try's life that are the substratum
and the very subtance also of all great
forward movements. And--on the
other hand-shall we credit Alaric with
disrupting the Roman Empire? No!
his strength consisted in the weak
ness of his enemies, who, raised to
Heaven by their privileges, brought
themselves down to destruction; not
by the wickedness of any one man,
but by the general unrighteousness
and consequent feebleness of the
many.
Alas! the strong and the weak to-
gether make up a nation, and its
continuous power is possible only by
an increase or the strong and decrease
of the weak. The weak are those
who do not utilize life to the full;
who loving the comfort of the hot
house, perish at the sincere chidings
of the north wind; who crumble like
sand ramparts at the first touch of
the ocean of testing that all charac-
tiers must endure il they would be true;
who seek for themselves the quiet
inches OF life, satisfied to forego the
honors if only they can escape the
strivings that precede honors; who,
like tropic sayages, are content with
food secured without labor and
much sleep with late awakenings;
who being weak are selfish, and shut
away their compassion from strug-
Cling eager humanity whose efforts
they scorn, but whose shoe-strings
they are not worthy to unloose; who
have the forms of men but the viru-
lent softness of jelly-flsh; who have
the outer appearance of manly gran
deur but the attributes of internal
parasites, hidden, despised, inverte-
brate, yet ever fed by others labor.

retires. Judge Day wishes no further
public employment. His only desire is
to return to his law office and devote
himself to the requirement of financial
independence.
When he left Canton his law prac-
tice was worth nearly 100000 year,
and as he has large family and only
moderate resources, he deems it his
duty to return to his work instead of
giving his energies to the government
for compensation not sufficient to
pay his family expenses in Washing
ington.
Judge Days determination to retire
is the cause of much regret to the pres.
ident and his ass ociates.

WOULD ENLARGE OHIO.
A Scheme Whereby West yirginia's
Area Would be Decreased.

In the Ohio river, opposite the up
per portion of East Liverpool, o.,
lies Babb's Island, fertile piece of
ground more than a mile long, and
at some points half mile in width.
On the island are several truck farms,
which furnish garden stuff to that
city.
But riyermen say that Babb's Is
land will soon be part of the main
land. The channel of the river runs
on the West Virginia side of the is
land between the Ohio shore and the
truck farms, both at the head and
the foot of the island, sand bars have
formed, which will eventually con
meet with the main land. Already
the river bed is dry between the Ohio
shore and the island for four months
of the year. Rivermen would be
happy to see the channel on the Ohio
side abandoned altogether, and all
the water turned to the West Vir-
ginia side of the island, since it would
improve the channel now used.
There has been talk for years of
asking the government to allow the
change, which, it is argued, would
be in line with the government inn
provements between Pittsburg and
Wheeling. The ground which would
then be filled in between the Ohio
shore and the island would be of al
most fabulous value. The water
front facing the island, is occupied
by line of potteries, and the manu-
facturers would have the old bed fill
ed in years time.
A peculiar question would arise
should the big island become attach.
ed to the main land. Babb's Island
is at present part of West Virginia,
and the course of the river would
attach it to Ohio.

due to the same cause.
AS a result of the riots and disorders.

The disturbances have amounted al
most to rebellion. Thousands of
Czech miners streamed into Prague

MANY CHINESE ReAD THE BIBLE.
Important Question Asked of Students
Was Concerning Noah.


NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The American
Bible society has received from its cor
respondent in shanghai an account OF
the recent examinations for the mas
ters degrae among students. In all
former years the questions asked OF
the candidates have been on liter
airy lines and have been limited to
the literature of China since the days
of Confucius This year the imperial
edict directed that the questions to be
asked and answered should relate to
matters Of Importance at the present
time The following surprising ques-
ton was read by 10000 students IN the
examination halls:
"What do you know Of the repeople-
ing of the earth by Noah and his
family after the food3
The Pekin examination board, which
framed this question, had been reading
the Old Testament, which is now
recommended as a text book and for
which there is an increased demand.
The statesmen of China, her scholars
and her students are said to be study
ing the Bible because it is the classic of
Christian countries. They have to be-
come acquainted with western religion,
wester. science, western political econ
omy, western philosophy, and they
read the bible among the other books
current in western countries.

In view Of many advantages to &C

recommends that the government
armor factory includes a plant for the

On the subject of sites the board
saws:

not charged with the selection of a site

however, apends to this report list of
places recommended to the board as

The board says already new processes

is evident that in any factory which

GREAT RUSH TO KLoNolke.

Consul Smith Says Canada Is Scheming
to Get the Benefit.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Consul Smith,
at Victoria, in his report to the state
department., discusses the subject of
the Klondike gold fields. The advices
received at Victoria, he says, indicate
that the rush in 40 to California and
later to South Africa will be eclipsed
by the goldseekers headed for the Yu-
kon in the early months of 1898.
Agents from England have been at
Victoria making arrangements for 5000
Or 1900 goldseekers
Merchants there have secured great
Bupplies of outfit goods and the trans
portation companies have made ar
rangements sufficient to make daily
lines between that port and ST.
Michaels, Dyea, Skaguay and Fort
Wranele.
The Canadian authorities have made
every possible arrangement for an all
Canadian rou7e to the gold fields and
are trying to make it to the interest of
miners to purchase ti4eir outfits in
Canada. This is to be done through
tariff laws.

Rubin at the outset was awkward

Rubin, but he gained courage and
finally became stronger and captured
