DESDE MADRID

Fin estOs d1as 81 que nan sloo
fundados los rumores de crisis.
El indulto del joven insurrecto
don Oscar Zubizarreta, propues-
to en- Consejo de Ministries por
el general Azcarraga, fue motive
para que el Ministro de la Cue
rra presentase aver su dimision al
senior Canovas.
Zubizarreta es un nino, cuenta
apenas veinte amos. Enardecido
por las luchas actuales de su
pafs. SO escape de su casa y SO
fu6 q la insurreccion Estuvo
en- ella tres meses. Cogido pri-
sionero fu6 condenado q muerte
por I'M conseio de guerra y el Sc
nor Azcsrraga SO ha sentido pia-
doso ante ese pobre joven y le ha
indultado.
La prensa, q exception de EI
Liberal, esa prensa que es capaz
de dar por un extraordinario Glen
vidas, ha censurado agriamente
al senor Azcarraga, y 6,te, impre-
sionado por tales censuras, ha
puesto q disposition de gu jefe la
cartera que desempena. El Sc
nor Canovas no ha aceptado es-
ia dimisi6n, y la crisis ha sido
copjurada.
Contestaudo & las censuras de
la prensa ha d;cho el senor Cano-

Al gobierno le pareci6 oportu-
no conmutar la pena de Zubiza-
rreta, porque aparecieron en- su

Coming of Pennies.

1t is not generally known that all the
minor coins of base metal, such as
pennies and nickels, are made at the
Philadelphia mint, and that nearly
100, 0,000,0 pennies are coined there
every year. This large number is oc-
casioned by the fact that thousands of
pennies are lost annually, and the gov
ernment has some difficulty in main
tanning a supply. The profit of the
government on their manufacture is
large. The blanks for making them
are purchased for 81 a thousand from
a Cincinnati firm that produces them
by contract. Blanks for nickels are
obtained in the same way, costing Un-
Gle Sam only a cent and a half piece.
Gold is coined in Philadelphia and San
Francisco. Not enough of it comes in
to the mint at New Orleans to make
the coinage of it worth while. Gold
pieces are the only coins of the United
States which are worth their face value
intrinsically. A double eagle contains
$40 worth of gold without counting the
one-tenth part copper.

stumbled ON the track five feet in ad-
vance ofthe car. The company besides
| denying any negligence on it's own part
alleged negligence on the part of the

ANNIVERSARY SERMON.
Rev. MOffat One Year Pastor Wash.
burn street Presbyterian Church.

Rev. John P. Moffatt at yesterday
mornings service preached his first an
niversary sermon as pastor of the
Washburn Street Presbyterian church.
The large audience room was filled with
the membership of the church. Palms
and flowers decorated the auditorium
with beautiful effect. Mr.. MOffatt
spoke for few minutes time prelimi-
nary to the sermon on the work of the
year in the several branches of the
church work. Special mention was
made of the Sunday school under the
SUPPLEMENTARY of joseph A. Mears.
The school has an enrolment of $40,
the largest in it's history. The work
that has been done by officers and
teachers was praised from several
standpoints. The Christian Endeavor
societies, he said. have been steadily
growing. The pastor has attended
nearly every meeting of the Christian
Endeavor society during the year. The
Junior Christian EndeavOr Is In most
fiOurishing condition under the leader
ship of faithful committee. Mr.. Mof-
fatt commended the missionary organ
izations upon their activity along the
lines of benevolent work.
To all he urged renewed ac-
tivity along all the lines of church
work. To those who have been negli-
gent in work or contributions for
church purposes he urged that they
should 60 home and ask God to for
give their sins, and to begin now to
make the next year what it should.
He reported twenty-nine members
having been received: four deaths in
membership; thirteen funerals and
eight weddings. AS text for all to take
with them into the coming year he
chose Pauls prayer for the Ephesian
church. II pray that Christ may
dwell in your hearts by faith. From
this text he drew many strengthening
and beautiful lessons for the guidance
of the congregation in the year to come.
He spoke of the fellowship, the dis
ciples have with their Lord and mas
ter while he was upon earth. OF the
greater faith they had in Him when
He was removed from them; that they
were adequately known who had been
with them until after the ascension.
Our intercourse with the Saviour is
now what that Of the disciples knew
after the ascension. That our nearness
to Christ comes just In the degree of
our faith in Him.
True religion only begins when
Christ is welcomed into human
heart and ruling that heart constant
ly. Some have 1t in their creed, some
on their lips; some have Him in their
heads, but not in their hearts. 1t must
