a strong preacher and a clear and

a strong preacher and a clear ane
logical reasoner.
Religion is the universal pheno
menon of humanity, said the
preacher. The necessity of a right
conception of it is because the more
degraded and savage men are, one
! of the worst elements of their saw
agery is their wrong conception of
religion. AS a phenomenon re-
ligion is either natural or revealed,
The religion of nature appealing
only to the senses must necessarily
be sensual. The religion Of reve-
l~ation, appealing to the spirit of
man must necessarily be spiritual.
Neither is exempt from supersti-
ton, that is, misdirection rather
than absence or excess Of religious
sentiment. 1t were better to have
no opi~ion of God at all than such
an Option as is unworthy of Him
the one is unbelief, the other con-
tempt. An eternal law of honor
obliges Christianity to look fear
lessly and carefully into every prob
lem which is properly presented to
her.
The sermon was attentively heard
by the large congregation present.
Sermon to Red Men.
Sunday afternoon Rev. w. J.
Snyder, of Clifton, by special re-
quest preached in the opera house
to the Red men of the city.
The opera house was filled on
this occasion, and the speaker re-
ceived the very best of attention
throughout his discourse.
The members of Bergell Tribe,
No. "a, and Cateechee Council,
No. 3, assembled at their hall and
proceeded in a body, about two hun
dred strong, 70 the opera house.
The two bodies made a fine appear
ance in their handsome regalias.
The speaker was introduced in a
few we'll chosen words by the Mayor
of the city, MI. Otto Klettner, who
is a member of both orders:
Mr.. Snyder preached a fine ser
mon on the principles of the order,
for his subject, Freedom,
and Charity" which
deeply impressed the members and
gave them a higher conception of
the beautiful teachings and under
lying principles of the order to
they belong, and it gave
those who have never had the
pleasure of meeting around the
council FIRE an idea of what Red
manism means, and doubtless did
much good for the order.
A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
AS soon as the tribe and council
had returned to their hall, Sachem
Van Smith called the two bodies to
order and after extending thanks to
Rev. Snyder, in behalf of the bodies
for his most excellent sermon, in a
most appropriate manner, on be-
half of Cateechee Council Poca-
hontas, presented Rev. MI. Snyder
with a beautiful gold Red Mems
pin, representing an
Indian tomahawk. Rev. Snyder re-
sponded in a touching manner,
showing his high appreciation of
the beautiful token of esteem shown
The tribes were then dismissed

Another OF the most popular men on

his society and that he felt not the slightest

EXPLORER IN A SANITARIUM.
Discoveries OF Mr. Christian Who Is Now

Mr.. Frederic W. Christian, who arrived
here from England the other day and was
taken to a Long Island sanitarium. has
done notable work as an explorer. He was
on his way to the Pacific islands to resume
In the Iadrones such researches as he has

the of1os. He got inside when he heard
the ONCE call on the sounder, and after
taking the message he asked II the other
operator had been calling long and got the
answer that he had called five or six times
THAT meant that Stumpy understood
the call e: D. but Sim wasn't convinced
OF IL until he told the operator TO call him
up again In five minutes and shut Stumpy
in the Office. Then he waited until the call
came and watched Stumpy through the
ticket window The snake got excited as
soon as C. j. sounded and tried TO get
out Of the Office.
when the call had sounded half dozen
times II slid TO the floor and crawled through
the rathole out under the platform and
began hunting for Sim, who went out the
back way and met Stumpy around the
corner Of the building. Stumpy ketched him
by the trousers and got him started to'rds
the Office. scooting ahead In excitement.
After that he was easy In his mind about
calls when Stumpy was in the Office on
duty. but II never occurred to him to teach
the snake to open circuit and give n wait
call until he took another operator into
his confidence and got him to help him. IL
was no time at all before Stumpy learned
to pound brass, but I'll cut that all out.
-The snakes dead now and can't afford
TO get a bad reputation on his account
but at the risk of it, III just tell you how Sim
found out why they call them snakes adders.
He was figuring up an express report one
day with the snake In his sleeve and had
just put down a footing when the snake
reached out and took the pen out Of his
hand and pointed at the last figure.
"Sim was too set back TO understand what
Stunpv was up TO until the snake stretched
out a little further. ran the pen down over
the figures rapidly like a bank clerk and
while Sim was calculating after him came
TO a stop at the bottom Of the row.
Then he see that Stumpy had caught him
In a mistak and he corrected it That
wasn't all, however, for when Sim made a
mistake on purpose right aftcrward, I,
Stumpy pinched his thumb until he dropped
the pen and then wrote down the figure
himself
Just before cold weather come on this
fall. Sim had Stumpy in training for black
board work in dime museum and expected
TO make a fortune out Of him. He had a
combined blackboard and perch for the
snake and had him working on three rows
Of figures with chalk school crayons.
Stumpy would put down three rows Of fig
ures, nine high and add 'em up on hand
starting in the thousand row TO put down
the result and doing il all in ten seconds,
That's the kind Of an adder he was.

man or an expert rigger must begin his
experience with two years spent before the
mast at sea. In many long. rough voyages
the apprentice learns TO be perfectly at
home in any part OF the ships rigging ana
In any weather.
From the ship the apprentice IL grad
uated In time to the drawing hoard. where
several years must be spent before he can
be trusted with the more difficult prob
lens OF his trade. Then comes finishing
post st-graduate course in the shipyards.
To a landsman the TRANSFORMATION Of a
ship in the hands OF gang OF expert rig
gers Is almost like magic The riggers
first attack the sails and the ropes which
show any signs Of weakness. The tattered
canvas is cut and torn from its place and
falls TO the deck below. The spars and the
vast network of rigging wherein any weak
ness Is discovered go the same way.
Within a few hours at most the towering
masts have been laid bare. IL the work
is begun at night, which is usual, by the
time This rigging has been removed morning
has dawned and new gang OF men take
the place Of the night shift The masts
stand entirely stripped, except for the
shrouds and backstays.
Heavy ropes are nov. spliced securely
about the mast and carried TO the several
derricks. Al a signal the shrouds are
severed and the stepping OF the mast In
the hold Of the ship is knocked apart. The
powerful derricks are set in mot ion and
clear of the deck and let fall alongside with
a great splash.
The new stick II next quickly rugged to
the derricks and swung easily into place.
II is scarcely secured before the riggers
again swarm aloft. carrying fresh ropes
and sails, which are quickly spliced and
knotted about the stout sticks, and in a
wonderfully short time the rehabilitated
craft II fit for sea service again.
Despite the very general use OF steam,
the trade Of ship rigging has remained
extremely profitable. OF late years there
has been an important revival Of the sailing
vessel in the carrying trade. The iron
tramp steamship Is being replaced by the
many-masted steel schooners.
These vessels are the clipper ships OF
these days The cost and maintenance
of the sailing craft are so much less than
that Of steamships; and by the skilful use
of currents and trade winds they make
such good time that they have been found
TO pay enormous profits.
The Standard Oil Company, which has
the reputation Of seeing somewhat further
than it's nose has recently abandoned it's
steam tank ships in its Chinese and Asiatic
service and has replaced them with sailing
craft Meanwhile the ship rigger Is looking
forward 20 the growth Of our merchant
marine with perfect confidence.

The first speech of Congressman Fos-
ter in the House was success mas
much as it was literally applauded by
a large attendance of the House and
followed by the result it favored-the
passing of the rural free delivery bill
with the proviso for letting the routes
by contract eliminated. During his
argument, Mr.. Foster spoke of the
presidents recent order forbidding
government employees to take action to
secure increase of compensation, and
said in regard to it:
| wish to say to the members of this
house that the rural letter carriers and
all the other citizens of my district,
so long as | remain their representa-
tive, no matter what orders may be
issued from the executive mansion,
have the full right and full liberty to
address me, either in person or by let
ter, either individually or collectively,
upon any subject upon which they are
interested.
This to Theodore Roosevelt, lion
hunter. rough rider, reformer, fighter
censor of trusts and corporations and
of the sunny southern temperament;
and president of the United States
Mr.. roster surely adds courage to the
many other qualities of which his
state is so proud.
