THE WOMAN PREACHER.
In Fifty Years From Now She Will BE at
Home in the Pulpit.


Home in the Pulpit.
New York. Ledger.
There seems to be no objection what
ever to women taking control of Sun
day Schools, benevolent institutions,
church fairs, festivals and all other
means of taking care of the tiOcks and
filing the ecclesiastical exchequer. but
when it comes to women in the pulpit
there is trouble at once. This is only
another of the relics of barbarism.
In old times if the church could get
control of the women and little chill
dren they felt pretty sure of their
ability to manage the rest of the hui
man family.
Half century ago woman doctor
was scarcely recognized in reputable
circles, and a woman lecturer was a
monStroSity.
Contrasting that date with the pres
ent and taking note of the change in
sentiment from one decade to another,
it is scarcely too mulch to expect that
by another fifty years we will see a
most wonderful revolution in matters
of this sort. 1t is safe to predict that
before the end of the first decade of
the next century the woman preacher
will be no more of a novelty than the
woman doctor now is. Woman is
specially fitted for such work, and even
were she not so it would be only strict
est kind of justice to give her some of
the homer as we'll as most of the hard
work of the church. When once ii
dawns fully upon the minds of the
people of this generation that there is
no sex in intellect or moral achieve
ments, the first and most difficult part
of this knotty problem will have been
4 solved.
/ By all means open the pulpit doors
to women as we'll as those of the Sun
/ day school room, and hospital and the
executive committee.
( We give the above clipping as we
sincerely believe it to be true proph
ecy. There will be a stiff fight, nc
doubt mot with swords and pistols)
and many man both in and out of the
church will show out of what very
narrow goods he is cut; nevertheless.
the women will advance all the same

A SUBMERGED CITY.
A Forgotten Roman City Discovered by
"A Portuguese Fisherman.

A Forgotten Roman City Discovered by
Portuguese FisherIan.
On the coast of Portugal is to be
found the submerged city of Ceto-
briga or Troya, as the Portuguese of
to-day call it, and which is said to
have been built by the Romans on
the site of a town founded by the
Phenicians. 1t was only by accident
at the beginning of this century that
tho city was discovered. A fisher
man pursuing his avocation along
the coast was astOnished to sec the
walls OF houses partially standing,
and we'll paved streets under the
water of the bay of Sines. and he
soon communicated the wonderful
news to the inhabitants of Setubal.
On examination they found city in
part submerged and running in to-
ward the land. \ society was formed
under the protection of the govern
ment to make Investigations. They
found that the city had stood on a
strip of land nine miles long by three
| wide, bounded on the south by the
bay of Sines, on the north by the
river Sado, and opposite was Setubal.
Every old record was searched, and
at length it was surmised that the
newly discovered city must have
been Caetobrix or Cetobriga, from
chance notices by old writer's, but
nothing was known Of its history or
fate. Another city submerged by
the sea for 1,0)0 years has just re-
appeared above the waters. The
town of Haigen. north of Ming Pc,
in China. was completely over
and lay buried till quite recently,
when the sea gradually receded, and
exposed the remains of buildings.

The proposition for a union of the
Central American states is again

accepted as pretty good evidence
that those little tropical hornets are
again recha-ging their stingers with
venom 1t has generally been the
case that whenever they begin talk
Ing about getting together they are
IN the point of falling wider apart.
This was the case just before the
Barrundia episode. Still, if what
appears as the impossible should
some day turn out to be probable and
union finally accomplished, the five
states of Guatemala. Salvador, Hon

sary Trouble in Doing So.
A story which is convulsing with
laughter every railroad man in the
whole state of Montana who has
heard it. is told in the Minneapolis
Tribune. The butt of the laugh is a
well-known official of the Great
Northern railway.
From Butte to Helena the tracks OF
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific run side by side for miles TO-
gether, each taking the same curves
around the base of the same noun
tains and jogging along in genial
companionship. About half way to
Helena from Butte the Great North
ern plunges into an obstructing noun
tain and runs through a tunnel
nearly a mile long. The Northern
Pacific here leaves the Great North
ern and instead of passing through
tunnel winds about. twisting and
turning, reversing itself a dozen
times, until one imagines, as he
stands upon the rear platform. that
he sees a dozen different railroads
instead of but one. The grade is
extremely steep. From the top of
the decline one can see the track five
different times, each track being from
twenty to seventy-fve feet below tho
one above it.
a few years ago an Eastern official
had occasion to go to Butte from
Helena, and as the Northern Pacific
train was the first to leave he
boarded it. The official was upon an
important mission and he could ill
conceal his Indignation when he
found that the train was losing time.
Sitting next to the window he turned
his contracted brows outward and
gazed discontentedly at the wonder
full scenery. Looking down, he sud
denly espied almost directly below
him 100 feet another track He re-
membered that the Great Northern
ran parallel with the Northern Pa
cific and that the latter's II ain to
Butte would soon be along. So with
out a word he pulled the bell cord,
clambered off the car and made an
uncomfortable climb down the one
hundred-foot cliff. He sat down
upon the end of tie to wait.
Fully twenty minutes passed and
no train; twenty-five minutes, and he
heard a whistle and a locomotive
burst upon him around curve.
The official whirled his hat and the
train stopped. Climbing onto a
coach he pitched his sachel into
seat with a sigh of satisfaction.
However, as he glanced up, an ap-
partition was before him in the per-
son of the conductor he had seen
twenty-five minutes before on the
Northern Pacific train.
What on earth are you doing
here?" inquired the bewildered Off
cial
Same as was half hour ago,
coming down the grade on this same
train and saw you sitting on the
same seat where you are now"
The entire coach load of passen-
gers was onto the joke, and the Off
cial sent the newsboy out for a box
of cigars.
