Nearly every week, says the Boston
Christian Register, we see in our con-
temporaries some reference to the
dead line" in the ministry. This talk
about the dead line creates it. The
most effective preachers in all churches
as a rule, are men past so years of age.
The collections of star fishes and
sea urchins belonging to the museum

though not large the collection con-
tans some interesting and valuable

One of the peculiar arguments which
lately came to our notice, says the lsos-
ton Waterman, was that of a member
of a pulpit committee of church
which in all its history has never kept
pastor more than four years. He OBJ
iected to calling minister so years old,
because he feared that at the end of
10 or 20 years he would be worn out,

A BUFFALO DUEL.
Herd Is OVERTHROW by
Younger Member.

In his paper on 1.-The National Zoo
at Washington" in the Century, Ernest
Seton-Thompson describes duel be.
tween two buffalo bulls.
"The buffalo herd had so far reverted
to a native state that the old bull ruled
for several years, much as he would
have done on the plains. He was what
the keeper called not bad BOSS that
is, he was not malicious in his tyranny
One of the younger bulls made an at
tempt to resist him once, and had to be
punished. The youngster never forgot
or forgave this, and year or so later,
feeling himself growing in strength, he
decided to risk it again. He advanced
toward the leader, John L. and shook
his head up and down two or three
times, in a style recognized among
buffalo as challenge. The big fellow
was surprised, no doubt. He gave a
warning shake, but the other would
not take warning. Both charged. But
to the old bulls amaZement, the young
one did not go down. What he lacked
in weight he more than made up in
agility. Both went at it again, now
desperately. After two or three Of
these terrific shocks the old one re-
allied that he had not now his old-time
strength and wind. AS they pushed and
parried, the young bull managed to get
under the other, and with tremendous
heave, actually pitched his huge body
up into the air and dashed him down
the hillside. Three times the old bull
was thus thrown before he would yield.
| and then he sought to save his life by
fight. But they were not now on the
| open plains; the pen was limited, and
| the victor was of a most ferocious
temper. The keepers did what they
could, but stout ropes and fences in
| terposed were no better than straws.
The old bulls body was at last left on
the ground with 63 gashes, and his son
reigned in his stead. This is one of the
melancholy sides of animal life-the
weak to the wall, the aged downed by
the young. 1t has happened millions OF
times on the plains, but perhaps was
never before so exactly rendered for
human eyes to see."

1T MADE A DIFFERENCE.
Dramatic Critics Did Not
Agree.

From the Daily Grind, May s, 1899, re-
lated by the indianapolis Press: Miss
Violet Florida Waters, in the amateur per:
Torrance by the Histrion club Of Camille
last night displayed an ability and a marvel
Gus command Of stage technique that many
q professional might envy. 1t is safe to pre-
die; for this gifted youpng lady that if she
ever choose to adopt the stage as a career
her name will become one Of the famous
ones in dramatic history"
From the Daily Grind, May II, 1900:
"The Plugalong repertoire company opened
at the opera house last night in Camille.
Seldom has the dear old chestnut been so
badly done-the worst offender being Violet
Florida Waters, who punched holes in the
title role and frazzled its edges in a manner
that plainly showed her to need years and
years of training before she will be fit to be
anything better than back row ornament
in an amateur show-let alone scale the
proud heights of the drama at ten-twent-
thirt. Miss Waters is a frost"

A clothing merchant in lower Broadway
had big lot of clothes that he had bought
at a bargain, and by putting price OF Sl5
on each he thought they would sell rapidly,
for they were Of exceptionally good value
for that money. He put one of the suits on
sign about its neck which one OF his smart
clerks had painted on piece of cardboard.
This announced the price. Then he and his
clerks prepared to do a rushing business.
The hours passed and no one came in to buy
the suits. This caused the merchant to Won
der, and at length he determined to 60 out
and take look at the sample suit and sign.
This is what he found on the sign: These
suits SIS. They won't last long" Pedestri-
ans passing by saw the sign and smiled at its
frankness. The merchant tore down the
sign from the suit, and the clerk who had de-
signed it started out to look Tor another job.

sambo and the Fresh man.

An American writer tells good story OF
his college days. 1t relates to a Negro, gar
dener, a jolly fellow, with whom the boys
used to have considerable sport. Sometimes
he would floor them with his ,repartee.
One day in spring Sambo had been burning
the college green in order to get rid OF the
old withered grass A freshman came along,
and. thinking to have some fun, shouted:
"Say, there, Sambo, you ought not to burn
that stuff"
"Why?" inquired Sambo. ,.,,
Because" replied the freshman, It'll
make that grass as black as you are :,
"Wel, massa," retorted Sambo, "dat,.s all
right. Yes, dat's all right. Never you fear;

James Montgomery. one of the widest
and best-known men in newspaper circles
died yesterday evening at his resi-
dence in Philadelphia in the eighty-fifth
year of his age. He was born in Philadel-
ph.a in 1916 and resided there nearly all his
life. He came TO Washington when John
w Forney started the Washington Chron-
icle and took charge of the composing room

the service of the Philadelphia North
American as its foreman. Mr.. Montgomery
had wide acquaintance and knew all the
newspaper men of war days. In 1882 he
met with an accident from which he never
recovered. The death of his wife several
years ago was great shock to him and
directly led up 10 the condition which end
ed his life. He was a prominent man in
Masonic and odd Fellows affairs, was a
Knight of Pythias and a member of Typo
graphical Union He leaves a family of six
daughters. TWO married and four single

JAPAN CHEERFuLLY CONSENTS.
May Use NaRasaki as q Base of Sup
plies Against China.

AS was anticipated, the Japanese govern
ment has given Its cheerful assent to the
application of tho United States govern
ment for permission to land armed troops
ard military supplies at Nagasakt in tran
sit to Taku. China. This privilege was
desired in order that the Pacific transports
plying between San Francisco and Manila
should not be diverted from the regular
route, but that the troops and stores car
RED from San Francisco and intended for
service in China might be transferred at
Nagasak to other vessels of the transport
service and taken by them direct to Taku
The japanese authorities have not only
agreed to the proposed USE of Nagas&ki. but
they have also assured the United States
government that they will facilitate the
movement of American troops and supplies
as much as possible. The Quartermasters
department of the army has provided three
large transports Of the Philippine service
for use on the lire between Nagasaki and
Taku. and it is expected in this way to
expedite the movement of troops to China.

ALLEGED FRENCH PROGRAM.
No Circular Has Been Sent Here b
the Paris Government


Inquiry at the State Department de-
veloped the fact that no such circular as
that described in the Rome dispatch in
yesterdays Star as having been received
from M. Delcasse had reached here While
our government and that at Paris appear
to be pursuing exactly the same line of
policy as to China. and consequently are
moving forward toward the common OBJ
Jects without friction, 1t has not been
deemed necessary or expedient to attempt
to reduce to form and substance an agree
ment upon which common action should be
had. The same statement is equally true
as to Germany and other powers Our
government has not found it polite to en-
bark upon any joint formal program be-
yond the matters touched upon in the
identical note of July3, defining the objects
of the United States In China.
At the French official quarters here the
Rome report is denied with equal positive
ress. Mr.. Hay and NJ. Thiebaut have dis
cussed number of the details constantly
arising. but it can be stated positively that
at no time has anything like a circular
from NJ. Delcasse. proposing an agreement
OF the powers as to China been presented.

FALSE REPORT CURRENT
That the Russian Cruiser XariaE
Would Be Detained.

There was rumor today that this gov
eminent, on account of the alleged decla-
ration of war between Russia and China,
would not permit the Russian cruiser
Variag, built at Cramps shipyards, to leave
our port. hf- /,
At the State Department It was declared
that there was absolutely no foundation
for such an absurd rurilor; that all Russia
had done was to proclaim martial law over
two of her own provinces, and that this
no more constituted a declaration of war
than would the temporary suspension Of
habeas corpus in San Francisco or than
does the fact that Madrid has for six
months been under martial law by edict of
the Spanish government. There is abso-
lutely no warrant. 1t was said, for this
government to detain the Variag.
Remey Urged to Every Effort.

following message to Admiral Remey at
Chefoo:
"Conger telegraphs is in British legation
under fire from Chinese troops and that

sacre. Use and urge every possible en-
deavor for relief.
