Hon, George A. Jenks Nominated to the
Vacant Solicitor GeneraIship.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-,The President
has nominated Hon. George A. jerks,
late Assistant Secretary Of the Interior,
to be Solicitor General IN place Of Cen
eral Goode, who was rejected by the
Senate at the instance of MahOne. The
Virginia delegation are particularly
chagrined at this app intment, az by
common consent the Office had been con-
ceded to John Randolph Tucker, of Viz
giuia, at present Chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee. Mr.. jerks has been
In Washington all week, having come
at the request Of the President.
He will assume the duties of office in
medisteIy upon the adjournment Of
Congress. The Attorney General Will
leave for Arkansas about that time, and
for the remainder of the eummer Mr.,
jerks will be the acting head of
the Department Of Justice, The othje
ranks next to that of Cabinet position,
and the salary is $1,000 per annum. The
President was much impressed with MI
jerks when the latter was in the Inter
iOr Department, and only consented to
his retirement when his resignation was
put on grounds that made Its acceptance
imperative. The significance Of the ap-
pOintment lies In the fact OF MIR. jerks
previous connection with the Govern
ment suit. He was officially connected
with the inquiry made by the Interior
Department which resulted in the
bringing of the Government suit against
the Bell patents. 1t has always been
understood that he prepared the opinion
delivered over the signature of Secretary
Lamar. That he will push the suit with
thorough knowledge Of Its various
phases Is evident. The Senate will
doubtless confirm him at once, as there
was not the slightest delay In his pre-
Vious confirmation.

on the street and, running up to him,
grasped him by the hand and said with

ernor. Everybody in the lunatic asylum
Is delighted at your denomination"

Brother Gardner Answers q Note.
JOHN PHILIP Brown

Detroit Free Press.
A note has been left on nv desk AKIN
me why de present aige has not produced
a Cicero, D,ogenes or Milton. l answer
to de etfeck dat each aigs has produced
of itself an fur itself
Dlogenes WAS looked upon as wise
man in his day au' aige. Pu: him and
his tub on airth today, an it wouldn't be
| twenty four hours befo he'd be jerked
to de jug fur crank, an de law would
fo'ce him to cut his ha'r, dig out lis fin
ger nails an put on clean shirt.
Cicero was applauded by thousands fur
his masterly oratory. At dat aige de gift
of CAB was rare thing. In dis aige you
kin attend five dollar lawsuit beto' any
Justice of de Peace en- find match fur
Cicero in three dollar lawyer. If he
could drap down among us bed find it
hard work to get resolushun fur new
sidewalk frew de City Council
Shakespeare was bigbug fur de aige
! in which he lived. He was probably de
| only person on arth who could have writ
mis- writings, and he desarved all praise.
If he was among us today he'd find ebery
newspaper giviu' him de guy, an all de
boys yellin' out Chestnut as his works
appeared in Seaside form. Dis aige de-
mands different style. We want sun
thin bout angels comm down an takin'
leetle chilTen straight up to heaben, or a
feller gwine out to Texas an killil' half
dozen lnjuns day fur vaca shun. We
want plain English, widout any had
words in it, We doan' know muffin bout
me lold, me duke, me lady an sich. an
we doan' want to. Dis aige has produced
5000 pussons who. while dey can't write
| like Shakespeare did, kin waltz all aroun'
him in keepin de readers har on eand
from de fust paige to de last.
Nero was big gun for his aige, but
jest you emagine sich a chap cavortiu'
aroun' dis kentry at dis day an date. De
| VERY fust time he sounded his bazoo in
| de Ninth ward peeler would give him
| de collar an walk him down an de ne 1t
mawnin' you'd see it in de papers dat ole
Nero was sent up for sixty days fur dis
tuhin' de peace.
We has no poet to ekal Milton, but if
we had de newspapers wouldn't gin him
a fair show. Dey'd refer to his produck-
shuns as spring poetry, an he'd likely
be dubbed de Ba'n-gate Baladist of In
diana. Dis aige doan' cry fur poetry
half AS mnch as fur pork, an a chap like
| Milton would hev to turn hand-organ
| to make livin'.
De aige doan' demand no great man in
any line. Wnen it does he will bob to de
surface an his name will appear in de
papers. We am all mo- or less orators.
| We am all wise huff to see why water
won't run up hill, an, statesmen huff to
know dat what ails dis kentry am its
over-production OF boot jacks.
My advice to you am to keep right on
being common folks. If you want to git
| above the common herd pay Gosh for your
groceries; let odder folkses woodpiles
alone; keep whisky an sich at arms
length; put in SIX days week at hard
work; read mo- skule books an fewer
novels. You may not become Napoleon
nor Plato, but you'll be remembered in
your own nayburhood when de names of
State Guv'nors hev been forgotten.

numerous by which the enterprise was
advertised and furtbered.
But the busy labors of Secretaries Red
| and McCabe and the great army that so
! bring their reward at the close of Il e
fiscal year The sixteen years experj-
| ence of Chaplain McCabe in the Church
Extension Society had ripened him well
for this religious campaign.
EXTENT OF METHODIST MISSIONS.
The Methodist missions employ 2,5OS
missionaries and =, 397 assistants in the
domestic field; in the foreign field are
ll8 missionaries and - assistants, exclu-
sive of 592 native preachers and !. 421
Sabbath teachers. The foreign missions
received for the current year $i40 $50:
the home missions 1891 800 With
Sl,0O0,000 year to rely upon hereafter
the division of the appropriation viii be
equal. Talking modestly but earnestly
about the great work now completed
DIR. McCabe said:
1T should not be forgotten that the
expenses of the Missionary Society are
less than one per cent of the sum raised,
owing to the fact that part of the office
expenses is paid by the rents of the Mis-
sion building. Nor should this million
dollars be taken as the iull measure of
the work Of the NJ M,thodist Church. We
have two other missionary societies
the Women's Boards of Home and For
elgn Missions, which raise over $500 600:
so that the aggregate given by the de-
nomination for the fiscal year Just closing
will be over s., 200, 600. This certainly
marks new era in the history of Matho-
dism. 1t just!ies the enthusiastic Ian
guage of Bishop Hurst, who in recent
brother; every sound you hear is that of
victory. East and West there is more
enthusiasm fol the grand cause of mis-
sions than have ever known before
The field of our Missionary )ciets is
the world. Nearly 5000 workers re-
ceive their support in whole or in part
from our treasury. We have vast sys-
tenn of home missions which take in the
frontiers of the West, the colored popu-
lation of the south and the Indians. We
also have missions among the foreign
bred population of our own country.
About AZ, 900 Germans in this land have
been brought into our church through
their agency. We have missions in
India, China. Japan, Corea, Singapore.
Bulgaria, Turkey, Italy, Germany, Swift
zerlaud, Norway. Sweden, Denmark,
Russia, Africa, Mexico and South Amer
lea. Thousands of Methodsts are among
the readers of the Tribune To insure
success for the coming year i'll raising q
million for missions by collections only,
we ask each Sabbath-school class to raise
81 more than usual, and that alone will
oring us up to the million-d dollar lin, by
collections only.

nothing to give the value of rare coins,
to tell how old the paper was, or to
write a brief biography OF a favorite

CHARITY

Rich gifts that Heaven delights to see
The poorest hands may hold
The love that of its poverty
Gives kindly succor, prompt and free,
Is worth its weight in gold
One smile can glorify day,
One word new hope impart:
The least disciple need not say
There are no aims To give away,
Ii love be in he heart.
The gentle word, the helping hand,
Are needed everywhere:
Gods poor are always in the land,
And small things done for them shall stand
Large r-compense to share.
No earthly pen tie tale may write

But angels have such deeds in sight,
Writ large, in characters of light,

approached the stove, caught fire and
jumped back into the bed to smother
the flames. 1t was pitiful and heart
