The Difficulty of Keeping Obscure,
from ha poIt

A man in Pennsylvania has achieved fame
by always standing up when he sleeps. In
these sensation-loving days the man who
likes ohscurity has a hard time lodging the
lasso of notoriety. He has to be without a
popularity, and even then runs risks of
becoming noted for that.

Moderation Good in All Things,
From the New York Herald.

CHRISTIANITY.

The following dispatch is q fair
specimen Of modern day Christianity. |
and if it is endsrsed by any Of the
ministry Of the world it will work q
boomerang for the religious dealers:
Chicago, June ia special to the
Tribune from Denver, Colo, says:
Bishop Earl Cranston, who recent
~ returned from China. declared from
the pulpit today that civilized Nations
must rule China.
ut is worth any cost in money!"
he said. 1T is worth any cost in
bloodshed, if we can make the mil
lions of Chinese true, intelligent
Christians.
II would cut all Of the red tape in
the world, and break all the treaties
ever made, to place the armies Of the
United States in the fore, next to
Great Britain.
"The open door must be maintained
for Christianity, as we'll as COM
meice.'
This is from the head of a branch
of the Church and if don't carry a
tune of barbaric rule it will be hard
to find anything that does. People
are wondering why the people o.
China have revelted at the admission
of the so-called Christian in the
aowery kingdom, and if one but gives
the matter thought it would seen
that the Chinese made the mistake Q
the century when they allowed tn
first missionary to set foot within an,
of the sacred cities.
The Chinese had religion befor
the Christian was known of, and til
beliefs of the Celestial have been KEEP
in place for centuries. Now a lot {
we'll paid and we'll fed individual
wish to tutor a notion against it
will There is no doubt but tha
China will be divided among tn
contending Nations and the territor
annexed to the victors. With victor
and conquest the Chinese will neve
become such Christian as thi
Bishop is. The followers Of Confuciu
will never follow a belief that
thrust down them from a cannon
nor would they force their belief W
on people who disagree with the1,
With such examples of Christianit
thrust in the face Of thinking peopl
it is not wonder that the Iiberty-lo'
ing people of this land turn Suuda
into holiday and refuse to subscril
to missionary funds that bring bloc
as an interest for the money i
vested.

Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson,
who secured divorce some years ago
from her husband, and has since been
lecturing and writing poetry against
the evils of marriage, has just teken
second plunge into the dark and
uncertain waters Of matrimony. The
happy bridegroom, if he ever read he,
anti-1narriage verses, must have re.
garded them as a mere rythmica'
bluff.
Nearly everyone who read them
however, took about the same view

should Be Encouraged.

The city ticket office of the Cleve-
land, Lorain & Wheeling ana Ohio Riv-
er railroads, which is located in the
Mcclure House block, is an office that
should be appreciated by the public
in general. Here one may secure in
formation in regard to any point he
is DESTROYS of reaching, and at the
same time purchase his tickets, have
his baggage checked, which is much of
d convenience. This office is main
tanned at a considerable cost and on
this account the travelling public should
purchase tickets there in order that the
two companies may realize that the Of
flee is appreciated. 1t is centrally To-
Gated and how much more convenient
it is to go there for information than
to walk to the depots, and there prob
ably not get what information you are
looking for. There are many who
come in to find out all they want and
then go some place else for their tick
cts. They use the same lines and are
often disconnected by such transac-
tions. AS has been mentioned, these
two lines operate Inis office at a con-
siderable expense and it is no more
than right that in order to maintain
the service the public acknowledge the
kindness by purchasing their tickets
there when going by way of either of
the above lines.

New Cafe Service.

Commencing May LIST, the Wheeling

it's new cafe car service On the entire
system of the road. Mention of this
new departure on the part OF the COM
pany has been made through the col
umns of this paper, giving at the time
the immediate details. 1t is now learn
ed that three new trains are to be sup
piled, the cost being over n hum
bred thousand dollars. Each car will
be supplied with every modern onven
fence and will be up to date in every
particular. Mr.. ]. H. Burrells has been
appointed superintendent of the COM
mlssary and will have his headquar-
ters in this city. Everything in the
eating line will be supplied here, which
means much for cur people. Nh. Bur-
rell was formerly connected with the
T., st. l.. & K. c. company, and comes
to the Wheeling & Lake Erie with
quite a reputation as a dining car SER
vice superintendent. The company is
fast improving it's service in almost
every department and expects shortly
to have the sleeping car service add
ed. The branch line from Coshocton
to GAINESVILLE, Ohio, has been COM
pleted and passenger trains will be
running between these two points in
side the next ten days.

The Atlantic City excursions con-
Quoted each year by the Baltimore &
Ohio company, are to be five in num-
Der this summer. The first is sched-
Med for June 2Sth, and is about two
weeks earlier than the first one run
last year. The dates of the others are
July 18th and Goth, August 9th and 23d.
This year the company proposes being
more liberal, having extended the time
of the tickets from twelve to sixteen
days. The rate OF $40 will remain the
same, but the extra foul days is GER
tainly much of an inducement. A great
many excursionists want at least two
weeks at this popular seashore resort
and the news of the railroads granting
the request will be received with a
great deal of satisfaction. The Penn
sylvania company has not made public
the dates of it's excursions, but it is
understood they will alternate with
the Baltimore & Ohio. 1t is expected
that the exodus to Atlantic City will
be unusually large this season, espec-
tally from Wheeling. The Elks Grand
Lodge is to be held there and already
there are something over 200 members
who will attend from here. The boys
will charter a special train and pro-
pose to go in style. Last year was
considered a banner one, but the list
of excursionists will, it is expected,
be larger this time.
