they grow desperate, and resort to the

Gently been introduced. These ivory

Not only are we likely to Judge a
man by his looks, but it is often fair
for US to do so; for man is in a large
measure responsible for his personal
appearance. A mans character
shapes his outer being: and his life
and thoughts are all the time impress
ing themselves on his countenance,
and evidencing themselves in his bear
ing.

Religious Work at the Taberhacie'

Twice day through last week rell-
gious services were held ut the Taber-
nable. Rev. l.. l.. Pickett of Texas
has been the principal speaker, Bro.
Oliver is punctually at his post labor
ing and praying for the salvatlons OF
souls, other workers are cooperating
with the leaders in the meeting as
they are able and inclined.
The meeting has been held under
some disadvantages. Meetings i'll two
or three of the city churches extended
over five or six of the preceding eight
weeks; the "gala" week in Charleston
and the preparations for the fair in Col
umbia this week and the pressing du-
ties of the Methodist pastors and their
people in "winding up" for Conference
next week in Camden have combined
to diminish attendance at the meet
ings. Whether the meeting be contin-
ued through the fair week or not we
hope to witness, sooner or later, Gods
gracious acceptance and signal endorse
ment of the liberality and zeal of Rev.
r. c. Oliver, in building this house for
the Lord and opening its doors for "all
people" to come in and wait on the
Lord that here they may obtain mercy
and find grace to help in time of need.
May the God of all grace establisE
the work of the hands Of his servant.

a knowledge of a secret "leak." Read.
ing the appointments will leave all
concerned to know or infer something
of what has been thought and said out
of their hearing. (Some times it may
t,e we'll for preacher to know some
thing of what was said Of him in the
Council and some times may be not
and some times it might be wellfor the
Bishop and his Council to hear some
things said of them and some times
may be not).
It takes heap of Christian-"think'
eth no evir'-religion to go round ano
maintain "thc unity of the Spirit IL

the amount Of religion needed and
never miss it.
Before motion to adjourn is Offered
let this question be submitted 70 ht
thought on before we meet again: l.
the appointments as read out by the
Bishop was certainly foreknown O
God, could they have Teen different

of conclusion be predicated of contin

doings of all Annual Conference, III
Guiding the actions of the Bishop anc

was it not impossible for those dolng'

tive Mansion and at the reviewing stand
beggar description. A surging mass of
humanity covered the sidewalk on either
side of the street. Every window in
every hotel, store and residence on both
sides of the wide thoroughfare was
crowded with people, and on the scores
of stands erected at street corners and
little parks along the route, thousands of
people stood sheltering themselves with
seemingly acres of umbrellas from the
peltering rain and cheering themselves
hoarse as the presidential party and par
ticularly brilliantly caparisned horsemen
or splendidly uniformed military and
civic organizations passed by. The
march from the capitol to the White
House was one continual
OVATION TO THE NEW PRESIDENT
and it is safe to say that quarter of a
million people watched and waited and
cheered him as he passed along. At
Fifteenth street the procession was
halted, and the carriages containing the
president and vice president made a de-
tour through the treasury grounds and
then
TO THE EXECUTIVE MANSION.
A light lunch was waiting the presiden-
tial party In the private dining room.
Among those who sat down besides the
president and vice president, were Mr..
Cleveland, Mrs. Harrison, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mckee, Mr.. and Mrs. Russell Harrison,
Mrs. Saunders and several others. The
party were at luncheon only 10 minutes.
After bidding Mr.. Cleveland good bye,
the president, leaning ON the arm at his
SON Russell, proceeded to the reviewing
stand in front Of the mansion,
accompanied by the vice-president, the
congressional committee, and the sur
vivors of the Seventeen Indiana regi.
ment. As the president stepped on the
stand, cheer after cheer arose from the
multitude and the former responded by
tipping his hat The word to march was
again sounded and Benjamin Harrison
watched the great retinue of soldiery
and citizens that had followed him from
the capitol to the Executive Mansion
file past the reviewing stand for nearly
four hours. During this time he re-
NAMED standing and took off his hat al
each and every color bearer in passing

WASHINGTON. March 5.-The climax
Of the great events of the day was the
grand bali at the pension building. In
all its conditions it was the most i'm
pressive social gathering in the history
OF this. or perhaps any other country.
The colossal grandeur Of the apartment.
the bewildering beauty of the decora-
tions, the blazing brilliancy of the illu-
mination, and the enormous throngs Of
superbiy dressed men and women, made
a scene that in turn delighted, dazzled
and entranced the beholder. The PEN
sion building court, with its acre of
dancing floor, was beautifully garlanded
with flags and flowers. In the center
stood a two story Japanese pagoda. The
lower part of the structure was groto
built of rocks and firms. The first floor
was occupied by the Germania orchestra
of 100 Philadelphia performers, who
played the dance music. Above them,
ON the second floor, the marine band was
stationed. Under the direction of Band
master Sousa it furnished the music for
the promenaders. The unique structure
was ablaze with lights and parti-colored
streamers, and on it's top, in letters of
fire. was the word, CONSTITUTION. The
eight great central pillars of the court
were entwined with laurels and bunting.
The surface fronts of the galleries were
festooned with the national colors, and
in the spaces between were placed alter
nately silver plated armor, mounted in
plush, and the coat of arms of all the
states and nations. Carved eagles, trim
med with flags, surmounted the coat of
arms. The face of the galleries and the
seventy-six supporting Corinthean coll
umns were decorated with great gar
lands of laurel. Suspended from the
gallery were a series of panels, five feet
by ten, each made of flowers and each
symboIizing department of the govern
ment. The navy was indicated by man
of war, the interior by
LOG CABIN AND NEWLY FELLED TREE;

HOUSE.
The morning session of the house was
given up to the introduction of bills,
thirty-fise in all being offered for con-
sideration.
At the request OF q number of temper
ance people MIR. II. G. Stevens presented
q bill which is designed TO enforce the
liquor laws. 1t provides that any one
found selling or giving away liquor in
any pTchiestosy se-lit0fy of the state
may be puRisAest ior the first offense
with both fine OF from SIe0 to $500 and
imprisonment fof thirty days, together
with costs OF prosecution, The second
offense may be punished BY both fine of
from $500 to 5000 and imprisonment
from one year to Ave years, with costs.
The burden of proof rests with the ac-
cused, who must show that any liquor
found in his possession is not to be sold
or given away.
Mr.. Hoyt introduced bill applying to
endowment insurance companies. 1t
makes it harder to organize the compan-
les, making it necessary for them to have
at least $50 applicants for insurance ag-
gregating 500, 900, of which at least per
cent. must be paid in for mortuary pur-
poses.
The afternoon session was devoted to
the passage of bills on the calendar, of
which there were thirty-eight. About
half of them were disposed of without
debate.
When the Sevatson interest bill was
reached on the calendar, Mr.. Hanke was
ready with several amendments. Mr..
III, f. Stevens had some others, which,
if Incorporated into the bill, would allow
persons TO charge per cent. commission
In addition to the regular interest. 1t
makes it penal oifcnse to charge more
than this. Referred to Mr. Sevatson and
Stevens.
The following were among the senate
bills passed:
To amend the seed grain law.
Authorizing each township in Polk
county to support its own poor.
The house tiles that We're passed were
as follows:
To incorporate the city of Tower.
To amend general statutes in relation
to register of deeds.
