NAVIGATION ON THE LAKES.

1t Is Only Occasionally That Shore Ice In
terferes.
F. E. Randall, General Eastern Agent of the
Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Company,
doesn't think that the recent cold snap will in
terfere with navigation.
There is too much commotion IN the water
to allow it to freeze" he said yesterday. "The
truth is that the lakes never freeze. We are
sometimes bothered with shore ice, but that is
all Very often after a storm. when the surface
of the water seems to be perfectly smooth,
there is strong undercurrent that makes the
boats rock The winds easily lash the lake
waters, and there is not much opportunity for
ice to form at any time"

Expected River Baptisms Yesterday Did
Not Take Place.
A report was given out yesterday that bap-
tismal service would be held in the Allegheny.
at the Ninth street bridge. Quite 4 number
of persons took occasion to go down that way,
ont of curiosity, but the immersion party did
not show up. Whether it was too cold or the
river too high is not known. Several clerical
looking colored gentlemen were observed
sizing up the condition of the river and weigh
ing the temperature of the wind which rushed
down from the north. but ere they could be
interrogated they took hasty departure.
1t is stated that there will be quite number
of ceremonies as soon as the river and weather
permit.

SALT THAT NEEDS SALTING.
Rev. George T. Purves' Sermon on Topic
of Considerable Interest.

Rev. George Il. Purves sermon on TOPIC
of Considerable Interest.
Rev. George T. Purves preached last evening
in the First Presbyterian Church Wood street,
on ''Salt that has lost its savor." He quoted
Christs language to the disciples which
applied to all protesting Christians. 'Ye are
the light" 'Ye are the salt Of the EARTH"
II am the vine and ye are the branches" He
said the true Christian gives a flavor which
extends through all animated nature. God
does not want to save the world by angels but
through men, The real Christian is the moral
salt of the earth.
1t then behooved the real Christian to act
consistently with his profession. If there was
anything that God abhorred 1t was hypocrisy,
and that would certainly lose the SAVIOR Of the
salt, and If the salt hath lost its SAVIOR where
with shall it be salted?" He reviewed the
various faults which existed in the average
Christian. and which, although not henous
faults, yet the SAVIOR of the salt was lost, and
concluded by exhorting all to live up to the
requirements indicated in the text. "Ye are
the salt of the EARTH"

A LESSON TO YOUNG AND OLD.
Rev. B. F. Wooaburn's Lecture on Timely
Subject.

Rev. B. F. Woodburn, pastor of the Sandus1y
Street Baptist Church. Allegheny, selected as
his text the words "Paul, nevertheless" from
a Bible quotation. He said it was mistake to
think that the young had not as much troubles
as the old. For this reason a sermon intended
for the old was equally applicable to the young
Paul understood this, and made light of no
mans trouble, as he realized the truth that
whatever created worry, doubt or vexation
must have cause.
If it was possible to know all of each ones
sorrows, cares and anXieties. it might be pos
sible to relieve them, but as it was none should
be thought beneath consideration.

Livestock Notes.

]. B. Kiser writing on the good quail
ties of the shorthorn, both for beef and
dairy purposes says:
While shorthorns stand to-day at the
head of all breeds as beef animals, yet
they possess dairy strains to an extent
with which no other beef breeds can be-
gin to compare. These strains should be
fostered and developed; therefore do not
lose sight of the value of dairy strains
in the breeding bull. My model of
shorthorn bull would be one that
weighs at maturity not less than 2OOO
pounds nor more than 2300 pounds, red
or roam in color; his nose nut brown or
copper colored; his eye clear and bright;
his head well proportional, broad and
full bt ween the eyes; his horns of medi-
um length, strong and well set, curving
in and down rather than upward; the
neck in proportion to his body-not too
long nor too short; it should be little
full midway between the horns and top
of shoulder and clean cut and slightly
arched from the throat to the breast
His front broad, deep and full; his
shoulders set smoothly on his body; his
arm strong and well developed; his legs
wide apart, YET set well under his body;
straight, clean cut and fine from the
knee to the hoof; from the top of the
shoulder to the root of his tail straight
aud broad; well filled behini the shoul-
ders and from point of hip TO root of tail,
and strong across the loins. His body
good length and depth; his ribs well
sprung and closely coupled TO the hip;
his lower line almost parallel with his
upper line; his headquarters broad ana
we'll developed, tied low down; his hind
legs straight and strong. He should
stand square on his feet. His tail set on
q level with his back, small and taper
ing, his hide loose and mellow; his hair
fine, thick and good length. Animals
of pronounced dairy strains are usually
of tougher build than those of beef
type.

Bryan of the Worlds fair directory, re-
signed his position this evening. He
also resigned as director. Mr.. Bryan
has taken prominent part in the
Worlds fair movement from

sudden resignation caused no small

with brief paragraph announcing that
the coming election of a director general
should relieve the directory from the ne
cessity Of having and paying for the
services of an active president. The let
ter then continues through several pages
of type written copy wholly devoted to
the self-defense of Mr.. Bryan against
the charges that he got $40 ZOO to go to
Georgia, and did not get the vote of a
single congressman OF Georgia for Chi
caGo; that Mr.. Bryan sent his son to
Sweden for Information which consul
in this country could have furnished, and
that the gentleman who has been Sc

Western Range Horses.

The native horse of the West possesses
more endurance than any other class of
equlnes, not excepting the famous thor
oughbreds. Drives of thirty to fifty
miles at the rate of ten miles an hour are
frequently made, without injury to ami
mails. We have known teams to go
twelve miles an hour with ease, and
with ordinary good care horses will travel
in this country $50 miles in six consecu-
tive days. On Monday of this week
DR.. Prick was called to the mountains
southeast of here. He started at about
sunrise and made his trip of eighty-five
miles, arriving home at shutdown. The
next morning his team, pair of West
ern ''cow ponies' that have worked in
several round-ups under the saddle, ana
never until a year or so ago knew any
thing of stables and grain feed, were ap-
parently in condition to repeat the trip
Such horses. when matched and well
trained TO harness, are sold at prices
ranging from S65 to 500 each. In the
Eastern states horses capable of making
such trips are valued in the hundreds of
dollars, and they are very scarce .-GCol-
