MILLIONAIRE PREACHERS

A millionaire turned preacher IS one of the latest surprises which the revolving aspects of American life disclose The individual who has furnished this spectacle of re- nnnciation to the world rejoices in the name of Anson Phelps Stokes, r. He is q millionaire in his own right and expects to inher- 1t other millions when wealthy an cestors are gathered 10 their faith CTS.
 Strange to say he is young man not long out of college. He hasn't had much opportunity to have what the worldly designate as a good time generally . He has had no experience i'll the palling pleasures of life-has taken no plunge into the whirlpool of dissi- patton. Young Mr. Phelps is no Eleventh Hour laborer. He goes into the vineyard ere the sun has drunk the morning dew from the purple cheeks of the expectant grapes.
 The young preacher will find his money q powerful aid in help ing his zeal achieve the practical results that flow from doing the work of the Master.
 Preaching the gospel in this utiIitarian age with money behind the preacher wherewith to carry out his plans he has formed, to en- tighten the ignorant. spread the light of truth and set allowing the springs of charity, is a conjunction replete with the promise of a phe- nomenal harvest of salvation and ! DeneNOlehCe.
 There is an inviting field for the millionaire preacher in our large cities. He can ampIify the work that Mss Jane Adams ls doing among the slums of Chicago. He can set in motion effective agencie. to teach the slovcnly indigent the practical comfort and hcalthful- ness of keeping cleanly in their dwellings and persons; establish kindergartens for the children of neglect and poverty, cooking and ! sewing schools for the women and girls. manual training schools foi the boys, employment agencies fol Eail willing to work, clean and Icheap restaurants where the invol- untarily penniless may subsist til work Is obtained, and where the employed can live without too Sc. we're a tax on their meager earn. ings or sacrifice of self-respect,
 Of course, the teaching of the word could and should go hand ir hand with these applications oi practical and ennobling charity Faith and Hope would be gladly made a guest in the hearts of these benefciaries after the greatest of cardinal virtues had prepared the

GOVERNMENT SEED TESTING

The act of Congress making ap- propriations for the Department of Agriculture for the fiscal year end ing June 30, ISo9, under the head ing Botanical Investigations and Experiments, Divisions of Bota- ny contains the following clause
 The Secretary of Agriculture is hereby authorized to purchase sam- ples of seed in open market, test same and when found not up to the standard he may, at his discre- ton, publish the results of these tests, together with the names of the seedsmen by whom the seeds were sold.
 The purchase of seeds for the tests authorized under this act will begin July [, IS9S. It will be the aim of the Department of Agri- culture in carrying out this law to put a stop to the sale of seed so poor as to make probable a positive injury and loss to the purchaser, thus giving protection on the one hand to the farmer and gardener and on the other hand to the hon orablc >eedman and seed dealer.

 Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate diseases, and hence the most difficult to get rid of.
 There is but one way to cure it. The disease is in the blood, and all the sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures in the world can have no permanent effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe- cific cures Catarrh permanently, fori is the only remedy which can reach the disease and force it from the blood.

OVER A BILLION GALLONS.
Exports of Mineral Oils From the United States.

Washington, Sept. 22. = The United States Eliminates the world more effect lively and completely each year. Despite the fear so frequently expressed that the large production of petroleum in Russia and Dutch East Indies and the iIl- creased use of electricity for lighting purposes would reduce our valuable eX- ports of Illuminating oils, the year just ended has shown the greatest eXporta- ton of that article in the history of that important branch of our foreign com merce, and the figures for August show the largest exportations of oil for any single month on record. The reports Of the treasury bureau of statistics show that the exports of mineral oils in the fiscal year 1898 passed the billion gallon line, the total, including all classes, be- ing 1,034. .269. .676 gallons. against 973,614,9 ,9t6 gallons in 1897 and S90 ,99i gallons in 1896.
 The large production of mineral oils in other parts of the world, while it has not reduced our exportation, has probably re- duced the prices which our producers and exporters have been able to realize. The exports of oil in the year 1898 were prac- tically double these of 1888, and three times those of 1S7S but the money receiv ed for them was only about g per cent greater than that received either in 1878 or 1888. The total receipts for the 1,034, 269, G76 gallons of oil exported in 1898 were s56, f26,57S, while for the 578. .351 ,63S gallons exported in 1888 the receipts were S47,C42,- 4e9, and for the 33S, S41, ,303 gallons exported in 1S1S the receipts were s46, 574, ,974.

FROM LYNCH OR GO WITHOUT.
Sharp Rebuke for the Regiment That
 Drew the Color Line,

Washington, Sept. z2.-Paymastre Gen. eral Stanton has turned over to the Pres ident all the papers relating to the re- cent unpleasantness growing ou of the refusal of a Texas regimen to receive pay from Major Lynch, owing to his be- ing colored. The President has taken no definite action so far beyond expressing approval of General Stanton course in sending a sharp dispatch to the com manding paymaster of that department, stating in effect that as Major Lynch had been regularly commissioned by the President army paymaSter the troops must take their pay from him or else go without pay for awhile. It ap- pears that after the incident occurred it was reported to General Fitzhugh Lee, in command of the 7th army corps, which takes in the Texas regiment. General Lee appears to have desired to avoid friction on the color question by avoid ing direct issue. When the matter reached General Stanton he insisted that the payment should proceed without ref erence to the color of the payE,asters. Thus the matter stands, with the papers before the President. There is the pcssi- bility that 0 new question may arise on the point of insubordination in refusing to receive pay from paynIasters regular ly commissioned to make payments, and this may lead to the court-s,.a. tial of the Texas colonel.

THE ALGER INSPECTION.
The Secretary Finds Things Better
 Than He Expected.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 22-Sec- retary of War Alger, Surgeon-General Sternberg and party have made a thorough inspection Of Chickamauga today. The first place visited was Letter hospital, where about an hour was spent. From Letter hospital the party went to Sternberg hospital, where another hour was spent. In hoth hospitals General Alger and Gen oral Stefnberg spoke cheering words to each and every one of the many patients and shook hands with every nurse. One remark the secretary repeated was: "I honor you, brave boys, as much as I do any of the war heroes"
 At II o'clock the visitors got to Lytle. During the day General Alger was asked to express himself on the conditions which have prevailed at the army camps, but he refused. He did say, however, without being asked, that the present conditions Of the hos pitals are far better than he expected and practically all that he could de- SlrG

AUTONOMisTs IN THE WAY.
A New Condition in Cuba Has Been
 PTecipitsted.

Washington, Sept 22.-Oficial dis patches received by one of the embas- sies here from Havana confirm the reports that the colonial government of the island is taking hand in shap- ing the terms on which the evacuation sball be executed This, it is believed here, may develop some new phases in Ihe situation in Cuba The colonial government was established by Spain shortly before the war broke cut, there being cabinet officers at Havana, and a legislative body with two houses. IL carried out in measure the long pending plan of giving Cuba home rule by means Of Sn autonomous gov" ernment, but which, while in naul3 aUtonoTncus, it was conte1ded by the insurgent element that genuine homo rule was lacking and that this CO., lonial regime was a continuance Of Spanish domination.
 It appears, however, that these CO., le1ial authorities are taking 8 very aFtiye part in the present negotiations and that there is more or less CO., operation between them and the Span ish government. This creates a con- dition in which the United States must deal not only with Spain, but with l4-CSe WAo claiL1 to represent the IS- land itself, free from Spanish control. The colonial au5onOmist administra- tion is very thoroughly organized and can exert much influence.
 u now seems clear, from official re- rcrts from Havana and Madl1d, that the autonOmist element is taking up the claim first advanced by Spain, that many incidental questions as to Cuba must be settled before evacuation be- gins. But the view among government officials here is that the Cuban auton- omists, as well as the Spaniards, have DC questions to advance CT to be set tied bsfore evacuation is determined UIcn
