Sacramento's Delegation Succeed in
Their Mission to San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 18.-The General
Committee Of Arrangements for Presi-
dent Harrison's reception met in the
Mayors office tonight. In addition to
the members of the committee there was
present a delegation of citizens from San
Francisco. There was also present from
Stockton Hon. J. c. Campbell.
The delegation met with the General
Committee to ask that President Harri-
sons time in this State fbe so disposed of
as to allow him to remain at least four or
five hours in Sacramento.
Ex-Governor Booth, in presenting the
request of Sacramento, called attention
to the fact that the President spends a
whole week visiting Southern California,
stopping at some ten or twelve places,
While he is shot through the northern
part of the State during one night. Sac
ramento. the Capital of the State, was to
be given from o'clock to 10 O'Clock in
the morning.
Hon. w. w. Morrow tried to explain
that the San Francisco committee had
control only of the Presidents time from
Saturday night, April 25th, at O'Clock,
to Monday morning, May 4th, but the
Sacramento delegation would not listen
to any such explanations.
Speeches We're made by Judge Arm
strong and j. c. Campbell, the latter pre-
senting Stockton's claims, in which thew
asserted that the President had indicated
in all his kilograms that he would be un-
der the direction Of the San Francisco
committee until he left the State, and tel
egrams received at Sacramento from Sec
retary HalfOrd were read to prove it.
This being the case, the gentlemen
wanted the committee to notify the rail-
road people that arrangements had been
made to have the President remain in
Sacramento at least three hours longer
than was now planned.
1t was finally decided to do this, and
General Barnes and w. w. Morrow were
appointed to make the arrangements.
Despite Mr.. Campbelrs vigorous protest,
Stockton was ignored. 1t was stated that
excursions from all over the northern
part Of the State would be run to Sacra-
mento on the day the President will be
there, and that a grand reception would
be rendered him.

Twenty-Four Skeletons in Various
Pastures for the Worlds Fair.
SPRINGFIELD (Ohio), April IS.-Warren
Moorehead, who has been at work for
some time making explorations in Ohio
for the archaeological department for the
Worlds Fair at Chicago, has just made a
rich strike at Fort Ancient. Ohio, small
place near this city. Thursday several
deep vaults were uncovered. One of
these vaults was great stone chamber, in
which were twenty-four skeletons in
various postures. They were in an ex-
cellent state of preservation, and Mr.
Moorehead had them photographed just
as they lay. A number of the skeletons
We're placed in vaults of flat stone, and
seem to have been tightly sealed. The
skeletons and the vaults will be taken in
tact to the Worlds Fair at Chicago,
where, with the vaults, they will be set in
position precisely as found. Curious or
naments, jewelry, ETC., were also found in
the vaults. The skeletons are believed to
be those of Ohio mound builders. An
arrow was sticking in one of the skulls.

Prospects of the Renewal of the Civil

BUENoS AYREs, April 1S.-Much alarm

probable renewal of civil war. This un-
happy outlook arises from the unexpect-

Dutch Cure for Laziness.

During a morning walk merchant
who was detained by business in Am
sterdam, came to q group OF men
standing around a well, into which q
strongly built man had just been let
down. A pipe, whose mouth was at
the top of the well had been opened
and a stream of water from 1t was
flowing down into the well and begin
ming gradually to fill 1t. The fellow
below had quite enough to DO if be did
not want to be drowned, to keep the
water out by means of pump which
was at the bottom Of the we'll. The
merchant, titying the man, asked Tor
all explanation of what seemed 9
heartless, cruel joke. "Sir," replied
an old man standing near, "that man
is healthy and strong; I have myself
offered him work twenty times, never
theless he always allows laziness to get
the better of him; and will make any
excuse to beg his bread from door TO
door, though he might easily earn 1t
himself by work if he liked. We are
now trying to make him feel that ne
can work. If he uses the strength
which is i'm his arms he will be saved
if he let them hang idle he will be
drowned. But look" continued the
old Dutchman, as he went to the
edge of the we'll, "the fellow finds out
that he has got muscles; in an hour
we shall let him out with better reso-
lutions for the future" Such was the
case, and the cure was etfectual.

THE SECRET. Il once knew q young
collegian who, they told me, was max
ing a deeper impression on his fellow
students and professors than any other
student who had been in the institu-
ton for years. l heard of him every
where, in all the clubs, and meetings,
and delegations that were talked OF be-
fore me this mans name was appear
ing, and l marveled much at his enor-
NOUS capacity for work. At last one
of the professors, speaking of him in
the most glowing terms, threw in, in
the middle of his eulogy. a sentence
upon which I put my finger at once az
the clue to the secret by which he ac-
complished the many things-too
many, very probably-which he un-
dertook. "Tom knows" said his pro-
fessor, "the value of five minutes
about as we'll as anybody 1 ever saw"
There, young people, is sermon for
YOU in a very few words: Do you
know the value of five minutes? II
YOU do not, seek it out among the 9th,
er tables of weights and measures, and
study hard until you find exactly how
much it equals, and you will have laid
the foundation for much learning.

Helping the Boys.

Don't frown on the boys enthusias-
tic "crazes," as We may please to term
them, over one thing and another.
All these innocent hobbies tide boys
over places which otherwise might be
filed with amusements not innocent.
There is marble time and baseball
time-knees to be protected and patch
ed, baseball suits to be made or bought.
But these thing, are not costly pur-
chases; so get them. If the boy has
room on bis fathers premises to in
dulge in another craze, it is poultry
keeping. His favorite literature he
finds in poultry magazines, and his
recreations in caring for his fowls.
They may not be found a paying in
vestment financially, but they are a
paying investment in certain way.
But after time, the hard work con-
nected with poultry-raising may give
place to the lighter one of rabbit-feed-
ing, and for the time being, every boy
in the community comes into the yard
to see the family of pretty white rab-
bits, which are being 80 well cared for.
But there comes day when rabbits
are not as much of q pleasure as
stamp-collecting would be, and the
rabbits are sold to procure money to
invest in a stamp album. Then the
autograph album comes in for consid-
Grafton next, and all the family, the
teachers and school companions; in
Guiding the minister and other choice
friends, are asked to contribute to the
pages of the autograph albums.
Country boys have plenty Of range
for their schemes in out-of-door pas
times; but city boys are hemmed in,
oftentimes, in such a way that it re-
quires considerable tact and financier-
ing to keep them innocently, but hap,
PLY employed. Time and money and
interest in boys "crazes" of these
kinds, pay a good dividend, and pa,
rents should help on the carrying out
of them, and consider them of impor-
tance enough to be looked into by ia.
theirs more practical experience and
mothers more patient endeavors.-
Evangelist.
