The Money For Spain.
WASHINGTON, D. @. Especially. The
House on Tuesday by a vote Of 20S to 50
passed the Senate Army Reorganization
bill Under suspension Of the rules.
1t was reported to the House from the
Committee on Military Affairs without
change. By Its provisions an army OF ade'
quate force Is provided to meet all con.
tingeneies for the next two years. and on
July /, 1901, the peace footing Of March
1893, will be resumed without further legis
lation by Congress.
Chairman Hull, of the Committee on NIL.
ltary Affairs explained the reasons which
induced the committee to report the Sen.
ate bill. It was needless to say that the
committee had been constrained to report
It. 1t was not such a measure as the com.
mittee would recommend to the House IL
there were time ahead, but with this Con.
gress In Its dying hours the committee did
not feel warranted in taking action that
must inevitably cause an extra session.
Many other important matters were also
disposed OF. The General Deficiency APP
preparation bill, carrying S21 ,089 900, was
passed under suspension OF the rules with
out a word OF criticism. This Is the last of
the appropriation bills. The Senate amend
ments to the River and Harbor bill were
non-concurred In.
The Senate passed the Naval Appropria-
tion bill after less than five hours of de-
bate. In hat time, however, it was amend
ed radically In one respect. The price to
be paid by the Government for armor plate
was fixed In the bill at $500 u ton, S145
less than the amount fixed by the
House. In addition the Secretary
Of the Navy was authorized in
the event OF the refusal Of the armor-plate
companies to supply armor at $500 a ton
to proceed to the construction Of an armor
factory to cost 81, 500 600, and in that case
will have in his control So, 900 900 with
which to operate the Government plant.
The bill provides for two sea-going
coast line battle ships, two armored cruisers
and four protected cruisers.
il The Senate, without a word Of debate,
passed the House bill approprlating $780,
0O0, 900 for payment to Spain in accordance
With the peace treaty.
The Senate bill to create the grade of
Admiral for the benefit of Rear Admiral
Dewey was passed in the House.

In a recent stirring and eloquent speech
given before an immense audience In Roch-
ester, N. Y, Rev. DIR. Theodore L. Cuyler
said he believed that total abstinence was
the only safeguard, and be had not much
faith in saving wrecks. He said:
1.-The business of the church isn't to sup
ply poultices, but to keep people from need
Ing poultices. Don't spend your tim pull
ing people out ofthe river, but go ten miles
up,Niagara and keep men from jumping in.
Start your boys and girls Alright in abstin-
ence. Buoy all Rochester with signals OF
warning to keep out of the saloons of de-
struction. Plant yourselves firm on the
rock against the liquor traffic. Put on the
armor and enlist in this spiritual crusade
of humanity.
AZ come to ring the alarm bell and hoist
the danger signal. Wherever there's a
drink there's danger. l pray that every
church bell shall ring the alarm, and every
Sabbath-school shall take up the tocsin,
and every citizen shall repeat the song.
and IL Rochester is all aroused and you lead

Steamer Lost on a Bar OF Sable island
No Trace of the Crew.
GLOUCESTER. Mass. (special).-Captain
William Corkum, of the fishing schooner
Mondego, which arrived at this port a few
days ago from a fishing trip, brought news
that the overdue sloman line steamer
Moravia, Captain ~Jorgensen, which
sailed from Hamburg for Boston, with
o valuable cargo, was wrecked on
the northeast bar Of Sable Island about
February IA. On that date Captain Cork
UNI picked up a quantity OF wreckage, In
Guiding a few whips and lead pencils, q
barrel and a life preserver bearing the
name of the Moravia. Two days later he
spoke the schooner Arbitrator, Captain
Spinney, also of this port, who, on learning
what Captain Corkum had picked up, In
formed him that the Morayia was ashore
and broken intwo.
Captain Corkum sighted the schooner
Hattie A. Hickman, whose Captain also
had sighted the Moravia, Captain Spin
ney of the Arbitrator said that he had been
In close to the bar during the gale OF Feb
ruary 70 and 10 and that after the storm
abated he started for the fishing grounds.
1t was then that he ran across the Moravia.
She lay on the bar, about eight miles from
the northeast light. She was broken In
two, and the seas were beating heavily
against her. Captain Spinney at once set
a sharp lookout for any signs OF the crew,
but no trace of them did he discover.
The Moravia's cargo was valuable n
was roughly estimated to be worth $780,
900. The Insurance on the cargo Is scat.
tered, nearly every marine agency In Bos-
ten having an interest. her crew all told
numbered between forty-hve and fifty
men. The valuation of the vessel is said to
be about $3.50, 900.

The army canteen attached to the regi-
ments is an abomination in the sight of
God and all men not either mentally or
physically besotted.-New York Christian
Advocate.
Lord Kitehener's recent victory In Egypt
was won for him by an army OF teetotalers,
who made phenomenal forced marches
through the desert under q burning sun
and in a climate famed for its power to
kill or prematurely age the unacelimated.
The British Registrar Generals reports
show that deaths from intemperance
among men have increased ffty-eight per
cent, and among women by 100 per cent.
The canteen system, in full blast In
many regiments in our various camps, Is a
most demoralizing thipg.-Central Chris
tian Advocate.
Money is freely spent for liquor, but sub
scribing to a paper or buying a book is
looked upon as the extreme of extraya-
gance.
Canon Wilberforce, of Westminster Alb
hey, in a recent temperance address IN
London, said that there had been an enor-
nous increase in i~ntemperance in England
during the last thirty years.

THE BALLAD oF BERRY BROWN.

TIE BALLAD UF BERRY BROWN.
Oh, do you know a country lad by name OF
Berry Brown.
Who rides upon a load Of wood along the
streets of towni
He has a hat turned up In front and crum.
pied down behind,
His curly hair so long aud fair Is tumbled by
the wind,
And through his coat his elhSrvs peep, and
through his boots his toes;
But everywhere and anywhere ne whistles
as he goes.
There's something strangely taking In the
eyes Of Berry Brown
They seem to flash a CHEEKY light along the
streets Of town;
Despite his coarse and tattered vest, his
boots and hat %forlOrn,
His trousers patched, threadbare and sagged,
his shirt so old and worn,
For every glimpse he gives he takes a meas
ure of surprise.
And everybody wonders where the secret of
it lies.
And so his way OF sitting there, so steadfast,
calm and strong;
His air, as If his whistling bore wagon and
wood along;
His independence and self-trust, the arm
set throat and chin,
Inc working Oh MS muscles Wnen ne reinS
his horses in,
Take hold Of one and fascinate, as hints and
glimpses can,
When all the glory of a boy is merging into
man.
Oh, Berry Brown looks car IS, bat he
holds his secret well;
Far hidden in 1.-THE cloud are h. nts wherein
his visions dwell;
Within him somewhere swells q vein OF an
cient hero-vim,
And who shall hold him back one step, or
set the pace for him?
Wait, You shall see ii poverty can chain SO
strong Il soul,
Or il to sell his wood can be the rounding of
his goal
The old folk shake their heads and say:
"Look out for Berry Brown
When he shall measure forces with the best
boys in the town!
The wind has beat in Berry's face, the sun
has burned his skin,
And winters cruel hand has pinched where
Berry Brown has been;
But hearts like his are brave enough to meet
the strokes that form
And fortify the giant souls that take the
world by storm ~
Maurice Thompson, in st. Nicholas.
