The Gospel Wagon.

Baltimore American.
The Gospel wagon made it's first
appearance on the streets OF Balti-
more yesterday. The wagon was built
by the Free Sunday Association and
will be in charge of Rev. Kinley Nc
MILAN, assistant pastor of the Central
Presbyterian church. The wagon
was built by the Lenhardt Wagon
company, on Saratoga street, a. Il is
very handsome. 1t is fifteen
feet long, seven feet wide and
seven feet high and Will easily a,.
commodate thirty people. On tb9
sides of the wagon is painted In gold
Gospel Wagon" At n side is a
platform on which is q desk forming
q pulpit. This shoves out from the
body of the wagon, and there the
preacher stands and exhorts sinners
to repent and lead good christian
lives. In the from part OF the wagon
Is placed an organ. Seats run length
wise, and on them sit the choir.
Yesterday afternoon. shortly after
8 O'Clock, the wagon, drawn by four
horses, left the Free Sunday Break
fast Associations rooms on Fayette
street and went to Lafayette market,
where the first services were held.
In the wagon were: Rev.C. g. Bailey,
of Washington, who runs the
Gospel wagon over there; Rev. Kinley
McMillen, Rev. F. M. Ellis. Mr.. w.
G. Black burn, Mr.. John r.. Cary,
Harry K. Muller, Mr.. McIIane and
several others. AS oOn as the wagon
stopped, q crowd of fully 200 people
gathered around. Mr.. Bailey stepped
out on the platform, and explained
the use of the wagon. The first wagon
of this kind, he said, started in
Washington, but was an omnibus. 1t
did such good work that the people
of Washington built q wagon, costing
$500, and 1t was now doing q vast
amount of good and many souls were
being saved. A hymn was sung, after
which Mr.. Bailey asked those on the
streets to lift their hats, and q prayer
was offered. Another hymn vas sung
and Mr.. Bailey made q few remarks
in which he told of several cases of
drunkards who were now Christians,
through the good work of the gospel
wagon in Washington.

Shetland Ponies.

The conventional Shetland pony
| the animal represented in picture
| books-namely, about forty or forty
four inches high, very tight jointed,
| and with an impossible growth Of
hair all over him, is just about as
bad type of this famous race as can
well imagined. From his build he is
generally short-winded and thor
oughly impracticabie in his PAGES.
A South Mainland specimen, on the
other hand, long and rakish In build
hard grown as the saying is-and
clean Hmbed, will far surpass his
companion In staying power. One Of
this hardy breed-in our opinion the
ideal Shetland pony-has been known
to travel from Sumberg to Lerwick
and back the same day, with q toll
erably heavy riding weight, say fifty
SIX miles altogether of extremely
billy road. But, minor differences
apart, there are certain characteris-
discriminating tests in their way
with the experienced judge-which
60 to the makeup" of 8 Shetland,
as distinguished from an Iceland or
Farce pony-e. e., q certain unmis-
taxable breadth of build, set of past
ems, and, more particularly, an apa-
thetic air which no other breed pos
sesses. Your Sheltie Is not q quick
animal, is inclined to be sleepy than
otherwise in his PAGES, and Is as
rule, disposed to do no more than he
can help in the way of exertion,
though, If put to it, he evinces great
power of endurance, and will go
through an immense amount of work
for his size. The Iceland variety is
altogether inferior, shorter lived,
narrower in build, and generally
fallacious, but, with all this he is
quicker, livelier, and lacks that air of
pensive melancholy which haunts
every Shetland pony. Our advice is
to avoid the inferior animal, however
highly recommended. Their phi
is, roughly speaking, about half that
of the Shetlander, but the money Is
ill-saved. The average life of an Ice
lander is about twelve or thirteen
years, while the other will live to
twenty-five or even more.-The
Popular Science Monthly for Feb
ruary.

known Of all men. The company tell
THg CITIZEN that their plant is insufti'

danger point at least, to improve its

it at once seems obvious.
With more or less accuracy there are
reported daily to the authorities by po.
licemen the lights not burning, and
the city 10 kindly allowed not to pay for
these But, as THE CITIZEN pointed out
some months ago, this is totally made

pay to have it lighted. 1t 10 necessary
that all the lights should be burning. 1t
is an eIasperating answer to have to
make to those who have not for weeks
seen an electric light that the city is net
paying for those failures. The people
want the lights and should have them, il
not from one company then speedily from
another. If THE CITIZENS advice had
been taken and a penalty of $40 per un-
lighted tower or pole per night been i'm
posed there can be no doubt that there
would be no cause for complaint now.

PRECEDENT RUTLER's VIEWS
The Farmers Can Get what They
want without a Third PARTY.

~Amk -
RALEIGH. N. c., Sept. 5.-Today Presi-
dent Marion Butler, of the State alliance,
was interviewed by your correspondent
and said:
~ do not see in North Carolina any
prospect for the success of the third
party. My view is that we can accom-
plish what we desire without it. The
farmers want certain relief. The easiest
way to get it is the best way. At the
same time the farmers do not compro-
mise in any way their demand for relief.
There are enough reasonable men in the
state to know that it will not do to fight
the farmers If the latter act in a sensible
and conservative way. believe they
will 80 act, but they will not be trited
with, and as their president shall stand
by them in their demand for relief. OI
course, the third psrty is already organ
lied, but it is not needed in North Caro-
lima. Here the farmers can get what
they need. All we have to do is to con
duct ourselves properly and success is as
sured. ."-Richmond Dispatch.
