A Careless Driver.

At So'clock yesterday morning a man, whose
name could not be ascertained, started to
cross Fourteenth street near Farnam. AS he
reached the middle of the street, cutter,
drawn by single horse, came dashing around
the corner at a rapid gate. The driver saw
the pedestrian in ample time to check his
horse but without further effort to avoid
what might have been a serious accident,
contented himself with u yell of warning
Hearing the call, the pedestrian jumped
back, but too late to save himself. One of
the shafts struck him in the shoulder,
knocked him to the ground, the horse for
tunately stepping over his prostrate Body
without injuring him.
One of the runners of the cutter pinned
the fallen man to the ground. Scizing the
runner in his hands the man raised hlmself
and threw the cutter on its side, the rider
lightly stepping to the ground in time to avoid
a severe fall. Without a word of apology
the driver of the cutter, young man named
Howells, employed on Fourteenth street
near Farnam, rIghted his sleigh and pro-
ceeded on his way The gentleman who was
run over was too surprised to utter word,
and gathering himself up limped off to his
place of business. The expressions of the
bystanders on the subject would be instruc
tive if not interesting to young Howells.

Paul's Loving Letter.

One of the best story tellers of the
House is said to be J. G. Cannon, of
Illinois. His latest has to do with
Senator Cullom's committee clerk,
Clarence Paul. Cullom and Cannon
were talking together the other day,
when man slightly under the infu-
ence of liquor, but who was acquainted
with Cannon, came up, and Cannon in
troduced him to Cullom. The man
was very ELUSIVE in his greeting, and
he is a man, by the way, who is noted
for his wit. Cullom, according to Can
non, introduced him to Paul, and the
man said: Why, how do you do, MI.
Paul? I'm glad to meet you, and
there's one thing have been wonder
ing ever since heard about you"
"What's that?" asked Paul?
II want to know" said the semi-in-
toxicated man, whether you ever re-
ceived an answer to that long letter you
wrote to the Ephesians?"

mistakable sincerity, simplicity, and cour-

movement show that agitations for conlpro-

they were realized to be false, while the
agitation for the abstinence of the individ-
ual and prohibition by the state were de-
cidedly gaining ground. There were, of
course, some temporary sporadic REVEALS
OF the compromise agitations, but by some
forty years ago these had, broadly speak

clusion of this hasty letter, Inform you that
nearly hundred wears ago there was a day of
remarkable gloom and darkness-still known
as the dark day-a day when the light Of the
sun was slowly distinguished, as if by an
eclipse: The Legislature OF Connecticut was
in session, and as its members saw the unex-
pcctcd and unaccountable darkness coming on
they shared in the general awe and terror. 1t
was supposed by many that the last day-the
day of judgment-had come. Some one, in
the CONSERVATION of the hour, moved an ad-
iournment. Then there arose an old Puritan
Acknowledgment of Stamford-and said
that if the last day had come, he desired to be
found at his place doing his duty, and there
fore moved that candles be brought in, so that
the House could proceed with it's duty
There was quetness in that mans soul the
quietness of heavenly wisdom and inhexible
willingness to obey present duty.
Duty then is the sublmest word in our Ian
guage. Do your duty in all things like the
old Puritan. You can do not more. You
should never wish to do less. Never let me
and your mother wear our gray hair for any
lack OF duty on your part.
Your affectionate father,

piest place have ever been in except MY

piest place have ever been in except my
own home.
1 know there are some people who say
they are Christians who seem to get along
without any help from others. and who
culture solitary piety. They do not want
that tn class. ] cannot get along without
them; There are so many things in this
world that take my attention from God,
and Christ, and Heaven, that want all
the helps of all the symbols and of all the
Christian associations; and want around
about me solid phalanx of men who love
God and keep His commandments. Are
there any here who would like to enter into
mat association? Then. by simple,
child-like faith, apply for admission into
the visible church, and you will be re-
celved No questions asked about your
past history or present surroundings. Only
one test-sdo you love Jesus?
Baptism does not amount to anything,
say great many people, but the Lord
Jesus declared: "He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved" putting baptism
and faith side by side. And an apostle
declares: aRepent and be baptized, every
one of you" do not sickle for any par
ticular mode of baptism, but put great
emphasis on the fact that YOU ought to DO
baptized. Yet no more emphasis than the
Lord Jesus Christ, the great head of the
church, puts upon it.
The world is going to, after a while,
lose a great many of its votaries. There
are to be revivals OF religion that will shake
the earth: We give you warning. There
is great host coming in to stand under
the banner of the Lord Jesus Christ. Will
you be among them? Will you be among
the gathered sheaves?
Some of you have been thinking on this
subject year after year. You have found
out that this world il poor portion. You
want to be Christians. You have come al
most into the kingdom of God; but there
you stop, fergetful of the fact that to be
almost saved is not to be saved at all. Oh,
my brother, after having come SO near to
the door of mercy. if you turn back, YOU
will never come at all. After you have
heard of the goodness of God if YOU turn
away and die, it will not be because You
did not have good offer.
Gods spirit will not always strive
With hardened, self estroying man:
fe who persist His love to grieve
May never hear His voice again,
May God Almighty this hour move upon
your soul and bring yotl back from the
husks of the wilderness to the Fathers
house, and set you at the banquet and
put ring on your hand"

BY EDWARD E. K1DDER.

Did you ever think, when you meet and drink,
Men OF the country, men OF the town,
That women's tears and children's fears
From your crystal glasses are draining down?
That hopes so high are doomed to die,
Drowned in the liquor you long to taste?
That grand ambitions and lofty missions,
And adnonitions are going to waste?
That q demon dire, with fangs of fire,
Turks in the wine-cups sparkling foam,
While serpents of death, with fetid breath,
Are poisoning Youth, and Hope, and Home?
Pleasure you sought-what has it brought?
Has it not lost you friend on friend?
Do not delay; dash it away
Ereit shall compass its awful end.

A Logical Conclusion.

1. If drunkenness is sinful, then the
drinking customs of society are sinful, be-
cause they are the direct cause of drunken
ness.
2. If the drinking customs are sinful,
then the whole liquor traffic is sinful, for
it is the base ofsupplies for the custom.
3. If the traffic is sinful, then it is sinful
to legalize it, by granting license to conduct
the business.
4. If licensing it is sinful, then it is sim
full to vote for those who favor granting Ii
cense.
S. If voting for those who license, or
favor the licensing Of it is sinful, then vot-
ing with party which maintains the license
system is sinful.
6. Ifthese things are sinful, then it is the
plain duty of every Christian to oppose
them. and maintain the opposite; the pure,
the straight, the right.
Now, is it not we'll to be consistent, and
either vote for prohibition, or cease to pray
against the saloons; and, on the contrary.
ask Gods blessing upon them.-Pentecost.

is the miscreant who murdered Sen
ator Broderck, one of natures noble
men, in duel long years ago. From
that hour to the present the curse of
God seems to have rested on the
murderer. The finale of infamy and
degradation was reached in the case
referred to. The woman he married

Texas Alliance Matters.


SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, September 5.
Last night at the st. Leonard Hotel,
DR.. G. w. Macune, of Dallas, presi-
dent of the National Alliance, and
having in charge Alliance affairs for
the entire South, met the representa-
tives of twelve Southwest Texas
counties and transacted business
looking to the formation of sepa-
rate district for the Southwest, en-
bracing forty counties, and having
it's headquarters at San Antonio. Mr..
r. J. Sledge, of Kyle, was appointed
chairman of the committee to confer
with the board of trade and other
citizens of San Antonio, and will meet
them on Saturday next. The gentle
men who are acting under authority
conferred by the late state meeting
ut Dallas. have formed of Southwest
Texas n district south and west of
and including the counties of Cal
houn. Victoria, Lavaca, Fayette, Bas-
trop, Travis and Burnett. This is
vast extent of territory, larger than
most Northern states. Its combined
product will be poured into San An
tonic if the contemplated deal can be
effected. The Alliance asks for do
nation of $4,000 in real estate, which
will he used as sites for cotton com
press, stock exchange, wool exchange,
etc 1t is anticipated that it will ex-
perience no difficulty in securing the
desired donation. Owing to the fact
that pasture owners are rapidly cut
ting MP their possession into small
farms and that a large immigration
is expected next fall. it is expected
that the cotton handled by San An
tonic next year will be double what
it has been this, Independent of the
trade which the establishment of
Alliance headquarters will center
