labors of the late Bishop n. II. Kavau-
augh, OF the Methodist Church, South,
who died at Columbus, Miss, last Thurs,

massive bank of rare natural flowers OF
varied hues and colors, with the mourning
color (purple) predominating most
tasteiully arranged, being the handiwork
OF the ladies OF the church, who are al
ways foremost in every good word and

AT the time of the Reformation the pro-
testing reformers, who were denounced as
schismatics and heretcs, were loudin their
declaration of the right of private Judgment
and personal Interpretation of the Scrip
lures. They were, above all things. for
individual liberty, and all those ON thecon-
tinent especially, for Sabbath OF pleasure
and enjoyment. Since those stirring days,
memorable as the starting point OF mod
ern civilization, the disciples OF these re-
formers, who have also grown large with
ecclesiastical eoacsit, and do rot hesitate
to initiate, in very feeble way, the Pope
whom they still continue to denounee.
issue their bulls against all who do not
and cannot agree with them. What is
there in religion that thus enkindles pas
sicn where peace should always prevail,
that arouses prejudices where the love
Of Christ should reign supreme? Is the
religion, in whose nab.e these zealots con-
tend, so weak that It canHst overcome the
natural man in them? il was not so with
the Master. He was meek and lowly, and
rebuked Peter because he did not control
his temper.

Programme fer isae Opening OF tsse ES
Republican Faction Plight.

RFGXFaTEeRne Ter Ssee opening O4 tle
POsition-kSepuoskcan Faction Fight.
Special to the Appeal
BrRMMGHAN, March , The programme
has been settled for the opening OF the Ex-
position on April 22d. GOV. O'Neal is ex-
pected to deliver an address, and move
ment is on foot to have the Second Regi-
ment OF State troops here, TO be reviewed
by him. The two local companies-the
Rifles and artillery-have been growing in
membership lately and improving, and if
none of the other companies that belong
to the regiment should come, they viii be
able to make a very fair show alone-the
more so, that the artillery company will
have handsome uniform by that time.
The indications are that there will be
more building here this spring and sum-
mer than ever before. Probably the hand
soonest OF the new houses will be the new
City Bank building, though several build
ings for wholesale mercantile houses will
be more than respectable. In fact, the
building viii generally be OF much better
character than that heretofore done in Biz
mingham.
The Republicans have already begun 8
faction fight that will doubtless lose them
what chance they had in this co1nty.
With united vote and good work they
could make the county very close, but an
issue has leen made between the follow
ers and opposers of the Strobach-Turner
leadership at Montgomery, and it caused a
stubborn fight in the beat convention here
Thursday 60 select delegates TO the county
convention, resulting in an almost even
divide of the delegation. The control OF
| this beat is consideration, because it
generally carries the rest of the county
with !.
Application has been made % the City
Council for right OF way for another street
! railroad, to run from the business center
of Birmingham TO Elyton. about mile
aud a half distant. The right OF way viii
doubtless be granted, and the early brild-
| ing OF the road seems very probable,
| though the project has been heretofore
generally regarded rather as. a speculative
scheme than otherwise.

THE SUPREME COURT,
Decisions Rendered I'm n Fond and Pat
nm

WAsHTyGToN, March 24.-In the Su-
preme Court a decision was rendered in
the municipal bond case of the county of
Dixon, Neb.. plaintiff in error, against
Marshal Fiad. This is suit upon past
due coupons of certain bonds issued by
the Covington, Columbus and Black Hills
Railway Company. The court holds that
the county is not estopped by TIE recitals
in the bonds from denying theit validity,
and that having been issued in contsaven-
ton of the constitution. they are without
warrant of law and void. Judgment of
the Circuit Court reversed and the cause
remanded, with directions to enter judg-
ment in favor OF Dixon county.
A decision was also rendered by the
court in the patent case OF Lewis Me-
Murray Il al, appellants, as. Dwight NAL
lory q al, on appeal from the Cir
cult Court OF the District of Mary
land. This is suit brought in
court by appellants upon two reissued pat
ents upon improvements in soldering ma
chimes and soldering irons used in canning
factories The first of these reissues was
known originally as the Barker patent,
and the second as the Bostwiek patent.
The court holds. first, that the first three
clai us OF the reissned Barker patent are
void, because broader than the claim oil
the original patent, and the fourth and
fifth claims have not been infringed; sec
ond, that the reissued Bostwick patent is
not for the same invention set forth in the
original patent, and it, too, therefore, is
void. The decree OF the Circuit Court
dismissing the appellants bill is therefore

THE Methodist min listers who rush into

atory of President Hadden and denuncia-
tory OF the Rev. Mr., Long, to use phrase
of the street, have "given themselves
away" No one questioned their attitude
as to what seems to them the proper OBJ
servance of Sunday. What people do
question is that a Christian Sabbath or
any distinctiyelY religious Sabbath shall be
crammed down the throats OF people by
zealots and bigots whether they like it or
not. No man that VIC have heard OF has
questioned the right OF these preachers to
do on Sunday as they please, and to make
of it Christian Sabbath ii they so choose,
but as neither the constitution nor laws
of this State or of the republic OF which
it is member, recognize the Christian or
any other religion, they deny that there
is or can be any such thing as a Christian
Sabbath the observance OF which is OBJ.

this time through Mr.. Wilkinson, OF Syra-

friend of the Sage of Gramercy Park, who
recently paid visit to that gentleman al

he could not be made the Democratic

that there were younger and sturaier men
