JONAH AND WHALE.
Philadelphia Preacher Of.
fers a Theory.
The Whale May Have Been {
Shark-Some Historic Sharks
Were Large.

Rev. Thomas a. Hoyt, of the Cham
bers Presbyterian Church, Philadel-
phia, offered an explanation of the
great fish story TO his congregation
a few Sundays since, which was Incl
dental TO the discussion now in prog
ress among theologians in the United
States.
Rev Mr.. Hoyt held that the story
was worthy the fullest credence as a
physical possibility, even if there were
no belief in miracles. His text was
from the seventeenth verse of the Book
Of Jonah, THE Lord had prepared a
great fish TO swallow up Jonah, and
Jonah was in the belly of the fish
three days and three nights" Dr. Hoyt
said:
This is the point of infidel attack.
The story is declared to be improbable,
impossible, absurd. For one thing, it
narrow to swallow a man. We might
rest in the truth that nothing is i'm
possible with Cod that he could Gre
ate a whale big enough for his pur
is not called whale except in our
version of the words of Christ. In the
text it is called "a great fish, and in
Matthew xii, 40, the word 'cetos' is
used, which in the margin of the re-
viSed version, is translated sea mon
cfo xuhi RI 40
and not to the species of certain large
fish found in the Mediterranean Sea.
1t includes a species of white shark,
which is capable of swallowing not
merely a man, but even a horse.
SOME HISTORIC SHARKS.
"a natural historian of repute relates
that in 1853 in stormy weather a sail
or fell overheard from a frigate in the
Mediterranean. A shark was close by,
which, as he was swimming and cry
ing for help, took him in its wide
throat, so that he forthwith disappear
ed. The captain had a gun which stood
on the deck, discharged it at the fish,
which struck it so that it cast out the
sailor from it's mouth, who was taken
up alive. The fish was harpooned,
taken upon the frigate and dried 1t
w S ~ ISeL ulllS lecl tCIOSS the
fins, and weighed 1000 pounds This
is not the only account of the size of
this fish. Another distinguished nat
uralist states the white shark is found
of the size of 10000 pounds, and horses
have been found whole in it's stomach.
A writer of the sixteenth century on
the fish of Marseilles says: They of
Nice attested to me that they had
taken fish of this sort approaching to
4 900 pounds weight, in whose body
they had found a man whole
'Such facts and many others which
might be adduced ought to shame those
who speak of the miracle of Jonah'S
preservation through the fish as a
thing less crdible than any other of
Gods miraculous doings. There is no
greater or less to Omnipotence. The
creation of the universe the whole |
stellar system, or a fly, are alike to
Him, simple acts of His divine will. |
What to men seem the greatest mira |
,les, or the least, are alike to Him |
he mere let it be- of His all-holy will |
acting in different way for one and |
he same end; the instruction of the
intelligent creatures which He has
made"

CHEAP CORN MEANS CHEAP SUGAR.
Corn Glucose an Important Factor in
Candy Manufacture.

Corn Glucose an Important Factor in
Candy Manufactures.
The Louisiana Planter says that the
enormous corn crop realized in the
harvest, apart from it's influence in
various other directions, has had an
indirect effect on sugar values that
amounts to considerable in the course
of the year.
1t is well known among candy man
ufacturers that various sugars vary in
their capacity to combine satisfactorily
with glucose. Glucose is used to an
enormous extent in candy manufac-
ture, its direct use in stick candy be-
ing to maintain the brightness of the
candy by preventing the tendency to
crystalline and resulting dullness of
color always seen in pure sugar can
dies when kept for some time. Candy
makers formerly used acid to invert
cane sugar in order to preserve the
bTilliancy of their products, but as
liquid and solid glucose came on the
market. and at constantly reducing
prices, the inversion of cane sugar was
abandoned and corn glucose became
manufacture. If il can be bought at
twO-thirds the price of cane sugar, ev-
cry candy maker viii use all the corn
glucose possible to reduce his average
cost per pound. It was found out long
ago by Western candy makers that for
some cause not seen in the ordinary
sugar analysis, pure white plantation
Louisiana sugar was better for candy
making than foreign refined. 1t would
take, and. in fact, required a larger
percentage of corn glucose to prevent
disqualification in candy made from it,
There could hardly be any better evil
dence of the superior merit of Louisi-
ana white sugar.
The present low prices for corn have
carried liquid glucose down to 20 cents
per cwt.. or less than three-quarters of
a cent per pound As liquid glucose is
of heavy body and practically colorless,
it is largely used as imitation molas-
ses, some 10 per cent only of molasses
being added to make some show of
color and flavor. 1t is also utilized in
various fruit syrups, taking the place

crowd of one hundred more men and
boys were firing a Christmas salute
from an old cannon on the outskirts
of town today when a can of thirty
pounds Of powder exploded in the thick
of the crowd Thirty or forty persons
were injured, but none, 1t is believed,
fatally. The cannon was fired several
times and then Joseph Finch, an en-
ploye Of the Southern Railway COM

began to reload the piece. The gun
had not been swahhed and the moment
the tiny stream of powder struck the

Crowd With a Drawn Saber
Charge.
RIOTlNG IN
HAVANA.


HAVANA, Dec.S25.+-As is customary
here On Christmas eve large crowds Of
Spaniards assembled in Central park
and INDUCED in dancing, singing and
other forms of amusement. A large
number of these present becoming in
tcxicated, began to make demonstra-
tions and shout viva Weyler," Viva
Espana," "Viva union constitu ional,"
"Down with autonomy" and other
cries. The police were summoned, and
upon their arrival ordered the crowd
to disperse No attention was paid to
their orders, and, the officers being re-
inforced, guards were stationed in all
the avenues in the vicinity of the park.
In the meanwhile the groups in the
park continued their Shouting and dem
onstration, compelling the cavalry,
deta achment Of which had been sum-
moned to the scene, to charge upon
them, saber in hand and disperse them.
Several Of the police were slightly in
jured by stones thrown by the popu-
lace Eight arrests were made, but no
shots were fired.
Rumors which have been circulated
here that Sylvester Scovell, New
York newspaper correspondent, had
been hanged by the insurgents are un-
true 1t is reported that he and Senor
Rafael Madrida, the American consul
at Sancti Spiritus, were the bearers of
an important dispatch from President
Mckinley to President Masso and
Gen. Gomez. Generally speaking, the
condition of the reconcentrados is as
pitiful as it was during the admins
tration in the island of Gen. Weyler.
A relief fund Of 100000 will hardly
give the sufferers twenty cents each.
La Lucha demands that the amounts
expended by municipal authorities for
the relief of the destitute inhabitants
be published.
During the last month numerous
robberies and stabbiRg affrays are re-
ported to have occurred in Havana.
These outrages are ascribed to the
return to Havana from Ceuta prison
of the 'Nanigoes," who have been par
doned for political offenses under re-
cent DEGREES. 1t is officially stated
that many cane fields in Havana prov
ince have been burned by the insur-
gents. 1t is reported that Brigadier
Arangueren was at Guanabacoa night
before last. A party of insurgents, it is
reported unofficiaIly, recently dyna-
nited a culvert and bridge on the rail-
way between Sagua and Remedies.
1t is reported that. in various engage
ments with the insurgents, the forces
of Gen. Pando have suffered considera-
bIe losses. The column for several days
was short of provisions, owing to the
vigorous. resistance made by the In
surgents to the advance of the Spani-
ards and the many impedlnents placed
in their way. Gen. Pando's exact losses
are not known, owing to difficulty of
communication. Eighty residents of

moment. 1t is intimated In quarters
usually well posted on such matters
that Germany either has or wishes to
have an understanding on the subject
with Great Britain. This view Is
strongly supported by Prince Henry's
visit to Queen Victoria at Osborne, and
his subsequent trip to London and by
the autograph letter which the prince
as being a distinctly conciliatory step

confirmatio is forthcoming. The en-
from Emperor William, etc, of which
is said to have taken to her majesty
upon the part of Germany. But there
is no doubt Great Britain is quietly
preparing for all eventualities. Should
it become clearer that Germany and
Russia have really commenced a game
of grab, Great Britain will be prepared
to assert her claims for a division of
her spoils. AT the Chinese embassy the
view prevails that there is some under
standing between Great Britain and
Germany.
The public scare seems to have arisen
from the idea that the proceedings
took Great Britain by surprise. This is
impossible, for, since her intervention
in the Chinese-Japanese war, it has
been known that Germany has only
been awaiting a favorable opportunity

various times 1t has been reported that

was known at the British foreign Of
flee. The reception Of the German
squadron at Portsmouth, and the facil-
tiles which the ships were afforded and
will be afforded at all the British coal
departments on their way to Hong
Kong, point to the sympathetic support
Of Great Britain. That Russia does
not expect trouble is shown In the fact
that she has not one battleship in the
far East. But, of course, II Russia does
not leave Port Arthur in the spring her
stay there may lead to other grabbing.
The British government, however is
apparently not borrowing trouble.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The alarm
which has spread throughout the coun-
try as to the blow which civil service
reform would suffer during the coming
year is founded on reasoning which
ignores the meaning of some recent
events. Throughout the early summer
and late fall the president has been
daily besieged by partisans clamorous
for his revocation of the civil service
orders issued by President Cleveland
in 1896. The most he is willing to do
is to make few notifications such
as exempting private secretaries or
confidential clerks-not exceeding two

to the river. The people in the neigh
borhood ran to the scene and the work
of giving assistance to the injured be-
gan. The hill was dotted with black
ened, groaning figures, some of whom
lay almost perfectly nude. A number
of the injured were able to walk from
the scene, while cots were provided and
gentle hands placed the more seriously
wounded on them and conveyed them
to an old residence near by, which was
improvised into hospital. Those in
jured worst are:
