Lack orHoicI Accommodations.

The daily arrival of strangers in the
city is taxing the hotels and transient
boarding places to their utmost capac-
ity, and as the syndicate which lately
purchased the City Hotel and the
lease of Mr.. j. o. Haines, the pro-
prietor, will get possession of the pro
perty on the 1st of May and make
another use of the building, the lack
of accommodations for transient
guests will be seriously felt. With
the Ponce de Leon and Continental
hotels completed there would prob
ably be room enough for the average
travel, but they are still unfinished
and there are no other buildings to
take the place of the City Hotel. Mr..
Hanes is too popular and successful to
abandon the hotel business and it is
hoped in short time he will be COM
fortably located here with newer and
more commodious quarters.
Judge G. T. Garnet, of Matthews
Courthouse, is in the city.

donation OF Mai. Andrew Lewis for an
academy or college near this city.

added, as nothing has been done in

additional to erect buildings and fix

THE PERFECT MAN.

There was sanitary philosophy in the
enunciationS of one Of the popular
pulpit thinkers last Sunday in picturing
the well-rounded Christian as the ideal
physical and intellectual man. The only
perfect man, religiOusly and morally,
was the most perfect specimen of ma
terial man. There was WEAKNESS from
excess of effort, but never flaw in the
integrity of the human machine. SO it
is insisted that the highest religion is
the NEST complete and rational eXer-
else of the faculties of body aud mind.
With physically and morally perfect
ancestry, the eXemplar of the Christian
system has no moral right TO be sick. 1t
is an impeachment of his spiritual ro-
tundity and fidelity to religious
standards for the Christian 10 he
in need of a physician. 1t was
insisted that he should be his
own physician. Theoretically, the pull
pit was no doubt on the right track. 1t
would be an impeachment of the divine
architecture if i'll the planning OF the
nOblest structure created there were not
perfect adjustment of the parts and alb
sence of destructive friction. If the
chart of life were exact, ana followed
with unfailing precision, it would be
true that such instances, starting in life
with perfect organism, would go
through it with no WEAKNESS of the in
tellect or jostling of the physical ma
chinery. But practically the best of
people do often suffer i'll the flesh. St.
PAUL had a thorn that worried him.
The good are having the epidemic,
while the meamest kind of fellows es-
cape. This does not, however, dwarf
the conception. Goodness is the legend
of high physical estate. The man who
reaches out helping hand to his fell
lows, and Loyalty hears the music of
celestial spheres, gets most of the meat
out of the kernel of life.

Testing the Faith Theory

One of the quiet, conservative towns
OF Massachusetts is badly torn up over
the course of the estimabe pastor of the
orthodox church of the place. He has
been interpreting st. James and the
Acts of the Apostles too literally, or out
of, their chronological relation. How
ever that is, he has bright, sweet little
Seven-year-old daughter lowering on the
brink of worlds with typhoid fever, and
he insists upon making her test of the
remedial efficacy of faith. He denies
her all material and medical agencies,
and, without any exhibition of fanati-
cism in his demeanor, says: 81 let this
rest with God Almighty. am respon-
sible for my chiId's life, and l trust in
the Lord. If that body dies, I'll go to
Jail. FL suffer the consequences. but l
will not doubt the power or the purpose
OF the Lord Jesus Christ" AS Chris
tan he believes in the divine origin and
authority of the Bible, and holds that he
ought to accept them i'll their fullness.
To do otherwise is to fall short of abso-
lutte trust. For two weeks he has
watched every night by the side of the
sick one, but denied admission to a
physician. He claims to have been cured
of rupture by faith. and to have cured
others of serious diseases. some of the
people want to mob him, and others de-
fend him. Itseems to be test case in
the faith cure range.

THE NEW SECT.

Milwaukee has a modern phase of re-
ligious worship that is termed the
Church of Latter-Day Ideas, not saints
exactly. They Ito not impose any ab-
soIute standards of religious thought
and activity, but assume that the old
methods of service have lost their hold.
and new attractions must be had to keep
the devil from having monopoly. The
pastor, JUDSON TITSwoRTU, has the
clerical title, but little of the style
usually associated with the pulpit. A
report Of recent Sunday meeting in
dicates the breadth Of the new school.
The pastor presided and opened with
prayer. when three laymen did the talk
ing. The first was banker, who is re-
ported as delivering something of a
humorous sermon, interlarding his pro-
found argument on the relations of an
cient and modern science with catch
ing anecdotes and sallieS of wit"
He evidently amused lis hear
ers. lie was followed by Justice
MOVES, Of the supreme court. His
theme was THE Puritan Character"
which he elucidated about as Col. PLUM
NIER, of Dakota. used to the tower of
Babel in his lecture with that title. He
said there was so much confusion on
the occasion that no idea of it could be
extracted, and he would not refer to the
subject. He drew upon his Imagination
and made the exercises lively. He was

The MORALITY is Small.

Such reports as that eight policemen
have died in New York with the grip,
and otter persons have committed sui
eide under its depressing influences, are
calculated to give erroneous and in
furious impressions in regard to it.
Needless alarm is excited. If $50
policemen had the prevailing dIstemper
at one time. it is not surprising that
eight of the number should die, as they
might have done had there been no
grip. This is no doubt induced by the
influences TIT cause pneumonia and
similar affections. Care needs to be
taken that it does not develop into
that. The peculiar weather of the win
ter may have been promotive of the dis
ease, and special precaution may be
needful to avert it. There is 10 danger
in the kind of grip that prevails in this
section, as long as it is not allowed to
develop into a serious disease, but most
houses have those who will testify that
it is extremely uncomfortable, and a
good thing to keep at distance and
with other fellows.

SUNDAY CHATTER.

In the discussion going on in the
presbyterieS over the revision of the
Presbyterian creed there is exhibited a
good deal of the conservatism that has
always been found in theological mat
tiers. One of these bodies at Cincinnati
had but four majority out of forty votes
for the belief that all infants dying in in
fancy are saved" 1t is possible that
the condition of, no infant would be
worse had the four majority been on the
other side; and perhaps not one of the
number really cherishes such an appal-
lug traYesty upon any human concep-
ton of equity. The idea might be a
hldeous intruder in the mind, but never
a guest OF the heart 1t is, after all, but
the old formula that has worn the
grooves, and not the thing contained in
1t. Not one of the conservatives would
hesitate to pull an infant out of the fire
without regard to its possible deprayIty.

A most remarkable proposition has
made through st. Paul paper by f. F.

palace cannot be built this year. owing
to lack OF ice. Therefore ne calls upon

The Giggling Habit,

What is known as giggling is the
frOth on the beer that the judicious
consumer blows on the floor if he has
not the time to wait for it to settle
down into the substantial element. 1t
is insisted by some young ladies that it
is peculiarly feminine effusion. other
wise no such impeachment would be
ventured. On a recent Sunday, in one
OF the cities where noted penitentiary
has, perhaps, effected some demoraliza-
ton, preacher dismissed his cOngrega-
ton in the middle of his service on ac-
count OF giggling in the choir. Church
choirs have had sins put upon them not
their due, and pr badly average with
other people III most social respects.
The parties who giggle and litter are
not always at church. They are more
numerous at theaters and places of
amusement. They are usually specially
active when one wants to hear what is
being said. But it is not very important
to the public. The latter is good-nat-
tured and patient. 1t is bad advertise
ment for the giggler. 1t shows light
head, and is sorry reflection upon the
home training. No man Of sense would
want to marry giggler.

True Temperance Reform,

In an article in the current number of
one of the Eastern monthlies DR.. Leon
ard Wolsey Bacon discusses temperance
reform in practical way. He says to
the prohibitionists that sit is time to
get this temperance business out of the
rut Of negation." They have been tell
ing people what they shall not do, but
providing nothing in its place. The
government has of late been acting in
the direction suggested by the theories
of DR.. Bacon. At the soldiers homes
they have provided supplies of beer for
the inmates where there can be judi
cious regulation and no excess, and at
the army posts the canteens are report
ed to be doing good work. They di-
miniSh drunkenness and foster better
social life. Still, those who believe that
prohibition is principle that cannot be
T compromised to effect practical results
will have quarrel OH hand with all re-
formers like DR.. Bacon.
