The exercises opened with a praise

called to order and after prayer by
Dea. Pierce the roll call was continued.
The names of the deceased members
of the church were responded to in a
feeling manner by Dea. Pierce and sis
ter White.
The Christian Crusaders who have
so nobly aided this church during the
past three weeks in leading many souls
to accept Christ, gave helpful testi-
monies.
A solo was then rendered by Mr..
Julian johnson in his usual acceptable
manner.
The spirit ofthe meeting was marked
by deep earnestness and devotion to
the church and the cause of Christ.
The testimonies from resident and non
resident members were helpful and en-
couraging.
Rev's. Mackey, Sisson and Curtis
were present and responded to their
names with appropriate remarks.
The roll call was concluded at 400
O'Clock p. m.

choir also to the table committees. Ad-
journed to meet at call of committee.
The following expression Of conf
dence in the band of Christian Crusa-
ders was unanimously adopted by a
rising vote of the Baptist church in
this place on Sunday, Aug. 26, '94 !;
We desire to express our apprecia-
tion of the efforts of the Christian
Crusaders who have been laboring
with us during the past three weeks.
For their consistent Christian deport-
ment, for their zeal and fidelity to the
cause of Christ, and for the faithful
work they have done among us in
winning souls for the master. May
the blessing Of God attend them in
all their efforts, and may their labors
in the future, as in the past, be
crowned with abundant fruitage for
God.
For the church,
n. A. WooD, Pastor.

LOWELL LAKE.
Grand Naval Display.

The arrival of Vice Admiral Jno.
r. Chaplin and wife and of Harry S.
Chaplin and his wife at the lake was
celebrated by grand naval review
and torch light procession embracing
the entire fleet and guests at this favor
lite resort, Wednesday the 22d inst,
being the 46th anniversary of the mar
riage of the Admiral and his charming
lady, the day was given up topleasure,
and the jovial kommodore did his best
to make it a memorable occasion. The
morning was ushered in by a parade
of the full Lowell Lake band who dis
+coursed music appropriate to the 'day
we celebrate. In the evening the
guests-ladies, gentlemen and children
formed in procession with torches,
and after tour Of the grounds board
ed the various vessels of the navy and
with the Admiral leading in the flag
ship Jno. r. Chaplin, the ironclads in
two lines on either side, the cutters
bringing up the rear, they paraded the
waters Of the lake, forming a magnifi-
cent spectacle highly appreciated by
the denizens beneath and the guests on
shore. After pursuing the various
maneuvers, ordered by the Admiral
the fleet landed its passengers at the
docks, passing in review and receiving
the thanks of the Vice Admiral. They
then adjourned to the dance hall where
the light fantastic was exercised until,
when our reporter left, the fun was fast
and furious. The genial DR.. Flanders
and his no less pleasant lady furnished
the music, and the efficient and active
"Cap" Harry Hilton aided very ma
terially in the interesting and joyous
occasion.
One feature of the procession was a
transparency bearing IN one side ''many
happy returns, on another "Hurrah
for the Chaplin Buffalo" and on still
another "1S4S-1S94." Fireworks
and fire balloons added their charm to
the festive occasion and the 22d of
August will long be remembered at the
Jake.
Boarders are timing out this week,
but the house continues full. everv
night. Last Saturday nights dance
was well attended-fifty-two couples.
One noticeable feature about these
dances is, there are no rows, no rum.
All is quiet and orderly. Ladies and
gentlemen and that is why they are
so well attended.

their profession, and at par value, no

from Connecticut, but as yet have
offered no wooden nutmegs. They
are royal good fellows aud we hope
to have them again.
Crops and most everything is dried
up but not SO dry quite as in Chester.
"Dell' says it is so dry there they
have to soak their hogs to make them
hold swill. Farmers generally are
feeding their stock and many are
carting water for them.

Agricultural society now stopping at
the lake says crops are about worth
less, although just now they are hav-
ing some rains, but coming too late
to save the crops.

Economical Spring Gowns for Ladies.

A somewhat rapid glance over the
coming fashions shows that they are
practically the same as last years.
This fact, however, will prove a bless
ing in disguise, as it will enable many
to exercise we'll timed economy and
take advantage of this sameness of
style for remodelling old dresses.
Every part Of gown can thus be
made over, and especially the over
skirt which will be SO largely worn.
By using an old skirt as an overdress
above a sham skirt OF different
material, the transformation will be
at once both complete and effective.
If the lower part of an old dress be
worn or soiled, it may easily be re
moved, as the drapery in some styles
is drawn up as far as the knee on the
side, and half way between the foot
and the knee in front. AS matter of
course the draperies are varied in
form and sometimes quite com
plicated. The Mcdowell FASHION
JOURNALS contain all the novelties Of
the season, and moreover, in order to
furnish further assistance to their read
ers, they offer supplement of patterns
of the latest styles. These may be
secured by means of coupons at an
exceedingly moderate price. 'La
Mode de Paris and "Paris Album
of Fashion" cost only $3.50 a year or
IS cents each per copy. "rhe FIR rench
Dressmaker " is $3.ooper annum or
80 cents copy. ala Mode" which
is the best family fashion magazine in
existence is offered at the exceedingly
low price of $3.50 year or IS cents

The Senate Tariff Bill.

The Democratic majority in the
Senate is such a narrow one, and it
contains SO many weak kneed gentle
men, that lIom the beginning OF the
tariff discussion the chief ncern of
the friends OF revenue reform has been
to discover how much the far expecta-
tion of the party would have 10 be
modified in order to secure full vote.
In the effort to steer safe course be-
tween what ought to be done and
what can be done in the way of tariff
revision the Wilson bill as amended
and presented to the full Senate Fl
nance Committee was yesterday given
to the public and its salient features
are printed in the Record this morning.
In one important particular the
amendments to the bill have improved
1t. The tax laid upon sugar will bring
sufficient addition to the revenue to
make the income of the Government
sufficient for all purposes of fixed or
probable expenditure. The imposi-
tion of the sugar tax paves the way for
dropping the income tax feature which
is still part of the bill
The amendments which take iron
ore and coal from the free list and i'm
pose duty of 40 cents ton upon
both are Of small consequence as pro
ducers of revenue and are a vicious
and mischievous departure from the
lines on which the battle of 1892 was
fought and won.
On the whole, however, the work Of
the Senate Committee is better than
was expected. Less mischief was
hatched in a month of incubation than
long opportunity and importantly
usually bring forth. There is a well
founded belief that the bill practically
in its present shape will be passed af-
ter due discussion and that in the final
arrangement of differences between
the two Houses bill more acceptable
than either the original Wilson bill or
the Senate substitute may be adopted.
The delay of action in the Senate
Committee, when action was so impera.
lively necessary to put an end to busi-
ness arrangement, has so irritated the
country that there is now less care for
details than for movement. The ap.
plication to the Tariff bill of little of
the celerity of movement that has been
effected in handling the Bland Seig-
niorage bill would do wonders in re-
storing confidence in Democratic ad-
ministrative capacity and in improving
the hesitant and discouraging features
OF the Industrial situation.-Record.

The Ruling Passion.

He loved the winSome lass with q
love none the less ardent because she
was a clerk in a dry-goods store, and
he had met her there behind the coun-
ter when he had come in to make pur-
chases.
But she was no ordinary girl, and he
knew that if he won her as his own it
would be no easy conquest.
For weeks and weeks he had been to
see her, and for weeks he had hesitated
on the brink of Il proposal, which in
volved all his happiness
Yet the girl did not seem to realize
now near she was to him, nor that any
moment might precipitate the final
question.
However, these things cannot con-
tlnue forever, and one Sunday after
noon as they were walking his voice

New Use For The Telephone.
EronL Hnrperss Yonna People.

From Hdrper"s Young People.
Here's a story of the telephone as
it is used, or abused, in Russia. The
use Of the instrument to intimidate
prisoners is the invention of police
inspector al Odessa. A man was one
day brought into the police station,
charged with having committed a
serious robbery. The inspector had
some difficulty in proving the case, and
had recourse to an ingenious stratagem.
He went to the telephone in an adjold-
ing room, and asked the clerk at the.
central office to speak into the instru-
ment the following words, in solemn
tone, Istno Smelianski, you must con
fess the robbery; if you don't you are
to be sentenced, and your punish
ment will be all the more severe"
He then sent for TIE prisoner and
questioned him again, threatening to
appeal to the machine" to get at the
truth. The thief burst into laugh, but
the inspector held the telephone to his
ear and gave the preconcerted signal.
The result was as expected. The rogue,
terrified by the warning uttered by the
uncanny machine" at once made
clean breast OF it.
