GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.
Eventful Career of Noted and Eccen-
trio Man.

New York.--George Francis Train who
died Here last night. probably was one OF
the most picturesque figures In the history
of America Only a year ago, when he
was then IA years old. he dictated the re-
miniscences of his extraordinary career
and the resn1t was published in book
form. Summarized in his own curious
fashion, this contained information about
his life

and continue to read H. because God COM
mands you to read It, Read It, because
your deeper spiritual life depends upon
your reading It or In having 1t read to
you. Study It. and continue to study 1t,
because when you read the Bible God
liz talking to you as when you pray you
are talking to God.
But there Is still another way for the
Christian to quench tho spiritual flame
which is now burning within him. That
way Is to neglect the family altar, which
should be raised In every home. That way
is for the husband and father to hurried
y arise In the mornig and quickly dress,
and then off to business without gather
ing his children about him for family
worship and without having any blessing
asked at the breakfast table. That way
is for every father to think that all that
he has to do Is to say his own prayers
and do his own Christian work. and then
his children will say their own prayers
and fulfill their own Christian tasks.
The Fireside Standard.
Every mans home to a certain extent
is his own castle. He can lift what stan
dards he pleases over his own Preside. He
can emphatically say, as did Gods serv-
ant of old, Let others do as they will
but as for me and my house we shall
serve the Lord" Or he can open his own
home to shelter and entertain evil tempta-
tons of all sorts. But let no man think
II he surrenders his house to evil practices
and yields himself and his home to the
seductions of the world that he can at
the same time live a spiritual life, nor
can he expect that those around him. who
are bound to him by ties Of blood and
love, will lead spiritual lives. He must
If he would live right. not only consecrate
his own life every morng to God. but
in the presence Of his children he must
offer a petition to God for them to conse-
crate their lives to Christ also.
So completely do | believe the true spir-
itual life to be dependent In many ways
upon the family altar that ! would have

sible. teach their little children to public

the family meal I thought then, as I
think now, that 1t was an excellent prac-

tioe tending to accustom the child from
its earliest years to acknowledge the
goodness OF God and to address him In
prayer. As soon as my children were borr
l made up my mind l would teach them
when very young to ask the blessing In
public and to publicly pray at the family
altar. l would teach them when very
young, SO that they should never be
ashamed to lift their voices In petition to
God, no matter where they might be. And
in their young lips praying at family
worship I have found my own spiritual
life as q river widening and deepenig In
strength every year.
Thus, no matter which way we may
look at the Pauline word .quench," the
whole trend OF the matter Is this As
Christians we cannot live true spiritual
life unless every moment Of every day
we are in touch with Christ. We cannot
preach to others unless by searching
Gods word we hear Christ preaching to
US. We cannot pray for others In public
view unless we have had much knee drill
in secret prayer. We cannot give ourselves
wholly to Gods service unless at the
same time at the family altar we give our
loved ones also to him. Are we ready TO
come into touch with all these spiritual
sources of power? BY coming In touch

ton to ask and to answer. In what. o
struggling friend, does the chief definition
of being a Christian consist? Ought you
to say, II want to be a Christian to
escape the evil effects of sin?' Il want
to be a Christian to be happy?" II want
to be q Christian m order that I NAV

to be a Christian. not for your own beatl-
fication. but in order that God may be
glorifed. In order to giorify God we
should pray to him We should read the
Bible that we can further find out how
Christ may continue to be gIoriied. May
our lives be filled with holy zeal for the

Such words of praise from a person
of such high standing must be ac-
cepted as unquestionable proof of the
superiority of Vinol.
Do you wonder that our Vinol has
such strong hold upon the esteem
of doctors and patients? We know of
nothing else that will accomplish such
wonderful results; and, remember,
Vinol is not patent medicine.
There are hundreds of old people
in this vicinity who need just such a
strength-maker and tissue-builder as
Vinol. Their blood is thin and slug

looking the political field over he finds
nothing discouraging in the Democratic

The Democrats have an even chance to

Brantley says Appropriation Win
he Made by Next Congress.
Brunswick, Ca. May 12.-Congress-
man Brantley arrived last night from
Washington, and was present at the
Board of Trade meeting to-day. In dis
cussing the question of appropriations
for Brunswick harbor, he stated that
nearly every seacoast city is now ask
ing for appropriations for harbor work.
Though he failed to secure an appro-
priation for a survey of the harbor
at the recent session, he stated that
he had succeeded in getting the COM
mittee TO recommend that the Bruins
wick appropriation be the first meas
ure taken up and passed at the next
session. In regard to the lightship he
stated that he would also be able to
secure an appropriation at the next
session, and the bill will not be fought
by Speaker Cannon. who once caused
its defeat, or rather the speaker caused
it TO be postponed.
Congressman Brantley talked inter-
estingly of the political situation. He
is of the opinion that Judge Parker
will receive the Democratic nomination
at St. Louis, and doubts seriously II
there will be any strong opposition to
him. He thinks the Democrats have
an excellent chance of carrying New
York in the general election, and fur
ther believes that they will elect their
candidate if all factions of the party
get together, which, he thinks, will
surely be done.

The Emperor will go to Moscow Sat
urday 10 pray for victory at the Trim
ity Sergius monastery and thence, after
a few days. to Karkhoff to bid farewell
to the Tenth and Seventeenth Army
Corps previous TO their departure for
the Far East.
The Associated Press learns from the
highest source that the Emperor IS eX-
ceedingly anxious TO go 10 the front
To his intimates recently he has spoken
much on the subject, but he realizes
that conditions of state demand ms
presence at home. Nevertheless, 1t IS
not considered impossible that he will
follow the example of all the Romanoft
dynasty during the last century ana
undergo his baptism of f-~e. To hght
with the army is one of the traditions
of his house. Should he finally con-
clude TO go the Emperor would not
assume active command of the troops,
but would have an imperial headquar-
ters. taking with him all the members
of his military cabinet.
Being on the spot the Emperor would
more easily advise Gen. Kuropatkin in
the event of any question of military
moment which he might desire to sub
init to his majesty. But, of course, the
chief advantage would be the stimulus
which the personal presence of the SOW
ereign would have upon the officers
and men.

eloquent sermon, Frederick Beach, a
well known society man of this city,
has been led to a confession of en-
bezzlement and, as the result of self
imposed accusations, is now under ar
rest, awaiting trial. In addition to en-
bezzlement charges he may also be
tried on charge of bigamy.
Beach formerly held position of con-
fidence in a Chicago mercantile house.
According to the police he two years
ago appropriated $1,000 of the funds en-
