Dr. TnImnge,s RerivnL

Monotony at no time characterizes
the proceedings in the Brooklyn Tab
ernacle while Dr. Talmage is on the
platform. Not even when be is work
ing necessarily for the success of re-
yival, and is therefore constrained to
launch old sermons with new keeIs
on, does he suffer the interest to flag
for want of novelty. After he had
expounded Psalm cii., and turned to
Acts H., reading passages inviting sim
ners to the mercy seat, he gave out
yesterday, Come, Holy Spirit, Heav-
enly Dove" prompting the congrega-
tion with, Let us all join with the
spirit in this invocation" Then he
prayed that this might be a mighty
day in Zion, and thanked God
that such a multitude had changed
masters. The prayer ended, DR..
Talmage stepped to his table
and took up two sheets of
foolscap and, giving notice ofthe con-
tinuance of the Tabernacle revival
meetings, said that the work is deep
ening and widening and becoming
more intense all the time, and that
where the awakening will end he can
not conjecture. He read from the
foolscap the names Of fifty-two persons
who had joined the Tabernacle church
last week, making 207 since the be-
ginning of the revival. He added
that the elders reported to him that
more than double that number have
experienced a change of heart.
As Mr.. Talmage retired to his
chair. Mr.. Philip Philips touched his
melodeon, and he and his son sang
frcm what he terms Long Sermons
" I've heard of Savior's love" and
the pastor requested candidates for
BAPTISM, both by immersion and
sprinkling, to present themselves at
the end Of the platform, and the con-
gregation to sing There is fountain
filled with blood" The carpets were
torn from the plNtform and the large
basin IN which converts were to he
immersed was disclosed to view. DIR.
Talmage now sprinkled six young
women and three young men, repeat
ing after each ceremony the iniuno-
tiou, THE Lord make you faithful in
the solemn VOW you have taken" the
congregation alternating with one
verse of "Just as 1 am"
The pastor now descended into
the water, and four young
women were successfully led to
him, the congregation singing Just
as | am" Immediately after each i'm
mersion. mo one can doubt the
earnestness of those who have pre-.
sented themselves for the ordinance
OF baptism" DR.. Talmsge said, as
the congregation began to sing Rock |
of Ages" Then he prayed God to
ratify this act done on earth. "Prsise
God, from Whom all Blessings Flow"
was then sung by the congregation.
After pronouncing the benediciion
the pastor stepped forth from the
water and into his room, and, Prof ssor
Morgan resumed his place at the
organ, while the congregation dis
peTsed.

Where NhnII She SITE

The Springfield Republican says
that man comedies to woman the best
seat everywhere but in church. There
he appropriates the best seat-that
next the aisle. In finding a reason
for this the editor OF the Republican
thus moralizes,
But of course there are high and
mighty objections to a woman sitting
next to the aisle. In the first place
it is not her sphere. God created
woman for her sphere, An important
feature Of her sphere is backache, and
no true woman would be so false to
her high destiny as TO trifo with apy
institution, particularly any religious
institution, ordained to that end.
Her place is in the home, and what
would become Of her home if
she were to sit at the FIRST end
OF the pew, while paterfamilias took
his seat in the middle? Moreover.
woman cannot fight. Man evidently
sits at the end of the pew so that he
can readily grasp his musket and stand
in line in the aisle, ready to march to
their country's defense, This quos-
tion goes to the very root Of the whole
matter. She who cannot fight. Of
course should not vote, and she should
not expose herself to the enemy bv
sitting in front of the pew. But wo.
man sits next to the aisle in other
places Of resort. Tut. tut-thialeyel-

SESSION of various localities and hand
them over to the Greek troops, who
would arrive halfan hour later, and

TIE WHEAT CROP.
Heavy damage, but no Danger Of
"A General Failure.

CHICAGO, April 16.-The Times re-
ports from all parts Of western winter
wheat region show an immense amount
Of damage done the crop by the sever
ity OF the winter, but there is not the
slightest danger of general fail
ure of the harvest on that ac-
count. In considerable majority
ofthe districts the crop is backward or
in unfavorable condition, but reports
do not intimate that they are failures
any where and the fact that good
prices and handsome Earvests for two
or three years past encourage planting
largely, and increased acreage in most
localities seem to be a fair offset for
the injury suffered.
In great many sections the heavy
snow storms Of the winter furnished
invaluable protection against the in
tense cold and the late spring contin.
ued this defense through the critical
period of alternate freezing and thaw-
ing of March. On the whole the sit
uation is more encouraging than was
believed and less disastrous. Late
frosts or unfavorable conditions will
materially impair the prospect. The
yield, taking the country at large, is
likely not to be much less than last
year. Illinois and Indiana seem to
have suffered more than any other
states. The fruit crop is said to be a
total failure in many parts of Illinois,
Michigan, Ohio, and the southern
states. Trees in many cases are killed
outright. Bee.keepers have suffered
greatly also.

A Blind Fox that Could Get Away

ClarksVille Tobacco Leaf, 1s.l
For some time General W. A.
Quarles has been missing every now
and then healthy lambs from his flock.
He never could find dead lamb, and
was at loss to account for their dis
appearance. He ransacked his brain
in various ways to account for the
mystery. There was Ben Gill on one
side Of his plantation, and johnson
Goosetree on the other. with Colonel
Goodlett as his door neighbor, and the
lambs kept going. Last Monday
morning the general heard a terrible
uproar among his flock of sheep, and
rushing over to the meadow he saw a
large red fox trotting off with one of
his finest lambs. The fox made his
escape, and reward was offered for
his scalp. Mr.. Willie Warfeld took
his hounds, went into the field, and
Before night the scalp was on General
Quarles' table. The general is one Of
the most generous and kind hearted
men in the world, and when he learned
that the thief was a poor, blind fox he
absolutely wept. and refused to pay
the reward which he had offered for
his scalp.

THE ROAD LAW.

The new road law, undor which the
county court took some action this
week, may lead to good results in the
future. 1t is a starting point in the
right direction, but it is 50 cumbrous
and complex that it is likely to fall to
the ground of its own weight. One
mistake is made in not providing more
compensation for those who are to
supervise the work. Men often aspire
to honorary positions to which
no pay is attached, but the
Office of road overseer is not
one Of them. We seldom hear of can
didates making a scramble for this
place. Those likely to be chosen are
pretty sure to scramble the other way.
This is one Of the Offices not regarded
as stepping stone to any other Office
or distinction. The man who accepts
it generally stops right there; the
people rarely tell him to come up
higher and be justice Of the peace, a
constable or a member Of the legisla-
ture. An efficient road overseer is
necessarily unpopular with many of
those who have to work the hinges of
their backs under his direction. A
lenient ovOrseer may have a certain
kind of negative popularity, but there
are no good roads in his neighborhood.
Under this law there are three road
commissioners to each district, and
our county court made a road district
out of each civil district. These COM
missioners appoint overseers who
shall have charge of not less than
three nor more than ten miles Of road.
The assessors as well as commits
Sioners are to receive one dollar per
day for each days actual service in
performing the duties required by the
act. They are free from personal SER
vices on the highways, except in the
performances OF their official duties,
and shall bo free from jury duty if
they so elect. This is light pay for
such disagreeable work. A man who
is not worth more than dollar day
on his ewn farm, or in his shop or
store, is rot likely to mako much
of commissioner or overseer.
There are various other pro.
visions in the bill, some
of them good, others perhaps not wise
or practical. Magistrates are not
eligible to these distinguished posi-
tions, although they caa hold almost
any other office. The act contains
forty four sections. 1t has already
taken effect, and we hope will be Wig
orously enforced. When the defects
are discovered they can be remedied
by the next legislature.

60 Much for the 1908.

Franklin Review and Journal;l
For some days there have been in
our town force OF about one dozen
gentlemen with buggy plows for sale.
They got along swimmingly until the
1908 struck the country like a north.
wester. Last Saturday they bundled
up their trapsand departed for greener
fields and more inviting prospects,
They we're asked why they were leay-
ing. We did not think the 100 3
news could strike this county so early,
but everywhere we have gone they are
so detected and inturiated about the
passage of the 1908 bill that they say
they have no heart to talk about ploEs
and plowing. They say that if they
can keep their lands from confseation
and their children from starvation
they will stick to the old bull-tongue
plow little longer"

Triple Murder i'm Texas.

GALVESTON, April 16.-A News
San Antonia special details terrible
triple murder which took place about
seven miles from that city. John
Simmons, heavy stock owner, left
home on Sunday; yesterday a herder,
named j. s. Phillips, went out with
the sheep about noon. Mr.. Simmons
was found lying in the herder's room
with his throat cut, and, from appear
ances, lie had been outrageously as
saulted. The alarm was given and
soon the bodies of child and Mrs.
Simmons mother, Mrs. Parker, were
found at the foot of an embankment
about hundred yards from the house
with their skulls crushed in. The
herder seems to think that Sim
mons is the murderer, but he himself
was committed without bail.
