SUNDAY MEDITATION.
A Study of the International Sunday

Subject: The Resurrection of Christ. Cor,

INTRODUCTION.


Our National Constitution does not state a
religious creed, and yet it cannot be held that
we are Goddess people. The custom OF caus-
ing every President of the United states 20
take the oath of office holding Bible jointly
with tho administrator Of the oath, and TO
kiss the open Bible in attestation OF his accept
ance of the Office and loyalty to the Govern.
ment has some religious bearing. The cierk
of the United States Supreme Court furnishes
the Bible for each occasion. The Bible is AFTER
ward presented to the President. We have Two
exceptions-those of Mr.. Cleveland aud Mr. NC
Kinley. The first preferred to use the little
red Bible given him by his mother when ne
left home to shift for himself. In the case OF
Mr. Mckinley the Bible Was presented for the
occasion by the African n. L. Church through
Bp. Arnett It is beautiful copy, covers OF
blue morocco, satin Innings, gilt edges, with a
gold plate, inscribed: William Mckinley,
President of tho United States of America, In
augurated March 4, 1897" The first lnaugu-
sation of George Washington was delayed 9
little. It was found there was no Bible. ana
one was borrowed from St. Johns Lodge OF
Free Masons, No. l, New York City. The first
Inauguration occurred in New York. April 81,
1889. The Book is still greatly treasured Dy
that Lodge.
One thing is certain, the youth OF our coun.
try should be thoroughly trained in the holy
Bible. Il means loyalty, truth, knowledge.
The RESURRECTION OF CHRIST.

three years of suffering. He says: Il

CHIMAY IN A DUEL.
Offended at Editorial Champi ons hi p
of His EN-Wife.

PARIS, April 25.-The outcome of ar
ticie in the Echo de Paris was a duel with
swords this morning between M. Clemenceau
and Prince Caraman de Chimay Both were
wounded simultaneously, Clemenceau receiv-
ing a cash in the right arm and the prince
a slight scratch on the shoulder.
M. Clemenceau's article in the Echo de
Paris characterized the interference with the
right of the Princess de Chimay to appear
at the Folies Bergere as shameful. The
writer said her fortune entirely spent
before she was divorced, and that the eco
per night for which she had been engaged
would help to keep her. not merely from
descending lower, but also provide clothes,
food and other comforts of life.
What business said the writer, had
to prevent her from going upon the stage
of the Folies Bergere? Wat was the honor
of the Chimay family to them?'
The Prince de Chimay sent challenge to
NJ. Clemenceau by Sobeig, the well-known
fencing master, and NJ. Clemenceau's sec
onds were M. George Perrin and NJ. Hanc.
The Prince de Chimay refused to allow the
matter to be referred to an arbitrator, and
insisted upon an apology or a duel. NJ.
Clemenceau declined to apologize. The Prince
de Chimay chose swords and the fight was
a very lively one, the Prince de Chimay
ripping a severe wound in the shoulder OF
his antagonist between the pecteral MUSCLE
and the deltod. The flesh was torn oil on
the point Of the sword, but no serious conse-
Quences are expected by the surgeons
The Prince de Chimay is pictorially repre-
scented all over Paris in poses plastiques, in
every variety of dress and undress. Crowds
gather around the pictures.

Tor the bull to make mistakes as the bear.
another Illustration of the market uncertain
ty has been the conduct of the deferred feat
ures. The bulls have talked scarcity and
nave invariably advised that the May would
make more money than the July. 1t has not
turned out that way. The July has done as
well as the May, and the September as well
as either.
Everybody is puzzled as to the outcome
OF the May deliveries Saturday the elevator
people as much as anybody. 1t depends large
ly upon the export demand this week If
Liverpool keeps its purchases at the rate of
several hundred thousand bushels day, the
deliveries will not prove burdensome to any
body, not even to the little spectators, who,
without ever expecting to pay for cash grain,
always have most to say about it. If the
spot demand should let up if the weather in
the Northwest should become favorable for
seeding, and if the pit situation should be-
come a little more abearish, the deliveries
will be large enough to suit anybody. The
warehouse men will be certain to deliver
out a good deal Of spring wheat if they
think it will get back to them; and certain
not to deliver out much if they know the
shippers are waiting for it. 1t is not re-
markable that considerable export business
is done here. 1t is the season for it.

WHEAT MARKET BULLIsH.
War Uncertainties Have Made Bear
Movements Hazardous.

CHICAGO, April 25-The Times-Herald, in
its review and forecast ofsthe wheat market,
will say tomorrow: Wheat last week started
under the impetus of the war declaration,
and it was getting the help at the close OF
the week of new foreign spot demand and
bad crop news. Everybody had hard time
of it unless luck was with him, so rapid
were the rallies and reactions; but holders
felt Saturday night their position was all the
time improving. After range or almost
&c the Saturday close was not very much
under the top, and instead of being depend
ent On a war scare. the1 bulls could point
to a more substantial reliance, the purchase
of large lines of spot by the foreign con-
sumner. The sentiment among spectators is
undeniably bullish. The situation in so many
ways has appeared so clearly in favor Of
higher prices and the war uncertainties have
made the short side so extra hazardous, most
of the so-called leaders have been buyers. The
conduct Of the market itself, with its sud
den drops and jerky advances, has been proof
of the absence of speculative sher interest.
While 1t has seemed like a bull season ever
since last Monday, whether the buyer or
seller has made money has depended alto
gether on the time Of his getting in: July
wheat sold as high week ago as 7Sc. as
low Thursday as 71Ae. and was back Satur-

DINGLEY DINGING TARIFF.
Takes Occasion to Dispute Cleve-
lands Statements.

NEW YORK, April 25.-In an interview to-
day Congressman Dingley, chairman of the
committee on ways and means, in reply to
ex-President Cleve,and's criticism at the Re-
form club dinner, last night, that the Re-
publican party won the late election on its
declaration in favor of a sound money, and
not on the tariff ISSUE said:
The fact Is the Republican party won on
both issues, and tariff issues in those parts
Of the country which practically decided the
contest had more to do with the victory
than any other issue. Nothing could be
clearer than that the pledges of the party
made 1t its first duty to provide sufficient
revenue to carry on the government without
borrowing in time of peace.
There is undoubtedly need at the earliest
possible date, Of some legislation to improve
our currency system, but no one knows better
tkan the gentlemen who are criticising the
Republican party that if such legislation
should be undertaken in the present condi-
tion of the senate, no favorable results could
be obtained, and the agitation which would
arise from a long and fruitless debate in the
senate would exert an injurious influence on
the business of the country and would endan-
ger the success of legislation to provide reve-
nue. to carry on the government"

CONGRESS IS LAZY,
Nothing VIII BE Done During the
Present Week.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-There will
not be a quorum in the senate during
the present week owing to the absence
of large number of senators in New
York in attendance upon the cere-
monies over Gen. Grants tomb. Con-
sequently no business of Importance
will be transacted. Probably a major
ity Of the senators desire to adjourn
from Monday until Thursday and from
Thursday again until Monday without
transacting any business of general mo-
ment, and this programme is likely to
be followed. If the wish of the Repub-
lican members of the finance committee
is acceded to, the tariff bill will be re-
ported Thursday, but 1t is most prob.
able that this will be postponed until
next week. The work of preparing for
the reorganization of the senate COM
mittees will proceed informally
Under the arrangement made on Fri
day, the house will transact no business
this week. The house will meet for
mally tomorrow and adjourn until
Thursday, when an adjournment will
be taken until Monday.

NEW TROUBLE FOR TURKS.
Albanian Troops Revolt and Threat
en- tn Attack Janina

Albanian troops Revolt ana Ihreat-
to Attack Janina.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 25.-The
triumph of the Turkish arms has caused
the llveliest satisfaction here. The fol-
lowing telegram from Edhem Pasha is
posted everywhere: "Larissa was occu-
pied today by the cavalry Of the i'm
perial army. The Hellenic troops fed
in disorder, abandoning a large guam
tity of arms and ammunition
This has been put up as a bulletin in
many places, while the people are
also reading Edhem Pasha's dispatch
announcing his possession Of a strate-
gic position in front Of Tyrnavo, which
is as follows:
The hill of Lesdaki, the most important
dominent point to the north of Larissa, was
taken by the Ottoman troops on Friday.
Hamid PaSha's division having left KoSkeSi
(Karya) effected juncture with other i'm
parial troops at Mil1oorin. The town Of
Tyrnavo, which is situated two hours from
Larlslsa, was occupied today by the
Elassona army corps
The Ottoman troops continue to adj
vance toward the plain of Larissa.
OSman PaSha has been given secret
instructions. A dispatch from Smyrna
says that the Redifs, who were called
out yesterday, are intended for the
towns of Smyrna, Vurta and Scala
nova, in order to prevent disturbances
by the Greek residents there.
A meeting of the council of minis
tiers on Saturday considered the expul-
sion of Hellenic subjects from Turkey.
Marked irritation is displayed in Off
cial circles at the Intervention of the
foreign embassies on this subject, as it
| is feared that some trouble might arise
from the ships of the powers sent to
protect foreigners at Salonica.
The cOnSulS at Janina telegraphed to
! the foreign ambassadors here last Fri
day that the Albanian battalions had
mutinied and were refusing to march,
as well as threatening to attack the
town. The Mussulman population, ac-
cording to these advices, has quilted
Janina en- masse, some fleeing into the
country and others taking refuge in the
fortress.
The consuls described their own po-
sition and that of the Christian ele-
ment at Janina, as critical, the vail
having refused to distribute arms and
ammunition to enable the inhabitants
to defend Janina against the Albanians.
The ENJOYS Immediately called the at
tentiOn of Tewfik Pasha to the matter
and demanded the adoption of effective
measures to protect the inhabitants.
These representations have been re-
newed again today to the Porte
