This is the one great theme of the gospel and of the law Take the blood out of the bible and you take the life out of it. There is not a single book hut will bleed if you cut

NATE NOT CHANGING.

A correspondent in Northfield
question, Were the winters of fifty
or seventy-fve years ago much
colder, or Were the snowfalls deeper
than at present? The opinion is wide
ly held that the winters were colder
and the snowfalls deeper, but | can
find nothing to warrant the belief
except that in the first part of the
century much larger percentage of
the population lived in the hill towns
or in the interior, which are both
colder than the valley or the coast
towns"
On the general question as to ap-
probable changes in climate the edi-
tors opinion is that there has been
no such change in any respect what
ever so far as meteorology proper Is
concerned. says Prof. Cleveland Able,
in The Monthly Weather Review. II
we divide our records OF the weather
recorded in North America since the
days of Columbus into two periods,
viz, before and after the year 1900,
We shall find that every popularity,
such as remarkable storms, winds,
rains floods frosts etc, recorded in
the current century can be matched
by a corresponding remarkable event
before the year 1900. The popular
impressions alluded to by our CORES
pondent result almost entirely from
the imperfectlons OF our records and
especially Of our memories. There
is large class OF persons whose
habits OF thought are so crude that
when they experience any very re-
markable weather they jump to the
conclusion that the climate has
changed, forgetting that they them
selves have had such limited per-
.onal experience that they are not
fair judgs Of the weather over the
whole country or of the climate OF a
century.
Our correspondent seems to suggest
that a certain change in the habits OF
the people. such as the removal from
the interior to the coast. or from for
ests to prairies. or from country to
city. or vice versa. will partly account
for widespread errors In respect to
the climate. The suggestion Is ex-

cellent, but the editor would be in
clined to interpret the phenomenon
somewhat differently. The general
movement OF the population in the
past century has been from the Allan
tic states westward, and from the
country to the city, or quite opposite
TO the movement suggested by our
correspondent. In fact, We find no
real agreement in the so-called pop-
ular traditions with regard to the
weather. We have met with quite an
many persons who think the winters
are more severe than formerly. Every
thing seems to depend upon how and
where the oldest inhabitant" lived
when he was boy as compared with
his present condition. The average
climate of New England so far as the
weather is concerned has not ap-
probably changed since the days
when her Oldest forest trees were
young saplings, and that carries us
back nearly 500 years

NOVELTIES IN GLOVES.

The severely plain glove is not
gaining in favor, according to tho
amiable head OF the glove department
i'll one of the leading stores here.
There is demand for fancy stitching
and trimmings for clasps and hooks
instead Of buttons and decided pref
erence for pale tans and greys and
deep Russian green for the street and
for light yellows, pearl shades, pink
and green for evening wear Novel
ties are out in tan, with pink stitch
ing, black with yellow, yellow with
lavender and OK blood with green.
The lambskin two-clasp glove in all
colors is the correct thing to wear with
tailormade costumes. An old glove
that is to be introduced for evening
wear is of suede to the wrist. From
the wrist to above the elbow it Is a
lace run through with narrow rib
bons. In some cases these ribbons
are spangled with sequins. The glove
is secured at the top by ribbons run
through a beading Of embroidery and
tied in a bow.

A NEW USE FOR MEGAPHONE.

A new use for the megaphone has
been found in the construction of the
sky -Scraper." When an Office build
ing now going up in New York had
reached a height of but two or three
stories, the contractor had no difficulty
in mounting to it's highest point and
with forceful words stimulating his
Workmen to renewed exertions. When
the floors began to run up to eight and
ten, he found the exercise of going tc
the top every time he wanted to ex-
press his feelings, altogether too vio-
lent, and it impaired a distinct flavor
of Feasibility to the language which
began to flow with his returning
breath. So he conceived the brilliant
idea of having megaphone con-
ST. ucted to connect his headquarters
in the first story with the top, where
the men were at work. When the
work lags now, or any conflict Of
his voice heard at the seat of the
authority arises, he is able to make
ttouble without moving from his sane
tum, much to his own satisfaction, II
rot to that Of his employees, who say
that the megaphone gives an irritat-
ing asperity to profane language

GERMAN CYCLlST CLEVER.
Ieuton Had a Simple Way to Ride
Down Steep Cliff

we Americans travelling abroad
are apt to be very proud of our repu-
tation for cleverness," said a tourist
who went bicycling to Europe last
summer. And no doubt we have
reason to be. But l am going to tell
you how l had some of the conceit
taken out of me:
I'VE were going through Switzer-
and and had reached the close of the
first days descent toward Geneva. The
road had been too steep to coast with
out the aid of brake, and, as we
were afraid to use our brakes for
fear our tires would not last us
through our trip, we back pedaled all
the way.
LAS We were sitting after supper
on the veranda of the lodge discussing
the fatigue of our unusual exercise
and dreading the morrow, which
meant more of the same sort, our at
tention was suddenly called to
cloud Of dust descending the noun
tain side. Then we saw cyclist.
coasting as nice as you please, towing
a good-sized sapling, which acted as
an effective brake, without injury to
the tires. One OF the boys ejacu-
lated: Well! Why didn't we think of
that?' The rest were simply dumb.
That man was a German. | now take
off my hat to our German brethren of
the wheel"

RYAN WINS

San Francisco, Feb. 26. 1T took
Tommy Royan IS rounds to dispose
of George Green last night. Neither
man showed mark of punishment
at the finish. The advantage alter
mated until after the thirteenth round
when Rvan's superior stamina began
to tell. lie seemed the most effective
in the close work from this point;
his left jabs on the face. short arm
right hard blows on the body took the
life of the right out of the local man.
At no time could Ryan land right on
Green's jaw effectively; Green sent
several good rights on Ryan's jaw and
head at close range. Ryan's superior
ring generalship helped win the fight.
He allowed Green to tire himself in
the early stages OF the contest and
came with a rush at the finish. The
fight was before the National Athletic
club and crowd of fortv-fve hundred
was present. Joe Woleott sent mes
sage from New York challenging the
winner.

interval for refreshments every half
hour. umpires were appointed and

lay in unloading, becomes more or less
tainted before it can be used. 1t is
estimated that at least 40 Per cent. is
quite useless. Not more than half the
meat issued to Col. Hoods regiment
has been fit to eat, and, naturally,
there has been some complaint.
Near Santiago are great fields of pas
turage and the United States government
would do well to send live beeves here
instead of contract meat. The cost would
be less and the satisfaction far greater.
Aside from the sickness that is inciden-
tai to standardization, the trouble tmong
our soldiers is chiefly mental, rather than
physical, and better mail service would
do much to remedy it. Scarcely any mail
has reached here. The men, more or less
enervated by the climate and deprived of
communication with their homes and fam
lilies, worry grow respondent and sicken
from suspense.

CHARGED WITH RIOT.

Monongahela City, Pa, September 16.
Sheriff Kennedy and posse of six
deputies arrested miners Vice Presi-
dent Dodd and Al strikers to-day on
charges of riot, melting riot and assault
and battery. Among the prisoners
were the members Of the New England
band, who have been furnishing music
= for the strikers, and as they were
marched to the station to take the train
for Washington, the band played
Marching Through Georgia" A large
crowd witnessed the arrest, and there
was great excitement, but there was no
disorder. The strike situation is quiet.
A few men went to work this morning
at the Catsburg mine, but there was no
trouble. The district officials have de-
cided not to furnish bail for the pris-
oners and they will remain in Jail.

THANKS FOR AID.
Letter From the Surgeon in Charge of a
Fever Hospital at Santiago.

A Letter From the Surgeon in Charge OF a
Fever Hospital at Santiago.
Washington, September 16.-The fol-
lowing note of thanks to those who
have contributed to the relief of our
sick in Cuba has been received by one
of the field correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press in a letter just arrived
from Santiago:
United States Yellow Fever Hospital,
Santiago de Cuba, August 20.
p In behalf of the sick who have been
and are now in this hospital, wish to
thank the noble men, women, boys and
girls of the United States who have
contributed to the relief of our poor
sick in Cuba. If those who have aided
in this good work could see only one
of the beams of delight from the eyes
of the convalescents or the sad smile
of pleasure from the pain-furrowed
brow of the sick when something is
will do you good" or, Use this; it was
sent from home" it would repay the
givers a hundred-fold for all their trou-
BILE and expense Only heavens record
ing angel with a pen divinely inspired
could picture the want, suffering and
sickness of our soldiers on this island.
Our sick in this hospital when they
have received the much needed delica
cies sent from America have never
failed to cheer up as though they were
tonic in the mere fact of the gift, and
seldom do they fail to say with spark
ling eyes, God bless the dear people
at home" ORLAND QUICKER,
Surgeon in Charge.
The hospital in question has been
established on an island in Santiago
bay about two miles from the city. The
letter quoted states that conditions have
greatly improved during August, but
there is still much need of delicacies
such as can only be had through the
kindly contributions from the States.
Yellow fever has been less a scourge
than had been expected, the death rate
being held down 10 II per cent, but
typhoid has proved deadly, chiefly
owing to the impossibility of obtaining
the light nourishment so necessary in
the treatment of the disease.

Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa, Sep
TENDER 16.-A majority of the men in
camp are becoming more and more
restless, and unless the War Depart
ment acts promptly there may be mu-
tiny In some CT the commands An Of
ficer In the Two Hundred and Second
New York, which arrived Monday from
Camp Black, and officers of numerous
other regiments admit that the volun-
teers are tired Of inaction and with
no prospect of anything but police duty
in the new possessions of Uncle Sam,
they want to go home. In the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Pennsylvania reg
iments, the men have no disposition to
make requisition for overcoats, be-
cause they will have to pay for them.
They still hope to be mustered out be-
fore the weather gets too cold for their
present equipment. AS long as the
War Department continues to muster
out regiment here and there, the dis
content among the men will continue,
and every time regiment leaves camp
for home, the epidemic of home sick
ness among those left behind increases
In virulence. Some of the officers have
advised Secretary Alger to permit the
in the service from the regiments that
are to be mustered out to fill the
places of these in regiments that are to
be retained and who desire their dis
kharge.
Chief Surgeon Girard issued an or
to-day consolidating the Red Cross
spitals with the second division hos
tails under the management of Major
Charles c. Wiley, of the Eighteenth
Pennsylvania regiment. Captain Wit
tington, of the Fourth Missouri, will
1 be retained as executive officer. The
female nurses furnished by the Red
Cross Society can be used to better
advantage by the consolidation Of these
hospitals.
The findings in the case of Captain
j. B. McDevitt, of Company B, Sixth
Pennsylvania, who was tried by general
court-martial for conduct unbecoming
an officer, have just been made public.
The captain is acquitted and restored
to his command. The testimony in the
case of Lieut.. Wise, of the Twenty
second Kansas, was concluded to-day.
Wise testified in his own defence that
Lieut. Morgan had ordered the soldiers
to dig at Manassas for relics and that
tie men did not know that they were
despoiling the graves of Confederate
soldiers. Morgan denies giving such
orders, although several other wit
nesses corroborated the story of Wise.
The verdict in the Morgan case has not
yet been made public.
The movement of troops from Camp
to the South to prepare for garrison
duty in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines will begin early in October.
The corps will have been established
and in good working order by that
time. The Seventh Ohio regiment,
which has received orders to muster
out, has been removed to the Southern
end of the camp away from all the
regiments except the Twelfth Pennsyl-
yania, which will not be ready to leave
before Monday.

Vessels.
Washington. September 16.-Secre-
tary Long this afternoon issued an i'm
portant order recognizing the North
Atlantic squadron. The feet is reduc-
ed from a force of about 100 vessels to
thirty-two, the remainder being de-
tached ready for disposition in the fu-
ture. The four vessels of the Morgan
line, the Prairie, Yosemite, Yankee
and Dixie, with the auxiliary cruisers
Badger and Panther, are ordered to be
laid up in reserve at League Island.
The fleet as reorganized, consists of the
Indiana, Massachusetts,. Texas New
York, Brooklyn, Amphitrite, Puritan,
Miantonomah, Terror, Cincinnati,
Montgomery, Newark, San Francisco,
Detroit, Marblehead, Mayfower. New
Orleans, Bancroft, Marietta, Topeka,
Castine, Nashville, Wilmington, Ma

Potomac Scorpion and Alvaredo.
Another order from the Secretary put
the following vessels, now at the Nor
folk navy yard, out OF commission:
Siren, Stranger, Tecumseh, VIKING,
Wasp, Frolic, Apache
They are net needed now and their
crews will be transferred to other SHIPS
where there are short service men.
n ~
into reserve at League Island, the Dixie
is manned by Maryland naval militia
men, while the Badger, which served
as a marine transport as well as a
cruiser, carries New Jersey men. These
will be hohorably mustered out OF the
naval service.
There will be no change in the flag
officers of the North Atlantic squad
ron in consequence of the reorganiza-
tion Rear Admiral Sampson, though
at Havana On detached duty, will still
remain in command Of the squadron,
while Commodore Phillip will be in
command of the second section OF the
fleet.
This reorganization of the fleet is
probably the beginning of the execu-
ton of a programme for the reOrgan-
iZation of all CT the forces on the vari-
Gus stations, which will include the re-
vival of the European station, the re-
Mobilization Of the South Atlantic sta
tion and perhaps the creation CT a

purpose Of disposing of that property.
The land has been laid out in city lots,
and sale of the property, either as a
whole or in small parcels, has been ad-
vertised for September "a. The knowl-
edge that this piece of land, SO long and
favorably known by the people of Mar

become general, and many have come
to feel that this city will suffer an If
reparable loss if it should be cut up
