something like happy anticipation to
the morning after death, because you
and your dear ones will meet again
you must think of God as always near,
always helpful and always surrounding
you with infinite love and sympathy
Rev George Fl. Hepworth, Congrega-
tionalist, New York.
Heroic Ideal For Our Age.
The only wise, noble, heroic thing
for our age is to go forth to make real
the higher moral ideals; to think JUS
tice until justice becomes the life of
man, the life of the people, the life Of
labor, business, the glory, the honor of
government. Thus the dualism will be
gone, Man will stand here and justice
stand far off out there. Man and justice
will be one in the jury of great broth
erhood of love on earth DIR H. w
Thomas, Peoples Church, Chicago
Preparations For IA Heavenly Life.
The best way to fit men for perfect
life in heaven is to fit them first for life
here. The church is concerned with ev-
erything on earth that pertains to man S
mental, moral and physical self. Just as
much as with the spiritual Ii the
church is willing to deem Christianity
as something narrower than philan.
thropy, it will occupy very little space
in the worlds future. 1t is the duty of
the church to instruct conscience; there
fore the sphere of the church is as broad
as life itself. DIR Josiah Strong,
Broadway Tabernacle, New York.
Our Duty Toward others.
1t is our duty to look after the inter
ests of the working people Those who
are working over hours or are undergrad
need our aid in order that their wrongs
may be righted. The system of working
too many hours per day is bad for the
people who are overworked, and it also
operates as an injustice to other persons
who are idle and need employment. The
work should be more evenly distributed
in order that the welfare of the whole
community may be subserved. 1t is only
in making others happy that we can
have real happiness for ourselves. Rev.

NEGROES DEFIANT
They Assemble, Armed, to Prevent the
Capture Of a Criminal

Birmingham, Ala, June 26.-Two
armed bodies of men are holding de-
termined vigil near Cardiff, in this
county, tonight. One body is composed
of white men, officers of this county,
and the other of negroes. Early this
morning it was reported that John
Shepard, the negro who assaulted Mrs.
Monroe Jones near Corona last We'd
nesday, had beer seen in that vicinity.
Officers Immediately set out to capture
him. The news spread and negroes
began arming themselves, securing
Winchester rifles as though by magic.
They kept congregating at Brookside,
two miles from Cardiff, until there
were fully 200 of them. The negroes
said their purpose vas to prevent VIC
lence being done to Shepard's life. Two
special trains from this city with
deputies and a detachment of cavalry
went out this afternoon. The negroes
were dispersed but the rapist was not
captured.
Tonight the sheriff of Walker coun-
ty has Joined the posse from here and
the search is being continued. The
blacks are angry and many citizens ex-
| pect further trouble. Ever since the
| race riots in that vicinity a year ago,
! they have had arms secreted.

Protection OF Prfyate Props
erty at Sea la Time Of War TO be Pusb~
ed Before the Peace Congress

The Hague, June 26.-Frederick
Hollis, secretary Of the American dele
cation to the peace conference, refer
ring in conversation with a representa-
tive of the Associated Press to the
proposals of the United States for the
protection of private property at sea,
with the exception Of contraband Of
war, in time of war, from capture or
seizure, said:
I'VE have strong grounds for max
ing the propositions. The president
understood the Russian invitation
comprised the question Of private prop
erty at sea and has instructed us to
raise the question We will push the
matter energeticall,', insisting that the
conference is competent and that il its
competence is doubtful a liberal inter-
probation was necessary. We believe
that if the proposals are rejected they
will be referred to another conference.
Anyhow, they will have been most use
full, as the attitude of each power will
be defined. The state department has
sent us a very strong pamphlet con-
tanning resolutions passed by many
cities of the United States which has
been handed to each delegate"
The drafting committee on arbitra-
ton adopted the first reading Of the
proposed code Of procedure on arbitra-
ton. The vote on the second reading
will occur Friday, when the second
reading of the permanent arbitration
proposal, based on the scheme of Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the head of the
British delegation, will occur.

TO TAMPA
che SeabOard's Through Line TO be
Completed 10y December 18th

Completed by December 18th
Norfolk, Va, June 26.-From sources
which can be relied upon, it can be
positively stated hat the contract was
executed today by the Seaboard Air
Line for the building of the road be-
tween Cheraw and Camden, S. c., and
from Camden to a connection with the
Florida Central and Peninsula rail-
road at or near Columbia, S.. c. While
the surmise is strong that the Sea-
board Air Line will run this new road
through Columbia, this cannot yet be
definitely confirmed. There seems to
be enough doubt to prevent any posi-
tive statement in the matter.
The other party to the contract is
M. J. Condor, of Knoxville, Tenn,
who was the lowest bidder. The work
of grading will be begun next week and
enough eighty pound steel rails have
already been ordered to cover 100 miles
of territory, though this is considerably
more than the distance between Che
raw and Columbia. According to the
terms of the contract the line must be
completed before December Is, 1899,
which, in connection with the Ridge
way and Richmond extension will give
the Seaboard Air Line a solid track
from Virginia's capitol, through Co.
lumbia perahps, and through Savannah
certainly, to Tampa, Fla.

military attachee of the United States
embassy at London, and many princes
and princesses were present on the ia
nous plains of Aldershot today TO wit
ness a review OF over $4,000 of the best
troops in the kingdom.
This review is interpreted in London
tonight as a meal of satisfying Queen
Victoria hat her troops are ready for
any emergency they may be called upon
in the Transvaal or elsewhere. 1t is
known now that the queen returned
from Balmoral castle, Scotland, mostly
for the purpose of attending this re-
view, and, in view of the fact of her
majesty's natural reluctance to attend
such functions, the Importance of this
review is manifest.
Not since the queens jubilee a 4
more magnificent army corps passed
before an European sovereign, and
while 5000 additional troops remained
in their barracks, the display afforded
the queen ample evidence Of her mill
tary All the regiments which
took part in the review were those
which would answer the first hurry call
to arms from the Transvaal or else
where, and as the various battalions
swung past the royal carriages their
fitness evoked the heartiest applause.
Nearly Is, 1000 infantry, fifty guns and
$500 horse made up this magnificent
display.
Nearly all the foreign military at
tachees were present, and a profound
impression was made upon them.

TORY.
General Otis detailed report of the

that General Otis will not now prose
cute a campaign on account of the
rainy season, except where the insur-
gents make it necessary to defend the
territory now in possession of the Unit
ed States. That portion Of the dispatch
telling of the belief among Philippines
hat the present policy of the United
States will not be upheld is regarded
as OF great significance. 1t is believed
that when the Philippines see there is
no hope of their recognition by the
United States they will give up the
fight. The absence of any suggestion
as to more troops being needed is ak
en- to mean hat General Otis does not
believe they could be used to advantage
at present.

NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau replied to the
various interpretations, explaining tho
motives animating the formation OF a
cabinet of somewhat divergent views,
one of the main objects being TO re-
unite all republicans. He added that
the ministers had already assumed
some responsibility, but he thought the
backing OF the chamber was necessary
for further steps and asked what min
1stry could for a moment tolerate acts
seeming to create the belief that the
army desired to constitute itself the
judge of it's policy. He further EXPRESS
ed the hope that it would not be neces-
sary TO take more severe measures and
said he thought it easy TO demonstrate
whence came the attacks upon the
courts. Explaining the inclusion OF
General Marquis de Gallifet in the cabi
net as minister OF war. he said IL was
because no other general had so spon-
~taneously supported the constitution,
and ii was thought the necessary pun
ishment of certain military men could
be somewhat relaxed If emanating from
such a trusted authority as General de
Gallifet.
In conclusion the premier said: Our
task is heavy. Whatever course the
chamber may pursue. / have done all

The speech of NJ. Waldeck Rousseau
was much interrupted. The noise. at
