Ing he was an Impressive figure. One of
The Constitution's special writers describ
ed him bh quaintly eo. He spoke hoarsely,
yet earnestly. Ilfs voice, usually good,
had been badly worn by the previous Sat
urday night meeting of the gold men. He
had sat throughout the convention quietly.
He made a motion in the Nebraska con
test case, and for a moment it was thought
1 he would make a speech, but ho quletiy
withdrew his motion and the Bryan dele
gates were admitted.
Mr. Russell sat >n a front scat, directly
epnftafto the chairman's stand. Close by
him sat George l’red< rick Williams, tho
free silver : pestle of Massachuestts. There
ho was frequently pointed out. He took
a deep interest In the convention pro
ceeding*. He talked little during the pro
gress of the work. When Senator Hill
finished his speech, he leaped to ills chair
and waved his black derby hat and clap
ped his hands with the other enthusiastic
members of his delegation.
He took the stand soon after Hill and
clos.d the debate on the platform for the
gold nun. Il wa* his last appearance in
public life. He spoke about seven min
utFS very earnestly. lit referred to Georg®
Frederick Williams's advocacy of silver as
the one false note that he had heard from
Massachusetts. He appealed to the dele
gates from Ins state to say whether or not
he spoke tho sentiment of his state. They
arose and said that he did.
He closed his speech by uttering the
prophecy that the protest of the minority
would be held as the ark of tho coienant
of the faith.
Ho went back to his seat to make way
for the peerless Bryan, who was to make
a speech for history. He had made his
last speech. He sat still and quiet only
a few feet away while Bryan made his
masterly effort. He took no part in the
applause that followed.
No one who saw the young statesman
dreamed that tho touch of death was al
most upon him. No man In all that vast
cor. ourso of 000 people seemed to have

CHRISTIAN MOTHERS.
A Sermon That Will Have Practital Re
sults in Many Homes.
HANNAH'S YEARLY PRESENT TO HER SON.
She Made Samuel a Garment and Car
ried It to Him—Advice to Moth
ers About Their Children.
Washington, D. C., July 19.—(Special.)—
This radical discourse will no doubt have
its practical result in many homesteads
throughout Christendom. The text was
I Samuel 11:19. ••Moreover his mother made
him a little coat, and brought it to him
from year to year, when she came up with
her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.”
The stories of Deborah and Abigail are
very apt to discourage a woman’s soul.
She says within herself: "It is Impossible
that 1 ever achieve any such grandeur
of character, and I don't mean to try;’’ as
though a child should refuse to play tho
eight notes b< cause lie cannot execute a
•William Tell” This Hannah of the text
differs from the persons I jo*t nann d. She
was an ordinary woman, with ordinary
intellectual capacity, placed in ordinary cir
cumstances, and yet, by extraordinary in
tellectual capacity, standing out before all
the ages to conic, the model Christian moth
er. Hannah was the wife of Eikunuh,
who wan a person very much like h< tself—
unroins.ntlc and plain, never having fought
a battle or been the subject of a marvel
ous escape. Neither of them would have
been called a ge.iius. Just what you and
I might be, that was Elkanah and Han
nah. The brightest time in all tho his
tory of that family was the birth of Sam
uel. Although no star ran along the
heavens pointing down to his birth place,
1 think the angels of God stooped at the
coming of so wonderful a promiet. As
Samuel hud been given in answer to pray
er. Elkanah and all his family, save Han
nah, started up to Shiloh to off r.'icrl
fices of tbanksgi-iag. The cradle win-re
the child slept was altar enough for Han
nah's grateful heart; but when the boy
was old enough she took him to Shiloh,
and took three bullocks and an epnab of
flour and a bottle of wine, and made of
ferings of sacrifice unto the I.ord, and
there, according to a previous vow, rhe left
him; for there he was to stay all the days
of his life and minister in the sanctuary.
Years rolled on, and every year Hannah
made with her own hand a. garmi nt for
Samuel and took it over to him. The lad
would have got along well without tl at
garment, for 1 suppose he was w. 11 clad
by the ministry of the temple; but Hannah
could not l>e contented unless she was all
the time doing something for h< r darling
bov. "Moreover his mother made hint a
little coat, and brought it to him from
year to year, when she came up with
her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice "
Hannah stands before you, then, today.
In the first place, as an industrious moth
er. There was no med that she work. 1.1-
kanah. her husband, was far from poor.
H. Iwdongcd to a distinguished family; for
the Bible Udis us that he was the son of
Jerohaun. the son of I.lihu, the son of loh'i.
the son of Zu|«h. "Who were they'."’ you
say. I do not know ; but they were dis
tinguished people, no doubt, or lhe:r names
would not have be. n mentioned. Hannah
might have seated herself in her family,
and. with folded arms, and disheveled hair,
read novels trom year to year, it there
had been any to read: but when 1 sec her
making that garment and taking it over to
Samuel. I know she i- industrious from
principle as w.ll as Irom pleasure. G. I
would not have a mother become a drudge
or a slate, he would have her employ all
of Iter children. But Hannah ought never
to be a hamel to ’.« found making a coat
f. r Samuel. Most mothers med no coun
sel m this direction. The v t inkles on 'heir
brow. th. pdlor on th’-r ch" k. t 1 ■ ti.lm
ide mark on their fing< I’ attests that tiyy
are faithful in their maternal duti •■. The
bloom and the brightness and the . . . a< :ty
of girlhood have given place to t' ■ grander
digr.ity and usefulness and industry of
moll ■■ rhoad. Hut th-re is a hcathe.iish idea
i getting abroad In some of the families of
Ant. t-.<- - is. livre are motho who banislr
th.-m.s- Ives fr«>m the hoine Circle. For
tin.-.-fourths of their maternal duties they

what their cbild.s’n eat, and what their
children r. ad. Th y intrust t:> it rcsponst

where the daughters see nothing but slal-
U-rl.liness and upside dow nat'.i<-;u .<;■> In
their parents. Let Hannah be idle, aad
most certainly Samuel will glow up t.l .
Who are the industrious men in all our
oi upatlons and professions'.’ \\ lio are they
mana .ig the mtrchaildlse ot the world,
i building the walls, tinning the roots, weav
ing tb<- carpets, making the laws, govi-tn

them, came from such an illustrious an

cam. irom mothers Idle and disgusting, tho
‘ scandal mongers of society, going from
i house to hoilso attending to everybody's
I business but their own; believing in witches
I and ghosts, and horse shoes to keep the
d. vil out of the churn, and by a godless
life setting their children on the very vcr»;o
oi hell, file mothers of Samuel Johnson,
and ot Alfrefl the Gr.-at, and of Isaac New
ton, and of St. Augustine, and of Richard
t'.-.-il, and of rl-’esident Edwards, tor tne
most part were industrious, hard-working
mothers. Now, while 1 congratulate nil
Christian mothers upon the wealth and the
modern F- li nii which may afford them all
kinds of help, let file say that every moth
er ought to I"- observant of her children's
walk, her children's behavior, her children's
fooi. her children's books, her children's
companionship. However much help Han
nan mav have, 1 think she ought every
v.-ar, at least, make one garment for Sam
uel. The lx>rd have mercy Oti tiie man who
is so unfortunate as to have had a lazy
mot her!
Again: Hannah stands before yon today ns
an intelligent mother. From the way In
which she talk' d in this chapter, and from
th. way she managed this boy, you know
she was intelligent. There are no persons
In a community who need to be so wise
and well-informed as mothers. O, this
work of culturing children for this world
and the next. This child is timid, ai.d it
must la> roused up and pushed out Into ac

must be held back, and tamed down Into
nioiesty nti.l politeness. Rewards for tits',
punishments for another. That which will
make George will ruin John. The rod Is
nece sary in ot e case, while a frown of
displeasure Is more than enough In anoth
er. Whipping and a dark closet dn not ex
haust all the rounds of deniestic discipline.
Therr have been children who have giow-n
up and gone to glory without ever having
had their ears boxed. O. how much earn

Again; Hannah stands ..’.ro you to
day as n Christian mot, * From her

thing woefully lacking in that liutwo. if It
not be also the r<• •idem o of a Christian
mother. I bless God tha‘ there are not
many prayerless motln rs. The weight of
responsiliiiity Is so groat that they fee! the
need of a divine hard to help and :i divine
voice to comfort and a divine heart to
sympatlizi. Thousands of mother': have
Ir.-i Z" li.to the kirgdom <f God by
the hands . f their little children. There
are hundreds of mothers today who would
not have been Cbr itl.ifis had it not been for
the prattle of their little on. s. Standing
some day in tho nursery, they nothouglit
lit. nt«-lvr«. "this child H"'l bus given mo

how can I <v. r < x|o . t bun to become a
Christian? Lor i help mo! ' Oh. are there
anxious mothers who know’ nothing ot

Samuel l’o not think it is absolutely

Every child is a bundle of tremendous

the usefulness and the popularity of her
son batnmd, ami that is true in all ages.
Every motner gets lull pay for all the pray
ers and tears m bciudl of her children.
That man useful in commercial life; tnat
man prominent in the profession; that
master medianic—why, < v> ry step he takes
in life lias an echo ot gladness in the cld
heart that long ago taught him to be
Christain and Heroic and earnest. Tiio
story of what you have done or what you
have written, of the influence you have ex
erted, has gone back to the old homestead
—for tiiere is some one always ready to
carry good tidings—and that story makes
tile needle In the old mother's tremulous
hand fly quicker, and the flail in the fath
er’s hand come down upon tiie barn floor
with a more vigorous thump. Parents love
to hear good news from their children. Do
you send them good news always? Look
out for the young man who speaks of his
father as the "governor,” the "squire," or
the "old chap.” Look out for the young
woman who calls her mother her "maternal
ancestor,” or the "old woman.” “The eye
that mocketh at his father and refuseth to
obey his mother, the ravens of the valley
shall ph'k it out and the young eagles shall
eat it.” God grant that all these parents
may have tho great satisfaction of seeing
their children grow up Christians. But O,
the pang of that inotlu r who, after a life
cf street gadding, and gossip-retailing,
hanging on her children the fripperies and
follies of this world, sees those children
tossed out on the sea of life like foam on
the wave, or nonentities in a world where
only brawny and stalwart character can
stand the shock! But blessed be the moth
er w ho looks upon her children ns sons and
daughters of the Ix>rd Almighty! D. the
satisfaction of Hannah In seeing Famuel
serving at th- altar: of Mother Eunice In
seeing h. r Timothy learned In the s.-rlpt
ur t. That is tho mother’s recompense; to
see children coming up useful in the world,
reclaiming the lost, healing tho s'. pttv
ing the ignorant, earnest and useful in
every sphere. That, throws a new light
back on tho old familv Bible whenever she
roads It; and that will bo ointment to

FINE STEAM BABGE SINKS.
Samoa Goes to the Bottom of the Bay.
The Celtic Badly Injured.
Brookville, Ontario, July 15.—0r0 of the
worst ri' idctits harp able to Roek Shoal
in the narrows cpposlte 11'll Crest occurred
yesterday In broad daylight, and as a re
sult one of the largest and finest steam
barges in the liver and lake trade lies at
the bottom of Watrous bay, while her con
sort is piled hard and fast on the shoal
its’ 'f.
Tiie vessels are the st. am barge Samoa,
owned by Brown & Co., of Buffalo, and the
barge Celtic, the property of G. K. Jack
son. of Bay City. Mich. Both had grain
cargees consigned to the I're-cott Elevator
Company, the former carrying TI.Imx 1 bushels
of oats and the latter 47,•<''.! bushels of corn.
The Critic is a three-master and an un
usually line ve -el. Captain Stewart, of the
Samoa, said he knew ot’ tl;e exGtenee of
the sho.’.l, but misjud;,ed it; position, as
the big barge, while running .at her usual
spud, str-uck the shoal about 9 o’clock yes
terday with great force, ba Iy staving in
her bottom. The water at once began to
p.air into her hole In a torrent, but <’at>tain
Stewart, casting away ’he tov i ig lite and
turning the Samoa about. In aded her b-.ek
for Watrous bay, where he r.iti her ashore
before she settled to the bottom.
In the meantime the Celtic also struck the
sl.i :il "ith considerable force, but dots
not seem to have damaged her hull much,
as the crew wt re .al le to keep her clear by
working the pumps. She will have to be
lightened, however, before : lie van be
pulled off the shoal. The Samoa lies in
eighteen Ret of water aft, an I her upper
decks .’ire out of water. Both vessels and
their cargoes tire insured, but to what
extent is not known.

of his friends when Pedro Jiminez, a na

intruder walked directly to Ezeta’s chair
and as the leader faced about, Jiminez spat
in his face.
The ex-president sprang to h's feet to re

I>e assassin was disarmed by Ezeta’s
friends and hurried from the room. Jiminez
was arrested and stated he was formerly
district attorney of Salvador under Eze
ta’s administration.
While acting in that capacity he incurred
the displeasure of the dictator who put him
to torture. The ex-president denies the
prisoner’s statement and expresses the be
lief that Jiminez is an emissary of Presi
d' nt Gulierrez, of Salvador, who construes
Ezeta’s presence in San Francisco as a
menace to the Salvadorean government.
