We are inclined to believe that what
is mistaken Tor originality in the Rev.
sam Jones = nothing more than au-
dacitv. simple and pure. Ia fact, we
think the Georgia evangelist acts very
largely on the advice oil Danton, an
dacity. audaeity always, more audacity.
Ii Sam has said anything in his
Nashville sermons that could be called
an idea in the sense that it promulga-
ted an original thought, we have not
been 50 fortunate as TO observe it.
There is no denying that many OF his

A comedian in the role OF a clergy
man is something decidedly uncom-
mon, and it Is a pleasing novelty to
hear blue law puritanism preached in
the style of humorous lecture and
plentifully spiced with atter-day
slang.
One great secret OF Sans popularity
Is that he attacks the amusements and
small vices of those who pretend to a
straight-laced life and in that way, to a
great extent, arrays himself ON the
side OF the sinners. This, too, is
cause oil the many conversions he
makes. The sinners are not invited
to renounce their mode of life and
a'lopt that OF those who have sought
to reform them by holding up their
own lives as IA model. But new apos-
tel, representing no class, holds out to
them "A higher and purer religion than
that practiced by those who have for
merly denounced them.
This is a method that has been prac-
ticed by greater masters than Sam.
Methodism achieved its great success
by attacking the vices of the English
clergy and the luke-warmness of the
established church. Prince Siddhartha,

There is undoubtedly too much of

a young man, but we will hazard the
prophesy that in ten years from this
date he will have sunk into the obscu-
rity from whence he has so recently
emerged. What does any rational
person suppose Sam Jones would ac-

pose that his visits to Nashville should
be made quarterly. would ne come
more than three times before his au-
diences wonld be made up of empty
benches, and the newspapers would
cease to advertise his sayings.
But whatever may be said in the
way of criticism, it must be acknowl-
edged that at present the Rev. Samuel |
is power in the land, and we hope he
may accomplish much good.

THE attitude of the two political par

with their names. 1t is certainly a
misnomer to speak of Lord Randolph
Churchill as a conservative in distin-

FEET IN DIFFERENT STATES.
Pedal Anatomy East, South and West as
Viewed by ShOemakers.

Philadelphia Times.
tsThere is decided difference in the shape of
peoples feet in different sections of the country"
said member of one of the largest shoe manu-
firms in the city yesterday. I'm the
Eastern States the feet are narrower and some
what longer than in the West, while in the South
they are not only narrower. but they possess
this the case that we are obliged to keep
three sets of lasts for these three sections That
comes to be a large item, can assure you,
when it is remembered the number of sizes there
are in each set. For example, in one size alone
we have the initial number-say sevens; then
there are narrow sevens, bread sevens, seven
and quarters marrow and broad), seven and
half marrow and broad), seven and three
quarters marrow and broad)-that is. twelve
pairs of lasts to one size, and to each of these
sizes we must have three different styles for the
sections of the country to which we are going to
send our goods--rhat u.s. thirty six pairs of lasts
to one size pair of boots: Sounds rather ex-
travagant doesn't it2 Of course. this is only the
case with firms who deal with all these sections.
''Some firms only send their goods to one part
OF the country Now, you would be surprised to
be told that in different sections of the country
different shapes of the toes of boots required.
Out in the West nothing will suit but the square
toed shoe. whereas in the Eastern States
square toe would be in stock century and then
never sell. Different parts of the country re-
qure different kinds of leather, also. In the
North and West a tougher, harder leather can
be worn than in the South, where not only soft
upper is necessary, but, owing to the sandy,
this kind of wear it is not unusual TO use inn
ported leather-that is, for the 'uppers-but for
soles We employ domestic productions almost eX-
clusiyely.n

EIGHT TO NOTHING
The Score by Which the indianapolis Club
Won Yesterdays Game.

Fully three thousand people gathered at
Bruce's PARK, yesterday, to witness the second
championship game of base ball between the In
dianapols and Milwaukee clubs. The local team
won victory through the effective pitching of
McKeon, with whom the visitors could do moth
ing, and the splendid work of the fielders The
catching of keenan, was one of the attractive
features of the game, putting out ten men, The
work of Arundel behind the bat was poor at
critical times, and his passed balls helped ma
terially to win the game for the home club. Cor
man pitched a steady game but the Indianapolis
club solved his delivery in the fourth and eighth
innings and batted him very freely. Moriarity
and Crane made two-base hits at timely mo-
ments, when several men were on bases The
game was an exhibition of splendid fielding on
both SIDES and was interesting throughout The
same clubs play on Tuesday. The score is as
follows:

HOW HE DID TT.
An Easy Way to Defraud the Government
of $4,000.

Augusta (Me.) Journal.
F. B. Dunton postmaster at Center Lincoln
the government. Dunton gave bonds in the
sum Of s., 900 for his appearance at the April
term of the United States District Court. His
operations began in 1862 and have extended over
period of sixteen years. constantly increasing
in imaginable. His plan was to make fraudulent
returns to the department, reporting the num-
Der of stamps cancelled as larger than the
true cancellation. He began in a
small way, gradually increasing the number
returned, until the postal. authorities became
suspicious and placed the case in the hands of
Postofice Inspector E. Curtis Stevens, of Hal
lowell, who, in his usual energetic manner,
brought the delinquent postmaster to grief.
For forty days the mails at East Belmont and
Camden, the only outlet for the Center Lincoln
vile postoffice were watched and it was ascer-
tanned that the actual cancellation of stamps
by Dunton during that time was $40 62, while
the amount returned by him to the department.
was $l4. During the year 1884 he
returned 81, 246 as the amount Of stamps can
celed, giving him salary of $500 and placing
the Office almost within the limit of presiden-
tial appointment On the basis of the forty
days examination he would have received but a
salary of 800. When arrested he gave way to
his feelings and became much broken down. The
sum of So in stamps was found in the Office.
March 81 at the close of the quarter, he reported
that he had $135. 83 worth on hand When
being asked what had become of all his
stamps, he equivocated, and finally acknowl-
edged that he used them to pay bill which he
owed. 1t is estimated that his total receipts
from these fraudulent operations during the six
teen years will reach S. 900.
Dunton is man well connected and, hereto
fore, of good business standing. He is a trader
at Center Lincolnville and is also the proprietor
of the Elm House in that place. He served in
the navy during the Rebellion. He is about
fifty years DID, and has wife and two children.

Abuse of Lawyers Powers.
Providence journal.

The Boston Advertiser, commenting upon the
dismissal of constable for gross abuse of au-
thority, says that the true remedy for wrongs
and follies of this quality is such swift and
severe condemnation by the members of the bar
as will make the most indiscreet of their
numbers cautious Of offending" Unfortun-
atey while the majority of the bar are incap-
able of such an outrage as in the instance
alluded to-the attachment of the forms of a
newspaper going to press-there is a consider
able minority who are capable of anything that
does not involve an experience in Jail. The
authority intrusted to lawyers is out of all pro-
portion to their average responsibility and it
would seem that some measure is necessary to
protect the citizens against the abuse of their
powers.

questions, have a mind and an eve of their own.
The arbitrary observance of certain style of
couture or certain style in dress is to-day
almost a tradition. We will add, however, that
crown braids and high coiffures arranged la
Josephine or in japanese style have almost in
variably taken the lead in hair dressing for the
warmer seasons for several years past 1t is
really more cool and comfortable style for
summer, and where it is becoming it will be
more generally adopted than the classic couture
la Langtry, so long the favored arrangement.
