DHn's Trade Review.

New York, Jan. 27.--R. G. Dun 6 Co.'S weekly review of trade tomer- row will say:
 abroad tended to check activity in commercial and financial markets, but most industrial lines continue busy, testifying to confidence that trade in- terruptiOn will be brief. Prior to the bad weather there was liberal dis tribution to merchandise at steady prices, but subsequently sharp ad- products owing to restricted receipts at points of heavy consumption. Coun- try merchants at the South have large stocks that move slowly because of the decline in cotton and collections
 New England manufacturing plants are well engaged, especially in ma chinery, jewelry and textiles. Foreign S"mmGTSs %eeR shows s' 's gain p of s74ssst in % . ports and los of S1,690,l17 in exports as compared with the same time in 1904. Railway earnings in January were only 4 per cent. larger than last Production of pig Iron continues at the maximum rate, yet there is no evidence of a reaction. Ample water supply has made It possible to main tain the Connellsville coke productlon at the remarkable average of 100000 tons weekly, Outputs of sheets and bars could not be Increased materially
 
 even steel lraiis are beginning to afeel the effect of expanding confidence, sev- eraI large contracts increasing the amount of business on the books to about 1000. .000 tons.
 Railway bridges will take a large tonnage of structural steel and ex- tensive building operations are about to begin. Pipe mills are assured of full activity for some time to come and preparations are being made for a very large trade In agricultural i'm plements. Machinery houses are also in better condition, partially because of the resumption at Fall River. West ern markets make less uniformally tsvorable returns.
 Textile mapufacturlng conditions re- main practically without alteration. Much of the best news comes from wooden mills, which have large orders on hand. Buyers of cotton goods in inc primary markets continue to limit their operation to immediate needs ] and In many cases have deferred bnsi- ness entirely in the expectation or | much better terms later in the sea | son.

 Dr. Patterson explained that the dinner was not confined exclusively to communicants of the church. He said there are many men who are reg ular attendants of the church services and who aid the church in every man ner. He proposed sentiment to Our Friends and Supporters in the Congre.- gation" and called on Victor H.. Hans son to respond.
 Mir. Hanson's remarks were witty and sincere when he referred to ths regard in which these supporters hHld the church. MT. Hanson met with spontaneous applause several times during his remarks.
 During the dinner John ". Durr IT, was called on and told funny story, and Major Pettibone recited with fine expression Father Mahoney's ''Tha Bells of Shandon."
 At the close of the dinner. Dr. Pat tersou proposed sentiment to the entire Christian church. The guests stood as the sen timent was proposed.
 The women Of the church had spread 8 beautiful repast Of turkey. oysters, potatoes beaten biscuits. jelly, coffee, cakes, etc.
 Previous to the dinner. the guests assembled in the auditorium of the church. where they were formally in- troduced to one another by the pastor.

KossUrHIsTs N TOWEL.
Liberals Suffer Defeat In Austria for
 First Time Since 1867.

Vienna, Jan 27.--All reports from Budapest indicate that the defeat Of the Government in the elections Is greater than was at first thought, Pre- mier Tisza is expected to come to Ni- emma after the last polling day to form ally tender the resignation of himself and the Cabinet to the Emperor.
 After being in power since the es- tabllshment of the Apsgleich Gan ar- rangement for the division of expenses for purposes common to both Austria and Hungary) in 1867, the Liberals have suffered their defeat.
 The gains of the Kossuthlsts ts equally surprising to friends and foes and the result is so astonishing that no enc appears prepared to discuss the possibilities of the situation. Francis Kossuth in an interview merely says he had been confident of the success of his party and would quietly await further developments. Count Albert Apponyi was equally non -commltal and said that, according to traditionS the initiative must come from the Govern ment.
 It is generally agreed that the ale gations will have an important bearing on the dual monarchy, The effect on the questions of an independent Hun. garian army and the commercial rela- tions between the two countries is awaited with much concern

Death by asphyxiation.
 This was tho verdict of the Coroner of Montgomery County. It will so on the records as the explanatory cause of the death of an infant. an only child five months old The verdict Is just true and definite so far as 1t goes.
 It does not. it could not go far enough to tell the story of a young and tender mother accidentally smoth- ering her child to death in the effort to protect 1t from the biting, sting ing cold weather of Wednesday night It couldn't tell the story of poor and helpless mother with no other re- ing to keep herself and her child from freezing and starvation. And there is nothing in 1t to show that when the fearful cold of Wednesday night swept down over Montgomery it found her with only a few shingles in her room to fight back the cold and warm the bodies of herself and her child.
 There could be nothing in the ofl- cia1 records to tell the wealthy city of Montgomery that a mother clasping a child so tightly to her to give 1t the WaTIuLN buG was to pTONtde in any other way had fallen asleep and accidentally smothered out the life. which she would have given her own to protect.

 Dadeville, Jan. 27.--(5pecial )-R. NJ Templeton. an old and highly respected citizen of Alexander City, died very suddenly last night at the home of T. J. Hunt, in Dadeville. Mir. Tempietou came to Dadeville from his home at Alexander City yesterday and spent the day here on business. He seemed to bo in his usual health and stopped on his way to the depot for supper at MT Hunts, where he was taken sud- denly i'll with heart trouble and died in a few moments. The remains were shipped to Alexander City this morning for burial.
 Needham Waters. one of the oldest men in this section, died at his home near town last Sunday. Mir. Waters was quite a character in his way. and was known to great many people.
 The stock of goods of Charles Wald- rup. a merchant of Susana. ten miles south of Dadevilie. was levied upon bv the sheriff under various attach meats sued out by Mir. Waldrup's cred Itors.

PRESBYTERIANS DINE
AN ENTERTAINMENT IN FIRST
 CHURCH LECTURE ROOM.
Men of the Congregation Sat Down to splendid RepRat and Indulged in Several Happy
 Speeches.

The men of the First Presbyterian Church, members of the congregation and a few invited friends of the church met and dined in good fellow ship in the lecture room of the church last night and for over an hour en- joyed themselves in social intercourse
 The idea of the dinner was oTlgt- mated by Rev. c. W. Patterson, b. D., pastor of tho church. in order to bring the men who worship together into a' condition of personal intimacy. Tn nis explanatory remarks of the call ol the meeting, Dr. Paterson said that the women of the church had for years re- parded their associate women of the church with sisterly feeling. Being members of the First Presbyterian Church had drawn the women closer together and for no other reason than being members of the same church, many were drawn together intimately.
 The men. he said, had In tho most part. devoted their sdeial time to the lodges and there affiliated with their fraternal brothers. The work Of the church, he declared, could be per formed better with tho members In intimate touch with each other and for this reason he thought that the fraternal spirit of the lodge room could well be adopted by churches.
 He had considered plans for bring ing this spirit about and had remem- bered the old custom of the Arabians that when one breaks bread with fellow man, he is an acknowledged friend. The idea of dinner was i'm conceived. He had consult ed with the women of the church and they had readily concurred Tn his opinion and had spread the bountifuI supper laid before the guests:
 TO these women, therefore. Dr. Pat terson proposed the first sentiment and called on Iudga C. W. Buckley to re- spond. Judge Buckley responded with eloauence and feeling. He enlarged on the ideas expressed by Dr. Patterson

Jesus and Nieodemas.

SGoAa AMM tNbCVsACtAAass
 The visit of Nicodemus to Jesus ought to be viewed in the light of events then transpiring. This ruler of the Jews has been seyerly criticised for tho clandestine character of his visit. He has been characterized as constitu- tionally timid (Westcottl, as having softness of constitution (Olshausen), and even as despicable timer-server (Eichornl. But it should be remem- bered that the overwhelming breach between the officials of the Hebrew Church and the reforming rabbi had already begun. As a class, they were his pronounced enemies. Nic4demus rose superior to the intense prejudice of his clique, at least to the extent of visiting the offending teacher and in- quiring into His doctrine. The wonder is not that he came by night, but that he came at all Considering the per versity of the human heart--espeeially the heart. of a ruler of the Jews theaction of this master in Israel is admirable.
 Jesus had signalized the opening of His ministry by a series of miracles wrought in Jerusalem and at the feast time. Most conspicuous hour and place! NIcodemus was one of many upon whom these signs had had their de- signed effect. He refers at once in his first polite address to the miracles as sufficient seals to the supernatural origin of Jesuss mission.
 Jesus knew what was in" His visitor. his exact status. Here was a man superior to his class. but not wholly free from their prejudlces; one profoundly interested in the kingdom of God. but not yet apprehending its spiritual character. The tenon of Jesuss uttered word fits exactly into the mortise of Nicodemus's thought

NEARLY READY
TO ORGANIZE

Matters incidental to the formation
OF the Medical Protective Association
by the Montour County Medical So
ciety, are progressing. Nearly every.
thing il in shape for organization, the
committee having its work about COM
pleted and its plans formulated. With
the view Of organizing the physicians
will meet In a short time.
Tie move to organize Medical Pro-
tective Association in this county has
stirred up the physicians in other coun-
ties in the state. and they have decid-
ed to act too and protect themselves
against dead beats by forming similar
associations. With that object in view
they have written frequent letters to
the local physicians, requesting In
structions and advice in the matter.
In the face of all this comes the In
formation Of a more gigantic move by
physicians. The American Medical
Association has bill introduced IN
Congress asking for q charter, in order
that is may become a chartered organ
ization and be under the protection OF
the laws OF the United States. Con
sequently dead beats will soon find
hard travelling all over Uncle Sans
domain, and the service Of physician
difficult to procure.

origin of Texts.

The custom Of taking text as the
basis OF sermon originated with Ezra,
who, accompanied by several Levites
In public congregation Of men and
women, ascended pulpit, opened the
book Of the law and, after a prayer,
read in the book in the law Of God
distinctly and gave the sense and caus-
ed them to understand the reading"
Previous to the time of Ezra the
patriarchs delivered In public assem-
blies either prophecies or moral instruc-
tions, and 1t was not until the return
Of the Jews from the Babylonish cap
dvity, during which they had almost
lost the language in which the PentA-
teuch was written, that it became nee
essary to explain as we'll as to read the
Scriptures to them.
