ARMIES OF THE LORD.

ERIGADE OF BAPTISTS MASSED AT BALTIMORE. Fifteen Thousand Young Crusaders Take Possession of the Monumental City—Fifth International Convention -Pan-American Religious Congress. Baptists in Baltimore. On the heels of the great gathering of Christian Endeavorers at Boston, and almost before peans of praise had ceased to echo through the land, came the assembling in Baltimore of the hosts of the Baptist Young People’s Union of America. ft was the fifth international convention of the organization, and the 15,000 delegates, who brought with them nearly as many of their kindred, came from every section of every State in the Union, as well as from Canadafand from Mexico. Owing to the fact that Baltimore has no hall large enough to accommo-

date so great a gathering, a mammoth tent was erected at the Madison street entrance to Druid Hill Park, which is said to have been the largest stretch of tanvasseverputup in the world. It afforded space for 12,#00 chairs, covered a tract of land 325 by 195 feet, and was supported by poles fifty feet in height. Under the shelter of this great canvas 10,000 delegates assembled on the opening morning at 10 o’clock, when the convention was called to order by President Chapman, of Chicago. The devotional exercises, which were characterized by great enthusiasm and fervor, were led by Rev. Dr. C. A. Hoobs, of Delnvnn, Wis. Praise and prayer occupied nearly half an hour, and welcoming addresses were then in order. Eugene Levering, of the Eutaw Place Church, spoke for the churches of Baltimore; Rev. H. W. Wharton, of the Brantly Memorial Church,

PLAN OF THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION TENT.

spoke for the Young People’s Society of Baltimore; and response on behalf of the board of managers of the international union and the delegates was made by Rev. Dr. A. C. Dixon, of Brooklyn. The latter laid special stress upon the fact that this was the first time that Mexico had sent delegates to the convention, and gave an especial greeting to those from the provinces of Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba. A rousing reception was given to the Indefatigable general secretary. Dr. Frank L. Williams, when he took the platform for the purpose of reading the general report of the general managers, and after this document had been disposed of without discussion two brief addresses were delivered, one upon culture for service, by Rev. Dr. Wallace, of Toronto, and the other upon the Junior Society ns the hope of the movement, by Rev. Dr. R. D. Grant, of Portland, Oregon. The afternoon session wns prefaced by a prnise service led by Rev. L. B. Thomns, of Colorado Springs, and the convention resolved itself into an open parliament at which systematic and proportionate giving wns discussed by a number of speakers. A feature of the great gathering was the attendance of nearly 600 young Baptist wheelmen from New York and Philadelphia, who rode from those cities to Baltimore on their wheels. Nearly 1,500 more wheelmen came from Virginia, West Virginia, and points in Maryland.

LIBERALS WIPED OUT.

Sustained Crushing Defeats in Recent British Elections. At the close of the polls throughout Groat Britain Wednesday the returns showed that 408 members, out of a totul of 050, had been elected. The results so far are decisive, and ull that shall occur hereafter will merely enlarge the proportions of tha liberal defeat. Of the members already chosen 296 are toriea und “unionists.” Only 112 members of all thades of the opposition have been elected. Of this number but 70 nre regular liberals of the Gladstone school. This Is not a mere revolution. The liberal party is wiped out. It is not possible that out of the 240 or 250 members yet to be elected that party will secure enough tp make a formidable opposition to any measure which the tory government may propose. It is probable that the Irish party of all factions will haTe at least half as many members as the liberal party, count-

ing those distinctly, so classed. - This Is all that is left of the splendid, aggressive, jubilating, disciplined and formidable host of voters that followed the grand old man time and again to victory. It disappeared when he abandoned its leadership. So far as this country is concerned, none of its interests will be affected by the triumph or. defeat of cither party in Great Britain. lrish-American sympathizers with the cause of home rule will regret its probable permanent defeat But there is no ground to suppose that any different future would have been before Ireland had the liberal party won. Home rale had been virtually buried as a party issue. The few questions at issue between the United States and Great Britain will not cause serious controversy and will be peacefully settled. There is no threatening question to cahse anxiety—nothing that will not be adjusted by quiet diplomacy.

DIE BEFORE TAKING OFFICE.

Five Members of the Fifty-fourth Congress Claimed by the Reaper. The Fifty-fourth Congress is but a few days more than four months old, and only seven, months have elapsed since the election of its members, and yet there have been seven casualties in the ranks of the House of Representatives chosen last November, five by death and two by resignatipn. Those who have died include, besides Representative Frederick Rcmann, whose funeral occurred Wednesday in the Eighth Illinois District, the following: Myron B. Wright (Rep.) of the Fifteenth Pennsylvania District, Nov. 13, 1894; James H. Codding elected to fill the vacancy. Philip S. Poet (Rep.) of the Tenth Illinois District, Jan. 6, 1895; place will be filled by George W. Prince. Andrew. J. Campbell (Rep.) of the Tenth New York District, Dec. 6, 1894. William Cogswell (Rep.), Sixth Massachusetts, May 22. Mr. Campbell was elected in Gen. Dan Sickles’ old district in New York, and his successor is likely to be a Democrat. In the other two cases there is no change expected in the political bias of the new representatives.

PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.

Notable Religions Gathering in Toronto—Objects of the Meeting. Religion and education, the supreme forces of moral and intellectual progress, were the themes discussed before the Pan-American Congress of Religion and Education, which assembled at Toronto. This congress may be considered as the legitimate fruitage of the great parliament of religions of 1893, which set in motion and gave powerful impetus to those forces which make for unity among the people of the earth. The object of the Pan-American congress is to bring all who are interested in the spread of the true gospel into a closer association, one with another, and into sympathetic relationship in all the great educational, philanthropic and reform movements of modern Christianity. The inaugural sessjon of the congress opened at the Horticultural Pavilion in the presence of several thousand citizens and delegates. On the platform, which was handsomely decorated, sat Lieut. Gov. Kirkpatrick, the Rev. S. G. Smith of St. Paul, President of the congress; Mayor Kennedy, and many other distinguished persons. The chair was occu-

pied by W. B. McMurrieh, QfC.. of the Joint Local Committee. Appropriate addresses of welcome were delivered by the Lieutenant Governor, Mayor Kennedy, and the Rev. Dr. Thomas, after which the President of the congress and several other noted delegates made suitable replies. The Rev. Dr. Samuel G. Smith, President of the congress, returning thanks for the generous welcome Rendered them, referred in graceful terms to the way in which the British and American flags were intertwined in the decorations, and amid applause expressed his hope that not until the crack of doom would the two be rent asunder. The Rev. Father Ryan of Toronto delivered a short and able speech. Archbishop Walsh had commissioned him to express his welcome and tender, the hospitality of St. Michaels' palace to the delegates. Mrs. Charles Henrotin, of Chicago, President of the Federation of Women’s Clubs of America, then addressed the meeting. Kubbi Elzas spokeHm behalf of the Jewish delegates. The Rev. Dr. 11. W. Bennett, Akron, Ohio, spoke briefly. Mrs. Lydia von Finkelstein-Mount-ford, a native of Jerusalem, closed the speaking. At the evening session C. C. Bonney was the first speaker, his topic being “The New Movement for the Unity and reace of the World.”

Pingree’s Potato Patches. Detroit now has 1,386 farmers, each of whom has been donated one-third of an acre in which'to plant potatoes, beans, turnips and squash. All the plats thrown into one piece would make a farm of over 500 acres. There are still over forty acres to be assigned and donations of land are being made daily. Each farmer Is given two and a half bushels of seed potatoes and two quarts of beans to plant, which will cover about two-thirds of the lots. Later they will be provided with turnip and squash seeds. At the end of the season each lotholder will be required to report the amount of his crop, so It may be ascertained accurately the profit of the scheme. Holders of lots Hill be required to take turns watching the patches of ground in which their lots are located to keep away cattle and prevent destruction of the crops in any way.

He Will Not Drown Himself.

XFiutn the T., Timet.) ■ R. W. Edwards, of Lansingburgh, was prostrated by sunstroke during the war and it has entailed on him peculiar mid serious consequences. At present writing Mr. E. is a prominent officer of Post Lyon, G. A. R„ Cohoes, and a past aid de camp on the staff of the commander-in-chief of Albany County. In the interview with a reporter he said: “1 was wounded and sent to the hospital at Winchester. They sent me, together with others, to Washington—a ride of about 100 miles. Haying no room in the box cars we were placed face up on the bottom of flat cars. The snn beat down upon our unprotected heads. When 1 reached Washington I was insensible and was unconscious for ten days while in the hospital. An abscess gathered in my ear and broke; it has been gathering and breaking ever since. The result of this 100 mile ride and sunstroke was heart disease, nervous prostration, insomnia and rheumatism; a completely shattered system which gave me no rest night or day. As a Mast resort I took some Pink Pills and they helped me to a wonderful degree. My rheumatism is gone, my heart failure, dyspepsia and constipation are about gone and the abscess in my ear has stopped discharging and my head feels as clear as a bell, when before it felt as though it would burst and my once shattered nervous system is now nearly sound. Look at those fingers,” Mr. Edwards said, “do they look as if there was any rheumatism there?” He moved his fingers rapidly and freely and strode about the room like a young boy. “A year ago those fingers were gnarled at the joints and so stiff that I could not hold a pod. My knees would swell up and I could not straighten my leg out. My joints would squeak when I moved them. That is the living truth.

“When I came to think that I was going to be crippled with rheumatism, together with the rest of my ailments, I tell you life seemed not worth living.—l suffered from despondency. I cannot begin to tell you,” said Mr. Edwards, a 3 he drew n long breath, “what my feeling is at present. I think if you lifted ten years right off my life and' left me prime and vigorous at 47 I could feel no better. I was an old man and could only drag myself painfully about the house. Now I can walk off Without any trouble. That in itself,” continued Mr. Edwards, “would be sufficient to give me cause for rejoicing, but when you come to consider that I am no longer what you might call nervous and that my heart is apparently nearly healthy and that I can sleep nights you may realise why I may appear to speak in extravagant praise of Pink Pills. These pills quiet my nerves, take that awful pressure from my head and at.the same time t-uncli rny blood. There seemed to be no circulation in my lower limbs a year ago, my legs being cold and clammy at times. Now the circulation there is as full and as brisk as at any other part of mv body. I used to be so lightheaded and dizzy from my nervous disorder that I frequently fell while crossing the floor of my house. Spring is ceming, and I never felt better in my life, and I am looking forward to a busy season of work.”

Highestof all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report ABSOLUTELY PURE

Many of the current cures for earache advise the dropping of various substances Into the ear. One of the best specialists of the day pronounces this “usually an nnadvisable procedure,” and in the place of such remedies, prefers the application of warmth to the region of the ear, either by dry heat In the form of heated flannel, cotton wool, bags of hops, bran or meal, or by cloths wrung out of hot water, steam, or poultices of flaxseed or roasted onions. Cotton should not habitually be worn wedged Into the ear, for the reason that the air passage is thus closed, causing the secretions of the ear to flow more slowly or very little, and thus causing an unnatural and disagreeable and perhaps injurious dryness. As, however, many cases of aente aural trouble have resulted from bathing, and especially from diving and plunging In salt water, It is a wise precaution to plug the ears with cotton at such times.
