DRAMATIC SCENE IN a CHURCH.

A dramatic but solemn scene was
witnessed at the dedication of
church in Utica, n. Y, the other day.
Deacon John Schermerhorn, seventy
seven years old, had taken great in
terest in raising funds for building
the new edihce. He was one of the
trustees OF the church, and at the
close of the services the pastor urged
him to make few remarks. He sang
two verses of a hymn and closed
thus: Il have prayed for this place
a great many times. Now l see my
PRAYER answered. Lord, let now thy
servant depart in peace. Lord Jesus.
you know it is all right between thee
and me-" AS he finished the sentence
Mr.. Schermerhorn dropped and i'm
media tely expired. Of course there
was intense excitement in the con-
gregation over this remarkable an
swer to prayer for release from life.

THOROUGH WORK.

The old saying that the German
piles up greenbacks whore the Amer
lean sets out for the p0or-house, Is
strikingly illustrated in story from
Kankakee county, Ill. Fritz Loeb,
an awkward young German, trudged
into the county one day and IN
ouired the price of twenty acres OF
land. Young Ed. Bunch, of whom
he made the inquiry, and who had
inheritated a fine farm and money
besides, laughed at him. "A twenty
acre farml" he said, why, that
wouldn't support a hen and
chickens"
$50 ?'' remarked the German.
Fritz bought his twenty acres Of
land and went to work. Day after
dav, as Mr.. Bunch drove to town
behind span of bays, he saw Fritz
wedding the garden, cutting thlstles,
or hoeing corn. The Germans land
Welded more to the acre, his COWS
gave more milk, his hens laid more
eggs, than his rich neighbor' S.
Pretty Mrs. Bunch, noting the
Germans prosperity, said to him one
day.
''You ought to take a wife,"
Fritz.
NNo one would hat me-" he smiling
~ answered.
Some little Dutch girl might"
"So?"
Years rolled on. Fritz, prudent
and industrious, was making money.
Mr.. Bunch still drove to town be-
hind the span of bays. but he often
borrowed money of the frugal Ger
man, and before long the farm and
stock were mortgaged to the man
who had proved that twenty-acre
farm would support something else
besides a hen and chickens. Mr..
Bunch died, and Fritz came into
possession of the fine farm. There
was little left for the widow and her
two bows, aged ten and twelve.
der little boys can drive oop DEF
cows and dig 'taters," said Fritz
Let them live with me-
The widow consented, and the
bows. fond Of Fritz, threw up then
hats and turned summersaults or
the grass. One day in July, Fr1t:
took refuge at the Bunch farm-hous
during a thunder shower. III
4 widow, nervous at such times, wa
glad to see him, ana gave MIN d.
easy chair, and invited him t.
smoke. AS the smoke from the pip
curled up over his head, Fritz re
marked:
Der farm vhas mine -
Eyes, Fritz"
DER span of bays vhas mine?"
Yes, Fritz"
Der little boys vhas mine"
Yes, Fritz"

She looked through the wlndo'

SOME RESOLUTIONS.

The following resolutions were |
passed at the recent state meeting of
Woman Suffragists t Barton:
Resolved, That we give thanks to God,
1.-The giver of every good and perfect
gift for the progress the cause this as
ISOLATION seeks to advance has made the
past year.
Resolved, That the Vermont Woman's
Suffrage Association is now, as formerly.
non-sectarian and non-partlsan; and IN
vites the aid of all creeds and parties.
Whereas, the right of school suffrage
has already been granted to Vermont
women, and whereas, this has been done
without detriment to the state, or to
woman therefore be it Resolved, that we
believe it safe, as well as Just, that an
other step of progress be taken by the
legislature of ga, and that law extend
ing municipal suffrage to women should
be enacted by that body. We do there
fore promise to do what we can to Sc
cure the nominal ton and election of men,
hers in the next legislature who will ia
vor this measure.
Resolved, That we are lrrevocably
pledged to the principle of the full en-
reimbursement of women, and that we
will continue to labor for this result I'M
til it is accomplished.
| Resolved, That we congratulate the
women of New Zealand and Colorado
on having been made the political equals
of their brothers.
Recognizing with gratitude the work
woman has done, and is still doing, for
the church, be it Resolved, that for this
service, and in justice to her, the church,
through its clergymen and lalty, should
heartily cooperate in the struggle tor
equal rights.
Inasmuch as we recognize the efficient
aid rendered, in the past, by the press OF
the state, be it Resolved, that we extend
to the Vermont press hearty thanks; and
solicit the continuance of its support.
Whereas, the arguments of right and
Justice are all in favor of our cause, we
believe the Withholding of the ballot from
woman is contrary to the teachings Of
the Bible and blot on the fair escutch
con of our state.
Resolved, That we extend thanks &c
Mrs. Clara Bailey and to Mr.. and Mrs
w. !. Stanton, for the beautiful flag pre-
sented to this association.
Resolved, That to the Congregations
church at Barton, and its pastor, Rev. A
c. Swain, for the Christian hospitality
extended to this convention; to the citl
zens who have so happily exemplified tn
same lovely grace in their homes; to tn

TWENTY YEARS AGO.

Twenty years ago, pills, potions and the

The Democrats in Congess are de
stroying our foreign trade by thei
tariff bill. AS everybody knows tina,
measure abrogates all the reciprocity
arrangements with other countrie.
provided for by the Mckinley law
| Now comes the news that the Spanish
government has introduced in the
Cortes bill, to take effect July LIST,
authorizing Cuba and Porto Rico to
collect duty of "a per cent. upon all
articles from the United States now
on the free list of the reciprocity
treaty. This will deal serious blow
to our export trade. 1t hits the far
mers, as it includes meats, lard, but.
ter, cheese, tallow, various grains.
starch and corn products, fruits, vege.
tables, hay straw and bran. 1t strikes
at our manufacturers, as it includes
iron in its various forms, structural
iron. rails, wire, nails, screws. and
manufactures of the metal; books.
barrels, boxes, agricultural irnple-
ments, trade tools. all kinds of ma.
chinery. railways equipment, petro
leum. tile and brick, and a number of
other articles. All of these will have
to pay "a per cent. duty, if imported
into Cuba and Porto Rico.
This is but the beginning of the
complications that will ensue when
the Infamous Senate tariff bill be.
comes law. The sugar schedule will
cause severe Determinations to be
made against our exports by sugar-pro-
ducing countries. Germany, France.
and we think Belgium, give bounty
to foster the production of beet SUI
gar. To put 40 per cent. duty on it.
as the Trust sugar schedule does,
will prove a severe blow to that in
dustry in those countries, and they
are preparing to retaliate. 1t is un-
derstood that Germany has remon.
and threatened that she will
retaliate by imposing discriminating
duty on our grain, flour, pork and
pork products, and other agricultural
productions, imported from the United
States. A resolution has been adopted
by the Senate asking the President to
furnish that body information as to
any protests made by foreign govern
ments, or concerning any proposed
legislation. The reply is
awaited with interest, as it will con-
tain information received by the Sen
ate Department and not made public

There is just one plea that can be
made in behalf of Secretary Gresham
and his fellow Cabinet officers for
their failure to call officially at the
French Embassy in Washington to ex-
press regret for the assassination of
President Carnot, and that is that they
are so ignorant that they didn't know
any better. On no other ground is It
possible to excuse their stupidity dis

able explanation for the greatest Re
public to have to offer to highly civ
ilized. proud sister nation across the

made without adding the sin of false

of: Twill the Iniquity Prosper. II
says:
1.-The revelation of this iniquity is SO
clear that it is impossible TO conceive
of the passage of the pending Tariff bill
with the sugar schedule as it stands.
Even the Senate ought to revise its de-
cision made in Committee of the
Whole, and reform the purchased rates
of duty. The Democratic party can
not carry this load of odinm. 1t would
be much better for it to go to the coun-
try having accomplished nothing in
the way of reform than having accom-,
plished this iniqui.y. If the tariff bill
Is to be defeated unless the Sugar
Trust receives what it demands, let the

disgrace of all the admissions made by
