EVENINGBusiness Men’s Game of Bas­

ket Ball Played Before Large Audience.

As stated in Tuesday’s issue, the county convention o f the Modern Woodmen whs held in Buchanan Wednesday. The delegations from the north end of the county came on the eight o’clock Pere Marquette train and were met by the reception com­mittee, Messrs Al. Emerson, Dr. H. M. Brodrick and O. P. Woodworth and headed by the city band escorted to tbe M. W. hjtll.

At eleven o’ clock ‘ the convention was called to order by Mr. W. F. Runner, clerk of Buchanan camp,and Mr. J. P. Beistle was made chairman and Mr. A. J. Baker, o f Colomo,secre­tary o f the convention.

The following committees were ap­pointed: Credentials, D. B. Souther­land, Pearl Grange; Wm. Gabel, St. Joseph; Frank Zerby,Berrien Springs; F. M. Van Horn, Benton Harbor and Horace Morley, Galien.

Order of Business, W. H. Stroup Niles; H. A. Feather. Hinchman; J M. Cunningham, Benton Harbor.

Resolutions, Dr. H. M. Brodrick Buchanan; J. T. Vanderveer, Coloma I. Rynearson, Three Oaks.

The convention then adjourned un­til one o’ clock, and in a body the delegates marched up to the Presby­terian church basement, where the Royal Neighbors had prepared sumptious dinner which was greatly enjoyed by all. Many were the com pliments extended to the Roya Neighbors for the very efficient man tier in which they served the meal and seated so large a number at one time, each being served without moment’ s delay.

At one o’ clock sharp the chairman galled the convention to order and the reports o f the various committees were read and adopted, follow ing which came the selection o f four del­egates to the state con vention which will be held in Owosso, May 6. There were nine candidates and after the ballot was taken it was found that O P. Woodworth, Buchanan;Dr. C. N. Sowers, Benton Harbor; Wm. Stroup, Niles and J T. Vanderveer, Coloma received the largest number o f votes and were declared elected The four receiving the next highest number were J. Fisher, Eau Claire; Wm. Shearer, Derby; Chas. Dewitt, St. Joseph and John Smee, Three Oaks and they were made the alternate delegates.

The subject o f a county M. W, A. picnic was brought up and it was de­cided that a picnic be held at St. Joseph at a date to be decided later.

The convention then adjourned, the eighty delegates all expressing themselves as being well pleased with the courteous treatment extended them by the local M. W. A. camp. The next convention will be held in Niles in 1905.

«;•In Kansas.

“ Say, Hiram, did you know that some;:0f them horticultural experi­menters were talking about crossing the strawberry with the milkweed so as to have strawberries and cream?”

“No, but I read the other day o f a bugologist who was trying to cross honeybees with lightnin’ bugs, so they could work at night,”

“ Pshaw! that’s nothin’ ,” put in the Kansas man; “ Why, out in Kan- aas they plant potatoes and onions in alternate rows, and that, makes the eyes o f the potatoes water, so they doh’tneedno irrigation^” — Ex.

Quite

BRILLIANT PLAYSa Number of Casualties But no

* Serious Accident.

The anxiously waited Wednesday, when the business men of the village were to play basket ball, finally ap­peared and the north and south side were arrayed against each other in joyous combat.

The day was an unpropitious one as it rained the greater portion, and was threatening toward evening, but as the night drew nigh the sky cleared. The opera.house was well filled with the champions of either side.

About 8:30 o’ clock, when,to strains of music by the band, the contestants marched out upon the floor,there was loud and prolonged cheering. The game began by the north side scoring the first point and they continued to be in the lead to the end. The play­ing was very vigorous, in fact so v ig ­orous that Attorney A. A. Worthiug- ton, o f the south side, was disabled by Cashier Herbert Roe, being pushed against his head, causing Mm to re­tire from the field.

The playing was again resumed with a some what lessened volume* of power but still enough to cause Dr. Orville Curtis near the end of the game to be retired from the field in a crippled condition. The two south siders were the only ones to leave the combat, what other casualties there were, were not reported, but no doubt next morning fonnd a number of business men with sore muscles.

Altogether it was a very pleasant game and what undue violence therewas, was due, no doubt, to lack of practice and knowledge of the game.

The two sides were represented as follows: North; H. H.Hosford, HerbRoe, Wm. Sparks, Sig Desenberg, D. F. Bower,

South; Chas. Pears, Dr. Curtis. Dr. Peck, A. A. Worthington, Glenn Smith.

-The score was 25 to 11 in favor of the north side.

During the intermissions, while the basket ball players were resting, the band rendered some excellent music.

The net proceeds for the band were about $40 and the boys want the bus iness men who so vigorously and cheer­fully played ball, as well as all who attended, to knj)w that they appreciate their efforts to help them.

Buchanan’sBusinessOpenings.Splendid opportunity for a

couple of good factories; two good brick buildings ready, waiting for occupation.

Under the above head we will pub­lish from time to time business op­portunities as we see them, and any one desiring information and address­ing the Record we w ill do all we can to furnish information desired.

Hon. E. L. Hamilton sends us a no­tice o f the competition examination for admission to the naval acadamy which will be in Niles next week A chance for the boys who wish to become naval heroes.

Common Courtesy.Common courtesy would demand of

a mao, who accuses another o f what he is not guilty, to at least, acknowl­edge he was wrong when he finds out that is the case.

A great many people do what they are ashamed o f having made known. A good way is to do only right then there is no need o f fearing publicity.

Plain Facts.It is remarkable how anxious peo­

ple are to prevent anything appearing in the paper that will reflect on them, regardless o f how much they deserve it, but as long as it hits the other fel­low they are anxious to have it spread.

We have been careful not to pub­lish anything that might injure any one or the village. We have often left out o f our columns articles that other newspapers grasp after, because we did not care to reflect on our town or its people.

Wreck on the Big Four.On Wednesday night near North

Manchester, Ind., there occured a frightful collision on the Big Four R. R., between a south bound freight and a passenger train going north. Two o f the train crew were killed and many trainmen and passengers injured.

Among the dead are Charles Seavey engineer, whose wife was Miss May W ilbur, whose girlhood was passed in Buchanan, she is the daughter o f Mrs, Abner Robinson. Concerning the accident the Palladium says:

The death o f Engineer Charles Sea­vey was learned here with profound sorro w. He was considered one o f the best engineers on the road and had been with the Big Four for many years! His run was at one time on this end o f the frieght, but he has been running on passenger at the south end for some years. He was married ten years ago to Miss May W ilbur of this city and invitations were received here last week for their tin wedding anniversary.

His young widow is left with five little children.

Engineer Seavey was frightfully mangled, one arm being completely severed from his body.

Just as the accident happened Sea­vey turned on the air brakes and sav ed the passengers probably from a horrible death. His fireman jumped to the right and escaped with a few injuries, Seavey jumped to' the left and was ground to death in the wreck­age.

New Families ExpectedThe change in the taking o f the

M. B R. & C. R R. into the Pere Marquette system, seems likely to ef­fect Buchanan favorably, as uncom firmed rumors say that some of tlie trains will be made up here and will lie here over night, so that the fam­ilies of the train crews w ill probably make their homes in Buchanan.

This will effect quite a number of people at least five men on eaeh train and their families will probably move to Buchanan.

Chinese Cooks in Manila.The Chinese cooks have their own

way of marketing. They do not go to the markets singly, each man buy­ing what his employer requires. In­stead, all the cooks in the city meet at a certain place eveiy morning, and each man tells what his family needs. A Chinese scribe writes each order down. The orders are then arrang­ed so that the scribe knows exactly how many chickens are wanted, how many roasts o f beef, how many legs o f mutton, how much o f each kind of vegetable, fruit, etc. Two experienc­ed buyers then go to the markets and buy all these things, which are after­wards divided fairly among the cooks.

Each one has his turn for getting the choicest things, and the cooks who have dinner parties to prepare for are allowed the best.— T h e H ouse hoLD fo r April.

♦S*A Wise Lad.

A Pittsburg teacher has a seven, year- old pupil whose mind is very fertile in invention.

Seeing an expression of pain on his face as he raised his hand, she asked, “What is it, Jamie?”

“I have such a bad headache I think I must go home,” was the reply. Putting her hand on his head, and finding it quite cool, she said, “I think it can’ t ache much, Jamie. You would better not go now.”

Jamie went back to his work, but soon his hand was raised again, and inquiry developed the fact that his tooth ached so severely that he felt he could not remain a moment long­er.

The teacher looked at his teeth, and finding them in remarkably fine condition, once more assured him that the pain was only imaginary, and returned to her class.

She had just become absorbed in the lesson when a wail from Jamie’a seat caused her to go to him again, and with some impatience she said, "W ell, Jamie, what can it be this time?”

With tears in his eyes, and raining down his cheeks, Jamie answered, “ Its stomach-ache, and that’s so far down you can’ t see it .” — April Wo­men' s Homo Companion.

AND . . .

Owosso, Mich., April 2.—The state fcamp of the Modern Woodmen of America will meet in this city May 6 and remain in'session two or three days. The 400 delegates expected will be elected at the county camps to be held throughout the state during April. The camp at Owosso will ^provide a swell banquet and other entertain­ment for the visitors. An important change is proposed in the laws of the order. A number of the more promi­nent and experienced officers have come to the conclusion that the present rates are too low to permit of a long-con­tinued existence.

Kates as XUey Now Exist.At present every Woodman pays a

level rate. That is. the amount of his assessment is the same from year to year • as when he „ first tbok out his policy. Head Consul W. A. North- cott and others high in authority say they can see the finish of the order if a readjustment be not provided, and the administrationists are urging the adoption of the step-rate plan.. At the present time an assessment for a mem­ber joining at the age of 25 is 40 cents on $1,000, and his rate will never in­crease if he continues to pay assess­ments until he is 70 years old.

How They Are To Be Changed.Under the administration’s plan of

readjustment, his assessment will be 44 cents plus 20 cents for reserve and fraternal benefits. Then, too, the as­sessment will increase a cent or two a month with each succeeding year, until in his 70th year it shall be $3.75 a month. This plan is not be­ing favorably regarded by the rank and file, and at the state camp an ef­fort vail be made to elect as delegates to the head camp men who are not in favor of such a radical bliange.

Opposition Is Organized.Some local camps, notably in Grand.

Rapids, have formed what they call the Majority Rule association, the membership in which is rapidly grow­ing in Michigan. The association is against any scheme for readjustment that a majority of the entire mem­bership of the order does not favor. The administration has been making some strenuous efforts to break up his inner circle, but in vain. It will prove a strong machine in the state meet­ing. -»■'

SHE TELES A THRILLING TALE

Girl Who Was Abducted by Fisherman and Kept in Durance for

Six Weeks.

Monroe, Mich., April 2. — Clemina Cornell, a oeautifnl girl of 15, has been brought back to her home in Erie, ten miles south of this place, aft­er an absence of six weeks, and An­thony Mominee, fishermen, 34 years old, found witji her, is in jail. The girl" tells a thrilling story of. abduction concealment and intimidation, which one is at liberty to believe, if he will, after hearing all of it. This is Clemi- na’s romance: Mominee, by threatsand promises, induced her to leave her home and go with him one night, and he took her to the home of Anton Cousino, five miles north of Erie.

He forced her to stay there with him ever since, compelling her to hide whenever any stranger stopped at the house, and threatening to kill her if she told on him. She was completely subdued and meekly obeyed him. But Clemina says that Mominee has been unduly intimate with her ever since she was 13 years old. Mominee has been married twice and both wives are alive. He was arrested and sent to jail for a month last summer for non-support of his present wife.

Contract Is Non-Enforcible.Detroit, April 2.—In the Wayne cir­

cuit court yesterday Judge J. AV. Dono­van directed a verdict for the de­fendant in the . suit brought by the Walton Salt company, of Algonac, Mich., against the National Salt com­pany, the so-called trust, to enforce a contract made with the Walton com­pany by the National Salt company, by which $1,000 per month was to be paid to the Algonac company for re­maining idle. The contract was made in 1899. Judge Donovan holds that the contract is in violation of the Sher­man anti-trust act, and therefore void.

In that part of the year'wliich we call spring, and which is a preface or preparer fur the warm weather, we may almost everywhere observe a startinginto activity— a gettingready for summer. This is especially tiue of April, At the farm house, in the fields, in the meadows,in the swamps, everything is preparing for warm weather. The barn has been dear to sheep, calves, cattle, horses during the winter, but now their attention is turning toward the life o f outdoors. And there is a gladness about it, a

adness that is shared by all - crea­tines, from fowls to horses. The young folks on the farm share in this.

Living things out o f doors are be­coming joyous, too. Everything in the fields is glad, from the liyla, our “ preacher o f spring,” to the blue­bird, the “ angel o f spring.” But it is the flicker that is most clamorous in his happiness. The hyla chatters with a shrill voice; the bluebird— what does he have to say on the sub­ject? Some one has translated it, Tru-el-ly, tru-el-ly, spring is here.— From Nature and Science in April St. Nicliola

Bank of the White House-One moonlight night in June, 1902,

while strolling through the grounds with Mr. Charles F. McKim, one o f the Park Commission, we seated our­selves ©n one o f those mounds which tradition ascribes to John Quiffcy Adams’ taste in landscape architect­ure. That afternoon crowds of peo­ple arrayed in joyous costumes befit­ting the semi-tropics had come from the hot city to rest under the trees and listen to the Saturday concert o f the {Marine Band. The musicians, clad in white duck, were located in a little depression, so that the sound of the music rolled up the slopes to the attentive audience.. A year before we had observed the same effect at Versailles; and both similaiities and the differences of the. two pictures were being discussed as we sat in the quiet night, behind the locked gates, where not a sound from the city streets broke the grateful noise of water splashing in the foun­tains, On tlie high portico the Pres ident sat amid a grbup of dinner guests, and the lights o f their cigars were “ echoed” by the drowsy fireflies about the grounds.only the brilliant­ly lighted windows ©f the secretary’s office suggesting the workaday world. The noonliglit, shining fu ll on the White House, revealed the harm on-, ious lines of-its graceful shape.

“ Tell me,” I asked the architect “ among the great houses that have been built during recent years in the general style o f the White House,— many of them larger and much more costly,—is there any that, in point of architecture, surpasses it?”

* No; there is not one in the same class with it,” he replied deliberately —a judgement confirmed latter under the noonday sun. From Charles Moore’ s “ The Restoration of the White House ’ in April Century.

❖ ❖ *>Farming in tlie Semi- arid Region.In 1894, a year o f widespread drohth

a South Dakota farmer, H. W. Camp­bell, who bad been experimenting in tilling his claim, surprised1 bis neigh­bors by harvesting a crop o f potatoes that averaged one hundered and forty-two bushels an acre on thirty- two acres, while those on adjoining farms wei e nearly a failure. He gave as his guide in conquering the semi- arid conditions a variation from the usual method o f tiUage. Ordinarily

"the farmer turns over the furrow with the plow and cultivates the top only sufficiently to insure the destruction o f the weeds. Mr. Campbell’s plan was to plow very deep, and by means o f specially constructed implements, pack the bottom of the furrow. The top he kept well cultivated,approach­ing as closely as possible to making fine dust over the entire field. Even when there were no weeds showing, the cultivation was continued, the object being to form a blanket of fine soil above the seed-bed and so re­tain to the end of the season a greater portion than usual of the rainfall, somewhat limited in that longitude.

"The theory was simple and the prac­tice easy. It has gained a wide fo l­lowing, and is becoming one of the accepted principles of the farming of the new West. It means, when car­ried to perfection, that the natural rain waters will be absorbed readily into the ground, that they w ill be held there by the packing of the bot­tom o f the furrow slice, and that un­due evaporation will be prevented by the stratum of dust above.

Over the semi-arid region, where the rainfall is only twelve inches a year, little or no moisture fails after the middle o f June until autumn.. Then it is that the corn withers, the wheat shi-ivels, and the fruit trees lose their strenglit But it is noticed that if a quantity of coarse sand be scat­tered over a bit o f soil, no matter how dry the summer, there will always be beneath It moist earth. So it was argued that is the bottom of the plowed surface could be packed toretain the spring rains, and the top o f the field could by frequent harrow­ing be kept in a sandlike state o f fineness, the full value o f the rainfall might* be utilized. The flood of muddy wTaters that formerly rushed away toward the sea after every rain ceases, for the rains have gone into the ground where they fell. It is a’ new condition, and one that appeals to the farmer with great force.— From “ Pushing Back the Arid Line” by Charles Moreau Harger, in the American Monthly Review o f Reviews for April.

COL. STREIGHT’SA FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY WAR STORY

April 27 to May 2, 1863 ILL STARRED RAID

[Copyright, 1903, b y G. L . Kilmer.]

Ap r i l 27, 1S63, colonel a . d . Streight set out from Moulton, Ala., on liis famous ride through Alabama and Georgia which had for its sequel the remarka­

ble tunnel escape from Libby prison, Richmond, a few months later. Btreight’s raiding force numbered 1,700 men and was composed of his own reg­iment, the Fifty-first Indiana; the Sev­enty-third Indiana, Third Ohio, Eight­ieth Illinois and two companies of the First Tennessee cavalry. The infan­trymen were mounted on mules, for the most part young, unbroken and very wild.

The orders to the raiding chief di­rected him to penetrate the enemy’s lines to the interior of Alabama and Georgia and destroy the railroads which carried supplies and munitions to the Confederate army under Gener­al Bragg, then operating in middle Tennessee. It was hoped by the plan­ners that this raid would put an end to Bragg’s campaign as effectually as the work of Forrest and Van Dorn had thwarted Grant's overland campaign against Vicksburg in December, 1862. Just at the time raids in the enemy’s rear were the Federal order of the day. Stoneman’s cavalry was on a similar errand in Virginia behind the army of Lee, then stationed at Fredericksburg, and Grierson was riding over the coun­try behind the defenders of Vicksburg.

In order ‘to mask Streight’s move­ment from the eagle eye of Forrest a heavy column of Federals, marching from Iuka, Miss,, eastward, made a feint upon Tuscumbia. But Forrest was too clever to be thrown off the trail. He was a raider himself, with a reputation to sustain. Streighf s first long halt was at Day’s-Gap, in Sand mountain, and when his rear guard marched through the pass it was at-

. tacked by Forrest 1Streight prepared to give Forrest a

taste of his own favorite game. When the rear was attacked, the head of the column had reached the other side of the mountain. The line came to a halt and faced about, with one flank rest­ing upon a ravine and the other upon a marshy creek. All the roads leading in from the right, left and front were strongly guarded and two twelve pounder mountain howitzers placed in the center on the road. The Tennessee cavalry, acting as a rear guard, was Instructed to fall back before the ene­my’s advance and pass through the line of battle. c

Streight’s arrangement was hardly completed when Forrest’s brother, Captain W. H. Forrest, charged the Tennesseeans, who promptly gave way and were followed into the gap by their assailants. Then the whole Fed­eral line arose from their hiding and poured a rapid fire upon Forrest’s ranks. Two Confederate guns opened at once upon Streight’s line, and Colo­nel Roddy’s regiment charged vigor­ously, but was quickly repulsed. For­rest’s guns were within 300 yards of the Federal center, and Streight sent the Third Ohio and Eighteenth Illi­nois forward to charge the routed ene­my and capture their artillery. The raiders shot down the horses at the Confederate guns, and these were abandoned, with their caissons, togeth­er with forty wounded and nearly as many dead troopers.

It was nearly midday when the Con­federates drew off from the fight. Streight surmiged ’ from the boldness o f the attack that he had Forrest to cope with and expected the next blow upon his front Posting a strong guard in the gap, he pushed on with the main body to. a crossroad six miles from the bat­tlefield. For once Forrest was misled. Two of his regiments were not up yet and he waited for their help to dis­lodge the enemy from the gap and con­tented himself with a long range skir­

m ish until 3 p. m. Massing his four regiments, with four guns, he dashed forward only to encounter a thin skir­mish line of Federals, who galloped away without firing a return shot.

Streight had rightly judged Forrest’s ''cti cs, for he was soon assailed on the "" ~t)y Forrest's advance guard. Rid-

pidly on, he selected the next bat­tleground at the crossing of Crooked creek, in another mountain pass. The captured guns, with the mountain how­itzers, were stationed to cover the road. An hour before sundown Forrest came on at the head of three regiments and node up to within a hundred yards of Streight’s line. For three hours the combat raged so close that at times the flashes of carbine and pistol illuminat­ed the features of the combatants with a ghastly glare.

Again Streight pulled out his main column, leaving the pass to be held by a handful. The captured guns, having become a useless burden because the ammunition fitting them had all been fired back at its Original owners, were spiked and left behind. Twice during the night retreat Forrest’s advance was ambushed, and next morning Streight lined up his column for battle at Bloutsville. Forrest failed to come up, and the raiders pushed on across the Black Warrior river, where the rear guard- engaged the pursuers in a lively skirmish.

After crossing the stream Streight destroyed- the bridge and posted sharp­shooters along the bluff;. Forrest rode up at the head of his command, and a young farm girt of the region offered to lead him to a ford near by. The impetu­ous warrior took the fair guide up on his saddle and hurried toward the riv- pr, put coming under the fire of the

sharpshooters dismounted and asked the girl to follow and point out the way. Suddenly several shots were fired, and the brave miss, who was Emma Sanson, stepped in front of For­rest, saying: “General, stand behind me. They will not dare shoot me.”

Forrest prevailed upon the girl to keep back out of range, but she said, “You may be wounded, and it is my purpose to keep near you.” Finally they found the ford, and while Forrest was examining it the sharpshooters opened fire, and several bullets eut the bushes close at hand, one or two actu­ally piercing the girl’s spreading skirts. “They’ve only wounded my crinoline!” said she, waving her sunbonnet defiant­ly at the Federals across the ravine. Instantly the sharpshooters stopped firing, took their own caps in hand and waved them, with three hearty cheers.

Forrest’s delay at the ford gave Streight time to reach the town of Gadsden and destroy the stores and supplies and to capture fresh horses

j for his men. The raider hoped to reach Rome and destroy the bridge behind his column so that Forrest would be baffled in his pursuit. A detachment of

| 200 men of the Fifty-first Indiana rode j away to seize the bridge at “Rome, and j Streight disposed the remainder of his j force in ambush upon Blount’s planta- ; tion. At that point the road ran half a j mile through a dense growth of young j pines, then turned sharply to the right | through an open field, j Streight barricaded the road at the t bend, compelling Ms pursuers to turn i into the field. Behind a ridge he con- 1 cealed 500 men and posted his sharp- 1 shooters in the pines. Forrest; had been caught before by ambush and decided to take this with a rush. With a dash he cleared the barricade and rode on so rapidly that the sharpshooters had lit­tle time to ply their shots. Firing their carbines and pistols right and left, the Confederate troopers dashed for the second line beyond the field. This charge also carried home, and the line gave way.

Finding that Streight's men were still undaunted and ready to dispute the road at every point, Forrest sounded the recall and allowed his weary troop­ers a night’s rest Streight took advan-

“THEY’VE ONLY WClTTNDED MY CRINOLINE 1”tage of the lull and stealthily set out. for Rome in the path of the detach­ment sent to seize the bridge. At the Coosa he found that the citizens had run off the ferryboat after his advance guard crossed, and he was compelled to march to another crossing seven miles distant. This unfortunate detour gave Forrest time to cross the river and get between the raiders and Rome.

At last it became clear to Streight and Ms officers that the situation was des­perate. The men were worn out and slept as they rode. Many of the mules were footsore, and the soldiers were obliged to walk. It was decided to

-struggle on and if possible overtake the : detachment sent on ahead, but on the morning of the third day of this run­ning fight the whole command sank un­der hunger and fatigue, and the leader reluctantly ordered them to rest.

Forrest after resting Ms men on the late battlefield had selected 500 of the best and hurried on the track of the raiders. He found them in their biv­ouac and quickly divided his force to surround them. Streight at once formed- his line, but soine o f his men dropped asleep while under fire of the Confed­erate skirmishers. Both leaders sent out a flag of truce, and Streight offered,- to surrender if Forrest would show that he had a superior force on the aground. This Forrest declined to do, but in answer to the question as to how many -guns he had replied, “Enough to destroy your command in thirty minutes.” Streight, however, de­cided to fight and turned hack to his command. His officers insisted upon surrender and thus ended the great raid. Streight eventually escaped from Libby through a tunnel._____ GEORGE L. KILMER. J

[Copyrigii, 1903, by American Press iAssociation.]28. Feud the ehurch o f God, which Up

hath purchased with H is own blood.After the uproar at Ephesus Paul

went into Macedonia and abode three months in Greece, after which he start­ed for Jerusalem, hoping to be'.'there by the day of Pentecost (verse 16). Hav­ing come as far as Miletus, he sent for the elders of the church at Ephesus, that they might come to Miletus to meet him.. Our lesson is part of his address to them, the whole address be­ginning at the eighteenth verse. He felt that these were the last words he would ever speak to them (verse 25), and he reminded them that in his min­istry among them he had taught them all things, not only the essential and fundamental repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ, but also the whole counsel of God (verses 21, 27).

29, 30. F or I know this, that after m y de­parting shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock; qlso ol your own selves shall men arise, speak­ing perverse things' to draw aw ay dis­ciples after them.

It was Paul’s delight to maintain himself by Ms own labor, that he might have to give to the needy tMngs temporal and spiritual; but there were and always have been, and there are and always will be till the kingdom comes, those who, professing to be shepherds, not only do not feed the flock, but take good care to live upon the flock—wolves in sheep’s clothing (Jer. xxiii, 13-16; Matt, vii, 15; x, 16). No true servant of Christ ever seeks to draw people to himself; but, like John the Baptist, cries, “Behold the Lamb of God!” The Lord Jesus never sought any glory for Himself, but always glo-

. rifled the Fattier, and Love seeketh not her own, is never selfish. Both from without and from within the church the adversary works, but the Love that gave Himself for us shall finally con­quer.

31, 32. And now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word o f H is grace, which, is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified!

O.ur Lord’s own command was, “Take ye heed, watch and pray” (Mark xiii, 33-37; xiv, 38), and because of our ad­versary, the devil, who is always seek­ing to devour, we need the whole armor of God (I Pet. v, 8, 9; Eph. vi, 11-13): It is by the grace of God,made known to us in the word of God, that we are saved (Rom. iii, 24; Jas. 1, 18), and the same word causes us to- grow in grace (I Pet. ii, 2; II Pet., iii, 18). This verse speaks of those who are sanctified. See also o.n this I Cor. vi, 11; Heb. x, 10,14, then note in John xvii, 17, that we are by the word of God sanctified in the daily life. Any seeming discrepancy in the truths that we are sanctified and perfected for­ever, yet being .sanctified and not yet perfect, is easily understood if we dis­tinguish between what we are in Christ before God by virtue of His great sac­rifice and what we are M our daily life here before men (1 John iii; 1, 2).

33-35. I have shewed you in all things how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak and to remember the words o f the Lord Jesus; how H e said, It Is more blessed to give than to receive.

By practice as well as by precept Paul had taught them that he. was not seeking theirs, but them; that he want­ed nothing from them, but that he had something to give them. So when oth­er teachers came seeking their goods and not their souls they could say, “That is not like Paul, for he never sought anything for himself, but ever taught us of the love of God In Christ, and by the love of Christ he constrained us to give without asking us to” ' (II Cor. v, 14). Paul realized what he taught, that, though seeming to-have nothing, he yet possessed all things, and, though poor, he could make many rich (II Cor. vi, 10). Perhaps in no epistle do we find the riches of the grace of God so fully set forth as in the epistle to the Ephesians, and if we. only believed God and that others might he just as rich simply for the taking we could not but'speak what we have seen and heard (Acts iv, 20).

36. And when, he had thus spoken he kneeled down and prayed with, them all.

In chapter xxi, 5, we find that at an­other place they knelt down on the shore and prayed. Paul was certainly a man of prayer, and if we understood * the privilege of access to God that is included, in prayer, we could not but be people of prayer. While kneeling1 is the position here mentioned, we find : in I Kings viii, 22, that Solomon stor'd

•with his hands spread forth; toward; heaven, and we fiffd in the agony in Gethsemane that Jesus both knelt and fell on his face. The position of the body is secondary, but that the sotil takes hold of God, that is ^everything (Isa. lxiv, 7; Ps. lvii, 2; lxii, 5).

37, 38. And they all w ept sore and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him, sorrowing most o f all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no ijsore.

In tliis world of changes and separa­tions when the best of friends and the dearest of our lo.ved ones are often, called away from us there is comfort in such words' as “Thou, O Lord, re- mainest forever” (Lam. v, 19; Heb. i, 11). He hath said, “I will never leave, thee nor forsake thee” (Heb. xiii, 5;; Deut. xxxi, 8). While Paul had to leave them, the Lord Jesus would- abide, and His Holy Spirit and His word, and all that they had received was from Him, by His Spirit through

■ His word. It is our privilege, to, walk with God, but we are so weak that we are prone to walk by sight and rejoice greatly In some human helper, some strong arm o f man to lean on.

Ra lway Order.

BROTHERHOODS WIN ON ALL POINTS

Movement on Foot to Settle the Trou­ble Without a Strike—Judge

Advises Arbitration.

St Louis. April 2.—The injunction issued March 3 by Judge Elmer P. Adams, of the United States district court, at the instance of the Wabash railroad officials, to restrain the broth­erhoods of railway trainmen and fire­men from ordering a strike on that sys­tem was dissolved in a decision hand­ed down by Judge Adams yesterday. What the next move Will be on either side is problematical. At Wabash head­quarters it was stated that amicable, adjustment of the controversy is hoped for. The same sentiment was expressed at the hotels where are quartered the few representative of the officials of the trainmen and firemen now in the city.

Judge Recommends Arbitration.^Counsel for both sides spent the aft­

ernoon in conference, but no agreement was reached. The keynote for amicable settlement was souned by Judge Ad­ams himself, in rendering his decision. He said: “ I cannot conclude this opin­ion without expressing the sincere wish o f the court that if the parties are unable to adjust their differences by such mutual concessions as are nec­essary to that end the offer made in open court by defendants’ counsel to Submit the questions in dispute to the board of arbitration provided for by the act of congress of 1898 will be speedily accepted, and another in­stance of rational and intelligent ad­justment of a business difficulty be ex­hibited to an expectant public.” *

Court W ill Retain Jurisdiction.Judge Adams announced that court

would be in session and retain jurisdic­tion of tlie case “if desired, so that in the event o f any molestation of, or in­terference with, interstate commerce or the mail service, all its lawful pow­ers may be invoked to restrain the same, with the confident assurance that they will be fearlessly and ef­fectively exercised.” President Ram­sey, of the Wabash, is at present en route to Cairo, Egypt, to attend his daughter, who is ill. George J. Gould arrived early last night on his annual tour of inspection. While not authori­tatively stated, it is believed, that in President Ramsey’s absence Gould will endeavor to effect a settlement of the situation.

HUB OF THE JUDGE’S OPINION

Every Point In tbs Dispute Decided Against tbe Bailway.

Among the findings of the court are the following:

“That, irrespective of the question whether the men or the committee of the brotherhoods representing them first suggested the increase of wages and change of rules, the employes themselves at and for a long time prior to the riling of the bill of com­plaint were dissatisfied with their wages and conditions of service, and a real difference of opinion existed be­tween tbe railroad and a large majori­ty of its employes, members of tbe brotherhoods, with respect to their wages.

“That the defendants, as officers and committees of the brotherhoods, were fullyauthorized both by reason of their official relation to their members and also by direct written authority to represent them in the effort to secure higher wages and changed conditions of service.

“That the proposed strike, instead of being officiously ordered by de­fendants, was a result of the vote of tbe employes, acting without coercion and directly authorizing the same.

“That the charge of conspiracy to in­terfere with the interstate commerce of the United States of the mail serv­ice of the United States is not sus­tained.”

“The gist of the conspiracy coming, within the jurisdiction of the feder­al courts, as. charged in the bill.” said Judge Adams, “was to precipitate a ; strike undesired by tlie men, and thereby, and by other means specifical­ly charged in the bill, to interfere with interstate commerce and the mail service of the United States. Upon the showing made that the first step of the conspiracy — the ordering of such a strike — was contemplated by the defendants and that irreparable damage would befall the railroad un­less a restraining order was 'issued forthwith, the same was done for the purpose of holding the proeprty and the parties »-i statu quo until both sides could be heard fully on the mo­tion to set aside or modify the or­der.”

The judge says further that the gravamen of the charge made by the railway was that the defendants had entered an unlawful and malicious conspiracy to secure recognition of their brotherhoods by falsely represent­ing that the employes of the railroad who were members of the brother­hoods were dissatisfied with their wages and conditions of service, when they were, in fact, entirely satisfied and contented with the same, and that defendants were about to exercise their powers as supreme and control­ling officers of the brotherhoods o f fire­men and trainmen to force an unde­

sited strike upon the ineh who were members of their organization.

All these things, the judge says.' the plaintiff failed to prove.

STRIKES ARE VERY NUMEROUS

Thera Are Thousands Oat at Chicago — April I Makes Many Men Idle.

Chicago, April 2. —- April 1 was “ strike day” so far as yesterday is concerned. Over 8,000 went out here yesterday/ as follows: Marine fire­men, oilers and water tenders, 5,000; tanners, 2,500; excavating teamsters, 900. There were about 4,000 men on strike here before.'

The same story comes from all over the country, and the following are a few of the strikes inaugurated: Phila­delphia, pl'iniljors; Yonkers, N. Y., plumb.crs and carpenters; Denver, Colo., sheet r»u dal workers, cigar-mak­ers and tinners; Cincinnati,,.architec­tural iron workers: Eastern* Pennsyl­vania, many towns, painters,plumbers, paper bangers, carpenters and brick­layers; Schenectady, N. Y., electrical workers.

At Stanford, Conn., 700 men of vari­ous trades struck; Elmira, N. Y.. pape • hangers and decorators; Morristown, N. J., carpenters and hodearriers; Springfield, Mass., painters and paper hangers; Elizabeth. N. J., plumbers.

On tbe other hand several threaten ing strikes were settled, tbe most im­portant being that of the trainmen of the New York, New Haven and Hart­ford company, which was amicably settled late yesterday afternoon. ’Tlie men appear to be perfectly satisfied with the concessions made by tbe railroad officials.

Then in the anthracite regions the- award of the coal strike commission went into full effect. The inaugura tion of the new conditions was gen­erally observed as a holiday in the southern fields, almost all the mines in that district being idle. In several towns, parades and mass meetings were held.

FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT

President Roosevelt Thought Eight Months' Imprisonment Too Much.

Washington, April 2.—The president has commuted to expire yesterday the sentence of Edward Grant, alias Ed­ward Guerrant, who was convidted be­fore Uiiited States Judge McDowell, of the western district of Virginia, for contempt of court, and sentenced Oct. 9, 1902, to imprisonment for eight months in the Washington county jail, at Abingdon.

Grant was a labor organizer of the United Mine Workers, and was ad­judged by the court guilty of contempt in disobeying an order of the court by endeavoring to interfere with and intimidate employes in one of the coal mines. The attorney general recom­mended a commutation on the ground that the punishment of eight months’ imprisonment' was excessive.
