dropped on his knees in the wagon.
For awhile he prayed around his sub
iect as if afraid to touch it. Gradually,
however, his faith strengthened, and In
a voice which bade fair to arouse the
neighborhood he besought the owner
of the cattle on thousand hills to
move the hearts and legs of those stub
born oxen. The prayer was uncon-
scionably long. and no sooner had it
ended than the impatient driver pre-
pared to start his team.
STOP" said Elder John, descending
from his wagon; "as | have done the
praying 1 feel that ought to do the
driving. You hold my horse and give
me the goad stick
The man consented to the arrange
ment, and with a grin waited to see the
parson worsted. At that moment
another OK team was seen approaching
from another direction.
"Halloo, neighbor!" the practical
parson shouted to the newcomer.
''Lend me your cattle for moment"
Hold onr' cried the owner of the
mired cart. That's not fair. If you
can handle this team better by praying
than l can by swearing l want to see
you do it; but no doubling up, mind
you; no doubling up
Elder Johns robust figure was drawn
to its fullest height and his voice was
like the roar of the ocean as he an
swered: my friend, the Master serve
is abundantly able to move this load
with single yoke of oxen-or without
any oxen at all; but when in direct an
swer to prayer he sends me an extra
pair of cattle I'm going to hook 'em
on!' No further objection was raised,
and with the aid of reinforcements the
loaded cart was easily drawn out Of
the mud.-LewiSton Journal.

NIGH UNTO DEATH.
A Steamer Collides With an Excur-
sion Barge in New York Harbor.


ASTORIA, L. l., Special.-The coasting
steamer Eleanora, while bound eastward
through He'll Gate to-day, collided with
the Walter Sands, one of the two barges
lashed together upon which were between
1000 and 1900 men, women and children,
in tow of the tug boat Idlewild. 1t is al
most miracle that a terrible disaster and
great loss of life did not follow. For
tunately, however. no one was killed,
though several were injured. Those whose
injuries are most serious, and who were
taken to Bellevue hospital, New York, are:
Henry Elk, cut on the head; Edmund
O'Brien, badly cut about the head and face;
George Lang, internal injuries; Mrs. Slattery,
nose split open; Mrs. Jennings, cut about the
head and face; Willie Jennings, four years old,
badly cut about the body; Mary Smith, cuts on
the head and face; Henry Oxie, cuts and bruises
on head, face and hands.
All OF the above reside in Elizabeth, N.
J. About twenty persons IN all were in
iured by flying pieces. but all except
those named above were able to go to their
homes. Had the steamer struck the barge
more squarely there is no telling
what the result might have been. There
was intense excitement for few moments.
The women screamed and tainted and the
children Joined in with chorus of cries.
Some half-crazed men wanted to jump into
the water with their families, but the cap
tains of the barges quieted their fears in
measure by assuring them that there was
no further danger.

PASSWORDS MOTIVE,
Financial Difficulties Believed to
Have Dethroned His Reason.

TACOMA, Wash, Special Telegram,
The mystery surrounding the motive
for the suicide of r. FL. Passmore, cashier
of the Security bank, has been cleared up.
To a gentleman with whom he passed
portion of the evening previous to his
death, he spoke of being IN Strengthened
circumstances and expressed the hope fer
vently that Mr.. Boyle, who has rented his
home since Mrs. PASSWORDS absence, would
continue to remain there; as he very much
needed the income derived therefrom. He
has been for some time severely troubled
over his financial affairs, seeing no chance
to recover the losses on his investments,
since those who knew him best and to
whom he naturally looked for pecuniary
assistance had refused him. He evidently
resolved that it was easier to face his God
than his fellowmen.
Until recently he was possessed of some
means, which he invested in real estate,
principally in Anacerks and Fairhaven.
The property was not bought outright, only
the first payments being made, and the
property not advancing as rapidly as he ex-
pected, the second payments were due, and,
being unable to meet them, his entire for
tune would be swept away unless his friends
would advance him sufficient means to tide
him over. His friends claim to have Of
fered the desired assistance, but if offered,
it did not come with that spontaneity that
inspired confidence in their promises,
or he would not Immediately there
after have permitted it to weigh so
heavily on his mind; that when thinking
OF his ill health. that any day the only sup
port of his beloved wife and children might
be taken away, his reason was dethroned
and he took his mad resolve. Passmore was
not of strong mind. The seeds of insanity
were said to be in the family, and a sister
now living in Milwaukee is under restraint
That financial distress was the motive
which led to suicide is evidenced by the
fact that he had disposed of his bank stock
and had made several vain appeals for as
sistance.

there is any increase at all, will not half pay the

are raising sheep for wool on high-priced lands,

Morphine and Druggists in France.

The French government is taking
vigorous measures to suppress the
morphine habit by furnishing the drug
gists who sell the drug to persons
whom they know to be addicted to its
use. One druggist who had been con-
victed of this offense in one district and
had paid the penalty has been refused
a diploma in another district where he
had opened new shop.

An Insane Murderer's Attempt to
Escape Arrest.


DELHI, N. Y, Special.--In the Hamlet
Barbourville, Delaware county, on July 4,
Albert Cumming, who is undoubtedly in
sane, inflicted wounds upon Sylvanus Pal
merton which resulted in his death in less
than twenty-fo hours. When the neigh
bors tried to arrest Cumming he attacked
them with kniie. Three or four times he
made the crowd flee before him. The farm-
ers armed themselves with shotguns, and
Cumming was shot in the legs and
wounded in the head. He continued to
slash right and left, but finally, the farm
ers pointing their shotguns at his head and
telling him they would kill him if he did
not surrender, he threw down the knife. He
was brought to Jail here. To-day while
Sheriff Macarthur was giving him food he
would in all probability have been strangled
by the madman had ii. not been for the as
sfstance rendered by the prisoners, who had
lust been let out OF their cells into the cor
ridor. Cumming Is about forty years of
age.

There used to be singular custom
at Holland house. The last Lord Hol-

of the family that he had been shot,
and every night for years, punctually

hind the house for the purpose, as the
vulgar said, of soaring the conscience
of the murdered. The gun has not
been heard for some wears now.

SHOWED THEIR HAND.

French Senators Outspoken in Their
Attitude Toward Ameri can Pro-
ducts.
PARIS. Specialize senate this week has
shown its hand plainly in regard to Ameri-
can questions. After long debate it final
ly voted in favor of a duty of 3 francs on
corn, and supplemented this by iinposi ng a
duty OF 6 francs on corn meal.
During the closing debate it was distinct
ly avowed that the duty on corn was to be
considered only continuation of the nine
year-old policy toward American pork.
Comte Foucher de CARL declared that the
importation of American pork was only an
other mode of importing American corn,
and French farmers could not maintain
themselves against it. The prohibition of
pork was right and ought to be maintained,
but the duty on corn should also be made
prohibitive.
M. Millaud called attention to the fact
that American pork is only prohibited on
the ground of its alleged unhealthfulness.
He declared that this is merely pretext.
Other members said that it was all right
and the prohibition ought to be main
tanned.
ADVOCATING RECIPROCITY.
LONDON, Speclak-JuSt now the tories are
looking around for new issue that may
be popular enough to divert attention from
series OF pitiiul legislative failures. and
the Conservative cheers which greeted the
proposal of Col Howard Vincent, that the
house should consider whether free mar
ket should be longer given to the competing
productions of ioreign state putting pro-
| hibitiye duties upon British goods" are sig
nificant of the growing feeling in the gov
ernment ranks. Col. Vincent is an enthu-
siast in favor. not of absolute protection,
| but of reciprocity, and he holds that only
| those nations should be admitted which ex-
| tend equal facilities to the trade and to the
| commerce of Great Britain. His sentiments
are spreading rapidly. not only in parlia-
ment, but among the working people Of the
| country. many of whom find themselves
| threatened with loss of employment by the
American tariff bill, while many others are
| out of employment through the fierce COM
| petition of Germany and other countries,

The Best Advertising

The most efficient advertising in be-
half of Hoods Sarsaparilla is that which
comes from the medicine itself. That
is, those who are cured by it, speak TO
friends suffering similarly, who in
turn derive benefit and urge others to
try this successful medicine. Thus the
circle of its popularity is rapidly widen
ing from this cause alone, and more
and more are becoming enthusiastic in
behalf of Hoods Sarsaparilla as it actu-
ally demonstrates its absolute merit.
All that is asked for Hoods Sarsaparil-
la is that it be given fair trial. If you
need good blood purifier. or building
up medicine, try Hood Sarsaparilla.
