THE PASTORS AND THE STAGE.
The Position OF the Memphis Clergy
Clearly Stated.

The Position of the Memphis Clergy
Clearly Stated.
At meeting OF the Pastors Association
of Memphis, yesterday morning, the fol-
lowing resolution was passed unanimously
and ordered published in The MEMPHIS
APPEAL.
Whereas The recent discussion OF the
position OF three Memphis pastors toward
the theater and its demoralizing influences,
renders this proper time for the Pastors
Association to speak out on that subject;
therefore,
Resolved, That respecting the stage as a
whole, Il minister cannot afford 10 indorse
it. So far as we can learn, the effort to
reform or purify the institution, as such,
has failed, and ii is notorious that, with
comparatively few exceptions, those plays
which do not pander to immodesty in
dress, speech and suggestion are not sue
cessful. The institution is, as now exist
ent, the full efllorescence OF that world be-
tween which and the Church Jesus Christ
declares inherent incompatibility. We
are furthermore constrained to declare
that in our judgment, attendance upon
the theater is deleterious to personal piety.
We also deem il proper to state publicly
that the course OF the Memphis Aualdnche
in reference TO this matter calls for the
most emphatic condemnation Of Christian
people, us characterized by constant mis-
representation, and as highly inimical to
the general cause OF religion.

churches than the First Presbyterian.
Earnest, spiritual and conservative, 1t has
built body Of Christians that exert an
influence for good that will tell in the fut-
ure history OF the CITY, Last Sunday
morning, after service, the congregation,
in few minutes, subscribed an amount
sufficient to insure complete payment for
the new organ. This is the finishing
touch to long series Of efforts incident to
the burning OF the church and all its fur
niture, including the organ, few years
ago.
At no period in the history of Memphis
have the pastors Of the Protestant
Churches been able to make such encour-
aging reports of their work as they made
last Monday at the Pastors Association.
All the churches seem to be revived, and
are growing in influence and numbers

In Iindostan great focks Of duck con-
gregate at certain seasons upon the river
Gauges. the sacred river of the East. The
native has no knowledge of guns or gum
ming. he is too poor; but his poverty does
not interfere with his appreciative desire
for duck meat. so he sets his cunning
against the ducks natural instinct, and al
WAYS comes out ahead. At this season of the
year any number of calapashes or gOurds
come swimming down the broad river
and float UNDECIDED through the groups of
ducks, who are almost too lazy and well
fed to move for them. The native takes a
calapash that is about two feet in diane
ter, cuts il in half. hollows it out, cuts
little hole in one side Of it, and attaching
cords 90 il ties it on his shoulders with the
whole before his eyes. Having no clothes
on save girdle round his waist, lie lowers
himself into the water and quietly paddles
into the centre of the ducks. who take no
notice of the calapash. As ne floats through
them the native catches duck by the leg,
pulls it under the water, twists its neck,
and fastcns il TO his girdle. Duck after
duck is treated in the same way, no noise
is made, no alarm given. and when his gir-
die is filed the native swims ashore, emp
ties his load, and if he requires more starts
in again.
In Belgium a novel method is employed.
In that country are large tracts OF marsh
land. and many pools, and to these the
ducks come at night to feed, flying over az
the same hours night and morning, and
almost to a yard in the same direction.
The places are thickly fringed with sedge
and reed growth. often standing eight feet
high. The hunters choose place right IN
the track on which the ducks travel TO and
fro. and if there is q thick patch or
reeds they cut lane about twenty feet
deep by ten feet wide; if there - no
sedee. or it is not thick enough, they
make one. artificially, early in the sea-
son. In this, when night comes, they place
a lone. narrow table made of rough planks
and standing about two feet high. On this.
az the end farthest from the opening, 10
placed large, shallow copper pan, polished
until IL shines like red gold This is placed
on its edge, and in front Of 1t IS placed
shallow tin dish about one foot IN clrcum-
ference filed with melted fat, fish-oil, and
a little beeswax. This is lighted by means
~ ride wicks run through floating discs OF
tin about an inch broad, and is diligently
stirred by c boy. As IL Is stirred the
flame leaps and falls, flashing upon
the polished surface OF the pan, and
reflected thence in squirting tongues and
fashes far out beyond the fringe OF reeds
into the darkness of the night. Other men
have gone O mile or more around and
scared no the ducks feeding an the pools.
They see the flashing flame, and unable to
resist the attraction, hy down to It and are
shot by the hunters, who stand near the
flame but with their backs TO 1t. In the

Controversy Over Electric Wires.

NEw YORK, October 12.-Mayor Grant
this morning called q meeting of the Board
of Electrical Control. and as soon as it was
assembled a resolution was adopted order
inc the immediate removal Of the electric
wires that were not properly insulated.
Before this work could be begun a tempo
rary Injunction was served on the Mayor
restraining him from interfering with the
wires of either the United States Illumina-
ting Company or the Brush Elecric-Light
Company. Under this order the work Of
removing the wires will be delayed until
Monday. An interview with Edison is
printed this evening in which he says no
insulation will make an elcctric-light wire
safe, and that subways and insulation will
alike prove ineffective, and that the only
way TO prevent loss Of life is to regulate the
pressure the same rs the pressure of steam
boilers IS regulated

of open arches placed over an artlilcially-
made stream running from lake To which
the ducks were decOyed. Gradually the
arches grew close. A. the stream curved
round slightly. screens were placed by the
arch sides, from behind which hemp-seed
was thrown. and the ducks. led by the

TBy telegraph 70 the Dispatch.I


WuMrNGToy. DEL, October s2.-The
south-bound Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore freight train dropped an
iron door on the tracks between Charles
ton and Northeast, Md. which derailed
the passenger train about 9:45 o'clock this
morning. The train was partly wrecked.
Nobody was killed, but fifteen persons
were hurt. FIVE of them seriously. Three
of these FIVE were passengers The other
two were the engineer and Pullman con-
ductor. The injuries of the others con-
sisted principally from cuts of broken glass
and bruises.
The wrecked train was the express which
left Washington at $40 4. NJ. and was due
at Philadelphia at 1l:20, 1t consisted OF
four coaches. parlor-car, and bufet-c9r.
The engine fell on its side and tore up the
road-bed for 200 feet, finally running on the
bank on its side. The smoking and Pull
man-car turned over on their sides on the
south-bound track. The other three cars
remained upright, but the trucks are gone
from two Pullmans. The conductor died
tonight from conclusion of the brain.

Kansas CRY, October PA special TO
the Times from ST. Joseph Mo says; For
the past week MIR. and Mrs. Richard ).
Ambrose have been missing, but their alb
scnce attracted no particular attention IN
iii Thurday, when Ambrose's hali-brother,
bv whom helatter was employed, attempt
ed to find him. Upon entering the rooms
ia the tenement where Ambrose and wife
lived a horrible spectacle was presented
Mrs. Ambrose lay dead on straw pallet
ON the floor. In the corner Of the room lay
tho husband in the last stages OF de17nm
frcmens. The body of the woman was turn
cd over to the Coroner and Ambrose was
taken to the hospital The physicians say

Mr.. and Mrs. Ambrose were in the habit OF
Getting drunk for ten days at time about
every two months. They would lock them
selves up in their rooms and admit no one.
During these debGuches they never quar-

OF each other. 4 cOrOner's Jury brought IN
n verdict that Mrs. Ambrose died OF alco-
hOlism and starvation.
