The Lord Told Her to Sing. From inc British weeElyl

The Baptist chapel at Leytonstone was crowded on Sunday because of an an nouncement that Madame Antoinette Ster- ling would sing during the service. She not only sang, but at the prayer-mseting which followed joined in prayer and de- livered short address. It may not be generally known that the famous contralto is believer in the doctrine of the Inward Light. A pretty story is told about her in this connection. She WAS present at one of the Quaker meetings at Devonshire Square. and the brethren and sisters re- mained some long time without the spiri, moving any of them to utterance. Al last Madame Sterling got up and sang, 70 Rest in the Lord, ," which created no small stir. The clerk afterwsrd approached hel and said: "Thee knowest, sister, itl against the rules; but if the Lord tellett thee to sing thee must!" It was probably through her recollection of this incident that Mrs. Margaret Lacy, the sister of tha old tribune of the people. John Bright called in her last illness for ''the singing sister," Needless to say, Madame Ster ling went.

BISHOP TAYLOR,S WORK.

BISHOP TAYLORsS WORK.
 Bishop William Taylor is seventy-one years old, and very much alive. During the last eight years he has been fighting heathenism in Africa, and he has re- markable story to tell. He has planted among the tribes in the Angola districts twenty-five mission stations, all of which are to-day self-supporting. The aggre- gate value of the mission property is nearly 10000, exclusive of the $2O, ,0OO steamboat, gift from friends, which he uses in his work along the Congo. His way of starting missions has been to have solemn ''palaver" with the king and head men of the tribe. explain frankly and clearly what he wants, and then have the agreement put in writing and signed with all the formalitiss. It is a very rare thing, he says, that such an agreement is broken. Next @ mission. house is built corrugated iron, stone, or wood, accord ing to location and circumstances-anda 6 larger or smaller number of native boys and girls are gathered into the missionary family, and native laborers are obtained and the work of ftimber-cutting, coffee plant ing, etc., is begun. The supervision of this work, the learning of the language and the training of the native children in religion, morals and industry keep the missionaries so busy that they haven't time to feel lonesome. The women get along even better than the men-are more successful in winning the confidence of the children and teaching them. At pres ent four stations are in charge of women.
 The good bishop hasn't any thrilling tales of "African adventure" to tell. In all the years have been in Africa, he says, 'I have never had an adventure that could be called dangerous, and this, too. despite the fact that am travelling almost constantly and seldom pass a night in doors. The worst danger to the mission ary lies in the climate, but even that isn't 30 bad as some suppose, as is shown by the fact that of all the men and women who have gone out to serve in the cause less than seven per cent. have died"
 When the bishop first went to Africa it was not thought that he would have much success. But he had faith, and the result has surprised the doubters.

He Had Worked in New York


 He had been fortunate in his pleading, and the lady of the house had let him come in to the kitchen fire and eat his breakfast.
 'I feel my position keenly, madam, !" he said in apologetio tones.
 ''Oh, don't mention it," she replied kindly. "We all have our ups and downs I suppose you have worked some time in your lifet"
 He looked at her reproschfully as she said those last words.
 Madam" he said with pride, until last month held life position in New York. Yes, madam, 8 position which would have continued not only during my life, but during that of my children and grandchildren, if I had desired to retain it and transmit it to them"
 "Why did you leave itf' she asked.
 Because, madam, necessity compelled me to. The position was permanent, bu. the receipts were not equal to the dis bursements incumbent upon my style of living"
 "May ask," she ventursd, somewhat overcome by her evident mistake, "what your position wasi"
 Certainly, madam; being 8 New York CT I was never ashamed of it. It was col lector of funds for the completion of ths Grant monument" He resumed his meal and the lady went over and sat down in the corner to think

All aboard for Jerusalem! The French company which is building the Jaffa and Jerusalem railroad has purchased about seven acres of land for terminus three quarters of mile south of Jerusalem. The price paid was SPA. .0O0. It was at first proposed to have the station much nearer the city, near an old Turkish burying ground, but the Moslems objected. The city will eventually be connected with the station by street railroad, and it Is e1- pected that new suburb will spring up about the station.

Farmer joe daniels wants to know why
it 10 that the farmers are poor. de So
licits answers to his question. Wishing
to give our answer some publicity, we
herewith print it in TIE GLoBB. The
reason that farmers are poor in this
state, is because they are such gooses
that they allow Q man like joe daniels to
take from three to four thousand dol
lars year from the state treasury for
doing nothing. The sum which he re
ceives does not make them much poorer,
but farmers who claim TO have = legis-
islature and allow such jobs to be pre-
peated, show an utter lack Of business
capacity. The farmers who are doing
well and who read and think and op-
pose such vicious and dangerous legis-
lation-but the collective crowd OF legis-
lative asses whs posed as a Farmers
Alliance Legislature" allowed themselves
to be robbed and Of course their neigh
bors suffer. Do away with such job

NOT BOYKIN,S DECISION.

HELENA, Mont, Feb 6.-Beer is not a
spirituous liquor according TO the decision
rendered here by JUDGE KNOWLES, Uni
ted States district Judge. This 10 the
original ruling by the federal court on the
subject. OF the state courts that have
passed upon the question, those Of Ne.
Hampshire, West Virginia and Tennessee
have agreed with the judges ruling, while
the court of North Carolina and one in
New York have held the contrary. The
case on trial was that of man who sold
q bottle OF beer TO an Indian on the Crow
reservation. He was discharged. The
federal statutes provide q penalty for
selling spirituous liquor or wine 10 In
dians on the reservation.
The above is a model decision TO be
handed down BY court which processes
to know its business. All men know that
beer will make one blind drunk and hog
drunk. 1t 10 bad old drunk, too. 1t
may take more beer to make fool of a
man than it would take of corn whiskey,
but 10 use phrase, beer gets there all the
same.

MORRIS IN MEXICO.

The fact that the louisiana Lottery
company is operating in Mexico and
Canada, and that it is making money in
those places it is reasonable to believe
that Morris who has suddenly experienced
the spasm of virtue and Withdrawn his
proposition to pay the state of Louisians
a million or two or more of dollars O
year for the privilege Of running his
robbers game in New Orleans, is simply
playing a game of bluff.
1t is intimsted that the agents will
still operate in Louisiana and in other
states and cities where they have been
known. Gambling is carried on under
the eyes of laws which makes it felony,
and the authorities are powerless. The
gambler knows that there is yet honor
among thieves and he keeps mum"
When the lottery is outlawed the
man who plays it will have some deli
cacy in admitting that he is aiding and
patronizing an unlawful institution. So
he will play his fools game of "bucking
the tiger" and he will also keep quiet
about it.
The millions which the lottery first
proposed to give the state Of Louisiana
for the chance to run against the United
states laws, can be better expended in
evading laws and employing counsel to
defend-and so it appears that MORRIS
is making great pretence-but it also
appears that the lottery is not dead and
will not die in ninety fOur-the end of
it's present charter.

BUT 1T Is NOT TRUE,

A college paper comes in which We
read the remarkable statement that the
day is not far distant when college bred
men will rule the world its commerce,
it's arts, and in fact everything.
But such talk is rot. The man who
fails to attend school and receive an edu-
cation will perhaps be partially in the
soup-but the idiot who imagines that a
collegiate course is necessary to fit him
for the battle of the world should go and
be examined for idiocy.
The truth is that the majority of the
college fellows these days imagine that a
sheep skin is all that 10 necessary. They
leave the school and its luxurious ways
the father stops his remittances and the
young buck who played poker and drank
poor whiskey at nights instead of posting
himself on the general features of this old
earth, is in a bad way.
A statement is just published that in ST..
Louis some two hundred graduates from
different colleges are throwing hash in
restaurants-and the fellows who run the
restaurant never saw college.
All the education one may receive adds
just that much to his work shop-provid-
ing he knows how to work with what he
learns. The knowledge gained at school
is only the first step. If you cannot
utilize it, it does no good. That is why
practical men over all the world have
never toted their sheep skins under their
arms and displayed them to people and
said THAT /. my education"
No matter how many cards q printer
may have showing that he is member Of
the typographical union. He may have q
dozen, but il he can't set type that let's
him out. And no matter how many di-
plomas one may have. If he fails to know
what is practical and has not enough in
tellect to put to use what he has learned
he never has been in it.
The college papers, edited by promis-
Ing squirts, make some people tired.

ALREADY TIME.

1t is time now to start the baseball club
again. Durham one time had a good
club, but she failed to support it. 1t is
said that there will be club organized
here this summer, however, which will
knock the spots off even the famous Win
ston nine which cut such a swath last
year.
The programme for this club is pub
lished elsewhere, and we take this oppor-
tunity of making bold to say that it will
be winner from the backwoods.
Baseball is splendid exercise, and espe-
cially will it be splendid when played by
page. Wait for Durham's new Nine, and
you need not wait long.

Let the Governor Help!
[AsheVille Citizen.1


THE DURHAM GLOBE proposes to give
$3.50 to an exhibition at the Worlds fair
and label it "North Carolina" if no
other man or Individual donates a penny.
But THE GLOBE hopes, and so do we,
that there will be great many more pen
nies in the form of substantial checks
contributed for this purpose, and that
North Carolina will have an exhibit at
the Worlds fair that will do the state
credit. But how is this ito be brought
about 1t occurs to The Citizen that the
governor would be the proper person to
give the thing start. A powerful ad-
dress from him might awaken the peo-
pie to full realization of what North
Carolina must miss if it is not so gener-
ously represented at Chicago as to at
tract the attention of a goodly percen-
tage of the visitors. At the present time
We are not going to anticipate the gov
ernor and point out the immense advan-
tages that such an exhibition as that at
Chicago will be sure to afford. We are
only going to remind the people of
Asheville that it will be curious COM
mentary on their good sense if they fail
to see what the furthermost nations of
the earth already see, and are acting
upon, that the fair at Chicago will GER
tainly be the greatest the world has ever
known-greatest not only as a show,
but as means of making money, of ad.
ding to our population and to our
wealth.
1t will not be anticipating the governor
if we say that there should be an Ashe-
vile exhibition whether there is one for
North Carolina or not, and it is also
proper and timely to remind all who are
| interested-and who is not that much
more of delay means that we shall be
shut out altogether, Already the fair
managers have begun of necessity 10 re-
fuse more space to some foreign exhibit
tors who see-what if We see we have yet
to act upon-that the Worlds fair at
Chicago is an opportunity that comes but
few times in the life of any one genera
| tion.
