A Remarkable Woman.

Recently published telegram:

death of Mrs. Jenkins, a person.

peculiar aud important part in the
affairs Of a not unlmpo'tant S ,uth

among the Pondcs, aud who ac-

A Heaven on Earth.
The Future Use of this World
from q Chistadelphia Standpoint.
IWashin gton Post, lstb. !

at the Christadephian meeting
at McCaulry's Hall Sunday. Mr..
J. w B"ggs spoke upon the i'm
mnrtali y OF this world, with the
view of exploding the theory Of
heaven other than this earth
aud sustaining by ScrIptnraI proofs
his arguments. The Christadel-
.,hian idea is that the earrh is q
mixture of good and evil. but that
when the latter day comes, the
government will be administered
by Jesus Cb'ist and the Saipts.
This Is founded on Isaiah xl, 19,
and Ecclesia~tIcus l4::-'Oue
generation passeth away aud an
other generation cometh bur The
earth abIdeth forever All OF
the blessing and cnr>ing that God
Intends for man, they believe, will
be done on this earth. The trinity
Of Christ is denied, ard the dor-
triue Of the unity of the Godbead
beliv,d iu. MIR. Bngss' principal
arguments weut to show that when
the last day should come the
wicked would be Destroyed, and
Satan, which is sin, would not be
allowed to exist Cor a thnnsand
years that those who had died in
the Lord would arise aud dwell
with him, and that tEis whole earth
should constitute His dominion.
First Corfu blans, XIV, 24 %, was
qnoted as sustaining this view.
Jerusalem wonld be restored and
become the metropolis Of the world,
and the Jewish nation would inhe
rlt all that God has promised in
the O.d Tts ament. He showed
'bat there was nothing in the Bible
that woulh point to reasonable
belief III au immortal hell that
all the he'll there is is found In
this world, and that When man
dies that hat Is the end OF It.
TIE Chris tadt lphians derive their
unme f,om the two Creek words
Chirst@ and delphi, signif,iug
Chrlsis s brethren, and Iepnditle
all belief in the sc.cailed Chris
liau religion. They believe the
clergy TO he impos els, and that
no one has divine call to speak,
but that ally one who unde, stands
the BibIe is fitted to instruct.
They believe in one God, which i,
Jesus Christ, ard rely entirely
upcn the Bible to support thei'
belief, and interpret it literally and
rot fgurntivelv, AS they claim do
other denominations. They teach
that the recompense of trewarn
promised iu the Gospel Is the pos
session of the earth and wo,ld oi
mankind, under II heavenly coustl
tu'ion, with glory, honor and i'm
mortality.

eighty-hve spans, the widest Of which was
245 feet, and at the highest point was 1870 feet

at 4;15 in the afternoon. II consisted Of four
third-class cars, one irst-class, one second
class and q brakeman's van. At the last sta
tion before entering che bridge the tickets
were taken, and the train was then crowded.
The railway authorities estimate the total
number Of lives lost at seventY-dye. A tele-
gram from Dundee states that only iftY-six
passenger tickets were taken up at the last
stopping place, but these do not account for
number OF young children requiring no
tickets, nor for a number frailWay employees
nor for number Of passengers for Broughty
Ferry, whose tickets were not taken up.
However, II this statement is correct, it is es-
timated the loss Of life has been greatly over
estimated. The Government enttWo inspect
ors to ascertain the particulars of the disas-
ter, and also directed formal inquiry into
the occurrence. Divers had thus far been un-
able to discover the wrecked train. The
place where the train sank is full OF quick
sands, and If the bodies OF the drowned are

A Contest for q Romnu,s Hat.


The following episode Of the recent
Seventh Regiment Fair in New York Is
reported: I heard Of one man who spent
$2, 800 on ratfies alone. The spirit Of
rivalry runs high when there is prize
offered for the table or the lady who
takes in the most money. On the last
night Of the fair an illustration Of this
feeling occurred. A halter sent up a.
case of hats as present to the fair, and
two order-boOks. The idea Of the or
der-books was that any onecOuld buy an.
order on the halter for a hat, redeem
able at any time. The fair sold them
for the regular price, and the maker
4 allowed the trade discount. To make
the game more exciting, he offered a.
prize of handsome lady's hat to the
lady who should get the most orders.
Two we're found to take hold at once.
One backed ont after she had taken
two orders, and handed her book over
to another young lady, transferring the
two she had taken with it. This made
the other lady very angry, and she
called the proceeding cheatlng," and
told her husband all about it, Like a
good husband he sided with his wife,
and vowed that she should not be
euchred in that way, sohe bought two
orders of her himself. This iieensed
the young man of the young lady who
held the other book, and he Immediate
" bought four orders. Then the hus-
band flew into passion, and swore
that his wife should win that hat, come
what may, and he bought more orders.
The young man, who could i'll afford it,
did the same. The husband lost his
head at this, and, jumping upon the
counter of his Wife's booth, began to
denounce the other side. His friends
dragged him down. Then he seized a
pen and ink and wrote off check for
$194, and handed it to the cashier,
which, being q rich man, he could we'll
afford. The young man was almost in
despair His young lady begged him
to stop; said that she didn't want that
hat; but his blood was up. He rushed
into the supper room, and found fifteen
men whom he knew eating and drink
ing, particularly the latter. Ho drag
ged them all out, and they gave their
orders to the young lady, The husband
became iivid. /" You might as well
give up the game at once." said he,
Z for am determined to have that hat
Il It takes my entire fortune.n The
young man didn't want to give I'D the
fight, and the fifteen men from the sup
per room Cheered him on. By this time
t was nearly three O. clock in the morn

Our Wool Interests.

The census of 1910 reported twenty
four woolen factories in this country
that spun yarn, and 9,258,269 yards Of
woolen cloth woven in families, valued
at $4, 413, 600. In 1850 there were 1920
wooden establishments that employed
$4,000 persons, and annually produced
goods of various textures valued at
$48, 100000, In 1860 the wooden estab-
lishments had increased to 1920, en-
ploYing 10000 males and females, and
producing goods to the value of $67,-
100000 annually. Owing to the great
demand of woolen goods to supply the
army with blankets, clothing, etc, in
the rebellion, the wooden factories in
the United States increased nearly one
half in ten years, and the census of 1870
counted $1,000 persons as employed in
woolen factories, who annually pro-
duced goods to the value of $177,-
100000.
With the increase of population the
demand for Woolen fabrics continues
about the same, and there are at the
present time about the same number of
mills doing about the same amount Of
business as in 1872, just before the
financial panic commenced. But with
the natural facilities for the raising of
sheep and the manufacture of wooden
goods, the demand for wool and wOolen
goods in this country is far ahead Of
the supply. In the past forty-six years,
or since 1888, the United States have
imported wool, either manufactured or
unmanufactured to the value of 81, ,210,-
100000. For the past four years this
country has imported wool and woolen
goods to the value (in the aggregate)
Of $4,000, 1000, while the export is a \
trife. In 1875 the total duties on wool
and woolen textures amounted to $780,
9l4,036, and with the exception of four
years prior to 1848, was a larger rev.
enue than ever was produced in any
one year in this country, or within.
$50, 100000 of what was expended in
the eight years of Washington's admin
istration.
