The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus.

During the terrible persecutions of Christians by Decius, the Roman Emperor, 250 A. D.. when all professing the faith were to renounce it before a certain day under penalty of torture and death, seven men, so the legend goes, escaped from Ephesus—Maximlan, Malchus, Denis, Martinian, John, Serapion, Constantine. They betook themselves, after much exertion, to a cave outside the city and from fatigue fell into a deep slumber. Discovered by the soldiery, according to tradition, they were blockaded in the cave to starve to death. Their sleep lasted miraculously, from, 251 to 447, until the reign of the Emperor Theodosius; but to the sleepers it ,was as but one night. On awakening their hunger prompted them to send one of their, number to the city to procure food, and this he endeavored to do unperceived. The city had not altered much externally, and at the distance, appeared to be the same as the emissary, 'Maximlan, had left it the night before. Not so he, and he could not help noticing how much he was gazed upon and how curiously by the people. In the city, too, the cross—the object of contumely a few hours before—was everywhere venerated most abjectly, with no persecuting hand to profane and none to Snolest the worshiper. Explanations followed mutual Inquiry and soon the (Other six sleepers were set upon by an eager crowd come to do them honor, but according to the sleepers’ belief, they were soldiers about to destroy them for their Christian beliefs. In jEphesus they had a triumph. The legend makes them all die at the same .Instant, as if by a supernatural power, [which had preserved their lives so miraculously. June 27 was set apart as jßacred to their memory.—Baltimore American.

END OF THE SESSION.

OMAHA METHODISTS HAVE • . ADJOURNED. The Conference Considers the Woman Question—To Bo Settled Eight Tears Hence—Polygamy Condemned—Attitude of the Church on Temperance. Have Finished Their Work. The overshadowing fight of the last day of the Omaha conference was the woman question. Rev. Dr. Buckley’s speech was unique. He crowded into five minutes more than another man could Into fifteen minutes. When he finished he was roundly applauded by all. John Field, of Philadelphia, made a telling speech. He said that if the women came into the conference and thereby crowded out the men, to them would be due the results. Men did not, as a rule, care to meddle in the church business, and the best thing to force them out was for the women to take hold of the government. This would leave nothing for the men to do, and the women attd preachers could ruu the church to suit themselves. The other acts of note during the day were .as follows: The conference adopted a report condemning polygamy in any nation, and demanding that no one, be he in India, China or Africa, who practices polygamy be allowed to partake of communion. Endowment to colleges of postgraduate work was asked by the educational committee, and the conference joined in It by adopting the report. It was decided to appoint a committee to organize an insurance company, somewhat on the plan of the British Wesleyan, «,nd report to the next general conference. A resolution was heartily adopted congratulating the House of Representatives on its recommendation to aid the World’s Fair on condition of excluding intoxicating liquors. At 2:20 in the afternoon the conference adjourned sine die. Work of th© Conference. The work of the conference has been productive of much good, says an Omaha dispatch. The most important questions considered during this session were the report of the Constitutional Committee on the revision pf the constitution and discipline. After four days this Important matter was indefinitely postponed, and as no commission or committee was appointed before adjournment, nothing will be done toward revising the laws of the chupch before the next general conference in 1896. The next important question, which, by the way was settled, as far as the general conference is concerned, was equal representation of lay and ministerial delegates. It now requires a two-thirds vote of the annual conferences to carry Into effect the action of this body. While the final action is far off many warm friends of the laymen predict that two-thirds of the annual conferences will not indorse the plan. It is said that the German and African conferences will be against it, together with the weaker conferences, which, being now equally represented, would not be benefited by it. Victory for the Women. The next important step was the woman question, which, after a hard fight, resulted in a slight victory for the ladies. Dr. Hamilton is the Moses who led the women out of the wilderness of obscurity. His resolution requires that in order to constitutionally settle the matter a proposition be referred to the annual conferences whereby the words “who shall be men only” shall follow the words “lay delegates.” In order to Interpret the words In that manner threefourths of the annual conferences must so vote, then tyo-thirds of the next general conference must concur In that interpretation. It will thus be seen that the Women, who control a majority of the conferences, will win the day in the next general conference, although they will not be able to be seated until eight years hence. Another important piece of legislation was the refusal to remove the time limit on the location of preachers, The provisions remain as they were enacted at the last general conference, five

years the maximum location. The refusal to increase the number of bishops or to locate a residence in Europe and Japan were other, features of importance. The powers of the bishops were curtailed in two instances. The conference is given the power of rejecting the appointment of a judiciary committee which passes on appeals, and the bishops were denied the right to appear before the book committee to argue in favor or against an appointment to fill a vacancy. The proposed change in the discipline relating to amusements died, failing to be brought before the conference, as also did the resolution of Dr. Hanlon asking the church to put itself on record In reference to its position on the controversy between capital and labor. Despite the assertion of the bishops that the church has no place in politics the conference adopted the report of the Committee on Intemperance, which pledged support to all organizations banded together to suppress the liquor traffic. Later on a resolution deolaring that the conference did not construe its adoption of the report to bind it to auy political party passed without dissent. The practice of polygamy was denounced in unmistable language, and the Federal Government asked to increase the duty on opium to such an extent as to prohibit traffic in it. The church put itself on record as favoring the World’s Fair and favoring appropriations only on condition that the gates should be closed on Sunday and that no Intoxicating liquors should be sold on the grounds. It further appointed a commission to determine the advisability of participating in a general religious exhibit and to engage in one if found practicable. Union of Methodlsto North and South. A commission to meet the Methodist Episcopal Church South to negotiate an organic union of the two was appointed. The bishops were given authority to appoint ministers to the pulpits of churehcs, whose doctrines and laws are the same as the Methodist Episcopal Church. Two Secretaries instead of one of the Church Extension Society and Freedmen’s Aid and Educational Society were elected. The Epworth League was made a constitutional part of the ehureh, and is now the only recognized society of young people in the church. Its headquarters will be in Chicago, where the official organ, the Epworth Herald, will be published. The Bocky Mountain and Nebraska Advocates were authorized to become official papers of their patronizing conferences. A message was sent to the President demanding that he refuse to Bigg the Chinese exclusion act. The message was too late, so the conference passed a series of resolutions denouncing the law and calling upon Congress to amend it bv striking out the addition to the laws of 1882.

FREE SILVER MEN IN SESSION.

Organization Effected at Washington Senator Stewart Makes an Address. In response to a call issued April 23, 1822, by the National Silver Committee for a national convention “of all who earnestly favor the immediate restoration of free bimetallic coinage in the United States," about 200 delegates assembled in Concordia Hall, Washington, D. C.. and were called to order br

Gen. A. J. 'Warner, Chairman of National Committee. M. M. Parker, President of the Washington Board oi Trade, delivered an address of welcome. Judge Isaac B. Morris of Indiana was elected temporary chairman of the convention; Lee Crandall of Washington, Henry Jones of Georgia, and E. P. Stark of Ohio were elected Secretaries. Judge Morris spoke at some length upon the general subject of silver. The only proper question for the United States to agree to consider in an international monetary conference, the speaker thought, was the question of a world’s legal ratio. Addresses were made by ex-Repre-sentative Maglnnlss of Montana, Representatives Bryan of Nebraska and Bartine of Nevada, and Senator Stewart. The latter began by saying that about two hours before the Senate by a majority of eight had agreed to take up and discuss a plain, simple bill, providing for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. He was cheered, and continued: ' And we will press it to a vote. In the fight to-day we lost some of our soldiers, some of them deserted, but we will see who are our friends and who are our enemies, and if we can we will send it to the President. and will compel him to signify to the people of this country whether he is in sympathy with the gold trust or whether he is willing to sign a' bill for the emancipation of the whole American people. The Senator opposed the proposed international monetary conference. Among those present at the evening session were Senator Colquitt and Representatives Bartine, Pierce, Livingstone, and Simpson. Edward S. Brown of Colorado said that the antagonism of the administration to silver had brought on a crisis in the affairs of Colorado. Senator Colquitt was in hearty aocord with every effort for the remonetization of silver. He thought there was a ray of hope In the action of the Senate in taking up the free-coinage bill. Representative Pierce thought the free-ooin-age bill would pass the Senate. If it tame to the House from the Senate, and the former body refused to pass it, there would be administered to the members in November a severe rebuke. Among the members of the Committee on Organization of a Bimetallio League are Senator Sanders, Montana; Representative Sweet, Idaho; Representative Tillman, South Carolina; and F. G. Newlands, Nevada.

BLAINE NOT IN IT.

This Is the Opinion of the Secretary's Nearest Friends. Washington telegram; There are three viewi of the attitude taken by Mr. Blaine with regard to the use of his name as a .candidate against President Harrison. One view is that the present agitation is entirely without the approval of the Secretary of Stata, and that he will oause this to be understood in a way which cannot be mistaken before the convention shall assemble. The second opinion is that Mr. Blaine does not expect to be nominated, and Is not willing to accept the nomination, but that he is anxious to prevent the renomination of the President, and for that reason permit his name to be used, in the hope that the result will be the disorganization of the Harrison forces, as a consequence of which It will be easier for the opponents of the President to unite upon a third man. The third view is that Mr. Blaine is willing to beeping, a candidate, to accept the nomination, and to make the canvass. Each of these Views has its believers. In the absence at some definite statement from Mr. Blaine the public will be compelled to select for itself which one of these views it will accept. There are circumstances which tend to give color to each one of these theories. The fact that the nearest friends of the Secretary of State Insist that he stands by his letter of February Is a matter of importance in the opinion of those who insist that Mr. Blaine is not a party to the present agitation and that it does not have his sanction, although he does not consider It . necessary now to state that he was telling the truth in his letter of February. It has not been the habit of Mr. Blaine, his friends say, to come to the rescuej of his own veracity. The chief frietidb of the Secretary of State, among w¥om are Senator Hale and Representative Dingley of his own State, declare that the reports that Mr. Blaine consents to the use of his name are without foundation. Mr. Blaine’s associates in the Cabinet declare also that he is not a candidate.

OPPOSE SUNDAY OPENING.

United Presbyterians Want the Fair Closed the First Oay of the Week. The first regular, business session of the United Presbyterian General Assembly was ealled to order in the Second United Presbyterian Church, Alleghney, Pa., by Professor W. White, of Xenia, Ohio, Theological Seminary. Nominations for moderator were called for. The names of Dr. David McDiil, of Xenia, Ohio; Dr. J. T. McClure, of Wheeling, W. Va.; and Dr. Robert Stewart, a missionary, were placed in nomination. One hundred and twenty-six ballots were>cast. A second vote was necessary for a choice, resulting in the election of Rev. Dr. David McDiil. After a brief address the moderator announced that the assembly was ready for business. Dr. W. T. Meloy, of Chicago, first secured the floor and offered the following; lo William A Stone, Washington, D. C.: The general assembly o( the United Presbyterian Church of North America, now In session at Allegheny, have heard with pleasure the noble position taken by many of our representatives In the National Congress in opposition to the opening of the gates of the Columbian Exposition on the Lord’s day and also in o. position to the sale of Intoxicating liquors on the grounds. We express the hope that no appropriation be made for the Fair except on condition that the gates be kept closed on the Sabbath and the sale of intoxicating liquors be prohibited. The resolution was adopted, and it was decided to send the resolution by telegraph to Colonel Stone, The clerk then gave the general statistics of the church as follows: There are 10 synods and 80 presbyteries, a total of 799 ministers, 920 congregations, and 109 mission stations. Twenty churches were erected during the year at a cost of $105,300. In membership there were 10,297 removals (1,618 by death), for various causes. The total membership is 107,018. The contributions for the year for general purposes were $1,286,288, an average of 13.38 per member. Several appeals and memorials were presented, after which the standing .committees were announced.

SWEPT BY A CYCLONE.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE IN A KANSAS TOWN. Fifty Are Killed and 120 Other. Injured ' —Fire in the Wrecked District Adds to the Horror ot the Disaster—The Electric Light Plant Destroyed. Property I.o*s of Half a Million. Wellington (Kan.) special; This city has had a visitation to-night (Friday) from the funnel-shaped cloud which plowed its devastating track through the business part of the town, with immense destruction of property and heavy loss of life. A storm of wind preceded the cyclone about half an hour. A fe.w minutes after 9 o’clock the• cyclone 1 struck the city, coming from jthe west. There wore no premonitory signs. Everybody was indoors, and the cloud passed with its destructive rush and awful roar Jrofterson avenue, the principal business Street, is lined on both sides for blocks»wi|u rulnsi Those known to be dead orq?. Mrs. William Asher, Frank D. Campbell, Michael Fanning, laborer; Walter,Forsyth, James E. Hastie, Ida Jones, dmmgroom girl at the Phillips house; —-McAdams, X. Silva, Mrs. Susan Slasher, burned; Kittle Strahn, two unknown men, Salvation Army soldiers. The injured whose names were learned are; Edward Forsyth, James Lawrence, candidate for Attorney General. The people were thrown into such a state of excitement and the torrent of rain which succeeded the cyclone fell so mercilessly that no organized search for the dead and dying was attempted for some time, and the darkness almost baffled the efforts of the most earnest. How many may lie dead in the ruins of the Phillips House and beneath the ragged piles of broken brick and splintered timbers everywhere about there is as yet no means of estimating. As fast as the injured are found they are being conveyed to the Grand Army Hall, which serves as a hospital, and their number is now increased to sixtythree. The number of the dead Is now reported as beirg fifty. All of the finest buildings are in ruins, and every newspaper office In the oity Is a wreck. It is now estimated that the number of buildings destroyed exceeds 200 and the majority of them are business blocks. While the Hull Wan in Progreii. A ball was in progress at the Phillips Hotel, and the guests were nearly all there when the storm broke. Seven bodies, all unidentified, have been taken from the ruins. Beneath the ruins imprisoned occupants were calling for aid, while many others were beyond earthly assistance. Some of the guests escaped as by a miracle; how many, no one knows. The proprietor of the hotel says his house was well filled and he does not see how It was possible for many of his guests, who were in their rooms in the upper stories of the structure, to have escaped. To add to the horrors of the hotel wreck fire broke out in the ruins, and it Is believed some who might have been taken out alive perished in the flames and smoke. Seven bodies thus far have been taken from the ruins ot the hotel. A Woman Burned to Death. Flames also followed the cyclone in the debris of the Robinson Block on Washington avenue. Mrs. Susan Asher was known to be In the ruins. Those who first reached there heard her calling for help. They went to work with a will, when the flames, which had already made some progress, seemed to gain a fresh impetus. A sheet of fire swept over the spot where the woman was pinned down by timbers, and the rescuers were compelled to retreat,leaviug her to her fate; Farther down the street are the offices of the Monitor, Press, and Voice papers. They were completely wrecked. Buildings and contents are alike useless. Across the street were the fragments of a big business block. Here, under a great timber, was found the body of Michel Fanning, a laborer. The wreck of every business house was much like those described. All bod occupants. That a large number of these are dead is beyond question. It was impossible for them to escape. Among the other buildings of prominence destroyed are the Wellington foundry and the First Ward School Building. One Hundred Houses Destroyed. The width of the cyclone’s path was about two blocks. In the residenoe section the destruction was nearly as great as in the business portion of the town. Fully 100 residences arq practically ruined, and, in fact, the whole north part of the city is devastated. The Presbyterian and Lutheran churches, the old stone court house, the Wellington Hotel —all are in ruins. The streets are impassable. Where buildings on the edge qf the storm’s path withstood lie fury, great trees, twisted into fantastic shapes, are prone across the roadway, while entangled in the branches and trunks is a network of telegraph wires, the whole forming a thorough bar to progress on sidewalk or street. The work of caring for such of the injured as have been extricated from the wreck is proceeding as rapidly as it is In the power of hundreds of the townspeople to expedite it. All Sorts of Humors Prevail. It is at this time utterly impossible to state with absolute certainty the loss of life. The excitement is such that It Is Impossible to speak with knowledge of entire facts as to either loss of life, injuries, or damage to property. The wildest rumors prevail, and the estimate previously given is the most conservative possible under the circumstances. That the death and damage are great no one can gainsay. Wellington is the county seat of Sumner County, Kansas. It has a population of 10,000. Thrifty and enterprising, it is located in the center of a thickly populated agricultural district, and is the most prominent town in Southern Kansas. This is the first cyclone that has ever visited the town.

Napoleon's Map.

VFtien Napoleon WtfS ftfStTWlTffltflel France, Bourrienne,. one day just before the Eastern oampalgn, came Into Ihe Cabinet at the Tullerles and found a large map unrolled upon the oarpet and Napoleon stretched upon it, moving pins about that were tipped with red and blac)c sealing wax. Bourrienne very soon saw that the red represented the French and the black the Austrian forces; he watched the progress of the pin campaign in silence, but with the deepest interest. Having oonduoted the maneuvers to a successful termination, Napoleon looked up at his Secretary and said; “Do you think I shall begt Molas?" “Why, how can I tell?’’ replied Bourrienne. "Tell! you simpleton, look here! Mslas is at Alexandria, and will remain .there until Genoa surrenders. His •Imaigasines, hospitals, artillery and reserves are in Alexandria. Passing the /ilps here, ” said he, sticking a pin into thp great St. Bernard, "I fall upon his rear, cut off his communications with Austria and meet him in ihe valley here." So saying ho stuck a red pin Into the plain of “Marengo.” Bourrienne looked upon the moving of tfhe pins as mere pastime, and was so Incredulous that Napoleon rolled up the map, exclaiming playfully, “Oh, you ninny and goose!” Ten weeks later Bourrienne found himself writing up the battle of Marengo at Napoleon’s dictation on the very spot where he had placed the pin and recalled the olroumstance with wonder at his foresight that bordered on revence.—Wide Awake.

A Story of Grant.

I once heard, with rove;once and with misty eyes, the Btory of General Grant's return from the last brief Journey he ever took from tho oottage on Mt, MaoGregor. The General had a favorite walking stick without which he never went abroad, even on his drives, and his walking stiok had its own plaoe in the corner of his room; no hand but his own ever put it there or took it thence. Day after day the journey from his chair to that corner before he sot forth, from the corner to the chair after his return and the replacement of the stiok in its own place, grew more difficult to tho General’s nerveless and weary feet. And there came that day, at last, when, on coming in, he glanced toward tho corner, stood for a moment, silently, waveringly, a little quiver on the brave and steadfast lips, and then with a gesture which was a wordless renunoiation of life and all its dear associations, he opened his tremulous hand and let the old Btlok drop from it to the floor at his feet. It was but a few days later that he entered, with a soldier's courage, that shadowy valley of tlje Journey through which David said; "Thy rod, Thy staff, they oomfort me."—Boston Commonwealth.

The Origin of a Common Saying.

“I acknowledge tho corn," originated in the halls of Congress in 1828, when Andrew Stewart declared- in a speech that Ohio, Indiana, and Kentuoky Bent their hay-stacks, oorn-flolds, and fodder to New York and Philadelphia for sale. One Wickcllffe of Kentucky called him to order, saying that those States did not send hay-staoks or oornflelds away for sale. “Well, what do you send?” inquired Stewart. “We send cattle, horses, mules, and hogs." “ Very well. What makes your oattle, horses, mules, and hogs? You feed SIOO worth of hay to a horse. You Just ruminate and get on top of your haystack and ride off to market. How is it with your cattle? You make them carry SSO worth of hay and grass to the Eastern market. How much corn does it take at 33 cents a bushel to fatten a hog?" “Why, thirty bushels.” “Then you put thirty bushels into the shape of a hog and make it walk off to the Eastern market." “Mr. Speaker," cried Wickcllffe, springing to his feet at this point, “I acknowledge the corn!"—Golden Days.
