When We feel the narrowness of
these lives Of ours, each in its own
small circle we are consoled by know
ing that every star must move with
in it's limits, though space be around
it.
The rich are only enviable in one
attribute-their power to help the
poor.
1t is only in looking on death that
we cosaprehend Immortality, and on
ly utter WEAKNESS gives promise Of
perfect rest.
The friend who becomes q lover
continues still to be friend; but the
lover who becomes friend ceases
forever to be lover.
When it is said of man that he
treats men and women just alike, you
may be sure he treats them all as II
they we're men.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof; but sufficient unto lifetime
is often the evil Of single day.
Children are taught more than
they ever learn, and learn more than
they are ever taught.
Our bodies live in houses, because
our souls live in bodies.
Wisdom, like many other human
attributes, is only for the time. We.
are wise to-day, that tomorrow we
may look back and say, "How fool
ish we were!'
The desire to teach is stronger than
the desire to learn. We only study
that we may he enabled to impart
again.

There is man in Washington, ID.
c., who has the biggest head in the
world. His name is Lotus Jones
Parker, and his head measures a lit
tie more than 32 inches around. The
girth of the average mans head 10
about 81 inches.
Mr. Parker is As years old, and is
respected citizen of tho capital. He
has been business ma, with place
on Louisiana avenue, rear Seventh
street, but for about twenty years he
has been leading retired life. He
did not retire upon the accumula-
tions of an active business career, as
many worthy men do. but upon =
bonus or subsidy given by three no.
ted physicians of Washington, who
wanted to secure hi- remarkable
head for an autopsy WIN he came to
shake off the mortal coil.
That subsidy was lcgun twenty
years ago. He was then 2S years
old, and the enterprising medicine
men thought then that he would not
live much longer, TIny could not
see how man with so big head
and so small a body to eed it could
hold out beyond 33 years, the aver
age of human life. s., the epdow-
ment was set aside for his main
tsnance, the conditions being that be
was not permanently to leave the
District of Columbia, and that the
doctors were to have his body for
scientific purposes wh,n he had no
further use for it.

ABOVE THECLOUDS.
The Stars ands Stripes to Wave 1900
Feet Above the Ground at the
Worlds Fair.


The Stars and Stripes are to wave
] 200 feet above the ground, higher
than any other flag waved before.
1t is to be done during the Worlds
Fair, from an American tower that
out Eiffels Paris.
Over $4,000 people will be accom-
modated in the tower at one time,
and two of the many elevators are to
start from the ground and run more
than one thousand feet up without
change or stop, directly to the look
out landing. The tower at the
foundation is 440 feet square After
long negotiations the Keystone
Bridge Company, of Pittsburg, one
of Andrew Carnegie's concerns, has
made offers in writing that are sat
isfactory to the promoters.
The Keystone Company has
agreed in writing to construct the
metal portion of the tower and have
it completed February l, 1898. The
cost will be $1,500,000. Eiffel tower
cost less than $l,000,000.
There will be three landings, cir
cular platforms, the first $50 feet in
diameter and 200 feet from the
ground. The second $50 feet in di-
ameter, 400 feet from the ground and
the upper landing, sixty feet in di-
ameter and one thousand feet above
ground. At the first landing there
will be grand colonnade around
the outside. On this colonnade four
or five thousand people can be ac
commodated at one time. Inside
of the colonnade, will be space suifi-
cient to build four hotels or restau-
rants.
1t addition TO the restaurants
there will be booths constructed in
accordance with the architecture,
styles and customs of various coun-
tries, which will be used for the sale
of corios from all lands. Within the
restaurants 5000 or 5000 may be
served at one time. The second
landing is designed as Il grand
promenade and picnic quarters in
the day time and as a dancing hall
in The evening. 1t will accommo-
date at one time 5000 to 6000. The
upper landing is to be finished as the
grand lookout and will accommodate
1900 Above this will be four offices
for signal service and scientific in
vestigation. Above this will be the
circular electric railway, carrying
electric lights at hight and signals
by day. Above this is the light
house, to be provided with the most
powerful revolving light ever con-
structed, surmounted by the flag
staff and the stars and stripes.

TOOK THE FORT.
But the Citizens Capture the Cannon.
John Browns Fort Removed from liar.
pers Ferry to Chicago.

Considerable excitement was cans.
ed in Harper's Ferry yesterday by
the action of the persons who pur-
chased John Browns Fort for the pur
pose of exhibiting it at the World
Fair. Not being satisfied with re.
moving the fort foundation and also
the ground on which il stood, they
attempted yesterday to take cannon
presented TO the town in 1878 through
the influence Of Congressman Chas.
j. Faulkner, of West Virginia. The
news having spread through the town
the citizens rapidly collected with
the intention of recapturing the can
non. The citizens were called upon
by Acting Mayor Daniels. Arriving
at the point of shipment the parties
in charge of the fort were asked by
whose authority they claimed the
gun. They replied they had an order
from the Secretary of War, but were
unable to produce it. The people
Immediately took possession of the
cannon and pulled it to place of Sc
curity, Licking it up and placing it
under guard. The town proving a
little unpleasant for them the pur-
chasers of the fort Immediately left
for parts unknown.
The fort passed through this city
this morning enroute to Chicago. 1t
was loaded on eight cars and was
guarded by eight men, in order to
prevent any of the relics from being
taken.-Cumberldnd Times.

The choice of Minneapolis as the
place of meeting of the next Nation
al Republican Convention instead of
Chicago, is significant of the altered
fortunes Of the republican party in
the great Northwest. That section,
once the stronghold of the party, has
in recent elections been showing
signs of disloyalty. The democrats
have made large gains in it, and, if
nothing occurs to reverse existing
tendencies, they expect in the near
future to effect its permanent capture.
If, however, the prosperous and grow
ing young States of the Northwest
are prizes worthy of democratic eff
fort, they are equally valuable to the
republicans, and the selection of Min
neapolis for the home of the next
party convention is the first of SER
les of efforts that are to be made to
win the Northwest back to it's former
political creed. Interest in "the grand
old party" will be revived, it is felt,
by the spectacle of enthusiasm the
convention will present Chicago has
been city Of good omen in the past,
but the political storm centre is now
further West. It remains to be seen
whether the Chicago luck will follow
the convention.
New York undoubtedly had claims,
if a new choice was to be made. If
conventions make votes, New York
is State which needs all it can get.
Hard to carry in the past, it will
probably be still harder to carry in
the future, now that the democrats
control the Legislature, as well as
the governorship, and will by 1892
have greatly strengthened their po-
sition. The preference for Minnea-
polls over both Chicago and New
York indicates, accordingly, a con-
viction on the part of the managers
that the Northwest is in great dan
ger, and that new situation calls
for new measures. 1t is, at the same
time, it must be admitted, confes-
sion of weakness.
The date, June Z, fixed upon for
the meeting of the party convention,
is sufficiently early. 1t allows for
campaign of nearly five months in
which to discuss the tariff issue. The
decision of 1888 was made, it has
heen said, after an insufficient study
of the nature and effects of so called
protection" BY November, 1892,
the people viii understand it as well
as they ever Baltimore Sun.

that he formed the habit of express

possibly be disputed; saying, rather

This habit he said, was of great ad
vantage to him in persuading the
people to adopt his views, and also
helped him to gather much valuable
knowledge which otherwise would
have been withheld, for, as a rule

Canses the Destruction of the M. r.
Church at Wellsville, Ohio.

The Wellsville, Ohio Union, tells
of the destruction Of the Methodist
Protestant Church of that place, oil
which Rev. James A Selby, is pas
tor. The congregation and the pas
tor have our sympathy in their loss.
The particulars as given, read thus:
The church is but charred ruins
to day. A little before four o'clock
this morning George loot, happen
ing to look out his window saw
flames break out the side of the
church facing the east and instantly
shouted the alarm. Aust Bowers
heard his cry and rushed to the
church. When he arrived the flames
were but one or two feet wide and
six or eight high but climbing for the
roof At that time few pals of
water would have drowned the fire
but there was no one to help him.
The door resisted his efforts to break
it open then he rushed for key to
turn in the alarm but fifteen or
twenty valuable minutes were lost In
finding the key, and by the time the
East End firemen had responded TO
the call and were on the ground the
flames were beyond control. Lon
Fogo now appeared and the door of
the basement was burst open, when
they were greeted with the breath of
"a furnace and the heater was glow
ing mass. The two men fell TO work
with will carrying out the furniture
below. Frank Menough and another
or two arrived and gave assistance.
Thus all the furniture below was
gotten to place of safety and the
organ from above, but it was badly
damaged, possibly ruined. About ev-
cry thing was out by the time the
firemen arrived and they piled the
water with vim, but could do no
good except to save adjoining build
ings. The West End boys were very
late in getting on the ground They
played upon the building until day
before the last spark was extinct, and
the building above the basement was
almost totally destroyed, and the
building worthless. There was So, 900
insurance on the building and some
what on the furniture.
The fire originated with the heat
er, but whether through neglect of
the janitor to turn the gas entirely
of after prayer meeting or through
the efforts of a night prowler to get
a warm lodging is not known. The
janitor, however, protests that he
turned the gas off before going home.
The M. z. people are left in a bad
situation-without church and
without the means to build one, be-
ing weak numerically and financial
ly. Mans extremity is Gods OPP
portunity, however, and doubtless it
will be put in the hearts of the Chris
tian people of this town and COM
munity to rally to the succer of their
destitute brethren and help them rear
on their new lot, on Main near Tenth
street, church edifice which will
be an honor to the congregation who

anticipated erecting a new one.
