Maine the "seat Of satan"

Special to The World.
Boston, May 1.-THE evangelists who
have been laboring in New England are
holding a convention in Boston, and today
they held up the good old Pine Tree State
as the ''seat of satan" In the prohibition
state. they said, rum seemed to them TO
be king.
They told of large sections in Maine
where there had been no church service for
years, and of other districts where the dead
were sometimes buried without even a cler-
gyman's prayer.
John $. Blair said: why do we talk
about Asia and Africa and send mis-
sionaries there and neglect entirely this
wicked and destitute state? There seemed
to be nothing but rum in Brookton nothing
but drinking and dancing and gambling.
The liquor dealers and the hotel men tried
to induce us not to preach against rum,
but we went ahead and preached the whole
gospel"

Strange Animal Combats.

a very large mink was running along
the bank of a Georsia creek, when sud
denly he stopped, bowed himself up Ike a
cat and began walking around in circle
of eight or ten feet, his eyes glaring ana
riy,ted upon some object in the center OF
the circle 1t was big moccasn snake,
coilcd up. brandishing his forked tongue,
and his eyes fixed upon his deadly enemy.
The mink kept walking around for several
minutes, and then, quick as a flash, ne
made "A spring, caught the snake 10y the
side of the neck, and then the battle be-
gan in earnest. The snake made desperate
attempts to encircle the mink wltnin the
folds of his coil Suddenly the mink let
go and skipping off about the same dis
lance from the foe began circling around
again. This process was repeated three
times and then the snake gave up ana
died After resting awhile, the mink
seized the snake and started to drag it
down the bank, when the man who had
be.n watching the combat from the OPP
nosite bank appeared and frightened the
animal away.

DIR. BOGTH ELECTED.
An Anti-BriEGs Was Chosen n MOder-
ator by the PrcsbyterIanS.

Pittsburg, Pa. May 1.-THE one hundred
and seventh annual assembly of the north
ern Presbyterian church opened its sessions
here today in the Third Presbyterian church
with customary ceremonies. DIR. McEwen,
chairman of the local committee, clerks of
the assembly and many prominent minis
tiers and ex-mOderators of the church were
present. The opening session was occupied
entirely by the delivery of the sermon of
the retiring moderator, Rev. Samuel A.
Mutchmore, d. D., of Philadelphia.
DIR. MutchmOre's sermon was a surprise
to the commissioners, in that it contained
no keynote on the burning question of
seminary control. Usually the moderator's
sermon touches on great issues that are
TO come before the assembly. This ser
mon is notably free from such allusion.

WASHINGTON, Dec 9-The house
program this week is dreary waste.
Until the committees are appoited the
machinery of the honse is blocked and
nothing can be done, save by unani-
nous consent. Any resolution that
might be presented-an it is in this
form that the sensations that agitate
the lower branch of congress are usu-
ally sprung would go down before a
single objection. For this reason no
attempt will be made to do anything
until Speaker Reed announces his com.
mittees, which he now expects to have
ready at the end of the week.
There probably will be but three
brief sessions this week. An adjourn
ment will likely be taken today until
Wednesday or Thursday, and from
that date until Saturday, when the
committees will be announced. The
indications are that practically nothing
can be done in the way of the consider.
alton of actual legislation until after
the holidays However, the congress
sional hoppers are filling up pre- para
tory to the grinding that will follow
later. Last week several hundred bills
were introduced and it is probable that
fully as many will be started on ther
journey to the statute books this week.

IL Asks Congress to Put Duty on DIFF

It Asks Congress to Put a Duty on DIFF
frent Grades of Wool.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The memorial
adopted by the National Woolgrowers'
association, to be presented to congress
today, is lengthy one. 1t was drawn
up by President Lawrence Of Ohio and
O committee, and was finally indorsed,
with some notifications, unanimously,
The emorial says that since the Nc.
Kinley act Of 1890 was passed the
prices Of wool have declined in the mar
kets of the world some per cent, and
that this created the necessity for pro-
tective duties, which did not exist even
when the Mckinley act was passed. It
asserts that this act was intended to
give duty of II cents per pound on
hnwashed merlno wool, double on
washed and triple on secured; that the
wool manufacturers succeeded in get
ting incorporated in the act Of 1890 q
provision known as the "shirting
clause" which, with the shrinkage in
the securing of Australian woods, prac-
tically defies the protective purposes Of
the act Of 1890 so that the provisional
duty OF III cents per pound is only
equivalent to 6 cents on Ohio washed
merino in competition with Australian
wool, and that the lduty of the act of
1890 of 33 cents on secured per pound
Of merino wool affords practical pro-
lection of only 1872 cents per pound.
Also that all importation of China
wool which competes with merino
wool, and wool Of the mutton breeds
was imported during the last fiscal
year to the amount of 26,000 900 pounds,
at an import price of little over
cents per pound. This is said to be a
new source of supply of foreign wool
since the Mckinley act was passed and
American woolgrowers cannot com
pete with that wool under the present
rate Of duty. The memorial therefore
asks for q duty on merino woods and
woods Of the mutton breeds of sheep of
IL cents per pound on unwashed,
double on washed aud triple on secured,
thus making but one class of these two
kinds of wool. 1t asks for duty Of 8
cents per pound on third class woods
without reference to valuation. 1t de-
clares that these rates of duty are abso-
lutely necessary to save the American
wool industry from ruin. The mem
orial says that with 1870 majority in the
house Of representatives in favor Of
protection it cannot escape the duty of
speedily giving consideration to this
subject and quotes the paragraph Of
President Cleveland's message in which
he says he is ready to cooperate with
congress in providing measure of re-
lief for the treasury.
Sixteen states are represented in the
association. The memorial is signed
