for a National Religious
.IuDilee

JuDilee.
A large number of distinguished
Bishops and clergy. including
lDoane, Leonard, GLADDEN., Thwing
and Cuyler, unite in an appeal for
preparation in churches and famil-
les during this year for National
Religious Jubilee at the beginning
of the new century. They appeal
for year of prayer and national
religious revival. They ask minis
terial associations, church clubs and
other like organizations to arouse
their respective communities and
arrange for celebrations in their re-
speotive cities, towns and villages.
They do not offer plans; these are
to be devised in the localities.
They say that a years prepara-
ton of this kind will result in a
higher standard of Christian life,
manifesting itself in unparalleled
enterprises. of the 2oths Century for.
spreading the gospel and thereby
eIevating mankind to the exalted
station for which they were des-
tined.
So desirable, they declare, is a
national religious revival, that the
approaching centennial event is
deemed fitting time'to make great
efforts for it's realization. 1t is
therefore proposed to the American
people, for their careful and prayer
ful consideration, that all required
preparation by prayer and work
may be at once begun, believing
that God will bless these efforts.
Can this year, it is asked, be better
utilized than by national seeking
for Gods blessing upon our nation,
churches and people?
Never has the world celebrated
the outgoing of suoh magnificent
century as the 10Th, or the incom-
ing of one already 80 full of Won
derful promises; especially of fgreat-
or projects TOR eVangellHlhg the
world, and elevating humanity by
application of spiritual and prao-
tical Christianity, to all phases of
human life.
The American people, SO mar
velously prospered in religious, po.
litieal, industrial and intellectual
welfare, and in national honor, are
urged to rise to the full apprecia-
ton of their individual and nation
al blessings. and celebrate this un-
usual occasion with thanksgiving
and praise.
The movement will command
further attention. Thore is organi-
zation and correspondence with

The steamer Henry M. Stanley
sank in the Ohio river near Rising
Sun, Wednesday morning, but no
lives were lost, all the passengers
and the Grew escaping. The action
was due to the high wind which
prevailed there. The steamer be-
came unmanageable and struck the
tow of the Joseph Walton, A hole
was stove in her side and she went
to the bottom. The boat was
valued at $4,000. An evil fate

Good for smith.

Mr.. Lloyd Smith, proprietor of
the popular Blannerhasset Hotel,
Parkersburg, was elected Demo
cratic Councilman from the End
Ward, of that city, last Tuesday.
Mr.. Smith is young man of fine
business capacity, and the citizens
of Parkersburg are to becongratu-
lated on having such an excellent
business man in the city council.
Mr.. Smith is prominently spoken
of by the State press as Demo
cratic candidate for State Auditor,
and his ability to carry and be
elected councilman from his Ward,
which is Republican, will go a
long ways toward helping him in
getting the nomination for State
Auditor at the Democratic State
Convention.

Gen. Kitchener, who in COM
mand of an overwhelming army of
British soldiers armed with all the

to whip any army of African ne
groes armed with spears and bows
and arrows, and was sent to South
Africa to do some great things, has
turned out to bel big mistake when
combating the Boers, and he came
very near being sent homo in dis

The Porto Rican tariff bill passed
the Senate yesterday by vote of 40
ayes to 81 nays, substantially a
party vote, except that 5 Republi-
can senators voted against the bill
1t now goes to the House, and il
the Senate amendments are not
agreed to at once will go to a con-
fereuce committee. That in all
probability will be it's ultimate des-
tination, although the President
would like to be rid of congress-
ional action without further de-
bate. The fact that the Porto Ri
can tax has been reduced counts
for nothing. The objection to the
bill lies in any tax, much or little,
that separates the territory of the
United States from the common
constitutional rule, regulating all
the States and territories. The
Democrats could rest this argument
on what ex-senator Edmunds has
recently declared, and he is by all
odds the leading Republican jurist
in the country. He holds that the
constitution cannot be enlarged,
diminished, extended or contracted,
or withdrawn from any people or
place within the United States by
the action of Congress. The ex-
senator also believes that aside
from the consideration of "funda-
mental equal law" for all who owe
allegiance to the flag, the imposi-
ton of tariff law upon the Porto
Rioans would be impolitio and un-
wise, for the reason that they ac-
copied our rule on assurances, new
or withdrawn, that they were to be
citizens of the United States, with
all the rights and privileges implied
in the term. The issue raised by
this law, and law we presume it
is bound to become, is one the Dem
ooratio party of the Union will well
come, and it will constitute one of
the leading issues of the presiden-
tial canvass. It involves National
honor and good faith.-Pittsburg

It's Coming is Looked Forward to

Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most i'm
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become IA mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the lit Le one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, "mother."
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little n into
the world. An indescribabe fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands Of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the suEferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
