OHIO SILVER DEMOCRATS
To Make Fight for the White Metal, .il
 Spite of Declaration

To Make Fight for the White Metal, in
 Spite of Declaration.
 Columbus, O., Sept. 29.-The silver dem- ocrats of Ohio will conduct fight for the white metal during the state campaign in spite of the declaration of the state convention for the single gold standard. There was a conference of prominent free silver men in the party at the office of Allan w. Thurman here yesterday. at which this course was determined upon. Among those present at the con ference were l.. F.. Holden. editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer; Gen. F. B. Fin ley of Bucyris. Judge E. J. Blandin of Cleveland, J. A. Norton of Tiffin, Col. w. A. Taylor of Columbus and l.. A. Russell of Cleveland. It was decided to organize for work in accordance with the plans adopted at the conference of the friends of free silver held at Washington re- gently, and to this end a state central committee consisting of one member from each congressional district was se lected. This committee will meet here on October and elect an executive commit tee to conduct the free silver campaign. The free silver advocates explain that they do not propose to oppose the demo- cratic state ticket, but their proposed action will necessarily embarrass the managers of the democratic state cam pagn to some extent.

TIRE SECRETARY SUSTAINED.
MT Herbert's Rebuke of Admiral Kirklan
 Approved by the President.


 Approved by the President
 Washington Sept. 29.-Secretary Her bert's reprimand of Admiral Kirkland. commanding the European squadron, it is understood has been approved by Pres idenpt Cleveland and the incident is thereby possibly closed. Admiral Kirk land is an old personal friend of the eX- ecutive of France, and when M. Faure was elected to the presidency of that re- public the former wrote him congratu- latory letter signed in his official capac- ity When knowledge of this fact trans pired exception was taken to it by the navy department and Secretary Herbert called for an explanation. Admiral Kirk land made no effort to conceal the author ship of the letter, and a reprimand was administered by the secretary From this the officer appealed 10 the president.
 It Is said that the president. in letter to the admiral transmitted through the secretary, went further than merely up holding the course of the secretary and informed Admiral Kirkland in his. off cal capacity as commander of the Euro bean squadron he had no right to write a. communication to the president of France Icongratulating him upon his

Two Torpedo Boats Lei Ont,

Washington. Sept 29.--Sacretae Her bert has awarded the contract for build ing one of the new torpedo boats to Mo- ran Bros. of Seattle, Wash. at their bii of $160, 000
 This boat is the last to be constructed under recent act of congress which provides for three seagoing torpedo boats, one to be built on the Mississippi river, one on the Atlantic coast and one on the Pacific coast. As no bid was re- ceived from ship builders on the Missls- sippi the other two will be built by the Herreshoffs, and will have to be com pleted within twelve months after the contract Is formally entered into
 Moran Bros original proposal was $l64 000 but this amount was more than congress authorized the secretary to spend. The navy department was alsd doubtful of the ability of the firm to do the work successfully, and an engineef was sent from Mare Island, Cal, to in. spect their plant. His report being ia. vorable, Secretary Herbert informed the firm that he would accept their amended bid of S160,0 900.

The Crew and Passengers Were Taken Of
 in Safety.
 Eureka, Cal, Sept. 29.-The steamer Humboldt is on the rocks off Point Gorda and is total wreck. A. II. Buhne and Purser Laird, who got ashore in a small boat yesterday afternoon, have reached the city. The passengers were all taken safely to shore in life boats yesterday aft ernoon. The mail was not taken off, but in all probability the life saving crew will do so when tug arrives on the scene. The Humboldt is lying about 1000 yards from land with her stern pointing In shoreward and Is breaking up fast
 Several years ago the steamer Arago ran the Humboldt down near Point Reyes and came near sinking her. Some time afterwards she lost her rudder on the bar and was four days in reaching San Francisco. She was valued at $60 900 when new, and carried a valuable cargo on her last trip. She was insured for $30.- 900.

President Cleveland and Seo- retary Herbert were both of the opinion that the extension of congratulations to a successful candidate might be taken as felicitaton over the defeat of his op- ponent and the latter, taking umbrage at the course pursued by our naval rep resentatiVe, might embroil Us in compli- cation with the government of France.
 Rear Admiral Kirkland did not refuse to furnish the department with copy of his letter to M. Faure, but sor far it has not been received This evening Secretary Herbert positively declined to discuss the matter

Housekeepers Want the Best Food.

Housekeepers Want the Best Food. What Scientists say:
 Prof. Arnold of the University of New York: 1T consider that each and every ingredient of oleomargarine but ter or butterine is perfectly pure and wholesome, that the oleomargarine butter differs in no essential manner from the butter made from cream. It is great discovery, blessing for the poor, in every way perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article.
 Silver Churn Butterine is prepared especially for fine table use. Every de- tail of its manufacture is perfect. Re- cent chemical experiments show that in nutritive and digestive properties Silver Churn Butterine is fully equal to the best creamery butter; while in keeping quality Silver Churn Butterine is much superior.

Church of the Advent.

The rector Rev. pr. Thomas j. Beard. preached at the morning service from Hebrews 1, IA: Are they not all minis4 tering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
 He said This is the feast of St. Mich ael and all angels and is a superior day. God selected angels as mediators for men. He might have saved the world without the angels, but he took the seed of Abraham instead to work out the re- dempt'on of man. '
 The invisible thing is greater than the visible created thing. The spiritual is greater than the physical, and the mind in searching out truth must admit that it is largely matter of faith. Knowl- edge of God comes by faith. purely intellectual being cannot find ont Cod
 This is illustrated by your faith in a friend You believe in his personality.

You have faith in his honor, although you cannot see him.
 A great effort is made on the part of rationalism and materialism to show that In the main the Bible is true they eliminate certain portions. There is no doubt the Bible existed when Christ was on earth as now. I believe the Bible. Some say they believe the Bible, but they don't believe the sun stood still. They will read certain parts and leave out other parts.
 God selected the angels as intermedia- tors fer man that they might have some thing to do and enjoy some of the glory of mans redemption. I don't know what would be the consequence with angelic influence stricken from your past life. The angels were sent forth to minister to man. but you must look to God for sal vation. Give thanks to God for the an gels and for the faithfulnass of man. Oh that we had more faith to go to the Father for protection.

yN STORM ON LAKE MICHIGAN.
Navigation Impeded and Perilous Sea fol
 Small Craft.

St. Joseph, Mich, Sept. 29-The storm which has ragged here since last Saturday morning has a yet abated but little. No steamers have left here since Friday night and much fruit is now lying on the docks awaiting portation. The steamer Puritan, probably to make record, left Chicago this morning in the face of a gale, arriving three miles off this port at Il o'clock She was rolling and pounding very badly and could only be seen a portion of the time. The waves were rolling over the piers and she could not enter and started off on the Milwau- kee route.
 The schooners were reported this aft elnoon as being ashore between here and South Haven. The wind has whipped the remaining fruit off the trees, blowing several small houses down. and has torn shade trees up by the roots besides dam aging telegra phic communication.
 Early this morning a freight train on the Chicago and West Michigan railroad was stuck in the sand that had been blown on the track during the night. Gangs of shovelers were put to work and cleared it after several hours work.
 Reports from Muskegon say that one of the worst lake gales has been raging there for twenty-four hours and waves have rolled higher than for many years, submerging whaves and doing much damage. The steamers of the Goodrich line did not leave port last night owing to the roughness of the lake.
 Today the lake has been in an angry mood and no small craft could weather the sea. Several boats are sheltered here waiting for the lake to calm down.
 At Holland a fifty mile an hour north wester ragged last night The sea is roll ing over the piers. The Holland-Chcago transporta ton boats off there were or dered to remain in port last night.

The life crew res- cued nine of the men on the Kershaw and made desperate efforts to rescue the four men who were in yawl. which was tied to the wreck of the Kershaw but the life boat was swamped and the crew had to swim ashore. After securing new boat and some new men they again made the attempt and rescued the men after they had almost frozen. having been in the yawl five hours. The Kershaw is broken in two and is pounding to pieces. She will be a total wreck. The Moonlight and Kent are resting safely on the sand beach and all on board are safe.
