I’m » ptculiu ftllbw: I do love my wife.
It t»kea a cold pew to make a cold pulpit.
There is nbthliig better In heaven than religion.
Our actions of to-day are the thoughts of yes

A truthftil woman is the greatest adornment of
a home.
It takes prayer, study and thought to get up a
first-class sermon.
If you Uve in impure thoughts you will be im
pure in your lives.
Profanity is more or less a profession of your
loyalty to the devil.
A church that can’t do anything but keep itself
straight is a failure.
When a heart is ohuuk full of error there is uo
room in there for the truth.
We are in uo position to help or hurt the
church until we are inside it.
Nobody ever went to sleep indifferent to relig
ion and waked up in heaven.
A child is loved by God because it has no opin
ions and wants to learn something.
It takes a first-class preacher and a first-class
hearer to get up a flrstrclnss sermon.
Dishonesty in the church is really crippling the
church mrre than anything else.
I want to see our young girls grow up better
women than our mothers and wives are.
I never heard yet of a committee asking for a
preacher that is popular with God Almighty.
You can help your preacher, instead of ever
lastingly calling on your preacher to help you.
Don’t get into anybody’* way with your natu

Run into heaven barefooted and bareheaded

If we’re right we can’t be hurt by the truth,

It's got so now that if you steal $6 they’ll put
you in a Jail, but if you steal $10,00* they’ll call

, The trouble with the church is that it is a vast
hospital; it takes all the well oues to take care of
the sick ones.
You show me a man who keeps the Sabbath

week. •
The infidelity that hurts is the infidelity of the
man who makeB out he’s on God’s side, and then
won’t live up.
Find me a man preparing himself to hear the
gospel, and I can show you a man that is going
to be benefited by the gospel.
The man who will break one of God's com

will turn him loose, will break them all.
AN ACTOR IN POLITICS.
How “Bob” Downing llorame “Spartaeos” in
“The Gladiator.”
Robert Downing, who ployed here last week as
“Spartacus,” is an enthusiastic young farmer.
He spends his summers on his farm in Prince
George’s county, Maryland, two or three hours
drive from Washington. His neighbors always
get “Bob,” as they call him, to make speeches at
picnics, deliver addresses of welcome at church
festivals and read the Declaration of Independ
ence on the 4th of July, because he has stento
rian lungs and is immensely popular in that part
of the country.
At a inass-meeting one Saturday afternoon in
the middle of last summer lie was called on for
his views about some proposed change in the
county road law. He did not know exactly what
the meeting wanted, or which way it leaned, but
he saw no way of escaping from a speech. Ac
cordingly he decided to hedge on the question,
and he started oifwith some general remarks on
the advantage of roads and the necessity of keep
ing them in good order. He dilated on the neces
sity for exercising economy, and wound up with
a spirited declamation of Artemus Ward’s
graphic description of Horace Greely’s ride over
the mountains. The applause was deafening,
and somebody in the crowd jumped up on a
wagon and nominated Downing for the legisla
ture, the election for which was eighteen mouths
off.
The meeting, however, indorsed him and
promised to send him to Annapolis when the
proper time came. Borne friends, who were mem
bers of a political club in Washington, heard of
the matter a few days later, aud volunteered
their help. Downing rather liked the idea. He
had been traveling around over the country for
ten years and was not disinclined to follow the
example of Cincinnatus and exchange the tragic
sword for the handles of the plow. One day,
however, Joe Mack, the manager, drove over from
Washington to see him. Downing mentioned his
idea of giving up his profession. The principal
object of the manager’s visit was to talk Down
ing into buying a part interest in “The Gladia
tor,” which belonged to the MeCuIlough estate,
and starring the young agriculturist as “Sparta
cus.” Downing did not looWavorably upon the
project at first, and it took Mack the greater part
of two days to induce him to give up the farm
and legislature, and then it was only at the sac
rifice of two of Mack’s imported pointer dogs
which Downing had long coveted.
COMM1TTEB OK INVESTIGATION.
TheC'harges Against Judge Esin and Others to be
Thoroughly Investigated,
Atlanta Constitution.
The joint committee of the geueral assembly,
appointed to investigate the charges against
Judge J. C, Fain, of the Cherokee circuit, and
Hon. W. R. Rankin, a former senator, met at the
-capitol yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock. Sen
ator Hawkes was elected chairman. The question
of the election of a secretary caused a brief dis
cussion. It was then agreed to employ Mr. G. Y.
Tigner, stenographer of the Chattahoochee cir
cuit.
The committee adopted a resolution, admitting
to its sessions the defendants’ counsel, and the
newspaper reporters. A sub committee was ap
pointed to secure a room in which to hold the
sesssons. An adjournment was then had until
this morning at 11 o’clock.
Interviews with members of the committee led
to the information that the investigation will he
very searching. It is intended that no restrictive
rules shall be adopted, but that those who have
brought the charges and the defendants also
shall havfe the fullest opportunity of presenting
their cases. One of tile members said, “We in
tend to let down the bars, so that all the evidence
obtainable, pro and con, shall be heard. It is
our puipose to get at the truth, let it hurt whom
it may. The charge:, are grave, and the defend
ants, as far as known, aru prominent- Anything
short of the most thorough investigation would
be a great mistake.”

Charleston, November 16.—A fire this

replies in the following cool language :

New Youk, November 14—The World’s

O’Donohue and Congressman-elect llourke
Cochran returned to New York on the
congressional train this afternoon. Mi •
O’Donohuc, at the special invitation of the
president, spent last evening at the white
house. 1 asked Mr. O'llonohuo to-tlay to
eivo me an account of his visit.
This visit had more than
ordinary significance, because an
hour before the invitation was sent to the
lender an interview with him had ap
peared in one of the evening papers here,
In which he had declared himself as
against Mr. Cleveland and his policy. Mr.
CVDonohue said that they hud u very de
lightful evening at the white house. His
reception was more ot a social than a po
litical one. He was presented to Mrs.
Cleveland and the family. '4 hey sat down
in contented family circle, and had music
and small talk. During tiecourseof the
evening the president and Mr. Donohue
had some conversation upon political af
fairs. Mr. Donohue talked very
plainly to the president. He

cants. I desire to ask, and claim that I
have a right to expect, to be promptly in
formed by you whether 3uch charge is in
tended to in any manner apply to me. If
so, yoti will doubtless have no hesitation in
affirming it; if not, you should distinctly
say se.
I am aware that the communication
charges me with a violation of rule 8 of
the amended civil service rules (providing
against discrimination because of political
opinion or affiliation), in that an over
whelming majority of the new appointees
in this office have been democrats. This
charge of “violation” can be quickly,easily
and properly disposed of. I am also aware
that under the civil service law, rules and
regulations the charge of “fraud” in the
conduct of the examinations applies to the
members of the local board of examiners,
but the language of your communication
seems to justify the inference in the public
mind that such charge is made aguinst me
as well; and 1 claim to be entitled to an
explicit answer if such charge be intended
to be applied to me by you and your col
leagues, go that I may pursue such
remedies as are open to me for
proper vindication. I may properly add
that I am informed by the members of the
board of examiners that no disclosure
whatever of papers or of their contents
was made by any member thereof to any
person whatever, and that of all applicants
and visitors (the latter to the number of
perhaps 200 at various times and from va
rious places) the only persons who asked
to be furnished with the papers which
contained the questions to be answered
were Messrs. W. W. Montgomery, W. Her
bert Washington and R. Francis Wood,
all, as you are aware, members of ydur as
sociation. For what purpose they would
have been used I do not know, nor will I
make any insinuation. I am sure they
were desired for proper purposes, but I
submit it is quite as fair to presume against
innocence in their case as in that of others.
Respectfully, William F. Harkity,
Postmaster.
The local examining board makes a long
reply, in which warm words are used after
this fashion:
The local board of examiners desires to
lir.gness to be advised, and said that ho
would do all in his power to secure har-
| uinny ami satisfaction. 1 asked Mr. O’Don-
i obuo what was the effect of the visit, to the
I white iiofisc upon his personal opinion re-
j gurdingtbe president.
“1 went up there,” he said in reply, “an
| anti-Cleveland man, and I came away
i more of nil anti Cleveland man than ever,
i I leave Washington to-day opposed to him
I und his policy, and I don’t care who knows
| it. I am glad I came over here. 1 found
democrats from all sections of the country,
and they are all of one way of thinking—
; they are opposed to Cleveland. I have just
; come out of a conference of representative
democrats, where wo discussed the general
situation. There was not a man who stood
up for Cleveland or who would be for him
in 1888 under any circumstances.”

Savannah News, 15th.
The case of Jones vs. Lamar, which was
decided in favor of the defendant by the
supreme court of Georgia Inst week, has
been removed to the United States courts.
*18,000 are involved in the suit the parties
interested in which belong to one of the
most widely known families in the state.
Jones is a resident of New York, and is the
administrator of the executor of G. B.
Lamar, who died several years ago. Prior
to the breaking out of the war G. B. Lamar
was quite wealthy. In 1859 his son, Charles
A. L. Lamar, gave a mortgage to the Bank
of the Republic for *120,000. In 1865 Charles
A. L. Lumar was killed in one of the last
tights of the war. After the war G. B.
Lamar was allowed $000,000 for cotton
seized by the federals and a little later he
bought up the mortgage against his son’s
estate.
After G. B. Lamar’s death his executor
claimed that the son’s estate was indebted
to the G. B. Lamar estate the amount of
the mortgage less what had been paid on
it, perhaps $10,000. The question was not
settled during the executor’s life aud now — r

charge, inference and assumption so far as
" inis
they relate to the action of this board, or
to the examinations held under its
auspices in February and March last, are
without foundation in fact, and are made
by you and your association either igno- I
rantly or with wilful intention to mislead !
ami deceive the public.
The reply gives the history of the exam- I
illations of this year in detail and also 1
mentions the attempt of members of the I
Civil Service Reform Association to obtain [
copies of the examination papers. It shows ;
that tiic utmost care was taken to save the |
examination papers from being stolen or j
opened surreptitiously. It draws attention ;
to a letter of Charles Hyman, chief exam-|
inor, to the board of examiners, dated at ;
Washington, March 23, acknowledging
their answer to the charges previously I
made against them and pussing an en-
comium on their honesty and trusuworthi- ■
ness. In conclusion the members of the
board give vent to their feelings in lan
guage which needs no interpretation.
There has never been a time when you j
might not have secured all the informa- .
tion contained in this letter. But not one
of your committee ever had the manliness !
to make any application in writing or to [
enquire of any member of the board os to j
the truth of the matters which you allege, j
You have rather preferred to get your
facts from partisan and unfair attacks in
the newspapers and from “people on the |
streets,” as you naively express it. You ;
carried your budget to tile civil service i
commission months ago, only to be told I
that its contents were trivial aud uuworthy ■
of serious consideration. You have sought
notoriety in the public press, but there
has never apparently been a time when j
you endeavored to ascertain the truth.
You have shielded yourselves behind a
refuge of lies in order that you might
attack the character of men holding
high and responsible positions
under the federal government. No man
who fills any office in which recourse to
the civil service law is necessary for the
filling of vacancies has ever received a
single encouraging word from you. Even
the humble instruments of the law in the
post office and custom house have been
subjected to your animadversions. Mr.
Dorman B. Eaton, late president of the
civil service commission, took occasion to
rebuke you at a public dinner a few
months ago for your unwarranted attack
upon a high public official. It may be
that reformers by profession can do these
things, but gentlemen and men of dignity
and character who really believe in the
principles of civil service reform have
never yet successfully resorted to them
and won the confidence of the public.

not left town. Fricks was carried into trifugals, strictly prime 24c, fair to prime
the house of Mr. Wilkerson Smallwood,
and Doctors King and Wilcher called in.
An investigation of the wounds showed
that the jugular vein was severed and that
the blade of the knife, when the second
thrust was made, entered the left lung.
The attending physicians, while they did
everything in their power to relieve the
sufferer, their efforts accomplished noth
ing, ana he died in about an hour.
The exact origin of the difficulty is not
positively known. A short time before
the cutting Fricks and Clark were talking
in a friendly manner, which afterwards led
to hot words, followed by curses. The
killing occurred within a few feet of the
place where John Coffee killed Merritt.
