WILL BE HIDDEN FROM PUBLIC
Declaration of Independence Will Be
Kept Under Lock and Key. j
Washington, April 25. The Declara
tion of Independence is to be seen no
more by the public. An order has been
Issued that henceforth the historic
manuscript shall be kept under lock
and key in a great fire and light proof
safe. The Declaration will never be
exhibited again at any of the great in- j
ternatlonal fairs. This decision was
reached as the result of an examination
of the document by a committee of the
American Academy of Sciences, now in
session in this city, who acted at the
instance of Secretary Hay, whose at-J
tention has been called to the sad state
of the famous document by Andrew!
Allen, librarian of the state depart
ment. Most of the text of the Declara-,
tion is still loglblo, but only one or two
of the sirnntures can be made out'
There In di;y a traca of the autograph
of John Hancock, the first to sign.
The djiumcnt wa3 photographed
and then locked up. The committee'
has recommended that at certain long
intervals of time it be taken from its
case and re-photographed, the purpose
being to measure as nearly as can be
done the result of the protective steps.

and drew him out of. the temp.e: and forth

tidings came unto the chief captain of the

centurions, and ran down unto them: and
when they aaw the chief captain and the
soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
S3. Then the chief captain came near, and
took him, and commanded him to be bound
with two chains; and demanded who he
was, and what he had done.
34. And some cried one thing-, some an
other, among the multitude: and when he
could not know the certainty for the tu
mult, he commanded him to be carried Into
the castle.
S3. And when he came upon the stairs,
so It was, that he was borne of the sol
diers for the violence of the people.
36. For the multitude of the people fol

NOTE 3 AND COMMENTS.
Last Sundiiy e left Paul urd
company as guests at the home of Phil
ip, the evangelist. To-day they con
tinue their journey.
From Cacsarcn to Jerusalem was
TO miles, anil ut least the first part of
it was probubly made ou horeehack.
The home of Mnason, one of the Chris
tians, served the travelers as a half
way house. The Chrit'tinns were nl
rcady a great brotherhood. Those
who were traveling1 were sure oflinil
ii n cordial and hospitable welcome
from the members of the brotherhood
who lived along the way, whether they
had ever seen each other before or not.
James, the brother of Chrift, was the
recognized head of t he church, and :t
ivus to him, with the other ollieers,
r .it Paul reported the wonderful wn.v
in which God had blessed the work
among the Gentile.
The officers of the church felt kiudly
tfiward Paul, and rejoiced in his work,
but warned him that such was not the
general feeling even among the Chris
tian Jews, who considered him one of
the most dangerous of heretics be
cause he taught that observance of
the ceremonial law was not essential
to the salvation of anyone, Gentile or
jew.''Just'-ttiiia tlnie the city wiS-
full of Jewish pilerims come to the
feast. Among them were Paul's old
r nemies frm Asin. The church of
ficers feared I rouble, and so advised
the conciliatory move of verse 23. J'mil
himself had come to Jerusalem with
his heart set on bringing Jew and Gen
tile Christians into sympathy and tt
a better understanding. It was with
tliat purpose thai he had gathered the
free-will offering from the one branch
of the church for the other. The of
ficers urged 1he plan, and Paul yielded,
though we ennnot believe that he did
so without misgiving. The result was
disastrous, and yet in the providence
of God it opened the way for Paul's
work in Rome.
At the sight of Paul the hatred of
his old enemies flamed up, and his be
ing in the temple probably made them
more angry. They accused him of be
ing an enemy of (1) the Jews (the
people), (2) the law, and (3) the tem
ple. "Dragged him out of the temple:"
so as not to defile It with his blood.
"Chief captain of the band:" The co
hort' of soldiers garrisoning the castle
of Antonia, which joined the temple
court on the north, came out to stop
this Jewish riot. About 000 men were
stationed there. "The stairs:" Lead
ing up from the 4eraple court to the
castle, which overlooked it.
Xow out of reach of the mob, Taul
had a chance to speak to the- chief
captain, who was surprised at being
addressed in Greek. "Art not thou
that Egyptian:" Who would al
most certainly speak Greek. The
chief captain thought he had got hold
of a "wanted man." Supposing thot
the Egyptian did not speak Greek, the
meaning would be: "Thou art not,
then, as I supposed," etc. "The
Egyptian:" A fanatic who had claimed
to be a prophet and had gained a large
following among the dangerous ele
ments of the people. "Assassins:"
Literally, Men of the Dagger. They
were a secret order whose object was
to rid the land of its opponents by as
sassination. Paul here makes one last supreme
effort to recover the situation. In the
address he shows, by tellingthe story
of .his life, the falseness of the three
charges made against him in 21:23.
His effort was iu vain.
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
We are liable at any time to have
our Christian courage and manhood
tested without warning.
It will make no difference how sud
den the test may be if we are Christ's
tt rough and tirough.
Thai way to be a hero on a great oc
eeaio fa to meet one'e daily duties
one by iu without flinching.
It Is easy to love one's friend, but he
has the trae Christian spirit who loves

Christianity has made . its" way
through the world by testifying tu
those who were persecuting it. .

Following the action of the Chicago
Union Leugue club at its annual meet
ing in voting to build a new clubhouse,
trork will be begun, as soon aa the finan
cial plans are completed, on a building
that will stand comparison with any
ctructure of it kind in the world.
According to D. II. Eurnham, the
architect of the building, the Univer
sity, Union League and Metropolitan
clubs in New York wentto the extreme
of lavishness in fitting their respec
tive homes with costly inside materials,
and in this respect will probably out
rank the new Chicago buildiug, but

in no other particular will any of the
leading club homes of the world sur
pas:s that of the new Union Lpr.gue in
Chicago, The cost of t lie building w ill
be about $1,000,000.
The frontage tn Jackson boulevard
will be 100 feet and on Fourth avenue
130 feet, und the height U n stories
above the sidewalk. The architectural
style is the Italian renaissance, the
front to be almost entirely of stone,
probably of some light color. The en
tire structure will be thoroughly fire
proof. The basement will contain
power plant, cold storage and wine
storage rooms. The ground or entry
floor will be reached from the side
walk by two steps leading into a miotic
lobby, on one side of which w ill be a
coatroom and visitor's room and on
the other the plliccrs' and' directors'
rooms. In yie rear w ill be the barber
shop nnd lavatories. From this floor
a stone staircase will lead to the grand
hallway on the main floor, which will
contain two rooms, each 06 by 50 feet,
connected with a hallway, a large re
ception room and retiring room for
women. A dining room across (lie en
tire Jackson boulevard front, a central
hell 40 by 50 feet, a breakfast room
30 by 43 feet, kitchens nnd serving
rooms w ill take up the next floor. Here
the nd staircase end. The lib -nry
banqut 'w,rv diiring rco'ns
and private' . 0 ".. jiiiSvvfl occupy
the fourth floor.
More than 100 bedrooms, each with
balh room that opens- to the outside
air, will occupy the fifth, sixth, seventh
and eight floors. Some of these bed
rooms will be very large nnd all will
be extremely airy and pleasant, The
ninth floor will be devoted to servant,'
qnnrters.nnd storage.
The interior finish of the first three
floors will be stately, 'the material be
ing cement so tn.st and colored as to
give the fullest architectural treat
ment, as in the old Florentine houses.
There will be little wood or marble.

start brood-rearing briskly, ami If the
picei) is at fault, substitute another.
Therefore, we have little to fear from
any disease that docs not attack the
brood or young hatching bees. Luck
ily, we have but one mch disease, "f uul
brood." The novice iu lice-keeping
net'd not be at loss to know foul brood
at sight. It has two features which
make it easily distinguishable from
"black brood" and "pickled brood,"
which sume what resemble it. Foul
brood always has un odor somewhat
resembling that of a glue pot, and the
matter contained in the cells is always
ropy, will stretch like rubber nnd
snap in the middle.
Of late years a good deal has been
written about what, for a better name,
lias been termed "pickled brood;' and
another disease of like nature has
gained considerable headway in many
apiaries in New York, which is nt pres
ent terwt'd -" Tc ood." The dis
eases are not so well understood ns
yet as Is foul brood. We arc not pre
pared to state positively whether these
diseasesarecontagiousor not. For sev
eral years we had what appeared to be
pickled brood in both of our yards,
some colonies had only a few cells of
dead brood scattered here and there
with the cuppings sunken down slight
ly, nnd a little pin hole in most of
the diseased cells, and in some cases
it seemed as if the young bees matured
to the point of hatching and then died.
They would cut their way partly out
of the cell, but seemed to lack the
strength to come clear out. All the
diseased matter was usually left in the
cells, as the bees seemed very unwilling
to clean them out. We were alarmed
when the disease first made its ap
pearance, but soon decided that it was
not serious, for with one exception
the colonies affected showed up about
as well as their healthy neighbors. The
excepted colony was si riou. Iv affected
for two seasons, and in the full. of !:;'.,".)

WASHINGTON IS PLEASED
Russia's Answer Set at Rest Menace
to American Trade.
Washington, April 28. Considerable
Interest was shown hero in tho des
patch from St. Petersburg giving a
categorical answer from the Russian
foreign office to Inquiries regarding
the eight demands which aro said to
have been made on China in connec
tion with Manchuria. It was regarded
as of great importance ,and If homo
out by subsequent Information
through diplomatic channels, will give
general satisfaction nnd meet in a
large degree the desires of our gov
ernment. It was in relation to the first two
demands that tho United States was
j interested principally, and it was these
j demands which prompted it to ad
! dress notes of inquiry and protest to
; St. Petersburg and Pekln. They In
volved severe restrictions to Ameri
can trade, and tho United States,
thoreforo, was prompt to protest. The
assurance of tho Russian foreign of
fice would seem to set at rest nny
serious menace in that respect. Tho
replies of the Russians regarding tho
other demands also caused a feeling
of relief here, and the hope of tho
officials is that Russia's position is
fully and correctly sot forth.
Protest from Conrjer.
Tckln, April 28. Minister Conger
has sent a noto to Prince Chlng. the
grand secretary, protesting against
two features of Russia's .proposed
Manchuriaa agreement, which nro
considered particularly antagonistic to
. American interests.
' The note objects to China promis
ing not to open more towns to foreign
trade, because negotiations are pro
gressing la connection with the Amer-
, Icaa commercial treaty for the open
lag ef Uakdea and Taku Shan, and it
bjeets to promising that the foreign
emsloyss in China shall only be Rus-
' laai.
fke Ualted States withholds
yretsloa regarding the other demands,
but il preeared to Insist on her treaty,
, rights If infractions occur.
