The Herald is puzzled to tell how MOODY
and sANKEY produce effects so much greater
than those produced by the many able clergy
men Of Brooklyn who preach the same truths
more eloquently every Sunday This ia an in
terestlng point Of speculation, which might be
prontably discussed at great length In many
ways with numerous Illustrations from history
and human nature. But II must be observed
that the clergy themselves recognize the ex-
traordinary qualities, power, and success Of the
revivalsls. Many OF the ableet, most learned,
and most eloquent dlvines Of BROOKLYN were
among those VINO invited MooDY and SANKEY
there, and welcomed them on their arrival.
They rejoice at the opportunity OF cooperating
with them, recommend them from the pulpit
and urge the people to attend their NEE tines
There has been no clerical opposition to them,
or Jealousy OF them. At the same time the
clergy know that MOODY and SANKEY dwell
upon the old themes, can offer no new truths,
and have no novel plan OF dealing with sinners
The eyangests do not put themselves up as
rivals OF the regular ministers, nor do they try
to depreciate the ordinary work OF the pulpit.
While this attitude Of mutual hepfulness and
esteem Is maintained, IL will not be possible to
excite anything like antaROnsm between the
two parties. The evangclists will leave Brook
Ign, or any other place, whenever their labors
are no longer acceptable to the local clergy.

RESULTS OF BETR1YING STATE
SECRETS IN ECUADOR.


letter from Quito, in the Cologne
Gazette, says that great excitement pre-
walls there about the proposed election
of Senior Moreno as President of Ecua-
dor, which, with the means the gov
eminent has at its disposal, will probably
be effected without much difficulty. The
clergy Of all ranks are warmly exerting
themselves in his favor, as he is entirely
devoted to their interests and the
Bishop of Rio Banda, who has been on
mission to Rome, is said to have
brought dispensation from the Pope
relieving Senior Moreno from the oath
which he swore on being elected to the
Presidency that he would not again
present himself as candidate for that
post when his term of Office should ex-
pire. The danger of betraying state
secrets in Ecuador was significantly IL
Illustrated ON this occasion. A respect
able citizen of Quito, speaking of the
Bishops mission, said that its object was
to propose to the Pope, on behalf of
President Moreno, that the latter should
be permitted to buy the wealthy con-
vent of La MERGED for a tenth of its
value, on the understanding that sum
equivalent to the purchase money should
be forwarded to Rome as Peters pence,
and the Archbishop of Quito be re-
warded for his connivance III the matter
with Cardinals hat. Whether the
story is true or not does not appear
but the man who told it was suddenly
arrested, conducted under a strong es-
cort into the wilds of the Rio Napo, and
there left to his own resources. This Is
/ a punishment which has often been In
hicted on criminals of late, as it saves
prison expenses.
The journey to the Napo alone is sui
ficient to injure the health even of a
strong man. For the first two days, as
far as Papallacta, it is performed on
horseback, but the road then becomes 50
narrow that there is not room even for
a mule. 1t passes over rocks, plorasses,
and woods, up and down the snow-cov-
cred ridge of the Andes, and through
I rapid mountain streams and the trav-

or to the burning rays of the sun, having
no provisions hut those he carries on hiz
back, and sleeping in the open air on

reaches his destination, he finds himself

MUSIC HATH CHARMS-ITS INFLU-
ENCE UPON DISEASE.


The Norristown Herald tells this little
story for physicians Mr.. Bunnell was
sick abed when his son William, 10 years
of age, read about book entitled "The
Influence of Music ON Disease" in
which, it was stated, the writer explained
what diseases it was necessary to fiddle
at, what to play the flute over, and what
to treat to the ACCORDION once every two
hours SO forth. William meditated
awhile, and then concluded he would try
dose of fiddle on his parent. So he
procured that instrument, took posi-
ton in the sick chamber, and COM
menced to tune up. The fiddle only
possessed two strings, and even William
mentally confessed, as he scraped away,
that the music emitted was not equal to
Theodore Thomas orchestra but he
couldn't help thinking how much cheap
er and simpler the Emusic cure" was
than to pay doctor a dollar visit and
swallow lot of awful medicine. Mr..
Bunnell was doing when his we'll
meaning son commenced waking wild
strains, and at the first sound the sick
man clutched the air convrlsively with
his right hand-evidently dreaming that
he heard cats growing in the back yard,
and instinctively reached for brick, or
a bootjack, or a something that way.
William played with much earnestness,
and before he had fiddled half through
I" Mulligan Guards his father had raised
himself to sitting posture, without a
rest for his back. Thus encouraged,
William slid off into .. 1t will never do to
give it up so, and Mr.. Bunnen now
swung his left leg out of bed and gazed
painfully at his son. William was de-
lighted at his success in raising the old
man, and pitched into 1.-the Last Rose
of Summer" with renewed energy, rush
ing through the air without once going
back to pick mp dropped notes and
things. And 50 The Last Rose of Sum-
mer" was the last of William. The In
fiuence of music upon Mr.. Bunnell's all
ment was marvellous. 1t seemed to i'm
bue him with new life and strength, for
Just as William was about to saw out

CORRUPTION $50 YEARS 400

1t Is simply the repetition of history
The New York Euening Post, looking
back loO years, finds in the English Par
lament a case like our Pacific Mail IN
veshgation. The East India Company,
having obtained a new charter. there
were rumors aaoat that they had to buy
it, and an investigation was ordered. A
House committee sat and sat, but the
density OF the ignorance displayed by
witnesses summoned wac SO profound
that for a long time no light broke in
upon the matter. Finally, the commit
tee found by an examination of the India
Company's books that during the year
1893 some 100000 had been expended
for special service. Hunting down this
trail it was found that Sir Thomas Cook.
the Governor of the company and a
member of Parliament as we'll, had un-
dertaken the disbursement of the sum.
Cook refusing to tell tales ont of school
or in it for that matter, was promptly
thrown into Jail, and over his contuma
cious head was hung a bill providing
that If within certain date be did moi
confess fully, he should be compelled to

to hold any Office thereafter The
House, at least, passed such a bill In
the Lords, the Duke of Leeds opposed
it, and Cook, in the attitude of craven.
begged that it might not be made Law.
Indemnity was given him under his
promise to make full disclosures before
joint committee. The subsequent In
vestigation showed that while many at
tempts at bribery were made, few sue
ceeded, but Leeds, Cooks champion in
the House of Lords, WIS taken red
handed. Some lesser lights were shown
to be corruptionists, but the bulk of the
fund was never satisfactorily accounted
for. "a large part of this money" says
Macaulay, (which Cook had drawn from
the company's treasury, had probably
been embezzled by the brokers whom be
had employed in the work OF corruption;
but what had become of the rest it was
not easy to learn from the reluctant wit
nesses who were brought before the
committee"
