SCRANTON. MISSISSIPPI, FRIDAY MAY l3. 1895.
DON'T WORRY, DEAR.


Don't worry, dear; the blenkest years
That clog the forward view
Each thins to nothing when 1t nears,
And we may saunter through.
The darkest moment never comes,
1t only looms before;
The loss OF hope is what benumbs,
Not trouble at the door.
Don't worry, dear; the clouds are black,
But with them comes the rain,
And stifled souls that parch and crack
May thrill with sap again.
The burden bear AS best we can,
And there1l be none to bear;
Hard work has never killed man,
But worry did Its share.
Don't worry, dear; don't blanch, don't yield
But dare the years to Gomez
Nor give the enemy the field
Because he beats his drum.
These little woes that hover near
Are nothing, though they gall;
We know that life is love, my dear,
And life and love are all

THE POINT OF DANGER.

Naval experts Have recently bceh
discussing the question: "Where does
tile greatest danger lie aboard fight
ing ship" and the consensus Of Opin-
ion Is that the men stationed far down
in the hull, and hcmmed in between
great walls OF steel. the engineers and
hrcmcn, are IN the greatest danger
and are worthy OF unstinted praise
for the nerve and pluck they show.
Commenting on this fact the Colum.
bus Jo4wtrer-Sun says:
"Thc guntiers Who marriage tie great
weapons OF the ship, the marines and
the officers In command OF the vessel
and the men, are all in trying posi-.
tions. The giant pr0jectiles, tho
bursting SHELLS, the shot from rapid
fire guns that fly thick and fast al
hail, are enough to tcrrify brave men,
hut in the hour OF excitement, with
the sight Of the enemy aud the de-
termination TO return his fire com:
pounded. the almost insane desire to
see bolt strike vulnerable point
and to wittfcss hiS pldnee Tito the
depths below, are intoxicating, and
men forget. for the time, the awful
dangers that surround them, the hOr-
rIblc fate that threatens.
"But down in the bowels Of the
ship, down where the engineers and
1rcmcn have no weapons, but are bus
lily engaged in studying the steam
cages and in feeding the rasefous
CRATES with coal and furnishing the
boilers with steam, is where the grit
is most in demand. They are cut of
from the excitement that stimulates
heroic deeds in the men at the guns,
and without an avenue Of escape,
without a chance OF safety II the veg
sci is lost, they must await the out
come OF the deadly struggle. Little
do they know when a torpedo will
ram its nose against the vessels side,
tear great rent in the hull and let
In flood OF water that will drown
them almost before they can move
from their posts. The duties of the
men on deck require good mettle, but
the duties Of the men In the hold Of
the battleship require the most superb
heroism and courage"
| We agree with the Enquirer-Sun
that courage OF very high order is
required for men to remain 10 the
bowels OF warship when in actiJn
and be able to perform their duties al
calmly as il they we're lVrordt1t of the
fact that a terrible storm OF shot and
shell was raging above thctli. The
engineer officers, the stOkers and coal
passcrs are well aware Of the fact
that shell penetrating a vulnerable
part OF the ship atd exploding makes
great rents in her side, would cost
them their lives, because they would
be drowned by the inrushin water be-
fore they could abandon their stations
and reach the upper deck.
The men serving the guns above the
water liue, however, are protected in
a great measure by shields OF heavy
armOr, and in the event that the ship
is struck by torpedo or receives her
deatl.blow from a well.aimed pro-
jectilc, they have some chance for
their lives by plunging into the sea
while the vessel is sinking, and swim.

picked UP by boats. The men down
in tile engine and drerooms, however,
have hut one chance in a hundred in
getting out, and the ship which was
their home becomes their coffn:-tNew

THE GARBAGE PROBLEM.
The Prospects of an Early Solu-
tion of 1t.


1t is probable that the great District
garbage problem will be solved by an
agreement between Contractor War
field and the District To the effect that
the surplus garbage in the future shall
be removed in steel-covered scows.
Garbage Contractor Warfield and
Health Officer Woodward had a confer
ence yesterday with Commissioner
Wight over the garbage proposition. 1t
was private talk, and its result has
not been made known as yet except in
q general way.
commissioner Wight made a proposi-
ton to the contractor as to what would
be satisfactory to the District in place
of the expensive plant that he is sup
posed to build under his contract. but
does not wish to. Mr. Wight proposed
that Mr.. Warfield furnish steel-covered
scows and remove the garbage from
the District under certain restrictions
in the interest of sanitation. He also
wished a suitable wharf provided for
the expeditions loading of the scows
Mr.. Warfield said that these steel
scows and other expenses connected
with this plan would be as costly to
him as the $4,000 reduction plant
1t is believed that Mr.. Warfield will
accept this plan, however, as prefera-
BILE to building the reduction plant that
he must give up in two years when his
contract will expire.

Every seat in the large auditorium Of

The meeting in the evening was the

Those who had heard him at the ear

by the speakers earnestness that they

by friends.
DR. Meyer spoke along much the
same lines that he did at his first meet
ings here, and endeavored 10 impress
upon his hearers the Importance OF
deeper devotion 10 a higher spiritual
life. He said that the people OF the
day should follow one great rule, and
they would be all right That rule was
obey the laws Of nature and the laws
of nature will obey you" He explained
how the water wheel was used, how it
was placed in certain relation to the
water in order to catch the force of the
water.
so much for the world. early recognized
this great principle. and you all know
what he has been able to do with cleo
tricity." said DR.. Meyer. He has obey
ed the law of electrical force, and has
thereby been able to catch the poger
OF the subtle fluid. When the power is
once caught any machine might he run.
What the people of today want IS to
obey the laws of nature and the laws
of nature viii obey them. They want
to obey the law of the holy ghost and
the holy ghost will obey them. In do
ing obedience tothe law of the holy
ghost we should do so along four lines.
First, we should be clean. God never
pOurs clean water into a dirty pitcher.
Second. we must endeavor to glorffy
God. Third, we must learn to be de-
voted to the Bible and believe in it i'm
plicitly. Fourth. we must uphold and
stand by the trend of the religious
thought of the day"
