THE DRUNKEN ADVENTURES OF Two
KEETUCKIANs IN CHURCH. As religious
services were progressing in the church
of the Rev. Galen Rigby, at Somerset.
KY, a couple of well connected young
ruffians entered the church, one riding
on a horse and the other swinging a
bowling dog by the hind legs. The
young man who was mounted whipped
his horse down the aisle till in front of
the minister, where he denounced him
and the congregation in violent and pro-
fame language. A scene of excitement
followed, and the profane intruders
were quickly driven from the church by
the members. The episode, however,
put an end to the services. The young
men were inspired to the exploit by
Kentucky whisky. No arrests.

The few inhabitants upon the Red
river, Texas, are much excited over
strange rumbling noise that is heard both
night and day. 1t resembles the sound
of a railroad train, but as there are no
railroads within fifty miles of the locali-
ty, the people believe it Is a passage OF
volcanic action. Its range is from north
to northwest, and it recalls the ominous
sounds described by Humboldt as prece-
ding the great earthquake of 1853 in
Mexico, when the volcanic mountain Of
Jorulia was upheaved.

COTTON MANUFACTURES AT THE SOUTH.
The Boston Post, commenting on the
progress of cotton manufacturing in the
United States as shown by the census re-
turns, says: "The increase has been
great in each of the four geographical
sections of the country, but, during the
last decade, that in the South has been
the most remarkable In 1870 the South
ern States consumed 1902, $3.50 pounds
of raw cotton, and in 1880 the consump-
ton was 1O1, 937, 256 pounds, or more
than double the consumption of 1870.
These figures show that the South has
discovered the true road TO increased
power and prosperity, and that she has
profited by her discovery. The figures
of 1890, we dare say, will show that the
South has again doubled the figures
which represent her consumption of cot
ton in the manufacture of cotton goods. !"

The woman suffragists, or at least that
portion of them marshaled and led by
Miss Susan B. Anthony, are out with a
brand-new demand First they wanted
a sixteenth amendment, giving women
the right to vote; subsequently they
found out, or thought they did, that one
of the later amendments gave them the
right to vote, and asked only declara-
tory act by Congress thus interpreting
it; and now they simply want special
committee in each house to take the
question of woman suffrage under serious
and prayerful consideration. Miss An
thony says they have such committee
in the House already, but that it will do
nothing, and she wants a new one.

Mother ShiptOn.
5nrresnondenee Nein York Hernl


An evening paper lately published an
interesting and well written article on
comets and the several theories as to the
creation and destruction of stars, but
the major part gave the history, so far
as known, of the famous Newton comet,
which, after an absence of thirty seven
years, is now astonishing and alarming
the antipodes, and in a short time will
be seen in our armament, rushing on its
course toward the sun at velocity of
two hundred miles a second. In his
long essay on this fiery, eccentric mon
ster Newton says it is within the RANGE
of possibilities that in striking the sun
terrible disorder and havoc may be
caused in our planetary system, and the
author of said article cites old Mother
Shipton-
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
Albeit household word in Great Bri-
tain, the name of Mother Shipton and
her prophecies are not familiar to Ameri-
cans generally, and so prone is human
nature to superstition and the marvellous
there are many who will continue to be-
lieve she was a seer and prophecies, even
luOuSn TIC 1dCt HdS OCCu OfCI WuCll1-
ingly proved that she was not the author
of any of the predictions accredited to
her which have been fulfilled.
In the British Museum can be seen
Mother Symptoms original book, pub
lished in 1871, but an earlier manuscript
of same bore date of 144S. They con
tain nothing important, mere old
woman's chatter, a tumble Of vague
forecasts of local interest, which, like
tons of such trash, would deservedly
have remained in oblivion but for the
enterprise of one Charles Hindley, of
Brighton, England, who IN 1852 published
what purported to be an exact reprint of
the book. Interspersed with the sense
less, as unfulilled predictions, he had in
serted ten or twelve lines. AS examples ::
Carriages without horses shall go,
And iron shall swim in the sea;
Through mountains men shall ride;
England shall at last admit Jew, etc
"a poor mystic effort to foretelI the
past history of engineering and politics
in England.
The superstitious and lovers of the
marvellous, ignorant of Hindley's fraud,
introduced to make his book sell, seized
upon these proofs of Mother Symptoms
gift of prophecy. The prediction of the
end of the world in 1881 he stole from
Piazza Smiths and Philo IsraePs inter
probation of the hieroglyphics in the
great gallery of the Pyramid
The imposture was soon detected and
exposed, and Hindley publicly confessed
to the fabricated interpo' atoms, which
did not lessen the sale of his book.

Reduced Passenger Fares.
tAtlanta CONSTITUTIONAL


IL should be q source Of qualification t.
the people OF the State that the railroad
managers cheerfully acquiesce In the action
OF the railroad commission in reducing the
fairs To- three cents mile. A prominent
railroad official recently stated in discussing
the subject that the only objection be bad
10 the order was the omission by the COM
missioDers TO make the rate three cents per
mile when tickets are purcha .ed-tbe hours
during which ticket.offices should be kept
open TO be laid down. Such regulation
would have brought about uniformity
In ticket.seliDg throughout the State.
The commission, however. leaves this mat.
ter to each road; and the same end
will be accomplished, although each road
will probably have different rules on the
subject. The people should assist the rail-
roads in this matter, and thus prevent liti-
CATION which might throw the question into
the courts and result in the suspension OF
the order OF reduction until the Supreme
Court OF the United States could decide the
questions involved. We believe the cheer
ful compliance OF the railroads should be
appreciated by an earnest cooperation OF our
citizens In the matter OF tickets. The
railroad companies desire 10 confiue the
sale OF tickets 10 their agents, who are
ticket-selIers, and thus give their con-
duclors-wb0 are not Icket.selers-more
time to attend to other and very much more
important duties. Besides, II is desired
that the business OF each station should be
transacted at such station, so that the i'm
portance Of each sta,ion can be determined
and the compensation Of the agent properly
adjusted. We therefore urge the citizens
throughout the State 10 uphold the roads In
their regulation; and let Us hope that by so
doing the advantages OF the reduction OF
fares will be SO great that the railroads may
10 the future find IL TO their interest to vol
make still further reduction.
