Clothes for Gods Volunteers,

NEW YORK, March 20. - The
young ladies, members OF Balling-
ton Booths new army, have been
greatly excited over the announce
ment that the uniforms OF Goods
American Volunteers" would be OF
seal brown color.
When the samples Of cloth were
first brought to the room in the
bible house, devoted to the trade de-
psrtment Of the army, they were
sharply examined by the women.
Then there was whispering which
grew loud and louder until finally
it broke out into open revolt. The
fair soldiers admitted they had
one worldly weakness left and that
was touched when they were asked
to don a color so unbecoming.
They were joined by the men who
said brown trousers would be more
quickly ruined by knocking around
in the streets than those OF blue.
After much elaboration Com
mander Booth rescinded the order
for the brown cloth and his aides
ara now looking for suitable cloth
Of a cadet blue color.

German Arms for America,

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 2O.-A
formal application from promi-
nent organization in this city to
the emperor of Germany for arms
and ammunition for use in this
state, and the answer of the Ger
man minister of war to such re-
quest, is a most unusual affair
and has just been learned. The
Deutsche Krieger-Verein, an or
ganization of Germans, who had
served in the war of the rebellion
in this country, and afterward
rendered their services to the
fatherland during the Franco
Prussian war, made the requisition
for arms six weeks ago, especially
desiring to secure some of the same
guns they had used in their SER
vice as soldiers for use in firing
salutes over the graves Of their
dead comrades. The answer was
received today in the shape Of a
letter from the German minister of
war explaining that owing to the
lack of weapons suitable for the
occasion none at this time could be
sent.

presidential contest he said: 81
think Mckinley will be the repub-
lican nominee. The Wisconsin
delegates will be for him, Of course
Minnesota, / suppose, will be for
Davis, but think that Mckinley
will be second choice. l believe
that IL a split comes after the first
few ballots Mckinley will gain
strength. The Pennsylvania, New
York and other leading delegations
will not hang solidly when the
break comes, but Mckinley will
get his share Of them, and with his
large original strength he Will

dinance was passed March 8, and
is known as the ambulance ordi-

that every physician having a per-

Italy Unsettled.
New YORK, March 20.-A spe-

says: King Menelik demands for
peace 100000 louis from Italy.
This condition is, of course, I'M

NEW YORK. March 20.-A special
to the Herald from Cairo says:
Your correspondent called upon
Lord Cromer, but he declined to
express any opinion as to the situa-
ton. The assumption Is that he
knows very little Of the scope Of
the movement. 1t is known that
the order for the advance was a
surprise to him. With the ex-
perience gained through Wolseley's
dilatory vacillating tactics in the
Khartoum campaign before, the
British war office it is pretty GER
tain that this expedition will be
called forward with sharpness and
precision, but it is not at all prob
able that serious advance will be
made upon the very threshold OF
summer.
The Soudanese and Egyptian
troops at Wady Halfa may be
pushed on to Akasher, while the
English contingent will conCen-
trate at Wady Halfa and organize
for work. When cooler weather
sets in the columns from the Nile
and from Suakin can make a com.
bined advance upon Obdurman,
but the guardians OF Khalifa Abb
dullah know something Of British
tactics, and may not wait for the
cooler weather program.
Fully 5000 dervishes are re-
ported afoot and ready to fight.
The massacre of Italians at Adowa
filled them with warlike zeal and
the fall of Kassals will infiame
them with fanaticism. They may
take the iniative and may fall upon
the advance column of the Nile
and crush it, even before the main
| support can reach Assouan. AL
| though the natives are all discon-
ISOLATE at the prospect Of war the
English in Cairo are elated. Scores
of young men in civil places are
striving for permission to join the
forces and several English women
have volunteered for hospital SER
vices. The prospect Of fighting
creates much enthusiasm among
the British.
Mrs. Constans Knowles has is.
sued an appeal to Englishmen here
on behalf OF fund for prospective
widows and orphans.
Many serious minded observers
predict that the attempt to carry
out Englsnd's long matured policy
In the Soudan will provoke Euro
pean war, inasmuch as 1t will az
ford Russia and France the pretext
which they have been gearing for.
The war correspondents of the Lon
don press are rapidly concentrst-
ing here. The troops in Cairo are
taken by rail to Chireheh where
the Cook steamers receive and car
ry them to Assouan.
The North Stsffordshire regi-
ment is booked to make the trip

is said to be elated over the pros

In this design the center group of
thirteen stars, representing the thir-
teen original States, are arranged in
exactly the same form as they appear
upon the Great Seal of the United
States.
The circle containing twenty three
stars represents the States which were
admitted to the Union up to the close
of the civil war.
1t is intended that these two features
in the desigu should never be changed.
The first great event. which brought
our flag into existence, and the Sec
ond great event. which has made it's
life doubly secure. should both be rep
resented upon our national emblem.
The outside circle of nine stars rep
resents the States which have been
added to the Union since the civil war.
New stars can be added to this circle
without changing the general appear

The Possibilities of Young rlan's

Two things would change many
young mans life and make many a
commonplace, if not unworthy life, to
be TRANSPORTED and made sublime
Those two things are, first, recogni-
ton of the purpose and possibilities Of
life; and secondly, an earnest deter
mination, resolute decision to give
ones self to their realization. Many
a young man who wastes his precious
evening hours has never found any
thing to work for, any goal to try to
reach, anything for which to exert
himself If he had an object in life,
it would draw him out and make
man of him. If he had a motive. he
would be changed. What he wants is
a noble aim or purpose, then reso-
Lutte determination to accomplish it.
How shall young man realize the
possibility OF life2 By recognizing it
first; then by recognizing the measure
and limits of life There is working
day of life, for ''the night cometh
when no man can work There must
be earnest decision to reach the goal;
and above all there must be the recog-
milton of God, who sent us into the
world No man car, raoch the hi0h
est possibilities of his life without
thought. earnest work, resolute self
denial. and strong. faith in God. A
man must realize that life is
more than meat and the body than
rainent. Then setting his eyes on
heaven, ard looking to God in Jesus
Christ, he must say my hope is in
thee. Let the young man ask him
self has he reached this experience; is
he trying alone. unaided. proud in his
conscious might, or is he owning his
weakness and drawing his strength
from God. If he is doing this, then
he may not see all the possibilities
realized on earth; for God may mean
something better for him than tempo
raj success. But in eternity the pur-
pose of his life will be seen to have
been secured; he will not have lived in
vain. ]. w II. BUsEY.

DANGER IN early aIalna.


A Doctors Theory That tbs Habit Helps
to Make People Issane.
DR.. selden II. Talcott, The medical
superintendent Of the Mjddletown Stste
Insane asylum recently, started The the
CRY that nothing oondueed 81 much 70
insanity as early rising.
III proof o. his assertion Dr. Talcott
calls attention to the relative frequency
with which farmers, their wives. sons
aud daughters become insane. The cause
Of this has hitherto been thought to be
their isolated lives, their hard work and
perhaps the excessive nse q PIE and po-
tatces.
On the other side, il has always
seemed 10 Dr.. Taieott and other eminent
alienists that there fnnst b sono other
deep seated eause 81 insanity among the
farming classes than pie and potatoes.
Farmers have always pure, fresh air ia
abundance, which city folk seldom have,
they are less liable 70 mental and nsrv-
Gus strain than city folk aud also less
liable to infectious diseases aud the bad
effects 81 alcohol.
DR.. Taleoft's view, after q careful
consideration of the advantages and dis
advantages CT farming life a. predfg-
posing cause II insanity IS that Il Is the
excessively early hours Ct rising which
increase insanity iii the rural districts

urban rate. He thinks growing chill
