Subscribe for A NEGRO NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COLORED PEOPLE OF INDIANA NATIONAL HONOR. A Review of National Advance [Following is an address delivered by the Hon. Maurice Thompson of Crawford- sville, Ind., at the University of Boston, June 6, and at Wabash College, June 9, 1900.] In setting literature over against life, we need not imply undue critical com- parison. Thought which springs out of life, as a spark from a flint, rarely coincides with literary thought. Indeed the traditions of prose and verse, while they reflect a generalization acceptable to the imagination, do not serve the highest practical turn of life. It is a function of literature to feed a traditional prejudice, and its appeal is largely to the inefficient side of human nature. Maxims, charters, constitutions and venerated declarations fixed on paper are always valuable as generalities; but they become dangerous the moment we begin to treat them as rigid boundaries of life. Indeed life is so mobile, so quick to adapt itself to new conditions, that no limit can be set to its movements. The best that literature can do is to prescrye, in some measure, the impressions of life as it flows. But what we do today can not, no matter how solemnly recorded, bind a succeeding generation. The arrogance of a living man who attempts to make a law for the ages and generations to come is quite surpassed by the conservatism of him who accepts a law as good for today because it was good for last century. Highest wisdom connects itself intimately with fullest recognition of what may be named the explosive force of sudden vital rearrangements. Conditions can not be forseen. There must be adequate room for the play of incalculable energies generated by unexpected demands upon life's resources. Hence the reliance upon ductile and flexible generalities by the framers of our most venerated and valuable documents. The more I study literature the more I see that it is not a true record of human conduct. It is not an adequate exponent of life. Written history lays down a fine track for the car of credulity; but, what really happened at Thermopylae swims far off in a mist of splendor and wonder. Neither Simonides nor the prosiest historian of them all tells us the life that crashed and thundered, blazed and went out in that romantic and picturesque pass. Some of us old soldiers have an impression of what happened there. At a little ferry on a pretty southern river I saw more men go down to death in a 10-minute fight than were killed at Thermopylae; and, even if they were but Americans, no Spartans ever took the battle tide with sturdier breasts. Their charging yell will never die away in my memory. Give literature time and there is no telling what it will make out of a meager supply of substance. William Tell is just as real as Leonidas, for all practical purposes. Life and literature are the Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde of the world. We play double. We write one thing and do another thing. It always gives me a queer feeling when I read the Declaration of Independence, with its famous clause: "All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unilienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Most excellent literature. But it no more expressed life as it then was, than the average stump speech of today expresses life as it now is. Contemplate an assembly of slaveowners, slave-buyers and slave-sellers deliberately issuing a manifessto like that, yet holding on to their slaves, while fighting for freedom, and for nearly 90 years after! A fine contrast this between life and literature. Unallenable rights, indeed; life, liberty, pursuit of happiness! Surely that sounds well from men, some of whom owned, and as long as they lived continued to own, buy and sell human beings! Rousseau wrote upon the beauties of domestic life while his neglected children lived in a foundling hospital. There is another piece of embalmed literature: "Governments," it declares, "are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." We can easily imagine Thomas Jefferson and the Lees deriving their just powers from the consent of the negroes they governed with well DONNELLY SEES DEMOCRACY'S END.

As for the women, who ever dreamed of giving them "unallienable rights," and the "consent of the governed?" Neither Puritan nor Cavalier lived in the same neighborhood with his literature. It was recorded in prose and verses that the Mexican war was unconstitutional, subversive of freedom and would lead to military despotism. Liftook the opportunity to show us the contrary. Do not misunderstand me; I am not suggesting insincerity; far from it. There is literary sincerity and there is the sincerity of life. Our great pioneer forefathers had both. They wrote one thing and strenuously believed it; They did another and opposite thing with perfect honesty of heart. Even patriotism has this two-sided nature. You know very well that patriotism on paper differs widely from the practical and hearty service we give to our country at need. Moreover, that which is patriotism today is treason tomorrow. Not long ago I was reading over again the political writings of James Russell Lowell. You remember with what scathing irony and with what effective humor he enforced his opposition to the Mexican war and the annexation of Texas. I do not know anything in literature more remarkably imbued with American genius than "The Biglow Papers." In that book we have a literary view of the Mexican war. As such it is a master-piece. But when we turn the full-famed lamp of life upon the same subject we see a very different picture. We conquered Mexico, annexed Texas and extended our dominion to the Pacific shore of California. What had been but a fighting ground for half-breeds and savages grew to be two unighty and happy states under the flag of our country. Despite Mr. Biglow's objections, notwithstanding Mr. Lowell's literature, prosperity followed war and conquest. Life betrayed the poets and prophets and left them to be laughed at! W. C. O. J.

(Great cheers.)— Convention, May 10, 1900.—New York It was recorded in prose and verse that the Mexican war was unconstitutional, subversive of freedom and would lead to military despotism. Life took the opportunity to show us the contrary. What happened next? Lowell was too great a man to die of chagrin when he saw the evolution of Texas and California. He smiled bravely with all the rest of us when those two great "unconstitutional" stars flashed out on our flag. He was as proud as any other American of two such common-wealths. There is a literary interpretation of the Declaration of Independence and of our Constitution, and there is a vital interpretation. In the time of the Mexican war, men like Thomas Corwin and James Russell Lowell insisted upon the literary interpretation. Go now and read Corwin's celebrated speech. You will find in it all the sentimental conservatism, all the hurlid prophesying of evil, all the warning walls against the near approach of freedom's certain death, all the peevish fear of abandoned landmarks and all the dark forebodings of approaching military despotism, which are just now racking the public ear on account of our recent conquest of the Spanish islands. Time passed. Mr. Lowell continued to make charming and influential literature. At the same time life was very busy. Down yonder in the south the people—the descendants of revolutionary soldiers and of signers of the Declaration of Independence, with one voice declared themselves free and independent. They made some literature in which they fiercely reiterated and accentuated the famous clause about governments "deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"; and then something happened ```markdown ``` A Journal of Opinions. published in the interest of the Race. Correspondence Solicited Special Inducements to Agents Sample Copies on Application very suddenly. Men who had always clamored for the strictest interpretation of the Declaration of Independence; men who had been willing to welcome our brave heroes of Buena Vista, Palo Alto and Monterey "with bloody hands to hospitable graves" were now willing to flood a continent with blood to keep under the old flag what those heroes had taken by outright and unconstitutional conquest! They were now just as clamorous for a liberal interpretation of our fundamental charters as they had formerly been for the strictest possible construction of them. Mr. Lowell made some more literature. It was good literature. It had in it the power of drums and trumpets, the thrill of genius. Texas had actually seeded. She had gone back to that independence which Mr. Lowell's and Mr. Corwin's literature had so eloquently, so humorously and so insistently maintained we had no right to take from her. They had insisted that she could not rightfully get into the Union. Now the shoe was on the other foot. It looked now supremely "constitutional," indeed, to "Thrash right inter brotherly kindness" the Texans and hold a state by force although we had annexed it without right! Let not a single one of my hearers for a moment think that I am criticising Lowell. He was right in this second phase of the Texan question. Governments do not always derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. There never was a greater mistake than a literal acceptance of that doctrine. The governed have no right to consent to a vicious government. Such consent can never be the basis of just governmental power. True government is not based on consent, but on righteousness. Consent may be righteous; it may be unrighteous. The southern people took down the literature of the revolutionary fathers, put on their eye glasses and read once more about how "all men are created equal," about the "unallenable rights," "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Then they pored again over the statement that government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. "We do not consent," they cried, "and you dare not govern us by force. Look at our sacred literature the unchangeable declaration of independence!" And then they read aloud for all men to hear: "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another." Somehow that was a very familiar literary preamble. It was good reading. What was to be done with it? Were those southerners freemen? Had they the unallienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Must they be governed without their consent? Here were some new Jefferson and new Lees declaring for independence in the name of freedom, just as the pioneer ones did, with the same race of slaves still delving for them in the cottonfields! Suppose that someone, a citizen of Boston or of Chicago, had then made the plea for Robert E. Lee, that he was exactly like Washington! Suppose that someone under the old flag had said that the brave southerners in battle array against that flag were just like the patriots of Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill! It makes your patriotic blood boil to think of it. But Aguinaldo, the Tagal heatheen, the Cubans, they, oh yes, they are just like Washington and the revolutionary sires! Pause for a moment and reflect. When the south seceded, they invoked the spirit of independence, freedom to choose their own form of government; they rested upon the "consent of the governed." Do you recall who they were? They were the children of Nathaniel Green, of George Walton, of Lighthorse Harry Lee, the blood kinsmen of those who wrote our charter with their blood. "Consent of the governed!" Go to Gettyburg and Appomattox and learn what that phrase means when life comes to interpret it! More than a half million noble men died in a struggle which forced upon the grandchildren of the signers of the declaration of independence a government against their will and consent. And yet I hear politicians saying that Cubans and Tagals and Porto Ricans have the God-given right to choose their own government. Did God give the Cubans rights He denied to the offspring of Richard Henry Lee and George Walton? Are all men "created equal?" It looks as if literature had settled the question in favor of the rebellious south. They had but to reaffirm the declaration of independence, point to (Contiued on page 4, column 6) Price 3 Cents Negro Labor Wanted. HONOLULU, July 1, via San Francisco, Cal.

The welcome reception occurred Tuesday evening and was a grand affair. The Fall Carnival. The carnival to be given in this city next October is to include leading features of the "Velled Prophet" parades of St. Louis, and the "Mardi Gras" festivities of New Orleans, and in addition there is to be the visit of the "Sultan" Indianapolis. His "wise men" have informed the committee of arrangements that it has been found that the Hoosier capital is not only about the center of population of the United States, but that the city is the "hub" of the earth. The identity of the Sultan, will be kept a secret until after the great street pagan. A 'dummy' will be used for the rehearsal work. A feature of the carnival week will be a large number of drawings. Prizes donated by the business men of Indianapolis will be awarded to lucky holders of tickets.

THE GENTILE WOMAN'S FAITH. 24. And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and entered into a house, and would have no man know it; but he could not be hid. 25. For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: 26. The woman was a Greek, a Syro-pho-mi-clan by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 27. But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled; for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. 28. And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord; yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. 29. And he said unto her. For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. 30. And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed. Golden Text.—Lord, help me.—Matt. 15. 25. OTHER HELPS TO STUDY. I. Great Sorrow, verses 24-27-24. From thence—From Capernaum or its vicinity. He arose—His countrymen were beginning to be hostile. Into the borders of Tyre and Sidon—From Capernaum to Tyre is about thirty-five miles. He and his disciples probably walked all the way. Entered into a house, and would have no man know it—He had come to Phoenicia, a heathen country, not as a teacher or a worker of miracles, but for rest and safety. He could not be hid—He was probably known by sight to some. 25. Young daughter—"Little daughter." Unclean spirit—A spirit at once weak in morals, physically diseased, and insane. Exactly what demonical possession was we do not know, but we are not entirely ignorant of the insanity which has its roots in sin, such, for example, as delirium tremens. 26. A Greek—Palestinians used this word to describe all Gentiles. A Syrophoenician by nation—A Phoenician of Syria by race, as distinguished from the Phoenicians of Africa, whom we call Carthagians. The devil—A demon. 27. Jesus said unto her—Read the account in Matthew for many additional facts. Let the children first be filled—Let the Jews, the chosen people of God, have the spiritual right of way. The dogs—The phrase was a common one to describe Gentiles. Dogs are not commonly kept in the East as pets or defenders. They are the scavengers of the streets, and are a symbol of outcasts of all sorts. II. Great Faith, verses 28-30—28 Yes, Lord—This woman truly and firmly believed in the power and will- liness of Jesus to help her. She understood his words better than some modern Christians. 28. For this say- ing go thy way—Clever as was the woman, it was her faith, not her cle- erness, that won her daughter's cure. 30. She found the devil gone out— God's universal mercy is taught by this incident. Whoever turns to God is received by him, and may eat of "the children's crumbs." STUDY AT HOME. I. Great Sorrow, verses 24-27. Of what race were the people of Tyre and Sidon? Why did Jesus go among them? Why did he not preach the gospel among them? What sort of religion had they? What do you understand by "unclean spirit"? Explain "Greek," "Syrophoenician," "by nation." To whom did Jesus refer by "the children?" "To whom did he refer by "the dogs?" If our Lord had never taught the universality of the love of God, what might this phrase mean? Since he taught it plainly, what does it mean? II. Great Faith, verses 28-30. Wherein does this woman show the spirit of true prayer? How did our Lord receive her reply? What statement did he make about her daughter's condition? Has Jesus intended to indorse Jewish prejudice against the Gentiles? At this time were the disciples allowed to go to the Gentiles? What grounds had the woman for faith in this case? Is it probable that she would have succeeded without the earnest and importunate prayer of faith? TRUTHS TO REMEMBER 1. Carry your troubles to God. "He careth for you." He sympathizes with human need. He loves to be trusted. Call on him; tell him all your cares and sorrows. 2. Delay is not refusal. Faith never worries. "Walt on the Lord." The answer is sure. Jesus answered nothing at first to the woman's cry. Yet she pleaded humbly, earnestly, persistently, believingly. May not we learn a lesson? 3. Great grace is God's gift of love. He delights in giving. His is royal bounty. It covers our utmost need; it surpasses our most daring faith. "Grace upon grace" is the divine order and measure. Floating Gardens. The Lord Roberts who is in Africa commanding the British army in the war against the Boers went to India when a very young man, and, like all bright people, he kept his eyes open, and while on a visit to the famous valley of Kashmir, he noticed some curious gardens in the city of Srinagar. This capital city of Kashmir has been called the Venice of the East, because of the lake, the river and canals around which the city is built. The natives construct floating gardens on this lake, which Lord Roberts says were exceedingly curious and pretty. The lake is nowhere more than ten or twelve feet deep. These gardens are made by driving stakes into the bed of the lake, long enough to project three or four feet above the water. These stakes are placed at intervals in an oblong form and are bound together by reeds and rushes twined in and out and across, until a kind of stationary raft is made, on which turf and earth and piled. In this soil seeds are sown, and the melons and other fruits raised in these fertile beds are fine and abundant—Conkey's Home Journal. Newton, Kan., special to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: On Main street, near the court house, there is a cellar with a complete foundation. The cellar appears to be the dumping place for all trash. For nearly twenty years the foundation and cellar have been just as they are now, with the exception that time and neglect have left their earmarks. Any one who asks is told: "That's as far as Ed Wooliger got with his big hotel." And as long as the cellar and foundation remain just so long will they be a monument to the nerve of a man who started with nothing, made $300,000 in two months, went broke in one week, owing nearly $100,000, and is now working on a railroad. That is the history of Ed Wooliger, Along about 1881 Wolliger was a conductor running a passenger train on the Santa Fee from Newton to Wichita. It was at this time when a crowd of shrewd real estate speculators dropped into Wichita. They quietly bought up acres and acres of land in and around the city. These were subdivided and when everything was in shape the "boom" was sprung. The speculators were backed by a large fund. They announced that they were going to build a broom factory that would employ 5,000 men. And then they proceeded to build the factory. Then they gave it out that there was a big flour mill going up, and up it went. Then followed big hotels and office buildings. The people went wild. They flocked from all parts of Kansas and on one day there were 40,000 excited men and women on the streets of Wichita buying corner lots and offering fabulous sums for "business sites." All this time the speculators were reaping the harvest of their well planned game. One of them who caught the fever was Conductor Wooldiger. He caught it early in the game, and he had it bad. He saw that the people were real estate mad, so he mortgaged his_home in this city for $1,000 and used it in Wichita. He jumped into the game with both feet. He first got an option on a corner lot upon which there was a small frame building used as a saloon. He bought it for $4,000, and sold it for $5,000, making $1,000 in less than an hour. That was his start. He bought and sold that afternoon several small pieces of real estate and his earning; that day were nearly $3,000. He took his train out that evening and went back to Newton as he only had a four-hour layover in Wichita. The first thing he did was to lift his mortgage and with his profits he began to deal in a more reckless manner. He gave enormous options and he was soon looked upon as a dangerous operator. Although he only had four hours each day in which to work, yet it was sold of him that "Ed Wooliger can do more in four hours than some men can do in four weeks." He is known to have bought and sold and rebought and resold one whole block of property in four hours, all of which netted him a large sum. But Wichita was not the only boom town. The fever struck Caldwell, Arkansas City and Newton. Wooliger had a crack at all of these, and in two months he was worth $300,000. His friends wanted him to quit, but he declared he was going to have a cool million before he quit. So he continued in his wild and reckless speculation. He decided to make one grand plunge and ordered the building of the hotel in Newton. He bought the property and gave the contract. He then proceeded to get an option on every available piece of real estate in Wichita and Newton. The speculators saw they had a good chance to drop out, and Conductor Wooliger was "in up to his neck." He virtually owned the town of Wichita and Newton, but now that he had them, what was he to do with them? He could find no buyers. The shrewd speculators who had started the boom dropped out and the boom came down much faster than it went up. Wooliger tried to stop the collapse. He caused sales of property at low figures, hoping to cause a revival, but he was up against it. He could not find "suckers" willing to pay $500 a foot for property worth $5 an acre, and in little over a week Wooliger was called upon to meet $300,000 in options. He met them all, but he could not meet somewhere between $60,000 and $100,000, and he went under. That is why the big cellar and foundation are just the same. When Wooliger went under so did his proposed monster hotel. But during all the time he was making his big real estate deals involving thousands and thousands of dollars. Wooliger never gave up his job as conductor on the road. All his speculations in Wichita was done in the four hours' layover and in Newton it was carried on before and after his run. After the collapse of the boom Wooliger found himself broke. His $200 000 was gone. So was his home and he owed anywhere from $60,000 to $160,000, but he kept at work and each pay day found his salary tied up. Imagine collecting $100,000 at $125 per month, and it kept the railroad company busy swearing "Wooliger had nothing coming." It finally got to be tiresome, and one day it was announced that Wooliger was no longer connected with the Santa Fe. He left Newton and is now a conductor on the Colorado Mid-land. Wooliger took his failure uncomplainingly, and has declared time and time again that he would be worth a million some day. His friends do not doubt it, as they say he has the nerve of a lion in everything he does. Even at gambling he stakes his all on one turn of the card. If he loses all right, and if he wins all right. At any place his limit was always "the blue sky," and any one who knows him says with confidence: "I expect to hear any day of Ed Wooliger owning a gold mine or being worth a million." "My doctor ordered a trip to Europe for me." "Did you follow his directions?" "No: he presented his bill and then took the trip to Europe himself!"—Washington Star. CALAMITY ...MURRAY One bright summer morning John Murray kissed his wife and newly born babe, and with a light heart hurried away to his work, singing merrily as the lark. The sun came over the hills and made the dewdrops on the flowers sparkle in every tree, and the skies seemed bluer and brighter than ever before, but how many days of sorrow have dawned as bright? "That's for one o' weu's to through that pass, go right thro them revenoos' camp an' get the lers warnin' afore day! It's mi'ty lish, gwine through that camp, be but some un's got ter take her chan 'less'n weu's us squar' back on the Bear Creek fellers." "I'll go." It was Calamity Murray who sped and he was the only volunteer for perilous trip. "Youu's thinks I've been telling revenoos, an' I want er chance to s yer that I hain't never gwine back them what's stuck ter me," and be any one could say a word Calam was off on the dangerous journey. A storm came up after noon, and a cyclone swept over the hills, leaving a trail of death and desolation. John Murray came home—no, not home. His home had stood in the path of the cyclone. The humble cabin was now a pile of broken timbers. Strong arms and willing hands cleared away the logs, and beneath them they found the mangled body of the young wife, dead. Like the giant oak of the forest, rent by the storm, is the grief of a strong man when all that is near and dear is taken from him in one moment, without warning. By the mangled body of his dead wife John Murray cried aloud in his anguish. Friends and neighbors came by and by, and took him away, and when his first terrible grief was over they brought his child. Clasped to its mother's breast, they had found it unhurt. Maternal love grows stronger when race to face with death, and, dying, the woman had saved the child. John Murray turned from the child with a shudder: from the little white face the eyes of his wife looked up into his. "What shall we call him, John?" asked the kind neighbors who had cared for the child, one day when it was several months old. The mangled form of the dead wife, the ruined home, rose before the father and he answered: "Call him Calumity." So Calamity Murray was named. Before the child was a year old John Murray sickened and died, of a broken heart, his neighbors said, and Calamity grew up like the wild flowers on his native hills. The rough mountaineers had tender hearts, and the child never suffered for food or clothing, but no one ever spoke a kind word to him, and early in life he realized somehow that he was an outcast. He grew to manhood, ignorant and rough as the poorest of the people around him, and with the feeling that he had no friend in the world. Why did he not go away? Because to him the world was hemmed in by the blue hills around his native valley. Calamity found work with the moonshiners, and he soon became an expert at making the "mountain dew," as the liquor was called. But somehow the moonshiners distrusted him, and his every movement was watched. Once he was intrusted with a wagon load of the illicit whiskey and sent over the mountain into Willis Valley to dispose of it. Before he had sold a single gallon the wagon was captured by revenue officers, who started to Huntsville with Calamity, after disposing of the team and the load. Somehow Calamity managed to escape from the officers, and made his way back to the still in the mountain. His story was not believed, and he was openly accused of being a spy and a traitor. Four well-armed and desperate moonshiners bound Calamity with ropes, leaving only his legs free, and started with him to Willis Valley to learn if there was any truth in his story. They found the story of the capture true, and released Calamity, after cursing him for his stupidity and carelessness. After ail this he went back and worked for these men again: because he knew no better, but the distrust of him had been increased, and his life was made harder than ever before. During the winter of 18—the revenue officers made a number of successful raids into the Sand Mountain country and destroyed a number of stills. It soon became evident to the moonshiners that there was a traitor and spy among them. For awhile they made no more liquor, but met every night at some secluded spot to talk over the situation and try to discover the informer. "Calamity Murray hadn't got no reason not ter give we our way ter their revenues," suggested one of the leaders of the gang one night, and immediately a dozen of them agreed that Calamity was the guilty man. Notwithstanding his protestations of innocence, swift and terrible punishment would have been meted out to him had not one of the eldest members of the band interceded for him and urged the moonchimers to do nothing until they secured some proof that Calamity was the traitor. No raids were made for several weeks, and the moonshiners were sufficiently recovered from their alarm to start all the stills running again. Not a suspicious stranger had been seen in the mountain for three weeks, when just after dark one night three long, loud blasts on a fox horn sounded the alarm and called the moonshiners to meet on Pine Bluff with their guns. Fires were put out, and the liquor on hand was moved away from the still houses to some more secluded spot. Half an hour before midnight twenty rough but determined looking mountaineers were gathered around a small camp fire on Pine Bluff. Ned Larkin was the center of the group, and he told them the cause of the alarm. A dozen revenue officers, all heavily armed, had left Huntsville two days before for a raid on the mountain. They had destroyed the still of Rube Burrell at the foot of the mountain and fired several shots at Rube, who came near being captured. The officers were then encamped in the pass leading over into Bear Creek Valley. Down in this valley seven stills were in full blast, and the men had received no warning. "You'sn knows it's like this," concluded Larkin. "Them fellers out thar' Near Creek can't hear the horn, an' thar ain't but one way o' getting to 'em er head o' them infernal revenoos." "How is that, Ned?" was asked by a dozen. "That's for one o' we'uns to get through that pass, go right through them revenoos' camp an' get the fellers warriin' afore day! It's mi'ty tie' lish, gwine through that camp, boys, but some un's got ter tak' her chances 'less n' we'uns go squar' back on them Bear Creek fellers." "I'll go." It was Calamity Murray who spoke, and he was the only volunteer for the perilous trip. "You'uns thinks I've been telling the revenoos, an' I want er chance to show yer that I hain't never gwine back on them what's stuck ter me," and before any one could say a word Calamity was off on the dangerous journey. The moonshiners looked at one another in silence until the old man who had once saved Calamity's life spoke up and said: "Boys. I allus knew that boy Calamity's heart were in the right place!" Calamity reached the narrow path where the officers had camped for the night, without accident or delay. The officers, wrapped in blankets, were sleeping around a small fire, and with his blowing horn in one hand and riffle in the other Calamity started to crawl through the pass, which was so narrow that he would be compelled to go within ten feet of the sleeping men. Not a twig broke as he crept slowly forward, and in ten minutes he had passed the sleeping forms around the camp fire. Fifty yards beyond the sleeping officers the pass began to widen, and there Calamity rose to his feet and started rapidly forward. One false step, a dead limb cracked loudly under the feet of the moonshiner and he started to run. Too late; a dozen rifle shots rang out on the still night air, and Calamity sank to the ground with a dozen bullets in his body. The officers hurriedly deployed into an irregular line and advanced cautiously toward the prostrate form, fearing that others were waiting in ambush. Just as the officers gathered around the fallen man he struggled to his feet. A dozen guns' were raised, but were quickly lowered, for the officers saw that the man was wounded unto death. Calamity caught at a tree to steady himself, and before the officers divined his intention he placed his horn to his lips, and, with one terrible, dying struggle, blew three long, loud blasts. The horn dropped from the blood-stained hand and Calamity sank to the ground dead. Over hills and ravines, piercing the still night air, went the sound of the three shrill blasts of Calamity Murray's horn. The moonshiners around the camp fire on Pine Bluff heard it, and knew that their friends had been warned in time. Down in Bear Creek Valley the moonshiners heard the warning, and they prepared to meet the coming foe. Next day a strong band of armed moonshiners entered the pass. The officers had returned in hot haste to Huntsville, knowing full well the meaning of three blasts of the moonshiner's horn. Close by the roadside in the narrow mountain pass there is an unkept grave. On a rough headstone a blowing horn has been rudely carved, and beneath it is the name of "Calamity Murray." THE FIRST ENGINE Gave Rise to Some Funny Ideas Among Far-Away Savages. The children of the desert were filled with awe when first the silence of the primeval solitude was broken by the puffing of the steam engine. Down at the other end of the Cape to Cairo line the simple Matabele, when first confronted by a locomotive, were certain that the strange machine was worked by the labor of an indefinite number of oxen, which they assumed were shut up inside. Hence, when the engine stopped they gathered in curious crowds waiting to see the door open and the oxen come out, nor could they for many days be persuaded that the power of the locomotive could come from other than the strength of the ox. The Arabs of the Soudan, more imaginative than the Matabele, saw in the fire horses of the railway one of the genii of the "Arabian Nights," harnessed by the magic of the infidel to the long train of cars. The steam engine was to them a living, sentient being. Of which belief there is a curious evidence in the fact that on one occasion a sheikh made an impassioned remonstrance against the cruelty of making so small an engine draw so large a train. Her Electric Spark "Millie" The young lineman twirled his hat in his hands in an agitated manner and spoke in a voice that seemed to have a tendency to get away from him. "Millie, the fact is, I—there's something I've been wanting to tell you a long time, but I can't seem to fetch it. When you look at me like that, you know, it breaks me all up I've been coming here so long that I oughtn't to be afraid. I reckon, but—but you know how it is—or maybe you don't, either. I thought I could say it all right when I came in, but you're a little the livest wire I ever—I didn't think it would be so hard when I—" Here he came to a dead stop. "Millie!" he exclaimed in desperation. "I'm short circited! I've burned out a fuse." "Jerry, are you trying to ask me to marry you?" "Y-Yes." "Why, of course I will, you feelish boy!" And love's current flowed unobstructedly again, lighting up with its pure radiance the rose-embowered pathway that—etc., etc.—Chicago Tribune. Vindicated at Last "My dear," he said.

There had been some: losses among the troops guarding the legations, but the diplomatists were safe. The dispatch also says the loyal troops under Prince Ching, who {s engaged in a counter revolution, had attaeked the rebels in Pekin. ‘The Governor of Shan-Tung, aecording to the same authority, is reported to have de- clined to obey Prince Tuan's orders to selze Nan King.

Marion special: Oil producers have made a number of rich strikes in the oil field of this county and adjacent during the month of June. A number of wells have been developed that produced from 100 to 1,000 barrels per day in “wildcat” territory. A number of good producing wells have been drilled In around Marion. The oll field is slowly but gradually com- ing into the city limits of Marién, and the city will soon be surrounded with a wall of derricks. The development figures of June show that the oil men tave been busy. Tn May, 28 wells were drilled in the Indiana fleld against 260 in June. The May wells had a production of 3,900 bar- rels; those of June 4,50) barrels. The Ma- rion district had in June thirty-five com- pleted wells, with only one dry hole. Thirty-stx wells are being drilled and nineteen derricks are being built. The month of July begins with 22 wells drill- ing and rigs up for 177 more in the field. ‘The producers realize they are working in the face of a weak market, but while the price of indiana crude is above % cents the dril!s will be kept-moving. ~ Suvenile Thieves at Muncle. Muncie special: The Muncle police are having serious trouble with boy thieves, who infest this elty. by the score and ar- rests are being made daily among the ju- veniles. Willie Brown, aged 10, was ar- rested Monday for robbing a 10-cent store Sunday. He entered by a broken win- dow and took a lot of fire works and the contents of the money drawer. Howard Wolfe and Willie Jones, each 9 years old, stole a pair of Belgian hares and killed them for common rabbits. ‘The pair were worth $25, A Cigar-Box Fiddte, Delphi special:- Col. Ell Walker, post- master and storekeeper at Lexington, this ‘county, is a fiddler of renown, hav- ing won many prizes in old fiddlers’ con- tests. Mr. Walker's fiddle Is one of his own making, and it is a queer-looking concern, but a marvel in the purity of its tone and its simplicity. The body is fash- foned out of a cigarbox, but the neck, strings and bridge are of the regulation type. The box may be removed at will, and the old fidgiler can coax entrancing tones out of the instrument, whether the box is-on or off. Fight in a Runaway. Kokomo special: In a fight Tuesday hight in a buggy attached to a runaway horse, Samuel Spitler was alarmingly cut about the face and breast, and James Cunningham, who used the knife, had his leg broken and was otherwise Injured by being thrown from the vehicle, ‘The men had been close friends, and they started out for a drive. A quarrel arose over a woman, and Cunningham at- tacked his companjon with a knife. Spit- ler dropped the lines to defend himself, and the horse ran away, tearing through one of the principal streets of the city. ‘The men remained in the buggy, fighting like demons. Finally the vehicle struck ‘a trolley pole, and the horse was freed, the men falling to the ground and con- tinuing the fight until both were ex- hausted, ‘They were removed to their homes fn an ambulance. Spitler’s Injur- fes are severe and may result fatally. It he recovers he will be disfigured for: life. Besides a broken leg, Cunningham was hurt internally, but he will’ probably. re- cover. Buicide of Judge Lone, Terre Haute special: Ex-Judge Thomas B. Long committed suicide Monday even- ing, by shooting himself. His housekeep- er was in an. adjoining room, but when she reached his side he was dead. The act {s unaccountable, from present infor- mation. Judge Long was born Oct. 25, 184, He was recognized by Masons as the best authority on Masonry in the State. He became a Mason in 187 and served as Grand Master of the State In 1889-09; was Grand High Priest, Indiana Royal Arch Masons, 1879-80; illustrious Grand Master of Indiana, 180-95. He had taken all the York degrees up to and m- cluding the thirty-third. He was unmar- ried and there is no known kin. He was judge of the criminal court In the latter eighties. A Terre Haute special of Tues- day states that it has developed that Judge Long committed suicide on account of financial difculties. He was without a dollar, was in debt and expected to be turned out of his office, which he had oc- cupled for thirty years by the constable on Tuesday. The disgrace was more than he could bear. Pe ee Anderson special: ‘The Standard Ot! Company has notified the workmen to stop drilling In the Indtana olf fields. The order caused a panic among the independ- ent producers, as they have lavested heavily in wildcat terirtory and have de- veloped a large number of wells that ylelded from 200 to 1,000 barrels per day. When the crude was worth $1 a Darrel they could work at a profit, but when the Standard forced ft down to 9 cents they were compelled to operate at a los or close down. Pleaded Gullty to Forgery. Shelbyville special: Carl C. Wilson, son of ex-Treasurer J. Marsh Wilson, Mon- day pleaded guilty to an Indictment charging the forgery of the name of Al- fred H. Haymond to a note for $125, which Wilson had sold to Commissioner John T. Roe. Judge Morris sentenced him under the Indeterminate law for two to four- teen years, When young Wilson was ar- rested he was making preparations to leave the clty. For several days after his arrest the father, who was connned tm the sheriff's residence, refused to see him. Wilson had sold a number of other notes and it is not known how many of them are forgeries. They amount to more than $1,000, li ad fea aa ak Bloomington special: A band of wite- cappers, estimated at about a dozen men, entered the home of Pleasant Meadows, northeast of town, Monday night, by knocking down the doors, and took Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Dixon from thefr bed. They were led to a gate about a hundred yards from the house, and both were whipped. Mrs. Dixon was in her night clothes and received several severe blows. Her husband was whipped more brutally, a buggy whip with a wire cracker being sed. After the whipping both were told to return to Lawrence county, from whence they came. ‘As a sequel Dixon and his wife came to town and filed an affidavit against five well known farmers, as follows: Tillman H. Cox, Richard Ratcliff, Sherman Cit- wood, Aired Baugh and Henry Thomp- son. ‘The wonian who was whitecapped was in jail a few weeks ago on the charge of being a dissolute character, and it is sald the neighbors took this means of ridding themselvag’ of her pres- ence in the community. = s—| THIRST FOR BLOOD DETAILS OF THE HORRIBLE cosmo: London, July 7,—2:40 a. m,—The Russian government announces that it will give Japan a free hand to apply military force in China, Details of further’ horrors in Pekin ara gathered by correspondents at Shanghal from Chinese sources, especially of the slaughter in the Chinese and Tartar city of thousands of native Christians, so that the capital reeks with carnage. The ruth- less thirst for blood is spreading in all the northern provinces, and wherever there are native Christians the scenes en= acted in the capital are reproduced in miniature. From these provinces noth- ing further comes regarding the legation forces, except a repetition of the report that they are all dead. The correspond- ents aver that if the Chinese officials th Shanghai wished to throw light on the Teal state of affairs in the capital they could do go, and, therefore, the worst re- ports are accepted as true. Prince Tuan's coup d'etat is described by the Shanghai correspondent of the Daily ‘Mail as a ‘sequence to the grand council of ministers, at which Yung Lu advocated the suppression of the Boxers Promptly. The dowager Empress gave her whole support to Yung Lu and d scene of disorder ensued. Prince Tian Passionately intervened, backed by Kang Yih. They rushed from the couneil, and their partisans raised the cry, “Down with the foreigners!” ‘The effect was ‘electrical. The eunuchs, palace officials of all sorts and most of the populace took up the cause of Prince Tuan, and his agents Immediately put the Emperor and dowager Empress under restraint. The Che Foo correspondent of the Ex- Press, ‘telegraphing on Thursday, says: “There is no longer any. doubt that dis- aster has overtaken the Russian force of 3,000 men that left Tien-Tsin for Pekin on June 11. ‘The Russians had a full field gun complement and carried their own transports. As nothing has been heard from them for twenty-four days it is as- sumed they have been overwhelmed, ‘Trustworthy news is received to the ef- fect that all the country to the northwest of Pekin is covered with the corpses of men and horses of the western garrisons. Fighting of a desperate character took place In the immediate neighborhood of ‘Tien-Tsin on. June 99.. Taku -dispatches say an attack in great foree is expected at any moment, The Chinese commanders. are awaiting the arrival of more guns and reinforcements before making an effort to retake the city.” ONE KILLED, TWO WouNDED.” Fight Between United States OMleors and ‘Two Kentuckians, ‘Mount Sterling, Ky., special: Sunday word came over the telephone from Ma- riba, Menefee county, that Deputy United States Marshal Howard Wilson had been killed and Tip Day and James Bush, of this county, mortally wounded, and could live only a few hours. Wilson, accompa- ned by William Stamper, of this place, had gone in search of Day, who was wanted in Virginia on several charges, in- cluding alleged violation of the internal revenue laws. Not far from Mariba, in Menefee county, about thirty-five miles from here, they came up with Day, James Bush and two women. As soon as the officers made known their business shoot- ing began. Wilson shot Bush through the body, and Day shot Wilson through the heart, killing him instantly.

The threatened attempt to lynch "Cap" Greathouse, the Negro who shot the town marshall of Grandview, had it been successful, would have been a case wherein the punishment was greater than the crime. Lawless white men are no better than lawless colored men, and the great State of Indiana has laws to punish both class of criminals. CERTAIN DEFEAT, It is a fact that some people are often beaten without their slightest perception. Then, again, there are some who realize their defeat but persist in the face of the enevitable. And this certainly holds good in Bryan's candidacy for the presidential election. He was beaten before his nomination as far as the people are concerned, yet he continues to push himself before the public—very much to their dis favor—seemingly hoping to gain headway by disguising facts and playing upon the supposedly political ignorance of the masses. But while it is true that the people are too confronted with many perplexing—a great many of which are utterly useless—issues that they do not understand and haven't time to study them, they always know when to act and how to use good judgment; and that to act prudently is to act wisely. The result of the last campaign ought to be a life time lesson to the advocates of Bryan and free siver. The Democrats are at the place where they are all but satisfied with their position. But they are "up against the real thing" and simply have to take their medicine; It if a certatain fact, and that can't be denied, that the people are not going to try experiments that are so vast as one of this kind would be, and especially when it involves the interest of the whole nation, and, even, has no basis, whatever. So the nearer the campaign draws to hand the farther it puts Bryanism from the minds of the people, McKinley, prosperity and good government always, That Negro party has died a-bornin' Its demise was but a fitting end to a misfit conception. The colored citizens of Indianapolis are against the use of natural gas by meter. The proposition of the two companies, is nothing less than absurdity. The comfort and convenience of the masses, must be considered, and especially so in this case. The success of the attempt creates a luxury out of a public commodity. The smoke of prosperity is so dense that Bryan will never be able to even see the White House. It is entirely evident from Croker's course at Kansas City that he has not the slightest hope of carrying New York state this fall. All he wants is to carry New York city and remain at the top of the machine there. Front porches are popular in other cities besides Canton and Lincoln in these mid-summer days. No, certainly not. The Republican party is not as strong as it was in 1896. It is a good deal stronger. Witness Oregon. Col. Bryan is now working hard at his new profession of farming. He puts in eight hours a day having himself photographed in a jumper and overalls with a background of fences and fields. This course will commend him to the horny handed sons of toil. That Bryan annex, known as the Prohibition party, has gone through its usual motions of putting a ticket in the field and denouncing the President for not adopting a temperence law and thus making everybody good and holy. This fall the ticket will meet the usual fate. A surplus of over $81,000,000 for the last fiscal year is a pretty good showing for Republican party government considering that heavy war expenses, as well as the ordinary expenditures of the Government were paid out of the receipts. When we add the nation al debt has been decreased to some $40,000,000 in the same time, the showing becomes phenomenal. I. D. Blair, Attorney. I. D.

All can be thus divinely gifted, if they root out a grudge and not harbor ill-feeling toward their kin and fellowmen. Those are unhappy beings whs carefully nurse, day and night a grudge that it should not decay, but remain vigorous and flame up within their nature, like the ever burning and never consuming bush. Thoughtful reader, if you harbor grudges, get rid of them as you would of the gout or rheumatism that make you lame and embitter your existence. Hear ye! Silence is a valuable talent to listen to all that is said, to reflect in silence thereon, and then slowly but surely come to concoct conclusions Such conclusions will turn an enemy into a glorious victory. Those who brag and make a great deal of fuss usually fall in their efforts. It is the silent man who develops as a great leader and successful commander. Listen! Money is powerful for it is the language that is understood in every country on the face of the globe; but politeness and pure affection are even more powerful, for they will secure the good will of men that money cannot command. It is always well to be polite and affectionate to all, for there are men and women who appear insignificant, yet they are angels unaware. ALLEN* CHAPEL A. M. E.

The series of gospel meetings will begin in the grove in a short time; further notice. The pastor will preach both Sunday morning and evening; come and worship with us. the Dred Scott decision, refuse their consent to be governed and set up a government of their own. But life brushed literature aside and made gun-wadding out of it. "Consent of the governed? You consent right suddenly or take a thrashing?" That was what life said, and we southerners took the thrashing like soldiers and then consented like men. Never was there a written document that could stay the hand of fate or hinder the march of destiny. The narrow interpretation of the clause: "government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed" was forever repudiated by the American people when the south was forced to accept a government against its express will. It was right to whip the south and make its people consent to the best government in the world. It was right to whip Mexico and change Texas and California without their consent from anarchy to good government, from semi-savagery to highest civilization. The result repudiates literature and exalts triumph life. It was right to crush the precious barrier to true progress, a barrier labeled "The consent of the governed," behind which all opposition to the wholesome and invigorating influence of the true American spirit had desperately intrenched itself in the south. It was right to annex Texas by force. We did it and God prospected us for it. It was right to force Texas against her will and without her consent back into the Union. God prospected us for doing it. Life rose in its glory over the limitations of literature and flowed in the channel of destiny. Thomas Jefferson was a much broader and wiser man than some of his selfstyled followers of today would have us believe. Jefferson was a phoeneer; he felt the limitations of his day and his environment; he did not set himself up as a god, or as an infallible dictator for all succeeding generations; he built no Procrustein bed. Like other great and good men he saw what his own generation needed, and to that need he directed his genius. In one of his letters we find the simplest statement of what he thought about the authority of literature. He knew well that times change and we change with them. He wrote: "A generation may bind itself as long as its majority is in place. * * * Nothing then is unchangeable but the inherent and inalienable rights of men." He was groping after a mighty truth which he did not quite reach. We reached it 50 or 60 years later when we said: "Literature hang! Slavery must and shall cease in all the world!" That was life asserting its superiority to "institutions" and wise saws. The Monroe doctrine is directly opposed to a strict interpretation of the Declaration of Independence and the constitution, yet it is the wisdom of patriotism. It speaks for our very life our power, our civilization, our domination. We purpose to be master of the situation. The Monroe doctrine simply voices that purpose. Tremenous crimes have been committed in the name of liberty, freedom independence. But while these horrs were prevailing on the surface of life, the irresistable current beneath flowed straight on to some "divine event" Knighthood, the Crusades the French Revolution, the Reformation—what bloody names! Fire and sword, rapine, desolation, starvation but onward, upward with irresistible momentum swept the tide of civilization.

The flint arrow-point, the bronze axe, the steel sword, the lance, the gun, the erash of battle. These have cleared the way. No gun-shy genera- tion of men has ever added a single good thing to life. No charter or con- stitution can save freedom for a race of cowards. It is the function of the unscrupulous politician to inyent a factitious “issue” for a partisan argument and then roll up his eyes and appeal to the Constitu- tion. He lays a snare for the popular mind and springs it in the nanie of freedom and independence. My friends, the average congressman has never drawn a single breath of freedom or independence since he heard the politle eal bee begin to buzz in his bonnet. | He is an abject slave to his party. It says “go” and he goes, “come” and he comes, | Freedom is not a condition; It is a quality, Independence is not a right; it is the result of a quality. You base freedom on a charter and its founda- tion is but paper; I can destroy it with a match. You may resolve that “Cuba is and of right ought to be free and in- dependent”; but even after a Spanish fleet has been riddied and sunk, your resolution is absolutely powerless to make its literature good. ‘The Cubans were not free and independent; they are not now. ‘Thié “quality of freedom Is unmistak- able, and independence is but’ the splendor of that quality. Independence does not signify isolation. Massachu- setts’Is independent, Indiana fs inde- pendent. Freedom does not signify a ‘eparate nationality. All of the south- ern states from ‘Texas to Maryland are free obut they did not. realize their dream,.ot-, a Southern, Confederacy. Literature was on thelr side; but the momentum of life crushed and bore away thelr flimsy fortress of mere ink- stained paper. Spurious freedom is that ‘which oils the tongues of men who long for office and the opportunity for spoils. Pseudo indépendénce is that which is preached to a Weak’ard unsophisticated people by’sdiué of their meh who purpose to hold the offices and govern them for gain. Do you believe that a charter, a declaration or a constitution ever made a people free or independent? Free- dom indulges in charters; but it is character that generates freedom. The Anglo-Saxon character seems to be the only one competent to propagate Iib- erty ‘by force. From the first it has done this. The history of England and America is but a record of conquest followed by liberty. There is a literary pa- triotism and chere is a vital patriot- ism. The Anglo-Saxon character has never absorbed an appreciable element of that cosmopolitanism which dilutes and dissipates patriotic vitality. ‘The Anglo-Saxon has been a Roman with this difference: The Roman conquered and enslaved; the Anglo-Saxon has conquered and freed. Vital patriotism has been-planted in English colonies around the whole circle of the world. ‘The tight Little island has never weak- ened its blood with the whey of cos- mopolitanism, We have a fine object lesson in the action of the British colonies regarding the war in South Africa, From India around by way of Australia to Canada ‘Wwe see a compact national spirit send- ing out its invincible embodiment, the lion-hearted men who conquer and then make British patriots of the con- quered. ‘These men have the inherent quality of freedom and the vital in- stinct of independence. ‘They will con- quer the Boers and then make true patriots of them. * Years from now, many or few, when Great Britain shall again strike for a broadening of Anglo-Saxon dominion, the men of the ‘Transvaal will shout and charge under the lion’s flag, as the men of India and Australia and | Canada do now. ‘This magnetism of life is all-powerful in the material and political operations of the world. It draws to its ald all the affinities.

Washington, D. ¢, Lafayette Sunday Times: At the Second Presbyterian Church, Indianapolis, Judge D. P. Baldwin, of Logansport, who recently returned from an extensive Oriental trip, delivered a lecture on "The Religions of Asia." He spoke as follows: "Fifty years ago it was an almost universal habit to call all other religions than ours 'false' and to designate all other than Christian nations as 'heathens.' To-day another spirit prevails. An ever increasing number of Christians For the good they comprehend not; That all feeble hands and helpless Groping blindly in the darkness Touch God's right hand in that dark- ness And are lifted up and strengthened. "I have never been able to under- stand why a devout Hindoo or Mohammedan may not be accepted of God and entitled to his reward hereafter as well as a less equally devout Christian. I can not comprehend why an all-loving God should make provision for one end of His globe and leave his more numerous children on the other end to perish in unbelief, as is the theological term. If I thought this I should logically be compelled to accept as its inevitable sequiter that all religions are man-made. In this spirit I invite your attention this evening to a brief survey of the old Asiatic religions and a short and necessarily very imperfect study of comparative religions, which consists in studying the elements common to them all; in tabulating their strengths and their weaknesses and in eliminating their excrescences; in tracing the influence of climate, race soil, environment and heredity, and finally arriving at the essential truths underlying them all. In my judgment the parliament of religions at Chicago, in 1893, was one of the best missionary movements that ever took place in the United States of America. "All the great existing religions of the world came from Asia. In India a few weeks ago I asked myself the question: Suppose that Peter and Paul had gone south instead of following the great currents of trade north to Europe; suppose they had planted the gospel in the torrid instead of the temperate zone—what would have been its outcome? Suppose Christ and His gospel had been easternized by Chinese, Indian and Japanese influences instead of westernized? Would we not then have had instead of one God in three forms—Father, Son and Holy Ghost—three thousand gods? Would we not, instead of, as in the Catholic Church, with its unlimited number of canonized saints and martyrs, its Virgin Mary dominating them all and all worshiped—have had as in India, three hundred thousand Christian gods worshiped with the sacrifice of kids and lambs, and with offerings of rice and melted butter? The five leading religions of Asia are the Buddhist, the Hindoo, the Mohammedan, the strange amalgam called the Chinese, and the Christian. What is the Buddhist religion? Briefly, Buddhism is the salvation of a soul and its deliverance from sin by its own unremitting practice of virtue. Next to Jesus Christ, it seems to me that Buddhia is the greatest religious genius the world has ever produced. He was born 600 years before Christ and his followers now number 500,000-000. He was a far greater genius than Mohammed, who was a fighter and whose creed, as a code of morals, was vastly inferior to that of the mild light of Asia. Mohammed converted by the sword when necessary. Buddhia by messages of peace and friendship. Wherever Mohammed ruled the native became cruel, ignorant and sensual; exactly the reverse with Buddhia; his religion has invariably tamed savagery and been followed by sweeter manners—purer laws. "Buddha, in his charming gospel, teaches salvation by following the eight cardinal virtues and by the great renunciation," which is the abandonment of self and selfishness. Buddhahood claims to raise a man to the same plane with deity. This religion has been called atheistic and its supreme end—annihilation. I do not so understand it. Nivrana, which a Buddhist priest in Japan explained to me, means becoming one with God; very closely corresponding to the Methodist doctrine of sanctification, or perfect love. To become one with God, or absorbed in God, is in no sense annihilation, even though in that act personality lost. "A religion is tested by the kind of people and morals that it makes. In all studies of other religions we invariably apply this test, which is after all only the Scripture rule. 'By their fruits ye shall know them.' And here the influence of race and climate receive a remarkable illustration. In temperate Japan and among high-class Mongolians Buddhism is seen at its best, whereas, in tropical Ceylon, among the treacherous Malays, it is at its worst. Exactly so in the tropical Philippines, where they are all Catholics, there is as much difference between them and the north as between the Catholics of Indiana and those of Mexico. There are no races in Asia that can compare with the northern Buddhists—say in Tibet, North China and Japan—in point of morals, neatness, kindness and intelligence. "But the other side must be told fairly. Buddhism is a badly deteriorated religion. Although there is no warrant whatever for it in his gospel, in the progress of 2,500 years image worship of the grossest kind has fastened itself upon this delightful system. All the Asiatics believe that the malign forces of nature, such as whirlwinds, as well as the vicious dispositions of mankind, are the products of evil spirits and a most important part of their religion is to placate them. All the greater Buddhist temples are surrounded with images of these malign deities, and the principal part of their worship is prayer and offering to them. But once these outward images are passed and the real Buddhist temple within entered we find a most beautiful and restful religious atmosphere. Unfortunately, this interior and esoteric Buddhism is for the few and not the multitude. Buddhism is overlaid with innumerable and absurd dogmas and split into numerous and very hostile sects. In this respect we find the same thing in Christianity. The simple gospel of Buddha is lost in the enormous additions made by his disciples—many of them the acutest men the world has ever known. Before me is Buddha's gospel. It can be easily read in half a day, yet in Ceylon I was shown a Buddhist Bible in 400 huge volumes. "Buddha reverenced womanhood, and some of his most saintly followers were, as with Christ, women. But in the deteriorated Buddhism of to-day womanhood has become degraded—so much that even in lovely Japan, where she is at her best, a female has few rights the male is bound to respect. Lest you should say I am overdrawing the picture, like the French, let me add that the Japanese, like the French, are volatile and untruthful and unchaste. The social evil is worse in Japan than in any civilized nation. The Bcdhist priests are the scoff of the people, because of their ignorance and bad morals. And yet there are powerful reformers and sects among them. Almost a century ago there arose, and at almost the same time, a leader and followers closely corresponding to John Wesley and the Methodists. They discarded all idols and teach and practice Buddhism just as its founder delivered it. A few years ago, in the capital of Kyoto, their chief temple was burned, and within a few months $10,000,000 was raised, and with it the most beautiful shrine in all Japan was erected. In it there are no images whatever except of Buddha himself. Its religious atmosphere is as pure and high as that of St. Peter's in Rome or any Christian church. In the portico of this temple are huge ropes of hair made of the hair of women too poor to donate money. Here are as genuine praise and worship as in any place in the whole world. "Buddhism is by no means a decaying religion. By contact with Christianity its leaders have been stimulated into adopting Christian methods. In Ceylon I found Buddhist schools for girls and all sorts of charities and associations corresponding to our Christian Endowers and charities. "I am not a Buddhist and have no thought of establishing a Buddhist mission, but I want to tell the facts as I saw them in Asia. The people of Japan say to Christians, 'Ours is the better religion.' Some years ago among other great governmental reforms was the question of a national religion and what it should be—Buddhist, Shinto or Christian. A committee was appointed to examine and report, and Shintoism was chosen of the three, which is very much the same religion as that of Buddha. Christianity was rejected because of its inferior morals—drunkenness, licentiousness, the public dishonesty and greed of the great Christian nations, all of whom have in their dealings with the Asiatics the worst possible records. This is a most humiliating statement to make, but, unfortunately, it is true. To the objection, 'These disgraces have arisen against the protests of Christians and Christ,' the Buddhist replies, 'but you Christians hold our Asiatic religions responsible for our national vices, why not apply the same rule to your salon?' With what measure you mete it shall be measured to you again.' "OF that strange amalgam, called by courtesy 'religion,' which suffices for 400,000,000 Chinese. I shall say but little, for the subject is too complicated for less than an hour's discussion. In my judgment, there is less religion per capita in China than any of the great races of Asia. Their temples are fithy, their spirit irreverent, their ceremonies—I can not call them worship—grotesque and puerile to the last degree. If there is any nation I should call heathen it is the unspeakable Chinese. A common expression of their when offering prayer and gifts to the gods is 'to please the old men up there.' The grossest materialism, selfishness and cruelty everywhere prevail. The truth is I can not do justice to the Chinamen—they are so repulsive. And yet the missionaries say that once a Chinaman is converted to Christianity, you know what you have got. He is always to be relied upon, whereas you can no more depend upon a Japanese or an Indian convert than upon a weather cock. There is a solid basis of real character concealed beneath the repulsive exterior of the Chinese which even in Japan gives them control of banks, counting rooms and other responsible positions which they can not trust their own people to fill. And this gives rise to the inquiry. If a religion is to be tested by the people who profess it, there must be great merit in Confucianism and the other systems of China. These so-called religions are, after all, only elevated ethical codes, with the worship of the emperor and of ancestors and their joss houses only as incidents. Then, again, among a people where the struggle for existence is so intense in China, the great masses have no time for religion any more than they have in the huge submerged and congested populations of great cities like London, New York and Chicago. "The Mohammedan faith is easily the first of the ethnic religious of Asia. We seldom stop to consider the enormous advance a nation makes when it rises from Gods many, such as the Hindoos have, to the one God of Mohammed. This advance is only equaled by another theistic idea of which Mohammed had but small con- ception—divine fatherhood and a God of love. "Mohammedanism arose A. D. 600 as a protest against a deteriorated Christianity. It swept away the idolatrous and corrupt Christians of the Nile and the Levant like chaff before a whirlwind, and for a thousand years held the sepulchre of Christ against the combined efforts of all Christendom. And that possession still continues. One of the saddest sights in Jerusalem to-day is a file of Mohammedan policemen in the holy sepulchre keeping the peace between rival Christian sects. As everybody knows, but does not stop to consider, Mohammedans have in their mosques neither images, pictures nor music. They are houses of prayer, pure and simple. Except the voice of the preacher nothing but supplication can be heard in them. The trouble with Mohammedanism is one of government, rather than religion. Their code of morals is good, but with corrupt rulers, what else can we expect than laxity in morals among the oppressed? "Whoever attended the great Parliament of Religions at Chicago, recall that easily the most elegant speech of that great occasion was delivered by Swami Vivikanada, in defense and advocacy of the Hindoo religion. This speech has been violently attacked in India, but I have always noticed that the violence of an attack upon a public speaker is a fairly accurate gauge of the amount of truth that he has told. There are two kinds of Hindooism—that for the educated classes, the choice and select few, and that for the ignorant and depraved masses—the vast majority. Seen from the standpoint of the learned pundits and the educated few, Hindooism is a lovely system of pantheism very much akin to that of Spinoza. No more acute minds can be found anywhere in the world than among the Indians. Centuries before the days of Hume and Kant and the great European thinkers, Hindoo speculation had gone all over the same ground and reached and in many cases abandoned the same conclusion for higher ones. According to the great Hindoo philosophers, the great powers of Nature are manifestations of God and are to be worshiped as emanations from Him. Life is a struggle against sin and when death comes the undeveloped soul is sent into the world again and again until its imperfections are disciplined away. At last he becomes a part of the universal spirit which they call Brahm. "But alas! for the vast struggling masses, 288,000,000 of them. They worship images—at first as symbols, but soon as realities. In the whole world there can be found no sadder sight than the Hindoo and his idols—his outcast widows—adult and child—responsible for the death of their husbands and with the Upas of caste blasting all progress and dwarfing into perpetual slavery and superstition a mild and amiable people. "And yet here, also, as in Japan, contact with Christianity has produced reforms and reformers within the ranks of Hindooism. The late Mr. Sen, the founder of the Bramham Somaj and the Arya Somaj—the Pundita Ramabai and her efforts for Hindoo child-widows are illustrations of what seems to me the true road out of heathenism into the broader light of Christianity. Then the missionaries are, through their schools and hospitals, planting the seeds of Christian truth in dusky bosoms which will certainly bear fruit in the not far distant future." Readiness of Wit One of the best qualities for a boy or a girl to cultivate is readiness of wit. To the lad who is thinking of going into some business pursuit quickness to see and meet the requirements of an opportunity is of invaluable importance. We find in the Gazette Anecdotique a case very much to the point, and most amusing withal. It seems that in the year 1707, when Philip V was on his way to Madrid to take possession of his kingdom of Spain, the inhabitants of Mont de Marsan came out to meet him at his approach. The two processions having met about a league from the town, the mayor advanced towards the litter in which the King sat, and addressed him as follows: "Sire, long speeches are obnoxious and wearisome; I should prefer to sing you something." Leave was given, and he sang forthwith with a short ode to the King, which so greatly pleased his Majesty that he called out, "Da capo!" (encore). The mayor gave his song a second time. The King thanked the singer and presented him with ten louis d'or. This amount seemed hardly sufficient to the chief magistrate of Mont de Marsan, and he therefore promptly held out his empty hand to the King, and in admirable imitation of the King's voice, himself called out, "Da capo!" The King laughed heartily and complied, and the mayor departed twice as well off as he would have been had he been less quick-witted. Coloring Canary-Birds A popular color for canary birds in English at the present is a reddish yellow, or deep orange. This color, it is said, can be produced artificially by dieting the birds on a number of different substances, the chief of which is cayenne pepper mixed with molasses. Dealers are able to produce particularly desirable shades by varying the quantity of pepper and by adding occasionally a little turmeric or madder. Each dealer has his own formula, which he keeps secret. The plumage of the birds thus treated is apt to fade, and they are kept as much as possible out of the light. The Price of Success The final election returns had been received. The Hon. Joshua Hayrick wore an expression of great sadness. "What's the matter?" they said to him. "Your election is conceded." "That's true, boys," he replied, gloomily, "and nothing under heaven will keep the village band from screaming me."—Philadelphia Press. Dr. Talmage in his discourse this week argues that religion is an active principle, which works constantly for the welfare of body and mind and soul. His text is Luke xiv, 34, "Salt is good." The Bible is a dictionary of the finest similes. It employs, among living creatures, storks and eagles and doves and unicorns and sheep and cattle; among trees, sycamores and terebriths and pomegranates and almonds and apples; among jewels, pearls and amethysts and jacinths and chrysoprases. Christ uses no stale illustrations. The lilies that he plucks in his discourse are dewy fresh; the ravens in his discourses are not stuffed specimens of birds, but warm with life from wing tip to wing tip; the fish he points to are not dull about the gills, as though long captured, but a squirrel in the wet net just brought up on the beach of Tiberias. In my text, which is the peroration of one of his sermons, he picks up a crystal and holds it before his congregation as an illustration of divine grace in the heart when he says what we all know by experiment, "Salt is good." It would take all time, with an infringement upon eternity, for an angel of God to tell one-half the glories in a salt crystal. So with the grace of God; it is perfectly beautiful. I have seen it smooth on wrinkles of care from the brow; I have seen it make an aged man feel almost young again; I have seen it lift the stooping shoulders and put sparkle into the dull eye. Solomon discovered its therapeutic qualities when he said, "It is marrow to the bones." It helps to digest the food and to purify the blood and to calm the pulses and quiet the spleen, and instead of Tyndall's prayer test of 20 years ago, putting a man in a philosophical hospital to be experimented upon by prayer, it keeps him so well that he does not need to be prayed for as an invalid. I am speaking now of a healthy religion—of not that morbid religion that sits for three hours on a gravestone reading Harvey's "Meditations Among the Tombs"—a religion that prospers best in a bad state of the liver! I speak of the religion that Christ preached. I suppose, when that religion has conquered the world, that disease will be banished and that a man 100 years of age will come in from business and say, "I am tired; I think it must be time for me to go," and without one physical pang heaven will have him. But the chief beauty of grace is in the soul. It takes that which was hard and cold and repulsive and makes it all over again. It pours upon one's nature what David calls "the beauty of holiness." It extirpates everything that is hateful and unclean. If jealousy and pride and lust and worldliness lurk about, they are chained and have a very small sweep. Jesus throws upon the soul the fragrance of a summer garden as he comes in, saying, "I am the Rose of Sharon," and he submerges it with the glory of a spring morning as he says, "I am the light." Oh how much that grace did for the three Johns! It took John Bunyan, the foul mouthed, and made him John Bunyan, the immortal dreamer; it took John Newton, the infidel sailor, and in the midst of the hurricane made him cry out, "My mother's God, have mercy upon me!" It took John Summerfield from a life of sin and by the hand of a Christian maker of edge tools led him into the pulpit that burns still with the light of that Christian eloquence which charmed thousands to the Jesus whom he once despised. Ah, you may search all the world over for anything so beautiful or, beautifying as the grace of God Go all through the deep mine passages of Willezeka and amid the underground kingdoms of salt in Hallstadt and show me anything so exquisite, so transcendently beautiful as this grace of God fashioned and hung in eternal crystals. Again, grace is like salt in the fact that it is a necessity of life. Man and beast perish without salt. What are those paths across the western prairies? Why, they were made there by deer and buffalo going to and coming away from the salt "licks." Chemists and physicians all the world over tell us that salt is a necessity of life. And so with the grace of God; you must have it or die. I know a great many speak of it as a mere adornment, a sort of shoulder strap adorning a soldier, or a light, frothing dessert brought in after the greatest part of the banquet of life is over, or a medicine to be taken after powders and mustard plasters have failed to do their work, but ordinarily a mere superfluity, a string of bells around a horse's neck while he draws the load and in nowise helping him to draw it. So far from that, I declare the grace of God to be the first and the last necessity. Again, I remark that grace is like salt in abundance. God has strewn salt in vast profusion all over the contiments. Russia seems built on a salt-cellar. There is one region of that country that turns out 90,000 tons in a year. England and Russia and Italy have inexhaustible resources in this respect. Norway and Sweden, white with snow above, white with salt beneath, Austria, yielding 900,000 tons annually. Nearly all the nations rich in it—rock salt, spring salt, sea salt. Christ, the Creator of the World, when he uttered our text, knew it would become more and more significant as the shafts were sunk, and the springs were bored, and the pumps were worked, and the crystals were gathered. So the grace of God is abundant. It is for all lands, for all ages, for all conditions. Again, the grace of God is like salt in the way we come at it. The salt on the surface is almost always impure—that which incrusts the Rocky mountains and the South American pampas and in India—but the miners go down through the shafts and through the dark labyrinths and along by galleries of rock and with torches and pleckaxes find their way under the very foundations of the earth to where the salt lies that makes up the nation's wealth. To get to the best saline springs of the earth huge machinery goes down, boring depth below depth, depth below depth, until from under the very roots of the mountains the saline water supplies the aqueduct. This water is brought to the surface and is exposed in tanks to the sun for evaporation, or it is put in boilers mightily heated, and the water evaporates, and the salt gathers at the bottom of the tank. The work is completed and the fortune is made. So with the grace of God. It is to be profoundly sought after. With all the concentrated energies of body, mind and soul we must dig for it. No man stumbles accidentally on it. We need to go down to the very lowest strata of earnestness and faith to find it. Superficial exploration will not turn it up. We must strive and implore and dig until we strike the spring foaming with living waters. Then the work of evaporation begins, and as, when the saline waters are exposed to the sun the vapors float away, leaving nothing but the pure white salt at the bottom of the tank, so, when the Christian's soul is exposed to the Sun of Righteousness, the vapors of pride and self-fulness and worldliness float off and there is chiefly left beneath pure white holiness of heart. But I remark again that the grace of God is like the salt in its preservative quality. You know that salt absorbs the moisture of articles of food and infuses them with brine, which preserves them for a long while. Salt is the great antiputrefactor of the world. Experimenters, in preserving wood, have tried sugar and smoke and airtight jars and everything else, but as long as the world stands Christ's words will be suggestive, and men will admit that as a great preservative "salt is good." But for the grace of God the earth would have become a stale carcass long before this. That grace is the only preservative of laws and constitutions and literatures. Just as soon as a government loses this salt of divine grace it perishes. The philosophy of this day, so far as it antagonistic to this religion, putrefies and stinks. The great want of our schools of learning and our institutions of science to-day is not more Leyden jars and galvanic batteries and spectroscopes and philosophical apparatus, but more of that grace that will teach our men of science that the God of the universe is the God of the Bible. How strange it is that in all their magnificent sweep of the telescope they have not seen the morning star of Jesus and that in all their experiments with light and heat they have not seen the light and felt the warmth of the Sun of Righteousness! We want more of the salt of God's grace in our homes, in our schools, in our colleges, in our social life, in our Christianity. And that which has it will live; that which has it not will die. I proclaim the tendency of everything earthly to putrefaction and death, the religion of Christ the only preservative. My subject is one of great congratulation to those who have within their souls this gospel antiseptic. This salt will preserve them through the temptations and sorrows of life and through the ages of eternity. I do not mean to say that you will have a smooth time because you are a Christian. On the contrary, if you do your whole duty I will promise you a rough time. You march through an enemy's country, and they will try to double up both flanks and to cut you off from your source of supplies. The war you wage will not be with toy arrows, but sword plunged to the hilt and spurring on your steed over heaps of the slain. But I think that God omnipotent will see you through. I think he will. But why do I talk like an atheist when I ought to say I know he will? "Kept by the power of God through faith unto complete salvation." When Governor Geary of Pennsylvania died years ago I lost a good friend. He impressed me mightily with the horrors of war. In the eight hours that we rode together in the cars he recited to me the scenes through which he had passed in the civil war. He said that there came one battle upon which everything seemed to pivot. Telegrams from Washington said that the life of the nation depended on that struggle. He said to me: "I went into that battle, sir, with my son. His mother and I thought everything of him. You know how a father will feel toward his son who is coming up manly and brave and good. Well, the battle opened and concentrated, and it was awful. Horses and riders bent and twisted and piled up together. It was awful, sir. We quit firing and took to the point of the bayonet. Well, sir, I didn't feel like myself that day. I had prayed to God for strength for that particular battle, and I went into it feeling that I had in my right arm the strength of ten giants," and as the Governor brought his arm down on the back of the seat it fairly made the car tremble. "Well," he said, the battle was desperate, but after awhile we gained a little, and we marched on a little. I turned round to the troops and shouted, "Come on, boys," and I stepped across a dead soldier, and, lo, it was my son! I saw at the first glance he was dead, and yet I did not dare to stop a minute, for the crisis had come in the battle, so I just got down on my knees and I threw my arms around him, and gave him one good kiss and said, "Good-bye, dear, and sprang up and shouted, "Come on, boys!" "So it is in the Christian conflict. It is a fierce fight. Heaven is waiting for the bulletins to announce the tremendous issue. Hail of shot, gash of saber, fall of battleax, groaning on every side. We can not stop for loss or bereavement or anything else. With one ardent embrace and loving kiss we utter our farewells and then cry, "Come on, boys! There are other heights to be captured, there are other foes to be conquered, there are other crowns to be won." Yet as one of the Lord's surgeons I must bind up, two or three wounds. Just lift them now. whatever they be. I have been told there is nothing like salt to stop the bleeding of a wound, and so I take this salt of Christ's gospel and put it on the lacerated soul. It smarts a little at first, but see, the bleeding stops, and to, the flesh comes again as the flesh of a little child! "Salt is good." "Comfort one another with these words."

Several months after Paymaster Wilcox made his trip into the interior, a party of soldiers, composed of old gold miners, made a trip up the Pasig and into the Monte Blanco region. Here, in the vicinity of San Juan, they found the wild interior tribes engaged in alluvial gold mining, and in spite of their crude facilities they succeeded in obtaining considerable quantities of gold. At places the prospectors obtained very satisfactory results, but, as in all former cases, they were closely watched by the natives, and finally they were compelled to return to Manila. A month or so later the Fillpino outbreak came on, and for the time all thoughts of gold mining were dispelled. While our troops lay before Calocan, a town four miles from Manila, the soldiers at times washed gold from the little streams there, and at many places on the advance to Malolos good gold leeds were found in volcanic formations. At many places along the mountains similar deposits have been located, but until the island is pacified it is not probable that any great attention will be given to any kind of mining—Engineering and Mining Journal.

They had been dancing fast and were now in search of a cool, quiet corner. "Come this way," she said. He followed through the window to the dark end of the long plaza, where they found a wicker tete-a-tete. "Ah! isn't this fine?" he said. It was an intermission after five dances, and the night was warm. The ballroom was soon deserted. Here, at the end of the plaza, they found themselves alone. The situation pleased. She was tall, with black hair and eyes to match; well dressed and a beauty. He was handsome, but not very tall, with rich auburn hair and cold blue eyes. "So you are from Boston, are you. Miss Dean?" What do you think of New York? "Oh, I came only yesterday," she said. "I thought you had been here several weeks." "Mr. Temple, do you think Boston girls are cold? You know the funny papers are continually referring to the Boston girls as 'ice plants,' 'skate roads' and 'liquid air.' They are horrid." "They certainly are—the papers," he said. He thought her charming. He did not think her cold. "No, Miss Dean. I don't think Boston girls are cold." The air was growing chilly. One of his hands somehow found one of hers. She didn't appear to mind at all. "Is Boston a very pleasant place, Miss Dean?" "Yes, indeed." she said. He was still holding her hand. Presently he lifted it to his face and kissed it. And then, somehow, it rested upon his shoulder—not the one next to her. "Isn't it delightful out here?" she said. "It certainly is," said he. He leaned over toward her, put his arms about her and kissed her. The position was good. He liked it immensely. He felt her arms about his neck, tighter and tighter. The position was better. She didn't say anything. He didn't reply. They heard the music begin. It sounded far away and they didn't care. It stopped, but they hardly noted it. After several dances some angry man went to look for her to claim his dance and they had to go inside. When the ball was over and he was saying his good nights to her she told him he must come to see her right soon. He said he certainly would, the very next day. The next day, at lunch down town, he met the host of the night before. "Deceased fine girl, that Miss Dean from Boston," said Temple. "I must call on her." "She isn't from Boston," said his friend. "She isn't? Then from where?" said Temple, excitedly. "From Chicago, and she went home this morning," said his friend.—C. G. Gribble, in the Smart Set.

Some Peculiarities of a Distinctive Class of People on Intand Waterways. One cannot travel along any of the larger interior waterways, either by steamboat or rail, without catching sight of the water denizens' queer alike habitations. Contemptuous references to them as "shanty-boat folks" are to be seen in the newspapers of all river towns, and heard in the conversation of all river-bank dwellers, and no State watered by the Mississippi, the Ohio, the Missouri, or any of their larger branches, is ever clear of them. Steamboat men say they number from 10,000 to 12,000; some of the more intelligent water folk themselves place the total at from 12,000 to 15,000 at least, while all agree that, instead of becoming fewer, they are increasing as the years roll round. This, notwithstanding the adverse ordinances of certain municipalities, and the repressive but entirely inoperative statutes of two or three States. It is forbidden any shanty-boat man to "tie up" within the boundaries of the municipalities referred to, excepting in cases of dire emergency; the States in question prohibit the existence of "shanty-boat folks" at all. Dry land supports no corresponding class. In truth, they can not be treated properly as a single class, for they are split up into almost as many subdivisions as those who live on shore. Frequently the subdivisions are not sharply defined, however, and, indeed, it would not be easy to draw an exact line, separating river from land dwellers in all cases. But, in some respects, the water folk are as a unit. They return the contempt of the "shore people" with interest. Without exception, they are infatuated with "the river," as they broadly term the entire system, and, matter how much they may differ among themselves, they hang together when in trouble with outsiders. They call themselves "the river people" and sniff disdainfully when that title is applied to steamboat men, rostabouts, or even the raftsmen who pilot great fields of timber and logs down the mighty streams.—From "The River People," by Dexter Marshall, in Scribner's. Would Make a Better Selection "I don't understand Filkins.

The story of the first American voyage to Africa, of which we have a definite record, tells us somewhat of the methods employed in obtaining slave cargoes. A Boston ship, commanded by one Captain Smith, went away to Madeira with salt-fish and staves. Sailing thence, with the proceeds of her sale, she "touched on the coast of Guinea" for slaves. She found some London slave-vessels already there, with their captains very much disgruntled because trade was dull. There were very few slaves for sale, that is, methods employed in obtaining slave and to liven matters a little, the Yankees and the Londoners united, and "on pretence of some quarrel with the natives landed a 'murderer'—the expressive name of a small cannon—attacked a negro village on Sunday, killed many of the inhabitants, and made a few prisoners, two of whom fell to the share of the Bost in ship." That was in 1645—just twenty-six years after the "Dutchman" landed the slaves in Virginia, as recorded by John Rolfe, the first American squaw man. False pretense, outrage and the slaughter of innocents characterized the first-recorded gathering of slaves in which an American ship had part. They "killed many of the inhabitants," and got two slaves for their share of the plunder. That Captain Smith's act was not according to the ordinary usages of the trade may be inferred from what happened when he returned to Boston. A quarrel with the ship's owner over the proceeds of the voyage resulted in a law suit. The story of the voyage was told in court, and although it was not a criminal trial, one of the magistrates "charged the master with a three-fold offence, murder, man-stealing and Sabbath breaking." The captain escaped punishment on these charges, on the ground that the court had no jurisdiction over crimes committed in Africa (a decision that was typical of what was to come), but the two slaves were returned home.—From "The Slave Trade in America," by John R. Spears, in Scribner's. Catarrh Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they can get reach the seat of the disease.

The Best Prescription Is Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic. The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle. So That the People May Know Just What They Are Taking. Imitators do not advertise their formula knowing that you would not buy their medicine if you knew what it contained. Grove's contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives the malaria out of the system. Any reliable druggist will tell you that Grove's is the Original and that all other so-called "Tasteless" chill tonics are imitations. An analysis of other chill tonics shows that Grove's is superior to all others in every respect. You are not experimenting when you take Grove's—its superiority and excellence having long been established. Grove's is the only Chill Cure sold throughout the entire malarial sections of the United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, 500 as 300,000,000 of them are being smoked this year.

A change is gradually taking place in the nationality of cotton mill employees in New England. This has become more noticeable with the recent increased activity of the mills. In some Connecticut and Rhode Island mills Greeks are being hired, while in many Fall River mills preference is being given to Portuguese and Polanders, who have been arriving there quite rapidly in the last 12 months. Russians were quite acceptable at one time, but it was found that they sought work outside of the mills as they saved a little money. The influx of French Canadians has long since ceased to be a subject of comment. Of all the foreign elements, manufacturers say the Portuguese are the most docile and faithful. The Canadian element is a much more independent one to handle, and is more mercurial in its movings from mill to mill. The Poles find it difficult to get beyond the more simple operations until they have made some attempt at mastering the English language. But the change in the nationality of the help in the mills is not quite so striking as the substitution for women and young girls of men varying in age from 21 to 45 years.—New York Post.

If your hair is short and harsh and kinky; if your scalp is covered with scurf and dandruff, or itch, or eczema, it is doubtless your fault alone. If your little ones' heads are a mass of crusty, scaly, flaky scurf, teeming with germs and microbes, that are invisible to the naked eye, but which are sapping the life from the hair and destroying it forever, and you allow this state to go on, it is a crime.
