ed, the members Of the recruiting squad
turn their own attention to making the
newly enlisted person a soldier Of the
cposs.
The parading OF these recruiting squads
through tho streets has often caused the
arrest OF tho party or some Of its mem
bers for disturbing thepeace. In England
such arrests are usually regarded by
the people as prosecutions, and tho result
has been to increase the popularity and
strength OF tho army. The church of
England has again and again denounced
the soldiers OF the army as fanatics and
tho salvationists by bringing to their aid
tho nonconformists with whom England
abounds. -
The American army is separate from
the English army. Several years ago
Gen. Booth came TO America TO Try
to heal the breach and make the two one.
He left representative In Brooklyn, but
the main force of American salvationists
has long been under tho independent
command of Gen. Moore. When Gen.
Booth appeared at the Palace rink, in
Brooklyn, there was brass band and
band OF women with tambourines. Tho

the letter "S" embroidered on the cei.i
Of the coat. He wore fiery red shirt, on
tho breast Of which were the somewhat
exhilarating and attention attracting
words, "Victory" and BLOOD and Fire" T"
He gave out u hymn in which nearly
every line told of the horrors of hell.
Then the assemblage knelt and prayed
and sang, amid interpretations of "Giory
70 Godr' "Save us from hell" .'Blcss tho
L6rdr and "Glory, Glory, GloryT and
tho "Hallelujahs" which rang out from
time to time were uttered with all the
apparent evidences Of triumph. Gen.
Booth prayed that the backsliders might
get back into the fold before the yawning
jaws Of hell swallowed them forever.
The Salvation Army was established in
America in 1884, and divisions from
time to time sprang up in the different
states Of the Union. The general plan of
hction Is the same as in England. The
banners are blood red; the Inscriptions
battles, and the newspaper Of the army
Is called The War Cry. Their actual
religious services are much like those of
the shouting Methodists, who flour
ished in America during the early part
of the century, but who are now q
rarity. An assembly of "Salyationists'
resembles in many respects camp meet
ing. There are camp meeting songs,
and when they become aroused they all
join in
Iwant TO hear the Tipping Of the angels wings
When die;
And sing the song that the angels sing
When die
Notwithstanding the fact that in Amer
ica there is the greatest religious free
dom, and any attempt TO interfere with
tHe street parnders Of the Salvation
ists>-wOuld probably react in their
favor, there arc many who think they
ought to be suppressed. Wherever they
establish barracks the price of property
sinks like lead. Nervous people are
kept awake by the beating of their drums
and by their war cries, and the religious
sense Of many Christians Is shocked by
their free use and hawking about publicly
Of words which have a sacred import.

What the President Reads.

The president has DO leisure hours ex- cett those seized for the necessary after noon exercise. Although fond Of read ina, he finds little time to indulge that taste. Ills newspaper reading Is limited to a glance at one paper to get the drift of the day, 8 pretty careful perusal of the indianapolis Journal. with it's chromole of events happening at and near bis old home. and to such articles in the leading daily newspapers as may be brought to his attention for any particular reason. His desk Is that of an orderly worker. and is usually cleared every night of the accumulations of the day. Most of tho applications for appointment come to him iacketed and briefed from the de- partmente. He usually disposee of them upon the recommendation of the depart nient head. If 1t appears to be neces. sary to traverse case he sends for all the papers and goes through them down to t6e first ono fled.-Epoch.

A Wonderful Tribe.

A remarkable story is told in recent issue of the Paris Societe dc Geographic records. M. Camille Douls reoounts the experience he underwent in a journey in northwestern Africa. Disguised as na- tive, 1t appears, he landed on the west coast near Cape Garnet. several hundred miles south of Morocco, pretending to the people of that region that he had been shipwreclsed. At first he was roughly dealt with; but finally he gained the confidence of his captors, and. after five months wanderlngs, by dint of craft he made his way to Morocco. Here his disguise was discovered. and he was thrown into prison-to be released pres ently at the instigation of the British minister.
 The adventures recorded are of inter- est, as they give new version to the popular story of the great desert. The Oulam Delin. into whose hands M. Douls fell. he says, are unusually intelligent. They speak a pure Arabic, founded upon the constant study of the Koran. They are homogeneous, and treat their wives with the greatest affection and respect as equals of the men. The girls share the education of tho boys, learning to read and write with them; hence, the women show an intellectual and moral elevation far beyond that of any other Moslem women,

The Champagne supply.

People who drink champagne have queer ideas about the sparkling liQuid. One hears frequently that ''there Is no pure champagne in America; ft'e ell made from cider" This isn't true, for the time hasn't yet arrived when older can successfully masquerade as cham. pagne. The quantity of champagne made at Rheims and Eperay. France, is almost incredible.
 A great deal of nonsense Is written and spoken on this point. One is gravely told that more champagne Is drunk in Russia alone than all the vineyards of France could supply, and that America we'll, America gets cider for champagne. The fact Is that it is very difficult to smuggle champagne into Russia. and so every bottle which goes there Is re- corded at the custom houses on the fron- tier, for the Russian tax Is 60 cents O bottle. England and America consume more champagne than Russia and all the other nations put together. ex- cepting France. The supply is equal to the demand. despite the fact that American imports moro and more cham pagne every year. One house at Rheims pagne yearly, all high class wines, too.
 From the entire champagne district of France there were exported last year 2O,- 100000 bottles of champagne. 5000, 1000 bottles of which came to America. The land upon which are the vineyards of the big champagne houses in France is worth an immense amount of money. The aver age value per acre is S2,OOO, and some of the choice vineyard land Is worth S6, GOO per acre. The land is never sold, being entailed. Despite the expense of making the wine immense fortunes have been made by the manufacturers, and many of the titled houses of France rest upon a substantial foundation of louis d'ors made from the manufacture of cham. pagne wine. The celebrated "Widow Cliqout" made a fortuneof several mil. Hon dollars from the manufacture oi champagne after her husbands death and the sprightly little widow was inde pendent enough afterward to refuse the hand of one of the titled noblemen O, France, who, unlikU most French noble men of today, was wealthy.-Cincinnatt Commercial.

STO2ti KINGS HAVOC.
Lackawanna County, Pa, Swept by a
 WhirlWind.
DARKNESs AT MIDDAY
Uprootee and Carried Yards Away. The Destructlon to Farm Property the Worst Known

SCRANTON, Penn., May 21.-The most dev astating storm that has ever visited this section of the country occurred yes- torday afternoon.
 A little after noon the clouds began to lower and by 12.30 1t was as dark as night but fortunately, only slight rain fell here. To the north of the moun- tains in the neighborhood of Clark Summit and Clark's Green the storm was furious one, which scattered destruc- ton in its path as it swept over the fer tile fields of that rich farming portion of Lackawanna county. The wind came on whirlwind, which revolved in the air like 8 great black ball and, accompanied by lively fall of rain which was fierce and heavy, created @ thrilling scene
 The path of the storm was almost di- rectly. from west to east sweeping through a narrow expanse of cultivated fields and orchards not more, perhaps. than quar- ter of a mile wide from the summit to the green. It leveled with the ground every thing that came within It's reach.
 About Clarke's summit the fury of the storm was the strongest. It struck the new house which Simon Tomgery had under roof ready for clustering, and car ried it ptecemeal before it. For two miles 1t carried portions of the frame with it
 and hurled them into the village of Clark's green.
 Two large frame barns on the farms
 belonging to Charles Robinson and
 Charles White were lifted from their foundations and hurled in broken masses upon the ground, and outbuildings and other structures on adjoining places which were in the way of the storm gave way before it's fury.
 It; then struck the little village of Clark's Green and nearly wrecked It.. Two large barns were lifted from their foundations and carried into the principle streets of the place. The roof of the
 blacksmith shop was also lifted off and sent crashing into an empty house across the road. Large shade trees snapped as they bent beneath the pressure of the hurricane, and covered the roadways and fields with their branches and prostrated trunks.
 In many orchards scores of apples and other fruit trees were blown up by the 1 roots and carried for yards. Altogether the destruction to farm l property in general was the worst ever l known from similar cause in these | parts.
 Fortunately no one was fatally injured, ! although several persons were badly hurt by the flying debris.

JapaneAe Women.

In Japan the women have taken kindly and quickly to the foreign methods of in struction, and prove themselves faithful and intelligent students. They show 6 great deal of ability in the hospitals and training schools for nurses, and much quickness for learning, as we'll as fond ness for whatever they undertake to study. A Japanese womans education formerly consisted of strict and thorough drilling in all the rules of eti- quette, fin learning to play on the koto and samisen. and in arranging bouquets they were also taught. those Of the upper and middle classes, to read and write the common language in the hirakana or simple running characters. instead of the square characters of the classic lan- euage. All newspapers. novels and plays are written in the hirakana, and in Japan, as we'll as in other countries, women are great novel readers.
 There have been literary women 4p Japan, who have written dramas, poems and novels, as well as those who read them. The women of Japan hope even. tually to attain position equal in con- sideration to that of American women. And since the wife of the Japanese min ister at Washington has been able to learn the English language in one year so that she speaks 1t f1uently, it shows what a Japanese woman can do.

A Dogs Extraordinary Fidelity.

A remarkable case of animal intelli- gence and fidelity has developed in Jeffer- son, Ga. Every one in that city knows the late Dr. Watson's little dog Zolla, that used to follow him everywhere and often ride beside him in his buggy seat. He would come every morning to his masters office, and If he did not find him there would run over to the livery stable to see If the doctors buggy was gone. and if 1t was, he would follow the track until he had found him. When his mas ter was in the soffin little Zolla was held up so he could see his face, and showed signs of intense grief. He was at the fu- neral at Woodbine cemetery, and was the last one to finger at the new-made grave.
 Since that time he has visited the grave night and morning. and Is often seen sit ting upon 1t keeping watch. as though he expected his kind friend and master to come forth. He Is often seen wandering alone on the streets at night, and a gen. tleman, whose profile and beard some what resemble Dr. Watson's, has told us that little Zolla has often walked in front of him and gazed into his face, and even followed him home and sat for hours in front of his door waiting for him to come out so that he might get one more look at this face so much like the one treasured in his memory.

Oscar BOlles Charged by the Poiice "!
 :-sr the Murder ofIlis sixtcr.


 Ess the Murder ofHi. si.tcr.
 CHICAGO, Ill.,, May 21.-The police arc reasonably certain that Royal French, now in custody on the charge of larceny, Is Oscar Bolles, who year ago was con- cerned in the murder of his sister Bolles lived at Cavington, Ind. In com pany with man named Albert Hardiste, the prisoner. so the police have reason to think, dragging his sister Lizzie, nearly IS years old, to an Illinois Central freight car standing on the side track and committed an atrocious assault.
 The men, it is said, became alarmed at the result of their fiendish' conduct, and believing the girl to be deadI Iobtained @ quantity of oily waste, and after placing 1t in her clothing ignited 1t. The body, with the car, was consumed, and the neighbors thought 1t the work of un- known tramps.
 In some manner, 1t is thought through the confession of ono of the men impli- cated, the police at Covington became convinced that there was enough sus- picion pointing toward Bolles to warrant his arrest. French answered the de- scription, and was taken into custody. The strongest point against him is that the police claim he made three attempts to commit suicide after he was placed in custody.

Deaf Mutes Who Saw . Man Pushed
 Over a Bluff at Rochester

ROCHESTER, May 21.-Some. Sunday pleasure seekers while strolling along the banks of the Genessee river on that day found a man lying at the foot of a high bluff. He was unconscious and ap- peared to be badly injured.
 The side of the bluff gave evidence that he had rolled down it. The man was taken to the city hospital, where an ex- animation showed that he was suffering from concussion of the spine, and had received other severe injuries.
 The locality is..within sight of the Deaf Mute institute. Last night some deaf mute children went to Professor Wester- welt, the principal of the institute, and by signs told the following story: They had seen several men acting very ex- citedly across the river. Finally, one of the men struck another and a general fight ensued, which ended in one man being pushed or thrown over the bank. The principal at once notified the po- lice of what the deaf mute witnesses had seen, and the latter are Investigating tho affair. #
