The sydney Daily Telegraph of Feb. 81.
says OF the Meetings Held by I-ev.
Mr.. Yatman:

''Three weeks ago Mr.. Yatman
came to Sydney perfect
stranger. Now look at the mon
ster audience he has attracted"
The speaker was Mr.. d. Walker,
the general secretary of the Y. NJ.
g.. A, and the occasion was his in
Producing Mr.. Yatman to an as
semblage of fully 1000 people
who had gathered to hear this gen
tleman. During his mission in
Sydney the visitors audiences
have been growing larger each
day, and his brief period of labor
in the city promises to be one of
the great events in the religious
calendar. Mr.. Yatman halls from
America-frOm the State of
"Newuk." He is a live" power
full man. He speaks with the ac-
cent of his country. He always
has more matter for his addresses
on any given topic than the time
available will admit of his using.
AS he puts time limit on his dis
curse, he always seems terribly
concerned whether he will be able
to say all that he has to say. AS
his message is important, this
makes him seem terribly earnest
in emphasizing what he does say.
He bristles with anecdotes and IL
Illustrations. These, of course,
have to be given in the fewest
words possible. This makes his
anecdotes pithy and witty, and his
illustrations intensely vivid. And
he obviously believes in the max
i'm of faction, action, action, for a
public speaker. His audiences
find themselves swept along with
him, and in the end, perhaps not !
a little to their own surprise, they |
are all rounded up and converted,

Yatman is powerful speaker is
but tame way of describing his

Plea For More Elegant Diction In
Referring to Confirmation.

Mr.. EDITOR:-In your issue of this
morning there appears the following
paragraph: Confirmation services were
held at ST. Andrews Cathedral yester-
day. Twenty-Five males and eight fe-
males were confirmed"
Confirmation being looked upon as a
solemn rite, touching and pertaining to
our higher spiritual nature, would it
not be more becoming to speak of those
engaged in it's services as men and
boys, women or girls?
Were confirmation simply related to
physical conditions, the objection made
would not be so valid, but even then
the expressions being equally applied
to the lower animals as well as man,
they could with greater fitness and GER
tainly with more elegance of diction
be replaced by the nobler terms men
and women.
1 am, sir, yours obediently,

In his department entitled "The Prog
ress of the World" the editor of the Re-
view of Reviews makes a suggestive
comparison between the Spanish and
American navies Of the present day. As
against the five frst-class battle ships
Of the United States now afloat Ito say
nothing of the four in process of con-
struction, and the six others already
ordered), Spain has but one battle ship;
while our navy has about twenty YES
sells adapted for port defense, Spain
has only one; in cruisers also the United
States is far in advance of Spain. All of
which goes to show that Spaniards can
hardly know what they are talking
about when they assert their preference
for war with the United States rather
than the acceptance of mediation in the
Cuban trouble, for such war would of
necessity be chiefly on the sea.

Ali information is to the effect that
tide OF immigration will sweep into
Minnesota this year unparalleled in the
last half dozen years. The greater pro-
portion OF these are people coming from
the Eastern and Middle states and some

On Sunday night, during the fierce
thunder storm and while it was raining
in torrents, large barn belonging to
Samuel Beidleman. in the extreme south
part of the CITY, in the rear of his resi-
dence, was struck by lightning and to-
tally DESTROYED, together with contents,
including quantity of hay and straw.
The barn Was good frame .struature,
and well worth $500. It was insured in
the Royal Insurance Company for $500.
The fremen were called out, but could
render no effective service as the burned
structure was beyond the reach of any
hydrant-the nearest being at the KEEL

GREAT SHOW RETURNS.

There are not many attractions on the
American stage strong enough to fill
an engagement in Wheeling for three
nights in January and return one
month later and do the enormous bus
mess and delight the audience as a
Country Merchant" did at the Grand
Opera House upon the opening of its
return engagement last night. The
company and play remains about the
same as when seen here before, except
that Miss d. Varnon succeeds the
former leading lady, and her addition
is an improvement very marked. The
play is a pleasing portrayal of Yankee
life. and Charles COwles is a leading
exponent of the Yankee dialect come
dian. and as "Eban Baxter" has a
character which fits him exactly. The
quartette is extraordinary, and their
songs are pleasing features OF the en-
tertainment. Baby Lillian Claire is
undoubtedly the cutest child actress on
the stage.
