The News From Petersburg.

"What is the news from Petersburg'" the anxious
roOter said.
'Thcy batted Moves about the lot, and Hobrook
pitched instead"
"Thc scOrci the score | ask no more" the
wild-eyed rooter plead.
"'Twas twenty-five to nothing" the operator
said
"They gave us lts by punching hits, and errors
multiplied;
And Forcman's puzzling twistcrs to slug we
vainly tried

PEOPLE TURNED AWAY.
Enormous Attendance at the
Union Evangelical Services.

Interest in the Union Evangelical
services being held nightly at the First
Presbyterian Church is increasing with
each service, and never since the advent
of the noted evangelist. Rev. Sam
Jones, in this city two years ago, have
SO many people eagerly attended a
series Of religious meetings. The audi
forum of the First Presbyterian Church
was literally crowded last night:long be-
| fore the beginning of the service, and
in short time the chapel adjoining
was filled and many turned away, being
| unable to gain admittance In either
building.
The services wera opened with prayer
by Rev. George 81. Thompson, OF Lee
Street Methodist Church, and the even
ing lesson, parts of the first and second
chapters of Paul's letter to Timothy
was read by Rev. o. G. Miller, of St
Marks Church. After a prayer by
Rev. Fl. c. Garrison, of the Fourth ave-
nue. Christian Church, T. T. Fishburne
announced that it would be necessary to
take up collection to detray the small
and the money remaining after this ex-
pense had been met would be given to
the poor.
Rev. DIR. e. B. Pollard, pastor Of the
Firat Baptist Church, then preached
logical and earnest sermon from the
text" Behold Now is The Accepted Time,
Behold Now is the Day Of Salvation"
Throughout the serman the minister
showed the danger Of delay in religious
matters and illustrated the discourse
with apt and forcible SMILES.
He struck the key note OF the dis
course when he said.
''It has been said it makes little diff
ferenc; how one lives so that he dies
right. The truth is just the reverse, 1t
matters but little how one dies so that
he lives right"
The overflow meeting in the chapel
was full Of interest and the sermon was
preached by Rev. Lewis Reiter, pastor
of st. Paul's Reformed Church.
The services tonight will begin as
usual, praise service at 7:45 and the
regular service at o'clock.

WoMAN,s SUFFRAGE.

The woman's suffrage campaign is
being vigorously carried on in Now
York State, but just now the organized
opposition movement is apparently
gaining as much Roadway as is the
effort being made to secure for women
the same right in elections as men
now possess. The constitutional con-
vention in that state is to be held in
May and the work now being done is
with the idea of influencing the mem.
bers OF that convention one way or the
other.
Mrs. Lyman Abbott, wife of the Rev.
DR.. Abbott, the successor of Henry
Ward Beecher, and who has been one of
the foremost women in the opposition
movement in Brooklyn, expressed her
self To a reporter the other day as fol-
lows
uAy-
any women who have had strong
feeling that voting is not the duty Of
women have been inactive up to this
time because they did not believe that
woman suffrage had any chance of sue
cess which it was necessary 10 fight
against. We were really concerned
with other matters. But now the time
has come for those WHO are opposed to
woman suffrage to be heard. The duties
OF suffrage are not consistent with the
duties OF woman. Suffrage would bring
us down rather than lift us up. / would
be willing to take the burden OF suffrage
If believed suffrage would remedy the
evils complained Of, but do not SO be-
lieve. Woman should not be bread
winner. Suffrage would only intensity
her situation"
The utterances are such as we should
expect to hear from one of the highest
types Of womanhood. II all the females
who are advocating the extension of the
right Of suffrage to themselves should
realize the full significance of Mrs. Alb.
bolts words, they would be loss in sym
pathy and we trust moro actively op-
posing the movement which is now be-
coming so common in this period of
universal unrest.

The regimcntal physician declared,
although the duel was over, that mono

To end the dispute the principals agreed
to meet again in the afternoon with
pistols. Meanwhile the physician met

Then, lifting his pistol in his left

The Position of Cleveland is not I'M
like that of Lewis the Sixteenth.

Tyberias was man of great
mind, he had to deal with the
patricians of Rome, turbulent,
arrogant, vindictive, blood thirsty,
Unsuitable robbers of the people;
claiming as matter of right all
the offices, honors and spoils; utterly
ignoring the people and bribing
the voters. Tybe. las organized his
Pretorians and thus saved Roman
society from chaos and confusion
and bloody strife which could have
been prevented in no other way.
Mr.. Cleveland has to deal with
65, 100000 people, the greatest,
most enlightened, moral and power
ful of earth. He has taken sides
with not against the patricians OF
America-with, not against, the
money power of the East and
against the producers of the West
and South and the working bees
everywhere. But where is his
Pretorian Guard; where his army;
where his supporters? Let bank
ers, Office seekers and money chang
erS answer. Thus the money
power is with him. But that power
was with Charles the first and
Lewis the sixteenth. Trache and
the Shermans. the Carlisles, the
Lodges and the Reeds are bundled
with him. True his cunning,
aStute message may deceive many
but events will undeceive them.
The position of Mr.. Cleveland is
not unlike that of Lewis the six
teenth, and Congress- comes together
not unlike the States General of
that day. He may hear the Mar
salaise and the cry "veto" at an
hour he thinks not of.-W., in

THE household.
About the Eyes.

Don't allow cold wind to strike
the eyes.
Don't have colored shades on the
lamps; use white or ground glass.
Don't go directly from warm
room into a cold raw atmosphere.
DON'T open the eyes under water
in bathing, especially in salt water.
Don't let any strong light, like
that from electricity, shine directly
into the eyes.
Don't strain the eyes by reading,
or any like occupation, with an
imperfect light.
Don't battle infamed eyes with
cold water; that which is as warm
as can be born is better.
DON'T sleep opposite window in
such manner that strong light
will strike the eyes on awakening.
Don't above all, have the children
sleep so that the morning sun shall
shine in their faces to arouse them.
