How Rev. +. De Witt Taimage breaches.

=
MADISON, Wis. Ang. ST De Witt Tai
mage favored the Monona Assembly at
Madison with Q sermon on Sunday. I at
tended, and with 5000 other people
watched the reverend doctor for nearly
two mortal hours. Mr.. Talmage has been
impaled. criticised and villified so much
that there is no excuse for more
utilization or criticism save that men
change, their ideas change, and the Tai
mage of today may not be the Talmage Of
yesterday.
Many of our Whatcom county people
have heard the doctor. and may discover
improvement or retrogradation in his
Monona Assembly effort He held the at
tention of his auditors two hours. He
was animated by an earnest purpose-that
of holding the attention of the audience.
His voice rasped the ear, his grimaces
and contortions held the eye. There
was no sleep among the 5000. His voice
was strong and clear, but assaulted the ear
like lie screech. He did not know it. He
thought his noise was the music of the
Eolian harp. In speaking OF the bells of
Moscow, he endeavored to adapt sound
TO sense and dwelt upon BELLS bell-!-i-is-
bell-l-l-l-l-ls in most painful eloeution-
airy effort The bells of Moscow were
evidently a cracked lot Ii seems that
the good doctor while travelling abroad
was handsomely entertained by the czar
of Russia, who shook hands with him
twice and received him en- familie. in
consequence of which the divine is posi-
tive that the car is q very good man,
that goodness and mercy rule in his en-
pire, and that the tales oftyranny, cruelty,
espionage and horror are EagIish and
German lies, ''all for to make bunkum."
The doctor is certainly grateful to the car
for his kindness, and 1t is 10 be hoped that
his conclusions from his somewhat meagfe
data are correct.
Mr.. Talmage's smile, by which he in
tends to express benevolence. and child
ike and happy confidence IN the goodness
of God, is an error. The smile is peculiarly
diabolical and malignant. Hisfacial mus
eies do not respond TO his amiable inten-
tons as the mountain lake responds to the
caress OF the soft. southern wind, TO any
great extent; but appear to be IN state
of revolt.
The gesticulations and stage business of
the great Brooklyn exhorter are peculiar.

Annexation Foreshadowed.
EDITOR Bulletin

EDITOR BULLET1N:--
The Portland Oregonian in Dec,
1892, published an article which was
reprinted in the p. G. Advertiser of
Jan. 2Sth last, which, after showing
how "any power enjoying the oppor
tunity of the United States in Ha-
waii would have annexed the islands
long ago." proceeds to show the
British mode of colonial expansion
since the Congress of Vienna, and
pleads that "the commercial occupa-
tion of the islands by Americans has
already advanced far beyond the
stage which other nations have con-
sidered as warranting annexation.
Americans dominate the social life
of the islands, control their COM
merce, own their land, direct their
agriculture"
Hawaii is over.ripe for annexa-
tion and popular sentiment and com
mercial interest both look in the
direction of union with tho United
States. When they shall find ex-
preston in a truly responsible par
liamentary government, the question
is likely to be placed before this
country in such way that it will be
impossible to postpone or evade it,
This interesting article, written
two weeks before tho Legislature
was prorogued, foreshadowed tho
plans OF the party who were at the
back Of the Brown-J ones-Wilcox-
Robinson Cabinet. The offer of the
country to the United States by a
resolution of the Hawaiian Legisla-
ture here contemplated, was can
vassed, and a certain man, now a
member of the Advisory Council,
was busy among Hawaiian members
of the Legislature with heavy sack
of solid inducements, but it was not
enough to get beyond allowing a
Cabinet suspected of annexationist
designs to get in, and the suspicion,
that what the Legislature would not
do for any bribe, might be effected
by the Cabinet and its party during
tho two years. interregnum, was
what led the Legislature to vote the
Wilcox Cabinet out. Time has fully
justified the suspicious Of the native
members, as everyone of that Cabi'
net is to-day among the most indus
trious in trying to undermine the
country's independence.

animals were treated by DR..
Pottie and his corps of assis-

popularity Of his remedies.
Special cases of assorted re-
medies can be had at prices
ranging from $5 to $3.50, suit

work OF art, perfect in every detail,
and we should feel proud that we
have such artists among us. Every
citizen and especially every old
soldier should see this piece OF

from any one. because / believe in

such skilled and meritorious artists
amongst us. i do not even know

The Financial Stringency.

1t will be readily seen that the
principal cause of non-realization of
the hope to secure by private per-
sonal contributions the $50. 600 need
ed to purchase property and erect
first buildings. was the sudden ad-
vent of the period of financial
Strlngency so universally felt
throughout our land. With an en-
terprise of so great 4 magnitude
generous gifts from wealthy citizens
must precede Il more general and
popular canvass. A form of sub
scription was agreed upon, and in
several points throughout our Bethel
territory all seem ready for what
would have insured success. when
the calamity came-and counsellors
everywhere voiced but one express
sion: 1t is not choice but necessity
to defer canvass until the financial
clouds are fully lifted"
Our w. S. F. S. expects to push
this snug harbor establishment with
all energy as far as possible, in view
of eXigencies prevailing. We still
regard Credit island as a most favor
able site, and feel sure that there is
Philanthropic enterprise sufficient in
the tri-cities to farther such n move
ment when we have restored conf
dence and prosperity in financial cir
cles. If from the present owner of
Credit island You can obtain new
option on the land required. or can
Indicate some ether favorable site,
we are willing to continue an agency
for the purpose of fully testing the
practical good will of your citizens.
and at the same time connect the pre-
sentation with our permanent snug
harbor department with n view to the
widest possible sympathy and aid.
We trust the time is not distant when
all our snug harbor hopes may be re-
allied.

The Tapping of the Deathwatch.

The SO called deathwatch, dreaded by
the superstitious, is small beetle which
has very powerful joint in its neck
and calls its mate by tapping with its
head on the wall or on any surface where
it may happen to be located. The noise
is similar to that which may be produced
by tapping with the finger nails on a
table, and the insect can frequently be
made to answer such taps. York

A Chance to Get the Work Done This
Fall

n Chance to Get the Work Done This
William Ficklen. a Chicago con-
tractor, is in the city. and is anxious
to assume the contract for the paw
ing of Twenty-third street between
Third and Fourth, and Fifth and
Seventh avenues, and undertake to
complete the work this fall. He has
submitted a proposition to Mayor
Medill to do the work for Sl56 per
yard, including the necessary grad
ing, etc, and is in readiness to file a
suitable bond for the faithful and ac-
ceptable carrying out of the proviS-
ions of the contract. Mr.. Ficklen
offers to put in Cleveland sandstone
curbing at 80 cents per lineal foot.
or to substitute for this curbing. if
the property holders desire. a COM
bination curb and gutter, such as is
used on many OF the Chicago thor
oughfares. at Sl3 cents per lineal
foot.
\ Chance TO CIT the Work Done
As il known the council has advcr-
tised twice for the paving of Twenty
third street, once with but one bid
which was returned unopened. and
again without response. and it was
finally thought that owing to the duh
times and the difficulty experienced
by the contractors in floating the city's
paper, that no bids could be secured
and the work would have to 90 ever
until next season. Mr.. Ficklen i
ready to do the work on conditions
agreeable to the council. and accept
the paper offered by the city. and as
the council can. by two-thirds vote,
empower the mayor to enter into a
private contract without advertising
for bids, a meeting Will be called by
Mayor Medill for tomorrow night
with that end in view.
Under the ordinance. however. un-
der which the paving was planned,
it will be necessary to use Cleveland
sandstone, and Mr.. Fickleu will have
to wait for future work to intro
duce his patent curb and gutter.

The German Way.

When a maiden is betrothed in
Germany she is called "bride" by her
sweetheart, who addresses her thus
until it becomes time to call her
"wife." Immediately upon betrothal
the lovers exchange rings. which, if
the course of true love runs smooth,
are to be worn ever afterward until
death parts them. The woman wears
her betrothal ring on the third finger
of her left hand until she is married, ],
and then it is transferred to the third
finger of the right hand. The hus-
band continues to wear the ring just
as the wife wore hers when she was
"bride," SO that one can tell easily at
a glance ii man be or be not mort
gagged as to his affections. A young
German matron, on being told OF the
careless American custom of allowing
a man to go unfettered, exclaimed:
30, how dreadful How unjust to
the young wives! How could | ex-
pose my Wilhelm, so young-only
25--to the temptations of the world
if he were not to wear marriage ring?
The girls would make love to him. /
would not live in America for the
world
