The Teachers Lantern.

The incident of Apollos Is a little nar- rative in parenthesis. Though brief, it is exceedingly suggestive.
 Apollos is a type of the popular teacher or preacher who, though himself not ad- equately instructed, has a subtle enthusi- asm which gains him an auditory where the scholar. accurate but cold. fails. Yet the superiority of Apollos's enthusiasm Is evinced by It's quality of\teachableness.
 The utility of an educated ministry is exemplifled in Apollos. He is the justi- flcation of the college and seminary of today. Only enthusiasm should not be schooled out of men George Eliot filed her protest against the wearing of people out (by processes of education) on the way to great ideas.
 The frank and open declaration of what one believes will lead to correction If one is in error.
 The criticism of the lowly is never to be despised. and often is of priceless value.
 Thus early in the history of the church the lay worker, in the person of Aquila and Priscilla. comes to the fore
 The sanctifed strategic instinct of St. Paul Is evinced in his approach to the coterie of Johns disciples in Ephesus.
 The pain and loss of stopping with the forerunner, and not going on the way he points, is here illustrated. Those who stopped with John missed Jesus.
 This paragraph Is remarkable in that 1t contains the first record of letter con- demnatory of a Christian minister sent from one Church to another. Again, 1t contains the last mention. in the New Tes- lament, of John Baptist. It is a gauge of the wideness of his influence that in this Helehic province, and thirty years after his martyrdom, this group of his disciples appears
 Here we are taught lesson we stand In constant need of, viz: that persons of delayed development, and even errorists. are not to be despised. but, on the con- trary. are to be sought out and helped.

The ices were served in pasteboard block houses of the Revolu- tionary style.
 Frederick Samuel Tallmadge, Presi- dent of the Society, presided. The first speaker was the Rev. Thomas Edward Green, who, speaking of the high charac- ter of Washington, said that if he were with us today he would preach the high principles of unselfishness. Looking the worldngman in the face, he would tell him, said pr. Green, that in 8 land of liberty he had no right to say that other men must work as it pleases him, but that all men may work as they choose.
 Hamilton Wright Mabie spoke to the toast, Then and Now" He was follow ed by Colonel George E. Pomeroy, who responded to the tunst, "Washington's h. f1uence in the Founding of Great State" The Society's awards of gold. silver and bronze medals for the best essays writ ten by students in the State Colleges and High Schools were announced last night as follows:

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
SPRINGLIKE WEATHER EN-
 LARGES JoBBLNG TRADE.
Highest Price for Raw Cotton in Three Years-Firmer Tone in Pig Iron at Home and
 Abroad.

New York, Feb. 27.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say: Springlike weather condi- tions have enlarged the jobbing demand for goods at leading markets and favored expansion in retail trade. Heavy rains in the Southwest have quieted trade in that section. Perhaps the most notable feature of the weeks developments is the strength of the price situation.
 Notable in prices of primary staples are firmer tone in pig iron at home and abroad, advances in prices of iron and steel bars, wire and nails, the highest price paid for raw cotton in three years a continuance in the advance of copper and a renewal of the advance in tin. With these exceptions other staples have tended to hold all their old strength. Re- ports from the cotton goods markets are all favorable. Wood is steady. Coke, coal, freights and wages have all advanced and as expected, iron ore has joined these constituents of iron and steel manufac- ture with an advance of 9 to 75 per cent per ton.

THE POPE'S WEALTH.
His Private Fortune. Apart From the PaDaI
Treasures, VIII Exceed SS. 900, 900

II has been underst God that Leo XIII has
wiIled his privat fortune not TO his relatives,
but "a a fund for his successor, No one
but the Papal Secretary Of Steta, Cardinal
Rampolla, and the Papal Treasurer, Cardinal
Mocenni knows the amount Of this fortune,
but it is expected to exceed S5OO0.0O0. II
is on deposit in the Bank of England. The
Pope leaves three nephews and host Of
lesser relatives. but he has kept a pledge.
made when he was elected Pontiff. that
he would not Use his power to enrich or
advance them, and ii is not expected that
they will get much at his death.
His fortune is separate and distinct en-
tirely from the treasure and income Of the
Papacy. He could, if he wished. regard
all this as his own, hut he has preferred
to regard as his only such money as comes
to him through private gifts. But of the
Papal revenues, such az the income from
real estate and from bonded investments,
as well as Peters pence, he has paid the
million dollars necessary TO maintain the
Papal court and diplomatic representativ es
the EXPENSES of Church admin stration
has spent million year in charity, and
vet, by wise administ ration, has been able
20 create contingent fund OF s30,0O0,000.
Apart from this, the Vatican treasures
are almost limitess. With it's 1000 rooms,
the pelace ia a storehouse of the priceless
in art and literature. II has been said to
contain more gold than the Klondike and
more Jewels than he South African diamond
mines, and Leo, during his pontificate, has
added largely to this treasure.
e Il tntN IN
Vatican during the jubilee year of his
priesthood in 1885 On the day of the
jubilee mass S3OOO,OOO in gold coin was
presented The total value Of the jubilee
gifts was estimated at Sl4,S000OO. And
since then the Pope celebrated the golden
Jubilee Of his episcopate and the twenty
frrn adversary of his pontificate, each
time receiving more millions in gifts,
One of the most notable was a diamond
from President Kriiger. Another, presented
TO him last March. was topaz weighing
1854 grammes, on which the Neapolitan
artist Ardica Carletto had spent twelve
years in engraving a representation Of
"The Last supper" This gem alone is val
ued al $50 600. A tiara the work of Boz
logna goldsmith, il valued at $4,000 more,
The estimated worth of the laces in the
Papal wardrobe alone is 100000
All this treasure, though nominaly the
Popes personal property, with that in
herited from his predecessors, he has re-
garded as his only by right of steward
Ship. With his own funds he has been
neither parsimonious nor extravagant. He
has particularly been generous in giving
financial assistance to friends. and many
men in Rome who have been his political
opponents are his financial debtors. He
once loaned 900, 600 lire to save the Banca de
Roma from disaster and again he lent 400
600 lire to great landed proprietor who
had been an active supporter Of Garibaldi,
And he has always been quickly repaid.

"wR0TE HIS OWN EPITAPH."
Tho Pope's Early Anticipations OF Death
Recalled.

The fact that even in his youth the Pope
looked upon death as friend whose face
had no terrors for him was brought out
in an interview a Sun reporter had with
Father Wynne, s. j.. editor OF the Mes
senger and director Of the Apostleship
Of Prayer. In speaking OF the Pope, Father
Wynne said:
Over seventy years ago. when only 20
years old Joachim Pecoi wns already looking
for death He wrote in 1880:
"Hasgard and wan my face. and laborins Ia my
Lansuid | walk the way, to dusty death
Happy the exle's feet to press the Fatherland;
Happy the storm tossed bark TO gain the strand.
After span OF years far longer than most
men live. in 1897, he repeated the sentiment.
again in verse:
My weary race Is rum touch the goal
Hear. Lord. the feeble paintings Of my soul:
II 1t be worthy. Lord. Thy plying breast
Welcome II unto everlasting rest"
1t will not be hard to write Leo's epitaph.
He has written II more than once in poem
and lapidary, and the only difficulty will be
to choose which best expresses the story
and influence OF his lie. Under his own por-
trait he wrote In 1883
| have loved justice. therefore have borne
Conflict and labor, plot and biting scOrn.
Guardian OF Faith. for Chriyt's dear sake would
suffer with gladncss and In prison die
His motive in life Is clear. from the follow
ing inscription. written in 1893:
For the rest Of my mortal life
am firmly resolved
BY Offering daily
The Victim OF Precipitation,
To cenyc more closely to God:
And. with watchfui
And with cvergrOwing zeal
To labor
For tho eternal salvation
OF the souls Of men.
Forward then. Leo,
Strive. strive
To Surmount with courage
Whatsoever obstacles:
To endure with patience
Whatsoever trials;
Fear not
Your life Is nearly ended
Your race IL nearly run;
Renounce and spuu
MI that Is pcrlshable:

Press forward
with constant longing
Toward thy heavenly
Fathcrland.
II is too soon yet to speak of his successor
No matter who may be chosen. his work
will endure and his policy continue. How
ne regarded change OF Pontlffs appears
from an epigram written in 1883:

Broken with cares. In prison shall he die"
