BUbop Ttaobarn tar lh United SUtM, Gtrmaay aad Kozland Ara to Uw (k World Poweri or th Vntur Tha World's f ro An address delivered in Chicago a few days ago by Bishop James M. Thorburn, of the Methodist Episcopal church, who has for years been at the head of that church in India, has at tracted considerable attention and aroused much discussion ia religious and other circles. The bishop rules the destinies of thousands of Methodists in southern Asia. His acquaintance with European and Asiatic politics is thor ough and far-reaching and this gives weight to his momentous statements. The prelate predicted that astonishing changes in the map of the world were impending. New empires, he said, would arise, and there would be such alterations of old lines that the geog- BISHOP JAMES M. THOBURN. raphies of today will be laughed at a few years hence. Germany, England, and the United States are to be the great world powers. Tho World' Progri. "During the 40 years that 1 have been in India many things have hap pened," said the bULap. "Tlie world has progressed and the serfs have been emancipated, Italy set free, Louis Na poleon and his system overthrown, Germany consolidated, and, what is unobserved by most people, a new na tion has arisen In the world Austra lia. In Asia the church has advanced the cross and the crescent has retreated and there are now thousands of Chris tian converts who were once Moham medans. I thank God evcry time I hear of Russia annexing more of Asia. But there is a new power entering Asia, and hardly anybody seems to no tice it Many significant things will result from what has just passed be tween Emperor William and his uncle, Edward VII. of England. Before many years the old Austrian emperor will die. The old second-rate empire will then fall to pieces, and what will be more natural than that Germany should possess the part of It which now borders on the Adriatic? Ths German empire will then be continu ous from the North Sea to the Mediter ranean. Germany has already built railroads in Asia Minor between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers European governments do ' not build railroads unless they intend to secure possession. Omt Umpire of tho Fularr. "The time of great empires is com ing. There will be the United States of North America and the United States of South America. There will be the United States of Europe, th FufMsn Republic, the empire of China, the em pire of the Indies, the German empire, and, last of all, a mighty republic In the island of Australia. "When peace is restored the Chinese will embrace Christianity as no nation ever did before. The millions In that walled empire will pour out into Bor neo, Africa and perhaps South Amer ica. They will not bother the United States, for the Chinese like tropical climates. In Borneo, with its 200,000 square miles of land and only 1,500,000 inhabitants, there will be ample room. Tbe population of that island is also kept down by tbe custom of compell ing each man before being eligible for marriage to kill some person and se cure a polished skull for bis bride's parlor ornament." Edgar Saltus, the great journalist who has circled the globe many times, and who Is an authority on political conditions In (-very country, laughs at Bishop Thoburn's prophesy. He says: "Tbe bishop is a great man from a re ligious point of View, but he is out of bis element when he talks world pol itic. Hit prejudice will not permit him to see that Russia will within the neit fifty years absorb all of Europe, Ail and Africa, and that Great Brit ain, Germany and France will become parts of the dominions of tbe Musco vites'. So far as bis reference to this side of the world and to Australia are concerned he Is correct. Australia will become the British empire of the fu ture, while Albion, Kriu, Scotia an1 Cambria will settle down to Russian Vassalage." KW Kd wrd Til's Orwal Eiaplr.

Recent dispatches contained an ac count of a sensational occurrence in the district court at Watertowa, S. D. In the trial of a divorce case one of the attorneys. George W. Case, tald something offensive to Judge Julian Bennett, who sat on the bench. Tbc-r-upon Judge Bennett responded hotly and Mr. Case said: "Judge B?nnett, you can address me in that manner from the bench, but were not court in session I would not tolerate such a statement from you." Springing to his feet. Judge Bennett exclaimed: "This court is adjourned!" and with tint knocked Mr. Case down with a blow in the face. And the story is doubly interesting as showing how history will repeat it self, though we regard tho Kansas in cident which we are about to relate as the funnier of the two. In 1SG8, the famous Judge Joyce was a justice of the peace In Hays City, and, as the only judicial officer In the region, ad ministered the law with an autocratic hand. In the town there were two law yers, only one of whom has to do with this story. His name was Ryan, and some months before he and JudgJ Joyce had quarreled, with the result of Ryan being disbarred from practice on the ground that he had been a Con federate soldier whose disabilities had never been removed. Of course the fact of Ryan's being a Confederate sol dier was not cause for his disbarment, and, anyway, Joyce had no right to disbar him, but everything went in the west in those days, and for some months Ryan had to stay out of court. However, after Joyce had consldmd his enemy sufficiently punished he seat word to him that he could come into court. The nest case 'vhlch came up for trial was against a fellow who had stolen a cow, and he engaged Ryan to defend him. In due course the prose cution made its case a good one, by the way, but while the witnesses were be ting examined Ryan sat with his hat punea aowu over nis eyes, sayiug never a word. At last, when the guilt of the prisoner had been established beyond all doubt, the prosecution rested, and, turning to Ryan, Judje Joyce said: "The defense can now take tho stand." "What the h l's the use? A man can't get Justice In this court," re sponded Ryan. "Misther Constable, adjoorn the court!" shouted Joyce, springing to his feet. "Come outside, yc monkey faced hellion, an' I'll givo ye Justice!" And whereupon everybody ad journed to the outside, where Joyce and Ryan went at. It hammer and tongs, with the result that Joyce re ceived a beautiful licking. Latsr, when the blood had been washed oft and considerable red liquor washed down, Joyce reconvened the court and sol emnly gave judgment for the defend ant. "But, here!" shouted the lawyer for the prosecution. "Wo proved that man guilty and he ought to be sentenced." "Will ye hould yer yawp?" sternly responded his honor. "The court flndJ itself reversed an' Misther Ryan wins on appeal." COUNTESS DE GREY. The death of Queen Victoria and the consequent accession of the former Princess of Wales to tho p'ace of firet lady in the kingdom will have the effect of restoring one of tho beautiful women of England to the place at court which she forfeited recently for a singular reason. It Is only a few months ago that the Countess dc Grey, who had been one of the most popular women at court functions, was in formed that her presence at drawing rooms, balls and other social affairs was no longer tolerable, because shs had opened an afternoon tea resort. Her purpose In Indulging In trade was to render herself financially Indepen dent of her husband and his parents, who had grown weary of paying htr debts. Commendable as this scheme was. It conflicted with the queen's strict rule that titled women who era bark In trade should be subject to os tracism from court It is confidently predicted now, hor cver, that Lady de Grey wtil not only COUNTESS DB GREY, return to. court under Queen Alexan dra, with whom she ha been on term cf affection end Intimacy for many years, but that she will be one of It most prominent member, and that sho will become lady of the bed chamber to the new queen. She I on of thi most vlractou women ia England' highest circle. A patron of music, ihi I known to bar paid tbe da Rrttka 11,000 per hour each for appearing at her afternoon musical.

The Welcome Smile The thing that goes the farthest toward making Ufa worth while, That costs the least and does the most is just a pleasant smile. The smile that bubbles from a heart that loves its fel low men. Will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the sun again, Is full of worth and goodness, tco, with manly kindness blent It's worth a million dollars and it doesn't cost a cent. There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile It always has the same good look it's never out of style It nerves us on to try again, when failures make us blue ; The dimples of encouragement an good for me and you. . It pays a higher interest, for it is merely lent It's worth a million dollars and it doesn't cost a cent. A smile comes very easy you can wrinkle up with cheer A hundred times before you can squeeze out a soggy tear. It ripples out, moreover, to the heart-strings that will tug, And always leaves an echo that is very like a hug. So, smile away. Folks understand what" by a smile is meant. It's worth a million dollars and it doesn't cost a cent. Harriet S. Damon. Churches With Big Incomes I ,LIC,0N- The one church In America which has the largest annual Income and ex penditure is unquestionably St. Bar tholomew's Episcopal, ef New York, its Income last year that is, the money value which it repres3nts was $208,000. This ia not an exceptional year and docs not Include a big gift of 200,000 made this year for its clin ic now building. Its pew rentals alone amount to above $30,000 a year. The sum named includes what it gives to missions, and also the expenditure connected with lis great parish house in Forty-second street. A dozen other Episcopal churches in New York and Philadelphia have Income3 exceeding $100,000 a year. The Presbyterian church having the largest Income In America, is the Brick church, New YorK, which took in $ll,ouo iast year, a good deal more than half of which went to missions. Tho largest Baptist church In America is the Fifth Ave nue, New York, to which John D. Rockefeller belongs, and through which hi gifts, or most of them, go. The church Is, apart from tbe Rocko- Con Read Mens Brains Miss Maud Lancaster, an English woman has gained fame as a telepa tblst In London and eastern cities. She asserts that telepathy is a science, and defies the contrary to be shown by inviting to small private receptions, in which she gives Illustration of her power, scientists, students, newspaper men, police officials, and all other pos sible doubters and scoffers who wish to come. There she gives Illustrations of ber feat in telepathy and defies tbe closest of these observant and In quisitive persons to say that the won derful things she does are unreal.

While Congre gational benevolent societies have larger Incomes than any other, propor tionate to the membership of the de nomination, individual churches do not run as high in expenditures as do churches In other religious bodies. The most expenblvo church may be either the Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, or tho Old South, Boston. Their totals run about $45,000, and this includes only not local expenses, but also mis sion and other gifts. Tho Methodist church having the largest annual income Is the Madison Avenue, New York, although there are several others in that city having ln comesi almost as great. Tbe Madison Avenue's total amount raised was $39, H4 last year.
