urief Notes from the Churches.

The Baptist Ministers Conference was
held as usual yesterday morning at the
Second Baptist church. II was report
day." and the period OF meeting was
mainly taken up i'm the pastors reading
summaries Of their work for the past
month.
The revival spirit is evidently at work
in Grove-Avenue Baptist church. With

recently confessed their faith one as
been baptized, and three others are to be
baptized next Sunday night. DR.. Hiden's

prayer-meeting is growing in numbers
and interest, and the Sunday school shows
life and enterprise under the administra-
ton OF the new superintendent, Mr.. Hill
Montague
Rev. DR.. w. r. L. Smith delivered the
fourth Of his series OF lectures on Pales-
tine at the Second Baptist church Sunday
night. He spoke Of his trip from Shunem
TO Bethel. Next Sunday night he will
give the next to the last of the series.
Rev. r. J.. Folk, OF Mt. Jackson. Va,
preached at the English Lutheran church
on Sunday, morning and evening. His
sermons were earnest and eminently prac-
teal, and the impression created was so
favorable that at the next meeting Of the
church council resolution will be Offer
ed that call be extended. Arrangements
have been made 10 I'LL the pulpit next
Sunday and 1t is hardly likely that any
action relative 10 the pastorate will be
taken by the council until after that day.

Rev Donald Guthrie preached at tho
! Second Presbyterian church Sunday, both

to a large assembly. There were thirteen
additions 10 the church--four on profess
sion OF faith and nine by letters from

letter from the venerable senior pastor,
Dr. Moses ID. Hoge which deeply moved
the whole congregation. and very ear
nest prayer was offered for DIR. Hoge, Of
whose condition the reports were not ia
yorable. The letter from Or. Hoge, which
called TO the minds Of many the letter of
the great apostle to the Church at Phil
lipi. was as follows:
MY Beloved Friends, Members OF the Sc
cond Presbyterian Church:
~For the first time in nfty-three years
I am separated from you during commu-
Mon season, while l am in the city during
its commemoration. 1 have been sega
rated from YOU on other occasions-some-
times by intervening seas and continents
but to-day, although my chamber almost
touches the place in which you are gath
cred, the very nearness makes me feel the
privation to be all the greater Perhaps
no church has had such a record Of happy
cCmmunions extending over half n CEN
fury; the attendance has always been
large. the interest of the people I'm the
service intense, and almost uniformly add
ditions have been made TO the member
ship from your own families or from
those of your friends. But whoever else
may be absent, the great Shepherd ana
Bishop Of souls will be with you. Nothing
can separate you from His presence ana
His love, and while you are partaking OF
His consecrated emblems, my prayer shall
DO that Christ may be precious TO every
trusting heart and the season be made
memorable by foretastes Of heavenly rest
and peace"
Rev. Mr. Guthrie's sermons were en-
joyed by large congregations. He preach
ed in the morning on the lessons of the
communion service. In the afternoon his
text was from Timothy: 81 have fought
a good fight. l have finished my course. /
have kept the faith. Henceforth, there is
laid up for me a crown Of righteousness.
which the Lord, the Righteous Judge.
shall give me at that day"-words which
sound like a shout of triumph and reiosc-
ing over the battle fought and the victory
won.

The Rev. Frank Sewall continues his
services at the little Mission chapel Of

Bible class meeting, for the study of the
Scriptures I'm their spiritual meaning. All

THE SITUATION is SERIOUS.
. Military Revolution Would En-
danger Relations With England.

London, Oct. 1.-THE situation in
Paris is regarded, in well informed
quarters here, as being more serious
than at n time since the commune.
"A military revolution, however
peaceful, which replaces the Brisson
cabinet with the nominees of the gem
erals, would imperil the relations be-
tween England and France almost to
the breaking point.
THE semi-official and partly inspired
Paris papers are still pretending that
negotiations are proceeding between
the two governments, and France be-
lieves it, although everybody in Eng
land knows the statement to be ridic-
ulous.
Even supposing Major Marchand is
Internationally withdrawn from Fash
oda, the difficulties with France will
in no way end. Behind it lies the whole
question Of the Bahr Ell Ghazal, the
richest prize in the Soudan."

CUBAN DEBT A PROBLEM.
American Commissioners Present Their
Views OF the Subject.

american commissioners Present Their
Views on the Subject.
Paris, Oct. 14.-Commander Brad
ford, United States navy, who has ar
rived here from Washington, was ex-
amined this morning by the members
of the United States peace commits
sion relative to the conditions prevail
ing and the main features of interest in
the Philippine islands, with which the
commander is well acquainted.
The fifth joint session of the two COM
missions was convened at o'clock today.
1t may be said that the first, second and
third meetings scarcely penetrated the
surface Of any protocol point, and less
still the marrow.
Last Tuesday, however, marked the
Spanish presentment regarding the Gu
ban debt which has, during recess,
brought the Americans to serious pre-
|parations, an adjustment Of their diplo-
matte forces. and the formation of a
plan upon which they may Ultimately
stand in relation to the Cuban phase of
their mission here.
1t is not unlikely that since Tuesdays
Injecting the Americans, who have been
Exceedingly busy, have determined up
on an attitude toward the Spanish pro-
position that the United States assume
Cuban debt in whole or in part. and
that it has been reduced to writing for
presentation to the Spaniard5 at to-
days session, stating the American
view broadly as to what is the Cuban
debt, what proportion is fairly charge
able to the island as legal and beneficial
thereto, and the proportion to be
charged to Spain as beneficiary of the
so-called Cuban debt.
A hasty conclusion, however, should
not be drawn from the fact of this care
full weighing of the Spanish PROPOSE
ton by the Americans that they accept
either alternative, but rather that they
are acting on a line and purpose to meet
every point raised as extensively as
presented. They have thoroughly ira
versed the Cuban debt question and
give their views On the proposals sub
mitted in writing today, and there will
be either an oral discussion today, or a
written interchange Of views at the
next meeting.

Hon. NJ. c. Brown arrived from the

interested. He says Big Horn county
will give at least 100 republican ma

Colonel Richards vas most cordially

Brown, whom one likes better every

rs old age a necessity? This Ques-
ton is difficult to answer. II it relates
merely to the d%ecrepitude Of age, we
could say at once that such miserable
weakness is entirely unnecessary. The
sad spectacle of an old man or an old
woman being helplessly dependent upon
others Is but the natural finale of wrong
methods Of living, and we are glad to
know that there are persons today in
the eighties and nineties who have the
vigor, beauty and independence of 9TH
ers half as old. The times are develop
ing more cases of this better kind. AS
we write, there comes the report of a
lady 1875 years of age, who is in the
possession Of all her faculties. Others
as well known who are past the century
mark. We are convinced that any per-
son who is not suffering with an in
durable malady may turn about and re-
claim lost ground, recover a departed
vitality and go on to an extreme old
age, young in spirit and vigorous in
faculties"

The coyotes are very musica this fall
and give nightly %serenades in the hills
about town.. An unusually bad creature
came near making a meal of one of the
pet antelope owned by Dana and Mark
Crawford last Friday night. The two
little pets had strolled out for a mid
night lunch off the grass just outside
the yard when a coyote slipped up and
caught the smaller one by the throat.
It's cries of distress awoke a member of
the family who went to the rescue. The
antelope was not seriously hurt, but
had had a very narrow escape. The
other antelope, although powerless to
give aid, staid valiantly with it's mate

Bodies are washing ashore, one be-
ing that of a lady, dashed to a plank,

dangerous and has been the scene of
numerous wrecks. Some years ago
there was a movement set on foot ito
get a light ship placed there, but it
failed.
A %dispaach from Falmouth says the
Mohegan foundered and was probably
blown ashore by the heavy east wind
after her machinery was disabled. All
the Falmouth tugs went out. but none
were able to approach the vessel.
Later-A life boat has landed thirty
OF the Mohegan;s passengers and re-
turned for more. One lady died after
she was brought ashore.
1t is reported that the position of the
Mohegan is serious and assistance is
urgently needed.
