THE FRANKLIN COUNTY R m H_i» a i • ->^n. 'lLi |fc* • BY ELLEN J. DORTCil- YOL. XI. NO- 8. SAM S MAL L A COMMUNIST, He Explains What the word Means in its Highest Sense. Faneull Hall was packed a( noon yesterday with men eager to Hear Rev. Sam Small. Before the str mon Rev. L. B. Bates, of East Bos ton announced that the committee had received a great many letters from people who had been converted under the preachings of the evange liscs. Mr. Smali’s sermon was substanti. oily as follows: I shall speak to you today from. Acts iv., £*2. Please take in its full significance: “and the multitude of them that belieued were of one will oae sold.” I am a Com¬ munist and a Socialist. I hope I shall offend no one in mrking that statement. If I were to say I was a demagogue, speaking politically, you would take it that I meant a man of chameleon like character, who took the color of ni# opinions and actions for the things dependent upon them for the moment. You might think I Was a shuttlecock that-might be bandied about so long as I kept my self in the air. The original word demagogue meant something high pure, grand, noble and self sacrificing The original demagogue was a man who bad sympathy for his people, and had also the manhood, grit and nerve to stand up and voice the truth in any presence. When I say I am a Communist and Socialist 1 don’tmean the low, groveling, unjust beings who consider it right to di¬ vide among themselv cs every mans ***“-**'-’ property and outrage puhlio—ianrn orde'r and decency* I am a commu¬ nist in the highest seas© of the word and by that I mean in this sense that Jesus Christ was a Communist. I am a communist in the sense the apostles were Communists. I believe in the proper kind ox communism, the com¬ munism of heart and soul that makes every man a brother. I believe, in the communism that means love an il sympathy and brotherly kindness [Applause - ]. Laboring men are talk¬ ing about running (he government of the country. I say if the laboring men of this country would put into force and effect the principles of Je sus Christ, I pray God they may succeed. But if you. only want to change one class legislation for another, I pray God yon may not succeed. Henry George has recog¬ nized in the pres*, what it is in real¬ ity, the mighty engine of progress, and he has started a newspaper to propagate his doctrines, George has had experience in journalism. He learned progress in listening to the throbbing of pi esses, and poverty while eating attic salt in the sanctum [Laughter]. I know all about it for I have had a similar experience. But for any kind of socialism to succeed and be of any value to this earth it must be founded upon the principles of Jestts Christ. The principles of love, kindness, virtue and brotherly sympathy 13 the kind of communism he taught, and that is the kind of so¬ cial elevation the people need to-day It is a common thing to hear people saj that The churches are for the xich, and the poor are not wanted in them; but instead of invading the gilded dome on the Capitol at Wash¬ ington, yon should invade the churches of this country. Go to the churches take them bv storm, incul nat* in them the teachings •£ Jesus Christ* anil turq the hypocrites out, [Applause], Every one ot u» that M burden#*! with them will thunk youioj U. [Laughter]. Talk about y*»i when w# have got the sytiu pathy that g#es with races. Talk r about sympathy when we have the sympathy of this great family that makes the American nation. Why, we have sympathy enough in this nation, to make it a nation such as Christ would have it, a nation filled .with earthly love and communion of spirit. We have the power and the opportunity in this country to be¬ come not only practical workingmen and practical Americans, but we can also become practical Christians. I am optimist tnongh to believe it to be possible of accomplishment.—Pos¬ ton Herald. RICH WITHOUT MONEY. Many a man is rich without money Thousands of men with nothing in their pockets, and thousands with a good sound constitution, a good heart and good limbs, and a pretty good head piece, aie rich. Good bones arc better than gold, tough muscles better than silycr, and nerves that flash fiie and car¬ ry energy to every function, are better than houses and land. It is belter than landedestate to have the right kind of fitther and mother. Good breed and bad breed exist among men as really as among herds and horses. Education may c oynucli to check evil tendencies, or to develop good ones, but it is good to inherit the right proportiun of facultie 8 to start with. That man is rich who has a flavor of wit and fun in his com¬ position. The hardest tiling to get along with in this life is a man's own self. A cross, solfish, fellow, a desponds ing and complaining fellow, a timid care-burdened man—these are ail de¬ formed on the inside. Their feet may not limp, but their thoughts do. A man of fortune, on the brink of tLe grave part wU ir-tircry ' donor -to obtain a longer lease of life—House¬ hold. PLEASURES. The highest, the best, the most permanent pleasures, are those which are not sought, but which come from tho faithful fullfilment of life’s duties and obligations. Indeed, the search after pleasure in any direction is al ways'fruitless; because it implies a condition of mind to which enduring happiness is a stranger. Selfishness and enjoyment may do well together a brief season, but - the latter will soon wither away undei the scorch¬ ing influence af the formor. It is by recognizing and respecting fhe qual¬ ity of pleasure rather than its quan¬ tity, its kind rather than its degree, its source rather than itself, that we learn to appreciate the truth that (he purest and most enduring happlnes is but the natural effect of the wisest, worthiest and most noble life, and is always inseparable from it.—Coluvn bus Enquirer. The Washington Post has tbo follow¬ ing which is very aptly put: “iience forth the south will be a potential unit among the great people of the world It wili divide production with the North and rapid growth with the West Shef field and Birmingham will he followed by other hives of enterprise, and mis cellaneous manufactures and commerce will re-iaforce a monotenous agriculture. Emigration has turned thither, and no part of the world is moie full of prom¬ ise.” Rev Dr. fill Smokier, tho seat made of Atlanta vacant ^ by .lines to Dr. Woodrow’s expulsion.

The electricians seem to be eon spiring to bring all the forces of na¬ ture into a man’s house, where will be on tap for ns# as wanted, They already furnish light to be called info being with the turn of a thumbscrew; they bring the butcher and baker, friends and business rela¬ tions to speak into the car from a distance, and last night the Ameri¬ can Institute of Electrical Engineers tcok up the subject of “small mo¬ tors,” by which they propose to ia troduce by use of electrical wires power to run all sorts of small ma¬ chines. Mr. Schuyler S. Wheeler of the C A C motor company, presents a paper on tho subject* in which he commented on the lack #f attention heretofore given to this wide and practical field for electrical develop¬ ment, particularly where steam is not obtainable or desirable. After describing the methods for overcom¬ ing tho difficulties inherent in lbe problem, he lllust.iated the solution of it with some very interesting ex¬ periments. The ordinary electric light burner was taken from the wire, just as it came for illuminating purposes, in the diningroom of Cable's rest uranf where ths meeting was hold, and the motor attached.in place of the light. With the power thus obtain¬ ed from the Edison incandescent light current he set in motion, with force sufficient in each cage fer prac tW vewitm, 1 tm,», sowing machines elevators, dental lafhes and various small tools, such as one would ordi¬ narily use iu a house. Other motors a variety of which were exhibited, were run by small primary batter ries and similar results obtained. It was said that already from five to six thousand of these motors were in successful operation in this coun¬ try. Enthusiastic electrician* believe that the practical utility ot the in¬ visible wizard of the wire is only in its infancy, and that som# day man¬ kind will dispense with horses lor their carriages, as well as with small boys for errands, and will say, “John turn on the battery.” when they want to drive in tho Park.—New York Herald.

Some New York physicians think that improvements in hanging are urgently needed. They want to make the (loath penalty easy, pleas¬ ant and delightful. Electricity has been proposed by them for capital punishment, and the Legislature yes¬ terday considered a bill to substitute the electric battery ior the hang¬ man’s rope An electrician at the Edson build¬ ing in pearl street, where electricity is manufactured for illuui.nating p urposes, was yesterday asked how people might be killed with neatness and dispatch by electricity. He said that it was the easiest,matter in the world. All a condemned man would have to do at tho hour ami moment when he was to leave the world for orighter climes, would be to take hold of two wires, one connected with a positive battery and the other with a negative Wit teiy. Acting thus as a conductor between the two wires the electrici¬ ty would go through him like a stroke of lightning. He would die in an infinitesimal fraction of a **c ond. llis taking off would bo as painless as it was sadden. He would never know what had hit him. He might stand ou two plate*, receive the electric current through Ins toes and die with his boots on. He might sit in a chair with his feet resting on the plates and die com¬ fortably. KiLliug the conderunuid by elec¬ tricity is a humane, civilized and scientific way of disposing of them. A man is usually sixteen minutes in dying at the end of a hangman’s lope, uul be usually suffers a great deal before death comes to relieve him. A one-cell battery would kill all the prisoners who will ever be hail god in the Tombs under the pres¬ ent law. The only people opposed to the use of electricity in capital punishment are the hangmen, and iliey are opposed to i.t because it would throw them ont of work, if the gallows arc taken down all the iiangraenin the country will strike, Th3 readers of the Register will he pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able* to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh, Hall’s Catarrh cure is tho only positive cure now known in the medical fraternity Catarrh being a constitutional disease requires a constitutional treatment.

The new gun for the use of which subject to the approval of tho Secro of the Navy, Congress has appropri¬ ated the sum of 1350,000, to be ap¬ plied to the construction of a vossei which will carry three of them, will carry a four hundred pound projec¬ tile, is twelve and one half inch cal¬ ibre and 50 feet in length, and will be operated by compressed air,thc ex¬ treme length of the gun being neccs saiy to secure greater speed for the projectile, as tho air continues to ae celento its motion from the breech t* the muzzie. Tliero will b# a bat¬ tery of three of these guns, trained on the perpendicular, for the vessel which carries them will never oxposo her broadside to an enemy. She will steam ou, and then if necessary retire to load without turning, so that she will never present much of a mark to bs fired at, and e*eh gun tail be loaded and worked by a single man. The explosive agent to be used iu this gun is nitro-gelatine or nitro¬ glycerine gelatinized. It will be placed in a steel projcfiilo eleven feet in length. As a fuse could not be used without prematurely ex¬ ploding tho projectile, and percuss sion is hazardous, electricity is used for exploding it, a battery being placed in the point of the projectile, which produces a spark by concussion or by the notion of water on a sen silized surface, whilo at tho other end of the projectile is a knob which answers the purposo of a rudder and steer# it with tho greatest accuracy. From the experiments which have been made at Fort Lafayctto with one of these guns it Is found that the nitro-gclatiuo can be fired two miles with precision, and with no risk to those handling it as tho air gun gen¬ erates no beat. It will, in fact throw a projectile of tho same relative pro¬ portions two-thirds as far as a rifled cannon. It has great advantage, alio of making no noiie or smoke so that no attention would bo called to its discharge from a vesicl or a shore battery. Its adaptability t« field op oration is also established as it is found that guns arc perfectly prac¬ ticable which will throw from ton to twenty pound of nitro-gelatine the distance of a mile. 3 uch in snbstanca are tho general characteristics of tho new explosive and the gun which fires it. Its dead ly ohects have been so well demon¬ strated that naval oxports did not hesitate to say that ouo ot these pro¬ jectiles, striking her amjdsbip, would destroy any vessol afloat and ouo on board of her. This is suffici¬ ently destructive, to say the least and it brings up tho interesting question bow long war could last if all natious wore supplied with it, and if the re¬ sult of tho struggle tvero simply de¬ pendent in the alertness of ono enomy in firing his nitro-gelatine first. A combat of this sort, where a single shot can destroy tlie most poweHul vossei and till on board, raze a forti¬ fication to the ground or if used in the field blow a whole regiment to kingdom come would not bo a very desirable cue. fetrategctic anmeWvors w«u'd be supplanted by wbolesa^ slaughter and it is questionable nbetb er men could be found willing to march to certain death.
