CLOSING SERVICE.
The Methodist Church Crowded
to It's Utmost
BY the Good People of Olarksville to Wit
ness the Closing Service of the
Convention.

The Methodist church was crowded
to overfewins last night with con-
gregation that had gathered to wit
ness the closing service of the State
Convention OF the Young Mems
Christian Association. A feature OF
the meeting was the excellent music
made by the choirs OF the various
churches. DIR. O. G. Wilson presided
at the organ, and the singing was
simply grand. The service consisted
first of an address by Mr.. Ober, of
the International Committee, and
short speeches delivered by the dele
gates with reference to the work in
the various departments of the Asso-
citation. These reports were very en-
couraging to the members of the AS
soclation. The service wound up the
program of the convention, and
many of the delegates left on the
morning traiDs for their respective
homes. Tonight, however,, at the
Association Rooms the people oi
Clarksville will have an opportunity
of hearing some good music. There
will be concert given for the benefit
of the local Association, and the
price for admission will be only 2t
cents. B. F.-Guille, of Chattanooga
and G. w. Egerton, OF Boston, have
remained in the city 10 aid in this
concert, and they are said to be fine
in their lines. They will be assisted
by some of the best local talent, ano
the concert will be worth more thar
the price Of admission.

But the heartless and indiscriminate

There is little sport more enticing
than the shooting of prairie chickens

compared to it except the hunting OF
wild turkey. While turkey is sought in
the timber of the bottom lands the prai-
rie chicken lives boldly out on the plain,
and trusts to his keenness Of vision and

THE CAVE HOTEL
Destroyed by Fire, Together
With It's Contents.
Nothing saved Of Any Consequence

Mr.. Thompson and his family,

were at the cave. AS soon AZ the
fire was discovered they rushed to
the hotel and did what they could at
saving its contents. he flames had
gained such headway, however,
that their efforts were Of little avail.
The flames leaped and Missed from
one room to another with such rapid
ity that it was extremely dangerous
to go into any Of the rooms. They
succeeded in saving only a small
amount of goods, which were hauled
away in spring wagon.
So quickly did the hotel burn that
the neighbor5 could not get from
their homes to the spot before 1t was
too late to do any good.
The hotel was frame building,
erected about three years ago by MIR.
Barbour, OF Kentucky, owner OF the
cave property, at cost Of about Sos

but the amount of insurace Is un-

The furniture belonged to Mr.. 0.
ID. Thompson, and was insured In
, companies represented by Harrison

probably $500. Mr.. Thompson had

five years, and had been managing
the same since the hotel was erected

is proved by showing how in the first ap-
portionment of the trainers of our consti-
tuition, the basis of apportionment as to
population was even more unequal than it
| is now.
| As to such assembly districts as the ward
In Milwaukee, which has population of
but 6, 1000. it was so situated that it could
have no more, as ward line must not be
broken into, which would be violation of
the constitution. This ward and one adj
joining. containing population of about
1000, had remained untouched, as they
were for years back. Hence, in regard to
superintendent according to population
the fathers never intended iC to be so con-
structed that it would compel violation
of the constitution in order to carry it
out.
1t is also the object sought In appor-
tioning districts, that the people who have
a close community of interest, who act to-
gother in social or local affairs, shall not
be unnecessarily separated, aud therefore
there is variation in the population of ad
joining districts. Although the census,
taken some months before, is to guide
them in redistricting the state, yet it is
fair to consider that they may have better
or other information to go by. The CEN
sus is not to be regarded as absolutely cor
rect. 1t guides them, but is not binding
on the legislature.
As to the vast array of cases cited by
the plaintiffs, they were not related to this
case Of alportionment. In those that were
in no case was an apportionment set aside,
all courts having recognized that it was
a political question, and could not come
under the jurisdiction of any court. As

should the court decide to consider and

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
Williams Pet Measure Meets More an
More Opposition.

nhtEc opposltloh.
BERLIN, Feb 13.-The committee to
which was referred the sectarian (primary)
education bill submitted by the govern
ment to the reichstag has during the past
week, the first week of setting, dealt with
thirteen clauses of that measure, but
has reserved consideration of
the sections relating to questions of
religion. These clauses, with the postponed
questions which form the kernel OF the
measure, will be taken up next week,
when it will be seen whether the govern
ment has the courage to defy the popular
opposition which is led by the most emil
nent men in Germany.
The liberal coalition appears to
have gained an advantage in the
committee by securing the passage of
proposals submitted by Herr Rickert
reaffirming the principle of state control
of schools. Minister Z9dli!z considered
that the declaration did not affect the con-
cessions OF the state in the direction of cler-
ical supervision, and offered no resistance
to the amendment, which was only opposed
by the centrist Church party. Herr Rickert
next tried to get com mlttee TO tx five
hours weekly as the maximum to be de-
voted to religious instructions. On this
pTactlcal question Gne conservatives ana
centrists united to bring about rejec-
ton.
This is regarded as bad omen for the
success Of any other proposed modifca
tions of the religious clauses. The clericals
gave notice of several amendments giving
the clergy even greater control than is now
provided for in the bill.
In the meanwhile protests against the
measure are growing in number and i'm
portance.
The municipal authorities of Berlin, 95
to IA, adopted petition to the landtag
against the bill, and the burgomasters of
the Rhenish towns have decided to protest
against it. A great congress Of profess
ors Of Berlin, Halle, Gottingen and
other university towns, has been
convened here to pass An appeal to the
government to withdraw the measure.
Public meetings have been held in every
populous centre in PrUs ;ia to protest
against the bill and even conservative
districts are declaring in favor Of modi-
fcations.

Gen, Braggs Closing.

At the conclusion OF Senator Spooner' g
argument Gen. Bragg arose to deliver the
final argument in the case He said in
brief: According to the great essayest,
Macauley, the worst thing which can hap
pen to a community is to be constantly
struck by periodic fits of morality. The
morality in this case seems to shift accord
ing to the ms and outs Of the parties.
In regard to the breaking of county
lines the constitution was to be read as it
was written and always understood. An
assembly district should be bound either
by town line, ward line or county line
The reason why county line may be
broken and not town line or a ward
line, is because the town or ward is much
like family, having so close a
community Of interest, in schools, in
churches and in various other ways.
It is not so with the county for there
no such close community of interest, which
in fact often is reason for breaking
off one town and joining it to towns Of
another county with which it has closer
community of interest. That the trainers
of our state constitution SO regarded it is
proven by the fact that they obliterated
county lines in the very first apportion-
ment contained In the constitution it self
He pointed out cases In which the trainers
of our constitution had broken into county
lines, by joining counties together. This
had been followed by all appointments
since.
Some counties like those in the northern
part Of the state have not the required
population to entitle them to a separate
representative 10 the senate, so it is ALSO
iutely necessary that they be joined with
others and county lines be destroyed.
Neither did the trainers Of the constitu-
ton apportion assembly and senate dis.
trlcts according to populations, which
shows how they regarded the so-caiIed
clauses which restrain them in tie act of
superintendent. We need not 90 Mass9.
