BELFAST, n. Y, July John l.. Sulli-
van having postponed his departure for
Rochester until this afternoon, he devoted
the forenoon TO his usual work. AS the
weather was cloudy the exercises were
confined to indoor work. For fifteen min
utes Sullivan put the heavy ball and then
hammered at a heavy rawhide bag for
three quarters of an hour. .If he lands
one of thJse IN the first round" said Mul-
doom to a reporter, as with his old swing
ing right hand blow Sullivan sent the ball
whizzing TO the planking. ''about five
thousand people will leave the ring side
disgusted at the brevity of the contest"
Apparently not quite tired after his
hours labor, John seized skip rope and
with light step skipped 200 consecutive
times without miss. Muldoon then
threw a huge blanket over his charge and
led him TO a couch where he lay for a min
ute perspiring freely.
TELL my friends about this" said John
10 the reporter, $50 they can refute the
statements that my legs are gone" A rub
bing down and q succession of shower
baths concluded the mornings work and
tor the journey then began.

Women for Pastors.

AT the regular weekly meeting of
Congregational ministers last week
IN Chicago, a paper was read by
Rev. Clayton Welles, on the subject
"Shall women be ordained as Pas
tors for Congregational churches
Rev. Welles took advanced ground
in favor of admitting women as pas
tors. When the needs of the church
seemed adapted to such ministry as
women can furnish. The report of
the meeting says, all the ministers
present participated in the discus
sion which followed the reading Of
the paper, and most of them coinci-
ded with its conclusions. This ac
ton of the ministers, seems a little
unusual for a conservative denomi-
nation, it exhibits justihable indie
pendence in giving it hearing. No
particular significance will be given
to the opinions of these ministers.
because they will be understood as
voicing only a limited number of
the denomination. IS

The Constitution-makers of Wyo-
ming have about concluded to let
women vote. This may be all right
now, because there are so few women
out there that they can't get away
from bread-making and stocking
darnipg to- take advantage of the
privilege accorded them; but when
Wyoming becomes old enough to
have Belva Lockwoods of her own
and disappointed spinsters in un-
broken dozens at every other step,
then the men who are unfortunate
enough to have to live out there will
devote several hours each per day to
swearing at the men who made the
law. However, it will be too late
then.

The principal feature of the appli-
cation Of the Chinese exclusion law
in San Francisco is that it doesn' t
exclude. The importations of China
men are increasing largely, and the
willy Mongolians easily find way
whereby to evade the law. Women
are smuggled in on habeas- corpus
suits as the wives of merchants. AS
soon as they are safely landed they
are sold into disreputable slavery by
their own parents, San Fran cisco
Chinaman acting as negotiator. A
regular slave traffic of this vile kind
is growing up in San Francisco and
the authorities seem powerless to
stop it. The Chinese must go, of
course; but they don't do anything
of the sort.

A MAN up at St. Charles, Mimi,
has been sleeping the better part of
twelve years. He has already dis
tanced the seven sleepers so far that
it is not probable that they will make
any further bids for notoriety, and
now he is getting in his fine work
on the record of Rip Van Wrinkle.
But he seems to be weakening, and
it is probable that he will not be able
to deprive us of our cherished Rip.
In this analytical age, when we are
told that George Washington did
tell lies and that it was not an apple
that Eve ate, it would be too severe
blow upon our cherished ideas to
learn that Rip wasn't much of a
sleeper.

Doc fighting, fox hunting and
prize fighting in Wisconsin cities
and villages is destined to be very
unpopular. Governor Hoard swings
his right arm and sweeps out per-
nicious prize fighting. All honor to
him for that. Through the watch

of the human society, dog fighting
has been suppressed in Milwaukee,

W1LKIE COLLINS, the novelist, is
dead, after an active literary career
extending over forty years. In lit
erature his field was the highly i'm
aginative in the realm of the super
natural, wierd and unreal. His sto-
ries dealt with superstition, ghostly
terror, and nameless dread, and
though in the highest sense this line
of writing was far from admirable,
yet he possessed such power of de-
lineation and clevefness of invention
that his books became world famous.
His tales were mostly of the sort to
make timid persons afraid in the
dark, but they were interesting
even to the point of fascination and
unclaimed the attention of readers
even though they left in the mind no
beneficial impress such as is derived
from and of Dickens works. Where
as, Dickens wrote to benefit as we'll
as to interest his readers by awaken
ing in them every humane and gen
erous and kindly impulse, Wilkie
Collins wrote only to weave about
reading public a net of fascinating
nothingness, of which his "Woman
in White" "Armadale," and "The
Moonstone" are perhaps the best ex-
amples. The cause of literature can
not be said to have been greatly adj
vanced by Wilkie Collins works.

CONSIDERABLE interest attaches to
the question whether the Bible is to
be adjudged a sectarian book, and
therefore excluded from the public
schools. A case involving this ques-
ton was some time ago taken to the
Supreme Court from Edgerton, in
this state, and an opinion of the
court before this was expected, but
it is now said it will not be reached
before the latter part of November
next. The Catholic Citizen, pub
lished in Milwaukee, expresses the
odinion that the court will rule that
the reading of the scriptures in pub
lie schools will be declared sectarian
instruction. If, however, the court
does not so determine, then the mat
ter will be taken to the next legisla-
ture and that body asked to pass a
law prohibiting Bible reading in the
public schools. We predict it will
be long time before Wisconsin
legislature will interfere in religious
matters. All Christian religions, OF
whatever name, recognize the Bible
as their basis. instruction in the
creed of any particular church, Pro.
testant, Catholic or any other de-
nomination of religionists would not
be admissible in the public schools
Teachers in the school are required
to have certificates of good mora,
character; the Bible furnishes the
standard for such character.

A CABLE dispatch says that re-
ports from the Rhine wine growing
districts indicate the best vintage of
the century. Now, here is some
thing for down-trodden people to
rejoice in. Coal may, owing to the
strikes, have assembled to a figure
that makes one dizzy to contem-
plate. Wooden goods may have
climbed above the Underline and
staid there. And sugar may be
frosting the glistening summit of
some lone mountain peak. But the
reflection is cheering that after a
prolonged study of a scale of prices
for the ordinary commodities Of life
higher than the Eiffel tower one can
always turn to Rhine wine and be
sure of getting something cheap and
flling-something which will at least
be within the reach of a moderate
purse, and which, if pursued ardent
ly enough, will in time do away with
the necessity for coal, and sugar, and
ice, and wool.

OVER 500 talesmen have been ex-
amined in the Cronin case and four
jurors secured. Three weeks have
been consumed in the matter. By a
simple arithmetical process you may
figure it out that about nine weeks
will be taken up in getting a jury,
and that something over 1900 tales
men will be ground through the
examination mill in that time. This
information is valuable to busy men,
for they may now go to sleep for
another six weeks without missing
anything.

OHIO Democrats believe in having
their fun in hunks. They had a
State convention at Dayton the 9TH
er day, but stopped work long
enough to attend a seventy-fve
round fight. Then they went back
and finished making candidates. If
this scheme tends to relieve the dele
gates and keep them from fighting
in convention it ought to be gener-
ally adopted.

But he was an honest and incor-

War With China Foretold Is.

w al w I'LL SlllIld OICIOlQ.
In the Methodist ministers meet
ing in Chicago last week, Bishop
Fowler said: "Ten years from now
America will be at war with China"
This may appear an absurd declara-
ton and altogether visionary, but af-
ter hearing Bishop Fowler's reasons
| fo1 such statement, the occurrence
of war. although by no means de-
sired by this country, may be forced
on the United States The Bishop
has Just returned from travel
around the world, and during his
absence made observations in the
Chinese Empire That phrase
which has been so much and so of
fensively used in this country, "the
Chinese must CO." is familiar
throughout China among all classes,
and is regarded as a gross insult to
The nation The Chinese look upon
the expulsion and forcible ejectment
of their people by the authority of
law an indignity which cannot be
atoned by repeal Of the obnoxious
statutes; it must be acknowledged a
wrong without reasonable excuse.
The Bishop was reminded by Chin
csc officials that he was permitted to
land without any papers and travel
where he pleased: why should such
privilege be refused to Chinese in
America? Some not we'll informed
persons may laugh at the idea of
China being formidable competitor
in war, but the Bishop dispels the
illusion of the weakness of China;
the empire is making rapid progress
in all the material interests that tend
to make nation strong. "Ten
years." says the Bishop, twill put
China's immense interior in shape,
and then will inquiries be made into
that dastardly treaty and our govern
ment be called upon to explains its
conduct The army and navy is
becoming disciplined; great guns
and great ironclads are being con-
structed, and all the modern NUM-
tons of war are preparing. "Ten
years from now" says Bishop Fow-
Ter, "they will be ready to inquire in
to our conduct, and when a country
with one-third the population of the
world at its back strikes, it will be no
mean affair.""
1t will be no difficult matter for
China to make out case against the
government of this country. It is
not very long since settlement of
Chinese laborers on the Pacific side
was attacked, its inhabitants forcibly
elected, and their homes destroyed.
Many like instances of expulsion of
peaceable Chinese in various parts of
the country have occurred, 1t will
be said in excuse, these Chinese
were in this country contrary to law.
But the reason will be demanded
why this discrimination against the
Chinese alone. and no other civilized
nation? The chief reason that can
be given is that the Chinese can
work cheaper, because they manage
to live cheaper, and therefore are
unwelcome competitors of the labor
ing classes in this country. There
are two sides to the question of
Chinese expulsion: If we mistake not
the Christian sentiment of this coun-
try regarded the law excluding the
Chinese as unjust. They are not an
lmbecile race; some of the finest
specimens of art brought to this
country are from China. It is hoped
that before the lapse of ten years, as
spoken of by Bishop Fowler, a salts
factory adjustment will be reached

has become an almost settled fact that the
Fort Worth and Rio Grande is to be built
through the southern part of the county,
within few miles of the Central and
will be of little benefit to the county,
which contains an area of 1O40 square
miles. Cotton, wheat, oats, corn and
cattle and coal are products of a vast re-
gion of country not traversed by any
railroad, and the country is filing up so
rapidly that these products cannot be
handled without some means to get them
to market. The population of Erath
county is now estimated at 81 900, and
it Is receiving accessions every year from
the old states. Outside of the
coal fields there will be enough local
traffic to make the new road q paying in
vestment. If built to Morgan, and that
is the point settled upon, it viii give
citizens Of Stephenville good route to
the Fort, and your wholesale men will
increase their trade with this section of
Texas. Waco and Galveston will also
come in for a fair division of trade, for
the new road will make connection with
both the Santa Fe and the Central.
The postofice at StephenvilIe issued
2102 postal orders during 1888, amount
ing to about $1,000 per week during the
entire year. The amount issued during
the weekly statement just closed was
S3878 rs, including postal notes.

purchasing material needed in complet-
ing the edifice.
Sherwood s. Rohrer have very

There VIII be a grand concert at Huff
mans hall Friday night, given by the
Ladies' aid society of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church. The best musical
talent of the city, as well as the best
elocutionists, will contribute their SER
vices to make it one of the rarest enter
tainments Of the season. If you spend
any money for enjoyment you should
patronize this, for it will be first-class
and the money viii go to furnish the new
church, instead of to some company that
has no interest in your city. 1t is for an
enterprise that should appeal to every
citizen of Fort Worth. The programme
viii be published tomorrow morning.
Tickets can be procured at the drug store
of Threlkeld & Lyme.
Those who were at the opera house
Monday night remember that CaIlotta i'll
the last act informed the orchestra that
she would thank them to stop playing that
she would dance without music. The
episode created something of a sensation
al the time and has been the subject of
comment since. 1t seems some mistake
was made, as the following note
from Carlotta to THE GAZETTE viii show:
IL justice to Prof. Singer apologize to
him for the mistake of last night; it was
due simply to misrepresentation and not
to any negligence on his part
[Signedl CARLoTTA,
Cold Day Company.
The orchestra felt that Carlotta had re-
flected on their ability as musicians.
When the huge tank on rhe stage at the
opera house was being filed from the
waterworks yesterday the manager stood
by and as the clear, sparkling water came
through the hose from one of the
fire bydrantS he remarked: ''That 5
the finest water have seen in this ceun-
try. What kind OF water works have
you got? - He was told that il came
from gang wells at the bottom OF the
river and ut that very moment the Trinity
was flowing above these wells fifteen
feet deep dirty muddy stream. Verify
since the city of Fort Worth has taken
the water supply Isl its own hands, and
has put IN the gang wells, no city in
Texas Is SO well supplied. It would be a
bereelean task to convince this people
that any company could do better than
the city is doing.
