visitors about the city, as they might wish. Each church •Iso had its emergency hospital, so "to speak. Arrangements had been made with near-by physicians so they anight be called in, and in some cases two or three trained nurses were engaged. The main auditorium was MechanJrs' Hall, with a •eating capacity of | »rer 10,000. Here the principal meetings were held, t) the r meetings were held in two immense tents on

Boston common and in different churches. Three choruses, comprising over 3,000 voices, selected from various singing so- i w-ties in Boston and vicinity, led the singing. The grandest feature of the week was the mass meeting on Boston common Saturday. This was Good CitSeeaship day, and at this open air gathcriag Gov. Greenhalge, Mayor Curtis, and Her. Donald McLaurin, D. D., of Detroit, were heard in patriotic discourses. I Rev. Samuel Francis Smith, author of! “America,” prepared an original poem fcr this occasion, and through the generosity of Miss Helen Gould, of New York, souvenir copies of “America” wore given to the delegates. The Endcavorers Searched in a body from Mechanics । BnHding to this big gathering, and they Kade a picturesque sight with their ban- j aers and flags flying. A feature of the convention were the | “sunrise” prayer meetings each day in several of the churches. The masses

could not hope to go to the Endeavorers' . meetings, so the Endeavorers went to the masses. In other words, companies of delegates, repres e n t i n g different States, held model prayer meetings in big factories, stores •a n d car stations during the noon hour. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed everywhere. In the market places,

abng the wharves, in lumber and coal yards the young Endeavorers penetrated, and they were welcomed wherever they went. At the hospitals some pathetic •cenes occurred, which were in striking watrast with the gayety and good cheer at other places. The street scenes were unique, with xsarching young people singing Sunday •cheol songs, crowds upon the electric <®rß waving their crimson and white -lags and the throngs of sightseers. , Three times during the first day Me-

chanics’ Hall hold an audience of 13,000, and a more interested audience, more beautiful decorations and greater unity of thought and purpose were never known on any public occasion. Long before the exercises began every foot of room where persons were allowed to stand was occupied. The great chorus sung lustily, the immense audience swelled the song, the noise of the great organ welled out grandly and led the singers and above all could be heard the silvery tones of the four cornets played by the Park sisters. The Rev. Francis E. Clark presided nt the opening session, and devotional exercises were conducted by the Rev. Smith Baker, D. D., of East Boston, and 13,000 joined in reciting the Lord's prayer. 1 he Rev. A. S. Plumb, D. D., extended the greeting from the city pastors, and the welcome of the Boston 'OS committee was by the chairman, the Hon. Samuel B. Capen. The greeting extended to Gov. Grcenhalge which followed was inspiring in its enthusiasm. The thousands upon the floor, in the gallery and in the balcony sent forth cheer after cheer, while white handkerchiefs fluttered like a great cloud of doves. The Governor greeted the Endeavorers as brethren and sisters. Response to the address of welcome was made bj- the Rev. E. R. Dills, D. D., of San Francisco, in earnest and eloquent words. Dr. Henry O. McCook, of Philadelphia, next made a short but telling address. He said the letters “C. E.” had a new significance

for him this morning after what he had hoard. He felt now that they stood for not only Christian Endeavor, but also “country evangelized,” “cities emancipated” and “Christ enthroned.” Report of the General Secretary, The great audience listened attentively to the reading of the annual report of the i ; general secretary. J. AV. Baer, frequently I interrupting with applause. Secretary Baer said the total membership of the Christian Endeavor organization was now 2,473,740. In the United States the Presbyterians still lead, with 5,283 Young People’s societies and 2,269 Junior socie- ; ties; the Congregationalists have 3.990 Young People’s societies and 1,908 Jun- | j ior societies; the Disciples of Christ and | ! Christians, 2,687 Young People’s socie- • I ties and 862 Junior societies; the Bap- ■ tists, 2,680 Young People’s societies and | ! 180 Junior societies; Methodist Episco- I pals, 931 Young People’s societies and 391 Junior societies; Methodist Protcs- ; tants, 853 Young People’s societies and j j 247 Junior societies; Lutherans, 798 Young People's societies and 245 Junior societies; Cumberland Presbyterians. G 99 Young People's societies and 231 Junior societies, and so on through a long list. The Presbyterians held forth in the | I hall during the afternoon and the greatI est enthusiasm prevailed. The Kev. | I George B. Stewart, D. D., of Harrisburg. ’ ■ presided, and the speakers were William j M. Benham of Pittsburg, the Rev. James I T. Black of Boston, the Rev. Pleasant i Hunter of Minneapolis, J. Howard Breed of Philadelphia, Miss Elizabeth M. Wishard, the Rev. Thornton B. Penfield and Robert E. Speer of New York; the Rev. John B.

J. | Lane of Philadelphia. The evening meeting opened with a j j prayer and praise service conducted by : Secretary Baer. The annual address j was delivered by President Clark. He ' ; was frequently interrupted by the ap- | i plause, and on concluding the vast audi- ; i once rose and gave him an ovation long to be remembered, closing with the Chau- ; tauqua salute. After singing “Hallelu- ■ jah,” Evangelist Dwight L. Moody talked to the young people in a fatherly way. j So great was the crowd at Mechanics' ; j Hall that 10,000 were unable to gain admittance and a big open-air meeting was ' held in Huntington avenue, addressed by | President Clark and Mr. AVoolley. Thousands at Tent Endeavor. At Tent Endeavor on Boston common I the sound of fervent prayer was mingled ; with the strains of music wafted over | from Tent AVilliston and the hum of the I busy city’s trade. Not less than 10.000 j persons greeted Lieut. Gov. AVolcott j when he rose to welcome the delegates ' in behalf of the State of Massachusetts The Rev. AS’. 11.

speakers were the Rev. L. A. Crandall of Chicago, the Rev. Clarence A. Barbour of Rochester, the Rev. H. C. Mabie of Boston, the Rev. Henry L, Morehouse of New Y’ork and the Rev. Wayland Hoyt of Minneapolis. The speeches savored of patriotism and called forth great applause. The Rev. J. Z. Tyler of Cleveland presided at the evening praise

service, and following an address on “Washington, ’96,” by AV. IL Pennell, the annual address of President Clark was road by Prof. James D. Howe of Lexington, Va., and John G. Woolley of FRANCIS E.

The services were introduced by a season of song by the chords, -fn which the congregation joined wit hl splendid effect. The Rev. AVayland Hojj, D. D., of Minneapolis, presided in the m&Fning, wielding a gavel made from t^ee historic buildings of Boston—th^add South Meeting House, the old Atf4o House and Faneuil Hull. After thepiJtaing of the hymn of welcome Georgi^Y. Coleman of Boston delivered the we®^ f e of the committee of ’95. The Rev. S; r . Gumbart made the address of wel<^?ne for the city pastors, and Alpheus Sanford, chairman of the Board of Aidermen, in the absence of Mayor Curtis, greeted the Endeavorers.

Some of the strongest men in the different denominations spoke their best thoughts, and in several cases significant resolutions were adopted. The trustees’ meeting in the evening was devoted to hearing delegations from the Pacific slope, ami on the first ballot it was vote! to hold the convention iu 1597 in San Francisco. AVilliam Best, the most notorious resident of the Faint Lick of Kentucky, was shot and instantly killed in a quarrel by

Speed Nunn. The killing of Best wipes out the last of a family of outlaws who have been the terrors of the section for many years. Richard Allen was struck on the head by a heavy auger while cleaning out a well at Portland, Ind., and his skull fractured.

DEATH THEIR DOOM. thirteen pilgrims to st. ANNE'S SHRINE PERISH. Second Section of an Excursion Train Plows Into the First—Pullman Cars Telescoped—Wheat Drops Five Cents In Chicago-Cornell AVins. Was a Fatal Crash. At Craig s Road station, Quebec, a pilgrim excursion on the Grand Trunk road from Sherbrooke was being run in two ®^ c ljons. The first section stopped at Craig's Road to cross an uptrain, when the second section ran into it, the engine plowing through the Pullman and firstclass car. Thirteen persons were killed outright and over thirty hurt. Ten passenger cars and the engine were wrecked. The pilgrims were en route to the famous shrine of St. Anne de Baupre, where every summer large numbers of sick and crippled gather to invoke the saint to cure them of their diseases. The trains were made up of residents from Sherbrooke, Magog, AA’indsor Mills, and surrounding parishes. The forward train was making good time, having left Richmond at IO o’clock the night before. On the rear of this train was a Pullman, in which were the priests and others in charge of the party, and it was in this car that most of the loss of life occurred. The first train reached Craig’s Road, which is fourteen miles west of Levis, about 3 o’clock and stopped at the tank to take water. Precautions were taken and the semaphore thrown to danger against the following train. Only the trainmen were out nnd about, attending to their duties. The Pullman in the rear ■ was wrapped in silence and the sleepers were unaware of the terrible fate -hat was rushing upon them. Suddenly there was a great crash. The second train coming at full speed dashed into the rear Pullman of the first section. So great was the impetus of the colliding train that the engine embedded itself in the palace car. nnd the latter i lunged forward and partly telescoped the firstclass car immediately in front. Every berth in the Pullman was wreek”d ami some of the occupants who were Killed never knew what happened to 'hem. They | died sleeping. Others awoke to their horrible surroundings and position, maimed, bleeding, and bruised, conscious of little i else but the agony that racked them. The cries of the wounded and tho moans of the dying, and tho outpouring of passengers from cars that were not badly damaged, nnd the hurrying forms of the nninjured trainmen with their flickering lanterns, all combined to make a sight seldom exceeded in its horror. CORNELL THE WINNER. Sensational Result of the Long-Ex* pectcd International Boat Race. All tho flower of England’s nobility, society and college folk snw Cornell defeat tho crack English eight, the Lenudors, without rowing against them in the first day's race for tho Grand Challenge cup of the Henley regatta. Tho Leanders were not ready when the gun was fired and the Cifrin'lls started os er the ■ oursc ; । alone. The winners of the two other | ' races for the Grand Chnllenae cup were ‘

the Eton and Trinity eights. The Trinity crew beat the London crew by six lengths, while the Eton boys came across the finish line with a quarter of a length of clear water showing between its stern and the prow of the Thames boat. Every good American expected that Cornell would win. Every good American is sorry that it has won in form and manner as related by cable dispatches. Not that Cornell is to blame for the outcome; the American crew was vady to start when the umpire, a Briton, gave the word “Go;” the British .row did not start, and the Americans von without opposition. It is a barrm victory. Obviously, the Leander crew was in a state of poor discipline, for in answer to the umpire's question, “Ready?” one of its members said “Yes!” and Cornell hail got Undbr way in obdielliv to ;be < ‘ -up now is a ’rophy Th^K. n eU, but it is a trophy won by mis°f. Cl ture of the Leander orew, rather advefof conquest, ITe vxpec’ation was thankory for Cornell: its crew had made of ' i^pjnie than that of the Leander in Rowing trips over the course; its .» rowing was considered better by eompi dent judges. The best thing that can beMone is to row the race over again. The grand challenge cup is the .nest coveted of rowing prizes. It can be contested over only by amateurs who are members of a university, or of a public school affiliated to a university, or are members of her Majesty's army or navy. The cup is held by the winning crow until it is defeated by another. It was be- ] lieved in America that Cornell would capture the cup. It has captured it, but under existing circumstances it nay be well that it shall capture it again. PANIC IN THE PIT. Wheat Drops Fjve Cents a Bushel ’Mid Exciting Scenes. Tuesday was the most* nervous and exciting day the Chicago Board of Trade has seen since the farmers came into town some weeks ago and bought wheat up from 52 cents to 82% cents. Wheat declined 5 cents, and many an excited man chased his fortune to the brink of the wheat pit to see it sink out of sight. And these crazy bulls, says a Chicago dispatch, brought their grappling hooks in the shape of reported .damage to Northwest crops by hot winds, and threatening frosts, etc., and dragged the pit, but they couldn’t find their gold. Surely enough, it seemed te be a bottomless pit. The bulls were never in it at all. The bears ran the whole show from the start. kV heat opened up at G7 5-Bc, and in three |

or four minutes had sunk to GG^c. This was a great surprise to the bull element, which hoped for a firmer market. The bulls tried to talk, but were choked off. A week ago when the market was hanging fire they were somebody, for they could frighten the bears with a little telegram telling Low wheat was growing into the shock or something of that kind, but Tuesday morning their chinch 1 ugs were dead, their hot winds didn’t blow, and their frost melted. If the bulls were disappointed when the price of September went to GG^c they were doomed to greater disappointment later. They smiled when a little rally to GiA4c was made, but that market was only fooling them when it went up there, j It soon turned around and came down hill lickity-cut again, and sold down to 64 cents. But this wasn’t the bottom. Along toward the close of the session the price simply leaped over the Go's and closed at 62^c. In New Y’ork the speculative pyrotechnics at the Produce Exchange were dazzling to both the bulis and the bears in wheat, and both factions were equally astonished. A drop of 5 cents a bushel made the hair of the bulls stand on end and it made the bears blink. That makes 8 cents in two days. The bulls thought the course of prices altogether too much like tobogganing. The sudden tumble—the greatest in years—caused a great deal of excitement and interest in Milwaukee. The fact that wheat closed at G 2 5-8 cents represented a drop within twenty-four ! hours that was calculated to create almost a panic WEATHER AND CROP BULLETIN. Signal Service Report on Temperature and Crop Conditions. The official crop and weather bulletin j for the past week shows the average to be i three to six degrees cooler than the aver- : age throughout the Mississippi and Ohio A’alleys. Heavy rains have fallen in Oklahoma, Missouri and the northern portion of the Gulf region. Through the Southern States the average fall has been from one to two inches more than the usual amount. The lake ’egion and upper Mississippi A'alley had practically no rain. Nebraska and the Dakotas suffered materially from drouth. Corn has made very rapid growth during the week and. except in Milligan, the general outlook for this crop is excellent. Arkansas reports the largest crop in ; years, and in Kansas, Nebraska, lowa, | Illinois and Missouri the outlook is most promising. The general outlo >k for spring I wheat continues most flattering. AA’inter ! wheat harvest is practically completed | nnd thrashing continues general. Some ! damage in shock has been caused in Maryland by heavy rains; also in Missouri and I Kansas. Tobacco is growing well in Kenl tucky, but the crop is uneven. In Maryland it is in excellent condition and in Ohio it is improved, except in the central part of the State, where it is suffering from drouth. From the Central and Southwestern States the reports are as follows: Illinois —Last week very favorable except in southern counties; >vheat and rye thrashing general, yield light, quality poor; oats harvest completed in southern and progressing in central counties; straw short, yield light; corn growing finely nnd generally laid by; hayi ;g continues i with very light crop. Minnesota Ail lute sown crops and | grasses injured in south half by drouth 1 now intensifying nnd spreading; rainfall

in north half ample; haying general; barley, winter wh<*at ami rye harvest begun; corn growth good; wheat prospects continue excellent. South Dakota—Above normal temperature, high southerly winds, two exceedingly warm days ami only scattered showers, mostly light, have bo n injurious to small grain and grasses over a numof counties; corn grew rapidly and potatoes did well: rain needed generally. Nebraska—Cool, dry week; wheat and rye harvest has progressed rapidly in southern counties ami thrashing comma need, the yield is less than half a crop; oats ripening fast; corn has made good growtli ami is in line condition, some early planted teaseling. Kansas—Cool, cloudy week. ”7?’ CIV( ra instil' ~„,i injured grain in Tjith k. but Uns heen bent d i.ll to all other crops and furnished abundant stock watt r; corn generally tasseling and beginning to silk and never more promising; flax, fruit, pastures and potatoes fine. lowa —Weather favorable except serious need of rain in some eastern counties; oats harvest begun, with prospects of heavy yield; corn has made rapid advancement ami other crops are in satisfactory condition. Michigan—Showers over upper peninsula which were poorly distributed; in lower peninsula there has practically been no rain, and drouth continues with groat severity; hay and wheat very pyor crops, and oats will give a light yield; corn is just beginning to show effects of drouth; if rain comes soon it can yet help corn, po- ! tatoes, pastures and gardens. Ohio—Favorable for thrashing wheat and hay harvesting; light yields reported; corn, oats, late potatoes and tobacco have improved in growth from rains, except over middle section, where drouth retards growth; pasturage very poor, and water becoming scarce. Indiana —Warm, fair weather favorable to harvesting; end of week favorable to corn and potatoes, and both crops are in finecondition and growing rapidly; thrashing wheat and rye continues; yield better wheat and rye continues; yield better than expected in localities; haying continues; crop poor. 'Wisconsin—The past week has boon hot and dry; haying about half completed; rye and barley harvest in progress, and the crop is generally good; corn and potatoes unaffected by drouth, and growing rapidly; oats promise a good crop; pastures very poor. There is every reason to believe that if Howard Gould has promised to marry Miss Clemmons he will do it. That girl | is a protege of Buffalo Bilk

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. SERIOUS SUBJECTS CAREFULLY CONSIDERED. A Scholarly Exposition of the Lesson —Thoughts AVorthy of Calm Reflec-tion-Half an Hour’s Study of tho Scriptures—Time Well Spent. Lesson for July 21. Golden Text —“Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee.”—Lev. 19: 9. This lesson is found in Leviticus 10: 1-11, and is one on observed distinctions, and as such it is most timely. AA’e are in an age of indifferentism. Men say it makes no difference; the Lord will pass it by. (Jur fathers are looked back t.pon as straight-laced and over-strict. Eat. u.>nk and be merry is the prevalent cry of tho times. But such contempt for God s distinctions is not to be forever passed over. In the divine mind there is a difference put between holy and unholy, between clean ami unclean, and the race or the individual that survives must recognize the same. Lest a lew ami severe judgment befall us. let us profit by the experience of Nadab and Abihu. It is given for our instruction to-day. “Nadab and Abihu.” Evil, like goodness, often goes forth two by two. “Sons of Aaron. ' Priestly heredity does not insure priestly piety. They were sons of -Aaron in the flesh, but sons of Baal here in conilni-t. "Took either of them his , censer." They were doing iniquity with tho instruments and implements of‘^w*"w ness. How often are the vessels ol’ the Lord's house thus prostituted to base uses.’ “Strange fire before the Lord.” AA’hat mockery, what blasphemy! Confronting God with that which discrowns and denies him. Lhdatry is never so abominable as when it stands in the temple of God. But why should the people of the living God ever anywhere offer strange fire? “AA’hich lie commanded them not.” AA’as it positively forbidden or simply not commanded? In either ease it was sin, for they wore to do all things according to the pattern set in the nount. Ihe craze for new things in religion is not because of an absence of approved patterns; it is because the carnal heart is enmity. “There went out fire from the Lord." Fire answering 'ire. God answers us according to our offering. Insincority. faithlessness and disobedience receive as here his devouring flame. The pure heart is given the answering glow of an heavenly inspiration. God .-till answers by fire; rejoice with trembling. “And Aaron held his peace." He had nothing to say in answer to Moses’ word of judgment. Indeed was he not reaping here, in part, the fruit of his own misdeed? He had yielded, in the affair of the golden calf, a little to his idolatrous tendency; his sons had simply gone a few steps further. The fathers have >aten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge. "Bewail the burning which the Lord hath kindled." In our mourning we often dishonor God. Personal or filial regard was not to obscure the itrociotisness of the erime committed. How often in the presence of death has the minister been tempted to abate the strong denunciations of God against sin? “For the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you.” They were not their own. They were bought with a price. AA’hat was true particularly of the priests of old. is true now, in larger measure, of all the people of God. The oil of anointing lias touched us. AA e are God's. Let us direct our steps aini adjust our conduct accordingly, “Do not drink wine nor strong drink." Does it stand iu the way of the best exercise of the Christian graces or the best use of Chri.-tian talent? Then tho prohibition siill abides, and in its larger sweep taking in all who love and serve the 1.-. rd. The D mperanee principle has its strongest sometime among the children of the kingdom in that they belong Io the T.ord and are consecrated by the blood of the covenant to his service. “That ye may teach the chil Iron of Israel nil the statutes.” By example as well as by pie. ept. The life of a faithful minister of the gospel or of a faithful Sunday school teacher is a living epistle known and read of all men. The sermon and the le.-son go on preaehmg themselves in the life all the -vay through the week. And mind the little word, “all.” A single departure from the straight course may mar the whole. Let the tota’ tfaebing of the life emphasize an entire gospt 1. He who serves at the altar of the Lord must be holy. Not that one quality of riirhtness belongs to the minister and another to the people. “Be ye holy . „ , , .. n .Hike. this, the man '■ < -in,! Kiiio’cs the people —K-.mry stands in a loftv and conspicuous position, and sine- 1:1s < xample is followed by so many, i special burden of obligation and responsibility rests upon him. He needs to be constantly and continually on his guard, lest he say and do that which may lead the flock astray. "Like priest, like people;" hence the penalty that befalls the servant of the Lord, for defection is sometimes inflicted not for himself alone, but for the sake of all the people. Next Lesson —“Journeying to Canaan.” Num. 10: 29-36. Attractive Religion. Is your religion winsome? Does it charm and attract? Does it show itself in a pleasant face, a cheerful smile, gentle tones, courteous manners? Is it kindly and thoughtful foi the comfort of others, willing to serve, slow to push personal claims, quick tc sympathize and help? Or is it sour and hard, grim and frowning, dominated by petiy gosisp and jealousies, selfasserting and domineering—driving away more than it draws? Look into this matter. Carefully consider this question. See whether or not you are properly representing ('hrist. ?Jakc Up Your Mind. “If you could once make up your mind in tho fear of God never to undertake more work of any sort than you can carry on calmly, quietly, without Imrry or flurry, and the instant you feel yourself growing nervous and like one out of breath, would stop and take breath, you would find this simple, com-mon-sense rule doing for you what not prayers or tears could accomplish.”— Elizabeth I’rentlss.
