The United Mine Workers Obey the
Order to Quit Work.
REPORTS FROM STATES AFFECTED.
Fully 100.000 Men Go Out on the Firnt

That More Than 6.".,000 Jjult Work
?Spring Valley Men Eager For
the Fray, Though 111 1'repared.
Colfmbcs. Ohio (Special).?The great
strike inaugurated under the direction
of the officers of the United 3Iine
Workers of America has begun. As far as
known there has been no hostile demon
strations. The miners have been cautioned
by their leaders not to use any unlawful
means to secure the success of this strike
for higher wages.
Reports from all parts of Ohio show that
practically all the mines in the State are
oiosed. Some of the miners in the Jackson
and Shawnee districts are still working,and
will remain in the mines for a few days to
await the action of the Pittsburg district.
Owing to the fact that many mines have
"Veen working on very short time, some of
the districts of Ohio present scenes but little
different from those of the past few
months.
Generally speaking, the miners are in?
poor shape to stand a prolonged strike, and
if the suspension continues for any length
of time their want will result in making the
situation very serious. Many of the Ohio
operators express a willingness to pay the
scale demanded by the miners provided the
Increase in made xn the Pittsburg district.
All tie Ohio operators ask is that the nine
cent umeroniiiu m lavur ui wruiu mo urniutained.
Reports indicate that the strike order
has been generally obeyed, except in VT?st
Virginia, northwestern Kentuoky, and the
Dan-wille (111.) district.
Cleveland, Ohio (Special). ? Reports
from the mines operated from this point
Indicate that ninety per cent, of the 75,000
miners who are under direct orders from
Cleveland have thrown down their tools,
and that the larger part of the remaining !
ten per c?nt. have decided to quit work.
Never before in the history of mining in
Ohio have Cleveland operators confronted
?o great a strike as the present.
Chicago, 111. (Special).?Despatches from
i various points in Illinois and Indiana indlaate
that the strike of coal minors is wideipread.
A despatch from Bloomington, 111.,
jays that the miners of the McLean County
Company decided to go out in obedience to
the general circular calling for suspension ,
of work. There is no dissatisfaction, and '
the strike will be purely sympathetic. The
miners receive fifty cents "per ton for dig- !
?ing second vein coal and sixty cents for !
thLid vein.
Representat ves ofjthe mines at Riverton,
Barclay and Spaulding got together and |
unanimously decided to join the general !
Itrike. At Dawson the miners also decided j
to quit work, and the movement is expected j
b spread through the Springfield district. J
President Knight of the United Mine j
Workers for Indiana, in an interview at
Terra Haute said that the Columbus report
to the effect that 375,000 men will be
Involved in the strike is a gross exaggeration.
He estimates that the total number
of miners that will be idle will be between
110,000 and 125.000.
His figures are as follows: In Pennsylvania,
22,000; in Ohio, 25,000; in Indiana,
8000; in West Virginia, 20,000, and in Illinois,
35,000.
Spbing Vallet, 111. (Special).?Good order
has characterized the conduct of the
striking coal miners. The leaders will use
all means at their command to induce the
men to commit no violent acts. ,The men
> number 4000, one-half of whom are nonEnglish
speaking. Apprehension of trouble
comes from what the foreign miners
movr f-ho rtlAQft r\f tha mnnfrh !
There will be many families on the verge
of starvation if aid'is not extended them.
The county authorities will give no more
than $4 a month to the families of the
miners, and many of them will not get any
aid. If the suspension extends beyond four
weeks there will be destitution among twothirds
of the miners in this section. At
Ladd, a village near this city, the miners
are already applying for county aid.
The strike sentiment is so strong that It
<s believed these men, masons, mechanics,
blacksmiths and carpenters, will be forced
to get in line. -There Is no section of the
West -which croes into the flcrht to a man as
have the mifiers of the Spring Valley district,
?nd none are so desperate.
The miners of this city anticipated the
general strike order three days before it j
was issued from Columbus, and at a mass j
meeting placed themselves on record to i
dig no more slxty-three-cent-a-ton coal i
after July 2. In every coal strike Spring
Valley maintains its old strike reputation
of being the iirst out and the last in.
1 Indianapolis , Ind. (Special).?The prediction
of the officials of the United Mine
Workers' organization that the strike ordered
would be generally responded to In
Indiana was realized by the abandonment
of the mines In all the coal districts except
the county of Clinton and one mine In
Green County where colored men are emEloyed.
At Brazil the block coal miners
ad a large mass meeting, and unanimously
endorsed the action of the meeting
which decided to strike.
So Intense was the feeling that a request
by one miner that he be allowed to prop up
his room, which was left without proper
supports was refused. There seemed to be
the heartiest accord among the miners in
taking the step. The few who at first dej
serted were persuaded easily to join the
strike.
As a rule the strikers are not well prepared
for a protracted struggle, for few
-of them have earned wages of which any
thing could be saved, and the majority, notably
those having families, are in debt.
'The mine owners believe that the strike
will not bo attended by any lawlessness,
t Pittsbcbo (Special).?Meetings of coal
miners were held all over the Pittsburg district
on July 4. Most of the men seemed to
be in line for a strike. The miners in the
Clearfield district have agreed not to strike.
Senator Marie Hanna, of Ohio, is now paying
the best wages in this district. He
: gives his men sixty cents a ton for ali coal
mined by them, while other operators pay
only fifty-four cents a ton. The iron-clad
contract, by the terms of which ten per
cent, of the miners' wages is retained by
the firm, and forfeited by the miners in case
they strike, is id vogue at the Senator's
mines.

i A LAD FAI I <5 1500 FEET.
^ He Went Vp With it Balloon Clutching a
Sandbas: ami Slet His Death.
I An adventuresome six-year-old boy in
Oakland. Cal., lost his life through his dosire
to go up in a balloon. Ch.\rles Conlon,
an amateur aeronaut, was advertised to as- |
rend in a hot-air balloon at Blair's Park
and descend by a parachute. He had only I
a trapeze bar from which his parachute j
was slung. On the side of the balloon were
several sandbags suspended by cords.
Young Bertram! Hill, a son of ChauDcey <
Hill, a Los Angeles architect, saw the inflating
of the balloon and other prepara- j
tion. No one noticed the boy in the hurry
and excitement of cutting loose the ropes;
but the crowd was horrified, as soon as tho
balloon rose clear of the earth, to see a lit- j
ne ooy ciuicmng ono or tat' sanu Dags. tie j
was fully thirtv-flve feet above the aeron- I
aut, and" there was 110 way of reaching him. I
Apparently he shouted to the child to
hold tight, but it was plain the little fellow J
; was setting bewildered and dizzy. Groans
of horror came from the men and scteams
from the women and children as, when the
balloon had reached a height of about 1500
feet, the child was seen to fall.
Women fainted and men wept as the body
cime whirling down. It struck nearly a
mile from the park. It is believed the
boy was dead before the body struck the
ground.
M'KINLEYS MOTHER HURT.
[ The Outing of the Presidential Party at
fljnfnn. Oliln.
President and Mrs. McKinley, accompanied
by Judge Day, assistant Secretary
' cf State, and their personal friend, Mrs.
EUa Buckingham, returned to Washington
after a pleasant visit of forty-eight hours,
including the Fourth of July, with the
President's mother at Canton, Ohio.
There was no demonstration, owing to
the request of the President, whose desire
in going to Canton was to pass a quiet
period with his mother and other relatives.
The pleasure of the visit was marred
slightly by an acoident which befell the
venerablfe mother of the President. While
walking across the front piazza Mrs. McKinley
tripped on a piece of matting and
fell forward, striking her face on a chair.
The President sprang to assist her, and
found that a considerable gash had been
cut in her forehead.
The wound was dressed and the patient
is as comfortable as could be expected. She
regards the accident more lightly than do
any of her family, bearing her pain with
the Soartan-like calmness of her nature.
The accident was the only disagreeable
feature of the trip, and it was not regarded
as serious enough to interfere with the departure
of the President and his wife.
DEFICIT CUT DOWN.
Importation!) In Anticipation of the New
Tariff Duties Increase Receipts.
The fiscal year of 1897, which closed June
30, left the United States Treasury in good
condition tojiegin the new year. When Secretary
Carlisle sent his annual report to Congress
last December he estimated that the receipts
for the year would be less than the
expenditures by 664,500,000. The year closes
with a deficit of little more than $20,000,000.
On the books of the department on
July 1 It is apparently 822,03*..526, but when
the official figures for the year are made up
the deficit will be little if any more than
$20,000,000.
This condition of affairs so much more
favorable than Secretary Carlisle had expected
has been brought about almost entirely
by the importations of dutiable goods
since early in March in anticipation of the
imposition of higher duties in the pending
Tariff bill.
In the month of June the excess of receipts
over expenditures was $10,236,595,
a tremendous gain compared with the large
deficiencies in previous months. The
available cash balance which, on the last
business day in May, was $231,993,501, was
on Julyl, $237,452,199. The withdrawals
of gold for shipment abroad have been
more than balanced by a gain in demand
notes.
Tragic Ending of a Boat Race.
At the rowing regatta on the Charles
River, Boston, Mass., the most exciting
race was the senior eight-oared contest, in
which the Riverside crew won by six feet
over the Millstreams of Chelsea. After the
Millstreams had returned to the boathouse
wharf, the coxwain, H. Sadler, of Chelsea,
alighted, and just as he was entering the
boathouse fell to the floor and expired al
most instantly, hl9 death being due to |
heart disease aggravated by the excitement
and heat of the day.
Sixty Soldiers Drowned.
Torrential rains have fallen in Roumania,
causing the rivers to rise and iu some cases
to overflow their banks. Lake Bratisch
became badly swollen, and fears were entertained
that it would overflow. A temporary
ombankment was built to guard
against this, but the watere burst out and
deluged a part of Galatz. Sixty soldiers
and many women and children were carried
away by the torrent and drowned.
Great damage was done to property.
Omlnoas Revolt In India.
The uneasiness caused by the recent
killing of officials and the rioting of the
natives at Chitpur, India, continues, although
outwardly everything is now quiet.
Spies inform the police that further outbreaks
are being organized. Isolated assaults,
especially upon European ladies,
continue. The native casualties during
the recent riot are said to have been very
large. A low estimate places thb number
of killed at 600.
Edhem Fasliii Resigns.
Edh?m Pasha, Commander of the Turkish
army in Thessaly, has resigned. He gives
as the reason for his action that he cannot
guarantee the discipline of the army under
the proposed arrangements lor the conclu- |
sion of peace with Greece. His resignation
is believed to be merely formal. It is
thought that it is tendered in accordance I
with instructions he has received from the ;
war party.

Fierce and Fiery Storms, With High
Winds, Heavy Rainfall, Disastrous
Bolts From the Sky anil Enormous
Hailstones?One of the Most Remarkable
Electric Storms Ever Experienced.
New York Citt (Special).?New York and
vicinity wore visited by one of the most remarkable
and widoly devastating electrio
storms that was ever experienced. It was
preceded by the peculiar effects which are
usually the precursor of cyclones, and gave
much uneasiness in those places which have
had experience with the funnel-shaped
I - 1 J -- 1 ?1? ? .1?1 AilA? Tf

was accompanied by heavy rain and in
places enormous hailstones fell. Lightning
fell right and left. It knocked the
top off the big flagpole beside Grant's tomb
and shattered several other poles in different
parts of the city.
At about 3 o'clock p. m. the clouds which
had been hanging over t&e city seemed to
be gathering to a head, and sweltering
New Yorkers looked expectantly up at
them for a cooling rain. It came soon
after 4 o'clock, accompanied by thunder
and lightning and beginning with a terrific
crash, which made people in the
streets scatter for shelter in considerable
alarm. The lightning struck in a number
of places.
The seven story malt house tower of EblinR/s
brewery, at St. Ann's avenue and
156th street, was struck while Mr. Ebling,
the proprietor of the brewery, and a party
of friends were in a detached building.
They were startled by the terrific crash,
which was almost Immediately followed by
another, and all jumped from their chairs.
Mr. Ebling saw a dense cloud of smoke coming
out of the malt house tower, and also
from the windows or tne nitn ana sixtn
floors, He turned in an alarm, and Engine
Company No. 41 responded. A force of
policemen from the Morrisania station also
answered the summons. While the firemen
were attaching the hose, and getting
their engines in plaoe the cloud of smoke
lifted, and they saw there was no Are. An
investigation was made, but no trace of
where the electric current entered could be
found. Five panes of glass on the west side of
the tower, near the top, had been shattered.
A flfty-four-foot pole on the roof of the
eight-story Curtis Building was split for
one-half its length by a bolt of lightning.
The superintendent of the Curtis Buildir.g
was sitting in the window of his ofS'ie
watching the storm when the pole was
struck. He saw a shower of splinters and
chips fall to the Stone street sidewalk, and
saw the people looking toward the roof of
his building. He said he also f*lt the
shock. The superintendent hurri-i to the
roof and found that the cooner baii ana a
foot or two of iron rod holdin? ;ne ball
above the tip of the pole had disappeared.
Tenafly, N. J., suffered more from the
storm than any other place near New York.
The storm amounted almost to a cyclone In
its first fury, and then it was followed by
a downfall of hailstones of large size.
Many of them were as largo as email hen's
eggs. The storm appeared to meet directly
over the village, and in a moment it
became almost as dark as night. There
was an outburst of lightning and thunder
which was terrifying. People fled to their
cellars for safety. Within a few
moments things were in a frightful
state. Roofs ^rere blown off, trees uprooted
and wires of all kinds blown down. The
wind lasted perhaps a minute and a half.
The air was filled with flying objects.
Sticks and limbs of trees were carried along
In the air and dashed against houses. From
one end of the village to the other, in a
strip about two miles broad, there was
hardly a pane of glass left whole on the
north and west sides of buildings. Hail
stones picked up half an hour later
measured an inch and a half in
diameter. Late at night the ice had
not all melted. The hail was followed
by a downpour of rain that flooded
everything and caused much damage owing
to the ruined condition of windows. The
big window-shade factory owned by E.
Richter was one of the places to suffer.
Every pane of glass in the northwest front
of the big building was driven in by the
wind and hail. The windows on one side
ol the Presbyterian Church were crushed
in, and the church flooded with water.
Lightning also struck the church. The
wind up-rooted trees in all directions, and
Washington avenue is completely blocked
by the fallen trees.
"The storm visited Long Island City,
where the lightning was particularly active
and struck in many places. When the
storm centred over Long Island City the
lightning struck the flagpole which surmounts
the County Court House, and tho
jail was also hit. The bolt splintered the
flagpole and entered the building, causing
much excitement. When the bolt struck
the Court House the women in tho jail were
already almost hysterical, and one woman
prisoner fainted.
All through Connecticut great damage
was done by the storm, and in Torrington
the cellars of the houses in all the principal
streets were flooded and about $5000 wor:h
of property destroyed. In Cheshire the
storm assumed almost cyclonic fury. Trees
were uprooted, fences leveled, roofs lifted
from several barns and immense damage
was done to crops from hailstones. In
Waterbury the rain storm was one of the
severest that has visited the city lor years.
The storm was confined to a limited area.
CORNELL AN EASY WINNER.
Colombia Far Behind, and Pennsylvania
Did Not Finish.
Cornell won her third great aquatio victory
within a week by defeating Columbia's
oarsmen over the Toughkeepsie (N. Y.)
four-mile course by a margin of at least
nine lengths. And when Columbia
had crossed the finish line fully
half a minute behind the invinoible
Ithacans the unfortunate Pennsylvania
crew, which had started
as bravely as any of them onty a little over
twenty minutes before, was aboard its
training launch, snatched from its swamping
shell just in time to avoid an actual
sinking. It was a pitiable ending to a season
of arduous and faithful training, and
there was not one of the thousands who
saw the melancholy collapse who did not
give his sympathy to the unlucky Pennsylvanians.
The result was as follows: Cornell, first;
time, 20.47 4-5; Columbia, seconi; time,
21.20 2-5; Pennsylvania did not flniiih.

Big Strike In Great Britain.
In consequence of the strike of engineers
Ln London in support of their demands for
eight hours of work only per day, the Federated
Employers' Association posted notices
throughout Great Britain locking out
twenty-flve percent, of the members of the
striking societies. It is understood that
the societies will order the remaining sevantv-flve
per cent, of their members to
leave work immediately. Twenty-flve thousand
men are affected.
Starving Themselves to Death.
According to a dispatch from St. Petersburg,
two women have been found in the
forest of Zarevosanosch Urski, in the
Iaransk District, Rome, one dead and the
other dying of starvation. They were members
of a sect regarding suicide by starvation
as the highest form of religious devotion.
Other members of the sect had previously
disappeared and the police have
instituted a thorough investigation.

West Point Hero Burled.
Sergeant Anthony J. Brechbell, stationed
at the West Point fN. Y.) Military Acadomy,
one of the victims of a drowning accident
at Long Pond, who lost his life in trying to
save several others, was buriod with military
honors in the Post Cemetery. Owing
to the young man's popularity with the
officers and men, the funeral was an imposing
event. All the various detachment*
turned out in full dress.
i Died of Starvation.
The bodies of August Staneker, aged four
years, and Mary Sholtas, aged three years,
who disappeared from their homes at
Hazel Brook, Penn., on April 21, were found
on July 6 on the mountain. When the
children disappeared a reward was offered
for information concerning them. In is
supposed they wandered into the woods,
and, losing their way, died from staivation.
Extolled the United States.
The London Dally Mail correspondent at
Cape Town, South A.'lrica, says that Mr. W.
P. Schreiner, in a 9p3eoh at the American
banquet in celebration of Independence
Day, extolled the Un ited States as the "one
spot on God's earth where freedom finds
its highest realization." This has given
great offence in sortie quarters because it
seems to imply a slur upon Great Britain.
Cherry Picker Hanged.
Van Nest Talmage, sixteen years of age,
a son of David Talmage, of Leonia, N. J.,
fell from a tree tn which he was picking
cherries. His fall was interrupted by his
clothing catching on a branch. He caught

THE TARIFF BILL PASSES.
fen Majority in the Senate For the
Revised Dingley Measure,
FINAL VOTE WAS 38 TO 2b,
Party Lines Broken?One Democrat, Mr.
McEnery, of Louisiana, and Two
Populists Recorded in the Affirmative
?Seven Silver Senators Declined to
Vote?In the Hands of the Conferees.
Washinotox, D. C. (Special).?The long
and exciting struggle in the Senate over
the Tariff bill came to a close at a quarter
before 5 o'clock p. m., Wednesday, when
the bill was passed by a majority often.
During the whole day, despite the instense
heat, the galleries had been filled, and
when the time for the vote drew near,members
of the House of Representatives flocked
into the Senate chamber, Ailing the sofas,
and stood ranged along the walls back oi
the seats of Senators. Speaker Reed and
Chairman Dingley were prominent among
those remained until the vote was taken.
There was no sort of demonstration at the
announcement of the result.
The scene in the Senate during the closing
hours of the debate was a remarkable
nnn. Tha most strikino? fnatiirfl of tho
bate was the speeches of the Silver Republicans,
who, under the lead of Senator Teller,
took advantage of the occasion to emphasize
more strongly than ever their complete
separation from the Republican
organization. While professing that they
were still protectionists, they declared that
the tariff was no longer a political issue of
the first importance. While they and the
Populists generally refrained from voting
on the bill, they called attention to the fact
that their votes could have been obtained
had they been needed to enable the Republicans
to pass a strictly party measure.
It was their contention that no tariff revision
could bring prosperity, and they
were determined that the Republicans
should pass just such a bill as they wanted,
so that the country could have an object
lesson. Senator Teller warned the Republicans
that they could notexouseany faults
in the bill on the ground that they were
forced to make concessions, as he and his .
colleagues had stood ready to support
them In passing any bill they might frame.
This is the vote on the passage of the bill

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS^HH
FOR JULY 25.
' ?
Lesson Text: "Panl Preaching in Athens," 1
Acts xvli., 23-34?Golden Text: John
lr., 24? Commentary on the Lesson of
the Day by the Rev. 1). M. Stearns.
22. "Then Paul stood In tho midst of
Mars hill and said, Ye men of Athens, I
perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious."
The R. V. margin says, "Religious."
It was something like much of
tho religion of to-day, which is described
in Isa. xxix., 13; Ezsk. xxxiii., 31; Math,
xv., 7-9, a religiousness without any real- ?
-Jt-v wit-hrm* anv fnriTirpnpisq of sins?all
outward formality. The people'3 time was
spent in talking of the news of the d^y
(verse 21); as Paul waited for Silas and
Timothy to come to him from Berea (verses
14 to 16) he mado good use of his time for
his Master, both in the synagogue and in
the marketplace, and every day preaohed
Jesus and the resurrection.
23. "Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship
Him declare I unto you." He said
this with reference to the altar to the unknown
God, for it would seem that in their
worship of many gods or idols they had an
altar for one whom possibly they might not
have heard of as yet, but if there was such
an one, they would like his favor also. Here
Is the one business of the churoh, to make
known to those who never heard of Him the
one only living and true God who alone Is
worthy to be worshiped'.
24. "God that made the world and all
things therein, seeing that He Is Lord of \ 'j
heaven and e^rth, dwelleth not in temples , ,
made with hands." Prophets and apostles
dwelt much upon the great truth of crea- \
tlon, and emphasized that Ho whom they
preached was the Creator of all things.
See Isa. xllv., 24; Jer. x., 12; xzzii., 17;
Acts iv., 24. People may know of Him by
His works. But no one can truly know
Him except through Jesus Christ, who was
God manifest in tne flesh (Math, xl., 27;
John 1., 18; I Tim. ill., 16). Life eternal Is
to know Him (John xvli., 8).
25. "He giveth to all life and' breath and
all things." Giving is His great characteristic,
and His crowning act was to give His
ownly begotten Son, or In other words, to
give Himself as a sacrifice for our sins.
Having given Himself, He has given all
>things, for all things are in Him. The ungodly
are dependent upon him for the very
breath with which they blaspheme His
name, and the words of Daniel to Belshazzar
are applicable to them?"The God
in whose band thy breath 13 and whose are
all thy ways has thou not glorified." (Dan.
v., 23).
26. "And hath made of one blood all nations
of men for to dwell on all the face of
the earth." Not only has he determined
the bounds of their habitation, bat He has
done it with reference to His people Israel
(Deut. xxxll., 8), for it i.s His pleasure to
make Israel the centre and bless all nations
through them. As all on earth are His
creatures and He loved the w"rld and gave
Himself for the world, surely it is the great
business of those who know this to make it
known to thoso who know it not. What
else are we here for but to honor Him and
make Him known?
27. "That they should seek the Lord."
Look at Isa. It., 6,7; Zepb. ii., 3; Jer. xxix.,
13, and Matt, yi., S3 on seeking the Lord,
and observe everywhere that His great desire
is to have people turn to Him. By sin
we Dave turned our DacKS upon aim, ana
misjudge Him, and misunderstand Him,
and think and say hard tilings of Him. The
Scriptures enlighten us about Him and lead
us to repent or change our mind about Him,
and when we know Him many are glad to
receive Him (John 1., 11, 12).
23. "For in Hftn we live and move and
have our being." If there is one thing that
is not known, it is the goodness and love of
God. Those who bear the name of Christ
are not showing forth His goodnoss as they
might day by day, but are too apt to com- *,
plain because of His chastenings and thus
lead others to think that He is not good.
God Is good, God is love, and if these truths
were more manifest in His people more
would want to know Him, for the goodness
of God leads to repentance (Rom. 11., 4).
29. "We ought not to think that the Godhead
is like unto gold or silver or stone, V j
graven by art and man's device." For it
<innnAf hot -tttVi of mn m a Ira mfl^A na . . N.'.i
The work of men's hands cannot be man's
creator, and yet what millions seem to
think so as they bow down to idols of wood fl
and stone. 8ee the folly of this fully set ^
forth in Isa., xliv., 9-19, and in verse 20 soo
the reason of such folly, "A deceived heart
hath turned him aside."
30. "And the times of this ignorance God
winked at (B.Y. overlooked), but now commandeth
all men everywhere to repent."
God never makes light of sin and
never passes it by as if it were
nothing, but He is long suffering, slow to
anger, not willing that any should
perish (II Pet. iii., 9, 10). How it must
grieve Him to be misunderstood as He is,
to be thought unkind and cruel when He is
wholly and only lovel Is it any wonder
that He commands all to repent, but is it
not a great wonder that He offers full and
free forgiveness to all who turn to Him?
(Hos- xiv., 4; Rom. iii., 24.) /
81. "Because He hath appointed a day in
which He will judge the world in righteousness
by that man whom He hath ordained."
The assurance of this is found in a risen
Christ at God's right hand. In reference
to this day we must remember that a day
sometimes means a thousand yuars (Ps. xo.,
4; II Pet. ill., 8), and from other scriptures
we gather that the period of judgment will. ?
cover at least 1000 years; the saints and the
living nations being judged at the beginninsr.
and the wicked dead at the end of the
thousand years.
32. "And when they heard of the resurrection
of the dead some mocked, and
others said, We will hear thee again of this
matter." The greatest and the crowning
eventinthe work of our Lord Jesus Christ,
His resurrection from the dead, is that
which seems to be the greatest stumbling
block. I Cor. xv. sets forth very fully the
benefits of His resurrection and what the
results would have been if Ho had not
risen.
33, 34. "So Paul departed fr?m them.
Howbeit certain men clave unto Him and
believed." Thus he went from place to
Dlace as a faithful witness, never expecting
to save all in any place, bat seeking by all
means to save some (I Cor. ix., 22). He
understood that it was his commission to
bear the name of Christ wherever the 8plrlt
of Christ should lead him and be perfectly J
sure that God's word would always accom- I
plish His pleasure and prosper in that A
whereto He sends it (Isa. lv., 11). It is a
happy thing for us wnen we aro willing to ^
let Our blessed Lord manago His own affairs
and accomplish what Ho pleases
rather than what we please. When wo aro
willing to fall in with Him in His clearly
revealed plans and purposes and just dwell
with Him for His work, seeking only in all
things to be approved of Him?t-eaoaa *

DRUCS BEFORE DUTY f
BnMlan Soldiers Adopt Sfranc? Mean*
to Escape Military Set-rice.
Advices from St. Petersburg give the details
of a novel method of escaping oompnlsory
military service. It has long been
known that the Russian peasant conscripts
tiave practiced self-mutilation in order to
avade serving tfle Czar as soldiers, but in a
trial that has just ended it was shown that
several military officers entered into a
scheme whereby they secured the release of
recruits after they had entered the ranks
in return for the payment of money.
These officers arranged with young doctors
in the service to administer drugs to
the men who had paid the sums demandad
for their release, with the result that the
men would soon display symptoms of seri
ous Heart trouDie. iney wouiu muu
to the chief doctor, who. after examination,
would give certificates which would cad the
military careers of the young soldiers. Th#
latter would return to their homos, whert
they would recover their health with remarkable
celerity.
Tho authorities learned of the scheme
from papers left by one of tho oonspirators,
who committed suicide. The accused officers
were found guilty and condemned to
two years' service with the disciplinary battalions,
which is tantamount to a death
;entence.
