tons, anything is possible.
Perseverance includes patience and
should have in It's reach prudence and
Judgment, along with courage, and q
high degree of hopetulness. and with
such q com binstion and full conscious
ness of rectitude defeat is we'll nigh i'm
possible. There may be apparent fail
ure, but at each recoil new sources of
energy are aroused and new springs OF
strength received until opposition is
worn out and victory achieved 1t is
this quality OF perseverance that has
made the Anglo.Saxon race the foremost
one upon the earth to day. 1t made the
War Of the Revolution last seven years.
and 1t gives to the United States the
prominence they now hold among the
nations of the earth. 1t is the perse-
verance or the staying qualities of the
American people, their indomi table
pluck and tenscity OF purpose that
makes them successful In war and pro-
gressive in peace.
1t has cleared away forests, watered
deserts, driven back Indians, and made
nearly one-hslf of the North American
continent the abode of civilization and
progress. In the aggregate 1t Is the
co hesiveness and invincibility OF o
people. To the individual it gives hope
In periods Of dependency, and II makes
men do and dare when further effort
would seem impossible. 1t has'ts en-
bodiment in the spider that weaves its
web again and again, no matter how
often IL may be destroyed, and, prop
erly interpreted, 1t becomes hope and
an inspiration to human effort. Moth
ing great or permanent is sttainable
without labor, and the enjoyment Of
success Is proportional to the difficulty
OF It's attainment. Evil has continually
warred with good, but right will finally
prevail.
The religion which has brought hope
to the world and happiness to mankind
became reality through the sufferings
and death of the Son OF God, who died
that men might live. In the lesson
taught by this great sacrifice the value
OF patience, hope, faith and charity Is
fully set forth, and those who expect to
reap the final reward for well-sp
lives know that the peace and happiness
Of Paradise are attainable only to those
who persevere in the course OF right
eousness therein laid down unto the
end.

Oity.
NEW YORK, July 13.-The first cy-
clone in many years struck New York
this afternoon and resulted fatally in
one instance besides wrecking q large
amount of valuable property. The cy-
clone descended upon the part OF east
New York known as Cypress Hills, at
4:30 o'clock and continued on its way to
the lower plains district, and from there
travelled to. Woodhaven. One life was
lost AMI the damage to property was
great. A number of people were badly
hurt.
The cloud was first seen going over
Cypress Hills Cemetery. 1t was funnel
shaped and hung very low to the ground.
At the upper end was q red spot that
appeared more like an incandesoent

CONOILIATING JAPAN.

Russia, after bullying Japan into the
abandonment of her territorial scheme
in Manchuria, is now using all the
arts of diplomacy to conciliate the In,
dignation of the people OF the island
empire. 1t ia now said that there are
strong reasons for believing that the
government at st. Petersburg has in
structed Its representative in Toxic to
address himself>to the tsst Of sllaying
the irritation caused by the recent
Russian demonstration, and to discuss
plans for restoring cordial relations be-
tween the two countries.
Russia is said to be willing to explain
In friendly sense the objections to
Japanese expansion on the continent,
and to give assurances that she will not
oppose the growth Of the island empire
in other directions, but will. on the
contrary, regard such growth with salts.
faction. Japan Is requested to believe
that the interests Of her powerful neigh
Dor would be materially served by the
consolidation OF Japanese strength in
the Pacific, and that If guarantees can
be given that no interference will be
attempted in Russia'a projects for the
development OF Siberia. an alliance may
be formed on terms mutually beneficial.
This proposal. semi-off1cially conveyed,
has occupied the attep ton of the Jap
anese ministers of state for several
weeks pest.
The Japanese rulers are too shrewd
not to make the most of the proposed
negotiations, but the wound inflicted on
her pride as growing power by Russia,
France and Germany will not be easily
forgiven. 1t is evident that up to this
time England aud the United States
stand in much greater favor with that
power than the countries above mon
toned. AS to China the United States
is probably regarded with greater friend.

Large and Enthusiasts Meeting

BLUEFIELD, w. Va, July 13.-The
miners held the largest and most en-.
thusiastic meeting today at Mill Creek,
W. Va, since the strike began. Presi-
dent Mcbride, OF Columbus, Ohio, ad-
dressed the meeting. Lswless also
made speech in which he advised the
men to hold out for scales and giving
the operators round of abuse. The
meeting WAS peaceful. The United

a COAL COMBINE.

The latest in the monopoly line is the
Alabama coal pool, and that It's effects
may be widely extended there is some
reason to believe. The coal operators
OF the Birmingham district, who control
seven-eighths of the output south OF
Richmond, have completed the forma-
ton Of com bipstion for the regulation
of prices and the maintenance OF uni
form system Of securing contracts.
For several years the companies have
been selling coal at ruinous rates on
account.of sharp competition in securing
contracts, and the railroads have been
forced to give very low figures by the
necessity the operators were under to
force the different lines to bid against
one another. The combine has been
formed to obviate this.
The organization will be similar in
purpose and effect to the Southern
Passenger Association and will have q
commissioner, with headquarters at
Birmingham, to keep tally on the con.
tracts and prices each company secures.
The Tennessee Coal and Iron and Sloss
Iron and S5eel Companies and all the
other big operators are in the combine,
and agents were sent to Atlanta to meet
Tennessee and Kentucky operators and
get them into the pool. The purpose is
to form gigantic Southern coal trust
embracing all companies tn OF Rich.
