REV. DR. TALM AGE’S SUNDAY
DISCOURSE.
**T!ie Law of Klmlncss” is the Title of
the New York llerahPs Tenth Compete
tire Sermon^Dr. Tn!ttttt£6 Preaches
a Sermon to the Feminine Tollers.
There Proverbs xxxi., 20.
are two superficial and somewhat
prevalent notions of Mhdtieaa which over
look the truth o 1 a law of kindness and
hinder fchtt fulfilment of that law. The
IS that kindness is a happy accident
0! temperament. When Charles Lamb died.
Henry Lamb, Crabb she Robinson wont to visit Mary
and said to him: “Now, I eail
this Very kihd Af you, not good natured,
but very, very kind.” Her distinction Is
just. Kindness is more than constitutional
good naturedness. tt Implies discipline
and culture.
The second notion associates kindness
^•ith Christian etiquette and deportment,
with something amiable and desirable,
perhaps, tial. but rather ornamental than essen
devout Consequently people many religious and
are unkind in words and
actions without, any feeling of sinfulness
on that account. Put away the notion of
kindness which regards it as merely an
external grace of character or a useful
lubricant wherewith to reduce the frictions
of social intercourse and conceive it as an
essential element of all goodness, divine or
law human, and as comprehended under God’s
of human life. Unkindness, like any
other transgression of moral law. is wick
edness. Nor is it enough to try and not
be unkind, for unless one tries to bo kind
ho not only fails of duty, but will bo un
able to guard himself from actual unkind
ness.
Kindness has its root in kinship. It im
plies relationship and affinity. Men nro
children of a common Father, and there
fore brethren. Therein lies tfie signifi
cance of all that the Scriptures teach con
cerning lasting tho essential, exceeding and ever
loving kindness of God. There is
kinship His image. between Him and men, created in
Therein is grounded our hu
man kinship and tho law of brotherly kind
ness for all men, than which no law of
human life has higher.authority or sacred
cr sanctions.
As no one can be as good as he should
and may be, so no one can do good ns lie
should and may without striving to fulfill
this law of tho cultivation and manifesta
tion of kindness. There is nothing else so
powerful for good unless it i»o love, and
love as St. Paul says, is kind. It disarms
into prejudice and hatred, it converts distrust
evil confidence, it overcomes all manner of
with good. It brings out as nothing
else can the latent and potential good
tilings in people. Men have come to recog
nize and act upon this principle In their
treatment and training of animals. How
much more effective will be the training of
children and the treatment of nil human
beings which is based upon kindly sympa
thy! Tho safest assumption that can be
made in all suHi matters is that kindness
will meet all such response.
Kindness has insight andean detect signs
of promise in the unpromising, while under
its genial influences and delicate ministra
tions these signs become manifest and the
things they promise begin to be fulfilled.
What else* gives so great encouragement to
the many who are struggling with advers
ity or temptation, correcting and changing
just those depressed feelings of loneliness
and neglect wherein the power of evil finds
its most favorable conditions? Wordsworth
speaks of
That portion of a good man’s life—
llis little, nameless, unromombered nets of
kindness and of love.
How suggestive that is of what is possi
ble in this way of kindness, which works
with magic power to transmute apparent
trifles into priceless treasures—as St. Zita’s
cup of cold water given to a dusty and
weary pilgrim proved to bo, as bo drank it,
a cup of precious ■wine. Kind words often,
as Dante says of Beatrice's words, “more
smiled than spoken!” Kind actions, cost
ing little, but bestowing much! How easily
they able might bo multiplied to the immeasur
cheer and comfort and enrichment of
life! They make tho gloomy smile, tho
angry from grow inook, tho suffering to cease
bitter groaning; they light up hope, sweeten
the faint thoughts, console sorrow, strengthen
and turn from sin; and they reach
and move those whom no other good influ
ences affect and conquer such as have re
sisted all other powers of grace.
Bitter and all too frequent are our re
grets and repentances, as we recall, per
haps too late for aught but regret and re
pentance, the unkind things said or done
by us, or tho kind things wo might and
should have said and done, but left unsaid
and undone. In our cups of recollection
overflowing with divine tender mercies
and loving kindnesses there is do bitterer
ingredient than this. Hut seldom, if ever,
do we recall any error of ours on the part
of kindness or find nny occasion for regret
ting merciful allowances, favorable Inter
pretations or whatever a spirit of kindness
may have prompted. Wo hnvo never stood
by a coffin or a grave and repented of any
utmost or even unrequited kindness shown
to the person at rest there.
The Gospel of Christ is precious because
it is a gospel of the “exceeding great kind
ness of God toward us” in Christ, ami be
cause it is all tho while aiming to touch
and waken the chords of human sympathy
in our hearts; and,In bringing us under tho
law and into tho spirit of brotherly kind
ness. to make us know and rejoice together
in tHe loving kindness of our God, Of this
gospel we can all be ministers, and the
best and most useful portion of our lives
Will be our “little.namoiess, unremembered
acts of kindness and of love.”
01», then, since the time is short, “Bo
swift to love, tnnke haste to be kind!”

Pastor of the Second Church in Hartford,

LEARN PRACTICAL THINCS.
Dr. Talmage Preaches Directly For the
Benefit of the Women,
Text: “Every wise woman buildeth her
house.”—Prov. xiv., 1.
Woman a mere adjunct to man, an ap
pendix to the masculine volume, an npnen
d«ge, a sort of afterthought, something
thrown in to make things even that is the
heresy entertained and implied by some
men. This is evident to them, because
Adam was first created, and then Eve.
They don't read tho whole ftorv, or they
would find that the porpoise and the bear
and the hawk were created before Adam,
so that this argument, drawn from priority
of creation, might prove that the sheep and
the Woman dog were independent greater than man. So.
was an creation, and
was intended, if she choose, to live alone,
to work alone, act alone, think alone, but
never fight her battles alone. The Bible
says it is not good for a woman to be alone;
and the simple fact is that many women
who are harnessed for life in the marriage
relation would be a thousand-fold better
ofT if they were alone.
A woman standing outside the marriage

you avoid, of the risks of unnssirailatod

tho cares you will never have to carry,
and of the opportunity of outside useful
ness from which married life would have
partially debarred you, and that you am
free to go and come as one who lias tile
responsibilities of a household can seldom
be. God has not given you a hard lot, as
compared with your sisters. their When young
women shall mako up minds at the
start that mc.soullno companionship Is not
a necessity Is in order to happiness, and that
thore a strong probability that they will
have will be to getting fight tho tile battle timber of life alone,"limy
fortune, and their roady for their
own saw and ax and
plane sharpened for its construction,
rlneo ‘‘Every wiso woman buildeth lusr
house.”
As no boy ought to be brought up with
out learning somo business at which lie
could earn a livelihood, so no girl ougtit to
bo brought up without learning the science
of self-support. The difficulty is that many
a family goes sailing ou tho high tide of
success, and the husband and father de
pends ou his own health and acumen for
the welfare of Ills household, but ono day
begets his feet wet, and in three days
pneumonia has closed ids life, and the
daughters are turned out on a cold world
to earn bread, and there is nothing practi
cal that they can vlo.
How is this evil to be cured? Start clear
back la tile homestead and touch your
daughters that life is nn earnest thing, and
that there is a possibility, if not a strong
probability, life that they will have to fight the
batllo of alone. Let every father and
mother say to tiieirdangbters: “Now. what
would you Do for a livelihood it what l now
own were swept away by financial disaster,
or old age, or death should end my career?"
Mytftdvieo to ait girts and nil unmarried
women, whether in affluent homes or in
homes where most stringent economies are
grinding, is to learn to do somo kind ot
work that the world must hnvo while the
world stands.
O, young women of America! as many of
you will have to light your own battles
alone, do not wait uutll you meet with
disaster and your father is deiul.andnll
the resources of your family have been
scattered; but now, while in a good house
and environed by all prosperities, learn
how to do somo kind of work that the
world must have ns long as tho world
stands. Turn your attention which from tho em
broidery of fine slippers, of there is
a surplus, and mako a useful shoe. Ex
pend the time in which you adorn a cigar
case in learning how to mako a good,
honest loaf ot bread. Turn ycur atten
tion from tho making of flimsy nothings to
the manufacturing of important some
things.
"But,” you ask, “wlint would my father
am! mother say it they saw I was doing
such unfashionable work?” Throw tho
whole responsibility upon us, the pastors,
who are constautiy hearing of young wo
men in all these cities, who, unqualified by
their previous luxurious surroundings for
the awful struggle of life into whioh thoy
have been suddenly hurled, seemodtohave
nothing starvation left them but a choice between
and damnation, They go
along tile street at 7 o'clock in the wintry
mornings, through the slush and storm,
to the place where they slmil earn only
half enough for subsistence, the daugh
ters of onco prosperous merchants, law
capitalists, yers, clergymen, artists, bankers and
who brought up their chil
dren under the infernal delusion that
it was not high tone for a woman to learn a
profitable calling. Young woman! lake
this Bttftir lii your own bund, and let
there bo an Insurrection in all prosperous
families on the part of tho daughters of
this day, 'demanding knowledge in occu
pation and styles of business by which they
may be their own defence and llioir own
support brotherly If all fatherly and husbandly
and hands full them. I have
seen two sad sights, the ono a woman in
all tiie glory of her young life, stricken
by disease, and in a week lifeless in n home
of which sho bail been the pride, As her
hands were folded over the still heart and
her eyes closed for tho last slumber, and
she was taken out amid the lamentations
of kindred and friends, I thought that was
a sadness immeasurable. But 1 have seen
something compared with which that
scene was bright and songful. It was u
young woman who had been all her days
amid wealthy surroundings, by the visit
of death and bankruptcy to the household
turned out on a cold world without one
lesson about how to get food or shelter,
and into tho awful whirlpool of city life,
where strong ships have gone down, and
for twenty years not one word has been
heard from her. Vessels went out on the
Aiiantie Ocean looking for a shipwrecked
• raft that was left alone and forsaken on
the sea a few weeks before, with the idea
of bringing it into port. But who shall
ever bring into the harbor of peace and
hope anil heaven that lost womanly im
mortal, driven in wlint tempest, aflame in
what conflagration, sinking into wlmt
abyss? O God, help! O Christ, rescue!
My sisters, give not your time to learning
fancy work which the world may dispense
with in liurd times, but connect your skill
with the Jndispensables of life.
Let me say to all women who have al
ready entered upon tlm battle of life that
the time is coming when women slmil not
only get ns much salary and wages as men
get, but for certain styles of employment
women will have higher salary and more
wages, for tho reason that for some styles
of work they have more adaptation. But
this justice will come to women not through
nny sentiment of gallantry, not because
woman therefore, is physically weaker than men,
sideratiou and, ought to have more com
shown her, but because through
her liner natural taste and more grace of
manneraDd quicker perception, and more
delicate touch, and more educated adroit
ness she will, In certain callings, be to her
employer worth ten per cent, more, or
twenty per cent, more than the other sex.
Nhe will not get It by asking for It, but by
earning it, and It shall be hers by lawful
conquest.
The subscription price of this pa
per puts It within the reach of all
and Iherc Is no reason why your name
should not be on our books.
WHITE IS CHAIRMAN.
H« I» Elected By th*i Democratic Cou
IfreMlonal Committee.
A Washington dispatch says: The
new democratic congressional commit
tee Thursday elected as chairman Sen
ator White, of California. Senator
White was supported by the friends of
Representative Bailey, who are favora
ble to that gentleman’s candidacy in
case the next house is democratic.
The meeting was quite fully at
tended, thirty-three members being
present.
DEVOTED 10 THE INTERESTS OF PIERCE COUNTY.
BLACKSH EAR. GA. THURSDAY, JANUARY 27. 1898.
A QUESTION OF VERACITY SPRUNG
BETWEEN THEM.
TELLER RESOLUTION CULLED OF.
Silver Advocates in tlie Senate Win a Point
Over Stubborn Opposition and
Strong- Party Lines.
A Washington special says: Speaker
Heed, from the rostrum of the house,
aud Mr. Bailey, leader of the demo
crats, from his plaeo on the floor,
glared at each other at the close of the
Cuban debate Thursday and joined an
issue of veracity. This sensational
episode completely overshadowed the
interest in the Cubau debate, which
had continued uninteruptedly in the
house for three days, during the con
sideration of the diplomatic and con
sular appropriation bill.
Williams, Wednesday notico was given by Mr.
democrat, of Mississippi,
that at the conclusion of the debate
Thursday a motion would he mado to
recommit the hill with instructions.
When the motion was made hy Mr.
Bailey it was ruled out of order hy the
speaker.
Mr. Bailey thereupon startled the
house by nflirming that ho had had a
private understanding with the speaker
by which a vote should he taken di
rectly on the motion to recommit.
This the speaker emphatically de
nied and these two lenders of their re
spective parties in tho house, with
white faces and voices shaken hy emo
tion, set their statements against each
other’s while the galleries looked on
in breathless amazement and (ho
members were in an uproar. Mr.
Smith, of Michigan, who said ho was
^present, corroborated tho speaker’s
side of tho ease. The result of the
speaker’s position was that an appeal
was taken from his decision aud hy a
strict party vote it was laid on the ta
ble—168 to 114, the democrats and
populists, as on the two previous days,
voting against the solid republican
strength.
The debate during the day was not
as interesting as on eithor of the two
preceding days. The features were a
characteristic speech hy Champ Clark,
of Missouri, a strong appeal for con
servatism from Mr. Johnson, Indiana,
a presentation of (he results of his
observations in Cuba during his re
cent trip to tho island, from King,
democrat, of Utah, and an hour speech
by Mr. Dingley, of Maine, in explana
tion of the causes of the reduction of
the wages of the New England cotton
industry.
Mr. Williams, democrat, of Missis
sippi a number of the foregn affairs
committee, followed. He sneered at
tho statement of Mr. Hitt that tho
granting of belligerent rights to tho
Cubans would afford them no advan
tage.
Ho described the harrowing condi
tions there, characterized the scheme
of autonomy as a delusion, and de
clared if peace oamo on that basis
Spain wauld saddle tho war debt on
Cuba. There would he resistance and
once more the fires of revelation would
he kindled. Permanent peace would
not come to the island until indepen
dence was achieved.
Teller ltcHolutioii In the Senate.
Silver’s control of the senate was
again demonstrated Thursday on a di
rect vote which was an unequivocal
test of the feeling of senators on tho
question.
When Senator Vest, in accordance
with previous notice, called up the
Stanley Matthews resolution and mov
ed the consideration, the gold men
made an effort to defeat this hy mov
ing an executive session.
The lines were clearly drawn. On
the one side were the gold men, on
the other those strongly for silver and
some who are inclined that way.
The result was the defeat of tho mo
tion hy Mr. Lodge for executive ses
sion by a vote of 27 yeas to 3fi nays.
Then, on Mr. Vest’s direct motion
that the resolutions favorably reported
by tho finance committee be taken up
for consideration, the vote was 41 yeas
to 25 nays.
This means that the silver resolu
tions now have the right of way as the
unfinished business of the senate.
COLLEGE STUDENTS FIGHT.
Bloody Riot rrecIpitaD d In Which Much
Damage Wan Done.
A class fight, which ended in n
bloody riot, took place among the
students of Franklin college, the Bap
tist institution of Indiana, Tuesday.
The seniors and sophomores on one
hand and the juniors and freshmen on
the other have been clashing for some
time, and the crisis came when the
jnnioT flag was seen floating over the
college. The senior-sophomore crowd
gained the roof of the building and
tore down the banner, precipitating an
exciting struggle.
TWO KILLED IN WRECK.
Train No. 37 of the Atlantic: Coast f.liie
Collide# With a Local.
Train No. 37, of the Atlantic Coast
Line from New York to Florida, and
No. 52, local from Charleston to Co
lurnbia, S. C., collided about eight
miles westof Charleston Friday morn
ing at 7:17 o’clock.
Two men were killed and a number
of others injured. The dead are:
Robert James, fireman of No. 37; Wes
ley Bishop, fireman of No. 52; both
colored.
DISCUSSED CUBAN MATTER.
Party Lines Are Closely Drawn In Con
gressional Debate.
A Washington special says; All day
long Wednesday )he question of grant
ing belligerent rights to the Cuban
insurgents was argued in the house,
but as on the previous day, the minori
ty hurled itself against n stone wall.
Tu tho only vote taken during tho
lay - a motion designated to overrule
the decision of the speaker and direct
Iho committee on foreign affairs to
report without further delay the Cuban
resolution passed by Hie senate at tho
last session—the republicans stood
soli>I and voted to sustain the chair.
The galleries were hanked to the
doors and there was considerable ex
citement throughout tho early part of
the session, when the members of the
minority were successively pressing
all sorts of amendments bearing mi
the Cuban question for the purpose of
embarrassing tho majority.
During the debate Chairman Hitt, of
the foreign affairs committee, made an
.impressive speech explaining at length
tho situation which made action hy
congress inadvisable. Ho spoke with
impassioned words of the president's
sympathy with the struggle for Cuban
independence and the achievements of
the presont administration.
The release of American prisoners
in Cuba, tho recall of Weylor, tho
abandonment of tho policy of concen
tration and the autonomy scheme ho
attributed to the firm attitude of the
president, and contrasted these results
with the inaction of tho last adminis
tration. Ho averred that belligerent
rights could not aid the insurgents'
cause and perhaps tho most dramatic
portion of his speoeh came when ho
declared that the insurgents only
wished for belligerent rights in the
hope and belief that this country
would bo embroiled in a war with
Spain, which would give them their
freedom with our triumph. Ho assert
ed that the president must assume the
responsibility of any action which
might eventuate in war and appealed
to both sides of the chamber to patri
otically crisis support tho executive if a
shall come.
M’MILUN LED IN CAUCUS.
He Receives Thirty-Nine Votes While
Taylor Knnl Last.
A Nashville dispatch says: The dem
ocratic caucus to nominate a candidate
for United States senator met Wednes
day night and took seven bullots with
out result. There was no material
ehnngo in the ballots, McMillin re
ceiving within six votes of enough to
nominate, and Senator Turley running
second with thirty votes.
The magio of Governor Taylor’s
name failed to cause Hie stampede so
confidently predicted hy his friends,
and he received the same ninetoen
votes on each of the seven ballots.
Every possible effort has been made
to change the supporters of McMillin,
hut the men who voted for him are
stickers, and are certain (o stand
by him. They are assured of enough
votes to nominate whenever the break
comes, no matter whether Taylor or
Turley is the first, to withdraw.
The larger number of votes would
come to McMillin from Taylor, but
enough would ho received if Henutor
Turley would get out of the way.
M’COMAS’ FRIENDS DISAl’I’OINTED
Second Senatorial Ballot roll Short of
Tlielr Lx piTt.ut Ioiim.
The Maryland senate and house met
in joint session again Wednesday and
after casting ono ballot for United
States senator to succeed Arthur 1*.
Gorman adjourned until Thursday.
Tho ballot resulted as follows:
MeComas 36, Shaw 11, Shryock 2,
Milliken 2, Barber 6, Warner 1, Gor
man 4(5, Findlay 2, I’arrati 6, Lowndes
1; total 118. Necessary to a choice 57.
Absent 4.
The outcome of Hie day’s balloting
was a distinct disappointment to the
followers of Judge MeComas, they
having confidently expected a gain of
at least eight moro votes than they
got.
FIFTY BODIES RECOVERED.
Gas ,Lxplosion In It riHsian Mines Was
I'Vitrfully littnl.
A later dispatch from Charkoff,Rus
sia, says that the bodies of fifty vic
tims of the gas explosion in one of tho
mines of the Donetzaer company in
the Taganrog district have been extri
cated. It is feared others wore killed.
Three of the eighteen injured in the
explosion have since succumbed.

Commissioner Evans, of tho pension
office, lias in preparation a new set of
regulations governing the practice of

methods now in vogue of adjudicating

NO RELIEF MIR CHURCH.

A Washington special says: There
was a parliamentary struggle in the
house Friday over the bill for the re
lief of the book publishing company
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, which was before the house last
Friday. By shrewd rnanenveriDg, its
opponents succeeded in preventing aQ

PRESIDENT MAY BE FORCED TO
ACT IN CUBAN MATTER.
CURRENCfREFORM MAY 60 UNDER
Deport That PrenLlent McKinley t« Pre
paring Special McBRttgc railing For
('ash to TritiiNport Troop#.
A Washington special of Friday
says: Cuban news is still flying fast
aud furious about the capital. Ono
story was put in circulation that tho
president was preparing a special mes
sage in which ho would ask for
$1,000,000 for the transportation of
troops. This and other reports wore
followed by denials, and there seems
no way of getting at Iho truth of any
of them.
Ono thing is certain, however, aud
that is that the administration is
greatly alarmed at the situation
in the house of representatives.
It was this phase of the situation
that had the cabinet in session Friday.
The Cuban matter took up all the time
of tho president and his members. As
grave as the situation is on account of
the attitude of the Spanish, it is us
serious in the eyes of the administra
tion as the attitude of the republicans
in the house.
Currency Reform May Pull.
The death knell of all efforts at cur
rency reform was sounded in tho son
ata at Friday’s session.
A premonition of it was given Thurs
day in tho decisive vote by which the
Stanley Matthews resolutions wero
given tho right of way over everything
olse; Friday the fate of all the various
efforts to puss such reform laws as will
“commit this country moro thorough
ly to tho gold standard” was settled.
The opponents of those resolutions
had made a careful study of the situa
tion and when Senator Vest, asked that
a time bo sot for a final vote on (be
resolutions, tho republican leaders
evinced a desire that they bo given
their dose at the soonest moment pos
sible. This was a surprise to tho sil
ver men, who had expected to bo told
that Hio resolutions would not be al
lowed to go through the senate with
out the hardest kind of a light.
An agreement was reached that there
shall be a vote next Thursday, lii
the meantime there will be several
speeches. Senators Turpin and Stew
art have already given notice of their
intentions in this respect and some of
the republicans will set forth their
views. Those western republicans who
have been talking silver aro to bo
smoked out. They will vote for the
resolutions, and its passage by so de
cided a vote will bo formal notice to
tho house that there is no need of that
body wasting its time in the considera
tion of the Gage bill, the commission
Dili or any of those other measures ad
vanced in the name of reform and
pushed for tho purpose so frankly
stated by the secretary of the treasniy
—to commit the country more thor
oughly to the gold standard.
A Denial Prom Mr. Quay.
At the opening of the senate’s ses
sion Friday Mr.Quay,of I’eiinsylvania,
said that he bad noticed in tho morn
ing newspapers that he lmd voted for
the consideration of the Teller resolu
tion because the senator from Missou
ri (Mr. Vest) had asked him to do so.
This, Mr. Quay said, was not true in
any sense, as lie had not conferred
with the Missouri senator about it. lie
bad voted as he had, said lie, because
be thought the present consideration
of the resolution would benefit the
country and the republican party.
BIG IMPORTS OF LUMBER.
Dim to Demand for Tourings to I'diKnjgo In
AI n h It mi i'radn.
A Kan Francisco dispatch says:
During the past 48 hours 17 vessels,
currying in the aggregate more than
four million feet of lumber,have passed
in through the golden gate. This ar
rival of so many lumber laden vessels
is due wholly to the unprecedented
demand for tonage to engage in the
Alaskan trade.
The arrival of the fleet relieves to a
gieat extent, a situation in the lumber
market created by the same demand
that will cause a scarcity of lumber
carriers.
DOLE WILL BE HONORED.
McKinley Will Hen That Hawaiian tl
dcut In WHI Fr.terfnlncd,

The Oefense of a Castle, (450.
Sir John Falstaff had hy his will do
vised his castle, called Calstor, to John
Paston. As a fortification it was an
excellent defense against foreign in
vaders, and ns a residence It was wor
thy of royalty Itself. In fact, the Duke
of Olosler, afterwards Richard III., at
olio time contemplated making it his
abode. While Paston was trying to
establish his title In the courts, the
Duke of Norfolk purchased a pretend
ed claim for It, and sought !» gain pos
session by force. The Postons did not
propose to yield, though the Duke was
then probably the most powerful noble
in England, and John Paston was hi l
liveried servant. Four professional sol
diers were sent up from London to aid
in the defense. They aro described as
“provyd men, coming In worr and well
schoto both go lines and crossbows, and
devyso bolworkys, and keep wacche
and wanlc. They ho saddle and we
advysod, saving one of them, whyche
Is bnllyr (bald), hut ylt ho Is no brawl
er. Ye shall fynd them gentlymanly
comfortable follows, and that they dare
abydo hy (her taklyng.”
Young John Postan, aided hy these
four and hy a handful of personal
friends and followers, hold the castle
for several weeks against a siege con
ducted hy (ho Duke’s nriny of 3,000
men. By the terms of tho final sur
render the besieged wore allowed their
lives and goods, horses and harness,
and a respite for fifteen days, In which
to go where they pleased. The report
ed that they wero forced to surrender
hy "lak of vllayl, gonopowdyr, menyi
herts and surolo of rescue.” Edward
IV. had refrained from Interfering In
this extraordinary contest, because tho
troubles with Warwick wore gathering
thickly about him, and tho Mowbraya
wero too necessary to ho safely offend

A Curious Calculation.
Snyder, the calculating Imrhcr, has
been figuring again. It seems that,
he snl/l lie lmd an afternoon off on
Thursday, and in journeying to Ken
sington in a trolley car to see IiIh best
girl was compelled to change his posi
tion on the seal three or four times to
make room for other passengers. "It’s
a nuisance, this sliding up and ilown
In street, cars," said Hytuler, lust night.
‘‘Did you ever stop In think how much
energy is wasted In that way? Every
time you move to make room for some
body else you edge along perhaps six
Inches. Every time you travel In the
ears you have to move three or four
times. Call it three (hat makes eigh
teen inches. Hotnnlhlng like 250,000,
ooo people rode in the trolleys last
year. If only half of them, or
125,000,000 were seated, the slide
up and down amounts to tin
extent of 2,250,000,000 inches, of
about 35,511 miles. New, If all this
energy had been expended hy one man
he could, In the course of a year, have
Hlid around the earth, with over 10,000
miles to spare. Dees the razor hurt.”
