GREAT SHOEMAKERS.
George Fox's Suit of Leather and Rog.
er Sherman's Common Sense.

Carlyle said that one Of the most
remarkable incidents in history was
that of the making of George Fox's
suit of leather. He made it him.
self. The man, the first of the
Friends, and by trade a shoemaker,
was one to whom the divine ideal of
the universe seemed to be manifest
ed. Fox made shoes until he be-
came so interested in the books he
had studied that he could not hold
himself in check. He had to
preach. He had no clothes fit to
wear, so he made himself leather
suit that would withstand years Of
wear. Carlyle wrote, 'Let some
Angelo or Rosa picture George Fox
on that morning when he spread
out his cutting board for the last
time and cut cowhides by unwonted
patterns and stitched them together
into one continuous all including
case, the farewell service of his
awl."
'Roger Sherman never said a
foolish thing in his life" said
Thomas Jefferson. 'FRoger Sher-
man had more common sense than
any other man I ever knew" said
another eminent man. "When I
come in late, and do not know
which way to VOTE" said Fisher
Ames, 81 ask how Sherman voted.
He always votes right" Sherman
was one of the signers of the Decla-
ration of Independence. He was a
shoemaker until he was twenty-one
years old. People used to point out
where he sat, where he worked and
studied, and where he could set his
book so that he could glance at it
in the interval of the work Of the
hammer and the awl Of his con-
nection with the gentle craft" he
was never ashamed. He declared in
congress against a certain contract
for shoes. ''The charges are ex-
orbitant," he said, which fact he
proved by specifying the cost of the
leather and the materials~nd of the
work. The minuteness with which
this was done excited surprise, and
then he said to the committee, 81

patriot and shoemaker he was, and
in both capacities he was. pre-emi-
nent for common sense Success.

The Wonderful Spider.

The body of every spider contains
four little masses, pierced with a
multitude of holes Gmperceptible to
the naked eye), each hole permitting
the passage of a single thread, all
the threads, to the amount of 1000
to each mass, join together when
they come out and make the single
thread with which the spider spins
its web, so that what we call a
spiders thread consists of more
than 1000 threads united.

Uo In a Balloon,

It is one of the peculiarities of
travel by balloon that you do not
feel anything, all is still with you,
no matter how fast you may be 60
ing. You see, you are riding with
the wind, you move as fast as it
moves, you are part and parcel of it,
whether you wish to be or not. It
takes you in its embrace so firmly,
yet so softly, you do not know it is
there.

What an "lnch" of Rain Means.

Few people can form definite
idea of what is involved in the ex-
preston, can inch of rain" It
may aid such to follow this curious
calculation. An acre is equal to
6,272,640 square inches. An inch
deep of water on this area will be
as many cubic inches of water,
which, at 227 to the gallon, is
$4,000 gallons. This immense
quantity of water will weigh $780,
900 pounds, or 100 tons. One-hun-
dredth of an inch alone is equal to
one ton of water to the acre.

Webster and the Clock,

Once while Daniel Webster was
speaking in the senate on the sub
ject of internal improvements the
senate clock began to strike, but in
stead of striking twice at 2 p. m. it
continued without cessation more
than forty times.
All eyes were turned to the clock,
and Mr.. Webster remained silent
until it had struck about twenty,
when he thus appealed to the chair
<'Mr. President, the clock is out of
order I have the foor!"

Talk ON "IdeaI Manhood"

The Rev. w c. Taylor, of the College
Baptist Church, talked yesterday
afternoon at the Y. NJ. c.. y. building 70 a
number of young men upon Ideal Man
hood" He said that the purpose of the
world was for goodness, yet man left alone
had become degenerated and needed help.
He said Gods character was such that only
goodness could come from Him and that he
fully lived up TO the character for which
man must look for a model Jesus Christ,
he SAID, was the eXemplifcation of God in
human form in order that man might see to
what he should attain.
He SAID the true index of a mans char
acter was to be found in his thoughts
those thoughts which occupied the mind
when Il was free from care and burdens
the thoughts which come TO the mind as
one falls into sleep and when lying down
for rest with nothing to worry about. Ee
argued in favor of pleasant dispositions,
which result from ideal thoughts, and men
toned a case in this city where recently
a young man competent in every way to
hold high position had lost his place and
was unable to find another because OF I'M
suitable disposition. He said ideal man
hood would not result without Christ and
the living up to the life of which He set the
example. Manhood is as much given Of
God as salvation" he said. God comes 10
give us manhood as He gave tx to McKin-
lev. TO Paul and TO Moody"

Rev. Mr. Mann Contrasts William Nc
KinIey and Czolgocz.

The deaf mutes Of the city co~ngregated in
the chapel of Christ Church yesterday
afternoon to listen to a memorial address in
the sign language by the Rev. A. w. Mann.
general missionary for the Episcopal
Church. His address was in part: 1.-The
dying words of a great man recall to our
minds some of the u%tterances of others who
have passed into history. The last words of
William Mckinley, Goodbye all; it's Gods
will" are food for thought among Chris
tians. He leaves to us the heritage of a
noble example; first, as a statesman, he
did his work nObly: second, as a husband
whose lOVable nature we all know so well.
and third, as a protested Christian.
THE shot from the assassin's pistol sent
one already high in the realms of fame into
a higher realm. 1t sent another away down
TO the regions of perdition. Compare the
lives of these two men and see the great
contrast in them. In one we see the God
like Christian statesman and in the other
the foul assassin. What has made this diff
ference? With the first ii is the result of
culture and the reading of good literature
and keeping good company; with the other
1t is the resul of reading seditious litera-
ture and keeping bad company

DEFEATED THE ALLIES
COLOMBIAN REGULARS WON 4 DE-
CIDED VICTORY NEAR LA HACHA.
Details of the Recent Battle i'm Which
VenezueIans and Liberals Were
Routed-A General Shot.

WILIEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Sept.
%. The Venezuelan gunboat MIRANDA
has arrived at Caracas from Guajira badly
in need of repairs. She cannot go to sea
again until she has been overhauled. Her
commander brings news confirming the re-
ports of the defeat of Colombian Liberals
and their Venezuelan allies near La Hacha
Sept. Is and IA. 1t appears that the Colom-
bian regulars withdrew and scattered as
the Liberals and Venezuelans advanced,
and then gathered again in larger numbers,
surrounding Gen. Davia Davila's command
just prior to the engagement of the 14th.
There is still no reliable information as to
the number killed.
An Indian chief named Jose Dolores,
whose followers are fighting with the
Colombian government, is reported to have
cut off General Davila's retreat TO
Venezuelan territory.
1t is now persistently reported that the
Colombians have captured and shot General
Echheverria. Inquiries seem to show that
he was born in Barranquilla, Colombia, and
was a Colombian. II shot, it was because
he was a native who had aided foreigners
to invade Colombia. There Is no doubt that
he was the commander of the Venezuelan
gunboat lately cruising before Lahacha
and Guajica. The decree under which he
i5 reported to AVE been executed was
published about a month ago. IL charac-
terizes as reasonable and punishable with
death the act of a Colombian invading
Colombia with foreigners. Whether exc
cuted or not there is no reasonable doubt
that General Echeverria has been captured
by the Colombians. 1t is rumored that
about two hundred wounded have reached
Maracaibo.

NORTHWESTERN PART OF MEXICO.
DR.. Carl LumpoItz Tells of His Ex-
~periences Among Indians Who 1--we
5000 Feet Above the Sea.
-rresnonderce Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
CHRISTIANLA. Sept. 16.-Last night Dr..
Carl Lumpolts, the traveller and explorer,
who has been spending the last five years
in the hitherto unknown regions of north
western Mexico in the interest Of the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History of New
York, and who is the first white man that
has lived among the cave-dwellers in those
remote parts, made his first appearance in
public since his return 10 civilization. lee
turing before the Geographical Society at
this place on his Mexican travels and dis
coveries.
The lecture was held in the hall Of the
university and was attended by a large
audience, among those present being the
Norwegian prime minister and many scien-
tifc and political persons Of prominence.
The lecture bristled with Incidents of the
life and travels of Or. Lumpoltz among the
wild Indian tribes of western Sierra Nadre,
and especially among the cave-dwellers,
who still live in the same primitive way as
their forefathers many thousands of years
ago in these almost inaccessible regions,
5000 feet above the sea. In order to study
these people DR.. Lumpoltz ordered the en-
tire staff OF his expedition to return. He
then commenced to live alone among them.
At first the tribes resisted his taking UP
his abode among them, but eventually he
gained their confidence and was allowed to
remain. He learned their ways, their Ian
guage and their songs and Joined in their
dances. One chief among the c~ave-dwellers
even went so far as TO offer him his daugh-
ter in marriage, and on another occasion
he was almost compelled to marry one of
the girls belonging to the Cora tribe. This
was at the express wish of the girls fam
lily, the only condition named being that he
should settle down among the tribe.
The Mexican Indians are -monogamists
and lead on the whole a very happy exist
ence. Among many of the tribes he found
a higher degree of morality than in civil
lied countries. They are highly intelligent,
and are, the lecturer said, a race far supe-
rior to their kinsmen in the United States
and South America. Theft and diseases are
both unknown among them. The land is
held in common. Their principal food con-
sistS of Indian corn and beans. They at
tain a great age. Both men and women of
100 years and over are often met with in
the pine regions. They are polytheists,
their principal worship consisting of reiig-
ious dances and festivals. Foot racing is
one Of their favorite sports, and they are
very fond of betting. The wagers generally
consist OF bows, arrows, blankets, beads,
etc.
The large and interesting collection Of
native pottery, implements and utensils
which the lecturer brought with him for
the American Museum OF Natural History
will, he thinks, throw a new light on many
hitherto unknown periods in the history of
the aVOllfiOn OF mankind

GERMANY in A BAD WAY

Berlin Boerse Much Depressed by
U~nfavarabIe Reports from Banks

BERLIN. Sept. 22-The depreciation OF
values on the Berlin Boerse continued

more marked as the week advanced, the
lowest figures of the year being reached at
the end. The market is still under the IN

by the latest published balance sheets OF
the industrial companies. which show heavy
reductions in earnings. Another
influence was the report published regard

Sermon by Rev. r. A. Atkins, Recently
Come from Y

The Rev. r. A. Atkins, recently trans
ferred from the Oregon Conference to the
Indiana Conference, occupied the pulpit
yesterday morning at the Meridian-street
VI. r. Church. He spoke of the sorrow
which this country has endured during the
past week and Hkened it to other. events in
the history of the world where trials and
sorrowful events were only the forerunners
of the glory to come. He said, in part:
