At fifteen jiuh of age he turned away rrgirt

became a bicud winner for himself and the par

parled by the throngs of people whom he met
and bargained Willi were not us fclioliitlc as
would hac conic to him dining the n,unc time
In college; but ther were of Inestimable woith
in training lilni to deal with nil tlacs ot peo

mast alii.ible gain In Columbus. During his
first winter In th.it clly he parcel through a gra
cious rcilval, nnd in Ins thought came con
clously under the e:e of fiod. I.Ike another
faithful one before him, he asked that most rea

The minister who conducted the meetings was

a jouug woman of excellent judgment olid cul
tured mind, she was a woitliy companion and
Inlioier. The attiactiic home life and winning
spirit of Mm, Kdg.ir cannot be ouicfllinUcd in
summing up Mi. Kdgar's life woik. Two ye.n.s
at Morris were followed by one at North Alung
ton, near Sciauton, a stepping stone to moie
important wcik in Hethany, W.ijne county. The
next remoial was to Woicotcr, X. Y., still
higher up the leiioce of eonfciencc appoint
ments. A gicat iinlustri.il awakening was now
Ftining in the I,ackaann.i lalley, and Mr. Ill
gar was called to Dunniore, P.I., where his det
hand and consecrated spiut found u lltting Held.
Tho middle aged and oldT people soon learned
to loic and liiust him, the loung people were en-
tinned with his peisonullly, mid the work of the
church went steadily forward. Ilk congregation

not inaiked by impiovrnients In chine h property,
for none wcio needed; but his pastorate will be
rcnieinbc'icd as contributing lo the ehaioctcr and
power of the church, and as a period of delight
ful relations between pastor and people, Tho
congregation of the Owe go Methodist i:plscopil
church welcomed Mr. lllgor.s family with un
usual cordiality, when they were stationed tliere
two 5 ears ago, and stood by them heioically and
loilngly through the shadows that soon gatheied
oier them. Only a few weeks had passed in (he
new field, when Mr, lllgar was piostrotrd with
a dangeious attack of appendicitis. He lii'gered
a few days on the bonier between lifo and death,
and recovery when it began was icry slow.
Mis. lllgor'i! health, inipalieil gicotly when she
left Scranton, eletllned rapidly through the fall

jcar. Her husband, bioken neailcd oier Ids loss,
held himself resolutely to wuik, nnd blessings
fell on his church in Owego ,ti well as elsewhere.
Oicrwoik, however, and a lecuneuce of appen

NEW ROUTE INTO AFRICA.
Steamers nnd Porters to Connect tho
Sea with Lake Tanganyika.
Prom tho JCcw Yolk bun.
A company has been organized In
Germany under the name of tho Cen
tral African Lakes Company to create
a regular transport borvlco from tho
coast to Lako Nyassa and thence to
Lake Tanganyika, employing 8,000 na
tive carriers. Tho company will carry
goods for the Germuu government, for
the stations of Cjngo Free Stute In tho
southeastern part of us territory and
for the numerous missionary and trad
ing posts that aro distributed over tho
country.
Tho advantage of this routo Is tho
largo amount of water transportation
it affords. Vessels from lluropo muy
unload their cargoes at C'hlnde In tho
Zambesi deltu and river boats will
carry, the freight up the Zambesi and
its Shire tributary to tho rapids In
that water, A portage of sixty miles
will thou ho required. At the head of
tho rapids the trelght will bo trans
ferred to steamboats liuuuil for thu
head of Lako Nyassa, 300 miles away.
Another portage of 1!0Q miles will then
bo required to the foot of Lako Tan
ganyika, whence German steamboats
Mill bo able to deliver tho freight at
ports along tlio thousand miles of Tan
ganyika coasts.
The land portage along tho old e'liia
van route between Zunzlbar and Tan
ganyika Is S00 miles In length, Tho
new l'oute will Involve only 2C0 miles
of land portage, and will thus affect
a largo saving of tlmo and expense.
Tho development of their gi;eat terri
tory In Kast Africa will doubtless de
mand from the Germans the building
of railroad straight from the Zunssl
bar coast to Tanganyika. The routo
which they now propose to utilize Is
to be opened becauso tho railroad which
the British have completed from tho
Indian oceun to Victoria Nyaiuti'

routo most of tho trado tho Germans
have been currying overland to Tup

competition for thu trade of Central
Africa will soon compel tho Germans
to build this railroad, but meanwhllp
the new route by I.ako Nyassa will bo
much cheaper and better than their
enravon road to Central Africa which
is now employed.
