Are you a Christian? Do you low
God with all your heart, soul and
mind? Are you faithful to your Lord
and Master, and do you serve, honor
and glorify Him in all you life, every
day, all through the year? If you are
not in truth, in life a real disciple,
make up your mind today to be one
hencefOrth, God being your helper. It
will be a very sad failure and a very
awful condition you will be in when
you die, as die you must, if you are
not a genuine believer and friend pf
Jesus and have in Him a Friend and
Savior. Despise not Him who brought
YOU with His W precious blood:
"a Christian is the highest style of
man;
And is there who the blessed cross
wipes off
AS a foul blot from his d~ishonored
brow?
If angels tremble, it's at such a

Tue sday night at the BAT quet of the

nearly 500 republican leaguers. The
galleries of the big auditorium were
crowded with spectators.
It was expected that Senator Dsvis,

Cuban situation, and his speech was
awaited with unusual interest. There
vas no reference to Cubs, however, ,un-
til the closing of his address, when he
said:
There has been raging in Cuba an
insurrection, terrible strife for jiber-
ty, which has been met by Spain with
examples of horrors which have deeply
shocked the civilized world, and more
esp cia ly the people of the United

in Poland, Hungary and Armenia, az d

The retirement today of Brigaoier
General Samuel Breck, who has bee''
adjutant general of the army since
Sept mber last, is one of the most i'm
portrait army changes of the year,
from the fact that the adjutant gen.

army in his relations with the sec
retary of war and the president are
closer than tn ose of any osher officer,
not excepting the general in command.
General Breck's successor, chosen by

Big Profits From Football.

The total receipts Of the recent great

were S28, 1896. II. or this amount S27,-
387 was obtained from the sale of seats,
there b,ing 14,819 admission tickets
sold. and the balance, $1,O81.S7, came
from the programme privileges. Yale
and Princeton each get S12,O82.71 as
their share of the net receipts of the
game. This compares favorably with
the game of 1896 on Manhattan field
when the two colleges divided $28, 316.-
66 net receipts. Indeed, but for the
Il TACT IT. that there was one expenditure OF
on Y ale field, the net receipts of 1897
would have exceeded those of 1896.
Princeton shared this expenditure.

IN THREE DAYS.
Sigsbee Hopes to Have Ascertained
the Cause of the DiSas ster

the Cause of the Disaster.
New York.-A. dispatch to the Tri-
bune from Havana says: The Maine
hull is actually in ribbons. but enough
of the vessel remains to determine
whether the explosion came from
without Or from within. The weight
Vt opinion seems to be that the whole
was made by external explosion.
Captain Sigsbee thinks that the in
vestieatiOn to be made by him will be
completed in three days and the result
laid before the court of inquiry. Spe-
.ial pains seems to be taken to gather
fac:s which would help to e-tablish
whether Or not the damage could have
been cause by submarine mine TIE
spanish authorities have the advantage
IN this point. for they know whether
Fhe torpedo system in the harbor has
actual existence or whether submarine
mines were laid, but it ia not expected
that they will disclose the secrets of
the Havana defenses to aid foreign in
veStigatiOn.
Some persons believe that the plot
vas carried out by Weyler's party and
hat the secrets we're disclosed 70
conspirstors by the officials who were
With Weyler, and who, during bis in
umbency, through their official posi-
tion. became possessed of the in
formation. This is pure speculation,
without basis in fact. Its only slgni6-
cance is that the matter should be dis
cused. The Spanish officers continue
to show that the statements of
torpedo explosion are unfounded.
They do not share the idea that the
explosion came from without.
Captain General Blanco and the
palace officials show every official
ourtesy. Their sincerity is undoubt-
ed. A special effort is being made to
discourage the talk of the explosion be-
ing otherwise than accidental.
The newspapers give prominence to
dispatches ssyipg that it is recognized
in the United States that the casualty
was purely 40 accident.
Prominence is also given to Madrid
dispatches, quoting Sagasta and other
Spanish statesmen to the effect that
sympathy and sorrow have caused q
friendly feeling between Spain and
the United States
