l asked company of gentlemen In
hotel office this question: win you nama
three of the besetting sins of church menu
bersl One answered: Lying is com
mon sin among church members" An
other said: Backbiting is very common
among church members" Still
another answered.: "Multitudes Of church
members are dishonest" Then
various other sins were men,
toned, such as gambling, unclean
speech, covetousness, etc. Three Of the
gentlemen were commercial men. These
remarks were not made In a spirit of fault
finding. lbut as the sober Judgment of the
speakers. / then asked: "What is your
opinion of a church member who lies, back
bites, acts dishonesty, CANDLES, talks OBJ
scenely. etc.p The answer came promptly:
"He is a hypocrite." l asked
character Of the average church mem
Der ranks much above the character of the
average man of the worldN To this there
were different replies, some affirming, 9TH
ers denying, but all agreed that very large
percentage of church members were not SUI
perior in character to men OF the world. 1t
is easy to find fault, to discover the mote In
brothers eye, to parade the sins and fol-
lies of mankind in general, and church
members in particular, before the world;
It requires neither learning, character nor
piety to do this, but it is a fact that rules
of discipline are very loosely administered in
the churches, the consequence of which is that
multitudes of people whose example and
influence are reproach TO Christianity are
in the churches. There is nothing weak In
Christianity; the weakness is in those who
profess 1t. Here mulrtudes make q mis-
take. for in looking at Christianity itself. It's
doctrines. duties preceptssand examples.
instead of looking at those who profess and
practice Christianity, they look at those who
profess it. but do not practice it and thus
fail to see the truth just as one who refuses
TO believe there is any such thing as good
money because he has seen a few counter
felt bills.
pure church. like pure man, is invul-
nerable, and the only way to secure pure
church is to put the impure out and keep
them out, as the weakness of the church is
measured by the amount of impurity in it,
Whenever a church compromises with
worldliness it loses Its power. The need
of this age is churches. or rather
church members who practice what they
profess. Spiritual forces are measured by
quality. not by quantity, and the quality
that gives church members power is piety.
An individual as well as a church without
this quality has no power for good.

he had barely covered two when he ar
rested his footsteps to count the strokes of a
distant church clock. The clock struck 10,
and he found thnt he had nearly three hours
and half in which DO complete his jour
ney. Until then he had walked hurriedly,
but finding himself with ample time in
hand he settled down into a steady pace of
four miles an hour and holding 20 it found

During the whole Of bis nights walk he
had been horribly excited, and thousand
fears had shocked upon his mind, but In the
main he had been conscious of fierce ex-

before. The deed TO which he had looked

seven years was done at last. He had re-

and what with wind and rain, the rolls of

carriages, he had an orchestral accompani-
ment to his thoughts which well-nigh mad
dened him. Som esimes it seemed as il a
whole supernatural world were battering at
his sheltertng place with clamor of hatred
and denunciation. Sometimes the roar of
the mechanic monster tearing through the
night, was like the voice of bis own madly

deed to do over again in an ecstacy OF hate
and triumph, and before his journey was
over the repetition had grown hideously
monotonous. Do what he might he could
not drive it from his thoughts. He exulted

paratus. or else employ It to deceive the
enemy. They were outwitted, however, on
one occasion, and by a woman. Mile
Jultette Dodu. girl OF Is, was
director Of the telegraph station at Pithi-
viers, where she lived with her mother,
when the Prussiaus entered the town.
They took possession of the station,
and. turning out the two women, confined
them 60 their dwelling on higher floor. 1t
happened thar the wire from the office in
running to the pole on the Roof passed by
the door of the girls room, and she con-
ceived the idea of tapping the Prussian mes
sages. She had contrived 20 keep tele-
graph instrument. and by means of q de-
rlvation from the wire was able TO carry
out her purpose. Important kilograms OF
the enemy were thus obtained aud secretly
communicated to the subprefeot of the town
who conveyed them across the Prussian
lines to the French commander.
Mile. Dodu and her mother were brought
before court-martial and speedily con-
demned to death, but befors the sentence
was executed the news OF the arnistice ar
rived aud saved her life. In 1878 this tele-
graphic heroine was in charge Of the post
ot1cs at Mont euil, near Viucsnnes, and on
Aug. Is she was decorated with the Lagoon

A Living Wonder.

Martin McCandless, is II years old
and never saw railway tram until
Nov. Is, 1892, at Weiser station. .Mr.
McCandless arrived here from the
north that day and bought his ticket
to PitLsburg, Penn. In course of
conversation the agent learned that
he had never in his long life yet seen
a railway train. He left the States
before railroads came to This country
and since then has been back in the
mountains engaged in mining. Mr..
McCandless is very Intelligent aud
pleasant old gentleman and one can
hardly realize that he is such back

Deputy Sheriff Joe Bleakley relates
humorous incident that occurred ia
the County Jail on Thanksgiving.
One Of the prisoners whose shift was
about up requested joe to loan him
his shaving utensils so that no might
make presentable appearance when
he struck the street again. The ac-
communicating jailer furnished the
tools, the young fellow .scraped him
self, and was about TO return the kit,
when Jim Green took notion that a
shave wouldn't mar his particular
style of beauty. Jim Green is q
griZGled veteran who alternates be-
tween the County Jail and County
Hospital. Jim was unable to shave
the piratical, barbed wire beard he
had developed since election day, 30
he induced the young fellow TO tackle
the job. It was collar und-elbow
proposition from the start. BY the
time one side of James mug was
scraped it resembled a raw beef steak
while it was difficult matter to tell
the edge from the buck of the razor.
jim kicked and squirnled like an eel,
loudly protesting that if the young
fellow couldn't do any better than
that he had better drop the job. He
was taken ut his word, and Mr.. Green

Of giant powder. During the winter the
two men have been developing a mining

1rost out OF it. When the fact had been
discovered by Richter he exclaimed, 'My

oven door open and was in the act of tax

ploded and tore his left hand completely
from It's socket Richter was standing near
by and huge piece of flesh was torn from
his left leg, also burning him SEVERELY
about the face and eyes.
Richter wrapped stout cord around the
arm of his colleague to check the flow of
blood and start was made to Ogden
where medical assistance could be secu red
They reached Ogden Saturday evening,

would have smothered to death or at least

Hepb"r" is Lost.

A searching pa ~ vas sent out few
days ago in hopes Of finding or getting
some trace of andrew ]. Hepburn. the
lost miner from North Fork canon who
left camp along with companion about the
holidays to come to Ogden and
remain for a few weeks with friends.
Hepburn got separated from his
friend Robert Dyer, and the
latter came into the city, after being ex-
posed To the storm for several days and
nights, and miraculously escaped death in
his tedious journey down the mountains
He expected to lind his colleague here but
failing to do so he raised an alarm and q
party lead by Major Z. A. Littletield left in
search of him. The prevailing snow
storms retarded their progress, and the
party was compelled to return, being I'M
able to reach the Apex mine in which
Hepburn had been at work
1t was believed by some that after
separating from Dyer, Hepburn might
have returned to camp and remained. The
party reached the camp last Friday after
tedious journey, but it as found empty
and no evidences were visible that he had
been there for months.
The snow had drifted around the cabin
and the winters provisions which were
stored in the interior were frozen.
The party returned to the city Sunday
and their search removes the last shadow
OF doubt that Hepburn is buried some
where in the mountains beneath the
treacheross snow where his remains will
be encased until spring
