he had MADE HIS 1rlenQS. be loves US
whom He knows as we'll as He knew them.
And He wanted to be remembered. Love
longs for remembrance He was not willing
that we, for whom He gave His life, should
90 about our tasks and pleasures, and never
think of Him. The meaning Of the sacra-
ment is not only ethical. 1t is the sacra-
ment of love.
They did not understand very much about
it, there in the Upper Room. They did not
realize what that breaking of His body and
that shedding of His blood meant Neither
do we realize it. Close as we may get to-
day to that cross of Calvary, we do not re-
alize it. We say the words over, "He died
for me-" "He suffered and died for me, !"
yet we still stand atar off And we are al
most as confused in our minds as the apos-
ties We come to the sacrament doubtful
what it means. Fragments of ecclesiastical
are scattered about in our memories.
One says that the sacrament is
this, another says it is that. Here
it is set forth on plain table, in the midst
of the most simple of services as it was at
the beginning. There it is offered on an
altar, amidst the glimmer Of candles and the
smoke of incense, in jeweled vessels of gold
and silver covered over with embroidered
cloths, and the service is full of singing and
intoning, and priests and people bow their
heads and their knees. And we know not
what to think.
Inexhaustible Opportunities for Thought.
The truth is that the deep words and acts
Of Jesus Christ offer inexhaustible oppor-
tunities for thought The profoundest
theologian does not know all that was meant
to be taught in the Lords Supper. The
devoutest saint has not touched the limit of
Christian emotion. Let us think our own
thoughts. Certain it is, that as we grow in
years and in grace, this blessed sacrament
comes to mean more to us. Because Jesus
Christ means more to u.s. We may be sure
that we are thinking along the right line If
we are thinking more and more of Him.
We love Him for His love. "We love
Him becsuss He first loved us"

an arctic winter that an intense cold

some being seen some ten or fifteen
miles back from it l determined to
leave the river and strike straight
across the country for Hudson's bay.
We had been gone only three or
four days, and as we ascended the
higher levels the thermometer CON-
menced lowering, and on the I'd
of January reached II degrees below

our sledge journey of nearly year
in length. and the coldest l believe.

moved our camp fully twelve miles.
The day was not at all unpleasant

night when a slight breeze sprung up.

as it was, it cut to the bone every part

the eyebrows to the chin. We turned
our backs to it as much as possible.
and especially after we had reached
camp and were at work making our
snow houses and digging through the
thick ice for water.
After all it is not so much the in

termines the unpleasantness of an

rection of the wind, for l have found

THE HORSE SHOW.

The Pony Display Brings Out the
 Children-A Parade of the Prize
 Winners.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-To-day has been the most successful one of the horse show. The sunny weather brought 8 big attend ance. The children especially were numer- ous. This was because the ponies were on display. At 9 o'clock the people began to flow through the gates. At 10 the judging commenced. The classes judged were the stallion ponies, Shetland stallions, pony brood mares, Shetland brood mares and polo breeding stallions.
 The great garden was tonight filled with a horse-loving, dress loving, pretty women loving crowd. There was suppressed ex citement when the report spread that Mrs. Cleveland was present. She sat in the box of F. H. Benedict and chatted and smiled with the friends who surrounded her as if oblivious of the thousands staring at her. A feature of the evening was parade of 150 prizs-winners, graduated in size from the tiny Shetlands to the gigantic stallion Energy. The animals made fine showing as they pranced around the ring to appropriate music.
 The first exhibit for prizes of the even ing was that of the regular city mounted police. The blue coats made great show ing as they rode out. There were twelve competitors, and the escort consisted of twenty-four. Peter, ridden by Patrolman Gilladay, took first prize. Awards in other classes were made.

CATHOLIC CONVENTION.

Cardinal Gibbons Presides nt the Con
 ference of the PreIates-DIscussing
 the Appointment of a Papal Legate
 to Washington.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The conference of Catholic archbishops which began yes terday was continued to-day. The pre- lates who compose the conference met shortly after 10 o'clock. with Cardinal Gibbons presiding and Archbishop Corri- gan as secretary. Last nights festivities at the reception of the Catholic club left no i'll effects on any of the archbishops, and all were present when Cardinal Gib- bons announced that the question under discussion when the conference adjourned last evening would again be taken up. It is expected that the conference will conclude to-day, but very little of the work done will be made public; and the extent and form in which that shall be done will also be decided upon by the as- sembled bishops. A leading clerical said to-day to reporter: 'I notice that the newspapers bave neglected to state one of the principal topics to be discussed by the 1 conference. viz the advisability of plac- Ing 8t w asnlnStOu uuly hCcIculteu EcpIo- | sentative of the Vatican.
 For many years American statesmen have disagreed upon tho question of this | government recognizing the authority of | the papal nuncio. It has been held that ii | the president should receive as one of his l diplomatic family a representative of the pope such action might be construed as 6
 recognition of the pope's claim to temporal
 sovereignty.
 There is & likelihood that following the discussion of the matter by the arch
 bishops Mgr. Satolh may be induced tc bring it to a crisis by reporting to the vat ican that steps should be taken looking tc

The Last Practice Game-The Make-
 up of the Team-A Criticism Of the
 Men.
 BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 1.-The Harvard
 football team, which will meet Yale at
 Springfield Saturday, took its last practice
 to-day at Cambridge and demonstrated
 that it's game on Saturday will be strong one. The team will consist of Brewer, full
 back; Gray and Lake, half-backs; Trsfford, quarterback; Hallowell, right end; Newell, right tackle; Mackie, right guard; Lewis, center; Waters, right guard; Upton, left tackle, and Emmons, left end. Lee. Cor bett and Fairchild will be substitutes. Nearly every man has been through the ordeal of Yale game, and the new men are such thoroughbred" that they will more than fill the shoes of their predeces- sors. The coming contest has no terrors for them. Three men have now been working together steadily under the coaches for 8 month. The points of weakness in all probability will be Mackie at right guard and Trafford at quarterback. Mackie has plenty of bsef, and weighs over 200 pounds by the peculiar athletic standard. But although no heavier than Acton, who would have played at right guard had he not broken his rib, he is by no means so active nor so brainy. He will play because Captain Trsfford has no better man with whom to replace him. Tratford himself at quarter is a very radical change, and at best an experiment.. His weight is per hsps 175 pounds. There appears to be no good reason why man of his class should not play the position amazingly we'll. His weight ought to add to that of the line; he can direct his men we'll from there, and whether heavy or light as quarterback he ought to get the ball back quickly. The team has not been seen in public for several weeks and in this time he may have greatly improved. But when last seen he played poorly. He was slow in passing the ball, and having passed it he did little playing. He seemed to think his work was then done.
 Lee is strong, notwithstanding the inju- ry to his back early in the season. It is safe to assert that he will play for more than one eleventh of the game. Gray, who will be the other half-bsck, has done we'll during the season and supplants Corbett. The only other position likely to be weak Is left end, and this by reason of an injury to Emmons few days since. But he will DO doubt play.

THE BORDEN CASE,

The Hearing Contfnued-RumOrs of
 More Indictments - An Exacting
 Jury-Eyidence Thoroughly Sined.
 FALL RIVER, Mass Nov. 17.-The Bor- den murders are again the principal sub iects of conversation in this city and to- night rumor is being generally circulated that indictments may be brought against two persons other than Miss Lizzie Borden, providing the jury finds verdict of guilty against her. These persons have been in timately connected with the family, more particularly since police attention was di- rected to 1t. On the stand they have proved to be not only unwilling, but even mislead- ing witnesses. Attorney General Pillsbury pressed one of these witnesses very hard, in manner which left no doubt in the minds of the jurymen that he proposes to have the whole truth if the hearing is prolonged. Be- cause of the reticence of these persons the police and other authorities have been put to great deal of trouble and expense in getting evidence concerning the family re- lations day or two previous to the mur- ders, consequently feeling is expressed against them in police circles. The closest friends of Miss Borden, who have thought
 the prisoner may possibly be proven guilty
 by the law, have contended all along that
 some kind of a conspiracy must have pre-
 ceded the affair, and that perhaps one,
 probably two persons, talked of tonight
 were accessories before the fact It is
 evident that from the few words
 spoken by local witnesses who have
 given testimony within the past two days
 that the grand jury is very exacting body
 and proposes to hear all the government can offer before agreeing that Lizzie Bor- den committed the crimes. They ask many pointed questions and are giving evidence of very thorough sitting. It is expected that the grand jury will visit this city tomorrow and view the scene of the murder.

 = CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 1.-The rAeep- tion rendered the grangers by the state and city officials and grangers of New Hampshire was an immense success The opera house was crowded to overfowipg and crowds were turned away. The first address was on behalf of the New Hamp- shire state grange by N. J. Batchelder, state master, who alluded to the union of the blue and gray and welcomed them as patrons bound by the fraternal tie of agriculture. Response was made by s. L. Wilson of Mississippi, who in expressing his qualification at his reception stated that he felt as much at home as in Missis- sippi. Governor Futile next extended the Inequalities of the state and spoke of the effect and value of grange work and welcomed the visitors to the hearts and homes of New Hampshire. Master Brigham responded in forcible and able speech, in which he stated that the grange was not antagonistic to residents of cities, but fully appreciated that the prosperity of one was the prosperity of the other; that the grange desired to build up a better and wiser manhood and woman hood among it's people, and he appealed to all good citizens to aid in this great cause.
 H. w. Clapp, mayor of Concord, extend ed the hospitalities of the city to the vis- itors in an appropriate address.
 Lecturer Whitehead responded and dwelt upon the identity of interests of the farmer and other classes, speaking warmly of New Hampshire and New England pa irons. Hon. Joseph Draper of Massachu- setts, past master of the national grange, extended welcome from all New England, in which he showed that the growth of the order in six years had been from 25 ,000 to 50, GOO in these states and pledged an in crease to 100, 900 in six years more. S. H. Ellis of Ohio replied in happy vein com plimenting New England and thanking the people of New Hampshire for their gener- ous welcome. The principal speech was by Senator Chandler who extended a warm welcome to all visitors. He spoke of grange work and oomplimented the organization highlY,
