May 6, 1897 THE BAPTIST COSTESTION. The Southern Baptist fcanvention, delegates to which, laymen and clergy, from fourteen States are now assembling in this city, is no ordi nary event, and would be no ordi nary event in great , cities where great events are ol frequent occur rence. This convention represents the largest church organization in the South and embraces within it some or the best intellects of living Americans There are some whose hairs have silvered or whitened in the service of the Master, whose names have spread beyond the con tinent, and others not so long in the service but highly gifted and de votedly zealous, masters of the ora tory which captivates and the logic that convinces. Bright men, able men, brilliant men, deep, scholarly men are here, men that any denomi nation, any section or any country might be justly proud to call its own. With these are writers of books and gifted editors, who through their books, papers and other periodicals expound the doctrines of their de nomination, defend them when as sailed, and carry on from day to day the work of education so essential to the -best development and to the suc cess of any great church or other or ganization. There are also, though not of the clergy but with them in spirit, men eminent in other walks of life who have left their impress for good oi the generation in which they live. Of such will be composed this . large convention, of a large and mighty denomination of Christian workers. An interesting feature in connec tion with it is the Baptist Young People's Union, from which the min isters and evangels of the future will come to take the places of the veterans of the Cross when they are called from labor to refreshment and their places become vacant. Thus the succession is continued unbroken and the vounz army of Christian workers is being thoughtfully trained to take their places later in the ranks of. the Church Militant to take up and carry on the work where their seniors laid it down when called to their reward, in the ranks of the Church Triumphant. Another interesting feature is the Baptist Women's Missionary Union, these mothers and daughters of the Church, whose precept and example have done s- much for the growth , and glory of the Church to which they have devoted their pious ef forts. j Here, then, -.we 'have as representa tive of their denomination the strong and mentally stalwart fathers of the Church, the exemplary and trusting ly working mothers of the Church, with the sons and daughters of tin Church, making, if we may so ex press it, the Church family com plete. ... j Such is the great and h snored body which is now assembling within v our gates, where they are welcomed with a cordial welcome, where they are greeted with a cordial greeting from warm hearts and kindred spir its of their own and other deaomina- . tions who wish them God speed in the noble lite work have been called, j to which they While the people of this city will reap the benefit of the Christian in tercourse thus conferred upon them, and be edified by the discourses they may have fan opportunity to listen to, we feel sure also that our visitors will enjoy the mingling with them, and carry to their homes, when they leave us, pleasant memories of a city which while not pretentious has a reputation for warmhearted hospi tality which has never failed to make a visit a pleasant memory to those who become her guests, an d these who are now within her portals are guests that she will delight to enter tain and honor and feel herself hon ored, in having that privilege. The ocean, that, but a few miles distant, in grandeur rolls, ' is not more grand; the blue sky that bends In azure beauty above us is not more beautiful; the genial sun that paints and tints the flowers that bloom is not more gen'ul thin this Christian fellowship of the sons and daughters of God, whatever be their denomina tion, when assembled in His name and doing His work. As such we greet and mingle with these Christian workers, and as such Wilmington welcomes them within her gates and to her homes. I THE SEAR WOSXMEff. One of the pretences in justifica tion of the protective tariff is to protect the American workman from the competition of the "pau per labor", of Europe. The Amer ican workman Is dear to the gentle men who hanker for a high tariff. Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, is one of the high tariff ites, but the American workman seems to be too dear for him. In a recent interview with Gath, the well known news paper correspondent, he is quoted as saying: ! "Wages must come down. The rail roads get onev cent for hauling a too cl coal five miles, for one hundred miles twenty cents, leu than coal thovelers get for potting a toa of coal Into your chute from the cart Wages in America stand agaiust any revival of basinet.'' "Wages mast comedown." Well the fellows who discourse eo persls-: tently - and loudly about keeping them up when they want some more protection" generally manage to get them down when they get the pro tection they are howling for, or come to the conclusion they can't get it, It may be observed in this connec tion that Senator Elkins is a large owner of coal mining property in West Virginia and is largely Inter ested in the mining of coal. He wants an increase of forty cents a ton on the coal he mines, ostensibly for the benefit of the miners who dig oat the coal, for that is the way they put it, bat this doesn't seem to be strictly the case with Senator Elkins, for he says the miners are too well paid now. In the face of this statement investigations by State authorities in the coal miniog regions of Pennsyl vania and Illinois show a deplorable stale of affairs among the miners employed in those mines; show that many of them do not receive wages enough to purchase as much of the necessaries, much less the comforts of life as they should have, and that many more are in a condition bordering on star vation. If West Virginia is such a bonanza for the miner, it is surpris ing that some of these poorly paid, half-starved Pennsylvania miners do not rush down there and fill op and get fat We would commend the candor of Senator Elkins, if he were really honest about it, but be will make the alleged high wages of work men in the West Virginia mines a pretext for demanding more protec tion that he and his associates in mining may have a better chance to fleece the consumers of their coals. KIHOK MXSTI08. There has been a great howl raised for protection to wool, it being asserted that the wool -growing in dustry was ruined by putting wool on the free list Hides have been on the free list for about twenty-five years, and the discovery has just been made that this is ruining the cattle-growing industry. The fact is that the importations of both have increased as the population of the country increased and the demand for both consequently became greater. The following figures show the increase and show at the same time as far as wool is concerned, the increase of Importations under the Wilson tariff, which made wool free, does not justify the assertion that this has been ruinous to wool grow- ibg in this country: Fiscal.

We said something yesterday about the success of the Riverside Cotton Mills at Danville, Va., as an object lesson as to what may be done in cotton manufacturing In the South. Here is another object les son of a different kind, which we clip from the Philadelphia Record : 'Battoa capitalists are baildine a cot ton mill at Indian Head, Alabama, which will cost $600,000 and have a capacity ol 85.000 spindles. There is a coal mine within fifty feet of the engine room. Cot ton Is grown in tight Labor is cheap and contented. A coal mine within fifty feet of the engine room. This means fuel at a nominal cost, and an inexhaust ible supply of it Cotton grown at the doors. This means an inexhaust ible supply of cotton, at the lowest market price, not subjected to detri meat by long transportation. Here are two factors of success which will give these mills advantages that the Boston capitalists comprehend and that every one else must readily see. With such advantages, with reason ably good management, why should these mills not be able to undersell mills remote from the coal mines and cotton fields, however well they may be managed? -There are some things that may be offset by strong organ ization, bat not such as these.

Why the Queen of Spain should pat herself to the troable to sign aaautoaomy agree ment at a time when there are no inhabitants not pnaer arms, save in the towns in any of the Cuban prov inces, is something that seems to be oaly understood by the Spaniards themselves. Ktchmond State, Dent. " The Supreme Court has de cided that bonded goods when with drawn from bond must pay the rate of duty in force at the time when the goods were imported. A con signment of steel rails imported in 1887. when the duty was $18.70 per ton, withdrawn from bond in 1895, was he'd to be liable for duty at the rate payable in 1887. though in the meantime the rate Of duty had been .twice redacted by successive acts of Congress. This decision would seem to be conclusive as against retroac tive legislation. The duty of $18.70 per ton was almost or quite confis catory. Philadelphia Record Dent. TWINKUN3S.

We cook onr food to render it more agreeable to our sen so of taste and smell. Cooking develops flavors and odors not present in the raw state. ' This is particularly true , of the animal foods, but it is also true to a greater or less extent with re gard to vegetable foods, and indeed some vegetables, as potatoes and beans, would bo repugnant were they uncooked. The superior flavor, appearance and taste of a piece of beefsteak nicely cooked area case in point- Tbe development of pleasant flavors in the coffee berry and pea nut illustrate tbe same principle. A second reason -why -we should cook our food is to be found in the fact that thereby we facilitate the process of mastification. Borne foods are tough or bard and can neither bo finely divided nor well mixed with saliva. .Cooking softens these so that the work of the teeth is per formed with greater ease, and the results, so far as the digestibility and the amount of nutriment matter obtained are concerned, are vastly more efficient. Again it is often desirable that tbe food bo chemically changed. . Thus some foods or portions of them are absolutely indigestible in the ; un cooked state. The fibrous tissue of meat, for example, cannot be consid ered a food until by the application of heat it has been changed chem ically to gelatin. Similarly starches, though not entirely indigestible when raw, are changed into a more digestible form by cooking, and the cooked starch, as in bread, is by the process of toasting converted into a new chemical substance called dex trin, which closely resembles sugar both in its chemical properties and in the ease with which it is digested. Again sugar is changed into cara mel, and fats are partially decom posed into other more digestible sub stances. A fourth reason for cooking food is that the warmth which is thus imparted promotes digestion by causing an increased flow of blood to the digestive apparatus, and hence a more copious secretion of the digestive fluids. It is to stimu late tbe flow of digestive juice3 that hot soap is given as the first course at dinner. Asa result of this in creased flow the digestion of the food is well advanced by the time dinner is over. Tbo general stimu lating effect of tea r.nd ccffea is en enhanced " considerably by thoir warmth. The general restil fc cf all . these changes mentioned the develop ment of flavc, tho increased eade of mastication, the chemical jcbanges and the warmth imparted by cook ing is that more nutrient matter is obtained from the. food at the same time that its digestion is promoted. Finally cooking destroyaahy para sites that may ho present; in ! the food. Of these trichinae in pork and the scolex, or encysted head of , the tapeworm, in what ia known as measly beef, are the most common. To show that these are nct so rare, I may mention that between 2 and 3 per cent of all tho hogs slaughtered at tho Chicago stockyards aire found to he infected with trichinsa. , Most food materials serve as favorable media for the propagation and growth of bacteria. Many pf these are harmless, hut we must remem ber that we cannot be sure ; at any time that no dangerous ones are present. As heat destroys bacteria, we are taking fewer chances when we cook cur food than when we do not. Chautauquan. i -. i Feebleness cf Savage Man. Here in South Africa the native races seem to have made no progress for centuries, if indeed they have pot actually gone backward, and the feebleness cf savage man intensifies one's sense of the overmastering strength cf nature. The elephant and the rhinoceros and the giraffe are as much the masters of the soil as is the KafSr, and man has no more right to claim that the land was made for him than have the wild beasts of the forest who roar after their prey and seek their meat from God.

TOO MUCH FRUIT. 0 ' I bad never seen one before. It was ex tremely decorative, and I edmired It very much. Its colors were those of the robes j of Blum's little samsen player on the wall. "Why don't yoa eat it?" asked Polly. The Idea of internally absorbing the beautiful had a strange charm. It was a very large persimmon, but I ate it all, and then X went to bed. i From a ceiling thai crawled and crinkled I watched a cherry colored mandarin swing slowly down on to my bed. From the spot from which be dropped came another and another, all no longer than a pea pod and as dry. Solemnly they squatted on my chest and lifted their hairy arms, in which were twisted rods with - carven, grinning faces. . "" . j Crash! They broke inio a shrill, discord ant song, beating, beating, beating on my ribs. One, near the acx of my heart, would not keep time, and that was worse than all. How the blows hurt,! and how their curled up knees sank deep j into my flesh i The words of the song eceiued to leap forth like little cubes and bop over my skin, burning as they rolled. The pain was un endurable. I drew a great gasp of agony and was free. They were gone. A long vista of graynees resolved itself Into a strange perspective. I was seated in a fragile jinrikisha, but instead of the lusty runner, blue skirted and bandy legged, between the shafts was a monstrous horse, tall to heaven, with stridings that devour ed the road. A voice, warning, portentous, sounded In my ears ; ! "Be thou carcfnlj O careless one, for thou hast that in charge that is precious." I looked down, and beside me crouched a bit of a brown baby, naked and unafraid, whose knob of hair, tied in a tiny brush, painted hieroglyphic in the air with every leap of the lurching Vehicle. By some swift intuition I knew that this prancing, gigantic horse was the pride of the mikado's etablcs and the brown baby the hope of the empire, and that ac cident to either meant a punishment to fit the crime. I looked aheatL, The white slopes of Fusiyama, tho Eacred mountain, lay before us, up which none may pass alive. j On either side oijr way impenetrable pines, ia whoso dark! branches goblins sat and grimaced horribly. On wo rushed. The great fore feet ot the horse struck tbe slope of the forbidden hilL A sudden shock ran through all his body. I stood alone in the road. On the side, his blood dyeing the scanty sed, lay the horse, a deep hole in his quivering side, while in my arms the child lay leaden, gasping. Crowds of other people gathered about us and looked upon me ominously, silently. "Kill this wretched creature in mercy," I begged. They stood unmoved, silent, still, while the horse gazed at me in more than human anguish. Clasping the child, I hurried away, falling, stumbling, cry in 3 aloud for help in vain. Suddenly I stood in a vast room. All about its sidc3 were; ladders of bamboo, fragile and hung by slender threads. In the comers, overhead! and swinging corpse like, were bundles, shapeless, unspeakable. The air was filled with a sickening odor, as of mingled decay and strange spices, pungent and sweot j Slowly the swinging bundles took form, and beneath appeared the outline of a body in a dim and bewil dering Individuality,! ludicrous and horri ble, j Again a voice cried ac voice of authority not to be gainsaid i" Search!" Again I knew that somewhere in this formless im mensity tho little- brown baby was hid, still alive, and could I but find him ere too late I might save our souls alive from I knew not whS. i Instantly he was no longer the heir pf the house of Ban, but mine, my own, that j had lived and loved and lain on my breast, and whose life I would die a million deaths to save, whose agony I would brave the gods to assuage. How I tossed the dreadful bundles about 1 Bow I tore them open ruthlessly, only to ceo a sunken; eye" or gaping mouth! How I clung to the spidcrlike ladders and leaped across chasmlike spaces. At last, among a heap of squalid rags, in a corner where enakes writhed and ran, a Jittle foot peeped out. It moved. -It was warm. I t-e away the clothes as a dog tears at the earth that covers bis quarry and snatch ed the child to my heart. On his bare breast gaped a wide wound, its edges al ready purple and receding, and as I looked I saw the fatal flush spread up and up. Water! Oh, if there were only water! I saw a dull pool at my feet, and, stooping, dashed the icy drops! upon the wound. In vain. . One chance remained to cal back the fleeing soul by name in desperate en treaty. Surely my baby would listen. The word died oni my lips, for the child on my heart changed again as I would have spoken, and what knew I of the name of "the mikado's heir? Let me think. I must think. Did hot some one of that cruel crowd that stared and grinned speak it? I strive; I groan; I cry aloud. The heavy uir sends back my cries hollowly, and as I choke into silence I see the lids flutter and fall. The hope of the empire has gone all too soon to the sacred shades of Fusiyama, and I, I alone, must answer. Alone In the silence and darkness of a cell. I could put Out my hand and feel that the wall was made of some rough woven grass, about M'hlch clung a pene trating odor. In this grass I could.hear the movement of millions of minute in sects, I knew not of what detested shape and kind. I began to pass my hands over these walls In I know not what barren hope of escape Carefully I crept on and on, measuring, comparing, testing. Then I went back and began again. My hands kept slipping off strangely into space. The cell had no shape-dimply dimension. Alast I was no simple onlooker at some splendid revel of primeval nature. All that was in this stupendous scheme was tne, sentient, suffering soul. The helpless, tortured ego was a part of the whole. It froze on those cold, piercing peaks, baked on those plains of arid sand, was tossed in that human sea. was blown on those tempestuous winds. AH this I was, all this I inflicted, all this I bore for a forever, 1 j - . Then the end came. About me, In me, of me, there was only light,"a light that grew and blazed and turned white and grew again till the eyes of both body and tpirit sank in it and were submerged. Out of the light in its ; very glowing heart showed a point more intolerably light. Nearer and nearer it came, in shape now like a live Same, darting forward snake- Jike. Each instant it threatened to touch my staring eyeballi At last one fiery tongue leaped farther. The spell that bound me seemed loosed. With a mad cry of ter ror I put up my hands to brush away these horrors and found them clasped in an other s warm, soft, human. It was Polly possible, provoking Polly. "Whatever is the matter?"
