The end came suddenly, though the 80 80:

A few weeks ago he was compeheu -

and go to his home. AT that TINE nc -.
covered somewhat and his physician ~
a time had hopes of his complete feeos
cry. - ra-
Dwight T.. Moody, the greatest OF re-
viyalist, was born at Northneid, MASS
Feb. 5. 1887. He received but little eu-
ucation. and, if reports are true' was
averse to study. When Mr.. Moody was
II wears old he left the farm at NoIln
field and became a clerk in a shoe stole
in Boston. His father died when ne was
a wears old. Moody was one OF nine
children. and the mother had marc
struggle to keep the family togetne!'
From Boston Mr.. Moody went to chi
cago in 1856, clerlling again In shoe
store. Here he displayed the practlcai
energy for which he had been noteo al
his life long.
Mr.. Moody's first missionary work was
done in Chicago, where he commenced
his famous North Market Hall MISSION
school. now developed into Moody lnsIi-
tute. 1t was in a tough district. Inc
old hall was used on Saturday nlgnts TOT
dances. After the crowds left MT.
Moody and one or two of his associates
would spend the early hours of Sunday
morning in cleaning up the saWdust ana
filth and putting the room in order TOT
Christian work. This thing was kept up
for six years. Then Mr.. Moody rented
a saloon that would accommodate about
200 persons. He boarded up the slde
windows and furnished it with implanted
pine board seats 1t was dismal, I'M
ventilated place, and during service It
was necessary to have policemen guard
the door and building.
Besides Moody institute in Chcago'
two well.endowed educational instltu-
tons have grown up at Northheld, Mass
under Mr.. Moody's fostering care, the
one for girls, the other, Mount Hermon
school, for young men. The Mount Her.
mon School for Summer Workers was
established in 1880. There Mr.. Moody
spent his summers with his family. One
of his sons is the editor Of church pa
per and the other is a boy yet at school
studying for the Congregational minis
try. He has two daughters, both OF
whom are married. His wife was Miss
Emma G. Revell of Chicago Mr.. Moody
was as we'll known and respected in Eng
land as in America.

THE DEAD OF THE MAINE.
To Be Brought Home from Havana and
uttered in Arlington.


The United States battleship Texas
will bring home the bodies of the heroes
of the Inflated Maine from Havana. 1t
is fitting that this vessel should be select
ed for the task, as she is the only sister
ship of the Maine on our navy list. Con-
gress has made an appropriation Of $1O,-
900 for the removal of the bodies of the
dead sailors to the land in whose service
they sacrificed their lives.
The great silent majority of those that
met their death in Havana harbor when
the Maine went to destruction have been
left buried pretty much as they fell, fac
ing the enemy. A few of the bodies of
officers of rank have been brought back
to the land of their birth. A total of 1872
bodies were buried in 176 collins, which
tells the tale of those mutilated beyond
all semblance of individuality. OF the
1872 but "a were actually or supposedly
identified, the others being mere parts,
or so badly injured as to be beyond rec
ignition. Nineteen Of the bodies were
buried with imposing ceremonies on the
10th of February, 1S98-four days after
that fearful night-in the beautiful Colon
cemetery. Afterward 14S others were
buried in Havana. Twenty-Five Of the
dead were carried to Key West and
buried ON the Government reservation,
and it is likely that the bodies will re-
main there. Of the total 269 lost GO are
still missing and buried beneath the
wreck Of the ship in Havana harbor.
The bodies are to be transferred to
Zinc-lined Baskets, Theoretically sealed,
after which they will be boxed up in the
usual way and marked with the identi-
flying or part identifying record already
on file. From the moment the bodies are
received on board ship the ensign will
be carried at half-mast, and will so con-
tint1e till the last coffin has been trans
shipped at Norfolk.
Owing to the deep draught of the Texas
it would be impossible for her to bring
the remains to Washington, and it will
be necessary to transfer them to large
barge, or couple Of the big navy tugs.

RUINED BY MINING STOCK
Globe National Bank of Boston Closed
by Comptroller Dawes.


by Comptroller Dawes.
The strenuous efforts to save the Globe
National Bank of Boston failed. Friday
morning it's doors were closed and Spe-
cial Bank Examiner Daniel G. Wing. at
the request of Comptroller Dawes took
charge Of the companys affairs. The
bank has deposits of over $SOOO,OOO, and
it's total liabilities are more than $40
100000. The bank officials say thew do
not think the depositors will lose n dol
lar, and that the bulk Of the losses re-
Gently sustained by the bank will fall on
the stockholders.
1t was the troubles of the Globe that
caused the Squire and Broadway fail
ures. The difficulties originated some
time since, when Charles FL. Cole. then
president, associated himself with r. A
Clark and w. a. Coolidge for the purposa
of floating what is known as the ..,Thraa
O" group of mining stocks. or th;s
group United States Mining and United
States Oil were the principal properties
On these stocks vast sums were loanad
and early in the fall the crisis was 70.
ported when the bank examiner called !
halt. That official seriously questioned
the value of the mining and other stock
upon which heavy sums had been loaned
and for time it looked as though ha
would take possession Of the property a.
receiver at once.
several days ago the clearing house Of
Boston advanced $3,500,00O to assist the
Giobe bank in its difficulties, all but
about s1Oo,oOO having been paid in cash
before the close of business Thursday.
Inc clearing house declined to lend fur
ther assistance. Comptroller Dawes be-
came satisfied that the bank must in anv
event close ITS doors very soon, and i
was seen that in order to protect all the
depositors the institution should be plac-
ed IN the hands of a temporary receiver
before certain creditors should withdraw
their funds ut the expense Of less forth.
nate creditors or depositors.

MISUNDERSTANDING RUN.
Burlington Fast Mail Makes an Aver
age Speed of Eighty Miles an Hour.


Another record-breaking run Of the
s'fast mail" train of the Burlington road
was made few days since. The train
left Burlington, Iowa, thirty-six minutes
late and arrived in Chicago on time. The
distance is 206 miles, and was covered
in 200 minutes, including all stops. The
run of eighty-three miles from Mendoza
to Chicago was made in seventy-six min
utes-the best time ever made between
those points. The forty-six miles be-
tween Mendoza and Aurora was covered
in thirty-nine minutes. Nearly all the
way there was heavy head wind and
the train was unusually heavy. Deduct
ing the time for mail and water, the
average rate of speed of the train was
about eighty miles an hour. During
some spurts it is believed that speed
Of ninety miles an hour was attained.
