and others At Cawnpore, In India,
there is we'll, enclosed by wall Of
white marble about twenty feet high
and ffty-seven PAGES in circumference.
On the stone that covers The well is in
scribed these words: SACRED to the
perpetual memory Of great company
of Christian people, chiefly women and
children, cruelty massacred near this
spot by the rebel Mana Sahib. and
thrown the dying with the dead, into
the well beneath, on the 18th day OF
July, 1857" In the centre of the en-
closure is sculptured angel Of resur-
rection with illumined face, and hold
ing high two palm branches, meaning
victory. To-day we remember Paul
with admiration, but Nero with dis
gust. The future pages OF history will
condemn the Sultan Of Turkey, but
uphold the Armenian Christians The
land, which the blessed Christ has
trod, shall yet become as the Garden
Of Eden. Jesus Christ is coming back
to the earth. Oh, blessed thought!
VIII. The palm tree is a type OF
Heaven. The weary traveller in desert
lands looks forward to the palm tree
with great joy, for it promises him
food and shelter overhead, and wells
Of water underneath. The first thing
of interest in the promised land was
the city of Palm Trees. 1t was en-
ployed in the real temple Of Solomon,
and in the visionary temple of Ezekiel.
Both Simon and Judas Maccabes en-
tered Jerusalem after their victories,
bearing palm branches. Solomon COW
cred all the walls of the Holy of Holes
round about with palm trees to indi-
cate it's heavenly connection, and being
honored by the ministration Of angels.
The Christian pilgrim looks forward
with JOY to the time when he shall "sit
down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
in the Kingdom of God" to eat Of the
Tree Of Life and drink of the Water of
Life. The Christian has home in q
city, where they need not the light Of
the sun, where the walls are jasper.
and the streets gold, and each one Of
the twelve gates a pearl. A city,
where there is no cemetery, for there is
no sickness, pain, nor death. A city,
where they need no policeman, for all
is peace and perfect love. He shall
have a new name, white robe,
crown upon his brow, and better than
all else, he shall have a palm in his
hand. Oh, who would not be Chris
tian? Someone says, "Why?" Why?
s"The righteous shall flourish like the
palm tree

PACKERS WHO WANT FIGHT
ARE PRETTY SURE TO GET IT
-SECRETARY WILSON
Head of Department of Agriculture in Chicago Finds
Meat Men Disposed to Evade Provisions of
inspection Law.

CHICAGO, July 9.-Another clash Is
imminent betW cen President Roosevelt
and the packers. This came to light
today when Sectetary Wilson, of the
Department of Agriculture. having
established himself at the Auditorium
with the staff of experts whom ne has
brought here 10 revise the meat inspec-
tioH bureau. gave out an interview in
which he expressed IN measured terms
his disappointment" at the grudging
spirit in which. ne sad. the Chicago
packers are meeting the demand for
reform.
He went further and questioned the
sincerity of their declaration that they
wanted Government inspection. He
said dryly. that il looked 10 him as II
they wanted another fight" and then
he let II be known that the Govern
ment was ready 20 give them one rather
than accept any hGn-Way measures In
the ameiiOration OF conditions surround
ing the meat inquiry.
Indirectly. the report Of the Manufac-
turers' Association is responsible for
the situation. Ever since its publication
Saturday the secretary and his depart
ment head have been making a close
study of Il line by line. They found 1t
anything but a 'whltewash." They ex-
pected TO discover evidence that these
plants were being made 10 equal the
abattoIrs abroad They found apparent
~ petty economy instead
Failed to Learn Lesson.
1T seems to me that the packers OF
Chicago have not yet learned their les
son. said the Secretary. This report
Of the experts returned by the Illinois
Manufacturers Association and the Chi
cago Commercial Association, IS eloquent
Of their evaslons. It seems 20 us that
tho packers have had ample time, II
thoy were so disposed. 10 launch much
greater improvements, for instance In
their sanitary conditions OF their plants
There viii be no controversy between
the Government and the packers Ihat
won't be necessary IN the event that
thcv object TO our close inspection OF
their canned products, for instance
there will be no label forthcoming. That
II all there IS 20 it."
The Secretary today is presiding over
