When a Pennsylvania married man

jpainfully numerous in all parts of the

No one could have more clearly or
epeciflcally shown the deplorable condi

cooled and in September he wrote her
that their relations were at an end. She
remonstrated, but to no purpose, and
now she lias suod him for $5,000. Queer,
Isn't it, how some love affairs turn out?
In New York there are cooking

Everybody knows that the Illustrious
divine, who made the Brooklyn Taber
nacle famous throughout the world, ha3
recently been called to a pastorato In
Washington. His church is the First
Presbyterian church of that city, and
wane in
former
years a
very prom
inent insti
tution, it
latterly
had . been
favored
with but
small audi-
fc Tw ences. oom-
JT nosed prin
cipally of
men and
women who
rem alned
loyal to the old church., even
though now surrounded largely by
business houses, A marvelous change,
however, has suddenly come over thi3
time-honored landmark, and to-day tho
First Presbyterian church of Washing
ton, owing to the wondrous eloquence of
its newly Installed pastor, is every Sun
day besieged by multitudes, many of
whom stand there frequently hours in
advance of the opening of the service
in hopes of being able to wedge their
way in somehow or other, and to listen
to the matchless eloquence of Ameri
ca's foremost pulpit orator.
People all over tho country are won
dering whether Dr. Talmage, In mov
ing to the National Capital, and in ex
changing his Brooklyn residence for a
house in Washington, has actually di
vorced himself from all connection with
the east. Dr. Talmage was recently in
terviewed on this subject by a reporter
of this paper, and tho reverend gentle
man said that as long as his editorial
chair had two legs in New York and
two legs in Washington he could never
be considered as having severed all his
connections with the metropolis. "The
Christian Herald," he said, "with its
wide circulation, is a tremendous power
for good," and as long as the Lord gave
him health and strength he would write
for that paperIn fact, bo would be In
his editorial chair at the Bible House
more frequently now than ever. Con
tinuing, the genial preacher said:
"There Is no paper in America that
wields a more potential influence for
good than The Christian Herald, with a
circulation of nearly two hundred thou
sand copies weekly. Nothing but death
shall separate me from it. Dr. Klopsch,
its proprietor, is a man of extraordinary
enterprise. This yenr besides printing
The Christian Herald every week in
beautiful colors, a veritable enchant
ment for tho eye, ho olfers as a premium
a complete library, consisting of ten
splendid volumes, full of Interest and
full of entertainment, with an elegauc
bookcase, delivered free of all expense,
together with the paper Itself, fifty-two
times, for tho moderate sum of $3.
Hereafter let no home in America bo
without a library.
I asked Dr. Talmage whether he could
recommend the library to pcoplo who
contemplated securing it, and ho said
unhesitatingly, "I know every book.
They were carefully and thoughtfully
prepared, either specially written or
compiled by most eminent literary men,
and there Is not a weakling among
them."
"How are the people to secure this
great library, and this wonderful paper
of yours?"
"Simply by sending $3 to The Chris
tian Herald at 888 to 895 Bible House.
New York City, and by return mall they
will be delighted with the result. Ever
since my boyhood, I've had a passion
for books; I love them still couldn't
,live unless surrounded by them. So
I'm something of a judge of good litera
ture. And in my whole life I have never
eeen a better selection in small compass
than these ten books which Dr. Klopsch
has had prepared for his subscribers.
It's a perfc-t library of information,
entertainment and amusement, and is
the climax of the wonderfully enter
prising and far-seeing management
that has placed The Christian Herald
ahead of ull competitors as a Christian
home journal. Do you know," con
tinned Dr. Talmage, "that this paper
has In lens than six years expended
nearly JTOO.OOO In various beneficence
at home and abroad?"
Just then Miss Talmage came In to
call her distinguished father to dinner,
and the Interview ended.

Tlie Car'H Wa.nhip Kalil to bu Itrady
for Imirediate Action.
COXSTAMINOI'I.K, Dec. 0. During
the past twenty-four hours there have
been frequent cabinet councils at the
palace and several exchanges of com
munications with tho representatives
of the powers, but no decision seems
to have been arrived at by the porte
on the subject of the firmans demand
ed by the powers for the passage of
extra ' guardships through the Dar
danelles. The dilatory policy of tho
palace people Is continued, apparently
ill the hope that some hitch .will occur
which may put an end to tho accord
of the powers. .
. The ambassadors do not attempt to
deny that t lie accord of Kurope is lia
ble, to . bo disturbed at-any; moment
and it is to attain this that the Turk hi
working assiduously, night and: day,
with all tho skill and subtleness of
Hasten) diplomacy, irritating rumors
about the "real., desigus"- of Great
liritian are taken to the Itussiaii' em
bassy by tho agents of . t he' porte nnd
annoying insinuations concerning tho
"ultimate aims" of Ilussia tlnd their
way, through the porte's agents, into
tho British embassy., -In turn, the
French' ambassador hears, sly reports
about the doings of the German amr
bassador, and vice vcrjsa.
Ko the game continues, with tho
Turk still, ahead In spite of the efforts
of an apparently, united F.nrope. .
'J'lnj ambassadors have not i lied the
Kultan that another chiingo of minis
try would in no way alter tin; deter
mination of the powers to. tako aoy
action they may think advisable. All
of the Turkish ministers ore guarded
and all are in fear of their lives, not
only dreading assassination at the
hands of the Armenians, but standing
in Trent apprehension of being sum
marily dealt with by the Sultan, who
is known to be irritated beyond, uny
previous degree at everything and
everybody.
There are more rumors than usual
in circulation to-day regarding the
massing of Russian troops on the
Turkish frontier and the gathering of
a Russian fleet near the Rospkorus.
Indeed, it has been reported that sev
eral war vessels have been sighted ofi:
the Black sea coast of Turkey and no
body would be surprised to see Rus
sia's extra guardsliip htcam into the
Bosphorns at about tho same time that
Great Britain's extra gunboat passes
the Dardanelles,
United States Minister Ten-ell has
received a note from tho porte that
new and more rigorous orders had
been sent to the Turkish officials in
the disturbed districts to tako every
precaution necessary to protect all
foreigners and their property and as
suring him of the safety of the Ameri
can missionaries nt t'acsare.
A , dispatch received here to-day
from Ma rash says that the American
missionaries there (the Rev. and Mrs.
Lucius O. Lee, Miss Harriet A. Lovell,
Mrs. Etta D. Mardcn and Miss Meda
Hess) 'are safe and confirms the story
that the mission buildings were at
tacked by the Turkish troops.
Tho situation at Bitlis causes re
newed anxiety among . the ''mission
aries, as many alarming . reports of
rioting and bloodshed aro in circula
tion. Efforts are being made to ob

REED'S CONTEST PROJECT
Two Committees Talked of lo I'uoli trie
Case Through.
Washington, Doc. ('..Speaker Reed
is considering a plan to divide the
work on contested election cases by
forming two election committees iu
the House. This plan, if adopted,
would greutly facilitate the work ol
disposing of the contests lie fore, the
House and would give to the contest
ants who may be found to be entitled
to seats for which others now hold
certificates their rights sooner than
they might obtain them otherwise.
. There are thirty-two cor.lp.sts on
hand, and they will furnish much
worl for one cimunitU-e. The bti.si
ness of tiiis committee corresponds
largely to that of a court, as il dears
nil the evidence in every ease and then
votes upon It and reports to t lie Mouse.
It is said that the iies ion (if econ
omy counts with Mr Ueed in tiie mat

The general opinion among the

SPEAKS OUT FOR CU3A.
Senator Call of Florida Argnc for Keiiel
lleroBultlon.
Washington, Dee. 6. When tho
Senate met to-day Mr. Mills of Texas
introduced a bill for the coinage of the
silver in the treasury and Mr. Chan
dler of New Hampshire one for the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
131- to I when England. Germany and
France should pass similar laws.
I'etitions from Florida for tho recog
nition of Cuba and from the Legisla
ture of Montana against further issues
of bonds were presented.
A resolution offered by Mr. Call of
Florida was adopted calling upon the
Secretary of State for the correspond
ence relating to the case of General
Sanguilly, an American citizen, sen
tenced to life imprisonment for alleged
complicity In the Cuban revolution.
Mr. Gallingerof New Hampshire in
troduced a resolution declaring that it
was the sense of the Senate that it
was unwise and inexpedient to retire
the greenbacks.
Mr. Call then addressed the Senate
In advocacy of his resolution for the
recognition of the belligerency of the
Cuban insurgents, and for strict neu
trality by the United States in tho
war. .
Mr. Call drew a graphic picture of
the ruin, mlsgovernment and barbcr
oiis cruelty against which the Cubans
were contending. . He described the
former revolutions and declared that
the progress against tyranny made by
the native Cubans Who maintained
that just government must derive its
authority froin. the consent of the
governed, entitled them to recognition
as belligerents and the neutrality of
other nations. Ho, considered it an
outrage that the L'nited States should
not hold out an encouraging hand to
those who , were struggling for. inde
deuce. Rut, instead of speeding
tho Cubans on their course, he
insisted that. this government
was actually retarding the revolution,
was in fact furnishing aid to the Span
ish tyrant. "This government." he
said, emphatically, "is responsible for
many of the outrages that have been
committed. I do not mean to say that
tho president and his cabinet ure re
sponsible, but the attitude of this gov
ernment negatively, by not recogniz
ing the revolutionists as belligerents
in our ports and territory, is maintain
ing to day tho power of Spain on the
islaud of Cuba." . ,
In conclusion, Mr. Call described
Cuba as the queen of the Antilles, the
future center of a confederated repub
lic, that would include all the islands
of the West Indies, and called upon
the committee on foreign a flairs to
consider his resolution in the spirit of
l'nited States forefathers and report
it favorably at an early day. ' ".
Then at "1:30 the Senate went Into
executive session and after continuing
ex-Senator Matt W. Ransom as minis
ter to Mexico adjourned until Monday.

Chandler, l'ettigrew, Gear and l'ritch
ard. The committee was confirmed
by the caucus, which then adjourned
until the committee shall have select
ed the : committees, when it will bo
called together to take action upon its
arrangements. ...
The Democratic members also held
a caucus, there being twenty-six sen
ators present. The caucus decided

ris for president pro tern, iu case the

mittees for the purpose of reaching an

ANTARCTIC MYSTERIES.
A Region Where Slimmer Never Smile
and no Kxplorer (oe.
The Antarctic is a region of eternal
winter and unmelting snow, where
so far as is known not a single plant
finds life within the circle and where
never a living creature roams. The
zoologist is not drawn to tho south
ern circle as he is to the northern,
and yet the attractions for him are
great, because they have all the
charms of the unknown. It is be
lieved that only a few of the hardiest
birds build in a few of the sheltered
corners of the Antarctic, but who
knows?
Who can cay that deep within those
awful solitudes may not be revealed
the mystery of the life of the fur seal
when ho vanishes from the waters of
the North Pacific? Or that on soma
Antarctic continent or island may not
be found the priceless remnant of the
great auk tribe? We know not, at
any rate, what riches or poverty may
be there until wo go to see.. And no
body has yet gone to see beyond tho
fringe.,
It is a curious fact that no one has
ever wintercd within the Antarctic,
many as have been the expeditions
and ships' companies which, compul
sorily or voluntarily, have wintered
in the Arctic. . There has been do
need to do so for there has been no
possible goal beyond, such as India, -which
first led our mariners into tho
Arctic; no scientific- romance such as
has characterized the quest for the
northern pole.. .
' And yet another thing differenti
ntes the Arctic from tho Antarctic. Iii
the North there. isH-unless Dr.. Nausen
is grievioiisly mistaken a pole sur
rounded by water. In the South
there is a pole surrounded by land -a,
polar basin as opposed to a polar con
tinent. While the books and essays,
the theories and journals, which have
been published concerning the Arctic
region, would fill a library, a handful
ftf volumes contains all that has ever
been printodof records in the Anta.ru-.
THE PROFESSOR'S CHICKENS.

This may not be new, but it was
new to the report 'r. who overheard
it on a Hoston car, so it is likely
that jthere are others who have
never heard it The young man
who told it was evidently a collegian,
as was his companion:
"I heard a good, one on Professor
', of Andover." he said!
"What was it'." queried the other.
"Well, you know he was married
during the winter and went to house
keeping just outside the village. Last
spring he thought he would add a
few hens to his stock; he already had
adog. lie set a couple of hens, and
in time had two largo broods of
chickens. He was very proud of
them, but in a week or so the chickens
began to die. Me called in a neigh
bor to look at the chickens and offer
advice. They were certainly a pretty
scaly lot of chickens that tlie neigh
bor .viewed. They were skinny look
ing and apparently without ambition.
'"What did ycr feed them'.'" asked
the neighbor, after a brief survey.
"Teed them'.1' responded the pro
fessor, as though he didn't hear aright.
'Why, I don't feed them anything. I
thought the. old hens, had milk enough
for them. "
How They riot Skulls.
In one of his introductory lectures,
ina recent scinester.the late Professor
Hyrtl addressed his hearers as fol
lows: "Gentlemen, yon must g?t pos
session of skulls. Jt is impossible t
f-tudy anatomy unless yo'i have skulls.
Kach of you must titid means, nnv
means, to get a skull." On the fol
lowing morning be entered his audi
