MIL OE GOD.

The will Of God is like a rope thrown to
US as We struggle among the untamed waves:
To remain independent is to repulse all
succor, all salvation it is to wander without
a compass and without chart through
the fury of the storm. To obey the
storm, to advance against the confed-
crate waves. to let ones self be ire
sistitly drawn toward the invisible harbor
where our Heavenly Father awaits US. Obe-
dience is duty under all its forms. Obedience
is faith and resignation. Obedience has for
its watcEword, May Thy will be done /:
which means, Il will fulfill it when l am
strong: will accept it when am weak"

OMSIPOTEST.

There is One who cannot be deceived. He
sees through our prayers and under our
broad phylacteries. He looketh upon the
hear-He trieth the reins. Though we
make our own nest in the highest clefts, yet
will He bring us down. At the sounding Of
the resurrection there will be shaking of
of gold dust and tinsel men will come out
of their graves and blush when they read
their own epitaphs. Then shall we sce face
to face and know as we are known. The
play will be over. the footlights out, the
costumes laid away. the playhouse shut.
No more acting! We shall stand forever
more in the clear light Of God.-Darid j.

The English. Markets

LONDON. March 22.-The stock market
has been very dull for the week, and the
chief business has been in investment se-
curites. The continued cheapness cf
money, the proposed Nile expedition, and
the irritation displayed on that account by
France, has had an adverse effect on the
markets generally.
The result of the bimetallic debate in
parliament caused a weakness in silver &C.
curities. Mines were inactive. American
securities were still depressed on CONNER
cial troubles in America.
The decreases of the week were: L. & N.
and Northern Pacific. 3s4 per cent; Read
ing. firsts, 2%; Erie, seconds, 2; Atchson,
fours, Denver, preferred, and Wabash,
skies, ~, Union Pacific, l; other de-
creases were fractional.
The Manchester market has been fairly
active all the week at full prices. Yarns
showed a better margin and spinners were
more independent. A considerable east
ern business was again concluded. Home
users are buying more freely. There are
fewer Idle looms and full prices are insisted

Develop.
PrTTsBuRG, Pa. March 22.-If sturdy
old Samuel b B. Morse could step into the
lower floor of the Carnegie building today
he would need all his nerve and probably
good stiff dose of old Monongahela rye
into the bargain TO keep him from faint
ing. Even in his most visionary moments
the inventor of the telegraph never
dreamed that the genii to which his mighty
brain gave birth more than fifty years ago
would ever soar to the heights of perfec-
ton in the control of the lightning shown in
the new offices OF the Postal Telegraph
Cable company occupied for the first time
today.
The new office is located in the upper
half of the first floor of the magnificent
Carnegie building on Fifth avenue. 1t is
new throughout, not an old instrument or
bit of furniture in it, and everything is of
the latest and most improved patterns,
Pneumatic tubes extend from the delivery
department to the receiving department
and do away with the necessity for all
running back and forth. The operating
room has accommodations for over 100
operators and is one of the most modern
in the world. The Use of typewriters in the
operating room is hobby with the postal
company. No provision whatever is made
for pen or pencil, every operator being re-
qured to receive all matter on the type
writer.
In the rear of the room are quadruplex and
duplex sets and the repeating tables which
are among the most wonderful and inter-
esting features of the whole Office. Near
the repeating tables is the switchboard,
where all the wires center, and upon
which it is possible to make something
over 900 connections.
The electrical equipment of the office
was fitted up under the immediate super
vision of the company's local electrician
and chief operator, Thomas H. Hughes.

ings were held in the opera house and Odd

Red Key Green Glass company is making
a non-union fight, strike having been

SALISBURY REPLIES
International Arbitration Sentiment Grows
Stronger Day by Day

International Arbitration Sentiment Grows
Stronger Day by Day
LONDON, March 22.-Lord Salisbury has
sent reply to the memorial in favor of
Anglo-American arbitration of the
Venezuelan question adopted by the
Peace society recently. The reply is adj
dressed to Right Hon. James Stans1eld,
who presided at the meeting. Lord Sails
bury says:
II am glad to be able to inform you that
this question is receiving the consideration
of the government and that proposals in
the direction indicated by the memori al
are now before the government of the
United States"
The Daily News LiberaD had an edito-
toriai on Lord Salisbury's reply to the me-
mortal of the Peace association in which it
says:
Lord Salisbury's letter s the most hope
full word we have had for long time from
the premier. We hope that it portends a
definite clearing of the international ques-
ton in one of the stormiest quarters. We
may even dream that it will presage new
and brighter era in the worlds history. 1t
is not perfectly clear whether the question
has been advanced q stage or whether the
govern nent has merely confirmed and
adopted Lord Rosebery's policy. If Lord
Salisbury is able to convert his words into
deeds he will go far to make his present
term of office ilustrious and beneflcent." !"
The Chronicle, also Liberal, re-echoes the
Daily News, and hopes that the United
States will reciprocate our good will. "If
so," the Chronicle adds, "there IS no need

Remarkable Ii True

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March GA special
to the Times from Guthrie, o. T., says:
News of a most remarkable occurrence
was received here today from Beaver
county. At the little postoffice town of
Grand, the Baptist congregation is build
ing rather commodious church contain
ing a spire seventy-tive feet high. The
woodwork on the steeple was completed
Thursday, and on Friday morning James
Ford and Harry Somers, painters, were
employed to paint the spire. They
began working from the bottom to the top,
using circular scaffolding. Yesterday af-
ternoon at 4 o'clock while Somers and Ford
were giving the finishing touches to the top
of the spire thunder storm came up, ac-
companied by fierce flashes of lightning.
The two painters were seen making efforts
to lower their scaffold when q terrible clap
of thunder and binding flash left
the clouds and struck the spire,
knocking away the scaffolding,
splitting the spire and leaving Somers and
Ford pinned to the roof dead. To add to
the awful scene, the clothing of the men
was ignited by the flash and for ten min
utes the bodies were seen burning and
smoking in midair. Heavy rain finally
eXtinguished the flames, and three hours
later the remains of the men were brought
from the steeple, charred and burned al
most beyond recognition. Every hair on
Somers' head was gone, but there we're no
other evidences of the lightnng's bolt on
the body. Ford's body was badly bruised
and lacerated.

The French ambassador, Baron de Cours
eel, had a long interview with Lord Sails

The conference is supposed to have dealt

foreign affairs, is an unusual occurrence
and this leads to the suppostion that the
subject of Baron Courcels call was an i'm.
