SHORTER oHURcH SERVICES.

Methodist Protestant.
We have mover had much sympathy
with people who critIcise the preach e.
and complain of the CHI urch service be-
cause it is continued through an hour
and half, and conducted with the
reverence and dignity that becomes the
occasion and the place. Many who
distress the mselves over q sermon of 45
minutes long will listen to the har-
rangues of politician or the silly
frothings of clown for two hours, and
then draw sigh Of regret when he
stops.
We have noticed the matter some
what more closely recently in tho c,ty
churches. In the country churches,
where there is usually not more than
one service day, there is not often
complaint OF the length of the sermon.
Country people are not 90 much In a
hurry as to become restless when the
service is little long. f
But our observation leads us to see
that something may be said on the
other side OF the question. The people
IN the cities and the larger towns have
two church services every Sunday.
Many OF the churches begin ths Sun
day school at O'Clock, and when the
services are long 1t means that those
who 10 work in the school will be at
the church from 9 to- l o'clock. In
some churches there il also an after
noon service of the school, and rerhars
q Junior meeting. All night Christian
Endeavor service beside the regular
church service. II one service, in
lengthened out it pinches upon the
time of the next, and limits the time
for the dining hour, and the return to
the afternoon service. it will demand
unseemly haste sometime during the
day. Now, in Justice to those who
have a whole days work before them
it ia only proper that the church GER
vices should begin promptly and close
without unnecessary delay. Every.
thing should be made to conducs to
reasonable limit in the time of the
service Every word spoken TO weary
congregation Is wasted, il it is not
actually damaging. We may say that
Christian people have no business to
be sensitive with regard to time in
the church service, but we must accent
human nature as it is, with all its
cares, its limitations and its wishes,
And then it is far better to preach a
half hour TO listening and interested
audience than an hour or more to DO
impatient and restless one. 1t IL better
to havo full congregation which will
cheetfully attend short service than
1t is TO have small congregation
which Will submit usually under pro-
test) to a longer service. Some things
may be lawful that are mot expedient,
and the minister is wise who employs
the best expedients for the good Of the
greatest number. -"

BODY WAS FOUND.

New Castle, May 2.-While John Steele
and his son were coming south along the
river shore above this city Inst night, they
discovered near the Narrow Dyke dark
painted batteau and going to the side saw
lying therein the body of man. They
spoke to him. but he failed to reply and
they at once realized that the man was
dead. The body was in the boat and the
head hung over the side, with the feer en-
tangled In the net. This probably saved
him from falling headlong into the waters
OF the Delaware. On the body there were
no nlgns of foul play. Immediately after
finding the body the boat was made fast
and Sheriff Mcdaniel notified and the boat
with the corpse was towed to Delaware street
wharf, where number of fishermen viewed
the body and the boat, but none of them
could identify either.
The net in the boat was not a new one
and the superstition is that the man was a
resident OF Wilmington and mud gone out
on the river to spend the evening in catch
ing a few fish and had expired after taking
on his net, as it was wet ana there were
three fish In the boat. The coat. which had
ppeen worn, was'on the bow of the boat and
he wore fishermen's oil skins over his
trousers. In his trousers pocket WINS n
pocketbook containing SILL, without any
papers that would throw light on whom tn :.
man might be. Deceased was tbout five
leet STA inches tall and would weigh about
40 pounds. He was about As years OF age,
lie had heavy brown inonstache, mixed
with gray, and his brown hair was also
mixed with gray. The body was placed in
the care of Corouur's Physician Chandler
who removed it to the morgue in Whining.

HBRRISON LAID TO REST.

Remains of the General Laid Beside
Those of His First Wife.
Indianapolis, March 19.-On the
western slope of grassy knoll, near
the graves of Thomas A. Hendricks
and William III. English, each of whom
had stood almost in the sunlight of the
high office which he was destined to
fill, Benjamin Harrison, twenty-third
president of the United States, was
buried in Crown Hill cemetery by the
side of his former wife.
Beside the sepulcher were the mem
bers of the sOrrowstricken family,
President Mckinley and other distin-
guished mourners, while ranged
around them in a square, the formation
Of which was preserved by ropes
stretched fifty feet from the grave,
were $1,000 citizens, who, with barred
heads, viewed the last rites due the
man who had been the nations chief.
The weather, like that of Saturday,
was indispensable, bright sunlight
the warm breath of spring in every
breeze, and yet in the air a touch of
winter that brought the blood to the
cheek and a sparkle to the eye. The

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man OF
New York, explains some very interest.
ing facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes whe use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent better than other cements for which
similar claims are made, but great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one of the elements of his cement costs
So. rs pound, and another costs 1856 a
gallon, while large share of the so call
ed cements and liquid glue upon the
market are rothing more than sixteen
cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and, in some cases. altered slightly
in color and odor by the addition of
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty five cents bottle, and when
dealer tries to sell a substitute you can
depend upon it that his only object is to
make larger profits.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement. Ana Ibis Is uOuOIy True III
view of the fact that each dealer gets his
share of the benefit Of Mr.. Majors ad-
vertising, which now amounts to over
$1,000 month throughout the country.
