Dowie in Usual Strain.

In his Zion City address last Sun.
day afternoon Dowie, as usual
harped upon his alleged divine pow
er. Said he:
ut matters not what people say OF
me, but it does aud will matter what
say Of them at the day OF judg-
rent. A mans power in heaven is to
be measured by his work on earth
and as mine Ia one of the greatest
my word at the Judgment day will
be worth something. 1t will cost
most what | recommend"
Dowie continued along this strain
and urged his people to realize that
the members of other churches IL
they expect to be saved must go into
Zion.
Much Of Dowie's sermon was Civ

on Saturday the first wireless tele-
gram ever sent to Zion. 1t was sent
by Elder Daniel Bryant, who left

ZENo M. HOST, insurance commits
sioner for thiss state, has handed down
a decision In the matter OF the com
plant Of l.. A Brunckhorst vs.. the
Equitable Life Assurance Society of
the United States, which If sustained
by the courts, will mean the pay
ment OF something like $l5000,000 to
policyholders in this state. The COM
pany is bitterly opposing Mr.. Host
Ia his efforts to have the laws OF the
state pertaining to insurance en-
forced, knowing full we'll that it not
only means the payment Of II large
sum in this state, butthat other states
will fall In line and make the insur-
ance companies distribute the re-
serve fund among policyholders at
fixed intervals, instead of being
boarded by the officials, as is the
case now in many instances.

A Sixth avenue groccryman's boy APP
peared on the curb with a rat trap In
his hand. Twenty pedestrians stopped
ut once and three dogs barked and
leaped at the prisoner.
Get out in the streetr shouted
voice.

boy.
Say, bub," interposed fat man
with cane as he pushed his way into
the crowd, have you had any expert
ence with rats? There's only one way
to handle 'em. Let me take the trap"
With bad grace the boy surrendered
1t, and while some one held the fat
mans cane he held the trap high over
the street. When the spring door was
opened six or seven dogs were waiting,
and the rat didn't like the looks of
things. He sprang from the door, twist
ed to the top of the trap and then
jumped to the fat mans shoulder.
The crowd noisily fell back. The fat
man yelled. The dogs butted in One
dog got the rat and four dogs got the
fat mans legs. When that gentleman
arose, his silk hat ruined, he demanded
his cane. The holder had disappeared.
"Rats!' shouted the crowd
And the fat man steamed fussily
down the avenue.-New York Press.

Tho Right Standard.

Ex-Governor Hoard in Jefferson County Union
In everything there is right and
n wrong way ufdoing. the wrong
way usually proceeds first, from Il
false notion or standard in our minds.
Go where we will, look at men in all
their relations, whether in business.
farming, politics, or religion. aud we
will see that the man VINO does
thing, we'll. carries with him in bis
mind. n clear. clean, exact idea or
standard, of how the thing should be
done. Then in addition, we will find
that he has large endowment of
force, or executive ability, and he
delights ia working up To the stand
ard.
But first Of all every man must
have the right idea of things, before
he can do things rightly.
What we need the most just now
ia politics aud matters Of govern
ment from the township up through
the state TO the nation, is an idea or
standard of honesty and public vir-
tue in the voter. 1t is because the
common man has lowered his stand
ard Of official honesty; because he
has been willing to excuse political
dishonesty in bis party leaders, If II
only helped "our side to win," that
NnnI.I with rnEnu II u
in officials all over the land. The
American voter must begin to under
stand that loose tritiing ideas Of party
honesty will produce the same ideas
in government. He must understand
that official dishonesty is first brought
about by party dishonesty; trickery,
cheating, bribery, and all the long
train of evils that now atflict the
country, are caused by n political
politician a chance to gain in secur-
lug Il nomination, by cheating in the
caucus, and he viii cheat. He is af-
ter success. Al official rascality has
been made by political rascality.
The source OF all government Is the
party, and all government dishonesty
can be traced TO the party source. II
we have government we must have
parties. It ought to be the highest
aim of the voter 60 keep his party
honest. Hence the necessity Of every
man having standard Of political
honesty to guide and hold him in the
exercise Of his political duties.

There is 2 charming story told OF the
great French painter Corot Being
hospitable he frequently assembled his
friends 10 dinner, and dish of had

hated, invariably followed the soup

Thoughtful Men and the Church.

The complaint is general that
intelligent and thoughtful men do
not support the church as they once
did. Not that there is any failure of
material support With their money
such men were never more generous
than now. But not Sc large proper

90 East, Young N an.

Years ago, when Horace Greeley
said, go west, young man. the ad-
vice was timely aud from all indi-
cations was followed out closely by
the hustling young element of the
country. Now comes Editor Laugh
lin of the Hollandale Review, after
his trip through the New England
states, with the advice, 500 east,
young man" He reports as follows:
We haev visited portions ofNermont,
New Hampshire aud Massachus-
sets. the object of our trip being to
see the cheap farms Of which we
read and to learn what we could of
the agricultural possibilities of the
country. We had heard so much
about abandoned farms" of New
England that we were curious to
know the real causes of their deser-
ton, and we believe we found the
correct solution of the problem,
which i as follows: Natural condi.
tions (water power, etc1 have made
these states manufacturing states,
the country being thickly dotted
with cities and towns built up by the
various factories. These, with their
ready employment and ready money,
and the excitement of city life. have
| attracted the young people away
from the farms, leaving only the old
ones to get along as best they can,
! Help cannot be procured unless one
lives near to town, and the result is
! that farms must be either sold or de-
serted. These conditions have lower
ed prices until farms, many of them
as smooth as the farms of Moscow
can be bought for ono-fourth the
value of the buildings.
Generally speaking, the country is
rugged--hills and valleys-but the
soil in most localities is naturally
strong and the roads are good. The
stone is mainly slate and granite and
in some places there is SO much Of it
J that the land is valueless except for
| timber. The timber is white and red
oak, beech, hard and soft maple yell
low and white birch, Eastwood, chest
nut, elm, pine, hemlock and spruce.
The principal crops are bay, potatoes,
corn and fruit, Hay yields from ~
to tons per acre and sells for Sl5 n
! ton, potatoes ere not considered a
I crop unless 1hey yield at least 300
bushels per acre, and this year they
are selling for SOC, they raise 80 to 80
bushels of corn to the acre and it is
worth SOC, apples were bringing from
$3.50 to , 25 per barrel, and eggs were
scarce at 3Se dozen.
