"Father" Nathan Chase.

ANDovER, Mass. Aug. 3. - Father Nathan
Chase, the famous "Millerite," who gave away
several thousand dollars worth OF property in
1914, when he thought the world was coming to
an end died recently at the age of eighty nine
years
In 1874. when the time was definitely set for
the final wnd-up Of earthly affairs, thousands got
ready with their robes to make the ascension to
heaven. In Salem several hundred assembled
at Liberty Hill, a large number having on the as
censiOn robes There in much excitement, but
after hours Of waiting no sound was heard from
Gabriel's horn, and the assemblage dispersed, the
followers of Miller not losing their faith, how
ever. in the immediate coming of Christ, but be-
heving that mistake had been made in the date.
Father Chase was very active throughout the
meeting, and from that time up to the day of his
death believed that the end OF the world was
near at hand For several years after the event
at Liberty Hill he worked at carpentering on
week days and preached on Sundays. He de-
vised time chart showing when the world
would come to an end his computation being
taken principally from the book of Daniel and
the book OF Revelations. His last charts show
that the world will come to an end during Octo-
Der of the present year. He was one OF the best
Bible students in the country, and was
deemed a leader in the Advent denomination.

Erastus WInlnan, on the subject

which The Electric World adds,
"and those are exactly our sentl-

A PUBLIC sENEEACTOR

"Who is II. II. Warner, of Roches
tor, N. Y, whose Safe Remedies, es
pecially Warmers Safe Cure, have at
tanned such success and celebrity a
home and abroad?"
The question is inspired as much by
affection as curiosity, since through
his instrumentality hundreds of thou,
sands, in both hemispheres, have
been restored to health and happi
ness.
Hon. II. II. Warner, then, is q
leading and honored resident OF
Rochester, not only, but a prominent
and influential citizen of the United
States. On several occasions chosen
by his party as a National delegate to
nominate President of the Republic,

ness man. He has given away for
tunes in charities. The celebrated
and costly Warner Observatory Of
Rochester was conceived, endowed,
and is maintained by him. His
munificent prizes for the discovery OF
comets has been at once the wonder
and delight OF the scientific world.
The yellow fever scourage in the
South, the Ohio floods, the fire dis
ssters of Rochester and other cities
awakened his profoundest sympathies
and in each instance his check for
from $500 to s., 900 swelled the several
relief funds. Where other wealthy
men give tens and hundreds, he gives
hundreds and thousands.
His charities are as ready and
magnificent as his enterprises and
public spirit are boundless.
The world has need OF more such
men.
An incident led him into the manu-
facture OF medicine. Seized some
twelve years ago with what the ablest
physicians termed fatal kidney dis

a QUESTION Of geographical inter.
est arises out of the bursting of the
Johnstown dam. The plains of the
Upper Indus are said to be strewn
with angular blocks-nOt rolled by
ordinary river action-and their
presence has been explained by the
supposition that huge land slides,
having from time to time formed
dams across the mouths of mount
ain gorges in lower Cashmir, created
temporary lakes, and that when
these pent-up waters, overtopping
the dam, let themselves loose, they
were mixed with sufficient earth to
form a food Of density enough to
carry with it debris equal to glacial
mOraines.

ADpleS For Pigs.

A prominent fruit grower who used
TO feed about 800 hogs each year
said that he always feeds his hogs
plenty of apples and he never lost
II hog with cholera, and he believes
it can be prevented by eating apples.
If it Is not convenient TO give the
hogs the orchard ii will he found
profitable to gather up all the
wind 'alls and apples not used and
feed them, attending to 1t daily. II
is much better to give them n light
feed daily than TO stuff them once
n week. The pig does not make
any choice between the sound apple
and these filled with worms; and
besides saving the apples il puts an
end to the damaging career of many
Insects that prey upon the orchard,
and sends them where they will be
