FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1901.

FIGURES show that two million acres are every year planted in tobacco, producing eight hundred thousand tons. And most of it goes up in smoke after all.

MR. BKYAN could

see

nothing of im

portance connected with the Democratic convention in Columbus last week. Will he say the same of the convention which assembles there on July 31 to do honor to his name?

GENERAL, GOMEZ has returned to Havana and states that he will soon issue a manifesto declaring for ultimate annexation to the United States. All the representatives of Cuba who visit this country go home feeling mighty good.

THE Ohio Bryanites refuse to abide by the Columbus convention and will meet in that city on July 31 to name a ticket and adopt a platform of their own. The Republicans naturally view this dissension among the Democrats with sorrow and regret.

MR. BRYAN does not mince words in denouncing the action of the Democratic convention at Columbus, and insinuates that the Democrats now in the saddle in Ohio are in the pay of the Republicans. This grotesque absurdity is only equalled by another statement in his paper to the effect that the cause of free silver is not dead and will be fought out in the years to come.

THE appointment of Mr. A. B. Kittredge by the governor of South Dakota to fill the vacancy made by the ddath of Senator Kyle, has been well received in Washington. Although Mr. Kittredge is only forty years old, he has been regarded for some years as the leader of the Republican party in South Dakota, and is known to have been largely instrumental in restoring his state to the Republican column.

SECRETARY GAGE and other treasury officials have been surprised by the receipt from internal revenue for the first half of this month. It was naturally expected that the reductions which went into effect the first of the month would make the receipts considerably smaller than for the corresponding period last year, but instead of that, they have been a little larger every day and for the half month in round figures, $1,000,000 greater than for the first half of July last year. Some think that this may be accounted for by the fact that changes were made in a number of classes of revenue stamps, and that large users allowed their supply to entirely run out by the first of the month, and have, consequently, purchased large quantities since then. Whatever the cause, the receipts have been larger when they were expected to be smaller.

NOBLESVILLE Ledger: The presence in our city of the secretary of Wabash college hunting up students for that institution, shows in what a peculiar condition are our higher educational affairs in Indiana. Not only Wabash, but Earlham, Butler, DePauw and other non-state colleges are sending out agents after students. They are going so far as to offer inducements to poor boys to enable them with a very little money to go through college. These non-state schools have room and provision for two to four times the number of students they now enroll, They are endowed and supported thiough private beneficence and are not asking a dollar of taxation for their support. They are willing, anx ious and fully prepared to do all the work of higher education in the state.

In the face of this, the state of Indiana has set up competing institutions and, for work that can and would gladly be done "without money and without price," is drawing from the taxpayers nearly a half million dollars annually. Could or would such conditions exist in any other business? Would a farmer build two barns and hire two sets of hands

wheD

one barn would house all

his stock and grain and one set of hands do all the work? Would a merchant double his capacity if his present room and force were sufficient for his trade? Would any sensible business

man

tax himBelf for a certain kind of work that private persons and corpora' tions -were offering to do for nothing? And yet that is just what the state of Indiana is now doing.

THE greatest healer of modern times is Banner Salve for cuts, wounds, sores, piles ind all skin diseases. It is guaranteed. Use no substitute.

The Two Dromtos.

The famous "Hall twins" of Wabash college are shining brightly In northern Michigan. The Holland, Michigan Sentinel says: "Miss Villa Seery entertained a number of young people at her home last evening. They were all from hotel Macatawa and incidentally there was some amusement afforded that was not on the programme. The party was composed of the Misses Florence Barden, Retah Babcock, Edith and Bertha McCarty and Villa Seery and Messrs. Ernest Cox, Robert Peterson, James Pettijohn, Edward Tabor and Otis and Oakle Hall. The two Hall brothers were responsible for the amusement, though they were Innocent enough. They are college men and very popular at Macatawa, but they look so like one another, and they carry out the resemblance so thoroughly in their dress and actions that people call them the "Siamese Twins." In the crowd that was waiting for the car the two young ladies who were with Otis and Oakle got mixed and they were in' a great agony all the way to Holland, lest unwittingly each might have the wrong Hall. But they dared not speak their fears and the twins kept their silence for they saw they were furnishing amusement to the rest of the party. The two puzzled young ladies are still wondering, and the confusion they got into last night bids fair to last the season with them as well as with others."

Labor Day Preparations.

The Labor Day committee held a public meeting in the mayor's office Tuesday night. Reports from all sources show a strong feeling for a Labor Day celebration Monday, Sept. 2. It was decided to celebrate and excell In crowd and amusement that of any previous occasion. All churches of the city will be asked to unite and hold a union service in the fair ground Sunday afternoon, Sept. 1, for the wage earning classes. The amusement for Monday will be a drawing card superior to any yet seen on our streets. A. F. Ramsey will look after excursion trains from the out towns. A collection of money will immediately commence. W. P. Daggett, president, John H. Mount, secretary, and Charley Crider, treasurer, each have given bond to the amount of six hundred dollars with A. F. Ramsey for the faithful handling and distribution of the money.

In Memory of Willie Qulnn. (By K. C.)

A precious soul has flown away Into vast realm of eternal love, And there to join In gorgeous array,

The heavenly band who dwell with God above.

'Tis sud to think thut one so young must die, But time is short and life is but a day All men must die, this messuge from on high,

Comes down to man and bids him ever pray.

And while upon thy ice cold brow we gaze, Sweet memories float around our minds of tbee For thou was true and faithful in thy days,

Full of bright hope and sweet humility.

THE

COMMITTEE.

A Paralytic Stroke.

Mrs. Mary Wolfe suffered a paralytic stroke Tuesday afternoon, her entire left side being affected. She Is thought to be slightly better but her condition is still serious as there may be another attack at any time. Mrs. Wolfe went in the afternoon to the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. F. Hulet, to bid her farewell, it having been the intention of Mr. and Mrs. Hulet to go to Petoskey, Wednesday. While there she complained of a tingling sensation in her face and started home against the advice of Mrs. Hulet. She had barely reached there when the stroke came.

Death of James Harris.

James Harris, aged 55 years, died Tuesday night at his home, 710 south Walnut street. He had been a sufferer from cancer for two years. The funeral will occur at the residence this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment it the Masonic cemetery. Mr. Harris was a soldier in the civil war, serviug in the 10th Indiana volunteers, and later in the regular army. He leaves a wife, but no children.

A loving son and brother, worthy of the name, True to thy mother, brothers, and sister all, Why wonder then that hearts are filled with pain

Since death, His angel, sent thy soul to God's call.

No more on oarth thy happy face we'll see, For the grave refuses to give back its own How sweet to think the soul from Him is free,

And lives forever in God's happy home.

And now in tears we lay thee down to sleep In death's dark chamber, until thou shalt rise On that great day, when God his word will keep.

And call his children to the distant skies.

Then dearest Willie, with friends thou'll be invited, .•ruin that bright world with God above There where no pure heart by death Is blighted.

There shall they live in true and peaceful love.

LESSON III, THIRD QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, JULY 21.

Tost of (he licuson, Gen. vlil, 1-22. Memory Verne#, 20-112—Golden Text, Gen. vi, S—Commentary Prepared by the lie v. D. 91. Stearns,

Noah all the creatures He intended to save alive and shut him iu, and after seven days the storm began. 1-1). This brings us to the beginning of the chapter assigned for our lesson, and in the fourth verse we read that the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat just five mouths after the flood began. After this the waters decreased continually until on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen, and 40 days later, which would be the tenth day of the eleventh month, Noah sent forth a raven and afterward a dove. The raven, being an unclean bird (Lev. xi, 13-15), could rest on any floating dead carcass, and therefore returned not to the ark the dove, a clean bird, finding no resting place, returned to the ark and makes us think of the Holy Spirit as a dove, finding His first perfect resting place on Christ at His baptism. Have you the spirit of the raven or the dove? 10-12. Seven days later he sent forth the dove again, and in the evening she returned with an olive leaf in her mouth so Noah knew that the waters were abated. That would he on the seventeenth day of the eleventh mouth, or just nine months after the waters began to come upon the earth. lie waited yet other seven days and sent forth the dove for the third time, and she returned no more. 13, 14. One month and more did Noah still wait before the surface of the earth was dry and nearly two months longer before the earth was dry enough to have him leave the ark. On the twenty-sev-enth day of the secoud month of the six hundred and first year of No.ih's life was the earth dried, so that, counting the seven days that Noah was in the ark before the rain began (chapter vii, 10), he was in the ark altogether one year and 17 days, or seven months after the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat.

What faith and patience ho had opportunity to display! What quiet waiting with God! The Lord had said, "Come thou into the ark" (vii, 1) so the Lord was the first to enter the ark, and He was with Noah in the ark. Happy are those who find their joy in God and in Iiis presence and are glad to abide with Him anywhere and as long as He pleases! What matters it whether we are going or staying, shut up in the ark or roaming the earth, if only we are where He wills? 15-37. At the command of God Noah builded the ark, at the command of God he entered the ark and not until God commanded did he leave the ark. He and all the living creatures with him are brought forth upon the new earth that they might be fruitful and multiply. It is it new beginning, for in II Pet. iii, 0, we read, "The world that then was being overflowed with water perished." The people had perished, but Noah came orth upon the same earth, perhaps Changed as to its configuration. 18-20. "And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord." His first act was one of worship in God's appointed way—by sacrifice not the way of Cain, but of Abel. God had commanded him to take into the ark two o-t every kind of living creature to keep them alive upon the earth (vi, 19, 20), but Jehovah (God in relation to man as his Saviour and righteousness) had said that he should by sevens take of all clean beasts and birds (vii, 13), and thus he had abundance for sacrifice. The thought of sacrifice takes us back for a moment to chapter vi, 14, where we read that the ark which preserved Noah and all creatures was covered within and without with pitch, this, of course, to make it to float safely and preserve all in it. But the word translated "pitch" and only here so translated is the very word elsewhere translated "atonement" or "reconciliation" and is surely suggestive of the great truth that there is no safety from coming judgment but by the great sacrifice of Christ. 21, 22. "And the Lord smelled a sweet savour" (margin, "a savour of rest"). In the next chapter we have a full statement of the everlasting covenant with

Noah and his seed and all creatures, of •which brief mention is made In these two verses, and also of the token of the covenant, the bow in the cloud. When we Isee the bow, we should remember that God looks upon it, too (ix, 16), and will never again bring a flood upon the earth. But see II Pet. iii, 7-13, aad say if you believe these things or are you, like the people of Noah's time, among the scoffers? The many who helped Noah to build the ark and could have told all about it perished because they were not fn It. You may understand fully God's plan of redemption and be able to tell it and teach it and perhaps be active In tome kind of so called church work, but if you arc not in Christ l:~ His blood you are lost

CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

[Copyright, 1901, by American Press Association.] As next week's lesson will take UB to Abiain, we may be said to have but one lesson on the lirst 2,000 years of the world's history, for the previous two lessons kept lis at the beginning of the story. Cain and Abel represent the two great lines leading oil to antichrist anil to Christ, Cain being of the devil and Abet of God (1 John iii, 12). The Bible does not give us any record of Adam's numerous pxistenty, but just the two lines of the riglrteous and the unrighteous, mentioning some prominent men in each, Abel, Seth, Enoch and Noall being among the righteous of these first 2,000 years. The tendency in all ages since sin entered is away from God, not toward God, and alter the lirst 10 centuries the testimony of God was that all ttesli had corrupted his way on earth and that the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of man was only evil continually (chapter vi, 5-12). lie instructed Noah to build an ark for the preservation of hl:v»self and his family and some of all living creatures from the impending judgment, revealing to Noah His determination to destroy all others, both man and beast, from off the face of the earth. Noah did just as he was told, and probably during the space of 120 years (vi, 2), with no signs of a coming storm, continued to build his vessel far from any sea and doubtless amid the scoffs and jeers of an ungodly world. We have the manner of their speech recorded in Job sxii, 15-17 Jude, 14-16. In due time the ark was finished just as God had commanded and therefore perfectly fitted for that which God intended. The limit of His mercy was reached, the time of judgment come, lie called Noah and his family unto Him into the ark and then brought in unto
