A Memory Ct the Late Dr.. Deems.

Editor Christian Advocate: A few
years ago, at Ocean Grove, heard DIR
Deems relate to large audience how
he came to write the poem you quoted
recently in your editorial on that dis
tinguished divine. After a long ILL
ness, when for time his life was des
paired of, he became conyalescent e.
nough to 60 to his study and look over
the correspondence which had accu.
mulated during his sickness. There
was great pile of letters, more than q
bushel. AS lie looked at them the
perspiration started from every pore,
and from very despair he said "How
can ever read all these? What shall
| do?" Just then something said to
him: don't try to read them now,
write poem." Suiting the action to
the suggestion, he began:
"The world is wide
In time and tide
And God Is guide,
Don't hurry"
Too weak to write more. he laid a.
side the manuscript. Some time after
that, not yet fully restored to health,
he went to Carlisle, Pa, to deliver an
address in connection with the Com
mencement exercises of Dickinson
College. On reaching Carlisle he
found the town full of excitement over
wonderful address just given by Hon.
Stewart l.. Woodford. Every one
said to him, "Woodfrod has given US
one Of the finest addresses ever heard
in Carlisle" Once more he was in de-
spair. He said: "How can I, not a
we'll man, follow such q man? What
can 1 say? What shall do?"
He walked the floor of his room.
The perspiration started from every
pore of his body. He was almost wild
from weakness and fear. Again the
suggestion came to his relief: Write
poem" He took up the unfinished
task of weeks before, beginning where
he left off:
And he is best,
Whodoes his best,
And leaves the rest,
Don't worry.
He then repeated the completed poem
and retired for the night. Said he,
II never had asweeter nights sleep.
/ rose IN the morning with both body
and mind delightfully."- refreshed.
When the hour came for my address
l went before the great audience. and
bad one of the best times in my life.
My hearers were in perfect sympathy
with me, and many came to me after
ward and told me how much / had
helped them."
This is the history of the origin of
that little poem. Looking it over,
line by line, L question if DIR. Deems,
before or since, said so much in so
small compass.
The world is wide
In time and tide
And-God Is guide:
Then, do not hurry.
"That man Is blest
Who does his best
And-leaves the rest:
Then, do not worry"

the Academy of Music, will sail for England

Continent. She will return home in time
for the opening Of the theatrical season next
fall.
Mrs. Henderson said, when~ interviewed by
a representative of The NEWS this morning,
that the season now closing has been. an ex-
cellent one. In fact, it compared ~favorably
with that of the preceding year. When the
other theatres were drawing small audiences
the Academy was filed. Mrs. Henderson
said. also. that the financial depression had
not affected her theatre at all, although, as
one might expect, some engagements were
not as profitable as others. Mrs. Henderson
expressed herself as being highly gratifed
at the manner in which Jersey City people
had 1ocked to see Wilson Barrett and other
actors of note at the Academy.
The present season will close with Mr..
Peter Daley in stThe Country Sport or

The arrangements for the next season
| have already been made and the plays to be
presented at the Academy will be in the

DOCTORS MAD INFATUATIoN.
Resulted in the Shooting of the
WOmanss Husband.


CORVALLIS, Oregon, May II, 1s94.-The
shooting of Charles Kenyon by DR.. J. M.
Applewhite, yesterday afternoon, was high
" sensational. The affair grew out of Ap-
plewhite's attentions to Mrs. Kenyon. He
was her physician, and, that he might visit
her more easily, induced her husband to JON
a secret society which brought him to Cor
wallis one night in tho week. As might have
been expected, the affair terminated IN a
~disgraceful scandal, and the pair left for
San Francisco. Upon their return they
were arrested for adultery. Subsequently
the woman repented and was forgiven. Since
then the doctor has repeatedly suggested an
other elopement but without success. Yester-
day while the Kenyons were driving to their,
home, four miles distant, Applewhite fired
from behind a tree striking Kenyon He
then pulled the woman from the carriage
and held her in front of him. When
Kenyon recovered he returned the fire and q
fusilade was kept UP until the woman cried,
sT am shot" Kenyon then drove to his
brotherin-law's for assistance. Later the
Sheriff and a posse started in pursuit OF the
doctor and the woman, but they have not as
vet been found. Both families are very
prominent. Applewhite is Treasurer OF the
Board of Regents Of the State Agricultural
College.

STEALING AN AssEMBLYMAN.
Republicans Fake a Seat From Hun'
teTsson and give 1t TO Camden.

tessson and Give 1t TO Camden.
Special to the Jersey city Bears.
TRENTON, May y, 1s9A.-The most in
iquitous act which the Republicans ever ae-
cused the Democrats OF performing cannot
surpass the rank partisan measure which the
Senate raised yesterday. It was a plain,
unyaruishel steal of an A~sSelablyman. One
of the f~avorits themes of the Republicans of
late has been what they call the Ubiquitous
gerrymander, or Stealing OF Assembly seats.
Everyone who remembers the gerrymander
of the Republicans, which gave hudson
County the famous horseshoe, knew now
hypocriticaI their rawlings were, but few were
prepared for such an open exhibition OF in
consistent impuaence as that afforded yester-
day. President Rogers called Senator Stokes
to the chair and went down upon the noor
to urge the passage Of a bin which axes
from the Democratic county of Hunterdon
an Assemblyman and gives MIN to the Eo.
publican county OF Camden OF all kinds of
crime the most despicable is such mean,
petty larceny as the sneak thief commits,
and this Assembly steal belongs in that cate
CORY.
The bill was taken up after the measure
providing for the election Of Assamolyinen
by counties had passaG without comment
Senator Daily ATTACKED the bill savagely. lie
spoke of the agricultural interests OF hun
terdon. which were entitled to as much re
cognition as the manufacturing interests OF
Camden. He declared that it would be do
ing an injustice TO the farmers OF Runterdon
to rob them OF a representative III the Cen
eral Assembly in order that the residents
of Camden County might secure another
Assemblyman.
President Rogers attempted to excuse the
steal by taking refuge behind that very hex-
IDLE article the New Jersey Constitution. He
read the clause which says that the Assem-
blymen shall be apportioned among the
various counties according to population,
and claimed tina Hunterdon had not grown
in population of late, while Camden had.
Therefore Camden should have an additional
Assemblyman at Hunterdon's expense. He
also said that there were agricultural in
terests in Camden which were entitled to
as much recognition as those Of Hunterdon.
He did not say, however, why this other
member which Camden so sorely needed was
not taken from some Republican county in
stead of the Democratic county of Hudson.
The bill passed. of course, by the usual
strict party vote. The Congressional gerry
mander by which the Republicans hope to
get a majority of the Congressman from this
State, passed without debate.
