FATHER BOUTLOU PREACHED
To n Largo Congregation at tho Cathcdra
Last Evening.

To largo Congregation at tho Cathctl raj
Last Evening.
Rev. Father Boutlou. of Moundsville.
preached the Lenten sermon last night
at the Cathedral. The usual largo audi
ence gathered to hear him. He opened
his discourse with the parable OF the
prodigal son and described in pathetic
way the feelings OF the father in the
parable. Then he took up the disposi-
tons OF the repentant child, and this
led him into the feelings OF repentant
sinner. lie took up especially the re-
solve not to commit sin which is nec-
essary requirement for repentance.
This reiolre, as the speaker explained,
must be internal. universal for super
natural motive and effiicacious. That
is. it must como from the heart; It must
be resolve not to commit any sin what
soever; the resolve must spring from
faith. Natural reasons for avoiding sinful
actions are good but Christian should
have higher motive. Then it must DO
efficacious. that is firm determination.
Means must DO used TO acquire the end.
Sinners can be divided into different
classes as the reverend father OK planned,
Some are habitual sinners; some arc re-
lapslng ones. He then explained what
habit is and how it is acquired by our
frequent acts, and is lost by tho csssa-
ton OF those acts. He took for an ex-
ample many ordinary habits. Then he
explained how habits are lost BY con-
trary acts, as, for example, person
speaking tongue different from his
mother one, soon loses his facility in tho
latter. God has instilcd this quality OF
acquiring habits for our own good and
not for our harm, and so We arc obliged
to get good habits. Ono addicted to n
bad habit the reverend speaker called
an habitual sinner. Tho habit takes
deep root and is hard to eradicate. 1t
may be the work OF years to destroy.
TO this class l would recommend"

recommendations and hero no grew worry

THE MANITOBA I.EnEnr.Ioy.

A Wheeling Man Who Served In tho niel
Nobsiiion Talks About tho Country.
Tho proacnt situation OF Affairs in
Manitoba has boon mado fairly familiar
to tho public through tho newspapers.
The last former trouble In that Cana.
dian province, whom Louis Riol. a half
brood. led n revolt, is remembered by
all readers Of tho newspapers Of 1885,
whom tho "lliol rebellion" occurred.
There Is In Wheeling a gentleman who
saw most OF that war and was In II to u
largo extent. rE
Mr.. ". A. Wiluon, Of Dun's com.
morcial Agency. sorvod against Ricl'a

who servo IA constabulary all over tho
country, wOro sent against him. Thoy
did good service, but tho rebellion got
beyond their power to cope with.
Finally tho militia wore ordered out,
aud thoy whipped tho rcbols.
Yesterday Mr.. Wilson told on IL.

dis experience In that war. lilo said tho
|'FrOnch inhabitants had always had a
dream OF regaining dominion over Can.

He had great influence over tho hall.

Ho was first imprisoned and after.
wards hanged.
Tho militia left Winnipeg by railroad,
and went 10 the point nearest to tho
sceno OF war thoy could thus reach.
Tho first real war was at Batosh, which
Rel fortified. From tho railroad TO
this place tho mon had to march thirty.
five miles on foot and then 20 cou.
siderable way by steamboat. on the Sas.
katchewan river. Tho difficulty OF the
service will DO seen when it ia recalled
that Manitoba reaches from tho pro.
vince OF Ontario to British Columbia,

Whom the militia reached Kingston
in that engagement they found anow
eight to ten fset dccp on the ground.
The north shore OF Lake Superior was
covered with Ice so that they could
march on it. But whom thoy reached q
point in tho interior. no farther south,
they found the farmers blowing.
The country has few largo towns, Mr..
Wilson says. Tho only industry, prac-
tically. is farming, and largely wheat
growing. Along the line OF railroad
there arc many settlements, but back
from 1t the population is sparse.
Tho present trouble differs from all
former ones in the fact that the people
who seem to be about to oppose the
government arc professionals and Eng
lish.speaking people. Heretofore all
troubles have mainly come from French
Catholics. The present trouble is tho
outcome OF an effort on the part OF the
Canadian government TO have the Man.
itoba parliament pass law restoring to
Catholic schools the right to share the
public school funds. Said Mr.. Wilson:
THE feeling between the two re.
ligions runs high those, and if there Ia
not 4 terrible religious war there some
day l shall be greatly surprised"

How INTEREST Runs tP.-ln Oc-
tober, 1854, George r. Walker, Of San
Francisco, gave promissoly note TO
William Hood. for $3.50, payable in
six months, and bearing 3 per cent. a
month interest, the agreement being
that the interest was to be computed
monthly and added to the principal
until the whole was paid. No interest
was ever paid on the note, and before
its maturity Walker went to Mexico to
live. A few months ago he returned
to San Francisco, and Hood brought
suit against him to recover Oh the note.
On computing the interest it was found
that, added to the principal, it amount
ed to the enormous sum of 100000
and default judgment was rendered
for that amount.-SanF Francisco .Ex-

the sight, and Merrick, with one amazed
and frightened look at his captain,
faced about and skunk silently away.
To him Armitage paid no further atten'
tion. 1t was to the officer he addressed
himself:
"Mr. Jerrold, I have heard pretty
much all this conversation. 1t simply
adds to the evil report with which you
have managed to surround yourself.
Step into your quarters. I must see
you alone. "
Jerrold hesitated. He was thunder
struck by the sudden appearance Of the
captain, whom he had believed to be
hundreds of miles away. He connected
his return unerringly with the web of
trouble which had been weaving about
him of late. He conceived himself to
have been most unjustly spied upon
and suspected and was full Of re-
sentiment at the conduct of Captain
Chester. But Chester was an old
granny, who sometimes made blum
ders and had to back down. 1t was
a different thing when Armitage took
hold. Jerrold looked sulkily into the
clear, stern, blue eyes a moment, and
the first impulse of rebellion wilted.
He gave one irresolute glance around
the quadrangle, then motioned with his
hand to the open door. Something of
the old, jaunty, creole lightness Of man
ner reasserted itself.
"After you, captain" he said.

too, appeared all alone, walking rapldly
and nervously. Armitage watched him
and could not but see how other men
turned away or gave him the coolest
possible nod as he passed. The tall,
slender lieutenant was handsomer even
than when he last saw him, and yet
there were gloom and worry OH the dark
beauty of his face. Nearer and nearer
he came and had passed the quarters of
the other officers and was almost at the
door of his own when Armitage saw q
little, wiry soldier in full dress uniform
:unning across the parade as though in
pursuit. He recognized Merrick, one Of
the scapegraces of his company, and
wondered why he should be chasing
after his temporary commander. Just
as Jerrold was turning under the piazza
the soldier seemed to make himself
heard, and the lieutenant, with an
angry frown on his face, stopped and
confronted him.
"I told you not to come to me again, y
lie said, so loud that every word was
audible to the captain standing by the
open window above. "What do you
mean, sir, by following me in this
way?"
The reply was inaudible. Armitage
could see the little soldier standing IN
the respectful position of attention, ="
ooking up and evidently pleading.
81 won't do it until I'm ready" was
again heard in Jerrold's angry tones,
though this time the lieutenant glanced
about, as though to see if others were
within earshot. There We no one ap-
parently, and he grew more confident.
you've been drinking again today,
Merrick. You're not sober now, and l
won't give you money to get maudlin
and go to blabbing secrets. No, sirl Go
back to your quarters and stay there"
The little soldier must indeed have
been drinking, as the lieutenant de-
clared Armitage saw that he hesitat-
ed, instead of obeying at once, and that
his flushed face was angrily working,
then that he was arguing with his su-
perior and talking louder. This was
contrary to all the captains ideas Of
proper discipline, even though he was
indignant at the officer for permitting
himself to be placed in so false and un-
dignifed position Jerrold's words,
too, had acquired wide significance,
but they were feeble as compared with
the sudden outburst that came from the
soldiers lips:
"By God, lieutenant, you bribed me
to silence to cover your tracks, and then
you refuse to pay. If you don't want
me to tell what I know, the sooner you
pay that money the better"
This was more than Armitage could
stand He went down stairs three at a
Jump and out through the colonel's
garden with quick, impetuous steps.
Jerrold's furious face turned ashen at
