fishers of men," 1.-THE ord on high is
mightier than the voice of many wa
ters;" 1.-The floods rave lifted up, o Lord,
the floods have lifted up their voices"
And He said peace, be still, and imme-
lately there was a great calm:' And he
showed me a pure river of the water Of
life;" when thou passest through the
waters l will be with thee and through
the floods, they shall not overflow thee
and What manner of man is his that

These and other nautical texts will
supply the theme for the discourses.
When it is pleasant, services will be
held on deck, but when the winds do blow
and the storms dash against the boat
then services will be held below.
The hymns will be such as. Fierce

by the head of the bolt. The bone above
the right eyebrow was laid care for more
than an inch and the brow dropped over
the eye. 1t was at first thought the eye
was injured If not actually put out.
Mr.. Thomas was wearing glasses of a
sort that served fortunately to protect
his eyes. They were steel trimmed and
OF half width-the kline to look over when
one raises his eyes from reading. Had
they been of the ordinary sort the glass
broken by the bolt and the agmen
most likely would have struck the eye
ball. AS it was, the steel rim held the
glass intact, but the bow was bent and
twisted, and the bridge of Mr.. Thomas
nose was cut by it.
The bolt was one that belonged to the
upper machinery of the heavy iron stage
curtain. 1t fell from a height of 60 feet.
1t weighed nearly two pounds. Had it
struck MIR. Thomas on the head in falling
from that height, DR.. Ream said, it would
have caused death. When the distance
was measured between where Mr.. Thorn
as sat and thedent in the floor at his feet,
the narroWness of his escape was realiz-
ed.
After stitching up the wounds Mr.,
Thomas was taken to his residence, a.
Bellevue place, by DIR. Ream. He was put
to bed. and in the evening. when the doc
tor called to see him, he was found to be
suffering from the effects of the shock,
but not in a serious way. No bones were
fractured, but the blow was so severe
that painful consequences will be felt foi
several days.

THOMAS.

Chicago Tribune: Theodore Thomas,
conductor of the Chicago Orchestra, mar
rowly escaped fatal injury yesterday. AS
it was, he received a wound that will con-
fine him to his bed for several days.
He conducted a private rehearsal of the
orchestra at the Auditorium. A few min
utes before the end of the rehearsal an
iron bolt dropped from the loft above the
stage. 1t hit the floor within a foot of
Mr.. Thomas, and, bounding back, struck
him in the face.
DR.. Ream arrived at the Auditorium
hotel a few minutes later and examined
the wounds. One was a cash in the right
cheek under the eye. The other and more
serious wound seemed to have been made

COMING TO SAVE THE CITY.
THE OLYMPIA IS ON IT'S WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND WILL AN
CHOIR HERE SOME TIME BETWEEN NOW AND 1900.

New Bedford. Mass, Oct. 2O.-I have
Just returned from a visit to the warship
Olympia, which lies anchored twenty-five
miles west of here, n which, tomorrow,
weather permitting, will start upon her
trip across country.
The Olympia was once a SeagOlng YES
sci, but was wrecked off the coast of
Massachusetts ten years ago. III those
DAYS she was the White Swan.
For ten ummers and winters she lay
stranded with the waves washing over
her and, gradually, all her valuable parts
were removed until she resembled moth
ing as much as an old wreck, deserted
and useless. not good even for the wood
which the fisher wives gather along the
timber-streWn beach.
One day a Yankee genius came along
and after looking at the wooden shell

ing provided by the hostess or promoters
of the entertainment. These strips are
distributed, and at a signal every men,
Der of the company sets to work upon the
production of a b%uttonhole in his piece
of cloth.
At a second signal competition closes:
each strip of cloth is pinned to a piece Of
paper bearing the workers name, and all
are collected to be submitted to a COM
mittee of three or five selected from the
company to make awards.
The list of prizes may be a long one if
desired, and may include one for the best
buttonhole in the one for that
made in the shortest time, one for the
best and second best, respectively, among
the ladies and the gentlemen, with con-
ISOLATION prizes for the poorest and that
which took the longest time to produce.
A further variation of the entertain
ment is that the guests shall come in
some sort of fancy costume.
This may be indiscriminate fancy dress
or the costume of a distinctive period
like the colonial, empire, etc. For a chill
dren's party when the children are not
too young, this form of entertainment
has been used with great success.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

attracted considerable attention but. as
the boat was not very large and as New
E~nglanders are accustomed to seeing
wrecks converted into houses and put to
other uses, nobody paid much attention
to the Yankee, whose name was SylVes-
ter, and his queer load.
One day he halted, righted the BOAT and
began rigging her up. He painted her
white and planted smoke stacks in her.
He rugged her up to look like a cruiser
and, when she was complete. he painted
the word olympia" upon her side. Be-
fore that she was the White Swan.
The mission of the craft is to save souls.
The owner proposes to drive her across
country, stopping at every Four Corners

reached California. Then he will urn

LOAD OF DEMONS,

The miscries of dyspepsia and BIZ
iousness arc like load of demons.
Each misery has different name, but
they all belong to one fcndish family.
And they all travel together. No use
trying to get rid OF any one of them
by itself; you can't shake off single
passenger. The only way IS to cut tho
traces and quit the whole load at once.
Headache. nervousness, constipation,

every form and symptom of biliousness

They cure the seycrcst CORRESPONDING
