EXPERIENCES IN THE FIELD RELATED
Interesting I'lininn of I.lfo nnd Noclnl Con

lleurd for Himself.
Exposition hall was filled last night at the
grand homo missionary rally , the final meet
ing of the week of the Congregational conven
tion. All the congregations of the church
In the City were present. The platform was
occupied by Iho speakers nnd by Drs. Duryca
nnd Ilutlcr of the city. Music to accompany
the hymns was furnished by a string band.
The hymns wcr6 nil old nnd well known and ,
nutig by such a large audlcnco , produced n
Una effect.
The services were opened with the singing
of the hymn , "All Hall the Power of Jesus'
Name. " Secretary Washington Cliualo then
read a few verses from the first chapter of
tha Book of Jonluu nnd was followed by Kev.
Drcssor with the opening prayer. Another
hymn was sung nnd Kov. Joseph B. Clark ,
the presiding officer of Iho meeting , then ad
dressed the audience , as follows :
"I wish to plnce before you a picture of
Iho frontier of the home missionary field :
It Is a town ICO miles from whore the super
intendent lives and Is readied by stage , n
most uncomfortable vehicle for a man of
200 pounds. When I was there It was a
place of COO or COO people , without any gospel.
t wont to see If It was a place for religious
enterprise. I found several 1'rcabyterlans
with letters In their pockets , but they had no
place to use them. There were n couple of
Baptists , thrco families of Methodists , one
Adventlst , ono Campbelllte , ono Catholic/ ,
nn Ingersoll Infidel , and a fool washer , who
had no feel to wash but his own and did
not wash them very often. At last I found
a bonanza a congregational woman with
cloven children. At my first service there
wore twenty-four people , some of whom had
not heard a sermon for fifteen years. At the
evening service fifty persons were present
from nil the surrounding country. A Sund.iy
school was founded , with the Catholic us
superintendent. When the lime came for
the orgnnlzatlotvoMho church , a row arose
over what kind of u church It should be.
Ono man suggested a now testament church.
The suggestion was adopted nnd the now tes-
lamcnl searched. When It came oul of Ihe
oven II was found lo bo a congregational
church and was so christened. I wish to
say that you do not k'now how Indebted we
nro to our simple policy. "
After his remarks Dr. Clark Introduced
Mrs. if. C. Caswell of the woman's depart
ment of the society. She gave a very In
teresting account of her experiences with
the cowboys among the Black Hills during
her recent attendance al Iho mecllng of the
Ministers' association of South Dakota. She
wool the only woman al Iho hotel where
aho slopped and had as companions some
fitly cowboys. In her presence Ihey were
as polite and gentlemanly as tiny eastern
young man. Before her entrance Into the
dining room they could bo heard swearing
and telling low stories , but as soon as she
opened the door all was hushed. This Is
an example of the Influence of woman upon
thorn , and It Is the same with the miners.
At the mcctlni : she addressed she Invited
these cowboys and they accepted.
WANTS THEM REACHED.
She said further ; These cowboys are on
my heart. They como to town and get
" tfriink , and then go back to their lonely llfo
on. Uie ranch. I think that a gospel -wagon
thould be sent out among them nnd move
from place to place. It should bo supplied
with singers and an organ , and should be
Under , the direction of a woman. They
need It and great good could bo done. "
The next speaker Introduced was Kev.
Oeorgo Scott , "Great" Scotl , of Ihe Black
Hills. Ho spoke as follows : "I am glad
thai Iho convention was held In Omaha , so
that I could attend It and meet eastern
brethren. They nrp spoken of as "stingy ,
bul 1f they did net care for every cent they
could not hnve helped In the great work In
the west. There Is no more wickedness
in frontier towns than there. Is In Omaha ,
but there nro so many dcccnl folks here
thai Ihey hide Ihe evil. Bul a missionary
in the west needs tact nnd some little cour-
ngo. Once while I was holding a meeting
in a tent a young man nnd woman entered.
H wna probably the first tlmo ho had es
corted a Indy and ho kept talking to her
all the time. I told him It was Impolite to
talk when another man had the floor. Ho
wouldn't quit. After meeting people told
mo ho was going to whip me. One man

I had him examine the wheel * ot my buggy

man did not come , bul I might have driven

"A ml Monary must know men and how
to handle them. Ilia duty Is to scatter jccdn
of the gospel. He must have r.rlt nnd gump
tion In the grand work. In the lllack Hllla
Ihe Methodist , Episcopalian nnd other
churches have been closed up , but the Con
gregational IB opari , chiefly by the aid of the
Homo Missionary society. "
Itov. A. 1C. ttay , superintendent of the
Missouri state society , was Iho next speaker
nnd said :
"A Bormcn like one delivered here In
Omaha would not hold an nudlenco In south
ern Missouri or northern Arkansas. It would
ho too heavy. It may bn said that a preacher
In the rurnl districts ' mut begin a sermon
from n text , depart fruin It and never gel
back lo It. Such a talk strikes the audience
pretty well. Ho must not May much , but lib
must make n tremendous lot of nolae. The
people llvo absolutely oul of sympathy nnd
knowledge of the rest of the world. They
liava no churches , but the woods are full of
preachers. The gospel must be brought lo
them. They will wnllt miles to hear n i-cr-
rnou of sympathy. " j
Itev. McCready of Nebraska gave his ex
periences. He has had many , chiefly among
Ulack II11U people.
AliOUT WESTERN IJOYS.
Dr. U'lanl , late lleld secretary of the In
terior , was the next speaker. Aflcr lolling
some stories , o ho spoke as follows :
"Many of the western boys turn out badly ,
but there nre many others who succeed.
When they make their fortunes they como
Into town and If they have the gospel soon
lose It. They want more preachers. Those
that are In the field don'l lead a very pleas-
nnl life. I have scon ono dressed In old
shabby clothes , and his wlfa was no better
off. When you send clothes to missionaries
you should try them on your pastor and his
wife llrsl. "
Or. Wlard closed with eloquent thanks to
the city for the royal reception given to the
delegates. After his talk a collection was
taken , which Is to be given to the soclely.
Dr. Glurk announced thai a pdodgo of $500
had been placed In his hands by a lady ot
Iho city. Whllo Ihe collection was being
taken Her. Second , ono of the veteran mis
sionaries , spoke as follows :
"I am somo\yhat advanced In years and
most of my llfo has been 'devoted to home
missionary work. A good deal has been said
about the trials and labors of mislsotiarlcs
and much sympathy has been expressed.
Hut those who need this sympathy most are
the secretaries. They need much to carry
them through their work.
"I have been often asked how I feel toward
the work. I feel the same as when I entered.
It I had another llfo to live I would give my
work to houmc missions , and If Ihero Is
ono place harder than another , I would ask
to bo sent to thai place. "
Hov. Second was Iho last speaker. The
audlcnco united In singing the llrst and last
stanzas of "America" and the parting beno-
dlctlon was pronounced by Kev. Dr. Hcrrlck.
It worth whileto recall that the man who
suggested last year at Saratoga that the
next meeting of the Congregational Home
Mlslsonary society bo held at Omaha Is Kev.
Dr. John Askln of Council Bluffs. Ho was
one of the speakers at the Saratoga conven
tion and It was through his efforts that
Omaha was chosen us the place for Ihe
next meeting.

.Sermon of Dr. Hcrrluk nt St. Mury'8 Church
Ycstc-rdiiy.
Rev. Drs. Herrlck ot Mount Vcrnon
church , Boston , and Thurber of Newton ,
Mass. , were the pulpit guests of Itev. S.
W. Butler nt SI. Mary's Avenue Congrcga-
Uonnl church yesterday morning. Dr.
Herrlck preached to a large congregation
from the text : "Blessed nro ye that hun
ger now , for ye shall be filled. * *
Woe unto you that are fuH now , for ye
shall hunger. "
Dr. Herrlclc was nol willing that the im
port of these words should be limited by
the purely local nnd historical application
to conditions in the Jewish nation at the
llmo of their utterance , as is implied In
the explanation commonly given to the
text. , s This , he said , was true- enough BO
far as It went , but lie insisted thai the
"now" in the text was the eternal now , thu
now of every sunrise , the ever present
now , the now of God Himself. The dis
course was In general a discussion of the
benefit of dissatisfaction with present
moral attainment , Involving a hunger for
something more , something higher , and of
the sad signification of perfect content
ment , a condition which , the pieuclier de
clared , Is fatal to any moral beltxB , meanIng -
Ing stagnation , rust , and finally loss of
faculty and of capacity lo enjoy higher
thing ; ) , even If the desire for'J.them ' should
perulinnce return. Natural phenomena
were cited to demonstrate thu ceaseless
activity of the spirit of aspiration and en
terprise In the material universe , a spirit
emanating from Qed Himself nnd con
stantly manifested by Him.J'My Father
worketh hllheito and I work. " . "Behold 1
make all things new. " God Is continually
creating and recreating. The outermost
sun in the universe Is a thlny Inconceiv
able. God , In the preacher's opinion , Is
never satisfied with Himself , -.but always
from Himself , a mighty difference between
those two things. Heaven Is not the ter
mination of nn earthly career , but only a
continuation of It ; not a place for eternal
lepose on soft couches , bul an enlarged op
portunity for the progress of the moral
activities , which should be begun below.
Discontent means aspirations which
hunger will create , the effort to realize and
a constant stretching upward cannot fall.
Au an Illustration of thu IIrut part of the
loxt Dr. Hcrrlck referred to the life of
the late Henry Martin Tupper , who gradu
ated with him at Amherst thirty-live years
ago. As a young man he had no redeeming
ing- quality but his goodness , no capacity
for scholarship , struggled his way through
college , iKiimllnff himself nnd living halt
thu time on crackers a.nd rnllk , but he was
a learner In thu school of Christ , with a
cr.ivlng hunger for righteousness. He
died having founded a college and divinity
school for colored people at lialclgh , N.
C. , ' felling himself the timber nnd burning
the bricks of wh.t < ; h the buildings weru
made , and In the course of his work lean
ing half a thousand nt the students Into
thu Hsht of the gospel all done with no
endowment whatever of Intellect , with only
a luinjjer for righteousness , n career of
goodness unparalleled by John Eliot or
even by the npostle Paul , for they had
rich Intellectual gifts , while ho had none.
Itut the other side of thu picture. "Woe
unto you that are full now , for ye shall
hunger. " They may find out when too
late that they have a craving for which
there Is no morsel , a nakedness for which
there Is no gniblng , n thlrsl which iheru Is
no drop of water to quench. Their anguish
Increased by the consciousness that by lack
of uxerclsu and disuse they have losl thu
rapacity for enjoying , even If they had
them , the things they now long for. This
Is a law. Inevitable and relentless , uni
versal and In a degree demonstrated In the
llfu of every man In remorse for oppor
tunities unimproved , for what might once
have been attained , but rnnnot now DP
forever and forever. Men who are satisfied
with themselves "get left" and can never
catch up. Not "In It" now , they can never
liu "In It. " 1'assed by the progress about
them , they can never "catch on. "
Dr. Herrlclc here hinted nt a bit of per
sonal history In a manner plainly appre
ciated by the congregation. ' The I'resby-
tcitnns. ho declared , arc now In trouble
over the operation of this very law. "I
know what I am talking about , " said he
"I was born and bred n Presbyterian , and
was once a minister In that church. They
had what they conceived to bo the truth
wrapped up In a neat package , bound with
n stout cord securely tied and scaled. They
were determined that mtUilng should ever
get Into thai package nnd equally deter
mined that nothing should ever get out ot
It , and they labeled It , 'Westminster Con
fession of Knllh. ' They believed they had
In there the truth , the whole truth nnd
nothing but thu tiutli. And now some of
them have discovered their mistake , but
they hnvo been FO warned by prejudice ,
tradition and training that they still cling
to the old , though hungering for uomcthlng
more. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Twenty-five hundred people congregated

scries with DCS Moincs. They dispersed
after nearly two hours sport well satisfied
Uocauaa Omaha won. The struggle was too
lopsided to l > o exciting , but there wore times
during the battle when the crowd became
extremely hilarious. Ono of these was In
the seventh Inning when the llourkcs drove
Mr. Holmes Into the woods with four sin
gles , throe three-baggers and seven runs.
Ho was no hog and knew when ho had

In his stead during the last tlirco Innings ,
and did magnificently , holding the locals
down to one hit , and closing them out with
out another score.

WERE BELLIGERENT YOUTHS.
Knock Ttvo 31 en and Tire Women 1'rono
nnd Wound Other * .
At G o'clock yesterday afternoon the police
were called to the corner of Tenth nnd
Center streets to quell a disturbance that
for a time promised to result In the serious
Injury of several persons. The nffalr
started from a difference that existed be
tween two boys , aged 15 tnd 19. They met
In front of the residence- Mr. Meyer
Stone , 1503 South Tenth street , and had a
light , the smaller being badly worsted. He
ran away and the other took after him.
Mr. Stone rushed from his house and over
hauling the larger of the boys called him
to account for bin brutal treatment of one
so much smaller than himself. By this
time three or four others appeared , and all
were friends of the boy captured by Mr.
Stone. When they heard the hitter's re
monstrance they at once set upon Stone ,
and ono of them felled him to the pave
ment with a Impo ball bat Mr. Stone
was Insensible for a few moments. Ills
teeth had been knocked loose by the blow ,
his mouth badly cut nnd ho was otherwise
Injured.
At this point Joseph Vaschluskl. win
rooms at Jir. Stone's residence , nppearei
and took a hand In the light. It was bu
a moment till he was knocked off his feet
and he called loudly for help. Ilostllltlc.
did not stop hero , but Mrs. Esther Wcln
stein , seeing the trouble that was bcfnlllnr
her friends , came rushing down. She was
met by a strong fellow carrying a cane
He demanded to know what abe wan then
for. She Is not able to speak English am
did not icply at once. She was promptly
sent to earth. Miss Fannie Stone , i
daughter of Meyer Stone , had been to th
nark , nnd had Just returned. She heart
of the trouble her father was In nnd wen
to the scene of battle. She was met bj
the man with the cane. Ho did not wal
for her to say a word , but told her to go
back. She did not at once comply will
his dPinand and she was sent headlong to
the street. She wan not badly hurt nnt
ran back to the house and told some of the
neighbors of what happened. She also
said that Mrs. Esther Wclnsteln had been
badly hurt. The Jailer's sister , Fannie
was at once up In arms , and she wen
alone , to see what could be done townri
causing a cessation of hostilities. She
had not gone half way when Hho was me
with a sharp slap In the face. Her watcl
chain was snatched from her corsage ami
she was told to KO back. She went.
By this time the cnllrc neighborhood was
aroused. Men. women and children were
upon Iho streets In hundreds. Friends of
the Injured went to the place where the
light occurred and took Mr. Stone , bleed
Ing and almost Insensible , to his house
The men who did the fighting escaped be
fore the police reached Ihr- scene of action
and the only thing to remind them of whni
occurred waa the promiscuous jabbering o |
a couple of hundred people , a pool of blood
In the street and a ba.se ball bat. Stone
and VaschluskI were arrested *

Rock Springs Given a Tusto of Genuine-
Wyomlntr Hospitality.
LANDER , Wyo. , June .10. ( Special to. The
Bee. ) Yesterday and today an excursion
party , consisting of forty-live business men
from Rock Springs , accompanied by the
Rock Springs brass band , was entertained
here. The visitors were met about nine
miles from the city by a committee of
Lander men , headed by Mayor Firestone ,
who , after a neat speech of welcome , pre
sented to M. Dennis Waters a huge key
and tendered him the freedom of Lander.
Mr. Waters , on behalf of Rock Springs ,
made a neat reply. In the evening a grand
reception was held , when speeches were
made by E. II. Kort of Lander and R. D.
Woodruff and Dennis Waters of Rock
Springs. Miss Annie Oldenberg of Lander
then rendered in her matchless style two
beautiful songs of love and welcome. Danc
ing was then In order , and about midnight
the guests and entertainers were seated to
an elegant feast prepared by Jerry Sheean
of the Fremont. Today the excursionists
are passing the lime sight-seeing , fishing
and getting acquainted with the good people
ple of .Lander. Lander is situated In the
Pope Arle valley. In the heart of the largest
agricultural district In the state , nnd Is
the supply headquarters for the mining
camps of the South Pass country. It is
148 miles to Casper on the Elkhorn , and
128 from Rock Springs. But , although so
far from the railroad , It Is one of the most
nourishing little cities In the state.

A Negro's Triple Voice.
William Yancy , a pure-blooded negro and
ex-slave from Ihe sotilh , had lived lo past
middle age , and always had considerable of
a struggle for existence before he became
aware of the/fact that he was something of
a physical monstrosity and an object of
Interest to the medical profession because
of that very fact. He glories In the pos
session of three distinct voices one pitched
In the barytone kev , and two minor ones ,
soprano and alto. The barytone Is his nor
mal or natural voice , while the consonant
production of the other two depends on his
will nnd on his manipulation of his vocal
chords. When singing certain songs adapted
to those three voices of his , says the Chicago
cage Herald , they produce together a
harmony of notes similar. In fact , to the
chiming of a rather well modulated bary
tone voice nnd of a soprano and an alto
of less volume and power. In other songs ,
or passages of them , the three voices which
simultaneously emanate from liln throat
Round discordant. He has , by dint of many
years' unassisted training , reached such
a degree of skill In "handling" bis assort
ment of voices thai he can sing the HOO
part of a Bong In his normal , clear" bary
tone , reserving the weird effects of the
three voices In conjunction to the chorus
or refrain. Besides this abnormal pro-
llclency In emitting a Job lot of notes , Mr.
Yancy Is likewise the proud owner of ven-
trlloqulstlc powers , and the latter he knows
how to use to oven better effect than his
vocal talents. Yancy Is now the Janitor
of Qulnn.chapcl.

POPULISTS HOLD THE TRUMPS
Upon Their Votes Dopoudn the Passage of
the Tariff Bill ,
CAN BE PURCHASED ONLYBY CONCESSIONS
r'hmnco Committee Devoting It * Knnrglei
to the IntereMn of the Sugar Truit
The Cotton Schedule Harris
to Force the righting
Washington special to the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat : Threats from democratic lenders
of the house that the senate Sugar trust bill
will never bo permitted to become a law
nllll continue lo bo heard wllh Increasing
volume. Ono thing Is certain , Iho vote on
the sugar schedule clearly defined the slttm-
llon In Iho senate. It the popullsls , Kyle
nnd Allen , vote with the democrats the bill
will probably pass the senate. If they do
not the bill may bo defeated. To ono of Iho
anxious democrallc senators Mr. Allen has
made this statement :
"I do not know how I shall vote. H will
depend upon what action the senate takes
upon some amendments I have yet to pro
pose. I certainly shall not vote for the bill
unless It la to my liking , nnd unless It shall
conlaln the provisions which It seems tome
mo It ought lo conlaln , and whch I shall
propose. I know lhal Ihero will bo much
opposition to granting these rcqiicsls which
I shall make , but they seem to mo reason
able. No ono has a right to say that he
knows how I shall vote when the last roll
Is called upon the passage of the bill. "
This statement of Mr. Allen Is significant.
Two of the amendments which ho is to pro
pose , are that coal .shall go upon thu free
list , and thai some of the cheaper grades
of woolen clothing shall also bo madu free.
The senator who had the conversation with
Allen says :
FREK COAL.
"I do not see how the frnmors ot the bill
can consent to the woolen clothnlg amend
ment which Allen has In mind. Thcro are
northern democrats Interested In Iho woolen
manufacturing Industry who would make a
stand In opposition to that. But It Is very
possible that coal may be- put cpon the
tree list. I look to see coal on the free list
in Iho bill If It shall over bo reported from
the conference committee. Gorman , con
trary to the general belief , docs not care
about the free coal. Ho has clone his duty
to his railroad and hmnllng constituents In
having coal put on the dutiable list ; It will
not bo necessary for him to insist upon
dutiable caol In the conference. H will bo
necessary thai there bo some concessions
on the part of the senate In the conference
If they are to save the regular schedule , and
everything seems to subordinated to that.
Mr. Allen may get free coal. I do not see
how ho can get free woolen clothing. But
these are only two of the Items which ho
has In view. Ho will ask for more. He Is
something like Oliver Twist , apparently.
Ho Is not satislled. Ho calls for more. "
The populists now hold the Irump card"
In Iho senate tariff game. The democrats
certainly do not know whether they can
pass Ihelr bill through the senate or not.
It looks as thouch Ihey had not completed
their arrangemenls. They do nol know how
much moro It will be necessary lo pay Allen
for his support of the bill.
TWO IMPORTANT VOTES.
The effect Is that Aleln and Kyle have not
yet shown their hands. They have shown
to Ihoso who seek votes for the bill that
they have the two voles which may mean the
pusasgo through the' senate or the defeat of
the bill , and they have done no moro. They
have not given the democrats an assur
ance thai their votes can bo permanently
relied upon for the pill through all Its
stages. They say that Ihey have given mi
pledges whalover. They aro" Jrco lances
still. They have been glad to get what they
have recelve.d. They will make demands
for more. They have accepted the Invita
tion which Brlce gave some time ago to
slop up to the free lunch counter and be sat
isfied. They do not think thai the counter
should bo closed so long ns the 1)111 is still
unpassed. They mny make demands which
the democrats will not bo able to satisfy.
The tnrlff KM Is In a critical condlllon. The
democrals expect to be able to pass It by
purchase , nnd the terms of the sale have not
oven yet been fully stated. The bill has yet
to bo voted upon In the senate , and It Is not
to bo forgotlen thai It Is also to be voted
upon In the senate again after It will have
como from the conference. If the conditions
ara to be traded away In conference and the
condition upon which votes were given for
It In the senate- are to bo revoked , It Is pos
sible that when the bill will como back from
the conference these votes will also be re
voked.
COTTON SCHEDULE.
There are Indications , however , that the
managers of the bill In the senate are en
deavoring to frame the bill ns they go along ,
so that there shall be the least possible
friction In the conference. There Is a
striking Illustrallon of this In the way thai
Iho changes In the cotlon schedule nro now
being prepared. The situation Is anomalous.
II has probably never happened before In Iho
hlslory of tariff legislation. It Is a fact ,
however , that the senate finance commltteo
has delcgatel to "Cliff" Brecklnrldge of
Arkansas , a member of Iho ways nnd means
committee of the house , the duly of deler-
mlning what sort of n collon schedule Iho
finance commltteo shall report to the scnalo
for passage.
The senate finance committee Is dlstrlb-
ullng the details of Its work ns to the sched
ules of the bill In order that the entire Intel
lect , time and faculties of Its members be
devoted to the Interests of the Sugur trusl.
However weak Iho finance commltteo maybe
bo on tlio othed schedules of the bill , they
are found to be strong In the mailer of Iho
sugar schedule. The colton schedule has
been turned over by the commltteo absolutely
to Hrecklurldgo , of Arkansas , of the house.
The woolen schedule Is given to Schoenhof
to frame. The chocolate and other schedules
nro given to Sharretls , now ono of Iho Now
York appraisers , lo determine. The sugar
schedule Is assigned to Brlco nnd Havomoyer.
In this dlstrlbullon of labor Iho framers of
Iho senate tariff bill think that they 1'ovo
discovered economy and advantage. lUvldo
and conquer In ono of the maxims.

Cloth.
Now , of course , a bullet proof cloth
con be put lo many uses-rlises which nro
obvious and need nol be catalogued at this
time but It occurs to Iho Washington Post
thai our Johnnies are likely lo bo bene
ficiaries of Ihe discovery nnd Mint In no
slight dcgrue. Ono of the chief disad
vantages under which the average dude has
labored heretofore , and , for that matter. Is
still laboring. Is the gnawing desire lo shoot
at him which his appearance Invariably
rousesi In the savage brrast. II Is simply
Impossible for Iho ordinary citizen to gazn
upon the genuine Johnnie without long
ing for his gun. The spectacle of that
long-tailed coat , those pointed shoes ,
lioso trousers turned up at the bottom ,
that shepherd's crook of a walking stick ,
that sumptuous slilrt collar , and that No.
lint parched an Iho loftiest point of a
) lncapplo-shaped head Invariably fills the
mntor'a soul with fervor. No man who
OWIID n fowling piece and knows how to
lee It ran behold that spectacle unmoved ,
n many parts of the country. Indeed , the
apparition of a fully equipped Johnny would
tavo tha r.nmo effect upon sportsmen that
ho ( light of the first reed bird hereabouts
ins upon our local gunners. Whether It Is
iccause they resent the existence of thn
olinnlo , or because , recognizing In him a
rare and valuable specimen , they wish to
capture him nnd , with the taxidermist's old ,
o treasure him forever under glass , wo do
not undertake to say. What we know Is
hat they all burn to shoot him and that ho
s In danger every Jiourofhls life.

STRANGE PICTURE OF AMERICA ,

A well known Swiss writer , who visited the
World's fair , and was then forced to remain ttf

joined the long list of foreigners for whom
"America" lias boon a favorlto subject for
"dissertation. " In a recent Issue of the
Neuo Zurlcher Zcltung , ono of Iho most
famous Swiss journals , under Iho headline ,
"What Is America ? " ho wrote : "America la
a land compared with which Europe Is only'
a peninsula ; the United States form a coun
try compared with which the European king
doms are pygmies. America Is Ihe land ol
unmeasured distances and dimensions ; the
land of dollars nnd electricity ; the land wbera
the prairies are more extensive , the river *

of senseless crnzo for gain the land of the
