1. The marriage in Cana (v,. I, 2). I. "The third day. ' P'rom the calling of IMiilip tad NsthaDsel, or nix Haj-ii from Ihe time John the Uaptist had answered the authorities from .lerusalem. It is cnl lulated thst Wednesday was the day. it heing the usual day for weddings tor .lew¬ ish maidens. Widows were married on Thursday. "A marriage." Including the marriage feast, which wae f.-e<)uentlv cele nrated for several d«j». 'The family wn» the first divine institution among men, and ii the basin of all that has followed.
2. ".lesus wa-! called." Invited. ThLs was natural, especially if Hitt mother wa« a relative. It wan according to custom that a strange .Tcwinh rabbi vinilnu there should be invited. "Diw-iplen." llie din ciples were thoee already mentioned—An drew, Simon, John, Philip. Xaihannel and probably .laiuen. Jesus ssnclities true earthly joy. We need not wonder to find the Lord of life at that festival, for He came to sanctify all life—ils times of joy and its times of sorrow, and all experience tells us that it is times of glsdness which especially need such a sanctifving powei- (jod wants us to lie happy, lie has given a hundred joyn to everv sorros'.

poor, extra guests had come nnd the sup¬ ply was limited. There has been much di'^- cunsion as lo whether .lenun made wine that sould intoxicate, Dr Whedon says: "Wc see no reason for supposing that the wine of the uresent occasion wns of that kind upon wnich Scripture places itn struntiest interdict" (Prov, 20:1; 23;3I; Isa. 22:131. No one csn jirove that it contained jntoxi- cstir.g qualities, and there are many and strong reasons for believing that it was as
f'urc anil harmless as the juice of the grape resh from the vines. Winebibbers need not undertake to fall back on this mirac!c as sn excuse for the gratification of tlieir perverted spiietites. II Jesus were in America to-day we know very well what His attitude would be toward the accurst-d ralonn and toward wine at banquets, and in fact toward the biimiuets as they are now carried on. We may be sure thst He never cncoursgvd anything which would lead, as our intoxicating liquors do, to degradation and ruin. "Mather—saith." etc. She probably spoke to llim privately. Although Christ had ss vet performed no miracle, yet His mother feels sure that He is able to help them in the present emer¬ gency.
4, "Wonian," This at first sounds harsh to our ears, but it was equivalent to nur Mving "Lady." and "waa a highly respect¬ ful and affectionate mnde of address," He does not call her "mother," because it was necessary now, at once and forever, to show her that He was not Jesus the Son of Uary, but Ihe Christ, the Son of Cjoil; that as regarded His great work and mis¬ sion. His eternal being, the significance of tha Beautiful relationsiiip had fiansed away. It could not have been done in a mnnncr more decisive, yet more entirely tender, "What have I to do with theeV What is there in common between us? He cannot longer work in her way. She does not un¬ derstand the influences directing His prea¬ ent life. "Mine hour." Ihe hour for the manifestation of His glory. Jesus rejects the worldly ambition in Mary's request. She desires a lirillisnt miracle, as a public sign of His coming. .lesus penetrates this smbitiouB thought, and traces a boundary lor Mary's desires, which she should no Biore sttempt to cross. But this docs not prevent His understanding Ihst slong with this there is something to be doiie in view of the present difficulty. .\n noon as all fleshly claim to hold control over, or gain emolument by. His Messianic power was rejected—as soon as His mother retired to her proper position—then wan the last ob¬ stacle removed; His area of action imme¬ diately opened, and the hour to manifest forth His glory by miracle had arriveil. 5. "Whatsoever—do it." Punctuslly ob¬ serve His orders without asking questions. Her fsith in Him had not weakened. The answer shows whst she was rx(iecting llim to do. Let us take her answer aa the motto of our lives,
III. The miracle wrought (rs. 6-111, 0. "Six waterpots.'' A large nuanlity of water was needed st s Jewish banquet be¬ cause of "the manner of purifying of the Jews"—the hands and feet of the guesis must I* u-sahed. and "the washing ot cnps and jugs and hollies went on the whole day." "Two or three firkins." .\ firkin wan nhout nine gallons, tliciefoie these waterpots held between 108 nnd 162 gallons.
7. "To the brim." We do nut know (hat they were entirely empty, but what¬ ever had been drawn out was leplaced. H. "Draw out." The word for draw may bo used in the sense of dip out. "L'nto tlte governor." The president of the banquet. "They bare it." Here failh was reiiuin-d. To put.wnter in the jars required obe¬ dience, but lu draw that water nut and pass it to the chief guest as wine made a Strong demand on failh.
9. ''Knew not." Knew not the miracu¬ lous origin of the wine, ".-servants— knew." The independent witness to the Iwo parts of Ihe miracle establishes Is re¬ ality. The ruler of ihc feast declares what Ihe element is, Ihe sercsnts knew what it was. 10. "Every man." This i-i the rom- iiitm ciifttoni among men. "Well dn*nk.'* Men who have had enough ars indifferent as lo the quality of Ihc wine set liefore liiein. The rulei of the fenst is but allud. ng to Ihe corrupt customs and  fashions
BT  THOMAS   WOOD  STXVaNS.
With fame upon the bugles blown
And waves of lances on the plain. Men han-est where the fields are aown
With death, and tears are like the ra=n;
By pomp and craft and high disdain They Duild and pasn, to sleep wilh Tyre.
Who spend their souls lo seek—in vain-- The glory of the King's Desire.
And men there are who stone on stono
Uprear unto the lord of gain High temples that they call their own
While Fortune smiles before her fane;
Who tempt the scan and learn to reigii .^bove the spirit of the fire.
.\nd driving still, may still attain The worship of the World's Desire,
And some who hold for fleet and throne
Xo homage—and no homage feign, Who kneel before one shrine alone.
Who know- one love, and one love's pain;
For them Ihe winter in the lane Chills not the spring-song of the lyre;
For   Ihem   ene   law,   one   dieain,   one chain— The guerdon of the Heart's IX-tire.
LEXVOI.
Sweet, when the IvranK all ^re slain.
The temples dark with Fortune's ire, Still in thine e.ves let me remin
The glory of the Heart's Desire

"My life wns fliled with such dreams na these, which seemed »o true, so natural that I felt it necessary to speak to Elinor, for she must sec as clearly as  I,"
The flood wns carrying him on—he fesumed hurriedly, with his eyes on the paper:
"One evening I went to her bome. Kllnor was alone, with a shndow ou her face, ond soniething took posses¬ sion of me. and I-I spoke. 1 see you nre disturbeil—for me. Yon need not be troubled—It wbh nil over, long ago. I have lived through it. I cnn laugb now-, when I thiuk of It—hn. ha, ha!
"She laughed, too, nt the lime, nud «ald It was the strangest thing tbat a girl couhl never lie frieuds with n mnn but that he spoiled It by wanting to marry her. She leaned back lu her cushioned ohuir—there was something made of silk and lace iM-hliid her head, nnd—and she looked so fair and dainty and geiille—but she wns laughing; and she told me tbat she liked lo have me near hor for several reasons.
"In tho first plnce. I was tall, and she liked tnll men. Then I could talk to her about Ixwks. and that enabled hor to talk about them. too. without being at the trouble of rending thein herself.

"And then I laughed nlso, and went out Into the night. A little while after she left 1/ondou and went abroad: and 1—I sat here at uiy desk and lived,
"Yes, I am quite recoiered—fortun¬ ately. With some men It might have been a very serious thing.

New Y'ork Cily-Wearing a black ilk muffler as n mask and waving n -evolver of largo size, with which lie threatened to shoot to kill, a man en¬ tered the i-esldoiico of Ernest Ci. AV. Woen, Xo, 1 East Sixty third street, Ihe other evening nnd "held up" Mr, Wi>eri and the women of his family. He demanded inoucy, nnd loft only when Mr. Woorz. convinced that the man wns In deadly earliest, tossed $100 lu bills to hiui.
This darliii; robhci'y occurred at r. o'clock lu tho ovoning. Mr. Woer7.'s residence is one door frum Kifth ave¬ nue, -within n stone's throw of the homes of (iCorgc .1. and Howard (lonld. John .Jacob Aslor aud other men of wealth. Coming at a time when the Police Depariment is uuder flre for failure to protect the homes of citliens, strict orders were given by police officials to keep the roblwry quiet, Nothlipi was said abont It un¬ til Mr. Woerz, lindlng tbat the detect¬ ives had accomplished nothiug, gave out tbe story.
Mr. Woerz Is president of the Boad- leston & Woerz Browing Company, In Ihe bouse nt the time of the robbery were Mr. Woerz. bis daughter. Mrs. C. M. Steele, nnd his niece, Miss Clara HofTman. All but Mr. Steele were In their rooms on the second floor, dress¬ ing for dinner. He was on tho third floor, and kuew nothing of the robbei-y. Three womeu servnuls were nlso In the house, lint only one nf Ihem. the maid, who admitted the robber, know w-hat was transpiring.
The caller was well drcsseil. and as¬ cended the frout steps wiihout nttrnct- ing ntteutlon. In tho vestibule he ad¬ justed a black silk inuftler to conceal tbe lower hnlf of his face. When the innld opened the door lie stopped In¬ side, thrusting the liarrol of a revolver into ber face, and said In a low tone:
"I want money, nud I want It ijubk. If you scream or give an alnrm I'll shoot."
"I have no money," said the maid, "but I'll get s<iiiio. " And she fled up the stairs. THjo mnn with the revol¬ ver followed. At the head of the stairs the muld tripped ovor ber dress and fell.
Miss IIolTmau. who was wiili Mrs. Steele stepped Into the hall and looked over the baluslrade Just as the mnid reached the Inndlng.
"Before I could realize what was the matter the man had stepiwd over the maid and was pointing a big revolver In my face." said Mls,s HolTman. " 'I waut money i|uick,' he said. I backoil Into the room and he stood lu the door¬ way,
"Mrs. Sleelo was in lho room, and be waved the pistol about, pointing It flrst nt one of us nud then tho other, 1 was frightened and stood still.
" 'I've oome to gel some uioney, nnd I shan't go nway without ll. I am go¬ ing to get It or kill some ouo. if any one tries to trnp inp I'll slioi>t overy one In the house.' he declared.
"Mrs, Steele nskml how iiincli bo wonted, '.-Vll you've got,' said he. Wo knew thnt Mr. Woerz wns In the front room, so we B|)i>ke louder to attract his attenllou, 1 slarteil townrd the door, but the Intruder ordered mo bnck and got lit'tween me and the door. .Iust then Mr. Woerz cnme. Tbe man IMilnted the revolver at bim and liackoil over toward the wall, where he could watcli nil of us.
"The black banilkercliiot slippeil down from his face nnd I had a good look at hlm. Ho pushed It np with bis left hand.
"Mr. Woerz asked whal was wiiiilod. 'I want money, and if you don't give It to me I'll shoot you.' said lie.
"Mr. AAoerz took some bills out of his pocket. They aniouiiteil lo about $100. Ho rolliil llioin up and tossed them at the burglar. The nmn picked up Ihe money and backed toward the stairway.
" 'Don't one of you move' he snid, 'I'll kill nny one who tries to give an alarm.'
"He didn't stop lo lake a purse I had In my hand, or to get any of the Jew¬ elry on tbo drossor In llie next room, but rnn down the slnirs, Hlamniliig Ibo door and ran tonard Central I'nrk, re¬ moving tbo mask ns bo went ont of the house.
".Mr. Woerz Ilion went lo the tele¬ phone nnd called up Koll, o lloadi|inir- tcrs. It was nbuut half an hour before n detective arrived. By that tluio tliore WUS no trace of the robber.'

The Secretary, in n loiter nci umpaiiy- ing thom, summarizes nnd brings nnt the I'ocoiumondntionK in the roports. which, ho says, show the L-reat beneflt thnt has boon conferroil nimn the Isl¬ nnds by n contlnueil stale of Irniuiuil- ity.

Ho snvs It is Iiuite sntlsfnctory to ob¬ serve the gooil effect of n settled pol¬ icy with respect to the civil service, nnder n stringent civil service l.iw, on the personnel nnd efficiency of Ihe ser¬ vice. Mnn.v of the Klllpinos are learn¬ ing English, and applying for exniuin- ntlon ns English clerks.
The falling off in the Oovernment revonues has reduced the funds avail¬ able for education. From the centrnl (Iovernment Inst yenr the amouut ex¬ pended did not exceed $1,200,000, as ngalust $l,rsX>.000 the prevlors yenr.
Regarding the new colnnge of the Islnnds the .Secrotnr.v snys thnt one of tbe most sntlsfnctory results of tho (Joveniment's transnctinns during JJie year In the Islands is the estnbllshinent on a flrm basis of the new coinage.
During the year tbe commission hns ciinctod nu Intcrunl revenue Inw nnd nliollsheil the Industrial taxes w-hlch had come down from the Spanish regime. The Industrial taxes subject¬ ed nil kinds of business, even the smallest, lo n license tnx, nud wns thought to wnrk proiwrtlonntely hard¬ er on the smnller businesses thnn upon Inrge enterprises. The. present bill Imposes a tnx on tbe production of lliiuor nnd alcohol, upon the manufac¬ ture of cigars and cigarettes, nnd nlso upon hanking and corrwrntlons.
The Improvement of Manila Hnrlior has mnde good progress. The work of constructing n tempornry wharf at the Important port of Celiii bns been com¬ pleted, nnd the Improvement of the hnrlior nt Hollo Is In progress.
Regarding the tnrlff on Ihe Philip- lline products In the I'nited Stntes the Si'cretnry snys:
"The reiMirts of fjovernor Wright nnd of Commissioner Worcesler show, whnt bns appenn'd lu the re|)orts from the Islnnds since the Amerienn occn¬ pntlon. the necessity for reducing the tnrlff on rhilippine products entering the I'niteil Stntes. lu order Hint we ma.v give to Ihe Islands n market In .\inerli'a, leading lo a revival of busi¬ ness In the Islands."
(General )Vood has a good word for the .Moros. "Wllh all their faults." he snys, "they are brave and resolute, and under good laws nnd an honest govern¬ inent In time will give a good account of thninselves. He snys the stnndlng of the .\merlcau people niuong the na¬ tives of his province has been much IU- Jiireil by the presence of a large, tough class of Americans, "w-lioso energies have been prlnclnally expended In the construction, maintenance and patron¬ age of rum shops, which outnumber other .\inerlcaii business eslnlillsh- moiits."
Iteferrliig to the proposed Imud Issue of $.").(KK).IKX) for geueral linnrovemeiits Ihe Secretary says that owing lo a do¬ flelt tbis year it Is very Important that thp section of the bill which hns pnssed the House nnd Sennte nlready author¬ izing the Issue of the bonds bc enacted. The Seci'clnry further snys that it la likely the customs revenues during tho next six inonths will Increase fo their normal amount, avoiding the possibil¬ ity of a doflelt.
Ill regni'd to the regnlntlon of tbn opium trnde the Secretary says the plan of the opium cominlttee ought to lie adopted with one vnrlnllou. and thnt is Instead of a tiovernineiit monopoly fnr three years a very high license Iw Instituted with sale of the drug only lo ufflcially registered smokers nnd a lutal prohibition of the sale of opium afler three years, except for medical purposes.

The Uro sinrted In a w-ell-flllod paint shi>p, and was well uuder way when it WHS discovered by a guard.
He sent In an alarm, promptly arous¬ ing the Warden and tlie entire force of gtiards. While tbey were making ready to light the blnzo with the prison apparatus, dense and sickoning siuoke spread throughout the reformatory, penetrating to tbe cells on every tier. rho lustilutioii was overcrowded. Tbe noise aroused tbc prisoners. When through the smoke tbey became aware of what had hnppenetl they were selaed Ti-ltb fear and begnn hammering at their cell doors.
"Do you want to roast us, like rats?" some of them yelleil. Some were pray¬ ing, some were singing hymns, uthei-a -B'ere shouting for a priest, while oth¬ ers again were cursing, aud shouted tbat tbey would break down the doors that held tbem impriaoned.
AVben It was found that the fire wos tpreadlng, despite the efforts of the guards, tiie cell doors woro at last un¬ locked, and the prisoners marched out Into the Retormntory .vnrd under n heavy guard of keepers, armml wltb rifles. It was then fouud that Ibirty of tbe Inmates had heoii overcome by tbe smoke that hnd poured through tbe corridors, Iu tbelr unconscious condition they were carried from the building by tbelr keepers. They were reauacitateil by rrisoii Physician Hougli and outside prnctltloners who bad arrived in response to hurry calls.
It is said that the flre apparatus In Ibe prison was defective, nnd thnt the hose was rotten nnd burst. Whether this ia true or not. It is oertain Hint It waa only the prompt nrrival of the town flre department that saved the prison from destrnctlon.
Tbe origin of ihe flre was a myster.T, although there seemed to be n dispo¬ sition to attribute It to spoulnneous couibuRllon. Tbe damage w-aa $10,000. Besides this, the B<rllllinn records, kept in tbe annex building, were ren¬ dered w-ortbless hy Iieing soaked with water. The flre baf-dly got beyond Ibe paint shop.
