The BOY King visitor.

The announcement that the Young
King Alexander of Servia will visit the
Gar next August must create some sur.
prise at Vienna. He is, of course, in the
hands of his pro Russian Regents, who
have for years been scheming to bring
Servia into closea relations with Russia,
but it was not thought that King Milan's
pro Austrian policy would so soon receive
this slight 1t is clear that If Milan.
policy were meant TO be continued
unchanged the first visit smade by th'
boy king, would be to the Emperor
Francis Joseph and not to the Czar. The
popular feeling in Servia seems 70 favor
a Russian than an Austrian alliance. Il
was King Milan's fidelity to Austria Il
seems, that created the radical agitation
which caused him to abdieate.

HATH PUSHED WITH ITS HORN
Rev. w. p. swartz Describes the Crimes
OF the Saloon Ok.

/
OF the Saloon OK.
Rev. William P. Swartz. pastor Of Cen
tral Presbyterian Church, preached the
first OF two sermons on 1.-The Saloon last
evening. His text was Exodus xxi 2S-
29 "lf an OK gore man or woman.
that they die then the OK shall be surely
stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten
but the owner of the OK shall be quit
"But if the OK were won to push with
horn in times past, and 1t hath been tes-
titled to his owner, and he hath not kept
him in, but that he hath killed man or
a woman; the OK shall be stoned, and his
owner also shall be put to death.
The discourse was plain, cold state
ment of fact, and the application of the
text was very unique. In opening, Mr..
Swartz asserted that the laws and prin-
ciples of equity and justice given by God
to the Jews could not change. and that
the principal embraced in the text was
still moral law and therefore, applica-
BILE in the case. The saloon was an OK
If it had not been won't to push with its
horns it could not be objected to, and its
owner would not meet the penalty pre-
scribed. But the saloon OK had pushed
with its horns-the horns of drink-and
owner. The well-known statistics of
three quarters Of the inmates Of the
almshouses being brought there through
drink were alluded to, and the benefit Of
the prohibitory law to the city of At
lanta, Ga, spoken Of
This saloon OK. said Mr.. Sgartz, has
pushed untold men out of innocence into
crime; out of places of influence and
prominence to vice and ruin Crime
grows in the mire of the saloon. The
keeper Of an English prison says that
four hfths Of the prisoners under his
care, came tn ere from crimes committed
while under the influence Of liquor
Fifty eight of the county jails Of the
State Of Iowa are empty. since the abol-
ishment of the liquor traffic in that state,
and in many counties there is not a Grim
inal case on the court dockets. This drink
OK has pushed an army of men out
of health and life into death The life
insurance companies are beginning to
ask the question, are You addicted to the
use of liquor or a moderate drinkers
These companies deal in hard facts. Is
not the OK pushing men out of life? The
handiwork of the jeweler and merchant
are exhibited in their windows. The
stock of the saloon keeper is hidden.
las long as this government has the
power to control the drink traffic SO long
will the responsibility rest upon it; and
the people, who are the government,
should stone the drink OK and kill it.
Shall the owner of the drink OK live!
/ Will uot the sentence of death be exc
cuted over this people if they permit
this drink OK to push on?"

FOR the Statesmen.

Colonel, Cody Anfenger has the balls
and bats for the coming great contest
between the statesmen at Dover on Thurs
day next. The balls are very hard ones
and it would not be a bad idea to have
Drs Bishop, Parvis, Anderson, Stout and
Clements on the ground during the game.
Persons residing near the Green need not
put un screens to protect their windows
from flying balls. The bats are the regu
lation kind and Of that nature that they
will give surprise to any statesman who
hits ball. The colonel proposes to fill
his position as umpire with impartiality.
He does not know much about the game,
but that does not make much
difference, as the coming contest
ents are not very well versed.

An Interesting Sermon at Asbury Yester-
day by Rev. Dir. Hanna.
Rev. J. D. C. Hanna preached at
Asbnry NJ. e. Church yesterday morning
on Palm Tree Christians. The church
was crowded Mr. Hanna took his text
from Psalms %, IA: 1.-The righteous
shall flourish like the palm tree" He
said in part: ''rhe palm tree was a pecu-
liar tree in the East. 1t does not always
grow in the forest but in the desert,
thing Of beauty and q Joy forever. 1t
draws nourishment from the desert
With the righteous man in the world this
is also the case. In spite of every trouble
we find Christian palms rearing
their heads Why is it that palm
trees flourish in the desert and
church people in religious sferility Of
soil2 Because down at the foundation OF
each there is always a fountain The
palm tree sprang straight up and at the
top had splendid foliage evergreen; pro
totype of the real true righteous life
No dust settles on the palm; so it is with
Christians The tree had $50 different
uses; likewise Cody man or woman is
always useful. When weights are put
on palm tree it grows more, more rap.
idly than before. So with Christians; sor
rows and troubles are only to as
sist your religious growth. Finally the
palm tree bears a fullness Of fruit. You
SOW the good seed and you reap large
harvest. As the tree produces its best
fruit in old age, so Christians, the Older
they grow the more powerful they are
After death the palm tree is useful. We
die, but our deeds are not forgotten
The founders of our religion are dead but
their work lives and will live for al
time. May we all be as palms. ever
