THE SAYINGS OF CHRIST.
A Leaf of the New Testament Writ

ten 200. A. d. Found in Egypt.
DENVER, COL, Oct. 25.-Dr. Cobern
pastor Of Trinity Methodist Church, who
recently returned from England, told his
congregation last night about the Papyri
Of the 18th Of last January. In the
course Of his remarks he gave out a
piece OF information which is new to
the world.
1t was that in the loggia that was un-
earthed by Messrs. Greenfield and Hunt,
under the direction of DIR. Flinders Pet
rie, Of Oxford University, in Egypt last
January, there was found beside the
note book leaf containing what pur-
ported to be the sayings Of Jesus Christ,
leaf Of the New Testament. The leai
contained nearly the whole of the first
chapter OF Matthew, and was written ex-
actly the same rs our Greek Testament
of to-day. DR.. Cobern said that the fact
that one leaf Of the Bible in the ancient
library which was unearthed was suffi-
cient proof that the people of that day
were in possession of the teachings Of
Christ and the Christian martyrs who
were prosecuted in those days surely
COINED their beliefs from the Bible.
The leaf was discovered among two
tons OF papyri sent to England by DR..
Petrie. The discovery was confided to
DR.. 'Cobern, when he paid a visit to DR..
Pctrie at Oxford University three weeks
ago, and last night was the first the
world knew Of it.
"Thelp is no doubt as to the genuine
ness and the date OF these findings"
said DR.. CoEern. "Such critics as Pro-
fcssors Harnack and Thompson have
passed upon them, and declare that they
could have written later than POO A. d.,
and it is well established that the abbrc-
viations and other characters which APP
pear on them were copied from writings
of fifty years earlier"

sEAFORD.

SEAFoRD, Del, October 25.-The storm
in this vicinity is terrific, the severest
since 1876 Great damage has been done
to stock and crops. Trees are uprooted
and blown across the highways, making
travel impossible. In several localities
the peach orchards are completely
destroyed. Unusually high tides have
caused the Nanticoke river to overflow
the immense causeway and travel to
Blades, a suburban town, is made by
boat.

SEATTLE, WASH, Oct. 25.-Only the
merest chance and the lucky discovery OF
the half-hidden trail by one of their mum.
Der saved six members OF party, headed
by P. L. and Julius Trippe, from a hor-
riblc death by starvation on the Dalton
trail late in September. The party con-
sisted of the Trippe brothers, formerly OF
Chicago; Charles Wilkes, Of Whatcom;
Charles G. Dugas, miner from juneau,
John Fry, of this city; and W. Gillies, Of
Woodman, prospector living at Fort
Wrangel. They left Dawson City for
the States in small steamer August 2s,
and after reaching Fort Selkirk, pre-
pared their outfits for the long and ardu-
GUS journey over the Dalton trail. A
week after leaving the Yukon River they
encountered a deadly Alaskan blizzard.
The trail was covered with snow and
they lost their bearings. Their provis-
ions gave out, and after cropping for three
days through binding snow storm,
they were finally rescued by Indians
and taken to Dalton, a trading post,
where they obtained the first real food
they had had for nearly four days.
After resting for two days they resumed
their march for the Chilkoot Pass and
reached the end Of their journey without
further mishap. All Of the men were
weak from their sufferings, and it will be
several days before they are restored to
their accustomed strength.

GEORGETOWN, DEL, Oct. 25.-What is
perhaps the worst storm that ever pre-
vailed along this section Of the Atlantic

One of the best liked officers in the
employ of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company is c. H. Brickwedel, Jr.,
purser Of the steamship China. He is
likewise one of the oldest associates
connected with this company, having
begun his service as storekeeper on
March 2, 1878, on the 'scld" steamship
China. He subsequently was connected
at different periods with the Alaska,
the Dakota and the City of Toxic.
In July, 1880, he was promoted to
freight clerk on the Toxic, which was
afterwards lost in 1885 In September,
1886, he was further advanced, taking
the position of purser on the steamship
Starbuck, and also served in the same
capacity on the China. He was sub
sequently transferred to the City of
Picking in March, 1892, and finally to
his present position on the China in
January. 1895.
His success is somewhat identical
with that of other progressive men in
the steamships service. Starting at
the lowest position he has made his
way to the very top of that portion OF
the steamships service with which he
is connected No man in the service
stands higher in the estimation of his
fellow passengers, or in that of his en-
pIoyers, than Mr.. Brickwedel, and it is
said of him at headquarters, that he
has never made mistake in his &C.
counts.

The board OF regents OF the university
held their second meeting to-day and a
full board was present The whole day
was consumed hearing the reports Of
the president and directors OF the ex-
perlmental station. The presidents re-
port. which is over 100 pages in length,
covers fully every phase OF the unlVer-
glty work and is chock full Of good rec
concentrations. He recommends the
extension OF the grounds and the erec-
tlon OF a wing to the main building. As
the last legislature made an appropriR-
ton OF $4,000 for this work, It will in
all likelihood be done this summer.
The president also makeS recommen-
dations whereby several more instruc-
tori viii be added to the faculty. The
most important OF the recommendations
is one concerning the establishment OF
Tn independent school OK history and
political science, thereby relieving DR..
Reynolds, professor OF metaphysics, OF
the work. The regents were aware Of
this need Ssfore they came and there iB
no doubC thaS they will follow the pres
ident's suggestion In the matte.

which he forcibly explained the need of
assistance on the part Of the state in the
running OF the station.

Handicapped by the failure OF the state
legislature TO make any appropriations
for the work, and has had to depend

Is considered n nice piece Of diplomacy
on the part OF Dr. Myers to have Dr..
