THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG. PA. TALKS eY THE WAY. A Kans.u mm who recently vis- ;d Pugct Sottiul says he was sadly isappointed in the battle ship Iowa. I expected," said he, "to see a st amount of iron and steel, with reat guns sticking out in every di- jction, while from her bowels Tould come continuously a deep, oarse prowl, like a bulldog baf- ed of its prey. Instead, it looked lore like a raft with little houses .ad cheeseboxes set on it, and the mly growling we heard was from he non-commissioned officer who ;aid we couldn't come aboard." When a crowd of citizens of Jeechburg. Ky., enraged at the milding of a Mormon church in hat town, were about to set fire to t, they learned that the edifice had ,ust been insured in view of this irery contingency. They accord .ngly chopped the church to pieces, :akinir care that no piece of timber uld be used again, and if none of .he splinters are used to make bon- ires of the elders will probably .ose their insurance. The story is told that when Gen oral Ludlow was stationed at De :roit in charge of the river and har xr work, a contractor visited him who wanted to do some Govern nent work. With his visiting card :he contractor put on the table a ifty-dollar bill. General Ludlow Irew forth two cigars and gave the ajntractor one of them. Then -.tuning to the table, and not seeing i match, he took the fifty-dollar note, twisted it into a lighter, set it iflame at the open grate fire, and it his cigar with it slowly and care ,'ully. Then he handed the burn ng stump of the bill to the con .ractor. A peasant called Makaroff, who dleges that he is the Messiah, has jiade his appearance in the Russian Trovince of Samara, on the olga. vlakaroff is a middle aged man, shose features are said to resemble hose attributed to Christ by early 3vzantine artists. According to vlakaroff, Samara and the neigh wing provinces are being pun shed bv periodical visitations of lestilence and famine, not as the esult of drouth, or the scarcity of abor, or any of the other alleged :auses, but because of the sins and .hortcomings of the people. The new Messiah has selected ten women. f his following as his special min strants. These he calls " the ten wise virgins." They serve as his nessengers and as the exponents unong the peasantry of his peculiar news. WILLIAM W. POULKROD. First Vice-President National Export Exposi tion, Philadelphia. Pa. William W. Foulkrod, First Vice- President of the National Export Ex position, and one of the trustees of the Philadelphia Museums, was born in Philadelphia, November 22, 1846, in the section known as Frankford, where the Foulkrod family resided for eight generations. from July 1, 1890, when Mr. roulk- rod became a member of the firm of Hood, Foulkrod & Co., he has devot ed himself to the management of what is one of the largest wholesale dry goods houses in the country. Hood, Foulkrod & Co. was organized to suc ceed the old firm of Hood Bonbrieht & Co., which was the name under which John Wanamaker conducted his wholesale business from 1887, the date he purchased it from Hood, Bon bright & Co. The firm has been in existance in Philadelphia since 1823. 4t vvV tew w. The Death of Colonel Ingersoll. If the death of Colonel Ingersoll 'las been a relief to the religious people of the country, their resig nation to it has found very slight expression. Many good persons ind some deacons and persons of known piety, have mourned for him anaffectedly. He was a genial, icind man, devoted to his family and his friends, and beloved by them, ind cordially liked also by a great aumber of acquaintances. The sentiment that obtained very widely rwenty years ago, that he was an :missary of Satan, whose chief de light was to promote the progress f the injudicious towards eternal junishment. has of late years very jiucn aiea away, xso aouoi nis 'jbisterous hostility to revealed re lgion hurt hint. It did not take a profound mind to see that most of lis discourse on religious matters, .hough, in a way, eloquent, was shallow, and that he spent nueh time and strength in kick ng dead dogs an exercise vhich, though amusing to his aud ences, and financially profitable to .limself as a lecturer, did not add to is reputation as a ihinker or a nan. Religious belief has pro iressed very much in the United itates since the day when Colonel .'ngersoll began to combat it. Few -ane persons nowadays distress hemselves about the fate of unbap- ized infants, or about foreordin- ..tion and the prospective dis:omfit ire of persons who had not the ;ood fortune to be of the little com any of the elect. It would seem s if we of this generation had more confidence, theoretically, in the goodness and justice of God han our grandfathers had, and vere readier to dismiss from our ainds without scruple or struggle ntentions imputed to Him by theo logians which seem contrary to cur nstinctive sense of justice. We are .atished that God is good, and in iny theology which, to our minds represents him as cruel, we simply iay there is some mistake. K. S. Martin, in Harper's Weekly. W. FOULKROD, FIRST VICE-PRESIDENT NATIONAL EXPORT EXPOSITION. In addition to his connection with the large establishment, Mr. Foulk rod' devotes much of his time to muni cipal aflairt. He has always been a strong advocate and leader in most public movements having for their ob ject making Philadelphia an attractive business center. He was one of the originators, and has been for eight years president 01 the 1 rades League, the largest commercial organization of Philadelphia and one of the largest in the country. Mr. Foulkrod is a leader in the club life of the Quaker City, having served on the Legislative Committee of the Manufacturers' Club for several years. He is also a member of the Art Club or Fmladelphia, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and the Citizens' Per manent Relief Committee, which is the only body of its kind in the Unit ed States. It is organized for the purpose of extending relief to famine and flood sufferers in any part of the world. As first President of the Philadel phia and Frankford Railroad, Mr. Foulkrod was largely instrumental in hastening its completion. He still continues in its management. He is President of the Board of Trustees of the Frankford Presbyteriin Church; a director of the Frankford Mutual Fire Insurance Company: also of Frankford Library, and is connected as well with quite a number of other charitable and business organizations local to Philadelphia.

Wedding Gave Way to Dealn From the acme of happiness to the depth of despair in one short moment. Such is the cruel fate of Miss Albina Peters, a pretty East Stroudsburs cirl. Thursday, last, was to have been her wedding day; instead, she is mourn ing her fiance, who was drowned at a Jersey coast resort. There came, on Thursday, for Mrs. Simon Albert, a sister of Miss Peters, a telegram announcing the accident. Jt stated that J. W. Brown was drowned yesterday. They broke tlie news gently to Miss Peters, who bore up bravely until night. Then she broke down, and is suffering from nervous prostration at the home of Father Barnhart Peters, near the Mil ford Crossing. Mr. Brown was well known. The ceremony was to have taken place at Stroudsburg, and the couple had plan ned a honey moon by the sea. General Funston, of Kansas, who conies out of the Philippine campaign the popular hero of the fighting, is guilty of treasonable" sentiments in a recent letter. He says : 'S'range as it may seem, I am al most a peace-at-any-price'man. When life and property can be saved, it is almost a crime not to follow that rule, whatever the circumstances arguing against it. I am a Republican, but I an an an'.i-expansionist, though not a bitter one, Big syndicates and cap italists will be greatly benefited by the retention of the island, but outside of few exceptional individual cases I can see no advantantage in their posses sion by the United States. The islands are so thickly populated and labor so cheap there certainly is no inducement for the America laborer." It is a fact, so far as any benefit to this country is concerned, that we are lavishing blood and treasure, as Colonel Funston says, for "big syn dicates and capitalists." American labor has no share, save to enlist and pay taxes. Ex. Special Ten-bay Excursion To Ocean Grove, Asbury Park, or Long Branch, yia Pennsylvania Railroad.

The shooting of the enemy has greatly improved since last Tune. They also are fighting more desperately than ever. Their trenches, he says, are as strong as any in the world, some being fifteen feet deep. Lately several modern field pieces were landed by filibusters. G. A- R. "ENCAMPMENT, PHILADEL PHIA.

The climate and Crop service of th department of Agriculture has prepared some interesting data on the agricultural condition in Pennsylvania. " The temnerature for tlie wesk was slightly above the normal, with an average amount of sunshine. The rainfall was very unevenly distributed and in anount ranged from very light to heavy downpours. The latter were local and quite limited, but damaging to crons. In some portions of the state more rains has been sullicient for the crowincr crons. Some of the ground is too dry for plowing. The conditions were generally fav orable for late haying and the harvest ing of oats, both of which are well advanced and the crops secured in good condition. Most of the growing crops made good progress, out in some localities they would be improv ed by a more generous distribution of rainlall. The clover" fields have improved and a eood yield of seed is in prospect. Most of the standing oats were cut during the week and the greater por tion housed. Thus far the crop has nearly all been secured in good con dition, and the yield is generally above the average. Exceptionally large yields are reported from some counties. Some of the crop has been thrashed. Corn continues promising, has eared well, and, with good maturing weather will be a larce crop. More moisture is now needed in many fields. Early potatoes are turning out quite well, and with sufficient rains the prospects are favorable for a good late crop. There are some complaints of rot and hugs. Buckwheat is making rapid growth in blossoming well, and a good yield is anticipated. The growth of tabacco has not been large. Some has been injured by hail and some topped.
