ship models In London, the model of q

called the "Aqua-aerial, or Wave Ship"

glide over the surface. 1t Is promised,

II is virulent type of cholera that is
raging In Spain, and the morta lily is al.

have not been many deaths outside of a
narrow strip OF country on the eastern sea-
board. That there is panic there is
shown by the flight Of SC, 900 people from
Murcia. city of less than one hundred
thousand inhabitants. where there were 80
deaths on Menday. The latest accounts
seem to indicate that the disease is spread
ing along the coast to the southwark more
rapidly than in any other direction. Quar-
antine authorities in this country SHOULD
be vigilent with regard to arrivals from
any Spanish port, and should not forget
that the disease may be brought to Cubs

that island and the mother country.

Yesterday was the last Sabbath of the conference
year at the Methodist Episcopal church. and the
services throughout the day were of an unusually
interesting character. At the morning serviee a
large audience was present to listen an eloquent
sermon from the pastor, who took for his text lat
corinthians, xvi, 10. AT the praise meeting in the
evening the seating capacity of the vestry was fully
Tested. 1t was one of the most ENJOYABLE meet
ings Of the year. During the two years that Rev.
Mr.. Jones has been here, he has not only uuickened
the church and increased the attendance, but has
endeared himself to the people, and they would
loyiuliy greet him should he be returned another
year. AT an official meeting of the board it was
unanimously voted to request the return of Mr..
Jones for another year. And thus closes year Of
not only profit to both pastor and people but one to
be looked back upon with pride and pleasure.
