The rectations by Florence Warner
and Whitemore Bernhardt were given
In very pleasing manner. as were the
recitations which followed. A solo by
Florence Warner was well received.
The address by the pastor on what
the Flowers Say" was very pleasing
He directed his remarks to the chill
dren. Mr.. Spieker spoke of the beau
ties of Children's day, and how much
the flowers taught the beauties OF the
occasion. His address was peculiarly
suited to the occasion.
Following the address. n hymn by
the sabbath school was given, aftel
which a cantata, "a Lovely Garden,
was given, in which a number of the
school took part. After n chorus, and

MR.. PEARSALL SPOKE.

as his topic Philippians, iv:4-7.
Mr.. Pearsall was introduced by the
present secretary, Mr. Adair. In intro
ducing Mr.. Pearsall, Mr.. Adair said he
knew that all would be pleased and
thankful for the opportunity of seeing

learning or other places where the mind
could be trained for the work of the
gospel, as we have them now days;
but he left something far more better,
and that was his peace.
Mans attitude toward God should be
one of peace and thanksgiving. Mr..

him an obedient Christian, he would
show them joyful Christian. A man
cannot rejoice if his heart and his ways
are wrong, but if he follows close to
his God and Lord, he will find that
peace which God alone can give.
a man does not pray to God with
Thanksgiving and supplication but what
God hears him, and gives him peace
and comfort of heart, and that many
Christians are living today who do not
know what real peace is. Mr.. Pear
sails address was full of thought, and
was received with every attention.
Mr.. Pearsall says he enjoys his work
in New York very much, and is getting
along very nicely. He will return tC
his home Tuesday morning.

The Spanish Prisoners.

The watchful American cannot escape a
feeling of humiliation when he reads in
the news from Manila this morning that
the Spanish general there has been in
structed to offer a part of the seven mil
lions demanded by Aguinaldo for the re-
lease of the eight thousand Spanish pris-
oners, including the priests of the Catholic
church, in the Philippines. 1t is true that
This country is not pledged to restore the
prisoners to liberty, but its agreement to
use its influence TO that end was under
stood TO be equivalent TO such a pledge, as
there seemed no doubt that Aguinaldo
would consent to any American proposition.
IL became our duty 10 wrest the prison
ers from the rebels by force. But here we
come face TO face with the situation as il
was created largely by the Senate. The
President refused TO exceed his known
authority by so much as a hair. Until
the Senate should ratify the Treaty, he
maintained that the protocol was in full
force and this limited his authority TO the
keeping Of the then status at Manila. He
did not feel free TO adopt an aggressive
policy, but only one of patient waiting.
The re-enforcements ordered to the Phil
ippines were merely to replace volunteers
who were to be discharged. This waiting

A CreosOting Plant.
(From the Portland Oreroninn

from the Iortiand Oregonian.)
The creosoting plant of the Southern Pa
enc has recently begun operations at La
than, in Lane County, under the supervj-
sion of J. Iken. Twenty-four men are EN-
ployed night and day in the treatment of
piles, bridge timber and ties. Huge retorts
or boilers, long enough to take in piles 10
feet long, are first filled with timber. which
are then covered with creosote and heated
to temperature of 230 degrees This heat
drives the water all out of the wood by
evaporation, and the hot creosote takes its
place during an immersion of eight to
twelve hours.
The process of creosoting timber is an
expensive one, as a cubic foot of the wood
will absorb ten pounds of the "oily. color
less liquid, having the smell of smoke, OBJ
tanned from pyroligneous acid and the tar
ry matter which distils from wood" as
Webster defines creosote. This stuff comes
from England and costs 10 cents a pound.
Timbers which have been treated to these
hot baths are supposed to last fifty years,
while the ordinary timbers unually need
renewing at the end of ten, so the expense
incurred at this time is considered a good
investment,
All kinds OF microbes bacilli and animal
culae religiously avoid creosote Even the
teredo. which has eaten holes through the
hardest kind of timber with the utmost
nonchalance, still stands off and gnashes
his teeth in rage as he contemplates the
creosote-treated piling placed several years
ago in Santa Monica Harbor by the South
ern Pacific. These piles are as sound to-
day as when driven.
Railroad ties are treated to a process
called "burnettizing" at these Latham
works. Instead of creosote, chloride of
zinc is forced into the fibre of the wood
and this doubles the life of the tie. which
would last only from seven to eight years.
The cost of the ereosoting works is esti-
mated at $4,000.

Then there is Dan Sorrell, who draws

driver often amuses the children that
gather about his pet by saying:

Jingo and Wee Wrinkles were warm
friends, for Wrinkles spent two winters in
a home near the West Seventy second
Street entrance to the park, and each sun

would waltz, go down upon his knees
