combines, it has the monopoly of the
freight and passenger travel and charges
the highest rates. The railroad between
Valparaiso and Santiago, a little over one
hundred miles. was built by an American,
Henry Meiggs, who constructed also many
other roads in Peru. Meiggs came first to
Chile from California. His partner there
had ruined him financially. end he ran
away to avoid arrest owing some $4,000
He arrived in Peru almost penniless, but
got the contract for this road by offering
to build it for about half the amount asked
by some English engineers. He ma 1e
money out of it. and from that time he be-
came one of the greatest contractors south
of the isthmus. He built other roads and
made fortunes out of them. He then went
to Chile and there contracted for work
which cost tens of millions Of dollars. He
built the famcus Oroya read up the Andes.
back of Lima, which is the steepest, and
doubt not the ccstiest, road ever built and
when he died he was putting tunnel into
the mountain of Cerro de Pasco to strik ;
and drain the great silver deposit there.
Meiggs was undoubtedly an able man, but
whether he was an horest man or not 1
have not been able to determine. His
friends say he was. and they
state IhaJ out OF his frSt earnings
in Chile he sent back to California
the $4,000 for which he was indebted.
Others say he was tricky. and in this con-
nection 1 was told to-day of a lottery
scheme which it is asserted he worked TO
his profit. We were walking along the Ala
media and admiring the great palaces in
which the ns hobs of this city live, when
my friend said
do you see that house there on the cor
ner?''
Yes said I. 1T must have cost a for
tune to build it?''
'It did," was the reply. 'That house be-
longed to Henry Meiggs. He built two mag
nificent palaces in Santiago, and in doing
so spent, venture, more than half a mill
lion dollars. He sold them. however, when
times were hard for more than their cost"
How did he do it?''
"He did it by lottery scheme in which
there were 100000 tickets offered for sale
at a dollar apiece. The only prizes were
that house and the other, which is further
down the street Well. only 100000 tickets
were sold and when the drawing was made
it was found that the numbers Of the prizes
were left among the 100000 unsold blanks
So, you see, Meiggs got his 100000 and held
on to his houses. The people were mad. but
nothing was done.

BIBLE STUDY RALLY SUNDAY.
Y. M. G. A. Scheme for Giving Insfruc-
ton to Men and Boys.
Special to the Indianapolig journal.

special 10 the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE fourth Sun
day in September will hereafter have new
significance to all members and those who
are interested in the work of the Young
Mems Christian Association. The interna-
tional committees for the United States and
Canada, taking up a plan of Bible study
found successful in one State, is endeavor-
ing to secure the adoption of the plan in
all States, and thus put end to the pres
eat lack of uniformity and the employment
of imperfect methods. To inaugurate this
movement the day named has been fixed
upon as Bible study rally Sunday. This
Bible study scheme as set forth by the in
ternational committee is divided into five
departments: First, devotional; second for
training Christian men in personal and pub
lie work; third, for general instruction in
the Bible by the inductive method; fourth,
special one-year courses: fifth, boys de-
partment. The scheme involves a three
years course of study in all the depart
ments. except the fourth, which is devoted
to special work. The course of study for
use in the fifth department, for boys, is
now in course of preparation.
The third department, for general instruc-
ton in the Bible, marks a new step in the
work of Young Mems Christian Associa-
tons. This course involves a most thor
ough study Of the Bible by the method
mentioned, under the direction of the Rev.
DR.. w. CT. Bailentine. instructor in the Bible
in the Training School at Springfield Mass.
but formerly president of Oberlin College.
In the propagation of the scheme it is ex-
pected that pastors of all denominations will
be secured, who will be requested to preach
or give an address upon the Bible on Bible
study rally day. They will be asked not
to talk about the Bible, but rather to pre-
sent some practical plan for taking up BIZ
bic study in order to quicken interest
among members of their congregations In
addition to this effort. appeals are now
making to secretaries of associations In
every part of the United States and Can
ada to magnify the Importance Of the spe-
cial day by securing an address at the as
ISOLATION rooms which will set forth the
points of the model plan, and at the same
time crystalline the results of the effort
by forming the classes for the year. The
same plan is TO be adapted to work in COL
leges and pushed with the same energy. so
that. if the hopes of the international COM
mittee prove true. Bible study rally day
will be everywhere recognized as that on
which thousands take up for the fall and
winter months a systematic course of in
struction in the word.

From where l was stationed could
see the dense masses of the attacking
columns advance up the slope. Then
the torrents of grape which met them
would obscure their ranks for a mo-
ment and hardly man would be seen
to remain. l at one time saw body of
men many hundreds strong so complete
ly swept away by one discharge that
only few of the rear rank remained
when the iron storm went past! The
dead and dying could be clearly distin-
guished lying in piles on the hillside,
and over their PROSTATE bodies fresh
troops crowded on to meet the same
fate. Many a manly heart and nervous
arm went down in the deadly struggle
on that green hillside. No valor avail
ed. The lannon's force was greater than
the strength of man.
How many ardent hopes were extin-
guished! How many home circles de-
stroyed and lives rendered miserable by
the havoc of that hour none can tell,

bodily agony or the grief for home and
friends which was there endured What

Snow That Is Alive.

A most curious phenomenon in the
northwest of Canada is the appearance
of millions of minute black insects
whenever a thaw occurs.
During the winter the snow is dry
and crisp like sand, and nothing what
ever can be discovered of these insects,
but as soon as thaw comes they are
found everywhere in large patches,
looking like busting of SCOT.
They are generally known as snow
feas or snow lice and have slight hop
ping powers, being able to leap some
three or four inches. They entirely dis
appear when it freezes again, and not
a trace of them can be found.
They do not fall with the snow as
there may have been no snow for a
month or more before their arrival and
are probably analogous to the "red
snow" Of arctic regions.
