Weird TRAGEDY Of The Sea.

object bobbing up and down to the
motion Of the waves. Closer study COZ
vlnced Shick that the object was an
overturned boat, and he quickly noti-
fed Captain John Cole, Of the lifessv-

manned, and the overturned boat, which
aoated about TWO miles from shore, was
soon reached. 1t proved 10 be the lost

ing of profound sympathy for him; fc1
We know that it is by no means certain
whether be viii resch the end OF his
course in safety. No matter how well
he mas been trained, nor how high his
aim may be, he is bound to meet With
temptations that will test his charae.
Ter to the very foundations Of it. L sck.
ing in ezperieoe, and in the practical
wisdom which nothing but experience
can bring, he will often be at disad-
vsntage IN fighting the enemies Of his
soul; and sometimes he will be likely
to 20 down before an ONSET which he Is
not prepared to meet. Nothing can
save him from such catastrophe except
the fixed determination to obey God at
all hazards and ia~ssnllree@ezgens!es. iia 81 e@ez
Whe1e7ef he drops down from this high
Level to position Of more prudential
expediency hels in danger of being lost.

these words, ne Beg him to ponder their
meaning, and to ask himself whether
they do not hold some lesson that may
DO Of profit 70 him.

Got the Wrong One.

A New Haven, Conn, dispstch says
the report OF the coroner's inquest in
the Rathbun poisoning mystery was
made public Wednesday. L, finds that
the death of William Rsthbua vas
caused by poison put into the coffee Of
bosrder John = Hart, by Maria Ann
Rsthbun, wife of William. The intea
slon Of Mrs. Rsthbun was to secure the
death OF Hart, with whom she is de.
clared to have had Illicit relations.
Jealousy because Of Hart's neglect Of
her and his attentions during the last
few months to another woman, is ss.
cribed in the eoroner's report as the mo-
tive for Mrs. Rathbun's alleged set.
The poison was put into Hsrt's dinner
pail and Rashbuo drank some Of the
coffee when Hart declared it had Pc
cullar taste and burned his stomach.
Both men were afterwards sakea sick
bat Hart recovered.

CLOSE OF The CENTURY,
Wonderful Growth Of the Worlds
Population and Business.


This is time when the ststistician
and compiler revel in opportunity.
They are pre- pairing facts, figures and
comparisons relsting to the nineteenth
century and show some astonishing re-
suits, for hundred years is short
time il the worlds history. When the
closing century opened the population
Of the world was put down at $40, ,O00,-
900. Now it is placed at billion aud
half, the increase bsing about $50
per cent; fact that should silence
the pessimistic philosophers who have
seen signs and portents that the human
raes is graduslly approaching e1tin-
guisbnent.
But it is the showing made by an
accepted authority in the movement
of commerce that beEilders concep-
,ion and staggers the Imagination. A
hundred years ago the worlds inter
change of commercial commodities sg-
gres,eda billion aud a half. Now the an
nual total is twenty billions. The COM
mercial trade is more than six times
pt capita now than then, practically all
the applications Of steam and elecsrici-
ty to the uses of the worlds traffic hav-
ing been made within the interval. The
aversge output Of gold for the first half
Of the century VAS fifty millions, and
last year it was twenty times that
amount.
The worlds shipping is fifteen times
greater than in 1880, while, as the re-
suit OF inventions then unknown, We
have narly half million miles of rail
roads, nearly a million miles Of tele-
graphs, and 1853, 900 miles Of submarine
cables. To the agencies Of Transports
tion and Communication must be added
the telephone, the electric railway sys
TENS, and the marked improvement in
all features Of the mail service.
Ole Of the most remarkable fssts
in this whole review is the phenone.
nal Development Of the country. Then
it was the experimental state and f.o.
ing the grim problem Of existence: IL
was rich only in raw material aod M
developed resources. 1t had yet to
6sht second war with England, to
deal with the native savages, and faal-
ly to pass through the great struggle
that made possible complete uoion Of
states.
Now ne are doing more than tenth
of the worlds foreign trade. We are
producing quarter of all the geld:
We surpass all other nations in railroad
facilities, We are relied upon for the
bu.k of food supplies, foreign markets
are clanoriDg for our coal, iron and
steel, the products Of our fa,sories are
selling abroad beyond oil precedent,
and the general prosperity Of our peo.
pie is unspproachsd by that of any:
other people. In the irresistible strug
gle for commercial supremacy We have
the incalcaable advantage Of owning
the richest base of supplies.
