Newspaper Page Text2 BISHOP NELSON AT GEIFFXN. Be Preaches on the Practical Religion of St. FauL OEirm, Ga., March 29. —Bishop C. K. Kelson, who is in the city for the purpose of sonflnning a class at St. George’s church, preached a fine sermon to a large and devout audience this morning. Bishop Kelson took his text from the first clause of Galatians ii. t 20: “I am crucified in Christ. ’’ Ha divided his subject into three heads. He said: “This text expresses the practical religion of St. Paul. He was not an enthusiast. He was an enthusiastic man, but he was not a fanatio nor an enthusiast. No man was ever a more practical everyday Christian. First he teaches us iu this sub ject the great lesson of patience. If any think that religion does not require self sacrifice he makes a great mistake, for one must be crucified with Christ. But religion with St. Paul meant self-crucifixion. One of the reasons why there are so many fail ures among Christians is because so mauy think religion requires no sacrifice. That is a fundamental error. So many seem to think that because they are baptized aud confirmed there is nothing more for them to do. This was the lesson of faith. He lived by the faith of|tbe Son of God. How many made another great mistake. They did not seem to think it was a living prin ciple. St. Paul lived as we, a life in the fiesb. Living by faith is not just believing onoe and belug saved. Frequent prayer, faithful reception of the holy communion, constant and good works, these are living by faith. His was a life of love. The principle of the Christian life was loving and serving God because Christ loved us and we gave our love in return to him. It was a corporate life, absolute liberty in this world. The church was a family and our life was cor porate. Christ in us and we in Christ, members o( his body and his bones and so members of each other. We were In a way responsible for each other In the church. The older Christians in this congregation must see to it that tbs persons to-day con firms 1 had in them examples of holy lives and the younger Christians would look to the older members and from them ordor their lives.” The rausio was a very attract ive feature of the service.

Statesboro, Ga., Maroh 29.-The sub alliauces of this oouuty is seoret sessions are declaring for the third party, and that they will not support any man who does not stand on tbe St. Louis platform. •Such was tbe result of tbeir meetings on Saturday. Tbe meo who have been nursiug tbe alliance wing of democracy now see a gigantic baby DgalDft democracy all over tbe state. Tbe encouragement given such men as Col. LivlngstOD by weak kneed democrats is responsible for It. They cow see the •rror of their way, and are sounding tbe notes of danger, after, we fear, it i too late. Secrecy, promises of cheap money, etc., work a powerful influence on meu who never read but one side of political question*. We are glad to sto the tone of the editorial in tbe Nkws of to-day and hope you will endeavor to open the eyes of our people who run read demo cratic papers on tbe fallacies of the St. Louis platform aud tbe danger of deserting tbe democratic standard.

OEOHOIA’S POLITICAL BATTLE. The Third Party Still F xcitlng a Little Apprehension. Atlanta, Ga. , March 29.— The action of the Polk county convention last Saturday is stirring up the politicians here, the chair man of that convention being an avowed member of the third party and the assembly belug composed mainly of third party dele gates. A prominent office-bolding polit.cian, who is fully alive to the necessities of the situation, said to day. iu discussing the Polk county meeting: *' It is the duty of the chairmen or the dem ocratic executive oooimittee to get his com mittee together at once, before any mors conventions are held, and take some decided action on this matter. Let them declare that only democrats who intend to stauu by the nomination of the Democratic party shall participate in demo cratic conventions or primaries. The line ought to be drawn. It will drive no man out of tbe party who is a democrat, if he is not a democrat aud does not Intend to abide the nomination, tbeu he has no more right to say who shsill be nominated than tbe rankest republican. “The Polk county democrats ought to call another convention, elect delegates to the state convention and demand admit tance over the other crowd. If the con vention follows democratic usage, or any other party usage, they will be seated Tcera is no use mincing matters or temporising matters. We have already waited too long. It Is a clear cut issue whether the Democratic party shall control Georgia, or whether it shall be turned over to the third party and their republican allies.” MILL.BDGEVILLE MENTION. Dr. Curry Addressee tbe Pupils of tbe Girls’ school. Millboeyillb, Ga., March 29.—Dr. J. L. M. Curry, agent for the Peabody and Slater educational funds, dslivered two ad dresses to the pupils of the Girls’ Industrial and Normal sobool yesterday. His line was that of normal training and be han dled the subject in a manner that made it plain to every one. He mads a thorough examination of that department of Che sobool and was so well pleased with it that it is probable that tbe donation fru... the Peabody fund for that department will he largely increased. He was shown tbe dif ferent other departments of the institution, and be declared the establishment of the college to have been the greatest work in an educational line ever done in Georgia. He pronouced the cooking department the most thorougnly equipped, and the work of that department the most perfect of any similar institution In the United States, witn tbe exception of Pratt Institute, alter which this w as modeled. A great religious wave is sweeping over Miliedgeville at present. Tbe Baptist church has i sen the scene of the meetings and Ho vs. Chapman (Baptist) and Thom is (Methodist) have led them. Hundreds of people attend each service, three times a day, and a great deal of interest has been manifested, Toe meetings will continue three weeks, after whloh the same minis ters will carry their batteries to the Meth odist church aud continue the bombard ment for three weeks more. Some old-time sinners nvve relented to the charges, and it has been suggested that if the work Is car ried on without interruption there will be very little timber left for future revivalists to work on—except in propping and re modeling tboee that fall by the wayside. A BOW OVEB A PENSION PAPER Justice Lambrlght Finds His Name Signed by Another Hand. Brunswick, Ga., March 29. — John Berry (colored), Justloe Coker’s court, the postofflce and Glynn superior court are mixed un la an alleged forgery oase that promises a big sensation, inasmuch as the alleged forgery was to a pension claim mads out for John Barry. Berry presented a pension claim to Justioe Lambrlght for bis official seal. Judge Lambrlght read the writing on tbe back of the claim and saw bis name signed in strange writing. He deolared it a forgery and demanded pos session of the pai>er. Berry refused to give it up, was arrested and oarried before Jus tice Colter. The claim was taken oharge of as evidence and Berry remained in jail, but later gave bond and was released. He said the paper was written out by VV. H. Rainey, and Dr. L. B. Davis examined him. Berry’s claim is based on disability, the result of exposure during ssrvioe on the United States gunboat New Hampshire during tbe war between the states. Dr. Davis only certified to his health. Rainey admits that he filled out the body of the claim and says thero is no mystery about it and if Justice Lam bright’s name happens to be in the wrong place it was a mistake and not Intentional, but efforts are beiug made to get the paper by some postoifioe employes or officials. One demanded tbe paper from Justice Lambright and another demanded It from Deputy Clerk of Court, Brobston, who now has it in his possession. FIRED BY A GOAT.

A couple of boxes of matches struck bis eye and lie soon bad them off the shelf on tbe floor, where be began eating them. He was very cau tious at first and chewed them gently, but soon became reckless. In a moment Billy was spitting out burning matches. Tbe matches on the floor took fire and soon the whole rear of the upstairs was ablaze. With a wild leap the goat jumped over tbe back bannister and disap peared. The only clew of bu,whereabouts are four deep footprints and a hole in the back fence. Tbe damage to tbe house and furniture will amount to 1300, which Is partially covered by insurance.

Ocala, Fla., March 29.— Your corre spondent witnessed such a remarkable church dedication at Crystal River Sunday, that is is worth relating. The most wonderful and surprising thing of all was that the word money wis not mentioned all through the service. It was a Presbyterian edifice, end the earnest workers, Mr*. Dr. Bennett, Mrs. Pardoe, Mrs. E. C. Herrick. Mrs. Barco and Miss Mattie Bradley went to work ever a year ago to supply this crying need in the piscatorial and bivalvular town of Crystal River, suc ceeded in raising over (1,2U0 iu money, securing a iot and lumber, which makes a total of (2,000 for a nsat and commodious bouse of worship, 30x50 feet. Sunday the dedicatory service occurred. Rev. Mr. Keg wen of Orlaudo, assisted by Rev. Mr. Thompson of Lakeland, a former pastor at Crystal River, officiated. Nineteen persons joited the church Sunday. THE PENCIL WORKS, Crystal River is noted as the location of one of tbs Dixon Company’s cedar pencil works. The mill employs about sixty hands in tbe factory and forty more per sons in catting cedar timber aud rafting it to the mill. The wages paid weekly amount to S6OO, most of which is spent in the ;dace and this largely assists in giving Crystal River its oorumercial importance. Cedar logs are worth from 25 to 50 oents a cubio foot, while the value of penal wood at tbe mill and In the woods ready for use for mauufaoturlng purposes is (250,000, and will run tbe mill two years without buying or outttng another cedar leg. The output of the mill in pencil strips, six or seven sizes of which are sawed, averages seventy five cases a week, wuich contain each 9 cubic feet of pencil wi od. C. K. Herreck is the euiarintendent of the mill. FISH AND OYSTERS. The other important industry is fish and oysters. During tbe season from 59 to 75 gallons of oys ters are shipped daily, Macon, Ga., being a liberal customer. Of fish, 10 to 15 Larieis leave daily, and finer fish and oysters aro nowhere to be had in th< world toan come from the waters of Crystal River and her tributaries. Crystal river bag the advantage of wuter transportation to Cellar Keys, thirty-five miles dietaries, the Sliver Springs, Ocala and Gulf railroad ex tending from Ocala to Homosnssa, this station being forty miles from the former place. The democratic county executive com mittee will meet Monday, April 4, to deter mine at what date Marion shall bold her primaries cr convention to select delegates to attend tbe slate convention. Tbe fact that arrangements are about per ■ fecteil to secure Beveral small cigar factories aud the proposed enlarging of the La Criolla is making the prospective building fever run quite high. OBIT’S FROM CANDLER. No Damage by the Late Cold—Winter Visitors Leaving for Their Homes. Candler, Fla., March 29.—Tbe damage done by the late cold snap is not as serious in this section as first supposed. Most all vegetables that were nipped are coming out all right.

Mills Resigns, Washington, March 29.— The silver excitement seemed to have entirely sub sided when the House met this morning. Tbe attendance, both on tbs floor and iu the galleries, was small and the silver and anti-silver leaders relaxed their activity. Mr. Bland and his lieutenant, Mr. Pierce, were absent, and the only leaders of the antis who were present when ths speaker called the House to order were Messrs. Tracey of New York and Harter oflOhio, whose faces wore an expression of perfeot content. The speaker laid before the House a com munication from Roger Q. Mills stating that he had sent to the governor of Texas his resignation as representative from the Ninth district of Texas to take effect to day. The communication was spread upon the journal. FIIEE WOOL TAKEN UP. After some time devoted to committee reports and routine business of minor con sequence, tbe House went into committee of the whole on the Springer free wool bill. Mr. Harter took the floor and advocated tbe passage of the hill. He made an argu ment in favor of direct taxation and de nounced the McKinley aot, more particu larly the wool schedule of that act. summing up its effect in tbe paraphrase as tbe nur sery rhyme. Ba! ha! black sheep, have you any wool? Yes. kind sir. I’ve three bags full; One for protection, two for the dame. But none for the farmer who cries In the lane. Mr. McCreary of Kentucky made a general attack upon the protective system all along the line. Other speakers, who advocated tbe wool bill aud attacked in general and in particular the protective system and McKin ley act, were Messrs. De Forest of Connecti cut aud Prctz of Indiana. Mr. Dolliverof lowa made an interesting speech against tbe bill, and in conclusion ridiouled and satirized the Democratic party, and quoted for its benefit the hymn of “Lead, Kindly Light.” Tbe committee then rose aud the House adjourned.

Moore’s Signature of a Century Ago Proves Valuable to Heirs. Philadelphia, March 27.—After nearly eighty years the estate of Col. James Moore of the continental army is to be settled. There was a balance of $1,327 23 left after Col. Moore’s estate was settled in the early part of the century. Col. Moore, however, disappeared and the money accumulated until it amounted to over $20,C00. The state and two sets of alleged heirs of Col. Moore began proceedings to secure tha money. One set of claimants oomsi from Chester county aud another from Maryland, where Col. Moore is supposed to have gone when be disappeared. The money was awarded to the former and the case was appealed to the supreme oourt. It appears that there were two Col. Moores. The Chester county heirs have shown, however, by tbeir Col. Moore’s sig nature in papers of the Sooiety of the Cin cinnati, that he it the same Col. Moore who wrote a letter from Wyoming May 3, 1784. As the Col. Moore who figured iu the trouble at Wyoming is the one who left the money, the other side has abandoned the case. eafo and Effective.

CrawforDoVille, Ind., March 27.—A most ridiculous elopement occurred at the village of Beckville yesterday. The hero is a Lothario of 75 summers. Arthur Dixon for the last few years has lived with bis grandson, William Dixon, and has been en tirely dependent on him for support. Yes terday, to the amazement of every one, the old gentleman eloped with the wife of Harmon Winters, the village blacksmith. The woman was about 30 years old, and of a rather flighty mind. Dixon had (15 on bis person, but no other means to battle with the world. The elopers are supposed to have gone to Chicago. Winters was in Craw fords vllle to-day hunting a divorce lawyer. Omaha and the Crow. FYom the Omaha Bee. There is probably no city In the United States where tbe common wild crow makes himself os much at home as in Omaha. Hers they are ns common almost as English sparrowt or tame pigeons, and evinoe about as little tear of roan. All through tbs winter months, especially wnen the ground is ouvered with snow, this beautiful and in telligent but very mischievous bird is a common sight on our streets and lanes, aDd often in the very door-yar-tsui the center of the city. They seem absolutely without fear ofinan or boy, and when busily engage! in thu enjoyment of a meal can be approached within a few yaJs before they will take w ing. This is all very strange to pe pie who have lived in tbe eartern states, where the crow is considered the shyest and most wary of all wildbirds. J ust now they are at tbeir thickest in and about Omaha, an! great flock- can bo seen every morning aud oveulng flying over the city. In the evenlug their line of flight is from the south and southwest to the north and northeast. In tba morning they trav erse ths same flight back again. For years aud years the birds have rooet eJ in the low foreet of willows east and north ot Cut < iff Island and when lbs sable boets are congregating thither In tbe shades of evening the spectacle i* a woud -rful one. Omaha's os iitebeou would certainly be In complete without the graven Image of the cumdug and industrious crow upon it.

A Lucky Chicago Youth Gets 300 Offers of Marriage a Day. from the Chicago Tribune. George W. North edge, who fell heir to an SBOO,OOO estate not long ago, has discov ered that there are drawbacks occasionally evei to such windfalls. Mr. Northedge re .Jet at Not 3529 State street. The story of his luck hadn't been made public two days before Northedge, who is a bachelor, was the recipient of hundreds of letters from maidens and widows, old and young, offering him their willing hearts and bands. Sixty per cent, of the writers made propo sitions of marriage outright, while others, less bold, were willing to strike up a cor respondence. The first day Mr. Northedge received twenty-five letters, the next the surprised postman dropped in with a bundle Contain ing nearly 200 letters, and since that time the unfortunate man has been the recipient of from 150 to 300 letters each day. They came so fast that he has not nad time to open them all, and a large number of offers of marriage have not yet been passed apon. Some of the fair writers hinted that they were coming to Chicago and would oall upon him and arrange matters at a per sonal interview. Some wanted to be his housekeepers, others asked for loans and named various sums he migut send by re turn mail, and still others declared that It was his own sweet self, and not his wealth, they were after. Northedge declared emphatically that he would have nothing to do with any of the women that had writteu to him, with one exception, a friend of former days who re sides in Wisconsin. She had written to him that she was coming to Chicago to see him and he would be glad to see ter, but as for the others, as Northedge expressed it, they "wasn’t in it.” He had received S2OO in advauce from his lawyer on the strength of his good fortune, and had bought anew suit of olotbes and patent leather shoes, in which be was prepared to greet the Wisconsin friend. Shelter at the Graveside. From the Philadelphia Record. Canopies for graves is the novel Idea of a local awning maker, which is likely to prove popular and calculated to fill the most approved style of long-felt want. It is a well-known iaot that much illness re sults from standing at graves in stormv weather, and this simple device will fore stall this serious inconvenience. The idea is simply to erect a tent above the grave large enough to accommodate the clergy man end mourners. The authorities of sev eral of the cemeteiies are considering the advisability of having the oanopies made. Their value in wet weather oan scarcely be estimated. MBDICAL Be Sure If you have made up your mind to buy Hood’s Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take any other. A Boston lady, whose example is worthy Imitation, tells hor experience below: “ In one store where I went to buy Hood’s Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy their own instead of Hood’s; hetoldmethelr’s would last longer; that I might take It on ten To Get days’ trial; that If I did not like It I need not pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail on me to change. I told him I had taken Hood’s Sarsaparilla, knew what It was, was satisfied with it, and did not want any other. When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I was feeling real miserable with dyspepsia, and so weak that at times I could hardly Hood’s stand. I looked like a person In consump tion. Hood’s Sarsaparilla did me so much good that I wonder at myself sometimes, and my friends frequently speak of it.’’ Mrs. Elia A. Gory, 61 Terrace Street, Boston. Sarsaparilla Sold by all druggists.
