PROMINENT PASTORS
EXCHANGED PULPITS
REV. DR. ROBINSON SPOKE IN
ELM PARK CHURCH.

Rev. DR.. Gifin Occupied the Form
er's Pulpit in the Second Presby-
terian Church-In the Elm Park
Church DR.. Robinson Gave a Very
Scholarly Discourse, Taking for
Text the Words in Acts 2o:13,
Winding Himself to Go Afoot"
The brotherlv spirit pervading the
churches of this city was illustrated
yesterday when Rev. Or. .. M. Giffin
of Elm Park church and Rev. Or. c.
u. Robinson of the Second Presby-
terian church exchanged pulpits. DR.,
Robinson expressed a pleasant thought
when he remarked to friends at the
close of his sermon i'm the Methodist
church that he had been waiting for
DR.. Giffln's popularity to wanc before
venturing before that congregatior,
but had finally decided that there was
no such possibility.
Dr. Robinson gave a very thoughtful
and scholarly discourse before a large
congregation from the text found in
Acts 2o.13. Winding Himself to so
Afoot." The elegant and carefully
chosen diction added grace to q subject
which was treated with deep underly-
ing spirituality of standpoint.
JOURNE YO FPAUL.
The theme was based on the Journey
of Paul to Macedonia, when the apostle
had elected to go from Troas 10 Assos
on foot while his companions went by
sea, After a description of that, walk
and the beautiful features to attract
the travellers gaze, the speaker dwelt
upon Paups evident desire 10 be en-
tirely alone during these few hours
not because he did not love his fellow
workers. not because he was exclusive
by nature but because ne needed tho
solitude in which to commune with
the vanished yet ever present master
regarding the seven years of service
which were just accomplished.
He then drew the parallel between
that busy life and the hurryng lives OF
today and the necessity for a system
atized method of Withdrawing from the
world at certain times in order to de-
velop a true religious life. Just as the
man of affairs finds that he must have
period of seClusion from all inter-
ruptions in order to plan necessfully
the mutitudiOus details of his business
So must the person who would make
success of his spiritual existence,
spend some moments alone with God
WOULD AVAIL LITTLE.
1t would avail little to make a great
painter of the man who merely thought
to go and sit in the little room where
Michael Angelo wrought. 1t would not
make a poet of the man who thought
to initiate Dante by dreaming at the
same window where he looked out up
on Grotto's Tower and a deep spirit
uality could not be produced by medi-
tating in that cell of San Marco where
SavOnarola prayed.
The simple withdrawing from the
throng will not avail to quicken the
religious life. One must love that
aloOfness not from selfish reasons, not
to avoid being troubled as was the
Levite who passed by on the other side
but because of the love for Christ and
the longing for communion with Him
alone.
In conclusion DIR. Robinson repeated
stanzas oc a beautiful poem 'rhe

A SIGHT TO SEE.

A wiIdow display that attracted
 universal attention yesterday was the mountain of Electrozone at Keefer' s drug store Cn Washington street. Electrozone is put up in quart bot ties ercased in a most attractive car toOn of white cardboard printed in red Keafer'S window dresser has filled one of the twelve-foot show windows with these striking cartoons in a very ar tistic manner The show was attracJ- i've enough to cause most passers-by to stop and read about ElectroZone, and several became purchasers This wonderful medicine has been on sale in the east and in Europe for many years. but was never introduced in the west until since January 1. Dr. Keefer was fortunate enough to secure the agency for Arizona. lie will supply the trade when desired, beside selling at retail. Electrozone cures by de- stroying disease and the causes of dis ease. As the name implies, it is sim ply ozone electrified. No alcohol, no poisons, no drugs. It is a great in vigoratCr and keeps th5 blood in just the right condition. Retail druggists in Los Angeles say that Electrozone has proven the greatest seller they have handled in years, while the hundreds of testimonials from grate- full people in that city attest to it's cu- rative properties. It is especially beneficial in eases of rheumatism, kid ney and stomach trouble, dyspepsia, 4 asthma, caUaTrh and nervousness.

COLONY FOR PSYCHIC RESEARCH
Plans and Purposes of a New Settle.
 ment on Richmond Hill.

New York. June IA colony is be- ing formed on Staten Island by the School of Psychic Philosophy organ ized in. the spring of 1898. A tract of 15O acres in Meisner avenue near the village of Richmond, has recently been bought. and preparations are being made for the erection of a house of worship and many small cottages. The site is On Richmond hill, and 1t commands a fine view of the lower bay. A great part Of the property IS wooded, ard the clearing away pro cess has been begun.
 The object of the school. as stated in it's constitution, is 'sthe investigation and study of psyhic phenomena and the relation of such phenomena and their underlying principles to daily lFfe.'' Mrs. Lucy B. Sheffelin, who is building a cottage on the tract, says the society proposes to begin in July to hold meetings every Sunday morn ing and afternoon m it's place of wor- ship, in which will also be given lect- ures and psychic demonstrations. The society will do no adverti-tng arI does not court publicity, but any one de- siring to attend the meetings to listen to and study psychic philosophy will be welcome.

LEVELS WITHSTOOD THE FLOOD.
All Danger in the Mississippi Over. With Practically No Loss

Is
 With Practically No Loss
 
 New Orleans, June 1.-The high water of 1899 has been pronounced officially with a minimum of damage from overflow. The fall in the Missis- sippi has been so rapid that the levee authorities said today that the danger was past, relieving the residents in the lcwlands of the strain to which they have been subjected for more than two months since the freshet be- gan. The Mississ' 'ppi rose very high, far above the maximum established previous to 1896, and would have caused great damage from overflow had not the levees been raised several feel. Although at times, the situation was se1ious, only one important creTasse occurred on Bayou La Fourche, near Raceland. Near the mouth of the river, where the levees have been constructed only recently and are very low, the water from the river ran over freely, but did little damage.
 As a result of the announcement to- day that the danger was over, plan ters along the river have begun actively planting, which they had delayed through fear of crevasses. The ex- perience of 1899 has strongly vindicat- ed the levee system, which has with stood 2 flood before which the levees would have been swept away in pre- Vious years. The only weak point in the Louisiana 1evee system, Bayou La Fourche, is to be protected in fu- ture by cutting off the bayou from communication with the Mississippi, thus doing away with it's need Of leVees.

CARE OF THE EYES.

This brings us to an important point regarding the eyes Of school children. The eye with all it's perfections of con- structiOn, is still somewhat faulty instrument, and noticeably is it so in it's refraction.
 The ideal eye, what many consider the normal eye, is so constructed that objects at or beyond a distance of
Arizona republican., 1899-06-02

| twenty feet, give a clear and distinct l image upon the retina, without effort 1 This means that the curvatures of. or strength of the lenses are in prOpor- tiCn to the length of the eye-ball The focus falls directly upon the retina, l the sensitive plates of the eye camera, and thus forms clear and distinct pie
 lures of distant objects. Any disturb ance of this relation between the focal power of the lenses, and the length of the eye-ball results either in poor wis l ion or increased effort in order to Ob- tain clear vision.
 For nearer objects, from which rays of light will come divergent, the eye is arranged with a muscle which
 changes it's focal power, making it stronger and bringing out the image clear and distinct, which would other wise be blurred and hay. This a1- justment may be compared to the fO- cusing apparatus of the opera glass with which every one is familiar. The eye, however, has a very much wider range. This range of accommodation, as 1t is called, in the young eye, is from distance, to three inches or less, giV- ing the power of accommodating the eye to objects, small CT great, at very close range, or far away When the eye deviates from this condition, it is called an error of refractiOn, and in this lies the most important consider atiOn in connection with the care and treatment of the eyes of children. These errors of refraction are not ac- Quired, but exist from birth, and their early detection may influence the whole succeeding life of the child.
 DEGREES OF IMPERFECTION.
 They vary greatly both in degree and in kind, but by far the most prevalent is that which is termed far-sight or hyperopia. Astigmatism and myopia, other common defects, are usually recognized early, not as such, but as 9 defect, near sightedness, 1t is usually called, and allowance is made for the trouble Or the defect is corrected.
 HyperOpia, on the other hand, is masked by the effort made by the eye. and usually the symptoms are all that are recognized, such as headache, spasms and inflammation of the lids etc, and are usually attributed to ether causes than the defect. The vision is usually good, the child may see as well or much better than many Of it's com paniOns but is unable to apply itself to work without great effort, and strain, so that he soon acquires a repu- tation for idleness and want of atten- tiOn, and is considered stupid and mis- ChieYOus

Collerians Break Out.

TERRE HAUTE, May l5.-All through
last night the uptown streets were filled
with squads of yelling college men from
the Rose polytechnic institute and the
Indiana state normal. For some time
there has been bad blood between the
students of the two institutions, result

night 100 of the polytechnic men broke
into p. j. Kimmel's room and endeav-
ored to kidnap him. Kimmel, who is
physical director in the state normal, at
the point of a revolver, compelled the
collegians to retire. Later $50 normal
men acted as bodyguard for the
