In Address at Union Iron Works Gillett
Reviews His Labor Record.

At the Union Iron Works yesterday
noon, James n. Gillett, Republican
nominee for Governor. addressed a
large gathering of working gmen, who
listened interestedly to the candidate S
speech, which was largely an exposi-
ton of his stand on the labor ques-
ton. Mr. Gillett reviewed IN detail
his record In Congress rs an exponent
of LEGISLATION which would tend TO i'm
prove the. condition of the working
men and spoke particularly OF his ad-
vocacy OF measures which applied es-
sentially to the furthering of the ship

ever in the Republican faith. Repub-
lican voters do not hold Gillett re-
sponsible for convention methods,
grown gray in the service and dragged
out again at Santa Cruz, and will not
hold him responsible for them at the
polls on Tuesday.
GILLETTS CLEAN RECORD.
Gilletts record in Congress rs such
as to commend him to every Republi-
can and to many conservative Demo-
Gratis who have seen their party, the
plaything of destructive leaders, drift
away into Socialism Another thing
that must recommend Gillett TO the
voters of all parties is the character OF
his campaign Is has been clean. pro-
gressive and constructive. IT did him
no harm and much good. And II war
ranted the enthusiasm shown by the
party leaders
COOK THE EXCEPTION.
It is deemed probable by Republi-
can leaders that Gillett will be elected
by a plurality large enough to enable
him to carry with him practically all
of his ticket. except Carroll Cbol1, can
didate for presiding Judge of the First
District Court of Appeals. Gillett's as
sociates on the State and district tick
ct, with the. exception of Cook, are en-
titled to the support of their party.

Bishop Charles c. McCabe has long
been famous man in the Methodist
church. He is fighter and has cross
ed swords on many occasions with
such men as DR.. Buckley on matters
Of church policy. AS young n4n Ne
was chaplain OF the one Hundred and
Twenty-second Ohio infantry during
the civil war. He was taken prisoner
at the battle OF Winchester and spent
four months in Libby prison. In 1868
he became agent for the Church Exten-
sion society and made a tremendous
record by travelling all over the coun-
try organizing churches. AS secretary
OF the Methodist Episcopal Missionary
society he called for "a. million for mis-
sions" and then set out TO get 1t. He
visited church after church and by
ringing appeals drew money from the
worshipers. In 1896 he was elected
bishop. Though now seventy years old,
his faculties are unimpaired.~-M. A. r.

We share each others sorrows. We
live IN each others joys. We go hand

says; IF you only obey me and be-
come pure, as would have you pure,
together we shall live In holy fellow
ship. We shall be friends. We shall
dwell together as friends forever and
ever and ever. We are made in the
same image"
Now, my friends, are we ready to
obey Gods will and become like unto
himself through the redemption and
the blood OF Jesus Christ? We have
been talking about man as God first
created him in his purity and SIMPLE
ity. But sin has come into the world
and so malformed us that we are far
from perfect. The divine image Is soil
ed and incrusted with the mire OF sin.
AS we say of man who has yielded
to the power of drink that his mother
would scarcely recognize in the sodden.

she cherished In infancy, SO we do not
see Gods Image in the sinful man; but,

he says, too, that they who behold "as
in mirror the glory of the Lord are
changed into the same image" so the
image that is overlaid or lost is re-
stored or brought to light by Christ.
Christ says, Eye are my friends IL We
do whatsoever command you" That
means, you shall again be stamped in
my image il you will accept my atone
ment and my love and sacrifice" VIII
you do it? VIII you today throw your.
self upon his mercy and become pure
as he is pure. and dwell with him OF
earth and dwell with him forever and

will accept him, for God will recreate
you in his own spiritual image. "SC

SHOSHONE FALLS.

Second Among the Great Catsracts
OF the New World.
With a sheer drop OF 90 feet, which
Is fifty feet greater than the height OF
Niagara, the Shoshone falls, In Idaho,
stand second among the great cataracts
OF the new world
The region is one OF plunging waters.
Within a length of fifteen miles the
Snake river leaps down series OF
giant steps until it has dropped q clean
$50 feet.
Shoshone fails form the highest of
these leaps. -Four miles above them
are Twin falls, divided by n great
cleaving promontory of rock.
Eleven miles below Shoshone is an
other drop. OF 1870 feet this time, called
Augur falls. a hundred miles below
are Swan falls, and so IL goes.
The cataracts are not the only nat
ural wonders of this region. The can
yons are comparable only to the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado In places they
are even deeper than the great chasm
farther south.
Years ago Bancroft said OF this part
Of the country, Taken altogether, it is
the most grand, wonderful, romantic
and mysterious part of the domain in
closed within the federal Union"
At one time the cataract region was
set apart by the government as a ma
tional park, but the act providing for it
has been repealed. The enormous wa
ter power is 10 be used for irrigation.
Perhaps the beauty OF the falls will
suffer, but $40 square miles of sand
and sagebrush In one tract alone Will
give place TO rich harvests, and the
jack rabbits will move out In favor of
a million human beings who can find
homes there.
1t is time for Aladdin to go way back
and sit down. Twentieth century en-
gineers accomplish marvels which make
his old lamp back number. Take the
tunnel which has been cut through 400
feet OF solid rock and through which
an industrial Niagara will generate al
most unlimited power.
Every bit OF machinery for the plant
and many OF these bits weigh theu-
sands OF pounds-was hauled by six
horse teams over thirty miles OF crowd

Of the method employed in making the

1t forms a circular shaft fourteen feet
in diameter. piercing the solid rock at
an angle OF forty-fve degrees.
Already the knell OF the sagebrush
and jack rabbits has struck In Snake
river valley. April /, 1905, the water
was turned on 10000 acres near Sho-
shone falls. One hundred days later
the reapers were at work gathering In
the first crop.
The soil OF these valleys Is OF vol
canic ash and will produce sixty bush
els OF wheat to the acre, or, IL you pre-
fer 1t, apples which bring 81 bushel
in London. With all this gain, more
over, 1t is said that the Snake river
has water enough for both purposes. 1t

The Greatest Love.

You remember how tenderiy Jesus
impressed this idea on his disciples.
He told them that the union between
his nature and that of his people was
as close as that of the vine and its
branches. And again he returned to
the thought in that last solemn hour
of his parting before he suffered.
Christ is about to leave his disciples.
The shadows of the cruciaxion are
falling over him. He looks on the men
who had sat at his feet SO often in the
past and speaks these beautiful words:
Greater love hath no man than this
that man lay down his life for his
friends. Ye are my friends if We do
whatsoever / command you. Hence
forth l call you not servants, for the
servant knoweth not what his Lord
doeth, but l have called you friends,
for all things that l have heard OF my
Father l have made known to you"
Cannot you, my brother, interpret
these sentences in the language Of
your own life? You go and hire a
servant in your kitchen. She may be
very good and faithful, but she is not
your friend. She cooks your meals, she
cleans your room, but she does not en-
ter the holy of holes of your heart.
You do not tell her your secrets. You
DO not let her become part of your
most sacred joys. But II is SO different
with your intimate friends. 1t is diff
ierent with the relationship which ex-
ISIS between father and son or
husband and a wife. In that holy re-
lationshlD we live In the closest union

greatest Of all Glovers difficulties, has been
overcome. and he is now In Europe He is
twenty-five years old and a very muscular
young man. On July Is. 1905, he defeated
&. D. Graham in a swimming contest on
the lower rapids of Niagara river. He will
begin practicing long swims in the English
channel. endeavoring first to learn the cur
rents before he undertakes to swim across
It. Glover started to swim when he was
very young. and at the age of thirteen
years swan a distance of twelve miles,
Prof George Kistler of the University of
Pennsylvania Is also in Europe, but has
never yet made the attempt. although he
has a long record Of notable swimming
feats to attest his qualifications. Kistler is
an Englishman, but has lived in Philadel
phia many years. In 1887 Kistler won the
mile championship of the world, competing
with Beckwith of London. who held the
championship for number Of years. In
the "all comers' 1OOO-yard dash race of
England, which is held annually and which
is open to the world, Kistler took part
every year from 1880 to 1902, taking many
firsts. although competing with the best
swimmers of England and occasionally IA
nous foreigners. Peter 8. McNally. the
noted Boston swimmer. has sailed for Eu-
rope with his trainer and companion to
break the great swimming records of back
history, and he hopes to excef Capt. Webb's
feat Of swimming the channel.

The failure OF the national association to
corral all the big guns of the aquatic world
has enthused the local committee consider
ably. and they are confident that their list
of entries viii be larger and the regatta
finer in every respect than the one yester-
day at Worcester. They will secure Greer

of a time limit and who is more than anx-
