HUMoRs OF THE JOINT HYMNAL

HUMORS OF THE JOINT HYMNAL. Dr. J. H. Phillips hands the State Her. aid the following, which he clipped from the Edinburg News while travelling in Europe. There is so much practical re- ligion in the piece that it is worthy a place in the scrap-book:
 The genial A. K. H. B. has another in teresting article in the Scotsman on the Joint Hymnal." In the course of his comments, Dr. Boyd says: There is an other quaint hymn which is not here; which I do not believe any mortal pro- posed It will never be in any hymnal. Though it brings the tear to ones eyes, it is quite too unconventional, and the language is what some call Amurrikan. But it's spirit is essential Christianity, and it's literary merit high above half the pieces in the Joint Hymnal. As the reader will never see 1t elsewhere, let him read 1t here. Mozart's beautiful music, beginning the famous mass, will go to it. I prefix suitable text-"And he was a Samaritan"

Help it Along.

Nevada Is getting more advertis.
ing this year through the East than
ever before. The big dailies Of the
Eastenn cities are devoting 4 good
deal Of their space to showing up its
mineral, agricultural and stock rsis-
ingsresources. Thus is sure to do the
State great benefit, as heretofore
these papers have looked upon it as
merely a struggling community of
played out mining camps. They
have piped upon this tune 90. long
that ninety per cent of the people of
the East think that Nevada has no
resources outside of mining and that
her mines are all worked out and
that her few people are almost un-
worthy to be sovereign citizens of
the United States.
This awakening of the Eastern.
press will cause the homeseekers of
that section to turn their attention to
Nevada for the homes denied them
in the overc ,owdeSd cities of the East.
, The indications from every section
OF the State point to greater activity
this year than at any time since the
failure Of the Comstock lode to pour
its millions into the channels of com

ture Of Nevada and should
give her citizens courage to 20 for.

building of prosperous common
wealth.
This cannot be done, however, by
throwing Obstacles i'll the way of
those whose energy and enterprise
have brought capital here and whose
aim is to assist In building up the
stale. If that course be followed
apital and enterprise will be driven
away and seek fields where the Coz
ditiops are more favorable.
The conditions are ripe for a boom
this year and every Citizen shorld do
his mart to help it along. Let us all

DE ARMITT WANTS DEPUTIES.
Makes an Early Call-The Miners on
the March.

Pittsburg, July 29.-At o'clock this
morning Sheriff Harvey Lowrey was
called from his bed and asked to send
deputies to the mines of the New York
& Cleveland Gas Coal company. The
request came from W. p De Armitt.
Oakhill was invaded at midnight bv
a small army of miners from the Rob-
bins mines at Wilcox. They marched
into the village 450 strong. to the tune
of drum and fife. Most of them were
armed with revolvers or clubs. They
said that at least as many more from
Finleyville, Gaseonville and other
points in the Wheeling district were on
their way to Oakhill and would arrive
soon.
The little town is in a great state of
excitement Only few deputies. about
eight or Ten, were on hand, but before
the miners arrived SUPERINTENDENT
Thomas De Arnitt telephoned at once
TO w p. De Armitt at Allegheny to
send more. The Robbins men say that
the De Armitt men viii be forced to go
out this morning. They are determined.
but no violence is looked for yet.
They left Wilcox at 6 o'clock. and
marched steadily for nearly six hours.
De Armitt has an Injunction out re-
straining everyone from trespassing on
his property, and if his deputies try to
enforce this there may be trouble.

SWAT UPRISING.
Caused Government to Use Policy of
Suppression.


Bombay, India, July 2S.-The uprising
in the Swat valley has led the govern
ment TO adopt the policy of suppression
toward the native agitators who in
speeches and through the native press
have for q long time been endeavoring
to promote the spirit of revolt.
In pursuance of this policy, a number
of arrests have already been made and
others are expected to follow.
At Poona two well known agftators
Cidar Balwantran Natu and his
brother, Huropant Ramicunder Natu,
have been arrested on charges of dis
loyalty. A number of houses have been
searched with the result that the police
have found arms concealed, but the
owners had departed for parts I'M
known.

Washington, July 2S.-Public men in
Washington We're generally surprised
when the announcement was made in
the cable dispatches a few days ago
that the question of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty had been raised in the
British parliament in connection with
the proposal to annex the Hawaiian
Islands to the United States, and also
were consequently prepared for the
response of the British government that
the one question was not involved in
the other.
The matter is regarded here with all
the greater interest because both
subjects-the validity of the treaty and
the annexation of Hawaii are under
consideration by the American con-
gress, and both in all probability will
receive attention during the next ses-
sion. The senate committee on foreign
relations. which has already reported
upon the annexation treaty, has under
taken an investigation of the present
status of the Clayton-Bulwer cOnven-
ton and the general expectation on ac-
count of the prediction of the members
u Tic SuD-COHliHltleS having the Qu6S-
ton in charge is that report Will be
made favorable to the abrogatiOn of the
treaty.
1t is understood that a majority of
the members of the committee consider
that England has, by repeated acts in
Central America, nullifed the treaty.
There is also a large element in the
senate which regards the treaty as OBJ
noXious to the Monroe doctrine Others
look upon it as likely, in an indirect
way, to have, through its reference to
the Nicaragua canal, bearing upon
the Hawaiian question. Those of this
class do not admit that there is the
remOtest reference to Hawaii in the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, but they claim
that Hawaii and the proposed Isthmian
canal TO which the treaty has especial
reference, are so closely related as to
render the future bearing of this treaty
upon the Hawaiian problem a matter
of interest. 1t is understood that the
will be prepared to report
soon after the converting of congress
next December. One of the points of
doubt on the part of the committee is
how the treaty is regarded by the
British government. 1t appears that
while England has generally acted in
Central American affairs as she would
have been expected to act as if there
had been no treaty, the English au-
thorities have never given expression
to any of the sentiments as to the con-
tinued effect of the agreement made
between Secretary Clayton and Sir
Lytton Bulwer.
