SUNDAY MEDITATION

Sent, % is for review. No lesson is appointed
A profitable study may be the explanation of
the various names which have been given to
the Bible Each such name has its history aud
its special meaning. The names let us into a
goodly insight Of the Bible. We see how much
is covered by that wonderful book. The names
seem in most cases to Interpret their own orr
gin. The contents of the Bible sometimes ex-
plain the names, so also tho objects intended
to be effected by the Book give names; rs, c. g.,
Book of Life Every name will stand study
and cast some light on the Volume.

The Husband Neck.

From the Brooklyn Life.
There is scarcely husband who, during
the past four months, has not urged hts
wife to learn to ride a wheel There is
scarcely husband of the lot who does not
now regret that ne so urged her. He has
found that it has added to his nervous i'm
pairmert in the ratio of about 80 per cent
and in addition thereto he has caught the
husband neck" This strange malady is
caused by the constant craning of the
neck, generally to the left, to if the
wife of ones bosom Is safe. Even after
the husband has found that his wife has
really become a skilled rider the habit re-
mains. He can no more help turning his
head at short intervals than he can help
imagining that all sorts of dire disasters
are befalling her. And there seems to be
no cure for this. The natural one to sug-
gest would be that a mans wife should
ride ahead Of him. But no man, as yet,
could possibly consent to this. both because
1t is his nature to lead, and also because
he would thus expose his wife to the dan
gers of the road or side path, which he
might avert by being in the lead. AS yet
the disease has only attacked those who
are really fond of their wives. To what
extent it will spread is, of course. depend
ent upon the number of such husbands.

A Big Gun.

from tile San FRANCISCO HOSt-
"Talkin' about your big guns" remarked
Frank Timms, the Petaluma pothunter, Il
reckon l owned the biggest gun-harrin
cannon O. courSe-that ever struck the
coast. I'm talkin' about sportin' guns now,
not them thunderin' big chimleys they have
on ships that'n throw a base-burnin' coal
stove fifteen or twenty mile an blow a
hole in the water bisgern Mount Diablo.
The gun which I'm mentionin' of was a
goose gun 1 invented myself fer use up IN
the Sac'ermento valley. I wanted some
thin that would sweep up acre two
o. geese at one swipe, SO 1 got section O.
siX-inch water pipe, plugged up one end
loaded her with half bushel O. BIB shot,
STRAPPED it on my mule and started out.
Il was a little early an couldn't find a
goose. They hadn't got out on the feedin'
grounds yet, 50 1 sat down an waited.
Purity soon they come in clouds an lit all
around me. There was forty acres covered
with 'em so thick that you couldn't throw
a rock without hittin' a goose, an the
farthest one warn't more'n forty yards
from me-
We'll. sir. I sighted my gun along so it
touched her off by pulln' a string"
Timms paused. He did not care to reach
the climax of his story too soon. 1t might
shock his hearers.
How many geese did you kill?"
Not a blamed goose. The gun was SO
big an carried such a charge that the shot
dropped straight down to the ground and
the mule, gun and all shot clear across the
river into Suster county. If You don't be-
lisve it you can 60 up there an see where
the river is with Sutter county on one side

CAPT. SUMNER BREAKS DOWN.

Sensational Scene In n Court of In
QHIry.
There was a senSa tioral scene In yester-
days session of the court of inquiry at the
Brooklyn navy yard. appointed to deter
mine the cause of the damages sustained
by the cruiser Columbia in the Southamp-
ton dry dock.
1t Is said that in the report which Capt.
Sumner submitted to the Navy Department,
relative to tire damages the Columbia re-
ceived at Southampton. he averred that
the damages came from a structural weak
ness in tn. ship. He testified yesterday
that poor docking was the cause Of the
damage.
Capt. Sumner gave the greater part Of his
testimony from memoranda. Before he had
finished the reading he broke down and
cried. At the captains request Judge Ad-
vocate Draper completed the reading of his
statement.
As the tears rolled down the bronzed face
of the old commander there was not an
officer in the room from Rear Admiral
Walker down, who was not vis!bly affected.
No officer was sent to examine the dock
and appliances. This was a serious over
sight on my part, and one that l deeply
regret
Here was where Capt. Sumner broke
down and wept. He was so overcome that
he asked the Judge advocate, Lieut. Draper,
to finish the reading of his statement
In view of the report made by Capt. Sum-
ner to the Navy Department. that the dam
age was caused by structural weakness
the answers to the next two questions
caused mild sensation among the officers
in the court room.
Q.-The Columbia was in good condition
when she went into the dock? A--So far
as | know, she was.
Q.-Then the injuries she received were
due to improper docking? Ayes, 1 sup

County Fair.
Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, August %. 1s9e.
The crowd yesterday was the largest that
has visited the, fair since it was in exist
ence. John E. Hurst, the democratic can
d!date for governor, came down. accom-
panied by Mr.. n. d. Smith and several
politicians, on the morning train. and was
drawing card for the affair. He stayed
on the grounds all day, and met number
Of farmers, all of whom are anxious for
reassessment. The rain which fell on the
track, as was anticipated, made it much
faster by four or five seconds than it would
have been if it had not rained. The crowd
was an orderly one, and but few of the
toughs. evidently citizens from over the
island, caused any trouble. One of this
class of sports attempted to shoot the chief
of police of Marlboro. Samuel E. Sweeney,
but got fooled. 1t seems that Mr. Sweeney
had taken OF his uniform and was walking
about sizing up the crowd in citizens
clothes. During his peregrinations he ran
against fellow that looked suspicious and
he ordered him from the grounds with a
warning that if he went to Marlboro he
would be arrested, when the fellow COM
menced TO abuse Elm. and Mr.. Sweeney
concluded to arrest him at once. With this
purpose in view he started for him, when
the darkey pulled two guns after he found
out that Mr.. Sweer ey was an officer, and
made a fight for HIS life. Mr.. Sweeney
politely knocked him down with his club as
he attempted to shoot his pistol. handc uffed
rim ard sent him to jail. He will be tried
today. Two more were arrested, but the
charges are not serious.
Some of the horsemen are kicking because
they were fined $ yesterday for monkeying
at the post, and race was declared off
because a jockey had pulled his horse.
Today is the republican day, for Mr..
Lowndes, republican candidate for governor.
and friends are expected.
