“ Th— ”
Merciful God!
What was that?
From behind the would-be murderer,
as he stood against the mantel, there
came a rattle and a crash that sounded
in the sunlit silence of the room like a
miniature volley of musketry.
The man started, and with a fierce
oatli wheeled around to face the unex­
pected danger which he thought men­
aced him from the back, and as he did
so his elbow hit against the corner o f
the shelf, his fiDgers, which had been
all too ready to send liis victim’s inno­
cent soul into eternity, pressed heavily
upon the trigger.
There was a sharp
report, ‘ a puff of choking, blinding
smoke, a groan; and 1ben for the first
time in all her yoimg life, Annie faint­
ed; conscious only, as the dreadful
darkness o f insensibility enveloped her,
o f a heavy body falling near lier with
a jar and a crash that seemed to shake
the little house to its foundations.
Annie did not have brain fever, as a
novelist’s heroine would have been in
duty bound to do after such an exper­
ience as hers,-but it was weeks before
sbe began to feel like herself again,
and during those weeks Fred, who fell
conscience-stricken at the danger to
which her lonely home had exposed
her, bad her moved to a cheeiful little
house in the village where there were
neighbors on either band.
“1 never want you to be alone again
a minute in your life,” lie said; “ after
such a close call as that, little woman,
I am going to look after you in the
future.” And he kept his word. *
Fox, although never quite as Dimble
as before, recovered bis health and
spirits in time, but was ever after a
perfect monomaniac on the subject of
tramps, going almost into fits at the
sight of any one whom lie could possi­
bly suspec-t of belonging to that ilk.
A nd Annie shared bis sentiments to
a degree. Eyen now, as she sits among
her babies, the happiest little woman
in the world, her rosy cheeks will pale
and a cold shudder w ill creep over her
as sbe thinks o f that afternoon when
she stood for those few dreadful mo­
ments, on the very brink o f eternity.
The little alarm clock occupies the
place o f honor in their household, for
it was the means of sending tbe shot
intended for Annie into the heart of
her intended murderer. "Wound np by
mischievous band, it went off just at
the moment when Annie’s life was
forfeited, and terrifying the wretched
criminal who thought help had come
to his victim, caused him to send him­
self with all his crimes upon his guilty
soul into the presence o f his Judge.
A t the moment when the alarm
sounded there was only an instant be­
tween A nnie and death; but when
that instant was past she was safe,
with the prospect of long years of life
and happiness before her, and the man
who had been about to end her life
was laid low —never to rise again. It
was, indeed, as Fred said, “ a close call.”
On a Cattle Ranch.
The wise man from the East, on first
visiting a ranch comprising six or seven
hundred thousands of acres, cannot
undeistand how the cattle wandering
at large over the range are ever col­
lected together.
He sees a dozen or
more steers here, a bunch of horses
there, and a single steer or two a mile
off, and even as he looks at them they
disappear in the brush, and as far as
his chance of finding them again would
be, they might as well stand forty
miles away at the other end of the
ranch. But this is a very simple prob­
lem to the ranchman. The superintend­
ent of the ranch perhaps receives an
order calling for one thousand head of
cattle.
The breed of cattle the firm
wants is grazing in a corner of the
range fenced in by barbed wire, and
marked a pale blue for convenience on
a beautiful map blocked out iu colors,
like a patchwork quilt, which hangs in
the superintendent’s ofiiee. When the
order is received ho sends a Mexican
on a pony to tell the men near that
particular pale blue pasture to round
up a thousand head of cattle and at
the same time directs his sui>erintendent to send in a few days as many cow­
boys to that pasture as are needed to
“hold” a thousand head o f cattle on
the way to the railroad station. Tlie
boys on the pasture, which we will
suppose is ten miles square, w ill take
ten of their number and five extra
pon es apiece, which one man leads,
and from one to another of which-tbey
shift their saddles as men do in polo,
and go directly to the water tanks in
the ten-square miles o f land. A cow
will not often wander more than two
and a half miles from water, and so
with the water tank or a dammed
canon full o f rain water, as a rendez­
vous, the feeding o f the cattle is com­
paratively easy, and ten men can round
up a thousand herd In a day or two.
When they have them all together, the
cowboys who are to drive them to the
station have arrived and take them off.
A t the station the agent o f the firm
and the superintendent o f the ranch
ride through the herd together, and if
they disagree as to the fitness of any
one or more of the cattle, an outsider
is called in’, and his decision is final.
The cattle are then driven on to the
cars, and the superintendent’s respon­
sibility is at an end.
Victoria’s Throne.
The English throne, used in the
coronation ceremonies of the kings and
queens of Great Britain, is simply an
old oaken chair of curious pattern and
great antiquity.
Ages of use (it is
known to have been used in its present
capacity for more than seven hundred
years) have made the old frame as hard
and as tough as iron. The magic pow­
er attributed to tbe old relic lies in the
seat, which is a large, rough sandstone.
Ages before it was trimmed in velvets
and .gold for the use o f the Stuarts
and Tudors it served as a seat for the
early kings o f Scotland; tradition eyen
asserts that it is the identical stone
upon which the patriarch Jacob rested
his head the night he had "his wonder­

The Rights of Labor anti the Law s
of the Laud.
The laws o f this country are the
fairest, the most reasonable and the
most just laws that history records.
The principles which they embody are
those which have been recognized as
fair and just by all civilized nations in
all ages, by the best and ablest men in
those nations, and also by tbe greatest
religious leaders and organizations of
the world. The liberty of the individ­
ual and the welfare o f the two chief
interests of all just laws and all good
government. These two interests are
cared for in this country more careful­
ly and intelligently than they have
been in any other. This is proved
by the fact that to get an anarchist we
have to import him ready made. The
sunshine of our laws and customs is
too genial for their breeding here. It
is also proved by the fact that hun­
dreds o f thousands, yes, millions of
men, since we became a nation, have
under our laws developed their lives
from a low beginning in ignorance,
poverty and obscurity into intelligence,
usefulness and prosperity. It is un­
der bad laws that such things can be
done.
It is only reasonable, therefore, that
labor organizations should be urged
not only to obey the laws o f the land,
but to teach their adherents that to
obey these laws is their first and most
important duty.
The weakmss o f
these organizations has been, and is
today, that they claim—not in words,
perhaps, but iu acts that the organiza
tion o f wage workers into unions gives
them certain “rights” not before pos­
sessed. The leaders o f labor unions
can engage
in no better work
than to teach their followers that
whatever claim o f “ rights” cannot be
enforced under the law is not right,
and must be abandoned. I f this hail
been by labor union leaders, the twelve
men who were recently shot to death
at Homestead would be alive today,
and the red smear o f murder would
not appear on so many j>ages o f the
history o f labor uniohs.
One o f the facts which organized
labor would do well to understand is
that under the laws o f this country a
man may work for whom he pleases
and for any price that may be agreed
on between him and bis employer,
and that the employer may at
any time cease to employ him and
lure some one else in his place. EtnDloyes and employers have precisely
equal rights in these matters. Anoth­
er fact equally important is that the
law will punish the man who, by physieial force, prevents another from
working. To do so is a lawless act,
and that it is done by or for benefit of
organized labor makes no difference.
The law does not take cognizance of
organized labor any more than it does
o f red-haired or temperance, or Catho­
lic or Proteslaut labor. A nd not only
tbe lay o f tbe land, but also tbe senti­
ment ot" rigbt-thinkiDg people every­
where makes it an evil and an inexcu­
sable act to prevent the man who needs
work and wants to work from doing so.
H ow much sympathy for labor is
there in tbe sentiment which beats
a man black and blue when he applies
for the work the wages o f which bis
hungry family needs—because he does
not belong to a union ? What^orfc of
charity would that be which would refuse help to a starving child unless its
mission was enrolled in some Sunday
class?
Still another point to be learned by
combinations o f labor is that they can­
not claim from the law the same re­
cognition which it gives to employers
until they become equally responsible
before the law.
A s it is now the em­
ployer can he compelled to make good
any violations of contract with his
employes. But if his employes, acting
through a labor union, sign a contract
today and break it greatly to his pecu­
niary injury, tomorrow, he has no re­
dress. This has recently happened at
Pittsburg, where several hundred em­
ployes, after signing an agreement to
work, broke their agreement without
any lawful reason, leaving the works
idle. In such a case the employer has
no remedy. The labor union insists
being “recognized,” and uses all lawful
and even many unlawful means to se­
cure recognition, and yet has nothing
o f that responsibility before tbe law
upon which, ODly, ean one business
concern recognize another. When the
law compels labor unions to become
pecuniarily responsible for their ac­
tions, some phases o f the labor ques­
tion will he settled. Employers will
prefer to deal with a responsible or­
ganization rather than with indivi­
duals.— Railway Master Mechanic.
Spoil taneons Combustion.
Dr. Kedzie, professor of chemistry
in the Michigan State Agricultural
College at Lansing, in a recent address
before the Michigan Association of
Fire Underwriters, said:
“Vegetable
oils, and especially spirits of turpen­
tine, tend to take oxygen rapidly from
the air, and thus generate heat. The
large extent o f surface exposed to the
air promotes this oxidation, and the
rags being poor conductors o f heat, re­
tain the beat produced by oxidation,
and hence arises the danger of sponta­
neous combustion.
The danger is in­
creased if the rags are moist. Similar
instances o f spontaneous combustion
are seen in havmows, when tbe hay
has been put up damp. The danger is
greater where the rags are soiled by
vegetable oils, for example, linseed
and cotton oil, and especially spirits
o f turpentine used in making varnish.
“One -day, while returning from
Lansing, I saw Mr. Lapman rush out
o f his planing mill with a box o f smok­
ing sawdust in his hands, which burst
into flames when thrown upon the
road. A painter had rubbed the paint
from his bands with th e s iw d u s tin
the box, departed unconeious of dan­
ger. W ithin fifteen minutes the oil o f
this paint thus spread over a large sur­
face o f sawdust was smoking and just
ready to break into flame.
The danger from spontaneous com­
bustion is increased where a quantity
o f greased rags are left in a pile so
loosely placed as to allow a free access
of air, yet so compact as to keep in the
heat caused by oxidation. The miner­
al oils are much less liable to sponta­
neous combustion than vegetable oils.”
A young man who claims to know
whereof he speaks says, in regard to
the chewing gum habit, that the con­
stant action o f tbe jaws in chewing
has a tendency to harden the muscles
o f the mouth and cheek, giving the
face a bard criminal expression, while
the undue flow o f saliva leaves the sal­
ivary glands dry, the soft plate be­
comes hard, the voice cracked, harsh

The trees are not deciduous, although
their leaves fall in part during the
dry season, which extends from Octo­
ber to May. A t the end of the rainy
season, many North American mi­

advances they retreat to the coast re­
gion, and are not seen again until an­
other year. Bird life is more abund­

A W a te r W e ig h t Railroad.
A novel form o f incline railway has
been built at Bridgenortb, England.
It connects the upper and lower parts
of the town, communication between
which was formerly divided by means
o f steps cut in the solid rock. The
length o f the track is only 201 feet, but
its vertical rise is i l l feet. There are
two cars, on separate lines o f rail, and
they are connected by a steel cable
passing around a wheel at tlie top.
They are thus balanced, and a prepon­
derating weight is given, whichever
is at the top, by pumping a supply of
water into a tank placed in the frame
o f the car. The steel rails are secured
to lies which are bolted to the solid
rock and also imbedded in concrete.
The brakes are normally on the wheels,
and motion is only possible while the
brakesman turns his handle.
The
track is out o f the solid rock, so that it
shall not spoil the beauties o f the land­
scape.
A n Omen.
A s a German wedding procession
was leaving the bride’s house to go to
church, the dress o f the heroine o f the
occasion caught to tbe knob o f a dcor,
which made a big rent in it.
It was

palpitated at tbe eyil omen.
Passing
through the door o f the church the
dress again caught on a book and a
hole larger than the first was, made.
That was tco much o f a bad portent
for the bride. She turned abruptly and
would not be held back.
Neither her
family Dor tbe bridegroom was able to
make an impression on her. Sbe would
not run into a life of bad luck with
her eyes opened. The bereaved groom
had to look for another mate.

An excellent disinfectant is said to

considerably stirred up over the report
o f Labor Commissioner Charles F.
Feck, of New York, a simon-pure
Democrat appointed by Gov. Hill. Un­
doubtedly Mr. Peck wishes his repo t
could substantiate the plank in the
National Democratic platform which
says: “ W e dei ounce Republican pro­
tection as robbery.”
But he was com­
pelled to report matters as ho found
them,
Here are some o f the facts he
iintls: “ During the first year o f the
McKinley bill there was a net increase
o f money paid for wages in the State
o f N ew York to the extent of §(>,377,025, as compared with the last year of
t ie old tariff.
In the same year
there was a net increase o f money
representing the value o f articles pro­
duced by sixty-seven industries to
the extent of §31,815,130. During the
first year o f the McKinley bill ” 7 per
cent of tbe 0,000 firms that replied to
bis inquiries showed either an increase
in wagt’3 paid by them, or an increase
o f things produced by them, o •both.”
In a newspaper interview Mr. Peck
says:
I rather expected my report would
cause some commeut, but it is all non­
sense to c*all it a political document. I
started this inquiry in December, 1890,
so you see there is no thought o f the
present campaign in laying out the
work. The tariff question was taken
up because it has tvome to he one o f the
greatest moment to workingmen in
whose interest my bureau was (stab
lished. Now, 1 am a Democrat—a Hill
Democrat, i f you will— an I began this
inquiry with the belief that the result
would" vindicate the Democratic tariff
position. The trst returns came from
the silk industry and were pleasing to
my way of thinking. But I am free to
admit that the report on the. who e is
not in harmony with the Democratic
platform, so far as the tariff is con­
cerned. However, my duty as a State
official is to report things as I (iud
them, not as a reckless partisan should
like to have them construed. There is
no political litas about any o f my re­
ports, nor do I believe thpre is in any
o f the reports o f any labor bureau m
the country. A il i can say is that the
statements o f my report are based on
actual confidential letters received from
0,000 representatives o f wholesale
manufacturers of New Y oik State.
The result shows me that the leading
Democratic speakers on the tariff are
in error as to the effects o f the McKin­
ley bill.
The figures in my report
speak for themselves, and there is no
getting away from them.
Thus is the Democratic lie that the
McKinley tariff bill is to the disadvant­
age o f the laboring people proven to be
a lie by a prominent Democrat who
was compelled, in his official capacity,
to tell the truth.
George William Curtis, the wellknown editor o f Harper’s Weekly, and
famous as an author and leader in
civil service reform, died in New York,
yesterday morning.

Dundee wants a Republican paper.
am i R epu blican Directness*—
Tlie platforms of the two leading
parties in the state are now before the
people for their selection. The. Demo­
cratic platform is a notable combina­
tion of dodges, especially significant for
what it omits. Voters w ill look in vain
for any words o f encouragement on
certain subjects in which they are di­
rectly interested, but will find evasions
and misrepresentations enough on
other subjects. On the contrary the
Republican platform deals with the
recognized evils of the day and tells
the people what the Republican party
proposes to do about them.
" The Democratic platform commends
“ the honest, faithful and economical
administration o f Gov. Edwin B.
Winans, who has set an example well
worthy o f emulation,’ ’ but the conven­
tion gave the lie to the platform by
turning down, in cold blood, the only
Democratic governor the party had
succeeded in electing for 38 years. That
was “ emulation” with a vengeance.
It commends “ the. action of Gov
Winans in recommending- to the legis­
lature in special session a commission
to devise means for the improvement
of our’ country roads;” but it does not
explain why "the Democratic legisla­
ture of 1S91 spent six months in regular
session, without doing anything on the
subject of road improvement, and then
in the extra session shuffled the re­
sponsibility off on the “ next legisla­
ture.” The only rational explanation
is that the Democrats know that the
“ next legislature” will be Republican
and quite competent and willing to
attend to tlie matter.
It condemns tlie present system of
employment of convict labor and
recommends “ the adoption of such
legislation as will change the present
system * * * either by engaging
them in constructing the highways of
the state or such other manner as the
legislature may deem best;” lmt it
utterly fails to notice the fact that
that change is one o f the great tilings
thatWrere to be accomplished by tlie
“ squawbueks,” but was given up in
despair after six months o f experimen­
tation on several proposed sell ernes.
Again the Democracy desires to shift
responsibility upon the next legislature.
It also declares “ that it is the duty
o f the state legislature to establish a
proper tribunal with power to summon
defendants before it, adjust all dis­
putes and enforce its judgments by
proper process.” Then it pledges the
Democracy to the establishment of such
a tribunal. It does not mention tbe
fact, however, that the Republican
legislature of 1SS9 passed an act for
that very purpose, hut that Gov.
"Winans not only neglected hut posi­
tively refused to make the necessary
appointments to carry the act into
effect. Nor does it explain why the
Democratic legislature o f 1801 did not
pass a better act if that of 1SS9 is not
good enough.
Then Hie platform throws in two
recommendations that no one has
asked for and in which the people w ill
take very little interest, viz: Tho
election o f mine inspectors and rail­
road commissioners by the people.
This is the sum total of wliat tho
Democracy intends to do for the people
if retained in power.
On the other hand the Republican
platform deals directly and fearlessly
with the two evils in the state of which
the people have most complained, viz:
The length of legislative sessions and
the railroad pass. Note the language
o f the platform:
Long sessions o f tlie legislature are an
unnecessary expense to (lie public, and wo
condem n th e practice, and pledge the people
th a t if th e R epu blican party bas con trol o f
tlie n e x t legislature, tb e business w ill bo
done with fidelity and prom ptness.
T h a t the n e x t legislature should subm it
to the people, a con stitutional amendm ent
providing th a t a ll com pensation to legis­
lators should cease a t tlie expiration o f 100
days from tb e date such legislature shall
convene.
T h a t we condem n the practice o f railroad
com panies in giving passes to and the sam e
being a ccepted b y legislators and o ilie r
pu blic officials, and dem and th at such laws
shall be enacted as will effectu ally p u t a
stop to this evil.
Those two subjects were the ones on
which tho Democracy founded its
loudest campaign Iiowis in 1890, hut
when it found itself unexpectedly in
power it failed utterly in dealing- with
them.
It has preserved a discreet
silence in its present platform, in hopes
that the people will overlook the sub­
jects and its cowardly attitude in
reference to them.
The Democratic platform in fact
says nothing and was intended only
for a sham. It indicates but another
of that party’ s usual changes of base.
That party has no principles this cam­
paign and wants none. It does not
wish to he hampered by any lines of
policy, for its campaign w ill be made
entirely on the assumed popularity of
its candidate for governox-—a man who
has been all tilings to everybody ever
since lie left the Republican party.

The Democrats have made a great
parade of the fact that the last legis­
lature passed an act requiring evei-y
corporation to pay a tax of one-half of
one mill on each dollar of its capital
stock, when articles of association are
filed in tlie secretary of state’s office.
They take unto themselves all the
credit o f it and expatiate at great
length upon the large sums o f money
that will flow into the treasury from
the tax. But they utterly ignore tho
fact that the law is a Republican con­
ception. Gov. Luce in his retiringmessage to the legislature pointed out
this legitimate subject o f taxation,
lie said:
A rticles o t incorporation are flaiiy filed
with on r Secretary o f State. TJic labor,
cares and responsibility are perform ed
w ithout expense to the corporation. M any
o f I lie sl ates co lle ct a teo or im pose a tax
a t tho tim e incorporations are form ed.
gUiiln large sum s are in tin's w ay collected
that operate to sumo extent as a re lie f to
other property.
This recommendation was tho origin
of the law, Bnt the “ squawbueks”
made a botch of the job. Tho law
applies only to corporations of tills
state, while there is.nothing to prevent
the organization of foreign corpora­
tions for doing business here. The law
can lie evaded by incorporation under
the law of some other state that does
not require a tax. Thus the act is in
reality but a discrimination against our
own incoi’Dorators.

THE FIELD OF GETTYSBURG
is to the old soldier and the student the
most interesting of all the earth’s bat­
tle grounds. Those who go to Washing­
ton to attend tlie encampment <f the
G. A. R. in September, will have the
best opportunity of visiting Gettysburg
by taking the line of the Michigan
Central and tlie Northern Central,
which iucludes a side trip to Gettys­
burg either going or returning. For
those who wish to return by way of
Philadelphia, all return tickets will be
honored either via the short liueor via
Philadelphia, allowing stop-over at
Baltimore, Philadelphia and Harris­
burg. The stop at Philadelphia will
permit of a side trip to New York and
return at the low rate of § 4 .0 0 .
During the summer season tiie Mich­
igan Central gives the privilege of
stopping over at Niagara Falls at any
time within the life of the ticket re­
turning, upon depositing it with the
ticket agent there, affording a valuable
oppqitunity to see tiie beautifs of the
great cataract and vicinity at leisure.
Tickets are also sold to Washington
via Toledo and the lines south and
east therefrom.
The Michigan Central is tiie shortest
route, the best route, and offers induce­
ments that no other line can give. For
any additional information apply to

Tbe popularity o f “ Tbe Great Rock
Island Route” - as a Colorado line—it
having long time since taken first place
as tbe people’s favorite between the
Lakes and the Mountains—has com­
pelled the management to increase its
present splendid service by the addition
of a train that is one night on the road
from Chicago to Denver, Colorado
Springs or Pueblo.
This train will be
known as the “R o c k y M o u n t a in L im ­
it e d ,” and will be pub in service May 1.
Leaves Chicago daily at 10:45 a . m„ ar­
riving at above cities in the afternoon
of the next day, earlier than any o f its
competitors.
Especial equipment lias
been built tor this train, with tbe view
of making it a l im it e d J d every sense
of the word, and best o f all, there will
be no extra charge. Tlie route o f this
exceedingly fast tram is by tbe Rock
Island Short Line, and a few of the
large cities through which it passes,an
Davenport. Des Moines, Council Bluffs,
Omaha, Lincoln, Beatrice, Fairhury,
Belleville, Phillipsburg, Smith Centre,
Colby and Goodland. This makes it a
•most desirable route, and particularly
interesting to the traveler.
Another
point: The popularity of our diningcar service is still on the increase, and
no money spared to make this service
what 'our patrons always say, “ the
best.”
Our “ Big 0” will continue as usual,
leaving Chicago at 10 p. m ., and arriv­
ing at Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo the second morning, being but
one day out, and this fast popular train
goes through Omaha.
Our No. 11 will leave as heretofore
at 0 r. m ., arriving at Kansas City at
9:00 A. M , and will reach Denver, Colo­
rado Springs and Pueblo tlie -second
morning. .
Our Colorado service is made perfect
by this new “R o c k y M o u n t a in L im ­
it e d ’’ and the “ Big 5,” and gives to the
traveling public t w o f l y e r s d a i l y .
Manitou passengers should consult

fully appreciate the advantages in time
saved by taking this route, when on

N ag 's H e a d , N. C., Ang. 28.—Rev.
Thomas Dixon, Jr., preached, today for
the last lima this season at Hag's Head.
•The first Sunday in September he returns
to his pulpit iu Hew York. The serv­
ices at Nag’s Head have been attended
•with great, interest. Excursions from
surrounding towns brought many vis­
itors for Sundays only. Collections
were taken each Sunday and tamed
over to the hotel company for the pur­
pose of building a Union chapel on the
Cape Hattcras strip at Nag's Head. The
hotel has been crowded with visitors
and the season voted a great success.
The fishing has heeuas good this year as
it was last. The largest score made by
Hr. Dixon’s party was at Oregon inlet,
where in one day with five hoolrs over
SCO wealciish and spots were landed.
Airs. Dixon accompanies her husband
on all his excursions and is as enthu­
siastic over fishing and as successful as
himself.
The subject today was “ Heaven,”
from the texts:
When that which is perfect is come, that
w hich is in part shall he done away.
F or now wo see in a m irror darkly, hut then,
face to face: now I- know iu part, hut then
shall I know eveu ns also I have been known.—
I Cor. xiii, 10, 12.
A distinguished infidel has been ac­
customed to say with groat gusto that
the overthrow of the ancient system of
astronomy has completely abolished
heaven; that the sole foundation of
heaven was the notion that the earth
was fl.it, and that up in the clouds im­
mediately over our heads was the abid­
ing place of the gods; that with the
introduction of exact knowledge as to
the laws of the heaveuly bodies the
superstition o f heaven has been de­
stroyed. Is this a fact? Is the destruc­
tion of a conception o f heaven the de­
struction of heaven? Stay not my ideas
about heaven be all wrong, and yet
heaven he an intense reality?
The language used to describe heaven
even in the Scriptures is the language of
matter. It is the most exact language
that could he used perhaps to convey the
idea in the mind of the writer. Heaven
is described as a glorious city, with
magnificent walls, gates o f pearl, streets
of gold, thrones, scepters, diadems, all
the magnificence and power and glory
of the eastern mind used, in hahl literal­
ness to convey the idea o f its glory.
FINITE CANNOT COMPASS TIIF, INFINITE.
So of the description of hell. That
which is dark and terrible is brought
into service to convey to our minds the
clearest possible conception o f its awful
realities. But we must remember that
language is itself but words thrown at
ideas, and often conceals as maeh of the
idea as it reveals. It is not necessary to
believe that these words that signify
material things convey the complete
idea of spiritual and eternal things. The
finite cannot compass the infinite. W e
must recognize the limitations of lan­
guage, even to the language of inspira­
tion.
I do not believe, for my part, that
heaven is a square walled town, with
gates of precious stone, or of gold brick
pavements. Neither do I believe that
in hell they bum coal and wood, and
yet I believe in the reality o f heaven,
the reality o f hell. My conception of
heaven may be all wrong, my concep­
tion of hell all wrong; but my miscon­
ception of a reality cannot affect the
facts.
into and are a part of this earth. “ When
that'which is perfect is come, that which
is in part shall be done away.” That is
to say, we have a part of it now. W e
see heaven in part now. When the
process is completed the part shall be
made perfect. W e must understand
therefore that.it is at this end of the
line that the kingdom o f heaven is ex­
tended and gains its victories. Here,
not beyond the grave, rages the battle
of the eternities. In Kanlbach’s master­
piece tlie soldiers after three days o f
bloody battle lie down on the field upon
their arms and sleep, worn and weary
with their long continued strife. While
they sleep the spirits of the dead war­
riors rise and mount the pale horses
slain with their masters, and form in
spirit battalions over the beads of the
sleeping soldiers. The battle is re-en­
gaged and rages with all the fierceness
of life.
It is here in this world that the battle
of spirit is thus waged. Those who
sleep, who rest from their labors, have
gone ou beyond. They are iu the land
of the living. W c are in the land o f the
dying. But it is here amid the imper­
fections and incompleteness o f things
that the battle for perfection and com­
pleteness rages. There is joy in heaven
over what? One sinner that repenteth.
The joys of heaven are incident upon
the victories at this end of the line.
Following these lines we reach the per­
fected dwelling place of God. Where
God is, there is heaven.
NO HELL WHERE GOD IS.
A little negro boy was dying who
had professed Christianity. The preacher
thought to test his grasp of truth. He
declared that he was going to heaven to
be with Jesus. “ But,” says the preacher,
“ suppose that Jesus should descend iiito
hell, would yon follow him there?” He
hesitated a moment, and then there
flashed through his untutored mind the
eternal trntli. He replied, “ Yes, massa;
but there ean be no hell where Jesns is.”
Such is the fact. There ean be no hell
where God is. Where God is, heaven
reigns.
If a man desires to see heaven he can
see heaven here now by bringing him­
self in vit-al contact with God. Li the
development of his spiritual faculties,
in the expansion of his God nature, he
will see and feel and realize the eternal
verities of heaven here.
A MAN OF WE.VI.TH.
A man of wealth who was a leading
member in a eliurch, and yet who had
never learned the lesson o f sacrifice, had
never really learned the meaning o f the
cross, met his pastor one day and com­
plimented him on a sermon about
heaven. The pastor replied: “ Yes,
brother, but I would like for you to see
heaven. I have just come from a sick
woman’s house. She is in want of
bread. Yon have plenty. You have
not given much to the poor. Yon should
test this question for yourself. I will
tell yon how yon can see heaven. Go
down town, buy a load o f provisions,
take tliem to this home of poverty and
misery. Go with them yourself, kneel
by that bedside and pray. Tell this
widow that year have been negligent of
your duty, that you will be glad to as­
sist her distress, provide for her wants,
and let me know the result.”
He made the experiment. The next
day the pastor saw him his face was
beaming with joy. He said that he
staid in that sickroom for j v o hours,
and that he was two hours in heaven in
the presence of God. He had tested its
realities for himself in the gratitude and
surprise and joy of that home of pov­
erty, and in the sacrifice which he had
made producing these results, he had
brought himself in vital touch with tho
spirit o f God and with the realities of a
divine life.
crowns.' I am opposed to crowns. I am
a democrat—a world democrat.
I believe in the •
people governing, not
in the autocratic, eastern, imperial
idea. I have no aspiration to sit on a
throne and wave a scepter and feel the
weight of a crown on my brow. But
did not Paul say, “ I have laid up for
me a crown?” Yes, ho did. Let ns read
tho whole sentence: “ I have fought a
good fight, I have kept the faith.
Henceforth thero is laid up for me a
crown of righteousness.” Exactly. A
crown that is the result of a righteous
life here in tMs world.
BRUTAL WAR.
A crown is the symbol o f power. It
is nothing in itself. It is hut a figure,
it is hut a word. He who lives tMs life
o f righteousness w ill be endowed by the
inherent power of that righteousness.
He will wear the crown o f righteous­
ness commensurate with the strength of
righteousness developed here. The in­
habitants o f heaven will therefore be
tbe righteous, tbe redeemed. How a
mau can live a life of supreme selfish­
ness, though he profess ever so many
religious formulas, and expect heaven
as a reward is a mystery to me. Such
a man does not understand certainly
the alphabet o f God’s revelation to man.
Here is a man who spends Ms whole
life in tho machinations of a brutal com­
mercial system. His whole genius is
given solely to the work of this brutal
war. His ambition in life, the end to­
ward which Ms life is driven, is to cor­
ner the bread market of a world. The
attainment of this object would mean
poverty and wretchedness and hunger
and cold and misery and starvation to
thousands upon thousands, yet he bends
the energy of body aud soul to the ac­
complishment of this supreme act of
commercial genius.
CORNER IN CROWNS.
He thinks corners. He sleeps in cor­
ners. He lives aud moves and has Ms

“ When that which is perfect is come,

will have swallowed up and destroyed

The main point for the consideration
of the American people is that we cannot
admit the necessity of having and em­
ploying such an armed force as the
Pinkerton men without confessing to a
condition of things among us which we
must he ashamed of. That in the young
settlements of the far west, where the
legal relations between man and man
have scarcely taken a definite form, and
where self help in the largest sense is
still the order of the day, something like
private war should occasionally he re­
sorted to for the determination of dis­
putes is not astonishing.
But the confession that in some of the
oldest, richest and best ordered states of
this Union tlie enforcement of the laws
can he so little depended upon that a re­
sort to mediaeval contrivances becomes
necessary for tbe protection of property
or of any other right is humiliating in
the extreme. It is said that sometimes
political considerations stand iu the way
of the enforcement of the laws. I f that

politics he reformed in accordance with

If Senator Pasco, of Florida, should
some day rise In Ms seat when a vote is
being taken in the senate and vote on
one side or the other, the dignified sena­
tors would he tM'own into convulsions.
Pasco is a man who never votes. Since
he lias occupied a seat in the senate he
has voted fewer times than any other
member of that body. Not that he is
not on hand to vote, for he is always in
Ms seat and is one of the most punctual
and hardworking of the senators. But
he is always paired. He has such, a good
heart anil philanthropic nature that
whenever any senator desires to arrange
a pair with him he cannot bear to refuse
the request.
TMs fact the other senators know, and
utilize their knowledge accordingly. So
whenever a yea and nay vote is taken
the voice of the senator from Florida is
heard as he rises in Ms seat and sol­
emnly announces, what every one in
the senate 1 nows beforehand, that he is
paired. Not once tMs session has he cast
a vote when the yeas and nays were or­
dered, and now when he rises to an­
nounce Ms pair a gentle smile plays
upon the faces of the other senators.—

“ There lias been a story going the
rounds in the east that I think you have
not heard,” said one of the actors in a
local theater last evening, as he returned
to Ms pocket a letter bearing a New
York poBtmark.
'.
“ You Will remember that ‘Old Hoss’
William Hoey has been spending a por­
tion of his vacation in Europe, and he
lately returned, so my New York friend
writes, with $23,000 of Monte Carlo
gold, besides his other souvenirs of the
Old World. The other evening Hoey
told the story of his good fortune at
Monte Carlo to a party of friends, among
■them my correspondent. This is the
way lie tells it,” and the actor proceeded
to read from the letter be had just re­
ceived as follows:
“ W e left London, five of us, June 3.
There was Billy Mann, Jimmy Powers,
Charley Evans and Max Bledman.
“ W e went direct to Paris, where we
skated around for a week, and Mann
suggested that we go to Marge Carlo.
Charley went broke almost right away.
“ W e were playing roulette- I was
playing a lonis at a time. I lost my
change. I had been playing the tM-ee,
hut the hall somehow cTidn'f drop in the

“ The rest got broke and urged me to
go along with them, I fished around in
my clothes and found a gold piece. I
forget tlie name of it. but it’s worth
about ten dollars.
“ I laid it on the three spot on the
table, aud I’m blessed if she didn’t
up. That paid 35 for 1. and the waxy
mustached fellow shoved over, say, $350
in gold and notes.
“ ‘ You dassen’t leave it on three,’ said
Evans. ‘I dast’ I said, and J. did.
“ It came up again, and that’s God’s
truth. You can ask any of them. That
made $12,250.
“ I was for quitting, and we got out.
The next night I gave $10,000 to Max
Bleiman and ordered him not to give
me a cent till we got to Paris. I took
the balance and went back.
“ I put tlie whole business, $2,200, on
the red. Up she came. I got even
money, and that made $-1,500.
“ It was too easy, and I escaped. They
all congratulated me.
“ I gave Max $4,000, and the next
afternoon, (I couldn’t wait until dark) I
took the $300 and started again. There
was a big Russian in my seat, but he
was so struck on seeing me play the
previous night that he got up and in­
sisted on my taking Ms seat.
“ I knew he would play as I did,’ hut
that was all right. Sure enough, I put
the $500 on the red and he leaned over
me aud put $50 on the same. I won and
left it; he did the same. I won again.
“ Then I put $100 between the two
zeros. I won again.
That gave me
$1,700, or seventeen for one.
“ The old Russian won about $4,000
aud wanted to kiss me.
“ My whiskers interfered and I ob­
jected. I made two or three other bets
on the three, and altogether I cleaned
up $23,000.
“ I’m telling the truth, and yon can
prove it by Brown Brothers, with whom
I deposited $20,000 in London.

A P en sion E a s ily E a rn ed .
There is one of the pensioners of the
government who thinks he has got Ms
money easily. He lives in Berkshire,
county, Mass., and tells the story of how
ho came to apply for a pension with
great glee, not once stopping to think
that tlie honest}' of his xiroceeding might
he questioned. He is a young man, and
at the close of the war enlisted as a
drummer hoy and went to the front.
He only got as far as Baltimore when
peace was brought about, and the regi­
ment went back to Massachusetts; that
was the "whole extent of Ms service. It
was not long ago that he was approached
by a pension agent, who advised him to
apply for a pension. He scouted the
ideaj saying that he had not done anytMng to entitle Mm to be paid, and he
was in earnest about it.
The agent kept at Mm, however, and
told Mm that the money was there in
the treasury, and that he might just as
well have it as to let it lie there unused.
Finally this drummer hoy, who had
never seen any service whatever, put in
his application auu it was granted. This
is only one case which has come under
my observation, and there probably are
many of like character.—Cor. New York
Post.
A B oom erang:.
Mrs. Snarier had taken the precaution
to place several tacks on the stairs, and
when her husband arrived home in the
wee sma’ hours and tried to steal softly
to bed he felt like lacking himself for
having been so thoughtful of' her rest as
to remove Ms shoes.
“ I’m tired of your dissipation,” said
Mr. Snarier, beginning the customary
curtain lecture. ‘ ‘If I hadn’t been a fool
and refused to listen to my friends when
they told me you drank, I’d never have
become your wife. Why, I even believe
yon were drunk tbe day yon married
me.”
“ My dear,” replied Snarier, turning
his back and preparing to go to sleep, “ 1
guess I must have been.”—New York

“ Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil­

good effect upon their children.”

“ Castoria is so well ndaptcdto children that
I recommend it as superior to any prescription
known to me.”

“ Castoria is the heat remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. 1 hope tho d..y is i nt
far distant when mothers will consider th ■•iv. 1
interest o£their children, and use Castorii i
stead of the varfousquack nostrums which are

ageuts down tl’.eir throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves.”

“ Our physicians in the children's depart­

Commenting upon a well recognized
weakness iu Adelina Patti, Eugene Field
writes:
What a gracious person Mme. Ade­
lina Patti is, to be sure! How free she
is with her compliments of and atten­
tions to young singers. Yet it is worthy
of note that Mme. Patti never compli­
mented anybody who at the time or at
any subsequent time amounted to any­
thing, and that she has never made her­
self conspicuous in encouraging genuine
talent and promising merit. Mme. Pat­
ti’s graciousness-has been extended to
those only who could never by any pos­
sibility achieve distinction in the line in
which Mme. Patti herself deals.

Lord Lytton was seated one day at
dinner next to a lad y whose namo
was Bircli, and who, tradition says,
was beautiful i f not overintelligent.
She said to his excellency, “ A re
y o u acquainted w ith any o f the
Birches?" Replied his excellency,
“ Oh, yes, I knew some o f them m ost
intim ately w hile at E ton; indeed,
m ore intim ately than I cared to .”
“ Sir,” replied the lady, “ you forget
that th e Birches are relatives o f

t h e 'v ic e r o y ; “ b ut,” and h e smiled
his w onted smile, “ I h ave never felt
