This is tbe fourteenth day tines oar
meeting begaa. in Musio Hall in Cin
cinnati. The crowds hare grown; the
interest has broadened and intensified
until now the meetings bave taken on
all the phases of a genuine revival. I
am preaching in the morning at Scott
Street Church, in Covington, Kj., and
at night in Musio Hall. I have never
preaohed to more attentive audiences
nor seemingly with better results. We
have now engaged the Music Hall until
the 23d of November. Am sorry that
the meetings must close then, because
tbe Musio Hall is engaged after that
date. Mr. Eicell is leading the musio
and Mrs. Pyron li at the grand piano,
Mr. Eicell is at his beat. The waves
and tones ind (wells of musio in that
great buiding is one of the features of
the meeting. Mr. Excell is a better
leader today than ever before. He
singi more with the spirit and with the
understanding, and tbe people ling the
"Ulory song" sometimes, ana almost
lift the roof from the building. I with
the world could hear the musio of these
meetings. The pastors are lined up in
prayer and effort with the work, and it
it good to be here.
Wife joined me here last Tuesday.
It it a joy to her to be here. She was
in our great meetingi here twenty yean
ago. We all miss Bithop Joyce, who
wat then the leader of the local forces
in those meetings. Hit charming per
sonality and hit enthutiaatio spirit lent
much force to theae meetings. I am
sorry that he could not remain and be
with na in these meetings, but he went
to heaven about three months ago.
I meet hundreds of the converts of
the former meeting; they atill abide in
faith. It is a joy to meet them. Still
we are all young men then; we are
growing gray now. Twenty years makes
a mighty difference ia a community at
well as in a person.
In company with wife and daughters,
I visited the House of Refuge yester
day afternoon by special invitation of
Mr. William Magley, chairman of the
board of control of that inttitution. It
it a benevolence of thit city. There
are five hundred children there, be
tween the ages of five and aixteen years.
It )t the bett regulated and beat discip
lined and the beat run institution I
think I have ever visited. I taw dis
cipline at its beat there. It is an Indus
trial as well as a literary school. It is
emphatically a house of refuge, a place
for children who have no parents, or
have what is worse, worthless father
and mother. It is place alto for chil
dren who have fathers and mothers, but
who are uncontrollable. It it a place
for children who have committed mle-
demeanora. There are three hundred
who have committed misdemeanors.
There are three hundred and thirty
six boyt and one hundred and sixty-five
girls. They are taught handy work of
all kinds, in all klnda of wooda; they
have a ahoe factory there and manu
facture their own ahoea; they have
bakery and they are taught in that line;
they have a printing press and do at
fine work as I ever saw. They do all
their own tailoring, and the building
from garret to cellar it the very quint
esence of cleanliness. The tupertn-
tendent remarked that when you got
children away from dirt you got them
awsy from the devil. He had all the
children come into the chapel, and we
apent two hours in there. The first
thing was all the children aang with
great power "America," my country,
'tis of thee, for they are taught patriot
ism aa well aa musio. The next thing
waa a piece by the brass band, and
those little boyt played that band till
tbey would almost rival Souaa'a band.
They aang as gloriously as you ever
ever heard children sing. They quoted
the Bible like an old deacon; they spoke
and furnished to ua one of the moal en
joyable entertainments from atari to
finish that I have ever witnessed. Tbey
go through with the calisthenics like
machinery and a little puny child is
soon brought np to vigor and health,
and I thought and believed, as I left
that great building that those children
there bad better discipline and better
trainirjg perhaps than 90 per cent, of
those in the homes of onr country,
That is a strong position taken by
science that it takes fifty thousand
years for bituminous coal to mature,
ready for domestic nse. I suppose it
takes one hundred thousand years to
mature anthracite coal in Pennsylvania.
I can get around most anything else
better than I can that coal proposition,
and that makes me want to see Noah.
Maybe a little conversation with Adam,
on that aubject wonld be be better. The
truth it the boys have all quit killing
bears and snakes, and gone to playing
mumble-peg.
Yours truly, -
' Bam P. Jos a.
It is awful hard to believe all the things
you want your children to.

Heajrt) Over Night.
The Independent. .
In.8yraouae, Ohio, on the Ohio
river, town of about 2.000 inhabi
Unit, no negro ia permitted to live,
not even to stay over night under any
consideration. Thia ia an absolute rule
in this year 1905, and it has existed for
several generations. The enforcement
of thia unwritten law is in the banda of
the boys from 12 to 20 yean of age,
while the attempt of a negro to become
a resident of the town ia relisted by the
residents en masse.
When a negro is seen in town during
the day he it generally told of these
traditions, if he ia so ignorant aa not to
know of them already, and is warned
to leave before sundown. It he fails to
take heed he is surrounded at about
the time that darkneaa begins, and it
addressed by the leaders of the gang in
about thia language :
' "No nigger ia allowed to atay in thia
town over night. Get out of here now,
and get out quick."
He aeea from 25 to 60 boyt around
jtbim talking in subdued voioes and wait
ing to see whether he obeys. If he
hesitates little atonet begin to reach
him from unseen quarter!, and aoon
perauade bim to begin his hegira. He
it not allowed to walk, but it told to
'v'ge on hit little dog trot." Tbe com'
mand is alwaya effective, for it ia
backed by atonet in the ready hands of
boys none too friendly.
So long aa be keepa np a good gait
the crowd, which follows jutt at his
heels and which keepa growing until it
sometimes numbers 75 to 100 boys, it
good-natured and contents itself with
yelling, laughing and hurling gibes at
its victim. But let him stop hia "trot"
for one moment, from any cause what
ever, and the atonet immediately take
effect aa their chief persuader. That
they follow him to the farthest limits
of the town, where they send bim on,
while they return to the city with
triumph and tell their fathers all about
the function how fast the victim ran,
how scared he waa, how he pleaded and
promised that he would go and never
return if they would only leave him
alone.
Then the fathers tell how they used
to do the same thing, and thus the
heroes of two wart apend the rest of the
evening by the old campfire, recouping
their several campaigns.
The cause of thit extraordinary race
prejudice ia hard to discern. The ma
jority of the inhabitants are not from
the South, but, strange to say, are of
New England atock.
Since the town was founded, about
1815,' not a single negro family bat
lived in it. About the year 1855 two
negroes were employed as domestics by
a family in the extreme lower end of
the town, practically in the country,
but they did not stay long. Since the
Civil War two attempts bave been made
by negro families to settle in the town,
but both families were summarily
driven out.

A minister walking along a brook
one Sunday observed a boy fishing.
After seeing him catch several fish he

sharp hook into that poor beetle."
The Boy Oh, say, mister, dat

AN OCEANIC RAILROAD.
Baltimore Bun.
Mr. H. M. Flagler, who has been
very largely concerned in the develop
ment of Florida, is about to construct a
railway 128 miles long, from HomejJ
stead to Key Weat, crosting from the
mainland to Key Weat over 100 miles
of islands and sea. From Miami to
Homestead 28 miles have been com
pie ted, the whole distance covered by
pojeot being 154 miles. The work it
remarkable for ita "oceanic" character,
a large part of it being over portions of
the Atlantic on the western aide of Flori-
Lda. There will be five and three-quar
ter milea of concrete viaduct, sayt the
Manufacturers' Record. 81 feet above
aea level. One viaduct, 10,500 feet
long will connect Long Key with Conch
Key; another, 7,300 feet long, will
orosa the knight Key channel; a third,
7,800 feet long, will croaa Moaer Key
channel, and a fourth, 4,950 feet long,
will croaa Bahia Honda Key channel.
finest vaiducts are to ba of reinforced
con ore te in 50 foot apana. Three draw.
bridgea will aggregate 410 feet. Some
65 milea of the distance will be over the
ialanda, or "keya," that lie between
Homestead and Key West. At the
last-mentioned island there will be am'
pie terminal faculties, looking to trade
with Cuba and Panama. Aa the keya
traversed are very fertile, the railway
will develop in them a large fruit and
vegetation industry. The railway ter
minating at Key Weat will be the short
est line, it is held, not only to Havana,
but to tbe Ptcifio via tbe Panama ca

The question of white help for the
hotels is being extensively discussed by
the State papers, and the Chronicle's
articles on the aubject are referred to
with approbation. The Wilmington
Star, concluding a lengthy review, well
says that "in the hotela and hornet of
the State there it a class of work that
opens opportunities to the native North
Carolina girls. Eliminating the laun
dry work and some other clssses of
hotel service, there are plenty of places
that can ba filled by home girls, and
the work is quite as congenial and even
lighter than clerking in stores, with ita
long hours of close confinement, con
tinuoua standing upon the feet, and no
end of walking behind counters."
White service ia coming. Charlotte

Both the New York Central and
Fitteburg & Lake Erie systems are try

advance step in railroad development if
they prove entirely successful. The
former ia conducting testa at ita shops

firing locomotives. The coal is ground
into powder and then, by means of
compressed air, blown into the fireoox
and is comsumed so completely that
there is practically no refuse. The

in the adoption of the device for all the

BEES HATCH Alt'CK BOOB.
Minneapolis Tribune
There ia a Minneapolis man who
claims ft have been nearly at quick to
discover a new way to hatch 4"jt as
Hendy Decker, of Borne, OhlbV who
has hatched a brood of chickena by the
use of a bee hive.
Cadit Berwith, of Upton avenue
north, baa been experimenting on that
line for tome time and first tried hia
luck with turtle egga, which came out
nicely. It seema that two years ago,
while Mr. Berwith waa taking out some
honey, he was struck with the peculiar
moist warmth of the hive in the lower
portions. Now, moist air is a fine
thing for hatching and some weeka
later, having secured some turtle egga
while at Minuetonka, he placed them
in the lower compatment of the hive
and hatched a half doxsn of them.
Thia year he made the experiment
with aome Pekin duck egga, and out
of ten egga placed in the hive he se
cured cine healthy ducks, that are now
cavorting about the yard aa lively aa
can be. The experiment has alto
ahown another thing, and that ia that
there ia very little in the insistent claim
that egga in the course of hatching
must be turned twice every day. It ia
impossible to do so in the bee hive
hatohediea, yet tbey appear to hatch at
well as if handled daily.
Mr. Decker hatched eighteen out of
twenty chicken rggt and Mr. Berwith
nine out of ten duck egga. Mr. Decker
used a cushion under and around tne
eggs and cotton cloths between their
tops and the reat of the hive. Mr. Ber
with used moss below and ' a layer of
cotton batting over the tops of the egga,
which waa taken off on the last day, aa
the egga were picked.
Ternae Race With Beath.
'Death was fast appioachlng," writes
Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa, Fla.,
describing bis fearful race with death,
as a result of liver trouble and heart
disease, which had robbed me of aleep
and of all interest in life. I had tried
many different doctors and several med
icines, bnt got no benefit, until I began
to nse Electrio Bitters. So wonderful
was their effect, that in three days I
felt like a new man, and to-day I am
