HIS FALL PROPHESlED.
The Rev. Sweeney's Remarkable Sermon
on the Sultan of Turkey.

The Rev. Sweeney's Remarkable Sermon
on the Sultan of Turkey.
Rev. Y. 7. Sweeney of the Christian
church of Columbus, o., recently deliv-
cred remarkable discourse on "The
Rise and Fall of the Mohammedan
Power"
From the revelations of John and
Daniel he showed that the power Of the
Turkish empire is at an end, and that
1897 is the year when the Holy City is
to be delivered from the determination"
that for /, $50 years trod its streets. 1t
was in 637 that Omar took Jerusalem,
and /, 260 years from that date brings
up TO 1897. The atrocities recently COM
mitted by the Turks in Armenia are
foreshadowed as one cause of the down
fall of the Ottoman empire, and the at
titude of the powers give color to the
correctness of this Interpretation.
Again the defiance of Abdul Hamid,
the present sultan, to the will of the
powers is noted in his reply to the
warning of the Russian ambassador. He
said, II may be the last of the caliphs,
but will never be second khedive. +"

VIII Row at Henley.

The championship four of Canada and
the United States will row in the Hen
ley regatta in England next summer.
The Winnipeg Boat club four are max
ing arrangements to compete for the
Stewards Challenge cup, the symbol of
the fastest amateur four in the world.
The champion Argonauts of Toronto
rowed at Henley in 1895 and created a
most favorable impression, but they did
not win the cup. They rowed what
seemed to many to be a draw heat, but
did not get the decision. The Winnipegs
will sail from New York about March
/. They will take no chances of not be-
ing acclimated, but will be in England
at least three months before the race,
avoiding the mistake made by Cornell
in 1896

The Governors Message.

.. Perhaps few Of the political bosses in
he copper country could have been, be-
fore the nomination, looked upon as Pin
greeites, many Of them fearing, appar-
emily, that be was touched with Altgeld
zsn and would prove too radical il made
governor, but "the people" OF the State
evidently thought otherw SO, a. he was
elected by such grand majority; but il
the governor were measured alone by
the message he delivered on the 9th inst.
&c would look az il be we're statesman
eot no mean order and il he can only carry
out q moiety OF the reforms alluded 10
an his message the people will have every
TeasoD 20 rejoice in his election and ad-
miuistration.
The caucus is the very foundation Of
our electoral system and consequently ia
the place where the fine hand writing OF
the political bosses can be seen, although
sometimes it is covered up so well by
them that it requires good deal of
scratching to get the dirt off with which
&c ia covered. BY wireworking at the eau
-cuses, which are attended by a compare
tive few OF the voters, the politicians are
enabled to send delegates to the conyen-
rtions who often nominate such persons
AS the bosses, not thepeople, desire. The
governor very properly says that "under
a representative form OF government the
people should have free choice OF their
representatives" and that the simplest
means OF expressing their preference would
re by the direct vote OF the ballot holder
and then if mistakes were made the people
themselves would be alone to blame.
The governor calls attention to the fact
that but two OF the stat, vote direct o
put party candidates il nomination,
while every Canadian province has the
direct vote and for that reason il much
nearer the ideal republic.
Upon the subject of taxation he saws
that "the theory of the republican form

portion to their wealth. II this principle

The above, unfortunately, is only the
sory and is seldom put in practice, and, az

BOLD SAILOR GIRLS THEY.

Scotia to New York.

five Young Women Voyage from Nova
Scotia to New York.
Five rOmping rosy-cheeked girls
stepped ashore yesterday from the trim
Nova Scotia schooner Florence r.
aewson. from Sbulee, N. S. The quin-
let are daughters of Nova Scotian lum-
Der merchants. and they made the voy-
age on the Hewson through gales, fogs
and rain squalls, under the care of
Captain William Patterson, who has
also promised the girls parents to take
them safely back to Shulee. Miss Ella
Seaman. who is 30 years old, as she
confessed at the barge office. acted as
chaperon for the party. Her compan-
ions were Misses Nellie Purdy. 10; Eliz-
abeth Gillespie, II; Elizabeth Stan
ford, 49, and Emily Christie. II years
old. On the voyage they occupied state
rooms opening from the Hewson's coy
after-cabin The little schooner car
ried heavy cargo, and her deckload
was piled so high there was barely
room to swing the booms. She ran
into a couple of westerly gales before
she reached Nantucket, and the waves
at times washed clear over her. The
plucky Nova Scotia girls proved good
sailors. however. and, far from being
seasick. they developed appetites that
kept the cook busy after the first day
out In the handling CT the vessel they
also evinced the lievliest sort of inter-
est, and their desire to be on deck even
when the tempest was bowling loud
est wrung the shippers heart; for he
knew that IL one of his fair charges
was swept overheard the chance OF res
cue was slight indeed. Through storms
and Gains. however. the Hewson came
unscathed. and she sailed down the
Sound and through He'll Gate yester-
day morning without the loss OF even
a rope yarn. The Nova Scotian girls
declared they had learned more about
navigation than they ever knew be-
fore. and they have kept a log book
that is the wonder of the Hewson's
officers. Captain Patterson escorted
the young women to the barge office,
where their declarations concerning
their baggage were taken in due form.
Then they went uptown to visit friends.
When Immigrant Commissioner SEN
ner learned of the landing Of the Nova
Scotia quintet he expressed the opin-
ion that they should have passed
through Ellis Island and he intimated
that the case would be looked into and
a search made for the girls. John c.
Moore. agent OF the schooner. at "A
Cortland street. was greatly annoyed
when he heard OF the Commissioners
decision. These girls" he said. 'are

Der business there. and are friends Of

he world awoke IN gusty spring
10 hear the song bird carrolling,
With madrigals the south wind
strayed;
And every dell and every glade
Echoed the melodies he made.
Then came the ardent summer hour,
When cherished buds burst into flower,
When reveling roses drank the dew;
When days were long and skies were
blue
and Fortune bade our dreams come
true.
And next the days of autumn sent
The dignity of calm content,
And frosty tintings touched the wood,
And nature, all-beloved. stood
CARRIED in a glory vast and good.
And last of all comes the caress,
The slumber touch Of WEAKNESS;
And to his couch of sheltering SHOWS
With duty done, the old world goes
And smiles that he shall find repose.
