Sunday instead of resting. Thousands
of them are employed en- the railroads.

prominent before every Sunday-school
worker First, Bible study. Let us
have a revival of Bibles in our Sunday
schools and never let the lesson leaves
drive the Bible from the Sunday-school.
An increase of Bible study will result
in REVEALS in our Sunday-schools.

normal lesson on ..The Life of Christ"
He made some statements in regard to
the condition of the world at the time
of Christ. and also spoke on the topic of
why -Four Gospels?'' showing the wis
dom of the plan in having four writer's
of the gospels, instead of but one.
AT the close he exhibited large chart

CHILDRENS SERVICE.
The children's service at o'clock was
the great feature of the convention.
Long before the hour the little ones be-
gan to gather at the entrance of the
church, and the crowd became so great
that it was found necessary to seat them
temporarily in the basement When the
hour came for their service they crowd
ed into the auditorium in such numbers
as to force out all others.
Messrs. Sankey and Stebbins led the
children in a service of song, and were
followed by an address by Mrs. George
c. Stebbins. She prefaced her remarks
by calling on Mr.. Sankey to lead in a
brief prayer, the children joining in re-
peating the Lords Prayer in concert
Mrs. Stebbins chose the Twenty fourth
Psalm and a part OF the Third and
Fourth as her lesson, who shall as
cend into the hill of tie Lord. and who
shall stand in His holy place? He that
hath clean hands and a pure heart"
She followed with a very simple and
practical talk, using childish illustra-
lions to enforce great moral lessons.

ters the most efficient blood depurent
and anodyne to rheumatic twinges known

behalf is more positive and conclusive
than that which proves its efficacy in rheu-
matte complaints. 1t is also conspicuously
efficacious for maiarial, nervous, bilious,
dyspeptic and kidney disorders. 1t pro-
notes appetite and sleep, and is particu-

results.

Lucinda Blue Made a Desperate At
tempt at Suicide.
Lucinda Blue, an old colored woman,
who has resided in Sacramento for the
past thirty years, widow of the late
Daniel Blue, made a desperate attempt
to end her own life yesterday.
She is nearly 90 years old, and her
health and mind have been falling for
some time, to which fact is attributed
her act. About $3.50 o'clock yesterday
morning she gashed her throat with a
razor, penetrating her windpipe, and
also made long, deep cash in her
side. The loss of blood was so great
that 1t is feared she cannot recover.

THROUGH THE AIR SHAFT.

"1n the hot nights, with the windows
into the air shafts all open," said New
York fiat dwellcr, I'VE hear the voices
OF old and young in all sorts OF tones
and molalations, and speedily become
used to t!lcm and pay no attention to
them: they are part of the routine of
life 10 which we become accustomed,
as We do to the sounds of the streets, to
the rustling of trees or the flow of
waters. But suppose you wake up in
the night III intense quiet; your own
air shaft windows wide open and all
the rcstrthc same. The voices you
heard IN the evening now are stilled;
there i.'no sound. Then you hear the
striking of a clock, and then you hear
moro clocks; some close together, some
far apart, but no two striking together,
and they are as different in manners of
stroke and sound as they are in time;
there are no two alike. There are
clocks with a sharp, quick, shrill
strike, clocks with a slow cathedral
gong, colorlcSs clocks. charming clocks.
medieval clocks of the kind they made
forty or fifty years ago-you know
them by the strike, Gothic in pattern
and perhaps with u picture of Melroso
abbey or something of that sort painted
on the door under the clock face. Iron
clocks, wooden clocks, marble clocks,
onyx clocks, nickel clocks, all sorts of
clocks, old and new, rise before the
minds eye as they tell each it's tale of
the passing time, and when they arc
all done there comes after an interval
one more, n deep, ponderous, distant
boom, and after that comes silence
again."

HIS HORSES AND DOGS k,LLED.


B4Hange ProvHsAoulo % -
~ AnAal Ers W0l.
At Bridgeport, Conn, . provision in
the will Of Francis Ives was lately car
ried out, his fine horses and well-bred
doggy having been put to death,
says. the New York World. Mr..
Ives was a distinguished member Of
the Fairfield county bar and rich old
bachelor. Rumor had it that when he
was young man he fell in love with
the beautiful Miss Julia Jones, daugh-
ter of Rev. and Mrs. Henry Jones and
granddaughter of Noah Webster. Mr..
Ives proposed to Miss Jones and she re-
jected him. Afterwards she married
Rev. Thomas Beecher, brother of Hen
ry Ward Beecher. From the time of
her marriage Mr.. Ives separated him
self from the society of women. He
owned a fine stable of thoroughbred
trotters. Two of them, Prince and
Gypsy, were his greatest favorites, and
as he speeded them he seemed to be
forgetful for the moment and happy.
He owned a kennel of pedigreed point
ers and settlers and he was an enthusi-
astic hunter. Mr.. Ives died last winter,
leaving a large estate. His will made
his lifelong friend, George Hayes, his
executor, and, outside of few small
requests, left his whole estate to his
sister, Mrs. Whiting, of New Haven.
But the eighteenth clause of his will
betrayed Mr.. Ives intense affection for
his horses and doRs-an affection
which, necessarily diverted from it's
first object, had conferred itself on
them. In this clause Mr.. Ives directed
his executor, Mr.. Hayes, to chloroform
to death all the animals that he might
own at the time of his death in the
month of June first following that
event. In explanation of this act of
seeming cruelty Mr.. Ives wrote in his
will:
II fear lest my dogs and horses will
fall into the hands of some one who
will not treat them kindly"
Mr.. Ives was well known to be a hui
manc and llind-hearted man. His exec
utor considered his order binding upon
him.

Longevity in Philadelphia.

That quietude conduces to longevity
seems to be demonstrated by the record
of longevity in Philadelphia, a matter
on which the city prides itself con-
siderably. During the first half Of this
year the obituary columns of the
Ledger contained death notices of 234
women and 100 men who had lived to
or beyond the age Of 80 years. The
greater part Of the deaths were Of resi-
dents of Philadelphia. Thirteen women
and twenty-six men lived to or beyond
the age of 90 years. The extreme ages
reached were 90 years by one woman
and 90 by three men. One colored man
has n record all to himself. He was
John Gibson, wcll-lnown character
in Philadelphia, who died on February
Q at the home for aged and infrm col
orcd people. He claimed to be 100
years old, but the most authentic infor-
nation made him out to be 1T, which
was accepted as being probably cor
rect.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 9.-Inquiry
into the right of the California Rail
road Commission to alter freight
rates was resumed this morning in
the United States Circuit Court At.
torney Robert T. Hayne for the Com
mission, argued as to the admissible
ity of testimony taken before the Con-

claimed that the evidence taken and
dispositions taken before them we're
revelant. Nothing about that evil
canoe was informal or haphazard.
The officers and directors of the com
pany have given their testimony and
the public was entitled to the benefit
of that evidence now. Attorney Her
rim for the railroad commended that
the evidence given by railroad off.

An Easy Headache Cure.

A good cure for headache lies in the
simple act OF walking backward. Just
try it some time ifyou have any doubt
about it. A correspondent says: Il
have yet to meet a person who didn't
acknowledge it's efficacy after trial.
Nobody has yet disco vered or formu-
lated reason why such a process
should bring certain relief.
physicians say that it is probably
because the reflex action of the body
brings about a reflex action OF the
brain, and thus drives away the pain
that, when produced by nervousness,
Is the result Of too much going for
ward. AS soon as you begin to walk
backward, however, there comes n
sensation of everything being reversed
and that is followed by relief. The
relief Is always certain and generally
speedy. Ten minutes is the longest
have ever found it necessary. An
entry, or long, narrow room makes
The best place for such promenade.
You should walk very slowly, letting
the bail Of your foot touch the floor
first, and then the heel-just the way,
In fact, that one should, in theory,
walk forward, but which, in practice,
Is SO rarely done. Besides curing ner-
VOWS headache, there is no better way
to learn to walk well and gracefully
forward than the practice of walking
backward"
