THERE is no good reason why the hours
Tor closing the stores in Lancaster should be
prolonged beyond six o'clock in the summer
time. The clerks do full days work from
a m. TO p. M, and the customers can
easily accommodate themselves to the re-
form. The trade after that hour Is very
light aud inconsiderable; and wide-awake o
and liberal-minded merchants will find 1t ia
their advantage all around TO fall into line
with the early closing movement.

Upon. Pyers placed the back part Of his
head on q high-back chair, and, making a
complete bow of his back, after the manner
of contortionist, so as not to touch the chair
with his back, he let the barber scrape him.
Rests had TO be taken every few seconds, for
Pyers could not sit with his back in the
shape of Cupid's bow all the time. Those
who know, although Pyers would not talk
about IL, say that az soon as he has served his
six months and is released he will leave the

THE man to whom perhaps more than TO
any other person in Washington belongs the
credit of the miles OF beautiful shade trees
that adorn the Capital City, is now lying at
deaths door in Washington. He is w. II.
Smith, long the superintendent of the botan-
ical gardens of Washington. He is said to be
one of the best authorities in the country on
all that is connected with tree, plant and
flower culture, having made personal study
| of those subjects in Great Britain and on the
continent When the plan of identifying
Washington's streets and parks was first
mooted. he established large gardens and Sc
| lec.od eighteen varieties of shade trees that
he knew would flourish in Washington soil.
| The 80 miles of beautiful shade trees in
| the streets and avenues of that city
| are the result. He encouraged
citizens to plant trees In their private

them, and even gave from his private
supplies to further the work. Men of bis
stamp, admirers of the beautiful who are also
willing TO personally work in the cause o
beautifyiDg, are very rare and it is to b,
hoped that he may be longer spared to wider
still further his career of usefulness

BETTER LET RI ALONE.


A correspondent Of the New Orleans
Times, Democrat, writing from Guatemala,
advocates a union of the Central Ameri>
can states, and says the intelligent inhab,
itants all favor ii. At present large
share of the revenues of these states goes
to maintain their standing armies. The
idea is put forward that if the union were
effected, "and the United States and
Mexico should go security FOR its main
tenance, no military would be needed 10
the land" That is to say, no Central
American troops would be needed. The
states would be relieved of this burden I,
and could pay their debts. The plan
might, indeed, be a comfort to European
capitalists who hold Central American
bonds, but it is not easy to agree with the
correspondent when he says: This is .
good democratic way of adjusting the af
fairs of a people" Self dependence is the
first thing for republic to learn, and un
til the Contra American states are able
to form stable union in spite of outside
interference they win hardly do so by dis
arming their own troops and relying OF
foreign influence to uph old their govern
ment. There are certain parts of Centra
America which are very inviting TO com
mert ial nations, and it would not be wise
for any friend of Central American re-
public TO throw temptation in the way Of
those who might be only too willing t.
come to stay. Mexico is intensely hostile
to the proposed union, and the United
States can best aid her neighbors b.
keeping aloof herself and preventing al
| foreign protectorates.

THE modern type of evangelist differs
greatly from those who in the beginning
went forth without scrip or staff into q
hostile world to convert it to Christ and
his doctrines. Though poor and litter
ate, most of them, they had been taught
in the greatest school and by the deepest
and sublimest teachers that the world
ever knew or ever Will know. Conse>
quently their preaching and teaching.
though full of zeal, were also full of
knowledge and of power, while the daily
example of their own lives as they moved
TO and fro among the peoples that fol-
lowed false gods was in itself the strong
est appeal TO higher life. They were
sober earnest men of weighty utteraEce
wrestling with the intelligence of theil
hearers as well as with the feelings oil
their hearts. Thus they effected perman.
ent conversions. But the socalled evan
gelist of today is apt to degenerate into 1
religious mountebank, who seems to thinl
that religion is to be caught in spasm

WHERE IS GENERAL GORDON?
Sensational Story That He Escaped Alive

Sensational Story That He Escaped Alive
from Khartoum.
LONDON, june 10. -Something Of sensa-
ton has been caused here by the receipt of a
dispatch from Cairo, stating that Coptic
merchant, whose reputation for truth.
fulness and honesty can not be ques-
toned, has just arrived there from
Khartoum bringing the startling news that
after the rebels had forced an entrance
into that city, and after the mas
sacre of the inhabitants Of the place,
the kAhdi demanded his followers to pro.
duce the head of Gen. Gordon.
Some of the Mahdi,s leaders produced the
head of a man whom the merchant says he
recognized as that of NJ. Hanzals, the late
Austrian vice consul at Khartoum. He as
serts most positively that no trace Of Gordon
could be found and that he viewed
the remains of several European
victims Of the massacre He personally ex-
amined the clothing of the bodies when
favorable opportunity offered, and
failed TO find any documents or
evidence of any kind to Salty him that any
of the bodies was the remains of the la
mented Gordon. He further AYERS most sol
emily that it is his belief that Gordon had
made good his escape south.
