Qntyfen Victoria’s Jubilee Was the Subject •of the Minister’s TMwcmirse, and It Was Delivered Before the Chautauqua at * Beatrice, Neb.—An Eloquent Tribute. Text: “What -wilt thou, Queen Esther?” —Esther v., 2L This question'which was asked of a queen thousands of years ago, all civilized na¬ tions are this day asking of Queen Victoria. “What'wilt thou have of honor, of reward or reverence’or service, of national and in¬ ternational acclamation? What wilt thou, the queen of tho nineteenth century?” Tho seven miles of procession through the streets of London will be a small part of the congratulatory procession encircle whose mul-. titudinons tramp will the earth. The celebrative anthems that will sound up from Westminster Abbey and St. Paul’s cathedral in London will be less than the vibration'of one harp string as compared with the doxologies which this hour roll up from all nations in praise to God for the beautiful life and the glorious reign of this oldest queen amid many centuries. From 5 o’clock of the morning of 1837, when the Archbishop of Canterbury addressed tho embarrassed and weeping and almost af¬ frighted girl of eighteen years with the startling words, “your majesty,” until this sixtieth anniversary of her enthronement, the prayer of all good people on all sides of the seas, whether that prayer be offered by the 303,000.030 of her subjects or the larger number of millions who are not her .sub¬ jects, whether that prayer be solemnized in .y bur eh or rolled from great orchestras or poured forth by military bands from forts and battlements and in front of triumphant armies all around the world, has been and is now, “God save the queen.” Amid the innumerable columns that have been printed in eulogy of this queen at the approa »hing anniversary—columns which, put together, would be literally miles long —it seems to me that the chief cause of con- graiulation to her and of praise of God has not vet been properly emphasized, and in many cases the chief key note has not been struck at all. We have been told over and over again what has occurred in the Victo¬ rian era. The mightiest thing she has done has been almost ignored, while she has been honored by having her name attached to individuals and events for whom and for which she had no responsibility. We have put before us the names of potent and grandly useful men and woman who have lived during her reign, but I do not suppose that she at all helped Thomas Carlyle in twisting his involved and mighty satires, Disraeli in * his epi¬ or helped wit, helped issuance Cardinal of New¬ grammatic or man in his crossing over from religion to religion, or helped to inspire the en¬ chanted sentiments of George Eliot and Harriet Martiueau and Mrs. Browning, or helped healthful to invent any of George helped Cruik- shank’s cartoons, or George Grey in founding a British South African empire, or kindled the patriotic fervor with which John Bright stirred the masses, or had anything to do with the invention of the telephone or photograph, or the building up of the science of bae- tenology, or the directing of the Roentgen rays which have revolutionized surgery, or helped in the inventions for facilitating printing and railroading and ocean voyag- iug. One is uot to be credited or discredited for the virtue or the vice, the brilliance or the stupidity of his or her contemporaries, While Queen Victoria has been the friend of all art, all literature, all science, all in- vention, all reform, her reign will be most remembered for all time and all eternity as the of Beginning with that scene at 5 o'clock in the morning in Kensington palace, where she asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to pray for her, and they knelt down, implor- ing divine guidance until this hour, npt only iu the sublime liturgy of her estab- fished church, but on all occasions, shelias directly or indirectly declared, “I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only he- gotten Son.” I declare it, fearless of con- tradiction, that the mightiest champion of Christianity to-day is the throne of Eug- land. The queen’s book, so much critjoised at the time of .its appearance, some it was not skillfully done and some saying that the private affairs of a household • ought not so to have been exposed, was nevertheless a book of vast usefulness from the fact that it showed that God was acknowledged in all her life and that “Kock of Ages” was not an unusual song iu Windsor Castle, Was her son, the Prince of Wales, down with an illness that baffled the greatest doctors of England? Then she proclaimed a day of prayer to Almighty God, and in answer to the prayers of the whole civilized world the Prince got well. Was Sevastopol to be taken and the thousands of bereaved homes of soldiers to bo comforted, she called her nation to its knees, and the prayer was answered. See her walking through the hospitals like an angel of mercy. Was there ever an explosion of fire Wales damp iu the mines of Sheffield or and her telegram was not the first to arrive with help and Christian sympathy? Is President Garfield dying at Long Branch and is not the cable under the sea reaching to Balmoral Castle kept busy in announcing the symptoms of the sufferer? I believe that no throne since the throne ■ of David and the throne of Hezekiah and the throne of Esther has been in such con- slant touch with the throne of heaven as the throne of Victoria. From what I know of her habits she reads the Bible more than she does Shakespeare. She admires the hymns of Horatio Bonar more than she does Byron’s “Corsair.” She has not know- ingly admitted into her presence a corrupt man or dissolute woman. To very distin- •guished novelists and vary celebrated prima donnas she has declined reception because they were immoral. All the com- ing centuries of time cannot revoke the advantages of having had sixty years of Christian womanhood enthroned in the palaces of England. Compare her court surroundings with what were the court surroundings in the time of Henry VIII., or what were the court surroundings in the time of Napoleon, in the time of Louis XVI., in the times of men and women whose names may not be mentioned in decent so- ciety. Alas! for the revelries, and the worse than Belshazzar feasts, and the more than Herodian dances, and the scenes from whicb the veil must not be lifted. You need, however, in order to appreciate the purity and virtuous splendor of Victoria’s reign to contrast it somewhat with the gehennas and the pandemoniums of many of the throne rooms of the past and some of the thronerooms of the present. I call the roll ol the queens of the earth, not that [ would have them come up or comeback, but that I may make them the background of a picture in which I can better present the present septuagenarian, so soon to be an octogenarian, now on the throne of Eng- land, her example all the so scandal thoroughly on the right side that mongers in all the Mations in six decades have not been able to manufacture an evil suspicion in regard to her that could be made to stick; B lean Maria and Joanna of Portugal, Spain, Isabella and or of Catherine ot Kussia, Mary of Saotland, Maria Theresa of Germany, Marie Antoinette of Miss Fronce and all the queens of England, as Strick- land jias put them before us in her charm- Ing twelve volumes, and while some queen may surpass our modern queen in learning, and another in attractiveness of feature, and another in gracefulness of form, and another in romance of history, Victoria surpasses them all in nobility and grandeur and thoroughness of Christian character. I hail her, the Christian daughter, the Chris- tian wife, the Christian mother, the Chris- tian Queen, aud let the ehuroh of God nnd all benign and gracious institutions the world over cry out, as they come with music and Bannered host, and million voiced huzza, and the benedictions of earth and kbaven, “Wiiai. wilt li\ou,Queen Esther?' 1 ’ Anottvwr thing I call to your attention iu thlsdllnstrlous woman's career is that she is a specimen of high life uueorrupted, Wonld she have lived to celebrate the six- tipth anniversary of hereoronntibn and the seventy-eighth anniversary of her birthday had she not been an example of good prln- aiples and good habits? While there have been bad men and women In exalted station and hnmbla station who have carried their vices clear into the seventies and eighties, and even the nineties of their lifetime, suoh persons are very rare. The and majority fewor of roach the vicious die in their thirties, the forties, and they are exceedingly has been source the in the fifties. Longevity not characteristic of the most of those who have reached high places in that or this country. In many cases their wealth leads them into indulgence, or their honors make them reckless, or their op- portunitles of doing wrong are multi- plied into tho overwhelming, and it is astruenowas when the Bible first pro- sented it, "The wicked live not out half their days.” goodness, Longevity it is is not prims a facie positive proof of but evi- dence in that direction. A loose life has killed hundreds of eminent Americans. A loose life is now killihg hundreds of emi- nent Americans and Europeans. The doc- tors are very kind nnd the certificate given arter tho distinguished man of dissipation is dead, says, ‘‘Died of congestion of the brain.” although it was delirium tremens, or‘‘Died of cirrhosis of the liver,” al- though it was a round of libertinism, or “Died of heart failure,”* although it was the vengeance of outraged law that slew him. Thanks, doctor, for yon arc right in saving the feelings of the bereft household by not being more specific, Look.all ye. who are in high plied places of earth, and see one who has wealth been and honor by all the temptations which nnd the secret place of palaces could produce, nnd yet next Tuesday she will ride along in the presence of 7,000,000 people, if they can get within sight of her chariot,in the vigor- ous old age, no more hurt by the splendors that have surrounded her for seventy-eight years than is the plain country woman come down from her mountain home in an oxcart to attend the Saturday marketing, I believe more people die of improper eating than d eof strong drink. The former causes no delirium or violence and works more gradually, but none self-denying the less fatally. Queen Victoria’s habits, and almost ascetic, under a good Providence, account for her magnifleent longevity- It may he a homely lesson for a sexagesimal anniversary in British palaces, but it Is worth all the millions of dollars the cele- brat ion will cost, and the laborious con- vocation of the representatives from all the zones of the planet, if the nations will learn the sanitary lesson of good hours, plain food, outdoor exercise, reasonable absti- nence and common sense habits. That which Paul said to the jailer is just as appropriate for you and for me—“Do thyself no harm.” And hero let me say no pooplo outside of hiTldsqueehs'jubilee tlmn ""he cradles of most of our ancestors were rocked In Great Britain. They played in childhood on the. banks of the Thames 01 the Clyde or the Shannon. Take from mv veins the Welsh blood nnd the Scotch blood, nnd the streams of my life would be a shal- low. Great Britain is our grandmother. Again, this international occasion im presses me with the faet that woman is competent for political government when God calls her to it. Great'ears have been experienced in this country that woman would get the right of suffrage, and as a consequence after awhile reach the chief magistracy. perturbations, Awful! Well, better quiet ; your as you look across the j sea, in this anniversary time, and behold a | woman who for sixty years has ruled over the mightiest empire of all time and ruled ! well. In approval of her government the j hands of all nations are clapping, the flags i of all nations waving, the batteries of all | nations booming. Look here! Men have not made such wonderful success of gov- eminent should that they take need be afrifid that wo- men ever a turn at power. men a mess of it. The most damnably corrupt thing on earth is American politics after men have had it all their own way in this country for 121 years. Other things being equal—for there are fools among women as well as among men—I say other things be- ing equal, woman has generally a keener sense of what is right and what is wrong than has man—has naturally more faith in God and knows better how to make self sacrifices and would more boldly act against intemperance and the social evil, and worst things might come to this coun- try thau a supreme courtroom and a Senate chamber and a House of Representatives in which womanly voices were sometimes heard. We men lmd better drop some of the strut out of our pompous gait and with a little less of superciliousness thrust the thumbs into the sleeves of our vests and be less apprehensive of the other sex, who seem to be the Lord’s favorites from the fact that he has made more of them. If woman had possessed an influential and controlling vote on Capitol hill at Washing- ton and in the English Parliament, do you think that the two ruffian and murderous nations of the earth could have gone on until this time with the butcheries in Ar- menia and Cuba? No. The Christian nations would have gone forth with bread and medicine and bandages and have military relief until Abdul Hamid would had no throne to sit on, and Weyler, the commanding assassin in Cuba, would have been tbrust into a prison as dark as that in which they murdered Dr. Buiz. I do am no advocate whether for female it would suffrage, be and I not know best to have it, but I point you to the queen of Gr eat Britain and the nation over which rules as proof that woman may be politically dominant and prosperity reign, God sa Y e the flueem whether now on the throne in Buckingham palace or in some time to come in American W hite House. But as all of us will be denied attendance on Glat: sixtieth anniversary coronation I Invite you not to the anniversary of a ooro- nation, but to a coronation itself—aye, to two coronations. Brought up as we are, to love as no other form of government that which is republican and democratic, we, living on this side of the sea, cannot so easily as those living on the other side of Gl(; sea appreciate tho two coronations to which all up and down the Bible you and I are urgently invited. Some of you bave such morbid ideas of religion that Y ou think of it as going down into a dark cellar, . or out on a barren common, or as flagellation, lar, palace, when, so far instead from a dark cel- it is a and of a barren common it is a garden, atoss with the brightest fountains that, were ever rain- bowed, and instead of flagellation it is coronation, but a coronation utterly eciips- ing one whose sixtieth anniversary is now being celebrated. It was a great day when, about an of a mile from the gate of Jerusalem, UII- der a sky pallid with thickest darkness, and on a mountain trammeled of earth- quake, and the air on lire with the blas- phemies of u mob, a crown of spikes was put upon the pallid and agonized brow of our Jesus. But that particular coronation, shiv- amid tears and blood and groans and ing cataclysms, made your own corona- tion possible, l’aul was not a man to lose his equilibrium, but when that old mis- sionary, with crooked back and in- flamed eyes, got a glimpse of the crown coming to him, and coming to you, if you wifi by repentance and faith accept it, he went into ecstasies, and his poor eyes flashed aad his crooked back straightened ns he cried to Timothy, "There is iaid up for the me a crown of righteousness,” athletes and to Corinthians, “These run to ‘obtain a corruptible, we an incorruptible,’ crown.” And to the Thessalonians he speaks of “the crown of glory,” and to the Philippians he says, “My joy the and crown.” inspira- The apostle Peter catches lion and cries out, "Ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away,” and St. John joins In the rapture and says, “Faithful to death, and I will give thee a crown of life,” and elsewhere exclaims. ’'Hold fast that no man take thy crown.” Crowns, crowns, crowns! You did not ex- peat in coming here to-dny to be invited to a coronation. You can scarcely believe your own ears, hut in the name of n par- doning God and a sacrificing Christ and an omnipotent. Holy Spirit and a triumphant heaven I offer each one acrown for the ask- ing. Crowns, crowns! How to get tho crown? The way Victoria got her crown, on her knees. Although eight midl¬ esse.i and marquises, all in cloth of silver, carried her traiu. and tho wln- dows and arches and roof of the abbey shook with the‘‘Te Ileum” of the organ in full diapason, she had to kneel, she bad to coma down. To get the crown of kneel, pardon and Vernal life, you will have to you will have to come down. Yea. History says that at her coronation not only tho en- tire asssembly wept with profound emo- tion, but Victoria was in tears. So you will have to have your dry eyes moistened with tears, In your cage tears of repentance, and will tears feel of joy, tears of coronation, you like crying out with Jeremiah, “Oh. that niy head were waters and mine eyes fount- aiiis of tears.” had In all the ages of time no one over SU ch a hard time as Christ while he was on earth. Brambles for His brow, expee- torations for His side, cheek, whips for His back, spearsi for His spikes for His feet, contumely for His name, and even in our time how many say He is no Christ at all, and there are tens of thousands of hands trying to push Him hack and keep Him down.

Cavalrymen Live on Emergency Kations for Ten Days. Colonel Charles Smart of tho medical de¬ partment of the army has just returned to Washington from a trip, during which he made very successful experiments with the emergency ration. He accompanied Cavalry Captain O. J. Brown of the First and forty-four cavalrymen on a march of 210 miles. They left Fort Sill, Oklahoma, May 17, subsisted on full rations two days, and then for ten days depended consisting solely of eight on the emergency ration, ounces hard bread, five ounces coffee, bacon, tab¬ two ounces pea meal, one ounce one let, saccharine, one-fourth ounce tobacco and The portions of traveled salt and pepper. about twenty-ono party day, during which timo the weather miles a was pleasant, except for two days, when it rained. At the end of the expedition the men had lost on an average of three pounds weight, hut tests with the dynamometer showed an average increase of forty pounds in strength.

Herr Yfoolfert, an aeronaut, accompanied by a mechanic named Ivnabe, made an ex¬ perimental ascent in a so-called steering airship from the Tempelhof Common, Ber¬ lin, Germany. When the balloon, which had been filled at the military ballooning establishment, had reached a height of 3000 feet, a loud explosion was heard, and the next moment the balloon was seen to be ablaze. The cur, wliieh was also on fire, detached itself from the burning silx and fell with fearful rapidity to the ground. Both of its occupants were found to be dead. Their bodies were horribly burned. It appears that the benzine used in tho steering gear motor exploded, causing tho disaster. Iowa's Costly Epizootic.

Blankets after the winter use are never clean, and should not he put awny without being washed. Many housekeepers In view of the shrinking and discoloring caused by washing, satisfy themselves with airing and shaking their blankets, but this is a great mistake, for if the work is prop¬ erly done the soft appearance and white¬ ness may be retained for years. The most important consideration in washing blankets is to have plenty cheap of soft water and good soap. An inferior soap is really the cause of the hardens injury done woolen goous In washing, as It and yellows the fibre. When ready to begin the work, shake the blankets free of dust, illl n tub nearly full of soft hot water, and dis¬ solve a third of a cake of Ivory soap in it. Put one blanket in at a time and dip up and down, gently washing with the hands. Never rub soap on blankets, or wash on the washboard. After the blankets are clean, rinse them in warm water until free of suds. Add a little bluing to the last water. Shake and squeeze rather than wring, andliang on the lina until dry. Then fold and pack away in a box securely to exclude the moth. Blankets washed in this way will keep their original freshness and wear very much longer than if put away soiled year after year.
