A specimc n London Fog

We have had some fine fogs-df one
may call them so-this winter, but no
champion fogs, not to be beaten except
by one another, such as we had in town
ten years ago. They were so thick that
one literally could not see ones hand.
remember being asked by an old friend
and neighbor to make one Of a dinner
party one night, because thirteen people
would be there and his wife was super
stitious. When l reached his house,
with some difficulty, though it was but
ten doors away, found nobody there
but our host and hostess. One couple
dropped In an hour late, and begged for
beds rather than venture home again.
This was a common occurrence. Some
folks know were dining in Russell
square that night, and, after taking
leave, drove three times around the
square, and had to return to their host
for shelter for the night. No one who
has not experienced it can have any
Lotion of the ''thick darkness" that Is
produced by London fog; 1t is a palpa-
BILE night. 1t offered on one occasion an
example of human selfishness which
believe to be unparalleled; friend Of
mine was walking with companion
behind an old couple who had Ian
tern; 1t was of great assistance to them,
till they heard female voice indig-
nantly exclaim, Charles, hide the Ian
tern, there are some people behind us
actually making use Of our Hight"
whereupon all was darkness.
1t was curious that in what was call
ed the great fog of 1888, when all Eu-
rope thought the end of the world had
come, London was by no means the
chief sufferer. 1t was not a winter fog
at all, but dry fog. 1t appeared first
at Copenhagen on May 20, reached
Dljon on June IA, Italy on the 10th, and
thence to Stockholm and Moscow

son-ir-law recently erected private
residence that cost $250,000. These
Uitlanders, as the foreigners are called,
live in cities which they have built
with no voice in the municipal govern
ment, no right to improve their exor-
able sanitary condition or to do any
thing except to pay the enormous ex-
pense of running the city government.
They are denied the right of carrying
ANY arms whatever, while every man
and boy among the Beers is heavily
armed and drilled at the expense of the
Uillanders. They have been denied
the right of holding public meetings,
publishing newspapers, criticising the
government or its officials, or of even
peti,ioning for redress of their griev-
anceS.
"When some Of them were suspected
of conspiring to revolt against this
condition of things, they were arrested
and after mock trial sentenced to
death, and released only upon the pay
ment of fines varying from $25, 900 to
800, 900 each.
"Great Britain, whose glory it is that
she protects her citizens in whatever
land they dwell, was seeking by ne.
golialion TO alter their conditions,
when the Beers, after full preparation
for war, laid down their ultimatum,
and when it was not accepted, declared
war, rushed their legions into British
territory and besieged British forts.
"The real situation, then, is not that
the Beers are fighting for their own
homes and property and rights but
that they are fighting TO hold in slav-
cry and live on the Uitlanders whom
they have so grievously oppressed and
wronged, and Great Britain is not
waging a war of invasion and con-
quest against free people; but it is
seeking 10 defend its own citizens from
outrage and TO restore to them the
God given rights of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
sin a word, Great Britain is now re-
versing her position in the war of the
American revolution, and is fighting
for the principle of mo taxation with
out representation and no govern
ment, especially in so-called repub.
lie, without the consent of the gov
erned.'
"Without, therefore, going into any
discussion of the causes which led TO
the great war between the states : but
as an ardent Confederate who for four
years followed with youthful devotion
the battle flag of the Confederacy, and
who, while fully accepting the situa-
tion,' and yielding to none in present
loyalty to the union, yet most devoted
ly believes that the Confederates were
right in their struggle for constitution
al freedom, I do not hesitate to declare
that the Uitlanders, as I see it, repre-
sent the principles for which our faith
ers fought in 1776, and for which the
Confederates fought in 1861. 65, and
that I fully sympatbize with Great
Britain in defending her citizens against
the tyranny, oppression and wrong
of these so called champions of repub.
lican government.
II am glad, then, that General Jou-
bert was not Confederate, and should
regret to hear that any old Confeder-
ates were fighting on that side."

stallment of this story, and understand 1t

all from the beginning, we here give
SYNOPSIS of that portion of it which has
already been published:
Philip Strong, minister, receives two calls,
one to q college town, where he may live q
quiet scholarly life, to his liking, the other to
q manufacturing town where there Is plenty OF
work to do among the laboring classes. He
accepts the more active field Philip dlscoV-
ers that q number of his wealthy parishioners
have property rented for saloons and gambling
houses. He interviews one Of them and Is
advised that ne had better not stir up the
matter. The next Sunday he breaches upon
the subject, and MIR. Winter. one of his most
prominent parShonerS, having property rent
ed for such purposes, rises from his seat and
walks out Of the church. The next morning
Winter calls on the minister and resents what
he calls an insult to himself, then, threaten
ing to withdraw his support from the church,
great excitement, and the next Sunday large
crowd attends Philips church, expecting a
sensational sermon; but Philip diSappointS
them, preaching on different subject entirely.
Philip attacks the saloons and preaches
against them to q large congregation. He calls
upon his people to join with him In an at
tempt to exterminate them. Later he leaves
his house to visit sick child, and man on
the opposite sid of the street fires two shot AT
him. Philip has been severely though not
mortally wounded. His assassin Is arrested
and at Philips request, Is brought before him:
Philip assures him that he bears him no Ill
will and prays for him.

OF the parks where the baseball games
hal been played. Other persons in the
congregation felt more or less hurt by
the plain way Philip had spoken, espe-
cially the members who took and read
the Sunday paper. They went away
feeling that. while much that he said
was true, there was too much strict
ness in the minister's view Of the
whole subject. This feeling grew as
days went on. People said Philip did
not know all the facts in regard to
peoples business and the complications
which necessitated Sunday work and
so forth.
These were the beginnings Of trou.
blesome times for Philip. The trial Of
the saloon keeper was coming on In a
few days. and Philip would be called
to witness in the case. He dreaded it
with a nervous dread peculiar to his
sensitive temper. Nevertheless he went
on with his church work. studying the
problem of tue town. endearing him.

"Vcrily an cneny hath done this"
and feeling the heartache grow in him
as the sin burden Of the place weighed
heavier on him. Those were days
when Philip did much praying, and bis
regular preaching, which grew In pow
er with the common people, told the
story Of his night vigils with the Christ
he adored.
II was mt this particular time that q
special event occurred which put Its
mark on Philips work in Milton and
became a part Of its web and woof, q
hard thing to tell. but necessary to re-
late as best one may.
He came home late one evening from
church meeting. letting himself into
the parsonage with his night key, and,
not seeing his wife In the sitting room,
where she was in the habit Of reading
and sewing. he walked on into the
small sewing room. where she some
times sit at special work. thinking to
find her there She was not there, and
Philip opened the kitchen door and In
uuired Of the servant. who sat there

while ago" was the reply.
Philip went at once up stairs into his
study and to- his alarm found that his
wife had tainted. She lay on the floor
in front Of his desk. AS Philip stopped
to raise her he noticed two pieces of
paper. one Of them addressed to "The
Preacher and the other to "The
Preachers Wife" They were anony-
nous scrawls. threatening the lives Of
the minister and his wife. On bis desk,
driven deep into the wood, was large
knife. Then said Philip with prayer,
