MIDSUMMER MADNESS AT IA
RIS LlTHlA.
The Dentists Gone. The Wolf and
whe Fox

Chronicle.
Dear Chronicle: This is Sun
day morning, and yet the electric
lights in the lofty ball room are
still burning and the gay strains
of the dance music seem to be still
ringing in our ears. If this is not
mid summer madness, then what
would you call ii!
The Dentists of or State have
come and gone. They came in
large numbers, bringing with them
many pretty wives, daughters or
nleces. Many Of them who lin
gered on after the adjournment
will go to day; and it was in COM
pIiment to these that the dance
last night was particularly bril-
liant ard long continued.
The banquet and ball on Thurs.
day night, i'll honor of the Dental
Association, made up a rosy and
ambrosial occasion. The banquet
was spread on two long tables
running parallel with each other
through the whole length Of the
great dining hall. These tables not
only groaned with rich viands Of
many sorts, but were elaborately
and beautifully adorned with
fruits, flowers, ferns and palms.
At each table sat ninety persons.
Each gentleman was accompanied
by a lady, and the march into the
sale a mGnger was an extremely
brilliant scene. The ladies, almost
without exception, were in fullest
and richest evening dress, and
every man had put on his very
bes'. Champagne popped and
sparkled and disappeared rapidly
all along the two glittering lines;
and when the toasts began, the
whole assembly was mellow and
mirthful. At this grand banquet
Edgefeld showed up right we'll.

Millions of Bibles

The circulation of the bible in this
country is enormous, steady, and con-
stantly increases. OF bibles and tesla
ments the American Bible society
annually sells or gives away about a
million and a half, the international
Bible agency sells about half million,
and other large concerns, of which there
are four or five in New York alone, cir
culate great many more.
With such distribution as that in con-
slant operation one would think the de-
mand would presently be supplied, but
that Is not the experience OF dealers.
They say the demand increases all the
time. Tnat must he because two or three
million new citizens are born every year
i'll the United States, and a large proper
ton OF them presently get new bibles.
The idea OF starting IL new cltlzan III life
with second hand bible Is not popu ar.
A moderate allowance of the sacred
writings for one American citizen in
cludes one ftnly hible that belonged to
parents; one family bible for ones

used in childhood; one convenient bible

The question, then, for the Christian
Endeavorer who is not a member OF
Christs visible church is, "Lord, what
wilt thou have me to do in regard to this
question Of church mem bership as well as
in regard to all other questions?'
The bible has much to soy of Christ s
love for the church. 1t is taken as the
closest earthly relationship. And we are
told in Ephesians 5:25, that Christ gave
Himself for the church. "Greater love
hath no man than this.'' Even a hasty
study of the bible in reference to this
subject will show us the tender feeling
which Christ has for this body of be-
levers. What should be the attitude of
all Christians toward the object OF His
strongest affection?
He says: "If We love me, keep my COM
m8ndments" Has our Saviour given
any command to those who believe in His
name, rs the next step after believing?
Has He not, by example and precept,

nance of baptism, which opens the door
to fellowship and communion in all Or
thodox churches?
By the light of Gods word, and by the
aid OF the Holy Spirit, let each Christian
Endeavorer outside of the church organi-
cation conscientiously answer the ques-
ton, "Have | strven to do all that He
ha, n nd t,NS ,h..,, of lie

us all to keep our entire pledge as He

SPANISH FINES.
CAPT. ED. RICHARDSON HAS HAD
EXPERIENCE WITH THEM.
HE LAUGHS AT THE STORY OF SPAN
ISL INTERFERENCE WITH
THE "BUCCANEER".



Some of his assertions, explanations and
claims are amusing to any one who has
associated with the Spanish and often
been the recipient of their peculiar
courtesies. He claims to quote the Amer
ican vice consul: Don't pay the fine.
Let them seize your ship If they will. 1t
will be an act of war; And when
the captain declares that he will sail out
of the harbor at night, without permits
sion from the authorities. the vice consul
advises him not to do so-''he might be
fired upon, and then war would be in
evita BILE"
If imposing fines upon American vessels
by Spanish officers is an act of war, there
has never been any peace; and as rule
our consuls have never made any serious
protest against the custom. 1t has always
been Spanish rule to fine all well mean
ing American vessels whenever pretence
of fault can be found, while those who
have made real business of smuggling
are almost never interfered with-they
pay for protection. 1t is the slow,
honest craft in legitimate trade that has
acquainted and a little nervous, he omits
a word in one copy of his manifest, mis-
calculates in reducing pounds of cargo to
kilogrammes, or stumbleS into some other
slight mistake. He is then sized up and
fined in proportion to his fears and the
value of his command
The fine when collected, never reaches
ha Tod
amongst the officers At this time their
salaries are doubtless unpaid, and it
would be little hard to take away these
long enjoyed perquisites. They have
always been reasonable about it; when a
master kicks, paws the atmosphere and
can swear in Spanish, his fine is either
reduced or waived altogether.
As one case in mind, which occurred
more than twenty years ago, | arrived in
Havana in a new vessel that had never
before been in a Spanish port. At that
time the Spanish government had never
accepted our American tonnage, but they
/ measured our vessels and issued a register

none and was heavily fined, There was
some opposition and few forceful re
marks from day to day on our part, while
j the fine kept decreasing IN amount and
character until 1t got down to only a
simple affidavit that the vessel had never
before been In a Spanish port.
y 5000 fine often shfinks down to so or
80, and when there Is a failure to collect

embarrassed, never make any apology,

By reason of the Investigations OF the
later students of Washington, we are now
ready to concede that many Of the violent
assaults upon his character and purpose
made during his lifetime and shortly
hereafter-were ungenerous and un-
founded. Thanks also to the candor OF
modern historians, we can now see fur
ther that he was by no means a demi-
god strding along on lofty mountain
tops but humble, unassuming, ordinary
citizen, whose devotion to his cause made
up full often for the scampering, runaway
fighting that he was Obliged TO resort to.
We see that few of the startling victories
OF the Revolution were gained by him.
We also see that his Fabian policy, here
one day and away the next, but scarcely
ever venturing on pitched battle, wore
out the enemy by ignomnious FOUNDER
ings rather than by armed resistance.
His greatness was more III his noble
courage in clinging to 4 endangered

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
BY EMO.
copyrighted by Dave 4 Tabor.I

As to Washington speaking with
certain amount of reserve, 1t is generally
true that our understanding of an event
in its relation to other events is increased
by distance. For instance, let me sug-
gest that we understand the voyage of the
"Mayhower" the settlement of Massa-
chusetts, the expulsion of Roger VIII
liams, the migrations westward from
Virginia and New England-ail these
things, in their relations to other events
and in their effects. much better than did
the actual participants. So also of men.
In the case OF really great ones it needs
a century almost to measure their works
and to strip them of any false glamour of
praise or gloom of blame. As with gen
eral in the hands of his valet those in
constant association with the great feel to
often that clothes and chance make the
hero; or If they do see greatness in their
admired one, they fail to see any Getrac'
lions from his loftiness for both love and
friendship are blind (many Of us can
thank fortune for that, or else we had
been reckoned as naught long ago..
