THE ELDERS PRAYER.
1t Was Out of tho Regular Order, but
Proved Enicacious.

" 49, ooS va N'fO 'NNSoiAf OfucEt Jul
Proved Enicacious.
The Rev. II. D. Fisher could not
resist tho temptation to tell q story Oh
n brother minister:
"1t was Presiding Elder Still Of tho
Methodist church. The good old man
is dead now, and it can't do any harm
to tell this story of him.
1.-THE early travelling of the elder in
Kansas was not easy. He had mule
on which he used to ride, and this mule
was not always ohedient. One day the
elder and his mule encountered a swol-
len stream Along the edge Of the
stream the elder and his mule strayed
i'll hope of finding safe crossing.
Finally tho elder found tree that over
hung the stream, and from which he
believed he could swing to the other
side. But the mule couldn't swing.
He could swim, however, which the
elder couldn't.
- All tho extra clothing and tho Bible
were made into bundle and tied on
the mules back and the animal led to
the water. He swan safely across and
began eating grass on tho other side.
''The elder looked at the swinging
limb, and dropping to his knees, prayed
fcrvently that he might make no mis-
take III getting across. Then he swung
out and landed safely.
HE lnelt and thanked the Lord.
But there was q new obstacle. The
mule was having good time in the
grass and refused to DO caught again.
Several we'll directed efforts flew wide
Of the mark, and the good elder was in
desperation. He must keep his appoint
ment and he couldn't walk it, There
was but one thing for the elder to do,
and the elder did it. Down in the
damp grass he dropped on his knees
and prayed the Lord to help him catch
| the mule.
"This is the only instance I ever
heard of i'll which man called on the
Lord to help him catch a mule, and &c
his dying day the elder firmly believed
the Lord did it, though it took their
both some time. Topeka Journal. ~

WHAT is ELECTRICITY?
Some Of the Numerous Theories on tho
Mysterious Current.


Well, what is it? 1t is scarcely pos
sible to say. There are theories-many
of them. 1t is evidently something Of
which we cannot take a part we can
not cut piece of it off and subject it to
analysis, nor can we pour little of it
into bottle for future study and con-
temptation. 1t is like the wind-its
effects can be measured, its force,
strength and quantity can now be cal
eulated to very nice degree. Still, to
hken it to tho wind, it is stupendous
power, q mighty typhoon, blowing, as
it were, without moving, two ways at
once along all parts Of its path, giving
off halo of magnetism ut right angles
to that path everywhere.
One of the incest theories, perhaps, is
the one that considers electricity con
dition" of atoms, brought about by
chemical action, as i'll battery cell, or
by what might be called severe irrita-
ton Of the magnetic halo, as in Il dyna-
mo, and by other means, such as heat
and friction.
What this condition is is beyond us
it may be violent rotation, or it may
be an equally violent vibration of
atoms Probably the are light would
prove it to be a vibration. But as no
man has seen an atom at any time, not
even with the most powerful micro
scope, it is impossible to say. Friction
in some form or other is present, as
heat is produced before burning, or de-
Gtru3tiGsi. takes place EXCHANGE.

buttoned them to the bottom at his

THE LOST CHlCORA
Voice From the Deep that Throws Some
 Light Upon the Disaster.

BENTON HARBoR, Mich, April 15.-J. II. Graham, president of the Graham Ss Morton line, received a message at D. m. yesterday from Saugatucl1 sent by Mrs. Hancock, wife of the purser of the City of Chicago, saying that bottle was picked up on the beach at Glennis pier yesterday morning containing note signed by Robert Mcclure, engi- neer of the Chicora, which read as fol- lows:
 Capt. Stines and Mir. Clark washed overheard Engine is broken and we are all lost Are near enough to land to see the shore if it were not snow ing"
 The bottle was sent here by express, and examination will show the genu- ineness of the message-Mr. Graham thinks it worthy of belief. If so, it goes far to prove the statement of the man Plum mer, of South Haven, who said he saw the Chicora near that port on the afternoon of January 21, and will show that the Chicora was only lost by the breaking of machinery or the loss of her steerage gear. The hull in that case is near the shore and search will be begun 1t once

DAME FASHIONS DEGREES.

BEADED galloon is used to edge the reverse and collars of velvet waists.
 VALENCIENNEs lace Is coming into popularity, and blouse waists made of 1t are worn over white silk underbodices
 PIONEERED organdies are very popu- lar, and some of the new blouses made of them are trimmed with very wide soft lace.
 IT Is said that sleeves in shirt waists are to be larger, but this is improbable, as by this means the shirt waist would be robbed of Its distinctive character istic.
 A QUANTITY of very small tuclSs made by hand may be seen among the novel, ties. Fine null, organdie and linen lawn waists made up with these little tucl1s are to be worn. TIE fancy for colored underwear continues, and exquisite sets are made of batiste and nainsool1 in very light tints. The trimmings are either edgings or embroidery.
 EMBROIDERED hosiery Is popular, the instep and ankle showing extremely pretty designs, all very small and done in silk. There are also openworlS and lace-woven hose in abundance.

A BIG UPRISING

Expected In the Province of Puerto Prfn-

 with Eleven Thousand Men-The Outlook
 Said to be Very Bright for Cuban Suo-

 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 15.-A special from Tampa says: News from Cuba is to the effect that there is a big uprising in the province of Puerto Principe, that all the laborers, sugar field hands and sympathizers are in arms and that battle is at hand that will probably decide the fate of Cuba. The uprising in Puerto Principe is general and will seriously affect re- suits. Maeeo is on the island hasten ing to the front with II, 900 men.

 letter was received here from Ha- vana to-day saying that a Spanish off cer riding on a train with some ladies began to take liberties with them. On the same car was duelist by the name of Mendieta, who, when he saw what was being done, drew his revolver and killed the officer. He then left the train.
 Manuel Sanguilly arrived from Cuba last evening. He is the brother of Julio Sanguilly, now confined in Gas Moro, charged with treason.
 He says that the report of Gomez's death is not true. The Spanish gov ernment, he says, is coneiliatory in spirit, but the Cubans do not meet any advances for peace under Spanish domination.
 Yellow fever is raging in Havana and particularly among the unae- climated Spanish troops. The infantry are most afflicted.
 Secretary Quesada is now in New York, but what his mission is or what are his intentions are not known to Figuerado, leader of the Cuban patriots in this section. There is something important expected to happen here to- day.

TO THE LOWEST BIDDER.
Contracts for Building sea-GoIng Torpedo
 Boats.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Secretary Herbert late yesterday afternoon changed his mind and awarded the contract for building all three of the sea-going torpedo boats to the Colum- bian iron works of Baltimore, Md, awarding none to San Francisco as was at first intended.
 The boats will be of about 13s tons displacement, and will have a speed Of about twenty-four knots. The yes sells, exclusive of atmament, will cost S97, 800 apiece. The Columbian worhs were the lowest bidders.
 The secretary also decided that the torpedo boats authorized by the last naval appropriation bill shall 6z larger and faster than those eontraefE5 for. With this end in view, he rected Chief Constructor IIirschbor prepare plans for vessels of 1S6 displacement, to have a speed of f seven knots.

 HOUSE.
 The last day Of the general assembly opened quietly yesterday morning. but there was con siderable nervousness among the members for fear apparently Of another clash on The bribery question. only once, h weyer was it referred to during tho day and that was when Mir. Brown. oi Prairie, arose to 9 ques tiun Of prlvi- lcge He stated that he did not suppose any one thought for an instant that either he or Mr Tancey accepted the Sf0) from MT Cox with the intention of keeping it, but he desired 10 state that he lad delivered the money to Mir Wm. s. Mitchell, of the Arkansas Demo crat, on Mir. Coxs written order, for preseata- ton to the q Jians' home Of this city That organization had refused to accept the money, and 1t had thereupon been given to the officers Of the united charities.
 The Atlanta exposition appropriation bill was the first business to come up.
 A long debate ensued, the opposition putting forth every eXertion to defeat the bill To Mir South was delegated the task Of defending Inc measure bg it's friends and right nobiy did he execute the trust His speech was probably the strongest most eloquent and most direct that has been made in the house this session, and he WAS loudly applauded as he closed.
 The roll was called and resuied-ayes 46 noes 2s, which being less than a two. thirds vote, the bill was declared defeated.
 Later, however, MT. Speaker stated that there was reasonable doubt to the bil. making an appropriation from the treasury he did not carC to take il upon himself to Cie- clare that a two-third's vote was necessary and would, therefore. reverse his ruling and declare the bill passed If there was any doubt fl could b. settled in the courts. Tho decision was received with cheers and shouts.
 Following is the vote In detail:
