Who "RrOwna', IS

The citizens of Chihuahua were
greatly surprised and not little
panied last Tuesday by the arrest and
i'm pri sOnment of a man who has dwelt
among us for the past several months,
making numerous warm friends and
gaining the esteem of everyone, on the
suspicion of his being one Blicen, and a
bank defaulter of Juana, Texas. The
accused is known here as w. H.
Browne, and has been taking an active
part in mining at the Placer de Qua
dalupe. His arrest was made under
instructions from the U. 5. marshall
of Texas. Mr.. Browne will be held as
a prisoner in this city until farther
developments in the case are made.
He himself claims that his inocense
will be proven and that he is not the
m IN the authorities are seeking. We
indeed hope, as does all his friends,
that such will be the case.-Chihuahua

Insurgents are Numerous.

After months passed in compiling
data, which is confirmed by competent,
well informed. impartial parties, a cor
respondent is able to announce that in
that country comprised between Cape
San Antonio, Pinar del Rio and the
Jucaro-Moron military line of the pro-
vince of Puerto Principe, there are
5000 insurgents, well armed with rifles
and subdivided into SIN all bands. The
latter live during the greater part of
the year in the woods and mountains.
Besides these bands there are many
thousands of Cuban natives in the in
surgent camps who are either unarmed
or are only armed with machetes. In
the concentrated towns there are
only small numbers of men, the great
err part of the inhabitants being women
and children.

ing from the text. Eye shall be nv
Witnesses" Acts IS. The speaker said
in part, truth aud error, righteousne ness
and sin appear as contestants in this
text. In the warfare, the heavenly
/, weapons are the testimony of witnesses
and the power and presence of the holy
spirit. Humanity is the means through
which this testimony and the spirit are
| to operate. Christ was not popular
with the higher classes as he went
against the current OF the day. The
current was set in the wrong direction:
it was downward, and Christ's mission
was to lift men out of the downward
current. God wants the cur ent of our
life to go up. He wishes witnesses to
prove again and again his testimony
on earth throughout successive gener-
ations. When Christ assembled to heaven
the chief witnesses in his name had
gained recognition among the powers
of the earth as men of intellectual
strength. This was because they had
been with the master. All the cir
cumstances of the time were in ac-
cordance with the prophecies of the
old testament, and the skepticisms of
the day availed naught against this.
All that could be said by the agnostics
and infidels of the day could not then,
and can not now cOntraveue the in
junction of the father when he said,
This is my well beloved son in whom
l am well pleased; hear We him.
These witnesses could testify that
Christ came not to destroy, but to full ,
fill the law. The witne 3ses testify for
Christ in all places, preaching that :,
Jesus is the Christ: that he is risen !
and gone to the father, calling men to ,
realize, to sense their lost condition. |
God has given US the testimony of the |
holy spirit to augment the testimony |
of the word. Thank God for the |
a abundance of the testimony. The |
world needs that you go forth as living
for Christ.

A Rare Case of GenerOsity.

Says the Washington Star of the
oath: 1.-THE commissioner of patents,
General Benjamin Butterwortn, made
a number of promotions Saturday.
Among the clerks advanced was a
woman, who called upon him shortly
after she had learned of her good for
tune. 'Mr. Commiss' oner,' she said,
there is woman who sits alongside
of me in the office whose nece stiles
are much greater than mine. She is
splendid clerk, and is now supporting
her sick sister and child. Her brother,
who previously assis ed them. ed
short time ago The lines of her life
are drawn in much harder places Just
now than are those of mine. 1 want to
ask favor of you Mr.. Butterworth
naturally expected that the other pro-
motion would be asked for and he
knew there was DO opportunity to make
it, at least in the near future. But his
visitor continued. Il want to ask if
you will not let this other woman have
my promotion and allow her to draw
the increased salary until she is placed
in better circumstances. When that
time comes perhaps we may change
about again. Major Butterworth was
dumfOunded. Ever since he has been
commissioner of patents he has listened |
to the opportunities of clerks in his Of |
flee seeking promotion He had never |
before heard OF a clerk who wanted a |
promotion for some one else. He looked |
at his visitor and wondered whether |
he was dreaming. Il very seriously |
fear,' he remarked to his caller, that |
you will shortly be translated to some
other sphere. 1 have heard of such
things, but did not know that they
happened in this gener alton. OF course,
your request is granted. The visitor
smiled gratefully and left the room
Today she will be reduced to her old
place and the fellow-clerk whose nee

ORIGIN OF THE ASTECS.
Evidences of Civilization 2OOO Years
Ago Found ON the Pacific Islands.


simultaneously with the discovery of
relics near Hermosillo, Mexico, which
prove the existence OF Chinese in Mex
leo 1000 years agO, information is re-
celved from Australia concerning re-
ports from +. w. Christian, of the
Polynesian Society, who has returned
to sydney after an extended tour of the
South Seas, the Caroline group es-
pecially. Christian has discovered ex-
tensive traces of Chinese and Japanese
on the ISLANDS OF the Pacific, and
claims to have discovered evidence
point ting to the existence of civiliza-
tion nearl y 1000 years ago, which is
linked with ancient civiliz alton in
Central America and will probably ex-
plain the origin of the Aztecs. The
steamer Coptic brought from Sydney,
by way of Honolulu. accounts of
Christians two years work in the
South Seas, which resulted in finding
anciep records of specimens and handi-
work and weapons, which proved that
Aslatlc races were extensive traders
among the South Sea group thousands
of years ago. Evidence of a decisive
nature was secured which shows a
large trade was carried on via the is
lands OF the Caroline group between
China and Central America, and that
the ancient Chinese emigrated and
colonized extensively. Many discover
les were made concerning the early
history of the Malays with regard to
navigation, all proving that Torres
Strait to the Pacific was not taken, but
that voyages were made to many of the
Caroline islands. 1t is a striking coiu-
cidence that educated Cinnamon saw
records found on rocks near Her
mosiilo, Mexico, are in Chinese char
acters, and date back fully 1000 years.

Sermon to Children.

Inc sermon yesterday morning was
preached from the text: The streets
girls playing in the streets thereof >
Zech, VIII .. The general assembly OF
the Presbyterian church appointed yes
terday to be observed throughout the
church as a children's day. The pastor
said in part.
Children have you ever been to a
large city? Do you remember how
you felt when you first saw the street
cars, the beautiful windows filled with
pretty things, the parades of the SOL
diers. the music? Well. I shall, tell
your heavenly father will one day take
you. [ cannot tell you where this city
is or when you shall go there. The
boys and girls play in its streets, the
bible tells us. The name of this city
is Jerusalem or sometimes called the
new Jerusalem or more often called
heaven. 1t is a place of wonderful
beauty. In our earthly cities like New
York, Washington or Galveston we
have fine buildings but also ugly build
ings where vice and crime reign. In
heaven all is beautiful. 1t is a city of
parks aud flowers. Through its center
runs river pure as chry stall, bible
says. The streets are of pure gold land
the wall surrounding the city is made
of the most costly of precious stones
The gates leading to this city are of
pearl. No one ever gets sick there: no
one gets tired: no one ever dies
there.
The people who live there are all
those who have loved God. Noah.
A bra ham, Paul, Jesus are there. May
be you have a father there, or mann
ma, or some dear brother or sister,
who left your home sometime ago.
There are many, many children there,
for the bible say they are perfectly
happy, playing in the streets of this
lovely place. On the earth we see so
many sick people, tired people, sad
p Ople Our homes and hospitals are
Tiled with those who have paralysis
fevers AID pneumonia. But up there,
there is 10 sickness, no cemeteries, no
sin, no poor sad people.
The way to get to the city is to re-
mem Der Jesus is the way. Be like
Jesus and he will take you there Here
is another direction how to get there.
Turn to the right and keep straig ut
ahead: Do what is right and you one
day shall live in this city.
Is 1t not strange there are so MANY
who are not making preparation to
enter this city? So many who do not
love God or who do not try to serve
him? Boys and girls often think of
this beautiful city; where so many of
your dear friends have gone, and where
)ne day you shall go, to be forever
happy. 1t must be such a beautiful
Ove'y place this season that we sing
about, talk about, dream about. |
where our friends are, heaven. |
where we are going one day.

By the way of San Francisco, comes
from Luchow, China, the news that
Miss Hsu, daughter of one of the gen.
try, was married recently to red flow
err vase, which was substitute for her
dead betrothed, son of the vice chan
cellor of the Pekin Imperial academy
aud former optimus of Hanlin acade-

before the wedding day, and the bride
vowed to fOrswear marriage and OBJ
serveher widow hood in the family Of
her betrothed. Hence the curious
marriage ceremony to vase. A me-
mortal WILDE sent to the emperor ask

Christianity's Power.

Rev. J. T. French preached last
night on the power of the Christian
faith, taking as bis text, For God
hath not given US the spirit of fear: but
of power, and of love, and of sound
mind The speaker said he had,
shortly after entering the ministry,
been greatly distressed with intellect
ual doubts as to the cause be was
preaching. SO that he was tempted
to resign his pulpit He wrestled in
prayer that the doubts might be clear
ed up. Help was forth coming, and the
clouds of doubt were cleared up by his
thinking on this text. the main point
of the speakers doubt had been the
drawing power of christianity. There
are many tenets of the gospel that all
men believe. So are there many teach
ings in the Koran that commend them
selves to everyone, and the sacred
books of other cults have within them
many admirable teachings. But there
is a mysterious power, a mysterious
force emanating from and operating
within the sphere of christianity that
bring out things extremely admirable
which take hold of us al unconscious
force, an irresistible power, and to
which we instinctively cling. This
what no other religion does. This
power is the spirit of God, and its dis
and action.
Men cannot get into heaven through
works; there must be transformation
of the spirit: for as the apostle says,
bodily exercise profteth only for a
little, while Goodness is profitable to
all things. There can be no good re-
suits without the spirit and it's power
behind them. Tnat is characteristic
of the religion of christianity, and each
spirit has its indiviGu al characteristics.
When we do our duty backed by the
spirit o God we are always successful.
The christian religion meets all the ex-
igencies of our experiences. giving
consolation in the hour of trial. El
Paso is now being stirred up of the
spirit, and will one day be brought to
God. A tiQe will come when IN this
city there will be regard for things
sacred, things divine. The time will
come when man will be arrested here
as he is now arrested in other places,
for tratficing on the Lords day Never
mind being called a crank because you
may be doing Gods work. You had
better be called a crank than a drOne.
A feature of the service was a duo,
the adagio from Der Freischeutz set to
devotional words and sung by Mrs.
Kelly and Miss Emma Hoffman. Miss
Hoffman is devel oping into contralto
of unusual depth and excellence, and
her progress is being noted with Salts
faction by her friends.
