REV. COLE ON HEAVEN.
Services at the Congregational Church Last Sunday Evening" SerVice.-The
 Choir.-A Solo.

The Rev. MT. Cole preached his second sermon on Heaven at the Con- gregational church in this city last Sunday evening. The attendance was only fair, but the house should have been crowded.
 The regular service was preceded by a song service in which the cOngrega- tion joined the choir. Some of the selections were well known, while others were new. This song service is a very pleasant feature which has been recently added and was apparently en- joyed by all.
 The choir is improving and rendered some excellent music. The solo by Mrs. Gould, "Too Late," was a beauti- full thing.
 The Rev. MT. Cole took his subject from the first verse of the p chapter of Revelations, the last chapter in the bible, aud is a part of what is generally known as Johns Visions on the Isle of Patmos, little island i'll the Aegean sea.
 The learned divine exhibited his usual good judgment in the very start of this discourse by saying that he was not going to give his own personal ideas or notions of heaven, but what the bible said of it, or in other words, he would preach the bible-nothing more nor less. What grand thing it would be if the ministry would follow this course and teach the scriptures instead of trying to explain it away on some scientific notion or principle or per sonal notions or ideas, and we cannot refrain from saying that until ministers of the gospel follow the course of the Rev. Mr. Cole, the preaching that is done will accomplish but little good.
 As stated in our previous issue, the first sermon on this subject was from negative standpoint, that is, what heaven is not, but the second discourse was from an affirmative view.
 The speaker then described heaven as a place where there was a social eX- istence, a constant state of comfort, joy and pleasure, quoting many pas sages of the sayings of Christ, such as "Because 1 live ye shall live also," and "I go to prepare place for you, that where I am ye may be also" q am thankful" said the speaker, "that heaven is set before mo as a city-a social life-living together as com munity."
 In a most eloquent manner, he then described home, happy home, and drew pleasing contrast between the social existence in such an earthly home and heaven, where in each a social existence prevailed.
 He also described heaven as a place of spiritual activity and in that res pect compared it with the active con- dition of our earthly life, that heaven was in many respects an adaptation to our earthly life, and how we would obey God in heaven and that we should also obey Him on earth as we will in that brighter home.
 But our limited space will not per. init us to attempt even a partial synop- sis of this most excellent discourse. His description of true love on earth and in heaven, the many apt illustra tions and occasional flights of oratory are matters that could only be heard to be appreciated-the pen cannot do them justice.
Douglas Island news., 1899-08-30

In conclusion his recapituIation was that in heaven there was no poverty no suffering, no sin, social life, spiri- tual activity, place of worship and the greatest of all, the place where Jesus is.
 Oh, what a pity it was that there were so many vacant seats in the church when such an excellent sermon was being delivered.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.
The Supreme Court Decides AS to Who
49, Should Receive 1t.

Washington, March 6.-Justice Brown of
the United States supreme court today
handed down the opinion of the court in
case involving the question as to whether
the producer of sugar cane or the manu-
facturer of sugar is entitled to the bounty
paid by the government.
Tine case was that of Mrs. Bette Allen
vs. Ogden Smith, Mrs. Allen being the
widow of the late Richard F. Allen, large
sugar planter of Louisiana
The Louisiana supreme court allowed
Mrs. Allen only half of the bounty allowed,
the total sum being 81 ,567, but today's de-
cision reversed this decision, giving her the
full sum, on the ground that she was the
actual manufacturer of the sugar and that
the manufacturers and not the cane grow
ers were entitled to the government
bounty.
Justice Brown remarked that the cane
grower would necessarily receive his share
of the bounty through the enhancement OF
the price of cane caused by the allowance
of a bounty.
