General Wheeler's speech, printed in the
CONGRESSIONAL Record last week amounts to
S94O. The cost of the plates for the text

A LOUISVILLE judge has distinguished
himself by declaring that he will not ex
clude intelligence from the jury boz and
deciding that the mere fact that man
has read newspaper accounts and received
certain impressions does not render him
incompetent unless he confesses himself
unable to give the evidence fair and i'm
partial hearing.

After considerable dickering the Methodist
conference, lately held in this city, ap.
pointed Rev. Peter J. Cox to the Central
church, Frankfort, but majority of the
members OF the congregation expressed a
preference for a much younger minister,
and openly declared their opposition to
Mr.. Cox on account of his age. He has
not gone to the church and. the presiding
elders have put their heads together to
determine what shall be done about it.
ATTENTION has been called to the fact
| that the new civil service law is silent as
| to any distinction between male and female
applicants for places in the executive
depaI tments. 1t is said that the rules to
be drawn up by the civil service commission
will, it is understood, contain some pro
vision bearing upon this question. the
commissioners being cognizant OF the
necessities of the public service, and tl.e
opposition on the part of heads of depart
msnts to any large increase i'll the number

| THE name ''catgut," as applied to thu
animal fibre strings used on musical in
struments, is altogether misnomer. Th'
cat is in no wise responsible for the string
and, much as the fact is to DO deplored
the manufacturers Of such strings refuse
to utilize cats for the supply of their ma
terial. Violin, guitar, and banjo strings,
and in fact all sorts that como under the
general head of "gut," are made from tn
entrails of lambs and cattle, from tho deli
cate threads used for sewing racket bal
covers up to the half inch thick rount
belts. After i lamb is seven months ole
its cntrails are no longer fit for makinI
strings for violins.

Armed with the Living Truth and the ex-
ample Of 5lameless lives, they went forth
oonqusring and to conquer the whole
world. No othsr system was spread like
this and mona Of mere man could be so pro-
mulgated to-day under the most favorable
conditions. Only by the divine life Of the
church can its victory over persecution,
its vitality despite Of schism and its world
wide advances b. explained. Thirdly, the
Christian experience, the intensive work.
ing of the Gospel proves its divine origin.
The illustrations Of Saul of Tarsus and
others from real life were cited in proof
of this experience and to demon-
strate that What Christianity needs is
not argument nor scientific analysis, but
the proof of life in which Christ is mani
festly set forth. These three facts, the
life Of Christ, the church and the Chris
tian experience are the foundation, super
structure and apex of pyramid which
stands an eternal witness Of the truth.
Mr.. Satchell spoke freely, without
