The Crucifixion of Christ— The World’s Greatest Tragedy.

W. V. Reed, of Chicago, delivered an able address on this subject in Rensselaer on Sunday morning. He spoke of the glories of Babylon under the rule of Nebuchadnezzer, of the victories of the Medes and Persians under the leadership of Cyrus, of the all conquering policy of Greece when Alexander carried his banners in triumph over many a well fought field, of the palmy days of ancient Rome when in the days of Julius Caesar her eagles formed the only invincible ensign of the Old World.

But a greater than these mighty chieftains was born in Bethlehem of Judea when the angels sang of “Peace on earth and good will to men.”

He recounted the wonderful story that shall never grow old until faith is swallowed up in victory—the story of she Babe in the Manger, whose life was sought by Herod, of the teacher by the wayside, on the sea shore, and on the hill tops. The story of Him who recognized the existence of sin and forgave the sinner, who recognized the existence of pain and healed the sufferer, who recognized the reality of death and raised the dead.

He showed that the cross was made by nailing a beam (called in Greek the stauros) across the trunk of a tree so that his arms were extended upon that while his feet were nailed to the trunk below it. He told of the sealing of the tomb and the rolling away of the stone by a power 1 mightier than that of the Caesars, told of the greeting of Mary to her risen Lord who afterwards was seen of five hundred of bis disciples at once. Told of bis ascension to Heaven and the prophecy of the angels that “This same Jesus shall so come, in like manner as ye have seen him go away.” He told of the victories of peace upon the dawning of that morning when earth shall wear her bridal robes and be wedded to the glories of

COMMUNICATION FROM THE ABSENT BEPUBLICAN EDITOR

, „ * A, Continued from Page

Aside from laying for “millionaires,” fishing is the great industry here, and half the population not only of Newport but of all the poast from Providence to Boston is engaged in that industry. About 1,000 barrels of fish are shipped from here to New York daily. . Last night I witnessed the marvelous performance of seeing twenty-five truck hands on the great boat Commonwealth load these barrels of fish. A gang plank probably 8 feet wide was laid from the wharf to the freight door of the boat. The fish barrels were in the depot and a circifit was established for the empty truck men coming from the boat and the truckmen carrying a barrel of fish to the boat. All ran at breakneck speed and the rumble of trucks is like the roar of thunder. There is no complaining, no shirking, each man must take his turn and keep up his lick, as the man with the loaded truck strikes the gang plank he gives a little jump and shoots into the boat like a ball from a rifle. The men with the empty trucks must pass the men with the loaded trucks on the gang plank and thfe former must avoid a collision. On the basis of 1,000 barrels of fish and 25 truck hands each man must load 40 barrels. There was not a moment of hesitation from the start to the finish, and it looked like a Marathorn race. Every man kept in the race and when all the fish were loaded the truck men were wet with pespiration. They were mostly foreigners and the biggest armed men

I have ever seen. I understand they receive about $45 per month and board for their work. They certainly earn every cent of it. The Commonwealth is one of the New York, New Haven & Hartford boats that runs between New York and Fall River, Mass. It is about 600 feet long and has 1,000 state rooms on it. Every man, woman and child in Rensselaer could get on it and almost all of them could find beds to sleep in. The fare from here to New York via water inside Long Island is $2.75, and with berth is $3.75. My son and I took it over from Fall River, Mass., to Newport, our railroad tickets being good on the boat. It was to us a very pleasant trip. Fall River is the greatest cotton products factory city in the world.

From here we go to Crown Point, N. Y., on Lake Champlain, where a brigade of New York infantry begins an encampment next Saturday. GEO. H. HEALEY.

Judge James S. Dodge Decides for Liquor.

Judge James S. Dodge, of the Elkhart circuit, has held the county option law of Indiana unconstitutional. William Fiedke was arrested for selling liquor without a license.-He kept open after June 23rd, three months after the local option election by which Elkhart coqnty was voted “dry.” State Senator Robert E. Proctor, head of the liquor forces in the past legislature, assisted by Lou W. Vail, argued that as the law was proclaimed November 20 it did not effect Fiedke, who obtained his license November 8. Robert Proctor contended that the county option law was unconstitutional in that the title of the law does not embrace the subject of the act; that the law is not uniform in application and operation throughout the state and that the duty of the legislature is illegally thrust on the people. The constitutionality of the law will be tested in the supreme court in a few days. The court recently announced that none of the local option cases would be acted upon until after the vacation term, which be-' gins today, Monday. At the close of the vacation it is expected that the court will take up the option cases.

Lewis says a dutchman and a rabbit never was knpwn to hitch very well on the cabbage deal. A. A. Rusk shipped 170 pounds of wool to Chicago Saturday.

Rensselaer Checker Club Makes Good at Hammond.

The Kentland Enterprise made a lusty crow over the victory of three of that town’s checker players when they came here last week, and defeated three of the home team. The Kentland players brought Bloom, for some time champion of Indiana, along wi|h them to help them to victory. When the Rensselaer team went to Hammond Saturday evening they took Bloom along and he made the lowest score of any of the Rensselaer team. The home team expects to go to Rentland soon and show that team what real checker playing is. ' The Rensselaer team consisting of Thomas, McFarland, Stephens, Hill and Bloom were given a royal time by the Hammond team. They were entertained at' the Hotel Carleton, where the game took place. To offset Bloom the Hammond team had secured Barnes, of Chicago, who was first in the Illinois state tournament. One hundred games were the contest, which lasted from 9 p. m. to 4 a. m., and the Rensselaer team won by nine points, the score stand*, ing, Rensselaer 54%; Hammond, 45%. The score was .as follows: Rensselaer: •t i ■■ Stephens, 13 points. M 117 Thomas, 12 points. Hill, 11 points. * McFarland, 9% points. Bloom, 9 points. Hammond: Turner, 9% points. Houser, 7% points. Meyer, 5% points. Barnett, 8% points. i Barnes, 14% points. The Rensselaer team has never been defeated in a real checker tournament and when they go to Kentland in two weeks they expect to keep up their record. Hammond will be here for a return game in a short time.
