A CHANGE.

sLord Jesus''-the pale face in the
 Salvation Army bonnet was raised, wholly unmindful of all the people ill that great multitude-''our hearts are longing tonight for lost souls who have wandered far away from home. And we know that thou art sorrowing over them now because thou art the Good Shepherd o Lord Jesus, we want you to come down here tonight and lead some of these sheep into the fold. Some of them are so bruised and torn with sin that they will have to be carried; but, o Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world, we know you are strong and can bear them in the arms of infinite love over rough places, be- side the chaSmS of satan and through the wild torrents of death. Oh, for the cross of Calvary to be stretched out like a great arm to save tonight! Oh, for the sweet forgiveness of sin to touch these human hearts right now: o Son of Mary, our hearts are bleed ing! We are weary to death of the long delayed coming of the miracle of redemption in these souls of men. Oh, bless us with the blood of the dying Saviour! Oh, raise us into new life with him who defied hell and death, all though they were two to one! Jesus, I want you to come tonight. These men, these women, how precious they are Who can tell what will be their fate if they should be called out of the world tonight? Their mothers, Lord Jesus-these strong young men, some of them, have mothers praying for them. Oh, I have dreamed of the ter TOT of the judgment for those who re-
 ject the Saviour! We are so in need of the power here and now. Open our eyes like those of the young man to see the horses and chariots of fire orolipd about tonight. aAYe- -With. the

RiStOrY'S Verdict

A distinguished British veteran says in a service paper: II cannot join in the chorus of approval raised by the London press for the liberal arson of Dutch property in anticipation of the final settlement of differences betwe en Briton and Boer. l can remember how severely Lord Clyde reprimanded Sir Hope Grant for burning an Oudh viii lages whence some of his men had been shot. Its monstrous folly, sir cried Lord Clyde. Don't you see you drive every man in the place to join the budmashes when you burn down his cabin?' Lecky. in his volume in 179S attributes much of the rebellion in some countries to the destruction of houses by the oldiery-militia and fencibles, the very sort of lads Kitchen CT will have under him.''-St Louis Re public,

A Mountain Accident.

A serious-seeming acciuent with a fortunate termination is reported by a western exchange.
 A man and his wife. while driving along a mountain road in Oregon met with a curious mishap. The wagon was overturned and the oc- cupants fell out. The woman dropped into the branches of a tree 50 feet below, and the man went, sliding and pumping, fully 800 feet to. the bottom of ravine.
 When he recovered his senses he was comparatively ;unhurt, and went to his wife's rescue, but it was an hour before lie could extricate her from where she hung by her skirts.

blood that was shed for all. Come now, Lord Jesus. We have followed. Make good the promise. Yes, we want some souls. We are hungry for some to cry out, Saved. sayedv We want to go triumphant into the judgment. We want to sing halleluiah before the great white throne with some of these poor lost sinners here by the side of us joining in the chorus with us. Oh, wash their sins away in the precious blood. Save them, save them, Lord Jesus"
 It was not so much the words of the prayer as it's intense self forgetful spir- it that impressed Stuart as never in all his life before. He was not Christian in the sense that he had ever confessed or joined church. He had a reyerent nature. and he had always lived by code of morality that was for him sutti- cicnt. He was too well educated, or he thought he was, to be moved by any thing purely emotional or coarse like the Salvation Army and it's drums and shouts But this was different. some how. The self forgetfulness, the self surrender, the agonizing longing for souls to be saved, all this was part of the prayer as it swept up past him from the slight womanly form kneeling there. And never in all his experience, never in all his SaunterinGs through great cathedralS and listening to chant ed services, had he felt nearer to q truer knowledge of what God is in his great compelling love for sinful man.
 All this took very little time, and he had no thought Of acting In any way o1, his feelings. But while the woman was still on her knees thing happened that in the end deepened his conviction and. changed the course of possible events among the miners themselves. The crowd was so large that only a very few could hear or see what was going on about the little band then at the foot of the church steps. It was true-at least it had been up to this tine-that the Salvation Army ill Champion had great influence over the miners. It was true still, but the de- mon of drink was abroad this night, and there is always large and unset ting factor to reckon on when that is the case. The men nearest the little squad were pressed hard by those on the outside Who wanted to see and hear
 what was going on. To prevent being showed bodily upon the little company the miners all the while the prayer was being offered were silently exart- ing their great strength to keep the mob back. Before the kneeling figure could rise. however, q knot of drunken men burst through the circle which had

been formed around her, and one of them with kick sent his heavy boot through the drum, and another stag gered with q drilnl1en oath, close tlp to the woman and raised his fist. Stuart, as he saw the face, thought that the rum crazed man imagined the kneeling figure to be that of his own wife, who had more than once begged him on her knees to spare her and her children.
 It was q flash of time, and Stuart gave the man q blow with his fist that knocked him swearing against man behind him. Before any one could raise his arm again or strike blow the nin CTS had seized on every one of the aS sailants of the army, and q roar went up from the entire mass of excited and angered men. The influence of the ar my still was so strong with the great majority that it resented with the deep est indignation any indignity offered its little band of officers and men.
 "Duck 'em in the fountain. yelled some one with more than a touch of grim humor.
 The fountain" was a huge cast iron basin in the center of the square which for several years had been used for watering trough. It had about four feet of water in it. supplied from the pumping of the mines.
 The suggestion was just suited to the coarse, rough spirit of the crowd. Struggling in the clutch of q number of brawny hands, the offenders were
 dragged up tc the basin and flung into it. As fast as they floundered out. drip nd c11,.Sn0 thnV thrown again. A great roar of laughter and shouts rose from the mob. In the midst of it all the army marched out of the square singing:
 Come sinners, to the Saviour now; He wore the thorn crown his brow; He shed his blood that you might be Redeemed to all eternity.
 There was the same dauntleSs look on the leaders face. No one could say that she was disappointed or disheart- ened by the seeming lack of answer to her prayer or by the wild confusion all about her. The squad halted out in the street, and there another group gather ed about them listening to testimony and prayer and song.

 T believe the men that did the burn | ing are caught!'4 cried Stuart to Burke. The two struggled over in the, direc- ton of the hill and were met by the same company that had come out to the house demanding Eric.
 The newcomers marched into the square, and one of them going up into the stand told the news. They had found the engineer, fireman and pump men locked in an old dryroom be- longing to a recently abandoned mine about n mile up the hills, tied secure ly, but uninjured. There was no trace of the men who had done all this for the evident purpose of firing the engine house and getting rid of Eric and Stu art as two men who would be likely ] to jn1ist una1 laH aQd order aa- long

CHAFFE['S ANNUAL REPORT.
Excellent Foundation Laid Without
Undue Harshness.
HUMANITY OF THE TROOPS.

Washington. Dec I'm his first
nual report General Chs.ffee sums up
the situation in the Philippines from
military point of view by stating that
the provinces OF Eatangas and I.s,guna,
in Luzon. and the islands OF Samar.
Mindora- Cebu and Isohoi constitute
the area now disturbed by any en-
bodied force of insurgents He says
that to the physical character of the
country, to the nature of the warfare
of the rebels, who are amigo and foe in
the self same hour: to the huIna nifty of
the troops. which is taken advantage of
by rebels and the inha bitants who
sympatfize with them, and to the fear
of assassination on the part of the
friendly disposed. if they give inforna-
ton to the American forces is due the
prolongation of the guerilla warfare
sSThe withdrawal of interference
with civil affairs does not contemplate
withdrawal of the troops from their
stations to any considerable extent;
the contrary this should not be done
hastily and when undertaken, should
be gradual and more in the nature of
concentration than reduction of force
abandonment OF any considera bic
area of territory
On the subject of the military gov
eminent of the city of Manila General
Chaffee says:
I'm the government of Manila for
three years, if the military have done
nothing more. it is everywhere appar
ent that excellent foundation has
been laid and turbulent and hostile
community brought to observe the
laws and individually be orderly: this
has been done without any undue
harsh ness severity of treatment of
the inh bitants-=,
He recommends that permanent
post be constructed at once in the vi
cinity of Manila for a garrison of two
squadrons of cavalry, two batteries of
artillery and two full regiments of in

Sydney, n. S. w. Dec 1o--By the
passage of the industrial arbitration
bill through its final stages, the gov
eminent has placed law upon the
statute books, the working of which
will excite interest throughout the
world
This bill not only compels reference
of all disputes between employers and
employees to competent court, with
power to enforce its orders or award,
but makes a strike a lockout before
pending such reference, u INSIDE
meanor punishable by a fine inn
priSOnment.
The court which will pass upon these
disputes is to be presided over by a
judge of the supreme court and will
have most extensive powers, including
the power to declare standard wage
and to direct that, other things being
equal, employer shall give prefer
ence to unionist over non-union labor

TO ANSWER GARNISHMENTS.
Banks Must Tell The Exact State
OF Deposits.
JUDGES HAD SIMILAR CASES.

Topeka. Dec. 1o.-The supreme court
has handed down a decision of interest
to bankers The decision was render
ed in the case of the Rock Island Lum-
Der Company against the Fourth
National bank of Wichita The COM
pany garnisheed the bank for a claim
which a man named Joselyn owed it.
The bank replied that Joselyn had 40
money on deposit. 1t was proven later
that ne did have, but that it was de-
posted in the name of Joselyn as
president of the police board The
president of the police board had no
right to the possession of police funds,
and the lumber company commended
that 1T was simply u way he had of
eIuding 1t: that the money really be-
Ionged to him and subject to
lrarnish1nent- Banks a rule deny
liza bility in order to protect their de-
positors- In this case the supreme
court took special occasion to lay down
a new rule for banks to follow 1t is
that when a garnishnent is run. the
bank must make full reply showing
what the depositor has on deposit,
whether it is deposited in his name or
as trustee. In fact the bank must tell
under oath the exact status of the de-
post.
The length to which the court went
in this decision is due to some expert
ence the Judges themselves had in
litigation of that kind when they were
practicing law 1t developed in the
discussion of the case that nearly all of
the Judges at some time other had
had trouble in finding out from the
banks the status of the accounts of
litigants. and in order to stop such
practice the court went a step further
than it really called upon to do.
Justice Pollock wrote the opinion.

Control T.


Washington, Dec Senator Nc.
Comas CId.) made an extended and.
carefully prepared speech in the senate

Carnot, Prime Minister Canovas, the
Empress of Austria, King Humbert and
President Mckinley having been fOully
assassinated by Anarchists within the
last seven years 1t was humiliating

our Federal laws to punish this fearful
crime. He argued that international
comfy called for action on our part to
suppress the origin of plots in this
country against foreign rulers Mr.
McComas was accorded close attention
throughout his remarks.
Senator Hoar (Aass-) said the great
difficulty in all these cases of assassina-
ton that the assassin was willing
and anxious to give up his life. Fear
of consequences did not in any way
deter such an assassin. Every assassin
