FATAL LANDSLIDE.
Two Acres Of Tacoma Slide Into Puget
r Sound.

Two Acres Of Tacoma Slide Into Puget
- Sound. -.
Shortly after II O'Clock p. m. forty-hve feet
OF the south end ofthe Puget Sound ware
house of the Northern Pacific Railroad on
the water front at Tacoma, WASH, including
the Office of the road, che cattle sheds
and the pump house for hydraulic work
OF filling in tide lands, sank into the
bay. Just what caused the disaster Is
mystery which no one has as yet
explained. John Hansen. a watchman. was
in the pump house. ED he was drowned.
Close BY to the south was the boat house OF
d B. Alger, built partly on made land and
partly on piles. This turned " completely
over. A family Of six persons were asleep In
the boat house ut the time. All were rescued
except fltteen-year-old girl named Emma
Stubbs, who Is missing.
AT an early hour the land seemed to be-
still slowly slipping into the bay. What ap-
peared to be tidal wave was observed by
Sergeant Harris at Old Town, more than a
mile away. Several ships parted their
cables, but were secured before sustaining
any damage. The strip OF land which slid
into the bay was from ESQ tc 300 yards long
and from sixty to seventy feet wide.
wav's water front property Is found later to
be much more disastrous and attended with
more loss Of Life than was at first supposed.
The length of the strip which caved in Is
about 1400 feet. and the damage done ex-
tends back In places 100 fee:.
Many OF the boats served as sleeping apart
ments for their owners, and for this reason
It was thought several lives had been lost
besides those OF Hanson. the watchman, and
Emma Stuoos. fifteen years old, the step
daughter OF H. B. Alger.
The damage to property will be over $780,
900. Much freight was standing on the
wharves and stored In tae warehouses which
collapsed.
Intne Northern Pacific freight Office which
went down WAS safe containing S14, 900.
The bodies OF Waterman John Hansen and
Emma Stubbs have been recovered. The
har5o. IS strewn with wrecEage. Three
thousand cases OF cnnned salmon and thirty
balls OF grain SACKS are al the freight that
went down. Aoout TWO acres OF land have
slid into the Soun".

I will tell you what next. Next, q
stupendous religious movement. Next, the
end Of war. Next, the crash OF despotisms.
Next, the worlds expurgation. Next, the
Christlike dominion. Next, the Judgment.
What becomes Of the world after that care
not. Il will have suffered and achieved
enough for one world. Lay It up IN the
irydocks OF eternity, like an ole man-of-war
gone out OF service, or fit It up Ike ship
Of relief to carry bread to some other suffer-
Ing planet, or let It be demolished. Fare
we'll, dear old world, that began with
paradise and ended with judgment con-
dagration!
One summer stood on the Isle Of Wight,
and had pointed out to me the place where
the Eurydice sank with 200 or 800 young
men who were In training for the British
navy. You remember when the training ship
went down there was thrill Of horror all
over the world. Oh, my friends, this
world Is only training ship. On It
We are training for heaven. The OLD
ship sails up and down the ocean OF I'm
mensity, now through the dark wave Of the
midnight. now through the golden crested
wave Of the morn, but sails on and sails on.
After awhile her work will be done, and the
inhabitants of heaven will look out and find
. world missing. The cry will bs: where
Is that earth where Christ died and the hu.
man race were emancipated3 Send out
fleets of angels to find the missing
craft" Let them sail up and down,
cruise up and down the ocean OF eternt..
~, and they will catch not one glimpse OF
her mountain masts or her top gallants OF
aoating cloud. Gone down! The trsining
ship OF world perished In the last tornado.
oh, let It not be tnat she goes down With all
ON board, but rather may 1t be said OF ner
passengers as It was said Of the drencned
passengers OF the Alexandrian corn ship that
crashed into the breakers Of Melita, "They all
escaped safe to land" .

The Algerian Desert.

We were jogging along gently
through the sand of the Sahara,
bound for the black tents of Ell Hadi
Ahmed Add el Kader ben ell Hadj
Mohammed. This is a long name !;
but then we were long time getting
there, and my memory needed exer-
else. Far away behind us stretched
the ragged ridge of the Atlas; ahead
of us nothing but gray blanket Of
sand waving away into an ininity OF
shiny mist. I had seen the same sort
of thing in Colorado, Remington said
it was Arizona all over again. People
grow silent and sensitive when they
live on the great plains, and no won
der. To the desert-dweller every
star gainD in significance, every OBJ
ject that lifts it's head above the
horizon. The cloud that scuds; the
bird; the track of an animal; the
shape Of q tent; the load of . camel;
the track of man; bunch Of grass;
q sign of water-whatever arrests his
eye on days march speaks to him Of
nature ministering to variety OF his
needs. he must have water and
grass; he must have shelter from
storms; he must avoid dangerous
gullies; must watch for signs of wild
beasts; must anticipate the ambush b
of an enemy-and with it all use
heaven as his. guide, with its sun by
day and stars by night. The traveller
of the desert plains is never without
occupation; his eyes are sweeping the
horizon without interruption, and he
picks his way by the help Of a judg.
ment constantly exercised-for the
Arab knows no roads which are not
unmade by one puff of sand.
It was little that we saw. in the
shape of humanity-a camel train now
and then bearing dates and wool from
the interior, the camels swinging
along with irritating regularity, feed
ing as they moved, and treading
gently, as though on rotten ground.
The drivers eyed Us malevolently, and
I telt comfort inreaecting that France
supported $4,000 soldiers in Algeria
for the express purpose of making
our journey safe. The caravans were
escorted by Arab horsemen in white
burnooses, perched high upon tough
and springy mustangs. Each horse
man had his gun balancing across his
saddle-bow, and looked at us as though
repeating imprecations from the
Koran.-Harper's Magazine.

A At noon. surrounded by members OF the
Legislature, and with the usual military dis.
play, Colonel Oates took the oath OF office
upon tho steps OF the State Capitol. Numer.
Gus threats had been made by friends Of
Kolb, and, to avoid any possibility Of any
thing like violence, moro than twenty COM
panies Of State troops, with loaded cartridges
IN their belts, were present and participated
In the Inauguration ceremonies. They were,
however, without disorderly event.
A hour before Ostes's Inauguration Kolb
md his Cabinet, in the office Of q notary
public down town had that official ad-
minister TO them the oaths that are pre-
scribed by law for the Governor and other
State officials. Only a few witnesses
were present. Immediately thereafter
the company marched together on foot
to the Capitol, nearly q mile away,
the programme being that an inaugural
address from its steps should be made, as Is
the custom. Arriving there they found
every entrance to the Capitol grounds lined
with troops. The party went up the front
walk through the open ranks and drew up
near the right end OF the big stone steps.
Without delay detachment OF troops was
Realizing that this was equivalent to no.
tlce that the address would not be tolerated
from the Capitol steps, Captain Kolb and W.
8. Reese, the Attorney General on his tic
ket, sought Governor Jones to ascertain II
they had correctly interpreted the situation.
Governor Jones politely assured them that
they had The Kolbites then withdrew to
the street in front Of Capitol square. and
there the Inauguration speech was heard.
When Kolb had finished Dr.. Grove, the
Perry County fire cater" took the stand.
He advised peace, and in the same breath
announced that he desired all Kolb's friends
to meet him for the purpose OF organizing
body of volunteers, as he expressed II, to
"back our Governor, Kolb." The announce
ment was received with cheering. DR..
Grove then declared the Democrats OF Ala-
bama ballot box thieves and scoundrels, and
the Kolb Inauguration was over.
It Is evideut that q serious breach hos oc-
Cured in the Populists' ranks over Kolb's
inauguration. He consulted few OF the lead-
ers Of his party before announcing his de-
termination to be sworn In, and they feel
that It is not their fight Not one-tenth OF
the Populist members of the Legislature
lent their presence to his Inauguration or
listened to his address. Most OF them 40
knowledge they do not favor the inaugura-
tio1 ocheme.
Kolb determined to send message to the
Legislature insisting that they pass fair
election contest law. He Will also give GER
tiacates Of election to the four or five con-
testees for seats In Congress from Alabama
State, hoping that the Republican majo:lty
there will seat the contestants, und thereby
recognize his credentials.

What Has Your Goldfish Eaten I

!. Mere people know of the virtue OF
cod liver oil than know in what that
virtue consists. It is not that there is
any peculiar health-giving qualities
ebout the vital tissues Of the Goldfish
any more than in those Of any other
fish or ofland animals.
, The virtue of cod liver oil, it is de-
clared, depends wholly on the food
which the Goldfish has eaten, and II the
cod has not fed on the right food, his
liver will not yield oil of any more
benefit to the victim of consumption
or an@mia than any other fish oil.
The best cod liver oil is obtained
from cod that have fed on kelp. n sea
weed that is not found on soft or
muddy bottoms. It is q rock weed
and does not grow near the shore on
the American coast. Every one knows
how much better milk is given by
COWS that have fed on rich pastursge
than by those whose feed has been
stale hay /; and the cod that has i:'ed
in deep water and fessted on the rich,
juicy and aromatic kelp is altogether o
different fish from the one that has
lived near shore and eaten CLANS and
mussels. diet that no self-respecting
fish will touch at all when it can have
anything else.
Thus the oil from cod caught near
the shore is practically worthless,
while that made from deep sea cod is
one Of the most nourishing and health
giving of foods. The best cod liver
oil comes from Norway, where all the
cod are rockbottom fish and live e1-
clusively on kelp and similar sea weed.

fautt OF tno Cnurch OF Clrl6t.
Is It too much to expect each one to bring
one? Some OF us must bring more than one,
for some will not do their duty. want to
bring 10000 souls. should be ashamed to
meet my God In Judgment II, with all my op-
portuntties OF commending Christ to the
people, could not bring 10000 souls. But
It will all depend upon the revival spirit. The
hook and line fishing will not do It.
It seems to me as II God is preparing the
world for some quick and universal move
ment. A celebrated electrician gave me q
telegraph chart OF the world. On that chart
the wires crossing the continent and the
cables under the sea looked like veins req
with blood. On that chart I see that the
headquarters Of the lightnings are IN Great
Britain and the United States. In London
and New York the lightning5 are stabbed,
waiting to be harnessed for some quick dis
patch. That shows you that the telegraph
Is in possession of Christianity.
It Is significant fact that the man who
invented the telegraph was an old fashioned
Christian-Professor Morse-and that the
man who put the telegraph under the sea
was an old fashioned Christian-Cyrus W.
Field-and that the president of the most ia
nous OF the telegraph companies OF this
country was an old fashioned Christian
William Orton-2oing from the communion
table on earth straishtto mis- home in heaven.
What does all that mean
I do not suppose that the telegraph was in
vented merely to let US know whether flour
Is up or down. or which fllly won the race at
the Derby. or which marksnan beat at DOL
lymount. Isuppose the telegraph was in.
vented and built to call the world to God.
In some Of the attributes of the Lord we
seem to share on small scale-for instance,
In His love and in His kindness. But until Of

clusively Gods possession. God desiring to
make the race like Himself. gives us a spe-
cies OF foreknowledge in the weather proba-
bilities, gives US species OF omniscience in
telegraphy, gives US species Of omnipres-
ence in thetelephone, gives us a species OF
omnipotence in the steam power. Discov-
cries and inventions all around about Us,
people are asking what next!
