THE MYSTERY OF A YEAR.

A little while, year agone,
/ knew her for romping child.
A dimple and a glance that shone
With idle mischief when she smiled.
Today she passed me in the press,
And, turning with quick surprise,
wondered at her stateliness,
wondered at her altered eyes.
To me the street was just the same,
The people and the city's stir,
But life had kindled into flame,
And all the world was changed for her
watched her in the crowded ways,
A noble form, queenly head,
With all the woman in her gaze,
The conscious woman in her tread.

The famous City Temple of London,
over which DIR. Parker is pastor, now
has Christian Endeavor society.
The pledge is hard to the conscience
that is hard.
Louisville Endeayorers are planning
to take up slum work.
Often Christian Endeayor is ''for
Christ" by being for the church.
A prayer meeting for the meeting
sake is good, but meeting fer the sake
of souls is better.
When your weekday companions say
"Amen" to your prayer meeting testi-
mony, the angels glory in your words.

To Be Dedicated April 27, Next, Under Auspices of New York City
 Mckinley to Be Present.

New York, Dec. 2S.-At the suggestion of General Horace Porter, President or the Grant Monument association, the board of estimate today appropriated the sum of $50,000 to pay the expenses attend ing the dedication of the Grant monu- ment on April 27 next.

 In his statement to the board, General Porter said that the ceremonies should be under the direction of the city au- thorities. as the dedication of the monu- ment is to be distinctly a city affair He said that the association would turn over the amount to the city on the day of the dedication and then their ofhcial connection with the ceremonies would cease. General Porter said that the to- tai cost of the monument will be $600,- GOO, the largest sum ever raised by popu- lar subscription for such a purpose All of this money except $18000 is said to have been contributed by citizens Of New York in amounts ranging from l cent to $5,000. He further stated that President elect Mckinley had agreed to be pres ent at the ceremony, and that all the members of the cabinet, the diplomatic corps, the legislature, governors Of states and mayors of all large cities ought to be invited.

AN IRISH LANDSLIDE

Which Has Already Proven Fatal, and
 Daily Growing Worse.
 Dublin, Dec. 2S.-A landslide has oc- cured near Baltimore, County Kerry, doing great damage to property and causing the loss of at least nine lives. Heavy rains have fallen in that part of Ireland lately, with the result that some places that are generally dry now re- semble vast morasses. Near Baltimore there is an eminence about 1000 feet high known as Boy Hill, and it was there that the landslide occurred. The rains gradually loosened huge mass of earth and on Sunday night apparently with out the slightest warning, 8 large part of the surface of the hill began to slide toward the valley. Gaining momentum as it moved, 1t swept downward with a roaring sound, carrying rocks, trees and everything before it for miles. In some places the path of the landslide was a mile wide,and as it moved along it buried everything, entirely changing the aspect of the section over which 1t passed. The residence of MT. Donnelly, steward of Lord Kenmare, one of whose seats, Kill larny house, was engulfed in the mass of earth and debris, and all of it's occupants, MT. Donnely, his wife and seven chill dren, were killed. It Is supposed that the house was swept from it's foundation by the crushing mass, overturned and buried to great depth. As its present locality is not known, it Is hardly probable that the bodies will ever be recovered.
 All the farm animals on the place were also buried, and there is now scene of utter desolation where on Sunday stood the neat dwelling and out-buildings of MT. Donnelly.
 The movement of the landslide was to the southwest in the direction of the river Fleck, into which large portion of the earth slipped, blocking it up. The current of the river was employed in running dynamos, which furnished light for the Kerry lunatic asylum, and some buildings in Killarney. The blocking of the river rendered the dynamos useless.
 The part of the hill where the slide be- gan was bog, and much of the earth that moved was very soft. Huge quan- titles plunged into the river, and there is danger of the back water flooding the country around. There have been no re- ports of anybody missing, and on this is based the belief that there was no loss of life outside the Donnelly family.
 The matched roof of the Donnelly house was found floating in the river.
 The bog is still moving this afternoon, but no further damage can result, un- less it be the more effective damning of the river.

THE MAJAH,s CABINET.

Politicians Seeking Recognition for
 Friends of Important Folios.
 Canton, O., Dec. 2S.--Senator B. O. Vol colt spent two hours with Maj McKin- ley today and departed in very happy frame of mind.
 q came to Canton" said he, "as chair man of the committee of five appointed by the republican senators in caucus to draft a bill to carry into effect that plank of the St. Louis platform on the subject of international bimetallism. The bill meets the hearty approval of the Presi- dent-elect. It authorizes the President to appoint delegates to an International monetary conference when such a meet ing shall be called. ,a63everal European sentiment in favor of further recognition of silver through international agreement Is spreading abroad. There may be a con- ference within a short time after Maj. Mckinley is inaugurated." ss
 Senator Wolcott talked of number of other topics and remarked that a pro- nounced anti-silyer man with a record of opposition to bimetallism would proba- bly, not be looked upon in the west with favor as secretary of the treasury.
 here today declare there is active opposi- tion to the appointments of ex-Gov. Mer- riam, of Minnesota, to the, cabinet and that if he were appointed Senator Davis would oppose his confirmation.
 Frank s. Witherbee. an active factor in New York politics.. spent half sn hour with Maj. Mckinley. He said the re- publicans of New York had united-in ask ing for the appointment of Mir. Bliss to the cabinet and declared MT. Platt would be the next senator from that state. Mrs. Maria $.

VICTORY FOR THE SANTA Fl

Oskaloosa, Kas.. Dec. 2s.-The cele- brated suit for a receiver for the Santa Fe property in Kansas was decided here this afternoon by Judge Lewis A. Mey- CTS in favor of the Santa Fe company. The gist of the decision Is that the act known as the alien land law, under which suit was brought, does not apply to railroads, and that the right of way of a railroad company Is not real estate in the eyes of the law. The other ques- tions of law raised by the attorneys on both sides were not passed upon by Judge Meyers. as he held this point alone was sufficient to end the litigation. The decision is complete victory for the Santa Fe. The attorneys for the plaintiff will at once take steps to carry the case to the Kansas supreme court on an ap- peal. They will also make an effort to get the case reopened in this court on a new point suggested by Judge Meyers decision that the right of way of the Santa Fe is held not to be real estate. Every effort will be made to get speedy
