The man does not livo, perhaps, who baa tho luunt liloa of the name of the disooverer of the properties and ingredi ents of gniipowdor, or who can tell within SUU or 1,000 years the date of its disoovory. I have recently read both sides of tho gunpowder controversy as it has appeared in a New York daily (whore 0110 writer argues that the dis coveror was Roger Baoou, while the ' other declares that history supports the assertion that Michael Schwartz, a Gor man monk, deserves tho praise). It ap pears to uie that the controversy in ref erence to uuooii versus senwarca is 01 secondary importance, especially when it is known that it was in use hundreds of years before the birth of either. Rzilin has oonipilud a long chrono logical history of this useful explosive, of which the following is an abridge ment: Julius Afrioanns (215 A. D.) gives a splendid formula for the preparation of gunpowder. In the year 000, when the Arabs bom barded Mecca, thoy osed firearms. A Greek manuscript by Marcus Grac chus, which is now in the Oxford (Eng land) muscniu, gives an excellent recipe for gunpowder. In 880 Leo, the philosopher, made "fire rockets" for the use of tho army in the east In 1073 King Solomon of Hungary bombarded Belgrade with cannons. In 1233 the Tartars eniployod "fire pipes and balls" in their war with Chi na. All the above occurred from one to ten centurios before either Baoou or .Schwartz was born.-St Louis Ropub lia Am Important Item In Harder Cases. Whether the blood stains found on the hands and garments of suspected murdorors are those of tho victim or of some animal has for many years been a most difficult question to decide. The presenoe of the sanguinary fluid forms a very strong bit of circumstantial ovi deuoe, but no expert has until recently fcoen able tosweur positively I imt tho tains were made by the blood of a hu man being. Or. Cyrus Edsou has often been oalled as an expert iu murder coses, but with a deep sense of the importance of his decision has many times refused to testify that it was blood of a human being which he was required to exam ine. Recently, however, be has made an important discovery, aud one which definitely fixes the action of experts in the future. By magnifying blood cor pusoles and throwing them upon a screen with a niagio lautoru the form, consistency and othor peouliaiities of blood are clearly established, aud it is shown that blood drawn fioin tho veins of a human being is entirely unlike that of any other oreature. Tho importance of this discovery may be realized when it is known that within one single year at least IB cases have occurred in which the identification of human blood was necessary in order to establish the guilt of the suspected party. New York Ledger. A Quarrel by Cable. The cable was once the medium for a lovers' quarrel, which took place be tween a lady iu New York and a gen tleman iu Franca The heroine was no other than that diviue Fremiti artiste whose genius we all admire. The gen tleman was a dramatic author, now no more. This curious quarrel took place one Sunday, the oable being joiued through direct. It bristled with passion ate roproaohes, bitter, stinging sarcasms, couched in piotorosque French. The scone was intuusoly dramatio. Both the actors, to near and yet so far, trembled with jealous passion as their bitter sar casms were flashed through the ooils of this gigantia sea serpent Mutual oom plaints, reproaches and threats contin ued, until a lust stinging sarcasm from France reduced the excitable artiste to a state of uorvous excitement which oul miuatod in hysterics. The cablo was then restored to its normal condition and the artiste to ber senses. London Staudard. A Dreaa mad Its Fulfill ann.

The girl's nume wan Maud Montmorency and her father was a wealthy butcher. She returned Clar ence's love, but her stern mule par out was opposed to the imitoh. So Clarence pined. He also wrote "poems. " One night Clarence plucked up conr ago and called at the aristocratic Mnr ruy Hill mansion wherein Mund resided. He rang the doorbell and wiped his feet Then he was ushered into the proud butcher's presence. "Sir," lie said, bowing low, "I lova your daughter and would fuin make bor my wife." Old Montmorency was impressed by the young man's originality. "Pro ceed," he said. "But first tell me what are yonr prospects?" "Prospects?" replied the youth promptly. "I have great prospects, since I hope to muiry your daughter. Oh, sir," ho ootitiuued eagerly,"! know I could make ber happy. I have studied her beautiful nnturo carefully, and I am sure she would rejoice at the opportu nity of taking care of a poor, orphan husband. Listen, sir I" Here he drew forth a manuscript. "Permit me to read a little thing of my own. I'm a poet, sir, and can best express myself in num bers. " Then he read as follows: A prey to lore my spirit pines Tho while I write those "tondorlolns" To one no dear tbat for her Hake I'd place sty very soul at "stoak," Or else my life I'd gladly give her, Yet wlut Is lire to such a "livor."

When Henry Ward Beecher was at the height of his career, there wero a fuw men who resembled him near enough to be ablo to duplicate him in public. Among these was Judge of Buffalo, who sometimes found the likeness a source of annoyance At one time the judge was traveling with a party of ladies who were under his care. He gallantly ascribed the attention he received to tbem, but on an occasion when be retired to the smoking car the riddle was solved. Tho moment he left the parlor oar a couple of strange men hurried in, and after apologizing to the ladies for the intrusion asked very ear nestly if the gentleman in their company were not Mr. Beeoher. Upon bojng as sured that he was not, one man turned to the other, aud handing him a roll of bills said: "Take thorn; you've wou." Then, turning to the ladies, he explained, "I bet $100 that your friend was Mr. Beeoher, and I've lost. " And he fol lowed his, companion from the car. The judge laughed heartily when told of the inoidont and said it was not the first time that another man's greatness had been thrust upon him. Detroit Five Press. Conld Recommend Them All.

HOW THE CHURCH WAS FIRST OR GANIZED ISO YEARS AGO. Bad Its Birth In the "irst Awakening" Revival Conducted by Jonathan Ed wards Preparations For the SlitMntb Biennial Conference at Washington. Motwrott ball, Washington, will be the place of holding tbo sixteenth bien nial conference of Unitarian and other churches, which begins Monday evening, Oct. 21. United Htates Senator George Frisbie Hour of Massachusetts, who is president of tho conference, will occupy the chair, and the ut tendance will in clude muny of the best known persons in the United Ktutes, among them being Senator Justin 8. Morrill, senior vice president of the conference; the Rev. Minot T. Savage of Boston, who will preach the opening sermon ; the Revs. E. E. Hale, D. D., George Bachelor, John Cnckson, Edward A. Horton, 8KXATOB 0KOHGE V. HOAR. Thomas R. Slicer, Howard N. Hosmer, Robort Col Iyer, D. D., Mary A. Sufford, IdaC. Hnltiu aud Anna Qarlin Spencer, all of whom will take purt in the exer cises. The Rev. Brooko flerford, D. D., of London, will also be present and take part as tho representative of the British and Foreign Unitarian association, and among those not belonging to the minis try Professor John Finks, Dr. C. C. Everett, Professor F. Q. Penbody and President O. Stuuley Hull will take part The foundation principles upon which Unitariunism now stands are well set out in the following declaration from the new preamble to the constitution adopted ut the lust national conference, held at Saratoga: "The national confer ence of Uuituriun and other Christian churches uccepts the religion of Jesus, holding, in accordance with his teach ings, that practical religion is summed up in love to God and love to man. " This declaration is believed by Uni tarians to be one which would have se cured the apptoval of the lamented Lin coln, since he said, us quoted by F. B. Carpenter in his "Six Months In the White House," "When any church will inscribe over its ultar as its sole qualifi cation for membership the Saviour's con densed Htatemout of both law and gos pel, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all tby heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself, ' that church will I join with all my heart and soul. " Four presidents of the United States have been members of the Unitarian church both the Adumses, Thomas Jefferson and Millurd Fillmore. Many United States senators, judges and lit erary men have also been of its mem bership. Holmes, Lowell, Bryant and Curtis were sinning Unitarians. It was 1 50 years ago that UniturinniBm began in New England, during the re vival conducted by Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield and known us the "great awakening." Those who did not agree with the doctrines and meth ods of these preachers drew away from the Cougregatiouul church, and 75 years later formally separated themselves from the orthodox Congregutionulists and openly avowed themselves Unitarian Congrt'gutioualists. During the three quarters of a century thut had been lead ing np to this step the liberals in each parish hud failed to join tho churches, and in some cases formed a majority of the whole, the orthodox being church members of course. The question of the ownership of the church property then got into the courts, and it was finally decided by the supreme court of Massa chusetts that the property belonged to the parish. In each cuse where a division was mude the property went with the church when the church was in the ma- j jority aud went with the parish with- out the church when the church was in the minority. Surviving from the time when ortho dox and Unitarian Congregutionulists belonged to the sume body, there is still in Matuiuchnsetts the Congregutioual convention, which holds and administers funds impartially for the benefit of both orthodox and Unitarian Cougrcgution alist ministers. At the present time the two parties are so near in agreement that it would be impossible to create a division upon the old issues. What is railed liberal orthodoxy is almost the same as the Uuituriauism of Boston in 1825. In other words, "new orthodoxy" is "old Unitariauism. " In muny cases the origiuul first Con gregutioual chnrchs of New England are now Unitariau. This is trne of the first paritth of Plymouth, Mass. , founded at Scrooby, England, 1606; the first church of Salem, Mat, .founded ten years later ; the first church of Boston, fonuded 1630; first religious society of Roxbury, Mag., founded in 1631, and a dozen others. , Sinco the days of Theodore Parker the number of Unitarian churches bas doubled. But Unitarians do not con sider numbers the sole proof of succe. They feel gratified by the fact that from John Adams to Senator Hoar thry hi, re Included in their membership a lin diftiugnisbed statesmen at Washington. PI VALLEY OF DEATH. A PROMINENT RANCHMAN WHO HAD SUFFERED LONG. Us Says That Ills Doctor and Frlsnds Bad Given Him Dp-Hie Ml raeulous Curs. From I h Colorado Farmer, Denver, Colo. ' David 8. Green, who is past middle life, a man of fine physique, strong, vigorous and buoyant, went to Colo rado in I860 and now resides at 8127 Grant avenue, Denver. He is woll known in Colorado and Indian Terri tory as a oattleman, and is also known in Colorado' mining circles by "old timers." He is a member of Trinity M. E. church of this city and well known in Methodist circles, and a fa miliar figure ou the streets of Denver. He is a gentleman of intelligence and culture, communicative and affable. On the flint day of February, 1898, Mr. Green received a serious injury to the spine, occasioned by slipping while supporting a heavy weight Tbo in jury was very painful, and in a few days be wub helpless. Through the long months of suffering that followed be was reduced in strength and fl until his nervous system was well nigh exhausted; he was brought to the bor der land of paralysis. His entire right side was threatened with this malady. The spinal column and base of the brain were a battery of painfand tor ture, and naught was left him but to suffer on and wait for the end. While in this condition and utterly hopeless of help (as his pbysioian and the best medical counsel proved power I, his attention was providentially called to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. As a drowning man clutches at a straw so he caught at Pink Pills and immedi ately begun to improve. He com menoed their use about the middle of Maroh last, and today his pains are nearly gone, and all the alarming symp toms of paralysis have disappeared and the original injury is rapidly improv ing. His general health and flesh are returning, his usual elasticity of spirit and vivacity are restored, and an hour's conversation ia sufficient to convince one tbat to Pink Pills is due a change almost miraculous. In conversation with a represents tive of the Farmer, Mr. Green said "I have not been on the street for sev enteen months till two or three days ago, but I am so much better. It is a surprise to me and to my friends, yes, and to my doctor too. The fact is bave been at death's door. No one thought there was any help for me; even my doctor thought I never would be any better t But here I am walking about as yon see, and to me it is won derfull and perhaps you will hardly believe me when I tell yon what did it it was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." It is due to suffering humanity that the story of Mr. Green be told. His kindness of hert and generous im pulses would rejoice in spreading the fame of a remedy that has brought him from the valley of death to enjoy the pleasures of a loving home. Hi physician is a gentleman well known in Denver, has live ! here many years and bnilt up a good pruotioe. He is broad-minded and in good standing in the best medical circles in the city. Anyone wishing to do so, can readily satisfy himself as to the facts herein related. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are sold in boxes (never in loose form, by the dozen or hundred) at 50joents a box, or six boxes for 3.60, and may be had of all druggists or directly by mail (from Dr. Williame' Medicine Co., Schenec tady, N.
