OF nine roads running from the seaboard
to the West. He asserts that tbe agree.
ment is a trust and plainly contrary to
law. He vigorously attacks Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Knapp for a
statement that the matter was not one
OF which the commission could take cog
nlzance and says he should be removed.
His letter to the president closes by say
ing that word from him to Pierpont
Morgan would cause the whole conspira-
cy to stop.

FROM THE LAND OF EGYPT

New York, Oct. 20.-Professor Henry
Preserved Smith. formerly professor of
Arabic at Lane Theological seminary in
Cincinnati, arrived on La Champagne
this evening.
DR.. Smith, who was accompanied by
his wife and two children, has been in
Egypt for several months studying the
dead languages. He was three years ago
convicted of heresy by the Ohio presby-
terry and appealed his case to the general
synod. This was prior to the trial for
heresy of Rev. Dr. Briggs of Union sem
mary, this city.

THE PRESENT DROJTTH

Washington, Oct. 20.-Reports received
at the weather bureau indicate that the
present drouth is one of the severest
and most prolonged and generally known
in the United States since the bureaus
orga nization. There are few places
which show an exception to the gen.
eral condition, but in no large section
of the country, except, perhaps, in the
Northwest and far West, does there ap-
pear to have been a soaking rain for the
past two months or more.
Where there has been exceptional pre-
cipitation it has been confined to small
areas. In some parts of the country
the drouth began in the latter part of
July, but in most of the sections it did
not become markedly pronounced until
August. The entire Atlantic coast, with
some exceptions, as Charleston and Au-
gusta, shows deficiency below the nor
NAL rainfall since the LIST of August,
amounting in some instances to almost
half of the precipitation. The Ohio
and Mississippi valleys report similar con-
ditions, as does q part of the Pacific
coast. The great lake region upon the
whole has Jared better than other sec
tons of the country east of the Missis-
sippi. In some parts of the Rocky
mountain region, as in Colorado, Wyo-
ming, Utah and Nevada, there have been
excessive rainfalls during this period,
and along the Pacific coast from Apia
to San Francisco there were good rains
in September, as there have been since
then in that section. Further east, Fort
Scott, Kas., Indianapolis and st. Paul,
Mimi, are the centers of districts where
the drOuth was broken in September.
There have been good rains also in parts
of Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kan
sas.
ulho o,oo+oe+ oon,nlo;ntc oon,o from,
West Virginia, Kentucky and Western
Pennsylvania. Fortunately in some of
the countries the drouth did not set in
until after the principal crops were ma
tured, consequently the damage has not
been so great as it would have been if
it had begun earlier. In some places
it has had slight effect on the plant
ing of winter wheat, and complaints
come from many quarters in consequence
of scarcity of water for domestic and
stock purposes. Pastures have been in
jured in many States. 1t is also notice
able that there has been an increase of
typhoid fever over the normal in many
sections where the drouth is severe. The
official figures for the entire country COW
ering the period from March 1 to Octo-
Der IA, show deficiency. At Washing
ton, about fifth of the normal; Norfolk
about sixth; Wilmington, N. c., be-
tween q nttn ana Il IOurln, JdChSonNilie,
Fla, almost fourth; Yicksburg, Miss,
about two-sevents; Galveston, about
two-ffths; Knoxville, Tenn, almost a
fourth; Louisville, more than a fourth
Cincinnati, more than two-ffths.
The falling off in the upper Mississippi
4 valley and Rocky mountain States was
less marked. The cities which show an
excessive rainfall for the entire season

COOL AND REFRESHING.

But the Early Rising Drug Store Clerk
Did Not Seem to Appreciate 1t.
The night clerk in Buffalo drug
store was awakened about o'clock the
other morning by two prosperous-loOk
ing strangers who took seats in front
of the soda fountain. The clerk sleepily
advanced to take their orders, whichS
been for 15-cent drinks at least.
Can you lend us two glasses of water
and couple of spoons?" blandly asked
one of the visitors.
The clerks mind was not working
very clearly and he Obeyed.
Then one of the strangers took from
his pocket box of lemonade capsules!
which contain citric acid in powdered
form and one of which is supposed to
hold the ingredients for one glass Of
lemonade. He gravely poured the con-
tents of two capsules into the glasses.
they were stirred with the spoons and
the contents slowly absorbed.
The clerk was wide awake by this
time Wont you have some sugar to
sweeten your lemonade WITH" he
asked, with an attempt at sarcasm.
mo, thank you," replied one of the
pair. I'VE carry our own beverages
with us mainly for the reason that drug
store drinks are usually too sweet to
be wholesome"
The strangers had got a block away
from the store before the clerk was
able to get his profanity cells in work.

A phr... Older rh.. History.

The celebrated Metternich used the
phrase, AFTER me. the deluge." as i'm
plying that after him no statesman
would be able to preserve the peace
Of Europe. But the celebrated mot
was not original with him. as Nine.
Pompadour. mistress Of Louis Nv,
who died nine years before Meter
mich was born. was quoted as saying,
"Apres nous lie deluge." and the
willy diplomatist only changed it to
..Apres moi" The idea did not orig
mate with her. quick witted though
she was. Cicero ascribes 1t to a Ro-
man emperor. and Milton supplies the
name: "They practice that when they
fall. they may fall in general ruin,
Just as cruel Tiberius would wish;
When I die. let the earth be rolled In
flames - Reasons Of Church Gov
ernment." book l.. chapter 3. page 81.
1t was older, however. than Tiberius,
and is a very ancient Greek proverb.
too old for any discovery of its author.
Tertullian ascribes it to DemostheneS,
but it turns out only to have been
used by him as common proverh.
familiar to the public even In his day.

The so-Called Natural Singer.

The question as to whether or not
people can become good singers nature
ally, by which is meant, without pro-
fessional instruction, Is one often
raised, writes Frederic Peakes, There
are undoubtedly, instances Of persons
OF natural genius learning to sing, that
is, to produce the singing voice proper
ly. to vocalize perfectly, and to sing
with that most artistic essence, good
style, from imitation Of others and by
their own energies and practice. But
these cases are unusual. The average
-so-called-singer is less
pleasing as a performer than his
trained fellow, and he is never an artist.
To be artistic in accomplishment
should be the goal for which every
