At Sabbath Home.

Last Sunday was observed as
Childrep's Day at Sabbath Home.
The church was filled and many
were congr, gated in the yard. An
excellent program was rendered
under the management of Supt.
Lincoln Rice. The music was es-
pecially excellent. John Wad-
dill had charge of the choir; and
Miss Eve Hill presided at the or
gan. Prayer was offered by John
Edmonds, after which the open
ing address was delivered by Cal
vim Paine.
The church was beautifully
decorated with flowers and ever
green's.

The GRAPHIC regrets that the
lack of space prevents the publ

An exchange calls attention to
the fact that next year is the last
leap year for eight years. The
year 1900 will not be a leap year.
Every year is leap year that is
divisible by four, except those
ending in the two ciphers, which
must be divisible by 800; thus
1900 and 1000 are leap years, but
1900 and 1900 are not. julius
Caesar, in 46 B. c., reformed the
calendar by making three years of
465 days each follow one of 366
days; or, in short, every fourth
year was made a leap year. This
calculation gives an error of about
eleven minutes too much each
year, which has aggregated now
nearly twelve days. In order to
obviate this error Pope Gregory,
in 1882, declared October 5 to he
October Is, and made the rule that
thereafter century years not null
tiples of 400 should not be leap
years. The Gregorian calendar
has been adopted in all civ ilized
countries save Russia. This meth
cd of inter- calculation reconciles
with much accuracy the civil and
solar years. The latter contains
365 days, 5 hours, As minutes,
1862 seconds. By emitting three
leap years every 400 years it gives
the civil year an average duration
of 365 days, hours, 40 minutes,
IL seconds, which exceeds the true
solar year by 22.3S seconds,
amounting to a day in 1856 years,

POLITICAL POINTERS.

,Judson Harmon. of Ohio, to be
Attorney General in place of Mr..
Onley, who has been made Secre-
tary of State, is that Mr.. Harmon
is corporation lawyer. Mr.
Cleveland has made considerable
money as a corporation lawyer
himself, and he doubtless expects
to resume that occupation after
March ith, 1897, which accounts,
in a measure, for his partially for
corporation lawyers. 1t is under
stood that one of Mr.. Cleveland's
objects in taking Mr.. Harmon in
to the cabinet is the hope of placat-
ing Senator Brice, who has not
been friendly towards the admins
tration since the tariff fight in the
Senate.
The cuckoo democrats praise
the new appointments, but ex-
Representative Conn, of Indiana,
an anti Cleveland democrat, voiced
the opinion of many democrats
when he said of them: "Both ap-
pointments are characteristic of
the President. One is the pro-
motion of the most unpopular man
in the cabinet, and the other the
exaltation of a comparatively OBJ
scure attorney to one of the most
important Offices in the country.
1t goes without saying that there
will be no change in the conduct
of either the State Department or
the Attorney Generals office.
Possibly, in the absence of the
President, the individuality of Mr..
Olney may make itself manifest,
as did that of Secretary Gresham
in the Allianca affair, while the
President was duck hunting. But
it may be expected that trusts will
thrive and jongoes will howl with
out in the least disturbing the
complacency of the administration,
which, of course, distinctively
and exclusively means President
Cleveland.'' After all the person
ality of the cabinet means nothing,
as they are all merely clerks to
carry out Mr.. Cleveland's orders.
The big democrats are trying to
make the public realize that ex-
Secretary Whitney is playing his
cards. not as an assistant to Mr..
Cleveland, but as an independent
candidate for the democratic presi-
Dental nomination. Even Sena-
tor Smith, of New Jersey, who
was Senator Gorman'S lieutenant
in all the fights made upon the
administration policy during the
last session of Congress by the
German -Brice combination, seems
to be in the deal. AT any rate he
has taken occasion. while in Wash
ington, to state very positively
that Whitney was out for the nomi-
nation; also to give Whitney lot
of "taffy.'' Some people are of
the opinion that the prominent
anti Cleveland democrats are 60
ing to make use of Whitney to
beat Mr.. Cleveland at his own
game, and that having bound him
by promise, which he thought
he was perfectly safe in making,
to support Whitney's candidacy,
they are now going to work with
the idea of nominating Whitney
on the first ballot.

IS STILL IMPROVING
Gratifying Evidence Of Return
ing Prosperity in All
Lines of Trade.
MANUFACTURES IN DEMAND.
The General Decline of Prices
Makes Trade in VAL
ues Smaller.

New YORK, April 8.-R. G. Dun
81 Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Returns showing the condition Of re-
tail trade in March throughout the
country and the distribution Of goods Of
final comparison with the same month
in 1894 and 1898 give gratifying evil
dence that in most trades and dis.
tricts marked improvement over 1894 is
realized, though on the whole trade is
smaller than in 1898. Everywhere,
also, the occurrence of Easter in March
Last year, but in April this year is
found to account for much difference
in the volume of retail trade in quanti-
ties Of goods sold. 1t is, nevertheless.
larger than last year, but on the whole
smaller than in 1893, the main differ
ence in comparison with 1893 is found
in the
General Decline of Prices,
which makes trade in values smaller
even where it is clearly as large or
larger in quantity.
Accounts from the chief centers of
wholesale trade are also encouraging
this week. There is not only hopeful
spirit but real gain in business, though
not equally distributed geographically
or as to branches of trade. The best
news from the industries is that labor
troubles have been settled or avoided,
Mahoning iron and Eastern woollen
mills being again active. Next in i'm
portance is the better demand for manu-
factured articles, which gives greater
reason to hope that recent advances
from the bottom
May Prove Successful.

the Illinois Steel company has achieved
notable success in taking the contract
for steel plates for shipyards at New
port News. Eastern works gain more

REVISION OF THE CONSTITUTION
To Be One of the Topics Of
Importance-Some of the
, Changes.

ST. PAUL, April S.-The Dispatch
says: An event Of more than local sig
nifcance, and one to which all church
men" are looking forward to with great
interest is the general convention Of the
Protestant Episcopal church 81 the
United States, which will open in Min
neapolis on the first Wednesday in Oc-
tober, and continue for three weeks.
This convention is held once in three
years, and this is the first time it has
ever come as far west as this. Only
twice before has it come west Of the
Alleghenies, the last meeting being held
in Baltimore in 1892.
A Remarkable Convention.
The convention, Bishop Gilbert says,
will be remarkable not only on account
of it's numbers but OH account of the
representative character of those who
will attend it. There will be about rs
bishops in attendance, representing the
entire episcopate of the United States.
The presiding bishop is the bishop of
Connecticut, Bishop Williams, q man
now ~ years of age, of commanding
talents and a worldwide reputation.
Other prominent bishops will be Bish-
ops Potter of New York, Dome of
Albany, Cleveland Cox of Buffalo,
Lawrence of Massachusetts,, Whitaker
Of Pennsylvania, Dudley of Kentucky.
McLaren of Chicago, and Tuttle of St.
Louis.
Divided Into Two Bodies.
The general convention is divided
into two bodies-the house of bishops
and the house of clerical and lay dep
uties. Many Of these delegates are men
of national reputation. There are DR..
Huntington and Morgan Dix of New
York, McVickers of Philadelphia, DR..
Eccleston of Baltimore, and many 9th
ers equally well known. Among the
lay delegates there will be Chief Justice
Fuller, Judge Bancroft Davis Of Wash
ington, and Pierpont Morgan, the New
York banker. There will be between
400 and 500 regular delegates but many
others will be in attendance. The ses-
sions will be held in the Gethsemane
church
A Revised Constitution.
Among the questions which will be
considered at this meeting is the revi-
sion of the constitution of the church.
AT the last general meeting commit
tee was appointed to draft a revised
constitution, to be discussed at this next
conference. One proposed change looks
to the division of til, church into
provinces, grouping of a number of
dioceses under one provincial head
Another provision is that hereafter the
presiding bishop shall be known as
primus, and shall be elected by the
house of bishops, instead of being given
the position ly virtue of being senior
bishop.
New Missionary Bishops.
In addition to this revision of the
constitu ion a number of new mission
ary bi shops are to be elected. Besides
tn 8 general meeting there will be con-
ventions of several auxiliary societies,
such as the woman's auxiliary to the
board of bishops, which holds its ses
sions in Christ church in this city.
There will also be meeting of the
Sunday school institute. These two
societies will bring over thousand del
egates.
