Proper Fertilization of Our Cities.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-Major Gen
eral Nelson A. Miles, commanding the
army, before the committee on coast
defenses yesterday made a statement
of the condition of the coast defenses
on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
and Gulf of Mexico. He stated that
the guns now mounted at Savannah,
Charleston and other ports are smooth
bores of obsolete patterns and useless
and are mounted on rotten carriages.
The only places where provision has
been made for any considerable de-
Tense are New York, San Francisco
and Boston, and defenses at these
places are entirely inadequate and in
sufficient He said that our cities are
open to attack by any country having
a large navy, and that it would take
years to create the necessary arrange
ment. He estimated that the entire
cost of coast defenses for adequate pro-
lection of the country at about $780,

This would not include the cost of
ammunition and projectiles.

party of twenty-five men who were
picked up from open boats off Long
Island Monday morning by the
schooner Helen II. Benedict were
landed here late Monday night and
left here early yesterday for New
York, whence they sailed last Sunday.
The men were all reticent about their
affairs and would give very little in
formation as to the circumstances at
tending the wreck, but it was learned
that their ship was the steamer j. w.
Hawkins. recently purch ased at Balti-
more for an alleged Cuban cruise, and
that she sailed from New York last
Sunday night, having on board be-
tween seventy-five and 100 men,
bound, it is claimed, to join the Cuban
insurgents.
The rescued men report that when
the steamer was off the eastern end of
Long Island, she sprang serious leak,
and the water gained SO rapidly on
her that all hands were obliged to take
to the boats.

Absenteeism Has Its Advantages.

The bishop of Antigua, whose death
took place in London on Monday last,
occupied unique position. He retired
from active service in 1879, but he was
allowed by the colonial Office to retain
the income of the see and to do the work
of the diocese by deputy-a very sat-
isfactory arrangement for the bishop.
But it had it's advantages for the do
cese as well, for the dear old man was
able to pay his suffragan and to devote
his own time to collecting an endow-
ment fund against the day when the
government grant should cease. The

LITTLE GIRL PREACHER.
This 1o-Tear-0ld Child Delivers Three
Sermons in One Day.

This 1o-TeaE-0 Old Child Delivers Three
Sermons in One Day.
The little girl preacher, Claretta No
rah Avery, of whom there has been so
much talk in the up-country, is now in
Charleston and has during the last
week been preaching at the Morris
Street Baptist church before large au-
diences, says the Charleston Is. CO
News and Courier. Yesterday the little
girl preached morning, afternoon and
evening and the crowds were larger
than before.
At the afternoon service the church
was crowded and seats were placed IN
the aisles near the platform, and
large number of white ladies were pres
ent. The platform was occupied by the
pastor, the Rev. J. L. Dart; the elders,
Mrs. Avery and Claretta Avery, the
girl preacher. The child, for she is but
10 years old and looks younger, sat in
large chair to the right and scanned
with interest the audience. She has
large, pretty eyes, good features and
a dark olive complexion. Sitting in the
chair her heelless shoes were two inches
T. ON the floor. She was taStefully
dressed in black and wore soft felt
hat. Mr.. Dart, in introducing the little
preacher, said that she had been surfer
ing with bad cold for several days but
was, nevertheless, anxious to essay this,
her second service that day.
Claretta Avery came to the impro-
vised reading desk (the regular one
having been temporarily displaced on
account of it's height, read portion of
the second chapter of Matthew and
made prayer, simple yet complete
a prayer for strength and keener sight,
"Oh, Lord" said this childish petition
er, in closing, "even what we fail to ask
Tor do not fail to give u.s." Her voice
was low and tremulous at first but
when, after hymn by the congregation
she read out the subject of her discourse
1t was strangely resonant and clear
Her gestures were good and her manner
very earnest
Claretta Avery was met by reporter
at the parsonage yesterday evening.
She Is accompanied by her mother, Mrs.
Avery, and they have been staying with
Mr.. and Mrs. Dart while here. Mrs.
Avery said that Claretta was her only
child. Her husband died last spring
Their home is in Washington, d. c.,
but they have been in this state some
time. When asked about the child s
education or training, the mother said:
cit is the gift of the Almighty God.
Claretta has been preaching for nearly
two years now and she is just 10 years
old. We had taught her to read, but be-
yond that she has had no advantages. "
Claretta is perfectly artless child at
home, has a lot of dolls and is running
N and out of the house all the time,
singing, laughing, and playing with
other children. Her command of Ian
guage, knowledge of the Bible and elo-
cutionary powers are certainly remark
able.

Perfect Love.


Look IN my eyes, my Love, and say
goodbye
Love is not Love save it hath made US
strong
To meet stern duties that remorselees
throng
For doing. Men may fail. but you
and
Should be invincible to live or die:
To wage firm battle against sin and
wrong;
To wait-that's hardest, dear-however
long,
For joys withheld, and God to answer
why;
To Danish yearning hope if it be vain
To say good bye, if we must parted be.
Had we but half loved, then we might
complain
Parting were murdered possibility;
But loving, o my Love, so perfectly,
We are beyond the touch of any pain.

REMOVED TEMPTATIONS.
A Thief Gets a Tip" in a Free Metho-

WELL FLEET, Neb., Jan. 29.-Mrs
Jane Houston is the bank presidents
wife who lost diamonds and other
jewelry last night, valued at $50, 900.
Mort Green, whom the authorities
were shadowing as a dangerous sus-
pect, dropped into the Free Methodist
revival meeting just in time to hear
Mrs. Houston explaining,in giving her
experience, that she had discarded
her diamonds and other jewelry, since
she thought it ungodly to wear them.
She said she left all her fnery on her
dresser when she left her house for
church. Green left the church, broke
into the Houston residenc and found
that she had told the truth. He took
everything in sight, and left note
saying he was glad he could remove
temptation from the good woman.
The authorities are after him.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. 29.-F.
Hopkinson Smith, the well known an
thor and traveller, who is at present in
Minneapolis, says that it matters lit
tie that he was misquoted when
charged with saying that the Metho-
dist and Baptist missionaries had
caused the Armenian troubles. What
he meant to say, and what he repeats,
is that there is no doubt that a large
part of the troubles that are now con-
vulsing Asia Minor are due to the
American missionaries, whatever be
their sect. He saws:
''They have continually made war
on the Mohammedan religion and Mo-
hammedan rule, and have encouraged
the Armenians, a people of no nation
atty of their own, to hope for indie
pendence. The revolution is largely
conducted from Worcester, Mass,
where Garabedian, secretary of the
revolutionary committee, has his head
quarters. The Sultan of Turkey is a

Employees ON dhe Panama Railroad

SAN Francisco, Jan. 29-The steamer
Washtenaw from Panama brings news
that when she left the isthmus two
weeks ago therewas prospect of a strike
among the employees of the Panama rail-
road.
The men, chiefly natives and Jamaie-
ans, have been in a state of unrest for
some time past, caused by a feeling that
they are underpaid.
According to the story brought by the
Washtenaw, it would be difficult mat
ter TO get men to take the places of the
men at short notice and if the com pany
did not comply with their demands at
once, there would be a block aiding of
freight that would be felt almost all over
