AFTER A WEEK OF PERIL,
TWO Young Men Found Exhausted
on Yacht Sailing Wild.

BosToN, Oct. 1S.-Pilot boat No. 8 was
cruising about the bay yesterday afternoon
on the lookout for two barks that were ex-
pected from the West Indies and when
twenty miles west Of Cape Cod light the
crew saw sloop-rigged yacht scudding be-
fore the wind and sea with no sail set.
1t was blowing strong breeze from the
west and the yacht was going in south
easterly direction. The pilots, supposing
she had broken adrift, started after her in
tending to tow her into one of the neighbor-
ing ports. After run of fifteen minutes.
the pilot boat came up alongside the yacht,
and to their surprise the pilots found two
young men nearly exhausted in her. They
were transferred to the pilot boat, and with
the aid of restoratiyes they came around all
right.
The weather was terrible cold, and had
they remained in the yacht two hours longer
they would have been dead.
They gave the names of Charles @. Marion
and Altor E. Pratt, and said the yacht was
the Belle Brandon of Bremen, Me. They
started from Kittery, Me-, for Quincy about
week ago, and had rough weather all the
time. Saturday night it blew fearful gale
and they had worked so hard to keep the
yacht from sinking that they became ex-
hausted. The pilot boat took the yacht in
tow, but at the end of half hour they had
to let her go, as she was filling.

coNcREcATIoNALIsTs MEET.
Professor Egbert Snythe and Others
Speak.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-The National Council
of the Congregational Church heard the re-
port at this mornings session of the commit
tee ON the Theological Seminaries. The re-
port urged the necessity of the churches TAX
ing a greater interest in the work of prepar-
ing students for the ministry. This mission
ary field, in particular, called for more men.
The seminaries could easily care for twice as
many students as those at present attending
the schools. The reports of the Professors
of the colleges were then called for. Prof.
Egbert Smythe of the Andoyer Theological
Seminary, the wcll-known exponent of the
probation after death theory, was the first
one called upon, and his appearance created
interest. He spoke of the work in the vari-
Gus departments of the school and the great
progress which had been shown during the
past three years.
Prof. Smythe said Il know of no professor
at Andoyer who even questions, or ever
thought of questioning the supreme authori-
ty of the Scripture as record of special
divine revelation as the only perfect rule
emphasize the truth as it is found in Jesus,
indispensable motive power in the recovery
of the soul to eternal life. We believe in the
testimony of the Holy Spirit as necessary to
personal conviction. and discovery, and as
surance of truth. loud applause.) The pur-
pose of God is to deal with all men upon
plan, not simply of justice and the law, but
of redemption. The chief, l might say, the
almost entire strength OIL the faculty is gwen
to the establishment of the great fundamen-
tai doctrines on which we are all agreed, and
to fit men rightly to interpret the Scriptures
and in their own times to teach Gods mes
sage to men. We, however, distinguish care
fully between doctrines and dogmas. Some
brethren seem to suppose our teachings are
largely occupied with the special dogma
about the heather. There is good deal of
misapprehension on this point, particularly
as regards to the time devoted to the teach
ings of this particular tenet l asked Prof.
Kinks, one of our faculty, how much time he
devoted TO teaching tenet during thellectures
and he said in each lecture much more time
was being given to the refutation of the
point by those of the faculty who dissent5f
from it. | am simply explaining we do No.
make any hobby of this matter. l do net
deny we attach Importance to our opinions.
We admit the danger of inferential theology
and scrupulously distinguish our differences
from our doctrines
Several clergymen were afterwards seen
and said they thought there would be no con-
trOversy on this point now, owing to the
manner in which Smyth had treated it. His
views were just as far as ever from being
accepted by the clergy of the church.
Reports were presented by Rev. Graham
E. Taylor of Hartford Seminary, Prof. Fos-
ter of Yale Theological Seminary, Professors
Wright of Oberlin and Curtis of Chicago.

The crops in Maine.

The monthly report Of the National Agri-
cultural Department at Washington gives
the following about the crops in Maine
The first half of the month of September
was very dry but rain fell from the 10th to
the Goth, very copiously. Frost held off un-
corn crop, which has been unusually late in
maturing. The culture of hops is confined
to the towns of Canton, Peru, Rumford and
Mexico, in Oxford comfy. in the Androseog-
gin valley; and to Fort Fairfield, Maysyille
and Presque Isle. in Aroostook county. The
crop is almost total failure in some dis
tricts. Not for twenty years have the lice
been so destructive as this season. The
yield is less than third of an average, and
the quality compared with a high medium
grade is not above 80 per cent.

Miss Cleveland and Her Publishers.

CHICAGO, Oct 1S.-It is said positively to-
day that Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, the
Presidents sister. has left the editorial
chair of Literary Life, and that lawsuits for
damages for violation of contract are to fol-
low. Elder, the publisher, is reported to
have threatened, in the event of Miss Cleve-
land bringing suit. to make public all of her
private Correspondence and summon to the
witness stand in defence President Cleve-
family.
The trouble it appears, was caused by
Miss Cleveland's demand for larger share
of the financial profits of Literary Life,
which have risen from next to nothing to a
very handsome figure. Elder proposes to
visit Miss Cleveland at Holland Patent and
get her to moderate her demands. Today he
spoke very pleasantly about her in an inter
view with reporter, and declined to say
that Miss Cleveland had yet left the maga-
zine, but intimated that it was among the
liabilities
