REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE OF REV.
w. j CHAPLIN OF CHATHAM.
His Interesting Story of His Prostitution

His Interesting Story of His Prostitution
and Restoration to Health.
(From the State journal, Springfield, Ill)
In the pretty little village of C nathan,
Sangamon county, there lives Baptist
divine whose snow white hair is the one
outward sign that he has encroached up
on the days beyond the allotted three
score years and ten. His clear eye, keen
mental faculties and magnificent physique
all bear witness to life well and nobly
spent. This pioneer in Gods eternal
vineyard is Rev. w. j. Chaplin, whose 70
years are crowded with noble deeds in
the Christian ministry.
To State journal representative who
had occasion to ask him something of his
career in the ministry, Mr.. Chaplin talked
in peculiarly interesting strain. The
subject of his fine physique was preached
by his interviewer and with increasing
earnestness he said that, in spite of the
indications to the contrary, his life had
not all been sunshine and good health.
Gas my present appearance testifies, l
was fortunate in the possession of a very
vigorous constitution. In my earlier
years scarcely knew what it meant to
be sick, and / was almost perfect
stranger to any kind of medicine or tonic.
As is too often the case, overestimated
my physical resources, and when it was
too late learned that had overdrawn my
health account. The crisis came about
eighteen years ago. At the time l was
preaching the gospel from the pulpit, and
became suddenly so ill that l was COM

nearly all the time, and they do me
great deal of good in the way of toning

Swallowed u Town.

LOFTY, Penn, Sept. 5-Tbe little min
ing town OF Scotch Valley, near here, was
swallowed up tonigh. in one of the most
complete mine cave-lns ever known in
this region. The scene of The disaster on
the,sfope of Mount Lookout, and score
of houses comprise the hamlet at the
mouth of the shalt from Mount Lookout
colliery. The widest excitement prevails
through the region, and details are frag.
mentary, 1t is known, however, that the
dozen houses on each SIDE of the princi-
pal street of the hamlet are completely
swallowed up in The gaping hole. and
nothing can be seen of the other build
ines bur the roofs, gsoles and chimneys.
1t Is impossible to state accurately the
number of fatalities, or If there are any.
Parties are exerting every means to re-
lease the occupants of the engulfed dwell
Ings. One of the buried houses has taken
fire. The CAVERN was caused by the
giving way OF timbers and supports In
the workings of the Mount Lookout
colliery, which has not been in operation
for two years, and bad been neglected in
consequence.

A Race With Death,

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 4-Engi-
neef William Best, of the original rescu
ing passenger train on the Eastern MINI
esota, tells the following of the rescue at
Hinckley.
'Soon after leaving Superior, at :15
P. NJ, had to hight the headlights owing
to the dense smoke which TUNED day IN
to night. The heat, as we approached
Hinckley, Increased. / expected when we
reached that point we would get an open
ing and escape the smoke. My surprise
was great, therefore, when we found the
fire right upon the town. 1t took but
glance to see the town was doomed. The
wind blew with great velocity, and the
flames fairly leaped through the air. The
people, taken by surprise, were helpless.
The coming of the fire seemed like
stroke of lightning. Almost in an in
slant the town was swept by billows of
fame. We could not pass Hincklev, and
there waa no use to look for orders, for
communication was cut off. To stay and
rescue as many as we cold was our duty,
of course, but the great question, and
upon it hung the lives of many hundreds,
was, how long dare we waltz Ed Barry,
who was there with engine No. 90, and
A. d Campbell, the conductor, were as
plucky and brave fellows as ever passed
milepo!e. We hastily coupled a porc
tion of Campbeil's freight train with the
engine ahead onto the rear of our train
The people rushed toward our train and
plied into the cars. Some were aged and
helpless women and children, and had to
be helped aboard. We had to SHIFT the
position of the train several times to pre-
vent it Catching Ere. We were all
b eathlng fire as it was. We saw many
sights that would have filled us with
horror if seen under other circumstances,
but there was horror everywhere. We
saw people fall down overcome by heat
and smoke. ] saw mothers with their
babts make last despairing effort to
shelter their helpless charges. We saw
people surrounded by fire, but there is no
use trying 20 describe it to you. A few
of our passengers became panic stricken,
and wanted me TO pull out regardless OF
the others at Hiuckleg, but none of us
thought OF dong such a cowsrdly and
selfish act. We got about 400 people
from Hinckley aboard, may be more, and
slipped away to take the others who had
run up the track. We could not rescue
any more of the people, for they could
not get to the train. A very large per-
centage OF those that remained perished.
Away we went through the blazing
woods. 1t was race with death.
( The telegraph posts and ties were on
fire and stream of fame pressed upon
the train, The peQDlo were hacked so
closely it was impossible to move. We
passed several bridges that were ON Ere
A, Partridge We procured water for the
passengers. The people at Partridge
supposed they were safe. bat it appears
that within half an hour the fire reached
them, thus giving an idea how fast the
flames Travelled. We drew sigh of re-
lief when we reached the limits OF So

safe.n

Some of the leading papers in Cali.

cauae producers and shippers in that
state have suffered so much from the
Central and Southern Pacific compa-

the entire country than the one from
which the people of that state desire
to be relieved. 1t weuld be a step

upon which monarchies rest. Besides.

they would be better under the rule

A Terrible Ride.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Sept g. A loud
humping upon the door of freight car
on Reading railway sid' no at West
Falls station attracted tie attent,on of q
brakeman yesterday afternoon. He
opened the door, snd the gannt, enact
ateo figure OF man tumbled out upon
'ne tracks> He was SO weak that he
could not move, and could hardly speak
Inc MN said he was Theodore Marks,
tha' DE lived in Winchester, Va, and had
eytered the car at st. Louis, where he
had been at work. He lost his place in
that city, and desiring TO reach home and
having no funds, crawled In tine car
which was loaded with barrel slaves and
hoop poles on the Chicago, st. Louis Sc
Alton railway. He hid In the car for
two days before 1t was locked and started
on its way, he knew not whittier, taking
his chances OF reaching point nearer
home. He Travelled in the box car with
out drop of water or crumo of iood .
Two days after the start the train stopped
at some place which Marks thinks was
Pittsburg. He pounded and thumped
upon the sides of the car in an effort to
attract the attention of trainmen, but
they either failed TO hear him, or allowed
him to pound without paying attention.
When the train pulled out again his
THIRST drove HIM nearly wild, aud in his
desperate craving for food he gnawed
the tops of his shoes. Three davs more
and the tram stopped again. This time
be thinks at Bridgeport. He was so
weak and exhausted tnat his efforts to
draw attention to the car failed. The
train started off again with rush, aud
Marks abandoned hope, but he was
aroused into fresh activity by the stop
ping of the train again and the sound of
voices over him. He again beat against
the door of the car, apd when IL opened

lifted Marks up, and the other tram
men got him some milk. He drank it
with feverish eagerness, but his stomach
rebelled. The trainmen notified a police
man. who, summoning an ambulance,
had the starving man carried to the Phil
adelphia hospital. There it was reported
that Marks chances of recovery were not
good. His stomach rebelled against
taking nonrishmeRt, and he is so weak
that be cannot stand.

east of Rra,nerd and Little Falls, and
that section Is being watched snxiously
The Northern Pacific reports that along
the line from Little Falls to Cutting three
small stations have been burned. TIM
Der through that section IS on fire, and
fire is raging furiously north of Bralnerd
aud Little Falls. As the timber in that
section is much heavier than where the
fires ragged in the Pine county, railroad
officials say nothing can save the whole
country but very heavy rains.
Omaha has reports from Washburn that
the TRES have thus far been confined TO
the outskirts of the city, and only few
lumber mills and yards on the edge of the
town have been destroyed. A heavy wind
would quickly fan the flames and carry
them through the country and possibly
into the town. Train service On all the
lines between St. Paul and Duluth has
been restored except on the Eastern Min
nesota. The first train to arrive here from
Duluth left the head Of the lake Sunday
evening. The passengers reported the

EoUALlzINe CONDITIONS.

An esteemed cotemporary considers
the cause of the present hard times
the custom of doing business ip this
country ON borrowed money, and this
may be one of many reasons. But
there are other and more potent fac
tors to which the present business
stagnatlon can be traced. For the
past two years the country has been
preparing itself for change of econo-
mic policy from protection to free
trade, and this has caused decrease
in wages and shrinkage of values.
# our markets are to be opened to
the trade of the world we must meet
foreigners on level, and to do this
conditions must be equalized. The
same price for labor must prevail here
as in England, and business must
be done on equally small profits.
This is the natural result of the
change, and our people must be salts
fed. II is very doub if the same
conditions will ever exist again that
were in operation when Me- Harrison
left the White House. Experience
proves the statement that it is much
easier to lower the price of labor than
to in crease it, for, aflerit once comes
down the capital of the country is in
terested in keeping it ESQ. In 1896
undou btedly Republican president
and congress will bein power in WASH
1ngton; but protective legislation, to
bring matters to normal condition,
will have the wealth of the nation to
combat. Every employer will be in
terested in paying his employees as
little as possible, and will undergo
hard struggle before he succumbs to-the
demand for higher wages. It is much
easier to slide down an inclined plane,
than to ascend it. We are sliding
down, and it will be fortunate if we
,an stop xilhout descending further.
It will be almost impossible to ascend.

with those OF foreign manufacture.
The levelling system is not the most
advisab BILE for advancement or the de-
velonment of the industries of new
ountry.
The fury of .tbe forest fires is about
spent in the forests of Minnesota and
Wisconsin, and they have reaped
rich harvest. Death and desolatlon
now reign supreme where peace and
plenty gladdened the heart OF the
laborer and made life blissful and con-
tented few days ago. Such are the
emergencies of existence, and while
one cannot but deplore such occur
renees by no possible foresight can
thev be aeerted. In Oregon the peo-
nle have been very fortunate in being
free from any disastrous catastrophe;
but the elements Of fire and water are
no respecter of persons, and, under the
same circumstances, would combine
with death and devastation here as
elsewhere. In our good fortune we
should heartily sympathize with others
in their misfortune, and in every case
extend the helping hand OF charity
when required.
There is room yet for missionary
work among the inhabitants of the
world, as there are very many not yet
civilized: The following are the latest
published figures. The human family
living on earth today consists of about
,45O, 100000 persons in round mum
bers. Of these only about 500, 600, 600
or one-third, are even properly clo-
thed; $50, ,OOO,O 900 habitually 60 naked;
zoo, 100000 have only the middle of
their body covered; only 500, 1000
live in houses, 7OO,O0O,000 in huts or
caves, while the remaining $50, 600. 600
have no home. or shelter whatever
The two-thirds who are not properly
clothed may be contented and happy.
and the 25O,OOO,OO0 who habitually
90 naked may do so for the sake of
comfort. If such are the facts, phllo-
sophicaly considered, it is a waste of
effort to attempt to better their
condition. Numerically calculated, it
is unpopular to "dress up" and live in
houses and, therefore, if numbers count
for anything, the minority, in order to
be fashionable, should return to a
primative state,
