How limitVIII ft Ij.isi ?
The gambling houses closed sliortly after
daylight yesterday morning , and It Is stated
that it Is lor gooJ , but that this will prove
true Is by no means certain. The gamblers
themselves profoss.to bollovo that the clos
ing will bo permanent , but this is far from
being thnlr slnuora conviction. It seems to
tnako all the difference In the world who is
around nt the tlmo tlioy nro talking about It.
There is little doubt but that they will kccu
* hady for n while , nnd that moro attention
will bo paid to lochol doors and general
I , . ' , Becrccy when the games are again started ,
I * ' for it is almost n certainty that they will
attempt to start up nsmin on the ( | inet.
Tim boss gamblers have consultud with a
well known law linn , and wcro advised to
acquiesce to all demands madeby the citi
zens' committee that waited upon them nnd
Informed them Unit they must close. Acting
on that nJvieu they quietly closed up , ana
will await further developments. Said a
member of this laxv firm .Yesterday :
' The movement to close up the houses
won't amount to anything. Ihis committee
started out to close them up and they have
clone so without any trouble. 'J heir mission
Is accomplished , nnd as for their keeping
strung up to concert pitch to watch for
now oponincs don't you believe it.
I have been on earth soma time , aad have
Been this thing tried too many times to take
nny stock in the move. It will result in the
houses tunning less openly tlnin they hnvo
been doing , but that Is all. Say , como and
see mo in two or tliroo months , nnd toll mo
whether or not I nm any kind of a prophet. "
One of the gamblers was scon and ha ex
pressed himself na follows ; "It would huvo
been all right if tlio papers hadn't uiado so
much of It. Vou see , the folks who signed
their names to that petition would htivu soon
forgotten nil about it If It hadn't been that
their names wcro published , but now if the
houses are nllowoJ to run the
ones who didn't sign the peti
tion will glvo ttio others the laugh.
Oh , wht-n It comes right down to it , I don't
believe that gambling Is forever stopped in
the ttluffs. Thoto are too many sporting
people here. 'I hey want to play and they
will manage to do so. It isn't ' the homo
tradn by any means that keeps us going.
Wo would stiirvo if wo depended on that.
They couio in from outsldo nnd stay days at
n time. Sonic folks go crazy over horses or
dogs or guns , and others take to whiskey.
It is the Bomo way with these who want to
play faio bank. They are established here ,
BO to spool : , and It will bo hard to break it
up. Gambling Is only a misdemeanor here ,
while it is a fulony in Omaha , .vet frequent
raids on the other sldo don't amount to any
thing. Wo will have to bo moro careful
hereafter ; but this commlttco won't close us
up and dout.you lorcot it. "

Much interest centers in the appointments
to bo madj by the new city council , more es
pecially with reference to the next chief of
the ilro department. It Is certain that there
will bo n change nnd that C. D. Walters will
not bo retained ; In fact , ho announces that
ho Is not a candidate Tor rcappolmment.
Several rumors are current regarding al
leged caucuses of the newly elected mem
bers for the purpose of fixing up a "slate , "
but nothing definite Is known nbout what
has thus far been done. Certain it Is that
the ollleo of lire chief Is a very Important
one , and ono in the Idling of which
tlio greatest care should bo exercised.
U'hcn it is considered that millions of dollars
lars worth of property as well as countless
lives are constantly in his charge , it will bo
seen how much depends upon the keen per
ception , clear-headedness and intrepidity of
the man who is appointed to 1111 this posi
tion. The matter is one in which not only
the property owners but the insurance
agents as well are deeply interested.
A group of Insurance men were discussing
tlic situation last evening , and they wcro
considerably worried over the outlook. Sal d
one .if them : "It , seems rather strange tome
mo that none of thu newly elected
aldermen have been to sco any of
the Insurance men In the city
with reference to tills uppmntmcnt.
Wo certainly nro as deeply interested as nny-
enc an be , and heretofore wo have been ex
tended the courtesy of being consulted in
the matter , oven if our requests have not been
complied with. I believe that the opinion of
the insurance men and heaviest , property
owners , together with that of the best lire-
men In the department , ought to have some
weight. Wo dcsiro thu appointment of u
thoroughly capable chief , and the firemen
themselves nro surely able to judge of a
man's qualifications. I have always favored
the appointment of .1. L. Tomplcton , but
since ho has been elected to another oftlco. I
believe that a man recommended by him
would be a safe ono to appoint.
Ho has been chief of the department and
was in the old volunteer department for
years. The same may bo said of Pat Lacy ,
Charley Walters and several others. I
would far rattier trust to their opinion In
the matter than to an outsider who knows
nothing of the qualifications of any of the
aspirants. Wo must have n cool headed
chief or wo will huvo some disastrous llres.
If wo have an Inclllclent lire department up
will go insurance rates , nnd then the kicks
will como tumbling in. It is far uetter to
head these things off in advance , nnd I hops
tlio council will carefully consider all these
matters in malting tnclr selection. "

Ucv. S. F. Patterson , the noted ovnnco-
llst , who is conducting a series of revival
meetings at the Firs * . Uantist church , occu
pied the pulpit at that church agalnattho
morning hour yostcrduy and delivered n
very Interesting discourse upon the oppor
tunity and work of the Christian church.
His text was Matt. 21:25 : and John 0:1. : The
meetings are awakening u great deal of
interest , nnd the nttenduaco yesterday was
very large. The speaker described the cir
cumstances under which the words of the
text wcro uttered , nnd other instances when
Christ laid his injunction "to work" upon
the church. The disciples and other fol
lowers of our Lord to the number of 500 are
believed to hnvo been assembled in tno Gall-
lean mountains to view their risen Lord and
Master for the lust tlmo and receive their
commission when the inarching orders of the
church were given. The divine command
"Go ye Into nil the world and preach the gos
pel to every creature , " was not only delivered
to thu 500 on that occasion but was Intended
for nil Christians in all ages. Jeaus Cnrlst
said to his dlsiplus , % 'Yo shall bo witnesses
unto mo in Jerusalem and in all Judea , nnd
in Samarlii , and to thu uttermost parts of the
earth , " The extent and prosperity of the
Christian church today is the result of
Christian work. The Christian's work Is
not the philosophical work of the philan
thropist , nor thu work of a moralist. Much of
their work cannot endure. In St. Peters
burg there is a stupendous cathedral. It has
beautiful architecture and is grand in nil its
appointments , but these words ought to bo
inscribed deep In the heart of the rock of
that massive building : "Kusorvcd for lire. "
Men may build their massive monuments ,
but they will cruniulo. Into dust. The work
Unit will endure is the Christian's work.
It Is distinguished , from all other work us
n work of faith. History shows the rino nnd
fall of nations. The Jew gave place to the
barbarian ; the barbarian gnvo place to tlio
Persian ; the Persian to tno Greek , and the
Greek to thu Kouuui. Thus dynasty after
dynasty ha * been treading along. There
have bcon wars and distractions , but faith
rises above all theio and takes its stand with
God from eternity to eternity , nnd declares
"I will manifest Christ on thu earth. "
Thu aim of all Christian work Is to nave
sinner * . The church was Instituted for that
purpose nnu nil its labor should .point toward
that object. The principal object of our ox-
Istouco as Christians Is to bo instrumental In
saving mankind. Where the church fulls it
is bccauso it docs not reach the mass of the
people. Less Ihm. ono half of the pcoplo In
our cltlosaro not reached by tno church. Out
of 25.000 young men In Kt. Paul less than
1'J50 ura members of evangelical churches
nnd 1:0,000 : are non-church goers. The total
number attending church on a recent Sun
day was 1,450 , while on the preceding Satur
day oyonlug 8,500 entered cluht of the most
prominent saloons between 7 and 10 o'clock.
In Uuluth there are -15,000 people , and to my
personal kuowlodgo not to exceed 1,000
Christians. A largo proportion of the people
ple of those cities are practically outsldo the
reach of the churches , and what is true of
these- cities is true of all others. The
reasons of too failure of the churches to
roach the poopln'nro intense denominationalIsm -
Ism nnd n IncK of sympathy with the mastot
of the pcoplo , The masses are on thn out
side , and the strict adherence to the con
ventionalities nnd ; sovcro proprieties of the
church nay to thorn nt the church
door : "No admittance. " The Impres
sion 1s mndo that tlio church is a
place for respectable sinners with n clnjs
on. Suppose the Physician devoted his at
tention to ono or two cases in the hospital
when there is n multitude of sick without !
Any physician would full who carried tech
nicalities Into his practice , nnd so would any
business man. People will not listen to
technicalities ,
The laborers In the church are few. The
great want of today Is laborers for Christ.
While laborers are slccplntr In Indifference
multitudes nro perishing. The masses are
accessible. There never has been a time In
tbo history of Christianity when men would
not hear the gospel. Wncn people will lis
tan to the gospel the fields nro Hpo , Jesus
said "lift up your eyes nud boliohUfor the
Holds nro already white with harvest , " nnd
similarly when wo gaze upn the harvest
fields about us wo can BOO they are already
ripe nnd ready for tno reaper's Rlcklu.
A repetition of the scsncs of Pcnticost might
bo witnessed nny tlmo If the condition on
which God thus manifests Himself wcro
mot. There are great possibilities before
us. God's work can be done with His help
nnd by persistence , no matter how mighty
the opposition or how numerous the difllcul *
tics. When Christians are consecrated to
God' ? work nnd persistent , there uro no Im
possibilities before them. If twelve men
should onch bo the means of converting n
man within a year , at the end of the year
thcio would ho twenty-four ot them. If
each of the twenty-four should bo instru
mental In converting " another man during
tlio next year there "would bo forty-eight at
tno end of the second year. At tuls rate it
wouiu require ] nsi unriy years ior ovcry ro-
sponslblo man nnd woman on the earth to
receive , the gospel of God's ' son. Wo can
thus readily see what mighty responsibil
ities rest upon us nnd what great responsi
bilities are buforo us.
To accomplish this work wo should enter
tain n higher estimate of the value of souls.
Wo should work unitedly. Wo should won :
unselfishly. We should work harmoniously.
Wo should work personally. Each Christian
has a work to do that another cannot do ,
nnd at the last great day we shall have to
glvo an account of the manner In which wo
have spent our time on earth. Personal
work Is much ncodoJ everywhere. A church
may bo strong financially and In numbers ,
but It will fail in fullllllng its mission unless
its members do personal work. Wo must
work continually. Work today is the
Master's command. Lot us tuko warning
from the fact that Jesus said , "tho night
cometh when no man can labor. " The long
dark night , the deep dark night of eternity
Is coming. It Is coming , and wo can't keep
it , back. Work , work today , tor the night Is
coming when no man can work. Jesus
said , "Lot your light shine. " Lot it
shlno by your dally living. Let it
shine by your earnest work for God. "Let it
bhino that others may see your good works.
The world is dying. The grave Is lining.
Hell Is boasting. Wnko up. wake up. Work
fearlessly. There Is nothing that gives
Pompeii a deeper interest than a spot wlicro
a Roman soldier manifested a most heroic
fearlessness , where ho was overwhelmed by
the fury of Vesuvius rather than desert the
post where ho was n sentinel ,
There is no rest from our labors here , but
when our worn Is finished there will bo
blessed rest , rest in our Father's klncdoui.
When wo approach the gateway of that
kingdom wo are assured of a hearty wel
come. "Well done , goo.l and faithful ser
vant , outer thou into the joys of thy Lord. "
In view of these truths , brethren , let us
work today in God's vineyard and heed the
warning , 'The night cometh , no mar , can
wont. "

Superintendent Kothert of the institution
for the education of the deaf and dumb has
prepared a very complete annual report ,
which is published In the Deaf Mute Hawk-
oye. It Is ono which ovcry ono Interested in
the institute should peruse. It shows a con
siderable progress and improvement in nil
directions. The industrial schools are self-
supporting , and while lacking in some appli
ances requisite to properly tench thcso trades
and secure good work , yet are provmir suc
cessful. The suporintcndont recommends
the addition of u cooking school. Ho urges
tliat after once established tno cost of con
tinuance would bo only the salary of a
teacher and a yory small item for wasto.
The products of the school could be placed
upon the tables , and thus expenditures in
other directions decreased.
The Ironing school is reported as In satlsfno
tory condition , but the 'laundry department
needs now nnd bettor machines and appli
ances. The artesian well water is not good
for laundry purposes , and thu providing of a
largo cistern is recommended.
Among the ether desirable Improvements
nnd enlargements is named a dining room ,
the present being too small. In connection
with a needed extension of the dining room ,
and as n second lloor thereupon , it U sug
gcstcd.that ample room could bo provided at
small additional expense , for a gallery to
the chupol , a library , u reading room , and
offices. Tbo chapel Is too small to . ( ceommo-
data some of the gatherings there held.
Only a small room is now provided for library
purposes , and pupils are compelled
to use their dormitories for theirreadlng
purposes. A vault U also needed for the
proper protection of records and papers.
Tno health of the Institution is reported ai
having boon very satisfactory for two years.
Kofiilar gymnastic nnd caltsthonlc exorcises
have been conducted , conducing the proper
physical vigor and development. An ex
penditure of ? IOO Is recommended for secur
ing necessary apparatus for this department.
Tlio superintendent recommends the pur
chase of ninety acres of adjoining ground , ns
this is needed for farming nad grazing pur
poses. It can now bo purchased for $0,000 ,
nnd It will before many years become
absolutely necessary to secure additional
ground. As values are increasing it Is deemed
good policy to secure It now. Tna state now
owns 157 acres , but it is so dotted witti build
ings , divided bv wagon roads and with a rail
road passing through It , so that there is not
the satisfactory result reached from farming
and pasturing as if it wcro ono continuous
whole.

The handsome residence of W. S. Wllklns ,
No. T1J Washington avenue , had a narrow
cscapa from dcstructlou by lira Saturday
night. Ono of the rooms is occupied by Mr.
Moore , yardmaster at the Northwestern.
Mr. Moore retired about half past 10 Satur
day evening and was soon asleep. Ho was
awakened about an hour afterward , feeling
as though his lace was burning. 'I ho bed
clothing was all on fire nnd the room was lu
a blaze. Fortunately the bath room was
near at hand nud ho secured water in suf-
ilulcnl quantities to extinguish tno flumes
befora they had communicated to any other
p.irt.of the building. How the lire origin
ated IH a mystery , but the theory advanced
is that when Mr. Moore struck u mutch on
entering the room , a part of the Ignited
brimstone was detached nnd fell on the bed ,
whore it remained undiscovered until quite n
blaze wus In progress. It U little loss than n
miracle that Mr. Moore escaped with , his
life. The loss is confined1 almost entirely to
the furniture , und amounts to abaut $50 ,
which IH covered bv insurance.

Orap'ilc Description of a Wild Cere

When till luul assembled nnd the
iQ inon luul snt the tlnlo fnr the
bejjinnintf of the grout dtxnco dedicated
to the sun , the * 'aun polo" was selected ,
writes Lloutonitnt ScUwntku in the
Miirch Century. A handsome young
pine or IIr , forty or ( IIty feet high , with
the straitrhtcst nnd most uniform taper
ing that could bo found within n rea3-
oaabl'j distance was choson. The se
lection is always made by some old
woman , prenerally the oldest ono in the
'
camp , if there is'any way of determin
ing , wno I jnds n number of maidens
gayly dressed in the boaulif-il beaded
buckskin gown they wear on state occa
sions ; the part nf the maiden is to strip
the tree of its limbs as high as possible
without foiling it.
The selection of the trco is the only
special feature of the llrst day's celo-
pration. After it has been striped of
its branches i.early to the top , the
brushwood and dress for a considerable
distance about it are removed , and it is
loft standing for the ceremony of the
second day.
Long before sunrise the eager partic
ipants in the next great stop wcro preparing -
paring themselves for thoortteal ; und a
quarter of ait hour boforo.tho sun rose
above the broken hills ol'whito clay a
long line of naked young warriors , in
gorgeous war paint ana feathers , with
rilles , bows and arrows , and war lances
in hand , faced the cast and the sun-
polo , which was from 000 to 000 yards
away. Ordinarily this group of war
riors numbers from lltty to possibly 200
men. An interpreter near mo estimated
the line I beheld at from 1,000 to 1,200
strong.
Not far away , on a hill overlooking
the barbaric scene , was an old warrior ,
a medicine man of the tribe , I think ,
whoso solemn dtltyiit was to announce
by a shout that could be heard by ovcry
one of the expectant throng the exact
moment when the tip of the morning
sun appeared above tlio eastern lulls.
Perfect quiet rested upon the line of
young warriors and upon the great
throng of savugo spectators that
blacked tlio green hills overlooking
the arena. Suddenly the old warrior ,
who had been kneeling on ono knee ,
with his extended palm shading his
scraggy eyebrows , arose to his full
height , and in a blo\v , digni
fied manner waved his blanketed
arm above his head. The few
warriors who wore stilt unmounted now
jumped hurriedly upon their ponies ;
the broken , wavering line rapidly tools
on a moro regular appearance ; and
then the old man , who had gathered
himself for the great effort , hurled
forth a yell that , could bo heard to the
uttermost limits of the great throng.
The morning sun had sent its com
mands to the warriors on earth to
charge.
The shout from the hill was re-echoed
by the thousand men in the valley ; it
was caught up by the spectators on the
hills as the long line of warriors hurled
themselves forward towards the sun-
pole , the objective point of every
nrmod and naked savage in the yelling
lino. As they converged towards it
the slower ponies dropped out , and the
weaker ones wore crushed to the rear.
Nearer and nearer they came , the long
line becoming massed until it wus but
a surging crowd of plunging horses a'nd
yelling , gestioulating riders.
When the leading warriors had
reached a point within a hundred yards
of the sun-polo a sharp report of rilles
sounded along the line , and a moment
later the rushing mass was a shocot of
llamo , and the rattle of rille snots was
like the rapid beat of a drum resounding
among the hills. Every shot , every
arrow and every lunco was directed
at the polo , and bark and chips were
llyintr from its side like shavings from
the rotary bit of a planer. When
every bullet had been discharged and
every arrow and lance bad bcon
liurlod , the riders crowded around the
pole and shouted us only excited sav
ages can shout.
That such a vast , tumultuousthrong
could escape accident in all that wild
charging , firing of shots , hurling of
lances and arrows and great excitement
would be bordering on a miracle , and
no miracle happened. Ono of the great
warriors was trampled upon in the
charge and died late that evening , und
another Indian was shot.

A HITCH ON A PYTHON.
Attempting to Iiiloliii ( ) n Die SnaUo
from Its jKoclcy Heir jut.
It wus durlngVhip cold weather , when
snakes are partially or wholly torpid ,
; lmt this udvqntgro happened , says
uhambors' Jourmil. Had it boon in

ferent ending ,
General Marrjntyro and his party
went ono day TO examine a hole or
crevice under a. rock , where it had
boon suspected'a python lay hidden ,
and sure enough H was there , for they
could see a bit of tlio tail-end protrud-
, ng from the hole , They lot it alone at
llrst , thinking J.hat when the sun sljono
it might come forth to bask in its
warnnn. In this , hownver , they were
disappointed , for'pn the following day
the Riiako was not to bo seen. But on
closer examination the tail was found
sticking out ns before. Various olforts
were made to dislodge it. A lire win
lit in front and the smoke fanned in
ward , but this had no effect.
The earth was oven scraped
nway and the hole widened ,
when they could see tlio coils of the
monster ns thick as a man's thigh ; but
except that their operations were nec
essarily interrupted by the startling
ircbonco of the crqnU'ro' " head , which
t occasionally poked toward the en
trance , darting out its little forked
tongue , it gave small signs of anima
tion. They had oven determined to try
to draw it. Wo all three , therefore ,

like a hot potato , and what shall I call

ability have induced the snake to quit
its refuge , but then the shot must have
torn and disfigured its beautiful skin ,
which the general wished to secure un
injured as a specimen. In the meantime
more cllicient tools for digging had boon
sent for , and thcso now arrived , berne
upon an clophant.
A bright idea now struck the party
they might draw the snake out with the
clophantl Sullleicnt rope for the pur

pad , and this rope , about the thickness
of a man's thumb , was hiteiiod around
the python's tail , it remaining length

Now came the tug-of-warl A sudden
jerk might have torn the skin ; the ma-
hont was therefore warned to put on the
strain gradually. Little did wo know
what a tough and obstinate creature wo
had to deal with. Tighter and tighter
grew the ropes , when "crack" wont ono
of them. Still the strain was increased ,
when "crack" the other had snapped
also , leaving the snake in statu quo.
The snake was finally dislodged by
counter mining and killed with achargo

THEY LISTENED TO K/STE.
Miss Field Thinks
1'rnhilm nro Urnwin : ; ICciisounblc.
In a signed article the editor of
Ivato field's Washington says :
Massachusetts seems to bo getting on
almost as fast as Utah. Fanaticism is
no loss rampant in the old Bay state
-han in the Now Jerusalem , only it
boars another name for "Alormonism"
substitute "Frohibi ion. " To bo sure ,
, ho Grand Army of Cranks were de
feated at the polls last March , but their
cry is still for nothing but cold water
.or ' . all people under all circumstances.
When , therefore , I was invited recently
to lecture before a lyceum at North
Attloborp' , on "Tho Intemperance of
Prohibition , " my nervous system re
ceived "a suprise party. "
Such an invitation had never before
been 'extended. It marked a now
departure in the history of the Prohibi-
, ion movement. I had delivered this
ccturo in Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania , it is true , but as a campaign
idaross. ' IIorohowovor. was a country
y'ccum ready to pay to hoar the other
side of the argument. Needless to say
that I accepted the invitation and jour-
loycd all the way to Uoston for that
ccturo. Or. reaching North Attloboro' ,
" was told that the town ha.l bcon rent
n twain for a fortnight. There wcro
two factions belonging tq the Lyceum
ono Prohibition , the 'other opposed to
t , or metaphorically sittincr ou the
fonoe. The Congrsgutional clergyman ,
is a Christian and brother , had taken
t upon himself to cxliort his
old and the public generally
o boycott me , as being in
the pay of the liquor dealers and as per-
licious to good morals. It did not be
come prohibitionists to listen to an op-
) ouont of their creed. Indeed , I heard
t \yhisporod that this unchristian
'Christian" threatened to reply to me.
So I entered that countrv hull with
considerable curiosity , wondering what
vould happbn. To my regret , I had the
iold entirely to myself. Nobody intor-
uptcd me. and never did an audience
istoa moro attentively. Not a soul
oft the hall until I had quitted the
platform , and very hearty applause
? rf Olod my peroration.
This fact may seem insignificant to
metropolitan rsadors , but to ono who
: news the temper of the country people
t is a very big straw showing which
way the wind blows. I've boon moro
'
ma'lignod for opposing prohibition than
or opposing Mormouism ; and though ,

THE CHAUTAUQUA IDEA.
It Had Its Origin /Vmoiii ; the Anc'cnt
XcutoiM.
The largo fact called Chautauqua had
'its root in some sort amidst thn German
forests and in the days of Hermann.
Our Teuton forolathors held their folk-
mote as open-air gatherings under the
trees. The iifbtitution was both politi
cal and religious in its character and
emigrated to England and to Notv Eng-
lanu. The "Great and General Court'1
of Massachusetts was a democratic folk-
mote ; the "General Camp-Meeting" of
Kentucky was a religious folk-mote.
In the religious democracy of the Bay
state popular education was born ; in
the Ohio valley was conceived the idea
of utilizing tno camp-mcotiug for the
needs of an educational democracy.
The inventor who revolutionized farm
ing machinery , Lewis Miller , early
cherished the belief that bible teach
ing ought to bo shot through
and through witli knowledge and
that the camp-mooting furnished the
means for accomplishing this object. A
village pastor in Now Jersey , now
famous us Chancellor and as Bishoo
Vincent , had , about 1SG2 , become pos
sessed by the thoJght th.it power for
daily life could bo gained by bringing
sacred and secular learning into gener
ous alliance. At length these comple-
mcntal men , great-hearted and large-
brained , were able to lok hands , and
in 1874 C'liautauqua the idea became
Chautauqua the reality.
t * * * *
It is in Japan , however , that the pos
sibilities of religious influencewrapped
up within the Chautauqua movement ,
are most sicrnilicant. The Sunrise
kintrdom is at this moment "wax to re
ceive" the stamp and moulding which
it will hereafter bo "marble to retain.1
Her young men. whoso intellects are
sensitive plates to preserve the impress
of Occidental civilization , are stretch
ing eager hands toward the tree of
knowledge transplanted from the
west , covet the prize of a "diploma
from America , " and press by hun
dreds into Cliautauqua circles of their
own. Many are reached by Chautau
qua the educator who would have been
inaccessible to missionary olTort or im
pervious to avowedly Christian teach
ing. Cliautauqua is no mean agency in
helping to decide what the Japanese
civilization of tomorrow shall be.
The Cha'utauqua literary and
scientific circles of Japan comprise
JiO.OOO native members. The rapid in
crease of numbers in five years would
indicate that an educational organiza
tion of such character as the Cluiutau-
qua circles possesses special adaptation
to tha needs of the quick-witted
Frenchmen of the Kaht , " who have to
advance beyond their native culture
and'bo shown the v/tiy / to th < ) wisdom of
the west.
II T.I U ClmrlfH Itoss Aunln.
A young man has boon discovered in
Port-Allegheny who iray turn out to bo
the long-lost Charlie 'lloss , abducted
from his father's residence in Germantown -
town , July 1. 1874.
lie is of the proper ago and has cer
tain marks on his body that may load to
his identification as the long-missing
boy. says a Philadelphia dispatch to the
Now York Morning Journal.
The story ho tells of lus life seems to
tend iilso'iu that direction.
In the recitation of his life lie said
hoheanl of Charlie Hess , and for a long
time believed ho was the missing hoy.
lie said lie had learned nothing ( Infinite
of his llfo , and consequently did not
wish to appear before Mr. Ho-js and
claim to bo his mlening ton. Ho had
never bought advice in the matter , but
now would write to Mr. Uoss and seek
for mi interview.
The young man * is between twenty
nud twouty-oiio yours of age , and js
about 5 foot 8 inches in height. His
complexion is light , with blue eyes ,
light brown hair , which has a tendency
to bo curly , and hu weighs about 110
pounds.
The young man will probably como to
this city next week to confer with Mr.
Itoss.
Mr. Teed , who has acted as n father
to the lad , confirms his story , and is also
endeavoring to learn something of the
boy's llfo prior to the time ho adopted
hi in.
