AT THE CHURCH OF THE MES
 SHAH.

Sunday morning. at the Messiah church, the pastor, Rev. W. F. Dieker- man, delivered a very able and timely discourse on ''The Preservation of Faith in the Midst of Calamity
 This theme was suggested by the many appalling calamities that have re- gently befallen so many of the human family, and the fact that this question is thereby forced upon US, "Is this a moral universe, and is God a loving Father?"
 All things in this world transpire in harmony with certain laws, which are obviously best for us, the children of this world. Were God to perform one miracle, thus Ignoring law, in every mo- ment of the worlds history He would be expected to step in and prevent all disaster and suffering. This would in- sure the abolition of all law" The speaker stated that only as we consider the solidarity of the race can we be reconciled to such human sacri- flee. He cited many of the most con spicuous instances of torture, martyr dom and suffering which had wrought
 
 | from the standpoint of the race it had paid.
 What can be said for the individual who suffers thus for the benefit of gen. erations to follow. One set of people suffer and another set reap the bene- fits"
 Here the pastor presented strong argument for immortality.
 If death ends all there can be no gratitude for life-no justification for the Creator thus to permit the individ- ual suffeing in this world.
 If death ends all, we are not war lranted in calling God our Father. If there is life beyond, in which all will enjoy full heritage, only if that be true can be say God is good Let us seek to fortify faith, that men may req l lize they are everlasting beings, and that the tribulations of this life are but stepping stones to an immortal heritage beyond

A YEAR BOOK AND GUIDE.

You frequently hear mention of dead languages We'll, some facts are even deader but these are not the kind that the Tribune Almanac deals in. By way |of verifying that, just take a cursory glance over the issue for 1904, which is now on sale It is not an almanac in the dictionary sense of the word, but is really ready reference and guide book, containing everything that such com |pilation ought to have. And the mate rial has been garnered and sifted and tested with the utmost care so as to se- cure absolute accuracy, or at least get as near to it as honest, painstaking en- deavor will bring one.
 Herein will be found a perfect gold mine of information on topics of inter- est, not only to every American, but likewise to all who care to know about us, our laws, population, officials, and so forth. (And, by the way, if you have any friends in Europe, just send them copy and see if they don't appre- ciate it.)
 There isn't anything missing in the way of records which the average man will want to know about. It doesn't matter what the subject-game laws, pension legislation, sporting statistics, facts about universities, colleges patri- otic societies, population, public officials, to say nothing of condensed guide of New York city, map of the under- ground railroad system, showing the To- |cation of stations, and table telling railroad distances, fares, etc.
 In fact, it is really not an exaggera- ton to say that of a hundred and one things sane person wants to know, at least ninety-nine will be found in the Tribune Almanac.

Lena Merville and Marion Fillmore scored emphatically last night with Lawrence Sterner's comedy sketch, "The Two Juliets. " Original matter well presented with good stage setting and capable artists made this stand out prominently as the man comedy feature. of lengthy bill last night.
 The company supporting the princi- pals did well and the story the sketch | tells with the help of twin infants and twin elders causes large amount of merriment. The novelty act of the bill "Artesto" was also a surprise for the patrons This novelty was engaged from Europe by Manager Polf and is one of the many puzzling things that have been presented in vaudeville. It has the patrons guessing and will con- tinue to do so for it is a mystery as deep as the Moto-girl was.
 Fake and Semon in good comedy musical act, Muzuz and Mazette with their special act of 'The Brakeman and Tramp" are good and they have some scenery that makes their act stand out very prominently on the bill The story they tell is good and they tell it in manner that had the audi ence applpauding the greater part of the time.

MINER HIT
A Gold Miner on the Coffee Que stion

Gold Miner on the Coffee Question
 Many a rugged constitution has brok- en down by use of coffee.
 q and my son are miners and have been strong coffee drinkers. will add I followed mining for fifty years. Near ly three years ago my son had palpita- tion of the heart so bad that after a hard days work he would be almost unable to get his breath when lying down, and I was victim of constipa- tion, headache, and could not sleep soundly.
 .sSe pulled up stakes one day and started to see a doctor and curiously enough an old acquaintance met on the way steered me off. We stopped and talked, and told each other all the news and I told him about our troubles. He said it was coffee doing the work and that using Postum in place of coffee cured him os almost exactly the ail- ments described.
 sSo instead of going to the doctors I sent for some Posturn, although I did not have much faith in it, but to my great joy it turned out all right, and after we quit coffee completely we both began to get well, kept it up, and are now both of us strong, well men, with none of the old troubles. A miner is supposed to be able to stand great hardships, but we could not stand cof- fee. It was killing us. Anyone follow ing the directions on the package of Postum will have far better drink than he can get from the best coffee.
 T think every coffee toper should know Postum will cure him of his ail- ments. besides it is such refreshing drink" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.
 Coffee hurts nearly all who drink it and soaks some people very hard. There is a sure way out of the trouble by quitting coffee and using Postum.
 And there's a reason"

 Senator PIatt
 There has been forwarded to Senator Hoar of Massachusetts. for presenta- ton to the United States Senate this petition:
 "The undersigned. citizens of the United States, residents of the city of New Haven, without distinction of par ty, respectfully state:
 That there is recognized body of laws which ought to govern the con- duct of nations.
 That the law is uniform, not one ] for the strong and another for the weak, but the same for all.
 That a belief has arisen in the minds of many in this country and abroad that in our relations with the state of Colombia we have acted with undue haste; that we have violated and are about to violate the rules of international law; and that we are adopting line of conduct towards that country which we would not take against a stronger power.
 That the fact that Colombia, ow- ing to it's comparative weakness, is powerless to resist, demands of us the more caution to avoid the suspicion that we are making an unjust use of our, the greater, power.
 "The mere existence of such sus- picion is injurious to our honor and self respect.
 We respectfully ask that, before final ratification of the Hay-Varilla treaty, our action in Panama be sub ljected to careful and deliberate inves- tigation to the end not only that the republic may do no wrong, but that it's good repute in the world, which is dearer than any gain of lands or trade, should suffer no loss.''
 The petition includes among it's signers Dean Rogers and Professor Theodore s. Woolsey of the Yale Law school; ex-President Franklin Carter of Williams college, now living ill New Haven; Professors Beers, A. M.
