A CHAPTER ON Boards

DIR. Talmage Quotes Scripture, but Says the
Law Doesn't Apply Now.
'There are number of injunctions about
boards in the Bible said DR.. Talmape
recently, apropos of his act in shaving off
his own beard, "but they are all in the Old
Testament. and can hardly be considered i'm
perative to-day. The nineteenth chapter of
Leviticus, twenty-seventh verse, says, 'Ye
shall not round the corners of thy beard
In the fifth verse of the twenty-first chapter,
it reads: They shall not make badness upon
their heads, neither shall they shave off the
corner of their boards, nor make any cut
tings in their flesh.
'"These two commandments were to the
children of Israel in general and the sons of
Aaron in particular. Even in modern times
the religious teachers of those Eastern coup-
tries wear long boards, because they lend
particular dignity to their owners.
DR.. Talmage declared that in sacrificing
his whiskers he had not been moved by any
desire to be fashionable. He had not really
observed whether clergymen, as a rule, wore
boards ar not

HIS LAST LEAP FOR LUCRE.
STANLEY, THE BRIDGE JUMPER, WILL
PROBABLY DIE.

He Drops Into the Ohio River at Cincin-
natl for a Private Purse and Falls Upon
His side-His W ife Had Declined the
Feat.
CINCINNATI, Feb 14-Meredith Stanley,
the bridget jumper, made what will prob
ably prove a fatal leap yesterday, from the
Cincinnati and Ccvington bridge, over 100
feet, into the Ohio river. Only a few weeks
ago Stanley and his wife made successful
double leap from the Chesapeake and Ohio
bridge. Since then they have been on ex-
hibtion at a dime museum in this city.
Stanley is now in bed, suffering intensely
and unable to talk. His side is badly hurt,
and it is feared he has received fatal in
juries
A party of men few weeks ago raised a
purse of S25 which they offered 10 Stanley
and his wife to leap from the bridge to-
gether This morning she refused on ac-
count of the sum being too small aud the
water too cold. She accompanied her hus-
band down town and then went TO see her
mother. while Stanley went to the river,
telling her he intended making the jump
All knowledge of the proposed jump was
confined to those who had subscribed to
the purse
AT the hour named he walked out to the
middle of the bridge and made the leap.
As he jumped he saw piece of wood float
ing in the water, and turned his body in the
descent to avoid striking it. In conse-
quence he fell yhon his side, and when he
was in the watE he did not reappear very
soon. When he did come up it was soon
seen that he was hurt A boat took him to
the shore, where he was dressed and taken
home. The patrons made themselves scarce
without handing over the money

Successfully.

Successfully.
PINE HILL, NY, Feb. 14.-The resi-
dents of New York and Brooklyn who
spend their vacation in the Catskills, and
travel over the Ulster and Delaware Rail
road, will remember that, at Big Indian,
William Du Boise has a cage in which are
three bears, caught when cubs, and which
Mr.. Du Boise has made pets Of
One of the bears gave birth yesterday to
three little bears. Unfortunately the old
male killed two of them, but Mrs. Du Boise
succeeded In getting the other safely out of
the cage, and she now has it in her house
where she is raising it on the bottle. The
little brute takes to this method as though it
was little baby. 1t is about the size of
large kitten and is entirely destitute of hair.
Mrs Du Boise enters the den of the old
bears and fondles and pets them as though
they were kittens. On Thursday, the Rev.
C. H. Travis, pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church here, paid the family a visit,
and Mrs. Du Boise gave him an invitation
to enter the den with her As soon as he
got in the male began clawing and paving
him. By this time the minister's courage
was down to zero, but being man of the
cloth he felt as though he would be like
unto Daniel of old, and come out un-
scratched. which he did. He preached to-
day on Courage and Self-Reliance."

THE TENNESSEE SITUATION.

Rioting During the Past Week-The
States Heavy Expense in Keeping Sol

Stubborn.

States Heavy Expense In Keeping Sol
diers at Coal Creek, and Miners Still
Stubborn.
people at Coal Creek held numerous con-
ferences Friday and yesterday. One thing
which has caused some of the conferences
was the proposition made by the Tennessee
Mining Company, viz, to conduct the
mine at Briceville on the cooperative plan
The miners haven't fully decided yet what
they will do, but the indications are that
the offer will be accepted. 1t is said now
that if the offer isn't accepted the company
will sell its property to the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad Company. the peniten-
tiary lessees, who will put convicts to work.
There has been good deal of confusion
and shooting around the military camp dur
ing the week. One night the wires were
cut and hundreds of shots were fired. 1t is
evident that the parties doing this hoped to
frighten the militia and cause the soldiers
to decamp. In this they were dis
appointed, as the troops turned the gattling
gun loose on them and put them to fight.
The miners deny that they had anything to
do with this disorder, and they are prob
ably correct The miners declare, however,
that if any miner is hurt by shot from the
camp they will kill every soldier there.
So far no one can tell what the outcome
will be. The State has the larger part of
her standing army" encamped OIL the hill
at Coal Creek and the expense is
heavy 1t is certainly true that
if the troops are withdrawn the con-
victs will be released again. So matters
stand-the miners defiant and the State at
heavy expense. Unless some compromise
is made the outlook is that all operators
will withdraw and turn their property over
to the penitentiarv and Nconvicts be worked
in all mines, or else the convicts will be
taken away and none but free miners
worked, by the withdrawal of the peni-
tentiary lessees.

CINCINNATI, Feb. H.-[Speciat ]-"Pittsburg
has secured in young Winfield Scott Camp q
pitcher who was always one of those win
ming fellows called lucky" said W. T.
Crowell, who was pitcher in the same team
with him at Seattle in the North Pacific
League last season. "He has puzzling mo.
tion in the box, but he relies chiefly upon q
fast delivery. II he should start off with a
run of victories, and his heart does not fail
him. he is likely to prove valuable aid to
Pittsburg. He is very much like Kid Mich
OILS and Elton Chamberlain in his actions,
and always reminded me of those Players

player in the land who is an insurance
agent He has been quite successful as a
solicitor, but expects to 'tgo out' in the

books of the Bible without reason or dis
elimination.
DR.. Briggs asserted that no creed, cate
chism or confession had given sanction to
these traditions An official decision would
be respected, although 1t could not be con-
sidered by Protesta1ts as infallible. When
tradition, however. parades in the livery of
orthodoxy it must be brushed aside and
the study of the word of God entered
upon. In conclusion, DR.. Briggs said:
Criticism is nothing but an exhaustive
study of the Bible, and it has resulted in
making the Bible more read. In the time
when dogma was supreme, the Bible was
simply Il treasury to furnish texts to es-
tablish the dogmas which were built up en-
tirely on deductive logic, but now it is
studied from cover to cover. Think not
that the critics are destroying the Bible;
they are exalting it TO a higher position
than ever before"

NEW ERA OF THE BROOK.
One OF Them Generates Electricity to Propel
Launches on a Lake.


Launches Lake.
In times past the brook has been princi-
pally remarkable as an excuse for poetry, or
as the biding place of the lusty trout Now,
however, the tiny stream of water is likely
to have much more important mission
than to make drowsy music over purling
stones A novel distinction has been re-
Gently acquired by a little stream which
runs into the famous Windermere Lake in
the North of England, in that it was the
first stream in history that has been en-
ployed as the prime mover for electric
boats. Many other streams have previously
been employed for the mere production of
current, but for this special purpose the
priority of Cunsey Beck stands unques-
toned
This little brook finally falls over rocky
ledge to the level of Windermere. The
power generated by the final plunge has
been utilized to turn a turbine, which,
geared directly to the shaft of dynamo,
produces the current, which is carried on
telegraph poles to the lake side. Here the
storage cells slowed away in the launches
are charged, and the boats, without noise.

On February 8, Detective Jackson re-
ported Story in Atlanta county, whittier he
had gone to make arrangements to leave the
country with his wife. He was turned over
TO Deputy Sheriff Smythe, and, en- route to
Jail, after a severe struggle, managed to
again secure his liberty. The following
Monday jackson, with G. W. Brown, Of
Atlanta, tracked Story through the jungles
of Iazoo sunfiower and into Sharkey county,
locating him at the house of a farmer where
he had tarried to rest his jaded horse. After
two days reconnaissance, last night at 7:30

A Mississippi Legislator Would Have the

JACKSON, MISS, Feb. 14-Represehta-

tomorrow introduce in the House joint
resolution inviting Senator Hill to visit the
capital of Mississippi and deliver OH the
occasion of his visit, speech on any sub
ject he may choose, on or before the list
day of March. In conversation Mr.. Burkett
said:
/ regard Mr.. Hill as nearer in line with the
reforms demanded by our people than any
other Eastern Democrat prominent enough
to be mentioned for the Presidency. All-
ance Democrats of Mississippi, and nine
tenths OF the order are Democrats, will sup
port the Democratic nominee, whoever he
may be. Boies. OF Iowa, or Palmer, of IlIi-
nois, would be acceptable TO Mississippi.
MY Individual preference, however, is Hill
and Gray, because l believe that to be the
strongest ticket that could be presented by
the Democratic party.
1t will be remembered that poll of the
Mississippi Legislature some weeks ago
gave Cleveland the lead over the field.
