were married at West Randolph, Vt, il
September 1894, and the happy coupl
took up their abode at the Hotel St
George, at White River Junction wher,
the wife found employment as a book
keeper for Bagley 4 Sons, tinsmiths
plumbers etc.
The plaintiffs business required him tc
pe away from home and family very much,
ana while he was absent, the plaintiff testi-
mony tended to show the defendant made
frequent calls at the room of Mrs. Smith
and at unreasonable hours, even as late as
II O'Clock p. NJ. and that on one occasion
OF Sunday afternoon lady calling at the
home Of Mrs. Smith, found defendant and
MRS. Smith the sole occupants, and MIR.
Bagley in his shirt sleeves.
There was other evidence tending tn
snow that for some cause the plaintiff and
his wife had become estranged. Mrs.
smith IS an interested spectator of the pro-
Sceed'ngs at this trial, although under the
laws OF the land she is denied the privilege
OF testltying to vindicate her own good
character and reputation. The testimony
on the part OF the defendant tended to
snow that the visits at Mrs. Smiths room
were upon business connected with the
bookkeeping for the firm of Bagley &
oons' and that nothing immoral or improper
1ad taken place or been intended, and the
defendant went tu,ther and gave evidence
tending to show that the improper and i'm
moral conduct of plaintiff with certain lewd
women at hotel in Bellows Falls, Vt,
was their real and only cause of disturbed
and ma uncongenial relations between plain
TIT and wife in the Smith family. This
line OF evidence was spicy and interesting.

/, The insurance has been adjusted on the
loss sustained by the Keene Furniture COM
pany at the recent fire. Substantially a total
loss is allowed on the wooden building and
us It's GO contents and the company is to receive
81 500 ON its machinery, etc, in the brick
shop. The total amount of insurance to be
paid is $3f,925. The settlement arrived at is
very satisfactory to all parties. The insur-
ance people figured the loss on goods and
machinery at about 900.
At present 10 plans have been made as to
the wooden building, which may or may not
he rebuilt. This will depend upon arrange
ments for the futsare which are yet to be per-
fected. The goods to be made at once to fill
orders will not require very much room fol
finishing. The bicycle rim business is likely
to require a good deal of attention immedi.
ately as it seems likely to develop rapidly.

CongratuIates Stickney.

We congratulate Mr.. .Stickney on the
fight he fought and sympathize with him in
the battle he lost. He developed wonder
full strength among the young Republicans
OF Vermont, received highly complilpbn-
tary vote and would without doubt hive
beaten any other man in the state. He
will be fully justified in bringing his name
before the people again for governor and
when he does it will require a man with a
good deal of confidence in his own popu-
larity to oppose him Brandon Union.

Gas the event has amply proved
this cannot be gainsaid-the people of Yer
mont are very weary of the domination Of
the politicians who assume to parcel out
the governorship for years ahead and to
distribute leading offices, both state and
federal, in the same easy and assured
manner. Major Grout's candidacy was in
their mind more or less identified with
these people; his candidacy was in the pop
ular opinion loaded with candidates. for
| other offices and as result Burlington
set the pace for the state by endorsing a
gubernatorial candidate whose interests it
| believed to be antagonistic to the other in
terests we have named. The people Of
Burlington and of Vermont had nothing
against Major Grout. On the contrary, he
has the general esteem, confidence and re-
spect. On the other hand, hundreds of
Republicans voted for Stickney-good man
as he is-who had no personal knowledge
whatever of him. To a very large extent,
the vote for Mr.. Stickney was not cast for
him, personally, but as protest against
the influences we have cited.-Burlington

Both Good Men.

The Messenger cannot refrain from
heartily congratulating Speaker William
W Stickney for the gallant fight he made
for the honor which so many loyal friends
were anxious to win for him. 1t is proud
to say that throughout the long and heated
canvass it has never spoken disparagingly
OF bis eminent abilities and peculiar fitness
Tor the position. 1t has gladly recognized
his undoubted right to make an honest,
fair, and above board contest for such a
distinguished position and it is equally glad
to say that it sincerely believes that it has
been upon those lines that his canvass has
been conducted. Speaker Stickney may
well rejoice in the possession Of so many
ardent friends to follow him tirelessly and
increasingly with hearty vim and enthus-
asm through the long WEAKNESS and strain
OF such an exacting contest, and the disap-
polntment of defeat can be tempered by
the knowledge that the state is all the bet
ter of for having two good men to choose
between.-St. Albans Messenger.

Major Grout's nomination bya scant ma

the young giant that has come so near to
victory in this canvass has sturdy strength

nored or brushed aside.-Burlngton Clip

EARLY RACE OF MEN.

BY the measurement of skulls Prof.
Sergi thinks that he has established the
existence of an early race of men whom
he calls the Mediterraneans. They arose
in the mountains of Abyssinia, spread
over Egypt and the north coast of Africa,
reaching to the Canary Islands. Spain,
Italy, Switzerland, Great Britain. and
Ireland, the greater part of France,
Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, and the coun-
try about the Black Sea. In later times
branches of this race came to Europe
from Asia Minor. and became known as
Pelasgi and Etruscans. The Hittites
belonged to the same stock. Their skin
was brownish. their hair and eyes black.
and their skulls Of peculiar shapes,
which Prof. Sergi subdivides into clip
sold. ovoid pentagonal, ,rhomboid, cupoid.
sphenoid and the like. The race in
Northern Italy, France. and Britain was
driven west by the coming OF the Kelts.

OUR CONTRIBUTORS.
BEFORE THE APPEARANCES OF
JESUS.
BY REV. s. CRANE, DID.

HAVING become interested in study
ing the resurrection of Jesus anew
and being assured that our studies
thus far have been of interest to
readers of THE UN1vERsALIsT, we ven-
ture to offer little study of his ap-
pearances after his crucifxion. But
first of all let us see what happened
before he was seen of any one. Let
US study the record of what transpired
between his crucifixion and his first
appearance to Mary.
Jesus died about three o'clock in
the afternoon Of Friday. On the
evening of that day Joseph of Ari-
mathea, having obtained permission
of the Roman Governor, took the
body from the cross and wrapped it
in clean linen cloth, placed it in his
own new tomb which he had hewn
out of the rock for himself. This
tomb was really vault cut in the
solid rock with shelves or places
upon which the bodies Of the dead
were to be laid. Upon one of these
shelves or resting places, the body of
Jesus was laid. The door of this
vault was low, so that one must stoop
in order to go in or look in. This
door was closed with large stone
probably, so fitted to the opening
as to close it tight and make all with
in secure. On Friday night the body
of Jesus was in this tomb and the
tomb securely closed with its great
stone door. Besides, this door was
sealed by the authorities.and watch
set.
1t may be we'll to remark just
here, that this tomb contained only
the one body, SO that there could be
no mistaking its identity. This tomb
was in the solid rock and so could
not be entered except through the
door. The door was securely fast
ened, sealed and guarded by Roman
soldiers, so that the supposition that
the body was or could have been
stolen is not within the range of pro-
liability. 1t is too absurd to be
worthy of consideration.
The darkness of Friday night is
coming on. The Mary's and the
other women remain longest at the
tomb. They witness the burial of
their beloved Master. At last they
return to their homes with sad and
sorrowful hearts. Saturday is the
Jewish Sabbath and this one was a
day of great solemnity and we may
be sure it was one of deep gloom to
all connected with the cause of the
"Crucifed One" Very early in the
morning of Sunday, the first day of
the week, when it was yet dark, Mary
of Magadala, and the other Mary
with their companions in this Office
of love, start for the sepulchre with

Despair of "A Rational Belief"

A writer in the Westminster Review
(sceptical, treating of the Persistence
of Dogmatic Theology" writes despair
ingly of what he calls "a rational belief"
The Nicene Creed is firmly intrenched
in all schools and universities. 1t is
carried down by heredity; men are what
their ancestors were. The first training
of children is with women, who do not
reason but only believe. The rational
istic father-"great and grievous diff
culties perplex him. How are the chill
dren to be instructed in this matter of
religion?" The writer does not get at
the strongest motive in the heart of the
father. He is deeply solicitous for the
moral safety of his children. So that it
is most usual to find rationalistic faith.
er seeking the influence of Christian
people over his son. This he cannot
find in circles Of his own kind. The class
of men who write in the Westminster
Review may well despair Of any theology;
but we do not espair.-Christian Life.

are commonly found in the country.
During the morning services these two
rooms are thrown together, the audience
sitting on the floor in the Japanese fash
ion. Strangers rarely attend this ser
vice. But in the evening the whole
building is thrown open even the side
next to the street being removed. This
service is very interesting for it is the
special evangelistic service of the day.
The meeting is opened in the usual way
with singing. prayer and Scripture read
ing. Then comes preaching, first by Mr..
Satoh and next by Mr.. Yoshimura. One
by one the passers-by gather in front.
Now and then one ventures in. Most
listen attentively. and especially while
Mr.. Yoshimura is speaking. His sermon
was an eloquent and earnest appeal to
the people to put aside the low aim of
material success and to live according to
spiritual ideals. His remarks we're based
upon the parable of the houses built, the
one upon the sand, the other upon the
rock. After the sermon tracts were dis
tributed.
Nearly every evening in the week our
Osaka workers are busy with classes
studying the English language. This is
one method of getting in contact with
the people.
1t is interesting to note that eleven of
the thirteen active members of the
Osaka church are Post Office clerks.
This is explained by the fact that the
oldest and most influential mem Der is a
Post Office clerk.
A little incident which occurred while
l was in Osaka may be of interest, espec-
tally as it represents in an aggravated
| form q national trait. While walking on
the street one day l was accosted by a
good looking young man with the salu
tation: Good day" in very good Eng.
lish. | answered his greeting in due
form and the following conversation en-
sued: "What is your business?" II am
a missionary" DO you live in the for.
eign concession?' mo, l live in Tokyo
"Oh! Good day." and SO saying he walked
on. His object was simply to let me
know that he could speak English. He
was so overcome by the idea of the great
ness of the accomplishment that he
stopped stranger on the street for nc
other purpose than to display his knowl
edge. Others have had similar exper.
fences. Up to the last night of my stay
in Osaka the weather was mild and
comfortable. But on that night the
mercury went down and the wind came
up, circumstances which made me lone
for more comforts than can be found in
Japanese hotel. The little box of burn.
ing charcoal was quite unequal to the
situation. Here again the foreigner is
at a disadvantage. The Japanese sits
on his feet and holds his hands over the
Goals and with sufficient clothing on his
back he can keep reasonably warm. The
foreigner may keep his hands warm, but
do the best he can his feet will stick
out to the weather. The consequence is
that the discomfort of cold feet is added
to the discomfort Of sitting on the floor
At such times one longs for stove and
| a chair.
l will reserve Kyoto and Nagoya for
another time.

To which of these belonged the Saviour, Jesus.

Or ordered forms of churchly rule he taught,
But soul of love that blossomed into deeds.
With human good and human blessing

Onme nor priest nor presbyter nor pope,
Bishop nor dean, may stamp party name;
But Jesus with his largely human scope
