 enjoys a privilege which is appre-
 ciated wherever in the world is felt
 the influence of the meek and lowly | Nazarene upon the lives and charac-
 ters of men, and wherever the day
 is observed the very observance is a ' a tribute to the most lofty nature
 that ever walked the earth. Whe-
 thea considered in the cold light of
 modern skepticism or in the impas-
 stoned glow of religious adoration,
 Jesus of Nazareth stands out upon
 the page oi history as tn. most re-
 markable character of all time. And
 why? Because his teachings inaug-
 urated a revolution in the hearts
 and minds of men which has slowly
 but surely raised the human mind
 to higher planes of thought and ac-
 tion; and as the ages roll on, by
 the same exalted and exalting inAu- ence, willgreater heights be attained
 and the world pcopled with just
 men made perfect And yet all
 the vast influence thus exercised and set in motion rested upon a sin gle principle the sacredness and inviolability of manhood and wo- manhood. And his bitterest tears were shed at the brutal violation of that sacred principle that was to be seen upon all sides in the ancient world; and his hercest invectives were leveled at the violators.
 Yet, after nearly nineteen hun dred years, the church founded in his name has lost it's hold upon the 1 hearts and minds of men, and when once its temples was crowded with 1 devout worshippers the ministra- tions af its service are now attended { by few listless idlers, and the mas ses scoff and Pass bye. And why2 Because those who would be first in denouncing Jesus of Nazareth, should he again appear upon earth, ! the same doctrines he taught eighteen centuries ago, now control the church he founded and dictate it's teachings. Those whom le scourged from the portico of the emple are now seated within the nner sanctuary, and theirs is the yoice heard therein, not that of the Irvine being who declared that a iamel could pass through the eye of .ye of a needle easier than a rich nan could enter the kingdom of , ieaven. Governed by their com nercial instincts their daily lives are
 daily denial of the sublime doe rines taught by Christ, and they { SC the church to lull to rest their ( by dealing out dreary 1 attitudes.

NOT A FILIBUsTER.
Rather Was the Dauntless an Angel

of Mercy.
Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. Io.--The off.
cial report of Captain John w. Myers,
of the steamer Dauntless, regarding
the last trip of the vessel, was com.
pleted yesterday, and forwarded by
the collector of customs to the secre.
tary of the treasury.
In this report, Captain Myers gives
detailed account of the trip. He
tells all about finding the men left on
No Name Key by the steamer Three
Friends, and of taking the men off the
key and transferring them to another
steamer. AS the report shows that the
Dauntiess was on an errand of mercy
rather .han flibustering expedition,
not be libeled for any violation of the
neutrality or navigation laws.
W. A. Bisbee, the owner of the ves-
sci, is anxious to Secure clearance for
the vessel at Neuvitas, Cuba, as he has
contract to deliver a cargo of arms
and ammunition at that port. Nothing
further has been heard of the orders
for the United STAGES dispatch boat
Dolphin to accompany the Dauntless
whenever that vessel may be granted
clearance and leaves this port.
The revenue cutter Boutwell, went
down to the bar early yesterday morn
ing and carried Captain Clever, the
commander of the Dolphin, out to his
vessel. The Dolphin has not yet en-.
tered the St. Johns river and she will
not come in until the tides begin to
run little higher.
The cruiser Newark is still anchored
off the bar. She has been there for
nine days and in that time no attempt
has been made by any vessel to carry
out an expedition of any kind. In
fact there is no boat in this port that
Is available for this work, as the Three
Friends is in the hands of the marshal
and the Dauntless is in the custody OF
an officer of the Boutwell,.
The Investigations by the Cubans un-
Ter the direction OF General Numez
md Horatio Rebens of the sinking of
he Commodore has not yet been con-
.luded, and nothing has been done
oward making the result of the in
'estigation public.

nom 70 breathe Correctly.

Following are some excellent rules
for improving the respiration and bring
ing it up to a normal condition: Stand
al an open window or recline on couch
with the waist and chest unconfined
hold the chest walls high and inhale in
slow, long brea.hs, exhale as slowly,
three times only at first. Gradually the
number of times may be increased, and
the time heightened for the breathing
exercises. Fifteen minutes. twice a
day, at least, should be devoted to this
exercise to accomplish the desired re-
suits. To inhale long deep breaths
while slowly raising the arms above the
head, and to exhale as slowly while
lowering them, is one Of the best
breathing exercises ever invented. The
practice OF breathing very deeply while
walking in the open air is recommend
ed not only for general health, but
is one of the best cures for obesity, as
the increase amount of oxygen greatly
augments the consumption of waste
material.

FUNDING BILL DEFEATED
House Lays Out the Powers
Bill,:I68 to ro2.
The Defeat IL Looked Upon as the
Ending OF All Efforts 20 Compro-
mise or Extend the Debt OF the Pa
ellie Railroads.

Washington, Jan Iz-The Pacific rail-
way funding bill went to its doom In
In the house today under an adverse
majority of Co. The friends of the
measure, who had predicted its passage
up to the last moment, were surprised
by the decisive character of their de-
feat They had been led to hope from
the votes on the substitutes that the bill
had more than an equal chance of pas
sage. The Bell substitute provided that
/ II the Union Pacific and Central Pacific
would clear off the first mortgage and
advance the government lien, the
government would extend the indebt-
edness at per cent 1t was defeated,
no to So. The Harrison substitute,
providing for committee to negotiate
a settlement OF the debt, was rejected
by the house by a vote of S. to ara
Many Of the members were as much I
opposed TO these substitutes as to the
Powers bill The California ami mid.
die west members voted almost soidly
against them.
When the vote came on the main
proposition the whole opposition swung
Into line and crushed 1t By an adverse
vote of roa to 1868.
The vote was not taken directly on
the passage of the bill, but on the pre-
liminary motion to engross and read the
bill third time. Bills which become
the subject of hard tests are usually
brought to final test before the last
stage Is reached. The
Reilly Pacific funding bill two years
lgo was defeated In the same manner
IN the same motion. This was the
ourth funding bill killed in the house !,
n ten years. !,

It was tremendous surprise. The
silver republicans had not expected any
additions to Claggett's support, and
when short time before the ballot, they
learned that there was danger of addi-
tional voting for Claggett, they adopted
a plan that they confidently believe pre-
vented the election OF Judge Ciaggett.
The silver. republican members, with
the exception of three who voted for
Dubois, gave their votes to Jones of
Boise and Colonel J. W. Jones of Black
foot, both prominent democrats. The |
prospect of electing democrat was the
influence that deferred enough more
democrats from going to Claggett to
elect him.
Tonight the outlook is gloomy for
Dubois. A great deal of excitement
and some sensational charges
are made 1t is claimed by the Dubois
men that corrupt measures have been
adopted in which the McKinleyites cut
iome considerable figure.
The senate today refused to remove
