutherland was like a-man entranced —utterly bewildered as to what he should do. Once or twice he saw Marjorle walking with her little boy in the streets of Paris, and he fancied that her face looked more c ire worn than ever. He dared not speak to her. It would be better, he thought, to make his presence known to Caussidiere, and to give that gentleman plainly to understand that unless Marjorie's life were made more bearable to her, the checks from Miss Hetherlngton would inevitably cease. That would be the only way to touch Caussidiere's heart—it was the surest way to proceed, and Sutherland determined tojaet upon it. One morning—some two days after his interview with Adele—he left his rooms with the determination to find Caussidiere. "So engrossed was he with this new idea that for the time being he forgot all else. He walked through the streets, along the boulevards. He was wondering how and where he should carry out his design, when he was suddenly startled by the sound of his own name. He started, turned quickly, and found himself face to face with Marjorle. For a moment he could say nothing. A mist was before his eyes, and his rising tears choked him; bat he held forth his hands to grasp her trembling fingers. "Johnnie," she said, "it la really you! Oh, I am so glad, so glad!** He brushed away the mist which was Minding his eyes and looked at her again. Her cheeks were suffused, her eyes sparkled, and a sad smile played about the corners of her mouth. She looked at that moment something like the Marjorle whom he had known years before. The change lasted only for a moment, then her face became paler and sadder than it had been before, and her voice trembled as she said: "Johnnie, yon must tell me now how they all are at Dumfries." " She sat down on one of the beaches Sutherland took his seat beside her. "I was sitting here," she said, "wheat I saw you pass. At first I csuld not believe it was you, it seemed so strange that yon should be In Parte, that I should ir**et a friend from Scotland.** The tears cams into her eyes again, s a d he* 7oice trembled. Turning "Leon, mon petit," she said, placing her hand upon her child's golden ©urli; then turning to Sutherland she said: "This is my little boy." As little Leon was not conversant with English, Sutherland addressed him in the best French at his command. He took the child on bis knee, and the three sat together to talk over old times. "It seems so strange, I can hardly believe It is real," said Majorie. "Tell me how long have you been in Paris, and bow long will you stay?" "How i/>ng I shall stay I don't know/' i Id Sutherland. "I have been here several months." "Several months?" repeated Marjorle, "and I see you today for the first time." "I thought it would be better for us both, Marjorle, that I should keep away." Perhaps she understood his meaning, for she turned the conversation to other things. He told her of the changes which had taken place in Annandale; that the old .servant Mysie lay with the minister sleeping in the kirkyard; that a large family filled the manse; and that Miss Hetherington was the only being who, amidst all this changing, remained unchanged. A gray, weary, worn-out woman, she dwelt alone in Annandale Castle. Holding little Leon by the hand, they strolled quietly along under the trees. Presently they came to one of the many merry-go-rounds which are to be found in the Champs Elysees. Merry children were riding on the wooden horses, and mothers and nursery-maids were looking on. Here little Leon clamored for a ride, and Sutherland placed him on one of the horses. As he rode round and round, uttering cries of infantine delight, Marjorle looked on with heightened color, here eyes full of mother's tender rapture; and, gazing upon her, Sutherland thought to himself: "Poor Marjorle! She loves her husband for her child's sake. I have no right to come between them." When the ride was done and the three passed on together, Marjorle seemed to have forgotten al her trouble and to look her old smiling self, but Sutherland's heart sank in deep dejection. Close to the Madeleine they parted, with a warm handshake and a promise to meet again. From that day forth Marjorle and Sutherland met frequently, and walked together in the Bois de Boulogne er on the boulevards, with little Leon for a companion. At her. express entreaty he refrained from speaking to Caussidiere, though he saw that, despite her attempts at cheerfulness, her face sometimes wore an expression of increasingpain,_. He began to suspect that there was something very wrong indeed; and he determined to discover, if possible, the exact relations existing between Marjorle and her husband. Meantime, the meetings with his old sweeheart were full of an abundant happiness, tempered with sympathetic distress. CHAPTER XXIX.

Day after day, and s o m e t lines night after night, Cattssld i e r e w a s from home, and when he was there his manner toward his wife and child was almost brutal.

She received a communication—an anonymous letter—which ran as follows, but in the French tongue: "Madame—When your husband » not with you he i s with Mademoiselle gfrwtpMfiA of the Chatelet" Marjorle read the letter ttaoafth twice, then folded it s*4 pet tt in her pocket Caussidiere w a s ' late home that night; indeed, it was nearly two o'clock before his latch-key was put In the door; yet when he mounted the stairs he found that sfarjarie was artting, up for him. "Dlable, what are yos doing here?" "Where have you been so late, Leon?" she quietly replied. He stared at her with an ominous frown as he said: -What Is that to you? Go Co bed." - Seeing well that he was in no mood to be questioned, she obeyed aim; but the next morning, when they ware sitting at breakfast, she returned to the subject again. / "Leon," she said, "where Is It that you go M T often when you are Away from me*f* .

The girths of sycamore trunks were from two to three-sixteenths of an inch, and of oaks from Ave to six-sixteenths of an inch, less in February at a temperature of 3 degrees Fahr. than in October, after growth had ceased, and the trunks expanded to their original size on March 2, at a temperature of 39 degrees. The frequent splitting of forest trees is due to this contraction by cold* lliDif.

Mr. I Hummel, in a few pointed sentences, gavej our representative the following account r ... "The accident of my 'wardays' left I me in bad shape; pain in my back and spine rendered me almost useless, and 1 l was compelled to give up work entirely. : I could not turn over in bed without assist I ance., I have spent hundreds of dollars in i various ways trying to find relief. Physicians have told me my spine was honeycombed for 13 inches. I had given up in , despair, never hoping for relief, when a, i friend tokl roc about Doan's Kidney Pills, ' and they have done me a world of good. The pains have disappeared from my back, and the bleeding of my kidney has almost entirely stopped.

The state of Michigan, with her elaborate and comprehensive fri-e school system, contains, according to the last United States -census reports, 95,914 persons above the age of ten years who can ueither read or write. We believe too much cannot be said to the people of the town and surrounding country in regard to trading with home merchants. They are the men who help to build up a community, always ready and willing to contribute to those who have met with some misfortune and also helping to build and maintain our churches and schools. They want your patronage and we are sure will give you value received for every dollar you leave with them. They are not here for a day or a week, so it is to their interest to sell you good goods at right prices.--Williamston Enterprise. Of course a merchant that wants trade will ask for it.

A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe and recognizing it as dangerous he took immediate steps to bring about a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy and the many recommendations included therein, we concluded to m a k e the first trial of the * medicine. To eay that it was satisfactory in its results is putting it very mildly indeed. I t acted like magic and the result was a speedy permanent cure.

The Pinckney's played their own team and found the Detroit pitcher on the start. but struck too many balls in the air. The umpires were Kuhn and Boyce. The races were all full and some good work done although the track was somewhat heavy and only \ mile races were|driveu. The winners were as follows: Named Jtace:—Col. Reg, (Phelps,) 1st; Mamie C, (Newman,) 2nd; Cruise J.f (Allen,) 3rd; Roxie Ann and Sailor Boy also started. 3 Minute Bace:—Jim Bailey, (Galagher,) 1st; Brown Joe, (Nixon.) 2nd: Maud W., (White,) 3rd; Bed Feather, Wild Dick, Dick Wagner and McPhee started. .._. Free For All:—Go Some, (Swarthout,) 1st; Riverside, (Wheeler,) 2nd; Mason Nutwood, (Gregory,) 3rd. Running Race:—Flora B., (Brogan) 1st, Maud R„ (Russell.) 2nd; Duster, (Monks,) 3rd; Mollie B., (Spears,) 4th. It was too late to finish the running race Saturday and four heats were run Monday forenoon to finish up the race. The only objectionable thing about the day's sport was the gambling games on the ground but the board informed us that the gamers stole a march on them and they were sorry but it eould not be helped this time. However they assured u& that such a thing would not occur again. The sport on +he grounds has-so far been clean and the managers will endeavor to keep it so. The track has been a success this .season and this winds up the sport. THIS AND THAT. The first envelope ever used is in the possession of the British muiMffl.

From the Texts Aott, Chap tar XXVIII* V e n e 10. •>• Followa: "They Cam* to Meet Ue • • Far as Appll" Forum autt the Three Taveru*. Thirty towns in Utah are without weekly -newspapers. These placet range in population from 1,000 to 3,000, and several o* ttyem are county seats. Utah would seem a splendid field for enterprising Journalist* with a little capital. Lawyer Wright, of Rome, Ga., declares that "of all the cowards God ever made the greatest coward unhung is the man who joins a mob." Let the south, which boasts largely of its courage, take that view of lynching and that kind of lawlessness will some 'lay end. And is it not the right view? Think of hundreds or thousands against one man, thirsting for his blood, too often without regard to his guilt or innocence. About the time that the camp meeting at Old Orchard claimed to bo engaged in the work of casting out devils there was a wild outburst of negro religious frenzy in Mountville, South Carolina, over the alleged capture of the original and only complete devil. . It was proposed to bury his suppositious majesty, and it was thought that immediately thereafter the judgment would arrive. But we can't Bee that there is any improvement in any situation, any more than there has been during the long period which has been largely given up to the annihilation of the diabolical wretch. And does not the sultan still live? EVBNTEKN miles south of Rome, Italy, there was a village of unfortunate name. A tavern is a place of entertainment. In our time part of the entertainment Is a provision of intoxicants. x One such place you would think would have been enough for that Italian village. No, there were three of them, with doors open for entertainment and obfuscation. The world has never lacked stimulating drinks. You remember the condition of Noah on one occasion, and of Abigail's husband, Natal, and the story of Belshazsar's feast, and Benhadad, and the new wine in old bottles, and whole paragraphs on prohibition enactment thousands of years before Neal Dow was born; and no doubt there were whole shelves of inflammatory liquid in those hotels which gave the name to the village where Paul's friends came to meet him, namely, the Three Taverns. In vain I search ancient geography for some satisfying account of that village. Two roads came from the sea coast to that place; the one from Actium, and the other from Puteoli, the last road being the one which Paul traveled. There were, no doubt, in that village houses of merchandise and mechanics' shops, and professional offices,' but nothing, is known of them. All that we knowxof that village is that it had a profusion of inns—the Three Taverns. Paul did not choose any one of these taverns as the place to meet his friends. He certainly The bicycle corps of the 25th United was very abstemious, but they made States Infantry recently rode from : Port Missoula, Moniana, to St. Louis, | the selection. He had enlarged about lfissouri, a distance of 1,900 miles. The keeping the body upder, though once commander of the corps has reported j he prescribed for a young theological to the war department that the trip student a stimulating cordial for a required thirty-four days of actual J stomachic disorder; but he told him to travel, at an average rate of 6.3 miles take only a small dose—"a little wine per hour. A large part of the trip was made under trying conditions, over mountains, and "on slmdy "or~ muddy road*, with an occasional fording of str«»ams; the men living meanwhile on the regulation field and travel ration. The health of the command was excellent, and none of the soldiers were disabled; the commander thinks that the practicability of the bicycle as a means of military transportation is demonstrated. Two years ago a man was lynched in Alabama for ad offense against a woman. The Job was done in a rather dramatic manner and the populace seemed well satisfied when all was over. The leaders of the job were applauded on all Bides,and it was thought that an end had been put to deeds of the kind In that vicinity. Now comes the news from the same point to the effect that the man who led the lynching party of two years ago has been, arrested for a similar offense to the one for which those who go down to the sea in ships he showed so much Indignation, all at which goes to show that men who lead mobs never do so from proper motives. The leader of a mob is always a coward, generally a sneak and nine times out of ten a moral degenerate. Let the world brand the would-be heroes of this sort of Justice with the brand of infamy and there will be fewer lynching*. Some figures obtained by the United States Marine Hospital bureau, comparing 1896 with 1890, show favorably for Illinois and Chicago. In 1890 the dea^h rate o£ Illinois was 24.01 for errery 1,000 of population. In 1896 this death rt£e was seduced to 14.01 per 1,000 population, showing a reduction of 42 per cent in thfc death rate of the state. In rate la 1890 was 21.19 per 1,000 population, and in 1896 it was onl. 14.86 per 1,000 population, showing that Chicago, the second city In the Union in population, made subfor thy stomach's sake." One of the worst things about these Three^Taverns w a s t h a t t h e y had especial temptation for those who had just come ashore. People who had just landed at Actium or Puteoli were soon tempted by these three hqtejs. which were only a little way up from the beach. Those who are disordered of the sea (forit is a physical disorganizer), instead of waiting for the gradual return of physical equipose, are apt to take artificial means to brace up. Of the one million sailors now. on the- sea, how few of them comiug ashore will and the story of earthly disasters shall be fully told, will it be known how many yachts, steamers, brlgatines.menof- war and ocean greyhounds have been lost through captain and crew made incompetent by alcoholic dethronement. Admiral Farragut had proper appreciation of what the fiery stimulus was to a man in the navy. An officer of the warship said to him, "Admiral, won't you consent to give Jack a glass of grog in the morning? Not enough to make him drunk, but enough to make him fight cheerfully." The admiral answered, "I have been to sea considerably, and have seen a battle or two. but I never found that I, needed rum to enable me to do my duty. I will order two cups of coffee to each man at two o'clock in the morn* ing, and at eight o'clock I will pipe all hands to breakfast in Mobile Bay." The Three Taverns of my text were too near the Mediterranean shipping. But notice the multiplicity. What could that Italian village, so small that history makes but one mention of it, want with more than one tavern? There were not enough travelers coming through that insignificant town to support more than one house of lodgment. That would have furnished enough pillows and enough breakfasts. No, the world's appetite Is diseased, and the subsequent draughts must be taken to slack the thirst created by the preceding draughts. Strong drink kindles the fires of thirst faster than it puts them out. There were three taverns. That which cursed that Italian village curses all Christendom today— too many taverns. There are streets in some of our cities where there are three or four taverns in every block; aye, where every other house Is a tavern. You can take the Arabic numeral of my text, the three, and put on the right hand side of it one cipher/and two ciphers, and four ciphers, and that re-enforcement of numerals will not express the statistics of American rummerles. Even if it were a good, healthy business, supplying necessity, an article superbly nutritious, it Is a business mightily overdone, and there are Three Taverns where there ought to be only one. The fact fs. there are in another sense Three Taverns now; the gorgeous Tavern for the affluent, the medium Tavern for the working classes, and the Tavern of the slums, and they stand in line, and many people beginning with the first-come down through the second and come out at the third. At the first of the Three Taverns, the wines are of celebrated vintage, and the whiskies are said to be pure, and they are quaffed from cut glass, at marble side tables, under pictures approaching masterpieces. The patrons pull off their kind gloves, and hand their silk hats to the waiter, and push back their hair with a hand on one finger of which is a cameo. But those patrons es^peTRThTeTTaveTHBt AfterBUT--****&-*#s t o »visiting-thaiplace. It viving hurricanes, cyclones, Icebergs, collisions, many of them are wrecked in harbor. 1 warrant that If a calculation were made of the comparative number of sailors lost at sea. and lost ashore, those drowned by the crimson wave of dissipation would far outnumber those drowned by the salt water. • Alas! that the large majority of should have twice to pass the Three Taverns, namely, before they go out, and after they come4a,—That fact was what aroused Father Taylor, the great sailor's preacher, at the Sailors' Bethel, Boston, and at a public meeting at Charlestown, he said, "All the machinery of the drunkard making, soul destroying business is In perfect running order, from the low grog holes on the docks kept open to ruin my poor sailor boys, to the great establishments in Still House square, and when we ask men what is to be done about it, they say, 'you can't help It," and yet there is Bunker Hill and you say you.can't 'stop it, and up there are Lexington and Concord." + We might answer Father Taylor's remark by saying, "the trouble is not that we can't stop it, but that we won't stop it." We must have more generations slain before the world will fully wake up to, the evil. That which tempted the travelers of old who came up from the Beaports of Actium stantially the same reduction in her and Puteoli, is now the ruin of seadeath rate that was made by the state faring men as they come up from the ef Illinois as a whole. The healthiest coasts of all the continents, namely, the city In Illinois last year was Sterling Three Taverns.

The state of Indiana reduced her death rat* from 16.36 is 1890 to 10.70 in 1896. Iowa reduced ber death rate from 14.87 in 1890 to 12.38 in 1896; Minnesota from 20.68 to 16.65; Ohio from 17.04 to 13.82; Wisconsin from 16 to 13.14. friends on the wharves of Charleston. But a little more than two days out the ship struck the rocks. A life boat was launched, but sank with all its passengers. A mother was seen standing on the deck of the steamer with her child In her arms. A wave wrenched the child from the mother's arms and rolled it into the sea, and the mother leajwti after it. The sailors rushed to the bar of the boat and drank themselves drunk. Ninety-five human beings went down never to rise, or to be floated upon the beach amid the fragments of the wreck. What was the cans* ef the disaster? A drunken sea is not the money that a man pays for drinks, for what are a few hundred or a few thousand dollars to a man of large income—but their brain gets touched, and that unbalances their judgment, afid they can see fortunes in enterprises surcharged with disaster. In longer or shorter time they change Taverns, and they come down to Tavern the second, where the pictures are not quite so scrupulous of suggestion, and the small table is rougher, and the castor standing on it is of Geeman silver, and the air has been kept over from the night before, and that which they sip from the pewter mug has a larger percentage of benzine, ambergris, creosote, henbane, strychnine, prussic acid, coculus indicus, plaster of par is, copperas, and nightshade. The patron may be seen almost every day, and perhaps many times the same day at this Tavern the second, but he is preparing to graduate. Brain, liver, heart, nerves, are rapidly giving way. That Tavern the second has its dismal echo in his business destroyed and family scattered, and woes that choke one's vocabulary. Time passes on, and he enters Tavern the third; a red light outside; a hiccoughing and besotted group inside. He will be dragged out of doors about two o'clock in the morning and left on the sidewalk, because the bartender wants to shut up. The poor victim has taken the regular course in the college of degradation. He bas bis diploma written on his swollen, bruised and blotched physiognomy. He is a regular graduate of the Three Taverns. As the police take him in and put him in the ambulance, the wheels seejn to rumble w^th two rolls of thunder, one of which says, "Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it moveth itself aright in the cup, for at last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder." The other, thunder roll says, MAll drunkards shalf have their place in the lake that burnetii with fire and brimstone. • • • With these thoughts I cheer Christian ba over the consummation.

The good he has done, the homes he has kept inviolate, the high moral sense with which he has infused ter generations, is a story that neither earth nor heaven ean afford to let die. Derided, belittled, caricatured, malign ed, for a quarter of a century as few men have been he has lived on untl1 at his decease universal newspaperdom speaks his praise and the euloglums ot his career on this side of the sea have been caught up by the cathedral organ sounding his requiem on the other. His whole life having been for God and the world's betterment, when at half-past three o'clock in the afternoon of October second he left his home on earth surrounded by loving ministers, and entered^the gates of his eternal residence/ Tthink there was a most unusual welcome and salutation given him. Multitudes enter heaven only because of what Christ has done for them, the welcome not at all intensified because of anything they had dene for him. But all heaven knew the story of that good man's life, and the beauty of his death-bed, where he said, "I long to be free." I think all the reformers of heaven came out to hail him in, the departed legislators who made laws to restrain intemperance, the consecreated platform orators who thrilled the generations that are gone, with "righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come"—Albert Barnes and John B. Gough were there to greet him, and golden-tongued patriarch Stephen H. Tyng was there, and John W. Hawkins, the founder of the much derided and gloriously useful "Washingtonlan Movement" was there, and John Sterns and Commodore Foote, and Dr. Marsh and Governor Briggs and Eliphalet Nott, and my lovely friend Alfred Colquitt, the Christian Senator, and hundreds of those who labored for the overthrow of the drunkenness that yet curses the earth, were there to meet him and escort him to his throne and shout at his coronation. God let him live on for near a century, to show what good habits and cheerfulness and faith in the final triumph of all that Is good, can do for a man in this world, and to add to the number of those who would be on the other side to attend his entrance. But he will come back again! "Yes," say some of you, with Martha, about Lazarus to Jesus, "I know he will rise at the Resurrection of the-fast day." Ah! I do not mean that. Ministering spirits are all the time coming and going between earth and heaven—the Bible teaches it—and do you suppose the old hero just ascended will not come down and help us in the battle that still goes on? He will. Into the hearts of discouragedreformers-liewilt. come, to speak good cheer. When legislators are deciding how they can best stop the rum traffic of America by legal enactment, he will help them vote for the right and ri6e up undismayed from temporary defeat. In this battle will Neal Dow be until the last victory is gained and the smoke of the last distillery has curled on the air, and the last tear of despoiled homesteads shall be wiped away. Q departed nonagenarian! After you have taken a good rest from your struggle of seventy active years, come down again Into the fight, and bring with you a host of the old Christian warriors who once mingled in the fray. In this battle the visible troops are not so mighty as the Invisible. The gospel campaign began with the supernatural— the midnight chant that woke the shepherds, the hushed sea, the eyesight given where the patient had been without the optic nerve, the sun obliterated from the noonday heavens, the law of gravitation loosing its grip as Christ ascended; and as the gospel campaign began with the supernatural, it will close with the supernatural; and the winds and the waves and the—lightnings and the u A b U A L T l E Q .

She wai happy aa her rery heart for w a i she not the dear artlet'i •tudio, where she spent the happiest hours of the day? Was she not helping to make the beautiful picture which he •aid waa to bring him fame and happiness ? And aa ehe thought, her steps grew slower, and the bright, beautiful past rose up before her like a wonderful panorama, each view more entrancing than the preceding one; her memory went back to that early summer's day, when he had come upon her as f & ^ s h e sat mending her father's neti on *V the shore, and had asked her to sit for him each day, while he bad put her picture on the canvas with a genius - that almost frightened the simple fisher maiden. Happy days! in which she had learned to love him for h i i gentle words, his bonny smile and the song and story with which he had beguiled the hours In which she strove with all her soul to embody his meaning, with an earnestness that pleased while it surprised him. Ah! but it was her signor, and he had chosen her from all the girls on the shore, and the picture was hers as well as his, and Bhe gloried in its perfection. Half child, half woman, as she was, she did not understand what it was that made the sun BO bright, the sea so joyous, and life so altogether delightful. To-day she entered the studio with # eyes shining like stars, the soft color coming and going in her cheeks, the dewy lips, arched like Cupid's bow, tremulous with excitement and it was no wonder that his artist soul reveled In her beauty. When the day's work was over he •called her to him and showed her the picture, which was approaching completion. "We shall soon have Mt done, my dear, and then we will send it away to the big city, where there will be none so beautiful as m y l i t t l e fisher girl; only a few more days and our work Is over." He drew her close to him and pressed a kiss on her Innocent lips; which to him was but an expression of thankfulness to the child who had helped him to win the fame he felt sure was within his grasp; but to her it was the awakening of a soul, and he, coldblooded northerner as he was, did not understand how soon womanhood, with all its joys and sorrows, comes to maidens under a southern sun. She silently left the room and thoughtfully pursued her way to her home. Her few simple duties over, she crept to her bed, still with this new secret warming her heart and opening SHE FALLS OVER THE CLIFF. out a new vista of happiness In her life. ^ rough, uncouth fisherman, was seldom at home except to sleep off some drunken orgle; i t waa strange that so lovely * flower could have sprung from such a parent; bat It was said that the mother had been of gentle birth, had married the handsome, rollicking dare- •devil, and broken her heart when she came to realise bis utter worthless- Some time in the night Ninette awakened from a deep sleep by hearing voices outside the hut, and soon distinguished her father's and those of eome of his cronies. Aa she listened she grew ©old a s with a sudden chill, m she heard them plan to waylay and rob some one, and she held her breath to catch the nasne. Ah! heaven, could It ho that the hoard aright! "The pictore fellow," they aafci, ~he has plenty of sooner and Jewels worth taking." She most save him, be who bod caressed her oo fondly, her dear friend. for even to herself she scarcely dared eafl him by any fonder nasne yet. She would listen to all their plana, and perboos she could warn him. "He will be coming home along the OUf road from the chatea* that holds sweetheart," said her father's voice; "they will, uuuli a* iwil over," he added, with a nendlsh chuckle. "Iftst,J1 gatn^motheTr^^tnTgiff may m t t f B O U T K TO HKAftTH. Little, fragrant, palatable tablet*, in a leled-metal boa, jost tigh ' wake." She could hear no moreV for they moved away; but the Iron had entered her soul, and jealousy had mads a woman of the girl of yesterday. "Over the cliff to aee his sweetheart," then she could never be anything to him; •he was only a child to amuse him. Then all her passionate nature rose In revolt; no one else should have his love, she'thought; they might throw him from the cliff, she would have the remembrance of that kiss of yesterday, and after he was dead she would go too, and find her lover in the cruel waves where they had flung him, and be should be hers in death. She covered her head in the bedclothes and shivered and wept^until morning; then with the bright BUD came better thoughts, and she remembered the grand picture that was to go out into the world—she must save him or it would not be finished. She would go along the cliff road at evening and warn him of his danger. So, alternating between love and jealousy, she spent all the day, and when the sun sank to rest behind the hills she was on her way over the rocks and op onto the cliff/where Bhe could hide herself and watch for his approach. It grew dark, and the moon was hidden behind black clouds; a storm was coming up; still she did not stir; the thunder rolled, and lightning lit up the heavens with fitful dashes. Perhaps he would not return to-night, and she prayed he might not, although it was agony to picture to herself the lady at the chateau pleadtng with him not to go out into the night. Hark! that was his voice surely Binging softly to himself, and in one of the flashes she saw coming from the chateau road the form of him she loved; in one swift moment she exulted that he had left his lady in spite of pleading; but the feeling was brief, for from the other direction she heard voices, and realized that the evil deed planned in darkless the night before would be execuro'l unless bhe could prevent it. Nearer and nearar they come until they are almost npi)Osi:e her hiding place. Holy Mother! what can she do! There is no time to warn him, as he comes jauntily on to his doom, and she sees like a flash his mangled form on the rocks below, to be washed out by the cruel waves in the morning; then the picture rises before her In all its divine beauty; her brain is burning with excitement. Unknowingly she rushes out of her concealment, and the ruffians, seeing the form In the darkness, think their victim is in their power. In her frenzy she has gone too far; one false step and she falls over the cliff; a lightning flash lit up the sky, and there was one shriek as of a lost soul as she went over the edge. The men turn and- flee for dear life, thinking in their superstitious fear that evil spirits are p^rsuing_them. In an in- Btant all was over, and, unable to find the cause of the disturbance, the artist keeps on his way home. The next morning the village rang with excitement, for the frightened men had confessed all, and the body of the girl was found in the surf. The maiden had sacrificed her life for her friend, and although he never realized that his thoughtless kiss had cost her her life, he undertook the simple burial, and placed a white cross at her head, and he and his beautiful wife make yearly pilgrimages to the little grave of her who gave her life for his.—Boston Herald. deintr enamel the vest] tablet* are stamped the lettars, " a C.

Superior People Drlvea to the Swamp el What I* Now L o o U U u . Prof. George B. Beyer, of Tulane university, New Orleans, has Just returned from his explorations of the socalled Indian mound* along the Red river, and between that stream and the Mississippi, in Franklin, NatchitooheB, and other neighboring parishes, which he investigated for Tulane university and the Louisiana Historical society. He was able to distinguish the several layers of earth, shell and clay deposited at different times, and to demonstrate a greater antiquity for the mounds than had been supposed—an antiquity of at least 1,000 years. The skeletons and implements discovered proved further that the inhabitants of these mounds were not of the race of the ordinary red Indians who were found there by the French and Spanish ex- v r - v . plorers, but a race akin to the Asteca rs % , a v 0 , or Toletlcs, of a more peaceful disposition than the neighboring Indians, and originally more civilised. They had apparently been forced into the great swamps by the surrounding Indian tribes, and their civilisation had deteriorated under the unfavorable conditions in which they lived. Prtff. Beyer's later explorations confirmed his former ones, or rather showed that there were two varieties of mounds *n the country he explored, one variety on the higher land, apparently erected by Indians, and used mainly for burial purposes; the other built by a more ancient race, and containing skulls of the same kind as those found in Catahoula. The India* mounds contained a large number of skeletons with heads distinctively Indian, arrows, tomahawks, etc. The other mounds were in the swamps or lakes, like those of Mexico. Such labs* were once abundant along the Red rtoer, but nearly all have been drains* dry to-day by the removal of the Red river raft. The number of these mounds faHrly staggered Prof. Beyer. he found no fewer than flfty clustered together and extending a distance of two miles from Brown's bayou to Uttle Deer creek. They were so close together— only fifty feet, apart—as to make what must have been In old days a settlement or town.

He graduated from a New York medical college in 1826, and came to Cold water in 1835, buying, with several other pioneers, 1,000 acres of the present site of Cold wafer.

Woodford, the American minister there. The communication is courteous in tone, but very determined, in rejecting the purport of the American note. 8pain resolutely asserts her determination to settle the Cuban question herself without foreign assistance or interference of any kind. She declines to fix any date for the pacification of of Cuba, which she proposes to bring about as she sees fitby force of arms and by political reforms culminating in autonomy combined. While regretting the losses and damages the insurrection has inflicted on foreigners Spain argues that this would not have happened if international law had been observed by the United States especially. The note dwells at length on filibustering and other material and moral assistance which has chiefly contributed to the rtse and duration of the rebellion. It clearly intimates that Spain cannot continue the "forbearance shown by Senor Canovas del Castilo and the duke of Tetuan during the past two years," and that she now calls upon the American government to "fulfill more strictly in the future the rules and duties of international law," because "the success of the new home rule policy and the speedy pacification of Cuba chiefly depend upon the conduct of the United States." The Spanish press unanimously supports the attitude of the government which it calls eminently sober and dignified, but the impression is that the controversy with the* United States has reached a critical stage which may be the prelude to a rupture. The Spanish naval forces in the Caribbean sea will be strengthened on the pretext of a necessity for increased vigilance on the Cuban coast El Liberal thinks a rupture is possible as a result of the negotiations between Spain and the United States, and adds: "We ought to avoid this rupture, so far as duty and honor permit; but though the government should • act in a spirit of moderation, the nation will under no circumstances authorize the renunciation of Spanish rights." El Tiempo publishes the an n ounce me nt that the reply ~at~t •Spanish government to the note of the United States declares that if the United States does not stop the sailing of filibustering expeditions from American porta Spain will re-establish the right to search vessels anchoring in Cuban waters. London papers advise Spain to go slow and by all means avoid a rupture with the United States and say that it is an idle dream for Spain to hope for assistance from any European power. A Blaek Death Teklns Off Klpadykers. Miners from Dawson City who came back on the steamer Farrallon from Dyea report that before they left Hansen, one of the managers of the Alaska Commercial Co., arrived at Dawson City in a canoe and told of the abandonment of efforts to get food up the river. Fully 400 miners at once made preparations to start back over the trails, but the citizens' committee refused to allow them sufficient provisions for the journey. Chas.

He «n»4etty went on eating bis breakfast, as If the subject were at an end. For a while Marjorle watched him, her face white as death; then she went to him and 'knelt at his feet. **Leon," she said, in a low, trembling Yolce, "let us forget the past; maybe It tee been my fault; but, indeed, I never meant It, dear. I have been so lonely and so sad, and I have been kept apart from you because I thought yen wished it, and—yes—because you sometimes seemed so angry that I crew afraid!"

"Do you think this Is the way to winme^backr' he said: "it is more likely to drive me away, for, look you, 2 'dislike scenes and I have business which demands that I keep cool. There, dry your eyes and let me finish my meal in peace." At that time nothing more was said, but once he was free of the house, 'Causeidiere reflected over what had taken place. He was in sore trouble as to what he .must do. To abandon Marjorle meant abandoning the £ooso which laid him golden eggs, for without the supplies which Miss Hetkerington sent to her daughter, where would Causeidiere be? One afternoon, as he was jbant to return home in no very amiable frame of mind, an incident occurred which aroused, in .his mind a feeling mot exactly of jealousy, but of lofty moral indignation. He saw, from the wladaw of a shop where he was making a purchase,, Marjorle and little Leom pass by : 1* company with a young seen whom he recognised at a glance, He crept to the door, and looked after them, scarcely able to believe his eytes. Yes, it was real! There were Marjorle and little Leon walking side by side with young Sutherland, his oft] >bete noir from Scotland.

She thought of her child; tor b f p 8 a k e she still clang to the meJn^whom she believed to be her husband. Thus matters stood for a week, when, one day, Causeidiere, whan within a few yards of his own door, saw ti man emerge from it and walk quickly down the street. Caussidlere caught his breath and a very ugly look oame into his eyes; the man was none other than the one whom be bad strictly forbidden his wife to see—John Sutherland! After a momentary hesitation he entered the house and walked straight to the sitting-room, where he found Marjorte. She had been crying. At sight of her husband she dried her eyes, but She could not hide her sorrow. "What are you crying for?" he asked Toughly. "'*It is nothing, Leon," ihe returned. "It's a lie; you can't deceive me as well as defy me." "Defy you!" "Yes, defy me. Didn't I forbid you ever again to seek the company of that accursed Scotchman?" "Yes," she returned, quietly, "and I 6beyed you. I saw him unce again to tell him we must not moec—that was all;" <?I tell you you are a liar!" Her face flushed crimson. "Leon," she said, "think of tas child: say what you please to me, but let us be alone." She took the frightened cbOfl by the hand, and was about to lead him from the room, when Causaldlere interposed. "No," he said; "I shall say what I please to you, and the child shall remain. I tell you you are a liar— that man was here today—flon't trouble yourself to deny it; I saw him leave the house." "I do not wish to deny It," she returned. "Yes, he was here:" The tears had come into her eyes She sprang up, pale as death. "What have I done?" she cried. ~Do*you think I am a fool-blind?

"Why was he here?" eoaciirued Causeidiere, furiously. "He came here to say goedby. He is going to Scotland—his father is dying." She bowed her head sard laid her lipe on the forehead of her child. "Why did you not go with him?" She raised her head and looked at him with weary, sorrow**! eyes. "Why did I not go?" she said. "Ah, Leon, do not ask me that- -is it the duty of a wife to leave her husband and her child?" -Her husband!" he said, with a sneer. "Ah, well, since you are «3leased to put it so, your huehaad gives you i permission, and for the heat,-why, you jnay take him, too." "Leon!" "Well?" "What do you mean?"

She oould not believe that he was speaking the truth. ent nations—nations which.for thereat, us shake hands and part company— the sooner the better." The mask had fallen Indeed} Poor Marjorle read in the man's livid face not merely weariness and satiety, but positive dielike, biack almost as hate itself. She clasped her. child and uttered a despairing cry* "You can't mean it, Leon! No, no, you don't mean what you say!" she moaned, sinking into a chair, and covering her face with her hand. "Mamma, mamma!" cried llttlo Leon. "Do not cry." She drew him convulsively to her, and gated again at Caussidlere. He was standing on the hearth rug, looking at her with a nervous scowl. "It Is useless to make a scene," he said. "Understand me onco for all, Marjorle. I want my freedom. X have great work on hand, and I cannot pursue it rightly if encumbered by you." "You should have thought of that hefore," she sobbed. "You used to love me; God knows what has turned your heart against me. But I am your wife; nothing can part us now," "Do you really deceive yourself so much?" he demanded coldly. "Then hear the truth from me. You are no wife of mine!" "Not your wife!" she cried. "Certainly not. My mistress, if you please, who has been suffered for a time to wear my uame; that Is all." She sprang up as if shot through the heart, and faced him, pato as death. "We are married! We stood together before the altar, Lean. I tave my marrlnge lines." "Which are so much waste paper, my dear, here In Prance!" Sick with horror and fear, she totter- «d to Mm and clutched him by the arm. "Leon! once more: what do you mean?" "My meaning is very simple." he replied; "the marriage of un Englishwoman with a French .citizen is no marriage unless the civil ceremony has also been performed in France. Now, do you understand?" "I am not your wife! Not your wife!" cried Marjorle, stupefied. "Not here in France," answered Caussidlere. "Then the child—our child?" "Trouble not yourself about him," was the reply. "If you are reasonable he can easily be legitimatized according to our laws; but nothing on earth can make us two man and wife so long as I remain on French soiL" He added coldly: "And I liave no intention of again ; expatriating myself, I assure you." It was enough.

The October meeting of the Putnam and Hamburg farmer's club was held at the borne of Mr. and Mrs. Silas Swartbout on Saturday last and was well attended there being nearly 75 present. But little business, except the appointment of committees, was done before dinner but it was just as well for bad they taken time to do much Ibev would never have got through eatinjr. Such a dinner, oh, my! We had been getting ready for it for a week and it will take us a week to get over the effects. The tables just groaned under the weight of good things and there seemed to be no lack even after the first and second tables had been supplied and the waiters fared as well as anyone. The dinner was well worth tbe cost of membership and if we get, able (?) to go again we shall join sure. After dinner tbe meeting was called to order by President Larabertson and a short program was listened to. Miss Iva Placeway sang a solo; Emit Lanibertoon a recitation; Miss Maud Culy, select reading; Miss Flota Hall, a paper; Miss Iva Placeway, a recitation. H. F. Kice was expected to sing a solo but said he was "too full for utterance, let alone singing." This finished the literary part of the program and the club then took up the question "Rural Mail Delivery." While nearly everyone present bad probably thought more or less upontbe subject but few were ready to speak and the president finally had to open the discussion. He thought that the farmer had the same right to free mail delivery as those who live in the city; it is much benefit to those to have their mail delivered; and it would also be to tbe farmer. With a free mail deliverv, tbe farmer could be informed of the change in market price every day by the daily papers. It would aUo be a big convenience in mailing letters, etc. The main people who are fighting us are the telephone and telegraph companies and those who wish postage reduced to one cent, John Chambers said, we pinst api. for Dr.Mlies'Uemedlee.* Dr. Miles' Remedies are sold by a l l drug* gists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefits o r money r e - funded.

We must tell them what we mean and if they do not give it to us we must elect senators who will. One main objection is the condition of the roads; we must get good roads and then we can get free mail delivery. E. W.Kennedy wanted to know what excuse we could have to go to town if we had free mail delivery, but wanted to see it just the same. A motion was made and carried that the club join the state association and John Chambers and Grover Lambertson were elected as delegates to the December state meeting at Lansing. The question box was opened and the question read -'When is the Best Time to sell Poultry. Thanksgiving or Christmas?" was answered quite thoroughly by Silas Swarthout. He said, "mocb depends on the weather and tbe condluonoTTue poultry. All young turkeys will not fatten early enough for Thanksgiving and must be held over; chickens and ducks will all fatten early enough and if the weather is good, a irood price is generally received at thanksgiving." The question "Which works the Harder, the Parmer or his Wife" drew out some sharp repartee. One said as botb were one they, did not see hew one half cculd work harder than the other; then another said that of course as tbe woman was the ''better fcalf" she of necessity did tbe most work. The question "What is the Best, Cheap, servicabie Fence for the Farmer to Build'* was chosen for discuss* ion at tbe next meeting and it was voted to tine every maa who did not speak upon the enbject when called upon, The meeting adjourned to meet the last Saturday of November at tbe some oi Jae.

The fortieth anniversary of the Fulton street daily prayer meeting was recently celebrated In New York. This meeting, which is held every noon in a crowded business section of the city, was established at a time of great business .anxiety, after the panic of 1857, and,has been held regularly since that time. An Interesting feature of the celebration was the" presentation of a portrait of the founder of the meeting, Jeremiah C. Lamphier, who is now 88 years old. TflaK^BTS~ SERMON. "SIN© OF THE TONQUB." S U N - DAY'S SUBJECT. Wrom the T*xtl AoU • , 1<~10, <t» f o l - lows! MA Certain M»» Itemed Ananias. With Sapphira B i s Wife, Sol* a roMOMloa," Bto. An English admiral declares that if the gun-ship cannot be modified to meet and s balance the threat of the torpedo vessel, then the torpedo vessel will herself become the battleship of the future, and the gun-ship will fall into the auxiliary or subordinate place. He argues that there would be less risk in men and money in sending a flotilla of swift but small vessels against a battleship than to meet that formidable engine of war with a ship of equal size. The future of naval warfare may abound in such developments. An import movement of gold began late in September with the arrival of $4,000,000 at San Francisco, from Australia, and the engagement of $2,600,- 000 at London and Paris- These are *he first Imports of importance since last November. They are a natural result of the movement of the crops. The active shipment of grain and cotton calls for increased supplies of money at the centers of agricultural production, and the deficiency caused by meeting this demand is supplied by gold paid by the foreign purchasers of our products. The condition favors a continuance of gold imports, as we are now selling to Europe monthly from forty to fifty million dollars' worth of our products in excess of all that we are buying there. In reality we ought to get $50,000,000 imports a month. The monthly interest on our foreign -debts ohmaA, hnwflver, amounts t o $40,000,000 a month. WELL- MATCHED pair, alike in ambition and in falsehood, Ananias and Sapphira. They wanted a reputation for great beneficence, and they sold all their property, pretending to put the entire proceeds in the charity fund, while they put much of It in their own pocket There was no necessity that they give all their property away, but they wanted the reputation of so doing. Ananias first lied about it and dropped down dead. Then Sapphira lied about it, and she dropped down dead. The two fatalities are a warning to all ages of the danger of sacrificing the truth. : There are thousands of ways of telling a lie. A n.an's whole life may be a falsehood an2 yet never with his lips may he falsifj onca. There is a way of uttering falsehood by look, by manner, as well as by Up. There are persons who are guilty of dishonesty of speech and then afterward say "may be," calling it a white lie, when no lie is that color. The whitest lie ever told was as black as perdition. There are those so given to dishonesty of speech that they do not know when they are lying. With some It is an acquired sin, and with others it is a natural infirmity. There are those whom you will recognize as born liars. Their whole life, from cradle to grave, is filled up with vice of speech. Misrepresentation and prevarication are as natural to them as the infantile diseases, and are a sort of moral croup and spiritual scarlatina. Then there are those who in after life have opportunities of developing this evil, and they go from deception to deception, and from class to class, until they are regularly graduated liars. At times the air in our cities is filled with-falsehood, and lies cluster around the mechanic's hammer, blossom on the merchant's yardstick, and sometimes sit on the door of churches. They areT called by some fabrication, and they are called by some fiction. You might call them subterfuge or deceit, or romance, or fable, or misrepresentation, or delusion; but as I know nothing to be gained by covering up a God-defying sin with a lexicographer's blanket, I shall call them in plainest vernacular, lies. The abuse of the right of petition consists, in part, of an Indiscriminate use of that method of reaching a desired end. It is a truism that the obtaining of signatures for a petition Is usually an easy matter. Men sign out of good'nature, to get rid of importunity, because they have signed similar documents, and so on, and sometimes the body of the peti- 1 tion Is not even read. An excellent illustration of recklessness was recently furnished. A citizen complained to the governor of a state because a certain criminal had been pardoned. The governor sent for the papers in the case; and the complainant was found to have signed the petition for a pardon. He had put his name to the paper without reflection, and had forgotten the fact. But when his own request had been grsnted, he indignantly held the governor guilty of an act injurious to the public interest! An important decision relating to the be divided into agricultural, commercial, mechanical, social and eccleslastiat' » First of all, I speak of agricultural falsehoods. There U something in the presence of natural objects that has a tendency to make one pure. The trees never issue false stock. The wheat fields are always honest. Rye and oats never move out in the night, not paying for the place they occupy. Cornshocks never make false assignment. Mountain brooks are always current. The gold of the wheat fields is never counterfeit. But while the tendency of agricultural life is to make one honest, honesty is not the characteristic of all who come to the city markets from the country districts. You hear the creaking of the dishonest farm wagon in almost every street of our great cities—a farm wagon in which there is not one honest spoke, or one truthful rivet, from tongue to tail-board. Again and again has domestic economy in our great cities foundered on the fanner's firkin. When New York and Washington sit down and weep over *H his be plotting a monetary revolution, or the burglars may be at that moment at his money safe, or the fire may have kindled on the very block where hit stors stands. Es*y, is it? Let those who get their living on the quiet farm and barn take the place of one of our city \aercbanta and see whether It Is so easy. It is hard enough to have the hands blistered with outdoor work, but it is haruer with mental anxieties to bavo the brain consumed.,. God help the merchants. And do not let those who live- In country life come to th>3 conclusion that all the dishonesties belong to city life. I pass on to consider commercial lies. There are those who apologize for deviations from the right and for practical deception by saym* it is commercial custom. In other words, a lie by multiplication becomes a virtue. There are large fortunes gathered in which there is not one drop of the sweat of unrequited toll, and not one spark of bad temper flashes from the bronze bracket, and there is not one drop of needlewoman's heart blood on the crimson blush; whih there are other fortunes about which it may be said that on every door knob and on every figure of the carpet, and on <JVery wan there Is the mark of dishonor. What if the hand wrung by toil and blistered until the skin comes off should be placed on the exquisite wall paper, leaving its mark of blood—four fingers and a thumb? or, If in the night the man should be aroused from his slumber again and again by his own conscience, getting himself up on elbow and crying out Into the darkness; "Who is there?" There are large fortunes upon which God'B favor comes .down, and it is Just as honest and just as Christian to be affluent as it is to be poor. In miny a house there is a blessing on every pictured wall and on every scroll, and on every traceried window, and the joy that flashes in the lights, and that showers in the music and that dances in the quick feet of the children pattering through the hall has in it the favor of God and the approval of man. And there are thousands and tens of thousands ct merchants who, from the fimt day they sold a yard of cloth, <y firkin of butter, have maintained their Integrity: They were born honest, they will live honest, and thoy A ill die honest. But you and I know that there are in commercial life those who are guilty of great dishonesties of speech. A merchant says, "I am selling these goods at leas than cost." Is he getting for those goods a price inferior to that which ho paid for then? Then he has spoken the truta. to he getting more? The.i he lies. A merchant says: "I paid $25 for this article." Is thai the tee he-paid for It?—All right.—But An Arm in la* be-— PAINFUL AFFLICTION lieves no such thing. It it hardly worth your while to ask ah extreme Armlnlan what .a Calvlnlst believes.

"Oh," you say, "I heard some Presbyterian minister twenty years ago say so." You did not. There, never was a man s^ha believed that, there never, will be a nian who will "believe that. And yet, from boyhood, I have heard that particular slander- against a Christian church going down/through the community. Then, now 6ft«h it Is that there are misrepresentations on the' part of individual churches in regard to other churches—especially if a church comes to great prosperity. AB long as a church is in poverty, and the singing is poor, and all the surroundIngB are decrepit, and the congregation are so hardly bostead in life that their pastor goes with elbows out, then there will always be Christian people in churches who say, "What a pity! what a pity!" But lot the day of prosperity come to a Christian church, and let the music be triumphant, and b3t there be vast assemblages, and then there will be even ministers of the Gospel critical and denunciatory and full of misrepresentation and falsification, giving the impression to the outside world that they do not like the corn because it is not ground in their mill. Oh, my friends, let. us in all departments of life stand back from deception. But some one says, "The deception that I practice is so small that it don't amount to anything." Ah, my friends, it does amount to a great deal. You say, "When I deceive, it is only about a case of needles, or a box of buttons, or a row of pins." But the article may be so small you can put it in your vest pocket, but the sin is as big as the pyramids, and the echo of your dishonor will reverberate through the mountains of eternity. There is no such thing as a small sin. They are all vast and stupendous, because they will all have to come under inspection in the Day of Judgment. You may boast yourself of having made a fine bargain—a sharp bargain. You may carry out what the Bible says in regard to that man who went in to make a purchase and depreciated the valuft of the floods, and then after he and iot.% time himself Worked at that ne^s.

T K J 7 \ ! i •g*iv en b'y Jud-g•e Cox of the supreme *th*s* n e^ighJbor^hoo^ds a^rouIn d this cSa?p*it*a^l court of the District of Columbia. The ait down and weep over theirs. case was that of John O. Wood, superintendent of mails at Louisville, Ky., who applied to the court to enjoin the postmaster-general from removing him. His claim was that his superior had no right to depose him without giving reasons, because of the civil service rule recently promulgated by the president, forbidding removals from the classified service except for Just cause and upon written charges. Judge Cox dismissed the complaint. He held that the power of removal is an inddeat to the power of appointment, and that both are lodged with the heads of departments. There can be no restrictions upon the power of removal except by sagialation, and any rules touching the matter, whether made by the president or dsdl service commiss i o n / a r e ~ void. Tsve enforcement of such rules la a matter that Ilea between the president and Ids cabinet In s similar case in the federal court at Chicago Judge Jenkins has given a similar decision. Under these interpretations of the taw there Is no logal remedy for the violation of the rule recently made, and the enforcement of that rule must depend solely on the enesutlve The tendency in all rural districts is to suppose that sins and transgressions cluster in our great cities; but cdtlzens and merchants long ago learned that it la not safe to calculate from the character of the apples on the top of the farmer's barrel what is the character of the apples all the way down toward the bottom. Many of oar citlsene and merchants have learned that it la always safe to see the farmer measure the barrel of beets. Mils: cans are not always honest There are those, who in country lifeJ seem to think they have a right to overreach grain dealers and merchants of all styles. They think it la more honorable to raise corn than to deal In corn. The producer sometimes practically says to the merchant, "You get your money easily, anyhow." Does he get it easily? White the farmer gleepe,and he may go to sleep, conscious of the fact that his corn and rye are all the time progressing and/adding to his fortune or his livelihood, the aaerehant tries to sleep, while conscious of the fact that «i 1 bat moment the ehJe a n y be driving o s / t a e rock, or « wave sweeping over the bsurriens* deck snailsuppose he paid for it $23 instead of 925? Then he lies. But there are just as many falsehoods before the counter as there are behind the counter. A customer comes in and asks: "How much Is this article?" "It is five dollars." "I can get that for four somewhere else." Can he get it for four somewhere else, or did he say that just for the purpose of getting it cheap by depreciating the value of the goods? If so, he lied. There are just as many falsehoods before the^counter as there are behind the counter. • • * Social life ie struck through with insincerity. They apologize for the fact that the furnace is out; they have not had any fire in it all winter. They apologize for the fare on their table; they never live any better. They decry their most luxuriant entertainment to win a shower of approval from you. They point at a picture on the wall as a work of one of the old masters. They say it is an heirloom in the family. It hung on the wall of a eastie. A dnke gave it to their grandfather. People that will lie about nothing else will lie about a picture. On small income we want the world to believe we are affluent, and society today is struck through with cheat and counterfeit and sham. How few people are natural! Frigidity sails around, iceberg grinding against iceberg, Tou must not laugh outright; that la vulgar. Tour must smile. Tou musj not dash quickly across the room; that is vulgar. You must glide. Much of society is a round of bows, and grins and grimaces and oh's and ah's and he, he's and simperings and nsjnby-pambyism, a whole world of which is not worth one good honest teundf of laughter. From such a hollow seene the tortured guest retires at the elose of the evening, assuring the host that he has enjoyed himself. Society la become so contorted and^deformed in this respect that a mountain cabin where the rustics gather at a quilting or an apple-paring, has Hr^tt frescoed refrigerators of the metropolis. I pass on to speak of ecclesiastical lies, those which are told for the advancement or retarding of a church or sect It is hardly worth your while to ask an extreme Calvtuist what an Armialan believes. B e wiU teti you thai an Armlnlan believes that snssv bi had got away boasted of the splendid bargain he had made. "It Is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth." It may seem to the world a sharp bargain, but the recording angel wrote down in the ponderous tones of eternity, "Mr. So-and-so, doing business on Pennsylvania Avenue, or Broadway, or Chestnnt Street, or State Street, told one lie." May God extirpate from society all the ecclesiastical lies, and all the social lies, and all the mechanical lies, and all the commercial lies, and all the agricultural lies, and make every man to speak the truth.of his neighbor. My friends, let us make' our life correspond to what we are. Let us banish all deception from our behavior. . Let us remember that the time comes when God will demonstrate before an assembled universe just what we are. The secret will come out. Ws may hide it while we live, but we cannot hide it when we die. To many life is a masquerade ball. As at such entertainment gentlemen and ladies appear tn garb of kings or queens, or mountain bandits, or clowns, and then at the close of the dance put off their disguise, so many all through life-are in mask. The masquerade ball goes onr and gemmed hand clasps gemmed hand, and dancing feet respond to |, dancing feet, and gleaming brow bends to gleaming brow, and the masquerade ball goes bravely on. But after a while languor comes and blurs the sight. Lights lower. Floor hollow with sepulchral echo. Music saddens into a wait Lights lower. Now the masquerade is hardly seen. The fragrance is exchanged for the sickening odor of garlands that have lain a long while in the damp of sepulchres. Lights lower. Mists fill the room. The scarf drops from the shoulder of beauty, a shroud. Lights lower. Torn leaves and withered garlands now hardly oov» '< er up the ulcered feet. 8lenjeVof lampwicks almost quenched.

In these times when backs are lame, when almost every other one we meet has now and then, or all the time, a back that iches or pains—"a weak back," "a bad back," a back that makes their life a missry to bear — and still they go on day by day in pain and suffering. Now 'tis the easiest thing In the world to give this played out back " a blow " that will settle it, and put fn its place a new one equal to any. It's just like tills: hit at the cause; most backaches come from kldnef disorders. Reach the kidneys, start their elogged-up fibres in operation; when this Is done you can say good-bye to backache. Here is a case from Battle Creek: Mr. Joslah M. Sboup lives at HI Broad Street, lm was a member of the Battle Creek police force for many years.

Here is what be says about it: "About three years ago, while on the Eolice force, I contracted from exposure a idney trouble, wl<ich has si ace given me no end of trouble. The pain was right through my kidneys and across the small of my back; if sitting down and I wanted to stand up, I had to arise very slowly- and gently to avoid increasing the pain; I had such tired-out feelings air the time, and I was steadily getting worse. About two months ago, hearing of Doan's Kidney Pills, X got a box. Their action and effect was most complete, they removed the old aching pains for good.

And yet—these are not all! "Three," I make shift to reply, regarding her gravely as she poises the old Dutch sugar tongs tentatively over my cup. As she offers the Assam-Pekoe in its jeweled bauble of a chalice, a wave of the fragrant liquor overflows upon my wrist, "Oh, I have hurt you!" she cries. "Irremediably," I reply. The word, as I utter it, staggers with significance. She lifts her eyes, under puzzled brows, to mine. "Surely," she hazards, softly, "the pain will soon be gone?" "It is undying," I aver solemnly, "and yet," I add, "I cherish it." "Then I may give you another brimming cup, since you woo pain?" Alas, might she not have said more truly, "Slnae you woo painfully." "No, I will have no more tea." "I may give you coffee, then?** "Nor coffee." ^ "Chocolate?"

"Would you caress a dead apostle with a living disciple so near?" I whisper. Her answer comes so low that I am fain to ask for it again, and yet again.

A woman's voice from the lattice overhead replies to my summons. . "This is not an inn." By the silver flutes of the great god Pan—her voice! All the charms that I cannot see are expressed Jn it—grace of the fawn, eyes of dawn, hair of the silky fineness of the spider web as it hangs across the sunset, brow thoughtful as the Matterborn's sky before its stars have risen, heart brave and tender.

Twenty-eight Uvea were lost j The train left Buffalo at 7:30 p. m. and had gone over nearly nine-tenths of the distance towards its destination when the engine plunged into the depths of the Hudson river. With Ms hand upon the throttle, the engineer sank with his engine to the bottom of the stream and the fireman, too, was at bis post Behind the engine was the express car, the combination car and the sleepers and these piled on top of the engine. It is known that it was a trifle foggy and that the track was not visible, but if there.was any break In the lines of the steel it must have been of very recent happening, for only half an hour before there had passed over it a heavily loaded passeng e r train. The section of road was supposed to be the very best on the entire division. There was a great heavy retaining wall all along the bank and while the tide was high the previous day it was not unprecedented. What seems to have happened was that underneath the* tracks and ties the heavy wall had given away and when the great weight of the engine struck the unsupported tracks it went crashing through the rest of the wall and toppled over into the river. As the train plunged OYer the embankment the coupling that held the last three of the six sleepers broke and they miraculously remained on the broken track. In that way about 65 lives were saved. Later reports from Garrisons say that 10 bodies have been recovered. A large number of passengers are as yet unaccounted for, but it is generally believed that many of them escaped from the cars before they sank and were given refuge in the three sleepers which remained on the track and were taken to New York before a complete list of the rescued could be secured. All of the sunken cars have been raised and burned. or turquoise^or i » p p h j r e ^ l i k ^ _ t h e ± ^ tem, Btoueu that glimmer on my mistress' white hands, who can tell? Not I.

Par tloularly was this true of the state election* In Ohio. Maryland and Virginia, where United States senators were In the balance, and in the municipal contest in Greater New York. The weather on election aay was raw and wet all over the country, yet in spit* of the inclemency a good vote was polled, especially in the cities. In Greater New Yorlf. The campaign for the Mayoralty of Greater New, York was the most sensational in the history of the city. It opened with the promise of a straight fight between the Republicans and Democrats, with the chances in favor of the latter, because of the foreign'born opposition to the Raines* liquor law, which greatly restrlcted the liquor dealers and was a Republican measure. However, there soon developed a feeling which called for a citizens' ticket to oppose the Republican "ring," led by Senator Thoe. Piatt. The Citlsens' Union leaders asserted that the regular Republican organisation and Us managers were quite as offensive to good cltisens as those of Tammany. The latter, led by the old chief, Richard Croker, dictated the Democratic nomination and named Robert A. Van Wyck for mayor, which caused a split in their ranks and the "Thomas Jefferson" Democrats chose Henry George as their standard-bearer,- and he was soon waging a fight that amased ali the other political parties, i From the Battery to the Bronx; from Staten Island to Rockaway he preached the rights of man and denounced the socalled party "bosses" with a fierce energy that electrified the city, and attracted a following which greatly disturbed the other parties.

On election day the polling came within 60,000 of the entire registration, which, considering the weather conditions, under which the election proceeded, was all that could be expected. The day was wet, foggy, "muggy" to a degree. It was such a day as, in the years gone by, when voters lined up in the street* to . await their chance to cast their ballots to the judges inside, was ealta* .'''good Democratic weather." There was a general suspension of business and nearly everybody who waa ouallfled had the opportunity of voting. It was only in the outlying sections that the exercise of the right of franchise was attended wltb any inconvenience. Within a few hour* after the close of the polls It was seen that Tammany's victory in the first municipal election in Greater New York was a sweeping one. The only question remaining to be settled at that time was the one of plurality by which the entire ticket headed by Robert A. Van Wyck carried the gtgantlc municipality. The first reliable estimates placed ft *t about 50.000. Van Wyck polled a vote which falls possibly 40,800 under the combined votes of Gen. Tracy and Beth Low. The latter was successful to the extent of polling an ag- ?:regate vote la exoees of the 148,«» pledges mplied by the signature* of the petition u p o n whioh ho ha fa mo t h e Candida tfi ftf Independent movement. The total number of vote* cast was not far either.way from half a million. The indication* are that Van Wyck received ao.000; Low. 145.000; Tracy, 100.080 and George, 16,000. The aggregate is swelled by a few thousand votes cast for Oleaaon, independent Democrat; Saniel. socialist, and Wardwell, Prohibitionist. On the -eity ticket wltb Judge Van Wyck, Bird S, CoTer is elected comptroller and Randolph Ouggenheimer president of the municipal council. The lerelative branch of the city government is Tammany-Democratic, and the Demoorat* have won a majority ot the county and borough offices along with the municipal places. : The vote of Van Wyck in New York county is approximately the same a* was cast for Bryan in 1896. which was 135,©4. Gen Tracy (Rep.) polled approximately 564*00, against McKinley's vote of 156,359 In New York county, while Low (Citiaens' Union) polled approximately 77.000, and TSeorge (Jef. Dem.), 12,000. In Kings county, which Includes the city of Brooklyn, the- Bryaa vote was 76,882, while Van Wyck> vote will be almost the same. Against McKinley's vote of 109.185, Gen. Tracy polls approximately 25.000, while Low's vote is approximatels/ 6,000. In these two counties the straight Republican vote shows a /ailing off of nearly 176,000, or in excess of the total vote for Seth Low. while the Tammany vote equals. If it does not slightly exceed, that east for Bryan. Whatever might have been the result had Henry George survived the campaign Indications from the earliest return* were that the substitution of the son for the father as the mayoralty candidate of the Thomas Jefferson Democracy had proved a failure from any but the sentimental point of view. In fact the George candidacy made but a beggarly showing, less than 5 per cent of the votes in New York city having been cast for the son of the author of "Progress and Poverty." The George vote possibly suffered by the failure of the supervisor* of election to supply a large number of the precinct* with pasters to attach to the voting papers as required by law. • Following 1* the grand total of the votes received by the three leading candidates for mayor in Greater NeW York, complete return* havlng^heen received from all of the district*: Vain Wyck, 285JH; Low H8.M3; Tracy. 1W.8B.

The Republican state committee claim* confi- 4ently that they will carry Cuyahoga countv and make gain* in other counties. They state that they had anticipated losses In the pities on account of local fights in bosslsm and other faationai troubles, but that tbey had the best reports from rural distriots. The Republican gains seemed to come from the rural Democratic counties and the Democratic irains from the Republican counties In which the large cities are located. It will probably require an 'official count yet to Fettle the status of the Ohio legislature. The later returns show that while Gov. B^sh/ieil is -safely elected, by about < he-half the Republican plurality of last year, the Democrat* have made big gains in the election of legislator*. The Republicans lowered their claims to . a majority of Ave on a joint ballot, as follows: Senau~17 Republican*, 19 /Democrats;* house, 58 Republicans,. 51 Democrat*. Totals 75 Republicans, 70 Democrats. Wood county had been conceded to the Democrats but complete return* eanBed the Republicans to claim It. The Republicans In tot* claim give all of the fusion votes to the Democrats, but there is one of the four senators elected on the firslon ticket 5n Cincinnati who is a Republican —Senator Volgbt—and if he should Jfete with the Republicans on the organisation of the aerate or on anything else, that body will be a tie, with Lieut.-Gov, Joss*, Republican, having the decldbpg vote. With a majority of seven in the house the Republicans.can organise it without trouble and would have the advantage in contested- seat*. Chairman McConville, of the Democratic Btate- committee, wJH not concede the Republicans' claims. M e takes the representatives from Wool and Noble counties from their list, also the senator from the Marton-Loga* district, and said these three change* would make the legislature staBS* 73 Democrats to 72 Republicans, and he- would never give either of these three doubtful member* up till t h e official count was completed. He also contests the election of two of the 12 members from Cuyahoga county, which would make the legislature stand 75 Democrats and 70 Republicans. The Republican state1 committee claim* that the two representatives from Summit county are the only one* in doubt, and th&t the returns show the house to stand 58 Republicans, 40 Democrats and two doubtful, and 'that in their claim* of 75 to 70 with a majority of 5 on joint ballot for senator, they have so far conceded Summit county t* the Democrat*, although they expect the official count to sjve them at least one of the two reprotive* from that county.

In the event of the Republicans securing the legislature on as close a margin as ie now claimed by them and not conceded by the Democrats, Chairman Mc- Conville predicts that Senator HannS will secure the caucus nomination, httt fail of election, and that the session of the Ohio legislature the coming; winter would break the record for factional fighUsg and disturbances. In this connection there are rumors that Gov. Bushnell will be brought oUt for senator against Marcus A.

This was encouraging, and I continued their use. I took five botes in all, with the happy result that I was completely cured. I have never heard of any medicine which had such a pronounced and radical effect, and yet sot atfeet the system generallyand leave it In such a good condition, I feel better now than I ever did.

She continued ber preparations, and when all was done, she still lingered in the house, as if fearing to face the world. At length she remembered Sutherland, remembered the pledge to him and eue resolved to keep It. She would go to him, tell him part* if not all her story, and ask his advice. She took little Leon by the hand and left the house/ passing hurriedly through the streets, until she came to Sutherland's lodgings. She inquired for him, and found to her dismay that he was already gone. He had left the rooms on the previous night and returned to Scotland, When she first heard the news, Marjorie felt aa if her last hope had gone indeed, and she maved away trembling and almost in tears; but after a moment's reflection, she acknowledged to herself that perhaps, after alL it was for the best. What possible good, could have resulted from an interview with Sutherland? She would in all probability have brought trouble upon him by telling him her own and she had worked mischief enough already to all her kin. No; she would troable them no more, but, with little Leon to comfort her,'she would remain as one dead, buried sn the great city where she had n o t one friend. n O A D Q V HEWDtSCQVetY;*** •WWlaJsS«t3aKfctors-n«d -te"aa«ys * IIIMCVT£I AIR INHALER SraV«««al rcHhacsss of Oataffth as* Lass Da> l i r f a £ c 6 M t o e * * B a A a W .

He stopped, looked at her curiously, stooped down to look at her more closely, and demanded her business there. The woman stirred, but did not rise, and the child, which she held clasped closely to her, uttered a feeble cry. The gendarme paused a moment, then lie bent dowa, took her by the ahooMer, and gave her a vigorous kenhb caws* CuahiUi hoy in French, and not onr of those who had known her In earlier days would have reepgnized taarjorie Annan. Yet it was Marjorie—ty starving woman looking at her starving child. Two months had passed since she had left Caussidiere, and ever since that day her troubles had increased. Until now there seemed nothing left to her but to beg or starve. It was now broad daylight and troops of workingmen were passing along to their day's labor, women were passing along with heavy burdens, pretty seamstresses tripping along to too shops where they served all dayr and In the open road a stream of country carts, laden with produce, was flowing in from the town gate. No one noticed Marjorie, those who did glance at her seeing nothing to distinguish ber from the other waifs to be found in all large cities. But presently she saw coming toward her a burly figure, carrying on its shoulders a piece of wood, from which depended two heavy cans. It was the figure of a woman, though one of man-like strength, who, to complete the masculine appearance sported a black moustache and a whisker-like down on either cheek. The woman was singing in a deep man's voice. She Was about to pass by when she was attracted by little Lecn. "A thousand devils!" she muttered to herself; then, striding toward the bench, she demanded. "What « the matter? U the child 111?" Marjorie looked up and met the gleam of two great black eyes, bold but kindly. She could not speak, but turning her head aside, sobbed ngalr. "Poor little mother," growled *iib. stranger to herself. "She is almost a child herself. Look up! Speak to me! What are you doing here?" The tone was so gentle and sympathetic; though the voice and address were rough, that Marjorie cried in despair from the bottom of her heart: "Oh, madame, we have been here all night, and my little boy is starving!" "Starrtng-^the devil!" cried the woman. "Do you mean Itr* As she spoke she stooped down, freed herself q£ her load, and rested her cams upon the ground; then, openlag one of them, she took out a tin vessel brimful -of milk.

Her garments were threadbare, and here and there they hung in rags about her, so she shivered and ahcank hsJere every touch of the frosty wind.

I am Mother Jeanne, and I hawe had little ones of my own. Now, it is your turn, little aonan." Thus urged, Marjorie drank, too. Mother Jeanne watched her with grim onipassion. "You are too frail to be out in this Weather. Who are you? You are not a Frenchwoman^ by your tongue." "No, madame. I came from Scotland, but I have been in Paris a long time."

BOUT the TBTf time that Marjorie was w a n d e r i n g homeless ana hungry In the streets of Paris two persons were journeying toward the city of London by the night mail. . One was M i s s Hetherin gt on of the Castle; the other was, John Sutherland. For fully an hour neither of them had spoken; the old lady, looking fully twenty years older than when we last beheld her, lay back among the cushions of the carriage, and fixed her eyes upon a letter which she held in her hand. For about the tenth time that night she raised the paper, and read the words which were hastily scrawled thereon i "Dear Mother—I am in great trouble. I am Intsore need. Will you help me? I do not mind for myself, but to see my little child in want breaks my heart. "MARJORIE." She read it through; "then with a moan she let it fall again upon her lap. "Marjorie!" she cried, "my bairn, my bairn!" * From his corner of the carriage Sutherland watched in silence. He was utterly In the dark as to what it all meant. He only knew that they were traveling to Paris and to Marjorie. On the day before, as he had been quietly working at his pictures at home, his father having partially recovered, Miss Hetherington, whom he believed to be in Edinburgh, had suddenly appeared like a specter before him, and without a word of explanation had com> mandeds^iim 1» return with her to Paris. On hastening with her to the Castle he found that a stormy scene had been anaeted there; that Miss Hetherington, beside herself with rage, had actually struck Iter old attendant in the face iind turned her from the door. What it was all about nobody seemed to know, and after one glance into Miss Hetherington's wild eyes Sutherland knew that he had better not inoaire. So he quietly obeyed her orders, and the two started together by the night mall for the south. But although Sutherland had. been silent he had been none the less curioan; and now, seeias; 3mt Mies Hetherington's wild exekearaf was passing: away, he ventured tospeak: 'Miss Hetherington!** cried Johnnie Sutherland. "Is that a letter from Marjorie?- "Ay, from Marjorie." She held lorth her thin white hand, which now was~trembling violently, and as Sutherland took the letter ahe uttered a low moan again, and for the drst time that night her tears began to fall. Sutherland read the letter, then he looked at the data, and exclaimed: 'October! why, it's more than fom weeks old!" 'Ay, more than four weeks!" ahe moaned; then aaddenly etttiag erect, and looking fixedly into his face, she added: "Johnnie Satlserlaad^what has happened to her now?** "God knows; but maybe after all we are in time; bat how did H chance to be ao lone; in coming to yon?** "It went to the Oastle, Johnnie, and Myaie kept it there. When I came home from Edinburgh yesterday I found it lying on my desk waiting for me. It had been waiting far me for a month, yon see.** Sutherland was silent. He was more troubled than he eared to say. A month! Ah! he thought, what might not happen in that time to a woman and ohiM penniless and alone in the streets of Paris? He returned the letter with a sigh, and did all he could to roans and cheer his foawpanian. who, now that her excitement was over, suffered with a frightful reaction, and tremhiai and cried like a child. <ro as oojmncaa.)

Crop Failures in Ireland. ^•the alarming predictions of a failure of crops, and consequent impending a famine in Ireland lift* been corroborated by a dis patch from Loudon. The cries of warning which are rising in all parts of Ireland are not confined, as in former years, to the congested districts, but they come from all parts of the country. I t will be impossible for the farmers to make anything out of their cereals this year, for that crop has been irretrievably destroyed; and in comity Wexfosd^ on©-of-ther riehT est in the country, the potato crop is only fit for feeding cattle. The parish priests are presiding over meetings that are being held ''or the purpose of asking for a , eduction in rents, and they declare that not since 1847 has the outlook in farming districts been so bad. Potatoes have been a general failures, and hundreds of tons of hay have been ruined by t h e heavy rains and floods. Not only has the potatcjjjjteop been a failure, b u t other c B p s have been hopelessly injured by t h e unequalled severity of the season; and to make conditions worse, the prices of previsions are considerably increased. . The Irish Government has taken no action in the matter as yet to cope with the threatened famiue.—Ex. Uow to Care Billions Otlte.

STOMEY A SMITH. State of Michigan. i Attorney-General's office, Lansing, Mich., Oct. 21,1897. \ ABTHCB W CIMMEB, ESQ., Chairman board of supervisors of Livingston county, Howeil, Mich. My Dear Sir:—1 have this day been waited upon in my office by a committee of your honorable board, the prosecuting attorney of Livingston county, Mr Louis £ flowlett, and by Mr Timothy Smith, drain commissioner of Livingston county. They represented to me that the board of supervisors of Livingston county had, by resolution, requested my opinion, in writing, as to the legality of certain steps that hare been heretofore taken relative to the cleaning out of a certain drain, known and designated as the "CedarBtverState Swamp Land Improvement," located and established in the townships of Leroy and Locke, in Ingham county, and in the townships of Iosco, Handy and Conway in the county of Livingston. The sole question presented to m o and, as I understand it, the sole question considered by your board is this: A s to whether or not it waa competent for the drain commissioner of your oounty to enter into a contract for the cleaning o u t of said drain as an entirety under a notice which stated, among other things, the following: •'The dimensions of said drain will be found marked on stakes placed along the line of said drain. Said job will be let by sections. T h e section a t the outlet of aaid drain will be let first, and t h e remaining sections in their order up stream, in accordance with t h e diagram now on file with the other papers pertaining to aaid dram in tbe office of the said Livingston oounty drain commissioner, to which reference may be had by all parties interested, and bids be made and received accordingly. Contracts will, be made with the lowest repeoneiblo bidder giving adequate security for the performance of the work in a sum then and there to be fixed by us," etc. T h e question, lp other words, is this, was it legal to let the job as an entirety under a notice stating that it would be let in sections? I am of the opinion that this oould not be done. It is elementary that, in all proceedings similar to the one now under consideration, the notice required by t b e statute must be given. I think it is also equally well settled that a notice in each pcooeedtagSTie this is the real foundation of the proceedings. I t performs a most important function and nan, in numerous decided cases, been oanaidered jurisdictional. T h e notion HI queation did s o t give notion to t h e nueiic of the action Whioh was actually tajses under it. I t is i, '-ft , . / • / I.Me«ei ***• .^'PWs^reaSSJi^BJBflj, a matter ot t h e greatest importance t o taxpayers t h a t public work should n o t only be well done, b u t be done in t h e most eoonomioal manner. In many cases this result cannot be obtained unless t h e widest publicity is Riven. I t is possible that in this very oaae if in t h e notice it had been s e t forth that the j o b was t o be let a s an entirety a large number o f bidders would have been on t h e p o u n d a4d t h e result might have been that t h e vwould have been l e t for a less s u m than that for which It was actually let. B u t b e U a t as i t may, I think It is a matter of great public oonoern w j j h 1 0 * 1 the taxpayers, upon whom the burden is thrown, are greatjy interested, that t o e proceedings b e regular and legal, and that there is a very serious question as t o whether these proceedings were legal. I therefore express this opinion, that the board of supervisors of Livingston county should refuse to order t h e t a x t o be spread for. t h e reason that under t h e notice, as published, t h e drain commissioner had n o legal authority t o let t h e job and make a contract for t h e work in its entirety. Then, parties interested may obtain a writ ofmandamu* from the proper oourt, and In t h e issue, whioh will thereafter be joined, the question of law can be fairly presented to t h e courts and an authoritative and final decision reached. I have examined t h e case of Smith vs. CarloiCy whioh was decided b y t h e supreme oourt in an opinion filed on July 16,1897. In my opinion that case has no application whatever t o the case w e are now considering, for t h e reason that in that case these words are found in t h e notice:' "Said job will be l e t as o n e section, as we determined it t o be impracticable to divide said letting into more than o n e section." There it was expressly stated that the job would be let as an entirety, and not by sections. If t h e course that I advise is followed it seems t o me that it would b e bast for all oonoerned. It t h e supreme oourt should hold that the drain commissioner had t h e power to let the job and enter into t h e contract as h e did then all that will have to be done will be for t h e tax to be duly spread. If, on the other hand, t h e supreme oourt should decide that t h e commissioner had no power t o let t h e job and enter into the oontraot for t h e reason above indicated, then proper proceedings can be instituted to accomplish t h e purpose desired. The whole matter should - be amioably considered, and if s o considered t h e question can b e settled speedily and without muoh expense. Yours very respectfully, F E E D A. MAYNABD, Attorney General.
