STEAM QUlETED THEra.
A Terrible Brute Battle on Board of an
 Ohio River Steamboat.

A
 Ohio River Steamboat.
 An old sailor, who gave the following description of a terrible brute battle which he witnessed fifteen years ago, said thaS it made him tremble as no storm at sea had ever done. The scene of the fight was the main deck of Q steamboat on the Ohio river during the transportation of ''John Robinson's Great Worlds Exposition" of animals. The combatants were the huge war ele- phant, 'Emperor," and monster two horned rhinoceros, and their encounter made strong men pale.
 Dead, wounded and dying horses and ponies strewed the deck in every direc-, tion; cages destroyed and literallye smashed into fragments were scattered among the dead, wounded and dying, and the terrible shrieks, grunts and groans plainly told that the battle was fiercely ranging. It seemed as if every cage on tho boat would be totally destroyed.
 At this juncture loud crash was heard, and the two cages containing the sea-lions and the Labrador seals were pushed overheard. MT. Robinson seem- ed to be very cool for man who was | witnessing the wholesale destruction of his property, but when he saw his sea lions and seals dashed overheard, he decided that patience was no longer a | virtue, and ordered the combatants fired upon.
 A heavy volley was discharged, which had no other effect on the monsters, now thoroughly aroused, than to make them fight all the more furiously. The situation was getting every moment more dangerous for all on board, and the proprietors had almost despaired of ever separating the animals, when it occurred to some one to open the steam pipes and deluge them with steam.
 The engineer was instructed to turn on the steam, and as it suddenly escaped from the boilers with terrific roar, the elephant was heard to give shrill, trumpeting screech, such as elephants always utter in crying for mercy when conquered in their native wilds. Whether the animal had received it's deathblow from the rhinoceros, or was frightened into submission by the steam, could not be ascertained until it had cleared away. Then there was disclosed to the astonished gaze of the showmen Q curious and gratifying sight.
 There lay the huge elephant on the deck, covering and trembling. uttering moans of pain and fright, while little beyond was tho quaking rhfnoceros snugly ensconced in his cage, whither he had retreated, utterly cowed, the in- stant the steam was opened on him.
 The attendants sprang quickly for ward, and closed and bo1ted the door of his cage, thus securing themselves from further molestation from him. The horses, ponies and smaller animals that L 1-.1 overheard, the deck was washed and quiet once more restored, after one of the hardest battles ever witnessed - Youths Companion

COPYRIGHT lSS9.


 On Thursday, January 16, the suc- cessur of the departed founder of Ply mouth thurch will be formerly installed as pastor, with appropriate ceremonies. Forty-three years ago, on Saturday evening in May, 1S41, a little group of gentlemen gathered in private parlor in Brooklyn. for the purpose of founding a new Congregational church. Eight days later, on May l6, the first services were hold in the small brick building on Cranberry street, which had been occupied as church by the fashionable congregation of Rev. Dr. S II. Cox. The latter, however, had outgrown its accommodations and moved to a larger and finer editice on Henry street. Henry Ward Beccher. a young, vigorous minister, who had re- gently arrived from Indianapolis. where he had been pastor of small church, was invited to preach. Morning and evening he spoke on that first Sunday to audiences that crowded the brick building in every part. The manage ment of the new church were delighted with the result of their experiment, which had success stamped upon it from the outset. The new body was organ | ized on Juno l2 of the same year, and on November II following, Mir. Bcecher was publicly installed. During the forty years of his pastorate, he made 1 Plymouth Church national landm ark. When the question of choosing pas tor to succeed Mir. Beecher came up, shortly after his death, there arose q serious difference of opinion. One fac tion among tho mem bers held that thero was not in this country at the present time preacher worthy of filling | Plymouth pulpit, or who could stand upon tho broad creed that had become a part of the church's history. Accord ! ingly, an invitation was extended to the Rev. Charles A. Berry, of Wolver- hampton, England, a very talented 1 CongreCationalist, and he came to Ply mouth for a time: but his ministrations, although they delighted many. did not wholly satisfy the congregation, who had become accustomed, during long years of member ship, to tho matchless eloquence of Beecher Then Rev. Lyman Abbott, tho editor of the "Christian Inion," and one of most ad- vanccd theological writers and orators of the day, vas invited. From the ! first his success seems to have been as surcd Sinco entering condition- ally upon the duties ot his now field two years ago, Dr. Abbott has, in q raro degree. won tho conti- dence of Mir. Be2vhcr'S old parishioners. 1 With commanding presence. and a fine, expressive face, in which an act i've. nervous organization can plainly be traced, Dr. Abbott's voice is tleXilG and resonant and his style on the platform is moro argumentative than declamatory, less tiorid than persuasive. His sermons arc carefully outlined in advance. although much of their elo uuence is due to the inspiration of the moment. Impressive, yet not intensely

place Of formal sermon, as is custo mary, addresses will be delivered by a number of eminent Congregational aivines.
 Not many churches have experienced fewer,everses than Plymouth. Adeclina in th>. total membership carried on it's rolls, during the past year, has given rise to the impression that the church was in its decay; that the eloquence of Beecher alone had kept it together, and that it's financial burden was be- coming too keavy to bear. This is em- phatically denied by the management of Plymouth. At the beginning of 1889 the rolls showad . nominal member ship of 2,533, of whom l,666 were women and s66 men. During the year, 69 new members were admitted, and 797 were dropped from the roll, of whom 622 are still hold as reserved list" They are not dismissed. This leaves the total mem bershlp on the roll at 1,S04, which is the smallest number at which it has stood in many years. The total number of members received into the church since the beginning was ,, IFS.
 MT. Frederick c. Manvel has long been the clerk of Plymouth Church, and was the recipient of many Of Mr. Beecher's condolences. He is an au- thority on every ything relating to the church and its missions. Speaking yesterday of the apparent decline in membership, Mir. Manvel said:
 Plymouth has done what probably no other church would have attempted. It has revised it's mem bership roll and stricken of tho names of all who ca n not be regarded as absolute members. It has not dismissed anybody; the names of those classified as reliable mem bers arc on the regular list and the other names are held as reserves on a separate list. The object in doing this was to put our membership on a practical basis. 1A sre are few churches strong enough to do this, but we are satisfied that it was wise step.'
 Few persons outside the immediate management of Plymouth Church, and some of the moro active philanthropist ts among it's mepl bers are aware of the ex tent of the m missionary field covered by the church. Under MT. Beechers fos tering care, the mustardseed he had sown during the early years of his min, istry in Brooklyn grew and fourlshed until it's roots and branches spread fal and wide Under Rev. Dr. Abbott's probationary pastorate, the same gooc work has been continued industriously Plymouth Church contains among it: members persons of all shades ot poli tics. but all are earnestly united in the desire to improve the condition of thu poor of Brooklyn.

FRED C. MAXWELL. DIR. PHILLIPS BROOKS.
 Chief among the church's auxiliaries is the Plymouth League, which was Mir. Beechcrs most cherished organiza- tion. 1t was designed to be of q partly social character, and has always been exceedingly popular among the ladies of the church. Pastoral receptions were held at the church parlors, and these were varied by receptions at the homes of the members. Mrs. Beeche1 took a special pleasure in these gather ings. and rarely failed to grace them with her presence and aid with her counsel. Under Dr. Abbotts pastorate the League will take new lease of life, and will be made a powerful in strument in church work generally.
 The two oldest and most important missions of Plymouth arc the Bethel and the Mayhower. Mr. G. N. ]udson is the manager of the former, and Henry w. Chapin conducts the latter. Rev. R. N. B Bosworth superintendS both at a salary of S2, 900. These missions were established by MT. Beecher only after Herculean efforts. and they have always been mainly dependent upon the church for support. The former has an average attendance of 800, and the latter 625. The Central Working Girls Club, with Gen. Christensen in charge, comes next. It has only re- gently been associated with Plymouth Church, and is also dependent upon it for support, costing about S700 per an mum. The Earnest Club, with head quarters at No. 8 Poplar street, is another mission auxiliary of g practical character similar to the Working Girls Cup. It is designed for the education and coop eration of working girls, and in it's cosv and well-furnished quarters there are classes in dresSmaking, millinery, cooking, reading, writing. embroidery. and plain sewing. A club for boys, un- der the management of Mir. M. V. Tup- per, is attached, which contains an excellent gymnasium, a library and other attractions calculated to instruct and improve the young people and to keep them pleasantly and protitably y employed evenings. The Earnest, Jr. Club, as it is called, has now 250 mem bers upon it's roll. The Bethel and Mayhower Missions are principally for missionary and Sunday school work. Besides those already named there are the Bethel Working Girls Club (which costs Plymouth Church $500 year, the Plymouth Band, the Young Women ! Guild, the Henry Ward Beecher Mis- sion Band. and the Henry Ward BeecheI Literary Society strong in mem ber
 ship and eminently useful in the field for which they were called into exist ence. It is now proposed to have all oi these subsidiary organizations under one roof.
 The revenues of Plymouth have been extensive for over twenty years past. During MT. Beecher's pastorate of 40 years, they steadily increased in pro. portion as it's field of activity expanded Twenty-Five thousand dollars was de | rived from the annual auction of pewi alone. The revenue last year from thii source was $17.O From other sources the income approxim ated e25, 900 moro. | The pas tors salary was the highest oi any church in America; the music cost S5,O00, and other expenditures were i1 ] tho same generous proportion.

REV. LYMAN ABBOTT, D. D. dramatic. as Beecher was. he has al ways bold and vigorous message to deliver, a tender or strong appeal to make. He prefers to deal with the morals of to-day, rather than to rake over the ashes of old theologies He is not like his great predecessor, an i'm passicned actor, an exquisite mimic by turns, yet he is strong orator, who can hold his auditors by tho virtue of sound reasoning and keen logic rather than by any brilliant yer bal pyrotechncs. He is about 15 years of ago, slender and seemingly delicate: yet the immense amount of work he can accomplish shows him to be pos sessed of greater vitality and endur- ance than appears on .he surface.
 An all-day session Will be held when the Congregational Council meets for the formal installation. Rev. Phillips Brooks of Boston. Rev. w. R. Davis of Brooklyn and Professor w. s.

ChlorofornaiDg WILD Turkeys.

Jim White owns patch of ground
near this place. The surrounding forest
abounds in wild turkeys, and in the
spring old Jim spends most OF his time
hunting their nests and occasionally cap
turing the birds alive. This he accom-
plishes in novel manner, yet the proc
ess is much more matter of fact than
spOrtslnanlike.
He first discovers the turkeys roosting
place, and then, under cover of dark
ness, he fires a brush heap near the tree,
which he has previously prepared, and
while the turkeys attention is attracted
to the flames Jim creeps up to the tree
with his appliance used for making the
capture. This consists of several sec
tions of strong bamboo rods, jointed
like a fishing rod, and may be extended
twenty CT thirty feet in length. At the
top end is secured saucer shaped yes
sci, over which small bottle is fasten-
ed, neck downward. To the cork is at
tached a cord, which runs the entire
length of the rod The bottle is then
filed with chlorofor1n, and under cover
of dark shadows Jim noiselessly elevates
the drug to within short distance OF
the turkeys nose. He then pulls the
string, causing the cork to withdraw
and allowing the drug to fall into the
vessel. The fluid is at once inhaled, and
the bird presently drops to the ground
stupe6ed. Louis Globe-Democrat.

fCl wars have been waged on the most
fimsy and foolish pretext, even if they

stranger reason for war or peace was
ever recorded than has been noted by a
French governor Of the South Pacific
colony Of New Caledonia.
This governor, who was also an ad-
miral of the navy, assumed his authority
while the natives Of New Caledonia were
still cannibals. There had been rumors
oi an insurrection, and the admiral called
before him a native chief who was faith
ful TO the French cause, and questioned
him as to their truth.
"You may be sure" said the native,
"that there viii be no war at present,
