Sunday morning when Elder Foot had
gotten about half way through his SER
mon at the Methodist Episcopal church,
tame dove belonging to Mrs. Latin,
who lives near the church, flew in at the
open window and alighted upon the
chancel rail in front of the altar, and
for few minutes the congregation was
more interested in the graceful move
ments of the bird than they were in the
sermon. The elder was, however, equal
to the occasion and sandwiched in a few
side remarks about the dove being a
good omen, credited as the messenger of
peace bearing the live branch, etc. The
bird stayed through the balance of the
sermon and seemed particularly interest
ed in the singing of the last hymn.-Am-
boy Herald.

LUCKY SHIFT OF WIND.
The Bark Glenclova Was Aground.
But Change of Wind Blew Her
Into Deep Water.

Norfolk, Va, January lin the
heavy fog which hung yer the Vir-
ginia and Carolina coast this morn
ing. the big British bark Glenclova,
with a crew Of 81 men, loaded with
nitrate from fatal to Baltimore ran
upon Pebble shoal, two miles east Of
the False Cape Life Saving station.
The dense weather made it difficult
to distinguish the rig of the vessel
and for some time it was thought
to be a schooner. The False Cape
life savers went to the rescue, but
the crew of the ship which was not
in apparent danger refused to leave
their vessel. Assistance from Nor
foil was telegraphed at once, as an
increase in the win would have
jeopardized the craft. Suddenly the
wind shifted and the result was that
the stranded bark was blown off the
shoal and into deep water. She pro-
ceeded to her destination without APP
parent danger.

REYES LEAVES WASHINGTON.
His Departure Does Not Break Of
Diplomatic Relations With Colom-
bia.

Washington, January 11.-General
Rafael Reyes, the Colombian envoy
who has been in Washington in con-
nection with the Panama matter for
about a month, left the city at mid
night for New York preparatory to
his departure for Colombia in a few
days. The departure of General
Reyes does not constitute the break
ing of diplomatic relations with the
United States, but merely the suspen-
sion of the negotiations which have
been going on with the state depart
ment, having in view the r%eintegra-
ton of Panama as a part Of the
United States of Colombia. Whether
they will be resumed hereafter is not
known.
Dr.. Herran, the Colombian charge,
remains in Washington to attend to
legation business other than Panama
matters.
Advices which have reached here
from Colombia show that there is
still considerable excitement there
over the attitude the United States
has taken in the Panama matters.
General Reyes made a farewell call
on Secretary Hay today. He en-
deavored to show General Reyes the
fultility of Colombia's efforts to re-
gain Panama, but regards the matter
as still open to further efforts to-
ward a peaceful adjustment.

"a CONSCIENCE CAMPAIGN"

New Haven. Conn. January IL
William ]. Bryan was the guest Of
honor today at a banquet in Warner

were present. Governor Garvin, OF
Rhode Island. and Congressman De
Almond, of Missouri, were among the
guests from other states.
The occasion took the form Of a
celebration Of Jackson Day n was
also declared by some of its pro-
moters TO be intended as a sort OF
prelude TO the opening Of the presi-
Dental campaign in New England.
Mr.. Bryan's topic was "A Con-
science Campaign" He said in part;
1.-THE great issue at this time Is
the issue between Man and MammoD
between ~plutocracy and Demo-
cracy. All surface questions OF pol
icy, of taxation and OF regulation
and of finance are but phases OF that
century Iong-that world wide strug-
gle between the common people and
organized wealth. To say that it
the rights of the people of another
nation involves so much Of addition.
subtraction, multiplication and divis-
ion h a many get lost in a of
mathematics. But to say that the
wages Of sin is death is to give an
epitome of history that accords with
each persons experience. In dealing
with the trusts, with finance, with
labor problems and with all the 9TH
er questions at issue we must view
them from a moral standpoint and
arraign every evil at the bar Of the
public conscience.
