Tic Methodist Meeting.

The prOtracted meeting at the Meth
odist Church. which began two weeks
ago, continued up to last night, with
untlagging interest. Sunday night
there was not sitting room for all who
attended, and the mourners' bench
was thronged with anxious penitents.
Rev. n. NJ Clarke. of Evansville, who
has done the preaching, is unique
preacher, somewhat after the Sam
Jones style, but he gets there" and
Brookhaven has been more deeply
stirred religiously by his ever varying
but always bold and vigorous assaults
on all forms of sin than she has in
many day. Bro. Clarke was called
home to-day, and it is probable the
meeting will close tonight He goes
followed by the prayers and hearty
God-speed of the Christian people of
our entire community, without regard
to sectarian lines, and it is earnestly
hoped Brookhaven may some time be
favored with his labors again.

WASHINGTON, June s. - Necker
Island, the prize for which Hawaiian
advices intimate the provisional gov
eminent and England are striving in
an ocean race between the steamer
Hand and H. NJ. s. Champion, has
been the subject of considerable dis
cussion in the last two years The
island was for long time in disputed
possession of Americans interested in
an island venture, and when it was
announced some time ago that the
English flag had been raised over the
little domain in the Pacific England's
policy was severely denounced. The
island is described as being a lagoon
island with a reef of quadrilateral
form Fish abound of a superior
quality, and birds are extremely nu-
marnua
