Ed. JOURNAL: Rev. G.. W. Gran.
Miss pulpit reply to "a request by letter
, from one of his members asking his
advice with reference to voting where
the Sunday question is involved, was
In substance as follows, that he Gran
nis) was at home every day from morn
lug until noon and could be consulted
about such questions at residence on
Church street.
We often hear the remark that his
tory repeats itself, and there may be
something in that. Well do we re-
member when the above heading
(Dodged Again was telegraphed over
the land and published by the press.
This refers TO the time when Blaine
professed to be Prohibitionist In ac-
cOrdance with the sentiment of his
own state, but when he cast his ballot
he voted with the rum power. Thus
we get the words, ''dodged again"
How strange IL is that cOwardice
crops out in all the walks of life, so
many men not wanting their neigh
bOrs to know just where they stand on
many important questions. Politi-
clans for years have studied how to
construct sentences that would mean
little or much and II thought best to
dodge issues The time is ripe to
abandon false faces. The one thing
above all others that gave Bryan his
nomination was the fearless, unhesi-
tating uncompromislng, undeceiving
manner in which he placed himself |
on record with reference 90 present |
Issues. Such unlocked for declarations
nearly took the breath from the |
convention and broke up all the plans
made by the old wheel horse wire
workers. The great need OF the hour
in all the walks OF life (the pulpit
not excepted) is for men that
will not finch or dodge vital ques-
tions, especially where the teaching
of Christ and the Word of God can
be brought to bear on such questions,
and more especially former utter
ances. Some one says the nomination
OF Bryan has split all the political
parties. In my opinion, the necessl-
ties OF the hour demand IA general
upheaval of political parties, that the
oppressed may be heard. Would IL be
too much to suggest, that where our
leaders and teachers dare not express
In a public manner their opinion on
such a question, as the observance OF
the Sabbath, may il not be time that
the conflicting elements In the
church (much OF It. caused 10y too
great anxiety 10 increase the member
ship roll for personal interests), be
broken up, so that Christian people at
east, may know where each stands? [
The conflicting element in the church /
Will never work in harmony. The re-
suit OF which can be found In large [
number OF so-called do.nothings, that
would gladly work II the hlndrances |
,ould be removed.
1t Is a pitiable condition, TO say the I
east, when our leaders and teachers c
iare not go step in advance Of the '
corrupt influences of the day.

DOG BROUGHT THE PARDON.
A Convict Who Won the Governors
Confidence Through His Dog.

A Convict who Won the Governors
Confidence Through His Dog.
It was dog that brought liberty to
a convict in the Kentucky penitentiary
recently, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The intelligent brute acted as a mes
senger between Governor Brown and
the felon, carrying the pardon in it's
mouth from the executive mansion to
the prison, and, after gaining admit
lance, to the recipient of the clemency
himself. The dog is the property OF
the governor, and the convict is o..
G.. Garden of Louisville, who was SEN
fenced two years ago to serve a term
Of eight years for manslaughter.
For some time Garden has been en-
ployed as ''trusty" at the executive
mansion, doing chores and running err
rands. The dog, fine speciment Of
the shepherd breed. is a family pet
and is unusually intelligent.
1t was part of Gardens duty to look
after the animal and they came to be
fast friends. When the prison doors
"SiO cpSAiCu III ulilS the COlIlC
was there to meet his convict friend
| and accompany him to the mansion. At
night he returned with his striped
playmate to the grim portals.
When the pardon was made out 1t
was suggested that the dog be permit
ted to carry the welcome freedom to
his devoted friend. The paper was en-
closed in a stout envelope and given
to the animal, which was told to go
to the penitentiary With a wag of
its tail it left the mansion and ran
down the old accustomed route to the
prison. A telephone message appraised
the guards of his coming and he was
admitted without delay
Garden was in the yard patiently
awaiting the arrival Of the governors
messenger, never dreaming that the
dog had been selected. Catching sight
OF the well-known face, the dog ran
up to the convict and laid the envelope
at his feet. The glad cry OF happy
surprise that the overjoyed prisoner
gave vent to on catching up the Off
ciai envelope and tearing it open was
re-echoed by succession of Joyous
! barks from the four-footed harbiuger
of good tidings.

Hurricanes In West Indies.

In the West Indies, where hurricanes
are frequent and destructive, they gen.
orally originate in the tropical regions
near the inner boundary of the trade
winds, and are caused by the vertical
ascent of column OF rarefied air, whose
place is supplied by rush of wind from
the surrounding regions, set into gyra-

CIGARETTE SAVED HIS LIFE.
At Least Such Is the Story Told by Z
HI Hume.


III. Hume.
Christmas day remarked a tall.
athletic-looking man in the corridor of
the Fifth Avenue hotel (speaking to
New York Times writer), always ex-
cites in my mind emotions of the ten
derest sympathy for the cigarette"
The man proved to be E. II. Hume.
He said he was from England but
claimed New York as his home.
1T was just six years ago." he said,
that | was with the English army
in Upper Burmah and a week before
Christmas I found myself taken down
with black diphtheria. There had been
an epidemic of the disease in the town
and vicinity and /, always susceptible
to contagious diseases, was one of the
first in the regiment to take it. Every
day l grew worse. until the surgeon
finally gave up all hope and told me
that / could not live twelve hours
longer. My comrades bid me good-by
and few Of my intimate friends, fell
lows from my own home, stayed with
iiO " tSii ING iolhS HOW L udu pdSS6u
my last hours on earth.
MY throat had Secome so swollen
that was in great pain and the phlegm
had collected to such an extent that I
could not speak. Breathing had be-
come all but impossible.
II knew that l had but short time
TO live and as last request asked for
a cigarette.
1T seemed to be the only thing on
earth that l wanted. The surgeon re-
fused to give me one, but young
Irishman who knew how fond was Of
smoking took one from his pocket, say
ing that 1t would not possibly hurt me,
as was already dying.
He held it to my lips and / inhaled
lot of smoke, which thought would
choke me. Instead OF that the smoke
poured out and brought with it the
whole mass of phlegm which for week
the surgeon had tried his best to re-
move. The ciga-9tte was the only
thing, possibly, that would have served
the purpose. In four days l was on
my feet, well man, and | have never
had days sickness since"
