Congress to Be Invoked to Aid Men Who
 Were In Bondage.
 An organization of ex-slaves was effected at Topeka the other day by 50 colored men for the purpose of making a demand on congress for pensions. It is the purpose to make it of national scope. Of those in the meeting fully one-third had felt the lash. The aged, the lame and the blind were happy in the belief that all they will have to do is to write to congress to get national relief for their distress.
 The idea originated with an old col ored man named G. ". Charles, who presided at the meeting. There are pos sibly 1,500 ex-slaves in Topeka. They will ask pensions in the following sched- ule: All over 70 years old to get $700 ill cash and $15 per month thereafter i; all over 60, $600 i'll cash and $12 per month; all who were over 5 years old at the time of the emancipation, $500 and $5 month; all over l year old at the time of the emancipation, $100 and $1 a month.

tween cold, intellectual. Chr;stioss =, lieion and tho warmth and sympathy of the Christian religion? =
 The dead Journalism and cold ;ntolz iectuallty of Buddhism may do for tbe morning of life, whom hope fills inc exs ultant heart and no cloud obscnrss tLo horizon of youthful vision. bnt when tL . heart IS burdened with grief, tie eyes heaVy With unshed tears and bearino our dead, shall we seek an intellectual Duuaha or sympathetic Christ? True. the child must die again, but the moth CT r's heart is filled to overhowinp with unalloyed happiness, and, after all. this pure happiness should be the ultimate ann ot all religions, and though the law oI He be death, yet Christ has rolled the stone from the grave away and opened wide the portals of the sky. As followers of Christ we should make the world falrer, happier than we found it.
 Nowhere is this helpful sympathy and love moro clearly manifested than III tho story of the mount of transfau- ration, where his disciples knelt in pros trate awe as that light that never was on land or sea illumines the Holy One. Turning from tho radiant scene of the transfiguration, Jesus came down the mountain side and, amid that multitude that waited his coming i'll the hate and rage filled valley below, he found q poor, devil possessed lad, afflicted from childhood, shrieking and writhing in anguish. An intellectual Buddha would have passed him coldly by, for the pool wretch was repulsive and horrible to look upon, but the pitying heart of the gentle Saviour was moved, and Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up.'
 You and | are instruments which God must use to consummate his plans and carry out his infexible purpose. All powerful though he be, he needs youl help and mine to hasten the dawning ot that perfect day when the kingdom of Christ shall prevail. The want of sym pathy peryades society. We do not know each other. Draw nearer, clasp hands, recognize tho struggling soul, the lone- y, tho estraeized, the fallen. Seek for the good and you will find the good. Discover the best ill each soul you greet resolve that i'll will, fault finding and hatred shall find no place in youl thoughts, speech or actions. "-New York Journal

Dr. Booth Has a Watch Stolen and Re.
 turned Because of a Forgotten Act.
 Dr. Booth of Crest1ine, O., who is a member of the G. A. R., not long ago had the unpleasant experience of having his pocket picked while i'll saloon ill that city. He lost his gold watch and other yaluables and reported his loss to the police, who made an arrest for the crime, but failed to get the right fellow.
 The other night an unknown man, muffled to the chin. called at the doc. tors homo after midnight and inquired for tho doctor. He asked him if he were not G. A. R. man and told him he had come all the way back from Pitts burg to return the gold watch which had been stolen as soon as he found out from pal that he had robbed Dr. Booth.
 1t seems the doctor had done the man favor on one of the battlefields during the war, and as soon as he found it was this man he had robbed he hastened to return the property. Before the doctol could recover from his astonishment over the means of recovery of his prop erty the man was gone Dr. Booth says he doesn't remember what favor he could have done this man, butshe is glad to get his watch back.

A Kindergarten Warrior.

The young king of Spain has just re- ceived his first military uniform. In view of the profound regard and wish for peace on permanent footing express ed by all civilized governments at this stage of the world, 1t is somewhat odd commentary on this desire that it is the general custom for embryo princes to be- come soldiers before they are men. The creation of military instinct in the future rulers is certainly not the quick est way to hasten the time when war and all it's attendant horrors will be re- garded as q relic of barbarism. .-Balti- more American

Where the silent preachers are, Men of peace or men of war, Strong to influence the hour, There are placed the men of powerl Not from senate, church or hall.
 But some office, small or rude, Come the words which shall enthrail Or inspire the multitude. They who wield persuasive pen Over thoughts and lives of men, Not to hundreds speak each day, But to tens of thousands theyl Lord of wisdom, make them wise, Let thy light reach from the skies,
 God guide the pressmeni Make them noble men to dare; Make them pitiful to care Make them strong for truth to fight; Let them know and love the right. Yet when duty says, Restrain,
 May they conquer self and say Naught to stir up strife and pain, Brave in silence then be they. Give them, old and young, clear eyes For the light. God make them wise, For they are the men who lead Other men to thought and deed. Let them write thy words and be Leaders of the crowd for thee.

Necessity for Libel Reform.

Libel reform Is supreme neces-
sity in Pennsylvania and in most
of the states of the Union, says the
Philadelphia Times, and one Of
the most essential reforms is to
confine criminal actions for
libel to cases in which there has
been criminal intent or action,
and to confine civil actions for
damages to the recovery OF COM
pensation for injury actually sus-
tanned, as is the law in other
cases. 1t is only just also that
but one civil or criminal action
should be brought for libel, and
that where the offense has been
committed, instead OF allowing
indefinite criminal and civil
actions in every state and territory
of the Union, as is now the law.
The present libel law is the last
dregs of the dark ages Of despotic
monarchical power, and it must
bow to the enlightened advance
ment of the age.

past. He says the prisoner has rare
native ability and a liberal education.
According to Inspector Coulter, DIR.
Hammond was born in Montreal in
1871. He married early, but his wife
died young and he entered the priest
hood. He subsequently had charges
in the other churches mentioned. He
lost church in Montreal and is said
by his Boston Nemesis to have forged
the recommendations which secured
him place in bank. In 1855 he came
to the United States and, Mr.. Coulter
says, he settled in Yreka, Cal, as pas
tor of a Baptist church, married a
member of his congregation and in
sured her life. This is asserted to
have been a practice with him. He
subsequently is said to have secured
policies on the lives of different wives
at Indiana Valley, Ind, Melbourne,
Australia, and New Haven, Conn. An
other wife, Mrs. Broclway, widow of
a wealthy physician at Franklin Falls,
n. H., was taken suddenly i'll, but re-
covered. Hammond, it is charged,
had $4,000 of her money in his posses
sion, but returned it on the agreement
that he was not to be prosecuted. He
was arrested at Macon, Ca, and Savan-
nah, Ga, on charges of fraud in real
estate deals. From 1890 to 1894 Mr..
Coulter is unable to trace Hammond's
movements. Something more than q
year ago he began the practice of medi-
cine at Hallowell, Me-, and built up a
large patronage. He ordered medi-
cines largely and then. it is said, sold
them to others without first having
paid for them. In the latter part of
November he was taken in charge in
New Orleans on complaint of those
with whom he had transactions in
drugs. Hammond has lived and pur-
sued his various professions on three
continents. Inspector Coulter is au-
thority for the statement that he has
had six real or ostensible wives in ten
years. His many adventures win not
bear publication for general circ~2a-
ton.
