TERRIBLE ExPLosIoN.-An accident of a
very serious nature occurred at Stouter s
Bicycle works, near town, Wednesday fore
noon, which resulted in Mr.. Bernard Stouter
being burned in most horrible manner, and
the shop and machinery are in one mass of
ruins.
Mr.. Bernard Stouter was engaged at work
IN the shop. He was running the enameling
oven. Suddenly there was loud report,
caused by the explosion of Caroline tank.
MIR. Stouters clothing caught fire and soon
he was enveloped in flames. He ran to a
pond, which was short distance away from
the scene of the accident, and jumped into
the water, thus extinguiahinff the flames. A
phyaician was summoned at once, who ad.
ministered medical assistance, which some
what aleviated the young mans sufferngs.
Mr.. Stouter was terribly burned about the
head, arms and body.
The shop caught fire and in a short time
was burned to the ground, with all its con-
tents
Mr.. Bernard Stouter died from the effects
of being burned, at an early hour this morn.
ing, after the most intense suffering, Mr.
Stouter is a son Of Mr.. and Mrs. John NJ.

community in their sad bereavement

These statements of DR.. Poor dispose
of tour erroneous assertions which have
crept into various newspaper articles.
They are:
Tirst-That Manila time is eleven
hours behind or later than that OF
Washington. Instead, it is thirteen
hours ahead.
Second-That the imaginary line
which marks the beginning of new
day is an irregular one in the Pacific
Ocean very near the eastern coast OF
Asia, Instead it follows closely the
180th meridian,
Third-That this line for a new day
was SO irregular in circling around the
Philippines as to make Hong Kong
time day ahead of that of Manila,
though but six hundred miles away.
Instead, the actual difference is mat.
ter of half hour, and the same day
rules in both places.
Fourth-That because of this last
assertion the battle of Manila bay was
really fought on Saturday, according to
Manila time, though the news reached
Europe and America on Sunday. Dewey
fought on Sunday, May I, Manila time,
not on Saturday, April 30. Manila time
Though it was Saturday in Washington
at the time. 1t is date so momentous
in American historical calendars that
it is a shame to have it thus obscured
by mistatements and illogical reasoning.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, MAY %, 1898.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, MAY %, 1898.
There is more expectation than war
news in Washington, 80 far as the pub
lie is concerned. That Is why the
hourly rumor finds believers no matter
how wild it may be. There is news
important news-but it is of contem-
plated movements rather than of bat
ties fought or things accomplished; con-
sequently it comes under the ban of the
censorship which has been established
by the government and is not allowed
to be made public. 1t relates to the
movements of our warships which are
trying to get that Spanish fleet which
is lodging around Cuban waters cor
nered where it will be bound to fight,
and there are reasons for expecting the
success of the efforts.
Talk il again prevalent of postpon
ing the invasion of Cuba until fall.
The reasons given are that the rainy
season will begin in Cuba about the
tenth of June, during which it will be
impossible to carry on an aggressive
campaign, and that it will require sey-
eral months time to manufacture the
amount of ammunition that will be
needed by the army, The feet that
this talk is semi officially encouraged,
instead of being rebuked, makes it
probable that it s intended 10 throw
the Spaniards off their guard. 1t is
only the Spaniards who have contended
that military operations could net be
carried on in Cuba during the rainy
season; the insurgents have proven to
the contrary by making their most &C..
tive campaign during that season.
United States troops may be landed In
Cuba any day. What else are the
troops being hurried south for?
The administration thinks it will be
good policy ior Congress to clinch the
friendliness expressed for this country
by the officials of France by making an
unusually large appropriation for
American representation at the big
Paris Exposition in l90O-something
like 81 100000.

SABBATH DEsECRATIoN.-In view Of the
peculiar temptations to dissertation OF the
Lords Day in this time of war, the Presbv'
tcrian, Congregational and Reformed Minis
ters' Associations of Baltimore and its vicin-
ity, resolve and declare as follows:
"That the obligation to sanctify Sun
day as a day of worship and of rest from
work, except works of necessity and mercy,
is the revealed will of God, binding upon all
men.
THAT this obligation does not conflict
with the duties of patriotism or with any
other duties, but rather the observance of il
conduces to the best fulfillment of all duties,
civil or military, social or political, and that
it is the highest patriotism to preserve our
American Christian Sabbath through all the
eXcitements and temptations incident to war.
THAT we especially protest and warn
against violations of this obligation in buy
ing or reading the Sunday newspaper, in
substituting for themes appropriates to this
holy day the discussion of political or mill
tary matters, in giving or attending military
or naval reviews or exhibitions and in
ordering unnecessary work by the civil,
military or naval authorities"

Beware of OintmeMts for

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
OF smell and completely derange the

Correct Time of Manila.

Since the battle of Manila bay there
have appeared many conflicting and
confusing statements regarding the diff
ference in time between the Philippines
and the United States. Some of the
statements have been most extravaganza
and far.fetched.
DR.. Charles Lane Poor, astronomer
of the Johns Hopkins University, says
that Manila time is ahead Of Washing.
ton by Is hours, IL minutes and 2 sec.
onds. His authority for this statement
is the American Ephemersis and Nau
tical Almanac for 1898, published by
the government. The same authority
says that Hong Kong time is II hours,
Al minutes and SO seconds ahead Of
Washington, or about % minutes
slower than that of Manila.
The point at which new day begins,
according to DR.. Poor, is on the merid
ian which is 1902 from Greenwich, or
half way around the globe from the
English observatory which governs
time and geographical measurements.
There are, however, few local depart.
ures from this rule on some Of the small
islands Of the Pacific.
According to these facts when it was
