Plays with a high moral purpose are almost un known on the stages of the day. The Key. Charles M. Sheldon, who sometime ago essayed to demon strate that Christianity could be ap plied to journalism, dismisses the possibilities of a Christian theater in a recent issue of the Independent. He does not undertake to answer ex haustively his own question, “Is a Christian theater possible?” At the same time, he is unable to see any thing insuperable in the way of it. Umler existing conditions ministers of the gospel are unable to attend theatejs, or give their sanction to them, because there is so much that is harmful in them, taken as a whole. There are good and wholesome plays, to be sure, and actors and actresses who lead pure and upright lives; but they are a minority. More than one- half ef the plays that are produced, Mr Sheldon says, are the reverse of helpful to the Christian life. Still, the possibilities of the stage for good are very great. Most persons who attend the theater go there to be amused PLANT RICK. purchased the machinerv 1 be prepared to clean all the t may be brought to Climax son. N. C.

The Northeastern money, it will be remembered, was derived from prop erty acquired long after the adoption of ihe Constitution of 1877. Judge Candler holds Treasurer Park, being a ministerial officer, should have paid the warrants without question. He Bums up* the case briefly and con cludes with an order that mandamus issue requiring the treasurer to pay. He says in part: “Believing that when the warrants in question were presented to the treasurer that he hpd only a minis terial duty to perform, aud that the warrants issued by the Governor, and the adyice of the Attorney General to the treasurer t) the effect that he was authorized and directed by the act of 1897 to draw on any fund in the state treasurv to an amount nec essary to pay these warrants and all FLORIDA POINTS.

The only way to get it would be to establish such a theater under church patronage; to subsidize it, in fact, and there is little likeli hood that any denomination would underl.ake.8uoh an innovation.

As this provision of the constitution does not, by express word or plain implication, cove* after-acquired property, I do not think it wo.dd be proper to treat the $200,000 in the treasury arising from the sale of that property as coming within the limitation imposed therein, “Holding the above views, it is un necessary to consider the other ques tions raised bv the pleadings. It is by the treasurer admitted that he has ui his custody $77,294.83, subject to the warrants. It is, therefore, order ed that Hon. Robert E. Park, as treasurer of the state of Georgia, draw on said $7 f,294.82 and iiaid $200,000, the proceeds of the sale of the Northeastern Railroad to the amount of $260,306 18, and that he then issue checks thereon, covering the 143 warrants described in the pe tition and deliver such checks as di rected by law, and to that extent the mandamus is made absolute.” Capt. Park says he will not be sat isfied until the matter has been pass ed upon by the highest court in the state. He feels that the matter was not fully decided by Judge Candler, and lie wants the question of the oth er funds besides that from the North eastern Railroad passed upon. He thinks a decision can be had from the Supreme Court within two weeks’ time at most. There are many who express the opinion that Capt. Park ESTABLISHED 188B. STAR Shaving Saloon.
