HELPED AN AMBITIOUS YOUTH.
q Virginia hoy Who Appreciates the
Presidents Kindness.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
A gentleman in Baltimore has received
a letter from a friend telling how q young
man without political influence obtained
an appointment as a naval cadet from the
President. The incident illustrates the
manly way President Cleveland has or
approaching manliness in others. 1t also
shows that the President, although al
ways busy with the affairs Of state, can
stil find time to interest himself in and
sympathize with young men and help
them to realize their ambitions when 1t
lies within his power. The father Of the
young man who received the appoint
ment was a chief engineer in the navy,
and had an excellent record. lie is now
dead. Two Of the fathers brothers were
in the confederate service. Here is the
young mans own account Of how he
got the appointment
After failing to get political influence
to help me to secure an appointment as
a naval cadet, determined to 90 to the
President myself and personally lay my
case before him. All my friends, with
one exception, my teacher, Mr.. Blackburn
of Alexandria, smiled at this plan. He
gave me a letter to Mr.. Cleveland. I
went to the white house four times be-
fore got into his Office. The crowds
waiting to see him can only be imagined.
Finally. my name was called. and / en-
tered with about fifty Office seekefs.
LAS soon as possible ! made my way to
Mr.. Cleveland, and told him my name and
business. / told him that / had no polit-
ical influence, and that had only four let
tiers from old friends of my father and one
other from a friend of my own. Mr..
Cleveland took the letters. put his hand
on my shoulder in a fatheriy way. and
said: Young man. ] am told that I have
no more appointments for this year, but
will do all / can for you He also said
he would see that my papers were filed II
would leave them with him. My heart
took his big hand, and squeezed 1t with
both Of mine.
"slx months passed and received an
alternate's appointment from the presi-
dent This did me no good, as my prin-
cipal passed the examination and was en-
rolled. I again applied to the President
this time by letter. and his secretary re-
piled. saying that Mr.. Cleveland would
do what he could. That was last fall In
March / received my appointment. There

STORY OF WALDENSES.
Three Instructive Addresses by Rev. T..
Rostan Yesterday.

KpstuN
Rev. T.. Rostan. of Italy, who repre-
sents the Church of the Waldenses, de-
livered three entertaining and instruc-
tive addresses in the city yesterday
In the morning he addressed a large
congregation at the Second Presbyter-
ian church and in the afternoon he de-
llvered an address to about 100 Italians
in the vernacular. At the meeting two
babies. born of Italian parents in this
country. were baptized and received
into the church.
In the evening Mr.. Rostan spoke of
the Church of the Waldenses to "a large
congregation at the First Presbyterian
church. and in an instructive manner
emphasized the antiquity of the church,
the origin of which was shrouded in
mystery. The missionary spirit, he
said. had been predominant in the
churches since the middle ages, and had
published the first Bible in the French
language. Speaking of the persecu-
tions caused by the church of Rome, he
described in graphic manner how the
Waldenses had worked throughout and
accomplished their purposes.
The Bible was almost an unknown
book in Italy. and to this he ascrlbed
their ignorance rather than what some
people might term their bigotry. After
referring to the great self-support
shown by the churches he concluded
with brilliant picture of the better
times. which. in religious sense, were
passing over Italy.

ness is developed, your strength Is in
creased, and your greatness enhanced.
No one has ever attained to any great
ness but by the binding of himself to
that very object and so It Is with the
highest good of heaven and earth.
ut is also the very means of uniting
us with Christ the Lord. 1t is true
there is a sense of a memorial In 1t for
an absent Christ, yet by the doing of
this we can best realize His coming,
and thus make His presence felt among
us even now. All the different creeds
and opinions of Christendom unite In
this one sense, that the presence OF
Christ can be realized by the right
using of these means.
"It requires us to make Christ the
very center of our being. Revolve
around this center on these principles,
Scripture, faith, sacrifice of love for the
sake of others, the triumph of our
spiritual nature. We are now members
of the spiritual world. The only way to
triumph Is by making Christ the very
center of our being. The doctrine of
the cross Is that the very worst that can
happen to us, thus, shall be made the
most eifectual means of our advance
ment to the highest heaven"

TO THE Sons OF ST. GEORGE
Rev. Rogers Israel Preached Especially
for Them Yesterday.
MAN AND ANIMAL DEFINED
Endowed and Enuoblcd Man Is NOT
Satisfied and Suffcrs-Bcasts Rejoice
III Living-Scicnco Fails In Remedy
While God Shows Dclivcrancc.

Rev. Rogers Israel preached by invi-
tation to the members of the Sons of st.
George at st, Lules church yesterday
morning, when representatives to the
number of 1i0 attend from Scranton,
Hyde Park, Providence and Priceburg
lodges. The members occupied the
front seats of the church and wore the
omblematical colors of the order-red,
white and blue.
The impressive service of the Episco-
pal church was enriched by the excel
lent music rendered by the surpliced
choir under the direction of Organlst j.
Willis Conant, who had arranged II
tasteful programme for the occasion.
Philip IL. Warren, Il well known bari
tone. who Joined st. Luke's church
choir yesterday morning, sang the offer
tory solo, "rhe Resurrection" by a. j.
Holden,
Previous to his sermon the rector, In
the name of his parish bade the sons
and daughters of the order hearty
welcome to st. Luke's church. The SER
mon, which showed traits of much re-
search and thought was based on |
John. V. IL: And this is the record,
that God hath given to us eternal life,
and His life is in His Son"
Humanity and unhappincss.
The prominent characteristic of hui
manity, he remarked. was unhappiness,
and man was recognized as an animal,
endowed and ennobled by the power of
reason. but differing from the brute
l., 1,., al 81 a
enioyments he possessed, which, how
ever. entailed terrible responsibilities
and sufferings. Animals rejoice in the
very act of living. but with man. the
most perfect animal. he could not thus
ent, life and could not enjoy every
gra fication without suffering untold
agohy.
Many theories had been advanced in
explanation of the difference between
man and brute without avail. Science,
which had unravelled so many mys-
teries. could only give the nearest ap-
proach to comfort in the law of the sur
vival of the flttest. History had en-
deavored to throw light on the subject
and had searched incident after Incl
dent and epoch after epoch, but neither
had brought hope to the suffering or
JOY to the unhappy.
After viewing the matter from this
standpoint in an interesting manner.
the reverend gentleman pointed out
that where science, history and society
had failed. the supernatural revelation
of the word of God pointed out the final
deliverance from evil and Christ tri-
umphant in bringing JOY out of sorrow.
In an eloquent peroration he dwelt on
the ultimate complete and universal tri-
umph of good over evil

A Louisiana Centennial Exposition.


The New Orleans Chamber of Com
merce at its meeting Saturday night
proposed the holding Of an Exposition
in New Orleans in 1903, in commemora-
tion Of the one hundredth anniversary
of the purchase Of the Territory of Lou
isiana by the United States; and ap-
pointed a committee Of one hundred to
examine into the movement, select a
site and devise ways and means, and
take such steps as may be necessary.
That the event is one which ought to
be celebrated In some way goes without
saying. The purchase Of Louisiana by
the United State Is. next to the Declara-
tion Of Independence, the most import
ant event in American history. Moth
ing contributed more to the prosperity
of the country. nothing has been more
instrumental in making the United
States what they are. Had the colonies
been surrounded, as they would have
been with Louisiana in the hands Of
France or England. shut out of the great
Mississippi Valley, the United States
would never have reached anywhere
near their present wealth. populati or
prosperity. The population to-day of
the States which were Included in the
Territory Of Louisiana is 14,875.0O or
nearly one-fourth of the entire Union.
But this is only one Of the many advan-
tages that have accrued to Us from JET
ferson's far-seeing purchase. Had the
population which now occupies Louisi-
ana territory poured into a French or
England, colony 1t would have weakneed
the republic and would. in all probabi-
lity, have s0wed the seed Of dissension
that would have ultimately broken it up.
We do not imagine. however. that there
Is any difference of opinion on the point
the purchase of Louisiana was of great
advantage to the United States, and
gave it that impetus which has brought
it to the high position it how occupies
in the congress Of the world. An event
which means cd much for the country
should certainly be celebrated in some
way; and the States which are included
In the Louisiana purchase will join
heartily In the celebration.
1t is true that the event is sohe time
of as yet (eight years.) but experience
shows the necessity Of getting to work
at an early day on an enterprise of this
kind In order to achieve complete sue
cess. France always begins work eight
years in advance, and to this early be-
ginning it owes the success Of its sever
al great International Expositions: The
action taken by the Chamber of Com
mercs is merely a suggestion. and it
leaves us ample time to discuss it pro
and con, and determine whether the
idea il good one.-Times- Democrat.
