News of the Week.

“Tidings of these things came.”—Acts 11:22.

FOR THE WEEK ENDING JAN. 3, 1885.

DOMESTIC.

—The December returns of the cotton crop indicate a total production of 5,580,000 bales.

—About a hundred saloon-keepers were arrested in New York Sunday for violating the excise law.

—Recent finds of gold at Fort Mountain, Ga., have led to the discovery of silver-mines in the same district.

—A St. Louis journal estimates that at present in that city 15,000 persons are out of employment.

—Blizzards are reported at Sioux City, Lincoln (Neb.), St. Paul, and the mountain regions of Colorado.

—An epidemic of small-pox prevails at South Boardman, Mich. Trains pass the town without stopping.

—Last year at the Philadelphia Mint 52,270,000 pieces were coined, the value of which was $16,947,000.

—On the last day of 1884, the boiler of the tug Admiral exploded, blowing to pieces the bodies of all her crew.

—Fire Monday morning swept away the business section of Kentland, Ind., the loss being estimated at between $40,000 and $50,000.

—Floods in the Danville (Ill.) section have seriously damaged two railway bridges, and caused a cave-in of a portion of the Ellsworth Coal Mine.

—An ice-jam has caused the river to rise at Montreal, causing a flooding of streets and cellars in the lower sections of the city.

—A circular of the Pennsylvania Coal Company announces an average reduction of 25 cents per ton in the price of coal after Jan. 1.

—The clock in Trinity Church tower, New York, is the heaviest in America. It takes two men over an hour to wind it up.

—The fire at Pierre, D. T., early yesterday morning caused a loss of $40,000, with $30,000 insurance. The burned structures will not be replaced until spring.

—The paper once called foolscap is now known as Congressional cap. The name sounds better, but it is the same thing and used by the same people.

—An immense chain has just been made at Newburyport, Mass. It is 200 feet long and weighs 2,700 pounds. It is made of two and one-third-inch iron, and each link weighs twenty-five pounds.

—The United States Treasurer to-day mailed checks in payment of the interest due Jan. 1 on government securities to the amount of $7,903,613.

—Fall wheat in DeWitt County, Illinois, has been damaged by heavy rains, and corn gathering has been checked by the mud.

—Another outbreak by striking miners of the Hocking Valley is reported. Dynamite was received Monday, and attacks on railroad bridges were begun. A sheriff with a large posse is on the trail of the mob.

—Clearing exchanges for the week—$629,156,877—are $178,679,975 less than in the preceding week. As compared with the corresponding period in 1883, the falling off is $211,584,946.

—It is estimated that there has been a decrease of $400,000 in the public debt during December. The receipts have been light, and the disbursements heavier than usual. The payments on account of pensions amount to over $8,000,000.

—The sugar yield in St. Mary’s Parish, La., has proved a failure, and other crops are not abundant, owing to last summer’s drought. Planters are discouraged, and the outlook for the laborers is gloomy.

—The Great Eastern is being prepared for sea, but owing to a doubt in regard to her sea-worthiness, she will not be allowed to sail for New Orleans until a thorough inspection of all her compartments has been made by the officials of the Board of Trade.

—Reports received at Bozeman, Mont., are to the effect that cattle are starving to death in the Madison and Yellowstone regions. The snow is two feet deep on the level, making it impossible for the animals to get at the grass.

—Throughout Arkansas, the bayous and rivers are over their banks, flooding the country for miles. Railway tracks are under water, and bridges have been weakened, thus retarding travel. In the White River Valley plantations are submerged, and stock have been drowned.

—The Secretary of the Treasury sent the following telegram to the Collector of Customs of San Francisco in reference to Chinese immigration. “Section 6, act 1884, applies only to Chinese merchants coming for the first to the United States. Chinese merchants, former residents in the United States, may be admitted on any satisfactory proof of such facts by certificate or otherwise.”

FOREIGN.

—The police officials of Hamburg have a letter containing threats that the Imperial Naval Observatory will be destroyed.

—Tonquin advices report daily encounters between the Chinese and French at the outposts. The Chinese continue pouring troops into Tonquin and Formosa.

—General Wolseley has changed his route to Khartoum, and will march by the road from Merawah to Berber, instead of by the desert route to Shendy. This will delay the relief of Khartoum two months.

—Later details of the earthquake show that the damage to property and the loss of life are both much greater than at first believed. So far as reported 3,000 persons were killed and many fatally injured.

—The Mahdi is a radical total-abstinence man, even to coffee and tobacco, which he won’t even allow in his camp. In fact, he even gave a refugee 150 lashes for smoking a cigarette.

—Arabi Bey states that he and his suite are not allowed enough money to live on. The Ceylon Government indorses their complaint, and has tried to induce the Egyptian authorities to be more liberal, without effect as yet.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

—James Lyman, a man of Lee, Ind., was recently pouring out a torrent of blasphemy when he became speechless. Paralysis of the vocal organs occurred in a second of time.

—Apostle Cannon, of Utah, is vigorously pushing his polygamous campaign in the canton of Berne, in spite of the arrest and expulsion of Mormon missionaries from Switzerland.

—The new missionary boat, the “Morning Star,” has been furnished with a large quarto Bible for the cabin by the pupils of the high school of Marsolan, Turkey. On its cover is the inscription, “We have seen His Star in the East.”

—The Turkish government has issued a decree forbidding the Jews to add to their numbers in the Holy Land by immigration. Those who wish to pray at the “holy places” in Jerusalem may go and remain for thirty days, but they must give security that they will depart in a month.

—At a recent address before the Oberlin Faculty Club, at Oberlin, Ohio, President Fairchild said that when in the Sandwich Islands he found in the possession of one of the American families there the original manuscript of the romance from which Joseph Smith copied his Book of Mormon.

—Two children have died within a week in Williams’ private foundling hospital at South Denver, Col., without medical aid, Williams depending entirely on the efficacy of prayer for the cure of the little sufferers. The Coroner has the matter in charge. Williams states that he managed a similar institution in Chicago in 1881.

—Bishop Warren, in his Philadelphia Centennial address, made the following statement in regard to the denominational educational institutions of this country: The Protestant Episcopal Church has 12 colleges, with $8,700,000 endowment; Congregationalists, 28 colleges, with $9,000,000; Presbyterians, 41 colleges, with $7,000,000; Baptists, 46 colleges, with $10,300,000; Methodists, 52 colleges, with $1,000,000 endowment.

D. B. Oviatt, J. W. Raymond, F. Peabody, } Conf. Com.

MICHIGAN STATE MEETING.

The Michigan State quarterly meeting will be held at Greenville, and will continue as long as the interest may demand. First meeting, Jan. 16, 1885, at 7 P. M. This will, or should be, a very important meeting. Therefore we expect a very large representation of our people from all parts of the State. The importance of the times in which we live and the work in which we are engaged, demands a large attendance of brethren and sisters and friends of the cause. Being held at Greenville a large number of our people in the northern part of the State will have the privilege of attending, who did not have the opportunity of attending the camp-meeting at Jackson or the General Conference at Battle Creek, and we hope such will make a special effort to be present. The house of worship in this city will be dedicated on Sunday, the 18th. Those coming should bring buffalo robes, trunks of bedding, etc., to aid in caring for themselves as far as is consistent. Efforts will be made to get reduction of fare on the D. L. and N. R. R. Elds. Butler and Van Horn, and other speakers, will be present.

J. Fargo, Pres.

The district meeting of Dist. No. 8, Ill., will be held Jan. 9–11 inclusive, at Bluford. All the workers in the canvassing and temperance work are requested to be present, as far as possible, as matters of importance will be considered at the meeting. Eld. Steward and others will be here to instruct us in the way more perfectly.

L. A. Logan, Director.

SABBATH-SCHOOL CONVENTION.

A Sabbath-school convention will be held at Eagle Lake, Minn., commencing Jan. 16, 1885. This will be one of the most important meetings ever held in the State, in the interests of this important branch of our work. Nothing will be left undone to make it both interesting and instructive. Great care will be taken in arranging the exercises and securing the best help possible. We hope to see representatives from every school in the Conference; if not, let such as cannot send delegates report by letter. It is our earnest desire that at this meeting such plans may be laid as will better enable us to reach the grand object of the Sabbath-school. All who can, bring bedding.

J. Fulton.

GENERAL MEETING FOR DIST. NO. 5, INDIANA.

This meeting will be held at Noblesville, Jan. 13–20, 1885. The tract and missionary meeting is appointed Jan. 18, at 9 A. M. Desiring to make this occasion one of profit to all, we have decided to make a new departure in our manner of labor. The cardinal points of our faith will be taken up, beginning with the prophecies. We request all, brethren and sisters and friends, to bring their Bibles, also notebooks and pencils, to take notes; and each evening after the first, before commencing the discourse, there will be a review on the subject of the previous evening. Services to begin at 7 P. M., standard time. Each day except Sabbath and first day, we desire to spend from 9:30 to 11 A. M. in Bible-readings and social meetings.

In view of the perils just before us, we must avail ourselves of every opportunity to store our minds with the solid truth which will be necessary to rivet us to the Rock of Ages when the Lord arises to shake terribly the earth. We earnestly request all who possibly can do so to arrange to attend these meetings, and have all your neighbors that can be induced to be present get the benefit of them. We owe a duty to our fellow-men; and it is high time we were earnestly engaged in its discharge. Let all come praying that God may bless. Wm. Covert.

MICHIGAN SABBATH-SCHOOL WORKERS, ATTENTION.

In connection with the State T. and M. meeting to be held at Greenville, Mich., commencing Jan. 6, there will be an effort made to advance the Sabbath-school interests. Will Sabbath-school officers and teachers within reach of this meeting be present? As this will be the first meeting of the kind that we have had for some time, in the State, we trust all will come prepared to take hold and make the meeting a success.

M. B. Miller, Pres. Mich. S. S. Assoc.

APPOINTMENTS FOR OHIO.

There will be a general meeting for Dist. No. 6, O., at Walnut Grove, Jan. 15–19. We hope to see a general attendance of all our people in that section.

General meeting for Dist. No. 5 at Portage River church Jan. 23–26. The new church building will be dedicated at this time. We hope to see from all parts of this district a good representation.

R. A. Underwood, E. H. Gates.

Clinton Co., N. Y., as the brethren may arrange, Jan. 16–18; West Bangor, as Bro. H. W. Lawrence may appoint, Jan. 20, 21; Dist. No. 4, St. Lawrence Co., as Bro. Harvey Dana, the director, may appoint, Jan. 23–25. The meetings in Clinton and St. Lawrence Counties will begin Friday evening and close Sunday evening. We hope all will plan to attend from the beginning to the close of these important meetings.

M. H. Brown.

The quarterly meeting of Dist. No. 8, Iowa, will be held with the church at Elkhorn, Jan. 17, 18. Let all the librarians be present, and let us have a good report from every church in the district. Let all our missionary workers come, that plans may be laid for successful work the coming year. Teams will meet those coming at Marne Friday, the 16th. Come and seek the Lord’s blessing.

DIST. NO. 4, MINNESOTA, ATTENTION!

As Sr. Hattie Harris, who for several months past has been secretary of this district, has been called to labor in the State depository at Minneapolis, it has been necessary to appoint one to fill the vacancy. Bro. Jesse Harris, of Pleasant Grove, Minn., has kindly consented to perform the duties of this office. We feel confident that the work will receive careful attention, as it did from Sr. Harris. Let the work go forward.

J. M. HOPKINS

NEBRASKA, ATTENTION!

By A. J. Cudney

All churches and local tract societies in this State, that for any cause do not hold their quarterly meetings on the first Sabbath and Sunday in January, 1885, should seek the earliest opportunity of so doing. We want a full report from every member of the tract society, and from each librarian and district secretary. If there are any who have not yet reported to their librarian, please do so at once. Let the librarians gather up all the reports they can, and if too late to send to the district secretary, they may be sent direct to Samantha Whiteis, Freemont, Neb., and she will put them in with the State report. As much money as possible should be sent in this quarter on accounts and pledges. The society has never done more than it is now doing; and it has never been able to use money to so good advantage as at present.

I also hope that all church elders and treasurers will see that all the members have an opportunity to pay in their tithes. The money should be sent at once to J. C. Middaugh, Fremont, Neb., and a report of the amount sent by each one to Thomas P. Lippencott, Blair, Neb. Our scattered brethren, not connected with any church, may send their tithes direct to Bro. Middaugh, and in every case report to Bro. Lippencott the amount sent.
