Tonight the Greek department of

Greek at the Poughkeepsie opera
house. Remarkable interest is
manifested in the event, and in ad-

special train of ten cars, all of them
we'll filled with society and literary
people, arrived from New York this

entirely by students of the college,
and the play will be performed as
nearly as possible in the manner of
an Athenian tragedy of the time of
Sophocles,
Mendelsson's Antigone music
has been adapted for the choruses.
The play, as is we'll known, centers
about Antigone, who goes to her
doom because of her deep and tender
love of her brother. The king has
forbidden anyone, under penalty of
death, to bury Polyniecea. Anti
gone, his sister, buries him, having
sought first, but in vain, to enlist
the help of her sister 1sonene. She
is discovered and brought before the
king. She fearlessly avowa her
deed. By his order she is entombed
alive, and hangs herself in her rock

g the Distilling and Cattle Feed
ing Company, and which has

which, in its preliminary stages is

exercises.

Why the information should notbe

seton is said to be the most i'm
portant litigation ever commenced
in the state, while it is also the first
time that a law officer ever insti
tuted quo varranto proceedings
against a corporation on his own
motion, or in other words, without
regulator. The officers of the
trust, however, do not appear to be
alarmed. They have a formidable
array of counsel headed by Judge
Stevens of Peoria.
The petition upon which today's
proceedings in the whisky trust liti
CATION is based sets forth that the
corporation has no existence under
the laws of the state. 1t gives the
history of the organization of the
concern, showing that it has been
operated in such a manner that it
has evaded the law and usurped
powers not legally conferred upon
it. The petitioner alleges that the
concern exercises such power of
control over the output of distillery
S 5products and over dealers as to de-
ftroy all competition in their man
@nfacture and sale. That it has ex.
" ceeded its franchise in acquiring
S8the whole property and right OF
8certaln distilleries and closing them,
8thus destroying all diversity OF
8competltion between them and the
a dlstllleries operated by the trust.
q By means of revenue system it il
alleged the company is enabled tc
bring under its control every dealer
who becomes patron of it and
thus force him to give the com

abling 1t to dictate prices to con
sumers at pleasure.

this when Baker halted and turned
to US with the query:
"What's the matter now "
'The route looks dangerous, |

He turned and galloped forward.
As he did so | rode to the right and

redskins, and We both cried out
together:
ssShoot the villain. He has led US

were discovered, sprang up and made
dash at US on foot. Although with,
out a leader, we did just the right
thing. Every man rushed to the
front, leaving the. rear oi the train to
take care of itself, and We gave the
savages yolley which broke them
, up and left nine of their number dead
on the ridge. The living sought
cover, ran down the bitches behind a
rise, where their ponies were con-
; cealed, and made off without firing
another shot, although there were
eighty-four of them in the band.

was all right, and 1t would not be
prudent for us to say anything until
we had better foundation than
mere suspicion. 1t would have been
rebellion to speak against him or re-
fuse to obey his orders, and he had
power to disarm US and put US under
guard.
At that date the train which pro-
oressed one hundred miles into har-
sas was sure to find the advance

day out we sighted some at dis

captain. He closed the train up in

We saw the first Indians .wo hours
before sundown. None of them
came nearer than half mile, seem
inc to be content with an inspection
of our strength. An hour later, and
we were within two miles OF the spot
where we proposed to camp. The cap
tain, whose name l neglected to state
was Baker, ran up green flag on
one of the wagons. This flag, as we
afterwards concluded, he must have

proceedings. 1t struck me that he
raised the flag for a signal, and wher

me that he could have no other OBJ

his every movement with the eye
of a fox, but he made no furthe
sign for many hours. When w
went into camp he took all the pre-
, cautions the most timid could sug

THE NEW YEAR.
fChristian Advocate.

Man alone of all earthly creatures
is capable of looking before and
after. He is not shut up within the
narrow limits of the present moment,
His eye sweeps all around the hori-
zon, both discerning what now is,
and also catching glimpses more or
less distinct OF what has been and
what will be. In this fact is found
the presage and the promise Of his
Immortality. The high faculties OF
memory and forecast would be OF no
use to a creature without an unend-
ing destiny. Ii all the future years
do not belong to man, then 1t were
better for him to forget the years
that are vanished, and to cherish no
dreams of those that are yet to come.
But on the supposition that we were
~S,.not born to die,
Ills greatly wise to talk with our past
hours
And ask them what report they bore to
heaven.
And how they might have borne more
welcome news.
The beginning of the New Year Is
a good season for retrespectlon. We
naturally pause as we pass another
milestone on the road OF life, and

gained take a backward look along

out the signal mercies OF the year,
and dwell upon them until our hearts
are dissolved in gratitude. Narrow
and hard as our lot may have been,
filled perhaps with keen and bitter
sufferings, and much as we may have
been disposed to complain of 1t, Il
has yet held enough of good to call
for unbounded thankfulness. Be
levers in the gospel can never ask
whether life is worth living. To be
alive at all in such world as this, to
have food, raiment. shelter, friends,
an open Bible, living church, the
perpetual ministrations Of the Invisi-
ble Spirit in restraint, incitement,
comfort, the consciousness of par
doned sin, and the hope Of heaven
are not these sufficient occasions for
saying: Bless the Lord, 0 my soul !;
and all that is within me, bless his
holy name"
Let us not hesitate, moreover, to
/ look frankly and honestly on our own
blunders, mistakes and sins. To do
otherwise is to forestall the possibility
of Improvement, and to defeat all
our efforts to be better than We have
been. "My sin is ever before me, }"
said the Psalmist. SO it should be
with as all. To forget for even a
moment that We are imperfect crea-
lures, that we have gone astray in
thought and word and deed, would
betray lack OF wisdom upon our
part. Have we, then, for the twelve
months coming to aclose been always
truthful, honest, pure, diligent,
patient, forbearing, charitable? Have
we loved God with all our heart
Have we loved our neighbor as our
selves? Wherein We find that we
have come short in these require
ments, the thing for US to do is to
repent.
While, however, We keep in mind
our shortcomings and defects, we
must not so remember them as te
allow them to paralyze our failure
attempts at holy and upright living
) There is sense in which We mus
:.forget the things that are behind,
and '.reach forth to those things tina

wisdom to say with the apostle Peter

OltNC O&AfAs
From the time-quarry of eternity
God hews to-day another rugged stone
And says to men: "Come ye, and worl

Help me to make to men my pnrpos'
known"
He could declare, aye, and he does declare
In one great word its grandeur and it
scope;
And lesser words are echoing everywhere
It's wisdom, beauty, tenderness ant
hope.
The calm stars chant it in their timet
spheres.
The winds hint of it in their resonant
voice,
The blossoms show it, and the wheat:
full ears,
The sunlight. radiant with it, says
"Rejoicen'
But none of these, nor even that Living
Word
That told, and tells, in human deeds
and speech,
What shall be done for man, with man
by God.
Whose balms of pity deepest wound
ings reach.
Not even this will of itself suffice;
The massive statue waiteth many hands
And so once more from out the opening
skies.
The New Year comes to all the waiting
lands.
How shall we help him, we who are
unskilled,
To carve from common years the Col
den Year?
Who does his will and with Christ's love
is filed,
Helps make his love known, brings his
kingdom near.
