EemorSe and Repentance.

Rev. Dr. r. r. Beattie. Of the Presby-
terrain Theological Seminary at Louisville,
preached AT the First Presbyterian churcn
for DR.. Kerr Sunday night. his subject
being the Difference Between Remorse
and Repentance" The discourse was con-
sidered by all who heard it as an eN-
ceedingly able one. Curiously enough, Dr.
Kerr preached on the same subject sun
day morning but Dr. Beattie did not
know of it, The latter preached for Rev.
Donald Guthrie at the Second Presbyte-
rian church Sunday morning. He drew a
striking picture Of the faithful Christian,
as eXemplified in the noble life, splendld
work. and heroic death of Stephen, the
first martyr. DR.. Beattie also drew a
parallel between many incidents IN the
life of the martyr and his Lord, ana III
this connection quoted the last dying
words Of our Saviour. Father, forgive
them. they know not what they do.
The sermon made a deep impression on
all in the church.

His Opinion of Shakespeare.

There is q story going about concern
ing n famous man of letters who WIS.,
tied Washington recently. He appear
ed at but one dinner party. There
he sat next the young daughter of n
noted naval officer. Her vocabulary
is of a kind peculiar to very young
girls. but she ratified away at the ia
nous man without a moments respite.
1t was during a pause in the general
conversation that she said to him:
I'm awfully stuck Oh Shakespeare.
Don't you think he's terribly interest
ingg'
Everybody listened to hear the great
mans brilliant reply. for as Shakes
pearean scholar he has few peers.
Yes" he said solemnly. II do think
he is interesting. ] think he is more
than that. / think Shakespeare is just
simply too cute for anything. "-Wash-
ington Post.

The Laugh on the General.

The late General Clinton b. Fisk was
once addressing Sunday school con-
vention. One of the speakers had re-
minded the children that it was Wash

all know that Washington was n gen.
eral. Perhaps you know that l am
also n general. Now, can any one tel,
what was the difference between Gen
eral Washington and myself?'

the back part of the room.

said General Fisk, smiling at the lads

lie. sirr' cried the boy in exultant
tones. Shouts of laughter followed. in
which the general Joined heartily.-De-

structed the outer one was locked
and the key thrown into the channel of
the Potomac river. The channel was
chosen because the Potomac is the
haunt of oy ster dredgers and fisher

and the man who threw the key away
was specifically instructed to drop it
in the channel of the stream.

NEW coALlha STATION.
Advantages of the Maine Site De-
scribed by Admiral Bradford.

/
In an interview the other day at
Bangor, Me-. with a representative OF
| the New York Times Rear Admiral
| Bradford, U. S. N. spoke in terms of
praise of the site chosen at Lamoine
| on Frenchman's bay, for the new naval
| coaling station and pointed out some
| OF the advantages of the place. There
| are good depth of water. good holding
| ground for anchors, solid foundation
for piers and buildings, plenty of fresh
water for drinking purposes and for
boilers and a sufficient height of land
to allow of the easy loading OF coal by
gravity runs.
Admiral Bradford says that proba-
bly, a '"P' shaped pier will be built
| with room enough for one large vessel
TO lie across the head and near the pier
| store sheds for 5000 tons of coal. which
| capacity would probably be increased
| in the near future. There will be rifle
ranges on shore for the practice Of the
marines. an athletic field, laundry
and some other buildings. a couple of
tugs and some lighters will be provid-
ed at the pier. and there will be mod
ern appliances for discharging and
loading coal and other heavy supplies.
Asked if in the event OF war 1t would
be necessary to establish railroad conn.,
munication with the station, Admiral
Bradford replied in the negative. If
shipment of coal by sea should be in
terrupted or become hazardous, coal
would then be shipped by rail to Mount
Desert Ferry and thence across the bay
in barges. AS this shipment across
the bay would be inside the lines of
coast Notifications, there would be no
danger.
While Lamoine point is the best
adapted for the purpose of any place in
the vicinity tile price paid for the land
was lower by far than was asked for
any other of the five pieces of land
bonded. In fact, Admiral Bradford
said that the prices asked for land on
the Mount Desert shore were simply
prohibitory. The admiral said that the
selection of Lamoine as the location of
the coaling station would undoubtedly
make Bar Harbor the eastern terminus
of the north Atlantic squadron's cruise
each year.
1t is said that an electric railway
will be built TO the land from the
terminus of the Maine Central rail-
road at Mount Desert Ferry.

SCENES AT CAPE TOWN.
south African Affairs Described by n
MisaourI Mule Dealer.

Misa0urf Mule Dealer.
Vaughan Smock, a Missourian and
a native of Monroe county. has just
returned to Paris. Mo-. from trip TO
South Africa. where he went in July
with a shipload OF Missouri mules and
Jacks. He left on his return trip on
Oct 10 and has much to say OF the
stirring events now transpiring in that
section OF the world. Cecil Rhodes
bought the entire shipload of mules
that Smock took to South Africa. pay
ing $500 apiece for jacks that We're
bought for $3.50 in the United States.

dead or alive.
Mr.. Smock says the Beers are big.
sturdy men and that, while most of the
Cape Town Dutch are opposed to the
war, many of their sons are fighting
with Joubert. The British troops he
saw were fine looking young men, most
of them not over 30 years old and
many looking to be from &c to IS
sit looks" he says. '.as IL England
were sending schoolboys TO fight the
grim men of the Transvaal."
The people at Cape Town thought at
first that one or two small battles
would end the war and that the Beers
would then lay down their arms. but
they now expect a long and bitter
struggle. All the Americans in Cape
Town are in sympathy with the Eng
lish, and both Americans and Eng
lish there as well as in London where
he stopped for a week on his return
home, believe there Is an actual ALI
ance between the United States and
Great Britain. The English especially.
he says, are building much hope on
this fact.
South Africa, Mr.. Smock thinks.
presents at this day the best field in
the world for money making, and
American mules are in especial de-
mand. He saw Frank White, former
Monroe county boy and well known
grocery drummer of north Missouri,
and says that White has secured val
liable army contracts and is getting
rich.
Wood sells for $40 a cord in Cape
Town. a livery team costs SO day,
and board is S26 week. There is not
a tree in South Africa. Mr.. Smock
says, not planted by human hands.

TOMB OF WASHINGTON.
why Its Gates win Not Be Opened
For the President.


The one hundredth anniversary or
the death of Washington, to be observ-
ed at Mount Vernon on Dec. II, recalls
an act OF vandalism of the civil war
The grounds OF Washington's home
and tomb were neutral during that
conect. They constituted the one spot
upon which Union and Confederate
could meet aud fraternize. And it was
while the pickets of both armies were
thus at free quarters that an attempt
was made to desecrate the sarcopha-
gus.
There was only one gate to the tomb
at that time. The iron bars OF this
gate did not extend TO the ceiling of
the entrance. The man who commit
ted the depreciation climbed over the
top of the gate. reached the sar-
cophagus and broke a talon from the
marble eagle above the receptacle.
That was the extent of the act. This
led to the construction of the double
gate which now shuts in the dead. So
close are the bars of the two gates that
when the place Is strewn with flowers
they are passed through the bars by
means of long poles.
The loQuacious individual who has
the post of guard and guide informs
visitors that on Dec. IA the gates are
to be open and that President McKin-
ley will place flowers on the receptacle
containing the remains of Washington.

A Candle Trick.

Let a candle burn until it has a good
long snuff; then blow it out with a sud-
den pun. A bright wreath of white
smoke will curl up from the hot wick.
Now. if a fame be applied to this
smoke, even ut a distance of two or
three inches from the candle. the fame
will run down the smoke and rekin-
die the wick in a very fantastic man
ner. To perform this ceremony nicely
there must he no draft or banging"

often wondered why the two towers

height, and for centuries the bishop Of
Paris was suffragan to the bishop OF

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use without
Failure.

Failure.
The first Indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a sure
sign of the approach of an attack.
Following this hoarseness is a peculiar
rough cough. If Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears. it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many tbous-
ands of homes in this broad land and
never disappoints the anxious moth
ers. We have yet to learn of a single
instance in which 1t has not proved
effectual. No other preparation can
