A MILLION FOR MISSIONS.

 The Christian Endeavorers wm Try to
 Raise It This Year.
 CLEVELAND, July 16.-The Young Peo- ple's Society of Christian Endeavor has undertaken another great project, which is nothing less than an attempt to enlist all the members of that organization with the leading gdenominational mission boards in a wide reaching and thorough campaign to arouse the missionary spirit among all Christians. 1t Is e missionary extension movement similar to university extension.
 The plan was evolved by Stephen L. Mershon, a Chicago business man, who became interested in the Christian En- deayor society several years ago. His idea was to have the various boards of home and foreign missions unite in securing good lecturers to speak in various places upon missionary work and thus arouse the interest of the people
 A resolution adopting his idea was passed, and the following committee was appointed to carry the resolution Into ef- feet: Rev. Dr. P. 6. Henson. Rev. Dr. J. H. Barrows, President Harper of the Uni yersity of Illinois, Bishop Fallows, Rev. J. z. Tyler. Rev. Dr. Nj. Rhodes and Rev. Dr. G. c. Kelley.
 Mir. Mershon explained his plan at the tent meeting and succeeded in aronsina much enthusiasm. He said that 5, 900 so- cieties had given <135, 900 last year to de nominational missions It was proposed to make the contributions for missions sl, OO0 900 this year.

Guy lighted farthing dip which lay on the table beside him and inquired the object of the gcntleman's visit.

I therefore wait upon you for lesson in frugality. an art in which used to think excelled. but am told by all those who know you that you arc greatly my superior.
 And is that all you came abOxt!' asked MT. Guy. "why, then. wo can talk tho matter over in tho dark
 So saying. he. with great delibera- tion. cxtinguishcd his newly lighted farthing candle. Struck with this in stance of economy, the visitor acknowl- edged himself vanquished and took his leave.-Lc,.aon Tit Bits.

He searched for an hour and finally found MT. Gentsoh's body un- der a tree on the bank of Buffalo creek in field owned by another nsighbor. He was dead. He had taken his revolver and fired one shot into his right temple.
 The cause of the suicide was MT. Gentsch's scrupulous regard for his per sonal honor and reputation. MT.

 Zimmerman then won another race cas- fly. Wheeler finished second. The crowd went wild over ZimmermaA' victories, and he was given most enthusiastic ova- tion. A number of the spectators waved small American flags when they saw how easily Zimmerman had vanquished his Opponents

NY HEARTS DELIGHT.

There never lived 8 painter who her Hnea- Iaents could trace, Tho verse was never uttered that cou6 ten their peerless grace I always dream of flowers when look upon her face.
 No lily bud Is sweeter,
 No rose so pink and white The birds must pipe in meter
 To sing my hearts delight Her locks are like the sunbeans that the sum- mer fairy weayes- Her voice recalls the music o{ the wind among the shoaves. Her footsteps fall like rose leaves beneath my cottage caves
 There Is O spell ebout her.
 Her beauty haunts my sight could not live without her,
 My lissom hearts delight The balm of spring Is on her lips there's sum- mer in her smile. Her gentle glance reveals a heart that never knew a vile, And yet the dimpLe on her cheek @ hermh would beguile.
 May fortune e'er smile OCT her.
 I'd die for her tonight
 live but to adore her.
 Ny dainty hearts delight.

Now that the strike exci tement is hap oily over public attention is centered upon the daily meetings of the democratic con- ference on the tariff bill. There is some disappointment among democrats that after an entire weeks work no agreement has been reached. However, considerable progress has been made, and it is hoped that partial, if not complete report can be made to the house and senate this week. Just as soon as an agreement can be reached that will be ratified by the house and senate congress can adjourn, as the senate. by an unusual spurt. has passed nine of the appropriation bills and has the other five in good shape to be passed this week This will leave the decks clear for action on the conference report on the tariff bill. and everything now roints to adjournment by the first of August. The only thing that can upset these calculations is the failure of the con. ference to reach an agreement that will be accepted by both senate and house. and that is not expected.

THE bill to admit Utah as the forty-fifth state now lacks only the presidents sigma ture to make it operative. and the people of the territory can then proceed to qualify for statehood. It is to be regretted that Utah could not have been taken in by the process of annexing her to Nevada. so as to have made a respectable state of that rotten borough. As for Utah herself she deserves the the prize of statehoood, hav- ing had at the time of the last census one and half times the population of Mon- tana, two and half times that of Idaho. and three and half times that of Wyom- ing. Her resources are both vast and va- ried. and the institution of polygamy. which so long disgraced the territory. is virtually dead. Her admission into the union wipes out this blot entirely.
 IT has been stated that large collection of paintings by artists of the same nation ality, when taking the same general tone, seem to be prophetic of coming events of great importance to the nation. It is said that in Paris salons. just before the out break of any war in which France sas been involved, a very large proportion oi the paintings have been martial subjects, and the theory is that this fact indicate: that in the minds of the grelt mass of the people a warlike spirit was prevalent. which was caught by the artists and ex' pressed in their works. Now the Parisian papers upon this years Paris salon be cause of the large number of military sub jects that it contains. There are enougt of them to recall the theory of prophecy and to revive actual fears of war vitt Germany in the near future. It will b. interesting to observe whether or not thu theory is borne out by the facts in thil case.
