Remarkable Caret by Faith.
At the Christian nllinnce camp meet
ing nearly 200 persons personally testi
fied to having been cnrcl by fnith,
And twice as mnny more stood np
at the close of the meeting when their
leader, Dr. Simpson, asked nil in the
bndience who had Wn healed by divine
power to arise. Mrs. Welcome of Yar
mouth was one of those who claimed to
have been enred of lung disease without
the aid of a physicinn. Mrs. W. M.
Davis of Bonny Eagle had been relieved
of a spinal trouble of long standing; Mrs.
M. J. Ames of Portland neuralgia of the
heart and pleurisy i Miss J. O. Thomp
son of Portland has been cured of a
tumor, and Miss Jennie M. Benwick of
the same city had seven teeth extracted
without suffering any pain. Mrs. F. O.
Clark of Tyngsboro, Mass., who suffered
paralysis of the optic nerve, which nearly
robbed her of her eyesight, was led to
the camp ground, became anointed and
her sight was restored. Mrs. C. F. TJran
of Lowell, Mass., was cured of an Inter
nal cancer.
H. K. Smith of New Britain, Conn.,
said that he had been cured of a cancer
without the aid of a physician. Mrs. M.
J. Clark of New York gave testimony
that a few years ago she fell in a church
door and broke her wrist. Neither medi
cine nor bandage was applied, but the
Lord nnited the broken bones. Another
New York lady said sho was thrown
from a carringo not long ago, and her
right ankle was dislocated. The Lord
set the dislocated bone. The Rev. A. 8.
One of Haverhill, Mass., said that for
seven years he had employed no physi
cian in his family. In that time one
child had been cured of tho cronp and
another of pneumonia without the use of
medicine. An infant had died, but Mr.
Orne declared that its death was due to
a broken heart. Old Orchard Cor. New

Marrying In HurdTlmee.
Question Would The Bun ailvlM an engaged
couple to get married in theae hard times.
Answer If there be no other bar to
the marriage than the hardness of the
times, it ought not to be forbidden. Of
course the bachelor who desires to be
come a husband should be able to earn a
living or should otherwise have the
means of life, at his command, so that he
shall be able to provide for the woman
who is willing to become his wife, and
that thus the twain may enjoy wedded
bliss withont undue anxiety about the
morrow. We notice by the municipal
record of marringes that Just about as
many people get married here in hard
times as in better times; when work is
alack and money tight aa when both are
plentiful. We could not give advice in
an individnal case like that which is pre
sented to us, because we know nothing
about the parties, but we know that the
love which laughs at locksmiths can of
ten act very boldly withont ever having
cause to regret the action. We are not
prepared to say that tho engaged conplo
should shrink from a serious duty or
postpone the day of wedlock merely be
cause the times are not so good as they
have been or as they will be after awhile.

Did Mr. Kelly Do Bight
Did Mr. John Kelly do the right thing,
or did he do the wrong thing, yet the
only thing possible under the circum
stances? According to hia story he was
dining in a restaurant with a woman
when the latter complained of the too
manifest admiration of two eldorly men
who sat at table near. Kelly was
about to remonstrate when, so he says,
they got up and, on pretense of looking
at a picture which hung over the table,
one of them addressed a remark to his
companion. Mr. Kelly smote the in
truder between the eyes, breaking hia
glasses, and was arrested. It is a repeti
tion of Guy de Maupassant's story of
''The Coward" over again, except that
Mr. Kelly waa courageous. But what
was he to do? A cat may look at a king,
ays the proverb. Yet if the way of
looking was objectionable, what waa
Mr. Kelly to do? New York Evening

This Happened In Chicago.
A little Chicago 5-year-old (everything
happens in Chicago tliis summer) was,
according to a raconteur on a suburban
piazza last week, at one time bidden by
her mother to be very good on a certain
evening when the pastor and his wife
were to take tea with her parents.
You must not speak unless you are
spoken toj if you really want anything
you must ask for it very prettily and
properly," was the oft repeated injuno
tioa of the mother, and tha rhUA

Colonel Anchmnty's Training School,
If ever there was an American in spir
it and purpose, of that high type of pa
triotism of which the pride is not mere
ly in what the country is but in trying
to make it what it ought to be, it was
Colonel Richard T. Auchmuty, who
died at his home in Lenox on the 18th
of July. Beginning his service to his
country by four years in the army of the
Union, a gallant, faithful and intelligent
officer, he devoted many years of his
later life to the foundation and develop
ment of his now famous trade schools
in New York city. The original and
constant aim of these schools was to
give to young men of American birth
the chance to earn a living by an honest
trade.
In Colonel Auchmuty'a schools all the
building trades and tailoring as well are
taught, not for nothing, for they are not
a charity, bnt at moderate rates and in
a thorough scientific and practical man
ner. And the system is gradually ex
tending to other cities, enlisting the sup
port of intelligent employers and slowly
of the trades unions. To this work Colo
nel Auchmuty gave nearly all his time
and strength and large sums of money,
though he was not a man of great wealth.
Happily, by an endowment of fflOO.000
by Mr. Pierpont Morgan added to the
previous gifts of Colonel Auchmuty and
his wife, the schools are now permanent
ly established. It was a very noble
work, nobly and modestly done. Har

The Trouble Between Franco and Slam.
The trouble between France and Siara
had been brewing for months, and the
active hostilities date back to the early
part of the present year.
They grew ont of the disputes over the
bordor line between Siam and Anain,
over which latter country France has a
protectorate. At one of the border towns
in the spring a force of Anamites and
Frenchmen was attacked and routed by
Siamese troops. For this France de
manded reparation, as well as a settle
ment of the boundary difficulties, and
sent a gunboat to Bangkok.
The Siamese government immediately
began to act on the defensive and sunk
a number of scows on the Menam river
to prevent the near approach of French
vessels to Bangkok, the capital of Siam.
Siam has a population of about 7,000,
000, which in lower Siara is clustered
about the rivers and canals. The Por
tuguese were the first Europeans to es
tablish any intercourse with Siam. This
was in 1511. English traders were in
Siam early in the seventeenth century.
The treaty of 1856 with England prac
tically gave Europeans free admittance
to Siam, and the Engl inn, owing to the
nearness of their Indian dependencies,
have had a strong diplomatio influence
in the affairs of the country. So strong
has this been that many believe that a
war with France will ultimately result
in an English protectorate. Boston Ad
vertiser. Aa ArtUtle Romance.
Here is a romance. It is not so long
ago that we have forgotten when Den
nis Bunker, the young artist who had
just begun to taste the sweats of appre
ciation, married Miss Eleanor Hardy,
the daughter of Mr. Alpheus Hardy of
Boston. About the same time, Mr.
Charles Plutt, the etcher and painter,
and Mr. Bunker's chosen friend, mar
ried Mis Harper. Mr. Bunker's death
occurred cruelly sooa after his marriage.
Not long after Mrs. Piatt died. Thuir
mutual griefs drew Mr. Piatt and Mrs.
Bunker into sympathy. This lost no
force through lapse of time, and the
other day they were married. Mrs.
Piatt is a lovely woman of 84. Mr. Piatt
is the author and artist of the two num
bers "Old Italian Gordons" in the July
and August numbers of Harper's Maga
zine. The two have joined the artistie
colony in Vermont, where they will
spend their honeymoon. Boston Letter.
An Economical Woman.
An unmarried woman possessed of con
siderable wealth who died last week in a
town In Pennsylvania was buried in a
grave that was dug 10 years ago. Her
father waa buried in it originally, and
after two years hia body was exhumed
and placed in a vault It waa aprinciplo
of the family never to spend money use
lessly, and the daughter, realizing that
she herself would need a grave some
time, decided that filling up the grave
would be a waste of good money and
gave orders that it be kept open for her.
When rthe not too long delayed day
came (she was then 81 years of age), the
grave was found to be half a dozen inches
too short It waa lengthened, and the
interment was made. Exchange.
Whore tho Duke Showed Sanaa.
Complaint arises from certain quar
ters because the Dnka of Veragua sailed
away home without inditing an open let
ter of thanks to this country for its en
tertainment of him. We think that he
did the sensible thing. The infanta in
dited a letter of that kind, and it made
everybody laugh. We have a good deal
of respect even for a commonplace intel
lect that is just bright enough not to
make a public circus of its weaknesses.

Tried to Buy tho Car Horace.
It is sometimes not difficult to make a
street car driver mad. The most exas
perated one lately heard from operates
In Portland, Me. A countryman visited
the town the other day to buy a span of

The last place on earth from which
cne would expect to hear of railroit1
washouts, especially at this season of the
year, is Arizona. That region has a rep
utation for aridity that is nnequalcd on
the continent. It Is generally considered
A land of perpetual drought. It scarce
ly ever rains thero at nny season, and in
the summer time rain is regarded as
something unnatural.
But it has been raining like fury dur
ing the lost few days in Arizona. The
downpour has extended to New Mexico,
and there have even leen heavy showers
on the Mohave desert in California. In
Arizona the freshets have been so vio
lent that numerous washouts have oc
curred along the line of the Southern
Pacific. Between OUa Bend and Lords
burg, N. M., track, trestles, embank
ments and bridge approaches have been
carried away.
Three engines have been ditched and
temporarily disabled. In consequence of
these mishaps trains are delayed and
trafflo generally interrupted. Yesterday
General Superintendent Fillmore was
principally occupied In reading telegrams
informing hlra of fresh damages and
anathematizing Arizona for being such
an infernally contrary country.
As usnally happens in arid lands, the
recent rains in the desert region between
Yuma and Deming have partaken of the
nature of cloudbursts. The tempest
breaks with sudden fury, and the rain
falls in torrents, swelling every dry
ravine into tho proportions of rushing
streams. San Francisco Chronicle.
Getting Fun Ont of Polities.
The truth is, people must either fight
or laugh, and we prefer to laugh. Once
in awhile partisans get into a hot de
bate and break the furniture, but aa a
general thing we take matters good
humoredly, and if a reporter is really
witty we smile as broadly as circum
stances permit. It is very interesting,
therefore, to read the comments of our
contemporaries. Here is The Tribune,
for instance, with a choice variety of
four line squibs every morning full of
ridicule of the other fellow. It has a
specialist who extracts all the wasp
stings that can be found and furnishes a
dally dish drowned in pepper sauce.
Some of them make delicious reading,
not because they are true, but because
they are bright.
Then comes The Sun, sly old orb, with
a wink in its left eye and a simulated
expression of unappeasable indignation,
and pokes the enemy under the fifth rib
in such a way that the rib is of no, fur
ther use. The Evening Post is always
on horseback, and seldom a day passes
that it doesn't plant its iron hoof on
some one, and The Commercial Adver
tiser thinks that day lost "whose low de
scending sun" does not look back on
some Democrat whom it has jabbed.
All thiB is agreeable, instructive and
interesting to everybody, except the po
litical victims. The people road and

Bis Carriage Driven by Naphtha.
C L. Simonds of Lynn has made a
steam carriage for his own use, that will
make 10 miles an hour. The carriage
weighs only 400 pounds nnd can carry
two persons at a time. It Das tho ap
pearance of an ordinary carriage in
front, except there are no provisions
mado for a horse. The wheels are of cy
cle make and are four in number. The
bind wheels are 48 inches, and the front
wheels ore 8 inches, with rubber tires.
The boiler and engine are just in the
rear of the seat and give the carriage the
appearance of a fire engine. The steam
generates in-what is called a porcupine
boiler, which weighs 100 pounds. The
steam is made by naphtha flames from
three jets. The naphtha is kept in a cyl
inder, enough to last for seven hours,
and there is a water tank that will hold
10 gallons. The steering' part consists
of a crank wheel on the footboard, so
that the engineer can steer and attend to
the engine at the same time. Boston

Eacaped Uou Caught by an Elephant.
An exoiting and remarkable scene oc
curred yesterday at Barnsley, where
Day's menagerie is being exhibited.
The manager states that about 4 o'clock
Bartlett, the keeper, accidentally left the
door of a cage containing young lions un
fastened. Bartlett was afterward sur
prised to see one of the lions loose. Hap
pily no spectators were in the show at
the time. The keeper immediately armed
himself and sent for aid. Blank car
tridges were fired to keep the lion at bay.
Lnckily.it came within reach of a power
ful elephant named Jumbo H, who was
fenced off by means of ropes and stakes
in one corner of the show. The elephant
seized the lion with his trunk ronnd the
body, an I placing his foot upon him
held him down. The keepers, who had
secured ropes, noosed them, and putting
them on the lion's legs secured and
dragged him into the cage. Westmin

A Singular State of AITalr.
Doubtless It is in the interest of the
Welfare of all our peoplo that banks, the
doors of which are open for business and
which are ready to receive deposits,
have flatly refused to honor the checks
of their depositors notwithstanding they
have the money with which to pay them,
but it is a most singular sliito of affair.
and the docility with which the depos
itors have accepted the situation Is sur
prising. The contract between the bank and
tho depositor provides that the bank will
take charge of the depositor s funds and
pay them out on the debitor's check.
The assumption that the bank mny at
any time, in the exercise of its own dis
cretion, forcibly withhold the deposit
or's property from him is not contem
plated by the terms of the contract usu
ally made between the parties. The de
positor has not authorized the bank to
do more or anything else than care for
his money and pay it out on his check.
Under ordinary circumstances the re
fusal of a bank to honor the check of its
depositor when It admits that the money
is in Its possession and belongs to the de
positor, would be accepted as an evi
dence that the bank is itself bankrupt
This method of preventing a run on the
bank is certainly quite effective.
The good spirit In which the depositor
accepts the inconvenience to which he is
thus subjected is a strong evidence of
that pnbllo spirit which moy save the
community from irreparable disaster.
At the same time it is worthy of remark
that no pugnacious crank has as yet
asked the intervention of the courts to
compel the bank to give him his money.

The Horn Fly.
Kansas farmers are complaining of a
new pest known as the horn fly so
called from its habit of resting on the
horns of cattle from whence it moves
to various parts of the body, piercing the
skin with its serrato proboscis and snck
Ing the animal's blood. Its habits are
not only annoying, bnt exceedingly harm
ful. Hie pest was unknown here a year
ago, but is now one of the most abun
dant and hurtful of the fly species. Pro
fessor Kellogg of the state university
says it is a native of Europe, nud was
probably introduced into America with
a shipment of cattle from France. It
was first observed in Now Jersey in Sep
tember, 1887. In October, 1888, it waa
in Maryland. In 1880 it had traveled
south and west over Delaware, Mary
land and Virginia, and in 1800 it was
wonderfully active, appearing in Ken
tucky. By the end of 1801 it got as far
as New York and west to Ohio, south to
Florida nnd Mississippi. In 1893 it was
noticed in Illinois and is now found in
Kansas and other western states. An
effort will bo made to prevent a farther
spread of the pest by the same process
now used in exterminating chinch bugs.

Poor People's Oardeni.
Until ho saw it with his own eyes, tho
east end of London was, to M. Fran
cisque Sarcey, the region of Jack the
Ripper. He had been led to expect in it
a hideous blot on creation and a place
whioh it would be unsafe for him to ex
plore except under police protection. He
came away from it agreeably disillu
sioned. Had he remained long enough
in London to see tho window gardening
exhibition, opened at St. George's parish
church yesterday, he would have said
that the east endors were people of taste
as well as of comparative comfort and
of respect for law and order. Window
gardening in eastern London has
reached tho dignity of a fine art. It is
making a great and steady progress, and
this year's exhibition is pronounced to
be superior to the five that have preced
ed it. Most of the 800 plants exhibited
have been cultivated by young people
living in Shadwell and its neighboring .
districts. London News.
Bending the Knee to Foreigner.
A clever New York woman of assured .
social position frankly admitted to a.
horrified Frenchman of rank that noth
ing of a lower grade than the imperial,
or republican head of a great nation, in.
hia representative capacity, conM Vltl'
from her a bend of the knee. The
princelcts, male and female, were but
everyday folk in her eyes, quite without
social "divinity," and to them she re
fused to make obeisance. The lady's
distinction is self respecting and truly
American, and as a rule of conduct it
is commended as an antidote for the in
discriminate courtesy craze. Vogue.
Oyster Beginning to Bod.
Some oyster sheila have been dredged

no apparent reason why this should not
be a good year for the oystermen. New
