studded all over with precious stones.-
Then near these was the solid gold plate.
Given the queen at the birth of the Prince
of Wales was baptismal font of solid
gold, in which this prince was christened.
and there are many yother valuable pieces.
The value of the actual gold contained in
them is over four million pounds, or
$40, 900, 900 in our money.
We spent couple of hours most agree
ably in the old church of st Paul, built
by Sir Christopher Wren in I6zs, the
ceiling of which is Ias feet from the
floor. The carvings and architecture of
the structure compare favorably with
similar work of our present age. In the
crypt of this church are huge tombs of
Nelson and Wellington. Near Yelling
tons tomb stands the great iron funeral
car, weighing seventeen tons, made our
of the guns and various weapons cap
tured at Waterloo. Some muskets cap
tured at Waterloo are stacked on the
front of this car. Twelve horses were
necessary to draw it.
Byagood guide we were shown through
both houses of Parliament. On the wall
of the large hallway between the two
houses are two huge oil paintings-one of
Nelson at Trafalgar. The other is the
meeting of Blucher and Wellington on
the bloody field of Waterloo, after the
battle. They are shown IN the act of
shaking hands on their prancing steeds,
with the dead and dying lying all about
and around them.
The rarest treat of all was the half day
passed in the National Art Gallery. The
finest works of the old masters are, of
course, there. and an entire week could
be spent in studying that vast array of
art treasures. Each painting Is covered
with glass to protect it from dirt and
dust. We also had a view of the finest
private collection of paintings in Eng
land, presented by Lady Wallace to the
Nation. 1t is in the old Hartford House,
still filed with the elegant furniture, stat
uarY, bronzes and curios collected by
several generations of the Hartford fam
lily. and are second to none in the world.
1t was first opened to the public six
months ago.
We spent one day visiting Windsor
Castle and going through that vast pile,
and although the :. grand old lady was
not there to give US the glad hand. the
trip was most enjoyable in every way
From there. after good lunch at the
the White Harte Inn. we, with q good
guide and team, drove through the bean
tiful country. over Tnatehless roads, to the
house and church where lie the remains
of the Poet Grey. We stood under the
very yew tree where he sat 10 write his
famous ElegY and saw his pew in the lit
tie church st. Giles, of Stoke Poges,
which has many quaint stained glass
windows. His monument there was
erected to his memory by the deseeDants
of William Penn's family. some of whom
still live near by and attend the church.
Their home we also saw.
My wife and 1 left London on the 10Th
for two weeks tour through England
and Scotland. and as you observe / am
writing from Edinburg, the capital of
Scotland. Will return to London soon
after or about October /. wnere we will
remain until October 10, when we start
for Paris. Will try to write you a little
sketch of this trip from London.
Very truly yours.

Bishop Fowler on Expansion.

Bishop Fowler, the eminent Meth
odist divine. believes that the United
States has a duty to perform in the
Philippines, and expresses himself as
follows:
"You might as well try TO catch yon-
der eagle perched on a crag of the
mountains, pluming his Dinions to
wrestle with the whirlwind, and then
try TO crowd him back into the little
eggshell out of which he has broken,
as to try and throttle this American
race and crowd it back into the 13 ori-
ginal colonies. Some of the old gentle
men on that old soil of some of these
old 13 colonies, who have never left it,
may think it would be a good thing for
cur great continent-embracing people
to come back home. But it is impos-
sible. God has expanded us"

The Joys Of LuzOn.

The Leader is in receipt of the fol-
lowing poem from Mr.. Charles M.
Goodballet, a Washington county boy,
who is serving In Co. X, 18th Re"
iment, United States Infantry, now IN
the Philippines:
Luzon, that land of milk and honey,
Gold and silver. rice and curry.
Land of changes and of wonders,
Land of Lightning, rain and thunder.
Land where the lordly bamboo tree
waves
Its stately wilderness of leaves,
Land of spite and hateful scorn.
Land where the clothes are seldom
worn.
Land where strong men fast are vast
ing
BY eating fruit of pleasant tasting.
Women scolding, children squalling,
Whilst bugs around my feet were
crawling,
And sand flies at my feet were sting
ing
Upon a bamboo floor l lay my head
BY soldiers nicknamed a feather bed.
| groaned, l turned, l cursed, swore
But hope and rest is not found there.
Presumptious thought, might as well
Attempt to sleep or rest in He'll
But yet in spite of scenes like this,
CHANGED to get moments ease.
My turn for duty is the next
Enough to make the Saints all vexed.
The Gun fired, my name they called.
I jumped from my bed and cursed Lu-
Zon.
May heavens grant a soldier prayer,
1t is my first and it is sincere,
To restore me to my native land,
Beyond the oceans brokeless foam.
And if cross the raging mann
To see this Gods cursed land agin
In steamboat, ship, or in a balloon,
Or riding crossways on the moon,
On eagles back or vessels deck,
May the Devil break my blessed neck.

OREGON IN A BAD WAY.
Hattleship VIII Probably Re Ordered
Home for the Making of Per-
>manent Repairs.

II is probable the battleship Oregon
will be ordered home from the Asiatic
station. The reports and photographs
received from Kure of the injuries sus-
tanned by that ship on its way to Taku
show that it was damaged to great
er extent than was at first supposed,
or than has been indicated in the pre-
vious reports from naval officers at
tached TO the ship. The attempt to
repair the damage must have been of
the most temporary character. and
consisted largely of filing in the huge
apertures with timber framework COW
cred with sheet iron. The repairs are
described as merely something to keep
the water out, and it is doubtful if
the permanent repairs can be done at
Hong-Kong. 1t is estimated that it
will require several months to com
plete the work, which includes good
deal of internal construction. The
ship is badly damaged throughout,
and it will probably be necessary to
place it out of commission.

ITALY CATCHES FAD.
Count of Turin Introduces Ameri-
can Shirt Waist.
Likes the Style and Adopts II and II
at Once Becomes Popular
with Fashionable
Young Men.

The struggle of the shirt-waist man
in Italy has been tragic. The impos-
sibilty of defeating his purpose is il
lustrated to good advantage by the
manner that he has fiourished in spite
of environment. The popular count
of Turin, first cousin of the king, was
the first to introduce the fad. Since
his visit to America two years ago he
has followed closely the American
fashions. When he learned of the pop
ularity of the shirt waist he imme-
diately designed an Italian edition.
The count is an artist, and with
his crayons he sketched several de-
signs similar to the shirt waist that
has been struggling for recognition
in America, and sent them to a manu-
facturer in Bradford. England. lie
accompanied them with patterns in
madras linens. Dozens of the shirt
waists were manufactured for him.
The murder of the king made it i'm
possible for the count of Turin to
wear the pretty colors and gaudy de-
signs. But he is a man of resources.
He put them carefully away and i'm
mediately designed new waists to be
made up in soft white silks with black
stripes running through them. These
were made in hurry, but with ex-
cellent taste, and on proud and hap
py morning the gallant count APP
peared, taking his early morning walk
in the Quirinal palace along the Pia
Sistina, where so many American vis-
itors have their residences, to the
Pincio, the famous public gardens of
Rome.
1t is needless to say that no Young
Roman considers himself complete
now unless he wears shirt waist.
A striking innovation which the
count introduced is the buttons of
the waist. In one case the buttons
are gold coins of the realm, ten-lire
pieces. They are the size of the Amer
lean two and a half dollar gold pieces.
On another waist the buttons are of
black jet, each as large as franc
piece and arranged in a double row
like the buttons on an Italian officers
tunic. The rows are far apart at the
top and tapering inward at the bot
tom.

The First Shirt Waist.

The shirt waist man is the usual
thing-history repeating itself. A study
of the fashions of forty or fifty years
ago discloses the fact that woman bor-
rCwed the shirt waist from the first
shirt waist man, one Giuseppe Carl
baldi known to the worlds history and
helping to make it. His favorite cos
tune included red flannel shirt, but
no coat, and the general admiration
for his heroism led Dame Fashion to
borrow the loose blouse and use it as a
pattern for separate waists of silk or
wool, called the "Garibaldi waist"
Therefore, if men insist on being COM
Portable in similar garment they will
be entirely within their rights, since a
man first introduced it.

SPIDERS NEST IN BOYS EAR.
Ninety-Six of the Insects. All Alive,
Are Removed by
Physician.

From the ear of the eight-year-old
son of James Hawkins 90 live spiders
were taken, besides three balls of eggs
and lot of spider web The boy, who
lives with his parents at Senath, ten
miles from Kennett, Mo-, complained
of earache, and his mother applied a
common remedy. tobacco juice. She
was astonished to see a full grown
black spider come out, and in few
minutes several others appeared.
The boy was taken to physician,
who coaXed out IA other spiders. The
boy was then put under an X-ray
light and a lot of other spiders were
discovered. All of the spiders are re-
ported to have been as large as buck
shot. The physicians have preserved
the captured insects. The boy still
suffers severe pains in his head and
his experience may yet prove serious
II not fatal.

A GUILTY Mother.

When a theatrical production which
receives no extra booming becomes a
success, one of the greatest, it gees to
show that it possesses more than an
ordinary interest Such a one is that of
"A Guilty Mother" 1t is a drama of
the sterling kind and ranks with THE
Silver King" in its strong situations
and climaxes 1t has also many emo
tiCnal scense, which rank with those
in East Lynne" the Two Orphans"
and Camille" As a scenic produc-
tiOn it is not surpassed by any on the
stage. The story of "A Guilty Moth
er" is simple, yet new, and is one that
appeals 10 the heart of every good
woman; and as one of the leading
critics of Philadelphia told his readers,
no one can see the play without be-
ing better for it," The trials of the
loving wife and mother arouse the
sympathies of the audience and when
the happy reunion comes everyone
leaves the theatre delighted This is
the attraction which will be at the
Auditorium, on Friday October 5th.

GaIIia County Oil and Gas.

The Springfield, o., Natural Gas Co.
began drilling an oil well on the Rich
ard Hartsook farm 2R miles south
vest of Vinton this week. They ex-
pect to drill to the Clinton limestone at
a depth of about 2SOO feet. Oil men
think that there is a large oil pool in
the direction of the eastward dip from
the Sugar Grove gas field. That is the
largest gas field in the world. They
get the gas at about 2300 feet below
the surface and 1000 feet below the Be
rea grit. They drill into the limestone
about 40 feet and until the drill is
held up by the gas pressure. The ave-
rage pressure of the field is 900 pounds
to the square inch. The theory that a
large oil pool exists on this side of the
gas field seems to be proved by recent
developments in Vinton County,
where two producing wells have been
recently drilled into the Clinton With
very satisfactory results. The princi-
pal operators are the Standard Oil Co.,
the Springfield Natural Gas Co., and
Theodore Barnsdale. The Springfield
people have 10000 acres leased in this
county, located in Huntington, Nor
gan, Raccoon, Perry, Green and Spring
field townships The wells will cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 each, according
to the amount of water found in the
lower strata.-Gallipolis Tribune.

Cambridge Tin Mills.

A telephone message to this Office
from the tin mill this morning says
that one tin stack is running and an
other was being made ready to start.
The message did not state whether the
stacks were being operated by home or
foreign men.
1t is reported that seven timers ar
rived here from Canal Dover last night
to work on the stacks, but when they
learned the situation they refused to
go to work and returned home. They
claimed that there was some misun-
derstanding, as they had been told that
most of the timers at this place had
gone to Muskegon, Michigan, and the
plant is short of men.-Cambridg Sun.

10 72,491 members and probationers;
also to 65,634 Sunday School lcholars
and teachers. 147 pastors live in par
sonages. or preachers homes tAa rest
rent homes. The churches cost a total
of $3.50, 800 and vary in cost of erec-
tion from s4O0 up TO 100000. The
parsonages range from $3.50 up to So
0OO The lowest preachers salary is
$50; the highest $3,1OO. The confer
ence assists in supporting the Ohio
Wesleyan University at Delaware and
the Protestant Hospital at Columbus.
The preachers are a wide-awake, prog
ressive host, and keep the denomina-
tfon growing all the while.

"At this time of the year you are
sure TO find many who have o?ertaxed
their financial resources. But the APP
plicatons for relief here outnumber
anything in the history of the con-
sulate. of course, there are no means
in our hands to finance stranded trav-
elers, and If there were they would
long since have been expended. Guests
