PRosPERITY A DUTY.
Avoid Evil and be Prosperous.


 Rev. J. Lee Mitchell preached yesterday morning at the First Congregational church, Fair Haven, one of his character istic sermons full of sound sense and quaint expressions. The text was from I. 1-3. How does a man know that he be- lieves in the Bible! He believes in the Bible when he obeys it. Failing to see that the godly man prospers, he can at least fulfil part of the text and keep out of the counsels of ungodly men and women. The noticeale thing in modern unbelief is that it is not unbelief in God and the Bible but indifference to them The man who has seen others prosper ing by wicked triumph, while he and his family suffered for it, does not believe that God prospers the righteous, and it is no consolation for him to be told that "God moves in mysterious way" The world is so filled with it's own pains that hell has no terrors for some men, and love of God is to them nothing but a fairy tale.
 It is as much a duty for a Christian man to be prosperous as to be moral. If a man is continually unfortunate he has a right to question the reality of his religion.
 The first duty of man after he has be- come believer is to become prosperous and then to let that prosperity spread out and around him. The age in which we live is characterized by prosperity and, as in variably happens, side by side with it is the deepest want, the lowest degredstion. To alleviate the lot of these is the duty of | the fortunate man. This is the modern reformation; this is the modern crusade. It is the intention of God that every godly man shall prosper, and by the free use ot this prosperity can the prevalent indiffer' ence, which amounts to unbelief, be up tol

COMING WEEK IN CONGRESS.

Plans of Senators and Congressmen
 -Preparing for the Holiday Recess
 -xsfIIs and Resolutions.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-So far as actual legislative business is concerned it is probable that the present week in congress will be devoid of feature or interest. Many senators and representatives, assuming that the holiday recess will begin before the end of the present week, have made arrangements to leave Washington for their homes in 8 few days. The reorgan- ization of the senate committee will prob ably be completed Monday or Tuesday. The introduction of some bills and resolutions, a speech by Senator Turpie on the election of senators by direct vote and speech by Senator Stewart on free silver coinage, with such responses as they may elicit, will probably compose the record of the week in the senate. The house will not meet until Wednesday and then, after brief session, it will probably adjourn with an understanding that on the day of reassembling it will adjourn for the Christ mas recess. A proposition has been preached that congress this year shall ad journ for the holidays on the 18th inst. to January 4. It is believed that in the ab- sence of committee organization nothing would be accomplished by continuing the nominal sessions of the house into the fol lowing week. The experience of the past warrants the belief of old members that il
 will be impracticable for the speaker te complete the committees in time for an
 nouncement before the new year. Tht committee on rules may be announced however, dnring the coming week.

Effect of lhe Pres1dent's Message in
 Chilli - Regarded as a Breach of
 Diplomatic Usage.
 LONDON, Dec. IA. A Santiago dispatch says: President Harrison's message has had the effect of boomshell here. It is regarded in official circles as breach of diplomatic usage. The Official Gazette published notes exchanged between the Chilian government and Nr. Egan, United States minister. These corroborate the declarations in the circular refecting Chilian question, sent by the foreign off ce to all Chilian legations. The foreign office asked MT. Egan in 8 courteous note on November 9 to supply the proffered tes- timony to substantiate his charges against Chilian officials. A months delay in com plying with this request prevented Presi dent Harrison from knowing the result of the inquiry into the Baltimore affair, a knowledge of which, it is believed, would have altered his message entirely.

FIVE STRIKERS KILLED.
A Colorado Town Terrorized by Aus

A Colorado Town TerrorIzed by Aus-
 trfan and Italian Rioters-Troops
 Ready for an Emergency.
 DENVER, Dec. 13.-A strike at the mines of the Colorado Coal and Iron company at Crested Butte has resulted much more seriously than was at first anticipated and the-e are yet indications of further blood shed before the matter is settled About two weeks ago 500 Austrian and Italian miners employed at these works went out on strike because of a proposed reduc- tion of wages by the company.
 Since the men went out they have re- fused to allow the company to bring in new men, have stopped the pumps and fans at the works, allowing them to fill with gas until there is danger of the mines blowing up, and have paraded the streets heavily armed, threatening death to any one who should attempt to assist the com pany in any manner.
 Sheriff Shares of Gunnison arrived there yesterday with posse of twenty-five men for the purpose of taking possession of and guarding the mines. No sooner had they alighted from the train than they were at tackled by about two hundred armed Sici- Hans and Austrians, who began firing with their rifles. The sheriff held his men for a moment and then ordered them to return the fire, which they did with deadly effect, killing Mike Copuicine, Mike Minnelon, Mike Guercio, Mike Warn and John Poche. They are all Italians George Simonici and Matt Grahak, Austrians, were fatally wounded.
 After the firing the miners retreated and the sheriff's posse marched up the hill and took possession of the mines and threw up redoubts.
 The miners are swearing revenge upon every friend of the coal company.
 The governor has called out the state militia and the troops are now at the arm ory ready to start for the scene by special train.
 Everything has been quiet so far at Crested Butte to-day. Sheriff Sharp and bis posse still have possession of the mine. They have fixed a dead line 100 yards from the mouth of the mine and no one is allowed to pass without giving the coun- tersign. The mines have been running since Friday and are now nearly free from gas. Four of the wounded Italians are expected to die tonight. The other three may recover.
 The state labor commissioner had con- ference with leaders of the strikers today A committee from the strikers will meet 8 committee from the owners tomorrow with a view of settling the differences by arbitration.
