New Haven and Hartford railroad which
contemplates the organization of a branch
of the Railroad Young Men's Christian
association in New Haven. The applica-

is fixed at $3. The applicant. in signing
the papers. simply agrees to pay that

Track Athletic association in arranging
for bicycle races separate from the reg-

numbers twenty-three men, 'who have
been in training since Janna ' 22. n-
til the last of February the training was
limited to the gymnasium, but since
then the candidates have been able to do
some outside riding. The sound is under
the leadership of E. Ilill, J r., ”.iT. Eight
single riders and two tundems will be

The locating of a saloon within 200
feet of a church, school-house, post-
oiilcedibrary, etc, is a matter left to the
discretion of the County Commissioners,
wheare supposed to investigate as to
the conditions. Many people suppose
that the law prevents the location of a
saloon within 200 feet of a church or
other public buildings named. but it
does not, and never has. The law on
this subject, as amended by the. Legisla.
are of 1895, reads: “Every such appli—
cation shall specify the particular build-
ing in which spirituous and intoxicating
liquors,are to be sold,and if said building
iswithin 200 feet in a direct line froth
any church edifice or public school, or
the premises pertaining thereto, or any
post-office or any public library, it shall
state the distance therefrom."

at the time we enacted spring weather
make this cornion especially appropriate.
Dr. Talmugc'u text was Psalm uxlvil, 17.
" Who can stand before his ooldf"
The almanac says that winter is ended
and spring has come, but the winds, and
the facts, and the thermometers, in some
place» down to zero, deny it. The psalmlsi
lived in a more genial climate than this.
and yet he must sometimes have been cut
by the sharp weather. In this chapter be
spanks of the snow like wool, the frost like
aches. the hailstones like marbles and de-
m-rlbes the congeallnont of lowest temper-
ature. We have all studied the power of
the heat. llow few of us have studied the
powor of the trust? “Who can stand be-
fore his cold?" This challenge of the text
has many times been accepted.
Oct. if), 1812, Napoleon's great army
began its retreat from Moscow. Ono hun-
dred and fifty thousand men, 50,000 horses,
600 pieces of cannon, 40,000 struggle". It
was bright weather when they started
from Moscow, but won something wrath~
for than the Cossacks swooped upon their
flanks. An army of arctic blunts with
icicles for bayonets and hallstoncs for shot,
and commanded by voice of tempest,
marched after them. the flying artillery
of the heavens in pursuit. The troops at
nightfall would gather into circles and
huddle themselves together for warmth.
but when the day broke they rose not, for
they were dead, and the ravens came for
their morning meal of corpses. The way
was strewn with the rich stalls of the east,

tal. 'An lnvlsiblepownr seized 100,000 men
and buried them (lead into the anowdrlfts
and on the hardsurfnces of the chill rivers

horror which has appalled history was proof
to all ages that it is a vain thing for any
earthly power to accept the challenge of
my text, “Who could stand before his
cold!" In the mltldle of December, 1777,
at Valley Forge, 11,000 troops were, with
trusted ears and tested hands and frosted
feet. without shoes, without blankets, ly-
ing on the white pillow of the snewbank.
Frigld Honors.
5. As during our civil war the cry was,
”On to Richmond!" when the troops were
not ready to march, so in the Revolution-
ary war there was a demand for wintry
campaign until Washington lost his equi-
librium andwroteempbatlcally, "I assure
those gentlemen it is easy enough seated
by a good fireside and in comfortable
homes to draw out campaigns for the
American army, but I tell them it is not
so easy to lie on a bleak hillside, without
blankets and without shoes." Oh, the
frigid horrors that gathered around the
American army in the» winth of 1777!
Valley Forge was one of the tragedies of
the century. Ilcnnmbod, senseless, dead!
"Who can stand before his cold!" “Not
we,” say the frozen lips of slrJohn Frank-
lin and his men, dying in arctic explora-
tion. “Not we," answer Schwutka and
his crew, falling back from the fortresses
of fee which they had tried in vain to
capture. "Not we," say the abandoned
and crushed decks of the Intrepid, the Re.
slstance and the Jeannette. “Not we." say
the procession of American martyrs re-
turned heme for American sopulture, De
bong and his men. , The highest pillars of
the earth are pillars of ice—Mont Blane,
Jungfrau, the Matterhorn. The largest
galleries of the world are galleries of ice.
some of the mighty rivers much of the
year are in captivity of ice. The greatest
sculptors of the ages are the glaciers, with
arm and hand and chisel and hammer of
ice. The cold is itnperlakand has a crown
of glittering crystal and is seated on a
throne of ice, with foot stool of ice and
scepter of ice. Who can tellthe sufferings
of the winter of 1433, when all the birds
of Germany perished. or the winter of 1658
iu'Englnnd, when the stages rolled on the
Thames and temporary houses of mer-
chandise were built on the ice. or the win-
tor of ltl2l, in America. when NcW‘York
harbor was frozen over and the heaviest
teams crossed on the ice to Staten Island?
Then come down to our own winters,
when there have been so many wrapping
themselves in furs, or gathering them-
selves around fires. or thrashing their
arms about them to revive circulation-
the millions of the temperate and the
arctic zones who are compelled to confess,
”None of us can stand before his cold."

Now, this being such a cold world, God
sends out influences to warm it. Iam

men like that general Would it take to
warm the world up? The vast majority
iI us are anxious to get more blankets,
.vhether anybody else is blanketless or
lot. Look at the fellow feeling displayed
n the rocky defile between Jerusalem and
ierlcho in Scripture times. Here Is a man

good Samaritan says, “You must get on

Christian Sympathy.
Now they have come up to the tavern.
The Samaritan, with the help of the land-
lord, assists the sick and wounded man to
dismount and puts him to bed. The Bible
says the Samaritan staid all night. In the
morning, I suppose, the Samaritan Mont
in to luck how his patient was and ask
him how he passed the night. Then he
comes out, the Samaritan comes out, and
says to the landlord: “Hercis money to
pay that man's board, and, if his conva-
lescence is not as rapid as I hope for, charge
the whole thing to me. Good morning,
all.” Ila gets on the beast and says, “Go,
along, yen boost, but go slowly, for those
bandits sweeping through the land may
have somebody else wounded and half
dead." Sympathy! Christian sympathyi
How many such men as that would it take

with its plants and trees and fruits of

that the church is the institution that pro-
poses warmth? I have been for 27 year!

Warmer architecture, warmer hymnology,
warmer Christian salutatlon. All outside
Siberian winter we must have it aprlnce'l
hothouse. The only institution on truth
today that proposes to nmke the world
warmer. Universities and nimervutorles,
they all have their work. They propose
to make the world light, but they do not
propose to make the world warm. Geology
informs us, but it is as cold as the rock it‘
hammers. The telescope shows where the
other worlds are, but. an astronen r is
chilled while looking through it. hris-
tinnlty tells us of strange combinations
and how inferior affinity may be overcome
by superior afllnit-y, but it cannot tell how
all things tvork together for good. World-
ly philosophy has a great splendor, but. It
is the splendor of moonlight on an iceberg.
The church of God proposes warmth and
hope—warmth for " the expectations,
warmth for the sympathies. Oh, I am so
glad that,thuse great altar fires have been
kindled. Come in out of the cold. ,Come

The World's Fireplace.
Notwithstanding all the modern inven-
tiona for heating I tell you there is noth-
ing so full of geniailty and sociability as
the old fashioned country fireplace. The
neighbors were to come In for a winter
evening of sociability. In the middle of
the afternoon, in the best room in the
house, some one brought in a great buck-
log, with great strain, and put it down on
the back of the hearth. Then the lighter
wood was put on, armful after nrmful.
Then a shovel of coals was taken from an-
other roem and put under the dry pile,
and the kindling began. and the cracking,
and It rose until It becemeureuring flame,
which filled all the room with gcnlallty
and was reflected from the family pictures
on the wall. Then the neighbors came in
two by two. They set down, thnir faces
to the fire, which ever and anon was stir-
red with mugs and medicated on the and-
i'rona, and there were such times of rustic
repartee and story telling and mirth as the
black stove and blind register never
dreamed of. Meanwhile the table was be-
ing spread, and so fair was the cloth and
lo clcun was the cutlery they gllatcn and
glisten in our mind today. And then the
best luxury of orchard and farmyard was
, roasted and prepared for the table to meet
the appetites sharpened by the cold ride.

The lnltnn.
European writers describe the sultan an
.i very suspicious man. Granting that he
is I0, show me one man who would not
become suspicious under similar cit-cum
itanoes. There are the ambassadors of the
dx great powers, each trying to play the
game of his own country and repeatedly
misrepresenting the ideal of his rival.
The sultan believed and uuflured. Chris-
tian Europe has done little to abate his
dimcultlos. When he knows a permn,
he believes him, but. unfortunately the
person does not always deservsto be trust-
ed. There is another popular error re.
gurdlag the sultau'u character. It ll be-
lieved that his inajuty yields only through
four: hence some people always advise the
British ambassador to bully the sultan.
No greater ,tnlutake could ever be oonnnlt-
ted by diplomats. I. asked aTurklsh gen-
tleman who Is intimately connected with
his majesty how it was that French and
Russian diplomacy wweeded better than
British diplonmoy, more mpeclally when
the English are known to be the best
friends of Turkey. He assured me that
somehow or other the French and the Rus-
sian ambassadors manage to become pri-
vate friends of his majesty. Thosultau
hates official pressure of whatever kind.
The French and the Russians get many
things done in the name of friendship
more than in the name of their govern-
ments. ills majesty is an extremely kind
hearted man, and when an appeal is made
to his friendship, or to his generosity, he
cannot resist it.
On the other hand, he isnvery sensitive
monarch, and he resents any encroach»
ments upon his dignity as an independent
sovereign. I wish Englishmen would
take a little more pains than they do to
learn oriental nature. The sooner the pol-
icy of bullying oriental monarchs is abol-
ished the better it will be for this country.

I should be sorry to have this interpret-
ed asan approval of all or nearly all of
what passes under the name of college
athletics. It is one thing to train the body
for the sake of the limb and it is another
thing to train the body for the sake of the
body. I regret that there is so much ten.
llency among college authorities to shape
the physical curriculum to the end of pro-
ducing physical experts—football. baseball,
rowing match professionals. That kind
of thing is n craze at present, and it is a
pity that among our college presidents and
professors so nmny have so far succumbed
to the tannin as to be willing to lndorse it
is a form of advertisement and as a draw
lng card.
China Waking Up.
China is poaltivoly waking up. She is
rubbing her eyes and yawning and stretch-
ing herself. The Japanese war gave her
inch 0 terrible shaking that she has deter-
mined to do something to prevent a like
disaster in the future. It seems as though
civilization were being literally cratnmed
down her throat, and she takes to it about
as kindly as a boy takes to a dose of salts
and scuba. ‘ She has engaged the service
of a lot of European military officers, who
will try to bring the army up to some sort
of discipline and efloetlvcnosa. She is go-
ing to build roads wide enough for two
vehicles to pass each other. and for the
first time in her history will be heard the
voice of the teamster on his way to inur-
ket. The few railroads new existing are
to be repaired and others are to be'built.
Telephones and telegrapbs are to spring up
and magical changes are to take place.
Poor China! It took an awful drubbing
to make her see that stupidity can't hold
its own against enterprise. and that fif-
teenth century machinery doesn’t work
well against smokejeas powder and repeat-
ing mica—New York Herald.
, Astor's How Editor. ,
Sir Douglas Straight, the new editor of
The Pall Mall Gazette, was called to the
bar in “165. After a practice of some
years at the Old Bailey, he want to Allu-
habud as a judge, whence he returned in
[891 with a pension. He is by no‘meuns
an amateur in journalism, as is shown by
a good story told of him by the late Mon-
tague Williams in his “Leaves of a Life."
Sir Douglas and Mr. Williams were close
friends. After leaving Harrow, Straight
went to London with a view to making a
little money, and soon turned his attention
to the newspapers. An evening sheet called
The Glowworm had just been started, and
the young Harrovian became one 'of its
principal contributors—one of the must ac-
tive members of the staff, we should say—
for one day Mr. Williams saw the young
man, such in the story, go up to two new--
boys anti soundly box‘ their earn, their of-
fense being that they had failed tomll out ‘
