PASTOR AS A BLACKSMITH.

Members Of Family in Com
Portable Way. }

Lancaster, Pa.-Finding that preach
ing does not provide a sufficient in
come for the proper support OF his fam
lily, Rev. M. E. Bachman, of Millers-
vile, United Brethren minister, has
resumed his old trade of blacksmithing,
and works at it while not engaged in
his regular ministerial duties. He be-
lieves that good blacksmith has a
larger income than great many
preachers, and he has verified his be-
lief by his own experience.
Mr.. Bachman is an expert in the
dressing of edge tools, and when he
was confronted with the necessity Of
providing more means for his family
he decided to offer his services to the
contractors who are constructing the
new Pennsylvania railroad through
southern Lancaster county.
When they found that could dress
their 2O-foot tools they gave me a
job at once" said he, land at the
wages they offered me can easily make
$40 a week. Expert tool dressers are
hard to find; and the contractors, am
sure, would sooner pay me four dollars
a day than let me go.

SECOND CITY IN WORLD.
New York Expects the State Census
to Give It That Position
When Taken.

New York.-There is little doubt that
the state census will show that New
York city has a population of 4.00,-
900. A forevast based upon the re-
suit of the last census indicates
that Manhattan Brooklyn together
will be found to have about
100000, the Bronx about $4,000.
Queens about 100000, and Richmond
about 10000. The sum of these appor-
tionments is 4.O71, 900. The shrinkago
will hardly be so much that the total
will fall materially below 100000
New York may not pass London and
become the largest city in the world, as
some enthusiasts prophesy, but it is
easy the second largest city on the
globe, having taken that position from
Paris during the last few years. BY tina
census of 1901 Paris had population of
2,174,00O. 1t probably has not far, if at
all, passed 100000.
Berlin is growing with greater rela-
tive rapidity than Paris, having pop
ulation Of nearly 5000, 900, but it would
be miracle If the German capital out
stripped New York during the next
quarter or half century, During recent
years this city has been gaining at the
rate of about three per cent. per annum.
The housing of the yearly addition of
100000 to the population of the metrop-
oils has been very difficult problem,
but has been pretty we'll solved by the
multiplication of apartment houses
With the completion of tunnels and sub
ways, new bridges, and new trolley
urbs is expected, and probably will take
place, but nearly all of tAese desirable
suburban places are within the limits
of greater New York.

What occurred is best described by an
eyewitness:
The Senate square was deserted and
presented a melancholy appearance at
the moment when entered it at lit
tie before three o'clock. The snow was
deep and the weather lowering; some
men we're engaged in clearing the side
walks of the thick ice and snow which
covered them. I had remarked moth

nevertheless have passed very close to
me.
''All at once, as was approaching
the entrance, was Mortified and al
most stunned by the most terrific ex-
plosion. The shock. which nearly threw
me off my feet, lasted but the fraction

the ground. while there reached my
ears a great crash of broken glass in

snow. I fastened my steps and per.

fur wrap thrown over her shoulders.
There she was kneeling in the snow be-
side the remains of her husband. She
could just be seen through the encir-
cling police. Very soon some officers
and priests arrived to transport on a
stretcher to the Monastry of Tchoudov,
near Petit Palais, the remains of the
grand duke, which were assembled with
difficulty, as the body had been fright
fully mutilated. The coachman had
been wounded in the back and the
head, but he was still in his seat and
holding the reins when they took him
down and removed him to the hospital.
The handle of the carriage door had
been thrown to a distance of 200 feet.
The following morning his cigar case
was found in the snow"
The spread of the nihilist doctrines
among the aristocracy is an enigma,
and is not hopeful evidence of the
greater Intelligence which is to be ex-
pected at the hands of this class in any
attempt to right the wrongs of Russia.
The provocation in this case was adj

are not the less deadly. The bomb
that killed Grand Duke Sergius was
thrown by an Obolenski-a name
which denotes one of the most distin-
guished families of the Russian aris-
tocracy. This fact is no longer secret
the sort which the Russian police
like to embalm within their own in
scrutable comprehension. From every
indication there is more nihilism in
vited officially to the palace of the car
than you would meet with in visit
to the Russian underworld. 1t may be
depended upon that there are many
persons of title who know more of the
real spirit of the Russian terrorists
than they would care to discuss in q
tete-a-tete in the cars reception
rooms.
There can be no doubt that many
who are privileged to enjoy the melan-
choly warmth of the cars hospitality
and that of the grand dukes, harbor at
the same time murderous thoughts,
their normal impulses cankered by the
Iinvidius teachings of nihilism. The
death of Sergius and the revelations
which have followed that tragedy give
evidence of this. The grand dukes
slayer was known both to the murdered
man and to his widow, the Grand
Duchess Elizabeth. He belonged to
their stratum of society. He had no
personal grievance. He expressed great
regret to the grand duchess when she
visited him in his cell after the assas-
sinaiion. that he had caused her SO

PATRIOTISM OF THE JAPs.
American Physician Who Inspected
Toxic Hospitals Relates
Rare Instances.

DR.. Jefferson Davis Grifflth, Of Kan.
sas City. Mo-. was lately in Paris on his
way to America, He left San Francisco
with Mrs. Griffith last June for a tour
of the world.
During the Span sh-American war,
says the New York Herald, DR.. Griffith
was chief surgeon of the First army
corps, U. S. ". having previously con-
Quoted governmental experiments re-
garding the effects of bullets on the
human body. and one Of the objects of
his long journey was to inspect the caro-
of the wounded in Japan.
He was in Toxic during the celebra-
ton Of the victory of Liaoyang. While
the people were rejoicing in the streets
hundreds of wounded were being
brought from the Yalu and from Port
Arthur.
Il have never seen greater patriot-
ism," said DIR. Griffith at the Grand ho-
tel the other day. MEN submitted to
great inconvenience and underwent
much unnecessary suffering without pro-
test. The wounded arrived in freight
cars to the sides of which had been
nailed boards for hunks, three such
hunks forming tier on each side. They
| were unattended by surgeons, and some
Of them had been two weeks coming
from the front.
What particularly impressed me was
the great number who had received
stab wounds, showing that the fighting
had been hand to hand. One of the first
men / examined had received is such
wounds-nine in the chest and sig in tho
back, and they nearly all seemed to
have been made by blunt instruments.
"As leaned over this poor fellow,
who was fighting hard for recovery,
told my interpreter to ask him II there
was anything that could be done for
him. The wounded soldier replied to
the question:
"'Yes; get me out OF this and let me
get back to the front
after that l put the same question
to at least hundred wounded men,
and in every instance the reply was SUBJ
stantially the same. They were all
anxious to be back again fighting the en-
envy.
I'm Toxic the hospital accommoda-
tons were excellent, all things consid-
cred, but there were many things which.
although perhaps necessary in great
war, would have caused widespread In
dignation in America. Our patriotism
has not yet made us stoics. In aseptio

blood mixed with rum; prayers to the
snake rise on the night air; priest and
priestess add to the excitement with
frenzied manifestations; the widest
debaucheries are carried on.
The voodoO doctors practice regular
ly, their services required in every day
life as we'll as at the special orgies.
They probably, like the Indian medi-
cine man, have some knowledge OF
herbs and roots, their medicinal quail
ties and their poisons. The supersti-
tious stand in fearful awe of their
powers, pay money to avert evil from
themselves, to bring down curses ON
an enemy.
While the darkest, most sinister Of
the voodoo mysteries are carried on in
secret, voodooism of sinister enough
sort may be seen and heard nightly in
Port au Prince. The signal for the
ceremonies is the strange sound made
by the beating on the tam-tams. the
big bullock skin drums It is sign that
a band q negroes have come together
for the shameless dance, the weird and
unholy rites of voodooism.
