l.. III. Harris, at one time an engineer
on the Chesapeake and Ohio at this
place, committed suicide in Lynchburg,
last week by drinking laudanum. He
had been living in Danvile for some
time, and his remains were taken there

Mrs Harris states, however, that there
had been no trouble between them, and
that they had lived happily together
since their marriage in 1864, and that
the only trouble which ever occurred
was once when he became intoxicated
and proceeded to smash up things gen
orally He had been expelled from the
Brotherhood and was out of employ
ment. He left home for the purpose of
finding work, and it is supposed lie went
to drinking, which was the cause of
his rash act.

The trial of Dr. Baker, at Abingdon,
Va, for:the murder OF his wife by poison,
is now progressing. The testimony of
Mrs. Gilmer, with whom Baker had
criminal association for years, and whose
husband barely escaped death from poi-
son, is very sensational and damaging.
She acknowledges her guilt and detailed
numerous facts duplicating Baker with
the murder of his wife and the attempt
to murder her husband, with view
finally of marriage between them.

AT THE TABERNACLE,

Text: Sam. ia The evangelist said,
81 am to preach a Fourth of July sermon"
A very large audience was not forgetful
of the tabernacle meeting on the evening
of J uly 4th, notwithstanding the interests
and excitements peculiar to the day.
Mr.. Updike said the stone mentioned in
the text commemorated the victory of
Israel. And if we look at the vision of
John in Patmos we find one of the powers
or nations symbolized was liberty, symbol
lied by the eagle. l believe it was directly
with reference to the United States. Sym
bolic prophecy portrays the character and
history of the nations of earth as they
have risen. We hear too much exclusively
of the ''forefathers'' and LOO little
of ''foremothers." Look at and con-
slider the sacrifices of the Revolution
ary mothers. Women are making
greater progress today than men IN
business, in the professions, in scholar
ship, and l believe they are destined to
lead the developments of the future that
hasten the consummation of Gods pur-
pose, through Christ, our Lord am
willing as man to make any confession
that truth and justice require. This is
hard to do 1t takes heroic will power. 1t
took this will power on the part OF the
fiftysix men who signed the Declaration OF
Independence Just so has it been with
religious revolutionists. 1t was so with
Martin Luther and others. l intend to be
honest on the questions of religious liber-
ty Now, l am willing to surrender every
thing contrary to the word of God,
and if you can show me
the teaching of the bible on any subject,
notwithstanding my individual concep-
tions of it, hold myself ready TO surren-
der to the word and will of God. And if
all the religious world will do this, Jesus
will very soon reign king of nations, as he
now reigns king Of saints. The Fourth of
July should not be used to the injury of
any citizen. 1t should not be used for
drunkenness, carousing and wasting money
and health. There is everything in our
old flag to every citizen. There is one flag
in the collection at Columbus, o., which
interests me more than any other. 1t was
once stained with blood; one in which
l6-year-old boy wrapped himself when he
was wounded and dying. Wespeak of the
blood of Prince Emanuel" 1t is the en-
sign of true liberty and peace,
not only to one nation but to all nations
and ages of this world.
It's triumphs are yours when you over
come 1.-THE world, the flesh and the Devil"
and take your stand with Christ. They
who were here last evening and took their
stand for Christ could this day celebrate
their liberty-God given liberty-as never
before HE is the freeman whom the
truth makes free" God help you TO act
tonight.

CITY TENNIS CHAMPIONS.

The heavy rain OF Friday night made II
very doubtful yesterday morning as to
whether the tennis tournament could come
off, but after securing a half-dozen loads
of sand and having them spread on the
courts and rolled in, everything was in
readiness for play shortly after 10 o'clock.
The drawing in singles then took place,
resulting as follows: Anawalt, Nieder-
lander, f. w Lewis, Evans, Kelly, Carey,
Newcumb, Pierce, Moffat. g. l. Lewis,
knight, Cushman, Hallowell, Dean, Larl-
mer, Skinner, Barney.
The first games of much interest were
between F. W. Lewis and Anawalt and
between Kelly and Moffat, which were
very close and much fine playing being
done. Anawalt won the former and Kelly
the latter game.
Larimer played quite a strong game
winning from Dean and Skinner success
sively but finally fell before the mastery
strokes of knight.
The next match that drew much atten-
ton was that between Kelly and Anawalt
and many thought keely would win but
he was knocked out before the swift piac-
ing and vollying of Anawalt.
The great match however was between
Anawalt and knight in the finals. Al
though Anawalt did much brilliant play
ing, he seemed to be nearly tuckered out
and knight won easily by a score OF 6-3;
SO.
The doubles had by this time been drawn
and resulted as follows: }Larimer and
Evans, Anawalt and Cushman. Skinner
and Dean, Kelly and Mofat, Carey and
Lewis, Lewis and knight, Newcomb and
Barney.
Owing to the lateness of the hour only
two matches were played off. That be-
tween Dean and Skinner and Kelly and
Moffat, which was won by the latter, and
that between Kelly and Moffat and Lewis
and Knight, which was won by Lewis and
Knight, though predictions were to the
contrary. The balance OF the doubles
will be played off later, announcement
will proceed the games.

POLITICAL PREACHERS.

To the Editor of the Eagle
Dear EAGLE-Just now there is a con-
siderable stir among the christian people
in regard to the enforcement of law. Just
how far these christian people attempt to
represent their various churches do not
know, but being a member of the church,
and also prohibitionist, and also in favor
of the enforcement of the law, desire to
enter my protest against any body of men
calling themselves christians and pretend
ing in that capacity to repre-
sent churches and the christian
religion, clamoring for the en-
forcement of law or the making of laws, or
in any manner interfering or presuming
to interfere with the police powers of any
state, city, or county, any further than
this. They are TO preach the Gospel, work
for the elevation, regeneration and puriti-
cation of the individual soul and church,
further than this they are not representing
the lowly Jesus nor the teachings of the
apostles. l believe that as the individual
is purified he is better able to act as a pol
itician, but he must not make his political
schemes in the name of Christ and of
Christianity. Let us have separation of
church and state.

the sort of thing that Mr.. c. W. Biting,

recently underwent
The Kansas Travelling Mems association
recently held a convention at Wichita,
and Mr.. Biting who is an expert at
window dressing and full of original ideas
in the direction, prepared a window to
improve the occasion. The large show
window accordingly represented The
Travelling Mems Convention
The scene was entitled The Merchant
at Home In one corner OF the window
sat the merchant Opposite TO him ap-
reared dozen dummies, all dressed ia
the latest style. Each man presented his
card and each was followed BY a porter
carrying bis samples Their united advent
was too much for the merchant who
threw up his hands is despair at sight Of
the army.
OF course the concourse OF travelling
men gathered in Wichita took note Of the
ingenious skit at their expense, and the
following day eighty OF them called in a
BODY on Mr. Biting and put his joke into
actual practice After an interchange OF
compliments the travelling men lifted
Mr.. Biting bodily on 70 the counter and
gave him the compliments OF three rous-
ing cheers and By acclamation made Elm
