part of the foliage. DR.. Mansfield in
formed DR.. Engstsd OF his find and sug-
gested that the tree be taken to Chicago
entire and exhibited in the North Da-

Engstsd told him it was q first rate
idea, and Mr.. Mansfield went to work
at once to move the tree to the railroad.
Wagons were used for this purpose. but
the tree was so heavy that it was i'm
possible to haul it through q ravioe
between the place where it was found
and the railroad. The consequence was
that large piece of the tree had to be
broken off in order that it could be
moved. The parts of the tree, however,
will be loaded on car and shipped to
Chicago at once.

Brief Sketch Of His Career.

Rev Charles Hadden Spurgeon was
born on June 49, 1884, in Kelvedon, Essex
He received an ordinary education under
strong religious influences, and became
very early in life an usher in school at
Nottingham, in which humble capacity
he developed astonishing powers of pub
lie speaking and was especially effective
IN religious exhortation.
His relatives, who were Independents,
offered to have him trained for the min
istry but he declined because he held
PaedObaptiSt views Later he relin-
quished these and joined the church for
merly presided over by Robert Hall at
Cambridge He became village preacher
at Teversham and soon after became
pastor of Baptist chapel at Waterbeach.
At this period, only II years old, he de
livered a series of discourses which at
tracted immense crowds and spread his
fame through England, and even Amer
ica as the boy preacher.
Having been offered the chapel in New
Park street, Southwark, he preached for
the first time in London in 1858 with
such success that the edifice had to be
enlarged to accommodate the rapidly
growing congregation. AT Exeter Hall,
which was occupied during these altera-
llOns, HuUtlIGIs were lNIu0tl away ever y
Sunday, being unable to get within the
doors
The enlarged chapel in New Park street
proved insufficient and the Surry Music
Hall was hired to accommodate the over
flow Finally the Metropolitan Taber-
nacle was built which holds four or five
thousand people, and there the famous
preacher has remained to this day, Since
1868 his sermons have been published
weekly and sold throughout the Pro
testant world in increasing numbers
In 1887 Mr.. Spurgeon severed his con
nectiou with the Baptist Union because
it tolerated heretical views on the subject
Of hell. This gave rise to a long contro-
versy In 1888 was celebrated the deliv-
cry of his 2,000th sermon.
The Pastors College, the Colportage
Association, the Book Fund and the Sup
Elementary Pastors Aid Fund were all
founded by MIR. Spurgeon in support OF
his work at the Tabernacle,
In his illness, which began seven
months ago and passed through many
vicissitudes, he has had worldwide
sympathy, and his devoted congregation
haze been untiring in their petitions TO
the Lord for his recovery.

using Uncle Sans post for such pur-
poses. Even then the cost is something
to consider-quite enough to keep him
in cigars with an occasional theater
ticket. But of that he does not COM
plain, Various and sundry hostesses
have crossed him off their lists, and he
says rejoicing that now really he may
have time to get on in his profession.
Which is distinctly what Society with
the large does not allow. The man
who aspires to lead must give his whole
mind to it, la Brummel and his tie. A
notable cotillion leader, who, it was
thought, would make some figure at the
law, said to me as he began to loom
large on the social horizon: "My pro-
fession? gave that up months ago.
Society is a profession arduous enough
for any man-that is if he expects to be
more than mere lay figure"

E1-President Hoey's Plans for Another
Rig Corporation.

Btg Corporation,
AsBURY PARK, N. j, Feb. 1.-Ex
President Hoey of the Adams EXPIRES.
Company, 1t is stated, has a nice little
surprise party that he will spring upon
the Adams Express Comany on May |
next. On that day new express com
pany, to be known as the Pennsylvania
Railroad Express Company, will launch
out as formidable rival to the powerful
corporation so long managed by Mr.
Hoey.
AS starter the new express company
has secured the entire territory covered
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
and its various branches, this business
being now controlled by the Adams peo-
pie. They will also secure an entrance
into all the Southern States via the
Southern Express Company, who are
said to be warm friends Of the new cor
poration.
The new express company will be man
aged by Mr. Hoey, who has as his backer
it is claimed, such men as President
George b Roberts, and Vice President A
Cassatt and Frank Thompson of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, who
are lifelong friends Of Mr.. Hoey, and
sympathize with him In the unfair treat
from the company whose business Mr.
Hoey is credited with having built up
But few men outside of Mr. Hoey were
aware of the fact that the contract be-
tween the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany and the Adams Express Company
was yearly one, expiring on the first Of
May each year.
Soon after Mr. Hoey was deposed, he
set to work forming a new company and
securing the contract, so long held by
the Adams people
The new express company, it is
claimed, will take away considerable
business now done by the Adams, as
they will have no means of reaching the
cities entered by the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company
1t is claimed also that the new com
pany will reach Boston via the New York
and New England Railroad, contract
having been made with Mr., Austin Cor
bin.
The articles of Incorporation were pre-
pared by Messrs. Deexel Morgan & Co.,
of New York, who are said to be heavy
stockholders in the new venture.
A prominent railroad official who is
acquainted with the facts of the new
concern said that it would be but a short
time ere the new company viii have Of
fees in all the principal cities of this
country.
There is no possibility for long time
of the Adams people securing the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, or the Phila
delphia and Reading Railroad as an out
let, as both of these roads have term
contracts with the United States Elk.
press Company.
Two weeks after Mr. Hoey was deposed
from the Adams Company, he threatened
to organize new company, which would
knock the Adams people out His threat
was laughed at as it was thought impos
siDle to secure a road to handle the bust

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Court OF
Claims is considering a most interesting
case The claimant is Col John NJ Chiv-
ington of the First Colorado Cavalry,
and the defendants are the United States
and the Sioux Nation. The claim is for
damages on account of Indian depreda-
tions committed in Wyoming in the
spring of 1867,
Colonel Chivington alleges that the
Indians stole 392 head of cattle and %
head of horses, worth S32, $50, for which
he asks judgment.
counter claim has been set up by
Assistant Attorney Colby, who
has charge of the defence of this class of
cases, in behalf of the Indians, alleging
the massacre of a large number of men,
women and children of the Sioux Nation
at Sand Greek by Colonel Chivington
and his regiment on November "a 1864,
and the destruction of property belong
ing to the Indians to an amount exceed
ing in value that of Col Chivington' S
claim. This is one of the historic cases,
and was known as the "Chivington OF
Sand Creek massacre, In which it was
said that nearly /, 300 Indians of all ages
and sexes were killed and their scalps
taken and bodies mutilated by white
men.
