THIS is the title of the next serial tc

THIS is the title of the next serial to
i be published in The ENQUIRER.
The story is by Charles NJ. Sheldon,
a Presbyterian preacher. 1t was first
published in 1897, and was read by the
author to his congregation in install.
ments, in lieu of regular sermons.
Since then the story has been printed
in book form and more than million
copies have been sold but compare
lively few of them in this section. 1t
is serious reading; but not heavy. 1t is
of absorbing interest, and it is bound
to prove profitable to the reader. In
fact, we believe it will be found by all
classes to be one of the most en-
crossing stories they have ever read.
Every chapter deals with matters about
which every reader already has his own
nations, and about things on which
there is much difference of opinion.
There is no trash in this story but
that will not detract in the least from its
entertaining qualities.
The book is copyrighted. This is a
fact that has been used with more or
less force against the author by his crit
les. With how much justice will appear
best after the reader has gotten we'll in
to the story. THE ENQUIRER, how
ever, has purchased the full right to
publish, and many readers who would
not otherwise have had the privilege
will have an opportunity to enjoy this
unique story.
The first chapter will appear within
few weeks.

LARGEST STEAMER AFLoAT.-The
new White Star steamship Oceanic, the
largest vessel afoat, from Queenstown,
arrived at her pier in North River,
New York, at Las o'clock last Wednes-
day afternoon and debarked her pas
sengers.
A big crowd of those who had Sc
cured passes to the dock and bigger
crowd, which was kept back of the
fence, cheered the new steamer as she
crept up the river and swung slowly
into her berth. Coming up from Lib,
erty Island the boat appeared unwieldy
and her tunnels too high for symmetry,
but as she came closer the impression
of great length grew clearer. 1t took
six tugs 40 minutes to shove her bow
around and force the huge vessel into
place. Docked, she filled almost the
whole length of the long pier.
The Oceanic's time was six days and
two hours. The Oceanic is the largest
vessel ever built. She was launched
at Belfast, January IA, at the ship
building yards of Harland & Wolff.
Her dimensions are 7O4 feet long, 72
feet beam and sc feet depth, with
draight, light, of % feet, and loaded
324 feet. She registers 1900 tons.
