SALARY-NOTHlNG A YEAR.

A Preacher Who Dug Cellars and
Moved Grass That He Might Live.
"Preaching for nothing a year and
finding himself" was the comment of
a layman after he heard Rev. John
Angelow tell of his tribulations in the
Methodist Protestant conference the
other day, reports the Philadelphia Rec
ord. While the general sentiment and
sympathy were on the side of the
preacher, there are those who think he
should have withdrawn from the field
rather than toll so laboriously to keep
the wolf from the door when the people
to whom he had been sent failed to rally
to his support. The question has nat
urally arisen among the members of the
conference as to how far minister
should go in his efforts to support him
self while he has regular charge. =.
Mr.. Angc1ow's pathetic story of how
he was compelled to dig cellars, NOW
grass, and do other laborious work ii
order to provide himself and those de-
pendent upon him with theactual neces-
saries of life, and of his triumph in keep
ing out of debt during the past year,
formed a chapter in the proceedings Of
the conference which will not soon be
forgotten. It was easy to see behind
the bare announcement of facts the
long siege of self-sacrifce and woefully
close economy which he must have
gone through to make both ends meet.
Mr.. Angelow is 60 years old, and for
IL years has been in full membership
in the conference. While he is not
man of brilliant attainments nor high
education, he is earnest, intelligent and
faithful to the cause in which he is en-
listed.

AMERICAN SUPPLIES,
why This Country Leads the World
In ElectricaI- Goods.

Why This Country Leads the World
In ELECTRICAL Goods.
The fact that American supply com
panies have received the contracts for
the English underground electric rail
ways has been variously commented
upon by the American technical and
daily press, but when the comparative
statistics of European roads and Ameri-
can lines are read the reason for the
preference shown for American cleo
trical apparatus is apparent. In Ger
many, which leads Europe in this re-
spect, there are only 400 miles of cleo
trio railways; France has IFS; England
as yet but 50; Switzerland, so, and 10
to 20 miles each in Belgium and
Spain, making a total in Europe of $40
miles, on which 500 cars are used. The
total mileage of electric railways in the
United States, according to the latest
figures, is 1875, operated by 953 com
panies. BY these statistics it is appar-
ent that America possesses nearly Is
times as many miles of electric lines
as all Europe combined, and. hence it
is to be supposed that companies which
have had the experience gained IN the
equipment Of these lines should 81. able
to turn out superior apparatus to: that
produced by European manufacturers
limited experience and output. 4.05

Wearing Away. Of Islands In Chesn

Wearing Away Of Islands In Chesn-.
y penlkc hay. 5a ss
We often wonder at the miracles of,
nature, and some imes doubt z3if all
things that biologists tell can possibly
be true. But the changes that are tak-5
ing place every day meet the marvels Of
the past, and show that nature is as.
busy as she ever was in any age or pc
Rod, says the Baltimore American. .
Not many years ago the chainxof is
lands on the eastern side Of Chess
apeake bay were large and valuable.
But they have been getting, smaller all
the time. Sharps, island, once quite a.
settlement, is now a comparatively
small spot in the busy waters. Every
year the Chesapeake bay is different.
The tides that carry the drainage Of
many states through her mouth, which
is only IL miles wide, are working
changes every hour. @
In New York hundreds of thousands
OF dollars were spent-upon a great hotel
near the waters edge. Now the water.
is running under it's foundations, and
there is probability that the house
will be a total loss. The water of the
Hudson undermined one of mans
strongest works, and train pitched
into the river. At Atlantic CITY the
tides have robbed some property own
ers and have made others rich. j.
But the most striking incident Of all
in recent history was the obliteration
OF Cobb's island, just off the coast of
eastern Virginia. The dispatches to
the American say it is gone. Months
ago the hotel went, and so did many of
the buildings. Now the life saving sta
tiop has been swept away, and there
is nothing On the island, which used
to be filled with health, comfort and
beauty. The church is gone. The
houses are gone. The shooting boxes
are gone. The waters have driven man
away, the life ss.ing crew escaping
with their lives. And yet only four
years ago an offer of $4,000 was made
for the island, and company of capt.
talists was prepared to erect upon it a.
handsome hotel.

Sell Them for Strawberries.
According to the Alaska Miner
gentleman who has just escaped from
the klondike region gives the following
account Of some things that happenet'
there: IA man told ME who had win.
tered up there seven years that it was so
cold in January that they froze the
flames of their candles and sold then
Tor Strawberries. He said they kept
their fires over night by putting them
out in the air and letting them freeze,
and then thawed them out in the morn
ing. lie said he had seen four men die
OF collie from eating whisky that was
frozen so hard it wouldn't thaw inside
OF them. He said the cows all gave ice
cream till they froze to death. He said
he knew clerk In hotel on the Yukon
that got rich selling the diamonds he
wore, said diamonds being nothing en-
earth but ice crystals that didn't thaw
till after the clerk had got out of the
country. lie said he had seen man
fall of the roof of a barn and freeze SO
stiff before he lit that he broke in two
when he hit the ground. He said he had
seen smoke freeze in chimney til, the
fire wouldn't draw, and he knew of one
case where the smoke froze after it
got hundred feet up and fell back on
the house, knocking hole in the roof
big enough to drive yoke of steers
through. He said the reason that
nights were so long in that country
was that the dark got frozen so hard
the daylight couldn't thaw it's way
through in less than six months"

Comparison Of the NaYies,

Wit t~'fAAAAA'@AA 3S0AA VI LAS ~ 10y tS3s
So much has been said about the pos
sible damage to our, country and COM
merce BY 9 war with Spain, that it will
not be amiss to see what would be the
result if war should come. ri
Spain has one first class battle ship
with modern high power guns. The
United States has five, the Iowa, Oregon,
Texas Indiana and Massachusetts, either
one of which is N gre than match for the
Spanish ship, leaving four unoccupied.
Spain has two second class battle ships,
the Vlzcaya, lately in New York harbor
being one, the United States has two.
The United States has six . sea going
coast defense vessels monitors that are
double turreted and capable of destroy
ing any battle ship in the world. It has
fourteen single tureted monitors of near
~ as great power. Spain has twelve pro-
tected or partially protected cruisers,
The United States has sixteen, better in
every respect-that is in armor, speed
and armament than the Spanish. SPAN
has four and the United States FIVE un-
protected cruisers, and the United States
can add one hundred to this number
from its auxiliary navy. Spain has
larger number of smaller gunboats, tor
pedo boats and torpedo destroyers-a
masquerade feet, not one of which could
cope with or escape from any of our
cruisers. Besides these Spain has
large number of old wooden ships, and
it all OF them were manned AMI sent to
sea, the New York or Brooklyn could
destroy them all without ever coming
in range of their guns. No one need be
uneasy about the result of Spanish
war.

SPILLED HER LUNCH.

Sorry Accident to a Stylish Young
Woman in a Street Car.
The passengers on an early-morning
train connecting with this city were
treated to thoroughly enjoyable scene
the other morning, says the Brooklyn
Enterprise. At one of the small sta
tons a young lady boarded the train
She was dressed rather stylish,y, but
a veil covered a rather plain face. Sht
switched down the aisle like queen
She barely deigned to glance at the
other passengers in the ear and when
she did her nose rose perceptibly at the
tip in manner that spread the impress
sion of contempt.
She carried a Boston bag and the air
of millionaire. There was but one
seat vacant. This was beside a good
looking, nicely dressed young man who
was reading a paper.
When she. came to this seat she
Hoped down heavily and tossed her
bag to the seat between herself and the
young man. Two seconds later the
young man leaped from his seat and
q string of earnest words of doubtful
origin fell from his lips like vlpers from
the lips of the young woman in the
fable.
The startled passengers looked to see
what had caused this outburst. They
saw-and then they laughed. The nice
looking Boston bag contained an ordi.
nary, everyday working: girl lunch.
One Of it's features was jar. Of COT
fee, which had broken rin~t the descent
and flowed freely over the young mans
new fall coat and trousers.
He went into the smoking car, swear.
ing sprofusely, She murmured a weak
apology and spent her time in hopping
up the seat.

1t individuals were to do such bluster
ing and bluffing as is INDUCED in by ma
tions they would be 'run in" as disor-
derby. The commonest pug is not half
so eager for fight as some of our modern
statesmen appear to be. If that be the
only way to sustain the national honor,
why fight, of course, but that should be-
the last resort. We believe that Presi-
dent Mckinley has taken the right course
IN this Maine afair-pot to be moved by
the clamerous rawlings of street corner
warriors who want to see fght-just
on general principles. The American
people can afford to be patient. Great
questions like these cannot be settled
oh-hand, nor is it for the president to
Jump at conclusions, as would the leader
OF some mob out for blood. We hardly
see that it would add to the national
n ron ngie Sam to give Spain q
good threshing, much as the latter may
deserve it, without just provocation. If
Spain has wronged us she should be Civ
en- opportunity to make amends. We
must be satisfied beyond the possibility
OF a doubt of SPANS responsibility for
the destruction of the Maine, before i'm
posing the penalty. We have confidence
enough in the patriotism of our nations
chief to believe that, with all doubts re-
moved, there will be no unnecessary de-
lay IN the steps necessary to secure Just
retribution to the government an to the
families of those poor sailors who went
down with the Maine.-West Duluth
