ACTIONS vs.. WORDS.

In the recent terrible mine dis
aster in Tennessee in which so
many scores of human beings lost
their lives, some pathetic Incl
dents are related. After the ex-
plosion had taken place many
men remained alive hours before
being sutfocated by the poisonous
gas. They were fully aware that
death was inevitable, and most of
them spent Their living moments
partly in writing letters to rela-
tives (Which were subsequently,
found) and partly, it is more
probable, in meking preparations
for eternity. A little boy who
described himself as an orphan
wrote a letter addressed to EVERY :
body" in which he admonished
the world to change its way of
living.
1t can be imagined that the
miners while awaiting death held
a revival meeting at which every
human being present was deep
and sincere penitent. The writer
believes that when death is known
to be near spiritual eyes are ope,.-
ed whether the subject be wasted
by long disease or in the full vigo.

WHAT THE FACTORIES DO.

The richest states in this Union
are the manufacturing states; the
richest cities are manufacturing
cities. Tie richest community is
not the one which produces the
most crude material suitable for
manufacture, but the one which
converts that material into some
useful article or articles for which
there is a demand. The South
produces annually about 100000
bales of cotton, worth in round
numbers about $300,0OO,O0O. A
bale of this cotton converted into
ordinary cotton goods should be
worth three times as much as the
raw lint. That would make the
cotton crop worth $900,OOO,0 900
instead of $500, 00O,OOO.-Wil-

HIS OWN SON.

a business man returning to his
home in Rochester, and hurrying
to his supper, noticed a group of
men gathered in evident excite
ment on the steep bank of the
tennessee. river, which flows
through the town. He stopped
long enough to see that they were
endeavorlng to rescue someone
who had fallen, but was tempted
to hurry on with the thought that
there were enough men there, and
that the incident was not one of
special concern to him.
Seeing, however, that the at
tempts at rescue were intellectual,
and that the very swift current
was fast bearing it's victim down
the stream, he dropped his valise,
stripped off his coat, plunged into
the water, and rescued-his own
son.
This story, recently told in the
daily papers, teaches it's obvious
lesson. The parable of the Good
Samaritan does not need an added
chapter, affirming that the man
who had fallen among thieves
proved to be the brother of him
who dressed his wounds, yet it has
often happened that he who turned
aside to help a stranger has
brought a blessing to his own fire.

A MELANGE OF
LIVE TOPICS
Penned for Journal Readers
by a Local Scribe.
AN ANSWER.

The last issue of the Journal
quotes from another newspaper
which expresses the opinion that
Sodom and Gomorrah were over
whelmed by a volcanic eruption
like that which recently over
wheimed the city of St. Pierre on
the island of Martinique. The
Journal asks that if this is true
what explanation can be offered
for the turning of Lots wife into
a pillar of salt.
Sir John Dawson, one of the
most noted living scientists, and
another distinguished scientist
whose name is not just now re-
membered both declare that there
ample evidences to show that seis-
mic disturbances took place on
the spot where these cities are
known to have stood according to
the testimony of ancient writer's,
that is where the Dead Sea now
lies or III its vicinity. The c0un-
try around the Dead Sea is of sa-
line formation. The sea itself is
so strongly impregnated with salt
its water as consequence being
very dense, that it is impossible
for an animal body to sink in it,
the body floating like cork upon
the surface of the saa. The same
conditions are true of the country
around, and the waters of the
Great Salt Lake in Utah as the
writer knows from his own per-
sonal observation. Vast quanti-
ties of salt are mined for CONNER
clal purposes at Salt Lake.
Shortly after the eruption of
lava at Saint Pierre, Mont Pelee
emitted vast quantities of mud
which was of the same nature as
the mud found in the city. The
same phenomena doubtless oc-
Cured at Sodom and Gomorrah.
After the lava had become ex-
hausted and the disturbance still
continuing the vast subterranean
deposits Of salt were attacked and
thrown out.
The expression "looked back"
speaking of Lots wife when her
dreadful fate overlook her is sim
ply a Biblical archaism which
means to return, or perhaps loiter.
Thus the Bible speaks of one put
ting his hand to the pillow and
looking back which implies that
after beginning his work the plow-
man loitered, or left it and re-
turned to idleness. Gods COM
mand to Lot not to loiter or re-
turn was a wise one for had the
latter done so he would have been
caught in the cataclysm and lost
which fate actually befell his wife.
In standing still or going nearer
to see the awful sight this woman
was overwhelmed by a descending
cloud of salt which was thrown
into the air after an emission of
lava. The salt fell in mass and
formed an immense mound or
pillar over her. After the erup-
ton of the volcano the land on
which the city stood sunk and
possibly subterranean streams
filled the depression thus making
the Dead Sea.
While all of this was probably
accomplished by natural means
it was no less dlvinely appointed
visitation. God foresaw from the
beginning what would be the char
acter Of the people of Sodom and
Gomorrah, Notwithstanding the
overture of mercy held out to
them, which TO be just He was
obliged to offer. Knowing that
they would reject His overtures, a
volcano was placed among them
in order to bring about their pun
ishment.

PoPE'S HEALTH VERY GOOD.

\ dispatch from Rome yesterday saws:
The pope is in such good health that Ir

the custom. In order to give the pontifr
strength for a fatiguing ceremony such as
the great name day reception of TODAY. DIR.

however. upon limiting the number of
guests to 200 instead of the usual 800 The
efforts to obtain Invitations to the name day
reception were so persistent and came from
such high quarters that the pontin, hearing
of them, overruled his physicians advice
and had an additional hundred guests in
cluded
of felicitation received by the pontiff in
cluded communications from Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria and King Al
fonso of Spain. The communica ton from
the King of Spain was the first missive sent
to his godfather by King Alfonso since his
coronation.
The pope held the reception in his private
library. He showed no signs of fatigue and
spoke with almost every one present. He
appeared to be unusually animated and
recognized the Right Rev. Benjamin ]. Kei-
ley, bishop Of Savannah, Ga. who was the
only American present, immediat tely he per-
ceived him. The pope said to Bishop kei-
ley:
Il am glad to see you again before You
leave"
Bishop Kelley told representative of the
Associated Press that he was astonished at
the pontifs vitality and brightness of
mind.
Upon re-entering his private apartments
the pope said: 1T does not matter what
DR.. Lapponi says. / feel better after each
occasion of this kind"
The reception lasted for one hour. His
holiness talked about the collapse Of the
Campanile of St Marks at Venice and eN-
pressed wish to see the restoration of the
roof of the Lateran palace before he died
Among the kilograms OF congratulatfon
received by the pontiff was one of 20,OoJ

MUST UNITE AGAINST AMERICA
German Professor Out in Article as to
European States


A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says:
Baron Won Sartorious Won Waltershausen,
professor of political economy at Strass-
burg University, and one of the leading
German authorities on American subjects
will contribute a striking article to forth
coming number of the Zeitschrift Fur So
cialwissebschaft on the united states of
central Europe. The writer will argue
that the central European states will soon
er or later be compelled to erect common
tariff barrier against the aims of the United
States to economic ascendancy, or against
those of greater Britain, with greatly modi-
fled tariffs and perhaps free trade between
themselves.
Baron Won Waltershausen believes that
eventually complete political union be-
tween Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Bel
gium and Holland is probable, and that
this union will give these countries an i'm
pregnable economic position. The baron
will urge also that great states like the
United States and Russia possess recuper-
ative powers superior to those of the iso-
lated and small countries Of western Eu-
rope.
