the Queen and Crescent route will be dis
continued. After Monday no trains will
be run in Alabama except local accommo-
dation trains. The Board of Health, at
Jacksonville, Miss, issued the following
notice: 'tThis city is now surrounded by
Gordon and every effort will be
made to prevent the spread of the yellow
fever. A census is now being taken,
which will not only show the number of
persons remaining here, but also the
number protected and the number un-
protected and the number protected by
a previous attack of the disease. The
city is now pretty we'll depopulated; but
as soon as camp for refugees can be es-
tablished an effort will be made to re-
move the unprotected persons remaining.
The public may rest assured that we will
do all in our power to prevent the spread
of the disease. The report for the TWEEN

Wilson, who is supposed to have died Of
yellow fever at Wildwood, on Lookout
Mountain, near Chattanooga, Tenn, is
sick, but Chattanooga physician who
visited him returned and reported that
the sick man was suffering from bilious
attack. All freight and passenger trains
on the Alabama Great Southern Railroad
have been abandoned owing to the rigid
quarantine at Chattanooga, and at other
points on the line. Memphis and
Charleston trains cannot enter that city.
Arrangements will probably be effected
whereby mail and express matter can be
delivered between Memphis and Steven
son. Trains will pass through Morgan
county in which Decatur is situated at
not less than fifteen miles an hour, and
ali train men are under oath not to take
on passenger IN any county in which
an infected point is located. The Chat
tanooga quarantine has been and is so
effective that one person from an infected
point could be discovered even after a
iiberal reward was offered for his appre-
hension. No one is allowed to enter the
city of Chattanooga without giving a
satisfactory account of himself.

NOT WANTED.

Joseph Hayden, W. 0. Ware, Mace
Redmond and Abner Lanham, of Felic-
ity, Ohio, were arrested on affidavits by
Pierce Grayson and several other colored
school children, residents of Felicity,
charging the four individuals arrested
with assault and battery. This is the
elimination of bitter warfare over the
admission of the colored school children
to the white schools of Felicity district.
1t appears from the evidence that col
ored child is not permitted to enter the
school building, and if these children do
gain admission, they are taken hold of by
the guards, who seem to have been APP
pointed by the whites, and forcibly re-
moved from the building.

BARBARA HICKS WORK.

The Life of Woman Known as the
 FouDdress of American MethOdism.
 Barbara Heck is known in church. history as 'the foundress of American Methodism. She was born in Ireland of German parents, who belonged to settlement of German emigrants from the Rhine Palatinate to the Emerald Isle. These people soon came under the influence of Wesley and his preachers, and formed one of the strongest Methodist societies in Ire land. In 176O Philip Embury, Meth odist preacher, with number of these Germans. including Paul Heck and his wife Barbara, sailed for New York. Settling there, for some reason they gave up their Wesleyan meetings, but in 1766 Mrs. Heck had become so impressed with the wickedness of this falling off that she felt called upon to arouse her friends from their lethargy. Her earnest words so im- pressed Embury that he again under took his work as preacher She rested not until she had gathered a little congregation to meet at his house, and by their joint exertions the famous "Old John Street Chapel" the first Methodist Church in America was built. When Wesley's preachers came to take charge of the John Street Church. Mrs. Heck removed with her family and that of Embury to Northern New York. where they founded Methodist societies They finally set tied in Upper Canada, and became the founders of their denomination in that locality Barbara Heck died there, at the residence of her son, Samuel Heck. near Augusta. in 1894, at the age of seventy years, Chicago Inter, Ocean

RUNNING INTO DEBT.
Practical Words of Advice to Young Men
 from Dr. COllYer

II
 from Dr. COllyer.
 So common is the habit of borrow ing or getting things on credit that the average young man thinks no more concernedly of doing it than if it was a recognized and honorable business privilege. Robert Collyer. in his ad- mirable Talks to Young Men," makes the following wholesome remarks on this subject:
 1know of few things in our life so full of peril 10 young man as run ming into debt It has done more damage to our finest manhood than any other thing can think of. except drinking whisky, and to good many men there is no danger from that. even. so long as they stand free from thls curse of debt. But a man is driven into the second evil often in trying to forget the first, or to abate its burden. It is not true, as we might imagine, that only those of poor and shiftless sort drift into debt The worst of the curse is that it SC very often takes our choicest young men captive. and drags them down to this shame-young men of q genuine honesty so far as good intention= go. when hey set out in life. l. is like a thread of golden wire. so fine they do not sec 1t at first or feel il; but day by day other threads are bound about them, and these twist themselves at last into cable from which they find it very hard and bitter work to get free. Do not spend money you can not we'll spare. If you buy Bible, even, you can not afford to buy just then. you wander to where the wires are set, and may do more harm 10 your self thereby than the Bible will ever do you good Nay I will say more than this: Ifyou so misread your Bible as 10 trus5 God will take care of you when you ought to take care of yourself in this most sacred busi- ness of paying as you go. you had better sell your Bible at the first old bookstore and buy Poor R; ;chard Almanac or The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin like that worI of sound divine who says that next to the grace of God, paying cur debts right along is the best means Of grace in the world 10 deliver us from thou sand snares. Do not run into debt. then. Save that you may spend. Do what a true man may dc to provide things honest in the sight of all men.

LEMAITRE'S JOKES.
How an Eminent French Actor Tried His
 Roles in Real Life.


 Roles in Real Life.
 When the eminent French actor Le- maitre had new role to play he in- variably tried It on the public in the everyday course of his life before acting it on the stage. One day he was travelling in crowded stage coach when the idea struck him to rehearse scene in which he was to rersonate the part of sick man. Suddenly his visage became. as it were, decomposed; his eyes grew dim; his arms dropped down motionless; hls body doubled up and he sighed and groaned most heart-rendingly.
 All his fellow-travelers regarded him with fear and trembling; some thought he was seized with black cholera and on the point of death. The coach stopped and he was about 10 be removed to the nearest doctor, when Lemaitre, judging that he had gone quite far enough, and delighted with his success, gradually became himself again. and few witty re- marks disclosed the secret of his illness.
 On another occasion he indulged in similar rehearsal at the Cafe des Varieties, but this time he nearly got into hot water. He entered the cafe, swaggering like a bully. and after gazing at all the customers with con- tempt, stopped at table where young officer and his wife were sitting. Here his bearing became so insolent that every body protested, and callel on the landlord to turn him out. The young officer, pale with rage and indignation, rushed at him and de- manded an explanation.
 Suddenly Lemaitre again changed his appearance. He was no longer the Captain Fracasse of few min utes previous, but confirmed idiot, un- conscious of what he had done The officer shrugged his shoulders in pity and resumed his seat. while the actor, taking the next table. sat down like an ordinary customer, ordered some cof- fee and proceeded to real the papers as if nothing had happened. -PaH MGU Gazette.

 'I live in the little house under the hill, said Constance, '.It isn't like your house. "
 'But it has pretty vines and climb ing roses. and it's nice house to live in," said Douglas. 'I dare say you are happy there."
 "Yes Idon't want to come to this school again." said Constance. softly

He lay delirious from the injuries to his head caused by the vase he had tried so hard to protect. Every person supposed that in a desperate struggle he had killed the burglar. and when the spring time came and he got stronger in health. and the wound had almost healed his wife and friends realized that he was hopelessly insane. He rapidly gained in strength, but his face bore troubled look. and for hours he sat brooding-always refus- ing to enter the sitting room and in- sisting that all the mantle pieces be taken down and that his wife put on no jewelry. Mt until May was he able to take short walks.
 One bright morning Mrs. Goodwin put on him heavy coat and sent him for his usual walk in charge of serv- ant. The path lay over one of the many hea;hs that surround the great ely of London and past a TOW of houses in course of erection. As the invalid and his attendant ap- preached one of these houses a hod carrier came down a ladder and commenced filling his hod with bricks. When the invalid was almost opposite him the man looked up and shouted 10 a fellow laborer on the half built wall. This companion looked over the side and the bright sunlight. reflected from a piece of tin roofing, fell strongly on his face. Goodwin stopped short. Then with a bound he reached the lad der, and before the ervant could stop him almost flew up. In an instant he had the man by the throat
 You murdered the man Tom," he shouted.
 Stand off; you lie; backr' shouted the man, recoiling aghast.
 Then springing forward and putting forth all his strength he hurled the weak man 10 the ground below.
 For moment the double murderer 1 stood still. Then, buttoning his coat over his breast and stepping forward he said:
