GLADSTONE MAKES a SPEECH.
Close Vote in Parliament on the Dis
establishment of the Welsh
Church.

In the House OF Commons on the
Goth Mr.. Morgans resolution In favor Of
the disestablishment Of the Church OF
Wales, was rejected by q vote OF 235 To
a83. The announcement Of the large vote
in it favor was greeted with loud opposi-
tion cheers, Mr.. Dillwyn, member for
Swansea, seconded Mr. Morgan's motion
for disestablishmcnt In Wales.
Mr. Gladstone appeared in the crowded
house, carefully dressed and wearing a
flower In the buttonhole Of his coat. He
listened with attention to the opening
speeches. Then rising he said
~ could not have spoken on this ques
ton half century ago AS I am able to
speak now. Then the administration Of
the established church OF Wales was In
many ways feeble and open to heavy CEN
sure. Now the case is very different"
He did not think the Welsh people were
disposed to make inconvenient claims on
the ground OF nationality, but he believed
they had the right to insist upon the
British Parliament paying due regard to
such claims as they were warranted in
making. He had done nothing to advance
the claims of the Welsh non con formists.
II anyone was entitled to praise In the
matter it was Lord Harrington. Laughter
and . gesture OF dissent from Lord Hart
ington.
Such, however, was that gentleman's
modesty that he shook his head and re-
PEELED the compliment. But he tths speak
err must in insist on placing on his lord
Hartington'sl head tho crown he was en-
titled to wear. Renewed lauehterl Az
ter reference TO Lord Hartington's atti-
tude toward Welsh disestablishmeut,M Mr..
Gladstone said he expected to have TO meet
citations from his own speech on former
occasion, but that was twenty years
ago and he had had time to come OF age
again. He might have snid that discs
Enlistment in Wales was impossible, but,
strictly regarded, that assertion might be
said to involve an element Of exaggeration
Great laughter.
The English were Just people and would
insist upon the Welsh receiving satisfac-
ton Of their Just demands, which, In like
circumstances, they would claim for them
selves, Cheers.
Solicitor General Clark having briefly
replied, III House divided, with the result
already announced.
MIR. Gladstone looked better than on
Monday but his speech was conversational
and lacked energy. His reference TO Lord
Harrington was a telling point which was
much relished. MIR Gladstone departed
immediately after he had finished his
speech. having yielded in favor Of Mr..
Morgan's resolution. Hon. Joseph Cham
berlain, Sir Henry James and a few other
unionists voted with the minority, other

SOCIETY does not take its tone from
the tramp. but from those who refuse
him the victuals until he has sawed the
wood. And the tendency is to make
them think more of their own sdvan-
tAge In the matter OF stove-wood than
Of the tramp's in the matter Of victuals.
And this tendency is clearly 10 e1ag-
gerate the evil which is always most
dangerous in organized society-that
OF selfish acquisitiveness in the strong.

The Indians need policing. Policing
in cities is properly the business Of civ

free and interesting, agriculture enoour-
aged, the country will have had It's last

A wiA-dow Decoration.

What is more beautiful for a low screen around the kitchen windows than sweet peas. If the kitchen is on the sunny rde of the house they will luxuriate with no other fertilizer than the soap studs of the weekly washing. The seed should be planted very early in the season, in a rich, sunny place, as deep as six or eight inches. Some fioriculturists plant them In the fall, putting them down the depth of ten inches and covering the ground with rich fertilizer. They must be given something for support as soon as they are out of the ground. Bushes may be used for this purpose. but wire gauge of large mesh, painted medium shade of green, is prettier than anything else. The new varieties of sweet peas are con siderably larger than tho old varieties and will cover trellis from four to six feet in height. A mixture of black-pur- ple sweet peas with the old fashioned rose and white painted lady" looks very pretty on such a trellis. New York Trib- une.

Gagged in the Top of . nullalnr.

For some mysterious reason the ele- vator in Fuller's block did not stop at the desired floor the other day, and kept on to the top of the building in spite of the small boy who was running it. The sole passenger was an elderly lady. It was nearly noon when the ascent was made, and it was after dinner that a gentleman discovered that the elevator boy did not respond to the bells and went to the roof to see what was the matter. He discovered. caged up in the elevator. a very much frightened old lady and a boy, who also showed signs of anxiety. With Q step ladder and some outside help the prisoners were rescued through very small opening above the door on the top floor and the elevator was set in motion again. It will be some time be- fore that lady trusts herself to an ele- vator again. Springfield (Mass,) Home stead.

 To the Editor of The News and Courier: Lieut.. J. P. Roland, of the Third Arkansas cavalry, O. s. A., was killed in the battle at Rivers Bridge, on February or 2, 1865. He was strapped on his horse by some ot his comrades, and carried to Buford's Bridge, six miles west, and buried near small pond. After Sherman's army passed Git being very wet time, the water was rising till it looked like it would cover the grave) s party of citizens removed the body to hill under hickory tree. In 1876 the dead of Rivers Bridge were all gathered up and buried in one place and monument or slab erected over them. Lieut.. Hollands remains were taken up and carried to this place and buried with or near the others, where they now rest. This monument stands within a few hundred feet of where Lieut.. Roland was killed.
 The papers of Arkansas will confer favor by publishing this statement, so that the relatives of the dead soldier may know where he was killed and buried.

Jefferson Holiday, ST., an Old Man, Dies In Terrible Agony--work of James
 naathlay, Who Escapes.

A Harrodsburg. Ky, special of the 9th says: At Caldwell, Washington county, Thursday, Jefferson Holiday, Sr., wss tn vited by James Mathlay to take a drink of whiskey out of 8 bottle. The old man took large draught, but remarked that it tasted very bitter, and also expressed surprise that Mathlay did not drink. At this Mathlay,. while os- tensibly raising the bottle to his lips, let it fall, spilling the contents on the ground.
 After partsking of the whiskey, Holiday was almost instantly taken with excrucisting pains, a1d in an hour died in great agony. Mr. Holiday is the father of Jeff. and Jim Holiday, who overlook Cal. Vest, while returning home from this place last February, and shot him to death in the presence of his bride, for which they are now in jsil. It is the opinion of many that Mathlay was employed by some of Vests family to do the deed because of the killing of Cal. Vest, as he was seen talking to one of the Vest boys just before in- viting the old man to drink. The families have been al outs ten years, and this Is the fifth death in conse- quence. Indignation is so great that Mathlay disappeared before he could be arrested.
