Gomel Wbo Made 06 Record Jeer courage and Cooiness-The Sudden "'eking Ceir of Sane Drove, a, Istotorlone Desperado. "WW1 Bill was a desperado and a dans (prone one, although I must say for him that be did his killing cbiefly among bad men, But at Pioche, Nev., he enbreitted leo ataese as peacefully as a Iamb when Eu- gene Blair came for Jinn. I forget; what 13111 bad heeu doing, but the Picabe people didn't want him there, and Blair started fe the stage vrith birn for Careen City." Celeilei S. C. Bixou, a southwestern mine owner, Was telling of old Nevada days at an Up town hotel, and his subjeet at tbe moment was Eugene Blair, a guard and messenger for the Wells-Pargo Ex- press company at an early time. "The prisoner was banticulred, of ,eourse, and Blair eat beside Min in the acacia. It was generally thous/at that Bill's Irlends would try to rescue bim some - %tem on the road, which led Bleir to say to him e " .Din, I've heard that your friends aro • going to get you away from me between here and COrFan if tbey eau. Likely enough tlinY will, but It's fair to tell you that it'll never do you any good, for I ,thall shoot you dead at the first brenk tla7 rank°. It's wtil to bate the mutter under- stood between us.' • "'.Ml right, Blair,' said Wild Bill in a Cheerful way, but the ollicer's remark set bins to thinking. As they moue near Elko he grew uneasy. Pioche was not a COM- lortablo or safe town for Bill to be in at that time, bee before they got to the stn. tion he askt.d Blair to take him back there. "'The fact is I've got friends at rao, and I'm afraid if we go there they'll put up a move to rescue me,' no said. 'If they know youll do just as you said. tbink ray chances aro better to go back than go ahead.' "But word got to tbe friends somehow of stoat would happen If they interfered, and Blair took his prisoner to Carton with no trouble. "Eugene Blair was from the state of Maine and came to Nevada among the pioneers: Ile was very tall, long ihnbed and musoulass quick of motion, ready and perfectly brave. His killing of Bill Innis, the stage robber, was an exploit tbat show- ed his wonderful courage and readiness. Davis bad been the letuler in the great Birdseye robbery, in winch a Central Pa- cific train was stopped between Reno and Tahoe and a big haul made by the bandits. Davis was captured and tried for this, but by revealing where $50,000 of the plunder was bidden be got off with a year or two In the penitentiary. He took to the road again after his release, and one night, as the stage rattled along between Pioche and Elko with Blair sitting on the box beside the driver, 33111 Davis, with a confederate, appeared at the roadside and drew down a shotgun on the messenger. "'Hands up, Blair be called. 'I've got you a "There was no time for Blair to use a weapon, but he Tolled off the coach to the ground on the farther side before the rob- ber could fire. He dashed round the rear of the coach to Davis, wrested the shotgun from the robber's bands and shot him dead with his own -weapon. The other robber ran, and Blair chosed him four hours through the sagebrush, capturing him at last. You can judge by this what kind of anan Blair was, and bis killing of Davis was only one of ninny deadly shooting af- fairs he had in discharge of bis duty. He killed so many anon on the 'Wells -Fargo lines and upset so xuany schemes of rob- bery that it seemed certain, sooner or later, that he would be killed in revenge. To save his life the eapress clompany re- tired him with a pension, and be settled in Pioche. After his long career of danger on the road he lived .quietly at Pioche to die at last from injUTIOS received througb his being run over by a load of wood. "By the way, I have heard the story of the killing of the desperado, Sam Brown, from the lips of Van Sickle, the ranchin a Li who sbot him. You kttow perliaps what a terra Brown was In the early history of littevada.

Submarine Mints Said to Nave Been Bought by Spanish Officers. London, March 7.-Aceording to the statement of a man whose card describes him as being an electrical engineer, and whose name cannot be disclosed, but has been forwarded to Washington, he sold to Spanish officers in London several years ago a large number of minas, eight or ten of which were placed in Havana harbor. He says they were made in a special way, and bad a specially and peculiarly coostrcuoted cable which, he contends, he can positively identify, if the smallest piece is produced. Some of the mines, the man continued, were fixed so that they could be tired from a fort, and two of them had bulbs so arranged that they would exploded under a vessel coming in contact with them. But the seeming electrical engineer adds that he does not believe the bulbs would be used In water as shallow as that of Bavaria harbor. He exhibited the plans of one of these mines, which, he pointed out, was the 1110SO likely to produce the effect de- scribed in the case of the Maine. It was numbered "37" and was constructed to contain 500 pounds of gun cotton. This man gives one the impression that he has been a sergeant of engineers, or held some similaa: position. Ho is apparently thoroughly posted upon electrical matters and submarine ininos. He is an English- man and is willing to go to the 'United States as a witness. Tit for Tat, say the Spaniards. Madrid, March 7.---Sonor Gulion, Span- ish Minister of Foreign Affairs, recently intimated. to United States Minister Woodford that .the Spanisb Government desired the recall from Havana of Consul - General Lee, and that the Ainerioan war- ships which have been tlesigned te".anvey supplies to Cuba for the relief of the sufferers there should be replaced' by merchant vessels in order to deprive the assistance sent to the reconcentra,dos of 00 offielal character. .

Lee In the present circumstances, or to countermand he owlets for the despatch of the war vessels, making the representation that be relief vessels aro not fighting ships.

Because there is areal treasure of true believers in this fields the world, One has bought 10 who heath* right of re- demption, and. He did so by giving up all that He had.

God has a great plan which Ile hm revealed to us and those who walk with Him swill neverbe discour- aged (Isa. xlin 4; liii, 11). As to thefts* verso of our lesson Bis own explanation is tbat He Himself is the sower, true bellev- ers are the seed, and the field Is the world. 23. "But while men slept, his enemy catee and eowed tares among the wheat and went his way." His explanation In verses 38, 39, is that the tares aro tbe ehin &en of the wicked and the sower of such, Is the enemy, the devil. If men wero wide awaire-that is. Utters men -the enemy might not get in as many tares as he does, but too many aro asleep, like Jonah, turn- ing their backs on what Lied wants there 10 t16, or, lite Samson, given up to livIng unto thilliSelVeS, Letx us alt give heed to Rom, xiii, 11; Eph, v, 14. Many a preach - 00 out of employment might find light on his path taro quickly if he had no touch of either janalite or Samson's trouble. 26. "But when the blade was sprung up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. One cannot always tell which are tares and which are wheat, but the Lord knoweth them that are His, and lite will make no mistake. Each one can be sure for bimself whether he is tires or wheat, a child of tbe wicked einem a child of God. I John v, le, with John 1, 12, and 111, 16, will tell any one 'who wants really t°211w7n.o.ao the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence, then, hath it tares?' At tile mega riage in Cana the servants knew whence came the wine, but this is a more difficult case, and servants do not know every- thing; not by a good deal. We know in part, and if any man thinketh tbat he knoweth anythiog, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know (1 Cor. xiii, 0, 12; Tii82):" 21.He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them 'up?" Some servants seexn to enjoy gathering out, or attempting to gather out, the tares, or at least' in letting the taxes know what desperate tares they are in the estimatien of the wheat. 29. "But He sold, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with tliena." The rooting up or gathering up proeesa can have noreferenee to salvation, for in harvest time all are gathered -the tares for the fire and the wheat for the barn. In ohapter xv'13, He says, "Every plant which My Heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up." BO. "Let both grow together matil the harvest, and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first She tares ontl bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn." This verse is fully explained by verses 39 to 43. The harvest is the end of the age, as the extmession "end of the s world" always signifies.I do not know where we are told that this planet shall ever be destroyed. Even. Peter, in speak- ing of wonderful changes which shall oc- cur, says with great emphasis, "Neverthe- less, we, according to promise., look for a new heavens and a new earth where - ba dwells righteousness" (II Pet. iii, 13). There have been ages, and there are ages to -oone; the present one; of which our Lord epalte, already draweth to a close, but the beganoings and closings of the ages seem always to he of ati over- lapping nature rather than a decided and marked division between the tom and the other. The second coming of our Lord Jesus at the end of this age will, like His first coming,ibe a series of events, the area of whieh will . be the whole true church Taught up to meet; Him in the air (I These, i'v, 16-18). The harvest or coosiimmation here spoken of must be beyond that; for the first event in the harvest time of our lesson to the gatheriag out of the tares for the fire. It allay be at the close of the great tribulation period after the church's translatien and is probably- the same ae referred to hi Rev-, xiv, 15, ,16, and IX Thess, 1, 7-10. There is a possible far- reaching outlook in the expression, "Kam- a= of their Father," of verse 43, as con- trasted with the kingdom of the Son et Kan of verse 41.,
