How Sunday was Spent at Mentor

To-day was n dav which doubtless General
Garfield and the people of Mentor viii alike
long remember. He attended service IN the
little Disciples Church here for the last
time before entering upon his new sphere of
life The church is a simple white frame
building. with cupola-plain to utter bare
ness both on the inside and outside. with
broad expanse of whitewashcd wall inside
and high-backed seas The church was
filled with what must have appeared like
great crowd, about 200 people, inasmuch as
the attendance often numbers only thirty or
forty. The preacher was the Rev. Harrison
Jones, of Union, Ohio. who was a former
pastor of this Church, and also chaplain of
General Garfeld's regiment, the i2d Ohio,
and so has special relations with the next
President.
General Garfield was present with his wife,
Mrs. Larbee and Miss Laribee, General Gar
fields sister and niece, and Captain Rudolph
and Mrs. Rudolph, the former Mrs. Garields
brother who will manage the farm in the
Presidents absence. The family sat in their
accustomed pew. There was no allusion in
the sermon to the fact that the President-elect
was present. Ii was an old-fashioned dis
course upon the atonemcnt and the literal
resurrection of the dead. At the close, ac-
cording to the Christian custom. penitents
were invited to come forward. General Gar
field always takes part in the singing with
zest, and his voice could be heard in the in
vitation hymn beginning "All you that are
weary and sad" The Lords supper was cele
brated after the sermon. in accordance with
the Church custom. The final hymn, ''All
hail the power of Jesus name, was followed
with prayer, in which the preacher, who
was visiblv affected. invoked the Divine
blessing upon ''our dear brother and sister

The production OF iron in the United
States is pretty good indication of the
condition OF the country's general bust
ness. During 1880, according to the
figures just made up by the American
put of pig iron was 1905, 2li tons, against
800, s75 tons in 1879, an increase Of
1,224, 539 net tons. Each State where
iron is made. except West Virginia, in
