REV. DIR. BURCHARD
The Hero Of Rum, Romanism and
Rebellion is Dead.
A Sketch of His Career-The Circumstances
Under Which He Made Himself
Famous and Foolish.

SARATOGA, Sept. 25.--Rev. DR.. Burchard
died at 4 p. N. to-day.
Burcnard was taken i'll Sunday evening
and died this afternoon. Tuesday his ILL
ness developed into peritonitis. He was
born at Steuben, n. Y, in 1872; received
an academic education, when he re-
moved to Kentucky. In 1886 he was
graduated at Centre college, Dan
vile, KY, and soon after won wide
reputation in the state lecturing
on temperance, slavery and religious ques-
tons. During the cholera epidemic Of 1887
he was a volunteer nurse. He was licensed
to preach in 1888, went to New York In
1889 and took charge OF Presbyterian
church there. He was q man of fine ply
steal development and noted for his great
kindness of heart and sympathy for the
afflicted. He was winning speaker. He
was made chancellor of Ingram university,
| filing the office in connection with church
duties. When he resigned the pastorship
! in 1879 the congregation is said to have
made him present of $4,000 and to have
mortgaged the church for the purpose. He
gave up pastoral work in 1885.
Burchard came prominently before the
public in 1884, when several hundred min
listers gave a reception at the Fifth Avenue
! hotel TO Blaine, then the republican can
didate for President Burchard was there
and had been chosen TO address Blaine il
behalf of the clergymen. Blaine stood or
the staircase above the corridor floor il
full view of the clergymen and others whC
had gathered to greet him. Ascending thu
staircase to the second step below Blaine
Burchard spoke, as he neared the close O
his address with affectionate regard ant
esteem for Mr. Blaine, using PRACTICAL,
these words: "And we admire and wei
come you, Mr.. Blaine, as the steadfast op
ponent of rum, Romanism and rebellion.
Years later, DR.. Burchard, while speak
ing of the incident with an Associate
Press representative, who stood near hir
the day it occurred, said: "Well, l dom
know but l may have been an humble in
srument in the hands of the Divine Powe
to effect exactly the contrary of what ha
in my heart to do when 1 spoke that day.

Chinese Governors Refuse to be RESPONSE BILE.

LONDON, Sept. 25.-The Times Paris
correspondent says: It has become known
here that the governors of the Chinese
provinces in which the riots occurred have
distinctly declined to be held responsible
therefor and have declared it impossible to
pay any indemnity. The inference is
drawn that the Chinese circular to the
powers aims simply at delay in order to
shirk the indemnity and therefore not to be
held to account to Europe.

Some Big Things.

The largest light house lens in this
country was made by a Paris firm and
shipped to the United States Board OF
Light House Directors in August, 1888.
1t was intended for a lantern rs big as
a small church, the lens proper meas
uring Is feet in height and III in
width, the internal diameter, or
'bulls-eye' being s feet s inches.
A gigantic earth worm, which seems
to be closely related to the common
angle worm, has just been sent from
Cape Colony, Africa, to the Royal
Geological ,iety of England. 1t Is 6
feet five inches in length and thick &C
cordingly. An English firm of potters
have produced the largest vase in the
world. 1t is of china, its chief feature
being a globe representing the world,
which is supported on a pedestal and
surrounded by neurological figures.
The vase is II feet high and 6 feet 4
inches in diameter. Its cost was ST.
500.
The highest trestle on the line of
the Northern Pacific railroad is that
across the Corsican deile, about twelve
miles West of Missoula, Mont. The
track level is exactly 800 feet 9 inches
above the rocks in the gorge below.
The British debt is so large that if
it were divided into FL notes they

What Is n Billion?

The New York Sun, commenting on
the billion dollar congress, tries to do a
thing which is difficult to do, that is to
explain to it's readers so that they can
realize what an enormous pile of cash it
takes to make a billion dollars. Because
we think it good food for thought and
because we think the people, the voters,
of this country are responsible to some
extent for this wasteful misuse of public
monies, and because we think when they
see their responsibilityOn this matter
they will see to it that this outrage shall
cease, and because we feel it to be u
duty to give them all the light we can
and enforce it upon their memory if
possible, we give what The Sun says:
A billion dollars is a vast sum, and a
mere recital of what could be accom-
plished with it shows the wrong done
the people, from whose pockets every
cent was taken.
Counting at the rate of 200 a minute
for twelve hours every day-hot work in
the heated season-it would take 6,944
days, or about nineteen years, to count
a billion.
A billion dollars in silver dollar pieces
falling on the ground with twilights
dews would cover about 800 acres, con-
siderably more than half a square mile.
A billion dollars would pay the sala-
ries of 100000 presidents Of the United
States, and if in dollar bills laid in line
they would form a belt about ia 500
miles long, going around the earth nearly
five times, or reaching half way to the
moon
A billion dollars in paper would make,
as we are told, if spun together in one
large sheet and then cut up into pieces
Of the proper size, dresses for nearly
1000, 900 women or more than 1000, 900
children.
A billion dollars would pay for the ed
ucation of $50, 900 children from the
kindergarten course through college.
The weight of the average maj is 1876
pounds; hence it would take an army of
more than $50, 900 average men to turn
the scales against a billion silver dollars.
The entire immigration to America,
from the day that Columbus first set foot
in the New World until the present, is
supposed to amount to 25, 1000, 600. Count
ing every newcomer, therefore, since
1902, the last United States congress ap-
propriated of the peoples money forty
dollars for each one of them.
The total number of votes for presi-
dent cast by all American electors since
the establishment of the republic
amounts to about $4,000, 600. The late
congress appropriated the equivalent of
thirteen dollars for each such vote, or
dollars for each voter now.

College Examinations In ouest,o,

CoAAeDS GAdAAAlAatloNS In question.
Among the educational questions
which have come up for special at
tention in those larger American insti-
buttons of learning most nearly ap-
preaching the foreign universities In
their methods. that of examinations
and their value o. futility as a test Of
progress is one of the most important.
Professor Shaler of Harvard, in the
July Atlantic Monthly, deplores. the
waste of time in examinations for men
who have the true academic aim and
instinct. That it is a traditional but
no less onerous restraint upon ad-
vanced scholarship there can be no
doubt
At Johns Hopkins, Harvard,> and
other institutions familiar with Europ-
can methods of study and instruction,
the question of progress is a most i'm
portant one. 1t does little good for
men like Professor Goodwin, in their
Phi Beta Kapp a addresses, to clearly
point out that the European student is
two years ahead of his American
brother, unless something is done to
close up the gap. There must come
sooner or later a practical distinction
in treatment between the American
university scholar and the college
aspirant for a degree. If the thesis
and other original work be substituted
for the catechetical examinations of
the college semi-annuals and ANIMALS,
a test of scholarship will be provided
which certainly has not the objections
SO generally raised against ordinary
examinations .-Buffalo Commercial.
