Rest in Christ.

Coming to Christ, we enter into the
rest of faith. The very act OF trust
brings tranquility, even when the per-
son or thing trusted in is human or
creatural, and therefore uncertain.
For to roll the responsibility from my
self, as it were, upon another brings re-
pose; and they who lean upon CErists
strong arm 90 not need to FEAR, though
their own arm be very weak.
The rest : Of faith, when We cease
from having to take care Of ourselves,
when we can cast all the gnawing cares
and anxieties that perturb us upon
Him, when We can say, Thou dosr
undertake for me, and leave myself
in Thy hands" is tranquility depeer
and more real than any other that the
heart of man. can conceive. Thou wilt
keep him in perfect peace whose mlnd
is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth
in Thee"
Cast yourself upon Christ, and live
in that atmosphere OF calm confidence:
and though the surface may be tossed
by many a storm, the depths will be
peace subssting at the heart OF end.

BRAVE ACT REWARDED.
President Remembers North Carolin.
ian Who Defended Postoefice
Against Burglars.

AS a reward for defending the post

against four burglars, President
Roosevelt has waived the civil service
regulations on the recommendation Of

promotion from a laborer to a clerk
ship in the department.
Not only has the brave North Caro-
linian been promoted, but to accen-
tuate the honor al official statement
was issued Tuesday, which gives a full
account of the deed. The attemptei
robbery took place on the night Of
February S. 1901, and the Official ac'
count says:
after tie store in which the post
office at Emma is located closed for
the night, Mr. Alexander, who had

toI that some one living near wanted
bis mail, AID he unbarred the door.
1.-TWO masked men entered, covered
him with revolvers and commanded
him to giyc up his own revolver ana
open. the fireproof safe. While one
of the burglars, Frank Johnson, who
had laid his revolver on the desk near
the safe, was STOPPING in the act OF
looting the safe, and during a moment
when the other burglar, Ben Foster,
had his head turned, Alexander seized
the idle revolver and shot the latter
near the heart. He attempted to
shoot Johnston also, but failed to
do so, as the revolver snapped.
"A desperate struggle followed. Fos-
ter, although seriously wounded, pur-
sued Alexander and shot him in the
abdomen, the bullet coming out ut
the back. Alexander, seeing Foster
about. to shoot at him again, swung
Johnson around so that the bullet
struck Johpson's left shoulder from
the rear, passed through his neck and
lodged in his right jaw, from which 1t
was extracted. Alexander's face and
hands we're badly cut and bruised be.
fore he overpowered the burglars.
alexander managed, however, TO
put them both out of the building, to
call out signal Of distress and then
tainted. The postmaster, hearing the
signal, came to Alexander's relief and
found him lying weak and faint in
pool of blood.
His bravery is the more aecen.
tuated when it is known that Mr.. Alex
ander is a man of small stature, prob
ably not moro than 5 feet 6 inches
tall and weighs less than 125 pounds.
1t would seem that he must have
been possessed of almost superhuman
strength to oust the two despera-
does from the postofice Two accom-
plices who were waiting on the out
side carried away the wounded bur
glars to a house, in which they were
arrested the same night.
"The two burglars above mentioned,
with two accomplices, after trial were
given the extreme penalty of the law,
which for the offense committed in
the state of North Carolina is death.
Afterwards the sentence was com.
muted in the case of two of the bur-
glars to life Imprisonment, The other
two were hanged on February 26,
1902"

THE DAY IN THE SENATE
The Session Divided Between Meat In
spection and Antitrust Laws-SIo-
fiOn to Send Agricultural Bill to
Conference Cause Debate on tke
Meat Inspection Clause.

Washington, June 23-The hours Of
today's session of the senate previous
ID the closing of the doors for execu
tive business were divided between the
discussion of the meat inspection pro-
vision Of the agricultural appropriation
bill and resolution by Senator Long
calling upon the attorney general fO1
information concerning the suits
brought by him under the antitrust
laws.
The meat inspection debate occurred
on a motion by Senator Proctor to send
the agricultural bill to conference anG
after speeches by Senators Bailey,
Warren and Gallinger that motion was
adopted. Mr.. Bailey declared the house
inspection provision unconstitutional;
Mr.. Warren deefnded the interests OF
the stock growers, and Mr.. Gallinger
urged the necessity for close inspec-
ton at the expense of the packers.
The Long resolution was amended at
the instance of Senator'S Foraker and
Bacon, but it's consideration was not
concluded Senator Foraker again took
advantage of the consideration of this
subject to express his disapproval Of
the railroad rate bill, saying the failure
of the measure in conference would
prove a God send to the country. The
sundry civil appropriation bill was
sent to conference and another confer
ence report on the naval bill, leaving
only one item of disagreement to be
acted upon
A number of bills to which there
was no objection were passed late in
the day after the executive session.

HAD ROUGH EXPERIENCE
Tinted States Monitor Florida Arrives
at Hampton Roads With Large
Body of Shipmen on Board.

Norfolk, Va, June 23.-The United
States monitor Florida arrived in
Hampton Roads this afternoon, after
an exciting experience at sea. The
ship left Annapolis several days ago
with a large batch of midshipmen for
cruise at sea and in Chesapeake bay.
While off Solomon Island the big ship
lost one propeller and broke blade Of
another.
In this crippled condition the Florida
headed for the Roads and managed to
creep in this afternoon. A tug from
the navy yard here was sent to tow the
monitor to the navy yard, but Com
mander Charles W. Bartlett, declined
to accept the proffered assistance until
he receives orders from Washington.
Late this afternoon the Florida moved
up towards Newport News and drop
ped anchor off the shipyard.
The vessel will probably be towed to
this yard tomorrow and the midship-
men aboard will be transferred to one
of the other ships engaged in the
cruise, or will be quartered on board
the receiving ship Franklin until the
repairs to the Florida are completed.

CORNELL THE VICTOR
Won the Honors in Annual Regatta of
the Inter- Collegiate Rowing AssOcia-

tested.

Poughkeepsie, n Y. June 23.-Cor-
nell again won the honors in the an
nual regatta of the inter collegiate
rowing association held here today over
the historic mile course on the Hud-
son river The red and white crews
were first in the Varsity eight, the
open intercollegiate championship OF
the year, and the Varsity fours. Syra-
cuse won the eight-oared event for
freshmen crews, Cornell being second.
The races were decided between thun-
derstorms, particularly heavy one oc-
curing just before the Varsity eights
were scheduled to start. The racing
shells of several of the crews were so
filled with water that it was necessary
to have them pumped out and this de-
layed the send away until 6:19 O'Clock
in the evening. -
Exactly 10 minutes, So As seconds
laters the sturdy Cornell crew raced
by the judges boat a winner by nearly
two lengths Almost bow to bow,
and stroke for stroke. the crews Of
Pennsylvania and Syracuse were fight
ing it out for second position. 1t was
the prettiest struggle seen here for
years, and almost in the last sweep
of the oars Pennsylvania forged a few
feet ahead. Syracuse was ten lengths
in front of Wisconsin with Columbia
four lengths further in the rear, and
Georgetown bringing UP the rear.
Between Cornell, Syracuse and Penn
sylvania, the race was a stiff one
throughout After two of the four
miles of the course had been covered.
Syracuse spurted to almost even terms
with Cornell. DOggedly they tried TO
hold level with the Ithacans and It was
this early struggle that caused the men
in the orange boat to fail just at the
last moment when Pennsylvania chal-
lenged
In the 4-oared race won by Cornell,
Syracuse was second, Columbia third,
and Pennsylvania last.
In the freshman race Syracuse was
followed across the line oy Corneli,
Wisconsin, Columbia, and Pennsyl-
vania. Again in the latter contest, the
fight for second place was the real
struggle Of the race. Wisconsin came
within the heel of nipping Cornell in
the last few yards OF the race.
