The Last Sleep.

Remark the eighth: All the victims of insomnia ought to be consoled with the fact that they will have a good, long sleep after awhile. Sacred and profane literature again and again speak of that last sleep. God knew that the human race would be disposed to make a great ado about exit from this world, and so he inspires Job and David and Daniel and John and Paul to call that condition "sleep." When at Bethany the brother who was the support of his sisters after their fla ther and mother were gone had him. self expired, Christ cried out in regard to him, @He is not dead, but sleepeth." Cheering thought to all poor sleepers, for that will be a pleasant sleep, in- duced by no narcotic, disturbed by no frightful dream, interrupted by no harsh sound. Better than any sleep you ever took, O child of God, will be the last sleep. In your other slumbers your home may be invaded by bur glars and your treasures carried off, but while here and there, in one case out of millions, the resurrectionist may disturb the pillow of dust the last sleep Is almost sure to be kept from invasion. There will be no burglary of the tomb. And it will be a refresh Ing sleep. You have sometimes risen in the morning more weary than when you laid down at night, but waking from the sleep of which I speak the last fatigue, the last ache, the last wor- riment will be forever gone. Oh, what a refreshing sleep!
 Most people are tired. The nights do not repair the day. Scientists, by minute calculation, say that every night comes little short of restoring the body to where 1t was the day be- fore, and 70 every seventh day was mt iu fhx. .Antsna. nnDA. .te. waka- .xD- In

Songs In the Night.

Remark the fourth: Insomnia is no sign of divine displeasure. Martin Luther had distressing insomnia and wrote, When I wake up in the night the devil immediately comes and dis putes with me and gives me strange thoughts until at last I grow enraged beyond endurance and give him i'll words" That consecrated champion of everything good, Dr. Stephen H. Tyng, ST., in his autobiography says that the only encouragement he had to think he would sleep at night was the fact that he had not slept the night be- fore.
 Perhaps this wakefulness may come to you as an opportunity to think over the mercies of the past and lay out plans for the future. David occupied the hours of wakefulness in music. He speaks of ''songs in the night" We could hardly recommend such a solo for most people, for 1t would disturb the slumber of others, and you have no right because you cannot sleep your self to keep others awake. But the cheerful endurance suggested by that midnight music of the psalmist we

Do not take this divine gift as mat ter of course. Your seven or eight hours of healthful unconsciousness Is a blessing worthy of continuous and emphatic recognition.

FINNIGANs BALL.

Murray and Mack, the Famous
original Irish comedians, who, for
many years have been the recognized
leaders in their style of entertain
ment, will present their perennial
success ''Finnigan Ball at the
Gennett on Thursday evening, May
}. 1t is quite safe to say that few, If
any, have ever been produced in
America that have stood the test OF
time so we'll 1t has been several
years since this eccentric and funny
play was first presented by these
comedians, yet, it is claimed, the
present season shows the largest re-
ceipts in its history, which proved
conclusively that the public, at least
a big percentage of it, like their
stage fun served to them in plain
unadulterated doses in large
chunks without capsuls. This
is certainly the way they
get it when they see ''Finnigan S
Ball, for more up-roarously funny
hurrah knockabout comedy it would
be hard to conceive. Charles Murray
and Ollie Mack the stars, are both
popular comedians and good produ-
GERS, it is said that "E'inigan s Ball
has been presented six different ways
in six different days, SO productive
are they of new ideas. New lines,
new business, new situations are con
stantly introduced which keeps the
action of the piece necessarily bristl-
ing into new fun and always up to
the hour with new ideas.

The general result of the munich
pal elections in this state yesterday
was favorable to the Republicans.
There was much apathy and local
questions overshadowed party
issues at some points. In this city
the Republicans gain two councilmen
and good ones at that. The seventh
ward is redeemed and in the fourth
ward Mr. Neff pulled through in spite
of a determined fight against him.
Altogether the result of the election
is a good sized straw showing which
way the political wind is blowing in
Indiana.

The PHILIPPINES.
Letter From Soldier of the Thirty
first Regiment
Richmond Palladium.


CoTTA BATo, p l.,
February Is, 1900.
1t may interest some of the readers
of the PALLADIUM to hear from the
country in which the 3lst infantry is
stationed. / will tell YOU about a
town about ten miles from Gotta
Bato, the headquarters of the second
battalion of this regiment The town
goes by the queer name of ''Timon
Tacka, and is laid out for large
place. 1t is on the banks of large
river and is ina very beautiful place.
1t was laid out by the Spanish
many years ago, and road
has been throwed up from Gotta Bato
through the swamps. 1t is very
swampy between the two towns and
would be impossible in the wet sea-
son if not for that grade. There are
narrow paths used by the natives for
years from which if a person steps he
would go under in the bog and
never get out.
But to tell you more about the
town. There is fine church there
and joining it are the walls of large
convent, but now burned out. The
grounds around the brick and stone
walls are thickly set in cocoanut and
banana trees, and the wide streets
make the place seem like Homo
lulu, the paradise of the world.
Cocoanuts grow by the
thousands and bananas are thick, but
are not very good eating.
The old Spanish barracks are used
by the F'ilipinos for their headquar-
tiers. They are very friendly here
and will do anything for an American
soldier.
The old fort is not used and there
is some talk of sending company of
soldiers there. The fort has ditch |
about eight feet wide and six feet
deep outside the outer wall The
outer wall is about five feet high and |
is plentifully supplied with loop
holes
The fort on the inside of the wall /
is also supplied with loop holes |
through which TO shoot II the enemy /
should get over the first wall |
All above this is rooms for men and
a good lookout so ii would be impos-
sible TO surprise them. Across the
river is some of the finest country in
the island. 1t is high and dry while
most of the country along the river
Is low and swampy and the tide rises
from the bay up Euer river clear to
the lakes. In walking along over the
dry places along the river the ground
seems hollow, and the government
wagons jar the ground for yards
around
Altogether this country is very
strange and the people have strange
ways. Almost every tribe Is at war
with SON.. other and it IS very hard
to get guides to go 10 different
places.
Several deer are in the mountains
and we have very good eating. Chick
ems are plentiful and can De bought
cheap There are also wild chickens
in til country
The regiment is scattered over the
islands so that | can I tell Just
how every company is getting along,
