Traverse Citv. Petoskey and tackinac Are the three principal objective points of the summer travel to Michigan, and in a certain sense their names signify the divisions into which Michigan resorts are naturally divided. The Grand Traverse Bay resorts, Omena, Neahtawanta. Traverse Beach. Edgewood, etc., are all reached by boat or drive from Traverse City. Bay View, Harbor Point, Harbor Springs. Wequetonsing and Roaring Brook are the handsome resorts of Little Traverse Bay, which are connected with Petoskey by suburban train service, while Mackinac Island is a summer principality of itself. The Grand Rapids <& Indiana Railway takes you to these points on their direct line, with fast vestibuled trains carrving through sleeping cars from St. Louis, Chicago.

PULPIT AND PEW. Relations of the Minister and Congregation to One Another. Between a minister and his congretion there are an action and a reaction, so that the minister makes the congregation, and the congregation makes the minister. When one speaks of a minister’s service to his people, one is not thinking oi pew rents, and offertories, and statistics, and crowds, nor of schools, and guilds, and classes, and lectures. The master achievement of the minister is to form character and to make men. The chief question, therefore, to consider about a minister’s work is, What kind of men has he made?

And one at least of the most decisive questions by which the members of a congregation can be judged is, What have they made of their minister? By that one does not mean what salary they may give him. nor how agreeable they may be to him. but how far he basbecoiueaman and risen to his height in the atmosphere of his congregation. Some congregations have ruined ministers by harassing them till they lost heart and self control and became peevish and ill tempered. Some congregations. again, have ruined ministers by so humoring and petting them that they could endure no contradiction and became childish. That congregation lias done its duty most effectively which has created an atmosphere so genial and yet so bracing that every good in Its minister has been fostered ami everything petty killed.—lan Maclaren in Ladies' Home Journal. Choosing a Bishop by Chance. A simple but novel ceremony occurred at Millersville. Pa., recently. A great multitude of people assembled nt the old Mennonite meeting house to witness the choice of a bishop by lot. There was a large number of Mennonite preachers present, and four of their number were candidates for the exalted office. The method of choice was unique, although it is in common use among the Mennonites. After a season of fervent prayer for divine direction the four candidates were called forward, and four Bibles exactly similar in size and binding were placed before them. Under the fly leaf of one of these Bibles a piece of blank paper had been placed. The Bibles had been thoroughly mixed up. and the candidates were then invited to make their selection. The successful candidate was Rev. Abram Herr, who was thereupon de- I dared to be bishop and was immedi- | ately ordained. The new bishop is a descendant of Hans Herr, the leader of one of the first parties of pioneer Men- i nonites who settled in eastern Pennsyl- I vania nearly 200 years ago.—Christian The South Pole Search. It is said that Dr. Nansen has resolved to enter the lists as an antarctic explorer. Letters received in London from him state that he hopes to have an expedition organized and ready to start in 1902. He is at present engaged ; in preparing his plans and will en- ; deavor to shape them so that he may supplement the work which the British and German expeditions propose to accomplish. Dr. Nansen intends to go to Berlin for the international congress of geographers, and as Sir Clements Markham and Sir John Murray will also be there to meet Professor von I Drygalski. the leader of the German expedition, an antarctic conference will I be held, at which a general plan of ac- ■ tian can be decided upon.

UGLY FIGHT Seventy Americana Attacked by Over Four Hundred of the Enemy. Manila, July 22 — News was received here yesterday from General Smith at Iloilo, Island of Panay, of a sesevere fight at Boboug, between Captain Byrne of the Sixteenth infantry, with 70 men, and a force of 450 Babaylones, who surprised the American troops. One hundred and fifteen of the enemy were killed, as is shown by actual count, many were wounded and one was taken prisoner. The American loss was one man killed and one wounded. DISPATCH FROM OTIS Captain Byrne’s Victory Much Greater Than First Reported. ■Washington, July 24 —The war department has received from General Otis another dispatch giving additional particulars of the fight between Captain B. A. Byrne with 70 men of the Sixth infantry and robber bands in the Island of Negros. It shows that the victory of the soldiers was greater than that reported in General Otis’ dispatch of Jnly 81, and that the loss suffered by the robbers was considerably larger than before stated. Much satisfaction is felt by General Otis over the results of this preliminary effort in dealing with this disturbing element in the island and he reports it already as having a salutary effect on other bauds infesting the locality. BANQUETTED Admiral Dewey’s Speech at Minister Harris' Dinner. Trieste, July 22.—Minister Addison C. Harris gave a dinner last evening to Admiral Dewey. Mr. Harris proposed the health of Admiral Dewey, who, in reply, said: "I thank you sincerely, i and drink to your good health.” Mr. Harris then proposed ‘‘The caprain and crew of the Olympia,” and requested Admiral Dewey to relate something of the battle of Manila, The admiral replied: “I only know that having asked the steward for something to drink, he gave me lukewarm, weak coffee, which made me feel quite sick, but my flag lieutenant kept the record and I invite him to speak.” Flag Lieutenant Brumby said: “I was a midshipman under Admiral Dewey and he taught me not to talk, so I will only say Dewey did it.” FOUR YOUNG LADIES Drowned at a Bathing Resort While Taking a Swim. Wellington, Kan., July 25. —Edna Curtis, Millie Detrick, Inez and Mabel Neal, daughters of prominent Caldwell citizens, were drowned at Drury, a fishing and bathing resort, six miles east of that place, yesterday afternoon. The girls, in company with a number of other girls, were bathing in the river. One of them went in beyond her depth and, being unable to swim, cried for help. In the excitement three others went in beyond their depth and all four were drowned. Miss Edith Batlin was almost drowned, but her life was saved after much hard work. The girls’ ages range from 16 to 19 years. Timothy Hogan Returned to the Columbus (O.) Penitentiary.

Columbus, 0., July 24.—Timothy Hogan, the noted mailbox robber, who escaped from the penitentiary May 8 last, was returned to the prison Saturday. He stated that inside of 24 hours from the time of his capture he would have been enlisted in the regular army. He was returned dressed in the uniform of a soldier and a light hat. He undoubtedly intended to leave for one of the newly acquired islands and there remain as a soldier. LYNCHING OFJTALIANS Home Paper Says the United States Will Prosecute the Perpetrators. Rome, July 24.—The Popolo Romano, referring to the recent lynchings of Italians at Tallulah, La., says the United States has given assurances that it will prosecute rigorously all who were concerned in the commission of the crime. Acquitted the Second Time. New Y'ork, July 24.—A dispatch to The Herald from Monte Video says: A jury has for the second time acquitted i Avolino Aredondo, the murderer of President Bordea. Among the arguments brought forward in the prisoner’s behalf was one that it was not proved that the president’s death was caused directly by the shot as no autopsy had been held on the body. Five Sicilians Hanged. New Orleans, July 22.—Five Sicilians were hanged yesterday by a mob at Tallulah, a town of 700 inhabitants in Madison parish, 17 miles from the river.
