PASSED.

New York, March 1.-The condition
of Rudyard lliplng is very much i'm
proved tonight. The crisis in the dis
ease was passed this morning. At 2:l5
this afternoon the following bulletin
was posted:

This was the ninth day of Mir. Kip
iins'S illness. In pneumonia the CRISIS
is usually reached by the seventh or
ninth day, but it may be delayed until
four teen. Therefore there were As
hours during which the physicians
hardly left their patients side. Dur
ing that time Ripping suffered greatly
during his conscious moments, but he
was frequently unconscious or suffered
from attending delirium. 1t required
an iron constitution to bear up against
the intensity of the disease. for Mr.
Eip!ing's disease is Il double lobar
pneumonia, n pneumonia of both lungs.
The most advanced scientific meth
DDS have been adopted for the treat
ment, and for several days oxygen was
forced into the lungs to tide over the
times that Kipling was unable to
breath sufficient air to sustain life.
The oxygen method was abandoned
yesterday. n hopeful sign. The patient
began 10 breathe more freely early this
morning. and after few hours dropped
into a refreshing sleep, the first in
days. and the one essential to restore
his fast waning strength. Later the
tempera ture dropped rapidly from 10i
to 90. which is about normal.
This IL the ordinary course OF the
disease.

fairs are still unsatisfactory. The pro-
visional government, it appears, is in
terfering with native and British sub
jects and also with the servants OF
British subjects, and is taxing the Ma
lictoa people 81 and the Mataafa people
81 each.
DIR. RAFAEL APOLOGIES.
DIR. Rafael. the German president OF
the Municipal Council at Apia, at the
instigation of the British consul, has
apologized for boycotting the British
third-class cruiser Porpoise, and for in
sulting the Chief Justice and Malie-
t0a $ lawyer While they were guests on
board the Porpoise. a landing party
from the Porpoisc, ready with machine
guns was therefore not sent ashore.
though IL plan to make an attack on
Mulinuu had been all arranged.
Several OF the Mataafas have died of
wounds, including one woman, who was
shot in the breast.
PRISONERS IN EMILE.
There is much Indignation at the act
OF the provisional government in keep
ing exile prisoners whose only offcnse is
loyalty. The house of Chief Suamanuu,
whose bravery in saving life during the
historical hurricane, was rewarded by
the Americans with the present of u
Whalcboat, has been burned ana looted
and the whale boat has been stolen. SUI
amanuu is still in exile.
GERMAN CONSUL lMMURES HIM
SELF.
The German consul continues to pro-
tect the Germans from the jurisdiction
of the Supreme Court but Herr
court when the court advertised the
sale of his property. Herr Grovesmuhl
remains at his consulate, fearing arrest
ana having to serve q sentence of one
hundred days Imprisonment. 1t is add
ed that he is also afraid of being
rested on the charge of drunkenness.
GUILTY OF CONTEMPT.
DR.. Rafael has been adjudged guilty
of contempt OF court, but has refused
to come forward for sentence He was
formerly arrested without force. but
sought the protection of Herr Rose, the
German consul.
Lieutenant Won Bulon. n former Off
Ger in the German army and organizer
OF the Mataafan forces, is still at Sa-
wal. He refuses to come to court on
the charge of contempt in breaking Jail,
and claims that he should be tried by
a German military court at Berlin
MIR. Moore. an American citizen who
is said to favor the Germans, wrote
threatening letters to Chief Justice
Chambers. He was found guilty OF
contempt of court. but was discharged
after making an ample apology.

lowing is disifttetssftatt i4afs.-Thc wtrUfr o

Owing to the size OF the growth the

MaZzini quickly traced the extent OF
the growth and the actual operation
lasted twelve minutes. The Pope dis
played great fortitude After the band

and once the feeling of faintness due to
shock and loss OF blood had passed
away. he appeared quite calm. The
fever quickly subsidized. confirming the
diagnosis of the doctors.
During DR.. MazZini's visit the Pope
asked him how many female patients
were accommodated at the hospital OF
St John, OF which Dr. MazZini is the
chief surgeon. and he inquired regard
ing the work done at the hospital by
the Sisters of Mercy. He begged DR..
MaZzin TO inform the Sisters that he
blessed them, knowing that they were
praying for him and for his recov-
cry.

Queen Victoria at Methodist Class
Meeting.

The Methodist Times, of London,
prints this very Interesting story con-
cerning the presence of the queen at
Methodist class meeting:
Speaking at the anniversary of Lam
beth mission, Mr.. J. A. Bowron, OF
Blackheath, related remarkable incl
dent which he said had never been
told in public before, "Many years
ago." said be, "my father conducted q
large society class at Sloane Terrace
Chapel, Chelsea, and at one time one
of the members of that class was 8
female servant at buckingham Palace
This. servant, however, come in fol
much persecution and ridicule on ac'
count of her Methodism and hel
regular attendance at class. 1t became
so acute at length that some of the
other servants threatened to leave II
the Methodist servants remained, anc
the matter in some manner reached
the ears of Her Majesty, who inquired
into it, and on being informed OF the
cause of the dissatisfaction, said. i
will 20 to the meeting myself and see
if it is fit place for servant to 20 70.
And,n continued Bowron, "Hel
Majesty came to my fathers class. and
on her return to the place she said TO
the per.ecuted Methodist servant
Never forget your class meeting. !
only wish that other servants would
20 also.'"
It is to be regretted that some more
particulars are not given, such as the
date and other circumstances. Ii hu'
man nature was then what it Is now
the presence of SO great a parsonage
unless she went incognito-must have
made a great change in the class. IT.
indeed it was true Wesleyan class, II
must have given Her Majesty vie"
of the nature of the Methodist move
ment which she never could have ob'
tanned through the testimony of 9TH
ers. Victoria was but eighteen years
of age when she became queen, ano
her decided character and promptltude
of action would fit in we'll with this
story. The maxim that Is here put IN
her mouth, Never neglect. your class
meeting" is one that should be utter
ed with earnestness to every memoel
of the Church. Our experience pre-
vents us from having a sclntllla ol
sympathy with any Methodist who
speaks disparagingly of the class meet
ing as an institution, whatever ne
may bave to say of some class leaders
and classes. AS a means of training
young converts keeping the conscience
thoroughly acute, giving to all the
benefits of the knowledge of the rellgl'
GUS experience of each, and admins
tering consolation as we'll as strength
ening the tempted and encouraging
the doubling, it is the best of all the
means of grace.

Three Prayers.

An infant in its cradle slept,
And in It's sleep 1t smiled
And one by one three women knelt
To kiss the fair-haired child:
And each thought OF the days TO be
And reathed a prayer, half.silently.
One poured her love on many lives,
But knew loves toll and care
It's burdens oft had been TO her
A heavy weight to bear;
She stopped aud murmured loving,
mot burdened hands, dear child, for
thee"
One had not known the burdened hands,
But knew the empty heart;
At life's banquet she had set
An unfed guest apart:
"Oh, not" she whispered tenderly.
IAN empty heart, dear child, for thee
And one was old: she had known care,
She had known loneliness;
She knew God leads us by no path
His presence cannot bless;
She smiled, and murmured trustfully,
Goods will, dear child, Gods Will for
thee"
