 It is a 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 famous of the telegraph companies of this country was an old fashioned Christian William Orton-going from the communion table on earth straight to his home in heaven. What does all that meanf
 do not suppose that the telegraph was invented merely to let us know whether flour is up or down, or which Ally won the race at the Derby, or which marksman beat at Dollymount. suppose the telegraph was invented and built to call the world to God.
 In some of the attributes of the Lord we seem to share on 8 small scale-for instance, in his love and in his kind ness. But until of late foreknowledge, omnisoience, omnipresence, omnipo- tence, seem to have been exclusively Gods possession. God. desiring to make the race like himself, gives us a spe- cies of foreknowledge in the weather probabilities, gives us species of om- nisoienoe in telegraphy, gives us spe- cies of omnipresence in the telephone. gives us . species of omnipotence in the steam power. Discoveries and in- ventions all around about us, people arc asking what next?
 will tell you what next. Next, Q stupendous religious movement. Next, the end of war. Next, the crash of des- potisms. Next, the worlds expurgation. Next, the Christlike dominion. Next, the judgment. What becomes of the world after that I care not. It will have suffered and achieved enough for one world. Lay it up in the drydocks of eternity, like an old man-of-war gone out of service. or fit it up like ship of relief to carry bread to some other suffering planet, or let it be demol- ished. Farewell, dear old world, that bagan .Xiih nezsaiss. and ended with

 Training For Heaven.

Training For Heaven.
 One summer I stood on the isle of Wight, and I had pointed out to me the place where the Eurydioe sank with 200 or 300 young men who were in training for the British navy. You re- member 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 a world missing. The cry will be: Where is that earth where Christ died and the human race were emancipated? Send out fleets of angels to find the missing craft Let them sail up and down, cruise up and down the ocean of eterni- ty, and they will catch not one glimpse of her mountain masts or her top gal lants of floating cloud. Gone down The training ship of world perished in the last tornado. Oh, let 1t not be that she goes down with alton board, but rather may it be said of her passen- gers as it was said of the drenohed pas sengers of tbe Alexandrian corn ship that crashed into the breakers of Meli- ta, "They all escaped safe to land.

The Woman of Today.

One of the best signs of the times is the interest which the women of today are taking in current affairs. It is the custom to characterize the woman's club as fad and refer to tho progress sive woman as an anomaly. But this sort of persifiage doesn't dispose of the question. The truth is that the women are only assuming their proper sphere in the affairs of the world. They read the newspapers, they keep abreast of the times in all matters of public concern. and in doing that they add to their charms and multiply their attractions. The woman of today is a companion, an associate. chum. She takes her proper place in the economy of nature. and iifo is brighter and the world is better because of the change Kansas City Times.

 It Is sometimes said that during re- vivals of religion great multitudes of children and young people are brought into the church, and they do not know what they are about. It has been my observation that the earlier people come into the kingdom of God the more use- ful they are.
 Robert Hall, the prince of Baptist preachers, was converted at 3 years of age. It is supposed he knew what he was about. Matthew Henry, the com mentator, who did more than any man of his century for increasing the inter- est in the study of the Scriptures. was converted at II years of age; Isabella Graham, immortal in the Christian church, was converted at 10 years of age; Dr. Watts, whose hymns will be sung all down the ages, was converted at years of age; Jonathan Edwards, perhaps the mightiest intellect that the American pulpit ever produced, was con- verted at years of age, and that father and mother take an awful responsibili- ty when they tell their child a. years of age, "You are too young to be a Christian," or "You are too young to connect yourself with the church. :" That is mistake as long as eternity.

 tensity of heat, and the south wind blew stronger and stronger. and soon all the ioefield began to grind up. ice berg against iceberg, and to flow away. The first resolution passed by the con- vention was, Resolved, that we abol. ish the sun. ."
 But the sun would not be abolished. The heat of the sun grew greater and greater until after awhile the very king of the icebergs began to perspire under the glow, and the smaller icebergs fell over, and the cry was: "Too much ex- oitement! Order, orderi' Then the whole body, the whole field, of ice be. gan to flow out, and thousand voices began to ask: Where are we going to now? Where are we floating to? We will all break to pieces." By this time the ioebergs had reached the gulf stream, and they were melted into the bosom ot the Atlantic ocean. The warm sun Is the eternal Spirit. The ioebergs are frig, id Christians. The WAITE gulf stream Is a great revival. The ocean into which everything melted is the great, wide heart of the pardoning and sympathiz- ing God.
 A Word About the Ministry.
 But I think, after all, the greatest obstacle to revivals throughout Chris tendon today is an unconverted minis try. We must believe that tho vast ma jority of those who officiate at sacred altars are regenerated. but I suppose there may float into the ministry of all tho denOmi ationa of Christians men whose hearts have never been changed by the grace of God. Of course they are all antagonistio to revivals
 How did they get into the ministry! Perhaps some of them chose it as re- spectacle profession. Perhaps some chose it as means of livelihood. Per- haps some of them were sincere, but were mistaken. As Thomas Chalmers said. he had been many years preaohinn .

CHICAGO, July G. - All the main
buildings of the worlds fair, except
the horticultural building, the Wo-
mems building, the Art palace, the
Machinery ball and the United States
government building. were almost
entirely burned last night. They
were the property of the Columbian
Exposition Salvage company and had
been purchased for about 500, ,00J.
The fire was discovered by several
boys in the southwestern corner of
the first floor of the terminal station.
When first seen it was but an incip-
lent blaze and the boys tried TO stamp
it out for several minutes. They
were unsuccessful, however, as the
fierce gale which was then blowing
from the southwest famed the fire.
Before an alarm could be turned in
the fire had reached the second story
of the building. Owing TO the dis
tancc which separated most of the en-
ginc companies from the scene of the
fire, there was considerable delay in
getting Il stream of water upon the
blazing structure.
The first alarm was Immediately
followed by a 81 call, and this by Il
special call for ten engines. BY the
time the FIRST detachment of engines
was fully at work the terminal sta
tlon was Il mass of flames, and the
fire had leaped across TO the Admins
tration building. In twenty minutes
the dome OF this beautiful structure
fell with terrible roar and sparks
aud blazing brands were carried by
the wind north and northeast to the
fria ftry. .nl
buildings. The Electricity was the
first to take fire. In few minutes it
was enveloped in flames and at 7:l0
o'clock the glass roof collapsed and
the iron frame work of the structure
fell in.
At 7;15 o'clock the east end of the
Mining building fell in and the flames
became so fierce that engine com
pauics stationed between the Elec-
tricity and Mining buildings had to
fly for their lives Engine company
Is was forced TO abandon their engine
aud had scarcely time to cut tbe
horses from the traces. One of the
animals succeeded in getting away,
but the other was Suffocated. Several
hundred feet Of hose was also burned.
The fire was communicated almost
simultaneously TO the transportation,
the Manufactures and Agricultural
buildings. BY hard work, however,
the fremcu succeeded in saving the
greater part of the Transportation
building, but the other two buildings
were soon enveloped in flames and by
o'clock the last of the framework
of each had fallen in.
An unknown man was burned "a
death IL, with a companion, was
standing upon one of the couduits
through which power is transmitted
from the Electrical building TO Mac.
Mcnnies fountain. The roof OF the
conduit, which was burning inside,
caved IN, letting both men into the
flames. One of them was burned ia
death and the other so badly that he
may die. Both were boolkeepers for
Marshal Field, and were present as
spectators.

than on any other day since the strike
was begun. Our line is unobstructcd
between Chicago and Denver, and
Albuquerque anl I'll Paso. On the
Colorado Midland we are having Il
little trouble at Grand Junction, but
we will get rid of that to-day. ard
now that the Federal troops have
reached Ration TO cooperate with
those at Trinidad, the New Mexico
division will be opened without any
more delay We will move all de-
layed passenger trains both ways
from Ration to-day. We have not all
the men we want, but we have enough
TO make start. We will have no
trouble in getting men. We won't
re-employ men who have struck.
They have been discharged from the
company's service for good.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 6.-In the rail
road yards and about the Union depot
to-day a more cheerful state of affairs
existed and braver attempt was be-
ing made to handle traffic. More
switch engines were at work than at
any time this week and more freight
cars are being moved. The passenger
service, which had been demoralized
the past forty-eight hours was inn
proving aud all roads reported bet
ter movement in that service. Ia
spite of all this the situation was still
of most serious character.
