STATE CONVENTION ENDS
SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS RETURN
 HOME.

Addresses Made at Yesterdays Sessions
 -ResolatiOns Adopted Some Figures
 From State Central Committees Re-
 port.
 The twenty-frst biennial state Sun day school convention closed it's three days session yesterday afternoon at o'clock. The storm greatly diminished the last days attendance. The after noon session was opened with song service conducted by Professor Fostor, which was followed by a devotional ser vice led by the Rev. William McNicholl of this city.
 The address of the afternoon was giv- en by the Rev. Asher Anderson of Mer- iden, who spoke on "A Fundamental Work of the Church" He said that he did not at all underestimate the impor- tance of the church when he said that the heart and brain of church life is to be sought in the Sunday school. He urged the important of better study Of the Bible, saying that the lack of such study is shown by the ignorance of the Bible shown by many old church mem bers and by those who have left the Sunday school. Some infidels know more about the Bible than these per- sons He believed that the whole church should be studying the word of God. Heretofore enough regard has not been shown for the sentiment which comes with age, but we keep on speaking of and making the Sunday school school for children only. He believed this should be stopped and that the child idea should be modified. Boys and adults do not like to be classed with babies and the reason why they leave the Sunday school is frequently be- cause they are ashamed to belong to a child's school.
 He believed also that better methods of studying the Bible should be Entro- duced. The International and Blakes- lees Lesson helps are neither of them satisfactory, inasmuch as they substl- fute a few leafs for the entire word of God. The old union question book was about as satisfactory as any lesson help vet published. He denounced cram ming as injurious and said it was bet fer to know well whole chapter of the Sermon on the Mount than the whole of the book of Matthews.
 The purpose of the teacher in his teaching should be to bring together the soul of the scholar, the word of God and the divine spirit.
 After special prayers for Gods bless Ing upon the returning delegates the convention closed with farewell words by H. H. Spooner, of Bulls Bridge, and the benediction.

CONEY ISLAND INITIATED.
Splendid Entertainment Provided by
 the Harmonic Club.

the Harmonic Club.
 Another of the series of delightful in formal social evenings given by the Harmonic club to It's members was spent at the club house on Elm street last night These affairs possess a uniqueness and originality which is very refreshing, and those fortunate enough to receive invitations to be pres ent can certainly look forward to an en- joyable evening.
 They occur fortnightly and it is the aim of the committee in charge to pre- sent different style of entertainment at each one. Last night the hall and parlor were arranged to represent Con- ey Island in the miniature, and it was 8 great success There were the dance hall, the wine room, the museum, the cane fakir, the wheel of fortune, the baby show, the street piano, the gypsy fortune teller and all the rest of the people and other things requisite for a genuine Coney Island. A large number of people were present and all were highly entertained. Dancing was in dulged in to the music of a street piano.

BRITAIN's LONELIEsT ISLE.
Rockall and It's Geological Signii-
 ficance.

Rockdll ana US 6e0lOSlcal SlSnll-
 ficance
 Ask your neighbor in what part of the British possessions Rockall is situ- ated, and even though he be well in- formed man of the world, he is toler- ably certain to reply. "Rockall? Never heard of it. Where in the world is it?" Yet Rockall is practically, if not in a strict scientific sense, a portion not only of the British possessions but even of the British Isles themselves, and the place has a romantic interest which is all it's own. Rockall is a lone Iy pyramidal rock some 70 feet in height and 250 feet in circumference, rising sheer out of the wild Atlantic waves, about 1S4 miles west -half-south from StKilda, in the Outer Hebrldes, 290 miles from the nearest point of the Scottish mainland and 260 miles north west from the nearest point on the Irish coast. More exactly, it's position at least, as nearly as this has been ascertained- is latitude 57 degrees 30 minutes north, longitude 13 degrees 42 minutes west. There is neither soil upon it nor sandy beach round it, the depth of water close up to 1t being twenty or thirty fathoms. A rock" therefore, it must be called rather than an island, or oven an islet: and of all the rocks and island, great and small surrounding our shores, it is at once the most remote, the most desolate, the least known, and in many respects the most remarkable.
 Not only has it never boasted human inhabitant, but no holiday trip per or sportsman has ever desecrated it's shores, and only on one or two occasions is it even known to have been landed upon. Only the finest weather, when the almost ceaseless swell of the Atlantic has subsided for an hour or two, is it possible to land upon it; while in winter the ocean waves far overtop it's summit. This summit can only be reached, even when landing has been effected, by an ascent on the northeast ern face of the rock, so precipitous are it's other side.
 Yet, isolated as Rockall is, it forms, nevertheless, the summit or peak of an extensive submarine plateau, known as "Rockall Bank" which extends in a northeasterly and southwesteriy direction for about one hundred and fifty miles, which has breadth of about forty miles, and about half of which IS supmersed to depth of less than a hundred fathoms. Probably within comparativ recent times Gin the geological sense) the greater part of this bank" was exposed as dry land, which disappeared partly through gradual subsistence and part

THE DRINK QUESTION IN BEL

For some time past the drink question has been exciting among thoughtful persons in Belgium serious reflections, and the figures collected by M. Jules Le Jeune, ex-minister of justice, certainly justifies them. The population of Bel eium is still less than seven millions
 although it will soon pass that total. but it can boast of 19S,O00 wine and beer shops, or one for every thirty-fve per- sons, women and children included. The total drink bill of the country is valued per annum at twenty million pounds sterling. One third of that sum is represented by gin in it's several mar
 ketable forms alone. The compiler of these figures, the accuracy of which cannot be impeached, has no difficulty in showing that this expenditure does not represent all the loss to the coun- try. To it have to be added the loss of time, the deterioration in the quality of the work, and the absolute incapacity i for work that follow in the train of ex- | cessive drinking. But M. Le Jeune seeks to rivet public attention o1 the subject by producing other statistics to show that in "A per cent. of the cases
 of convictions In criminal courts the
 cause of the crime is drink; that 79 per
 cent. of the paupers living in the state
 were drunkards; that 80 per cent. of the suicides have similar origin; and finally, that 45 per cent. of the lunatics were victims to what is called the alco- hol habit If the drink question re- veals a serious flaw in the prosperity of Belgium it must also be allowed that | many of her public men are fully alive | to the peril and seeking to combat it, | London Times

to the officers: Gentlemen,

upon the flag, l have writer out the
old oath of allegiance and signed. The
oath is binding to the death on me,
and l hope it is on you, Lsi each of
you 60 to his cabin and think it over;
then let him come back herr and sign
below me, or let him CO." When the
captain looked at the names he saw
among them that of Hidshipman
Schley. "You signed, Winnie?'' he
asked. "Aye, aye, sir" was
the reply. ''Same flag and
same Uncle Sam in Maryland as in
Massachusetts, you know" "God bless
you, boy" exclaimed The old man.

SmOkeleSS powder.

Thus far in the fghtine-both by
land and by seattle Spaniards have
enjoyed marked advantage through
the use of smokeless powder. First at
Manila and then at Metan-
zas, San Juan, and Santiago.
our sailors were handicapped not
only by the ddnse clouds of smoke from
their own guns. but by the fact that
the cannon of the Spaniards were not
easily located because they emitted no
smoke. And the same thing is true of
the small arms. Huntington g marines
formed good targets for Spain's bush
whackers because every shot they fred
revealed their exact location by q puff
OF white smoke. The Spanisrds, OF
the other hand, popped away from the
thickets without giving any Indication
OF their whereabouts. Skaters skirmi-
shers shave encounteredthe same diff
hculty, and it is easy to see that in
case of general engagement the
Spaniards will enjoy great ad-
vantage. 1t is too late to remedy this
defect now so far as the OPERA
lions against Santiago are con
cerned, but smokeless powder should
certainly be provided for the campaign
against Havana. We can't afford TO
give away weight even with so puny
an adversary as Spain.
