to retire with her attendant maidens, to
unfasten her garter and keep it as

a dispute about it, custom requiring
that the groom should resist the at

sist upon his privilege. With the growth
of more refined manners the custom nat

Roads and Civilization.
Weatherford Constitution

''All roads lead 10 Rome, - was the
pride and boast of the Caezars, and every
Roman citizen was educated to esteem
grand national thOroughfares and Appian
ways, the best evidences CT advancing
civilization and the chief glory of the
mistress of the world There were no
railroads in those days, but the Romans
knew how to build good roads and bridges
for the chariOts of conquerers and the
less costly wheels of the peasantry; and
not only Italy, but the neighbOring ma
tions that paid homage and tribute to
the imperial eagles, responded with
patriotic zeal ard heroic aacrity to
every decree for the opening of new roads
and the construction of new bridges
Nor did they build temporary structures,
as We Americans do, or go wandering
about the country to 1engthen their high
WAYS for subsidies and bonuses, but their
courses were set for Rome as the hub of
the universe. Hence Rome, though not
built in a day, attracted the commerce
of the nations, oveTshadOwed all rival
cities and filed the world with her
wealth, her splendOr and her power.
Rome persisted, but many of her road
ways still bear the imprint of her genius >,
culture and high civilization of the
C3sarian period. and furnish example
for all nations and people who aspire to
build wisely, grow great and reach the
ideal civilization.
To jump from the palaces of the
Caesars to the homes OF Weathertord
and from the Appian Way to the roads
of Parker county, is no great feat Of
rhetorical agility, but it brings US face to
face with practical and very important
question. We want good roads and good
bridges in Parker county, aud what 5
more, we want more and better roads
leading to Rome, - i. e.. regulation
roads and iron bridges leading TO the
capital of the county-the people 5
home town and the pride OF every
right thinking citizen. Weather
ford is in one sense the property ana
the home of the people OF Parker county,
and must remain so for the lifetime of
the state. The prosperity of the country
and the prosperity of the town must
come from a common source, and q com
mon bond of sympathy and helpfuluess
should link them together indissolubIy,
and in such gentle and reciprocal affec-
ton as to make the growth aud happi-
ness OF the one depend on the other. 1t
Is economy and wisdom to build good
roads and bridges and let posterity help
pay the debt

DR.. Buckley and the scientists"


The current number of the Christian
Advocate contains an able article from
the pen of its illustrious editor, Dr..
Buckley, on the immOralities of the de-
fusion called "Christian Science. He
cites the case of Mrs. Plunkett, a promi-
nent leader land probable successor of
Mrs. Mary B. Eddy, - who has Esprit
ually divorced herself from her husband
and spiritually married Worthington,
alias Ward, enc, the hero OF half
dozen bigamies and the most
uumitigated scOundrel that Amer
lea could produce, and shows that
the tendency OF the new craze is in the
direction of immortality. He says: 1--WE
would by no means affirm that all who
believe in Christian Science are immoral,
but that II is closely allied TO the doctrine
of aflnities liable to promote Illicit at
tachments, and that it has already de-
stroyed the peace of many families by
intimacies which have arisen between fe-
male scientists and male patients, and
the reverse, we know and therefore I'M
hesitatingly affirm. This system of
treatment requires privacy for its most
successful operation, and makes use of
a peculiar personal influence of the ply
stefan over the patient. 1t is, therefore
peculiarly adapted to be both cover for
and Stimulator of unhOly alliances. It's
doctrine OF sin is perilOusly near, in many
cases quite reaching the denial of the
reality of it. The spiritual medium so
often figuring in divorce cases and sepa-
rations and the free lover were not
more dangerous than some of the prac-
tltiouers of Christian Science. -
These are strong assertions; but they
are as wholesome 5 thew are vigorous,
and their utterauce Is rendered neces-
sary by the growth of the soul-sIaying
sham called Christian Science Bias
phemy and immortality are rampant in
this new delusion, and while all who
profess to believe in it are not immoral,
it is unQHestionably what DR. Buckley
calls "a stimulator of unholy alliances, -
as we'll as the fruitful cause of insanity
and death. It is difficult to trace the
ctffrents and, cross currents of human
thought and emotion, even in ordinary
matters, but mere perplexing still to lind
men and women OF intelligence and edu-
cation fiinging their very lives away for
such miserable ignis fatuus as this.
The craze cannot last for any great
length Of time, but while it is here, there
should be no hesitation on the part Of
pTrss or pulpit TO denounce its falIacies
and expose its rottenneSs with the cour-
age and vlgor shown by Dr.. Buckley.

They are, however, nothing of the sort,

The Chinese slave traffic is a growing

hundred dollars on the promise that they
will be brought here and married. On
their arrival they pass through the habeas

Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Sept. %. A re-
markable death was that of Mrs. Clara
Tournot, wife of Il Tournot an old citi-
zen of this county, and formerly county
commissioner. Mrs Tournot was last seen
alive at 80 p. N. Saturday walking IN a
westerly direction from her house, six
miles northwest of this city. Her body
was found floating in q tank a quarter of
a mile east of her house this morning
The only marks upon the body were
slight cuts or scratches about each eve,
on the nose, lips and chin.
Her absence from her home was
discovered at shutdown Saturday night
and close search failed in its
purpose OF finding the body until
o clock this morning. Her apparel was
not disturbed. Her rings, necklace with
lOcket, even her mits were on as she
wore them when she was last seen, but
her bonnet has not been found. The
tank or pond is from two to four feet
deep and is about one hundred by two
hundred yards III area. The bottom Is
soft mud, incapable of scratching her
face as it was scratched and the bon
not was calico one, stiffened
by light wooden sticks so that 1t would
have fioated if she had had it on when
thrown or going into the pond. The
ranch is quite large one and has been
searched to-day for the missing bonnet
without avail. She could not nave left
the ranch and returned and it seems i'm
possible that she should have committed
suicide as her family relations
have been of the most pleasant nature.
Still no stranger has been seen in the
neighborhood of the tragedy, and it
seems equally impossible that she should
have been murdered without the atten-
tention of some of the Tanchmen having
been attracted. The coroner has not yet
completed the inquest, but said tonight
that he was unable to express any opin-
ion in the matter.

Yesterday was proud day for Rev. J.

congregation, who have iabored so hard
and contributed so generously OF their
means to.provide a temple of worship
dedicated to the living God in which
they might assemble from Sunday to
sunday MOI only is the magnificent
church credit TO the membership, but
il is q grand ornament and an honor to
the city.
At lO:3O the people began to assemble
at the church, the stream of ladies and
Gentlemen constantly increasing until by
loo clock the eGiiice was crowded, every
available seat being occupied in the audi
tOrium, in the gallery and in the
sunday school room, and then
QUITE a number had to stand :. About the
pulpit were beautiful flowers, while trop-
ical plants were arranged about the room
in a tasteful manner.
The grand organ pealed forth q volun-
taTy executed by Professor Hall and the
tones of the mighty instrument filed
every nook and corner with sweetest
melody.
When the time for the sermon came.
Rev. Mr. Wells stepped to the pull
pit, and for forty-five minutes
preached as probably no man ever
preached before III this city. The speaker
was in deepest earnest and his words
came from the heart, for he was fun of
the love of God and His goodness to the
congregation over which he presided.

Advantages of Wooden Houses.
SANITARY News


In those countries of Northern Europe
where wooden houses prevail, it is con-
tended that when properly built, wooden
dwellings are warmer, less damp and
altogether healthier than houses of stone
or brick. Dr. Seymour, at the meeting
of the Royal Asiatic society of Japan
explained that the remarkably small
infant mortality in that country was
due in great measure to the fact
that the Japanese live in we'll
built wooden houses. 1t is also noticed
that those foreigners living in Japan who
reside in brick and stone houses are much
more subject to diseases and illness than
those who live in wooden houses, it re-
mains long time IN the walls of brick
house. Or course, if it were simply q
question of health, it might be advisable
to rebuild all our towns, but then comes

1t has been apparent to all who have
watched the progress of the South IN re-
cent years that there has been a steady
increase in the values of property in that
section; but the statistics in the matter
are not so generally known. The intiu-
ences which have led TO this increase are
popularity supposed TO have been, in the
main part, two-mauufactures and min
ing. But from the different statistics
now available there appear to be other
influences at woTk-not the least import
ant of which is the increase in population
and the development of agricultural re-
sources.
Under the present conditions perhaps
the best means by which good COMPARE
son can be arrived at is by a collation. of
the statistics showing the assessa Bile
values of taxable property in the differ
ent states in the years 1879 and 1888, and
by calculation of the increase in values
shown thereby, as well as the percent
ages as compared with the values of ten
years ago. So far as percentages are to
be taken as showing the relative in
crease, by far the most noticeable
cases are those of Florida and
Texas, the former showing an
increase of over 195 per cent, while the
latter follows with gEln OF nearly l25
per cent. So far as florida is concerned
twill be admitted With but little dispute
that the rapid advance in financial pros
peIity must be attributed to the increase
of population caused by immigration and
