Muta and Warren Willis all took part in
resolutions passed by the Convention.
Rev. S. w. Lake addressed the school
upon educational lines. He spoke
very highly of the public school educa-
ton, fitting the young for business lives,
comparing it with the Sunday School as
fitting them for spiritual lives. His re-
marks were very interesting and enter
tanning.
The church was beautifully decorated
with flowers, etc., suitable for the occa-
sion. The voluntary by the choir is de-
serving of special mention, and all the
music was well rendered. An orchestra
OF eleven pieces furnished fine music.

believe that if pastor Of fashion
able church were to denounce any partic-
ular play as positively immoral it would
very soon disappear from the stage A
very large percentage Of the ordinary
plavgoers are commandments Of the
churches, and a we'll considered con-
domination Of play would certainly in
jure It's popularity. Christian people"
would not think it respectable" to sit
through a play which had been con-
demned by their spiritual pastors. All
that is needed is little more minis
terial courage with regard to the stage,
and it Will very soon be seen that tho
pulpit really possesses more power in
this direction than it ever had in the
history Of the modern drama One thing
is certain--if the stage is left to it's own
devices, il viii become a fruitful source
Of injury to the moral well being Of the

AN ENGLISH JAIL CHAPEL.
A View of tho Prisoners at the Sunday
Morning Service.


After breakfast nothing much happens
until the chapel hour. Now those pris-
on rs who have gone eick' are visited
b. the surgeon or his assistant. and if
the cases are urgent are sent across to the
infrmary at once There is no regular
cell inspection; the governor or his
deputy makes no round; there is no
taking of reports, no adjudication of
pains and penalties for misconduct. All
this Will stand over until Monday; even
those awaiting punishment, unless it is
for outrageous acts of violence OF de-
fanco, turn ont TO 90 with their fellows
to chapel. About 9 80 the chapel bell
RINGS for the first service, that Of the
Roman Catholics who in large prisons
are usually Located or lodged in one
part Of the prison, near their own chapel.
The hell for the Church Of England serv-
ice follows at about 10 a. m.
Both on marching to chapel and when
seated within it the various classes and
categolios Of prisoners are kept strictly
separate from each other. Males and fe-
males approach the chapel by different
roads, enter by different doors and oc-
cupy different divisions, pews or places
apart Among the males, too the con-
victed are kept from the unconvicted
and the debtors from both. The women
are generally seated first, behind n
screen or within "a curtainod Off, rallied
in Enclosure. They are, Of course. visi-
BILE To the chaplain, but TO no one else
but their own officers. Except for their
treble voices heard in responses and
hymns, their presence at the service
would be unknown. Now and again,
however, an attempt TO signal or COM
municate has been tried by individuals
Of opposite sexes; when II dry cough,
pcIs4ateutt IS repeated, in the female pew
finds an answer in another part Of the
chapel, it alToyds a shrcwd suspicion

Tho Gulr stream.

RCma1king upon some Of the geo
graphical charts now available TO the
student Of physical science it is pointed
out by writer that elsewhere in the
world there lis not so majestic Q flow Of
water as tho gulf stream, a remarkable
body having its headquarters in the
gulf of Mexico, from thence flowing
northoasterly along the shores Of the
United states 20 the banks Of New
foundland. Then, rushing across the
Atlantic ocean 10 the British isles, it is
divided into two currents one flowing
northward to the Atlantic ocean, the
other southwark 90 the Azores, and the
velocity Of this immense How being also
more rapid than that Of tho Mississippi
at NeW Orleans on even of the Amazon
at 100 miles cbOye It's mouth. Pheuom-
email, too, is the fact that, although It's
bed and banks are cold water, yet the
vast stream Is very wmm, and so great
is the absence of affinity or c0mmiu-
Cling between these waters that their line
Of junction is distinctly visible to the
eye Further, the waters Of thi, Won
dcrlul stream do not in amy part of their
cour.e touch ,he bottom OF tEosea They
arc defended az the bottom and sides by
what has been termed a trough of cold
water, one oI Tie bost noncouductors
Cusequo ~ vHy little heat is lost,
and the warm water is carried thou
sands Of miles, losing only four degrees
Of heat Oh the journey from the gulf OF
Mexico to the British isles.

The Verdict in Indiana.

The Indiana instructions for Mchln-
ley leave no room for reasonable douot
as to his nomination on the first ballot.
There is no longer any possibility OF Il
combination of the anti Mckinley forces
on Harrison or anybody else and even II
such combination could be Effected II
would not be strong enough To cOnliol
the convention. That is TO say, rs the
case now stands, Mckinley has clear
majority of about twenty over the az
gregate strength of all other candidates,
with the contested delegations conceded
TO them. 1t is impossible therefore, TO
see how he can be beaten. There is
ALWAYS the chance that the unexpected
may happen in politics, OF course, but
the conditions in this instance are not
such rs to justify any expectation OF
that kind. The fact is not TO be doubted
that Mckinley is the preference OF Il
pronounced majority of the republican
party. and nothing is likely TO occur III
the short time before the convention TO
change the situation in this respect
There has never before been contest
for republican presidential nomination
in which one candidate has 50 far dis
tanccd all the rest as TO practically
decide the question In advance OF the
meeting of the convention. Lincoln
was renominated in 1864 with only one
state voting against him, and Grant
secured his two nominations IN 1868 and
1872 without opposition; but in those
cases the conditions Were exceptional,
ana the nominations were simply the
formal expressions of an overwhelming
public sentiment IN favor Of Il certain
man, based upon considerations OF vital
Importance to the country. But it Is
vastly different TINS year Mckinley
does not occupy any Such place IN the
public estimation, or bear any such rcla-
ton to the interests Of the government
as Lincoln and Grant did. Ills caudi-
dacy has been contested at every step
He has been antagonized by some OF the
most Slilltul party leaders. Several
conspiciously capable and worthy men
have competed with him for the prize.
Nevertheless, he has Carried state after
state, until the roll of delegates in
structed to support hum is practically
decisive. His triumph is a notable and
significant one 1t has been won 10y am
appeal TO the people ON his personal
merits and his reputation as a champion
of protection. He is trusted and
admired by all republicans, including
those who have worked hardest for
other candidates, and his nomination
will give satisfaction and be ratified at
the polls in November 10y a tremendous
majority.

While = sun was being loaded Bomb

watch the operation. That finished, he
would jump up and look ont to sea over

But when we stHrctfor the bomb

so. As 1 approached he retreatcd, still
barking and apparently urging me to

In Germany the view obtains that tho
execution of criminals should be by
some means moro certain even than the
electric chair. d.. +. Cuhmann, cele-
brated chemist, suggests the use of car
bolic acid. According to his plan, the
criminal would be carried to a cell,
which can be filed noiselessly with car
bolic acid in gaseous form from floor to
ceiling. When the gas reaches the de-
linquent's mouth and nose it causes in
slant paralysis Of the lungs and uncon-
sciousness, and life departs without pre-

Dangerous Llterature.

Some one has SAID that good books
are Il blessing; all others il curse. III Is
a sweeping declaration, yet in q great
measure true, for there is class of
books that are literally a curse to the
community. The kind Of publication
that may be designated as dime novel
literature is the most dangerous I'M
aginablc, especially for boys between the
ages Of fourteen and eighteen. They
may be harmless for people who have
passed the hree-score-and-ten mark, for
their imagination is not easily inflam-
mable, but for the minds Of youth they
are the rankest poison. How they Vi
tiate the current of life in the young has
been painfully demonstrated in the case
Of three boys, none OF them over eigh-
teen year, of age, upon whom, few
days ago, terrible punishment was
visited by Pennsylvania court.
They were SONS Of respectable. even
well to Go parents, living in happy
homes, surrounded by good influences;
offspring of pure mothers and honorable
fathers I'm an evil hour some cursed
book of the blood and thunder order fell
into their hands. 1t was eagerly read,
then another, and yet another, and so
on, until their imaginations We're all
infamed with the ambition to lead the
lives of desperadoes. They left their
homes one night, and placed obstruo-
tions upon Il railway line with the in
tention Of derailing a train and robbing
the passengers. They succeeded in the
first part of the program, even to the
extent of causing the death of the engi-
neer and fireman, and the serious
wounding of several other persons, but
they failed to rob anybody. I'm time
they were detected as the authors of the
crime, tried and convicted, and few
days ago the court sentenced one of them
to imprisonment for life, ana the others
to penal servitude for forty years
