ceventeen Years of Christian En-
deavOr.

February second the Christian En-.
dea vor society celebrated the seventeenth
onuiversary OF its birth. These have
h.en seventeen eventful years. Indeed, it
i not TOO much to say that they have
been epoch-making wears, and that only
eternity can give iull revelation OF what
has been done Tor the cause of Christ,
and in bringing blessing to the lives OF
millions OF young people. The next gen
Grafton will show more fully than this
the brneHcent results that have followed
tbe inauguration of the Y. P. S. c. E.
Those who have observed the movement
most closely are readiest to declare the
CONVICTION that it was born Of God, that
4 has been blest oil God, that it has been
ouided by God, and that it has done Clio.
rious service for God. The seventeen
years history of the movement has
served to emphasiz. he fact that young
neope have power. and can use it. The
true stories OF the development of the
latent talents possessed by the youth Of
our churches are stranger than any fc-
t;on. Another fact that stands out
prominently in the seventeen years that
lie behind the movement is the supreme
ottractivenesS oil Christ to young people.
No longer is it thought necessary to at
tract young men and women by amusing
them. 1t is now seen that they are best
attracted and most powerfully and per-
manenlly held by the winsomeness and
magnetism OF the divine saviour Of the
world. When put to the test we discover
that he still has power to gather around
him, and to enthrall in his service, "all
sorts and conditions of men," This is
why there are today nearly ihy-three
thousand societies OF Christian Endeavor
in churches, on ships, in prisons. work
shops. post Offices, almshouses, hospitals,
orphanages, reform schools, barracks.

The 0lee Club Concert-A large nun


Der Ut people rose 10 the third story OF
the Academy building last Friday even.
ing to enjoy the concert given by the
Glee Club connected with that institu.
ton, and the programme presented was
a pleasing one. The club, which COM
prises "a students, was organized under
the energetic direction of c. H. Lingham,
one OF the faculty. and has been rehears-
ing persistenty tor some time past. 1t
has been heard occasionally at local en-.
tertainments, but this was it's first pub
lie appearance on its own behalf Since
It's organization it has been mainly di-
rected bv II. H. May and B. F. Harris.
and has made gratifying progress. The
audience appreciated every one OF the
three selections by the club, and gave
the Song OF the Sea" a merited encore.
The Y. M. c. A. orchestra did some ex-
cellent amateur work, this Organization
IS comparatively recent and includes
much musical ability that has already
contributed materially to the success OF
several local affairs.
Mrs. Brooks was not able to meet her
engagement. and Miss Shufelt who was
down tor the fifth number on the pro-
gramme, substituted for her. Miss Shu-
felt, as usual, pleased her audience, and
her singing OF Happy Days" with violin
obi cato. fully deserved the encore given
it. Mr.. Partridge plays with much taste,
and the general effect of this number was
very pleasing. MIR. ShuIet's singing OF
Forgotten" was given an encore, and
his response, sailor song, brought out
the fine quality of his bass voice even
better than did his regular number.
The Garden of Singing Flowers" a
cantata, was the closing, and most in.
teresling. feature OF the evening; and the
gardener. the daisy, the buttercup, the
rose, the lily and several other posies-to
say nothing OF the man in the moon
sang their stories well and highly enter
tanned the audience. This cantata com
pri>es variety that always pleases, and
its manner of presentation at this time
was very satisfactory.
Miss Alice b Warden has been the &C
compauist OF the Glec Club and has
proved herself fficent in that important
position, showing that sympathy with
the singer without which no accompan
list can score complete success. The ac
compartments Tor the solos were by Mr.
Harris, who also directed the singing o
the Glee Club.
The club cleared about thirty dollars
by the entertainment.

Milk is an admirable food, containing
all the elements of nutrition In a form
Sapable Of ready assimilation. Con-
trary TO the universal opinion, however,
milk Is not always web adapted to the
use of the sick. A very active condition
Of the digestive organs is required for
the proper conversion Of milk, and the
digestive fluids of the sick do not come
up to this standard. Moreover, the
facility with which milk absorbs gases
anddeyelops poisonous ptomaines must
be borne in mind. It is In this way a
ready source of infection even when
drawn from healthy COW, and there
is little doubt that much of the milk in
use is not obtained always from healthy
animals. Heat is the most satisfactory
Of all sterilizers, and when milk is
boiled IL is probably safe. The boiling
also renders it more digestible. The
krst action of gastric juice upon raw
milk is similar to that produced by
heat, but it requires a very active solv-
ent. Water is also q familiar source of
disease, and all that is used for drink
ing purposes should be previously
boiled.-N. Y. Ledger.

Of Informal conferences with the off,

purpose OF making things more COM

are doing all that men can do to take

tain existing laws and regulations and
one OF General Boynton's objects Is to
smooth these out. Secretary Aiger came
instantly TO the relief Of the soldiers
several days ago, when II was made
apparent that some emergency meas
ures would have to be adopted, and he
authorized the park commission to pro-
ceed without delay to secure such sup
plies as wood, buckets. etc, as the
quartermasters were not able to pro-
cure at short notice.
General Boynton says that there were
Wednesday 10000 troops in the park
and that II was the finest body Of sol

LONDON, April 29.-The Berlin cor
respondent OF The Standard says:
Il hear from good source that EN-
peror William, who is deeply interested
In the Cuba question, has repeatedly
taken occasion to explain his views as
to Germany's neutrality. His majesty
is all the more entitled TO pursue his
present policy as he possesses absolute
proof that the United States does not
intend ever TO annex Cuba. They are
prepared to suffer defeat from the
Spaniards at first, but they will not end
the war until Spain renounces her
sovereignty over Cuba, which can then
and not till then gradually be restored
to order"

Debate on War Revenue Measure Closed
Last Night.
WASHINGTON. April 29.-The gen
ersl debate on the war revenue bill
closed last night, after s1s hours of
speechmaking. The debate yesterday
lacked both spirit and interest. There
was little discussion OF the internal rev.
enue features OF the bill The Demo-
Gratis continued their assaults on the
bond feature and their advocacy OF the
income tax. The latter was rldiculed
as a substitute proposition by the Re
publicans The authority to borrow
money was defended by them as abso-
lutely necessary. There Is a difference
OF opinion on the Democratic side as to
whether the bill should be voted for up
on its final passage after the minority
Amendments are voted down. A num-
her of the Democrats, led by Mr.. Nc
Clellan Of New York, have announced
their purpose OF so voting, but the ma
jority of the Democrats believe they
could not justify a vote for bond issue.
An effort is being made to avoid an aye
and nayvote on the final passage to pre-
vent an exhibition Of the division. and
last night it seemed probable that 1t
would be successful. There may be
some difficulty about the committee
amendments decided upon yesterday as
under the order the bond features OF
the bill must first be taken up under
the five minute rule today II the
amendments TO these sections should
exhaust the time before Z o'clock. the
| committee amendments would be ruled
out and would have to be inserted by
