Universalist General Convention.

AKRON, Oct. 2l.-Fhe work of the Universal
list General Convention, to-day, was largely pre-
liminary to final action on many matters which
will come up again tomorrow. An invitation,
signed by all the Universalist churches of New
York, to hold the next years meeting there, was
presented and referred. The need Of constant
ly recruiting the ranks of the Uniyersalist min
istry was emphasized in the report of the COM
mittee on increase of the ministry.
Among the resolutions which were submitted
by Rev. NJ. L. Edwards, of Iowa, was the fol-
lowing:
as it existed in q portion of our country when this
convention assembled here, in 1913, and uttered it's
protest against it, has been abolished, We
are compelled to recognize the fact that hui
man nature remains essentiallythe same; that
the greed, and pride, and ambition which made
such slavery possible are ever at work and active in
duce great masses of the people to the condition of
'hewers of wood and drawers of water" for others,
and we lament the obvious fact that some of the laws,
institutions and customs, and some of the organiza
lions and economic forces now at work In the com
munity are directly or indirectly producing results
and conditions between man and man contrary to the
plainest principles Of natural justice and Christian
love, and especially subversive of that golden rule,
which teaches us to do unto others as we would that
Others should do unto us.
Resolutions committing the Universalist
Church to advance ground on the temperance
question and to opposition to tobacco were pre-
sented and referred.
The committee on uniformity in church serv-
ices reported progress.
A proposition for a congress of the Univer-
salist Church to be held next ~year.for the dis
cussion solely of questions of ethics, theology,
sociology and philosophy was laid over.
The Woman's Centenary Association held its
annual meeting on Wednesday afternoon.

II would be doing great injustice to the
public were we to fail to reproduce the best
features Of one Of the Sentinels editorials of
yesterday. The article shows how utterly and
completely the Democracy has been whipped
out in this canvass. The position of the Sen
tinel when not humorous is pitiable. Kicked
and buffeted by king Bynum and his "swash-
bucklers," despised and ridiculed by the sensi-
BILE men Of its own party, the paper is scarcely
responsible for what it says; but some things it
prints are too lugubriously funny to be allowed
to die in the obscurity of its own columns;
hence we have been in the habit of reprinting
some of the most notable gems. Here are a
few from yesterdays jeremiad:
"The Republican party of Indiana has been
converted into a party Of sneak-thieves.
'Its ex officio leader is Chairman Huston,
of the Republican State central committee.
Its organ is the Journal.
"The Journal is the hypocritic apologist
and defender Of the criminals who have made
the Republican party odious for all time. In
all the wide reaches Of this land there is not
to be found a newspaper assuming to voice
the sentiments of a political organization
which has so small a sense of honor as the
Journal.
"As a specimen of Indiana journalism, its
editorial page disgraces the profession; and if
we admit the hypothesis that as tine organ of
the party is a fit representative of that party
then the conclusion is immediate and irresist-
ible that the Republican party of Indiana is
made up of m-singing sneaks.
"Since the convention it has set itself, after
beginning with a show of prayer and genu-
~flexion, to induce the people to believe a lot
of falsehoods of its own coming in order that
their attention might be diverted from the
real issues of the campaign"
We submit that the Journal must be rather
a good paper to knock the Sentinel so silly as
this. Now is the time to subscribe.

THE FIGHT AT LITTLE BIG TORN.
The Story Told by an Alleged Survivor of
General Clusters Command.

General Clusters Command.
Washington Special.
The only soldier survivor of the Custer mas
sacre called on General Sheridan, at the War
Department.. this morning. His name is Martin

thirty-three years old. He now is attached to
the artillery, but wants a messengers berth in
the department. He has been twice successful
in the annual craftsmanship competitions, and
on that account wears two sets of target badges
on his collar. At the time of the Custer mas
sacre no was bugler of the guard, and was close
to Custer when the latter discovered the Sioux
village at the Little Big Horn. he thus tells the
story:
II was right with General Custer when he
spied the Indian village. only a short distance
away. He dismounted. and, after glancing over
the situation, drew out his notebook and
wrote a few lines on a leaf. Tearing
the leaf out, he handed it to me, and
ordered ne to take it to Major Reno and
Captain Benteen. This was IN order for them
to hurry up with their He saw from
the size of the village that the engagement would
be a severe one, and he therefore told me not to
attempt to reach him again until afterward.

in getting away a distance, but they had been

81 was the only soldier survivor. There was
an Indian scout named Curly who made his es-
cape. Before the battle commenced he saw that
it would be a massacre, so he loosened his hair,
snatched off a piece Of red trimming from his
clothes to tie it with, tore a large blanket in two
and wrapped it around his legs, as if he wore
leggings, and, then throwing a blanket over his
shoulders, he looked not unlike a hostile Sioux.

JUSTICE TO MR.. JONAS.

Among the first consuls nominated
by President Cleveland was Senator
Chas. Jonas as Consul at Prague;
but he was rejected by the Austrian
government, political reasons being
assigned therefor. Although there
was no basis whatever for reasons
of this kind, Mr.. Jonas submitted
to his rejection in such a quiet and
dignified manner that many have
entirely forgotten the circumstance.
The following from The Evening
Wisconsin explains the true reason
for the rejection of Mr.. Jonas.
From a special report made by ConsulGeneral
Jussen, of Vienna, it appears that the rejection
of Charles Jonas. Of Racine. as consul at Prague,
was really instigsted by his predecessor, c. A.
Phelps, of Massachusetts, who expected thus to
be continued in Office. The story in brief is that
Consul Phelps identified himself with the anti
Bohemian element in Prague and when Mr..
Jonas a countryman Of the latter, was nomina-
ted, secured his rejection through his influence
with the anti Bohemians. Count Taafe, the
prime minister, was thus obliged to assign
political objection to Mr.. Jonas when none ex-
listed. This clears Mr. Jonas of all possible fault,
but none was ever imputed where he IS known.

4 Misehievous Colt Which Could DO Man,
Remarkable Things.
Did You ever own nice horse, who
was full of fun and mischief, and whose
eye seemed to have a laugh in it? Let
me tell you aboat such ? one. She wa
as black as jet; she had white star in
her face, and a white stocking on her
left hind foot. She was round and
plump, and very quick in her motions
She could trot, rack, pace and run. and
Under the saddle was a charmer. Her
name was Juliette. As colt she TOOK
the lead in mischief.
She could unite a bow-knot. even
when the end of the strap was put
through the bough and drawn up
tightly. But she was not SO foolish as
to 10 this when there was no occasion.
But omit feeding her when the other
horses were fed, and then step cut of
the barn for few moments; suddenly
return, and she would be found united,
and in a stall with another horse, help
ing herself to his grain. She had three
associates, whom she led fhto mischief
in the night She would open the barn
door, which was fastened with hook
and staple; open the BARNARD gate by
drawing out the pin that held it. She
would let down the bars with her teeth.
and lead her three trusting companions
into the Grain field. There they would
be found in the morning, while she had
returned to the barn before the boys
were up. She had such an innocent
look when she had been on these excur-
SONS that it would call forth ones ad-
miration. When L rode her to bring
back the colts she seemed to know what
We were after. She would 90 quite di-
rect to where those wicked colts could
be found, and we would chase them
home in 4 hurry.
One night a mysterious noise was
heard at the barn. Horse-thieves were
not unknown. and, as we had the best
horses in the neighborhood, great
anxiety was felt. Father drew himself
softly out of his warm bed. Revolver
in hand. he went carefully and quietly
out of the house, followed by a courage
Gus bulldog.
You can imagine his establishment
when, instead of finding horse-thieves.
he found Juliette. standing with the
raised pump-handle in her mouth trying
to pump water; while the three colts,
with unbounded confidence in her abil-
ity, stood ut the trough watching her
with eXpectant eyes.-Or Little ones.
