A Pitiful Case.

Mention was made in this paper on
Saturday Of the case Of hayward girl
being deserted and restored to her
mother. The circumstances were a
part Of the same old story of folly, lust
and ruin, which have fretted the world
from its beginning. The victim was a
simple country girl, voluptuous in form
and pleasing in appearance, and was,
at the time Of her betrayal, in Austin
IN attendance on an institution of
learning. The man was also resi-
dent, temporarily, of Austin, and the
two met and began criminal connec-
ton which resulted In scandal and the
seducer took his victim away, and for
month they travelled about the coun.
try, the man exulting in the posses
sion of a rich find, and the girl, for
temporary pleasure, consenting to be
damned for an eternal moment or two.
The man grew tired of his victim and
reaching Waco he deserted and aban-
doned her leaving her in situation Of
disgrace and in q condition BETTING
only wife. The repentaut girl wrote
to her mother, or the good lady who
had adopted her, who fastened to the
city and took her home. It is sad
story but one too often occurring
There are only two safe places in the
world for young girl, the one under
the sheltering wings Of her parents
and the other IN the arms of hus-
band,

Mayor Hinchman is at present in

"Mayor A. Hinchman, mayor Of Waco,
Texas, is in the city looking after some
real estate interests he has here. He
is firm believer in Kansas City and
thinks that it is the most wonderful
city in the world. Its steady and
rapid growth has been little less than
marvellous he said yesterday. ''Other
cities have had booms and sudden
growth, but they generally proved Of
an ephemeral nature. Not SO with
Kansas City. 1t has the natural basis
upon which to erect great and -four.
ishing city. Its surrounding country
is possessed of all the valuable 70.
sources which give birth and continual
prosperity to great cities. Why, only
few years ago St. Louis was great
market for the people Of the Lone
Star State, but Kansas City has been
gradually making encroachments upon
st. Louis, and now enjoys fully one
half Of the Texas trade. In m,
opinion if Kansas City keeps up it
present strides it will soon be form
liable rival Of Chicago" Mayor Hinch

THE MISTAKE OF xNGERSOLL.

There have not been wanting many,
who, watching the cratic but bril-
liant career Of Ingersoll. have pre-
dicted that he would eventually fall
on the bosom of the church and be-
come o celebrated preacher. This pre-
diction was based on pretty intimate
knowledge Of extreme men. II prov
cd, however, to be incorrect as to the
direction in which the talented infidcl
would leap but not as to its extent,
for the gulf between agnosticism and
in6delity is greater than that which
divides lecturing infidel and chris.
tian preacher. The new departure of
this glittering comet is not without
its explanation by natural process, on
q little consideration Of the state of
things which meets an ardent thinker
who discards revelation and trusts to
the reading Of nature alone. For, on
the existence Of a God, nature, if not
contradictory, is at least puzzling. 1t
has two pages, the physical world and
the moral world. On the first page
the evidence Of the existence Of q
God runs between every line; in the
second, it is wholly wanting. This
seeming contradiction lit is not real,
since the evidence on one page is pos
tive and in the other only lacking),
has puzzled millions, but it never yet
made an atheist. Those intellectual
giants, the Greeks, puzzled over it for
hundreds Of years but did not deduce
atheism from the study. They made
a conclusion that was logical at least
for they settled down to the conclusion
that, the Gods had created the world
and set it going, but, that either from
multiplicity Of cares, or having
grown tired of the plaything, they
had forgotten it or left it to take care
of itself.
Atheism springs only from study
of the second page of natures book to
the neglect Of the first. The student
sees on that record made up mainly
Of misery and injustice, and if he be a
warm.hearted, impulsive enthusiast,
unread in the physical world, his NOR
al nature revolts and he denies the ex-
istence of God. This is Ingersoll's
situation to dot.
In becoming an atheist Ingersoll
has crossed the rubicon of his success.
Revealed religion is largely matter
of faith, while natural religion is in
stinctive. The idea of a goddess
world is abhorrent to humanity, even
to the most depraved and Goddess,
while to the pure and learned it is a
monstrosity. The most utter Calvinis-
tic doctrine Of heaven, hell and inf
mite moral retribution is more tolesa-
BILE to tho reason than the idea of Gre
ated without creator and of a great
universe going on from eternity to
eternity, .ungoverned and uncared
for. There are times of mad hate and
fierce passions, like those of the
French revolution, where atheism is
tolerable, but it is possible only in
such cases and that because one mad
ness is in unison with another mad.
ness.
The repugnanco of the atheistic
idea will clip the wings Of that mar
velous rhetoric which has made the
fame Of Ingersoll. His tropes and
figures and his grand imagery, which
carried men away captive on the mis-
takes Of Moses, will avail nothing in
the exposition Of the mistakes Of al
universe without . God.

zeal Voices, Catarrh and False
Teeth

A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrills
nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
INVITING they get about this nasal twang,
and yet 1t IS fact caused by Our dry,
stimulating atmosphere, and the uni
versaI presence of catarrhal difficulties
But why should so many of Our wO-
men have false teeth?
That Is more of poser to the Eng
Iish. 1t Is quite impossible to account
for it except on the theory Of derauged
stomach action caused by imprudence
IN eating and by want of regular exer-
else.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cOugh and consumption,
which are promoted by mal-nutritiOn
induced by derAnged stomach action.
The condition IS n modern one. one uu-
known to our ancestors who prevented
the catRrrh, cold, cough and cOnsump-
ton by abundant and regular use of
what is now known as Warmers Log
Cabin cough and consumption remedy
and Log Cabin sarsaparilIa, two old fash
Toned standard remedies handed down
from our ancestors, and now exclusively
put forth under the strongest
guarantees of purity and efficacy by the
wOrld-famed makers of Warmers safe
cure. IueSe Two remedies plenUl1uLlY
used rs the fall and winter seasons adj
vance, together with an occasional use
of Warmers Log Cabin rose cream, to
strengthen and protect the nasal mem
branes, give a positive assurance of free
dom, both from catarrh and those dread
full and if neglected, inevitable conse-
quences, pneumonia, lung troubles and
consumption, which so generally and
fatally prevail among our people.
COmrade Eli Fisher, of Salem, Henry
county, Iowa, served four years In the
late war and contracted "a disease called
consumption by the doctors. He had
frequent hemOrrhages. After using
Warmers Log Cabin cough and con-
sumption remedy, he says, under date of
Jan. 18th, 1888: 81 do not bleed at the
lungs any more, my cough does not
bother me- and do not have any more
smothcring spells" Warmers Log
Cabin rose cream cured his wife of
catarrh and she is ''sound and we'll "
OF course we do not like to have our
women called nose takers and false
teeth owners, but these conditions can

Hartford Times.
A prominent business man in Wat
erbury was, until recently, in the hab-
it Of giving large sums Of money,
which had been taken in after bank
ing hours, into the hands of his wife
for safekeeping. On the 8th of June
he handed her 81, ZOO in bills, and
at the same time remarked that he
would deposit the money in the bank
in the morning.
After breakfast the bills were called
for, but the woman had forgotten
where they were secreted. A general
search was instituted. Bureau drawers
were upset, cupbOards and closets
ransacked, even carpets taken up;
but still the missing money could not
be found. The irate husband stormed
and swOre by note, but the result re-
manned the same.
10 was finally believed that the
money had been stolen. The house
was again put in order, but the vile
received no more deposits for safe
keeping. Sunday night she had a
vivid dream, in which was revealed
the moneys hiding place. Hastily
arising from her couch she lifted the
lid Of an antique chest and unfOlded

Dog DAYS

The fact that more dogs go madin
the Winter and Spring months than
in August has long been recognized
by all intelligent persons except town
councils and lawmakers. Hydro
Phobia is an exceedingly rare disease,
and the fear of it a relic of supersti-
ton. Probably nine-tenths of the
animals shot for hydrOphobia are
suffering from some distemper or
some common disease brought on by
neglect or il-treatment. The use of
the muzzle alone is said to drive some
animals frantic, and chafng and r.
ritating them as these instruments
do, and limiting their freedom to
drink water in the heat Of Summer, it
were hardly a wonder should mad
ness result from their use. Mr.. Par
rift, keeper of the Home for Lost
Dogs in London, in an experience OF
seventeen years. during which he
took care af 100000 dogs of al va
rieties OF breed and in all conditions,
reports that he has never met with a
rabid dog. All dogs received by him
in the institution, which were for OBJ
servatiOn, but no case of rabies de
velOped, sick, or suspected Of rabies,
were locked UP apart itself Some OF
the keepers in this institution have
been bitten again and again, with no
seVerer results than the wounds, and
it is said they have not the slightest
fear of hydrOph0bia. Dogs are, in

hike And the Consiltutioa

From the New York Tribune.
In a group of Congressman several
days ego the conversation turned on
Mayor Hewitt's declaration in favor
Of making an alien subject to a pro

"Judge Sage believed in a strict as

gusted with the perfunctory manner
in which aliens were clothed with tbs
privileges of American citizenship,
and announced that he would grant
no certificate of naturalization to a
man who could not read, or had not
read the Constitution of the United

Perhaps 'MOike' had never heard
Of the Constitution Of the United

had read it, and he had to answer in
the negative. Patrick looked at him
with a cOuntenance full Of reprOach,
and said:
