LIEUT.. RUINS EXPERIENCE.
japanese Thought He Was Deserter
and Arrested Him.

Nashville American: - Lieut..
Thomas r Ruhm writes Of his ar
rival at Manila, having ltft the
Oregon in Chinese waters. He tells
81 the orders that interrupted lis
ceede d 10 the Oregon then in the
dry dock At Kure.
Being the only officer Of the CON
struction corps la A=iatic waters.
Lieut.. Ruhm was ordered 10 tax e
charge Of the repairs then in progress
aud 10 make report on the injurie-
received ny the ship and the wOr K
done TO repair the injuries.
He met with an amusing incident
on his way IN the Or gon after re-
ceiving his orders. He went across
a narrow peninsula after leaving the
steamship at the harbOr to reach the
| dry dock. En- route in a Japanese
conveyance driven by man who
could not speak English. he was
| halted by a squad of Japanese police,
none Of whom could speak English
and who were bunting ten deserters
from the Oregon, for whose capture
Capt. Wilder had asked the Japanese
authorities for assistance.
| They took Lieut. Ruhm for one OF
the de. erters, arrested him and
brought him before the Judge, who
likewise could not speak English.
IL took several hours before an in
terpreter came, who quickly relieved
the situation, WHEREIN upon followed a
seeue OF most profuse apologies and
demonstrations, ending with the in
sistaDce on the part uf the Judge fol
the Lieutenant TO be his guest over
night at most magnificent house
oil the Judges plantation.
The Judge was apparently afraid
OF international complications, ow-
ing to the great mistake which had
been made. He was not satisfied
until he in person, accompanied by
the squad, went with Lieut.. Ruin
to the Captain of the Oregon, there
to renew his apologies and to re
celve absolute assurance that there
would be no further notice taken o
the incident.

The Power Of Love.

There Ia no power like love.
loved my little boy long before he
loved me. One night heard him
say to his mamma, when he thought
me asleep: II love papa" What
a thrill Of Joy that gave me! had
loved him from infancy, but now he
was beginning to love me. A few
weeks before he might have seen me
carried out Of the house in coffin.
and perhaps, not knowing better,
have thoughtlessly laughed about It,.
But now my love for him had found
a response. Something like this lie
the feeling God has when sinner
melts under his love. Love pro-
duces love. What "a power II might
become in our pulpit and Sunday
school classes and meetings! The
reason we have 40 little love for
Jesus Christ ia that we are so little
acquaiDted with him. The more in
timatelv we get acquainted with the
Son OF God the more shall we love
him, and we NAV get acquainted
with HIM by reading about him in
his Word ID l.. Moody.

a mans soul gets into the depths
that be Is most likely to cry unto

his own weakness and belplessness,
he then lifts up his eyes and his
voice to the eternal One, and max
his appeal for succor and relief. In
such case his prayers cease 10

visions of the bill, which passed both
houses OF the general assembly SATURDAY..

discussed here to-day, and almost every
one seemed TO regard it as a most IN
fortunate measure. The board of trade
and industrial association neld a meeting.
which was largely attended by leading
men. The bill was read and in the Gis-
cussiOn which followed it seemed to be
the unanimous opinion of all that it was
an inqUisitOrial measure un-Democratic.
and injurious TO business interests gen.

The meeting teIegraphed a protest to
the governor, asking him not to sign the
bill until a representative from Lynch
burg could be heard. Judge HOrsley was
appointed to appear before Gov. Tyler,
and left at once for Richmond. The bust
ness men in Richmond. Danville, Alexan-
dria, Petersburg. Roanoke, Norfolk, and
other cities in the State were sent tele-
grams, asking them to take immediate
action against the signing OF the bill.
