Frederick Schlevera, the last of the
group of evangelists which Iiub labored
in the Lackawanna and Wyoming val
leys, closed IiIm work Inst Wednesday
evening. He Is now in Montreal, prose
cuting the work in which he is so suc
cessful. During the campaign tents
have been erected in Nantieoke, Wilkes
Harre, Edwardsdale, Dorrancetown,
Miners Mills, PittBton and our city. L.
L. Moody and his corps of assistants
have given earnest and efficient ser
vice, and these labors are Bald to have
resulted in the conversion of over 3,000
souls. The specialists employed In this
work have left, the converts are here,
and the problem that confronts the
churches at present is, how to get these
men who have expressed a desire to
lead a Christian life, to become active
members of the church. The pastors
ore doing their work faithfully in cal
ling upon these persons, but In many
Instances the impulse they first felt has
died away, ond it is generally conceded
that something more effectual than per
sonal solicitation should be devised, to
lead these "almost pursuaded" men to
finally resolve and make the decisive
choice. Some churches in the city feel
that there is considerable interest
awakened in religious affairs among
their members, and they have begun a
series of meetings which are well at
tended. The evangelists who have la
bored here simply lighted the fire, and
all familiar with the spiritual life of
our city confess that It burns in sev
eral quarters with intense heat. It is
a mistake to permit this Interest to die
out. If the churches In the various sec
tions of the city could Join hands and
hold united services, the halting ones
could be helped, and those who were
interested in the campaign work would
be brought into personal contact with
the churches.
Christian Co-operation.
In speaking of co-operative Christian
WU1IV UI1IU1I5 lliuillic-a lit Hie ..tj, .
words of Josluh Strong, D. D In the
New Era are worthy of consideration.
He says: "In rare instances churches
co-operate, but so for as any compre
hensive survey of the field Is concerned,
and the wise adjustment of supply to
need, the denominations generally, like
the Jews and Samaritans, have n;
dealings one with another, Not
withstanding the protestations of
friendship on the part of denominations
and the actual love and fellowship of
many individual members of different
communions; notwithstanding we have
much more in common than in differ
ence; notwithstanding there is to a cer
tain extent an underlying spiritual uni
tyyet, so long as different chuehes are
unable or indisposed to co-operate for
the accomplishment of common objects,
so long as one church is willing to build
itself at the expense of others, so long
surely as churches are in competition
one with another, they are divided; and
while they thus remain cannot hope to
conquer the world for Christ." Co
operative action on the part of the
churches of our city, along the lines
suggested by Dr. Strong, would un
doubtedly bring in the sheaves that
have been harvested by the recent cam
paign. . - Genuine I'nlty.
Most pastors of our city are in close
touch with one another. A pastor's
union of all the clergy In the city meets
once a month, and the churches have
united in evangelistic work on several
occasions. Recent examples prove this.
But the co-operation has generally end
ed when the specialists employed have
closed their work, and the necessary
business has been finished by the execu
tive committee. This united action Is
very good as far as it goes. Were it
continued, and the thousands who are
impressed under the words of the
evangelist, confirmed In the faith by
Just such meetings as those in which
they felt the first inclination to a re
newal of life, and thus strengthened to
"stand fast and unmovable,"the results
of the efforts put forth would be more
gratifying. Systematic and united ef
forts have done wondera in cities where
they have been tried. A notable ex
ample may be seen in Washington, D.
C, where a Central Union mission is
maintained by the churches, and dur
ing last January 444 conversions were
recorded. All the pastors in their turn
give their service. From this center
twelve branches go forth to the several
parts of the city, and In these deacons,
elders, vestrymen, Sunday school super
intendents, presidents of Epworth
leagues and Christian Endeavor so-
cletles, exhort or reud or teach the
Scriptures, and once every month a
platform meeting is held In one of the
churches, and all sorts and conditions
of men speak there, and there is not a
single church In the union but welcomes
such a meeting. Great good Is accom
plished, and this joint action of the
churches has been bo blessed tnat an
over the United States there are living
witnesses of the power of lod in sav
ing even the lowest In the Central
Union Gospel meetings.
Evangelistic Work.
J. II. Malce, a blind evangelist, holds
a series of meetings In the Green Ridge
Evangelical church. Mr. Malce was
born in Dauphin county, this state. He
at present resides in Washington, D.
C. and was up to tnree years ago em
ployed in the navy department. He is
a member of one of the Methodist Epis
copal churches of the Capitol City, but
was brought up in tne evangelical
church. His eyes are apparently in a
normal condition, but the light Is gone
out of them. He gradually" lost his
sight about three years ago, and the
best medical advice has not been able
to help him. Mr. Malce was active In
church work, and was urged to begin
evangelistic services. He labored in
the city of Washington, and has proved
eminently successful in winning work
Ing-men to the gospel and reforming
drunkards. He holds two weeks' Ber
vices in all places he goes to, and has
engagements that will carry him on
the first of. next June. Last Sunday
evening was his first effort in the city,
and a meeting of remarkable power
was enloyed by an over-crowaea nouse
During this week the meetings have
been well attended. Tomorrow he will
hold at 10.30 a. m. a "union gospel
wagon feast," when he says all In the
meeting will take part. At 2 p. m. a
temperance meeting will bo held, and at
7 p. rn. he will speak on a real con
, version according to tho Idea of the
Apostle feter.

THE EARTH'S ORIGINAL SHAPE
Martin Joyce Continues His Interesting
Discussion of the Causes of the Globe's
Diurnal Rotation and of Its Yearly
Rotation and Oblateness
In attempting to describe the causes
of the earth's annual motion In an el
liptical orbit, we will begin at the win
ter solstice. Our preference for that
particular part of the orbit might seem
arbitrary, but for obvlcus reasons we
take it as the Initial point of Inquiry, as
we simply wish to reach such as desire
to acquire general knowledge of the
motion peculiar to our planet. Admit
ting the fact, or more strictly speaking,
the universal belief that when God at
the beginning had formed the earth
from quiescent and inert matter, the
planet was projected into space and
the forces of projection and attraction,
already Inherent in the particles of mat
ter since their first combination, for the
nrst time eolnstantaneously, those
forces acted upon the earth, then, as a
result, the first and shortest rotation of
the new born planet must have oc
curred at the winter solstice. And as
the earth had then a tendency, as it has
at all times, in accordance with the laws
of gravity and centrifugal force, to di
verge from the point of projection and
move in a tangent to the orbit, which
it was intended to describe, the centri
petal force instantly counteracted the
direct tendency of the earth, and thus
by the combination of the action and
counteraction of both forces, projec
tion and attraction, the earth was im
pelled in an oblique direction during
each rotation until the first annual
revolution or yearly course was accom
plished in an elliptical orbit, and for the
first time the earth had taken her place
among the planetary orbs.
Accordingly the earth s absolute mo
tion, forces, momentum and velocity
became fixed and adjusted to her opera
tions, thus making her the home of
myriads of the human race during
countless generations. And here the
human mind, realizing the harmony and
design of the universal whole, Is some
times constrained to wander into the
realms of metaphysics and look over
the domain of theology. Viewing the
laws and conditions of our own planet
with awe and admiration, we cannot
fall to discover the ubiquity of God and
the sublime harmony of His works.
Following the Earth's Path.
But to return to the causes of the
earth's annual motion, it will be neces
sary to follow her In her path bo as to
reach conclusions as to the information
in view. Then we trace the oblique di
rection of the earth's orbit and find her
In different positions with regard to the
sun, and particularly so on March 21,
when she Is neither Inclined to nor de
clined from the great luminary as ex
plained in our recent article on the
equinoxes.
In thus pursuing the earth In her path.
we should not lose Bight of the action
and counteraction of the forces of pro
jection and attraction as she moves In a
semi-circular direction towards the
Aphelion point, July 1, when both forces
reach their minimum, and become al
most equl-balanced, causing the earth
to move slowly nearly eight days. We
should also consider the Importance of
paracentric motion at the earth's ap
proach to the sun and her recession
from him. From Aphelion, we notice
how the force of projection struggles
with the force of attraction and the
earth with increased velocity rotates
dally, the orbit continually curving In
an elliptical form till the earth reaches
Perihelion, Jan. 1. Having completed
her Journey at the winter solstice, she
moves on her next annual course in ac
cordance with the laws of fluidity, grav
ity, centripetal and centrifugal forces.
At Perihelion, the forces attain their
maximum, which is at the time of our
proximity to the sun. It is here the
force of paracentric motion should be
considered, as it is the difference be
tween centrifugal and centripetal forces.
But as there was no danger at the be
ginning of our planet approaching too
near to the sun, at Perihelion, there Is
no further dread of either approach to
tne sun or recession from it,. as centri
fugal force predominates and with in
creased velocity carries the earth along
m her orbit, at the same time affecting
the momentum of the earth Itself by
the velocity and acceleration. So, we see
from year to year, that the prescient ar
rangement of the laws and forces gov
erning the earth as a planet, are uner
ring and as imperishable as matter Is
indestructible. Such laws and forces
are not the work of chance, as they
manifest accuracy, design and fixity of
purpose, we would like to enter more
fully into the subject, but we are aware
that the columns of The Tribune are
limited to other matters of public Inter
est, consequently we must resort to
brevity by submitting the following
terms wun aennitions, ana closing with
remarks on the original state and for
mation of the earth, so that the reader's
attention might be directed to further
Inquiry;
Light Propositions,
First Motion Is the transit, or change
of a body from one position In space to
anotner.
Second Velocity Is the rate of mo
tion peculiar to a body. It is variable,
relative and uniform.
Third Momentum Is the quantity of
motion of a given body measured by the
product oi tne mass or the body by its
velocity.
Fourth Force Is that material
energy which produces motion orchange
or motion anu depends on its Intensity,
direction and point of application.
Fifth Centripetal force urges a body
constantly toward the center of Its cir
cular path.
Sixth Centrifugal force Is the tend
ency which the body has to recede from
the center In consequence of the resist
ance which it offers to a deviation or
deflection from a rectilinear course the
resistance, known as inertia, being esti
mated In the direction of the radius.
Seventh The earth Is an oblate
spheroid, owing to the protrusion at the
equator and the deflection, or flat sur
face at the poles.
Eighth Matter at any given Instant,
must be either in motion or at rest. In
ert matter Is powerless to change its
state; and equally powerless when
moved to stop or change Its direction.
In order to make our brief observa
tions on the original state and forma
tion of the earth intelligible, we will In
troduce some propositions and deduc
tions: Proposition first In conformity with
the universal laws of gravitation the
essential or component parts of all
bodies mutually attract each other, and
from this arise their common centers of
Beecham's pills are for bili
ousness, bilious headache,
dyspepsia, heartburn, torpid
liver, dizziness, sick headache,
bad taste in the mouth, coated
tongue, loss of appetite, sal
low skin, when caused by con
stipation; and constipation is
the most frequent cause of all
of them.

gravity, which govern their component
parts, so as to cause all such as are in
fluid state, and do not revolve each
around its own axis, to assume spheri
cal iorms.
Deduction If two or more eaual par
ticles of matter mutually attract each
other at any given distance and mov
ing with equal velocities toward each
other, they come in contact at the mean
distance, which point may be consid
ered their common center of gravity.
From the foregoing proposition and
deduction, it is reasonable to infer that
an infinite number of particles of mat
ter might have assembled from every
direction and thereby constituted a com
mon center of gravity. Therefore, it
evidently follows that the center of
gravity in ail bodies arises exclusively
from the mutual attraction of their
component parts and not from the at
tractive principle inherent in the cen
ter of the body itself.
Proposition second, (by Sir Isaac New
ton) "According to the universal laws
of motion, the essential or constituent
parts of all bodies revolving each upon
its own axis, acqure centrifugal force
In proportion to their velocities. There
fore, as their distances are to each
other from their axis of motion, so are
their velocities ana so are their centri
fugal forces." Then, It evidently fol
lows that the equilibrium of gravita
tion appears to be destroyed in all re
volving bodies. Consequently such as
revolve around- their own axis in u
state of fluidity will depart from n
spherical form and assume that of an
oblate spherlod, whose equatorial diam
eters will exceed their polar diameters
in a ratio according to the square of
their periodical rotations.
A Proposition By Newton.
Such seem to have been the results
arising from the combined laws ofgrav-
lty, fluidity ana centrifugal force to
gether with all natural laws and forces
which constitute and govern the earth
as an oblate spheroid. We have simply
alluded to the original formation of the
earth and its fluid state for the purpose
of keeping in view the laws and forces
bearing upon the earth's annual mo
tion. For the consideration of the origi
nal state and formation of the earth
would have tocome under another head
ing. We quote the following from Sir
Isaac Newton, as it bears more weleht
and authority than anything we can
say touching the annual motion of the
earth and how it acquired Its spherlodal
lorm: "Prop. 18, Theorm 16, that the
axis of the planets are less than their
diameters drawn perpendicular to the
axis. The equal gravitation on all sides
would give a spherical figure to the
planets if it were not for their diurnal
revolutions in a circle. By that circu
lar motion it comes to pass that the
parts receding from the axis endeavor
to ascend about the equator and, there
fore, if the matter is in a fluid state, by
Its ascent toward the equator, it will
enlarge the diameter there, and by Its
descent toward the poles It will shorten
the axis." Martin Joyce.
"OBSERVED AXD NOTED."
Under this title the Examiner Print
ing house, of Lancaster, has collected
and published, in neat book form, the
charming pen sketches of country
scenes and ways which the editor of
the Kxamfner, Robert B. Risk, has
made delightful features of that news
paper's weekly edition. Written in a
fugitive manner, as a relief from exact
ing Journalistic duties, these little es
says lay no claim to depth, yet there
runs tnrougn them a vein of kindly hu
mor and quiet philosophy which ren
der them pleasant companions in a
leisure hour. One does not need to
read far Into this book to discover that
Mr. Risk has been a keen observer of
both nature and men, und that he pos
sesses the rare knack of saying what
he wishes to say, and neither more nor
less. There are times when his reflec
tions upon men and manners rise to
the dignity of Lamb or Addison; but
for the most part they are content to
follow the level of every-day human
lty, making no pretense to be elaborate
or profound.
Perhaps we cannot do beter for Mr.
Risk than to let him speak for himself
In one instance, well knowing that he
will repay the reader's attention and
inspire a desire for a more extended ac
qualntance. One of the happiest fea
tures of this author's writings is his
reproduction of favorite newspaper
verse with Introductions after the
quaint fashion of the following: "My
bachelor observation has been that a
man who calls his wife by endearing
names in public is apt to make her
cry at home. Another observation Is
that if courting did not end at the altar,
we would have more martial happiness
and fewer divorces. I seldom see a
man make love to his own wife. The
egotism of the average man, his desire
for applause and good opinion of oth
ers, and too often his evil propensi
ties, make It very easy for him to flirt
with another man's wife. The husband
of every day life feels that he is sure
of his own mate and that it is no lon
ger necessary to woo her over again.
Life with him seems to be a matter of
propriety and the paying of bills. I
know plenty of men who are true und
loyal to hearthstone, and yet who sel
dom say a word to remind them of tha
time when the stars spoke poetry, when
the nights were too short and the old
gate by the willows could give point
ers to turtle doves. All this is very
well put in these lines, by James Whit
comb Riley 'How She Lost Her
Lover.' "

The range of subjects treated by
Mr. Risk covers prety nearly every
thing in the gamut of everyday life
from running barefoot down on the
farm In June time to putting up stoves
In one's city home on house cleaning
day. Each topic Is treated in an orig
inal manner, with sympathetic appre
ciation for the foibles and weak
nesses of the boys and girls and the
men and women who are the moving
actors In this perpetual human comedy.
Very little Is said that could possibly
give offence, and while, as we have said,
the comments in most cases are not
weighty they are always interesting,
generally Instructive and never cy
nical, pesslmlstlo or corrupting. "Ob
served and Noted" Is well worthy of
a place on each household's book shelf.
SHEEP 15 CENTS A HEAD.
On of the Beautiful Effects of the New
Democratic Tariff Bill.
By the United Press.
Carrollton, O., Oct. 12. The wonder
ful effect of the new tariff bill on the
sheep market was practically demon
strated at a public sale of the personal
property belonging to the estate of
Jane Lawrence, in this county. Twenty
sheep, 3 and 4-year-old wethers, In fair
condition, sold at 48 cents a head.
Forty-Blx head of 2 and 3-year-old ewes
sold for lit cents a neaa, and nrteen
lambs brought 17 cents each.
The two lots of sheep were bought by
George Bothwell, late candidate for
sheriff on the Democratic ticket, but
who Is not In harmony with his party
on the tana queiuon. . , , ...
Has the Strength
o! Old Herctiles
Sandow, the Marvel, as Described by
Physical Director Weston.
RESULTS OP HAaD TRAIXISG
The Feats Performed by This Phenomenon
Are Real and tho Man's Musculai
Development Is One of the
. Wonders of the Century.
JEugene Sandow was born at Konlgs
berg, Prussia, on April 2, 1SC7; and up
to his fifteenth year gave little promise
of being of even average strength. He
soon, however, developed a passion for
athletics. "Panem et clrculses" be
came his adopted motto. This predi
lection was greatly fostered by a holi
day visit to- Rome where he haunted
the galleries and worshiped muscle as
pictured in the Herculean athletes. He
wanted to know why the modern race
had fallen from the high estate of mus
cular development and then and there
conceived the idea of attaining to the
ancient ideal.
This idea met with great opposition
on the part of his father, which led to a
quarrel and he was thrown on his own
resources. Having gained greatly in
strength and physique he managed to
gain livelihood by competing in various
theaters and by posing as a model. He
Joined Professor Atllla, of Brussels, and
made a tour which resulted in failure.
Here he conceived a daring scheme to
attract the attention of the public. He
paid a midnight visit to all the penny-in-the-slot,
weight-lifting machines and
wrecked every one of them by his enor
mous strength. This feat took the
town by storm and he soon secured an
engagement in one of the theaters at an
enormous salary. He then made a tour
in France and Italy, beating all comers
in wrestling. At Venice he came oft
conqueror in a contest with three wrest
lers at a time. His fame reached the
German emperor, before whom he suc
cessfully matched his strength against
that of his royal patron. He then had
a match with Muller, who tried to break
his wrist. This angered Sandow, who
hugged Muller to Buch an extent that
he felt as though dead, with four ribs
broken.
Sandow Kcscnts an Insult.
Prom Venice Sandow came to Lon
don, whre he defeated all comers. San
dow Is a cool, even tempered man and
not easily provoked to a quarrel but is
a dangerous person to insult, which one
Frenchman k. V to his sorrow. San
dow and a friend were conversing in a
Paris cafe when a Frenchman stepped
up and insulted him. Sandow advised
him not to repeat it. The Frenchman
retorted with a blow, and struck San
dow a second time, drawing blood.
Sandow caught the man by the neck
and legs, and brought his knees and
nose together several times until he
cried enough.
In Sandow's case heredity may he
left out of the question In accounting
for his phenomenal strength. Hla nat
ural genius for muscle making was
doubtless fostered In a country where
gymnastics and wrestling are of na
tional importance. Sandow's wonder
ful physical development may, there
fore, be rightly described as acquired
and the system whereby it was ac
quired form an Interesting subject for
the student of physical culture. Vigor
ous exercise with the light dumb bells
and Indian clubs; a temperate andregu
lar style of living; and a correct man
ner of breathing comprise the general
rules of his system. By practicing regu
larly and persistently these exercises,
he claims that every set of muscles in
the body receive due attention.
Studied I'ndcr A physician.
In Sandow's book a very Interesting
chapter is given on the muscles, where
they are Hltuated and what they do
He speaks with some authority, having
elven two years to the study of anat
omy at Brussels, under a distinguished
physician. One very important fact
must be borne in mind by every young
man, and that Is that flexibility rather
than hardness should be aimed at; and
in order to attain this it Is advisable to
begin with light exercise and gradually
Increase as the muscles become strong
er and on no account overtax ones
strength.
A few preparatory exercises are given
to give the necessary amount or pre
liminary work before attempting the
exercise proper. His series of exercises
compare favorably with the modern ex
ercises used In most all of the gymnasi
ums of the day; nearly all of them be
ginning at the extremities so that no
undue exertion will be placed on the
vital organs. He has invented a ma
chine for the development of the mus
cles of the legs and back.
To all who are Interested In heavy
weight lifting, Sandow's remarks and
advice on this subject will come with all
the authority of a master. The great
Becret Is to be able to distribute the
strain over the greatest number of
muscles and to correctly poise the body
and use the lower limbs. Each move
ment is carefully explained and no de
tail likely to be of use to the pupil left
out. To the majority, however, the
chief Interest of his book is his system

of light dumbbell exercises; not only be
cause of their muscle-forming qualities,
but bIbo for the benefits to health to bo
derived by their persistent use. A lik
ing for exercise will Increase with prac
tice and, to succeed, it only remains for
one to practice a good system and throw
his heart into the work.
Exercise Better Than Medicine.
Sandow says that men of all ages
should exercise. No one can be healthy
and strong without exercising regu-.
larly, and that the muscles will Increase
in size until a man 1b 65 years old. San
dow claims that health Is man's birth
right. Proper nourishment Is the first
requisite, for all growth, development
and repair of tissues are the results of
nutrition.
It Is Impossible to make rules for the
amount of food for different persons.
Kvery one should use sufficient to keep
the system free from hunger. Less than
one-half of the chldren born reach their
sixth year; and improper food contri
butes more to this death rate than dis
ease. Tea and coffee are injurious be
cause they contain alkaloids, which are
injurious to the nervous system and
stomach. Good health also depends on
plenty of sleep as well as food. Man's
great desire Is for health and long life,
and it is only by steady obedience to the
laws of health that old age may be at
tained; and by Judicious exercise, bath
ing, eating and sleeping that life may
be prolonged. My next article will treat
of breathing. R. L. Weston.
DEMOCRATIC TRICKS.
Tho lloosicr Democracy Is Driven to Des
peration by Its I'npopulurlty.
By the United Press.
Indianapolis, Oct. 12. Evidences of
Democratic distress accumulate. Con
gressman Bynum addressed an audi
ence of twenty-eight people In a strong
Democratic locality of Madison county,
His opponent, Charles L. Henry, on
the other hand, addressed 6,000 people
at Greenfield, the seat of a strong Dem
cratlc county.
The Democratic State committee has
permitted the Joint debates that were
arranged between W. D. Owen and
W. R. Myers to be advertised as If they
had not been declared off, the purpose
being to use that sort of an attraction
to draw the crowd.Thls is done In the
face of the fact that Mr. Owen, who
spent several weeks at Battle Creek
sanitarium and returned home, has
again been compelled to abandon the
field and go to the sanitarium on nc
count of nervous prostration. The
debate arranged for yesterday at Col
umbus was udvertlsed in this manner.
Democratic speakers are suffering
from another embarrassment on ac
count of generally reduced wages. In
the gas belt they are almost invariably
Interrupted by some one asking about
the wage reduction. It Is said that
wherever there are gluss blowers all
that is necessary to break down the
most finished argument of a free trade
orator is to Bhout "How about the
per cent, cut?"
