Again, the angels of God are ready. A
great many Christians think that the talk
about angels is fanciful. You say it is a
very good subject for theological students
who have just begun to SermOniZe; but for
older men it is improper There is no more
proof in that Bible that there is a God than
that there are angels. Why, do not they
swarm about Jacobs ladder? Are we not
told that they conducted Lazarus upward?
That they stand before the throne, their
faces covered up with their wing, while
they cry: Holy, holy is the Lord God AL
mighty!''
Did not David see thousands and thou
sands? Did not one angel Stay 1S5,G0O men IN

London County Council Petitioned to Enact
Beneficial Measures.
LONDON, Nov, S.-As result OF the
recent investigation into the sanitary
condition of the bakehouses of London,
prominent citizens have submitted to
the London county council a petition
asking for number of amendments to
the public health act as relates to bak
ing blishments The resolutions
suggest that uniform metropolitan
laws regulating bakeries be made by
the London council, and that the duty
of enforcing said laws devolve upon the
various local sanitary authorities; that
such laws shall govern the regulation OF
the conduct Of the business the struc-
ture of the premises, and the mode in
which application is to be made for
sanction to establish new bakeries in
the city Of London; that it be rendered
an offense to occupy as a bakehouse
any cellar or place almost or altogether
below the level of the street; that all
metropolitan bakehouses be regularly
licensed and that the granting of the
licenses be vested in the London county
council. 1t is thought that the adop-
ton of these measures would prove of
untold benefit to the community,
especially among the poorer classes.

Important Discoveries Made by American
Explorers Near Ancient Babylon.
WASHINGTON, d. G., Nov. 9.--The
human race is nearly ten centuries
older than science had knowledge of
before this, as result of the extensive
explorations of the ruins of Niffer, near
ancient Babylon, as described in a
report to the State Department by
Minister Terrell at Constantinople.
These explorations are being made at
the expense of Philadelphians, and
DIR. Peters and Professor Hilpricht, of
the University of Pennsylvania, have
supervised the work. Many tons of
tables, vases, inscribed brick, sar
eophagi and the like have been e1ss
humed, the sensual and revolving wor
ship of the God Bel is more clearly
known, his colossal temple with its $50
rooms has been exposed and the relig-
ion, government, and customs of men
who lived 1000 years before Christ
have been revealed by the translated
inscriptions. Minister Terrell says
that it will require sixty volumes to
contain the descriptions of these mar
yelous discoveries.

Departing Audience of the Broadway The

of the Wonderful Art of Photography.
Mr.. lockwood, the well-known pho
tographer, has conceived and successfully
carried out new departure in his art,
which seems to be defiance of all previous
pilot ographic conditions. As good pictures
cen now be made at midnight as in the
blaze of the monday sun. A photograph
of the audience of the Broadway Theatre
was recently taken between eleven and
twelve O'Clock at night as they were leav-
ing the building. The means for accom-
plishing this result is a new pyrotechnic
compound which Mr.. lockwood has just
introduced. The possibilities of the morn
ing papers publishing IN picture form the
events of the preceding day and night are
now manifest Mr.. lockwood prophesled
this some years ago, and now sees his
dreams accomplished. With the resources
of this new art, it will be well for the young
man about town to be sure that he goes TO
the theatre with his own girl instead of
some other fellows sweetheart.

that Field Marshal Yamagata has cap

PITTsBURG, Nov. 9.The Baltimore
& Ohio limited, coming west ran into
the first section Of No. Ga, fast cattle
train, at Rosensteel siding, two miles
east of lockwood. Six men were kill
ed in the collision and several others
badly hurt. Both trains were going at
the rate of forty miles an hour and
came together while rounding curve.
Neither crew had time to jump or
sound warning. The proper place
of meeting for them is at Pine Grove,
four or five miles east of the place of
collision, where the passenger should
have taken siding for the freight.
For some reason the passenger train
passed the siding. The mail car was
reduced to kindling wood. Only the
heavy vestibules of the passenger cars
saved them from similar fate. Fully
dozen cattle cars were piled up in the
the wreck, killing and manning many
dumb brutes.

WHIPPED HER DREssMAkER.
An Exasperated Customers Patience
Worn Out--Justificd In Court.


A case was recently tried in jus
tees court in Pittsburg which, If es-
tablished as precedent, will lead to
notable reform. One woman en-
ployed another to make dress for
her, and in spite of repeated calls
and constant protestations that she
had nothing to wear that did not
make her look like perfect fright,
the dressmaker continued to delay the
manufacture of the gown with that
superior scorn SO many of the class
affect. The customer at last grew
desperate and in moment of frenzied
anger sailed into the dressmaker
and punished her physically in a hair
pulling, face scratching, hysterical,
womanly way. The assailant was
arrested and tried before justice,
who promptly dismissed the action.
The possibility that other courts may
follow similar course in similar cases
awakens glad tune in the heart.
When a woman can take out of her
dressmaker or man out of his tailor

vexation and disappointment incident
upon the everlas ting delay in finish.

surely be getting close to its place in
