ScAnea on fha Ware River.

WARE, Mass, Feb. 14.-The scenery along the Ware river to-day is picturesque. Thou sands of acres are inundated. The ice has commenced to break out and is drifting with the stream. The rains of bridges and fences may be seen amid the ice. In the rural districts some of the small farm houses are entirely surrounded by water. Many graves in the French Catholic cemetery were washed by the flood. Traffic between Ware and Harawick and all towns in that direc- tion was entirely suspended to-day. The damage to property in Hardwick is very heavy. Work was suspended in the cellars of nearly all the mills yesterday. The Ware river has fallen six inches since noon to-day.

The Hudson Leaps Hts Banks.

TROY, N. Y, Feb. 14.-Much damage is apparent from the flood in the Hudson. As yet it would be impossible to form any accu- rate estimate of the losses. They will run up into the thousands. In spite of the mild weather and rain of the past few days it was expect ed that the ice if it moved would go out with nothing more than an ordinarily freshet, but the water is above the high wa ter mark of 1S76 The lower part of the city is inundated. Several horses have been drowned in their stables and the water is four or five feet deep where it was not ex- pected at all. The food is subsiding now and it is believed that the worst is past.

Taunton A Waste of Waters.

TAUNTON, Mass, Feb. 14.-The water has continued to rise here all day. Mill river is now a seething torrent. It has flooded the centre of the city, cutting it in two parts. Last night the residents of Park and Court streets were awakened by the police and forced to abandon their homes. Winthrop street bridges caved in during the night and the water gullied out chasm fifty feet wide. Cohannet, Howard and Winthrop streets then became rushing torrents. Soon the Weir street bridge was lifted up and tossed one side and the water spread through Weir street nearly to Main. All the dams on the rivers are either gone or going. The Whittonton mills containing $2OO,OOO worth of goods were saved by blowing out ditch for the current with dynamite, thus dividing the stream. The new stream thus created carried away 8 portion of the old Worden mills. Many un- dermined buildings are tottering. People have been busy all day moving goods from the threatened buildings. Between three hundred and four hundred people are flooded out. People in the suburbs can only reach the city by boats The city is in darkness, both gas and electric lights being shut of. The loss is between $2o0, ,O00 and $500, ,0e0.

 WASHINGTON, Feb 14.-The Sunday Her ald to day quotes prominent member of the Arkansas delegation as having said that one of the Presidents oldest and most influential friends was brought here week ago for the purpose of working upon the President to effect Garland's retirement. He had two conversations with the President in which he intimated that though nobody really be- lieyed that the Attorney General had any personal interest in the telephone suits, etc., yet it might be better if the administra- ten was relieved from even the very appear ance of evil by the retirement of it's chief law officer. The President heard the speak CT to the end and then duly intimated that when he desired advice upon matters touch ing his own business he would ask for it. This ended the interview. a':Is this really true and how did it get out'" the writer in outred. 'sThe intimate friend has wife and she has friends who are much interested in the telephone matter. He told his wife and she communicated the result of the talk to her anxious acquaintances," was the re- ply

CHURCH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

The brightness of the Sabbath morning seemed to have been anticipated by Rev. Mrs. Hanafsrd, for she preached from the text, ''The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart."' She pointed to Christ as the light of the world and urged all to walk in the light of gospel truth and thus secure the joy of Christian love.
 In the evening the theme was Peters vision," the explanation of which was in accordance with that Christian doctrine which accepts the idea of human brother hood as indissolubly connected with the truth of Gods fatherhood A generous Christian charity was urged toward the sinful and erring, while at the same time right living was enjoined as the condition of Christian fellowship.

CHURCH NOTES.

DO1ngs at the City Churches Yester-
 day-Sermon by Bishop Brewer of
 Montana at Trinity Large Audt-
 ences.
 Trinity church last evening was crowded to hear Bishop Brewer, the missionary bishop of Montana, whose address was upon the necessity of active interest in the mission ary work in the West. He related his experi- ences in the work and stated that there was great and pressing need of helpers in the cause, men who were not afraid to under take the hardships of western life, and men were needed even more than money. The bishop has fine, clear voice, and an attrac- tive manner and delivery. The music was, as usual, excellent.
 THE NEW TESTAMENT HISTORICAL BOOKS.
 Rev. MT. Samson, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church, preached yesterday morning on ''The Authenticity of the Historical Books of the New Testament,' taking for his text the first four verses which constitute the introduction to the gospel of Luke. The facts of the gospel are not to be taken with out evidence any more than are other facts, but no history or other rec ord of facts has ever been subjected to such wide and far reaching criticism as have the gospels of the New Testament, and it is the testimony of all the Christian scholars that have existed since the time of Christ that they are genu- inc. Mr. Samson then traced the history of each of the four gospels from it's origin and apart from the idea of inspiration. His pres entation of the subject was such as would inspire confidence in the gospels, as we'll as excite deeper interest and belief in the truths that breathe out from their pages.

TRINITY M. E. CHURCH.

 piled the pulpit at Trinity M E. church yes terday. In the morning he preached an able discourse to very large congregation from words found in St Johns gospel, Sth chapter and 32d verse. ''The truth shall make you free" In the evening another large congre- gation listened to this able western divine.
 The official board of this church have ex- pressed to Rev. Dr. Peck their unanimous desire that he would remain with them an- other year and he has promised to do so, un- less the bishop should direct otherwise, which is not at all probable. Dr. Peck has received several urgent calls from other fourishing churches this winter, but has declined them all, preferring to remain with his present people to whom he is very much attached, and they are devoted to him. Under the rules of the church he can only remain one year longer.
 Next Sunday morning the third anniver- sary of the dedication of this church will be observed with appropriate exercises.

The Apache.

Little bodies and big heads, dirty
and semi-naked, and as full of hell as q
tarantula - that's the Apache. The
Apache is a wild animal with the hu
man cunning, He murders from pure
cussedness and demoniaC delight of it.
He can travel Go miles day oyer the
toughest mountains, his spindles of legs
carrying his narrow body and big head
through defiles and up trails where a
burro can not go: and his squaw keeps
right along with him. They live on
roots and herbs, and will feast on the
Spanish bayonet, a species of cactus
which man can not touch"
"If he wants meat, which he seldom
seems to care anything about, he will
plunge lance into horses shoulder,
and as the animal sinks down with the
blood pouring out of its mouth, the
knife gouges chunk Of quivering meat
out of the animals flank, and the Apa-
ches squats down and feasts like a king
on the warm flesh. A horse to him is q
luxury, but not a necessity. He can
travel about as well without one as with
it, and at best the animals will only be
used in the mountains to pack plumber.
So il it is convenient to go on with a
horse, and the horse isn't tagged out,
the Apache keeps the animal. II on the
other hand, a defile is reached which a
horse can not scale, or bluff is arrived
at which a horse can not descend, and
the man can not Chamber down, into the
animals shoulder goes the lance, and
the Apache goes on as well COntented as
he ever was."-El Paso Tribune.

IT Is strange that the newspaper press
has so much trifling talk, little cOmpli-
ment and twaddlc about prospective
candidates for office, as If such things
could save the land from the OminOus
clouds with their rumbling thunder,
which are on the horizon. Land-sharks
and land grabbers at the trade centres of
the cOuntry-at the capitals Of the
States, west and sOuthwest-are taking
very largely the ownership of the ma
tional soil into their own hands; gold
kings are absorbing the hard earnings of
the toiling millions; times are squally
and worse than squally, and storms are
brewing. This green earth is the gift of
God to man-tO the human family-nOt
to the cunning or cirCumventing money
mobility. Let statesmen think, plan,
devise and give us the needed wise and
patriotic legislation. The voice of the
million cannot be silenced. Their wrongs
must be righted. TO call a president
Democratic who is at the head of the
money kings in our Republic does not
deceive anybody.

Local Option.

Local option is one of the alternative
methods of applying a practicable re-

license is another. The former may eff
feet absolute prohibition in small places
when it can not be done for a whole

for large areas and populous cities. We

tried in New Jersey, and it may be pro-
