ise of a reputation which will rival
that of his predecessor and of that 9th

Charles II. SpurgeOn.

and nearly all the great monochrome

this defiance of the government.
Although educated for the Episcopal
ministry, Mr.. Campbell turned instead
to the Congregational church, his first
pastorate, at Brighton, being eminent
ly successful. After eight years of
work he saw the old church outgrown
and a new one built in a more promi-
nent locality, where crowds came to
worship. Since he has been preaching
in the City Temple immense crowds
have thronged to hear him, his regular
congregation numbering over $500.
Shortly after the death of the ia
nous Joseph Parker, Mr.. Campbell,
who is tall, graceful and IF striking APP
pearance, with prematLSely gray hair,
was asked to occupy the City Temple
for one Sunday. No sooner had the
ultra critical congregation heard him
than he received Il call, which he ac
cepted, and soon began his London

considers him n more eloquent orator
than his predecessor.

HELGOLAND'S GREAT LIGHT
1t Is Said to Be the Most Powerful In
the World.

Shipping circles and students of
coast lighting methods find much in
terest in the new electric flash light
which has just been erected by the
German government on Helgoland
island in the North sea. The principle
employed is said to be entirely new.
and the Germans claim that the light
is the most powerful in the world.
The novel feature of the light throw
ing apparatus consists in the use OF
parabolic glass mirrors in place of the
lenses which have hitherto held the
field. This method places the light con-
centrating apparatus at the back of the
light instead of in front of il, as in the
case of the old fashioned lenses.
In operation Il ray of high candle
power is projected from Il battery OF
three ray throwers erected upon re-
volving reflector with parabolic mir
ror. The ray is flashed for a tenth Of
n second every five seconds. The light
is concentrated and thrown forward
from the parabolically curved mirrors,
which are thirty inches wide. Only
the central portion. third of the area,
is put into the greatest use.
The fash illumines the entire hori-
zon. In normal wea Their it may be
seen twenty three miles at sea. When
the weather is favorable the beams go
far beyond this distance. On the first

ASCENT OF MOUNT RAINIER
DR.. Belts and II. NJ. Sarvant Prove
Mountain Stiu SurmountabIe.

Mountain Still SuEmOuntahle.
DIR. w. Il. Belts of New Orleans and
II. NJ. Sarvant OF Tacoma, Wash. have
made thrilling ascent Of Mount Raj
nier. says the New York Times. DR..
Belts read in newspapers that the
mountain had not been assembled for
four years on account of great breaks
in the ice walls about Gibraltar rock
Old guides had gone to Gibraltar rock
for several seasons past only to turn
back without reaching the top.
DR.. Belts was determined to disprove
the theory that the mountain is in
surmOuntable. Reaching Tacoma few
days ago, he started at once for Para
disc valley. on the southern slope. De-
scending from Pinacle peak of the
Tatoosh range both men took q peril
Gus slide Of half a mile down steep
snow fields. After previously carrying
food TO Camp Muir the climbers start
ed on Il Sunday evening TO make the
ascent. They camped at Muir until
daybreak, but the weather was bitter
ly cold, making sleep impossible. AT
3 a. III. they discarded all unnecessary
clothing, taking only alpine stocks and
cameras, and started.
Reaching tie glaciers about Gibral-
tar, they were compelled to use ropes
and to cut 500 steps in the ice with
Ratchet in making a ZigZag journey up
Ice slopes and around crevasses. They
found that avalancheS had carried
away a great rocky ledge above Glib
raltar on which previous climbers had
depended in ascending one of the
steepest places. The summit was reach
ed at II a. m. They visited three
peaks. Investigation showed that there
had been no recent volcanic activity, as
was supposed, though steam and sui
phur fumes still rise in the craters..
They reached Paradise valley at 8
O'Clock the next night. twenty five
hours after commencing the ascent.

Dimensions of the Record Breaking
Battle Ship.

The Kearsarge, which has broken all
records for speed of battle ships sus-
tanned for long distances and which

the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock company, Newport News,
Va. at 1902 d. m, March "a, 1893, and
at 11.32 her sister ship, the Kentucky,

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical
science is toward preventive
measures. The best thought of
the world is being given to the
subject. 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia, one of the most dan.
gerous diseases tnat medical men
have to contend with, can be pre-
vented by the use of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Pneumo.
MIA always results from a cold or
from an attack of influenza grip,
and it has Deen observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency
of these diseases toward pneumo-
MIA. This has been fully proven
in many thousands of cases in
which this remedy has been used
during the great prevalence OF
colds and grip in recent years,
and can be relied upon with inn
plicit confidence. Pneumonia of
ten results from u slight cold
when no danger is apprehended
until it is suddenly discovered
thpt there is fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the
chest, then it is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. BE

The Game Of Politics.

There is much truth and sound
logic in the following:
Booker T. Washington saw fit
to issue a public statement not
many days ago explaining that he
was not politician, that he would
under no circumstances promote
can lidates for office or discuss
political issues, and assuring the
colored people that inasmuch as
they must work out their future
educationally and industriously
before everything else, it would
be better far than to refrain from
seeking political Offices. 1t is ex-
Icellent advice to give the negro,
aud it would be equally good ad-
vice for some Booker T. Wash
ington to give the white man
Too much politics has ruined
more men than gambling. Every
reformer deems it his duty to
urge every young man to take an
active part in politics, but few re,
formers are wise enough to urge
the young man to make his party
wholly subordinate to his every
day affairs. 1t is one thing to at,
tend the primaries and help nom
mate the best man, but it is quite
another thing to depend on poll
tics for bread and butter, to say
nothing of tobacco and whiskey
and other necessaries of political
life. Politics is a fine avocation
for young man. if he is clean
and honest. 1t is good for him
and good for the government.
But it is a bad vocation. The
man that depends on politics for
a living will either have very
poor living or he will obtain by
methods which cannot be safely
discussed in the presence of a
grand jury. Long participation
IN office without other means of
support, often leads to penury OF
worse.-Detroit Free Press.

acter was good, and she enjoyed

account of ber color, and were
hopeful of her being succeeded
by white persen when her term
expired When, therefore, it
Was learned that she had been re-
