Long before the time for service last

song. Help Somebody Today" And
this Is a characteristic hymn Of the
meeting. The spirit In the very at
mosphere under the tent is helpful
ness. which is %permeating the whole

one happy conversion resulted.

pie how to live the higher Christian

produce more revenue than the Re- VubGCann law The strongest argu- ment advanced when Mr.. Underwood waa urging the bin that bore his name was that there would be under the DemocratiG law an increase of imports and consequently aI inerea of revenue to the government.
 We have just seen that value Of lhe imports increased consider ably over half a billion dollars in thirty-three months, but the revenue did u0, increase. on the contrary 1t seriously decreased.
 The customs duties collected dur ing the last thirty+Gnres months under the Payne tariSt amounted to $SG3,111,O75, while during the first thirty+hrea months of the Underwood tariff they dropped to a total of S629,756,431. This loss of revenue, amounting to $2SS,- S54,644, made necessary the so- called war taxes, whfch have been named deficiency revenue taxes and now that these have been drop ped as g political expedient jusb be- fore election, win undoubtadly re suit in the sale of Panama canal bonds-saye6 through ReDubhcan thrift-to supply tho deficiency, un der the plea that the Mexican trouble caused the extra expense.

The Three Scutaris.

There are three places named Scutari one tn Albania. one opposite to Con- stantinopIe and oue in southern Greece. It Is curious that each name comes from a different original form. The Greek Scutar4 Is otherwise Scatari, the Albanian one Is the Illyrian scodra, and the Asiatic one is the Turkish Us- kudar. This last means q courier carrying royal orders from station to station and commentaries the fact that this place, the ancient Chrysopo- lis or City of Gold was the starting point of the Asiadc eOuriers.
