At st. Marks Episcopal church few Sundays
ago the rector, Rev. David Clai borne Garrett,
preached in the morning on 1.-The Heavenly
Home" and in the evening on "Nh mere ~
Heaven" These were two subjects. he said'
concerning which questions were frequently
asked him. In this era, which has been called
en- age of doubt many even of the devout are
wondering where heaven is and what 1t is ike,
and the opinions OF good churchmen are vague
at best, and far from unanimous. In sharp con-
trast with thess doubts OF today are the words
OF beautiful hymn, frequently sung In ST.
Marks. The author was pious monk OF the
middle ages, who first wrote in Latin great
hymn, of which there have been many trausla-
tons Some of the stanzas are:
0 mother dear, Jerusalem,
When shall come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an END,
Thy Joys when shall l. see?
No murky cloud o'ershadows thee,
Nor gloom nor darksome night:
But every soul shines as the sun,
For God himself gives light.
Right through thy streets with pleasing sound
The living waters how;
And on the banks on either hand,
The trees OF life do grow.
These trees each month yield ripened fruit,
Forevermore they spring;
And all the nations of the earth
To thee their hoDors bring.
For the writer of those words a modern ser
mon on the heavenly home would have bsen
superhuous, for his mind clouded by no
doubts Heaven lay just beyond the last stars,
and % him It was as hard aud fast fact as his
own cell in the monastery He took words in
no hguratlye sense; the tra~s OF life were as
real as the oaks he saw each day-s0d the fires
OF he'll were no fancy.
Manager c. ]. Smith, of Oregon Improvement

during the Cievelaud-B. Blaine cam paign
that was delivered by Hon. George Fl. Williams,
OF Portland, VINO has been representative and
senator from Oregon and also was attorney gen.
eral of the United States under Grant.
Williams said he did not know much
about that man Cleveland; he had been
sheriff of Erie county, had even been
governor OF New York, but still New York was
only a state, and the orator went on in various

than small, local fellow. He seid the case of
the ex-sherif reminded him of the election i'll
Pennsylvania once OF q governor who belonged
to the "Knownothiug" party. the governors
chief recommendation to favor was that though
GO years of age, he had never been moro tDan
thirty miles distant from the spot on which he
was born. When the new governor was in
augurated at Harrisburg, there was great pro-
eession. Suddenly the cavalcade stopped, the
governor jumped from his horse, stood before a
very large BARRIERS pole in silent admiration.
MY gosh,' he exclaimed, what a terrible big
stick of candy. General Williams continued
fhst If nv accident Cleveland
should get elected, he supposed that when the
great New Yorker, in the inaugural procession,
reached Pennsylvania avenue and he saw upou
the dome al the capitol the figure Of the Goddess
of Liberty, he would excaim, Great heavens,

The question of title to tide lauds is one of
! deep interest 20 all the cities on Puget sound,
and the matter has already caused much litIga-
! ton. Ex-Governor Eugene Sample, member
OF the state harDor iine commission. said yes
terday in speaking of the subject: estate Audi
| tor Reed, who is. ex officio, member OF the
| state board of tide land commissioners, has pro-
! pounded an interesting theory in regard 20 the
! construction of the laws giving to upland
! owners a preference right OF purchase OF the
! tide lands in front OF them. Mr.. Reed holds
! that, as the law requires the tide lands TO be
! surveyed and subdivided before any PROPOSE
! tons for passing title 20 individuals can be
/ entertained, that the words in front Of etc,
must be construed TO mean out to the first street
or alley of the plat OF subdivision, instead OF out
| to the inner harbor line, as has heretofore beea
supposed to be the At the last meeting
| of the board Mr.. Reed introduced a resolution
| declaring that the board Interpreted the law ac-
| CT edinC to this theory, and that the upland
/ owners should consequently have the prefer
| ence right OF purchase only in the fist tier OF
| lots or blocks This resolution, l understand.
was voted down, consequently the board will
/ proceed or the theory heretofore accepted tina:
/ the pre- ereuce right OF purchase extends 70 the
inner harbor line or the low tide liue the case
/ may be. The adoption OF Mr.. Reeds theory
/ would make the tide lands yield much more
! Inoaey to the state, and would prevent very
| much litigation"
