and anchored there. The Scotchmau, Beall, who named the heights the Rock of Dumbarton, worshiped on these very banks. Here the Potomacs and Alalos- tans, and Occoquans of the south, allied their forces and met in deadly conflict the powerful Susquehannss of the north, and gave them their Waterloo. Here the aboriginal inhabitants of the Blue Ridge mountains came to hunt and fish and spend their winters; deserting their mountain resorts until the warmth of genial spring and balmy summer wooed them back sgain to the cragsand peaks, the springs and streams of the high altitude. Here, only a gen- eration since, the soldiers of the north rendezvoused and recruited for mortal combat with their impetuous and valor- ous cousins of the south. But the wars of nations and races have passed into memories; and in the name of the Prince of Peace the people of another race perform the ceremony which initi- ates them into the fellowship of the re- ligion of love, and teaches them that joy is duty and love is law.

That old colored pastor was a pe- culisr specimen of his race. He wore no gown nor insignia of the rank of episcopacy or presbytery. His long frock coat was buttoned up to the neck; his shaggy, gray-black beard and hair glistened in the sunlight; his spectacles clung to his ample nose, and their gold bows gave added dignity to his appear- ance. He was nnt aged nor venerahle, but strong and powerful physically. His voice was decp, rasping, penetrat- ing, and his invocations were distinct- ly audible above the volume of praise, song, shouting and hullabaloo of the multitude. That he was a man of influ- ence with his people was manifest when, by simply raising his hand and beckoning to the people, he commanded silence when every new convert came down into the chilly waters to meet him

When the last baptism had been made, he slowly came upon dry land, and stood there in dripping garments and deliv- ered a sermon, an earnest lecture to the people, and at last dismissed them with the benediction. He had heen in the water for more than an hour. If he docs not die of pneumonia or the grippe it will undoubtedly be because of a dis- pensation of providence.

When the spectators reached the western end of the bridge, intending to continue their walk, there was a cry of

A little light work should ont make # woman's back ache --

And it wouldn't if the kidneys were right.

Sick kidneys are to blame for three- fourths nf the pain and misery in this world. If all the kidneys in the world could be made strong and healthful, back- ache would disappear like magic.

Doan's Kidney Pills Are making well kidneys just as fast as people let them. They never fail. Ilave cured thousands of men and women.

Read this testimony of their merit. Mrs. J. F. Jencks, nf 532 Bank street, wife of the foreman at the Brown Carriage Cn,, New London, Ct., says:

"It took five or six boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills to radically cure me of backache, in the winter of 1896, and all I can add to the state- ment I gave at that time for publication in our New London papers is, the cure then effected has been permanent. I as conscien- tiously and as emphatically endorse Doan's Kidney Pills to-day as I did when they were first brought to my notice over three years ago. My advice to anyone suffering from either weakened or over-excited kidneys is to procure Doan's Kidney Pills at a drug store, take a course of the treatment, and the results promised will inevitably follow."

distress and pain, a rush of scores of men pell mell Into a commingled mass of writhing legs and arms, all of the people pushing and crowding towards a common center, many of them striking out right and left like

rioters and bruisers. The soli-

tary policeman helplessly strug- gled to wedge his way towards the center of the crowd. but could do noth- ing until the crowd gradually sep- arated. Then it was discovered that several men had been cut with razors, ten or muore had been struck with fists and sticks, and the appearance of the individuals emerging from the center of the melee was very unprepossessing. As usual, somebody had started a quar- rel, a sufficient number of friends of the participants had reenforced their neighbors, and the meeting hsd closed in turmoil and disorder. The words of wisdom hsd evidently fallen upon some denf ears. The solemnity of the occa- sion had manifestly made no impres- sion upon several minds yet in the dark- ness of sin. There are black sheep in all families, and in all churches. SMITH D. FRY.

French Swindfer's Trick. The Paris police had recently been looking for a swindler. A few days ago It was found that his death had been registered, whereupon the papers in the case were duly docketed and put away. But what was the surprise of a detective inspector who had known him well, and had noted the fact of his death, to come across him one day fol- lowing a funeral to the cemetery. On mixing with the mourners the detective learned that the body being borne to its last resting place was that of the Ilving man who was following as one nf the mourners. To avoid a scene he allowed the ceremony to proceed and then took his man into custody. The latter explained that his brother hav- ing died he conceived the idea of sub- stituting his own name and papers with the Idea of putting the police off the scent and evading his punishment.

CHEAP FARM CISTERN.

Description of One That Is Pecollar. ly Adapted for Regions Where Hay Snbaoil Prevalls.

Where clay subsoil prevails, and this is found on nearly all Ohio farms, there is a good opportunity to build cement cisterns very cheap and durable. In starting the excavation a circle should be struck the desired size, and after thrown open several feet in depth the circumference should he lessened one spading each time until an abrupt bot- tom is reached, when you will have a jug-shaped figure. Now inscribe a sec. ond circle five inches larger than the

This top is necessary in order to guard against frost chipping the ce- ment, and also to allow a smaller focus at top, which allows the cistern to he kept in a hetter sanitary condition. After the clay wall has become some- what dry, toke a mallet and chisel and chip numerous crevicea into the clay. It is now ready to trowel on the cement. After the walls are well troweled down, erect the brick top, laying each brick with good cement mortar, cementing and troweling down both inside and nut- side nf wall until top is reached, then erect sewer tile as shown in illustration, cementing it well. Fill excavation, mounding up slightly, and you have a cistern that is pure, clean and sanitary and will" undoubtedly give you no trouble as long as you live.

Picked Too Soon,

A devoted Cleveland uncle took hls very small nephew out'in the country nne hright day not long ago, and his friend, the farmer, suggested he should go out and hunt for eggs. Of course the stall nephew went along. The uncle 'knew where to go, and, though he is fat and scant nf breath, managed tn gather a number from all sorts of hiding places. Presently he stooped and picked up a bantam's egg. The umall'nephew saw it.

the united strength of the pastor and his assistant to hold the girl and keep her from drowning herself. She was slippery as un eel, and it really seemed as though she would drown herself in the fervor of her frenzy. Several times

BEYOND HER DEPTH.

she jumped into the water far beyond her depth, but was ultimately held in check, while the pastor uttered a few words of invocation and pushed her ! under the water. While this struggle was going on the people on the hank were singing: "Way over yonder where I wander, angels are looking on ine." "Sister Susan is saved." "Sister Bet- tie is saved." "Glory be to God. Halle- lujah!" "Praise the Lord for ever- more!"

Those were a few of the ejaculations which burst in unison from the throats of the assembled multitude, as sister after sister was immersed and blessed hy the pastor. There was one athletic old woman, who weighed 300 pounds at least, who grasped the pastor around the throat and hauled his head under the water, which, by the way, looked very much like thick besn soup. The crying and wailing and crooning of the negro plantation melodiea were like barbaric singing of ante-bellum One of their peculiar cries as the watera rolled over the heada of the converta waa: "The waters of Jor- dan are rolling over my soul, Glory be to God! Hallelujah!"

Standing on the bridge, as we did. above the people, every word they ut- tered came up to us distinctly, and the vnices of praise rang up and down the peaceful valley so that they must have pls who dwell In the beautiful cottages along the banks of the atream.

The place chosen for the baptiamal ceremony was only a quarter of a mile above the mouth of the aewer of Ocorgetown, There were upwards of 40 people baptized, and there was no foolishness about it, either, for every one nf them went under the water and some of them were kept under for a long time. There were very few men In the congregation who were thus taken Into the church. The majority nf them were women, and nearly all nf them girla. When the heavy nld woman hauled her pastor under the water there were at least fourscore people on the banks who cried: "Go it, nld gal. Go it, nld gaf. The preacher needs to haptize his soul, too. Go it, nld gal!" Upon every announcement of the profession of faith, the people were soused under the water with a swish .. and when their heads went out of right their heels went above the water, and they kicked and screamed like mad. There is nothing on earth more deeply earnest than the profession of religinus faith by the people who have come up ont nf the darkness of the bondage nf slavery. Of course, their educational condition la yet clreum- scribed. Very often too much is, ex- pected.of them, It is not fair for a race which ban steadily grown for a thnu-

sand years to expect another race to at- taln perfection in a quarter of a cen- tury. These people are learning of the same Master whose worship we have learned from our infancy. Neverthe- less, it was almost impossible for my friends and myself to realize the actual solemnity of the occasion, on account of the many ludicrous things said and done, as heard and seen from our van- tage ground.

Their Sincerity Not to Be Doobted- A Sunday Moralog Daptlamı lo the Potomne-The Cere- mony Described.

[Special Washington Letter.]

THREE newspaper men were tak- ing a Sunday morning walk with the intention to go over the heights of Georgetown beyond the ancient Rock of Dumbarton, when, as we were nearing the historic stream of Rock creek, which divides the old-time commercial port from the national cap- ital, we heard the voices of hundreds of people singing religious songs and shouting amen and hallelujah. There was evidently a ceremony of baptism being performed by the colored people of our city, hecause we had heard sim- ilar sounds upon one occasion hefore, although we had never heen present at any such occasion in this city or the vicinity.

We deflected our course and came to the P street bridge, over which the Metropolitan street cars run, and stand- ing upon that structure we witnessed an unusual scene, even for the District of Columbia. There must have heen not less than 5,000 colored people upon one bank of the stream, while there were upwards of 3,000 white people upon the other side, all gathered to- gether to witness the immersion of about two score colored men and wom- en, who were to be admitted aa mem- bera of the Baptist church after pub- lie compliance with the most impor- tant regulation of that religious body. While not disposed to smile or laugh at thinga religious, nur ridicule any- thing of that nature, a great many things occurred which were provoca- tive of langhter, in spite of the fact that these people were earnest, sincere and honestly seeking salvation, While all of the good people upon the eastern shore of the creek were ainging: "We are kneeling at the altar on our knees, and we face the riaing aun; Lnrd have mercy on our souls," a young colored girl not more than 16 years of age en- tered the water and waa led into a deep place by the paator.
