fie will have TO explain how It happened
| that within sixty or seventy years after
the crocifxion. Christian churches built
avowedly upon the doctrines Of Christ's
resurrection were found In all parts of
the Roman empire; and he will have to
explain how It came about that before tho
close Of the third Christian century the
whole Roman empire was, at least pro.
fessedly Christian. He will have to ex-
plain how tho choicest spirits and the
most cultivated intellects In Christendom
have not only believed but glorified in tho
resurrection OF Christ, which he-Mr.
Hopkins TO be a delusion.
Tho truth Is that the fact OF Christ's
crucifixion is no more certain than is the
fact of His resurrection. The testimony
In the one case Is quite as strong and
quite as well authenticated as In the other.
II the Christian church be a historical in
stitation, traceabie back to the time of
Christ, then there Is no escape from the
conclusion that the resurrection OF Christ
Is historical fact. 1t Is. indeed, stu
pendous miracle. but the divine Christ Is
capable Of performing It, and Christians
Will continue TO worship Him as the Won
derful, the Counselor. the Mighty God,
the Everlasting Father ana the Prince of
Peace.

President Harrlson's administration was

istration. The latest bond issue Of Presl-
dent Cleveland Of $63,OOO,OOO was made In
secret with the great financiers of Europe,
through their agents In the United States.
1t was made out Of the sight of the public;
made upon terms which were harsh and
humiliating to the great government Of the
United States; made at lower price than

self into this hole by it's own desperate
endeavor5 to get something that it should
rot get and by refusing or neglecting to
pave the way for the betterment that 1t
must have seen was Inevitable there will
be little inclination on the part of the peo-
pie to waste any sentiment upon 1t. 1t was
characteristic of the road that at the very
time that the directors were. applying for
and obtaining from the District Commits
s'oners a permit to change the motive
power from overhead trolley to a magnetic
system, they were seeking to put through
Congress in an undermined manner pro-
vision extending the trolley one more year.
They got the permit in February, and sci
eltiflc opinion expressed at the time was
to the effect that the new plant could be
established within ninety days Had the
least measure of diligence and enterprise
been exercised the road would today be
running under the new system and all
this trouble about the poles would be
averted. But the people are not to be
fooled by the pretense that the road is
unfortunate. Its misfortune lies in its
miserable persistence in clinging to the al
ready Anticipated trolley while a new and
better system Of propulsion is demanded
by law and public sentiment.

1t Is not at all surprising that the pre-
liminary reports which the government
agents at Boring Sea have sent to the
Treasury show that the seal herd Is much
smaller this season than ever before. The
cause is said to be indiscriminate pelaglc
sealing In which the proportion of seal
skins secured to creatures slaughtered is
said to be less than one in ten. This
frightful waste is of course telling upon the
herd. and unless 1t can be stopped by some
rigid and effectual International regula-
lions that will be made in sincerity and
enforced in honesty. the day will soon
come when the seals will entirely disappear
from the seas and the world will be de-
prived of one of it's most profitable indus

One week from today the life of the
trolley poles on New York avenue expires
by law. After that day it will be illegal
for the lexington and Soldiers Home Rail-
way Company to operate ats cars within
the city limits by overhead electric power
and the question will come: What will the
company do? In a certain sense the COM
pany is the guardian of it's own affairs,
and can do whatever it may please, so
long as 1t keeps within the letter of the
law, though 1t seldom gets very far away
from 1t the right side, as a matter of
fact. That Is one way of looking at
great corpoI alton. but the better point of
view Is to regard 1t as a servant, not a
master Of the people. 1t has been granted
O valuable franchise without giving in re-
turn any consideration. except the promise
to afford the travelling public adequate
means Of transportation. A situation now
arises that forces the company to choose
between two courses: to give the best SER
vice that 1t can under the law and in view
Of its financial resources, while waiting for
Congressional authority to issue bonds for
O new construction fund, or to go out of
business. Were the present .embarrass-
ment" one that the public has created. or
that has resulted from any natural causes.

There being no material on the ground
with which to work, there was absolutely
nothing done today on the new city post

entirely favorable to satisfactory speed in
construction. but the delays wrought by
some of the iron jobbers-delays which
should be costly If the penalty clauses in

1t has been several seasons since the
cheerful cry of the hockey pokey man has
been heard in the streets Of Washington
and during the past three summers this
CONCEALED product has been largely sup
planted by other favorites among the
youngsters of the city. The decline of
hockey pokey should meet with the ap-
prevail Of all parents, for facts are now
coming to light about the manufacture
of hockey pokey that would be discouraging
IL 1t were now the staple article of local mid
summer commerce that it used to be. 1t
has gained in New York quite as much
popularity as 1t used to have here and
several deaths among children that have
been traced directly to the consumption
of hockey pokey have led to an investiga-
tion into the ways and means of its pro-
duction and show that it is liable to be
under certain circumstances a dangerous
poison. 1t seems that the Italians who
mostly handle this article make regular
nocturnal rounds among the hotels and res
taurants Of the metropolis and gather the
leftover ice cream. scrapings from saucers
and freezers and all possible quantities of
this stuff that they can get cheapiy. 1t is
then carried in a melting state to their
miserable homes and there, in the midst of
the foul air that fills the tenements
It is refrozen into the hard, COM
pact slabs that retail for five cents
apiece and in some cases for less. 1t Is
a known fact that ice cream that has once
melted soon turns sour and in that con-
dition Is liable to produce a highly poison
Gus substance that is frequently fatal in
its results. Nine-tenths of the material
from which the hockey pokey is made is
melted to an almost liquid state before it
is finally refrozen and it is probably safe
to assume that considerable proportion
Of the stuff goes to the youthful consumer

Praise from the English.


Here's praise from an unexpected
source, An English periodical says:
'The American cuisine undoubted-
ly surpasses our own in tastiness
and variety. Before every meal blue
points are served on crushed ice.
To every person at table are placed
six or seven little finger-shaped
white china dishes containing dis
tracing BONES bouches, such as
olives, pistachio nuts, crisped wal
nuts, auchovies, dressed tomatoes,
gherkins, etc. AS you talk you
nibble pleasantries between the
courses. The American women
drink much less wine than we do at
meals, though they are not above
calling aloud for whisky cocktails at
promiscuous hours of the day. The
service at table is simply exquisite.
Such dainty china! Such fowers!
and oh! the roses. Why do they
have so much longer, greener stems
than our own and smell so far more
potently sweetp"
