Fire!” Scores, hundreds, of voices caught up and repeated the dreadful warning, nntil the vast lome of the great Ex position building at Chicago echocd them back, +g if in scornful mockery. A police officer, whose watchful eye bad dete ted a slight blaze in one of the £-\}3 D1da40 11 0OL0 OL Uc magnificent beoths, caused ly a spa k from the electric lamp, had raised the first crv. Tts repetition was the work of the throng of visitors, which, notwithstand ing the circumstence that the evening was far alvanced, still lingered in the enticing place. The incipient blaze, fed by laces from far-famed Valenciennes and rich Gobelin tapestries, became almost instantiy a mass of seething lame. With fearful rapidity the fire-fiend ex tended his domain, his voracious appe tite increasing as his huge red month licked up costly fabr cs and destroyed elegant fittings, until, to the practiced eves of cool-headed men who had wit. nessed the great confleration which had ove time destroyed the Garden City, the enormous structure in which the last of a long cerics of annual exhibits was be ing held, appeared doomed to speedy and compl: te destruction. Confusion reigned supreme; children gcreamed, women 3 M and men ran wild'y about, seeking an e.ress, and breaking windows to facilit te their es Sape from a seeming frigh!ful doom. But high up above the panic, flame and smoke, above the arched roof, above all save the clear vaulted heavens, s'ood three persons who seemed in imminent danger of meeting an awful death. By means of the elevator that pierces the roof of {the monster bui'ding they had gained a bigh position, from which vant age ground the beautiful lake, gleawing bene.:th the beams of the full effulgent harvest-moon, like a mass of molten sil ver stretched out before their eyes, “We are lost, father,” and a young lady, in whose form and face nature seemed to have blended in rich profusion her rarest charms, as she clung convulsively to the arm of a gray-haired, rather feeblelook ing old man. “Lost! No! no! Berenice!” shouted he. “The elevitor——" “Is deserted! The flames surround the shat, We are left to die here alone ” The old man looked downward and gave ulterance to a cry of despair as the glance verifie 1 the word: of his da ghter. “This woy!” shouted he a moment later, and dashed overthe railing towards a flight of stairs which descended from the tower to the 100f proper. There the old man pansed that his daughter might precede him, When well-nigh down, ber dress caught upon a projecting corner, and, with a cry of terror, she fell forward. With a gpasm of horror which rendered him hey alike of sheach or motion. the old man saw his daughter sliding down the arched metal 100f of the build ing. Her infancy, pratiling childhood, vouth, and bndding womanhood passed 1:ks a lightning-painted panorama Ree his eyes, and he c'o ed them to shut out the seemingly inevitable fate of her he leved next to idolatry, At that instant a form rushed past him, It was that of a young man who, like his daughter and himself, had been gaz ing upon the beauties of the moonlit lake. “Save her!” pleaded the fond old fath. er, hope restoiing his power of speech. Without a word, a look, the young man projected himself forward and downward toward the place where Bercnice was clinging to a small ornamental cupola. Che saw him, an | with 1e2ewed courage tightened her grasp. » But her fingers twitched convulsively, . and her face, white as the moonlizht in which it was bathed. told plainer than words that her strength was almost gone, The o'd man uttered a groan of agouy, for to his excite 1 mind her heroic would be rescuer coul { but join her in a fright« ful death npon the pavement, far beneath. With rpidly accelerating speed the youth sped downward. With a dexterity which bespoke both agility of muscle and coolness of Drain, he caught the small cupola and came to a stop. At the eame instant the slender jew. eled hard relaxed, and the form of the now unconscious girl began moving on ward toward certain death. Rut fair Berenice St, Cyr had in store a fate other than destruction; clouds, darkness, and tears were soon to gather like the mockery of an aursclo around her sunshiny head, yet death was not to be her portion. The yonng man noted ber deadly peril, pnd seized her wrist. Then, with an al most superhuman efiort, in which every per e and muscle played its part, he drew her upward to a point of temporary safe'v. | In the meantime, the fire engine and hook-and-ladder company, which are housed at the north end of the Jong building, had arrived and made short work of the fire, but rot until the de vouring element had wrought damage to the extent of scores of thousands of dol. las, Shonts from the throng, which in the briefest possible time had grown to thou ands, now attracted the attention of the gallant firemen fo the imperiled twain above, Ladders, to whose length there seemed no limit, rose as if through the Nor ey ge! am I. TT rr TTY) QUATRAINS, EY NINETTE M. LOWATER, But not even to the powerful srms of the ckilled and intrepid “fire 1nddies” did the Sonne man consign his precious burlen, Instead, he bore her away him self, and, amid the enthusiastic plaulits of the vast crowd which filled Michigan avenue, carried her sufely down the tall ladder. “God bless you!” cried Mr. St, Cyr, in fervent tones, as he joined our hero a moment later, “You have saved my child, my all. This way, John.” In response to the direction, a band pome carriage wag driven through the curious, pressing people, to the curb slone, “Lift her in, please,” continued the old gentleman, as he swung open the door. The other comp'ied, and a moment later, clear of the crowd, the trio so strangely unite 1 in one patty, were being whirled rapidly away to the southward. Before an elegant mans on in Calumet avenue the vehicle came to a stop. But little had been said during the short drive. Fully restored to conscions necs, but nervous from her recent shock and peril, Berenice had lain in the arms of her {rembling but joyous parent. “Come,” said the latter, as he led the way toward the broad threshold. “Please excuse ms,” returned the young mean, lifting his hat. “The lady i& hap pily restored, I can do—" “Nothing!” interrupted Mr. St. Cyr; “but you can give us an opportunity to ex press our {hanks for the inestimable ser vice you have rendered us. Come!” On the point of rereating his declina tion, our hero turned his eves upon the fair girl whose life he had so recently saved at the peril of his own. A strange thrill pervaded his frame as his glance rested opon her face, half shy, pleading. but wholly beautiful, and fas cinating beyond all he had been fated to look upon. A momentary glance info the dark tube of a camera obscura, and one’s fea tures, to the smallest detail, are fixed for all time. . The convex glasses of the photographer are not truer or clearer than the thoughts and purposes of a right-minded young man, and the delicate chemical plate no more sensitive to impressions than is the sympathetic, grateful heart of a girl. What marvel, then, that one exchange of gl nces g.va a new direction to the impulses of Loth? The young man bowed, and followed h's fair though silent persnader up the mar ble steps. “This is our home,” said Mr. 5t, Cyr, as with a hospitable wave of the hand le ushered his gnest into the drawing-room. And such a home! The young man had expected to see elegance, but the rich. nees of the scene quite aston shad him, and bespoke a weslth with which he had never before been brought in contact, “Let us go to the library, father,” sug gested Berenice. “It's fur cozier there.” straws are said to show from wh'ch direction the wind is blowing, and thse alacrity with which the father acquiesced was sufficient to convince the young man that the daughter was the iuler of the mansion. Assuming the office of guide, the bean tiful girl led the way through a number of large apartments Juxur antly furnished, and glowing with the richest hues of art, to the apartment she had suggested. Tt was indeed a cozy place. Two sides of the room wera covered with books, and cn the third an ojen firs burned brightly. “This is father's den,” announced Berenice, as she pointel to a revolving desk and a steel safe, which stood beside it. “I can’t make him «ive up business.” “Now, daughter,” s.id the old gentle man reproachfully. “At least not qu te,” corrected she. “You shall decide the matter, Mr,-—" “Winters,” spoke up the young man a3 the other paused; “Cole Winters. 1 should have mentioned my name before,” “No, yon shouldn't,” declared pretty Bereniee, “The fault was ours—we never gave you a chance.” “It's not yet too late to be polite,” said the host, smiling. “Fe seated, plea e, and favor us with a more complete intro duction, Mr, Winters.” “I can add but litt'e to what 1 have gaid,” remarked the young man, as he ac cepted the proffered easy-chuir, “My life has been uneventful. I have nothing besides my name.” “A nami—that 1s, a good name—is a fortune in itself,” sail the cold man, en couragingly.” “1 was born in Central Illinois, and am just twen'y-two,” Cole went on. “My parents both died when 1 was quite young, leaving me some little property as an inheritanca. All of this was expended on my education. About three mor ths ago I completed my college course, and ec meto Chicago to seek an opening in life.” “And have been successful?” queried Mr. St. Cyr. “On the contrary, I have failed at ev ery turn. 1 had contemplated following the law, and sought a place in the office of an attorney. This I could have readily secured, but no one would pay me any salary with which to support myself, Then I sought a mercantile position, but wag unable to secure one, as I had hal no experience as a clerk. After this I aspired to no particular line, but ought anv kind of honorable employment.” “And failed at all points?” “Something worse. A private banker hired me for a yeir. 1 grew suspicious of him and his methods; and discovering h'm to be engaged in a dishonorable business, quilted hm after working a month, {or which I received no compen sation.” “And besides losing your salary you have made an enemy?” “Exact'y.” “Whst 1s his name?” “Max Morris,” “Ha!” ejaculated Mr. St. Cyr. “The friend and former pariner of Almon Gears!” “The game. I've oflen seen Mr. Sears in his private office.” “This Almon Sears is the son of an old and valued friend, who died years ago, leaving him penniless. 1 loved him for his father, gave him every educational advautage, started him in bus ness, and, had he proved in all respects worthy, ] had even designed —" The speaker paused as he caught a glimpse of his daughter's pale face. “. “He contemplated marrying him to bis daughtar,” was Cole's ment .1 comment. “Enough of him!” said tha old man, with a slight show of petulance. “Pardon the interruption.” “1 have ro more to tell. My stock of money being exhausted, I snpported my self by doing copying at a beggnrly price. To-night I visited the Exposition, in the hope of securin 1 a place. Falling in that, I ascended to the observatory, where 1 had the good fortune to be of some small service.” “A service which nothing can repay!” cried the old mun with a fond look at his rescued child. “I likeyou, Mr. Winters — like your honest face and the integrity of vour heart and m'nd, as revealed in your frank, open story.” “Yon flatter me, sir, " faltered Cole, his embarrassment heightened bythe look of 1 CHAPTER 11. AN AWFUL AWAKENING. slessure beaming on Berenice’s admiring | race. | “Not a particle. You have told Fo" story; let me reciprocate in kind. For ha!f my life I have been an active busi ness man of Chicago. This is my daugh ter'’s eighteenth birthday. Some {ime ago I promised her that when this day came 1 would abandon all business and devote the remaining years of my wid owed life to her, my ei child. “Ths I have onl; been able to accom plish in part. I have withdrawn from two firms in which I was interested, and the proceeds, $509,000 in bonds, are now in that safe.” The enormous sum mentioned, to gather with its unexpec'ed proximity to im, caused Cole Winters a sudden start of ps se. In this action he was not alone. The curious glance he cast at the cube of polishad steel, which held secure behind its bo!ts and bars and massive locks more than a king’s ransom, was duplicated b. a pair of dak ginister eyes’ iter gleamed at the lower part of one of the windows behind the backs of tHe inter ested trio. ; : “I have fully twice as much mere safe ly invested in ; ood payiog real estate,” Mr, &t. Cyr went on. “These bonds draw only a very low rate of interest, and I am desirous of changing them to houges and other rentable property. This, my contract w th my daughter, prevents me from attending to in person,” “I'm glad you remember your obli za tions, father,” smiled Berenice. “In a week we are to leave for New York, from where we will soon «ail for a tour of £urope. Ih:ve as yet no agent to reinvest my money and care for my property during my absence. You seek employment. I will pay you $3,000 a year. ls it a bargain?” “My dear sir— what can I say? I have had no experience—-" “Experience an honest man can easily acquire, while experienced men seldom turn honest. You are bright, energetic, sincere. Is it a bargain?” Besides the father and davghter, the person at the window awaited the re gponse. “If you think me competent, sir, I will not otherwise disappoint yon ” “Enough!” bis | Mr. §t, Cyr, extend ing his hand. “We will settle the de tails to-morrow. In tho meantime ac | cept and promi e to wear this as a memento of this day. It belonged to my only son, long since deceased.” Tha speaker removed and handed out hero a curiously wroug!t old-fashioned ring, richly set with diamonds : nd rubies. “What is it, gir?” asked a servant who had entered the apartinent in response to sn electrical bell which his master had | tonched. | “Some refreshments, John. Serve them here, and ng quickly a: possible.” The man looked curiously at the ring which Co'e was in the act of pla~ing up on his finger, and withdrew, Half an hour later the little company | separated for the night. “Master must think a power of that young man to give him that ring,” mused . John, as he went sleepily do wn the stairs | sfter having shown Cole Winters to the most sumptuous guest-chamber in the whole mansion. | It was long before sleep visited the eye | lids of our heroine, whose happy, inno cent heart kept beating time to a new and | glorious measura —first love. | ~ When, at last, slumber locked fast her | outer senses, the new-lorn sentiment | controlled ber half formed thoughts, and dreams of Cole Winters floated through ker brain. Again she heard the startling cry of fire, and with fust failing strength saw | our hero—-her hero, as well—risking his life to save her. “He'p! Help! Murder!” From a vision at onca awful and fasci | nating, she was awakened by these dread ful wo:ds. | They proceeded, as she thought, from | the library, where she had go re ently spent one of the pleasantest hours of her | brief life, | In an instant; almost, she was there. Day had broken, and objects were dis | tinctly visible, | The outery had emanated from the eervant, John Kedzie, who stood in the | doorway, a look of horror depicted on { his face, | Rushing past him, Berenice saw chairs overturned, the safe open, and papers scattered atont. “Burglary!” she gasped. “Worse!” said John Kedzie, in a hoarse whisper, She followed with her eves the direc. tion indicated by his trembling finger, and raw a sight that fairly froze her young bluod, and deprived her of the use of her facult'es. Before her upon the floor, a frightfnl | wound in his throat, lay the lifeless body of her beloved father, Paul 8t, Cyr. [TO BE CONTINUED, ) Hic Table Etiquette Faulty, The Sultan never uses a plate. He takes all his food direct from the little kettles, and never uses a table, and rarely a knife, fork or spoon--his bread, a pancake, or fingers are found far handier. It requires twice as many slaves as there are courses to serve a dinner to him. The whole household is at liberty to take meals where it suits him or her best, and thus every one is served with a small tray, with a spoon, a great chunk of bread, and the higher ones only get the pancakes. . Nearly one ton of rice per day is re quired for the inevitable pillaffe, 600 pounds of sugar, as much coffee, to say nothing of the other groceries, fruit, vegetables, and meat. Rice and mutton and bread form the greater part of the food for the majority of Turks, together with fish, sweetmeats, con fectionery, nuts, and dried and fresh fraits. That there is enormons waste and extravagance in the kitchens is ob vions, and it is said that enough is thrown away daily to maintain 100 families; but such waste is perhaps not confined fo a Turkish royal household, and might also be found in kitchens nearer home. : The surplus is gathered up by the beggars, with whom Constantinople abonnds, and what remains is eaten hy the scavenger dogs. : All the water for the Sultan's use and the drinking water for the house hold is brought in barrels from two pretty streams at different places in the Bosphorus toward ‘he Black Sea.

The south-bound passenger train No. 12, ou the Fuon Mountain division of tha Mis sour! Pacific Railroad, which leit Coffeyville at 6 3) o'clock iv the evening, Was held np and thoroughly robbed by flve masked men at Seminole Station in the Indian Territory, five miles south of Coff-yville, The switch lock was broken and the train ran in‘e the giding, on which a box car was standing, on which was a red lantern. The point of the robbery is a small station on the open prairie. : The engineer, James Harris, was care fully guarded by one of the men with a WVin chester, while the rest proceeded (0 rob the mall and express ears and every pi-sange on the train from the smoker to the sleeper. The leader was a tallman who went through the cars an relieved the frightenel passen gers of their money and valuables while the party kept up a fusiiade with their Winches tors and revolvers, They evidently gocured a large amount of booty. A party of young peoples fromn Coffeyville, who were driving, set in their conveyauce ¢ ose to the scene and witn ssad the affair, They were the first fo being the news of the robbery to town. Several gentlemen of | Coffeyville who do business in the Teriitory were on the train and were victims of the brigands, Fortunately no ons was injured by the shooting, which was all done by the robbers, One young map, who was in the smoker, got up as the robbers came in and walked aheud of them through the different oars iu the hope of avoiding them. When they got to the rear of the last car they caught him, took his watch aud #17 and made him jump off. He walked back to Coffeyville but was too badly rattled to de scribe the affair, They beid the train about an hour and a half, and the rear lights on the car could ba geen from the Missouri Pacifle yards while the train was being gone through.

TO SHOOT THE MAYOR. INDIAN TERRITORY Governor Fishback Says It Is a pesort of Criminals LETTER T0 THE PRESIDENT Many of the Recent Bank and Train Robberies Are Said to Have (1 ig! nated There-=Time the Gove ernment Asserted Its Right of Eminent Domain. ul AetliiiRs RN AREER" "F ttovernor Fishback, of Arkansas, has ad dressed the following open letter to Presi. dent Cleveland : To the Presideni, Dear Bir: Develop. ments incident to the receat ican robbie y and murder at Oliphant, in this ray ders it proper, it seems to me, | f call your aft-ntion to the dangerous relation which the Indin Territory, west of us, oc cuples to the States of the Union, ani es. pecially to the adjacent States of Arkansas, Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma Territory. Upon the person of one of the captured robbers was found the map of the route they had taken from the Indian Territory, 175 miles, to the scene of the robbery and also a map of the country around Chattanooga, Tenn., showing that another robbery was contemplated at or near that city. It alco nppezrs that the captured leaders are noted characters in this business and in veigled some very respectable citizens along the borer into this robbery. 1 have good 1easons to suspect that a very large percent. ago of the bank and train robberies which take place west of the Alleghenies and east of the Rocky mountains are organized or or ixinated in the Indian Territory. Letme add aleo that the refuge this sparsely settled ren. dezvous of outlaws affords to eriminals is a constant temptation to ¢rime in all the coun try around, During the past twelve months there have issued from the States of Arkanses, Texas, Kansas apd Oklahoma Territory sixty-one requisitions upon the Indian Territory au thorities for fugitives, while we have reason {0 believe that as many more are hiding among their comrades in crime in this asy lum of criminals, Those criminals who find refuge in this Territory are rapidly convert. ing the Indian country into a school of crime, They are demoralizing the Indlavs and are especially stirring up the young Indians to deeds of blood and theft, Young Henry Starr, for example although lase than twenty years old and of fine capacities, bas Leen charged with almost every crime in the cata. logue aud is now under sentence of death jor murder, ‘The records of the federal courts of Paris and Fort fuwith reveal a elart ling story in this direction, yet they do uot tell one-tenth of the whole story, Prior to the late civil war I re gided in the city of Fort Smith, cn the border of this Ter ritory. The merchants of the place did kal a million dollars’ worth of buginess in that country every year. Their checks would make periodical collections, traveling openly and known to have large sums of money with them, yet nobody was ever molested, Travel was safer than in the States, Now, according to the estimates of ons of {be newspapers, published a year or two since in Muskegee, the number of murders reached the appalling figure of 200 in one year that were not cognizable in the federal courts, The federal jail at Fort Smith is at all seasons nearly full of prisoners from this Territory, and the federal court holds sessions continuing through nearly every month of the year. This state of seml-chaos and the farces of government which exist in this | Territory, rendering it a constant menace to the peace and order of all the States of the Mississippi Valley, suggests the very serious question whether the time has not arrived for ths federal government to assert its right of eminent domain over this part of the na tional domain and to change its pelitical re Jations with the United States, I can think of no valid reason upon which fo base the opinion that an Indian's rights either of per gon or property, are apy more sacred than those of the white man, which it is conceded must give way to the public good. In this ease not only the public good, but vublic ea’ely, as well as the highest interests of the Indian himself demand thesuggesied shange. Very respectfully, W. M.

HIGHLAND RECORDER. Terms: $1.50 a Year in Advance. Issted every Friday evening by W. Ii Matheny, ventisine ——— Bhtered st the Monterey postoilice as second class matter, _——T = ——— a Monterey, Va. Sanhaly, 8 (804. Sera ae WASHINGTON LETTER, [From our Regular Corresponden’.] their families, in accordance with a custom as old as- our government, devoted New Years day to recep tions, offlcial and general. For about 4 hours a procession com posed of the diplomatic representa tives of all the foreign govern ments, membars of the cabinet, the justices of the Supreme Court, Con gressmen, Army and Navy officers, minor officials and the general pub lic poured through the White House where they were received by President Cleveland assisted by Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Stephenson, the ladies of the cabinet and sever ‘al guests of Mrs. Cleveland, includ ‘ing the wife of ex-Gov. Russell of Massachusetts and Miss Benedict, «of N. Y. Later, receptions were ‘held at their several residences by Vice President anl Mrs. Stephen ~son, and by members of the cabinet and the ladies of their families. ~~ Nearly:all of the Congressmen “have returned. There was a quo -rum of both House und Senate at ‘the White House reception todav. By freely circulating among the rctarned members of the House your correspondent endeavered to ascertain whether conference with their constituents had increased or decreased the opposition to the Wilson tariff bill. In one respect -1t is apparent that it has increased it. That is there are more demo «crats who will endeavor to secure, in the caucus to be held, modifica tions of various clauses of the bill. But as nearly ail of them announce while stating their intentions that will whether successful in getting the bill modified or not, support the bill, it is clear that their oppo sition does not go beyond that which is perfectly .e:itimate for strict party men to occupy toward a party measure not yet approved by a party caucus, and does not jeopardize the final success of the bill as adproved by the caucus. Senator Voorhees is getting a heavy mail these days. and not a few of his contain requests for hearings on the tariff before the Senate Finance committee of wiich he is chairman. None of these etlers have spec'ficially answered, because he believes that a circular letter which be is now having sent out; containing thirty odd printed q estons and requesting a reply to each, will enable nine-tenths of his correspondent {o lay before the committee all the information in their possession relating to the ef fects of tariff upon their business just as well as they could if given a personal hearing. It is not his desire to cut any one out of a hear ing and those desiring to furnish information not embraced by the printed questions will, where their ‘prominence as manufacturers or business men justifies it. be given personal hearings. Representative Holman has not issued the call for a democratic caucus, but it is expected that he will do so this week. ~ It is known that President Cleveland has lately given eonsid erable attention to the selection of a new public printer and it is be lieved that he has picked out the mon and that his nomination will go to the Senate in a few days, probably this week. Rumor has connected the name of Chief Clerk Daniels of the Interior department with the position. Mr. Daniels was not an appiicant for the position, but his experience as editor and publisher of newspapers in North Carolina - qualifies him therefor shounld it turn out he is the lucky man. Nearly every democratic Benator and Representative has a I A Ee Y= =i. A, ~ aw ing cabinet resignations are being sent out by republican correspon dents. There is just about as much truth in them as in those which have been periodically sent out by the same men ever since the present administration came in. No action is expected in the [{ouse concerning the finances of the government until after the tariff bill has been passed. In fact the Ways aud Means committee, which will prepare whatever finan cial bill that may be determined up on, will not have an opportunity to devote any time to the matter un til the tariff is out of the way. Representative Springer wishes it understood that his bill for a new national currency, which was made public a few days ago, is simply his own idea. The subject has not been considered by the committee on Banking and Currency of which he is chairman. His principal ob ject in making the bill public was to invite criticisms and sugges tions. Levi Floyd Hite, son of George W. and Ciscelia Hite, was born Oct. 30th. 1854 and died at his home, on Jackson's River, on the 20th day of Dec. 1893. The deceased by his uniform ‘kindness, his noble, consistent and upright life, had won many friends and he will be sadly missed, not on ly by his family and relatives but ‘by his neighbors and many friends as well. He was a dutiful son, a loving husband and a kind father, nnremittingly laboring for the good of those dependent upon him for support. + The bereaved cones, will no more greet him at the th-eshold of the un pretentious bat ple sant home, as they were accustome !to do when returning from his da, s labor, but if they follow his example, when their work on earth is ended, he will welcome them in that better home where nc farewell tears are shed. About 15 years before his death, ke wus converted and received into the M. E. Church South, by Rev. H. D. Bishop, of which church he remained a faithful member, until death, testifying a short while be fore his death, to the satisfaction afforded him in his consciousness of forgiveness of sin. He leaves surviving him his wid ow and six children, his aged mother and three sisters. A Friexp Diep, at his home near Meadow Dale in Highland Co Va. on the 24th day of December 1893, Frank McNulty aged 66 years 2 months and 1 day. Of the subject of this notice it ‘may be truthfully said, a good man as passed from labor and suffering to his rich reward, Mr. McNulty was a man of sterling christian character, unob trusive and retiring in his manners and habits, but a man of strong convictions and the courage to ex press and defend them when nec essary, always found upholding what he conceived to be right and condemning what he believed to be wrong. He could not tolerate half way measures, yet he was al ways open t2 conviction and when convinced no one was more will ing to acknowledge it than he. That he possessed the confidence of bis countrymen was shown by his holding as their gift and with out solicitatiod from him, almost all his maturelife, some position of honor and trust in the faithful discharge of which he was never known to falter. He had been a consistent member and active rul ing elder in the Presbyterian Church for many years. Of few men could it be said with greater truth that he served the Lord from principle. He held himself far above petty sectarian influences which so often mar the peace of the Lord's Kingdom on earth. He leaves a widow and five chil dren to mourn their loss, who have the sympathy of the large con course of friends and others who were present on the sad Christmas day to them, at the funeral.

We take the following from a Pocahontas letter: Aunt Belle Wallace died at her home at Dun more, W. Va. on the last Friday in Dec.mber, aged 55 years. She was the mother of Paul Brown's wife of Monterey, and had returned from waiting on her daughter through a long illness, when she took sick and died. Our friend W. A. Slaven while on a hunt for game during the holidays killed a red fox near Mon terey which from the fact that it ‘had a leather collar tightly buck Jed around its neck it is supposed to have been somebody's pet, pre ferring to run at liberty rather ‘than to subordinate his fondness for chicken to the will of his would be fox tamer, Little Mamie Brock, daughter of Chas.

She was burried at the home of her grand-parents, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hevener, at which place she had .iade her ‘Thome. On Sanday, Dec. 24th about 4 o'clock p. m. several persons at ‘and near Monterey and at McDow ell and vicinity heard a strange wiise'which they were not able to give a satisfactory account of. The sound seemed to come from the air above, which is unlike the rumbling of an earthquake and was different from any noise they had ever heard before. On the same day earthquake shocks were felt in Pennsylvania but it is not likely this was the cause of the strange noise heard here.

Jan. 3, 1894,— Christmas holidays came and went very quietly here. The schools were all closed, Central Sunday School had a Christmas tree and appropriate lit ‘erary and song exercises on Wed ‘nesday night. The handsome church was elegantly decorated. Santa Claus was out in all his glory and the little folks had quite a treat. Students Wm.

McDowell society is not overly gay and festive, so we all thorough ly enjoyed the little festives of our holidays. Tuesday evening, up wards of thirty from our village found their way to the Xmas tree and Oyster supper at Doe Hill. To say that we all enjoyed it, would he feebly expressing the senti ments of each one of the “McDow ell crowd.” And to judge from ap ‘pearances and current reports, that part of the crowd which designa ted itself as “the people” had a hil arions time. A straw ride during the Xmas holidays seems a little out of season, but “the people” say it is alright, and we will concede the point for they ought to know. The entertainment and the tree were both enjoyed. The entertain ent was a friendly contest between the various holidays for best place, of course Xmas won. as the chil dren did the deciding of the ques~ tion, but we must acknowledge there was a tender spot mm our heart for Thanksgiving. Old San ta Claus behaved himself with be coming dignity, and we thought with some partiality, but we were mistaken in that, he had only re served something for the tree here Wednesday evening. Xmas din ners with all manner of good things were served at several of the homes. The festivities were hapily closed with a splendid supper and a pleas ant evening at Mr. McClungs. Miss Sallie Rivercomb and Mr. G. A. Walace from Williamsville, Miss Sieg McClung from Clover Creek and Mr. 8. Wilson from Staunton spent a few days of the holidays with us.

A remedy has been found which cures chronic diseases: not in every case, but in a large percentage of her, And in cases too far gone for cure, it affords relief and often prolongs life. Many who have ‘been given ovar by physicians have been prevailed upon by friends to try this remedy, the Compound Oxygen Treatment of Drs. Starkey & Palen, of Philadelphia, and are now living to testify to its curative powers. 1t has been successful in curing many cases of catarrh, ma larial fever, hay fever, asthma bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros tration, and other chronic diseases. [n these diseases physicians have had little success, as the name they have given fo this class of disorders indicates, but Compound Oxygen has worked wonders, There is only one genuine Com pound Oxygen, and any substance made elsewhere or by others than Drs.

NERVOUS FRENCHMAN, Kome Comical Stories of Signor De Begnls, the Ringer. nL aE Among Mr. Lester Wallack's Memories” are some relating to “the mosy nervous creature” he e er saw, Signor De Begnis, a singer, who came over to the United States in the same ¢hip with Mr. Wallack and his father in 1838. He was about six feet in height, portly aud pompous, and wore a huge velvet cloak and a black velvet cap. His grand appearance made his childish ignorance and cowardice all the more amusing. Everything he saw filled him with wonder, which he expressed without reserve, Two nights after the ship sailed, the captain, thinking it was coming on to blow, sent aloft vo shorten sail. De Begnis was excited. “Oh, ah, mon capitnine de man! What he go up dere for? Why hego up the pole” ‘‘He is going up to reef the top eall,” replied the captain. “To do what?" “To reef the topsail.” “To reefa de top of de sail? In de dark? Mon Dieu! now he go higher, and witbout a candle.” He was ne er seasick, but was so timid that he was happy only in a dead calm. When the rest of the passengers were scolding about the delay he would say: “Ah, it is beautiful, it is a callum to-day. Iam not afright. When it blow I am afright. To-day it isa callum, and I go to play reest.” Mr. Wallack, who was then hardly more than a boy, used to climb to the mizzentop with a book in his pocset, and sit there with his arm around a rope and read by the hour. The first time that De Begnis caw him going up the shrouds he shouted: “‘Ha' look at de young Wallack' Don't go up dere, you fools. Suppose de strings was to broke!” One night it was blowing bhard,and the ship was ‘‘taken aback.” Mr Wallack’s father, being an old sailor, knew what iv meant, and sung out to the steward: “Shut in the deadlights!” The next morning the sea had gone down. and De Begnis, who had been dreadfully scared, said: “1 was not the only one afright. There was the old Wallack, he was afright. 1 hear him call to de stew ard to give him a light, to die Ly.” On the first day out, when the ship was ‘vn the wind,” lying pretty well over, 1'e Begnis, only half-dressed, stuck his head inte the main cabin and said: “Steward! where is de steward? Aska de capitaine why the ship she goes so crook! Tell him de Signorfte Begnis cannot shave!” Standing one day beside the wheel, he said: “What that man 'he do, h2 turnde wheel around?” «He steers the vessel,” the captain answered. “What is dat he keep a-lcoking at lixe a fool” “That is the compass. He watches the compass and steers the vessel by it.” “Ha! dat 1s a umpick” [humbug “How do you suppose we find our way across the ocean then?” asked the captain. “You get de ship by de shore, you put up de sail, de wind she blow, and you go dis way and dat way, some. times de straight way, and after a while you get dere by chance, God knows how! And yet you tell me dat de man he makes her go straight when he turn de wheel round! I"Tmapick! Al anniek!” Brushing Clothes. ‘A man who always looks well with but a limited wardrobe says: “The finest clothing in the world won't make a man look well if his eollar or cuffs are soiled. On the other hand, if the linen is clean and fresh, if the plothes are well brushed and if there is a flower in the button-hole one al ways looks presentable. But whisk brooms simple ruin clothes; :yGu shoula have a good bristle brush, not too stiff. Then brush as often and as much as vou like, and your clothes will look the better anl wear the better for it. This is of especial in. terest to women, because they have to look out for the stock of clean linen and too often apply the clothes brush.” Persistent Childhood. ' Alittle girl made a great clamor one hight, after she had gone to bed. insisting that a certain doll, named Elizabeth, should be breught up: stairs to her, after having commande her two or three times to keep quiet. “If I come up, Mary, I shall cer tainly whip you!” “A-all right, mamma,” said the little girl, as she choked back a sob, “and when yon come up, p-p-lease bring Elizabeth!” Another child, a boy, behaved sc badly that his father said to him: “My boy, I shall certainly have te buy a whip to punish you with.” “And after you've whipped me,” gaid the boy, his face lighting up, “may 1 have the whip to play horse with” MORE bread and fewer pravers for the hungry is what is nceled in the large cities. y Miss Ortencia KR Allen Sa'em, M.ch.

Subject: “The Morning Star.” A HIS 1S LAaristilas 1Lyo., Ull altltTidliVid ailil the attention of the world is drawn to the star that pointed down to the caravansary where Christ was born. But do not let us forget that Chrlst himself was a star. To that luminous fact my text calls us. It seems as if the natural world were anxious fo make up for the damage it did our race in furnishing the forbidden fruit. If that fruit wrought death among the Nations, now all the natural proiuet shall become a symbol of blessing. The showering down of the wealth of the orchard will make us think of him whom Solomon deseribes as the apple tree among the frees of the wood, and the flowers of tangled glen and cultured parterre shall be the dew glinted garland for the brow of the Lord Jesu=. Yea, even the night shall be taxed, and its hrightest star shall be sat as a gem in the corenet of our holy religion. Have youn ever seen the morning star ad vantageously? If it was on your way homa from a night's caronsal, you saw nons of its beauty. If you merely turned over on your pillow in the darkness, glancing out of the window, you know nothing about the cheeriul influence of that star. But thereare many in this houss to-night who in great passes of their life, some of them far out at sea, have gazed at that star and been thrilled throuzh with indescribable gladness. That star comes {rembling as though with the perils of the darkness, and yet bright with the anticipations of the day. It seems emo tional with all tenderness, its eyes fill with the tears of many sorrows, It is the gem on ~the hands of the morning thrust up to signal ite coming, Others stars are dim, like holy candles in a cathedral or silver beads count ed in superstitious litany, but this is a living stars, a speaking star, a historic star, an evangelistic star--hright and brilliante and triumphant symhol of the great Redeemer, Thetelegraphic operator pats his finger on tha silver key of the electric instrument, and the tidings fly acioss the continent, And so it seems to me that the finger of inspiration is placed upoa this silver point in the heayens, and it thrill through all the earth, ‘‘Be hold I bring yon gool tidincs of great joy to all people. Behold, T am the bright and morning star.” The meaning of my text is this: As the morning star precedes and Promises the coming of the day, so Christ eralds the natural and spiritual dawn, In the first place, Christ heralded the com Ing of tha creation, There was a time when there was no order, no zound or h3auty. No wing stirred. No word was utteral. No light sped. As far as Go1 could look up, as far out, there was nothinz, Immeasureabls solitude. Height and depth and length and br2adth of nothingness, Did Christ then exist? Ob, ves, “By him were all things made that ara made; things in heaven an things in earth ani things under the earth.” Yes, he antedated the creation, He led forth Arcturus and his sons, He shone hefore the first morninz. His voice was heard in the concert when the morning stars serenaded theadvent of our infant earth, when, wrapped inswaddling clothes of light, it lay in the “arms of the great Jehovah, He gaw the first fountain laid, He saw the first light kindled, That hand which was afterward erushed upon the cross was thrust into chaoz, andit brought out one world and swung it in that orbit, and brought out another world and swung it in another orbit, and brought out all the worlds anl swung them in their particular orbits, They came like sheep at the call of a shepoerd. They knew his volee, anl he called them all hy their names. Ob, it iz an interesting: thought to me fo know that Christ had some. thing to do with the creation, I see now why it was so easy for Him to change water ‘nto wine. He firat created the water, 1 3ee now why it was so easy for Him to cure the maniac, He first created the intellect, I gee now why it was zo easy for Him to hush the tempest, He sank Gennesaret. T seo ow why it was so easy for Him to swing fish int: Simon's net, He made the fish, TI 820 now why it was so easy for Him to give sight to the blind man, He created the optic nerve, I eee now why it was so easy for Him to raiss Lazarus from the dead. He created the body of Lazarus and the rock that shut him in. Some suppogethat Christ came a stranger to Bethlehem. Ob, no. He created the shepherds, and the flocks they watched, and the hills on which thaygiiibture], and the heavens that overarch eir heads, and the angels that chanted the chorus onthat Christ mas night. That hand which was afterward nailed to the cross, was an omnipotent and creative hand and the whole universe was poised on the tip of one of His fingers. Be fore the world was Christ was. All the world eame trooping up out of the darkness, and He greeted them, as a father greets his children, witha “good morning,” or a “good night.” Hail, Lord Jesus, morning star of the first creation. - Again, Christ heralds the dawn of comfort in a Christian soul, Sometimes we come to passes in life whers all kinds of tribulations meet uz, You ars building up some great enterprise, You have built the foundation — the wall—you are jnzt about to put on tho capstons, when everything is demolished, You have a harp all sirany for sweatest ac cord, anl some great agory crushes it "here is a little voice hushed in the house. hold.

Some bite their lip until the blood comes. Some wring their ! | ale hands. Some fall on their faces, Some fie on their backs helpless ani look up into what seeme¢ {o them an unbpitying heaven, Some pull their hair down over their eyes an 1 lcox through with a flend’s glara, Some, with both hands, press their hot brain and want to die ani ery, “0 God, O Gol” Lonz night, bitter night, stupendous nignt of the world’s enffering! Some kuow not which way to turn, Butnot so the Christian wan. He looks up towardthe heavens, He gaes a bright appearanes in the heavens. Can it be only a flashinz meteor? Can it he only a falling star? Can it be only a deln gion? Nay. nay. The longer he looks the mora distinet it becomes, until after awhile he cries out, “\ star—a morn ing star, a star oi comiort, a star of grace, a star of peace, the star oi the Redeemer!’ Peace for all trouble, Balm for all wounds. Life for all dead. Now Jesus, the great heart healer, comes into our home, Peace! Peace that passsth all understandinz. We look up through our tears. We are comforted, It is the morn ing star of the Redeamer. ‘‘Who broke of that ower?” said one servant in the garden to another. “Who broke off that flower?” And the other servant said, “The master.” Nothing more was aig, for if the master had not a right to break off a flower to wear over his heart or to set inthe vase of his mansion, who has a right to touch the flower? And when Christ comes down into our garden to gather lilies, shall we fight Him back? Shall we talk as though He had no right to come? If anv one in all the universe has a right to that which is beautiful in our homes, then our Master has, and He will take it and Ho will wear it over His heart, or He will set it in the vase of the palace eternal. ‘Tho Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away: hilacce i ha tha nama af tha L.ord VP Panes. the wind shall wait if, dL GyELy SEW =H shall bazome a transfiguration, and ths 82a will become the walking place of him wao {ro1 the wave cliffs of stormy Tiberias, ant the song of joy shall risetoward heaven, and the great sky will becoma a sounding poarl which shall strike back theshout of salvation to the earth until it rebounds again to the throne of the Almighty, and the morning star of Christian hopa will become the full gunburst of millennial glory. Again, Christ heralds the dawn of heaven unon every Christian's dying pillow. I sun pose you have noticed that the character istics of people in their healthy days are very apt to be their characteristics in their dying days. The dying words of ambitious Napoteon were, ‘Head of the army. The dving words of postic Lord Byron were, I must slesp now.” The dying words uf affectionate Lord Nelson were, “Kiss me, Hardy.” The dying words of Voltaire were, as he saw one whom he supposed to be Jesus in the room, “Crush that wretch,’ Put I have noticed that the dying words of Christians always mean peace. Generally the pain is all gone, and thers is great qu etude through the room. As ous ol taess brothers told me of his mother 10 the last moment: ‘She looked up and said, pointing to some supernatural being that seemed to be in the room, ‘Look at that bright form, Why, they have come for me now.'"” p The lattice is turned so that the light is very pleasant, It is peace all around, You ask yourself. “Way, can this be a dying room? It is so different from anything I ever expected.” And you walk the floor, and you look out of the window, an‘ you come back and look at your wateh, and you look at the face of the patient again, anl there is no change, except that the face is becoming more radiant, mora illuminated, Tho wave of death seems coming np higher {and higher, until it has touched the ankle, then it eomes on up until it touches the knee, and then it comes on up until it reaches the girdle, and then it comes on up until it reaches tha lip, | and the soul is about to be floated away into glory, and yout roll back the patient's slesve, and you put your finger on the pulse, and it is getting weaker and weaker, and the puis stope, and you hardly know whether the life has gone or not, Indeed, you cannot tell when she goss away, she goes away €o ealm l lv. Perhaps it is 4 o'clock in the morning, | and you have the bed wheeled arouni to the window, anl the dying ons looks out into the night sky, and she sees something ! that attracts her attention, and you wonder | what it is. Why, it is a star. It is a star that out of its silver rim is pouring a supernatural light into that dying experience. And you say, | “What is it that yoa are looking at?" She says, “It is a star.” You say, ‘‘What star is it that seems so wellto pleasa you?” “Oh.” she says, “that is the morning star—Jesus !” I would like to have my death bed under that evangelistic star—1 would like to have my eye on that star, so I could be assured of the morning. Then the dash of the surf of the sea of death would only be the billowing up of the promise, “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee, and | tho rivers, they shall not overflow thee.” All other lights will fail the light tbat falls from the seroll of fame, the light that flashes from the gem in the beautiful apparel, the light that flames from the burning lamps of a banquet—but this light burns on and burn’, on. Paul kept his eye on that morning sta’, until he could say: “I am now ready to hs offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” Edward Payson kept his eye on that star until he could gay, “The breezes of heaven fan me.” Dr. Goodwin kept his eye on that evangelistic star until he could say, “Iam gwallowed up in God.” John Tennant kept his eye on that evangelistic star until he could say, ‘‘Weleome, sweet Lord Jesus— welcome, eternity.” No other star ever pointed a mariner into so safe a harbor. No other giar ever sunk its silvered anchor into the waters, No other star ever pierced such aceumu’- ted cloud, or beckoned with such a holy luster. With lanterns and torches and a guide, we went down in the Mammoth cave of Ken tucky. You may walk fourteen miles and seo no sunlight, It is a stupendous place. Some laces the roof of the cave a hundred fest Risch. The grottoes filled with weird echoes, cascades falling from invisible height to in vigible depth. Stalagmites rising up fron the floor of the cave—stalactites descending from the roof of the cave, joining each other, and making pillars of the Almighty’s geulpturing. There are rosettes of atneinty in halle of gypsum. As the guide carries his lantern ahead of yon, the shadows have an appearance supernatural and spectral, The darkness is fearful. Two people, getting lost from their guide only for a few hours, years ago, were demented, and for years sat in their insanity. You feel like holding your breath as you walk across the bridges that seem to span the bottomless abyss, The gnide throws -his caleium light down into the caverns, and the light rolls and tosses from rock to rock and from depth to depth making at every plunge a new rev elation of the awfl power that could have made such a place as that. A gense ot sunocation comes upon you as you think that you ere 250 feet in a straight jine from the sunlit surface of the earth, Tho guide affer awhile taices yon inte what is called the “Star Chamber,” and then he says to you, ‘‘3it here,” and then ho fakes the lantern and goss dow. under the rocks, and it gets darker and darker, until the night jg go thizk that the hand an inch from thea eye is unobservable, And then, by kindling one of the lanterns an’ placing tin a cleft of the rock, thera is a reflection cast on the dome of the eave, anl there ara stars com ing out in eonstellations—a brilliant night heavens—and vou involantarily cxeclaim: “Beautiful! beautiful!” Then he takes the lantern down in other depths of the zav®rn, and wanders op, and wanders off, until he comes up from behind the rocks gradually and it seems like tho dawn of the mornin, and it gets brighter and brighter, The guide is a skilled ventriloquist and he imitates the voices of the morning, and soon the gloom is all gone, and you stand congratulating yourself over the wonderful spectacle. Well, there are a great many people who look down into the grave as a great cavern, They think it is a thousand miles subterraneous, and all echoes seem to be the voices of despair, and the cascades seem to be the falling tears that always fall, and the gloom of earth seems com ing up in stalagmite, and the gloom of the eternal world seems descending in thestalac tite, making pillars of indescribable horror. The grave is no such place at that to me, thank God. Our Divine Guide takes us down into the great caverns, and we have the lamp to our feet and the light to our path, and all the echoes in the rifts of the rock are anthems, and all the falling waters are fountains of salvation, and after awhile wa look up and, behold ! the cavern of the tomb has bezoms a king's star chamber.

He isa man of great wealth and the highest position in China—a man of such im portance, in fact, that he comes very near being a royal personage. About 50 years of age, short and stout, he moves with an air of self-possession characteristic of the high-bred. Chi nese.

There was one oversight at the Great Ex position at Chicago in not having in full view, by easy arrangement, some compara tive vital statistics of our own general health as compared with cther nations, and our scientific facilities for the relief of human suffering. Then it would have appeared how much we are misrepresented and how, even in all those minor ills which beset man kind, we are masters of cure and alleviation. In the line of general ailments which all nations have in common, such as rheumatic or neuralgie afflictions, there is no prompt and permanent cure in the world the equal of what we could have shown.
