.“AVelcomc, su-cet dtiy of rest,That hiiw the Loril tirl.se;

Woleomo to UiIh revivingUio.im',And IhOHu .rejolijlngcycs!"

'■.' •With these words Bishop FitzGerald opened the morning services on'Sun- day Iast. And remarked as ho an­nounced the hymn, “I do not suppose

‘ I am alone in'the feeling of happiness with which I welcome, this hallowed day of; rest and consecrated service .to the Master.’' The Bishop was notalono, nearly every one felt the peaceful seren­ity of the Sabbath by the sea. •

Again the Temple was crowded be­yond its capacity at tho Young People’s Meeting and many were compelled lo stand upon the pavement and listen at the windows, catching so much of the service, as theycould.

.Mr.’, W, S. Weeden, oi New York, sang.a beautiful solo entitled, “Could’sf not Thou Watch1 One Hour?” and' Dr. Nice, of the Salvation Army, played a violin solo, the sweet, solemn hymn, “Almost Persuuded.” The subject of Mr. Yatman's address was, "necessity the mother of invention." He told how- the neods.of man were always met by. the workings of divine Providence and predicted that the ever increasing at­tendance of the Young People’s Meet­ings would soon necessitate the build­ing of a Temple with a greater seating capacity. He believed that when the

'.proper time came some generous.per­son or persons would bo found who would build tlie needed building.

The Holiness Meeting was conducted as, usual in Bishop Janes’ Memorial Tabernacle under the leadership of Rev. J. R. Daniels. The service was devoted largely to the interesting ex­periences of workers in foreign coun­tries, and there were several appeals made' for more vigorous work in the home field. Short recitations of mis­sionary experiences were given by Rev. Dr/ Oldham, formally of India, Mrs. Mary Lattlmer, Mrs. Osborne, and others. V; */ . • . ...

More than six thousand persons as­sembled . ia' the Auditorium at the morning services, at which Bishop Fitz­Gerald presided. Prof. ,7. R. Sweney Jed the usual praise service. The open­ing prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Adam Wallace, Rev. Dr. W. C. Robin­son read the first lesson from the Scrip­tures selecting tho 100 Psalm and the second lesson I. Romans X.. was read by Rev. W. T. Oldham, D. D., formally of India, now professor at Wesleyan University,'who later preached the an­niversary sermon. His theme was the poverty . of an unredeemed Soul. “ I think,” said Dr. Oldham in opaning his remarks, ‘‘that our day is marked by a growing spirit of Christian phllan- throphy which prompts the Christian people to go about doing good.

“Let me speak to you about poverty, of the poverty of the lost soul, of the non-believer. What is poverty? The term is a comparative one,- but what do you know of it? What do you know of poverty, you. have never gone hun­gry; unless it was by some accident,, when you went fishing and were be­calmed and then only for. a few hours,

. and you made amends for it when you returned home; biit you’ve never known what it was to • rpally 'suffer for the want of food.. •'/ Y. / . t*.

What do you know of poverty? •You’ve never gone to bed cold and scarcely half clothed; unless perhaps .the heaters or plumbing was out of order and then it was but for one night and on the morrow you stormed at the plumber and repairs were made; but you.have never known what it was to go to bed night after night cold and hungry ‘ and not. knowing . whore you would, rest your head the next night.

America knows nothing of poverty— It’s past campaign time and a man can tell the truth. The poverty of America is connected inseparably, with America’s vice. Nine-tenths of it is due to the saloon and if thrift were taught to the house-wife I believe you would control, the remaining tenth. Abolish the American saloon and you will.abolish the only poverty America’ knows.

The greatest pride of America Is the position occupied by her- women. Poverty Is ever hard to bear; bu tits burden falls-heaviest upon the woman, and especially upon the woman of the Chris Hess JSast. Woman is woman all the world over, she will deny herself and feed her husband and child.-“Christianity, alone,” said the Doc­

tor, “is relieving the condition of the ..woman of the East. Buddhism has in­vented nothing , in a thousand years and Molinmmedism has frozen every thing it has touched for centuries. And- poverty is an ever presont factor In the lives of the people of tiie great East.

“In eyorj' day life, I am not speaking of famine time, a woman in India spends but 72V£ cents a year forclothes.

. Why doa’t she spend 73? She probably would, for women are women all the world over, but she has but 72M-.. In famine time $1.00 w ill‘keep a person a month while you in your expensive civilization spend that much for a meal.

• In tiie. Christian civilized western world poverty is a coriiparative term. In the Chrlstlcss Eristjt is an absolute

• one. . '•/’• •/'Tlie woman of the East suffers most, unwelcomed in birth, unhonored in life. She marries at an ago from 9 to 13 years; seldom is it that a high caste woman is not married before she

The sermon was ;deliyered . by ; Rev. Dr.’ • Munhall, i of; Pliilaclelphia ’; whose subject was tlie truth in the Blbl.O,:and 'liis text was taken froni Psalm 138.;'2

“For Thoii iiast magnifled Thy word above all Thy name.” < pr; Munlmir said in part as foilowsV ;“Man’s .iiame is what his reputation makes, it, but. man’s- worth makes . his reputation.- ;The nariie o f.

Dr. Munhall then discussed the recent controversy of the miracle of Jonah and the whale. Scientists and so-called ; higher critics .state ythat ,the > whale's throatUs so shiall; asVt’6 :beyuriablo;.«to‘ swallow a! man.' ;Biit . recently, iri Nova Scotia i saw a. whale which- could easily have swallowed a man' on horse­back, horse, and ail and not/ winked in the operation. The Mediteranean- soil contains monsters capable of swallowing.a trolley car. I once saw one of those monsters, possibly the same one Jonah knew, for, when he rose with his great mouth open he saw me and evidently mistook me

/ for/ a not lier Jonah, f o r-hov turned tall, arid : fled. He hadyevideritiy;snfilclent experience .with evangelists;. - But. ' the Bible; ih the orijgirial /does not say that Jonah was swallowed by.a whale. The fault; lies in. Imperfect:translation.

Not Two Standards

The mistake-Often made Is that there are two standards of .piety, of cdnser* cratlon to Christ and. devotion to. His kingdoni—one for the pulpit and the: other for the pew. in God’s eye there Is but one standard for pulpit and pew. The pew needs.to lift high the stand-; ard of integrity and self-denying as the pulpit. We cannot lift too high the' standard of Integrity and honor and holiness for tlie men who tire to be teachers and patterns of righteousness. The preacher in the highest sense Is God’s man, the bond servant*of Jesus Christ, separated unto the Gospel of •God.—“Lutheran Evangelist.” *

The; Greatest, of all Problems,

“ If a; mail die shalI lie live;again?” •;■ This question was asked by good old j

Job In his day,' and from a human standpoint remains unanswered,; In a : lltorarsense. even up to this time. H j

ORATORIO OF E L IJA H .

Mendelssohn's Masterpiece Rendered Un--' der the; Direction of Dr. Damrosch, . .

by Celebrated Soloists, an Im- / mense Chorus, ^irid'Sym-

phony * Orchbstra.

Friday evening last marked mil only.' the closing of the Summer School of Theology, but the climax of Its musical.: festival,. The superb rond It ion of/; .Mfcndlessohn’.s masterpiece oratorio'

“Elijah,” was a fitting tlnalo to the ses- . slons*of real merit of the Summer' School aiid its concerts of rare musical wbrtiiV.. • .. .•■’•/■ . . . ;.

For wbekS'. ytli.fi/ festival* chorus o f.; moro than/100'.voices had been .trained under tho capaiiie teachingof Professor Tali Morgan, every note of the oratorio was • rehearsed/' until they closely, ap­proached perfection!- .The, Auditorium vvaS well fllJed with an appreciative audience of- nearly 7,000. music loving ; people. Upon the platform wero seated .. •sixty members of the New York ; Symphony Orchestra, back of whom ' was seated the festival chorus,’ of 400 / .voices upon the tiers of an Imiriense . stand which rose one above another. ; The soloists were/ seated in tho front: of the platform and were; Miss Char­lotte Mticonda, soprano; Mrs. Josephine Jacoby! contralto; ‘ William ' Clark, ' tenor .and J. C. "Dempsey, bass; , of the .first quartette, and Miss Emil Ie Green-Y halgh, soprano; Miss Anna L. Johnson, contralto: \VY O: Weeden,. tenor, and ; jj. HoOrrner, bass, of tiie second quar­tette. Each soloist was tin artist of- more "or less ability .and they were warriily received by the audience who evinced their keen appreciation In the meritorious work, .especially that of : Mrs. Jacoby and Mr. Dempsey.

Shortly after 8 o’clock Dr.* Walter Dnmrosh, wlio conducted the music, raisetl hls baton and the first notes of the grand oratorio were sounded. Mr. John C. Dempsey, whose voice, a bass- barltone, Is rich, pure and sympathetic,' sarig the title role of Elijah. Mr. Demp­sey brought out all the beauties of the music of his part, and at all times ■ maintained the dignity of the prophet. Mrs. Josephine S. Jacoby, who sang the contralto role of the “angel,” charmed her audience with her first noto and held them as If in a speU dur- ing the entire evening. Her voice; is rich and resonant and shows the resiilt of careful training. The soprano, role of the “Widow” was sung by Miss Charlotto-Maconda, an oratorio soloist of considerable repute, who proved ; eminently fitted for the ; role. The tenor role of Obadlah was supg by Mr;./ William. Clark,..who handled his work ; with remarkable ability.

The chorus, who had spent several weeks under the tuition of Professor Tali Morgan, showed tho result Of thorough practice and were in overy way a most creditable testimonial to the-teaching of Professor Morgan. So carefully had they been trained that their clear, rich notes moved and sway­ed in .perfect harmohy with the baton of Mr. Damrosh.

Of the orchestra nothing need Ih?Y said save that. It was the New. York Symphony and that name is synony- ; motis with, perfection.

. Hoiisc Built to IJar Out Microbcs.One of .the oddest domiciles on

earth Is that recently erected at Yoko­hama by Dr. W. Van tier Heyden, the n^tcd bacteriologist of Utrecht and Japan. The doctor’s house' IS. a dust- proof, alr-proofi microbe-proof building of glass; Jt' stands on llie open- un- fihadefl; grounds of’-the.hospitalv.Of Yo- 'koliama. The house is 41 feet long,. 23 wide.and. 17 feet high. Large paries of glass, one-half Inch thick and about four inches apart, are set in iron frames so as .to form the sides , of a cellular building block. Of these blocks the. walls are. constructed. There.are iio, window sashes, the a ir escapes through several, small openings aro.und the upper part of the second story, but through which no air from the outside Is admitted. The air supply is obtained froni a considerable distance, forced through;a pipe and carefully filtered through cotton .wool to cleanse it of bacteria. To Insure further steriliza­tion the air is driven against a glycer­ine-coated plate of , glass, \vhieh cap­tures all the microbes the .wool spares. The few microbes brought into: the house in the, clothes of the visitors soon die in the warm, sunlight with w'hlch .the house is flooded. The space between the glasses, of the building blocks is filled with a solution of salts, which absorbes the heat of the Bun, so Lhat the rooms of this house, are much cooler than, those protected by the thickest shades. In the evening the interior Is heated by the salts radiating the heat they have absorbed during the day. So effective is the system of reg­ulating the :temperature that a few, hours of sunlight, even Iti freezing weather,; render the house habitable.' It is oniy when several cloudy days follow in succession that artificial heat Is needed. Then it is supplied by pump­ing' in . hot air. Dr. Van. dor Heyden thinks he has solved, the problem of a complete germ ici de on , &• big: scale. ■’>'

happy privilege to bear that brilliant preacher; Thomas Guard. He Was then pastor of tlie Mount Vernon M. E. Church, Baltimore. It is needless to say Uie sermon delivered from the capacious platform of the former Au­ditorium was.masterly ln'every par­ticular.. The text. Itself was inspiring: “Thanks be unto God for His Unspeak­able .Gift.” .The theme harmonized splendidly with his viyld .imagination, gl.ow’ing diction and burning. eloQUence.

Place—Land of Israel In PaleaUne. Time—918 years B. C., or about 2,81 fi

years ago;

Introduction.- Solomon 'was the last king- of united Israel, and because of. his idol

. worship sliis tlib kingdom was divided. Ton of the tribes .rebelled against the harsh rule of Rehoboam, Solomon’s son, and made Jeroboam, the "mighty man of valour/" (1 king 11:2$) their king, which left only, two of the tribes to Itehoboam, called tho '‘kingdom of Judah,*' whilo' Jeroboam’s was known as the.“Kingdom of Israel.”

*. Joroboam, like a great many other rulers, after getting into power, at

, once planned to retain that power. He /reasoned that if.Uve people of his king

dom followed tho usual custom of go­ing up into Jerusalem to worship, there waa a possible chance of their being won hack to ' the v kingdom of Judah, and to prevent this he resolved

. to keep, the people in their own terri­tory. He therefore made two calves

; of gold arid said to his people: “ It is too much for you to go up to'Je'rrfaa- lem; behold thy gods, 0 Israel,' which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt/’ He. chose low and wicked

• men for Ills-priests and forbade tlie priests' of the Lord to offer sacrifice' In all the land'.' "• • • /

Jeroboam reigned twenty-two .ycaref, and Nadab, his son, took the throne. (964 B. C.). The worship of the golden calves was continued and. the people wondered still further away from their (Jod. He,bad been king only two years when a man named Baasha rebelled against tho king and Nadab was killed* To make certain that none of the house of Jeroboam would take the throne away from him, Baasha destroyed every member of that family. Baasharelgned twenty-four years, and during, all of

.. .that time , the worship of the golden calves went right on, despite tho warn­ings of tho prophets of the Lord.

El ah, Baaslm’s . son,- was'then made• king, and ho reigned only, two years.

While drunk in the house of ills chief servant, one .Ziriirl, “Captain .of half of hls chariots,” entered and murdered

./the/druriken king', and; TAm r i,doclar.ed. himself to be the king of Israel.. At this

time. the., ’.men- of Israel were .away lighting; the Philistines, and when they

V; heard what Zimri had done, they were ’ .-tilled :’ with ' wrath andf declared ; that:

Zimri; should not rule over’; them; and ■Sa t : once ’■ 9 I10 s e 0 mrlVytheir.- ’captain,. to

be their king. ; ' ■■ \ ' ■ ’ ' «Omrt'and his men came ;to the .city

oC,Tlrzah,;wliere;Zlrini ilwelt, arid he->sieged.lt. When.’the city was about to

fall into; th eha iids 'of OmrI, Ziriirl :; Went into his palace, sot the plabo on ;; -fire and' was* burnetl to' death^: He .liacl .reigned just- seven flays; '■./ ./•/S;y.'£.;V Idol worship was t still popular, and

j like his "predecessors Omri wanted to , be on the - popular side.’ He; bought a hill, called Samaria, on which he built

/the clty of ’that name/f his clty became^; the. metropolis of tlie northern king­

dom, the rival of Jerusalem and gcn- , erally the residence of the Israelitlsh monarchs. Omrl -.lived here, and all the kings who lived after him as long as their kingdom lasted^-about two hundred years. He reigned for twelve years, and Ahab, his son, was made king. I t was driving the YoSgn of Uils Godless, idolatrous, wicked and. cruel king that the thrilling and dramatic events of the oratorio of -'‘Elijah’* took place. • '•

* 6 * •'

THE ORATORIO. - . . /

Six klugs had reigned over the klng- ;-dom of Israel, but the Bible says that

Ahab wont deeper into sin than any of his predecessors. Ho made Baal the "god of lire” ; and Ashtareth, tho “Goddess of Licentiousness,” tho na­tional gods. He took for his wife the heathen, Jezebel, a Zldonlan princess, who induced the king to orect.houses for his idols In the city of Samaria. He

. chose wicked men for tho priests of Baal to offer up sacrifices to their idols! •

“Elijah the Tlshbite.” *rhat Is all we know of him, beyond the fact that he was from thb “Land of Gilead.” Long, thick hair, hangfng down liis back and clothed in a mantel of sheep­skin. It was In the wild loneliness .of

.the hills anti ravines of Gilead that the knowledge of Jehovah, the living God of Israel, had been impressed on his mind, which was to form the subject of his mission to the idolatrous court and country of Israel. He is the most

; terribly impressive figure in Hebrew history, involved in mystery, working wonders, unable to reform Ills nation Jfrom the worship of false gods,, ho disappears at last in a flame of fire, in the midst of Btorm and tempest.

• No one knows whence he came and whither ho went. Ho comes without warning, and In tlio rough language of tho hills nnd deserts, fearlessly faces king Ahab and his heathen queen and says: • '/.... . .-'.-■/ / / / • . '; ./ • '/

Ah .God Iim Lord of Isniel. Ilvctii, •«of«rc w hom I Hlnnd/I here sha ll no t bo'dow nor ruin these year*, b u t according t« m y.word.

• The prophecy was fulfilled, and for. over three years tho drought continued until there was a famine in all the land. ’ .

Tho people cried in vain to Baal for relief and many in tlieir dire afilic- llon called upon the name of the Lord.

. It is a passionate plea for divine aid, but it scorned nd If the Lord had left them to thoir fato. The fearful con- ill tion bf tlie people ts described in tho words:Tlio deeps alford iio,water; nnd thu rivers

are exhausted! The stn?klln« ’8 tungUo now- elenveth tor thlrat Vn hia. month : tho infant

Then foliows another appeal to the Lord, which is full of entreaty, dovo- tion and fear:

l.ordi bow Thlno enr to our pm yer! .Z ion Hpm uleth her hnnUn.for nU l; mat then*

in ne ither he lp no r comfort.

Obadlait is the Governor of the king’s house, but Is secretly a follower of tho living God. It was he who had saved the lives of one' hundred :proplv- ots from tho hands of the murderous Jezebel by hiding them in a cavo anti providing them with food. To tho peo^ pie who now in their afillctlon are call­ing 011 the namo of tho Lord, ho says:. Ve people, rend you r henrU uhd nol your

But it is so hard, to break away from sin, especially if the sin be’popu­lar. Still pbadiah-points the way to peace and happiness and heaven:

I f w ith n il your henvta 7 0 tru ly Reek me, ye. shall ever surely tliul me. Thus .shith our God. : •

Oh I I lmt. I knew whore I. m lKht .n u d H im , tha t I (u lt'h t even eomo heforo If Ih presenee.

Blit the peoplo aro frantic in tlieir sufferings. They now. fear the wrath of God moro than evor:

Yet doth, the Loid see I t n o t ; H?j mouketh at us; I l ls curse hath fa lle n do w n upon us: i l ls w ra th w ill pursuc us, t ill . I lo destroy u s !

But they know that Ho is still God. and to him they look for mercy:'

* * * * *King Aluvb and his queen believe’

that. Elijah is responsible for all the suffering that has been visited upon Israel and they, have vowed to kill him. Messengers have . heen sent to all parts of the kingdom with instructions to bring back Elijah, <iead or alive. But •Elijah Is protected by guardian angels, and is warned'to ileev

Clicrith’s brook was in the east of Jordan, in'the land of Manasseli, and there Elijah dwelt, being fed by the ravens. And why -should he fear when angels are with him?-

Ahrtb. could not refuse^ neither could the priests of Baal. So the command was Bent throughout Israel for the folr

lowers of Baal to assemble for a nn- tiorial contest on Mount Carniel.. At last the great day arrived.; I t was a-.wil<i and Impresslvo scene. In the midst of. a inultitudo t>f people stood on one side the four hundred and fifty prophets of Bai.il arrayed in all the glory of their glittering robes and vestments •and on tho other the soli- ia.ry Ilgure of a gaunt, strange man; his long hair streaming down his shoulders, bare feet: and clothed in shaggy skliin. The priests o f Baal- arc not over anxious to begin the contest, but Elijah calls out:.

Baal was a . firc-god arid Elijah wanted to give thorii every opportunity to demonstrate the power of their.god. It Is sVill Elijah’s voice thateomrnands:: Call drst upon your god .* your num bers ari

-many: L even I, only remain, one prophet of the Lord!- I-nvoko your forcsPgods and m oun ta in Celtics.

.The great, contest begins! The priests r?f Baal arid their multitude of tollorrers pros5r-V o themselves.and cry:

ikuil; w.c ery to thee'. hear and answer us! Heed the iicrlllci.Mve oiler-!.hear, us! 0 hear us, Itnal

H ear, -mighty god !•. Itaaf. O answer us! i.i-t thy llanies fall and extlfpale tlm foe I (j hear iis,Haa I ! .

Anil so they cried, “from morning even until upon” (1 king 1S:2.G). They leaped, upon the altar iu their frantic appeal, lmt there wiis rib answer. About noon, Elijah,' who had been a silent, grim witness, of their incantations., mocked them and said: .

<.*atl h im louder, fo r lie ly ti god HI*- talketh; or he'ls pu rsu ing ; or he Is In ii journey \ or, penidventure, lie sleepeth : so aw aken h im : call h im louder. . •

• } Once again they resumed their, wild appeal:-' : * • . V ; . ; - v ' v

Ileai* ou r cry, O U aal! now a r l^c ! .where* fore s lum ber? , . . . .

Apd - for hours they called. They cut themselves with .knives and lancets until their bodies were covered with blood. Still no sign from the. fire-god arid Elijah, again calls to them:

Cull h tin lo u d e r ! 'h e henreth not. W ith kn lv esnm l lancets cut- yourselves alter your m anner: leap upon the a lta r yo bayo nuule: w ill .h im , nnd prophesy! Not a 'v o ic e 'w ill uu'H\ver y o u ; none w ill listen, none heed you;

Utterly exhausted they wait in silent awe for an answer, but none came. In the silence that follows Elijah enters tlie-centre and says: ., -

Draw near, all ye people: come to me!A solemn Iiiish falls over-themulti­

tude;. -'The . old prophet, prepares the sacrifice, and in the. fading light of the dying day lie lifts up his voice and pray?* • '

.“ I.ord ( Jod o f Abraham,- Isaac,’and Israel !- thls day let It be known tha t Thou ai-t <Jod ; aud I am Thy servant! 0 show to n il this people that I have done’-these.tilings accord-- pig-,to:Thy--word 1 O hear- mo, Lord, in id ' answer a ie ; a'intshbw th is ' people t hat'Thoti a r t Lord 'G od ; and let the ir hearts,0ga in bo turned !

Arid in that holy cairn, while; his face Is still uplifted the angels that cori- staritly 'surrounds: him- s i n g : ; ^

Coat: th y bUrden lipon: the Lord, and : 'He! sha ll susta in thee. He ne<-er w ill 'autrer thp rlghtebti^ to fall : H e in a t Thy righ t bnnd. ;,

Thy mercy, Lord,: l.s'» reat; and .far-above the' heavens. Let none .b e m a d e ashamed, tha t w ait upon Thee!

To the Baalltes the silence is.op­pressive, but there la not a whisper anywhere! They feel tho presence of the'spirit of the living God arid are conscious that something is about to happen.' The old man Is still la praybt* attitude.and with li IS. ftice fixed on the heavens’ lie continues:

O,Thou, w ho iiKikesl' T h ine ' angels.'spirits,; Thou, whose,m lnlslers are tlam ing tires, let, them now descend!

Instantly there is a blinding flash and tho sacrifice, tlie-altar and even the stones are'burned ttp! The multitude is terror stricken and in-their fear cry out: .-; •. ; .. . .The lire dcs-ceiuls from heaven; tlie. Humes

consume his otlerlng! iJefore Him upon your laces lull. '• ’ ’

And while prostrate on the ground they acknowledge that the Lord Is God and promise once more to serve Him:. Tho Lord is God ; 6 Israel, hear! ‘ n r God is^nie U>rtl ; n m l wo w ill hnve . no o ilie r gods, before the L o rd !

• .The law of God demands that falso prophets shall be put to death and af­ter the people have become calmer his voice Is ueard: , .

TiUit' i U Urn prophets o f lJiial.'ttiid let not one 01 Oietn eseupoyou ; bring them »lown to K lsho i.’s broo!(, and there let 1 hem he slain.

The river Klshou was not far away and the people, now convinced that their priests had misled them, were very ready to. do Elijah’s biddipg and promptly responded:

Take a ll the proplu-ts of Haiti-; and let not one o f them e*eapc ns: brliig a ll, nntl slay, th e m ! . . . - - • ■

Then to the people the old prophet sayo:- ” ... ' • '*

N rio t H is word like a lire; and lll*'*a l»nm- liter th iit brca.keth the rock Into piece*?

For God is angry w ith tin; wicked-every t in y : nnd if tbo wleUetl-lur.il not, the Lord w ill whet H isswortl.; and He hath, bent Hltj' bow, and m ime It ready.

' Tiie . conquest- was .complete/ it would scom that the children, of Israel would never again wander away from tlie true God arid return to idol , wor­ship., But God has shown liimself. to thousands of thousands since that day and tliey have promised - faithfully, to so'rve Him, but In a little while they are back to their earthly idols again. Bcatli-’bcd p'rpmIsos have been broken, Altar pledges.have been forgotten. Bui the children of Israel had seeti a great and startling miracle and seemed thor­oughly converted; One of their women, expresses tlieir. thoughts in these words:

W oo un to 'them who forsake H im ! des*.rue tion shill! fall upon them ,fo rjJioy liave trans- wvessed ngnlnst H im . Though tlu*y m e by H im redeemed,-yet they have spoken falsely ngaliisl H im .-' •: •

Now that God had overthrown the Baalites aud so plainly shown that He is God, the peoplo kriow that relief- from the drought and famine can conic only from Him. Oimdlab goes to Eli­jah and says:

O m an o f God, l.ielp thy 'peop le ! Am ong tho Idols of the Guntilvs/are llu-ro any..that can com m and tho rain, or'cause tho. heavens to give lhfclr showers ? Tho Lord our God alone can do these things.

Elijah onco more went to the kop of

, And' the people who hud accom­panied him joined In the prayer: .

‘ •pen tlio heavens im d send u* relief: lielp,heljrThy .servant now, O tJo tl!.

To the.servant Elijah says:.Go" up now , ch ild , uud look lowartl the

Again Elijah and the peijple-pray: .W h e n tho heavens an! cIo sh I iip because,

Give it up Elijah! it Is of no use! Six times the youth lias looked toward tlio sea and the heavens areas brass. There Is not the.Icafit sign of rairi! But'Eli- jah’s faith In God never wavers for an Instant and he continues in prayer:

The-Lord appeared and said: “What doest - thou hear- Elijah?” The old prophet repeated his tale of discourage­ments, of failures, of persecution and sahl that he was the only-one. in all Israel that-believed in tlio Living God. He had not made one convert!. He . wearily • sank down/to:; Vest'- for

Elijah again returned to the cave arid the-same voice asked “What doest thou hear. Elijah?'* Again the prophot repeated the same answer, \vherettpon the . Lord B a ld : “Go return 011 thy way to tho- wilderness of Damascus” arid he was given Instruction what to do. Tlie Lord further assured him that He. had seven thousand In Israel' who were, worshippers.of the true'and living God. '

“ I. go 011 my way in the strength of­the Lord. For Thou art my Lord; and I will surfer for Thy sake. My heart is therefore glad, my glory rejoiceth, and my .flesh shall also rest in hope. For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but Thy kindness shall not depart from me, neither shall the covenant of Tlfy peace be removed.”

“Then/did Elijah the prophet break forth like a fire; his words appeared like burning' torches. Mighty kings by him nvcyc overthrown.

The niaiiy frlciids. of Mr. and Mrs. GCorge S;. WelqU and - family, will be glad to kiiow tht?y, are till \yell, tind en- gaged lii the evangelistic work in India. They sailed on th^Atncrlcaii Line three days before Mr. Yatmlan', yet both en­countered that same storm at sea. Mrs. Wclch wrote, amid the roar, pf that fearful storm, the, words and presence of Jesus was very precious, rinci wc rejoiced in a'loving Saviour who truly ia “A shelter in the time of storm.”

They visited London, Paris, several noted places in Switzerland, Venice, Naples, Pompeii Mf. Vesuvius'. Rome, and other historical. cities, tlicn went to Egypt: visited the Pyramids and several of the cities of Bible times; went up the river Nile, visited sclioois and colleges, and there,, as at other places, they. met American ’ friends with whom tliey; wore well acquainted. Fr.om-, a- historical!'■ port iii JSgypt they again went on hoard; aii ocean steamer; and ■ by V previous; engagement.;.wei‘e. joined hy Bishop Thobiirn and family, and had a mucli; longer.

Bishop Thoburn invited Mr. and Mrs. Welch and. daughters to ac­company his family to the Conference at Cawnpore, Lucknow, Calcutta and otiier places, and at all of them they re­ceived numerous invitations to hold 'evangelistic meetings; arid, God ‘ .woiv- derfull'y blessed their work.■■;.

Not-'on ly d id ' M r. an d Mr s. W elcli ‘ eii-' gage in this • glorious work, .biit Pearl and Winnie sang those beautiful'Cicean Grove' hymns with mariy others to the glory, .of. God; which-, wiis' • blessed .by Him in helping, many son Is “heaven­ward.” The Calcutta papers speak in the highest terms of the great work accomplished and the wonderful scenes witnessed during the revival where hundreds were converted; and thous­ands blessed. At the close of the revi­val services, the people wanted “Cot­tage prayer meetings,” and they were joyfully welcomed, both in the palace Homes of tlie rich and the bamboo huts, o f ; tho poor, • and;.‘ God: , wonderfully blessed tlieir work* for liim in leading both rich and poor to, Jesus, and con­versions; were frequent at every meet- ing.is They liave seen thousands of the famine ■ sufferers and say no language can describe tlie horrors. God gave them the groat privilege of tolling pf “Jesus and His love,” to four hundred, of the “famine” children, .and also treating them to a Christmas dinner. It was the,flrst time these poor heathen chi Id ren ever hea rd th e name of Jesus!. Arid many a day since they, had a good meal, and they; were much amazed, to hear the "organ and singing,. arid yet even more when Mrs. Brewster’s school; of native Christian children sang “At tho; Cross Where - 1' First Saw the* Light. - ; Oh!-It is a .‘great joy to tell.. an immortal soul of our loving, Jesus, who never heard it in ail their suiter- iug lives.- Truly the work is great and thousands more of the noble Chris­tians are needed to “come over and help.” Will all the dear readers of the

'"Record” join in praying for them in their great and arduous work, that God, who lias kept them safe through the storms at sea, plague, famine and. the great earthquake of June 12th, may give them His power from on high in greater measure than, ever before to help them in this wonderful work, for they have so many calls It Is Im­possible to ever fill, them all.

May a "Myriad of prayers” escort them round the earth. A “Myriad welcomes await them In the sky.”

A Story of the White Ribbon.

Why do you wearthe White Ribbon?, is'sometimes asked and this is the answer. To show our colors, to keep ourselves in mind of our duty to tho organization and- most of rill to help others. • ... , . • •

The president of a local union in Philadelphia was taking, a little outr! ing one summer in AtlantlcCity. While ■she,, with a party ot friends, were be­ing shown over a vessel which had been ;atratided>on tlie beach, the young man, who was acting as guide, noticed the white ribbon oil her dress.; He rtian^ aged to get. near enough for private chat and sajd: “My mother- w'ears that,” pointing to the littlo bow, “and it seems like home to s?e it.”. Further conversation brought out the old story of a boy far back in the country, tired of the monotony of home, running away to seek'his fortune. The fortune was not found, but reckless ways, hard work and little pay wero. Tliou cume tlie longing-for homo, but.pride forbade his. humbling ";liliriself to. say tiiat he had .’ done ' foolishly. !Tlie little wliite iiil)bori^ intrp'dtiCQd.',\hi'm to a friend whose counsels encouraged.him to per­severe in steady %vays, and finally to send the wolcoine word to his home that lie was anxious to return;.

fie is now a.student i ii .a college looking forward to the degree , of M. D., and ready not only to offer healing to the bodies of suffers, but able and willing to point, them to the great Physician. That young man and his mother believe in wearing the white rlbb6n.-“ “Philadclpbia Ledger.”

Burdette anci the Bicycle.

A report got in circulation to tlio effect that Bob Burdette was dead. The Burlington “Hawkeyc,”; with which the humorist was formerly associated, de­nied tlie rumor in .the following'letter to the e'ditor:

Byrn Mawr, Pa., June 11, 1897.—My Pear Waite; Like.the true friend and loyal comrade you ever wore, yoii do; right to protest, against my burial prior to the autopsy.

f am, indeed, very much alive. Not only so, I haven’t been dead even a lit­tle hit. Not once. Could have been had 1 wanted to be. ' Could be yet. But I don’t want. May be-1 .ought to be,, oven now. But, as we make weekly confessions—“we .have left undone those things which wc ought to have done.” .

Possibly the rumor that 1 have.gone dead grew put bf the fact that I-have learned to ride a bicycle. ■ I say, "have lOarried^’ .=Not -'arii learning.” learned fri.one:lesson.; All by inyself. ; /

I held him by the withers right in tho middle of the road, and mounted with­out assistance. •

I* haveri’t been so, mauled and -abraded,' so thumped and beaten, so trampled upon and pounded, so bruised and scratched since I left the army. But I can ride.

1 don’t say that I “do.” But I “can.” Do I* consider “biking” good for the

SATURDAY EVENING’S CARNIVAL.

Wesley J ake the Scene of a Beautiful Pageant, Brilliant Display of Chinese

Lanterns and Fireworks.

Tho Wesley Lake Carnival always attracts gron- crowds ot people not only from the immediate vicinity, but also from nearby towns and villages. Last Saturday evening’s avent drew more than the usual number and the lake was surrounded by lines of peoplo eager to witness tho lieautiful feto, while all available positions oa porches, roofs, or in -windows of adjacant houses wero also occupied. .

Tho committee,consistlngof T.Frank Appleby, Henry C. Winsor, W. E. Be­de!!, David Harvey, Jr., -M. F. Bird, of Asbury Park, and C3eorgs W . Evans, Andrew C. Field, A. H. XleHavcn, G. C, Clayton and J. M. Dcy, 6f Ocea Grove, having tho affair in charge had looked so carcfully after details that no Uiteh or trouble occurred and tho affair was promptly started and ^successfully carried through.

The request to cottage owners to aid In making,tho event attractive by dec­orating their houses was responded to iu a generous way and both Hides of tho lake presented a most attractive appearance with I heir varied and bril­liant array of Chinese lanterns.

Tho stringing of somo 250 incandes­cent electric Ilgats ovor tho waters of tho lalio between tl) - two bridges was an innovation that added greatly to tho attractiveness of the scene Tiie lamps were of various colors and their bright­ness with tho reflection In tho water lipueath resulted in a very beautiful and brilliant effect. Walter Franklin, the- electrician, of the Ocean Grovo Association, placed thom In position and performed tho work In a very ar­tistic manner.

Thera were more than forty boats in the carnival and all of these were fes­tooned and decorated with Chineso lanteriiG in tho most picturesque and beautiful manner. They /ere assem­bled near tho foot oE tho ialiu and fastened ono to another in a continuous lino and as thoy moved over a aerpen- tino courso np and down the lake pre­sented an imposing and most attrac­tive appearance: To add to the bril­liancy ot tha occasion Mr. Crowell, the fire works man, had been engaged and he gave a moat excellent pyrotechnic exhibition. Two pedastale had been erected upon one of which atooi! Mica Hoagland, representing thu Bartholdi Statue of Liberty, and on tho other a group of young ladies sheltering them­selves] beneath an umbrelia from which there was a constant drip of water. These wero Illuminated by grcok Are giving a very pretty effect. Bartow'B bant! save nddjea pleasure and Interest

• to tho iivent Tho men were located on the lower bridge and in tho quiet of tho evening tho ;j usic could bo heard from one end -f tho lako to the other.

The festival wns pronounccd to be the most successful ever held and in view of tho pleasure it affords, tho managers havo decided that another year tho matter will bo taken up.early ia the season and a carnival arranged for that wlli far eclipse anything o£ the kind ever attempted In this part of the state.

Tho following if a list of the prize winners: F. Burdgo, “Dow Dron," $20; Noah Wethorill, "Frolic," $15 Herbert Bates, “Newark,” $12; C. V. Gates, “Mollle Pitcher," $iu; Garfield Wilkins, Philadelphia,” filvor watch worth $10; Howard Ameli, “Brooklyn,' gold cuff buttons; Fred Knight, “Lake­wood,” spoonoars; U. Burleston, "Grace Darling,” pearl scar? pin; Ward Han- ton, ‘'Minnehaha,’" $2; Captain W hit­tier, “Undo Sam," vase. Besides this each boat in line scoured fifty cents.

The Free Delivery Service.

Postmaster Hamilton finds the intro­duction of the Free Delivery Service not only a great accommodation to the people, but also a measure of relief in the general work In tiie post office since it relieves tho heavy traffic at the general delivery windows.

The five carriers now in service can handle all the matter .hat.comes to the .office bearing the proper street :td- dress, and persons desirous ot receiv­ing tho benefits of the system should adviBo their correspondents to acid tho street and number to the usual address.

Fourteen of the twenty-tlireo street letter boxes wero erected last Wednes­day, and in this connection a funny In­cident happened. The boxes were first distributed at the various points where It had been decided to locate them and while the posts, to which they were to bo fastened, were being prepared at tho lumber yard, tho boxer, lay on the ground. In tlio course -of an hour <,t>me one advised the postmaster that tho public was already making uso of the drop boxes and a hasty visit dis­closed the fact that every box contained more or less mail matter—tho one on Ocean Pathway liavingl eleven letters therein. This, in spite of the fact that the boxes were not locked and lay upon the ground in any position they Hap­pened to be in when unloaded from the wagon. The postmaster gathered up the mail and locked the boxes at once.

The remaining nine boxes wero put up on Thursday.

It is expected that the sale of postage stamps by tho carriers will be Inaugu­rated next week.----

It is thought that, by Monday or Tuesday noxt that the complete drawings and specifications will bo in shape for final adoption.

The bonds arc about ready ond will be executed, and delivered to tho pur- chassera the early part of next week.

• Making' of Pins.

There Is, scarcely a woman. diving who aoe« hot use • the common and everyday pin every day snore- ar less, but few, however, ever think how It is made. To complete a pin it has to go through :nany -landf before it is ready for the customer. I t is a very delicate article to handle, and tho .sot ot building tho machincB to make tt Is the greatest outlay. Tho wire from which these pins are manufactured is cpeclaliy prepared, and comes to-the factory on largo reels very much like gigantic cotton Bpools.

The wire Is fast turned through eight or ten little copper rollers. This is to get all the band and kink out of it; in other words, to straighten It per­fectly. After this preliminary opera­tion is completed it ia once more wound on a very large reel, which is attached to the machine that makes tho pirns, One of theso machines makes on as average; of 8,300 pins aa hour, and' somt- large factories will .often have thirty or forty machines at work at one time. After the pins ai-e released from the grip of this: machine they are given a bath of sulphuric add. This removes all tho grease and dirt from them. .

They are then placed in a tub or bar­rel of sawdust. Pins and sawdust are next taken together from the barrel and allowed-to fall in a steady stream through a strong air blast, whlchsepar- ates: tho sawdust from the pins. But as yet they aro pointless, and pin's without points would not lie of much' use. In order to point them they are carried on an endless grooved belt;, which , passes a sot of rapidly moving flics. This points them roughly, and, after being passed between two grind­ing wheels and forced agalnst a rapid­ly moving band faced with emery cloth; tliey are dipped into a- polishing tub of oil. Thia latter Is. a large, slowly revolving, copper-lined tub, which Is tilted lit an .angle of fl.bout 4B degrees. As this revolves, the points keep slid-' ing down the smooth copper to the lower side, and, owing to t ie constant friction against the copper and each other, receive a brilliant poiisii and finish. ,

They, i?» next to the sticker, where they fall'from a hopper on an inclined plane, in which are a number of silts. The pins catcli in these slits, and, hang­ing by their heads, slide down to an apparatus '-which Inserts them In . the paper;. This' machine is perhaps the most Ingenious of all the beautiful and complicated contrivances that nel|s to make: and manipulate the pin. It does ail this .it the rate of 100,000 pins ah hour, and yet a single bent or damaged pin will cause it to stop' feeding until tbo attendant removes the offender. Tho pins are then stuck into tho paper by the machine, which ia usually oper­ated by n skilled girl, and then they are ready for shipment to all parts of the civilized world, where the common, but accessary, pin is ft fnctor.

The Watch a Compass.

Few of the many persona who carry watches are aware of the fact that they are always provided with a eom- pass with which, when the sub is shin­ing, tliey can determiae a north ahd south line. All one has to do is to point the hour hand to the sun; and the south is exactly half way between the hour and the figure " 12” on tho watch. . For example, suppose-It 'is fl o’clock In the morning., Follow the rule given above, and we find the south is indicated below. Prolong this line along,the face- o fth e watch and yoit. have a north and south line, and fro® this any point on the compass may be determined, This may' seem strange, but the reason ia piain, While ths sun is passing over. 180 degrees '‘from 'east to west) the hour hand of the watch pauses over 360 degrees (from G o’clock to 0 o’clock). Consequently the angu­lar movement of the un iu one hour corresponds to the angular movement of tbo hour hand In linif nri hour; hence, If holding the watch horizontal, we point the hour hand towards the sun, the line from the pivot of the hands to the point midway between the hour band nnd 12 o’clock will point to the south.

This is one of the ways of determin­ing the points of the compass if one is hot provided with a compass. Many other means of orientation are taught to soldiers, so that In ease they become separated from tlieir commands they m ay know which way to travel to reach their camps. Orientation by incans of the moon Is a little more dif­ficult and not as reliable as tlmt by means of a watch and sun. It depends npon the quarter In which the moon happens to be. The. full moon Is In the East at G o’clock in the evening and in the south at midnight and in tho west in the morning. The moon tlie first quarter Is in the south, at G o’clock in the evening and In the west at mid­night. In the iast quarter tho aoon is in the east at midnight anil in the south atG o’clock in the morning. These indications, except the first, may vary an hour or so earlier or latter . In the first quarter the moon has the con­cavity ii) the left; In tho last toward tho right.—Baltimore American.

Klondike Goltlflelds.

I’fover in modern IriBtory have tn!ca bo wonderful of rioh gold discoveries been told nsi those appearing iu recent news dispatches, and tho miuoa whence tho vast fortunes aro to Iio dag aro of all places in tho world in Alaska. Very rioh finds of gold and precious stones havo boon associated in onr minds hero- toforo with-warm countries, Imt it scorns tiio rulo is to bo reversed in iho Klon­dike goldilolds.

Tho sow mines tako thoir name from tho rivor Klondike, n tributary of tho groat tnkon, in British territory., I t does not matter on which sido of tbo lino tho gold is, however. Qnito aa snauy Americans as British aro there to dig it out-.. Last summer when miners from the Klondiko region wont to tho Alaskan towns of Forty Milo and Oirolo City for supplies thoy told other minors whom' thoy mot that thoy wero gotting occasionally ns high as $100 from a sin­gle pirn of “ pay dirt.” They wore laughed to scorn.. I t wns observed in timo, however, that miners in the Kloa- diko region uovorwont prospcoting in oilier directions for better diggings.

Thoy staid oxaotly whoro thoy wero and dng dirt and said nothing. This sot other minors to thinking ond finally to following ou to Klondike. Thoy fonnd tho mines were twice as rich ovou as had boon represented to them. Tho mining thus far is by tho rude systom of plaoer working, or washing out pans full of earth to got tho gold nt tho bot­tom. Bnt oven this wasteful way has yielded in somo oases $500 to tho pan nf dirt. No wonder tho minors in Alas­ka aro tumbling over one tmothorto got !o Klondike. May they nil mnko n for- tune, and, what • is more, may they all keep it after they havo got i t Such groat addition to tho world’s gold storo is wolccmo just now.

Fund .That Fe ll Through.

It could liavo been prophesied that Mark Twain would refuse tho offer bo

ostentatiously tendered him of a sub- ncriptioii fund to pay his debts and free liim from poverty. Any man with tho feeling of a man would havo dono tlio same. I f Mr. Janies Gordon Bennett had quietly put his hand into his pcok- et aud brought out $10,000 and then as quietly proposod to nino other American and Anglo-American multimillionaires that they should do tho same, $100,000

would Jmvo beon raised, and not oven Mr. James Gordon Bennett’s own news­paper would havo known about it.

I f then tho $100,000 had been sent to Mr. Olomens, with an unsigned lottcr informing him that tho money was his, but that ho could not find out and nev­er would find out who sent it, and no­body oxcopt himself and tbo donors would ever know it had been sent, would Mark Twain have rofusod to ap­ply tho sum to settling his debts? No:

ho would havo gratefully accepted it und prayod all tho rest of his lifo for tho unknown friends who had so doil- oately relioved his necessities. , Now, if wo had as muoh money ns James Gor­don Bennett has, ; that is what we would havo done.

•Thero is nothing small about Now York’s opinion of itsolf, oven under circumstances tlio most discouraging. Somo years ago Now York ; newspapers named tbo.basoball.team from that city tho “ Giants.” Lost year they wero away down toward tho tail end of tbo iioagne clubs, yet fondly tho paporsof their own oity spoko of thom as tho “ Giants” still. This year thoy have managed to strugglo up nearer tho head, nothing to brng about, however, butonce again and always thoy aro “ Giants.”

Nothing like appreciating a homo nrti- . cle. To the average provincial Now Yorker anything iu that city, no mat­ter what, is always finer, • handsomer nnd more gorgeous than anything from another port of tho earth.

At last an American of influence— namely, tho United States cmbassadcrt to England—has interested himsolf iu tho caso of Mrs. Maybrick. and thero is , possibility of her release. Sho might

havo beon freo long ago if oven ono of iier own follow countrymen of eminence

had token tbo trouble to petition for her rbleaso as Embassador Hay hat done. But no. Our distinguished Ameri­cans in London havo either been so busy trying to crawl up back stairs into the society of tho British aristooraey oi else so occupied in making silvery speeches on tho harmony aud ’ brother­hood existing between Great Britain ■and. tlio United States that they had uc lime to obtain justice, for a suffering ;and wronged American woman.

Politicians nro shaking tliemsolves up mnd woiidoring whether tho heated spoil .has attested tho brain of Seoretary Ly­man J. Gage of the United States treasury department, sinco ou n recent trip with his family and friends ou tbo lighthouse tender Violet for ploa'sriro aud recreutiou tbo Baid Gage did notu- ally pay all exponses out of his own pocket. . ' ■ .

Switzerland w ill probably Boon make the oxperimeutof the state ownorship .of railroads’, (f n small .country like this Swiss republic succeeds well with the enterprise, other nations may’cijn-

.aider the shatter of the baying np of railway lines by tbo .government.

■ .The Strike..-. ■Second in its disastrous eUeot only to

tho stopping of work ot the railway em­ployees of the country is a general strike of ths coal miners. Say 860, 000 miners went out. That involves cuttiiiR off the living of tho' miners themselves and their families, not less than 1,000,000

persons. . In . wage!' the minors lose $1,000,000 r week. Besides, the strike would affect all tho railways of tho •boontry, reiuoing thoir freight earnings, Ouo.of the first things ;:oiiway 'mar.- agers in regions nffooted by tho coal strike did was to diminish the number of freight cars on the road and discharge many of their employees. Tho gaB com­panies of tho country would iti like manner bo. affected. A strike o£ coal minora that continued long enough would leave avery oily in tho land ia darkness. .

I t is true the authority of the United States government oould be evoked to forcibly prevent matters reaching such a pass, but to i n g o v e rm n e E i power in such a way would, be like covering over out of sight a dynamite bomb.; A ll sail­way, gas nnd o o a l companies how iu the hands of receivers appointed under fed­eral law cdii appeal to a United States court for aii'injunction to. prevent iho strikers from interfering w it h thoir par- tiqnlar business. At tho b e g in n in g of tho ooal strike Eeoeivers Blickensdorfor and Herrick, in Ohio, Bbowed bow easily this can.be dono. I f the striking miners rofasa to obey, at once United States troops co b bo ordered out against then;;:

I t is becoming clear to tha civilized mind, howevet, that resorts to violence constitute the worst possible/way of Bottling a labor difficulty. They are, in

fact, no settlement at all.■When tho ooal workers went out, they

le ft in each mine two sues to take caro of it and prevent roofs from falling iii. That was cvidcnco that thero was on thoir part a •willingriosf! to sottlo mat-,: ters peaceably. Ono point is absolutely

certain, The - interests of miners and mine operators aro really the. same. When ana is prosperous, tho other natu­

rally w ill bo also. Minora are suraly w illing that operators should realizo a fair profit. Operators know in their bouIs

that minors who aro well paid w ill do bettor work than those who aro discon­tented. On this basis, each remember­ing thut the other looks at tho matter prcoieely as ho himsolf would under like circumstances, each w illing to do tho right thing by tho other, n mutual understanding botweon omployor and employee could always bo arrived at. Tho timo for displays of high handed arrogance of temper haB gono by.

There aro facts with a strango psycho­logical boating in conneotion with tho capture and arrest of Mrs, Naok and Martin Thorn, accused of tho murder of William Gnldenaupp;! in Now York bity. Thoy. are believed to havo killed their victim and thou to havo dismens ■ beredhimi thrown part of thoiautilated body Into tho East river and taken she rest of . it into a wood miles nway,frqm tho river. Tho head was not found at all. Yot mesh by mesh tho not wove around tliom that caused them to bo hold for tbo murder. There ia some­thing uncanny in tho way tho fragmonts of tho body wero fonnd in different places, brought together and identified, as tho remains of Gnldensuppo. Before this happened thoro was timo for Mrs. Nack to havo got out of tbo oity and tho country, hot Bho did not go. Some weird power soemed to hold licr. I t was tho samo with Martin Thorn, her sup­posed accomplice. Nearly two weeks olapscd botweon the disappearance of Gnldensuppo nnd tho timo when Thom wns found and arrested. Ho might havo been eafo in Europe or South America beforo that, bnt ho, too, hovered around the scene of the orimo. Ho could not go away by himself. I t soemed that ho dared not. Ho had to havo somebody to talk to. So he was arrested. It appears as if an unseen jrilont vengeance was at tlio book of all, doing its torriblo work.

President and Mrs. McKinley havo read a w.ortliy lesson iu social domocrar oy to their, fellow countrymen. Thoy took back \vith them from Canton to Washington as their guest Miss Buck­ingham, an accomplished Indy who keeps a privato sohool in • thoir homo town, A modest schoolmistress ia thus tho recipient of tho highost social honor that cau bo bestowed on a person iu tho United States. So it should always bo iu a republic, that brains nud.truo re­finement count for moro thau ;nero wealth uud idleness.

A Conductor’s Advice.

“Liet me givo you a pointoiv.’ said M. P..Gregg, a popular conrtuctbr on tho Missouri Pacific railroad. • “Do you know that Chamberlain’s Col ie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (hires you when you have the stomach acho? Welt-it does.”- And after giving this friendly bit of advice the jolly conductor pnn&ed on down the isle. It is a fact that thousands of railroad and traveling men never take a trip without a bottle of this remedy, which Is tho best cure Jn the world for bowel disorders. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by StephenD.

Superior Entertainment.

The success which.has followed each

ot the series ot entertainments: that have been provided for the OceanGrove

people the present season betokens an

Intelligent', management iiml has re­sulted in adding to the already firmly established reputation the place pos­

sesses, of offering greater attractions nnd- enjoyment to tlie summer visitor

than any other resort in the country. ThiB position Is well taken for it needs

only a glance over the program of events to demonstrate that in no other

- place Is congregated during the sum­

mer months so many of . the most

prominent ministers and educators the country possesses, tho greater number

of whom in some way assist in, or

conduct, one or more of the series of'

religious services.When we add to tills the special meet­

ings, lilic the Summer School of Theo­

logy, with its lectures and splendid musical entertainments, equal to the

best offered In our largest cities; Mr. Yatman’s popular Young ' People’s Meetings and his navel and beautiful

service—"Songs in the Night;” "Floral

Day” with Its magnificent display of

nature’s choicest handiwork, and ail

the other Instructive, educational and religious services which go tp'maito up the summer’ll program at Ocean Grove;

It may well be said that she hns no

rival.Not only have the services at the

Auditorium been of a superior charac­

ter but the out-of-door entertainment

has .been exceedingly attractive and afforded enjoyment to young nnd old alike. The Fourth of July celebration,

the Carnivalon WealeyLnke, thn Wheel­men’s parade, the Baby parade, and kindred events, add largely in making

a successful season, for they contribute to the entertainment of tho summer

visitor nnd aid in attracting others to

our resorts.Witli the record of successful relig­

ious, cducntlunal and musical events

Ocean Grove has to lier credit tills year, ami the enjoyable out-of-door

festivities which so: nicely fill In the spaces between tlio other services, there

ls. reason to believe that the capacity of tho. town will be crowded to the utmost another year, especially in view

• ot the efforts that will be made to still further enhance and improve upon the

. character of tlie services und entertain­

ment In all directions.

A Public Convenience;Mr. Bradley's determination to sell

the block of ground on which stands Educational Hall brings to the front a question of considerable interest lo As­bury Park people. Should this com­modious building with its beautiful

grounds go. Into' private hands there would be an end to .this free find open

uso to which It haa been, put ever since Its erection. No religious, educational,

musical, political or any kind of legiti­mate assemblage was ever, denied ad­mission an no charge Was made for

the use of this valuable property.

Whether the determination to sell was: brought about because of a differ­ence of opinion between Mr. Bradley

and City Council, regarding the iiues- tion of his personal' taxes, or' not, tiie

result cannot be otherwise than , detri­mental to the best interests of the city. Asbury Park Is becoming each year more prominent as. a convention'city

and It ihe:-;. gatherings should bo (le prlved of the use of Educational Hall

and the Auditorium, where could they bo accommodated? in other handB than Mr. Bradley's It would mean that-the

townspeople would have to pay the rental of a hall for jaeh and every con­vention lo t these bodies, as a riile, do

not care, to pay for, such accommoda­

tions;, and then what would be done

With tho many local gatherings of more or less magnitude; which have hereto­

fore milde use of tlis hall as freely as though it belonged to the town?

Mr. Bradley has always berm public spirited in this matter of providing ac­commodations for largo gatherings and it Is to be regreted that for any

reason he feels a necessity to change his course In this particular.

Improper Street Costume.*.,

The elfort now being made by tho

authorities of Ocean Grove and Asbury Parle t« break iip the custom followed

by many people of parading the public streets in bathing costume on . their way to and from tiieir daily bath, should bo continued until the practice

has hoe- abolished. The ordor .will undoubtedly; work some hardship ta

Individual eases, but tlie principle of the “greatest good to the greatest number" must tie observed !n this mat

ter, iind we think: that the great bulk

of our people are against the continu­

ance of the custom.True many of those who traverse the

tlvenues In bathing eoBtume endeavor ns fur as possible to overcome Inde­

cency and unsightliness by the use of

waterproofs, &c., but this Is an order

that must be enforced against all or none; and its proper execution will rid

tlie community of one ot tho unpleas­ant features which bf recent years has grown Into ungainly proportions be­

cause of n lack of restrictive legisla­

tion.

The Carnival.

Tho carnival of Saturday night was

a Bplendid affair. The committee having tho matter in charge did not get down to nctual business until a few days prior to the date decided upon for

tho event, but thoy performed some cnergotlc work and. scorbd a decldcd success. The Ocean Grovo Association

took an luteres! in. tho festival and ' added'very much to the artistic beauty of tho decorations by the novel display of colored oleetric lamps. Every one

was so pleased and satisfied with the entertainment that projects for a car­nival of still greater beauty and pro­

portions are under consideration for another year. :

(live Us Husic.

The introduction of music at Ross’ pavilion has had an influence to keep nt Ocean Grove many people who have

heretofore gone to Asbury Park forthis itind of entertainment. There is prob­ably no resort on the Now Jersey const

that possesses such a complete, com modious and attractive bathing estab llshment and pavilion as Ross'; and

If music adds to its attractions and

pleases the people.arrahgementssliould be consummated that would resultintho engagement of a regular band for the

season of 1898.

Lakewood has inaugurated a series

of religious services something after the character of the Ocean Grovo Beach meetings. They are held in tho

grove on the margin of the beautiful Iut,,: “Carasaljo,” and arc confined to

no denomination, but are participated

in by the pa'Btors and peoplo of th e

various churches. The novelty of the service nttracts good sized audiences

and the meetings are quite beneficial and very much enjoyed.

People have said that the credit of

seaside resorts was inferior to that of othor places where the population all tlie year round was more uniform,. The eagerness exhibited by brokers to

secure the Neptune Township School bonds, nnd later the offer of responsi­

ble. Now York people to take Asbury Park City bonds at fotir and one-half

per cent, interest, is; an absolute refuta­

tion of thia statement.

Our people were oo eager to test the working of the new. postal serviciftliat they could not wait until thedropboxes were erected, but dumped their letters

HOW MUCH BID?

A Valuable Block i; to " be Sqid.'fii ttfe Heart of Asbury Park. -

Educational Hall block, with tho his­torical Centennial building, Vhlttler Chapol.aml tho 'horse-Bh,C(lH, Is'ottered for.tale by Senator Bradley. Only .this week: did. tho Senator put the property on the market. He gives ,as liis rea­sons for selling that ho. wants to rtis-

. pose of some.ot his' .land, and i tl -j he might as well beglp with Educa­tional Hall block as anything else. No price, has been set on the land and- buildings. Tho Senator Invites figures, and tte one bidding the mast will re­ceive the property provided, of course, the amoii ia In any way commen­surate 1 with Its value. ■ ,

The bloc?! has a frontage oi 40D ieet on Second and Third avenues, and ia 300 feet iietween Emory street rmd. Grand avenue. This would make aix- teoa lots each 50x150 feet. A iow prlca per lot would bo $2,GOO, making $40,000 in,all.

One real estate man in Asbury Park, who" is well acquainted with the. values of property of that vicinity, eald ,'ast night that the block ought to bring ?5G,009. He figured that two corner lots on Grand venue, 100x160 feet, ought to bring $8,000 each, or $18,000 for both. Ho put tho Emory street lots 'u at J7.000 eacl?, or ?14,000 for both.' Besides thesa there are eight more lota valued at i3,009 each, Thus tho full amount would bo $56,000. Prob­ably higher prices could he realized if the block wuu cut up into twenty-five foot lots: but it Ib doubtful if Mr. Brad­ley would sell under theao conditions, as his.aim has been to keep the lots fifty feet front.

The $66,000 monuoned above does ;iot include tho buildings on the block. Tho old hall would not bo worth much torn down, nnd it cannot be moved. Whittier Hall was formerly tho Pres­byterian Church, This Is i:i a fairly good state of preservation. As to tba horse-sheda, their value should not bo considered.

If tho block is sold it will tako away Crorn ABbury Park a landmark that Is familiar lo every permanent nnd trans oat resident. Mr Bradley bought Educational Hall after tho Centennial, and paid about $3,000 for it. He had it lorn down and transported to Asbury Park by train, whore it' was crected sn the site It now occupies. W ithin ..ho old building hundreds of entertain­ments have been belli, anil i.Ir. Brad­ley has ye; to receivc tlio first cent of incomc for its use. Ha has kept up the grounds, lalu out tennis courts and !n other ways epent money thatredounded io tho benefit of Asbury Park in gen­eral.

It wns said yesterday that a syndi­cate of New York capitalists tried o buy the bloek Severn! years ago for the purpose of putting tip a magnificent hotel and laying out ihe grounds in elaborate style If uny deal, was at­tempted it soon fell through.

A roa: estate agent in Asbury Park wants a ten-days’ option on the block and will try and seeiiro it irom the owner.—Asbury Park Dally Journal.

A. R. THOMPSON,Corresponding Secretary,

CITY COUNCIL.

IBiilhinff Costumes to be Prohibited as a ' ' . ’ Street Dress—The Sign Ordi­

nance Passed.

There was an ordinary amount df business - requiring; ths attention at Council bn Monday. evening last and al! the members, including the Mayor, were os hand to give it consideration,

Monday eyening, August 23, was designated as the date on which, the protests ot Cookman avenue property owners should be heard regarding the assessments for improvements on that street.

Tha matter of bathers parading the streets in battling; costume created quite .s. discussion, but all the members of Council were In favor of its abolish­ment except Mr. Harvey who thought that the dress was no more offensive' than that worn in many cases by bi­cycle riders.

A note e£ ?5,000 was ordered to be renewed . and $1,000 transferred from the sprinkling fund to the street ap­propriation, tho latter fund having been exhausted.

The sign ordinance camo - up for further discussion. There was a strong sentiment in favor of attaching an amendment providing that applications be filed with Council and granted or denied at its discretion. It was thought beBt to havo the ordinance decisive, and on a final voto President' ICrnehi's was tho deciding voto which defeated the amendment. T„e ordinance was then passed in its original form.

Clerk Burroughs reported ihe collec­tion of $9,134.65 in license fees.

An offt r .was received from Edgar C. Jones, a New York ..anker, to taka city bonds at 4% per cent, interest. As there arc l oEda approximating $35,000 in Value which can he called at any time thoy may bo replaced at the lower rato of interest.

Mr. Harvey desired to bo relieved from tho chairmanship of the Street Committee, but upon request was pre­vailed .upon to withdraw his applica­tion.

An executive session followed.

At ’.be annual meeting of the W. P. M. S., Ocean Grovo Auxiliary, it was resolved that thanks be tendered to al! thoso who bo kindly assisted in the musical portion of the program and which.added so much to the interest.

To all who contributed to the basket collection is the morning—$375, and to tha Ocean Grove Association for tho generous gift which thay each year pass over to the W. F. M. Society.

To those who contributed in tho af­ternoon and by which Bishop Fitz­Gerald wan made life patron (5300,00) and Dr. Oldham was made life mem­ber ($20,00).

T;. the two friends who matched the . Individual contributions of tho after­noon. '

Tho amount to the present timo is about $1,200.00, of th iB tho young people contributed $120.00.

Among the effects of Dr. E. H. Stokes was found ona dollar in an envelope marked "for the Missionary Society.’ It Was given to tho young people and becamo the nucleus of a memorial offering and soon grew to $25.00.

Mrs. Stokes bad sent $50.00 In mem­ory of Dr. Stokes to support a Bible woman.

The election resulted in the re-elec- tioh of former ofllcers and managers, the smo es iast year .and which -a: published In iast week’s “Record."

OCEAN PROVE TIMES— SATURDAY, AUGUST ai, 1897. 7YELLOWSTONE PARK.

A Complete Tour via the Pennsyl­vania Railroad.

The Yellowstone National Park is unquestionably (ho most interesting region; on the globe, lor within It is displayed the greatest collection of na­ture's manifold wonders. Indeed, this mountain-bound plateau, high up on

. the summit of the everlasting Rockies, is a veritable play ground for the world’s giant forces. To stand and gaze upon them in all tlieir marvelous snaiilfestatlons. the .great geyser ap- Aeavale, the fierce steam blasts, the terrible leap of the river, and the awful canon, i » a revelation, an experience to be tad at no other point on the earth. •

The personally conducted tour of the Pennsylvania EailroafiCompany,which leaves New. York on September 2, af­fords, tha m oB t satisfactory means of visiting this wonderland and viewing i t a marvelous features. Tourists will travssl by special train of Pullman smoking, dining, sleeping and chserva- tion cars la each direction. Bight -days will be apent in the Park,. Stops will also lia made returning at St. Paul and Chicago. The round , trip rate, ¥235 from New York,'Philadelphia, Balti­more and Washington; $230 from Pitts­burg, severs all .necessary, expenses,"

For detailed itineraries and full in­formation apply to ticket agents, Tour­ist Agent, 1198 Broadway, New York, or address George W . Boyd, Assistant General Passenger'Agent. 3road Street Station, Philadelphia.—Ad. Aug. 7 St.

Burdette and the Bicycle.

A report got in circulation to the effect that Bo!i Burdette was dead. The Burlington “Hawkeye," with which tlie humorist wns formerly associated, de­nied the rumor tn the following, letter ■to the editor: '■ . • •

Byrn Mawr, Pa., Juno 14, 1897.—My Dear Waite: .Like the true friend and loya! comrade you ever were, you do right to protest against my burial prior to tho autopsy.

l am, indeed, very much alive. Not only so, I haven’t been dead even a lit­tle bit. Not once. Could have been bad I wanted to bo. Could be yet. But I don't want. May bo I ought to be,, even now. But, as we make weekly confessions—“we .have left - undone those things .which we ought to have done.’1.

Possibly tho rumor that I have gone dead grew out of the fact that I have learned to ride a bicycle.' I say; "have learned,” Nor. “am learning, 1 Learned in one lesson.. All by myself;

Went-out Sri tho moonlight last Fri­day night to learn, having .first locked my family in the house and forbade them to look out of the windows. Led my bicyclo out on the turnpike—the Bryn Mawr pikes are broader .than the way to destruction, twice as smooth and ranch cleaner. It's a young bicy­cle—a colt, foaled In .’37. Would give the name but .for the fact that . I had to pay for the wheel: W ill only say,.

- therefore,' in aecordafiec- ivlth theethies of our profession, that it Is not the wheel anybody says it Is.

I held him by the withers right in the middle of the road, and mounted with­out assistance.

I dismounted in the same indepen­dent manner. .

Got on again nnd proceeded to bfeali him to saddle.

Did I ride the first time?Well, say!People had told m c — IlarB of all ages

and both sexes—that I wouldn't fall sC, when I felt that I was falling, I would Btick out one foot.

I stuck both feet and both hands and fell on my head,

I fell on one side of that diabolical wheel and then on the other; I fell on both sides at once; I fell on top of it and underneath it, and made "dog falls” with it I fell between the wheels. I fell behind the hind wheel and before ihe- I'ront one at the same; time and; don't know yet how I did it. I fell and thrust both legs through the spokes of one wheel i met a terrified man In s. buggy , iid drove him clear oif the pike through Whoeler’s hedge, and I don’t think he has come back yet. Every time I fell I slapped the palms ot my raw, swollen, throbbing hands on the ■hard “Inelastic’’ pike, except the time I fell on my head. I fell harder and with greater variety ot landing than any man could, fall’ unless lie dropped out of a baloon and lit in a load of furniture, 1 lost my confidence, my patience, my temper, my clamps, lamp, bell and reputation. I broke onepedal,

.. the saddle, and the ordinance against loud, boisterous and abusive language ai night. I ran into everything in <sig!it except the middle of the road. I sat down on everything in thetownsbip except the saddle. I scorched in a cir­cuit not fifteen feet In circumference. Until you coilid srnel! brimstone. I made more resolutions than a South American republic! ami didn't get ten feet away from where I ; started. I haven’t been so mstuled and abraded, so thumped and -beaten, so trampled upon, and pounded, so bruised, and scratched since 3 left the army. But I can ride. e e.

i ;don’t say that J "do.” But 1 “can.” Do I consider ‘biking1' rood for the

health? , - - -ev.’; , > .' -... -■For the health of some people, I. do.

■ I don't see how a physician can bring up his family unless ills children have

: something to eat.-But in my own. ease I reserve my de-

cision. I will wait until I know whether I am going to die or get well. And you tell Brother Davis to keep hie obituary'oh the standing galley until he hears from "Slug Mine,” 1 don't believe I ’ve itot "30” yet; Although friends who have called to, see me break down when they say ‘‘good-bye" und .walk out of the roota on-tlp-tOe; But I wouldn't mind that if I knew what became of my shoulder blades the time I .-ran under the hay wagon. Cheerr fully yours,

Where the Day Begins.

By iiommon consent of tho nation’s longitude on the globe is reckoned from Greenwich, England. The prime meridian is considered to be at that point. Melbourne Is, In round figures, 146 degrees east, of Greenwich, and St. Louis is 90 degrees west of Green­wich, -That Is, in passing along-the globs westward from Melbourne to St. Louis 235 degrees of - 'longitude are traversed, -.Each 15 degrees constitute an hour in time. The earth makes a complete revolution, from west to east, through 363 ,degrees, in twenty-fora hours. In flack hour, therefore, it turns 15 degrees. Places 15. -degrees east at us see i lio sun an hour before we do. . Places 90 degrees east of us seo it six hours before we do, and so on. Tho sunrise, noon,, sunset and all other hours come to those places, es.a conse­quence, earlier than they do to us.. The present hour of the day to the .inhabi­tant!; of; St, Louis, whatever the hour, may be, came to tho inhabitants of Melbourne about fifteen and two-thirds hours ago. To places west of. Us this order of things, of course, is reversed.'

But at what part ot tbs globe does the- day begin? This was a, problem which once bothered ' the scientists. The sun Is rising In some part or other of the globe-ever? moment. Tn some part or other; ot the globe the sue. is always sotting or on the meridian. Therefore 1‘; is daylight always some­where. Yet It was necessary to select a conventional, starting , point for the day. It was desirable, too, that the place of transition should be in the ocean, At last the chief countries of the world agreed that the'change of the day should take place along a line drawn nearly north and south through the Pacific Ocean. This is called the date line. Unde; this, arrangement the new,day is considered to make its ad­vent o;> Easter Island. This island is west of Chile, and. about a, third of the. distance between that country and New Zealand. Thus, when it is Sunday an the American continent it le Monday on Easter Island, That island and tho places of the west of it along the date line always keeps ahead of us one day.

Tree Grows Dread and Towels.

The moat wonderful tree that grows is found in the Pacific Islands From this tree the natives procure towels, cloth, tinder and bread. It Is about as tall as a three-story house, am! the branches, which come out straightfrom the tree like so many arms, are covered with leaves and fruit not unlike apples in appearance. This fruit ia used os breaii, and it is in season during eight months of the year, the natives find­ing a good living in It.

As for glue, it oozes from tha trunk of the tree, and is found useful for many purposes; tho leaves make excel­lent towels for the natives who care to use them, and from, the Inner bark of the tree a kind of coarse cloth can bo made. Beside:, this, its dried blossoms are used for tinder in lighting llres, and the wood is in great demand for building purposes.
