AMONG the representations as to the
political situation in Great Britain and
the result of the overthrow of the Lib
eral party, the following is offered: The
Unionists probably will give ireland an
extended system of local government
similar to that given to England in 1887.
They will pass land bill offering ten.
ants a chance to become the purchasers
of their farms on good terms, and will
try to detach the electors in the poorer
parts of the country from home rule by
large grants Of public money for the de.
velopment of local industries. This pol
icy of palliatives, however, has been
tried repeatedly by Tory governments.
with the invariable experience that
while the Irishmen take all they can get
they apparently stick to the national
idea more firmly than ever. 1t is now
stated that the question of bimetallism
was carefully eliminated from the Union
lists program or promises. The subject
was never mentioned by any prominent
man on either side.

The alleged interview with United
States Ambassador Eustis published by
the Paris Figaro is still attracting at
tention. London Saturday Review says
of it that it showed braggadocio first;
then confidence. and then total forgetful-
ness. Whether it was the bourbon or

evidently it was too strong for the

death of Rev. Alonzo A. Miner, DID,,
LII. D., their honored and venerable
President. DIR. Miner was one OF the
original promoters of the Publishing
House, and its President since 1868. His
wise counsel and interested service have
always been most freely given to secure
it's success and permanent welfare, as he
fully believed in it's necessity and bene-
fetal work for the Universalist Church.
His place cannot be readily filled, but
his great influence must be lasting upon
the work and growth of the Institution.
The Trustees personally have lost
beloved and respected friend, noble,
manly. and Christian brother.
Their affectionate sympathy is extend
ed to his widow and relatives.
DIRECTORS REPORT.
The Directors then presented their re-
port of which the following is an alb
stract:
BOSTON. June %, 1895.
To the Trustees of the UniversaRst Pub
sshtng House:
The Directors herewith present the
thirty second annual report:
We have with great sorrow to report
the death of our revered and honored
President, Rev. Alonzo Ames Miner, D.
D.. LID, which event occurred June
IA, 1895. We do not comment at length,
in this report, on our loss, leaving it for
the Board of Trustees, by suitable &C
ton, to put on record their testimonial
of regard and affection.
The business of the House for the
past year does not show any special i'm
provement over that of the previous
year. The amount of business has been
SCI, 716.15-against s63 600 81 in 1893 and
1894.
While an analysis of the business
shows that it is not financially profita-
BILE in all departments, we feel that, re-
membering the continued depression of
general business during the year, there
need be no uneasiness as to the future
of the House.
We believe, however, that the time
has come to consider some decided
changes in the policy of the House.
While we do not bring any special re-
forms to your notice we suggest the de-
STABILITY of certain changes and improve
ments in our papers, and also the ques-
ton of eliminating the miscellaneous
book business from our work, and the
combining of our efforts to our own pub
locations.
The report of the General Agent, here
with submitted, gives you the result of
the years work, as regards our periodi-
Gals and other publications. For the
general financial condition of the House
reference is made to the Treasurer's re-
port.
Respectfully submitted for the Direc-
tors,

over the disappearance of Martinez
Campos.

ANOTHER marine disaster has to be
recorded this week. On Sunday, July
81, the italian steamers Ortegia and
Maria P collided at the entrance of the
Gulf of Genoa. The Maria P sank and
148 persons were drowned. The lost
vessel was bound from Naples to La
Plata. There was a crew Of IL and the
passengers numbered 173. She was
calling en- route to her destination. She
was entering the gulf at 1:30 in the
morning when she met the Ortegia out
bound. They noticed each other only
when a collision was inevitable. The
bow of the Ortegia crashed into the star
board side of the Maria P, penetrating
six yards, and ripping up the Maria P
in through the hole and the Maria P
sank in three minutes. The majority Of
the passengers we're asleep at the time
OF the accident, and had no time to es.
cape after the alarm was given. They
were engulfed with the vessel. The
Ortegia remained on the spot in order
to pick up the survivors. She rescued
fourteen of the crew and twenty eight
of the passengers of the Maria P. The
Ortegia's bow was smashed for a space
of twelve feet along the water line.
There is some comment upon the fact,
brought to mind by the disaster, that
the Ortegia once collided on the same
spot with the French steamer Oncle
Joseph.

How n Cako of Ice Is Made to Serve in
That Capacity.
Riding down hill on cake of ice
would not seem to us very amusing,
except, perhaps, to the spectators, who
might enjoy 1t as n sort of frozen tub
race. AS n matter of fact, though, a
cake of ice in the hands of Russian
boy will make very good and rapid
sled. He saws out block that is long
err than it Is thick, and about high
enough for n comfortable seat. Then
he scoops out a hollow like saddle a
little back Of the middle of the upper
surface, and upholstcrs it with straw
or rags. 1t is then ready for its first
trip down hill, and IL the rider is skill
full he will make very good time on it,
But carrying it bacl: to the top of tho
incline would be too hard work for
even Russian boy, and pushing 1t up
hill would be about as bad. A clever
lad once thought of better way, and
all other boys have copied him ever
since. He found good rye straw, and
began Blowing through it at the front
OF the bloch with the end of the straw
close &C TIC ice. Soon he had little
hole in the block, as neatly drilled as
a steel tool could have done it. In the
course OF an hour and half he had
driven hole slantwise through the
ice, coming out at the top just in front
of the saddle. A stout string passed
through the hole and lnotted COM
pletcd his sled, which could then be
drawn up hill almost rs easily rs the
best coaster that ever WINS made. II a
boy Is careful Of his ice sled-and he is
apt to be careful, for considerable work
Is necessary to make one-it will last
all winter. Imagine him freezing on a
new set OF runners when the old ones
have worn out!-IIarpcr's Young Peo

-Arithmetical notation by the nine
digits and zero was used in Hindoo-
stan in the sixth century.
Ex-senator Davis has given a good
gift to West Virginia, or proposes to do
so, in donation of $50, 900 toward the
establishment of an industrial school
for girls at Elkins.
According to Librarian Hosmer of
Minneapolis the public library of that
city at the present rate of increase
will within short time be second, or
first, in the United States in the num-
Der of books circulated.
-Three-fourths of the population of
India are Hindoos; one.fifth Moham-
medans; about two and half per cent.
are Buddhists, while Christians have
only about eight-tenths of one per cent.
of the population. On the other hand,
while the Hindoos and Mohammedans
have increased only ten and seven
tenths per cent, the Christians have
increased twenty-five and sixteen
hundredths per cent.-a much more in
crease than the rate of population.
-Des Moines Qa.) college is having
an exceptionally prosperous year.
There are enrolled in the college prop
or eighty-one, in the academy eighty
four, and in the department of music
forty -six. The total enrolment up to
date is one hundred and eighty-three.
This is the largest attendance the in
stitution has ever had. The new stu
dents come from four other colleges,
four normal colleges, and twenty-one
high schools and academies. In the
entire enrolment there are represen-
tatives of thirty-four different high
schools, seven normal schools, seven
colleges and nine different states.

the newspaper vendors who throng
about the entrance to the BROOKLYN
bridge is sweet-faced, soberly-clad
Salvation Army lassie, selling the War
Cry. She seems to be n permanent addi-
ton. too, for she has been there every
day now, on the same corner of the
steps, for some time. Her low call
of "War Cry" is almost drowned among
the vigorous ''WuXtra, h'yar Wuxtre"
of the energetic boys, but her poke
bonnet with it's red ribbon makes her
conspicuous and attracts good deal of
attention to her If not to her wares.
She does not seem to do rushing bust
ness. The boys seem to have accepted
her in fraternal spirit.
"A dispatch from Tacoma, WASH,

will arrive about that time. They are

come with his bride, and Satan will be

years. Heaven will hang in mid-air
all that time. They have seen hell,

STRANGER AT THE DOOR.
Weary waggles Saved from Starvation by
Interrupting u Hymn.


Having run the gamut of social gos.
sip, theatrical chat, and political
prophecy the women at Mrs. So-and-
Sos tea party out in Lake View fell in
readily with suggestion that they
turn their minds and voices to things
religious and sing hymns. One after
another the rich melodies were reeled
off, each singer suggesting in turn n
favorite for rendition. There Is
Green Hill Far Away" followed Hold
the Fort" and then came abide with
Me-" This put the women in an exalt-
ed frame of mind and they sang
Nearer, My God, to Thee" When the
last strains of the old hymn had died
away a young woman with blue eyes,
whose turn it was to select song,
said
'Weil, let's sing There Is Stranger
at the Door"
Knock, knock, knock! Thumpty
thump! went a heavy fist on the outer
portal.
The women, alarmed at the vehe.
mence of the summons, paid no heed
to it. Nor did they sing about the
stranger ut the door. Who could he
be? o! for man to answer that sturdy
thumper N
Whacls! whack! whack! went the
fist again.
Mrs So-and-So pulled herself to.
gether and timidly opened the door.
There stood a Weary Waggles.
~ herd the singin', num-" he began,

in yer heart toward poor Teller whut

And when Weary departed that hos
pitable house his weight was just four
pounds more than when his bony fist
thwacling at the door interrupted the
hymn that saved him from starvation.

a BROKEN HEART.

A little china nguro
On little bracket sat.
His little feet were always crossed.
He wore little hat.
And ev'ry morning. fair or foul.
In shine or shadows dim.
A pretty little housemaid came
And softly busted him
She took him up 30 gently.
And with such q charming air
His china soul was melted quito.
And loved her TO despair.
All day no sat and thought of her.
Until tho twilight came.
And In his china dreams ut night
He brcathed her littio name.
One Jay. whilst being busted.
In his Joy he tremblcd so.
To feel her little fingers, that.
Alas. she let him go.
In vain she tried TO grab him back.
Fate willod It they should part;
He fell against the fender edge
And broke his little heart
She gathered up his fragments.
Ana she told little lie.
Expounding 70 her mistress how
Tho cat had made him die
And on the following morning. when
The shutters back she thrust.
She spoke his little epitaph:
There's one thing less to dust"
