they do not forget tho Fatherland or the
man whose name is associated with the
fulfillment of tho dream of Gorman
jjnito. The ceremonies are certain to be
participated in by many not of German
birth.
It is a good sign to see the men of
West Virginia moving to organize such
a military force as the .State should hare.
Four regiments will not bo excessive,
and after they shall have been formed
an abundance of good material will remain.
"Justice," a member of tho First
| .Regiment, submits some thoughts which
Jmve point. Tho men who have not
I waited for National aid are certainly en!
titled to the first consideration. Thoy
have given their time and their money,
and they should be well remembered.
Tiik story told by Stato Senator Scott,
na tiio result of his observations in the
West it only in confirmation of others
to the same effect told by reliable men.

"booms." and unless a new crop of
temJer-fcet from the east can bo found,
Jlicre is no salvation for the woodonliaulswho
have permitted themselves
to Ik> loaded up with town lots at fabulous
prices*
In West Virginia the caso is very different.
A man with sense enough to go
at large can hardly make a mistake. lie
may invest where the appreciation of
values will not go with a jump, as fn a
"booming" western town; but then, too,
tlie bottom is not going to fall out, for it
rests on inexhaustible beds of coal und
timber upon which this generation will
not make any considerable impression.
Ami when the timber shall have been
removed, up will come the blue grass,
the best pasturage in the world.
Mr. Klkins remarked in the convention
that for money-making West Virginia
is nnequaled to-day, and Mr. Elkins
knows all about the }<reat "Went

NOT KUNXIXti SMOOTHLY.
TIii'MUIh Hill Hnviiifcn Tough Time of It lo
Washington, I). C.f March, 18.?-The I
/irst of the evening sessions of tho House J
Ways and Means Committee to consider I
the Mills bill l>egan at 8 o'clock last
night. It lasted until after 11 o'clock,
and w:is not entirely harmonious. "The
llopulilican members assumed the ofFenfive
from the start, with ? proposition
that tlu> Democraticmajority should furzh'hIi
a reason for each of the changes
proposed to bo made in tho tariff, in
view of the fact that they had not permitted
the minority members to participate
in the conference# which it was
staled the majority had had with the
Manufacturing intercuts.
The Democrats replied by a refusal to
comply with the request, declaring that
it w'jis not made in good faith, but in the
part of a plan to delay action on the bill.
A wrangle ensued at this point. some of
the Ui'public-ans arraigning their Democnitic
colleagues for a violation of comniitto
etiquette in charging other jnem.hers
with bad faith.
After this had gone on for some time,
"M r. Scott suddenly called attention to
the fact that an hour and a quarter had
been consumed without getting through
two lines of the hill. At thntrate hevgurrd
out that tho entire bill would- require
(121) days for its consideration.
Mr. lteed remarked that the gentlo
man wan wrong in his aritiiincuc, iur, u i
it took an hour anil a quarter to accomplish
nothing, it would take intinity to
Jinish the bill.
The proceedings ran roughly after this
fruition until adjournment, when "salt,"
the second item in the hill, had been included
in the free list by a party vote.

WHAT Mil. IIA Ml Y SAYS.
A dispatch from Detroit says: Join
McMinn, chief of the local division o
Locomotive Engineers, told a reportc
yesterday afternoon that the rei>ort ofai
impending strike of the engineerifonthi
Michigan Central was incorrect, and tha
he did not think such a strike wouii
occur. T. B. Barrv, of the General Executive
Board of the Knights of l4ibor
nassed through here yesterday for th?
S'orth. He said the "Q." strike wasal
ready a virtual failure, and that the mer
would neversucceed unless they tied uj
every road handling tho company's cans
Said he: "The Brotherhood should ti(
up any road as soon as it undertakes t<
handle 'IJ' ears. This iwthe only way i?>
which they can win thin light, as tin
'Q' system is now able to get along with
out them, but there are not seal
engineers enough toman the other roaii
if a general tie-up takes placed It woulc
bo folly for the general of an army t<
allow one regiment to be annihilated ir
an engagement when he has an army ir
reserve which if brought to the from
would settle the fight in his favor ii
short order."
Tho corresj>ondent asked if this were
done if it would not paralyze the busi
ness of the country.
"Well, all I have got to say as to that,'
said.Barry, "is that if the present policy
of catering to 'public opinion' is continued
the stomachs of many of the engineers
and their families will beconn
paralyzed with hunger. My experience
ban taught mc tliut Uo?i ami put)
lie opihioh arc with those on- top, anc
inv advico to workingmeri in general it
not to strike until they have to, l>yt wher
they do Ktrike to lick the other fellow
because it is either lick or get licked."
Chief Arthnr was asked to-night whal
lie thought of the decision of tffe Sant<
Fe men to return to work. "I am-ghu
they went back," ho said, "I advise*
them to go back because I did not tliinl
there was sufficient reason for a strike
I communicated with Mr. Conroe, thi
chairman of the grievance committee
and asked him to request the men to re
turn to work and then come to Cliieag<
to settle the matter with Mr. Smith."
TROUDLI HARMONIZED.
The threatened clash between tin
Pestolllcc Department and the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe company was avcrtei
by amicable agreement early to-day, be
fore the strike was declared oil* by tin
Brotherhood. T. E. Nash, lien
eral Superintendent of the ltail
way Mail Service, said this c\len
ing, in explanation of the matter, tlm
Vice President Smith has directed UL
men to see that the mails were movee
promptly over the Company's lines anc
that whenever they found it impossiblt
to get engineers to move passenger am
freight, biit who wero willing to liaiil tin
mails, that they be ordered out with tin
mails only. '

sented the prosecuting attorney a paper

He then handed it to the Judge who returned
it with instructions to submit
to his attorneys. He was evidently desirous
of making a confession to any

The Fifth in His Lenten Cours<
on the Holy Eucharist.
CHRIST'S OWN WORDS QUOTEI
To Show thai Truth of the Doctrine o
the Ileal Proiience of HIh Ilotly
and Blood in the Iireud
and Wine.
At 8t. Joseph's Cuthedral yesterdaj
beforu dificuHsinir the Institution of tin
Eucharist, the Bishop remarked that he
would anticipate the subject of nexl
Sunday's lecture by referring to and explaining
a passage from one of the early
Fathers. Attempts, he said, have been
made by Protestant controversialists, as
for instance by Bishop Hopkins, to show
that St. Cyprian speaks of the wine in
the chalice after consecration, as then
only a figure of the blood of Christ. The
English translators of St. Cyprian's letter
toCoecilius, one of the Bishops of Africa,
seek also to leavo that impression, but a
cursory perusal of that letter is enough
to disabuse any honest reader of such
mi impression.
What is the object of that letter? St.
Cyprian's<.object is to correct certain
Abuses of which he had learned. One
Df these abuses was the practice of conderating
the chalice without mingling
water with the M ine, according to the
Apostolic tradition. In admonishing his
suffragan! Bishop .Coceilius, to enforce
the observance of this tradition, he nut11
rally explains the signification of this
soinmingling of water with the sacramental
wine. As the wine itself is the
element chosen by Christ u? the external
sign of this sacrament?the sign by
which Christ's blood is shown to be
truly present?so the water, savs St.
Cyprian, is intended to signify the
Christian people; and their commingling
in the chulice shows the intimatd
union established between them and
Christ. He also dwells on the union
which should exist between all the
members of Christ's hotly?a uniou symbolized,
ho says, by the grains of wheat
composing the bread used for sacramental
purposes.
All this is instructive, but does not regard
tho nature of the sacrament itself.
In this very letter St. Cyprian buys:
uurist onereu 10 uou, uio muier, mat
same sacrifico which Melchisedoch had
afferod, that is, bread and wine; namoly,
liis own body and blood."
Speaking of apostates who approach
communion without having performed
ratable penance, in order to manifest
tiia horror for their crime, ho savs:
4Thev Boizo on the body of the Lord, ?
'Violence is offered by them to his liody
ind blood." "Whoever will read the enire
work of St, Cyprian Do Lapsls, from
frhich these extracts are taken, will bo
latisfted that the Saint not only believed
in the Real Presence, but that ho boro
estimony to several miracles by which
inworthy communicants were divinely
punished.
Then, after a brief summing up of his
our preceding lectures, tho Bishop expounded
the words of the Institution of
he Eucharist as given by three of the
our Evangelists. The bishop argued
hat the institution thus recorded was
,ho fulfillment of tho promise made by
he Savior in John vi., and explained in
lis fourth lecture,
The Bishop quoted extensively from
he Gospel to show that our l/)rd was in
ho habit of explaining to hiB Apostles
x>th tho application to IJijuself 01 many
ii ilio uiiuiuui. i/pus uiiu jirujiui-i-iVB, uim
he more important truths and myseries
of the new law. There is reawn,
therefore, to suppose that Ho did
lot make tho Eucharist an exception,
hough he could have, in an instant, en*
ielitcned their minds upon this, or any
Jtlier of his doctrines. Moreover tho
lolcmn promig) in Jolid vi, could not
lave been forgotten; yet on tho eve of
ho Saviour's death, it had not boon fulHied.
lie is now seated for tho last time in the
nidst of his friends, his chosen Apostles,
[t was near tho hour whon ho was to
liseard all proverbs (John xvi, 25).
'Now thou speakest plainly and speakest
io parable," (2UtU v.) It is but a few
lours before his death?when men are
lot wont to use figurative language; lie
s making his last will?and in sucn doclmento
men discard all metaphors, and
;mploy the plainest words to convey
heir wishes. In his omniscience, he
slettly sees , that tho greater number of
lis followers in every uge and country,
will, in tho simple fulness of their faith,
iccept his testamentary declaration in
he literal, obvious seuso of his words,
In the light of thews circuinstauces. must
>e heard the words of tho Divino Savior
natitutinij tho great sacrament of tho
lisponsatlbn. 'This is my body: this is
my blood."
Catholics, remarked the Bishop^ accept
these words in their literal, obvious
Mt'unuiK. ii *ucy nut ouiy may, UMV
nutt be understood figuratively, surely
the burden of proof rests on those who
maintain a fhjurativo sense. Thin in selfavident,"
and yet in assailing our doetrine,
Protestants ore too tnuoh in the
habit of arauing ah if we had to prove
that Christ meant just what his
wards import. Here tho Bishop
sailed attention to tho objection based
an tho words; Ml will not drink, etc."
Matt, xxvi, 29, Bat which is tho proper
place for these words? Do they oolong
i/'cr or btfort tho words of tho institution?
St, Luke puts then beforo, and
refers thorn to tho Paschal Supper,
tvhich immediately preceded the institution
of the Kucharist. If Protestants
rjuote from one evangelist, why may we
not follow another? Moreover, the correctness
of St. Luke's location of those
words seems clearly strengthened by this
fact, that ho qualifies tho "eating"
us well as the "drinking" connected
With tho Paschal Supncr (xxli. 16-18);
whilst St. Matthew ana St. Mark do not.
Even granting that the words, "fruit of
tho vine," refer to tho contontsof the
Kueharisfin chalice, Catholics see no
more difficulty in giving to the Saviour's
Sacramental Blood, the name of the form
in which it is present, than they do in
calling tho l>oay of Christ by the name
of the species under which it is present.
But they cannot understand how any
Christian can dare say that oar Lord
contradicted himself by declaring almost
in the same breath: "This which is in
the chalice is my blood of tho New
Testament, which shall lie shed for the
remission ot sins," and "this which is
in tho chalice is not my blood, hut it
wine,"
IIow murttno A polities have understood
our Lord? Can we ascertain?
What principles should guide ua in our
inquiry? M bottom, what do tho arguments
ol Protestants imply? They
imply, in the Apostles, a repugnance tc
believe what appears an impossibility,
an absurdity. Jiow, Catholics argue thai
their wholu training in the school ol
Christ hail mailo upon their minds the
very opposite ImpresHion. By witness
ing Ills miracles, which set aside no com
Rletely all nature's laws, and by hcarini
joir Master so constantly and so strong
ly exhorting them to place unlimitei
confidence in His almighty power, the;
must havo conio to this conclusion, tha
nothing was impossible to Him. Thi
is the truth He was ever inculcating
"With God all things are possible,
(Matt, xix., 20), Cut It then ue rcusoi
I ably supposed that, on this occasion,
I they argued on a principle the very re'
verse of that which the Saviour had been
at so much pains to implant indellibly
in their minus? Can we imagine them
0 reasoning thus: "Though our Master
says, 'This is my body,' it cannot be
true, because to our minds it seems impossible?"
v Against this strong presumption in
' favor of the literal meaning having been
unhesitatingly accepted by the Apostles,
1 Protestants make a very weak reply.
The Scriptures, they say, often employ
figurative language; therefore these
words: "This is my body," not only
may, but must be figurative. It does
not at all follow, that they must, because
they may. Yet that is the illogir
cal inference usually drawn by Protest,
ant controversialists.
Now whilst it is very true that figures or
' tropes abound in Scripture, will any '
. scholar maintain that they aro used 1
. without reganl to the rules governing the t
use of all such lanimaee? In the use of .
well-known figures, there is no difficulty.
But can a writer coin a figure and use it 1
without first informing his readers what i
he means to represent under his new 5
coiedn figure? Of course not. A 8tut
ute may recoivc the name of him whom
it represents. Everybody understands c
that expression; but if a man points to I
a shapeless block of marble and calls it r
Cicero or Wcuhington, will he be under- .
stood ? Hut. was bread an already wellknown
figure of Christ's body? Even v
the Protestant will answer, no; but
Christ constituted it a figure of his l>ody ?
at tlio Last Supper! Then it is a new
coined figure: and Christ, to be under- u
stood, must inform His hearers that, liic s
et nunc, He is coining or instituting a I
new figurative expression. But He gives c
no such warning. ^
Tho Bishop then reviewed a large o
number 01 figurative expressions b
commonly adduced as parallel g
or Himilar to tho words of the b
institution, and pointed outin what re- if
spect each of them differed most com- tl
nletely from the words used by Christ at T
his last supper. For instance: "The tl
rock was C'nrist," (1 Cor. xj. But St.
Paul says it was a spiritual rock, and 0
that these things were done in figure, p
"These are the two covenants." (Gal. iv.
24). But St. Paul tells us ho is there *
speaking allegorieally or figuratively, w
"I am tho door?I am the vine." Christ ti
himself carefully explains these figures, d
Moreover: "I am the door," does not fi
mean "I represent a door," as the wools: a
"This is my body';" neither do the tl
words, "I am a vino" mean, "I am a d
figure of a vino." Christ does not de- ri
mean himself into the symbol or figure ai
of any national object. Moreover he tl
d(M? not unv "T nm thin dnnr." "T nm o:
that vine but he does Bay, "This is p
my body." Therefore the passages are tc
entirely dissimilar. ii
If we may put a figurative meaning on u
the Scripture phrases to adopt them to n
our own preconceived views, the Bible S
inn prove no Christian doctrine. On it
that elastic principle, the Unitarian sees h
no proof of Christ's divinity in the A
words: "And the Word was God." He u
will argue, yes, a figure or image of God, ai
and he will back up liis position by
quoting I Cor., iv. 4 and Col. 1.15. 8
Next Sunday afternoon, the Bishop h
will conclude this Lenten course by pro- a
during the testimony of the early church t(
in support of the doctrine of the real w
presence of Christ's body and blood in al
the sacrament of the Eucfiarist. a

THE FRIGHTFUL MISHAP
To a PwwcnKcr Train on tho Savonnah,
Florida & Western Railroad
? Prominent People
Among tho Victims.
Charleston, S. C., March IS.?At (1:40
yesterday morning the 11 rat section of
tho southbound West India fust mail
;rain crashed through the treading just
ifter crowing tho Hurricane river, 75
niles south of Savannah, on the Savonlali,
Florida <k Western Railway. As
aras learned 25 persons were killed and
Ml injured. Of the wounded, 10 are la
nee, zu wnito male passengers ami 0
hildren. Tbo spot in one mile east of
Jlackshear, Pierce county, Ga. Tbo
oiiil there crosses IIurricantrTiver, aiul
>eyond it is a long stretch of trestle
pork.
The train left Savannah at 7 o'clock,
itandard time. It was composed of an
ngino, a combination baggage and
moking car, one passenger coach, two
'uJIman sleeping cars and the private
ar of President Wilbur, of the Lehigh
'alley Railroad, The engine passed
ver safely, but the rest of the train
roke through aud fell 10 feet to the
round below. Before reaching the
ridge the trains always slow up, and it
j supposed that the speed at which
iio train was running was too high,
he combination coach is rejKjrted to bo
tie first one which struck the ground,
n it fell the passenger coach, the sleeprs
and a special car in whiqn a private
arty was traveling.
The scene at the moment after the wreck
'as heartrending. The lower coaches
ere smashed well nigh to pieces. Formate
were those passengers to whom
eatli came instantly. Every coach was
lied, and hardly a passenger esnpfcu
without some injury. When
io wreck was partly cleared away, the
iBastor, serious as it was, was less horblo
than it was feared. Physicians
nd citizens hurried from Blackshear to
io scene of the wreck as soon as the
tiginccr, who ran on to the village, reorted
the disaster. Messages were sent
) Superintendent R. Cf. Fleming, who
nmediatelv wired to Waycross and Jesp
for physicians. A wrecking train was
rnde up in the ynrd right away, and
uperintendent Fleming, with Dr. Willim
Duncan, the road physician, and a
irgo force of men, started for the scene. .
iU hour later another train was made
p. It cnrrrnl out physicians and an
ilditional ioree of men and coffins.
This is the 11 rst severe accident the
aviuinah, Florida & Western road has
ad. The number of dead aggregates 25,

MRS. BARRY'S LECTURE
I inn xrmivft' Aum-mmy unu uiNt Kvcnine
to n Clocwl Crowd.
Mrs. L. M. Barry, one of the principal
[nights of l^alior's lecturers, addressed
nopen meeting last night at Trades
.ssembly lmll. There were about one
undred and fifty ladles and gentlemen
resent. Mrs. Barry spoke for nearly
svo hours nn<J was listened to with careal
attention and much interest. She it*
pleasant spoken fair, thoroughly conoreant
with the topic she
nlks about. She talks earnestly
nd forcibly, in a blunt manner and
u such a way that her hearers never lose
nterest in what she is saying. She told
ler audience lust night what the grand
irinciples were upon whirl) the order of
Cnights of Labor was founded, and
ventinto an elal>oration of them. Hpeakng
of labor troubles, she wiid the cause
tf them all won ignorance. Tho
emedy lies in knowledge?educaion,
accompanied by legislation, arbitration
and co-operatipn. The workngmen
must make public sentiment
nvor him l>efore ho can bono tn
limsclf, and lie cannot win that sent:*
ncnt by condemning in others what ho
Iocs himself. Why should ho cry down
in employer who black-list# some of his
unployes, while the employe black-lists
loine of his fellow .
Mrs. Harry made an eloquent appeal
for women who work for low wages;
working in largo cities, women who
make only S3 r. week must sin to live.
She lagged that the men in their efforts
to hotter themselves overlook not tho
women. She urged that workmen cooperate
with each other by purchasing
the necessaries made by those who cooperated
with lnl>or. To do this slopsnop
goods must not be purchased when
union goods are on the market at tin#
same prices.
