Mr.. Willard j. Hull, who recently
lectured in Buffalo on the "Outline
of the Coming Civilization" seems to
entertain very poor opinion of the
present inhabitants of the earth, and
of the United States in particular.
He says the United States contains
65.OOO,OO0 people, mostly fools"
This remark is not original with Mr..
Hull, as Thomas Carlyle, the Sage of
Chelsea, made the same statement.
Mr.. Hull thinks that modern Christi
anity is curse to the world, and that
it will in time be supplanted py
spiritualism, which, in his opinion will
prove the panacea for all humanity's
ills. Mr.. Hull should avoid too
much notoriety, as he is liable to at
tract the attention of the fool killer.

THE REDMONDS.
A Solid Week of Entertainment
by These Well-knOWn
People.

The Redmond Dramatic Go. have
furnished our people WITH a creditab]e
performance of,some well-known and
time honored plays SO far this week
and will also appear on the boards at.
Masonic hall tomorrow and Saturday
evening, barring aecid destss "a ll y!
and players. N Monday evening Al
gvod sized audience enjoyed the pre-
sentation of Caprice; Tuesday night
they attended in smaller numbers to
see Fogg's Ferry played; last evening
Rip Van Winkle was the attraction
and for the balance of the week we
are compelled to ask our readers to
make use of their imagination as to
the attractions and attendance as we
are yet unimformed on the subjects.
They are above the average of repert-
oire companies who have appeared in
this locality, the strength of the cast
being of course those who have their
names printed in capital letters
on the program -Estelle Red
mond and Mr.. Ed Resmond. The
company should be accorded a lib
eral patronage during the remainder.
of the week and will undoubtedly
draw good houses at any time they
may see fit to re turn to our city, as it
is a patent fact that the Redmonds
are popular in Worthington.
One of the New York city newspap-
ers interviewed number of success
full and we'll kown men and women
the other day to see if they had any
regrets at days misspent, Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson, Tom Reed, DR.. De-
pew, Ward McAllister, Corbett, Lafe
Pence, Ella Wheeler Wilcox and
Mrs Henry Ward Beecher were
among those consulted, and as a-rule
they seemed to be very we'll satisfied
with the past. Some of those ques-
toned acknowledge their mistakes,
but thought these peccadillos served
as guides and warnings for the life
that followed. The fact is. every
body has made mistakes, more or
less, not excepting Moses. But there
is this difference between wise man
and a fool-the wise man keeps his
follies 10 himself. and the fool pub
fishes them to the world. And ther Q
is another difference also-the wise
man changes his mind and thus cor
rects his mistakes, but the fool
never does.

sweet CHARITY.
The Good People of, This City
Contribute in Aid Of the
.& Starving Armenians.
Donations --COmmittee
Appointed--Resolutions
s#%=.<>> Adopted.

LONDON, Jan. 14.-Sir Phillip
Currier, the British ambassador to
Constantinople, has reported to the
Marquis of Salisbury that l3 local
committees to distribute relief in Arm
enia have been established under
consular officers and American mis-
sionaries. He adds that $3.50, 600 to
$500, 900 will be required between
now and the spring to save the Arm
enians of Auatolia from starvation.
The good people of Worthington'
ever willing ito extend the hand OF
help to those in need have at this
early date taken steps to contribute
their mite to the grand total. Sun
day evening last, at G. A. R. Hall, a
union meeting was held, for the pur-
pose of discussing the Armenian
question and a very harmonious and
enthusiastic expression of sympathy
for the suffering people was given
The meeting was called jointly by
the Baptist, Methodist, Congregat'
ional and Presbyterian churches, and
a sermon was preached by Rev. Put
nam, pastor of the Methodist Church
Following the sermon, the different
pastors spoke of the condition and
needs of the suffering and prosecuted
people and general collection was
taken for their relief. The amount
of these contributions was in the
neighborhood of $500.
The Armenians in Asiatic Turkey
are the chief sufferers, as indicated
by reports, both by the burning OF
villagec and inhuman butchery'
The members of the adherents of the
Armenian Church has been estimated
at all the way from two and a half to
seventeen millions of people, but,
however, the number in the territory
where the persecution is going on
is not far from million.
We who are in the enjoyment of
full religious liberty certainly are in
I s-, -,as ID tu uss.d reliaf eth de-
*prived of this priceless boon. The
congregation of Sunday evening
passed appropriate resolutions, urg-
ing our government to do all in its
. power to stop these bloody persecit'
ions and most emphatic endorse
ment was given to Senator Hoar's
resolution on the su bject, asintro'
duced in the United State senate
The amount collected Sunday eve
ming has already been forwarded, but
the need is very urgent and if anyone
still desires to aid in supplying the
need they are requested to- hand this
contribution to either of the CON-
mittee-Mr. A. c. Hedberg or Mr.
J.C. Thom-and it will be promptly
sent forward. -

During the severe rain storm which
prevailed greater part OF last night,
the No. shaft house at the Tamarack
Junior mine was struck by lightning,
but the damage done was nominal. The
lightning struck on the roof on the east
side of the building and started a fire,
which was easily extinguished by the fire
pumps at the mine, so that it was not
necessary to turn in a general alarm.
The hole burned was about three feet on
side. The fire occurred about o'clock
this morning -Four years ago the same
building was struck in about the sa me
place, and in one case at least he old
adage of lightning never strikes in

A Piece OfHistory.

The following clipping was taken from
the Marquette Mining Journal of July
20, 1898:
1t is now in order for the people and
the press OF this peninsula to howl about
the sacred rights OF pig iron, to accuse
the rest OF the United States of a deem
and diabolical conspiracy to deprive iron
OF its hereditary dignity az one of the
money metals OF the world and TO insist
that the mints shall issue pound chunks
OF pig iron stamped Five cents Free
coinage OF pig iron with it's circulation
enforced by making it legal tender up TO
at least ten ton lots il what this PENN
sula wants to make it overwhelmingly
prosperous. Such demand il not more
ridiculous than the talk from the silver
states about the sacred rights OF silver.
The Mining Journal demands that pig
iron be given its sacred rights, az out,
lined above, right away"
The News blames no man for change
OF heart or opinion; most honest men (of
course this would include the Mining
Journal EDITOR are liable to it, but il
fails to see how the silver states have
obtained any more sacred rights" since
1893 than they had then.
