At the Methodist Church-
The prayer service at the First Meth
jdist church la-t night was quite an
nteresting one The pastor spoke for I
I • minutes upon the subject of “Chris j
ian Joy,” after which a number of the I
congregation made beautiful and help- I
fill talks.
T here were only* 30 persons present I
in this first prayer service of “the week i
of prayer.”
There were only 400 of the members
of the church absent. No doubt all
these could assign some reason for be
ing absent.
A great many were tired and did not
feel like going to church —for all the
poor, tired members of the church I
bow in deep sympathy. Really, 1 think I
they ought to take all the rest they |
can get in this life, seeing that the
high temperature of the atmosphere I
in the next world will not permit them
to rest. Yes, if they-expect to get any
rest, they had better take it here.
This first prayer service was a de
lightful one to many fus When we
thought of the multiplied thousands
of Christian.! in the Methodist church
all over this world praying atthesime
lime, and praying for the same thing
that we were praying for, viz: “A
World Wide Revival,” our hearts were
fi led with joy ; and we said “Lord,
surely Thy Kingdom shall speedily
come ”
Services every night this week. We
renew the invitation to all Christians,
"who really love God, to join n« in this
prayer service.

FEVER IS MALIGNANT.
Larger Percentage of Deaths Than
Usual Reported From Santiago.
Santiago, June 27,—Since the out
break of yellow fever here, there have
been 11 deaths and 35 cases Two new
cases Were reported today and four
deaths The percentage of deaths
show the disease is more malignant
than usual.
The soldiers encamped south of the
city are in good health. There is a
general demand for the large numbers
of American tramps and gamblers here
to be driven out, as they give the Cu
bans a bad idea of the American char
acter. They have established resorts
which are hotbeds of disease and vice.
A dispatch from Havana says:
Undue inportance is being given by
the Cuban press to the row at Cienfue
gos between Americans and the Cuban
police. The trouble began in a house
of ill repute, where the Americans cre
ated a disturbance. The police inter
fered and a fight followed. It is alleg
ed by the Cubans that a guard of sol
diers >n front of the pay office also
fired on the crowd. A passer-by was
bit, dying later. The riot was stopped
by the troops. Two Americans have
been arrested. Au iuvestigatiwft proves
that the affair was merely a drunken
row, though the Cubans claim it indi
cates hostility on the part of Ameri
cans.
The prevalence of disease among
cattle which have arrived here from
Texas is causing a good deal of public
concern. It is said that 2 men in Lu
ayano have been poisoned by eating
the meat of these cattle, and 2 other
cases are reported in Pinairo. A com
mittee of doctors appointed by the sec
retary of public works and agriculture
to examine and report on the disease
declare that the animals are afflicted
with Texas cattle fever, which poisons
the meat and that the deaths reported
were due to eating the flesh of such
cattle Gen. Biooke has ordered the
secretary of public works and agri
culture to make an investigation as
soon as possible and to take measures
to prevent (he importation of infected
cattle.
He Fooled, the Surgeons.
All doctors told Renick Hamilton, of
West Jefferson, 0., after suffering for 18
months from Rectal Fistula, he would die
unless a costly operation was performed;
but be cured himself with five boxes of!
Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, the surest Pile
| cure on Earth, and the best Salve in the
'World. 25 cents a box. Sold by J. N.

It Affected the Tide
The humorist had been tied band
■ and fool and lashed to a pile that pro
: jected a dozen or more feet above the
water at low tide, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
He had dared to perpetrate an orig
inal joke, and the Paragraphers’ Amal
gamated Union had decreed his death.
In vain he wriggled.
The cruel waters were rising beneath
him. The tide was coming in.
“I’m afraid,” he murmured, as he
looked down and noticed that the lit-
I tie waves were lapping at his shoe,
“I’m afraid that one tied will not af
fect another.” And he laughed harsh
ly “Any.vay,” he added a moment
later, “I’ll stick to my post ”
The tide rose faster, It was at his
knee, his waist, elbow, and neck!
Just as it reached his chin he gave
a final glance across the waves and
muttered :
“Well, it seems to be up to me now.’
Whereupon the tide turned and ran
out.
He was saved

Good Advice to Negroes
It would be well for the negroes of
i the south if they would heed some of
the advice given them by Booker
Washington. In an elaborate resume
of the race question and lynching, af
ter arguing that lynch law is wrong
and appealing to the whites in the
matter, he says •
“But there is still another side, the
white man in the south has not only a
serious duty and responsibility, but
the negro lias a duty in this matter.
In speaking to my own people I want
to be equally frank, but I speak with
the greatest kindness There is too
much crime amongst us. The figures
for a given period show that in the
United States 30 per cent of the crime
committed is by negroes, while we
constitute only about 12 per cent of
the entire population. This holds
good not only in the south, but also in
northern states and cities. No race
that is so largely ignorant and so re
cently out of slavery could perhaps
show a better record, but we must face
these plain facts. He is most kind to
the negro who tells him of his faults
as well as of his virtues. A large
amount of the crime among us grows
out of the idleness of our goung men
and women. It is for this reason that
I have tried to insist upon s nie in
dustry being taught our young people
in connection with their course of
literary training.”
Professor Washington concludes his
paper by appealing to school teachers,
ministers and the press to arouse such
a sentiment regarding the committing
of crime against women that no such
crime will be charged against any
member of the race. He says the ne
gro has among the southern whites as
good friends as he has anywhere in
the world and advises him to stay here
and work out his salvation.
Supreme Court Decisions.
Since Chas. O. Tyner began the manu
facture of Tyner’s Dyspepsia Remedy,
many people have inquired as to its effica
cy. Chief Justice Bleckley, of Georgia,
has tried it for indigestion and dyspepsia,
and gives this as his decision :
“Atlanta, Ga., March 14, 1894.—Chas.
O. Tyner, Atlanta, Ga.: I have used, and
am now using, Tyner’s Dyspepsia Reme
dy. It is a mental as well as a physical
elixir. With its aid and a pair of specta
cles I can frequently see the law in spite '
of unsuitable or too much diet.
"Louan E Bleckley.”
This is a splendid decision and people
are profiting by it.

Oldest Woman In the World.
One of the oldest tribes that once in-
I habited southern California was the
Tanche. Today the remnant of the thou
sands they once could raise are a misera
ble five, who squat, tolerated, but not
invited, upon the land their forefathers
had owned. Yet these five would possess
a distinction if their case were only
known, for the oldest is the oldest wo
man in the world, and the youngest is
almost a marvel of longevity.
The grandmother is now 145 years of
age, her oldest child Is 120, and her
grandchild, the youngest of tin; quintet,
is 98. Their united ages are considera
bly over 600, a record equaled by no oth
er family on record. The old grand
mother, whom courtesy denominates liv
ing, is sleeping out her second century.
She wakens only to take nourishment.
Her hair is ns white as carded wool,
and her flesh has wasted away from in
activity until nothing but the skin and
bone remain. They have to lead her
when she walks, her appearance remind
ing the stranger of the sorceress “She’*

Ants Eat the Fnper Money.
Paper money cannot be used in the
■ Philippines. The islands are infested
with ants, which eat almost everything,
and are patieularly fond of paper.
In a recent shipment of money for the
i troops was $1,000,000 in paper money of
small denominations, and preparations
were being made to send more paper in
the next shipment, when a warning wa
given that hereafter nothing but. gold
and silver coin must be sent to the is
lands.
It was stated that ants got into the
boxes and attacked the packages f bills,
which ware saved from destruction only
by the greatest care. As far as officials
here know none of the money was actual
ly destroyed, the damage done being
probably no more serious than the eating
away of the edges of notes or perhaps
' making holes through some of them.
