At the Methodist Church.

~ SItC NhVSttO0lSS SttAiSlbs
There was a packed house at the M. E.
church last night. Even the class rooms
were filled. The speaker of the evening
was Anon Clark, a we'll known young
man Of this city.
Mr.. Clark chose for the subject OF his
discourse, Salvation" and after his ad
dress there was an earnest appeal to all
those who were not certain regarding
the salvation Of their souls to accept the
invitation which was extended to them
to become Christians. Two persons re-
sponded to the plea, and expressed de-
termination to lead better life.
Mr.. Clark has been licensed as an ex-
horter, for about six weeks.
The sermon last night was his fret
work along that line, and wac very we'll
delivered. He spoke earnestly, and
carefully. 1t is not an easy matter for q
young man to preach his drst sermon,
with his audience composed Of young
peopls with whom he bas associated in
worldly ways, practically all his life.
But being sincere in his religion, nothing
OF old recollections restrained him from
making his address in clear and un-
embarrassed manner. The past with
him is passed, and buried with the old
life, the present and the future are the
subjects OF his sermons and he expects
to pursue the work OF preaching the
gospel, and to make life study OF it.
His friends wish him success and hope
that he may become that which he most
desires, a power for good among his
associates.

terest at all fin this question. The per- sons who have been hit by recent adverse rulings of the department take lively interest in 1t and are not unlikely to carry their point unless the constituents of the Congressman understand what IS involved in this matter and bring pres sure to bear on their representatives.
 The residents of rural districts have been converted to thorough belief in rural free delivery. At first they did not take kindly to It. Now 1t cannot come too soon for them. The Postoffice Depart ment is being importuned by farmers in all parts of the country for this service. Congress will appropriate for an extension of that service next year, no matter what the postal service may be, but if those receipts showed a surplus instead or a deficit the rural free delivery service would be extended with greater rapidity:
 At the end of this fiscal year the rural population receiving daily service Will reach 5,70O, 900. But the delivery system will then cover only little more than a quarter Of the eligible portion of the country, The inhabitants of the remain Ing three-quarters will not get this daily service unless they speak out so that Congress can hear them. They must let Senators and Representatives know that the recenpts of the Postoftice Department must not be lessened and the extension of the rural free delivery system delayed in order that subsidies may again be paid to the concerns which have been deprived of them and are now laboring quietly anu industriously to regain them.

MopERN1z1NG CONSTITUTION.
"The Supreme Court Has Amended

Philadelphla Times Hnd. }

Philadelphia Times Qnd).
 The proposal that convention shall be called at the end of each century to revise the Federal Constitution and bring that ven- erable and revered instrument down to date a proposal traced back to Mir Rosewater of Omaha--is about much in order as a propo- sition to revise Shakespeare the Scriptural writingB That social and political conditions undergo change we know very well, and al- tered circumstances require some modified ton in a nations organic law; but the Con- stitution provides a method for its own amend ment, and, difficult though 1t be, there is a well established impression that the process presents no more obstacles than is necessary to give stability to our institutions.
 The most precious feature of our whole na- tional heritage is our sense of permanence suffer soine inconvenience at different points under a rigid system than to open the way tc nasty and inoonsiderate change. The Ameri- can tradition in regard to the amendment Of the Federal Constitution is conservative There Is deep-grounded feeling in favor of the old as against the new in all strata or our popu' lation. The man who would lay hand ir- reverently on any part of this great insru' ment, respect for which and those master minds who drafted it Is inculcated in every school boy. is suspiciously regarded. The un- changing character of this national document makes it still the palladium of our liberties and keeps 1t safe from the fatal touch of all kinds of passing revolutionists and cranks.
 It is true enough that State Constitutions are frequently changed and there seems to be necessity for this. The unwritten English constitution is a gradual evolution. and 1t is still developing Nothing that has ever been said is more true than this about the Ameri- can Government-that it is the English consti- tuition of George ILL reduced to written form. England has moved while we remain station ary She has her valued cabinet system and weak King, while we retain strong Execu- Constitution Is not inhexible. By verbal amendment develop very slowly. We have added four amendments in more than a cen tury, and three only as a result of civil war and martial law in the Southern States. but We advance also by interpretation.

 If this system may seem to have its disad Vantages and to lack in straightforward pur. pose it is by means wrong. When we say that the Bible, or any classic writing. should not be revised, it does not mean that the de Velopment of civilization may not some tint alter our view of it. Change and expansion make us look at the Constitution in a differ ent light at different periods, and it is to thu eternal houor and glory of the fathers tha their foresight and art enable them to contriv an instrument whose great trlths are so ele mentary and fundamental that they success fully defy the inroads of time

 Salt is an absolute necessity of living. and Q salt tax is therefore, a blood tax Even the malevolent genius of tarin robbery fights shy of it, and ventures to give the salt trust no further shelter than is afforded an impost of SI.6o a ton on salt in bulk. and S2, 4o a ton on salt in packages To this extent the Ameri- can people are mulcted in extraordinary profits for the salt combination, which, within twenty years past, according to Census Bureau re- turns, have increased it's watered capital nearly five times over, while increasing pro- duction about 65 per cent. and cutting down the number of salt-making establishments 40 per cent So rapacious is this combination, that notwithstanding the duty and the bulky character of the shipments, more than 100000 tons of foreign salt come in annually over the amount scarcely to a beggarly 7,ooo tons from xsaar fo year

SHE'S A STARRING CAT.
Washington Market Boxer Ready
 Always to Meet All Corners.

New York Sun.
 There Is a sparring cat in Washington Market whose antics would make a hit upon the stage.
 She is a common gray tabby, belonging to nobody in particular. but following the natural habit of cats in keeping where fish food Is plentiful. she can generally be found near the fish stands. She does her stunts in the alsles when one of the boys has time to play with her.
 A touch on the head will make her rear up and strike out deftly with right and left paws. She leaps foot in the air at times to strike at a boys hand but when the blows fail they are usually as harmless as if she wore boxing gloves.
 Only when she is under the greatest excitement does she permit her claws to protrude beyond the velvety. pads and when she bits she seldom breaks the skin, but woe to the foe who strikes at her and runs away
 She will stand up to the fray as long as passes are made at her, but should her tormentor turn, Tabby fastens to the calf of his legs with both teeth and claws and holds on until he renews the fight with his hands.
 She is so used to fighting men that the biggest dogs has no terrors for her.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.
Do Ants Reasonp

Lord Avebury's experiments and ob- servations lead him to think that the ant possesses a glimmering of reason. Dar- win considered the ants brain, looking at the intelligence the creature displays the most wonderful thing in the universe; Professor Wheeler. having examined compound and mixed nests of ants, ar rives at the same conclusion as Was mann, that it is unnecessary to assume the existence of anything beyond instinct and simple intelligence" and that there are no evidences of ratiocination." The Professor goes on, however, to assert that this result. even if extended to all the lower animals, does not imply the admission of any qualitative difference between the human and animal psyche.

Arsenic-Free Beer.

The royal commission appointed last February to investigate the causes of the arsenical poisoning epidemic confirms the conclusions arrived at by independent au- nation of arsenic from beer, it is point ed out that certain tests are so delicate that any beer, however carefully pre- pared, would show minute traces if eX- amined in sufficient quantity. At the same time it is not conceded that 1t would be right to declare any quantity of arsenic, however small as admissible in beer and 1t should be the aim of the manufacturer to exclude arsenic alto gether. The commission proposes to pre- scribe standard test for beer fixing maximum limit, above which there shall be no discussion.
