WORK OF A TIPSTAFF.
Lawyers in Doubt as to Whether Citizen
Making is Part of H-Putting Candi
date for Citizenship Through His PAGES

Lawyers in Doubt to Whether Citizen
Making is Part of It-Putting a Candi-
date for Citizenship Through His PAGES.
Some one once said that when the cat is
away the mice will play" and the remark
in its application has great deal of lati-
tude. There was case in point few days
since. Lawyers. as a rule, are very chary of
expressing criticising opinions of the iudic-
iary, as they do not want to make enemies
of the Judges. Some also say they cannot
afford to fight the Sheriff's Office, but doubt
less the ears of both judges and Sheriff
burn sometimes, if the venerable super
stition be true.
What aroused the criticism on the day in
question was the rather commeu practice OF
a court tipstaff putting some fedgling citi-
zens through their naturalization PAGES.
The question debated by squad of lawyers,
who were waiting for the purpose Of making
motions or attending to other routine bust
ness, was whether the proceeding was
strictly legal-some, in, fact all, so far as
could be learned by one who was trying to
take it in, inclining TO the opinion that it
was not, or, if so, only by scratch.
The controversy opened wide field, in
which the doctrines of transsubstan ntiation,
consubstantIation, etc.. were more or less
dissected. Some thought it just possible
that a long service as tipstaf might
saturate that officer with sufficient
judicial JUNCTION to make his services effect
i've, and that the resulting citizen would
answer the purpose as we'll if made SO by
proxy as by judge. There were Others,
however, who doubted whether tipstaf
was the proper person to. perform the in
itiatory rite, even if the action be lawful.
1t was retorted upon the latter that
they might belong to the ultra
American party, which grudges
the bestowal of citizenship on any foreigner,
but they answered by stating that the mat
ter was too serious 20 be performed BY any
except judge of experience in determining
the character of applicants.
1t is the testimony Of those who have
witnessed the making of citizens to con-
siderable extent, that when politicians are
interested in getting candidate through,
be, unless unusually stupid, is in all cases
sufficiently posted before hand to enable
him to pass the ordeal, no matter who pre-
sides.

CORNERSTONE LAID.

Knoxville Lutherans Begin the Erection Of q
New Church-How q Serious Split in q
Congregation Was Prevented-Property
Bought and Sold.
The cornerstone Of the prospective new
English Lutheran Church in Knoxville, wa,
laid yesterday afternoon. The service was
conducted by the pastor, Rev. G. n. Span
nuth, assisted by Rev. P. Brandt, pastor Of
the German Lutheran Church, on South
Eighteenth street, from which the majority
of the new Knoxville congregation took
their cards. Rev. j. Fl. Schuh and G. W.
Lose, of Allegheny, also made addresses.
The new building will be handsome brick
structure, and will cost about $4,000. A
pa sonage will also be built.
The erection OF this church prevents an
unpleasant split in one of the largest con-
gregarions OF the Southside. For several
years the young people of Rev. P. Brandt's
Church, on South Eighteenth street, tried
to induce their pastor to establish an En-
glish church, but he paid no attention to
their appeals. They then requested him to
hold one English service each Sunday, but
the pastor still refused. The dissatisfied
members then made overtures to Rev. 81. j.
Schuh and G. w. Lose, of Allegheny, and
a mission was established in Allegheny
where Rev. O.. s. Oglesbie. of Columbus,
was soon called and placed in charge.
Mr.. Brandt then engaged an English
preacher, in the person of Mr.. Spannuth,
who bought ground for a church within a
square of the lot owned by Mr.. Schuh. An
understanding was soon arrived at by which
the displeased members in Mr.. Brandt's
church were given their dismissals on con-
dition that thew 90 into the new English
church. Some had already gone into the
other mission and q serious split seemed
imminent But just about that time call
came from Knoxville for mission on the
hill. A canvass was made and 80 families
signified their willingness to go into the
new congregation. Consequently both par
ties interested in the formation of missions
on the Southside surrendered their field in
favor of Knoxville. Their property was
sold and site in the new field was pur-
chased.
The new congregation is already in a
prosperous condition, and gives promise of
being one of the largest on the Southside.

MAGISTRATES MUST LOOK OUT.

The Court Will Not Allow Them to Rub it in
Too Hard.
Edward Mccullough, a colored man, was
given light sentence Saturday on prose-
cution for assault and battery, and Judge
White took occasion to say that he made the
sentence light on account of the fact that
Magistrate Hyndman had exceeded the
boundaries of his duty in the case. Nc
Cullough stated that he had been fined$25 and
costs by the Magistrate for disorderly con-
duct, and then the prosecutor extended the
matter by making further information,
charging assault and battery. Judge White
said magistrates had no right to do so, as
the first offense merged into the second.
A court official says this is quite COM
mon practice with magistrates, and one that
will be closely investigated ii it be not soon

MANNERS AND MORALS.

Rev. George T. Purves Talks Upon the Sub
ject to a Large Congregation.
In spite Of rain and generally ugly
weather large congregation attended the
services at the First Presbyterian Church,
Wood street. last night to hear Rev. George
T. Purves, D. D., the pastor, talk on the
subject OF "Manners and Morals"
By his eloquent and forcible manner he
held the closest attention of his audience
for over an hour, and apparently created
many excellent impressions. With Christ
as guide he pointed out many beautiful
truths, the entire purport of his remarks
being to elevate humanity, with the Savior
as perfect model to follow.

THE WAY TO BE SAVED.
How Rev. Dr.. j. G. Townsend Answers an
Oft-Asked Question.

How Rev. DIR. j. G. Townsend Answers an
Oft-Asked Question.
In the course of his sermon yesterday on
the subject OF, .What Shall 1 do to be
Saved?" Rev. Dr. j. G. Townsend, of the
Unitarian Church, said: "If by this ques-
ton is meant, how shall escape Hades or
gain Heaven, it has largely lost its interest
to intelligent men. But if it means, How
shall live best and wisest; how shall I
build my manhood on eternal foundations;
how shall escape the Hades of selfshness,
intemperance and laziness, it is the most
pathetic question OF all times. The dogma
of material and future hades
is not found in the teachings of
Jesus, rightly interpreted, for He
said, "Blessed are the pure in heart;"
"Blessed are they which hunger and thirst
after righteousness. He saw heaven and
Hades, here and now. Nor does belief in
Jesus mean in the New Testament, intel
lectual assent to system, but to have the
mind, which was in Jesus, and Jesus, great
and unique figure, solved the problem Of
life; he beat his music out, and grand music
it was, such as was never heard be ore. And
if one will copy his trust in God, his belief
in the divinity Of man, his sense of justice,
and his personal purity, which made him
see that the sinful look or the sin ful thought
rehearsed in the solitude of the soul, was
sin, he will be saved. For character is
salvation.
81 have no easy and cheap salvation to
offer you. Your salvation is of yourself.
and in doing right. Get out of the hades of
dishonesty and vice by resolute resistance
to all evil. The saddest thing to me is the
moral indifference of the people, which is
dua In the churches I accuse the Christian
church of a want of mental and moral seri-
BUSINESS. 1t has no soul-transfguring
thought. 1t tries few charities. shakes
few golden crumbs from the table cloth of
its wealth, but it touches not the great
moral questions. Its morality is narrow
and fashionable. Its pulpit is trimming
and apologize. The prophets fire has
gone out. The ethical enthusiasm is found
most outside Of all churches.

to the board Of health . report on the ten

since the beginning Of 1880 all tenement
houses have been constructed under the
supervision Of the health department, and
the construction Of rear tenements has not
been permitted. The records show these
things: I The death. rate vas lower dur

years. Just before returning he wrote
to have Iii, house painted. The house
painting firm to whom he wrote replied
in about a month, stating they would
like to do the work if they could find
the house. Ny cousin hustled home to

The lot was there, but the house was
gone. Somebody had actually moved
away the entire building and all hat il
