SUNDAY Services.

"Fer he thinketh in his heart, so is he," was
the subject of Chaplain Alberts discourse Sunday
morning. The Chaplain said that we divide a
man into two general parts. the intellectual and
the spiritual, or mind and soul. We locate the
intellect in the brain. and the spirit locate in
the heart. 1t is from these two sources that all
there is of man. aside from his ply steal body.
springs We say of man that he has bright
i,tellect but bad heart. We may regard the heart
the workshop and the mind as the agent who goes
about collecting and sending in material to be
manufactured. The material is the thoughts and
what ever the nature of the thoughts, of like
nature will be the things made of them in the
heart. The relation of the heart to the BODY is
as the intellect to the heart. If the heart is
healthy and supplys the body with plenty of pure
blood, the body will be strong and active If the
mind is pure and active, the heart will be pure
and filled with good impulses. The condition of q
mans heart and mind determine his character

we are able to see If it is good or bad. There is
some peculiar connection between the soul and
the face. so that whatever strong emotions agitate
the heart are pictured on the face. If man takes

The Voice, the national organ of the
Prohibitionists. has the following, which
reads something like syllogism:
Put two significant and unquestionable facts
together and see how they look:
ut is becoming harderl 1.-The use of intoxi-
and harder every yearIcating liquors is increas-
for a man Of knownlng at an alarming rate
drinking habits to ob-I-fully 10 per cent last
tain reputable employyear.'
ment.'
Must not disreputabie and questionable lines
of business vastly increase to accommodate this
increasing army of drinkers who are being
crowded out of reputable employment
Referring to the above. the Chicago
Times asserts that the liquor traffic itself is
refusing employment to men who are vic
tins of the liquor habit. A prosperous
Chicago firm. which has multiplied attract
i've places of sale and gives employment In
the aggregate to large number of persons,
will continue no man on its payroll, bar
tender or porter, who is not absolutely
teetotaler. The members Of the firm do
not themselves drink and they will have
nobody about them on their side of the bar
who does.
The aim of the Voice seems to be to
prove that disreputable and questionable
lines of business are increasing; but if what
the Chicago paper says is true. this would
not necessarily follow from the two ''sig-
nifcant facts" stated by the Voice. The
truth is, that no line of business. however
disreputable and questionable, wants to en-
ploy drinking men. They want drinking
men for their Victims not for their assist
ants. What powerful, practical temper
ance sermon is conveyed in this fact.
The Voices statement that it is becoming
harder and harder every year for man of
known drinking habits to obtain reputable
employment is true. The Voice might
have gone farther and said to obtain any
employment: This being true it ought nat
urally to follow that drunkenness is on the
decrease. The man who allows liquor to
master him is pretty certain to become pau
per in time unless he has inexhaustible
| financial resources. Minneapolis Tribune.

CfrcumStanti Evidence.

The MuldOOn favOrS hanging upon posi-
tive and pronounced evidence but is I'M
aIterabIy opposed to hanging upon evidence
of a crcumstantal nature Aside from the
experience of one of it's editors in the cir
cumstantial line at the close of the war,
and knowledge of the circumstances that
led to the death of G. L. VaIlandngham
and freeing of his client from the charge of
murder, we offer in confederation of our
stand upon this point the circumstances
that led to the sentence of death being
passed upon John G. Avery, and the Cir
cumstances that afterwards led to his ac-
quittal. The case was recently tried at
Milan, Tenn, upon change of venue from
Rocky Springs in that state. Here are the
facts: In June, 1887. Charles EnSley,
cousin of Avery. and a wealthy young man,
was killed in his room at Rocky Springs,
while lying on lounge. about 3 o'clock in
the afternoon. The weapon used was
small rifle. sending 80 caiber ball through
Ensley'S brain. No one was in the house
at the time but Ensley. An empty rifle
was found lying in its rack on the side of
the wall, and the bullet fitted the tube
Avery was arrested for the crime. as he
was the only living close relation to Ens!ey,
and would have protited by his death to an
extent of nearly 500. 900. Avery was
tried, pleaded not guilty. but was convicted
OF murder in the first degree and sentenced
to be hung. Avery appealed to the supreme
court and engaged the celebrated criminal
lawyer, Wallis, of Cincinnati. O., to de-
fend him. and other counsel of state repu-
tation aided him. The supreme court re-
manded it back to the circuit court on ac-
count of technical errors. A change of
venue was taken and the trial transferred
to Paris Two miStrialS have been brought
about. Now comes the strangest part of
the story:
Wallis, with genius almost phenomenal
and influenced by the fee of S.. 0J0. struck
the key note to the mystery. In August
last he had the rifle loaded and hung on the
wall. white sheet with the form of man
marked on it, and pitcher of water placed
80 degrees in the shade one of the hottest
days of the year. The pitcher of water
acted as sun glass. and the hot rays of the
sun shining through the water were re-
fracted directly on the cartridge chamber of
the rifle. Eight witnesses were i'm the room,
and few minutes after 3 o'clock puff
and report and the ball struck the out
lined form back of the ear and the theory
of circumStantial evidence was exploded.
This incident being seen and sworn to read
lily explained itself to the jury. AS the
sleeping man was lying on the lounge the
direct rays of the sun glass heated the car
fridge. causing it to explode. No stranger
case has ever been known in the history of
criminal law than that of the state against
John G. Avery.-The Solid Muldoon.

THE CONDITION OF OUR GAS.
CHEMICAL LABORATORY,
L. s. Naval Academy, Dec %, 1885,

CHEMICAL LABORATORY,
US. Naval Academy, Dec %, 1891.
To he Editor of The Capital The
condition of the gas during the past few
days has been the subject of much com
ment among the citizens. The fault lies
entirely with the gas company. and the
remedy is in their hands. They have been
using for some time past, and are proba
bly, using, now. a coal which contains
too much sulphur for gas making pur
poses This sulphur exists in the coal
as pyrites, and in the process of distil-
lation, is converted to a gas called sui
phuretted hydrogen. The Illuminating
gas is supposed to be freed from this i'm.
purity by the purifiers at the gas works,
and, in the gas from good coal, the
publication is accomplished without diff
ficulty. In the present case, however.
there is either an unusual amount of sui
phur in the coal. or else the purifiers are
not adequate, for the gas is very heavily
charged with sulphuretted hydrogen as
1t issues from the burners. This is not
only readily shown by simple chemical
tests, but the disagreeable evidence of it
is only too plain TO us all.
If allowed to go on, this condition of
things becomes menace TO health, as
we'll as source of great annoyance and
irritation. Were the sulphuretted by.
drogen completely burned, or the result
ing product of combustion a harmless
gas, the matter would be different But
il is apparently not completely burned,
as the odor would indicate. and the pro-
duct OF combustion, sulphurous acid gas.
is itself and injurious substance, irritat-
ing to the throat and corrosive in its &C
ton.
Aside from its injurious effect, the sui
puretted hydrogen diminishes the light
ing power of the gas, and the candle
power of the gas is, at best. not enough
to warrant the very high rates
Hoping that the citizens viii take some
steps to compel the company to abate
this nuisance, am very truly yours,
