1t is just now a good time to raise
the question whether or not as Chris.
tian citizens we do our duty on cleo.
ton day? 1t is easy enough for the
respectable citizen to denounce pol
itics, but is he doing his duty to make
it better? Does he seek the perpe-
tuity of the grand institutions of this
country in the election to office of hon
est, capable, Christian men? If he is
not willing to labor for this end then
he is self-condemned and should for
ever hold his peace. Some one calls
politics "applied morality" 1t needs
to be placed on that high plane, and
every good citizen owes it to his coun-
try and her institutions to attend to
the duties of citizenship even at some
sacrifice. A conscientious use of the
ballot is one Of the most important
of these duties in a government like
ours.-A. r. Presbyterian.
The revival meetings carried on in
John Street Methodist Church, in New
York city, under the charge of Mr..
Harrison, known for many years as
"the Boy Preacher" have been fuller
of excitement the past week than any
similar meetings ever held in this city.
The pastor of the church fell down un-
conscious in the midst of one of his
exortations, and Mr.. Harrison said he
had "a shock of glory" He claims
over 2,2OO converts now, and is sure
that there will be $500 before the
week ends. Mr.. Harrison says it Is

A Real Live Candidate.

The Times was taken to task last week by a
friend of Senator Edwards for publishing his
speech as itappeared in the Columbia Register.
From this circumstance, and other things de-
veloped, it appears that Senator Edwards will
be q candidate for Governor, and that, too, In
the face OF his declining the endorsement OF
his recent county convention for that position.
Therefore we have no hesitation In saying
that Senator Edwards Is real live, active,
working candidate for Governor Florence

A CASE OF MUTUAL pucKr, PICKING.

A peculiar case of mutual pocket
picking took place last evening in
tho neighborhood of the Odeon
Theater. A we'll dressed person,
who is vaguely described as n Bril-
ton, acsosted an equally fasbionably
attited native OF this country, and
asked the way to the Pantheon. The
obliging Gaul pointed out the direct
route to the edifice in question, and
was Immediately asked 5y the nl-
legged English subject to partake Of
some refreshment in an adjacent
cafe. The Frenchman, nothing
loath, entered with the temporary
acquaintance into o house in the
Rue Soufiot, and alcoholic stimu-
lants were ordered oy the generous
son of Albion. The refreshments
were repeated, and the two imbibers
engaged for some time in q friendly
conversation, which was carried on
by the Briton in broken French and
by the Gaul in mutilated English.
Then the Frenchman took his leave
and walked quickly away in the
direction Of the Boulevard St.
Michel. The alleged Englishman,
who had remained behind to arrange
with the waiter about the tariff for
the final round of refreshments, was
suddenly observed to pull his hands
out Of his pockets with a despair
ing look and to make a rush to the
door, knocking over chairs and
tables in his preciptate progress.
When in the street he shouted out
"Stop theft" in as good French as
lie could muster, and the hue and
cry was quickly proclaimed. Po-
licemen, walters, small boys and
.Hdme1rS took up the chase, and the
elegantly attired and quickly re-
treating Gaul was captured near the
Cluny Museum after a most excit-
ing run. The two quondam ac-
quaintances became so violent to-
wards each other that both were
marched off to the station, where 0
turning out of pockets took place
in the usual manner. 1t was then
discovered that the Briton had ad.
roitly possessed himself, while il
the cafe, of the Gaul's purse, while
the latter had practiced the same
operation on the foreigner Paris

A PAUPER'S DYING REQUEST.

An amusing and yet pathetic in
cident in what the poet Gray called
the short and simple annals of
the poor" is told by Mr.. John j. R.
Micklejohn, one of the Inspectors
of the Poor, at Sherwick, Shetland
Islands. He says that some time
ago an old woman, named Barbara
Smith, came under the notice of the
Board. She was extremely i'll, and
it did not look likely that she would
long need care of any kind. She
did not reside ON the main land, but
on small island few miles distant
and there being no parochial institu-
tions in that place, Barbara neces-
sarily occupied the position of a
pauper living out. The trouble
from which she suffered dated back
many years. In better and more
prosperous days she had in some
way laid the foundation for Chronic
Indigestion and Dyspepsia, and out
of this had sprung other complaints
as age and bodily infirmities crept
apace upon her.
Barbara was not ignorant, albeit
she had fallen into poverty. In ear
lier life she somehow obtained the
advantage of fair education, and
this, added to native shrewdness,
enabled her to use good judgment in
respect to her own situation and
state of health. Although she had
long suffered from asthma and n
bronchial affection, Barbara was
wise enough TO see that these all
ments arose from the disordered
stomach and digestion, and that if
the main trouble could be cured the
others would soon leave her. 1t is
probable that her disease began as
others do, with the usual symptoms
headaches, bad breath, the rising OF
sour fluids in the throat, oppression
and falntness at the pit of the stom'
ach, loss of sleep, coated tongue
dull eyes, bad taste in the mouth
&C., and finally became chronic ant
hopeless through her not being able
to find any remedy. The Inspector
states that she had been under med
ical treatment for years, but to NJ
effect. In this strait she one day
made the following touching appea

EXTREMELY EXCITING.
How minneapolis Beat Des Moines
Yesterday Afternoon.

Minneapolis and Des Moines had a
very pretty game yesterday, the locals
finally winning in the last inning, beat
ing both the visitors and umpire. Mr..
Power seemed to ''have it in" for Min
neapolis,f for some reason, and especially
for Winkleman, calling him out on strikes
once, and always giving him the worst
of balls and strikes. Winkleman
and Cushman were the opposing pitch
erS and each put up strong game, with
about equal results. Up to the eighth
inning, Des MOineS had hit Winkleman
but twice, one being after two chances
had been given to retire the side. In
the eighth alone they succeeded in hit
ting him at all. Minneapolis got the
first man across the rubber in the sec

and was sent to third on a
wild throw by Stearns, scoring on
McCullom's sacrifice. In the fourth inn
ing Brosnan struck the third time at
wild pitch and got to second, scoring OH
third on Tebeau's out and scored on
wild pitch. Up to the ninth, though
several hits were made, no one sue
ceeded in getting around. Des Moines
got its first run in the third. Van Dyke
made hit, Tratfley got first on Walsh's
tumble, and Cushman popped a safe
one over third, filling the bases, with
none out. Holidays base on balls
forced Van Dyke over the plate, and
then, with the bases full and no one
out, three men in succession were
thrown out at the plate. In the seventh,
with two men out, Cushman hit to Tebeau
who threw poorly to Halves. Halliday
also hit to TeDeau, who repeated his
performance OninOtS linar for fuxo

Over One Hundred of Them Gath
cred at Pullman for the Re-
gatta, Which Takes Place To-
Day.
CHICAGO, July 12.-Over 100 amateur
scullers from all parts of the West are
already at hand to participate in the an
nual regatta of the Mississippi Valley
Rowing association, which begins
tomorrow at Pullman. A very choppy
sea on the lake to-day prevented much
practicing, but those who did exercise
showed up in good form under adverse
conditions. Most of the races will be
holly contested events, and there are
very few who are able to name MANY
winners. 1t is conceded that the Junior
singles lies between Brown, of Phil
adelphia, and Wheeler, of the Lur-
line club, of Minneapolis. The Junior
doubles will be walk over for the lat
ter club, but the junior pair is regarded
as an open contest. There are three
clubs entered: The Sylvan, of Moline,
ILL.,; Iroquois, of Chicago, and the
Modoc, of st. Louis. 1t is going
to be a great betting race. The
junior four-oared race seems to rest
between the Unions, of Chicago: the
Wichita, Kan. Muchmore is the favor
tie in the senior singles, but Brown will
see to it that he does some fast work.
Kilby is also regarded as dangerous
man. The senior double scull will be the
race of the regatta. The contest will be
between the Delawares, of Chicago; the
Lurlines, of Minneapolis, and the OF
tumwa Oarsmen. The former seems to
have little the best of it. In the senior
pairs Malcolm and Gestrich,
of the Modoc club of st. Louis,
should be the victors. Nobody
has been able to pick the winner in the
senior four-oared she'll race, as the six
crews are evenly matched. The gig
race has been divided, and it looks like
a 'go-as-yOu-please." The barge race
has been set for the second day, and
will be three-quarters of mile straight
away. The other races will be mile
and half, with turn.
