Chained to the Rack.

Prometheus was chained to the rock while yul-
lures gnawed his entrails. So are many people
chained to the rock OF prejudice while all MI nner
ofviolent medicines lnfict injury upon the sensi-
tive lining Of the stomach and intestines. They
are apparently mmovable in the belief that to ex-
perience benefit they must keep dosing with
drastic medicines. Unless the action of these is
powerful and excessive, they are not sats fed.
They would distrust a remedy of gentle action,
however effective. 1t is not by such purblino ex-
tremists as these that the acknowledged merits of

LARAMIE, Wyo., April 2i-Whi,e the
fast mail was changing engines here sun
day, Messrs Depew, Vanderbilt and two
oghers exercised themselves by walking
up ana down the platform Just before
the bell rang "Ail aboard, a box car pill
grim, who had floated in from the west
during the night, approached Mr.. Depew
aud said: Hello, Mr.. Depew, don't YOU
know me?'
Well, do not at present recall your
features"
What! Ny name is John Reed, of Sar-
atoga Springs, \. Y. l used to work in
the United States livery stables there, and
used to take care of your rigs. Now, Mr..
Depew, l am far away from home, aud
want you to pass me home again."
What He Was There For.
why, can't pass you over this road, ="
replied Mr.. Depew; "but here" and he
pulled out his pQcketbook and handed the
tramp s. bill which looked crisp and
bright. The spectators laughed outright.
and Mr.. Depew, thinking he had been
duped, turned to the crowd and said:
docs he play that on every one?"
The tramp laughingly remarked: "What
is the use of having friends if you don't
use them? That's what I'm here for.-
The crowd roared and Mr. Depew and
friends joined in heartily. John Reed
proceeded to whisky joint and was soon
drinking the health OF the New York rail-

CHRISTIAN AND eeeLzEsue AGAIN.
Battle of Song in Which the Devil
Meets Defeat.

A Battle of Song in Which the Devil
Meets Defeat.
NEW YORK, April 2l-There was bat
tie of song between Christians and sin
ners on the Pennsylvania railroad ferry
boat Hudson City on her tnp from Jersey
City Sunday night at half past 10. 1t
was train boat, and was crowded with
passengers. Among the last to get on
were five we'll dressed women. They live
in New York, and they had been in Jersey
City aiding in establishing the first of the
dozen missions that are to be established
in the lower part of that city. They
walked through the cabin to the front of
the boat. When the boat was in mid
stream they began singing the hymn,
wait for Jesus" They had strong and
musical voices. In moment the passen-
gers began to come out of the cabins. The
crowd Joined in on the chorus, and the
music could be heard from sQore to shore.
Old Satan Finds Some Mischief STILL"
The devil heard it, accepted the chal-
lenge, and caused five young men from
the crowd to do battle for him. With his
usual cunning he armed his agents with
rldfule, knowing well that would quick
est destroy and good that might be done
by the hymns. The women began singing
the third verse of the hymn, and one of the
agents" cried: Now" in a deep bass
voice and the other voices began singing:
you've been drinking. you've been drink
ing, you've been drinking Just now.
Just now you've been drinking, you We
been drinking inst now"
They sang it TO the tune of Come to
Jesus just Now" Such shout of
laughter went up from the crowd that the
voices of all the singers were drowned.
When it died out a little the women
could be heard singing again How
Blessed to kneel at the Savior's Feet"
they had won the first battle
How the Battle Ended
The young men were sifenced for a mo-
ment. Their effort had winded them. They
began singing again II Bought Chicken
for Fifty Cents" The voices of the women
could be heard over them. Satan changed
the tune again and his agents sang
You're Liar, You're Liar" also to the
tune of "Come to Jesus The women
stuck to the hymn they were singing.
The boat was in the slip when the devil
made some one shout, Three cheers for
hell" Weak ones were given, while the
women sang GLORY to God in the High
est" So the battle ended. The women
certainly had the advantage, as we'll as
the sympathy OF the crowd, who admired
their pluck.

Hawaiian Cable.

That there ought To be telegra-
phic communication between the
United States and the Hawaiian
Islands is a fact which has been
admitted for many 4 long day.
Until recently, however, little ex-
cept talking has been done toward
accomplishing the WORK Within
the last two or three weeks the
matter has taken very definite
shape. By the Australia General
A. S. Hartwell of Boston, who has
spent q great deal of his time IN
the islands, arrived in this city.
| When the question OF Geographic
communication was first mootea IN
Honolulu a company was formed
for the purpose of laying cable,
End General Hartwell was elected
president. He found in little
time that ia SO large an undertake
ing "soulless corporation was
too bulky body To WELD, and
therefore took the matter upon his
shoulders.
| In November last the Hawaiian
Government passed an act granting
an annual subsidy of S25, 900 for d
period of fifteen years for the con
struction of cable between Homo
lulu and point on the Nortf
American coast, and in December
General Hartwell obtained the SOL
privilege of carrying out the under
taking, the only stipulations beins
that the work should be com
menced during the yearof 1891 an
finished by January, 1894.
From specifications obtained from
the well-known firm of Clark, Ford
& Taylor, it Is estimated that th
cost Of construction, including tn
l purchase of a repairing steamer
will be close to $4,000, 900, cor
siderable portion of which sum,
may be remarked. will be spent
San Francisco.

In 1866 the same agreeable scheme

They were in charge of Mother Marie

a letter as mixed goods. Each girl
will be required to furnish certificate to
