A railroad man who is an agent for an
eastern road doing business with all the
western, southwestern and northwestern
trunk lines says that 20 per cent. of the
emigrant travel goes to the northwest.
About a month from now the bulk of
this business will have been done for the
calendar year. From hat time until
next spring the travel will be chi&y for
business or pleasure. This same OBJ
server estimates that of the citizens of
the United States fully go per cent. of
those moving from their old eastern
homes go to the new northwest in prefer
ence to the middle and southwest. In
general the southwest seems to be pre-
ferred to the middle west. The migra-
ton to the southwest and the south is
more largely from the central western
states than from the east and New Eng
land.-New York Sun.

NEwYoRK, July 25.-In Brooklyn the
trouble engendered by the roofers' strike
several weeks ago is extending rapidly
to the other trades. This morning a meet
ing of the walking delegates OF the build
ing trades section of Brooklyn was held
when the question of putting a boycott on
the bricks manufactured a. Haverstraw &
Vcrplanks point was discussed. The
reason assigned for this is because the
Brick Manufacturers Association is en-
ploying non-union men. This movement
will be far reaching as it ties up the work
on most all the buildings in Brooklyn and
jersey City. The plumbers aud gas fit
ters were ordered to tie up tomorrow.
Their action is in sympathy with the
%rooters and sheet iron workers. who are
striking for eight hours.

range in every conceivable variety, from

Seth Low is putting new life into the
venerable machinery of Columbia col
lege. he has no respect for an old rule
that does not reasonably provide for
a new contingency. For instance, a
young man not overburdened with
wealth entered the law school, paying
what was for him quite a fee. After at
tending two or three lectures business
exigencies forbade his. continuance at
study. He applied to the treasurer for
a rebate on his cash payment, only to
meet with a delay and hear a rule re-
cited against such a demand. Then he
dropped President Low a line. Within
-four hours the postoffico brought a court
eouareply and a check.-Chatter.

CoNsTANTfNoPLE, July 25.-Nelidoff,
Russian ambassador to Turkey, has been
presented with a note from Russia to the
porte declaring that the granting by Tur-
key OF the concessions demanded BY Bull
garia would humiliate the car. The
Bulgarian demands, the note says, are
maneuvres to strengthen the tottering
throne Of Prince Ferdinand and his illegal
rule. Furthermore, the note says, Bull
garia is hostile to Russia. and that the
porte's condescension to that principality
would be an unfriendly act toward Russia
and might lead to serious consequences.
The attitude of Russia, as display ed by
the note, seriously exercises the porte.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 25.-In the
Ohio Supreme Court to-day a novel and
striking spectacle presented itselfto those
who knew the circumstances A motion
for 4 new trial for Elmer Sharkey, the
boy matricide, was before the court, and
on behalf Of the state there appeared
j. L. Risinger, prosecuting attorney OF
Preble county, where the crime was
committed, who is a first cousin of the
condemned young man. There is no
enmlty between the two cousins, and Mr.,
Risinger appeared as a matter of duty.
To the few present who knew the re-
~lationship 1t was an impressive scene, as
the eloquent young attorney stood
before the last tribunal with power to
save his cousin from the scaffold and
urged the cou not to grant him a new
trial.

AToHlsoN, Kan. July 25.-All the
express companies have notified their
agents at Atchison and other border
points to take no more beer or other liquor
for Kansas points. Heretofore local
dealers on this and the other side of the
river have done a heavy bottle, jug and

nois moved that the house go into such
committee for its consideration. This
was antagonized by the Democrats in the
interest of the private calendar, but pre-
vailed-yeas l04, nays 81. A motion TO
reconsider was tabled. and the house &C
cordiDgiy went into committee.
On the demand of Rogers of'Arkansas,
the senate amendments were read IN
extenso. The reading consumed more
tina an hour. A short discussion ensued
as to the limit which should be placed
upon the general debate. The point of
dispute was the irrigation feature of the
senate amendments, Breckenridge of
Kentucky and Psyson OF Illinois contend
ing that the debate should not be limited
at this time, and Cannon of Illinois and
Sawyer of Texas arguing that it was ad-
visable that limitation should be provided.
On motion of Payson 1t was agreed that
the general debate on all portions of the
bill except the irrigation amendments
should be closed in 80 minutes, and on
these amendments a half hours debate
be allowed.
Turner of New York made a brief
speech critical of the men who controlled
the business OF the house. They had
been sighting measures reported by the
committee on labor and refusing to fix a
time for their consideration.
Breckenridge of Kentucky favored
the nat amendment which provides for
the repeal of the law for the selection aud
location of the reservoirs and canals upon
public lands and reservations of irrigable
lands.
Vandeyer of California opposed the
senate amendment, which be asserted
would rebound 10 the interest of the great
land spectators.
Cannon of Illinois opposed the senate
amendment. If adopted it opened 3.00O,-
600 acres not only to homestead settle
ment but to desert land, timber culture
and presumption settlement, under which
any citizen could take up 1000 acres OF
land. An acre of this land, upon which
water could be obtained, was equal to at
least three acres of land 10 Illinois. IT it
were adopted all the reservoir sites would
be opened under the homestead, preemp-
ton, desert land and timber culture laws.
Pending further debate the committee
rose and the house took a recess.

A movement is on foot in England foy
an exhibit of all the new apparatuses
which have been devised for the benefit
and relief of invalids. 1t is to be under
the charge of the English Association of
Trained Nurses, and will certainly be
instructive. Nursing is now recognized
as an art and a profession. If one should
consider for a moment the class of nurses
which an invalid may now summon to
his aid, and should look back to the days
of Sairy Camp and Betsy Prig. he may
be able to comprehend what such an ex-

A Soft Answer.

The Bible says: GA soft answer
turneth away wrath" The Irish
Times tells of a case in which a gentle
action served the same purpose: A
brave, active, intelligent terrier, be-
longing to lady friend, one day dis
covered a monkey, belonging to an
itinerant organ-grinder, seated upon a
bank within the grounds, and at once
made a dash for him. The monkey,
who was attred in jacket and hat,
awaited the onset in such undisturbed
tranquility that the dog halted within a
few feet of him to reconnoiter. Both
animals took long, steady stare at
each other, but the dog evidently was
recovering from his surprise, and was
about to make spring for the intruder.
AT this critical juncture the monkey,
who had remained perfectly quiet hith-
erto, raised his paw and gracefully sa-
luted by lifting his hat. The effect
was magical. The dogs head and tail
dropped, and he sneaked off to the
house, refusing to leave it until his
polite but mysterious guest had de-
parted" 1t takes two to quarrel al
ways, and if one won't the other can't.

A Touching Incident.

The following story, although not
new, has in it so much of genuine
pathos that it will bear repetition. A
little lame boy, the only child of a
widow, was left at her death helpless
and unprovided for among strangers.
After the funeral grief made him so i'll
that, in his naturally weak condition, it
was soon evident that he would not
long survive hi only friend. He was
alone much of The day, there being no
one who could spare the time to stay
with him. 1t was often noticed that
the voices of two persons could be heard
in his little room, But when those in
charge entered he would be alone and
apparently asleep. One day they lis
tened, being quite sure that no one was
with the child, and they overheard this
monologue: lis you right there,
mammal" Yes, my little boy, | is
right here" " Was you went away
yet?' | vented back to heaven to
tell God about my little boy" "Did
you was afraid, mammal" "No, my
own little boy, cause God is nicer'n
peoples" "Did YOU tell him about
me, mammal" " folded him | had
little boy named Harry-an'-an'-"
There was a loud noise of sobbing then,
and the listeners without cried. too.
Presently the child's voice resumed:
. Did you told God to let me come up
there, mammal" " Yes, my boy, an
he said, 'Bimeby, bimeby,'" Mamma,
L se-so-tired-an an '-sleepy-an'
| want to come an stay with-you-
and-God." There was long silence
then, broken by sobs. The listeners
wentin, after resolving in their hearts to
be thereafter very patient with the moth
erless one. But the next day he went
home to his mother. " Bimeby" had
come. -Erchdnqe.

rich, a Difference TO social position
with special efforts to attract and please
this class. Worldly symptoms in the
pulpit are seen in the manner and
makeup of the sermon, its artistic
taste, its literary trend, its purpose to
please. Sensation is worldly, most of
the fine preaching is worldly. The
falling to have large ingredient Of the
reprove, rebuke and exhort" in
sermon gives it worldly flavor The
falling to be instant, as Paul directs
that is, leaving out the pressing, pun
gent, personal element, for instant
means to come in upon them-the fail
ing to do this in season and out of
season gives smack of worldliness to
the sermon. The toning down truth to
suit the tastes of the congregation is a
worldly symptom of grievOus form.
The failure to rebuke worldiness in the
pew in an arraigning and convicting
form is to be worldly. If the pulpit
has any alloy of self, any desire for
money, popularity or praise, it is to that
degree worldly, for these are unmis-
taxable symptoms of wordliness.-St
Louis AdyOcdte.
