You would not call a man your companion if you never spoke to him. That is a good old phrase, 'Our walk and "When two walk together, one is always tbe leader, the other the follower. There is no walking with God if you want to choose the way." Getting near to Christ is not all on our own side as we draw near to bim, he also draws near to us. He is even more willing to receive us than we are to come unto him; and all are heartily welcome witb him. SELECTIONS.

If through the communication of the Holy Spirit tbe life of Christ is constantly imparted to ns, that life will prevail in us. In proportion to the closeness of our abiding in bim will be the completeness of our deliverance from sinning. A. J. Gordon, D.

D. To be a public representative of Christianity is a mockery and hypocrisy unless it is accompanied with growing faith in OENERAL NEWS. Ia BaMt aa Vea. Ut- The bronze equestrian statue of Gen. John A.

Logan in Iowa circle, Washington, was unveiled on Tuesday of last week in the presence of the president and his cabinet and a large company of distinguished personages. In the company was Mrs. John A. Logan, and many representatives of Gen. Logan's old comrades.

Addresses were delivered by President McKinley and Cbaunccy A. Depew. The statue of Gen. Logan is of bronze and is 14 feet high, tbe figure being twice life size. The general is represented riding along a line of battle with sword in hand and his horse at a trot.

On its west face is a group representing Gen. Logan in consult ition with the principal officers of the army of tbe Tennessee. In tbe group are included Gens. Dodge, Hazen, Slocum, Leggett, Mower. Blair and Capt.

Strong. On the east face is a group representing Gen. Logan in the act of taking the oath of office as a United States esnator. Tbe oath is being administered 4y Vice-President Arthur. The other figures represent Senators Ctllom, -Evarts, Conkling, Morton, Miller, Voorhees and Tburman.

Gen Grenville M. Dodge, who presided at the dedicatory exercises, is the only living general represented in tbe military group. The statue represents seven years of labor by Franklin Simmons, tbe sculptor, and marks a departure in sculpture in Washington in that it rests' on a pedestal of bronze. Congress appropriated $50,000 for the statue, and was contributed by the Grand Army of tbe Republic Since the statue was unveiled it has been discovered that the scene represented by the civil group is not historically accurate. It is said that severaj of the leading men represented were in no way connected with tbe actual occurance.

Mrs. Logan has replied to this by stating that there was no attempt at historical accuracy in chosing the statesmen to be represented in the gronp, but that they Were selected as representatives of the time Gen. Logan served in the senate. Gifl far PMIlipa Academy. The alumni of Phillips Academy, An dover, held their annual meeting and dinner at the University Club last week Tuesday night.

Walker. Colonel Aldace F. Walker, one of Ver-moet't best known on, died inddtnly Hew York Sunday morning. He was baTe tailed for Europe on that day. q01 Walker bai been a prominent figure Vermont life tince 1862 in which year graduated from Middlebnry College tbe uniform of a first lieutenant, hav-jne bat a few days before been chosen for that position in Co.

11th Term on Tolnnteers. His army record is a good one. He was promoted regularly and on June 2-ttb, 1864, when bat a little more than 22 years of age be was a major and rear later was brevet ted Heat-colonel for gallantry in battle. Later he published an interesting book of reminiscences entitled "The Vermont Brigade in tbe Shenandoah Valley." Of his career the Springfield Republican says editorially: Tbe sudden death of Aldace F. Walker takes away a man ol prominence in tbe railroad world and a lawyer of high attainments.

He is best known as one ol the original members of the interstate commerce commission, who, with Judge Cooley, bad most to do with patting the jniportant federal legislation of 1887 into working order; later as the choice of large railroad interests to manage the trunk-line traffic association, known as the "gentlemen's agreement;" and more recently receiver and then chairman of the board of directors of the Atchison railway system. Mr. Walker was successful in all these different employments, proving him to be a man of large and varied ability. He was a native of Rutland, Vt, born in 1 842, the only son of a Congregational clergyman, and graduated from Middlebnry college in 1862. i i At the close of tbe war Col.

Walker studied law in New York city and practiced there some time, later removing to his native place, where he became prominent in railway litigation, and as counsel for the Vermont and Canada road he made a notable fight against the Smith or Central Vermont ring in its efforts to swallow the former line without paying anything for it. It was at Rutland practicing law that President Cleveland fonnd him when the duty arose ot making np the commission to administer tbe interstate commerce act. Col. Walker was one of the two republicans chosen, was highly indorsed at the time and amply proved tbe fitness of the appointment. The big railroad interests of the country very soon thereafter discovered bis capacity and managed there-alter to appropriate his services.

He was a friend of Senator Edmonds who doubtless was influential in drawing Mr. Cleveland's attention to him. He was at one time a member of the Vermont Sen-ateand shaped tbe legislation creatmgthe state railroad commission. Col. Walker was a man of large frame, six feet tall, broad-shouldered and stout of figure, and it was said at the time that in point of appearance at least he would be taken as the head of the interstate commission.

Ever since his appointment to that position he had been an occasional contribu tor to magazines on railway and other subjects, bis latest article relating to the isthmian canal project. The funeral was held at Rutland Monday and was one of the largest ever known in the state. Among tbe honorary pall bearers were several prominent is the state and railroad affairs. Death Old VermBlcn ia California. The San Francisco Chronicle of March 31 contains announcements of the death of Boratio M.

Templet on, March 29, and that of Leander G. Cole, March 30. These men were natives of Vermont. Mr. Templeton was a son of the late Horatio Templeton of Worcester.

Three sisters are living in the latter place, a brother in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and another in Omaha, Nebraska. Mr. Cole formerly lived up the Branch. Of him the Chronicle says: Cole came to California from bis native state, Vermont, in 1851. For a time he engaged in mining and was fairly successful, but in 1860 he went to Australia, where he secured government contracts for carrying mail and express matter over the stage lines which he established and which he managed for ten 'years, amass-inga large fortune.

Returning to America in 1870 he took np his residence in this city and began speculating in real estate. He died possessed of a considerable fortune. Several years ago he had a stroke of paralysis, and since that time he has attended to little or no business. He partly recovered from his first stroke and hope was entertained that he would wtirely recover, when the second shock came and rendered him perlectly helpless. For the past few weeks his death has been expected at almost any time.

In the early seventies Cole took quite an active interest in nolitics and was elected re Xm 40) ri co ctcirc't'iici oc 5 -t a si ccesececBRo jis noecaxscc -M cecscasecsxcRcco Mi'-aasaaiii'iit'ai-ei ceccr-soc-no fcH ''eNhVhVh ai co ceo :0 :0 :0 :9 40A :3 0 94 0OOOOOOOHHrHHC BS(SSi'o -o :0 Pioo 4 jcoa jio-3 liffljo flB 00 1" P5 a t.HHHWH 3 9, -4 Tub "5 8- 03 3 3 5 i 5 5 ail al (9 0 aa Ha 4 1 1 5 tNNaioooe CQ 0)05-oqHNO''ONCOlOH fl MONTPELIER AND WELLS RIVER R.

At the Catholic educational conference at Chicago last week Dr. Conaty of the Catholic University at Washington said: Tbe Catholic church spent last year in tbe United States tbesumof $25,000,000 on education, chiefly in parochial schools and exclusive ot what was spent in academic, colleeiate and university educa tion. Notwithstanding tbe serious de mand made on ber for cburcb and chant- able development, she has under her educational training over 1,000,000 pupils.

Of these about 10,000 bave received collegiate instructions under her direction. Mgr. Conaty contended that a most important issue in Catholic educational work is in tbe development ot the Uatn- olic bigh schools, which are tbe necessary links between tbe parochial schools and the Catholic colleges. The tendency to add college work to the high school course and thus make an easy step to tbe university or to business ltte presents a serious problem to tbe college and demands consideration. If tbe taieb school movement be over looked or neglected the parochial school system is in danger of becoming a feeder for tbe public high schools, tbus leading its graduates to tbe non Catholic college or university.

Mgr. Conaty closed with a strong appeal to the colleges to be loyal to one another and loyal to the university. Dr. Goodwin Beaigaa. Many Harvard men will regret Prof.

Here and There. A Northerner who recently visited West era Florida reports that the negroes of that section ot tbe state are unanimous in their opposition to its proposed annexation to Alabama.

"The viceroy, Earl Li Hung Chang, was calling on the Ameri can minister, Mr. Conger, and he spoke of tbe said Mr. Conger, it seems to be dry everywhere. It is dry in my country, too.

India's Decreaaiag Popalaiiaa. The depopulation of India through famine and cholera is assuming alarming proportions. The latest advices from Simla say tbe census returns of tbe central provinces show a decrease of over a million since 1891, when an increase of one and one-half millions might have been expected.
