LOOKS LIKE A CAGE.
Pulpit Used by Whitefield in His
Travels from Home.
Famous Relic Is Now Preserved in
New York Citx-Its Auth nlficity
Established by Indispu-
table Evidence.

Visitors at the rooms OF the Amefl-
can Tract society in Nassau street,
New York, lately have been confront
ed by queer sort of wooden cage on
stilt-like legs. Those who looked twice
saw tackled on it this sign: George
Whitefeld's Pulpit"
This pulpit, says the New York Sun,
is one of the most highly priced rel
les of the American Tract society.
For years it has not been put on any
thing like public view, but it has been
kept none the less carefully on that
account.
The frame of the pulpit is about six
feet high, with the floor of the pulpit
about three feet from the ground. The
wood is said to be black walnut, but
age and successive coats of paint, stain
and varnish have done much to hide its
identity.
The most striking feature of the pull
pit is the number of hasps, hooks and
hinges which bind it's frame. Those
who have charge of the relic are quick
to call attention to this fact and to
offer the explanation that the pulpit
is of the folding variety. 1t was con-
structed in that way so that it could
easily be carried in a wagon or even
by strong man.
The identity of the pulpit as White
fields is not questioned by those who
now have it, although they have no
available data concerning its move
ments after Whitefield died in 1770.
Rev. DR.. Charles S. Robinson, the ia
nous hymn writer, who died only a
few years ago, said that it was ''well
authenticated as Whitefeld's travel
ing pulpit-that which he carried with
him and from which he was wont to adj
dress the thousands that focked to
hear his voice"
Whitefeld's preaching in England as
an evangelist, particularly after his

SULTAN OF MOROCCO.
{France and Spain Contemplate Division of
His Empire.)

with Great Britain and the abandon
ment of the traditional French policy
in Egypt will result from this great
deal for the possession of Morocco, as
to the success of which NJ. Delcasse
is said to feel assured.
Having just arrived from Morocco,
NJ. Hess declares, in further support
of the foregoing statements, that he
has positive and personal knowledge
that the Spaniards are instigating
among the tribes of the Riff constant
agitation against the sultan, and sup
ply them with arms. On the other
hand, the exploitation of agricultural
products is forbidden by the Melilla,
and in this way the Berber popula
is prevented from settling down to
peaceable occupations. NJ. Hess was
refused by his own government au-
thorization to purchase cereals on the
Kiss shore and embark them at Port
Say for Algeria and abroad.
In conclusion NJ Hess expresses the
opinion that, commercially speaking,
the position of France with respect to
Morocco is all that can be desired, and
that the pacific conquest of the mar
kets of Morocco by France is perfectly
feasible. The true policy, he says,
would be to break with the Franco
Spanish agreement, and to work on the
development of economic relations
between Morocco and Algeria.

After Relics.

A searching party, with Oliver Gil
hos at its head, is to be sent out by
Governor Van SAINT in quest of the old
Red river cart, carioles, robes, whips,
harness, etc, which went to make up
the collection of curios in Minnesota's
exhibit at the cotton centennial expo
sition at New Orleans in 1884. The
state historical society will provide
a permanent repository Tor the relics
when they are found. All trace of
these relics has been lost since they
were last exhibited at the state fair
in 1885. All communications bearing
on this subject should be addressed
to Mr.. Gibbs, who represented Min
nesota at the Louisiana exposition, at
80 Spruce place, Minneapolis, care of
w. II. Cobban.

premature. 1t is customary in all such
cases to consult the foreign govern
ment before an appointment is made,
and this, unfortunately, was omitted
in regard to Mr.. Barrett. The Japan
csc minister did not, of course, formu-
late any charges, and according to
usage he was neither expected nor re-
quired to.
There are peculiar relations between
Japan and Siam. 1t is said that Mr..
Barrett, while minister 70 Siam, trod
on the toes of the japanese govern
ment in some way, and later on, in a
lecture or interview in this country,
made some references to the empire
of Japan which left sore spot over
there.
John Barrett, now serving as COM
missioner general to Asia and Aus
| tralia for the ST. Louis exposition, is
eminent as a writer and lecturer upon
eastern questions. Prior to his APP
pointment by President Cleveland in
1894 as United States minister to Siam
he had made a special study of the
possibilities of trade with the orient,
and it was in recognition of this work
that he was Endorsed by both parties in
Oregon, Washington and California
for a high place in the Asiatic diplo-
matte service.
During his term of office he travelled
extensively in China, Japan, Korea, ST.
IBERIA, Java and the Philippines, study
ing commercial opportunities for the
United States and embodying the re-
suits of his Investigations in official
reports, which have always been re-
garded as of great value.
He is a native of Vermont and grad
uate of Dartmouth college. He is SO
years old.

Senator Hanna has interested him

known as 'Hell-Roaring jake who
was summarily retired by the pres
ident on account of his "'bill-and-burn"
order in the Philippines, and in all
probability will introduce at this ses-
sion bill to restore him to the army.
All of the brgadier generalships have
been filled, and Mr.. Hanna's plan is to

a new one for the sake of restoring
Gen. Smith.

A Mistaken Jump.

George Burke, a fireman on the
Hastings & Dakota division of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul rail-
road, jumped from his engine while
it was going full speed by junction
near Pennington, Mimi, between the
main line and the Iowa q Minnesota
division and the Hastings line, and
sustained injuries which may prove
fatal.
When the train, which was an extra
freight, was nearing the junction,
Burke thought he saw some object
ahead, and fearing a collision, jumped
for his life. Engineer F. E. White,
on seeing his fireman jump, i'm
mediately stopped the train and the
crew went back and found Burke
lying unconscious beside the track.
Upon examination they round that he
had sustained a fracture of the skull.

japanese minister, Mr.. Takahira,
called at the state department the 9TH

japanese government had instructed
him to say that it would prefer not to

out if, under all the circumstances, Mr..
Roosevelt desires to keep Gen. Smith in
the army. He wishes it understood
that he does not intend to precipitate
any contest with the president and will
only move in Gen. Smiths behalf be-
cause he thinks an injustice has been
done and because large number of
army officers support him in this view.
\ Senator Hanna will confer with Gen.
Chaffee in Cleveland within a few days
in regard to the case and will be guild
ed largely by his opinion. Inasmuch as
the general, since his return from the
Philippines, has expressed the opinion
that Gen. Smiths campaign in Samar
was no more severe than the circum-
stances warranted, it is altogether
probable that he will urge Senator
Hanna to move for reinstatement.
Gen. Smith has already said that his
orders from Gen. Chaffee were even
more vigorous than he himself is cred
lied with giving, and it is known that
+ the two officers stand together on the
case.
Senator Hanna will not introduce his
bill until he has become convinced that
q majority of his republican colleagues
will support the measure.

WASHINGTON. March 90. 1906. Repub-
lieans of the House of Representatives
are not much disturbed by the charges
of Captain Christmas concerning the pur-
chase of the Danish West Indies. They
look, or profess to look. upon the matter
as a joke. Democrats of the House do not

NJ. Gardner. of New Jersey, chairman
of the House Committee on Labor, thinks
he must be the man. The purchase Of the
Danish West Indies has been hia hobby
for years. During the Spanish-AmeIican
War he called on the Senator's from his
State, and suggested the advisaiblity Of
buying the islands. At their sugg sssion
he introduced a RESTITUTION on the subject
with a number of whereases- authorizing
the expenditure of s5.00o.0a0 for the pur-
pose.

All arrangements have been completes
for the gala Easter celebration OF the
Tiger Club at Odd Fellows Hail, tomor-
row, Sunday, evening. and the indications
point to a large attendance.
As usual at the social functions of the
club, all the arrangements will be as
nearly perfect as it is possible to make
them. Special attention has been given
to the seating facilities. extra chairs be
ing provided in anticipation Of a large au-
dience One point that has received cars-
ful consideration in the arranging of the
vaudeville portion of the programme, is
the character of the various numbers,
and the reputation of the club, is back of
the guarantee that there will be nothing
on the programme that anyone can oo-
ject to.
Another matter that has received a.
tention IS the stage management. which
will be under the direction OF a gentleman
of many years experience in The enter
tainment business, and as the talent is al
professional, there will be none of those
tiresome intermissions that so frequently
occur at similar affairs. It is safe 10 say
that the programme will be equal, if no1
