NOW A PULPITEER.

H. Frank Swartz, who will be re-
membered by many as the secretary
of our Young Mems Christian associa-
tion in 1891, was on July %, ordained
and installed pastor of the Congrega-
tional church in Mansfield Mass, a
town midway between Boston and
Providence. After leaving Carbondale,
Mr.. Swartz entered Hartford Theolog-
ical seminary, studying so well that
he won a fellowship which gave him
two years of study in Europe. The
first year was spent at Berlin and
Heidelberg, the second in Paris. He
added a third year of historical and
archaeological research in Italy and
South France. During his foreign res
idence he took two months tour in
Greece and Palestine. Two days after
his return to America in May last he
was invited to preach in Mansfield and
was so acceptable that he was unani-
mously called to the pastorate. The
installation sermon was preached by

NO TORPEDO BOATS.
Commodore Watson's New Fleet Has
Not One Assigned to 1t.

From the Cleveland Leader.
The plans OF the Navy department
for the raid upon the Spanish coast do
not contemplate the use of a single
torpedo boat or torpedo vessel of any
kind in Commodore Watsons squad
ron. In the light of events in the West
Indies it is apparent that none will be
needed to fight Spanish war vessels
big or lttle and. of course. torpedo
boats cannot harm forts on land. The
little craft are simply a drag on the
operations of a squadron going far
from home.
Still the fact that strong force of
American cruisers, battleships and coal
vessels is TO be sent to the coast Of
Spain, where there are many torpedo
boat destroyers, entirely without tor
pedo vessels of its own, is a striking
illustration of the effect Of the fight
off Santiago upon the views OF naval
experts. Three months ago no such
venture would have been seriously con-
sidered at Washington. Then it would
have been argued that the Spanish
torpedo boats might annihilate more
battleshps and cruisers than Watson
will have under his command. No one
dreams Of such a thing now.
