JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN.
H Is Sure to Retain
Hit Seat In Parliament.
London, Nov. 10. Joseph Cunmber
laln will be one of the first members
of the new parliament, lie has been
again chosen by the Unionists, despite
his 111 health, to represent West Rlr
uihmham, and he will not bo opposed.
Mr Chamberlain has represented this
constituency since 1S70.
The I'nlonlsts of Ulster nre fiercely
npltnted over the renewed prominence
of the home rule movement and are
breathlnp threats of fire nnd slaughter.
The Ulster Unionists council had a se
ries of meetings at Belfast, at one of
which It was agreed to draw up a dec
laration refusing to pay taxes or rates
Imposed by any Dublin parliament or
to obey any decrees Issued by such a
parliament. The meeting appointed a
committee to organize Ulster men Into
regiments. Fifty thousand dollars was
subscribed to buy arms. The Orange
men are In deadly earnest, and If the
Liberals return to power to establish
home rule Ulster will become an armed
camp within a few weeks.
The Marquis of Londonderry at a
meeting at Belfast declared that homo
rule meant the placing of the Protes
tant neck under the Roman Catholic
heel, and he predicted that Ulster would
never obey a home rule parliament.

THE KING'S BEWILDERED DISCI
PLE.
International Bible Lesson for Dec.
4, '10 (Matt. 26:31-35, 69-76).
A great doal of sharp criticism
has been directed nt Simon Potcr bo
causo of his denial of Christ on the
morning of the Master's arrest. Ho
has been chargod with cowardice,
vaccllatlon, self-importance, rash
ness, blasphemy, hot temper, and a
deslro to protect himself nt nil haz
ards. Most peoplo put Peter and
Judas In the same category when
they refor to the events that led to
the arrest nnd crucifixion of Christ
But let us not be too hard on tho
man who on that tragic morning cer
tainly did dony his Lord. He cuts
an unmanly figure, It Is true, as he
comes stealing furtively In to the
Judgment hall, but wo must not for
get that he did como there tho only
ono of tho disciples who had nny
courage left with tho exception of
John. It 1b to his credit also, let It
not be overlooked, that ho was the
only man who had pluck enough to
draw a sword and striko In his Mas
ter's defense How ho would have
smashed into that mob had ho been
permitted to do so! And here Is
where his bewilderment was greatly
Increased. The thing that puzzled
Peter was that his Hon hearted Mas
ter should submit to bo arrested like
an ordinary being, when he knew
him to bo possessed of such marvel
ous power that with a look or a
word He could have annihilated the
riotous mob. Peter had any amount
of physical courage. Just a few
hours before ho had called attention
to the fact that the company had
two swords, and when Christ said
"It is enough" ho took it for granted
that he had tho Master's consent to
use the weapons if necessary. But
when, In loyal allegiance, the disci
ple had struck out nt tho first head
that showed Itself, only to be sharply
reproved for smiting, and tho dam
age repaired on tlio spot, how could
he help being bewildered by tho ap
parent Inconsistency.
Substituting Saltpeter for St. Peter.
If Christ had organized an earthly
kingdom Peter would have made a
magnificent commander-in-chief of
the army. His sword would have
flashed In the thickest of the fight. If
he could have dealt out saltpeter on
the heads of Christ's enemies what a
warrior he would have been. But
hero he was ready to defend the
Master to the last drop of his blood,
and was not permitted to lift a fin
ger In His defense. Peter had not
begun to learn tho power of per
sonal piety over brute force. The
world has been a long timo learning
that the evangelism of gunboats and
benevolent assimilation is not the
Christ method. Wo can never sub
stitute saltpeter for St. Peter.
I Doctrine of Non-Resistance.
We cannot wonder much at the be
wildered disciple when we remem
ber that we have not yet learned the
Christ doctrine of "turning the other
I cheek." We are living yet in tho
' age of muscular Christianity. Pugi
lism still has a mighty attraction to
the masses. Our motto to this day
is "In timo of peace prepare for war."
Napoleon's boast that "God is on the
side of the heaviest battalions," finds
a response in the average mind. We
all feel that if the Kingdom of God
can be hastened a little by a war
fleet trip around the world It is good
, policy to send them along and pay
the bills. It Is supposed to exert a
good moral Influence on the rest of
tlon has an extended coast-line to de
fend, to let them all see that we
have the dogs of war with which to
defend them.
; Peter felt Just that way, and h
was cut loose from his moorings ut
terly, when to his amazement He
who had all power In heaven and on
earth, said to him, "Put up thy
sword into its sheath." Evidently
1 Jesus had the motive that made Him
superior to carnal methods, but Peter
had not caught a glimpse of it then.
This was the state of mind of the
great disciple when he followed the
crowd afar off, drew near the court
room where the farce of a trial was
going on, crept in among the ser
vants, his heart breaking with the
shame, insult, and humiliation that
, had been heaped upon his Master,
unwilling to permit Him to be taken
out of his sight, hoping every mo
ment for some manifestation of pow
er that would have caused him to
fly instantly to the side of his Lord.
In such a state of utter confusion
and bewilderment It is no wonder
that he broke down when tho nag
ging servant kept lancing him with
the insinuation and direct charge of
being a disciple, and his old fisher
men habit of profanity leaped up and
overwhelmed him. It was a mighty
test of a raw recruit, and It is to his
credit that tho act and tho reproach
ful look of Christ sent him weeping
and penitent out of tho court.
Tears on the face of some men
mean little, but when such a giant
I as Simon Peter weeps, you can make
up your mind that there are moral
I depths within him, like tho deep sea
which only tremendous upheavals
can stir. Peter was a deep sea Chris
tian and he redeemed himself for
this one lapse In tho immediate fut
ure and the subsequent history of
the church. Let those who sin as
grievously repent us hoartlly,
LA FCUNI
FAME IN OLA!
Gave This Art "New Lite and
Excellence."
RANKED HIGH AS PAINTER,
Recognized as Head of His Profession
In America Despite Many Detractors.
Evolved Artistic Qlassmaking While
Recovering From Illness In Early
Seventies.
.
John La Fnrge, who died recently In
a Providence (ft. Li hospital In his
seventy-sixth year, had been working
for years upon the manuscript of a
book which was to tell tho story of
his long career as an artist It was
said that be had Just before his break
down overtaxed his strength by his
labors upon this volume.
He did not set out In youth to be an
artist, but came to be recognized as
the head of his profession in Amer
ica. He had many detractors, yet his
eminence was recognized even by
them. Some of his confreres pro
nounced him after tho death of Puvls
de Chnvnunes the greatest living mural
painter, and nobody thought of deny
ing him first place as a worker in
stained glass, so called. To this art
ho gave a new life and a new excel
lence, the world's authorities assert
Native of New York.
La Farge was born in New York In
1S35. His father was a Frenchman
who took part In General Leclerc's ex
pedition to Santo Domingo In 1S0G and
JOHN ZiA FAROE.
escaped from Imprisonment there to
establish himself in America, where
he married the daughter of a planter
from Santo Domingo, a miniature
painter of some skill and the artist's
first instructor.
Enabled by the comfortable circum
stances of the family to consult his
own wishes at leisure In the choice of
a profession. La Karge ufter a classical
and legal education In this country
went abroad to travel and to study
art chielly as an accomplishment
After his return to America he en
tered n lawyer's office. Finally, how
ever, he gave himself up 'to urt and
begun to study the technique of paint
ing under William M. Hunt who bad
a studio in Newport R. 1. In IStJO he
married Margaret Perry and for the
next few years devoted himself with
great Intensity of purpose to master
ing the science of his art working
chiefly in landscape and producing
faithful nnd beautiful transcript of
Newport scenes. The canvas called
"Bishop Berkeley's Bock." which was
on exhibition In New York a few
years ago and which dates back to
1888. shows the dignity and distinction
not so much of his method as of his
vision.
Illness Brought Fortune.
It was not until tho early seventies
that La Fnrge became interested In
the practical problems of glusmnakiug.
but from that time on his mind work
ed on the possibilities of that material
as a medium of urt It bus long tx-eu
known how he made his experiments
first lu his sickroom when recovering
from a serious Illness be umused him
self by placing together bits of opales
cent nnd transparent glass, then luter
In bis studio, with a single workman
to aid him. until finally he was In full
possession of his wonderful craft uud
had Introduced to the world the new
material known ns "American" glUHS.
Although In his Inter years he con
tinued to paint and quite recently did
a number of Important mural decora
tions for public buildings in different
parts of the country, his gluss Is the
most imposing monument to his tame.
The last window produced by him is
the one now In the Worcester museum,
the "peacock widow." In which a
peacock against n background of pe
onies gives opportunity for the ex
pression of that marvelous sense of
color which In his glass alone the
artist revealed In all Its richness.
Trinity church, Boston, cuntnlns a
number of his windows, which, to
gether with the paintings In tho
( church, represent practically his first
work of Importance In church decora
tion. In Memorial hall, Cambridge,
Mass., is what is called the "battle
i window." made In 1878. In which ho
used every varlrty of glass possible
nnd even precious stones.

OF INTKRI2ST TO THE
BIG ARMY OF GRANGERS.
Forthcoming Convention of National
Grange Promises .Much.
The forthcoming convention of tho
National Grange, which Is to meet
In Atlantic City, November 25, Is of
tho greatest posslblo Importance ac
cording to O. L. Frlsbeo, Vice-President
of tho Nntlonal Illvers and
Harbors Congress for Now Hamp
shire. In urging upon tho Patrons of
Husbandry, ns the Nntlonal Grange
was originally known, tho necessity
of some nlllrmatlvo action looking
to the Improvement of tho watcr
wnys, Mr. Frlsbeo said:
"This order hns been very active
In tho matter of securing parcels
post nnd lower express rate, now
why stop there? The3o will only
bring tho seed nnd tako away the
small truck of tho farm cheaper
than before. They should take up
the policy of Improving our water
ways, and tints Becuro cheap trans
portation for their products. A par
cels post will mako express rates
cheaper and water transportation
win iiiukc run rates cueaper anu
create Industries, thereby giving a
market at homo for the products of
the farm. Water rates are from one
sixth to one-tenth what rail rates
are. Transportation effects what
ever anybody buys, sells, eats, wears
or uses In any way, water, air and
sunshine excepted.
"The first question before the
world is how to feed tho peoplo, nnd
It is tho business of the Grange to
feed the world and they should make
it their business to secure the cheap
est transportation of their products
and as quickly as possible. For the
price of the products of a farm Is
not determined on the farm, but at
the market. A bushel of wheat is
worth what It will bring In Liver
pool less the freight, and if It
went all rail from the farm to that
grain market there would be nothing
left for tho farmer. Strange as it
may seem water transportation is
quicker than rail. The average
speed of a freight car Is 23 miles for
a day of 24 hours, while one tug
takes down the Ohio River 70,000
tons of coal 100 miles in 24 hours.
It would require a train of cars 15
miles long, with each car carrying
30 tons of coal to take the Ohio
tow. Water transportation with re
frigerator barges will solve the food
problem of the world, and the
Grange at their national meeting at
Atlantic City on November 26, should
urge upon Congress the great neces-
l sity of improving the waterways of
uie country in order to give relief
for tho high cost of living, by giv
ing cheap transportation to the pro
ducts of the country."
It is expected that a large dele
gation will be appointed by the Na
tional Grange to attend the seventh
convention of the National Illvers
and Harbors Congress which will be
held in tho city of Washington. De-
I cember 7-9, and which gives promise
oi exceeding in number any former
convention of this great waterway
organization.
How to Detect tho Presence of tlio
Peacli-Tree Borers.
A Chester county correspondent
sent some specimens of peach leaves
to Professor H. A. Surface, state zoo
logist, Harrlsburg, Pa., and asked
for Information concerning the pres
ence or absence of Peach-tree Bor
ers. To this inquiry Professor Sur
face gave he following reply:
"Leaves of trees will not give any
evidence as to whether borers are
present or not. You can tell this by
looking around the base of each
tree, and see if there Is gum there
that contains fine particles or grains
like sawdust. If you find sawdust
like material there present, the bor
ers are there. The gum, either
clear or brown, may be present with
out borers. If the fine castings
mixed in tho gum show the presence
of borers, you should go after them
at once with a knife and wire, avoid
cutting across the trunks of the
trees any more than is absolutely
necessary, but cut up and down, or
1 lengthwise of the trunk, and get the
pests out. Loosening the ground as
you have done would tend to permit
the borers to go deeper, but after
they are once under the bark they
will work down during warm and dry
weather nnd for wintering, and will
work upward when It is wet.
"After you remove the borers from
your trees you can leave the roots
exposed in the fall or early spring
after tho adults have quit laying
their eggs, and before they com
mence again In June. In two or
threo weeks after tho first process
of removal, go over the trees again
and remove any borers that were
left after tho first operation. Then
mound the trees to a height of one
half foot each, and keep them
mounded.
"You can prevent the adults from
lnylng their eggs by spraying tho
base of tho trunk with lime-sulphur
solution, either home-boiled or com
mercial, made the samo ns you
would for San Jose scale. To be
effective the first coat should be ap
plied about tho middle of June, and
this should be repeated about the
first to tho middle of August. If
this is done each year, you will have
very llttlo loss from borers. Re
member It is only prventlvo, and will
not destroy them aftor they enter.
It Should be about the samo strength
as for San Joso scale when trees nre
dormant, although it Is used when
they aro in leaf, although not ap
plied to tho leaves. Some sediment
or some free powdered sulphur mixed
In tho solution will be effective in
helping to prevent them from laying
their eggs.
"Tho sun will not Injure tho trees
by removal of earth for searching
for borers. If you examine the
trees for these- pests again in tho
spring, It should be done as early
as possible, because tho Peach-treo
borers remain dormant during the
winter, and commence to feed again
in tho spring.
"A quart of wood ashes closo
around tho base of each tree will do
some good nnd will do no harm, yet
I prefer not to placo the strong wood
ashes directly over tho roots. I
should put somo earth on tho roots,
and start the mound, and then finish
tho mound with wood ashes, or else
level tho earth around the trunk,
nnd mako a mound of ashes or lime.
This will help greatly In preventing
tho borers. You will get better re-,
suits from your wood ashes If you I
will scatter them nround the tree'
Just a llttlo farther then tho
branches extend. In this caso they
will bo acting as a fertilizer, where
as In tho previous case they will act
chiefly as an Insect preventive."
