Dr. Shoop's Restorative.

dow, one hand gripping his chin, the other shielding the light from his keen blue eyes. His face, the head covered with iron gray hair, was a fit study for Rem brandt, a Rubens or a Raphael. It was a compromise between Napoleon's at Fon- tainbleau and Ralph Waldo Efnerson's at Concord. When MT. Gray was quite through. MT. Moore took the good man of Winfield by the hand, spoke to him word or two in whisper and led him out of the car In a moment MT. Moore was back and talking to the company.
 MT. Moore's Comment.
 "Gentlemen," said he, in a tone half speech and half whisper. If there is s spark of manhood-a spark of gentleman lness-the faintest fiutrering of the Chris tian spirit in our hearts, we will, each and all of us, accept this gentleman's in- vitatfon. It is now 10:15 o'clock Service begins at 10:30. Let us go at once to the church.
 Thereupon someone in the company re- peated, by way of protest, these lines into Mr. Moore's ears:
 Some keep the Sabbath going to church;
 I keep it staying at home With a bobolink for chorister
 And an orchard for a dome. Some keep the Sabbath in surplice:
 I just wear my wings And instead of tolling the bell for church
 Our little sexton sings.
 God preaches-a noted clergyman
 And the sermon is never long; So instead of getting to heaven at last,
 I am going all along!"
 Come gentlemen said Mir Moore. "and you, sir" said he to the man who had quoted the verses. you and I will lead the procession"
 And they did lead it-and at once to the church.
 At the Church
 The service was as beautiful as it was simple-the sermon brief, sensible. soul ful, strong Heartworship was evident everywhere in the little frame building erected there as temple to the God Of all. And when the collection was taken up the Birmingham men failed not to re- spond-handsomely. When the service was over, each member of the Birmingham company, led by MT. Moore, walked up the aisle. grasped the hand of the min ister and thanked him for the words Of wisdom, truth and goodness he had spoken.
 q should pity the man." said Mir Moore, "who could listen to that sermon and not feel better for having heard it.

PANIC ON MARINE PARADE

Barcelona, Sept. 3.-A bomb exploded with terrific force this evening on the marine parade, which was throngeo with holiday makers.
 A panic ensued and the air was rent with shfieks and groans of the victims who numbered between thirty and sixty, including one woman killed and five persons mortally wounded. The bomb was conical in shape and was covered with cement.
 The perpetrator of the outrage is un- known. One witness states that early this morning a child was seen to de- posit a bomb at tho foot of a tree' while another version is that the homo was placed at the foot of tree this afternoon and that the man who was seen to place it there was injured by its premature explosion.
 After the explosion Panama hats, parasols and wearing apparel were found strewn about, and here and there were spots of blood The detonation was heard throughout the city and the force of the explosion threw coach man from the seat of his carriage hfty wards away. The bomb was filled with nails and scrap iron.
 A workman covered with blood while running away from the scene was pur- sued by a mob. which believed him to be responsible for the outrage, and, being caught. was nearly lynched.
 The man was taken to a hospital, where he denied he had exploded the bornb.

Declares FhGFe hus BSeM MO BuDVMAc F Plague in Panama.
 < Colon, Sept 3.--The report by medi- cal authorities of the canal gone that the death on August % of laborer Employed on the wharf of La Boca was due to bubontc epfague has given rise to much dissatisfaction. Geronimo Ossa, the Ecuadorian consul at Colon, de- clares officially that the report is false and that there have been no additional cases of bubonic plague on the isth- mus.
 The direct result of this reported prevalence of the plague is that Central American and Mexican ports refuse to receive freight sent by way of the isthmus Costa Rica and Nicaragua have been altogether closed to Isthmian ports. Several thousand tons of freight for Central America and Mexico are now tied up on the isthmus and this freight Is increasing with the arrival of every vessel. .----
 Sweeping changes are taking place in the management of the Panama rail- road. H. G. Bierd. who arrived here Thursday from New York, has assumed the duties of Superintendent of the road, and William Rodman, who accom- panied Mir Bierd, has been appointed roadmaster.

Atlantn Refuses to Quarantine Against
 Infected Points.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 3.--The City Board of Health today refused to quarantine aginst yellow fever points. With two of ten members absent the vote stood five to three against putting up the bars, the physician members voting for the motion and the lay members against 1t. Several members of the State Board of Health were present and heard a resolution adopted resenting the censure which they had passed up on the city Board Saturday for alleged neglect in notifying the State authori- ties of the existence of d case of yellow fever in Atlanta.
 The City Board today adopted resolu- tions certifying its faith in Atlanta's climate. never having a death here and never having had a case originate here.
 The authority of the State Board to enforce quarantine within the State, overriding the action of local boards in the matter. has been questioned and it remains to be seen what action the State Board will take to assert its pre- negatives. It Is not likely that Atlan- ta's record of the past will be reversed by quarantining against any fever in fected point.
