NSELF.PROTECTION,

The Mohamm edans now have
missionaries in tie United States,
attacking the Christian religion, and
seeking to plant Mohammedanism
in this country. The Chinese have
in the United States their temples,
Josh houses and worship wooden
idols, which is an abomination unto
the living God, and it is tolerated
by our laws. Mormonism bas its
emissaries at work trying to un>
dermine the family compact. For
eign anarchists and socialists are
here by the thousands, seeking by
secret orders, speeches and printed
matter, incendiaryism, dynamite
and other means, to uproot and des-
troy our form of government, the
right OF property, and all laws, d.
vine and civil. Foreign criminals
are landing upon our shores by the
thousand, inimical to the spirit
and genius of our institutions, Great
ing strikes, mobs and disorder.
These and other discordant and d.
verse elements are rampant in our
government, antagonNlng the Chris
tian religion and our Republican
form Of government.
1t is our Christian civilization and
the moral courage, virtue and in
telligence of our people, that stand
as the rock OF Gibrater, beating back
the waves of fanaticism and the COM
bined Satanic influences, which are
at work to overthrow and destroy
these cherished institutions. How
long this will continue, with a
disposition on the part of our gov
eminent to give protection to these
enemies within her fortress, ready
with torch to apply to the magazine ?
How long will the government live,
when in the name of freedom and
liberty, it gives license to the law
less? How long can Republican
government be maintained by giving
unrestricted liberty to foreign nihi>
lists, anarchists, socialists, idol wor.
shippers, criminals, bandits and
the refuse of Europe, to land at our
sea-ports and then in few years
give them the right to vote, hold
office and to take charge of the reins
OF government, and shape laws in

1t would seem, that selt.preserva-
ton, being the first law of nature,
should prompt our government to
protect itself, its institutions, the
welfare, happiness and prosperity Of
its citizens, by such wise legislation
as would prohibit the landing of all
ernigrants of a questionable, mimi
cal and dangerous character. If our
present system of government is
perpetuated as blessing for our>

Bernard j. Schmitz, wealthy farmer
of Atchison county, Kan, went to Ger
many last November to visit his old
home, and was arrested for deserving the
German army thirty years before. The
matter was placed in the hands of the
United States minister in Germany, but
all efforts to secure Schmitz's release ap-
peared fruitless. Schmitz's eleven-year-
old daughter. however. wrote a letter to
the emperor of Germany from her home
in this country, setting forth in a child
like manner the facts in the case and ask
ing for her fathers release ON his birth
day, which came on the 4th of last month.
The letter reached the emperor on the
eth, and he was SO touched that he is
sued a pardon for Schmitz, who is now on
his way homo.-Cor. New York World.

Suddenly the two road agents again put
in an appearance. AS in the other case,
each carried brace of revolvers, which he
kept firing, striking terror to the hearts of
the trainmen. They approached the rail
readers to distance of about 10 feet and
then stopped to order the men about. They
directed each man to his post. and in no
case were their wishes opposed Neff and
his companion then boarded the freight
train, and with pistols pointed ordered the
engineer to move ahead. Frequently they
emphasized their remarks by firing, and in
this manner they ran things according to
their own taste. As the freight train pulled
into Wildwood they ordered the engineer
to stop the engine Their order was obeyed
and with loud yells they alighted and ran
into the woods.
Neff and his companion made their way
to Wildwood grove, where a picnic was in
progress. The women and children were
speedily put to flight, and few rash men
who stopped to fight remained to pray for
mercy. These unfortunates the despera-
does quickly caused to form in line and to
march and countermarch in single and dou-
BILE file and with hands uplifted. This
amusement was rudely interrupted by de-
tectives posse, and Neff and his companion
were handcuffed before any resistance could
be offered. Freddy" Neff is the leader of

powder anal Gun Cotton

One of the most interesting and singu-
lar features developed by the new navy
is the matter of explosives.
The most important advance made in
this general line in 1891 was the procur-
ing of smokeless powder. This was
developed by Professor Monroe, of the
Naval Torpedo station, and has surpass-
I'D the somewhat dubious expectations
Of it. 1t has been successfully used in
the simpler and lighter guns and also in
the complicated 4-inch rapid fire guns.
With charges of only one-half the weight
of the old powder. it has fired projectiles
nearly 200 feet a second faster than the
shots of the old powders travelled One
beauty of it is the fact that it is not in
jured by water
Gun cotton is to be extensively used
on the new vessels. The high importance
of this material and the certainty that
the limited facilities for its production
would be a source of embarrassment in
case of war, led the naval department
last year to offer an order for $4,000
pounds of gun cotton to the Duponts, of
Wilmington, Del, manufacturers of
naval explosives, on the condition of the
establishment of complete plant for the
manufacture of gun cotton in large
quantities.-D. d. Bidwell in New York

Eat What You Like.

1t is a sound rule for all of us, says an
eminent doctor, that with respect to food
our likes and dislikes are the best guide as
to what is good for US, and it is safe to eat
upon the plan that whatever we relish will
prove on the average harmless and whole
some, and whatever produces disgust will
prove, as a general thing, indigestible.
Nothing can be more wrong, for instance,
than to make children eat fat, for example,
when they don't want it. A healthy child
likes fat and eats as much of it as he can.
If he shows signs of disgust at fat, that
proves him to be of bilious temperament
and he ought never to be forced to eat it
against his will. A good many of US have
disordered digestion in after life simply be-
cause we were compelled to eat rich food
in childhood which we felt instinctively
was unsuitable to us

bilt says that her prompt and heroic action
saved him. Others declare that Mrs. Dodge
could not swim and only plunged to the
rescue because she was in a nervous fright
and did not know what else to do. Even
this version, however, does not &C. ,uit Mrs.
Dodge of the charge of heroism, for il she
was in a nervous fright it was because she
thought she saw man drowning before
her eyes, and her action was just what 1t
should have been if she could swim.
The how of it all was thus: Mr. Wander
bilt was giving a swimming party in his
pool, which is simply an artificial pond
separated from the ocean by a wall, SO as
to retain the water long enough to permit
the sun to warm it sufficiently to make it
swimmable. The ocean water at Bar
Harbor is usually too cold for swimming.
Hence the pool. Among Mr.. Vanderbilt's
guests were Mrs. Dodge and several other
young ladies whose names often grace the
society columns of the New York papers,
and two nephews of the host, Willie Sloane
and young Elliott F. Shepard, Is and IA
years old respectively. The boys were the
only ones of the party who knew much
about swimming.
Mr.. Vanderbilt could swim a little,
though, and therein lay his danger After
e'erypouy else Hdu SOb wet ana Tired OIL
splashing about he started in to entertain
his company by diving into the deep end of
his pool, where there is 10 feet of water, and
fetching up at the shallow end. The trick
is not a very difficult one, and George came
up with a smile of triumph beneath his lit
tie black mustache after every effort except
the last. Then he staid down SO long that
everybody got frightened, and when he did
come up it was with the touching appeal,
For Gods sake, save me. somebody after
which he sank again.
Then it was that Mrs. Dodge plunged in.
Though she could not swim, she managed
to reach the drowning Croesus, and be
threw his arms about her. This imperiled
the life of his fair rescuer, for it dragged
her also beneath the water, seeing which
the two boys took hand in the rescuing
business and ultimately managed to drag
preserved and preserver safely ashore
Mrs. Dodge is a daughter of John Bige-
low, who was United States minister to
France in 1867, and sister of Poultney
