A Wheeling man, having few days
leisure, took in an excursion TO
Niagara Falls a few days since, and
was taken in. The large party left
here for CLEVELAND. where Cney took
steamer for Buffalo Tie steamer
was not the large and elegant boat ad-
vertised, but a smaller, inferior boat,
which was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity, only the women and children
obtaining seats. The rough water and
the warm amber fluid dispensed on the
boat made a Mailer" seasick and he
was glad they left him off at Buff
falo." He saw Niagara Falls, but he
doesn't tell Of the delightful time he
had. "I'd sooner hunt frogs out the
rtreek than see Niagara that way" is
! all he will say of the trip.

Wheeling is city of soup eaters, and
Saturday is soup day. Nearly every
dispensary of liquid joy in the city
hangs out turtle backs and flaming
signs bearing the legend, Soup To-
night" 1t is stated on good authority
that one economical saloonist has a
quantity of artificial clans made from
rubber that have figured in his brand
of bullion all season.

JUGGLING WITH DISHES

Doesn't improve their appearance. And
who is more addicted TO this form OF
Juggling than the average servant
girl? A little nick here and there may
not amount to much-you may not
even notice it-but how about visitors?
No dining table can be too daintily set
only the best is good enough for any
one. Dainty dishes may be bought for
very little money nowadays.

Nesting against the side Of Chap
line hill is a modest little building
that hides the coolest place in the city
at the present time.
Mr.. Balzer brews ale in cavern sew
eral hundred feet under the hill. At
the rear of this rock-roofed cavern a
spring of the coolest and purest water
gushes forth and is caught in huge
tank. The water supply never fails.
and drink from this spring makes the
teeth ache.
Speaking of this cavern, one of the
employees who conducts visitors
through the place. says that it is GUS
tomary to offer cool ale to parties when
the sights have been seen. The ale
tastes good, especially on parching
day, and the visitor can have all he
wants. The effects are not felt in the
cool vault, but when the drinker en-
erges into the warm sunshine a sur
prising change occurs. A sedate man
feels like whooping and getting gay,
and eventually succumbs to an unex-
pected jag.

NEEDED A LESSON.
Disturbing Meeting Came a Little
High for the Boys.

The disturbance Of the Salvation
Army meetings which has been going
on for some time is likely to come to
a stop. Saturday night the boys got
too noisy and arrests followed.
This morning Sim Barber paid 50
and costs as one result of it.
Jack Barber and Wm. Farrell we're
arrested on the same charge and fined
So and cost, in default OF which they
went to the cooler.
The complaints were sworn to by
Captain Boren who says the meeting
was being conducted in an orderly
manner and that the young men talk
ed aloud and disturbed it.
Whatever may be ones opinion Of
Salvation Army work, there is no
reason in the meetings being disturb
ed. The Army has right to hold its
gatherings in peace. The attendance
on services is much less than a few
weeks ago. Some Of the best workers
have left and instead Of a crowded
room often there are only a dozen or
two present.

WAS A WAR PATRIOT.
High Character Of the Man Who
Takes Little's Old Place.

Mr.. Harrison, the Pennsylvania
sugar refner who takes Ed Little's
old place as consul general to Cairo,
is personal friend Of the khedive
He has spent considerable time in
Egypt since his refinery was absorbed
by the trust, and has hunted, tished
and been on yachting parties with the
khedive many times. Three or four
years ago he sent his head groom
from Philadelphia to Cairo to become
master of horse in the royal stables,
and the khedve made Mr.. Harrison a
present Of a beautiful white Arabian
steed as an acknowledgment Of this
courtesy. In return last year he sent
the khedive a magnificent American
hackney for birthday present. They
have exchanged letters frequently for
several years, and it is said to have
been on the khedive's suggestion that
Mr.. Harrison applied for the Ameri-
can consulate.
Mr.. Harrison is distinguished in
another respect. He served four
years, one month and eleven days in
the United States navy during the
war-from July 6, 1861, to Aug. II,
lS64-and participated in all the ex-
peditions and engagements in the
Gulf and the Mississippi river. At
the same time he had a substitute in
the army, who originally entered the
service as a private, but was muster.
ed out as captain. Mr.. Harrison
not only paid him handsome salary
for serving in his stead, but insured
his life for a considerable sum for the
benefit Of his family, and kept up the
premiums. Mr.. Harrison refused
from the beginning to draw pay for
his own services, and did not receive
a cent from the government for the
entire period. He is said to have
been the only person in the army or
navy during the war, except the
Count Of Paris, who did not draw pay.
Guess he deserves a good job II any
body does.
1t is considerable of a compliment
to Mr.. Little that while he held the
Office six months under Cleveland,
the Democratic incumbent gets
bounced at six weeks.

on the back Of her head, wrenching
her neck badly. She was rendered
unconscious by the fall. A physician
was procured from Solomon at once

been necessary to keep her under the
influence Of opiates most Of the time

ALL ABOUT THE FUTURE.
Graeco.T Turkish War Is Prophetic
What It Means.

To the Editor Of the Reflector.
NAVARRO, April 26.-Just now the
people are wondering what the pres
ent war trouble over in the old
countries means. 1t is the beginning
of the end of Turkey, and, therefore,
means much more than people i'm
agine. The downfall Of Turkey is a
line over which the world must pass
in order 10 come into the New Era or
New Age. The Bible tells us that
blindness struck the world for a
period of ''seven times" which is
1920 years, during which Gentiles
were to hold sway; and this 1920
year period is almost expired, and
this is why things are rolling over in
those countries. Figuring in astron-
omy shows that the wheels in the
heavenly clock the planets) will be
around to certain point in April,
1898. So you can look for a new
move on the checker-board Of nations
soon, as everything on this earth
takes place on exact astronomical
time. 1t never varies one minute.
When the planets complete cycle or
parts Of a set period this earth re-
spends and marks the moment by a
turn in affairs; and | declare it that
a turn is bound to take place about
April, 1898, and it is likely to be the
downfall Of Turkey as they are the
Gentiles and their time will be out
then as "Gentile Times" we're to be
only 1920 years and Turkey was to
hold the last half Of this period, which
makes 1880 years; and as Turkey
took possession 6SS A. D. her time
will be out 1898 ION Easter day. The
eclipses and the transits Of Venus and
Mercury register this fact and the
ball is rolling into place by war now.
Calculations in astronomy show some
wonderful dates and times. The
special dates are 1898, 1901, 1914, |
1928. 1t is positively absurd to look
for better times under any political
party or man or men, and ! know
this SO surely that am not afraid to
20 on record with this and have 1t
clipped out and pasted on the look
Ing glass in every house.

BURNED TO ASHES.
J. E. Brewers Barn Furnishes q
Lively Blaze.

| AsSAJ 0A"~S'
At 2;SO Monday p. m. the barn al
j. E. Brewers, corner Fifth and Wal.
nut, caught fire, Mr.. Brewers little
son having been playing there with a
match with the usual result. The
alarm was quickly given and in few
minutes large crowd was watching
the blaze. The fire department was
soon on hand in full force including
both hose companies and the hook and
ladder company. Couplings were
made and the boys waited for water.
1t was seven minutes getting there.
During that time lazy streams flowed
from the hose nozzles, being thrown
only about half dozen feet. The
crowd grew anxious and as they real
lied that time was precious in such
an event there were sarcastic remarks
from the onlookers as to the efficiency
of the waterworks. At last, over 10
minutes from the time the alarm was
turned in the pressure came and
strong streams played on the sur
rounding buildings and on the debris
of the barn which had by that time
fallen in and was nearly destroyed.
The barn was owned by Thos. Kirby
and insured for 800. Mr.. Brewers
phaeton was inside and burned, it
also being insured.
Owing to the fact that it was calm
no other buildings caught fire. A light
breeze even would certainly have
caused much farther damage before
the water pressure got there. Most
people think the fire pressure is given
from the standpipe in town but it
really comes from the power house at
Sand Springs in response to telephone
alarm. A telephone message from
the engineer after the fire il regard to
the cause of the delay said that al
though he received the alarm
promptly he could not get steam up
any sooner than he did.
Manager Rogers says that the reason
the water pressure was no greater was
that the valve at the standpipe was
turned the wrong way, allowing the
water to be forced first into the stand
pipe before entering the mains. The
man who performs this duty at fires
has had celery compound purchased
for his nerves.
The outcome was not serious but
it might easily have been extremely
costly.

MOTHER CALLED HOME.
Mrs. Jacob Landes Passes Away After
Weeks Of Illness.

| '~~~-~ ~e ees>sSSS
At 4;SO Tuesday morning, after two
months OF decline, succeeding an at
tack Of grip from which she did moi
recover, Mrs. Jacob Landes fell asleer
in death. For the past ten days,
during which dropsy developed, it has
been known that the end was near.
But with serene Christian faith the sui-
fering one waited the dread message
and when the final moment came,
conscious Of all and taking her fare
well without tremor,the strong soul
went calm and trustful to meet its
Maker. 1t was a worthy closing to a
noble life.
Mrs, Mary Landes was born in
York county, Pa, Nov. 2S, 1928. She
was married to Jacob Landes in 1915
and for two score years they lived on
the Landes homestead in that state.
Then they moved to Stark county,
Ohio, coming this county IS years
ago, residing on farm s miles south
of the city. Three years later feeling
the need of rest they came to Abilene
and have since resided on North
Twelfth street where in the home
her presence had beautifed the wife
and mother now lies at rest. For 20
years the husband has been an invalid
and her loving care has been his
solace and comfort. Never was there
a more faithful wife, q more tender
mother. OF their nine sons only one,
Jacob G. Landes, resides here having
moved to the city few weeks ago
from Hayes township that he might
be near his parents in their declining
days. One son died in infancy,
Charles is in Colorado, Aaron also Of
that state is here, David in Atchison,
Kas., Jerry, Henry and Reuben in
Elkhart, Ind, George in Spencerville,
Ohio. All the sons are married but
one, and all are In active business
pursuits. They have filled positions
Of honor and trust and have been the
crown OF the mothers life.
A consistent member Of the River
Brethren church, q Christian woman
with life filled with true womanly
deeds, with her loving kindness shed
abroad on all and with her heart i'm
bued with the spirit Of her Master,
earth was poorer and heaven richer
when she fell asleep never to wake
again.
Funeral services will be held at the
River Brethren church Thursday at

Theosophy and Religion.

To the Editor of the Reflector
One of the leading ministers of the
city Sunday devoted considerable at
tention to theosophy which was de-
clared to be unChristan and opposed
to true religion. viii you permit me
to differ with the reverend gentleman.
Theosophy is not opposed to religion.
While it has nothing new to teach in
religion, philosophy and science, 1t
presents the old truths again in
form suited to the intellectual needs
of the day. 1t seeks to strengthen
religion against materialism, by
bringing to Its aid the stores Of occult
knowledge possessed by the founders
Of religion and by their disciples for
many Notwithstanding which
has faded in the eillux Of time.
Further, theosophy does not teach
that man will lose his identity, but,
on the contrary, that he will preserve
it. To build up an individual through
hundreds Of lives, and then to let 60
the results of the tiresome process,
would surely be waste Of power,
and rather grotesque outcome Of SO
much effort. What theosophy really
teaches is this:
That there are many states OF
consciousness in the universe, among
which we find that which we call the
human intelligence This is by no
means the highest state of conscious
ness, although to most men it is the
highest they can conceive, because
they have not experienced any Of them.
Those who have transcribed the in
tellect, and have felt higher state,
say that 1t Is as much above the in
telectual in freedom, in delight, in
vividness, in lucid consciousness OF
identity, as the intellectual conscious
ness is above the life of animal SEN
suallty. In theosophy the word 'in-
dividual" is used technically to denote
the intellectual man, and hence a
theosophist might say that the "in-
diyidual" comes to an end, but using
the word individual In its generally
accepted sense, connecting identity
and memory, the individual perishes
never The narrow limits Of the in
telect fall away, for all the intellect
ual powers are transmitted into spirit
ual intelligence, wisdom, love and
power, as base metals into gold. Only
those who think that nothing can
exist that is higher than human intel
ligence can object to the theosophical
teaching as to the higher possibilities
Of man. In the freer, fuller life
toward which he is evolving, man
shall indeed share the Divine con-
sciousness, and be one with it-as
Jesus prayed and Paul declared-but
he will lose no thread of memory, nor
any loved one bound to him by ties Of
true affection. OMAR.
