A Beverly (Mass.) correspondent of j Newspaperdom writes to that publica- ,, '* on ^us: The pastor of the Dane , „ Street ^ Lon- f'^ation Church Rev F. J. Van i Horn, before coming to Beverly, was located out in Ohio, and became mi- bued with some of the Western hustle, and he rather astonished his good New England deacons one Sunday, when he informed them that he wanted $100 to spend in advertising. In making this request lie said there was no reason why, Instead of 100, they should not have 500 people present at the eve £i n g serv ice at the'churdh. On the following Saturday the advertising matter appeared; but there Is still a suspicion that the pastor paid for It himself, for awhile at least. At first he began with flyers and printed cards, which were left at the homes and scat- tered about the streets. Then be would vary it with a quarter-sheet poster luuig in the store windows, each announcing his subject for the following Sunday evening,and Inviting the public to come and hear him. These subjects were never sensational, iior were his sermons. The result of (Ids advertising began to show in an increasing attendance at the meetings, and a count was made every Sunday and the number announced the follow¬ ing Sunday. So well did the plan work that af the next annual parish meet- ing it was voted to take a collection at the Sunday evening service, and allow the Itev. Mr. Van Horn to take it for his own use in advertising and for securing special musical talent for the services. About this time, now nearly two years ago, he abandoned the flyers, and took a six-inch space in the Evening Times on Saturday, and has continued it ever since. We give him a special position across the top of the fifth page, one inch deep, and people now look as regularly for his announcement as they do for the local news in the paper. The result of this advertising, together with the very practical sermons that he preaches, is that instead of the five hundred that he hoped to get out at the services, the number more fre¬ quently reaches 1,500 and Is seldom less than 1,000.

G EORGE HERRON A MAN WHQ IS AT PRESENT IN THE PUBLIC EYE, H© Is Preaching: Christlilco Christianity and Has Stirred Up the Friends of So Called “Vested nights’’—The New > Dispensation. j Professor George Herron, whose I j teachings in Iowa Cpllege have caused | j a* demand for his resignation and | whose (lie Christiike Christianity has faetion- split j friends of the college into ! a l )ar< ^ -ies, is without doubt the most prominent Christian in America. He 18 of a type that is common enough in England, but his peculiar notions of the rich man and the eye of the needle i are novel to Americans. Dr. Herron is slight in stature and was not strong as a child, but he is possessed of a Paul- ian spirit, and, right or wrong, as may be his views, his sincerity is questioned by no one. Dr. Herron first brought 1 himself into public notice by articles published in several religious periodi- cals, among them an address in the Christian Union, entitled “The Mes- sage of j esus t0 Men of Wealth.” Tills was afterward used as a booklet by the Christian Society. At this time Dr. ] terron was pastor of a small church In an obscure town In Minnesota. He W\ w V I h W . §j|P®|||g . mm mm. V S; mm- ' wmSL j G s 7/ \ A & v w ;; l St ■ I m (/i Vi PROF.

He was installed in Burlington in 1891, and from that time his name became nationally famous. In 1893 Dr. Herron was made professor of applied Christianity in Iowa Col¬ lege (Congregational), which was en¬ dowed for him by Mrs. E. D. Rand of Burlington. Since his appointment to this chair Dr. Herron has lectured in many cities and has written freely along his lines of thought.

She has braved the perils and dangers incident to life in Alaska, having for six years traded with the Kenitseys and other Cook inlet tribes, and she has delved for the riches in the golden tributaries of Turnagain arm. She was successful as an Indian trader, and has already ae- cumulated a fortune at mining, being still the possessor of some of the best claims In the golden north. Mrs. White rescued three of the crew of the British ship Fernctale. For this act of heroism congress awarded her a gold medal.

Scientific Experiments Give Rise to Ab¬ surd Stories. (From the Literary Digest.) The popular notion that the eyes of the dead sometimes retain complete images of scenes that have been en¬ acted before them at the moment of death has received fancied confirma¬ tion in late years by experiment, and there are some who, from reading care¬ less or exaggerated accounts of these experiments, might get an impression that science had placed upon this no¬ tion the stamp of approval. The fol¬ lowing note from the Lancet (London) gives us the very small modicum of truth that is the basis of all such stories. It says: "Under the title of ‘In Dead Eyes’ an evening contempo- rary recently made a statement which carries its own confutation with it. It is to the effect that a physician and en¬ thusiastic photographer, being desir¬ ous of testing the amount of truth in the theory that dead eyes retain com¬ plete images, had carefully examined the eyes of hundreds of dead people, and, though he had never seen any¬ thing like a distinct picture mirrored, he had certainly distinctly traced both letters and objects on the iris of the eye, and that when the photographic test was applied, these images be¬ came visible. In one case a capital letter of peculiar form was shown which could he traced to a testament held in the hands shortly before death. In another case a numeral was dis¬ tinctly pictured, which was traced to a clock face in the room. The article in question continues: ‘The chief sci¬ entific paper of Franca only the other day gave full particulars of a case where a woman who died in one of the hospitals had tw r o numbers, 10 and 45, mirrored in the iris of her eyes.’ These absurd stories originate in the well- known experiments of Kuhne on the visual purple of the retina, in the course of which he showed that by making special arrangements, the crossbars of a window focused on the retina could be brought into relief. The enthusiastic photographer, if he be not misquoted, ought to have known that no well-defined images of the external world are cast upon the iris, and none, therefore, could be pre¬ served. The surface of the iris is far too uneven to act as a mirror. More¬ over, as no arrangements were made to prevent the further action of light after death, they would, if formed, be certainly obliterated as the image on a photographic plate would be if per¬ manently exposed. The only mode in which an image impressed on the retina could be rendered visible would be to adopt the method of Kuhne, namely, by exposing the eye previously kept in the dark for a minute or two to an illuminated object, then extir¬ pating it, opening it, and immediately plunging it into a solution of alum. The image develops in the course' of twenty-four hours.” Wh»t Britons Spend on Smoking. Great Britain spends on tobacco and pipes about £14,000,000 every year. A GREAT TRAVELER. BURTON HOLMES A LOVER OF NATURE'S WONDERS. How Ho C»roe to Take Up the Profes¬ sion of Lecturer—-Something: About the Man and lits Career—Ul» Work uh a Camerlat. The lectures of Burton Hoimes on the Hawaiian islands attracts public attention in no small degree to Mr. Holmes himself. Burton Holmes is.a native of Chicago, in which city he re¬ ceived his early education. His grand¬ father, Stiles Burton, was'one of Chi¬ cago’s wealthiest citizens before* the fire and it was from him, he being a great traveler, that Mr. Hoimes inher¬ ited his globe-trotting predilections, as well as his literary tastes. While still quite a youth, his health not being of the best, it was deemed advisable for him to pursue his further education in the broad and liberal school of for- eign travel • rather than to subject hfs health to the strain incidental to the confinement of the school room. Ex¬ tended tours to the principal Euro¬ pean cities and to Japan restored his health and further confirmed his taste for travel. Even at this early period in his life he manifested a marked aptness and ability as a photographer, and it is to this that his present career is im- m Mil ■M ;V : ^ |9 BURTON HOLMES. mediately traceable, as on his return from Japan with the photographic re¬ sults of his trip, he was invited by the Chicago Camera Club, of which he was a member, to relate the adventures and incidents of his wanderings in Japan, his remarks to be illustrated by photographs of his own taking. This was seven years ago. So great was the success of this impromptu lecture that he was urged to repeat it several times for charity. During the next summer he again went abroad and upon his return, although the wealth of his family made it unnecessary, he decided to give a lecture for his own benefit. This met with a most enthusiastic re¬ ception, it being necessary to repeat it a number of times in Chicago, while he was invited by a number of charity organizations to give it in surrounding cities, in all of which he was most warmly received. In this way Mr. Holmes finally decided to adopt the lecture platform as his profession. This is the sixth year of his profes¬ sional career, he now being 29 years of a&e. Not only is he firmly established in the West, but it is his second sea- son in Boston, Brooklyn and New York, where he gives the annual Lent¬ en matinee lectures for so many years given by Mr. Stoddard. For a number of years Mr. Stoddard has manifested great interest in Mr. Holmes, often be¬ ing his fellow traveler. On his re¬ tirement, through his kindness, he in¬ troduced Mr. Holmes in a number of eastern cities as his successor, a title which the younger gentleman seems to have worthily sustained Treating: Himself. The Parisian critic M. Jules Claretie narrates in the Athenaeum an amus¬ ing story of the elder Dumas: At the height of the great novelist’s vogue he could not turn out books fast enough to satisfy his clamoring publishers, and it became necessary for him to employ collaborators, to whom he sketched the plot, perhaps leaving them to do the rest. Among the most distinguished was M. Paul Meurice, who is still liv¬ ing and writing in Paris at an advanc¬ ed age. Thus it came about that M. Meurice was the author of one of the most amusing novels of Dumas, “Les Deux Dianes.” Dumas, when traveling, found this novel in a hotel, and opened it to pass away the time. He began reading it seriously, got interested in it and was amused. Presently some one came to his room and found him with “Les Deux Dianes” in his hand. “What are you doing there, dear mas¬ ter?" “I am reading,” said Dumas, “a novel of my own, which I did not know and which pleases me vastly!” It was Dumas who said, when left to himself, “I am never bored when I have my own company.” It is easy to see that he was not more so when he had tjjat of others—and did not know it. Misslng Coins. It is estimated that there are 199,- 900,000 old-style copper pennies some- where. Nobody’knows what has be- come of them, says the Philadelphia Press, except that once in a while a single specimen turns up in change. A few years ago 4,500,000 bronze two- cent pieces were set afloat, Three millions of them are still outstanding, but are never seen. A million of three- cent silver pieces are scattered over (he United States, but it is very sel¬ dom that one comes across any of them. Of the 800,000 half-cent pieces, not one has been returned to the gov- ernment for coinage or is held by the treasury. DAMAGING TO QUAY. Bribery Investigation Brings. Out in¬ teresting Allegations. A dispaloh from Harrisburg, Pa., says: The legislative committee in¬ vestigating the charges of alleged bribery in connection with the consid¬ eration by the house «f the MeCarrell jury bill and the balloting for United States senator held sessions Tuesday afternoon and evening and some inter¬ esting testimony was presented. Representative Kendell, of Sotner- sel, testified that a resident'of Bedford county not a member of the legislature had told him if he could see his way clear to vote for Quay for United States senator he would receive §5,000. He declined to name the man. Representative testified Laubaclf, that of named Phila- delphia, a man Frank Jones, of Philadelphia, asked him to vote for Quay and he refused. Later Jones told him if he voted for | Quay he (Laubach) conM . have , the ,, chief clerkship oz the mint or the C11R om house, Representative Brown, of Union, swore that a man had offered him 8200 to remain away on thnt dny of the first joint ballot for United States senator. When he refused the offer was raised to $300 and he was told if he would go into the convention and vote for Quay the price would be “altogether different. ” All these offers were re¬ fused. Mr. Brown declined to give the name of the man to the committee,but after much urging named ex-Congress- man Monroe H. Culp, of Sliamokin. Mr. Culp represented the seventeenth Pennsylvania district in the fifty- fourth and fifty-fifth congresses. The first important break in the bal¬ loting for United States senator took ! place in the legislature during the day, when all the anti-Quay republicans deserted “favorites” and cast their | Dalzell, ballots solidly of Pittsburg. for Congressman John SHERMAN IN BAl) WAY. The Distinguished Statesman Now a Physical Wreck. The cruiser which left Hampton Roads March 13th under orders to overtake the American liner Paris and transfer from that ship ex-Secretary of State John Sherman, who had been taken seriously ill, arrived at Old Point Comfort shortly after the noon hour Tuesday with the distinguished invalid on board. The Chicago, after taking Mr. Sher¬ man on board, sailed from Santiago- last Friday morning,proceeding direct to Newport News. The party that re¬ turned with the ex-secretary on the Chicago was composed of his nephew, Mr. Frank Wiborg, of Cincinnati; Dr. McGill, of Duluth, the physician who has been in constant attendance upon the sick man, and Mrs. Danizer, the nurse, who leaves the patient. Tuesday afternoon Mr. Sherman, closely muffled and with his features entirely concealed beneath a heavy black veil, was placed in a steam launch and removed to the pier. Two officers and four men from the ship accompanied Mr. Sherman and his at¬ tendants. He was borne in a litter to the hotel on the broad shoulders of four marines. A gust of wind, lifting the veil, dis¬ closed the face of the invalid. It was wan, pinched and of a deathly pallor. A crowd of several hundred people witnessed the removal of the sick man to the hotel. At 6 o’clock p. m. he was again placed on the litter and taken on board the Washington boat. That Mr. Sherman is a very sick man, no one who got a glimpse of the invalid’s ghastly pallid features can doubt. He has lost flesh until little remains of the active and vigorous man but a frame, and he is obviously far advanced in general infirmity. CUBAN ASSEMBLY’S AGENTS- Trio Reaches Washington To Confer With President McKinley. Senors Jetser Villalon and Hevja, who were appointed by the Cuban assembly to present to the Washington authorities the resolutions of that body, have arrived in Washington. Their mission, in addition to the pre¬ sentation of the resolutions, is to ex¬ plain in detail the situation with ref¬ erence to the insurgent army. While the assembly did not reject, the $3,000,000 which General Goinez arranged with Mr. Robert P. Porter to receive and pay off the Cuban troops, they believed it to be entirely inadequate to meet the situation. They desire at least $10,000,000, and as much more as can be obtained. ANGRY VOLUNTEERS. Whole Minneseta Regiment Down On General Young.
