tions that may be done, by you
under the spur of sudden impulse,
the expressions you may let fall in
thoughtless moments of anger or
excitement. The influence of each
one may be inperceptible, but they
altogether have their effect. as the
continued dropping of water will
wear away the hardest stone.
Therefore, friends. with double
weight hang the blessings and the
curses before you. Obedience to
the Law of God will bring the one,
disobedience. the other, for your
self, for your children and your
children's children. The history of
Israel emphasizes, beyond all power
of contradiction, how true are these
words. That Israel has survived
conditions and environments, which
would have completely annihilated
others, has been. because the bless
ings of temperate, moderate and
chaste life had been transmitted
from generation to generation.
The very ostracism that drove them
from the midst Of other peoples
was their salvation, for it drove
them from ignorance and lust and
riotous life, into the safe refuge Of
peaceful, earnest and nobler exis-
tence. What our fathers have
given to us, let us give to our chill
dren. Ours is the heritage of faith
full and earnest obedience to the
law and unshrinking hearken-
ing to the voice of God. Let
us bequeathe that legacy, undimin-
ished, unto those who come after
us. Remember your actions to-day
may affect the thought. and actions
of generations yet unborn. In
years still to come will be gathered
the fruits of the seed you now are.

good? Will you be recalled with

child, or of a person deciding his
own destiny. If I am subject to
the uncomfortable influence of
my ancestors lives and actions,
am not SO completely responsible

am not to be punished for evil, nor
to receivecredit or reward for good,
for these may be the working of

do not emanate from me, and which
4 do not control.
But, my friends, it is just in this
that the statement is made too
strong and broad. What heredity
gives is not actual conditions, but
tendency TO, disposition to certain
lines Of thought or physical weak
ness. Physicians will tell you that
one does not inherit disease so
much as tendency toward that
disease, a pathological condition,
which makes the reception of that
disease easy, but that by care and
watchful diligence the disease may
be warded off, VIM. F. Round and
7. c. Jones, men connected witch the
penal institutions of the State of
New York, testify to the fact that
it is not the children of criminals
that make up the bulk of their
charges. They even make. the
statement from knowledge, from ex-
perience, that all otherconditions
being equal, the child of criminal
has as good a chance in the race
of life as the child 70 the average
citizen.
While in the process of building
character, heredity plays strong
and important part, yet there is
another influence no less strong and
no less important and that is
environment. This means not only
the physical conditions surround

directly to it, but, as we'll the pow

N1AaARA,s ICE BRIDGE.
The Largest Ever Recorded and Still
Growing-A Daring Feat.

BUFFALO, N. Y, JAN 16.-The ice bridge
at Niagara Falls is one of the most ample
and substantial seen for years. The steady
zero weather of the past week has filled the
upper river with ice, which is pouring over
the falls in vast quantities and adding each
hour to the jam which is called the bridge. y
The process of formation thus goes on, the
latest arrival Of ice being carried under that
which is stationary, and gradually raising the
whole higher and higher. The heavy fall OF
snow and the clouds of mist from the falls,
which settle on the top, freezing as fast as
they fall form natural cement
Many parties of tourists have visited Mag
ara within the past few daysto view the ice
bridge and its attendant scenery. Some of
them have had perileus experiences in their
foolhardy endeavors to get near TO the foot
Of the falls by venturing on the ice. Young
Sargent, hotel clerk here, eehpsed all ex-
PLOTS by crossing a smaller ice bridge that
had formed abreast of Goat Island and ex
tended toward the Canadian shore, under the
Biddle staircase, near the table rock On
his return he stated that the grandeur Of the
scenes he witnessed along the shore well re-
paid him for the danger he underwent.
To give an idea of the real danger Sargent
passed through, some Of the ice hoated off
the small section ON which he stood and went
bridge, when it disappeared under the ice
and came out ON the other side. Had the
young man been caught on one Of these
pieces his death would have been certain.
Three hours after he had returned to the
shore all the stationary ice which he had
traversed broke away and was sucked under
the ice bridge and went down stream. A
party Of New Workers wanted Sargent to
take them out on the route he had made, but
when they reached Prospect Point they found
instead Of ice swift-running river.
The present bridge is one of the largest
ever recorded at the falls, and will continue
to grow until long thaw breaks it up. When
that time comes many of the owners of in.
clined railways and staircases at the foot of
the bluffs and along the gorge have reason to
fear that their slender structures may be
swept away.
The formation of an ice bridge is an inter.
esting sight. There must be severe cold
weather for week or two to form ice of
certain thickness in the river above the falls
and on Lake Erie When the thaw comes
the ice breaks up and is carried down over
the falls and forms jam in the gorge. 1t
has generally been the rule that bridge
would not stand unless it began just above
swift water above the whirlpool rapids and
builded up toward the falls. The present
bridge, however, is formed of the smaller
pieces of ice and extends from a point below
the portal of the big tunnel to the edge OF
the American falls. 1t is eompactly built
and frozen hard. 1t is thought by the old
residents that it will stand. The last bridge
was in 1889. Never since the winter of 1855
has there been such a bridge as is formed
now The ice mountain is forming and coast
ing parties will soon be using it.

Annual Election and supper.

The annual election Of officers and supper
of the Westminster Fire Department took
place on Wednesday evening. At s o'clock
| President O. D. Gilbert called the members
to order and, after a roll call and the read
| ing of the minutes of the last meeting, an
| nounced the election of officers for the ensu-
| ing year in order. Candidates had been nom.
mated at the preceding meeting, and printed
ballots were provided. For the chief offices
there was no opposition in the nominations
but for the others several were named for
each. On the first ballot all the former Offices
were reelected, except the Foreman of Truck.
There was tie between Samuel knight and
Ezra Shugh. A second and third ballot re-
suited similarly, and the fourth resulted in the
success of Mr.. Shugh.
The officers elected are-O. ID. Gilbert
President, John E. Eckenrode First Vice
President, Denton S. Gehr Second Vice
President, William Fl. Bell, Jr., Secretary
and Treasurer, Amos W. Hahn Assistant
Secretary, F. K. Herr Chief, j. G. Mobley
Assistant Chief, Ezra Shugh Foreman of
Truck, F. M. Eckenrode Assistant Foreman
of Truck, H. K Schaeffer Foreman of Reels,
| Henry Himler Assistant Foreman of Reels,
Joseph d. Brooks, Marshal, Edwin j. Lawyer
| Librarian.
An amendment was voted on, requiring five
adverse votes to reject an application for
membership, instead of three. The amend
ment was almost unanimously adopted.
The active membership of the Department
is forty-two, On ample number, says Chief
Herr, to fully manage the hose and reels and
hook and ladder truck. The efficiency of the
Department fully bears out Chief Herr. In
his report for the year he says the Department
was called out four times. The first was on
February II, at the fire at j. C. Hull's store,
in the Reifsnider building, Main street, near
Pennsylvania avenue; the second was on
October 81, when there was only a slight
FIRE at the cooper shop of W. S. Myer Il Bro.i
third was on December l, when two houses
of Curtis Eckard, at the West End, were
partially destroyed; the fourth was on Deem
Der 6, when only some brush was burning on
the outskirts of the city. AT the two fires
forty fthe forty-two members were present.
Treasurer Bells report showed the finances
of the Department to be healthy.
The business session was divided into two
parts, with an intermission for the annual
supper. In this the Mayor and Common
| Council and few other invited guests parti
| cipated. The Departments reputation for
providing elegant suppers drew nearly all who
were invited, and about sixty persons sat
down at the tables. The supper committee
served everything is great abundance, and the
supper was eaten with relish. After supper
fine cigars, furnished by Westminster manu-.
! facturers, Wantz, Leffert, Fowler and Bixler,
were handed around, and during the latter
part of the evening smoke and oratory were
mingled.
