WHAT'S the matter with our Correspondents? They are all right

THE report that Mary Anderson had become insane is pronounced false by her physician. She is, however, suffering from nervous postration, and will be compelled to take a long rest. All of her engagements have been cancelled. She has made an enormous fortune in the last 14 years in her theatrical career, and is now but 30 years of age.

GEN. WANAMAKER'S idea in regard to the postal service is a good one. He says: "I want to keep the mail bag open to the latest possible minute, then get it to its tination in the shortest possible time, then get each separate piece of mail person for whom it is meant in the est possible way. To do this I must of course, the best possible assist-

Wliy Ministers Fail in Church ll'ttrk. Jscw York Graphic. Why so many ministers make failure of their work is a constant subject of discusion in religious circles. An eminent doctor of divinity has drawn up a spicy list of reasons for failure in church work. It includes bad financial habits, neglect of refined manners, failure to hold the tongue on special occasions, autocratic pretentions, ultra notions about disciplining the flock, overabundant, serioimnexs or superabundant jocoseness, mental laziness and intellectual rashness. The clergyman who can avoid all these faults is a ^remarkable sort of a chap. He could succeed in any walk of life, and probably "wouldn't be a clergyman at all.

NEW PALESTINE.

Editor Rcpullican:

In looking over your paper under date March 1, 1889, Ave note an item in regard to the dedication of the new Evangelical! Lutheran church at this place sigued "Brim." From the tone of his writing we surmise the writer of the article was biased in his feelings and belief or he would have mentioned all of what took place and all of the speakers who entertained the people on that occasion. The building and establishing of the church in our midst is an honor to the town,county and country. It cost about $7,000 to erect the same and if we are informed correctly will soon be out of debt, owing at the present time about $1,500. The representative capital of its members reach near $1,000,000, so no one need have the lesst fear but that the debt will be paid in the near future. If I mistake not, the new church, at this writing, contains another organ, besides the one used for the church proper, both of which will be presided over by the pastor, Rev. Wittich, who is a talented musician,being educated in the old country under the master of art, and let me say that in the judgmeut and opinion of many of our citizens no other man could have come here and gathered together a scattered people and by his energy and ability raised the money and built a church that is and will be as long as it stands an ornament to this place.

Mr. Wittich stands like a peer among the preachers of his denomination and we as well as others hope that in the near future we may have the pleasure of hearing him in English. Many remarked during services that the church seemed so home-like that they could hardly realize that they were at a small country town but were in one of our large and commodious city churchcs. The seating capacity of the house is about GOO but would probablp accommodate, during a large gathering, 800 people. The seats are built circular and the church is of the opera or amphitheatre style inside which gives all the better view of the pulpit aud preacher. The bills announcing the dedication of this church were printed and we notice that the names of all the speakers were printed thereon with the exception of the pastor of the Christian church. Why it was left off is a question, as a matter of course, we take it for granted that as he is a small as well as a young man they forgot to mention him in with the large pastors. Nevertheless by the kind invitation of Rev. Wittich he officiated in the afternoon services bp singing a duet with his wife entitled "The Flower Land" with orchestra accompaniment besides delivering a gospel sermon to a very large audience present. Exceptions have been taken we learn to some of the remarks made during his discourse some thinking it a shame that a minister of the gospel should use such language at the dedication of a church. Here is the language: "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned."—Mark xvi, 15-16. "The gospel is the power of God unto salvation.'1 —-Romans i, 16. "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."—Romans x, x.

The morning exercises began promptly at 10 a.m. lasting until after the noon hour. The first sermon was preachod by Rev. Reller, of Cumberland, Marion County, and from what we learn from those that understood, it was an able discourse in German. After this the Rev. McClain, of the M. E. church of this place, preached an able discourse. Mr. Reller also preached in the beginning of the after noon services, followed by Mr. AicKain, of the Christian church, aud he was followed by Rev. Miller, of Bethel, Marion County, who is a marked preacher, being an easy and graceful speaker. The basket contribution amounted to $110. Permit me to speak of the music, choirs and players who took part in the occasion. The organists were Prof. from the Cumberland church, Mrs. Maggie Ashcraft, of the M. E. church, and Miss Jessie Coyner, of the Christian church, of this place. The players were Henry Waltke, Evangelical church, Smith Nichols, M. E. church, J. V. Coyner, Christian church, aud John Westlake. The singing was line and in our judgment the honor, if any, belongs to all alike as all were assisting in taking part aud so clued one of the eventful days in the history of Palestine, long to be remembered by us all. It also closed the season of protracted meetings which have been held at this place for the last six weeks two weeks, which were spent at the M. E. church, with live additions, four weeks at the Christian church with forty-one additions, and so we see my kind readers that, as Rev. McKanesaid, in fact the gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every man that believes it, the hearing aud love for that old primitive gospel has built us a church and strengthened the other churches in the number named.

We have at the present time four churches here at this place all of which have respectful audiences and all are ably supported. Every Sunday morning our people intermingle together to a considerable exteut and we see that such a movement is producing good results and only wish that the same could be cultivated.

Rev. D. R. Lucas, of the Central Christian church, of Indianapolis, delivered a lecture at the Christian church here entitled "Laughter and Tears" to a good audience. Also Miss Titus, of Indianapolis, delivered a lecture at the M. E. church during the week and permit us to my that it was full of thought and should

be heard by all wherever it is delivered. Rev. Tincher, of Indianapolis, occupied the pulpit of the M. E. church Wednesday night in a lecture and view of Palestine of old which was weH received.

The many entertainments we have in view is a concert at the German Evangelical church, an entertainment of some kind to be given by the G. A. R., one by Elder Zach Sweeney, of the Columbus Christian church, also our G. A. R. memorial service on Decoration day, and if our pencil does not get too short and we do not take the whooping cough, mumps or measles we will try and keep up with all of these things and some day write again.

The present head of the Society for this Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Henry Bergh, is the nephew of the founder of the society. He is a slender man, undpr the medium height, with something tof the cast of features of his great relative, though his face is smaller. He was elected by the executive committee of the directors, and has literally stepped into the founder's shoes, working altf of every day at his office, and taking as keen an interest in the humane miss ion of the society as the original Bergh lid. He is a little above 35 years of age.—rfew York Star.

Small Doaiei in Philadelphia. One family of about five persons dwelling is the usual Philadelphia rule. Taking that as the average, Philadelphia built dwelling houses in 1888 for 7,673 families, or 38,365 people. That the love of home—a separate dwelling for each family—holds its own in Philadelphia is shown by the increased .proportion of two 6tory dwellings erected in 1888, nearly 6,000 of these little houses, provided with "modern conveniences," having been erected during the year.—Philadelphia Ledger.

A Man Eating Shark.

Fishing schooner Northern Eagle brought into this porta large man eating shark of the shovel nose species.

LEARNING AMERICAN SECRETS.

Story Told by a Naval Officer—A Shrewd German "Mechanic." A naval officer today, in speaking about the presence of foreigners in the navv, told the following story: "I was sent to Europe not long ago on an important errand, and it became my duty to form the acquaintance of foreign naval officers, in order to accomplish certain ends I had in view, I met many of them at dinners, receptions and entertainments, and was surprised to find out how well they were informed on American naval affairs. I had occasion to go to Kiel, Germany, for the purpose of visiting the dockyards there1.

BKIMFULL.

MAXWELL-

felt sure that my credentials

would admit me to inspect the place, but they did not. I tried a little game of getting the desired pass, by reaching the officials through the use of wines and fine dinners. One day a fine looking German officer met me as I was coming out of my hotel. 'Hello,' said he, slapping me on the shoulder, 'have you got in yet?' He spoke such pure English that for a moment or so I was nonplused. 'No,' I replied, 'will you get me in?" 'I can't 'and thereupon he remarked: 'it is easier to get into your yards than ours.' "I looked at the officer intently and found by his uniform that he was the chief naval constructor, and the man of all men in the German navy that I wanted to meet. 'Will you take a glass of wine with me?' I asked. He consented, and we returned to the hotel. "After a few minutes' conversation we became quite friendly, and I was surprised at the insight lie had of our naval officers. He astonished me by inquiring about certain officers who were at the New York navy yard during the late war. I could not restrain my curiosity, and I asked him: 'How did you become acquainted with the officers?' 'The story is a short one,' he replied. 'When the war broke out in 1861 I was in the German navj', and I got orders to go to America," and study your methods of building ships and getting guns ready for use. When I got to New York my dress was that of a plain German mechanic. I got work as a carpenter and ship joiner under a fictitious name, and in a short time I got used to the nickname "Dutchy." Nobody knew me, aud my curious questions were never suspected, and the workmen readily and in a good humored way answered them. I helped to build and repair ships, and in time got hold of much information. I made plans of the vessel, machinery, guns, rigging, and, in fact, got on to everything. I worked hard at night in my room, and kept my government as well posted as I could.- The more English I learned the better I understood things that the workmen said in my hearing. I worked on the big ship Dunderberg also on the Merrimac, at Norfolk, and on some of the monitors. r.cnt much valuable information home. Now you see the reason why you can't get into our yard.' "The narrative was straightforward, and was so full of facts concerning men and affairs that I readily saw how the German naval constructor got on to my '•K and, although I tried to convince 'to the contrary, he was not to be dwinked. I know where Kiel is, and

I ,.t it has a dock yard, but I'll have to

J.

to Kiel as a German mechanic before jfcan get inside of tliat place. This shows /iow necessary it is to keep an eye on foreigners in our navy yards if we want to keep our secrets."—Washington Chat in Baltimore American.

Old Shoes Turned to Use.

The journal of the Constantinople chamber of commerce describes the industrial uses of old boots and shoes which are thrown out into the streets or into ash pits. After lieing collected they are ripped open and the leather is subjected to a treatment which renders it a pliable mass, from which a kind of artistic leather is derived. This in appearance resembles the finest Cordova leather. In the United States patterns are stamped on tills, while in ranee it is used to cover trunks and boxes. The old boots and shoes are also treated in another way, by which they are converted into new ones*

The prisoners in central France are employed in this way, the old slices coining chiefly from Spain. They are taken to pieces as before, the nails being all removed, and the leather is soaked in water to soften it. The uppers for children's shoes are then cut from it. The soles are also used, for from the smaller pieces of the leather of the old soles the so called Louis XV heels for ladies' shoes are made, while the soles of children's shoes are made from the larger and thicker pieces. The old nails are also put to use, for by means of magnets the iron nails and tlie tacks and brads are separated and .sold. The contractors of the military prison at Montpelier sav that these nails alone pay for the old shoes. Nothing now remains but the scraps, and these have also their value, for they are much soiigut after by certain specialists for agricultural purposes.—Boston Herit Id.

A Curious Kroaclway Lunch Room. One of the most curious varieties of lunch room is down town in Broadway. No chairs arc provided, both sides of the room being lined with shelves loaded with viands, all clearly marked with their different prices. In here rush bankers, lawyers, brokers and clerks. Each grabs a plate, knife, spoon, fork and cup, seizes what ho likes from the shelves, bolts it standing, reckons up his own bill, draws a check from a pile near the door for an equal amount, presents it at tho desk, pays and departs, unquestioned whether he has eaten a dime or a dollar's worth. This method of trusting to customers' honesty is found to pay better with the class of men who eat there than hiring waiters. Undoubtedly a ccrtain quantity is eaten that is not paid for, but a dozen practiced detectives are on the floor during tho rush hours at noon, watching people who are suspected, and the amazing rapidity with which a man can help himself, swallow and be gone, makes the place liighly popular with men who only eat to live, and livo only to hurry.—New York Tribune.

He Was the Only Millionaire. "V/lien I was a boy in this town," a gray beard said as he passed Jay Gould in Wall street, "I was walking along Broadway one day with my sire when he pointed out a bent old Gerinan going up tlie steps of his house. 'Look at that man and you'll see the only millionaire in the United States.' I looked with wonder as he told me that a millionaire was worth a million dollars, and I saw John Jacob Astor. His grandsons can now toss up a hundred times as much, BO can the Vanderbilts and so can Jay Gould. I tell you that a mere millionaire isn't worth looking at in tliis town nowadays. By and by you see a billionaire!"—New York Evening Sun.
