friends, you have shown me and mine
great kindness. You have borne with
me in my ineXperience, covered my de-
fects with the mantle of charity, and
supplied me with untold stimulus and
inspiration through your kind and
appreciative words. 1t is hard to break

than many of you have shown me.

At the close of the sermon l.. A Sharp
arose and speaking not from a denom-
national standpoint but simply as a
member of a christian community said
1--WE all know that Brother Jones is a
Presbyterian and belongs to the Presby-
tcrian church, but he is first christian
TO the interests of that communion. His
attitude on public questions which have
arisen during his six years residence
among us has been such as to gain for
him larger constituency. 1t has been
well said that What the world needs is
not more men, but more MAN" and
when MAN leaves a community ii
should not pass unnoticed. His large
utterance this evening is but the echo of
his life among us and hence an
expression from that larger constituency
may be appropriate at this time.
therefore offer the following resolutions
and move their adoption:
WHEREAS, our esteemed brother, Rev
w. +. Jones, a fellow citizen for the
past six years, has severed his pastoral
relations with the Presbyterian church
of Alma and is on the eve of removal to
another important field; and
WHEREAS, the labors Of Bro. Jones
have not been limited to the denomina-
ton of his choice, but his practical
sympathy and helping hand have been
extended TO every movement, secular
and religious, tending to the welfare
of this community and the best int terests
of its citizens; therefore
Resolved, that in the departure of Bro
Jones our village loses a fearless ex-
FOUNDER Of christian truth, a staunch
friend of the Sunday School and tenn
perance cause, faithful friend and
public spirited citizen whose upright
manhood and genial personality have
endeared him to US all
Resolred, that Bro. Jones carries to his
new field our best wishes for the success
which should ever await earnest effort
and that we cordially commend him as
a christian minister, man and brother
worthy of the highest respect and con.
fidence;
Resolved, that copy of these resolutions
be sent TO Bro. Jones and to the loca
press"
The above resolutions were adopted
unanimously by a rising vote.

realization that he was deluded. The fol-
lowing law was enacted some years ago:

This law applies to the Capitol building
and lately Sergeant-at-arms Bright has
been busily engaged in enforcing it, in

calendars for the year 1897 that have been

THE PACIFIC CABLE.
A Hearing Before the House Coz
mittee ON Commerce.

Hearing Before the House COnl-
mittee ON Commerce..
James A. Scrymser and Edmund l.. Bay
liss were before the House committee on
Interstate and foreign commerce today in
the interest of the Pacific Gable Company
Of New York. They both argued upon the
merits of the Scrymser bill over the Spald
ing bill of the New Jersey company Mr..
Scrymser stated that his company would
want eighteen months after the passage of
the bill to complete the cable to Hawaii and
one year more to complete 1t to Japan He
stated that in case of war with England
cable communication with Europe would
be cut.
Mr.. Patterson of Tennessee said that it
had been charged that the Scrymser COM
pany was in sympathy with or had con-
nection with England and English inter
eStS.
Mr.. Scrymser said that of course his
company would expect 20 do English bus
mess, and Mr.. Patterson said that there
should be inserted In the bill a provision
that the cable company should not come
under British influence. Mr.. Scrymser re-
ferred to the statement that Japan wanted
no other cable connection as ridiculous. He
said the assertion of Mr.. Swayne before
the committee to that effect was absurd.
He also said that China and Japan tele-
graph lines were dependent upon and con-
trolled by the Russian lines. The Spalding
company, he said, would build to Hawaii
and stop. His line to Japan would save the
people Of that country more than a million
dollars in tolls, and it was ridiculous to say
that the Japanese wanted no-cable.
THE Japanese" he said. ARE focking
into Hawaii now. This country is going to
have a contest with the Japanese or some
other power to control Hawaii. 1t is neces-
sary 10 have a cable line there as soon as
possible"
Mr.. Scrymser did not like the idea Of leav-
ing the matter of contract with the Post
master General. THE present Postmaster
General will not have time to act, and we
don't know who the next Postmaster Gen.
eral is or what he will do
One of the members of the committee
turned to Mr.. Sherman of New York, who
is member of the House Interstate and
foreign commerce committee, and asked
him If he could not be depended upon to
do the right thing. This little reference to
Mr.. Sherman as possible Postmaster Cen
eral caused quite a litter at his end of the
room.
The discussion among members of the
committee developed that there is yet a
wide difference of opinion on the subject of
the cable.

POSTSCRIPT.

The story of the issue Of this daring
and long memorable enterprise may be
intrusted to Miss Mansel, who sent
copious account of the whole Of the
transactions ON board the ships Queen
and Wellesley to her aunt, Miss Julia
Horne, Richmond, Surrey. Dating from
Sydney, N S. W., after six sheets of
close writing she proceeds thus:
"When this dreadful fight was ended,
Robert, who was kindly permitted by
Mr.. Matthews to remain in command Of
the bark until the island was reached,
ordered the vessel to be steered for the
brig, which was still In sight, like a lit

THANK you, papa, " said Miss Gull
len. But I think I will watch you

Now, Madge, don't be foolish, ,"
said Mr.. Cullen irritably. "You might
just as well have the pleasure, and
you'll only disturb the game if you stay
here.
Miss Cullen leaned over and whisper
ed something, and her father answered
her. Lord Rallies must have heard, for
he muttered something which made
Miss Cullen color up, but much good 1t
did him, for she turned to me and said,
Since my father doesn't disapprove,
will gladly accept your hospitality, Mr..
Gordon. F" And, after glance at Lord
Rallies that had challenging III dc
as please" in it, she went to get her
hat and coat.
The whole incident had not taken ten
seconds, yet it puzzled me beyond meas
ure, even while my heart beat with an
unreasonable hope, for my better sense
told me that it simply meant that Lord
Rallies disapproved, and Miss Cullen,
like any girl of spirit, was giving him
notice that he was not yet privileged to
control her actions. Whatever the scene
meant, his lordship did not like it, for
he swore at his luck the moment Miss
Cullen had left the room.
When Miss Cullen returned, we went
back to the rear platform of 81. let
down the traps, closed the gates, got
campstool for her to sit on, with cush-
ion to lean back ON and footstool, and
fixed her as comfortably as could, even

( hesitated a moment, for had the feel
ing that she had not thoroughly approx

not like to have me stay. Yet she was
SO charming in the moonlight, and the
little balcony the platform made was
such tempting spot to linger ON, while
she was there, that it wasn't easy to go.
Finally asked:
"You are quite comfortable, Miss
Cullen?'
