1.-THE MISSION OF AN ORGAN.
How Its Music Converted n Saloon
Keeper.


Some one with a cottage organ
moved into house next saloon. The
house was double and the saloon and
the parlor adjoined, so that what trans
PRED in one place could be plainly
heard in the other.
Now it occurred that sweet child of
the lady possessing the organ died, and
the fat, wheezy landlord professed
much sympathy, but it did not extend
any further after the little boys burial
than the next Saturday night, when a
number of rough drinking men met in
the saloon to have some violin music,
and as the nature of the pieces being
rendered was anything but soul sooth-
ing the poor, lonely-hearted mother
wrung her hands in anguish and Won
dered what she could do.
Then she thought of the organ, and
going over softly to it she raised the
lid and began playing the well-known
tune of Martyr, and as she played she
sang:
Jesus, Lover of my SOUL
Let me to Thy bosom fly;
While the raging pillows roll,
While the tempest Still is high.
Hide me. o. my Saviour! hide,
Till the storm Of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide
Oh, receive my soul at last"
She had played but one verse of the
sweet hymn when all became quiet in
the ,Abarroom, and the lady felt sure
from the solemn hush that they were
all listening. Then she lifted up si-
lent prayer that the hymn she was
playing might prove a lasting blessing;
and so God ordained, for when the lady
ceased playing, sobbing ready to break
her heart, all the shutters of the saloon
were closed and the place was shut for
the night
The next evening the saloon keeper
sent in two lady mem bers of his family
to beg the lady to play and sing:
Jesus, Lover OF my soul"
Wonderingly, the lady complied.
Still more strange, he sent in again
and again for the same, until both the
music and the words became so
monotonous, that the lady longed for
something else just for change.
But the organ, together with the
sweet words, accomplished their
mission. The hard heart was soft
ened, and the saloon keeper found him
sely longing to be able to make those
words the sweet prayer of his own
heart. In the midst of these new,
strange desires he was taken sick.
He then sent for a preacher to pray for
him, and tried to make preparations
for death.
During his death-agony, the lady
who owned the organ said to him:
For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that who
soever should believe on Him, might
not perish, but have everlasting life. "
"Oh, yes" he replied; II know all
that, but l am so tired, so tired'-and
SO he died. 1t is TO be hoped that the
man was saved, for he repented and
believed, and God is very merciful.
The man left will ordering that his
saloon be closed forever, and that his
children should always attend church
and Sunday school. One more less
saloon brought about by an organ. A
bow drawn at a venture, when ac-
companied by prayer, often accom-
plishes more than stated, formal work.

United States Marshal Gard seized the
Chilian steamer Etata, now receiving sup
plies in the harbor, and placed Captain
Mauzeum under arrest. kilograms have
been passing between this city and the de-
partment at Washington, which brought
about the above results. The tug boats

one of which is supposed to be the
schooner Robert md Minnie, and the
other q warship belonging to the insur-
gents, which have been lowering around
the entrance to the harbor to receive the
supplies taken on board the Etata. The
warship was first sighted about noon yes
terday passing north. Ten hours later she
repassed the harbor going south, laying
10 Just north of Coronado Island.
Customs Officer Berry sent a
party out to investigate, who re-
ported seeing large vessel under
steam which they could not approach
closer than two miles on account OF her
steaming away from them. Orders were re-
ceived from Secretary Blaine to seize
both vessels if found within the three
mile limit, and Marshal Gard and Col
lector Berry we out last nj, ,ht n differ

three thousand pounds of dressed meat
from the ferry-boat Coronado. The yes

Strike of Station Agents and Operators on

"A Boycott That Works Both Ways.
CHICAGO. Jan. 20.-Appearances indi-
cate that the strike of the Milwaukee &
st. Paul roads operators will shortly
end in victory for the railway company.
General Manager Earnings chief clerk
said yesterday that all but sixty-four
of the men had gone back and that those
still out were attempting to regain their
old positions. At the strikers head
quarters it is admitted that number of
strikers have returned to work.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 20.-Two stations
on the Council Bluffs division of the
Chicago, Milwaukee K ST. Paul railroad
in Iowa have been closed because the
people boycotted the new agents en-
ployed in the places of strikers.
Superintendent Clark says stations
will be closed in every instance where
boycotting tactics are resorted to, as
the company can better afford to close
some of the stations affected by the
strike than to keep them open.

was reviewed by the Governor and staff.
The parade over, the Governor was es-
corted to the Executive Mansion. The
crowd in and about the Capitol and on
the streets was immense, but all passed
off in good order and nothing occurred
to mar the harmony of the occasion.
In his inaugural address, Governor
Pattison advocates legislation to proper
ly guard against the encroachments of
corporations, while dealing fairly with
all interests. This is the spirit of the
StaSe constitution, but has not been en-
forced, especially as to the article which
prohibits discrimination and extortion.
The Governor earnestly advocates the
Australian ballot system as remedy
for existing abuses of the suffrage, and
in order that the system may be adopted
he urges the early calling of constitu-
tional convention to remove from the
constitution the provision requiring
every ballot to be marked for Identified
ton, and the provision that non-regis-
tration shall not debar an elector from
voting. The reasons for these provis-
ions, he says, no longer exist and they
are hindrance to ballot reform.
The Governor next discusses taxation,
which he says is now unequal and un-
fair in many ways. Homes and farms
bear a vastly disproportionate share of
the burden, while personal property
and idle capital largely escape their
share. The "a, on corporations, which

A TEST CASE.

Constitutionality of the McFin .ey Tarii
Bill to be Tested in n Circuit Court.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 21.-Messrs- Rowell
& Ferris, attorneys for Charles H. Wy
man & Co., have filed an application in
the United States Circuit Court praying
that court to order the board of general
appraisers at New York to produce
their records for review. The action is
in reality an attack against the consti-
tutionality of the Mckinley bill, and is
brought in the nature of an appeal from
the decision of the general board of ap-
praisers made on several importations
to Wyman & Co. last October. The i'm
ported articles were classified and as
sessed by the collector of customs here
under the Mckinley bill The importers
protested and claim that the duty
should be assessed under the old law.
The matter was referred to the general
board of appraisers and they sustained
the collector. The application alleges
that the Mckinley bill is unconstitu-
tional, on the ground that the bill signed
and approved by the President is not
the bill passed by Congress.

AT SPRECKELS' MERCY.

The millionaire Sugar Manufacturer Will
Have Full Control of the Market When
April I Arrives.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31.-Fully 1000
tons of bonded Java sugar lie in the
warehouses on Mission rock in San
Francisco Bay. 1t is the property of
Claus Spreclels and will be held there
till April 1. when, under the provisions
of the Mckinley bill, it will be admitted
into the country duty free. For months
Spreckels has been keeping pace with
the Java sugar planters in buying and
storing their product. He has fairly
bled the sugar market, and now has the
greater portion of the years output
under his control. After April 10 con-
sumption of sugar in this country will
increase, it is expected, from fifty-seven
to seven-seven per cent, possibly to
eighty per cent, or equal to the con-
sumption in Great Britain and other
free trade countries. There will then
be an enormous demand for sugar,
which will only be obtainable then at
the prices which Spreekels chooses to
set upon it
