Each little duty left undone,
The selfishness however small,
The evil thought, which nurtured, grows,
A heart all blind to others woes
God sees it-alli
The little duty bravely done,
Each sacrifice however small,
An i'll thought strangied in its birth,
The sRile to cheer anerher's dearth-
God sees it-a11!
He sees it all! the righr, the wrong!
Nothing can be too great or small,
The feeblest effort liz his name,
The sorrow, happia ess or shame
God sees shem-all!

The Elyria Baptist Church Ded-
icatiOn.

Many FREEMAN readers will be
interested in even brief mention
of the dedication of the fine new
Baptist Church at Elyria O., an d
some especially to, because they
have few dollars invested in the
building.
The good pastor, Rev. Frank Ad-
'kins, (who took the prize in our
class at College, and had to spend
it for an oyster supper-we can
taste those oysters yet though %
years olD sends us full account
of the dedication ceremonies, with
comments on the able addresses and
and sermons of Rev. Geo. T. Dow
ling, DR.. Henson of Chicago, and
others, closing with the most graf
flying report of the building COM
mittee, which we give as pattern
all the world should aspire to imi-
tate. We quote:
"The report of the building COM
mit&ee presented most gratifying
financial exhibit. The cost of the
edifce, including all its furniture,
which is complete and appropriate,
was s22, 1892. This amount was
wholly met, and a balance in ac-
cess of liabilities remained of 1888.
The success had been complete.
And with the dedicatory prayer by
DIR. Cooper, of Detroit, the whole
was dedicated to God without "the
ungodly incubus of debt" and no
collection was asked for at the ded-
ication service. This was the re-
suit we wanted to see-we "saw it
and were glad"
Sidney Smith cut the following
from a newspaper, and preserved
it for himself: when you rise
in the morning, form the resolu-
ton to make the day happy one
to some fellow creature. 1t is
easily done-a leftoff garment to
the man who needs it, a kind
word to the sorrowful, an encour-
aging expression to the striving
trifes in themselves light as air
will do it at least twenty-four
hours. And if you are young, de-
pend upon it, it will tell when
you are old and if you are old, rest
assured it will send you gently and
happily down the stream of time
to eternity. If you send one per-
son, only one, happily through
each day, that is 365 in the course
of the year. If you live only forty
years after you commence that
course of medicine, you have made
1900 beings happy, at all events,
for a time.-Eyectrd.

ments to others. The provision creating

ton OF Z Government postal telegraph sys-
tenn in ease no contract is made with a COM

tive to rates is considerably amended. 1t

coed fifty cents for kilograms to be trans

THE DISPUTE SETTLED.
The Kansas Board of Commissioners ana
the Santa Fe Railroad Come TO an I'm
<4~r~t,r~

The Kansas Board OF Commissioners ono
the Santa Fee Railroad Come TO an I'm
Outstanding.
TOPEKA, May 1.-The prolonged conflict
between the Board of railroad Commits
sioners and the Santa Fee Company over
freight rates is now being terminated in a
settlement of the differences that appear to
Sc of a satisfactory character. The com
any has agreed To- reduce its rates oil the
sliStance tariff about thirty per cent, said
productions being largest on long haulS.
This tariff preScribeS rates on freight car
ried between stations within the state.
and to not apply to shipments made Ia and
from points upon the Missouri River.
The Commissioners and the company
nave also agreed upon reductions at
Great Bend and Newton. The reductions
embrace rates on all classes of merchandise
md the reduced rates will apply ON the
Company'S lines in Kansas, including the
branches. Under the new tariff rules on
grain. tiour and live stock, the rates viii be-
lower than rates Oh the same articles i'll
Iowa or Wisconsin. The reductions on coal
and lumber are also quite liberal. The
rates last named are those for shipments to
and from Missouri River points. Ii is also
agreed that the new local tariff will be
scaled upon the new rates at Newton and
Great Bend. The reduction will not apply
To- rates on the east end of the road. Here
tofore the Commissioners have directed that
those rules were already reasonable. In
fact they are as low Is rates for similar
distances on roads in the State
of Illinois. Ii is on the middle
and western parts of the line that
these new reductions will be mldc. The
Company has indicated that it accepts the
Boards Interpretation of the law as regards
the validity of the special rates. The Board
has also on several occasions and uniformly
held that the law was sufficiently flexible
to permit such tariff. The new tariff las
not been fully completed yet, but it is eX-
pected that the reviSes will go into effect in
Il few days. a member of the Board said:
The Board of RaiiDad Commissioners
have been holding a conference with Mr..
Goddard, of the Santa Fe Railroad. for
tie past week and have arrived at a
satisfactory adjustment of the rates
between Missouri River points and New
ton and Great Bend. which are very much
below their present rates when taken as a
whole, and in some instances are slightly in
advance of the rates heretofore fixed by the
Board. The Company accepts the o
miSSiOnerS' Interpretation of the law in re-
spect to special tariffs, or rates, to meet
commercial necessities when the business
seems TO require them, hut it must he I'M
derstOOd that these rates will be special as
to the commodities and not as to individuals
or localities.

James II. keene Fails.

New YORK, May 1.-The announcement
Of the failure of James Il. Keene. the well
known Wall street operator, was received by
many with increiulity. 1t created at first a
tremendous excitement among the smaller
dealers and operators, who had apparently
no anticipation of such a result The effect
on the market was not appreciable yeSter-
day afternoon, as the announcement came
so late. Very little accurate informa-
ton could be gained in regard tn the
failure, although runorS of a most
contradictory nature were circulated in
great numbers. 1t was learned, however,
that keene has, for some time past, confined
his stock operations to transactions in priv
ileges and selling puts and calls. A large
number of these contracts fell 1ae yeSter-
day and it was said Keene began paving
them off. and after spending S150,000 in
caShing the differences resulting from the
falling market, he found himself running
short, and having no more money at his
command. lie was forced to refuse the stock
rendered him. The news spread, and soon
his office was besieged with customers and
creditors, who fought with each other to gain
entrance. His secretary, Mr.. Wells, confirmed
the reports of his failure To meet his engage
mentS, and said it was owing 10 unfavOrable
speculation. He said Mr.. Keene would make
no statement TO the public at present, but
would furnish a statement at al early day
TO those who are interested in his affairs.
