Strange Underground Chapel.

Prayer meetings are often held in the
underground galleries of Great Brit
aims colliery districts, but there is
probably only one mine where an
apartment has been excavated and set
aside exclusively as a place OF worship.
This strange sanctuary is to be found
in the Myndd Newydd Colliery, about
three miles out of the town of Swan
sea. The underground chapel dates
back for more than half a century, and
every morning since its inauguration
the workers in the colliery have as
sembled together in this remarkable
and novel edifiee to worship God. The
chapel is situated close to the bottom
of the shaft so that the miners, on de-
scending the pit, can go to worship
before they proceed to their various
stations. The apartment is strangely
lacking in ornamentation and adorn-
ment. The pillars and the beams
which support the roof are Of rough
wood, and disused coal trolley turned
on end, does duty as a pulpit. The
only llBHJ III lhS SdhSNuoiy 10 Bi'SA
by a Davy safety lamp hung by n
rope from the ceiling. The miners sit
upon rough wooden forms placed
across the chapel from side to side, and
the Oldest workman at the colliery
performs the duties of pastor. He
reads a chapter from the Bible, and
then offers up prayer, asking God to
be with the men in their daily labors.
The service generally concludes with
some grand old Welsh hymn, sung
heartily by all the worshipers, with
out instrumental aid. The Bible, from
which the daily portion is read, is kept
especially for chapel use, and is placed
during the day in covered box fixed
inside the upturned trolley.

CHAPTER XIV.

"My son." said he, eve are much
perplexed. We had hoped that our
ideas upon this strange communica
ton were correct, and that, allowing
all that you have obtained from your
mother and have seen yourself to have
been no deception, still that it was the
work of the Evil One, and, If so, our
stroyed this power. We advised you
to wait another summons, and you
have received 1t. The letter itself is
of course nothing, but the reappear-
ance of the bearer OF the letter is the
question to be considered. Tell me.
Philip, what is your opinion on this
point? 1t is possible he might have
been saved-why not as well as your
self?"
81 acknowledged the possibility,
father" replied Philip; "he may have
been cast on shore and have wandered
in another direction. 1t is possible, al
though anything but probable: but
since you ask me my opinion, must
say candidly that / consider he is no
earthly messenger; nay, / am sure OF
1t. That he is mysteriously connected
with my destiny is certain. But who
he is and what he is, of couse l can
not tell"
Then, my son, we have come to the
determination, in this instance, not to
advise. You must act now upon your
own responsibility and your own judg-
ment. In what way soever you may
decide, we shall not blame you. Our
prayers shall be that Heaven may still
have you in its holy keeping"
my decision, holy father, is to obey
the summons"
BE it so, my son; something may
occur which may assist to work out
the mystery-a mystery which l ac-
knowledge to be beyond my compre-
hension, and of too painful a nature
for me to dwell upon"
Philip said no more, for he per-
ceived that the priest was not at all in
clined to converse. Father Matthias
took this opportunity of thanking
Philip for his hospitality and kindness,
and stated his intention of returning
to Lisbon by the first opportunity that
might offer.
Ito be continued.)

pear when saved? where could he
have been? What think you, Amine"
what 1 have long thought. Philip.
He is ghoul with an evil eye, permit
ted for some cause to walk the earth
in human form, and is certainly, in
some way. connected with your strange
destiny. If It requires anything to
convince me of the truth of all that
has passed, it is his appearance-the
wretched Afrit! Oh, that / had my
mothers powers-but 1 forget, it dis
pleases you, Philip, that ever talk OF
such things. and / am silent"
Philip replied not; and, absorbed in
their own meditations, they walked
back in silence to the cottage. Al
though Philip had made up his own
mind, he Immediately sent the Portu-
guese priest to summon Father Sey-
sen, that he might communicate with
them and take their opinion as to the
summons he had received. Having
entered into fresh detail OF the sup
posed death of Schriften, and his re-
appearance as a messenger, he then left
the two priests to consult together,
and went upstairs to Anime. 1t was
more than two hours before Philip was
called down, and Father Seysen APP
peared to be in o state Of great per-
plexity.

Iron Pine Trust Completed.

Cleveland, March 14.-Col. Clarence
E. Burke. one of the promoters of the
cast-iron pipe trust. says the deal has
been consummated and that practically
all the pipe foundries in the country
are included in the combine, which has
been incorporated with a capital Of
1000, 900. THE object of the new COM
pany," said Col. Burke, will not be to
advance prices, as we will simply fol-
low the prices of pig iron and be gov
erned by them. We shall seek to ship
from the nearest foundry to the point
of consumption and will not enter the
territory of one foundry with the prod
ucts of another. None of the plants
will be closed down, unless the market
compels it,"

Manila, March 14.-Gen. Otis has
forbidden the continuance of the ne
gotiations between the Spanish COM
manders and the Filipinos for the re-
lease of the Spanish prisoners held by
the natives. His object in doing this
is presumably to prevent the Filipinos
from obtaining the immense ransom
which they demand for freeing the
prisoners, as the money would un-
doubtedly be used in aiding the rebel
lion. The payment OF ransom for
these captives by Spain would thus
result in Spain aiding the rebellion, a
state Of affairs which is desired by
some Spaniards. or course this connot
be allowed, however much the Ameri-
can authorities may sympathize with
the Spanish captives.

WANT AMERICA TO INTERFERE
Efforts to Secure Administrations Good
Onices In China.


Washington, March IA determin-
ed, though unofficial, effort is being
made to secure the exercise by the
United States of its good offices in be-
half of China. The matter has not yet
been brought officially to the attention
OF Secretary Hay, but it is understood
he is aware of the wishes of certain
interested persons and the advantages,
from their point of view, which would
accrue to this government in case of
such action.
1t is untrue that any appeal has
been made to this government to make
any representations to foreign govern
ments to prevent them from selling
Chinese territory. What is desired is
that the government shall, through its
minister in Picking, inform the empress
dowager Of the dangerous position
China occupies, and, having done this,
make a public declaration that the
commercial interests of the United
States make it necessary that no fur
Their leases of Chinese coast territory
be granted.
1t is extremely improbable, however,
that the government will consent to
take such action.
