AN OCEAN EXPRESS SERVICE.
The ZeeInnd's Maiden Trip In the
Gufse of . Flyer.

Gu1se OF D fryer.
NEW YORK, April 30-When the Red
Star Line steamer Iceland sails Wednes-
day on her maiden voyage from this port
she will take a larger crowd of passengers
than her officers had any thought of few
days ago, for all those booked for passage
on the steamer New York for Southamp-
ton next Wednesday have been trans
ferred to the iceland. Consequently all
aboard the latter ship today was hustle
and excitement, and though she is spick
and span new. her trip from Antwerp to
New York last week having been her first
transatlantic voyage, an army of men
were at work today painting her sides,
polishing her brass work, and provision
ing the larder.
The ICELAND is a much slower ship than
the New York, and 1t is understood that
many passengers, to whom speed is the
first consideration In an ocean trip, are
seemed to be particularly upset about the
matter, said:
ut all comes from trying to have a
sailing every week from New York and
Southampton with only three ships In that
service. OF course, If all goes well, and
there are no bad storms or breakdowns,
IL works out very nicely. The express
steamers, west bound. arrive here gener-
allv on Friday. and sail again for South
ampton on Wednesday, which gives them
four days in port for unloading and load
ing cargo, cleaning ship, ana any repair
ing Of the engines or machinery that may
be necessary But II from any cause-a
bad storm at sea- a broken shaft or pro-
peiler or any OF the many things that can
happen on the ocean-there is two or
three days delay, then the sailing sche-
dule is knocked out, and persons who
have selected particular steamer for the
passage are told they must take another
vessel.
"Originally the steamers New York.
Paris St Paul, and St LouiS were all In
commission. and there was then no trou-
BILE because there was always vessel In
port on either side ready 10 take the place
of a sister ship that arrived too late to
sail again on schedule time.
James A. Wright. of the American
Steamship Company, when told of this
complaint said that the travelling public
was a privileged class.
They pay their money and have got
the right to find all the fault they want
to- I suppose" said he. I'VE run fast
express service between Southampton and
New York because we have the facilities
to do it, Our docks at Southampton,
which our boats can reach at any hour of
the day OF night are an important factor
in our fast service. AT Liverpool and
other ports boats can reach their desti-
nation only at certain hours, when the
tide is right and there is enough light.
we have our accidents, just the same as
any other steamship company. No one
is SO perfect as to avoid an accident. They
are bound to happen.

Errntlc Experiments in Religion.

The Shalam Colony. one of the nu-
merous pseudo-religious experiments in
colonization which have been tried in
this country at one time or another,
has died natural death, after life
of twelve years. 1t was fathered by
DR.. Newbrough, a New York dentist,
who wrote a book called "Oahspe, a
New Bible" This book taught that
animal life should not be taken for any
purpose, and gave curious history Of
the creation of the world. The colony
was supposed TO have been founded at
the command Of spirits. and was stu
ated in Texas.

There appears to be some danger that
a strike of coal miners may be ordered
by the Trade Federation of the United
Kingdom, as a protest against the de-
cision of Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Chan
cellor of the ExcheQuer. to stand by the
export tax on coal. The heads of the
union met in London yesterday, but de-
ferred final action until today. Should n
strike be decreed. as we understand.
1t would practically stop production
throughout England and Wales-a very
serious matter indeed.

pied the place of dock master and 1t was
under his direction that the timber dry

most of these communities is freedom
from convention. combined with abso-
lutte obedience to the will of the auto
crat who happens to be at the head OF
the enterprise. Naturally, there are but
few people who are SO susceptible TO
hypnotic influence as to be able to re-
sign all the feelings and traits de-
veloped by their past life and make
themselves over at the command of
visionary prophet. The leaders usually
gather their disciples from small vii
lagos or towns strongly dominated by
some narrow convention, and their doc
trines have the charm of novelty. which
is very great They fail, because the
charm of novelty is evanescent, and
they appeal to the elemental wants of
human nature in no other way. They
are essentially eccentrics. and in pro-
portion as they are separated from the
great current of human life they first
gain power and then swiftly lose it.
The difference between the really great
man and the eccentric is that the first
rises above humanity, the second
merely separates himself from it
which is quite different.
1t is not necessary to stigmatize the
followers of these men as weak-minded
or inferior, though they are undoubted-
ly apt to be persons of no great
strength of character. Some OF the
strongest and most intelligent men of
their time were mixed up more or less
in various eccentric transcendental and
socialistic movements of the past CEN
fury. When society becomes stagnant
and convention-ridden to such an ex-
tent that there is no real freedom to be
had, the result is crop of rebels, and
only time and experience can separate
the chaf from the wheat and decide
which of these rebels were real re-
formers and which were cranks Sew
enty-five years ago the man who ao-
vocated the Louisiana Purchase was
visionary schemer. A little later came
the establishment of the Mormon
Church. which has certainly not con-
tributed much to the glory of America.
There were also schemes to abolish
marriage. The West has been devel-
oped as its champions said it would
be; the State of Utah still covertly, IL
not openly. recognizes polygamy as
right and necessary: and the Oneida
Community and it's fellows are forgot
ten.
The trouble with the Shalam Com
papy was that it had nothing to offer
except a new theory of the creation OF
the universe, and a home in the coun
try; and most people are not greatly
interested in either unless there is some
prospect Of owning the home for them
selves. 1t would be a salutary thing
if all founders of a new faith would
ponder on the question whether they
have anything new to give their fol-
lowers which is going to prove indis-

STRAW FOR FORAGE.
How the Oklahoma Farmers Will
Solve Feed Problem.

Guthrie, o. T., Aug 1O-Okahoma
farmers are going to try the plan this
winter of using their straw for forage.
A stockman who has four hundred head
Of cattle has announced that he win feed
his cattle straw and expects TO bring
them out all right next spring. Here
tofore the straw in the territory has
been unHsued owing to the fact that the
Oklahoma farmer had enough of other
stuff to feed his stock. Il is estimated
that if the straw is fed right and with
other forage that it viii be worth at
least s. per ton to the farmer Many
farmers are already buying UP feed and
some Of them who secure more than they
can take care of viii make money from
the sale of the feed next spring.
