There Was SyvaIIOwin in 1t.
| The first and mainest preacher on the
| grounds was the Reverent Luther Ran
die, and it was plum surprisin to me
the way he could quote the Scriptures
and hand down the word. You must
recollect that l was right there in per
son at old Sweet Water church on the
very day and hour when Luther Randle
| got his papers of entitlement to preach
| the livin truth accordin to the faith
and orders of the Old School Baptists.
They had what l reckon you mought
call committee to put the questions
and then report back if the candidate
was worthy and well qualified and fit
| ten for the nomination. And if my
recollection amt dead wrong old Dea-
cen Ashcraft led off with the questions,
and amongst other things he wanted
to know of Luther if he believed what
the Bible said about Daniel goin down
into the lions den and comm out sound
and well and without a scratch.
ITO be certainly of course, brethren,
I do believe that" says Luther. Il be
lieve it most in generally because the
Bible says it was so, though l raley
don't see how L could worry it down
ii had found it in any other book"
Then they wanted to know of Luther
if he believed the Scriptures in regards
to them three fellows with such hard
and curious names, which went
through the fiery furnace when it was
heated seven times hotter than any use
for. And Luther he believed it because
he had read it in the Bible
Next then they wanted to know his
honest opinions touchin Jonah and the
whale-Did he believe all the Good
Book said about that?
Yes, brethren" says Luther, 81 be-
lieve that Jonah swallowed the whale"
Some members of the committee saw
where Luther had slipped a cog and put
the question to him oncst more as if in
the hopes that he would see the break
and mend it himself But still Luther
maintained that he was plum satisfied
from what the Scriptures said that
Jonah did raley swallow the whale.
You mean to say, Brother Randle,
that you believe the whale swallowed
Jonah, for that is what the Scripture
says about it," put in Deacon Ashcraft.
"Of course, brethren, l believe any
thing the Bible says about Jonah and
the whale" Luther went on. Il jest
only knowed there was swallowin some
where's in it,"
Now after that about all | recollect
for certain is that the committee found
Luther Randle firm in the faith and
sound in the doctrine. And from that
day henceforwards he has stood forth
as a mighty power for good in this
naughty old world here below.
The Reverent Luther Randle is full
half brother-by consanguinity or
otherwise-to Billy Randle-which you
recoIlect Billy is the youngster who
told the preacher down at Ebenezer last
summer that he would ruther not be
borned again for fears he mought be
gal the next time.

THE REVOLT IN THE cAITRAL.


ments Awaiting Orders to Go to the
Front-A Hundred Natives Killed by u
Accommodating Party-Heavy Reinforce-
ruents and Abundant SuppIfes-Carried
the Enemy's Position.
SIMLA. Aug. AIN consequence of
the rapid spread of the revolt, from
twelve to fifteen thousand natives now
being under arms, the government has
ordered the reserve brigade to assem-
bic under the com mand oil Col. Rode
house. The British regiments will
await events at Rawal Pindi and the
native regiments at Mardan. The staff
will remain for the time at NOwshera.
Fort Chadkara is strong enough to re-
sist any attack, and it has a good sup
ply of ammunition. The only fear is
that the garrison may become ex-
'hausted by constant fighting. The
tribesmen are sending forward fresh
relays daily. A accommodating column
yesterday found the enemy in great
force blocking the road to Chadkara.
During the fighting hundred of
the enemy were killed and the British
had IA wounded, among them Capt.
Baldwin, who was severely injured,
and Lieut. Keys, who received slight
wound.
The enemy followed up the retiring
column and attacked the camp in
half-hearted manner, being easily re-
pulsed by the garrison.
Gen. Blood, with every available
means, will start to-day for the relief
of Fort Chadkara, and the garrison has
been notified of his intention by hello
graph. Heavy fighting is expected at
Amandara.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 1.-The Ore
gon Railway & Navigation Co.'S steam
er George w. Elder sailed for Dyea,
Alaska, at II o'clock Friday night,
with *S3 passengers, nearly all of
whom are bound for the Klondilke.
She carried 1,SOO tons of freight, her
full capacity, 13O horses and burros
and IS dogs. All day long hundreds
of people congregated in the vicinity
of Ainsworth dock, where the Elder
was moored, and at seven o'clock it
was estimated that 10, 900 people were
on the river bank or on the bridges to
bid godspeed to the gold hunters.
Talk with Gen. Dunield.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Nothing can
be done more than already has been
done toward marking the boundary
line between Alaska and the British
possessions along the 141st meridian
until the senate passes upon the
boundary treaty before it. There is,
however, no doubt of the location of
the line along this meridian, and most
people in the locality know where it
is. The demarkation work was super
intendend by Gen. Dufield, in charge
of the coast and goedetic survey on be-
half of the United States.
THE GENERAL TALKS ABOUT THE FIELDS.
Gen. Duffield has spent considerable
@1r L. Ek.sA
ion that railroad can be easily con-
structed from Taku inlet to the Klon-
dixie gold fields, and believes the enter
prise well worth undertaking.
1.-THE gold," said Gen. Dufield, in dis
cussing the question, has been ground
out OF the quartz by the pressure of
the glaciers, which lie and move along
the courses of the streams, exerting a
tremendous pressure. This force is
present to a more appreciable extent
in Alaska than elsewhere, and believe
that as a consequence more placer gold
will be found in that region than in
any other part of the world"
A MISTAKE HAS BEEN MADE.
Gen Duffield thinks the gold hunters
on the American side have made the
mistake or prospecting Lne large
streams instead of the small ones.
''When gold is precipitated, he said.
''it sinks. It does not float far down
stream. It is. there fore, to be
looked for along the small creeks, and
about the headwaters of the larger
tributaries of the Yukon. .sThere is"
he added, mo reason why as rich finds
may not be made on the American side
of the line as III the Klondike district"

How General Spinner Opened Public Of

Writing of Women In the Government
Department" in The Womans Home
Companion, Mary Nimmo Balentine SAYS;
ut is a curious fact that this glorious
country grew and prospered from the days
of 1876 to the period of the civil war and
founded and perfected the greatest govern
ment upon earth before women were in
vited TO bear hand in the public duties,
even in the most casual manner During
all these years there was n total exclusion
of women from the work Of the executive
departments Now they are seen wher-
ever government work is being conducted,
in places of high trust, superior skill and
high emolument.
at was in 1869 that General Francis T.
Spinner, treasurer of the United States,
succeeded in opening the government de-
partments TO the employment of women.
The civil war was at its height and every
abebodied man was needed in the front
Of battle for the protection of the country.
If ever / strike a successful blow for
women, now is my time, said General
Spinner The first legal tender notes
had been issued; they were printed in
sheets of four notes each, and men were
employed to cut them apart with shears.
General Spinner maintained that women
could handle the shears moro deity than
men, and Secretary Chase finally consent
ed to let him experiment with women en-
ployees. The first one engaged was Jennie
Douglas, and her first days work settled
the matter in her favor and that of wom-
ankind. Other women were employed
The men left, and the women took their
places Soon, however, a machine to cut
the money was invented, and the women
were discharged. General Spinner now
convinced the officials that the nimble
fingers of women were peculiarly adapted
to the counting of notes. He had employ
ed his daughters in his own bank and
knew they could work more rapidly than
men. He was permitted to engage seven
women, who were regularly appointed as
counters of United States money. The
seven pioneers did their work so well that
1t was not long before congress was max
ing appropriations for the employment of
women in all of the executive depart
ments 1t is true the women received but
half the salary paid to men for the same
work at the beginning, but the salaries
were gradually increased until now q
woman receives the same salary as a man
in the public service when she does the
same work. 1t was a grand achievement
for women. All honor To the hero who
fought 1t to completioni Small wonder
that women are at work raising fund t.
