Youths COMPANION,

The committee, numbering a hundred
prominent citizens, was laying plans for
the exposition. Most of the work was
.parcelcd out among subcommittee, but
certain important questions concerning
the policy of the enterprise came before
the whole body. One of these was under
discussion, and the committee was divided
in Its opinion.
It is not wholly a financial question, ,"
said Colonel Ainsworth; ut is a moral
question. We may lose money, but we
must keep our moral standard high"
Nottevery one present agreed with him,
and the advocates Of the other side were
many and strong. The colonel sat down
and wiped his forehead with handker-
chief which he held in his left hand. His
right hand was gone.
Just then another man with an emptv
sleeve rose, and In clear and strong words
supported the coloneIs resolution. eve
are public spirited men, said he. 1--WE
are Christian men, many Of US, and all
Of us ought to be. We must settle this
and every other question as In the sight
of God"
The colonel did not know his ally, but
went to him at the close Of the meeting,
and g. common friend, who was standing
by, introduced them. They shook hands.

Major Hemphill with his right

who had once been divided but who now
stood shoulder to shoulder, fail to have it's
weight with the committee.
eve are soldiers together in the army
OF the Lord, said the major, repeatedly
One day, after a strong argument on
the question Of the Sunday opening Of the
exposition, the two men went out arm in
arm, the right arm Of the one entwined
In the left arm of the other. When next
the committee met, the major came in
early and found the colonel already there
Colonel said he II stopped to buy a
pair Of gloves this morning, and I've got
one to spare.
| He handed over the left glove.
There was something in the act that
brought tears to the eyes Of those who
sat about.
"God bless you, old comrade!'' said the
colonel. We'll buy our gloves together
from this time forth!"
And so they did till one day not long
ago the major was mustered out, and the
colonel stood beside his grave.
| MY enemy once he said, but my
faithful friend and fellow soldier In the
army OF the Lord"

EXPLAINS ATTITUDE
Russian Minister of the Interior Dis
cusses the Now Malodorous
Affair at Kishinef.
He Indignantly and vehemently
Denies That the Government
Connived at the Massacre.
Now York Sun Special Service.


r st. Petersburg, June Ism. de Plehve,
the Russian minister Of the interior, who
has been accused Of conniving at the
Kishinef massacre, discussed the entire
Jewish problem from an official stand
point in an interview yesterday. He said
1.-THE Jewish question in this country Is
an historical legacy inherited from the
time Of the taking Of Poland. Out Of
100000 Jews In the world, from 4,000,-
900 to 100000 reside in Russia. I have
not the exact figures, for the reason that
Jews show: a particular desire to avoid
military service, and with that end in
view, invent ways Of evading thes census
which we have tried to take Of them.
1T has been suggested that the Rus
sian government has made but frivolous
investigations concerning the Kishinef
troubles. That is quite wrong. One of
the most trusted members sof the -crirni-
nal department, M Laponkhid,. was sent,
with instructions to make a minute exam
ination. He returned with full report.
He called the heads Of the Jewish asso-
citation before him and heard all the
charges they had to make.
1.-TWO hundred men who participated in
the riots have been arrested, and will in
a short time appear before the courts
upon charges Of assault, pillage and muir
der. They will be duly sentenced to longer
or shorter terms of penal servitude, &C.
cord1ng to the crimes they. have commit
ted. They are at present prisoners await
ing trial.
Governors Have Been Warned.
1T is difficult to get the police and SOL
diers to protect Jews in such times, bu:
consider it will be within the power
Of the governor to bring this about, and
since the Kishinef troubles, every gov
ernor has been warned that he will be
held personally responsible for all further
rioting. We have sent one Of our ablest
men to Kishinef, Prince Ourousoff''
Does your excellency disclaim the
statement that the sympathy Of the gov.
eminent was with the Disturbances? Il
has been said that you shut your eyes tt
what was going on
Il say such a statement is scandalous.'
De Plehve is quiet-mannered man, bu
he said this with emphasis and height
ened color. 1--WE deplore what happened
at Kishinef."

BLACK ROCK RELIGION.
l grow weary with the

too often offer me in the shape of elab-

so that in my sickness 1 doubt and
doubt, then go back to the commun-
ion In Block Rock and the days pre-
ceding it, and the fever and the weari-

strong. The simplicity and rugged
grandeur Of the faith, the humble graf
itude of the rough men 1 see about the
table and the calm radiance Of one
sanity face rest and recall me.
Not its most enthusiastic apologist
would call Black Rock religious COM
munity, but it possessed in a marked
degree that eminent Christian virtue
of tolerance. All creeds all shades Of
religious opinion, We're allowed, and it
was generally conceded that one was
as good as another. 1t is fair to say,
however. that Black Rocks catholicity
was negative rather than positive. The
only religion Objectionable was that in
sisted upon as a necessity. 1t never
occurred to any one to consider reli-
gion other than as respectable if not
ornamental addition to life in older
lands.
During the weeks following the max
ing Of the league, however, this mega
tive attitude toward things religious
gave place to one Of keen investigation
and criticism. The Indifference passed
away and with it in a large measure
the tolerance. Mr.. Craig was respon-
