TO ASSIST MINISTER'S.

st. Louis. May l9.-At the third days
session OF the Presbyterian General AS
sembly today reports on relief for dis
abled ministers and widows and Or
phans Of deceased ministers. and also
on the method Of appointing standing
committees Of the assembly, otherwise
known as the Peoria Overture" were
continued.
A report on ministerial relief was
presented by Elder Lewis II. Sever
ance OF Cleveland, O., who showed that
the contributions Of the church had
neither kept pace with the advance OF
the church nor with the advance of the
roll OF annuitants. lie declared that
the churches should very largely in
crease their usual contributions to the
church. Twenty-Five thousand dollars
more was called for in contributions
this year than was paid last year, tc
make The appropriations that will b
required by the various presbyteries.
Rev. Benjamin A. Agnew. d D., sec
rotary Of the Board Of Ministerial Re
lief, made an eloquent plea on behal
of the ministerial fund. He gave lonl
array Of statistics, showing that tn,
board had on the roll today one minis
ter's family to every eight minister
on the roll of the General Assembly
In 1860 the .oard had only one minis
ters family on the roll to every eighty
seven ministers In the Assembly.

FRENCH POLITICS MIXED.

Paris, May l9.-The unexpected re-
suit of the Paris municipal elections,
so unfavorable to the Government, has
thrown France into state Of political
uncertainty, which the reassembling of
the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday
will help to clear up. The opening de-
bates will show how the hostile feeling
In Paris influenced the position OF the
Ministry in the proceeding at the
Palais Bourbon.
Count Boni de Castellane will be one
of the first to challenge the Govern
ment by calling the attention Of the
Chamber to the speech Of Joseph Rein
ach, intimating that pact exists with
the Ministry according to which the
Dreyfus affair will be revived after the
exposition.
After weeks careful investigation
by the police, no trace has been found
Of the alleged abductors Of the author
ess "Gyp" (Comtesse de Janville) nor
Of the mysterious chateau in which she
asserts she was held prisoner. There
are not lacking persons who are skep-
teal, especially as "Gyp" admits she
Is not sure she could recognize the
chateau Of her abductors. The police
have made a number of night excur-
sions in company with "Gyp" over the
possible area wherein the chateau
might be situated Many amusing Incl
dents have been the result, but the
search has been without practical out
come.
Though more than a month has gone
by since the opening Of the exposition.
there are still very important exhibits
which have not been opened to the
public and large sections remain in the
hands of the workmen. The effective
night illumination of the building and
grounds. which was to be one of the
most attractive features, Is still de-
layed. The statement Is not over
drawn that another month must elapse
before the exposition Is open in Its en-
tirety.

SIx-MASTED SCHOONER

Bangor, Me-. May ia siX-mastsd
schooner which is being built in the
yard of Percy & Small at Bath Is an
object Of great interest, and thousands
have come from distant points to sec
what she looks like. This big schoon-
er Is 301 feet 6inches long on the keel
so feet in the beam and % feet deep
and they figure that she will measure
about 300 tons gross, or about 275C
tons net. This is larger than some OF
the big ships launched at Bath in re-
cent years.
The schooner's keel Is the Longest
ever laid for a wooden vessel ON the
Kennebec. being six inches longer thar
the keel of the ship Roanoke, the larg'
est ship ever built in Maine. She is no,
much longer than the fve-ma y
schooner John b. Prescott, but Is six
feet wider and five feet deeper and Is
expected to carry $500 tons of coal tC
the Prescott's 400.
This monster schooner will ht
launched early In August. Before that
however, a six-master now in course o.
construction at Camden on Penobsco
bay. will be in the water, II being
planned to launch her on July 4th. The
Camden people say their schooner will
be bigger than that at Bath, just as
their five-master, John B. Prescott
beat the Bath five-master, Nathaniel T
Palmer, by five tons in size, 224s &c

When Mark Twain
Was Bn EditOr

The Buffalo Express thus recalls the
days when Mark Twain was the editor
Of that journal:
per was rather that Of a contributor
than Its editor. He eschewed politics
entirely, knowing little and caring less
about public men and public issues.
In the fall of 1869 the Republican State
Convention was held at Saratoga, and
when the news came of the nomina'
tons, Mark Twain felt called upon to
comment editorially upon them, the
Express being strong party paper.
So, under the caption, THE Ticket
Explanation" he, the editor of the
Express, wrote the following, which
was duly published:
Under the proper head will be
found the telegram from the State con
vention announcing the nominations,
As the political editor Of this paper.
Mr.. Larned, is absent tending that con-
vention, and as | do not know much
about politics, and am not sitting up
nights to learn | shall dis

and sound, and that they are the only
ones that can bring peace to our dis
tracted country (the only political
phrase I am perfectly familiar with
and competent to hurl at the public
with fearless conference.-the other
editor is full Of them;) but being mere
ly satisfied isn't safe enough. always

this political ring with his tomahawh
and his warwhoop, and then you viii

natural manner as to deceive the mos

Ideas are often poor ghosts; our sun
filed eyes cannot discern them; they
pass athwart us in their vapor, and
cannot make themselves felt. But
sometimes they are made flesh; they
breathe upon us with warm breath,
they touch us with soft responsive
hands, they look at us with, sad, sim
cere eyes, and speak to us in appeal
ing tones; they are clothed in a living
human soul, with all its conflicts, its
faith and its love. linen their pres
ence is a power, then they shake us
like passion, and we are drawn after
them with gentle compulsion, as flame
Is drawn to fiame.-George Eliot.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Chronicle says that the celebration
Of the centenary Of the poet Heine,
which was to have been an imposing
literary ceremony, was a very melan-
choly affair. A dozen or so journal
lists, chiefly German and English, met
in the Montmartre Cemetery in bitter
ly cold weather. The poets tomb was
sparsely decorated with flowers. A few
visiting cards were pinned to the
wreaths, and after little subdued con-
versation, the company departed.

Confidence can be put in legiSla-
tive and a1minist atiVe steps actuall
taken in the matter Of building an
interOceanic canal and in reasonable
deductions from these as to general
policy, but speculation can 60 no
farther acith safety. To many great
business combinations, more poten-
tiaI than actual, are competing tOr
notice and advantage in the preli-
minary steps of legislation to warrant
realiance on the most positive un-
official reports of what is going to
be done, and the political or diplO-
matte Interpretation to he put upon
the expected action. One or two
general conclusions are safe. 1t is
unlikely that the administration or
any congressman influenced by pu-
bile considerations alone will push
one plan of inter-canal construction
while waiting for an official report
on another. tits even more unlike
ly that the administration or con-
gress will take advantage Of British
preocupation in Africa to ignore the
Clayton -Bulwer treaty. That is an
obstruction to be removed by frien-
dly negotiation. If any actua, steps
shuld be taken for building an inte-
roceanic canal by the government,
it may be assumed that a definite
understanding has been reached with
England.

Anna GOuld'S
Husband.

All Paris is discussing the reports
published that Count BOni de Cas-
tellane, husband Of Anna Gould,
has lost heavily in stock speculation
in the last two months. just how
much it is difficult to ascertain.
The Count and Countess sailed
last Saturday for New YORK.
The alleged heavy losses CT Count
Boni de Castellane on the BourSe
were made sensational feature by
some of the newspaper. The Counts
father the Marquis de Castellane,
denies through the Matin that the
Count has suffered any losses by
speculation.
Your good faith has been abu-
sed," the Marquis writes. my son,
Count Boni, never INDUCED in any
Bourse speculations, and cOnsequen-
ty cannot have been proceeded aga
ints. If he were in Paris he himself
would dispose of this invention. In
his absence his father begS you tc
repair the involuntary wrong you
have done him."
In a letter to Fernand DerOdays,
editor of Figaro, the Marquis init
mates that the Count on the latter's
return or one with the Marquis him
self.
Nevertheless, inquiries made at
the best sources of information indi-
cate that Count de OaStellane was
involved in speculation in anticipa-
tion of a rise in stocks on account OF
the expected easy British victory in
the Transvaal, and that British re-
verses caused such a depression that
it was impossible for him to meet
his losses with ready money. The
speculations are understood to have
been through private sources, and
therefore it is difficult to secure alb.
solute confirmation of the reports.

Holland Society OF
New York Cheer
The Beers.

Boer sympathy and Dutch patrio-
tiSm we're rife at the fifteenth annual
dinner of the Holland Society of
New York. Every reference to the
brave fight now being made by Jou-
bert and Kronje was cheered to the
echo.
Dutch colors draDed the balconies
of the banquet hall of the Waldorf
Astoria, and back of the speakers
table hung the orange banner of the
society. 1t was one of the most
successful dinners in the sOciety'S
history, and 3S1 persons were pre-
sent, including guests.
In the course of his Introductory
address President Tunis G. Bergen
said:
"Of course, l do not wish on this
occasion to claim the earth for the
Dutch. our fathers, you know,
never did have much Of the earth
given to them. They had to dig a
hole in the ocean and build a dixie
around it before they could go asho-
re to their oOn country.
" Still, wherever the Dutch do
touch the earth they like to stay.
There they generally do stay until
they choose to move. You may
coax them and they will hustle. But
if you try to drive them you can't
get move on them.
" 1t has lately been discovered by
one of the greatest empires that So
metimes you can't make few Dutch
move on"

Attitude OF Germany
On "COntrabaud
OF War"

LII COHuluenGlnS upon Cne aCClCuue
of Germany in reference to the
"COntraband of War" question, the
New York 1" World " says:
"It is impossible to read the re-
suits of Germany's discussion of the
international laws of commerce with
Great Britain, as described in Count
Won Biilow's speech in the Reichstag
yesterday, without admiring the
firm yet civilized and peace-insuring
tone which the German Government
took.
Great Britain's proceedings aga
inst German commerce were only
shade less high handed than her as
saults upon us upon the high seas
that eliminated in the war Of 1872.
The German flag was inSulted. The
rights of German traders and mer-
chants were insolently trampled.
Instead of flying into passion and
laying her hand upon the sword-hilt
Germany Quietly and cOurteously in
sisted upon instant apology, repara-
tiOn and pledge of good behavior
whtre less demands would have been
a compromise of honor and right,
and suggested arbitration where the
incOmpleteness of the code of inter
national law makes the points at is
sue doubtful.
Great Britain yielded, and Ger
many achieved not triumph over
England but triumph by peaceful
means over English lawlessness and
over German passion. No wonder
the Reichstag " "rang with cheers"
There is one statement in Count
vOa BilOw's speech that ought on no
account to be passed over He said |:
Great Britain objected to the theo-
ry that goods on a neutral vessel,
consigned from neutral port to a
neutral port, are never cOntraband.
We left the matter open for future
discussion.
In the present war this principle,
by preventing Great Britain from
any interference with trade at De-
legoa Bay, might work her some
harm, although that might be more
than compensated by preventing her
from becoming entangled in the COM
plications sure to arise almost daily
through her denial of the principle.
For example, there is almost GER
tain to be unpleasantnesS owe the
seizure of the German bark yester.
day on its way to Delagoa Bay with
-four.
Certainly the principle is nothing
more than statement of an axiom
of common morals and common jus
tice. When A and B are at war,
how can that give either of them
any right to interfere with trade bet
ween q and D, who are at peace
with both and with each othergn
