A Time for Everything.

4To everything there is a season, and time
to every purpose under the heaven
Never was saying truer than this;
never one of more universal application;
never one the disregard of which would
cause more dire confusion. "A time for
everything and everything in its time"
should be the companion maxim to "a
place for everything and everything in
its place." and if it were made one of
the rules for living how much more
could be accomplished in a stated period
than if duties were performed and yari-
us pursuits pleasurable or otherwise,
followed without regard to the fact that
there is "a time to every purpose under
the heaven" Such, however, is the
rerversity of human nature, that we are
perpetnally taken possession of by
demon Of longing to do certain task or
enjoy certain pleasure in the time that
we are positive, beyond doubt, should
be devoted to some other purpose. Who
has not been the victim of this strong
desire to do at certain time 3that
which he ought not to do. and to leave
undone that which he ought to do?" It
seems too, sometimes, that the more in
significant the duty of the moment the
stronger the aversion to doing it just
then, the more powerful the temptation
to put it off until some other time. We
have felt grieved beyond measure at the
thought OF putting two or three needed
tacks in carpet, and have actually per-
mitted ourselves to defer doing it not
only weeks but months. We fancy eye
brows lifted in horror at this frank con-
fession; but to those who lift them we
would say, "Let him that is without
sin cast the first stone." Such ones,
too, we would urge to give thanks three
times daily that they "are not as other
men are. Christian at Work.

A Newspaper in the Year $3.50.

Twenty years ago the Earth Chroas-
icle's subscription list contained but
few hundred thousand names, and then
Mr.. Fritz Napoleon Smith bought it for
a mere trifie, and originated telephone
journalism. Instead of being printed,
the Earth Chronicle is every morning
spoken to subscribers, who, in interest
ing conversations with reporters, states
men, and scientists, learn the news of
the day. Furthermore, each subscriber
owns photograph, and to this instru-
ment he lea yes the task of gathering the
news whenever he happens not to be in
mood to listen directly himself. AS
for purchasers of single copies, they can
at very trifing cost learn all that is in
the paper of the day at any of the in
Vulnerable monographs set up nearly
everywhere. Fritz Napoleon Smiths
innovation galvanized the old newspa-
per. In the course Of few years the
number of subscribers grew to be 3d.
900, 900, and Smiths wealth went on
growing, till now it reaches the almost
unimaginable figures of Sic, 000, 000, 900.

COL. GOODLOE DEAD.
An Operation Failed to Stay the Fatal
Death Wound.

Col Goodioe, whose desperate encounter
with Col. Swope at Lexington, Ky., created
such widespread sensation, died at 1855 yes
terday afternoon. Late Saturday afternoon
he underwent an operation. He was under the
influence Of anesthetics, and alarming symp-
toms set in soon after. The operation showed

and the bowel wounds were closed. Yesterday
morning the wounded man realized that his

He retained his faculties to the
end and never once lost his nerve.
He died peacefully and painlessly, surrounded
by his family and few close friends. He
joined the Episcopal church before he died and
was baptized. The entire city is in the deepest
mourning over his death and the flag on the
government building has been put at half mast.
The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon

Green Clay Goodloe, his brother, who did not
get there until night

was told that he could not live is that Swope
drew his revolver and shot Goodloe just as the
latter got his knife open. Goodloe said that
feeling he had received death wound he cut
him until he fell.
Hundreds of kilograms of sympathy have
been received by his family. Among them were
messages from Senator Quay. Col. Dudley and
Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson.

AXTELL's RECORD BROKEN.
Sunol Trots Mile Against Time at San
Francisco In 2.10 I-2.

AItell was displaced as the greatest three
year-old trotter Saturday by Leland Stanford's
filly Sunol, which trotted the Bay district track
at San Francisco in 21019 and clipped one and
a-hait seconds from the ex-king's marvellous
performance at Terre Haute, Ind. During the
last few weeks horsemen have been greatly in
terested in the approaching test of Sunofs
capabilities, and when the filly was brought
out on the track Saturday afternoon there was
big crowd present to witness her perform
ance. The start was made with a running
horse, which was about a furlong behind. Sunol
reached the quarter in 32seconds, the half in o.
the third quarter In 1874 The runner pressed
her closely down the stretch and Marvin. her
driver, applied the whip, but the colt did not
make the slightest skip and passed under the
wire in 2.1O13. When the time was announced
there was Wild cheering among the spectators
and the enthusiasm continued several minutes
Sunol had held the record for horses of her
age until Williams wonder began his great
series of trials which finally ended in the Calf
