ton of the Second Presbyterian Church
met last night and extended call 10
Rev. J. Ernest Thacker, young diviLe
of Louisville, KY, to become their pas
tor. Mr.. Thacker delivered two SER
mons in the church several weeks ago,
and produced an impression upon the
congregation which brought forth an
expression from many that he would
be worthy successor to Mr.. Rice, who
relinquished charge of the church last
November. Mr.. Thacker is young,
active, earnest and eloquent, and it is
believed will prove popular not only
with his own flock but with those OF all
denominations The meeting last night
was presided over by Rev. f. S. Wilson,
of Waterford. There We're las men,

have filled the pulpit at different times
during the past few mouths. After
they had been put in nomination
only one ballot was taken, which
resulted in the election of Mr..
Thacker, who received 90 votes

This is the only remedy that is

Europe Beating Us.

II will surprise many people to learn
that the big European cities have been
growing much faster than those OF the
United States. This fact is pointed out by
DR.. Albert Shaw in a recent book on the
municipal government in Europe.
In 1870 New York had 10000 more
people than Berlin. In 1880 Berlin had
outstripped Now York. Since the German
Franco war the increase in the population
of Berlin has actually been as great as
that Of Chicago Philadelphia was bigger
than Berlin 30 years ago. Since then 1t
has only grown by half million, Berlin
by a million.
Americans will say that Berlin is exoep-
tional; that its growth is due to political
causes But how are they to explain HAM
burg? In 1875 Hamburg had 34S, 600 peo'
pie and Boston 842, 900. In 1850 ham
burg had 569, 800 and Boston 44s, oo0.
Baltimore was once as big as Hamburg,
but 1t has long been distanced.
Leipsic has grown from l27, ooo IN 1870
to s55, 900 in 1890 and has distanced San
Francisco. Even ST. Louis has not grown
as rapidly. Breslau used to be smaller
than Cincinnati. 1t has now distanced 1T.
Cleveland and Buffalo and Pittsburg were
all in 1880 bigger than Cologne, but Co.
logne was much the biggest in 1890 Dres-
den is growing more quickly than New
Orleans and Magdeburg than Milwaukee.
Hanover, though a sleepy place enough,

From Waterloo to the Soudan was an

guardsmen. and he purposely assigned
them to the most hazardous work Of the

and that was in the Soudan invasion OF
1882. But in that conflict, as well as the
previous ones, he displayed rare fighting
qualities, and while be is now generally
looked upon as military dandy, the
history of the organization forms fine
halo of soldierly fame.
The first guardsmen were the rustl1ug
Cavaliers, who stood by Charles ]. in
the wars with Cromwell, and then

they lived as best they could during the

return to England Charles II. didn't

flower of the best fighters in England.
Surrounded by these at all hours of the
day and night, the young King felt COM
parativeIy safe against sudden uprising
of the stern and unyielding Puritans.
The uniform of these guardsmen con-
sisted of a round hat with very broad
brim and profusion Of white feathers

man killed nine men and was then killed
himself.
The gra rdsmen had a long rest from
strife, and two generations of them had
a pleasant time, as they were not called
upon to wage war until 1743, when Eng
land combined with Austria to fight the
French When George II. took com-
mand Of the army the Life Guards went
with him. The English and their allies
had been badly trounced by the great
French generals, and for long time
were hemmed in, half starved and half
clothed King George was tremendous
fighter, and he kept the Life Guards in
the middle of the fray in all the battles
of the war. Moreover. uhey were called
upon to lead all the cavalry charges to
inspire confidence and bravery in the
common troopers.
For another sixty years the Life
Guards enjoyed peace, and then they
were called upon to battle with the
great Napoleon. They fought in oil the
struggles leading up to Waterloo. and In
that terrible conflict they took a conspic-
uous part. They led the First Cavalry
Brigade, and we're on the other side OF
