never succeeded in making man Of him.
Other means than the bayonet and the
gatling gun must be used II character Is
to be produced.
At the annual meeting at Hartford,
CT, in October, 1892, the churches voted
to relinqush the government aid of about
s22. 900 for Indian work that II had
formerly received, doing this from prirci-
pie and the conviction that they must be
true to the fundamental principles of
government held In New England. But
they have never begun to make good that
which was thus lost to the treasury OF the
association.
Congregationalsls realize with much
alarm the presence in the South of nearly
5000 900 of people, whose condition, from
whatever point of view we examine it, is
a menace to morality and free institutions.
When one state suffers, all the states
suffer with it. 1t is useless to suppose that
the white man in the South can ever rise
while he is bound by bond which cannot
be broken to such mass of almost brutal
humanity as are the ex-slaves Prof.
Bryce says that the problem of the negro
is the greatest one which confronts the
American people, today.
The American Missionary Association
is putting forth every effort and testing
methods. 1t originated industrial educa-
ton for the negro. Its industrial schools
ara still second to none. 1t seeks the
highest ability and conservation in its
teachers and missionaries, believing that
a converted man is an end to be striven

schools among the colored people with an
economy that is simply marvellous. Prob
ably no other schools can approach them

new work in strategic points builds its
buildings and conducts church and school
work with great efficiency. The South
and the North alike is threatened not only
by the illiteracy and depravity of the black
man, but by the appalling moral and in
tellectual condition of nearly 5000, 900 of
white people, who live in the mountains.
Just as fast as the churches furnish the
means, the association is pushing its very
successful church and school work among
these most interesting people. The only
hope for the survival of the mountaineers
is that them should be brought within
reach OF this wonderful 10th century civili-
cation. They are so years behind the
times. They will never catch up except
through education and the stimulus which
comes to body and soul through the Bible
and the spelling book. 1t is high time
that Congregational pastors and laymen
should make themselves responsible by
gifts and prayer to this association. which
is their accredited representative, before
they scitter their energies upon private

WHO Is TO BLAME 2.
Is 1t Not a Case of Guilty
Neglect /?
A Terrible Responsibility Rests With
Somebody.
A Serious Question to a Great Many. and
aSad One.
Who is to blame?

Who is to blame?
Surely someone is to blame for the enor-
nous amount of sickness and suffering
in the world. Too often people are prone
to throw the responsibility for their con-
dition upon some higher power. In nine
cases out of ten this is wrong, for in most
cases the blame lies entirely with the
sufferer.
1t has been shown by constantly demon
strated fact proven by the experience of
thousands upon thousands of people that
most of the difficulties and diseases from
which people suffer are easily and readily
cured by the use of DR.. Greenc's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, which is, with
out doubt, the greatest medical discovery
of modern times. 1t Is sure to cure dis
case
Mrs. VIM. NJ Strong, who lives in
Waitsfleld, VT, says:
"About ten years ago I had very
severe attack Of typhoid fever, which left
one side of my body in very bad condi-
ton One limb swelled badly, and every
time bore my weight on that limb, it
seemed as though my hip would unjoint.
The pain was dreadful, and l have never
been free from that pain during all thcse
years.

Dubuque, Ia, Sept. 25.-Six thousand
people witnessed the three cornered match
racs between John r., Gentry, Joe Patchen
and Fidol, this afternoon. Gentry won in
three straight heats, easily equalling his
mark of ., 03A, placing to his credit the
fastest heat of the year and fastest third

the other horses outclassed him. Patchen
finished SO easily in the first heats that
Curry was cautioned by the Judges. In

series for small boats defeating the Ethoi-
wynn by 20 seconds
In the 12-mile race over the triangular
course of two miles, the side wind was
from all points of the compass. A battle
royal was fought during the fifth and sixth
legs of the course. On the fifth the races
were NEST of the time squarely before the
wind, with spinnakers to port and booms
to starboard, going west and southeast.
West of them sailing craft had an easterly
wind. 1t was strange freak of the wind.
When the boats reached the fifth leg the
advantage was with the Ethelwynn. At
Curtis island buoy, Mr.. Brand persisted
In short tacks, which gave him frequent
chances to get some advantage OF the un'
favorable tide. 1t was an exciting race
from the start, for at various times frst

was ahead.

THE enchanted princess" he said to
NJ Etienne, afterward, as they walked
UP and down the courtyard with their
cigars. And of an enchanting beauty"
There was no animal to be found in
the neighborhood next day that eX-
actly suited the duke. And as the old
baron made the party welcome, and
was indeed very glad of their society
in his loneliness, there was still no
horse at the end of a week, while the
lame one gave symptoms of recovery.
The chevalier rode on with their dis
patches. Ambrose going with him as
far as the safer highways. and M.
Etienne remaining with the duke,-the
two spending portion of every day
hunting and adding a great store of
game to the baron's larder.
There were those who were wont to
say that there was a closer tie than ap-
peared even in the remarkable resem-
blance between the duke and this con-
stant companion of his, and that the
dukes father had commended the
younger man to the kind offices of his
heir. Certainly no one knew anything
with eXactneSs of the antecedents of Nj.
Etienne, other than that his education
had been of the most complete, that he
| was a gentleman to the tips of his fin
gers, that his talents were exceptional,
| and he could have commanded fame
| and fortune in his chosen profession of
| surgery had he not preferred to be sim
| ply of the household of the duke. But
] the fact is, that If there We're any bond
of a common parentage across bar
sinister-and the resemblance was not
so apparent after long acquaintance as
at first, for NJ. Etienne was much the
younger-yet neither the duke nor M.
Etienne ever spoke of it to each other.
But the duke was restless If he long
lost sight of M. Etienne; and, as a
usual thing, where the one was there
always was his shadow.
Time is not very long to young mer
possessed by a passion; and although
no one ever saw the young girl alone
yet the hours when they were not out
with the baron and the dogs were en-
dured for the sake of the mornings

waves of her black hair carved out of
ebony, the delicate curve of the red lips
opening on smile that took one cap
tive, it was hardly a wonder that the
last duke had married her from her
home in the Bases Pyrenees, without a
portion.
The duke had gone down to his es-
tateS in the islands with a couple of
friends for some shooting. At least
that was his errand ostensbly. In re-
alty he had crossed the border to meet
n representative of the Spanish court in
some endeavor to compose the endless
quarrels of the hostile kinspeople of
the royal families and bring fresh
forces to urge upon the hesitating king
at home the necessity of strong meas
llre. He was returning, unsuccessful,
from his attempt, hoping to make the
pass before dark, when his horse went
lame just where the road wound below

There Is seldom a lovelier vision

when the young Duchess des Sarazines

it fell. making the whiteness of her
shoulders more white. When she turned
in her slender stateliness, and bent to

primrose satin, threaded with gold, and
the sudden blaze of her diamonds, made
the more poetical of the spectators

the length Of some avenue before they
entered
AS for the diamonds she wore, they
We're simply marvelous-their size,
their purity, their depth, their splen-
dora collar clasped about her throat,
with sunburst on the breast, and a
double tillet in the hair, immense and
magnificent stones that seemed to
breathe as she breathed, and to shine
with a spirit of their own. There We're,
of course, none like them in the house.
and she wore them as if they We're a

box" the old Chevalier st. Malo
said, II see the stars rise in the sky"
There had been innumerable contes
told about those diamonds. They had
been in the possession of the BeauX-
lieuX since the time of the Crusades for
all that men knew to the contrary. The
BeauXieuX of that day had spoiled the
Saracens of them, barbaric and half
cut stones, one legend ran; Others said
that the BeauXlieuX of the time of
Charlemagne, who had carried on the
futile negotiations for the emperor's
marriage to the Byzantine Princess
Irene, had been enriched with them
before leaving the east. 1t was GER
tain that they had been recut and many
times reset, and it was believed that no
woman of all that proud and long-de-
scended race had worn them with the
grace and beauty and nonchalence of
the present duchess0 Tall, supple, her
dark skin colorless and clear, her dark
eyes like liquid light, her features
modelled in ivory, as you might say, the
