Declares the Tobacco Habit is a Disease. He Proves It by the Wonderful Results of Oxygen Tobacco Cure Not a Single Case of Failure Has Yet Been Reported. It Is .Guaranteed to Cure in Every Case. In till former attempts to cure the habit of u.-dng tobacco it has been treated only as a filthy habit' which only needed to have a substitute not quite ho filthy to be used in IU stead. All such efforts were failures, because they were based on false idea. The truth is that the demand for tobacco Is a disease, and if cured it must be by correcting and removing the diseased conditions. And to do this successfully the true pathology of the disease must be understood. - Dr. Coblentz has accomplished this after yearn of patient study, and has' at last Klven to the world a perfect cure in Oxygen Tobacco Cure." lie has submitted it to the several tests possible in thousands of ?ases, and yet, up to this time, not a single failure has been reported. It will cure you &a it has thousands of others. The question Is, do you want to be cured of the disease? If sj. Oxygen Tobacco Cure is what you want. It is no experiment, but a thoroughly tried and proven remedy. Out of the thousands who have tested it in this city not a single failure has been reported.

General passenger agents of the Western roads voted at Chicago, yesterday, on the agreement which they have been considering for the past two weeks. They adopted It, with the exception of two disputed points, which will bo referred to the executive officers for action. One of these points Is the claim of the Illinois Central to have It3 business points south of the Ohio river exempted .from tho provisions of the agreement. This-is a point it has always insisted on and If has always succeeded In securing the exemption in the past. Some roads object, however, to its enjoying the privilege any longer and it will require the executive officers to settle tho point. The other disputed matter relates to the organization of local associations. Some of the roads object to be compelled to being members of local associations in territory not reached by their lines, but yet where they maintain local agencies. Their objection is based on the question of expense. These two points in dispute will be certified immediately by the chairman to the executive officers, who will probably tako action on them at a meeting to be held next week. The action will be certified back to the chairman, who will immediately issue a call for another meeting of general passenger agents to execute the agreement. While the agreement as at present drafted relates only to the territory east of the? Missouri river, it is understood that the lines west of the river are prepared to come in and the agreement will eventually cover all territory up to Colorado common points. An agreement was virtually adopted yesterday by the Western roads covering the Issue of half-fare clergy permits for the year 1X. It provides for the creation of 9. new bureau in connection with the Western Passenger Association, to have charge of the Issue of all such permits. ThU will redeye the roads of an immense amount of clerical labor. It will also reduce to a minimum the possibility of demoralization from .he misuse of such permits. -VII arpllea:ions for the rame must be made to the chairman, who will investigate, and if he lnds the applicant entitled to the courtesy sought will issue a Joint permit which will be good on any Western road. Each application must be accompanied by a titty-cent fee, which, if the permit be refused, will be returned. The object of this fee is to make tho new bureau self-supporting. All tho roads, with one exception, voted in favor cf the agreement. That one withheld ts vote, but it is certain to be In favor of ;he proposed change. General passenger agents of the St. Loul3 line have rgreed that hereafter the sale of all intoxicating liquors will be strictly prohibited on. their roads in connection with all exeurson business. Th'.s will cut off a profitable ourc of income to many picnic parties and affairs of that kind. Albert S. White Views. Albert S, White. general manager of the Erie fast freight lines, was1 In the city yesterday. He had visited officially Chicago, Peoria. St. Louis, Kansas City and Indianapolis, and expressed the opinion that rot in many years have rates been as well maintained as at present. He states that the Erie is taxed to its utmost capacity to handle the business offered, and on the Chicago & Erie it Is difficult to handle the traffic on a single track. In speaking of an aiticle which recently appeared In an Interview with a local shipper, in which Mr. White was quoted as saying it cost but 10!j cents to transport one hundred pounds of freight from IndimapolU to the seaboard, he said it neetlel qualifying; the idea he Intended to convfy. was that the net cost of carry" In It was 10-. cents per " one hundred pounds. He added that he did not think it would be possible to arrive at the actual cot of earning one hundred pounds of freig'it from Indianapolis to New York wer the actual expenses of operating the road In all its departments Included. In commenting' on the presidents agreement Mr. White said the general opinion seemed to be that It would not go into operation for some months, as It is thought that the outcomo of the formation of the Joint Traffic Association the presidents propose win oe a pooi ana tney are waiting to see what action Congress might tako regarding pools. His comments, he raid, wero THE GENUINE IMPORTED CARLSBAD SP3UDEL SALT Is of great benefit in temporary and habitual constipation, liver and kidney diseases, chronic catarrh of the stomach and bowels, rheumatism, gout, etc., and should be used in the morning- before breakfast. Best taken when out-door exercise can be had. ; Obtain the genuine article, which must bear the signature of "Eisner & Mendelson Co.. Agents, ew York."

only based on remarks concerning the matter which he had heard when in company w Ith other railroad men. Want the 3loney for Improvements. It Is stated that the stockholders of the Pittsburg. Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis (Panhandle) are somewhat disappointed that no dividend has been declared on the stock, as an intimation had been made that there would be. An official of the lines, in speaking of the passing of the Panhandle dividend, said: "While our revenue on the Western lines is large, the outlays for improvements are on a large scale. The widening of tunnels and construction of. new bridges and station buildings between Pittsburg and Indianapolis and Cincinnati, which is now going on, will cost close on to a million dollars, but as the net earnines this year will be over a million and a half, and the indications point to still larger earnings for the coming year, present improvements are not of a nature to make it necessary to pass the divldenJ. Th Panhandle needs four tracks between Pittsburg and Wheeling: Junction at present and double tracks from Wheeling Junction to Columbus and even as far as Indianapolis, as Its traffic Is enormous, and is increasing at a phenomenal rate." A llljc Moittlt 011 the Rett RonI. In October there were transferred over the Belt road 71.432 cars, an increase over October, 1S31, of S.C15 cars. Belt road engines handled at the yards 3,410 carloads of live stock, an Increase this year of 1,320 carloads. On the JCelt road switches, for Industries located thereon, there were handled 3.166 cais, an increase this year of 1.071 cars. The number o transfers over tho Belt was the largest of any month in the seventeen years the road has been operated. Personal, Local und General Notes. In October there were shipped from mines on the Indianapolis Vincennes, 1,612 carloads of coal. Samuel Thomas, president of the Louisville, New Albany &. Chicago, is looking the property over. The Nlckel-plato Is fitting up a han'lsome room for a reading room at Fort Wayne for the company's employes. Passenger crews on the Pennsylvania lines and Uilion station employes yesterday donned their winter uniforms. The railways are now deriving quite a handsome revenue from hunting parties, a class of travel which is increasing each fall. It. H. F. Peirce, receiver of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City, who has been in Toledo most of the week, returned last night. Vice President Layng, of the Big Four, returned East over the Nickel-plate as far as Buffalo, when he took the West Shore, of which he is president. Thomas A. Morris, assistant chief engineer of the Big Four, and a party of friends returned yesterday from a ten days' hunt along the Tippecanoe river. Paul Rainer, chief of the weighing and Inspection bureaus, was in the city yesterday, looking over allege 1 crookedness on the part of oho of the Indianapolis lines. Tho Chicago & Alton is figuring on the putting on of through service between Chicago and the Pachic coast, via the Iron Mountain, Texas & Pacific and Southern Pacific lines. . The large passenger engines on the Vandalla, recently put in service, have 320 Hues and the largest fire-box surface of uny. engines built, and will carry, with safety, 1W pounds of steam. Twenty-fivo of the older coaches of the Panhandle are being put through the shoos at Columbus to be repaired and repainted. They have been sold to the New York Equipment Company. W. T. Park, who for many years was traveling auditor of the Toledo, Ann Arbor & Northern Michigan, was .buried at Greenville, Mich., yesterday, he dying on Wednesday of Brlght's disease. " The Panhandle company is sinking a number of wells on its 1U es to secure soft water." It has Just corioleted cne at Goodland, Ind., striking a fi.it? vein or soft water at a depth of 1,40 feet. The directors of the Pennsylvania railroad met in Philadelphia yesterday and declared the usual semi-annual dividend of 2U per cent. cash. No other business was transacted at the meeting. J. W. Allen, general freight agent of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, retired yesterday -on account of ill health. He will be succeeded by W. 15. Groseclose, commercial agent of the road at Houston, Tex. Train 5, over the Louisville division of the Pennsylvania lines, connects at Seymour with the fast mall train out of Cincinnati, which reaches Seymour at 6:2 a. m., and delivers passengers in St. Jxmls at 1:30 noon. K Unless the Wabash falls behind the next two months in its earnings it will have no trouble in paying Its fixed charges for this year, as already, a sufficient sum has been earned to do so, the first time In many years. On Thursday II. C. Townserd, general passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific, was called upon to redeem twelve tickets (unlimited) which had been issued twenty-four years ago. The company redeemed them at face value. The fast run .from Cleveland, which was to havebeen made on Monday next, over tie Big Four, to St. Louis, as a speed test, has been postponed indefinitely by President Ingalls, he yesterday telegraphing J. Q. Van Winkle to that effect. Fivo passenger ensinea built by the Baldwin locomotive works for the Delaware & Hudson have been ordered back by the Railroad Commlsloners of New York to have their weight reduced 5.C00 pounds, on the ground that they are too heavy for the bridges of that road. On the recent trip of President Ingalls. of the Big Four and the Chesapeake & Ohio,

and Chauncey M. Depew, president of the New York Central, the run from llandley. W. Va., to Huntington, on the C. O., a distance of seventy-one miles, was covered in sixty-seven minutes. The traveling passenger agents have realized that, within the next' few months, there will be seventeen thousand people to carry from Indiana, Illinois, Iowa. Kansas and Nebraska, to make up what is known as the Fitzgerald colony, which is to locate in Georgia, and they are already In the Held after the business. There is considerable soreness on the part of some of the old freight men on the Lake Erie & Western that the management went outglle to appoint a general freight agent for the Cleveland. Akron & Columbus, recently acquired by the. Brloe syndicate, as there were several men on tho road competent ani entitled to promotion. At the meeting of the stockholders of the Grand Trunk, held in London on Wednesday, President Wilson was criticised for selecting as general manager an American Instead of a Canadian or Englishman. President Wilson gave the stockholders to understand that he thought an American the most capable of tilling tho place. Wm. S. Branson. 1 chief clerk of Harry Fuller, general pasenger agent of the Chesapeake & Ohio, and son of H. M. Bronsjn, assistant general passenger agent of the Big Four, was married on Wednesday evening to a young lady of Washington, D. C. The bride and groom were the recipients of a number of elegant and costly presents. The Tanhandle freight department claims that its lines out of Chicago and St. Iouls are carrying SO per cent, of the dressed meats to Eastern markets. As the Bee-line division of the Big Four is now handling th largest dressed meat traffic In its history. It might be well for the Panhandle to cut its claim about 30 per cent., say tho Big Four people. Under the new time schedule there is but one passenger train each way daily over the Whitewater road. This is the only accommodation for passenger service except a freight train hauling one pasenger coach, end from one end of the road to the other there is a general complaint. The road is said to be doing the best business in its history. The Pennsylvania Company will soon give an order for fifty rJi'ngr coaches Tor the Panhandle lines, which for three months past have been borrowing coaches from the Pennsylvania proper to handle their business. County fairs, political meetings, excursions, etc., coupled with a large increase of regular travel, made it necessary to borrow equipment. Traffic Manger Stevens, of the Chicago & Southeastern, is in the city. He state that the road is doing all the business it can with its present equirmect. It is now building up a coal traffic. In connection with the Monon, for northern points, turning over to the Monon, at Ladoga, eight to ten carloads of coal a day. besides several carloads of other classes of freights. But few persons are aware of the expenses connected with railway terminals. At present it requires eighty-eight engines and crews to do the switching sendee at Indianapolis. This Includes both the day and night service and that of the Belt road. It is but a few years since flfty-six engines and crews did the work, and when it had not by any means been so systematized as at present. Tho private car of C. K. ScbafT. assistant general manager of the Big Four, recently built at Brlghtwood, Is attracting a good deal of attention as It goes over the country and excites surprise that so tine a car could be built at the Big Four shops. The interior is finished in cherry, with handsomely carved panels, which, though Main. j are yet -very .rich. The prevailing color in I deccration is green. In the observation end of the car are three luxuriously upholstered i chairs in green, and the floor is covered

with a green Axmlnster carpet. Then come three state rooms.flanked -by a narrow hallway, the cook's room, the kitchen, and then the dining room, in which stands a small dining table and four dining room chairs. The car rides on two heavy six-wheel trucks, and beneath the body of the car are the equipment boxes,' well stocked with provisions. BOSTON MAN ABSENT

SCHOOL BOARD STILL ALLOWS HIS SKAT TO RE3IAIX tXOCCt'FIED. Grim Joke In School 3IanunI. Where AppePs Residence Is Given nt I'reniel's Trnst Bnllrtlnir. The School Board last night met without the presence of the member from Boston, Mr. Appel, who moved out of town six months ago. The new manuals were distributed to members last night, and the address of the member from Boston, credited to District 11, 13 given at Frenzel's Trust .Company Building, which Is nowhere near the district. In this connection it is worthy of note that Mr. Appel appears in the roster of a secret society of which he Is a member of having his home In Boston. A member suggested last night that perhaps Appel's sense of duty had been placed in deposit, and he urged that tho member from Boston should have the decency to .resign. It is probable, It Is said, thaj: legal proceedings will be taken to force him to resign. President Martindale was asked last night If he had the resignation of Mr. Appel, rumors having been circulated to that effect "So," he said, as he assumed the defensive. "Has Mr. Appel . resigned?" was next asked. "No," he said. "Why don't he resign?" "That's his business." It was twenty minutes late when the president called the commissioners to order laSt night, with every commissioner except ! the ring's absent member present. The as sistant secretary went through the empty form of calling his name, but her voice only aroused a memory. Superintendent Goss reported that the increase in the enrollment of the schools during the first month of the new year over the same month of the previous year is 1,391. The report of the finance committee recommending that $1,427.95 be paid to H. II. Hanna as agent for the payment of supplies purchased for the Industrial High School was adopted. The amount will be delivered to him unJer the resolution in the form of $3GG.9S cash, and. the balance in notes, which the president and treasurer were authorized to sign. Bills to tho amount of &,433 were reported and ordered paid. The committee on supplies recommenced that a horse, wagon and harness, not to exceed $2G in cost, be purchased for the use of the superintendent of buildings and grounds. Under tho rules this went over. On the recommendation of architect Scherrer and of the committee on finance the new school buildings at the corner of North Capitol avenue and Twentieth street, and at Lexington avenue and State street, were accepted, and the committee was authorized to make the final payment when the contractors make oath that they have compiled with tho contract. The contract for four hundred chairs for use in the school buildings was let to Sander & Becker at 14.43 a dozen. The contract for constructing a biological case for the use of the Hign School was let to Henry Coburn at ?9). Miss Lucinda Hayden was employed as a teacher in the primary grades of the colored schools. The library committee reported a total of books in the library and a total use during the month of 22,661. The board then adjourned. Tlure is much discussion among the members and with the superintendent relative to the rule requiring nonresidents to pay for the tuition of their children. President Martindale said last right: "We have reason to believe that between SCO and LOW. children are in our schools whoso parents are not legal residents of this city, and we have been trying very hard to relieve the congested state of our schools by enforcing the rule against them. The reputation of our schools brings many children who have any resident relative or friend willing to care for them and permit them to go to school. Thero are children attending the schools here whose parents are citizens of North Carolina, Alabama and Kentucky. Tho rule,, we have found, is not based upon as clear a statute as it should be, and the act should be amended at the first opportunity. The office of the superintendent is crowded dally with those who are objecting to the refusal to allow children of their households the privilege of our schools. Each case has some peculiarities, and each must be determined with reference to these. We have come to the conclusion that our rule has been a little stringent, and hardly supported by the statute, but we cannot let down the bars any wider. There are nonresident children enough to fill a large schoolhouse themselves, and this entails a heavy expense, which the board must provide for." WEATHER BUREAU FIGURES.

SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORK

ELUCIDATION AXD '1XEVIEW OF IXTERXATIOXAL LESSOX, NOV. 3. Samuel the Jndgre, ns Related In First r Samuel viit Xerncn God'a "Work: In Unman Affair. By REV. JAMES E. GILBERT, D. D.. Secretary of the American Society of Religious Education. (These lessons constitute the Sundayschool extension department of the above named society. All who study them are re3ucsted to senl their names, postofflce adress and denomination, mentioning this paper, to the author at Washington, D. C, for enrollment.) CONTEXT. After that night vision In the tabernacle (Ch. ill, 2-14) many things transpired in Samuel's faVor. As he grew the ' Lord was with him, making further disclosures of His wijl, and every word spoken was faithfully kept. Ch. ill, 19-21.) It soon became known, from Dan on the north to Eeer-Sheba on tho south, that a prophet had risen. War broke out with the Philistine?. (Ch. hv 1, 2.) After a severe repulse the Israelites carried the ark of the Lord Into the camp, hoping that its presence would secure victory, but the enemy still triumphed. The ark was captured, and Hophnl and Phineas were idain. (Ch. iv, 11.) On receiving intelligence of these disasters EH fell backward from his seat and died, being nearly a hundred years old. (Ch. iv, 15.) In one day the house of Eli was destroyed, "fulfilling- the word of the Lord (Ch. ill, 12), and Samuel 7as left in charge of the religious Institutions, having already gained public confidence. The ark was troublesome to the riiilistines. who, after keeping it for sven months, gladly returned it. ! (Ch. vli, 1.). But It was never again set up in Shlloh. In the time of David, many years after, it was brought to Jerusalem. (II Sa:q. vi, 12.) The death of Ell opened the way for Samuel and reform ,V ASSEMBLY. Entering at once upon the duties of the office Of judge, Samuel called the, people to a better life, urging them to put away strange gods.. Following the example of Moses (Deut. 1, 3), and of Joshua (Josh, xxlv, 1), he convened a public assembly. The place selected was Mizpah (Judges x, 17), . a city of Benjamin, not far . distant from his. home, about twenty miles south of Shiloh, which was in Ephraim. The elders were brought together in that convocation, the purpose being to offer prayer for the divine blessing. Various religious exercises were conducted. They fasted (Neh. ix, 1),' afflicting' their bodies in tokens of ill-desert. They made open confession of rin, taying: '."We have sinned against the Lord," shewing that they knew the terms of forgiveness (I John 1, 9), for God's promises to the penitent are ever the same. (I Kings viii, 47.) They drew water and poured it out before the Lord, symbolizing their repentance. (Psalm xxil, II.) This ancient ceremonyj borrowed pos?ibly from the heathen, practiced at least by the Hindoos, was a highly Expressive one, suitable for Oriental people, who seek to exhibit inward states by .their actions. ENEMIES. In turning, aside to confess their sins and renew the covenant Israel did not escape their enemies, .. Whoever attempts a good life must expect to encounter foes. (Job I, 6.) The Philistines, who gained such a complete victory in the time of Eli, interpreted the assembly under Samuel as a challenge. They had reason to do so. It is probable, as some think, that the people went to Mizpah armed, a kind of religio-po-Utieo-milltary concodrse, for, as we shall see, they were prepared to fight. . But, if this is not the case, a.'-others contend, if the assembly was purcjy religious, the Philistines knew that theooutoorte- would be the same. A' revival of relicfon in Israel always prepared for war. (Psalrri cxllv, i.) When it became known that the warriors of Philistla were approaching:, there was intense excitement in the Israeliti.-u camp. It was. Indeed, an hour of peril. : The long years of oppression had given Rood ground for fear. But -the penitents displayed their double faith. Believing that the Lord could deliver them, and that Samuel, the Judge, had access to God. they entreated him to pray for them. It is possible that they remembered how. In olden time xvli, 12), Amaltk Was defeated by' Joshua while Moses prayed. They hoped that the former days and their glories might b repeated, through the power of God and the intercession of His minister. (I John v,-4.) SACRIFICE. Israel Jjad now come into the proper attitudo athe people of God. They had assembled ast one nation, humbled themselves and confessed their sins; and, surrounded by enemies, thev had turned for help to God. and His servant Samuel may undertake their cause with assurance of success. He proceeded in the appointed way, the way of the ordinance.-. A young lamb, not yetjweancd, was sacrificed as a whole burnt offering. (Lev. 1, 3.) This was an act of dedication. It typified the offering up of the nation; its entire consecration to God. This instructive ceremonial (Lev. viii. 18-21); trt-inglng to mind the institutions of Moses' and-the customs of the patriarchs (Gen. viii. 20), , must have made a profound Impression ,upon thoeo present. By this act they were saying what we sometimes sing, "We are thine, do thou defend us." They were casting themselves into the Almighty arms. (Psalm xl, 1.) Progress -was thus made in the reform and education of the nation, and the man who is doing all this is strengthening his holi upon the hearts of the people. While the smoke of the sacrifice ascended Samuel was engaged in prayer, and nc was heard. God remembered IBs people. - BATTLE. The Philistines drew hear to battle before the sacrifice was completed. With presumption they - attacked praying men they fcaged war upon Jehovah. Acts v, S9.) The gauge of battle was accepted by the Almigatj-. As at Jf-richo (Josh. vi. 29), and as in the days of Gideon "(Judges vli, 22), so hero God used Ills ofcn power without man's aid. His thunder sent terror and confusion into the ranks of the Philistines .ml discomforted them.(Hcb. x. CI.) "There Is a Just .God who will raise up friends' to fight our battles." said Patrick Henry. He had not .conceive! of - God. who. alone of the field of strife, could put a whole army to flight. (Matt. xxvl. 5.1.) When the victory had been gained the men of Israel, their sacrifice finished, were permitted to engage in the fight. Men must light as well as pray. (I Tim. vi. 22.) Whatever God does, he leaves -something for man to do. (Phil li, 11, II.) The Philistines were pursued westward even to Beth-car, on the hilltop overlooking their own country, and many were slain. When God undertakes for us, how weak our enemies. (Lev. xxi. 7). how strong our hearts. (Prov. xxvill. 1.1 Israel wn riiv ered that day, Samuel was magnified, God was-glorified. (Psalm xx, 7.) EBENEZKR. In times of success ft is cu to rejoice ammo reassure the heart. Jt is also proper to consider the secrets of success, thereby obtaining wisdom for future endeavor. But. when tho fa I nr nf C.n I has been manifested in an hour of extreme danger, duty to after generations requires that the fact shall te commemorated. Samuel, having gained immortality by hi prayer (Psalm xcix, 6), .desired also to publish to all what the Lord had done; Jacoblike (Gen. xxvid, IS), he selected a stone for his monument, an I spt It up on the plain, midway between Mizpah, the place of sacrifice, and Shen. .the place of victory It looked backward to the humiliation and confession, and forward to the struggle and the triumph. That stone was nami Ebenczer. "Hitherto the Lord hath helped us," It was placed on the tpot where, a few years before. Israel had been defeated, d Sam. iv, 1.) All who passed by In the vears following would be reminded that a single people, turning to the Lord, might obtain His help and retrieve their misfortunes This silent witness to coming generations stcod but little distance from that pile of stones which testified of the crossing over Jordan. (Josh, iv, 21.) . ritOSPEHlTV. That victory ushered in a long period of peace. For a quarter of a century the Israelites were free from the alarms of war. (Psalm xxxlv, 7.) The name of Samuel and the fear of Samuel's God prevented all attacks from foes. "Tho hand of the Lord was against the Philistines." holding them In check. They even abandoned the cities which they had taken in Eli's time, rettoring them to Isael. Hetiring quietly into their own country they came no more into the. borders of Israel until Saul was made king. (1 Sam. xlll, 0.) The Amorltes. also, whose home was on the east of Jordon, refrained from war. The repose granted to the land was like that enjoyed! after the renewing of the covenant under Joshua. (Jcsh. xxiv, 31). had sseroMy at Mizpah like the assembly at Shechem (Josh, xxlv, 1). had revived a spirit of piety and patriotism, and temporal prosperity followed as a consequence in both cases. (Psalm cxllv, 15.) By one display or interposing power and merry God had taught th nation that which thev had been slow to learn, which they would

SERVICE Peace gave Samuel opportunity to employ his talents for his country's good, lie was no warrior, but a Judge, combining the qualities of a religious teacher with those of a statesman. Ly his long connection with the houae of God, beginning under Ell and continuing after his death, as well as by direct communications from God, he was eminently qualified for his position. He appointed certain places forming a circuit, whero he went to discharge his duties. Resides his own home at Raman, he had Bethel, Gilsal and Mizpah. all of them in the tribe of UenJamln, places of historic Interest, regarded for many years as holy cities. There at times he assembled the people, taught them their duty and reproved their sins, as the prophets did afterward (Ezpk. xx, 4). settled differences, punished offenders, heard appeals from inferior courts, and sought to elevate the people and conform their rocial life to the constitution and statutes of tho theocracy. In short ho became a kind of chief magistrate like unto Mos-es (Ex. xviii, 13, 16, his authority being recoRnized by all as proceeding from God. 1 Sam. ix, 8.) Samuel continued in thi3 Fervice during his life time, exen after the appointing of Saul (1 Sam. xil, 23). who, as king, was the military leader under him. REFLECTIONS. The study of the character and career of a great man in hlsh station prompts man questions. Whence come they? Heredity, environment, trainlag, opportunity these are the simple words used bv the philosopher to explain their advent. That these are the factors none can doubt, but that other factors, seliom considered, are present is equally certain.. The one great truth of Holy Scripture, spread on every pae:e, is this: That God is nt work in human history. (Dan. Iv. 17.) Samuel was produced, qualified, raised up and established that he might fill a place and do a work. Divine forces operated In him and through him. So it was with others who turned the course of events and ushered in now eras. (Ex., ix, lfi. God has not left humanity to itself. The destinies of the race are In His hands. He has a purpose, and He will bring forward in His own good time those who will advance that purpose. (Isa. xlll, 1.) There may be darkness and discord for a season, resulting from man's sin and folly. But there will be light and peace afterward. (Isa. xxl, 12.) Let men trust In God. (Rev. xlx. fi.) Pessimism is a sin. (I Kings xlx I.) The Samuels aro In preparation. ' There In Xo 1'nbellef. There is no unbelief; Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod And waits to see It push away the clod, He trusts in God. Whoever says wdien clouds are in the sky. Re patient heart, light breaking by and by Trusts the Most High. Whoever sees. 'neath Winter's field of Fnow. The silent harvest of the future grow, God's power must know. Whoever Hps down on his couch to sleep. Content to lock each sense in slumber deep, Knows God will keep. Whoever says, 'To-morrow, M "the Unknown," "The Future, trusts that power alone He dares disown. The heart that looks on when the eyelids close And dares to live when life has only woes, God's comfort knows. j There is no unbelief, : And day by day and n'.Kht unconsciously '. The heart lives by that faith that lips deny God knowcth why. Rulwer. ConccrnluR the Ilartliqunkc. To the Editor of the Inlianapolis Journal: Looking at tho map we find that the geographical center of the region suffering the disturbance yesterday morning Is approximately coincident with the gas and oil held of Indiana. I conjecture that the two facts are to be taken together In the relation of cause and effect. The agency of man In opening, perhaps, fifty thousanJ, or, maybe, a hunired thousand flues Into tho unlerg round gas lakes and oil reservoirs of Indiana and Ohio ought to be sufficient to account for the shock, the notices of which are so abundant to-day. It stands to reason that the Issuance from below of the Incalculable volume of gases ana the immeasurable ocean of ell that have, been liberated on the surface and consumed or borne away within the past ten years, must have produced, wo will not say enormous cavities in the underground regions from which the materials have been drawn away, but undoubtedly a very great reluctlon In the former pressure which supported the strata out of which the gas and oil have escaped. We cannot tell science cannot at present tell precisely what changes have taken place In tho region of tho Trenton rock: but it accords with right reason that such changes have been considerable. That the vasv superincumbent areas should stand fast for a while after tho exhaustion below has begun is believable; but that the superficial strata should ultimately settle, with considerable shock, such as that of yesterday, is not only reasonable, but goes with the spying.
