A WOuderfuI Cure.

! She found Him Oh the street with s
crowd around Him, everyone asking
for help. They were all talking as fast
as they could, telling oneanother what
great cures He had made, until the
woman thought: IF [ can but touch
His clothes, it will be enough to heal
me-" So she pressed close to Him and
put her trembling fingers on the hem
of His garment. Right away she
felt thrill through all her body. and
she knew that she was well! The
good Physician turned to see who
touched Him, the woman was afraid
and hid away in the crowd.
"Who touched My garments?" H
asked.
MASTER" said some one near, "do
you not see how all the people press
around US, and do you ask who
touched Me""
"Yes," He replied; "some one has
touched Me in way the others have
not" And looking out among the
noisy crowd He caught the eye of the
poor woman. Then she saw she need
not be afraid of One whose face was so
full of tenderness and love. She came
close to Him, and told Him all the
truth about herself. Think how she
must have felt when she heard Him
say in gentle voice: Daughter, thy
faith has made thee whole; 60 in
peace, and be whole of thy plague"
Do you not suppose that that woman
loved the One who healed her, and az
terward was always ready to do any,
thing she could for Him?
We know who the good Physician
was. There never was another like
Him. Yes; we know His name is
Jesus, and we are glad that He is liv-
ing still, and is just as ready to help
and heal sin-sick souls as He was to
cure that poor woman.
We are indeed very ill. We do not
know how ill we are. The truth is we
are going to die if we do not find the
Great Physician. We may try all the
ways we can think of, as that woman
did; but, like her, we will never grow
better, but worse and worse every
year we live, unless we come near
enough to Jesus to touch Him and hear
Him say, "Thy faith has saved thee"
He does not want US to join the
crowd and talk about Him, and yet
never came near enough to Him to be
cured of sin. There were a great
many people in that multitude around
Jesus who were never any better for
being there. No doubt they talked
loud enough, asked the Lord for a
great deal, but they never were in
such heart-earnest as was the woman
who wanted truly to be cured of her
sickness.
Jesus wants US to be whole pure in
heart, speaking truth with our lips,
loving what is good, hating all that is
evil. He wants us to mind what He
says, and try always to please Him.
What happy world this would be If
every sin-sick soul would come to
Jesus aad truly be made whole ~

THE WRITING OF HISTORY.
The Makers Of History do Not Care to

South Carolina history to awaken thirst for

serious doubts whether q hundred copies oi

publisher for fraction OF the cost, cost OF prinI
novels are rarely heard OF, much less seen IN
our libraries, and the Herald and News says
that sales OF recent history or Newoerry

ell was Il game cock in the wars against the
Creeks and Yemassees. while they know more
OF King Philip than they do Of King Haglar;
our people know more OF Mollie Stark and the
battle OF Bennington than they DO OF Marion
and Black Mingo. An inquiry as TO the ident-

which to publish history. for while she mas

WARRANT FOR MARTIN.

WILKESBARRE, Sept. IA, 1897.-It was
reported this morning that constable
was in town with warrant looking for
Sheriff Martin. AT the Sheriff's Office it
was said no demand had been made for
him. Up to noon Sheriff Martin had not
returned from HaZleton.
The various Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
collieries on the south side, and at Beaver
Brook did not resume work this morning
as was anticipated. Superintendent La
wall stated that the men would resume
work tomorrow unless interfered with by
the strikers of the Yorktown colliery of
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company. Cen
eral Superintendent Lathrop of the Le-
high Valley Coal Company went to Halle
ton this morning to arrange with the en-
ployes for an adjustment of their griev-
ances.
The grievances are being considered by
the company officials, who will meet the
committee of strikers in a day or two and
endeavor to make a speedy settlement.
The officials all make some concessions
to the men and hope to get them back
to work the latter part of the week and
thus add materially in quieting the
troublesome masses in that region.

CABINET MET TODAY.
Union Pacific Matter and Other
Questions Discussed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA, 1S97.-Great
interest is attached to the Cabinet meet
ing today on account of the various i'm
portant questions which are pending and
the fact that it was the first meeting
in some weeks. Every member of the
Cabinet except Secretary Long, who is
out of the city. reached the White House
promptly at II O'Clock. and each had with
him an unusually large number of papers
and documents relating to matters pend
ing in his department.. Owing to the
volume of the business to be considered
it was decided at 1:30, after the Cabi-
net had been in session two and one-
half hours, to take a recess for IuncheoR
The morning session was devoted almost
entirely to the consideration of the
Union Pacific question, presumably the
advisability of taking an appeal from the
decree of the United States Court at
Omaha for the sale of the property under
the foreclosure proceedings. The mem-
bers of the Cabinet were very reticent,
an injunction having been placed on them
not to talk of the matter at this time.
but it was stated that an announcement
relative to the course the Government
would pursue might be expected In the
course of ten days.
The Cabinet also discussed the San
Pedro Cal, harbor project and Attorney
General McKenna rendered an opinion
which will be formally promulgated, to
the effect that Secretary Alger should
proceed under the law to carry out the
project of building a breakwater and
making other improvements at San Ped.I
ro. The Civil Service decision in the
Wood case and its effect on the law was
also informally talked over. Neither the
the tariff act, nor the Cuban or Hawaiian
questions were mentioned at the meeting.

sagasta's Gloomy View Of the
Cuban and PHILIPPINE Up
risings and the Carlist
Propaganda.
[By Cable to The Associated Press. !

by Cable to The Associated PreSS.1
MADRID, Sept. IA, 1S97.-Senor Sagasta,
the Liberal leader in an interview en- the
subject of the Cuban insurrection, says
the uprising, instead of dying out, is
spreading considerably He adds that the
situation in the Philippine Islands is SER
ieus, asserts that the Carlist propaganda
in Spain cannot be viewed with indiffer-
ence, and he expresses the belief that a
reconciliation between the political par
ties in Spain is impossible so long as the
Conservatives are in power. In conclu-
sion Senor Sagasta remarks
In my opinion the Cortes will not meet;
but if they do meet their existence is
ephemeral."
The Liberal leader refused to express
himself regarding the relations between
the United States and Spain.
The "Official Gazette" today announces
that all vessels arriving in Spain from
ports between New Orleans, La, and
Ocean Springs, Miss, will be subjected to
quarantine.
The position of the Bank of Spain con-
tinues to greatly concern commercial cir
cles, owing to it's immense note circula-
ton. Paris exchange was reached 81 80,
the highest on record. AS the Bank has
lent the State 15OOOO,OOO pesetas, repayable
without interest in 1920, it's affairs would
become critical in the event of the Bank
incurring losses on loans, in the absence
OF SuH1clent guarantees against current
accounts and note circulation.
