A BIG STEAMER WRECKED.
The Elder Runs on Ledge of Rocks
off tho Isle of Wight.

During fog, the North German
Lloyd steamship Elder ran upon ledge OF
rocks on the coast of Wight last Sunday
night The fog was 80 impcnetrable that
neither the bells nor the lights on the
island served to help tho steamer In
lodging the rocks. Tho Elder was on Its
way from Now York to Southampton and
Bremen. When the vessel struck 1t SEEM
cd TO have run upon tho top OF sunken
rock aud balanced there in helpless
position. Tho life-saving corps promptly
came to tho vessels aid and took of tho
passengers Of whom there wero over a0o.
The mails and 100000 In coin were also
taken ashore. 1t was hoped at first that
the vessel could bo gotten of without seri-
GUS damage, and tho crew stayed aboard
until Monday night, but at that timo tho
sea had risen and tho stern Of tho ship bc-
ginning to settle sho was abandoned BY tho
crew and officers. The water had
then became SO rough that 1t was very dif-
fcult for the life esaving crew to get 10 tho
ship.
The storm OF the time tho life boats were
launched had gained terrific violence. Tho
life boat crew at Atherheld had tremen-
dous struggle to get their boat beyond tho
breakers, which were piling high upon tho
shore. Tho men were greatly hamperod
by their cork jackets, oil skins and sea
boots. Grasping tho heavy life boat by
the gunwales they would wait for roced-
ing wave and then with hearty "All to-
gether" they would attempt to run her out
past tho swirling, foaming waters that
came tumbling from tho shore with o
laundering crash. Time and again they
were boaten back, but nothing daunted by
their repeated failures they would again
spring to their task determined that II hu-
man skill could get boat aiioat into tho
tumbling, tossing sea they would do 1t.
Onco big sea caught tho boat up like
coclSle shell, lifted 1t into tho air, swung II
round end for end and hurled 1t close up to
tho beach. Fortunately she sustained no
damage, und her crew soon had her head
to sea again. Then camo their chance.
Tho boat was run out was caught by no.
ceding wave, and like flash tho crew had
climbed over tho guEwales, grasped their
long, heavy ores, and soon their long, pow
erful strokes carried her out beyond the
line of breakers. After hard work they
succeeded in rescuing all the seamen. The
waves were pounding the vessel against
tho rocks when last seen Tuesday night
{. Tho next day tho weather moderated and
work was begun in unloading and landing
the cargo, but the sea became rough agail
before night and the work was suspended.

BRITISH writers and speakers have
much TO say OF the want of response
bility TO the popular will in our insti-
tutions because we have no govern
ment that goes out OF power whenever
1t is met with a hostile ma; ;ority in our

iherc is constitutional government
on tho face of the earth where the

Mr.. spurg.on'. Work.

In person Mr.. Spurgeon was short,
thick sst, with faco by no means hand
some and markedly English In type. But
he had kindly manners that rendered him
very agreeable to those who knew him.
Though he had accomplished 90 much
labor In his lifo he has been for forty
years frequent sufferer from rheumatism,
disease which troubled both his father
and grandfather.
In recent ycars, since ho had had much
III health, much Of his parochial work has
been undertaken by Mrs. Spurgeon, who is
devoted, uusolflsh woman, with pleas
ant face and voico that win her friends
everywhere. She Ia ministering angel
among the poor Of the great city. In every
respect she has proved herself q worthy
helpmect for tho great preacher.
Their twin sons-their only children
are both engaged In the ministry.
He declined as many us score Of invita-
tions to lecture throughout Europe and
America at fabulous prices, because, ho
explained, he was not lecturer, and did
not want tho money, and he preferred to
work In his own way among his own people
In London. When an American lecture
agency offered him recently $1,000 for
every lecture and to pay all tho expenses
Of himself and his wife and secretary
from London TO America on great lecture
tour, and hold out the tempting offer that
he could make $4,000, Mr.. Spurgcon de.
clined 1t. He said ho could do better. He
would stay In London and try ind save
fifty souls.
Connected with his church, outgrowths
OF Its energies, are tho pastors college
from which several hundred Of young men
havc been sent out as ministers, and IN
orphanago which was begun at tho in
stance of lady friend who sent Mr.. spur
gcon o check for 100000 with which to
begin 1t. About 300 orphans arc fed,
lodged, clothed and educated In this insti-
tuition. Other institutions connected with
tho tabernacle are q colportage associa-
tion, aims house for aged women, mission
ary stations, Sunday schools, o mission TO
the blind, ladies' benevolent and maternal
societies, and many others. With the ex-
ception Of MIR. Gladstone ho received the
largest mail of any man In tho three king
doms. A great many Of his letters from
sailors, from soldiers, from poor fellows
whom he had managed to help out of the
gutter, were simply addressed "Spurgeon,
England" 10 these ho replied cheerfully
and was always ready TO give advice.
Nor was this all. He gavo freely OF his
money. In fact, he was poor man. II II
had not been for the kindness Of his con
gregation he would have been penniless.

THE KELLEY INSTITUTE
Twelve Years of Established Merit
NOTE OF WARNING!
TO THE PUBLIC:

DWIGHT, Ill, April 80, 1892.
As a matter of justice to ourselves and to
the reputation of DIR. Leslie f. Keeley's
Double Chloride of Gold remedies, for the
cure of the liquor, opium, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neurasthenia, we warn
the public that these remedies are used by
no institution or sanitarium in the United
States except those established by ouL COM
pany under the uniform name of "The
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to Use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes es-
States where the Keeley treatment is adj
ministered and the Kelley remedies sold.
We, however, caution all to examine well
and know that they are dealing with genuine
representatives, authorized by us, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies.
The fraudulent establishments use the name
of "Bi-Chloride of Cold or similar titles.
The newspapers do not discriminate suffi-
ciently to know that they are imitatorS, and
so put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the Kelley treatment. This is Il matter of
much concern to Us, hence this warming.
Respectfully yours,
THE LESLIE +. KELLEY co.
Curtis j. Judd, Sec'y and Treas.
The keeley institute at Greensboro, y. G..
is the only one in the state, and all repre-
sensations that there is in the state any cure
that is identical with, or the same as, the
Keeley Double Chloride of Gold Cure are
malicious, false, and made for the purpose of
deceiving. We learn with indignant regret
that such claim is being made, ana feeling
that il it be hurt(ul to Us il viii prove more
disastrous 10 those who are deceived thereby.
We Sound This warming.
