Senator Gray made an elaborate argu-
mem against the adoption OF a resolu-

Booth OF London, the commander In
thief Of the army. The order is to take
effect at the end Of March next.
Commander Booth has had charge OF
The army here for nine years and has
built IL up from a struggling and more
pr less ridiculous fanatical band To the
great body OF religious workers that to-
Say commands the respect and atten-
ion in all the big cities, and conducts a
vast enterprise of material as well as
spiritual factors from the Atlantic coast
% the Pacific. Mrs. Booths influence
has been second only to that Of her hus-
band.
In Is rumored that the recall Of the
couple will mark the beginning Of a new
policy In this country. General Booth,
t Is said, while touring the United
states formed a prejudice against Amer
can institutions and customs. III report
s true he will put only Englishmen on
guard In the future. Both Commander
and Mrs. Booth became American citi-
tens less than a year ago, and II is said
General Booth did not approve of this
curse.
Commander Booth in a formal state
nent TO the public says that the order OF
recall has been received with profound
regret. Neither he nor his wife have
any knowledge of the generals future
plans, nor have they been consulted up
m the question In any way. They are
lot responsible for the order. They re-
gret that the idea should have gone
orth that the Salvation Army Is to be
rs,stst.~o. .rssa os snrersuc- sn.y a.a-
Tovert the truth of the statement.
Commander and Mrs. Booth trust that

ow these tidings to interfere with the
progress of his own advancement in the
organization they have fought so long
and so hard to unbuild and to uphold.

FAST SONG RECORD.
The Salvation Army Sets u High
Water Mark.

Cleveland. o., Jan. 1S.-The world'A
record for fast singing was broken here
by the Salvation Army soldiers of Guard
Street Barracks. The best previous re-
cord had been made by the Quincy,
England, corps, which sans 100 songs in
forty-five minutes.
This record was smashed by Captain
De CARTS and his Guard Street corps
singing 1872 songs in forty-eight minutes.
The hall was decorated with national
colors and after a parade the lads and
lasses of the corps took their places on
the stage. At 3 O'Clock the words of the
familiar song Down al the Cross
Where My Savior Died. started the con-
test, and for ~forty-eight minutes a con-
tinuous volley of melody filled the hall.
Sometimes the monotony was varied
by a solo and at times only the lasses
would sing, and then the lads would sing
while their fair companions rested. A
cornet. piccolo, bass drum and the tam
bourines of women aided the singers.
All would rise and waive their ndk
chiefs during some OF the songs AS the
siXtieth sons "a passed a glance at the
clock showed hat the Vocalists were
beating the fastest time on record and a
bright smile Of JOY lit up their faces.
Then the contest was renewed with
fresh vigor, and the last half was fin
Ished In a whirlwind Of harmony.
AS the last words of the "doXology"
pealed forth Captain de CARTS sprang to
the floor and cried fire a volley' and
then they yelled and beat the drums.
burst into hysterical laughter and
others cried. They shook hands,
waived handkerchiefs, and the meeting
broke up in a perfect roar Of congratu-
llations.
The singers watched the clock anx-
ously, and as II became more and more
apparent that the American If not the
worlds record was to be broker there
a unbounded enthusiasm. Some OF

mass OF shouting humanity.

Progress OF the Coded Lands.

Chamberlain, s. D., Jan. ia settler
on the Yankton reservation, which was
opened to settlement last May, writes
that where at hat time vas only a wild
waste Of prairie Is today dotted over
with countless houses. From his own
door he a count forty buildings. While
most Of them are temporary structures,
yet there are among them a number Of
~commodious. substantial dwellings.
Herds Of cattle, sheep and horses dot
the coded lands in every direction, prov
ing that the hardy pioneer has perma-
nently taken possession Of the former
wilderness. In n township there yet
remain but one vacant eighty acre
tract, and three ~forties. The settlers
are largely native born, although there
are quite a number of Irish, German
and Russians. The commissioners of
Charles Mix county, In which the newly
opened lands are included, will be asked
to confer the name of Welcome upon
this township, and to permit an early
organization, as the citizens are quite
anxious to avail themselves Of the ben
eft OF schools, good roads and other
~conveniences that a complete organiza-
ton will bring them.

been arrested at johannesburg for al
legged conspiracy against the Boer gov
eminent is j. S. Curtis, described In dis
patches received here from London as
being a wealthy mining engineer. Fur
ther information about the cause OF his
arrest has been sought in vain by his
friends in this city. The prisoner Is
James Story Curtis. a SOL Of the late
George Tickenor Curtis, and q man OF
considerable prominence in mining cir
cles of the world. His mother and Sis
tiers live In a Kensington apartment
house. and they, as well as friends, are
amazed at the report Of his arrest for
being one Of the leaders OF the recent
uprising In the T%ransvaal. as he has al
ways been strongly opposed to the Eng
fish schemes for securing control of the
country. His sympathies have always
been with the government, although he
went to Africa originally as the agent
Of an English company.

How TO Eurl an Cmbrella.
New York Herald.

Ar inspection Of the umbrellas carried
by women n cloudy day revealed the
fact that few Of them were properly
wrapped. All degrees Of bagginess were
displayed in the others, and many were
not furled at all. A maker Of umbrel-
las says in regard to this: Take the
handle of the umbrella In the right
hand, holding the ends of the frame be-
tween the thumb and first finger. With
the left hand pull out the flaps of silk
and fold each n separately and care
fully about the rod, smoothing out the
end nearest the handle with the thumb
of the right hand. When the flaps have
been tightly folded about the rod fasten
the clasp. Then, still holding the handle
of the umbrella in the right hand, clasp
the left hand tightly about the ferule
and twist II around the folded umbrella,
with each twist bringing the left hand
nearer the right. When the left hand
reaches the clasp hold 1t still and with
the other hand pull the m OF each flap
until II becomes smooth. Repeat the
twisting and pulling process until thS
umbrella Is wrapped tightly and
neatly"
