(HE ATHENS 3ANSK2 TUESSA1 MORNING , OCTOBER i, 1« ABSOLUTES PURE Religious Department. A RECKLESS STATEMENT. We never did believe the statement cir culated broadcast a while ago, that the saloon-keepers of Chicago were anxious for the closing of the Fair on the 8abb> tb. It did not appear reasonable on its fact* The report was industriously circulated and^was believed by some really good peo ple, that if the Fair was closed the crowds would spend their time in the saloons ol the ciiy. It always sounded to us like a lie gotten up to divide the moral sentiment- of th^ country on the subject of closing. Now here is something from the Interior which shows we had not misjudged: Puck ;is a “funny" paper. For the sake of effect it speaks in hyperbole, exaggera tion and caricature. When the last week it issued a flaming cartoon representing the church aud the salotn joined hands to close the Fair on Sunday, few people took Puck seriously. But the Christian Register is not a funny paper. It is pre sumably religious. So when It uses a very bad untruth ns an argument for opening the World’s Fair on Sunday the oflena is more serious. It is strage that a fl p pant newspaper expression to »he church and saloon were leagued iu this matter should have been credited by respectable people. Especially do we wonder at this since correspondents of af least two well Known papers, one religious |the other po litical, have dispioved the charge by a census of the saloon-keepers. The Interior is able to verify this state ment : ‘Tue saloon-keepers of Chicago are not iu favor of closing the Worlds Fair on Sunday.” An Interior reporter made a diligent canvass of the saloons in a down-town district where every other door opens to a drinking bar, and where, sot infrequently, there is a saloon in tbe basement, a saloon above, a gambling den above that, and a brothel above that. Not one resort was omitted in tbe canvass In a personal interview with each proprie tor, or bar-keeper, not one in three fa vor closing the Fair on Sunday. The great majority was overwhelmingly in fa vor of a wide open Fair, and a wide open bar, and a wide open hereafter. Among this number were tbe shrewd leaders ol this iniquitous host. The McGarigles, tbe Varuells-Men whose deft hauds at cards have been no less deft in controlling mu nicipal politics. Tbe list also includs The House of David, The Jonab, Tbe Vesti bule, “134 Clark," and others of those wily lisps of Satan which many a pared and many a wife knows to well as the gilded s alking pits where son or husband has been ruined. Tue few who were “with the church” iu this matter were the small fry, or the hotel bar-keepers. From interviews with the forrnei, it was evideut that their opin ions had been formed by a newspaper statement that a dosed Sunday would.ben eflt tbe Saloon. It took the Interior man about ten seconds to convince them that an open 8unday would attact a host of excursionists, and would therefore bene- fll the saloons. The hotel bars are the on ]y ones which might be advantaged. It people are excluded from the Fair on Sun. day, very fev; of them will be in the city on that day. They will go to the lake ris.irts near by. The few who remain will f course remain at their hotels, and give these the patronage at the bar aud in din ingroom which would otherwise be given at the Fair. Uavn’t we heaid pretty nearly enough about the “holy alliance” of saloon and chuichf—Exchange. FICTITIOUS LIFE. Hany a life has been made sad and^even been blighted because it did not And the rosy colors which it had been led to ex peel. Much of the fiction that has been written with good iDtent, and many of the true incidents that have been narrated have been so highly colored or so partial ly portrayed as to give the young, especi ally, a one-sided view of the real life that is before them. They are made to believe that virtue in its various forms, is a sort of charm that is to touch all that is is be fore them and’ convert every element to an obedientseivantto bring crowns and royal robes with which to honor them The rosy hues-are everywhere apparent in the life picture to which they are look ing. Tbe writers and speakers have all the elements of the fictitious life in hand, and they combine them so beautifully and make them work together so perfectly as that the reader is made to believe that there is a charmed fate that overrules and masters the life and will surely work bis happiness. Religion, too, is often so represented as to be robbt d of its chief strength and made a means of disappointment. It is made hallowed influence, a joy in tbe aool, pouring a spontaneous stream of happiness through, the years of life. The conditions, duties, toils and trials are all left out, and hence many get a fictitious idea of the Christian life. We do not say that this is general or very frequent, but we do say that many are misled and become disappointed and depressed. “We know that all things work together for good to them that love God," but we know at the same time that God has, and ought to have, His own way of making these “all things” to work for us, and His ideas of good do not always or even generally harmonize with our. Many a poor soul goes confidently to God in prayer expecting tbe charmed life to work Us blessed results iu some pre-conceived way, when God has some better and high er way in the natural order, of duties and trial* 1 . This was not in tbe plai.s of the poor pleader, and, hence t> o often he is m ide to doubt his God or bis religion. There is no donbt that right living will biing its rewards, b< re and bt reafter, bnt the'rose colored life o'| ur f»rcy is often a delusion. Tue ideal 1 fe, where every one is kind and helpful to every one else, is good to bold in view and work to; but a sa l dif appointment awaits all who ex pc eta such fortunes and joy now- The Out in the highways, wherever we g r , Seed we must gather, and seed we mus sow; Even the tiniest seed has a power, Be it a thistle, or be it a flower. One of each moment some good we obta'n, Something to winnow and scatter again; All that we listen to, all that we read, All that we think of, is gatherin' seed Gathering seed, we must scatter a; well, God will watch over the place where it fell. Only the gain of the harvest is ours; Shall we plant thistles or shall we plant flowers? —Josephine Pollard. HOW HE BEGAN. Young men who are making their own glad day will come sometime no doubt way m preparing for.any chosen profes- but the world is not r. a ly for it yet.

Friday night they had meeting and Col. Edmund Thrasher, the strongest Democrat and one that is not afraid to speak bis opinion, went to the meeting. Old man Walker, who was in Oconee for the purpose of at tending the revival, made a speech. In his remarks he made some allusions to tbe lawyers. Col. Thrasher got a pari of the time and went for old man Walk er with glov63 off. He got in one of Sullivan’s right hand licks in answer ing old man Walker about what he said about tbe lawyers. He told the old man that he (Walker) was a preacher, and instead of preaching tbe Gospel w> s bolding secret meetings with the Third party, and abusing the Democrats. Col, Thrasher is hard to handle in argument and is doing a great deal of good for Democracy in Oconee. It is an old-fashion notion that medicine has to taste bad to do any good.

Our little folks will no doubt be pleased to know ‘ How to be amused.” 1, Learn to amuse yourselves. You need to be amused. The body and tbe mind get weary with work and study. You wish to play. But tbe weather will not allow outdoor sports. Dou’t fret and fume over it. Sit down quietly to plaD out nice little ways of amusement indoors. 1 bis of ils- self will be a pleasant pastime. Be con tent with simple things. A giil ran make a doll, cut an apron, or plan a fancy cov ering for some corner shelf. A boy can make tbe shelf or “bracket,” from a piece of thin wood with a handsaw, or he can build a miniature house, which his sister can fill with tiny furniture of home manu facture.

Chicago, Oct. 1.—A disastrous fire broke out in the Nickel Plate freight yards at Eightieth street and Stony Isl and avenue and forty carloads of mer chandise were consumed. The loss is estimated to exceed $100,000. The fire had gained considerable head way when it was discovered by the train man, and he was compelled to run along distance to send in on alarm. When the first engine reached the scene the entire freight yard was in im minent danger of being swept by the fire. Other apparatus was sent for and the horning cars were isolated. Before much conld be done, owing to a scarcity of water .two score of cars were in volved. The fire is attributed to sparks from passing engines. Burning on Flke’a Peak. Denver, Oct 1.—The famous signal station building on the summit of Pike’s Peak has been burned.

Washington, Oct. 1.— 1 The committee appointed by the Postmaster Genaral to examine into the subject of a .more rapid dispatch of mail matter betfeveen large cities and postoffice stations in large cities by pneumatic tubes or other devices, has submitted its preliminary report. The committee states that one proposition has been made which is more favorablo to the department than any other, in that it alone offers in defi nite terms, without obligation to the government’s part, to give a specific service of a practical character within the near ffiture. The offer is that of th© Pneumatic Transit Company, of New Jersey, to put down in the streets of Philadelphia, between the postoffice and the East Chestnut street branch; pneu matic tubes without expense to the de partment and without chaige for a year’s use of them. This offer, the re port says, is the best that has been re ceived, as it will enable it to make an immediate and practical test of the pneumatic system. The committee, therefore, recommends a prompt accep tance of this offer that the test may be made without delay. A FALL TO DEATH- Sec. III.
