BERLIN, Oct. II, Copyright, 1860
During his brief stay in this city and in
Potsdam, it is understood that Shiskine,
the Russian acting minister Of foreign
affairs, gave Emperor William and the
chancellor, Prince Won Hohenlohe, a
full account of the visit of the czar and
czarina to France, coupling Herewith
assurances that the Russian-French en-
tente is entirely of a peaceful nature.
His majesty is satisfied with these state
ments, but persons who were present at
the dinner given by Prince Hohenlohe
to the Russian guest declare that the
German chancellor Is not free from sus-
picion.
The emperor, however, speaking to
the Russian ambassador, Count Won Os-
ten Sanekin, after the departure of
Mons. Shiskine, said: Nothing, am
sure, will occur in the near future to dis
turb these amicable relations with Rus
sia, which 1 cherish so much"
There is a growing feeling of dissatis-
faction in Germany at the policy of the
government toward Turkey. Crumb-
ish service, who brought to Berlin let
ter of thanks and presents from the sui
tan to the emperor for the latter's pic
ture, sent to Abdul Hamid shortly after
the massacres at Constantinople, is re-
ported to have convinced Emperor Will
liam, at an audience on Wednesday,
that Abdul Hamid intends to do his ut
most to restore order and preserve
peace in his dominions. The emperor
was greatly touched at receiving the
sultans costly presents.
Prince Bismarck also received two
priceless vases from the sultan, sent him
by courier, with an autograph letter
from Abdul Hamid thanking the prince
for his sympathy during the recent
troubles.
1t is considered that the German gov
ernment will continue to support the
statu quo in Turkey. but the entire Lib
eral press strongly condemns this pol
icy. The Vossische Zeitung, for ex-
ample, pooh-poohs the idea of Turkish
reforms and says: Every province
must be put under foreign administra-
ton. That is the only policy"
An extraordinary instance Of military
brutality has occurred at Karlsruhe. A
workman, on entering a cafe, accident
ally pushed the chair of Lieutenant
Merned Won Bruessowitz, who demand

who was not aware that he had given
cause for offense, declined, whereupon
the lieutenant drew his sword and would
have run the workman through the body
but for interference of the landlord.
Then the workman tnan4 to escape, fol-
lowed by the officer, who overlook the

barred by a locked door. The lieutenant,
who was intoxicated, no sooner reached
the workman at the door than he ran
him through the back and killed him.
No proceedings have yet been taken

anyway. is likely to be nominal. on the

CARL SCHURZ
Is Very Angrily Angry About the Mad
Silver Craze

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE
Hon. Carl Schurz, in an address deliv-
cred in German tonight before a small
audience under the auspices Of the Ger
man-American Sound Money league, in
speaking Of the financial issues now be-
ing fought out in the campaign, said:
My friends, this whole free coinage
movement is a mad craze. 1t was con-
ceived in iniquity and brought into life
in revolutionary outburst at the Dem

natural effort, If it confers one benefit

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 17.-William
Jennings Bryan completed his speech.
making tour in Michigan tonight by ad
dressing the largest throngs of people
ever gathered at political meetings in
Detroit. From platform erected
against the side of the Hotel Cadillac
he talked to a mass of people which
filled the wide boulevard and extended
far into adjoining streets. At the au-
ditorium he spoke to an audience which
occupied every inch of space, while
thousands stood outside waiting for a
possible sight of the candidate. Last
ly, he appeared upon a stand erected at
the Woodward-avenue front Of the city
hall before a crowd SO great that 1t
stopped all street and other traffic. The
candidates train was met at the Wood
ward avenue station, three miles from
the center of the city, by the reception
committee. The procession of carriages
trotted down Woodwad avenue and to
the Hotel Cadillac by a rear alley en-
trance, thus avoiding the crowds on
Michigan avenue. A mighty roar of en-
thusiastic applause went up from the
crowd as Mr.. Bryan appeared and tre-
mendous enthusiasm was kept up the
entire evening.

KANSAS.-Junction City.-As a

S.-JunctiOn City.-As a re-
suit OF revival meeting in the Pfesby-
terian Church, ia which our doctrines
were assailed, led to series Of ten doc
trinal discourses in our church. Bible
proofs of our many doctrines and the
early history of the church engaged the
the principal attention, although each
night texts were called for from the or
thodox people which would prove an
endless hell. Audiences grew in num-
bers and interest, especially at the last,
when few texts were received to explain.
At the close three prominent ladies,
heads of families, united with the
church. The meeting closed to make
way for the fair.
The Fair. A success in every way.
One day fancy articles were on sale.
Chicken pie dinner and turkey supper
were served. Entertainment at night.
A little more, or less, than hundred
dollars will be the net result. The faith
full ladies deserve great credit.
Surprise Party at the parsonage

The Sunday School gave cantata,

Christmas. and upon Christmas night
another called Santa Claus Dream"
Both were successful. Santa Claus
Dream" brought tidy sum to the Sun

and Mrs. A. L. Barnes were the indefa-
tigable promoters.
Communion Sunday. The 28th was
the regular quarterly communion and
reception Of members into the church.
At the call of the pastor four men and
four ladies came forward. These people
are all well and favorably known in this
city, representing five households, and
make valuable addition to the working
strength of the church. 1t is encourage
ing when men, the heads of families,
can be brought to see their duty and
come forward TO lend their influence to
the Christian church. Two Of the ladies
we're from the Y. P. @. U.

OREGON.-Portland. Rev. Elmer j.
Felt, our Tacoma pastor, announces in
the parish paper of his society, the early
settlement of Universalist pastor at
Portland, Ogn. "We only dare make a
brief announcement of the securing of a
pastor for Portland. The definite and
final terms have not been fixed, but the
probability is that by the second Sun
day in January the faithful friends of
our Portland church will listen to the
voice of their own pastor" Particulars
are promised "next week" which in this
case was last week. We hope for a con-
firmation of the good news.
CALIFORNIA.-Santa Cruz This
parish was formerly under care of Rev.
Edgar Leavitt, now of our Japan Mission.
Since his departure it has had no regu-
lar pastor. Occasional services have
however, been held and the Sunday
school and Y. P. @. U. have continued
the work. We now have the pleasure
of announcing that Rev. H. d. L. Web
ster. OF Chicago, who is at Santa Cruz
for the winter, will supply the pulpit.
This arrangement will give the little
parish good preaching and wise pastoral
care. The financial pressure is felt very
keenly in all California towns, but our
people at Santa Cruz will rally around
Bro. Webster and do all that is possible
for the support of the preaching.

IOWA.

THE DEATH OF AUNT LUCY PARTCH.
The UNIvERsALIsT this week contains
in the In Memoriam department. the
announcement of the death at Elkader,
Ia, January 5, of one of the elect
women of Iowa, the widely known and
much beloved Aunt Lucy Partch. This
is bereavement which will be keenly
felt in our church circles in that State.
Mrs. Partch frequently attended Univer-
salist meetings in Iowa, and was always
an inspiring and helpful presence. She
will be remembered as one Of the as
cended saints of our communion whose
memory will be dear to us ALL Rev. Mr..
Gillespie, who attended her funeral,
writes feelingly of the departed sister,
as fellows:
'In the death of Mrs. Partch our
church and the world have lost bene-
factor of more than ordinary faithful
ness. God blessed her with that rare
spirit of love which, to meet in cold
and darkened world, is an inspiration to
work with renewed courage and more
lively hope for that kingdom for which
we pray.
II believe that after my first meeting
with Mrs. Partch more than year ago,
that wrote that had our denomination
more of such hearers and doors of the
word that we would stand among the
first in visible prosperity and spiritual
strength. Her fortitude in most pain
full and prolonged sickness, her advice
and never wavering faith in our blessed
hope, has doubly strengthened my first
conviction.
Though Mr.. and Mrs. Partch have
been among the many isolated Univer-
salists, Universalism and Universalists
have not been isolated from them. |
was glad that these words might be ia
ken for the text of the address given at
her funeral 10 the little church where
she had labored and hoped so long,
Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord
Her own works have written for her
a name in the Book of Life of the Lamb
of God. Let all our brethren extend
their sympathy to her beloved husband,
and be to him brother indeed in his
hour of sore affection"

NEW YORK. : Brooklyn DR.. J.
Coleman Adams writes of belated
New Years call at his house:
while the pastor of All Souls
Church was meeting his young people
on Friday evening, leaving only the
children and the maid at home, some
anonymous party or parties made call
at his house. They behaved in rather
curious manner, entering without ring
or knock, through afront parlor- window
which they pried open, and going at
once to the sleeping apartment of the
minister and his wife, began to look for
Christmas presents and other memen-
toes. Having secured several hundred
dollars worth, in jewelry and money.
they departed in such great haste that
they omitted to leave their cards or even
to close the front door behind them. ]
This oversight on the part of the belated
New Years callers renders it impossible
for the undersigned to thank them as he
would like for the kindness they dis
played in leaving anything behind them,
as we'll as for their considerable thought
fulness in not waking the children nor
disturbing the servant. If this rarc
graph should chance to meet their eyes
they are respectfully reminded that an
onymous calls are in as bad form as an
onymous letters, and are requested to
send their names, not necessarily for
publication but as guarantee of good
faith. Also if they have wearied of any
of the souvenirs of their hasty call, ex
pressage will be paid gladly, upon the
return of the same"

view Of his losses, but he seems to have
