He instructed them to 60 forth in

Edward III. Snow considered it
done young men good to go on q
mission as they went in humility
and trusted in God, living nearer
to Him, than they would under
other circumstances.
He asked that God would bless
brother Savage while on his mis-
sion and enable him to do a good
work bearing a faithful testimony
to the truth of the Gospel.
Charles Smith said that in the
year 1853 he travelled with brother
Savage's father,in England, preach
ing the gospel. Preaching the
gospel then was different to what
it is now DIS there were quite num-
Der of Saints living there and the
elders were we'll provided for, by
the saints. But the saints are few

e. B. Snow said we have had
considerable food for reflection.
Asked how many there are among
this people who are willing to go
and preach the gospel to the na-
tions Of the earth without purse or
scrip? The instructions today are
for the elders not to provide them
selves with money to carry them
through their mission, but to rely
on God and He will provide for
their needs.

SWIFT JUSTICE.
A Negro Lynched in Front of Louis
lana Courthouse.

NEW ORLEANS, May 19.-This
morning early pedestrians who hap
pened to pass the Courthouse and jail
in ST. Bernard Parish were Mortified to
see swaying in the breeze the body of a
man: The news quickly spread, and
many hundreds viewed the gruesome
spectacle. Sheriff Nunez was told and
hastened to the scene, and Immediately
ordered that the body be cut down and
took 1t in charge. This was done, and
then it was seen that the distorted fea-
lures made hideous by Judge Lynch s
swift justice were those of Jim Daggle,
alias Jim Glemly, a negro.
The news reached the city last even
ing from ST. Bernard Parish that a
negro had attempted to ravish a white
woman, Mrs. Meleso, Sunday morning
in front Of the Poydras plantation The
news of the attempted outrage spread
through the Parish, and in a short while
every one was on the trail of the ravish-
er. He was captured and placed in the
Parish prison of st. Bernard, which is
located at Terreaux. During the night
a mob attacked the Jail and lynched the
prisoner.

QUAY AND MKINLEY.
The Pennsylvania Senator to Visit
the Ohio Statesman.

WASHINGTON, May 19-It is possi-
BILE that Senator Quay will visit Major
Mckinley at his home in Canton, Ohio.
in a very few days. This visit depends
on the ability of the Pennsylvania SEN
ator to get away from Washington.
Il had hoped to be able to pay a visit
to Major Mckinley shortly" said Sena-
tor Quay this afternoon. II am very
anxious to go to my home in Beaver.
and as this is but a short distance from
Canton l will then run over there and
see Mr.. Mckinley. There has been a.
great deal Of talk about McKinley's
financial views, and 1t occurred to me
that it would be a good thing just to slip
over there and find out how much or
how little there is in all this talk"
When asked if he had any doubt as to
the standing of Mr.. Mckinley on the
financial question, Mr.. Quay replied
that he could hardly doubt it. "Ohio.
you know" he said, has always been a
battle-ground for sound money. The
fight was made for sound money there
under Harrison, and it has been kept
up ever since. For myself do not think
the Ohio people would favor anything
else, and can hardly believe that Nc
Kinley is for anything else himself" !"

YELLOW FEVER AND SMALLPOX.
Both Diseases on the Increase on the
Island of Cuba.

WASHINGTON, May 19-Surgeon-
General Wyman has received an official
report from DR.. Burgess, United States
Sanitary Inspector at Havana, stating
that on May 10th he paid one of his
frequent visits to the hospitals in and
around the city. He ascertained that
nearly all the yellow fever in Havana at
present is among the soldiers at the
military establishment. During the
week of his visit twelve new cases of the
disease developed among the troops and
five deaths occurred. On the day of his
visit rain fell for the first time in six
weeks. followed by exceedingly hot
muggy weather.
Dr. Burgess declares that the effects
of these warm rains will be an increase
of the disease both in Havana and along
the trocha, where the sanitary condi-
ton is poor.
Smallpox, he writes. which has ex-
listed in Havana for more than eighteen
months, is again on the increase, and
fears are entertained that it may be-
come epidemic. From sixty to seventy
five new cases have developed within
the last week
