Wanted the News.

Brick" Pomeroy was at one time en-
gagged in Milwaukee as city editor of
the News. A hotel at Lake Michigan
resort seven miles from the city caught
fire and burned to the ground. The
other Milwaukee papers reported the in
cident at great length, but the News had
no mention of it. Pomeroy called in his
only reporter and began to reproach
the unfortunate staff. But, Mr.. Pome-
roy" urged the writer, Il have a good
excuse for failing to get that" Darn

after four months captivity, he was
let go. He rejoined his regiment, which
was then at Brandy Station, but his
health had failed, and he was sent to
the hospital. He continued his work as
a speaker for the Christian commits
sion in many cities of the country, and
returned 10 the ministry when the war
was at an end. He was now sent to
Portsmouth, O., where he improved his
opportunities by building "a handsome
church. Later he took up church ex-
tension work, and travelled for 16 years
in that cause. AS secretary of the mis-
sion board his work was nothing short
IF marvellous. He had an absolute genius
Tor collecting money for missionary pur-
poses, and was sent back to his labors
In that field in 1884, and still holds that
post. He predicted when first he en-
tered the missionary service that the
Methodists should have $1,O0O,000 for
missions. His prophecy is now a fact.
In four years he raised debt of $4,000
from the Metropolitan church in Wash
ington. He is an earnest, jealous,
virile man, light-hearted as child and
gentle as a woman

WILL DEMAND REFORMS.
The Terms on Which the United States
VIII Settle Chinese Outrages.

A New York Herald, special from
Washington says: The United States
will demand more from China for the
ontrages upon American missionaries
during the riots of year ago than the
payment of money indemnity. 1t has
been practically decided to demand the
Inauguration of such reforms as will
prevent a repetition of the outbreaks
in the future. The two demands will
be made simultaneously, and probably
within the next few days. The depart
ment is waiting for report from Con-
sui Hixon at Shanghai, before taking
action, and this is expected to be re-
ceived at the department by almost any
mail.

He is now rounding his Goth year, and

Water and Typhoid Fever.

The relation between water and ty-
phoid fever is strillingly illustrated in
Naples. In 1887, when we'll water was
still drunk, there were 46S deaths from
that disease, while in 1898, when the
