TREATY IS RATIFIED.

THE SENATE VOTES TO ACCEPT AMENDED AGREEMENT. Hay-Patmcefote Isthmian Canal Pact Now Provides for the Abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, Made Fifty Years Ago. By a vote of 53 to 18 the Senate Thursday ratified the Has'-Pauncefote isthmian canal treaty. All amendments except those proposed by the foreign relations committee were , voted down. The two committee amendments, one abrogating all of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and the other refusing to invite other powers to “adhere” to this treaty, were adopted. Upon the final roll call six votes in excess of the number needed to ratify were cast for the convention. The fifty-five votes for the treaty were made up as follows: Forty-two Republicans, eleven Democrats, one Independent (Jones, Nev.), and one Fusion (Turner, Yyash.). In one sense the result is counted an administration victory. For a week the efforts of the friends of the treaty and of the President and State have been devoted to securing ratification without amendments so obnoxious as to compel the President to refuse to submit: the treaty to Great Britain. Administration Senators claim that after —slt~th*> —trtrnty-iras—not —been- ■serionslychanged by the Senate. The Davis amendment, .they claim, gives a power which the United States would in any event have exercised in case of great emergency. If the-national defense requires the closing of the canal to an enemy’s ships, these Senators argue that we should have exercised the power and the right to close it, as all treaties are abrogated by war. The failure of the Senate to secure to the United States the right’to erect permanent fortifications, it is claimed, leaves "Tie great principle off he treaty in forcer In like vein it is argued that the abrogation and no invitation to “adhere” amendments put in are of small consequence. On the toiler hand, Senators who favored an all-American canal claim They" have won a decided victory. The right to close the canal against an enemy’s ships is the principal thing they have been struggling for, and that they have secured. They have also abcogated the lemnants of the old compact and thus gained for the United States a free hand in Central America. Agafh, they derive satisfaction from the fact that the United States \s not now to go to other powers and ask their consent to the construction of an American waterway. Thus both sides appear to be reasonably well satisfied.

A YEAR OF DISASTER.

\v Aggregate of $1,000,000,000 Lost at f-ea During; 1900, Since the establishment of the hydrographic office at Washington there has been no record of maritime disasters so appalling as the one for the present year. The report for 1900, which will be issued by this office shortly after the close of the present year, will be a narrative of collisions, explosions, wrecks and, in fact, of all the dangers to which the men who go down to the sea in ships are exposed. It will show that almost 400 craft of every* description have been lost in the Atlantic ocean within a short space of twelve months, and that the damages will aggregate $1,000,000,000. The number of ocean steamers lost has been of course a source of great concern to ship owners. To the more thoughtful it means that within the next few years steps will be taken to secure greater safety to passengers and freight shippers. Nearly every steamer lost has been well equipped with machinery of the latest pattern and manned by a large crew, but although navigation hafs reached its present high state of development, it does not seem able to cope successfully with the mighty power of the elements. The terrible storms arising in the West Indies are strangely enough coming farther north every year, and these, their violence little abated by the long distance traversed, are greatly feared by sailors. Fogs, hidden rocks and collisions are other causes of this enormous destruction.

PULPIT AND PREACHER

The old St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church in Baltimore celebrated its golden jubilee recently. About 3,000 ministers took part in the consummation of the union of the Free and United Presbyterian churches of Scotland a few days ago. Trinity College, Washington, D. C., the first Catholic institution for the higher education of women, was recently dedicated with imposing ceremonies. Mr. S. M. Sayford has been appointed secretary of the New England Evangelistic Association, succeeding Mr. J. E. Gray, who had served for a long term of years. It is officially stated that the American board this year has not only paid its running expenses but has also paid the additional amount of $20,000, made necessary by the conditions in China and India, and has also reduced the debt of the board about SO,OOO. The Bishop of Liverpool has issued a new code of rules for confirmation. Lie desires that girls should refrain from the use of long pins in' as the presence of such pins frequently results in the bishop's fingers being lacerated during the ‘laying on of hands.” The Rev. Martin S. Howard has completed his thirty-second as pastor of the First Congregational Church nt Wilbraham, Mass. lie is 70 years old. During his pastorate he has preached more than 1,800 sermons, officiated at 350 funerals, and solemnized 117 marriages. The Rev. Ella Groeudyke, sister of the Ttev. Montgomery Groeudyke of Hartford City. Ind., has been sent to Sierra Leone, where the massacre of the missionaries occurred last year. She has already spent four years in Africa and will undertake to rebuild the destroyed missions.

The National Motto.

Our national motto, “E Pluribua Unum,” was suggested to John Adams by an Englishman, SiE John Prestwick. Adams communicated the Idea to the Secretary of, th,e Congress, Charles Thompson, who, on June 20, 1782, reported to Congress his design for a government seal; in it the Latin legend was to be borne, on a ribbon held in the beak of an eagle. The motto was in use on the Gentleman’s Magazine from 1730, and that may have suggested it to Sir John Prestwick.

A Revelation.

If there are doubting Thomases or Maidens fair, or those unfair, who fain would be fair, let them use Dr. T. Felix Gouraud’s Oriental Cream and prove the efficacy of what the proprietor has so long tried to impress on the minds of all, in nearly every part of the world. As a Skin Purifier and Beautifier it has no equal or rival. If the reader would prove the virtues of Oriental Cream, use it where a Scratch or slight Cut, or where a Black-head or Pimple is troubling you, then, you see its healing and purifying qualities—if it does its work well, then read the advertisement again for further testimony of its virtues, and by using Oriental Cream renew both Youth and Beauty. New Nov. 11th, 1887. Fred T. Hopkins, Esq.: I would like to know the price of One Dozen bottles of your Oriental Cream, as I use it and like it. Would like to get a supply to take on my tour, soon as possible. Answer and oblige, MRS. JAMES BROWN POTTER, Brevoort House, New York.

Not Easily Overcome.

All piano players knew what a refractory member the third finger is. It is impossible to raise it as high as the others can be raised. This is not because the finger is weak. If the muscles of your hand were laid bare you would find two tendons running to the first finger, while but one goes to the middle and one to the ring finger; but the one connected with the ring finger semts 'off two short tendons, which' do not seem to be of any special use. and cause piano students a vast amount of trouble. Not only do they only hold down the third finger, but they abridge the span of the hand. A way to overcome the difficulty by some easier means than by tong and assiduous practice has often been sought. Robert Schumann once fastened a coni through a pulley attached to the ceiling. He could elevate his finger lay- this means at will while playing his pieces, and would hold it back for a long time. His device was-not only unsuccessful in permanently loosening the th.irxl finger, but caused premature injury to the hand ti such an extent that he was obliged to give up piano playing. That the difficulty caused by the sujrerfiuous tendons may be overcome by persistent practice there can lie no doubt. Liszt, Rubenstein, Bulow, Tausig and hundreds of others attested this truth in their works. As to the policy of having these tendons cut by the surgeon’s knife, and thereby escape much hard work, we find that it is a moot question among pliysiieians.
