A Steamer Sunk in Lake Michi gan.

CHICAGO, May 26.-The passengers on
the steamboat Kalamazoo had a narrow
escape from death at an early hour
Wednesday morning. She was bound from
Holland to Chicago, and collided in
a fog with the steamer Pilgrim, bound
from Chicago to Saugatuck. The vessels
met with terrific force, the Kalamazoo be-
ing cut down to the waters edge. The
panic that ensued was awful Women
ran from end to end of the boat without
clothing crying for help. Fortunately
however, the Pilgrim, although
her bows were badly crushed, was not
materially injured, and the work of rescue
began at once. she being brought broad
side TO the Kalamazoo, and in a short
time the passengers were transferred
safely. The Pilgrim then started
back for Chicago and endeavored
tn tow the Kalamazoo in, but
the steamer was so badly injured
she filed rapidly and in short time had
SINK 10 the bottom of Lake Michigan
Most of the passengers effects were saved.
Their escape is regarded as miraculous
and was due principally to the fact that
the lake at the time was very smooth
Had a storm been on an appalling disaster
would have resulted.

PITTsBURs, May 26.-The general assembly OF
the United Presbyterian church met in regular
session this morning. Rev. DIR. David MeDill,
OF Acme, o., was chosen moderator. A resolu-
ton was passed expressing the hope that con.
gress would appropriate money for the Worlds
fair only on condition that 1t be closed on sun
days and that the sale of liquor be prohibited
on the grounds report ON statistics showed
the work OF the church, the money collected,
etc. Among the papers presented was memo
rial from Nebraska. asking the establishment
OF general assembly fund, and one from Rev.
David Morrow, protesting against the action OF
the San Francisco presbytery in dropping his
naiae from the roll OF probitor because he fav-
ored the organ as an instrument of worship He
claims his dismissal is due to persecution.
PITTsBURG, May 27.-In the United Presby-
terrain general assembly this morning the COM
mittee on prevalent evils and the means of re-
forming them, reported at great length on Sab
bath descration by railways, newspapers and
mails; secret societies, murder, divorce, the
social evil, theaters, church lotteries and
gambling. The report recommended the clergy
to boldly and openly make themselves ac-
Quainted with these evils in order to be able to
effectually combat them. 1t was decided to
build church in Salt Lake City. The report on
religious interest la the army and navy urged
congress to provide an adeqate number OF chap
lains in the army.
The report OF the committee on relation of
theological seminarles to the general assembly
stated that there seemed to be some confusion
as to how far the supervisory power OF the as
sembly reached. There was considerable de-
bate on the subject. in the course of which Rev.
John A. Brown said the seminaries must be I'M
der the supervision of the general assembly.
and its authority must be asserted; that the
United Presbyterian church should not
be in the miserable tangle its
larger sister, the Presbyterian church, is
now in. The matter was finally referred TO the
judiciary committee. 1t was stated that yester-
days action in the House of Representatives
was only preliminary skirmish to the battle
that will be fought on the Worlds fair bill ap-
propriating S. 600, and that it is thought it
cannot pass without proeiso closing the whole
exposition on the Sabbath"

Willie Mains, who pitches for Portland
this afternoon, is one of the tallest players
in the profession, being six feet three
inches in height. From his great number
of inches and his lack of bulk he has been
facetiously dubbed 1.-The human gas-pipe"
and Little Willie" In addition to his
great ability as pitcher. he is fine bat
ter, and can play first base in good style.
Mains was born in North Windham, Me-,
in 1868 He made his professional debut
in baseball when but 10 years old, with
Portland, Me-, in 1887. The next season
he went with Davenport, Ia, in the Cen
trail Interstate League, and by his fine
box work had pulled his club into the
lead. when the league disbanded in the
middle of the season. The young pitcher
had attracted "Old Man" Anson's notice,
and the same year was signed by Chicago,
filling an engagement of about six weeks.
In 1889 and 1890 he played with st. Paul.
Last year he joined ''Kelly's Killers" at
Cincinnati, playing there until Milwaukee
took Cincinnati's place in the American
Association. He then finished the season
with the Brewers.

Lent Restrictions.

Pope Leo XIII has issued an edict
modifying the restrictions of Lent in
all parts OF the world where the grip is
prevalent. This edict has been in the
hands Of the Archbishops and Bishops
for a number OF weeks. It was so
worded as to leave the order inopera-
tive should the disease have disap-
peared prior to the beginning OF Lent.
But as the grippe is still prevalent in
most parts Of Europe and America the
edict will be read in all the churches
on both continents on Sunday, Febru-
airy q, Lent beginning March 2 and
ending April IL. 1t is similar to the
one issued by the Pope last year, and
is intended TO obviate the possibility OF
a too rigid fast on the part Of many
persons whose health demands the
generous use Of nourishing foods, and
yet who would have regarded any de-
p~arture from the rules as an act Of
disohedincp.
