II Mr. Parnell had fixed his attention
on Pennsylvania a few weeks ago he
might have learned that the vindication
of disgraced leader is sometimes too
big a contract for even party strongly
entrenched in power to undertake. Not
that we would catalogue Parncll with
Quay, but the Irish leader stands self
convicted Of a piece of immortality
which renders him unfit TO lead and
which men Of honor cannot condone.
Patriotism should have taught him this
without awaiting the spur Of Mr. Glad.
stone manly letter. Had Parnell stepped
down at once, the effect would have
been wholesome. In refusing to do
this, it is little to say that he has weak
ened the cause Of home rule. He has
done worse he has subordinated IN
great degree the cause Of the Irish poo
Pile TO the upholding of furnished in
diyidual character. He has substituted
Parnell for Ireland. And Just 50 far as he
has done this, he has alienated thousands
OF earnest Liberals and played right
into the hands Of the Salisbury govern
ment. To be forced into retirement
now will embitter many Of Parnell's
personal friends, but either hemust step
down or Gladstone will, and without
Gladstone's leadership the cause Of

that our manufacturers can fairly compete
with the foreign product, but not So high
as to enable them to drive out the foreign
article, enjoy monopoly Of the trade and
regulate the prices as they please. This is
my doctrine Of protection II Congress

Of free trade, because We shall be more

4 Cow with Hydroplobia.

Last Sunday evening an exciting scene
occurred in railroad camp in North
Fort Worth and several pistols were fred
in rapid succession. The officers repaired
to the scene and found a great riot in the
camp. Lanterns were moving around
amid loud talking, and a man named
White was cutting a fierce COW with an
ak. He was soon Joined by other campers
with hatchets and other weapons, all at
tacking the COW savagely. Explanation
was soon given. A fine horse lay on the
ground horned to death and six other
horses stood near, all bleeding from
wounds made by the cows horns The
animal had gone mad and the campers
were slaughtering her. The COW was a
blooded animal worth $500, and the horses
killed and fatally wounded were worth
$500. Fort Worth Special to Kansas City

had Deen erected. In this stood a col

voice. There was no one except the re-

by the speaker. On inquiry it was found
that the preacher was Robert Bell Two
years ago he was fired from the pas

his church barefooted. He was warned
against this offense. and. needing it not.
one Sunday as he attempted to ascend

from the church. On that day Bell de-
clared that he would preach three times

it, although no one goes to hear him.

l often say that poor people must be
fonder Of their children than the wealthy

up at the age of 26, died of Il galloping

last October that the poor little boy had
no chance of il long life and that it would

Preaching. Against Fortune TellerS.

The lnv. Father Wall, rector of St.
Paul 3 cathedral, scored the people of his
parish yesterday, particularly the mar
RED women. on the practice of patroniz-
ing fortune tellers and wizards who read
the past, present and future.
When 4 person visits fortune teller

out what God alone, and no one else.
knows. When YOU give to IA fortune
teller your presence, and make him or
her believe that they have foreknowl-
edge of seeing the inside view of the
future, you adore him and make him be-
lieve he has power not given to the
devil. If you think he can peer into the
future you make him the equal of God
Therefore you have strange gods before
Him. and violate the first commandment
I'VE find youths, young girls. and es-
pecially married women making prac-
tice of this sin. If you deliberately visit
a fortune teller you are indulging in a
mortal sin. If you go out of pure
thoughtlessness it is not so bad, but it is
Il sin nevertheless. 1t is the same thing
as going to an idol and giving your heart
to it. This is idolatrv of the worst kind.
would like to impress on your mind
that fortune tellers compose the worst
characters in the community. One class
of the business is fortune telling and the
other is the seduction and ruin of youth.

will extend this knowledge. that it is

Growing Demand for Electric Motors

The uses of the electric motor are null

every portion of it finds an immediate
sale. and nearly all the factories are be-
hind in their orders to such an extent
that it is nearly impossible to fill orders
under sixty days. Motors have been in
troduced for all conceivable purposes to
which power can be applied, and small
industries run by electrical power have
started up in many places where steam
power could not have been utilized.
The use of the storage battery is also
growing rapidly.-New York Telegram.
