Weather TaIk.

When men cannot get their brains
together on other subjects, they fall
into friendly discussion of the weather.
In the last eight or ten years | have
talked weather with 10000 clever fell
lows, and the unanimous verdict is that
the seasons are changing. that Christ
mas Is greener than it USED to be, and
that winter fingers scandalously long
in the lap of spring; that wo have no
cold weather until January; and no
autumn until December; that billiards
come in April which used to come in
February; that roses which used to
bloom in May now bud in June; that
navigation in the Hudson closes later
every year; that sleighing that used
TO be excellent in November is now
poor in December and January; that
skating Is better in the Kinks than on
lakes and ponds; that the grounding
sees his shadow later by several weeks
than he saw it ten years ago-Nsv

why the Leaves Turn.

The common and old-fashioned idea
Is that the tints of autumn foliage are
caused by frost. Stated briefly, tbs
causes are these: The green matter in
the tissue of a leaf is composed of two
eolors. red and blue. When the sap
ceases to flow in the autumn and the
natural growth of the tree ceases,
oxidation of the tissue takes place.
Under certain conditions the green
leaf changes to red, under different
conditions it takes on a yellow or
brown tint-due to difference In COM
bination of the original constituents
of the green tissue. and to the vary
ing conditions Of climate. exposure and
soil. A dry, cold climate produces
more brilliant foliage than one that is
damp and warm. This is the reason
that our American autumns are so
much more gorgeous than those Of
England

A Clean Coal Mine.
The Gillian coal mines, opened in
1896, seem to be nice places to work in.
The seam of coal runs from the shore
under the waters of the Pacific ocean,
and the tunnels are so clean that you
could walk through them in dress
suit without making yourself dirty.
They are lighted by electricity. and
you can have a ride for a mile under
the ocean on an electric car at a speed
of twenty miles an hour. The mines
form quite a catacomb of well-Ilghted
passages under the water. The out
put of coal Is now 1000 tons a day.
and $50 miners are employed in them.

POLICE SEEKING
KENNETH DUNCAN
He Was Once Connected With a
School in HonoIulu--A Bril-
liant Preacher.

Kenneth Duncan, who is known in
Honolulu, having been connected with
one of the schools here, is being sought
for by the San Francisco police on a
charge of petty larceny.
The San Francisco Call of the 9Th
instant has the following TO say in
the matter:
The police are searching the city for
J. Kenneth Duncan, who was forced
through his drunken habits TO tender
his resignation of the pulpit lin the
Howard Presbyterian Church in 1893.
Duncan is now wanted for stealing a
valuable overcoat and pair of shoes
from S44 Van Ness avenue, where he
had been for the past six or seven
weeks employed as a waiter under the
name of Charles Russell. About two
weeks ago he was recognized by sis
ter of the landlady, who knew him in
Oakland, and he begged her not to ex-
pose him, as he was again trying 90 be
good. Saturday night he got his wages
and yesterday he was observed prowl-
ing about the rooms. About 2 O'Clock
in the afternoon he entered the room
of dental student, and stole an over
coat and pair of patent leather snoes,
leaving his old ones as a memento OF
his visit.
The landlady notified the police and
4 detective was sent to the house.
Duncan was a brilliant preacher
but drink ruined him. After his en-
forced retirement from the Presbyte-
rian church he was sent to Honolulu
in the hope that a change of scene
might wean him from drink He there
secured the position of instructor and
chaplain in reformatory institution
for boys and was doing well, but the
islands did not suit him, and he re-
turned here in October, 1895.

PRESBYTERIAN CREED.
DIR. Parkhurst Says a New One is
Badly Needed.

NEW YORK, April 15.-Rev. Charles
III. Parkhurst, speaking in his pulpit in
Madison Square Presbyterian Church
today, made a vigorous assault on the
Westminster confession of faith. He
said: I'VE ought to have a new con-
fession of faith. 1t is surprising that
the Presbyterian church is able to do as
much as it is doing with such an in
cubus strapped upon us as we are tot
tering under in our present confession
In the first place the thing needed is
not system of theology, for that is
what our present confession Is, but a
simple. brief Saxon statement of a half
dozen of the vital ingredients of Jesus
Christs message TO the world / could
get along with confession of faith con-
tanning but the little that Jesus said
when he was trying to make Christian
of Nicodemus: God so loved the world
that he gave his only begotten son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have eternal life That
gives to us the doctrine of Gods I'M
limited love, human guilt, the divinity
of Christ, salvation through Christ,
faith in Christ, Immortality; every
word Saxon, three-quarters of the
words monosyllables profound enough
for any elder, simple enough for any
four-year-old.
AT any rate We want a new creed.
Amending this one will not meet the
necessities OF the case. Better give 1t a
dignifed place in the museum for what
IL is, than hack 1t to pieces and revamp
1t for what II is not"

Part of the latest dispatch from Ha-
yana reveals Cuban character in con-
fict with American so typically that it
is worth reading carefully:
Acting Mayor Estrada Mora visited
General Wood TO inform him that in
consequence of the recent action or
the Havana municipality and of Cen
eral Ludlow in breaking down the mo-
nopoly in the use of the slaughter
house. held in trust for the cattle deal
ers. the latter had threatened not TO
supply any more meat, asserting they
had a monopoly of cattle and could en-
tirely cut off the meat supply of Ha-
vana.
General Wood told Senior Mora to
take thirty policemen and to occupy
the slaughter house, keeping 1t open
TO all who wished to kill cattle there,
and inform all members OF the cattle
trust that il they refused to supply
cattle they would not be allowed III flu
ture to kill at the slaughter house.
These instructions were carried into
effect and there was no trouble. Only
one mana member of the cattle trust
refused to kill, and he was Informed
that he would not be allowed to use
the slaughter house again.
This sort of thing crops up continu-
ally. Relying on some tradition which
has grown to be considered a right by
cause no one has had the courage 20
fight it, some man or group Of men Pc
riodically refuses compliance with an
innovation looking to more efficient
or a more modern, or a cleaner bust
ness method. The American in au-
thority proceeds TO carry out the in
novation just the same, and he does il
in so striking a manner that absolute-
ly no doubt is left in the minds of his
late opponents as to what is going tC
be done in future. The above instance
is a perfect type of hundreds of 9th
eIs-including the nelplessness OF the
Cuban Mayor. The Cubans are slow
ly learning the lesson of going ahead
and doing things that need to be done
instead of considering difficulties. OBJ

Unfortunate Action of the Mayor of
Chicago Brings Rebuke.

CHICAGO, April 15.-Mayor Harrison
today received from Duke de ARGOS, the
Spanish Minister at Washington, the
following reply to an invitation to at
tend the Dewey celebration in Chicago:
WASHINGTON, April 14.-Sir: re-
turn to you here inclosed an invitation
from the city of Chicago for the cele-
bration of the second anniversary of
the battle of Manila, which | take for
granted has been sent to me by mis-
take, as it is the first discourtesy / have
met with since | am in the United
States.
1T Is impossible for me to believe
that you have advisedly asked me, the
representative of Spain, to go to your
city and rejoice with you on the de-
struction of the Spanish ships and on
the death of so many brave sailors
my compatriots. That would have been
simply an insult, and as | do not de-
serve IL and it cannot have been your
intention, | am perfectly sure, as | say,
that all this is the result of an error"
In reply Mayor Harrison has written
the Minister, explaining that the invi-
tation was sent through the careless
ness or ignorance of a clerk and extend
ing sincere apologies for the uninten-
tional discourtesy.

HORRORS OF THE FAMINE.
Girls Sold by Starving Parents for

BOSTON, April 16.-The Rev. Rock

ing, but when | LETT Bombay last Feb
ruary there were some b0, 000, 900 people
suffering, and over 30,00O0O0 were in
dire distress, and of these but 5000, 900
were receiving Government aid.
1T is not the cities, but the country
places, which are stricken, and when
you know that so per cent of the pop
ulation of India is made up of tillers
of the soil, you may he able to grasp
in some slight manner the extent of the
suffering.
when the famine set in the people
began to sell everything they had that
might get a little grain food They
took the doors from their houses and
sold them; sold their furniture and
farming utensils, and then, when they
had no longer anything to sell, they
sold their children. The boys don't sell
well, and the traffic is largely in girls.
II saw girls in one town just before
came away being sold for 80 cents
apiece. They were bought up by Mo-
hammedans. But they won't buy the
boys, so when the parents can no longer
support their children, they abandon
them, and henceforth they must get on
as best they can. These cast-offs con-
gregate about the doors of the grain
merchants shops. and the only way the
proprietors can get rid of them is to
throw out handfuls of grain, scattering
Ii wide. The children pick and pick all

from the Ivory coast, had some very
trying experiences. Leaving the sources
of the Cavally river on November 25th
the mission entered an unknown coun-
try where strange people were encoun-
tered. Their language differed from
anything known and the natives were
dressed in blouses and trousers, woven
by themselves. The villages were well
built, surrounded by banana planta-
tons and connected with each other by
good roads, while excellent fishing sta
tons existed on the river and every
thing presented the appearance of q
