TOTS melt away before determination
 and courage, Nehemiah like Crom-
 well, Washington Lincoln, like Paul
 knew how to boise self-reliance upon
 God. His very practical methods of laying out and apportioning the work furnish a great lesson. The workers all had their swords as well as their troWels ready to rally for defense at the approach of an enemy. Nehemiah did not ask the lord to bless any lazi-
 ness or shiftlessness. The work of Ne hemiah is particularly instructive to us because there is no miracle connect ed with Moses, Joseph, Daniel and others. Great men of scripture were backed up by many miracles No so Nehemiah, his work was all done as ours must be, by faith, courage and | determination. Observe, too, the Will- | ingness with which the companies committees-to whom the several DOT | tions of the work were assigned, took | their parts. There seems to have been no excuse making, or enquiry can you get somebody else" words which often seem to pastors like the real mot | to of their churches, so often are they l met with. Such pastors feel like read | ing the catalogue of workers In the | third chapter, with long, hard names, | just out of respect to the memory of such willing workers. If we could have that kind of willingness to-day what might we not accomplish with all our multiplied facilities! With the | though of such faithfulness as Nehemi- | ah's before us let us recall the words 1 of the Master to the servant who used | rightly his talents; Thou hast been faithful over a few things" A few
 things; few things? Faithful? Have
 we been faithful over anything?
 May God give each one of us grace to
 be faithful henceforth at least over ] few things.

LESSONS FROM NEHEMIAH
SERMON BY REV. r. B. WILLSON
 YESTERD4Y

At Dwight Place Church-BoolS of Ne- hemiah u Good Manual on Art of Combining Faith and work-some Thoughts Which n Close Reading of the Book Suggest.
 The Rev. T. B. Wilson of this city preached yesterday morning at Dwight Place Congregational church, There were no preaching services in the even- ing, Dr. Twitchell is expected to be home by next Sunday.
 The discourse was upon lessons sug- gested by the character and work of Nehemiah. The substance of the ser mon was as follows:
 There are at least three eminent, sa- gacious, incorruptible business men spoken of in scripture, Joseph Daniel and Nehemiah. Each of these put a great deal of business into his religion, and great deal of religion into his business. The book of Nehemiah is a SoOd oll Illt dII Ol faith and works. The great work he did was to return to Jerusalem and re- build the walls of the city, which had been thrown down at the time of the captivity. Out of his manner of ac- complishing this enterprise such lessons { as the following may be drawn. That of splendid energy devoted to the lord s affairs His life was practical ser mon on the text whatsoever thy hands findeth to do, do it with thy might" His energy sprang from the conviction that he had found something worth doing. ''I am doing a great work so that I cannot come down." was his reply to local governor who tried to draw him into conference and make him trouble. Would that there were more who can tell great work when they see it! How few of US know how to stick to the highest and greatest things and not "go down." Of all the causes that conspire to bring or troubles in business life and private life, strict devotion to ones own proper business is responsible for the very fewest.
 It is inspiring to observe the courage of Nehemiah. His work is a lesson tc < that large company, the esily discour- aged. Both real and imaginary ter

DAN e.. 2:OS1a.

 Recently Purchased by New Haven
 Man-The Pacer Engaged in Several
 Stake Races.
 One of the fastest horses at the June meeting at the new track at Bridgeport was the bay pacing stallion Dan O., 2:0S1s, winner of the free-for-all, both trotters and pacers, The pacer won the race in three straight heats and, as stated, made the fastest time made in a race during the Bridgeport meeting. In recent contests and in his track ex- ercises he has shown several miles fast CT than his record and he is credited with half mile at two-miunte gait.
 Dan Q. was foaled in 1893 and is con- sequently only five years old. He was sired by Simmicolon, he by Simmons, 2;2S, by the famous George Wilkes, FPS, one of the two best sires of the Ham, bletonian family of trotters. The dam of Simmicolon was Colon, by Strath- more, a creditable son of Hambletonian. The dam of Dan Q. was Ypsilanti Belle, by Montgomery, a descendant of Jay Gould, 2:12k, by Hambletonian. The second dam of Dan Q. was Lottie, by Waverly, he by Hambletonian.
 From the foregoing it will be seen that the fast little pacer is remarkably inbred to the greatest sire of fast horses.
 J. H, Bronson of this city, who re- gently purchased Dan O., will start him in the several stake races in which the pacer has paid engagements. The pur- chase of the horse included the pur- chase of the bicycle sulky and the few boots that the pacer wears in races.

Mrs. Horace Day, wife of the vener- abe and much esteemed secretary Of the

 ters, Mrs R. w. Woodward of Frank | lin, Conn, and Miss Anne F. Day, teacher at the Hamilton school. She | was a lady of much refinement, a
 charming hostess, amiable and much beloved by large number of | friends, to whom her death brings a l deep sense of personal bereavement
 and sorrow. She seemed much
 younger than her years and was inter
 ested In all the events of the day and
 her pleasant home abounded in histori- cal and family relics and treasures, in
 which she took a lively interest The
 public will deeply sYmpathize with MT | Day in the sad loss which he has sus- l tained.

intervened Mr.. Handy has made such
an admirable record that his nomina-
ton for a second term is a foregone
conclusion and the nice words which
the Every Evening is now saying
about Mr.. IIoffecker are merely the
grounds laid for future attack upon
Mr.. Handy and possibly an unqualified
endorsement Of Mr.. Hoffecker. To the
Democratic party the Every Evening

and will continue to bite the hand
which feeds it. It's owner never for

HE MOTLEY POPULATION OF
THE PHILIPPINES.

AS is seen, and, indeed, much more
so than can be seen at the first glance,
a mongrel, heterogeneous population Of
unknown or uncertain origin, affording
fine but puzzling subject of discus
sion for ethnologists, who, for that
matter, are mot agreed on a single
point in the controversy. Who are the
.Igorrotes, Remontados, Tinguaines,
really? We'll, let the academicians de-
eide; it is their affair. As to the half
breeds no one gives himself the trou-
bic Of clearing up the mystery OF their
generation. GIalf-breeds of Spaniards
and INDIAN women; half breeds Of
Germans, English and French and IN
dian woman; half breeds Of half breeds;
crossing of hall breeds; crossing CT
half breed half breeds-just try TO
thread your way by means OF the
forms Of skulls through this web OF
humanity! But come they from where
they may, the political question CEN
tres on only a few points, and on these
points 1t is fixed: The immense ma
iority Of the inhabitants of the Phil
ippine Islands are not in any sense
Spaniards; among those who are so in
different degrees, an Overwhelming
proportion are so only in very low
degree. and even among those who
claim the rame of Spaniards, 'he very
great majority were not born in Spain;
never even touched the soil Of the
mother country.-Boston Transcript.
