LIONS INCREASING IN EAST
 AFRICA

In several letters received by the last mail from East Central Africa, men, tion is made, I am told of the unusual number of lions that have made their appearance in the country. One well known hunter, whose experience of East Africa ranges over many years, says that these animals are a perfect terror, not night passing without one or more of the brutes breaking into a Nasal village and carrying off people or live stock. On one occasion recently a lion stalked into a camp, and in spite of all that could be done, carried off a Swahili porter from within few feet of a bright watch fire, where there were men awake on guard. Massailand is otherwise described as magnificent country teeming with game of all kinds and as healthy as can be for Euro peans.-London Correspondence of the Birmingham Post.

American citizenship in every land be-

American citizenship in every land be- heath the sun.
 Finally, let us give thanks to God because this republic is destined to be an evangelizing power in the world, and even a greater extent than ever before American missions are now giv- ing the truth to Europe, Asia, Africa, China and Japan The Anglo-Saxons now hold the purest type of Chrlstiani- ty, and as they come into universal control, as we think they will sooner or later then shall the peoples of this planet receive religious uplift such as IS indicated in sacred prophecy, and such as they can not receive in any other way. It is a growing belief that among the results of the conflict with Spain will be general awakening of the nations in which there is religious darkness, and especially in the islands that have come under the control of the United States. To these people must go an open Bible, pure Christ ianity and a higher civilization Our nation must respond to this loud call of God Our churches must sacredly PSAAShAi tiiV Nplh llON SilIOWH upon them and move forward in the direction of moral enlightenment and of spiritual achievements. For the prose- cution of so great an undertaking the church must seek to draw near to God. and earnestly pray for a widespread religious revival. The energy display ed by our government in meeting the emergency of the past few months, is but prophetic of the greater energy to be manifested by the church of Christ in fulfilling the higher duties of blessing the islands of the sea, and the nations of the world, with the glorious gospel of the Son of God. May the dawn of the twentieth century witness power- full and widespread religious awaken ing! Surely the great answer of God to the prayer of the Christian church must be near. Since the holy spirit works in no capricious way, but ac- cording to the laws of His own being, shall we not pray for and hope that we are nearing one of those periods when God shall graciously visit the church and save souls?
 Hasten, Lord, the glorious time
 When beneath Messah's sway
 Every nation. every cline,
 Shall the gospel call obey
 Thankful for the crops, symbolizing what God has done; for the starry flag, symbolizlng what Christian pat riots may do; ever remembering our earlier and later history, our conflicts and conquests; let us pledge anew our sympathy and aid to the cause of 1of of good laws, of humanity, of true relig- ion, of universal brotherhood and of honorable peace. And let us continue to pray for the stability and perpetuity of our glorious nationality.

IMPORTANT DECISION,
$50O,oO Mortgage Declared Invalid by
 Judge Townsend

Judge Townsend.
 Judge Townsend in the United States circuit court has handed down his de- cision in the case of the Central Trust company of New York against the Worcester Cycle company of Middle town and Charles C. Goodrich as trus- tee in insolvency. The suit was brought by the Central Trust company to fore close on mortgage of s5OO,0O0, which MT. Goodrich as trustee maintained was invalid. Judge Townsend in his decision finds that the mortgaged in debtedness was not sufficiently proved, and that the mortgage is invalid. The case has been pending over a year.
 The mortgage suit in question was brought in June, 1897, and Frank Sulli- van Smith of New York was appointed receiver of the company in Connecticut and also in Massachusetts and New York. The unsecured creditors of the company petitioned the probate court at Middletown to appoint a trustee in insolvency and after protracted hear ings in the matter Charles c. Goodrich of Hartford was appointed to the posi- tion under the Connecticut state laws. He immediately asked leave to inter- vene in the mortgage foreclosure suit, claiming that the mortgage was inval- i'd. Judge Townsend last January de- cided against the trustees petition and the trustee appealed to the circuit court of appeals for this circuit at it's term held in May in New York and that court sent the case back to the circuit court for further testimony. This testimony was taken during the summer and the final hearing was had before Judge Townsend in October and he now sustains the claim made by MT. Goodrich. There was quite an ar ray of counsel on each side. Those for the Central Trust company were Butler, Notman, Joline and Mynderse and Cardozo Nathan, all Of New York, and for the trustee in insolvency, Ed ward c. Perkins of New York and Sey- mour c. Loomis of New Haven. In the decree just passed by Judge Townsend the receiver has been ordered to &C., count for all the property that came into his hands, and a master has been appointed to take testimony in refer ence thereto. The total amount of the unsecured claims amounts to upwards of $200,000, besides the mortgage of $500, 900, and the case has attracted considerable attention especially in the bicycle trade and among dealers con- nected herewith. MT. Marvin, clerk of the United States court at Hartford, has been appointed the master.

 Charles Hypt, one of the most pro- life of modern playwrights, has furn- ished the amusement loving public with many a clever satire and entertaining picture of lifelike characters, whose pe- cularities he so forcibly and enter ain ly illustrates, but in his latest work "A Day and a Night which returns to the Hyperion next Saturday evening after a ten weeks sojourn at the Gar rick theater, New York, 1t is said that for downright fun and clean-cut amusement to be far ahead of any thing of it's class, and as success and a money-maker it has already eclipsed the marvellous record of the famous "A Trip to Chinatown" "A Day and a Night" will be presented here with all the scenery and stage accessories precisely the same as given at the Gar rick theater for the past ten weeks.

There is intellectual grandeur in his grasp of the subject with warmth, sym- pathy and delicacy in every touch Schumann's Carneval was transform ed into a prodigious tour de force. The Preambule was brillancy itself, and the Paganini almost a miracle. The wide skips so danger-breeding to most pianists are played with absolute ease and every lagato-a feat in itself on ac- count of the intervals. Chopin was very tender and the Promenade de lightful with it's rapid, buoyant finger repetition.

That the general commerce of the
entire world is undergoing a remark
able increase is attested not only by
official reports, but by an unusual ac-
tivity in commercial naval construc-
ton in all the great trading countries.
In a single year, England alone has
built fully 100000 tons more than all
the fleets of the world lost by wreck
age or condemnation in that period.
To-day the sailing feet of England
represents more than a third of the
worlds combined sailing fleets, and
her steam fleet nearly 60 per cent. of
the steam fleets of the world. North
America ranks second and Norway
third, each having about two-thirds
more sailing than steam tonnage of
the entire world. In combined tom
mage, Germany holds fourth place,
but in steam alone she follows Eng
land, and in the number and value of
her passenger steamships she also
stands above all countries excepting
England. The commercial fleet of the
world comprises nearly 10000 sailing
vessels of over 100000 tons net, and
more than 11,OOO steamships of nearly
10,S0O, 900 tons net. AS the steamship,
by its more rapid voyages, has trans
porting capacity about three times
greater than the sailing vessel, it will
be seen how the capacity of trans
portation is Observation-Disclosures

DEBT PAID BY A FISH.
A Big salmon Offers Itself just in
Time to Lift Church
Mortgage.

Three Boston men-Herbert Duma-
resp, Charles Hovet and L. r. Howe
were returning from a very ENJOYABLE
salmon fishing trip to the celebrated
Dawson pool, on the Restigouche river,
in New Brunswick. They each took
about seven salmon of good weight,
though the weather was hot a good
part of the time and the season late.
Mr.. Dumaresq was leader of the par
ty as to size of fish taken, he landing
a salmon of SO pounds weight. The
fish was a noble fellow, and it appears
was a fish of good qualities-possibly
of religious turn of mind. 1t hap
pened mis- wise:
The weather was hot and the fishing
rather poor. On that part of the Resti-
gouche river is little church, in which
old gentleman Dawson from whom the
pool takes its name) and his wife are
much interested. o. the day in ques-
ton Mr.. Dumaresq registered a vow
that if he took salmon of 20 pounds
weight he would lift a debt of 500
that had been hanging for some time
like an incubus over the little meeting
house.
Mr.. Dumaresq went fishing in the
morning. not thinking it possible that
he would have much luck; but soon
he had great strike, and, after
most exciting fight, the fish was
brought to the net and was found to
weigh &c pounds.
There is not the slightest doubt in
the minds of all the anglers conversant
with the facts that the salmon had
Mother Dawson's church in mind when
he seized Mr.. Dumares9's fly. That
gentleman promptly raised the
church's debt and received the graft
tude of Mother Dawson, who is firm in
the belief that the Lord sent the fish
But now the real reckoning among
spOrtsmen is that Mr.. Dumaresq owes
that church just seven more contribu-
tions, for did not the salmon weigh sc
pounds, and the VOW was registered at
30 pOunds?-Chicago Inter Ocean.
