Yokohama, Sept l4.-Troops are
still on duty here guarding foreign con-
sulates, churches, settlements, and hotels
although there is no outward indication
that there will be any further trouble,
and last night passed of quietly. The
anger of the mobs has up to the present
been entirely directed against the police
and the placing of soldiers on guard was
appeased the crowd, inssmuch as the
soldiers are very popular. Tuesday
nights rioting was the direct result OF
agitators of the Young Japan movement
who made speeches on the several street
corners and inhamed the populace so
that a direct attack was made on the po-
lice boxes which were burned. So soon
as the troops arrived from Toxic, the
mob dispersed. Many arrests have been
/ made.

THURSDAY EVENING. SEP. IA, 1905.

PREACHING young people into matri-
mony has been successfully practiced by
Rev. J. w. Nicholson, of the First NJ.
f. Church, in Palmyra, n. ]. Six
young couples, ali attendants of his
church. have linked their fortunes for
life in the last few days, while seven
more couples have announced their en-
gaeements and intention of speedy mar
riage. The sermons which have proved
SO influential in deciding bashful SWANS
to take The plunge and timid young maid
ems TO agree to run in double harness
benceforth, were delivered at Sunday
evening services when the congregations
consisted largely of the younger members
of the flock. As there are between 2OO
and 300 unmarried members of the
church Pastor Nicholson had fruitful
soil for his words to flourish 10, and as
the marriage epidemic seems to be
spreading in his congregation with more
speed than the cholera is in Europe,
there is no telling how many blushing
brides and stammering grooms will pass
over wedding fee to their pastor be-
fore the effects of his stimulating SER
mons have died away. compressed were
many members of the congregation with
the sermons of this aid de camp of Cupid
that they were not doing their duty by
their country in remaining single and
that if they waited much longer the
future prospects of comfortable home
would look blue that II of them hasten
ed to their minister and took the mu-
tual VOWS which made them feel more
comfortable on the score Of home. En-
gagements between IA more young peo-
ple of the town have been announced
within few days, and it is rumored
that number more will be announced
during the coming week.

he wrote: 81 shall now give you the

DIR. Moore, one of the scientists who re-
signed from the department because OF
revelations respecting nitro-culture man

the inventor of soil innoculation. The

one of the things known long before this
