DIE BEFORE TAKING OFFICE.

Five Members Of the Fifty-fourth
Congress Claimed by the Reaper.
The Fifty-fourth Congress ia but a few
days more than four months old, and
only seven months have elapsed since
the election Of it's members, and yet theirs
have been seven casualties in the ranks
of the House of Representatives chosen
last November, five by death and two by
resignation. Those who have died In.
clude, besides Representative Frederick
Remain, whose funeral occurred Wed.
nesday in the Eighth Illinois District, the
following:
Myron B. Wright (Rep.) Of the FIT.
teenth Pennsylvania District. Nov. Is,
1904; James H.. Codding elected to fill
the vacancy.
Philip s. Post (Rep.) Of the Tenth iii.
nois District, Jan. 9, 1895; place will be
filled by George w. Prince.
Andrew j. Campbell (Rep.) of tho
Tenth New York District, Dec. 6, 1894.
William Cogswell (Rep.), Sixth Massa.
chusctts, May %.
Mr.. Campbell was elected in Gen. Dan
Sickles' old district in New York, and his
successor is likely to be a Democrat. In
the other two cases there is no change
expected in the political bias of the new
representatives.

pied by w. 3. McNurrich, @. c.. Of the
Joint Local Committee. Appropriate adj
dresses of welcome were delivered by the
Lieutenant Governor, Mayor Kennedy,
and the Rev. DR.. Thomas, after which tho
President of the congress and several
other noted delegates made suitable re-
plies.
The Rev. DR.. Samuel G. Smith. Presi.
dent of the congress-, returning thanks for
the generous welcome rendered them, re-
ferred in graceful terms to the way in
which the British and American flags
were intertwined in the decorations, and
amid applause expressed his hope that not
until the crack of doom would the two be
rent asunder. The Rev. Father Ryan Of
Toronto delivered a short and able speech.
Archbishop Walsh had commissioned him
to express his welcome and tender the
hospitality Of st. Michaels' palace to the
delegates.
Mrs. Charles Henrotin, of Chicago.
President of the Federation Of Women's
Clubs Of America, her addressed the
meeting. Rabbi Elias spoke on behalf
of the Jewish delegates. The Rev. DR..
III. w. Bennett, Akron, Ohio, spoke brief.

ford, a native of Jerusalem, closed the
speaking. At the evening session C. G.
Bonney was the first speaker, his topic
being '"The New Movement for the Unity
and Peace of the World"

spoke for the Young Peoples Society of
Baltimore; and response on behalf of the
board Of managers Of the international
union and the delegates was made by Rev.
DR.. A. @. Dixon, of Brooklyn. The latter
laid special stress upon the fact that this
was the first time that Mexico had sent
delegates to the convention, and gave an
especial greeting to those from the prov
inces of Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba.
A rousing reception was given to the
indefatigable general secretary, DR.. Frank
l.. Williams, when he took the platform
for the purpose Of reading the general re-
port Of the general managers, and after
this document had been disposed Of with
out discussion two brief addresses were
delivered, one upon culture for service,
BY Rev. DR.. Wallace, of Toronto, and the
other upon the Junior Society as b hope
of the movement, by Rev. DIR. X. ID.
Grant, of Portland, Oregon.
The afternoon session was prefaced by
q praise service led by Rev. L. B. Thomas,
of Colorado Springs, and the convention
resolved itself into an open parliament
at which systematic and proportionate
giving was discussed by a number Of
speakers.
A feature Of the great gathering was the
attendance Of nearly 600 young Baptist
wheelmen from New York and Philadel-
phia, who rode from those cities to Balti-
more on their wheels. Nearly 1900
more wheelmen came from Virginia,
West Virginia, and points In Maryland.

all that Is left of the splendid, aggressive,
jubiiating. disciplined and formidable
host of voters that followed the grand old
man time and again to victory. 1t disap-
peared when he abandoned its leadership.
So fur as this country 10 concerned. none
Of its interests will be affected by the tri.
umph or defeat of either party in Great
Britain. Irish-American sympathixers
with the cause of home rule will regret ito
probable permanent defeat. But there 10
no ground to suppose that any different
future would have been before Ireland
had the liberal party won. Home rule
had been virtually buried as a party issue.
The few questions at issue between the
United States and Great Britain will not
cause serious controversy and will b
peacefully settled. There is no threaten.
ing question to cause a~nxicty-nothins
that will not be adjusted by quiet diplo

Southern small boy is capable OF much.
A writer in the New York Home jour-
nal says that upon her arrival In q
Southern town her cabman was q small
boy. aged about 8. The cab had two
seats, and the boy told her that II, dur
ing her stay, she wanted q carriage,
she could get him any time by inquir>

lapsing into boyishness, he added: ''You
see. this used to be our carriage. But
papa died, and mamma isn't strong
and there isn't much money-and-"
Something certainly filled the boys
throat, for his voice broke. and. hastily
becoming a cabman again, he tighten

Of the whip. But after a little he add
ed:

Texan Gets Ice from the SKI

ACA0t1 0CV0 ~ A1OHAh VA1O 0AZs
A remarkable successful plan Of OBJ.
tanning artificial Ice has been invented
by a ingenious farmer of Ell Paso, Tex
as. Even In the hottest summer day
this son of the soil will partly 1ll u
tin can with water, attach it to the tail
of an enormou kite, and send it to the
great height Of three miles, where In
the rarefied atmosphere 1t is promptly
frozen, completely filling the can. After
a sufficient interval for this purpose the
kite is rapidly hauled in with . wind
lass, and the cake of ice removed from
the can. But the inventor is now per-
fecting an even more effective plan for
manufacturing IN q large scale. He
sends up q huge kite, $50 feet long, by
a steel wire cable. Under the kite IL
suspended q pulley, over which runs an
endless chain, bearing at intervals
hooks by which the cam Of water are
hung. AS the ans Of water going up
just balance the cans Of Ice coming
down but little power IL needed. The
cans are filed with water from q poud.
As each hook passes the operator he re-
moves the a Of ice and hangs In itD
stead one Of water. The cable travels
but three miles an hour, and, as the big
kite is kept at an altitude of from four
to six miles, the cans remain In the
cold strata of air quite long enough for
the water to become solidified. The
inventor expects to be able to furnish q
10-cent lump for 3 cents.-New York
Recorder.

Notable Religious Gathering in 70.
ronto-Objects of the Meeting.
Religion and education. the supreme
forces of moral and intellectual progress,
were the themes discussed before the
Pan-American Congress of Religion and
Education, which assembled at Toronto.
This congress may be considered as the
legitimate fruitage of the great parlia.
ment of religions of 1893, which set in
motion and gave powerful impetus to
those forces which make for unity among
the people of the earth. The object of the
Pan-Anerican congress is to bring all
who are interested in the spread of the
true gospel into a closer association, one
with another, and into sympathetic rela-
tionship in all the great educational,
philanthropic and reform movements Of
modern Christianity.
The inaugural session of the congress
opened at the Horticultural Pavilion in
the presence of several thousand citizens
and delegates. On the platform, which
was handsomely decorated, sat Lieut..
Gov. Kirkpatrick. the Rev. S. G. Smith
of St. Paul, President of the congress;
Mayor Kennedy, and many other dis
tinguished persons. The chair wns occu.

The Pittsburg Gazette announced an
increase in the wages of several thou
sand mechanics and laborers employed
in the great iron and steel works at
Bethlehem, in this State This is u Of
the protected industries, and If our in
formation is correct the increase Is un-
der the Wilson tariff law.-Pittsburg
Post QDem.).
Oh, then, protective tariff taxes do
increase wages, do they? We have al
ways been under the impression that
u Democratic friends held that free
trade was necessary to benefit the wage
workers, and that a protective tariff
only made "the rich richer and the poor
poorer"
1t is, by the way, a notable fact that
the Industries that are reyiving from
the depression. and in which the wage
workers are enjoying an increase Of
paw. are those affected by the portions
of the so-called Wilson bill in which the
policy Of protection was recognized, In
violation of the Democratic platform
declaration that protection is a fraud
and unconstitutional" These were, In
some cases, the features of the Wilson
bill included in the Senate compromise
bill, which Mr.. Wilson didn't want to
accept, and on which the free traders
said the war had only begun.-Wheel-

LIBERALS WIPED OUT.

Sustained Crushing Defeats In Recent
British Elections.
At the close Of the polls throughout
Great Britain Wednesday the returns
showed that 4OS members, out of q total
Of $50, had been elected. The results SO
far are decisive, and all that shall oct
hereafter will merely enlarge the propo.
tons Of the liberal defeat. OF the mem
bers already chosen 296 are tories and
"unionists." Only 112 members Of all
ahades of the opposition have been elected.
OF this number but 70 are regular liberals
Of the Gladstone school. This 10 not a
mere revolution. The liberal party IL
wiped out. 1t is not possible that out Of
the 240 or $50 members yet to be elected
that party will secur enough to make .
formidable opposition to any measure
which the tory government may propose.

Ill factions will have ut least half a.

A Lively Little Joke, but Il Cost Hin
HE Baggage.
steamship passengers frequently re-
sort to practical jokes TO relieve the
monotony of voyages" said . retired
sea captain yesterday. ''and while the
pranks, rs a rule, are perfectly harm
less they sometimes have q boomerang
effect. Three years ago we were cross
ing the Atlantic and both the owners
and myself were exceedingly anxious
to make a speedy trip as q rival liner
had the week before lowered the record
held by our company. On the third
day out, just about dusk, the cry Of
Man overboard"5 rang through the
ship, and a hurried investigation elicit
ed the Information that several of the
passengers had heard a splash, follow
ed by piteous appeals of Help, help
save met The engines were stopped,
and the steamer put about, a close
watch being kept meanwhile for the
drowning man. A half hour was spent
in cruising about without results and
we started OF II journey under the
belief that the poor fellow had gone to
the bottom. The inquiry that followed
proved puzzling. No one was missing,
and we came to the conclusion that q
stowaway had committed suicide.
"The next day, hewever, nm explana-
ton came. We had q ventriloquist
aboard, in the person Of a very smart
young man, who was too tickled over
the success Of his joke to keep the Sc
cret.
"Then the laugh was on him. As he
had caused a serious delay and much
annoyance l notified him that I had
made an official entry Of the circum-
stance on my log and the loss Of time.
and that on approaching shore I would
detain him until a sufficient guarantee
had been put up that he would answer
in court to reply to a demand for 1nan-
cial restitution. I talked Of $4,000
being about the penalty under the Gov
eminent mail contract, and 1t Is need
less to say he spent the balance Of the
voyage on tenter hooks. He disap-
peared before we locked, leaving his
baggage behind.'-San Francisco Post.

Baptist. In Raltimore.

Baptists in Baltimore.
On the heels Of the great gathering of
Christian Endeavorers at Boston, and al
most before their peans of praise had
'eased to echo through the land, came the
assembling in Baltimore Of the hosts Of
he Baptist Young Peoples Union of
America. 1t IA the fifth international
convention of the organization, and the
10000 delegates, who brought with them
nearly as many Of their kindred, came
from every section of every State in the
Union, as well as from Canada and from
Mexico. Owing to the fact that Balti-
more has no hall large enough to accomn
