Consequently, in order to be ; able lo carry out a programme of any , value, from an educational standpoint, ' he must make the most of such ships as I he can command, and it wll be impos j sible, therefore, this season to with- draw any of the ship, even temporar- I ily, from the tquadron to attend the local celebrations at various points on the Pacific coast, as has been custom- ary in the past.

BEGINNING OF WOMAN'S ERA The Lecture Was One ol Scholastic Merit, and Was Enthusiastically Re ceived by an Attentive Audience. Salem, July 7. An interred audi ence this evening assembled at Unity church, to hear what the Rev. Mr. Copeland had to say of "The New Woman, Selected by God to End the World." The lecture was one of scholastic merit, and was enthusiastic ally received. In fact, one of the very 1 best Mr. Copeland has ever delivered. The text was: "For the Marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready, and I, John, saw the holy city coming down from God as a bride adorned for her husband." In beginning bis lecture, the speaker called attention to the very general ex pectation of the end of the world at the close of the century, prevailing amongst all religions, and sustained by men of science, as well as by preachers of the second advent. He quoted many prophecies proclaiming that the end oi the world was at band, some of which are new and gathered from anoient books. He quoted from the Bagavad Gita, the words of Krishna: "I pro- uuob luymui aiuuiig oreaiures, wueii- ; ever tuere u a necune oi virtue, uoan insurrection of vice in the world. That such conditions prevailed was de tailed at length in the strongest pos- j sible language. The darkness of the ; picture was relieved by oaliing atten- j tion to the coming reign of woman in j literature, art, society and politics. j The causes of woman's emancipation ; were indicated, and ber influence in j every department of life depicted. A ' new race was in the process of forma tion, which should develop the feminine side, and be fit to use those inner forces 1 which the "X" ray and the Keeley motor indicate are to replace the com- j mon electricity. i "The past centuries have witnessed i a steady progress in the delicacy and 1 spirituality of the forces used: From ! horse-power to water-power; from wa- ter-power to steam; from steam to elec- ; trioity; from electricity to etherio i vibration, which latter cannot now be used, for man is yet too material and j selfish, and would make this power ; whioh dwarfs electricity only rivet the ! despotism of the few over the many j beyond any power to break. Butwhtn the old dispensation has ended, then may we have the use of the new force. ' We have seen what ohanges have re suited, from the substitution of steam for horse and water-power; we are witnessing the changes made by re placing steam by electrioity, shortening the hours of labor and making life easier to live. What may we not look for, when we replace eleotricity with interetherio vibration, or as Bulwer Lytton, in his "Coming Race," calls . Vnl, which he very significantly places in the hands of woman and which she uses to restrain selfishness of the male part of the race, not yet raised o her highs tandard of morals." The lecture concluded with the fol- lowing sentences: Lo, the sign of the Son of Man in the heavens, ending the language of barbarism. Clad in new bodies made out of finer elements, be cause born of love, those souls have passed through many incarnations marked with much suffering and tribu lation, shall dwell in the New Jerusa lem; which shall not be here or there; but everywhere. Of this city the in dwelling God, now in control of the old-time, cruel and rapacious animal, who preferred darkness to light, shall be the glory. GUARDS OVERPOWERED.

The oonsuls oi the European powers are sending pessimistio accounts of the way in which hostilities are being conducted in Crete. The situation is suoh that should the porte insist in its oonduot, Frenoh men-of-war may laud troops on the island. The Armenian patriarch, Isemin, has asked permission to resign.
