MOTHERS PRAYER.

And IL told the tale to n moonbe.
That 10 passed on its journey home,
Then dropped the tear In the ocean,
TO he lost In the seething foam.
And the moonbeam sped TO the cottage,
Straight from the heaven above,
And carried the child on Its bosom
To land of infinite love.
At the thought of u kindness done,
Looked In next dny nj the window,
With n message OF love from the sun.
But 10 found the mother weeping,
For now she could only pray
That her child might come back from
its long, long rest.
Back to the earth and play.

Deputy Marshals Too Jealous In
Searching For Liquor.

Muskogee, l. T., July 28.-Con-
siderable indignation is felt over the
action Of Deputy United States
narshals, who, it is asserted, exec ed
their authority in their search for
liquor. A few days ago deputy
boarded a train at Tahlequah and
opened a grip Of a passenger. He
found no liquor. The passenger
was a well known business man OF
the the territory and there was
nothing to indicate he had liquor in
his grip. He appealed TO the rail-
road company and demanded pro-
lection. The deputy was told by
the conductor that henceforth when
he wanted to search passengers for
liquor he must wait until they left
the train.

ST. Petersburg, July 28 Viats-
heshaif Constantinovitch VonPlehve
minister of the interior of Russia,
was assassinated at o:fo O'Clock
this morning with a bomb thrown
at his carriage while he was driv
ing to the Baltic station to take a
ltrain for the palace of Peterhof
where he was 10 make his weekly
report TO the car
The assassination is believed to
be the outcome Of a widespread
plot, the existence Of which has
been suspected for several days.
/ Numerous arrests have already
been made, including that Of the
assassin, a young man who is be-
lievcd 10 be Finn Of the name of
Leglo and who is now in hospital
perhaps fatally injured by the ex-
plosion OF his own bomb. An ac-.
complice Of Leglo, also apparently
Finn, but whose name is un-
known, has been arrested. He had
I in his possession a bomb, which he
tried to throw, but he was over
powered BY the police Just in time
TO prevent great loss Of life.
The assassin wore a brown over
coat and a railroad officers cap. He
stood on the sidewalk just as Min
lister Won Plehye's carriage was
about to cross the canal bridge near
the station. The minister was es-
corted by a number Of detectives on
bicycles, and one of them ios'led
the assassin who then rushed into
the road and threw the bomb after
the carriage The missile struck
the hind wheel and exploded with
fearful force, killing or wounding
more than a score OF persons. Min
I lister Won Plehve and his coachman
were killed outright and an officer
of the guard was fatally injured.
One of The cyclist detectives ar
rested the assassin, who endeavored
TO escape, though wounded by
splinters in the face, arm and alb
domen. He made no attempt at re
sistance, however, when seized by
the detectives and confessed his
crime but refused 10 give his name.
The police Immediately after the
explosion arrested a suspicious
looking individual who took refuge
in hotel near the scene of the
tragedy. He carried a bomb simi-
lar to that thrown by Leglo As
soon as the police saw the bomb
they scattered, but an employe oI
the hotel rushed up behind the ac
complice and piuned his arms.
The explosive is believed TO have
been composed of pyroxlin, as i
gave off little smoke. The force o
the explosive was so terrific that i
not only broke nearly every win
dow within radius of half a mile
but reduced heavy paving stones tc
+, powder, heaved up the pavemen
and flung a heavy piece of iron
. work of the carriage across th'
canal, severing a thick barge mast
which fell, stunning the captain o
y the barge. Everybody in the stree
was Knocked do,gn and bruised.

Larger Congregations

The congregation at the Metho-
dist revival last night was the
largest that has yet attended and
more interest was manifested than
in any previous service. The pas
tor preached a very able sermon
and a profound impression was
made When the invitation was
given three came forward for pray
ers and many more expressed the
same desire by standing. Two Of
those who came forward were
converted. The singing is improv-
ing at each service. All of the
music is soul-sGrring and helpful.

HUNDRED-MILE TRAIN
Is in Sight and Will Cut Time on
Long Runs

we note with pleasure that our space
deVour1ng friends at Zossen have not
yet satiated their hunger for pace and
touched the record the other day for
no less than lao miles per hour. They
seem TO be overcoming air pressure
rather comfortably up to the present,
and we have heard nothing about the
motors failing or the pressure caving
IN the 'front.' end of the car. Perhaps
the doubling gentlemen who figured on
tue motors burning out from overload
at 81 miles per hour to 100 miles per
hour VIII now be convinced that higher
speeds are both possible and prac-
tlcable One hundred and forty miles
per hour is a decidedly hot pace, but
IL Will more than likely be beaten be-
Iore we go to press. 1t has taken a
minute trotting horse, but this year we
nave MIN in triplicate, and just so it
mas been with electric railroading
once the records began to break they
f RAJ blew up and left only small
trasments. One hundred and forty
miles per hour, even if not outdone by
a considerable margin, still means that
the hundred nile-an-h train is much
nearer 10 reality than it has ever been
DelOfe- Ihat speed is quite feasible
whenever it is demanded and it is,
moreover, quite high enough to meet
the requirements of humanity for some
little time TO come. It's real Importance
lies, as we have often remarked in it's
application to long lines on which the
saving of time would be material. Cut
ting down the running time to Flat
bush or Hackensack may defer the dys-
pepsla of the commuter for another
season or two, but it is not commercial
ly important. It is cutting the time on
long runs that counts-reducing the
time to Washington to less than three
hours, converting the trip to Chicago
into q mere nights run. 1t is now an
nounced that the experiments have
been conducted largely with the idea
of the early application of the system
to the railroad connecting Berlin with
Hamburg, distant by rail 176 miles from
each other, and that an early CONVEX
sion of that line is by no means i'm
probable. Somehow the hundred-mil

a few months ago, and our spyglass
is still trained in the direction of Ger

USE OF APPLES.
Financial and Dietetic Value of q
Growing American Crop.

The more mellow apples one eats the
better, provided they be taken at meal
times. Tt is best of all to eat fruit
before meals. and freely as you like.
This will prevent loading the system
with a heavy weight of less digestible
foods. Senator Vest says that If a man
wishes to live long and be able to keep
up his work he must eat not less than
one apple with every noon lunch; we
are not sure but he said half dozen.
The no-breakfast fad tells us that we
must not only go without the morning
meal, but that we must live much
more largely upon fruit Some of its
disciples insist that the apple may be
taken in the place of the ordinary
breakfast. John Wesley once referred
of the alarming advance of luxuries IN
England. Charles Lamb quotes a
friend who says that "a man cannot
have a pure mind who refuses apple
dumplings," and DR.. Johnson speaks
of a clergyman of his acquaintance
who brought his family up almost alto
gether on this Anglo-Saxon combina-
ton. We have recollections of dump
lings which might have been the origin
of Ca1vinism. 1t must be borne in
mind that the ideal apple is one that
is fit to be eaten raw: yet the glorious
