Robbed the Grave.

\ startling incident of which Mr..
John Oliver, Of Philadelphia, was the
subject, Is narrated by him as follows:
81 was in most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes
sunkeu, tongue coated, pain continual
ly ~ back and sides, no appetite
gradually growing weaker day by bay.
Three physicians had given me up.
Fortunately, a friend advised trying
Electric Bltters, and to my great joy
aud surprise, the first bottle made
decided improvement. continued
their Use for three weeks, and am now
a well man / know they saved my
life, and robbed the grave Of another
victim" No one should fail 10 try
them. Only 30 cents per bottle at

4 special dispatch from Crewe, Va,
says: A genuine case Of smallpox has
been discovered i'm the surburbs of
Crewe. Mr. r. b. Moore, who keeps o
butcher shop here and lives just out
side Of the corporate limits Of the town
is the victim. lie was taken sick and
sent FIR DR.. f. r. Adams on Saturday.
As soon as Dr. Adams saw his patient
he decided the case was smallpox, and
called DIS. Bryant aud Warmer, both
of whom agreed with him. How the
man caught the disease no one has any
idea, a he has not been away from
Crewc for months.
The house will be quaran;ined at
once, and the town council will use
every effort to keep the disease from
Spreading.

We heard a preacher say from the
pulpit recently: "The religion of our
churches never rise above the level of
the religion of our homes. During "a
heated revival season the church Their
mometer may register iever-heat but
when the excitement subsidies the
home-level will be sought and seen
again" And is not this man of God
strictly right? And may we not add
that what's true Of piety is equally true
of patriotism and of the general con-
duct of the citizens? Men Will not n
public life or i'm business life, or In soc
cial life rise above the level Of home
life.
Lecky said of Christianity: at gave
the world AN ideal character, and has
done more TO regenerate and To- soften
mankind than all the disqusitions of
philosophers and all the eXhortauDns
Of mortals," and Christianity was
born in the home and had its origin in
the family circle How deplorable,
then, is it that i'm this aye the home is
being abandoned for the hotel, and
that woman wants political freedom
rather than larger liberty as mother
and wife Wa~hington's mother had
much % do with making Washington
just the valuable citizen he was, and
home was the training ground. The
church is God-given, the Sunday school
is its nursery, leagues and societies do
noble work, but neither the one nor all
combined are substitutes for homes.
Here the vine is trained i'm the right
or wrong direction, and here are born
influences that are blessings or blights.
"Ihere is no place like home"
Rev Dr. Hatcher in a matchless eu-
logy on the late Rev Dr. Hoge, said:
"If men are true at home-truly-tru
then they can not be false anywhere.
If men are false at home, then all so-
cial life with shem is "a crime"
Mothers, wives, sisters you must
make men "true" or they will be
false" You have no time to dab
BILE" into politics.

that Harpster worked for that com

told him about it. Cornish protested
that when he was on the stand he had

THE NAVAL BILL.
1t Passes the House After
Four Days of Debate.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The naval ap-
preparation bill finally passed the House
this afternoon, after four days acri-
monious debate. most of which was
spent upon the question of rehabili-
tating the naval academy at Annapolis
in accordance with the scheme inau-
gurated by the appropriation of half a
million dollars in the last naval BILL
and the proposition to increase the
maximum price to be paid for armor
plate to $545 per ton the existing law
limiting it to $500.
Upon both propositions the naval
committee suffered signal defeats. The
amendment to build a great armor
plant was ruled out upon point of Or
der, but after a long debate, the price
to be paid for armor was cut down
from SOLO, the price which the commit
tee insisted was being paid for the new
krupp armor, to $445, and a proViso
was also added precluding the govern
ment from paying more than was paid
by any other foreign government for
similar armor.
Another victory over the committee
was secured by the adoption of pro-
vision to the naval bill creating the
rank of admiral of the navy. This
was accomplished by Mr.. Moody of
Massachusetts, who offered a copy Of
the Senate bill creating this rank as
an amendment to the naval bill. The
amendment was clearly subject to the
point of order against it raised by Mr..
Boutelle, but the sentiment of the
House was so apparently unanimous in
favor of the amendment, that he with
drew the point of order, and it was
adopted without a dissenting vote The
naval committee had amended the
same bill so az to also create rank
of vice admiral but Mr. Moodys
amendment was the original Senate bill
without the latter provision When
the bill was reported to the House,
Mr.. Boutelie attempted to secure a re-
versal of the verdicts of the commit
tee of the whole on the naval academy
and armor plate amendments but in
both cases he was defeated, a motion
to recommit the bill made by him be-
ing voted down. 70 to 1856.

CAME TO TERMS.
Sultan of Oman Submitted
to British Demands.

Bombay, Feb. 23.-Important details
regarding the action of British author
tiles at Muscat, the capital of the sui
tanate of Oman, have just become pub
lie
1t appears that the news of the Lease
by the sultan of Oman of coaling sta
ton to France on the coast of Oman
leaked out while the British political
agent at Muscat, Maj. Pagan, was alb
sent. He promptly returned to his
post, but the sultan refused to furnish
him with any information.
The commander of the British boat
Sphinx thereupon dispatched a lieuten-
ant and an armed party to Bandar-
Josh But the sultan, hoping to re-
ceive aid from the French, continued
to be recalcitrant. The arrival of the
second class cruiser Eclipse, flagship of
the East Indies station, with Rear Ad-
mtral Edmund G. Drummond on board
threw the sultan's subjects into a pan
ic, though the sultan himself still re-
manned obdurate. During the morn
ing of Feb. 16, Admiral Drummond
sent word ashore that unless the sultan
attended a durbar on board the Eclipse
at o'clock that afternoon he would
lombard the forts at 2.20 D. m. Notice
of the admirafs intention was sent TO
the foreign consuls and the town was
speedily in confusion.
The advisers of the sultan entreated
him to submit, and the Eclipse took UP
a position hroadside to the town, while
the other British ships cleared for &C
ton. The sultan thereupon posted a
notification at the customs house and
on the gates of the town that the
agreement with the French was can
celed at noon. The sultan sent his broth
er on board the Eclipse, but the British
admiral refused to receive him as a
substitute. Just before o'clock the
sultan of Oman, almost unattended, ar
rived on board the flagship and re-
manned there for three hours while
the whole population lined the beach
and anUiously awaited the outcome
The sultan, it appears, acquiesced in
the British demands and handed over
to Admiral Drummond the treaty with
France. On the following day the ad-
miral went to the palace, where great
dunbar was held and the sultan utterly
repudiated his agreement with France

knickerbocker Athletic Club which was
untrue. Cornish detailed this and
harpcd upon MolineuX's alleged inter
est in questions of degeneracy. Com
tinuing, Cornish said: Then Molineux
marrying so suddenly, created some
suspicion in my mind. and especially
when | heard that he was married to
a Miss Cheeseborough, whom members
of the club at the time said was very
intimate with Barnet.
Another club man told me that
one night his mother was seated direct
~ behind Barnet and Miss Cheese
borough and that she overheard Bar
net say to Miss Cheeseborough You
look very pretty tonight; / forgot to
kiss you While passing Barnets
room | met him at the door and he in
vited me in. No other person was in
the room with him besides Miss Cheese
borough. There was a partly filled bot
tie of wine on the table and glasses
We're there also, Which showed that the
two had been drinking"
Cornish then endeaVored to further
show that Barnet and Miss Cheese
borough We're extremely friendly. He
denied Molineuxs statement that Bar
nets room was guaranteed previous
to his death. Molineux could have en-
tered at any time he might have seen
Mt, said Cornish. and he would have
done so IL he had been the intimate
friend of Barnet that he now pretends
he was"
Cornish tried to show by letters how
he had come to the conclusion of sus-
picion that the writing on the package
sent to him was similar to that OF
Molineux's He called attention to the
letter written to II. X. Steafn & Co. OF
Detroit for the Kitnow powder, and
said: whoever sent that letter to
Stearns & Co. must have known Mr..
Harpster and that the pefson is or
was a member of the Knickerbocker
