Spiked to the rcuna of Jel's tent lay the dead cotmlaner in chief of the Canaanitish Los', General Sisera, not far from the river Khon, which was only a dry bcd of peb >s hen in 1889, in Palest-te, we crossed it, but the gu! lies and iay:ies uh-ch ran into Lit u. cated the possibihty cf freshets Lke the one at the time of the text. General Sisera had gone out with 900 iron chariots but he was defeated. and, his chriot whels interlocked with the wheels of o'her chariots, he cou'd .not retreat fast enottb, and so he leaped to the grouan and ran till ex hausted, te went into Jaet's tent ft safety. Sne had ju-t been churnzin. and whcn he aslEd f r watcr she gave him buttetwoik, :biu; :,*t east is con sidered a most ree!ue dilok. Very tred atodzsupac.-;he was safe, be went to ,eevo '1 the djor, but Jael wh !:a resolvcd upor his death, took a tent p:-., long and rout:d and sharp, in one bat;d and ai hmmer im her other hand, and puLting the sharp end ot the tent pin to the forehead of Sisera with her other band she lifted the ham. mer and brought it down on the head of .the-pin with a stout stroke, wben Sisera struggled to rise, -ind she struck him again. and he strnggld to rise, and the third time she ,;truck h:m, and the com mander ia chiet o' the Canaaoitish host lay dead. ieeanwbue in ihe distance Sisera's motter sits at;id-urre undings of wealth and pomp and see, s palaial waiting for his return. Eve y mother espects her eon to be vicor - us, and this mother looked expectnmz to ee him dr.ve up in his chariot, tolilowet b. wt,!ons loaded with embrc'- rts alIso by re-iments Ot mn vat q.-!oLd avd cuslaved.

"That battle is surely over: I bor'e that fresbet of the river Kiohon has cot impeded him. I hope those stanze apuearances we saw last night the sky were not orni nous when the s'ars seewed to fight in their courses. No, nL! - He is so brave in battle I kro v be bas won the day. He wll aoon be here." But alas for the d.sappointed mother! She will not see the glittering headgear of tbe horses at full eallop brmg~ing sOr. home from gictorious hat le. As a sol itory messenger arrving in hot haste r'des no to the window at wh:cb the mor? r of Sisera -sts he cries, "Your e?mies age defeat ed, and your son is dead'." There is a s~ene ot horror and anguish from which we turn away. Now yiou see the full meaning of my short text, "The mother .A Sisera looked out at a window." W ell, my friends, we are all out in the battle of .lsfe.ateisarging now, and the.most of shaeamother watching and waiting for news of cur victory or- defeat. If she be 'not sitting at the window of earth, she is sitting at a window of hes en, and she is going to hear all about it. By all the rules cf war bisera ought to have been triumphant. He had 900 iron chariots and a host of many thous ands vaster. than the armites of Isreal. But God was on tbe other side, and the angry freshets af Kilshon, and the hail, the lightning, and the unmanagable war horses, and the capsized chariots, and the stellar panic in the sky discomfited Sisera. Josephus in his history de scribes the scene in the following worde: "When they were come to a close f~gEt, here came down from . heaven a, 'great stor wt'h at vast quantity of rain and hail, and the wfnd 41.ew the rain in' the face of the Canaanites ied so dar -' ened their eyes their arrows an sgs were of no advantage to them, nor would the colanens of the air permit the soldiers to make use of their swords, while this storm did not so much in commode the Isrealites because' it came on their backs. They also took such courage upon the apprehension hat God was assisting them that they fell upon the very midst of their enemies and slew a great number of them, so that some of them fell by the Isrealites, home fell by their own horses which were put into disorder, and not a few were killed by their own chariots." Hence, my hearers, the bad news brought to the mother of Sisera looking out at the window. And our mother, whether sitting at ai window of earth or a window of heaven, w.ill hearthe news of our victory or defeat, not ac ording to our talents or educational qupmedt or our opportuniies, but according as to whether God is f or us r agatnst us. "Wnere's mother?" is the question most frequentl; tyked in many house olds. -It is a~ked by tbe husband as well as the chila cnming in at nightfall. 'Where's mot her ?" It is asked by the ittlones when they get hurt and come rying with the pain,"'Wnere's moth-. r?"- It is askeo by those who have seen some grand sight or heard some good news or reeeived some beautiful gift, "Where's mother ?". She sometimes feels wearied by the ustion, for they all ask it and keep asking it all the time. She is not only the first to hear eviry case of perpfex:- I y, but she is the judge im every court: f domestic appeal, ahat is what puts al the premature wainkles on so manyI maternal I aces anid pow ders white so many maternal foreheads. 'You see it is a question that keeps on for all theI year of childbood. It comes trom theI nursery, and from tne evening stand where' the boys and gir ls are learning their school lessoni, ann f rom the start ing out in the m armtng, when the tipj pet or nat or sP--te or book or overshoe is lost. until at night, all out of breate, 1 the youngsters come in and shout until you can hear them from cellar to garret i and from tront door to the back fence f the back yard, "Where's mother ?" indeed a child's life is so fuli of that uestion that if he be taken away one of the things that the mother most1 misses and the silence that most op Presses her 13 tnle absence of that ques tion, which she will never hear on earth1 again except she bears it in a dream4 which sometimes restore the nurseryj 3ust as it was, and then the voice comes back so natural, and so sweet, and so4 inquiring th3,t the dream breaks at the words, "W here's mother ?" If that question were put to most of us this morxgng we would have to say if we spoxe trathtuully,like Sisera's month er, she is at the palace window. She has become a queen unto G4d forever and she is puliug back the rich folds of the king's upholstery to look down at us. Yv e are not told the particulars ont the resirdence of Sisea's mother but therels in that scene in the book of Judges so much about embroideries and needle.wcrk and ladies in waiting that we know her residence must have been princely and palatial. So we have no minute and particular description of the palace at whose win dow our glorified mother sits, but there is so much in the closing chapters of the good old book about crowns and pearls big enough to make a gate out of one of them, new songs and marri age- suppers, and harps, and white horses with kings in the stirrups, and golden cand!esticks that we know the heavenly residence of our mother is su pert, is unique, is colounadel, is domed, is em owered, is fountained. is glorified beyondthe power of pencilor penor tongue to present, and in the window of that palace the mother sits watch ing for news from the battle. What a contrast between that celes tial surrounding and her once earthly surroundings! What a work to bring up a family in the old time way, with but little or no hired help, except per haps for the washing day or for the swine slaughtering, commonly called "the killing day!" There was then no reading of elaborate treatises on the best modes of rearing children and then leaving it all to Nired help, with one or two visits a day to the nursery to see it the principles an nounced are being carried out. The most of those old to.ks did the se-wing, the washing, the mending, darning the patching, the nillinery, the mantua making, the housekeeping and in hur ried harvest time helped spread the hay cr tread down the load in the mow. They were at the same time caterers, tailors. doctors, chapl-ios and nurses for a whole household ah together down with measles or scarlet fever, or rourd the house with whooping coughs and croups and runround fiagers and earaches and all the iafantile distem pers which at some time swoop upon every.large household. Some of those mothers never got rtsted in this world. Instead of the self rocking cradles ot our oay, whicb, wound up, will go hour after hour for the solace of the young slumberer, it was weary foot on the rocker sometimes half the day or half the night-rock-rock-rock-rock. Ins! ead of our drug stores fi'lea with all the wonders of materia med ica and called up throuah a telephone, with them The only apothecary short of fout miles' ride was the garret, with its bun cher of pepperment and pennyroy'tl and catnip atnd mustard and camomile dowers, whrch were expected to do everything. Just think of it! Fifty years of preparing breakfast, dinner and supper. Rhe chief music they heard was tnat of spinging wheel atd rocking chair. Fagged'out; bead achy and with ai kles swollen. Those old fdsnioned mo tiers-if aay persons ever litted appropria-ey into a good, easy, comfortable heaven they were the folks, aL d they got there, and they are reste. Uhey wear no spectctl-s, for they have their third sighit-'s they lived long enogh on earth to get their second sight-..nd they do not have to paitt for breath after going up the emerald stairs of the E ternal palace, at whose window they now sit waiting for news from the battle. But it any o:, keeps on asking the question. "Where's mother ?" I answer, she is in your pr'esent character. The probability is that your physical feat ures sugge-st her. If there be seven childreD in a household', at least six of them look like their mother, and the older you get the more you will look like her. But I speak now . especially of your character and not of your looks. This is easily explained. During the first ten years of your life you were almost all the time with her, and your father you saw only mornings and nights. There are no years in any life so important for impression as the first 10. Then and there Is the impression made for virtue or vice, for truth or falsehood, for bravery or cowardice for religion or skepticism. Suddenly start out from behind a door and frighten the child, and you may shatter his nervous system for a lifetime. During the first 10 years you can tell him enough -spook, stories to make him a coward till lie dies. Act before him as though Friday were an unlucky day, and it were baleful to have 13 at the table, or see the moon over the left shouider,and he will never recover from the idiotic superstitions. You may give that girl before she is 10 years old a fondness for dress that will make here a mere "dummy frame", or fashion plate, for 40 years. Ezekiel xvi, 4.4, "As is the mother so is her daught er." .Bfore one decade has passed you can decide whether that boy shall be a Shy lock or a George Peabody. Boys and girls are generally echoes ot fathers and mothers. What an incoherent thing for a mother out of temper to punish a child for getting rmad, or a father who smokes to shut his boy up in a dark closet because.-be has found him with an old1sump of a cigar In his mouth, -fthat mother to rebuke her daugh .,rfor staring at herself too much in the lo'oking glass when the mother has der own mirrors so - arranged as to re peat her form from all sides. The great English poet's loose mnoral char acter was decided before he left the nursery, and his schoolmaster in the schoolroom overheard this conversa fion: "Byron, your mother is a fool," and he answered, "I know it." You can hear through all the heroic life of senator Sam Houston the words f his mother when she in the war of 1812 put a musket in his hand and said: "There, my s6n, take this arnd never disgrace it, for remember I had rather all my sons should fill one hon 3rable grave thain one of them should urn his back on an enemy. Go and ememzber, too, that while the door of ny cottage is open to all brave men it t is always shut against cowaras." a~grippinae, the mother of Nero, a mur iereas, you are not surprised that her ~on was a murderer. Give that child in overdose or catechism, and make iim recite verses of the Bible as a pun- 1 snment, and make Sunday a bore, and ie will become a stout antagoms~t of Juristianity. Impress him with the tindness and the geniality and the oveliness of religion, and he will be its 1,dvocate and exemplar for all time and ~ternity. A few days ago right before our ex ress train on the Louisvill-' and Nash rille railroad the preceding train hadi ~one down through a broken bridge, 12 ars fallung a hundred feet and t hen -e onsumed. I saw that only one span f the bridge was down and all the e. ther spans were standing. Plan a good t >ridge of morals for your sons and laughters, but have the dsrt span of 10 e ears defective, and through that they t nill crash dOwD, though all the res; :eep srtanding. 0 man, O woman, if it ou~ have preserved your integrity and a wre really Christian, you have first of t LII to thank God, and I think next you| iave to tas your motber. |t The most impressive thing at the in- !t Luguratiou of James A. Garfield as It resident of the Unitea States was that v ier ne had taken the oath of offi':e he c utned round, and in the presence of f he Supreme Court and the Senate 01 u he United States kissed his old moth- o 'r. If I had time to take statistics out a >f this audience and I could ask what 1, roportion of you who are Christians a >we your salvation under God to tila- t ernal fidelity, I think about three ourths of you would spring to your e feet. "Ha! Ha!" said the soldiers of he regiment to Charlie, one of their e ~omrades, "Wt at has made the changet n you? You used to like sin as well i is any of us." Pulling from his pock :t his mother's letter, in which, after elling of some comforts she had sent t iim, she concluded, "We are all pray- t *ng for you, Charlie, that you may be .i .Christian," he said, '-Boys that's the sentence." i The trouble with Sisera's mother was 2 that while sitting at the winaow of my< text watchiug for ne ws of her son from .1 the battledield she had the two bad3 gualities of being dissolute and being Bible account says: "Her wise ladies answered her yea. She returned an swer to herself: "Eave they not sped? Have they not divided the prey-to every man a damsel or two, to Sisera a prey of divers colors-a prey of divers colors of needlework, of divers colors of reedlework on both sides?" She makes no anxious utterance about, the wounded in bF.itle, about the bloodshed, about the dying, about the dead, about the principles involved in the battle going on-a battle so ir'port ant that the stars and the freshets took part, and the clash of swords was an swered by the thunder of the skits. What sbe thinks most of is the bright colors of the wardrobes to be captured and the needlework. "To Sisera a prey of divers colors-a prey of divers colors or'needlework, of divers colors of nee dle work on both sides." Now, neither Sisera's mother nor any one else can sav too much in eulcgy of the needle. It has made more useful conquests than the sword. Pointed at one end and with an eye at the other, whether of bone or ivory, as in earliest time; or of bronze, as in Pliny's time; or of steel, as in modern time; whether laboriously fashioned as formerly by one hand or as now, when a hundred workmen in a factory are employed to make the different parts of one needle, it is an instrument divinely ordered I or the comfort, for the life, for the health, for the adornment of the human race. The eye of the needle bath seen more domestic comfort, and more gladdened poverty, and more Christian service than any o.her eye. The modern sewing machine has in nowise abolished the needle, but rather enthroned it. Thank God for the nee diework from the time wheu the L'rmd Almigi ty from the heavens ordterrd in regard to the embroide ed door of the ancient *ab!rn-ile, 'Thou shalt make a hangitig for the door of the tent of blue ata purple and scatler and fiv:e twined linen wrought with needle work." down to the womauly hands wnch. this winter in this Taberuacle are presenting for benev lent purposes their ueedlework. But the-re was notning except vanity and worldliness and sacial s -lash in what Sisera's mother said anout the needlework sne e-xp-,cied her son would bri g nome from the battle. An i I am not surorisedl to find that S sera fought on the wrong side, when his mother at the window of ny text, io that awful exigency, had her chie'I thought on dry goods achiev-ment and social display. God onlv knows how many homes. have made ship wreck on the wardrobe. And that mother wno sits at the window watching for vanglorious triumpi -f miliuery and i.:e colors and domestic pageantry will aft-er awhile hear as* bad newvs frow ver chiloreu out in the battle of life ms S.S-ra's mother heard from the stnrg g'e 4t Esdraelon. 1. if you still press the question. "W.--re's mother?" I will te.i you wieie she is not, though once she was Morr. Some of you started with her liken-ss in your face and her prinz1 pies in your soul. But you have cast her out. That was an awrul thing for you to do. but you have done it. .uat hard, grinding, dissipated look you never got froaA her. ,If you had seen any one strike. h.r, you would have struck him down without much care whether the- Olow was just sufficient or fatal; but, my boy, you have struck her down-struck her innocence from your face and struck her principles from your soul. You struck her down! The tent pin that Jael drove three times into the skull of Sisera was not so cruel as the stab you have made more than three times through your mother's heart. But she is waiting'yet, for mothers are slow to give up their boys-waiting at some window, it may be a window on earth or at some window in heaven. All others may cast you off. Your wife may seek divorce and .have no more patience with you. Your father may disinherit you and say, "Let him never again darken the door of our house." But there 'are two persons who do not give you~ up-God and mother. How many disappointed mothers waiting at the window! Perhaps the panes of the window are not great glass plate, bevel edged and hovered over by exquisite lambrequin, but the window is made of small panes, I would say. about six or eight of them, in summer wreathed with trailing vine, and in winter pictured by the Raphaels of the froat, a real country window. The mothersits there knitting or busy with her needle on homely repairs, when she ooks up and sees coming across the bridge of the meadow brook a stranger who dismounts in front of the window. He lifts and drops the heavy knocker af the farmhouse door. "Come in!" is the response. He gives his name and tays, "I have come on a sad errand." 'There is nothing the matter of my son in the city, is there?" she asks. 'Yes!" ,.he says. "Your son got into mn unfortunate encounter with a young man in a liquor saloon last night and s badly hurt. The fact is he cannot tet well. 1 hate to tell you all. 1 am torry to say he is dead." "Dead!" she tries as she totters back. "On, my son! my son! my son! Would God I had lied for thee!" That is. the ending of ill her cares and anxieties and good tounsels for that boy. That Is her pay ~or her self sacrifices in his behalf. L'hat is the bad news from the battle. lo the tidings of derelict or Corisrian ons travel to the windows of earth or he windows of hdaven at which moth rs sit. "But," says some one, "are you not nistakeri about my glorified mother earing of my evildoinigs since she vent away ?" Says some one else, Are you not mistaken a'iout my glor dled 1nother hearing of my self sacri ice and moral braver; and struggles .o do right?" No! Heaven and earth ire in constant communica'ion. There ire trains running every five minutes -trains ofimnmortals ascending and lessending-spirus going from eartsi o heaven to live there. Spirms de cending from heaven to earth to min stern and help. They hear from us nany times every day. Do they he'tr rood news or bad news from this '-at ie-this Sedan, this Thermopyhe, this Lusterlit z, in which every one or us is izri' ing on. the right side or the wrong ide ?" Oh, God, whose I am, whom I am rying to serve, as a result of this ser non, roll over on all months a ne w -Lse of their responsibility, and upon 'Ilenildren whet her still in the nursery r out on tbe tremendous Esdrealon of awlife or old age, the fact that their ictozies or defeats sound clear out leoir up to the windows of sympatheic 2aternity. Oh, is not this the minute rhen the cloud of olessing tilted wi h te exhaled tears of anxious mothers tall burst in sfiowers of mercy on his audience! There is one thought that is almost :o tender for utterance. I almost fear > start it lest I have not enough con rol of :ny emotion to concludie it. As rhen we were children we so often amne in from play, or from a hurt, or com some childisn injustice practiced pon us, and as soon as the door was pened we cried, "Where's nmother?" mid she said, "Here I am," and we bur ::d our weeping faces in her lap. So fter awhile when we getthrougth with he pleasures and hurts of this life, we till, by the pao doning mercy of Christ, nter, the heavenly home, and among he first querstions not the first but mong the first, will be the old question hat we used to ask, the question that i being asked in thousands of places ,t this very moment--the question Where's mother ?" And it will not, ake long for us to fnd her or for her o find us, for sne will have been watch ng at the window for our coming, and rith the other children of our house told of earth we will again gather ound he , and she will sap "Well hojw lid you get through the battle di ife? .have often heard fromi .atiters aba& lou but now I want to hear a tfromn rour own souls. Teli me all about it;,I ny rchildren:' And then we will tell her of all oar earthly experiences-the holidays, the marri-ages, the birth hours, the burials, the heartbreaks, the losses, the gains, the victor ies, the defeats-ani she will say: "Never mind. It is all over now. I see each one of you has a crown, which was given you at the gate.- as you came t.b rougb. Now cast it at the feet of the Christ who saved you and saved me and saved us all. Thank God we are never to part, and for all the ages of eternity you will never again have to ask, 'Where's mother?'" Animther Atlanta Sens2ationD ATLANTA. Jan. 17.-William Givens, who has no settled occupation, was ar rested here this afternoon for attempt ing to kill hits wife. About 3 o'clock this morning, Mrs. Givens was w iked from a deep sleep by the loud report of a p3t01 in her room. She sprang up wildly, instantly awake. She screamed aloud and threw out her arms for her husband, whom she supposed to be sleeping by her side. le was not there and she screamed all the louder at find ing herself all alone and unprotected. A second and a third pistol shot quick ly followed and Mrs. Givens felt a stinging sensation about her head. She fell b-ck upor her p How which was rapidly reddeuring with her own blood. She heird the voice of her husband a few feet aw;ny callimg to her not to be frigbtened and not to scream. She fell back upoa her pillow exhausted and t;ging for mercy. Her husban:d made a light and very much excited, walked ovrr to her side and discovi red that she was shiob. He helped her to stop tMi fliw of blood and after day lighI went in searen uf a physician. It wnas not until 9 o'c:ock that Givenstel e phored to the poirce. - Officers Barrett andi Bone olaced him uid r arrest and carried hi u to poliie headquarters sus pezting him of having done the shoot ing. Giv. ns proteste i innocence and said that he was awakened by the shots. He sprang out of bed at the sound of the first shot and could dis. tinctly see that sams one was firing through the window from the outside. Hetried to shi-ld himself from the fly ing bullets. and not until the firing ceased did he make any noise. Then he called to his wife admonishing her n quiet herself and stop screaming. Mrs. Givens indicated to the officers r.er belit-f that her husband had done the shooting. She felt morally certain of it, although the evidence was mainly circumstantial. Oflicer Bone believes there is no dount of Given's guilt. He says he carefully measur-a some foot prints beneath the window and compared the reasuremeuts with tne dimensions of Givefns' feet and the two correspond exactlv. He also accurately measured the horse tracks in the yard and after wards measured the feet of a horse in a lot which adjo:bs Givens' home, and found that the feet and tne tracks were of the same size exactly. Officer Bone says he thinks Givens took the horse out of te lot and tied it outside his' gate intending to made his escape on it after killing his wife. An. exhaustive search was made for the pistol, but it was no- found.. He has employed Mr. F M. Mitchell to defend him. Mrs. Givens s:3 s that her husband was al ways jealous of her and frequently ac cused her of receiving visits from a -reli known, physician, which insinua tion she denounced as without founda tion. This feeling of jealousy was a frequent source of trouble. A Rera Avis In the Senate. WASHINGTON; January 18.-Senator Walthall, of Mississippi, has resigned. The followring is the letter of resigna tion: SENATE CHAMBEn, WAsUINGTON, January 17, 1894.- ro the Hon. J. M. Stone, Governor of Mississippi-My ~Dear Sir: The condition of my health compels me to seek a milder climate for the remaind'er of the winter season. The alternative is presented me of re signing my present position cc ahsent ing myself from my post of duty at a time when it Is important that our State should have two Senators in their seats. It best accords with my sense of pub lic obligation to pursue the former course, and I trust that it may seem to my constituents, as it does to me, that in adopting it I am affording them the highest proof of my appreciation of their confidence and good will. Ilam Indebted to the people of Mis sissippi for the highest honors in their gift, repeatedly bestowed under cir cumstances which greatly enhanced their value in my estimatibon. To hold to the high trust which they have committed to me when unable from any cause to discharge 'its duties according to my own standard of faith ful service-would be an unfit return for their generosity and fidelity. Therefore I enclose you my resigna tion, and beg through you to repeat to the people of the State the expression of my gratitude and obligation for their kindness, constancy and support. I can take no action no w in relation to the Ssnai'orial termn beginning March 4:, 1895, for which I was elected in Jan uary, 1892. Eminent statesmen and awyers here, to whose conclusion I can find no answer, advise me that I| have no such present connection with that term as warrants me in dealing with it before it commences. Wneii I may lawfully act in- that matter I shall be governed, as. I am now in surrendering my commission for the current terw, by what shall ap-i ear ',o be my duty to the people ofi Missiesippi under conditions existing a, the time.

I Cheap Telephones Now; NEw YoRtK, Jan. 1.-After the 30th of this month you will be able to buy a telephone for a few dollars, and for $85 you can purchase a complete system, with all the necessary implements for both ends of the line. Httherto it would have been impossible to pur chase the instruments at any price, as they were controlled by patents own ed by the American Bell Telephone Company. The fundamental Bell telephone pat ent expired on March 7, of last year. The Bell Company, it was found, how ever, still owned the patent on the re ceiver, and no telephone system would be of mucn use without a receiver. Among other concerns which entered into the telephone business upon the expiration of the original Bell patent in March was the Shaver Corporation, of Pittsburg, Pa: The Bell Company brought suit against the Shaver Corpo ration on the receiver, citing the pat ent of Alexander Graham Bell of Jan. 30, 1877, a3 the one infringed. An in junction was promptly granted and that put an end to the opposition tele phone business for the time being. But the patent of January 30, 1877, is now about to expire, and thus both the re ceiver and the transmitter will be free to ths public. Aftce the 30th of this month tele phones will be sold like hats or cigars. Instead of paying $240 a year for the rent of an instrument you can buy one outright for less than a tenth of tnat sum. If you only wish to use it be tween your house and office, or bet ween the house and the stable, or from office to factory, you can have a line put up for a trifling sum and yon will own your system outright and can stop pay ing the exorbitant prices now charged by the Bell Company. If, hawever,vou wish a telephone for general use and have to depen'd upon the exchange, you will still be at the mercy of the Bell Company.at least for some time to come. It is evident frow the' preperations now being made in thi city and else where by manufactu rers of electrical apparatus that a big boom is expected in the sale of tele phones. A large number of instru ments have been made and these will be put on the markes January 31. Many large contracts have been maie for the supply of telephones after that date. All these new instruments will be sold outright. None will be rented. They do not differ in appearance from those of the Bel Companv,and, in fact, are smaller. Being new, they are supe rior to most of the instruments cup plied by the Bell Telephone Company, and which have been In use for years. In view of the expiration of this pat ent, the Bell Company, it is said, has about decided to abandon the private line business and the indpendent tele phone system in the smaller country towns. At present the Bell CompaLy charges $150 a year for a privat line in this city. A rich field awaits the capitalists who will engage to fight the Bell Com pany in this city, which is its strong bold. The enormous revenue which it derives from the people of New York may be judged from the fact that it charges $240 a year for a telephone in a business house. and that it has 10.000 subscibers. In Brooklyn, Jersey City and adjacent suourbs there are 10,000 additional subscribers. But from the people of this city alone it is obvious that $2,000,000 a year is taken for the use of instruments which did Dot Cost $50,000.- -World. A Rancorus Ex-Plest. KANSAS CITY, Jan. 16.-The city is wild with excitement tonight, the re Blt of a riot precipitated by an ex-priest who bitterly assailed the _Catholics. An address was delivered by J. V.~Mc Namara, said to be irom Rome. He commenced by making a rancorous at ta.k o'n the Catholics and the institu tions they hold so dear. He had not proceeded far with his harrangue when he was interrupted by groans and hisses from the audience. These only seemed to add intensity to the bitterness of his remarks, and the meeting son became a scene of howling-, excited men, and broke up in disorder. After the hail had been rleared a crowd of men gathered on the street and waited for the speaker to ap pear. When he came down from the ball he was greeted by* vells of derision, and there were cries of "hang him." His friends collected about him, and an attempt was made to pusha way through the crowd. As the angry mob crowded about McNamara and his band of sup porters, pistols were drawn and some one fired a sliot into the air. This seemed the signal of a general fight and everal shots were exchanged. One man was shot, bet he was taken away by his friends. During the gen ~ral melee McNamara, the cause of the dot, managed to escape and is hidIng somewhere in the city. After the shoot nrg, the police made an assault upon the strugaling mob and many -persons were irrested. On all of those taken into lustody. pistols were four d an d it is evident that a fight was anticipated by yoth sides and that they were prepared ; shed blood to case the difficulty re ched that stage. The city ise in a state f wild uproar and more trouble is feared >efore morning. A Successful Holid Up. ST.

CHARLESTON, S. C., Jan. 18.-In O tober last Captain Frederick V. Abbott the United States engineer in charge of the government improvements in Charleston harbor, announced in his annual report that the fifteen-foot channel of 1884 had become a twenty foot channel in 1892. A new survey of the harbor and the jetty channel was completed by Captain Abbott in De cember and has just been chartered. It shows that in two months the channel gained a depth of one foot of water. rhis means that a vessel drawing 21 feet of water can pass through the jet ty channel at high water-the least depth anywhere. in the channel being 158 feet on a smaller shoal at the har bor end of the passage. OE of thli shoal the depths in the channel are 18 3 feet next the shoal and 18.9 feet at the entrance from 'ie sea, with a depth of 27.2 feet half way between these two points. So that with the small inner shoal removed a vessel drawing 23 feet could now come into the harbor at high water with some inches of water clear under her bottom at the shallowest points and several feet clearing the rest of the channel. Considered fram every point of view, therefore, as Captain Abbott says, the latest chart "is the most favorable showing yet obtained," and it appe ir to give certain promises that. the 23 foot channel from deep water outside to deep water inside will be- obtained aL a very early day. even earlier than was expected last October. It is not safe to make predictions in regard to events occurring under water, but there has been a gain of ona foot in depth since the survey in Optober, and tere is much less work for the tide to do now than there was then. It is ex;ect ed that the small shoal which is no % iz, the way will disappear in its turn in the next sixty or ninety days, and that the nexrt official survey willsnow twen ry-three feet of water throughout the jetty channel at mean high tide.

Jan. 18.-In a c m munication receiv< d here by the steamer Australia there was Lhe assertion that Lhe deposed queen has iven iup the con est and will eue the United States tor damages for the part taken by the for mer representatives .of Lbis country at he time the provisional government was substituted. Samuel Parker, pime minister of the ex-queen and minisler Ai foreign aflairs, A. Peterson, attorney reeral, and two aembers of the catiuet t the time ofthe change in the govern ent, came 'v the same steamer. They briefiy denied the statement, depmin2 that it was important. They noticed in the telegraphic dispatces from Wash Lnton that c nsiderable weight is givea t the capital to tbib i eport. Ia consequence, Mr. Parker sent a trong teleg am to Sscretarv of S;ate Cresham, signed as prime minister of Foreign aflairs, positively denving those assertions, and declaring ttt the queen had submitted her case to tLe aroit-a Lion of the United Siates, and will pa tiently await that verdict. Mr. Parker and Mr. Peterson said that they saw the queen half an hour before they left on the steamer Australia. and she was firm in her determination to claim throne. At no time did she or any of her advisers mention the possibili tv of presenting a claim to the United tates for pecuniary assistance. HOW WOULD SHE SUE?
