N tho Bible Hoti-w,
New York city,
there In preaching
now n man who
speaks like an
Englishman, anil
rwhoflo name Is Uov-
erly O. Klnnenr.
Tho Mibjcct of his
talks Ih the end of
tho world and, un
like most nlorm-
iels, his audiences consist of a lnrgo
number of both the faithful and un
faithful of the best clnoBcs in tho city.
They are attracted to him because of
Ills earnestness and tho convincing
truths of many of IiIh utterances. Theso
aro of a nort that you "can't get away
from," though mixed with some not
qulto convincing. His plan Is to go
from one city to another preaching
without money and without price. lis
wants to point out to the people tho
fuflltmcnt of all the prophecies, at the
closo of which the Millennium would
come. Unlike Moody, he does not tnke
up n collection. After the meeting
Dr. Klnnenr answers questions.
"Do not en,v I preach the end of tho
world, snld he, "that only makes peo
ple laugh, i preach the end of tho ago.
After that wo shall bo taken off this
continent nnd transported to another,
If wo arc believers. If unbelievers, wo
hall bo killed. Tho tlmo for this Is
now closo nt hand. I quotn a few, a
very few, of ninny authorities. Sir
Richard Proctor sayn: in about 1897
38 tho heat of tho sun will bo so enor
mously Increased by the Impact o! a
eomot as to destroy life upon this
earth.' sir J W. Dawson wrote: i
anticipate the destruction of the pros-
rin mum ot tilings on earth by con
flagration from tho teachings of
science. Moody declares tho church
s cold and formal. May Clod wako us
up! And I know of no better way to
"0 It than to Jiet tho church In lnnlrlnip.
for tho return of our Lord.' Dr. Prank
M.
Close, of Oakland, Cal., ex-presl-
dent
01 tho Tnennin Arailntn nf
Science, writes: 'Tho latu seismic dis
turbance, which extended over tho mid
dle and southern states, was one of the
preliminary throes of a great cata
clysm.' "These undoubted authorities show
that thu time Is near at hund. Wo
know that the end of the ago Is within
this generation, but whether tho pres
ent gencrntlon begnn In 1870 or 1871
we do not know. Thnt Is where chron
ology Is Hablo to err. But tho tlmo Is
near nnd we must bo watching for It.
"What will become of tho present
United States when tho end of tho
world comes? It will bo carried over
to England. McKlnley In to be tho Inst
President of the United States. Beforo
ho end of his term there will be a tor
rlblo European war. Nations arc
building war ships and getting ready
for it. More have been built within
tho past year than In tho world's on
tlro provlous history. This war occurs
within tho next three years; In it
comes tho end of tho age.
"It is not certain how tho end of tho
world will come. Ho may descond to
earth or He may take the faithful up
to hcavcu. That Is not revealed as yet.
If Ho descends to earth Ho will gathot
tho faithful together and cstnbllsh a
kingdom In Jerusnloin and thero rulo
His people 'with n rod of Iron,' as tho
scriptures say. If Ho decides to tako
ua all up to heaven. Ho will do so nnd
leave tho others here. Either way It
will bo tho Millennium.
"What Is tho Millennium? Tho Mil-
BEVERLY O. KINNEAR.
Ionnlum Is the reign of tho snluts of
God over tho nations. Much mlgfit bo
written on the Joy of persona who will
livo during tho Millennium, arising
from tho improved physical conditions
of the world. Tho cllmato of tho oarth
will not bo sovere, either from excess
ive cold or heaL Vlolont storms either
on land or sea will bo unknown, and
the whole aspect of creation will be
more beautiful. Tho animal world will
co longer have ferocious beasts, or any
creature to harm man or woman.
"What will become of Wall street?
That I can positively answer. Wall
street, three years from now, will be
In Jerusalem. But its work will be
over. Its usefulness will have boen
accomplished. Wall street is not a bad
Institution and it will bo saved It tho
men individually are all right.
"And our politicians? Now you get
right down to personalities. I could
pink out twenty good politicians and
twenty bad one. The bad ones will
be cast Into outer darkness and tho
good ones transported to Jerusalem,
where they can mix for a thousand
fear in the perfect reign of Christ, tho

and all signs say that the world will
come to an end March 29, 1899. But
It may bo September, 1001. That Is my
present belief. Thorc Is only a llttlo
dlffiirence. Ono la ourely right. And
the time In very near."
Among tho guides to a perfect chrls-
tlnnlty approved by Dr. Klnnoar, while
w.iltlng for the Millennium, aro theso
slmplo suggestions: "A sure euro for
scolding and tattling: Keen your
mouth shut nnd brentho through your

Tho girl's namo Is Ethel ailllnm nnd

This case has caused renewed exclte

at which place ho graduntutl In 1871.
During his furlough, after finishing at
tho military academy, ho accepted a
position as assistant engineer with the
Union Pacific Railroad Company, and
was employed on a branch of that lino
In tho Clear Creek Canon, where lie
took part In tho various surveys for
tho Colorado Central Railroad.
In November, 1872, ho went as aldo
with Gonoral Sherman to Europe, nnd
was with tho general during all of that
Journey, until tho party reached St.
Potorsburg. Leaving General Shorman
there, ho wont through Finland, Nor

Genornl Sherman, who came across
from St. Petersburg to Germany, at
Berlin. During this stay in Europe, ns
his father, General Grant, was thon
President of tho United States, Freder

abroad. On his return homo In July,
1873, young Grant Joined his reglinont

his son Frederick participated. Gen.
Grant resigned his commission lj the
wWP9
1 h
.h
army during the fall of 1881, and went
to paw York and entered Into aovoral
business enterprises.
In 1884-5 ho was with his father and
alfled In the preparation of the Per
sonal Memoirs, rendering all tho as
Blstanco ho could.
In 1887 ho was nominated by tho Re
publican party of New York for tho
position of secretnry of stato, but was
defeated by a plurality of about 17,000,
owing tr- a tlerectlon of tho Prohibi
tionists. Frederick Cook, a Gorman
browor, of Rochester, was elected. The
result, however, of Colonel Grant's
nomination was to bring about har
mony In the Republican pnrty and glvo
tno electoral voto of tbe state of Now
York In 1888 to Benjamin Harrison,
who nppalnted Colonel Grant United
States minister to Austria. As minis
ter to Austria, Colonel Grant had great
success olllclully with thnt government,
ana no nun Ills ranilly attained excep
tional social popularity, which gavo
him a position of great Influcnco there.
Among his most Important official acts,
It may bo mentioned that he prevailed
upon tho Austrian-Hungarian govern
ment to ndmlt American pork to their
market, and to rescind their ordlnanco
against tho American vine, and to
permit tho cstnbllshnicnt of a branch
of tho largest American lusurnnco com
pany In their territory. During his
tenure of this office as envoy to Austrln,
Color! Grant had to deal with the
questions which nrose constantly bo
causo of tho military laws of Austria
Hungary. Under these laws the Aus
trlans wcro arresting naturalized
Americans who had not performed
their military duty In Austria before
leaving, which waa contrary to tho
treaty of 1871. All of Colonel Grant's
arguments upon theso cases resulted
favorably to tho Americans, and, at
tho samo time, were not offensive to
tho Austrlnna. When Clovclnnd was
elected President, Colonel Grant sent
In his resignation as United States
minister to Austria Immediately, al
though ho was Informed that If he de
sired to remain nt his post he might do
so. Ho returned to America with his
family In July, 1893, and located In

Sir Isaac Pltmnn, tho Inventor of tho
system of ohorthand writing which
boars his name, was born ut Trow
bridge, Wilts, on January 4, 1813, and
recolved his education in that town. At
tho ago of twelve ho left school and
entered the olTlco of a cloth manufac
turer. After six years' of work as a
clothier's clork, ho was sent to he train

shorthand. entitled "Stenographic
Souudhand." appeared In 1837. nnd he

little quarto book, entitled, "Steno
graphic Soundhnnd," by Isaac Pitman.
On tho Issuo of tho second edlton, 1840,
It waa entitled "Phonography." In

WONDERFUL WATER SUPPLY.
A .Subterranean Itlver I hut I'lnw Toward
l,in Aii7i'lc.
Ill the San Fernnntlo nlley, ton or
eleven miles north of the city of Lod
Angeles, exists u water supply which
Is termed marvelous by those who have
examined It, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. In an alfalfa Held, oozlnsi
from the ground, come drop3 of pure,
fresh water, which, under development
and by collection, Increase within a
mile to a mighty stream, flowing 7,000,
000 gallons every twenty-four hours.
The water Is neither nrtoslnn nor
spring In character, say A. O. Booth.
tho lawyer, and J. Dalzcll Brown, the
banker, who recently visited tho local
ity. It bus long been a tradition In the
arid district ndjnceut to tho old San
Fernnntlo mission that a subterranean
stream flowed from the distant Slorra,
but It Is only recently thnt partial veri
fication haa been given to thlH local he
ller. Below a stratum of twenty feet
of light soil, says Mr. Booth, u mass of
very coarso gravel bearing water Is
found. Its depth is from flfty-soven
to sixty-five feet, and It rests upon u
hard, blue clay that holds the water.
For a mile a Hume has been construct
ed. This ditch Is six feet wldo nnd
four feet deep. Built through the coarse
gravel, the water percolates from all
sides Into the duct, nnd steadily In
creases In volume until the daily flow
Is claimed to bo 7.000,000 gallons. Thus
far the water has been conducted
through thirty-Inch pipe for a dlatnnce
of seven miles toward Los Angeles. At
some points upon the line It furnishes
water for irrigation. The ultimate in
tention of the owners Is to supply the
water solely for domestic purposes In
West Los Angeles, where they have
franchises for laying mains, and to the
soldiers' home of 2.000 Inmates at San
ta Monica, under contract with the
United Statca government. At present
much of tho water Is going to waste,
iib It cannot all be used. Some of It la
turned Into the river, but the supply
Is nt present u sourco of danger, owing
to its abundance.
The Free Homestead Hill.
Tho senate has passed what la known
ns the frco homestead bill. When the
Indian reservation comprising what Is
now known ns tho Territory of Okla
homa was thrown open to settlement,
lands were allotted to settlers under
tho provisions of the Homestead act,
save that payment was to be made for
the land at a small sum per acre, at the
end of five years. When that tlmo was
reached congress extended the date of
payment, and again at the end of the
second year. Then n bill was Intro
duced, waiving payment nltogothcr;
antlthlH passed tho house. When It
reached tho sennte It waa amended to
cover settlers under the homestead
lawn upon nil public lands acquired
prior to the passage of tho act fiom
Indian tribes; and In that form was
jiassed. Tho bill was opposed in tho
senate on tho ground that It was equiv
alent to a freo gift of about $33,000,000;
and that It would make a precedent for
the disposal of lands which might
hereafter bo acquired by tho govern
ment from Indian tribes. It was con
tended tho it Is not tho same thing to
glvo away lands Hk0 these, which had
been acquired by the government for
tho purpose of selling to settlers, anil
had been sold to them In good faith,
that it is to permit free sottlement up
on public lands, acquired for a differ
ent reason. But strong representa
tions were made of the distress of tho
settlers, and the fact that both tho
Republican and Domonratlc platforms
demanded such a measure.
An IrNh Grievance.
v Tho fact waa mentioned In tho Com.
Ukjnlon somo weeks ago that the Brit
ish Mnanclal Commission, appointed
for tho purposo of investigating tho
financial relations of Great Britain nnd
Ireland, had reported that Ireland had

port has occasioned a strong agitation
lu Ireland for a moro equltablo adjust

and tho effect of tho agltr 'on has boon

and classes, so that the unusual spec
