A Model Confession.

Several years ago, in Western town, s
young lawyer, a member of a large
church, got drunk. The brethren said he
must confess. He demurred. He knew
the members to be a good people, but
that they had their little faults, such as
driving sharp bargains, screwing the la
borers down to low wages, loaning money
at illegal rates, misrepresenting articles
they had for sale, etc. But they were
good people, and pressed the lawyer to
come before the church meeting and own
up his sin of taking glass too much; for
they were temperance people, and alb
horred intemperance.
The sinner finally went TO the confess
sion, found 9 large gathering of brethern
and sisters, whose bowed heads rose and
whose eyes glistenad with pure delight
as the lawyer began his confession.

fession down went brothers head with

THAT FORFEIT MONEY.

The late fiasco in the Sexton -Schasfer billiard
| match continues to excite attention In sporting
circles
From one OF the hackers of Mr.. Sexton here we
gather the facts relative to the controversy over
the forfeit money. This statement is authenti-
Gated by Developments published In New York
sporting papers. and Is verified by private te1e-
grams and letters placed at our disposal The
Chicago papers have taken the ground that
Sexton took advantage of a technically, hence
the onus of a failure In the match and its at
tending consequences must rest on his Shout
ders.
The facts do not carry out this view. II was
distiIntetlg stated In the articles OF agreement
stakeholder ten. days prior to the FIRST game,
as cleaned, which, was fixed for July II. But one
porant Clause Either the money had to be
by u m. on the night of July 1 or the first de-
post was forfeited.
II was four or five days after publication APP
peared in the Spirit of The Times. written by Mr..
Buck the final stakeholder announcing that Mr.,
Sexton was entitled to the forfeit before that
gentleman saw 1t and claimed his money. II
Mr. Sexton had failed to claim forfeit he would
have rendered null and void the provisions of
the written agreement, 1t was his place to act
as he did in order to show. the public that the
proposed match was not hipodrOme game for
gate money, but bona fde match. Surprising
Mr.. Sexton had relinGuished his rights In order
to allow the game to proceed would not the pub
lie have thought the same? The proposition
made to Sexton to play upon conditions that he
should relinquish the forfeit, and II Schaefer
won the stake, the $1,000 to be returned him was
an acknowledgment that Schaefer's hackers
knew that they had violated the agreement.
Mr.. Sexton. however. proposed that new
game for $4,000 or 5000 should be arranged, he
being perfectly willing t., give the other side
chance for their money which proposition was
declined. Brunswick, Bake & Co.. notwith-
standing the telegram, Did you receive the

graph the money until July Q. Mr.. Parker was

Hat Filtration.
[Atchison Champion.l

For the past two years there has been a
pleasant rivalry among literary people to de-
wise a mode of expressing the thoughts by
certain signs and acts so as to be understood
and read by parties distant. To this end they
first devised the handkerchief Irritation, then
the fan, and now the glove, each in turn be-
coming the more popular as they were invent
ed. Among certain class, however, there was
was still vague, uncertain sort of deficiency;
kind of indescribable sort Of lacking that
failed to cover the ground. A few Of our
young men had no gloves, and others were
without fans, and still a greater number were
frequently unprepared to give creditable
handkerchief entertainment by reason OF the
great washerwoman monopoly, which is car
ried to such an extent in cities. To meet this
long felt want the Champion has designed
filtration with. the hat which will be duly
entered according to Congress as soon as
feasible entrance to Congress can be effected.
In. introducing a filtration with the hat, It
has been the experience of many OF our most
proficient fiirters that it is better to raise the
hat perpendicularly from the head few
inches that the object Of your filtration may
be satisfied of the absence Of bricks or other
eutaneous substances which are sometimes

question ia definitely settled.

Crystal Springs, Miss. The main object Of the
convention Is to secure rapid transit. regular

version commonly used. The performance
covered four entire evenings, and the most
elaborate preparations were made to make It
successful. The music was charming great
mechanical ingenuity was displayed in turn

drama, such as the appearance of the Earth

as of national interest Nevertheless, the
