 Christ to the Rescue.
 I was reading lately of a sailor who had just got ashore and was telling about his last experience at sea. He said: "The last time crossed the ocean we had terrific time. After we had been out three or four days the ma chinery got disarranged, and the steam began to escape, and the captain. gath ering the people and the crew on deck. said, Unless some one will go down and shut off that steam and arrange that machinery at the peril of his life we must all be destroyed He was not willing to go down himself. No one seemed willing to go. The passen- gers gathered at one end of the steam CT waiting for their fate. The captain said: I give you a last warning. If there Is no one here willing to imperil his life and go down and fix that ma chinery, we must all be lost A plain sailor said, I'll go. sir,' and he wrap ped himself in a coarse piece of canvas and went down and was gone but a few moments when the escaping steam stopped, and the machinery was ad- justed. The captain cried out to the passengers: All saved! Let us go down below and see what has become of the poor fellow They went down. There he lay dead" Vicarious suffer Ing! Died for all! Oh, do you suppose that those people on the ship ever for got, ever can forget. that poor fellow? Nor they say. Tt was through his sacrifice that I got ashore" The time came when our whole race must die unless some one should endure torture and sorrow and slame. Who shall come to the rescue? Shall 1t be one of the seraphim? Not one. Shall 1t be one of the cherubim2 Not one. Shall 1t be an inhabitant of some pure and unfallen world? Not one. Then Christ said, "Lo, I come to do thy will. O Godw and he went down the dark stairs of our sin and wretehedness and misery and woe. and he stopped the peril. and he died that you and might be free. Oh, the love; oh, the endur- ance; oh, the horrors of the sacrifice! Shall not our souls go out toward him, saying: Lord Jesus Christ, take my soul. Thou art worthy to have 1t. Thou hast died to save It."
 God help you rightly to cipher out this sum In gospel arithmetic: What shall 1t profit man If he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soulT' ICopyright. 1900. by Louis Klopsch. N. VI

Ii Hung Chang. Comm For Sale.

Ii Hung Chang's coffin was put up for auction at Marseilles the other day under singular circumstances.
 During his globe tour of 1906 u car ried with him, wherever he went, a coffin in which. in case of death, his re- mains were to be conveyed to the Flowery Land.
 When embarking for home at Mar seilles, Ii seems to have considered the coffin a useless freight.
 At any rate he left 1t at the hotel and the proprietor, not caring for his weird souvenir, passed 1t on to the customs depot. where, after reposing the statutory period, 1t figured In the periodical sale of unclaimed belong ings.
 There was no bidder.

No Are can consume 1t; no floods can drown 1t; no rocks can crush 1t; no walls can impede it; no time can ex- haust 1t.

FOR DEAD, HOME SAFE AND SOUND.

On board the steamer Ethelred which arrived
at Quarantine last night were Frederick and Will
lam Langston, Otto SegeIke and Noah 2. Mason
jr., OF the wrecked yacht Alris, which aban-
doned about thirty miles southeast Of the Scotland
Lghtship October II. and who were rescued by
the crew of the Ethelred. Captain Lansston stated
that they left Highland Beach about D. N. on Oc-
tober Is bound for Bath Beach. and had got about
one thousand feet Off Norton's Point when the
storm burst upon them in all its fury. They were
rendered helpless and at the mercy OF the
wind and tdie and drifting TO sea.
They then headed the yacht for Sandy Hook.
and after hard work got her close TO shore, when
they let go an anchor. but this proved unavail-
ing. as the cable parted and she was once more
at the mercy Of the winds and waves. They then
set signals Of distress. but no one came to their
assistance. Captain Langston then made a drag or
sea, anchor out of the remainder Of the boom and
kept the yachts head to the wind for about five
hours when the rope broke and the yacht lay
helpless in the trough OF the sea They then had
almost given up all hope Of being rescued when
the Ethelred bore down toward them. and at 10
o'clock on Wednesday morning Captain Ntckerson' ;
crew put of in small boat and landed them the

more than the usual number of callers to the

who called TO pay their respects or to shake
hands with the President.
The morning drive more extended than
usual owing to the delightful weather. and
when President and Mrs. Mckinley returned a
company Of elderly persons was waiting to
meet them. There were also in the day a num-
her Of visitors in relation to matters Of per
sonal business by people of Canton and else
where.
Another drive taken in the afternoon
lasting nearly two hours. and another crowd as
sembled to await the return.
The following letter was read at a Repub-
ican meeting at Alliance tonight:

Nv Dear Sir: Your favor Of recent date is re-
ceved inviting me 10 be present at the Repub-
lican mass meeting to be held this evening in the
new foundry building of the Morgan Engineer
T recall that for more than twenty years it was
my habit to meet annually the people of Ali
ance and vicinity in political discussions. Many
times in that period I have addressed working
men in the old shops of the company. With the
memories of these former meetings deeply re-
gret to find that my engagements viii prevent
me from being present for 1t would be a real
pleasure TO greet my old friends on an occasion
like this which marks the industrial progress
Of Alliance secured through adherence to the
principles of the Republican party, for the in
dOrsernent Of which you meet tonight.
This great addition to your COmpany's plant
is a happy omen for American labor and prac-
teal demonstration Of a prosperous business.
such extensions of industry indicate widening
markets and increasing prosperity, while they
insure larger demand for the labor Of the
workingmen and additional comforts for their
homes American labor and capital working
hand in hand Of mutual advantage, and in
friendly cooperation will secure industrial trt-
lIrnphs as yet unknown. 1 have no sympathy
with those teachings which inCite envy and
hatred among our people and would divide them
into hostile camps.
May this great meeting stamp with its dis
approval the wicked doctrine Of class distinc-
ton which has no place in our free govern
rnent. and mark q distinct advance in good re-
lations between employer and employed. Per-
nit me 10 congratulate the Morgan Engineering
Company, its great body Of workers and all
gathered at this meeting upon the encourage
ment which such assemblage gives to the
cause of sound money, protection and National
honor. Very sincerely yours

his bicycle is the easiest running and best wheel
in the business. 1t has been said Of J. F. Clark
the secretary-treasur of the New-York Division
of the League of American Wheelmen that he has
no hobby. He has commended like the Kentuckian
who said that there bad whiskey. that all
bicycles were good
1t was not until yesterday that Mr.. Clarks little
failing was unearthed Several members were dis
cussing the League OF American Wheelmen situa-
ton when asked for a knife. One
produced which opened with spring. and Mt
Clark became interested. After looking the knife
over he said, THAT beats me, and I thought that
I knew all about knives Then he produced a
combination knife which must have weighed a
pound, containing scissors and implements Of all
sorts. Then another knife. sharp as a razor
was pulled out OF a neat leather case. This
knife" said Mr. Clark II have carried since So
