MINsTRELs MONDAY NIGHT.

Gorton's Minstrels are to appear at the Audito-
rum next Monday evening. They give genuine
old-fashioned minstrel show. A good reputation
precedes them. The company entertained the
legislators at Montpelier last week. and the Jour
nal Of that place gave the performance high
praise as being head and shoulders above most
travelling minstrel shows" THE singing was
way above par, the Jokes were crisp and fresh,
and the finale, A night at the circus, was rdcu-
lousy funny"
The Burlington Free Press said OF the COM
panY's appearance In that city, 1.-THE first part of
the performance was the typical old fashioned
minstrel show, and such was well received.
The second part was devoted to specialties Of
which the work OF Kennedy and Wonder, gro
tesque comedians, was the best, and was indeed
excellent. De Witt Cooke showed himself an ex-
pert with the clubs, and the musical team were
accorded several encores -

New Mail Service.

The United States post-office department
issued an order Oct. %, permitting the
postmasters at this office and the East vii
lage to exchange mails more frequently
than the contract for carrying them re-
quired. The matter was laid before the
department at the request of some of our
citizens who thought under the existing
circumstances our local mail service could
be improved. The order went into effect
last Monday. The railroad company has
kindly consented TO carry the mails during
the eight months remaining on the present
mail contract. When our people come to
realize that they are receiving practically
as good mail connection as the other office
and that the outer world is in many in
stances several hours nearer, then they
must think IL is not done without much
extra effort on the part Of the postmaster
at this as well as the down town office.
To those who are not already aware Of the
many advantages of the new arrangements
we will mention some of the most promi-
nent. On the morning mail arriving here
at by the cars you receive all the mail
from the late train from Boston and New
York, including the Boston evening pa
pers, which formerly did not come until
the noon mail, but are now in your box at
the same time that they are being delivered
by carriers at the East village. The mails
will be received at 1855 p. NJ. and $3.50 p.
NJ, and delivered at 1920 A. NJ. and 1:15 p.
NJ. as heretofore. In the evening pouch
at this office is put aboard the 1880 car,
which allows time TO answer letters re-
ceived on the regular evening mail. let
tiers going in the 1880 evening pouch, are
| despatched to the 1910 train north, arriv-
ing in Boston at $50 or Springfield, Mass,
at 1880 next morning. The evening mail
at this office will close at 1925.

ABOUT THE SUZERAINTY.

Particulars OF tho Treaty Giving England
Control Over the Transvaal's Policy.
The suzerainty which England claims over
the Transvaal, which Germany appears to
question or deny, rests upon convention
concluded in London In 1884 between the
British Government and the Government Of
the South African Republic.
When the Trausvaal secured its National
independence, In 1881, by the peace OF Pre-
toria, it was given complete freedom In
making and administering its own laws
But the right of regulating and superntend-
ing the relations between the Beers and
the native population, the adju-tment OF
frontier questions with resident and neigh
boring tribes and the control Of foreign re-
lations were reserved by the Imperial Gov
ernment under the new term OF the "Suze-
rainty" of Queen Victoria.
By the London convention OF 1884 this
suzerainty was whitfield away to single
point-to the privilege Of controlling and
directing the Transvaars foreign rela.
tions. The Boer Republic was required
to submit to England for her approval
any treaty entered into with native
tribes outside the Transvaal. or with
foreign Nations, the Orange Free State ex-
cepted. II no objections arc raised by the
British Government within six months, the
treaty goes into force without English sane
ton.
1t will be seen that under this treaty, az
long as it subsists, Germany cannot enter
into any secret treaty with President Krue.

A Pretoria dispatch says it is reported
there that the Transvaal Government has
demanded the Punishment from the country
OF Cecil Rhodes and DR.. Jameson. and the
payment of large indemnity by the British
South Africa Company.
The editorials of the leading British papers
are unanimous in lauding the generosity and
prudence of President Kruger. and assuring
him that England appreciates them a. their
full value. Ali of the papers will praise COL
onial Secretary Chamberlain for his course
throughout the difficulty.
The lectures to Emperor William are gen
orally repeated in the London papers. The
marked cessation of the hostility OF
the press OF Germany toward England
is ascribed to the British Govern
ment's preparations for war, which
are highly commended on all sides. The
Central News is authority for the statement
that Lord Salisbury has notified the German
Government that Great Britain will main
lain the rights in the Transvaal secured to
her under the convention of 1884. at all
costs. ..

There are two distinct classes Of prayers;
one in which the prayer IS tho product OF
determination. and the other In which Ii is
the product OF impulse. Broadly classified,
PRAYERS are stated and spontaneous The,
stated prayer brings 'us 4habtually and de-
signediy to the throne Of grace. The spon-s
taneous prayer carries US thither only In
moments of special need, when the petition
springs unprecedented TO the lips, throb obbing

guidance, or solnce. .ls d =. II E !. 2
Now the question which every Christian
must, sooner or later, determine for himself.
is. whether we will pray for prayers sake,
stately and faithfully, OF only at such times,
as he NAV feel special and immediate need
OF Divine help This is a serious question
with many Christians at the present time
The habit Of stated prayer is last falling into
neglect in certain quarters, and many an
otherwise faithful disciple is wavering, In The,
general tendency to neglect personal prayer

mediate need l..'sg-Ef,. ~ :. i;
That this is dangerous and unwholesome,
tendency, we firmly believe. For, first 1t would
narrow prayer to single function. He who
prays simply when he is in need, Is doing
hardly more than the infant who cries
when II IS hungry. The intercessory function
is the only Que called In play. This is the
kind of prayer that breaks even from the in.
hders lips in moments Of eUgency and peril.
It is merely a kind of,refex spiritual activity
like the spasmodic closing OF the lids te5

Prayer has something more than this single
restricted function to- fulfill: For, In the 500,
ond place, it Is divinely intended to render az
we'll as receive. It Is an act Of worship as
well as an act of intercession. And the spirit
nal fruitfulness OF prayer lies almost entirely
in this broader function of worship. 1t is
simply natural to pray under the stress OF
great and sudden need whereas II is spirit
ual and religious to pray habitualiy and
faithfully as an act OF worship to the Supreme,
Being. ~
In answer, then, to the prevalent question,
::When hall we pray?"- meaning how often
we reply. 'sPray stately and feryently, as
an a,t of worship to God aud means Of
spiritual culture" This is the grand and
true function of prayer. 4 mere spasmodic
cry for the thing we utterly need, is not
necessarily a religious act at all though It may
be-according to the nature and spirit OF the
request. But prayer as worship Is always
noble, and holy, and spiritually uplifting. II
we could obey the injunction, "Pray without
ceasinn." that would doubtless be the way OF
nearest approach to God; but since there
must be always some Intervention Of worldly
care. and such things as, though rightful In
themselves, may not quite comport with the
atmosphere of prayer, let US build altarshere
and there along tho daily path Of life, where
we may kneel betimes, like pilgrim at his
shrine, and offer up to the ever listening God
the sacrifcial homage of grateful and ador-
ing hearts. .a....
