POSSIBILITIES or THE FUTURE.


POSSIBILITIES or THE FUTURE.
What are the possibilities Of the
future, is question that none will
venture To answer with any degree of
assurance. When we look back over
the history Of the past century and
note the wonderful progress made in
science and invention. we NAV well
hesitate to cope with such a 70, midsble
problem. Imagining ourselves in the
position Of our ancestors al the begin
ming of the present century we ask, is
there any probability that we should
have ever dreamed of time when our
words could be flashed across the ocean
on wire even in the time we could
utter them-when we could bear our
friends voice IN conversation at dis
lance Of hundred miles-or when we
could be transported across the Allan
tic. from continent 10 continent. in less
than week $ time? Can we imagine
our anticipating that our words, spoken
into little instrument. could be turned
out again. bv means Of crank. tor
the benefit Of an audience thousands
Of miles from rs at later date. Can
Ne suppose that any freak Of our i'm
agination could have transformed the
feeble rush light into the brilliant glare
OF the Incaniescent lamp; or that we
could fpresce the time when our pas
terity would be hurled along behind au
iron horse at the rate OF II mile a min
ute: 1t seems Improbable that any oi
these things should ever have sng-
gestod themselves to Us: and now We
stand in the same relation TO future
possibilities A. our ancestors of cen
fury ago did to the wonders Of the pres
ent generation.
But il We cannot presume to say

The boy King Of Servia. Alexander

Next to the young King Of Spain King
Alexander Of Servia is the most at
tractive Of the youthful monarchs Of
Europe. His mother is the beautiful
Queen Nathalie. now an exile from the
kingdom Of her son. His father, King
Milan Obrenoyitch. who abdicated the
throne this spring. and Who had reigned
with the title Of king since March 6,
1882. is now only thirty-five years old.
Just before young King Alexander was
crowned King Of Servia there was .
most distressing episode in his Young
life. His father and mother had sepa-
rated. and beautiful Queen Nathalie
Ned with her son to German soil. His
father. King Milan. had him torn from
his mothers arms and violently
brought back to Servia- The abdics-

Miss Potter's chapter on the Jews OF
East London strikes a wholly different
note. 1t tells US of q class we'll capa-

they pay their debts; they abide by their
contracts; but this is the measure Of
the obligations which they acknowl-
edge to the society in which they live.

YESTERDAYS St0rsll.

A storm of considerable energy, accompG-
MED by thunder and lightning, passed over
large portion Of country yesterday evening
and last night At Philadelphia the princi-
pal damage done was at the State fair
grounds, large frame structure there was
demolished and other smaller buildings were
damaged, the loss being estimated at twenty
thousand dollars. In Camden about %
houses were unroofed. At Potsvillea panic
occurred among the female operatives ct
the silk mill So intense WAS the excitement
that it was found necessary to dismiss the
operatives and suspend operations. Reports
from the outlying districts of the Slate show
that great amount Of damage was done by
the tornado, the damage to growing crops
being yerv severe. At New York pedes-
TRANS were swept along like pigmies, unable
to resist the fury OF the gale. Horses be-
came frightened and dashed madly mp and
down the streets. II WAS scene OF intense
excitement for several minutes. No acct
dents have been reported. Telegraph wires
are down in all directions. Near the Point
of Rocks, Md, % men who we're at work on
railroad trestle over the river THAT point
were swept oil into the water sixty feet be-
low. and the wreck OF the bridge fell upon
some of them and several were killed. The
others succeeded in swimming ashore.
Wires are down in all directions in Western
MARYLAND and it was impossible to obtain
details of the damage. AT Charestown, W.
Va. the frame structure Of the large bark
mill of Geo. Campbell & Co, now in pro-
press of erection, was blown down and Con-
siderable damage done. Oae of the carpen-
tiers. Daniel Heldwohl, who was on the
structure when it fell, was badly bruised.
In Baltimore roofs were blown oil and tee-

throughout Maryland and damage to fruit
aud other crops is feared.
