Policy Of Minority.

EOllN4 VI IAliAOAA W.
The interesting portion of the caucus
followed, when Representative McClel-
land, of New York, al the direction Of
the New York members who had Just
met prior to the assembling of the eau
Gus, offered the following resolution as
an expression of the sense Of the caucus.
Resolved, That we shall promote TO
the utmost OF our power the removal Of
the oppressive, restrictive and often pro-
hibitory features of the existing tariff.
1t has been truly declared to be the
mother Of trusts. The tendency to cre-
ate great combinations of wealth and the
establishing of practical monopolies in
the manufacturing and commercial in
dustries Of the United States threatens
the future existence Of individual manu-
facturers and merchants and tradesmen
of moderate or small means.
That tendency must undermine the
sturdy independence Of large bodies of
American citizens and may we'll be
deemed the most serious menace to the
moral and political welfare of the
country. The time has come when our
industries, manufacturing as we'll as ag-
ricuturaI. which practically enjoy pro-
lection, For the reason that their pro-
ducts are xported" and because, wheth-
er or not duties be levied in their favor,
when competing products can be prof.
tably imported, should be permitted to
avail themselves Of foreign markets to
the fullest extent, as they cannot do
under existing restrictions. Highly
protected industries should no longer be
permitted to sell more cheaply to for
eigners than to their own countrymen.
Fit and thorough relief can be had only
by amendment of the present tariff.
But we shall favor such reciprocity as
will reduce, even il not altoge ether re-
move, the unfair and oppressive burden
of the present system.

Near the center of the island is a

or right wise-ness," is & characteristic /,
worth having. And if we can gain some
part of what Jesus Christ was, as either
Make me what you were as a child-or
boy .or man, it is worth while 20 pray:
make me what you were when you were
a man"
This means a wise care over the physi-
cal as We'll as over the mental life. No
one can say that Jesus forgot the well
fare of the body. Bur his ideal of bodily
welfare and physical success was not
moulded according TO the desires of the
/ body. He put first things first and
his body did not stand in the way of
his spiritual experiences.
He lived in the body as if it were his
home and not himself. His was the
spirit dwelling in the flesh. The
home has its skeleton, it's joists and stud
ding and its rafIers. 1t has its outside
boards, and then it's coat of paint, and
its place for outlook. But the real home
is the family inside.
| Sometimes We speak of the sevenfold
man, and We analyZe him: "a The sIel-
eton, the bone man; (2) the network of
muscles, another skeleton; 80 the arte-
ries, the blood channels, through which
the blood is forced to the extremties;

lions of pleasure or pain; 90 the skin
which in its human form binds all the
skeleton forms together with their fill
ling in of flesh. This is the human house
but it is not home" until the spirit
man has taken up his habitation within.
The real man is the man with spirit
powers, dwelling in the house for a sea-
son. He is to take as good care of it as
possible But Its wise protection must
other homes, its relative Importance as
house to the true value of the family
wthin-and the actual tnsignificance of
its term of existence, compared with the
power of life possessed by, its occupant.
1T takes true wisdom to put first things
first" And this was the wisdom of
Christ in dealing with his own body dur
ing his life on earth. He exercised most
practical common sense in preserving the
powers of his body for the work he had
to dc.
His human wisdom is also manifest in
the tact with which he dealt with men.
He never sacrificed truth to friendship,
but he has made a world love him
He was wise beyond our power of COM
prehension when he broke to mOrtals the
bread of truth and taught them things
eternal.
To be like him means a steady heroic
devotion to truth for ourselves and for
others. And a gradual development into
his character.

REV. Mr.. WESTERVELT'S THIRD
SERMON ON manifest MAN

BIr. Westervelt, in his third sermon on
The Manifest Man." spoke in part as
follows. on the text, Luke 2:40: 'And
the child grew and waxed strong in spir-
1t, filled with wisdom and the grace of
Gcd was upon him"
This was human, not divine growth.
The child prayed wisely when, with great
longing. he poured out the prayer: Lord
Jesus. make me what you Were when
you were six years old"
The advantages of circumstances are
usually granted to the boyhood of Christ.
He had good guardians unquestionably.
There were good homes and bad homes
then as well as now. Nazareth was not
noted for either wisdom or righteous
ness Nathaniel the first councillor who
came to Jesus, asked before he came:
"Can any good thing come out of Naza-
reth?" There was no use in arguing, so
Philip said: Come and see" From a
childhood which had its growth in such
city Jesus, the one perfect man, was
the product His boyhoods experiences
Ibis temptations his trials, his victories,
4 meant a continual struggle against the
| evils which made the place renowned for
it's uselessness as well, perhaps as for
Its wickedness.
That a clear, spotless manhood both
physical and spiritual, came from Naza-
lreth, is proof that the boy Christ could
lsay No to the playmates who tempted
him. The childhood OF Jesus outlined by
a few broad character strokes, shows
courage and strength which are sublime
To be as strong and true as Christ was
when he was six, ten or twenty years OF
age, is to make sublime childhood and
youth for anyone.
In addition to this, he was filled witt
wisdom" In no other person of his
tory have wesan example of wisdom Sc
perfectly assimilated. No other one has
received wisdom and SO worked it into
his own mind as to become the infalliblt
teacher of seed truths. The sermon or
the Mount alone is still beyond the bes
thinkers of the world. No one knows
how to even emphasize perfectly its ap
plication to everyday life, and yet every
student recognizes it's principles as the
best solution for the social problems OF
today.
To be like this teacher is to seek q

f'How did Tantalus get It's name?"
The question, put to Professor Curtis

them got permission from their teachers

going up Forest Ridge, which used to be
an open ridge, they went up Round Top.
When night approached they were still
some distance away, with the valley be-
tween them and the peak. The valley
was covered by a thick underground, and
they had to give UP the ascent The boys
were only youngsters of ten, but they

the Times from Montreal saws: An
officer of the Royal Yacht Ophir is au-
thority for the statement that the tor
pedo boat destroyer Quail was within
an ace of being sunk by the Ophir in
the Gulf of st. Lawrence. The occur
renee was witnessed by the Duke and
Duchess of Cornwall, who were on
deck at the time The Quail was or
dered to come alongside the OphiT and
take off dispatches from the duke,
which were to be cabled or mailed to
the King of England.
The Ophir was going at sixteen knots
an hour, and the Quail came Up at

off the bag containing the dispatches

The man failed to get off the bag, and

was all up with the little Quail. So

fouled a rope and her stern was drawn

They were beset by the mosquitoes, and
escaped only by standing UP to their
necks in the water and remaining there
for several hours. Then passing steam
er rescued them.
A few weeks ago two Philadelphia men
determined to explore the island. They
went there prepared with head nets and
anti-mosquito lotions, and although bad
ly bitten, they succeeded in making a
survey of the island. They found that the
pool in which the mosquitoes bred was
slightly above the sea level and that at
one place the retaining wall of the nat
ural reservoir was but a few feet in
thickness and a few charges of explosive
would demolish this. This will be done
early next season. in the hope of draining
the pool nearly to the bottom. This
would exterminate the mosquitoes and
make the island habitable opening up a
property worth thousands of dollars, as
it seems an ideal place for summer re-
sort.

FATALITY REPORTED

Light has broken through the storm the city like a monster shadow in the wake of the fearful tornado has given way to active, energetic work in behalf of the unfortunate citizens who were left helpless by the wrath of Mondays catastrophe.
 The bright sunshine fell upon the scene of devastation yesterday, as if in mockery of the storm kings rage, and sparkled merrily in the rain drops that clung to the broken trees and wreckage that lay in the pathway of the storm
 The work of rescue was continued yes- terday, and an army of men and boys were busy removing the wreckage, many of them searching among the ruins of their own homes.
 There are fow changes in the list or | dead and injured, although the latter class | is being augmented by the addition of l many names of persons who were slightly l bruised or scratched in their marvellous l escape from death.
 The merchant, J. Alexander, whose l store on the corner of Twenty-fourth l street and Avenue I was totally demol- ished was not killed, reported An old German named l.. c. Cfumke, of whom there is very little known, was the white man taken out from the ruins. Except fer the difference in names this makes no change in the death list.
 The only addition to the list of fatali- ties is the name of Sarah Brown a negro woman who died from fright at her home in North Birmingham, where the storm struck about two hours earlier than in the city The woman had been sick in bed for several days and when the storm burst in fury upon the frail shanty she occupied and threatened its destruction she was over come by fear and fell back upon her pillow dead.
 Favorable reports were received from the more seriously injured, who are be- ing cared for at the various hospitals and infirmaries. except as to w P. Dick enson the medical student, who is at St. Vincent's, his condition being report ed as critical.
 Thousands of spectators thronged the storm district during the entire day to view the work of destruction, which was truly appalling.
