rather good to him at the time, but he
thought that perhaps his good opinion
was due to the afterglow of the enthu-
siasm with which he had written the
lines.
DR.. Mason recognized the worth o.
the new hymn, and it was sung in pub
lie for the first time in Boston July 4,
1882, at a childrens celebration of the
nations birthday, held in the Park
Church. 1t fastened itself, somehow, On
the memories Of those who heard it,
and it was soon carried the length and
breadth Of the land, without any other
impetus than its own strength.
DR.. Smith began public life as pastor
of the village church at Waterville, Me.
and at the same time he became pro-
fessor of modern languages in Water
vile College, now known as Colby Uni
versity. This was in 1884. Eight years
later he closed his services there and
removed to Newton Centre, where he
has since resided. For several years
he was editor of the Christian Review,
and until July, 1854, he was pastor of
the Baptist Church at Newton Centre.
He then became connected with the for
eign missionary work of the church,
and served in the secretarys depart
ment for fifteen years, during which
time he contributed by pen, voice and
money to the advancement of the in
terests of this important branch Of
Christian activity.
His knowledge of the languages of
the world proved a valuable help to his
missionary work, and to his labors in
translation the church is indebted for
many advances in the domain of intel
ligent investigation. He was on famil-
lar speaking terms with Latin, ancient
Greek, modern Greek, Hebrew, San
scrit, Arabic, Syriac, Anglo-Saxon,
Danish, Swedish, Portuguese, Spanish,
Italian, German, and French-fifteen
languages in all, besides his native Ell G.
fish. In addition to these he had in re-
cent years made considerable progress
in the mastery Of the Russian language.

Europe fears Turkey because the Sui
tan could at any time proclaim holy

would rise in answer to the call. The
map of Europe as we'll as Asia woulc
be changed before such war came t.
an end. Besides, before Europe could
crush the Turk, Russia would be able
to secure such concessions as might
make her the dictator of the Eastern
hemisphere.
Such is the Eastern Question" in a
nutshell. The policy Of the Sultan, I'M
der British inspiration, is usually one of
great religious federation. But this toll
GRAFTON is not natural to the followers
of Mahomet. Islamism is a religion of
fire and the sword, and to a true be-
lever the slaughter of Christian infidels
is the surest possible passport to Para
disc.
There is little or no reason to think
that the Sultan has connived at the
recent terrible slaughters in Armenia.
He is known to be of an extremely gen.
tie nature, polite, amiable and really
DESTROYS of educating his subjects up
to higher degree of civilization. He
simply cannot control at all times the
savage hordes who are supposed to own
his sway. The Sultan's person is in.
violab1e under the law of Mahomet.
Yet, of seventy-two Caliphs, seven were
assassinated, five were poisoned, twelve
were killed by mobs, and many had
their eyes dug out and persisted in
prison.
The evil of the Eastern Question does
not lie in Sultan Abdul Hamid, who
has no prejudice toward Christianity
and whose chief minister of finance
and personal physician are Christians
1t lies in Islamism itself Sooner OF
later the religion of Mahommed must
be destroyed. A high degree of civiliza-
ton is impossible under it,

protection must be afforded to all Am
orleans within the limits of the Turk
ish empire. The only danger lies ir

FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.
Wind Storm In Ohio Does Great Damage
and Causes One Mans Death.

''AIN SeoHAu LII Onio DOes Great damage
and Causes One Mans Death.
Cincinnati, o., Nov. q. - A terrific
wind storm swept over this section last
night, doing considerable damage to
property. Trees were uprooted, build
lngs unroofed or wrecked, telegraph
poles and wires blown down and several
boats in the river were torn from their
moorings and set adrift.
The watchmen and crews of packets
and tow boats were all aboard and con-
sternation reigned among them None
OF the boats had steam up and they
were therefore left 20 the mercy Of the
gale after the lines had parted. The
damage in the river here will amount to-
$4,000.
Gottlieb Lautenschlager. aged fifty
eight, married, was frightened to death
by the storm. He was awakened by
the heavy wind and feeling the house
snake, left his bed and walked the
moor constantly during the storm,
Wr1nging his hands and praying FOG,
deilVerance. After the storm Lauten-
schlager became somewhat calm, but
every nerve in his body quivered from
the effect of the fright. Shortly after
daylight reaction had fully set in and
ne was Frustrated. From that moment
he sank rapidly and was a corpse in
short time.

Cutting 1t Short.

A BARRIERS shop is some times a try
ing place for men who dislike to hear
other people gossip. The barber, es-
pecially if he has a shop and is alone,
must talk to his customers. Here is

The eastern Question in It's Relation

The so-called Eastern Question has
always seemed an inexplicable problem.
Yet the solution is easy enough. Rus
STA is Christian and barbarous, Turkey
is heather and barbarous. The ruling
classes Of Russia are scheming and am
bilious, and desire to control not only
Asia but to hold the balance of power
in Europe. The Turk has got over his
ambition for European politics. He is

with a promise that he can borrow
enough Christian money when his treas

1t is clear, therefore, why England
and her allies have preserved the Ma
hommetan power as a buffer to Rus
sian ambition. This political game.
however, has always involved the pei
secution and degradation of the East

A Miraculous Escape.

cross the Central Railroad track at
Whftesboro yesterday afternoon just as
a fast passenger and mail train came
along. The horse was struck by The
pilot and lodged against the head OF
the engine. The boy hung on until the
train had run about twenty rods and
then fell off at the side. The train was
stopped as quickly as possible and the
dead body of the horse was rolled of
the pilot. The boy ESCAPED without a
bruise, but how he did it with the train
running fifty miles an hour cannot be

some of the crimes of mob violence in
our own country. The United States
has two efficient war ships in the Med
eterranean, and there are probably all
that is necessary. The power of Eu'
rope is now being exerted to terrify the
Moslem fanatics and to coerce the Sui
tan into more vigorous measures of pro-
lection to his Christian subjects. Con
stantinople was in panic only a few
days since, owing to fear of British
bombardment, and doubtless the terror
inspired by the great fleets Of the Eu-
ropean nations off the Bosphorus will
soon be communicated throughout the
Turkish empire, and put stop to the
present reign of fanaticism.
And the Eastern question will remain

Our Boston Letter,
Rev. DR.. Samuel Francis Smith, tho
venerable author of the national hymn,
America and of the missionary song
The Morning Light is Breaking" is
dead at the age of 81 years. DR.. Smith
enjoyed vigorous health up to the day
of his heart failure, as he was sitting
in the station of the New England
Railroad at Boston, being about to take
a car to Readville, where he was to
make an address.
DR.. Smith was born II this city Oct.
q, 1903, and early manifested leaning
toward literature, being awarded gold
medal in the Latin school for an Eng
fish poem. When II years old he en-
tered Harvard college, being member
of what became known in later years
as 1.-The famous class Of 49, Among
his classmates were Oliver Wendell
Holmes, Benjamin R. Curtis, afterward
United States supreme court justice;
Rev. James Freeman Clarke and Ben
jamin Pierce, the astronomer. After
graduating he went to the theological
seminary at Andover, and there it was
that America" was written.
1t was through Or. Lowell Mason
to whom church music in this country
owes many a debt-that DIR. Smith
came to write the national hymn. DR..
Mason came to him one day and gave
him book Of German hymns and
tunes. asking him to pick out num-
Der that were suited to the needs of
American schools and churches. The
words were to be translated from the
German into English, "or," continued
