Marble Punch Bowl.
Lincoln, Dec. I*.—A giant punch
bowl, hewn out of a solid block of
white Virginia marble, that once
adorned the festal board of Thomas
Jefferson, now rests instate upon an
oak table in the reception hall of Col.
William Jenniugs Bryan's home.
Mr. Bryan purchased the bowl from
Dr. J. M. Scott, of Culpeper, Va.,
with a certificate of genuineness from
Mrs. Agnes Thurnian, of Albemarle,
whose husband purchased the bowl at
Monticello.
The bowl weighs over a hundred

Official Warning:.
Dr. Bonjamin Le \ secretary of the
Stato Board of Health, ha* sont copies
of a resolution receutly adopted by
the board broadcast through the State,
warning persons against the use of im
pure water during the present drought.
The resolution states that during
the drought and for throo weeks fol
lowing the next heavy rainfall disease
germs will link in all water that has
not beeu thoroughly filtered or boiled,
or both.
It is hoped by members of the board
that the publicity which is being giv
en the resolutions will lead all persons
to exercise great care in the u?e of
water and thus prcveut an outbreak of
disease. Many water companies
through the State aro compelled to
pump water direct, giving no oppor
tunity for purification by sedimenta
tion, and this affords opportunity for
germs to hold high carnival.

Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 18.—
Leaning far out over the pulpit iu
Appleton ("Impel, big loug white beard

like a veritable patriarch. Dr. Lyman
Abbott, in a sermon to Harvard stu
dents to-night broke away from the
theology which to-day forms the basis
of the faith of millions of orthodox
Christiana aud souuded the keynote of
a new religion ibuuded, not on the
Bible, but on science and the out
reachings of the human heart.
"I wonder," he said, "if you stu

when I say that I no longer believe in
a great first cause. To-morrow the
newspapers will get hold of this and
brand me as a heretic. My God is a
great and ever-present force, which is
manifest in all the activities of niau
aud all the workings of nature.
"I believe in a Got! who is iu and
through and of everything—not an
absentee God, whom we have to reach
through a Bible or a priest or some
other outside aid, but a God who is
closer to us tliau hands or feet. Sci
ence, literature and history tell us
that there is one eternal energy, that
the Bible no longer can be accepted
as ultimate, tbat many of its laws
were copied from other religions, that
the Ten Commandments did not
spring spontaneously from Moses, but
were, like all laws, a gradual growth,
and that man is a creature, not a

"No thinking man will say there
are mau v energies. The days of poly

energy. No scientist can deny it.

even as it is now. For three years
the clouds broke and the light flashed I
through. Then they closed again.
•'Yet God has a personality. We
recognize it as we recognize the per

Only God is always working, always
creating, whereas their work is done.
God stands near us. The mother of
a deaf, dumb and blind child gives
her daughter one, two, three gifts
without being recognized. Finally,
there breaks through the child's in-j
telligence the fact that these gifts, so j
kind, so loving, spring from the same j
source. It feels the mother's hands j

her neck and kisses her. Even so

to realize His proximity aud love.

Mahanoy City, Pa.. Dec. 18.—In a
set moil of matrimony the Rev. Wil

Church of the Annunciation, at Shen

courtships and advised the young
women of the congregation not to
permit suitors to take up their time
for years in wooing and then per
haps disappoint them when their op
portunities for winning a husband
are fewer. The young men of the
parish were urged to marry early in
life. As to courtships themselves,
they should be carried on under
watchful parental supervision.
Father Sheridan scored the divorce
evil and declared that the children of
divorced parents are worse off than
orphans.

friends muoli anxiety, was heard of
yesterday in tills oity. He was also ID
Maasdale and Wasliinßtnuvilie. From
Washiugtonville lie was traced to
Money, whore he speut last night.
Two of his relatives parsed through
this city last evening onroate for
Muuoy to take charge of the man.
Tuesday morning he passed unnotic
ed through Danville and rook the road
to Maasdale. Mrs. J. H. Slioltz of
that plaoo had driven to this city, aud
ou her way home passed him. Some
time after her arrival he presented
himself at her door and askod for some
thing to eat. As it was aboot dinner
time and he was invited to remain for
the meal. The family noticed his pecu
liar actions aud appearance. He gave
no name,aud entered iuto no conversa
tion. From some blood spots on his
clothes, he appeared to have had a
fall. After diuner he thanked Mrs.
Shultz and started toward Washing
touville, audit was not nntil later to
the day when the Morning News con
tain in K an acoouut of the diaappear

and the suit oase.
Toward evening he arrived in Wasli
ingtuville. He inquired his way to the
Burgess, aud upon finding Dr. R. S.

Mausdale, his actions were most ec
oentric.£(He gave a] fictitious name,
but told the truth about his home be
ing at Oatawissa. He was very quiet,
only speaking when he was addressed,
aud then but shortly. After breakfast
yesterday he left Washiugtouville, tak
ing the road to Turbotville and Money.

word was seut to the towns between
