Mr.. Long, pastor the Church of
the. of Strangers Memphis, preached
sermon of considerable power re-
Gently against the enforcement of
what are termed SUNDAY laws"
Last Sunday a number of the
Memphis preachers replied to him
with more or less force from their
stand points, as a rule taking ex-
treme sabbatarian ground. Mr..
Long of course will defend his posi-
tion, and Memphis may expect
that the cheated term" alone check
the controversy. Mr.. Long, it will
be remembered, withdrew or was
withdrawn from the Presbyterian
church some two years ago, for
want of orthodoxy. He is ranked
among the liberals" in his relIg
ion, and judging from his sermons
he cannot be classed with any
church or religious sect. Without
expressing any opinion, whatever,
as the merits of the present cOntro-
troversy, or Mr.. Longs christianity,
we have all along deemed it only a
question of time when he, as nearly
all other divines who essay modern
'liberalism" have done, will drift
into positive infidelity or hopeless
agnosticism. Once loose from the
anchor of positive and aggressive
faith; once adrift on the allurance
of speculation, when once the sails
of thought are filled with the pleas
ing soothings of universalism, and
there is rarely ever harbor of fix
ed belief found any more, but the
sea around is boundless and all the
shores that glimmer through the
horizon are but disappointing mi
RACES, phantoms of the longing
eyes and weary soul that disappear
on the approach into the fathom-
less of space. Such divines as Mr..
Long are very fascinating to poor,
weak mortals, but the good they do
is fleeting and their careers full of
peril to themselves and those they
lead. In the christian religion
there is no safety outside of "the
faith once delivered to the saints"
For the believing soul the harbor is
there, and beyond is the wide, wide
sea of tumultuous doubt.-Jack on
Tribune and Sun.

Too Mich Vim.

Riding on the cars one day last
week on one of the roads out OF
Chicago was a man, not yet in the
prime of lite, so far as years go, but
who was in his old age so far as
mental and physical condition is to
be considered. He was what might
be called total wreck IN person
and in appearance. A few years
ago this man was considered one
of the most promising young men
in the city. He was full of getup-

VIII G. Nicholas, the witty man
aging editor of the Washington Ma
tional Republican, shutters badly.
1t is said of him when he was the
city editor of the Indianapolis News,
one of the statehodse commission
ers explained to him what kind OF
superintendent they wanted. ''He
must be, said he, honest, indus
trious, good, pure-minded, frugal,
self sacrificing" 81 th-th- think, -
interrupted Nichols, ''y-y-you Wv
won't find him. He w-w-was c-c-c-

gy. But he lacked one thing need
ful-caution. In an evil hour he
became excited in speculation, and
for a while he made money hand
over fist. Everything he touched
seemed to turnIto money. He finally
sold out his legitimate business
and went into speculation exclu-
sively. He had the finest of every
thing. But one day stock began
to tum BILE. The man knew
what he was about, invested
more, and finally he, too, with his
stocks, took terrible tumble, and
when he looked about he found
himself bankrupt. He was too
proud to take q clerkship, but
| pawned his fine clothes, ETC., and
took to drink. The result of all OF
it is, that man to-day is deep down
in the mire of dependency, and the
friends he had in his prosperous
days, those who feasted at his ex-
pense, and those whom he had
helped in time of need, only point
their finger at him and sneeringly
call him ''the fool"
Vim and energy is good thing.
Ambition and desire to better ones
self is an excellent trait in any
mans s composition, but with those
traits a young man is very apt to
get badly ''rattled" if he lets his
ambition run away common sense,
or when he refuses to listen to rea-
reason. A young horse generally
stands better chance to win hur-
die race than an old one, but in his
eagerness to jump the hurdle it of
ten breaks its neck. Better be a
little old and fogyish than to let
reckless youth run at will unbri
died. Let well enough alone,
young man, and stick to legitimate
business, and you will under ordi
nary circumstances, come out the
winner. Young man, if you would
win a fortune, work and wait, but
work a good deal more than you
wait -Peck's Sun.

Avery farmer should possess a
stencilplate with his name and resi-

plainly mark all bags, blankets,

brand with which he can burn his
name into the handles of hoes,
shovels and other tools. Then if
he is blessed with a borrowing
neighboF the sight of the name may
remind the borrower to return the

a laughable incident occurred
the other evening on south side
car. A nice, modest-looking girl
took her seat near the front door of
the car next to well-dressed mid
dleaged; gentleman. She laid her
dainty lace handkerchief in her lap
to adjust her hat; just as the car
door was opened a gust of wind
sent the delicate lace 'kerchief into
the lap of her neighbor. She hesi-
tated about reaching for it, when
the gentleman, glancing downward,
beheld something white, and being
q little near-sighted, at once came
to the conclusion that he had met
with disaster and lost button and
his shirt needed attention. He swift
ly tapped his oyercOat across his
lap with his left hand and with his
right tucked the offending linen out
of sight in a iiffy. Ifany south side
wife has this week found any dainty
lace handkerchief about her hus-
bands clothes she need not be jeal-

Women In Russian Prisons.


I must nail to the pillory of European
opinion a characteristic example Of the
position of women in Siberia. It hap
pened to Olga Lioubatovitch, one Of the
herOines of the trial of the fifty" at
Moscow, where the socialist propaganda
lists gained to so remarkable an extent
the sympathy of the public. On the 30th
of August, 1888, on passing through
Krasnoirsk on the way to her destina-
ton in Eastern Siberia, she was called
before the 'ispraVnik' (chief of the po-
lice of an arrOndissement), who told her
she must exchange her own clothes for
convict dress. Butas she was condemned
to transportation by an administrative
order, and not to hard labor, she had a
right to wear her own clothes. This she
tried to explain to the "ispravnik." At
her first words he became furious, and
repeated that she must not only change
her dress, but do it there and then in
the bureau before every body.
To this unheard of intimatiOn Olga
LiOubatOVitch answered by a categorical
refusal. Then, at sign from the police
officer, his subOrdinates seized hold Of
the prisoner in order to undress her by
force. A barbaTOus struggle ensued.
This crowd of men began to beat this
woman, to pull her hair and tear off her
clothes. So long as she kept her feetshe
defended herself as best she could, but
the chief Of police by a violent kick
felled her to the earth. This is how she
herself describes the infamy: 81 fell
into a kind Of stupOr. remember con-
fusedly how the heavy boot of the isprav-
mix struck my chest. Some one was
pulling my hair, another was striking
my face with his fist; the rest were tear
ing off my clothes, and at last, naked,
crucifed on the floor, in the presence of
a crowd Of men, felt all the shame and
at their own deed, the towards fed, and
when I recovered consciousness I saw
around me only my companions, pale as
death, while Fanny BIoriness was with

Noteworthy Incidents Among the Farmers
Ofthe state.
As high as 50 bushels per acre is re-
ported as a wheat yield in Ellis county.
Corn stalks Is feet5 inches high are
talked Of at Winfield.
Stalks of corn Il feet , inches high are
reported in Marshall county.
Clay county has 100 acres more in corn
this year than last and has a better pros
pect.
The average wheat crop in Norton
county will be thirty bushels to the
acre.
Only a half crop of corn is reported in
CoWley county. Lack Of rain is attrib-
uted as the cause.
The corn crop of Sumner county will
be 100000 bushels, according to the
Wellington Press.
The average wheat yield in Mitchell
county is estimated at A bushels to the
acre. The rye is said to average about
43 bushels.
Parsons Sun: Millet Will make a bic
crop this year, and it is fully as large on
upland as on bottom. The field crops of
this county, of all kinds, could not have
been better, and farmers Will have no
trouble carrying stock through the Win
ter season on very choice variety of
feed.
Peabody Gazette: One of the most en-
thusiasuC sights to a stranger is the large
clover pasture Of @. Z. WestbrOOk, on his
farm west Of town. Immense fields of
staple crops can be seen anywhere in
Kansas, but to the far-seeing man 800
acres of clover is a stronger evidence of
the capabilities of Kansas soil than fields
of corn and wheat. And from that place
may be obtained a splendid view in all
directions, including the city. Mr.. West
brook also has $50 acres of wild grass en-
closed.
The mathematician of the Topeka
Capital says that by putting 500 bushels
in a car, it would require 400,O cars to
carry the corn that will be grown in
Kansas this year. Allowing twenty cars
to a train, 10000 trains would be neces-
sary, and giving to every train the space
Of One-fOuTth Of a mile, the procession
would be 5000 miles long. If the cars
were twenty-five feet long and put in q
solid train, the string would reach two
thirds the distance from Boston to San
Francisco. Some corn, that.
Enterprise MonopoIist: Mr.. n.
ThurstOn, of Hope, is one of themOst ex-
tensive and successful growers of forest
trees in the State. He has in all about
twenty acres in beautiful and thrifty
groves, from seven to nine years old,
composed of ash, walnut, box elder and
a few cottOnwoods and several acres OF
! catalpa, ailanthus and evergreens. The
result Of his experience is in favor of the
ash, as it has OutgrOWn the box elder and
/ proved free from injury by insects and
I bOrers. The catalpa is a thrifty grower,
some shoots from the roots Of yearling
trees killed by rabbits gnaWing them,
| showing a straight upward growth Of ten
| feet this season. Mr.. ThurstOn has more
wood than he can use from trimmings
and trimmings of a small part of bis
/ groves, and as one half or more must
now be cut out he viii have much tim
Der to dispose of. Go thou and do ike
/ wise.
