sons in cutting cedar timber aud rafting il

DECIDED BY AN OLD LETTER.

Col. Moore's Signature OF Century
Ago Proves Valuable to Heirs.
PHILADELPHIA. March 27.-After nearly
eighty years the estate Of Col. James Moore
Of the continental army is to be settled.
There was balance of 81 1897 2S left after
Col. Moore's estate was settled in the early
part Of the century. Col. Moore, however,
disappeared and the money accumulated
until IL amounted to over $4,000. The
state and two sets of alleged heirs of Col. .
Moore began proceedings to secure the
money.
One set of claimants comes from Chester
county and another from Maryland, where
Col. Moore is supposed to have gone when
he disappeared. The money was awarded
TO the former and the case was appealed to
the supreme court.
1t appears that there were two Col.
Moores. The Chester county heirs have
shown, however, by their Col Moores sig
nature in papers Of the Society of the Gin
cinnati, that he is the same Col. Moore who
wrote letter from Wyoming May 8, 1854.
AS the Col. Moore who figured in the
trouble at Wyoming is the one who left the
money, the other side has abandoned the
case

plain to every one He made a thorough
examination of that department Of the

it is probable that the donation frII4I the

largely increased. He was shown the diff

and be declared the establishment OF the
college to have been the greatest work in
an educational line ever done in Georgia.
He pronouced the cooking department the
most thoroughly equipped, and the work of
that department. the most perfect OF any
similar institution in the United States.
with the exception OF Pratt Institute, after
which this was modelled.
A great religious wave is sweeping over
Milledgeville at present. The Baptist
church has teen the scene OF the meetings
and Revs Chapman Baptist and Thomas
(MethodisD have led them. Hundreds Of
people attend each service, three times q
day, and great deal Of interest has been
manifested. The meetings will continue
three weeks after which the same minis
ters will carry their batteries to the Meth
odist church and continue the lombard
ment for three weeks more. Some old-time
sinners nvve relented to the charges, and 1t
has been suggested that If the work Is car
ried on without interruption there viii be
very little timber left for future revivalists
to work on-except In propping and re-
modelling thoee that fall by the wayside.

Ee breaches on the Practical Religion
OF ST. Paul
GRIFFIN, Ga. March 29.-Bishop c. K.
Nelson. who Is in the city for the purpose OF
confirming class at st. Georges church,
preached a fine sermon to q large and
devout audience this morning. Bishop
Nelson took his text from the first clause Of
Galatians 81, 20: II am crucifed in
Christ" He divided his subject into three
heads. He said: "This text expresses the
practical religion of St Paul. He
was not an enthusiast He was
an enthusiastic man. but he
was not fanatic nor an enthusiast No
man was ever q more practical everyday
Christian. First he teaches US in this sub
ject the great lesson of patience. IL any
think that religion does not require self
sacrifice he makes q great mistake, for one
must be crucified with Christ But religion
with St Paul meant self-crucihxion. One
Of the reasons why there are 90 many fall
ures among Christians is because so
many think religion requires no sacrifice.
That is a fundamental error. 50 many seem
TO think that because they are baptized and
confirmed there is nothing more for them
to do. This was the lesson Of faith. He
lived By the faith ofithe Son OF God How
many made another great mistake. They
did not seem 70 think 1t vas living prin-
ciple. st. Paul lived as we, life In the
flesh. Living by faith is not just believing
once and being saved. Frequent prayer,
faithful reception Of the holy
communion, CONSTANT and good works,
these are living by faith.
His was a life Of love. The principle Of the
Christian life was loving and serving God
because Christ loved US and we gave our
love in return TO him. Il was a corporate
life, absolute liberty in this world. The
church was a family and our life was cor
porate. Christ in US and we In Christ,
members Of bis body aud his bones aud so
members of each other We were in
way responsible for each other in the church.
The older Christians in this congregation
must see to 10 that the persons to-day con-
frmed had in them examples Of holy lives
and the younger Christians would look TO
the older members and from them order
their lives" The music was a very attract
i've feature Of the service.

There is probably no city In the United
States where the common wild crow makes
himself as much at home as In Omaha
Here they are as common almost as English
sparrowt or tame pigeons, and evince about
as little lear OF man. All through the
winter months, especially when the ground
is covered with snow. this beautiful and in
telligent but very mischievous bird Is a
common sight on our streets and lanes, and
often in the very door-yardsin the center of
the city. They seem absolutely
without fear ofman or boy,
and when busily engaged in
the enjoyment of IA meal can be approached
within few yads before they will take
wing. This is all very strange to pc pie
who have lived in the earterh states, where
the crow is considered the shyest and most
wary Of all wildblrds.
just now they are at their thickest in and
about Omaha, and great tiocks Gun be seen
every morning and evening flying over the
city. In the evening their line OF flight is
from the south and southwest TO the north
aud northeast. In the morning they trav-
erse the same flight back again.

A Lucky Chicago Youth Gets 800
Offers OF Marriage q Day.
From the Chicago Tribune.
George W. Northedge, who fell heir to
an $500, 900 estate not long ago. has discoy-
cred that there are drawbacks occasionally
even to such windfalls Mr.. Northedge
res-Ies at No 1929 State street. The story
Of his luck hadn't been made public TWO
days before Northedge. who is a bachelor,
was the recipient OF hundreds OF letters
from maideDs and widows, old and young
offering him their willing hearts and hands.
sixty per cent of the writers made propo-
sitions Of marriage outright, while Others
less bold, were willing to strike up cor
respondence.
The first day Mr.. Northedge received
twenty-five letters. the next the surprised
postman dropped in with a bundle contain
Ing nearly 200 letters, and since that time
the unfortunate man has been the recipieat
OF from 150 70 800 letters each day. They
came so fast that be has not had time to
open them all, and large number of offers
OF marriage have not yes been passed npon.
Some OF the fair writers hinted that they
were coming to Chicago and would call
upon him and arrange matters at a per-
sOnal interview. Some wanted TO be his
housekeepers, others asked for loans and
udmeo various sums ne might send by re-
turn mail, and still others declared that it
was his own swest self. and not his wealth,
they were after.
Northedge declared emphatically that he
would have nothing to do with any of the
women that had written to him, with one
exception, friend OF former days who re-
sides in Wisconsin. She had written to him
that she was coming to Chicago TO see him
and he would be glad to see her, but as for
the others, as Northedge expressed it. they
wasn't in it." He had received 5000 in
advance from his lawyer on the strength of
his good fortune, and had bought a new suit
OF clothes and patent leather Shoes in which
he was prepared to greet the Wisconsin

Shelter at the Graveside. 9.
From the PhfladeIphia Record

Canopies for graves is the novel idea OF a
local awning maker, which is likely to
prove popular and calculated to fill tte
most approved style OF long-felt want. 1t
is well-known fact that much illness re-
suits from standing at graves in stormy
weather, and this simple device will fore
stall this serious incon nvenience. The idea
is simply to erect a tent above the grave
large enough to accommodate the clergy-
man and mourners. The authorities of sew
eral OF the cemeteries are considering the
advisability Of having the canopies made.
Their value In wet weather can scarcely be
estimated.
