heart was laid to rest recently at PAIN

heart was laid to rest recently at Plain
field, y. ]. He was Rev. Robert Lowry,
a prominent Baptist preacher. Dr
Lowry was for years pastor OF churches
in New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City and
other places and was at one time pro-
fessor of rhetoric in Lewisburg Cniver-
sity. He wrote many hymns. among
them, beside the one already alluded TO-.
being Where Is My Wandering Boy
To-night: zone More Days Work for
Jesus" and Marching On"
shall We Gather at the River" like
so many other gems Of thought, was
written on an inspiration OF the mo-
ment. On one very warm summer day
in 1864 Mr.. Lowry was seated in his
parlor in Brooklyn mourning the loss of
several near and dear friends and many
acquaintance taken away by an epi-
demic that was then sweeping through
the city. All around him We're signs Of
sorrow. Grape was on the doors Of
many houses: the signs Of mourning
were on the dress Of the people: gloom
Of sadness had been cast over all. Ev-
erywhere there was death. And across
the mind Of the pastor came the
thought, "Shall we all meet again: we
who have known and loved one another
here on earth-shall we meet in the
hereafter?"
Seating myself at the organ" said
DR.. Lowry one time In speaking Of the
occasion, simply to give vent to the
pent-up emotions OF the heart. the
words and music Of the hymn began to
flow out"

A Woman's Tear.

The tears of lovely woman had been a
mystery through the ages, but James
Smithson. the founder of the Smith.
sonian Institution determined that the
secret should be secret no longer.
One day he saw a tear slip down a
lady's cheek and instantly sought to
catch it in small vial which he con-
stantly carried with him.
One-half the precious drop escaped.
but having preserved the other half.
Mr.. Smithson submitted it to reagents.
and next day published to the world

In the window of shop on one Of the

However, the more superstitious of
the returning miners believe that the
gold bug has mysterious liking for
the yellow metal and knows how to find
it. This is the story a returned miner
tells:

not large cannon been discharg ed into it. The cannon was dis charged into the funnel-shaped cloud when 1t was within fifty yards or more of the town. The cloud immediately dissolved. This was the second tornado which has passed near Hennessy this summer and been burst by firing cannon. The citizens recently purchased four large guns and placed one in each quarter of the town. A man Is hired to watch the cannon and when tornado comes along he Is to load and fire. In this way no tornado can blow away the town, the inhabitants assert. John k <. Rhodes Is the inventor of this scheme. He has arranged to put cannons around several other western towns.

EHE FILIpINos STAND

It appears that the Filipinos have acquired q very ugly habit of getting i'll the rear of our troops when the latter are look ing for them in the front On Monday last these tactics near iy resulted i'll a battalion of 300 men of the Fourth infantry being cut to pieces by an over towering force of Filipinos, and conservative estimate places the American loss at 40 men killed and wounded. It will al- so be remembered that after the severe engagement at the cross
 ing of the Zapote river few days ago General Otis in his re port to the war department said the enemy had been routed from the bay country and probably  would not make another stand in the Southern provinces. " But they did make q stand on Monday, only three days after his cablegram of June 14 was sent to Washington and there is every reason to believe they will continue to make stands, for many days and months to come
 The truth IS the Filipinos are Hooking in the front, rear and on the Hanks of the commands of Gen Lawton and Gen. Wheaton, bushwhacking our soldiers from the Jungles and cutting tele- graph lines, destroying bridges and making themselves annoy ing generally.
