NEW YORK, May 25-The majority Of
visitors to picture gallery take terrific
pains TO conceal their ignorance, They
never looked so knowing in their lives nor
knew SO lite, as a general thing. They
enter with catalogue in hand and faces hard
set, ready TO die for what they don't know,
if need be. Nowhere else on the green earth
do they wear countenances so forbid'ling.
This is to prevent anv one from SUI pc ting
that III y are not infallibe critics of every
thing in tn nature OF art, from the Louvre
to Christmas card The stout middle aged
woman, faaked by row of i'm daughters,

absurd" that one has "ialse coloring"
another contains bit OF wat Ar worth prais-
ing. and stll another has "a fine effect"
whatever that may be. The daughters are
i pressed. Their opinion OF mammals acute
ness is confirmed
A young man in a shooting jacket makes
the round, lookrg neither to the right nor

evidently one of his ways of appearing en-

picture and squints at it with his eye an

more and more Som thing in its technique
does great violence to his taste. Some of
the lookers-on who are seated and watching
the others ut their ease put him down as u

Over-dressed women, who hang to "hubby's"

there to find fault. Very few realize that
the who,e purros of the exhibi ion is to give

RUNNING COMMENTS ON THE
TOPICS OF THE DAY.
Austin Citizen.

LOW is IT.
Somebody wants to fight Taylor Moore
because he supports Judge Terrell for U.
S. senator. What absurdity. MORE is al
right and the man that runs against him
and Terrell will find themselves badly left
on the day of election. Terrell does not
belong to our party and every republican
knows that it is usele SIS to talk about elect
ing a republican to the U. S. senate.
Then is it not the duty of every citizen to
try and select man who is best calculated
do the most good for the people? 1t seems
perfectly ridiculous the way some of the
Lapers speak of TerrelIs herd and free
grass policy when every man in the whole
Legislature was at loss to know what kind
of a law would meet the demands. Terrell
was the champion of the whole body and
eyes. Texas was turned upon him. The
great questions which have risen up be-
fore the people in the last few years, need
ca N and wise legislation. Terrell has
shown in his great speech at the opera
house that he stands firm upon the ques-
tions of the day, he will not be in favor of
railroads, cattle kings, land pirates,
Knights of Labor or communist, bat he
will stand by and with the people, but
some say Judge Terrell has changed Have
you not heard the old true saying, wise
men change, but fools never change. The
interest Of the people is greater than the
interest If men. and for this reason the
people will take the man with broad ex-
pansive views to represent them in the
next u. S. senate

The Boy Shakespeare and the Players.

1t was during the year of John Shak-
speare's High Bailiffship that plays are
first mentioned in the records at STRAIT
ford. According to the custom of the
day, when the players belonging to
some great nobleman came to town,
they reported themselves to the mayor
to get license for playing. If the
mayor liked them, or wished to show
respect to their master. he would APP
point them to play their first play before
himself and the council. This was
called the Mayors Play, every one COM
ing in free, and tine mayor giving the
PLAYERS a reward in money. Between
the autumns of 1868 and 1869,
THE Queens and the Earl of Worcester
players visited the town and gave representa-
lions before the council, the former company
receiving nine shillings and the latter twelve
pence for their first performances
And there is little reason to doubt that
our little Will, then between five and six
years old, was taken to see them
bv his father, the mayor, as a little
boy named Willis was taken at Glou-
cester that same year. and, standing be
tween his fathers knees, Master VIII
probably there got his first experience Of
the art in which he was to become the
master for all ages. We wonder what
that first play was-some quaint, rude
drama probably, such as the one little
Willis saw at Gloucester, with plenty o.
princes and fair ladies. and demons
with painted masks, and the '.Herod'
in red gloves, of the Coventry Mys
terry" players. Rose Kingsley, an st

The leading reyivalist OF the day, is O
good stock. He was born in Gainesville
Barlow county, Georgia, in 1919. Hi.
father was a soldier in the war. and after
| wards practiced law. Several OF his uncIes
and his grandfather share, or did share
with him the preachers vocation, with
preferences for the Methodist denomina-
ton.
Sam Jones, though not learned, is far
from being an unlettered man. and could
be more elegant in his diction if he cared
more for the literary prophecies. He re-
ceived good academic education. and
was voracious reader during his boy hood
ami youth Having attained the proper
age be adopted the learned profession Of
the law and prospered in practice notwith-
standing thar, according 10 his account of
what he was at that period of his life, he
was drunkard and a gambler There is
no evidence that he was even ''hard"
character. He was generous, gay, joyial
and bit wild, and blundered into wicked
ness sometimes, bur was never hardened
sinner, and his friends deprecate his being
SO understood when he calls his past to
mind in the great congregation.
The revivalist married when young, and
began a singularly harmonious domestic
life with daughter of Kentucky who is
now living and the joyful mother of six
children.
1t was in the year 1870 that Sam began
to take religious view of life, the occa-
sion of the change being the impression
wrought on his mind by the death of his
father. Soon after this event he joined the
church and began to be heard in meeting.
His gifts illuminated his graces. and be-
fore long he was popular preacher. The
first ten years of his work in the pulpit
were spent in different parts of Georgia.
After that time, in 1881, he began revival
istic work outside of his native State.
In April last, he ard his co-laborer, Sam
Small, preached TO immense audiences in
Columbus, Miss, and sowed good seed
there that bore abundant and immediate
fruit The readers Of The CLARION will
remember the very graphic sketch by Rev.
DIR. Andrews, in which he described his
red-hot earnestness and his Inimitable and
irresistible appeals. A large number were
added to the different churches in that city.
His labors in Chicago, Cincinnati, In
dianapolis and Baltimore, have resulted
in the conversion of thousands. His next
appointment is at the Sea-Shore Camp
meeting next month, special excursion
rate for which has been arranged by some
of the good people of Hazlehurst. A
special train will leave Jackson on Friday
morning, July 9th, the fare for the round
trip being only 500, with corresponding
reduction for all stations south. Tickets
good for ten days, and holders may return
on any regular passenger train.

Analysing the Baking Powders.

Under the direction of the New York
State Board of Health, eighty-four differ
ent kinds of baking powders, embracing
all the brands that could be found for sale
in the State, were submitted for examina-
ton and analysis by Prof. c. F. Chandler,
a member of the State Board and Presi-
dent of the New York City Board of
Health, assisted by Prof. Edward G.. Love,
the well-known late United States Govern
ment chemist.
The official report shows that large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime many of
them to such an extent az to render them
seriously Objectionable for use in the prep
aration of human food.
Alum was found in twenty samples.
This drug is employed in baking powders
| to cheaper their cost The presence of
! lime is attributed to the impure cream OF
| tartar of commerce used In their manufac-
ture. Such cream of tartar was also
analyzed, and found to contain lime and
other impurities; in some samples 20 the
extent of 90 per cent. OF their entire weight.
| All the baking powders of the market,
with The single exception OF Royal" mot
| including the alum and phosphate powders,
which were long since discarded as unsafe
or insufficient by prudent house-keepers)
are made from the impure cream of tartar
of commerce, aud consequently contain
lime to a corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by

lime and absolutely pure is the Royal
This perfect purity results from the exclu-
sive use of cream Of tartar specially refined
and prepared by patent processes OF the n
