Probably the Smallest Man Ever Ad-
mitted to Practice.
Horace F. Parks, of Salem, Columbi-
ana county. an applicant for admission
to practice law ut the bar of Ohio, has
attracted no little attention for the past
two days, as he passed along the streets,
by his diminutive size. He passed a
successful examination and yesterday
received the necessary documents to
dispense Blackstone to his clients. Mr..
Parks is not proud ofhis size, and to be
"the observed of all observers" annoys
him almost beyond endurance. He
will be twenty-five years old in Sep
tember next, is fifty-two inches tall,
and weighs by the Neil House scales
one hundred and five pounds. He has
a brother at Salem who is an attorney,
and he proposes to form co-partner-
ship with him as soon as he returns
home. In speaking of the show busi-
ness, he said: II have never had any
one propose to take me with an exhi-
bition of any kind, and should not ac-
cept any engagement, as have o con-
tempt for that kind of business. I have
been to college and have fitted myself
for the profession oflaw. Where per-

The usual treatment of catarrh is very
unsatisfactory, as thousands of despair
ing patients can testify. On this point
trustworthy medical writer says:
"Proper local treatment is positively
necessary to success, but many, if not
most, of the remedies in general use by
physicians afford but temporary bene-
fit. A cure cannot certainly be eX-
pected from snuffs, powders, douches
and Washes" Ely's Cream Balm is a
remedy which combines the important
requisites of quick action, specific cura-
tive power with perfect safety and
pleasantness to the patient. 2t

MUST DIE ToGETHER.
Mother and Son TO Meet Death on the
Scaffold.
[san Francisco Examiner j

loan AEenCirCo EAAtuAucf.l
Judge Langford this morning pro.
nounced the death sentence upon Mrs.
Pyle aud her son, John Hurn, convict
ed Of murder and arson. While being
taken upstairs Mrs. Pyle made tre-
mendous efforts TO restrain herself,
which she did until just before reach
ing the court room door. Her terrible
effort to keep the tears back caused q
rush of blood to the head, and Just be-
fore passing into the court room she
burst into tears, and blood gushed from
her nostrils almost in streams and
coursed down over her mobth and chin
saturating her clothing. .t-.
John Hurn supported her, and she
was half carried to chair. Hurn was
as pale as death, but by desperate
effort managed to control his feelings.
When Mrs. Pyle was told to stand up
for sentence she made no effort to move,
but seemed speechless. Her attorney,
with one hand resting on the doomed
woman, spoke for her. When asked If
she had anything to say why the
sentence of death should not be passed
her attorney answered in the negative.
In answer to the request to stand, Hurn
aLOoCY tttiu dtbWCh W IL
he had any thing to say why sentence
should not be pronounced, answered:
~ have nothing to say, your honor"
In low tones, trembling with emotion,
and audible at distance of only a few
feet. Judge LaDgford pronounced
sentence of death upon each of the pris-
oners. He announced that the date
of the execution would be hereafter
designated in the warrant. During the
proceedings John Hurn's sole thought
seemed to be of his mother, whom he
supported and endeavored to comfort,
paying but little attention to what the
Judge was saying. The condemned
pair were then returned to the Jail.
When Mrs. Pyle reached her cell she
exclaimed:
"Oh, my poor heart is bleeding" and
again sobbed hysterically.
The only hope remaining is through
Executive clemency. No effort will be
made to secure stay in the proceed
ings. In the case of w. s. Clinck, also
convicted of murder in the first degree,
Judge Langford has refused a motion
for new trial.

A Sensible View of a Sensible Paper.
philadelphia Ledger, (Rep.)l


The Democratic National Conven-
ton at st. Louis having completed its
business-what it has done is before
the public for review and consideration.
The convention was an important body.
Sensible men of all parties should un-
derstand and appreciate that. 1t is
folly for any Republican or Prohibition
ist or Labor party man to shut his eyes
to that fact. It would be weak and
risky to attempt to ignor the import
ance of either the convention or its
nominations and proceedings. The
convention represented the party
which polled nearly 100000 of votes
in 1884 and elected Mr.. Cleveland by
nearly 5000 plurality over Mr.. Blaine;
that party is at this time dominant in
the administration of the Government
and in the public affairs of this coun-
try; it has the prestige ofrecent success,
and is now full of confidence that the
same candidate for the Presidency,
with or without strong candidate for
the second place, will carry them sue
cessfully through the same States in
1888 that gave them the victory in
1884.
Those of its opponents, therefore,
who give fullest heed to the strength
of its nominations and the advantage
of its position will be wisest; while
those of its opponents, who act upon
the puerile policy of cheapening and
deriding the convention, its nominees
and proceedings will be foolish advis-
ers, and run themselves and their fol-
lowers into danger of defeat.

SMUT MACHINES.
Rev. MFR. Pendleton Sends an Abject
Apology to President Cleveland.


WASHINGTON, D. c., June 9.-The
campaign smut machines, which were
started before the st. Louis convention,
have been smashed and it is probable
that no further attempt will be made
to make political capital out of circu-
lating libelous and silly scandals con-
cerning Mr. Cleveland and his do
nestle affairs. The President has re-
ceived letter from the Rev. G. H. PEN
dleton, the Baptist minister of Wor-
cester, Mass, who, it is charged, made
himself responsible for the publication
of the offensive yarns about the Presi-
dent and his wife, in which the rever-
end gentleman is said to have made q
very abject apology for what he said
about the President and Mrs. Cleve.

while in Washington attending the
Baptist convention, and had repeated
them when h" returned home, hut did
not intend that they should he pub

for Mr.. Cleveland in the fall.

Foraker's Dirty Attack.
COLUMBUS, O., June 9.-The inter-
view with Governor Foraker on Sena-
tor Thurman which was spread all over
the country by the associated press
created considerable indignation among
citizens here irrespective of party. The
Governor as usual descended to the
slime of gutter politicians and attacked
Mr.. Thurman's patriotism and char
acter as citizen. He no doubt hoped
to aid his Presidential boom by con-
troversy with Mr.. Thurman, but the
scheme was complete failure. This
afternoon q correspondent called upon
the Senator and asked his opinion of
the Foraker interview. Mr.. Thurman
promptly replied that he cared nothing
whatever about 1t.

poured in on Mr.. Thurman all day, sew.

Continuation of the series of Religious
Dlscourses at h congregational
Church.
Last evening the discourse of Rev. D.
r. Tomlin OF the Congregational church
WAS from Mark 11:22 "Hsve faith in

rebnke for lack of faith. / can have
charity for an honest doubter. So had
Christ. He gives ell the evidence neces-
sary to clear away misgivipgs. You can,
not be an honest donbter until you put
God to the test. Bring yourself before
God and put yourself.In an attitude TO
receive evidence.
Have faith in God. Marx the phrase
.ology-note the little word in-don't
substitute any other word. Faith in God
is necessary to salvation-faitb in his
promises and ability to save. This faith
ID essential. To substitute anything for
faith, repentance, prayer, is to fail of sal.
vatlon. He that cometh to God must
believe that he is, and that he is the re-
warder OF those who diligently seek him.
faith is important. the human element,
as necessary to salvation as the blood OF
Christ. Notice what faith does, that we
may see the importance of possessing it.
First-faith essves-without faith you

sick soul here tonight, God says from
his eternal throne. Have faith In God.
By grace are ye saved through faith. To
believe, trust and cast all upon him is
the most pleasing thing to God. Second
faith brings q sense OF justification.
Therefore, being justified by faith we
have peace with God through our Lord
Jesus Christ. Third-faith keeps. We
are kept by the power OF God through
faith into salvation. God will keep rs
by his omnipotent power if we believe.
Fourth-faith measures the blessings
we receive. Why are we 30 impoverished

of lack OF faith in God. Have we faith
