From Pulpit to Poor House.

Rev. j. Benson Hamilton, d. D., of Brook
lyn, N. Y, delivered his famous address
entitled From the Pulpit to the Poorhouse''
at the Chestnut St. Church last evening to a
large and interested audience. The paper
deals with the hardships of many of the
clergy of the Methodist denomination, who.
after years of service, have become SUPER
anuated, and, at their advanced ages, have
great dificulty in keeping themselves out of
the poor house on their small means. Cases
were mentioned of clergymen who had
passed through much suffering. DR.. Hamil-
ton also gave several songs. He possesses a
splendid voice. DIR. Hamilton is brilliant
speaker and his descriptions are graphic.

literary and illustration work and scat
tered throughout the middle west.
That it is considered of some import
ance is evidenced by the fact that
nearly every literary paper in the
country has frequently commended it
and its efforts toward upbuilding the
literature of the west.
The fact that so many westerners
interested in this work can be gathered
together shows that the old strictly
mercenary spirit is giving way to one
of a higher plane, and the Western
Authors club Is but one Of many assO-
Citations of people inclined to literature
scattered over Kansas and Missouri,
though it is perhaps the most preten-
tious. The east can no longer mOnopo-
lie the culture Of the nation though
it attempts to do so. The ability of
the west to equal it has passed beyond
an experimental is an accomplished
fact.

year are: President, Arthur G. Girls

Sweets for the Sweet.

The press of Kansas has always been
sweet on the state. Through all the
ups and. downs, through all the viciS-
STUDIES of tempest, fire and drought,
through hard times and good times, the
papers have Loyalty, heartily and enthu-
siastically stood by the Sunhower state
and said good words for it.
In all of an extensive exchange read
ing we do not, however, remember
having seen such real Saccharine col
lection of sentences as George Martin
writes when he says in recent issue
that kansas makes the pancakes for
the world and is bound to make the
syrup to put on them. The general
proposition has been that in case Of a
war with foreign country the United
States could support herself and get
along without the abroad. We
hereby simplify the proposition by de-
claring that Kansas can, if compelled,
get along fairly we'll without calling on
New Jersey or California. She has
corn, wine and oil, which was thought
in King SolOmon's time to be the very
essence of life, Kansas has beef, pork,
wool, silk, corn, wheat, coal, salt and
sugar, besides fruit, milk. butter,
cheese and honey. In another genera
ton 1t is possible for the men of Kan
sas to all weigh 200 pounds and the
women 100. Think of such a country
and such conditions and then pause
and reflect on the way she votes and
her splendid majority"
Seriously, though, there is future
for the sorghum industry in Kansas.
the state needs staple article of pro-
duction that can be raised in dry
weather or wet, on the slopes of the
east or the plains of the west. In sor-
ghum cane this is pretty nearly found.
1t grows luxuriantly where no other
grain will and when once the problem
of successfully and cheaply extracting
and preparing the syrup for the market
is solved there will be opened wide
field for Kansas farmers that they have
not had heretofore. Every addition of
this kind adds materially to the states
wealth and TO its future prospects.
With Uncle Jerry Rusk as much in love
with sorghum as his predecessor, there
seems no reason why Kansas capacity
in this direction should not be thor
oughly tested.

RAM MING ICE FLOES.

How This Is Accomplished by the Strong
ly- Built Dundee - baIers.
No stronger vessels than those of the
Dundee whalers are built; they are from
four hundred to one thousand tons dis
| placement, have powerful, well-secured
engines 10 resist the shock of ramming
or stoppaSe of the propeller by ice, and
are built with an eye to the easy and
rapid replacement of rudder, propeller
and prOpeler-shaft If damaged. these
parts being carried in duplicate. Above
all other considerations, they possess
strength for ramming rs we'll as resist
ance to lateral pressure when nipped.
Another very important feature is
that the bow shall have considerable
inclination, which permits the vessel,
when ramlning very heavy ice, to lift
slightly and slide ON it, thus easing the
shock and assisting the cutting action
OF the bow with the downward crush
ing weight OF the ship. In this way it
is possible for these steamers at full
speed to ram ice over twenty feet thick.
and receive no immediate incapacitat-
ing damage.
If the ice Is not too heavy. the shear
like rise and fall of the bow is repeat
ed several times as the vessel steams
powerfully ahead until her Roadway is
checked. The difficulty then is to ex-
tract the ship from the dock she has
cut by her advance; the foes press on
her sides, cakes of ice and slush fill
her wake, and there is nothing but the
ice-hampered propeller with which to
overcome her inertia and draw back
out OF the nip. Frequently this is in
sufficient, and the ship may be crushed.
