HOME MISSION MATTER.
Mra, II. G, Peery, Editor,

We see in the Midland Methodist that
there is urgent need for horse to haul
back and forth at the Orphanage,
Greenville, Tenn. Now there are so
many kind hearts and so many good
horses in Tazewell that the need ought
speedily to be supplied.
MIR. Robert Hunter in .is recent book,
Poverty" gives out some facts and
figures we'll calculated to "startle the
easy-going optimism of the American
people," He estimates that at least
ten million of the citizens Of the United
States-this Christian country-are in
acute poverty and suffering, not only
for the comforts, but for the necessities
of life. In 1899 eighteen per cent. of
the people in New York State were re-
cipients of PUBLIC or private eharity.
Every year about ten per cent. of those
who die are laid away in paupers' graves
to await the resurrection morning.

The Anti-Saloon people in Virginia
seem determined to make the Demo-
cratic candidates for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor declare their posi-
tion on the liquor question. James
Cannon, Jr., President of the Virginia
State Anti-Saloon League, has address,
ed an open letter to Messrs. Mann,
Swanson and Willard and the candi-
dates for Lieutenant Governor in which
he asks them the following question:
eff elected to the position for which
you offer, would you favor the main
tenance of the Mann bill?"
The Government investigation of
the Beef Trust which began before
Grand Jury at Chicago on the goth inst.
is to be made searching and far-reach-
ing. The Government officials expect
to show violations of the law on the
part of many of the men interested in
the packers combination. If such vio-
lations can be proved the guilty parties
should have the full penalty of the law.
The i'll health Of the Hon. John Hay,
Secretary of State, is deeply regretted
by the American people, irrespective of
party, class or race. He is universally
respected both at home and abroad, and
is recognized by many to be the ablest
diplomatist this country has ever pro-
duced. 1t is to be hoped that travel
and rest will restore him to good health.
Mr.. C. B. Slemp, the new State Chair
man of the Republican party in Virginia,

He is an untiring worker and an intelE-

mistake in selecting him for the re-
sponsible position.

plosion occurred and rescued many per-
sons found underneath the wreckage,
who, if unassisted, would not have been
able to get clear of the heavy timbers
which held them and doubtless would
have perished in the flames.
Soon after the search for the dead
began eighteen charred and mutilated
corpses were recovered from the ruins,
and by seven o'clock this evening sixty
one bodies had been recovered. The
bodies have been placed in pine boxes
in store near the scene, where they
await Identification. The medical ex-
aminer has suggested that public fun
eral be held and that all bodies be buried
at one time,

Brockton, Mass, March 2O.-It is es-
timated that the explosion of boiler
in the shoe factory of r. j. Grover &
Co., at Campbello, this morning, has
cost seven scores of lives.
Immediately after the explosion the
factory caught fire and the flames
spread to neighboring structures. The
y xexplosion occurred about 7;50 o'clock
and an hour after the large four story
factory was blazing and the Dahlberg
block. corner of Calmer and Main
Streets, and the old tavern next TO it
and seven houses in Denton street were
blazing. Cries and shrieks of those
pinned in the fallen walls were heart
rending. The shrieks were heard al
most half mile and scene OF such
horror was never known in Brockton
before. The flames and smoke enwrap-
ned the victims and the cries were heard
no more. According to Night Watch
man Nehall the boiler was first used
Saturday night after lying idle all the
winter. All was well, he said, when
he left at 7:2O, leaving Engineer Rock
well in charge.
The fire which also spread to Church
i'll and Alden Shoe Factory was gotten
under control by II a. m.
All the doctors in the town were cali
ed to the scene and all the ambulances
in the city were out and hacks were
pressed into service, carrying away the
injured. The wreekage was fired which
communicated to the Dahlberg block
and two houses in the vicinity which
were burned. Some people were pen
ned in and unable to get away and were
burned to death, Part of the boiler
landed in house some distance from
the factory partially wrecking it. Doc
tors say the accident was the worst in
their experience, and that the injuries
of the survivors are the most terrible
they have ever seen. The company
manufactured the Emerson shoe.
Officials of the company now believe
that the death list will reach one hum
dred and forty. Many of the employees
Jumped from windows and received In
iuries which will prove fatal. 1t is not
known how many are buried beneath
the walls. There were four hundred
people at work in the factory when the
explosion occurred. Some of the en-
,ployes who were unhurt ran quickly to

The French government has not asked
the consent of the United States to the
proceedings against Castro, and is pro-
ceeding on the theory that there will be
no intervention of this Government.
This assumption is correct, providing
there is no intention on the part of the
French of seizing with view to its re-
tention of any Venezuelan territory,

FRANCE FORBIDS
FURTHER STEPS
Firm Attitude Toward the Venezuelan
Government.
WARSHIpS TO BACK HER DEMANDS
Cable Company Complications Reach a
Crisis and Castro is Notified There
Must Be No Further Proceedings
Toward Cancellation of the
COmpany's Contracts or
Interference With
Its Property.

Washington, March 2O;-The French
Cable complications have reached a
crisis, and Minister Bowen has inform
ed the State Department that the
French minister at Caracas, by instruc-
tions of his Government, has notified
the Venezuelan Government that there
must be no further proceedings on its
part toward the cancellation of the COM
pany's franchise on interference with
its property.
wARsHIPs ORDERED TO VENEZUELA.
Further, Mr.. Bowen reports that two
French warships have been ordered
post-haste to Venezuela to act in accor-
dance with the Instructions of the
French minister. These are the Jurien
de La Graviere and the Duplex, now in
in the Caribbean Sea,
1t is the expectation here that the ap-
pearance of these ships at La Guaira
will cause President Castro to accede
promptly to the French minister, failing
which the Minister probably will place
the legation in the care of some other
minister at Caracas and go aboard one
of the warships, thus severing diploma
tic relations between France and Vene=
zuela.
If the Venezuelan government seizes
the cable office near La Guaira it is
fully expected that the French warships
will make demonstration, attempt to
land force to recover possession of the
property, and, if resisted, open fire on
the defensive words recently construct
ed to command the harbor and roadstead
at La lGuaira,
The Dutch Government has lodged a
very serious complaint with President
Castro against the treatment of its citi-
zens, and it may join with France in
coercive measures.

Jefferson City, Mo-, March 18.-In
scenes of the widest disorder, Major
William Warner, Republican, of Kansas
City, was today elected United States
Senator from Missouri to succeed Fran
els Marion Cockrell, the Democratic
Senator whose term expired March 4th,
and who had occupied the chair since
1874.
The election of Major Warner ended
the deadlock in the Legislature that be-
gan when the first joint ballot was TAX
en- on January 18. Today's joint ballot
was the forty-fifth, and the elective ball
lot was the sixty-seventh.

THE REPUBLICAN SPLIT.

THE REPUBLICAN SPLIT.
From the beginning the Democrats
steadfastly voted for their caucus NOM
inee, F. M. Cockrell, while the major
ity of the Republicans voted for Thom-
as K. Niedringhaus, of st. Louis, chair
man of the State Central Committee,
and caucus nominee, The caucus nom-
inee was opposed by Richard Kerens,
of st. Louis, former Republican Ma
tional Committeeman, and his adherents
refused to leave him. This resulted in
the splitting of the Republican vote,
and more than score of candidates
were named in the different joint bal
lots.
When the balloting opened today,
Warner, Niedringhaus and Cockrell
were the principal contestants, with a
small vote for Kerens and a scattering
vote for Peck, Parker and Bartholdt.
On the second ballot the supporters of
Kerens returned to him and remained
until the end; Cockrell's vote was I'M
diminished, and remained so through
out, and Warner had advanced by draw
ing from Niedringhaus.
Little change was made during the
next four ballots, while the Democrats
clamored for adjournment, and the Re
publicans endeavored to fight through
to a successful result. The widest
disorder prevailed, and time and again
the proceedings were brought to a
standstill by the turmoil. In the midst
of this, after the sixth ballot had been
taken, R. C. Kerens advanced to the
rostrum and in a few words urged that
if it was the desire of the Assembly to
elect Warner, he be elected. This was
practically withdrawal of Kerens, and
solved the deadlock.
Emp IN 9ERRIFIo UPRoAR.
Efforts were made to stop roll call
on the seventh ballot, and there was an
attempt to tear the presiding officer
from his chair, and the Democrats tried
to effect an adjournment without an
election. Ths time for sine die adjourn
ment had been set fof 3 O'Clock by con-
current resolution, and as the hour ap-
preached, the clock was smashed in the
melee.
Amid an uproar that almost baffied
eentrol at times, the seventh ballot Of
the day was taken, resulting IN the
electing of Major Warner. The vote
stood: Warner, 81; Cockrell, 83; Med
ringhaus, l,
The t9ta! vote was It's, making 08
necessary to 9 ehqice, a4nrd a4nrsdl Warner re-
ceived three votes more than than the
majority.
Ats o'clock the General Assembly
adjourned sine die.

Curious Tropical Plants.

An interesting vine, known as the
coughing bean, is a respiratory plant
which is a native ofmoist, tropical re-
gions. By accidental transportation
of its seeds it has gradually spread to
much less congenial spots, especially
railroad entertainments, where it en-
dures drought very well, though its
growth is stunted. But there is one
thing it cannot endure, and that is
dust. When the breathing pores be-
come choked by dust the gases accum-
ulate within the leaf for time and
then are forcibly elected in an audi
bic paroxysm of coughing and sneez-
ing, which makes the leaf tremble vio-
lently. At the same time the whole
plant becomes red, owing to the sub
siding of the green chloroqyll grains
and the appearance of particles ofred
coloring matter on the surface. This
odd vine is sometimes cultivated as
house plant. Sweeping the carpet
of the room in which it lives is very
apt to set the plant to coughing, much
to the establishment of persons unfa-
miliar with it's peculiarities.

Preserve Youth and Health.

Avoid fear in all its varied forms
of expression. 1t is the greatest en-
envy Of the human race.
Avoid excuses of all kinds; they are
injurious. The long life must be a
temperate, regular one.
Don't live to eat; but eat to live.
Many of our ills are due to overeating,
to eating the wrong things and to ir-
regular eating.
Don't allow yourself to think on
your birthday that you are year old
er and so much nearer the end.
Never look on the dark side; take
sunny views of everything; sunny
thought drives away the shadows.
Be child; live simply and natur-
ally and keep clear of entangling al
liances and complications of all kinds.
Cultivate the spirit Of contentment;
all discomfort and dissatisfaction bring
are burrows prematurely to the face.
Form the habit of throwing off be-
fore going to bed at night all the cares
and an1ietles Of the day-everything
which can possibly cause mental wear
and tear or deprive you Of rest.

A Curious Plant.

One of the most curious plants IN
the world is one described By trav-
elers recently returned from the Cape
Negro colony, little-known region
of Africa, and called the spider plant.
These travellers often heard from the
natives of plant that was part spider,
and that, growing, threw its legs
about in continual struggles to escape.
1t was the good fortune of DR.. We'll
witsch to discover the origin of the
legend. Strolling along through a
wide-swept, lakeland country, he
came upon a plant that rested low
upon the ground, but had two enOr-
nous leaves that had twisted about
in the wind like serpent-in fact, it
looked, as the natives had said, like a
gigantic spider. It's stem was four
feet across and but a foot high. 1t
had but two leaves in reality, that
were six or eight feet long, and split
up by the wind, so that they resem-
bled ribbons. This is probably tn e
most extraordinary tree known. 1t
grows for nearly, if not quite, cen
fury, but never upward beyond about
foot, simply expanding until it
reaches the diameter given, looking,
in its adult state, like singular stool
on the plain, from ten to eighteen feet
in circumference. When the wind
came rushing in from the sea, lifting
the curious, ribbon like leaves and
tossing them about, it almost seemed
to the discoverer that the strange
plant had suddenly become imbued
with life and was struggling to escape.
When description and picture of
the plant were sent to England, 1t
was, like many other discoveries,
discredited, but soon the plant itself
was received, and now it is we'll known
to botanists.

all the law and the prophets"

"But, mother, just one question,
only one.

er, seeing that the question must
come.
"How many prophets were there ?"

Cant you guess"
mo. Now keep quiet
"|ere there three?"

"Ten ?"
Eyes. Don't ask another ques-
tion !"
"TweDty?" continued Ely, her
eyes distending.
The mother was in despair, and
answered, Eyes"
"Tben, mother, tell me this" -
Hush -
"Just this" and by this time the
little girls voice was quite audible,
chow could twenty prophets all hang
on two commandments"

Dosen, a native of Croatia, whose mus
tache measures little over three feet
