Sending a Telegram.

One man reached a long arm over the
little crowd clustered at the operators
window and asked for a "blank tele-
graphic FORM" explaining that he
wished to send telegraphic dispatch
to his family" Now, when a man
speaks of a Geographic dispatch l
always wake up and look at him, be-
cause the cumbersome title is all at
utter variance with the spirit of the tele-
graph. It's too long The use of it
betrays the man who has little use for
the telegraph. The more he uses the
wire the shorter his terms. The more
nearly he can come to saying .'msg'
the more content he is. And he doesn't
call it a telegraphic FORM" he asks
for "blank," black or rcd as the case
may be. And he never "telegraphs'
anybody. He "wires'' them And he
doesn't explain to the operator what he
wants to do with the blank. Presuma-
bly, he wants to write a message. And
as for the matters referred to in that
"msg' and the party for whom it is in
tended, the operator will know all that
he wishes to know-and sometimes
much more than you want him to know
soon enough.

" Geographic dispatch" First he asked
the operator: what day of the month

that All men ask that. 1t is the opening
line in the regular formula of sending a
''msg." You may know what date it
is before entering the Office, you may
even have it impressed upon your mind
by having note fall due on that day,
but the moment you poise your pencil
over the blank that date flies from your
mind like the toothache from dentist S

courteously answered him, as a cover to
approaching his position, but he did not
believe me. He repeated his question
and made the operator answer. Then

spoiled three blanks before he got a

him. But even that was not very I'M
common. A man always uses station

The Lime.Klln Club.


Some three months ago. owing to vari-
Gus and repeated attempts to destroy
Paradise Hall by fiends in human shape,
Samuel Shin asked leave in open meet.
ing to protect the hall by an invention
of his own. Leave was granted, and
the result was seen as the janilor opened
the place Saturday afternoon to make
ready for the usual weekly meeting at
night. Mr.. Sims invention consisted
of a pound of powder innocently stored
away in an old nail key, and the keg
placed where a stranger would use it to
look through the transom. A pressure
of two pounds on the head of the key
would scratch a match and explode the
powder. Some men would have grown
weary of waiting, but Samuel knew that
If he tished long enough he was certain
to catch whale.
Sometime during Thursday night
person whose name will never be known
unlocked the street door with the crank
OF coffee mill and slid upstairs with
murder in his thoughts. Perhaps he
expected to find Elder Toots asleep up
there, and was prepared to dispatch
him without mercy, or he may have
simply intended to damage the hall
about S1S, 900 worth and then go away
TO secretly chuckle over his dastardly
work. Be that as it may he reached
the ante-room and paused for a moment
to cast glance of contempt at the
stuffed oppossum over the door leading
into the lodge. There stood the inno-
cent nail key, and the transom was
open.
The human hyena probably cacllled
with delight as he saw the way pre-
pared for him, but it was his last cackle
on earth. AS he mounted the key
there was a dull explosion. which was
heard by many people on the street and
supposed to have been caused by the
blowing up of tug down toward Lake
Erie.
When the hall opened Saturday even
ing Mr.. Shin had all the remains spread
out on top of Waydown Bebee's plug
hat. There was a button, seven hairs,
the heel of sock, a fnger-nail, and a
part of document beginning with:
"To the Hon. the Common Coun--."
A hole in the roof through which
twenty-seven stars looked placidly down
on the Bear Trap indicated the Interior
direction taken by the balance of the
remains. The force of the explosion
knocked the safe over and broke one
hinge, and the pictures on the walls
were more or less damaged, but Cadav-
er Smith came forward and offered to
make good the damage out of his own
pocket.
"Let dis be warnin' to de wicked to
pause" said Brother Gardner, as the
meeting opened. "Let it be furder
warnin' to de good not to become
wicked! Wickedness doan' pay. If

THE census returns are fruitful of telling
facts and figures that are profitable as
prompting the pride OF rival communities
to greater efforts and instructive as indexing
the progress OF the States. 1t also affords
reliable data in the department of vital sta
tistics, enabling us to apply preventives in
sanitation to stay the march of disease, and
extend the limit of human life and conserve
its vital forces the most valuable OF all
the agencies, and the most potent of all the
energies known to u.s. From recent returns
We learn that the number of deaths in the
Union ID one year is given 492, ,263, of
which 69,S96 were from consumption. Of
this number women formed little more than
half. The annals ef crime recount during
the same time 1907 murders, but only 81
hangings. Also 1000 suicides, which list of
unfortunates contained 2S5 women. 1t is
estimated that of every 100000 born alive,
the following results will be found 69,-
S64 reach the age of 10, 65,0S3 reach the
age of 20, 1906 reach the sge of so,
95i4 reach the age of so; while IS fill up a
full century OF years. The prolongation of
human life is still farther placed under the
estimate as follows: AT the age of 20 the
average duration is addition of SO years;
at 40 the addition is reduced TO 20 years; at
90 it Is only 10 years; while at 80 the chance
Is limited ID u duration of only years.
There were at the time referred to in the en-
tire Union 322 persons of 100 years. of which
number 81 were women.

THE REV. SAM PARK,
The Colored Preacher, to be Restored TO
His Place in the Memphis Pres.
byfery.

Special to the Appeal
ATLANTA, GA, May 26.-The case of the
Rev. Samuel Park, on appeal from the Mem
phis Presbytery, was decided in his favor to-
day, the vote being two to one. The ques-
ton at issue was as follows: The Southern
Presbyterian Church, from the time when il
became separate organization, has taken a
deep interest in the welfare of the colored
people. Taught by experience, they have at
different times modified their methods OF
procedure. The constitution of the church
requires high degree of education in her
ministry, including Latin, Greek and Hebrew,
except in extraordinary cases. Out
of desire to help the colored people, the
presbytery of Memphis ordained the Rev.
Samuel Park, an uneducated but excellent
colored man, former slave, to preach TO the
people of his race. The presbytery claims
that under authority of the assembly
they could ordain him TO preach to
the colored people without giving him
right to vote in the white presbytery, which
had ordained him. He was treated as
presbyter for seven years, when in a ques-
ton of greak Importance the issue was made
as to Mr.. Parks right to vote. The modera-
tor decided that he had that right, and the
presbytery, by majority vote, overruled the
decision of the moderator. The minority of
the presbytery complained to the synod Of
Memphis, which reversed the decision of the
presbytery. The presbytery then complained
to the General Assembly against the decision
of the synod. This brought up the constitu-
tional question, can the Presbyterian Church
ordain minister without giving him the
right to vote in presbytery? 1t is consti-
tutional question, and this was test case,
the decision of which determines the future
course of the church in respect to this mat
ter. The Rev. Mr.. Rose, pastor of Second
church, Memphis, represented the presbytery,
and the Rev. DIR. Craig, of Holly Springs,
Miss, was appointed to defend::the synod.
The case was tried by the assembly sitting
as general court, and the vote is regarded
as very decided expression of the court.

HON. JESSE f. BROWN
Receives a Silver Medal and Diploma
for the Finest Cotton Exhibited at
the Paris Exposition.

Mr.. Bronson Bayliss informed the APPEAL
yesterday that he carried over to Paris, in
1878, half dozen samples of cotton of the
Magnolia species, and placed them before the
Committee on Products of the Worlds Fair,
held in that city. The samples were all from
the fields of Mr.. Jesse F. Brown, former
member of our State Legislature, whose farm
is in the suburbs of Memphis. Mr.. Bay
liss says that he expected no award
of medals nor diplomas, but wanted
to attract the attention OF the committee to
the character of cotton produced in our State.
Mr.. Ashbell Smith, chairman of that COM
mittee, after examining the samples, assured
him that he thought he could do more than
that, and succeeded 10 the extent that Mr..
Brown, few days ago, received the medal,
accompanied by diploma, for the best exhi bit
of samples OF cotton. Mr.. Bayliss states that
the medal and diploma were first awarded TO
him as the exhibitor, but he caused the medal
to be changed to Mr.. Brown, the producer,
who was Justly entitled to it.
The medal and diploma were accompanied
by the following letter, which explains itself:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WAsHINGToN, May s. 1882.
Jesse F. Brown, Esq, Care of Messrs. Porter, Tay-
lor & Co., No. 800 Frent street, Memphis, Tenn.
SIR have caused to be forwarded to
you this day by Adams Express Company
the silver medal and accompanying diploma
awarded to you at the Paris Universal Ex-
position, 1878, for your exhibit IN class 40
Of the agricultural exhibit of the United
States. Please sign and return the inclosed
form of receipt. 1 am, your obedient SER
want, ALVEY A. ADEE,
Acting Chief Clerk
Mr.. Brown makes the following statement
in reference to the cotton:
This silver medal and diploma were award
ed to me on samples of extra staple fine
cotton, which / produced in the suburbs OF
Memphis in 1877, and sent by Mr.. B. Bay
liss. our commissioner to the Paris Univer-
sal Exposition of 1873. Ny object was to
show that the vicinity of Memphis was cspa-
BILE of producing as fine, if not the finest cot
ton in the world. There was no premium
offered by the exposition, nor did l expect
anything more than perhaps compliment
airy notice of the cotton and the locality Of
Its production in the published proceedings
of the exposition. JESSE p. BROWN.

THE interview with Judge CIapp, which
we give on the fourth page of this issue of
the APPEAL, Will arrest the attention of our
readers as an able, lucid and sound exposi-
tion of the Infamous fifty cent act in connec-
tion with the "Flippin compromise act" and
the law creating the Taxing District. He
shows clearly that the acceptance and in
dorsement Of the if cent act by the Council
will assure to the bondholders all the rights
they had under the "Fnppin compromise
act" one of which was the annual lery Of a tJz
to create an ample irltefest and sinking fund.
This is all that Baxter would want to force
his mandamuses, and away would go the
possibility OF completing the sanitary work
aud paving the streets The future of Mem
phis would in that case be gloomier than
ever in her history, and, dishearteued and
hopeless, her people would sink under the
burdens the Taxing District government was
formed TO avoid. Judge Clapp has done the
city and the State much service, but never a
greater than he has in this cogent, though
brief review of the fifty cent act.
