RELIGIOUS FANATIClSM.
Mon and Pastor Defy tho Laws of Health
For the Rite Of Baptism

Lowell, Mass, Feb. 17.-With the water
freezing upon them during the ceremony.
Rev. w. A. Morang baptized two men in
the frigid Merrimack yesterday morning
just before noon.
The service was held on the bank of
the river at the foot of Staclkpole street,
just below where the Concord joins the
Merrimack, causing a current that keeps
the river free from ice there at all times.
Above the union of the rivers heavy ice
stretches from shore to shore.
fierce wind bleak, raw and chilling.
drove across the river. fresh from the
snow-clad hills to the northwest of the
city. About a hundred of Mr.. Morang S
parishioners and nearly as many more in
terested spectators braved the cold to
witness the ceremony. Included in the
group was party from the Young Mems
Catholic Institute, looking on curously.
There were some present who were at
first inclined to jeer. but one and all
grew silent and reverent in the presence
of the sublime faith that led pastor and
proselytes to endanger their lives
The candidates showed the high pitch of
eXaltation they had reached by the rapt
look upon their faces. They were carried
on and up by the fervid words of Mr..
Morang and by an apparent consciousness
of right doing.
Even when the time of extreme agony
came the candidates lost nothing of their
courage. Almost torn asunder bv the ter
rible shivering that followed the shock of
immersion, they yet smiled as though
enjoying more exquisite pleasure, more
paradisial delight.
The scene was full of horror to the ay-
erage onlooker, who could not apprecia e
the feelings of the sufferers.
Rev. w. A. Morang is pastor of the
Union Free Baptist church, which holds

ABOUT THE NORTH POLE.
What Scientists Have Agreed Should
Exist There.

Scientists and explorers have concluded
that there is permanent ice cap at the
pole like an inverted tea saucer of a depth
OF one or two thousand feet If this Is so,
1t would have been impossible for Nan
sens ship, the Fran, to drift to or across
the pole If channel does exist between
tho ice cap and Franz Josef Land, then
the Fran might take this northern coast
and drift to the Westward, and finally
come out to the North of Spitzbergen, and
come South with the drift ice between
Sptzbergen and Greenland or along the
east coast of Greenland. If Nansen has
been successful he may be travelling slow
ly Southwark on the route he took in the
Fran to the North. The new Siberian
islands are visited every summer by ma
tives from the Northern Siberian manila nd
for the purpose of looking for fossil mann
moth tusks, which are unearthed by the
spring Hoods These natives store their
finds and In the winter, when the ocean Is
a solid highway of ice, they take their
sleds and bring back their treasures SELL
ing them to the traders at Kolimsk and
other points along the Siberian coast. And
news travels with amazing rapidity among
the natives of these Northern coasts. The
rumor Of the finding OF belong was taken
by natives from the Lena Delta to South
ern points along the vast river two or
three days before the couriers with the
official dispatches passed the same places.
1t is quite possible then that the Tonguse
or Tchukchees who have arrived In Ko-
limsk are the bearers of good news, in
which case DR.. Nansen is returning to the
Siberian coast though his ship may have
been lost.
Since December, 1898, nothing definite
had been heard of DR.. Nansen of his ex-
petition, though on Sept. IS, 1895, advices
from Angmagsalik, on the east coast of
Greenland, stated that a ship. supposed to
be DR.. Nansens Fran, had been sighted
in the drift ice off Sermiek Point, on the
east coast of Greenland.

The SEASONS COOLEST.
MERCURY DROPS 40 DEGREES BE-
Low ZERO IN SOME PLACES.
A Change of IS Degrees in Is Hours
Coolest Ever Known In February in
Boston-Freezine in Alabama
Many Records.

Boston, Feb. 17.-This was the coolest
morning of the winter throughout many
sections of New England, while some
points recorded a reading uneQualled for
several years.
The lowest reading is from Fort Fair
field Maine, AZ below zero. Other points
report thermometers ranging down to 3(
below. In Boston this morning it was II
below zero.
The cold wave which descended last
night came from the far north where ex-
tremey low temperatures were reported
Saturday night and Sunday morning. To-
day nearly the entire east half of the
country is under its Influence, the excep-
ton being the Atlantic coast southwark
from Hattcras.
Temperatures below 80 degrees extend
over the interior as far south as Mont
gomery, Ala, and the region north of
the upper Ohio valley Is covered by below
zero temperature, with the lowest (3S be-
low at Rockcliffe, Ont
The minimum reading at Boston al be-
low beats all records for the month of
February since the establishment of the
station and comes within two degrees OF
the lowest registered in the history OF q
local office.
The most surprising feature is the tenn
perature of two degrees below zero, which
occurred at Nantucket and this may be
the coolest ever known there.

by implication.
Judge Powers gave several instances of
the curious working of the old blue laws

an Rhode Island, which is one large
workshop, an Infusion of Vermont blood
will do good. Vermont raises more stall
wart men and virtuous women to the acre
than any other State in the Union. We
Vermonters believe that IL Vermont had
been selected as the Garden Of Eden man
would never have fallen"
Col. Clarke thanked Gov. Lippitt for the
kind words in his speech for the State,
and said that the highest possible compli
ment that a Vermonter could pay a State
was to leave his own Vermont and go
there to live. He thought that the day be-
ing dedicated to St. Valentine he ought to
drop into poetry as relief from tariff
statistics, and he proceeded to give a
number of examples of the work of the
poets of Vermont, a State which, besides
agricultural products, also has more poets
to the square inch than any other in the
Union.
He also read a poem composed years
ago by Judge Powers during the trial of
a dry case over the possession Of a do
nestle animal. AS tho Judge had handed
to the lawyers the rhymes he composed on
the bench. he was able to read from the
original manuscript. Judge Powers looked
guilty, but Col Clarke pleaded in his de-
fence that 1t was his only surviving Of
fence. l'inaSy he read piece of his
own composition. All this poetry was Of
more or less merit and the frequent pas
sages made the speech of the noted writer
on the tariff of unusual interest.
He was fol- ,@ed by Col. Wyman, who

Dclivorance from such a miserable conditios

Deliverance from such n miserable condition.
by the use of Paine's celery compound has
caused men and women from every section OF
the United States to write sincere. hearty words
of praise and thankfulneSs for this grand in
,vigorator. People enjoying perfect health some
times wonder at this feryor: but whoever has
suffered from prostration OF the nerves, of
which nsonnia is one OF tho symptoms, will
understand how hard it Is to overstate the tor
ment of this condition. And whoever has been
made completely well by Paines celery COM
pound feels that no words can overstate the Joy
and gratitude such person feels.
This is the, state, or mind OF thousands of
nervous. sickly, broken down persons who have
used Paine's celery compound and been made
well.
Mrs. Sample tells OF the happy result in the
case of her grandchild. One OF the most con-
s%picuous instances OF the remarkable power of
latnc's celery compound over debility Is shown
In the relief it has afforded children. OF
course the dose is adapted to the age of the
little patient. The compound purifies the blood
and corrects any tendency to constipation.
Pale: puny children are made vigorous. rosy,
and healthy by this Incompatible remedy.
