BONDS WHICH BIND.
Rev. DR.. Giffin's Tribute.

Roy. DR.. G. NJ. Gifln changed the
announced subject of his sermon last
night for an address, in which the dead
! Queen of England was the central
| figure. The text was from III Samuel,
235. Ruling in the fear of God al
| ludine to Davids review of his reign.
The speaker paid n touching tribute
to the beautiful and noble life Just
ended from which he drew the follow
ing lessons:
First-The importance of prepara-
ton, as all coming into a mastery in
diCates the value Of the queens previ-
Gus training for her high position. A
great many failures are noted because
of imperfect preparation for the duties.
Second-Her course of training did
not diminish her trust in God. Learn
ing is never to keep us from leaning
| on divine strength.
There was an improvement i'm a stock
of degenerates. She came from q race
which had become almost race of
| fools. Many representatives were in
sane. Her father was spendthrift.
Sometimes we work this hereditary
| theory too much. When it hits we
give it credit, when it misses we saw
it is a queer lapse.
But deeper than blood is the charac-
ter of the queen. Unlike her father.
she was parsimonious, and in her
mental balance her strong, calm mind
surpassed most.
Her long reign indicated that not
work wisely done kills. Bishop Brooks,
when her guest, once wrote to friends
i am visiting a very respectable but
dull family" The queen said of him,
He is too fast" alluding to his be-
Wildering rapidity of speech. This
calm, quiet. regular life of hers gave
her a long reign. American women
envied her the lofty position the, but
terliy existence, but Queen Victoria
was really the hardest worked woman
of the age.
After alluding to the length of reign.
as indicated by the changes in the
world, DR.. Gffln spoke of the fact that
the queens life shows how great may
he a Woman's competence to manage
large affairs. Many men will admit
their ability to control in a limited
way and although they may say that
she had the advantage of great men to
advise her, yet ii takes supreme
shrewdness to pick out such assistants.
The address concluded with q trib-
ute to Americas sense of the great
loss of friendship so true and last
ing The queen espoused our cause i'm
the days of Civil war and refused to
permit PalmerstOn'S insulting declara-
tion in the Trent affair to be issued
until il was revised by herself and the
dying prince consort. The suggestion
was made that the successful admin
istratiOn which had closed was passed
into the sons keeping with such ease
that it should tend to diminish certain
rapid Republican ideas and to instili
! the thought that the British form of
government is not The worst in the
world.
The queen, when notified of her ac-
cessiOn, fell on her knees before the
ENJOYS. praying God help me to be
| good and He did.
The speaker believed that there
should come an Anglo American alli-
ance founded on affection.

SAYS THAT The
GRIP is CONTAGIOUS
DR.. James j. Walsh Advises Avoid
ing Association With Persons
Who Have That Disease.

Dr. James j. Walsh. of New York
city. who is a native of Parsons. had
an article in a recent issue of the
New York Journal on the grip, which
he says is a contagious disease DR..
Walsh says:
I'VE have just gone through some
typical grip weather. Ever since the
first great modern epidemic of grip in
1889 cases of the disease have been al
most constantly with us. Even in the
summer time, when It Is ordinarily
supposed to be dormant, careful bac-
THEOLOGICAL examination Of the secre-
tions caused by certain obstinate colds
has shown the presence of the bacillus
of grip. This bacillus does not stand
warm, sunny weather Well, and as q
consequence these cases are only Just
frequent enough to keep the bacillus
continuously alive in our country.
For grip does not originate anew
each winter. but is a continuation Of
the epidemic of former years. The in
fiuenZa bacillus is quite as individual
in it's characteristics as any member
Of the plant family. 1t never by any
chance is modified into any other bacil-
lus. One might as we'll expect to
gather acorns from elm trees as have
grip bacillus produced by the microbe
of ordinary pneumonia, for instance.
The microscopic plants retain their
identity as effectually as any of their
higher plant relatives. They may be-
come modified by climate and environ
ment, but change their individuality
never.
The most interesting properties of
the influenza bacillus are that il soon
loses It's vitality when dried, and it is
very susceptible to the action of sun
light. The typhoid bacillus stands dry
ing indefinitely. Strings dipped in cul-
lures of typhoid bacilli and then hung
up in a drying chamber for two year,;
are found to have live baclli on them,
Even when all the moisture in the air
OF the chamber is removed by con-
centrated sulphuric acid the typhoid
bacilli are not killed. The bacillus of
grip pershes under such conditions in
a few days.
THE grip bacillus uxurates in
moisture. This gives us the reason why
the disease Is so prevalent at the pres
ent time. We have had mild winter,
and now for the last ten days most of
the country has had camp and cloudy
weather. This Is the typical grip
weather so often spoken of. 1t was u
mild, open winter, not unlike the pres
ent season, but with much more rain
IN 1t, when the first great grip epidemic
| occurred and the disease secured its
hold on western civilization for all
time.

Many Crowns for the Queen

Rev. Dr. II. +. Y. Pierce paid n glowing
tribute TO Queen Victoria last evening
in his sermon Many Crowns for the
Queen, or, Coronation Day" He took
his text from Esther .: l., which is as
follows: And the king loved Esther
above all women. and she obtained
grace and favor in his sight more than
all the virgins, so that he set the royal
crown upon her head and made her
queen instead of a Nashti."
In opening his address Dr. Pierce
stated that he had set a great task for
himself in trying to give proper credit
to the dead queens virtues in so short
a time and that hours could be spent
in telling of her worth.
Queen Victoria was a mighty woman
and with her womanly tact and wisdom
made the English empire what ii Is
today. No queen ever set upon a
throne more regal or swaycd a sceptrc
more brilliantly than Queen Victoria,
the speaker stated,
"rha Americans are taught by the
historians to always hate the English.
| trust the time will come when the
mother country will be considered our
friend, and that We will speak kindly
and reverently of her"
Comparison was made to the sorrow
of Italy over the death of King Hum
bert Then the grief did not extend
beyond the borders of Italy, although
America did show a good deal of SYM
pathy.
Now England is in tears. Scotland
is weeping and Ireland is lamenting.
Everywhere in the nation and the ISL
ands of the sea there Is weeping. sor-
row and lamentation, for no woman
was so deeply mourned as Queen Vic
,tora. Tho world sympathizes with

OPINION IN THE
LEWIS TEST CASE
After Further Argument Was
Heard on Saturday Judge Arch
bald Said Opinion Will Be
Handed Down Today.

Further arguments i'm the case of
District Attorney Lewis versus the
County of Lackawanna. which was
brought to settle the question as to
whether the new county officers are
emitted to i.1s or salary. were made
on saturday before the full bench by
w. j. Hand for the plaintiff and ex-
Judge ii. a. Knapp and Ira II. Burns
for the defendant county.
Mr.. Hand contcnded that the only
question at issue was whether or not
the Act of 1866, providing for fees. or
the Act of 1876, providing for salaries
In counties having over $50 600 inhab-
itants. was in force on November s.,
1900, or election day. He argued that
the Act of 1866 was in force. because
the census returns showing the popu-
lation as being over 150 900 were not
announced until November 10. To put
the Act of 1876 in operation after that
date, he said, would be to violate the
constitution, which says that no oiii-
ciafs salary shall be reduced after his
election.
Ii was the date of the announcement,
lie said, and not the date on which the
census was taken, that was to he
taken into consideration. He pointed
| out the analogous provisions OF the act
classifying cities, which provides that
city shall go from one class to an
other when its population is officially
announced. The attorneys for the
county argued that the county came
under the salary act in June, as on
that date the population was over 150,-
0OO
The judges announced that an opin-
ion in the case would be rendered this
morning. An appeal to the Supreme
court is to be taken, no matter which
side wins, and an attempt will be
made to have it heard next month.

The effort to have the certificate Of
nomination filed by the Coyne faction
OF the Lackawanna township Democ-
racy. declared illegal, came to an alb
rupt termination Saturday. Objections
were filed on Wednesday and Saturday
liked as the time for the hearing.
When the matter was called up Sat
urday it appeared that the constable
who had been intrusted with the work
or serving notices of the objections
upon the persons interested had failed
to do so, and as there was no service
the objections had no standing.
The proceedings will be instituted
anew by Hon. John i. Quinnan, who

toiced In English freedom, and-her
critics 10 the contrary notwithstand-
ing-both by her prccept and example
she defended the Christian faith. The
greatest glory Of England began when
her people had free access to an open
Bible. For this great boon Wycliffe
first and after him other reformers
wrought and suffered and died and
won the day.
ut Is well to remember this, because
the same forces that made England so
great and so glorious are the very
same forces that have contributed to
our own national greatness and glory.
The Bible, with its sublime and holy
doctrines, lies at the foundation of our
national life, and 1t behooves both this
nation and old England to guard well
their foundation. for If the founda-
tions be destroyed. what can the right
eous do?
1t is to Bible Christianity more than
to all other powers combined that the
United states and England owe their
high place among the nations of the
| earth. VIII these two nations that
speak the same language continue to
occupy this exalted position? Yes; If
they continue to be true to Gods truth.

May those bonds which bind to-
gether these two nations--the bonds OF
a common ancestry and a. common
brotherhood. the bond of common
language. the bonds of a common
Bible and a common faith--may these
bonds grow stronger and stronger and
become closer and closer. But if there
must be rivalry between us, let it be a
rivalry as to which nation can do the
most to promote the cause of human
liberty. and exhibit the worth of ma
tional virtue: or let it be a still holier
rivalry, as to which nation can do the
most to save the lost, and to extend the
boundaries Of the Redeemer's King

ARCHBISHOP'S PRESENT.

When more than sixty years ago.
on her coronation day. the Archbishop
of Canterbury, handed to the young
queen a copy of the Bible, he addressed
her in these words: "Our gracious
queen, we present you with this book
the most valuable thing the world af-
fords. Here is wisdom. This is the
royal law. These are the lively or
acles of Cod Blessed Is he that read

this book, that keep and do the things
contained in it, For these are the
words of eternal life, able to make
you wise unto salvation, and, so, happy

From that day until the day of her
death the Bible WAS Queen ViCtoria's
companion and guide. She vowed, on
her coronation day, that she would
keep the faith, and, that, to the utmost
of her ability, she would maintain il
throughout her dominions. That vow
she faithfully kept. She fostered Eng
