servants were told to fill the water pots
with water. They did so. Then at His
bidding they drew out from those same
water pots such wine called forth the
special praise OF the governor OF the feast.
What the Lord does He does well. Never
was tasted at a marriage feast such wine
as that which had been so quickly changed
from water into wine at the word OF the
Lord Jesus.
What had the Lord proclaimed by thf
miracle, besides His sympathy with thos
whose need had called IL forth? He ha
proclaimed himself TO be the Lord of ma
ture. He had identified himself with the
God who year by year turns water into wine
by the genial influence or His rain and
sunshine. What Is done ordinarily through
slow processes He did I'm a moment, and so
doing, showed that He was the Orderer OF
natures processes. the One who gave to
nature its law. and could set them aside
whensoever He would. or could give TO it
new laws. That was the glory that He here
manifested at Cana
1t is an exceeding great glory. We re-
ceive SO constantly the blessings OF God
through nature, that we fail to appreciate
as we should both the power and the good
heSs VI 1ou ii eidu1ilS Us these DlcccluS5.
The mechanism OF nature works so smooth
ly that we are unconscious OF the power
OF his forces. We partake Of Gods good
ness so constantly that we come TO think OF
IL as something TO which we have a right.
We take IL a matter OF course and do
not realize how good 1t is, until the bless
ing is at the point OF falling The man
who is becoming blind realizes the blessing
of sight as he never knew IL when he had
perfect eyesight. We count too much OF the
value of our own toll. expended in the till
ing of the ground. and do not realize how
much God has been helping US all the while
until some year He withholds the rain, and
the grass will not grow In the fields, and
the sap will not flow through the vines.
So when Jesus proclaimed I'm this miracle
that He held all nature in His hand, and
was its Lord. IL was an exceeding great
glory that He manifested. No wonder that
His disciples believed on Him. Henceforth
they accepted Him, not upon that testimony
OF John which had caused some OF them 20
follow Him, but upon the testimony OF His
own works. These proclaimed Him mans
Lord and mans friend; mans Lord I'm His

which man is a part: mans friend IN the
tenderness OF His sympathy; In His quick
ness TO listen 10 the cry OF need, In His

JUDGE ORDERS NEGRO SHOT.
Incident Occurred in Court Room a.
Newcastle, Ky.

New Castle, KY. Jan. 1S.-The timely
action of Coroner Price Samuel and the
interference of a spectator at q trial
here Friday prevented a double tragedy
in the courtroom. Lewis Brown, negro,
was being tried for malicious shooting.
and was sitting with his lawyers while
L negress was giving some damaging
testimony against him. The negro
yelled, You're liar" and, grabbing
a heavy inkstand, leaped to his feet
and started for the woman.
His attorneys seized the negro, who
began to fight. He struggled from their
grasp and again started for the woman.
Judge Carroll. who was presiding over
the court, yelled:
Mr.. Sheriff, shoot that man down."
Sheriff Adams was not in the court
room, so George Kelly, the jailer. julled
his pistol and was about to execute the
judges order when the coroner leaped
at the negro and overpowered him, and
one of the spectators knocked the pistol
from the jailer's hand.
When quiet was restored the woman
continued her testimony and the negro
got five years in the penitentiary.

WOULD REDUCE ARMY.
Secretary Root Thinks $4,000 Men suf-
fieient for PHILIPPINES.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Secretary Root
has prepared plan for a gradual re-
duction of the military force in the
Philippines. He does not contemplate
any immediate reduction. but proper IS
to bring home additional regiments as
they can be spared by General Chaffee.
1t is Secretary Roots belief that the
force can Be reduced to about thirty
five thousand ment. including 5000 ma
tive troops, but the reduction to that
figure will not be made for several
months.
One problem confronting the war de-
partment at this time. in view Of the
proposed reduction, is where to quarter
the returning regiments. The present
indications are that the department will
be compelled to send some of the regi-
ments now in this country to the Phil
ippines to make room for the returning
troops There is a woeful lack of ac-
commodations.

clined sharply, but still remains about
90 cents a bushel above the price last
year. Exports in December were only
about per cent of the outgo in the

Atlantic ports sent out 1854 bushels,
against 1895. $3.50 year ago. Provisions
weakened slightly in sympathy with
grain, yet the higher level of prices In
December established new monthly
record of value of exports. The activity
occurred at the Coffee Exchange, where

Notes From Honolulu.

Honolulu. Jan. 4, via San Francisco
Jan. 1s.-The British sloop- of war Con-
don, long overdue from Victoria, has not
yet arrived at this port.
Active work has begun on the Kona
Kau railroad, which is to start from
about Kailua. on the Kona coast of Ha-
wall, and run across the western and
southern coast CT the island.
A formation that is called a new island
has been observed of late between Koko
Head and Diamond Head, on the south
ern coast of the island. 1t Is at the head
of the Niu stream, where debris has
waahed into the sea until the deposits
have piled up to the surface. The tides
running between separate the formation
from the land, but palm trees and others
washed down by the floods are taking
root and small isle is forming.
The leak in the ship Benjamin Sewall
has been located by divers. 1t will not
nccessitate the discharge of much of the
cargo. Her master expects to start again
for Freemantle within a few days.
The leak in the bark Hesper has also
been located and can be repaired.

Dun. Review.

New York. Jan 1s-R. G. Dun & Com
pany's Weekly Review today says:
Establishment OF prices continued
during the second week of January, and
the general average reached a much
lower point than prevailed when the
wear opened Manufactured products
were scarcely disturbed, but both sta
pies and securities suffered. Business
conditions are sound. liberal distribu-
ton and prompt payments being report
ed Cotton still fails to command
price proportional to the estimated
crop, and as a consequence the return
to growers is insufficient to sustain bus
mess at the rate established by the pre-
vious years most profitable ylelo.
TRANSPORTING interests are less behind
with deliveries, and railway earnings
for the first week in January show
gains of IA per cent over last years
phenomenal figures. Nothing has tran
spired to disturb the bright outlook In
the iron and steel industry. Deliveries
OF. fuel are less delayed and furnaces OPP
Grated fully, while mills receive materi-
al with a fair degree of promptness
Quotations are maintained firmly, espe-
cially for pig iron, which is in great
demand. Large contracts have been
placed for Bessemer at $3.50 on Pitts
burg delivery In June. Spot sales in
small quantities are much higher.
Structural material is taken almost
eagerly and more foreign bridge con-
tracts are reported. Billets can not be
had In sufficient bulk from domestic pro-
ducers, so that imports from Germany
&c, al
of copper are made at lie, which makes
a somewhat striking comparison with
the so per cent higher figures of few
weeks ago. Footwear producers have
at last made general advance of from
21a to sc. Wholesalers have not altered
the list Stocks of cotton goods are not
burdensome, and demand gradually ex-
pands with the advancing season, espe-
cially for fine grades. Heavy brown
goods move slowly both on home and
domestic orders. Wooden goods opened
lower than expected and purchasers
were retarded rather than stimulated
by the declines. Wooden and worsted
yarns tend upwards. Grains reacted
sharply from the high point and large
western operator was caught with more
than he could carry. Forced liquidation
of this long account facilitated the work
OF manipulators for decline Another
unsa satisfactory feature was the recent
falling off in foreign demand, official
figures for December showing smaller
exports of wheat than for any month of
the calendar year, altho for six months
OF the crop year there still appears a
gain OF about 5O,o000o bushels over the
corresponding months OF 1900. This

RATHHoNE HEARING ENDED.
Nicely Gives an Explanation Of Sale Of
Surchareed Stamps.

Havana, Jan. 1S.-The examination
of ex-Director of Posts Rathbone, In
the trial of the postoffice cases, was
ended late yesterday Senior Mach
ado of counsel for Reeves, one of the
witness regarding the position OF
Reeves before July !. 1899, when he
was made assistant auditor. The OBJ
ject of his questions was to show that
Rathbone was responsible for any de-
fects in the organization of the bureau
accounts Senior Zayas, representing
Nicely. asked that letter written by
Rathbone to Postmaster General Smith
on May 3, 1899, be read. The letter
explained that Nicely had gone on sick
leave and the auditors were complain
ing that some of his books were mis-
sing Rathbone added that he had tel
egraphed for Nicely to return.
Rathbone was a self-possessed wit
ness, but often evaded questions by
entering upon long congratulations. He
said he did not remember many
things.
Nicely was called after Rathbone.
and was examined by the fiscal. He
gave the details of his appointment
and furnished an explanation of the
sale of surcharged stamps. He ad-
mitted that he had ordered Moya to
sell $1,000 worth of these stamps, but
regarding the sales on April "a, rs, and
26, 1900, he said that Rich had charge
of the stamps then. He added that
Lawshe had established the precedent
that the official accounts of the office
should be kept by the auditors de-
partment. All the witness had to do
was to see that his accounts balanced
with the auditors and to give an ac-
count of the total number of stamps
received. The details did not matter.
He was not obliged to show how he
had disposed of stamps. He explained
the double entry of a $4,000 credit in
the postoffice accounts, which, he said,
was due to Marshall. his bookkeeper.
He did not know IL any one was to
blame.
Regarding the sale of copper coins
Nelly said these were deposited In the
bank for safekeeping, and were sold In
lots by the bank. His account was
credited with the lump sum obtained.
No vouchers for the sales were pre-
sented. The witness admitted that he
was formerly connected with the Nicely
Printing Company. of Muncie, Ind,
but said had sold out his interest be-
fore he came to Cuba. He had held
mortgage of $4,000 on the plant, but
had transferred 1t to firm In Chi
cago against his own bills. He denied
that he had received $4,000 for key
less lock and that he had given Reeves
$4,000 before he (Neely) went to the
United States. He spent the day be-
fore he went away with Rich and
Newman.
Senior Zayas asked that Newman be
called as witness. and the Judge al
lowed the request. The fiscal objected
on the ground that Newman was not
on the list of witnesses.
