was capable. SO man is capable of
being the expression of God.
And this not only proximately,
as one manifests certain traits of
charac ter, certain graces of man
ner, certain charms of disposition,
certain virtues, but absolutely in
Christ Jesus.
How this truth condemns and
overthrows the pestilen tial notion
that human nature by the fall be-
came impotent and incapable of
development! How it stamps as a
device of the great adversary of
the human race such erroneous
theology as this! How it throws
down the fiimsy bulwarks erected
by those who would shelter them
selves in ease and self-compla-
cence as they vaguely say ''human
nature is past redemption, it
doesn't pay to attempt to do.
anything to elevate it, is past
praying for, might as well give il
up, men are getting worse instead
Of better, all the tine!!''
We Americans, of all men on
earth who have ever lived, have
no right to think thus. Surely if
ever men had reason to be opti
mists we have-and especially at
this, time in the presence of our SO
great victories in battle on land
aud sea for humanity's cause.
America stands am ong the nations
Of the earth for all that indicates
growth, progress, enlightenment,
development, bravery, heroism,
patriotism, brotherly love, and the
courage and fortitude that con-
quers. The Christian faith stands
to-day among the religious of the
world for all that is human, bene-
fcent, helpful, altruistic. And
when we think of our blessings as
individuals we cannot innumerate
them. But this we know, that
every good gift and every perfect
gift is from above and cometh
down from the Father of Lights,
with whom is no varlableness,
neither shadow of turning. That
He of His own will begat us that
we should be kind of first fruit
of His creatures, and we know
that we are all unworthy of His
manifold and great mercies. See-
ing ourselves as we are, and con-
trastlng our estate with that of our
fathers, we can surely bless God
and take courage as patriots, as
Christians, as Americans, and as
individuals.
Human nature impotent and in
capable of development! Perish
the thought. Not while America
exists with her wondrous civiliza-
ton, not while Christianity re !.
mains as the hope of all the ends
of the earth and of them that re-
main in the broad sea; not while
individual men like ourselves,
with all our weaknesses, all our
impel-fectlons, live and grow and
have our being; not since God has
called us sons, and hath sent the,
spirit of His Son into our hearts,

Washington, July 14,-The
long expected fall of Santiago
has taken place, and every citizer

with one accord.
General Toral, with his whole
force of Spanish troops, sur
rindered to day at noon. accepting
the terms Of the United States
which was simply to send the
Spanish troops back to Spain al
our expense.
There will be NO more fighting
at Santiago, and no more fight
ing in all Cuba until Fall.
It is the opinion in official cirs
cles that the surrender of Santi-
ago means that Spain vii. sue for
peace, making thu best terms
she can.
The campaign in Porto Rico
will now begin in earnest.
The Spanish troops will be
sent back to Spain Immediately,
and our army will be withdrawn
from Santiago as quick as pos

FROM THE FLEET.
With fleet off Aquandores, July
14.-News of the surrender of
Santiago reached here at three
o'clock and was unexpected. The
refusal Of the Spanish General TO
surrender was so emphatic that
eall had forsaken the idea that a
peaceful end OF the struggle
would result. All preparations
had been made for the final
struggle at noon and it was
known that the city's fortifca-
tions were strong and the occu-
pants brave. Simpsons officers
looked forward to bloody en-
gagement, and when the news
came that the city had been SUR
rendered they could scarcely be-
'1ieve it.
AS the hour of noon approach
ed the steamer Hist steamed close
to the shore, awaiting the signal
from Miles to begin the attack.
As one and two o'clock passed,
great excitement was manifested
by the feet. A few minutes after
9 o'clock the Hist, under full head
Of steam, dashed toward the flag
ships displaying signals as she
pressed onward. The Oregon be-
ing first in line, gave out the sig
nal that the enemy had sure a.
dered. Cheer after cheer burst
from the officers on deck, and
was picked up and re-echoed
time and again by other vessels
of the fleet.
The surrender came in the
pinch of time, as Sampson was in
a position to drop shells into the
heart of the city every two min
utes, and the city would surely
have been demolished before
night.

According to the plans of Gen.

THE GOUNOD SOCIETY.
First Concert of the Year to Come
March at the Hyperion.

First Concert of the Year to Come
March at the Hyperion.
1t has been decided to have the first
concert by the Gounod society on
March at the Hyperion. Cards have
been sent to the members urging
prompt and regular attendance in re-
hearsals. There will be two extra re-
hearsals on February "a and March 8.
Tonight the regular weekly rehearsal
will be held at Republican hall and the
board of governors request that every
member of the society be in his place
on time. The beauties of Grells mass
become more and more apparent with
each rehearsal. The composition is
undoubted by the most magnificent
choral work ever sung in New Haven.
The fact that Grell's famous mass is
to be sung here, it's first performance
in New England, has attracted the at
tention of the musical world in all the
large cities of the east and many prom
inent musicians from New York, Bos-
ton, Worcester, Springfield and other
places will be present at the concert.

A sLE1GH1NG SUGGESTION.

"A well known citizen writes as fol-
lows to the Journal and Courier:
While speeding my horse on Orange
street yesterday, / was the witness of
several narrow escapes from danger
Gus accidents. A woman crossing the
street was obliged to throw herself
into the snow to escape being hit by
the shafts of a sleigh, and others at
tempting to cross the street were
knocked down. Mr.. A. E. Mack was
nearly thrown out of his sleigh by be-
ing run into by horse going the
wrong way, and in fact the place is
dangerous for speeding horses.
Further, it is not desirable for
|sleighing, because the horses going at
such high speed, cut through the snow
and slip on the asphalt, causing them
to break and run.
/ wish to suggest that the owners OF
horses who enjoy good sleighine
should come out to Elm City Park
There is plenty of room out there
horses will all go in the same direction
there will bs the space outside of the
track for those who wish to look on
and consequently no danger to any
one.
The sleighing on one portion of the
track is already very good and if the
horses speed out there for three OF
four afternoons there will be the best
of sleighing for the next three or -four
weeks, provided the cold weather lasts
The public will be welcome and
would like to see them out there every
afternoon. Yours respectfully,
N. w. HUBINGER.

Death was due to an intestinal ailment.
The deceased for many years until
about fifteen years ago kept a popular
cigar store near the New Haven house
and the store was popular meeting
place for students. Mr.. Alling leaves
a wife and one daughter. The funeral

THE VANDERBILT PLANS.
J. Pierpont Morgan and the Lake
cbora nao1-Tba Michioan Central.

j. Pierpont Morgan and the Lake
Shore Deal-The Michigan Central.
New York, Feb. 6.-The Times learns
as follows: A rumor that J. Pierpont
Morgan was not in accord with w. K.
Vanderbilt and the other New York
Central directors in the matter OF
merging the New York Central and
Lake Shore properties was authorita-
lively denied yesterday. Mr.. Morgan S
friends asserted that had he been OPP
posed to the scheme he could have
stopped any action on the part OF the
New York Central directors. 1t was
furthermore declared that Mr.. Morgan
was heartily in favor of the consolida-
ton of interests as mapped out by MI.
Vanderbilt.
The investors represented by MT.
Morgan are New York Central stock
holders, and not Lake Shore stockholo-
ers, and inasmuch as the New YORK
Central road is likely to be more OIL
rectly benefited by this movement tnan
the Lake Shore, it is argued that Mr..
Morgan would help rather than hinder
the scheme.
President Depew says that another
statement will be issued in few days
giving more of the details of the new
Arrangement. There is more or less
interest manifested by railroad men
generally in the outcome of the effort
to secure transfer of all of the Lake
Shore stock on the terms mentioned.
Thus far no opposition to the transfer
has been raised, but it is conceded that
there are many independent minority
holders of Lake Shore stock who nave
yet to announce their opinion or the
proposed deal. Some of these independ-
ent stockholders, it is believed, will
await an explanation of the method by
which the New York Central expects to
reap an advantage from it's purchase
of the Lake Shore stock.
The newest feature of the Vanderbilt
negotiations is the probable disposition
of the Michigan Central interests. The
larger share of the securities of that
road are held by Cornelius Vanderbilt,
and it is reported that in order to pro-
tect his interests in the general organ
ization the Michigan Central will be
taken under the wing of the New York
Central by a transfer of it's stock tc
the West Shore railroad corporation in
exchange for West Shore bonds, which
are guaranteed by the New York Cen
trail.
Members of the Joint Traffic associ'
alton other than Vanderbilt represent
atives are elated over the union of the
New York Central and Lake Shore into
one trunk line system, as it increases
the chances of a strict maintenance OF
through rates between New York an(
Chicago. The consolidation will place
the Vanderbilt lines on the same foot
ing as the Pennsylvania, the Erie and
the Baltimore and Ohio, which have
through lines to Chicago.

DEATH OF PROMINENT BUSINESS
MAN IN DERBY.

Derby, Feb. 6.--Amos H. Alling of the
firm of A. HI. and c. B. Alling, wooden
manufacturers, died at his home on
Minerva street, this city, at an early
hour this morning, aged seventy-five
years. His death was caused by cere-
bral hemorrhage and for the past few
days he had been unconscious. The
funeral arrangements have not yet
been completed.
The deceased was born in Orange,
Conn, January 8, 1928, and was de-
scended from old colonial ancestry.
His father, Charles w. Alling, estab-
lished wool boarding and cloth dress
ing plant at Orange and this business,
which later came into the hands Of two
sons Amos Henry and Charles Alling,
was the foundation of the large wooden
cloth mandatory which the brothers
have conducted in this city for years
The two brothers have been in part
nership for more than half century
1858. In 1864 the mill was destroyed by
fire and they at once purchased the
old copper mill property from Arson
G. Phelps and built the present Pan
sassett mills, where about 500 hands
are employed.
The deceased, in connection with his
brother, has always been active in de-
veloping the real estate in the business
section of the city, and the most prom
inent business blocks of Derby have
been built and are owned by them. The
public spiritedness of the deceased has
been recognized by his townsmen, who
have elected him to nnumerable offices
of local trust, and likewise sending him
as a representative of the town in the
general assembly of 1865.
He was twice married and is sur
vived by his second wife and two
daughters, one the wife of DR.. George
L. Beardsley of this city and Miss Car
RE Alling, who has been studying in
Germany Miss Alling had been APP
prised of her fathers serious illness
and sailed from Southampton last Sat
urday. Two brothers also survive hin,

him in business, and John w. Alling

WATERBURY, FOOD SHOW.

The Waterbury Republican says: "A
meeting of the directors and executive
committee of the Merchants associa-
ton will be held this Monday evening
to take some definite action in regard
to Merchants day, which it was de-
cided to hold at the merchants ban
auet at the Scovill house a few weeks
ago. Lewis D. Chidsey of New Ha-
ven, who managed the food exhibit
which was held at the Second regiment
armory in connection with Merchants
day last May, will be present He will
probably manage food exhibit in Wa
terbury, which will be held on Mer-
chants day.

desiring to enter upon the artificial
propagation of sponges.

In speaking of the catfish industry
of Louisiana. tie report states that
during ordinary stages of water the
fishing is prosecuted chiefly in the reg
ular waterways or channels, but when
the country becomes flooded in the
spring the fishing is done in the woods.
Instead of trot lines, single short
line is used, one end Of which is tied to
a limb and the other allowed to hang
thirteen or eighteen inches under wa
ter. The hooks are baited with shad
or crawfish. The fisherman visits his
lines twice a day if possible, takes the
fish off the hooks and puts them in live
boxes, where he keeps them until the
collecting tug comes along.
During the past year the commits
sion concluded an investigation of the
shad and alewife fisheries Of the Uni
ted States. The canvass was in some
respects the most thorough examina-
ton of the shad industry ever under
taken. 1t included statistics of per-
sons employed, apparatus and boats
used, and product taken in each
stream or water the extent Of the fish
| ing with each kind Of apparatus, the
number, weight and value Of the shad
| of each sex and other special data.
The commission discovered that in 1896
the number of persons engaged in the
shad and alewife fisheries was nearly
$4,000. Fully $500 other persons took
more or less shad and alewives Incl
dentally in gill nets, pound nets and
seines operated primarily for other
fish. OF these fishermen 5000 were
employed in North Carolina, 1880 in
Maryland, 1000 in Virginia, 5000 in
New Jersey and 1900 in New York.
| The investment in vessels, boats and
apparatus amounted to about 81, ITO, 900.
The shad catch of the Atlantic coast
in 1896 in apparatus set primarily for
100000 pounds and valued at $780,
900. The yield Of alewives was 140, $780,
900 fish, weighing 5S,0OO,000 pounds,
having value of $435, 0o0 New Jersey
takes precedence in the number and
weight Of shad taken, being credited
with about 100000 fish weighing 49,
100000 pounds. The Delaware is the
most important shad stream In the
United States. Over 2,S00,0O0 fish were
taken from that body Of water in 1896.
More than 100000 additional shad
were taken from the Delaware bay.
The second shad stream is the Poto-
mac, with the Hudson third in rank.
More than half the alewives taken in
the United States during 1896 were
caught in the Chesapeake basin, in
which the run of this fish was phe-
nomenally large.

Y. M. c. A. MEETING.
Address by Rev. Allyn K. Foster Yes
terday Afternoon.

Address by Rev. Allyn K. Foster Yes
terday Afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon at o'clock Rev.
Allyn X. Foster of Olivet church spoke
to a large company Of young men at
Warner hail. His theme was "Obedi-
ence the Test Of Discipleship in
Christ" His words in part were:
There is a transition period, lying
between our impression Of Christ and
our full discipleship in Him. Perhaps
this afternoon many of you men are
passing through such stage. Christ
has spoken to your heart for the first
time in personal terms. You have felt
the uplift of high motive and impulse
and you are wondering what the next
thing to do is. You are looking for as
surance and direction. You have ask
ed, What shall do, Lord?' You are
waiting for the answer. Just here
wish to put you on your guard. You
are saying, for instance: I am in doubt
as to many things. Many difficulties
of an intellectual nature present them
selves and / must wait for their solu-
ton before I become allied with Gods
people, My answer is that you need
not wait for the solving of theological
enigmas before you become Christian
Do the next thing. Obedience is the
doorway to knowledge. If any man
willeth to obey my will he shall know
of the teaching. Obey Christ in the
next duty He enjoins and trust Him for
interpretations.
Then, too, you are waiting for the
right feeling. You wish to be all aglow
all the time, and think you are hypo-
critic if you are not. And yet it is sim
gular that the Bible nowhere declares
emotion as necessary to salvation. II
seems to take for granted that If duty
to God and men is done, emotions will
take care of themselves. Do the next
thing. If Christ asks, at your hand
confession of Him, make it like a mar
and He will open other avenues of SER
vice. And it is in the doing of the SER
vice to Him that you have the assur-
ance and seal of your discipleship.
Again, you may say, I don't want
to be a hypocrite. I'm afraid if l &C
knowledge Him now I may not hole
out Pardon me, my friend. You are
not asked to hold out. You are KEEP
by the power of God through faith
unto salvation There is that mystic
rious element in the relationship of al
earnest soul with it's God whereby {
power, literally from on high, takes
possession. The tabernacles of Go6
are with men, He seeks to lift Hi
creatures. Commit the way unto Hin
and He will surely bring it to pass"
At the close number of men signi
fled their intention of becoming Chris
tians.
