From personal experience I testify The fact that the late Thomas B. Reed left an estate of (431,000, after all indebtedness had been discharged, waa a matter of surprise to people generally, writes William El Curtis Mr. in the Chicago Record-HeralReed always pretended to be very poor, but some of hla intimate frienda were convinced long ago that hla poverty waa an affectation, because they knew of large fees received by him from time to time for legal services and literary work. He never wrote a line or made a speech for nothing. Each of the many articles which from time to time appeared in the magazines from his pen brought him (500, and I know of one Instance at least In which he received (100. from a New York newspaper for an Interview he prepared with himself upon a current topic. His lectures brought him (500 a night, and occasionally in large cities like New York and Boston he received (1,000. The year before he left Congress he delivered five lectures In one week, for which he received a check for (3,500. He estimated hla legal services at a very high value, and unless his clients made a bargain with him in advance they were sure to be surprised when they received their bills. There is a story that, while In London some years ago, he Charged John V. and C. B. Farwell of Chicago (5,000 for giving some Information to their English solicitor about the laws of the United States bearing on the sale of their Texas lands, and I know where he made a life enemy of one of his closest friends by sending him a bill for advice given on a legal question In what was supposed to be a friendly conversation. -- was d audience Itev.

The lesson preceding the sermon was from the fourteenth chapter of Luke. It Is a beautiful subject, and the lesson therein tuught is applicable In this day. Mr. Gosehn's text wus from Second Timothy and related to exhortation. He said the subject of prayer had engrossed the attention of people In all ages, and the true interpretation of it had been misunderstood by many. It bad been said by some that to pray was the evidence of a weak Intellect By some, who had asked for some definite thing and then, not receiving it had been thought to be In vain. This was a misconception of Its true meaning; prayer should not be degraded Into begging. It was useless to pray that natural laws be set aside. If one sat In a draught they were In danger of taking cold In spite of prayer. On the other hand, some made extravagant statements as to the result of prayer. He said for the past week he had exhausted everything he could And on the subject from ancient to modern times and had found that much that had been claimed as the result of prayer was sheer nonsense. To ask for something definite was to degrade prayer, and whoever did it would fail to find it Real prayer wae the communion with God. Some scientists had called it reflex action, but thie he did not bellep He said all things being equal, the father who prayed was fen times the better father than the one who did not pray, and the son ten times the better son who prayed. By prayer one rose into a higher and purer atmosphere. We should be glad that some of our prayers are not answered. He defined prayer as the beautiful pathway which leads from earth to heaven. Fifty years ago, he said, there was a large class whose prayers weri emotional and their religion likewise, who by their fervor, worked themselves into a state of exaltation. In later ywu life had grown larger and better, and a better conception obtained of true meaning-anpurpose of prayer. He clocd by relating the incident of the yeung man who lay dying in a Ixmdon hospital, an-- l ' v hosx- - countenance bore evidence of peace and resignation.

He liegan by saying that it gave him pleasure to bear testimony to the truth and divinity of the word. He was glad that he nad been abroad, and said Ms work had greatly benefited him, even If he had not been a means In Hold's bunds to bring many of those he had met In foreign lands to the truth. At the close of his remarks Mrs. Mary Farley sang a beautiful solo, and then H. II. Rolapp delivered an address He opened his reon 'Testimony." marks by saying that he recognised full well that there were many men and women who had spent their lives in the service of the Lord and that anything he might say would be nothing new, but could strengthen what was already known. He spoke of Mr. Stevens mission and the purpose of missions generally. They were to hear the that gospel of Jesus testimony Christ had been restored by the Latter-Da- y Saints through Joseph Smith. Other denominations accused the Mormon people of being arrogant and dogmatic In their belief. This he denied and said that those who made that accusation were not familiar with it He asked if It was reasonable to suppose that the thousands and thousands whose word wus accepted for six days in the week could perjure themselves on the seventh, and it would be perjury if they were not sincere In their belief. He said the Latter-Da- y Saints claimed to have a knowledge of the truth, and that that knowledge came from God and a study of the scriptures. Knowledge meant to have a clear understanding. Evidence existed which, if investigated, would convince the most prejudiced. There were many who, while they admitted that there was such a place as China, or that Abraham and Isaac had lived, would not believe that an angel could come to earth. The same doubt had existed at the time of Christ, and he alluded to the temptation. He spoke of prayer and ita efficacy, and said prayers were hardly ever answered In the way they were asked to be, and that God worked In a mysterious way, but not in an unnatural way, and so it was with testimony Whatever God did, he did through divine and natural law. The speaker's remarks were Illustrated with scriptural quotations and readings, and Interspersed with anecdotes.

The first challenge from Sir Thomas was presented in person by a committee from the Royal Ulter Yacht club on September 8, 1898, after some correspondence between the two clubs and the challenger. The second challenge came on October 8, 1900, and the third October 16, 1902, with the request that the races be sailed in August, when It was believed that the yachts would be favored with stronger and steadier breezes. The result showed that they were little better than when the races were salld a month later. The ten months notice required by the deed of gift for a challenge has been waived heretofore, so perhaps Sir Thomas will take hla full limit of time, and not challenge until late In November, or even December, by which time he may havs completed arrangements with George L. Watson, who, It has been reported, Is willing to try his hand at another challenger. American yachtsmen declare that Watson should be the most likely man In Great Britain to design a ninety-foyacht, for he has had a greit deal more experience with large racing yachts than Fife, moreover, the yachts he has sent for the cup have done the best work of all that have crossed the Atlantic for that purpose. Watson designed the Th'stle in 1887, Valkyrie I In 1889, Valkyrie II In 1992, Valkyrie III in 1894 and Shamrock II In 1901. Thee hallenge for the Thistle did not come ur.t.l March of 1887, and the race with the Volunteer was sailed In September. Lord Dunraven's challenge for Valkyrie II was received in November, 1892. She met the Vigilant in October, 1898. Wauw.i was also the designer cf the Uritv.nli. a notably fast cutter, now iw.ul by King EdShore, now ward VII, and the Dist.-ircalled the Kariad.

London Girl Found End Does Not Al- ways Justify Means. Decidedly queer objects have led liondon hired girls" to rob their mistresses of late, tbe quaintest being that of a damBel of 18, who stole $2.50 in order to get a Bible. The girl had gone In for the Bible, which was an especially luxurious one, issued by a London publisher on the Installment plan. She was to pay 2.50 a month and had done so twice. When the time came to pay the third installment, however, the slavey found herself short, so, rather than lose the Book of Holy Writ, she stole half a sovereign out of his mistress's desk and was arrested in consequence. A police magistrate let the girl off after Impressing her with the fact that the end does always not Justify the means. Temperance Postal Cards. There are temperance fanatics in France as well as in other parts of the world, a fact which is shown by M. Cap Martin, of Paris, who has had half a million picture postal cards printed, illustrating the evils of drunkenness. They have such titles as Death In The Drunkards Doom. the Bottle and The Drink Fiend," and the author suggested they might drunkards. he posted to confirmed Two or three slander actions have already been started by people who have received the cards, and the recipient is being proceeded against for violently assaulting a sender. Industrial School for Negroes. The Rev. H. W. Jameson, pastor of the colored Baptist church at Madison, Wls., Is starting an Industrial school for children of hla race. The hoys will be taught carpentry and the tudlmenta of other trades, and the girls will learn cooking, housekeeping and sewing. Twenty pupils already have been enrolled. Long and Short Surnames. An investigation to discover the shortest surname seems to show that Mr. By, possesses It Of course there are others equally short In pronunciation though weighted with a superfluous letter. Such la the name of Dr. Goe, the recently retired Anglican bishop of Melbourne. George Ade, the writer, belongs to the Uat la another example. The Nye premier of New South Wales, Sir John See, has certainly established a .record for brevity In this connection among prime ministers. Short surnames naturally suggest long ones. Scotland seems to supply a fair share of the latter. Gentlemen who In these busy times have to write or Osbaldlstane at the ends of their letters are certainly entitled to sympathy.
