credit of DR.. Alderson's work. Last
evening DR.. Ray occupied the pulpit at
the church.

JEFFERSON'S BIRTHDAY.
1t is the 151st Anniversary, Not Niue
Observed This Year For Some Reason

1t is the 15Ist Anniversary, Not Much
Observed This Year For Some Reason.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Today is the
151st anniversary of the birth of Thomas
Jefferson, third president of the United
States, ''author of the declaration of in
dependence" to quote the inscription on
his tombstone at Monticello, Virginia,
and the statesman who for a century has
been revered by succeeding generations
as TIA very embodiment of democracy.
: ices received here in response to
inc aries, however, indicate that the day
will not be as generally observed as in
previous years. During the first term of
President Cleveland each recurring
April I'd was marked by scores of ban
quets and demonstrations on the part Of
democratic clubs and similar organiza-
tions in different parts of the country,
and the same practice obtained to very
large extent last year.

THE NEWS AT NEW YORK.

The Ems Had Board One Hundred and
twenty-five Passengers
New YORK, April I'm spite OF the
protestations at the office of the North
German Lloyd there was no anxiety felt
for the steamer Ems, there was lively
exhibition of interest there when the
Associated Press reporter entered with
the announcement that the vessel had
reached Fayal in a disabled condition.
The Ems was built in 1884 by j. Elder &
Company and is an from steamship OF
3, 129 gross tons.
Her compound engines are capable of
developing 1000 horse power She is
schooner rugged. with four pole masts.
and is provided with seven bulkheads.
Her length is 1908 feet; she is AZ feet
beam, and her depth of hold is 34.5 feet.
Her saloon passenger list embraces "a
names. among them Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Dahlgren and compile Del Borgetto. The
steerage passengers number something
over hundred.
The probability is that the KaiserWil-
helm, of the German Lloyd Mediterra-
mean service. will be ordered to stop at
the Azores and pick up the passengers
of the Ems.
The Kaiser Wilhelm leaves Italy on
Friday and Gibralter on Monday next,
so she will be able to reach Fayal by
Wednesday. 1t may be that the Columbia
of the Hamburg American line, which is
in the pool with the North German
Lloyds will be used for the same purpose.
The Columbia was, according to sched-
ule, to leave Gibraltar this m orning, and
there is a chance that the London office
heard of the Ems arrival at Fayal in
time to send relieving instructions to her.
1t will be necessary to send ship to
Fayal with a new rudder frame to take
the place of the broken one. The pro-
peller frame is steel frame that fits in
between the rudder and the hull of the
vessel and supports the propeller on an
axis which runs from one upright to the
other.
To BE Brought to New York.
FAYAL, Azores Islands, April 2.--It is
understood here that the agents of the
North German Lloyd steamship have in
structed Capt L. Stoermer, who is in
command Of the Kaiser Wilhelm III, to
call at this port and tranship the passen-
gers from the Ems and bring them to
New York. The Kaiser Wilhelm II
will sail from Genoa, April 3, calling at
Gibraltar on the 9Th, and will probably
reach here early on the 10th.

BY HER OWN PETARD.

The Brazilian Insurgent Steamer Venus
Sunk OF Engenho Island by the Explo-
sion of One of Her Own Shells Dropped
by Careless Sailor-The Crew Saved.
Rio DE JANEIRo, Feb. %, via MONTE
vIDEo, Feb. 26.-The insurgent steamer
Venus was off Engenho island early
yesterday morning, bombarding the
government fort at Madonna point.
Her ammunition was stored in a maga-
zine constructed with bags of sugar
piled high from the floor and about
seven feet thick on every side. A
sailor who was taking shell from the
magazine dropped it on the floor.
The shell exploded and the maga-
zine was blown up. The sailor
who dropped the shell was killed in
stantly and several other men were in
jured. Everything near the magazine
was wrecked and hole was torn in
the side of the vessel. She began fill
ing at once, rolled slowly to starboard,
and soon afterward went to the bot
tom. The crew was Saved by small
boats from the insurgent steamer
Jupiter.
Several newspapers published at
once story to the effect that she'll
from the government fort at Point
Madonna exploded the Venus maga-
zine. This falsehood was made out of
whole cloth, as the fort had not fired a
shot during the half hour Immediately
preceding the explosion.

MARY AS A MASON.

Mrs. Lease Tells How She Learned the
Secrets Of the Order-Her Views on the
Hard Times.
CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Mrs. Mary Lease,
of Kansas, whose efforts in behalf of
equal suffrage has made her famous
throughout the country, was in the
city yesterday en- route to New York.
She was asked about her masonic con-
nections and replied
when ! was girl of Is, was liv-
ing in Lockport, n. Y. A friend Of
mine, who was a prominent mason,
put it in my way to witness masonic
initiation, and I saw the three degrees
administered to a candidate"
''Were you admitted to the lodge
room?"
No. | was behind door that had
a sliding wicket in it, and | saw the
whole proceedings through that
wicket. So you see that is the way |
became mason. For to be in posses
sion Of the secrets of the craft is to be
a mason"
Mrs. Lease further stated that she
believed the time had come when
women should bind themselves to-
gether for mutual aid and protection
in an oath bound organization in the
line of masonry. and that she intended
organizing lodges for women. Mrs.
Lease concluded by saying:
This cry Of tariff being at the bot
tom of hard times is all chaff, and does
not affect any of our party. Secretary
Window, in his speech in New York
the day he was stricken down, said
that great financial crisis had been
averted by the selling of bonds before
there was need of the m by the govern
ment. When the effect of the bond
sale had been passed, the depreciation
he had averted for time came upon
US. The real cause of this depression
goes back to '73, when silver was de-
none tized, and the recovery will not
follow until silver is restored to its
rightful place"

CINCINNATI, Eel 27.-Bishop J. M.
Walden, of the Methodist Episcopal
church, delivered an address on
africa" before tho local Methodist
Ministers association yesterday morn
ing. Bishop Walden sees bright fu-
ture in store for the colored race. He
believes that God has special plan
arranged for them to take an import
ant part in evangelizing the world,
and that Africa is the only part of the
globe open to them inviting their la
bors. Said he:
II do not mean colonization, | have
no thoughts as to that, but the colored
people will in the next decade be seized
with burning desire to enter the
African fields and do something for
Gods Word. The colored people are
the most religious people on the globe,
and they will eventually become one of
the strongest races of people of the
world"
Bishop Walden says that missionary
work in Africa is becoming most thor
ough, and that nearly all of the mis-
sionary work of the age is being done
bv the Anglo-Saxon countries.
