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. C. S. Owens, Pastor.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
