XVIII NO.17 ECHOES JASP THE SCENE AT The Widow In For Order THE SUN SERMCN IN F WHAT HE The report of key, John Jasper's Sun Sermon was written by Editor John Mitchell, Jr., and at the time submitted to that divine, who ap proved the same. It is as follows: Rev. Jasper arose and proceeded to deliver the sermon. Text: Exodus 15:3. "The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is His name." He said: "I want this one thing to be understood that March 28, 1898. was the 20th year of this discourse, and I have preached it not less than 250 odd times. THE SEXTON'S QUESTION. The sexton of this church knows that he asked me to preach this text. I never thought of the philosophers one time. And if I thought of Rev. Wella, pastor of the colored Ebenser Baptist Church one, I thought of him one million times. I never thought of him once. There is no part of the Bible that I have not the right to preach. I preached the text from the purest motives that I ever preached a text in my life. I showed that it was necessary to have faith in God and I referred to the bible between Joshua and the Amorites. I said then if they would have faith in God, He would do the same for them, even as He had stopped the sun for Joshua. This was all that I attempted to show RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1901. and yet he set me up as a contemptible base liar; that he did not believe it and would not be bullied into believing it, in thousands of others did not believe it. THE NEWS IN THE OLD WORLD. Then, too, it was sowed in the Old World that I was an old contemptible base liar. A man, who speaks the truth, preaches God's word. They say I'm most dead but I am here in the defense of the Baptist faith. Before I will forfeit my honor, I will let God take my body and walk on me like a foot-mat." The Elder was severe on Rev. Wells. Relative to his saite deprecations of him, he said, "I am not saving it like a hypothetical either. You can tell him I said it. God appointed me and said that I should be a Moses and shouldn't be exceeded in my day. I took him at his word. When I was interrogated on my experience of faith, the brother said, 'Look here, Mr. Jasper, can't you read the Bible?' I said No, sir. He said, 'How could you answer those questions?' told him that God gave me knowledge we have been through fire and don't want to forget it. If ever Shadrah, Meheck and Abbadh through a furnace of fire, I've been through it. If I cannot get along through the world without agreeing with everybody. I say, Lord, let me die the death of a dog. GOD ANNOINTED HIM God sent me and anointed me to preach His gospel. He sent me to preach His gospel, not the philosopher's gospel. I am preaching I pull off my coat and how shall I put it on? I wash my feet and how shall I defile them? I was trying to show those who were not religious how to have faith in God. I said that there was nothing that gentleman could do to satisfy Jesper, but to go to the same printing office and take it back. I ain't got time to give no more of the character of man just now. The text says, 'The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is His name.' What you want is for a man to come right up to the text and explain it to you. ONLY ELEVEN SAVED. Preach the word of God distinct and clear and comprehensively. We will preach to you about Abraham and Aram, and the origin of the Jews." He referred to the ark and flood. If there were any more of the ante-deluvians saved out of the ark than 11, I have not found them. The world had been created. They were Noah and his wife, Shem. Ham and Japheth and three wives, Abel, whom Oain slew, Seth and Enoch, who walked and talked with God, making eleven. Some one asked me, "What about poor Adam?" I said, ask God what will become of poor you, and not what will become of poor Adam. THE DAYS OF TERAH. Coming down to the days of Terah, the father of Abraham, it was God's purpose to distinguish to himself a peculiar people. He said to Abraham, 'Come from thy father's house and I will make of you a great people.' Abraham came out and was driven by a famine through the country and went down into Egypt. His wife, Sarah was a perfect beauty and Pharaoh took her, being enamored with her. God sent a plague upon him. Pharaoh turned her out and gave her Hagar as a servant. Abraham had a boy, thinking that the boy would bring about God's great consummation. God said, 'No, I will make Isaac the instrument.' When Abraham became 21 years, he looked upon the first appointed heir. The families of the earth shall be blessed through Isaac. THE OFFERING OF ISAAC. 'Now, you get Isaac and take him with the fire-wood and offer him as a sacrifice.' He went to the mountain and got down off the ass he rode upon, and went into the mountain. He went on and arranged the altar. Isaac said, 'Father, where is the lamb?' He tied the boy and placed him upon the altar. As he was about to slay him, a voice spoke from heaven, 'Abraham, slay not thy son.' Look into the thicket and you will find a ram caught by the horns. Secure him and offer him as a sacrifice. One hundred years afterwards he saw what he was going to do. Abraham begat Isaac and Isaac begat Jacob and Esau. He had him and Jacob got two wives, and he served seven years with each and got seven sons by each wife—14 sons, and they became heads of families. From them were descended the 12 tribes. WENT DOWN INTO EGYPT. Finally, they went down in Egypt and served 400 years in slavery. They went down in Egypt and multiplied. They were oppressed and called upon God for His divine sympathy in their oppression. When they asked God for His divine sympathy, they cried earnestly and sincerely for God to relieve them of their oppression. WILL MAKE YOU PRAY. Some of you knew what praying meant in times back. They had to pray for themselves. When they had some one behind them with switches, they could pray. I am going to make you pray now. I am going to switch the Hebrew flashe, the king looked upon the Hebrew flashe, the men and he became alarmed, lest what people attacked him they would combine with them against him. He said to the mid-wives, exterminate all of the male children and let the females live. Then came Moses. He was found to be an extraordinary child, and they put him out in an ark in the bulrushes. The queen came down and heard the child cry. She took it and got a nurse—the same being Moses mother, and they going out one day, he saw an Egyptian girl cribwre. He killed she.

Moses said, 'this thing must be known I will leave here.' He left with his people. It was here God appeared to him in a burning bush. He directed him to go down into Egypt and tell them my people go. Moses suffered an impalpable wound he said he could not do it. God told him to take his brother a spokesman. God said that he knew Paracase was stubborn-hearced, but when He sent ten plagues on him, he would partially submit, and he will send out to bring them back. Then some a messenger unto Pharaoh, saying that the Israelites are entangled in the wilderness. He brings yu in again to the desert, and yu is of war Lord is His name' Pharaoh orders 600 chariots. Where are you going Pharach? I am going out to fight Jehovah. Where? In the wilderness. THE PILLAR OF CLOUD. God led the Israelites by day by a pillar of clouds, and by night by a pillar of fire. When the clouds stopped, Moses and Aaron stopped. When Moses and Aaron stopped, the camp stopped. When they rushed forward, lo, there was the Red Sea. Moving to the righthere was a moun tain and on the left. another mountain. There was a sea before, a host behind and rocks on either hand. He told them to go and strike and that he would dry up; and they could pass through on dry land. Look in the 14th chapter of xixton and see you don't find them. When that kind came it dried up the sea. Then Moses with his two, tribes passed over. When the last of them entered the sea the cloud withdrew. THE DESTRUCTION OF PHARAOH. Pharaoh saw them enter the sea. When his 600 chariots and infantry upon the sea started to go over, the Israelites started upon the other side, God Almighty, who never sleeps or slumbers says, "My eyes are always opened to the righteous and my ears are open to their cries." When the last of the 600 chariots of Pharaoh had entered the sea, He said, 'Raise your red Moses, and let the sea come together.' The Lord has his J. REV. W. F. GRAHAM, D. P.

In the Israelites sang a song, 'How strong the sea is, how strong the sea is.' Who would not love thy name? Then they left everything and marched on. PRICE 5 CENTS T STREET BRIDGE. 27 N.

He, went there to bu}‘goldfish for his maiden aunt, whoylited in the country, and ‘he bad no notion of investing in “a dog, but such o friendship sprang up Detween him and the brute that he couldn't resist. Gannon claims that the dog asked ‘him to buy him as plainly as a person sould without the use of articulate seechy but dog owners are as keen to and exploit the wisdom of their pls as mothers are to inter pret tHe gurglings of, their babies, and allpwance mustibe made for this ity in Gannpa. But Jim, a the dog was christened, developed iato ajremarkably knowing animal. ‘There ‘was no apparent end to his ebility|to learn, and Gannon's in- genulty in teaching htm tricks. Er- erything possible to a dog of his giant physique, he did, and Gannon set as’much store by him as though he were human. He ected as bodys guard for his master, whose was in Real Estate row, and could be trusted to carry a note to anyone of a dozen or more places. His size, and saturnine countenance insured bim respectful treatment from stran- Be: st 3 2 Rt ree ae iy es Veugy (yy=nb ‘g Hg) i \ an ye =a My) ers, and his anmjabifity’ made him Popidlar Awith petsons' who knew him. Still-he wad not’ a dog to encourage close friemiships? He was uniformly affabte, but for Gannon alone he seemed to cherish an abiding affec- tion. [¥}they were separated Jim ‘would not eat, and at a word from Ggnnop he would have launched his dig carcass at a wild elephant. ‘Their friendship had endured two years when Jim performed the feat Bhat brought him the broad silver ‘collar that he wears. Two highway- men attacked Gannon, and Jim broke the right arm of one of them, and Gannon shot the other with the re- volver that Jim’s prisoner dropped. ‘The robbers were criminals of note, ‘and Jim and Gannon got much fame out of the exploit, but neither seemed Jealous of the other. It was soon after this that Gan- non saw The Woman. Jim was not ‘with him, and if he had been the result would have been the same, For Gan- non lost his heart as soon as his eyes rested on her. “Her skin was as smocth and soft as the sunkissed ‘side of a peach, andthe gleam of the topaz was in her eyes. Her person- ality was burned into Gannon’s brain ‘and heart. He went to his office with her image just behind his eye- Yalls. Half forgotten bits of verse and fragments of love songs strug- gled for utterance on his lips. He hadn't spoken to her, He might never see her again, but she was The Woman. He might marry another, ‘but hers would be the image in his inner heart. When Gannon saw.her next Jim cwas with him., She was coming from @ department store. “Gannon gazed on her as long as he could without attracting the attention of the po: liceman stationed on the corner to discourage the mashing industry. He revolved An his mind divers possible and. denposeible- schemes *fot-forining a Sura back the hand of time 606 years or so and wear her glove bound te his helm ana poke holes in- many fron-clad gentlemen for wearing the Bloves.of other ladies. He wanted to her from a burning building, or ogee wrecked with her. Jing eevidently shared Gannon’s opinion that she was a nice woman to know, und not being bound by the conventions of human society, he Progeeded -straightway to show his approval. The Woman was startled when Jim nudged her gloved hand with his big muvzle, but when her eyes met his she read a friendly in- tent in them, and gave him a reas- suring pat. “Why, he looks like Hector,” she said to the girl with her, ‘The girl, who was thin, and didn’t look healthy, shrank away from Jim, and said: “Please don't. The brute might bite you.” ‘The Woman laughed and walked on. Jim circled playfully around her as though of a mind to accompany her. A whistle from Gannon brought him to heel, and The Woman said to the thin ‘girl: “That man must own the dog. T've half a mind to ask him if he would sell him. He's such a fine-looking creature.” “Why, Ellen! Speak to a strange man on the street? I'm shocked.” “AN right, dear, T won't; but I'd like to own him.” “The man?” said the thin girl, whose thinness was partially caused by her temper. ‘The Woman made no answer, and the two got in a handsome victoria drawn by a pair of nervous bay horses. Gannon and Jim proceeded to Broadway, and stopped to look at a trick bicyclist in bizarre raiment darting in and out among the ye- hicles and bearing an advertisement of a dentifrice. “That feller'll wind up by skeerin* some man’s hoss,” said a countryman, “I shouldn't wonder,” replied) Gan- non, passing on with his mind on The Woman, He and Jim were two blocks farther on when the sound of a run- away team's fast-flying hoofs striking the granite pavement came to his ears. Turning, Gannon saw a pair of bay horses tearing down the street with a victoria swaying behind them. The coachman was doing his best, but the horses were beyond his control. As Gannon looked, he saw two Indies in the carriage. One was The Woman! “Here, Jim!” called Gannon, dashing into the street. “Catch, boy! Stop ‘emt” Among the accomplishments that Gannon had drilled Jim in was throw- ing bullock. He did it on a wager to humble the pride of a stockyards man, who claimed to have the beat cattle dog that ever headed a steer. It was a time tat Jim reveled in, and as ‘soon as he saw the runaway horses and heard Gannon’s ery, he knew what he had to do. Deploying in the path of the team, Jim waited with every muscle tense, his big red tongue hanging out, and his eyes glowing like fire. He let the horses get within 20 feet of him, ‘then bounding forward to meet them | $prung for the muzzle of the nearest. ie white fangs sank into the delicate akin of the horse's nose, and the full weight of the canine giant was thrown Fdownward and backward towarda the bay's knees. ‘The overcheck rein snapped, and the horse went down with Jim hetween his legs. ‘The coach- man was thrown forward and nearly broke the other horse’s back. Gannon and a dozen other men crowded around the horses. Jim was badly hurt, but held to the horse till he heard Gan- non’s voice ordering him to let go. ‘Then he limped to bis owner and wagged his tail feebly but proudly. “Pardon me, sir; ate you the owner of the dog that stopped those horses?” Gannon told the stout old gentleman vho had addressed him that he was. “Iwant to thank you, sir, and the dog, too. I am Mr. Chesbrough—Nicholas Chesbrough, and those ladies whose lives your dog saved are my daughter and my niece. What is your name? Gannon gave the stout old gentleman hiscard, and said he was happy to think that his dog had. been of service, and hoped the ladies were not hurt. “Not a particle; not.a particle, Here they are now.” Gantion was introduced to The Wom- fy-and-the thin girl, and Jim licked the hand of The Woman with undis- guised affection. “He acts as if he knew you,” said Gannon, “I do believe he is Hector," suid The | Woman. “I hada dog just like him, and he disappeared two years and a half | 880. just before we went to Europe.” “Jim, do you know this Indy?” said Ganron. ‘Jim barked joyfully. | “Possibly he ix your dog. If he is—” “No; you mustn’t say you'll give him | up.” interrupted The Woman. “But you'll bring him to see us, won't you?” | And Gannon did, not once, but J often, and now when The Woman goes | for a'stroll Jim walks with her.

Townsend, of Troy, the combative Roun@-Head of the bar-and stump, told of having seen the venerable Chancellor Walworth asleep on the bench. “The honorable gentleman does not tell us," said Mr. Evarte in reply, “whether he was present as counsel or as a spectator on the oc- easion of which he speaks so feel- ingly, but it is well known to the members of the bar that the vener- able chancellor never slept when any- thing was transpiring worthy of his attention."—N.

THE ELECTRICAL WORLD. Six hundred thousand persons are @nployed in the electrical industries of the United States end about $4- 000,000,000 is invested in them. Prof. Robenan, the Berlir electrical expert, who is studying the applica- bility of electric traction to the Trans-Siberian railroad, states that within ten years one will be able to travel around the world in 22 days. Plans are about completed to close up the gaps between New York and Philadelphia and complete a trotley line between the two big cities. The tracks of a couple of steam roads are to be used for a portion of the way and a high rate of speed is expected. The promoters say that the full fare each way will be one dollar.

The church gowns, while usually on the tailor's space order, are fine examples of that mode, and the toilettees seen at the church and church concerts are really quite as elaborate as it is possible to make them and still be in good taste. One of the tailormade church gowns that serves as a good example of the prevailing fashion is of soft gray cloth. The bodice has a tucked front, and is slightly bloused. The back fits perfectly, with clusters of three tucks in three clusters. The skirt is tucked all the way around in clusters of three, and a small space between. These tucks are left loose about eight inches from the bottom, this giving a full flounce effect. A second of these church gowns that is a trifle more elaborate is of the lightest fawn cloth. The skirt has a plain TWO CHARMING MODELS OF panel front, with rows of machine attaching at each side, while the sides and back have a shaped circular flounce, this extending half-way up the back, and finishing with numerous rows of attaching. The coat has a slightly bloused effect in front, with turn-over collar and pointed revers. This is trimmed with velvet, having the vei- A BEAUTIFUL LENTEN RECEPTION GOWN put down the front, and in little tab ends with gold buttons to finish. The sleeves are quite full at the shoulder, fitting snugly below, with deep turn- over cuffs and tabs of velvet with the gold buttons to finish. One of the elastate gowns worn at a recent charity concert is a combination of cloth, silk, guipure lace applique and chiffon. The bodice is of a delicate mauve silk, with strappings of guipure insertion to form a yoke. Below this is a bolero of the lace to the waist line, and cascade of white chiffon at one side. The sleeves are of silk above the elbow, finished with Courteous Treatment The clerk in the bookstore smiled courteously when the gentleman came in and asked for "Unleavened Iced." "The bakery is next door," he said, very politely—Town Topics. Handy Thing to Have. "What is memory, Pat?"

The skirts has a full accordion plating of the silk with four panels of the cloth from the waist line to the bottom of the skirt. These are trimmed with guipure applique. Fashions for the Summer Man of the New Year WY I don't stop discussing our new ladies and their beloubs and give a few moments to uninteresting man? As a woman said to me a few days ago: "I always watch the hints on men's fashions so that I may know whether Will is in style or not. I have to give some attention to his dress, as he is neglectful of the small details of it." How accurately that describes hundreds and thousands of cases. Of what value is it to the wife to be in touch with the latest in gowns if her husband is to spoil it all by wearing out of date coats, shirts, neckwear or hats. In a general way it is said that the styles in men's garments, which were a product of the war with Spain, the comparatively tight-fitting military ef THE LENTEN CHURCH QOWNS. feet, will remain. They have proven popular, and men do not demand such variety and change as do women. Some have carried the military jacket and peg top trousers to extremes in the past two seasons, and these extremes will not be noticeable again this year, but the West Point model will still serve to a certain extent for the man of fashion. For summer wear light serges will take the place of the fancy flannels of last year. In color these serges will be almost invariably dark blue, with fine stripes of very dark green, red or white running through them. Home-spun, in light gray tones, will also be a popular material for men's summer wear. In many other ways the summer man will be less gorgeous than he was last year. Summer shirt patterns have lost the splendor that distinguished them the last season, and the negligee shirt is not going to be nearly so brilliant as it was. Glaring pinks and vivid blues, stripes of yellow, green and red and solid colors of barbary tinge have all passed out of fashion. The seeker for striking patterns is confronted by sober blues and white or pink and white stripes, and nothing more glaring is to be had from the establishments that consider themselves foremost in matters of style. There have been no changes in the way of making the summer shirts. The best of them will have the broad plaits down the front. Some in plain white are relieved by a narrow stretch of hemsitching that adds variety and considerable expense. It is quite possible for a man to pay $12 for a linen shirt and there are some to be had for $18, but they are partly silk. All are made with the broad plaits down the bosom. SARAH DAVIDSON.

Echoes from Rev. Jasper's Funeral (CONTINUED FROM 1ST PAGE) They say, 'Let us take some grapes so that Moses may see.' They cut off a clue and it was so large that it took two men to carry it. The men of the place were of large stature, descending from a giant race, they saw them. They said we will go to Moses and report that we will never see them, they weakened but Joshua and Caleb others were hypocrites like some who got into the church, and profess one thing and mean another. THE HYPOCRITES OF TO-DAY. "What do you think of Jasper?" "I think he is a fine gentleman." They don't mean it. They run here, want property and don't care any more about your soul but a whip-poor will does about latin. Caleb was one of those heavy fellows. He talked heavy. J shua had a weak voice. They said, "God's should go unto Canaan and drive out the seven idolatrous nations. W can do. The Israelites got so wrought up that they took up stones go throw at Mose's tent and he had to bow. They threw their stones down and returned to their tents. They moved forward from the wilderness of Paran to Shittem. See Deut. 84th chapter. THE LEADER OF THE YOUNG TRIBES: Joshua and Oaleb took the young tribes and went to the banks of the river. They sent out two more spies. They were shown kindness and were consoled by Rahab. She said, "The young country is scared. Now, therefore I you swear unto me by the Lord, since you swear shown you kindness, that ye will also show kindness unto my father's house and give me a true token. They said. Take this scarlet thread and harg is out your window and you shall be saved and all your household. But if you come into the street your blood shall be upon your own head. After they had come to the city and were taking Jericho, they wanted to shout as they were going around the city. Joshua said, "You pass around six times and on the seventh tim shout." They did so and carried the this shows that the Lord is a man of want, the Lord is His name. I guess I better leave out something, but I can Gideon, I will leave out Al. Richmond is called the capitol of the South. Some think that Richmond is all the heaven they want. GREAT GIDEON. That was the way it was with great Gideon—a great royal city. When the kings heard of Joshua, the capture of Ai, they said 'Let us get some old clothes, some old shoes and some old mouldy meat, and tell the Israelites that we came from afar off' Joshua took them at their word and made them hewers of wood and drawers of water. When the 7 kings heard of it, they said that they would fight against great Gideon. The philosophers say that the sut. is stationed and that the world revolves around on its axis. What does the axis move on? One said to me, 'Mr Jasper, the interpretation you give is according to divine revelation. We do not agree among ourselves.' HE COULLN'T TELL. When a philosopher was asked what the earth rested upon, he said, 'A serpent.' What does the serpent rest upon? He said, 'A turtle.' What does the turtle rest upon? He said, 'I don't know.' Wouldn't there compelled to be something to hold the turtle up? You've got to find a foundation somewhere. I'll tell you. It is resting upon the power of God. He has prepared this world where the sons of men shall dwell. You'll remember when Sameon went unto the Philistines to get unto Timnath to get his wife, he passed a vine, yard. SAMSON'S RIDDLE. He caught the lion and rent it in twain. When he came back to the vineyard of Tinnath, he went to the place where he had killed the lion and the bees had made honey in the carcass. He tasted it.. It was customary in those days to have a feast at the marriage, and when the young men gathered he put forth a riddle unto them. They persuaded his wife to tell th-m the riddle. Nee Judges 14:18. 'And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down. 'What is awester than honey and what is stronger than a lion?' The sun went down that day if it never went down before. David said, 'From the rising of the sun, to the going down of the same, the Lord's name shall be praised.' THE SUN MOVES See Psalms 50: 'The mishy God, even the Lord hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof' How could it rise and go down if it didn't move? See Ecclesiastes 1:15: 'The sun also areeth and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his places where he ares. Could it do that unless it moved. If that don't suit you, look at Isaiah 88th chanter, 8th verse: 'Behold I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahs, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.' Could it do it without moving? Give us another. I'll give you the strongest. God will have to give you the balances. See Malachi 1:11: For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles.' GOD CANNOT LIE Anybody tell me that Gold told a lie? You can call me a liar, but you had better not call Him a liar too often. Some say that we are living on a round earth. Did any one ever teach you that four corners mean round? If they did, you had better get rid of those teachers as soon as you can and get an old stick and broom and sweep them away See Revelations 7:1. 'And after these things, I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth.' Philosophers say that at mid-day, there is a nation that have there feet RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA. right against our feet. When did God right against the people of you to walk on their heads? THAT OTHER NATION. If there is a nation with their feet to ours who made them? Does this book say about them? God don't know them. The prophets didn't know them and I've been preaching going on 59 years having preached 27 000 sermons and I don't know them. I don't know how to get to them. God 'go ye into all the world,' not words. If they exist, they are forever disfranchised. They have been out among the 4 Africans, the Russians, the Indians, the pagans, the Japanese, and they don't give any report of them. THE PHILOSOPHER'S PEOPLE. And if the philosophers don't save those people, they are just as sure of hell as they be. The theory that I give on the sun stands endorsed in every house of learning in these United States and I would not go too far if I stepped a little ways out. In the Congress of the nation at the capital, in the capital of the South, before the judge will prosecute a case he swears you on this Bible, not the philosopher's bible.

Different Styles and Bow They Should Be Cut-Circular. Gore and Flare Skirts-The Completed Garment. [Copyright, 1901, by American Press Association.] There are three distinct styles of skirts for this season and several others which are based upon these three models, but made differently by some change of trimming or other minor arrangement. The first is the circular; the second is the plain seven gored which has been the standard for so many years that it is scarcely necessary to speak of it more than to say that it forms the basis of some of the prettiest of the season's gowns. It is particularly well adapted to any suit where flounces or other full trimming is to be added. And flounces are to be very popular on thin dresses. The seven gore skirt is the best model where economy in material is concerned, when the material is such that there is no up or down. In that case it can be cut in what the manufacturers call "close lay." This means that the breadths are cut by laying the pattern on the stuff, up and down and any way so that there is no waste. The third is a skirt which has after a long effort at last gained favor. This is the seven gore flare skirt. Some call it sheath. It fits the wearer closely at the top and flares widely at the bottom. This skirt can hardly be called an economical one, as the flare at the bottom takes up much cloth, even when there is no nap. To cut this skirt it is well to lay the cloth doubled on a long table and try to get two double parts out of each width of cloth. Beginning with Fig. 1, the first piece is cut from the straight double and is 10 inches 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. SKIRT PATTERNS across the top and 22 at the bottom, the flare not being quite so marked as in the other breadths. No. 2 is to be cut double, as there are two of all the breadths except the front and back. The top of this breadth is 5 inches, and at the place where the X is it measures 7 inches and dwindles to 6 inches at the place marked O. The flare then brings it to 15 inches at the bottom. No. 3 is 7 inches at the top and slopes gradually out to the bottom, where it measures 20 inches. There are two of these. No. 4 is 6 inches at the top and 24 at the bottom, with an almost imperceptible flare at the front side, about half way down. No. 5 is cut on the fold of the cloth at the back, with the bias part to be sewed to the bias of No. 4. The back breadth is 14 inches at the top and 30 at the bottom. This makes 56 inches around the top. Probably no woman measures so much around the waist, nor is it expected that this is to be the exact size, for when the lining is basted to the outside—if it is a skirt requiring lining—the breadths are basted together and put on the owner, wrong side out, and then the skirt is fitted like a waist, for it is intended that this skirt shall fit the figure closely, all except right in the center of the back, where there may be gathers or a double fold. The front breadth is allowed in the diagram wider at the top in comparison than the others for the reason that no two women are shaped exactly alike across the stomach, and this is to allow a fit to all shapes. The seams are to be taken in with pins. When the skirt has been fitted to the figure, it should be rebasted and tried on again, this time right side out, and any small imperfections rectified, after COMPLETED SKIRT. which the seams may be stitched, but there must be tapes stitched in with every seam because the bias seams would drag out of shape in no time if this were not done. It is optional whether the seams shall be pressed flat or are stitched down on each side. Each way has its devotees. The completed skirt shows how this skirt may be finished off in grass linen for summer and also any other material. Tailor suits need no trimming but fountains will be seen on all the light stuffs.

Statue of the Dead Warrior Unveiled in Washington. A DISTINGUISHED GATHERING, Including the President and Members of His Cabinet, Took Part in the Exercises—President Paid Elegent Tribute to the Dead Washington, April 10.—The heroic bronze equestrian statue of Maj. Gen. John A. Logan, which rests on an imposing bronze pedestal in Iowa Circle, was unveiled yesterday in the presence of the president, the cabinet, the widow and relatives of the gallant soldier, many of the comrades in arms and a vast multitude of people. The sculptor, Franklin Simmons, who was knighted by King Humbert of Italy as a tribute to the artistic character of the work, was also present. Master George Tucker, a grandson of the honored warrior, pulled the unveiling cord at 2:45 o'clock. The folds of the large American flag fell away and the dashing figure of "Black Jack" Logan, seated on his charger, stood revealed amid the on his charger, stood revealed amid the intersecting streets and even the president and members of the cabin. He was escorted to the statue by a military parade under command of Col. Friar Guenther, of the Fourth United States, Mrs. Mrs. John A. Logan and the other relatives sat upon a platform at the base of the monument. Mrs. Logan was escorted by Col. Maxwell Woodhull, who was Gen. Logan's adjutant general during the civil war. With her were also Thomas M. Logan, of Murphysboro, Ill., a brother of Gen. Logan; Miss M. E. Logan, a niece; S. K. Cunningham, Mrs. Logan's brother; Logan Tucker, of Chicago, a grandson, and Mrs. Tucker; Mr. and Mrs. Richard S. Tuthill, of Chicago; Mrs. George M. Pullman, of Chicago; Gen. F. A. Staring, of New York; Gen. and Mrs. Blackmar, of Boston, and the personal servant of Maj. John A. Logan, Jr., who was with the latter when he was killed in the Philippines. The president and his cabinet and other distinguished guests occupied a flag draped stand opposite this platform, while in another stand, extending around the monument, were other guests, including many of Gen. Logan's old comrades, representatives of John A. Logan Post, G. A. R., of St Louis; the Logan Republican club, of Brooklyn, and the Logan club, of Philadelphia. Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, president of the Army of the Tennessee, who is the only living general represented in the group on the bronze pedestal showing Gen. Logan in council of war with his commanding officers, presided over the ceremonies. He paid a high personal tribute to the dead chieftain, and after the invocation had been offered by Rev. Frank Bristol introduced the sculptor, Mr. Simmons, to the assemblage. The statue was then unveiled amid great applause and the Fourth Artillery band rendered "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean." At the moment of the unveiling a section of the Fourth artillery fired a national salute on the White lot, south of the executive mansion. President McKinley received an ovation as he was introduced, and it was some time before he could begin his remarks. He paid a brilliant tribute to the dead warrior, and was several times interrupted by applause, and there was a great outburst of cheering when he concluded. The oration was delivered by Senator Depew, of New York. At the conclusion of Senator Depew's address Senator Cullom, of Illinois, read a letter from Governor Yates, of Illinois, expressing regret at his inability to attend and paying tribute to the love and affection in which the memory of Logan was held in his native state. Rev. J. G. Butler, of this city, pronounced the benediction. The assemblage then dispersed. The statue of Gen. Logan has been turned over to the people of the United States, and now has become one of the great monuments of the national capital. The statue represented seven years of labor on the part of Franklin Simmons, and marks a departure in sculpture in Washington in that: it rests upon a pedestal of bronze.

New York, April 10.—Official notice of the rumored combination of department stores was given yesterday by J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., who solicit subscriptions to the stock of the Associated Merchants' company. The company is capitalized at $20,000,000, and proposes to acquire dry goods businesses or interests in this and other cities.

Cripple Creek, Colo., April 10.—The family of James Smith, including the father, mother and four children, were instantly killed in their home last night by the hiding of the huge dump of the granite mine. The Smith residence was located just below the base of the dump. The recent snows had softened the dump so that the top suddenly slid down, crushing the house and burying its inmates. Hundreds of men went to digging away the dirt and rock, but all of the victims were found crushed to death.

GHASTLY STORY OF CANNIBALISM. Terrible Tale Told by Two Survivors of the Horror. London, April 8.—The Singapore correspondent of The Daily Press wires a ghastly story of cannibalism at sea beheaded to Singapore by two survivors of the Nova Scotian bark Angola, wrecked six days' sail from Manila on Oct. 23 last. The correspondent says: "The survivors, Johnsen, a Swede, and Marticiform, a Spanish, assert that the Angola struck a reef. Two rafts were built. The smaller, bearing five men, disappeared. The other, with 12 men, drifted for 40 days. The sailors ate barnacles, sea weed and finally their boots. "On the 25th day two became insane and killed themselves. On the 26th a Frenchman killed the mate with an ax, drank his blood and tried to eat his brains, but was prevented by the others. Next day the Frenchman was killed while attempting to murder the captain. The survivors, all of whom were now insane, ate the Frenchman's body. "Cannibalism continued until only Johnnsen and Marticornu remained. On the 42d day the raft stranded on Subl or Flat island, in the Natuna group (northwest of Borneo). Johnnsen and Marticornu were awfully emaciated. Friendly Malays sent them by junk to Singapore." Almost Enormous For a Wilkesbarre, Pa., April 10.—The brotherhood employed of the Central Railroad of New Jersey held a meeting at Ashley last night. The gathering was for the purpose of learning some news from New York, but none came, and the meeting adjourned shortly after 10 o'clock. Another report is that the result of the voting on the strike question was made known at the meeting. No information was given out beyond the fact that the brotherhoods were almost unanimous for a strike. REC PLANET DREAM MEMORIES I could not catch my dream, it was so fleet: Only a fragment, yet enough to know That there are times when earth and heaven meet; Moments when all of heaven seems below. o. golden sunsets of the vanished years. O. radiant flashes of the coming dawn. We show us oft, through mists of blinding tears. I tried in vain to span, to catch, to clasp that overflowing rapture of delight. But while it located from my grasp And left me in the darkness of the night. I cannot paint my dream; it was so bright. So fraught with dazzling radiance to me It threw a glamour oer my 'wildered sight And left me blinded by my ecstasy. My singing soul essayed in vain to soar Beyond the shining path of sun and stars. But all too soon she languished as before, Panting and worn, behind her prison bars. I cannot tell my dream; it was so sweet; And yet 'twas such as many hearts have known; Woven with tender memories replete With words of love, dropped in the years igne. I fond caress—a dear, familiar tome; A gentle whisper and a low reply; It was but these, yet are not these alone The all of love and life that never die? Chicago Evening Post. SAY, Pete," said the city editor to the horse editor, who was engaged in writing a feature story to be headed "Good Things I Have Got That Are Still Running," "you're the only man I've got handy, and I forgot to assign a man to cover that big wedding up at the Umpiethi Street church to-night—you know, that good-looking Bigcoin girl and young Mutthead. Suppose you run up there and get the story. Want a spread—two columns at least. Never mind names—I've got all the names we'll use, and the names of the bridesmaids, and the groommen, and the society editor wrote the descriptions of the costumes before she took sick. Just you cover the weeps and the soft, low music, and the bride's pallor, and the perfume of the exotics, and that sort of thing. You know the kind of story I want, Pete." "Say, scratch me out o' this, won't you?" said the horse editor. "I'm not trained for that kind of a sprint. It's to 1 that I'll quit in the stretch." "Can't help it, Pete—got nobody else to send. Go along, now, and turn the copy in early," said the city editor. The horse editor went after the story of the wedding with an open mind, and here is a portion thereof as he turned it in to the copy reader: "The thoroughbreds had another naming at the Umpieti Street church last night, when Miss Bertha Bigcoin and Mr. Willie Mutthead, both of them well known to students of form in these parts, hooked it up in a try for the matrimonial stakes. Talk of this match had been in the air for some time, so that when the bars were let down at half-past seven o'clock last evening a large number of the talent of both sexes were on hand to size up the contenders and speculate upon what the future holds in store for this pair of high-class thoroughbreds. Many of those who presented themselves at the gate had never seen the contestants before, and not a few of them were minus admission badges, at that, but the crush was so great that within 20 minutes after the turnstile began to revolve the ushers were compelled to throw open a free field in the left-hand side of the church for those who would not be denied the opportunity to see the running off of the match. "The track was soft and holding, a lot of rag carpet having been spread along the middle aisle to offset the natural slipperiness of the course, and there was also a top dressing of flowers spread along the path by little girls togged out in white. Festoons of flowers were milled all over the sides of the grand stand, and the whole outfit looked in perfect condition for the running off of the swagger event, every seat below and aloft was taken, and it was one of the biggest bumper crowds that ever turned out in this vicinity to see a similar event decided. "Before the pair entered in the match came out of the paddock the band up in the gallery played a lot of tremble, fluffy stuff, which visibly increased the ardor of the crowd to have the two entries arrive at the post. The event was carded to come off at eight o'clock sharp, but the pair of thorughbirds hadn't arrived at the post at a quarter-past eight, and it began to look like an even money shot that the match wouldn't come off. Outside the church bets were freely offered that Mr. Mutthead had bowed a tendon or gone amiss in some way, so that it would be impossible for him to face the starter, and the disappointment of the spectators when half-past eight rolled around, and still no response to the call to the post, was manifest in every countenance. "At 25 minutes of nine, however, the anxious waiters in the seats were rewarded by seeing the two entries enter the gate. The bride, who was led by old man Bigoino who looked as if he'd be able to pick up third money occasionally in the hunter class, if he was pointed that way—appeared, to the critical eye, to be overline, and there was some desired comment on the subject of the hard workouts this class of thoroughbreds are put through before they respond to the call of the bugle in match events of this character. A description of the bride's colors is given in another portion of this account. Notwithstanding her evident overtraining, she looked fit to run the race of her life. As for the other contestant, he didn't look to be up to a bruising finish. "He seemed to the critical eye to be decidedly high in flesh, and it looked to be a safe three to one proposition that he wouldn't last the route. He was nervous and fidgety on the way to the post and didn't appear to know exactly what was expected of him, which, however, was natural enough, considering that he had never before faced the starter. It was said, nevertheless, that he had been trained at the barrier on several occasions during the week, which renders it difficult to account for the evident reluctance with which he pranced up to the starting post. We wore blinkers in the shape of a pair of large gold-rimmed spectacles. It may be that the music of the band situated aloft had something to do with the nervousness of the two starters, for it was a foolish kind of music, somewhat frivolously called the 'Long Green Chorus.' It sounded pretty dismal for music that possesses a name connecting it with the good old dough of the realm. "Every eye was strained to observe the parade to the post, and sundry and divers whispered opinions were expressed as to the respective merits of the all-black and the all-white entries. The excitement of the occasion was so intense that several elderly females were observed and heard to weep as if the one they'd already put their checks on had finished back in the bunch, among the also rans. "The starter and his assistants were at the post when the two entries and their handlers came up on the rail. Then ensued the usual skirmishing for position, the groom showing a reluctance to break at the fall of the flag, owing, no doubt, to the nervousness he felt. They were pulled up several times and ranged in front of the barrier by the starter, who had considerable difficulty, even if the field was small, owing to the evident lack of knowledge on the part of the all-black entry as to what disposition he should make of his feet. The all-black went almost to his knees several times in the line-up, but finally the flag fell to a ragged start, with the all-white a good two lengths in front. "The all-white was evidently out with the intention of making a runaway race of it, and she answered every question asked of her with determination and gameness. She was still away in the lead going along the back stretch, the all-black appearing to sulk. Rounding the far turn, however, he began to respond cleverly to the questions asked of him, and, slowly, but surely, he overhauled the lead. BEFORE THE PAIR ENTERED IN THE MATCH. er. Rounding into the stretch it was neck and neck, with the all-white showing, evidence of stopping, and when the great question: 'Will you?' was about to be puf it was clearly seen by the spectators that the overtraining of the all-white was liable to tell on her, while the superior bone and sinew of the all-black looked as if it was going to carry him under the wire a winner. The critical moment arrived, and when the great question was asked the all-black assumed command and took the lead by replying in a voice that came near curling up the rug carpet in the center of the course: 'I will!' At this point it looked as if the all-black would surely romp home all alone and win in a canter, but, to the surprise of the talent, the all-white responded game and true to the nudges she got, and when it came time for her to declare herself she replied in a tone as firm, if not as resonant, as that in which the all-black had made his bid for the big end of the purse, and from then on it was a ding-dong finish right to the wire. As they passed under the wire nose and nose, the judges couldn't separate them, and thus one of the swaggerest events that has been run off in this neck o' the woods since Hickory Jim was a two-year-old was declared a dead heat and the purse was divided."—Washington Star. Not So Bad. "Norah, will you marry me whin I come back from the war?" demanded Mr. Herlihy of his sweetheart. "Well, that's not so bad," said Mr Herlihy, after a moment's reflection.

MISS DELLA JONES of Calvert, Texas Those who are losing their hair or have parted with their locks can have it restored by a remedy that is sent free to all. A Cincinnati firm has concluded that the best way to convince people that hair can be grown on any head is to let them try it, and see for themselves. All sorts of theories have been advanced to account for falling hair, but after all it is the remedy we are after and not the theory. People who need more hair, or are anxious to save what they have, or from sickness, dandruff or other causes have lost their hair should at once send their names addressed to the Abandoned Medical Disaster 2777 and holding Cincinnati. Often, enclosing 2 boxes stamp to cover postage, and they will forward prepared by mail, a sufficient free trial package of their remedy to fully prove a remarkable action in quickly removing all trace of dandruff and scalp disease and forcing a new growth of hair. The remedy is not a new experiment and no one need fear that it is harmful. It cured John Bruner, Postmaster of Milwaukee, Henry Co. Ind., and he strongly urges every one to try it. A Methodist presacher, Victor A. Feigaux of Tracey City, Tenn., was perfectly bald on his forehead for many years but has now a fine growth. Mrs. C. W. Gostleman 848 Main St., Riverside Cal., reports her husband's shiny head now covered with sort, fine hair and she has a derived wonderful b-neffel. The remedy is the wife of Geo. Dietenbach, General Agent of the Big Four R. R. of Dayton, O., who was entirely cured of baldness. The President of Fairmount College, Sulphur, Ky., Prof. B. F.

Used a Free Trial Package of a Remedy and the Result Was Wonderful. Nothing can be more unfortunate to a lady than to lose her hair. To see it grandly getting thinner and thinner and the day by day is apt to cause melan enolly and be a cause of taking cold and serious sickness. Miss Delia Jones prominent in Calvert. Tex. colored society was having serious trouble with her hair but fortunately saw the notice of of the celebrated Foso treatment. She sent for a free trial package and says: "It affords me the greatest pleasure to say that ev-rything regarding the treatment is just as represented. I had no wish in it and since it costs nothing to try I used it and since it saved and restored to its original growth. Am very much pleased to recommend such a valuable and ren arksable treatment. The remedy also cures itching and dardruff sure signs of approaching baldness and keeps the scalp healthy and vigorous. It also restores gray hair to natural color and produces thick and lustrous eyebrows and eyelashes.

Can be consulted upon all affairs of life, business, love and marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all troubles and estrangements, challenges any Medium who can exceed her in startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember she will not for any reason matter you; you may not commend her gain facts without nonsense, but she be constated upon all affairs of Life, Love, Disobedience. Marriage Friends ets, with description of future com companion. She is very accurate in decribing missing friends in a business, law suits jurneys, const ed wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny--good or bad; she withhold nothing MRS. MARTH tells your entire life past, present and future in a DEAD TRANCE, has the power of any two Mediums you ever met. In tests she tells your mother's full name before marriage, the names of all your family their ages and description, the name and business of your present husband the name of your next if you are to have one, the name of the young man who now calls on you, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your marriage, how many children you have or will have; whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart she will tell you have no wife and his name, business and business. All your future will be told in an easy and plain manner and in a dead trance. Mother's should know the success of their husbands and children young ladies should know everything about the sweethearts or intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all, do not let silly religion seruples prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a Medium, but such beliefs are contrary to the truth. It is only from the lack of discrimination that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not every one who placards himself or herself as a medium that can stand a test of what he or she almae. And a person of an enquiring mind may ask the reason why. It is simply it these advisers do not take the able to study hun an nature. They do not spend their thoughts for a moment with acquiring the art of phaseology and kindred branches that will have a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of all obstacles. It is an undeniable fact that persons will come for advice in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their minds what they know so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out or a position (Custodian) is the art used by many unprinciped mediums, but to take hold on the head and gain control of the mind thereby is a matter of impossibility to most of them. And yet this can be done and by consulting Mrs. Marth the seeming mystery becomes a realization. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it proves conclusively that although there are infringers in the mates with oily tongues perhaps the gates of wisdom have not been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become an accomplished medium and by a continuous and untiring effort, the key to the well of apparently unfathom able mysteries has been secured by MRS. MARTH for the benefit of humanity. ADVICE BY LETTER, $1.00 HOURS FROM 10 A. M., TO 9 P. M. MRS. M. B. MARIH Virginia Union University Wayland College. Richmond Theological Seminary.

Oh, day when Easter illites blow, And Easter bells are ringing; When the sun's glories face glow, And lips break into singing, Oh, in my heart may blossoms sweet, Spring up in fadeless glory, And I am in joy in repeat Glad resurrection in story. <Anna R. Henderson, in Ladies' World, New York. THE EASTER JOY. Message of the Risen Christ Dispels the Shadows of Earth's Ringing with all the old sweetness in their tuneful chimes, the bells from a hundred thousand steepleas again proclaim that the Lord has risen. Not only in Christian Europe and America, but far across the seas, in the ancient strongholds of pagan superstition, the blessed music wakens with the dawn of the Easter day, and there is light on dusky faces, and joy in narrow lives, and the Idols are tottering, and on the night of heathen superstition shines the morning star of the coming king-dom. The very word Easter thrills the heart with gladness, bringing its welcome announcement that the gloom is past, and the time of bud and blossom, leaf and spray, glancing wing and sudden song, floating cloud and prismatic shower, the time of affluence and beauty and growing, and rapture of high vitality in plant and human life alike—that wondrous time has come again. And with the spring thought at Easter, what more natural, what more helpful and inspiring, than to take our thought back along the ages until we pause at the garden, and behold our Lord victor over death, stepping forth among the lilies which swing their censers as if to scatter incense in his path? Easter is a season of joy. Yet there are those who make a positive religion of grief, and like Rachel refuse to be comforted, while they wrap their mourning weeds about them with an air of virtuous pride. To such the Easter music, the Easter bloom, the Easter gladness are so much mockery. They coldly decline to be soothed, and sit stilyly silent beside the sepulcher of their buried joys. These are indeed to be pitied; for, if it needs must be that the severity of love shall visit them till the granite melts, there is much suffering in store for them. But there are those others who have learned the hard lesson, who have bowed again and again under the shadow, but who have seen through all the Sun of Righteousness and his glad beams. To these Easter furnishes not alone a blessed vision, but it is itself a blessed fact. Therefore now at Easter let us take account of our mercies and claim our share in the common Easter joy. Better a happy home than a splendid mausoleum, and patience with the erring than a burden of remorse when the erring has been driven into the blackness of darkness by unwise anger. Better daily walking with God and daily charity than the cypress and the vine because of sinful indulgence or wicked enmity. Then let Easter do its perfect work for us all as we lift our eyes heavenward to Him who ever maketh intercession for us and who is alive for evermore. —Christian Work. RAYS OF SUNLIGHT. The Chrissian life is one of faith, hope, love, obedience—the life of God in the soul of man. We are born into that life by a determination to obey God and do His will. We grow up by daily obedience, daily trust, daily prayer.—James Freeman Clarke. The universal love and the spirit of joyful service toward all is the strongest and hottest tie thou canst have with thy friend, and begets the deepest satisfaction. . . . I come unto my friend as to a shrine, and my friend unto me.—Trinities and Sanctities. Now next after this heavenly peace with God and our own consciences we are carefully to provide for peace with all men what in us lieth, especially with our associates, and that watchfulness must be bead that we neither at all in ourselves do give, no, nor easily take offense being given by others.—John Robinson. A Door of Hope. Bravely and happily let us walk through this dark valley; for though the rocks overshadow and the phantom haunts it, at the end of it is a door of hope—a door of immortality that opens on the gardens of heaven and the trees and streams of life. * * This is the Christian's hope, and truly herein Christ maketh us "more than conquerors" for we not only triumph over this essay, our promise by him, wringing out of His curse a blessing, out of His prison a coronation and a home—Canon Farrar. A LOVING GOD. It Is Difficult to Be an Athelat at All Times and Under All Circumstances. Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you.-St. James, 6.8. A friend of mine who was at once a scholar and an atheist, and who criticised with more frankness than good taste our common faith, once found himself in the the presence of imminent danger. Almost certain death stared him in the face and escape seemed impossible. Oddly enough, in that supreme moment he cried out: "God help me!" I wondered at the expression coming from such lips. The words were clearly uttered as a supplication, and hence my surprise, since he denied the existence of the very Being whose help he supplicated. He found it impossible to live up to his creed, and I rejoiced that it was so. I thought then and have thought ever since that whatever a man's logic may lead him to declare his soul instinctively turns to God in both great joy and great sorrow. We may blindfold ourselves by a process of reasoning and assert that God is not visible, just as we may bandage our eyes and insist that the grass is not green nor the sky blue. The eyes when free to act will take in the beauty of the landscape, and the soul when in its normal condition will search for God until it finds Him. It is not enough, however, to tell me that this world is not the result of chance, but that behind the thing created stands the Creator. At this point my intellectual curiosity is excited, but my heart is quite untouched. I am conscious that there is infinite power somewhere, everywhere, and immediately I become afraid of it. I can crush or it can protect me. I try, therefore, to win its good will and so offer in sacrifice a lamb or even a human life. I have a very poor sort of religion, the religion of fear. I am not drawn to this all powerful Being, and I can ask nothing better than to be left to myself, for the further away I am from Him the more secure I feel. I do not quite know why I am here, nor whither I am going. I only know that I myself and the world in which I live are equal mysteries, and I can solve them no more than the fly on the cathedral window pane can understand the architecture of the building. I grope without a clew to guide me. Even then life is very desirable. The fields blossom in beauty, the sky is full of blazing stars, the roaring streams make music and furnish us with food, and the shadowy foresta are a temple, in which the soul tries to worship. There is the domestic circle to call out the nobler affections, there are griefs which make us wonder at the meaning of it all, and a thousand and one experiences which charm, delight and cheer. Still we are unsatisfied and long for more. That there is a God is an intensely interesting fact, but if that is all we can know and rely upon, our knowledge is of little value. We ask with a pathos which brings tremulous tears to our eyes: What relation exists between this infinite Being and ourselves? Does He see us and care for us, or is He content with His own omnipotence, while we, poor creatures of an hour, come into the sunlight and then go hence into the darkness? Upon the answer to that question rests the progress of the ages, all morality, all inspiration, all self-sacrifice, all religion that is worth the name. Tell me of infinite power, and I am afraid. Tell me of infinite wisdom, and I follow the footsteps of Deity through the ages with increasing awe. But I am not yet a religious being. I know not what to do with my life, what use to make of its joys, sorrows and struggles. I am an arrested development, acting blindly, without distinct purpose or aim. I am chilled, frozen, a creature of impulse, caprice, passion. But assure me that this God is my Father, and would have me live with Him; that I can call and He will answer, and will send heavenly messengers to my relief; that sterling honesty, even though it costs a great sacrifice, is worth the utmost effort; that I must love others, even my enemies, as He has loved me; that this poor life is but the short preface to the open book of the future, and under the influence of that revelation I am transformed. The clouds part, the glorious ripening sunshine floods my heart and my years. That He and I are closely related, that everything that comes, whether it brings a smile or a tear, contributes to a well rounded and perfect character, and that some day I shall go home, to be greeted by those who have disappeared in the mists—all this constitutes a religion which ennobles and dignifies and develops the soul. We can bear all things and still be of good cheer. The day's work may be hard, but we shall rest at the setting of the sun. With such a belief and with Heaven in the near distance, we can be brave and patient, for what we suffer now is as nothing to the oy which will result from work done. George H. Hepworth, in N. Y. Herald. Folly of Triangles Folly of Trifling with Trifles. Trifles are trifles only to triflers. To the thoughtful they are symptoms of peril, signs of hope, opportunities of love. To ignore trifles is to be ignorant of the spot where decisions are made and destinies determined. Railroads figure, not on dollars and cents, but on fractions of mills; and we have discovered of late that God plows and harrows His fields with earthworms, and puts the burden of His creation on beasts that can swarm through the eye of the needle. Awake to the significance of the insignificant! for you are in a world that belongs, not alone to the God of the infinite, but to the God of the infinitesimal.—S. S. Times. Japan has of late years greatly increased her cavalry and still more recently added nearly 40 field batteries to her artillery, and as the country itself produces practically no horses suitable for this purpose the necessity for importing them is urgent. RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. THE SANDWICH KING. That's What His Friends Call Elme Pfeifer, Who Ate 24 Sandwiches in Just 48 Minutes. Elmer Pfeifer, of Arcola, Ill., who a few days ago accomplished the almost impossible feat of devouring 24 ham sandwiches in exactly 48 minutes, thereby winning a wager, with side bets, amounting to $75 and establishing a record which is probably a world beater, is in all other respects an ordinary young man of medium physique, is possessed of a bright intellect and temperate habits. He has long borne the reputation of being possessed of a splendid appetite, but even his closest friends feared for his chances of winning at such odds in the above contest. Mr. Pfeifer, in the presence of a Mr. Pfeifer, in the presence of a number of his acquaintances, made OPENING OF THE SHOW. the remark more in fun than in earnest that he could eat two dozen ham sandwiches in an hour. A traveling salesman who happened to overhear the offer remarked that he would take $25 worth of a bet of that character. Pfeifer immediately accepted the wager and covered a number of side bets sufficient to swell the amount to $75. He then entered a cafe and ordered the required number of sandwiches, and with an air of confidence began to dispose of the big task before him. The first dozen were consumed as if they were mere cream puffs inflated with wind. After this Pfeifer ate with a little less relish, but one by one they disappeared until the last of the 24 had been consumed. In accomplishing the feat Pfeifer used three ordinary table jars of mustard and drank seven large glasses of water. When the last sandwich had been eaten and young Pfeifer had arisen from his seat the timekeeper announced that he had occupied exactly 48 minutes and won. Pfeifer claims that he felt no ill effects of his meal and was to all appearances as free from physical pain as were any of the people who watched his performance. WHIPPED SEVEN BOYS. Plucky Buckeye Girl Received Praise from the Magistrate Instead of a Punishment. On one day last week seven of the largest boys in the "White Grocery" school at Akron, O., were soundly thrashed by Miss Minnie Hoff, a pretty brown-haired girl who was acting as schoolma'am in the district. When she accepted the position as teacher she found the classes sadly disorganized and discipline was at a low ebb. First she tried to bring the boys to her way of thinking by treating them kindly. This did not have the effect she anticipated. The boys took the favors extended as an indication that they could do as they pleased. On Friday week they discovered the error of their ways. Miss"Hoff opened the school with a direct notice to the bad boys in the front row that she would trounce the first that violated any of A boy is sitting on a desk, looking down at a book. A girl is standing behind him, holding a pencil and writing on the desk. MADE GOOD HER WARNING. the rules and regulations governing the institution. It was only a few minutes before she was called upon to make good her warning. She performed the task in a way that left no doubt in the minds of those who witnessed the episode that she was equal to the occasion. During the day six others were called forward and trimmed in the most approved fashion. The parents of Rufus Wright, one of the boys, had Miss Hoff arrested on a charge of assault and battery. She was in the police court the next morning to answer to the charge. Practically all of Springfield township was with her After hearing the story of the trouble the court, attorneys for the prosecution and spectators agreed that Miss Hoff was justified, and that she was the right woman in the right place. "The only thing she is to be censured for is that she did not lick more of them, and oftener," said the court, in dismissing the case. Nestor of Postmasters. The oldest postmaster in the United States is Roswell Bardsley, of North Lansing, N. Y. He has been postmaster since 1828, a period of 72 years. His age is 91. Where Milk Is Banned Chinese law and custom forbid the drinking of cow's milk. Man should not rob animals of their own proper food, and of all animals the cow is the most valuable to man. The sellers of milk blacken their souls for gain, but those who drink milk, do so in the foolish belief that it is good for them. Milk is the natural food of babies and of young animals, but when adults drink it do they not thereby endanger the ife of the suckling calf and arouse bitter resentment in the souls of the calf and its mother?—Loo Chow Herald. Loans Upon Honor. One of the most remarkable loan associations in the world is that founded by Mme. Jeanne Robin in the suburbs of Paris. Its object is to assist needy artists and writers by small loans of from five to twenty francs. Neither security nor interest is required, nor is any time of payment specified. In this paradise of the impecunious author the borrower simply signs the following paper: "I pledge my honor that I will pay back the sum of — francs." It is said that they who do not finally pay are very few.—N. Y. Herald. More Presidents Than Kings. There are over 60 "rulers" in the world, and it is surprising to find that the presidents outnumber the kings. There are 24 presidents, and only 20 kings. But the balance is more than made straight by the emperors, sultans, milkados, rajahs, khedives, ameers and other potentates who prefer their special title to that of king. Only one reigning monarch of the world, if we except her most important majesty of China, is a woman. This is Queen Wilhelmina. St. James Gazette. Hard Luck.

He not only had the capacity fo- pro- ducing great thought; be was a great reasober—he could bandie in a skillfal and logical way the productions ot his thinking powers without having stud- fed logic in the schools, he seems by nature to have understood to perfec- tion the different styles of reasoning And as for his memory, there was no oud to it; it seemed to'me. All that he ever read, seen, beard of or thought of was his in memory. Tedid eeem to me sometimes that Rev. Jasper came into the werld with Bible in his heart, head and tongue, Ia detail, he could recount step by step the history of Richmond, the churches and the Baptists of Virginia from ss far back as sixty years. He could give the bistory of the city reaching back teventy veers. A most wonderful memory kad he! It ever there lived in this world an hon- est man father Jasper was one. He was earnest in friendship and in esteem for ou. He meant all he tavght as to the Bibie or anything else; tailing off of unfaithfal friends, actions of Baptist associations, conventions or councils could never turn Bro.

He was plain, unvarnished and sim- ple in his greatness. There was never jen «ffort, at bombast, trickery and sophistry; what he was he wae,—just God’s plain Rev.
